A prolactinoma is a type of tumor that attaches to the pituitary gland. In almost all cases, the tumor is benign, not cancerous. However, it can cause very high levels of prolactin in the body.  In women, the symptoms typically are changes in menstruation, reduced sex drive, and decreased milk production if you're breastfeeding. In men and women who don't menstruate, it's more difficult to diagnose, but you may have a low libido (due to decreased testosterone). You may also experience breast growth.  If the tumor is left unchecked, you may experience premature aging, headaches, or even vision loss. This medication is the first one that doctors will go to, as it has the fewest side effects and you only need to take it twice a week. It will most likely shrink the benign tumor and bring your prolactin levels down.  This medication can cause nausea and dizziness. The other typical medication is bromocriptine, which can also cause nausea and dizziness. With this medication, your doctor will likely have you increase your dose gradually to lessen the side effects. This medication is cheaper, but you'll need to take it 2-3 times per day.  You may need to take these medications indefinitely, though once the tumor has shrunk and your prolactin levels decrease, you may be able to come off the medication. However, you should not stop either of these medications abruptly. Follow your doctor's tapering instructions. The next treatment for this type of tumor is usually surgery. A surgeon will go in and remove the tumor so that it can't cause issues like increased prolactin levels. If you have another type of pituitary gland tumor instead of a prolactinoma, this may be your doctor's first choice of treatment. Radiation used to be a common treatment for this type of tumor, whether it’s benign or malignant. However, it's less common today, and it's typically a last resort. It can also result in the opposite problem, where your pituitary gland doesn't produce enough hormones.  However, in some cases, radiation may be the only...

A properly fit, properly placed pessary should not feel uncomfortable. In fact, it should hardly be felt at all.  You should also check the fit by bearing down or attempting to use the bathroom. The pessary should not fall out during either action, and you should not have any difficulties using the bathroom after placement. If altering the placement of your pessary does not resolve any discomfort or other problems, the pessary may not be the right size or style. You will need to consult your doctor at this point. You should remove the pessary at least once a week and clean it before inserting it back into place.  Ideally, you should remove the pessary and clean it once a day. Some women may even choose to remove it at night, clean it, and re-insert it in the morning, but you should check with your doctor to verify that leaving it out overnight is acceptable for your condition. When cleaning the pessary, use mild soap and warm water. Rinse the device and dry it with clean paper towels before inserting it again. If you are unable to easily remove and insert the pessary on your own, you should go to the doctor every three months for professional examination and cleansing. Never leave a pessary in for more than three consecutive months without cleaning it. While you should be able to urinate without difficulty, the pessary may fall out during a bowel movement. If it does, you will need to clean it thoroughly before inserting it again.  Check the toilet after each bowel movement to determine whether or not the pessary has fallen out. If the pessary did fall out, scrub it clean with mild soap and hot water. Allow the pessary to soak in rubbing alcohol for 20 minutes, then soak the device in clean water for another 20 minutes. Wash it once more with soap and water, rinse it, then dry it before inserting it into the vagina again. Even if you are able to remove, clean, and insert the pessary at home, you should still schedule an examination with your doctor every three to six months.  Your first examination should...

A proxy server or site allows you to browse the web through a third-party server, thereby masking your own IP address. Though this will not technically unban you from Chatroulette, you can use a proxy to mask your IP address. Though many of these services might be slower than what you're used to, they may be fast enough to use as a temporary workaround.  Some popular free proxy service options are VPNBook and FilterBypass.  Chatroulette may automatically block the IP addresses of certain proxy sites. You may have to try a few different proxies before finding one that works. Common options include coffee shops and libraries, but since these places are often packed with other people, video chatting will be rude and difficult to do. Search for something more private, like a private study room inside of a library. A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a network that allows you to access data from public networks, like the Internet, while maintaining the security of a private network. VPNs are similar to proxy servers except your connection will also be encrypted. Most VPNs cost money, but the price is usually reasonable. Some popular VPN services are ExpressVPN, Norton Secure VPN, and NordVPN. This is usually not an easy task, as most home users' IP addresses are automatically assigned by the ISP. You may be able to force a new IP address to be assigned using the steps in this wikiHow. If not, you can try calling your ISP and request a new IP address be assigned.  One way to try to get a new IP address is to unplug your modem for 5 minutes and then plug it back in. If that doesn't work, see if leaving the modem unplugged overnight gives you different results. You could also try calling your ISP to request a new IP address for your connection. If you're just looking to video chat with new people, you can try using one of the many Chatroulette alternatives. Check out Omegle, Chatrandom, and Faceflow are just a few different options.

A psi wheel is a pyramid-shaped piece of folded paper that sits on a toothpick connected to a piece of foil. Focus on the object, reach out to it with your thoughts, and spin it with your mind.  Trying to simply spin the wheel without knocking it over can help you learn to control your abilities. Place a glass jar or container over the wheel to prevent wind from spinning it. A psi ball is a ball of energy that you can feel, manipulate, and, with time, use to manipulate objects. With your hands held around your stomach, feel the energy at your core. Hold your hands like they're cupping a ball, and visualize its details.  See the ball with your mind’s eye. How big is it? Is it radiating? What color is it? Once you’ve established its form, move it around and let it morph shape and size. In time, you can use this ball to deliver energy into other objects. The same way a baseball would knock over a vase, use a psi ball to affect solid, visible objects. Light a candle, clear your mind, and let the flame fill your thoughts. Watch it flicker and move. Focusing on it, move it with your energy. Move it right, move it left, stretch it up, make it grow in intensity, and make it dimmer. To keep things fresh, try working on 2 or 3 exercises per day. Start by meditating and visualizing to get in the zone. Then try spinning a psi wheel, doing flamework, bending a spoon or fork, or rolling a pen or pencil. Practicing a variety of exercises might help make it easier to practice without getting bored or frustrated. Try doing each exercise for around 20 minutes and practice for about an hour a day. Like any other form of exercise, it’s important to take a break when you get tired. Grab a snack, drink some water, and rest for a few hours. Get back to work only once you feel refreshed. You won’t have any luck staying focused if you try to power through when you need a break. Plus you might wind up with a headache!

A psychologist may diagnose histrionic personality disorder through use of evaluation and observation. Personal, medical, and family history will be discussed. The psychologist may assess the frequency, duration, and severity of the symptoms. Common factors to assess include behavior, appearance, and personal history. It can be important to assess a person’s social and romantic history to gain insight on how they relate with others. Histrionic personality disorder is most often diagnosed in the late teens or early 20s.  Adolescents commonly display behavior that is immature or dramatic, yet this behavior typically decreases and is replaced with more mature or socially adaptive behavior and emotional regulation. If the behavior increases or does not improve into adulthood, then histrionic personality disorder may be considered. Histrionic personality disorder is more often diagnosed in women than men, however, this may reflect socially acceptable roles and not the actual prevalence of histrionic disorder in the general population. For example, a woman who is more sexually forward may be considered outside the norm, while this may be considered normal behavior for men. Many people with histrionic personality disorder may experience depression and/or anxiety as a result of their conflicts with others or after a failed romantic relationship. They may also feel depressed when not the center of attention or when alone. Sometimes, treatment is sought to cope with the depression.  Substance use is common in those with histrionic personality disorder. If a person uses substances that  affect their functioning, substance treatment may be necessary. Although there are no direct links associated with histrionic personality disorder, there may be some probable causes or associated traits. For example, genetic influences and early childhood experiences may contribute to the experience of this personality disorder. Childhood experiences might include learning behaviors or responses from adults. This could be unpredictable...

A purée, a blended vegetable paste, is the most common form of thick soup. Most often, a thick soup is defined by its thickening agent (I.E: cream) as much as its dominant ingredients. If this is your first time making a thick soup, you may want to stick with making a simple purée; if you're feeling more daring, a cream-based soup can be one of the most delicious things you can make from home. Although the possible choice of ingredients is just as varied as with the clear soup, keep in mind that the base of a thick soup won't complement every ingredient. If you're unsure where or how to start with planning your soup, try looking up a few good specific recipes online. Cream of mushroom soup is a well-loved standard, for instance! In the vast majority of cases, you'll achieve the base of your thick soup by puréeing vegetables. Boil the vegetables you want to make your base with. Then, using a food processor or immersion blender, purée your chosen base vegetables until they make a fine paste. Adding this paste to simmering water and stir until the purée is fully mixed.  Although the ratio will vary depending on the desired thickness of your soup, using 1 pound of vegetables per 4 cups of water is a good place to start. You can make a meat base by finely chopping or puréeing cooked meat, like chicken. This will yield a much different direction for the soup, and you may find a meat base carries flavour more easily than its vegetarian counterpart. As an alternative measure, you can go without puréeing anything, instead relying on the thickening agent (which you'll add later!) for the soup's texture. A homemade or store-bought meat or veggie stock works in this occasion, although certain ingredients (like mushrooms) make for wonderful cream soups without being puréed. As with the clear soup, you'll want to give extra time to the larger ingredients you'll be adding to the soup, for the sake of letting everything cook evenly. You'll find aromatics like onions and garlic are particularly useful when it comes to making...

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of the second degree. This means that no variable will have an exponent greater than 2. Because this is a second-degree polynomial, it will have two real roots, or solutions. For example, x2+8x−20{\displaystyle x^{2}+8x-20} is a quadratic polynomial, because the variable x{\displaystyle x} has an exponent of 2{\displaystyle 2}. This means that the term with the exponent of 2{\displaystyle 2} is listed first, followed by the first-degree term, followed by the constant. For example, you would rewrite 8x+x2−20{\displaystyle 8x+x^{2}-20} as x2+8x−20{\displaystyle x^{2}+8x-20}. This is a necessary step for solving all polynomials. For example, x2+8x−20=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+8x-20=0}. To do this, split up the first-degree term (the x{\displaystyle x} term). You are looking for two numbers whose sum is equal to the first degree coefficient, and whose product is equal to the constant.   For example, for the quadratic polynomial x2+8x−20=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+8x-20=0}, you need to find two numbers (a{\displaystyle a} and b{\displaystyle b}), where a+b=8{\displaystyle a+b=8}, and a⋅b=−20{\displaystyle a\cdot b=-20}. Since you have −20{\displaystyle -20}, you know that one of the number will be negative. You should see that 10+(−2)=8{\displaystyle 10+(-2)=8} and 10⋅(−2)=−20{\displaystyle 10\cdot (-2)=-20}. Thus, you will split up 8x{\displaystyle 8x} into 10x−2x{\displaystyle 10x-2x} and rewrite the quadratic polynomial: x2+10x−2x−20=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+10x-2x-20=0}. To do this, factor out a term common to the first two terms in the polynomial. For example, the first two terms in the polynomial x2+10x−2x−20=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+10x-2x-20=0} are x2+10x{\displaystyle x^{2}+10x}. A term common to both is x{\displaystyle x}. Thus, the factored group is x(x+10){\displaystyle x(x+10)}. To do this, factor out a term common to the second two terms in the polynomial. For example, the second two terms in the polynomial x2+10x−2x−20=0{\displaystyle x^{2}+10x-2x-20=0} are...

A quick and easy way to gain experience and familiarity as an affiliate marketer is by joining an online community or forum. These online resources are free to join and can offer invaluable advice to marketers at all experience levels. Digital Point, aBestWeb, and Warrior Forum are excellent and free resources for affiliate marketers. In addition to advice from more experienced marketers, these forums also offer networking opportunities to connect with other marketers. Affiliate marketing takes a lot of work and patience before any real money is made. Affiliate marketing programs drive traffic to the affiliate marketer's website, but the marketer is responsible for building lasting professional relationships with the affiliate partners out of that web traffic. The marketer must also continually seek out better partnerships with other affiliates.  Learn how your affiliate partners prefer to communicate. Every partner will have a different work schedule and communication preferences, and it falls on you to respect those preferences.  Know what your affiliates need and expect from you.  Brainstorm new ideas to pitch to your affiliates. You should do a substantial amount of research on your affiliates' websites, and know how they can improve their websites and services.  Seek feedback from your affiliates on how you can improve your own platform. It's not enough to get people to visit your website or blog. In order to generate money from your marketing platform, you'll need to get people to click your affiliates' links. There are four primary methods of attracting potential customers:   Paid advertising — this method requires an effective combination of ad copy, graphics, and a highly-clickable link. Unlike more traditional affiliate marketing strategies, paid advertising (through pay-per-click ads) earn you money regardless of whether a reader buys the product or not. Services like Google's AdSense make this quick and easy for you, and can even supply you with an advertising code.   Free advertising — this...

A quick way to decide on a chocolate-drink pairing is to look at the tasting notes for both the chocolate and the drink. This goes for tea or alcohol, which are both commonly paired with chocolate. Examples:  If you’re having a cup of tea with floral notes (e.g. jasmine green tea or a floral oolong), aim for a dark chocolate with floral notes.  If you’re having a Dragonwell tea or another type of tea with a nutty flavor, aim for chocolate that also has nutty notes — for example, an almond bark or dark chocolate with nutty tasting notes.  Earl Grey tea has pronounced citrusy notes and goes well with dark chocolate that also contains citrusy notes. Pairing drinks and chocolates with matching tasting notes to enhance the flavors of both the chocolate and the drink is a great way to start, but you can also contrast flavors and complement them.  Earthy teas (pu-erh, for example) go nicely with floral dark chocolates, while spicy teas such as Masala Chai black tea go well with milk or white chocolate.  Combine teas with “toasty” notes (e.g. Hojicha green tea or Wuyi Oolong) with sweet milk chocolate or chocolate caramels. Light teas go nicely with fruity, spiced, or cream-based chocolates. Fruity teas go well with simple dark chocolates. Dark teas go well with most types of chocolate. The pairing possibilities are endless, but here are some more suggestions:  Pair white chocolate with Matcha, Sencha, and Dragonwell teas. Pair milk chocolate with Dragonwell, Sencha, Darjeeling, Oolong, and Masala Chai teas. Pair dark chocolate with Assam, Keemun, Gyokuro, Oolong, Match, and Earl Grey teas. When choosing which chocolates to pair with which coffees, consider the flavor profiles of both the chocolate and the coffee. You can do this with black coffee or any milky coffee drink of your choice.  Espresso roasts go well with dark chocolates, caramel chocolates, and chocolates with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. French roasts go nicely with dark chocolates, chocolates with roasted almonds or hazelnuts, and any chocolates...

A recent study concluded that while rare, the frequent use of talc around a woman’s genital area can be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer by about 20-30%. An opinion prepared for a civil lawsuit concluded the same.  Overall, the use of talc is a smaller risk for ovarian cancer as compared to obesity, the use of hormone replacement therapy, and family history, but is does appear to be real. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, a division of the World Health Organization, has talc listed as a possible carcinogen. Talcum powder is found in many baby powders and may pose a risk for your baby. The main danger for children is inhalation of the talcum powder dust, which can cause problems. Infants are especially at risk.  Inhaling talcum powder may cause coughing, eye and throat irritation, difficulty breathing, wheezing, shallow breaths, chest pain, lung failure, diarrhea, vomiting, and even urinary or circulatory problems. In severe cases, comas or fever may occur. You can buy talc-free baby powders, use an alternative, or skip the powder all together and use creams or ointments. Decades ago, some talc products also contained asbestos, a known carcinogen. Today, products sold in the US and in many other parts of the world are not allowed to include asbestos as an ingredient and are tested to determine if asbestos is a contaminant.  Since the 1960’s, there have been concerns that asbestos-contaminated talcum powder may be associated with cancer, particularly ovarian cancer in women who used talc around the genital area. Recently, a study was conducted by the FDA to survey “currently marketed cosmetic-grade raw material talc, as well as some cosmetic products containing talc” for contamination with asbestos. The study ran for a year, and the results found no talc products contaminated with asbestos. The FDA, however, was only able to test four separate talc suppliers, and a larger number of personal care products. The results were considered informative but not definitive.

A recent study looked at the effectiveness of garlic in 146 people over a three month period. Those that took a garlic supplement had 24 occurrences of cold symptoms, as opposed to 65 occurrences in those that did not take garlic. Also, those that took garlic had 1 day less of cold symptoms.  In another study, those that took garlic had fewer symptoms of a cold and felt better sooner, possibly because a subset of immune cells were increased in those people taking 2.56 g of a garlic supplement daily.  Most researchers believe that sulfur-containing compounds in garlic, allicins, are responsible for the anti-common cold effects. However, there are a number of other elements in garlic, such as saponins and amino acid derivatives, that are thought to play a role in reducing the viral load, though it is not clear how they might do this. Many may be concerned about the smell of garlic. The same substances that appear to be effective against the cold virus are the ones that are also responsible for the smell. So, in order to help alleviate your cold symptoms, you are going to have to deal with the smell. The good news is that you should be staying home from work and school and staying away from other people. You should also be resting and drinking plenty of fluids. All this means is that while the garlic may smell, for the most part, only you and your loved ones will be around. This seems like a small price to pay for getting better sooner with fewer symptoms! Always start with fresh garlic if possible. Peel the “paper” off the garlic and use a garlic press or the side of a knife blade to crush the garlic. Eat about 1 raw garlic clove every 3-4 hours. Just peel and eat!  If you are not a fan of the taste, wash the garlic down by mixing it with orange juice. You can also add it to lemon water. Add the garlic to a mixture of 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 6-8 ounces of water and stir.  Raw garlic can also be added to honey water. Honey has both antibiotic and antiviral properties.

A recent study revealed that people who read novels regularly are able to empathize more easily, and have an easier time paying attention for longer. Head to your local library and pick up some books you're interested in. Read everything. You don't have to read heavy classic novels to get the most out of this. Read Westerns or Romance novels. Read the newspaper. Read magazines you like. Read it all. A recent study revealed that taking regular quick breaks, less than five minutes every hour, is better than taking a single long break in the middle of a difficult task. So, let yourself stop doing what you're doing at least once an hour. Get up, walk around, and turn your mind off for a minute. It's usually easier to remember to take one big break, usually for eating, but set a timer to go off every 50 minutes or so, to remind yourself to give yourself a break and do nothing. You need that time. A Pew Study recently linked the increased availability of high-speed Internet services with a diminished attention capacity in American teenagers. If you're feeling tempted to slap a TLDR on every Facebook post longer than a couple of lines, maybe it's time to give it a break for a while.  You can also use Internet blockers to help you out if you find the lure of messing around too strong when you're trying to work on your computer. Delete unnecessary apps from your phone.

A reflexologist named William H. Fitzgerald first divided the body into 10 zones, 5 on each side. These zones extend from fingertips to toes, and front to back, so that all areas of the body are included. Each zone has a corresponding area on a person's hands or feet.  Reflexology allows specific relationship between the internal organ and the application of pressure on the hand. A hand reflexology chart reveals the connection between the area of the hand and the inner organs of the body. There may be a good deal of variation between hand reflexology charts, compared to the more consistent reflexology charts of the foot. The body's division into 12 meridians is an ancient Chinese practice which closely parallel's Fitzgerald's division of the body into zones. In this system of understanding, the body's energy (or chi) runs through these meridians and nourishes the body and spirit. If the pathways become clogged or weakened, health issues will result.  Reading a hand reflexology chart can help you understand the relationship between the area on the hand and the affected body area. Applying pressure to the reflex areas may help relieve stress and tension, help balance the body and allow all organs work together. There are two types of reflex arcs in the human body: somatic reflex arcs, which affect the muscles, and automatic reflex arcs, which affect the inner organs. Hand reflexology is based in the automatic reflex arc. The automatic reflex arc allows the body to respond to conditions without utilizing the brain. Instead, it is a function of the central nervous system.  One way to understand the automatic reflex arc is to imagine the body's response to touching a hot stove. If your hand touches a hot stove, it moves away more quickly than your brain can process the pain. Your hand reacts via automatic reflex.  Hand reflexology functions on this reflex principle, addressing problems of the inner organs. Massage addresses physically challenges directly. That is, when the body is injured, massage may be applied...

A regulation-sized bocce ball court measures 13 ft by 91 ft (4 m by 28 m). However, unless you are planning to build a regulation-size bocce ball court, you can build the court any size you would like. As a broad rule of thumb, the court’s ratio of width to length should be between 1:5 and 1:7. Build a court that will suit the dimensions of your backyard (or wherever you decide to build the court). If you are working with limited space, you could build a bocce court in as little space as 5 ft by 20 ft (1.5 m by 6 m). Using a measuring tape, measure out the full length and width of your bocce court on the ground where you plan to build it. Keep in mind that you’ll need to add the dimensions for the backing material (e.g. the court frame) into your total width and length measurements. So, if you’re using 4x4 boards as your frame, you’ll need to add 8 inches (20 cm) to the length and width measurements. For example, if you’re building a regulation-sized bocce court, you’ll need to measure the outer dimensions of the court to be 13 ft 8 inches by 91 ft 8 inches (4.2 m by 28 m). Once you’ve measured out the length and width of the court, use a hammer to drive a stake into the ground at each corner. These will serve as markers to indicate the size of the court, and indicate the area you’ll excavate. You can purchase a handful of wooden or plastic stakes at your local hardware store. They should be relatively inexpensive, and do not need to be made of a high-quality material.

A relation is a set of ordered pairs with of x and y coordinates. You can look at a relation and determine its domain and range. Let's say you're working with the following relation: {(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}. To find the range of the relation, simply write down all of the y-coordinates of each ordered pair: {-3, 6, -1, 6, 3}. You'll notice that you have listed "6" two times. Take it out so that you are left with {-3, -1, 6, 3}. Now, reorder the numbers in the set so that you're moving from the smallest to the largest, and you have your range. The range of the relation {(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)} is {-3,-1, 3, 6}. You're all done. For a relation to be a function, every time you put in one number of an x coordinate, the y coordinate has to be the same. For example, the relation {(2, 3) (2, 4) (6, 9)} is not a function, because when you put in 2 as an x the first time, you got a 3, but the second time you put in a 2, you got a four. For a relation to be a function, if you put in the same input, you should always get the same output. If you put in a -7, you should get the same y coordinate (whatever it may be) every single time.

A resumé tape is a reel that shows a sample of your reporting/anchoring skills. It usually starts with a slate – a brief showing of your name and contact information. The slate is usually followed by a montage, which is a short segment of compelling live shots, samples of reporting and anchoring. The montage is then followed by three of your best stories. The best way to get your first resumé tape is to do one in school; otherwise it can be quite expensive. When you apply for work, you'll need to send both your resumé tape and an actual resumé. The resume will include any relevant experience and education, such as any volunteer or part-time work you've done in the field. You'll also list any major news stories you've covered as well as your roles in presenting them. You can also include your technical experience and proficiency with digital communication devices or systems, since most stations are tech savvy. Don't just apply to the stations that are hiring. Send your tape and resumé absolutely everywhere that you can send it without being a nuisance. You never know when an opening will appear, and having your tape on the right person's desk at the right time can increase your chances of getting that job. You won't find your first job three blocks from your house. Jobs are so competitive that you can’t be choosy when landing your first job. Sure, you may want to hold out for San Diego, California but if Biloxi, Mississippi offers you your first job, you should probably say yes. Send your tape and apply everywhere you can, and be prepared to step out of your comfort zone. Remember that the more experience you have, the more command you'll have over where you can live and work. You may not have much control over your first job or two, but once you build up a reputation, you'll have more success in applying for work at stations in more coveted locations. Everyone has visions of taking over the NBC Nightly News anchor desk, but the truth of the matter is a tiny portion of people who get into the TV news business...

A role model that you know can help you to mature and grow as a person. They can give guidance and advice and offer real-world examples of how to achieve your best. These are the things you do not like or want to change about yourself and are important in determining how you wish to change. Do you want to live in a certain way? Achieve something in particular? Become a certain kind of person? Make a list of the things you want to achieve, both as a person and in your life. As you start to consider how you can choose a role model, try to develop faith in yourself as a person. The goal of choosing a role model is to motivate you to become a better person. You must have confidence in yourself and your abilities to become whoever you wish to be. If you want to be an inspirational person, think about the people who inspire you. Do a little brainstorming. Why do you admire them so much? What is the message they send through their actions? Great role models may exist all around you. These people may have a more profound impact on you and might even be able to mentor you, making them great potential choices as your role model. A good role model would be someone who knows who they are. You don't want someone who seems perfect but doesn't have a sense of purpose. You want someone who won't pretend to be someone they are not. Your role model should be someone who thinks it is all right to be unique, even if that means accepting some ridicule. They should always make you feel positive and good about being yourself. The purpose of having a role model is to encourage and inspire you to improve yourself. If your choice of role model does not make you feel this way then it is best to choose another. This person should be kind and can communicate well with people. People are easy to understand and emulate when they communicate well. It is better to choose a role model who exhibits reliable competence and who has gained their position through dedication and hard work. Often the flashy people who have succeeded spectacularly...

A round of carrom ends when one player pockets all of his or her pieces, and the queen has been pocketed. You play rounds until one player has reached 29 points. The first player to hit 29 points wins.  Remember, you and your opponent take turns shooting your striker. You can only shoot your striker from within your rectangular boundary. In the event you pocket a piece, you get to continue to play. You can shoot your striker again, and can continue to shoot your striker until you fail to pocket a piece. The queen, or red piece, has to be pocketed by the end of a round. A player must both pocket and "cover" the queen. Covering the queen simply means one player has pocketed the queen following the rules of the game. Under certain circumstances, you can pocket the queen but not "cover" it, and the queen will be returned to the board.  You cannot pocket the queen until you've pocketed at least one piece in your color. In the event you pocket the queen before pocketing any pieces, you have not covered the queen. The queen will be returned to the center of the board. If you pocket the queen after pocketing one of your own pieces, you have successfully covered the queen. The queen will not be returned to the board and you may receive points for the queen at the conclusion of the round. There are fouls in the game of carrom. In the event you or your opponent commits a foul, you are penalized by having one of the pieces in your color returned to the board. The following situations can result in a foul:  If you accidentally pocket a striker, this is a foul. You will also receive a foul if you knock your striker or another piece off the board. If you pocket an opponent's piece, this is a foul. In addition to having one of your pieces returned to the board, pocketing an opponent's piece comes with an additional penalty. If you pocketed and covered the queen earlier in the game, the queen is also returned to the board. If you pocket your final piece before the queen has been pocketed, both the piece you pocketed and the...

A safe location should be away from traffic and stores entrances, in a spot that allows for extended or overnight parking. Some locations have strict rules in place and prohibit overnight parking, so you may become towed or fined if you park in these locations.  Whether or not sleeping in your car will get you a ticket is totally dependent on where you are. Check local and state regulations whenever traveling. Never sleep on the side of the road or highway. Park at a designated rest stop, or 24-hour parking lot. Many interstates and highways have overnight rest stops you can park at and sleep in overnight while on road trips. This is really the best option to avoid interruption either by the public or by law enforcement. Find a 24-hour store. Walmart is the big name in this category. Some locations have explicit rules against over-nighters, however, so check online or in the store before you shut eyes for the night. Park somewhere reasonably well-lit. Though it might seem counter-intuitive to trying to sleep, it's best for your safety to park in a lot with plenty of light. Leave the keys out of the ignition. There is the possibility of breaking the law if you fall asleep with your keys in the ignition; you may be considered "in operation" of your car while asleep. Keep your doors locked and your keys in your pocket. If you're traveling in very cold temperatures, you may need to wake up periodically to run the car for warmth. Be sure to stay awake while the car is running. By allowing air to enter or circulate throughout the inside of the car, you will sleep more comfortably and avoid waking up feeling hot and sticky, or with condensation on the windows.  If you end up somewhere relatively populated or crowded, this might not be the best idea. The noise level might be too much to bear with cracked windows. You'd also like to avoid anyone looking in on you. This is also not necessary or even advisable if you're traveling in very cold temperatures. Luckily when the car isn't in motion you'll have a variety of...

A safety plan is a set of specific steps that you can act on any time you’re feeling suicidal. A primary step in your suicide safety plan should be to call your doctor or counselor. Also make a list of friends and family members who you can call when you’re having suicidal thoughts.  Avoid spending time alone if you’re having suicidal thoughts. No matter the time of day or night, if you’re thinking of ending your own life, spend time around others until the suicidal thoughts subside.  Be sure to confirm beforehand with your friends and family members that they’re willing to be called when you’re suicidal. If you have recurring thoughts of suicide, especially if they’re accompanied by depression, bipolar disorder, or any other mental-health disorder, it’s important to see a mental-health professional. A therapist will be able to suggest alternate thought processes and mental habits that can help you think of suicide less, and can also prescribe medication as needed.  Keep in mind that therapy is not a “quick fix” for suicidal thoughts. It can take months or years to fully work through these thoughts and to stop thinking about suicide. Suicidal thoughts can also be the result of another condition or a medication you are taking, so be sure to give your therapist or psychiatrist a thorough overview of your situation. A mental-health support system is an invaluable resource in processing suicidal thoughts and avoiding suicidal behaviors. Your support system should comprise various individuals in whom you can confide your thoughts and feelings, and who can be “on-call” should you have strong suicidal feelings at any point in time. A support system can include:  Parents and family members. Your therapist or counselor. Members of your church or other religious organization. A support group for people dealing with suicidal thoughts. Abusing drugs (illicit or prescription), alcohol, and/or other substances as a way to feel better and control your pain is called self-medicating. If you find that you are becoming...

A savings account gives you access to your money at any time with very low risk. This option, however, offers a low interest rate on your investment. A certificate of deposit (CD) offers a slightly better return, but with less flexibility. You must leave the money with the bank for a period of time ranging from months to years.  These investments have several benefits. They are easy to set up, and they're typically insured for up to $250,000 by the FDIC, meaning they're very safe.   The downside is that these investments pay very little interest. Without much interest, you don’t generate as much compounded interest. As a result, CDs and savings accounts are suitable only for holding small amounts of money for very short periods of time. They may improve as savings vehicles in times of high interest rates. Smaller banks and credit unions will sometimes offer higher interest rates in order to attract customers away from larger institutions. When you buy bonds, you are loaning money to a government or municipality. You can also invest in bonds issued by corporations.   Bonds pay a fixed rate of interest on your investment each year. You can reinvest your interest in more bonds and allow compounding to work for you. Payment of your original investment (principal) and your interest is based on the credit rating of the issuer. Government bonds and municipal bonds are often guaranteed by tax dollars that the issuer collects, so risk is low. A corporate bond’s payments are based on the creditworthiness of the corporation. A company that generates consistent earnings will have a better credit rating.  You can buy bonds through your bank, or using a financial advisor.    There is a downside to bonds investing. When interest rates are low, returns can be small. Even in times of higher rates, bonds usually offer lower returns than stocks. Bonds, however, are normally considered less risky than stocks.  The average return on bonds since 1928 (including compounding) is 6.7% per year, compared to 10% for stocks. When you...

A secret society must have something to protect. Get any number of your friends to read these books.  Privately talk with one of your closest friends whom you know will love the idea of starting a secret society. You and your closest friend should discuss what your secret society should be called. Also discuss who you will induct.  Remember, even if you have a large group of really good friends, not all of them are secret society material.  They won't find out, as it is a secret society. This should be done before you initiate others.  That way, you are sure to come up with a good idea.  The initiation is one of the most important parts of the society. It has to be something neither of you would do normally. Candle-lighting sets a serious and official tone, which is always good.  Secret names are fun to have. There has to be rules. Set a schedule for fun things you can do, i.e. dressing alike on certain days, or having monthly rituals. Have fun with it.  It's all about your creativity.  Newsletters are common. It might be fun to post mysterious messages in some part of your school. Everyone sees it, but very few know what it means. Subtly drop something related to your secret in a conversation with a friend to figure out how they feel about it. Make sure there's no possibility they ever betray you, make sure they will be okay with the rules. Don't mention your secret society until you are absolutely sure they can be completely trusted. If they betray you, your secret society is not so secret anymore! Invite your friends to a sleepover and then spring it on them.  They will be surprised and excited, and thrilled because they are special. You could even figure out a time to chat online. Most small secret societies use robes while large ones, like the Freemasons, have complex aprons. Your friends and you will be even closer than ever. In a school, initiate the most brilliant and enthusiastic students that seem like clique-material, and they will motivate and inspire others. But you don't want to have too many...

A seizure is the symptoms or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in your brain. Seizures can range from mild, involving only staring spells, to severe and don't necessarily involve convulsions (body shaking), tonic-clonic seizures. Common signs of a seizure include: black outs, drooling or frothing, rapid eye movements, grunting, loss of bladder / bowel control, sudden mood changes, collapsing, teeth clenching, muscles spasms and jerking limbs.  Symptoms of a seizure may stop after a few seconds or minutes, or sometimes go on for up to about 15 minutes. You may get warning signs before having a seizure, such as tasting a bitter or metallic flavor, smelling the scent of burning rubber, seeing flashing lights or wavy lines, and feeling anxious or nauseous. Most seizures are not an indication of epilepsy, which is a neurological disorder characterized by disrupted nerve cell activity in the brain. Instead, seizures can be triggered by a wide variety of environmental factors, including food allergies and toxic reactions to numerous food additives (as noted above).  Finding the trigger can be very difficult, but necessary if you don't want your child or yourself to be on powerful anti-seizure medication for many years. Seizures are common in childhood, but usually fade away during adolescence. Infections, high fevers, head injuries, and negative reactions to medication are common causes of childhood seizures. Usually, in children it depends on how high and how fast the fever develops.  The higher the fever forms and the faster the temperature rises, the more at risk the child is to have a fever associated seizure.  You do not need to be put on seizure medication after one episode of a seizure. Severe migraine headaches commonly mimic mild seizures. Sometimes, no cause can be found for seizures, in which case they are called idiopathic (of unknown origin) seizures. Make an appointment with your doctor immediately if you or a family member shows any sign of having a...

A set consists of 144 tiles. You can find these sets online at a variety of price points, so don't worry, you won't need to shell out a lot of money if you don't want to! You should also be able to find them at gaming stores.  Keep in mind that different versions of the game have a different number of tiles. Some only have 136, for instance. Some sets are very expensive because they are hand carved! The game uses 3 suits for the main part of gameplay, which are dot/circles, Chinese characters, and bamboo. These function much like suits in a deck of cards. Each suit has 4 identical sets of 9 tiles. There are 108 of these tiles in total. The suits tiles will have numbers, 1-9, and like playing cards, each tile will have a corresponding amount of the respective symbol, except for the character suit, which has the Chinese character for the number. The number 1 tile for bamboo is a bird, typically an owl or a peacock. Honor tiles are special tiles. Honor tiles show red and green dragons or the 4 winds. You can use these almost like suit tiles in that you can match them to make "melds," 3-of-a-kind or 4-of-a-kind.  You'll have 16 wind tiles, 4 each of east, south, west, and north, which you play in that order: remember "eat soy with noodles." They typically have the first letter of the word in the upper left-hand corner. The dragons are usually represented by Chinese characters, but they'll also have a "C," "F," or "P/B" on them instead of the numbers 1-9 like the suit tiles. You get 4 sets of the same 3 tiles. Bonus tiles show seasons and flowers. Typically, you include these tiles in Chinese and Korean versions of Mahjong, but not always in American or Japanese versions. You can't use these to make melds, but they can give you extra points in your hand at the end. The pictures on these tiles vary by set. A set might have plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo flowers, 1 of each. Then, it will have 1 tile for each season. You might also have 4 blank tiles, which can be used as jokers.

A severe injury may require surgical reattachment, and should be brought to a doctor's attention as soon as possible. If any of the following symptoms match your condition, your hamstring muscle may be completely torn, or pulled off the bone:  A popping sound of feeling at the time of injury. An injury very close to the buttock or knee. A large amount of bruising. Difficulty walking. Severe pain or weakness in injured leg. See Warnings, below, for symptoms that require medical attention at any point in the healing process. If the location of the injury is not obvious, gently press along the length and circumference of your thigh to locate it. Stretching injuries tend to involve the upper thigh, while sprinting is more likely to tear muscle near the knee. If there is no obvious injury site and there was no impact or fall that may have caused your hamstring to pull, the pain could be due to pelvis or back problems instead. Contact a doctor if you think this might be the case. Get off your feet as soon as you can after injury, even if you only feel mild twinges. Some pulled hamstrings, especially those in the upper thigh, involve damage to a tendon. These feel less painful than muscle injuries, but take longer to heal and still require rest. Walk as little as possible for the first few days, and avoid all running and leg exercises. If walking involves any pain at all, shorten your stride to a non-painful distance. If even a short stride causes pain, use a pair of crutches and visit a doctor. Use a cold pack, or wrap ice in a wet towel, and place it on the injury site. Leave this on for 10 to 15 minutes, then take it off. Repeat this once an hour during the day you pulled your hamstring. Continue icing once every two or three hours for the next couple days after that.  To avoid damage, do not apply ice directly to skin, and do not leave it on for more than 15 minutes. Do not use this treatment if you have Raynaud's phenomenon or other blood circulation issues. Wrap an elastic compression bandage or athletic tape...

A sheet metal screw will work, too. It also helps to grab a hammer and a screwdriver.   For this method you need a screw that’s long and sturdy enough to act as a corkscrew. If you have a corkscrew, this will be your best bet as it’s designed to pull the cork out of the bottle. However, it’s assumed here that you don’t have one. You will need to gently, but firmly insert the screw into the broken cork by twisting it down.   If you have a screwdriver it could be useful here for inserting the screw without pushing the cork further down. If you notice the cork is being pushed down, stop. Try creating a small hole with the point of a knife for the screw to go into. Insert the screw until it is far enough into the cork so that it won’t pop out. But you also need to leave enough room for the claws of the hammer to grab the screw. Try not to drive the screw through the cork if you can. Doing so can make it harder to pull the cork out of the bottle. Once you have the screw, at least, 0.4 inches (10 mm) or so into the cork, begin pulling up the screw. Instead of pulling straight up, the hammer should work like a fulcrum. Like you would with certain corkscrews, you want to apply a downward force on the handle of the hammer to lift the screw and cork up. Push down on the hammer’s handle to act as a lever to pull the screw upward taking the cork with it.  If using the hammer as a fulcrum doesn’t work and it looks like the cork is going to break, then try pulling straight up. You may also have to use your fingers and grab the head of the screw and pull up with force. Take your time and move slowly. The cork will be weakened from breaking.

A shower is already a part of many morning routines, and for good reason. It ensures you're relatively clean and refreshed before getting on with your day. Although your hair is arguably the top priority, you shouldn't forget the rest of your body while you're at it. It should take you a few minutes at least to get all the areas of your body. Scrub your body thoroughly with a bar of soap. Many women aim to look fresher by removing body hair. Some men choose to limit body hair as well, particularly on the back, the armpits and the pubic area. Shaving body hair should be done at the end of your shower, when the hair follicles will open up more easily. Waxing is a more effective way of getting rid of hair, but some consider it too painful to do on a regular basis.  Alternatively, you can purchase an epilator. An epilator is a machine that removes individual hairs one by one. They are less painful than a waxing strip, but unfortunately take much longer to get rid of all the hair. Laser hair removal surgeries are available. They are far more expensive than the moderate solutions, but you won't have to deal with having to shave excess hair again. Treat razor burn as quickly as you can. Close shaving can cause ingrown hairs and scarring if it's not taken care of. To fix this, scrub the area with a body exfoliator and apply a warm compress to the affected patch of skin. Deodorant may have little to do with one's appearance, but anyone who smells a bad musk coming off you will have a hard time thinking of you as hygienic in the first place. Deodorant is relatively inexpensive and easy to apply once you're out of a shower and your morning routine is all but complete. If you're prone to bad sweating, buying an antiperspirant will keep blotches of sweat from appearing in the armpits of your shirt. A mild perfume or cologne can be a nice touch if you think the situation you're preparing for warrants it. Water has a rejuvenating effect on virtually every part of your body.

A significant number of people wear shoes that don't fit well, perhaps because the shoes were on sale or they're hand-me-downs, or various other reasons. Regardless, always wear shoes that properly fit your feet, not just in terms of length, but also in terms of width. Wearing shoes that don't fit not only cause blisters, bunions and calluses, but they can reduce the stability and compromise the biomechanics of your feet and subsequently trigger back pain and other joint issues.  Get fitted for shoes later in the day because that's when your feet are a little larger, usually due to swelling and slight compression of your arches. Most off-the-shelf shoes are regular (medium) width, so you may have to order shoes from the manufacturer if your feet are really narrow or wide. Some footwear may fit well, such as flip-flops, but they can still cause foot and other musculoskeletal problems due to the lack of arch and heel support. Regardless if you have flat feet or not, wearing shoes with strong arch support is going to benefit your feet and improve your gait during walking / running at the very least. Wearing more supportive shoes may also significantly reduce your back pain or relieve the symptoms entirely, depending on its cause. As such, when buying new shoes, look for a comfortable walking or athletic shoe with substantial arch support, roomy toe box, firm heel counter and a flexible sole. Buy quality and avoid trendy styles that look flimsy.  Wearing flat sandals, flip flops and other slip-ons on the beach or around the pool is likely okay, but they shouldn't be used for extensive walking or any kind of exercise.  Avoid shoes with heels higher than two inches because it changes the center of gravity and causes strain on the lower back. However, wearing completely level shoes may put too much pressure on your heels, so consider buying shoes that are elevated in the heel by about 1/4 or 1/2 inch. If you are a regular jogger and think that your feet, shoes or running style may be causing your back pain, then get...

A simple linear equation might look like 7x−10=3x−6{\displaystyle 7x-10=3x-6}. Varying terms are numbers like 7x{\displaystyle 7x}, 3x{\displaystyle 3x}, 6y{\displaystyle 6y} or 10z{\displaystyle 10z}, where the number changes depending on what you plug into the variable, or letter. Constant terms are numbers like 10{\displaystyle 10}, 6{\displaystyle 6} or 30{\displaystyle 30}, where the number never changes. Usually, equations won't come with varying terms and constant terms lined up on separate sides. In the example above, the left-hand side (LHS) has both varying and constant terms, as does the right-hand side (RHS). In order to do this, you may have to subtract or add the numbers you want to move from both sides. In the next step, you'll see how to do that in example 1. The equation 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10} does have all the varying terms on one side (LHS), while all the constant terms are on the other side (RHS). It doesn't matter to which side you move the varying terms. In example 1, 7x−10=3x−6{\displaystyle 7x-10=3x-6} can be rearranged by choosing to subtract either 7x{\displaystyle 7x} or 3x{\displaystyle 3x} from both sides. Choosing to subtract 7x{\displaystyle 7x}, you have:(7x−7x)−10=(3x−7x)−6−10=−4x−6{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}(7x-7x)-10&=(3x-7x)-6\\-10&=-4x-6\end{aligned}}} That is: move the constant terms so that they are on the opposite side of the equation from where the varying terms are. We see that −6{\displaystyle -6} must be subtracted from both sides:−10−(−6)=−4x−6−(−6)−4=−4x{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}-10-(-6)&=-4x-6-(-6)\\-4&=-4x\end{aligned}}}

Grip the spokes and make sure they don't bend or feel loose. Spin them and make sure they don't rub against the brakes.  Chain: Rub it with your finger -- a small amount of oil should come off. If not, you should clean and lube your chain.   Brakes: Spin a wheel, then pull the brakes, making sure they stop the wheel instantly. In a perfect world, your feet will be moving at the exact same speed the entire ride, making the same number of revolutions per minute (RPMs) for the entire ride. While this isn't practical, nor advisable in a race, the general principle is the same -- you want to shift so that your feet keep moving freely, not speeding up and slowing down constantly. You'll save energy and keep a more consistent, even pace this way, which is essential over long rides.  You want to aim for 80-90 RPM, meaning your foot makes one and a half full rotations every second. You want to shift before a hill gets difficult, shifting slowly so that your feet can keep moving at the same pace. Learning to descend a hill safely, but quickly, is essential to conserve momentum and shave minutes off of your time. Keep your body loose and relaxed to react quickly to turns or potholes. Grab the drop bars to decrease air resistance. If there are no turns coming, avoid braking -- you'll just lose speed you have to pedal to get back. If there is a turn:  Brake to your comfortable speed before the turn comes -- you don't want to be slowing down as you hit it. Shift into a middle gear -- easy enough to pedal quickly but hard enough that you get some speed on the way out of the turn. Put some weight on the outside pedal (it should be down) and lean your body slightly into the turn. If you're nervous,...

A simple online search will net tons of results for large companies that will deliver flowers anywhere in the nation. Popular services include 1-800-Flowers, Teleflora, ProFlowers, and FTD. View each company’s website to compare photos of arrangements, prices, and customer satisfaction reviews to determine which service you’d like to use. Using a wire delivery service gives you the option of choosing the arrangement you want to send from a multitude of online photos. This can be helpful if you aren’t sure what kind of flowers to choose, as you’ll get to compare many bouquets and arrangements to each other. Keep in mind that in many cases the actual arrangement looks much different from the photo on the website. To avoid issues like this, your best bet is to use a local florist shop, instead. Online flower shops have a plethora of gifts and extras you can add to your order. You can choose to include a simple note or small balloon, or add larger gifts like a teddy bear, gourmet chocolates, or even a fruit basket. Once you’ve chosen the arrangement you want from the website, simply click on it to add it to your cart. Provide the recipient’s name and address in addition to the requested delivery date. Some sites may require you to register for an account and provide your own personal information. Use a credit or debit card to pay for the order. If you’d prefer, you can call some companies, like 1-800-Flowers, to place your order over the phone. Reach out to the recipient to ensure they received the flowers. Don’t be afraid to ask them about the quality of the arrangement—it’s a good idea to have them send you a picture so you can compare it to the photo of the arrangement you ordered. If the flowers aren’t up to par, contact the online shop and ask them to resolve the issue. In many cases, like if the stems are broken or the blooms are crushed, the shop will send another arrangement free of charge.

A simple trap that many bloggers fall into is overloading their writing with keywords. This will lead to fake-sounding content and will actually provide little in the way of extra traffic. This is because as soon as a reader clicks your link and sees a jumbled mess of keywords, they'll most likely leave immediately. This tool will show you what search words are driving people to your site, as well as popular searches on the web. You can also see how long users stay on your page, which is an essential tool for determining how worthy they find your content. Use Analytics to see what your readers are searching for on the web. Use these results to tailor articles specifically towards your readers' interests. Instead of placing keywords all over your article, focus them in the places where they matter most.  Make sure that your Title tag has relevant keywords, as this is the part of your blog that is given the most weight in search engine results. Write a powerful title. The title of your blog post is the second-most important aspect of your blog when determining search engine placement. Anything in the "H1" heading is given more weight in search engine results. Optimize your content, but don't overdo it. Good content will be much more valuable than a collection of keywords. Make sure that your post is well thought out and informative first, and then optimize it for the keywords that suit your content best.

A simple way to seem enthusiastic is to ask questions. It shows you're interested and engaged in the moment. And then what happens when you ask questions? People respond and they might say something that actually sparks your interest, if it didn't before. So make the first step! Ask questions, get the ball rolling, and see how it grows from there. It's easy to write off a topic/thing/person as uninteresting, judging a book by its cover, if you will. Resist! If you're tempted, make it a point to pry a bit further. You may find that lifting the veil sparks your curiosity. And that curiosity may lead you to finding something worth being enthusiastic about! . One of the simplest ways to get happy is to start laughing. Start laughing and being happy and enthusiasm will follow. It can naturally put you in a better mood and get the creativity and positivity flowing. After a certain amount of time in an environment, the novelty of it all goes away. You quit noticing what once stopped you dead in your tracks with its beauty. You stop asking questions and wondering. You stop feeling awestruck. When that happens, enthusiasm escapes like grains of sand through your fingers. All of a sudden life is drab and unremarkable. Don't let that happen. Simple things like the beauty of a sunset can bring enthusiasm back. The architecture of your favorite local building. Heck, a group of children building snowmen. When you stop and smell the roses, you just might stop and find what'll keep you going -- what can be downright inspiring. A simple way to start getting awestruck again is to try to new  things. Life can get boring doing the same ol', same ol' -- so mix it up! It's impossible to maintain enthusiasm about something you've been doing year in and year out. And it's ridiculous to expect yourself to be enthusiastic if you don't have an exciting routine! Even the smallest of change-ups can do wonders. Have you been running 3 miles (4.8 km) a day for the past six months? Find a new trail! Start cooking at home. Pick up a hobby....

A simple, yet elegant way to decorate your home for the Easter holiday is with flowers and plants. Try placing one or more vases of seasonal flowers on tables around your home. You can also create a centerpiece of your favorite seasonal plants and flowers for the dining table.  Try decorating with fresh tulips, which are usually blooming around Easter. If your rose bushes are blooming around Easter, use them to decorate your table. Easter eggs can signify spring and new beginnings, and are perfect for holiday decoration. While you can dye eggs and place them in baskets or bowls around your home, they will spoil quickly if not refrigerated. Instead, use plastic or wooden eggs as decorations. Try placing a basket of Easter eggs on your kitchen counter or in your entryway. Animal figurines are a great way to add some Easter flair to your home’s interior. Try placing one on a table in the entryway of your home. You can also place a larger figurine near your door. It’s fun to send and receive greeting cards during the Easter season. Instead of throwing them away or recycling them, try hanging several Easter cards on your refrigerator. They can help up the ante on your home’s Easter vibe. You can also add some Easter-themed flair to your home with Easter bunnies. Try placing a plush pastel Easter bunny on the couch. You could also place a plastic Easter bunny on the back of the toilet, or on a chair in a kitchen corner. A great way to maximize the return on your chocolate bunnies is to use them as decorations in the days or weeks before Easter. Try placing several wrapped chocolate bunnies in a basket. Then place the basket on the kitchen counter, and entryway table, or a side table in the living room.  You can also arrange unwrapped chocolate bunnies on a cake stand. Do not decorate with chocolate bunnies if you have small children or pets. A wonderful way to decorate for Easter is by setting a festive table. Try using brightly colored dishes and a simple centerpiece of seasonal flowers. You can also use white...

A sincere “I’m sorry” is the first thing you need to say to your parents once you are calm and understand why you got grounded. Apologizing shows that you know you did something wrong and are ready to start earning back your parents’ trust and get your freedom back.  Don’t just say you’re sorry because that’s what your parents want to hear. Make sure you offer a sincere apology and admit that you know you did something wrong. Say something like, “I know what I did was wrong and I’m sorry. I want to learn from my mistake and improve my behavior. I’m really sorry and I hope you can forgive me.” Ask your parents to sit down and talk honestly about what happened. Tell them you are committed to changing your attitude and behavior and ask them what you can do to fix the situation and earn their trust back. For example, you can say something like, “Can we sit down and talk about what happened and why I got grounded? I know I was wrong and I want to work on changing my behavior so it doesn’t happen again in the future.” Your bad behavior or mistakes are sometimes the result of a bigger issue, which doesn’t make it ok, but there are 2 sides to every story. It’s important that your parents know what is going on in your life so that they can help you resolve any issues.  For example, if you are getting bad grades because you don’t get along with a teacher or you are finding a particular subject difficult, you need to tell your parents so that you can figure out how to get through the situation or get the help you need. If you acted out in anger because somebody was bullying you, then this is another thing your parents need to know so you can prevent the situation from getting worse. Start by saying, “I need to tell you about a problem I’ve been having.” Talk with your parents about specific actions you can take to change what got you grounded in the first place and get ungrounded. Try to make it a two-sided conversation to come up with a compromise that works for both you and your parents.  For example, if you got...

A solid yoga practice includes setting an intention. By taking a few seconds to dedicate your practice to something or someone, you may have a more fulfilling practice. Throughout your practice, bring your mind back to your intention. Notice how your intention relates to your practice. Use your intention as a focal point and place of inquiry.  Lightly touch the bases of your palms, then the palms themselves, and finally your fingers to make prayer hands. You can leave a small space between your palms if you like to let energy flow. If you don’t know what your intention is, consider something as simple as “letting go.” After you feel comfortable with your yoga practice, try extending the duration of your practice by holding each pose a bit longer and flowing seamlessly between asanas. Add new and more challenging poses as you are able. Many yoga classes are between 60 and 90 minutes, so you could set your practice around that length. You may want to strengthen the intensity of your practice as you become comfortable with your routine. This can be done easily by holding each pose a little longer and by challenging yourself to sink deeper into challenging poses.  Poses that involve lunges or squats can be taken a bit lower. You can vary the speed of transitions between asanas to create more intensity. You can also integrate more difficult asanas from each of the four types of poses. For example, you may want to try tripod headstand (Sirsasana II) instead of regular headstand. One of the best ways to deepen your yoga practice is to increase the number of days you practice.  You can safely build up to 5-7 days per week.  If you make yoga a part of your daily routine, its positive effects can benefit your physical and mental health. Many people like to begin and their practice with a chanting mantra or meditation session. A mantra is a Vedic hymn, word, or phrase repeated and used as a focal point for meditation. This can help dismiss distracting thoughts, focus on your breath and energy, and raise your awareness...

A sore muscle soak is more that just running a hot bath for yourself; it also involves ingredients that can help to nourish and revitalize your sore muscles. These ingredients include:  1 cup Epsom salt. This is also known as Magnesium Sulfate. Epsom salt is high in magnesium. Magnesium helps the body regulate over 325 enzymes and plays an important role in organizing many bodily functions like muscle control, electrical impulses, energy production and elimination of harmful toxins. ¼ cup Sea salt. Sea salt is alkaline, or basic, which means that  it helps to lower the acidity of the body. It also reduces lactic acid build up in your sore muscles. ¼ cup Baking soda. Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate. It provides a naturally alkaline substance with a reputation for helping to remove toxins from muscles. 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil. Eucalyptus essential oil is commonly used to stimulate mental activity and increase blood flow to the brain. 3 drops rosemary essential oil. Rosemary essential oil is known to stimulate blood circulation, which can relieve pain from sprains and joint aches. When running your bath, check the temperature of the water regularly to make sure that it is not too hot. Soaking in hot water that is too hot can irritate your skin or even cause burns. Pouring the mixture into the tub while it is still filling up with water will help to mix the ingredients into your bathwater. At the same time, the stream created by the hot water will not be scented with the essential oils, which can make even your pre-bath experience more relaxing and rejuvenating. Get into the tub and let your muscles be replenished by the water. Consider putting on some music or reading your book to make it even more of a luxurious experience. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes and then towel off. Think about taking a sore muscle bath three times a week, or more if you work out every day.

A sponsorship packet must always start out with an executive summary, or mission statement about the event or venture you hope to have sponsored. This should be around 250-300 words that describes in detail what a sponsorship will fund, why you seek sponsorships, and how being a sponsor will benefit them.  Your executive summary is your one chance to get the potential sponsor to continue reading, so don't write a cookie-cutter form letter. Write an individualized note to make the potential sponsor feel like you really took the time to learn about them and their company. This will also demonstrate to the potential sponsor that you will hold up your sponsorship promises throughout the partnership. Remember to thank the sponsor for considering your offer. Use a friendly and professional working tone in your letter, illustrating your level of seriousness and professionalism. If you haven't already, outline your budget among the business or venture, and decide what it is you hope to acquire from sponsors. Create different "levels" of sponsorship that potential sponsors may commit to and explain what you are asking for at each level and why you need sponsors for each level. Explain what’s in it for the sponsor. Entice the potential sponsors by using your knowledge of their business model, audience, and goals, explaining how their sponsorship will benefit them. You might include arguments about press coverage and other promotional opportunities. Your call to action can be a form they fill out and send to you or your contact information asking them to call you to set up the sponsorship. Make sure that the sponsor has a specific task to fulfill in order to move the process forward. Keep the ball in their court. The easier it is for them to complete the task you're requesting, the more likely it is that they'll say yes. You're writing to marketers, entrepreneurs, and business people, not academics.

A stainless steel trash can with a tight closing lid will work very well. You can look for other metal containers or boxes. This will serve as a first line of defense against electromagnetic radiation. Once you have chosen a trash can or another container, line the inside with a layer of plastic wrap. This protects your devices from touching the conductive surfaces of the trash can, and it also provides protection against flooding.  For added insulation, you can line the inside of the can with cardboard before the plastic layer goes in. You can add layers of foil and additional layers of plastic wrap inside to increase the effectiveness of the Faraday cage. More layers will make the cage more effective, even if the layers themselves are thin. Once you have lined your trash can, place your devices inside the can. The best practice is to cover each device individually in its own small Faraday cage (such as the simple aluminum foil Faraday cage). You can also purchase a Faraday bag and place the items in that bag. The trash can will serve as an extra layer of protection. Once the devices are inside, you can attach the lid with adhesives or bolt it on for a more sturdy cage. It is also wise to tie the cage down to a beam or bolt it to the wall using a metal strap to make your cage a permanent fixture.

A standard arc welder is undoubtedly the best way to weld galvanized steel. Arc welding is a versatile method that uses alternating currents to create a high-heat arc that melts your flux.  If you can, work outside when using an arc welder. There is occasionally splatter from the spread of the arc. If you are new to welding and only have room for one welder in your workshop, opt for an arc welder. It’s the easiest welder to use, and is what most people think about when they picture welding. You can use a welding rod of any size as long as it works with your welder. Keep in mind that a bigger rod is going to weld a larger area than a smaller rod. There are no unique, or galvanized steel-specific tools or materials that you need. Use a 6013, 7018, 6011, or 6010 welding rod. These are the most common rods to begin with, so they shouldn’t be hard to find. If you’re welding 2 pieces of steel together, start on one end of the seam where they meet. Turn your welder on by starting the power, then place the welding rod 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) away from the beginning of the seam and press the button or pull the trigger to release flux. There will be sparks coming out once you start welding. Don’t jump back to avoid them—do your best to keep the welding rod in place. You’ll be fine if you’re wearing the proper safety materials. Move your welding rod down the seam 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) at a time. Then, work your way back over the area that you just welded, slightly slower than your forward motion. Once you’ve covered a surface twice, move on to the next length of the seam. Repeat this process for the entire length of the gap to weld the 2 objects together. Wait for at least 15 minutes to let the welding flux settle before trying to test the bond or sand it down. To weld a tear or split in galvanized steel, start on any edge of the metal. Work slowly around the exterior edge on the metal itself, moving forward 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) before bringing your welding rod back over the surface you just covered. Repeat this...

A standard, classic martini is made from gin and vermouth and garnished with an olive.  If you do not specify a different concentration of either gin or vermouth, the martini will be prepared with one part dry vermouth and four to five parts gin. Gin is an alcoholic spirit made from distilled grain or malt. The spirit is also flavored with juniper berries. Vermouth is a liquor made with wine, also known as a fortified wine, that is flavored with an infusion of herbs, flowers, spices, and other botanical ingredients. Even though a classic martini is made with gin, a fairly recent trend is to opt for vodka, instead. You can specify this change at the start of your order, and it should be the first change you make if you decide to make it.  Vodka refers to an alcoholic spirit made from distilled rye, wheat, or potatoes. On occasion, it is also made from fermented fruits and sugar, but these types of vodka are not often used in martinis. Older bars will almost always use gin by default, but in some newer bars, the bartender might use vodka as as the default, instead. To be on the safe side, specify which one you want whenever you order a martini. By default, you will be given the cheapest brand of gin or vodka available at the bar. If you are particular about your liquor brands, you should specifically state the brand you want in your martini.  The cheapest, default brand is referred to as the "well." If you do not have a preferred brand and are not familiar with the brands that are out there, ask the bartender about the different brands available at the bar. You can either pick one at random if you want to maintain appearances and pretend to know what you're talking about, or ask the bartender for his or her recommendation. If you decide to specify the brand of alcohol, you only need to state the name of the brand and not the name of the alcohol. For example, you would order "Beefeater," not "Gin Beefeater" or "Beefeater Gin." Similarly, you would order "Vox," not "Vodka Vox" or "Vox Vodka." Among the various...

A stem cell transplant holds the potential to be a very effective form of treatment, and it can lead to cure from multiple myeloma for about 4% of people (in others, it improves the disease but not to the point of cure). The caveat to stem cell transplants is that, because they are higher risk procedures, there are certain eligibility criteria that must be met in order to receive this treatment. Stem cell transplants are usually autologous, meaning that they use your own cells in order to ensure an exact match. Sometimes another's cells can be used for the transplant, but this is much less common. Due to the higher risk of this treatment, it is up to your doctor's discretion whether he or she recommends to proceed with it. Factors where doctors would likely not recommend a stem cell transplant include:  Age greater than 77 years old Significant heart problems or heart disease Impaired kidney function Impaired liver function Overall poor health and day-to-day function, as assessed by your physician. You will be given a high dose of chemotherapy treatment prior to the transplant to eliminate as many of the cancer cells as possible from your bone marrow. This is another reason that good health is key in order to undergo this treatment; people with poor health may not be able to tolerate the intense chemotherapy that is required prior to the stem cell transplant. The goal of the chemotherapy is to remove the diseased cells from your bone marrow prior to transplanting healthy ones; if all of the diseased cells are unable to be removed, it puts you at risk of a relapse down the road.  If you are going to be cured of multiple myeloma, strong chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant is your best bet. Although it can be a challenging procedure to go through, it is likely to be the most effective. Radiation may also be given prior to a stem cell transplant as a further means to get rid of as many cancer cells as possible prior to the transplant.

A stillbirth or death during delivery can be emotionally devastating. Many parents find it cathartic to hold the baby in order to create memories and find a sense of closure.  Seeing the baby, holding him or her, and giving the child a name can be very helpful to parents whose child died during labor. Some parents like to take photographs to help them remember.  Some babies are born with a small amount of hair. Parents sometimes like to take a lock of their baby's hair as a keepsake. If this is something you are interested in, talk to your doctor. You may also want to take handprints, footprints, or keep any blankets or shawls the baby was wrapped in.  If you have other children, whether or not you allow them to see the baby is a personal decision. Many people feel they can better understand the situation by looking at the baby but others feel this would be traumatic. Whatever you decide to do, be honest with your children about what happened and allow them to express their feelings as well. Losing a newborn baby is an emotionally devastating experience. You will need a lot of emotional support.  Sharing the news of pregnancy loss can be a very difficult experience for many. Having one close family member or friend break the news to others for you can help.  Remember, your friends and family members have lost something as well. The baby was someone to them, too, whether niece or nephew, grandchild, godchild, etc. Those close to you might want to see pictures, handprints, footprints, and other memories you created of the baby.  It may be difficult for others to understand what you are going through and they may offer their support in ways that are not helpful. It is perfectly okay, if you hear a comment that upsets you, to respond with something like, "I appreciate that you're trying to help, but hearing that hurts right now." Losing a baby can lead to prolonged periods of bereavement. A qualified therapist can help you sort through your emotions in an effective way in order to cope with the loss.  Many...
