Apply one stroke to the left side of each nail, one stroke to the center, and one stroke to the right side. This method will help you avoid getting polish on the skin next to your nails. Paint the nails of one hand and wait for them to dry before continuing onto the other hand. When painting your nails, try not to get any nail polish on the skin around your nail. If that does happen, immediately wipe it with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover. Do this on a nail-by-nail basis, before the paint has dried. Otherwise, it’ll be much harder to clean off the dried polish from your skin. If you want your nails to be a darker color, or if you want the polish to be more opaque, add another layer of polish. As before, paint each nail using three full strokes. Be careful, though; if you add too much polish, it will start to lump together on your nails and you’ll have to start over. Once you’ve painted a second layer of paint onto your nails, wait for them to dry. Once your layer(s) of polish have tried, apply topcoat over each nail. Topcoat will dry to form a hard, protective finish. This way, your nail polish won’t be scratched off the first time you bump your fingers against a hard surface. Both slow- and fast-setting topcoats will be available at a local drugstore or salon. Opt for the slow-setting; it will give your nails better protection and keep the colors bright for longer. Nail polish is a fun way to add extra flair or style to your look, and is a great way to make yourself feel bold and stylish. Even if most of your male friends don’t paint their nails, you can still wear the look confidently. Who knows, you may even start the next trend at your school! If you’re being harassed because you chose to paint your nails, you don’t have to change your behavior or stop painting them. If a bully makes snide comments about you behind your back or in a non-aggressive way, it’s best to ignore them. However, if the harassment has continued for months or if the bully gets in your face, calmly ask them to leave you...

Apply the cream shadow with a highlighter brush or fingertip. Creamy eyeshadow formulas will glide onto dry skin easily and provide a natural-looking glow.  If you have dry skin, the last thing you want to do is make it even drier. Powdered eyeshadow, just like regular face powder, can dry out your skin, emphasize wrinkles and create the least natural-looking results. Unlike powder, cream formulas won’t collect in wrinkles and folds, which tends to emphasize these imperfections. Apply liquid shadow with a fingertip and blend it with a clean makeup sponge. Liquid eyeshadows have a similar consistency to foundation and, in some cases, may be even thinner. These formulas glide on with very little effort.  These products are often sold in metallic shades that can create a very dramatic highlight. If you want to create an intense glow, opt for a liquid eyeshadow formula. Look for names that reference metallic substances, or use words like “glow” “moondust” or “glitter” on the packaging.

Apply the mulch in a ring a few inches (centimeters) away from the trunk. This will help the tree retain moisture and moderate soil temperature around the plant. Do not make the mulch ring any deeper than 3 inches (7.6 cm) to avoid suffocating the tree. Once you've replanted your tree, keep the soil moist by watering it afterward. Using a garden hose with a steady stream, water the tree for about 30 seconds at a time. Continue watering your tree 1-2 times a week, each time with 30-second soakings.  To avoid root rot, the tree's soil should be damp but not soggy. Water your tree twice a week during the summer or in hot climates. to the ground in windy climates. To prevent your tree from falling over while it's still taking root, stabilize it with stakes. Tie 2-3 stakes to your tree's trunk with elastic or tree straps and strike them into the ground using a hammer or mallet. Inspect the stakes regularly for damage. If the stakes appear broken, replace them. After replanting the tree, prune it only to remove dead or broken branches. If you want to remove large limbs or alter the tree's shape, wait at least a year. Fertilization is not recommended for newly transplanted trees because it is ineffective until your tree's roots reestablish. Wait at least 2 years before applying fertilizer—until then, stick to mulching and routine watering.

Apply to graduate programs that will prepare you for the career you have chosen. Complete either a master's or PhD program.  Most programs will include classroom work, research, fieldwork and supervised psychotherapy. Keep your career goals in mind as you pursue your degree. Choose classes that will help you learn as much as possible about the type of therapy in which you plan to specialize. The requirements for clinical experience vary according to the degree you obtain, but in most cases two years of experience working as a therapist in a clinic or private practice is mandatory before you can become a licensed.  The experience must be at a postgraduate level and take place under a licensed therapist's supervision. Clinical requirements are much more rigorous for people pursuing psychology and psychiatry. Most states require that therapists pass a licensing exam in addition to obtaining a master's degree and at least two years of clinical experience.  Research the exam requirements in your state in order to prepare for the exam and pass it. Renew your license every year according to the laws of your state.

Applying an ice pack or a cool cloth is an easy way to help to soothe a rash. Try wrapping an ice pack in a paper towel an holding it on the rash for up to 20 minutes. Then, give your skin a break for about an hour or so before applying another ice pack.  You can also hold a clean washcloth under cold running water for a few minutes and wring out the excess water. Then apply the cool cloth to your rash. Use a new paper towel or cloth every time to avoid spreading the rash. If you think the rash is the result of contact with poison ivy or poison oak, you should rinse the area right away with warm, soapy water and let it air dry so you do not irritate it by scrubbing it with a towel or cloth. This will prevent the spread of the rash, as once the urushiol is washed off your skin, you cannot give anyone else the poison ivy or the poison oak.  If the rash develops due to an allergic reaction, you can take a bath or shower in cold water with non-drying soap and let your skin air dry. This can help to soothe any redness or discomfort. Change into some loose clothing when you are dry. Tight clothing may irritate a rash further, so it is important to switch to loose fitting clothing if you are dealing with a rash. Opt for lightweight, natural fiber materials, such as a 100% cotton t-shirt or a pair of loose fitting linen pants. Colloidal oatmeal baths have been used to soothe rashes and itchy skin for centuries. The gluten in the oatmeal has moisturizing properties and it coats your skin when you bathe in it. This protective coating may help to soothe the rash and reduce itchiness.  You can find colloidal oatmeal bath packets in drug stores. Mix a packet of oatmeal with warm water in your bathtub and soak in the solution for about 20 minutes. Adding baking soda to bath water may also help to soothe a rash. If you don't have colloidal oatmeal or if you are sensitive to oatmeal, then you can try taking a bath in a baking soda solution. Try adding one cup of baking soda to a bathtub of warm water and soak in the solution...

Applying an ice pack to your skin can reduce inflammation, as well as help alleviate pain and swelling associated with muscle sprains and strains. Icing your skin treats back injuries like herniated disks and fractures, injection site pain, and various conditions related to the feet. It also helps with recovering from knee joint replacement surgery.  Acute inflammation is the body’s reaction to irritation, injury or surgery. Inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and skin warmth/redness.  Skin icing treats a variety of foot problems, such as capsulitis, Haglund’s Deformity, and Sever’s disease. Use an ice bag if you want more immediate results. Ice bags have a significantly higher cooling rate than gel packs, and thus are more effective initially. Place it over the place where you have an injury. For strains or sprains, leave it there for twenty minute intervals, between four and eight times per day.  Use a thin towel. Remove the cold compress for at least 40 minutes in between icings.  If you’ve had knee replacement surgery, ice your knee for thirty minutes before and after you exercise or do a physical activity in order to bring down swelling. Apply an elastic bandage over the area when you’re not icing your injury. Keep the compress on through the night, if possible, unless it interferes with your sleep. Keep the injured area elevated as much as possible, which helps reduce swelling.

Applying bronzing lotion in large quantities will take a long time, especially if you have limited experience. Give yourself a few hours in the evening to prepare and apply your bronzing lotion. Wearing gloves will keep your palms from getting tinted and absorbing the color that is meant for your body. Try using a cheap pair of latex gloves while you are applying your bronzing lotion. If you are allergic to latex seek out a non-fibrous alternative online or at a beauty supply shop. Squeeze out a small portion of bronzing lotion into your palm and start with one body part at a time. Use broad, circular strokes to apply the bronzing lotion evenly. Be careful to avoid naturally lighter spots on your body, like under your arms. Don’t panic if you get some bronzing lotion on these spots, instead, simply wipe it off with a moist cloth.  Have a friend help you apply bronzing lotion to your back, or use a strap or band for accuracy. Follow the instructions on the bronzing lotion bottle to find out how long you should rub in and apply your bronzing lotion. Try to dilute the bronzing lotion with moisturizer when applying to drier areas, like knees and elbows, as drier areas will absorb more of the lotion and appear darker than the rest of your body. Start with a small pea sized amount of bronzing lotion and apply it to your face in a broad, circular motion. Apply the bronzing lotion up to your hairline. If you have not achieved your desired color keep applying the bronzing lotion to your face in small quantities each day until you achieve your results.  Be careful if you have light, blonde, or color treated hair and bronzing lotion can leave traces in your hair color. If you have darker spots on your face from previous applications apply a small amount of clear, wax-based lip liner to the darker spots to deter absorption before applying bronzing lotion. If you applied your bronzing lotion in the evening, go to bed and take a shower first thing in the morning. Your body temperature heats while you sleep, which increases...

Applying dye again too soon after coloring your hair can cause extensive damage and breakage. Additionally, you will have no way to predict how the color will look, since you’re dyeing over an existing dye-job. The example color on the box will not be applicable on top of dye.  Keep in mind that color doesn't lift color. You won't be able to go from a dark dyed color to a lighter color without using bleach or some form of a color correction process first. Generally, it’s best to wait four to seven weeks before re-dyeing your hair so that you don’t damage it, but you can try to dye it earlier if you really hate your current dye-job.  If you’re re-dyeing just to have a change, wait at least four weeks to apply the new color. It’s easier to darken your hair than it is to lighten, so a darker shade is more likely to absorb into already dyed hair. It’s also less damaging to your hair than a bleach would be. Since you’re already on your second process, avoiding additional damage is a must. If you must lighten your hair, visit a stylist. Trying to re-dye your hair a lighter shade will most likely come out wrong and cause extensive damage to your hair. Hair that is dry, breaking, or has excessive split ends needs a break from processing. No matter how much you want to change up your look, applying dye to damaged hair will only make it look worse.  Instead, apply a deep conditioner and make an appointment with a stylist, who can help you determine when and if you can safely re-dye your hair.  Signs you have damaged hair include split ends, loss of bounce, excessive tangles, and dry, brittle strands. You may want to remove the old color before you try to re-dye your hair, especially if you’re making a big change. These products remove dye already on your hair so that the new color can absorb into your hair.  Using a color-stripper will allow you to make bigger changes in your hair color because you can start fresh. Otherwise, you will be applying dye on top of dye, which can make it harder to get the color you want....

Applying heat denatures proteins at the bite site, which stops them from spreading inflammation to other areas. This should reduce the itching and give you permanent relief.  Heat a spoon in hot water. It should be very hot, but not so hot that you burn yourself. Touch the back of the spoon to the bite and slowly press down. Maintain it there for 15 seconds, to give time for the heat to break down the proteins. Doing this once should be enough to provide relief. Be careful not to burn yourself. If the spoon feels uncomfortably hot, let it cool for a bit. The cold will reduce the swelling and numb the nerves.   Packages of frozen corn or peas make handy ready-to-use ice packs. But be sure to wrap the ice pack in a thin towel so the cold doesn't directly touch your skin. Hold the ice pack on your skin for 15-20 minutes and then remove it to allow your skin to warm up. If the bite is hot and itchy from being scratched, the aloe will be cool and soothing. It is also very good for promoting healing. It helps keep the skin moisturized, too.  If you have a commercially manufactured aloe vera gel, smear it liberally over the bite and rub it in. For best results, use a 100% pure aloe vera gel. You can also use raw aloe from a plant in your house. Split open a leaf and rub the gooey gel directly onto your skin. These methods have not been scientifically tested, but anecdotal evidence suggests that they can help relieve itching.  Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties which will help prevent infection, as well as relieve itching, swelling and pain. Try a dilution of 1 part tea tree oil to 5 parts water. Put a small drop on your finger or a clean cotton ball and then rub the dilution directly onto the bite. Try other oils like lavender or coconut. They smell good and will help soothe your frustration with the itching. This will help it to heal quickly.  Lemon juice, lime juice and apple cider vinegar are good choices because of their high acidity. Use a sterile cotton ball to apply the juice/vinegar directly onto the...

Applying heat to your lower abdomen or lower back can help relax the contracting muscles in your uterus, which cause much of the pain associated with your period. You can use a regular water bottle or thermos filled with hot water, or you can invest in an over-the-counter heating pad or patch that can help alleviate your menstrual pain. They may cost over $20, but the investment can be worth it if you’re in a lot of pain. Just spending 5-10 minutes applying heat to your body twice a day can make a big impact. Taking a warm bath may also provide some of the same relief you may feel when you apply heat to your lower abdomen and back to ease menstrual cramps. You can try taking a warm bath in addition to treating your body with heat in order to ease your menstrual pain. At worst, it will at least help you relax, which can help ease cramping throughout your body. When you’re on your period, then exercising may seem about as appealing as putting your hand in a beehive. However, making an effort to exercise, even if you’re just going for a short walk, while you’re on your period, can actually reduce the cramps and pain that you’re feeling. This is because aerobic exercise makes your body pump more blood, which lets it release endorphins to counteract the prostaglandins in your body, reducing your cramps and pain. In fact, having a steady exercise routine throughout the month can make your period less painful when that time of the month comes. Though any moderate exercise can help relieve your menstrual pain, you may want to try some specific exercises that may help ease your pain. Here’s what you can do:  Sit on the floor with your legs as far apart as they will go. Reach for your toes and ankles while keeping your back straight, while holding in your diaphragm. Take a few deep breaths and bend toward the floor when you exhale for the last time. Sit with your knees open and bent at the sides, with the soles of your feet together. Place your hands under your toes or place your hands around your ankles. Press the...

Applying moisturizer to your hands and nails should be part of your nail hygiene routine. Doing this can help to protect your nails from dryness, which may help them to grow stronger and longer. Try to apply a moisturizer to your hands and nails a couple of times per day or anytime your hands feel dry.  Use a thick, creamy lotion, such as a hand lotion. When applying the lotion to your hands, take special care to massage it over the nails and into the cuticles. Be especially careful to apply lotion after you wash your hands, as soap removes natural protective oils from your nails and makes them more vulnerable to breakage. If you notice a tear in a nail or frayed edge, then it is a good idea to clip it away with a pair of nail clippers before it becomes worse. A jagged edge might catch on something and cause you to lose part of the nail. Clip these edges as soon as you notice them to prevent them from becoming a problem. You can also file away less severe jagged edges on your nails. The cuticle is the most important part of your nail, because it protects against infection. Cuticle damage (like cutting it or pushing it back without softening first) can damage your nail, which in turn will make the nail grow less quickly.  Softening the cuticle will make it easier to push the cuticle back without damaging it. Try soaking your fingertips in warm water with a little bit of soap to help soften them. Then use an orange tipped cuticle pusher to push them back. Massage your cuticles to maintain healthy blood flow in that area. While this won’t make your nails grow more quickly, it will strengthen the nail, keeping it healthier and stronger for a longer period of time. Avoid cutting your cuticles. This can lead to bleeding and it may also introduce an infection into your nails. Avoid filing your nails in the "square" look. Instead, go for a "round" or "pointed" look. "Square" nails tend to catch more on surfaces like clothing, which rips them and causes the nail to break more quickly. If you prefer the square look,...

Applying the dye to hair that you’ve already colored can cause the color to darken and your hair to become brittle from over treatment. Start applying the product on your scalp and work your way until you reach the end of the new growth. Leave the ends of your hair untreated. Don't stress out about a little bit of overlap where the new growth ends. That hair is still fresh and won't be as porous as the hair near the ends, meaning that it won't absorb as much color. When your timer goes off and it's time to rinse, add a little water to your hair to slightly moisten the dye. However, don't remove it yet. Use your fingers to pull the color through the ends of your hair. Gently squeeze your hair to re-activate the dye, bringing it down through your ends. This works well to refresh your color when you're reapplying the same shade, but it won't darken your hair. If you want your hair darker, you'll need to leave the dye on your hair for at least 20 minutes. Use warm water to cleanse away the dye. Continue rinsing until the water runs clean. Use a color-safe conditioner to restore moisture to your hair.  Most kits include a conditioner for you to use after you dye your hair. Avoid shampooing your hair for 72-hours after dyeing. If you don't need to refresh the color on your ends and are afraid that they will darken when you do your roots, apply conditioner to the bottom of your hair so that the dye can't absorb. This will help you preserve your color on the part of your hair you want to avoid dyeing.

Applying to an agency won't do you much good if you're unheard of. Apply to a variety of shoots and jobs. If a job seems legitimate, take it even if it's small time. Anything you can add to a portfolio or resume can be impressive when seeking representation. Work on maintaining relations you have with co-workers and peers in the field. Any connection, even small, could get you in contact with a bigger agency or agent down the road. Different modeling agencies are looking for different people. Check out a variety of agencies to find one that works for your needs. Bigger, reliable agencies can be found on websites like models.com.  Keep in mind that if you've never had any modeling experience you probably won't be called in to work for one of the top agencies. However, you can still explore their websites and contact them if you have any questions or need insight to enter the modeling business. Even if they aren't interested in hiring you now, talking with agencies will help them become familiar with you. After you've had experience they may consider hiring you on. Stay in contact with anyone who reaches out to you. Even if they're sending you a rejection, send a follow up e-mail or phone call thanking them for considering you. Mention if they have something that works in the future, you would still be interested. If you google top modeling agencies you can often find a website with a list of all the agencies in the nation or world. Then, you can usually find an email for a specific agency or you can call them. There may also be a link to submit your portfolio, which is a great way to get your foot in the door.  Also, it's not common to find a modeling agency solely for swimsuit models.

Approach a group of three or more people who are involved in a conversation.  Hang around the outer edge of the group and listen to what they're saying. While someone is talking about something of interest, ask them to elaborate a bit.  For instance, if the speaker is telling a story about traveling down the Mekong River, you might interject with a question like, “Is the water deep?” or “Did you go with a group or were you alone?” The best questions will show the speaker that you're interested in what they're saying, and will enable them to talk more about their experience. If someone in the group is sharing a story that you can relate to, or discussing an experience similar to your own, listen attentively.  After they've concluded, share your own feelings or tell a related story.

Approach the left side of the basket with a dribble. Get close enough to have easy access to the basket so you can launch into your layup from a few feet away. Don't get so close that you end up directly under the basket.  If you're right-handed, the left-handed layup may also be referred to as a reverse layup, since it's the reverse of your standard layup. If you're left-handed, the right-handed layup is the reverse. It's difficult to do a layup with your opposite hand, but it's completely worth the time and effort it takes to learn how to do it. If you're approaching the basket from the left side, there's no way you'll be able to cross in front of the goal and do a right-handed layup. You'll have a much better chance of scoring if you know how to sink one from the left. When you're just a few feet from the basket, start your layup footwork by taking a step toward the basket with your left foot. Give the ball one last hard dribble just to the outside of your left foot. As soon as your right foot lands, use it to jump in the direction of the basket. Your body should be moving toward the basket, but don't bend forward. Ideally, you'll be positioned close enough to the basket that you can jump straight up to take your shot. As you jump, bring the ball out of the dribble and position it close to your chest to prepare for the shot. As you jump, imagine a string attached to your left arm and your left leg. Move them at the same time as you shoot, as though someone were pulling upward on the string. Your left knee should be bent and pointed toward the basket while your left arm moves up to shoot the ball.  When you're doing a layup, the shooting technique is slightly different from that of a regular shot. Instead of using your right hand to steady the ball, you want to shoot the ball using only your left hand. This gives you more reach, and since you're so close to the basket that it's difficult to miss the shot, you don't really need your right hand to steady the ball. As you shoot, slightly rotate your wrist...

Approach your mom with a calm disposition and without whining. Appeal to her reason first, and only to her emotions as a last resort.  Ease into your appeal by phrasing it with words like, "I was wondering if..." or "Would you consider letting me go to..." Don't be blunt and phrase it like "Mom, I want to go to..." Make sure your mom is in a good mood when you approach her. If she's in a bad mood, wait until it subsides, or do something nice to make her happy -- but do it out of care, not manipulation.  Include all the details about where you want to go: who will be there, how long you'll be there, how you're getting there and home. The more you can offer in terms of details, the more comfortable your mom will feel about it. Remember to keep the drama to a minimum: once you've lost your cool and are shouting, your chances of success are minimal. If you want to go someplace on Friday, start your appeal to mom on Monday. You don't want her to feel pressured or rushed into giving an answer. Otherwise, she'll probably say no because she doesn't have time to think about it. Don't just come right out with the question, "Can I...". Be diplomatic. Introduce the topic in conversation, but don't linger on it. You're just planting seeds of thought.  For example: if you want to go to the mall, you can bring up the time when you two went together, how fun that was, how your friends are thinking of going, and how you'd like to go again. Another example: if you want to go over to your friend's house, you can mention that your friend brought up the possibility of hanging out later in the week, and that she/he was going to ask her/his parents. See what your mom says, but don't state it as though you're presuming you will be able to go. If you just can't help yourself, and you do ask if you can go, don't push for an answer if your mom is hesitant. Let her think about it.

Aquarians aren't interested in the one-trick pony that's obviously trying to get with them. They want something more interesting. Something more dynamic. Going all out in one fell swoop isn't enough. Take it slow, show them you're worth the time, and be friends first. Your aim is to be the friend that stands out. Aquarians (not to be confused with aquariums) want something special. Something that can captivate them. They know better than to judge a book by its cover, so they'll need to read you first. Let them get absorbed in your pages. The Aquarian is the one you find who's spilling with creativity. Whether he's behind a camera or a paintbrush, he's full of vision and drive. His entire life is outside the proverbial box and he's often on a different wavelength than others. If you show him that you get this, that you get it and you appreciate it, you'll be leagues above the others who are just smiling and nodding away at him. He'll love it. Ask him questions! Get curious about what he's up to. Is he writing a song? Turning his basement into a veritable spy facility? Painting a mural on the side of the school? Be interested! And if you can add your skills into the equation, too, all the better. This is by far the greatest aphrodisiac for the Aquarian. There’s nothing like a lively chat rich in culture and future possibilities to get this sign going. He knows he's got it going on upstairs; he wants someone else to talk to who's got it going on too! Aquarians are just about interested in everything. So don't worry about what you can talk about to impress him. Whatever you're passionate about should be what you engage him on. He'll love seeing your zest for life. ppeal to his eccentric side. Since he feels a bit different than everyone else, sometimes he can feel a little abnormal. Show him that his eccentric side is something you love -- and it's something you can even relate to! Be unusual. Be original. Do your own thing. How else will you stand out? When it comes to you, do your own thing. Wear whatever...

Arborvitae plants prefer moist, not dry or soggy, soil. Check your soil's dryness every day by sticking your finger in. If the soil feels dry, water the plant immediately.  In drier climates without rainfall, you may need to supply more water per week. Use the soil's dryness as a guide for when to water your plant. If your tree's needle tips are brown or yellowing and its foliage turns dull, it may not be getting enough water. Annually fertilizing your tree can give it nutrients it needs to thrive. Buy a nitrogen-rich fertilizer from a garden center or nursery and spray it over your plant in a thin, even coating. Fertilize your plant yearly to boost your plant's nutrient levels before the growing season. your tree during the summer and winter. Apply a 3 in (7.6 cm) layer of mulch around your tree's base twice a year, or more often as needed. This will cool your tree down during hot temperatures and insulate it in cooler seasons. Mulch also helps maintain a moist atmosphere around the Arborvitae tree, which imitates its naturally humid environment. Use pruning shears to cut away dead or dying branches, thin out overgrown areas, and shape your tree as desired. Avoid trimming more than 1/4 of the Arborvitae's foliage at a time to prevent it from going into shock after cutting it. Most Arborvitae trees need pruning about once a year to stay healthy.

Are you a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner? This means do you learn best through looking at the words yourself, through hearing them spoken to you, or through listening and seeing and associating actions or feelings with them.  If you've learned languages before, go back over how you learned them and see what worked for you and what didn't. In most classroom settings you will do a lot of writing, but less speaking. Speaking the language and immersing yourself in it is extremely important and a way to become more efficient at the language more quickly. In 90 days, you'll have learned about 80% of the language. The most common words make up the greatest percent of interactions, so start by memorizing the most common words.  Make sure that you keep practicing the words you've used previously, so you don't forget them as you memorize new words. The top ten most common French words are: être (to be, being), avoir (to have), je (I), de (of, from, by, than, in, with), ne (not), pas (not; step, pace), le (the; him, it (referring to a masculine singular noun)), la (the; her, it (referring to a feminine singular noun)), tu (you), vous (you, yourself).  Label everything in your house with the French word and make sure you say the words out loud whenever you read them. Make yourself flash cards and use them when you're on the bus, during commercials while you're watching t.v. or whenever you have a bit of downtime. Learn how the verbs work with nouns and with each other. Things that you learn in the beginning of French make more sense as you become more proficient in the language. Look at things like how the pronunciation works.  Grammar is incredibly important to learning a language. To speak it properly, you'll need to understand how verbs work, how present, past, and future tenses work, and how genders work with nouns. We say things forward in English e.x. The bathroom, whereas the french (and the rest of the world) say things backward, taking longer to say it e.x. the room of bath. Learn pronunciation. This is...

Are you blaming yourself for your dad’s angry outbursts, excessive drinking, neglect, or emotional instability? Many kids think their parents behave badly because of something they did wrong. If this sounds like you, stop blaming yourself. No matter what your dad or anyone else says, you’re not responsible for his behavior. Your father is an adult, so he's responsible for himself.  If you’re having trouble realizing that you’re not to blame, talk to another adult about what you’re feeling. It may also help to remind yourself by reciting an affirmation like, “Dad is responsible for himself. I am not to blame for his behavior.” Remember that your dad’s behavior does not have anything to do with you. His behavior may be the result of how he was raised, his own trauma, a mental illness, or other factors. That way, you'll be able to sidestep his influence and avoid developing these behavioral patterns later.  To minimize your chances of substance abuse, participate in extracurriculars at school. Involvement in such activities lowers your risk.  Try to identify the unhealthy behaviors you don't want to pick up from your father. Then, look for another role model who demonstrates the types of behaviors you do want. Similarly, if you are being neglected or abused, start working with a counselor to address these issues. Getting help can help you minimize your chances of demonstrating the same behavioral patterns with your own children. You can soften the influence your terrible father has on you by seeking out positive relationships with male role models. Form relationships with male leaders in your school, work, or community. These influences may counter some of the negative effects of having a bad father.  Participate in mentoring programs like Boys Club or Girls, Inc. You might also connect with positive male role models by reaching out to teachers, coaches, community leaders, or spiritual advisors. You might reach out by saying something like, "Coach Greg, I really look up to you. My own dad is hardly ever around....

Are you bothered by a lack of social skills? Do you struggle with superficial conversations, showing your feelings, experience frequent awkward pauses in conversations, or other practical problems? Perhaps you manage to come across sociable enough, but still wish you didn't always feel so uncomfortable and insecure. Also ask yourself how much you really want to change – not everyone is or can be a social butterfly. Don't waste efforts comparing yourself to others. Don't tell yourself that you should be like them. This is simply negative reinforcement, which will only make you feel like you are different, alone, and, in extreme cases, even inferior. Socially anxious individuals frequently have a stream of negative thoughts running through their heads. "I look awkward," "No one is talking to me," or "I am going to look like an idiot," are all thoughts that may run on a loop. As you can probably tell, these thoughts are all negative and will only serve to keep you feeling shy and self-conscious.  Aim to break the habit of negative thoughts by becoming aware of when you are falling prey to them and by challenging their logic. For example, just because you are nervous in a crowd or at a party does not mean you look awkward. Others around you may be getting a case of nerves, too. Reframing means not just taking a positive spin on your thoughts, but also a more realistic perspective. Many negative thoughts are rooted in irrational beliefs. Find evidence that disputes your negative thoughts and find another way of looking at the situation. This is one of the most important aspects of shyness and social anxiety. Most shy people don't do this on purpose, but often, attention is consistently drawn to yourself during conversations. This makes you self-aware and keeps a vicious cycle rotating. Research has shown this may play a key role in why people might experience panic attacks after relatively mild anxious moments.  Rather than noticing that you are being shy, or that you may have said something embarrassing, try to...

Are you doing a pencil drawing? Just scribbling? Generally, you'll want a piece of paper or a notebook. For a pencil drawing, just use a No. 2 since you are practicing. Also if you are using a pencil, get an eraser. If you would like to color, use markers, colored pencils, paints, pastels, or anything else you would like. Try to get thick drawing paper at an art supply or craft store. Canvas paper or a drawing pad is recommended, but if you're just learning you might want to start with regular sheet paper. Are you already good at drawing animals? Maybe you should focus on humans. If you're struggling with proportions you should try working on that during your practice. Figure out what it is that you want to improve so that you're not just drawing at random. Just drawing isn't necessarily going to make you better - you need targeted practice. Free drawing is fine too if you want to work on your ability to create in the moment. Graffiti artists often free draw for this reason. Imagine going to the gym and doing five sit-ups and then leaving. You’re not going to get in better shape doing that, and drawing for five minutes once a week probably won’t help you out either. Try to commit some serious time to drawing if you want to get better. Twenty minutes four days a week isn’t a huge time commitment but will be really beneficial.

Are you evaluating yourself and other people based on superficial ideas of what it means to be successful? Success does not necessarily mean having a big house, two cars and a high-powered job, or being so beautiful that people can't stop staring. Success is about finding out what life is best for you and living it to the very fullest. If you worry less about society's standards for success, and focus instead on what gets you going every day, you'll be less likely to fall into comparing yourself to other people so much. Remember that it's ok to be at a different stage in your life than other people. For instance, just because you might not have the job or partner you want yet, doesn't mean you're any less of a person than the person you're envious of. Life is not a serious of boxes we all check off on our way to happiness. Everyone travels a different path, and no one's is more meaningful or better than anyone else's. It might look like someone else has it all - the perfect boyfriend, great hair, straight As, you name it. However, there is always more to the story, because it's impossible for anyone to have a perfect life. If someone seems to have everything you want, chances are you have something they want, too. Don't put people up on a pedestal and grind your teeth thinking they must have been born under a lucky star. You may not ever know what their weakness is - after all, most people are adept at hiding their imperfections - but you can be sure it's there. Reflecting on the fact that everyone has a struggle, need, or want may be enough to remind you that everyone is in the same boat. It's not necessary to go digging to find out what soft spots the person has! Rest assure there is something you aren't seeing. Try to put aside your thoughts of envy and focus on yourself. Let's say that someone you know started a running regimen, lost 20 pounds and just completed her first marathon. Sure, the person made a great achievement, but there's nothing stopping you from doing the same thing! Your success in life...

Are you going to Disney World? Spending a lot of time on the beach? Visiting relatives who will want to take you out to fancy restaurants? Adjust your packing needs accordingly. Pack more or less of all of the essentials depending on where you’re headed.   Are you going to the beach for several days? Double check that you have all your swimming essentials. Are you heading to Disney World? Be ready for lots of walking with comfortable shoes and breathable clothing. Are you seeing a show in the evenings? You may need something fancy. Are you spending a lot of time in business meetings? Be prepared with business wear and a jacket or sweater if you’ll be sitting in the A/C. Even though it’s the “Sunshine State,” the weather in Florida fluctuates a bit with the seasons. Your packing needs will vary greatly from month to month.  As a general guide:  The average high in Florida in February is in the high 60s, and the average low is in the low 40s. The average high in Florida in July is in the low 90s, and the average low is in the low 70s. Don’t forget to make note of the precipitation forecast as well. If you’re staying with friends or in a rental house, you may have access to a washer and dryer. If that’s the case, and if you are willing to repeat outfits, you may be able to dramatically cut down on the amount of clothes you’re bringing. Include tank tops, short sleeve shirts, shorts, and dresses.  Particularly if you’re going to be spending a lot time outside, choose fabrics that breathe well, such as cotton or linen.  Avoid polyester and rayon in the summer. Sunglasses and hats are a must, and you'll want lots of sunscreen.  If you were only able to pack a 3.4 oz container of sunscreen, be prepared to buy more when you get there. You may also want to consider some aloe or lotion in case you get burned.

Are you going to be using the compressor to power machinery or to power pneumatic tools or to simply inflate a tire? You'll probably want a compressor with a tank if you plan on using tools that require high flow. You may want a portable compressor without a tank if you plan on merely using it for air brushing or filling a tire. Since there is no tank to store the compressed air the tankless type will run continuously, which usually isn't an issue since they are usually quite small and therefore make minimal noise.  In particular, consider pressure and volume requirements of any tools you may be using. Obviously, heavy-duty tools require much more pressure and, in turn, more volume. If you fail to choose a compressor that's large enough for your intended use, you will find yourself periodically waiting for the tank to fill up, thereby decreasing your work efficiency. If the portable air compressor is for airbrushing, for example, 5 liter (1.3 US gal) a small tank capacity and around 30 psi of sustained air pressure would be adequate. Essentially, there are two different kinds of air compressors: reciprocating and rotary screw. The most common type you'll likely see for sale somewhere is the reciprocating piston type. It has a cylinder with a piston that moves up and down and a one-way valve on top of the moving piston. Some air compressors utilize a dual piston setup for higher flow and/or pressure. The other type of air compressor is the rotary screw. These are designed for continuous use and are often used with tools that run for several seconds (or minutes) at a time, such as impact wrenches and jackhammers, and in industrial applications.  Piston compressors come in single-stage and two stage. Single-stage tops out at about 150 psi. Two-stage compressors use two pistons usually of different size to deliver around 200 psi. The larger piston compresses air to about 100 psi and the second piston compresses that air to near 200 psi. Be aware that a single stage compressor may have two pistons but it is still...

Play around with different formats to see which looks most professional. Aim for no more than the front and back of a standard sheet of paper. It is important to make your name a size larger than the rest of the text as it is important for your reviewer to know who he or she is reading about. It is up to you as to how you format this information. Standard format would be to have your name in the center of the page. Your home address should be listed in a block format on the left side of the paper. Put your telephone number and email below your home address. If you have another address (such as your address while you are at school) list this address on the right hand side of the paper. This is an optional part of the CV that is good for giving your reviewer a more in-depth look at you as a person. This is where you sell your skills, experiences, and personal qualities. It should be original and well-written. Use positive words such as “adaptable”, “confident”, and “determined”.

Are you looking for a board to cruise on around town? To hit the skatepark with? Or are you looking to rip down big hills? Different sized longboards have different advantages and disadvantages. Shorter longboards are more agile (meaning you can turn more) but less stable (meaning it's easier to fall over). Longer boards are more stable but less agile. Beginners should stick with longer boards. You may not think it's the coolest way to longboard, but especially when you're practicing, it's a good idea to be padded up. If you're doing more extreme versions of longboarding, getting padded up is essential. For gear, be sure to get:  A good-fitting helmet Skateboarding shoes (flat bottomed) Elbow pads (optional) Knee pads (optional) Slide Gloves (depend on the board you have) Do you skate with your right foot forward? That's called riding "goofy." Do you skate with your left foot facing forward? That's called regular.  To find out whether you ride regular or goofy, have someone shove you from behind with no warning. Whichever foot you put out to catch yourself is the one you want to lead with on the skateboard. If it feels wrong, try switching to the other foot. Another way to find out is to slide on a smooth surface in socks or lay on the ground; whichever foot you use to get up with will be the foot you want to lead with on your longboard. Try to feel the smooth flow as it rolls over the concrete. The lower you keep your center of gravity, the better you will feel. Make sure you feel comfortable before moving on. Stand with your feet between the trucks (the bearings that hold the wheels), a little longer than shoulder-width apart. Angle your front foot slightly forward, at about a 45 degree angle. Have your back foot be pretty much sideways, perpendicular to the direction the board is traveling in. This is just one stance that you can use. After getting comfortable with your longboard for a little bit, you very well could find that other stances work better for you. Go with what feels comfortable. Get the hang...

Are you looking to improve up hills? Do you want to compete in races? Do you want to ride longer distances? Knowing your end goals will help you make a specific training program, which will cut into your weaknesses much faster than just going out and riding randomly. For example:  If you want to be a better climber, you need to design rides/routes that feature a lot of elevation change. If you want to compete in a race, you need to build your overall speed and strength, favoring shorter, but faster, rides and minute adjustments meant to shave off seconds. If you want to ride for longer, you need to slowly build up your endurance, increasing your mileage each week. Endurance training is when you push yourself nearly to the max for 1-2 minutes, then slow down to rest for 1-2 minutes. By repeating this multiple times, you train your heart and body to push itself and then recover quickly, which translates into better cycling overall. While there are hundreds of interval routines out there, start out simple:  Warm up at a slow, even pace for 10-15 minutes. Push yourself for 1 minute at 80-90% top speed. Relax to a slow, even pace for 2 minutes. Repeat 5 more times. Cool down for 10-15 minutes at a slow, even pace. As you improve, lower your rest time by 15 seconds each ride. Hills may not be fun in the moment, but they are nature's way of whipping you into shape. Focus on hill riding 2-3 times a week, and push yourself up them. You can even time yourself up hills you tackle commonly, then race against your best times as you get stronger. Try cranking up hills one gear higher than you normally would, and stay seated throughout. You'll go slower, but the training will be incredible. The century is more than a rite of passage, it is a great way to train your body for longer, more grueling rides. That said, there is a wide variety of ways to conquer a century, from all-out pushes to slower rides with frequent stops for food and stretching. No matter your speed, a century ride will push you mentally and physically into...

Are you reacting with anger, worry, offense, embarrassment, or disappointment? Why did this situation or comment provoke this in you? It’s difficult to neutralize powerful reactions in the moment, but the more mindful you are of your behavior the better equipped you will be to alter it as necessary moving forward. Say, for example, that you spoke up with an opinion of yours at a get-together, only for it to be contradicted by an acquaintance. You feel flushed and overwhelmed: is it because you're embarrassed to be wrong, or angry for your acquaintance's choice of words? Perhaps it's something else entirely, but taking time to determine exactly why you felt overwhelmed is an important first step to beating that feeling in the future. If you're repeatedly having your feelings hurt by a certain person or situation, there's a reason. Someone isn't always at fault, and someone isn't always in the wrong, but there's always a reason, as simple as that may sound. Determine the reason and what role you honestly play in it. If your role is that you've experienced emotional trauma in your past related to those issues, consider counseling if your coping methods have proved ineffective so far for you. Meaning: make sure you’re doing this because you feel it would be best for you, your well-being, and your coping skills, and not because someone else told you it was something you lacked or needed. There are many in the world who may call you oversensitive when you’re having an entirely understandable reaction to negative stimuli, or that you’re eager to be offended or hurt. No one can tell you with any authority the way that you should feel about something.  There is no correct answer here. It could be a deeply distressing situation concerning something monumentally important to you, or something you recognize as insignificant outside of the moment. It's okay to be flawed. Many feel a pressure to present as perfect, leading them to harmfully internalize the slightest criticism. Feeling the need to be present perfectly can...

Are you sexy? Scary? Funny? Cute? Perky? Angry? Your Halloween costume is a great excuse to project a side of yourself you don't usually get a chance to share if you'd like to "hide" behind something really fun, wacky or scary. Or, the costume could emphasize a side of you that everyone already knows and loves well, such as being zany, cheeky or bright. In finding your own style, think about what you wear on a daily basis and what's comfortable for you. This alone may help you to think of a costume right away. For example, do you usually wear cute skirts? A dress? Jeans? Can these be paired with something a little more exciting to form a costume, such as sticking a cloak over the top of jeans or a witch's hat on top of a dress? If you wear black, you probably wouldn't want to be a fairy, although a dark fairy could be a good option. If you like bright colors, think of pumpkins, elves, fairies, ghosts, rainbows and similar costumes. If you like darker colors, think goth, vampires, skeletons, dark wizards, evil geniuses, etc. However, don't be afraid to mix and match, as it's Halloween and anything goes. Are they still something you'd like to build off, perhaps turning an existing old costume into a different costume? You don't have to be something that is exactly like you, but it would make more sense to dress up as someone or something that reflects your personality. What do you like to do? Make a list of the things you enjoy, be it sport, cosplay, cooking, playing games, dressing up, reading, etc. For example, if you like soccer, be a famous soccer player; if you're into a certain TV show, dress up as one of the characters you like most; if you like animals or food, dress up as your favorite pet or dessert. Match the list of options to the items you have available and be creative.

Areas of an outdoor garden that receive at least six full hours of direct sunlight are considered "full sun," while areas that receive three to six hours of direct sun are labeled as "partial sun." Eastern and southern areas of the garden that receive the sunlight in the morning and early afternoon are most preferable. Loose soil promotes better drainage and makes it easier for the roots to spread. Compost provides the plant with nutrients and sand allows the soil to drain more effectively. Manure and perlite can be used as substitutes for the two additives, respectively. Dig these elements into the top 1/2 to full foot (15 to 30 centimeters) of soil. For instance, if you grew your seedling in a 4-inch (10-centimeter) plastic seedling tray, then you should dig a 4-inch (10-centimeter) hole. The soil should stay intact around the roots. Cover it with soil and gently pat the soil around the stem to hole it in place. Soak the soil with water from a hose or watering can until the surface of the soil is visibly damp. The pole should be inserted into the ground about 1 foot (30 centimeters) behind the jasmine to avoid interfering with its roots. As it grows, you will need to train it to climb this support.

Arguments can chip away at a relationship over time. Whenever you can, avoid them at any cost. If something is trivial, it is not worth hurting the other person’s feelings or your relationship with them. Choosing your battles wisely will show a great deal of appreciation for the person.  For example, if someone says to you something like, “Your hair is a mess today,” then it probably isn’t worth addressing. If, however, someone stole money from you, you probably need to have a constructive conversation about boundaries. If you do have an argument, apologize. This will show that you accept some of the blame for the disagreement and appreciate the other person enough to admit that. This can go a long way in showing your appreciation for them. Surprising the other person will show that you have thought about them. It also shows that you know them well enough to surprise them with something that they enjoy. An unexpected gift, meal, or trip can show someone that you really appreciate them.  For example, stopping by with takeout from a favorite restaurant or cooking a friend’s favorite meal will show them that you appreciate them. People will also feel appreciated if you pick them up a small gift while you are travelling. It shows that you were thinking of them. When someone you care about needs you, it is important to make time for them. Sometimes you may need to drop what you are doing immediately, and other times you can commit to grabbing lunch later in the week. You should always keep your commitments to the people you appreciate, or they will begin to feel like they are not important to you. For example, if a friend needs your help moving over the weekend, you should try to clear your schedule and help them out. When you spend time with someone you are close to, give them your full attention. Avoid distractions like cell phones or televisions and engage in conversation. Actively listen to the other person and show a genuine interest in what they are saying.  For example, if you have lunch with your parents,...

Arnica montana is a plant that, when absorbed by the body, can help get rid of bruises. Arnica comes in both tablet and cream form, and you can typically use it once per day.  Look for arnica at most drug and big-box stores. Check your arnica container for exact dosage recommendations. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples that can help reduce the swelling around bruises. For the best results, rub bromelain cream onto the bruised area 2 to 3 times a day.  If you’d prefer, you can take a bromelain tablet instead. However, these are often less effective and can lead to digestive issues and a boosted heart rate. Do not use bromelain if you are allergic to pineapple. You can find bromelain cream at big-box stores. Parsley leaves have natural healing properties that can help your bruise fade away, reduce swelling around the impacted area, and relieve any pain you’re experiencing. For the best results, crush up fresh parsley leaves, sprinkle them over the bruise, and hold them in place using an adhesive or elastic bandage.  Try using this treatment every night before going to bed so the parsley doesn’t fall off due to movement. If you’d prefer, you can make a parsley rub by wrapping the leaves in a thin nylon cloth, soaking the cloth in witch hazel, and holding the cloth to the bruised area twice a day for 30 minutes at a time. Create a solution that’s approximately 1 part vinegar and 1 part warm water. Once you’ve mixed the solution thoroughly, dip a cotton ball or fresh cloth into the liquid and hold it to the bruise for 10 to 20 minutes. This will help break up any blood pools around the impacted area. If you’d like, you can use witch hazel instead of vinegar. Vitamin K has a number of healing properties that can help reduce swelling around the bruise and break up blood clots underneath your skin. For the best results, apply a vitamin K topical cream to the affected area twice a day. You can find vitamin K cream at most drug stores.

Around 30% of heat comes in through your windows. Your south and west-facing windows receive the most heat throughout the day, so make sure they remain closed while the sun is out.  You can determine which windows are facing south and west with a compass or by using GPS software like Google Maps. The temperature is usually the hottest around noon to 3 p.m. The temperature usually drops after the sun goes down. If you’ve built up heat in your room during the day, opening the windows after the sun sets will allow cool air to flow into your room. Opening the windows allows cold air to escape and hot air to enter your room. If you’re using air conditioning, your windows and curtains should be shut at all times during the day to prevent the sun from heating up the room. Low-E window film and insulated curtains are specially made to keep heat out of your room. To apply low-E film, peel the sticky sheet from its plastic backing and stick it onto the inside surface of your window. Insulated curtains are installed like regular curtains but are made of special materials that keep heat out of the room. You can purchase low-E film and insulated curtains online or in the windows department of most hardware stores. Leafy trees, reeds, and sunflowers can block out the sun during the hot weather. Plant the trees or plants on the outside of the house and position them so that the leaves block out the sun. This is usually most applicable to rooms on the first floor of a house.

Around the age of 5, you can start teaching observational drawing. This involves teaching children how to draw from the appearance of things, rather than their knowledge or imagination of them. To begin training them in observation, teach them to think of their drawings as practice. Say you are learning a new kind of drawing that takes lots of practice, and that they can practice as much as they want.  Provide pencils and multiple pieces of paper, and gently discourage eraser use. Say they can start a drawing as many times as they want, and erase false lines when they are done. Do not force observational drawing on a child. Pushing a child to a new stage of drawing might discourage or stunt their learning. Affirm other kinds of drawings as well: storytelling and imagination based drawings, abstract or emotional drawings. Around age 5 or 6, children develop schema, or ways of drawing things. Instead of teaching them to observe things they have "already learned" how to draw, like houses, a pet, or trees, let them pick something they have never drawn before. This will prevent them from reverting to learned habits, but will not frustrate them by requiring them to "unlearn" something they feel they have mastered. Explain that the child will be drawing an object from one side. Have the child sit where they will be when they draw, and trace your finger around the edges of the object as they are visible to the child. Then, have the child trace the edges. Next, ask the child to trace the shape in the air. They can do this with their finger and with their pencil. Encourage children to draw with their eyes on the object they are drawing. Try putting a square of paper on their pencil, above the spot they grip, so that they cannot see the line they make. Have them draw practice lines first. Have them practice drawing each part of the shape separately.  After they have practiced the lines, let them draw the whole shape. Keep the page of practice lines nearby for further practice or reference.  Have children practice...

Arrange the boards so the best looking side of each will be most visible in your final project. Shift the boards around until you’ve aligned their grains in an attractive natural pattern. When you’re satisfied with their alignment, make a big V-shape across them with chalk or a lumber crayon.  For instance, if you’re making a table, you’ll want to use the most attractive sides of your boards or planks for the tabletop. You’ll also want their grains and colors to line up so they don’t look mismatched or obviously joined. The lines of your V don't have to be perfectly straight. You just need to make the shape across all of the boards. That way, the V is legible only when the boards are correctly aligned. Set thin, evenly sized strips of wood under both ends of your boards to raise them off of your work surface. When you glue and clamp your boards, excess glue will seep out from the joints. Raising the boards will keep your work surface clean. Add a strip of scrap wood in the middle if your planks or boards are long and you’re concerned about bowing. To spread an even bead of woodworking glue, hold the bottle with one hand and the nozzle with the other. Move the nozzle across the edge quickly and steadily. Don’t apply glue to both edges that you’re joining. Too much glue will just cause more of a mess. Press the edges together and secure them with clamps. Add a clamp at each end and, depending on your boards’ length, additional clamps in the middle. Try to get your boards perfectly flush so you won’t have to sand away imperfections after the glue has cured. To make cleanup easier, you can wipe excess glue off the top surface with a damp cloth immediately. After 20 minutes, remove the clamps so you can carefully flip over the boards and clean the bottom side. Use a putty knife to scrape excess glue from this side.  The glue still needs several hours to cure, so handle the joined boards gently. In humid conditions, you’ll have to wait an hour or longer to remove the clamps. While you can safely remove the clamps...

Arrange them in a single layer with minimal overlap. Do not grease the plate. Place the plate into the microwave. Aim to remove the almonds from the microwave just before they start to brown and become fragrant. This should take 3-5 minutes, depending on your microwave's power.  All microwaves cook differently, so keep a close eye on your nuts as they cook. If you have an older model, it may take longer to toast the almonds. Make sure to stir the almonds at each 1-minute interval to make sure they toast evenly. As long as they are stored in an airtight container, the toasted almonds will be good for up to 2 weeks. They can be kept in the fridge or at room temperature. If you want the nuts to keep for longer, store them in the freezer. Frozen almond slices can last for up to 3 months.

Arrogance in captions comes when the person writing the caption doesn’t care about the reader, and simply writes a caption that is easy at the moment of writing. This can also be consider being selfish because the writer cares more about themselves than the reader who is trying to decipher what the photo and story are about. This can also happen when a writer is trying to be ‘fancy’ and try something new or clever. There is no need to get complicated. Keep things simple, clear, and accurate. You know what they say about people who assume … ! The same goes for writing captions. These assumptions could be on the part of the journalist, photographer, or even someone else at the publication where everything is being put together. Don’t make assumptions about what was going on in the photo, or who the people are. Find out the truth and only include what’s accurate. This also goes for style and format. If you aren’t sure if the publication has a specific format for captions, ask. Don’t use a format you like that may need to be completely revised later because you didn’t ask. Sloppiness happens when someone just doesn’t care, or doesn’t consider the situation important enough to double-check. The result of sloppiness can be incorrect spelling, the wrong names for people in the photo, captions that don’t match the photos, referring to a photo in the story incorrectly, etc. If you’re proud of your work, do a good job from start to finish. This can also happen when someone tries to use another language in the caption, but doesn’t check if it has been written properly. Google Translate is not the same as double-checking if the language is correct! As a journalist, whatever you print either in your story or caption is usually considered fact by your readers. They rightfully assume you’ve done your fact-checking and that what you’re telling them is accurate. If you were too lazy or sloppy to do the job, you risk passing along incorrect information to a large number of people. Also remember that once information gets “out...

As Jett’s career has spanned several decades, she has rocked all colors, kinds, and cuts of denim over the years.  Be them boot cut, flared, skinny, or straight leg, any cut of jeans can channel Joan Jett’s tough, retro style.  The key to making any pair work is fit and color.  As a general rule, opt for darker washes of blue, slate gray, or black denim.  Lighter washes can work if you’re going for an old-school Ramones vibe, but make sure they’re obviously stone-washed or bleached or otherwise vintage.  No matter what cut of jeans you select, go for a slim fitting leg.  Skinny jeans and slim straight legs look great with Jett’s signature sneakers, but boot cuts and flares can also look long and sleek if they’re fitted properly. Get creative.  Distressed or cuffed details on your denim can add visual interest and edge to your Jett-inspired outfit.  If your jeans feel a little bare or simple, consider spiffing them up with a few safety pins, metal studs, or a DIY bleach job. Joan’s style is famously androgynous, so the key to mimicking her look is balancing feminine articles with masculine ones.  For your bottom layer, pick out a black tank top or white wife-beater that goes with anything.  If you’re fresh out of these undergarment staples, a lacy camisole or ripped-up band T-shirt will serve just as well. Pop a leather motorcycle jacket, destructed sweater, or masculine blazer over your bottom layer.  Dark colors should dominate your outfit, but inject flashes of color—particularly reds, oranges, and pinks—to amp up the attitude. While Jett was known to rock a heel from time to time, her signature look has to be the Chucks.  Though Chucks come in all hues and prints, opt for a darker shade to complement your dark denim. If you’re not in the mood for sneakers, a pair of combat or motorcycle boots will always work.  For a cheaper alternative to real leather, pick up a pair of vegan leather booties or ankle boots. If you’re going for Joan’s glam-rock, concert-ready look, some retro glitter wedges or...

As a Hare Krishna, your relationship with food is influenced by the principles of compassion, non-violence, and balanced living. Because of this, you should not eat meat, fish, dairy or eggs. Killing animals for food produces bad karma. Some people think the vegetarian diet is sufficient, but others go for full veganism. By not relying on animals for food, you are stopping some of the karma associated with violence.  In addition to being a vegan, you should also encourage others to be vegan and support the ethical treatment of animals.  Don't forget to research cruelty-free clothes, skin care, and cleaning products, too. Also avoid overeating. Only eat what you need. It is important to spend time with other like-minded individuals. It will help you grow spiritually and be a source of encouragement. You need to be able to study the sacred texts and chant with other people.  Spending a lot of time with non-devotees can slow down your progress. You can find other devotees through Facebook, Krishna Conscious discussion boards, or by visiting the ISKCON website. Going to a temple is the best way to meet other devotees. Do not have illicit sex, gamble, or use any intoxicating substances. These things are more focused on physical pleasure and get in the way of your spiritual growth. Your spiritual needs should always be more important than your physical wants and desires.  Illicit sexual activities include any sexual enjoyment outside of marriage that is not for procreation. You should also be married to another devotee. The only allowable sexual activity is vaginal sex without the use of any contraceptives.  Gambling includes playing cards, lotteries, dice, casino games, betting, and wagering.  When you gamble, you are trying to beat the odds. However, Krishna has already set everything in order. When you are trying to beat the odds, you are actually trying to question the order that Krishna has already established. Do not take any substances that can alter your mind or body such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine,...

As a general rule, it is a crime both to sell tobacco to a minor and to purchase tobacco if you are a minor. In the United States, all 50 states have laws that make it illegal to sell tobacco to people under the age of 18. Many other countries have similar laws in place. Though penalties for buying and consuming tobacco as a minor are mild compared to those for more serious types of crime, it's still a very bad idea to buy cigarettes as a minor, as receiving a mark on your criminal record at a young age can cause problems down the line — for example, when applying for college.  Typically, in the U.S., the immediate penalty for a minor who buys cigarettes is a fine or community service. For the business that sells the cigarettes, the penalties can be more severe.  Most online vendors use a credit or debit card to pay for your order. In the U.S., you must be 18 to be able to have your own credit card, which is also the same age you must be to legally purchase cigarettes. When you buy cigarettes online, you'll typically have to pay a shipping and handling fee which you wouldn't normally have had to pay if you had bought your cigarettes from the store. Sometimes, this can offset the savings you would have gotten by buying from a duty-free online site. However, in the case of some retailers, you may be able to get a good deal by buying in bulk if the shipping and handling fee is charged on a per-order or per-box basis. While buying many cartons of cigarettes can get quite expensive, this practice can save you money in the long run. Note, however, that some retailers charge a flat shipping rate based on the number of cartons you buy. This means that, on these sites, buying in bulk doesn't get you a better deal. Not all cigarette retailers are created equal. Just like brick-and-mortar stores, some offer affordable deals and great incentives, while others will try rip you off. Before making a decision, try to find your preferred product on multiple websites. Compare both the product's price and the site's shipping...

As a general rule, you can harvest greens as soon as they are large enough to pick. Generally, this is when the green reach a height between 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm).  As long as the growing points or nodes are not removed, the greens should regrow after harvesting them. If you want to harvest leaves and roots from the same plant, only remove two or three leaves per plant. If you remove all of the leaves, the root will die. You should be able to harvest mature, ripe turnips after five to ten weeks. "Early" varieties only require five weeks, while main crop varieties need six to ten.  You can harvest small turnips simply by hand pulling them. To harvest large turnip roots, use a spading fork to loosen the soil around the root before pulling it out. You can harvest turnips at virtually any size. Small turnips are tender and tend to be somewhat sweeter than large turnips, though, so most prefer to harvest turnips when the roots are between 1 and 3 inches (2.5 and 7.5 cm) in diameter). You can check the root size by lightly brushing away soil on top of one plant to reveal the root below. If that one plant appears ready for harvest, most of the others will likely be ready, as well. Make sure that all of your turnips are harvested before the first frost. Do not allow them to grow too large, since overripe turnips have a woody taste and texture. When packed and stored in a cool place, harvested turnips will usually last for three to four months. Consider keeping them in a basement, root cellar, or shed and covering them with straw.  Twist off the tops, leaving 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of stem before storing the turnips. Do not rinse off any soil since it can actually help protect the roots wile they remain in storage. You might be able to leave your fall crop in the ground until early winter by covering them with a thick mulch, but pull them out before the soil freezes and hardens. Turnips can also be stored in the refrigerator.

As a goalie, it is your job to keep the other team from scoring. But once you're in control of the ball, you have to reinstate the attack or put the ball back in play. To do that, you have to be able to kick or throw the ball with precision.  Practice kicking the ball with accuracy up to at least 40 yards. Have a teammate stand at various distances and see how accurate your kicks are. Alternate between kicking and throwing.  Always look for a teammate who is free, and don't just kick the ball back on to the field without a target in mind.  You don't always have to lob the ball. You can roll it on the ground, or throw it low. The main goal is to get it back to a teammate.  Work on clearing the ball. If the defence is being swarmed and the clock is low, you may want to clear it. Punt the ball as far into the other team's side as you can while trying to stay inside the boundaries. Only do this if you have to since it almost guarantees the other team getting control. You may not be running up and down the field like the rest of your teammates, but that doesn't mean you can neglect your footwork. You need to be able to defend from all angles, and quickly change direction as the situation demands.  Stay on your toes during games and practices. Don't lean back on your heels or you'll find it harder to make sudden movements.  Practice moving from side to side without crossing your feet. Keep your shoulders and hips in line with the shooter as you move. Communication is key for being a strong goalie. It's your job as a goalie to let the rest of your team know when you are under too much pressure, or if they need to increase their defense.  Aside from giving directions on the field, encourage the rest of your team to play better. Use a vocal tone that is positive, but firm.  You can see the entire field and track the ball at the same time. Use this perspective to your advantage, and keep your teammates aware of what is going on on field.  Shout out unguarded opponents, or marks, so your teammates know who to guard. A...

As a high school student, studying probably takes up a lot of your time. Work on finding study methods that work best for you  so that you can save time. Start by setting some clear goals for yourself. Create both long-term and short-term goals. Write down things like:  Get an A in Biology. Pass the AP exam in History. Improve grade on next French quiz. After you list all of your goals, break each one down into manageable steps. Make sure to jot down any important dates, like exam days. This will help you make sure that any major deadlines don’t sneak up on you. For example, if your goal is to get an A in Biology, you might write down steps such as:   Review notes for 10 minutes each night. Start studying for tests 1 week before the test day. Ask teacher for extra credit assignments. that works with your learning style. Some people are visual learners while others do best listening to material. Try out a few different ways of studying to see what works for you. If you find that flashcards really help you retain information, you’re probably a visual learner. If you do better when a friend verbally quizzes you, you’re more of an auditory learner. It also helps to use multiple learning styles as opposed to just one.  Experiment with different methods. You can always use more than 1 way to study! Feel free to use different methods during the same study session. You can stay organized by creating an effective study schedule. That means setting aside a little bit of time for school work each day. It’s easy to find little pieces of time in your schedule each day. It’s much harder to find hours in a day each time you need to cram for a test or write a big paper.  Studying in small chunks will also help you better retain information. Aim for about an hour each day.
