Cars use up a lot of gas, so they’re not a friend to the environment. Walking or biking instead of using a car is a great way to save natural resources while saving you money. When possible, walk or bike to work, school, or shops. If it’s unsafe for you to travel on foot or bike, don’t put your safety at risk. Public transportation is a great way to travel because it moves multiple people at once. Take the bus when you can to conserve gas. To make it more fun, read, watch a movie on your phone, or make a small craft while you ride.   It might take some time to learn your city’s public transportation system. Try riding it on your off days first. If your city doesn’t have public transportation, this may not be an option for you. You can save gas while getting to school or work by being part of a carpool. Ask your coworkers or people at your school about a carpool you can join. If you can’t find one, start your own by partnering with coworkers or classmates who live near you.  You can take turns driving everyone to work or school, or you can all contribute money to buy gas for the person who drives. In some areas, the only way to get from place to place is to use a car. In that case, look for a car that gets good gas mileage. Choose an electric or hybrid car to help you do more to save resources and help the environment. Additionally, drive your car as little as possible.  When you buy a car, ask how many miles it gets for each gallon of gas. Then, compare the mileage for the cars you’re considering to pick the one with the best mileage.

Cassava-based cupcakes are perfect for those with a food allergy or that are on a particular diet but still want something sweet. Whipped egg whites will make your cassava cupcakes lighter and fluffier in texture. Cassava flour is a great flour to use when making tortillas or naan. To create tortillas, combine 1 cup (122.00 grams) of cassava flour with 1/4 tsp (1.23 ml) baking soda and a ⅔ cup (157.72 milliliters) warm water. Knead and roll out the flour into a flat sheet before cutting out round tortillas. Once you have them cut out, fry them in a pan with butter or oil for one minute on each side.  Instead of getting a grain or corn based tortilla, consider making your tortillas using cassava flour. Sweet baking recipes like brownies or cookies work well with cassava flour. If you are vegan or vegetarian and don't eat eggs, you can replace them with something like a pumpkin puree or applesauce to bind your brownies together. Create the brownies as you naturally would, and add more flour for denser, richer brownies. Cassava flour lends itself well to making pancake batter. Cassava will usually absorb more liquid than traditional flour, so keep this in mind when making your recipe. For this reason, you'll most likely have to add extra milk or eggs to the recipe that you are making. You can replace the yeast or egg that is found in traditional pizza crust with 2 tbsp baking powder. To compensate for how much liquid cassava flour can absorb, make sure to match each cup of cassava flour with a half a cup of warm water. You can also combine cassava flour with other flours like coconut flour to help it bind together.

Castor oil and olive oil can deep cleanse the pores, moisturize your skin, and prevent breakouts before they occur.  Castor and olive oil should be mixed in a 1:4 ratio. This means, for every one part castor oil there are 4 parts olive oil. For example, if you use 1 teaspoon of castor oil use 4 teaspoons of olive oil. If you use 2 teaspoons of castor oil, use 8 teaspoons of olive oil, and so on. Mix the oils together thoroughly in a bowl. Massage the oils gently into your face. Use gentle, circular motions. It's a good idea to wash your hands first. Make sure your entire face is saturated in oil. In order for the treatment to work,  you need to soak your face with hot water three separate times.  Soak a washcloth in hot water. As the washcloth is going directly on your face, the water should be hot to the touch but not boiling. You do not want to burn yourself. If the water is too hot to wring out of the cloth, then it's too hot to put on your face. Try dabbing your arm with the cloth to test the temperature before putting it on your face. Place the wash cloth on your face and leave it in place until it is cool. Repeat this process two more times. Using a clean towel or a disposable paper towel, gently wipe all remaining oil and water from your face. Your skin should be left with a healthy glow and blemishes and scars should be fainter.

Casually look around and go to closest bathroom. Here, you will be able to efficiently analyze and deal with the situation. Make sure not to draw attention to yourself. Walk casually to this location, for others might not even be aware of your troubles. Your ally can help you get to a bathroom unnoticed. They can provide you with clothes and or other solutions you may not have access to.  You may even find, after looking around the room, that you are surrounded by friends therefore panic is unwarranted. If you can't find someone else to rely on, remember that you are your best ally. Trust in your capabilities that you can get through the situation independently and successfully. Figure out how noticeable your wet spot is, and what you will need to mend it. You may find it is not visible and no action is necessary. But you may also find the situation to be dire. Take your time. If you look too fast you may over or underestimate how visible it is. Once in the bathroom, scrub out the accident as best you can. Most bathrooms include soap, water, and paper towels or hand dryer. These are the perfect tools to remove stain or smell from your clothes.  Remove the item of clothing that is blemished and scrub, by rubbing the material together, with soap and cold water in the sink. Then soak up the moisture with paper towels or a hand drier until the material is dry. Scrub gently or aggressively depending on what kind of material is blemished. If you feel uncomfortable removing any clothing, scrub out the urine as best you can and dry afterward with your clothing still on. A simple excuse of “I spilled something on myself” would also serve as an understandable explanation. Clean the skin that made contact with the urine using soap and water. This avoids future smell and the spread of bacteria. If your accident pooled on the ground/chair you should soak it up. It could give you away or someone could slip, so give it a quick clean.  Grab a good handful of paper towels from the bathroom. Lightly wet some of them with a...

Casually proposing that the two of you do something together can remove some of the anxiety and worry you may feel about asking her outright about her feelings for you. For example, you can ask her what she is doing tonight or this weekend. If her plans are open or not fixed, you can share what you would like to do and ask her if she wants to go to along with you.  If she says she’s busy, it could mean she’s not interested but it could also mean she’s actually just busy. Ask her if there are any other days that she would be free to do something and see what she says. For example, you can ask: What are you doing this weekend?” If she says “Nothing” or “I was thinking of seeing a movie,” then you can say “I was planning on going to the movies, want to go together?” If a girl is texting you about a restaurant she really wants to try, a test she is worried about, a movie she would like to see, or some school event like a party or dance, she may want you to ask her about it. Follow-up on her conversation with a subtle invitation to do the things she is interested in, with you.  For example, if she has been talking about trying a new pizza place nearby, tell her you have also been wanting to try it and suggest that you go together. If there is a school event coming up that she has been texting you about, tell her you have been looking forward to it and see if she wants to go with you. Maybe she’s been texting with you about an upcoming exam in a class you both share. This is a great opportunity for you to suggest getting together to study for it. If all else fails and you still aren’t sure how a girl feels about you, you can always just ask her directly. If she is really into you, it’s unlikely she will say “no” if you ask her about it. Depending on how bold or certain of yourself you are feeling, you can let her know you like her first, and then ask her if she feels the same.   By making the first move, you are taking the pressure off, which she might appreciate, especially if she is shy. Be prepared for her to...

Catching Pikachu in the wild is a little more difficult, but is possible. He can appear anywhere, but he has been reportedly found frequently near power plants and science museums, presumably because of his connection to electricity. If you have a power plant or another source of electricity local to you, this may be a good place to check first. Trainers have also seen Pikachu appear as late as 3am. Try waiting until very late to up your chances of encountering Pikachu in the wild. When Pikachu is near, you'll see its silhouette appear in the sidebar in the bottom-right corner of your screen. If you see a Pikachu silhouette in your nearby list and then see rustling grass on your map, you may be in luck. Head to the grass and a Pikachu may appear. It's time to try to catch it! Swipe the Pokéball towards Pikachu to attempt to capture it. If you don't miss, and if Pikachu doesn't burst out of the ball, it's yours!

Catering a party is a great way to enable you to hold the celebration in a familiar and intimate setting while removing the stress of cooking and cleaning up.  Call your local caterer to see if there is a minimum number of guests required at the party or money that must be spent at the caterer. You don’t want to be blindsided by a higher-than-expected food bill! Peruse your menu options, and ensure there is food that your guests would enjoy. Call around to find a reasonably priced caterer. It is always advantageous to get several price quotes from several different companies before settling on a caterer. Cooking your own food can be a wonderful way to pay tribute to your guest of honor, or simply to treat him or her with their favorite foods. Cooking your own party food can also be a subtle way to deal with any dietary issues that your guest of honor may have, without having to deal with them publicly at a restaurant.  If your guest of honor loved to cook, serving an old family recipe can bring back good memories and create meaningful conversation. If your honoree comes from a certain cultural background, making food that can serve of a reminder of a homeland, possibly one not visited in a while, may be appreciated. If your guest of honor loves to try new or unique food, think of something creative that he or she might  not have had for a long time- think sushi, ostrich burgers, calamari, lavender crème brulee- the possibilities are endless! Ask your guest of honor what he or she would pick if the dining possibilities were endless! This is the best way to ensure that the meal will make the 90th birthday celebration a special one. In many cases, it is possible to work with the restaurant to create a “set menu,” which will enable you to include some of the celebrant’s favorite dishes while still providing your guests with a selection.  Consider asking if anyone attending has any dietary issues or food allergies. Some common food allergies include gluten and shellfish, so make sure you are aware of guests with...

Catfish are less active when the water is cold, so the best time to start fishing is when water levels rise and the water warms to about fifty degrees in the spring. You can continue fishing until it gets cold again.  Experiment to find the best time of year to go catfishing in your region. In some places the season may start earlier, and in other places the water doesn't warm up until early summer. Blue catfish, which live in the Southern United States, are active all winter long, so you don't have to pause during the colder months if you're fishing in that region. Catfish are more active very early in the morning, so plan to start your fishing expedition before sunrise, or even earlier. They tend to feed during these hours.  Fishing at night can also yield a large catch. If you like to stay up all night on the water, try fishing starting around one or two in the morning. You might find some catfish later in the day if it's overcast or raining, but if there's full sun, the fish are likely to be less active. Catfish like to dwell in places where a current meets a still area, so they can rest without fighting the current. "Covered" areas can be found where the current hits a large log or rock, usually near the bank of a river. Other resting places might be found near dams or other man-made structures in the water.  In smaller rivers and streams, look for eddies created by rocks and fallen logs toward the middle of the water. If you're fishing in a pond or reservoir, look for areas near feeder creeks, very deep spots, and fallen logs and boulders. Once you've chosen the spot where you want to start fishing, drop your anchor, set up your equipment, cast your line and wait for a bite.

Catfish are nocturnal, so they tend to wake up in the late afternoon or early evening. Place the food in the tank before you go to bed to ensure that the catfish are awake when you feed them. This helps to ensure that your bullhead catfish receives enough protein and vitamins. Any flakes or pellets designed for fish will work well for catfish. Follow the feeding instructions on the back of the packet. Bullhead catfish are scavengers and enjoy a varied diet. Chop the fresh fruit and vegetables into 0.75 in (1.9 cm) cubes, so that they will fit into catfish's mouth. Drop the produce into the tank and wait for the fish to search it out in the bottom of the tank.  Feed the fish a maximum of ½ cup (~25 g) of produce each day. If the fish stop eating the food, this shows that they are full. Bullhead catfish thrive off organic produce and fish pellets because they don't contain any pesticides. Look for products that are spray-free or organically grown to help the fish reach optimum health.

Catfish tend to be lured by smelly bait. When selecting the proper bait for your trap, opt for something that produces a strong odor. Some options include chad, chicken liver, night crawlers, and crawfish. Do you know roughly how big the catfish in your area tend to be? If not, ask other fishermen or look up information on your local Department of Natural Resources website. You can also try observing catfish in a nearby pond for a few days. Depending on the size of the catfish, you'll need a different sized reel.  Light duty reels should be sufficient if the catfish in your area tend to be smaller. For larger catfish, go for a heavy duty reel. If catfish in your area come in many different sizes, it may be a good idea to opt for heavy duty reel just to play it safe. You may not need a long rod when fishing for catfish in a pond. While it will not hurt, longer rods are usually better suited for catching catfish in streams. A shorter rod, less than six to eight inches, should work for catching catfish in a pond. When it comes to fishing line, go for 10 pound test line. This allows you to get the bait towards the bottom of a body of water. Catfish tend to hang out deep under the water. A sinker is a weight used to sink a fishing line. When catching catfish, always use the lightest weight sinker available. A lightweight sinker will allow the catfish to taste the bait without feeling the weight of the sinker. If your sinker is too heavy, a catfish will likely become suspicious and drop the bait. As you generally don't use things like worms to catch catfish, make sure your hooks have bait holders. The types of bait you'll be using, like crawfish or chicken liver, cannot be easily hooked onto a fishing rod.

Catnip has been known to repel cockroaches. Place catnip in small bags or sachets and scatter them through your home. Make sure to place sachets up high, like on shelves, in high cabinets, and on high surfaces. Cockroaches congregate in high places. Place catnip in a small amount of water and let it simmer. Then, place this liquid in a spray bottle. Spray this catnip solution on baseboards, in cabinets, under sinks and refrigerators, and anywhere else you have seen roaches. Don’t use this spray if you have cats. There are a few substances cockroaches don’t like that help repel them. Bay leaves, cucumbers, and garlic have been found to help deter cockroaches from infesting a home. Place these items around your home to get rid of the cockroaches. Bay leaves and garlic won’t spoil easily, but cucumbers will. Make sure to place cucumbers in a place where you can remember and easily change them.

Cats and dogs are great for taking care of any unwanted insects that might sneak into your home. They are much better at finding insects than humans, so if there is a cricket hiding in your home, let your pet do the hard work. Keep in mind that keeping a pet is a big commitment. You shouldn’t get a cat or dog for the sole purpose of killing crickets. If you have lots of damp areas in your home, identify them, and try to reduce them if possible. Crickets love moisture, so fixing any problems that may lead to excess moisture will be important.  Crickets are also attracted to bright lights, so replace any outdoor lights (e.g. porch lights) with yellow bulbs or sodium vapor bulbs that will be less appealing. Look for any points of entry as well. For example, maybe there is a window that doesn’t seal shut. Check your door frames to make sure that there are no spots that a cricket could get through. If you live in an area where insects are a common problem, you can probably find a pest control company that will come and spray your home with an insecticide a few times a year. If you are struggling with a cricket infestation, this may be the easiest way to deal with the problem.  Make sure that any pest control company you hire is licensed in your state. If you have pets, be sure to let the company know, and ask them if their products are safe for humans, children, and pets.

Cats can be easy or difficult to train. Dogs are more eager to please their owners, which makes them generally easier to train than cats. However, cats can be trained as long as you understand how cats think and interact with their humans. Training a cat takes a lot of patience, especially since it is so hard to motivate him. Every cat has something that will make him learn to listen to you. This key to training is called your cat’s motivator. This generally means the tastiest treat that he absolutely loves and goes crazy over. For some cats, this can be flakes of tuna while for others, a tiny taste of cooked chicken will do the trick.  Whichever treat you use, have it on hand and ready to reward the moment your cat obeys your command. Never strike a cat if he doesn’t do what you want him to do. He will end up resenting you for it and refuse to listen to you. The first step to disciplining your cat is first to make him listen to you. This won’t happen unless you develop a warm, loving relationship with your cat. This cannot be stressed enough. It's important to set up a good rapport with your cat from the beginning of your relationship. This will ensure that he respects you, will want to please you, and will listen to your commands. If you are just acquiring a cat, give him lots of attention. Spend time cuddling with him if he responds to that. If not, try to talk to him and pet him as much as you can, and give him treats once in a while. This may take a few days to a few weeks, depending on how long he takes to warm up to you and his new environment. Although it's important to discipline your cat as soon as any bad behavior starts, take the time to consider who you're dealing with. There are some cat specific factors that may affect how your pet reacts to your attempts at discipline.  If you have a kitten, you should expect him to be very rambunctious, curious, and inexperienced. It may take longer for a kitten to learn right and wrong, so be patient as he figures it out.

Cats can make as many as 16 different meows. Paying attention to the different sounds can help you better communicate with your cat.  A short meow is typically a greeting. Multiple meows signal excitement A mid-pitch meow is a request, likely for food. A deep “Mrow” is usually a complaint. A high pitch “Rroww!” is an indication of anger or pain. A long drawn out “mrrroww” is usually a demand. In nature, cats only meow as kittens to get attention for their mothers. When they realize you do not respond to their other signals, they learn to meow. Often the meow is a way to communicate something the cat wants, but it can have other meanings as well.  Most frequently your cat’s meow is trying to articulate a request. A meow often means that they want food, attention, or to be allowed into a room. A meow can also signal distress. Cats vocalize when they are in heat, lonely, stressed, angry, or in pain. They also become more vocal when they get older. Other times a meow is a simple greeting similar to a “hello.” Some of the most important ways that cats communicate are through body language.  Cats, for example, have a complex language of signals that they make with their tails.  When a cat looks you in the eyes and makes a long, slow blink, they are showing affection. This is sometimes compared to a kiss. A cat approaching you with their tail in the air is a greeting that suggests your cat is happy to see you. This has been compared to a handshake.  If the fur on your cats hair is standing up, this is a sign that they are angry or afraid. When your cat's tail is low, or between their legs, they are insecure or anxious. A tail thrashing back and forth is a sign that your cat is angry. The faster they move it back and forth, the angrier they are.

Cats have an extremely sensitive larynx and if it goes into laryngeal spasm, the airway can be shut off completely, asphyxiating the cat. There is no time to be waiting for a vet's assistance. However, call the vet both for advice and to warn them that you will be coming in if possible. Leave only the head exposed. This will support the cat and control its front limbs. Angle the cat's head back slightly to be able to open up her mouth and see better inside. Use one finger to depress the lower jaw. Use tweezers to remove an object that is obvious. If you can't see what is causing the blockage or it's too deeply lodged or wedged in, do not attempt to remove it.  Do not stick your fingers into the cat's mouth. Not only could you be bitten but you might cause the choking object to be pushed in further. Having a helper to hold down the cat can be a huge help for you. Use the palm of your hand to thump the cat gently but firmly between the shoulder blades. Alternatively, you can apply several quick, squeezing compressions on both sides of its ribcage. To administer squeezing compressions, do the following:  Sit down on the floor with the cat in front of you but facing away from you. Lift the cat's hind legs and hold them between your knees. Place one hand on either side of the cat's chest and squeeze with sufficient firmness to compress the chest by a third.Do not apply excessive force - it may break her ribs. When squeezing, use jerky movements.  The aim is to try to get the cat to cough. Squeeze four to five times; this should be enough to get her to cough out the obstruction. Your cat may faint or become unconscious in response to the lack of oxygen. If so, do the following:  Open up its jaws as wide as possible. There won't be any damage from opening the jaws up wide. Look for an obstruction. If it is easy to see and not wedged in, use tweezers to remove it. In this case, you could use your fingers but only if you're able to avoid putting pressure on the object, as it could wedge it further into the airway....

Cats love sleeping, having alone time, playing, and cleanliness. Preparing comfortable and clean spaces for your cat can help her relax and more readily accept you as her caregiver and “parent.”  You may want to prepare a cozy bed for your cat. You can either buy a cushy pet bed or even make one yourself. Cats love boxes and making a bed out of a box with some blankets or towels in it may just be the trick. Consider putting something you wear in the bed to help her get used to your scent. Make sure your kitty has a clean and new litter box.  You may want to create a space where your kitty can play. For example, you could purchase a scratching post or have a box of toys she can chew and fetch that you put in an easily accessible area of your living room.  Have another space designated for her food dishes. This can encourage her to eat in one place and lets her know that her meals will always be in the same place. Your cat's health relies in part on getting regular and healthy food. But you can also use her feedings to help establish your bond and help her love you.  Consider feeding your kitty at the same time every day so that she gets into a routine and can approach you when the time(s) comes. Feed your cat a mixture of canned wet food, from which she can also get some moisture, and dry food. You can either mix these or put them in the different dishes. Give your kitty a bowl of water, too. Make sure to fill the dish with fresh and clean water every day. Many feline health professionals recommend feeding your cat at specific mealtimes as opposed to free feeding, which can make her gain weight. It's best to not feed your cat table scraps, which can upset her stomach. If your cat is hesitant to come near you, place a cat treat on your hand, call her name, and let the cat eat it. This can show her that she can trust you and enjoy your company. Be careful feeding your cat too many treats, which are often filled with sugar and can contribute to unhealthy weight gain. If you are concerned about this, consider...

Cats love to rub against screens, whether it’s to leave their scent or as a way to get closer to the outdoors. Unfortunately, if your screen isn’t sturdy, your cat can push right through and escape.  If you’re concerned that the problem is the frame that holds the screen in place, anchor it more securely to the window frame by driving in screws or nails. If you need a quick fix, lay strips of duct tape around the outside of the window until you can come up with a more permanent solution. If your screen opens, your cat may have an easier time pushing through it. Childproofing window latches are a great option to make your screen more secure, and they are usually fast and easy to install. Look for childproofing window latches at a home improvement store, or search for them online. If you’re worried that your existing screen isn’t strong enough to hold your cat in, you can purchase a heavy-duty screen with tear-resistant mesh at most hardware stores. This is a great option if your cat hangs out near a window that’s especially high.

Cats may stop using the litter box after a scary experience in the area, such as a loud noise or harassment by another pet. They may also dislike the spot you chose after moving the litter box, or moving to a new home. Keep the litter box in a quiet, low-traffic spot where the cat can see people coming. Choose a room with at least two exits so the cat doesn't feel cornered.  Keep litter boxes away from food and water bowls. Cats do not like to combine these two areas. Signs that your cat may have had an unpleasant experience in the litter box including running quickly in and out of the litter box, or using an area near the litter box. Try moving the box to a new room if you notice this. Keep at least one litter box on every floor of a multistory home. Play with your cat in the same general area as the litter box. Leave toys (but not food) in the room so the cat spends time there and develops positive associations. You can bring the cat to the litter box to investigate on its own, but do not drop it inside or reward it with treats for using it. These tactics can backfire by making the cat uncomfortable or afraid. Unlike dogs, cats should choose the litter box on their own, especially if they used one in the past. If your cat perches on the edge of the box or eliminates right next to it, the box might be too dirty for it. Remove clumps and top up with fresh litter at least once a day, preferably twice. Rinse the litter box once a week with baking soda or unscented soap.  If you use non-clumping litter, change the whole box every couple days to prevent odor build up, which can drive away the cat.  Do not clean the litter box with scented products. Do not use a disinfectant unless it is specifically made for litter boxes, as many of them contain chemicals toxic to cats. If you bought a different kind of litter, introduce it slowly. Mix a little of it in with the old type, and gradually increase the proportion each time you change the litter box. Cats usually find it easier to adjust to unscented litter with a...

Cats naturally love to chase and catch objects. Toss small lightweight toys across the room for your cat to chase, catch, and manipulate through batting or pawing.  Use items from around your house such as ping pong balls or wadded up pieces of paper if you don’t have any toys. Make sure to get your cat’s attention before you throw the object so that she can anticipate the direction she needs to run. Consider faking her out by moving your hand in a throwing motion and then saying her name as you throw the object towards or away from her. Shine a laser light on walls and on objects around the room. Your cat will chase the light, so fast and erratic movements will keep his attention. Shining the light high on a wall will provoke your cat to jump high in an attempt to "catch" the light. Make sure to not shine the light in your cats eyes and award her with an actual toy to grab when you are done with the laser.  Consider teaching your cat to fetch. Although most cats won’t fetch like a dog, you may be able to teach your kitty to bring back objects you have thrown to her. Many stores sell wand toys, which are made up of a stick with a toy attached by a string. Wiggle the stick to flutter the toy and watch your cat go crazy trying to catch it.  Pull the toy away just as your cat is about to catch it to keep the game interesting for her. You can also move it in different directions to keep her guessing and interested. Make sure to allow her to catch the toy on occasion. Remove any objects, such as feathers, from the wand toy that your cat could remove with her claw or swallow. Wiggle a long piece of yarn or string in front of your cat. Pull it across the floor and make it dash back and forth. She’ll likely enjoy chasing after you to catch the string.  Tie several pieces of yarn at the end of the string to a small puffball your cat can enjoy. Store any string or yarn toys away from your cat when you are not supervising her play. This can minimize the risk of her swallowing them and harming herself. Close a door...

Cats will usually only be fertile during the spring and summer, though indoor cats who are exposed to a lot of artificial light may be fertile year round. Ovulation in cats is provoked by the act of mating, and if the cat doesn't ovulate, the cycle of fertile stages will probably repeat several times. Some cats won't demonstrate signs of this cycle in the presence of their owner, so pay attention to the tomcats in the neighborhood too - they will turn up when a female is in heat. The stages of the estrous cycle, excluding anestrus, which is when the cat isn't fertile in the winter are:  Proestrus - this stage may last one to two days, but may be as short as an hour, and isn’t seen in all cats. During this period, she may call to the tom, roll and rub on the ground, but won’t allow the tom near her. Estrus - this stage usually lasts about a week, and is when the queen should be taken to the tom for mating. The primary sign of this period is her vocal call to the male with a specific type of yowl. This sound is generally a short-ish, plaintive, hollow sounding yowl that sounds almost like “aah-roo-ugh?” (though it can vary between breeds, so be sure to check with a breeder who is familiar with your breed) and will be accompanied by the cat doing all she can to get to any toms in the area.   Interestrus - if the cat did not ovulate she will enter this period, which usually lasts about a week before estrous or estrus periods return. She will show no sign of reproductive activity during interestrus. The owner of the stud will usually take care of these arrangements, but knowing what to expect is a good idea. No reputable stud owner will hide any of his preparations from you, and you should check to make sure the owner knows what to do.  The tom needs a place to escape to just after mating takes place as the female often reacts viciously. Be prepared to hear a bloodcurdling shriek from the female - this is normal.  Immediately after mating, the female will probably frantically groom herself for about an hour,...

First, read the English article below.

Cat’s generally respond better to shorter, pleasant-sounding names.  While you might have your heart set on “Princess FluffyBottom McPhee,” you should probably shorten it to “Fluffy” for training purposes.  If you are adamant that your cat’s moniker “Sir William the Vicious of Belvedere” cannot be shortened, you could just train him to come to “kitty.”  Don’t change your cat’s name once it has become used to it. This will just confuse the cat. The introduction of new nicknames can also confuse your cat.  Consistency is key. You can start training your cat when it is still a kitten, and the younger the cat is, the more receptive it will be to learning its name.  An older cat can still learn new tricks, of course, but perhaps not as quickly. Remember that verbal praise is not going to impress or motivate your cat. Instead, you need to provide immediate, tangible rewards that your cat enjoys.  A cat will always appreciate a tasty food treat like a bit of tuna or cheese, a spoonful of wet food, or a commercial cat treat.  Cats will also respond to nonfood rewards if it’s something they really enjoy, like a bout of laser pointer tag, or a hearty scratch behind the ears.  The kind of reward that works best will depend on the cat, so prepare to do some experimentation. Make sure you have enough kitty treats on hand to get through the training process. Dogs are easy to train because they are social creatures that want to please humans, and feel rewarded by a simple “Good dog!” or other verbal praise.  Most cats, on the other hand, are less concerned about what you think of them, and more interested in what you are going to do for them.  Cats respond well to rewards and can readily learn new tricks if you are patient with them and offer them something they really want when they do well.

Caulk is tremendously sticky stuff — it's liable to bind to any "loose" object it touches. Because of this, it's very important to ensure that both your wall and your baseboard are clean before caulking. Dirt, dust, grease, and grime can mix with or stick to your caulk and make it look unappealing. More importantly, however, they can interfere with the ability of the caulk to bind to the surfaces you do want it to stick to. Since one of the uses of baseboard caulking is to prevent water damage, a tight seal is a must.   Use water or a household cleaner like Formula 409 to give your floor, baseboard, and wall a thorough cleaning. Try not to use soap with water, as this combination can leave a slick film on your surfaces, making it difficult for your caulk to stick. For floors that have accumulated lots of dust, vacuuming is one additional quick, efficient cleaning option. If you have the option, try using your vacuum's long, skinny "hard-to-reach-places" attachment to remove dust from corners. While caulking is by no means a dangerous process, it is one that can be frustrating if you are forced to re-do work you've already done. To minimize the risk of avoidable mistakes, ensure that your work area is completely clear of furniture, rugs, and other potential obstructions before beginning. If you have children or pets, you'll also want to make sure they're kept out of your work area by setting up barriers or getting another person to monitor them. Nothing's worse than stopping your project to clean caulk out of a screaming toddler's hair. When you caulk your baseboards, mistakes are inevitable. If it's your very first time, they'll be common. Luckily, when it comes to caulking, it's hard to make serious mistakes. For the vast majority of the errors you'll make, the old-fashioned combination of water and rags will suffice, though many household cleaners will also work well.   Additionally, since you'll be on your hands and knees for most of the caulking process, rags can be used as knee pads to provide comfort....

Center the record atop the first pane of glass. Take the second sheet and place it on top of the record, essentially sandwiching the record between the glass panes. It’ll be easier to pick up the glass sheets afterwards if you leave one of their corners hanging off of the table as you set it up. Depending on your oven, preheating should take between 10-15 minutes. Once the oven has reached the right temperature, carefully slide the record and glass combination onto the oven rack. Don’t push the glass too far into the oven; this will make it easier to retrieve later.  Make sure the glass is at room temperature before putting it in the oven, otherwise it might shatter.  Use oven mitts to avoid possible burns. Any longer than this and the record could melt. Keep a close eye on the record as it warms. If you notice any strange smells or noises, remove the record quickly. Use oven mitts as the glass will be hot to the touch. Place the glass panes on a flat surface, such as a table or countertop. To avoid damage to your surface, you may want to place a potholder, towel or cutting board between it and the glass. This constant pressure, combined with the heat, is what will help repair the record. Leave the object on the glass pane until it cools. Once the glass has cooled, you can remove the record. If the record still shows significant warping, try repeating the above steps until it has been fixed. Otherwise, try placing it in a record player to see if you’ve been able to repair the damage.

Central inverters are the oldest and most common solar inverter type. These inverters are also usually the most reliable option, as they function well in harsh climates and have been researched the most by environmental scientists. Central inverters can cost between $1500-2400 USD. String inverters are a newer form of central inverters that connect a group of small panels together so they function as one. They are also usually cheaper than central inverters and the most budget-friendly inverter choice.  String inverters may cost between $1400-2000 USD String inverters work best on houses with a flat roof. Compared to power optimizers and microinverters, string inverters are an older technology. This type of solar inverter is embedded into the solar cell, which helps them work in shady locations. Choose power optimizers if your home receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight with periods of partial shade in-between.  Power optimizers may cost $2000+ USD, depending on the strength of the device. Like all solar panels, power optimizers will not work in perpetually cloudy environments. Microinverters generally last longer than other solar panel types. Unlike other inverters, which stop working if a single panel fails, microinverters keep working with a broken panel. Because of their long lifespan, however, microinverters are also the most expensive option.  Microinverters can cost up to $2300-2500 USD. Microinverters are often easiest to install.

Certain breeds have a higher risk of congenital deafness (being born deaf) than other breeds. These includes Dalmatians, Australian cattle dogs, Cocker spaniels, English setters, Beagles, Border terriers, Boston terriers, English bulldogs, poodles, Papillons, Pointers, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and Shetland sheepdogs. Keep in mind that regardless of breed, all puppies are deaf until around 10-14 days of age. After this point, their ear canals open up and they should have full hearing. He may not be able to hear their squeals that will indicate to him that he is being too rough. If your puppy is deaf, he may also be the last in the litter to feed because he will not hear the food bowls being put down. While his litter mates may quickly respond to the rustle of the food bag, a deaf puppy will likely be oblivious to the sound or stay asleep. In general, deaf puppies are harder to train because they don't hear your commands. But, you need to distinguish between downright disobedience and deafness in your pup by using visual commands. For example, if during play your puppy bites too hard - instead of squealing or yelling, try blowing hard on his face while at the same time holding up a hand in the "stop" position. If the puppy is obedient, but deaf, he will quickly learn that a palm facing towards him means an unpleasant puff on his face, and ease off on the biting. A deaf puppy's ears aren't as mobile as a hearing dog’s. Whereas a hearing dog moves his ears to localize a sound, making them prick up or twitch to one side, a deaf puppy does not do this. As part of the ageing process, dogs can lose their hearing and go deaf.  Your dog may be going deaf if he does not wake up like he usually does when you get home from work, or if he is no longer afraid of loud sounds like the vacuum cleaner, thunderstorms, or fireworks. An older dog going deaf also may not as obedient as he once was, failing to come when called, or not responding to commands when he cannot see you or understand you by looking, rather than hearing.

Certain foods can help you lose weight. In general, these are known as “anti-inflammatory” foods, which are used because having extra weight is an inflammatory condition. To follow this diet switch to organic foods as much as possible. These contain no pesticides or other chemicals, like hormones and antibiotics, that may be related to an increased risk of inflammation.  Limit the amount of processed and prepackaged food you eat as well. You want to limit the additives and preservatives that can cause some people increased inflammation if they have sensitivity to these additives and preservatives. It may take some extra practice and planning, but the closer you can get to cooking from scratch, using whole foods that have not been processed (and therefore retain most of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients) the healthier you will be. A rule of thumb is that if the food is too white, like white bread, white rice, white pasta, it has been processed. Instead, eat whole grain breads, brown rice, and whole grain pasta. About ⅔ of your total food should be fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Fruits and vegetables contain high levels of antioxidants, which may decrease inflammation.  Choose brightly colored fruits and vegetables for the highest level of antioxidants.  These include: berries (blueberries, raspberries), apples, plums, oranges and citrus fruit (Vitamin C is an excellent anti-oxidant), leafy green vegetables, both winter and summer squash, and bell peppers. Fresh is best, but frozen vegetables and fruits can definitely be used. Avoid eating vegetables in any sort of creamy sauces that may add fats to your diet. Avoid fruits that have sugar or heavy syrup (with added sugars) You should be aiming for a minimum of 20 – 35 gm of fiber daily. High fiber foods include:  Whole grains like brown rice, bulgar wheat, buckwheat, oats, millet, quinoa. Fruits, particularly those that you can eat with the skin — e.g. apples, pears, figs, dates, grapes, berries of all kinds. Vegetables, especially leafy green...

Certain foods don’t reheat well in the microwave, especially ones that are supposed to be crispy or have a crust. Foods that are good to reheat in the microwave are ones that have a lot of moisture, such as:  Soups Steamed vegetables Boiled vegetables Casseroles Rice Stews Larger items will take longer to cook, and if you try to reheat large and small items at the same time, the smaller items will be overcooked and the larger ones undercooked.  You can either cut larger items into smaller pieces, or precook them before recombining the dish. For instance, if you're reheating a large piece of meat and some vegetables, cook the meat first, or cut the meat into smaller bites and cook it with the vegetables. Spread the food out in a single layer to ensure even cooking time. Make sure the dish is safe for the microwave, and doesn’t contain any metal. Dishes that are microwave-safe include glass and ceramic ones. Food cooked in the microwave is at risk of drying out, so it’s important to cover the food. Some microwave dishes come with lids, but if you don’t have one, cover the dish with a damp towel or paper towel. This will help keep in moisture. For dishes with lids, only close the lid partially to allow steam to escape. For smaller servings, set the microwave to cook for one to two minutes. For larger servings, cook for three to four minutes. After that time, stir the food to distribute the heat, and then check the temperature. Cook for in additional one- to two-minute intervals until the food is hot. Stir in between each interval. Microwaves tend to have hot and cold spots, which is why stirring is so important.

Certain foods may trigger acne. If you notice outbreaks after eating certain kinds of food, try cutting back to see if there is an improvement. Always talk to your healthcare provider before eliminating entire food groups, as this can cause nutritional deficiencies. Try cutting out all dairy products, especially lactose-rich items like milk and ice cream. Dairy can contribute to oily skin and cause acne breakouts. Incorporate almond milk, coconut milk, or other non-dairy products into your diet. Research has shown that carbohydrate-rich diets may trigger acne. Reduce bread, pasta, potatoes and refined grains if you suspect this is contributing to acne. Substitute salad greens or vegetables for carbohydrates. Studies show that chocolate may worsen breakouts. Try carob, or satisfy your sweet-tooth with fresh fruit. Contrary to popular myth, ingesting greasy foods will not cause acne. The grease from these foods will, however, cause topical skin irritation if you are preparing them. Standing over a fryer or touching your face after handling greasy food will cause oily skin.

Certain foods seem to affect the prostate gland negatively and increase blood levels of PSA. More specifically, diets rich in dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt) and animal fat (meat, lard, butter) have been linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. Therefore, switching to a healthy diet that's low in saturated fat and high in antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of prostate cancer and lower PSA levels.  Dairy products seem to trigger higher levels of an insulin-like growth factor, which has been connected to high PSA levels and poor prostate health. Other foods to avoid include sugar, saturated fats, fried foods, eggs, potatoes that are not organic, alcohol, and foods from cans with BPA lining. When you eat meat, opt for lower-fat varieties such as turkey and chicken. Low-fat diets may also be connected to improved prostate health overall and reduce the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlargement). Substitute fish for meat more often. Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, herring) are rich in omega-3 fats, which have been linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Dark blue/purple berries and grapes, as well as dark green veggies, tend to be highest in antioxidants, which prevent the damaging effects of oxidation on tissues, organs, and glands (such as the prostate). Along with changing your diet, make sure to avoid exposure to environmental toxins as much as possible. Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, which is a carotenoid (plant pigment and antioxidant) that protects tissues from stress and helps them utilize energy better. Diets rich in tomatoes and tomato products (such as tomato sauces and pastes) are linked to lower risks of prostate cancer and contribute to reducing PSA levels circulating in the blood. Lycopene appears to be more bioavailable (easier for the body to absorb and utilize)  when tomatoes are cooked such as when it's in processed products like tomato paste and tomato puree.  Some research indicates that more lycopene may be bioavailable from diced tomatoes...

Certain hair products, shampoos, and conditioners, are believed to help keep hair looking full and healthy.  You may have to try a few different products before you find one that works best for your hair and hairstyle.  Try looking for some of the following qualities:  Look for products labeled “volumizing shampoo.” Avoid “conditioning shampoos,” as these can make the hair appear less full or heavy. Avoid “intensive conditioners.”  These may be too heavy and cause your hair to look less full. Try to find conditioners that are designed for fine hair. Products that contain biotin or silica may help as well. Being under stress can increase hair loss.  Stress may cause your hair follicles to go into a resting phase, resulting in thinner hair coverage.  Hair loss caused by stress can be reversed by reducing that stress. This, of course, may be difficult to do with a new baby. Make sure you are asking for help when you need it and your partner is helping you as much as possible. Ask your hairstylist to cut your hair in a new style, that makes it look fuller.  Remember that hair loss caused during post-pregnancy is temporary, and that you can always restyle your hair once it starts recovering. Longer hairstyles can make hair loss more noticeable. Your diet can have an effect on the health of your hair.  By eating certain foods you can help ensure that you have healthy hair.  Try monitoring your diet for the following vitamins and minerals:  Protein. Hair is made up of protein. Getting enough protein in your diet will help keep your hair strong. Iron.  If you eat meat, try consuming lean meat for a healthy source of iron.  Vegetarian sources of iron include soybeans, lentils, and spinach. Flavonoids and antioxidants.

Certain hamster species should be kept alone, in separate cages, and away from other species. Certain species can also only socialize if they are of the same gender. Take your hamster to the vet to confirm her species, or ask the pet store where you purchased your hamster about her species.  Syrian hamsters, also called Golden hamsters, are the most common species, and the largest of the species. They come in a variety of colors, though the most common is a golden, light brown coat with black spots and a white underbelly. They also have beady eyes, large ears, and short tails. Syrian hamsters should never be kept together as they are territorial and solitary creatures. These aggressive tendencies start to develop when Syrian hamsters are between 6 and 8 weeks old. Once they reach 8 weeks, they should be housed on their own in separate cages.  Dwarf hamsters are the second most common species and are smaller than Syrian hamsters. Dwarf hamsters have a dark strip of fur running from their head down to their tail and are often brown in color, unless they are albino, then they will be all white. Dwarf hamsters usually prefer to live socially, in pairs or groups. But their sociability varies, and some dwarf hamsters prefer to live alone. Chinese Dwarf hamsters are the third most common species. They are small, about 4-5 inches long, with silky gray-brown fur and black stripes down their backs. These hamsters are sometimes mistaken for mice, as they have longer tails than other hamster species. Their long tails make them great jumpers and climbers. They enjoy human interaction, but don't usually play well with other hamsters, so keep only one per a cage. They are also nocturnal, so they will run around and make noise at night.  Please note that there is no such thing as hamster breeds. There are only hamster species and colorings. The best rule of thumb is to keep hamsters of the same gender together and separate hamsters of different genders in separate cages. Hamsters of the same gender tend to fight and squabble...

Certain items can cause harm to your puppy if chewed or swallowed. It is important to make sure that there are no objects within reach which can harm your puppy. Make sure you hide:  String Electrical wires Children’s toys and figurines Shoes, socks, and other items of clothing Plastic bags Plants Taste deterrent is a spray that makes your furniture taste bad to your puppy. This will teach the puppy not to chew the furniture. You can find taste deterrent at your local pet store or vet.  Taste deterrents often come in flavors like bitter apple or bitter cherry. Some might be spicy. When you first buy taste deterrent, spray a little on a tissue. Let your dog sniff and taste it. This will teach them to avoid chewing things with the same smell. You can then spray the deterrent on your furniture. Young puppies need constant supervision. To make sure that they are chewing on their toys and not furniture or dangerous items, always watch them while they are chewing or playing. If the puppy starts to chew on something they shouldn’t, interrupt them loudly. Give them their chew toy instead. Praise them if they start chewing the toy. If they keep chewing the furniture, physically remove them from the spot. It is important that your puppy does not learn to nip you instead of their toys. While it is natural for the puppy to nip, you should discourage this behavior. When the puppy bites, make a loud yelping noise (like “ouch” or “no”). Take your hand away from them, and walk away for a second. Your puppy will begin to learn bite inhibition. You should have a room or area in your home where you can put the puppy when you are not there. This should be a safe area where there is nothing that the puppy can chew or destroy. When you put the puppy in there, place a chew toy or two in with them so that they can chew on it while you’re not home.  A laundry room or bathroom might be good for this purpose.

If you think your medication may be causing fatigue, speak to your doctor. He/she they may be able to switch your medication to a non-drowsy alternative. Sometimes fatigue is related to depression - either because the fatigue is a symptom of depression or because the depressed person finds themselves unable to sleep. If you feel depressed, speak to a doctor and know that several effective treatment options exist, such as counselling or cognitive behavior therapy. Fatigue is sometimes just a symptom of a more serious underlying issue, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, sleep apnea, arthritis and heart disease.

Challenge yourself to find a new skill in the office, gym, kitchen, or garage. Pick something you are interested in and try to master it. This will help you to achieve a goal, build confidence in your abilities, and improves your mental fitness.  Most jobs require some adaptation over time. Taking time to learn a new skill can keep you in control of your career path, boost your self-esteem, and keep your mind sharp. Lifelong learners are able to keep up with rapidly changing times and face the ever evolving challenges of modernity. Acquiring a new skill will help keep your mind operating at a high level, decrease the risk of cognitive impairment, and the overall enjoyment of better mental health. Stress is a part of live and is unavoidable, however, understanding what triggers your stress is important in dealing with it while keeping your mental strength intact. A balanced lifestyle is the most immediate way of handling stress, but if you find stress debilitating then you might have to go a step further and reduce stress by trying yoga or breathing exercises.  Perform yoga as a way to help you experience your true nature – thoughts, feelings, and emotions – as a way to help you interact with the stressful environment. In short, it could factor in your quality of life. Taking short, three minute breaks a few times every day to stop what you are doing and inhale and exhale deeply can help clarify your thoughts, calm you down, and make you more productive. Make sure you find a quiet space so that you can concentrate on breathing as the air circulates throughout your entire body. Take time everyday to try and experience all of your senses.

Chamomile is an herb commonly used to help relieve anxiety, nausea, and insomnia. Drinking a warm cup of chamomile tea before bedtime can help you get a comfortable, full night’s sleep, reducing daytime drowsiness. To make chamomile tea, steep a tablespoon (2–3 grams) of dried chamomile flowers in 1 cup (240 mL) of boiling water for 10 minutes, then strain the tea and drink it before going to bed.  Ask your doctor before using chamomile if you are taking other medications or herbs for insomnia, if you have low blood pressure, or if you are pregnant. Avoid chamomile if you are allergic to flowers in the daisy family. Lemon balm is an herb often used to reduce anxiety and promote sleep. It is also often combined with other calming, soothing herbs, such as valerian and chamomile, to help promote relaxation. Lemon balm is available as a dietary capsule supplement with a recommended dose of 300 to 500 mg tablets that should be taken 3 times daily, or as needed.  To make your own tea using lemon balm, steep 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) of dried lemon balm in 1 cup (240 mL) of boiling water for 5 minutes, then strain the tea and drink it before sleeping. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and those with hyperthyroidism should consult with a doctor before using lemon balm. Valerian is a popular alternative to prescription medications for anxiety and insomnia. It is considered safe and gentle and it helps reduce these conditions. It can help you fall asleep faster and improve the quality of sleep you get each night. To help improve sleep, make valerian tea by steeping 1 teaspoon (2-3 g) of dried root in 1 cup (240 mL) of boiling water for 10 minutes. Drink a cup before bedtime.  Valerian is also available as a powdered and fluid extract. Do not take valerian without consulting your doctor if you are taking other prescription medications or herbs for sleeping problems and depression. Also ask your doctor before giving valerian to a child. Narcolepsy can often put you at risk of experiencing anxiety and depression. St. John’s...

Chamomile tea can help to reduce the inflammation that diarrhea causes and it is also well-known as a natural sleep aid. Try sipping cup of chamomile tea about one hour before you go to bed. To brew a cup of chamomile tea, steep one tea bag or 1 teaspoon of dried chamomile flowers in one cup of boiling water. Then remove the tea bag or strain the tea. Drink the tea after it has cooled down a little bit. People who suffer from chronic intestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome are often encouraged to use relaxation techniques on a daily basis. Regular use of relaxation techniques is recommended because feeling stressed can worsen intestinal problems, such as diarrhea. To reduce your diarrhea symptoms, try using a relaxation technique for about 10 to 15 minutes before you go to bed. Some good options include:  Deep breathing Progressive muscle relaxation Meditation Over the counter anti-diarrheal medicines such as attapulgite, loperamide, and bismuth sub-salicylate may make it easier for you to sleep by stopping your symptoms for a few hours.

If this is occurring to you, you may want to consider taking an over-the-counter painkiller to help you fall asleep at night. These medications will not treat the diarrhea, but they may give you the pain relief you need to sleep:  Try taking a dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

Chances are that people at your place of work, school, or other commitments make routine requests of you.  Take some time when you're not under pressure to consider situations that might call for quick thinking and plan out how you could respond to these questions. For example, your teacher might ask you a question related to something you read for class, such as, “What was the name of the main character?” or “What did you think of the book?” Consider questions that your teacher might ask and try to prepare your answers in advance so that you do not have to pause for an answer. Clear communication will help you quickly share information with others and avoid misinterpretation.  Work to eliminate vocal tics such as excessive "ums" and "uhs." Utilize non-verbal cues such as eye contact and well-placed pauses. Use proper grammar. Gauge the formality of a given situation and determine how to respond appropriately. Be aware of project details and background information so you aren't caught off-guard.  Gain experience in your particular field and you'll have the foundations to quickly draw informed conclusions. For example, if you are a nurse who works with psychiatric patients, then learning as much as you can about psychiatric nursing interventions may help you to respond quickly in different situations. If you know a situation will call for fast thinking, eliminate distractions that may draw your focus from the task at hand.  Eliminate extraneous noise such as the radio, television, or music playing through headphones. Close out of social media accounts and extra tabs in your Internet browser while working. Concentrating on one task at a time will keep your mind focused and allow you to respond more quickly when faced with a question or a problem. Try to stay focused on only one task at a time, even if you are busy. For example, if you have a line of customers waiting for service and the phone is ringing, then choose one thing to focus on. For example, you might want to focus on the customers in front of you...

Chances are you haven't thought too much about how your nagging or controlling tendencies feel to your partner. Spend a moment and think back to a situation where you were controlling. Imagine the event from your partner's perspective. Don't allow your happiness to be dependent on what your partner does or doesn't do. You'll need to be gentle on yourself, be grateful for things you can do and what you already have, and try to connect with other people. Stop having to be right all the time. This is largely related to accepting your partner and not controlling him or her. You have to learn to be okay with imperfection. At the root of many controlling tendencies is a lack of trust. For example, you don't trust your partner to follow through on chores or you don't trust him or her when they're out alone. This might lead you to nag until something gets done or constantly check in on him or her when they're out. Learn to let your partner be himself or herself. If you're having trouble trusting, try letting your partner take the lead in decision making or planning something. Begin honestly and openly communicating with each other. It might be helpful to do things on your own occasionally. Take time for yourself to realize that you can be happy without a partner. Some space might also make you both appreciate one another more. Do something fun with your own friends. Remind yourself that you don't have to be controlling someone in order to have fun with them. This will be hard at first, but learn to bite your tongue instead of direct your partner. Make it a habit and you'll gradually begin to accept outcomes, rather than controlling them. You may find that your partner becomes more receptive and appreciative of you once you stop controlling him or her. Respond to this change by trusting your partner more. If things haven't improved or have gotten worse, consider seeking professional help. Relationship counseling can bring up these issues of trust, anxiety, and control. If you fear that you're in an abusive and...

Chances are you will have a different set of symptoms, depending on what your allergens  are. There are many common allergens:  Substances that are in the air such as pollen, pet dander (which is what causes people to be allergic to dogs and/or cats), dust mites, and mold will often cause a stuffy nose, coughing and sneezing. Bee or wasp stings will cause swelling, pain, itching, and in extreme cases, possibly anaphylactic shock. Foods such as peanuts, other nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk may cause digestive problems like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea or even anaphylactic shock. Medications like penicillin often cause systemic reactions including an itchy rash, hives, or anaphylactic shock.  Latex or other things that touch your skin may cause local irritation including a rash, hives, itching, blisters or peeling. Allergic-like reactions are even possible to extreme heat, extreme cold, sunlight, or friction on the skin. If you are having trouble determining what your allergies are, your doctor can conduct tests to help figure it out.  During a skin test or prick test the doctor will put a tiny amount of suspected allergens under your skin and then watch to see if you react with redness and swelling. A blood test will allow the doctor to evaluate whether your body is reacting with an immune response to particular allergens. This should be done under the supervision of a doctor.  If you have suspicion of what you might be allergic to, eliminate it from your diet. If that was the source, your symptoms should improve. Your doctor may ask you to eat it again, to see if your symptoms return. This would help confirm that it was the source. Keeping a food diary during this process can help you and your doctor keep track of your symptoms and detect any other possible allergens you might still be exposed to.

Chances are your parents will check on you during your day home to either make sure you’re not faking, or to see if you’re feeling better.  If your parents are at home with you, then just pretend to sleep and be sure to act accordingly when they check in on you. If your parents are at work, call to check-in with them. This will make you seem responsible, and not seem like you're having fun. If they call to check on you from work, wait for the phone to ring three or three and a half times before you answer, and sound as tired as you can. If you do stay home, pretend to sleep a lot and gradually start "getting better".  Around mid-day, remove one or two of your symptoms. If you don't show any signs of improvement towards the end of the day, your parents might want to take you to the doctor, who will see that there's no illness to be found. If you think your parents will take you to the doctor, try to phase out the sickness or just admit it. You're supposed to be home sick in bed, remember?!  Don't leave or get caught outside of the house. If a neighbour or friend of your parents sees you, they might tell. Be sure to put away any games before your parents come home. If they see you've been having fun, they'll suspect that you were faking the whole time. Clear out your internet history so that they won't know you were playing on the internet during the day. Don't forget to especially clear this search from your history. Do not save bookmarks or download items on your computer; parents will notice that you did these things during your “sick day.” Delete this page from your browser history, so your parents won't see it and question you.

Chances are, if you’re in a relationship, you will experience mismatched needs at some point. Few people have sexual desires or needs that exactly aligned, which means you and your partner(s) need to have open, honest conversations about each person’s needs.  Discussing your needs can seem awkward at first, but it can actually be a good way to bond with your partner.  Find a time to talk when you’re not likely to be distracted or interrupted. Both of you should feel like you’re focused on what your relationship needs, and that’s not likely to happen if your favorite TV program is on or you’re exhausted from work.  Use honest, clear terms. Euphemisms are often a sign that you’re uncomfortable talking about your body and your needs. Unfortunately, euphemisms can also muddle your meaning, so that your partner doesn’t understand what you’re asking for. Don’t feel embarrassed to use appropriate terms when talking about your body and your desires. “Vagina,” “penis,” or “oral sex” aren’t dirty words.  Discussing your needs isn’t just for people in long-term relationships. Singles and people in casual sexual relationships can also benefit from open, honest discussions of needs and desires.  Give feedback during your sexual activities. Don’t judge or pressure your partner. Instead, say things like “I like that” or “That feels good there.” Avoid using words like “don’t;” instead, say things like “It feels better when you do this” or “I prefer it when you do this.” This communication can help your partner understand and meet your needs. When your relationship has sexual issues, it can be easy to feel as though it’s all your partner’s fault. However, blaming or judging language -- such as “You aren’t giving me what I need” -- puts your partner on the defensive and shuts down productive communication. Instead, try the following techniques to have a healthy, productive discussion:  Use “I”-statements. These help communicate that you’re talking about your own needs, not trying to shame or blame your partner. For example,...

Chances are, you already know quite a bit about your family history, especially if you’re close with one or more of your family members. Take a look at the questions you’ve formed and see how many you can answer on your own. Once you’ve exceeded your own knowledge, it’s time to talk to family members. Ask questions about family relationships and significant events. Take good notes.  While the questions you have written down will help you with the outline of what you’re trying to learn, you may also get useful information you didn’t think about when you listen to stories from your family members. Be mindful that these discussions may be difficult for some family members. Be prepared to listen to lots of stories. Stories are some of the best means by which we remember and transfer information––encourage these as they arise by listening attentively and asking open-ended questions that motivate the person to share more information. Sometimes your family won’t be able to remember everything you need to know, or they may not wish to share it with you.  Web searches or family books can be used to cross check what you’ve learned from your family or fill in some gaps. However, you should be sure that this information is accurate if you decide to use it. You have a wealth of information within your own personal history that can help you with a baseline.  Gather information from your own medical records. Take into account what medications you may be using, as you can use this information to find out if any of your family members take the same, or similar medication for a condition. When making a genogram you’ll need to know how everyone in your family is connected. Research the unions between family members, gathering information on marriages, divorces, children, etc.  Take note of who is married, who is divorced, who may be living together outside of marriage.

Change can be good, like getting married, having a child, or getting a promotion at work. It can also be not so good; just ask anyone who has lost a job or is in the middle of a divorce proceeding. Keep in mind that change of any kind can be stressful as you get adjusted to your new life experience. Take a minute to think about and jot down all of the changes that you may have experienced in the last six months that may be causing stress. When the way that you are living your life contradicts with what you believe and value, this can cause you to experience a significant amount of stress. For example, if you highly value ambition and competitiveness but feel stuck in a boring dead-end job, you will likely experience stress because your values aren't lined up with your life right now. When your beliefs and value systems are mismatched to your actual life experience, stress and unhappiness can occur. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine if any mismatch is contributing to your stress levels:    What values do you find very important? Kindness? Honesty? Success? Family time? Does your behavior conflict with these values? For instance, let’s say that you value family time. Do you find yourself spending enough time with your family or are you prevented from doing so by other things? Do your job, relationships, friendships, or other areas of your life conflict with these values? For instance, let’s consider the same example above. Is your job preventing you from spending time with your family? Where you live, work, and spend most of your time can be a significant factor regarding your stress level. If you are surrounded by crime, overcrowding, noise, pollution, litter, or other unpleasant elements in your surroundings, then it can result in increased stress levels. Consider how much your environment is contributing to your stress. Personal problems and social factors can have a huge influence on your level of stress. Here are some dynamics to consider when you are trying to evaluate how these aspects...

Change the bandage covering your skinned knee daily, or more frequently if it becomes wet or dirty. Wash any dirt away from the area, as before.  Research demonstrates that removing an adhesive bandage quickly rather than slowly will probably cause less pain, although it depends somewhat on the nature of the wound.  Rubbing the ends of an adhesive bandage with oil, and letting it sit for a few moments, might help remove the bandage with less pain. While this alone doesn’t make the wound heal faster, it will stave off infection. An antibiotic cream will also keep a wound moist as it heals, which will prevent the scabbing and scarring that may result if a wound dries out. Generally, creams can be applied once or twice a day. check with product directions for frequency. Exactly how fast your skinned knee will heal depends on a number of factors like your age, nutrition, whether or not you smoke, your stress level, if you have an illness, etc. Moreover, antibiotic creams will only stave off infections, not actually heal the wound faster. If you wound seems to be healing abnormally slowly, check with a medical professional, as it could be a sign of something more serious, like an illness. You will need expert attention:   If the knee joint stops working. If your knee feels numb. If the wound bleeds and won’t stop. If there is dirt or other foreign material in the wound that you can’t get out of it. If the wound site becomes inflamed or swollen. If red streaks radiate from the wound. If the wound site drains pus. If you run a fever of over 100.4° F (38° C)

Change up your daily routine and do your best to avoid getting into any pattern. Take a different way to work and leave at different times, find other places to get your coffee, or switch around the days of your exercise class. Don’t bury your head in your phone, or listen to music with headphones on while out in public. Remember the saying, “There’s safety in numbers,” so ask friends or family to accompany you places if necessary.  Don’t walk alone at night. Ask your friends to walk you to your door. Make sure you have all your belongings with you. Be conscious of remembering your wallet or jacket, for example. Join a gym or start running or biking with a group. Exercise only in well-traveled, well-lit areas.  Do not wear headphones. Carry a self-defense item, such as pepper spray, with you. Find friends to work out with. For example, if you’re a runner, recruit one of your friends to train for a race with you. Knowing how to defend yourself in the event of an attack can help you feel more powerful and prepared. You can also learn ways to be more aware of your surroundings.  Take a self-defense class. You can often find self-defense classes at fitness centers, community centers, colleges/universities, or at local martial arts studios.

Change your regular pillowcase to one your hair is able to smoothly glide over. For the best protection for your curls, choose a hairstyle such as a braid or a pineapple and use this in combination with a satin pillowcase.  A silk pillowcase is a good alternative. Avoid sleeping on cotton pillowcases if you have curly or frizz-prone hair.  You can also wear a satin bonnet to help protect your hair even more. A satin bonnet also helps if you have acne, as it prevents the oils from your hair touching your face. Flip your hair forward and place the base of a T-shirt on the nape of your neck. Bring the base of the T-shirt around your forehead and secure each side with a safety pin that rests flat on your forehead. Bring your head back up and wrap the sleeves of the T-shirt around your hair. Knot the sleeves together, taking care not to include your curls in the knot, and your curls will be held in place throughout the night.

Changes can be hard on both people in a relationship. Even if you’re struggling, reach out and support your partner. Let your partner know that he or she is important to you and that you care about the relationship. Give affection, care, and respect, and express yourself through thoughtful words and gestures. Say, “This is hard, and I’m struggling. Yet, I want you to know I care about you and I want this relationship to work. I’m here and willing to support you.” Talk about how big changes affect each of you separately and how they affect the relationship as a whole. Let your partner express his or her feelings completely. It may not be an easy conversation and may extend to several conversations. However, it’s important to communicate clearly with your partner when big changes occur. Be honest about how you feel. Use “I statements” to convey your feelings. For example, say, “I feel nervous and anxious about you starting night school. I feel like I’ll see less of you, which makes me feel sad. At the same time, I’m proud of you and want you to pursue what makes you happy.” While you may want to express your thoughts, needs, and feelings to your partner as soon as change comes up, take a step back and ask your partner about how he or she is experiencing the change. Listen intently and let your partner communicate his or her thoughts, feelings, and needs. Show your partner your care by being available to listen.  Improve your listening skills by reflecting and restating what your partner says. For example, say, “I hear you saying that this change is hard on you too, and that you feel it’s important to go through with this, even though it’s difficult.” Validate your partner’s feelings. Say, “I can tell it’s really hard for you to talk about your father’s death, and you feel depressed. I can understand why this is so hard for you.” Learn more listening skills by checking out How to Be a Good Listener.
