Several of the most important acupressure treatment points for relieving menstrual cramps are located in your abdominal area. Locate your “sea of energy” by measuring 2 fingers-width below your navel. Apply light pressure to this area with your fingers, breathing deeply, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stimulating this area can also help to relieve digestive disorders such as gas, irritable bowel syndrome, and constipation. This Shiatsu point is located 4 fingers-width below your navel, in the same line as the “sea of energy” point. Breath in deeply as you apply light pressure to this area with your fingers. Stimulating this point can help relieve your PMS symptoms. Use your fingers to activate this point. You could use your thumb or your pointer finger, or you could place your pointer finger over your second finger for more strength and stability. If you are looking for more intense pressure, use your fist. This is a pair of points located on your pelvic area at the center of the crease where your legs join the trunk of your body. Use your palms to stimulate these 2 points with a light pressure. This can help to sooth any abdominal cramps and discomfort. Place pressure on these 2 points with your fingers or palms for 1 minute, release, and then repeat the pressure 2 more times. For more intense pressure, use your fist over the point and wrap your palm over your fist to apply more weight. This acupressure point can be found on your pelvic area, exactly below the points of the “mansion cottage”. Use your fingers to apply light pressure as you breathe deeply in and out.

Several types of powder can be used to stop your orthotics from squeaking. Some good options include foot powder, talcum powder, and baby powder. Just look around your house and see if you have any of the above to choose from. Simply take the orthotic insert out from the inside of your shoe. Take a slightly damp washcloth and wipe off both your insert and the inside of your shoe. Take your powder of choice and sprinkle it generously inside your shoe. You will need to use more than you may think. Massage the foot powder around in your shoe. Focus on the area where the hard plastic of your orthotic contacts with the nylon or leather of your shoe. This area creates friction and is the most likely to make noise. Place the orthotic insert back into your shoe. Be sure that it is positioned correctly. Then, put your shoe on and take a few minutes to walk around on it. Hopefully the squeaking has ceased!

Several weeks before attempting to move your baby into their crib, introduce set cues and habits that will let your baby know when bedtime has come.  A set routine will help your baby know that it's bedtime, regardless of where they are sleeping. You can vary the routine as desired, making it as short or long as you need in order to help baby wind down. The elements you introduce into your routine should all be of a calming nature, however. Beginning the process before moving your baby to their crib will help your baby to associate the new routine with bedtime. As a result, your baby will still know that it's time for sleep even when one aspect of the routine—sleeping in your room—ceases. Be consistent. The only way to establish certain actions as a routine is to do them every night. If you skip some nights, you might give your baby mixed signals. Even if you have no pre-set cues that tell your baby when it's time to go to sleep, there might be signs and signals you unknowingly give to your baby that indicate the arrival of bedtime. Analyze your bedtime habits and determine if there are any habits you have established for your child. If there are, continue these habits as much as possible. Try giving your baby 2 or 3 ounces (60 or 90 ml) of formula or breast milk before going to bed. For babies over six months of age, you could also try giving them 1 or 2 tablespoons (15 or 30 ml) of cereal before bed. Stuffing your baby with too much food will only cause discomfort, but giving them a little before bed may help your baby feel more comfortable and last a little longer into the night before waking up.    A short, warm bath can help soothe your baby, easing them into sleep.  Note, however, that some babies will feel invigorated when given a bath. If yours falls under this category, then you should do the bath earlier in the day rather than making it part of your bedtime routine. Follow the bath by wrapping your baby in a warm towel or blanket. Holding your child close will also add an extra level of warmth and...

Severe bites will have one or more deep puncture wounds from the dog’s teeth that may or may not have severe tearing of the tissue that followed the puncture(s). Due to the crushing power of the jaw of certain dog breeds, you may also have signs of bone, ligament, or joint damage, such as painful movements or the inability to move the area around the bite. Additional signs that the bite will require medical attention rather than home care include:  If the bite is deep enough to see fat, muscle, or bone If the bite has jagged edges or ones that are far apart If blood is spurting from the bite or the bleeding cannot be stopped within fifteen minutes of applying pressure If the wound is larger than one or two centimeters If the bite is on the head or neck Before heading to the doctor, use a clean towel to apply pressure to the bite to slow the bleeding as much as possible. Keep the bite covered with pressure applied until you see a doctor. Medical professionals will determine the best course of action for a severe bite, including how to stop the bleeding and whether or not the bite requires sutures. The doctor will irrigate the wound to thorough clean it (with a surgical disinfectant such as iodine) and perform any necessary debridement of the bite site, which is the removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue that can interfere with the healing of the healthy surrounding tissue.  The doctor will also look into your shot record to determine if a tetanus booster is necessary. If the doctor suspects bone damage based on your bite, you will likely be x-rayed to determine the proper treatment as well.  Tell your doctor at this time whether or not you know if the dog that bit you has received a rabies vaccination. If a doctor believes you are at risk for rabies, she will treat you with a course of multiple rabies shots. If you’ve come in with signs of infection or the doctor determines that you’re at a high risk of infection for the bite, he will likely prescribe a course of antibiotics. The most commonly used...

Sew a rounded edge across the corners to connect the two layers and make the edges stick out like ears. To make them stick out a bit close your fingers at the base of the ears and pull them lightly before and after stitching. You can also do a gather stitch at the base of the ears to help them to stick out more. To knit a gather stitch you would knit a decrease across the length of the ear with a smaller needle size than you have been using. Do a gather stitch around the neck where you placed the marker for the neck. Again, you would knit a decrease at this location to bring the neck in and differentiate the head and body.

Sew the bedsheet and lining fabric together along the bottom edge of the skirt (the wider part of the semicircle) with the bed sheet fabric facing inward. Remove the pins and flip the skirt inside out. Unpin the bottom 2 pins from the zipper so you can match the edges of the skirt to the edges of the shirt. Sometimes there will be some excess skirt material, so simply cut the excess fabric off of the skirt. Make sure the pleats are small so they don't make the flow of the skirt look boxy.  Make sure the pleats are evenly spaced around the skirt. User your vinyl tape measure to double-check. Grasp the fabric and fold it over to the right as though you were starting to make a fan. Pin the folded section of fabric down so that it will stay in position. Iron the pleat to make it precise. Sew the pleats using downward stitches. Stop at the point where you want the skirt to twirl freely. Make sure that the dress is folded inside-out to make your seam less visible. Sew the back seam of the skirt up to 1/4" (6 mm) above where the end of the zipper would fall.  Pin the zipper's final few inches down the back of the skirt, and sew it into place.

Sex might also release oxytocin, and an orgasm might stimulate the uterus. Unless your doctor has explicitly advised against it, you can try having sex to encourage later. When labor begins, it might cause your water to break. Remember that there is no hard evidence that indicates the effectiveness of sex. Another option is to engage in some light physical activity. The theory behind this is that it might also release oxytocin. Try taking a brief, gentle stroll. You don't want to overdo it. You'll need your energy for labor. You should talk to your doctor about how frequently you should walk, and for how long. Although there is no scientific evidence to support this, many women report that spicy food helps bring on labor. Be aware, though, that many experts believe that spicy foods release capsaicin, which counteract natural endorphins. This might make labor more painful. If you still want to try something spicy, eat hot peppers or your favorite spicy dish in moderation.

Shake a can of nonstick cooking spray. Apply a light coating to your ice trays, taking care to get into nooks and crannies. A little bit goes a long way, so you won't need to use much cooking spray for this. You can also grease a shallow cooking tray and use that instead of ice cube trays. Later you will simply have to use a greased knife to cut the mixture into shot-sized pieces. Transfer your gelatin mixture to a container with a spout, like a glass or plastic measuring cup. Fill each compartment of your ice trays to the brim with the gelatin mixture. This recipe makes 16 shots, so use ice trays with enough compartments to accommodate. Place the shots in an area of your fridge where they won't be disturbed. Keep them there overnight so the gelatin can set. Cover a butter knife with a baking spray. Run it along the sides of each compartment of your ice cube tray and then gently pry out the shots using your knife. You could also dust the shots with a touch of cocoa powder or a sweep spice just before you serve them.

Continue to sprinkle the baking soda until you've covered all the dirt. Soak the entire track in the vinegar solution. Let the solution fizz for 5-10 minutes. This will help pull up stubborn dirt and grime. Use a wire brush or toothbrush to remove the grime that may have built up on the tracks. Start on one side of the tracks and work your way to the other side. The solution should have loosened up the dirt, making it easier to clean. Use the rag to lift up excess dirt and grime. Spray the tracks with more of the vinegar solution if they are still dirty. Continue to scrub the tracks from one side to the other until all of the dirt is removed. Slide the door open and apply baking soda to the area that you didn't cover. Repeat the process and clean the area down with the vinegar and water solution.

Shake the thermometer well if you are using one that contains mercury. A digital thermometer may also be used and typically gives a faster result. It is recommended that you use a disposable sleeve with a digital thermometer. KY Jelly or Vaseline works well. Your goal is to make this process as stress-free for the cat as possible. Using lubrication helps decrease the risk of abrasion, ripping, and puncturing. Hold the cat under one arm like a football, with its tail towards the front of your body. Make sure its feet are on a solid surface like a table. Doing so will reduce the likelihood of scratches.  It may be a good idea to have a friend help you hold the cat if possible. Some cats are wiggly and may be difficult to keep still. Have your helper position the cat in a way so that you can insert the thermometer in its rectum easily. You might also grab and hold onto your cat’s scruff (extra skin on the back of its neck). Since many cats associate this with their mother’s protection, it may have a calming effect. Be sure to only insert the thermometer approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm). Do not go more than 2 inches deep. Hold the thermometer at a 90 degree angle so it goes straight into your cat’s rectum. Do not enter at any other angle as this will increase the likelihood of pain and discomfort. A mercury thermometer may take a little longer to get an accurate reading. If you are using a digital thermometer, hold it until it indicates that it has finished reading the temperature. Most digital thermometers will beep when finished. Hold your cat firmly during this process. It may squirm, scratch, or bite. Do your best to keep it still to avoid injury to your cat and yourself. A temperature of 101.4 degrees F (38.55 degrees C) is ideal for a cat, but a cat's temperature may also range from 100 to 102.5 degrees F (39.17 degrees C) and still be considered normal.   If your cat's temperature is below 99 degrees F (37.22 degrees C) or above 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) you should seek immediate medical attention. If...

Shake yourself out of a serious demeanor by asking questions that will help you get your priorities straight. When you feel intense seriousness start to bubble up inside, ask yourself the following questions:  Is this worth getting upset over? Is this worth possibly upsetting others? Is this really so important? Is this so bad to begin with? Is the situation really beyond repair? Is this your problem at all? A serious mentality can make it more difficult to see when things are meant to be taken lightly or in jest. You might jump to conclusions about what someone meant or did. For example, if someone points out to you that you have a small stain on your shirt, you might take them to be making a statement about your inability to look presentable. Just like that, a helpful comment is turned into an offense. Try searching for alternative meanings beyond your knee jerk response to take people's remarks as having very serious implications. Consider that most people do not have an agenda--they are not trying to send you hints that go beyond what they are actually saying. Being able to find the humor in life is just as important as being able to see the more practical, close-ended way of viewing things. When you are tempted to think "I'm too mature for this" or "Does anyone really find this amusing?", try to find the part of yourself that can enjoy it--even if it means taking a walk in someone else's shoes. After all, research shows that the two most desirable qualities for leaders to have are a good work ethic and a good sense of humor. Test out the idea that you can be dedicated and hardworking without being serious all the time. Work hard, play hard--right? Because you never know where life is going to take you or why, ruined plans and unfinished goals might mean that something entirely different and unexpected is in store. We all know the old saying that life is about the journey, not the destination. So, rest easy and relax the reins since it is often the unplanned and uncertain that delivers most of the treats...

Shakira always seems to have flawless skin, and she's shared beauty tips that have helped her keep her skin hydrated and clean. Before bed, remove any makeup on your skin so that your pores do not get clogged overnight. Then, apply a vitamin C serum daily before applying your makeup, and Vitamin E when your skin gets especially dry. Shakira also stresses the importance of wearing sunscreen to keep your skin healthy.  Shakira gets her vitamin E from capsules she buys at the pharmacy and squeezes them onto her skin. Shakira is a proponent of natural products, and tries to buy beauty products that have as few chemicals in them as possible. Her favorite sunscreen is BabyGanic Sunscreen Spray. Differing from many stars, Shakira actually claims to do most of her own makeup herself. To get the same look that Shakira has, focus on keeping it simple. Start by applying a foundation and then move onto makeup that accentuates your features without going overboard. Shakira prefers Tarte foundation because it is oil-free and waterproof, and then uses Origins Pinch Your Cheeks to add a soft pink glow to her cheeks. After Shakira has applied a layer of foundation to cover up any blemishes, she applies blush to her cheeks, but not too much. Consider using a cream blush and brush it along the apple of your cheeks. Use a shade that is only slightly pinker than your skin tone. You want your blush to look natural, as if you weren't wearing any and your cheeks just have a rosy glow. If you aren't sure what color of blush to wear, pinch your cheeks. Then, strive for the color that you see on your cheeks. Use an eyeshadow that is a shade slightly darker than your skin tone. Gently swipe the eyeshadow on your eyelid, to lift your eyes a little. Then apply a mascara that is similar to your eyelash color (if you have brown eyelashes use a dark-brown mascara or a brown-black). Sometimes Shakira will just use an eyelash curler and skip the mascara. If you can get away without using eyeshadow, try it. Sometimes natural beauty is the best,...

Shakira gets much of her exercise from the dancing that she does on tour, so to look like Shakira, sign up for some dance lessons. Shakira combines different dance styles like the Samba and other Spanish-influenced dance forms, hip hop, and belly dancing. Watch some of Shakira's videos and take lessons in these types of dance so that you can mimic her dance style. Even after Shakira had her baby, her body was in shape. To look like Shakira, you'll want to exercise and go for a similar body type. While Shakira is curvy, she has toned hips and thighs and a flat stomach, which give her an hour glass shape. Along with exercises to target specific muscle groups you can do these routines to improve your health and body shape:  Zumba: Shakira claims that she did Zumba throughout her pregnancy and after her pregnancy she did it four to five times a week. Take a Zumba class at your local gym -- it's a great form of exercise! Eat eight small meals a day: Instead of having three large meals throughout the day, Shakira eats eight small meals packed with fiber, calcium, iron, and protein. This helped to keep her metabolism boosted. To get Shakira's toned stomach, do 15 to 20 minutes of ab exercises at least three times a week. Some effective ab exercises to achieve that hourglass shape and flat tummy are:  Leg lifts: Lie on your back and extend your legs out in front of you. Then, keeping your legs straight, lift them into the air, targeting your lower abs. Lower legs back to the floor, but don't let them touch the ground. You'll want to keep your back flat while doing this (don't use your back strength because it can hurt your back), so if you need extra help, place both your hands underneath your tailbone. Waist whittlers: Get in plank position, with your elbows on the ground and your hands together. Then, twist your waist so that one side hits the ground below you, and then twist to the other side. Make sure your back is flat and that you aren't arching your butt down or up. Russian twists: Sit on your butt with your...

Shakira has honey-blonde hair with sun-kissed highlights. To achieve this similar look, bleach your hair, but not a platinum blonde, and add some highlights and low lights to your hair. If your hair is already blonde, then just add some low lights to achieve the different dimensions of Shakira's hair. Some of her lowlights have a reddish tent, so consider doing a mixture of dark blonde and strawberry blond low lights.  Shakira does a really good job of making her hair look natural -- it doesn't seem obvious that she's naturally a brunette. When bleaching or coloring your hair, strive for a shade of blonde that looks natural with your skin tone and eyebrow color. Even if you can't get Shakira's exact color, it's better to follow her in the sense that her hair doesn't look unnatural. Shakira has had several different hair styles and hair colors, so you may be looking for one of her darker, shorter cuts. Shakira has been a brunette with highlights, has had very short hair, and has had extremely curly hair. You can achieve any of her looks by visiting a professional to color and cut your hair, or you can do it yourself by buying a boxed dye and highlighting kit. Shakira is a fan of avoiding harsh chemicals when it comes to taking care of her hair. She uses sulfate-free shampoo on her hair and refrains from using products with alcohols as they can dry out your hair. To really get Shakira's hair, try to go for natural serums and products for your hair. Aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter, honey, and vegetable glycerin are all natural products that can provide moisture and improve the health of your hair. Shakira's most recent hairstyle that causes envy from others is her long hair. If you have short hair, overtime you can grow it out like Shakira's so that you can achieve the same wavy look as hers. To grow your hair long, follow these tips:  Consider taking supplements for your hair. There are different vitamins you can take to improve hair growth, some of which are Biotin and Niacin.

Shampoo your hair with a clarifying shampoo 12 to 24 hours before doing the color rinse. This will remove any build-up from styling products and allow for a nice even color. For best results, use a clarifying shampoo (such as Neutrogena Clarifying Shampoo) to remove build-up. Hair should be completely dry when applying color to it. Wash your hair with enough time to allow it to air dry (thus inflicting less damage on your hair), or if you are short on time, use a blow dryer. Any type of hair dye, including a color rinse, can seriously damage your clothes. Change into clothes that you are not afraid to ruin, such as an old t-shirt you no longer wear. You can also put on a cape or smock to help protect your clothes or give your skin an extra layer of protection. These are available from most beauty supplies stores. Just as with your clothing, color rinse products can damage your home. Place an old towel under your feet and another one on your bathroom counter. This will help you avoid dying your bathroom the color of your hair. Anytime you are dealing with dye products, it is a good idea to wear rubber gloves. Color rinse solution can stain your hands (particularly your fingernails) for several days or even a week. Be sure to wear some kind of gloves. Disposable rubber gloves or plastic dishwashing gloves will work great.

Shampooing is one of the most important parts of cleaning your beard. Shampoo helps to loosen oil and grime, and generally clean your beard hair. As a result, you should commit yourself to a regular beard shampoo schedule.  Shampoo your beard several times a week. The frequency depends on how dirty and oily your beard is. If you work outdoors, sweat a lot, and come into contact with dirt, you may need to shampoo every other day. Rinse your beard until all the shampoo is out. Purchase a shampoo formulated for beards. Don’t use regular hair shampoo, as this may dry the skin under your beard. After shampooing your beard, you should use a special beard conditioner. Beard conditioners are formulated specifically for coarse beard hair. Conditioning your beard will soften your hair and moisturize the skin underneath. When conditioning, remember to:  Shampoo first. Rub in the conditioner. Let it sit. Rinse it out. While you may think that washing or cleaning your beard every day is a good thing, over washing could cause a variety of problems. When determining how much to wash, remember that:  Over washing could dry your skin and hair out. Everyone’s hair and skin is different. What might be too much washing for one person, might not be enough washing for someone else. Make sure to experiment and try to find the perfect balance for you. Smokers or foodies might at some point develop nasty beard stains. Thankfully, you'll be able to remove those stains with a baking soda paste.  Mix a 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 4 tablespoons of warm water. Apply the mixture -- now a paste -- to your beard. Allow the paste to sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse the mixture. Repeat as needed.

Shampooing your hair every day can strip it of oils it needs to be smooth and healthy. The natural oils that accumulate are good frizz fighters. Instead, use shampoo once a week, and use conditioner whenever you wet your hair. If your hair feels uncomfortably oily, use a dry shampoo between washes. Shampoo hair once or twice in a week, maximum, thrice. This is a key part of preventing frizz. To keep your hair properly moisturized, try using a deep conditioner that you can let sit on your hair for an extended period of time. Unless your hair is extremely fine, use a deep conditioner each time you wash, and be sure to leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes. Frizz happens when dry, porous hair sucks up moisture in the air, causing the shaft to swell. This heavy dose of conditioner coats the hair shaft, making it harder for moisture to sink in. If you have curly hair or plan on wearing your hair in a curly style (twist out, braid out, bantu knot out, etc.) try to avoid touching it while it's wet to prevent frizz. It also helps to seal your twists or braids with a natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil. Everything like hair ties and head bands, can also pull and rip hair, causing more damage to the hair, and adding more frizziness. So be careful when choosing and using hair accessories. This tears up your roots, causing damage to the hair, which then can cause breakage or frizziness. Always use your fingertips to massage your scalp while washing hair. Avoid blow-drying your hair or wrapping in a towel. It's best to use a wide-tooth hair pick on wet hair to pick out any hair knots first, if needed, instead of using a brush or a fine-toothed comb, because this keeps the hair from breaking or frizzing. After it is completely dry then you may brush or comb your hair gently. Any pulling of the hair will cause it to frizz.  Don't wrap your hair up in a towel. Wrapping and twisting your hair to keep it up will cause the hair to frizz. Try just laying the towel over your head any way you like, standing straight or bent...

Shampoos are designed to remove dirt and oil from the hair, but they can also strip your hair’s natural cuticle. Bleach does the same thing, so shampooing every day just layers damage.  Wash your hair every three to four days, especially in the first few weeks. Buy a gentle dry shampoo to spray on your roots to stretch the time you can go between washes. Once a week, apply a hair mask to the entire head and comb through to distribute evenly. Leave on as directed.  All masks differ. Look for a mask for color treated, damaged or dry hair and follow the directions for use. You can also use a deep conditioning treatment. You can make hair masks at home to save money. From avocados to tea, there are lots of things around your house that double as hair moisturizers. Learn how to Make a Hair Mask. Microfiber towels absorb a lot more moisture than standard cotton towels. This means you’ll be subjecting your hair to far less heat through blow drying. These towels also prevent frizziness, which is a big problem with bleach-damaged hair. When you're drying your hair, don’t rub your hair with your towel. The friction will cause frizz. Instead, pat and squeeze the hair gently. When your hair is brittle from bleaching, it’s important to think about how rough you can be with your hair even with simple things like combing. Using a wide tooth comb, start combing at your ends and work your way up to the roots.

Shampoos are made in a wide variety for different hair types and can range from cheap to very expensive. While you should avoid choosing really cheap shampoos, salon shampoos may not provide any extra benefit to your hair. Focus more on picking a shampoo for your hair type (shampoo for dry-damaged hair or for oily hair). This may seem obvious, but conditioning hair is important because it moisturizes your hair and helps restore the natural oils that you need. Avoid applying conditioner to your roots as this can create extra oily hair. Choose a conditioner that is also right for your hair type. If you have dry hair you may need a hydrating conditioner, or if you have oily hair you might like a light weight conditioner. All of us can't avoid using styling tools forever, but we can keep our hair as healthy as possible when applying heat. Before blow drying, curling, or straightening your hair always apply a heat serum or heat spray. These come in many different brands and they can be found at any grocery or drug store. Along with your regular conditioner, it can be good to apply a deep conditioner at least once a week to do some damage repair. Some popular hair masks are made by Neutrogena, Alterna Ten, Aussie, and Fekkai. What is often in style is thick hair with lots of body, but unfortunately not everyone is blessed with this hair type. Volumizers are great because they help you achieve that look even if you hair is extremely fine. Flip your hair over and spray a few spritz to your roots and the rest of your hair. Then create volume by blow drying or boosting your hair with your hands. If you want to maintain the best health for your hair, it's good to avoid washing your hair too much, but you may feel like your hair just looks way too dirty. Dry shampoos are great because they are an easy product that covers any dirt or grease in your hair and makes it look fresh.

Sharing a room, or even living under the same roof, as your siblings can be aggravating. It's important that you each get a couple hours a day to yourself. If need be, spend some additional time doing homework at a friend's house or at the library to allow you and your sister to some space from  one another. Everyone needs their own space, their own friends, and their own life. Let your sister enjoy her personal time without bothering her. If she sees that you're giving her space, she'll be more inclined to spend time with you when she doesn't have company over.  Younger siblings often annoy big sisters and their friends. Don't be that kind of younger sibling! Only hang out with your sister and her friends if they invite you. If you don't annoy them by bothering them all the time, they may start inviting you to hang out with them all of the time It's important that you have your own friends as well. Think about how you would feel if you were constantly bothered by your sister while you're with your friends. Treat her how you would like to be treated. It's often said that space allows the heart to grow fonder – this reigns true with siblings as well! Allow her to miss you, all her to want to spend time with you. Even if your big sister doesn't know it, she will miss you if you're not around all time.  If your sister approaches you, it will most likely be in a positive way. Wait for her to initiate an interaction instead of always approaching her first. You deserve to have your own life, so enjoy it! Have your own friends and your own hobbies, as this will prove to your sister that you are an individual, not just her annoying little sister.

Sharing activities with the girl will improve your relationship with her. When you have a good time with a girl, she is more likely to remember the experience. Friendships are typically started because two people share a common interest, so it's important that you both share one before becoming better friends.   One way to avoid sending mixed signals is to tell the girl how much the activity costs. By doing this you are setting the tempo for a friendly hang-out and not a date. You can go to a restaurant to eat, travel to an amusement park, attend another friend's birthday party, go surfing, join an art class, or do anything else that you both like. Hanging out inside and watching movies is always an option if there isn't anything to do. As humans we bond over conversation, especially if the topic of conversation is something that we hold emotionally dear. The more you have conversations about each other's lives, the more connected you will feel. Being vulnerable means listening to her fears and emotions and being open to talk about yours.   Don't be critical of her if she comes to you with a problem. The last thing a girl wants to hear is how she did wrong when she already knows she messed up. Always listen for the girl's perspective and see where she is coming from before giving your advice. Asking a girl for advice will open up trust, and she will become more likely to seek you out for her own advice. Getting compliments makes us feel good and motivates us to do things. You should always compliment a girl when you admire something she has accomplished or achieved. However, you shouldn't compliment a girl when it comes to her looks, because it can put her in an uncomfortable place if you're just friends. Instead, take cues from the compliments that she gives to you. If she never mentions your physical appearance, it's best to not mention her looks.  Refrain from saying things like “you're so beautiful,” or other general things about her appearance.

Shark teeth contain oxygen, which can react with surrounding minerals to create colors over time. Fossilized shark teeth have had at least 10,000 years for this oxidation to take effect, so they’re often black, deep red, brown, grey, or another similar dark color. This varies based on the environment that the tooth has fossilized in, because different sediments contain minerals that create different colors through oxidization.  Shark teeth that are found in areas that contain iron oxide, such as parts of New Jersey, tend to have an orange or red coloring. Shark teeth found in areas that contain a lot of phosphate, such as Venice Beach, Florida, tend to be black, as phosphate is a dense, black mineral. Modern teeth haven’t yet been exposed to the minerals in surrounding sediments for the 10,000 years that it takes to cause oxidation. As a result, these teeth are typically white, and usually appear much like they did when they were in the mouth of the shark they came from. Try determining the general age of the tooth by observing its anatomy and finding out what kind of species it came from. While many shark teeth that you may find can come from sharks like tiger sharks and great white sharks that exist today, you could find one that comes from an extinct species. If you notice that the anatomy of a tooth matches that of an extinct species, the tooth is extremely old. The megalolamna paradoxodon is one example of an extinct shark species that you could possibly find the teeth of.. While you can certainly find fossilized shark teeth at the beach, both modern and fossilized teeth are frequently found in this location. If you find a tooth significantly inland, then there’s a high chance that it’s very old because it would take a long time for the tooth to be moved far away from the ocean by the elements. For instance, if you find a shark tooth in a creek that’s 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) inland, it’s probably a fossilized tooth.

Sharp shooting pain often doesn't represent a problem in your leg, but rather an issue in your low back or hip. Twinges of pain that shoot down the back of your leg is called sciatica and usually caused by a bulging or herniated disc between your spinal bones.  See your doctor or chiropractor for a physical exam and spinal x-rays to rule out a back problem. Shooting leg pain can also be caused by arthritic and/or slightly malpositioned hip or spinal joints. Sharp, shooting or "electric" pain represents nerve irritation, whereas achy pain and soreness usually indicates muscle pain. Foot and leg issues are common with diabetics because the high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood is toxic and irritation to small blood vessels and nerve endings. If your lower leg or foot is painful and numb (reduced sensations), then you may not be controlling your blood sugar as well as you should.  See your doctor and get your blood glucose levels measured by a simple blood test. Leg pain is often an early sign to people who are undiagnosed with diabetes. Being overweight and a heavy drinker of alcohol are two major risk factors for diabetes. People with diabetes usually develop symptoms and pain in both legs and the condition gets worse slowly with time depending on how well the condition is managed. Infections in the leg from puncture wounds or cuts / abrasions are not uncommon and often start with minor pain before escalating and getting worse. Other signs to look out for include swelling and redness, black and blue streaks, mild-to-moderate fever, nausea, rapidly increasing pain and great difficulty walking.  See your doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms. If your doctor is booked up or unavailable, go to a walk-in clinic or hospital emergency department for treatment. Stepping on sharp objects, sports injuries, foot trauma, cuts from a pedicure and severe blisters from ill-fitting shoes can all develop into bacterial infections that quickly involve most of the leg.

Shaving is the most basic method to get rid of body hair. You can buy a razor and shaving cream in most grocery stores, pharmacies, and even gas stations. Shaving is a fast and painless way to get rid of hair, however it doesn't prevent hair from growing back.  Unlike waxing, shaving does not hurt, but because of the sharp blades from the razor, you can cut yourself frequently. Shaving only lasts for up to a week, until the hair is visible again. Some hair grows back within 1-2 days. Open the pores to ensure a smooth shave by either submersing the skin to be shaved in a hot bath or taking a hot shower.  If you shave as part of your shower routine, wait until the end (making sure the water is hot at least a few minutes before you begin) to begin shaving. Apply shaving cream/gel liberally to the area you intend to shave and wait a few minutes for it to set in. This time is critical to ensure the skin is properly lubricated to protect against the razor. Cover the entire area you want to shave. Slowly run the razor across your hair. After 5-6 inches, rinse off the shaving cream and hair and repeat. Slowly (as slowly as you can) shave and with each stroke, wash the blade under hot water. Continue until your skin is smooth. Make sure not to press too hard on your skin. Lightly graze it. You must moisturize to maintain your skin! Shaving removes the most superficial layer so skin is extra-sensitive to damage, but also will absorb moisture better, so take advantage of the time. Use moisturizers with vitamin E or shea butter to help soothe skin and keep it looking young. If you need extra protection against razor burn, use an astringent cream or oil (usually containing an analgesic) to prevent irritation.

Shaving is the quickest and easiest way to remove your leg hair. Removing your leg hair will automatically make your legs appear to be shinier. Shave as often as necessary – some people shave every day, some shave once a week. Invest in a good razor, especially if you have sensitive skin. A good razor will often have multiple blades and a conditioning strip.  When you shave, use a good shaving cream. There are many shaving creams that can be purchased at beauty or convenience stores, but you can also use natural shaving creams. Shea butter and coconut oil make for great shaving creams, as these products deeply condition the skin. Take your time when shaving your legs. Don't rush through the shaving process, as you could cut yourself or miss a section of hair. Shave your legs while in a hot bath or shower. The hot water will open up your pores, allowing you to get a closer shave. Waxing is a great way to get smooth, shiny legs, and the results will last much longer than shaving. Waxing is a bit painful, but is worth it if you want better, longer lasting results. Many people choose to get waxed by a professional, but you can also wax your own legs at home.  Exfoliate before waxing for best results. Purchase an at-home waxing kit. This kit should contain wax (that is typically heated in the microwave) and waxing sticks and sheets. Wax your legs slowly and carefully. Apply the hot wax onto one small section of skin at a time using the waxing stick, place the waxing sheet on top of the hot wax, and press down. After about 15 seconds, quickly pull the strip upwards off your skin. Repeat this until you have waxed your legs completely. For more details on waxing your legs at home, check out Waxing Your Legs With a Waxing Kit If you are sick and tired of shaving and waxing to get rid of your unwanted leg hair, consider getting it removed permanently. This process is a bit more painful and expensive than the typical hair removal methods, but many believe it to be worth it. You can get your hair removed professionally,...

She may hang her head low, slouch, take up as little space as possible, and avoid eye contact. This posture is associated with submission and anxiety. This body language reinforces and sends the message that you are nervous, submissive, and lack confidence. Changing your posture and body language will alter the impression you make on others, their behavior towards you, and eventually your own perception of yourself. If you're not comfortable trying some of these techniques in public, practice them in a mirror or film yourself until you feel a bit more comfortable. You could also practice with a good friend and get some feedback. Stand and walk with your shoulders pulled back and level. Keep your chin level, with your face pointed straight ahead. Walk like you own the world, even if you don't feel like you do. Doing this will make yourself look poised because many people slouch.  Pretend you are hanging from a string attached to the top of your head. Try keeping your head from moving around anxiously by choosing a fixed point to look at. Focus on the point, rather than moving your head. Anxious people often shift their weight from side to side, fidget, or tap their feet. Try standing with your feet at hip's width apart. Balance your weight across both legs. Balancing, or planting, your feet will keep your from feeling like you need to be on the move. Keep your legs balanced even when you're sitting.

Shearing is done for two main reasons: to collect sheep's wool for sale, but more importantly to relieve the sheep of heavy wool which may cause them to overheat in summer. In some parts of the world, sheep shearing is even considered a sport!  If the sheep are not sheared, they will become uncomfortable and possibly unhealthy, due to the dirt that can become matted up in their wool. Therefore, even if you do not plan on selling the wool for profit, your sheep will still need to be sheared at least once a year. Due to its warmth and the ease with which it can be spun into yarn, the wool from certain breeds of sheep is a valuable commodity. These animals are often raised differently and fed a special mineral-rich diet to improve the quality of their wool. A single sheep can produce 8 to 10 pounds of wool. Most sheep only need to be sheared once a year, although some breeds with faster-growing wool will need to be sheared twice. The best time of the year to shear your sheep is in early spring, before the lambing season starts and the hot summer weather sets in.  Shearing ewes before lambing season is a good idea for many reasons. It will help to keep them cleaner while giving birth, and make it easier for the lambs to find their mother's teats for feeding. If the animals are kept in a barn during lambing season, the sheared sheep will also take up less space. Another reason shearing before lambing season is a good idea is that sheared ewes will often eat more grass in order to produce more body heat. This provides them with the extra nutrition they need before giving birth. Try to shear the sheep about a month before they give birth to the lambs. This will give them time to get over the stress of shearing. If you own a breed of sheep with fast-growing wool (such as Cotswolds, Icelandics and Lincolns) aim to do the shearing in late summer or early autumn. Sheep will need at least six weeks to grow their wool before the winter weather sets in. Although it may not seem like it, shearing a sheep is very hard work....

Sheep, chickens, rabbits, cows, pigs, horses, and ducks are all excellent sources of nitrogen-rich manure. The manure of these animals will nourish your soil with nitrogen and many other nutrients, including zinc and phosphorus. You can also buy aged manure from your local garden center. It isn’t necessarily the disease potential that makes extremely fresh manure unsafe to use (though that’s a contributing factor). New manure contains far too much nitrogen for your dirt to absorb. Too much nitrogen can keep seeds from sprouting after planting, as the excess nitrogen will burn them up at the roots. Manure can easily spread disease. Protect yourself from any negative effects by wearing the right gear. After distributing the manure, scrub your hands and nails under warm water with antibacterial soap. Wait a minimum of 60 days so that your soil can absorb the nutrients in the manure. This will also reduce any potential health effects from eating produce that made contact with the manure. Either add it in dried form to a compost, or spread fresher manure directly over your soil. If you decide to turn the manure into compost, be sure to mix it well with the rest of your ingredients. To really revitalize your soil and prepare it for the next planting season, distribute manure-based compost across your garden during the autumn months. The nutrients will soak into the soil over winter.

Sheets can be folded until layers are 48 pieces thick to save time. For smaller flowers, you can make smaller circles, and likewise larger circles for larger circles. Cut out the circles through all the sheets. You will be left with stacks of 48 paper circles. (Note: Less paper can be used to make fewer flowers). Secure the pieces with a paper clip and puncture two holes in the center with a sharp point, such as a large sewing needle. After pushing it through one hole, curve it and push it back out the other hole to form a loop that secures the paper. The pipe cleaner will also serve as the stem. Gently pull each sheet toward the center of the flower and firmly crinkle the base of each piece to hold the flower shape.

Sherlock Holmes solves his crimes by following the principles of deduction, which is a method used to reach a conclusion based on a guiding theory. Sherlock creates his theories based on the connections he makes using his observational skills and personal knowledge. Deduction relies on the principle that all things in a particular group have the same rules. For example, if everyone in the conference room has won a prize and Tom is in the conference room, then we know that Tom is a prizewinner. A master of deduction builds a theory upon evidence, which then allows them to draw solid conclusions based on their theories.  Look for patterns in your life. Pay attention to the who, what, where, why, when, and how. For example, document who you see making the office coffee. You may discover that the only person who makes coffee before 8 AM is the office accountant, Lily. Make generalizations using your evidence. According to this pattern, you can generalize that all coffee made before 8 AM is made by Lily. Based on this theory, if there is no coffee after 8 AM, then Lily has not come into work. Once you’ve built a theory based on generalizations, see if your theory holds true. In the example above, the next time 8 AM passes and there is no coffee, check to see if Lily is out of the office. You need to improve your problem solving abilities so that you can use deduction to make better decisions. To use deduction, you need to be good at working out the solution to a problem. Start by defining your problem and understanding the facts. Gather and analyze information. List out possible solutions, and examine the qualities of each one. . You must learn to think logically if you are going to develop your intuition. For your intuition to be accurate, it needs to be trained to react based on logic. Look for relationships between causes and effects. For example, if your friend drinks more cups of coffee on Thursdays, then ask yourself what’s different about that day. She may stay up late on Wednesday because she’s taking a...

Shift into first gear if your car has a manual transmission. Go into hill-climbing gear if your car has an automatic transmission. The gear shift is located either next to your steering wheel or your right leg. As you are shifting your car into gear, turn your steering wheel completely in one direction. Floor the accelerator and your car should begin to turn in one direction. As the car is sliding, yank the hand brake to begin the rear-wheel slide. To keep the car spinning and gliding on the rear wheels, you will have to continuously press on the accelerator and lift the hand brake. After you have done so once, let off the accelerator slightly, and let the hand brake go. When your car begins to lose power, and therefore some of the spin, press on the throttle again, and lift the hand brake.  Be careful not to rev your engine too much in first gear. If you do this more than 5-6 times it can start to damage your engine. To stop the donuts, simply let off the accelerator slightly, while jerking your steering wheel back to the center position.

Shin splints are often caused by either running (or walking) too much uphill, on uneven terrain or on particularly hard surfaces such as asphalt or concrete. As such, try altering your course and changing the type of surface you run or walk on — switch to grass, sand or a rubberized athletic track, for examples. Alternatively, cut down on your mileage and the number of times your workout per week. Over-pronation (the rolling in of ankles) and flat feet are risk factors for getting shin splints. Poorly fitting or excessively heavy shoes can also contribute to the development of shin splints. As such, wear stable, lightweight footwear that suits your sport or activity. Aim for no more than a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) heel. If you're a serious runner, replace your shoes about every 350 to 500 miles (560 to 800 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first.  Remember to always tie your shoes tightly because loose shoes or flip-flops puts more strain on your foot and lower leg muscles. Get fitted for your shoes by a shoe salesperson late in the day because that's when your feet are at their largest, usually due to swelling and slight compression of your arches. If changing your routine and footwear doesn't make a positive impact on your shin pain, then consider switching to an entirely different activity that may be more "friendly" to your shin muscles, such as swimming, cycling or rowing. Then after the shin splints resolve (perhaps in a matter of days or a few weeks), slowly reintroduce running, walking or dancing back into your routine.  Swimming burns more calories than walking or jogging because most swimming strokes require the use of all your body's muscles. Lifting relatively heavy weights with your upper body is a good alternative, and it also burns more calories than cardiovascular exercise. Weight loss may help prevent shin splints as there's less pressure put on the bones and muscles of the lower leg. For most women, consuming less than 2,000 calories daily will lead to some weight loss every week even if you're only...

Shoot her a quick gaze, wait until she notices, smile with your eyes, and then slowly look away. If you look back and notice her looking back to meet your eyes, she's likely interested in talking. If she completely avoids eye contact with you, she's probably not interested or is too busy or distracted to notice you.  If she's talking to another guy, back off, unless you're really feeling bold. If she's with a group of girls, then your chances may be better if you go talk to her with a group of your own friends. If she's looking at books, go look at books near her. If she's at the bar, go order a drink next to her. Find any excuse you can to casually bring yourself close to her. In some situations, though, this will be difficult (such as if she's absorbed in her laptop at a coffee shop, or talking with a friend). In that case, it's probably better not to interrupt her unless she seems obviously intrigued by you (i.e. she can't seem to stop looking at you). Don't wait too long to talk to her. If she sees you looking at her and approaching, then let her see that you're a man of action, smile, and walk up to her. Keep it casual, as if you already know each other, but not too casual because you don't want to scare her off. You can start with a simple observation and end it with a question: "Nice day, isn't it?" or "This place sure is packed, huh?" What you say isn't important. You don't really need an answer to the question; you are simply inviting her to talk with you. If she responds pleasantly, continue the conversation. If she doesn't respond or seems preoccupied or disinterested, she probably isn't interested, so start talking to someone else. Don't worry about saying the perfect thing at first.

Shop at local nurseries for wildflower seeds to ensure that you get species that will grow well in your climate zone. Ask for seeds that are "nursery propagated" instead of "nursery grown." This will ensure that the seeds were derived from local plant populations. If you are buying seeds in the U.S., find native plant nurseries by visiting the Wildflower Center's suppliers directory at https://www.wildflower.org/suppliers/. Species of wildflowers that are not winter-hardy should be planted between March and May so they have time to germinate before the summer comes. Species that do better in cooler temperatures should be planted between September and November, or in autumn before the first frost. Seeds that are planted after November will usually lie dormant until the following spring. Only species that are very resistant to hot weather should be planted in the summer as the heat will prevent seed germination for some wildflowers. The seeds for different species of wildflowers vary in weight and size, which can make them difficult to spread evenly if grouped together. Offset this problem by planting the seeds for each species one at a time. Apply them all uniformly over the same space to create a mix of flowers, or plant them in their own spots for varied looks across your garden. It can be difficult to distribute wildflowers seeds evenly when planting them. To do this, mix 1 part wildflower seeds in a container with 4 parts sand and shake them to mix them up. This will prevent the seeds from clumping together and growing in uneven patches. Rake seeds into the top layer of the soil to encourage germination. Water the ground as needed to keep it moist while the seeds germinate. On average this should be every 2-3 days, or more or less depending on the weather. Do not over-water the ground, which will block the flow of oxygen to the developing root systems.  Once your seedlings are 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) tall, slowly stop watering them and only provide water in very dry conditions. Fully-grown wildflowers do...

Shopping on certain days of the week can actually boost your savings.  Midweek is typically the best both for additional deals and for a less crowded shopping trip.  Additional tips:  For most grocery stores, manager markdowns are made on Wednesdays and prices are also reduced for items nearing the “sell by” date. Wednesday is also the day most grocery stores release new ads, so you can get bonus deals if the store honors the last week's deal as well. Most savvy shoppers recommend going shopping alone so that you can really focus on shopping efficiently without any distractions.  If you prefer to bring a friend or your partner, just be sure he is aware of your shopping and savings goals.  Have him tackle items on the perimeter of the store while you scour the center; just don't let him sway you from your list!  Sticking to the list and shopping efficiently is also much easier if you leave your children at home. Some items are cheaper if you buy them in bulk, which can help save money and stock your pantry for more than just one month.  Avoid buying anything perishable in bulk or anything that you really don't use often, as this will just waste money.  See if the store offers specials if you buy in bulk, just be sure to do a quick calculation in your head or on your phone to make sure you are actually getting a substantial deal. Different stores have different strengths, and you should use this to your advantage.  If you shop a few times a week, the cost of gas can add up driving all over town, but this doesn't apply when you're shopping only once a month.

Your safe people shouldn’t be the first people that your abuser would think of you going to.  Also include numbers for the police, hospital, and local shelter.  Keep your list hidden or disguise it as something else if you fear that finding it would provoke your abuser to violence. If you have children, be sure they have access to a list of phone numbers to call or take to a neighbor or friend in the event of an emergency (in addition to calling 911). You can decide on an use a “safety word” or a code word to use with children, neighbors, friends, or coworkers to indicate that you are in distress and need help.   If you do this, the person to whom you communicate the code word should have a specific plan to respond, such as calling the police immediately. If you are living in an abusive situation, you should make a plan for dealing with violent episodes.  Know the areas of your house that are safest for you to run to (do not go to a small room with no escapes or a room with objects that can easily be used as weapons). Part of your emergency plan should be an escape plan.  You should try to leave your vehicle full of gas and easily accessible.  If possible, hide an extra car key somewhere you know you can get to it on your way out.  Practice quickly leaving your house and getting into the car, and if you have children, have them practice with you. If you have time, it's good to plan ahead by opening a separate bank account or credit card in your name only, and preferably a PO Box to receive correspondence that doesn't need to go through your abuser. Start channeling your own money into that account and save some so that you'll be able to get started without having to worry about money at first. This could be difficult if your abuser practices financial abuse.  Do not allow a low account balance or a lack of any emergency funds to keep you in an abusive situation.  A shelter,...

Show her that you care about her and that you think about her. Being attentive can mean many things – from offering to hold her hand, to helping her with things that she finds difficult. Show this kind of behavior regularly, but be careful not to smother her or pressure her into doing things she doesn’t want to do.  Offer your hand to her while you are walking through the mall, or while you are watching a movie together. Send her a cute text when you know she is feeling blue. Try something like, “Hey, cutie. Thinking of you!” If she’s swamped with chores at home, offer to lend her a hand. Remind your girlfriend of all the little things you love about her. Tell her when you think she looks nice or when you are happy to see her.  If she's wearing a pretty dress, say something like: "What a nice dress. It fits you perfectly. Summer, here you come!" If you notice she's gotten her hair cut recently, react to it: "Did you get a haircut? It makes me notice how pretty you are. Not that I normally forget..." If she accomplishes something hard, tell her you respect her: "I'm proud of you. I knew that you were smart, but you keep showing me new parts of you!" Simple compliments work best. Try saying, "You have beautiful eyes," or "When you smile, I light up inside." Make sure the comments are genuine! Avoid the cheesy stuff. "You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted, sugar muffin" is cheesy, but "I'm lucky to have you" is less so. When you go to meet her, bring her something special on occasion. It doesn't have to be anything big; it could be a candy bar or a funny card. It's a nice gesture to show that you are interested in her and want to please her.  Try bringing her lunch or dinner out of the blue. If she doesn't expect it, all the better. Figure out what she likes and bring it to her so you can share a meal together. Write her a nice letter once in awhile. It doesn't have to be long or mushy. Tell her you think about her all the time, and why she's special to you. Remember the things she mentions liking, and get her...

First, read the English article below.

Show respect to whomever or whatever has defeated you. Shake hands with your opponent, and congratulate her on a job well done. Whether you lost a fight, a debate, or a competition, try not to resort to pettiness. You won't be able to reverse the results by complaining about them, or by acting bitter toward the winner. Be as polite and gracious as possible. Thank them for their time and congratulate them on their skills and their win. If you are a gracious loser, the victor will likely feel uncomfortable boasting about their win in front of you. This changes the situation from a winner-loser game to a moment between two people who respect each other and have just finished an enjoyable pastime. If others will judge you for being defeated, let them do so. You know who you are, and you don't need to justify yourself to someone else who doesn't know your heart. Be your own center. Losing with class turns your loss into a much bigger victory than any win would.  Others have a responsibility to encourage everyone to participate. If they forget their role, you must not forget yours. Be excited about pursuing your interests. If your opponent is mocking you, that means they're worried that you might be motivated by your loss. Ignore them; the more you listen to them, the more you accept their words as fact. If you blame another person, group, or set of circumstances for your defeat, you will keep yourself from accepting what happened. If you blame yourself, you will make yourself miserable, and you'll miss out on the chance to grow from the experience. Try to take the situation exactly as it is: what happened, happened, and no amount of blaming will reverse that. Think about what happened. Did practice prepare you for the situation you faced? Did your team communicate well? Whatever the case, try to address it at the next practice. Praise them for a particularly clever or effective move. This has the added benefit of letting you take effective strategies from them and figure out flaws in their strategy. If your...

First, read the English article below.

Show that you're willing to help out your parents or guardians, and they may be less angry or strict. Wash the dishes, take out the trash, care for pets, or clean up after a younger siblings. If you're serious about trying to get the punishment to end early, follow the restrictions your parents have put down. If they discover you didn't obey them, they may even increase the length of your punishment. Your parents might watch your behavior to siblings, older relatives, and family friends when deciding whether to keep punishing you. Be nice to your siblings or anyone else who lives in your house, and make an effort to talk politely with your parents' friends. Retreating to your room and sulking may make your parents more irritated at you. One of the most convincing ways to show you're making an effort is to volunteer to go with them to family events, such as visiting relatives or visiting a restaurant. If you're too angry to stay polite with your parents, try an activity that doesn't involve much talking, such as watching a movie together. Your parents probably know that you're acting extra-nice because you want to get off punishment. The longer you keep acting this way, preferably a few days or more for a longer-term punishment, the more likely you are to convince your parents that you deserve less punishment.

Show the child how to include some of the important details or facts in additional sentences. These facts should be contained in the sentences following the intro sentence. Include the details that answer the rest of the six questions.  It is important that the sentences in the summary be as concise and precise as possible.     If the sentences are long, drawn-out, and very detailed, it is more of a re-write of the passage than a summary.    When they finish writing the summary paragraph, the children should read it over to be sure that it flows well from beginning to end. They should also compare it to the original passage to be sure that it says the same general thing in a more compact way.  When a summary is turned in for a grade, it is important that it is written with grammatically correct sentences that have proper punctuation. If the summary is only going to be used as a personal study guide, proper grammar and punctuation aren’t really necessary, but they do make it easier to read and understand when the summary is reviewed weeks later during a study session. Since their first summary may be either too detailed or too vague, give feedback on their quality of writing and tell them specifically on what they should improve on next time. This will not only help your child improve at this form of writing, but will also set them up for success with more difficult texts later on in life.

Show the results off to the world. Thanks to its compatibility with some extraordinarily cheap lenses with great optics, the results you get from this camera will be every bit as good as the results from more complicated and expensive cameras like the Canon A-1, or even pro cameras like the F-1. The T50's lack of manual settings is loved by experienced photographers even as they curse it; it forces the photographer to think about nothing but how well they are composing the picture.

Show up to school one day wearing a New England Patriots jersey. Ask students to guess or infer why you’re wearing it. (Answer: because you’re a Patriots fan.) Point out that students make these types of inferences about their family, friends, and strangers every day.  Or, arrive one day wearing a t-shirt with the logo of a popular band or a charity logo on it. Ask students to infer why you’re wearing it. (Answer: you like the band and support the charity cause.) Students can make inferences based on smaller details, too. If you come to class one day with mud on the soles of your shoes, they’ll infer that you walked through mud on your way to school. If your students enjoyed making inferences based on clothing, they’ll enjoy this activity as well. Show your students pictures of various types of shoes: construction boots, snow boots, ballerina shoes, sandals, and formal shoes. Ask them to make inferences about each type of shoe: who would wear them? Where would someone go in this type of footwear?  Students will infer that heavy work boots would be worn by a construction worker at a job site, formal shoes would be worn by a businessperson, and sandals would be worn at the beach. If a pair of shoes is tattered, students can infer that the shoes are old and worn frequently. Ask one of the school administrators to come into your room during class and have a whispered (fake) conversation with you. While speaking, make sure that both of you glance up at the fire alarm, and then consult your watches. When the administrator leaves, ask students, “What do you think we were just talking about?” Students will be able to infer that you and the administrator were “discussing” what time a fire drill will occur. Try having each student stand in front of the classroom for 2–3 minutes while their peers infer things about the student. For example, students may say, “She’s wearing a sweater, which means she’s cold,” or “He’s wearing glasses so he must have bad eyesight.”  The student being examined can then confirm if their...

Show your customers that you do care about their safety and privacy online. Use your web copy to ensure safety and security for your customers. You're less likely to make online sales if customers are unsure if providing their financial information is safe.  Customer testimonials are one of the quickest, most effective means to make visitors feel secure. Only use genuine e-mails or comments in testimonials and ask past customers for their permission first. Go for specifics. Look for e-mails in which a customer specifically outlines how a product benefited them and what they enjoyed about making purchases on your website.  Talk a bit about yourself. Have a section of your website outlining your own credentials, experience, and your background. This makes you look qualified to your audience. Customers are more likely to buy from someone they feel they know. The easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective way to increase your website sales is to display 3rd party seal of approval, also known as a trust seal. Trust seals are usually small graphics that say that a website is trusted/validated/verified/secure. If people have doubts about your reliability they won't buy anything from your website. There are different types of trust seals: a standard trust seals, a security seal, a privacy seal, a business seal, but are all generally referred to as trust seals. There are many trust seal providers available and prices vary from tens of dollars monthly to thousands of dollars. Do your research before you buy. Many low cost trust seals perform as well as or better than the expensive ones. It's generally a good idea to use similar trust seals to your competitors. Some providers limit the number of monthly seal impressions and will charge you for excess impressions. Trust seals come in many styles, colors, sizes, etc., and display different messages. Choose the one that suits your website best.

Showing off as much leg as possible is often used to grab men's attention, but if this isn't something you're comfortable with, don't fret. Show off as much of your arms instead. Expect this to attract a guy's eye just as much (if not more so) than your legs. Try wearing more:  Tanktops. T-shirts. Sleeveless dresses and blouses. Of course, if you live in Alaska and it's the middle of winter, you probably don't have as much opportunity to walk around in a tanktop. So don't risk hypothermia just to get noticed! However, do try to keep your wrists exposed when you're talking with that certain someone. Be aware that your wrists are one of the key areas where your body's pheromones are released. This means he probably won't take any notice of your wrists, at least as far as he's aware of. But on a subconscious level he's more likely to respond to your smell if you don't cover it up. Incorporate the color red into your wardrobe in order to hold men's attention. Expect men to find you more attractive in this color than any other. However, keep in mind that this tends to enhance their perception of you, not form it, so don't expect it to work if he doesn't like anything else about you. Don't feel like you need to wear a designer dress or tailor-made suit every day of the week. But if casual garb is your main thing, switch things up every now and then. Keep him guessing about what you'll wear next. For instance:  Opt for a dress or suit over your usual jeans and t-shirt. Make a point of showing up to the gym in your nice clothes if he only ever sees you in athletic gear.  Wear some elegant pajamas to bed instead of your flannels or sweats.

Shred the cheddar straight out of the refrigerator, while it’s still cold. You can also use pre-shredded cheddar, if you prefer, although it will have a better flavor if you shred it yourself. Divide the cheese into several small, heat safe bowls. Ramekins would be a good choice. This method is best used when you only need to melt small amounts of cheddar. For example, you could steam-melt cheese to put on hamburgers for a rich, delicious flavor. Fill a saucepan one-third full or less with water and bring it to a rolling boil on your stovetop. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the temperature of the burner to keep the water at a simmer.

Shredded newspaper can be turned into an effective cat litter. All you need is some baking soda.  Shred the paper, preferably in a paper shredder. Soak the paper in warm water. Add a small amount of biodegradable dish soap. Drain the water and soak again without the soap. Sprinkle baking soda onto the paper and knead the mixture together. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Crumble onto a screen and let dry for a few days. Use old newspaper to wrap gifts. The Sunday comics are especially effective due to the many colors. Use old paper to stuff a package for shipping. Wrap fragile objects in layers of paper, and fill the gaps in the box with crumbled wads so that everything stays snug. You can use paper bags to make book covers for your old and new hardbound books that you can decorate however you’d like.

Shut and lock all the doors and windows in the room that you'll be staying in. Especially at night, pull the shades or blinds.  Put a towel or blanket along the bottom of your door if there is a gap between it and the floor. You want complete privacy with no interference. It's common courtesy for people in nudist clubs to bring their own towels to sit on, so you can start this practice in your own room. Make sure that you have plenty of things to do, and that you can keep to yourself for the period of time that you have in mind. Put your clothes in a pile in the same order that you'd put them on so you can get dressed if someone comes knocking on your door. If you're really worried about getting caught nude, then you should do this. However, you can also keep a towel around, quickly wrap yourself in it, and claim that you were about to take a shower if someone comes in. Now that you've removed any obstacles in your way, as well as your clothes, you can just go about your daily life. So, don't do anything particularly special just because you're in the buff. Real nudists just do what they normally do, only naked -- even if they are able to enjoy life a little more and feel more liberated as a result. Here are some things you can do in your room:  Have fun. Read a book, play a computer game, watch TV, masturbate, draw, paint, play solitaire, do word searches, play guitar, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you are nude while doing it. Get down to business. Refine your resume, do computer research, do your taxes, clean your room, organize photos, and so on. Things that might otherwise not be much fun to do (i.e. cleaning) are often much enjoyable to do while nude. Get healthy. Moderate exercise, stretching, or yoga is very beneficial while nude, especially in front of a full-length mirror, as one can see which muscles and ligaments come into play.     Give yourself a self-massage. While you are not able to reach your back, you can massage your legs, arms, torso, feet, hands, stomach, scalp, and other...

Shutting your blinds and curtains during the day will help block the sun's rays. As soon as the sun hits your building in the morning, close all windows and keep exterior doors and windows closed throughout the hottest part of the day. Do this until night falls and it is cool enough to open the windows for the night.  Angle your blinds up, so that if you are looking through them you can see the ground, not the sky. For even better protection, get cellular, insulated curtains, or window tint film, which, like car tint, looks like a dark or shiny part of the glass itself. Open strategic windows so that cooler night air is blowing in throughout the evening. Leaving all interior doors open (including closets and kitchen cabinets) helps, too. If you leave them closed, they store the daytime heat and your house won't cool off so quickly at night. Be sure to get up and close the windows and blinds as soon as the sunlight hits your house. This can be as early as 5-6 a.m. in some areas. Position a ceiling fan, an upstairs window fan, or an attic fan to draw off the heat collected in upper rooms and push the heat outdoors. Set up your portable fan so that the fan sucks up cooler air from the floor below, and blows hot air upwards towards the ceiling.  Use a combination of fans to create good air circulation. Blow hot air out by positioning a powerful exhaust fan near a window and use oscillating fans placed near other windows to blow in fresh, cooler air. You can also turn on your stove ventilator hood fan or open up your chimney flue. These will also draw hot air out of the house and pull cooler evening air into the house. Put a metal bowl of salted ice in front of a fan, and adjust the fan so that the air is blowing over the ice. Or, use one or more 2 liter (0.5 US gal) bottles and fill them mostly full of water (70%) and rock salt (10%). Leave 20% of the volume empty for expansion. Freeze the liquid in the bottles, then place them in a large bowl (to catch dripping condensation). Position a fan to blow on them. As...

Shy girls are often, but not always, somewhat self-conscious. But even if a girl isn't self-conscious, it's a good idea to offer compliments to make her feel comfortable and loved. Keep them simple and genuine to make a shy girl feel more confident around you. If she does, she'll open up more and be less shy in some cases.  Don't pile it on, just keep it simple, and make it something that she has control over, not something abstract about her looks. "Your eyes are pretty" might be nice, but "I love your hair like that" is a great one, because she did her hair. You're complimenting her choice, not her looks. Make sure to compliment her personality traits as well, such as her intelligence, sense of humor, etc. Shy girls or introverts often need a lot of private time, and won't want to spend hours and hours texting with you or talking on Facebook. That's ok. It doesn't mean she doesn't like you, or that she's about to dump you. It just means she's being who she is. Relax and move at her pace.  If you call or text her and leave a message, don't get in touch again until she responds to it. You left the message. She'll get it. Let her decide how much of your relationship to share on social networking. Don't put up a bunch of pictures and updates about what you're doing together unless she wants to. Shy people might want to be more private than you're used to. The secret to dating a shy girl? Talk less. Shy girls will just want to be quiet sometimes. That's ok. Learn when to pull back and just be quiet. She'll open up and talk more when she's ready.  Just enjoy being together. If it's quiet because you don't have much to talk about, just enjoy sharing silence together. There's no need to constantly talk. It may even turn her off.  You can even tell her that you like sharing comfortable silences with her if you think it might put her at ease. Don't ask her why she's shy. Sometimes people will ask this question when they're feeling awkward. Drawing attention to it only makes it worse. There's no good answer to this...
