Although ceramic is a tough, durable material, it can still be damaged if scrubbed with an abrasive material. Do not use scouring pads to clean your ceramic sink, especially any pads made of wire or metal. Also do not use scouring powders to clean your ceramic sink, as they could scratch or damage the surface. Instead of these, clean the sink with a soft, non-abrasive sponge. Some cleaning companies manufacture scouring liquids. Also avoid using these on the ceramic sink. Do not use concentrated drain cleaners in your ceramic sink. Although these products are advertised as being safe on all surfaces, a chemically potent concentrated drain cleaner may damage or erode the surface of your ceramic sink. If you would like to use a drain cleaner, look for a gentler cleanser that is specifically designed for use on ceramic or porcelain. You may be more likely to find such a drain cleaner at a health store or a natural foods store. Be careful to avoid washing dishes in large plastic bowls. Although the plastic bowls themselves will not harm the ceramic, the bowls will likely accumulate grit and dirt on their bottoms through normal use. This grit can scratch the surface of the ceramic on the bottom of your sink, and these scratches cannot be removed. When you wash dishes, either fill the sink itself with soapy water, or find a large vessel that will not collect grit on its bottom. For example, use a large metal saucepan.

Although depression may not have a single cause, and it's not exactly known what causes it, it is a real chemical change in the body and is a true mental illness. There are some factors that are predictive of an individual coming down with depression, including:  The death of a loved one. Separation from a loved one. Financial loss. Dramatic life changes such as relocating to a different city, retirement, or changing jobs. Conflicts in personal life such as divorce, disputes. Burnout or too much work. Additional responsibilities such as the birth of a baby or having to take care of sick parents or relatives. Conflicts in professional life such as changing roles and responsibilities that are not in sync with the person’s interests and skills. Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Debilitating diseases and illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s, heart diseases, or cancer. Changes in the brain. Sometimes depression happens for "no good reason." However, a certain amount of sadness or difficult feelings are normal when bad things happen. If things don't improve after around 6 months, that's when a bigger problem is assumed to be at hand. Depression affects 6–7% of the total adult population in the US alone. The majority (70%) of diagnosed cases are seen in women — however this may be in part because women may be more comfortable than men in seeking treatment for depression and/or because of the higher risk of suicide in men. Suicide (a behavior associated with depression) is relatively common, too, being a leading cause of death nearly as common as influenza and pneumonia. The person's feelings of self-worth and self-confidence take a beating day in and day out thanks to their negative thought patterns. They are constantly pursued by thoughts which tell them they are not good enough, not lovable, wanted, or competent enough to be liked by others. They have persistent feelings that their company is not something people long for. So, in their mind, it's better to avoid interacting or mingling with people no matter...

Although drying your hands is important to reduce the spread of germs, washing your hands thoroughly is even more essential to good hygiene. Before using the hand dryer, follow these steps to wash your hands:  Use warm or cold, clean running water to wet your hands. Apply soap and lather your hands, rubbing them together and being careful to use soap on the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and underneath nails. Take a minimum of 20 seconds to scrub your hands. Rinse them under clean, running water. This can be accomplished by gently shaking your hands into the sink after you have finished washing them. The more moisture you remove, the faster it will be to use the dryer. Most hand dryers feature diagrams and instructions showing users how to operate the unit most effectively and hygienically. Many hand dryers available today automatically turn on when you place your hands under the unit. This makes the dryer more hygienic to use because you do not have to push a button that countless other people have also touched. Angle your palm slightly downward to encourage the water to roll off your hands. Although it might feel like rubbing your hands together while they under the dryer speeds up the process, this can actually increase the spread of bacteria. Keep your hands under the dryer until they are completely dry, since wet hands increase the spread of germs. These places harbor bacteria, and you reduce the effectiveness of washing your hands by touching these potentially contaminated surfaces.You also place people who use the dryer after you at a greater risk. Most hand dryers in use today also shut off automatically when you walk away or when you withdraw your hands from underneath the dryer. Some models also shut off after a specific amount of time.

Although exercise is a great way to support weight loss, you'll most likely also need to change how much you're eating.  If you cut out about 500 calories a day you may be able to lose 1-2 pounds per week.  This in combination with exercise can produce great weight loss.  In general, it may be difficult to lose weight with exercise alone.  Try to make small modifications in your diet to maximize weight loss. Try using a food journal or food journal app to help you figure out where you can cut out excess calories. Do not try to cut out too many calories or eat fewer than 1,200 calories daily.  You run the risk of nutrient deficiencies and slower weight loss over time. This type of eating pattern will help support your weight loss.  Include a source of lean protein at each meal - portion sizes should be around 85 to 110 grams, or the size of your palm.  Include items like:  poultry, eggs, lean beef, legumes, dairy products or tofu. Also include a variety of fruits and vegetables.  These foods are high in nutrients, but low in calories.  Filling up on these foods can help cut down on your overall caloric intake.  When you're including grains in your diet, try to choose 100% whole grains.  These are higher in fiber and other nutrients that are beneficial to your health. Snacks can also be a part of a healthy diet that can support your weight loss.  It may help tide you over to your next meal or help you recover from a workout.  Try to keep snacks to 100-200 calories per snack.  Also try to include lean protein and a fruit or vegetable to keep calories low. Healthy snacks can be:  greek yogurt with fruit and nuts, protein bar or shake, 2 hard boiled eggs or celery and peanut butter. Try to consume the recommended amount of fluids daily.  In general, aim for about 2 liters or 8 glasses.  If you're working out at an intense level or are active for more than 60 minutes, you may need significantly more water each day.  Try to keep a water bottle close by.  That way you can monitor and track how much fluid you're...

Although fashion changes the little details, the essential core of formal office attire has really not changed much in decades. Dressing business formal is in some ways easier than in business casual, because the parameters are a lot narrower and well-defined. Both genders are typically expected to wear suits, typically in neutral colors (as described above). In general, men and women wear the following:  For men: Formal suit, dress shirt, dress shoes, tie. Sometimes dressy slacks and sport coat are acceptable alternatives for a business suit. Often a shirt without an outer garment is acceptable. For women: business suit with skirt, blazer, blouse, dress shoes. Pants are also acceptable. A conservative dress may be substituted for a suit. Suits should be tailored for fit. Solid colors or pinstripes, and in good condition. Skirt suits should be knee-length and not too tight. Shirts should be typically solid or pinstriped, tailored for fit, laundered, and ironed if required.  Long sleeves are always more formal. Short sleeves are typically acceptable for spring and summer. However, some workplaces and cultures frown on bare arms. Women typically should steer away from sleeveless shirts if unsure if they are accepted or not. In some regions sleeveless shirts (but not one with straps, such as halter tops) are considered perfectly acceptable. In others, they are not considered appropriate. Tank tops, camisoles, tube tops, strapless tops amd  "spaghetti strap" tops are not office formal clothing. Men should match shirt to tie. Women have to be extra careful in the cut and fit of office tops. Put bluntly, (especially for full-figured women) the bustline must be fitted properly so that it is not too revealing, too tight, or otherwise exposing more of the breasts so it is inappropriate. If your blouse gaps at the buttons of the bustline, the shirt does not fit you properly. Fabric or "fashion" tapes can be purchased to hold blouses in the right position. Ties can allow for some color and pattern in an outfit that...

Although ghosts crabs live on land, and cannot actually swim, they do need a constant supply of water. Ghost crabs have to return to water periodically to moisten their gills in order to breathe. In the wild, a ghost crab would walk up to the shoreline and wait till a wave ran over him, before scuttling back up the beach. You must ensure your crabs have access to water in their container at all times.  You should ensure you have a dish of saltwater in the tank that you change at least every two weeks. Create saltwater by mixing two and a half teaspoons of sea or aquarium salt with a gallon of water to reach a gravity reading of around 1.01-1.08. Be sure you leave the water to sit overnight so that the chlorine and chloramines dissipate before you place it in the tank.  Make sure the dish is easy for your crabs to get in and out of. You crab can also get moisture from wet sand. Ghost crabs can be considered both scavengers and predators. They have a broad and varied diet, which includes decomposing plant and animal matter as well as mole crabs, clams and turtle hatchlings they catch on the beach.  Provide a variety of vegetables, fruit, fish and meat to your crabs and see which foods they like. Crabs really enjoy a variety of food, so try different natural foods and have not been treated with any pesticides or chemicals.  Avoid too much repetition in your crab’s diet and pay attention to what food he likes the most.  You can also buy prepared crab food from your pet store as a reliable and easy option. Ghost crabs aren’t especially messy or high-maintenance, but you will have to spend some time helping them maintain their environment. You should regularly spot clean the tank, to remove dirty sand and bits of food detritus. Use a sand sifter, fishnet or kitchen strainer to scoop up some sand and sift out the dirty bits. Add in some new sand every few weeks to keep the tank clean and refreshed.  Sift the sand more often the more crabs you have. With one crab, every three weeks is fine. With four, every week....

Although gloves are optional, exposing your hands to hydrogen peroxide for too long can cause skin redness and irritation. Plus, you may accidentally bleach your nails or fingers. It’s best to wear gloves to protect your hands. Use disposable gloves or reusable kitchen gloves. Measure out the baking soda, then transfer it to your bowl. After you put the baking soda in the bowl, shake it a little to break up any clumps. Measure the 3% hydrogen peroxide and pour it over the baking soda. You may notice it fizzing, but you don’t need to worry. This is a normal reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the baking soda.  Since you’re not using much hydrogen peroxide, it may not fizz. Don’t use higher than a 3% hydrogen peroxide, as it may damage your hair. Use your spoon to break up any clumps that form in your paste. Keep stirring it until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Don’t use a metal spoon, as it’s best to avoid using metal with bleaching agents. It’s possible for bleaching agents to react with metal.

Although honesty applies to a lot more than merely sucking up, sincerity will increase the chances of your success. The most important factor in whether or not a compliment is received well is the sincerity with which it's given. If you're trying to lie through your teeth as a way to get into someone's good books, chances are high the deceit will be noticed. Be only as bold with a compliment as you mean it. Moderate compliments often feel more impactful because they're more grounded in the real world. Instead of saying "You're the best looking person on the planet", for example, you could say "I think you take really good care of your appearance." If you want the other person to respect your opinions, it helps to take the opposing view occasionally. If the two of you debate something, you can eventually shift your view to align with the other person's. This will give the impression that he or she has succeeded as a persuader, and he or she will associate positive feelings with you.  This works in work and family situations alike. The payoff of this technique will flatter the person's persuasive skills, while simultaneously proving you're not afraid to stand by something. A transition from your original stance to the other person's should feel natural. When you change your mind, you can say something like this: "You know, you make a really good argument about this. I never thought about it that way before, and now I see why you held that view all along." Compliments are helpful, but they'll quickly grow tiresome if you're throwing them at the person in question. Even if someone may feel flattered that you care so much about his opinion, it's much better to emphasize the quality over quantity in your flattery. That way, he or she won't be desensitized to your positive opinions of him. Don't say compliments without planning them out first. If you're consciously trying to suck up to someone, this might manifest itself as a needless quantity of compliment. You can usually count on people to spread information....

Although it can be difficult not to react when someone is shouting at you, the best thing to do is ignore it. Keep your eyes on the road, and try not to make eye contact with the enraged driver. If an angry driver yells at you or shares a rude gesture out his or her window, don't shout back at them. Continue to drive as safely as possible ignore the angry driver. Fighting and driving angry is dangerous to both of you as well as the other drivers and will only cause the situation to escalate.  Roughly half of US drivers reported responding to an enraged driver by yelling back or making a rude gesture. As many as 37% of road rage incidents involve a firearm. This alone is an excellent reason to avoid road rage escalation. If another driver cuts you off or honks at you, it's because they're experiencing their own road rage, not because they are angry at you. Don't let it ruin your commute. Taking offense at his or her action will only cause your own road rage to escalate. If you do become a victim of another driver's road rage and you feel threatened, take steps to keep yourself safe. Note the license plate number, make, and model of the vehicle in case the situation escalates and there is vehicle damage. If you're being followed, drive to the nearest police station and request assistance.

Although it can be tempting to kick the ball from far away and as hard as you can, taking shots closer to the net can result in a better chance of scoring a goal.  By shooting close to the net you will allow for greater accuracy and control over your shot, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to block.  Make sure you aren't shooting from too far away to increase your score count.  Also, ensure you maintain your distance from the goalie as goalkeepers are trained to make themselves look big and then dive and latch onto the ball. Make sure you have sufficient distance to shoot from without the goalkeeper being able to grab onto the ball. Shoot from around 10 to 15 meters away, as shooting close to the goal increases your accuracy. Shooting from too far away can lower your chances of scoring a goal. During a breakaway it's just you and the goalkeeper.  Chipping the ball over the goalkeeper can be an effective way to overcome any defense they might offer.  Wait until you are close and use the following technique to chip the ball over the keeper and score a goal.  Wait for the goalie to dive or move towards the ball. Bring your leg and foot down to kick the ball. Strike the bottom half of the ball without following through with your kick. By kicking the right spot on the ball and not following through you will send the ball up and over the goalie. As long as the goalie is standing in your way he has a chance of blocking your shot.  A good technique you can use is to dribble the ball past the goalie before shooting.  This technique calls for you to trick the goalie into diving for the ball and then moving around him in the opposite direction before shooting.  Approach the goal and draw the goalie out from the net. Pretend that you are going to move either left or right for your shot. As the goalie dives towards your ball, quickly change directions and dribble past him.

Although it isn’t required, many painters add a finishing coat of varnish to seal the acrylic paints. This helps the paint to chemically bond to the canvas, and protects it better from damage. It is imperative that you clean your paint brushes right after finishing up with them. Acrylic paint can severely damage and ruin paint brushes if left to dry in the bristles. Wash the brushes with cold water and soap until the water runs clear (warm/hot water will set the paint in the brushes). Wipe up any paint on your painting surface, and rinse the jars with water. Acrylic paint will last for several months in an air-tight container, so if you have any extra set it aside for a future painting. Scoop the paint into small containers with lids, or seal it into your stay-wet palette. Place your painting in a location to dry for 1–2 days. Acrylic paints have a very short dry time, but they should be left in an area where they won’t be disturbed in order to cure. Art is meant to be shared, so showcase your newly finished acrylic painting so that others can see your handiwork. Have it matted and framed if it is on paper or canvas board, or simply hang it in your home. To maintain an acrylic painting properly, you have to know the best way to clean it.

Although it sounds complicated, it’s really not. Threading your eyebrows has several advantages over other methods.  Threading the eyebrows is faster than plucking. It will also remove tiny hairs that you are likely to miss with tweezers.  Some people also consider threading a less-painful method than waxing and tweezing.   Waxing can irritate the skin, but threading is unlikely to do so. Threading your eyebrows is also faster and cheaper than using at-home wax kits. If you learn how to do it yourself, you can save a lot of money. The thread might cost you under $1. Many cities have salons that offer eyebrow threading services. If you’re not confident with your ability to do it yourself, see a professional! Threading improperly could result in eyebrows that don't look good. Professional threaders are often required to have licenses or permits.However, some studies have found dermatological complications from threading. You will need a few key tools in order to thread your eyebrows. Luckily, none of these things costs very much, and they are widely available in drug stores. You may already have most or all of them at home.  Buy a spoolie or clean lash comb or, if you don’t have those, find a fine-toothed comb. Consider purchasing loose face powder. Although not essential, it’s a trick that can make threading eyebrows easier. You will need very small scissors such as grooming scissors or those small scissors you can find in sewing kits. This is the most important tool that you will need to thread eyebrows. And here’s the key: Make sure that you buy 100 percent cotton sewing thread.  You need a piece of thread that is the length of your forearm plus about three extra inches. Other experts say the thread should be about 15-24 inches long, and longer if you have big hands. The less string you use, the more control you will have. Choose thread that won't snap easily.  Choose thread that doesn’t have a large amount of synthetic fiber in it, especially if your eyebrow hair is very coarse. If you can’t find...

Although it sounds contradictory, those who stay active tend to preserve energy levels more so than those who try to stay off their feet completely in the days after chemotherapy treatments. While you should stay active, don’t push yourself too hard.  Instead of vigorous exercise, simply try to take one or two walks a day.  Generally speaking, try keeping up the activities you enjoy, but try shorter, easier versions of them.  Some forms of chemotherapy are particularly exhausting in the days after treatment. If this is the case for you, and it is too hard to even get out and walk or exercise, be forgiving of yourself and speak to your doctor for additional advice and guidance. Keep track from day to day, and you’ll likely notice a trend for when you feel most up to activity. Schedule your favorite or most important activities for this time period.  Some people have a few "bad days" immediately following treatment, followed by "good days" before the next treatment begins. You can use these "good days" to be more productive and to get the things done that you need to do. On your "bad days," it is important to give yourself permission to rest to allow your body to heal. Listen to your body. Don’t feel guilty for napping during the day if you need to. Try to keep naps to an hour or less and take them in a comfy chair rather than in your bed because this makes it easier to get up and resume your day. Depending on the type of cancer, anywhere from 30 to 75 percent of patients have reported insomnia as a symptom. Proper rest is more important than ever while your body and immune system battle both cancer and the effects of the chemo. Consult your doctor who will be able to prescribe sleep medications as needed.  Some of the best ways to fight insomnia include avoiding stimulants like caffeine in the evening and ensuring that your room is quiet, dark, and comfortably cool in temperature.

Although it will probably always feel scary when your dog has a focal seizure, you’ll likely handle it better once you recognize some signs. Before a seizure, dogs typically exhibit behavioral changes, such as seeming anxious or unfocused. During focal seizures, your dog might also snap its mouth and appear to be biting at flies.  If you think a seizure is coming, move sharp objects, other dogs, and children away from your dog. This reduces the likelihood of the dog accidentally getting hurt. You can allow your dog to eat and drink small amounts, but don't let them have an excessive amount of anything. Your dog might feel pretty shaky after a seizure, and that's normal. You can give them a small amount of rescue remedy to help calm them. Add a small dish of vanilla ice cream to help level out the blood sugar. Make sure to monitor your dog for additional warning signs of a seizure. They can sometimes come again rapidly. You can also make your dog more comfortable by helping them to cool down. Consider a cool, damp cloth or placing a gentle fan in front of them. If your dog is prone to seizures, it’s even more important than usual to provide consistent medical care. Your vet might also want to regularly do lab work on your dog to make sure any medications are working properly. Ask your vet how frequently you should bring your dog in.

Although many people find walking very enjoyable, it still may be hard to stay motivated over long periods of time.  Joining a walking group is a fun way to stay motivated.  You can find walking groups online, at your local gym or even at your work or church.  These are groups that get together on a regular basis and walk together.  They usually are divided into groups of people of the same fitness level as well. Studies have shown that you're more likely to stick with a workout program when you're doing it with friends or others.  If you can't find a walking group to join, start one yourself.  Get your friends, family or co-workers to go for a walk with you.  For example, develop a lunchtime walkers group at work. Another fun way to keep yourself motivated is by purchasing a pedometer, downloading a walking app or joining an online fitness program.  Pedometers, are very popular and come in many different forms — from those found on smartphones, to clip-on styles, to watches.  Studies have shown these step counters motivate people and bring out their competitive side.  Many people enjoy trying to beat their daily goals or beating their friends who are also measuring their steps. Another way to track your steps and make walking fun is by joining an online fitness program.  Many of these are compatible with pedometers and show your progress against others that you "follow" or are "friends" with.  It's fun to get competitive with others to see who gets the most steps or walks the farthest each day. Although walking can be relaxing and very enjoyable, it can get boring over time.  Try to avoid getting bored by keeping your routine fresh.  If you typically walk on the treadmill, consider doing some walking outside.  You can enjoy the fresh air, scenery and being out in nature. Or perhaps on the weekends you go for a walk or hike in a local park. Another way to make each walk more interesting is by downloading good music or podcasts or audiobooks.

Although parents were once advised to sterilize bottles after every use, this is no longer deemed necessary.  According to The American Academy of Pediatrics, washing your bottle with hot, soapy water is enough to effectively clean it -- as long as the water is safe to drink.  However, it is still necessary to sterilize new bottles before their first use and to sterilize bottles that have been washed with well water after each use. When you need to sterilize your bottles, you can do so using an electric steam sterilizer or a microwave steam sterilizer.  With both types of sterilizer, the bottles are immersed in steam at a temperature of 212 degrees F (or 100 degrees C), which kills off any bacteria. With the electric sterilizer, you add water, stack the bottles, rings and nipples (spaced well apart), cover with a lid, plug in and turn on. The sterilization process takes approximately 10 minutes. With the microwave sterilizer, the process is essentially the same. Once the bottles are in the sterilizer, place it in the microwave and heat on full power for 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. The old fashioned way of sterilizing bottles simply involved boiling them in a pot of water.  Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then add the bottle parts, cover with a lid and boil for at least 5 minutes.  This method is best for sterilizing glass baby bottles, but will work on plastic ones too (provided they don't contain BPA).

Although scientific research has not proven that sugary foods lead to a buildup of toxins, cutting back on processed foods, especially processed foods that contain sugar, can lower the amount of toxins in your body. Try to reduce processed foods made with simple sugars and carbohydrates, or foods containing artificial flavoring in your diet. The less waste your lymphatic system has to filter, the more easily it will flow and clean your body. Red meat and shellfish are hard to digest and can clog up your lymphatic system, according to natural health practitioners. If you do need to eat animal based protein, go for organic meats. Hydrogenated fats can be oxidized easily and this will lead to a clogging of the arteries and lymphatic system. Though there is no scientific evidence these foods can cause lymph issues, dairy and white flour form mucus in your body that can congest your lymphatic system. Limit your dairy consumption by substituting regular milk for almond or rice milk. Cut back on white flour by using whole wheat flour or trying gluten free products. Whole wheat flour is better because it has more vitamin and nutrients. When shopping at the grocery store, look for organic stickers on your fruits and vegetables. Or ask your local produce producer at your farmer’s market about organic produce. Organic produce will help to limit the amount of toxins that will need to be filtered by your body via your lymphatic system. They will also provide powerful enzymes and acids to cleanse your lymphatic system.  The label on an organic fruit or vegetable at the grocery store will contain a “9” in front of the PLU code (the bar code identifying the product).  In the US, “organic” describes raw or processed agricultural products and ingredients that have been organically farmed. These foods also cannot be farmed with: synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, sewer sludge fertilizers, genetic engineering, growth hormones, antibiotics, artificial ingredients, or synthetic additives.

Although spending a long time in a chlorinated pool or hot bath is not good for the skin, soaking your feet for 15 minutes prior to moisturizing or exfoliating is helpful. Once your feet have healed and are no longer dry and rough, you won't have to soak them for treatment.  Long soaks in a hot bath deplete the natural oils in the skin and the heat reduces the moisture in skin's outer layer, all of which contribute to dry skin, so limit the time you soak. Do not soak your feet more than three times per week or you’ll contribute to the drying skin instead of treating it. You can make different soaking mixtures, including:  A mixture of baking soda, water and a splash of vinegar in a bucket of warm water.  Mild soap (scented if you wish) with a bucket of warm water. Half a cup of epsom salts in a tub of warm water.  A quarter cup of white vinegar in a bucket of warm water. A quarter cup of lemon juice that will dissolve dead and dry skin. Mechanical exfoliation means removing the dead top layer of skin in order to treat the underlying layers. You can use a pumice stone, stiff brush, or loofah after softening the top layers of skin through soaking.  A pumice stone is found at a pharmacy or in the pharmacy department of a large store. You don’t need a specific type of stiff brush. Even a brush from the household cleaning department works as long as you don’t use it for anything else. It's a good idea to soak your feet in warm water or take a warm shower for 10–15 minutes before exfoliating. Once you have removed the outer layer of dead cells it’s time to add moisture back to the skin. Moisturize immediately after a shower or soaking using a non-alcohol based product to trap the moisture that is on the skin and keep the skin moist. Some moisturizers work to seal in the moisture on your skin and others work by penetrating the skin to the dermal layer.  Thick creams like Eucerin and Cetaphil work to trap the moisture in the skin. Other products with lanolin work in the same way. Olive oil has the same effect on the...

Although symptoms of stomach ulcers can vary from person to person, pain is a common symptom. You may have pain in the area just below your rib cage near the center of your chest. In fact, you might notice pain anywhere from your belly button up towards your breastbone. Don't be surprised if the pain comes and goes. It might be worse at night, if you're hungry, or it may go away and return weeks later. In addition to pain, you may experience nausea, vomiting, or bloating. These can be caused by damaged stomach walls where the ulcer has formed. Then, when your stomach secretes acid it needs to digest food, the acid irritates and damages the ulcer even more. In severe cases, you may vomit blood or notice blood in your stools. You should be able to spot "red flags" or warning signs of an ulcer. If you have any of these symptoms along with stomach pain, call your physician or 911 right away:  Fever Severe pain Diarrhea that lasts longer than two to three days Persistent constipation (longer than two to three days) Blood in the stools (which can appear red, black, or tarry) Persistent nausea or vomiting Vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds Severe tenderness of the belly Jaundice (yellowish discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes) Swelling or visible bloating of the abdomen Your doctor will probably want an EGD (EsophagoGastroDuodenoscopy). During this procedure, a small camera on a flexible tube is inserted into your stomach. This way, doctors can visualize the ulcers on your stomach and determine if any are bleeding.  X-rays of the upper gastrointestinal tract can also diagnose gastric ulcers, although these aren't as widely used since they can miss small ulcers. After your initial treatment, your doctor may wish to perform an endoscopy, a procedure during which your doctor will use a tube with a tiny camera and light to examine your digestive tract. This way your doctor can ensure that the ulcer responded to treatment and was not actually a symptom of stomach cancer.

Although the Android version of Firefox does not come with its own screenshot tool, you can use the standard screenshotting feature to capture the visible part of any webpage. You'll find Firefox in your app drawer and possibly on the home screen. The steps to capture a screenshot on an Android phone or tablet varies by make and model. You'll usually have to press two buttons at the same time, but those buttons vary by manufacturer and version. You'll only be able to capture the part of the page that appears on the screen. This method will also capture anything else on the screen that's visible. You can usually find the correct buttons to press by searching the internet for your model name and the word "screenshot." You'll know you've pressed the right combination when your screen briefly flashes. Screenshots are automatically saved to your Android's gallery. 	Here are some possible screenshotting options:  Android 9.0 (some models): Press and hold the Power button until a brief menu appears, then tap Screenshot. Earlier versions: Press and hold the Power and Home buttons at the same time, then lift your fingers when the screen flashes. If there's no Home button, try Power and Volume-Down instead. If your Android uses Google Assistant, activate the Assistant and say "Ok Google, take a screenshot." Some models have special hand gestures, such as the Samsung Palm Swipe. If this is enabled on your phone or tablet, you can take a screenshot by swiping your palm vertically across the screen.

Although the Consolidation phase starts weight maintenance, it's the Stabilization phase that really focuses on weight maintenance long-term.  You're allowed a significant amount more freedom in your food choices, but you need to follow a certain day to day menu.  One of the “non-negotiable rules” of this phase is that you eat 3 tablespoons of oat bran everyday.  You can add this to recipes, smoothies or sprinkled on other foods. The Dukan Diet recommends continuing one day of the Attack phase (protein foods only) to help maintain your weight loss long-term. As far as exercise, the Dukan Diet wants you to continue exercising and emphasizes the need to increase your lifestyle activity (like taking the stairs instead of the elevator). Regardless of what diet you follow long-term, one of the best ways to maintain your weight by weighing yourself regularly.  This will help make sure you hold yourself accountable to your goal weight long-term.  Many studies show that people who have lost weight are able to keep it off longer and more easily when they're weighing themselves at least once a week.  Make sure to weigh yourself weekly.  However, weighing yourself daily won't necessarily give you an accurate information day-to-day.  Natural fluctuations in weight occur daily so once or twice a week is appropriate. Try to weigh yourself on the same day of the week, at the same time and with the same clothes (or no clothes).  This will help give you a more accurate trend over time. Give yourself a small weight range that's acceptable for you.  If you go below or over that range, you'll need to address your diet and lifestyle to see where those weight changes are coming from. Another important aspect of weight maintenance outside of regular weigh-ins is a support group.  Whether you attend a support group meeting or have friends or family that support you, this is a key aspect to being able to maintain your weight long-term.  Many studies have shown that those people who have a support group not only lose more weight, but...

Although the following can be used as a general guide for uniform berets, you will need to know any unique rules you may be required to follow. If you're wearing a beret for fashion, there is really no limit to how it may be worn (as long as it's sitting on top of your head). The most popular casual method of wearing a beret is to wear it without a fold and tilted so that the brim sits diagonally across your forehead. Usually casual berets need no shaping other than fuzz removal. This typically means to wear your beret with the brim straight across your forehead. The United States Army requires the edge to sit one inch above the eyebrows. If your organization requires a "flash" insignia, it should be aligned over your left eye. Excess material will be folded and draped towards the right side of your head. This is typically why a beret must be shaped, as it will most likely resist holding this shape when brand new. Do not wear hairstyles that may distort the shape of the beret, such as high buns or ponytails. Your bangs should not extend below the front brim of the beret. Some organizations, such as the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force, require that those with long hair keep it in a hairnet most closely matching their hair color.

Although the ketogenic diet is grounded in medical and nutritional fact, there is not a universal opinion in the medical community that the diet is effective for weight-loss. Your personal doctor will be able to advise you if the diet is a good fit for you personally.  Some sources view a ketogenic diet as an effective way to counter the symptoms of certain illnesses — such as epilepsy — rather than a weight-loss diet.  If you are pregnant or diabetic, work with your doctor so they can monitor and adjust your medications while you follow this diet.   If you are type-1 diabetic, seek permission from a doctor well-trained in nutrition before you start this diet. A ketogenic diet — and putting your body into ketosis generally — presents risks for anyone who suffers from heart or kidney problems. If you are at risk for heart disease or kidney disease, avoid ketogenic diets.  A ketogenic diet prescribes moderate amounts of proteins, and large amounts of fats. A ketogenic diet will also add strain to your kidneys. Protein-heavy foods increase the amount of calcium in your urine. This, in turn, can strain your kidneys and lead to the development of kidney stones. The Atkins diet is heavy on fats and proteins, low on carbohydrates, and will encourage your body to burn ketones for energy. Atkins is a decent “middle ground” between a regular diet (often high in carbs) and a low-protein ketogenic diet. This step is optional, but may make the transitional period into a ketogenic diet easier. ” Macronutrients are nutrients which your body needs in large quantities, and they provide energy in the form of calories. Calculating your macronutrient intake will let you see the current levels of your fat consumption. With this information, you can decide how to reduce your carb and protein consumption, and increase your fat consumption.  There are three types of macronutrients: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Fats provide more calories per gram than either proteins or carbs. There are many macronutrient calculators available...

Although the leg opening and fit of Levi's jeans changes slightly to adapt to trends, their style remains fairly consistent. Examine your jeans carefully and compare them to other styles to see which they resemble most closely.  The classic 501 is known as the Original Fit, and features a straight leg and classic fit.  The 505, or Regular Fit, has a straight leg and a loose fit, and are the style that Mick Jagger wore on the cover of the Rolling Stones' album Sticky Fingers in 1971.  The 517 features a casual boot cut, and fits slightly slimmer through the leg. The red tab with the white Levi’s logo (or a simple trademark symbol) is immediately identifiable, but this is mostly used on 501s and their denim jackets. Other style numbers might use different colored tabs, so check to see what your pair has.  In the 1960s, Levi’s used an orange tab to label their fashion denim, including bellbottoms, shirts, hats, and accessories. Orange tabs are still sometimes used in vintage reproductions.  A dark-colored tab with an orange carrot is the signature of Levi’s Fresh Produce line from the 1970s. A blue tab denotes Levi’s premium line, Levi’s Made and Crafted. A silver tab was used starting in the late 1980s for Levi’s baggy jeans. Levi’s jeans have undergone numerous changes since they were introduced in 1873. Look for small details that can help you determine when they were made.  In 1941, Levi’s dropped the rivet from the crotch of their jeans because it had a tendency to get too hot when the wearer sat beside a campfire.  During WWII, Levi’s backed the war effort by removing rivets and decorative stitching from their jeans. The stitching on the back pockets, known as the arcuate, was painted on instead.  Jeans made after 1971 will have a lowercase “e” on their red tab. Prior to this, the logo had an uppercase “e.” Levi’s have a huge following all around the world. Some people specialize in the history of denim, especially the Levi’s brand. Contact a historian if you can not determine the style number on your own....

Although the sock will be hidden inside your hair once you make the bun, it’s a good idea to find a sock the same color as your hair just in case part of the sock peeks through.  If you don’t have a sock the same color as your hair and are trying to make this hairstyle in a pinch, choose a sock that is a similar tone to your hair. For instance, if you have blond hair, pick a tan or light-colored sock. If you have dark brown hair, pick a black or navy sock. Make sure that you use a sock you don’t care about, since you will be cutting it and won’t be able to wear it again. If you don’t want to use a sock, you can also purchase a hair donut, which fulfills the same function as the sock. If you have a hair donut, you can skip to the next section.

Although there may not be any at all, some symptoms include having had one or more unexplained miscarriages, stroke, heart attack, and/or blood clots in the legs or lungs (clots may also occur in the brain, renal vein, or arteries). If you suffer from something such as lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic infections, or tumors, you may be more likely to develop LA. Keep in mind that LA may develop at any time. Just because you didn’t have it 10 years ago, doesn’t mean you don’t have it now. If you experience any of the following symptoms contact your doctor immediately, as it could be an indication that a potentially life threatening blood clot has formed:  Swelling and redness in your legs. Shortness of breath. Pain, numbness, or loss of color in an arm or leg. If you are having symptoms, or feel that you are susceptible to LA, a PTT test can determine whether or not you have anticoagulant antibodies present in your blood. Using a needle, blood is collected from a vein (usually the arm) and placed in a specimen container. A chemical is then added to the blood sample to measure how long it takes for the blood to clot. Certain medications may affect the test results, so you should be sure to tell your doctor about any prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking to ensure you receive accurate results. If you receive an abnormal result in your PTT test, your doctor will likely order further testing to confirm the results. Some examples include the Russell viper venom time test, and the thromboplastin inhibition test. These tests may be repeated more than once to monitor the development of LA, especially if you have also been diagnosed with Lupus.

In the body of the email, let the support team know that your IP was banned from the site and state why you believe the ban to be unfair.  You have a better chance of getting the ban lifted if you were legitimately not in the wrong. Some claim that people hit the “Report” button whenever they see someone they do not want to see. For example, this might happen if a man wants to reduce the number of men he sees on the site, or if someone is paired with a user they find unattractive. If you suspect that you were banned for a reason like this, state that in the message. Regardless of the reason you were banned, your best bet is to apologize and promise to behave yourself in the future. Chatroulette bans users by IP address, so they'll need to know yours in order to unban you. The fastest way to find your external IP address is to visit https://www.google.com and search for the phrase what is my IP address?. It could take hours, days, or weeks for Chatroulette to respond. In the meantime, continue checking the site to see if the ban has been lifted.  Chatroulette is under no obligation to lift the ban or reply to your email, no matter how innocent you may be.

Although there’s some debate, most doctors agree that being barefoot is great for foot development. Shoes can look great and provide warmth for a non-walking child. However, once your kid is mobile, ditching the shoes is best. This allows your kid’s foot to develop naturally and build strength in growing tendons without relying on the support of shoes.   It’s great to let your kid run around barefoot, but make sure to keep an eye on the terrain. Walking on the grass may be fine, but be on the lookout for sharp objects that could hurt your unsuspecting explorer. Your child’s feet may get cold so socks are important, whether they’re sleeping or on the move.  With your kid’s feet constantly growing, you’ll want to choose a sock that fits properly without being constricting. When fitting socks, it’s a good idea to always make sure they’re at least ¼ inch longer than the big toe. Although barefoot is best, your kid will need shoes eventually. Many doctors say shoes aren’t necessary until your kid is walking outside. There are so many stylish options for kid’s shoes but comfort and health should be your top priority.  Avoid overly stiff shoes. You may think they’re more protective, but developing muscles in your child's feet need to grow and develop on their own. An overly sturdy shoe may also do the work that your child’s developing muscles should be doing, hindering their development.    Choose comfort over fashion. It may be tempting to choose a pair of stylish shoes for your new walker, but always choose proper support and fit over good looks. For an early walker, shoes with leather bottoms may be best for traction’s sake, whereas those entering into a walking/running phase may want something a little more athletic. Kids feet are always growing — sometimes as much as much as a half size every two months. You may want to buy big shoes to anticipate that next growth spurt, but shoes that are too big greatly increase the chance of stumbles and falls. Stay proactive to prevent overly tight shoes.

It will introduce you to resources and people who challenge you and help you engage with learning. There are ways do this sort of learning without spending a fortune.  Quite a few prestigious universities, such as Oxford and Harvard, offer free online courses for students and non-students alike, with pre-recorded lectures and access to the syllabi.  Many university courses post their syllabi online. By buying or checking out the books used in a class of interest even non-students can keep up with current intellectual trends and continue their education. Museum and universities often bring in speakers from around the world to lecture on a variety of topics. Many of these are free and open to the public. Check on your local museum and university websites. The lecture series are usual easy to find, because they want people to attend them. Books, newspapers, magazines, websites. You will get a variety of information and viewpoints, which can help you broaden your mind and learn more about different topics.  Make sure to read viewpoints other than yours.

Although this is an inexpensive, nontoxic ingredient, it's not commonly available in local stores. You'll probably have an easier time buying it online. (You may be able to take it from a squeeze-activated warming pad instead.) Sodium acetate is also sold as "sodium acetate anhydrous," and some vendors do not specify which form they mean. The instructions below cover both forms. Place the sodium acetate in a steel or Pyrex container, then place that container in a pot of boiling water. It should melt to pure liquid sodium acetate trihydrate, or "hot ice."  If the sodium acetate does not melt, you've bought sodium acetate anhydrous. To turn it into sodium acetate trihydrate, add hot water while it's still in the boiling water bath. It will take about 2 mL water for every 3 grams of sodium acetate to fully dissolve the substance. Don't use all of your sodium acetate. You'll need a little for later. Transfer to a clean container, cover, and place in an ice bath or fridge until it reaches room temperature or below. Make sure not to get any solid sodium acetate in this container, or it will freeze too early. The solid crystal is a nucleation point, meaning it allows the other sodium acetate molecules to stick around it and expand into a crystal form. Soon the whole container should look like a block of ice — except it's radiating heat! Other impurities can trigger the freezing if they happen to be the right shape. This means you can sometimes trigger it by touching it with a toothpick or your finger, but solid sodium acetate is the only reliable way.

Although this is certainly easier said than done, do your best to not let things get escalated. Neither of you will be thinking straight and this may give him the opportunity to slam the door and run away. If you give him the opportunity to escape the conversation, he may be able to get the time he needs to concoct a convincing lie. Instead, bring the conversation up in a calm and collected way.  For example, you might say, "I wouldn't throw this out there lightly, but I'm really worried that you've been showing behaviors that suggest to me that you may be having an affair and I want to talk about that with you." If you find yourself getting worked up, try taking a few deep breaths in and out. Try to remind yourself that although the pain may be near unbearable now, all emotional pain heals over time. If he tries to turn the conversation to you, such as that you are crazy or invaded his private space, calmly state that his behavior gave you serious concerns and that the conversation you are having is about whether or not he cheated on you. Try to be as rational and logical as possible and re-affirm that his behavior led you to become concerned and that you felt it was warranted to poke around given how serious cheating is. Try to get a sense of why he had an affair; there will generally be a reason behind it.  This will help you to decide whether you want to try to repair the relationship or whether it is time to let it go. Try to gauge whether he seems sincere; go with your gut instinct here. If it seems like he is just telling you what you want to hear, be wary. Although you should go into the conversation with some sense of whether you want to end the relationship should he confess to cheating or try to repair it, re-assess this based on the conversation. For example, if he admits to having a sex addiction and has convincing evidence that he in fact does and he genuinely wants to repair the relationship, you might decide to change your mind and attempt a repair.

Although treatments at home are effective, they will usually take many months to be effective. If you want your warts to disappear faster, it's best to seek the care of your doctor. Permanent eradication may still take a long time, even when  warts are treated by a doctor. Plantar warts will often disappear on their own and will not leave a scar; however, this can take several months to happen. The warts may be painful and it will be difficult to walk in the meantime. Soften the top of the wart by soaking your foot in warm water for several minutes. Then take the excess skin off the top with a pumice stone or nail file. Be sure that you don't use this stone or file for anything else, ever, as you can transfer the virus to other areas of the body. Removing the top layer of dead skin will help the product to go deeper into the wart. There are a variety of topical (on the skin) over-the-counter products, such as Compound W, that treat plantar warts using salicylic acid. Treatments come as liquid, gel or patches. Follow the directions on the package to successfully remove your plantar wart. Salicylic acid treatments are not painful but it can take several weeks for full results to appear. Duct tape should be cut to the size of the wart and placed over the top of it for up to six days. On the seventh day, remove the tape, soak the foot for five minutes in warm water to soften the dead skin on the top, and then use a pumice stone or nail file to buff off the top layers of the wart. Replace the duct tape for another six days.  Do not use the pumice stone or nail file for any other purpose. This process can take several weeks to see results. It is not known why this process is thought to work, but many have good results using this method. The freezing process works to close off the blood supply to the wart. There are over-the-counter medications you can use at home to freeze the wart, including Compound W Freeze Off and Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away. Follow the directions on the product you are using.

Although vitamin and mineral supplements may be able to support weight loss, it's generally difficult to lose weight without modifying how many calories you eat each day.  Most health experts will recommend you cut out about 500 calories daily.  This is a slight decrease that results in about a 1 – 2-pound weight loss each week.  This is considered slow, gradual and safe weight loss.  Try using a food journal or food diary app on your smartphone to help you keep track of how many calories you're eating each day. In addition to monitoring your daily calories, it's important to eat a well-balanced diet daily.  This will help ensure you're meeting your daily recommended amounts of vital nutrients.  Most of your required vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients should come from foods (supplements should only be used as a backup).  Eat foods from each food group most days and include a wide variety of foods from within each food group daily.  Stick to appropriate portion sizes as well.  Following the right portion sizes helps ensure you're eating the right amounts of each food.  Stick to:  3 – 4 oz of lean protein, 1 cup of vegetables or 2 cups of leafy greens, 1/2 cup of fruit and 1 oz or 1/2 cup of grains. Snacks are part of a nutritious diet and even be a part of a weight loss plan.  Be smart about what you choose and how often you snack.  Typically its recommended to keeps snacks at around 150 calories per snack when you're trying to lose weight.  Also try to include a lean protein or a fruit or vegetable in your snacks.  These foods provide your body with the nutrition and energy to keep you going throughout the day. Snack only when you need to.  For example, a pre- or post-workout snack is a good idea or a having a small snack between two meals that are more than four hours apart.  Examples of nutritious, low-calorie snacks include a hard-boiled egg, an individual Greek yogurt or an apple with a cheese stick. One thing that can sabotage your weight loss is liquid calories.

Although you can train your service dog yourself, it’s a good idea to get your first one from a trusted agency. This will help you adjust more quickly to life with your new service dog. Read online reviews or talk to people you know to find an agency with a good reputation and a history of healthy, successful dogs.  Some agencies specialize in training dogs to deal with specific disabilities, while others train specific breeds or rescue dogs. No matter what type of agency you choose, be sure that they are confident that the dog's training enables them to provide you with the assistance you need. It's possible to train a dog you already have or to adopt a dog from a shelter and have that dog trained as a service dog. However, not all dogs are suited to be service animals. In fact, the dropout rate for dogs in training as service animals is about 50%.  Each agency will have its own list of application requirements, so be sure to go over those carefully before submitting your service dog application. Try testing the dog’s sensitivity to loud noises as well as to being petted all over their body. Give the dog a few simple commands, such as “Sit” or “Come" to see if they are inclined to obedience. Also pay attention to whether or not the dog seems in good health and if they respond positively to any other people or dogs in the area. Avoid dogs which demonstrate fear, aggressiveness, or suspicion towards people or other dogs. Meet the parents if it’s at all possible. Check their temperament and personalities as well as their physical traits. Ask if the dogs have been checked for any genetic disorders that may affect your service dog’s health later in life. When it comes to choosing the right service dog for you, ultimately it comes down to the relationship between you and the dog. Make sure the dog fits the requirements you have, but then try to find one you feel a special connection with. You’ll be spending a lot of time together, so pick a dog with a personality you like! Service dogs are not required to be...

Although you don't need to make any special preparations before taking a bone scan, you should dress in comfortable, easily removed clothes and refrain from wearing any jewelry. Metal jewelry and watches, in particular, should be left at home or removed just prior to the bone scan because they can affect the results.  Like other diagnostic imaging tests, such as x-rays, any metal on your body will make the bone scan images look white or lighter than surrounding areas. Tell the radiologist and/or technician if you have any metal fillings in your mouth or metal implants in your body, so they can make note of it and not confuse them with diseases processes. Wearing clothes that are easily removed is a good idea because you may be asked to wear a hospital gown. Inform your doctor if your pregnant or potentially pregnant because the radiation exposure from the radiotracer can be harmful to the baby. As such, bone scans aren't often performed on pregnant women or nursing mothers — the breast milk can become slightly radioactive and harm the baby also.  There are other imaging tests for bone that are safer for pregnant women, such as MRI studies and diagnostic ultrasound. Short-term osteoporosis is not uncommon with pregnant women who are malnourished because minerals are leached from their bones to provide for the growing baby. Although you can eat and drink normally just prior to your bone scan, tell your doctor about the medications you're taking, as these may affect your test. For example, medicines that contain barium or bismuth affect bone scan test results, so you should avoid taking them for at least four days prior to your appointment.  Bismuth is found in a variety of medicinal products, such as Pepto-Bismol, Kaopectate, Devrom and De-Nol. Bismuth and barium can cause areas of your body to look too light on bone scans

Although you don’t have to be the first person to invent your product to get a patent, you will still need to keep a record of your invention including the complete range of specs and uses.  Record the process of inventing your product. Write down how you came up with the idea, what inspired you, how long it took, and why you want to make it. List all the things you will need to create it, all the possible parts and materials for your invention. Keep a record of your research showing that you did not encounter any other products on the market that are similar in design to yours and already have a patent. You have to prove that your invention is unique in order to qualify for a patent.  Consider the commercial sales value of your invention. There are fees involved in getting a patent even if you don’t use a patent lawyer. Before committing to these fees, make sure you’ve recorded the commercial value and potential income based on sales of your invention. This way, you will know that the earning potential of your product outweighs the amount you will pay in fees. Create an informal drawing of your invention. You don’t need to have anything fancy created, but having an accurate drawing of your invention may be required to file for your patent. If you are not an artist yourself, consider having an artistic friend or family member create the drawing for you. Although patent attorneys can be very expensive, their help can be invaluable. The main job of a patent attorney is to help get you a patent and to deal with patent infringement.  Patent attorneys can give advice based on the most recent changes in patent law to make sure you are always up-to-date. Should someone infringe on your patent (once you get it), your patent attorney can help you take legal steps to deal with the issue or sue them if necessary. If your invention is classified under the “technology” category, a patent attorney can be especially helpful in making sure similar technological advances are not already underway by other companies or...

Although you don’t want to provoke an angry confrontation, you also don’t need to be a passive-aggressive person’s punching bag. Passive aggression can be very damaging and a form of abuse. It’s your right to set boundaries.  One of the biggest mistakes people make is to be way too lenient. Once you give in to passive-aggressive behavior, you lose your options. This is, at its root, a power struggle. You can remain positive and calm, while still being strong and firm about how much you are willing to take. Follow through on the limits you set. Make it clear that you won't tolerate being mistreated. If a person is constantly late and it bothers you, make it clear to the person that next time she is late meeting you for a movie, you're just going to go in without her. That’s a way of saying you’re not going to pay the price for his or her behavior. The best way to deal with this type of anger is to detect any changes as soon as possible. The best way to do this is to get to the root of the anger.  If this person is one who doesn't typically show anger, then talk to someone who knows the person well enough to tell what angers him or her, and what subtle signs that the person may give when angry. Dig deeply, and honestly assess what might be driving the passive aggression. Passive-aggressive behavior is usually a symptom of another cause. There's aggressive communication, there's passive communication, and there's passive-aggressive communication. None of these is as effective as assertive communication.  Assertive communication means being assertive and nonreactive, yet respectful. Show confidence, be collaborative, and express that you want to solve the problem in a way that works for both people.  It's also important to listen and not inject accusations or blame into the conversation. Consider the other person’s point-of-view, and acknowledge it. Validate their feelings, even if you think they are wrong. If a person is passive-aggressive towards you on a regular basis, it is perfectly reasonable to avoid that...

Although you may be dating your boyfriend during his divorce, you will still have to contend with how his wife might view you.  You will have to be careful with any interaction you might have with your boyfriend's wife as they may feel resentful towards you and try to cause you trouble.  Your boyfriends wife may try to turn his children against you. The wife of your boyfriend might try to attack your image amongst family and friends. Your relationship may cause the divorce proceedings to take longer or become more expensive. Dating your boyfriend during a divorce can be a troublesome and difficult time for both of you.  Keeping your relationship discreet and private can help keep things as calm and stable as can be during the divorce proceedings.  Wait until after the divorce before making your relationship a public one. Don't get involved with your boyfriend's children until after the divorce is finalized. If you start dating your boyfriend while he still lives with his wife, this might be legally determined to be the reason for the failure of his marriage.  If your relationship is determined to be the reason his marriage failed it can cause your boyfriend to lose more of his assets during the divorce. Wait until your boyfriend is living away from his wife before dating.

Although you may be terrified of putting yourself in social situations, you should seek out social situations. The more you avoid something, the more control it has over your mind. The anxiety around it will grow until it becomes something you fear. The more you get used to something, the less fear and control it has over you.  Try making spaces yours. Anything is nerve-wracking when it's unfamiliar. Go to a restaurant, a part of town, or your gym. Walk around. Become familiar with it. Once you start to become familiar with a place, it can feel more comfortable. Plus, you start to put your focus on your surroundings. Then you can start socializing with people. Take someone with you. You don't have to do this alone. Take a friend or family member to an event. Start small. Take a free class at a community center, go to a group class at the gym, volunteer, or join a meet up group and attend a gathering. Finding people with similar interests can help you interact with people. Clubs and groups may give you a smaller environment to socialize in, which may help your anxiety. This makes it easier to force yourself to talk, because you can't just get lost in the crowd. When you are in a social situation, try concentrating on the conversation instead of your own anxieties. This helps you connect with the other people, which is a good thing, and offers you opportunities to talk. When you start to worry about how you look to everyone else, pause and refocus on the present moment. Add comments and talk when it seems natural. Focus on the present, instead of replaying things that have already happened. When you are in a situation that causes you anxiety, try to hang in there. At first, the anxiety may feel unbearable, but anxiety gradually lessens the longer you are in a situation. Try to stay in the situation until your anxiety reduces by half. This may take up to half an hour, but oftentimes it lessens quickly. Some social situations are quick, like saying hello or making small talk. Although that may cause anxiety that...

Stop using any herbal treatment if you develop a rash, itching, burning, or redness while using it. Call your doctor if those symptoms don’t clear up in a few weeks.

Although you should give just about anyone a chance to prove themselves, being approached by a stranger in a public place usually relies on spontaneous decision making. If there's something about the stranger's approach that's made you uneasy, it's a good idea to go with your gut and reject. On the other hand, if you feel good and like the attention, don't be afraid to let it continue and see where it goes. Saying "Yes" because you feel pressured is a bad move. It's a common mistake to make, but you should take care to avoid it in the future. You can always just say "No." Unlike a friend approaching you, where you may care about his feelings, a stranger can be dismissed more easily. The best rejections are done in a few words or less.  You can reject someone through body language as well. If you're in a loud environment like a club, you can simply shake your head. This should get the message across in most cases. Say something like: "I'm not interested." It's simple, gets the job done, and you're not going out of your way to help or hurt the other person. If someone asks you out, a more persistent sort may try to analyze what you've said and look for loopholes. That's why the best way to reject someone is to do it in as straightforward a way as possible. Giving false hope at the start increases the risk of getting a stalker later on. If you're going to lie your way through a rejection, you need to make sure your excuse can't be called out. Whether any of it is true or not, saying you're already in a relationship keeps the other person from feeling personally hurt. This is a very common technique, but it should only be done if you don't think the other person will find out you're lying. Simply saying "I have a boyfriend/girlfriend" can save the other person from taking the rejection personally. Saying something as simple as "Sorry, I'm not interested" is perfectly okay, but apologizing can become a problem if you do too much of it. It ends up seeming like you're being condescending to the other person. Worse...

Although you shouldn't let yourself worry too much about the expense of a gift, it can't hurt to see if and where you can get a deal on the gift you've chosen to purchase. If it's a fairly common item, you'll probably have an option of a few different stores near you. Although prices for some items are standardized, there's always a possibility that one store will have some sort of edge over the others. Checking to compare prices of stores or online marketplaces doesn't take long to do, and you could end up saving yourself some money by doing so. You can sometimes take advantage of great sales. Certain sales, like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, offer major discounts on items. If you're buying this gift for a particular date, such as a birthday or anniversary, it stands to reason that you'll need the gift ready on the day of, and preferably at least a few days before that. Much postage takes 1-2 weeks to get a package on your doorstep. You should take this delay into consideration when you make your purchase. Due to unforeseen issues with the postal service, it's a good idea to give yourself at least a week's leeway. If your boyfriend lives with you, you should consider the risk that he may be the one to see the package on your doorstep  before you. If this is a risk you should have the package shipped somewhere else like a friend's place. Whether you're going to a store or buying the gift online, there will come a moment of truth where you hand over your money and get the gift. Although it's most likely your boyfriend will love the gift you bought for him, it's always good form to ask for a gift receipt. That way, if for whatever reason your boyfriend would prefer something else, he can get store credit instead. Online purchases will take at least a week to arrive on your doorstep. Although wrapping is sometimes seen as an unnecessary add-on, the time it takes to unwrap the gift adds to the suspense, making the gift-giving more enjoyable for both you and your boyfriend. You can put your gift in an envelope as...

Although you typically feel physically hungry at some point during your workday, you may also encounter "head hunger" or emotional hunger.  Learn to differentiate the difference between these two forms of hunger. This may help you realize that you may not be as hungry during your workday as previously thought. Head hunger comes from a variety of things. It can be triggered by an afternoon lull in your work or boredom, stress from other co-workers or your boss, increased workload, or underlying emotional issues like depression. Typically, emotional hunger comes on suddenly, provides a craving for a very specific food, and persists even after you're full.  Physical hunger makes you feel empty, like a pit in your stomach and may come along with hunger pangs, a growling stomach and maybe even some irritability or fatigue. If you think that some of the "hunger" you experience during your workday may be emotional or head hunger, consider starting a food journal to help you out.  Begin by tracking all the foods you eat during the day. You may need to bring your journal to work with you or use a smart phone app to keep track of all the snacks or nibbles you eat while you're at work. Note your breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and beverages you eat or drink. After a few days of this, start adding in feelings and emotions. You can do this periodically throughout the day or at the end of your day. Note if you felt stressed, got in an argument with a co-worker, have been working late hours or if there are stressful things going on at home. Begin making associations between your eating habits and your emotions. For example, you snacked all afternoon after getting in an argument with your co-worker. This will show you the "stressor" and your reaction. If you feel like you're an emotional eater and much of your workday hunger is head hunger, consider building a support group to help you manage this issue.  Studies have shown that you're more likely to give into emotional eating or head hunger without a support group. This is...

Although you will most likely have submitted a copy of your resume already as a part of the application process, be sure that your resume is completely up-to-date with all relevant employment history, skills, and educational history. Your resume should be clear, concise, typo- and grammar error-free, and possess a consistent format. Bring 2-3 copies of your resume printed on resume or linen paper in case something happens to the first copy or you end up being interviewed by multiple people at the same time. Hopefully you knew a little something about the company before you threw your resume out there, but in case you didn't, get to know them before you interview. Look them up on a search engine for a history and more information. Look for a business profile on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, or the company website to get a feel for what the business is about and how current or former employees feel about working there. You can even look for them in headlines in the news to find out what current projects they might be undertaking.  Before you go into the interview, you should know who founded the company, when it was founded, who the current CEO is, what industry the business is in, and what the business's mission statement is. Take notes about key information you find while researching and review it repeatedly so that you'll have it memorized before the interview. Although you cannot know for sure what questions you will be asked on an interview, you can take a guess. There are numerous websites that have compiled the top 10 all the way up to the top 100 questions asked in interviews. You can familiarize yourself with questions such as "Why do you want to work for us," and "What is your greatest weakness," instead of being blindsided by them. Some websites will even give you tips and concrete examples for how you can try answering them.

Although you're leaving a job, you don't want to completely sever all relationships. Nowadays, most people stay in touch through social media. Create a LinkedIn or Google+ profile. If you already have profiles, make sure they are updated to reflect your new job. You should have a face-to-face meeting with important colleagues and mentors about two months after you leave. This will allow you to catch up and continue your relationship into the future. Remember not to gossip, even though you no longer work at the company. Mentoring doesn't end when you leave a company. Instead, your mentor can continue to advise you about your career long after you've moved on. Schedule regular meetings. You can also join professional organizations where you might get to work side-by-side with your mentor. You should also maintain relationships with any mentees. At some point, they will move up in the profession and be at a point where they can help you in your own career. Accordingly, you want to maintain these relationships.

Although your adrenaline might be pumping during the negotiation process and this can be a stressful situation, you will do more to help your case by being respectful, polite, and calm.You could lose your negotiating power by being disrespectful or trying to strong-arm someone.  If this situation goes the way you hope, the person you are negotiating with will likely be your landlord, and you don’t want to start off with a negative relationship. People are usually more willing to be accommodating and helpful if they are being treated well. No one wants to deal with a rude tenant. When negotiating, it’s important to initially ask for a lower price than you are willing to pay, because it’s possible the landlord might agree to the deal. If they aren’t amenable to the initial offer, this tactic usually encourages them to name an alternate price, and then you can counter with another offer. One of the keys to successful negotiating is offering a deal in which the other person also wins something. Offering to give up on something or be accommodating might help you seal the deal. Here are a few ideas to consider:  If you do not have a car, you might be able to give up access to a parking space. If you have the available funds, you could offer to pay your rent in advance. Commit to a longer lease term in exchange for a lower price. Agree to provide longer notice when moving out. If the landlord is unwilling or unable to lower the rental price, you might still be able to negotiate amenities or discounts that save you money and make the apartment a more affordable option. Unless you are willing to ask, you never know what options might be available.  Ask for specific repairs to be made to the apartment or painting to be completed before you move into the unit. See if you can pay a lower security deposit or if application fees can be waived. Request free parking or additional parking. Ask that utilities be included.
