If your shrub is old, has thick branches without leaves, or doesn’t produce flowers, your best option is probably the rejuvenation method. Rejuvenation pruning, or coppicing, involves cutting all of the canes down to the crown to encourage new growth. While it might seem drastic, mock orange shrubs usually tolerate coppicing. Within a year, your shrub should grow back to a more attractive size and shape. Mock orange shrubs go dormant in the winter, and you won’t shock the plant as much if you coppice during dormancy. While you could try to rejuvenate it immediately after its flowers fade, there’s a higher risk that it won’t recover. Keep in mind the flowers of mock orange shrubs bloom on old wood. If you coppice in the winter, your shrub won’t bloom the following growing season. The technique is similar to annual renewal pruning, but you’ll cut back all of the canes instead of one-third of them. Use your lopping shears to cut each cane down to a few inches above the crown. When you’re finished, cut the canes up so they’ll fit in a lawn bag or in your compost heap. If you coppice in winter, your shrub is dormant and doesn't need any attention until spring. In the early spring, begin watering whenever the soil dries out, and apply a liquid fertilizer. It’s wise to test your soil so you know exactly what nutrients to provide.  For example, suppose your soil has lots of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), but is low in nitrogen (N). You’d check the N-P-K ratios on fertilizer labels, and go with a product with a higher N value, such as 14-7-7. If you don't need to correct a nutrient deficiency, choose a fertilizer labeled for shrubs and trees with an N-P-K ratio of 3-1-2 or 3-1-1, such as 15-5-10 or 15-5-5.  Apply fertilizer at the start of the growing season according to your product’s instructions. As a rule of thumb, apply about 4  fl oz (120 mL) of liquid fertilizer diluted in 1 US gal (3.8 L) of water. To meet your recovering shrub’s high nutrient needs, add well-matured compost or a slow-release pellet...

If your skillet is looking low on cooking oil, add a little more and let it heat up. Make sure the bottom of the skillet is fully coated with oil before proceeding. Drop the sliced onion rings into the hot oil. Stir the onions continuously as they fry. Be sure to stand back from the stove and add the oil gently to prevent accidents. After about 3 minutes, the onions should look translucent. Put them on a separate plate and set the plate aside for now. Add a little more oil to your skillet, if needed. Make sure you have a nice coating of oil on the skillet. Put all of the chopped cabbage into the hot oil. Stir continuously for about 3 minutes as the cabbage fries. The cabbage will soften and look slightly translucent. Dump the plate of fried beef into the skillet with the cabbage. Do the same thing with the onions. Stir all 3 ingredients continuously as they fry together for about 1 minute. Turn off the burner and remove the skillet from heat. You can place a spoon into the large serving dish and let your guests serve themselves, or you can plate the pigar pigar for your guests. Serve the pigar pigar while it’s hot.  Include the vinegar and fish sauce on the side to be used as dipping sauces. Give each guest a small bowl with about 1/3 cup (40 ml) of each dipping sauce in it. That way, guests don't have to dip from a community bowl. If you have leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container and consume within 3 days.

If your spouse acts violently towards you or anyone else in the home, the first thing you need to do is get yourself (and any other innocents) to a safe place. This may be a locked room somewhere else in home, a neighbor's house, or to the police station. If she comes at  you, try to shield yourself from harm as much as possible without retaliating as this can cause you to be considered a perpetrator, too.  If you have children in the home, alert them to head to your "safety zone" whenever shouting or other signs of violent behavior takes place. If you believe you are in danger, call the emergency services immediately. The first step in getting out is often just letting others know you are in an abusive relationship and you need support and help.  Beyond telling someone you trust, it can be helpful to ask them to assist in helping you find a way to leave. You generally need to gather resources, copies of documents and other items as you prepare to leave. A trusted friend can store these items for you. Gather any items you may need to leave like your own cell phone, a separate bank account and legal ID so you are not forced to stay in the home. Research your options as far as filing for separation, custody and other legal matters so you can coordinate as needed. If there are children in the home, make a plan for all of you to leave safely, if possible. This plan needs to take into account local laws about custody and what needs to occur so you can take the kids with you if that is what you want. Because abuse often follows the same cycle, you may be able to time leaving during a time where your partner thinks everything is “normal” and perhaps less likely to think something is going to happen. If you have to leave during the active abuse, beware this is the time you are most likely to be faced with possible false charges of you being the abuser, or even of getting hurt. You need to protect yourself from retaliation in the form of false charges of abuse from your partner; keeping records of everything will help...

If your story is about a doctor, learn the terminology a doctor would use in order to make the dialogue realistic. If your story is about a waitress, learn about the types of frustrations servers experience, like bad tippers, sore feet, etc. Work these details throughout your story to make the invented world come alive.  It's the details of life that readers connect to most readily. It's difficult to imagine grand disasters — the death of a child if you've never experienced that, for example — but we can imagine the quiet indignities of life. For example, a character might not cry at a funeral, but dissolve into tears the next day because a customer blamed slow service on her as a waitress instead of realizing it was the kitchen holding up the order. Dialogue is very difficult because it often comes across as stilted and unnatural. Find a partner and read all the dialogue in your story aloud, like you were performing the story as a play. Does it sound like normal human beings, or does it sound self-conscious and forced?  If the dialogue feels forced, put what you’ve written away and try to imagine you are the character. Imagine what they need to communicate in that moment, then say it aloud in your own words, using your natural speech pattern. While your exposition should be grammatically correct, your dialogue will actually sound strange if it’s grammatically correct. Native speakers almost never speak “correctly” unless they’re delivering a speech or in an important situation like a job interview. Use elements such as contractions, sentence fragments, and interruptions to make your dialogue sound more realistic. Pay special attention to conversations at key dramatic moments, as they tend to get overwritten. When characters are voicing important thoughts, their language sometimes grows too grand and eloquent. Normal people don't change the way they speak when having important conversations — if anything, they sometimes become less coherent. The great Russian short story writer Anton Chekhov wrote often of...

If your symptoms match many of the ones above, you should definitely seek medical attention. If you are experiencing symptoms, if your symptoms are worsening, or if you develop new symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible. Some gallbladder problems, such as smaller gallstones, will not require invasive medical treatment. These can sometimes resolve on their own.  However, a doctor’s visit is needed to determine this. To determine how effectively your gallbladder is functioning or whether there are large obstructions to the organ, an ultrasound will be needed. The ultrasound technician will check for gallstones, bile flow, and signs of tumors (which are rare).  Most polyps found in the gallbladder during the ultrasound are very small and do not need removal. Your doctor may want to monitor smaller polyps through additional ultrasound examinations to ensure they do not grow. Larger polyps generally indicate a greater risk of gallbladder cancer. Removal of gallbladder polyps is at the discretion of your doctor. Many gallbladder problems are resolved with the removal of large gallstones or the gallbladder itself (cholecystectomy). The body can function normally without the gallbladder, so do not be alarmed if your doctor recommends its removal.  Gallstones are almost never treated with medicine. It takes years to dissolve the stone with medicine, and the stones that can be treated effectively are so small that it almost never worth the bother. Removal of the gallbladder sometimes have side effects, (such as loose stools) but often none at all.

If your tile is brand new, you can just wipe off the surface. Older tile, especially flooring or bathroom tile, will need to be cleaned thoroughly. Start by using a degreaser, then wash the tile with tile cleaner or soap and water. It’s very important that your tile is perfectly clean, so don’t skip this step!  Use bleach or hydrogen peroxide to remove any mold. Vinegar works well for removing soap scum and shower residue. You won’t need to sand unglazed tile, but any ceramic that has already been glazed will need to be sanded to provide a rough surface for the paint to adhere to. Use 1800-grit sandpaper to smooth the tile and remove uneven gloss. Sanding creates a lot of dust, and it will affect the look of your paint. Make sure all of the dust from sanding is gone by wiping the entire surface with a damp cloth. You can also vacuum away any accumulated dust. Oil primers are efficient at preventing stains and holding on to ceramic and/or oil-based paint, but you won’t need to use them for decorative art tiles that won’t be walked on or used. If you’re planning to paint in a high-traffic area, like the shower or the hallway floor, use two coats. Check the primer's label for a precise drying time. If you're working in an area with a lot of moisture, like the bathroom, you may want to wait 48 hours.

If your toddler is not feeling better after a few days or his condition worsens, seek medical attention. Your child’s pediatrician can diagnose the cause of sinusitis and prescribe medication if needed. The pediatrician may perform an examination to see if your child has sinusitis, such as looking in the nasal cavity for polyps, shining a light through a sinus to look for signs of inflammation, or performing a nasal culture. She will also check your child's ears, throat and lungs. Your child may suffer from acute or chronic sinusitis, depending on the severity and duration of his infection. The doctor can help make the distinction and treat it accordingly.  Chronic sinusitis tends to last 12 or more weeks or causes recurring infections four to six times in one year. Acute sinusitis typically lasts only a few weeks and the symptoms tend to be more severe within that short span of time. Your toddler may require antibiotics in order to treat her sinusitis. Antibiotics are can be used to treat bacterial sinus infections but are not effective on viral infections.  The pediatrician is likely to prescribe antibiotics after your child has been ill for longer than 10 days, as this is a sign of a bacterial infection versus a viral infection.  If your child is prescribed a course of antibiotics, the medication should be taken as directed by your child’s doctor and no doses should be skipped even when your child begins to feel better. If your child has symptoms suggestive of allergies or known allergic triggers, then allergy testing or treatment may be in order. Children with allergies are more likely to have problems with sinus infections. In extreme causes of recurrent or chronic sinusitis, the best course of action may be surgery. Your pediatrician can advise you about whether this is right for your toddler.  Surgery is considered as the best option when your child has multiple episodes of sinusitis that cannot be relieved with medication therapy.  A surgery generally consists of removing some of the tissue near the...

If your toddler likes to sing or enjoys listening to you, sing songs while you wash your toddler or shampoo their hair. Remember that you can involve your toddler in the songs.  If your child has a favorite song, sing it if your toddler begins to get upset in the tub. For example, sing a song like "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and direct your toddler to touch those parts while you sing. Encourage your toddler to pretend play with you. They might want to be a mermaid, pirate, or fish. Splash around and imagine that the tub is the ocean. If you have bubbles in the bath tub, make bubble castles, beards, or hats. Let your toddler get you wet or covered in bubbles! For example, pretend like you're playing salon and let your child spread bubbles on your hair. Treat bath time like play time and give your child tools to interact with the water. Toddlers will enjoy pouring water, dipping the cups into the water, and watching the water pass through the sieve. Consider adding bath drops that change the color of the water. When it's time to get your child out of the tub, ask them to choose what clothes they'd like to wear once they've dried off. Remember that your toddler can try to dry themselves with the towel too. If your child tolerated or even enjoyed the bath, give them lots of verbal praise. For example, say, "You were so great when I washed your hair! Thanks!"

If your toilet doesn't flush properly after one flush, don't flush again. This will cause more water to be pumped into the toilet bowl. Instead, take the lid off of the toilet tank and close the toilet flapper. Closing the flapper will keep more water from entering the bowl.  The flapper looks like a circular drain stopper attached to a chain. The water in the tank isn't dirty, so it's fine to stick your hand inside to close the flapper. In case splashing occurs, place newspapers or paper towels on the floor to soak up liquid. The paper will make for easier cleanup later. You should also turn on the ventilation fan or open a window to rid the area of foul odors.  If the clog is serious, put on a pair of rubber gloves. Toilets are unsanitary, but a good pair of rubber cleaning gloves will protect you from any germs within. Choose gloves that reach up to your elbows. You may also want to put on an old set of clothing, just in case things get messy. If you can see the cause of the clog, reach in and remove it from the toilet if possible. If you can't clear it with your hands, but you know there's an object (such as a child's toy) causing the clog, skip the plunging and go straight to another method. It is important to use a large heavy-duty rubber plunger, either the ball-shaped type or one with a fold-out rubber flange on the bottom which forms a seal. Do not use the small cheap suction-cup type of plunger. These will often not work. Run the plunger under hot water before using it. This will soften it up, which will help with create a seal. Make sure the plunger completely covers the hole. The plunger should be submerged in water to be effective. It is important to be pushing and pulling water through the opening, not air. Add water from the sink to the bowl if necessary. Pump the plunger over the hole. Start slowly at first, since the first plunge will push air into the bowl. Push down, then pull up sharply to disturb the clog and loosen it. Continue vigorously pushing and pulling until the water begins to...

If your tooth is chipped, it is already weak; it can no longer support biting or chewing anything hard. Stick to soft foods to keep from exacerbating the damage. If possible, chew on the other side of your mouth. Chipped teeth can be very sensitive because their nerves are more exposed. Cold foods and beverages will make this problem worse. Eating cold foods may cause pain. If you find a food is irritating your tooth, stop eating it, as it may cause further damage. Dental cement and other similar materials are available over the counter, and they typically come with clear instructions. You simply place them over the fractured area. If your chipped tooth is bothering you, this might be worth a try.  Remember that these materials are only temporary; they are not meant to take the place of a visit to the dentist’s office. Make an appointment as soon as possible. Temporary materials wear away rather quickly. When this happens, it leaves your tooth extremely vulnerable to decay. If your chipped tooth has sharp and jagged edges, it can injure your cheeks and tongue. Placing dental wax over these edges will offer some protection from it. It can also help to protect your tooth from temperature sensitivity.  Keep in mind that dental wax is very temporary. It falls off frequently, requiring you to replace it again and again. As with filling materials, it does not take the place of professional dental care. If you have it on hand, you can also try placing a bit of sugarless gum over any sharp edges. If you are in pain, a cold compress can help. Simply wrap some ice in a towel and place it gently on your cheek. This will help to numb the pain.  Never apply cold compresses directly to your chipped tooth; this will intensify your pain rather than relieving it. Try a bag of frozen food if you have nothing else handy. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, will temporarily alleviate your discomfort. Follow the instructions on the label. Even though these should not cause any complications with pain...

If your tree is unhealthy, it's more likely to die from shock while being replanted. If your tree is dehydrated or diseased, try to treat its ailment as much as possible before moving it.  Trees older than 3 years are more likely to suffer damage while being transplanted.  Amateur gardeners should not attempt to transplant trees with a trunk diameter larger than 2 inches (5.1 cm). Large trees should be replanted by a landscape contractor or nursery professional. The best time to replant a tree is in late fall or winter, when the tree is dormant and less likely to experience trauma. If your tree is healthy and does not immediately need replanting, keep it in its original location until its dormant season. from the ground. Using a shovel, remove the topsoil surrounding the roots nearest to the tree's base. These roots will form the tree's root ball, and you will transplant it with the tree trunk. Dig underneath the root ball and pull the tree up and out of the ground.  Dig up 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) of root ball for every 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the tree's trunk diameter. Water the soil 24 hours before you remove the tree to make digging it out easier. Using a small shovel, dig away all soil clumps from the root ball. Wrap the entire ball in untreated natural burlap, and stitch it tightly around the tree with an upholstery needle and untreated natural twine. As you transport the tree to its new location, grab it by the base of the trunk. Grip it above the root ball to prevent breaking the roots. If the tree is too heavy for you to carry, put it in a cart or wheelbarrow. If possible, replant the tree the same day that you removed it from the ground. Your tree is less likely to sustain shock and reject its new climate if you put it back into the soil immediately. Don't wait any longer than several days to a week to replant your tree.

If your tree was thriving in its old location, you should choose a place with the same soil type, weather conditions, and shade levels as the last hole. Research what conditions your tree does best in if you are removing the tree to improve its health. If the hole is too deep, water is more likely to pool in the hole when you water your tree and cause root rot. You should dig the hole, however, about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) wider than the original hole so you can add more mulch and topsoil. Call your utility companies before you dig and ask them to mark their lines to avoid hitting a gas, electrical, or water line. Plating your tree with the burlap wrapping intact can restrict oxygen to the roots. This, in turn, can cause girdling which will eventually kill the tree. To avoid this, completely remove the burlap wrapping before replanting your tree in the new hole. To avoid damaging the tree, do not drop it into the hole. Replanting is often traumatic for trees, and they need to be positioned gently into the hole. Lower it into the hole and adjust it so the trunk stays upright. Place your shovel handle on the ground and across the hole. The top of the root ball should be level with the top of the hole. If the root ball is too deep into the ground, remove it and shovel some dirt back into the hole until the root ball is level. Your replanted tree will need plenty of organic matter and nutrients to adapt to its new location. Purchase topsoil, compost, or a blend of the two from a plant nursery. Shovel the topsoil in around the tree's roots until you fill the hole to the top. Ask the topsoil seller if you can see its soil makeup—a loamy topsoil with an even mixture of sand, silt, and clay is ideal for replanting trees.

If your whooping cough infection is diagnosed by your doctor in time (within two to three weeks) antibiotics such as erythromycin can make your symptoms go away more quickly because they can directly kill the Bordetella pertussis bacterial strain. However, most people are diagnosed too late (beyond three weeks), when antibiotics tend to be relatively ineffective. Ask your doctor if you're a good candidate to take antibiotics for whooping cough or not.  Even if it's too late to make much difference in your symptoms, taking antibiotics can help reduce the risk of you spreading the disease to others. If your whooping cough is particularly severe, your family members may also be given antibiotics by your doctor for prevention. If you are given antibiotics (typically for two weeks), make sure to follow your doctor's directions exactly, even if you start to feel much better before finishing all the medication. In addition to antibiotics, you can also treat whooping cough holistically, but check with your doctor on which home remedies are most effective. Although many people with whooping cough try to use various types of cough syrups to reduce or suppress their symptoms, most are not helpful and can actually prevent getting rid of mucus build up. As such, avoid all cough mixtures, expectorants and suppressants. Instead, focus more on keeping well hydrated (lots of water) and breathing in clean air.  Drinking lots of purified water (at least eight 8-ounce glasses per day) helps wash mucus down so your airways aren't as clogged. Breathing clean air helps to reduce triggering coughing spells. Keep your home free of irritants such as tobacco smoke, cleaning products and fireplace fumes. The best way to prevent whooping cough is to vaccinate your child and get booster shots as an adolescent and adult. The pertussis vaccine is typically given to children in a combination vaccine that gives protection from two other diseases, diphtheria and tetanus. Consequently, the combo vaccine is known as the DTaP vaccine.  Five DTaP...

If your window shows a view of a forested backyard with lots of trees, you might consider hanging drapes that are a similar green shade as the trees. Choose colors that complement the outdoors, helping to blur the line between inside and outside.  If your window overlooks a skyline, you could use drapes that are the same color as the sky, or even a shade of the sunset. With this look, your windows will seem to disappear as the focus point is the outside view. To make your curtains stand out, select a fabric with a creative or abstract design. It could be a fabric with animals on it, symbols, patterns, or another type of loose design.  For example, if you’re trying to choose drapes for your child’s bedroom, pick out a fabric with zoo animals, the ABCs, or their favorite book characters on it. You can use curtains to easily and inexpensively change the style of any room. A ruffled curtain, either of a sheer material or solid fabric, is a great option if you’re trying to give your room a more dainty and soft look. Hang the ruffled curtain on a rod, or install nicely-designed hooks on each side of the window to hang them on. Use a level to measure where the hooks should go if using them, and install them using a drill and screws designed for the hooks. If you have an item in the room that’s already the focal point, create curtains or drapes of the same color. This will give the room a bold and inviting look and will make choosing a color super easy. For example, if there’s a large painting in the room of the ocean, consider getting drapes that are the same color as the waves. A bold color will create a focal point for your room if you don’t already have one. This works especially well for rooms with mostly neutral-colored items in them, but can be a great contrast for other bold-colored items. Go for bold colors such as red, royal blue, pink, green, or bright yellow. Soft colors will make the room appear lighter and more open. Aim for colors such as white, light gray, or tan to create this effect. Blinds made out...

If your workplace doesn't already have a protocol in place for dealing with needlestick injuries, create one. This information is freely available on any telephonic helpline or is physically available at pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and other medical care centers. The World Health Organization recommends the following for workplaces dealing with needle sharps:   Hand wash after direct contact with patients. Use protective barriers such as gloves, gowns, aprons, masks, and goggles when in direct contact with blood and other body fluids. Collect and dispose of needles and sharps safely. Use puncture- and liquid- proof boxes in each patient care area. Prevent two-handed recapping of needles. Use the one handed needle capping technique. Cover all cuts and abrasions with a waterproof dressing. Promptly and carefully clean up spills of blood and other body fluids with gloves on. Use a safe system for health care waste management and disposal. Tattoo parlors, piercing shops, and many other types of workplaces also put workers at risk for needlestick injuries. Take the following precautions:  Wear appropriate clothing and protective gear when handling potentially dangerous items such as garbage bags or picking up piles of garbage. Take care when sticking your hands into places you cannot see, such as sinks of water, holes, the backs of beds and sofas, etc. Wear solid footwear when walking through or working in areas known for drug-use, such as parks, beaches, public transportation hubs, etc. Concentrate on your work and on what you are currently doing at all times.  Avoid looking away or working in bad light while dealing with the needle stick. Be careful with restless or panicking patients who can easily move as you insert or withdraw the needle. Reassure them and only insert the needle when you're sure it is safe to do so.

If your works cited page citation includes an author’s name, use it for your in-text citation. Start with an open parenthesis, then the author’s last name, followed by a comma. For example, if your instructor’s name is Anita Smith, the first part of your citation should look like this: “(Smith,” If you’re not using an instructor/author name on your works cited page, list the institution where you took the course. It should follow the same format as if you were using an instructor’s name. For example, if you don’t have an instructor’s name on your works cited page, but you took the course at The University of Michigan, you would write “(The University of Michigan,” This should match the year you list on your reference page for the course. You don’t need to indicate the semester you took the course, just the year. If you took the course in 2013, you would write “(Smith, 2013” or “(The University of Michigan, 2013” To end your in-text citation, you’ll need to indicate which pages you’re referencing in your text. It might be 1 page or multiple pages, and that’s fine, as long as you list them all. Write a lower-case “p,” followed by a period, and then the page number. Then end the citation with a closed parenthesis.  For example, if the information you’re citing is on page 1 of the syllabus, you would write “(Smith, 2013, p. 1).” or “(The University of Michigan, 2013, p. 1).” If you’re citing more than one page, use “pp.” instead of “p.” So your citation would look like this: “(The University of Michigan, 2013, pp. 4-5).”

If your zipper is shoddily constructed, or if it’s not sewn in well, you may damage it by using too much pressure with the boot stretcher. Make sure you are using a stretcher designed for the calf of a boot and not one for the toes or instep. A calf stretcher will look tall and thin. You don’t have to use a stretching spray, but it will help soften the fabric and you will achieve better results. Depending on the style of boot stretcher, you may have a lever or there may be a small wheel in the center. Use these to adjust the stretcher until it fits snugly in the calf of the boot. For best results, you want to leave the stretcher in for as long as possible. If you sprayed your boots with stretching spray, you’ll want to leave the stretcher in until the spray dries.

If you’d prefer to buy a sauce for the steamed eggplant, look for a Chinese garlic or ginger sauce. You can also buy chili oil and sprinkle it on the steamed eggplant to season it. You can then serve the eggplant on its own as a side dish or a light snack. Put the eggplant on a bed of white rice and add tofu to make it a main dish that is vegetarian. You can also serve the eggplant with beef, chicken, or pork as a main dish.

If you’ll be playing on a natural grass pitch where it doesn’t rain too regularly, you should use a pair of firm ground shoes.  Firm ground shoes usually have ten or more long studs that are distributed evenly throughout the bottom rim of the shoe.  They provide a sufficient amount of traction for normal playing conditions.  The studs can either be conical or blade shaped.  Conical studs are rounded at the bottom.  They allow a player to have flexibility of motion. Blade shaped studs become thinner at the bottom of the shoe.  They’re designed to dig into the pitch and give a player better traction.  However, they don’t offer quite as much flexibility as conical studs because it’s harder to remove them from the ground.  Firm ground shoes are the safest shoes to buy if you don’t know what type of field you’ll be playing on.  They’re considered acceptable for many different playing conditions. If you’ll be playing on a pitch where it rains often you’ll need to wear a pair of soft ground cleats.  The studs on a soft ground cleat are similar to those on a firm ground cleat.  However, there is usually only about six of them and they are strategically placed so the shoe can offer maximum traction.  The studs on a soft ground cleats can also be conical or blade shaped. On soft ground shoes, there will be two blades in the back of the shoe on either side of the heel and four blades positioned on the front of the shoe (two on either side about an inch from each other) to maintain balance. Soft ground shoes should only be used on soft surfaces.  Wearing them in other conditions can lead to injury. Hard ground shoes are designed to give players traction and balance on surfaces where much of the grass has been worn down leaving only the rigid ground beneath it.  The bottom of a hard ground cleats is covered in small, flat studs.  Unlike those of firm ground and soft ground cleats, the studs on a hard ground cleat are spread out over the entire bottom of the shoe.  Hard ground cleats are not designed to dig into the...

If you’re a chronic procrastinator or you just can’t seem to get started, beating yourself up about it will only make things worse. Don’t lay blame on yourself or try to give yourself punishments as a form of motivation. These types of behaviors can be exhausting and distracting. Instead, be gentle with yourself when you’re having a hard time. Acknowledge the problem but remind yourself that it’s okay and that you’re working on improving. Avoid comparing yourself to other classmates who seem to be doing well. Everyone learns and works differently, so focus on your own needs and capabilities and don’t worry about how everyone else is doing. Try freewriting or journaling to explore your anxieties about your studies or the specific factors that are preventing you from getting started. Or let off some steam with a friend or classmate. Once you’ve gotten these stressors out of your system, set your negative feelings aside. Take a deep breath and tell yourself it’s time to shift your frame of mind so you can get to work. If it helps to vent to a friend, just make sure they’re willing to listen and you’re not going to distract them from their own studies. Once you’ve established a study plan, talk it over with a friend, classmate, or family member. Let them know that you just want to quickly walk through your plan and work through any challenges or roadblocks ahead of time. Ask them to be your accountability buddy and check in on your progress once in a while, or just let them know that you’ll be in touch once you’ve completed a few goals.  Even though studying is a personal, solitary task, being accountable to someone else can be a great motivator. Pair up with a classmate or roommate so you can both hold each other accountable for your studies. Or tell a friend that you’ll be able to meet up with them only if you finish your goals by 9 PM. You’d hate to disappoint your friend and miss out on the fun, so use your desire to avoid this consequence to fuel your studies. Unless working with others creates more of a...

First, read the English article below.

If you’re a school official and a teacher has been reported for incompetence or misconduct, giving them a warning is generally the first step. Most states will require this, especially if the teacher has tenure. You can do this verbally, but you may want to consider giving them a written warning, depending on the severity of the misconduct report.  If the teacher is still within their probationary period (usually their first three years as employees) and haven’t attained tenure, it’s possible that they can be dismissed outright.  If the teacher has tenure, terminating them becomes a lot more difficult. Unless they’ve done something lewd, immoral or criminal, they have a right to a warning and a chance to improve the bad behavior. Many states will want the teacher to not only receive a warning but also be given resources to help them improve. If you want to make sure you’re understood, provide written documents with suggested resources and actions clearly spelled out.  Keep a copy of these documents in the teacher's file so that you can access them. It’s highly likely you’ll be asked to prove that you provided resources and specific suggestions. The teacher will need to be evaluated, especially in the case of incompetence. Your school district and possibly even the state may have specific evaluation requirements, so familiarize yourself with those rules. For example, in Ohio, school officials must first schedule two 30-minute observations. During those observations, evidence needs to be gathered that supports the grounds for possible dismissal.  In addition, the teacher must also be provided with written copies of very detailed plans for improvement. Investigate your school’s criteria and follow it accordingly. You should have a file already created for the teacher in question. Document everything – complaints, absences, what was found in the evaluations, and anything else that has to do with that teacher. If you’re intent on terminating the teacher, you will be asked to provide all the evidence and...

If you’re able to, substitute a laptop for a pen and paper. Typing can be much faster and easier than writing, and you’ll be able to give your callus a break. If you’re in school and laptops aren’t allowed, try only to write in class when you really need you, then type all of your homework. Writing on a hard surface can make your marks darker with less effort. In turn, that means you can loosen your grip. You can also use a clipboard or other hard, flat surface to go under pages in a notebook. If endless note-taking is causing your writer’s callus, take less notes. Use a laptop, smart-phone or digital recorder to capture the audio from a lecture, then replay it later instead of having to reread notes. Calluses go away on their own after a few weeks of rest, so you should see a huge change after a semester of recording lectures. You can also use a dictation software that automatically types out what a speaker is saying. This gives you the added benefit of having both typed and recorded notes in a single step without having to write anything. Just like typing and recording, developing your mental recall will prevent you from having to write as much. Improve your memory by playing brain-exercise games, creating mnemonic devices (where words stand for the first letters of information you want to remember), getting more sleep, or just practice paying more attention. With a little practice and effort, you’ll be able to save your fingers some stress.

If you’re afraid of water, you don’t want to start by facing an ocean with high surf. Instead, go to a pool where the water temperature, depth, and flow is controlled.  You want to limit any other discomforts you might feel, like freezing water or lots of spectators, so find a body of water that is comfortable in every other way besides your fear of the deeps. It’s also probably best to opt for clear water so that you can see the bottom. Dark or opaque waters can add to your anxiety about the deeps. A calm bay or lake might also work if you prefer to be outside. However, ideally, you’ll choose a body of water that has a gradual descent so that you can enter it slowly. If your fear embarrasses you, you might find that it’s easier to have a trained professional like a swimming instructor or lifeguard there who knows water safety and how to deal with water-shy people. At the very least, you should have a responsible person who is willing to support your efforts without pressuring or making fun of you. For the sake of calming your fears, it’s best if you choose someone who is an experienced swimmer and comfortable in the water. Go in as far as you can, noting the point where you first get nervous. If you do feel a jab of fear, stop where you are and breathe deeply for a few counts before turning back towards the shallows. Now, walk in slow circles through the water, starting in the shallows and gradually increasing the circumference of your path so that you’re pushing yourself to go slightly deeper each time.  Take this process as slowly as you need to. Some people may be able to work their way up to depths that are over their head within a few hours. Others might need to spread this process out over a longer period of time, going from knee-deep one day to waist-deep the next and so on. Keep reminding yourself that you are in control of this process. While it’s good to keep pushing yourself further if you can, you should stop immediately if you feel like you’re losing control. If you can, reorient your engagement...

If you’re afraid that your outfit isn’t dressy enough for the office, try throwing on a beautiful piece of jewelry to take it up a notch. For example, leggings paired with an oversized sweater may look too casual alone. Throw on a chunky statement necklace, and you’ve taken it from relaxed to trendy.  When looking for work-appropriate jewelry, consider things like statement necklaces and chunky bracelets. Avoid things like noisy bangles that might be distracting, as well as overly large earrings that may be a bit too flashy for the workplace. Bangles, watches, flashy earrings, and layered necklaces are all great options to dress up a legging outfit. Your leggings should just be part of your outfit, and certainly not the focus point. Accessorizing can add some sophistication and style to an outfit that may be a bit plain on its own. Try adding a fun belt over a dress or oversized cardigan. In the colder months, pop a chic scarf around your neck. When you're selecting accessories for this look, think dressy. For example, choose a silk scarf over a chunky knit scarf. Casual accessories will make your entire outfit look casual, while dressier accessories will elevate your look, and hide the fact that you're wearing leggings! Your favorite black leggings will look much different paired with patent leather heels than they do with your running shoes. Knee-high boots and ballet flats can also transform your look, making your leggings look polished and professional. By pairing the typically sporty leggings with fancier, more feminine footwear, you can easily take your leggings from the gym to the office. Consider grounding your leggings with some tall boots for a preppy and professional look. It's not always possible to do a gorgeous full face of makeup with perfectly-styled hair every single day, but it's important that you put a bit more effort into your hair and makeup when you wear leggings to work. Remember, it's all about balance. By taking a bit of time to enhance your features with makeup and make your hair...

If you’re already driving and hail starts to come down, look for the closest cover for your car. Freeway overpasses and gas stations with canopies are great options for last-minute coverage if you're caught in your car when hail starts. Your windshield tends to be made of stronger glass than the windows on the side of your car. If you're driving and it begins to hail, drive into the hail, so it hits your windshield instead of your side windows. If a storm is blowing in from the east, parking your car on the west side of a large building can protect it from hail. Strong winds might blow the hail right past your car.

If you’re already worried about feeling awkward or standing out at the gym, there’s nothing worse than aimlessly walking through the gym. To avoid this, make a specific workout plan before you get to the gym. Decide in advance which machine you’ll start with, which free weights you’ll use, and how many sets and reps you plan to complete with different weights. Making plans of your workout can reduce your anxiety by preparing you for exactly what you will be doing. It can be intimidating and mentally exhausting to spend a few hours at a gym if you’re not used to working out around large groups. Help cut back on your social anxiety by keeping your workouts brief at first. You can begin by going to the gym twice a week, for only 30 minutes each time. As you start feeling more comfortable at the gym and your social anxiety decreases, you can start staying for longer workouts and visiting the gym more often during the week. If you’re concerned about working out next to strangers in a crowded gym, ease yourself into the experience by visiting the gym when it’s slow. Visit the gym early in the morning during the mid-afternoon when most people are still at work, or late at night. Be sure to check a new gym’s operating hours online before you show up for an early morning or late-night workout. Music will give you something to focus on, and can pump you up and excite you for your workout. It can also help you relax or reduce your anxiety as you exercise. With earbuds in, you’ll feel less concerned with what other people around you are doing, and be able to focus better on the machine or weights that you’re using.  Make a playlist of upbeat, energetic songs that will give you energy and help motivate your workout. Remember to have polite gym etiquette when listening to music. Don’t turn it up so loud that others can hear, and pause the music if you remove your headphones or earbuds. When you feel anxious, you may notice your body’s physical responses, which may include blushing, sweating, or shaking. You may fear that...

If you’re at a gym, face a stretch bar or the vertical beam of a weight machine. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees loose. Reach out and grab the stretch bar with your left hand. If you do not have a stretch bar, use the frame of an open door, the edge of a desk, or any other stationary, steady object between waist and chest height.  You’ll start by stretching the ligaments in the right half of your lower body, so you’ll need to grab the stretch bar with your left hand to maintain proper balance. Later on when you are stretching the ligaments in the left side of your lower body, you’ll grab the bar with your right hand. Slowly bend your right knee and lift your right foot toward your back. Keep bending the right leg until you reach the end of the leg’s natural bending range. Grasp your right foot with it with your right hand, and exert gentle pressure to bend your knee a little farther.  In this stance, you should be able to stretch ligaments in your quads (thighs) and knees. You should feel the muscles in both areas stretch to the point of mild discomfort, but not to the point of pain. Your back and left leg should remain straight, but do not lock your left knee. Every part of your body other than your lower right leg should continue facing the bar. Keep your leg bent back for 30 seconds to ensure that the complex ligaments in your knee get a full stretch. Then, gradually lower your bent leg back down to the floor. The first 15 to 20 seconds of the stretch will target the muscles, but afterward, the muscles will relax and the ligaments will begin to stretch. Avoid making sudden or jerky movements when you lower your leg, since they may cause more damage to the area. If you really yank on your foot while attempting to stretch the ligaments in your quads and knees, you could tear the ligament in half. Not only is this very painful, but a torn ligament takes months to heal. Excessive and frequent ligament stretching can be counterproductive and can in fact weaken the joints that you’ve...

If you’re bathing your bird or allowing her to bathe herself, make sure she is in a warm space. This can keep her healthy and allows her to bathe and dry properly. Avoid areas that are cold or drafty. Many birds will bathe themselves without human help. Place a bath in your bird’s cage or in a place where she roams freely. Allow her to bathe herself or gently put her in the water to encourage her to clean herself.  Consider different types of baths such as shower perches, spray bottles, your kitchen sink, or a cage mounted bath bowl. Some birds will even rub themselves against wet branches as a cleaning method.  Fill the container with 1-2 inches of water so your bird can walk and preen as she likes.  Use lukewarm to room temperature water for your bird’s bath to keep her from chilling.  Avoid forcing your bird to bathe.  Use soap only in cases where your bird is oily and supervised by you. Depending on how dirty your bird is, you may be able to clean her simply by misting her with water. Water is generally considered the most appropriate feather spray. Gently spray your bird with a light mist of water until she appears clean.  Make sure the spray is a mist or has very light pressure so that you don’t hurt your bird. For example, some birds may enjoy the spray from a sink.  Spray her every day or whenever it’s necessary.  Avoid misting or spraying water directly in your bird’s face.  Buy a commercial bird cleansing spray if you like, though this is generally unnecessary. In most cases, you should not wash your bird with soap. However, she may get into oil or some other substance that comes off only with soap. Use a mild soap and gently bathe your bird to clean her.  Make sure your bird is stable enough to wash with soap.  Fill a container with an inch or two of water. Add a low concentration dishwashing liquid like Dawn, which has been shown to effectively and easily remove oils without irritating birds’ eyes or skin.

If you’re buying inventory, search for small-scale creators on fashion blogs or on platforms like Etsy. Their products will be the most unique and authentic, and will likely be cheaper as well. Be choosy about what you carry, as your products are the biggest reflection of your brand, but don’t be afraid to take a risk on an unusual item if you think it fits well with your brand. Make a couple small purchases from a seller before you buy a large stock, in case the products are poorly-made or falsely advertised. If you’re looking to expand your inventory to include slightly larger designers, check out fashion trade shows and events. These shows are held every year in different parts of the world, but especially in fashion industry capitals like Los Angeles and New York City. Look online to find a complete list of fashion trade shows.  Talk to any designer whose style would mesh well with your brand, from a bigger name to a less-established one. Explain that you’re starting your own boutique and that this is an exciting time for them to be noticed by a brand new set of customers. Although these designers might be more established than those you’d find only online, you should continue prioritize quality and style over name brand. You might love a designer’s work and admire them personally, but if their style doesn’t mesh well with the rest of your boutique, it will likely not sell well in the long run. Reaching out directly to designers will show that you’re serious about your boutique, even though you’re just starting out. Look for a designer’s contact information on their website and call them to ask about making an appointment in person, or over phone or video chat. Ask for a lookbook to get a better idea of the designer’s style. Use models if possible, since your customers want to know how clothes will look on a person rather than a hanger or a mannequin. Try to hire a professional photographer if possible, or do it yourself if you own a good camera. Place your models against a white background and make sure...

Call your doctor right away if you have symptoms such as a persistent, dull pain in your side or in one side of your back, a fever, body aches, fatigue, or nausea and vomiting. Let them know if you’ve recently had a urinary tract infection.  Call emergency services or go to the emergency room if you have severe kidney pain that comes on suddenly, or if you have kidney pain along with blood in your urine. The dietary needs of people with kidney disease are different from those of people with healthy kidneys. Before you start making changes to your diet, talk to your doctor about the health of your kidneys and find out which foods are safe and beneficial for you. For example, most people can benefit from adding more potassium to their diet, and getting enough potassium may help prevent the development of kidney stones. However, if you have kidney disease, eating foods high in potassium can be harmful. Before taking any dietary or supplement or herb, it’s very important to talk to your doctor about the possible risks and benefits. Some supplements can interact dangerously with medications, and they can also make your condition worse if you already have kidney disease.

If you’re cutting through several pieces of styrofoam at once, or through a single piece that is several inches (several centimeters) thick, an electric knife is your best bet.  They’re best for making straight cuts, but they could also help you make a gently curving cut. Foam cutting saws are the best option for cutting through large bricks of styrofoam like those used to package televisions and other large appliances.  However, they’re also the most expensive option, and tend to range from about $150 to $400 USD.  Generally, you can just turn the saw on and press the piece of styrofoam you wish to cut into the blade, keeping your hands clear of it.  Consult manufacturer directions for the particular type of saw you’re using. When using a power saw to cut styrofoam, wear a dust mask and safety goggles.  Power saws can create a "foam dust" that is similar to sawdust, but can irritate the lungs if inhaled. Hot wire cutters melt through the foam with a heated wire, creating a smooth edge.  They are especially effective for creating rounded edges or shapes out of styrofoam.  Apply slow, consistent pressure with the hot wire cutter along the desired cutting line.  Moving too fast through the foam will cause the wire to snap. Use extreme caution when operating a hot wire cutter because the wires are extremely hot and can cause severe burns. Hot wire cutters are great because they leave behind the fewest styrofoam crumbs and produce the smoothest cuts.

If you’re diabetic, you should have your doctor look at a nail infection before attempting to treat it on your own. Diabetes can interfere with your body’s ability to fight infections, so your doctor might recommend an antibiotic or antifungal medication. If you’ve soaked the affected area for a week and symptoms persist or worsen, your doctor might recommend antibiotics or an antifungal medication. Schedule an appointment and have them examine the infection. They might order a culture to determine the best treatment method. Call your doctor promptly if you notice an abscess, or a painful, pus-filled lesion. They’ll numb the area, make a small incision to drain the abscess, then dress the wound with gauze and a bandage. Change the dressing 2 to 3 times a day, and keep the area bandaged for 2 days.  An abscess looks like a swollen mass and is tender or painful to touch. Without an abscess, your finger might only feel swollen and throb. If you have an abscess, the swelling will be worse and more painful, and it'll feel like it's filled with something. As an abscess develops, it might start to come to a head like a pimple and seep pus. Never try to drain an abscess on your own. You could expose the area to more germs or cause the infection to spread. If you’ve had an abscess drained, keep it dressed and change the bandages regularly for 2 days. After 2 days, remove the bandage, and soak the area in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes 3 to 4 times a day until your symptoms improve. You should notice healing after 2 days and might not need a bandage. If your skin is still broken and you want to protect it, bandage it after soaking. If you desire, keep bandaging it until the wound has closed. Depending on your symptoms’ severity and culture results, your doctor might prescribe antibiotics after draining an abscess or to treat persistent symptoms. Take any prescriptions according to their instructions. Keep taking your medicine for as long as they prescribe, even if you feel better. Stopping antibiotics early could...

If you’re doing small, intricate designs on your foam, use a paint brush. Small artist paint brushes are great if you need control when decorating your foam project. These paint brushes are around 5–10 in (13–25 cm) long, and you can get them from an art store or general store for around $2 (£1.42). Many general stores also sell sets of them for around $5 (£3.55).  For detailed work and thin lines, choose a “round” tip brush. For thick, heavy color and short strokes, use a “bright” tip brush. For filling wide spaces, try a “flat” brush. For filling corners, an “angular flat” brush is best. Choose the colors you’d like and squeeze them onto a flat palette. Keep them separate for now, but leave a small area in the middle of the palette for mixing colors. Water-based acrylic paint will dry faster than other methods, making it easier for you to apply multiple layers of paint on your foam. Dip your dry paint brush into the paint and paint the foam. Don't be worried if the paint seeps into the foam, leaving white space; you'll follow up with another coat later. Dip your brush into a cup of water and swirl it around before switching colors. Dry it off with a paper towel before choosing a new color. Let it dry for at least 15 minutes, though an hour will ensure that it gets perfectly dry. If you don't let your foam dry before applying another coat, your paint brush may just move the old paint around instead of applying the new paint. Reapply paint in the same manner as before until you can't see white spots through the paint. Applying multiple coats will help the paint penetrate the porous surface of the foam. Acrylics dry quickly, but you should still give your project at least an hour before handling it with bare hands. Turning up the heat in your working area will help the drying process go faster. Fill a disposable cup with warm, soapy water and dunk your brush in when finished. Swirl the brush around and wipe the paint away with your fingers. Set your brush out to dry in a well-ventilated space. Always wash your...

If you’re ever unsure whether or not a product is right for your skin type or cleansing and moisturizing needs, doctors can give you recommendations and even prescribe treatments to get your skin glowing. Dermatologists may also be able to offer in-office treatments that improve the appearance of skin or help with various skin concerns.  Ask your dermatologist for recommendations on products and treatments you can do at home. Make sure your dermatologist walks you through all steps of at-home skin care. Ask the doctor, "What specifically should I do to care for my skin every morning/evening/throughout the day?" Take notes about specific care products. Be open and honest about your budget, so the doctor can make recommendations that fit your needs and are affordable. Your dermatologist or a professional esthetician can administer injections of this medication. For most people, this almost instantly minimizes the size of pimples, and can be used regularly to clear up acne, bug bites, rashes, eczema, and other chronic skin conditions. This is no longer the face-freezing treatment it used to be. You can even ask your dermatologist about “Botox Lite.” This is the placement of small amounts of Botox across the forehead (not just at the creased areas around eyes) that gives the eyes and forehead a smoother overall appearance without the frozen look people dread. Botox treatment cost between $100 and $200, and should be touched up two or three times each year. These treatments are fast and comfortable. Great for both oily and dry skin, they use crystals to remove dead and dying skin cells, revealing healthy new skin below. This also allows other products to penetrate more deeply for improved effectiveness. You can get these treatments form a  dermatologist or esthetician, but they may cost as much as $400. You can also remove dead skin at home using cleansers with exfoliating beads and skin brushes at least once each week. These products can cost as little as five dollars. Professional facials remove dead skin,...

If you’re feeling bad about something, trying to ignore your emotions won’t make them go away. Instead, take time to recognize what you’re feeling and acknowledge it without judging, analyzing, or trying to change it.  If you find yourself feeling anxious or sad about something that happened, take a few moments to mindfully reflect on what you are thinking and feeling. For example, “I’m really angry about the way my ex broke up with me. When I think about her, I feel tense and frustrated.” You might find it helpful to write down your feelings. Putting your feelings and thoughts into words can make them feel more manageable and help you pinpoint exactly what’s bothering you. It takes time to move on from a difficult or traumatic event, such as a breakup or the death of a loved one. Don’t put pressure on yourself to let it go or get over it before you’re ready. Allow yourself to feel your grief, anger, or anxiety as it comes, and remind yourself that you will not always feel the way you are feeling right now. After a loss or any other difficult experience, you will probably have ups and downs. Don’t be discouraged if you start to feel better one day, only to find yourself struggling again the next. This is a normal part of the healing process. While you may not be able to change your feelings, you can make the decision to live with them and work through them. When you’re lingering on the past and feeling terrible about it, make a conscious effort focus on the present and take life one moment at a time.  Concentrate on whatever specific thing you need to be doing in the moment. For example, if you’re having trouble getting your day started, say to yourself, “Okay, time to eat some breakfast.” Don’t worry about what comes next until you have gotten breakfast out of the way. If someone has mistreated you, it’s normal and understandable to feel hurt by their actions. However, blaming another person for your emotions can leave you feeling powerless. You may have good reasons for feeling hurt, but remind yourself...

If you’re feeling really stuck when you sit down to write, try a word association exercise to help engage your imagination. Open a dictionary, pick a word at random, and write down everything that comes to mind on the topic. This can be a good way to loosen up before you start writing, and you might even find a story idea as you’re reading through the list of words you came up with.  Choose something like “freedom,” and write everything that reminds you of freedom, such as birds, flying, or open sky. If you’re writing a report, do word association with the topic you want to write about. This can help you narrow down the focus of your paper before you even start researching. For instance, if you’re assigned to write about Abraham Lincoln, you might write words like “top hat,” “penny,” “Lincoln memorial,” “assassination,” “John Wilkes Booth,” “Gettysburg Address,” “Emancipation Proclamation,” and “Lincoln-Douglas debates.” Then, you might choose the area you’re most interested in as your topic. to generate ideas. Freewriting helps you get words on the page, regardless of theme or intention of the piece. Choose a topic, open up to a fresh page, and write. Don’t worry about what you are writing, just focus on filling the page. You can come back to your writing and expand upon it later, or do this just get the gears turning for your next piece.  Write a narrative or free associations. You can write for a certain amount of time or until you fill up a certain number of pages. This is your choice. For example, you might choose to write about tigers. Write everything that comes to mind about tigers, such as when you saw them at the zoo when you were 5, or what it would be like to be a tiger in the jungle. You could use this for a blog post on tigers, or simply to get ideas for your new novel. Music can help you concentrate, and it can also inspire your creativity, allowing you to think of new ideas. Turn on your favorite music, or try a new genre, like folk, classical, or instrumental. Then, think about your writing...

If you’re feeling slightly sick, consider doing some light activity. It can boost your circulation and may help the cells and substances of your immune system work more efficiently. However, instead of diving straight into a workout, make sure that you’re not too sick to exercise. Easy ways to identify if you are healthy enough to do light exercise to boost your immunity include:  Your symptoms are “above the neck,” such as runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, or minor sore throat. Your symptoms are not “below the neck,” such as chest congestion, hacking cough or upset stomach. You are not fatigued or have widespread muscle aches. You don’t have a fever. You don’t have a stiff neck (which can be sign of meningeal irritation). You don’t have enlarged spleen (which can happen with mononucleosis). If you are not too sick and want to workout, go easy on yourself. Reducing the time and intensity of your workout can help boost your immunity without making you feel worse.  Switch up your usual routine and try an easier activity. For example, if you usually run, try brisk walking. Biking can be a good replacement for swimming. Avoid pushing yourself, even if you feel fine while working out. This can increase your risk of more serious injury or illness. If you decide to exercise when you’re ill, it’s important to let your body guide you. Take breaks if you need to, or stop your workout if you feel worse.  Remember to do a light warm up before your workout. This can help you gauge if you feel well enough to continue exercising. Watch for symptoms such as rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, chest pain, wheezing, feeling faint, or worsening body aches. If you have any of these, stop exercising and seek medical attention. Rest is a key component to any exercise regimen as well as your immunity. No matter if you are sick or not, give your body a chance to rest and recover. This can help your body build muscle and heal. Give yourself at least one full day of rest to promote your immunity-boosting workouts. If you are...

If you’re feeling stressed or angry because of your cousin’s behavior, take a few deep, cleansing breaths to help you calm down before you do anything else. Breathe in through your nose to the count of 5, then hold for 5 seconds, and breathe out through your mouth to the count of 5. Repeat this deep breathing exercise until you feel calm. If you’re able, you might even want to leave the room for a few minutes or take a walk around the block to calm down. Whether your cousin is teasing you or doing something that you find annoying, let them know that you’d like them to stop. Say it in a direct manner so there’s no mistaking what you want them to do. Keep your voice calm and avoid yelling when you ask them to stop.  For example, you might say something like, “Joe, can you please stop making that sound? It’s really getting on my nerves.” Or you might say, “Gina, stop teasing me about my braces. Lots of people have braces. It’s really not a big deal.” If your cousin is teasing you and trying to get a reaction out of you, you might be able to stop them by laughing at what they’re saying. Don’t show that what they’re saying bothers you at all. Just laugh at their comments instead.  For example, if your cousin says your new outfit is ugly, laugh at the comment and respond with something like, “Sure, okay, Charlotte.” Then, go about your business and act like their comment didn't bother you. This can be hard to do sometimes, especially if their words actually hurt your feelings. It’s okay to feel upset and if you can’t bring yourself to laugh because your feelings are hurt, go to an adult and tell them what happened. If your cousin keeps doing what they’re doing even after you ask them to stop, you might need to bring an adult into the situation. Try telling a parent or guarding what’s going on and ask for their help. This is especially important to do if your cousin is physically hurting or threatening you.  For example, you might say, “Mom, Charlie keeps making fun of my hair and I’ve asked him nicely to stop.” Or...

If you’re feeling tired or sore, adding more weight could leave you especially vulnerable to injury. Instead, wait for a day when you feel strong and energetic. A proper warm-up will increase the oxygen in your bloodstream and your muscles, helping reduce the risk of injury and helping prevent or relieve muscle soreness. Before you lift, try 5-10 minutes of light cardio activity, like push-ups, sit-ups, jogging on a treadmill, or riding a stationary bike. Adding too much weight too fast can cause you to injure yourself. You should increase the weight by no more than 10 percent at a time to your routine to ensure your body stays challenged. Compound lifts, like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, are great for working multiple muscle groups at once. Use heavier weights for these exercises. Don’t strain your body by lifting the absolute most you can every time. This will increase your risk of injury and can lead your body to plateau. Dial it back to about 90% of the most you can lift, then increase a little every 2-4 weeks. Give your body time to recover between sets when you increase your weights. If you normally rest 30-45 seconds between sets, try resting for 60-90 seconds instead. You may need to rest longer if you are performing compound exercises and lifting 90 percent of your maximum weight. Make sure you are alternating your exercises to ensure you equally balance all of your muscle groups. Think about training your pushing and pulling muscles (like your hamstrings vs your quads) equally, as well as balancing your arms, legs, chest, and back. Set up a schedule so you know what muscle group you’ll focus on each day.

If you’re getting a stack cake (typically, it’s three to five layers) from the bakery, you should put your order in at least six to eight weeks before the wedding. If you opt for a two- or three-tiered fake cake, you may also want to order a large eatable cake to act as the bottom layer. You’ll need a knife and a server, which resembles a spatula, to cut the cake. You can request a silver-plated knife and server set as a shower gift or ask your family if they have heirloom utensils to pass down. If not, your reception venue can lend you the cutlery needed. Talk to your future spouse about the way you’ll feed one another. Decide if you will share the first piece of cake in a polite or wild way. It’s important to have this conversation before the wedding so there are no surprises during your big moment.  Shoving the cake into your spouse's face is unbecoming and  becoming unpopular because it can spoil clothing, makeup, and the mood.. Even if you decide to carefully share the first slice with a fork or gingerly feed it to each other with your fingers, make sure there are napkins nearby.   No matter what approach you take, assign the DJ or someone with authority and a mic to announce when the cake is going to be cut so guests can watch the feat. Cutting the cake will be part of your reception’s entertainment. As such, you may want to make the most of it by adding music. If you plan to have a DJ, you may prearrange for a special song to played as you cut the cake.  Popular choices include:  “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies “How Sweet It Is” by James Taylor “Cut The Cake” by Average White Band

If you’re giving a massage at home, chances are you don’t have a massage table, but that is okay! Pick a spot that is clean and clear of clutter, and lay down a set of clean sheets for your partner to lay on. Don’t forget to grab 1 or 2 pillows for beneath their head, back, or knees as needed.  If the room isn’t clean, take 10 minutes to tidy up and put away clutter. Both you and your partner will feel more relaxed if the space is neat. Use 2 sheets—one for your partner to lay on top of, and 1 for them to put over themselves at the beginning of the massage in case they’re chilly. This will depend on your partner—if they always run cold, turn the temperature up a little bit so the room is warmer than usual. If they’re usually warm, turn it down so they’ll be cool and comfortable. A space heater or fan can help make a big difference in the room’s temperature if you don’t have much time. Glaring overhead lights won’t do much for the mood, so turn those off and use candles for lighting instead. If you need more lighting, turn on a lamp. You could even cover a lamp with a sheer scarf to dim the light even more. For a special touch, light your partner’s favorite scented candle. If you don’t want to turn your phone off, put it on “do not disturb” or airplane mode so that you won’t get any notifications during the massage. Put it off to the side or in a drawer so you won’t be tempted to check it. Ask your partner to do the same. Take this time as an opportunity to disconnect from work, school, and other commitments so you can focus on connecting with your partner. Avoid music with a fast or heavy beat. Instead, opt for instrumental or ambient music for a calming effect.  Check out whatever streaming service you use—many have pre-made playlists or stations that are made for relaxation. Search for “relaxing music” or “ambient music” to see what is available. “Zen,” “yoga,” and “meditation” are other keywords that could help you find the right music for the occasion.

If you’re going to be cooking with hot peppers and you don’t wear gloves, you may get what are called “hot pepper hands.”  Your hands will burn and sting, and you should take care not to touch your eyes after your hands contact chili oil! The best solution is to wear vinyl or latex gloves. You can be burned similarly by Thai chilis, serranos, or habaneros.  The burning comes from the chili oils and capsaicin that is contained in the peppers. It would be even worse if you touched your eyes with contact lenses in. You’ll have to deal with a burning sensation that is uncomfortable. Don’t have gloves lying around? It’s better to make gloves out of things you have lying around than to go without.  Put a plastic sandwich baggie over your hands before you cut the peppers. You might want to fasten it to your wrist with a rubber band. If you don't have gloves or plastic baggies, wrap your hands in paper towels - anything to prevent the chili oil from contacting bare skin. To protect your eyes, wear clear safety glasses and always wash your hands and nail beds thoroughly after handling hot peppers. It’s not fun to have a burning mouth, but there’s some evidence that eating chili peppers on a regular basis is good for your health.  Instead of reaching for the sugar, when your energy is lagging, reach for the chili peppers! However, just because you reduce the burning sensation in your mouth doesn’t mean that you won’t still get the metabolic boost from the capsaicin in the peppers; you likely will since the liver enzymes break it down. Capsaicin can increase both energy and metabolic levels, helping you to lose weight and generally be healthier.

If you’re going to cover your phone with a drying agent, you’ll need quite a bit of the substance. So, look in your cabinets and pull out a large empty pitcher, a big mixing bowl, or a large saucepan. Set all of the disassembled components of your phone into the bottom. You can leave out the phone plastic back cover. This isn’t crucial to the phone’s function and will air dry. Don’t be stingy with whatever drying agent you chose. You’ll need a substantial amount of it to pull the last remnants of water out of your phone’s electrical components. Put a lid over the container if you’re using an inedible drying agent like silica gel. It takes time for your phone to dry out to the point that it’s usable again. Let it sit in the drying agent for at least 48 hours. If you pull the phone out prematurely, you’ll end up reassembling it with water still lodged inside. If you need to use your phone during this time, you could ask a friend if you can briefly borrow their phone. Or, communicate through email and social media instead of texts and phone calls. Once 48-72 hours have passed, reach into the drying agent and pull out your phone. Shake off pieces of the drying agent, and put the battery, SIM card, and SD card back into your phone. Then, push the “power” button to turn your phone back on. If the phone won’t turn on after you’ve dried it—or if it turns on but barely works or the screen has been damaged—you’ll need to take it to a professional phone-repair company.

If you’re going to meet someone you admire or like for the first time, make sure you've researched about or found out a bit about them.  This will help you know how to connect to with them.You may also want to prepare yourself by listing out your good qualities on a sheet of paper before the meeting.  This will remind you that you are worthwhile too, no matter how the interaction goes. If you're around someone you admire or like, you may want to look on their social media to see what they like or ask a mutual friend. It may be tempting to lie about connections, positions, or even personality qualities in order to make yourself look better to someone you admire or like.  However, simply put, with the internet, it is often easy to find out any lies, especially if you are going to have a working relationship with the person for any amount of time.  Secondly, when you lie about your abilities or personality, it can make you less confident about yourself and make the interaction even more tense. For someone you like and may want to date, it is especially important not to lie, as dishonesty can quickly destroy trust in a relationship. Finding something in common is one of the quickest ways to make a connection.  While the research you have done about them will help you with this, it is important not to mirror them too much as this will make you seem creepy.  However, simply talking over a recent show or book that has come out can foster conversation.  Talking about common interests can also help connect you with a crush as well.
