There are a lot of reasons why people self-harm, and most of them have to do with psychological trauma. If you are using self-harm as a way of coping with something else in your life, identifying the real problem can help you find ways to stop.  Some people turn to self-harm as a way to cope with current or past abuse. If you are using self-harm to cope with current abuse, talk to a counselor or police officer and get help. You can also read this wikiHow article for tips on how to deal with abuse. There are lots of other reasons people self-harm, ranging from being bullied and feeling rejected to feelings of low self-esteem, guilt, or numbness. Sometimes, self-harm is linked to drug use, since certain drugs can cause depression and feelings of worthlessness. It is incredibly difficult to tell anyone if you have been hurting yourself. But if you are struggling with self-harm, telling someone can be the first step in recovery.  If you're in the United States, call the 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. Talk to your parents or other loved ones. Telling someone you trust can ensure you get the help you need. Talk to your doctor. If you have no one else to talk to, tell your school nurse, doctor, or school counselor. These people can get you a referral to a therapist or psychiatrist for an evaluation. Most people who self-harm do it as a way to get a quick rush of endorphins, a feel-good chemical that helps to combat issues like depression and anxiety. This can be soothing, distracting, or a way to vent. It is a coping strategy to deal with anything from awful life circumstances to mental illness. Finding other ways to cope can help you overcome.  Talk to a therapist. A therapist can help you think of strategies to cope with stress and also to deal with the root cause of your self-harm, such as a traumatic past or bullying from your peers. You can find a therapist by talking to your regular doctor or school counselor and asking for a referral. Exercise. Doing daily aerobic activity...

There are a lot of video editing programs out there, ranging from professional programs with tons of features (Avid, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro) to free programs that come pre-installed on most computers (iMovie, Windows Movie Maker). While free software is becoming more robust every year, you should think about buying a professional program if you plan on doing more than a few home-movies or simple presentations.  Almost all programs have free trials that allow you to test them out before buying. Currently, Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro are considered "industry standard" programs. You'll need to know them to become a professional video editor. While different programs have different features, the basics of most software are pretty similar. Even simple programs have a lot of tools and buttons, but there are three main parts to every video program that you must know:   The Timeline: This is where you order, edit, and trim your footage into the final video. Sometimes known as a "sequencer" or "storyboard editor" this is where you do the majority of your work. Most programs show both audio and video in the timeline. It is usually near the bottom of your window  The Preview Screen: This is where you watch the draft of your movie while you edit. It usually starts out as a black box with play, rewind, and stop buttons underneath it. It is usually in the upper right quadrant.  The Library/Collection: This is where all of your imported audio, video, and pictures are sorted, allowing you to drag and drop them into your timeline for editing. It usually comes with a search function and some labeling tools. It is usually on the left side of the window.   Other sections might include audio controls, a "toolbox," special effects, a place to add titles, and a second video screen to check imported footage. Though each program has different names for them, there are only a handful of tools that are mandatory for basic editing. Hover over an icon to see what it is named in your program.

There are a number of "alternative" or "natural" remedies promoted as cures for clammy hands online. Though some practitioners swear by these solutions, there is very little scientific evidence (if any) supporting these cures' effectiveness. For one easy alternative cure, try soaking your hands in cool or lukewarm tea. For best results, soak your hands in tea (or hold onto wet teabags) for 30 minutes each day for a week. Another easy alternative remedy for sweaty hands involves apple cider vinegar. For this method, try soaking the hands directly in a bowl of apple cider vinegar for five minutes each, then washing with soap and water. Note that washing with soap and water is known to sometimes have a skin-drying effect on its own (see above). Alternatively, you may want to try running a bath and adding a cup or two of vinegar to the water before you get in. Some alternative medicine sources purport that consuming certain "detoxifying" herbs like turmeric, shatavari, and patola can help alleviate sweaty hands and/or feet. While some of these herbs may be used in traditional or non-Western medicinal cures (for instance, turmeric is known for its traditional use as an indigestion cure and anti-inflammatory), there is very little scientific evidence to support claims that they are reliable cures for clammy hands or any other condition. While most "detox" schemes provide little measurable or quantifiable benefit, note that some have even been found to cause harmful (though rarely dangerous) side effects. A simple search engine query can reveal dozens of so-called homeopathic or "natural" cures for sweaty hands. These cures are often in the form of herbs, vitamins, pills, supplements, or some combination of these elements. Though they are often advertised with bold claims about their effectiveness, in reality, very few (if any) homeopathic treatments have been scientifically proven to work. In addition, because homeopathic supplements aren't regulated by agencies like the FDA, there's no guarantee that they are held...

There are a number of alternatives. Think about which one is best for you. This way, you'll enjoy read-walking and have a productive time.  Outside on a sidewalk. This might be a good option if you want to take a relatively slow and short read-walk around your neighborhood. Outside on a path or trail in the forest. If you enjoy nature, and have access to a nice path or trail, this will be a good option. Just make sure the path is fairly smooth. Inside a mall at a non-busy time of the day. This will work great if it is too cold or rainy outside. Inside on a treadmill. Unsafe locations are essentially everywhere. These are places with a lot of other people or traffic, or places with obstacles and other potential hazards. The goal here is to have fun or be productive while exercising instead of getting injured, so pick the best location to do that in.  High traffic places with a lot of cars or bicyclists. A place with many other pedestrians. You don’t want to be walking into other people. Paths and sidewalks that are dangerous because of obstructions and uneven paving. Before jumping on the treadmill or going outside with your book, try practicing at home. This way, you’ll be able to practice reading and walking in a place that you are very familiar with. This will decrease the risk of accidents which could hurt you, because you’ll already know where those walls are and where the furniture is placed.  Try to figure out a safe pace. Experiment with different ways to hold your book. Figure out your reaction time in case you come into contact with furniture or people. After you’ve practiced at home, decide on where you’re going to read. If you’re going to read outside, pick a place and walk it without reading a couple times. This’ll help you familiarize yourself with the route and with any obstacles and potential dangers that might be in your way. Try to go with a light paperback. That way, you’ll be able to hold your book with one hand, and you’ll be able to put it in your pocket or hold onto it with much less...

There are a number of different brushes you can use to apply blush, and the one you choose depends on the result you want to achieve. For instance, you won’t use the same brush to achieve a heavier and more noticeable blush job than if you want to go for a soft and natural look.  Choose a precision brush if you want to apply more color and a heavier coat.  Choose and angled brush for a lighter and softer coat. Choose a fan brush to apply an ultra-lightweight dusting that requires minimal blending and allows for maximum coverage. Swirl the tip of the brush around in the blush, then blow off the excess. When you have an oval face, the key to blush is a light and natural look that highlights the cheekbones. You can always apply more blush later if you want a bolder look, so start with a small amount. Hold the brush at the end to ensure that you only apply light pressure. Apply the blush to the apple of your cheek by making two circles with the brush.  The apple of your cheek is the round part of your cheeks that form when you smile. Smile at yourself in the mirror to locate your apples. Don’t smile when your applying the blush, otherwise you may accentuate wrinkles or apply blush to the wrong spot. After you make the circles at your apples, continue with the brush to extend the line of blush along your cheekbones. Brush the blush onto your cheekbones at an angle, connecting the apples of your cheek with your temple.  Make sure you apply the blush to the upper part of your cheekbone, rather than the bottom.  Once you’ve swept the brush up to your temples, repeat the same path with the brush going back down to the apple of your cheek, so that you make two passes with the brush on your cheekbone. Without adding more blush to your brush, continue to make circles at your apples and then sweep up to your temples and back down again. This will blend the blush into your skin and your hairline. The trick with blush is not being able to tell where the color begins and ends, so proper blending is key. This will ensure a...

There are a number of factors that can put you at risk of stomach cancer. Some are not within your control, while others you can avoid. The risk factors that you have no control over include:  A family history of stomach cancer. A genetic predisposition to stomach cancer. Inherited genetic conditions, such as hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, or BRCA gene mutations. Having type A blood, though the exact reason for this risk is unknown. There are certain situations where you may have been exposed to ionized radiation. This can increase your risk of stomach cancer, especially if the exposure was prolonged or happened numerous times. If you can control your exposure to any radiation, do so. Situations where you may have been exposed to radiation include:  Radioisotope radiation for thyroid cancer. External beam radiation for Hodgkin disease. Being in locations where an atomic bomb has gone off. There are certain jobs that can increase your risk for stomach cancer. Cancer can be caused by working with many different harmful chemicals, such as asbestos, cadmium, radon, benzene, arsenic, vinyl chloride, beryllium, chromium, and nickel compounds. The amount of risk depends on the level of exposure, the amount of time exposed, and the strength of the carcinogen you are exposed to. These jobs include:  The rubber industry. Construction. Woodworking. Mining. Painting. Pesticide work. The chemical industry. The dye industry. There are certain conditions, situations, and viruses that may make you more susceptible to stomach cancer. If you have a history of these, you may want to talk to your doctor about the likelihood of stomach cancer. These conditions include:  Previous bacterial infection from the Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) bacteria, which causes inflammation, ulcers, and pre-cancerous changes in the stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is also a risk factor for cancer of the esophagus. Pernicious anemia, a...

There are a number of garnishes you can put on a waffle, but some of the most traditional are butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, and confectioner’s sugar. You can top your waffle with any combination of these, and classic topping combinations include:  Spread butter over top of the warm waffle, and then drizzle maple syrup on top until the syrup runs down the sides of the waffle.  Spread a layer of sliced strawberries or sliced bananas on top of the waffle, and then cover the fruit with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Add some fresh fruit to the waffle and sprinkle a dusting of confectioner’s sugar over the fruit. In many places, waffles are served and eaten with a knife and fork. Pierce the corner of the waffle with your fork, and use the knife to cut off a small, bite-sized piece. Use the fork to pick up the piece and bring it to your mouth. Wait until you chew and swallow before cutting another small piece.  If the syrup drains off the waffle piece when you pick it up with the fork, dip it into the excess syrup on the plate before taking your bite. If your waffle has toppings life fruit and whipped cream on top, pick up a piece of fruit and cream with each forkful of waffle. This method of eating works best for waffles that aren't garnished with fruit, cream, syrup, and other toppings that can fall off easily. Leave your waffle plain, or garnish it with some powdered sugar. Wrap the waffle in a napkin or piece of waxed paper, and eat the waffle by taking little bites at a time.  In Belgium, there are two main types of waffles, Brussels and Liege waffles. While Brussels waffles are eaten with a knife and fork, Liege waffles are generally eaten with the hands. Liege waffles are sold as street food, and they typically aren't garnished the way other waffles are. Instead, Liege waffles have rocks of sugar in the batter, and the sugar melts and crystallizes when the waffles cook.

There are a number of herbs that have potent antifungal properties. A great way to apply these is through herb-infused essential oils. Make sure you buy 100% pure essential oils to ensure that you are getting a quality product. There are many different kinds of oils that have antifungal qualities, so you can pick which one you like the best. These include:  Tea tree oil Black walnut oil Neem oil Myrrh oil After you pick the essential oil you like best, mix equal amounts of the essential oil with either olive oil, grapeseed oil, or aloe vera gel. The oils and aloe vera gel have additional antifungal properties to help with the fungus. Then, massage the mixture onto the affected foot area or toenails. After you apply it, put on cotton socks and wash your hands very well. Repeat this application twice a day. You can also use an essential oil infused foot soak. Add four to five drops of essential oils to two quarts of water. Let your feet soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat twice a day. Essential oils, like other medicines, are not going to work overnight. Fungal infections of the nails require you to use the essential oil salve for about six months. The nails grow slowly, which means you have to treat it until all of the affected nail is gone to ensure the infection does not return. You will know it is working when a clear and normal looking nail begins to show at the base of the nail.

There are a number of job opportunities for teens, especially in the summer and around the holidays. These do, however, tend to be minimum wage jobs, but having some level of income is preferable to no income. Compare different types of jobs to see if there are certain jobs that will pay more. Babysitting, for example, can potentially pay more than a minimum wage job, although the hours for babysitting may be more sporadic. Strike a deal with your parents to regularly do chores that are beyond your usual chores in exchange for payment. This could include house painting, yard work, babysitting younger siblings, cleaning and detailing the family car, and so on. Offer to do odd jobs around the house or yard for neighbor, especially more elderly neighbors or neighbors with young kid. Put up flyers around the neighborhood that advertise your skills. Dog walking, yard work, and babysitting can be good jobs that neighbors often need help with. Selling some of your possessions can generate some cash for your savings account. Check with family members to see if they have any items to add to the sale; see if they will split the proceeds with you on their items if you handle the entire sale. Put up advertising around the neighborhood in order to increase traffic to your sale. Sell books at a used book store or gently used clothes at a consignment shop. There are also a number of online resale websites, such as Tradesy.com or Copious.com. Get an empty jar and keep it in your bedroom.

There are a number of medicines that are available to purchase over the counter that will help stomach aches. However it is important that you take the right medicine for the right symptoms. Before purchasing a medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist and follow labels exactly. Child versions of medications are safest for teenagers as well. Note that if you experience daily stomach pain for several days in a row you should call your doctor and schedule an appointment to be seen. Prolonged stomach pain could be a sign of a serious health problem. Aspirin-based pain relievers can be harsh on the stomach and even cause bleeding, so avoid taking aspirin specifically. Ibuprofen and naproxen can be irritating as well. Instead of these options, take acetaminophen to relieve stomach aches.  For general stomach pain, call your doctor if it persists for several days or begins to worry you. Aspirin should never be given to children or teenagers unless prescribed by your doctor due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, which can be dangerous. Examples of antacids or acid reducers include zantac, prilosec, and nexium. Heartburn will feel like a painful burning sensation in the chest. It will usually occur after eating or while you are lying down. It is caused by acid build up in the stomach. An over the counter antacid or acid reducer will cure most cases of heartburn.  If you continue to experience heartburn for more than two weeks while on over the counter medicine, or if your pain is severe, you have vomiting, or you are unable to eat due to pain, call your doctor to schedule an appointment. Note that antacids containing aluminum can cause constipation. Also, antacids containing magnesium can cause diarrhea. Read labels carefully. Adult Pepto Bismol, Kaopectate, bismatrol, and and some other drugs marketed for heartburn contain bismuth subsalicylate. Like aspirin, this drug can cause a dangerous condition called Reye's syndrome in children and teens. Do not take it without a prescription, especially if you might have the flu...

There are a number of products on the market designed to make sealing a leak in your radiator simple and easy.  Although there are multiple brands, the methodology of these leak sealant products is fairly universal.  Start by ensuring the engine is off and cool.  Remove the radiator cap and pour the contents of the leak sealant directly into the cooling system.  Top it off with a coolant and water mixture if your vehicle’s engine is currently low.  Replace the radiator cap and start the engine.  The leak will seal as the sealant makes its way through your coolant system.  This method is not as permanent as professional radiator repair or an epoxy, but will suffice to seal small leaks until more permanent repairs can be made. Allow the engine to run for 5-10 minutes while the stop leak product makes its way through the coolant system. After running it, allow the engine to sit overnight as the sealant sets. When you identify a visible crack, clean the area around it thoroughly.  Any remaining grease or dirt in the area may prevent the epoxy from establishing a seal.  Use a brake cleaner and a rag to help you remove stuck on grime.  Once the area is clean, allow it to dry completely before attempting to use the epoxy.  Knead the epoxy in your hand until it becomes malleable enough for you to spread it out over the crack.  Remember to be thorough and to keep the epoxy at least an eighth of an inch thick so it can withstand the pressures of the coolant system when the vehicle is running.  You can purchase radiator epoxy at most auto parts stores. Allow the epoxy to set overnight before starting the vehicle. Eggs are not a good long term solution, but they can actually seal pinhole leaks in your radiator until you are able to have it properly repaired.  Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites.  Discard the whites, then put the yolks from three or four eggs into your coolant system through the radiator cap.  Start the engine just as you would with a leak sealant and allow the egg yolk to travel through the...

Place the 2x4s side by side in perfect symmetry, marking off where each rung should go. Cut out 2x3 notches about 1 1⁄8 inches (2.9 cm) deep into both sides of the 2x4s. Cut the 2x3s the appropriate length for rungs and glue them into their notches with wood glue. Secure your rungs with deck screws and wait for the glue to dry. Stain your ladder to give it a nice hue and protect it from the elements. This roof is made from a simple tarp, although you can also get more elaborate in designing and constructing your roof. Drive one hook into both trunks about 8 feet (2.4 m) above the bottom of the platform. String a bungee cord between the two hooks and slip a tarp overhead. Next, build four outriggers several feet high and attach them to the four corners of your railing. Nail the tarp to the four corners of the outriggers, securing with a washer. Now your roof should have a better overhang. If you want to weatherproof your treehouse, or just give it a more appealing look, now's the time to stain or paint it.

There are a number of ways you learn about mold on wood floors. If you are suffering from mold exposure, you may experience headaches, itchy eyes, breathing problems, or difficulty concentrating. Mold emits a gas that gives it a musty smell. If you notice this smell, you likely have mold, even if it is not visible in your house. The mold may be somewhere not immediately visible, such as in your walls, under carpets, or in a crawlspace or heating duct. If mold is growing beneath your floors, it will eventually cause the floorboards themselves to begin to twist and warp. If there is any sign of warping of the wood, this means your mold problem is pretty far along. If the mold causing the warping isn’t caught and removed promptly, the warped floor may need to be removed. This process is time-consuming and expensive.

There are a ton of welcoming lines in Czech, but these are the two easiest ones to use. The other seven or so options are for specific cases, but these two will work almost anywhere.  Vítej -- "Vee-tai" Vítejte -- "Vee-tai-ta" Simple and easy, it is the sort of thing that sounds just like an English "welcome." However, turn the W to a V and add the word "men" to the end. "Vel-koh-men." Almost exactly like the English version, but with a little harder final syllable. It sounds a bit like "comb." Wel-comb. Simple and easy, it literally means "Good to see you." When saying the final "U" sound, try to pucker your lips a bit. To learn how, say an "EEEE" sound, then move your lips into a U shape. This "e-ooo" is the French U. "Bee-ehn-ven-oo. Like the Danish (the are related languages), this is similar to the English version. However, you again want to sound out the W more like a V. Another language with multiple, difficult versions, these two will get you started in any circumstance. Note that, while there is an "sh" sound, you want to keep it subtle, almost burying it in the rest of the word.  Καλώς Ορίσατε -- "Kah-losh o-rees-a-teh" Καλώς Όρισες -- "Kah-losh o-reese-is"  Similar to the French version, but easier to pronounce. If you're speaking to a woman, replace the final "O" with an "A." "Ben-ven-oo-to." Again, replace the "O" with an "A" if speaking to a female. Note that these are two separate words. Beem Veen-doh Almost identical to the French and Portugese, as they come from similar linguistic roots (Latin). "Bee-ehn-ven-ee-doh."  Put it in the box with Dutch, German, and the others. Keep it simple and replace the W with a V, and add the "men" to the normal English "welcome!" "Vel-koh-men." This is the closest "living" relative of English. It makes speaking super easy -- so just match it close to the normal "Welcome," but use a longer O sound at the end (like in the word "comb." "Wel-comb" Another tricky one -- but you have this!

There are a total of 14 vowels in Icelandic, and all of them can be either long or short. Vowels in single-syllable words are always long. Vowels are also long when followed by a single consonant, or by particular consonant combinations (p, t, or k combined with r, j, or v).  Some vowels have a mark over top of them (á, é, í, ó, and ú). This mark is not an accent mark, like the ones you may be familiar with if you speak French or Spanish. These are separate vowels with their own sounds. The Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós has a pronunciation guide available on their website that lists the pronunciation of all the vowels. Visit https://sigur-ros.co.uk/band/pronunci.php to access the guide. The Icelandic alphabet includes two consonants that are not apart of the regular Latin alphabet with which you're likely familiar. Both of these consonants are actually pronounced the similarly.   Ð/ð is pronounced like the th in the words they or them.  Þ/þ is also pronounced with a th sound. If you don't have the character on your keyboard, you can replace it with a th when typing an Icelandic word. It never occurs at the end of a word. Most of the consonants in Icelandic sound the same as they do in English. However, some do make a different sound, and others sound different when combined with another consonant.   G/g at the beginning of a word is pronounced like the hard English G, as in golf. A g occurring in the middle of a word is a soft g sound, like in the English words design or thing. It basically disappears, but it's not considered silent. There are no silent letters in Icelandic.  H/h usually sounds the same as in English. However, when paired with a v, it has a k sound. This pairing is present in basic Icelandic question words, such as hvað (what), hver (who), hvenær (when), and hvernig (how). The letter J/j is pronounced like the letter y in English, or the same way it's pronounced in Spanish. You can use the word jójó to remember this – it's the Icelandic word for yo-yo, and pronounced exactly that same way....

There are a variety of factors that could potentially be causing your speakers to sound distorted or fuzzy. Mismatched equipment is one of the most common factors. Check that the amplifier and receiver support the ohms that the speakers draw, and that the speakers can handle the wattage output of the amplifier. Check the documentation for all of your equipment to ensure that everything matches. If you've accidentally swapped the positive and negative wires on your speakers, you likely will not hear anything coming out of them. Double check all of your connections, and ensure that the black cables are inserted in black clips, while the red cables are inserted in the red clips.  If the speaker is too far away and you aren't using a proper gauge wire, you can experience a lot of distortion. Try to move the speaker closer to the receiver and then shorten the wire, or run newer, lower-gauge wire. Crossed wires can short out your speakers and cause serious damage. Make sure the black and red wires are not touching when bare at the ends. Check that the speakers are not physically damaged. A blown-out speaker can sound terrible, so ensure that the woofers on the speaker aren't torn. If you see any physical damage, try replacing the speaker.

There are a variety of foods in the typical American or Western diet that should be limited or avoided due to their link to heart disease.  Trans fats in particular are one of the worst foods for your heart.  The majority of trans fats are very processed and are a man-made fat.  Very few trans fats occur naturally.  They're typically labeled as "hydrogenated oil" or "partially hydrogenated oils" on the food label. These fats are considered the worst by health professionals.  They raise your LDL (or bad cholesterol) and decrease your HDL (good cholesterol).  The most common sources of trans fat are:  fried foods, fast foods, baked goods and pastries, creamer and margarine, pre-made cookie dough or biscuit dough, and snack foods like chips, crackers or buttery popcorn. There is no safe limit for trans fats.  You want to avoid them as much as possible. Saturated fat is another type of fat that health professionals typically want limited in your diet.  Although not considered as unhealthy as trans fats, it's still important to limit your total saturated fat intake.  Unlike trans fats, saturated fats occur naturally.  They typically occur in animal products like full-fat dairy products, fatty red meat, skin on poultry and fatty cuts of pork.  Saturated fat has been shown to increase your LDL levels (the bad cholesterol); however, it does not affect your HDL levels.  Some studies have also shown that high quantities of saturated fat may increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.  Health professionals recommend limiting your total saturated fat intake to less than 10% of your total calories.  If you're eating 2,000 calories daily, you shouldn't consume more than 22 g of saturated fat daily. In addition to limiting saturated fats and cutting out trans fats, it's also important to moderate your total sodium intake.  Although sodium doesn't have a direct effect on your heart, other conditions it causes do.  A high sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure and stroke.  High blood pressure can severely damage your heart...

There are a variety of growth serums that you can purchase at your local pharmacy, beauty shop, or department store. These products are advertised to increase the thickness and fullness of your eyelashes. They often contain various ingredients such as natural peptides, vitamins, and oils. Review the label on each product to see what it contains, or ask a specialist at a beauty salon or cosmetic shop for recommendations.  Look for products that contain prostaglandin analogs. These are ophthalmic solutions that  many think may help with eyelash growth. However, their safety and efficacy have not been scientifically proven.  Products that contain keratin, a protein that promotes cell growth, have been praised for supporting hair growth and strength. Consider trying eyelash serums that contain this protein.  Some products are sold as regular mascara with additional oils and vitamins that support healthy eyelashes. There are many eyelash growth serums on the market that you can buy over-the-counter. Since these are considered cosmetics by the FDA, their success rate, safety, and efficacy have not been completed evaluated. Before using an over-the-counter product, talk to your doctor or ophthalmologist to see if using these products is safe for you. Over-the-counter eyelash serums are typically sold with a mascara wand applicator or a small brush applicator. The small brush allows you to more easily apply the product directly to the root of your upper lash line, but the mascara wand applicator allows you to coat you upper and lower eyelashes from root to tip. Perhaps a mascara wand applicator would be easier for on-the-go, fast application. A small brush may be great for those who wish to thoroughly apply the product to each root. Think about which applicator would be easier for you to use on a day-to-day basis. Over-the-counter eyelash growth serums that are sold at everyday shops and pharmacies can cost between $8 and $20. Luxury brands that are sold at salons, department stores, and cosmetic shops can cost...

Choose the person with whom you would like to have this conversation, and have a back-up person, just in case.  Mother Older sister Older female cousin Grandmother Aunt Female teacher Female guidance counselor Doctor or medical professional If your mother is not present in your life, and you have no other women with whom you feel comfortable talking to, be prepared to try to have the discussion with a male figure.  You could ask your father, uncle, grandfather, male teacher, or a male guidance counselor. Instead of having the conversation with a male figure, you could ask him to connect you with a female he knows who would be willing to talk with you about this, like a female coworker or neighbor. You likely have many questions, and you want to be sure to get all of them answered. Compile them into a list to ask during the conversation.  “How old were you when you got your first period?” “What happens during a period?” “What is a menstrual cycle?” “Does having your period hurt?” “How long does a period last?” “What do I need to do to get ready for my period?” “How will I know if I might be having my first period?” “Why do girls and women get periods?” “Do you know of any books or websites that I can read to get even more information?” “What does it mean when you haven't gotten your period by the 'normal age?'” “What are the differences between different feminine hygiene products?” This is a sensitive topic for many girls and women, and it can be embarrassing and awkward to talk about getting your period. Plan out when and where you will have this discussion with your chosen trusted person.  It might be best to do it at a time when no one else is around or will be interrupting. Perhaps you could arrange it for an evening when you know other family members will be busy out of the house.

There are a variety of reasons why you may feel like your life sucks. If you experience a lot of daily stress, you may feel anxious or depressed. You may even have physical symptoms such as headaches or insomnia. Common sources of stress include:  Major life changes. If you're going through a period of upheaval, such as getting out of a relationship (or getting into one), changing your job, moving to a new place, etc., you're probably experiencing stress. New situations and life changes aren't very easy to adjust to, but you will make it if you keep the faith and have a positive, hopeful attitude. Family. If your family life is in disarray, you may feel upset, sad, or anxious. Perhaps you have a dysfunctional family, suicidal parents or have to take care of an elderly or sick family member. Work/School. Work or school obligations are a huge source of stress for most people. If you feel unappreciated at work or school, or stuck at a dead-end job, you may feel like your life sucks. Social life. If you're feeling isolated or disconnected, you may feel like your life sucks. Or, if you feel anxious about meeting new people or hanging out in social situations, you may experience stress if you have to do these things. One way to figure out a possible cause for your feelings is to identify when you feel them. Keeping a journal will also allow you to identify what elements of your situation you have control over, which will help you stay positive. In general, you should remember that you cannot control anything other than your own actions and responses.  For example, you might notice that you feel most upset and sad when you're at work. You may feel unacknowledged and unappreciated. You may feel overworked. This situation sucks. Ask yourself what elements you have control over. You can't control whether others appreciate or acknowledge your contributions. However, you might be able to be more assertive about owning your accomplishments. You can control whether you say "yes" to every project that crosses your desk. You...

There are a variety of things that can cause cold sores and it's a good idea to be extra vigilant if you are susceptible to them. Even stress and lack of sleep can cause cold sores, so try to get a good night's sleep.  If you come down with a cold, fever or flu, your risk of an outbreak may increase because your immune system is compromised. Make sure you're getting all your necessary vitamins and eating healthfully. Menses, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and even sunlight can cause a cold sore to act up. Stress may trigger cold sore outbreaks, so do everything you can to relax. Set some time aside each day to meditate, take deep breaths or simply have a cup of tea, whatever works for you. Fatigue triggers outbreaks, so make sure you get plenty of sleep. Take naps if you need to Too much exposure to the sun can aggravate the area and cause cold sores to emerge. If you do overexpose your lips to the sun, try to ice them as soon as possible, for several minutes. Also, look for a lipstick or lip balm with sun protection of SPF 15 or higher and apply it frequently throughout the day. Know the signs so you can act before your cold sore has a chance to form.   Tenderness, tingling, burning, itching, numbness and pain around your lips may mean a cold sore is forming.  Fevers and other cold and flu symptoms often accompany cold sores, hence the nickname “fever blisters.” Cold sores usually arrive with a warning period of red, irritated skin. Blisters form, burst, and then crust over before they heal. It is in its prodromal stage for 6 to 48 hours before it becomes visible. During this time, you may use the following methods to prevent the sore from surfacing. This is the best time to stop it, rather than having to wait once it gets big and nasty!

There are a variety of ways to maintain a lean physique. However, self-weighing on a regular basis is one of the most important.  Many studies have shown that getting on the scale at least once a week is important for weight maintenance long-term. Those who were more regular with weigh-ins had an easier time maintaining their weight and could maintain it long-term.  When you get on the scale each week, try to weigh yourself at the same time of day and in the same clothes. It'll give you a more accurate representation of any trends. Give yourself a weight range to stick to. It's not realistic to think you'll be the exact same weight every day or every week. It's normal to fluctuate up or down 3-5 pounds. Track your weight in a journal. If your weight goes up too high or too low, you'll know you need to make changes to your diet or exercise plan to correct those unwanted changes. Another way to maintain your physique and to keep yourself at your goal is to take regular measurements.  Common areas to measure and track are waist, hips, thighs, and arms. Keep these measurements in a journal and track them over time. Like regular weigh-ins, taking measurements on a regular basis can let you know if you're staying at a stable weight and level of muscle mass. You won't see many noticeable differences in measurements in just a few days or even a week. Give yourself about a month's time to notice any significant changes. If you're aiming to maintain or even continue to increase muscle mass or decrease body fat, you should see changes in those numbers. If you notice any unwanted to changes to these numbers, take a look at your diet and exercise and make changes to those areas if needed. Even when you're maintaining your goals, keeping a journal can be helpful for maintenance.  You can use your journal to keep notes of a variety of things. It's a good idea to track your food, average calorie intake, exercise, and measurements. If you notice any changes in weight, measurements or overall fitness level, you can return to...

There are a wide variety of different emergency contraceptive pills that contain levonorgestrel (the hormone that can prevent pregnancy) available at pharmacies and drug stores. Some are available over-the-counter to anyone, regardless of age or gender, but others require a prescription in some cases.  There are one-pill and two-pill options available, both of which are equally effective. The one-pill option is available to anyone without a prescription, while the two-pill option requires a prescription for patients under 17 and requires a photo ID. If you need a prescription, visit your doctor's office, a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center, or a women's health clinic as soon as possible to get one. Although it may be uncomfortable, consider talking to your parents and getting their help. If you do not need a prescription, simply visit your local pharmacy to purchase emergency contraception (also called "the morning after pill"). Go as soon as you can after unprotected sex. While the morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, it is more effective the sooner you take it.  Some stores keep the pills in locked boxes or behind the counter, so you may have to ask an employee for help. It's a good idea to call your local pharmacy to find out if they stock emergency contraceptives, as not all of them do. Depending on what brand of pill you buy and where you buy it, you should expect to spend between $35 and $50 at a drug store. If you cannot afford this, you may be able to get the same pill for cheaper at a health clinic like Planned Parenthood. Your insurance may cover this form of emergency contraceptives, but probably only if you have a prescription from your doctor. Over-the-counter pills are available under many different brand names, some of which are one-step pills and some of which are two-step pills. While they are all equally effective, it is important to read the instructions carefully to understand when you should take each pill.  If you use a one-step pill, you should take...

There are all types of smiles - wide, toothy grins that show all of your teeth, more subtle smiles that put just the top row of teeth on display, mostly closed-mouth smiles that reveal just a glimmer of white, and completely closed smiles that show no teeth at all. By choosing how wide to open your mouth, you can control how the world sees your teeth.  Practice different degrees of openness to see which smile looks best on you. It's your smile, and there are no rules about how it should look! That said, try to get comfortable revealing at least a glimpse of your teeth when you smile, because it's very hard to keep your mouth closed when you smile out of happiness. Aim to smile in a way that helps you look your best while also creating a natural-looking expression of cheer. Keep in mind that a smile is often the first impression we have of other people. Think about meeting someone for the first time: what would impression would you get if they seemed to be making an effort to keep their mouth closed instead of breaking into a full smile? It's better to reveal some teeth and have your smile look natural than to close your mouth and look as though you are hiding something. Projecting confidence is more important than projecting perfection, so open up! Perhaps you've heard of smizing - the act of smiling with your eyes, not just your mouth. Engaging your eyes as part of your smile automatically helps it read as more authentic and pleasant. For those who are worried about how their teeth look, smiling with the eyes can draw attention to the top of the face and away from the mouth. Smiling with your eyes - also called a Duchenne smile - enables you to have a bright, happy smile without needing to open your mouth wide.  Try it in the mirror. First, smile without using your eyes. Do you see the jack-o-lantern effect? The smile doesn't look happy, it looks . . . a little scary and fake. Now try smiling with your whole face, especially your eyes. This type of smile looks like a true expression of happiness. Practice...

There are an abundance of skin lightening creams available over-the-counter. They all work by reducing melanin (the pigment which causes tanning and sun spots) in the skin.  Look for products containing effective skin-lightening ingredients such as  kojic acid, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C or arbutin. These products tend to be pretty safe to use, but be sure to follow the directions on the packaging and to stop immediately if your skin has a bad reaction. Never use a skin lightening cream which contains mercury as the active ingredient. Mercury-based skin creams are banned in the US, but are still available in other parts of the world. Retinoid creams are made from an acidic form of Vitamin A and can effectively lighten skin through exfoliating the skin and speeding up cell turnover.  Not only do retinoid creams lighten skin and clear discoloration, they are also highly effective at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, plumping up the skin and making it look brighter and younger. In higher concentrations, it can also help to clear acne. Retinoid creams can cause dryness, redness and flakiness at first, but these symptoms should subside once your skin gets used to the product. Retinoids also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so you should only apply them at night and be sure to wear sunscreen during the day. Retinoids are only available with a prescription, so you should make an appointment with your dermatologist if you are interested in pursuing this treatment. However, a less potent version of retinoid cream, known as retinol, is available in many over-the-counter beauty products. Chemical peels can be very effective at lightening the skin. They work by burning away the top layers of skin which are highly pigmented or discolored, revealing the fresher, lighter-colored skin underneath.  With a chemical peel, an acidic substance (such as alpha hydroxy acid) is applied to the skin and left to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. The peel may cause a tingling, stinging or burning sensation on...

There are are a variety of reasons for  not  becoming friends with an ex-boyfriend. He may still have his heart set on you - in this case, hanging out with him as a mere friend is cruel. The opposite may be true - if you're still into him, you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. Finally, your breakup may have been because of something so serious that it's impossible to look at each other without resentment. If either of you has been deeply hurt, give each other a wide berth. Even if he's calm, emotionally stable, and your history doesn't contain any gaping wounds, you simply might not want to see your ex again. This is  fine.  Exes don't necessarily have to be friends. Even the cleanest breakups can be the cause of hard feelings for both parties. Immediately after a breakup, there's a chance he'll be sad or angry. This is no time to approach him as a friend. Wait for his emotional waters to settle before proceeding.  Similarly, listen to your own heart. If you've still got lingering anger or you're a little depressed, give yourself some time to settle before you make contact.  The length of time you spend apart from each other after a breakup will likely depend on the circumstances of the breakup itself. "Messier" breakups can require months or even years before your feelings have calmed to the point where a normal, friendly relationship is possible. The period after a breakup is a great opportunity for reflection and self-improvement. After you've given your emotions some time to normalize, spend the time you previously spent with your boyfriend on yourself instead. Devote yourself to your hobbies or schoolwork. Spend time learning a new skill. Do things you like to do, alone or with friends. By improving yourself, you're also restoring your self-confidence and your sense of self-reliance, which will make it much easier to start new friendships (and, coincidentally, romances.) After a few weeks of self-improvement, you may find that you don't even think about your ex anymore! This will make it much...

There are countless custom maps available online from a huge number of Minecraft fan sites. Simply search "minecraft maps" to find more maps than you'll know what to do with. Most map listings have ratings and comments so you can browse and find the perfect map to try.  Maps are usually in ZIP or RAR format. ZIP files can be opened without any additional software, but RAR files will require a new program. You can use the free WinRAR trial (rarlab.com) in Windows, or you can use the open-source program 7-Zip (7-zip.org). Mac players can use The Unarchiver, available for free on the Mac App Store. See How to Open RAR Files for more information about opening RAR files. Make sure to note what version of Minecraft the map is designed for. You can change your Minecraft version in the Launcher before starting the game so that you can play maps designed for older versions. Right-click the downloaded map file and select "Extract file" to extract the files into a new folder. The folder will have the same name as the downloaded map file. Open the folder that you just created by extracting the map file. You'll usually see a _MACOSX folder and a folder with the same name as the map file. Leave this window open for now. If you open the folder with the map's name, you should see several files and folders, including a level.dat file, a data folder, and several other files.

There are different reasons to massage your dog (e.g, calm his nerves, warm him up for physical activity, relieve joint stiffness), each of which involves a slightly different massage technique. On most days, though, a basic massage will suffice for your dog. To set up a routine, come up with a word or phrase (e.g, ‘rubdown,’ ‘It’s massage time!’) to let your dog know it’s massage time. Pick a time of day for the massage. It is best to wait until your dog has gone to the bathroom, and at least 15 minutes after he has eaten. The massage area should be quiet and distraction free. Play some soothing music, such as nature sounds or soft classical music.  Set up an area for your dog. The surface on which he will lay should be flat (no pillows or cushions), firm, and soft. A layer or two of comfortable blankets on the floor would work well. Prepare the massage area so you can sit comfortably to massage your dog. Have your dog lie down comfortably on his side. With your palm facing down, use broad, light strokes to touch your dog from the back of his head to the tip of his tail. This will probably feel like normal petting to him, and will help get him ready for the massage. There is no set amount of time for you to do this. Move forward with the massage when your dog looks calm and settled. Starting at your dog’s shoulders and working back to the base of his tail, massage the muscles alongside his spine—do not place direct pressure on his spine. First, use your fingers to make small circles (clockwise, then counterclockwise) down his back.  Next, use your thumbs to apply gentle, vertical pressure down his back.  As you massage along the spine, gently lift up small sections of your dog’s skin and slowly knead it between your fingers.  Throughout the massage, pay attention to your dog’s body language. If he is not enjoying the massage and wants you to stop, he will use such body language as  tensing, holding his breath, growling, and flinching. The sacrum is at the very end of your dog’s spine between the hips. With...

There are different types of a Link costume that you can take. Consider how much time and money you’re willing to spend. Play Zelda and understand the different generations of the video game.  Throughout the generations, the central costume of Link has remained the same. The basics are his green tunic and cap, blonde mid length hair, white or tan pants, and brown gloves/boots. He also carries an array of weapons and a shield. You can decide which of the weapons you’re willing to carry, or omit the weapons entirely if you plan to wear the costume to a location, such as a school, that prohibits toy weapons. To get the basic look of Link, you’ll need a green shirt that is long. You could also use a green tank top that extends past your rear. Don’t worry if it fits you too loose, you’ll be wearing a belt over it anyway. Use a lighter green or white long sleeved undershirt.  Check out some thrift stores before spending too much. Put on the long sleeve shirt and then the green tunic. Finish the torso with a wide brown belt over your waist. For the pants you can use a variety of options based on what generation Link you want to go for. The key to the pants is that they are tight or slim fitting. Go for either white or tan pants. Tights are also a great alternative and fits the time period Link exists in. The head is critical for achieving a believable Link. Fashion the hair by either using a wig or by dying your hair blonde. Find a green hat that slouches off the back of your head.  If you feel serious you could buy elf extenders for your ears. These are optional, but will add a nice touch to the look. If you have a wig, you should spend some time with a pair of scissors and try styling the hair like Link's.  You can also create your own hat by cutting and sewing a green cloth. Any serious Link has to have gloves and boots. The boots are always hi-top brown boots. The gloves are either dark grey or brown. Leather is preferred for an authentic look.

There are different types of therapists, each of whom offers different skills or specialties. These include counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. You can see one or a combination of different ones.   Counseling psychologists: Counseling psychology is a field of therapy that focuses on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed.   Licensed professional counselor or licensed social worker: These types of mental health providers are often much easier to find and schedule counseling sessions with than psychologists. Ask your doctor for a referral or find one in your area by searching online.  Clinical psychologists: These are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and therefore, they tend to focus more on psychopathology, or the study of behavioral or mental disorders.   Psychiatrists: These may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice, but are typically consulted when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication, although some states now allow psychologists to prescribe medication. For help finding a counselor, consider recommendations from friends or family, leaders in your religious community, community mental health center, your Employee Assistance Program (if your employer offers one), or your doctor. Other professional associations like the American Psychological Association may provide search functions for locating their members in your area. Find someone who makes you feel welcome and at ease. A bad counseling experience can put you off the whole idea for years, which could deprive you of valuable therapy. Remember that not all mental health professionals are alike; find one you like and stick with them. Therapists will generally prompt you to speak with careful questions, and then listen to what you have to say. It can be nerve-wracking at first to open up...

There are endless options to create a funky and fun notebook cover. Choose your materials before you get started so you have a plan of attack. Select something to express yourself with!  You can use cardboard, construction paper, or old maps. You can find images on the Internet. Print out 1 image to cover the entire notebook, or use your computer to make a collage of photos. You can select fabric like canvas, denim, or old T-shirts. You could also paint a separate sheet on paper and glue it onto the cover. You can use duct tape and stick it onto the cover. Place your notebook on top of your material, whether it is another piece of paper or a piece of fabric. Mark the edges of your notebook onto your cover with a pencil or pen. This can be a rough size estimate, so you know where to make your cuts. You can cut out a cover for the front and a cover for the back separately, or cut out a size that would fit both the front and back cover in one piece. Be sure to lay your book open flat if you are covering both sides. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your cover, based on the lines you traced. Place your cover on top of your notebook to make sure the size is correct.  If the cover is too big, trim it down so it fits the size of your notebook. If it is too small, you can cut out another cover or improvise with other accessories, like ribbon or stickers. If you are using fabric, use fabric scissors for sharp, straight lines. You can use an adhesive like a glue stick, liquid glue, a hot glue gun, or Mod Podge. Put a thin, even layer of glue onto the back of the cover material. Make sure you coat the edges of your cover so the paper won't lift up later. Avoid applying too much glue on your cover. It will take a long time to dry and create a mess. Try to use thin, even layers. Start at the top of your notebook and line up the edge of your cover with the notebook's top edge. Then, line up the bottom corners as well.

There are five different stages of grief that people go through following this kind of loss. Memorize these steps so that you can figure out where your friend is at in the process and try to help with each specific step. Remember that people are different and some do not go through the stages in order and can revisit past stages before reaching acceptance.  Denial is first. Denial of the reality of the loss is a normal reaction. It may seem like he or she doesn't realize the death of her sibling. It may not have set in yet. Anger comes next. Once the reality of the loss does set in, it's normal to experience anger over the loss. He or she may be angry at the sibling, at herself, or at someone else. Bargaining is third. This shows up as a desire to change the situation, such as wishing that he or she had done something differently. Depression is the fourth step. This is the stage where people mourn the loss and bid the person farewell. It's an essential step in the process of grieving. Acceptance is the final stage. After all of the stages of resistance to loss, acceptance is the stage where people finally come to terms. It's not happiness, but it is calm compared to the stages before it. The grief of losing a loved one is bad enough, but losing a sibling often creates specific painful responses. For example, someone may feel bad about how he or she treated her sibling in the past. A person may feel "survivor's guilt" over being left alive. When talking to your friend or loved one and doing things for him or her, be aware of these difficult issues associated with the loss of a sibling. If you notice that he or she is feeling these things, try to reassure him or her that it was not his or her fault. Grief does not always have a timeline and time does not necessarily heal all wounds. You can expect him or her to get better as time passes, but they may never make a full recovery. People respond differently to loss. Avoid pushing someone to move on. Allow the person to grieve and recover at his or her own pace. If...

There are four different types of venomous snakes in the United States: cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, copperheads and coral snakes.   Cottonmouths. The cottonmouths have elliptical pupils and range in color from black to green. They have a white stripe along the side of their heads. They are often found in or around water, but have also adapted to live well on land. Young snakes have a bright yellow tail. They are often loners, so if you see multiple snakes coexisting peacefully, it is probably not a cottonmouth.      Rattlesnakes. Look for the rattle on the tail. Some harmless snakes imitate the rattle by brushing their tails through leaves, but only rattle snakes have the button-like rattle at the end of the tail. If you can't see the rattle, they also have a heavy triangular head and elliptical eyes like a cat's.      Copperheads. These beauties have a similar body shape to cottonmouths but are much brighter, ranging from coppery brown to bright orange, silver-pink and peach. The young have yellow tails as well.      Coral snakes. Another beautiful but deadly snake is the Coral snake—so beautiful that other snakes—not-venomous ones such as the Milk snake—look just like them. They have distinctive coloring, though, with a black, yellow and red bands, a yellow head, and a black band over their nose. One rhyme to help distinguish coral snakes from king snakes is 'Red to yellow, kill a fellow. Red to black, friend of Jack.' Another variation is 'Red on black, venom lack; red on yellow, deadly fellow'. However, most of the time coral snakes will not bite - they are very shy. There are no known deaths from the Arizona coral snake and only a few from the Eastern Coral snake.    Venomous Snakes in the U.S. tend to have varying colors. Most snakes that are one solid color are completely harmless. However, cottonmouths are also venomous so this is not a foolproof way to tell them apart. Also, beware of venomous escaped pets. Non-venomous snakes have a spoon-shaped rounded head and venomous snakes will have a more...

There are hundreds of apple tree varieties available, each of which does best in a certain growing zone. Planting a tree that is known to thrive in your growing zone will give you the best chance of growing a successful, fruit-bearing tree. The USDA website provides a map illustrating where different growing zones begin and end.  This is especially important for apple trees because apple varieties each need a number of "chill hours" in order to begin producing fruit. Chill time is when the temperature is between 32 and 45 degrees F. Some varieties do best in the north, where the winters are long and cold, and others need fewer chill hours and do fine in southern growing zones. In addition to knowing your growing zone, and how many chill hours it typically provides, you may need account for other climate factors. Humidity levels, annual rainfall, elevation, and other factors such as your local microclimate could influence how well apple trees grow. In order to pick the variety (also called a cultivar) that will grow best on your property, conduct thorough research on those that are available to you. Farm catalogs, websites and local nurseries and farm stores are great resources that can provide you with the information you need to make a selection.   For growing zones 3 and 4, try Honeycrisp, Sweet Sixteen or Macoun. For zones 5 to 9, try Pink Lady, Akane or Ashmead's Kernel.  For 10 or hotter, try Granny Smith or Cinnamon Spice. Cross pollination is usually necessary in order for the trees to produce fruit. Many apple trees will not pollinate themselves or other trees of the same variety, so you may need to plant two different apple varieties in the same area to ensure they get pollinated.  Consult with a local horticulturist or nursery to find out which varieties will pollinate in your area. Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Grimes Golden and Winter Banana are often good choices, since they are known to pollinate. Once you know which varieties will cross-pollinate in your growing zone, you can narrow down...

There are kits available for detecting the type and concentration of both of the two main compounds (or “cannabinoids”) found in marijuana, THC and CBD. In this case, you’ll want to choose a kit that looks for THC in particular. A combination kit that tests for both THC and CBD will also give you the information you’re looking for, though the results may be slightly more difficult to interpret.  You should be able to pick up a cannabinoid test kit at your local clinic or dispensary. If you don’t have one of these places in your area, try looking online. Home test kits typically sell for between $20-100, depending on the level of precision you’re looking for. Running a quick test will make it possible to find out approximately how much THC is in the strain you’re using. This can be useful if there was no medicinal information on display when you bought the product, or if you want to verify the contents on your own to determine the best dosage.  Only test one type of cannabis at a time. Make sure the strain you’re testing hasn’t been in contact with any other strains—this could throw off your reading. In most places where marijuana is legal, vendors are required by law to provide the cannabinoid content for the strain they sell. However, this is not always the case. Home testing is a good way to learn more about a certain strain before you put it in your body. Home test kits are relatively simple to use, but they all work a little bit differently. Look over the included instruction booklet or procedural summary on the back of the box to learn exactly how to conduct the test. Otherwise, there’s a chance that the results might not be accurate. Most kits contain multiple tests, which can give you a second chance if you make a mistake the first time around. Separate out roughly ⅕ gram and drop it onto the bottom of the vial. It only takes a minimal amount to achieve accurate results. The kit you’re working with should specify the exact amount of cannabis you’ll need to use.  Break up large clumps to allow the...

There are loads of studies that show that smiling can be a great way to feel more positive and happier about yourself and your life. Smiling in front of a mirror can really help towards building the self-confidence you desire.  Each morning before you go out into the world, take the time to do the mirror technique. Stand in front of the mirror with a straight posture and your shoulders pulled back. Take a deep breath. Smile at yourself. Notice characteristics about yourself that you admire. Do you love your eyes? You new lipstick color? Your trendy hairstyle? Be prepared. There are always gonna be people who put you down because of you skin color. Remember, what they make fun of most of the time is just stereotypes. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You're a fun, unique person. Don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. Mantras are statements that we repeat in our heads over and over again throughout the day. If the statement playing on a loop in your head is negative, you will feel bad about yourself or lack confidence in your abilities. Positive statements empower you to become the person you long to be.  You can say your mantra in front of the mirror or you can actively think the phrase as you meditate or go through your morning activities like making your bed and brushing your teeth. Restating the positive will eventually allow it to manifest in your life. You can also use your mantra in times of great stress or when you are doubting yourself. Examples of mantras can be quotes or lyrics from songs that reflect your core beliefs, or they can be simple declarations such as "I am enough." or “I am not who I’m going to be. I am always becoming." If you lack self-confidence, you need to take a moment and think about your strengths. Sit down and create a list. This reminds you of all the things you have to be proud of and can slowly make you more confident over time. Sometimes, we focus so much on what we are not that we overlook what we are.  These traits can be physical, academic, or work-related. For instance, you...

There are lots of different compression formats out there, and most of them are not natively supported by Windows. These other formats became popular due to the more efficient compression that they offer over .zip (along with a variety of other factors). In order to unzip these files on a Windows computer, you'll need to install a program that supports the format. Some of the most common formats you'll come across include:   .rar - This is a proprietary compression format, and is very common for downloaded files and torrents. While you'll need the paid version of WinRAR to create .rar files, there are a variety of free programs that can open and extract .rar files.  .tar.gz - This is a form of compression most commonly used in Linux. .tar.gz is actually two formats in one: .tar is an archival format, and .gz is a compression format (gzip). Most free compression programs can create and open .tar.gz files.  .7z - This is an open-source form of compression that is gaining popularity. It allows for efficient compression and encryption. You can use the free official program to open these files or a variety of other compression programs.  .bz2 - This is another form of Linux compression. The file may be a .bz2 file, or it may be in the .tar.bz2 format. In either case, most free compression programs can open this file type. All of the formats listed above, along with dozens of others, can be opened by using free, open-source software. The only time you'd need to pay for archival software on Windows is if you have to create .rar files (WinRAR). To open and extract files from virtually any format, download and install one of the following programs:  7-Zip (7-zip.org) - This is the official program for the .7z format, and can open any of the formats listed above, including .rar files. PeaZip (peazip.org) - This is another free, open source archival program. It is the official program for the .pea format, a newer form of compression. Like 7-Zip, PeaZip can open and extract virtually any archival format. As your install...

There are lots of free calibration images available online. A calibration image will help serve as a reference point as you adjust your monitor's settings. Most monitors have an onscreen menu that you can use to adjust the color, brightness, and contrast. If you do not have an onscreen monitor, you may have specific buttons for these functions. Monitor calibration images will usually have blocks of bright color. Use these to find a color temperature that seems natural and allows you to distinctly see all of the shades. 6500K is the standard for monitors, though some calibration images will ask you to turn it up to 9300K. Not all monitors will allow you to set a temperature value. Use the brightness and contrast controls to adjust how well you can see the dark boxes on the calibration image. You typically want to be able to distinguish the later boxes, but the first few boxes should be indistinguishable. This will ensure that black and dark scenes in movies and games look good. Sometimes the screen won't fit exactly right in the confines of your monitor, and you may notice that your mouse goes off the screen a little, or there may be noticeable black bars around the edge. You can adjust this from your monitor menu. You can shift the screen horizontally and vertically, and you can stretch and squish it. use these controls to make the screen fit your monitor perfectly.
