Coconut oil has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Coconut oil should be your first ingredient, comprising about half of your oil base (about ½ cup). But coconut oil can also be stiff and difficult to work with, so you should think about using ½ cup of another oil as well. Excellent choices include olive oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil. Choose the dry herbs to use in your recipe. You will need 1/2 to 2/3 cup in total. These can be any combination of chamomile, calendula, comfrey, lavender, and/or plantain leaves. These can be purchased at many health food stores, specialty herb stores, or online.  Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties, making it soothing and healing for skin.  Calendula (or marigold) is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. It increases blood flow to the affected area and promotes healing.  Comfrey is anti-inflammatory. It aids in the repair of wounds and accelerates skin healing.  Lavender is a natural antiseptic with soothing anti-inflammatory properties.  Plantain leaves are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. In addition to your dried herbs, you may want to add 10 – 15 drops of tea tree oil, lavender oil, or both. Essential oils are highly potent plant essences that have been extracted, and they contain powerful healing properties. Both tea tree and lavender essential oils are powerful natural antiseptics, and both contain anti-inflammatory properties. Essential oils can be purchased at many health food stores, specialty herb stores, or online. The last crucial ingredient for homemade antibacterial ointment is beeswax (either grated or in the form of pellets). Two other optional ingredients include raw honey and witch hazel. All of these ingredients can be purchased at health food stores, specialty herb or holistic health shops, or online.  Beeswax is a skin protectant. It keeps irritants off the skin and allows air circulation into the injured area. It also helps your ointment maintain the proper consistency. Witch hazel is a natural antiseptic. It cleans the area and...

Codependency, also known as relationship addiction, is an emotional and behavioral condition that can affect many different people. If you are a codependent person, you may avoid personal uncomfortable or strong emotions in favor of focusing on another person’s needs. In codependent relationships, you may focus solely on the well-being and needs of the other person in your relationship and completely ignore yourself, often to your own detriment. There are a certain set of behaviors that you will exhibit if you are codependent. Your may notice a few or all of these at one time or another throughout your life. These behaviors include:  A tendency to avoid conflict or uncomfortable emotions, or masking your emotions with passive aggressive expressions of anger or humor Taking responsibility for other people's actions or overcompensation for a partner’s actions Misconceptions that love means rescuing another person, which leads to constant thoughts of the other person’s needs Giving more than your share in the relationship Tendency to hang on to a relationship no matter what due to your personal feelings of loyalty to your partner, even though the relationship is harmful, usually to avoid feelings of abandonment Difficulty saying no or having guilt over being assertive Extreme preoccupation with the opinions of others or valuing their opinions over your own  Difficulty communicating, identifying your own needs, or making decisions  Feeling resentment over lack of acknowledgment for your personal efforts and self-sacrifice, which often lead to feelings of guilt If you aren't sure you are codependent based on your tendencies or behaviors, there are some questions you can ask yourself that can help reveal it. These questions include:  Does/has the person you live with ever hit or abused you in any way? Do you have trouble turning people down when they ask for help? Do you get overwhelmed by how much you have to do, but never take the time to ask for help? Do you ever doubt your own wants or needs? Or not believe in...

Coffee isn’t just delicious; it’s also one of the healthiest drinks in the world apart from water. It is nearly calorie-free and filled with antioxidants, flavonoids, and other nutrients. The thing is, we tend to add all sorts of extras that inflate coffee’s calorie count and turn it into a nutritional pitfall.  Plain coffee has almost no calories. To make a healthier choice, order a basic cup of joe and limit the added calories that come in sugar and fat. These usually come from things like sugar packets, syrup, cream, whipped cream, or toppings. Order whatever size you like. The great thing about plain coffee is that you can have a large serving without a huge calorie count. A short black coffee (the smallest size) has 3 calories; a venti (the largest size) has 5. Espresso was pioneered in Italy. It’s is a kind of coffee that’s brewed by forcing boiling water through finely ground coffee beans and makes a strong, concentrated brew topped with foam or “crema.” While espresso forms the base of other coffee beverages like caffe latte, caffe macchiato, and cappuccino, when served plain it tastes great and is low in calories.  Order a single or double shot of plain espresso, or in Starbucks terms a “solo” or “doppio.” The first has 5 calories and the second 10. Be prepared for small portions sizes, however, as the shots will be smaller than your normal cup of brewed coffee. Caffe Americano is plain espresso, too, made by adding extra hot water to a single or double shot of espresso. It has a few more calories than brewed coffee (5 for a short, 25 for venti), but is still a good option. As far as “enhanced” coffees go, cappuccino and lattes fare well enough to be a treat if you want to order something special. Cappuccino is made by adding hot water and steamed milk foam to plain espresso. A latte is also espresso but with added steamed milk and a bit of foam on top.  A short cappuccino with regular milk has about 80 calories, which drops to 50 if you opt for non-fat or soy milk. A venti has 110, 120, and 150...

Coffee or other types of caffeinated beverages  can give you a much-needed energy boost to get you through the night, especially if you pace your coffee drinking so that you don't crash heavily and painfully in those hours between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. which is when a lot of people fail.  Coffee takes about 15 to 30 minutes to kick in, but the benefits from it can last 3 to 4 hours. If you plan on drinking a cup of coffee every few hours, you'll keep pretty awake and energized. When you stop drinking your caffeinated drink, you will crash heavily. Avoid it either by spacing out coffee drinks or by utilizing other staying awake methods. If you don't want to drink caffeinated beverages, drink very cold water and sip on ice chips. The coldness can help to keep you awake and alert. To sleep, your body prefers to be at a slightly warm temperature, so if the temperature of your environment is comfortably warm and cozy, it'll be harder it will be to stay awake. Turn on a fan in your room, if you can, or open the windows.  If your environment is too warm and you can't cool it down enough, consider taking a cold shower. That will give you a boost of alertness. You can also apply cold compresses to your head and wrists.  The best temperature range for sleeping can vary by person. On average, most people sleep best between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18.3 and 22.2 degrees Celsius). Try a temperature just below that range, but if you're still getting drowsy, you could try playing around with the temperature more to see if you need the temperature even colder. Moving around and taking a break helps get your blood flowing and keeps you from feeling sleepy. Scientists found that exercising could be more effective than some medications for increasing energy and reducing fatigue (this does not mean that you should stop taking medication if you're on some).  Take breaks from your computer screen. Staring at your computer screen for hours and hours on end can cause eyestrain and make your sleepiness and fatigue worse. Relax your...

Coffee tastes best when brewed right after the roast. Look for a “roasted on” date on the label, and get the freshest possible. Buy no more than two weeks’ worth of coffee at once, so it doesn’t go stale in your pantry. A vacuum-sealed, opaque bag keeps coffee fresher than other packaging. If you’re not a full-fledged coffee fanatic yet, start with a medium roast for coffee, or a dark roast if you’re making espresso. To explore more flavors, experiment with roasts ranging from mild light roasts to the darkest, charred beans. There are actually many degrees of roast that fit into “medium” and “dark,” so try several, comparing the color of the beans.  While extra-dark roasts have become “sophisticated,” many coffee lovers prefer a medium or medium dark roast that doesn’t scorch away the unique flavors of the bean. If you’re serious about finding your perfect cup, learn to roast your own beans. Once you’ve had some practice, you can make the freshest coffee possible with perfect control over the roast strength. Make sure your coffee manufacturer has nothing to hide. The label should state the type of bean (arabica or robusta) and the country of origin. A blend sourced from multiple countries may mean the manufacturer is choosing cost over quality, but there are certainly high-quality exceptions. The real danger sign is a label that doesn’t provide this information at all. In your quest for perfect beans, choose 100% arabica beans, or a blend with a small proportion of robusta if you enjoy more caffeine. Not all arabica beans are top notch, especially if sold as a dark roast, but the best examples are much tastier and less bitter than robusta. Exposure to air, light, heat, or moisture can ruin the flavor of your coffee beans. Kitchen supply stores sell a great solution: ceramic containers with a latch lid, lined with a rubber band. Sealed plastic tubs or zip-locked bags are okay, but not as airtight. Temperature changes cause flavorful liquids to condense and evaporate. Keep beans at room temperature, or in the...

Cognitive distortions are negative or unrealistic thought patterns that can keep you feeling stressed or depressed. Your mind perceives reality in a distorted manner, leading to rumination or persistent obsessing over negative events or experiences. There are many cognitive distortions recognized in popular psychology. Some are listed below.  All-or-nothing, or black-and-white thinking- seeing everything in absolutes, either this or that no in-between (e.g. "If they do not love me, they must hate me.") Emotional reasoning- attaching your reality to your current emotional state (e.g. "I feel crappy today, so no one will want to be around me.") Labeling- identifying shortcomings excessively (e.g. "I'm a loser.") Jumping to conclusions- either mind-reading or predicting a negative future by fortune-telling (e.g. "I saw Chelsea today and she didn't speak to me. She must not be my friend anymore" or "I already know I will make myself look like a fool at the talent show.") Magnification- blowing things out of proportion (e.g. "I made an F on my English paper. I'm going to fail the class and have to take it over again.") Should statements- using "should," "ought to," "have to," or "must" in your self-talk (e.g. "I should have known better than to think he liked me.") One you learn what cognitive distortions are and how to identify them, you need to learn how to attack their logic. Doing this gives you power over your thoughts and teaches you to become a constant observer of what's going through your head. If you notice yourself playing into negative thought patterns, try the following strategies:  Start by examining the accuracy of your thoughts. For example, you say "No one likes me." You need to pay attention to see if this seems accurate or not in your life. Consider the evidence. Are you always alone? Do people purposely try to be with you sometimes? Do your friends and family ever comment about how they enjoy your company? Practice mindfulness. It's no fun to beat yourself about your thoughts. When you notice...

Cold cut deli meat and cheese is standard in a lot of simple sandwiches since they’re easy to assemble. Try different deli meats, such as ham, turkey, or roast beef, to see what you like the best and layer a few slices on your bread. Then pick your favorite type of cheese to put on top of the meat. Spread mayonnaise or mustard on one of your bread slices and assemble your sandwich.  Some classic combinations you can try are ham or turkey with Swiss cheese, or roast beef and Cheddar. Toast the sandwich if you want to melt the cheese and heat the meat. Layer multiple slices of meat, cheese, toast, and vegetables to make a club sandwich. Cook 3-4 strips of bacon in a frying pan or in your oven until they’re crispy and set them on a paper towel to absorb some of the grease. Lightly toast your bread so it’s golden brown and crunchy. Place bacon, tomato, and lettuce on top one of the bread slices and put mayo on the top slice of your sandwich to finish your BLT.  Include avocado slices or use turkey bacon if you want to make your sandwich healthier. Try different kinds of bacon, such as maple-infused or hickory smoked, to change the flavor of your BLT. Start by cooking the bacon in a frying pan or in your oven until the strips are crispy. Either fry your eggs or scramble them so it’s easier to put on your sandwich. Toast your bread and layer the bacon and eggs on the bottom. Top your sandwich with cheese and mayonnaise to finish it so you can enjoy breakfast.  Put vegetables, like tomatoes, onions, or peppers, in your eggs to make your sandwich have a fresh flavor. Use a biscuit or an English muffin instead of bread if you want your sandwich to feel more like a breakfast meal. Cut 2 slices of rye or pumpernickel bread and spread butter on them. Set one of the slices buttered side down in a pan, and layer slices of corned beef and Swiss cheese on top of the slice. Spread sauerkraut and Russian dressing on top of the meat and cheese before topping it with the other slice of bread. Heat the sandwich over medium-low...

Cold sores are very contagious and can be spread even in the early stages of an outbreak, before a blister develops. The virus can spread from person to person through shared utensils, razors, and towels or through kissing. Oral sex can also spread herpes. HSV-1 can spread to the genital area, and HSV-2 can spread to the lips. The herpes virus uses the amino acid arginine to grow and replicate. When you take in a lot of arginine through your food, your body is more vulnerable to attacks from the virus. As a result, you will have more frequent cold sore outbreaks. Avoid the following arginine-rich foods:  Chocolate Nuts Peanuts Seeds Cereal grains Even when you're not having an outbreak, it's a good idea to take a daily lysine supplement to prevent future outbreaks. 1 – 3 grams of lysine supplement may reduce the number and severity of herpes outbreaks. You can also make a point to work foods that naturally contain large amounts of lysine into your regular diet:  Fish Chicken Beef Lamb Milk Cheese Beans. Though the virus works differently from person to person, there are common triggers known to cause herpes outbreaks. By reducing these triggers (if you can), you may experience fewer outbreaks:  Viral fever Hormonal changes, such as menstrual periods or pregnancy Changes in your immune system, like severe burns, chemotherapy, or anti-rejection drugs after organ transplants  Stress Fatigue Exposure to sun and wind The healthier your body is as a whole, the better it will be able to suppress the virus, thus reducing the frequency of outbreaks.  Eat a healthy diet with foods rich in lysine. Reduce your intake of arginine-rich foods. Sleep at least 8 hours each night. Exercise each day to help reduce stress levels. Take vitamin supplements to reduce your risk of developing a viral fever. Wear protection on your lips when you're out in the sun.

Colleges are typically looking for students who have a wide breadth of knowledge. This means that you should try to take a variety of classes in a number of fields. Begin planning your classes as early as your freshman year to make sure you fit everything in. Don’t worry, you’ll still have time to take classes that interest you! Plan to take classes in each of these areas:  English. Take an English class each year and aim for a mix of writing and literature courses, if your school offers all of these options. Math. Take at least 3 years of high school math. Look for a combination of Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Science. Take at least 3 years of high school science. Try a combination of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science. Social Studies. Take at least 3 years in this area, with a mix of U.S. history, world history, and government classes. Foreign Language. Colleges like to see students with a good foundation of foreign language skills, so take at least 3 years in high school. Arts. Colleges look for well-rounded students, so take at least 2 years of art courses. These might be studio art, music, or drama. College applications take a lot of work, but with careful planning, you can make sure to get everything done. Applications are typically due in the fall, so you’ll want to be working on your applications over the summer. Start by making a list of the colleges you want to apply to and gathering all of the application information. Make a list of important things to remember, such as: The date when each application is due. Who will provide your recommendations and when you will request them. A schedule for working on each application and when you will complete it. It’s a good idea to start with the application that is due first.

Colle’s fracture is the most common distal radius fracture, and it occurs in all age groups, although it is especially prevalent in older men and women with osteoporosis (reduced bone density). It typically occurs when someone falls onto an outstretched arm, bending the hand backward at the wrist.  Colle’s fractures occur at the metaphyseal region (right above the end of the bone, where growth takes place). The articular surface remains intact, and the broken fragment is displaced backward, where it gets impacted. In about fifty percent of all cases, there is also an ulnar styloid fracture. The typical treatment for a Colle’s fracture is closed reduction and immobilization in a “Colle’s cast,” which extends from just below the elbow to the knuckles of the hand. If the fracture is unstable, it may need to be treated with open reduction and internal fixation – surgical procedures designed to correct fractures that won’t heal properly with a splint or cast. Smith’s fracture occurs in the same location as Colle’s fracture; in fact, it is often referred to as a “reversed Colle’s fracture.” Less common than Colle’s fracture, it typically occurs when someone falls backward onto the palm of an outstretched hand (or, in some cases, when there is a direct blow to the back of the forearm). The fractured segment, hand, and wrist are displaced forward relative to the forearm. The typical treatment for a Smith’s fracture is closed reduction and immobilization in a cast. If the displacement is severe, it may need to be treated surgically – with open reduction and internal fixation, like a Colle’s fracture. Barton’s fracture also occurs at the distal end of the radius, but it is accompanied by a dislocation of the radio-carpal joint (the joint that connects the radius to the wrist bones). The fractured piece may be pushed backward or forward.  In many cases, a Barton’s fracture happens along with a fracture of the radial styloid process. Unlike Colle’s and Smith’s fractures, Barton’s fractures are usually visible on an...

Cologne is not necessary at work, but it's generally acceptable. A big event, such as a wedding, funeral, party, or night out on the town, might easily call for cologne.  Be aware of how your body's oils interact with your cologne. If you're going clubbing, for example, it may not be the best idea to apply lots of cologne: your natural body odor mixed with cologne may be even worse smelling than just your natural body odor. Some people are allergic to cologne. You'll need to be sensitive of this potential issue when working in an office or spending time in other indoor areas. Any other reason to wear cologne ("Because I want to feel like a man," "Because my friend is doing it," etc.) is pointless. That being said, apply it when you feel like it and enjoy your scent. Many men prefer to wear one cologne during the day, at work, and a completely different one when they go out. Some sources recommend a lighter, citrus-based scent for afternoons and workplace environments, and a stronger scent with spice undertones or musky notes for the night.

Colorful dish soap is less likely to freeze all the way. It is also harder to mistake colorful dish soap for something edible in the freezer. If you want your gel pack to look like a traditional gel pack, you may want to opt for blue dish soap. You can fill the bag as full as you want it with dish soap. There is no set amount. Simply fill the bag until your ice pack is as big and bulky as you want it. Keep in mind more dish soap can cause a bag to take longer to freeze. If you need your ice pack very soon, opt to use less dish soap. Place your bag in the refrigerator. Allow it to freeze overnight. When you take the gel pack out of the fridge, it should be semi-frozen and ready to use on sore areas of your body.

Combine 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of lemon juice, 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of soybean oil, 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of soy sauce, ¼ cup (32 g) of white sugar, ¼ cup (32 g) of black pepper, ¼ cup (32 g) of garlic salt, ¼ cup (32 g) of chopped garlic, and ¼ cup (32 g) of chopped dried onions in large mixing bowl. Place the tri tip in a plastic container or baking dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it soak in the fridge for 6 to 12 hours. First, insert an oven-safe thermometer into the fattest part of the tri tip so you can monitor the temperature. Cook until the temperature of the meat reaches 135 °F (57 °C), based on the thermometer reading. To allow the temperature of the meat to rise to 145 °F (63 °C), you’ll need to cover the roasting pan with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes, then you are ready to carve it.

Combine one tablespoon of raw honey, one egg white, one teaspoon of lemon juice or witch hazel, and ½ teaspoon of peppermint, spearmint, lavender, calendula, or thyme essential oil. Stir until thoroughly mixed.  Raw honey has natural antibacterial and astringent properties. Egg white thickens the mixture and also acts as an astringent. Lemon juice is an astringent and also a whitening agent.. Witch hazel is an astringent but does not have a whitening effect.  The recommended essential oils have antibacterial or antiseptic properties and can help kill bacteria on your skin. Use your fingertips to gently spread the mask over your face, neck, or other problem areas. You can also use a cotton-tipped swab to apply the mask to problem spots and blemishes. Allow the mask to dry for 15 minutes. Make sure to rinse your skin thoroughly. Leaving any mask on your skin could clog pores.  Pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer. The starch in oatmeal is known to remove oil, while at the same time moisturizing the skin. Oatmeal is also anti-inflammatory, which can help soothe irritated skin and inflamed pores.  Combine one cup of rolled oats with 2/3 cup of boiling hot water.

Tobacco is useful in targeting caterpillars, aphids, and worms, but it is not safe to use on peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, or any member of the solanaceous plant family. Put the container somewhere it won't be disturbed. Allow the mixture to rest for 24 hours. Ideally, the pesticide will look similar to the hue of a light tea. If it is too dark, dilute it with water. If it is too light to see, allow it to sit an additional few hours. Opt for a mild soap like Dawn or castile soap for best results. Pour it directly into the mixture, then stir thoroughly to combine the ingredients. Use a funnel to transfer to liquid into a squirt bottle and replace the nozzle.

Combine the two ingredients in a blender at high speed until the flax seeds are almost impossible to distinguish.  This should take roughly 1 minute or so. The resulting mixture should be very frothy. Choose a milk with the most neutral taste and smoothest texture possible. Unsweetened almond milk and unflavored soy milk are recommended. Avoid hemp or oat milk. You could use a food processor instead of a blender for this recipe, if desired. Whisking the ingredients by hand could also work, but it will be much more difficult to fully incorporate the flax seeds into the almond milk if you mix it by hand. The flax seeds replace the eggs in this recipe and are responsible for binding and thickening the spicy vegan mayo. They must be well blended before this thickening ability is activated, though. Transfer the sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, salt, paprika, and hot sauce to the contents of the blender and blend for another 30 seconds or so on high speed. Make sure that the hot sauce you use is vegan-friendly. If desired, you could skip the hot sauce altogether and use 3 small chilli padi, chopped into fine pieces. Add the lemon juice and vinegar to the mayo mixture in the blender. Blend for another few seconds on high speed until combined. As with traditional egg-based mayonnaise, the lemon juice and vinegar in this recipe add acidity and flavor to the mayo. Add the grapeseed oil in 1 Tbsp (15 ml) batches. Blend for a full 30 seconds after adding each batch of oil.  Alternatively, you can slowly add the oil to the mayo mixture through the hole in the top of the lid in a slow, steady, and continuous stream. The essential thing is that the oil must be added slowly and evenly. Otherwise, the texture will not be consistent. Pause the blender every now and then when it starts to get hot. Otherwise, it will cause the mayo to heat up along with it. The mayo should begin to thicken after you have added half the oil. After you have added 3/4 of the oil, it should be spreadable. The final addition will create a thick...

Combine the two spices in a mortar and grind them down into a powder using a pestle.  If you do not have a mortar and pestle, you could also grind the spices with a coffee grinder or the side of a knife. If using a coffee grinder, make sure to clean the machine well before using it for coffee. If using a knife, crush the coriander seeds and peppercorns into powder by smashing them on a cutting board with the side of your knife, using the heel of your hand to apply pressure to flat side of the blade from the other side. Remove the beef brisket from the brine mixture and pat dry with clean paper towels. The cut of meat needs to be fairly dry in order to get the dry rub to stick effectively. There can be a little dampness, but it should not be “dripping wet.” Apply the pepper and coriander rub over all sides of the brisket generously, using up to the full amount, if desired. Most of the surface should be covered. If, however, you prefer a less potent flavor, you can cut down on the amount of rub you use and apply it only according to your own tastes.

Combine ½ cup (118.3 mL) of warm water and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of sugar in a small bowl. Once the sugar is dissolved, add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of instant yeast to the bowl. Stir the yeast and sugar water thoroughly. Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes to rest. Stir the salt and flour thoroughly using a spoon. Then, make a hole in the center of the bowl using the spoon. Stir the yeast into the flour mixture using a spoon or your hands. Continue stirring until the dough starts to form. If the dough is too dry, add more water. To knead the dough, roll the dough back and forth in the bowl using your hand. When you’re finished, the dough should be a smooth ball. After an hour, check on the dough. If it has doubled in size, it’s finished rising. If not, re-cover with the damp cloth and let it continue to rise. Place the bowl of dough in a warm place to help it rise faster. Sprinkle a pinch of flour onto the dough to help you roll it out. Bring the rolling pin back and forth so the dough gets flat and round. Keep rolling until the dough is about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. This will be the crust for your pizza. Gently pierce the surface of the dough with the fork every .5 inches (1.3 cm) or so across the dough's surface. The holes will let air circulate through the dough so it doesn't bubble up in the microwave. Start with pizza sauce and cheese. Then, add your toppings of choice. You can add chopped vegetables like onions, peppers, and mushrooms. If you want to put meat on your pizza, make sure it’s already cooked all the way through. After 4 minutes, check on the pizza. If the cheese doesn’t look melted, microwave it for another 1-2 minutes. If your microwave didn’t come with a wire rack, look for one online or at your local shopping center. Transfer the pizza from the wire rack to a plate using a spatula. Use a knife to divide the pizza into even slices.

Combining water and oil in a bag will create a lava that is fun to squish around. It can last a long time, as long as you keep the bag sealed. Here is what you will need:  Ziploc bag (or similar re-sealable bag) Baby oil Glow-in-the-dark paint or fluorescent paint Water How much oil you use will depend on the size of your Ziploc bag. You will need to fill the bag ¼ to 1/3 full. Do not fill the bag all the way. You can also use olive oil or another pale-colored oil. Baby oil, however, is clear and will allow you to see the lava's colors at their best. In a small cup, combine 1 part paint and 1 part hot water. Stir until everything is combined. You can use glow-in-the-dark paint or fluorescent paint. This will make your lava. You can use any color you like, but reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks will create the most realistic-looking lava. Consider adding some glitter to make your lava sparkly. You will need 1 to 4 tablespoons of lava. Simply measure out the lava and add it to the bag. The lava will not mix with the oil, but form globs instead. Close the bag partway, and squeeze out as much air as possible before closing the bag the rest of the way. There should be little to no air inside the bag. Make sure that the bag is tightly sealed. You can put clear packaging tape over the top of the bag so that it does not open. You can play with your lava by taking the bag into a dark room, and squishing the bag around with your fingers. The globs of paint will move around! Do not open the bag, or the lava will escape!  If you made glow-in-the-dark lava, you will need to charge your lava by leaving it in the sun or under a bright lamp for a few minutes. If you made fluorescent lava, you will need to use a black light. Simply turn off the regular lights and switch on your black light. The fluorescent lava will then glow.

Comfort your friend according to how upset they seem to be. If they seem to be very troubled, it may take more effort on your part to help them. If something is bothering them, but they aren’t too upset, be there for them without overreacting. You might upset your friend further if you overreact or under-react to their problem, so use their behavior as your guide for how to proceed. Before you say anything, try to figure out what the problem is. This will help you know what to say and what not to say. If you try to talk to your friend without knowing the situation first, you could end up with your foot in your mouth.  Say something like, “What’s going on?” or, “Do you want to tell me what happened?” If your friend is too upset to talk, don’t push them for an explanation. Just stay with them until they calm down. Your presence will be comforting, even if you don’t say much. A kind touch will do wonders for your friend, even if you don’t know what they’re upset about. You can also put your arm around your friend or pat them gently on the shoulder. If your friend doesn’t like hugs, don’t force one. Just sit near them and keep them company. Say something like, “I’ll just sit here with you.” If your friend needs to get their sadness or anger out, let them. Pay attention and don’t interrupt. Encourage them to express themselves fully. For instance, you could say, “Tell me more about that,” or, “How does that make you feel?” During pauses, you might add something like, “I’m listening.” Your friend needs someone to listen compassionately to them right now, so focus on doing that. Be patient and non-judgmental. Encourage them to keep talking as long as they need to. Don’t act bored or try to change the subject.  Put your phone on silent mode so you and your friend won’t be interrupted. If you need to get to an appointment or you’re not in a good environment to talk, gently let your friend know by saying something like, “I think we should talk somewhere else,” or, “Can we continue this later? I need to go somewhere,...

Coming out with your sexuality will relieve you of a burden. It is a lot harder for you to meet others if no one knows your situation. Coming out conveys your confidence, and for many this is attractive.  This can be an incredibly difficult task for some.  Seek out a close friend who knows the truth and ask for their support. Some conservative families do not support this, and it can be painful. Consider coming out to a select group before talking to your family, if you're in this scenario. Always consider if it will be more harmful than helpful. It is easier to track down someone who has already come out as opposed to searching through a haystack. Even if you don't want a relationship, getting to know this person could help introduce you to others. Start a gay/straight alliance at your school or join the current chapter. Find some other type of organization that you know is friendly like art or theater. Find a guy that you can hang around comfortably without seeming "clingy". Make him your friend, and hang out a lot. Make sure that you want to go through with this. Sometimes, people make decisions that they haven't thought through and it hurts them in the long run. Make sure you're ready for a relationship.  Don't rush into a relationship for the sake of a relationship. If you want to Make Sex Important in a Relationship, make sure to communicate properly and do it safely. Note that a relationship based solely on sex can be very rocky or even damaging if not dealt with maturely. If there is an older LGBT person you know, consult them for advice. You'll be surprised how much reassurance they can instill by telling their struggles as a youth. Many counselling services in schools have a faculty member who specializes in this type of advice.

Comments about your ex while with your new partner are a good sign of an incomplete breakup.  Negative energy related to your ex, or constant comparisons to your ex, means you are upset about the breakup, and focusing more on it than the new relationship.  Constant comments about your ex, like derogatory gripes about the entire sex, are a good sign you haven’t let go. Aggressively bitter comments about your ex are an even clearer sign you’re not over the past.  Your new relationship isn’t getting an even share of attention. When you look for your ex in your new partner, it’s a sure sign you have looked for a replacement rather than a new love.  Constant thoughts or comments of the attributes that drew you to your ex show, an unwillingness to embrace the new partner’s qualities.  A few examples follow:  ”Your hair looks just like my ex’s hair.  It’s the same style and color.” ”I can’t believe you like the cooking shows.  My ex likes the same ones.” ”I’m so glad you don’t have a cat.  The cat my ex had was so ugly.” If the end of your last relationship was completely out of the blue, caught you completely by surprise, then your current relationship may be a rebound.  Relationships that are troubled for longer periods have more time to wind down.  Abrupt breakups often require longer periods before new relationships are healthy. Sudden breakups require more time to mourn, because the shock is difficult to accept. Commitment is more difficult in a new relationship when the previous breakup was unforeseen. Everyone has met the recently broken up person who can steer any conversation or topic into their previous relationship, the former love of their life.  That person is generally irritating, and if in a new relationship, likely on the rebound.  If you constantly talk about the pain of the past relationship with your current partner, it’s likely a rebound relationship. Using your new partner’s shoulder to cry into is not a great sign for the current relationship. When you’re spending more time talking about the...

Commit to doing something together regularly. Making an activity a ritual means that you can regularly look forward to spending time together doing something that is special to you both. Engage the activity regularly and know that this is time set aside for you to be together. You may choose to watch a tv show together weekly, share coffee in the mornings, take a daily walk together, or regularly engage in an activity together, such as camping or a dance class. Relive the day you told your spouse you loved her, or the day you became engaged. Go to the same restaurants, see the same movie, and go back to the places that are special for you. Reliving a memory can ignite the feelings of those moments when they first happened. Reliving the memories can help you reconnect to what brought you two together. Recreate the day as best as you can. Remember any important people or events that made the day especially memorable. Recapture the joy and excitement and have it again for a second time. Trying something new together is a fun way to connect and share a new experience as a couple. Trying something new can be as easy as trying a new restaurant or exploring a new activity, like going to a hot spring.  The more interesting the new experience, the more vivid the memories. Try something exciting together, perhaps even a little scary, like bungee jumping or skydiving. The adrenaline of the sport with the excitement will make it an unforgettable experience for both of you! Bring home a special dinner for your spouse, or go an a surprise adventure together. Take a surprise vacation together or even a surprise weekend trip together. Surprises are fun ways to add excitement to a relationship while having fun together. You can also surprise your spouse with gifts “just because” like flowers or something meaningful to your hobbies. The more laughter there is in a marriage, the more fun you allow yourself to have together. Approach even difficult situations with a light side. Even in the bleakest times, find something...

Communicate confidence by keeping your head up. Don’t look down or try to hide yourself from others. Remove your hat or hoodie, push your hair out of your face and allow yourself to be seen. Stand up straight and don’t stoop or slouch. Practice the following to get good, confident posture:  Relax and pull back your shoulders. Gently pull in your stomach. Keep your weight balanced on both feet. Allow your hands to hang loosely by your side. Keep your head straight. Relax your knees. Take off your sunglasses and look people in the eye when talking or listening to them. Break eye contact every few seconds to avoid coming across as aggressive instead of confident. Walk comfortably but with a sense of purpose. Keep your head up and your shoulders relaxed, allowing your arms to swing naturally by your sides. You’ll be surprised at how confident you come across when you walk with a sense of purpose. Communicate your confidence by smiling at people when appropriate. Avoid showing too many teeth because this might give the impression that you’re seeking approval from others. Direct your smile to people who return it and avoid smiling at people who give off a negative vibe.

Companies create affiliate programs to help push their products. When you become a program member—which is usually free—you can make links to promote the products on your website or another site. When people buy the products through your links, you will get a piece of the profits. As a member of an affiliate network, you can choose to promote any of several thousand products. It is possible to make up to 50–75% of the profit on each sale that results from your promotion. Affiliate programs are everywhere online, and it can be hard to tell them apart. Each program distinguishes itself by the products it sells. Some affiliate programs only require you to post links; others will ask you to pay money to learn about how to sell the product you are selling. As the latter type of affiliate, you can make commissions by getting others to pay—by bringing other marketers into the fold. Be wary, however, of any program that asks you to pay. There are a few ways that you can make money from online affiliate marketing:  Cost-per-click: you get paid a very low amount every time someone clicks from your content onto the advertiser’s site. This is good for high-traffic content. Cost-per-lead: you get paid a low amount (but slightly more than cost-per-click) every time someone signs up or fills a form with the advertiser using a link from your content. Cost-per-acquisition: you get paid a fixed or percentage-based commission every time someone buys from the advertiser using a link from your content. Cost-per-acquisition marketing is good for focused, high-quality content. First, you must decide which affiliate program to join. Affiliate programs often have a theme, such as gardening or weight loss, and you should find a theme that interests you. Look for a network with a lot of product codes that are relevant to your topic. Consider networks like Commission Junction, LinkShare, ShareaSale, Clickbank, and Amazon. Remember, it isn't really about the network – it's about whether the network is relevant to the content of your website.

Companies like Dropbox, Google Drive and many others offer cloud storage for your most important files and can also act as an effective file transfer method between laptops. You'll need an account with one of these providers (initial membership and some storage space is typically free). The limitations to this method will be storage space, upload time, and potential cost -  however if you need to move smaller files on a more frequently basis this may be a great solution for you. Depending on the service this may be as simple as dragging and dropping the files to your open internet browser, or could involve a more formal file upload procedure. Wait while the cloud service uploads your files in full. Download the files you want to this laptop and the transfer is complete! Cloud services also provide extra security through consistent file backup and the possibility of collaborative file editing, so getting to know cloud storage may be a smart move for you regardless!

Compare and contrast the teachings and philosophy of each practice. For long-term goals, consider which one emphasizes areas that you wish to develop both mentally and physically. To learn kung fu quickly, however, choose one that already plays to your strengths.  The two most prominent schools are Wu Dong and Shaolin. In Wu Dong, the emphasis is on the “internal” with the aim of developing your chi (life force). Shaolin focuses on the “external” with exercises that strengthen your body. Kung fu styles are further distinguished by the geography of their origins. Northern styles tend to incorporate a lot of leg work and acrobatics. Southern styles, on the other hand, emphasize solid footing and more arm work. Another distinction between styles is hard versus soft. Hard styles teach you to meet your opponent with equal or greater force, while soft styles rely more on using your opponent’s momentum to their disadvantage. See exactly how your body is supposed to move and orient itself to execute moves and stances correctly. Begin with basic moves like kicks and punches. Then watch how these individual moves are incorporated into longer katas (choreographed exercises that combine a variety of movements).  Watch each clip multiple times. Each time, pay close attention to just one area of the demonstrator’s body. Focus on their feet in one viewing. Then focus on their hips. Then their waist. And so on. This way, when you practice it yourself and, say, strike with your arms, you’ll know exactly how your feet and legs should be reinforcing your body so you can deliver your strike with the most efficiency. To further expand your understanding of kung fu, also watch clips of other martial arts to see how they differ. Note how kung fu appears more fluid in motion. utilizing more circular techniques than are found in other arts, like karate, where movements are more direct and linear. Even though you want to learn kung fu quickly, resist the temptation to train too hard too fast. Although kung fu aims to instill...

Compare it to buying houses -- do you want to buy a dump for a pittance, spruce it up quickly, and unload it for a smaller but more immediate profit?  Or, do you want to buy a nice house with good “bones” but flaws that you can transform into a great house to keep or sell at a larger but longer-term profit?  It's your money, so consider your strategy carefully before you start buying.  If you want to flip websites, you obviously need to buy “low” to have any chance of quickly making a profit.  But it isn't just about seeking out the biggest bargain.  That dirt-cheap fixer-upper house may become a condemned money pit before you can flip it if you don't do your homework first. If you're looking elsewhere than wikiHow for online advice on flipping websites, keep an eye out, because many advice sites are just sales pitches for an e-book or how-to seminar.  Maybe that is something that interests you, but don't get roped in unwillingly. That said, some of these sales-pitch sites do make good points.  For instance, one sensibly compares website buying to billionaire Warren Buffett's investment strategy -- buy established, good companies (websites) that are undervalued and that you can make better.  It's not always the cheapest or fastest route, but often offers the best return. Be realistic about the time and money you can spend to make a site better, your level of familiarity with website design and operation, and your knowledge of the product/service/information offered by a site.  Are you buying with the intent of making money by generating more ad revenue?  This is one of the most popular strategies, but make sure you understand Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  There is a science (as well as an art) to directing traffic (and thus ad revenue) to a website. Consider buying a site with traffic targeted toward a product or service that you already produce or sell.  Use it to complement what you already know and do.  You may also have opportunities for streamlining or merging operations as well -- saving money is a...

Compile a list of both easy and difficult tasks. Note emails that you need to return, forms to be submitted, meetings to attend, and any other things you need to complete by the end of the day. Place the most important tasks at the beginning of your list and the least important at the end. If you find any tasks that seem inconsequential or unnecessary, get rid of them. Don't waste your time with "fluff" work. It will only hurt your productivity. Getting organized is the first step to a really productive day. The main steps are decluttering, strategically organizing forms and information, and maintaining that organization.  First, get rid of anything you don't need while you're at work. Knick knacks and family photos are ok, but anything else should be put in another room. You need to create a clean space free of distractions. Second, determine what forms or information (e.g., business cards, standard forms, email lists, payroll logs, or data reports) you need to have readily available. Purchase folders and place each kind of information in the same place. This way you'll know where to find it in the future. Third, at the end of every day, do some basic maintenance to your organization system. Make sure all forms are put away properly. This way when you arrive in the morning, you won't be confronted with a mess. Delegate tasks. Break up complex assignments into manageable parts and then assign those parts to individual members of your team. Don't waste days to complete a task that a small group can accomplish in a couple of hours. Remember that it's okay to say "no" to additional responsibilities. If someone asks you to help on a project that you just don't have time for this week, explain that you'd usually be happy to help but you have a deadline for school that you can't miss.

Compression bags are fantastic if you just can't avoid taking bulkier items, like ski gear or heavy winter coats. Compression packing bags work by removing all of the air from the bag, so the items takes up a much smaller space than before. Many brands do their own version of the compression packing bag, including Spacepak bags from Flight 001 and Space bags from Ziploc. Bundling is the current packing method de rigueur which makes excellent use of space and prevents clothes from becoming overly wrinkles. It is done by wrapping several items of clothing tightly around a central object such as an organizer pouch (filled with more items - of course) to form a cylindrical shaped bundle. Several of these bundles can then be packed into a relatively small space, making for very economical packing.  When using the bundling method, place the most wrinkle-resistant items like jeans and jackets on the inside of the bundle, and more delicate, wrinkle-prone items like linen trousers and fine knits on the outside. Wrap each item individually, rather than all at once, making sure the fabric is pulled taut enough that it doesn't wrinkle, but not so tight that it stretches the material.  Once you have reached the bottom of your pile of clothing, place the bundle into your bag or suitcase and pack tightly or secure tightly with the bags tie-down straps. If the bundle is not secured properly before travelling, it may unravel, causing your clothes to crease. Simply folding your clothes and stacking them one on top of the other is not the most efficient method of packing, regardless of how your mother used to do it. Folded clothes take up a lot of space and are more prone to becoming wrinkled during transit. Stick with the bundling method outlines above, or at the very least try to roll your clothes so they take up less room. Don't forget about all the empty space inside your shoes that you can use for storing smaller items like socks, underwear, jewelry or anything else you can think of. When packing efficiently it is...

Computer animation makes doing either two-dimensional or three-dimensional animation easier than doing the work by hand. Three-dimensional animation requires learning additional skills besides animation. You'll need to learn how to light a scene, and also how to create the illusion of texture. How much computer you need depends on whether you're doing 2-D or 3-D animation.  For 2-D animation, a fast processor is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. Nonetheless, get a quad-core processor if you can afford it, and at least a dual-core processor if you're buying a used computer.  For 3-D animation, however, you want the fastest processor you can afford because of all the rendering work you'll do. You'll also want to have a significant amount of memory to support that processor. You'll more than likely spend several thousand dollars on a new computer workstation.  For either form of animation, you'll want as large a monitor as your planned work area can accommodate, and you may want to consider a two-monitor setup if you have several detail-oriented program windows open at once. Some monitors, such as the Cintiq, are designed specifically for animation.  You should also consider using a graphics tablet, an input device connected to your computer with a surface you draw on with a stylus, such as the Intuos Pro, in place of a mouse. Starting out, you may want to use a cheaper stylus pen to trace over your pencil drawings to transfer images to your computer. Software is available for both 2-D and 3-D animation, with inexpensive options available for beginners and more sophisticated and more costly options you can migrate to as your budget and skill directs.  For 2-D animation, you  can produce animated images quickly using Adobe Flash, with the help of one of the many free tutorials available. When you're ready to learn to animate frame-by-frame, you can use a graphics program like Adobe Photoshop or a program that has a feature similar to Photoshop's Timeline feature. For 3-D animation, you can start with free...

Conducting this type of discipline in a private area preserves the dignity of your child and prevents unnecessary embarrassment. The focus should be on discipline and additional embarrassment for your child should be minimized.  Most experts are adamant that children should never be spanked under any circumstances. Nonetheless, some parents believe that spanking is the best way to get children to adhere to rules. Whatever your position is on spanking, it’s clear that spanking can have some negative consequences. Therefore this method of discipline should be used sparingly and only to prevent your child from engaging in dangerous activities. Be sure that siblings and other children are not present during the spanking. If a spanking occurs in a public place you should take your child to a private area away from onlookers. It is important that your child understands why they are being disciplined so that they learn what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Try to use all discipline, including spankings, as a teaching opportunity and not just punishment.  Be sure to use clear age-appropriate language that your child understands when you explain the consequence. For example, you could say, "Donnie, you were running through the house with the scissors and almost ran into your brother. I have already given you a warning about this behavior so now it is time for a spanking." Whenever possible, give your a child a warning before proceeding to spank. This will allow him/her the opportunity to adjust his behavior to avoid the spanking. This position allows you to spank the child appropriately without causing injury. However, older children may stand up facing forward. Make sure that your child is fully clothed during spankings. Spankings on bare skin can cause bruising and other avoidable injuries. Be sure to use an open hand and use limited force. Pats should never leave any bruising or marks of any kind. The focus should be on teaching your child better behavior, not hurting him/her.  Objects should never be used...

Conflicts bring out our emotional natures, even if the conflict itself isn't an emotional one. While it's tough to cool down in the heat of the moment, it can be helpful to tell yourself something like "Okay, I know that arguing with Roberto usually gets my blood boiling, so I'm going to try to stay calm. I won't let my emotions dictate the tenor of the conversion. Count to three before responding to any of his statements, especially if I perceive them as accusations." Being prepared for strong emotions will allow you to sidestep some of them: Instead of being taken by surprise, you should see them coming far enough in advance. Some (small) conflicts fizzle out and die if ignored for long enough; but most bigger conflicts, ironically, get worse if categorically ignored. That's because we perceive them as threats to our overall well being, and the tension of that perceived threat ratchets up when two or more people meet in a standoff, just like in an old-fashioned duel.  Lots of other things happen when you let a conflict fester. You start to overanalyze the situation, looking for cruel intentions where there weren't any to begin with. Friends and well-meaning partners unintentionally give you the wrong advice. The list goes on. Better to approach the situation head-on from the beginning. If the other person or persons suggests a heart-to-heart, accept. If the other person seems standoffish, reach out to them. Like asking a special girl or boy out to prom, or finishing an important deadline, it'll just get more difficult the longer you prolong it. People who fear conflict are often been primed by past experience to expect a consistently bad outcome: Unhealthy relationships and abusive childhoods can leave them fearing conflict, to the point where they view any potential conflict as relationship-threatening and shy away from potential conflict so much that they ignore their own needs. While this learned behavior is often rational, it isn't healthy, nor does it describe all conflicts. In fact, many conflicts are...

Personal space is an important issue and may be something to raise with your natural parent. Some experts even advise that step-siblings should have separate rooms, if possible.   Your parent might not think that sharing a room is a big deal. Explain what you are feeling openly and honestly, like by saying, “Dad, I just feel like uncomfortable. I don’t know X very well yet and need my own space.” Your parent and step parent might not have the money to get a bigger house. In that case, you might be able to find some kind of compromise. If your step-siblings only visit once in a while, for example, you can suggest getting a fold-out couch for their stays. Sharing is a good thing. But, we sometimes need to have limits on what we’re willing to share. Like your room, you probably have clothes, toys, and belongings that are yours and that you don’t necessarily want to share with a step sibling. This is natural. Having boundaries on these things will help minimize problems with your new sibling.  You shouldn’t be expected to share everything you own with step-siblings or to make everything communal property. If you’re going to share a room, talk to your natural parent (and maybe your step parent) about what can be communal and what you want to keep private. For instance, it would be hard to prevent your sibling from using a television or PC in a shared room. But you could ask that he or she not use your telephone or iPod. Talk to your parent, again, if you feel that your step sibling is overstepping bounds. For instance, “Mom, can you talk to X about “borrowing” my clothes? I don’t like it” or “Dad, X has been reading my diary and I want him to know that that’s private.” You and your step-siblings also shouldn’t have to spend all of your time together. You both need space, whether that means spending time with your own...

Connect with your boyfriend through his interests. For example, if he's crazy over a certain TV show, watch it with him. If he likes a certain musician, buy him tickets to a concert. It's okay to have separate interests, but sharing some or at least showing interest in those that are important to him will bring you closer. Quality time is essential for healthy relationships, so be sure to carve out time together often. While it's perfectly okay for you to make time for yourself as well as others, your boyfriend shouldn't regularly feel like he's in last place. Each week, compare your schedules and set aside time for just the two of you. Your boyfriend will feel important if you regularly share your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences with him. Disclosing also forges a deeper bond between you.  Tell him when you're scared about not getting picked for the job you want or how frustrated you are about your relationship with your dad. If you disclose, your boyfriend is more likely to reciprocate. Spoon-feed disclosures based on how close (and serious) you are. Start small and work your way up. Romantic relationships are built on trust. Show your boyfriend that you are trustworthy by keeping his confidences when he discloses, sticking to your word, and being a reliable partner.

Consent must be freely given. A person who is intoxicated or unconscious cannot consent. It’s best to check in from time to time to make sure. Of course, with BDSM it can be trickier to ensure consent, which is why it is important to set boundaries beforehand. Talk to your partner about what’s off-limits, and what could be off-limits, depending on a number of factors, including pain, pressure, and psychological discomfort. Using a “want/will/won’t” list can be helpful in determining how you and your sub’s desires align. A “want/will/won’t” list basically lists what you want, what you will do if asked, and what you won’t do. Creating a “contract” can be a fun way to list wants, wills and won’ts. Though aren’t legally enforceable, they can begin a scene with the sub and set limits and boundaries within the fantasy itself. It is important to watch the body language of your partner. While it is often common in BDSM to play the role of ‘victim,’ you can usually tell the difference between BDSM play and a withdrawal of consent, especially if they are gagged. Look in their eyes, check to see if their body stiffens, or if they turn away. This is a sign they might not be enjoying the play. If any of this will be part of your play, establish this beforehand. To ensure consent throughout the play, determine both a safe-word and a safe-gesture, as well as a caution-word and a caution-gesture. The caution word/gesture will indicate that they are not sure or something might be wrong, whereas the safe-word would indicate a definite withdrawal of consent. Here are some tips for safe-words and caution-words.  Examples of safe-words and caution-words can be “stop” and “slow,” or “red” and “yellow.” The gesture will depend on a number of things, including what body parts they can move, whether you can see their face, among other things. However, simple safe- and caution-gestures include blinking and nodding or shaking one’s head. Sometimes ropes become knotted or move to more dangerous places during play. This is why it is...

Consider adding some nitrogen to the water to keep the onions healthy. You only need to do this until mid-July, however. The leaves are not the only part of the onion that will stick out of the soil; the bulbs will too. If the bulbs are not developing out of the ground, you may want to brush some of the soil away from them, so that only the roots and the bottom part of the bulb are in the soil. This will help the bulbs dry faster. Begin harvesting when the bulbs are 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters) in diameter.  Bend the plants to the ground to avoid top rotting of the bulbs (pink neck). Give the bulbs 5 to 6 days to dry and turn brown. This will speed up the process of drying the bulbs, as well. If you plan on braiding the onions into a rope, like garlic, you can leave the leaves longer. Once the outer layer of the onion bulb's skin has dried, it's ready to harvest. Place the bulbs in a container, such as a box, bag, or wheel barrow to store the onions you have harvested. Make sure the container is warm, dry, dark, and well ventilated. Spread the bulbs out on a screen to provide ample circulation. Let them cure in a shed or garage. A porch that doesn't get a lot of sunlight will also work. If you cure the onions in direct sunlight, the skins will soften and invite bacteria. If you cure them someplace damp and humid, they may start to rot. If you are not braiding your onions together and hanging them up, you will need to store them properly in a bag or box. You can store them however you want, as long as they are kept cool and dry. Good air circulation is a must. Here's a few popular ways to store onions.  Store the onions in an onion bag, and hang the bag up. Store the onions in a shallow box. Use newspaper to keep the bulbs separate. Store the onions in nylon stockings. Tie a knot in the stocking between each bulb. Hang the stocking up. When you want to get an onion, simply cut below or above a knot.

Consider how many days that you have to travel and where you’d like to visit. Divide up your days by the locations, so that you’ll know can start to investigate train schedules. Make sure to add in the amount of time it will take to travel into your itinerary.  Give yourself more time to travel rather than less. In some of the larger stations, you may need an hour or more to get from one train to the next.  When planning your itinerary, consider travelling to major cities that have train stations to make travel more affordable and easy. If your destination cities are too far apart (Paris and Moscow, for instance), a flight might be better. Major train stations and rail companies post maps online showing the layout of rail lines across Europe. Once you’ve pulled up a rail map, look to see that there are trains going between your cities of interest. This will let you know if rail travel is even an option The German rail company Deutsche Bahn has the most comprehensive schedule database that covers all European rail travel, as found on https://www.bahn.com. However, you can also go to each rail company’s particular website to look up schedules. Start by entering in your origin and destination cities, choose a station, and browse through the date and time options. If a city has multiple stations, the primary one is often labeled “central.” A pass will allow you to travel the rails for a certain amount of time and in particular locations without the hassle of purchasing single tickets. You can buy rail passes through travel agents, government transportation and rail company websites, or in-person at stations. They are generally a good deal if you will be travelling for more than 3 days or if you plan to visit multiple countries.  You can also determine if a pass is worthwhile by comparing the total cost of individual rail tickets with a pass’ purchase price. There are both multi-country and single-country passes. There are also passes that last for a number of consecutive days (called “continuous”) or those that...

Consider incorporating some of the following foods into your diet:  Foods with high levels of potassium.Some of these foods are, in order from least to greatest potassium level: avocados, potatoes, bananas, broccoli, orange juice, soybeans, apricots, and raisins. You can have these at any time, not just while exercising. Whole milk. Milk has a large amount of vitamin D, which will reduce your chances of cramping. Have one to two glasses of milk each day to help you prevent cramps. As a bonus, all the calcium in whole milk will also contribute to healthy bone growth. Lack of vitamin D can contribute to cramping; luckily, sunshine is chock full of vitamin D. Make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen before spending a day in the sun! Studies have shown that sunscreen application does not significantly diminish the body's absorption of vitamin D from sunlight.  If you choose to exercise out in the sun, be extra sure to bring plenty of water. Depending on your activity, consider bringing a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. Eating a large meal shortly before exercising can cause you to experience cramps. The amount of time you should wait between eating and working out depends on how much you have eaten. After a large meal, wait an hour or more. After a small meal or snack, give it 15-30 minutes. If you prefer to perform rigorous exercise first thing in the morning, it is wise to have something small to eat first, such as a piece of fruit or yogurt. Exercising on an empty stomach can cause discomfort for some people.

Consider inviting friends and family from both near and far. It is the people who attend the event that will make it the most special for your guest of honor.  Make sure to ask for an RSVP. This will help you know what sort of venue is appropriate for the celebration. Offer to help friends and family from out of town book hotels, or offer up spare rooms with local family members if possible. This can help defray the cost for people traveling in from far away. Think about any possible “surprise guests.” Did the guest of honor have a special army buddy that he still writes to? Does she have a childhood friend or a favorite cousin that she doesn’t get to see often? If so, these are the types of surprises that your nonagenarian is sure to appreciate. Party decorations are important at any birthday celebration. There are many ways you can go in decorating for a 90th birthday party ranging from very simple to incredibly extravagant.  Include memorabilia from past eras and events. Consider making a photo collage, or digging out an old high school diploma, awards and trophies, or wedding photos that will honor the birthday guest. This can be a great way for the younger generations to connect with the guest of honor. Make it a party! Include banners, balloons, party hats, a piñata, streamers, confetti, etc. Include anything that reminds you of a great celebration! Find 90th birthday-themed items! Many card stores (such as Hallmark) or party stores (such as Party City) will sell 90th birthday-themed items. Even a simple hat for the honoree can make them feel special. On the day of the party, it may be appreciated to help prepare your guest of honor for their special day by going out of your way to make sure they feel their best.  If the honoree is a woman, consider taking her to get her hair done or nails painted before the party. These simple beauty splurges can make her feel special on her special day. Ask her if she would like a new outfit or new shoes for the party, and make it a point to take her on a special...

Consider talking to a mental health professional about your coming out plan. They’ll help you determine if it's a safe time to come out, and if so, prepare you for the talk with your parents. Additionally, a therapist can improve your confidence in your sexuality, and help you develop coping mechanisms for resulting stress.You may find that your school counselor is helpful. Or, you may feel most comfortable talking to a counselor who is also LGBTQ. If you can’t find one in your area, some LGBTQ therapists offer services via the phone or internet. Your parents might be happy that you have finally told them, they might embrace you, or they might not.  If you grew up in a home with homophobic parents, know that their reaction might not be ideal.  Make a plan for the worst-case scenario so that you can be better prepared.  For instance, if you are worried about potential violence, you might opt to tell them on the phone.  If they begin to yell or curse at you, you could say “I’m sorry, but I cannot be yelled at Mom.  I would love to talk about this more when emotions aren’t so high.  Can you call me tomorrow?” That being said, you should give yourself time to get back into a positive mindset before the discussion with your parents. Going into the situation with a negative attitude could increase the likelihood of a bad outcome. Perhaps your parents are generally pretty calm and mild mannered.  You may have never heard them even make a homophobic comment.  Regardless of these facts, still make a plan in the event that violence could erupt.  You truly never know how your parents will react to the news.  Have a friend check in on you every 20 minutes or so.  Keep your phone on you.  Sit closely to the exit of your home. Though these suggestions might seem scary, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Know that going into this conversation, you have to be strong and resolute in your sexuality.  Some parents will make comments like “But, you’ve had a girlfriend before” in attempts to try to challenge your identity....

Consider the relationship you have with the person you want to tell I love you. Do they speak any other languages? Are they interested in any particular languages? Or is there an inside joke between you two involving another country that might be fun to reference? If you just finished watching a television series about Patagonia, for example, learn how to say I love you in Mapuche (Mapudungun) or in Spanish with a Chilean accent. Use Google translate to practice your pronunciation. Listen to the words and repeat them aloud at a normal volume. Say the words to someone as practice and get their feedback. Say the words to yourself in a mirror. Say the whole sentence that you plan on saying. Try saying the sentence aloud until you are comfortable. Overemphasize the words or say them in a funny ways after you tell the person you love them. You can be silly and playful and keep telling them the words over and over again. You can always show him/her the note and explain what it is about the person that makes you feel that way. Seeing that you cared enough about them to made a special note will make them feel loved. A text message is a great way to communicate your affection without having to worry about saying the word correctly. Getting a thoughtful text message will make that person feel especially loved and special. This can be a more intimate way of communicating your feelings for someone. Find a situation where you can bring up the word. It can be on a walk that you take or during a pause in conversation during dinner. Don’t worry too much about saying it perfectly, it is unlikely that your loved one will know the correct pronunciation. Also, it is the thought that counts when you are saying I love you.

Consider the types of accounts you’ll be using - you may simply need a checking account, or you may want a bank with checking, savings, and money market accounts. You might also want to use your bank for credit cards or loans.  If online banking is important to you, make sure the bank you use has a user-friendly app with all of the features you need.  If you need to do a lot of business at a physical location, make sure to look for a bank that has branches close to your home and office. Banks may charge fees for monthly maintenance, taking money out of ATMs, overdrafting your account, and transferring money, so read the fine print carefully. You should also compare the interest rates on loans and credit cards, as well as the annual percentage yield (APY) on savings accounts.  Smaller banks and credit unions often have lower fees and higher APYs than national banks, but a larger bank will likely have the most features available.  Some banks advertise “no fees," but they may require that you maintain a minimum balance in your account.  Most banks list their rates on their website, but if you can’t find them, you can call the bank to ask. Major banks insure their deposits with either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) or, for credit unions, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This means that even if the bank or credit union fails, the money that you have deposited will be protected by the U.S. government.

Consider why you're trying to make your friend jealous. There are a variety of reasons you may want to make someone jealous of you. If you're trying to make your friend jealous, try to figure out the reason. Over time, jealousy can cause strain on a relationship. If you want to keep your relationship with your best friend healthy, you need to examine underlying issues.  If you tend to get jealous yourself, you may be an insecure person by nature. Therefore, you may try to make others jealous to raise your own self-esteem. You might not have had strong attachments early in life, fueling insecurity and jealousy.  Are you angry at your friend? If your friend did something to hurt your feelings or make you insecure, you may be trying to make him or her jealous as payback. While this can feel good in the short term, it's a good idea to eventually talk it out. Communication is important to a successful relationship. If there's an issue that needs addressing, talk it out. Instead of passive aggressively making your friend jealous, you should be upfront about any issues you have and work on smoothing things over.  Choose a specific time and place to talk. Pick a time where neither of you are busy, and a place free of external distractions. For example, you can meet on a Saturday afternoon at a large coffee shop that's usually not crowded. Think about what you want to say ahead of time. Have some idea of the issues that are bothering you. It may help to write down your thoughts to try and sort them out. "I" statements are statements that begin with "I feel...", after which you state your feeling. Then, you would explain the behavior that leads to that feeling, and why you feel the way you do. This lessens blame, as you're focusing on your own feelings and not external truths.  For example, say you were trying to make your friend jealous because she keeps bragging about her boyfriend. Don't say, "It's irritating that you always talk about your boyfriend when we hang out. It's like I'm not important to you." Rephrase...

Consistency is key to establishing a good bedtime routine. You need to establish a regular bedtime schedule and strive to wake up around the same time each day.  Your circadian rhythm thrives on routine. It adjusts to having a regular bedtime and wake time. After a week of going to bed at, say, 11:00 every night and waking up at 8AM, your body will begin to get tired when bed time arrives and you'll feel more rested in the mornings.  Try to stay on this routine, even on weekends. Strive to not sleep more than a couple of hours past your usual wake up time on Saturdays and Sundays. If you're not on a regular sleep schedule at the moment, you'll need to ease into a new schedule. Do not go from being up until 2AM at night to having a firm 10PM bedtime. This sets you up for failure and will only result in you tossing and turning each night. Make small changes slowly. For example, if you usually fall asleep at 1:00 AM and want to go to bed at 11 PM make adjustments in small increments. For the first three nights, try going to bed at 12:45. Then, push that back to 12:20. Keep moving your bedtime back by 10 to 20 minute intervals until you hit the right time. Lighting can help you wake up or fall asleep. Try exposing yourself to daylight in the morning and dimming the lights towards bedtime.  Your body has an internal sleep/wake clock that responds to light. You're hardwired to become energized in response to bright, preferably natural light. As soon as you get up in the morning, draw the blinds and let in the sunlight. If you don't have access to natural sunlight, or get up before the sun rises, you can try turning on the lights in your house or incorporating a short walk around the block into your regular morning routine.  Too much light at night signals to your brain that it needs to stay awake. Dim or turn off the lights in your apartment or house as you near your bedtime. You should also avoid electronics like tablets, computers, and smart phones. The light from these devices stimulate the brain and may make...

Constantly pouting makes you look intimidating, serious, and boring. What's the point of looking beautiful if everybody is afraid of talking to you? If you want to attract others, you will have to put yourself out there. Try not to cross your arms, avoid eye contact or stand in the corner of the room. These are signs that you don't want to be bothered. Even supermodels have insecurities. The key is to have a sense of humor about your imperfections, and not let them drag you down. Even if you don't believe it, get in the habit of telling yourself you are beautiful, and that you look great. Eventually, you will trick yourself into genuinely believing it. Everybody wants to be around people who make them laugh. This doesn't necessarily mean cracking jokes every five minutes; even having the ability to laugh at other peoples' jokes shows that you are a happy, fun-loving person.

Construct a thorough marketing plan before you actively start your search for customers. Follow your plan closely, but don't be afraid to make changes along the way as you learn more about what works and what doesn't work.  Among other things, you need to determine an advertising budget. Figure out how much you can afford to spend on marketing before you consider which forms of advertising to use. Once you determine how much you can spend, you'll need to figure out the best way to use that money to reach the maximum number of potential customers in your customer base. Don't invest too much time and money in a single aspect of your marketing plan. Instead of working on one major advertisement, a better option would be to create multiple smaller advertisements that range across a variety of marketing mediums.  Using multiple forms of advertisement allows you to reach a greater number of people. For instance, someone who doesn't live in your area may not see an ad posted to a local bulletin board, but he or she might see one posted online. Additionally, when prospective customers hear about you from more than one source, they tend to become more curious and more likely to check into your business. Create a detailed image your mind of who your “ideal” customer would be. Ask yourself what type of person would be the most likely to purchase your product and support your company.  Try to identify at least five characteristics of your customer base. Common attributes to consider include age, gender, marital status, number of children (if any), location, career field, and special interests. If you have current customers, think about a handful of your most loyal ones. Ask yourself which characteristics they share to help build your ideal customer profile. If you want to find your ideal customers, you'll need to reach them at physical and digital locations where they typically gather without your influence.  Try to think of three to five places your customers may gather. For example, if your customer base consists...
