Cutting calories and changing your diet is the best method for weight loss.  Cutting out about 500 – 750 calories daily is a good place to start when you're trying to lose weight. You'll usually lose about 1 pound per week when you cut out this many calories — possibly 2 pounds if you are able to incorporate some exercise into your week.  Start by figuring out how many calories you typically eat on a given day. You can use a food journal app or website to get an semi-accurate idea of what you currently take in. Subtract 500 – 750 calories from this number to get an idea of a weight loss calorie limit for you. Note that it's not a good idea to skip meals or eat too few calories each day. This could result in fatigue, loss of lean muscle mass and nutrient deficiencies. Try not to decrease your calorie intake to less than 1,200 calories daily. In addition to monitoring calories, it's also important to focus on a well-balanced diet when you're trying to lose weight.  A balanced diet is one that focuses on each of the food groups — grains, protein, dairy, fruits and vegetables. Each food group provides your body with a variety of essential nutrients to perform the vital functions of life. The number of servings you need of each food group daily depends on your age, sex, and activity level. Eat a serving of lean protein at each meal and snack to help meet your minimum daily needs. Eat a fruit or vegetable at each meal and/or try to make each of your meals half fruits and vegetables. In addition to eating enough of certain food groups, a balanced diet also is one that makes sure you don't eat too much of certain types of foods. Items like sweetened beverages, sweetened foods and high fat or greasy processed foods should be limited in your diet. A calorie-controlled, balanced diet will definitely be key to your weight loss success. Measuring portions will help make this easier.  One serving of protein is 3 – 4 oz or about 1/2 cup.  One serving of fruits and vegetables are: 1/2 cup of cut fruit, one small fruit (like...

Cutting them off before they are finished is very rude. Imagine how many times they have to recite the same speech every day and how often people are probably rude to them. The least you can do is give them the courtesy of hearing them out. However, if the telemarketer’s initial sales pitch is very longwinded, feel free to politely interrupt to tell them that you aren’t interested and you wish to be added to their do not call list. It is a better idea to politely interrupt them than to hang up out of frustration because this will simply make the telemarketer think you were disconnected and get you put on the list to call back later. A good way to do this is simply by saying, "No, I'm sorry but at this time I am not interested in your product/services." Don’t give the telemarketer hope that you might be interested because this might get you sucked into a longer unwanted conversation. Most telemarketers won’t hang up until they’ve heard you refuse them (say no) three times. Be kind, but firm and clearly say no to any of their inquiries. Be firm, but clear. Tell the telemarketer calling you that you do not wish to receive solicitation calls from their business in the future.  You can say something like, Thank you for your offer and your time, but I would appreciate it if you remove me from your calling list. I will not be needing your products/services in the future. Remember, it is much more effective for you to firmly say “Please put me on your Do Not Call List” than to ask them a question: “Can you put me on your Do Not Call List?” Make sure they provide you with a Do Not Call Confirmation Number. They are required to do this by law.  Write this confirmation number down as it ensures that they will have added you to their list and will not be calling you back. Try to politely excuse yourself by making it clear that you are not interested. However, if they refuse to end the conversation, then you should just hang up.

Cyberbullies often use pictures, status updates, and personal information they find online to harass their targets. It’s fine to share information about yourself online, but never reveal something you don’t want the whole world to know. Even if you want to have a serious, personal conversation with a friend, do so in person, not over tweets, Facebook posts, or Instagram comments.  For example, don’t take an explicit photo of yourself to post on a private Tumblr page. Information typed into a Facebook comment, Tumblr post, or Instagram comment could land in the hands of a cyber bully. Try not to discuss deeply personal information online. If you’re feeling marginalized or picked on, it’s tempting to channel those negative feelings into bullying activities, to give yourself a sense of power. But, even if you’re the one doing it, cyberbullying is still wrong. Your behavior can influence other people’s actions, so make it clear that you don’t stand for cyberbullying by setting a good example for others. If your friends start teasing someone online or via text, don’t participate. Ask them to stop, and let them know that cyberbullying has the same dangerous consequences as in-person bullying does. This software or app will block attempts at bullying and keep your child from seeing inappropriate online content. If you don’t already have this, then ask your parents about installing it. If you’re a parent, then go ahead and install protective software—or turn on privacy apps—as a protective measure.

Cystitis refers to a UTI in the lower urinary tract including the bladder and urethra. These UTIs are more common than pyelonephritis, which is a UTI in the upper urinary tract and kidney. UTIs in the kidney are much more rare. If you are concerned your child has an upper UTI, take him or her to the hospital. In cystitis, the symptoms are primarily the result of inflammation/infection of the lining of the bladder wall and urethra. This may cause any of the following:  Pain or the sensation of "burning" during urination. Pain felt in the abdomen just above the pubic bone. More frequent urination during the day or at night and sometimes with only small amounts of urine produced. Note that the frequency may be masked by attempts to hold off on urination because of the pain. Frequency is often accompanied by the sudden urgent need to urinate. Urine with an unusually strong odor, or appearing cloudy or bloody. Low-grade fever. Infections of the kidney (pyelonephritis) are generally more serious infections although symptoms, particularly in infants and very young children, may not immediately point to the kidneys. If you think your child may have pyelonephritis, take him/her to the hospital. Symptoms of cystitis may be present in addition to:  A more severe generalized ill appearance. High fever. Nausea or vomiting. Shaking chills. Pain in the flank (the side of the back).

Cysts often form in areas where sweat, oils and grime accumulate and get trapped against your skin, such as the back and buttocks. If you have a lot of body hair, you might be especially vulnerable to getting cysts on your back. You are also at risk if you are physically active or spend a lot of time in the heat. If you’re cyst-prone, ask your doctor or dermatologist to recommend a good antibacterial cleanser. Antibacterial soaps containing triclosan and triclocarban are no longer approved by the FDA in the U.S. Ask your doctor about safer and more effective alternatives, such as tea tree oil soap. Your clothing can trap heat, sweat and oils against your skin, contributing to the development of cysts. If you work out or spend a lot of time outdoors in hot weather, opt for loose, breathable cotton garments. Avoid skin-tight garments and synthetic materials, such as Lycra or nylon. low in unhealthy fats. Eating certain types of foods, especially greasy and processed junk foods, may contribute to the development of cysts. Fatty meats and chocolate can also cause problems for some people. If you’re prone to cysts, avoid junk food and stick to a healthy, varied diet with lots of leafy greens, colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins (such as fish or chicken breast). Zinc may help prevent cysts and acne. Good sources of dietary zinc include oysters, poultry, beans, nuts, shellfish, whole grains, and fortified cereals. Infections in ingrown hair follicles often develop into cysts. While ingrown hairs are not always preventable, you can minimize them by exfoliating your skin regularly (e.g., once a week) and moisturizing your skin daily with a gentle, oil-free moisturizer.  If you shave your hair, always wet your skin first. Shave with a clean, sharp blade and use shaving cream or gel to minimize nicks and scrapes. Cleansing your skin regularly with glycolic or salicylic acid cleansing pads may also help prevent ingrown hairs and infected follicles.

DIY foundries consist of the furnace body, insulation/lining, crucible, propane tank and burner, as well as a lid. You will also need protective gloves, a suitable face guard, and a set of lifting tongs for moving the crucible. Keep in mind that while is is possible to construct a safe furnace, it is exceedingly important that you properly insulate your foundry to prevent any injury to yourself or others.  DIY furnace bodies are typically cylindrical and made of metal. Depending on the size of your furnace — which you can determine by the volume of metal you would like to melt — you can use metal cans from bulk food purchases, or a stainless steel crockpot. Kaowool (a ceramic fiber with high-heat resistance) is an ideal lining for metal melting furnaces.  Crucibles are the container in which you will place the metal scraps to be melted. The liquified copper will pool here; it is necessary that you use a material that will not melt or crack at the temperatures needed to melt your copper. Clay graphite is a common choice.  For the propane burner, you do not want something used for cooking, but instead a torch-like fixture to position through the foundry exterior and by the crucible. These are widely available online. The lid will be fashioned out of a smaller top portion of whatever you choose to be your foundry body. Foundry lids have a small hole in the top that allows for ventilation and the prevention of dangerous pressure build-up. High temperature gloves used in the molten metal industry, as well as a face shield of durable material are recommended. It is useful to know that your flame itself will not be reaching the necessary temperatures; thanks to proper insulation, the crucible center will be super-heated to a point where copper will melt. Because copper has a high melting temperature of 1083°C (1981°F), induction furnaces are typically needed. Although highly expensive industrial machines, induction furnaces will guarantee for a level of safety that is not present in self-constructed foundries.  The...

Dab a Q-tip or cotton ball with tea tree oil and apply directly to the affected areas before bedtime. Rinse off the tea tree before washing your face in the morning. Combine one to two drops of tea tree oil with one tablespoon of coconut oil. Massage the mixture onto the affected area. Repeat this several times a day. Apply a drop of tea tree oil directly onto the wart a few times a day. Keep in mind, however, that warts are difficult to remove. This method may not always work for everyone. Combine one to two drops of tea tree oil with one teaspoon of olive oil. Use a Q-tip or cotton ball to apply the mixture onto the sore. Repeat this several times a day. Use a Q-tip to rub some tea tree oil directly onto the affected toenail. Try to get the oil underneath the tip of the nail as well. If you need to use more oil, use a fresh Q-tip. Do not double-dip Q-tips into the oil. Repeat this once to twice a day for about six months.  Some people find that tea tree oil is alone is not enough to treat the fungus, and that some dietary changes are also necessary. You can also create a tea tree oil foot soak. Fill a small tub with warm water. Add some Epsom salts, one drop of tea tree oil, and one drop of lavender oil. Let your toes soak in the water for a few minutes. Combine five to six drops of tea tree oil with one tablespoon of coconut oil. Wash your feet, then massage the oil onto your feet. Repeat this twice daily for about one month. You may also use this on other skin infections as well, but avoid using it in sensitive areas, such as the genitals. Rub one to two drops of tea tree oil all around the base of the infected ear. Repeat this every two to three hours. Use one drop of tea tree oil for every ounce (30 mL) of shampoo. Add the oil directly into the bottle, close the bottle, and shake it to mix. Do not apply undiluted tea tree oil directly onto your scalp.

Daikon radishes do best when they are planted in cool weather. When you plant will depend on the climate where you live. For example, if you live in a climate where the temperatures do not start to drop until December, then planting in October might be best. If temperatures start to drop in April, then you might want to plant in February.  Checking the temperature of the soil can help you to determine the best time to plant. The soil temperature should be between 60 to 85 °F (16 to 29 °C) for optimal germination.  Stick a soil thermometer about 6 inches (15 cm) into the soil to check the temperature. If the soil is hard, then use a screwdriver to poke a hole through the soil first. A loosely-packed garden bed (raised or at ground level) or a pot with loosely-packed soil is ideal for growing daikon. The soil will need to be loose far down enough to support daikon growth, so check to ensure that you will have at least 12 inches (30 cm) of loosely-packed soil where you will be growing daikon.  If the soil is tightly-packed, then you can loosen it with a garden fork. Dig the garden fork into the ground and then tilt it and bring it back up through the soil. Do this as many times as needed to loosen the soil. If you are planting daikon in pots or a planter, avoid packing the soil down. Just pour it in and do not press on it. Choose a sunny location in your garden to grow daikon in the ground. If you will be growing daikon indoors, then place the container next to a south-facing window or purchase a grow light to place the daikon under. To find a sunny spot in your yard, go outside at various times of the day to see where the sun is shining. For example, you could go outside at 8:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 4:00 pm to check the location of the sunlight in your yard. Daikon radishes need room to grow, so make sure that you are spacing out your rows by 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm). You can grow radishes in all of the rows, or grow daikon in 1 row and grow a different crop in the next row. If you are planting daikon in a...

Daily maintenance will help keep old hardwood floors in the best shape. Sweep or dust-mop them daily to remove dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris. Be sure to sweep and mop in the direction of the wood grain. This helps prevent dirt and grime from getting stuck in cracks between planks. A microfiber towel is also great for removing dust. Vacuuming your hardwood floors will get rid of dust and dirt between the floor boards. Using the bare floor setting will help prevent the vacuum from scratching your floor. A hose attachment with a soft bristled brush is also an effective way to prevent scratches. Only use cleaners labelled for hardwood floors. Stay away from vinegar, ammonia, and harsh chemicals. Spray a small amount of hardwood cleaner directly onto the floor, then wipe the floor down with a dry terry cloth mop.  Remember to go with mineral spirits if your finish is unsound. Avoid using water-based hardwood cleaners on an unsound finish. Avoid using a wet mop and always use as little moisture as possible when cleaning your hardwood floors. Coffee, ink, paint, and pet messes are just a few materials that can cause long-term stains. Wipe up these and other spills immediately so prevent stains from setting. Use a slightly dampened cloth and avoid over-saturating the floor with water.

Damaged hair is very brittle, and it needs to be handled with care. If you're rough with your hair it can split or break, and it will look more frizzy than ever. Starting today, handle your hair with extra care, whether it's wet or dry. Here's what to do:  When you're applying shampoo and other products, use your fingers to gently pull the product through your hair from roots to tips. Don't scrub your hair. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water, not hot water. Don't wring out your hair or roughly towel it dry. Squeeze out the water gently, then pat it dry with an old t-shirt, chamois or soft towel. When you wash your hair, the natural oils that protect it from getting dry and brittle get stripped away. Do it too often and your hair will become frizzy and damaged. Cut back to washing your hair only once or twice a week so it has time to recover. After just a week or so, you should notice a positive change in the texture of your hair.  When you do shampoo, use only as much product as you need. A dime-or quarter sized amount is fine. Your hair shouldn't be dripping with soap. If your roots start to look oily between washes, touch them up with dry shampoo. After a few weeks of washing less, it'll take longer and longer for your roots to need a touch-up. Realize that overuse of dry shampoo can dry out your hair and may damage it. You've probably heard that using a hair dryer wreaks havoc on hair, especially if it's already damaged. Put down the hair dryer and let your hair air dry naturally. Get down with your natural hair texture; if you learn to love it and leave it alone, it will start getting less frizzy and dry.  Avoid heat styling tools, too. Use curling and straightening irons very sparingly, if at all. If you do feel the need to use a hair dryer, use the coolest setting that works for your hair, typically finer textures should use lower temperatures. When finished, set the style with the cool shot. Brushes with plastic bristles drag through your hair, violently pulling out the tangles and causing rips and...

Dandelion is an herb which is used as a food additive in various preparations like salads, dressings, teas, coffees, and chocolates. Dandelion is rich in potassium and has a diuretic-like action, meaning it helps clear away excess water from the body. Hence, it’s very useful in increasing the urinary output. As a cleansing agent, taking about 10-15 drops of dandelion mother tincture 3 times a day is useful to detox the kidneys and can be safely continued for up to 6 months. This is an excellent natural supplement for kidney detox. It helps to repair the inflammation and injury caused to the tissues in the kidney as a result of infections or stones. It contains a glycoside known as arbutin which has antimicrobial properties, thereby helping in treating urinary tract infections.  It also has a muscle relaxant-like action which helps to bring down the swelling in the urinary tract or muscles. It neutralizes the acidic content of the urine, thereby alleviating the burning pain caused by infections. It is generally safe to take this supplement. However, you should not take it if you are on antipsychotic drugs like lithium. Uva ursi can interfere with the way the body gets rid of lithium. This could lead to a high level of lithium in the blood, which can be toxic or fatal. This is an Ayurvedic supplement which boosts kidney health and is beneficial to those who suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections as well as recurrent renal stones. It helps in maintaining the flow of urine and also cools and soothes the urinary membranes, thereby relieving the pain. It also possesses antibiotic properties and may help with bladder infections. A capsule of gokshura can be consumed once or twice a day to maintain renal function. This is an age-old supplement known to flush out renal stones. In homeopathy, a mother tincture prepared from this herb, known as Berberis Vulgaris, may help relieve patients from renal colic. However, the size of the stones should be smaller than the diameter of urethra, otherwise a bigger stone...

Danish is a tricky language, but it does have plenty in common with other north European languages. It is one of five North Germanic languages, along with Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese. Danish is comprehensible for someone fluent in Swedish or Norwegian, so if you can speak Danish you will be able to talk to people across Scandinavia.  An English speaker will recognise quite a few Danish words, which are similar to the English. For example, the Danish word drømme is similar to the English word dream, æg is like egg, flad is like flat, and søster is like sister. A big difference between English and Danish is the way words are pronounced, so it's important to practice your speaking and listening a lot. Grammatically, Danish has two genders, masculine and neuter which take articles en and et. It's best to start by learning a few basic greetings and phrases to give you a taste of speaking Danish, and some early pointers about pronunciation. Here are some easy everyday phrases to practice:  Hello – Hej (pronounced Hi). Good day – Goddag (pronounced Go-day). Goodbye – Farvel (pronounced Fah-vel). Yes – Ja (pronounced Ya). No – Nej (pronounced Nai). Thank you – Tak (pronounced Tack). Excuse me – Undskyld (pronounced Un-school). Sorry – Beklager (pronounced Bi-clay-er). You really need to listen and repeat Danish words to get a hang of the pronunciation, and get used to how letters and words sound. To develop your skills you'll have to practice speaking to people and having conversations in Danish, but before you get to that level you can build confidence by listening to clips online.  Search online for clips of Danish words and phrases. There are a number of websites that have audio clips for key phrases, such as “hej,” “farvel” and “velkommen.” When you're trying to work on your pronunciation in a new language, it's a good idea to pay particular attention to the vowel sounds. There can be a lot of variation in vowel sounds across different languages, and vowel sounds are at the centre of every word....

Dark skin on the upper lip is caused by excess melanin in the skin. You can reduce the appearance of this dark pigmentation by using an over-the-counter or prescription skin lightening cream.  Hydroquinone is a very effective bleaching product for dark skin. Although it is available in the USA, it has been banned in many Asian and European countries due to its potential carcinogenic properties. Therefore, you should speak to your doctor before using this product. You can buy a mask or make your own at home. Apply the mask to the dark skin above your lip. Let it rest for the time specified on the mask's package. Rinse the paste away with some warm water, then pat the skin dry. Use these masks 2 to 3 times a week until the skin becomes lighter.  If you want to make your own mask, mix equal amounts of gram flour, turmeric, lemon juice and honey together in a small bowl until it forms a smooth paste. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the paste is dry. Another good recipe to use is 1 tablespoon (15 ml) each of milk, honey, and lemon juice. Leave this mask on your lips for 20 minutes. Exfoliation can help to slough off the upper layers of dark, pigmented skin and reveal the newer, lighter skin underneath.  Use a facial scrub three or four times per week to exfoliate the skin above your lip. You can use a store-bought product, or make your own scrub using sugar or salt. Chemical exfoliants are also an option. Look for 1 that contains a beta-hydroxy acid, such as salicylic acid. Apply it to the skin above your upper lip to get rid of dead skin cells and hyperpigmentation. Alternatively, you could consider getting a microdermabrasion treatment, which is usually performed by a dermatologist using a rotating brush with a crystal head which effectively removes the upper layers of dark skin. Dark skin on the upper lip may be caused by aggressive hair removal techniques, such as regular waxing.  Therefore, it's a good idea to take a break from waxing for a couple of months, to give your skin a chance lighten on its...

Daydreaming sometimes gets a bad rep, since some people see it as a waste of time. When you have 20 minutes of downtime, shouldn't you be using it more productively? Studies show that daydreaming actually is productive. It has the power to help you be more creative and even motivate you to achieve your goals. So go ahead and give yourself permission to make daydreaming part of your day.   A study conducted at the University of California, Santa Barbara found that daydreamers did 41 percent better on tests measuring creative thinking than people who didn't daydream.  On the other hand, when you let your mind wander away from the present to fantasies that will probably never come true, like wishing you would win the lottery, daydreaming can actually make you feel less happy. Studies seem to indicate that focusing on the present moment leads to greater happiness, so try not to let your daydreaming turn into escapism. Daydreaming, like dreaming at night, is best done when you're in a relatively peaceful environment without a lot of pulls on your attention. Before you start a daydreaming session, try to create a quiet, relaxing atmosphere for yourself, even if you only have a few minutes to spare. This can be done anywhere, anytime, whether you're at home or out and about during your day.  If you can, find a quiet spot in which to daydream, like an empty room or even the bathroom. If you want to daydream in a public place, wearing headphones is a good way to quiet your world enough to let your mind wander. But make sure you pay a little attention to the outside world every now and again. Before you daydream, make sure you aren't hungry, thirsty or otherwise in need of something that could distract you from your daydream. Listening to music can help tune out other distractions and also make the daydream even better, as music is full of emotion. Just pick songs that fit the mood of the dream you are having. Everyone's "daydreaming face" is a little different. Some people find it easy to let their minds wander while...

Daydreaming with a goal in mind can help you motivate yourself to achieve it. Let yourself imagine your life as you'd like it to turn out. Play out your future as you see it unfolding, giving yourself total freedom to indulge your fantasies. Will you become president? Move to a tropical island? Start your own company? Fall in love and start a family? In your daydreams, anything is possible.   Try imagining all the things that would make you happy and putting them into a story. Keeping the story and characters consistent will make it more fun and easier when finding yourself in different surroundings. Keep your stories and situations positive, and build on them each time you daydream. You could also try creating a vision board. These are fantastic tools for situations where you're trying to imagine a specific outcome or need motivation to achieve a goal. Maybe it's not quite as productive as dreaming about your goals, but it's fun to daydream about your favorite things. Dream about things that make you happy, like certain people, activities, places, even foods that bring a smile to your face. Keep in mind, however, that if you make a habit of dreaming of your favorite things as a way to take your mind off of what's right in front of you, you might experience a decrease in happiness.  For example, give yourself a lift by daydreaming about your favorite vacation spot. Your daydream will increase your happiness more if you actually have plans to go there at some point. But if you let yourself daydream about something that's unattainable, like getting romantically involved with someone who isn't single, daydreaming can be a recipe for frustration. Imagine a real life situation and act it out in your mind. Act out the movements in your mind just as powerfully as if you were going to do it. This will enhance your problem-solving ability and your ability to think from another person's point of view.   For a different twist, imagine yourself thrown into the world of your favorite book or movie.  What would you do? ...

Daylilies do best either in the sun or in partial shade. These perennials will grow in almost any type of soil, however they will grow best in more fertile soil.  To test the soil drainage, dig a hole that is 12 in (30 cm) across by 12 in (30 cm) deep. Pour enough water into the hole to fill it, and monitor the water as it drains. If the water takes over 1 hour to drain, this means that the soil has poor drainage. You can improve the soil drainage by adding organic matter to the soil, such as manure, compost, or peat moss.  Avoid planting daylilies beneath trees, as the plants will need to compete with the trees for sunlight and soil nutrients. Use a garden shovel to dig a hole in the designated spot. Form a small mound in the center of the hole that reaches to 0.5 to 1 in (1.3 to 2.5 cm) below the top of the hole, and is approximately 1 in (2.5 cm) wide. If you are digging multiple holes to plant the groups of daylilies, leave 12 to 18 in (30 to 46 cm) of space between each hole to give the daylilies room to grow. Rest the crown of the fans on top of the mound of soil. Let the roots drape down around the mound. Hold the daylily fans steady as you push the soil back into the hole. When the soil reaches the top of the hole, press lightly around it to firm the soil. Use a watering can or garden hose on a low pressure to lightly water the plant. A light sprinkling of water to make the soil damp will do, as this will settle the soil. Spread mulch evenly around each plant. Use ground bark or pine straw mulch for the best results. This will help the daylilies to thrive, and will prevent weed growth. Add either liquid or granular fertilizer at least once per spring season to help your plants thrive. Care for the daylilies and divide them again after approximately 4 years. At the end of spring, remove any dead or dying vegetation.

Dead toenails are often created when blisters (often blood blisters) develop beneath the nail. The blister causes the skin underneath the nail to die, and once that skin dies, the nail separates and lifts away from the toe.  If your toenail has died for another reason, including a fungal infection, there will likely be no blister to drain. Skip directly to the "Removing the Toenail" section of this article and follow the same removal and aftercare procedure. In the case of a fungal infection, visit your doctor, who can prescribe a suitable antifungal cream. Do not attempt to drain a blister underneath your nail if you suffer from diabetes, have peripheral arterial disease, or have any problems with your immune system. These scenarios can result in long term hard to treat infection and wounds not healing appropriately due to decreased immune system and lack of blood flow for healing. In this case, you must consult your physician. You should thoroughly wash the toe and nail area with soap and water. Wash your hands with soap and water, as well. It is critical that you make your toe and hands as sterile as possible before attempting to pierce your blister or remove you toenail. If there is bacteria present, you are placing yourself at risk of infection. You may want to consider swabbing the toenail and surrounding area with iodine. Iodine has been shown to kill the bacteria that causes infection. Wipe a clean, sharp pin, needle, or end of a paperclip with rubbing alcohol in order to sterilize it. Heat the tip of the sharp object of your choosing in a flame until it is visibly red-hot.  To best avoid infection, this process should be done with supervision by medical professional. Any time you attempt a medical procedure at home — even the simplest procedure — you put yourself at risk for infection or making a painful or dangerous mistake. Consider visiting your doctor or an urgent care clinic to remove your toenail instead of doing it yourself. Note that a blunt metal paper clip can be used instead of a pin if...

Deadlifts are a great workout for your whole body. The motion will strengthen your muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the major muscle groups in your body. Incorporate this into your workout to strengthen the ligaments throughout your body.  Stand in front of a barbell with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend down and grab the bar about shoulder-width apart. Don't bend your knees yet. Bend your knees until your shins touch the bar. Straighten your back. Rounding any portion of your spine could result in injury. Take a breath and stand up. Hold it for a second before placing the bar back on the ground. Read Do a Deadlift for more details on the proper technique in doing this exercise. Like dead lifts, this exercise places sustained pressure on your ligaments. Specifically, this workout will strengthen your legs and back.  Set the bar on the rack just below your shoulder level. Get under the bar and place it just below your neck. Then grab it on either side. Lift the bar off the rack. Step back from the rack and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend down until your knees are at a 90 degree angle. Keep your neck and back straight the whole time. When performing the squat, start off with a small range of motion. Drop only a few inches down to start. That way, you'll gradually increase the range of motion your ligaments can handle.  Read Do a Squat for more details on proper technique. Make sure you're aware of the correct way to perform this workout, or you could injure yourself. The bench press is a workout to strengthen your triceps and chest. A smooth motion will help increase your ligament strength in those area.  Like with squats, start off this exercise with a short range of motion. Lie back on the bench with your eyes under the bar. Grab the bar and lift it off the rack. Lower the bar to your mid-chest, then press it back up. Read Bench Press for more details on proper technique for this exercise.

Dealing with a narcissist on a regular basis can be exhausting and disheartening. If the person is a friend, you might be able to avoid spending as much time with them, but it can be especially difficult if you live with the person or work with them. Talk to trustworthy friends and family members about what you’re going through and ask for their support. Try saying something like, “I think John may be a narcissist and I’m having a hard time dealing with him. If I need to talk sometime, can I call you?” If you’re not getting enough support from friends and family or if you just want a different group of people to talk with about your experiences, look into a support group. You may be able to find a local support group, or you can join an online forum if there are not any groups in your area. Try looking on mental health websites to find local and online support groups, or join a forum on a website, such as Reddit. Having a safe space to vent and share about your relationship with a narcissistic person can help you to feel better in your day-to-day life. A therapist can also teach you tools for communicating with the narcissistic person and responding when they say or do upsetting things. You can ask your doctor for a referral, ask friends and family for suggestions, or search online to find a therapist. If the situation has become verbally, emotionally, or physically abusive, reach out to people who can help you. Call a domestic abuse hotline or call emergency services if you’re in danger, such as if the person is threatening you or trying to attack you physically.

Dean's first experience shooting targets proved that he was a natural shot. Even if you find you're less naturally apt when it comes to handling a firearm, you should take a firearm safety class so that you know how to handle a firearm safely. If you're a beginner when it comes to shooting a weapon, you may want to start with something a little less dangerous, like an airsoft gun. Many sporting goods stores, firing ranges, and hunting supply stores offer hunter's safety/firearm safety classes. Once you know how to safely handle a gun, you can start target practice. Dean is a skilled driver and a accomplished mechanic. You don't have to to master these skills in particular to be like Dean; it's likely that he would appreciate any practical skill that helped fighting the supernatural. Some skills you might consider:  Tracking animals Camouflaging yourself Welding Dean and Sam have little time to work honest jobs while running around the country putting evil down. To make ends meet while on the road Dean will often hustle money out of bar patrons in games of pool. If you decide to try your hand at hustling, you should be careful! Many places have laws against this sort of thing, and if you win big you might make someone upset enough to start a fight.  Instead of pool, you might find that you're stronger at playing darts. But even where darts are concerned, hustling may be illegal where you live and may get you into trouble. Dean is also quite fond of cards. Playing poker won't require a billiard table or dart board and requires little space. Carry a deck of cards around with you and perfect your poker skill so you can win the pot just like Dean. While Dean might come off as a womanizing meat-head, according to his brother Sam, aside from being one of the best hunter's of the supernatural Sam's ever met, Dean is also one of the best educated in lore. Without a knowledge of monsters' and demons' weaknesses, Dean would never be able to stop them from hurting people. For more historic information on fighting evil,...

This will test your research skills and your overall grit, and is popular with high school students trying to get into competitive colleges. Try World Schools debate. This is an National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) approved debate style where teams argue three to three. Topics are both fixed and impromptu, and the style is highly interactive, with teams asking questions even during speeches. One on one debate is a great choice for aspiring lawyers and people who prefer to work alone.   Check out Lincoln-Douglas Debates. For this 45 minute debate, you will debate a topic chosen by the NSDA. This debate involves extensive research prior to the debate, but research is not allowed during. Explore Extemporaneous Debate.

Decide how certain you are that the threatening person will follow through on his or her words. There is a wide margin between a threatening note and a man standing in front of you holding a knife. The way that you react will necessarily depend upon the immediate danger of the situation. . If the threat is immediate, then quickly and calmly look around you for potential defense mechanisms and escape routes. If the threat is more abstract, then try to get a clearer picture of what exactly is going on. Make sure that you understand why you're being threatened and what the actual risk is.  Why are you being threatened? If you don't know, ask. If you can't ask, then speculate. Do they want something from you? Consider giving a threatening person what he/she asks for. You never know how desperate someone is, and it is senseless to be killed over the contents of your wallet. Who is the leader of the group? If it comes down to you against them, then the leader may be your first target. Are you familiar with the lay of the land? Are you under CCTV surveillance? Do you have a chance of escape?

This type of cast will look more like an older plaster-type cast rather than the fiberglass wrapped cast most often used today. Starting just below the marker line, begin wrapping the toilet paper around your arm in two layers. Tear off the paper. At this point, don't cover your hand. Focus on the part of your arm below the wrist. Hold your arm under water for a few seconds, wetting the paper thoroughly. Press the paper to your skin, squeezing out the water as you go. It's acceptable to have a few wrinkles or tears. You're going to be covering that layer in more toilet paper. Wrap it around the same part of your arm. Hold your arm under the water for a few seconds to wet the toilet paper. Press out the water, pushing the paper in towards your arm. Continue adding paper until you have a thick layer of toilet paper on the bottom of your arm. Connecting it to the rest of the cast, wrap the paper around your hand, going above and below your thumb. Add layers, wetting them as you go. Be sure to press the paper down to your arm so the excess water is squeezed out. You can rest your arm on a towel or pillow to allow the cast to dry. Alternatively, try using a hair dryer.

Decide how many apples you'd like to place in your basket and sketch a half-circle for each apple near 1 end of the basket. Give each half-circle a slight dip near the stem so your apple isn't perfectly round. Go back and draw a small stem poking out of the top of each apple.  Draw the apples so they overlap a little and keep in mind that apples near the front of your basket will appear larger than ones that are tucked in the back. Practice drawing apples that are pointed in different directions so you see the stem on some or the bottom end on others. Sketch at least 1 or 2 circles or half-circles for the oranges. If you like, draw a very small circle on each orange and shade it in darker so it looks like the orange's flower stalk. If your oranges are tucked into the basket, make the upper half that are closer to larger than the ones near the back of the basket. If your oranges are placed on top of other fruits, make them completely round. Draw a long curve that looks like a smile and make a parallel curved line about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above it. Connect the ends of the curves to make the stem and tip of the banana. To create a cluster of bananas, draw another curved line so it's parallel to the top line. Then, draw a small square at 1 end in order to make the stems. If you'd rather put the bananas in the middle of the basket, draw a cluster of them in the center. Remember that a cluster of 4 or 5 bananas are attached by the stem. Give your basket of fruit an interesting dimension by draping the grapes from inside the basket over the side. Draw the grapes so they're small and coin-sized compared to the larger oranges and apples in your basket. If it helps, lightly draw the outline of the cluster so you know the overall shape of the grapes. Then, fill in the outline with lots of small circles. To make the cluster look more realistic, draw a thin line between some of the grapes, which will look like a stem that's connecting them.

Decide if you want to exchange gifts or if you want to skip them all together. This doesn’t ruin any surprise, but it will prevent any awkwardness if only one person shows up with a gift. Remember, sharing an experience together can be a gift in itself. Don’t feel the need to drop major bucks on an extravagant gift. This is when your careful memories (and possibly note-taking!) can come in handy. Did they point out something at the mall that they really want? Have they ever told you about their favorite gift they’ve received? All of these details will help you determine what to get them. Think about your Valentine’s favorite things to do. If they’re a runner, give them some new running gear. If they’re a music buff, how about an iTunes gift card or concert tickets? Your gift should show your Valentine that you have taken note of the specific things they enjoy. Whether you are making a gift, buying a gift, or not exchanging gifts at all, your words are the most special thing you can give your Valentine. This is your chance to be as sappy, funny, or creative as you want. A handwritten note will show your Valentine that you spent time finding the perfect words for them, and they'll have a permanent memento from the special day.  Your Valentine's card is a good place to show your Valentine how committed you are to them. Let them know that your feelings are not fleeting. Cards that promise loyalty and commitment will leave your significant other feeling loved.  This is also a good place to explain exactly why you chose what you chose. Let your Valentine know why you think they’re so special, and how this gift complements that. Even if you aren’t exchanging gifts, a sweet card never goes unappreciated. This is an inexpensive and extremely meaningful way to show how much you care. This should be done all year, but especially on this holiday.

Decide if your story will take place in the past or present. Many gothic fiction stories take place a century or even further in the past.  A story about the past can make supernatural events and strange characters seem more real to your readers. Or, you can write in the present but include lots of elements that hearken back to an older time. Bram Stoker includes modern technology and ancient things in Dracula. He describes typewriters and trains, but he also includes vampires and an ancient castle. Settings are important because they help create a creepy atmosphere for your characters. Crumbling buildings, haunted houses, and old castles make great settings for gothic fiction. Your setting should be a place that was once thriving, but has since fallen into decay that feels strange or uncanny to the characters.  The Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's The Shining is an excellent example of such a location. The Overlook was once a gleaming vibrant vacation spot occupied by many people, but now only Jack and his family occupy it.  The mood of the environment will influence how the characters act. Your characters are just as important as your setting, so spend plenty of time developing them. Gothic fictions often feature certain types of characters that may help you to develop your own characters.  Hero or anti-hero. There should be at least one character in your gothic fiction that readers will like, even if he or she has some dark tendencies. Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein is a great example of a hero who is good, even though he creates a monster. Villain. The villain in gothic fiction stories often plays the role of a tempter, who leads the hero down a dark path. A good villain should be both evil and fun to read about. Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula is an excellent example of an interesting, yet evil villain. He does terrible things (like murdering people) and is portrayed by Bram Stoker as the epitome of foreign corruption that threatened Britain's society at the time. Since this fear of invasion was...

Decide on the result you want to accomplish with the spell. Timing when casting spells can be important. The Moon is important in witchcraft, and therefore has a profound influence upon us. It is very important to choose the right moon phase for your spell; magical workings for gain, increase or bringing things to you, should be initiated when the moon is waxing (from new to full); when the moon is waning (from full to dark), then its time for magical workings of decrease or sending away. The highest energy occurs at the full moon, and therefore this is the most powerful time for magical workings. The new moon is the next most powerful time for magic. There is a natural time for starting things (a planting time), for maturing things (a growing time), for reaping things (a harvest time) and, of course, a time for rest and planning. Remember that magic is the manipulation of energy, a thought is a form of energy and a visualization is an even stronger form of energy. Your visualization can be a method used to intensify further and direct your will. Your visualization can be the method by which you control the magical energy you have produced. You must know what you want. You must see it. You must feel the high energy flow. You must direct it.    For making your words and thoughts stronger you can write your spell into a rhyme to be spoken aloud; this makes it easier to remember your spell, you can also chant your spell to raise energy. Read over your spell, and be sure that if abides by your personal ethics and morals. For instance, if you are Wiccan, it is important to remember and abide by the Three Fold Law.

Decide this ahead of time because it determines the way that you will be dealing the cards. Also, it will cut down on arguments over whose turn it is. So, when someone asks, “Whose turn is it?” you will know. Count the cards to make sure there are actually 52 cards. Shuffle anyway that you like. Generally, the rule of thumb is to use the riffle shuffle, but if you don’t know how to do it other shuffle techniques such as the Hindu shuffle, weave shuffle or strip shuffle are fine as well. Ask the person next to you to cut the deck. Note the person who shuffles first because the person to the right or left --depending on if you choose clockwise or counterclockwise -- will shuffle next. Be sure to deal in the order that you have chosen.  For instance, if turns are to be  taken clockwise, then the cards should be dealt clockwise as well.The dealer gets his or her card last.  Players are allowed to look at their cards. They don’t have to wait until a certain time to flip the cards over as with some games. If you are playing with three players instead of four, each player can still be dealt the standard 13 cards, or you can deal the entire deck. It’s up to your own discretion. You might find it easier to organize your hand into pairs, triples and single cards. If this isn’t the first game, then the winner of the previous game goes first.

Decide what length you'd like the hem to be and mark the shorts again. Shorter hems will produce a neater, more uniform look, while a longer hem will create the appearance of folds. Fold the hem under twice (or over, if you want the folded look) and use a sewing machine to stitch the hem at the proper length. You can also sew the hem by hand, if you prefer. Take care not to stitch the leg opening shut by mistake.  If you don't have access to a sewing machine and want a completed hem for you shorts, take them to any alteration shop to have them stitched for a small price. Place a rounded object in the leg opening and stitch around it to avoid sewing the leg opening shut. You're finished! See how the new shorts look. If the hem is too long or too short, the stitching can be snipped and redone. Experiment with other lengths, hems and styles and add a fresh new dimension to your wardrobe.

Decide what types of rituals are practiced by the inhabitants of the world. Does everyone celebrate the same holidays or practice the same rituals at home? Are there special, government recognized days in the world? Do certain groups have certain rituals that are private, or considered taboo? For example, you may describe death rituals done at home by the main character that are considered taboo by the rest of society. What are the common ways the inhabitants socialize and spend time with others? Are there large public gatherings or parties in the world? Do the social practices change based on where you are in the world? If so, how?  Consider the cultural practices of the world, which can range from how the inhabitants socialize and speak to one another, to how they dress and act. Focus on the cultural practices surrounding your main character first. For example, in your world it may be customary to greet someone with a hand gesture. This is part of the social and cultural practice of socializing in the world. Figure out if technology plays a major role in your world, or no role at all. Is the world pre-technology, where there is no technology at all? Is the world technology heavy, with all inhabitants using technology of some kind? Maybe one group of people have access to technology and others do not. For example, you may create a version of the iPhone in your fictional world that is connected directly to people’s brains. Deepen the fictional world by coming up with a brief timeline of how the world came to be. Was it formed out of matter in space? Was it a man made endeavor to create the world? Describe the origins of the world so you can then refer to it in your fiction. Include any wars or conflicts that shaped the history of the world. For example, a world war that wiped out an entire species in the world, or a dark period where the world was frozen and uninhabitable.

Decide where you want to position the sequins on the clothing or fabric. Take tailor's chalk or an invisible fabric marker and make light dots where you'd like to put the individual sequins. Invisible fabric markers will wash off in the laundry, can be dry cleaned, or can be rubbed off easily.  Make sure you think about what sort of design you'd like before you draw over the fabric. Lightly press the tailor's chalk onto the fabric so that you don't break the edge for future projects. If you're using a hot glue gun, place a small dab of glue to the back of the sequin. You should use hot glue if you're planning on washing the material and wearing it often. Hot glue may also do better at preventing the sequins from popping off later. Take care not to burn yourself or place glue on the fabric itself. You could also use fabric or tacky glue if you want to apply jewels to a project that won't be handled roughly or washed.  Avoid using white school glue since it becomes brittle when it dries. This can cause the sequins to pop off. Flat sequins don't have a designated front and back, although cupped sequins should be glued on the flat side. This will allow it to catch and reflect more light.  If you find it hard to glue sequins with your fingers (for example, your fingers feel a little too sticky), use a toothpick, pencil, or tweezers to lift and place the sequins. Line up the sequin on the mark that you made and gently press it into place so that the glue doesn't squeeze out the sides. place gently. Hold the sequin in place if you're using hot glue. This will help it set. Otherwise, leave the garment or fabric to lay flat until the glue dries.  Most tacky or fabric glues should dry within 15 to 30 seconds. The glue should be completely hardened before you use or wear the fabric. Let it dry longer if it still feels tacky or sticky. Continue to glue down all of your sequins and make sure they're in the same direction if you're using cupped sequins. Run your hands gently over the sequins to get them to shine in one...

Decide whether you want to plant your vegetable garden directly in the ground or build a planter box to raise your vegetables a few feet above the ground. Alternately, you may want to plant different vegetable varieties each in their own pot. Your decision should depend on the quality of your soil and the tendency of your planting area to flood. If you have poor soil quality and poor drainage, you probably want to build a raised vegetable garden bed.  Think about how big you want your planting bed to be. Depending on the type of vegetables you plant, you'll need to make sure that the box is wide and deep enough. Conduct a bit of research on the types of vegetables you are planting to see how much space they need to grow. Broccoli, for example, utilizes a wide area to grow, while carrots simply need space to grow down. To build a raised planting bed, you can use lumber, plastic, synthetic wood, bricks, or rocks. However, cedar planks are generally recommended because they do not rot when exposed to water. Keep in mind that your vegetable plants will have to be watered regularly, and some weak woods like simple plywood may not last very long when constantly drenched.     Round the top of your planting bed to achieve the maximum surface area for planting. This means that the tops are rounded to form an arc rather than a flat surface. Lay a barrier between the bed and the ground in order to prevent weeds from growing. You can use gardening plastic, a mat of some sort, or several layers of newspaper and/or cardboard to reduce the chance that weeds will grow. Most vegetables require a rich, fertile, fluffy soil to grow well. Use a quality garden hoe and/or a shovel to intensely break up the soil and prepare it for planting. You can avoid this labor altogether if you choose to build a raised vegetable garden box and fill it with pre-mixed, store-bought soil.  Make sure your planting area is free of any rocks or clumps of thick soil to allow the roots to expand and your seedlings to grow into healthy, productive...

Decide whether you want to shop online or purchase locally. Read reviews online of the shop you are interested and ask around to see if anyone you know has recommendations or thoughts about a particular retailer. The bottle should include important information such as: botanical name of the plant, the country of origin, date of distillation, date of expiration, and the chemotype, if applicable. The botanical name is a latin name given to each species. For example, true lavender is lavandula angustifolia, mandarin is citrus reticulata and grapefruit is citrus paradisi. Knowing the botanical name of the plant used in your essential oil is important because many species have the same common name, but vastly different uses. Essential oils should always be kept in dark glass bottles and out of direct sunlight in order to maintain their potency. Oils sold in other packaging should be considered suspect. Don’t be afraid to email or stop by to ask questions. It is particularly important to find out whether or not the retailer performs GC/MS testing. This stands for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and although it has its own problems, is a generally well-accepted way to test the quality of the oil. Also consider the following:  Does your essential oil supplier sell all essential oils in appropriate sizes? Essential oils require a huge amount of plant matter to produce. If the retailer sells huge bottles at rock bottom prices, it is unlikely that the oil is of good quality. Does your essential oil supplier have representatives traveling worldwide to personally inspect the fields and distilleries where the herbs are grown and distilled? Small shops may not have the resources to do this, but bigger shops and suppliers that do are likely to have high quality oils. Does your essential oil supplier care about the farms they use and make sure they are fair trade? Meaning the local farmers get fair pay. Does your essential oil supplier grow and distill its own organically grown herbs? Are the distillation facilities...

Decide whether you'll write about a medieval, futuristic or any other type of era. Take the time to imagine your fantasy world and the characters within it. Take notes or write an outline of how your fantasy world works. For example, if you have included supernatural creatures, are there special rules they must live by - like vampires avoiding sunlight. Rules help to give your world structure. If your story isn't set on Earth then it may be useful to draw up maps of your new world which could be included in your finished novel to give your readers a better idea of what it looks like. Don't stress too much about how well the map looks. It's purpose is to help you keep track of where all the important places are in your world. If you want to include a map in your book, you can create a beautiful detailed map later. The best fantasy novels make the unbelievable, believable by giving the reader familiar themes that they recognize. Even if your main character isn't human, they must have human problems. For example are they dealing with family feuds, relationship issues or personal problems that your reader can relate to. If they can relate to the problems then they will feel empathy to your character and care about their plight. Look at the current bestselling fantasy novels and see if you can find their unique selling point. You can be inspired by them but don't plagiarize your favorite writers. They were published for their uniqueness, so you need to seek your own. Do you want your small novel to end up in as a long series? Make a "mind map" to get a hold on all the possible outcomes.

Decide which color you want your dog’s hair to turn out and purchase some Kool Aid powder packets in the same shade. There are a variety of colors to choose from, but the best options are purple (grape), blue (berry blue), red (cherry or tropical punch), green (kiwi lime), yellow (lemon lime), or orange (orange).  Make sure you get the sugar-free kind of Kool Aid. This works better for dyeing. Remember that the dye will fade over time. Choose a color that you will still like as it fades. For example, red fades to pink after a few weeks. Purchase a bottle of conditioner designed specifically for dogs. This should be available for purchase at most grocery stores and pet stores. Make sure you get the kind that is specially formulated for canines because this will work better for the dyeing. Conditioning your dog’s hair will also help your dog’s coat be less tangled and easier to comb out. Since dyeing your dog’s hair can get a bit messy, you’ll want to choose your location wisely. You don’t want to unintentionally dye a bunch of your surroundings by accident. So choose a location outside, or in your garage, or in another location you don’t mind getting a bit wet and possibly multi-colored. You could even do it in your bathroom if you take the proper precautions ahead of time. Put down some old towels you don’t mind getting dirt or dye on. Take some canine conditioner and mix in the Kool Aid powder in your chosen color. The mixture should make a creamy paste that spreads easily.  You should use the same amount of conditioner you would normally use on your dog, which will vary depending on the size of your dog. Use on or two packets of Kool Aid powder depending on how big your dog is and how vibrant you want the color to be. If you have a large dog and you want a very vibrant color, use two packets. If you have a small dog, use one packet. You can use one color for your dog’s whole body, or you can use several colors in different areas. Make a conditioner/Kool Aid mixture for each color you want to use. You could...

Deciding when to tell your partner is likely the hardest part of this discussion, and being infertile doesn’t ever seem to fit seamlessly into a dinner conversation. First build up trust in the relationship before talking about your infertility issues. You may need to plan when you’d like to talk about your infertility and how you want to bring it up. Your fertility is your personal information, so you may not want to share it with someone early on in dating. Yet, if you’re feeling like you and your partner may eventually have a long-term relationship, you might want to disclose sooner than later. It’s completely up to your discretion when you want to disclose. There’s never a “right” time to talk about difficult issues, especially fertility. Choose a time that you feel comfortable disclosing. Don’t decide to bring up infertility issues in a loud, busy, or crowded setting. Choose a time when both of you are relaxed and not about to rush off to something else. You may want to choose a private setting so that you don’t feel embarrassed to show emotion. Don’t bring up your infertility around your date’s family members or friends. Make sure the two of you are alone and in private. If you’re nervous that you might jumble your words or chicken out of the discussion, practice what you might say ahead of time. Get together with a friend or family member who can help you rehearse what to say and how to say it. This can give you a boost in feeling more prepared to talk to your date. You may wish to choose what type of vocabulary to use, for example, you may wish to say, “I am infertile” or, “It’s going to be very difficult for me to have a baby.” Don’t bring up your infertility when your date is distracted, in the middle of something, or in an altered state (such as after consuming alcohol). When you do bring it up, make sure you have their complete attention.  It can be difficult and invalidating to bring up and discuss infertility if your date is distracted or more interested in something else.

Deciding which hygrometer to use depends on what you are using the humidity measurements for. If you are just curious about humidity in your home, you can make a very simple hygrometer using the wet/dry bulb thermometer system. If you need to accurately assess the humidity of your environment for preservation or scientific reasons, purchasing a proper hygrometer is a better idea. Consider the following questions before you purchase your hygrometer:  Does it need to survive in extreme hot or cold temperatures? Does it need to run on battery power or will it be near a power outlet? Do you need an alarm to detect if the environment goes above or below a certain percentage of humidity? Is it easy to re-calibrate? Is it expensive? Does it require a lot of maintenance? Is it easy to understand and use? Once you have chosen your hygrometer, you need to pick a good location to keep it. Humidity measurements are dependent on temperature so choose a location that does not experience frequent temperature fluctuations. Place the hygrometer in a location that has a consistent temperature similar to the rest of the room. Avoid placing the hygrometer near doors, heaters, humidifiers, or air conditioners. To get the most accurate readings, you must leave the hygrometer in your chosen location for a few hours so it can reach the ambient temperature of the environment. Taking a reading just after placement will likely result in an inaccurate reading. If you are trying to determine if you have humidity fluctuations in your home, take readings every few hours or days. This will allow you to chart the humidity levels over time. Note that as air gets warmer, it can hold increasingly more moisture. The higher the temperature, the higher the relative humidity. Typically, a hygrometer needs to be calibrated about once a year. Calibration involves comparing the readings of your instrument to that of a calibrated reference sample and adjusting yours to match. Calibration is most important for scientific or research work. In this case,...

Declarations of undying love in the early stages are terrifying for most people, as they suggest an undesirable clinginess. Keep conversations fun and exciting without leaning towards talks of romance and extended future plans. Keep in mind you are still learning about each other so instead of professing your love, keep him intrigued by your charm and confident character.  Love should take time; if it's based on looks, it's time to rethink your relationship. Try friendship as a first step. It can't hurt to get to know one another better, especially when you're not sure of his interest or intentions. Give subtle hints to show you want this new relationship to continue. Let him know how much you are enjoying getting to know him and you are having a great time on the date(s).  Be careful with your words. As stated before, you don't want to seem too clingy but you also don't want to seem distant or uninterested. If he asks you if you would like to meet again this week respond with "I would really like that" (avoid the word "love") or a more flirtatious "I suppose I could squeeze you in" (add a little wink or a cute smile). Don't make yourself seem so readily available, this could potentially make your date think you are waiting around for him to keep asking you out. If he asks "When can you go out again" don't respond with "any day works for me", instead ask "Hm, what days work for you and I will see if those are also open for me!" If your first dates are going well and there seems to be more on their way don't hesitate to suggest a new place or a new fun idea. It can be very beneficial to get out of the same scene and get to know the person better in a different environment. Suggest something that you found you have a mutual interest in or something that he has never tried before. Some examples of new and interesting dates include: Going on a hike, going to a sporting event, the zoo or a museum, or taking a cooking class. If your dates have been going exceptionally well and you see many more in your future you...

Decongestants can be purchased at your local drugstore. They come in several different varieties:  Decongestant sprays, such as naphazoline (Privine), oxymetazoline (Afrin, Dristan, Duramist), or phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine, Sinex, Rhinall).  Pill form, such as phenylephrine (Lusonal, Sudafed PE, Sudogest PE) and pseudoephedrine ( Sudafed, Sudogest).  Do not take a decongestant spray for more than three days, as it may worsen symptoms. In addition, do not take oral decongestants for more than seven days without conferring with your doctor. Follow all instructions on over-the-counter decongestants. Talk to your doctor first if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate issues, diabetes, thyroid problems, or heart disease or if you are pregnant. Antihistamines, along with other allergy medicines, are beneficial in relieving some congestion. Opt for antihistamines that also contain a decongestant so that you can treat sniffling and sneezing along with mucus and sinus pressure. Try these natural antihistamines for organic variety:  Stinging nettle. Some doctors recommend taking a freeze-dried preparation of stinging nettle, which is known for its ability to reduce the amount of histamine the body produces. Coldsfoot may be effective as a natural antihistamine. Europeans have a long history of using the plant to cure skin conditions. The leaves can either be ground up into a paste or coltsfoot extract can be ingested in pill form. Basil may also work as a natural antihistamine. Heat a couple of sprigs of basil leaves up under some steam and breathe steam in. Basil may help reassure the body that the histamines it's sending out can be reduced. If you have high blood pressure, cardiac disease, glaucoma, diabetes, thyroid disease, or prostate problems, or if you are pregnant, ask your doctor if it is safe for you to use antihistamines.

Decongestants will not reduce the duration of your cold, but they may make it easier to tolerate the symptoms. These drugs are available in pill, chewable, and liquid form; you may also consider using steroidal nasal sprays. Decongestants are generally safe to take, provided that you follow the dosage instructions listed on the package. You can find nonprescription decongestants in the aisles of most pharmacies, drugstores, and grocery stores.  The active ingredient in most commercial decongestants is either pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine. Decongestants work by narrowing blood vessels in the lining of the nose. This reduces how much blood flows through the area so that swollen tissue inside the nose shrinks and air can pass through more easily. Do not use decongestant medications for more than 3 days, lest your body becomes dependent on them. If you become dependent on these medicines, your nose may feel even more stuffed up when you quit using them. This is known as the “rebound effect.” You can find over-the-counter cough syrup in most pharmacies and grocery stores, and you can find soothing cough drops--medicated and non-medicated--in the same places. Some cough syrups are designed to facilitate your function in everyday life, while some (such as Nyquil and Z-Quil, and any medicine ending in "PM") will help you sleep when you're coughing keeps you awake.  Dextromethorphan is the primary active ingredient in most cough medicines. It is safe to ingest in moderation, but do not drink more than the recommended dose--especially if the bottle contains the expectorant guaifenesin--and avoid taking it if you are on antidepressants. Consider carrying cough drops around with you throughout the day. Cough syrup lasts much longer than cough drops, but cough drops tend to be herbal, non-medicated relievers that will not make you drowsy. Pain medications will not shorten the duration of your cold, but they may make some of the symptoms more bearable. You should only use these drugs to temporarily relieve severe pain;...
