PTSD occurs after a traumatic event. A traumatic event is something that deeply impacts someone such as a brush with death, violence, or serious injury. The event can have actually happened or may have been threatened (such as being threatened by a gun or threatened with violence).  Some events may be experienced as more traumatic to some than to others. For instance, living through a natural disaster may be experienced as traumatic by one person but not by another. Someone may experience a close encounter with death or witness someone else almost die, like a friend or sister. A traumatic event can include war, natural disasters, car or plane crashes, terrorist attacks, violence such as rape, kidnapping, mugging, or assault, sudden death of a loved one, or childhood neglect. An event doesn’t have to happen to you for it to be traumatic. You may experience an event directly, or you may witness an event, such as violence in your home. You may also experience the event indirectly, such as hearing something that happened to a relative or friend.  While you may not have experienced being mugged, you may feel traumatized after hearing that your sister recently was mugged. For the trauma to be considered indirect, the outcome of the event was either violent or accidental. An accidental trauma could include learning that your sibling was burned severely by boiling water or was severely injured at work in a sort of “freak accident”. As a result of the traumatic event, the person may not approach life in the same way. Social, professional, school, or home function may change. The person may experience a decrease in functioning in more than one environment. The distress from the trauma causes significant changes to the person’s functioning. A person’s school grades may dramatically decrease, work productivity may change, or a once very clean person may suddenly be unable to take care of his or her house or personal needs. People may experience repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the event after it...

PVCs may occur in apparently healthy individual without any cause. Signals for rhythmic contraction of the heart originate in sinoatrial node (SA node) located in the right atrium. It is also called pacemaker of the heart. The signal then travels through specialized conducting tissue to the ventricles, causing them to contract. However, ventricular muscle cells are also excitatory and can initiate self-contraction without any signal form SA node. In normal and healthy subjects there may be occasional self-contraction causing PVCs. It is medically known as myocardial infarction. There is damage of heart muscle due to impairment of blood supply. Coronary arteries provide blood supply to heart muscles. If one or more of them are blocked by a blood clot or plaque, the area supplied by them undergoes ischemic necrosis or death.  The damaged heart muscle cannot contract properly and synchronously with the remaining area. As a result, there may be initiation of contraction signal anywhere in the ventricles that spreads to other parts causing a premature beat. The risk of PVCs is greatest in the hours following heart attack. It should be managed appropriately because it may be the early sign of life threatening arrhythmia. It may be dilated or hypertrophic type. Cardiomyopathy occurs as a consequence of long term cardiac disease.  Common causes are hypertension, heart attack, heart valve disease, alcohol, obesity, diabetes, thyroid disease, vitamin B1 deficiency etc. The heart chambers are dilated, muscle wall becomes thick or thin. The normal architecture of the heart muscle is deranged. It leads to alteration of excitatory pattern of the muscle. There may also be fibrosis in different areas of the heart. All these contribute to abnormal signal transmission and PVC. Most common is mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve is located between left atrium and left ventricle that controls one way blood flow. The cusps or leaflets are directed towards left ventricle. Long standing heart disease of the valve particularly...

Pack a backpack with everything you need, and make sure to add in a few things that will make you feel at home. It can be your pillow or blanket to help you feel as though you are in your own bed. It can also be your favorite stuffed animal, doll, or lucky charm to make you feel safe and at ease. Feeling comfortable in what you’re wearing is important, especially when you’re at someone else’s house, and can help you feel as relaxed as you are at home. Remember to bring a pair of pajamas or nightclothes you’re comfortable wearing around other people that you may not know.  Something that has tops and bottoms is a safe bet. You can also bring a robe. If you’re shy about getting dressed in front of your friends, ask to use the bathroom and change there. You might not be able to fall asleep because you miss home, so take a book or an iPod with you. If you enjoy magazines instead, take them. You should have a few things that will keep you entertained to battle homesickness during the sleepover. Although it is totally okay to borrow clothes or hygiene materials by asking your friend or their parents, it’s always nice to be prepared and bring your own stuff. This will prevent you from missing your belongings since the essential ones will be with you.  If you’re staying over for more than one night, bring enough changes of clothes and underwear. If you’ll need to shower, bring your shampoo and conditioner. Don’t forget your toothbrush and toothpaste!

Pack them together and place in the trunk before you get the rest of your gear in. Keep in mind, however, that they will need to be accessible at all times. You will typically want to include the following basics:  Motor oil Radiator fluid Roadside emergency kit with flares, jumper cables, and flashlight Fire extinguisher Nonperishable food Drinking water Blankets First aid kit Make sure you also have a tire iron so that you can change your tire if necessary.Keep it stowed in the trunk in case you'll need it if you get a flat miles from a service station. Be sure you can change a tire if you need to. Also know how to check the oil and fluid levels. If you're travelling through extreme weather or deserted stretches of road (or both), it's good to check fluid levels before you set out.  For oil, lift the hood and pull out the dipstick and wipe with a rag (if you're not sure where this is, check your owner's manual). The stick shows the level of oil currently in your vehicle. If you're lower than the area indicated with crosshatches, add a quart of oil. For radiator fluid, check the transparent tank under the hood. If your fluid does not fall between the two lines indicated, add more radiator fluid. Sometimes you end up eating or wanting to stay a place that is cash-only, and you need to be prepared. If you're planning to be in a fairly remote area, chances are that there will be few ATMs, making cash even more necessary. Credit cards might be vital if you end up getting an unplanned car repair -- you need to be ready if you have to make any emergency purchases. The American Automobile Association (AAA) is the most famous and widespread of these, but there are many other local and regional groups that are worth checking out. For a road trip, you would want a service that would include long-distance towing to a garage in case you break down far from service. These help services also are good resources for maps, trip planning, and even discounts on lodging.

Packing these heavy items first will keep them from squashing any lighter items. Arrange any books and binders vertically in your backpack against the part that touches your back, or horizontally if you have any other type of bag.  If you don't need a certain book or binder you can leave it at home or take it to school and store it in your locker. You may want to pack the book or binders in the order that you will need them for the day. Make sure you don’t forget any. If you have loose papers, like homework or notes, it’s best to store them in a binder or folder so they don’t get wrinkled or ripped. Include your planner as well so that you can make notes or adjustments to it throughout the day. Stack these items next to your books, making sure to distribute the weight evenly throughout the backpack or bag. It’s a good idea to pack pencils, erasers, pens, highlighters and sticky notes for school. You may also want a calculator, protractor, ruler, pencil sharpener, and a mini stapler. Depending on your age and classes, you could also include tape, glue, crayons, colored pencils, and marker pens. To keep these kinds of supplies organized, consider arranging them in a pencil case or another container. Depending on your schedule, you may need gym clothes in addition to a sports uniform or equipment (like soccer cleats or football pads). If they fit, you can store these items in your backpack so you don’t have to carry two bags.  You may also need a helmet if you ride a bike, skateboard, or scooter to school. Though an instrument isn’t likely to fit in your school bag, set the case near your bag so you don’t forget it! Add some snacks, and a water bottle. If you take your lunch to school, you can store it in your bag as well. It’s a good idea to put food items in a separate lunch box or bag to keep them from being spoiled. You may also want to add a few small snacks, like a granola bar or bag of cut veggies, in case you get hungry. It’s also a great idea to include a reusable water bottle to keep you hydrated...

Pads, tampons, and menstrual cups can all be used to collect period blood and keep you from getting stains on your clothes.  Most girls start off with pads, but try different products until you find something that you like.  Pads and tampons come in different sizes.  Products that say "light" or "slim"  are for a lighter flow, and products that say "heavy," "super," or "overnight" are made for a heavier blood flow.  All menstrual products come with instructions.  Read them before you use the products. It will take practice for you to feel comfortable using the products.  Take your time and don't get frustrated. Do not use scented menstrual products.  These products can irritate your skin and vagina. Avoid perfumes and sprays as well. Tampons are plugs of cotton that you insert into your vagina.  You can't feel a tampon once it is inside of you. Most women sit on the toilet, squat, or put one leg up when they insert the tampon.  Find a position that works best for you. Inserting a tampon should not be painful, but it may feel uncomfortable at first.  Wash your hands before inserting the tampon. Relax when you insert the tampon. It can be painful if you do not relax. Using a tampon with an applicator will make it easier to insert. Change your tampon every three to four hours. You should not wear a tampon for longer than eight hours as this puts you at risk for toxic shock syndrome (TSS).  It may be best to wear pads when you are sleeping. The reason for not wearing tampons at night is they absorb moisture. This makes the tampon become larger. Since you sleep for a long time usually the tampon will be larger and possibly a little more difficult to remove. The tampon will also not hold that much, so it may leak during the night. Tampons are good for swimming and sports activities. Use the string on the end of the tampon to remove it.  If the string breaks, it is ok. You can gently use your fingers to find the end of the tampon and remove it. Do not flush tampons or applicators in the toilet. If you are having...

Paella pans are wide, metal pans that can be used on the stove or on a grill. Pour in the olive oil and heat it over medium heat on a burner or an outdoor grill. Add the chopped onions first, cooking them until they become translucent.  Next add the bell peppers and sauté until they're bright and slightly soft. Lower the heat first, so the garlic won't burn, then sprinkle it over the onions and peppers. Let the mixture cook for another 2 minutes. sauté the pieces on one side for three minutes, then turn them over to sauté the other side. Cook them long enough to impart their flavor to the base, but not so long that they're entirely cooked through.  Stir the squid to keep the pieces from sticking to the bottom of the pan.     Add a little more oil to the pan if the squid starts to stick before it's finished sauteing.

Pain in the jaw is often caused by grinding your teeth, also known as bruxism, or putting tension on muscles around the jaw while you sleep.  A bite splint, which you can get from your dentist, is a removable protective device that covers the surface of the teeth and gums while you sleep.  Wearing a bite splint at night can help decrease this tension and, therefore, relieve the pain in your jaw. Symptoms of bruxism can include flattened, flat, loose, or chipped teeth, worn tooth enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, headaches originating in the temples, pain that feels like an earache, and indentations on your tongue. It won’t be easy, but training your brain to stop doing behaviors that aggravate your jaw issues can help ease the pain you feel.  For example, pay attention to when you clench your jaw.  You can help train your brain to recognize when you’re clenching your jaw by checking it for tightness when you perform certain activities. For example, check your jaw for tightness every time you walk through a doorway, close a browser window, or go to the bathroom.  Choose actions you know you perform multiple times on a daily basis. Opening your mouth too wide can also cause your jaw to pop out of place.  To help prevent this from happening, keep your mouth closed as much as possible when you do things like yawn, talk, or eat. You should also make an effort to stay away from foods that require excessive mastication.  Having to chew more than normal can cause pain in your jaw.  In general, you’ll want to stay away from things like gum, sunflower seeds, chewy candies, and ice chips. Stretching and massaging your jaw can help relieve pain and relax the muscles.  Start by massaging your jaw once a day before bed.  If you are experiencing more pain than usual, add a second session in the morning until the pain has subsided and return to massaging it only once a day. To massage your jaw, place your fingertips on your lower jaw and move them up, pushing on the skin while you do this.  Once your fingers reach your...

Pain relief has an important role to play in the treatment of lameness. Modern painkillers (analgesics) have a dual action of reducing pain and inflammation, and belong to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory group of drugs (NSAIDS).  NSAIDs work by inhibiting the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX1 and COX2). It is the COX enzymes that release prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. By blocking COX enzymes the mediators of inflammation (prostaglandins) are reduced and so pain is reduced. The most commonly used NSAID pharmaceuticals for the relief of bone and joint problems in the horse are aspirin, flunixin, and phenylbutazone. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is effective against mild pain, swelling, and discomfort. Some aspirin products are available over the counter from pharmacies which makes them a useful first option treatment for mild lameness.  AniPrin contains powdered acetylsalicylic acid mixed with a palatable molasses flavor base, designed to be mixed into the horse's feed. The dose is 10mg/kg once daily. For a 500kg horse this equates to 5,000mg (or 5 grams) of AniPrin.  Two scoops are supplied with the product: the larger measures out 28.35grams, and the smaller 3.75grams. Thus, a typical 500kg horse requires 1.5 small scoops of AniPrin once daily on food. Never give aspirin to a horse that is taking other medications without first consulting your vet, and always provide a plentiful supply of fresh water. Commonly known as "bute" amongst horse owners, phenylbutazone reduces pain and fever. Phenylbutazone is a prescription NSAID and needs to be prescribed by your vet. It should not be used in combination with other NSAIDs, steroids, or given on an empty stomach.  Phenylbutazone interacts with some medications (such as phenytoin, sulfonamides, warfarin, barbiturates, and digoxin) so always speak to your vet before starting treatment.  A typical equine preparation is of phenylbutazone is Butazolidin. The dose for a 454kg horse is 2 to 4grams once a day with or after food. It is available...

Pain relievers are grouped into classes of drugs. One such group is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Ibuprofen is one of the NSAID drugs that you may choose to relieve your pain. Ibuprofen is a great choice for headaches as well as joint and muscle pain. In addition, it can also lower a fever.  Use ibuprofen if you have any swelling or inflammation with your pain. It may help minimize both while relieving your discomfort. Take 200 mg or 400 mg up to four times a day after a meal if you are an adult. Always follow dosing directions for yourself or others, such as children, to minimize your risk of an overdose.  Recognize that ibuprofen can have side effects such as abdominal pain, bloating, belching, heartburn, flatulence, nausea or vomiting.  Avoid ibuprofen if you have kidney problems. Aspirin is a good general analgesic that also falls into the category of an NSAID. It can relieve headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, and fevers.  Take 300 – 600 mg of aspirin up to four times a day after food if you are an adult. Follow dosing or your doctor’s instructions for yourself and others, such as children, to minimize the risk of overdosing.  Recognize that aspirin can come with side effects including diarrhea, constipation, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach gas, and heartburn.  Avoid giving aspirin to children under the age of 19, as it could cause a serious condition called Reye's Syndrome. You should also avoid aspirin if you have asthma, as it can make it worse and may also cause an allergic reaction that results in hives. Naproxen sodium is another NSAID that is great and relieving pain and inflammation. It’s especially effective for treating pain associated with inflammation such as arthritis, sprains, sunburns, and menstrual cramps. You may also want to choose naproxen sodium because its effects are longer lasting than other NSAIDs. This means you have to take it less often.  Take one 250-, 375-, or 500 mg tablet of naproxen sodium twice each day in evenly spaced doses if you are an adult....

Painful cramps often accompany AUB. You might also experience back pain, and need some relief. Take OTC medications such as ibuprofen to ease your pain. Make sure to follow all of the dosage instructions.  You could also try a period-specific formula, such as Midol or a generic version of that. Try some different heat sources to help you feel some relief. For example, you could place an electric heating pad on your belly or low back.   It might also feel good to take a warm, soothing bath or a hot shower. Warm or hot water can help reduce muscle tension. Do this as often as necessary. You might want to try heat every day when you're dealing with a lengthy period. When you’re dealing with painful cramps, you might just want to curl up in bed. However, moving around might actually help make you feel better. Try exercising most days during your period to increase endorphins and distract yourself from the pain.  Try a relaxing swim or a cardio dance class to reduce your symptoms. Plan ahead and schedule multiple workouts during your period. You might need to exercise a few times during a prolonged period to feel the benefits. If you experience cravings for salty or sweet foods, try to resist them. While it’s normal to have cravings during your period, you’ll feel physically better if you try to eat healthy. Since prolonged periods can take up a significant part of each month, try making healthy eating your norm instead of the exception.  Bananas and oats are thought to fight cramps, so you could have oatmeal with a sliced banana. Avoid salty foods, like chips, as they can increase bloating. Hormonal headaches are common during your period. If you’re experiencing pain, hold a cold cloth or ice back against the part of your head that hurts. Wrap a towel around the ice or ice pack to protect your skin.  Try holding the cloth or pack in place for about 10 minutes. You can do this as frequently as you like, if it is helping.

Paint and stain won’t adhere to a glossy or dirty base, so it is important to sand down the cabinets prior to painting them. If you have a block sander or an electric sander, now would be the time to use it. Use 100-grit sandpaper to smooth down the entire surface of each cabinet; sand until the wood looks dull/matte. As you’ll surely find out, sanding can be messy business. Before moving onto the fun part of the project, it is necessary to clean off the newly-sanded cabinets. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to wipe down the surface of each of the cabinets until there is no sawdust in sight. . If you decided to go for a base color or stain other than the original color, now is the time to apply it. Paint on a layer of paint or stain to each of the cabinets, and wait the package-directed curing time for it to dry. Follow this up with a second coat of paint or stain to finish the job. Wait for the paint to dry completely until moving on to the antiquing process. The moment you’ve been waiting for: antiquing your cabinets. Dip your paintbrush into the antiquing glaze and wipe off the excess stain, to prevent dripping. Brush over the parts of the cabinet you want the antique effect applied to, using a very light coat. Then, use a clean, dry, lint-free rag to wipe off the stain. The result should be some areas of the wood appearing worn and old, without looking fake or dark. When you brush on the glaze, go in the direction of the grain of the wood. Repeat this process of brushing on antiquing glaze and wiping it off, over all of your cabinets. Try to add equal amounts of the antiquing glaze to each cabinets, so that you maintain uniformity across all the wood. Follow the package directions for drying time. . Although you don’t have to, some people like to add a distressed effect to their cabinets to make them appear even more worn and ‘vintage’. There are a number of ways of doing so, including sanding down the wood over the top of the fresh antiquing glaze, using a hammer to hit the wood and create dents, and lightly...

Paint can settle as it sits, which can sometimes lead to the color being more concentrated at the bottom of the can. To avoid getting an uneven application, stir the can with a paint stick as soon as you open it. If the paint’s been sitting a while, you might even want to shake the can vigorously first, then open it. Use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the top off the paint can. Dip your brush into the can and tap it to remove any excess. Then, carefully run the paintbrush along the trim, about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) from the edge where you want the paint to stop. Then, go back over the same section a second time, this time painting all the way to the trim. Typically, you’ll get the best results by cutting in one wall at a time, then rolling that wall before moving to another. Unless you’re using a large bucket with a screen, you’ll need to use a paint tray. Carefully pour some of the paint from the can directly into the tray. You don’t need much; just enough to cover the bottom of the deepest part of the tray. Place a metal paint screen in the tray, as well. Fit the roller with a cover, then lower the roller into the deep end of the paint tray. Once you've picked up some paint, roll the paint roller across the metal paint screen to remove excess paint. Roller covers are sold according to the thickness of the nap, or the fibers that make up the cover. For an interior painting job, a 1⁄2–3⁄4 in (1.3–1.9 cm) nap will give you plenty of coverage, but it won't soak the walls with too much paint like a deeper nap might. Once you've put paint on the roller, lift the roller and place it against the wall close to where you cut in along the ceiling. However, avoid starting right at a corner or other edge, as you might end up with a thick layer of paint that will be hard to smooth out. Instead, start about 6 in (15 cm) from the edge and work your way back. Don't put the roller all the way on the top of the wall, or you might accidentally paint the ceiling. This will help you avoid having streaks in the...

Paint designs onto the can to customize your pencil holder. Acrylic paint is a great all-purpose medium for painting on various surfaces, and dries quickly, allowing you to continue to decorate your pencil holder.  Use a primer before applying paint to the can in order to ensure the paint adheres to the metal.  Use acrylic spray paint to give your can a full, uniform coat for adding further designs. The paint on your can will likely crack if the can is bent, so be careful once the paint has dried. Use a box cutter to cut various designs into the can. Hearts, diamonds, abstract patterns, or faces are all fun options for customizing your pencil holder.  Avoid grabbing the can near these designs, as the holes created will have sharp edges. Try marking the designs you will be cutting with stencils to help guide your cutting efforts. Draw some designs on a piece of paper and paste them on the can as decoration. You can also paste an entire sheet of plain paper onto the can as a canvas for additional paper decorations.  Cut your name out of paper, or another’s name if you are giving the pencil holder as a gift, and paste it onto the can to mark the can as yours. Glue sparkles, felt, ribbon and other accoutrements to put the finishing touches on your design. A homemade cozy for your pencil holder can help bring some warmth to its appearance. Feel free to knit whatever design fits the room you’re placing the pencil holder in, or make multiple cozies to keep the style of the can fresh. If you used a soda can for your pencil holder, you can also purchase a regular cozy from the convenience store. These can at least give your pencil holder stability, if you aren’t concerned about the design.

Paint fumes and aerosol sprays aren't very healthy to breathe in, so make sure you're working in a ventilated area. You can set up a ventilated spray booth and wear a respirator, or use a local exhaust ventilation system. Wearing gloves and eye protection are important safety precautions as well. The self-etching primer is what will allow the regular primer to grab hold of the metal. Cover the entire bumper with the self-etching primer, spraying 2-3 even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before continuing. When spraying in between layers, self-etching primer should only take a couple of minutes to dry. Allow the last coat to sit for 3-4 hours before starting to sand. The regular primer will help to bond the paint to the chrome, strengthen the metal, and prevent rusting, so don’t just use the self-etching primer and not the regular one as well. Cover the entire surface evenly using 2-3 coats, and wait for each coat to dry before applying the next one. Depending on which type of primer you're using and what kind of paint you'll be using on top, the regular primer's drying time will vary. Check the instructions on the primer to see how long to let it sit. Once your bumper’s primer is completely dry, you can start sanding. The purpose of this sanding is to smooth out the surface of the primer while not getting to the chrome layer, so only use a very fine sandpaper (400- to 600-grit) for this step. If you do happen to sand through the primer and reach the chrome surface, re-apply the primer, let it dry, and sand again. Use a cloth to wipe off any dust particles left over from sanding. You don’t want any dirt left on your bumper, as this will affect how the paint sticks to the surface. To avoid accidentally removing the primer, be gentle when wiping. You can use water, lacquer thinner, or a wax and grease remover to wipe away the dust.

Paint the lipstick onto the tip of your nose and around both nostrils and spread it outward with the pad of your finger. Work a little into the creases around the edges, as well. Blend thoroughly and wipe off the excess where it begins to creep higher up on your nose or onto your cheeks.  Stay away from shades that are too dark or too red. These scream “circus clown” more than they do “patient zero.”  Carry a box of tissues around with you to complete the illusion. Use a cotton swab to brush the glycerin under the openings of your nostrils. The clear liquid can pull double duty when dabbed around your brow and hairline like beads of sweat. Don’t forget areas like your neck and temples if you’re attempting to play off a big illness like the flu. Glycerin is safe, non-toxic, and can actually moisturize your skin, which means it’s okay to use as much as you need to really sell your symptoms. Spread a thin coat of liquid foundation over both lips, then press and pucker them like you just put on chapstick to create little cracks and creases. Be sure to hit the inside of each lip as well as the front so the foundation will be visible when you open your mouth. When your lips are the same color as the surrounding skin, they'll seem to recede right into your face.  Tracing around your lips with a light-colored eyeliner pencil will help accentuate their dry, cracked, crusty condition and make people think you've come down with something serious.  If you accidentally apply too much foundation, blot (don't wipe) your lips with a damp cloth to remove the caked-on bits.

Paint your shell a solid color and let it dry. Then, turn it into a critter by painting designs onto it, or glue on extras, such as cut pipe cleaners and googly eyes.  Draw a head, a vertical line, and some black spots to make a ladybug.  Turn your shell into a crab by gluing on two googly eyes to the top/point of the shell, and short, pipe cleaner stems to the back. Turn your shell into a fish by gluing a googly eye to the top/point of the shell, and smaller shells to make the fins. Ocean scenes are the best, but you can paint any sort of scene you'd like. Start with the sky first, then move onto the background (ie: ocean, mountains, grass, etc). Paint the largest object next (such as houses and trees) and finish off with the details (such as flowers, windows, and birds). Let each layer dry before you move onto the next. Paint the shell a solid color first, let it dry, then paint some geometric designs, such as zigzags, using a contrasting color. Black and white are classic combinations, but you can try other combinations, such as blue and white, or rainbow on top of black. Paint your shell a solid color first and let it dry, then make lots of tiny dots using the tip of a fine-pointed brush. Try to vary the sizes of the dots, and make them as close together as possible. You can make them all one color, or use different colors to create a striped or radial effect. Paint your shell using some pearlescent paint and let it dry. Then, add some glue where you want the glitter or gemstones to go. Add the glitter or gemstones, and let it dry again. Display it someplace where it will catch the sunlight and sparkle.  Fine, iridescent glitter will work the best for this. You can find it in the scrapbooking aisle of an arts and crafts store. Use white glue for glitter, and super glue for gemstones. Instead of glitter, try colored sand for some interesting texture! You can paint the entire shell a solid color, or just the edge for something more elegant. You can even paint just one side of the shell, and leave the other...

Painting classes will greatly improve your observational skills because you will have to paint whatever you see in front of you, whether it's a beautiful landscape or a bowl of fruit. You'll have to understand lighting, proportion, and other key elements that will help you see what is really in front of you and to analyze it as well. You don't have to be naturally gifted to take a painting class. Even if you don't come out a stellar artist, your observational skills will reap the benefits. Situate yourself in a coffee shop or a park, get your latte, and watch what people are doing. Pay attention to body language, moods, conversations, and actions. You can look at them in general, or you can look out for specific things – unhappy couples, career-oriented women, best friends, people who are nervous, etc. This will help you hone your observational skills and get used to observing people from a distance. Just make sure you don't look like a creeper. Don't watch children on a playground or do anything that would arouse suspicion. Try to be discreet by bringing a book or something to do while you watch. Puzzles help you pay attention to all of the little details and to see that every little piece is slightly different and can only fit into one place. Spending time alone working on a puzzle can sharpen your mind and memory and it can also help you notice the beauty in the details of many different objects. On a larger level, this can help you see that while many people around you are similar, no two people are alike, and that the differences are worth noticing. Meditating helps build awareness of your mind and body and will help you develop your observational skills in the process.  Take the time to sit down for 10-15 minutes every morning and/or evening, make sure you're comfortable in a quiet room, and listen to the breath rising and falling out of your body. Focus on relaxing one body part at a time until you find yourself in a state of real relaxation, and are able to notice all of the little things around you...

Painting the pine over a tarp will catch drips and prevent you from staining anything other than your object. Look for a well-ventilated area to paint the object, preferably near a window, open door, or outside. Outdoor pine furniture needs added protection from UV light to prevent sun damage. Latex or oil-based paints are ideal for deflecting UV rays and staying vibrant over time. If your pine has been pressure treated, choose latex paint. Before painting, rub the entire surface in circular motions with a fine-grit sandpaper. Pay special attention to any blemishes or uneven areas you notice, then wipe the surface down with a wet cloth afterward to get rid of shavings or sandpaper dust.  The paint will adhere best to a smooth, flat surface. You can also use a wood stripper as an alternative to get rid of bumps or rough areas. Position the primer's nozzle several inches away from the pine's surface. Spray the primer in thin, even layers until you have coated the entire surface. Let the primer dry for 30-60 minutes before painting the pine object. Coat the object's surface in layers using a paintbrush or with the same technique that you applied the paint primer, depending on whether you're using spray paint. Depending on how bright you want the color to be, apply at least 2-3 paint coats to the object's surface.  Make each layer as even and thin as possible for a smooth surface. Wait for the paint to dry, which should take between 30-60 minutes, before applying additional coats. Once the last coat dries, spray a paint sealant in even layers, just as you did with the primer. Make sure you cover the entire surface to give the pine object a glossy, protective finish. Don't place the object outside until it's sealant has finished drying, which should take up to 60 minutes. If your pine's paint finish appears faded or cracked, apply 1-2 new paint coats over the object's surface. Apply a layer of paint sealant over the coats to protect the new coats and prevent weather damage.  How often you'll need new paint coats...

Palms vary in size from relatively small Windmill and Sago Palms, to giants like Royal Palms and Queen Palms which, when grown, may tower fifty feet in the air. The amount of sunlight palm trees require, as well as the amount of cold they tolerate, also depend on species. Consult a list of some common palms used in landscaping, and their sunlight requirements and cold tolerances:  Warm weather palms:   Cuban or Florida Royal Palm. Cold tolerant to 22° F (-5° C); full sun to partial shade.  Sago Palms. Cold tolerant to 20° F (-6° C); filtered sunlight to full sun.  Canary Island Date Palm. Cold tolerant to 19° F (-7° C).  Queen Palm. Cold tolerant to 18° F (-7° C); full sun.   Cold weather palms:   Mexican Fan Palm. Cold tolerant to 15° F (-9° C).  Cabbage Palms. Cold tolerant to 12° F (-11° C); full sun.  Pindo Palm. Cold tolerant to 10° F (-12° C).  Chinese Windmill Palm. Cold tolerant to 8° F (-13° C); full sun. What size palm you select will depend largely on just three things:  Budget: Small palms cost less, big palms cost more. Small palms can cost as little as $100 while big behemoths can cost thousands of dollars. Aesthetics: Do you want to watch your palm grow, or do you want it to immediately fit into your landscape? Mature trees cost much more than immature trees. Maneuverability. Starting with mature palms is expensive, sometimes so big that they need to be trucked and craned into the site. If you're trying to plant in a location where maneuvering big trees is going to be hard, you may want to opt for a smaller one. Because large palm trees are extremely heavy and you may need to use heavy equipment during the planting process, it's best to look for an area that is easily accessible. Planting on an even, low slope in the front yard will be much easier than planting on a steep grade or in the back. Check into the property plat plan. See city or county permits, maps and utility plats, and call your local utility for locating service to be sure of routing of underground utilities, if there is any...

Panic disorder affects roughly 6 million adults in the United States and is more commonly experienced by women. The attacks associated with panic disorder generally last only a few minutes, but can reoccur for hours at a time.Some of the symptoms of panic disorder include:  Sudden and repeated attacks of fear. Feeling out of control during an attack. Experiencing a fear or terror that is almost paralyzing. Fear or anxiety about when the next attack might occur. Avoiding places where previous attacks have occurred . Feeling that you are going crazy or are about to die. Physical symptoms during an attack may include a pounding or racing heart, sweating, difficulty breathing, weakness or dizziness, feeling hot or a cold chill, tingly or numb hands, chest pain, choking, or stomach pain. Experiencing general feelings of anxiety or one or two panic attacks, while frightening, does not mean you have panic disorder. The defining characteristic of the disorder is the persistent fear of having future panic attacks. If you have had four or more panic attacks and are fearful of when your next attack will occur, locate a mental health professional who specializes in panic or anxiety disorders.  People with panic disorder are more afraid of when and where their next attack will occur than they are of particular objects or events.  Remember that everyone experiences anxiety — it's a normal reaction to stress. Feeling anxious does not mean you have a disorder. Normal anxiety usually occurs because of something specific, like an upcoming presentation or a big game. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety is constant and can appear to have no source. When left untreated, panic disorder can have serious side effects. One of the most severe consequences of panic disorder is the development of phobias. If, for instance, you had an attack while riding in a elevator, you may begin have serious anxiety about elevators; you may begin to avoid them and may develop a phobia. You may give up a great apartment or job because...

Panicking can cause you to make poor decisions and affect your judgment. If you're going to get out of the woods, you need to have a clear head. Take deep breaths and focus on the tasks at hand.  Focus on one task at a time to keep from getting overwhelmed. Have hope that you're going to get out of the woods. It may be difficult for you to find adequate food and water if you're lost in the woods. Try not to sweat or use too much energy by doing things like running around and screaming for help if you're by yourself. Conserve as much energy as you can for doing things like building shelter, fire, and searching for water. Stay put in one location for a better chance at being rescued. If you have determined you are hopelessly lost, your best tactic is to stop and hunker down in a safe place rather than to try to hike out.   If you aren't safe where you are, find a safe location nearby. When lost, humans have a tendency to walk in wide circles, often coming back to the same locations time and time again. In the process, a lot of time, energy, and emotional focus is lost. If you don't know where you are, you could walk in the wrong direction and make it much more difficult for people to find you. Build a fire and add a bunch of green leaves or pine needles to create a lot of smoke. Take a large branch with green leaves on it and cover the fire for 3-4 seconds to stop the smoke from escaping. Then, remove the branch to allow the smoke cloud to escape. Repeat the process to form a line of cloudy puffs of smoke in the sky. The puffs of smoke will tell people looking for you that the fire is manmade and that you're signaling your location.

Papaya contains the enzyme papain, which exfoliates the skin by uncovering new cells and bringing these new cells to the surface of the skin, giving it a lighter appearance. You can get papaya soaps and creams, which you can apply to your birthmark 2 to 3 times a day. Apricots also contain enzymes that may lighten birthmarks in some individuals, and there are a number of apricot skin scrubs on the market. Alternatively, use fresh fruit and apply slices of the fruit directly onto the birthmark for 10 minutes. Repeat daily and rinse off the fruit juice with warm water. Healthcare practitioners believe that the citric acid in lemon juice may have a potent bleaching compound which can help lighten the birthmark on your skin. Lemon juice has been used traditionally to lighten areas of skin. This bleaching effect becomes stronger in the sun, though it is advisable to stay out of the sun while the lemon juice is on your skin because there is no way to predict how much of a bleaching effect the combination of sun and lemon juice might have. To use lemon juice:  Cut a lemon in half using a knife. Apply the lemon juice directly to the birthmark while squeezing it. Make sure to cover the entire area for at least 10 minutes and then wash thoroughly with warm water. Pat the area dry with a clean towel. Repeat this process 3 times a day. Apply lemon slices to the area of the birthmark if you prefer. Leave the lemon slices on for 10 minutes. Rinse off the lemon juice with warm water when done. Repeat daily. Tomato juice is slightly acidic and contains high levels of antioxidants which can, in theory, react with skin pigments and lighten the birthmark. Like lemons, it seems that tomatoes may have antioxidant properties that can help to minimize skin damage. It also may have a natural bleaching property similar to the citric acid found in lemon juice. To use a tomato to lighten your birthmark:  Take the juice of a fresh-cut tomato and apply it directly to the pigmented birthmark. Apply the juice for at least 10 minutes and...

Papaya, ginger, and peppermint are excellent for soothing upset tummies. Papaya, ginger, and peppermint chews are all available at health food stores. These items resemble candy and taste good, so your child is more likely to eat it. Always be sure to read the packaging to see how many chews your child can eat in a day. Be sure as well that your child is old enough to consume the chews safely. Ginger and mint are also available in tea form. These warm beverages work quickly to ease stomach discomfort. Make your child a cup of warm mint or ginger tea. You may add a bit of honey if it helps them to enjoy it.  Avoid adding white sugar to the tea, as this may aggravate the child’s stomach. Don’t add honey if the child is under 2 years old, either. Since infants and toddlers  don’t have the right digestive organisms, honey can cause a dangerous illness called infant botulism. Gripe water is a product sold to relieve colic and other tummy troubles in infants, but it can be helpful for older kids too. The main ingredient is fennel oil, which can help ease gas, bloating, or upset stomach. Try to avoid gripe water varieties that contain sweetener (sucrose) or alcohol. Warmth can encourage your child’s stomach muscles to relax, helping to ease the discomfort. Use a traditional heating pad (on low), or warm a cloth in the microwave. With soft hands, rub circles around your child’s stomach. This should provide some comfort, while also encouraging their muscles to relax. Continue this for 5-10 minutes. Avoid moving too quickly or pressing too hard.

Paraffin wax is often used in beauty products to moisturize skin. Heat some in a microwave safe bowl. Once heated, carefully pour onto a plate, or pan, large enough to fit your foot on. Gently place each foot into the wax. Allow wax to stiffen and place a sock on each foot. Leave it on your feet for the night and peel it off in the morning.  The exact amount needed may vary depending on the size of your feet. Start with about ½ cup (118.3 ml) and if this ends up not being enough, use a little more the next time. When you peel the wax off in the morning, throw it away in the trash. Try to keep it from falling onto the carpet. You can purchase socks that are specifically made for this type of overnight treatment if you don’t want to get wax on your regular socks. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp (14.8 ml) of petroleum jelly with 2-3 drops of lime juice. Gently massage this mixture onto your feet before bed and wear socks to keep it from rubbing off on the sheets.  For repeated treatments, you may want to designate one or two pair of socks that are specifically for this purpose. You can also substitute lemon juice, because both have acidic properties that help remove dead skin. Take ¼ cup (59.1 ml) of oatmeal and blend until it is powdery and smooth. Then do the same with ¼ cup (59.1 ml) of almonds. Pour both powders into a bowl and add 2 tbsp (29.6 ml) of honey and 3 tbsp (44.4 ml) of food grade cocoa butter. Stir thoroughly into a gooey mixture. Apply this mixture to your feet and wear socks to bed. Rinse off in the morning.  This process can be done on a weekly basis, or a couple times a week, to slowly remove dead skin and make your feet softer. If you don’t have a blender, you could crush the oatmeal and almonds in a plastic bag with a mallet. You can do whatever works to get them as close to powder as possible.

Parasites often feed on sugar; you need to cut off the parasite’s food supply to weaken it in your body. Try and avoid these carbohydrates for at least a week to be effective.  Simple carbohydrates are the sugars naturally or unnaturally in food. Some examples of simple carbs include brown sugar, syrup, raw sugar, corn syrup, fruit juice concentrates.  Simple carbs can also be found in non-whole-grain breads. Try and consume more complex carbohydrates; these are carbs with more dietary fiber than sugar. Foods high in complex carbs include barley, brown rice, oatmeal, and seeds. Seeds from pumpkins, flax, and papaya are natural and effective ways to weaken and remove intestinal parasites.. Studies have shown that, over a period of a week, eating raw seeds benefits patients.  Flax seeds have been categorized as a “super food” in aiding certain digestive ailments.  Certain raw seeds, like pumpkin, can even be beneficial in helping remove parasites in pets. Always talk to your vet before trying this. Garlic, another superfood, also helps weaken parasites by boosting your body’s immune response. It is recommended to take two garlic tablets three times a day at meals for ten days to see results.

Parents are often more distressed than their teenagers by bickering or minor, day-to-day arguments. They may still be troubled by a conflict that you have almost forgotten about. If your parent still seems upset about an old conflict, don’t dismiss their feelings. Instead, ask them what is still bothering them, and listen thoughtfully to their answer. Teenagers and parents often frame conflicts in different ways. Teenagers are more likely to emphasize personal choice, while their parents are more likely to focus on underlying issues of right versus wrong. For example, you might see your messy room as just one way to live, while your parent might see a certain level of dirtiness as fundamentally wrong. While it can be frustrating, try not to tell your parents that their way of seeing things is completely wrong. Instead, focus on practical issues: how often do your parents expect you to do your laundry? Will your mess bother them less if the door is shut? You are likely to be more emotional at this phase of your life. In addition, you might tend to see emotion in others, even when it’s not there. Practice reality testing: ask your parents calmly how they feel about something, or even ask them directly: “Were you angry at me when I came in just now?” Doing fun activities together can help foster a good relationship with your parents. It’s helpful for them to see you out in the world, navigating different situations with maturity and grace. For example, inviting your parents to go on a hike with you might help them to feel more open to allowing you to go on an overnight camping trip later on. Teenagers naturally seek out stronger connections with their peers than with their parents. If you let your parents get to know your friends, however, it will be easier for them to be open to letting you spend time with them later at night or in more independent ways. If you are able to talk seriously and openly about adult issues such as sex, relationships, and your future, you will have a better and more adult relationship...

Parents can easily be overprotective of any child, but the tendency can increase even further when the child has a hearing impairment.  You may want to shield the child from difficulties and embarrassments, but you will do a disservice to their social development in the process.  By and large, your mantra should be to “expect more and protect less,” within the reasonable bounds of the child’s circumstances.  Hold a hard of hearing child to the same expectations for social behavior as other children, once again with some adaptations as needed to suit their condition. Hard of hearing children need to be able to “play nice,” follow the rules, and be held accountable for their actions. Treat them as kids with some special circumstances, not as kids who need special treatment (or constant, hovering supervision). At home or in the classroom, hard of hearing children should have assigned chores or tasks like all the other kids, and the same expectations (and rewards) for completing them. Ignore the fears you may hear among some people that instructing a hard of hearing child in sign language early on will interfere with the development of spoken language comprehension and usage.  In reality, learning spoken and sign language together can be mutually supportive, just like learning two spoken languages at the same time. And, like spoken languages, the earlier in life you start, the easier sign language is to “pick up.”  American Sign Language (ASL) is the third most commonly used language in the United States. Classes are widely available, and are worth the time for anyone who interacts with deaf and hard of hearing people — or may wish to at some point. Developing spoken language skills in hearing impaired children requires some particular skills, of course, but is important in regards to social development.  Small points of emphasis like making eye contact, focusing on facial expressions and hand gestures, and taking turns while practicing can be helpful.

Park the vehicle in a safe, secure place (like a garage or a level stretch of ground) and open the hood to access the engine compartment. Look for the distributor - often, this is a cylindrical part with thick wires coming out of it that sits near the engine. Most distributors are located above ordinary V6 and V8 engines and to one side of inline I4 and I6 engines. The distributor has a plastic cap with spark plug wires coming out of it. There will be one wire for each cylinder of the engine. There will also be one additional wire connected to the ignition coil. Replacing the distributor requires you to use a timing light to set the timing of the engine after the new distributor is installed. To do this, you'll need to use the timing specifications unique to your vehicle. Often, these are on a sticker under the hood or in the engine compartment. You may also be able to find these in your vehicle's manual or online. If you can't find the timing specifications for your vehicle, don't attempt to install a new distributor. In this case, it's much safer and easier to simply bring your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. As noted above, most distributors have a plastic cap from which the ignition wires emerge. To begin removing the distributor, remove this cap. This may or may not require basic tools - some caps have clamps that can be loosened by hand, while others may require screwdrivers or even socket wrenches to unscrew screws and/or bolts holding the cap in place. Before disconnecting each wire, mark it so that you'll be able to reconnect it in the same place in the new distributor. Electrical tape works well for this purpose - use the tape to give each wire a "tag" and, if you'd like, make notes on the tag with a marker. As when working with any sort of electrical system, you'll want to use a healthy amount of common sense. Never tamper with a vehicle's electrical wires while the vehicle is running or any electrical current is flowing through the engine compartment. To make it a little easier to install the new...

Parsley comes in two general varieties: curly leaf and flat leaf (also known as Italian parsley). Flat leaf parsley tends to have a slightly stronger flavor than that of curly-leaf parsley, but both types are relatively mild. You will also need to decide if you want to grow your parsley from seed, or if you will grow the plant from a start/potted version. Parsley works well in any garden or pot, as it doesn’t have strict growing conditions under which it thrives. Choose an area that gets at least partial sunlight, either in its own plot or between other garden plants. If you decide to pot your parsley, place it on a windowsill that gets morning sunlight, such as on an eastern-facing windowsill. Soil that is relatively loose, full of compost/nutrients, and has a pH level between 6 and 7 is perfect for parsley. Test the pH of the soil, and incorporate peat moss into it if the soil is too basic. To create the perfect soil mixture, mix 50% potting soil with 50% compost for nutrients. This will create a light and airy soil mixture that will make it easier for the small root-system of the parsley to attach itself to.

Part of becoming friends with someone involves getting connected, both in person and online. Follow him on Instagram and Snapchat (if you don’t already), and ask for his number. After you get his phone number, send him a text with your name so he can add you to his phone. You could write something like, “Hi, this is Kayla from the football game. Nice talking to you tonight!” Or try something like, “Hey Bryan, this is Ben (we met at the batting range yesterday). Let me know if you want to meet up and practice swings sometime.” with you, even if it’s a new interest. Of course, by all means, ask him to do things that you know he will enjoy. But don’t be afraid to ask him to attend something different, too—you never know what kind of shared interests you might find, plus it’ll be a common talking point that you can refer to in the future.  You could always arrange a group hangout, too, and invite him along with some other friends. This might alleviate some pressure if you’re worried about giving the wrong impression through spending one-on-one time together. Check out a new restaurant or coffee shop, go to a movie or a play, sign up to run a 5k, volunteer, visit a museum or art gallery, make a trip to see a sports game, or take a cooking class. There are tons of things you can do together to get to know each other better. When you’re just starting to connect with a new friend, it’s a great idea to keep things positive and light-hearted. Some guys might get intimidated or turned off from the friendship if you dive right into the deep emotional stuff. Try to inject your conversations with humor and come up with some inside jokes to make a deeper connection with your new friend. Authentic people are the best people to be friends with. So be yourself, and trust that if you two do connect, you can create a long-lasting friendship. You yourself are fun and interesting, and if you have common interests with this guy, there is no reason you shouldn’t start becoming friends! Confidence helps to attract others to you, and...

Part of becoming more comfortable around him is going out of your way to spend more quality time with him. Make plans with him in settings that feel comfortable to you, whether you hang out one-on-one or with a group. If you and your boyfriend were not already friends when you began dating, then you likely do not know much about him yet. Take time to get to know him better so that you have a better understanding of who he is as a person. Make sure that you are willing to answer any question you ask him so that he can get to know you better as well.  “What is your favorite memory from your childhood?” “What is your family like?” “What is your favorite thing about your family?” “What is your favorite genre of music?” “What do you do when you feel too stressed out?” “If money were no object, what would you do with your life? Why?” “If you could go on a vacation to anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why?” “Have you traveled much? Where have you gone?” “What is your favorite hobby?” Another contributing factor to your nervousness around him might be that you are still trying to put on a certain persona. When he asks you questions about yourself, be sure to answer honestly. Not only will this build trust, but it will also give you the opportunity to be yourself and allow him to like you for who you really are. It is never a good idea to build a relationship on secrets and lies. Think about how you would feel if you found out that he lied to you about himself. Both of you will feel more at ease when your dates are planned around something you both enjoy. Discuss with your boyfriend what types of activities you both enjoy and would have the most fun doing.   Go see a movie you both enjoy. Go to a concert for a band or artist you both like. Play a board or video game that you both love. Attend a group date with mutual friends.

Part of being a mentalist is about trusting your judgment. Unfortunately, most people have turned their observation skills off. General and non-overt assessment of an individual provides good background information that is normally missed.  For example, are the person's hands soft or calloused? Is his musculature toned or not? Is the person dressed to stand out or to hide? Take yourself right now -- what might someone learn about you just from looking at you? There are dozens of general assessment information items that will help you to profile the individual. Think of Sherlock Holmes -- he didn't have ESP, he just noticed things. That's all. A slight tan line on the left ring finger. A pen mark on the left hand. He would now trust that this person is either divorced or separated and right-handed. Trust those snap judgments! A mentalist's work lies in stirring memories and causing the "tells" to appear, even if the person cannot bring to mind the information. “Tells” will help you to observe what the mind knows but the memory cannot call forth. Remember that although someone may say they do not remember something, the brain records everything. As such, the information is there, but just not accessible to that person at that time. "Tells" include:  Dilation or constriction of the pupil of the eye (dilation is associated with positive emotion; constriction with negative).  Where the person gazes Rate of respiration Heart rate Relative perspiration of the body Knowing what tells to look for isn't helpful if you don't know what they mean. While each person is a bit different, tells are called as such because they're usually consistent. So get in front of a mirror and start studying your own face. Here's a few things to look for:  When you think of a positive memory, your pupils should dilate. When you think of a negative experience, they should constrict. Imagine both of these scenarios and see what happens. Think of an answer to this question: What do you like about going to the beach? Once you've come up with...

Part of being mature is making sound, reasoned decisions. Take a piece of paper, fold it down the middle, and list the pros of a decision on one side and the cons on the other. Think about how your decision will impact the people in your life. If the pros outweigh the cons, then it’s probably a good decision. Consider asking your parents for their advice. They’ll be able to give valuable input, plus they’ll be super impressed by your pro-con list! Do kind things for your family members without them asking. You might make lunch for your little sister, take the dog for a walk, or help your mom make dinner. Not only will you look mature, but your family members with thank you for your kindness. Ask your teacher, parents, or other adults how their day is going when you see them. This simple greeting shows you’ve got great manners, which can make you seem more mature. You could say, “Hi, Mrs. Andrews. How has your day been so far?” Mature people keep their promises. If you committed to helping your little brother with his homework after school, make sure you do it. To avoid broken promises and disappointed friends and family members, don’t make promises that you can’t keep.  Before you make a promise, think about all the things that could stop you from following through. If there are too many, you may not want to make the promise. Even small promises are important. If you told your dad you’d call him when you got to your friend’s house, do it.

Part of being poised is maintaining your composure in difficult or irritating situations. Instead of reacting automatically in a negative way such as storming out of the room or yelling at someone, maintain your poise by stopping and take a breath or removing yourself from the situation in an elegant way (i.e. excusing yourself to go to the restroom). If you are alone, you can try a deep breathing exercise to calm yourself down. Breathe in through your nose deeply and out through your mouth slowly. Focus on your breathing and your experience of it. Your body should begin to relax and once you feel calm you can stop the breathing exercise. Being mindful of what you are reacting to is an important component of keeping your composure. If you observe what is happening, you can begin to change how you react to the situation and be more poised.  Ask yourself, “What am I reacting to? What am I thinking and feeling about this situation? Is this something that is a pattern from my past? Am I upset about this situation or does it remind me of something else that happened and struck a chord with me?” Look at the bigger picture. Observe the situation from afar as if you were in a helicopter viewing it from the sky. What is the bigger picture? Will this situation matter in 1 month, 6 months, or a year? You may find that you react to situations that do not affect your life in the long-term. Having a plan on how to deal with difficult emotions is one surefire way to maintain your composure in difficult situations. Identify ways to cope with difficult emotions that work for you. For example, if you notice that you tend to get angry when people do not agree with you on a topic, you may develop specific coping mechanisms for dealing with this situation. This might include taking deep breaths, counting to ten, or reminding yourself that others can have different opinions and it doesn't mean that they think you are dumb or don't like you.

Part of being true to yourself is saying what you actually mean. It can be very tempting to give in to peer pressure or social expectation and merely repeat the opinions of others. However, people who are true to themselves resist this impulse, and let their honest thoughts and feelings be known (without being rude about it, of course). For example, if some of your friends are singing the praise of a film that you didn’t enjoy, you can say something like, “I’m glad you guys like the movie, but it didn’t do much for me.” In social settings, it can be tempting to pick on people for the sake of making yourself look witty, clever, or cool. Avoid this impulse. For example, if your friend group is teasing a less-popular person, don’t join in the teasing for the sake of making your friends laugh. Instead, say something like, “I think we should stop the teasing, guys.” This will show your friends that you have personal morals and won’t change your behavior simply because it gets a laugh. The people we hang out with have a big influence on who we are as people, and it’s hard to stay true to yourself when everyone around you is influencing or pressuring you to be something or someone other than yourself. Supportive friends can let you know if you’re acting out, and can support when you’re going through tough times.   Choose your friends wisely. Be close with genuinely kind and nice people, not cruel or detracting ones. Make sure that your friends support and admire you for being yourself; if they don’t, question their motives and the reasons for your friendships. Make sure you have friends or close family members that can serve as your integrity accountability mentors. This person should help you when you need to consult someone about making decisions in line with your values. As a general rule, there’s very little to be gained by deceiving others about who you are or what you value. People who are true to themselves are comfortable with letting their true beliefs and personality be known. If you feel like you need to...

Part of codependent relationships is familiarity and "button-pushing."That is why in some situations, it may help to say no and distance yourself from your codependent family members, at least temporarily. Finding the right way to say no will depend on the situation, but it can empower you to walk away when things get rough.  In some cases, when codependent behaviors are not spiraling or threatening your sense of self, you may use a calm response. These could include, "Sorry, I just wouldn't be comfortable doing that," or "Yes, I see that you don't have the same point of view; we are not communicating.” In situations where you feel it is important to disengage quickly, a simple “No,” or “I can’t do that,” will work. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Your family member may develop an emotionally-charged response, but you are not obligated to meet their emotions. Violent communication is a form of communication that causes harm, often through coercive or manipulative language. You can start to remove yourself from a codependent dynamic by practicing nonviolent communication. This can help strip the violent communication of its power, and help you detach from the controls of codependency.  Nonviolent communication relies on explaining how you feel without blame or criticism and expressing your needs with empathy. For example, instead of saying, “You always try to control me! Stop!” you may say, “When I hear you telling me that, I feel like I don’t have personal autonomy. I value being able to make that kind of decision for myself. Would you be willing to let me do so?” Using "I" statements helps communicate your point without assigning blame or causing your family member to get defensive. If your family member’s codependency is dictating or dominating your life, you may not want to selectively detach. Instead, you may find it more beneficial to detach completely for a longer period of time. This could be anywhere from a day to a period of years, depending on their behavior and your needs.  In these...

Part of dealing with resentment is listening to your partner. You can’t deal with resentment and the issues that lead to the resentment if you don’t listen to each other’s problems and feelings. Though it may be hard to hear, take a step back and objectively listen to what your partner has to say. Listening to your partner, even if you feel resentment also, helps you work through the problems and reach a solution. Refusing to listen leads to more resentment, and can eventually lead to the end of the marriage. If you find that you cannot talk to your spouse or that your partner won’t listen to you, you may need to see a marriage counselor or a therapist. A professional can help mediate between you and your spouse, help you both figure out how to say what you can’t verbalize, and help you work towards a solution. Even if your partner won’t see a marriage counselor, you may consider seeing one to help you figure out how to deal with the issues in your marriage, and how to better communicate. When you discuss your resentment, you may feel inclined to place blame on your partner. This generally leads to more problems, anger, and resentment. When you talk to your spouse, use only “I” statements to bring up issues. This helps you avoid accusing your spouse of things. For example, you may say, “I feel overwhelmed and frustrated because the house is always a mess. I need help because I cannot do everything by myself.”

Part of having a solid perspective is to learn to forgive small imperfections. No one can be the perfect mother all the time. Accept that some things will not turn out exactly as imagined.  Sometimes, chores fall to the wayside. You might not get laundry, dishes, and vacuuming done on the exact schedule you desire. Try to let it go. You can always wash dinner dishes in the morning or put in a load of laundry at night.  You might not make it to every event. You might end up missing a family dinner night now and then or skipping out on a meeting for church or PTA. Try not to stress and remind yourself you're doing the best you can. Oftentimes, motherhood is stressful because of skewed priorities. Mothers sometimes get caught up in small matters rather than focusing on what's really important.  Finances can be a stressful part of parenting, but try to remember time over money is what matters. You may not be able to afford the same toys a child across the street has, but what really matters is quality one-on-one time with your kids. Think about how you spend money. Many parents invest in their kids by spending extra money on expensive sports equipment, art supplies, or other things to fuel a child's passions. While it's important to encourage your kids to explore their interests, remember again that time is what matters most of all. Instead of buying a new, better piano for your daughter to practice on, consider paying someone to help out with cleaning. Use the time you would spend on dishes and laundry listening to your daughter play. While it can be hard to feel grateful when you're stressed, striving for gratitude can help put things in perspective. Try to be thankful for your family and your children, even when things are hard. This can reduce your stressful level and make for a more harmonious home. Many mothers see asking for help as a sign of defeat. Understand this is not the case. It's okay to ask the sitter to stay extra hours or ask your parents if they can take the kids for the afternoon. Being a mom...

Part of keeping your baby goat happy and healthy will involve giving them a proper space to live in.  Baby goats need a space that is both warm and dry, as either cold or dampness can have an ill effect on their health.  Make sure there is plenty of warm bedding, such as pine chips , wheat straw and hay can be used for warm bedding . Change any bedding that becomes wet. If the area is cold, consider adding a heat lamp.  Make sure the heat lamp is absolutely secure, as it is a fire hazard. Keep the lamp at least 3 ft (0.91 m) above the kids, and make sure they can go to a cooler area if they get too warm. The umbilical cord should naturally break away from both the newborn and the mother.  However, freshly broken navel cords can become infected and may need additional attention.  Never cut the cord between the mother and newborn.  Allow this to break naturally.  Only attempt trimming the cord if it is longer than four inches after it breaks. If you are unsure of what to do, make sure your veterinarian is on site during the birthing process. If the cord is still quite long, you should trim it closer to the kids stomach. Trim to about three to four inches in length. Always used sterilized instruments.  Make sure whatever instrument, such as a pair of scissors, are sharp enough to make the cut. Dip the cord in iodine, betadine, or diluted chlorhexidine. This kills bacteria and prevents infection. It also helps the cord dry much faster. The cord should fall away from the newborn within three weeks. After you help the mother trim the umbilical cord, leave her baby goat with her.  The mother will want to lick the baby clean.  Allowing the mother to clean the baby will increase the bond between them. Creating a bond between the mother and newborn is extremely important. Stay with both the mother and the newborn goat.  Help keep the birthing area clean and monitor the baby goat. A few moments after the baby goat, or goats, have come out the afterbirth will follow.

Part of making a graceful exit is knowing when you are not wanted. This could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe the girl's just not digging you. That's okay. Maybe she has a boyfriend and doesn't want to waste your time. Maybe she just wants to spend time with her girlfriends. Whatever the reason, once you get the sense it's time to leave, get going.  If the conversation lags completely and the girl is checking her phone or looking around constantly, it's time to leave. If her friends start rolling their eyes at you or ignoring you, it's time to leave. Once you know it's time to go, don't embarrass yourself further by saying, "Well, it looks like you're just not interested" or "Sorry to bother you." Just say, "Hey, it was great talking to you. I'll see you around later." Walk out with a smile on your face, even if you're disappointed. But if she's laughing a lot, maintaining eye contact, playing with her hair, and just generally looking like she's having a great time talking to you and wants more, it's time to step it up. If you've really clicked during the conversation, and the girl is clearly into you, then it's time to kick it up a notch and see where this thing goes. You're trying to pick up the woman, right? So what are you waiting for?  If you're at a bar or nightclub and things are wrapping up, you can say, "How about we go somewhere more private to talk?" Or, "What do you say we get out of here?" If you know the girl wants to keep hanging out but you don't want to turn her off by trying to isolate her yet, ask her if she and her friends want to go to a quieter bar down the street, or invite her out to an after party with your friends. Remember, she just met you, and even if she likes you, she may not want to get down on the first night. If you're not ready to ask her to come home with you, get her number. Don't be nervous. Just make it clear that you're really asking her out. Say, "Hey, this has been a great conversation, and I'd love to talk to you more over drinks or dinner. Can I get your number...

Part of prioritizing your marriage and working on intimacy is spending time together. Your marriage can’t be a priority if you don’t make time for it. Take a look at your daily schedule. Find a block of time each day where you can be with your spouse.  You may have to cancel something, rearrange certain responsibilities, or make certain things easier and quicker to make time for your spouse. For example, you may choose to make a quick, easy dinner so you and your spouse can have half an hour after dinner to spend talking. You may ask your spouse to pick up the kids instead of you, go to the gym in the morning, or move a stack of work to the next day. Spend at least 15 to 30 minutes together with no electronic devices. Talk to one another about your days. Hold one another. Kiss. Spend this time enjoying each other and connecting. You can’t work on increasing the intimacy in your marriage alone. It has to be a joint effort between you and your spouse. When you are figuring out how and when to spend time together, make sure you plan together. Don’t plan it and tell your spouse. Instead, work together. This can also start to increase intimacy.  Sit down together with your weekly calendars. Think of times you can squeeze in 15 or 20 minutes to be together. If evenings are bad, consider mornings or lunch dates. See if close friends or family members would be willing to watch your kids now and then so that you can spend some time alone with your spouse. For example, you could ask your children's grandparents or a friend who has children around the same age. Every person needs different things to feel an intimate connection. Some people are more physical, while others are more emotional. You and your spouse should discuss what you need from each other to feel more intimate.  For example, you may say, “I need to be touched more, like hand holding, hugs, or your arm around me” or “I need you to be more affectionate. I’d like it if you smiled at me, complimented me, or acted happier to be around me.” Meeting your spouse...

Part of stopping another outbreak of acne involves keeping your skin fresh and clean. While soap and water may work, they can dry the skin out or may add oil to your skin, resulting in more skin problems. Some people recommend using a grain mixture to gently wash away dirt and dead skin, keeping your skin clean and healthy. Apply this recipe from a leading herbalist to your face in the evenings, gently rubbing it in, before washing it off:  1 cup (90 g) of ground oatmeal 2 cups (515 g) of white clay 1/4 cup of ground almonds (30 g) 1/4 cup of ground lavender (24 g) 1/4 cup of ground roses (10 g) Optional oils such as peppermint or orange Mix these together with water to create a paste you can apply. Although your skin breathes and functions through its pores, open pores can also become clogged. Tightening your pores using an astringent may help to prevent them from becoming clogged and reduce the chances of an acne outbreak. To create an astringent, you will need to:  Take 1 1/2 cups (about 40 g) of fresh lemon balm, 1 cup (about 25 g) of fresh chamomile flowers, 1 cup (about 25 g) fresh rose petals, 3/4 cups (about 20 g) of calendula, 3/4 cup (about 170 g) of comfrey, 1/4 cup  (about 7 g) of fresh rosemary, and a tablespoon (6 g) of lemon peel. Place them in a large jar. Cover the herbs with witch hazel extract. Allow the herbs to sit for 2 weeks, then strain the liquid and discard the herbs. Add 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of rosewater. Apply the astringent nightly using a cotton ball.
