A storyline will help ensure there's a purpose to the escape room. Maybe your players have to get out of the room in order to deliver top secret intel - or they might have to break into a room in order to successfully "diffuse a bomb." Whatever the storyline, make sure it's easily digestible to the guests. Whether your main storyline is simple or complex, you want to make sure each piece will be doable. Try writing one sentence for each part of the storyline to ensure it doesn't get too complicated. For example, for the beginning of a story you could write, "The players wake up in a room. They see a big poster in front of them with letters and numbers. They solve the puzzle and find out they are in the year 3015." Use sticky notes and a poster or a powerpoint presentation to outline what the players will be doing at each step of the story. Write your one-sentence descriptions on separate post-its, and organize them somewhere you can see.  For example, if the players have to unlock a door in order to escape one room, decide how many clues and puzzles they have to solve along the way and how long they will take. If the players are supposed to find a key, you could require them to gather clues from around the room to spell out the key's location. If you're planning an exceptionally large escape room, or will have many guests, you could have a flowchart that forks at one point -- as long as everything comes together nicely at the end. After the players solve each puzzle, make sure there are instructions or another clue left that leads them to the next piece of the story.  If the players successfully unlock a box, place clues and information inside the box that will lead them to the next challenge and puzzle. Keep in mind the plot of the story, tying together the beginning, middle, climax, and resolution.

A stray cat is someone’s former cat that no longer has a home; a feral cat was born in the wild and is a cat that is wary of humans and generally isn't adoptable due to not being adapted to humans.  You may have success at befriending a stray cat; a feral cat probably not although it may become acclimated to your presence. Whether you have a stray or a feral cat around your home, capturing (or trapping) the cat and bringing it to the veterinarian for vaccinations and to be spayed or neutered is an excellent civic duty. Feral cats that are “fixed” can be released back where you found them. You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing they won’t be able to reproduce and contribute to the feral cat population. Wild cats can be unpredictable so you will need to practice some safety precautions as you are trying to befriend it. Cat bites usually become infected, some very seriously, so you will need to wear long sleeves and pants when trying to befriend the cat. Another concern is rabies in a cat of unknown vaccination status. Use caution and common sense. If the cat starts to hiss or growl, looks sick (runny nose or eyes, scabs, sneezes/coughs, breathes heavily), or acts bizarrely don’t try to befriend it. Call animal control and retreat to your home. If the cat appears healthy and isn’t acting defensive and mean towards you, you can try befriending it. Find a place where the cat usually stays, and wait nearby until the cat reaches its spot.  Sit down or lie down, if you can, or at least crouch. The cat will find you much less intimidating that way. Stay there for a while. Teach the cat you won't hurt it. This should be a fair distance away, 10 feet or so, so you don’t intimidate the cat. Try leaving out some smelly cat food (wet) or even a can of tuna to attract the cat while you are waiting for it to arrive. You want to get the cat to associate you with something good, namely a free lunch. You only need to leave out smelly food the first day. After this leave out a little dry kibble to keep the cat coming back for...

A strong sense of confidence is key to being successful in all areas of your life. To be confident you must understand your strengths and weaknesses, take risks, and trust yourself. When you do see some success, embrace it!  Show confidence by dressing yourself well. Stand up straight and have good posture. Look people in the eye when you talk to them.  Develop a strong handshake. Impulsive decisions are made without planning or foresight for the consequences that will come as a result of that decision. Your ability to control this urge is a sign of immense maturity. For example, going grocery shopping without a grocery list may result in a larger grocery bill and poor dietary choices. Don’t sit around and wait for others to take initiative. Be a leader and take charge. Mature people know how to be helpful and useful without direction from others.  Do more than is required of you at work and school. Take the lead on a community service project in your neighborhood. Take on more responsibilities, such as laundry or mowing, around your home. Goals can be used to keep yourself on track in all areas of life. Use long term and short term goals at work, the gym, or saving for an expensive or luxury item. Write your goals down and display them where you can see them everyday. This will help you keep on track and meet your goals. Once you meet your goals, set new goals.

A study abroad project will give you the opportunity to study in a different country. Use this time to make close friends with your roommates or classmates that you meet as well as locals in the area. Try to take advantage of the unique aspects of the region by eating local food and going to local restaurants and stores. Go to the school’s office and ask someone if there are any international groups that have open registration. If you attend a college or university, there’s a good chance there are international groups who have members from all around the world. Choose a group and see if you can register for it. You don’t have to be from the country and get involved in their activities. Many colleges will have ways for you to get involved with the school’s exchange program. Look on your school’s website and see if there are ways for you to be an ambassador and friend to international students who come to your school. There may also be other volunteer opportunities that you can partake in. If your school puts on special international events you should buy tickets and attend the events. Try to meet people while you’re there and get their contact information so you can become better friends with them.

A sturdy, nicely shaped box would be best.  A good example is a box used for printer paper.  Cereal boxes, tissue boxes, or shoe boxes would work as well.  Also collect four cardboard rolls, these can either be toilet paper or paper towel rolls depending on the size of your castle.  The cardboard rolls will make the turrets on your castle, so make sure that the other boxes you choose are shorter. If you can't find any cardboard rolls, make your own using poster paper. You can make them whatever height you want. Look at photos or illustrations of real castles for inspiration and create a design on paper.  In the case of this article, it's going to be kept simple with just four walls with a traditional rampart design, and four rolls to act as turrets. Then a moat will be added surrounding the castle. If you do design the castle with more complexity, consider:  Creating turrets which are cut out separately and can stand alone. Making one central tall tower for the prince or princess to be stuck in, with a window for the unfortunate royal to stare through. With the box on your working surface, set the four long rolls to each corner of the photocopy paper box (don't physically attach them yet––this gets done later.)  Assess the size of the turrets to the main castle box.  Adjust the turret size if needed.  If you would like the turrets to be taller, you can switch to a longer roll, like a paper towel or wrapping paper roll. To make the turrets shorter, simply cut the current rolls down to size.  Be sure that you measure and cut all four rolls to the same height. Ramparts are the surrounding walls of the castle and commonly have alternating squares and open square spaces.  Use a ruler to measure and trace evenly spaced squares on the top of your box.  Using scissors, cut out every other square to create the rampart walls of the castle.  Another option is cutting a square template from a piece of cardboard and tracing that square all the way around the box. Attempt to measure the square to a size which will fit all...

A stylus, a pencil, a pen, even a chopstick (with its similar approximate shape) will do. Make a note of which hand felt most comfortable holding the object. Write a sentence using one hand on a pad. Once finished, write the same sentence using your other hand. Make a note of which hand you were using when you wrote the clearer version of the sentence.  When choosing a sentence to write, use copy that you haven’t written before. Remember that people are often forced to choose a specific hand to write with when young so you may naturally prefer one hand but use your other hand for writing if that is the way you were taught. Pick a hand and draw a circle, a square, and a triangle. Draw the same shapes with your other hand. Compare your drawings, and make a note of which hand produced clearer lines and more accurate shapes.

A subcutaneous injection (SQ) is one given into the fatty layer of the skin. SQ injections are necessary for specific medications and for doses that usually require small amounts. The fat layer where the injection is given is between the skin and the muscle.  One place that is good to give a subcutaneous injection is the abdomen. Select an area below the waist and above the hip bone, and about two inches away from the belly button. Avoid the belly button area. SQ injections can be given in the thigh area, halfway between the knee and hip, and slightly to the side as long as you can pinch up one to two inches of skin. The lower back is a good place for SQ injections. Target the area above the buttocks, below the waist, and halfway between the spine and the side. The upper arm is a usable site as long as there is enough skin to pinch up one to two inches. Use the area of the upper arm that is halfway between the elbow and shoulder. Alternating between sites will help prevent bruising and skin damage. You can also alter within the same general site by using different patches of skin within that area. Clean the skin on and around the site with rubbing alcohol. Allow the alcohol to dry before administering the injection. This shouldn't take more than a minute or two.  Do not touch the wiped area with your hands or any other material before giving the injection. Verify that you have the right drug, right site of injection, and that you have prepared the correct dose for administration. Hold the syringe with your dominant hand and pull the needle cover off with your other hand. Pinch the skin with your non-dominant hand. Depending on the amount of skin you can pinch, you can insert the needle at either a 45 degree or 90 degree angle.  Use a 45 degree angle if you can only pinch about one inch of skin. If you can pinch two inches of skin, then insert the needle at a 90 degree angle. Grasp the syringe tightly and use a quick motion of your wrist to puncture the skin with the needle. Insert the needle quickly and...

A subtle approach might be best if you think that there is a chance he might not be into guys. If you are still unsure about whether or not this guy is interested in dating you, then you might say something to hint at your interest in a date. This is a lower stakes way of indicating your interest that will give him the opportunity to politely decline.  For example, you could try saying something like, “I need a date for this movie I want to check out on Saturday. You wouldn’t happen to know a guy who would accompany me, would you?” Or, you could try saying, “I really want to ask this cute guy out, but I am not sure if he dates guys or not. What would you do in my situation?” If hints don’t seem to work or if you just want to find out for certain if this guy is interested in dating you, then take a direct approach. Ask him in a straightforward way if he dates guys. If he says yes, then you can ask him if he’d like to go on a date with you.   For example, you might try simply saying something like, “Do you also date guys, or just women?” If he confirms that he dates both men and women, then you could try saying something like, “That’s awesome! We should hang out sometime.” If he says no, then there might be a little awkwardness after. However, this will pass. Try to say something reassuring to return the conversation to a friendly space.  For example, you might say something like, “Okay, cool. I just ask every guy I meet because I can never tell, you know?” If you are getting lots of positive sign from him, then you can go ahead and ask him on a date. Pick something that you will both enjoy based on your conversation and suggest a specific day and place to meet up.    For example, you could say something like, “Since we both love horror movies, we should check out that new one on Saturday. What time works for you?” Or, try saying something like, “I really want to check out that new Indian restaurant, too. Let’s go together this Thursday!”

A successful recycling program depends on the support of students, teachers, staff, administrators and custodians.  Form a committee that's made up of individuals from each of these populations to develop a program that takes into account everyone's needs and addresses everyone's concerns. Designate one person as the representative for each group so that they can explain the need for recycling to their peers and ask for their support.  They can also help communicate program developments and changes and be the "point person" for questions that arise. In some cities, paper recycling is the law and collected paper will be picked up on scheduled trash days.  In other locations, you'll need to find a drop-off point or pick-up service to take your paper.  The website Earth911 has a search feature that allows you find recycling services in your area.  You can also search online to find a local materials recovery center or recycling drop-off center and see if they'll accept your paper. If you can't find a drop-off center for your paper, you may have to explore paying for a pick-up service to haul it away.  Research costs associated with this to be sure if will ultimately benefit your school. Depending on how and where you'll dispose of your recycled paper, you may have to limit or separate what you collect.  Some collection locations will accept "single stream," meaning a variety of paper grades mixed in one collection box, or they'll want "sorted stream" drop-offs, meaning you'll need to separate papers by grades (there are five basic paper grade types.)  Certain types may not be accepted at all.  Find out what and how your collection agency takes and structure your program accordingly.   Old corrugated containers.

A suit, a tie, and sandshoes. He's the charming bloke in a tight suit who taught me how to get the ladies. You'll need to make this suit tight on you. Only allow about one or two inches of space when sizing it. For example, if you've got a size 36" chest, you need a 38" chest on your suit. He never buttoned all four buttons, usually two or three - except in the two part story 'Silence in The Library/Forest of The Dead', which was with the blue suit. You basically want something thin, in a colour palette of blue and either brown or burgundy (for the brown or blue suit respectively), and not overly patterned. Alternatively, you could go without one - if you're going to go this route, spread the collar over your jacket lapel. An undershirt would complete the open neck look. He always wore slim fitting shirts. With the brown suit, he usually wore solid dark blue or light blue coloured dress shirts (he has also worn a light grey, tan, and brown shirt on occasion) (his dark blue shirts are not navy, as navy blue is far darker than the dark blue shirts he wears). With the blue suit, he wore either wine, dark burgundy, or light blue coloured dress shirts. It should be noted he never wore a white dress shirt with his pinstripe suits, as Louise Paige, the costume designer for David's whole run, felt that white was a very high contrast, given the nature of his suits, so if it looks white (such as in a promotional image), it's actually a very light blue. With the brown suit, he wore cream (not white!!!) Chuck Taylors (they looked like they were falling apart a little bit, so try to give them that look, or actually beat up a pair of Chucks). With the blue suit, he wore maroon (again, not red!!!) Chuck Taylors (These were also kind of dirty and beaten up). However, in the episodes 'Fear Her', 'Love and Monsters', 'Rise of The Cybermen' and 'The Impossible Planet', he wore black converse with his brown suit.

A summary should present the events in the sequence that they happened. Avoid jumping around between different parts of the book. Begin at the beginning and end at the ending to maintain the integrity of the original story. Start by introducing the title and author of the book and then briefly describe what happened in the book. This should only take a few sentences. Think of it as your introduction. You could say something like: “J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone tells the story of a young, orphaned boy who discovers he’s a wizard. He learns that there is a whole Wizarding World full of good bad witches and wizards during his first year as a student at Hogwarts.” Use your notes to summarize how the book unfolds. Spend a few sentences explaining what happens in each section, how they build on each other, and why the section is important to the overall point of the book. This part of the summary might look like: “The first part of the book introduces the reader to what it’s like to be a wizard. The reader experiences how amazing this is with Harry himself, who’s new to this world as well. As the story goes on, it’s clear that something dark is happening at Hogwarts, and Harry needs his new friends, Ron and Hermione, to figure out what it is. The end of the book focuses on a series of tests and trials that Harry could not make it through without relying on friendship and his mother’s love.” Finish your summary by stating what you feel is the lesson of the book. Refer back to your notes to remind yourself what theme came up again and again. This statement should be the last sentence of the summary. For example: “Rowling used her story to show that even talented people need friendship and love to overcome evil.” The summary should be a neutral description of the book. Focus on the facts of the story. Don’t write about how the book makes you feel, or whether you agree or disagree with the author.

A sundial will only work correctly when it’s on a perfectly flat surface, like the ground, a stand, or a table. Place yours down in a safe spot where it won’t get knocked down or moved. This may seem obvious, but it’s crucial! If you want to be able to read your sundial from dawn to dusk, keep it out in an open, unshaded area where sunlight can reach it for as long as possible. You may notice that some sundials show only 12-hour measurements, since they won’t work for the hours that the sun is down. Use a compass or look for the North Star at night to find true north. Then, rotate the face of your sundial until the gnomon, or the pin of the sundial, is pointing straight north. The 12:00 noon notation is aligned with the gnomon, so it will be pointing north as well. If you live below the equator, you’ll need to point the gnomon of your sundial towards the south, rather than the north. You can use a compass or look for the Southern Cross constellation to find true south and adjust your sundial accordingly. To find the Southern Cross, look for 4 stars shaped like a small kite. The farther south you are, the higher it will be in the sky. The angle of the sun makes it very difficult to use a traditional horizontal sundial along the equator. Instead, use a vertical sundial and follow the packaging instructions to set it up and point the gnomon correctly. At the equator, the sun rises along the eastern horizon and moves straight up, then sets on the western horizon. If you used a horizontal sundial, the shadow would fall mostly west in the morning and mostly east in the afternoon, instead of rotating slowly.

A sunny kitchen window or another sunny place in your house is perfect for an aloe plant. Aloe also does fine in areas with indirect sunlight. Aloe in full shade will not thrive, so make sure there's a least a little sun in the room where you place the aloe.  You can move the plant outdoors in the summer months as long as there is no chance of frost. Aloe plants are made up of 95 percent water, and even a slight frost will freeze them and turn them to mush.  If you live in a warm growing zone and are planting your aloe outdoors, choose a place that gets indirect sun (six to eight hours per day). Aloe plants are pretty low-maintenance, since they don't require much water. Wait until the soil is dry at least two inches below the surface, then water slowly and deeply until you see water coming through the drainage holes. Do not water the aloe again until the soil is dry at least two inches below the surface once more. In most environments during April through October, you will need to water regularly. This equates to watering once every week, and twice per month in the winter.  If you've just repotted your aloe, wait two or three days before watering. This gives the roots time to adjust to the new soil before taking in water. When in doubt, water less, not more. When aloe is overwatered, the roots begin to rot, and the plant eventually dies. It's better to wait a few extra days if you're not sure whether it's time to water. If you truly love your aloe plant, consider using rainwater. When it rains, the aloe gets watered, and when it doesn't the aloe goes without. This replicates the aloe's natural environment. However, this will not work during times of drought. Remember that overwatering may lead to root rot and fungus, so it is very important to avoid this. From April through September, the aloe will grow vigorously. You can help it along if you'd like by providing some fertilizer twice a month during these months. Dilute a 15-30-15 fertilizer by mixing it with water, one part fertilizer to five parts water....

A support group can not only help you answer questions as you transition to a vegan diet. It also can serve as emotional support and encouragement. The teen years are ones where most people are sensitive to wanting to fit in with their peers. Teasing or negative reactions to going vegan can be really upsetting. It’s important to have a support group, especially if your friends and family aren’t vegan. Social media is convenient because it can provide support anywhere, anytime.  Join Facebook groups for vegan teens. Join regular Facebook vegan groups and seek out other vegan teenagers there. Follow vegan teenagers on YouTube and Instagram. Join the vegan subreddit on Reddit. See if vegan clubs at colleges and universities you attend (or plan on applying to) have social media sites you can follow or join. Interacting face to face with supportive people can make your vegan journey much better than going it alone. Your community may have vegan and almost-vegan teenagers and vegan adults who would be happy to provide you with support and encouragement. Some vegan teens who feel alone may be surprised to learn how many people similar to themselves are already in their community.  Start a vegan and vegetarian club at school. Many vegetarians care about animals and would appreciate additional tips and education about vegan options. See if a vegan Meetup.com group exists in your area. Contact Vegan Outreach's Vegan Mentor Program. Vegan Outreach encourages people of all ages to sign up either to be a mentor or get a mentor. However, if you are between the ages of 13 and 17, they require a short email from one of your parents giving permission and stating your name and age.   See if your local university or college has a vegan student group. (Even if you’re not already in college, some may welcome you to attend meetings.)

A surprise vacation can be more exciting, and you don't even have to go anywhere! For a quicker trip, book a local hotel room, and tell your spouse the night before to pack their bags and be ready to get picked up from work. Then, whisk them off to the hotel room for a romantic night alone. If you had a great time on your honeymoon, take a splurge trip and go back there. Try the activities you did on your honeymoon, but don't be afraid to look outside your comfort zone and try new things! If you love the outdoors, try an adventure trip where you can go hiking, zip lining, whitewater rafting, and scuba diving. Visit volcanoes, canyons, forests, or mountains for a great outdoors experience! If you have children or other close family members, take a celebratory vacation to a family- or group-friendly place! Go to large tourist attractions like Disney World or relax on a beach. Take a cruise for an easy vacation you don't have to work too hard to plan! If you've always wanted to drive a sleek Porsche or your spouse has always dreamed of racing down the highway in a red Corvette, rent a car and go for a spin! If you can, drive all night until you find a hotel or, if not, do a day trip! Choose a weekend to stay at home, just the two of you. If you have kids, ask a close friend or family member if the kids can stay at their house. Do the same for any pets or other responsibilities you two might have. Take your time alone at home to have romantic dinners and watch your favorite movies together, or order takeout and relax in the bath. Relax, unwind, and celebrate another year of marriage.

A tactic sometimes used by dealerships to your disadvantage is the holding of an important document or piece of identification under a pretense. Then, while you wait for "copies" of your license to be made, or for a secretary to finish "processing" your information, the salesperson will often push the sale on you. By photocopying your license front and back beforehand, you can show the salesperson the ID without giving it to him. Provide him your photocopies instead of your real ID. As long as the dealer allows this, a friend can be a great ally during your test drive. A friend might notice things that you didn't about the car you are driving, or may have specialized knowledge that can help you make the right decision.  Think about asking your friend to help you keep the salesperson occupied. Many times, salespeople will continue trying to sell the car while driving, making it difficult for you to focus on the test drive. Especially if you commute, drive the car in both stop-and-go traffic and at freeway speeds. Drivers who frequent the mountains should try to find some steep grades, listening closely to the engine while going up the slope.  Even though it might be against your instincts, try to drive over some bumps to see how the car absorbs the shock. Take tight corners at aggressive (but safe) speeds. In a real life emergency situation, you want to know how your breaks will hold up and how the car will respond. While at a safe location, such as an empty parking lot, accelerate and apply the brakes firmly.  Take note of how your brake pedal feels. Is it stiff? Are you comfortable with its range and placement? Do you notice that the brakes catch suddenly and are you comfortable having brakes that do so? And not just on the driver's side, either. By entering the passenger doors as well, you'll have more complete idea of the comfort of the car and other potential issues, like whether or not it's kid friendly. It's important to ask yourself if you will be able to live with this car for a number of years....

A tapeworm can cause a variety of different symptoms that mimic other medical conditions or it may cause no symptoms at all, so it can be hard to tell if you have a tapeworm by looking for symptoms. But being familiar with the most common symptoms may help you to determine if you need to see a doctor. Some of the common symptoms of tapeworm include:  abdominal pain nausea and/or vomiting diarrhea weight loss dizziness insomnia malnutrition jaundice (yellowish tinge to the skin and eyes) One way to tell if you have a tapeworm is to examine your stools for pieces of the worm. If you notice any particles that look like grains of white rice, then you may have a tapeworm infection. These small white segments contain eggs from the tapeworm. It is common to lose your appetite when you have a tapeworm, but some people experience an increase in appetite. This is more common in tapeworm that has been caused by eating undercooked beef or pork. Watch for any unusual changes in your appetite. Tapeworm caused by eating undercooked fish may lead to a vitamin B12 deficiency because the tapeworm may be sucking up all of your vitamin B12. This may cause you to become anemic because your body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. Symptoms of anemia caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency include:  pins and needles sensation in your hands and feet loss of sensation in your hands (no sense of touch) wobbly walk and trouble walking feeling clumsy and stiff dementia In some cases of tapeworm, the larvae may hatch and work their way through your intestinal wall and into other parts of your body. There are different symptoms associated with this type of tapeworm and they include:  frequent, painful coughing headaches seizures fever allergic reactions such as wheezing, sneezing, itching, a rash, and swelling

A tattoo design reflects a part of you and this part of you will be presented to the world every day. With this in mind, let your imagination go wild and think of a design that will be unique and will express to the world what you want it to. For example, this design could incorporate a symbol that has a special meaning to you, an animal that you have always loved, or it could use colors that signal an important period in your life.  Have a design in mind before you make an appointment with a tattoo artist. When thinking about a design, you should also consider its size. For your first tattoo, you may want to get a small tattoo. This will allow you to understand the pain, and how you react to it over time, without the commitment of several hours in the tattoo chair.  Think of a design that you will be happy with in the future. While you can have a tattoo removed, it is a very, very painful process that can be expensive and time consuming. Because of this, just think of them as permanent from the start and get a tattoo that you will be happy with in the future. You can either have your exact design planned out or you could rely on your tattoo artist to create a custom design for you. This is up to you. With your design in mind, find a tattoo artist that you want to work with. You can find one via word of mouth, for instance if your friend worked with a tattoo artist that they loved, or you can look online for tattoo artists in your area. Once you identify a tattoo artist, look at online reviews and look at their tattoo portfolio, either online or in their shop. If you like their style and their reputation, and you think that their style will translate well to your design idea, then book a consultation.  Most artists will draw out your tattoo design for you so that you can approve it at the beginning of your actual tattoo appointment. If there is anything about the design that you don't like, feel free to discuss it with the tattoo artist, to that they can make it exactly like you want it to be. Some tattoo...

A test can be used that measures blood progesterone levels, which rise when the dog is in heat. This is simply done via a sample drawn from the bitch and sent to the lab. Low levels indicate she is not cycling, medium levels show she is in heat, and high levels indicate she is pregnant. The alternative is a test used in research establishments. It measures the level of Luteinizing hormone (LH) in the bloodstream, which rises prior to ovulation. However, this is not commercially available as a test kit. It is quick and easy to do. The veterinarian rolls a clean cotton tip over the moist lining of the vulva and then rolls the cotton tip over a glass microscope slide. Once the smear is dry, it is stained and examined under the microscope. A dog in heat has a typical pattern of large, cornified cells plus red blood cells that are typical of being in heat. This along with physical signs is enough to decide if the dog is in heat. This means it's important to use your common sense when wondering if the dog is in heat. If you are in any doubt, then take her to see your veterinarian.   Is the dog due to be in heat? If yes, then heat is more likely than a health problem. Was she recently in heat? If yes, then another heat is unlikely and there may be a health problem. Is she in good spirits, eating and drinking normally, and normally active? If yes, heat is more likely. Is she not quite herself, is her appetite is reduced, is she more thirsty than usual, or does she keep vomiting? If yes, a health problem is likely and urgent veterinary attention sought. There is a health condition, pyometra, that affects older dogs which, to the untrained eye, could mimic being in heat. The overlapping symptoms include a swollen vulva, with or without a vaginal discharge. A pyometra refers to a womb infection. In severe cases the womb fills with pus and the dog becomes toxic when toxins from the bacteria are absorbed into the bloodstream.  If you have an older dog, who has recently been in heat (4 - 8 weeks before) and she develops a...

A thick, cozy turtleneck sweater and a pair of distressed jeans is the perfect way to stay warm on a cold weekend.  Straight leg or tapered jeans will elongate your silhouette more than baggy jeans will when you are wearing a bulky turtleneck. Cropped jeans and a pair of sneakers will make your turtleneck seem more athletic. A turtleneck is more casual than a button-down shirt, but it’s still perfectly appropriate for work. You can wear a turtleneck in a neutral or dark color, or go for a bright shade to bring a pop of color to your outfit.  Finish this look with a pair of sensible shoes, like loafers or ballet flats. To make your look even more professional, tuck in the turtleneck and wear a belt. A flared skirt with tight waist paired with a close-fitting turtleneck is a classic look that looks great on almost any figure. A pair of flats and a messy bun are the perfect complement to this simple style. You can go almost anywhere with this look, whether you’re getting a cup of coffee at a local cafe, visiting the library, or meeting someone for a lunch date. Canvas sneakers are the perfect shoes for this casual look. Just because the weather is cool doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your going-out style. A tight-fitting turtleneck with a miniskirt, tights, and ankle boots will show off your figure while still keeping you warm.  Choose a simple black turtleneck for a sleek, sexy look. For a more daring look, opt for a turtleneck in a bold print, like leopard or a bright floral.

A thicker poster will look more professional, but you can make a poster out of almost anything. You can use high-quality foam board from a craft store, poster board you found at the dollar store, or even printer paper that you’ve taped together if you don’t have anything else on hand.  If you’re making a poster to hang on the wall, poster board will work great. If you’re making a protest sign, choose a sturdier material like foam core, which is durable enough to last through a rally, but still light enough to allow you to fight injustice all day. For more complex presentations, like a book report, opt for a tri-fold poster board. Think about what you really want to say, as well as any important information you need to include. At the same time, brainstorm different stylistic elements that will support your main point, and use this to drive the design. For example, if you’re making a poster to let people know about an upcoming food drive, your list might include the date, location, and time of the drive, as well as ideas for graphics like cans of vegetables, a plate of food, or a fork and a spoon. Sometimes it can take a little while to get the layout of your design just right, so it’s better to practice on regular paper, then scale your design. Focus on emphasizing the most important information right away, and use color and negative space to create contrast.  Don’t crowd the page too much, since a cluttered poster won’t have as much visual impact. Try to space out your letters evenly. In design, this is known as kerning. If you bunch them all together, your poster will be harder to read. If you prefer, you can use a computer-based painting or drawing program to design your poster, even if you plan to eventually draw it by hand.

A thought can change a feeling. In order to feel better, pick a better thought. You may notice the high frequency of your negative thoughts, which will show you there is room for improvement. Focus on generating positive thoughts to replace the negative ones.  If you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts about yourself, tell yourself, "Stop!" Then replace the thought with something positive such as, "I am filling my mind with positive ideas that will change my beliefs. I am changing my life." For example, if you have the thought “There is no point in trying, because I know I will fail,” change it to something like, “Failure is an opportunity to learn. If I don’t get it right this time, I can always try again.” Be the first person to congratulate yourself on any job well done. Try to see your positive traits in the way others see you.  Question your self-perception. You may be harshly judging yourself, with no supporting evidence. Even if you think taking out the trash is not a big deal, give yourself an “at-a-boy” for getting the task completed. It doesn’t matter how big or small, you must honor yourself by recognizing the things you can do rather than focus on those things you believe you cannot. If you're struggling with severe apathy, it's unwise to dive straight into the deep end of new responsibilities and ambitions. Make small changes at first and gradually work toward more significant responsibilities. Each step you take forward is a step away from apathy. For example, if you feel like all you can do in a day is wake up and make it to the couch, it's probably not realistic to decide to run a marathon. Cut off your hair, or make a drastic change in your appearance. Getting a haircut can be a loud statement or a quiet rebellion against apathy. This can be extremely effective at giving yourself a small but significant change to jolt yourself out of your routine. If you’ve been sleeping a lot, then go to bed at a reasonable time and wake up 7-8 hours later. Several studies indicate that optimal sleep...

A three-way switch allows you to control one appliance from two or more locations. The switch may have either screw terminal connectors, which will be located along the side of the switch, or push-in connector holes, which will be located at the back of the switch. A three-way switch requires three wires: a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a traveler wire. The switch will also have a green or bare copper grounding wire. The box may contain one or two cables, or sets of wires.  Mark the wire connected to the colored screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the colored screw terminal (it will typically be a dark color and will not be green) as the “common” wire. Mark the two wires connected to the other two screw terminals as the “traveler” wires. Mark the green or copper wire connected to the green screw terminal (on the other side of the switch) as the “grounding” wire. If the wires are connected to screw terminals, turn each screw counter-clockwise with a screwdriver to loosen and slide the wire out with a pair of needle-nose pliers. If the wires are connected to push-in connectors, the holes that the wires are pushed into will typically have a small slot beneath the hole. Insert a small screwdriver into the slot and push forward to release the wire. Connect the black (common) wire to the common screw terminal, which you can identify because it will be a different color than the other two terminals (and not green). If the box contains two cables or sets of wires, you will attach the traveler wires (typically black and red) to the remaining two screw terminals. Either: A) Use needle-nose pliers to wrap a little more than half of the bare wire clockwise around the screw and then tighten the screw clockwise to secure the wire. Or B) push the wire into the push-in hole on the same side of the switch as the colored screw. If the box contains one cable or set of wires, you will attach the traveler wires (typically white and red) to the remaining two screw terminals. Either: A) Use needle-nose pliers to wrap...

A tic-tac-toe grid is two sets of parallel lines that intersect each other perpendicularly. The lines form three rows and three columns and looks like the pound key (#) on a phone or keyboard. Write your first number in the top-center square of the grid. Write your second number in the top-right square of the grid. For example, if you are trying to find the least common multiple of 18 and 30, write 18 in the top center of your grid, and 30 in the top right of your grid. Write this number in the top-left square of your grid. It is helpful to use prime factors, but you don’t necessarily have to. For example, since 18 and 30 are both even numbers, you know that that they both have a factor of 2. So write 2 in the top-left of the grid. Write the quotient in the square below either number. A quotient is the answer to a division problem.  For example, 18÷2=9{\displaystyle 18\div 2=9}, so write 9 under 18 in the grid.  30÷2=15{\displaystyle 30\div 2=15}, so write 15 under 30 in the grid. If there is no factor common to both quotients, you can skip this and the next step. If there is a common factor, write it in the middle-left square of the grid. For example, 9 and 15 both have a factor of 3, so you would write 3 in the middle-left of the grid. Write this new quotient below the first ones.  For example, 9÷3=3{\displaystyle 9\div 3=3}, so write 3 under 9 in the grid.  15÷3=5{\displaystyle 15\div 3=5}, so write 5 under 15 in the grid. Follow this same process until you reach a point where the last set of quotients have no common factor. You can think of it as drawing an “L” for “least common multiple.” Write a multiplication sentence using all of these factors. For example, since 2 and 3 are in the first column of the grid, and 3 and 5 are in the last row of the grid, you would write the sentence 2×3×3×5{\displaystyle 2\times 3\times 3\times 5}. When you multiply all of these factors together, the result is the least common multiple of your two original numbers. For example, 2×3×3×5=90{\displaystyle 2\times 3\times...

A tie pin not only makes a statement, but it also holds your tie away from spills. Place the pin about 2 in (5.1 cm) above the top button on your suit jacket. If you are wearing a sweater instead of a jacket, affix the pin to the center of the tie's knot. You can choose a pin that matches your tie or shirt, or pick a contrasting color or design. Use only one to showcase a special pin, or choose a collection of pins and add them all. Placing the pin or pins off-center creates an intriguing look. Open a jump ring and attach it to the pin back of your pin, then close the jump ring. Thread the ring on a length of ribbon or silk cord or on a fine chain. Cut 2 pieces of ribbon to a length 24 in (61 cm) longer than your waist or hips, depending on where you plan to attach the belt. Place the ribbons together and stitch all around the sides, as close to the edges as possible. Fold 1/4 inch (.6 cm) over at each end. Fold it again, the same amount, and stitch through the center of the fold. Fit the belt in place and use your pin to hold the ribbon together, allowing the ends to dangle. A pin can add flair to any backpack, purse, or clutch. You can showcase a special pin, or add a bunch for a fun and funky look. Drape your scarf around your neck and tie it loosely. Place your pin to the center of the knot. Alternately, do not tie the scarf, but pin the layers together to hold it in place. Putting a pin on a headband or hair tie dresses up your hairstyle. Try wearing the pin off to the side on your headband or bandana. Place a pin in the middle of your hair tie or scrunchie to add a little flair to your hair.

A time signature contains two numbers and is written as a fraction. The top number represents the number of beats in one measure of music. Common top numbers include: 2, 3, 4, and 6. For example, if the top number is “4”, then each measure consists of four beats. If the top number is “6”, then the measure consists of six beats. In a time signature, the bottom number represents the type of note that receives the beat. Each type of note is assigned a specific number.  “1”: Whole note (the whole note is worth one beat) “2”: Half note (the half note is worth one beat) “4”: Quarter note (the quarter note is worth one beat) “8”: Eighth note (the eighth note is worth one beat) ”16”: Sixteenth note (the sixteenth note is worth one beat) After you’ve viewed the top and bottom numbers independently, you can view the two numbers as a whole. Below are a view examples:  4/4: each bar has 4 beats and the quarter note is worth 1 beat. 3/4: each bar has 3 beats and the quarter note is worth 1 beat. 2/2: each bar has 2 beats and the half note is worth 1 beat. 6/8: each bar has 6 beats and the eighth note is worth 1 beat. Instead of numbers, sometimes the time signature is represented by a symbol. The letter “C” stands for common time and it is used to replace 4/4 time. The letter “C” with a vertical line down the center of it stands for cut time and is used to replace 2/2 time.

A toad needs a good amount of space to hop around when it's kept as a pet. Purchase a 15 US gal (57 L) tank from a pet store or online to keep your toad in. The tank should be at least 24 inches (61 cm) long, 12 inches (30 cm) tall and 12 inches (30 cm) wide to keep your toad happy.  Make sure you choose a tank with a mesh or screen lid that fastens tightly to prevent your toad from escaping. The lid will stop your toad from jumping out of the tank, and it should be mesh or screen to provide proper ventilation Toads are comfortable at room temperature and in ambient daylight, so you don't need to purchase any heaters or lamps for your toad. Keep the tank out of direct sunlight, because too much sun can hurt your toad. If you want to catch more than 1 toad to keep as a pet, you'll need a bigger tank. For every extra toad you want to keep in the tank, you'll need a tank that is 5 US gal (19 L) bigger. However, keeping more than 4 or 5 toads may require a very large tank or result in some of your toads breeding unexpectedly. A substrate is any dirt-like material you can place at the bottom of your toad's tank that will absorb its waste and give it something to burrow into. Purchase some eco earth, moss, or shredded leaves and pour 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) into the base of your tank.  You can also buy specialty substrate material at a pet store, which will make sure your toad is extra comfortable. Don't use anything too hard, like gravel or sand, as substrate. It could be harmful to your toad if it swallows it. To make it easier for your toad to dig into the substrate, moisten it with a spray bottle of non-chlorinated water every few days. While toads don't drink as much water as a lot of other common pets, they do need to spend a lot of the day soaking in water to stay hydrated. Keep a large dish or pool of non-chlorinated water in the tank that your toad can sit in. Make sure it's not taller than the height of your toad, or else it may drown.  Use dechlorination tablets to remove the chlorine from tap...

A toddler backpack should be small and lightweight. The bag shouldn’t rise above your child’s neck or go below their waist, and it shouldn’t have a frame or any other heavy materials. Thin straps can dig into your child’s shoulders, and they may refuse to use the backpack. Make sure the backpack has wide, padded straps to distribute the weight evenly and comfortably. The part of the backpack that touches your child’s back should also have some padding. Otherwise, sharp objects like pencils or eating utensils could poke your toddler in the back. A waist strap will help distribute the weight more evenly. It will also help ensure that your backpack stays on your toddler! Make sure you buy a backpack with adjustable straps. This will be more comfortable for your toddler. You’ll also be able to loosen the straps as your child grows, making the bag last much longer. Toddlers are messy people! Their backpacks should be made of a material you can easily clean. Many children’s backpacks are made of synthetic materials that you can wipe off daily, or you can buy a canvas or denim bag that can be put in the washing machine. Children’s items are legally required to be flame resistant in most areas, but check the label to be sure, especially if you’re buying a used bag. The preschool years are a time to learn to express individuality, so your toddler probably has some ideas about their backpack! Show them several options in your price range and let them pick the one they like the best. If you’re planning to buy an adjustable backpack they can use for more than a year, your child’s tastes and interests will probably change in that time. A solid color rather than a bag with cartoon characters on it is a better choice. Let your child try on the backpack in the store. Have them walk back and forth in the aisles a few times. Ask them if they like wearing it and if it is hurting them anywhere. It should be the right size and should not impede their movements.

A tonsillectomy is a relatively simple and effective procedure. It is relatively low-risk, and the recovery period is often short, with throat pain and minor bleeding being the most common concerns.  If your doctor is concerned about your medical history, age, or other factors, they may advise you to go another route. Keep in mind that a tonsillectomy would only be recommended for someone with recurrent or very stubborn or complicated tonsil stones. You can also ask your doctor about removing your tonsil stones. Your doctor may be able to remove them using special irrigation equipment. Different antibiotics, such as penicillin or erythromycin, may be used to treat tonsil stones, but they fail to reverse the underlying cause of tonsil stones, which is food being caught in the tonsils. There may be a relapse, and antibiotics may also have adverse side-effects.  Most antibiotics kill off beneficial bacteria in the mouth and gut which would help do battle against the problem bacteria. The tissue that deep tonsil pockets are made of can be removed via laser.  Laser resurfacing smoothes out the surface of the tonsils so that they no longer have pockets and craters. This procedure is not without risks of its own, however.

A toothache is one of the most common symptoms of an abscess. It often occurs as pus produced by bacteria that reached your pulp compresses the nerves in your teeth. You may notice a throbbing pain around the tooth or a shooting or gnawing pain in that area. Biting might be painful. Your tooth pain could cause sleeplessness.  The pain may be localized around the tooth, but it can also radiate to the ears, jaws, and cheeks. You may not be able to tell exactly where the pain is coming from. You might also feel irritated after spending a night in pain and struggling to sleep. The pain may be accompanied by a sense that your tooth is moving. The entire area around the tooth may look red and swollen. If you have a severe toothache that goes away, do not assume the abscess is gone. It is more likely that the abscess has killed the pulp and the infection remains. The pain may go for a while, especially if you have taken painkillers or an anti-inflammatory medication, but the infection will form an abscess again in no time. An abscess can make chewing painful. Abscesses also can make your teeth sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. If these symptoms last, seek treatment. A pericoronitis abscess is one that can be located near the lower wisdom teeth. This type of abscess can cause your masseter muscles to block (also known as trismus), making it almost impossible to open or close your mouth. As an infection grows, it can cause swelling and pain inside your mouth. Your gums may appear red and swollen and feel tender. This symptom is particularly prevalent with periodontal abscesses. Your gum also might swell over the impacted tooth. This could resemble a pimple. If your abscess has ruptured, you will be able to smell or taste the pus. The taste will be bitter but never swallow it. Rinse with chlorhexidine mouthwash or even salt water to get rid of the taste. See your doctor immediately.

A touch of eye shadow or a popping shade of lipstick keeps the focus on your face and off your body. Be sure to keep your eyebrows nicely arched and shaped and to cover up and under eye circles that could appear to drag your face down. However, you don't wear too much make-up. Just add a bit of color to one feature at a time—usually either your eyes or your lips—and keep the rest of your make-up looking natural. Ask your stylist about styles that can elongate your neck or face. In general, wide bob cuts may add too much width to your face, but many long, layered styles direct the eye up and down instead of side to side.  Considering pulling your hair up and away from your face. You could tease the crown of you head to give some volume, while tying your hair into a smooth ponytail. Think bright, sassy, long necklaces. Stick with jewelry and other accessories that create a vertical look, and avoid horizontal accessories like chokers that may make your neck or other features look thicker. Even though it creates a horizontal line across your body, a fashionable belt tied around your natural waist may emphasize the narrowness of your waist and create a flattering, slim silhouette. Stick with narrow belts rather than wider belts. This will encourage that your waist looks cinched, rather than bound.  For example, consider a thin, leopard printed belt with a black outfit.

A toy or a swing in the cage can help keep your canary entertained. However, canaries are less inclined to play with toys than many other types of birds. One toy should be sufficient. More can clutter up the cage and make it harder for your canary to fly around, which should be your top priority. In the wild, canaries like to roll around in damp grass. Putting damp dandelion leaves or grass at the bottom of the cage can serve as a fun distraction. Your canary should care for itself. You will only need to provide a shallow water dish filled with lukewarm water. Place the dish on the cage floor away from your canary's perch. Plastic planter dishes are ideal. Clean the bowl daily. Canary nails need to be clipped approximately twice per year to keep it healthy. However, there is a vein inside the nail that, if punctured, can cause severe and potentially fatal bleeding. Consult with your veterinarian about proper nail clipping technique. Canaries prefer to sleep in the dark. If there are any outside noises or lights in your house, cover the cage with a towel or blanket over night, to help it go to sleep. Canaries are hearty animals. Be aware of signs of illness, however, so that you can take your canary to the vet if anything is wrong. Be mindful if you canary lacks appetite or begins to lose weight rapidly.  Other signs of illness include droppings that are not black or white, wheezing, lethargy, molting out of season, and ruffled feathers. If your canary is fluffed up for long periods of time it might be too cold, and if it holds its wings away from its body and pants, it might be too warm. It will prefer temperatures from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

A traditional fast involves fasting from food, but you can also fast from media or different habits.  An absolute fast or water fast requires you to abstain from all solids and liquids aside from water. A liquid fast requires you to abstain from all solid food, but you can still drink any liquid you want. A partial fast requires you to abstain from certain foods or from all foods during a portion of the day. This fast is especially common for Catholics during Lent. A traditional Lenten fast is a partial fast. You should abstain from meat on Fridays and Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, you should limit yourself to one full meal and two smaller meals that should not be large enough to equal the size of another standard meal. All drinks are acceptable. A bread and water fast permits you to consume bread and water, but nothing more. A media fast requires you to abstain from media. This can include all media, or it can include a certain form of media, such as television or the Internet. A habit fast requires you to abstain from a certain type of behavior. This could be anything from raising your voice to playing cards. This is another fast commonly practiced during Lent. You can fast anywhere from one day to several weeks. Settle on a length of time that is both healthy and spiritually challenging.  If you have never fasted before, it is recommended that you fast for no longer than 24 to 36 hours. Do not fast from fluids for more than three days. Consider easing yourself into an extended absolute fast. Begin by fasting from one meal for several days. After your body has adjusted, fast from the next meal, and finally, fast from all meals. In your prayers, ask God for guidance on what the objective of your fast should be. This objective will provide your prayers with focus and direction as you fast.  Spiritual renewal is a common reason for fasting, but you can also fast if you desire guidance, patience, or healing. You can also fast for a specific cause that extends beyond your personal spiritual...

A trained professional will be available to help you make an informed selection. Florists also deliver flowers. It's more of an occasion to receive a delivery of flowers, especially in a public setting such as her office. She will enjoy the excitement the flower delivery gives her co-workers as well as seeing and smelling the flowers themselves. Hospital or hotel gift shops also provide flowers. These places are convenient, but the quality of the flowers may be compromised. Many times the flowers are past their prime and will not last as long. Some supermarkets have an excellent quality of flowers due to the fact that they have an ongoing deal with a supplier. The flowers you buy will be less expensive than those from a florist's shop. You will have to deliver them yourself, of course. Many florists have websites where you can order your flowers from the convenience of home. Most have a wide variety of choices for any occasion. Be aware, however, that substitutions are sometimes made while filling the order and the end result may not match the picture. Be sure the business is reputable before you place an order.

A trained, licensed acupuncturist might be able to reduce your forehead wrinkles by toning the muscles in your face.  You'll usually need between 10 to 12 treatments, which will be administered twice a week for five to six weeks. The acupuncturist will insert fine needles into strategic points along the body and face. These needles stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, your skin naturally plumps up and the circulation to your face improves, which should cause your forehead wrinkles to visibly soften. Botox and other neurotoxins block the nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions in your forehead. As a result, the wrinkles you currently have look less noticeable and won't get any deeper.  Ask for the lowest amount of product they can give and still soften your wrinkles. In the beginning, you may only need 9-15 units to treat your forehead. Aside from Botox, other common neurotoxins include Xeomin and Dysport. Neurotoxin treatments eventually wear off, so you will need another round of injections roughly every 3-4 months if you like the results enough to keep them. During this treatment, the doctor or technician will direct energy from a laser or pulsed diode light directly to your forehead. The procedure can last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. The intense light will remove the top layer of skin, creating a mild wound that usually won't be visible to the naked eye. In response, your skin should activate its natural production of collagen and produce new smooth, wrinkle-free skin. The most common chemical treatments used to treat forehead wrinkles include chemical peels and dermabrasion.  During a chemical peel, the doctor will use different chemicals to burn the top layer of skin. Your body should respond to the damage by producing more collagen and, effectively, more smooth skin. During dermabrasion, the doctor will use a mild chemical crystal and a vacuum device to chip away the top layer of skin. This draws evenly textured skin to the surface and should cause light...

A trifle doesn't need to be cooked and requires little hard-core cooking skill to put together. It can be made well in advance and is particularly adaptable if you feel like new flavors. When considering your trifle, know that you have some options:   Fruit: As long as it is bite-sized, anything goes. In general, softer, sweeter fruits that pack a lot of juice do best.  Custard: Pick a custard or pudding flavor that matches your fruit, or use a vanilla-flavored custard that will go with just about anything.  Jelly or jam: Again, pick something to complement your fruits, but know that jelly isn't the only option. Adventurous cooks might use some honey, or even a chocolate spread like Nutella. Before you begin chopping, remove any seeds or stems. You can use strawberries, raspberries, and/or blueberries, for the classic recipe. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, then lightly mash the fruit. Try out a three-berry jam or raspberry if you're following the "classic" recipe, but remember that this dish is meant for experimentation. Slather the tops of the cake or ladyfingers with a generous helping of jam. Be sure to evenly coat the cakes with the fruit so the juice soaks into the cake. Don't worry if some of it drips through or clumps, you just want enough of it so that all the fruit is covered. If you want to impress some party guests, take a look at the side of the bowl and work on getting nice, even, visible layers between the cake, fruit, and custard. This optional, and is best if you're using a flavored custard. Still, the difference in textures between a thick, silky custard and light, airy whipped cream is a wonderful surprise, so feel free to use a little of the whipped stuff no matter your recipe. The order of the layers is cake, fruit, custard, then cream. Depending on the size of your trifle dish (or plain glass bowl), you may need to ration out your supplies to make sure you have enough for even layers. A little unevenness is somewhat inevitable, so don't worry about it too much.

A true caipirinha is always made with cachaça, but in Brazil, you’ll find a variety of other takes on the national drink employing different alcohols. If you don’t have any cachaça on hand, try one of these:  Substitute vodka to make a caipiroska. Caipiroskas mix very well with different fruit pulps. Substitute white rum for a caipirissima. Rum is a sugar based alcohol like cachaça (from molasses, rather than sugarcane juice) and produces a similar, though less earthy flavor. Because of its simpler flavor profile, rum mixes slightly better with fruit than cachaça. Substitute sake for a caipisake. These are best made following the traditional recipe, as sake loses its particular flavors and aromas when mixed with fruit. Pretty much any fruit will work in a caipirinha. Pick ones that you like or that are in season. Here are some popular fruits, with tips on how to add them:  Tangerine – Substitute ½ a tangerine for the lime to make a caipirinha de tangerina.  Strawberry – Substitute 4-5 quartered strawberries for the lime.  Passion fruit – Substitute for lime. Take 1 small passion fruit or ½ a large one, cut it in half crosswise and scrape the pulp in a glass.  Pomegranate – Add 4 teaspoons of pomegranate seeds to a caipirinha made with 2 slices of lime. Muddle the seeds with the lime and sugar.  Watermelon – Puree a cup of watermelon (seeds removed) in a food processor, and add it to a traditional caipirinha along with the cachaça.  Grapes – Muddle 7 seedless grapes along with 2 lime slices and the sugar.  Kiwi – Add one peeled and chopped kiwi to a caipirinha made with ½ a lime. Muddle the kiwi with the lime and sugar.  Pineapple – Add 2 tablespoons of crushed pineapple along with the cachaça in a traditional caipirinha.  Raspberries – Muddle 6 raspberries along with the lime and sugar.  Kumquats – Muddle 5 kumquats along with the lime and sugar.  Guava – To make the popular caipirinha de goiaba, mix 100ml of guava juice and 2 teaspoons of condensed milk, then add the cachaça and ice. No extra sugar; the...

A true friendship is one where you’ll connect over meaningful things, not just because you’re on the same team or prefer the same brand of clothing. It doesn’t matter what other people think of your friendship, it only matters how you feel in the friendship. A friend that might be more superficial or focused on appearances will:  Criticize you. Be dramatic or negative toward you. Disrespect your needs and opinions. Take advantage of you. Manipulate or control you to do what they want. Don't be afraid to stick up for what you believe in, even if your friends disagree. A real friend will respect your opinion, let you express your beliefs, and let you make your own decisions. Be wary of friends who criticize you, bully you, or don’t listen to you. You can speak up for yourself while still avoiding blaming your friend. You can say, “I feel__when you do/say___. I need you to___. Can you do that?” For example, “I feel frustrated when you make fun of the music I like. I understand that you like different music than me, but I need you to stop. Can you do that?” You may enjoy having some friendships that aren’t as deep or close as others. Establish clear rules and limits for yourself with all of your friends, whether real or superficial. Let your friends know your comfort level on how you spend time with each other. Some good boundaries to set with fake friends include:  Avoid online communication and gossiping. Set online privacy settings to make their access to your information limited. Avoid frequent text messaging. Spend time in groups rather than one-on-one. Turn down invitations or say “no” when you need to. Rejection is a normal part of friendships and may be hurtful, but you don’t have to take it personally. A friend who rejects you may be doing so for any number of reasons. Focus instead on finding and keeping better friends who won’t reject you for who you are.

A true migraine headache is not caused by a tumor or other structural change in your brain. However, only your medical physician can determine if your headache is the result of a migraine or something else. Seek emergency medical care if you:  Are confused or have trouble understanding what is being said to you Feel faint Have a fever greater than 102°F (38.9°C) Have numbness, weakness or paralysis Have a stiff neck Have trouble seeing, speaking, or walking Loss of consciousness For some people, migraines are a common occurrence and may even be severe. You should see your doctor if your headaches:  Occur more frequently than they had before Are more severe than usual for you Don’t get better with over-the-counter medications or medications your physician has prescribed Prevent you from working, sleeping, or socializing Record your meals, menstrual period (women), exposure to chemicals [room fresheners, cleaning chemicals at home or work], caffeine intake, sleep patterns, and weather changes. Use the diary to help you and your doctor to determine what causes your migraines. After you identify your triggers, try to avoid them as much as possible. Some common triggers include:  Stress Hormonal fluctuations (during a woman’s menstrual cycle) Skipping meals Too much caffeine Certain foods, such as cheese, pizza, chocolate, ice cream, fried foods, lunch meats, hot dogs, yogurt, aspartame, and anything with MSG Alcohol, especially red wine Sudden changes in sleep patterns Smoking Barometric weather changes Caffeine withdrawal Heavy workouts Loud noises and bright lights Odors or perfumes

A trusted professor or adviser will be able to help you clarify your reasons for leaving and offer prudent advice about what to do next. Even if you’re not interested in hearing what they have to say, letting your instructors know that you’ll no longer be participating in their class is common courtesy.  Meet with your professors in person to explain your circumstances instead of sending them a cursory email or leaving them to guess what happened to you.  Feeling like your classes are too hard is not a strong enough reason to justify dropping out—realizing that you don’t need a formal education to do what you love is. Meet with an academic adviser from your school to talk about what will happen once you discontinue your education. Keep in mind that by dropping out, you might be forced to forfeit scholarships, grants or other benefits that you’ve managed to secure. It could also strain your relationship with your family if they don’t agree with your decision.  Some schools don’t allow students who have dropped out to re-enroll, which could limit your opportunities should you make up your mind to go back later on. Repaying student loans after dropping out will leave you stuck with the financial burden of going to college and none of the advantages. If the term is already underway and you’ve missed the deadline to drop classes, it's good idea to just see it through. That way, you won’t have to worry about ruining your GPA. When the following semester rolls around, you can tie up a few administrative loose ends and make a clean break.  Completing a semester will leave you with a documented final grade and not a more ambiguous “W” or “I.” The more classes you have under your belt, the more experience you’ll be able to show employers. As part of the withdrawal process, you’ll have to fill out a few forms and provide a reason for leaving. You may also be asked to meet with your academic adviser for exit counseling, which typically involves reviewing important school policies and discussing the options you have open...

A tsunami comes in waves. There may be many, many waves lasting for hours and the next wave may be even larger than the last. Listen to the radio for updates on what is happening. Do not trust word of mouth. It is better to wait than to return too early and be caught by more incoming waves. " Only then you should return to your home. Find out in advance how local authorities propose to announce such a notice. Remember that roads may be extremely damaged by the tsunami waves and you may have to take alternative routes. A good pre-planned emergency plan should account for this possibility and provide alternative routes and gathering places. Once the tsunami has subsided, there will be debris, destroyed buildings and broken infrastructure. There may also be dead bodies. Fresh water supplies will be destroyed or disrupted. Food supplies will most likely be unavailable. The potential for disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, starvation, and injuries will make the post-tsunami period nearly as perilous as the tsunami itself. An emergency plan should also consider the aftermath and what you'll need to do to protect yourself, your family and your community. If your local authorities have not put action plans into place, suggest that they do so or form a community action group to consider a post-tsunami plan. Things that can help survival post tsunami include:  Establishing an advance stash of fresh water. Whether bottled water or filtered water, an emergency water supply should be in place in your community. Opening up undamaged homes and buildings to others. Help those in distress and provide them with shelter.  Ensuring that there are power generators to enable cooking, maintenance of hygiene and return of basic health and transportation services. Running emergency shelters and food distribution. Getting health care into action immediately. Quelling fires and gas ruptures.

A turkey is an item that's worth splurging on if you can. Turkeys that have been frozen for a long time, have been sitting out in the display for a while, or have been treated with preservatives won't taste as good or cook as well as fresh, untreated turkeys. Keep these pointers in mind when you're picking one out:  Try to get a fresh turkey from a butcher rather than from the meat display at the grocery store. Butcher shops tend to have meat that is fresher. Free-range or pasture-raised turkeys are more expensive than coop-raised turkeys, but they tend to have a more robust flavor. Self-basted turkeys have added seasonings and water, making them extra moist and salty. You might consider the moisture a plus, but these birds will have less of a natural turkey flavor than untreated turkeys. Kosher turkeys also have added salt, which can affect the flavor. Before you buy a turkey, consider how many people you're feeding. As a rule of thumb, aim to get about 1 pound (0.45 kg) of bird per person, or a little more. So, for example, a small 12–14 lb (5.4–6.4 kg) turkey will feed up to 14 people, a medium 15–17 lb (6.8–7.7 kg) turkey will feed up to 17, and a large 18–21 pounds (8.2–9.5 kg) turkey can feed up to 21. If you want plenty of leftovers, get a larger bird than you need to serve everyone. if necessary. If you happen to choose a frozen turkey for your meal, it's very important to take it out of the freezer ahead of time to allow the turkey to fully defrost and thaw prior to cooking. The safest thawing method is to put the turkey on the bottom shelf of your fridge in its original wrapping. Give it 24 hours of thawing time for every 4–5 pounds (1.8–2.3 kg) of weight.  For a faster thaw, put the wrapped turkey in a sink full of cold water. This method takes approximately 30 minutes per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of bird. For safety reasons, you’ll need to change the water every 30 minutes and cook the turkey as soon as it’s done thawing. If you’re really pressed for time, try defrosting your unwrapped turkey in a deep...

A value is a principle, standard, or quality considered worthwhile or desired. Values guide our actions and structure our lives.  Areas where we often have strong values include housework, meal times, child care, car and house maintenance, relationships between spouses and parents and children, education, money, politics, religion, etc. Specifying your values is key to managing work and family demands. They tell you what is important in your life and what matters to you. All too frequently, we don't acknowledge or question our values until a problem arises. Most of us have some general sense of our values, but this is often vague. Many of our values remain unconscious. These values - the ones we hold but are not entirely aware of - often contribute to feelings of stress; this stress can be understood and managed once we become more in tune with our values. For example, what if you believe that one should be at work early and you also believe that the kitchen should always be clean before one leaves the house? How do you rectify these competing values? Such conflicts are stressful and can leave you feeling drained and unsatisfied until you examine these values and reflect on how they interact. Modifying or prioritizing our values can be one way of easing role strain and conflicts between values. For example, do you value being at work early more or less than leaving the house clean? Decide which is more important to you and go from there.

You can customize your own photos, add text, and size them appropriate for jewel cases, or your own slip-cases. Any of the following are perfect for designing CDs:  Adobe Illustrator CD Label Designer CD & DVD Label Maker CD Cover Creator CNET Print Master Gold In some programs, you'll be able to select this when you open the program, but if you're using a multi-purpose software, like Illustrator, you'll have to define the size of the project. CDs are 4.724 inches square (120mm x 120 mm), so use the box tool or set your parameters accordingly.  It might be appropriate to change the background color to something like dark gray, or whatever you'd like the base color scheme of the CD to be, to make the changes more obvious. If you want to create the back cover for a jewel case, as well, the dimensions are 5.906 in. x 4.646 in. (150 mm x 118 mm), to make space for the folding line. To create the back cover, follow the same steps as follow. This tutorial will assume you're using an Illustrator-like program, but you should defer to the specific design software you're using.
