Like stocks, currency values change multiple times every day. As such, to find out how much your pesos are worth, you’ll need to look up the current currency conversion rate between the country your pesos are from and the national currency you’re converting them to.  You can look up conversion rates on websites like http://x-rates.com/ and http://xe.com/. Currency conversion rates are 6-digit numbers that contain 1 decimal point. For example, the current Chilean peso to Canadian dollar conversion rate may be 0.78866, 18.6855, or 2839.00. Economists list conversion rates in the format “COUNTRY 1/COUNTRY 2.” So, if you were searching for the Mexican pesos to US dollars conversion rate, you’d look for the initialism MXN/USD. To find out how many dollars your pesos are worth, multiply your total peso amount by the currency’s current conversion rate. Then, round the resulting number. For example: If you have 40 Mexican pesos and their conversion rate to US dollars is 0.05355, then you’d multiply 40 by 0.05355 to get 2.142. Once you have this number, round it down for a total of $2.14. In addition to a currency’s standard conversion rate, many websites offer a number known as an inverse conversion rate. If you multiply a specific dollar amount by this number, you can find out how many pesos it will take to get that amount via currency exchange. For example: If you want to get 75 Australian dollars and their inverse conversion rate to Philippine pesos is 40.8709, then you’d multiply 75 by 40.8709 to get 3065.317. After finding this number, round up for a total of ₱3065.32. Converting a single peso amount into dollars is fairly straightforward. However, if you’re making lots of conversions, consider using an online currency calculator. Doing so will make the entire process far quicker and simpler. You can find currency calculators on most conversion rate websites, as well as specialty calculator-only pages like https://coinmill.com/. Though converting your pesos into dollars will give you a solid estimate of how much...

LilyPad supports keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360, and 3rd party controllers for button inputs. Go to http://pcsx2.net/download.html and choose the installer for your platform. Upon launching the program you will be greeted with the first time setup. By default your system language is chosen. Press “Next” to proceed to the plugin configuration. PAD is the second menu in the list of plugins. This is located to the right of the PAD menu and will open a list of options for setting up the LilyPad plugin. This tab is located in the upper left part of the window and will take you to the button configuration page for the connected device. On the right, there will be a clickable button to set a binding for each button on a PS2 controller. For example, to change which button will be used to hit the “Triangle” button a PS2 controller, click “Triangle” The input will appear on the list of saved bindings to the left. Any keys that remain unbound will not function. The sensitivity slider is located in the “Configure Binding” section of the window. Moving the slider to the left will decrease sensitivity, to the right will increase.  Sensitivity can be adjusted for all buttons but it traditionally most effective on trigger or analog stick movements, where partial button presses will register. Similarly, you can use the “Dead Zone” slider to set a window where partially pressing the button will register no input. Select the “Turbo” checkbox in the “Configure Binding” section of the window to enable turbo. Turbo automates the rapid pressing of a button when it is held down. This is a good setting for games where buttons must be tapped repeatedly, but will interfere in situations where the button must be held down consistently. Select a binding from the list on the left and click this button below to remove that specific binding. You can also click “Clear All” to remove every binding. Keep in mind, this will remove ALL bindings that are set for this device, not just reset to the default. Select “Pad 2” and repeat the previous steps...

Limit your consumption of citrus fruits, sugary foods, and sour foods, which can send your salivary glands into overdrive. Do your best to steer clear of any other foods and odors, such as cooking smells or personal fragrances, that cause you to salivate.  Eating any food can stimulate salivation, but bland, dry foods such as crackers or toast might help absorb excess saliva and provide immediate relief. If someone nearby is cooking or eating and you can’t avoid them, try to distract yourself. Keep yourself busy with an activity, sing a song in your head, write a story, or chat on the phone. This can help to stop mild to moderate drooling, especially if you’re unable to control it. By keeping your mouth busy with something, you’ll be less likely to drool. Always keep some gum or candy on hand in case you need it.If you’re concerned about your sugar intake, opt for a sugarless gum or candy. When you’re salivating excessively, pour yourself a glass of grape juice. The tannic acid in dark grape juice can make your mouth feel dry and decrease saliva production.  Other beverages that contain tannic acid include green and black teas, coffee, and red wine. Keep in mind these drinking beverages can lead to tooth decay and staining. Be sure to floss once a day and brush your teeth at least twice a day. As a bonus, brushing could temporarily relieve excessive salivating. A cup of sage or ginger tea could help dry out overactive salivary glands. Chewing sage leaves or a piece of ginger root could do the trick, too. You could also drink a sage tincture once a day; add 15 to 20 drops of sage extract to a glass of water.  You can find sage tea bags at grocery stores, health stores, and online. Alternatively, steep 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon of dried sage in 1  c (240 mL) of hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. Some medical professionals recommend using sage and ginger to decrease salivation in patients with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and ALS. However, you should consult your doctor...

Line the first bin with 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) of substrate. Place your starter stock in the bin. Slice up an apple, a carrot, or a potato and place the slices on top of the substrate, to provide moisture for the mealworms. Put the lid on top of the bin. The mealworms will begin eating the substrate and reproducing. The mealworms may pull the food under the substrate to eat it, which is completely normal. The mealworms, which are the larvae of the darkling beetle, will need 10 or more weeks to go through their life cycle and reproduce to make new mealworms. They will change from larvae to pupae, then from pupae to mature beetles. The beetles will copulate and lay eggs in the substrate, which hatch 1 to 4 weeks later.  While you wait for this process to take place, check the bin every day and take care of the mealworms in the following ways:  Change out the cut vegetables if they appear to get moldy. Keep the temperature stable at 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C). Remove dead mealworms or beetles and discard them. Once the new larvae hatch from their eggs, you'll need to move all the pupae and beetles to the second container. If you keep them all in the same container, the beetles will feed on the larvae. When you move them to the second container, they'll lay eggs and continue the reproduction process. To move the beetles and pupae, do the following:  Prepare the second container by lining it with 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of substrate. Pick out the beetles and pupae by hand and place them in the new container. Use gloves if you want to. The beetles won't bite and rarely fly. Put a few slices of carrots or potatoes in the second container, then cover. Once the new larvae are big enough (before they become pupae) you may feed them to your pets. Remember that any mealworms left in the bin will mature and become pupae, then beetles. Continue moving pupae and beetles to the second container as they mature. You can store mealworms in the refrigerator to make them keep longer if you want to set some aside for feeding...

Line your pot or aquatic basket with a coarse fabric, such as hessian or burlap. Use a loam-based soil labeled for aquatic use, as standard potting soil is too fluffy and will float away when submerged. Add soil to the container until it’s 3/4 full, then add aquatic fertilizer. The right amount of fertilizer depends on your product, so read the instructions for the fertilizer you purchase. A typical ratio is 10 grams (about 1/3 oz) of fertilizer for 1 gallon (3.8 L) of soil. Gently pull the lily out of the old container and rinse away excess soil from its rhizome, or root system. Trim any old, fleshy roots with pruning shears, but leave white, hair-like roots intact. Trim away all old, fleshy roots. If you don't see any, you can skip trimming. Set the lily's root ball on top of the soil on the side of the container. Make sure the crown, or the part where the stems emerge, points at a 45 degree angle toward the center of the pot. If your lily hasn’t matured and has a growing tip instead of stems, position the growing tip at the same level as the top of the soil. Add more soil, but don’t completely fill the container. Leave about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) between the top of the soil and container’s rim. Lightly press the soil to pack it, then add a layer of pea gravel to help keep the soil from floating away.  Rinse the pea gravel thoroughly before you add it. Make sure you don’t pack the gravel tightly around the stems. If your lily isn’t mature, leave a space in the gravel for the plant’s growing tip, which should be level with the top of the soil. Soak the pot completely with a hose, then lower it into your pond or aquatic planter. For the first 3 to 4 weeks, submerge the pot so that 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) of water covers the crown and young leaves float on the water’s surface. If necessary, stack bricks or other supports to keep the pot at the right height.  Keeping the pot at a shallow height will encourage growth. When you submerge the container in water, lower it into the water at an angle so...

Lines of longitude are vertical lines that stretch across the globe, moving from the North to South Pole. The Prime Meridian divides lines of longitude. This is the zero degree mark. When writing out lines of longitude, use the symbol "°" to indicate degrees.  Lines of longitude stretch from east to west. Moving to the east, each line of longitude increases by one degree. You use the letter "E" to indicate a line of longitude that falls to the east of the Prime Meridian. For example, a line of longitude could be 30°E. Moving to the west, lines of longitude also increase by one degree per line. You write lines of longitude that fall to the west of the Prime Meridian using the symbol "W" to indicate west. For example, a line of longitude could be 15°W. Lines of latitude are horizontal lines dividing the globe. They stretch from east to west, starting at the equator. The equator's line of latitude is marked by 0 degrees. When writing latitude and longitude, use the symbol "°" to indicate degrees.  As you move north of the equator, lines of latitude increase by one degree until they reach 90 degrees. The 90 degree mark is the North Pole. Lines of latitude above the equator are marked using the letter "N" to mean North. For example, a line of latitude could be 15°N. As you move south of the equator, lines of latitude again increase by a single degree for each line until you reach the 90 degree mark. This is the South Pole. You use the symbol "S" to indicate south. For example, a line of latitude could be 30°S. Find a location and figure out where the lines of latitude and longitude connect. For example, a location could be found along the latitude line 15°N and the longitude line 30°E. When writing latitude and longitude, write latitude first, followed by a comma, and then longitude. For example, the above lines of latitude and longitude would be written as "15°N, 30°E."

Link-building is the process of creating links back to your site. This happens naturally with good content, but can also be helped along through a variety of methods. Back-links are important because they affect the rank that your site receives and where it appears in search results. Multiple factors are taken into account, including:  Trust - This is the level of trust between sites that are linked. Links on trustworthy sites will weigh much heavier. Link Neighborhood - This is the general level of the sites that link to you and you link to. For example, a spammy site will often link to other spammy sites, making the link neighborhood lower. Anchor text - This is the text that is displayed in place of the link address. The anchor text should be relevant to the content that is being linked to, as search engines compare this text with the destination it links to. Freshness - Since pages become less popular over time, link relevancy tends to decay. Fresh links are a sign that the content being linked to is still relevant, and helps boost rankings. Both usually have a place where you can add your website's link to your profile that you create, and to your profile's signature. Each time you post a comment in a forum your signature will be left with that comment for all to see, including search engines. In order to build a good network of links, you'll want to find sites that fit into your genre. Competition is not something that should be ignored or avoided. Instead, work with the other sites in your field and you will quickly find yourself growing. Article submission is a little more time consuming for link building techniques, but can also help increase your website's page rank if posted on the right sites. Start by writing several small articles concerning topics that have to do with the content on your website. You then submit these articles to websites that will post them for their viewers. Be sure to always add your website link in the source section of your article. That way web crawlers sent by search...

Lipstick is great for adding color to your lips, but some types can be very drying. If you like to wear lipstick, look for something that says "hydrating" on the label. Apply lip balm under your lipstick for even more hydration and smoothness.  Take a pass on the lip gloss, which tends to be drying. If you must use lip gloss, apply it over your lip balm.  Choose creamy lipstick over matte lipstick. Creamy lipstick is generally more moisturizing than matte lipstick, which tends to be drying. This includes things like lipstick, lip balm, and even toothpaste. When making the switch, go for something natural and without any synthetic flavorings; natural flavors are fine. There is a chance that you are allergic to one of your current lipsticks, balms, or toothpaste. You don't have to switch up everything—just the products that come in contact with your mouth. This usually happens during the wintertime, but it can also happen during the summer depending on where you live. Use a humidistat to measure the humidity in your home. If the reading falls below 45, get a humidifier. You don't have to leave it on all the time; you can leave it on at night and turn it off during the day. There could be something that you are allergic to that you are not aware of. If the corners of your lips are also cracked, you may have a type of yeast infection. Another culprit might be a prescription medication for acne, high blood pressure, or nausea; they often have chapped lips as a side effect.  Do not discontinue your prescriptions without consulting your doctor first. Dry lips may also be an indicator of a vitamin deficiency.

Liquids are the easiest to spill and leak, so it’s best to avoid them when you can. For example, instead of a liquid eye makeup remover, pack makeup wipes instead. You can also find solid shampoo bars to pack instead of a liquid formula. Even if you’re not traveling by plane, it’s a good idea to put liquid items in a plastic bag. That way, if a leak or spill occurs, it’s contained inside the bag and won’t get all over the rest of your luggage. When your luggage is jiggled around in a plane, car, or train, it’s not uncommon for the caps on toiletry bottles to come loose, causing products to leak all over your bag. Secure the caps with a piece of masking tape to help prevent leaks from happening. If you’re concerned about toiletry bottles breaking inside your luggage, it helps to give them some cushioning. Surround fragile containers with cotton balls or pads to protect them for breaking. The cotton balls and pads may even come in handy on your trip. Items in the zippered outer pockets are more vulnerable to damage if your bag gets banged around during travel. This means toiletry bottles can get broken or squeezed, leading to spills inside your bag. Place toiletries in the center of your bag, and surround them with soft clothing.

Listen for increasing sounds and babbling as they grow. Children usually become fully verbal by 16 to 24 months of age.   A typical baby will be able to share sounds back-and-forth with you like sharing a conversation by nine months of age. An autistic baby may not be verbal at all or may have been verbal but then lost the skill. A typical child will be babbling by about 12 months of age. Talk together about your child’s favourite toy and listen to their sentence structure and conversation skills. Typically developing children will have many words by 16 months of age, can create their own meaningful, two-word phrases by 24 months of age, and have coherent sentences by age five.  An autistic child tends to misplace words in sentence structure or simply repeat others’ phrases or sentences, called parroting or echolalia. They might mix up pronouns, saying "Do you want pancakes?" when they are trying to say that they want pancakes.  Some autistic children pass over the “kid-speak” phase and have superior language skills. They may learn to speak early, and/or grow large vocabularies. They may converse differently than their peers do. Determine if your child takes phrases literally. An autistic child tends to misinterpret body language, tone of voice, and expressions.  If you have a moment of sarcastic frustration and claim, “How wonderful!” when you find your autistic child has used his red marker all over the living room walls, they may think you literally mean their art is wonderful. Autistic children often have unique nonverbal communication. Because most people are used to watching non-autistic body language, this may be confusing to you and others at times.

Listen to a wide variety of other radio shows of the type that you’re interested in, whether it’s a talk show, documentary style, or music program. Take notice of the elements that other shows have to help guide what you want to do.  Pay attention to the things that another radio show does that keep you engaged and listening. Does the host give fun facts about the music they’re going to play or just played? Are the interviews interesting and easy to follow? Try emulating these elements in your own show. Also take note of the things in a show that make it drag or make you dislike it. Are there too many pauses? Is the host’s voice too monotone or too fast? Think of how you can avoid these things in your own radio show. Think about and write down all the basic information about the radio show you want to create. Decide on the following key elements of your show:  Name: Consider carefully the name you choose for your show, as it is the only thing that will stay the same in your broadcast. Objective: What do want to accomplish with your show? Is it to inform (informational programs, documentaries), to entertain (musical shows, radio theatre), to do a public service (interviews, reviews, special programs), etc.? Theme: What will you talk about? Decide on a theme or category for the type of content you produce.  Schedule: Decide on a length of time for each broadcast, how often it will air, and for how many weeks or months. Of course, this will be decided by a radio station if you broadcast through one. Audience: Who’s listening? Consider what age group, location, and other demographic categories you are hoping to have as key listeners. Show elements: What are the features of your broadcast? Are there interviews? Music? Live callers? Special guests? Advertising: If you need or want advertising to support your radio show, you’ll need to seek out sponsors, record advertisements, and decide how and when they’ll be placed within your show.

Listen to an audiobook as you drive or do chores around the house, or close your eyes and let it lull you to sleep. Though you don’t get the feeling of holding the book and moving your eyes down the page, an audiobook is a great option for busy readers who like to squeeze in their book-time wherever they can get it. E-readers are perfect for the traveling book lover; you can store an entire library in a tablet that fits in the palm of your hand and buy books easily while on-the-go. They’re also more accessible to visually-impaired readers, thanks to the multiple letter size and line-spacing options available. E-books are also typically cheaper than paperback or hardback copies, though some readers may prefer the human touch of holding a physical book and turning the pages. Buy non-light-emitting e-reader to prevent strain or fatigue on your eyes. Another great option for a reader on-the-go, reading apps such as iBooks or the Amazon Kindle app are often free (although you’ll have to buy the books themselves, of course!). These are excellent options if you’re unexpectedly stuck somewhere and didn’t bring along a book or e-reader, or don’t have room to tote along a book while you’re commuting or running errands.

Listen to music with a strong beat that has an attitude that you like while you are practicing strutting with your heels on. Try to concentrate on the attitude that you want to project, and sustain that look for as long as you can while walking. If you can put a rhythm and attitude in your step, your walk will come to life and exude a fantastic supermodel energy.  Think flirty and confident as you step to a rhythm. When you are on the catwalk, imagine the music that puts you in your groove and follow that groove. While you are stepping to the beat, remember to keep your shoulders back and body composed in the posture of a supermodel. Once you get to the end of the walk, wait a beat, and then lean onto one hip with all of your confidence and poise. You can look down at the audience now and break your focus for a moment. You don't have to move your head much- your look should come mostly from the eyes. Then compose yourself in the same facial expression and walk as before, and walk off stage. Practice your pose in the mirror. Be especially aware of how long you break to pose and make eye contact with your audience. When you are in front of an audience your nervousness can make a few seconds seem much longer. Get used to holding your pose for a couple of seconds in the mirror so that you have muscle memory to rely on in front of the audience. There are a few signature supermodel walks and Karlie Kloss' has one that is famous for its predator like style .

Listening to music can be a fun way to learn a new language. Songs you enjoy may be available in another language; this will make it easier for you to recognize words if you know the lyrics by heart. You can also choose songs you’ve never heard and print out the lyrics, then translate them. Identify a topic that you regularly read about (e.g., technology news) and read about it in the other language. Find online newspaper sections or blogs that cover that topic in the language you're learning. Try reading about the topic only in the target language. BBC World Service is a great place to start for foreign language broadcasts. You can also tune into many TV stations and watch news stories and shows produced in another language. This can be a lot more fun than simply reading grammar texts. You could select the option for a voiceover in another language, while also selecting subtitles in your native language. Watch the movie or show to read the words in your language while hearing them in another. Conversely, listen in your native language while reading foreign subtitles. After a while, try to watch the movie or show in the foreign language with no subtitles. The huge advantage over internet radio is that they're downloadable. You can listen to the same show repeatedly until you feel you understand it. Don't be afraid to specialize, especially once you've got the basic vocabulary and grammar down — if you're into technology, for example, listening to tech-podcasts is a good place to start as many technology-related words and names are adapted from English. Many online and app games allow for language changes to the most commonly used languages. If this is the case for your game, switch to the language you're learning. Since you're already familiar with the game, you’ll be playing some of it intuitively. You will also see the new words regularly and in some cases, be forced to work out what is being said in order to advance through the game. This can help you correct mistakes you are making as well as learn new...

Litter pans/trays/boxes designed for rabbits have a raised back (to prevent litter flying everywhere when they scrape) and a low front (to make it easier for the rabbit to hop in). You may want to purchase several pans or trays so that you can eventually disperse them around the house and easily swap them out when cleaning and disinfecting the litter pans. You don't have to use a special rabbit tray. A regular cat litter tray with lower sides is fine, or even a shallow cardboard box (but be prepared to replace it regularly as it will get chewed). Use it to line the bottom of the tray, which will make it easier to clean the pan out. Most newspapers now use soy-based ink, which is not toxic for rabbits, but always check before using it. Newspaper ink can also rub off onto your rabbit's coat, turning it black or gray. Choose a rabbit-safe product, such as paper-based litter or untreated aspen chips. Don't use pine or cedar chips, since these are treated with oils that can irritate a rabbit's lungs. Do not use clay based cat litters or clumping cat litters. If the rabbit eats them, these litters could cause a bowel blockage. The cage should be three to six times the length of the rabbit. The first step of training is to restrict your rabbit to a cage with food, water and a hide in one half, and the litter tray in the other. The restricted space encourages your rabbit to not soil her living area, and toilet in the tray. Use hay to attract the rabbit to the litter box. Rabbits frequently like to munch on a snack while toileting, so this will encourage her to use the space. You will scoop out litter soiled with urine on a daily basis.

Live traps are relatively large wire contraptions and, as the name suggests, a live trap will keep the rat enclosed in the wire cage without killing it. Bait the live trap with a piece of cheese or other pungent-smelling food, and wait for the rat to enter. Once the rat is inside, it'll step on a spring-loaded plate which causes a trap door to snap shut behind it. You should be able to purchase a live trap at your local hardware store or a home-supply store. Since the purpose of using a live trap is to prevent the rat from dying, make sure to check the traps daily to prevent the animals from dying of dehydration. Be aware that you may find the trap contains more than a single rat, as a number of them can be trapped at once. For an extra measure of safety, wear a pair of gloves when picking up and handling the traps when a rat is inside. Rats can carry disease, and gloves will provide an extra layer of protection. When releasing the rat from the live trap, put the trap in your car and drive at least 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away from your house or apartment. If you release the rat within this distance, the rat may find its way back to your home and crawl right back inside. Keep in mind that releasing the rat 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away may result in its death by natural causes. Rats released more than 100 yards (91 m) from their homes are often disoriented and eaten by predators.

Lizards are cold-blooded, so they love bright, warm environments. Turning off the lights when you leave a room can make that area less hospitable. Additionally, try keeping the temperature in your home under 70 °F (21 °C). Most house lizards, such as anoles and geckos, thrive in temperatures between 75 and 95 °F (24 and 35 °C). While there’s no scientific evidence to back it up, some people use mothballs to repel lizards. Try keeping bags or open containers of mothballs by doors, windows, and other points of entry. Again, while there’s no scientific evidence, peacock feathers might help keep lizards out of your home. Lizards could be scared by the big eye designs or think that feathers indicate a nearby predator. Peacock feathers are aesthetically pleasing, too. Try placing a jar or bottle filled with feathers by your exterior doors. Some people claim that lizards are afraid of eggshells. The sight and smell of egg shells could make a lizard think that a bird or other predator is nearby. Cats are great for deterring lizards, rodents, and other pests. However, keep in mind that cats like to play with their food and often give prey to their owners as presents. Getting rid of a live lizard might be less disgusting than dealing with one that your cat got to first.

Local products travel a shorter distance to get to your plate, so they will be fresher by the time you eat them. Also, they use less fuel and handling to get from the farm to your plate. Meat production uses tremendous amounts of water, so do your part by lessening the demand for meat. Meatless Monday is a national non-profit public health campaign working with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health that encourages people to give up meat one day a week to lower their risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.

Locate a clean Tupperware container large enough to fit a good portion of your cake pops. You can store your cake pops in multiple containers, if you'd like. Place a paper towel in the bottom of your container. This helps absorb excess moisture and protect your cake pops while they are in the fridge. Place your cake pops side by side so they face the same direction. You can leave about 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm) in between each pop.  Be sure to place the cake pops down gently so you don’t damage them. Alternatively, if you are storing individually-wrapped cake pops, simply place them inside the container while inside their plastic wrapping. Once you make 1 layer of cake pops facing 1 direction, flip them the opposite way and make a second layer. You can lay your cake pop directly on top of the stick from the first layer. This way, you can fit more cake pops in your container. This way, you can fit as many cake pops in your container as you can. Once you place all your cake pops in your container, drape 1 sheet of paper towel over top all of the pops. This adds a final layer of protection, and it also absorbs any remaining moisture from the container. Put your cake pops on a shelf towards the top of your fridge, and make sure there are no wet spots. When storing cake pops, you want to avoid any excess moisture. Ensure your cake pops will not be touched or bumped so they stay in their proper form.  Extra moisture can cause condensation, which can ruin your cake pops’ appearance and make them soggy. Your cake pops will stay fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks to 1 month. When you are ready to eat your refrigerated cake pops, simply remove them from the fridge and place them on a plate. Leave them out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. If they are still too cold to eat, let them sit for an additional 30 minutes. Your cake pops are ready to eat when the outer coating reaches room temperature.

Locate a piece of string or twine that is about 25 inches (64 cm) long. Place 1 end of the string in the middle of your forehead, and wrap it around your head. You want the string to rest about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) above your ears, right where you’d like the hat to sit on your forehead. This can also be done with a sewing tape measure. Grab the place where the string meets back up with the center of your forehead (and the other end of the string) with your thumb and forefinger. Remove the string from your head without losing this spot. You may want to cut the string at this location to make measuring easier. Lay the string down flat without losing your spot. Use a ruler to determine the length of the string (and size of your head.) Write down this measurement so you won't forget.  Your measurement needs to be accurate down to 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm). If you used a sewing tape measure, you can skip this step. Many hats are sized generally (small, medium, large). Some hats will have more specific sizes ranging from 6 ¾ to 8+. Reference a size chart to determine your hat size based on your measurement. Here are some guidelines:  21.125–21.5 inches (53.66–54.61 cm) = Small or sizes 6 ¾ - 6 ⅞. 21.875–22.25 inches (55.56–56.52 cm) = Medium or sizes 7 - 7 ⅛. 22.625–23 inches (57.47–58.42 cm) = Large or sizes 7 ¼ - 7 ⅜. 23.5–23.875 inches (59.69–60.64 cm) = X-Large or sizes 7 ½ - 7 ⅝. 24.25–24.625 inches (61.60–62.55 cm) = XX-Large or sizes 7 ¾ - 7 ⅞. 25–25.375 inches (63.50–64.45 cm) = XXX-Large or sizes 8 - 8+.

Locate nuts with a cracked outer husk—separate these for dehusking. Any that are whole need to be dried. Older nuts are brown and younger are green. However, it's more efficient to separate based on cracks. Air-drying your nuts in the shade (either indoors or outside away from direct sunlight) reduces their moisture content and prevents them from turning rancid. Always dry your nuts as soon as possible after harvesting them or when they fall to the ground. For cracked nuts, skip the drying process and dehusk them as soon as possible. Nut husks hold moisture, which is why dehusking is a high priority. Place all of your uncracked nuts onto a cloth, and then layer another cloth on top. Leave them there for 1 to 2 weeks, and check up on them intermittently. The cloth layers absorb moisture from the inner nuts and shrink them so that they don't stick to the husk. This makes for easier removal. Before putting your nuts in the oven, place them in a shallow pan and gently stir them around occasionally to make sure they're evenly dried. If they are drying properly, you can hear the nuts shake in their husk when you rattle them. Heat the nuts for approximately 12 hours. Afterwards, crack a few open—brittle husks that crack easily (and cleanly) are sufficiently dry.  Keep an eye out for signs of cooking—which can damage the nuts—such as smoke. A second dry is standard practice at warehouses that commercially prepare macadamia nuts. Once your whole nuts are completely dry, skip to 3.2.

Locate the beginning of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS complex. This is called the PR interval. Normal duration is between 0.12 to 0.20 seconds, which is three to five small horizontal boxes. This amount of time should be pretty consistent across the entire strip. If there is a varied amount of time (boxes) between beats, it can indicate an irregular heartbeat. This is only something to worry about if your doctor says so. It can be completely harmless. You may have a regular or irregular heart rhythm. If your rhythm is irregular, it may be regularly or irregularly. To determine the rhythm, check if the intervals are the same length. Mark a few of your R-R intervals on a separate sheet of paper. Use that sheet of paper to move along the rhythm strip to see if the intervals are all the same lengths. A regularly irregular rhythm has a pattern to the irregular rhythm. An irregularly irregular rhythm has no pattern at all and is all over the place. You can use the following formula to calculate your heart rate. Count the number of squares between the two peaks (the R waves). Take 300 and divide it by the number of boxes between the 2 peaks. In this diagram, it's 3 boxes, so 300 divided by 3 = 100 BPM.  If you counted 4 big boxes between peaks, you have a heart rate of 75 beats per minute (300/4) = 75. This is only used for regular heart beats. If the peaks aren’t regular and there are different amounts of boxes between them, the heartbeat is irregular. Count the number of spikes that are in a 6-second readout and multiply the number by 10 to get an approximate rate. For example, if there are 7 R waves in a 6 second strip, the heart rate is 70 (7x10=70). Alternately, you can count the complexes on the rhythm strip, which represents 10 seconds. Multiply that number by 6 to find the 60 second heart rate. Though everyone’s normal EKG readout can vary, there are some irregularities that your doctor may investigate further. Your doctor will look at your EKG results, combined with your symptoms, and start to...

Locate the elements in the chemical formula on a periodic table to find their atomic masses, which is the same as their molar masses. Write down the molar mass of each element, and multiply them by the number of that element in the compound. Add all of the molar masses together to find the total molar mass.  For example, if you need to find the molar mass of H2SO4, find the molar masses of hydrogen (1 g), sulfur (32 g), and oxygen (16 g). Multiply the mass by the amount of the element in the compound. In this example, there are 2 hydrogen and 4 oxygen atoms. The total molar mass of hydrogen is 2 x 1 g = 2 g. The molar mass of oxygen in this compound is 4 x 16 g = 64 g. Add all the molar masses together. In this example, 2 g + 32 g + 64 g = 98 g/mol. If you already know the molarity of the solution you’re measuring, then you can skip to step 4. Find the actual mass of the compound either listed on the solution or in the problem you’re solving. Then, divide the mass of the compound by the total molar mass you found before. The result will be the number of moles you have of the compound labeled “mol.”  For example, if you’re trying to find the normality of 100 g of H2SO4 dissolved in 12 L, take the actual mass divided by the molar mass to get: 100 g ÷ 98 g/mol = 1.02 mol. A mole is equivalent to 6.02 x 1023 atoms or molecules of the compound. Use the number of moles you just found for the compound, and divide it by the total volume of the solution you’re measuring. The result will give you the molarity (M), which is another way to measure the concentration of a solution. In this example, 1.02 mol ÷ 12 L = 0.085 M. Look at the chemical formula for the number of hydrogen atoms (H) in an acid or hydroxide molecules (OH) in a base. Find the product of the molarity times the number of hydrogen or hydroxide molecules in the compound in order to find the normality. Label your answer with an “N” when you’re finished.  In this example, H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen atoms. So 0.085 M x 2 = 0.17 N. In another example, a 2 M...

Locate the gas tank, which is in the basement or lowest floor of your home. The pilot light is controlled by a small box with black, red, or white dials. It will also have a metal pipe running into it, carrying the gas supply. The control dial on the gas valve will be labeled. Spin it to the “Pilot” setting. Press the reset button on top of the box to turn on the pilot light. Hold the reset button between 30 to 60 seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The pilot light should stay on after the reset. If it goes out, this is a sign that the thermocouple has failed. You can replace it right away or remove it to perform a more accurate test. To double-check that the thermocouple is at fault, look at the dial to locate a position labeled “Off.” Spin the dial to shut off the gas supply. If this isn’t possible, follow the metal pipe leading into the pilot light controls. It will have a small valve on top of it. Turn the valve counterclockwise to stop the flow of gas. With the gas flow shut off, the pilot light has to fade. If the flame is still there after 20 seconds, the gas supply isn’t off. Adjust the dial and valve to try again. The clicking comes from the spot where the gas supply pipe meets the gas valve box. If you hear clicking before the 20 seconds are up, it’s a sign that your system needs repairs. Both the thermocouple and gas valve may be bad. Call a professional. Only professionals have the parts and legal licensing to replace a gas valve. They will replace the thermocouple when they do this.

Locate the label on your pants, usually in the middle back of the waistline, and read it carefully. A label that gives machine washing instructions will generally do well with a gentle wash and dry cycle. If the label states “Dry Clean Only” or “Not Washable,” then you may want to consider taking it to a dry cleaner or leather specialist. If your pants do not have a label, or if you’ve cut it off, and you know the manufacturer, then you may be able to contact them directly for cleaning advice. Go to the manufacturer’s website and look for customer information or help contact information. Before you expose your pants to any cleaning process, it is a good idea to apply a damp cloth to a small, less noticeable part of your pants. Then, wait to see if you notice any discoloration, fading, or wrinkling. This will let you know how well your pants will tolerate being wetted down via steaming or in a washing machine. If your pants do wrinkle or stain in the test area, it would be a good idea to take them to a leather specialist for cleaning. Turn your pants inside out and place them directly into the washing machine. Add a small amount of color-safe liquid detergent and nothing else. Choose the “delicate” washing cycle and set the water temperature to cold. If you can choose the spin speed, set it to the slowest setting. For extra protection, place your pants into a garment bag and then toss this bag into the washing machine. The bag will help to minimize the wear on your garment from the washing machine’s agitations. If you aren’t comfortable using the washing machine, then set your pants out on a towel. Get a damp microfiber cloth and gently run it over the surface of pants. It is best if you use warm, not hot, water. Resist the urge to scrub and keep your movements light. Get a clothing steam machine and adjust the setting to gentle. When the machine is ready, pass the wand lightly on top of the pants. It should make them damp, but not wet. Repeat until you see fewer signs of wear. This is another gentle...

Locate the leech’s oral sucker on the anterior (thinner end). Place your finger or fingernail on the skin next to this, and gently slide it underneath. Push to the side to detach the leech. Repeat this step at the posterior end sucker, then flick the leech off of your body.  Push the leech away as you detach it, because it will try to reattach itself to your body. Make sure to start with the thinner, anterior end, which is actually the leech’s “head.”  Dispose of the leech away from the water after you have detached it. You can pour salt on the leech to ensure it is killed, but do this only after you have safely removed it. Once the leech has had enough blood, it should fall off on its own, typically after about twenty minutes. If you cannot remove the leech safely, you may have to leave it and wait until it stops feeding. While this can be unsettling, the leech should not cause you any pain or serious injury. Dispose of the leech after it falls off. You can pour salt on the leech to ensure it is killed, but do this only after it detaches itself from your body. Leeches have anticoagulant enzymes that cause blood to flow freely. If the bite area continues to bleed after you remove the leech (or after it falls off), apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze until the bleeding stops. Leeches can leave a small wound where they were attached to your body. Clean this wound using warm water and a mild soap. Afterwards, apply an over-the-counter antibacterial cream and bandage. In the event that the wound becomes infected, see a doctor. Leeches are very flexible and difficult to grasp, and even if you are successful at grabbing one and pulling it off your body, this may make things worse. In ripping it away, parts of the leech’s jaws may remain in your body, which can cause an infection. Many traditional remedies for removing leeches involve putting a match or flame to the leech’s body, or pouring salt, alcohol, vinegar, or other things on the leech. While this will likely cause the leech to detach itself...

Lock away harmful liquids and chemicals, such as medicine and cleaning supplies, and make sure your cabinets are secured with childproof locks. Simple push down brackets can be screwed into cabinets and connected to the door to make cabinets nearly impossible for a baby to open but not be too inconvenient for adults. Other popular locks use magnets to connect cabinet doors and can be disabled when the baby is not around. Visit your local super center or baby supply store for a selection of baby locks. Take extra precautions in the kitchen by moving dangerous kitchen utensils, such as knives and heavy dishes, to higher cabinets where they can't be reached by a mobile toddler. Protect against a hot stove and oven by installing stove knob covers that stop children from accidentally turning on the stove. Most models simply pop on to cover the knobs and can be removed for adult use by opening the hinged front. Oven locks are also simple to install via an adhesive strip that connects the top of the oven to the oven door, making it nearly impossible for a curious child to open the oven door.

Lodging is a big expense on a vacation, so think about what you really need to still have an awesome time. Are you going alone, with your family, a group of people? Do you want to be close to the attractions and not rent a car? What types of amenities do you want? How much money have you budgeted for lodging? While chain hotels are the traditional way to go, there are other options, especially if you want to cut corners. Here are some examples and sites to visit for each.  House-swapping with another family or individual (HomeExchange.com); staying for mere pennies in one of over 50,000 hostels around the world (Hostelz.com); renting a condo, apartment or home with all the amenities to share with your family or a group (HomeAway.com); going to a Bed & Breakfast with home-cooked meals and a local's scoop on the area (BedandBreakfast.com); camping, which itself might be the vacation; or staying with a friend or family member.  Finally, staying at a resort hotel is often the best option for certain vacations beyond the traditional “island resort” vacation, even if it's not cheaper. Sometimes, for instance, staying at one of the hotels at Disney World, right on the tram, just makes sense. If you’ve decided to stay at a chain hotel, the best way to start is to a) know that booking in advance will save you money, b) explore within your 2-week time frame and c) begin your comparison searching on either TripAdvisor.com or Hotel.com. TripAdvisor doesn’t sell rooms or offer deals, but instead finds rooms based upon criteria you select, such as your budget, parking preferences, if there are free breakfasts and Wi-Fi, if you want to be downtown, etc. It also provides reviews of guests’ experiences. Hotels.com, on the other hand, books rooms by linking with chains and travel sites.  Remember: As with all online reviews, there will be fakes so watch out for the extreme reviews. Hotels.com has a Welcome Rewards program where you get a free night for every 10 nights you book. Consider staying in a suburb or the town next...

Loneliness can trigger feelings of abandonment, forlornness, or isolation. Recognize when these emotions are triggered, and remember that having a feeling doesn’t necessarily make it fact. You are not bound to feeling lonely. Feelings can change quickly based on circumstances and attitudes. You may feel lonely one moment, then realize that you’d rather be by yourself than be with friends, or you may receive a phone call from a friend, relieving loneliness. Don’t ignore your feelings; they can be important signals on what is going well or poorly in your life. As with all feelings, allow yourself to feel loneliness. Pay attention to how you feel when loneliness creeps up. Your body may feel heavy, or you may have an urge to cry. Allow yourself to feel the physical and emotional associations, and allow yourself to cry. Don’t instinctively run from loneliness. Many people choose to distract themselves from loneliness by turning to tv, work, projects, or other activities to avoid feeling the pain of loneliness. Instead, stay aware of your feelings (and the ways you cope) and determine to honor your body and emotions. When the thoughts “I’m lonely” or “I feel all alone” come across your mind, chances are you have a negative association with these feelings. It’s easy to spiral into negative thoughts from here: questioning your self-worth, feeling somehow less valuable or feeling emotionally or physically drained. Before heading down this rabbit hole, consider changing your attitude. Instead of labelling your experience as “lonely”, adopt the mindset of having solitude. Embrace having the opportunity to experience solitude as peaceful and restorative. When you learn to cherish your solitude you'll be able to handle the times when it’s just you.  Use your time to get to know yourself better: start a journal, meditate, and read books that interest you. Sometimes having more alone time is inevitable, such as when moving to a new city or country. Embrace the moments you have to experience solitude, and know that they...

Long-term champagne storage solutions demand a temperature of around 55 °F (13 °C). However, most temperatures that are above freezing and below room temperature will work fine for short-term storage. If you’d like, you can use your refrigerator as a short-term storage container. However, do not store your bottles in a freezer under any circumstance. Sun rays can alter your champagne’s internal temperature, changing the drink’s chemical makeup in unpleasant ways. To avoid this, place your champagne bottles in a shaded area with little to no direct sunlight or, if possible, a completely enclosed storage container with no light exposure whatsoever. If you can’t find a shaded area, cover your bottles with thin, dark-colored fabric. To preserve your champagne’s bubbly texture, keep your bottles on a solid surface where they’ll experience as little motion and vibration as possible. For short-term storage, you can either place the bottles upright or lay them on their sides. After opening a bottle of champagne, you can keep it for between 3 and 5 days by resealing it with a hinged bubble stopper or champagne sealer. When left unopened, your bottles should last for around 1 month. If you want to keep your bottles for longer, consider investing in a champagne storage room.

Look around before opening any door to ensure your cat is not nearby, or at the very least, is preoccupied in playing with a toy.  If you need to open a window, ensure it has a screen secured over it. If possible, secure the space in which the door leading outside is situated.  For instance, if your foyer has an inner door (leading into the home) and an outer door (leading outside), close the inner door and ensure your cat is not in the foyer with you before opening the outer door to leave.  When opening windows that do not have window screens, first check the room to ensure the cat is not there, then close the door to the room in which you’re opening the window.  If you don’t have a foyer, put the cat in a different room before leaving. If your windows can open from the bottom as well as the top, only open them from the top. This ensures that our cat cannot reach the open part of the window. If you have a pet door in your house that you’re worried your cat might escape through, swap it out for an electronic pet door instead.  This will allow you to lock the pet door during certain times and open it during other times.  Some electronic pet doors allow you to equip one pet with an electronic signal key that will open the door for it, but not for the cat you want to keep indoors.  Talk to a specialist at your local pet store for more information about your options. Watch your cat to make sure they do not wait for the pet with access to go through, then follow them out. Pet proofing sprays are motion-activated devices that emit an irritating but harmless liquid spray on your pet when it approaches an area you don’t want it near.  To keep a cat indoors, place a pet proofing spray near windows and doors that you anticipate your cat might escape through.  The exact method for using a pet proofing spray will vary according to the device you choose to utilize.  Consult manufacturer directions before use. Generally, setting up a pet proofing spray unit is as easy as popping in a few batteries and turning the device...

Look at how you ideally want to behave, based on the values you have identified, and how you currently behave and take steps to change your behavior to align your life more closely to what you believe living with integrity involves.  You can do this by actively seeking out opportunities to show your integrity, and also by trying to prioritize integrity change in your life and being aware of opportunities to behave how you want to in circumstances that happen upon you. For example, say you want to be a more generous person. Do not sit around waiting for opportunities to be generous. The things you want in life may pass you by if you do not make active attempts to seek them out. You could, right now, research a worthy charitable organization and offer some of your time or money. You could go outside and give a few dollars to a homeless person for a warm meal, or you could pay it forward and pay for the person's movie ticket behind you. Tell yourself that you can make decisions that you want to make. They may be difficult and you may stumble, but you will also have more control over your behavior if you believe in yourself and believe that you can change and improve yourself.  To believe yourself, think about past successes that you have had. This will provide concrete evidence to you that you can succeed in being the kind of person you want to be, as you have done so in the past. Also think about how you have changed for the better in some way and use that information to remind yourself that you can change in the future, too. Integrity and self-worth go hand in hand. Going against your integrity can damage your sense of self-worth, and having high self-worth can make you feel like you can live up to challenges and live with integrity by doing the difficult thing.   There are a number of ways to improve your self-esteem. Start by setting realistic expectations for yourself and allowing yourself to fall short sometimes. If you set your expectations for yourself too high, you will always fall short of the mark,...

Look at the back of the router, and ensure that all cables are properly secured. Trace them back until you reach the wall socket. Check for any broken or faulty cables. If there are disconnected cables, secure and reconnect them.  Observe the lights on the router to determine if connections are being made. Find out if doing the previous steps has resulted in a restored connection. If all the cables are properly connected, there’s no problem with your own wiring. The problem may be outside your own home or with the service provider.

Look at the face of your car’s head unit and check if there’s a 3.5 mm audio port, similar to the headphone port your iPhone has. Car stereos have built-in auxiliary ports to support MP3 players, smartphones, and other music playing devices. Check your car stereo’s manual if you can’t find or are unsure whether the head unit has an auxiliary port. An audio auxiliary cable is a type of cord connector that has an audio jack on each end that lets you connect any music-playing gadget to any electronic device that has an auxiliary port. You can buy it from any electronic store for around $2 to $5 US dollars. Plug one end of the audio auxiliary cable to the headphone port of your iPhone. Take the other end of the cable and plug it to the auxiliary port on the car stereo. Press the menu button on your car stereo and set it to auxiliary (AUX) mode. This will allow your car stereo to receive any information coming from your iPhone. Check your car stereo’s manual if you do not know how to set your specific car stereo to auxiliary mode. Open your iPhone’s music app to start playing your music on your car’s entertainment system. If you place or receive a call, your car speakers will act as your iPhone speaker and hear the voice of the person you’re talking to.

Look at the side of the box to see what the shade will look like based on your current hair color. Black will almost always turn out black, regardless of your natural hair color, but other shades may not turn out what's on the box. This method is also known as "reverse ombre." Instead of bleaching your ends lighter, you are dyeing your roots darker. Each brand will be a little different. In most cases, you will need to empty the dye into the bottle of developer, close the bottle, then shake it. Some kits also contain a tube of conditioner--set this tube aside for later. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to part your hair down the center. Apply the dye to one side of the part. You can do this with a special applicator brush, or you can apply the dye straight from the bottle.  If you used an applicator brush, lightly feather the dye down your hair as far as you want. If you didn't use an applicator brush, comb the dye downward using a comb. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to create a vertical part on the left side of your head. Apply the dye to either side of the part using the same technique as before. Start as close to your face as you can. Continue creating vertical parts down the side of your head, and applying dye to them. Stop when you reach the back of your ears. At this point, you can do the right side of your head, or move onto the next section. These parts should extend from the last vertical part to the center-back of your head. Start with the parts from the back of your neck, then work your way up towards the crown of your head. Once you have finished this part, repeat the entire process on the right side of your head: vertical parts until you reach your ears, then horizontal parts until you reach the back-center of your head. Again, each brand will be a little different. In most cases, however, this will be around 25 minutes. Avoid tucking your hair under a shower cap, or you will risk getting dye on the ends of your hair. Cold water would be the best, but not everyone can handle that. Avoid...

Look for a body wash that has a chemical exfoliator or a manual exfoliator, like sugar, salt, or plastic beads. Since the skin on your body is thicker, it’s okay to use a stronger exfoliator and to exfoliate more often. Scrub yourself with your exfoliating body wash every day to keep your skin looking soft and smooth. If your skin feels dry or irritated, decrease how often you use your body wash. Try using it 2-3 times a week. If you want your skin to be really soft and smooth, use a manual exfoliator once a week to improve your skin. Wet your skin, then massage the scrub into your body before you shower. Start at your shoulders, then rub the exfoliator into your skin down to your toes. Pay special attention to your elbows, knees, and ankles where skin tends to build up.  If you don’t use an exfoliating body wash, it’s okay to use a body scrub twice a week, if you like. You can purchase a commercial body scrub or make your own. For a simple body scrub, combine equal parts brown sugar or salt with coconut oil, almond oil, or sweet almond oil. A brush or scrub allows you to easily exfoliate your skin without a product. Use your brush or sponge daily before you shower while your skin is dry. Start at your shoulders and work your way down to your feet. Move the brush or sponge across your skin in short, light strokes to remove your dead skin cells. Using the brush or sponge can irritate your skin, especially if it’s sensitive. If this happens, use your brush or sponge once a week or switch to a different exfoliator. It’s normal for your skin to feel dry or itchy after you exfoliate. Fortunately, you can relieve this by applying a body lotion or cream. Slather your favorite moisturizer over your body as soon as you get out of the shower. Use about a shot glass of body lotion or cream to cover your entire body. However, use more if necessary.

Look for a clay pot or plastic container with lots of holes in the bottom for proper drainage. You may also want to purchase a dish to rest the pot or container on and help catch any drips. You should start with a smaller pot at first, but keep in mind that you’ll need to transplant to a larger pot as the plant grows. To estimate the soil amount, fill the pot until it reaches a little over halfway. Use a palm or cactus mix, which usually includes a good mix of soil, sand, vermiculite, perlite, and peat moss to regulate the soil’s moisture and drainage.  Don’t pack the soil down. It will need to be loose for proper drainage.  You could also add vermiculite or sand to normal potting soil in a 1:4 or 1:3 ratio. Hold the leafy or sprouted end up in center of the pot, slightly above the soil. The point where the sprout emerges should sit about an 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the pot’s edge.  If the roots are still delicate, you can plant the sprout with the paper towel to protect them. Only plant one sprouted seed per pot. Hold the seed and sprout in place while you add the rest of the soil, filling it to the point where the sprout emerges. Pat the soil down to lightly pack it so the sprout will have support to stand up. After being planted, the sprout will need a good drink. Pour water over the soil until it trickles out through the drainage holes at the bottom. Let the soil absorb and drain the water, then water the plant again until the soil is fully moistened.

Look for a counselor or social worker who can work with you on exploring your commitment issues. You may want to look for someone who specializes in relationship issues and attachment theory. Make sure they are licensed by a state or national governing body that oversees mental health care professionals.  Attachment theory focuses on a child’s early connections with their primary caregiver. This is important to consider in pursuing your own therapeutic work, because your early connections with your caregivers may have influenced your commitment phobia and/or how you navigate adult relationships. Ask your doctor, check with your insurance company for a list of in-network providers, or contact your local community health agency, for suggestions on how you can find a therapist near you. You could also type “find a therapist” into a search engine and you will find websites that can help you locate one. A fear of commitment is likely the result of past experiences. Consider what events in your life may have contributed to your fear. A therapist or close friend may be able to help you with this by being there to listen to you. You may also consider talking with family members you consider “safe” to get more information on what took place during your childhood. Keep in mind that trauma and your age at the time of the experience may affect your memory.  You may have had a previous relationship you thought was going well end suddenly without warning. You may have been in a previous abusive relationship. You may have suffered child abuse or other trauma while growing up. You may have experienced your parents divorcing while growing up.  You may have unmet needs or attachment issues stemming from childhood. Figure out what it is about commitment that scares you. Different people may find different aspects of commitment frightening. Generally, most people are afraid of intimacy and genuine emotional connection, but there is often another aspect that is holding them back to pursuing a committed relationship.  You may be...

Look for a healthy, handsome fish.  Don’t choose a fish from an aquarium in which there are also sickly or dead fish.  You want a fish that looks like they’re aware of their surroundings, actively moves around, nibbles on stuff, and generally acts like a boss.  Gaze into the fish’s eyes. Seriously. Goldfish eyes should be clear, not foggy. Check out the fish’s fins and body.  You want erect, non-ragged fins on your fish.  Saggy or messed up fins often indicate ill health. Similarly, don’t choose a fish with white spots, fuzzy patches, or red streaks. Once the match has been made, get your fish into a plastic bag filled with water from the tank from which it came.  Place the plastic bag inside a paper bag so the journey to its new home will not traumatize it. But don’t hurry the process.  Float the bag for fifteen minutes or so in your tank to let the fish slowly acclimate to any temperature difference.  At about the five minute mark, allow some of the tanks water into the bag, but don’t let any of the bagged water into the tank.  Do not pour the fish and the bagged water into your tank. Instead, gently scoop the fish out of the bag with a net and submerge the net in the tank slowly, letting the fish swim out of the net on its own. Turn off the lights and leave the room.  Give your new goldfish some peace and quiet to encounter their new living space. Add a fish tank additive called stress coat to the water to minimize the chances of your fish becoming ill from the change in environment. There are a lot of different options. Get whichever you want; Preparation is more important. If the food is dry (most goldfish food is), soak it in water from the tank for a minute before feeding your fish. Un-soaked food can injure or sicken the fish when it expands in the stomach.  Fish food should sink, or be suspended in the water.  Food that floats risks giving the fish swim bladder issues. Feed your fish once a day, six days a week.  On the seventh day, your gold fish needs to rest.  Make sure not to feed to much; too...

Look for a large rock on the edge of a stream or a river, also known as slab rocks. Avoid porous rocks that have holes or cavities in them, as well as rocks that have cracks. A solid rock with no visible flaws, preferably long and thick, is what you want to use for your axe. This will make it easier to pound at the edges of the rock without injuring your fingers, hands, or other body parts. You will also need to find a large hammering rock, which you will use to shape the source rock. Look for a hammering rock that you can hold comfortably in your hand, with an even rock face. Using this method will create a knapped axe head, where the axe head is shaped by hitting it with another rock. Another option is to use a river rock that is hard and contains fine grained stone. Many river rocks are rounded in shape and smooth to the touch, unlike slab rocks, which are often jagged and square shaped. You can find river rocks at the bottom of the river or lining a stream. Look for a river rock that is relatively close to the size you’d like to have for your axe. You will also need a hammering rock to slowly peck away at the river rock until it is shaped into a suitable axe. A quartzite rock would make an ideal hammering rock for your river rock axe head. This will create a pecked stone axe head, where the river rock is chipped at very slowly, or pecked, with another rock. The handle for your stone axe will need to be made of freshly harvested wood, or wood that is from a young tree. This will ensure the wood can be bent and shaped without breaking. Privet stem is ideal, if available. You can also use wood from a small, young tree.  You will need a piece of “green” wood that is at least two to three feet long. Look for a piece of wood that is not too wide or too narrow. The handle should be wide enough to accommodate the axe head, but narrow enough to hold in your hand. You can try out the length of the wood by holding it in your hand. You want the axe to be long enough to hold comfortably and swing behind you. You will...

Look for an unrefined, extra-virgin, organic coconut oil since it will be higher in nutrients than highly refined coconut oils. Avoid using refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) coconut oil. Keep in mind that coconut oil might become liquid if it's in a warm location, but will harden as it cools. Buy high-quality coconut oil at grocery stores, pharmacies, and natural food stores. If the coconut oil is in liquid form, spoon about 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) of coconut oil into the palm of one hand. Rub your hands together so they're coated with the oil. If you're using coconut oil that is solid, scoop a small spoonful into your hand and rub your palms together for a minute. The coconut oil will soften and become liquid. Rub your oiled hands over the skin of your dog's back, lower legs, and stomach. You should also rub it over any skin that is dry, itchy, red, or flea-bitten. Apply the oil once or twice a day while your dog is suffering from skin problems. Reapply oil to your hands as needed. If your dog is suffering from fleas, you'll also need to treat your dog's fur. Rub more coconut oil between your hands and run your fingers through your dog's fur. Remember to rub coconut oil through the fur on your dog's underbelly. Apply the coconut oil once or twice a day while you're dog is infected with fleas. You can use the coconut oil for several days or weeks. Continue to apply the coconut oil until the fleas are gone. Don't worry if your dog immediately licks the coconut oil off of its fur or skin, since it's safe to ingest. But if you're concerned that the coconut oil isn't coming into contact with your dog's skin or fur, you might need to put a sweater on your dog. The sweater will prevent the dog from licking off the oil.

Look for brands that are American Dental Association (ADA) approved, because they contain fluoride: a mineral essential for dental health.  Whitening toothpastes contain special abrasives such as baking soda and peroxide to remove surface stains from teeth. However, these products will only remove surface stains. They will not change the color of your enamel entirely. Whitening toothpastes won't cause any problems for people with braces. The abrasives in the toothpaste won't cause any breakdown of cement or wear on your wires. Start by putting a pea-sized amount of whitening toothpaste on your brush. You don't need a huge amount of toothpaste to clean your teeth!   Dentists recommend a round-ended toothbrush with soft bristles. Electric or sonic toothbrushes are preferable since they do a more thorough job; however, you may still need an interdental toothbrush to clean around your brackets. Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums. Gently brush in side to side strokes. Be sure to brush the front, back, biting surfaces of all of your teeth. Brushing your teeth should take at least two to three minutes. If you have any stubborn areas around your brackets and wires, you can use a cone-shaped (interdental) toothbrush. Most orthodontists and dentists will be able to supply you with these. These brushes are small and are designed to fit under the wires of braces. If your braces are shiny and all parts of the brackets are visible, you have done a good job. Brush your teeth this way after each meal. once a day. This can be difficult when you have braces.  Thread the floss under the wires of your braces. Then floss as you normally would, making sure you get deep into the spaces between your teeth. It may take some time for you to get used to flossing with braces, but it's important that you continue to take this step. Keeping your teeth flossed is essential for having white teeth. Food and other debris caught between your teeth can cause decay and discoloration. In addition, you can develop gingivitis or...

Look for corn flour or maize flour at the store. In addition to the flour and water you will need a saucepan and a wooden spoon, as well as a stove to cook the ugali on.  The saucepan will need to be big enough to hold the 6 cups of ingredients with room to vigorously stir them around. You can use cornmeal if you can't find the flour at the store but the consistency will be very different. Corn flour is more finely ground than cornmeal, so the finished consistency will be smoother and more gelatinous with the corn flour. This dish can get messy while cooked, so might consider using a non-stick pan. Either way, expect a bit of scrubbing after the dish is finished. You want the water to be very hot so that it keeps enough heat while you add the flour. Add 1 cup of boiling water at a time to avoid lumps. You want to keep stirring constantly, making sure that the mixture is getting even heating and that you smooth out any lumps that develop. Cook until thickened. You may need to add more than 1 cup of flour to get your ugali to the right texture. Don't worry about staying strictly at 1 cup, instead pay more attention to the texture. The texture is usually thicker than mashed potatoes and is best cooked until the dough pulls from the side of the pot. It may get difficult to stir and incorporate the flour by the end of cooking. However, you want to keep going, so that the finished product is pretty firm.

Look for fillets that are at least 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) thick. They should have a bright color and a fresh, salty smell. If they smell fishy or look dull/dark, do not buy them. Only buy the fillets if you plan to eat them the same day.  If you are getting a frozen fish, make sure that it was frozen the same day it was caught. It is best to avoid getting frozen fish, however, as they usually are not that fresh. If you cannot get skinned, fish fillets, click here to learn how to fillet and skin a fish. Look for firm fish with bright eyes and scales. Fish with dull eyes and scales are not fresh. Great sushi fish include: tuna and salmon. Great places to get sushi-grade fish are fish markets and Japanese markets. Plan on eating your sushi within four hours. If you don't plan on eating your sushi that soon, then stick the fish back into the fridge, on top of some ice. Most fish fillets will already have the bones removes, but you might still want to run your fingers over the flesh and check. If you feel something sharp, it is a bone. Pull it out using a pair of tweezers or pliers and discard it. The easiest blocks to work with for sushi are 1 to 1½ inches (2.54 to 3.81 centimeters) thick, 3 ½ inches (8.89 centimeters) wide, and 4 to 5 inches (10.16 to 12.7 centimeters) long. Work with a cold knife, hands, and cutting board. If necessary, run everything, including your hands, under cold water. Cut across the grain at a downward, 45 degree angle. This will give you that nice, striped pattern. Keep the slices between 1/8 and ¼ inches (0.32 to 0.64 centimeters) thick. Cut straight down. Don't use a sawing motion. Always hold the fish behind the knife. Never cut towards yourself or your hand. If you want to make sushi rolls, consider using any leftover scraps. You can also trim your slices down so that they are narrower.  Use the prettiest slices for nigiri and sashimi. The less pretty slices can go inside sushi rolls.  Fish rolls provide an interesting and alternative to sushi for preparing fish.

Look for high-quality beans that are wet-processed. This means they weren't dried with the fruit left on which can lead to mold growth. If you can, buy beans that were machine-hulled which removes the husks. You can purchase green coffee beans online or ask your local coffee roaster to put aside some unroasted beans for you to purchase. Put 1 cup (170 g) of green coffee beans into a fine mesh strainer and place it under the sink faucet. Rinse the beans briefly and then transfer them to a pot on the stove. Avoid rubbing the beans vigorously because they'll lose the papery chaff that contains antioxidants. Pour in filtered or spring water and put the lid on the pot. Turn the burner to high and heat the beans until the water begins to boil. Take the lid off of the pot and turn the burner down to medium so the water bubbles gently. Simmer the beans for 12 minutes and stir them occasionally. Stir them gently so you don't loosen the chaff from the corners of the beans. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or storage container such as a jug. Slowly pour the extract through the strainer and into the container.  The strainer should catch the beans and large flakes of the chaff. Consider storing the beans to steep again. Put them in a sealable bag once they've cooled and refrigerate them. Steep them again within 1 week and then discard them. Unlike commercial powders that you need to mix, your green coffee extract is ready to drink immediately. If you dislike the strong flavor, dilute it with a little water or juice. Cover and refrigerate the extract for up to 3 to 4 days.

Look for large pieces of ginger that are moist and heavy for their size. This will give you more ginger to work with.  Also look for pieces of ginger root that are straight and rectangular in shape, with as few bumps and knobs as possible. This will make them easier to peel and prepare. Ginger root can be frozen, unpeeled, for up to 6 months, so do not be afraid to buy more than you need for your current recipe. The skin of the ginger root should be firm and unblemished, apart from the rough, dried patch where the piece was cut. You do not want to buy anything that is wrinkled, soft or covered in mold. Quality ginger will smell peppery or have a slight aroma of citrus. If it's fresh, it should smell pungent and sharp.

Look for mushrooms with gills that are brown or tan. While some mushrooms with white gills are edible, the most deadly and poisonous mushroom family—Amanitas—nearly always have white gills. Choose mushrooms with white, tan or brown caps and stems. Many red mushrooms are poisonous. A red mushroom is using its only natural warning system, it’s color, to tell predators—including you—to steer clear. Avoid mushrooms with patches or scaling of a lighter or darker shade on the cap, which may appear like spots. These scaly spots are common among poisonous mushroom varieties. For example, white mushrooms may have tan or brown scaly patches. Check beneath the cap of the mushroom for a second veil-like ring of tissue that looks a bit like a mini-cap beneath the cap. If the mushroom you’re observing has this ring of tissue, skip it. Many mushrooms with this feature are poisonous. Place mushrooms you are confident are edible in one basket, and mushrooms you aren’t sure about in another. You won’t get ill simply from handling a poisonous mushroom. Consult a knowledgeable expert to identify any mushrooms you aren’t sure about.  You can connect with a mushroom expert through a local mycological group or at a local university. There is not one particular location that edible mushrooms grow. They can be found on trees, logs, the forest floor, or on moss. There is no need to wear gloves when foraging. Use extreme caution when foraging for mushrooms, as many poisonous and nonpoisonous varieties look alike. Some varieties of mushrooms can change their appearance depending upon growing conditions, making identification difficult.  For example, mushrooms of the same variety can develop color differently based on their exposure to sunlight. Experts suggest never eating any variety of mushroom that you haven’t been able to identify at least 3 times in the wild. A professional should confirm that you have identified the mushroom properly each of those 3 times.
