If you're not currently involved with someone monogamously, you may be dating two people at once. You may have feelings of love for both people, but want a monogamous relationship. Figure out which party to choose. There are several factors you can use to decide who is best for you.  Think about your goals. Compatible romantic partners have similar goals and values. Choose the person whose goals more closely align with yours. You and this person should have similar moral values, and want similar things for the future. Think about how much each person influences you. In a romantic relationship, you are heavily influenced by another person. You'll find yourself adopting their tastes and interests. If you find one person influences your personality more, that person may be right for you. You should also consider your feelings for someone. People tend to feel more infatuated with compatible romantic matches. You may find yourself putting one person on more of pedestal. You may play up one person's good qualities slightly more. If you make a choice, you should let the other party know. It's best to have the conversation face-to-face, if you feel comfortable doing so, so give the person a head's up you would like to have a serous discussion. For example, you could send a text that says something like, "Hey, there's something that's been on my mind. I would really like to talk to you as soon as possible. Are you free for coffee tomorrow?" You want to end things in a clean fashion. Do not leave any ambiguity in the breakup. Make sure you state things are over on no uncertain terms. For example, "I've decided I want to end the romantic portion of our relationship." Avoid phrases like, "I think we should..." and "I feel..." Such statements can make you sound uncertain. Many people crave closure after a breakup. If you feel comfortable giving a reason, do so. However, it can get tricky when you're leaving for someone else. If you feel like this information would be best left out, give other reasons that contributed to...

If you're not even sure where to begin, spend some time looking up watercolor tattoos on the internet. Save pictures of tattoos that you like, as that will give you some idea of where you want your tattoo to go. Often, people get tattoos of things or people that are close to their hearts. You'll be less likely to regret a tattoo if it has a significant meaning to you. Think about the things that are most important to you, and then try to figure out how to incorporate that into a watercolor tattoo.  Your tattoos don't have to be literal. That is, you may want to incorporate your children into your tattoo. However, you don't have to just get their face tattooed on your arm. You can use a symbol to represent them. For instance, if you often call your child "Peach," you could get a tattoo that incorporates a peach. However, your tattoo doesn't have to have a meaning. It can just be something pretty that you like. Often, when doing a watercolor tattoo, the artist will need a bit of space, as the blending of colors takes some room. In other words, you need to pick an area on your body where there's room to work, and you'll need to be flexible on the size. Usually, the tattoo artist will come up with the design for you if you give them an idea of what you want. Of course, you need to work with someone whose work you admire so that you know you'll end up with a piece you're happy with. You can also bring your own sketch or painting, if you're an artist, that the tattooer can base your tattoo on. If you're not an artist, you could ask a friend to paint it for you before you go in.

If you're not happy with who you are, it'll show from a mile away. Men are most attracted to women who look like they're having fun with who they are, not those who are desperately seeking someone to fill a void in their lives. Here are some tips for improving your self-confidence:  Tell yourself what an awesome person you are! Remind yourself of your best attributes and skills, and be proud of what makes you unique. Keep a journal where you can highlight some of your strengths as a person to make you feel that you are worthy of a man's attention. Always keep a positive attitude! Set your mind to it!  Remember that you're beautiful on the inside--and the outside. Though we are all far from perfect, before you spend an evening out, it's important to look in the mirror and remember your best attributes, whether it's your rocking smile, your perfect teeth, or your mile-long legs. If you focus on the positive aspects of your appearance, men will see them too. If you have crooked teeth or hairy legs, who gives a damn! Be yourself, and don't be afraid to show that crooked smile of yours or your beautiful hairy legs! NEVER be ashamed of yourself! Be confident when you meet new people. Interacting with new people can be scary, but if you're alert, ready for anything, and reserve judgment, people will want to get to know you. A man will be more attracted to a woman surrounded by friends than one who is looking sad and lonely. He'll want to be a part of your positive energy. Read more about how to feel good about yourself here. Continue to improve. It's one thing to be self-confident and another to be self-absorbed or blind to one's flaws. As you focus on your good qualities, work to improve that which can be improved. Consider all constructive criticism before dismissing it. A man is attracted to a woman who feels comfortable with where she came from, where she is now, and where she is going. He wants someone who is comfortable with her desires, her limitations, and her aspirations.  Developing your own identity...

If you're not ready to master a straight up-and-down cartwheel yet, make things easier for yourself by trying different versions of the cartwheel as build your confidence. It's okay to try different things if this is what keeps you practicing instead of giving up. Stake several mats in your practice area to bring the ground closer to you when your hands go down in a cartwheel; your hands will plant on the mats, rather than on the ground below. Doing this will help close the gap between you and the ground and likely lessen your fear of falling while practicing. Try doing cartwheels in which you plant both hands and spin over the top, but you keep the front side of your body at an angle to the ground. This allows you to catch yourself on your feet more easily in the event of a mistake. Do a cartwheel with your legs slightly bent at first. This allows you to make a safer landing if you misjudge your momentum or lose your balance. Don't rush yourself into doing anything you're not ready for.  Take a break if you feel a mental block. Fear is a powerful emotion that can take time to overcome. If you feel overwhelmed by fear, stand or sit still, calm your breath by counting to 10, or your attention on the ground beneath you. After a while, you'll feel calm again and perhaps ready to try again.  Gymnasts have reported success in overcoming mental blocks towards specific activities by taking a time out. Some have also had success in overcoming fear when they had time to casually "play" with different aspects of the skills and not really focus on them. It takes a lot of determination to conquer your fear of cartwheels. Don't give up! No one ever became perfect at something their first few attempts.

If you're not sure whether you have an allergy to wasp stings or not, it's a good idea to set up an allergy test with your doctor before you attempt to tackle the nest.  If the test confirms that you are not allergic to stings, then you can proceed with getting rid of the nest by yourself. However, if you find out that you do have an allergy, you absolutely should ask someone else to deal with the nest or call an exterminator, as getting stung could be a life-threatening situation. Though not available everywhere, vector control deals with disease-carrying or potentially dangerous insects and animals (vectors). These professionals can help you with identification, advise you on what to do, and may even remove the wasps for you. Do a quick internet search for "vector control" in your area to find contact information and request service. In most situations, it's best to leave nest removal to the professionals. If there is no vector control district or they are unable to come remove the nest, try an exterminator instead. This is especially true if you have ground-nesting yellow jackets.  If the wasp nest is in an awkward or hard-to-reach location, such as inside a wall or attic or underneath a concrete slab, you will definitely want help from a professional. It is also advisable to call a professional exterminator if you are allergic to wasp stings, as getting rid of the nest by yourself could be dangerous. In fact, even if you aren't allergic, approaching a wasp's nest can be incredibly dangerous and, in fact, deadly if things go wrong. If the wasps' nest is far enough away from your house that it doesn't pose a significant threat, you should consider leaving it alone, especially if it belongs to a less aggressive wasp species such as the paper wasp. Wasps are an important part of the ecosystem, as they pollinate plants and flowers and eat other garden pests such as caterpillars. Before you tackle the nest, it's a good idea to know what species of wasp you're dealing with, as this will give you an indication of...

If you're not waxing and want great legs, you should still consider keeping your body hair in check. The most common way of doing this is by shaving via a razor. Make sure you shave with a good shaving gel or cream, as this will result in a closer shave. Run the razor slowly over the hair to remove it. Be slow and gentle to avoid undue cuts. Once you've finished shaving, treat yourself to a nice warm shower; this will rinse off the excess hair and get your legs moisturized.  Use a conditioner on your legs while you're shaving them. This will help result in a finer cut.   A good razor is always preferable. If you're wanting great legs, you can't resort to budget supplies. Gillette's Venus Embrace Sensitive Skin razor is a bit pricey in comparison with other blades, but it's nonetheless recommended for its quality and ease-of-use. to prevent regrowth. An epilator may be purchased and used to much the same effect as waxing. Much like waxing, it involves tearing out multiple hairs from the root. While a razor is best for getting the hair away at the start, an epilator will give your legs a waxy feeling of smoothness. Purchase one from your local beauty section, and run it slowly over your legs. Because it is pulling your hair out from the roots, epilators are as potentially painful as waxing. This is why it's better to shave your legs and use an epilator as maintenance. Depilatory creams dissolve hair on the surface of your skin. Due to the fact that these creams don't target the roots of hair, choosing this option means you will have to use the creams quite often-- every couple of days, or however often it suits you. On the plus side however, the routine itself is easy and painless, so you may find it a favourable alternative to the less frequent, but infinitely more painful process of waxing. Laser hair removal is one of the most commonplace cosmetic procedures out there. Lasers will destroy the hairs within three to seven sessions, and the effects are usually permanent. Although prices will vary depending on...

If you're one of those people who don't like being heard in the bathroom, you can do a few things to hide the sounds. If you're at someone's house, try turning on the water. Another option is to place toilet paper in the toilet bowl, so you don't get a splashing sound. To cut down on the smell, try flushing after each time you let one go. This process will also hide some of the sounds of going. Keep in mind, though, that this trick can splash water on you. If part of your fear comes from the smell, use a spray. Try a before-you-go spray that you spritz on the top of the water before defecating. The spray decreases the smell, so it won't give you away. Sometimes, you may feel embarrassed by defecating in public or around a significant other. However, remind yourself that everyone has to do it, including the most sophisticated person you can think of. It's a fact of life, and reminding yourself of that fact can make it less embarrassing.

If you're part of a team, then the coach will provide a structured routine for you. But it's always good to have your own routine as well, for personal practice. Having a routine that has elements of aerobic exercise, (which means swimming for longer) as well as a moderate endurance workout (which focuses on mid-distance and moderately hard swimming) can help you get faster. Your workout should have several elements but the main part should focus on endurance, speed, and muscular endurance. Here's an example of a structured workout you can try:  10-15% spent on an easy warm up (4 x 100 easy swimming with 20 seconds of rest between each distance) 10-20% spent on drills and kicking (8 x 50s as an alternating drill, with 1 kick with 15 seconds of rest) 40-70% spent on the main set (6 x 200 with 30 seconds of rest or 12 x 100 with 15 seconds of rest) 5-10% spent on cooling down (easy 100s) Search for swim teams in your area, and find information such as how much it costs to register, what time practice is at, and what equipment you need. If you're not already on a team, being on one can definitely help you swim faster not only because you'll have more motivation to practice every day, but because you'll also get more practice during races and will be working with a coach who can help you master the correct technique.   If you do join a team, you have to commit to coming to practice every day. Push yourself at practice. Try to make the send-offs with 5-7 seconds rest. Once you've mastered that, try 10 seconds, 15, and so on. If you are on a swim team, then you'll be participating in swim meets regularly. Don't be nervous; it's not about getting first place, but about beating your best time. Most swimmers swim faster during swim meets than practice, because adrenaline is high and there's more at stake. You can "trick" your body into swimming faster just by attending swim meets. Swim clinics can teach you better form for your strokes, tips for achieving more, can help you with your dives and turns, and may generally...

If you're planning on making a shoe, it's undoubtedly important you have some idea what kind of shoe you would like to make. Shoes are incredibly diverse, and there are plenty of types you can make, not limited to loafers, sneakers, sandals, boots and high heels. Try to imagine what kind of shoe style would suit your individual style the most.  It may be helpful to sketch out a few ideas. Manifesting your ideas with an illustration can come a long way towards planning out your shoe. If you're new to shoe making, it's probably best to stick to something simple. A basic laced shoe goes without some of the finesse of more complicated types, and you can still add plenty of flair to a basic formula. Before you think about making your shoe, it's important you have an accurate and well-detailed set of plans to work on. After all, you don't want to be making design decisions on the go; shoemaking is a very precise business, and the slightest mishap could keep the shoe from turning out well.  Basic shoe templates are available on the internet. Do a search and look up some 'recipes'. If nothing else, it might give you inspiration for your own design. Online art outlets like www.etsy.com may have more elaborate shoe templates for sale. Designing your own is only recommended if you've made a shoe before. If that's what you're ultimately looking to do, try stitching together something basic with a free template, and put that experience towards making your own the second time around. You can save yourself a lot of time and give your shoes a more professional look if you harvest parts from other shoes you don't use anymore. In particular, shoe soles are good as they'll give you a reference for the rest of your stitching. Provided they're in good enough shape, you should salvage the parts you think might work in your new shoe, taking care to remove them slowly and carefully with a scalpel knife. While specific lists of ingredients will depend on the certain type of shoe you're looking to make, it generally goes without...

If you're planning on making breakfast in advance, you need to make sure you have everything you need in your kitchen to prepare your recipes.  To help you with your grocery list, write up your breakfast meal plan. Write down the breakfasts that you want to make in advance so you can see what ingredients you need to complete the recipes. Also set aside some time to write up your grocery list. Look at your meal plan and write up your list based on the foods that you need. As with any recipe, you need to make sure you have the right cooking utensils or tools to make the recipe. Luckily, breakfast meals are usually pretty simple and require only minimum equipment.  A small sauté or frying pan will be great for small tasks like scrambling eggs. A toaster will help give a warm crunch to items like bread or English muffins. Consider purchasing or using a slow cooker or crock pot. You can make items like oatmeal the night before and have a hot breakfast ready the next morning. Mise en place is a French cooking term meaning "set in place."  For quick and efficient cooking, it's important to set up everything you need both ingredients and equipment so that you can make your breakfast meals with ease.  Start by preparing one breakfast recipe or meal. It's difficult to try to assemble multiple different recipes all at once. Get out all the ingredients that you'll need. For example, if you're making oatmeal with apples, lay out the oatmeal, apples, milk, etc. Also get all your equipment out that you'll need to make your breakfast. You might want to get out your slow cooker and wooden spoon to make oatmeal overnight.

If you're planning on moving to Australia, you will have to go through a lengthy and extensive visa application process. A registered migration agent can help guide you through the process.  Registered migration agents know the system inside and out and can make sure you provide all the necessary information and documentation so that your application is processed efficiently. Because they are registered with the government, they also have the ability to talk to government officials on your behalf and ensure a smooth migration process. In Australia, agents must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA).  Although migration agents are available who live and work within Australia, some also live and work overseas. If you've decided not to use a registered migration agent, you can use the resources Australia makes available online to help find the visa that best suits your needs. The DIBP's Visa Wizard can help find the visa that fits your circumstances most closely. Although the online program does not include every type of visa the country offers, it does include the most common ones. Some migratory visas, such as a partner category visa, require you to be sponsored by a person who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen. In addition to any work-related information and sponsorship information, you also must meet basic health and character requirements to be eligible for a migratory visa to Australia.  Your visa application will include a checklist of all required supporting documents you must submit along with your application. If you are applying online, you can use your ImmiAccount to attach documents as you copy or scan them into the computer. Although you don't necessarily need every document listed or requested on your application for your application to be considered complete, including all documentation will reduce your processing time and lessen the chances the DIBP asks you for additional information. Many migratory...

If you're planning on paying for the bounty, ensure that you have at least the correct amount of gold in your inventory. If you plan on bribing the guards as part of the Thieves Guild skillset, you'll need extra gold. When you pay a bounty, all of your stolen items will be confiscated. To avoid the hassle of stealing them back, store all the stolen items in your inventory inside a chest at home. Stolen items' names are in red and they have "Stolen" in front of their name, making them easy to identify. Go to the city in which you have a bounty over your head. Once you're in the city, approach a guard (or wait for a guard to approach you). In some cases, simply entering the city will be enough for a guard to approach you. Select You caught me. I'll pay off my bounty. in the dialogue window. If you're in the Thieves Guild and you've done at least one Guild job in the Hold in which your bounty is located, you can choose the Bribe option instead. This will cost more than just paying your bounty, but you won't lose any stolen items. If your bounty is over 10 gold, you'll be taken to the local jail, and any stolen goods you didn't store will be confiscated by the guards. You will also have your bounty's amount taken from your available gold. If you bribed the guard, you won't lose any stolen items.

If you're planting a variety of herbs, group your herbs by type. They have different water requirements, and having them separated by type can make caring for them easier on you.  Rosemary oregano, marjoram, sage, lavender, thyme, and tarragon are “dry herbs” that need low amounts of water. Basil, mint, cilantro, dill, arugula, and chives are “wet herbs” that need high amounts of water. Each herb has different depth and diameter requirements when you're planting from seed. Check the packets of each herb you're planting, and dig holes according to the instructions. If you're planting from a seedling, each hole should be as deep as the root ball of the plant. The hole should also be just wide enough for the root ball to fit. Hold the seedling at the root ball and gently pull it from the soil. If it doesn't move, flip the container upside down and tap on the bottom of the container. This should loosen up the roots and let you remove the seedling. Pull at the roots just a bit to loosen them up. Then place the seedling in the hole you've already dug. Fill in the rest of the hole with soil until the existing soil and the soil of the root ball are level. Then tap down on the soil to compact it a little. Once you've got all your herbs planted, water the soil well. It should feel damp to the touch. The water will help the herbs' roots take hold.

If you're playing in Creative Mode, you can build a simple apparatus that spawns mobs depending on the different mob spawn commands (referred to as "eggs" in-game) that you place in the apparatus. This method isn't viable in Survival Mode, and it won't automatically spawn mobs; it's best used for creating arena-style matches or traps. From the creative menu, add the following items to your equip bar:  One lever Three redstone dust One dispenser A stack (64) of your preferred mob spawn egg (you can add two or more stacks if you want to randomize your spawner) Select the dispenser in your equip bar, then select the ground location in which you want to place the dispenser. You should now have a line of redstone trailing away from the dispenser. Placing the lever at the end of the line of redstone will allow you to turn on and off the redstone. At this point, you can test the lever by selecting it; if the redstone dust lights up when you select the lever, it's working and you can turn it back off. Tap, right-click, or left-trigger the dispenser to do so. This will open the dispenser's inventory. Move the egg (or eggs) you want to use to spawn mobs into the inventory of the dispenser. Your dispenser should now be ready to spawn mobs. This will turn on the dispenser—thus prompting one of your mob eggs to be spawned—before turning the dispenser back off.  You can repeat this process to spawn another mob. If you have more than one type of mob spawn egg in the dispenser, the mob that spawns will be randomized.

If you're printing on glossy paper, dye-based ink can work well. It will create vibrant colors and dry more quickly than other inks. However, because dye-based inks aren't waterproof and fade rather quickly -- usually within 5 years. Pigment-based inks use pigments that suspended, not dissolved in liquid. This allows them to last longer -- up to 150 years. It's also best to use when printing on matte paper. The colors in pigment-based inks can be less vibrant than dye-based inks. To avoid this, look for inks made by the manufacturer of your printer. When you’re printing digital art, the paper is as important as the ink. Paper that is listed as acid-free and 100% cotton or rag is an excellent choice for digital art. The paper package should note if the paper is the right type. Coated paper -- which comes in matte, semi-matte, and glossy finishes -- is best for printing digital art. The coat on the paper prevents the ink from soaking too far in the paper and dulling your colors.  A glossy finish will make text hard to read, so if you have any text in your digital art, avoid a glossy paper. A semi-gloss finish will make your art pop without reflecting too much light and making it hard to see. It's the best option for art that will be displayed without glass. Matte paper doesn't reflect any light, so it's the best option if your art will be displayed behind glass. It's also best for a black and white work. 20 to 24# paper is the type of paper used in a copy machine or regular printer. A heavier paper will be necessary to make your prints look more professional. If you're displaying your art as a poster, look for paper that is above 28#. If you're displaying your art in a gallery, look for paper that is around 50#.

If you're prone to hypochondria, don't give yourself time to think about whether or not you have a serious illness. Instead, keep your mind busy with tasks and goals you set for yourself. Studies have in fact shown that busy people tend to be happier than their non-busy counterparts.  If you are having trouble staying busy, you could:  Donate your time to charity. Start a new hobby such as painting or sewing. Play video games or watch an episode of your favorite TV show. Take on an extra part-time job. Checking out your symptoms on the internet will only reinforce your fears and make you more scared. Symptoms are often highly non-specific and may mean any number of things; typically, the most common causes of whatever symptoms you have will be what you have because, well, it is statistically the most likely. Yet, if you spend time scouring the internet for what every little head pain might mean you may jump to the wrong conclusion. For example, there are a number of causes of headaches, most of them are overall harmless. Yet, if you read about brain tumors and headaches you will probably just scare yourself. Again, the chances of your headache indicating a brain tumor is extremely low. Don't try not thinking about it. The more you try to not think about something, the more you think about. Instead, schedule 30 minutes each day, when you're in a good state of mind and fairly relaxed, to walk yourself through all your symptoms and analyze both rational and irrational possibilities. You may have to change around the time for awhile to find the best fit for you. For example, may it is best for you to worry in the morning so you can get on with your day. Or, maybe your worrying thoughts build up over the course of the day and you find the most relief from scheduling worry time towards the end of the day. Changing doctors frequently will only bring you many different diagnoses, too many tests, and varying feedback.

If you're really nervous about talking to people, you may be more comfortable if you find ways to spend time with animals, preferably outside of your own home. Volunteer at your local animal shelter or start up a part-time dog walking business.  You'll be able to make new furry friends, but more importantly, you'll eventually have to talk to at least one or two actual people, such as the other volunteers or the dog owners. If you feel relaxed around animals, you should be more comfortable talking to other people, and the topic of conversation can stay focused on the animals, so you won't have to struggle so hard to think of things to say. If you're just beginning to try to break out of your shell, you don't need to push yourself to start a conversation with a stranger (or even a classmate or coworker) or start a new friendship immediately. Take small steps, and make it a priority to get out and about on a daily basis where you'll be around other people. Take a daily walk, or go to the coffee shop once day. Start to get comfortable just being near other people. It's easy to note all of the ways that people ignore, shun, forget, or exclude you.Focusing on just these negative aspects of interactions is counter-productive, though. When you are around other people be on the look-out for clues that they may be welcome to getting to know you better or might be open to you joining them.  Is anyone flashing you a friendly smile? Are any “hi-how-are-you's” directed your way? Did someone move their bag over on the bus for you to sit? Did the person in front of you at the cafeteria choose the same dessert as you and smile? These all may be invitations for you to strike up a conversation. Be careful not to automatically dismiss them as the other person just being polite. Besides looking for the ways in which people are offering you invitations, you should try to draw people towards you. The easiest way to send the message to other people that you are open for talking or hanging out is by smiling at them and offering a...

If you're really serious about toning up the look of your jawline, there are actually programs available you can purchase that will run you through a wide variety of exercises and face-improving motions. Compared to most other fitness programs, they're relatively cheap and quite convenient to follow up on. Smiling comes more naturally to some people than others, but the fact remains that it has a laundry list of benefits to the muscles in your face. As it goes with the rest of your body, the more you exercise your face, the better and tighter it'll look. Smiling is a great exercise because it is psychologically tied in with the experience of being happy, so it's not uncommon to notice an improvement in your mood if you make a regular habit of smiling on impulse. Getting a better jawline is correlative to working the jaw itself. To do this, try clenching your jaw for 10 seconds before releasing it. This should come with a sense of mild discomfort as well as a subtle burn. Try doing this as many times as you want-- between 10 and 15 should be a good place to start in terms of reps.  As time goes on, you should increase the amount of time you're clenching your jaw. This will encourage your jaw to continue toning. Jaw clenching is generally quite easy to fit into a daily routine. Due to the fact that it doesn't look as apparent and silly as many other facial exercises, it's even something you can do at work or on the train. Tilt your head upwards and keep your eyes fixed on the ceiling. Next, strain your lips, as if you were trying to kiss something an inch above you. Maintain the strain for 5 seconds per rep, after which you should relax and give your lips a few seconds to recuperate. You can repeat this exercise as many times as you'd like, although 10 is a good place. This exercise is a great way to improve facial tightness, as the direction and strain work out a wide variety of facial muscles. Massaging your temples and unfurling your brow is a good way to encourage blood flow and circulation throughout your...

If you're removing the stain from fabric or clothing (not carpet), spread it tightly across a large bowl. Secure the fabric to the bowl with a rubber band and pour lots of boiling water right over the stain and into the bowl. The hot water should loosen the stain. If the stain was light, the water may be enough. If the stain is still there, it should be loosened and easier to treat now. Pour 2 cups (475 ml) of warm water into a spray bottle. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of hydrogen peroxide or distilled white vinegar to the bottle along with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of dishwashing liquid. Put the lid on the spray bottle and shake the bottle until the ingredients are combined. Spray the mixture until the stain is completely covered. The area should be damp to the touch. Use paper towels or an old cloth towel to blot the stained area. The towels will absorb the cleaning solution. Look at the area to see if the stain has lifted. If the stain is still visible, spray it with the cleaning solution again. Blot the area with dry towels and check it again. Continue spraying and blotting until the stain is gone. Once the stain isn't visible anymore, take a spray bottle with cold water and spray it over the area. Blot the area with a clean, dry towel or paper towels. Let the area dry. The water will rinse away any of the cleaning solution that's still in the fibers of the material.

If you're serious about this running thing, it's a good idea to have yourself fitted at a running store, as different shoes are designed for different types of feet.  The right shoe for one person is the wrong shoe for another and will cause injury.  A good running store can test you to make sure you get the right shoe. It is a good idea to bring along a used pair of shoes as the wear pattern can help determine the pronation of your feet. Identifying pronation will help you choose the right shoes to support your foot type.  The person helping you can use an old pair of shoes to determine where you put the most pressure on your feet, and can help find the design that will most minimize injury. Your typical sporting goods store does not have the expertise to get you in the correct shoe. Once you've done one, you'll probably want to do more. To train for a 5K race, which is just over 3 miles (4.8 kilometers), follow a weekly schedule  3 days a week for a 2-month period:   Week 1: Brisk five-minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.  Week 2: Brisk five-minute warm-up walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.  Week 3: Brisk five-minute warm-up walk, then do two repetitions of the following:  Jog 200 yards / 180 meters (or 90 seconds) Walk 200 yards / 180 meters (or 90 seconds) Jog 400 yards / 365 meters (or 3 minutes) Walk 400 yards / 365 meters (or 3 minutes)    Week 4: Brisk 5 minute warm-up walk, then:  Jog 1/4 mile / 400 meters (or 3 minutes) Walk 1/8 mile / 200 meters (or 90 seconds) Jog 1/2 mile / 800 meters (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile / 400 meters (or 2-1/2 minutes) Jog 1/4 mile / 400 meters (or 3 minutes) Walk 1/8 mile / 200 meters (or 90 seconds) Jog 1/2 mile / 800 meters (or 5 minutes)    Week 5:  Workout 1: Brisk 5 minute warm-up walk, then:  Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes) Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes) Jog 1/2 mile (or 5...

If you're starting with ground turkey that's frozen, you'll need to defrost it before you brown it. To defrost the ground turkey in the refrigerator, place it in the refrigerator 24 hours before you plan to cook it. You could also remove the ground turkey from its packaging and place it in a microwave-safe dish. Use the defrost setting on your microwave for the specific weight of ground turkey you want to defrost.  To prevent food spoilage, you'll need to brown the ground turkey immediately after you've defrosted it in the microwave. If you don't have time to defrost the meat, you can safely cook it straight from frozen. It will just take more time to brown and be more difficult to stir. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. If you're using very lean ground turkey, you may want to add a few teaspoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. This will keep the ground turkey from sticking to the pan. Remove the ground turkey from its packaging and place it in the preheated skillet. Use a spoon to break up the ground turkey and stir it well. Stir the ground turkey occasionally and let it cook for 14 to 16 minutes. The turkey should turn a white gray color and then begin to brown a little as it caramelizes. Insert a thermometer and check the temperature of the meat. It should be 165 degrees F (70 degrees C) before it's safe to use in a recipe. Place a few paper towels on a large plate. Scoop the cooked meat onto the paper towels so you leave the grease in the skillet and the paper towels absorb the excess grease.

If you're traveling to a country with high rates of malaria, it's important to take precautions. Malaria is preventable if you take the right medication before, during, and after exposure to dangerous mosquitoes. The following regions are high-risk:  Africa Central and South America Parts of Caribbean Asia, Eastern Europe, and the South Pacific If you are visiting one of these places, schedule an appointment with your doctor six weeks in advance of your trip.  Start your trip planning early so you can start taking preventative medication before you set out on your journey. As an alternative to your regular doctor, you may schedule an appointment at a travel clinic in your area. Talk to your doctor about where you are traveling. He or she can then provide a prescription for medication most effective against malaria in that area.  These medications may include Chloroquine phosphate, quinine sulfate, or tetracycline. The type of medicine differs according to where you're going, so it's important to mention every place you'll be.  There is no vaccine for malaria. Instead, your doctor will prescribe the same type of medicine used to treat malaria. You'll take it the entire time you're at risk of exposure. Make sure to discuss your other medications and health conditions. These could affect which prescription you're given. For example, you shouldn't take some malaria medicines while pregnant. Others shouldn't be used by people with certain psychiatric conditions. Your doctor or travel clinic attendant should also check whether there are any other diseases that are a risk. The important thing to remember is to follow your prescription exactly. Malaria drugs are only  effective when taken as indicated.  You need to start some pills at least two weeks in advance of your trip. Others can be started just one or two days beforehand. Some you'll need to take once a day, others several times per day. If you must take a malaria pill once a day, take it at the same time every day. Keep taking the pills for the entire time...

If you're trying to convince someone you have a fever, you may need to fake a thermometer reading. One way to increase the temperature on a thermometer is to use hot water. Place the tip under a tap with warm water, and leave it there until you see the temperature go over 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.1 degrees Celsius).  Notice the term 'quick fix.' This usually only lasts for about 2-3 minutes, maybe 4.  Don't let the thermometer heat past 102 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius)-you could be busted for lying or get rushed to the hospital unnecessarily! The latter will probably happen if it is still a possible temperature, but if it rises above 107 degrees Fahrenheit (42 degrees Celsius) you will most certainly be seen as a faker. Shaking a mercury thermometer while holding the tip can make the temperature higher. Be careful, though, because if you are too violent, it will reach an impossibly high temperature and you will be busted for lying. Also, don't shake so hard that you shatter the glass.  A mercury thermometer is the type that has a metal tip on 1 end. The rest of the thermometer is glass and has numbers printed on it. The mercury rises in the thermometer to show the temperature. Hold it by the metal tip when shaking it. Point the rest of the thermometer towards the floor, and shake it back and forth so that the temperature reading increases. Hold the thermometer as still as you can with 1 hand. Hold the tip of the thermometer in between your thumb and index finger on the other hand. Rub your thumb and finger together as fast as you can to raise the reading on the thermometer. A digital thermometer is usually a plastic frame with a metal tip and a digital readout on the other end. This works great if you know that someone will be watching you take your temperature. Eat or drink something warm, like soup or tea, just before they take your temperature. Hold a little bit of the food or drink in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. You can wait until someone comes in to watch you to take...

If you're trying to figure out how many words per minute you can read, once again, your best bet is generally to use an online speed reading test program. These are a little less common than typing speed tests but plenty of good ones can still be found with search engine queries like "reading words per minute." One great program is available at readingsoft.com. In this program, you time yourself while you read a text of predetermined length. Once you finish, the program calculates your WPM based on how quickly you reached the end. As above, it's also possible to find the WPM you read manually. To do this, you'll want to open a word processor, paste a page or two of text into it (preferably something you haven't read before), then get ready to start a stopwatch.  Before you begin, use your word processor's "word count" feature to determine how many words are in your text selection. Record this number — you'll need it at the end. A good place to find long text selections you haven't read before is on your favorite news website. Since the news is constantly updated, you won't have to wait long to find something you haven't read yet. When you're ready, start timing yourself and begin reading the text at your normal reading speed. Unless you're specifically trying to see your maximum reading speed, you shouldn't rush yourself — this won't give you an accurate picture of how fast you read in your day-to-day life. Stop the stopwatch as soon as you read the very last word in the text. Now, just use the same formula as above to find your WPM: # words/# minutes. For example, if it took us three minutes to read a 1,100-word news article, we would find our WPM by dividing 1,100/3 = 366.7 WPM.

If you're trying to get an "unlovable" person to come out of his or her shell, hanging out one-on-one may be awkward and stressful for both of you. Instead, try inviting this person to an event where lots of people will be in attendance. At the event, do your best to make this person feel welcome, but try not to make her feel singled-out, as this can be terribly awkward and may discourage her from attending in the future. For example, let's say you throw a party and invite the socially awkward outcast character from the examples above as a sign of goodwill. When he actually shows up, you're pleasantly surprised. However, you shouldn't make a huge production of welcoming him to the party or he'll get the idea that he's the center of attention, which, in his experience, has been a bad thing. Instead, welcome him exactly as you'd welcome any other acquaintance to the party. During the party, you might try starting a pleasant conversation with him, introducing him to your friends, and bringing him into group conversations if you sense he's being left out. He'll probably appreciate your help. Over time, as this "unlovable" person becomes more comfortable at group events, you may or may not find that he naturally opens up and becomes more pleasant to be around. If he does, you may cautiously try inviting him to events with fewer people where he'll be able to have more meaningful interactions with others. You shouldn't ever feel like you have to do this — in fact, acting like someone's a close friend when you actually don't care for him is disingenuous and unkind. However, if you are starting to get along with this formerly "unlovable" person, you shouldn't be discouraged from trying this out, either. For instance, in our continuing example, if this person has reacted well to being invited to a few parties, you may want to invite him to hang out with a smaller, closer circle of friends when you go bowling or head to the bar. If he seems to continue to act well, you can probably safely proceed to as you would with...

If you're trying to root out a few "bad apples" in your workforce, make it easy for your "good apples" to help you. Having an anonymous tip or feedback system in place makes it relatively simple for your employees to report thefts and other inappropriate behavior without feeling unsafe or threatened. In addition, this gives employees a chance to voice their concerns, complaints, and constructive criticism in hopes of improving the workplace. Good ideas for anonymous tip systems include:  A feedback box left somewhere (like a break room) where employees won't be noticed dropping their notes in An email account that automatically censors the addresses of employees that send messages to it A third-party anonymous feedback program (i.e., 3sixty, Suggestionox, etc.) Employees are much less likely to steal from cash registers with the special function tricks discussed above if they know that these sort of functions are automatically brought to the attention of their employers. Consider using software that reports these functions or asks for a manager's credentials to confirm them to keep your business's points of sale under control.  These exception-reporting functions usually come standard on modern point of sale systems. If your business uses an old, out-of-date cash register, consider upgrading to for greater security options. Good modern point of service products include: AmberPOS Vend POS Lightspeed Retail iVend Retail NCR Counterpoint POS and Retail Management To a dishonest employee, the idea that you, the supervisor, are constantly watching can be a major incentive to stop stealing. Placing just a few cameras in high-risk locations (like pointed at cash registers, in locations where high-value goods are stored, and so on) can dramatically discourage stealing and can provide invaluable evidence in the event that it does occur. There is even some evidence that fake (or "dummy" security cameras) can deter thefts as well (this, of course, relies on the dishonest employee not knowing that the video camera is a...

If you're trying to start a two-way conversation with a girl on Facebook, it's best to send her a private message rather than posting something on her timeline, status, photos, or other public content. Sending a private message will make it easier for an actual conversation to develop since both of you will likely feel more comfortable being yourselves when no one else can enter the discussion. The only time you should focus your efforts on the public realm is when you have something meaningful to contribute to an existing conversation currently happening on some portion of her public profile. Make sure that you're actually adding to the conversation in a meaningful, non-controversial manner. Avoid disagreeing with her in a way that could cause an argument and create a negative impression, and wait for a relatively lighthearted topic. For instance, if she makes an open request for opinions on which phone she should upgrade to, you could give her your opinion and provide reasoning to back your answer. Even if you've looked at all of her photos from the past five years, you shouldn't let her know that—at least not initially. As a general rule, only like or remark on content that she's posted within the last month to avoid seeming like a Facebook stalker. You may need to adjust this time frame based on how often the girl updates her Facebook page. If she updates a dozen times each day, you should probably stick with content she's posted within the last week. On the other hand, if she only updates once a month, it might be appropriate to remark on content she's posted within the last several months. Starting one conversation may not be enough. Usually, you'll need to continually make an effort to stay in touch before she becomes interested enough to contact you first.  By making an effort more than once, you're demonstrating a continued, more genuine interest in her. Persistence is good, but you should avoid obsession. Starting a new conversation every few hours or every day can be overwhelming, so give her some...

If you're using live food, no preparation is necessary as long as the food was raised in sanitary conditions. Frozen food, however, needs to be thawed properly and heated to a temperature that makes it more appealing for a snake. If you're using frozen pinkies, fuzzies, hoppers or rats, follow this method for thawing and preparing the food:  Lay the frozen food on a paper towel and set it near a fan. The small body will quickly thaw. Optionally you can put the food in a plastic bag and then submerge it in warm water. Thawing can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours depending on method and size of food. Check every so often to make sure the food is thoroughly thawed. Thaw only as much as you need for one feeding. Heat the food. Many snakes won't eat if they can't sense the correct temperature that mimics a live food. You can heat the food in a bag with hot water or use a blow dryer for about ten minutes. Never use a microwave or oven as this can cause the food to explode. You'll have to get to know your snake before landing on the best way to offer food. Some snakes prefer to have the food set into the cage so they can find it for themselves, while others prefer to have it dangled in the cage, attracted by the movement this creates. Try both methods to figure out what works best for your snake.  When you offer food by placing it in the cage, you may put it on a small plate or in a shallow bowl that will keep it separate from the snake's bedding. A snake may rarely swallow its bedding. When you offer food by dangling it in the cage, use a pair of tweezers or forceps. Some use their hands, but this is not recommended. Snakes with a strong feeding response may accidentally bite you confusing your hand's heat or mixed smell with the food's. Whichever method you choose, give the snake time to decide to eat. Research your snake's species. Some may feed within a few minutes, but others (like ball pythons) may require leaving the thawed food in overnight. For most cases, if the snake does not eat the food over...

If you're wearing a plain lace skirt you can add some pattern with your top. While you can wear a solid colored top, which may work in a formal setting, a patterned top can add some variation for a less forming setting.  For example, try something like polka dots, stripes, or plaid. Try to match the color when choosing a contrasting pattern. For example, a blue lace skirt can be paired with a white top with blue polkadots. If you're going for a more preppy look, a lace skirt can be paired with a polo top. This can work for somewhat formal occasions. It can especially work well if you're wearing a lace skirt to work. Opt for a button-down polo. Remember to take color into consideration. You don't want to pair a pink lace skirt with a red top. Instead, opt for a white polo with pink stripes to pair with a pink skirt. A cardigan can create a low-key cute look with a lace skirt. You can wear a cardigan over a tank top or sleeveless top. This may work well for semi-formal occasions. A cardigan can also help if you're wearing a lace skirt in the cooler months. If you're looking for something more bohemian, go for a leather top. The contrasting structure will create an interesting dynamic with the lace skirt. If you want full leather, you can go for a full leather blouse or shirt. You can also add a touch of leather by wearing a light leather jacket over another top. If you love the look of lace, add a lace top to a lace skirt. This works best if you can find a similar pattern and color for a lace skirt. This can create an elegant, dress-like look that's appropriate for formal and informal occasions. If you remember where you originally bought your lace skirt, return to that location. They may sell complimentary tops. A blouse can pair well with a lace skirt, especially if you're going to a more formal event. Blouses tend to look more professional when tucked into a lace skirt.

If you're worried about being cornered at a family event, talk to family members individually beforehand. Explain to them your situation regarding children. Answer any specific questions they may have before you meet up with the whole family. Sometimes, a direct approach is the best way to get people to stop asking questions. Of course, you should only give this answer if you actually are having fertility problems and you feel comfortable saying that. Often, family members will back off once you establish that you're having trouble. For instance, you could say, "Well, actually, we're trying to have a family now, but biological children may not be in our cards. In a year or 2, we may decide to adopt." Whether you don't have room for a family or you don't have the money to have a baby right now, tell your family about the situation in a polite way. That lets them know you will be ready someday, but you're not going to have a baby anytime soon. For example, you could say, "I know you're ready for babies in the family, but truthfully, we aren't ready financially to have a child. We don't want to have a child until we can fully support them." Many couples want to make sure they've created a steady relationship before having kids. You can say that to a family member to let them know it could be a few years. For instance, you might say, "You know, we're going to wait a few years before we have kids. We want to make sure our relationship is rock solid before we bring kids into it." If you plan to never have kids, it's best to upfront about that. It may be a disappointment, but your family will have more time to get over it if you tell them now. For example, you could say, "Well, the truth is, we love our family as it is. We don't think we need kids to complete it, so we've decided we aren't having kids."

If you're worried about the disease spreading, having your partner talk to their doctor. Your partner's doctor can recommend treatment options that lessen the likelihood of an outbreak spreading.  Be respectful of your partner when suggesting they see a doctor. Talking about herpes can be embarrassing and stressful; however, your partner told you about their infection because they care about your health. Explain to your partner you want to make sure the two of you have as fulfilling a sex life as possible. You feel a doctor may be able to suggest medications or other treatment options that can lessen the likelihood of the virus being transmitted. You can say something like, "I like you and I really want to have sex with you, but I want to make sure we both stay healthy and safe. What would you think about talking with your doctor about the best way for us to have fun and stay safe?" Antiviral medications can be used to manage a herpes infection. When used properly, these medications reduce the risk of transmission.  Your doctor can prescribe antiviral pills. Some people take the medication every day, but if your partner's outbreaks are rare, their doctor may recommend your partner only take the medication during outbreaks.  Medication is not the proper course of treatment for everyone with herpes. Only a qualified medical doctor will be able to tell your partner if medication is the right choice for them. If your partner has genital herpes, the two of you need to have a discussion about your sex life. You need to establish sexual boundaries with your partner if they have herpes.  Stay calm during the conversation and try to keep things in perspective. Keep in mind that herpes comes with few health risks beyond irritation and many couples engage in sexual activity for years without spreading the virus.  Be transparent with your partner about your expectations. You may prefer to only have sex using condoms or to avoid sex during outbreaks. If you can foresee a long-term relationship with your partner, you may...

Explain the reasons why you are there, and have a list of questions ready to ask. The doctor will help you determine the best treatment for you. However, if you want a different treatment, don't be afraid to get a second opinion. You can also start by talking to your primary care doctor. If you want to discuss special treatments, like those mentioned below, ask for a referral to an endocrinologist. Naltrexone is typically used to treat opioid addiction, as it blocks opioid receptors. In that case, it is given in high doses. However, it has also been used to treat autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's disease, so it may be able to help lower your antibodies. In this case, you take a small dose; for instance, you may start out at 1.5 milligrams per dose.  As a comparison, a full dose is considered 50 milligrams. Low-dose naltrexone has little-to-no side effects. Typically, you may have trouble sleeping in the first week and more vivid dreams overall. Stem cells may also be useful in treating Hashimoto's and Grave's disease. Stem cell treatment may be able to reset your autoimmune disease or just reduce the antibodies in your system.  For instance, one typical treatment is harvesting stem cells from fat, which are then put back into your body. This treatment is called autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, and it's still experimental. These treatments may cause a few minor short-term side effects, such as fever or headache. Your thyroid levels will need to be monitored when beginning either of these treatments, as they can work rapidly on the autoimmune disorder. In turn, it can lead to hyperthyroidism if you're still taking a large dose of the thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism is just as serious as hypothyroidism.

If you're worried that your current partner is cheating on you - especially if you've had this concern about every person you've dated - then, chances are, your worries are rooted in paranoia. Ask yourself if you have any concrete evidence that this may be happening or if all of your concerns are in your head.  Be open and talk to your partner about it. Tell him or her that you know your feelings are irrational and that you want help dealing with them. Don't accuse your partner of cheating or check in every two seconds when you're not together to make sure he or she is not cheating. This will only make your partner feel like there's a lack of trust in the relationship. Maintain your own identity. If you get too obsessed with the person you're dating or start depending on him or her too much, then you'll be even more likely to be paranoid because you'll feel completely dependent on that person's loyalty. Maintain other relationships outside of a romantic one. Ask yourself what you and your group of friends talk about when one of you isn't around - do you spend all of your time gossiping and talking about how much you hate that person? Unless you're in a really gossipy or mean group of friends, then most likely not. Ask yourself how likely it is that people talk about you the second you leave. Do your friends invite you to hang out? Send you text messages? Compliment you? Ask you for advice? If so, then why would you think that they completely hate you? A common paranoid worry that people tend to have at work is that they're always on the brink of being fired or that their boss hates him or her. If this is you, then ask yourself about what evidence you actually have that you're going to lose your job. Do you get to work on time? Put in your hours? Show improvement? If so, then why would you get fired? If you've had no warning signs and people around you aren't getting fired left and right, then it's very likely that your worries are all in your head.  Help yourself feel better by making a list of all the great...

If you're writing a formal letter, put your name and address in the top right-hand corner of the page, followed by the name and address of the person to whom you're writing on the left-hand side of the page.  Most word-processing applications have a business-letter template that will automatically format your letter this way. If you plan to print your letter on letterhead, you don't need to include your name and address. When writing an email, you normally don't include the addresses at the top of the page. If you're sending a formal letter, it is customary to write the date the letter was written at the top. In Spanish letters, the date may be preceded by the city where you are located when you write the letter.  For example, you might write "Acapulco, 23 de diciembre de 2016." Spanish dates follow the convention of writing the day first, followed by the month, with the year last. If you're using just numbers, you would write the same date "23-12-16." For letters printed on letterhead, or more casual letters to friends or acquaintances, place the date in the top right-hand corner where you normally would put your name and address. Formal business letters typically have the date on the left-hand side of the paper below the names and addresses. How you greet the person to whom you're writing in Spanish depends on the person's relationship to you and how well you know them. Casual greetings that might be appropriate for a friend or acquaintance might be offensive to someone who is older than you, or who you don't know personally.  You can address your letter A quien corresponda: (or "to whom it may concern") if you don't know the name of the specific person who will read the letter. This greeting is appropriate for general business letters, such as when you're seeking more information about a product or service. If the person is older than you, or if you're writing them for the first time, use Estimada/o plus the person's surname. Address them as señor or señora where appropriate. For example, you might write...

If you're writing a letter to someone you don't know, regardless of their age or position, it's usually best to err on the side of caution and be more formal. No one will ever be offended by excessive formality. However, a recipient might think you're rude if you address them as tu when you don't know them.  If the recipient is okay being on tu terms with you, they will let you know in their response. Always use vous in business letters, even if you know the recipient. Age plays a big factor in whether you address someone as vous or tu, regardless of your personal relationship to them. Generally, you would address them as vous unless they have specifically requested that you address them as tu. This rule applies even to close relatives who are older than you, such as grandparents or aunts and uncles. In that case, even if you have a close and warm relationship, addressing them as vous indicates a measure of respect and politeness. This is similar to how you might use "ma'am" or "sir" with an older relative in English. Generally speaking, the French expect you to use vous when speaking to someone who is a different gender than you, even if you're friends with them. The use of vous indicates you wish to maintain a polite, respectable distance.  In business communications, the use of vous would indicate that you consider the relationship to be professional in nature, even if you occasionally interact more personally. To some degree, this may be considered an older habit. If you are already on tu terms with the person, you can generally assume that you can write them more informally as well. Even if you're writing to someone you know, if that person is a high ranking government official, you would generally want to write more formally. The only exception might be if the person is a close family member. Your level of formality would also depend on the purpose of your letter. If you are writing the person in their capacity as a government official or other dignitary, use vous even if you have a more personal...

If you've been threatened or feel threatened, do not wait to act. Furthermore, if you've noticed any unquestionably illegal behavior such as stealing your things, assault, or trespassing on personal property, make an immediate note and call authorities. Depending on your age and situation, contact:  Police School or workplace security Teachers or administrators Counselors or therapist Parents Stalkers thrive on secrecy and privacy. Notify your family, friends, neighbors and employers to not to give out your personal information, regardless of the innocuousness of the request or the identity of the questioner. Notify everyone to be cautious of any individual loitering around your neighborhood or place or employment. Give security and friends the description and, if possible, license plate numbers for the stalker's vehicle. Having another person with you will greatly deter most stalkers from approaching. Walk out to your car with a coworker, join a jogging group instead of going alone, and ask someone to come along for errands. There is safety in numbers. This may include letters, phone messages, emails, lurking, or any contact the stalker has attempted to make. Record the date when each contact occurred and keep this record in a safe place. If possible, make copies and give them to a trusted relative or friend, or place them in a safety deposit box. This can be used as evidence if you need to consult the police.

If you've ever wondered what you would look like with bangs, now is the perfect time to give them a shot. Cut them long enough to cover your eyebrows, but not so long that they are in your eyes.  Try side-swept bangs if you've only lost one eyebrow. You can keep your bangs pretty long and leave your undamaged brow visible. If you're not prepared to cut your hair, you can buy clip-in bangs to wear until your eyebrow grows back. If you are missing part of your right eyebrow, make the part on the left side of your scalp. If you are missing the left eyebrow, part on the right. Wet your hair and then use a fine tooth comb to part your hair right above the highest point of your eyebrow. Comb your hair across your forehead to hide your missing or partially shaved brow from view. Use a little hairspray to keep your part in place. It may sound strange at first, but you can find natural looking eyebrow wigs that glue either over your sparse eyebrow or right to your skin if you shaved off your entire brow.  Eyebrow wigs come in a variety of colors and stay put, even when you wash your face, but are easy to remove with oil-based makeup removers. High-quality pairs can be used for up to six months--plenty of time for your brows to grow back. Make sure the hat is snugly on your head pull the bill down, toward your nose, until it covers your eyebrows. Make sure your school doesn't have a policy against wearing hats in class. If your teacher tells you to remove your hat in front of everyone, it will draw more attention to the fact that you were embarrassed and trying to hide. This actually happens to a lot of people, sometimes by accident, sometimes intentionally. It might look a little funny for a while, but so what? This is a temporary situation, and you'll look like yourself again in no time. Just acknowledge what happened--yes, I am missing half of my eyebrow--shrug it off, and move on.

If you've got a full liquor cabinet, get rid of it. Pour out all the alcohol, recycle the bottles, give away your barware. Reminders of alcohol can trigger the desire to drink.  If you always hit up the same bar on your way home from work, start taking a different route so you avoid it. Head straight home instead, or find another place to go to blow off some steam after work, like the gym. Avoid the places you used to drink and get your friends to help you avoid alcohol for the time being. You may get to a place where you don't mind being in bars while your friends drink, but give it some time first. Avoid temptations as much as possible. You don’t need to drink every day to have developed a physical reliance on alcohol. Considerable binge drinking, even on an uneven basis, can lead to physical side effects if you stop drinking altogether. Even if you cut back, you may notice a variety of warning signs that, if you’re not careful, might lead you to stress out and drink to excess again. If you’re a regular binge drinker, it’s likely that you’ll experience any of the following physical symptoms:  Sweating Nausea Headaches Dizziness or shakiness Insomnia You’ll need the support of family and friends to help you through this process. Let them know that you’re worried about your drinking, you don’t feel like you can drink “in moderation,” and you need to stop drinking entirely. If you face peer pressure or encounter friends who don’t support you, consider distancing yourself from them while you work on your drinking problem. Being around people who have their own problems with alcohol can make it very hard for you to stay on track. Disulfiram is a prescription drug that's designed to make drinking undesirable by producing hangover-like symptoms almost instantaneously by blocking the liver's ability to process alcohol. It can be extremely effective in fighting the desire to drink. Other mood-altering drugs are sometimes recommended by doctors, to help you manage stress and deal with your cravings.

If you've had trouble convincing your parents to let you date, you want the first person you introduce to them to be worth it. Think hard about how much you like this person and if it's worth it to try to date them. If you think you'd be embarrassed by them, it's a good sign they aren't the right one.  Being able to move on from a person you know isn't the right fit is a sign of maturity. Make sure that you want to date the person, instead of being infatuated with the idea of being in a relationship. You can subconsciously make a good impression on your potential date before your parents even have a chance to meet them. Talk about your date's achievements and other things that are positive about them.   Try to think about what your parents like. If they like good grades, saying something like “I know this person in school, and they are great at math and English.” Don't talk about your date getting in trouble or doing bad things. Your parents might be more accepting to you dating a person that they know and trust. Dating a friend will also show your parents that you actually like the person, instead of just being obsessed with the idea of dating.   Introducing your future date among a group of friends is a good way to start off. Introducing your date at a public place may ease tensions. If your parents are stern and overprotective, it's a good idea to let your date know so they can prepare themselves. Never surprise your date with an unexpected meeting from your family because it could damage the relationship.  You can put your date's mind at ease by saying “This may not go well, but I'll still like you and want to date you, even if their reactions are bad.” If the introduction goes badly, make sure to call your date later that night.

If you've just been approached by a friend for a date, the best thing you can do to start is to give your answer right off the bat. Don't beat around the bush or avoid giving a real response. Something short and straightforward is best. Although something as simple as "I'm just not into you that way" sounds cold, it's important to lay down the groundwork first. Once that's out of the way, you can offer consolation as a friend.  Say something like "Sorry, I think you're great but I just don't see you that way." rejecting someone like this offers a compliment, but still makes the rejection firm and straightforward. Don't be worried about being blunt. Being blunt will save the other person pain in the long run. Even if you don't take the other person seriously as a dating prospect, his feelings still matter. Trying to sugarcoat the situation to protect his feelings is a common mistake people make, but you should try to be as honest and forthcoming about your rejection as you can. After all, he went out of his way to ask you out. The least he should get in return is some sincerity on your part.  Don't confuse honesty with being cold. There are always ways you can word something to sound less harsh. For instance, instead of saying "I think you're ugly," you can soften it by reminding him it's all about personal taste: "I'm not personally attracted to you, but I could see why other girls might be." Avoiding the touchier parts of your rejection may seem like a good idea at first, but runs the risk of being misinterpreted. Your best bet is to give as many reasons as needed to make him understand the rejection. If you've ever asked someone out before, you should be able to empathize with the sort of courage it can take to make yourself vulnerable to someone. If he's already a friend of yours, he probably sees you as more than just a dating prospect. Taking the moment to see things from the other person's point of view can make it a lot easier to talk things out together.  Even if you feel for the other person, don't...

If you've lost an Android phone there are two ways to track it down. If the phone is still turned on and in range of a wireless signal, you can track it from a computer using Device Manager. If the phone is turned off or is out of service range, you can check your phone's last reported location from a computer.  To use Device Manager, sign into your Google account from a computer or another device. Google's Device Manager should instantly show you your phone's location on a Google Maps screen. Device Manager has additional options to lock your phone, make the phone ring, or remotely wipe its contents and data clear. Check your phone's last recorded location by going to google.com/settings/accounthistory. Then click on "Places You Go," and "Manage History." However, this option relies on wi-fi and mobile signals instead of GPS, so it will not be as accurate at locating your phone as the Device Manager. BlackBerry devices do not typically include their own tracking apps or services. However, you can sign up for a third-party service like Berry Locator. This service costs $6.95 and will send a message to your lost device, as well as show you on a map where your device is located. The primary way to locate a lost iPhone is by using the Find My iPhone app. If your phone does not have the app downloaded, you'll need to download it through the App Store. The Find My iPhone app is fairly accurate, but it requires the phone to be turned on and connected to the internet in order to work.  Using a computer or another mobile device, log into your iCloud and open Find My iPhone. Your phone's location should appear on a map, which you can use to track your phone's movement. Find My iPhone gives you the option of remotely making your iPhone make sounds (to alert you or others nearby of your phone's location and its status as being lost/stolen), send a message with contact information to your iPhone, or wipe the contents and data clear off your device. Windows Phone users can use the built-in lost phone feature that comes on...

If you've never written a statistical report before, you might benefit from looking at other statistical reports that you can use as a guide to format your own. You also get a good idea of how your finished report should look.  If you're completing your report for a class, your instructor or professor may be willing to show you some reports submitted by previous students if you ask. University libraries also have copies of statistical reports created by students and faculty researchers on file. Ask the research librarian to help you locate one in your field of study. You also may be able to find statistical reports online that were created for business or marketing research, as well as those filed for government agencies. Be careful following samples exactly, particularly if they were completed for research in another field. Different fields of study have their own conventions regarding how a statistical report should look and what it should contain. For example, a statistical report by a mathematician may look incredibly different than one created by a market researcher for a retail business. Statistical reports typically are typed single-spaced, using a font such as Arial or Times New Roman in 12-point size. If you have an assignment sheet that describes the formatting requirements, follow those exactly.  You typically want to have 1-inch margins around all sides of your report. Be careful when adding visual elements such as charts and graphs to your report, and make sure they don't bleed over the margins or your report may not print properly and will look sloppy. You may want to have a 1.5-inch margin on the left-hand side of the page if you anticipate putting your study into a folder or binder, so all the words can be read comfortably when the pages are turned. Don't double-space your report unless you're writing it for a class assignment and the instructor or professor specifically tells you to do so. Use headers to add the page number to every page. You may also want to add your last name or the title...

If you've recently started a keto diet, your body will be eliminating large amounts of ketones through the urine. This will result in a deep, maroon-colored urine strip, which correlates to a “Large” amount of ketones in your urine. If you're on a keto diet and the urine strip reads “Trace” or “Small,” increase the rigor of your diet. This can include cutting out more carbs, or consuming more protein. When you begin a ketone diet, your ketone strip will turn a dark maroon or purple. By the time you're a few months in to the diet, though, your urine-strip results will lighten, and may only indicate a “Moderate” amount of ketone in your urine. This is normal, and not a sign that your diet is failing. Once your body has become used to burning stored fat for energy, it will have less ketone to eliminate via urine. For type-1 diabetics, high levels of ketones in your blood can indicate dangerously high blood-sugar levels. Test for ketones if you are worried your blood sugar may be dangerously high. If your test reveals a high amount of ketones in your urine, visit your doctor immediately. Other signs of high blood sugar include: weakness, nausea or vomiting, extreme thirst, and difficulty breathing.

If you've worked to fix an appliance, the best indication that you have not been successful is if the appliance doesn't work. However, make sure to take a few precautions before turning on an appliance you've just fixed:  Try to detect gas before turning it on by smelling, using a gas detector spray, or an electronic gas detector before powering your appliances on. Make sure the room is ventilated and has had time to air out before working an appliance. Call a licensed professional if you've failed to fix a leak. One of the best indications of an ongoing gas leak is a weak pilot light. A weak pilot light may indicate low gas flow. In this event, your fix did not work.  The pilot light should always be a blue transparent color. An orange or red pilot light is an indication of problems. If the pilot light turns off repeatedly, it is likely not getting enough gas and there may be a leak. If you have not fixed a leak, you may be able to spot soot or scorches on the outside of the appliance. Most of the time, these indications will be near the pilot light or connecting gas line.  Scorch marks may be brown or black. Soot may be very fine and whitish-grey.

If your Android's default SMS app keeps notifying you of "new" message you don't actually have, you can usually fix the issue by temporarily switching your default SMS app to something else. Android Messages is just one of many options, but it's a solid choice (even if you don't wind up keeping it).  The Play Store is located in your Android's app drawer. To download Android Messages, type messages into the Play Store's search bar, tap the search button, and then tap INSTALL next to the Messages app by Google. It's the blue icon with a white chat bubble in your app drawer. You'll be prompted to do this soon after launching the app for the first time. Once Messages becomes your default app, your existing SMS messages will appear in the app. You may have to give the app permission to access your messages before they appear. It may appear with a red exclamation point or some other indication that there's something wrong with it. The message may just also appear highlighted since it's unread. After a moment, you'll see some different icons appear at the top of the screen. It's the trash can icon at the top of the screen. This deletes the message from your phone, and you should no longer see notifications for it. Repeat this for any other message for which you're continuously receiving notifications. If you want to continue using Android Messages (it's pretty solid!), you can skip this step. If not, here's how to get back to your prior app:  Samsung Galaxy:  Open your Android's Settings app. It's the gear icon in your app drawer. Tap Apps. Tap the three-dot menu at the top-right corner. Tap Default apps. Tap Messaging Apps. Select your regular messaging app and tap OK.   Other models:  Open your Android's Settings app. It's the gear icon in your app drawer. Tap Apps & Notifications. Scroll down and tap Advanced. Tap Default apps. Tap SMS app. Select your regular messaging app.
