If you can't find a handgrip dynamometer, you can still test your grip strength at home or at the gym.  Using a few household items, you can easily find a fairly accurate reading.  You need to make sure you have all the right equipment on hand.  You'll need a bathroom scale, a pull-up bar or hanging board and a stopwatch. Position the scale right underneath your pull-up bar or board.  These should be high enough that your arms will be fully extended above your head. You want to test your grip strength for a 5 second time period.  Set your stopwatch to 5 seconds or have a friend monitor their watch. To get in the right position, stand on the scale and place your hands on the pull-up bar or board.  Look at the scale to make sure the weight reading is accurate. To test your grip strength with a bathroom scale, you'll want to see how much weight you can pull up with just your hands.  While standing with feet flat on the scale, squeeze your hands around the pull-up bar or the side of the hangboard.  You should not bend your elbows, wrists or knees.  Your entire body, aside from your hands, should remain stable.  You want to aim to lift as much of your body weight off the scale as you can, with only the strength of your hands. Squeeze or pull on the bar as hard as you can with your hands.  Have a friend record what the new weight reading is on the scale.  It will be less than your actual body weight. Again, it's recommended to take an average of these readings.  Do three to five tests and then take the average of these results. Once you've noted your current weight and the averages from the tests, you can calculate your grip strength.  Follow this simple equation:  Your grip strength in pounds = your current weight - your weight while gripping the bar.  For example 180 pounds current weight - 80 pounds while gripping the bar = 100 pounds of grip strength. Record this result and continue to track your grip strength using this same method over time.  This will help you see any improvements after practicing...

If you can't seem to connect your Nook to the internet, your very first step should be to make sure your device's Wi-Fi is on with the following steps:  Tap the Settings button in the top right (it looks like a small gear) Look at the "Wi-Fi" option. If the slider next to it is in the "off" position, move it to the "on" position. Look at the "Airplane Mode"option. If the slider next to it is in the "on" position, move it to the "off" position. To recap, you want Wi-Fi on and Airplane Mode off to connect to the internet. If you can't find your preferred network out of the list of available ones, one potential quick fix is to simply reset your Wi-Fi connection with the following steps:  Tap the Settings button in the top right (it looks like a small gear) Move the slider next to "Wi-Fi" from "on" to "off," wait a few seconds, and switch it back. One reason you may not be getting a good Wi-Fi connection is that you're simply too far away from the source of the signal. Try moving right next to your Wi-Fi router and connecting again. If you know that your home network is operating but you can't see it on your Nook, it may be set to run as a hidden network. To add it manually, use these steps:  Tap the Settings button in the top right. Tap "All Settings." Tap "Wireless & Bluetooth." Tap on "Find other networks." Tap "Add Network." Enter your network's information and finish by pressing "Save." Some problems may require more assistance than can be provided online.

If you can, just ignore the warts because they can sometimes go away on their own. You can cover the warts with bandages or even be stylish by using a scarf or a bandanna to cover facial warts. Study shows that most warts will resolve themselves after two years.  However, if the warts really bother you, by all means try the treatment options discussed above. If the warts persist for years, or if you find they begin to spread, seek medical attention. Stop touching the warts and leave them alone. Practice the universal precaution of good hand hygiene so that you don’t transmit the warts to others. Picking warts can worsen your problem.  Keep your hands dry and clean because warts thrive on moist areas. Make it a habit to wash your hands before and after applying topical solutions on your warts. Isolate your clothes and towels. Make sure that others don't use these items of yours to prevent the transmission of warts. If possible, label them so that others will know that these are your items and will think twice about using them. This can easily spread the virus to other areas. Remember, warts are highly contagious. Even a slight brush of the affected part can infect you or others. This can also harbor warts and spread them to other people. You may want to let your facial hair grow if you can, to avoid shaving the area. Facial scrubs and abrasives may contribute to this as well.

If you can, try to go on a day/time when the dealership is closed so you can browse freely and not be bothered by any sales pitches or arm twisting. If salespeople do approach you, tell them you have no intention of buying, and are just doing market research, and would prefer to look undisturbed. If they continue to hassle you, walk away and go to another dealership: you probably don't want to buy from a dealership that doesn't respect the customer's wishes. This is called the "invoice price," and it's relatively easy to get on the internet. Arming yourself with the invoice price lets you haggle starting low and going up, as opposed to starting high and going down. It's a much better position to be in. Make sure you find the invoice price with all the available features you want. The invoice price doesn't mean much unless it actually matches the features of the car you're trying to buy. Use websites such as Autobytel.com, VINSnoop.com and PriceQuotes.com to shop for quotes that you can use as bargaining chips when you actually decide to negotiate in person. Many dealerships will also have an online branch that will get you a quote in a couple days; use them! For the best possible bargain, it's essential to have your financial game plan laid out before you set foot on the dealership. This includes:  Knowing your credit score if you intend to finance. You can get a free report once a year from each of the three major credit reporting agencies. If you haven't done so already, get your credit score. Shopping around for a loan from a bank or credit agency.  Getting a loan directly from the dealership can be a bad idea. Get a loan secured before you walk into the dealership; the dealership might be able to beat the price, and if they can't, you know you'll be able to finance your car another way.

If you cannot remove the pillow insert, make sure that the cover is washable. If it is not washable, you will need to spot clean the cover instead. Click here to learn how to clean a non-removable pillow cover. The last thing you'd want is to put a damaged pillow into a washer, and open the door at the end of the cycle to find a pile of feathers. Before you stick your pillow into the washer, examine it carefully. Focus on the body of the pillow as well as the seams. If you see any rips or tears, stitch them up using a needle and thread. Placing the pillows vertically will ensure that they won't wrap around the agitator while they are spinning and get tangled.  Washing two pillows at once will help balance out the drum inside the washing machine. Washing the pillows separate from the rest of your laundry will ensure that there is enough water to rinse the soap out properly. If the pillow is not washable, toss it into dryer with a few tennis balls or dryer balls. The head will kill any odor-causing bacteria. When choosing soap, make sure that it is liquid and low sudsing; powdered detergent will be too difficult to wash out. If the care label on your pillow has different requirements for water temperature, detergent, and cycle setting, follow what the label says instead. Because pillows are so bulky, a single rinse cycle may not be enough. Many people find that they have to do an additional rinse cycle or two in order to get all of the suds out. The longer they sit, the more likely they will end up smelling musty. Do not twist or wring the pillow. Instead, place it at the end of a large, clean towel. Place another towel right on top, so that the pillow is sandwiched in between. Start rolling the pillow along with the two towels, from one end to the other. Press down on the roll, then unravel it. Repeat this step for any other pillows you have just washed If the pillows are filled with feathers, use the no-heat setting. If the pillows are filled with a synthetic material, such as fiberfill, use a low-heat...

If you cannot see out the back of the vehicle, you will need to use your side mirrors to see as you back up.  Before you begin, adjust your side mirrors to ensure you can see the side of the vehicle, the ground, and anything coming up from behind you. In many cars you can adjust both mirrors from the driver’s seat, but in some you may need to adjust them manually by hand on each side. Using mirrors will only show you what is behind your vehicle on either side, so it’s important to check both sides often.  This will prevent you from accidentally hitting something, or from not noticing as someone approaches from one side or the other.  You likely will need to drive even slower in reverse when using mirrors to be sure you don’t miss anything. It may help to pay closer attention to the mirror on a side with an obstacle, so you can keep your eyes on it. If you are backing up using only your mirrors in a difficult area, you may choose to ask a friend to guide you.  Using your mirrors to keep an eye on a friend that is checking your clearances from the back may be your best option when driving a box truck or something else with severely limited visibility.  Have your friend stand behind the vehicle on one side to ensure you can see them as they guide you. Make sure to open your windows and turn off the radio to hear your friend’s instructions as you back up.

If you can’t find the right color, you can dye them using hair dye (if they are made from real hair). You can also buy them in a lighter shade for an ombre effect. It would be even better if the extensions matched your hair texture (curly or straight). Don't worry if you can't find the right ones; you can curl or straighten them later. Most packs of extensions will come with 7 wefts, or strings of hair. Each weft will have 2, 3, or 4 clips sewn into it. Separate your wefts into groups based on how many clips are sewn in. Some groups may only have a single weft, while another group may have up to 4 wefts. Knowing how many clips are on each weft is important. Where you place the weft depends on how many clips are sewn into it. Gently brush the hair starting from the ends. Never drag a brush straight down through the wefts without detangling it first. If the hair is particularly knotted, detangle it first using a wide-toothed comb, then brush it. to match your hair, if desired. If the extensions are made from real hair, apply a heat protectant product then use a curling iron or a hair straightener on them, just like you would on your own hair. If they are made from synthetic fibers, read the package to ensure that they are heat-resistant, or you risk melting the fibers. Alternatively, you can straighten or curl your hair to match the extensions instead.  A trick for styling the extensions is to pull your own hair back into a ponytail then clip the extensions in one at a time to the side of your head and curl or straighten them. Alternatively, you can clip the extensions to a skirt hanger to make it easier to style them. Even though these extensions are only temporary, your hair should be clean, dry, and free of any knots or tangles. Wash your hair as you normally would, then allow it to air dry or use a hairdryer. Brush your hair until it is smooth and free of knots.

If you can’t run and defending yourself is your only option, you will want to do something unpredictable. Spit in your attacker’s face, or drop suddenly to the ground. If you have a backpack or a purse, throw it at their head. If this gives you an opening to run away, do so. If not, you’ll still have thrown them off and given yourself a chance to fight. Being unarmed against a knife attack is a dangerous position to be in. Look around your surroundings for anything that you might use as defense, especially anything that's heavy or relatively long. Anything that puts some distance between you and your attacker is good. You can make a weapon out of almost anything you find around yourself: throw a jacket or shirt over your attacker, put keys between your fingers, or pick up something heavy nearby and swing it at them. When your attacker lunges for you, they will be off balance. If you found your own weapon, now is the time to ram into them. If not, strike out at them to throw them further off with a kick to the groin or the legs. Just make sure to steer clear of the knife. If you are lucky enough to have a weapon to use, strike at the person’s hand, keeping as much space between you and them as possible. This will weaken and damage their hand to the point that they’ll no longer be able to hold the knife. If you don’t have a weapon, you will need to try to grab their wrist and disarm them instead. While any grab near the knife is incredibly dangerous, grabbing your attacker’s wrist may be your only choice. Grabbing their wrist firmly will give you control of the knife’s direction and give you a moment to punch or strike them. You may be able to wrest the knife from their control, but using both hands to try to take the knife leaves them with an opening to headbutt or punch you instead! Keep them on the defensive by continuing to attack them. If you’re able to, continue to hold their wrist and strike at their head and legs until you can get them on the ground. Once they’re on the ground, continue to keep the...

If you care about your FWB’s feelings, but don’t think you could ever go back to being just friends, have an honest conversation with them. End your relationship while honoring your friendship by letting them know exactly why you’ve made this decision. If needed, write a letter or email, either before or after talking with them directly, to express all the points you wish to make clearly so nothing is left unsaid:  “Now that I’m seeing So-and-So, I feel like I’m only being half-hearted with them because I still think of you as more than just a friend.” “I’m not ready for a serious relationship, but it feels like that is where we ended up, and it wouldn’t be fair keep going just because it seems like that is the only way for us to stay friends at all.” “I said at the start that I was fine with ‘no strings attached’ because I truly thought I was fine with it, but now I realize you mean much more to me than that, and I can’t go back to the way things were without pretending to be okay with that, too.” Use straight-to-the-point words to make it absolutely clear that things are over. Resist feeling obligated or being manipulated into providing some sort of exception that might lead to the resumption of benefits. Respect their feelings and avoid being hurtful (unless they really warrant it), but avoid sugar-coating the situation and leading them on with false hope. If they continue to pursue benefits after you have told them that things are over, write them a text or email to restate your decision, using no uncertain terms, so that it is right there, in plain language, for them to see, without providing them a chance to argue the point. If your FWB refuses to accept the change in your status, reinforce your decision to move on by cutting off all ties. Unfriend them on social media. Take their phone number out of your phone.

If you choose to remove your pubic hair, shaving is less painful that waxing and the most economical option. To ensure a comfortable shave:  Trim your pubic hair before shaving. Use scissors to cut your hairs as short as possible. This keeps hairs from snagging onto the razor and pulling at your skin. Choose a razor designed to shave pubic hair. Most razors will work fine but if you plan to shave in a delicate and hard to reach place like between your buttocks, a specialized razor can prevent nicks and cuts from happening. For example, some razors are equipped with a trimmer or are coated with a soothing lotion. Bathe or shower before shaving to open up your pores and soften coarse hairs. Typically, pubic hair is thicker than the hairs on our heads. Use shaving cream to help protect your skin while shaving. However, be careful not to put shaving cream onto your genital area as it can cause irritation and inflammation. Apply aloe vera or baby oil after shaving. Don’t use moisturizers with added dyes or fragrances. You can get waxed by a professional or do it at home. However, there is an element of pain that comes with pubic waxing. To relieve pain, take aspirin or ibuprofen 30 minutes before waxing. To ensure a comfortable waxing experience:  Wait until your pubic hair is about a quarter of an inch (1 cm) long before waxing. The wax will grab onto the hair follicle, making it easier to remove. Follow the instructions of at-home wax kits carefully. Some kits will have a pot or cup of wax for you to heat and apply, while others will have premade strips ready for you to use. Test the temperature of the hot wax before applying it to your pubic area. A burn down there can be extremely uncomfortable. Test the temperature by applying a bit of wax to the inside of your wrist. Wax needs to be hot enough for it to spread over your skin but not hot enough that it will burn it. Wear cotton underwear and clothing after waxing to allow your skin to breathe and avoid irritation. There are different looks and styles you can...

If you choose to start the path to recovery alone, bear in mind that alcohol withdrawal can potentially be deadly. If you start experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms (panic attacks, severe anxiety, the shakes, rapid heart beat) you should seek immediate  medical assistance. The condition could potentially deteriorate to delirium tremens, which is deadly, if left untreated.  Don't feel like you need to quit alone. You are carrying a heavy burden, but plenty of people (including people with medical degrees) want to help you. It's often easier to quit with the help of medical intervention than it is to try it cold turkey. Doctors treating withdrawal from alcohol often prescribe benzodiazepines to help with symptoms. Benzodiazepines, which include alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan), are psychoactive drugs used to calm anxiety and quell panic. They can be addictive on their own and can be fatal if taken with alcohol. For this reason, you should only take them for a short time while being monitored by your doctor. Remember, you're not being forced to give up a good friend who has treated you well. Instead, you are finally ridding yourself of an enemy. Adjust your attitude so that quitting is made easier. Your better half wants you to quit; your selfish half wants you to stay the same. Be ambitious, but reasonable. If you are very heavy drinker you must first slow down to avoid withdrawal symptoms (in this case it is best to have your doctor help you plan your quitting date). Don't feel that just because you are having guests over you need to offer them a beer, wine, or cocktail.  It is perfectly fine to offer people tea, lemonade, coke, or the like.

If you compliment her all the time, eventually the “special” feeling can start to wear off. How often is too often is difficult to gauge, but you should generally try to save compliments for special occasions and times when you feel like it’s really important. You know that feeling you get where you think your heart might just burst from how wonderful she is? That’s a good time to compliment her. When she’s clearly beating herself up about something? That might be a good time to point out that she’s got stronger traits that are going to carry her through. The point of a compliment is to make her feel good; it’s not actually about earning you points. That means that compliments should be saved for times when it’s really important to make her feel good about herself. Women can almost always tell when you’re not being genuine with your compliment. This is why things will often go wrong if you’re trying to compliment a girl you’ve never met: you don’t really know her so how can you know anything actually worth complimenting. Whatever you compliment her on, you have to really mean it. You have to honestly think that it’s a good thing. Your earnest belief will come across and, even if it’s a little cheesy, she’ll be really flattered. This is why we feel really good when kids give us a compliment. It might not always be worded in the perfect way and it might be complimenting something kind of weird, but kids haven’t learned how to flatter people to get what they want. When they compliment us, they mean it, and it’s extremely heartwarming, even if the delivery sucks. Now, you might hear advice telling you that you’ll be more likely to score with a girl if you give her a compliment that insults her just a little bit, making her think that her only chance is with a guy like you (who “doesn’t care” about her “faults”). If this works with any girls at all, it will only work with women who have very low self-confidence. They are not the kind of women that you want to date. Instead, when you compliment her, be respectful....

If you continue to have symptoms of a pinched nerve for a week or longer, or if your symptoms do not respond to things like taking an over-the-counter pain reliever or using a heating pad, then you should see a doctor. Tell your doctor about your symptoms including when they started and what (if anything) seems to help.  Tell your doctor about any recent changes in your physical activity levels and any changes you have noticed in your bowel or bladder habits.  Be aware that leaving a pinched nerve untreated may lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Your doctor will examine your body for any signs of a problem. Be sure to point out the areas where you have been having symptoms. For example, if you have been having numbness and tingling in part of your leg, then specify the area of your leg where you have these symptoms. Over time, a pinched nerve may cause swelling, pressure, and scarring, so your doctor may be checking for this. Let your doctor know if you have noticed any of these symptoms. Your doctor may not be able to make a diagnosis based on your symptoms and a physical exam alone. You may have to go for some tests to identify the problem. Some tests your doctor may order include:  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Your doctor may order an MRI to get images of the affected region. An MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to generate images of the inside of your body. Nerve Conduction Study. For this test, a series of electrodes will be placed on your skin to measure the how your nerves respond when a small electrical current passes through them. Electromyography (EMG). For this test, your doctor will need to insert a needle into the muscles where your symptoms are located to test their reaction and determine if there has been any nerve damage. X-ray.

If you cut into the bars before they are fully cooled, they will stick to each other. If you intend to eat them within two days, the bars can be covered and left to sit out at room temperature because of their low moisture content. The more sugar a bar contains, the safer it is to store it at room temperature because the sugar absorbs moisture and creates an environment that is hard for bacteria to thrive in. If they are going to be consumed over a longer period of time, you will need other options.  Vacuum seal individual bars to keep them at room temperature. The oxygen free environment reduces the chances that bacteria can grow. These can be kept in a cabinet for up to 5 days. Refrigerate the bars. This is the safest and best way to store them. In the fridge, the bars can last 7 to 10 days. Be wary of other foods in the fridge because the bars may have a tendency to pick up volatile flavors, like onion, which can ruin their taste. Freeze the bars. Bars can be frozen for an indefinite period of time without worry of microbiological contamination. However, the quality of the bars will degrade. It is best to freeze homemade snack bars for up to one month for optimum quality. Freezing will slowly dehydrate the bars, and, since they have so little moisture to begin with, too long in the freezer will cause them to crumble. Also, the moisture that comes out of the food can cause ice crystals on the surface of the food, which acts like a knife to the food breaking the texture.

If you decide that you'd rather broil than boil your lobster, start by turning on your broiler and letting it warm up for about five to 10 minutes. Mix 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, 1/2 tsp of paprika and 1 tsp of lemon juice together and rub on the exposed lobster meat generously. While broiling, these seasonings will seep deep into the lobster and add excellent flavor. You can cover the baking sheet in tin foil, if you would like. The foil will reduce the need to clean the pan. Broil until the lobster meat becomes opaque and the outer tail turns a light shade of brown. Let your lobster tail cool for five to 10 minutes after you remove it from the oven.

If you decide to let your body hair grow, you might hear comments about how it’s “unsanitary” or “unhygienic.” This is simply not true. Body hair is normal and healthy, and may even protect your skin from damage. Remember that removing your hair is a personal choice that has nothing to do with your health or cleanliness. If someone tells you it’s unhygienic, say, “You probably don’t know this, but body hair is natural and healthy. There’s nothing dirty about a woman being hairy, just like it’s safe for men to be hairy.” Just as you should never feel pressured to remove your body hair, don’t feel like you can’t remove hair that bothers you. How much hair you have on your body is a personal choice, so it’s okay if you want to remove some of it. Do what makes you happy, and know you can change your mind at any time. For instance, you might decide to let all of your body hair grow, or you may decide to just shave your legs. Similarly, you might grow out your hair most of the year but remove it during the hotter months of the year. your face or body hair daily to control excess body hair. The easiest way to remove hair is to shave it. Apply a shaving cream or soap over the skin you plan to shave. Then, drag a razor over your skin to remove the hair. Go against the direction of your hair growth to remove it effectively. Then, rinse your skin to remove the shaving cream or soap.

If you decide to start the cleome early, you should prepare to sow the seeds indoors between mid-February and late March.  Ideally, seeds started indoors should be sown roughly four to six weeks before you plan to transplant them outside. While cleome can be sown early indoors, many gardeners believe that the plants thrive best when sown outdoors. For best results, choose a seed starting soil mix instead of a standard garden mix. Loosely fill the containers with soil; do not pack it in. Plastic seedling trays are recommended, but you could also use small plastic cups, small plastic pots, or small ceramic pots. Regardless of the specifics, try to stick with a container that has a diameter or length no greater than 4 inches (10 cm). Make a shallow 1/4-inch (6-mm) indentation in the soil with your fingertip, the drop a seed inside. Sprinkle over the seed with a very light layer of soil.  If you are using small seedling trays, plant one seed per compartment. If you are planting the seeds in a slightly larger plant, make sure that the seeds are 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Place the sown seeds and their containers in large plastic bags, then transfer the bags to the refrigerator. Keep the seeds there for two weeks.  This part of the process, known as vernalization, takes advantage of the plant's natural ability to thrive when brought out of cold temperatures and into warm temperatures, and mimics the way this happens in nature. Only keep the seeds in the refrigerator, though. Do not use the freezer. Do not allow frost to form, and do not allow the soil to dry out. The seeds should be kept in a warm location with regular, daily access to direct sunlight.  The soil temperature should be kept between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21 and 25 degrees Celsius) during this time. Bottom sources of heat work best. Consider resting the containers on top of a heat mat designed for use with plants. If you cannot provide bottom heat, at least make sure that the seeds remain in a room that is continually kept warm. Usually, the seeds...

If you decide to talk to your partner about the issue, you should arrange a time to discuss it in a private, quiet place. You may choose a neutral spot, such as a coffee shop or a park bench. Or you may invite your partner over to your home when you are alone so you can have a private conversation one on one.   If possible, give yourself some time between when you find out the news and having this conversation. Allow time to collect your thoughts and try to identify your emotions. Try to talk in person with your partner, rather than on the phone or by text. This will ensure you can express your emotions clearly and sincerely to your partner face to face. Ask your partner, “Can we talk about the fact that you’re married?” or “Can we discuss your marriage and what this means for our relationship?” Begin the conversation by telling your partner you know they are married and explain how you found out. Perhaps you spoke to your partner's spouse or you discovered the information through a mutual friend. Be clear about what you know to your partner so you can start the discussion from a position of honesty.  For example, you may tell your partner, "I know you are married," or, "I recently learned you are married." Even if you are embarrassed about the means by which you discovered that your partner is married, be honest about how you found out. Being honest about this, even if you feel you did something wrong (such as look at their private email), can begin to shift the dynamic of the relationship toward truth and honesty. Once you and your partner are alone, explain how you are feeling about the situation. Use “I” statements so your partner understands how you feel and can listen to what you have to say. Speak clearly and calmly in a regular tone of voice. This will ensure you and your partner have a productive conversation. For example, you may say, “I am feeling upset about your marriage. I feel as though I do not know what this means for our relationship.” Or you may say, “I am angry that you did not tell me you...

If you detect any of the signs or symptoms of diabetes, schedule an appointment to see you doctor as soon as possible. Getting a timely diagnosis and treatment from your doctor can help you avoid serious and life-threatening complications.  Tell your doctor any symptoms you’ve experienced and for how long. Consider using the notes you made as a reference during your exam.  Make sure your doctor is aware of any risk factors you have, including a family history of diabetes.  Ask your doctor any questions you may have about diabetes or its treatment. Considering writing down questions before your appointment so that you don’t forget to ask during the appointment. If your doctor suspects that you have diabetes, she will order additional testing. There are different types of tests to diagnose types 1 and 2 diabetes as well as gestational diabetes. The following tests are used to diagnose diabetes:  A1c blood test, which is also known as a glycated hemoglobin test. This test shows your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months by showing how much blood sugar is attached to your hemoglobin. A level of 6.5 is considered diabetic.  Random blood sugar test, which examines your blood sugar at an unspecified time. A level of 200 milligrams per deciliter indicates diabetes.  Fasting blood sugar test, which is conducted after an overnight fast. If your blood sugar level is 126 milligrams per deciliter, it’s considered diabetic.  Oral glucose tolerance test, which requires overnight fasting and then drinking a sugary liquid the next morning. After this, your blood sugar levels will be tested over the next two hours. A reading of more than 200 milligrams per deciliter, it’s considered diabetes.  Initial glucose challenge test and follow-up glucose testing analyze the blood of pregnant women who have fasted and then consumed a sugary liquid. This usually occurs at 24–28 weeks of gestation.  If your blood sugar level readings are high for two of three readings, you’ll be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. In...

If you develop shin pain that won't go away after a few days, and none of the usual treatments work, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your legs and ask questions about your family history, diet, and lifestyle, and maybe even send you for a blood test (to check blood glucose levels among many other possible causes of lower leg issues, calcium imbalance, potassium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, etc., and rule out the possibility of diabetes). However, your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal or circulatory specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training.  Other types of healthcare professionals who could help diagnose and treat shin splints include osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists. Your family doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin to help you deal with the pain and inflammation of shin splints. Shin splints are not considered a serious medical problem (although they can be quite painful and hinder walking), but there are some serious conditions that can mimic shin splints such as stress (hairline) fractures of the tibia, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), diabetic neuropathy, bone cancer, chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles) or popliteal artery entrapment. As such, a medical specialist may be needed to properly diagnose your condition, such as vascular surgeon or an orthopedist (musculoskeletal specialist).  Vascular ultrasound is a painless procedure that allows a doctor to assess the function of the veins and arteries of your lower leg. X-rays or bone scans of the lower legs can be used to rule out more serious medical conditions such as bone cancer or fractures. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Obviously, conditions such as diabetes, cancer, or venous...

If you do not have an iron available, a hairdryer can have the same effect. Use the hairdryer to melt the wax and then carefully lay the brown paper bag on top of the wax. The paper bag will begin to absorb the warm wax. Repeat the process until all of the wax has been transferred. Use a blank paper bag or clean rag for this method as well. WD-40 breaks down the wax and makes it softer and easier to clean off of upholstery. Gently scrub the solution into the fabric and wipe away with a clean rag or sponge. Use warm water to clean the solution from the fabric once all of the wax is removed. Test the WD-40 on an inconspicuous portion of the fabric before using it on a more noticeable section. Combine the dish detergent with warm water in a small container. Dish detergent is designed to break down grease and, in some cases, can break down the wax. Gently scrub the wax with a clean sponge or rag and then let dry.

If you do not have enough funnels for each jar, you can use the same funnel for all of them. Simply fill one jar before removing the funnel and using it to fill the next. Use a large ladle to make the process cleaner and easier. Fill the jars, leaving only 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) of headspace or empty space at the top of each jar. Stir in 2 Tbsp (60 ml) of lemon juice into each of the three quart-size jars of tomato sauce. Lemon juice is a strong natural preservative and will keep your tomato sauce from spoiling more effectively. Make sure that the lids are tightly secured, but avoid over-tightening them since doing so may cause the lids to pop off their tracks. Wipe away any excess tomato sauce with a clean, dry towel. Make sure that they are well positioned so that they do not slide around or strike against each other. Fill the canner with enough water to completely cover the jars with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Bring the water to a boil before you start the time. Alternatively, you can use a clean stockpot to boil the jars, as well. You may need to place a rack or a dish towel into the bottom of the pot to prevent the jars from sliding around, however. The amount of time you need to boil the jars for will vary depending on the altitude you live at.  Boil for 40 minutes if you are at an altitude of 1000 feet (304.8 m) or less. Boil for 45 minutes at an altitude between 1,000 feet (304.8 m) and 3000 feet (304.8 m and 914.4 m). Boil for 50 minutes at altitudes between 3000 and 6000 feet (914.4 m and 1.82 km). Boil for 55 minutes at altitudes above 6000 feet (1.82 km). Allow them to dry and cool in a draft-free area overnight. Do not let the jars touch as they cool. Press the center "button" on each lid. If it does not move, the jars are sealed. If it moves up and down or makes a popping sound, the jars have not sealed. You will need to reheat the contents of the jar before attempting to can them again.

If you do not have proof it is generally wise to avoid accusing the person of being an addict. This is because some psychological disorders have similar signs. Instead, if the person has not done anything specifically wrong, continue to monitor the person’s work. If you are a fellow employee and strongly suspect someone of abusing drugs, consider bringing the subject up with your boss, without accusing the person directly or explicitly. Your boss will then be able to begin monitoring the person’s work. Keep a written record of your observations, including dates and times. If possible, try to have a witness for each observation that you list (such as someone else who was in the room when the suspected person began irrationally yelling at a co worker for something that the suspected person had actually done). Be attuned to the person’s odor, whether his or her eyes are glassy, speech issues, and whether they appear drowsy. If you think a person may be under the influence of drugs, but you are not sure, get another supervisor as your witness, take the employee aside, and tell the person to go home. Do not allow him to drive if you can avoid it. Then: Talk to the person the next day and ask them to explain their behavior. There may be a reason other than substance abuse that was causing the person to act the way that they did the previous day. If they can give no viable reason, go over the company's policies again and urge the person to seek help. If the person comes clean and confesses to abusing drugs (which is unlikely but possible), help the person to get the support that they need. Try to help them learn more about the resources available to them. Many companies offer educational materials and other resources to employees that are struggling with substance abuse. Create a list of treatment plans or facilities, as well as some support groups in the area. If you are the one that will meet with the person, do so with an observer to help keep the situation under control. A substance abuser may act irrationally...

If you do not have the original packaging for your TV, you can buy a packing kit that is specially made for packing TVs. These are available from most moving companies and at many home improvement stores.  Packing kits typically include a box that can hold TVs in a range of sizes. Look at the packaging before you buy the kit to make sure your TV will fit in it. Kits should include a box and corner cushioning for the TV. They may also include padding, such as bubble wrap. Each type of packing kit will have slightly different directions. Read your kit's directions before starting packing and follow them in order to protect your TV from damage. It is a good idea to wrap your TV in a protective layer before putting it in a box. This protective layer can consist of soft padding, such as a thin blanket, or packing material, such as bubble wrap. Use a thin layer of padding before putting the corner protectors on so you can be sure that they will fit over the padding. Your packing kit should come with corner protectors that fit over the corners of your TV. There will be 4 included and they should be adjustable to fit a variety of sizes of TVs. Follow the directions for how to put them on your TV. Once the corner protectors are in place you should slide your TV into its box. Many packing kits come with a 2-part box in order to fit a variety of sizes of TVs. Place your TV in 1 box piece and then slide the second piece on over the first. Because packing kits are made to fit many different TVs, there may be a lot of empty space in the box. Try filling this space with packing material, such as newspaper or bubble wrap, to ensure that your TV is kept secure. If there is a lot of extra space, try using a moving blanket or small cushion to fill up the space. Once your TV is properly packed, you can seal up the box. Make sure the box is thoroughly taped so that the box will stay intact even if it is moved around and jostled in transit.

If you do not like the thickness of your veal, slice it into thinner pieces. If you want to make schnitzel, a very thin version of veal scallops, use a meat hammer to gently pound the veal until it is flattened to your liking. For the best results, do this on a wooden cutting board. Extra fat around the edges of your veal may cause curling when you fry it. Before battering your cutlets, use a small, sharp knife to trim extra fat. Brace each piece with one hand and trace around the edges carefully until the pieces are perfect. Begin the breading process by coating veal pieces in regular, all-purpose flour. Next, dip them in a bowl of raw egg until they are fully covered. Finally, place the cutlets into a bowl of breadcrumbs, which will stick to the flour and egg coating very easily. Place a dab of butter or into a 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil into a sautée pan and set it to a medium heat. Place your cutlets it the plan. Cook them for 2–3 minutes, turning once halfway through. Adjust the cooking time for thicker cutlets. Use a meat thermometer if you are not sure if they are cooked through. For a complete meal, serve breaded veal scallops with roasted vegetables like potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and red peppers. You can also serve them with spaghetti or other pasta for a satisfying supper. To boost the flavor of your meal, top your breaded veal scallops with a garlic cream sauce or tomato sauce.

If you don't already know the number for where you need to call, you will need to find the number, either on a website, in a book, or from a family member or friend that you are trying to call. The area codes are 2-5 digits long. A phone number without the area code is 3-9 digits long. Generally, numbers you would need to call would be about 9 digits, so if it is only 9 digits long then you will need to figure out the area code. One things you can do is look up the area code for the region you are calling and see if it matches up with the first few numbers that you have. International calling rates are usually quite steep, so a call to the wrong number would be a costly mistake. If the number can't be retrieved directly from the person or business being called, international phone directories, both residential and commercial, are available on the Internet.

If you don't feel comfortable in what you're wearing, that will show. Pick something in a color and style you love, and your confidence will shine through. Maybe you love an awesome tankini and shorts, or maybe you like to rock a one piece. Maybe you like short shorts or maybe you prefer board-length shorts. Just pick whatever makes you happy.  Try a bright color to really stand out, such as turquoise or hot pink. Patterns can also add pizazz to your outfit. You could try polka dots, stripes, or even a funky plaid suit. You could also go classic and simple with a one-piece black suit. If you want to wear makeup to the pool, keep it simple. Most of it is probably going to wash off anyway, so you might as well go light. Skip the foundation altogether, if you use it, and just go with a primer. Any makeup you wear should obviously be waterproof so it doesn't run all over your face. Try a waterproof mascara and a waterproof lipstick in a light color. Once again, if you're getting in the pool, you don't want a super fancy hairdo. You can go for a messy, wavy look by spraying in a texturizer that adds waves. You can also twist your bangs up and then pin them back out of your face. Throw your hair up in a ponytail if that's more your style. If your hair is super short, just go for a wild, natural look, as it will soon be getting wet. When you arrive and leave, it's best to have something besides just your bathing suit on. Plus, there are likely to be games and food, and you'll want to have some clothes on for that. However, you can keep it simple. Throw on a t-shirt over your swim shorts or a coverup dress over your bathing suit, and you're good to go. Add a pair of cool sandals and shades to complete the look.

If you don't have a dishwasher, it can be easy to let dishes go for a day or two (or longer). Letting dishes sit around, whether in the sink or in the dishwasher, can spread harmful bacteria at a rapid rate. If you can't get to them immediately, let them soak to ease the process when you get to them, but try to limit it to an overnight soak. This will ensure that any gunk immediately in the drain will wash away before it solidifies, making it harder to remove later. Alternate between using very hot tap water and boiling water. This will also prevent odors from forming.

If you don't have any experience making homemade soups before, clear soups are recommended as a way to learn the ropes, as they offer more room for simplicity. Before getting started, you'll need to figure out what kind of soup you're looking to make. Is it a hearty vegetable soup? A mineral-rich bone broth? Having a good idea of where to go early on will take the stress and guesswork out of the process later on. While this is by no means an exhaustive list of recommended ingredients to have in your homemade soup, it's a good place to start.  Potatoes, peas, kidney beans and carrots are great if you're looking to make a hearty broth. Other vegetables like roughly chopped celery, tomatoes and corn can give the soup a richer taste. Aromatics like onions and garlic are highly recommended for their flavour. The smaller you cut them, the more their flavour will inform the rest of the broth. Noodles are great in soups (for instance, chicken noodle soup) as they tend to embody the flavour of the stock. They're an especially effective addition to a soup that's otherwise lacking in solid substance. If you choose to have meat in your soup, make sure it is pre-cooked, and kept in small enough pieces. You'll also want to make sure the type of meat complements your soup stock.   If you're using beans, make sure to have them pre-soaked in water. This will ensure they cook more evenly alongside the other ingredients. There are multiple ways to do this. Though it depends on the type of soup you would like to make, one recommended method is to make a stock by simmering soup bones in a pot of water overnight. This will extract the minerals and flavour from the bones, giving your soup a hearty and nutritious base to start with. Chicken and beef bones are standard choices for soups, though different bones will each yield their own individual tastes.  For a vegetarian alternative, adding finely chopped vegetables to a pot of water and letting it simmer will make a fine vegetable stock for your soup. If you're thrifty, you can use...

If you don't have one, or don't use it properly, you might develop bad habits. You can buy them online or at a specialty sporting goods store.  If you go to a squash club, you may be able to rent a racket, and balls, instead of buying one. If you just want to try out the sport to see if you like it, you could use a different kind of racket, such as a tennis racket or a racquetball racket. However, if you decide that you would like to play more than once or twice, you should get an actual squash racket. Squash balls come in different colors which signify their speed, yellow is super slow, green or white is slow, red is medium, and blue is fast. More experienced players use slower balls, so as a beginner you should get a faster one. This will help you to make the ball bounce easier. Squash balls are not sold in all sporting goods stores. You may have the most luck finding them online. Courts are located in dedicated squash clubs but also at some gyms and sports centers. Call the location you want to play at to make sure a court is available, as you may need to make a specific reservation to use it.  You will need to wear sneakers or tennis shoes that do not have dark soles inside a squash court. Dark soles are not allowed because of the marks they would make all over the court. If you become highly interested in the sport and want to play on a regular basis, you could join a squash club if there is one near you.

If you don't know where the fishing spots are in the map, open your map by pressing M and then look for the white fish icon.  Different maps in the game give different levels and types of fish. The higher the level of the map, the tougher and higher tier equipment needed to fish. If you plan on fishing at a level 45+ map, it's advisable that you get a better fishing rod, bait, and equipment. After choosing a fishing spot, head to it and stand on dry land or shallow water. Click on the Fishing icon in the water to throw out your line. A circular window will appear on your screen with an image of a fishing line. There are three different fishing modes available:  Passive - This is the default fishing mode. As soon as you cast out your line, your character goes into Passive mode, and will automatically pull in fish until you are either out of bait or your inventory is full. This is great for farming equipment such as the Green fishing set. You cannot catch Orange fish in passive mode. Active - In this mode, you control your rod. To do this, once a fish takes your bait, click the fish icon in the circular window to start reeling. See the next Step for details on how to fish in Active mode. Active Mode is time-consuming and has a greater possibility of bandits appearing. Semi-Active - In this mode, you will control your rod whenever you desire. For instance, if your indicator shows that a weak fish caught your bait, you can leave it to passive. If the indicator tells you that you caught a powerful fish, you can take control to successfully catch it. This mode is still time-consuming, and bandits may still spawn. This is the only way to catch valuable Orange fish, so it pays to start practicing early. The goal is to keep the moving bar in the blue area to avoid damaging the durability of your rod. There are a few things to keep your eye on during Active fishing:  Target Durability - This is the fish's "health". When the bar empties, the fish is caught. Fishing Equipment Durability - This is your "health". When the...

If you don't plan to use your fresh mushrooms within a week or so, you'll want to freeze them to preserve them. Start by rinsing the mushrooms under water and then letting them dry in open air. You can spread them on a paper or tea towel to catch the excess water. Once the mushrooms are relatively dry, brush them with a paper towel or mushroom brush. This gets some of the more stubborn dirt off of them. Slice your mushrooms into even pieces before you sauté them. Using an egg slicer can give you uniform pieces. Sauté them in one to two tablespoons of olive oil with some salt and pepper to taste. Once you’ve finished cooking the mushrooms, let them cool before you freeze them. Spread them out on a cookie sheet in a single layer until they are cool to the touch. Once the mushrooms have cooled, store them in resealable plastic bags and freeze them. Cooking before freezing them prevents them from absorbing too much moisture when they defrost.

If you don't suffer from either SNHL or CHL, but simply want to improve your hearing then engage in regular cardiovascular exercise because it helps with blood circulation and fine tuning within the ear . Play music at relatively low volumes while having a conversation with a friend. Add a second source of music and then a third source while continuously focusing on the conversation. This will train your ears to filter out ambient sounds. Close your eyes and ask a friend to walk to a location of their choosing somewhere away from you, perhaps 6 metres (20 ft) away or more. Have your partner make two-second bursts of sound with a horn or bell and then point to where you think the sound came from. Have your friend change their direction and distance each time. Close your eyes and listen to all the different sounds in your environment. One by one, try to decipher individual sounds that you hear, both near and far away. The more you practice, the more sounds you will learn to recognize. Examples include CLIX (based on identifying differences between words), Forbrain (based on recognizing pertinent sounds in voices), and Category Carousel (based on associating sounds with images).

If you don't want to block your friend, you can prevent them from seeing specific posts by editing the "Who should see this?" settings in your status field. For mobile, tap the "Facebook" app to open Facebook. You'll find the status creation field at the top of your screen; it usually says something like "What's on your mind?". On mobile, you'll need to tap the status creation field to view its options. This will prompt a drop-down menu with options regarding who can see your status. The "Friends" option is below your name in the top left corner if you're on mobile. The "Custom" option can be used to filter out friends you don't want reading your statuses.  On mobile, tap "Friends except" here. If you're making a post in which you tag a user, consider unchecking the box next to "Friends of Tagged" to prevent your friend's friends from being able to see your post. You'll need to do this in the field beneath the "Don't share with" text; you can add as many people to this list as you please. On mobile, simply tap the circle to the left of each friend you wish to exclude from your status. This will reset your default sharing option to "Custom"; you can change it back to "Friends" at any time from within the same menu. For mobile, tap "Done" in the top right corner to save these changes.

If you don't want to draw your own image, you'll need to find one that you can use. Use tools like Google Image Search or Bing to find the perfect picture, or use an image you've taken yourself. Forum avatars are almost always quite small, so the subject of your avatar should be easily distinguishable when shrunk. Landscapes and other full-frame photos are ill-suited for avatars. Faces, figures, objects, drawings, and other easily-seen subjects make for much better avatars. You don't need anything fancy to create your avatar, unless you're planning on adding effects or text. Any image editing software will work, from Paint to Photoshop. Since you don't have much space to work with for avatars, crop out everything around the subject. There are several ways to do this depending on the program you are using, but there is one way that is universal across all programs:  Click the rectangular selection tool and select just the subject. Copy it to the clipboard and then open a new file in your image editor. Paste the copied piece so that only the subject is on your canvas. Different forums have different rules about the size of the avatar image. The range is typically between 50 X 50 px to 100 X 100 px. Most forums will inform you of the limits when you use the avatar upload function in your user profile.  Some forums may allow rectangular avatars instead of just squares. Some forums may allow very large avatars. Now that your subject is isolated and you know your avatar dimension limits, you can choose whether you want to scale your image down or crop out a piece that fits the dimensions. Different programs will have different ways to go about this, but generally there is a "Resize Image" option. In Paint there is a Resize button on the Home tab, and in Photoshop you can click Image → Image Size to change the scale.  Whether you choose to scale or crop depends entirely on the subject and size of the image. If the subject takes up the entire image, such as a picture of a car, then scaling will ensure that it is all...

If you don't want to use a liquid foundation, you should get a mineral powder instead of foundation. This gives lighter coverage than liquid, but it will also trap fewer bacteria in your skin and will allow your face to breathe. Alternatively, try a cream foundation, powder foundation, cream-to-powder foundation, or tinted moisturizer. Mineral makeup may be good for some, but others may find it too drying or quick to wear off. Getting the color right can be difficult if you have yellow undertones. This is simply a clear or very lightly tinted face powder that sets and gives a matte appearance to your face without the added coverage of a colored powder. There are a variety of setting powders available, from affordable drug store brands to more pricey, high-end products. This type of lip color is formulated to stay on your lips all day long, even when you eat and drink. Make sure to moisturize your lips properly before applying, as long-wear formulas are very drying.  There are a variety of long-wear lip products on the market, depending on the type of look you’re going for. Lip stains and long-wear lipsticks will last a long time, as will any type of lipstick with a matte finish. For even longer-lasting color, use a lipliner around your color. This helps the shape stay firm all day long. Applying this type of shadow over primer will keep your color in place all day long. Cream shadows tend to slip off a lot more easily. Apply the powder to the primer using an eyeshadow brush, and let it set. Water-resistant mascara works well to keep your eyes looking fresh all day. It won't budge if you happen to get wet or cry. Just make sure you don't sleep with it, as it will clump and make your lashes fall off.  Do not waste money on mascara primer. Mascara primer weighs down your eyelashes, making them look shorter. Unless it’s really urgent that you keep your mascara in place all day—such as for a special occasion like a wedding or a poolside photo shoot—opt for “water-resistant” mascaras over “waterproof” formulations....

If you don't want to use a whole trash can, you can use an empty bucket or an empty cat litter container, and make it a designated cat waste can. It's important that you remember to set up the trash receptacle close to the litter box, so that you don't risk scattering waste or litter across the floor. Some experts recommend wearing disposable gloves and a dust mask to prevent the spread of toxoplasmosis, a coccidial organism that some cats carry and transmit through fecal matter. Even if you don't directly handle the feces, cleaning the litter box can cause dust to fly in the air, which can irritate the lungs and may lead to transmission of toxoplasmosis. Cat feces should be scooped out at least once every day. Some experts even recommend scooping out solid wastes twice a day for a really clean box. If you let solid wastes build up in the litter box, your cat may refuse to use the litter box, even if the litter was only changed a few days ago. Use a special scooper, available at most pet stores. These scoopers have a grated bottom, so you can collect solid waste while the surrounding litter falls through the grates and back into the litter box. If you use clumping litter, your cat's urine should form solid clumps of litter. These should be scooped on a daily basis, just like feces. If you don't use clumping litter, sprinkle a layer of baking soda at the bottom of the litter box, before you pour in the litter. This can help absorb the odors from cat urine that might get missed during daily scooping. If you're scooping the box out on a daily basis, there's a chance you might have lost some of the litter, either because it stuck to your cat's waste or because it simply spilled out during cleaning or use. Topping off your cat's litter every few days can help keep the box clean and appealing to your cat.

If you don't, you won't be able to get into the Nintendo Club website. Registering on Nintendo Club's website will get you 100 points automatically, after completing your survey. Sometimes, a small piece of paper can be found behind the manual included with your game, asking you to register (and subsequently receive stars). It will only take a few minutes of your time and no vital information is requested. Each time you register a product, you should receive 150 stars. All you have to do is sign up and complete a  survey about your buying habits and circumstances. Now you're starting the process rolling. Get a pen and paper ready.  There, it'll offer you the chance to swap your stars for Wii Points. You must choose the amount you want to change (they are often "out of stock"). If you choose to do so, you will receive a 12-digit code separated by 4 dashes. Write it down somewhere! You don't want to risk forgetting. You already linked it to your Nintendo Club account, right?

If you don’t have a credit card, if you have a checking account, many banks and credit unions will give you a debit card. Most car rental agencies will accept a debit card instead of a credit card, but it can be a longer process.  Debit cards function almost like credit cards, except that the funds are debited (withdrawn) directly from your checking account, so you’re not really putting it “on credit.” That's why car rental companies that accept them will put you through additional hurdles to get the car. Check logo requirements. Some rental companies will let you use a debit card to rent a car, but they may require that the debt card has the right logos. Car companies often require Visa or MasterCard logos. Check with the rental agency.  Prepaid debit cards or those that aren’t linked to an actual bank account are sometimes not accepted by car rental companies. Don’t assume the company will accept the card just because it’s a debit card. To save time, you may want to bring extra identification. You might need it in order to use a debit card or other non credit card method. You should assume you will be asked to prove your identity other ways.  You might be asked to show proof of auto insurance, a plane ticket itinerary or a recent utility bill if you’re not paying with a credit card. Expect to be asked to produce more than one way to verify your identity. The name on the extra identification will need to match the name on your driver's license. You’re probably not going to get the best cars without a credit card. Most car rental companies probably won’t let you rent a luxury car or SUV. Many rental car companies, such as Dollar, accept debit cards but only after they perform a credit inquiry screening through a company like Equifax. If you have very poor credit, you might not get the car.  That means they are still going to check your credit score and report, and they won’t let you rent the car with a debit card if your credit score is very poor. They want to make sure they can recoup their costs if...

If you don’t have one, don’t worry! You can make one easily with a deep saucepan (for boiling the water) and a heat-safe bowl that fits snugly on top of the saucepan (to melt the chocolate). Choose a bowl that is shallower than the saucepan.  Once you’ve added water to the saucepan and placed the bowl over it, the bottom of the bowl should not be touching the water. Leave about an inch (2.5 cm) between the water and top bowl. The fit should be snug enough that no steam will be able to escape from beneath the bowl. Chopping them coarsely first will make them melt faster, but it’s not necessary. You can just unwrap the candies and drop them in the bowl, as is. Fill the bowl up about halfway. If you have more candy than that, work in batches. Set the bowl aside. There are 72 individually wrapped candies in a standard 12 ounce bag of Kisses. If you melt all of them, you'll end up with about 1.5 cups (350 ml) of melted chocolate. Double boilers use the steam produced by the hot water to melt the chocolate in the bowl. If you need to, go ahead and double check your water level by placing the bowl on top. Once everything looks good, remove the bowl and turn on the heat. When the bowl is in place over the saucepan, the water should come to just underneath it, but not touch it. Aim for about an inch (2.5 cm) of space between them. Heat the water until it begins to simmer; you don’t need to let it come to a full boil. You’ll know it’s simmering when tiny bubbles start to rise to the surface slowly. Once the water is simmering, turn off the heat. Carefully lower the bowl of chocolate into position over the saucepan of water. You may want to wear oven mitts or use pot holders as you do so, since the lip of the saucepan will be very hot. Make sure the bowl fits tightly and doesn’t allow any steam to escape. Once the bowl is in place, the Kisses will start to melt right away. Stir the chocolate continuously with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to keep it moving while it melts. Make sure your stirring utensil is completely...

If you don’t use filler first, you apply the dye or paint directly to the leather. This is enough to repair most cracks, but they may still be easy to spot. Filler is colorless, so it does a better job of permanently hiding bad cracks. For particularly deep or ugly cracks, add filler first so they don’t stand out as much. Smooth out the cracks to prepare them for the dye. Press the sandpaper or sanding pad down gently and rub along the leather’s grain. Make sure the leather feels smooth to the touch. Wipe up the dust with a clean microfiber cloth. Use the cloth to clear out any dust that falls into the cracks. Leftover dust prevents the leather from absorbing the coloring evenly. Leather dye comes in a variety of colors, so choose a bottle that matches your item. Then, pour a little bit of the dye on a sponge or applicator pad. Rub the cracks to spread the dye into them.  Leather dye is available online or at some craft and general stores. They are sometimes sold in kits that include sandpaper and applicator pads. Another way to color cracks is with spray paint and lacquer thinner. Get a matching color of spray paint safe for use on leather. Spray some of the paint on a cloth, then pour the lacquer on the cloth. Rub the cloth against the cracks to color them. Plug in the hairdryer and point it directly at the dyed areas. Move the heater back and forth across the cracks to prevent the leather from drying out. After you’re done, the layer of dye will be dry to the touch. If you don’t have a hairdryer, try an alternative heat source, such as a heat gun. Be careful, since heat guns can easily burn leather. Move the gun around to prevent any spots from overheating. Cracks generally require 2 to 5 treatments before they look repaired. Spread more of the dye over the leather. This time, dab some of the dye directly into the crack, then rub the area around the cracks to blend them together. Dry the dye each time with a hairdryer. Keep applying dye until the cracks are indistinguishable from the rest of the leather....

If you encounter a coyote at close range, the most important thing to do is to stand your ground. Running away may cause the coyote to see you as prey.  Try to make yourself appear taller. Stand up, and try to get on top of something like a stump, rock, or chair. If there are small children nearby, pick them up for safekeeping. Coyotes mostly prefer to keep to themselves. If you keep your distance from the animal, they will probably slink away all by themselves. If you go up to the animal, however, they might feel frightened and become aggressive to protect themselves. Shouting, clapping, and yelling also work to deter coyotes at close range. As soon as you see one, make some noise. Teach young children to shout “Go away, coyote!” if they see one. That way, if you’re not with them, but hear “coyote,” you’ll know what is happening and can come help them. Keep your distance, but show the coyote you are something they don’t want to mess with. Wave your arms around and stamp your feet. Throw things like rocks or sticks. Hold something like a broom, walking stick, or shovel. If coyotes are common in your area, you might also want to carry pepper spray as a deterrent.

If you enjoy physical activity or would like a reason to exercise, a sports team is an excellent way to get out the house. Furthermore, team sports encourage teamwork, discipline, and cooperation. If you excel at sports, you may even be able to earn a scholarship. If sports are not your thing, auditioning for a play or joining the drama club may be a good fit. If you have an outgoing personality, a part in the school play may be perfect for you. If you don’t see yourself onstage, there are also many behind-the-scenes roles (like stage crew or lighting design) that you might enjoy. If school really isn’t your thing, you probably aren’t going to want to spend more time there. Another option for getting out of the house is to secure some part-time employment. An after school job is wonderful for teaching you punctuality, responsibility, and time-management. Best of all, it can put some money in your pocket, which you can save up to enable you to move out when you become old enough. Maybe your life is stressful enough and you don’t want to create more work or take on additional responsibilities. That’s OK! Simply spend more time outside of the house hanging out with your friends. Go see a concert, visit a museum, or take a walk around the park. Time with friends can reduce stress and boost your mood while getting you out of the house. Another healthy way to spend time outside of your house is to visit your other family members. Do you have grandparents, cousins, or older siblings that live near-by? Take some time to go and visit them. You may want to discuss your problems with them, or maybe not. In any case, spending time with family is sure to lift your mood and help you cope.
