The amount of caffeine varies depending on the tea and brewing process, but it typically ranges from 15-70 milligrams in an 8 ounce cup. There are also decaffeinated teas available which typically contain 98 percent less caffeine than regular teas; an 8 ounce cup of decaffeinated tea usually has around 2 mg or less of caffeine. Herbal teas are typically caffeine free, and a great choice for drinking at night. Many tea brands will list the caffeine amount on their product or website. Some teas, like green tea, are quite bitter and hard for some people to drink plain. There are many things you can add to your tea to change the flavor and make it a little sweeter. Try adding some spices to change the flavor of your morning tea, or add a touch of something sweet to enhance the tea.  Use a cinnamon stick to stir your tea to add a spicy kick Milk or cream is a popular additive to tea. This quickly cools off the tea as well as adds a creamy feel to your cup. Dairy alternatives like almond, soy, or coconut milk work great too. Milk may curdle if added to teas such as Earl Grey that contain citrus oils. Lemon is a great addition to any type of black tea.

Teasing your pin-straight locks will transform your flat hair into bouncy locks.  Part your hair in the center or to the side. Use a comb to create two layers of hair on top of your head: a top layer and an underneath later. Secure the top layer with a duck clip. With a tailed comb, begin teasing the underneath layer 2 inches from your roots. After each downward stroke, fully remove the comb from your hair. Gradually increase your distance from the roots until you have created the amount of volume you desire. Unclip the top section and gently brush it over the teased underneath layer. Spray your teased tresses with hairspray to secure the look. Achieving the perfectly textured do is extra challenging when you have straight hair. Attempt to add texture to your pin-straight locks through one or more methods:  For a beachy look, curl the middle section of your hair only. To produce a wavy look, first plait your hair into one or more even braids. Slowly run your straightener down the length of each braid. Remove the elastic band, undo your plait, and observe your subtle waves. To achieve waves without the heat, braid your hair while damp and apply a sea salt spray. For a perfectly tousled look, spray your hair with dry shampoo and scrunch your locks. One of the benefits of straight hair is that it requires very little maintenance and effort to style. Leave your tools and products in the drawer or under the sink. Simply run a brush through your hair and wear it down for the day. Up-dos are appropriate for every occasion. Put your hair in a simple ponytail or a classic chignon. Tease your hair and pull it back into a half-ponytail. Experiment with different braids—try a fishtail braid, a crown braid, or a series of small side braids.

Technically, to run, you could eat whatever the heck you like. However, it's gonna be a lot easier to run and feel good during and after if you're loading up on healthy stuff beforehand. A good way to think about it would be to eat like a caveman -- going as au natural as possible. If it's processed, do your best to avoid it. Fruits and veggies should make up a large portion of your diet, with some lean meat, low-fat dairy, and whole grains thrown in. If you want to see changes in your body, this step is a must-do. Getting started running is a lot about not getting discouraged too soon. If you think it's too difficult or not enjoyable enough, you won't stick with it. If you're hitting the gym, find a gym that's convenient to get to and that has nice equipment. If you're running outside, consider terrain, scenery, and level. Are you running on dirt, gravel, or blacktop? Is it pretty enough to keep you relaxed and in the zone? Is there plenty of flat terrain, or is it uphill or downhill? All you really need to run is a good pair of shoes. If the budget doesn't allow for the fancy, technical gear, don't sweat it. You don't need any. Women should have a decent sports bra, but that's about it. CoolMax or Dri-Fit are two brands of synthetic fabrics that keep the moisture (read: sweat) off your skin if you're interested, but you can run just as well as long as you're comfortable. Odds are your area has a running, triathlon, or marathon club you can join. Being surrounding by like-minded people will only fill you with more gusto -- and it'll keep you on track when you're feeling less than motivated. Need a buddy to run a race with? Problem solved. Don't know where to find one? Try your local running shoe shop. It's probably a smaller network of serious runners than you realize! Soon you'll be on a first name basis. Now that you're a runner, might as well do some good with your new hobby! There are millions of 5 and 10ks out there to support good causes. With two minutes of research, you're bound to find one in your area!

Technology has been proven time and again as the number one distraction in the modern world. Although this is usually thought of as a bad thing, it can work to your advantage if you're trying to keep someone distracted.  For instance, you should try linking them to a funny video on YouTube. Text messages are a great distraction. There are plenty of online games you can recommend someone play. Everybody loves stories. Stories allow someone to step out of their own lives for a short while and experience life in someone else's shoes. A funny anecdote about your own life can be all you need to effectively distract someone. Humour is important in a story, especially if you're trying to get the other person's mind off of something serious. A good story can be found just about anywhere in your life. It's usually best if the story actually happened to you. That way, the interaction will feel more like a bonding experience between the two of you. Try to keep your story to the point. Offer details when you think it helps the person get a better idea of what's going on, but make sure you don't stay in one place for too long. While humour and laughter are a great source of enjoyment at the best of times, they are also the best possible coping mechanism. It is highly recommended as a healthy distraction, as it's simple, effective and usually inexpensive. Depending on the existing relationship you have with the person you're trying to distract, humour may come easily o may be more difficult. If you're really stumped for humour, you might try reciting a few jokes beforehand. That way, if nothing comes naturally to you, you'll at least have something to try with. If you're trying to distract someone from something in particular, you need to be wary of bringing an association of that thing to the person's mind while you talk. While you shouldn't let your caution get in the way of proper conversation, it's recommended you keep the thing you're distracting him from in your mind while you talk. Try to think of things that may...

Teenagers can start to build muscle in the gym after puberty. In fact, teenagers may be able to build muscle faster than adults. The hormones that cause a teenager to grow rapidly in puberty increase your metabolism and increase muscle growth. Most children can start lifting weights at age 12-14, but the signs that someone is going through puberty include:  Beginning body odor Acne Beginning to grow body hair (males) Shoulders widening, chest growing (males) Begin to develop breasts (females) The safest, most effective way for teens to gain muscles is to have proper form and safe lifting habits. As you first start out, you might be able to bench press a lot of weights once or twice, but your form will suffer as you try to force the weight up. Try to do 8-12 reps of something with a weight that challenges you but feels comfortable.  A “rep” is when you do an exercise once. Aim for 8-12 reps A “set” is a collection of reps. After one set, rest for 1-2 minutes before continuing. Aim for 3-5 sets of each exercise. While every magazine rack in the country touts “the best new workouts to gain muscle,” the classic exercises are still some of the best. Most of these are “compound lifts,” meaning they work out multiple muscles at once for quick results. Start your lifting program by learning the following exercises before moving on to more complex, sport-specific lifts:  Bench Press Shoulder Press Squats Deadlifts  Rows Remember, your body is still growing and will react negatively to working out too often. Don’t push yourself thinking you will get better results – you may only hurt yourself and set your training back. Shorter sessions done frequently will help maintain proper form and keep your muscles healthy.  Work out on non-consecutive days so that you get a rest in between each session. Hour-long workouts allow you to focus on your technique without getting too tired to pay attention to form. This is the best thing you can do to grow muscle quickly and safely. Do not try to teach yourself how to lift, you need a...

Teens often have to juggle just as many responsibilities as adults. A full school day, an afterschool club, practice for a sport, and homework can add up to a 12–14 hour day, at the very least. A planner will help you keep your schedule organized.  Before the start of each week, write down everything that you plan on or need to do. Get to know yourself and how long it takes you to complete various tasks, and set your weekly plan accordingly. Be realistic about what you can actually accomplish in one day to avoid over-scheduling. Putting everything on paper will help you order your time, so you can be where you need to be on time, and complete high-priority tasks before less important ones. Every night, write your next day’s to-dos. Use a notebook or an app on your phone or computer if you prefer. Try to complete the all of the items on the list the next day. This will help you put your task in order of importance, and help you develop a sense of commitment. Following through with what you intend to get done will get you far in life!  Note any specific chores you might have to do at home, in addition to things you have to get done at school. Write down a handy reminder if you need to ask a friend or teacher something List your class and activities schedule so you can plan on how much time you need to get from one place or another.

Teeth grow fast at the early puppy stage. Because the change is so rapid, this is the most accurate time to be able to tell a dog's age. Count the type and position of your puppy's teeth to estimate their age.  Newborn puppies are born without their teeth erupted from the gums. At certain intervals teeth will erupt. The first baby teeth to appear will generally be the canine teeth at 3-4 weeks of age. At 4-5 weeks of age the two middle incisors erupt. At 4-6 weeks the first two molars erupt. At 5-6 weeks the third incisors erupt. And at 6-8 weeks of age the third molar erupts. The premolars do not appear until much later. At eight weeks and older puppies will have 28 baby teeth.  At around 4 months of age the puppy will begin to lose its baby teeth as the adult teeth will erupt. Most times, puppies swallow these teeth but occasionally the owner will find a shed baby tooth or see the gum line is bleeding where a tooth has erupted.  Just as with baby humans, puppies at this stage will love to chew on things! At 4-5 months the adult incisors, first premolar, and first molar will erupt. At 5-6 months the adult canine, premolars 2-4, and second molars erupt. Finally, at 6-7 months the adult third molar will erupt. All together there will be 42 adult teeth. In the first two years of adult life, the teeth are generally white with very little wear. By the end of the second year the white will have dulled and tartar will begin building up. This will cause yellowing on the back teeth. Eventually wear and tear and accumulation of plaque and bacteria will begin to age the teeth. This is how we estimate an adult dog’s age.  By age three, most dogs will have some signs of tooth disease: accumulation of yellow and brown tartar, reddened gums, bad breath. Of course, dogs with owners who brush their teeth daily and who take their dog to the dog dentist regularly will not have these signs of wear and tear and disease. After three to five years the yellowing will increase and be visible on all teeth. There will be noticeable...

Tell a story about a time you hilariously messed something up, or make a joke about the clothes you're wearing. Most tomboys are not interested in people with giant egos, so laughing at yourself is a great way to bond with your crush and let her know that you can take a joke. Self-deprecating humor is a great way to break the ice, but don't overdo it. Constantly putting yourself down isn't attractive and she may begin to think you aren't joking. Many tomboys are competitive, so a little good-hearted teasing can bring out your crush's playful side and make her more open to your advances. Try giving her a silly nickname, jokingly disagree with something she said, or goad her about a favorite band, show, or sports team. Make sure it's clear that you're joking around and not actually insulting or criticizing her. An easy way to show you like someone is by laughing at their jokes, and tomboys are no different. Pay attention when your crush tells a joke and, even if she isn't very funny, give at least a chuckle when the punchline hits. Laughing easily, or for longer than you normally would, can clue her in that you have a crush. While they may not wear frilly dresses or tons or makeup, many tomboys still care about how they look and put a lot of work into it. Look for small changes in her appearance, like a new outfit, hairstyle, or hat, and compliment it. This will show that you're paying attention and will make her feel really good. When you're having a conversation, lean in toward her ever so slightly. This draws her attention toward you and helps to show your interest in her. Sharing personal space is a key way to increase romantic and sexual tension, and if she seems receptive, try to break the touch barrier by placing your hand on her arm, shoulder, or leg. If you're spending more time together and enjoy each other's company, ask if your crush would be interested in going on a date. Even though she's a tomboy, don't wait for her to pop the question. If she says yes, got to a casual place that fits your...

Tell her that this is new to you, and you need some time to think about the risk of infection. Go on dates that don't involve a lot of physical contact. As you get to know her, think about your options.  Ask yourself if you are willing to accept the risk of transmission, or if you are uncomfortable with the idea of having sex with someone who has an STI. Consider how long you will be with the girl: do you see this lasting a long time? If it's more of a short-term thing, do you still feel comfortable accepting the risk of transmission? Remind yourself that both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are really common. Ask calmly and politely, and avoid saying anything insulting or dramatic. Your questions might include:  How frequently do you experience outbreaks? How long has it been since your first outbreak? Can you tell when you're about to have an outbreak? What does it feel like? What have you done with previous partners to manage the risk of infection? Talk to a medical professional, or to friends of yours who may have experience in this area. Since HSV-1 and HSV-2 are so common, you probably know many people who live with them. Talking to someone who is informed and rational will help you sort out your best course of action.  Consider calling a hotline, such as Planned Parenthood: (800) 230-PLAN. Be sure to respect the privacy of your date. Talk to someone who doesn't know her, or someone you know won't repeat your conversation. When you are properly armed with facts regarding the herpes virus, how it affects the woman you are dating, and how it will influence your dating experience, you are more prepared to make a decision regarding continuing your relationship. Ask her what she needs going forward, and tell her what you need.  You are entitled to your feelings, but it is crucial that you communicate these feelings in a clear and considerate way with your date so that she knows where you stand in your relationship. For instance, you may say: "I'd like to keep dating, but it's very important to me that you always tell me...

If he goes, you can hang out with him without the pressure of a one-on-one hangout or date. Try chatting with one or more of his friends first and inviting them to the group activity too. That way, when you talk to the guy you like, you can tell him that his friends are going too and he will be more likely to say yes. Find him before he leaves the classroom if you have a class with him, or chat with him at his locker between classes. Sit next to him or just at the same table as him in the cafeteria at lunch. This is an easy and casual way to spend some time with him during school hours. Show up to a sports game that he’s playing in or watching, join a club he’s part of, or hang out at an arcade, bowling alley, or mall where he and his friends like to hang out. Make eye contact and strike up a conversation when you’re there. Get close to his friends to show him that you’re the type of person he likes to hang out with. You’ll get the opportunity to spend more time with him and learn more about him through his friends. When you’re ready to make your move, ask him out! Choose something as casual as going for a bike ride after school or something more formal and traditional like dinner and a movie.

Tell the pharmacist exactly how much of the medication should be filled and passed to the patient.  This information should usually be preceded by an appropriate heading, such as "dispense," "disp," "#," or "how much." Include the specific bottle size or number of tablets/capsules. Spell the numbers out to avoid possible miscommunication. For medications that treat a chronic condition or other similar reasons, you may wish to permit a certain number of refills before another prescription will be required.   Only allow additional refills when the patient will need the exact same prescription multiple times. For example, you might wish to prescribe a year's worth of oral contraceptives, yet each fulfillment of the prescription might only provide a month's worth. On the prescription form, write "Refills 11" to indicate that eleven refills are permitted after the first fulfillment. After the final refill runs out, the patient will need a new prescription before any additional medication can be obtained. If you do not wish to permit any refills, write "Refills 0" or "Refills none" to indicate as much. Doing so reduces the risk of possible tampering.

Tell the store employee what kind of switch you want and how many you’ll need, and they can help you determine the best purchase. Single-pole switches are the simplest and most common. A single-pole switch has just two positions—“on” and “off.” Flip the light switch on and off several times to be sure the power is off. Use a marker or colored tape to uniquely label each wire so you can tell them apart.  The box will contain one or two cables (or sets of wires). If the box contains two cables, it means the switch is in the middle of the circuit. You’ll see a total of six wires: two black (hot) wires, two green or bare copper (grounding) wires, and two (neutral) wires, which may be black, white, red, or any other color than green. Mark the wire connected to the brass screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the brass terminal as the “hot” wire. Mark the wire connected to the silver screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the silver terminal as the “neutral” wire. Finally, mark the green or copper wire connected to the green screw terminal (on the other side of the switch from the brass and silver terminals) as the “grounding” wire.   If the box contains only a single cable (or single set of three wires), it means the switch is at the end of the circuit. You will see a black (hot) wire, a green or bare copper (grounding) wire, and a third (neutral) wire, which may be black, white, red, or any color other than green. Mark the wire connected to the brass screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the brass terminal as the “hot” wire. Mark the wire connected to the silver screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the silver terminal as the “neutral” wire.

Tell them that you understand they’re experiencing something overwhelming and frightening. Let them know that they’re safe, that their feelings of anxiety or panic will not last forever, and that they’ll feel better soon. Say, “I know this is difficult, and catching your breath and relaxing may seem impossible. Remember that this will pass. You’re safe, you’re going to be okay and, if you want, I’ll be right here until it passes.” If you’ve never experienced symptoms of an anxiety disorder, acknowledge that you don’t completely understand what a panic attack is like. Instead of telling your partner to calm down or trying to assume what they need, ask them what you can do to help.  Tell them, “I’ve never had a panic attack, but I know it’s not as simple as just willing yourself to relax. What can I do to help you get through it?” Everyone is different, but they might ask you to breathe with them, help them visualize soothing scenery, or simply sit by them and hold their hand. During an anxious state, your partner might not be able to clearly communicate what they need. It’s wise to discuss what you should do to help when they’re not in the midst of a panic attack. They could also write a list of helpful actions for you. Ask them to do their best to breathe deeply into their abdomen. Let them know you get that they feel like they have to gasp for air, but slow, deep belly breaths can help them feel better.  Ask them to breathe in slowly and gently through their nose, fill up their belly with air, and breathe out slowly through their mouth. Counting to 5 while inhaling and exhaling or counting backwards from 100 can also help soothe symptoms of panic and anxiety. Say, “Let’s breathe together. Close your eyes, and just try to focus on your breathing.

Start by being honest, dependable and trustworthy. Remember that your actions speak louder than words, so you will have to do what you say you will do consistently to earn their trust back. Always be where you say you’ll be and do as you said you would do.  Go above and beyond to show your parents that you are responsible. Relationships are built on more than just difficult conversations with your parents.  Spend some time checking in with them often about your life.  Talk to them about the good grade you got on your chemistry final or a cool movie you saw with friends. Talking to them about the little things will make discussing big things easier. Unless your parents are unreasonable, most people are willing to find a happy medium.  If you want your curfew to be extended by two hours, see if your parents will extend it by one hour for now.  Ask if you can do extra chores at home in exchange for other privileges you want. In order to be perceived as more mature, do all of your chores at home.  Complete your homework without having to be asked and keep your room neat.  Take out the trash, do the dishes, or cook dinner even on the nights when it’s not your turn.  Your parents likely do a lot around home - give them a break sometimes. Your parents might have seen your side of things immediately, or perhaps they did not.  If not, follow up with them to see how they’re feeling. Check in after a few weeks to see where their head is at and if they’ve had a change of heart.

Tell your coworkers or employees how much you appreciate their efforts. When other people's good qualities are fresh in your mind, you'll trust them more. You'll have a healthier and more positive work climate, too.  Employees are happier and more productive if their workplace has a culture of gratitude. You don't have to give over-the-top compliments. Just say something like, “Thanks for working overtime yesterday to get that report done,” or, “Your hard work really makes a difference around here.” During a quiet moment with your partner, try this gratitude exercise. Take turns telling each other why you're grateful for one another, including small reasons as well as big ones. Expressing your feelings will build your trust in each other and help you feel more secure in your relationship. See if you can keep trading gratitude for ten minutes. One good way to feel more open and trusting towards the world is to connect with someone from your past. Think of a person who influenced or helped you when you were younger, and let them know how they impacted your life. You could send a thank-you letter to an old friend, a teacher, or a former boss, for example. When you feel like you can relate to someone, it's easier to trust them. To feel more positive towards other people in your life, focus on the common ground you have with them.  Look for shared goals, similar experiences, and similar preferences to build a connection with someone. For instance, you might be able to increase your trust in a coworker by focusing on the work-related goals you share.

Tell your partner how attractive you find them. Tell them they are beautiful or handsome, and also tell them the little things you find sexy or cute about them. For example, if you are walking somewhere you have never been in a new city with your partner, and he or she finds the way to get to where you need to go without any problem, tell him or her, “I think your sense of direction is sexy.” If your partner has done something for you- thank him or her for it. Write a little note of thanks for him or her and put it in their bag. Or you can send a text message that tells him or her how much you appreciate what they did with a picture of you looking silly and happy. Tease your partner and notice the little things that they do. Always laugh at your partner’s jokes or tease him or her for the joke, and encourage your partner when he or she is being silly. If your partner has painted her or his toenails, for example, you can ask something silly like, “Have your toenails always been that enchanting color?” The more you make humor a part of your relationship, the more comfortable and fun you can be together. You can make funny observations to your partner based on where you are. Look around at the environment that you are in, and say something about it that is exaggerated, or point out something curious. For example, if your car is really cluttered and you are giving your partner a ride somewhere, you can ask, “So are you going to break up with me now because of my car?” Be your partner’s emotional support. Encourage your partner to tell you the things he or she cares about and the things he or she is going through. You can ask your partner something like, “So how have you really been lately?”. When things are hard for your partner, remind him or her of the things that he or she has done well and all the ways things are going to be okay. Tell your partner that you are there for him or her.  Try to accept your partner for who he or she is including both the good and the bad. Realize his or her faults as well as their...

Tell your partner that there are ramifications for the affair.  Your partner will now have to be accountable for actions so that you can rebuild your trust.  Ask your partner to stop all contact with the person with whom the affair was conducted. Tell your partner they should not go places where they’re likely to run into their former lover. Let your partner know that if they do bump into the former lover they should tell you immediately. Inform your partner that in order for you to trust them again they’ll have to make concessions that allow you access to their emails, texts, and phone records, credit card bills . . . anything that could be used to conduct an affair. Ask questions about the affair itself, (in addition to examining the underlying causes).  It's better to know just what happened rather than filling in the details by using your imagination. There’s no limit to the horrors the imagination can conjure up if fueled by jealousy and anger.  Make it clear to your partner that it’s imperative that they answer your questions honestly. If your partner isn’t being honest it will lead to more feelings of distrust. So let your partner know that no matter how hurtful it will be, you want the truth. You might be asking the same questions over and over.  But it’s necessary to work those questions and their painful answers out of your system. Think of it as flushing rusty water from a tap.  You open the tap and let the water run until the water runs clear. Couples have affairs, one partner forgives the other, and they rebuild.  It happens all the time.  Forgiving your partner is certainly possible, but are you capable of forgiving?  Assess yourself honestly. Can you move past this?  Do you see yourself as the type of person who can, eventually, forgive the affair if your partner is sincere about avoiding future infidelity? Think about other times you’ve experienced hurt or injustice from others.  Were you able to move past it?  Or were you never able to let go and forgive?  Don’t remain in the relationship for...

Tell yourself that you love life and that you are enjoying the journey you are taking.  Even if your road is bumpy, you are managing to negotiate the rough spots. You’re still here to tell others that you got through to where you are today. Keep moving forward and don’t focus on how difficult life can be. Think about the ways you’ve overcome challenges and become a better person because of them. For example, if you’re mad that you were laid off, think about how you have been able to spend valuable time with your children. No matter the size of the accomplishment, keep track of the progress you’re making. Look for accomplishments you have made to get you this far and let your past success propel you forward. It might help to write down your accomplishments. Then you can compare your new accomplishments to older ones and recognize how far along you’ve come. Make sure others give you the respect you deserve. Don’t let others disrespect you or speak badly of you.  Stand up for yourself, just as you’d stand up for a good friend who is being disrespected. Don’t put yourself down, especially in front of other people. If people hear you talking badly about yourself, they may think this is an acceptable way to treat you. Look for instances where you need support and give it to yourself.  Pat yourself on the back when you’ve done something well. Treat yourself kindly when you are learning something new and need encouragement to go forward. This is a good time to repeat your mantra, or adapt your mantra to a new situation. When you learn to be happy by yourself, you'll find that you end up feeling more at ease with yourself. In uncomfortable situations, which may have previously left you feeling lonely or embarrassed, you’ll be more likely to be at ease.  If you’re by yourself, don’t pull out your phone and start texting. Instead, pay attention to your surroundings. Do a simple activity like drinking a cup of tea and feeling present. If you're out and about (at a coffee shop, or at a party), remind yourself that your...

Tell yourself, “I will read this chapter for one and a half hours.” Giving yourself a time-frame will help you stay on track as you read. If you begin to notice that you are reading a section for too long, get the main points and move on. Mark the section and come back to it if it is a particularly difficult section. As you read, place your finger (or an index card or pen) below the first word of the sentence and move it as you read. Your finger will help your eyes focus on the words you are reading, instead of other pictures and information. Additionally, using a pointer can you help control how fast or slow you read something; for example, the faster you move your finger the faster you will read and vice versa. Sub-vocalization is reading aloud in your head and/or moving your lips as you read. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but it can slow down your reading rate. Reduce your sub-vocalization by chewing gum or listening to music while you read. By forcing yourself to read faster you may also be able to reduce sub-vocalization. Additionally, there are apps and programs that can help you reduce your sub-vocalization. Reading faster isn’t just about reading fast, but about controlling your speed. In other words, slow your reading when you encounter concepts that you are unfamiliar with or do not understand. Then, increase your speed once you have gauged the meaning.

Telling him this prepares him a little bit emotionally for what you’re about to say, so he isn’t shocked. It also acknowledges that you are thinking about and anticipating his feelings, so he won’t feel guilty if he shows surprise. Say, “I realize this might be surprising but I just wanted to let you know how I’ve been feeling lately.” Be clear that you like him as more than a friend but you don’t profess your undying love. That would be startling if he never thought about you like that before.  Say something like, “Lately I’ve been feeling like I like you as more than a friend. I was wondering if you might want to go on a date sometime?” Avoid asking, “Do you like me back?” or “Will you be my boyfriend?” because he might not have developed feelings for you yet, but he might be open to exploring the possibility by going on a date with you. It’s very important to be clear and use scary words like “date” because otherwise he might not get that you’re asking him out. If he says yes, and you start a relationship, you can tell him the truth later about how long you liked him, if it's been a long time. Otherwise, it’s best to keep it a secret to help make your friendship feel less awkward.   Even if you’ve been pining for your friend for months or years, say, “Recently I’ve been feeling…” or “Lately I’ve been feeling…” so that he doesn’t freak out. This takes the pressure off, and isn’t really lying, because “lately” and “recently” could be defined in many ways. Make it clear that you weren’t just friends with your guy friend because you wanted to get with him. Your guy friend will feel comforted knowing that he won’t lose your friendship, no matter if he wants to go out with you or not. Say, “Our friendship is my top priority, so if you don’t want to go out, I understand, and I don’t want this to mess up our friendship.” Real life isn’t like a rom-com where you can convince someone to love you by talking them into it. Instead, you should respect his feelings. If he says no, don’t try to talk him around. Imagine...

Telling our spouse about your pregnancy is a serious conversation. Having the conversation at the wrong time or in the wrong place can make the talk more difficult. Choose a time when you and your spouse are alone, calm, in a fairly good mood, and can have an in-person talk.  For example, emailing or texting your spouse during work may not be the best idea. Depending on how you feel, you may want to use a creative methods to let your spouse know about your pregnancy. Plainly tell your spouse that you are pregnant. Because you have worked through your feelings before you approach your spouse, you can clearly state how you feel about your pregnancy. Let our spouse know all of the emotions that you are experiencing and the options that you would like to explore.  Share your list of pros and cons with your spouse. This may be easier than relying on your memory and how you feel in the moment. Avoid starting the conversation with a negative tone.  For example, do not say, "I have some bad news for you..."  Try something more positive like, "I appreciate you and the life that we are building together. We are having a new addition to our family." Do not hold anything back. If you do not want to continue with the pregnancy or are unsure about becoming a parent right now, your spouse needs to know that. Your spouse may be feel many of the same emotions that you do. Excitement, fear, nervousness, confusion are all possible. Your spouse also may feel more like a support person and not an equal decision maker because you are the one carrying the baby.  Do not be alarmed by any reaction your spouse has. You have been working through your feelings already; allow your spouse to do the same. If your spouse has a negative reaction, try not to take it personally.

Telling people you don't want to do drugs can be a really hard thing to do. You want to be clear and not offend anyone. Take a little time to think about how you might say "no" to someone who tries to pressure you into trying drugs. Here are some examples to start you off:   "No, thanks. The way I'm going, I need all the brain cells I can get."  "Actually, I was just heading home. My parents asked me to look after my little sister. I'll see you guys tomorrow?" "I'm starving. Let's go grab a bite to eat at my house instead." . Remember your reasons for saying "no" in the first place: You care about your health; you want to give yourself the best chance to succeed; your sights are set higher than petty distractions. If you remember all the reasons why drugs aren't right for you, you're less likely to feel guilty for saying "no." When you don't feel guilty, you're less likely to cave in to peer pressure. Like it or not, your whole entire life could be changed with one decision. Often, all it takes is one time before things go horribly wrong. Are you willing to bet your life that this time is going to be different? . People who take drugs often don't respect themselves. They understand that they're hurting their body and hurting their family, but they're powerless to stop, and sometimes wouldn't want to because, deep down inside, they think they deserve it. (This is why many addicts need to go to therapy in order to help kick their addiction.) Once addicts begin to have more self-respect, they often clean up their habit. In order to have self-respect, you need to know who you are. This is an incredibly liberating journey if you haven't taken it before. It's about loving yourself from the inside out. If you can achieve that, the most powerful drug in the world won't compare to the love you have for yourself.

Telling someone you self-harm can be very scary and difficult. Rehearsing some of the conversation can help you better get your message across when you tell your friend and give you confidence and empowerment. Practicing at home can also help you map out in your head what you are going to say and you can practice responses to potential reactions. Think about how your friend might react and come up with ways to respond. Face to face conversations are always harder but also permits you to get it out in real time. Plus, serious emotional issues deserve the face to face attention you need. Hugs and tears shared in person can be therapeutic.  Telling someone face to face can be very empowering. The initial reaction may not be what you hoped for, so be prepared for anger, sadness, and shock. Telling someone in person is a serious event and you deserve to be in a space of comfort and privacy when you disclose. Though this method means the person you are telling will be faced with shocking news without the immediate chance to respond, sometimes that delay is what you and they need. You can choose exactly what you want to say and how you want to say it without interruption. This will also give the recipient time to process the information. Be sure to follow up the letter or email with a phone call or face to face conversation since the person you wrote may be very worried about you. Waiting to hear from you again can be very anxiety inducing for your friend. End the letter with a plan to call them in 2 days or to email you when they are ready to talk. Telling a friend or other trusted person on the phone still lets you have the real time discussion with a buffer of not having to face their initial reaction in person.  You will not have the benefit of non-verbal communication this way, so be cautious to avoid misinterpretations. If you are telling someone who lives very far away, they may feel powerless to help you. Try to suggest ways they can support you even at a distance. Calling a helpline is a solid way for you...

Telling your partner about your eating disorder may be stressful for you, so it is important to have a destressing activity planned for after. Try planning something that is not food related, such as going to see a movie with a friend, going for a massage or pedicure, or doing some yoga or meditation. Before you tell your partner, you may want to write down some thoughts. This can help you organize what you want to say and take some of the pressure off when you finally tell them. You may want to write out a speech, jot down bullet points of things you want to say, or make a list of keywords so you won’t forget.  If you don’t think you can tell them in person, you may want to write them a letter. Consider asking a friend or family member who knows about your condition for help coming up with what to say. You may also want to consult your therapist for help in how to tell your partner. When you tell your partner about your eating disorder, make sure to choose a good time and place to do it. Pick a time when both of you are not distracted and have time to have a long conversation. Do it in a quiet, private place instead of a public place.  You want to make sure cell phones are put away, television is off, and any other distractions are not going to interrupt you. Make sure you have plenty of time to talk because your partner may have a lot of questions. Tell your partner, "I have something very important to discuss with you. When do you have time to talk?" You may also want to prepare your partner for an empathetic, accepting response.  Try saying something like, "I'm nervous about telling you this and I'm fearful of being judged. I trust you and want to share this with you." You should tell your partner about your triggers. If you are going to spending the majority of your time with them, they need to know how not to cause you to feel bad, get upset, or relapse.

Telling your partner that you have HIV/AIDS can be incredibly difficult. However, it’s very important that you do so—both for their safety and yours. Sit down with them and have a direct, honest conversation about your condition. Do so before you have sex for the first time, if possible.  Choose a time when you and your partner are both calm and you are not likely to be interrupted. Find a quiet place where you can talk privately.  You might start by saying something like, “This is hard for me, but there’s something important I have to tell you. I found out a year ago that I’m HIV positive.” Be prepared to answer your partner’s questions. Try to stay calm and answer their questions openly and honestly. Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS doesn’t mean you have to give up on having an active and healthy sex life. In addition to using condoms and taking your HIV medications, you can help protect your partner by suggesting that they take PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) medications.  PrEP medications are antiretroviral medications that can prevent an HIV infection from developing. If your partner uses them consistently, they can reduce their risk of catching HIV by up to 92%. The current PrEP is Truvada (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-emtricitabine), which is a combination medication. Your partner will need to be screened for HIV and other STDs every 3 months while taking PrEP. If you take injectable drugs or medications, it’s very important that you do not share your needles or syringes with anyone else. Sharing needles can put them at risk of catching HIV, and can also increase your risk of picking up another infection (such as hepatitis).  If you have already shared needles or injection equipment with anyone else, let them know about your HIV+ status. Always use a new, clean syringe if you need to give yourself any kind of injection. If you’re pregnant and HIV positive, there’s a chance you could pass on the infection to your baby before or after delivery. Tell your doctor immediately if you become pregnant so that...

Temperature fluxes have dangerous effects on both tank water and glass. Some parts of your home to avoid include open windows letting in direct sunlight, drafty basements, furnaces, and fireplaces. Find a spot where the temperature and sunlight stay level throughout the day. Remember that fish tanks are controlled environments. Any little change may have drastic effects. Sunlight, for example, warms water and facilitates algae growth. Set the tank on a stable surface, then use a bubble level to test it. Place the bubble on the top edges of the tank. The bubble in the center of the level will move to the side if the tank is uneven. Water will also flow towards the uneven side, putting extra pressure on the glass. Getting the tank perfectly level is difficult. Put the tank on a level stand on flat ground to get it as level as possible. Put wooden shims underneath the tank to make small elevation adjustments You will need these submersible systems in order to regulate the waters for your fish. First, choose systems rated as compatible with the size of tank you have. Assemble the components, such as by pushing the filter inside its tube housing. Most heaters and filters are easy to install, since all you have to do is drape them over the walls of the tank and plug them into a wall outlet.  If you aren't going to get a filter, change 25% of the tank water every day. If you would like a little extra help with cleaning the tank, you may want to invest in some shrimp, snails, or cory catfish (check compatibility with your tank). Heaters and filters are available in different models. Some manufacturers, for example, require you to place the filter underneath gravel. Heaters have adjustable settings. You twist the knob on the heater to determine how hot it makes the water. The setting you choose depends on what your fish need. Tropical aquariums usually need to be between 75 and 80 °F (24 and 27 °C), for instance. Spread enough aquarium gravel or sand to hide the bottom of the tank. Rinse all the decorations in warm...

Tender, firm, crisp peppers will taste best when pickled. Peppers with discoloration or soft spots should be thrown away. Wear rubber gloves when handling peppers to prevent skin irritation or transferring hot pepper oil to your eyes. If you handle the peppers with your bare hands, thoroughly wash your hands immediately afterward in warm, soapy water. Pickling whole small chiles is perfectly fine, but sliced chiles may be preferable if you plan on using them as a side or topping. Rinse the chiles in warm, salty water. Drain the chiles, then set them off to the side for later. If you plan on pickling whole small chiles, use a knife or toothpick to poke a hole in each chile at its tip. Pour the white wine and apple cider vinegar into a pot. Set a burner to high and heat the mixture. As it heats, add 3 tbsp (44 ml) of sugar. Stir the mixture occasionally until it comes to a boil and the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the stove. Add about 3 bay leaves to the mixture. Insert the chiles into the pot. Mix all the ingredients in the pot with a wooden spoon by stirring periodically with a wooden spoon. Allow the mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring the chiles and pickling solution to sterilized jars. Heat from the mixture will transfer to the jars quickly, so be careful while doing this. Leave at least a half inch (1.3 cm) of space between the mixture and top of the lid. Sterilize your jars before pickling by completely immersing these in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Use tongs to immerse and remove jars so you don’t get burned. Sterilize lids similarly in water that is nearly boiling. Allow the mixture to fully cool before sealing the lids. Once lidded, store your pickled chiles in your refrigerator. Allow the chiles to pickle in your refrigerator for two weeks before eating.

Tense muscles can interfere with shooting form, and produce less consistent shots. Think of it this way: it's tough to reproduce a precise level of tension each time, but a fully relaxed muscle is always in the same position. Encourage this consistency by warming up before each archery session, stretching your shoulders, upper back, neck, or anything else that feels tense. Check your muscles again before releasing an arrow. Relaxing your forearm is one of the most important steps for consistent, accurate shooting. Tense your tricep instead. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, at a 90º angle to the target. Step a couple inches (few centimeters) forward with your lead foot and turn it outward. Balance your weight evenly between your two feet, without leaning in any direction. If you catch yourself leaning or having balance issues, adjust your stance to be a little more open (facing the target). When holding the bow handle, most of the pressure should rest on the lower part of your thumb, about an inch (2.5cm) below the joint. Rotate your hand slightly so your palm and fingers are relaxed, not pushing against the bow. This natural hand position is easy to maintain and prevents you from twisting the bow with your palm as you shoot. Some archers use other holds, but these tend to be less forgiving. If your wrist is not in a natural position, you will need to exert strength to keep it in that position during shooting. Nock the arrow onto your bowstring and draw it back, keeping your wrist straight and relaxed. As you bring the string to your face, look for "anchor points" where parts of the bow meet your face. The more natural your anchor points feel, and the easier it is to locate them, the more consistent your shooting will be. Pick two or three of the following to use as anchor points, or invent your own that work well for you:  Point where your hand touches your face. This is a specific point on your jaw, cheek, neck, or under your ear, depending on draw length and release type. Point where the string...

Tension causes an actual physical change in the affected muscles and a massage can help remove it so that your muscles feels relaxed. A professional masseuse can feel the knots and tension in your muscles and massage them out.  Some studies show that massage may release and lengthen tense muscles.  There are many types of massage available, but Swedish massage and deep-tissue massage are effective at alleviating tension in your entire body.  You can locate a qualified massage therapists either online or through a doctor’s  recommendation.  If you can’t get to a professional massage therapist, try self-massage. Rubbing your face or even just massaging your ears will relieve tension. Using heat on tense muscles not only can relax the contracting muscle and you, but it will also help alleviate the pain. From heating pads to warm baths, heat treatments can help get rid of tension.  Taking a warm shower or bath will relax you and help with the pain of a muscle cramp. Fill a hot water bottle or get a heating pad and place it on the your tense muscles. Over the counter heat rubs may also help alleviate tension and relax muscle spasms. Draw yourself a warm bath when you feel tension. Warm water will soothe tense muscles and can instantly relieve tension and relax you.  Make sure that the water is between 36 and 40 degrees Celsius so that you don’t burn your skin. You can use a thermometer to check the temperatures.   A whirlpool tub can help relieve tension because the jets will massage your muscles.  Epsom salts can have a sedative effect on you and help relieve muscle tension further.  If you don’t have a bath, consider using the shower or a steam room. Going for an easy walk not only can stretch out your muscles through motion, but it will also relieve tension-causing stress. Make sure to keep your exercise gentle so that you don’t cause your muscles to tense up further.  Only exercise if you are able to and don’t push yourself. This may only be possible after some light stretching. Take long strides and gently...

Test strips, also known as litmus paper, are a quick and easy way to measure the pH of your soil. You can purchase them online or at your local garden store. Take a handful of the soil you'd like to test and put it in a bowl. Then, pour some distilled water into the bowl until the dirt is the consistency of a milkshake. You can give the mixture a stir to ensure the water is fully incorporated. Holding your pH test strip at the non-reading end, dip the strip into the dirt mixture for 20-30 seconds. This test time can vary, so consult the directions on your specific test strips to determine the proper dipping time. When the test time is up, lift the pH strip from the water, and dip it briefly in distilled water to clean off the dirt. Use the key included in your pH test kit to read the pH of your soil. Normally this key is color-coded. Compare your strip to the colors available, and select the one that most resembles your result. The key will equate this color with the pH number of your soil.

Test your blood pressure at the same time every day. This helps ensure the most accurate reading. Consider measuring your blood pressure when you are most relaxed — in the mornings and evenings. You may also want to ask your doctor the best time to run the test for your purposes. Different factors can influence your blood pressure. Getting yourself ready to take the reading can ensure you get the most accurate readings. Before you test:  Make sure you’ve been awake and out of bed for at least 30 minutes. Stay away from food and beverages 30 minutes before the test. Avoid caffeine and tobacco for 30 minutes before you test yourself. Avoid any type of physical activity or exercise for 30 minutes before testing. Make sure to empty your bladder. Make sure to read the device instructions before you do any testing. It’s important to maintain proper arm and body positioning before and during your test. Sitting in a supported and upright position helps ensure the most accurate reading. In addition, you may want to sit and relax for a few minutes to help stabilize your pressure and further prepare yourself to get an accurate reading.  Avoid moving or talking when you’re taking your blood pressure reading. Sit upright with your back supported. Place and keep your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs. Place the cuff directly above the eye, or crook, of your elbow. Support the cuffed arm on a table, desk, or the arm of a chair. Keep it at the level of your heart by propping it up with a pillow or cushion. After you’re comfortable and have sat quietly for a few minutes, start the test. Turn on the machine or test as calmly as you can so that you don’t elevate your pressure. Remove the cuff and/or abort the test if the cuff becomes uncomfortable, too tight or if you get lightheaded at any point. During the test, avoid moving or talking and remain as calm as possible.

Tests are anxiety inducing enough, you don't want to add more to yourself by running behind on the day your test is scheduled. Running into the test room, your heart and mind racing, will likely put you in a less than optimal mental state for test taking. Visit your testing location prior to the day of your test to squash any pesky worries that you won't be able to find it the day of. Though Mensa proctors will tell you that test questions get harder as your progress through the assessment and not to skip ahead, wasting unnecessary time on a question you don't know will make it difficult for you to answer later questions you do know. Chewing gum raises alertness, speeds your reaction times, and allows you to remember new information at a quicker rate. Especially if you have difficult staying awake during a test, you should consider walking into your test already chewing a stick of gum. Peppermint can invigorate your mind, sharpen your attention span, and improve your memory. Even if you hate peppermint candy, you can make use of this cognitive enhancer by putting a dab of peppermint essential oil on your wrist or shirt sleeve. That way you can take a whiff periodically to enjoy its benefits. One of the most challenging aspects of the Mensa test is the short time limit in which you will be expected to complete it. Keep an eye on the clock to keep yourself on task, and be quick to cut your losses and move on if any one section is taking too long. Your test results will be sent to you two to three weeks following your test, but this time may take longer depending on the number of applicants and other factors. Test results cannot be conveyed over the phone, but if you write a simple request for results to be sent to you via fax or email, including your name, email, and signature, Mensa shall do so when finished scoring your test. These requests should be sent to:Admissions DepartmentAmerican Mensa, Ltd.1229 Corporate Dr WArlington TX 76006-6103

Texting is more accepted nowadays then calling out of the blue. It is also much less intimidating. Text her about the conversation you had earlier or start a new conversation.  Do not just text "hey." Be engaging and offer a line which can be made into a conversation. The responsibility is on you to start the conversation. Try to be funny, keep things light, and be yourself when you first start texting her. You don't want to get into a place where you have to keep on pretending to be someone else. Remember that just because the girl gave you her number, it does not mean that she is necessarily romantically interested. She may have just not wanted to reject you or she may see you more as a friend. Text with her for a while to try to gauge her opinion of you. In addition to continuing conversation with her at school or work, try to continue frequent conversations over text or on a phone call. Until you get to know her better, try to keep the conversation fairly neutral. Some good things to talk about include:  TV Shows Movies Family Future dreams Funny stories You likely asked her for her number because you are romantically interested in her. Do not wait too long before asking her to go on a date. It could be the first step in a relationship.

Texting is not always on a strict time table, which can be good and bad. After you ask him out, wait for him to text you back. If you start to send another text apologizing or asking him if he is thinking, don't send that text. Be patient and give him time to think and send you a response. If you've been talking for a while and he doesn't respond right away, it may be his way of saying no, but don't assume this immediately. If he doesn't respond right away to you asking him out, don't start panicking. Go find something to do while you wait. Staring at your phone or checking it every two minutes will drive you crazy. Set the ringer and find something to occupy your mind. Go for a run, take a shower, turn on Netflix, pull out a book, or work on a hobby. As long as you find something to keep your mind busy, you'll be better off. Sometimes people don't respond to texts, or phones mess up and texts don't get to their destination. If you have waited a while, it's okay to check to make sure he received your message. There's not an exact time when you should text him again. Most of the time if you haven't heard from him within one day, it's okay to text him to check in.

Thanks to its layout and the many canals, even visitors who are familiar with Venice find themselves getting lost. If you build time for getting lost into your day, you’ll be able to enjoy it as part of the Venetian experience instead of feeling stressed out. Getting lost is a great way to find unexpected sights, and since you’re on an island, it’s easy to find your way back eventually. During the daytime, St. Mark’s Square, better known as the Piazza San Marco, is crowded with tourists. If you want the square to yourself, try to visit first thing in the morning or late in the evening after the cruise ships have departed.  Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea at a cafe on the square as you take in the breathtaking architecture of St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the campanile bell tower. Buy a packet of maize to feed the square’s world-famous pigeons. St. Mark’s Basilica, or the Basilica di San Marco, is an elaborately beautiful church which was built to house the body of St. Mark. There is no charge to enter the church, but they ask that you be dressed modestly — your shoulders and knees should be covered.  The domes and mosaics in St. Mark’s Basilica are some of the most ornate religious art in the world, and they draw visitors year-round. From mid-September through October, the diocese offers guided tours to explain the theological messages in the mosaics. The tours are given in different languages on different days. The Rialto Bridge, or Ponte di Rialto, was completed in 1591, and it was the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until 1854. This beautiful bridge features a graceful arch, 3 walkways, and 2 rows of shops, and it is a must-see when you visit Venice. Burano, Murano, Torcello, and Lido are all popular with visitors who want to explore the lesser-known side of Venice. It’s best to spend a whole day exploring these islands, with their quaint sea-side homes. You’ll definitely want to plan to eat lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants on the outer islands! Guided tours are a great way...

That goes for guards, other prison officials, and the person in the cell next door. If someone is being nice to you, ask yourself, "What's in it for him or her?" They almost always have some hidden motive that you don't know about. In prison, nothing is free; for instance, if someone gives or loans you something, you will probably have to pay it back with a hefty rate of interest added. If you can't pay, they may demand a favor that could get you into big trouble, such as hiding contraband in your cell. If you want to look tough, do not show fear, anger, happiness, or pain. Emotions are your worst enemy because they reveal your weaknesses. Both inmates and guards prey on weakness. Don't give them the opportunity to do so. If someone can figure out what makes you angry, they can use that knowledge to manipulate you. In the same way, if someone knows what makes you happy, they can try to ruin it for you. And because they are around you 24/7, they have unlimited opportunities to test their manipulative skills on you. Do not be overly friendly with your cellmates, but do ask some questions. Some may have been in prison before and will be able to give you information about the prison you are being sent to as well as the system itself. You will have to judge for yourself whether to believe any of the information. Use common sense and try to figure out if that person has a reason to lie or mislead you. Some convicts will try to intimidate new inmates or mislead them for fun. Be careful. Anything you say to guards or prisoners, no matter how innocent you think it is, can be used to hurt you, manipulate you, or be taken out of context. Avoid discussing dangerous conversational topics. Otherwise, it can easily get you into trouble. Obvious subjects to steer clear of are religion, politics, racial issues, or your own personal feelings about someone or their family and friends.  Some of the prisoners you'll encounter may have a short temper or are mentally ill, of low intelligence, or just plain bad. Prisoners like that...

That includes a lightweight tent and sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad. Look online or at your local sporting goods store for camping gear specifically designed for backpacking. You could use a water pump, iodine tablets, or a water bottle with a built-in filtration system to purify water on your trip. Make sure you read the instructions for your system carefully and check its function before heading out into the wild. Choose a system that filters out bacteria and living organisms as well as sediment. Calculate how many meals you’ll need on your trip and plan accordingly. Pack lightweight foods that are healthy and contain a lot of protein, like energy bars, trail mix, meat jerky, and dehydrated foods. Avoid packing foods that are bulky or expire quickly. Don’t forget to bring supplies to start a fire with. Pack a lighter and some matches in a waterproof bag or container so you can start a fire if you’re camping out for the night. Make sure you have a backup on your trip in case your GPS stops working. Pack a compass, a map of the area you'll be traveling through, and printed copies of any trail maps you find online for specific trails you'll be taking. For a backpacking trip, a bright headlamp is the lightest, most practical option. If you are willing to carry a bit of extra weight, you can also bring a handheld flashlight, or even a small lantern for greater visibility in the dark. Pack the extra batteries in a waterproof bag or container to keep them safe from the rain. Pack sunscreen that's at least SPF 50 and a hat to wear while you’re backpacking, regardless of what season you'll be traveling in (you can still burn in the winter). Reapply sunscreen several times throughout the day to avoid getting burnt. You should also pack sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun. You can also bring bug repellant bracelets so you don't have to reapply bug spray as frequently. Keep the spray near the top of your bag or in one of the side pockets so it's easy to access. Pack an extra top and bottoms so you have dry...

That is, as you get going, identify who you are aiming your restaurant at. Is it a young, hip crowd? Do you want a sophisticated, expensive restaurant? Do you prefer something very laid back where everyone is welcome? The best way to identify who is in your target audience and what common characteristics they have is to do some market research. You can hire a local marketing firm to survey people in the area about their restaurant likes and dislikes, with some questions geared towards your new restaurant and some demographic questions.  Another option is doing the research yourself. You can begin with information such as economic indicators, employment statistics, and income and earnings in a particular area, all compiled by the U.S. Government.  You could also try doing your own surveys by sending out self-addressed surveys in the mail. You could offer an incentive, such as being one of the first customers to try out the restaurant for free once it opens. Once the market research has been performed, ask for an analysis of common characteristics, such as the age group most likely to visit your restaurant, what kind of income they have, and how much they tend to use social media. You can use this type of information to drive your name and your brand. Now that you've narrowed down your name, choose one that fits your target audience. For instance, a young, hip crowd might like a slightly funky name or one that is a bit more obscure, while older generations will likely prefer something more straightforward that gets to the point. Funny names may send diners away who are looking for something a little more refined, but families may love it.

That is, define what exactly you mean by improvement. Do you want your process to more reliable, faster, more efficient, or better in some other way? This brings clarity to the project. Be sure that your process produces an output that can be measured in some way. For example, a company wanting to improve delivery speed would measure time. A data digitizing company might measure percentage of character errors in batches, or process output. Be sure to use commonly understood definitions to ensure consistency and accuracy. This guarantees reliability of information that is shared among people from different facilities or locations. Prevent misunderstandings by providing clear definitions of all variables being measured. For example, suppose a company is measuring time in days. Different branches of the same company may define “one day” in different ways. It could mean business days only, any 24 hour period, or the 8-hour work day. These kinds of inconsistencies can be misleading. Data must be collected in a similar fashion across the company. For example, if one department uses random sampling to collect data, so must all of the others. Otherwise it will be impossible to compare their data.  Also, units of measure must be defined. Be sure that units of measure are equal wherever your output is measured. For example, delivery speed could be measured either in minutes or hours, and taking time to convert one to the other would be inefficient. This just means that you shouldn't have one department rounding off time to the hour and another specifying time in hours and hundredths of an hour. Otherwise, different levels of detail in the values will confuse the results. Keep in mind that smaller units tend to give more accurate results. For example, all departments must agree how to round off decimals.

That is, move it away from the wall(s) so that there is no direct contact between your bed and said wall(s) (and therefore, no longer an easy route to your sweet, succulent blood). Cover the bed in the mattress cover (if you have one), and if your bed is on a frame or raised from the ground in some other fashion and can handle petroleum jelly on its surface, cover the legs of your frame with the petroleum jelly; these insects cannot fly and, therefore, must crawl to whatever height they reach. If there's a good bit of jelly on there, they'll get stuck and you can just wipe them off and reapply as needed. For more tips, see How to Avoid Insect Bites While Sleeping.  Make sure to keep your bed at least 1–2 feet (0.3–0.6 m) away from everything, including the wall, nightstand, books, etc. Your bed should be surrounded by space only. "Climb Up Insect Interceptor Cups" can be placed beneath beds that have four legs. The cups have two rings inside; the bug climbs into the outer ring, which is coated in a fine dust (don't inhale it) and becomes stuck there permanently, unable to grip on to the slippery sides to climb into the second ring where the leg of your bed is standing. Make sure the leg of the bed is high enough off the ground so that bed bugs can't reach. Make sure no bed sheet or comforter ever touches the floor or you will still get bitten and have to wash everything all over again. Make sure you never put something that was sitting on the floor on the bed if you don't want to wash everything again. Bed bugs can climb up any object, including the ceiling and fall onto your bed. If your infestation is severe they will even fall down from the ceiling. In that case, it's time to call the exterminator.

That is, pick a place that is a part of the person's normal routine. If you try to get them to come to the prank rather than having the prank come to them, they're more likely to be suspicious, especially on April 1.  For instance, set up the prank in their home or work, as they are most comfortable there. If you ask them to meet you somewhere or come outside, for example, they may become suspicious. By mid-morning, everyone has had a chance to realize it is April 1, so they are are on their guard. However, if you start early, you're more likely to catch people unawares, especially before they've had their morning coffee. Fooling someone is one thing, but they should be able to laugh at the joke when it's revealed. Silly and fun works much better than serious and threatening. You don't want an April Fool's joke to cost you a relationship, a job, or even worse, land you in jail. For instance, filling a room with balloons is silly. Making someone trip when they walk in the room could be more serious, especially if it leads to injury.

That is, seizures can cause a person to move in funny ways. For instance, you might see one arm stick straight out for no reason while the other one stays close to the body. This type of seizure, as with most seizures, can cause a person to move in a repetitive way. For instance, the arm might flex repeatedly, or the hips may thrust into the air. The person may rock back and forth or bicycle their legs. These kinds of movements, in coordination with the person being unresponsive to you, can indicate a seizure. These types of seizures can also cause muscle weakness. Because the frontal lobe controls movement, it can lead to strange contortions in the person's body, including her face. You may notice strange eye movement or the person making strange faces. For instance, the person may blink too much, twitch, or make chewing or swallowing motions. Ask the person a question. If the person can't talk to you or doesn't even seem to notice you are there, she may be having a seizure. However, not every seizure causes a person to be unresponsive. Sometimes, the person will stay conscious through the whole seizure. Often, frontal lobe seizures happen at night, when the person is sleeping. If you see the symptoms above when the person is sleeping, she might be having a seizure. Similarly, if you wake up suddenly with tense muscles or in an odd position, it could mean you've had a seizure, though it could also mean you had a bad dream. These type of seizures are often very short. In fact, most of the time, they last less than a minute. Keep an eye on the clock if you notice someone with these symptoms to see how long it lasts. Cluster seizures, or short bursts of seizures, sometimes occur with frontal lobe seizures. If you have several seizures in a row, it could be a symptom. If the person doesn't regain consciousness between seizures, she should be taken to a doctor, or you should call 911. Seizures often arise after trauma to the brain. However, other conditions can lead to seizures, as well, such as strokes,...

That is, sometimes, it's in your best interest to just stay silent. If telling the person won't help the situation, then you may just want to leave it alone, even if the person does irritate you.  For instance, telling a manager you don't like them probably isn't going to be all that helpful to you. Your manager holds power over your career and can make your work life miserable, so telling a manager you don't like them isn't going to be beneficial. You might also get in trouble for insubordination. In addition, you may weigh your options if the person you don't like is a family member or a friend of the family. If you're going to see the person on a regular basis, telling them you don't like them is only going to make those situations more difficult. Similarly, if the person is a mutual friend with other friends, it may make social gatherings more difficult if you tell the person you don't like them. Also, consider whether you're being fair in your dislike. Maybe you took an instant dislike to someone without getting to know them. Try getting to know the person better before making a snap judgment. No matter how you tell someone you don't want them in your life, try not to cross over into being a jerk. You can tell someone you don't enjoy their company without being mean about it, which can also help you not burn bridges.  If you're too brutal, you may have trouble making friends with other people. Word will get around. Don't be abusive or mean when you talk to the person; be as respectful and calm as possible. For instance, saying, "I can't stand to be around you." is pretty mean. Instead, try, "Our values are too different, and I don't really have time for new friends." " If you simply don't respond to a person's advances towards friendship, they'll eventually get the message. In other words, try not to engage in chatty conversation and don't agree to plans you don't want to join in on.  Also, try not to smile at the person. You don't have to frown, but smiling makes you more approachable. This approach can...

That is, when you're building a brand, you have to decide what you want people to think when they hear your name. You don't have to be fake, but you do need to decide what parts of yourself you will present to the public. In other words, you want some consistency. One example of a YouTuber who created a personal brand is Hannah Hart of My Drunk Kitchen. Her personal brand relies on a pinch of silliness with a side of compassion, as she encourages people to get involved in their communities. When building your brand, you do need to offer something to the world. You know about things, and you can use what you know. In other words, your brand can be about what you are an expert on, whether it's robots, cooking, or painting pretty nails. For instance, certain bloggers rely on their expertise to build their brand, such as Joy the Baker, who began a baking blog to share her love of baking with others. She's gained a number of followers due to her precision in cooking, her imaginative recipes, and her honest writing style. With all the social media platforms out there, it's easy to start sharing content with users. You can write blogs, tweet, make videos, or take photographs. Some people do all of the above. Basically, you want to start showing off what you know about by sharing expert content. If you're serious about creating a brand for yourself, you should consider creating your own website. That way, your fan base will have one landing place to find out all about you. Being famous is a business. That means you need to continually be on top of putting yourself out there. On the internet, networking is done through bonding with other content creators. In other words, you need to comment and share other people's content to help push yourself ahead as well. You can also try techniques such as blog tours, where you ask certain blogs (relevant to what you do) to host you as a guest. The host could interview you, or you could write a guest blog post.

That lets the other players know they only have a limited time to beat you. Other players can call on their turn, too, after you've made the call. You need to have all of your melds and your pair in place before you say mahjong. If you don't actually have mahjong, then you are disqualified for the rest of the game. Play continues without that player if the hand is disqualified. While there are many variations for how you can calculate scores, the easiest way is to just count the winning hand. Mahjong is played over many rounds, so points will add up over those rounds. If you don't want to score only the winning hand, then you score each person's hand essentially the same, but the mahjong hand gets an extra 20 points. Chows don't score any points. A pong gets 2 points if it's exposed or 4 if it's concealed, while a pong of 1s and 9s, dragons, or winds is worth 4 if exposed and 8 if concealed. Kongs are worth 8 (exposed) and 16 (concealed) or 16 and 32 if they use 1s and 9s, dragons, or winds. Each flower or season gets 4 points, while a pair dragons or your own wind gets 2 points. Typically, a game of mahjong consists of 4 rounds. Within each round, you play 4 "hands." With each hand, you play until someone gets mahjong. During this time, you rotate who deals and even the seating positions.
