You know why shy people get a bad rap? Because people mistake their shyness for being cold and aloof. Those are two qualities that really intimidate people and turn them off. So be the opposite! Being warm and kind are highly valued in any society -- it shows you have the other person's interests in mind and want the best for them. Who wouldn't like that? Initiate random acts of kindness. Do things for other people, even if you don't know them.  Hold a door when going in or out of a building, pick something up for a stranger when they drop it, and offer to take a picture for a group who looks like they're trying to take one. This type of selfless giving inspires others to do the same in return -- not just for you, but for others in their life as well. ..to a point. Generally speaking, people value a certain level of extroversion. It makes sense: we all want conversation and being social to be easy and extroverts lessen the risk of awkwardness. If you sit mutely at the table not contributing, well, you might as well be somewhere else. Chime in! Let your voice be heard. How else will people find out you're valuable?  However, if you know you're guilty of not being able to put a lid on it, so to speak, you may want to tone it down. While everyone likes a good conversationalist, they are not looking to spend their time with someone who won't let them get a word in edgewise. If the last 5 points that were made were yours, back off a bit.  The other person might not be the type that will jump in; they may need an invitation. Ask them their opinions to share the spotlight with you. People like likable people, not people who are dying to be liked. If you're constantly complimenting them and following them around like a puppy dog, you won't get what you want. As much as you're being nice, you'll be viewed as a pesky gnat that needs to get swatted away. Avoid being the clingy, needy one.  If you stay attentive, you'll be able to see the clues. If someone doesn't return your calls, engages in niceties only, doesn't make...

You know you have written music when you see five lines, capped off on the ends. On the far left will be a "clef" (a italicized "G" or "C" shape), a set of numbers, like 44{\displaystyle {\frac {4}{4}}}, and a set of hashes or flats denoting the key. Together, these elements make up a musical staff.  Guitar is also written as "tablature," a unique music-writing system for guitar. Tabs resembles traditional musical staffs but have six lines instead of five, no clef, and often say "Tab" on the far left side. Guitar music is always written in "treble clef." This means the symbol on the far left is always a cursive G, with the bottom looping around the second-lowest line of the staff. " Each line in the staff signifies a note, like an A, an E, etc. When there is a note symbol on the line, you play that note -- but you have to know which line is which note. Starting from the bottom, the notes are E - G - B - D - F, or the acronym "Every Good Boy Does Fine" " The spaces in between the lines also denote notes, meaning that the staff, in total, covers nine different notes (not counting sharps and flats, which will be covered later). From the bottom up, the spaces signify the notes F - A - C - E, or "FACE." Including the spaces, the final staff from looks like:  F E D C B A G F E If you see small little lines above and below the staff, these are simply to extend the range of the sheet music beyond the five lines on the staff. Each line has a note above and below, and you need to memorize it as you move forward. For now, however, just work on the basics. The key signature is between the staff and the time signature. It will be made up of some combination of three signals -- ♯, ♭, ♮ -- lined up on the staff. You'll need to memorize key signatures to know them -- the one in the video above is the key of D. However, they still give useful information if you don't know the key: Depending on what line the symbol fall on, you adjust that note. In the example above, there is a sharp on the F line, and one on the C space. This...

You lay the ball with your hand under it. The ball leaves your hand gently and it causes a nice and smooth touch on the backboard. This is useful if you are driving your way towards the basket and are unable to slow down and take the time to aim. ” After you’re positioned and have the ball, aim and shoot for the sweet spot. The sweet spot is the two corners of the square on the backboard which sits just above the basket. Laying the ball on this spot will assure you to make the shot.  If you’re tall enough, you won’t have to aim for the sweet spot and can just shoot the ball directly into the basket. If you’re younger or just starting out, try to hit the sweet spot. Don’t shoot the ball with too much force, as it’ll probably bounce off and won’t go into the basket. Feel free to experiment without aiming for the sweet spot, if you are confident. Watch others who are more experienced shoot the ball and emulate their technique.

You likely know his schedule pretty well, so you should know when he will be home from work and will have time to talk to you.  Ask him if you can talk to him about something important at that time: “Dad, can we talk about something important after dinner?” If he tells you that it is not a good time, ask him to tell you when he will have time to talk to you for a couple of minutes. Even if your mom is not present, your dad has at least a basic understanding of menstrual cycles.  He might have learned about it in school. He will probably have some knowledge about it due to living with his own mom, sisters, and aunts, as well as any other women in your family, like your mom or sisters. If you are your dad's first daughter, he might not be expecting you to start your period. It would be best to not ambush him with this news, as that will make the conversation awkward. Be clear in what you are talking about, but ease into the conversation.  “Dad, I need you to know about a change in my life. I've started my period.” “Dad, I want to be honest with you about what's going on with me. You need to know that my period started.” “I don't want this to be too awkward, but I started my period.” “I know this is a little bit uncomfortable, but my monthly cycle started.” If your mom is not available, for some reason, then your dad will be responsible for helping you get the supplies you need.  “Can you take me to the store to get feminine products?” “Would you mind giving me money so that I can go buy pads?” “Do you mind picking up pads/tampons for me the next time you're at the store?” “I've been experiencing cramps, so I think I need a pain reliever.” “I've got a headache, and I need pain reliever to help with that.” It does feel scary or nerve-wracking, but if you stay calm, then your dad will stay calm, too.

You may already be a loyal customer of a particular perfume, or you may be in the market for something new. Regardless, before you begin your online shopping venture, you will want to have some idea of what you are looking for. You can either choose a “fragrance family” (which is how fragrances are classified, according to “notes” that define their overall similarities), or you can choose a favorite designer.  Even if you intend to purchase your fragrance from a discount online retailer, it may be beneficial to visit the fragrance area at a major department store to test the product you wish to purchase if you are not familiar with it. These stores will often have “tester” bottles that you can try out before you purchase. If you want to be particularly brave and purchase a perfume without trying it out, read the description of several perfumes so you can understand the differences between the various “fragrance families.” For example, if you like the smell of fresh-cut grass and light citrus, you may want a fragrance in the “Fresh” family; on the other hand, if you appreciate notes of amber and vanilla, you may want to purchase something in the “Oriental” fragrance family. The basic fragrance families are floral, oriental, wood, and citrus. Knowing some fragrances that fit into these categories is a good place to begin if you have no other knowledge of perfume. A website that has positive customer reviews and is well-known to carry quality and authentic products is your best option for purchasing discount perfume from a particular designer or brand. In addition, look for a website that guarantees that they only sell original designer fragrances and no knockoff or imitation fragrances.  Ask family, friends, or colleagues if they have any experiences (positive or negative) with particular websites for buying discount perfume. This can help you avoid a bad experience with an unknown company and can end up saving you time and money. Find a website that has customer testimonials. This will help you see the true...

You may already be tan, but if not, you will need to get a tan. There are many ways to get a tan. Some are more dangerous than others. A few ways to get tan are:  Lay out in the sun. To do this, you will need to find a sunny spot, wear a bathing suit, apply sunscreen, and lay out for at least thirty minutes. Don’t lay out in the sun too long or too much. Too much exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer. Go to a tanning bed. Using a tanning bed is a quick, but potentially dangerous method. You can find a tanning salon in your area, pay for a subscription, and then use the tanning beds as much as you please. Tanning in a bed, however, can increase your chances of skin cancer more than any other method of tanning. Get a spray tan. This is a safe way to get a tan. You can go to a tanning salon in your area that does spray tans, and pay for their service. Spray tans typically do not last longer than a couple of weeks, and they may rub off on your clothing and sheets. But, they do not risk your health. Apply a self-tanner. This is the cheapest and safest way to get a spray tan. You can purchase a spray or cream and apply it in your home. It is inexpensive and safe for your health, but it can produce an unnatural color and come off on your clothing. Moisturize at least twice a day. You need to moisturize to keep your tan healthy and lasting. Apply moisturizer in the morning and at night. In the morning, apply a cream that has SPF in it. At night, use a hydrating face and body cream. Eau Soleil Body Milk is recommended for the morning. After sun exposure, Biotherm’s Crème Nacrée After Sun is recommended. Along with moisturizing, use a tinted oil or cream. Use a cream or oil with SPF in it for added protection from UV rays. Tinted products will add an extra glow to your skin, keep you moisturized, and protect you from skin damage.  BB creams are a good and common choice. You can also find tinted creams for specific needs, like oily skin, anti-aging, and dry skin.

You may be able to find the email you're looking for by scouring the company website. This is especially effective if the person runs their own business. Check the "About," "Contact," and "Staff" pages to see if the email you need is listed anywhere. If the website is run by the person you are trying to find an email for, visit whois.net and enter in the website address. The person may have their email listed in the contact information. You can find a lot of information with the right Google search. If the person you are looking for has a fairly unique name, you might be able to find that name simply by doing a search for it on an Internet search engine. Include a modifier like "email," "email address," "contact," "contact information," or "contact me." If you can find the person on Twitter, you may be able to find their email in their profile. At the very least, you'll have a way that you can attempt to get in touch with them. You can perform a Google search for "person's name + twitter" to find their Twitter handle easier. LinkedIn is another good resource for finding someone's email address, depending on their privacy settings. Search for "person's name + linkedin" to quickly find their LinkedIn profile, if they have one. Use the company name as well if their name is common. You're less likely to be able to contact the person directly using these sites, as you'll typically need to be friends with them before you can see their contact information. Still, it may be worth a shot to find the person on these sites and even reach out through them. See Find People on Facebook for tips on finding a specific person on Facebook when you don't have much to go on.

You may be able to narrow down the focus for your picture book by focusing a specific genre. You may decide to focus on the fantasy or fairy tale genre. Or you may go for the historical fiction, mystery, science fiction, or humor genre. Once you have chosen a genre, you may then start to create other elements of your story.  Once you choose a genre, it may also help you to narrow down the setting or characters in the story. A science fiction picture book may be set on a fictional planet. A historical fiction book may have a historical figure like Amelia Earhart or Louis Armstrong as a main character. Keep in mind you can use the horror genre for your children’s picture book. But you should try to have a humorous take on horror or only use very mild, non-graphic horror elements in your story so it is age appropriate. Many children’s picture books use the linked plot structure or “a series of events” that are strung together. You may decide to use the linked plot structure to order the events in your story and then fill in any blanks or gaps as you go along. For example, you may string together a series of small episodes that involve Pinky the Cheetah. You may start with an episode that shows how Pinky was born and who her parents are. You could then add on episodes about Pinky’s experience at cheetah school and end with an episode about Pinky trying to make friends. This plot structure is also used often in children’s picture book ideas, especially in the fairy tale genre. In this structure, the main character wishes for something and receives it by the end of the story. The main character may also end up receiving something they did not expect, but end up appreciating it anyway.  This type of plot structure is contrasted by the “purpose achieved” plot structure. In this structure, your main character struggles against the odds to achieve a goal. For example, maybe Pinky the Cheetah struggles to keep up with the other cheetahs on the track and field team. In the end she achieves her goal of finishing a race...

You may be able to use a purple or blue toning shampoo to remove any orange or yellow tones from your hair, but if you want platinum-blonde hair, then you need to mix the toner with 20 or 30 volume developer. Each brand of toner will be a little different, so read the instructions on the bottle to find out how to use it and mix it. to your hair with a clean tinting brush. You don’t need to section off your hair for this; just create horizontal or vertical parts using the handle of a tinting brush, then brush the toner on starting from the roots. If you are using a toning shampoo, you'll have to get your hair wet, then apply it just like you would normal shampoo. In most cases, this will be around 10 to 20 minutes. The toner will start to change color from white to purple. Do not be alarmed; this is perfectly normal.  If you are using a toning shampoo, then you'll probably only need to leave it on for about 5 to 10 minutes. Toner can stain, so it would be a good idea to cover your hair with a plastic shower cap. Bleaching is a damaging process on its own, but when combined with African American hair, it is even more damaging. A hydrating mask will help repair some of that damage by hydrating and nourishing your hair.  Avoid anything that contains sulfates. They won't affect the color of your hair, but they can make your hair feel more dry. You can use a natural mask too; it does not have to be store-bought. This is important. Bleaching and heat styling are damaging enough to hair already on their own, but if you combine them, you'll be damaging your tresses even more!  When you do heat style your hair, make sure that it is completely dry first. Apply a heat protectant and use a lower heat setting. Blow drying counts as heat styling. Consider letting your hair air dry part-way first, then style it with the hairdryer. Remember to use a heat protectant!

You may be bloating because of an enzyme deficiency. If you cannot avoid foods that cause bloating or don't want to, you can take digestive enzymes to help your body digest foods better. This is most helpful bloating is caused by improper digestion, overeating, and lactose intolerance. Look for products with some of each of the following:  Proteases, which break down proteins Lipases, which break down fats Carbohydrates (such as amylase), which break down carbohydrates Lactase, which breaks down the sugar (lactose) in dairy products Individual digestive enzymes, such as papain and bromelain If you are not sure which enzyme you are deficient in, buy a combination of enzymes or ask your doctor. Look for a Seal of Approval from either the Natural Products Association (NPA) or the US Pharmacopoiea (USP). Constipation is a common cause of bloating. If you suffer from temporary or occasional constipation, you can take fiber supplements. However, this often causes gas, so take the supplement in smaller doses throughout the day and drink plenty of water with them to reduce the chance of gas. Probiotics are also good for constipation because they help replenish gut bacteria. Watch out for increased bloating during the first few weeks. There are many over the counter remedies that can help you relieve bloating. Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the label of these medications. These medications include:  Beano, which can help your body digest the sugars in beans and vegetables that make you feel gassy Lactaid and Dairy Ease, which are used for bloating from any intolerance to lactose Pepto Bismol, which can be used to ease digestion related gas and bloating Products containing simethicone, such as Gas-X and Mylanta, can help relieve your gas, which will help the bloating subside. You can also try activated charcoal to help with gas. Trapped air or gas can cause bloating.

You may be breathing through your mouth in your sleep if your nose is blocked, preventing you from breathing through your nose. If this is the case, a nasal wash or saline spray may help you keep your mouth closed by increasing air flow in your nose. A nasal wash would clear your nasal passages of any obstructions, while a saline spray would help reduce any swelling. Nasal saline sprays can be found over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. If you suffer from chronic nasal congestion, an ear, throat, and nose (ENT) specialist may prescribe a stronger steroid spray. Breathing through your mouth while you sleep may be a sign of an underlying health condition, so if the issues persist, you may want to see your doctor. Keep a record of when you first noticed the issue and any other possible symptoms you are experiencing. You may be sleeping with your mouth open if you suffer from nasal allergies. If you believe you may be suffering from allergies, see your doctor about possible treatments.  Your doctor will help you identify whatever it is you’re allergic to and will advise you about how to best avoid your allergy triggers. Your doctor may also prescribe an over-the-counter or prescription medication to reduce allergy symptoms. A deviated septum could be the reason why you’re sleeping with your mouth open. The nasal septum is the thin wall in your nose that divides the left side from the right. A deviated septum can block one side of your nose and reduce airflow. This can lead you to breathe through your mouth when you sleep. In some cases, surgery is recommended to correct the deviated septum. The surgery to correct a deviated septum is performed by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.

You may be dying to be back with your ex-boyfriend, but the worst thing you can do is hang around him incessantly, call him, or wink at him in class until he gets the picture. If you're always around, he probably does get the picture, but it won't be one that he likes. Instead, you should take a breather and stop hanging around him, at least for a few weeks or longer.  You can decide whether you want to cut off contact completely, or if that's impossible because of school. Stop calling or texting him. Even if you think of something funny that reminds you of him, it's better to hold off. Try to avoid seeing him at all, even when you're hanging out with mutual friends. If you do catch yourselves at the same party, you don't have to be rude to him, but you shouldn't spend too much time talking to him. You don't have to be rude to take a break from your ex. If you do run into him, you don't have to run away, but you don't have to linger and talk about nothing either. While you distance yourself from your boyfriend, you'll be in a good position to reflect on the problems in the relationship. If you want to get your man back, then you have to figure out what it was that went wrong, so you don't do it all over again. The problem could be simple, or it could take a bit longer to figure out. Here are some of the things that could have gone wrong:  Maybe you were too jealous or controlling, and he couldn't handle it anymore. Maybe you didn't spend enough time together. Maybe he felt like you weren't caring or affectionate enough. Maybe he felt like you were too clingy and were always around. Maybe there was a situational change, like one of you having to move to a different town, or maybe he was leaving for college in just a few months and wanted to break it off. Maybe you were just always fighting and didn't get along.

You may be forgetting to brush your teeth because you have an aversion to it. If brushing your teeth or gums hurts or overwhelms your senses, you may let yourself "forget" more than otherwise. Do everything you can to make brushing a comfortable act. Get a toothbrush that you like.  If you are frustrated with the time brushing takes, try setting a timer or playing a song of a certain length while you brush. If your gums are sensitive, try an electronic toothbrush, or a soft toothbrush. However, also make sure you visit a dentist or a periodontist to teach you the proper brushing technique. Get a kind of toothpaste that smells and tastes good to you. Pick a flavor you like, or choose an unscented, neutral toothpaste. Create a pleasant tooth cleaning environment. Listen to music while you brush your teeth. Wear slippers if your feet are cold. Ask yourself "do I like being in the bathroom?" If you share your bathroom, if it's dirty, or if you don't like looking at yourself in the mirror, you may be avoiding it. Find another place to brush your teeth, or make improvements to your bathroom. If you tend to do a lot of activities in bed before you fall asleep, you may fall asleep where you are.

You may be in a chatting mood, but your girlfriend might be sitting in class, or busy with a family event, or working in the library. Just as you might not bug someone in person if they were doing any of these things, it's a good idea to avoid texting her while she's busy. Avoid texting late at night, while you're busy, or any time you suspect your girlfriend might be driving. If she's texting you, don't respond or tell her that you'll text her later. You don't have to write like you're in writing class, but it's still important to make sure you're spelling words (mostly) correctly so that your girlfriend can read them. Take the time to write out full sentences when you can, making each text full of content, so she doesn't have to scroll through 50 to get what you're saying. While you might not care, some people are turned off by too many uses of "ur" and "gr8." That "..." bubble can be nerve-wracking to wait for, but it's important to give her a chance to respond before you start blasting off extra texts. This can seem aggressive and impatient. Don't assume she'll always be right by her phone ready to respond.  Don't text too much. Keep the ratio at roughly 1 : 1. Save some stuff for real-life interactions.  If she doesn't respond to your texts, or isn't giving you interesting responses, just stop sending messages. Never send angry texts, or lash out via text. When she writes something, or asks you a question, respond when you have something to say. It's not good to play "hard to get" when you're texting with a girl. Just respond as soon as you see she's written something and try to have a conversation. If she asks you a question and you don't have an answer right away, still respond to her text. If she says, "Dinner Friday?" Write back, "Sounds fun! But let me make sure my schedule is clear. I'll get back to you later today." Don't just keep her waiting. Sometimes, your meaning can be hard to interpret, and your texts can seem overly aggressive or harsh with just the words. Most phones have a variety of...

You may be in the early days of your pregnancy and not ready to announce it. You may even be showing a bit and not want to say anything because of complications or you not feeling well. Answer questions and discuss your pregnancy only as you’re comfortable, even if people show enthusiasm and support.  Let anyone to whom you’ve announced your pregnancy know if it is ok to say something to other people or if you prefer to tell people when you’re ready. For example, “Sara, can you please not say anything to anyone at the party about me being pregnant? It’s still so early that I just want to make sure everything is ok before I announce it to everyone.” Prepare yourself if someone lets the cat out of the bag without your approval. Come up with a generic acknowledgement such as, “Yep, it’s true I’m pregnant. I’ve been so sick that I’m just laying low until I start to feel better.” Many women who are pregnant find out that everyone is an expert on pregnancy and childbearing. This can be especially true with family members. If you are around a lot of different family members during the holidays, develop ways to handle relatives with pesky questions and advice. This can help you more easily navigate and enjoy the holidays.  Make a list of family who may be invasive about your pregnancy. Think about ways in which you can engage them without offending their sensibilities. For example, say to yourself, “Ok, I know Aunt Laurie is going to ask me to name the baby after my great grandfather. But I hate the name Aloysius. So I’m just going to tell her that it’s on the list we’re considering so she leaves me alone.” Acknowledge family members’ positions with respect. For example, you may not be married to the baby’s father and have no plans to wed. If your partner’s father makes comments, counter them with, “Sal, I understand that things are different in your culture and generation, but attitudes towards marriage and pregnancy are different in my generation.” You could also say things like, “Uncle Peter, we don’t go to church...

You may be sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts and not even realize it. Begin by simply becoming aware of negative thoughts, and how they may be affecting you. Some common forms of negative thinking include:  Filtering, or minimizing positive aspects while magnifying the negative. Polarizing, or seeing things as only good or bad with no middle-ground. Catastrophizing, or only imagining the worst-case scenario. With a little practice, you can learn to transform your thoughts. Start by following one simple rule: Don’t say anything about yourself that you wouldn’t say about a friend. Be gentle with yourself. Encourage yourself the way you would encourage a close friend. It is a misconception that some people are naturally positive, while others are inherently negative. In reality, optimism takes practice. Try to intentionally see the silver lining. Instead of thinking, “I’ve never done this before,” tell yourself, “This is an opportunity to learn something new.” ” We all have that inner voice that tends to critique or question us. This voice may tell us that we are not good enough, not talented enough, or not worthy of someone’s love. These thoughts are meant to protect you from failure or heartbreak, but in truth, they do nothing but hold you back. When your inner critic speaks up, ask yourself these questions.  Are these thoughts really true? Is it possible that these thoughts are not true? Can I admit that they might not be true? Can I imagine the possibility that really I am good enough, talented enough, and worth of love? If guilt, pain, or regret over past circumstances are bringing you down, you can work to release those emotions.  Make the active choice to let something go. Write it down and/or speak it out loud. Express your pain and/or take responsibility. If there is something you need to say to someone, say it, even if what you need to say is “I’m sorry.” Forgive yourself and others. Try to remember that everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect, and everyone deserves another chance (even you).

You may be surprised that you don't need to practice meditation for that long to start seeing the effects. One scientific study examined how a group of students responded to meditation. With just two weeks of meditation practice (10 minutes a day, plus 4 45-minute classes a week), the students significantly improved their GRE scores (a standardized test given to students trying to get into graduate school). In fact, some studies show as little as four days of meditation can improve your attention span and memory. Practicing every day is ideal. Doing so will help you work to increase your memory. In fact, spreading it out throughout the day can be helpful, such as meditating for 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch, and 10 minutes in the evening. However, if you find you can't practice every day, do it as often as you can. Mindfulness is a part of meditation, but it's also something you can incorporate in your day-to-day life. Mindfulness, at its most basic, just means paying attention. In other words, place yourself in the moment, rather then letting your mind race elsewhere.  For instance, when you're in the shower, stop yourself from thinking about the day ahead. Instead, focus on what the shower feels like. Feel the heat of the water on your skin, how the soap feels against your body. Pay attention to the pleasant scent of your soap or shampoo. Let yourself really feel each sensation. You can practice this technique anywhere. For instance, while you're washing dishes, take a moment to really focus on what you're doing. Let yourself feel the warm water on your skin, the weight of a plate in your hands. Put your full attention on getting the plate clean, making sure it's spotless. You may want to jump in with an hour-long meditation every day. However, most people can't sustain that kind of practice when they haven't meditated before. It's best to start small and work up to more time. You can start with as little as three minutes a day.

You may be tempted to fill the entire space of a poster from edge to edge, but this causes the poster to be cluttered. People are more likely to pass by a poster that looks cluttered than one that has a clean, eye-catching focus. It’s okay to make your poster elaborate, but don’t fill the entire space of the poster. If your poster is for a club, a store, a band, or anything else that has a recognizable logo, be sure to put it on your poster. Use images to enhance the poster but don’t let them overwhelm the poster.  This principle applies to slogans, characters, or symbols as well. Anything that people would recognize as being associated with the brand. For example, Coca-Cola has used polar bears in their branding for a long time, so if you saw a red poster with a polar bear, your mind might think Coke even if it wasn’t written on the poster. For posters that present research you’ve done, it’s good to include a picture of yourself so people can link your name and project to your face. The goal of your poster is to give information quickly and effectively. Don’t hide the important details of the poster in a large text block that takes someone 30 seconds to read. Separate content into smaller chunks, or reduce the total number of words.  Three separate blocks that each contain a few similar pieces of information are more effective than one large block. You can even use boxes or borders to separate these blocks of text. It’s possible that a poster with the bare minimum of information will stand out even more because it will seem mysterious but direct. Use a few bright colors that go well together. Stick to just a few colors unless you have a specific purpose for using more. Too many colors will be overwhelming. Use a text color that is easy to read and make sure it contrasts well with whatever is behind it.  If you think most of the other posters around your will use black ink, make a bold choice and use a sharp blue. If the color seems hard to read, adjust the font and the font size to make it more readable....

You may be tempted to solve math problems in your head, but when you’re first starting out it’s a good idea to write everything down, step by step. This way, if you make a mistake, it’s easy to go back and see what happened so you can fix it moving forward. Fractions are made up of 2 parts, the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number), and they are separated with a straight, horizontal line. To write a mixed number, put the whole number on the left-hand side of the fraction. For example, let’s say the problem you’re solving for is 1 and 3/4 * 7 and 1/5. The first thing you need to do is change both of those mixed fractions into improper fractions, meaning that the numerator will be greater than the denominator. Here’s how to do this:   1 and 3/4 = 7/4 when it’s made into an improper fraction. The denominator will always stay the same when making improper fractions. Multiply the denominator by the whole number (4 *1) and add that answer to the current numerator (3). (4*1) + 3 = 7. For 7 and 1/5, multiply the denominator by the whole number (5*7) and add that answer to the current numerator (1). (5*7) + 1 = 36. Put the new numerator over the original denominator for your improper fraction. 7 and 1/5 = 36/5. to make the numbers easier to multiply. In the example given, we are left with 7/4 * 36/5. While you could just multiply the numerators and the denominators, it will be easier to do the math if you can simplify the fractions first. When simplifying, check to see if the cross numerator and denominator can be divided equally by the same number. 7 and 5 cannot be, but 36 and 4 are both equally divisible by 4. To get your simplified fraction:  Divide 4 by 4 to get 1, changing the first fraction from 7/4 to 7/1. Divide 36 by 4 to get 9, changing the second fraction from 36/5 to 9/5. You can also simplify single fractions if the numerator and denominator have a common factor. For example, if 7/4 were instead 8/4, you could simplify that fraction to 2/1. Now all you have to do is solve for...

You may come to suspect a friend, family member, or co-worker is habitually stretching the truth. Pick apart the suspected lies and consider what they have in common. Pathological liars may lie to gain sympathy, boredom, or insecurity. Part of the reason the pathological liar feels compelled to lie is because he or she may feel as though being in spotlight has eluded them. This person feels that he or she should be the center of everyone's universe and will do what he or she can to make it happen. Upon tasting the spotlight it becomes self-reinforcing and the lies grow bigger each time just to keep on being the center of attention.  Some pathological liars may be actively trying to gain sympathy in a situation. They may tend to exaggerate or make up pains and illnesses, for example, or exaggerate small issues in their lives to ridiculous proportions in order to gain sympathy from anyone within earshot. Pathological liars may also have low self-esteem. They may lie to make themselves look more important than they truly are. They may exaggerate accomplishments in personal or professional areas in order to make their lives seem impressive and worthy. In this case, they may be lying to convince themselves rather than to mislead you. Some pathological liars simply lie out of boredom. They will fabricate events and make up lies to hurt others. This creates drama, alleviating boredom in the pathological liar's life. Some pathological liars may enjoy the attention that they get from others by telling extravagant stories about themselves. In order to keep up appearances, they may spin larger and more complicated lies. Pathological liars may often get caught lying. Frequently, you may hear someone else's story retold as if it happened to a pathological liar. If something about a story sounds familiar to you, stop to consider whether you've heard that story before.  You may hear a pathological liar repeat the story of a friend or family member. They may also repeat stories from movies or television shows. The stories...

You may feel better about your life and yourself if you are doing something that you really love to do. Take some time to think about what you are passionate about. Write down your thoughts so that you can read over them and use them to help you develop your talents. Some good writing activities to help you identify what you are passionate about include:   Thinking about what you wanted to do as a child. What did you love to do when you were a kid? Did you enjoy playing softball? Drawing? Dancing? Or something else? Write about what you remember loving to do as a child.  Making a list of people you look up to. Try making a list of all of the people who you admire most. Write about what you admire about them and how that might translate into your passion.  Imagining what you would do if you knew you would succeed. Take a minute to imagine that you could have guaranteed success at anything you choose. What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Write about your answer. Once you know what makes you happy, find ways to do these things more often. This can be as simple as turning one of your passions into a hobby or it might be more complex, such as changing careers.  If your passion is something that is hard to break into, such as acting, then try joining a local club or take a class to give yourself an outlet for your passion. Pay attention to how you feel when you are using your talents. You should notice that you have a light, happy feeling. This can help you to confirm that you are truly passionate about this activity. If you notice a heavy, unpleasant feeling, then you may need to reevaluate. Beauty and attractiveness are not the same thing. Attraction is the force that draws others to you. Being typically beautiful can contribute to make someone attractive. However, many other qualities create attraction.  Intelligence, kindness, confidence, health, and humor are all attractors. People who have a realistic self-image, who are emotionally grounded, and who take good care of themselves are considered...

You may feel busy with school and extra-curricular activities, but a part-time job can offer more than just a few extra dollars in your pocket. You will be able to develop your teamwork and time management skills, and you will learn about how to be a good employee.  Offer to use some of your new earnings to help pay for back-to-school clothes or part of your car insurance. You can look around your neighborhood for opportunities at restaurants or bakeries. Hair salons or doctor’s offices may need part-time office help on the weekend or during summers. Consistent exercise, whether alone or through a team sport, leads to higher self image and greater self-esteem for teenagers. Exercise can be a great stress reliever and can also lead to increased confidence. Your parents will be happy to see you take an initiative to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Use exercise as an opportunity to bond with your parents. Suggest taking regular walks or bike rides together. The goal of every parent is to raise a child into a successful adult who can take care of herself. By doing well in school and learning all that you can, you will prepare yourself for a strong future in college or in a career.  Challenge yourself by signing up for advanced classes.

You may feel grown up as a teenager, but typically, your parents still have a lot of say in your life. Talking to them about love might seem awkward. It can, if fact, be beneficial for everyone. Your parents can talk from experience and guide you through your emotions. Being open with them will also help them be more open to the thought of you in a relationship.  Ask your parents if they can set aside time to talk to you. You can say something like “I’m experiencing some unfamiliar emotions, and I’d like to hear your advice.” You can also say “I think I’m falling in love. Can you guide me through these emotions?” You may be in love, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take the relationship slowly. Don’t feel rushed to explore sexuality or make a serious commitment to each other. Enjoy being young teenagers in love without the pressure. Figure out what you are and are not okay with in your relationship. For example, you may be okay with kissing, but you aren’t okay with going any farther than that. If you and your partner are in love, you should be able to talk openly with each other. Have a conversation with them about your limits so they will know what they can and can not do. Being in love also means respecting your partner’s space. You should be happy when your partner studies hard and works towards their dreams. Don’t expect them to be around you 24/7 or make bigger commitments than they handle. If you are truly in love, you want what is best for them.

You may feel hungry if you are not receiving the nutritional benefits of a balanced diet.  Be sure that you eat items from each of the food groups.  You should get plenty of vegetables and fruit, lean proteins, and whole grains, as well as a moderate amount of healthy oils and fats.  A balanced breakfast could be a half a cup of whole-grain oatmeal with a drizzle of honey, a cup of fresh strawberries, and a half a cup of cottage cheese. A healthy lunch could be a salad of dark mixed greens with dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and crumbled cheese such as feta or goat cheese.  You can make your own dressing or opt for a reduced-calorie dressing.  Don’t like salads? Make a wrap!  Wrap up those greens, cranberries, and sunflower seeds into a pita or a whole grain tortilla.  You could also add a lean meat such as turkey to the wrap, and drizzle a little dressing on it. A balanced dinner could be a 4-oz serving of meat or fish, two vegetables, and a whole grain.  For example, you could have grilled salmon, wild rice, roasted or steamed broccoli, and roasted butternut squash. Foods that have a lot of air or water in them have greater volume.  These will make you feel full faster and will give you the sensation of eating a larger quantity, which may help if you feel hungry.  Some foods with higher volume include:  Legumes Soup Vegetables Popcorn Fresh fruit Whole grains Lettuce has a high water content, so eating a salad with light dressing prior to your meal can help you fill up faster and feel less hungry after your meal.  A salad doesn’t have to be complicated to be tasty.  Try tossing some mixed greens in lemon juice and olive oil, then topping with a few cherry tomatoes. If you are feeling more ambitious or creative, try mixing fruits and vegetables into your salad.

You may feel like everything is going wrong or is about to go wrong, and you can do nothing to stop it. Alternatively, you may feel a sense of panic about the situations in your life.  Some people feel like they are always on edge or that everything in life can lead to something horrible.  Some people have panic attacks, which are a sudden onset of fear that can feel overwhelming. Though everyone feels anxious from time to time, anxiety that is persistent and pervasive is a bit more serious. If you have had major anxiety in your life for half a year or more, you should talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety doesn't just manifest in psychological ways; you'll also notice physical symptoms. For instance, you may shake, sweat, or breathe too quickly. You may also have a rapid heart beat. In addition, you could feel very tired, or you may not be able to focus on what you need to do. You could also have symptoms such as stomach problems, dizziness, headaches, or even chest pain. If you are just upset by anxiety every once and a while with few side effects, that likely means you don't have an anxiety disorder. However, if your anxiety affects your life everyday, whether by consuming your thoughts or stopping you from doing things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Depending on the type of disorder you have, your anxiety can look somewhat different. In addition, what triggers it can vary widely from person to person, or it may have no trigger at all.  Generalized anxiety disorder means you may feel excessive worry about your everyday life, even if nothing bad is happening at the moment. Panic disorder is when you suddenly have attacks of fear or anxiety that often last for just a few minutes but can last much longer. Social phobia is essentially a fear of being embarrassed. This embarrassment may keep you from doing certain things or going where you may want to go because you're afraid you'll do something embarrassing. Focused phobias are a fear of one particular thing or several things; in other words, when you are...

You may feel like you have absolutely nothing in common with your mom, but that's probably not true! Chances are the two of you share at least one common interest. No matter what that thing is, use it to come up with activities that you will both enjoy doing together.  Your common interests can be anything at all, from traveling the world to playing with your cat. Take the initiative to plan some activities yourself. For example, if you and your mom both love animals, plan a trip to the zoo. You can let her in on your plans ahead of time or consider surprising her. Life gets busy sometimes, so if you're trying to spend more time with your mom, you may need to put it on both of your calendars. Scheduling time to spend together will demonstrate that you are both committed to becoming closer.  This is even more important if you don't get to see your mom very often because of her work schedule, for example. The two of you should agree on how often you will have your bonding time. It may be once a week or once a month, depending on your schedules and your own personal preferences. You might decide to do the same thing every time (like going out for ice cream every Friday night) or you may plan different activities for each time. The important thing is that you are together and doing something that you both enjoy. You don't necessarily have to go anywhere for your bonding time. You can stay at home and bake cookies together if you both enjoy doing that. Just being in the same room together doesn't always count as spending time together. When you spend time with your mom, make sure you are actually interacting, rather than just co-existing in the same space. Put phones, computers, and other devices away. Instead, focus on having a conversation or doing some kind of activity together. In addition to spending time together for no specific reason, you should try to celebrate together.

You may feel that your parents are being unfair or uncaring if they do not understand you. This is not necessarily the case. Oftentimes, differences stem from generational divides. Your parents may have reasons for not understanding you or your perspective.  Your parents may have grown up in a culture with different beliefs. Perhaps, for example, your father's father was very strict. Your father may feel pressure to be a "good parent" coming from his father, causing him to not understand your need for freedom or autonomy. Your parents lack of understanding may also be caused by outside factors unrelated to you. If your mother does not always have time to listen to the problems you're having with your social group at school, think about what she's going through. Is your mother busy? Is she stressed at work or experiencing difficulties with her family? Outside factors may be blocking your mother's ability to understand you. Listening is key to understanding anyone, including your parents. If you want to understand where the divide comes from, talk to your parents and truly engage with what they're saying.  Listen in every day conversations. Even if your parents are just ranting about work or a co-worker, what they're saying can lead to insight on their values, strengths, and weaknesses. When your parents are talking to you, give them your full attention. Also, watch body language. Body language can convey a hidden meaning to what someone is saying. For example, your father fidgets a lot and hunches over when he tells you he doesn't want you going to the dance without a chaperone. His body language indicates he's nervous. You may assume he does not understand how much the dance means to you. However, he may merely be an anxious person by nature and his concern for your well-being is overriding his ability to empathize with your needs as a teenager. When you're listening, pay attention to your parents feelings. If you understand what your parents are feeling, and why they may feel this way, this can give you...

You may feel the need to panic and wipe up the stain, but resist that temptation! Wiping up the stain without the use of a cleaner can lead to an even bigger stain. If possible, blot up some of the ink with a paper towel. Just press the ink stain until you can’t remove any more of the ink with blotting alone. The kind of toothpaste you use to brush your teeth should work just fine—unless you use gel toothpaste. In that case, get some basic toothpaste that can even be bought from the dollar store. Put the toothpaste directly on the ink stain. Find a toothpaste that is labeled for whitening or has baking soda in it. This helps clear the stain. Okay, now you can start wiping instead of blotting. First, dampen a clean, soft cloth. Rub the stain for a few minutes. You’re ready to stop rubbing when the cloth slides over the wood with ease. Check the wood out to see if most or all of the stain is gone. Then, rinse off the rag you just used to clean the floor. Use that same cloth to rinse off the floor. Wipe off the wood until there isn’t any toothpaste left on the floor. Use a towel to pat off the wood until it is dry. Look over the result of your hard work. At this point, the stain should be completely gone. If not, don’t stress! There are other things you can do. You can repeat the process until you get the result you want.

You may find it easier to have a conversation with just one person at a time. This is especially true if one parent is stricter or angrier at you than the other one. Ask your parent whether he is busy before you ask your question. Make it clear that you want to talk about the punishment before you begin talking. If he seems irritated or distracted, ask whether there is a better time to talk to him. . It may hurt your pride, especially if you do not think you did anything wrong. However, your parent does, and she probably won't change her mind on the punishment unless you agree with her. When you apologize, don't try to pass on the blame to someone else, or even part of the blame. You may explain briefly why it happened, but it's best only to talk about your own actions. Talk about your own feelings, and avoid using the word "you," which can sound accusing. For instance, "I take a walk outside when I need to relax, so I feel stressed when I'm not allowed to leave the house." or "I know I did something bad, but I'm not sure this punishment is giving me the opportunity to show I can do better." This works best for long term punishments, such as grounding that lasts several weeks or months. For instance, ask for the ability to leave the house, but with an earlier curfew. If you show you can follow these terms, your parents might continue to reduce the punishment or end it early. Some experts on parenting recommend that parents follow this strategy. Be cautious about telling this to your parents, though. They may not appreciate their child telling them about good parenting practices. Your parents might let you exchange your current punishment for another one. Depending on the situation, you might ask to have extra chore duties, be banned from television and computers for a certain amount of time, or find a tutor for your schoolwork. Your parents probably know which punishments you find easy to handle. Suggest a serious alternative punishment, just one that will restrict you in a different way. Listen to your...

You may find that sleeping on your back is the most comfortable position when you have broken ribs, or you may find it more comfortable to sleep on your side. Both of these sleep positions are okay to use when you have broken ribs. Sleeping on your side or on your back will also help to make breathing easier. Try out different positions to find the most comfortable position for you.   Try sleeping on the injured side. If your broken ribs are only on one side, some physicians recommend that you sleep on the injured side because it restricts the movement of your injured ribs and allows you to breathe more deeply on your uninjured side. However, if this position is painful for you, then do not try to sleep on your injured side.  Try sleeping in a recliner. For some people with broken ribs, sleeping in a recliner is more comfortable than sleeping in a bed. Pillows and cushions can help to prevent you from rolling over in the night, which can be painful may even cause you to wake up in the night.  If you are sleeping on your back, then try placing a pillow under each of your arms to keep you from rolling onto your sides. You can also place a couple of pillows under your knees to reduce some of the strain on your back. . Broken ribs may cause you to take shallow breaths due to the pain associated with moving your chest too much. For this reason, it is a good idea to do some deep breathing throughout the day and right before bed as well. Practicing deep breathing can help you to relax and it will also ensure that you are getting plenty of oxygen. To practice deep breathing, lie on your back or recline in a chair and slowly take in a deep breath. Count to five as you take in the breath and then slowly exhale out as you count down from five. As you breathe, try to pull the air down into your belly with your diaphragm. During the first few days, you will need to limit coughing, twisting, turning, and stretching. This might be harder to remember or control at night. Just try to keep in mind that your ribs are connected...

You may have a great idea for a paper in your head, but if it doesn't perfectly match the prompt, you may not create the product your instructor has asked for. Look over the prompt (and rubric, if you have one) carefully and underline key phrases. Keep a list of these things by you as you work.  Many comparative essay assignments will signal their purpose by using words such as "compare," "contrast," "similarities," and "differences" in the language of the prompt. Also see whether there are any limits placed on your topic. While some essays may be simple compare/contrast essays, others may ask you to begin with that framework and then develop an evaluation or argument based on your comparisons. For these essays, simply pointing out that things are similar or different will not be sufficient.  The assignment will generally ask guiding questions if you are expected to incorporate comparison as part of a larger assignment. For example: "Choose a particular idea or theme, such as love, beauty, death, or time, and consider how two different Renaissance poets approach this idea." This sentence asks you to compare two poets, but it also asks how the poets approach the point of comparison. In other words, you will need to make an evaluative or analytical argument about those approaches. If you're unclear on what the essay prompt is asking you to do, talk with your instructor. It's much better to clarify questions up front than discover you've written the entire essay incorrectly. Showing the similarities between the two subjects is the essence of a comparison paper, but you also need to recognize their differences. Making an effective comparison requires that you examine the differences between the subjects, as well. By examining the contrast between your subjects, you can provide valuable insights into how they relate to each other. The best place to start is to write a list of things that the items you are comparing have in common as well as differences between them. It is likely that you will not be able to write...

You may have a spare hanger in your car or in outdoor storage, but if not you’ll have to go door-knocking until you find a pleasant neighbor who can give you one. Really, any piece of sturdy yet moldable wire will do. Even thin wire, like the kind use in electrical work, can be doubled up for improved stiffness and used to open your garage door. The rod needs to be as long as possible. If you find that the reach of your hanger is insufficient, wrap the non-hook end around an extension, like a branch. If possible, double up the wire of the coat hanger to make it sturdier. This may only be possible if you have an extra hanger or leftover wire. For some garages, this may be impossible. But if your garage has a gap at its top, you should be able to snake in the rod hook-end first.  You may find it easier to insert the rod from the sides, but it’ll need to be in the center of the door to disengage its lock. Be careful when doing this if there is a soft plastic molding around the door. Inserting your rod between the molding and the door could cause damage it, which can be expensive to replace. The manual release latch is located just below where the arm for the opener attaches to the garage door track. Maneuver the hook around the latch and pull with firm, steady pressure until the latch disengages. Now you can slide the door up and open.  Many garage door releases have a string attached so you can pull and disengage the release from inside the garage. Use this string as a point of reference when looking for the release. If you can't see into your garage, feel along the door's metal track toward the opener motor. When you feel a ridge poking out of the track to the rear of the motor, you’ve found the release.

You may have had some downs, some failed grades or poor relationships - this does not mean that you will fail every exam you ever take or have poor relationships for the rest of your life. Acknowledge any role that you may have played in these and also look at other factors that may have been at play. The point of this is not to point fingers or lay blame on any one. Understand that you have some control over the quality of your life. Look at things that may have gone wrong in the past and look at your behavior then and now. Forgive yourself. Are there any lessons that you can draw from them? Write them down. Is there anything you’re doing that you know will have consequences that you will regret later? Instead, do something that will be of benefit to you later, or at the very least will not cause any harm. You will have to exercise some discipline. It’s easy to repeat behavior just because it’s familiar, it’s what you’re used to doing in a particular situation. For example, if you’re used to eating lots of sweet things and now you have diabetes, it will take time to adjust to your eating habits. Take the lessons you’ve learned, and carry on with life. As your past defined your present, your present will define your future. What you do now, will affect your future.  Allow yourself to fully feel any grievance you may have for the past. For a friendship that went sour or for a project you set out to do that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Write about it or discuss it with someone you trust. Express your view on the matter and why you’re upset about it. This will help you better understand your situation.  Accept that what’s done is done and that you can only deal with the here and now. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and if you can, make amends with others. Internalizing this may take longer than a day. Your choices, habits and behavior in the past made who you are today. It will take time to cultivate new habits that will make who you are tomorrow.

You may have heard stories about would-be tycoons (like George Soros) who graduated with degrees in philosophy or English and went on to do great things on Wall St. While those stories might be true, they’re the exception to the rule. If you’re set on getting a job on Wall St., you should pick a major that’s most likely to help you succeed, like finance, accounting, or economics. Although finance, business, accounting, and economics are the primary Wall St. majors, some others are becoming more common. Fields of study like engineering, mathematics, and computer science all teach students how to think in a manner consistent with the type of thinking that’s valued in the financial sector. Believe it or not, many positions are already filled by the time of an applicant’s senior year. Most Wall St. firms have internship programs aimed at students in their junior year. Most of the senior-year interns were invited back after the completion of a junior year internship, and almost all of the entry level analyst positions are filled by former senior year interns.. As you might guess, Wall St. firms hire for more than one type of job, and many of those jobs require differing skill sets. In addition, some type of jobs are easier or harder for a recent grad to break into. The three basic job categories are:  Operations. Operations describes all of the support functions enabling the firm to conduct its primary business. These could include administrative personnel, accountants, compliance, marketing, and numerous others. These are often some of the easier jobs for a recent grad to obtain, and while they aren’t directly involved with trading or investing, they allow you create networks within the Wall St. community. Sales. Wall St. sales personnel work for investment banks, and are involved in the sale of foreign currency (Forex), bonds, and stocks. They sell to both individuals and institutions such as pension funds, mutual funds, and hedge funds. Sales personnel typically work very long hours, so if you aren’t up for...

You may have heard that you should  set SMART goals, which means goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-focused, and Time-bound. So, grab that piece of paper on which you wrote down your wildest dreams. Develop an action plan to meet these goals with clear and measurable steps and a reasonable, yet challenging deadline.  Take your goal-setting a step further by finding an accountability partner. Ask a coworker, close friend, or family member if you can email a weekly progress report to them outlining what steps you have taken in reaching your goals. This extra step will motivate you even more. If you can’t find an accountability partner, download an app that helps you stick to your goals. And do it first. If you are truly serious about living a life on your own terms, then you must be responsible for prioritizing your goals above all. Each week, make sure that the first tasks you perform each day are those with the highest priority/greatest importance. That way, even if you slack off for the remainder of the day, your day was still purposeful. If you have a passion to do something, don’t allow money to deter you from doing it. Also, don’t give in to the belief that you do not have time. If your dreams are important enough to you, you will make time. Living a self-directed life can be enhanced by the people who surround you. You can’t expect to see positive changes in your life when you spend most of your time with negative people. Positive energy coming from your friends and loved ones gives you greater confidence, reduces stress, and makes you happier. Of course, it is impossible to keep those who are endlessly critical, unmotivated, or mean-spirited completely out of your life. Just be mindful of their toxicity and monitor your thoughts when you are around them. If you find yourself thinking negatively, challenge those thoughts and reframe them into more positive thoughts. Get out there and collect experiences. If you have been living your life based on other's approval or expectations, it...

You may have received a cloth when you bought the TV or you can buy a quality cloth in the automotive care or electronics sections of any general store, such as Target. A microfiber cloth is ideal because it absorbs oil and debris in a very gentle way. It is less likely to scratch a TV like a paper towel or rough towel might do.  Make sure that the cloth is a large enough size so that you can cover the entire TV’s surface. For example, many doctors will give you a small microfiber cloth for glasses, but these are too small to use in this case.  To keep your microfiber cloths in the best shape, wash them after each use without adding fabric softener. Once you have a proper cloth, go slowly and wipe over the surface of the TV. Look at the cloth to see how much dirt or grime you are removing. When you’ve wiped down the screen once, stand back to see if you need to do another round. This method will not work as well if the dirt is heavy. Instead, you should use a dry wipe down in the same way that you would a quick dusting. Get a spray bottle and fill it with some warm, distilled water. Or, take a bottle of lukewarm distilled water and drip a bit on a microfiber cloth. Your goal is to make the cloth damp, not soaking wet. Use this damp cloth to then wipe down the screen. Distilled water is the best to use as it contains fewer minerals and deposits. If you use tap water, then the deposits can stick to the screen and attract even more dirt over time. If your application of water doesn’t have the desired effect, then make a mixture from half vinegar and half distilled water. Dampen the cloth with this mixture and re-wipe the grimiest areas. Try not to use this too often, however, as it can prove abrasive to the TV screen.  Depending on the manufacturer recommendations, you may also be able to use a mixture made from distilled water and fabric softener or dishwashing liquid.  If you use any type of mixed cleaner, it is a good idea to go over the screen once more with a cloth dampened by water only. Do not spray...

You may have seen or heard of standing desks or treadmill desks, which get you off your backside and on your feet while doing desk work.  If sitting is preferable or medically advisable for you, however, there are several desk chair alternatives that may offer ergonomic benefits.  Kneeling seats literally put you on your knees, which padded rests for your knees and arms.  Seating balls are akin the giant rubber balls you know from childhood or yoga class, and allow you to sit while remaining slightly in motion.  Saddle seats are designed for you to straddle (like riding a horse) with your feet planted on the ground.  There is less clear evidence regarding the comfort and health benefits of these chair alternatives, however.  It may simply come down to personal preference. There’s a decent chance that you spend as much time on your living room couch as in your office chair (maybe even more time), yet few people give much thought to ergonomics when selecting home furnishings.  Home furnishings designers and shoppers tend to prioritize style above all else, so most pieces — like soft, plush couches that you sink into — are ergonomically-unfriendly.  You might be able to find furniture designed with ergonomics in mind if you search widely (and are willing to pay more), but you can also keep some general principles in mind while shopping.  Look for pieces that have firm cushioning, allow you to put your feet flat on the ground while your back is against the backrest, and put your body in an upright position (ears over shoulders over hips). Think of furniture shopping like shoe shopping — go for style and comfort. Try out a piece for 20 minutes or more before deciding. Some car manufacturers now advertise their ergonomically-designed seats, but often your comfort and back health while sitting in a car boil down to some simple adjustments.  Your individual physical characteristics also play a role — a jockey and an NBA center are never going to be perfectly comfortable driving the same car.  When driving, adjust...

You may have to go over the heaviest growth a few times to prepare them for excavation. Clearing away overgrown areas beforehand makes it easier to get at the roots without losing an excessive amount of soil. Use a hand trowel to agitate the soil well below root level. Then, pull out the entire root structure in one piece—it should give way with little resistance. Throw the uprooted clumps into a plastic leaf bag or wheelbarrow to keep it away from the ground.  Any live roots you miss may find their way back into the loose soil and start the problem up all over again. If you’re worried about losing precious soil, place the clumps on a tarp to dry in the sun for a full day, then shake off the soil clinging to the roots and return it to your garden. Inspect the turned soil closely for any root or leaf fragments that may have been left behind. Pick these out by hand whenever you come across them. Make sure there are no visible traces left when you're done.  Keep a close watch on your lawn or garden in the coming weeks to look for signs that a new crop of Bermuda grass might be replacing the old.  Digging out a sea of Bermuda grass one handful at a time can be tedious, but it’s one of the most meticulous and cost-effective ways to guarantee that you’ve gotten rid of it for good.

You may have to wait a few minutes before you stop crying. You will eventually stop. It is better to let yourself cry than force yourself to stop. Pent up emotions are being expressed when you cry which allows the body to release tension and recover.  If you are in a time crunch and you need to stop crying, tell yourself, “You need to stop crying and find the calm inside you.” Repeat this until you stop. You can also purposely startle yourself. This will create a quick shift in your emotions and will help you stop. Simply saying, “Oh!” might do the trick. Redirect your emotions with a pinch to your arm. This can cause enough of a distraction to switch off your crying response. Once you have stopped crying, distract your thoughts away from the reason for crying. If you just received news that someone passed away, focus on what you need to do that day. Crying is related to many positive events as well as sad or maddening events. Allow yourself to cry until you stop. When you cry, facial nerves are stimulated, which causes the skin to increase in temperature. Cool water splashed on your face will lessen the heat. Let the water run over your hands and wrists and splash your face a few times. Use a towel or whatever is available to pat your face dry. You want to clear you nose of mucus. Once you've blown your nose, look in a mirror to make sure your nose is clean. Take a few cleansing breaths to release the residual emotions and fill your lungs. Crying can constrict your breathing, and slow breathing can restore normal function. Your body will benefit from the additional oxygen. Avoid rapid breathing that can turn into hyperventilating, which can trigger a panic attack. When a person cries, blood rushes to the face, eyes and nose areas. Once you stop crying, the skin will eventually return to your normal color.  Use a cold compress and place it over your eyes, nose and face. This will speed up the calming process. If you are at work or elsewhere and a cold compress is not available, wet paper towels and spin them...

Use these as inspiration when you're trying to come up with things that make your friend happy, such as:  Favorite foods and drinks Things or places the he or she likes Favorite songs, music, or books Photos from happy memories Special ways to relax Any box or container can be turned into a bad day survival kit, but you must consider what types of things will be going into the kit so you can determine how large a box you need. Great ideas for boxes include:  Old cigar boxes Shoe boxes Popcorn or cookie tins  Gift boxes or priority mail boxes This is again a great opportunity to personalize the bad day kit to the tastes of your friend, because you can decorate the kit any way you like! When decorating, consider patterns, motifs, colors, and styles that your friend likes. Some good ideas include:  Use glue to cover the box with a collage of photos from happy times you and your friends shared.  Cover the kit with wrapping paper (you can even use Christmas or Halloween paper, for instance, if your friend particularly likes a specific time of year).  For a friend who enjoys traveling, consider decorating the kit with post cards, maps, or photos from his or her favorite place. For an even more personal approach, decorate the box by hand, using markers, stickers, glitter, crayons, paint, or whatever your own style and talents dictate. Once you decorate the kit, you can create a protective layer on the inside to keep the contents safe. This step isn't strictly necessary, but it’s a good idea if you're going to be carting the kit around a lot, or if it will contain delicate or fragile items.  To protect what's inside the kit, cover the bottom and sides with a thin layer of material, such as foam, fabric, or bubble wrap. If you use fabric, use something you know your friend likes. This could be a material like velvet, satin, cotton, or something textured or patterned. You need somewhere safe...

You may literally be at the end of your rope, thinking that there's absolutely nowhere else for you to turn. But you know what the best part of rock bottom is? It's that the only place you can go is up. You may feel like you have nothing to live for and that everything can only get worse, but the important thing to remember is that things will get better if you stick it out and make a game plan. Sure, your life won't be amazing overnight, but if you are aware that things can get better for you, then you'll be on the way to moving forward. When you feel a suicidal thought creeping up, just tell yourself that you know you can get through it and that you'll have better days. There are many people out there who deal with people like us every day of their lives. They are there because they want to help us, not make us feel even more miserable. It may seem like there is nobody in this world who can help you, but that's probably because you're not letting them help you. If you tell your friends how you're feeling then they are guaranteed to help you out. That is, if you let them. It's understandable that you may not want anyone's help, and that's completely acceptable. But you can't just keep having that thought linger in your mind forever.  If you feel that you are in danger of harming yourself and have no one to turn to, call the Emergency Services, your doctor, or check yourself into the ER as soon as you can. You should not be alone during this difficult time, period. You can also call a helpline if you're in trouble and want someone to talk to. You can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) at any time in the US or you can call Samaritans at 116 123 or PAPYRUS at 0800 068 41 41 (if you are a teen or a young adult) if you're in the UK. Go online to find the contact information for the suicide helpline in your country. If you'd rather text someone, send a message to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 to chat with a crisis counselor.

You may love clothes but clothing is only part of the story when undertaking fashion design. You'll also need excellent communication skills, a willingness to work very hard (often 24/7), a tough hide when criticized, an ability to cope with stress, openness to having many different clients and/or bosses, an acceptance that there will be loneliness or isolation on occasion (depending on how you set up your design business or career) and an ability to be a self-disciplined self-starter.  Being a fashion designer is probably for you if: You want to devote your life to this career (it's your "vocation"), you don't mind uncertainty or insecurity, you are willing to stand up for what you believe in, you have distinct ideas about what is important in fashion, you listen to clients well, you know the fashion industry inside out and you live, eat and breathe fashion. Being a fashion designer is probably not for you if: You can't manage stress well, you don't like uncertainty or instability, you want a career without too many highs or lows, you need other people to praise your efforts, you need a lot of guidance, you hate being financially unstable and you have too many other interests in life.

You may need to ask others to carry heavy objects for you, or allow yourself more frequent breaks to get off your feet. Try to establish collaborative relationships with co-workers and help each other out, as needed. For instance, offer to stay a little late to do a task for someone else if they’re willing to do your heavy lifting for you. Many people with chronic pain work with a pain management team. They can help you learn to manage your pain through medications, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle techniques. Enlist your pain management team to help you manage your chronic pain at work. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists can help you learn to manage the emotional aspects of chronic pain, which can improve your work performance and comfort in the workplace. Discuss a referral to a mental health professional with your primary care provider or pain management team.  Mental health professionals can help you learn relaxation techniques, coping skills, and ways to deal with anxiety or depression than accompany chronic pain. They can help you to challenge your assumptions and ideas about pain and learn new ways to approach your pain issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may help you learn new coping techniques to deal with your pain. If you’re off work for a while due to pain or injury, collaborate with your doctor on how and when to return to work. Some injuries and surgeries have specific timelines and physical limitations that need to be followed to ensure proper healing. Plan to return to work gradually, with increasing levels of activity. Often, your doctor can provide written instructions for your employer about what your acceptable level of activity should be. Try to work as a collaborative team with your doctor and your employer.

You may need to kick your ketosis off with a short-term fast. Fasting will help purge your body of carbs. Your initial fast could be anywhere from half a day to a day or even more. The length of the fast depends on your preference and health.  Consult your doctor before fasting. Avoid fasting if you have metabolic disorders or conditions like diabetes. Incorporate a fast into your daily schedule in order to give your body a chance to process any carbs you may consume and to begin to break down stored fat.  Skip a meal or stretch times between your meals. For example, skip breakfast every day. Try to fit all your eating into 8 hours of the day. If you don't want to calorie count every day, take a week or two to establish your calorie intake for a few weeks and get a baseline. After that, use rough estimates to gauge what you should and shouldn't be eating. Adjust your calorie intake based on your metabolism and activity levels.
