Find a safe and distraction free space where you and your parents can talk. Make sure both of you have time to have a full discussion about dating. Starting the conversation is always the hardest part, but once you get started talking it gets easier. You can say, "Mom and dad, can I talk to you about dating? Is there a place we could talk just the three of us?" You may want to make sure that it is only the three of you talking, if you have siblings, don't discuss dating with them. If there are other people there, they can make the conversation more complicated. Be as direct and honest as possible and remember to remain calm. Consider starting off the conversation by saying, "The reason I want to talk to you about dating is because I am wondering about it and want to talk to you about a few things." Your parents will probably appreciate that you know what you have thought what you want to talk to them about.  Write down what you want to say to your parents. You can write down all your thoughts and feelings and then circle the main points. After you have your main points rephrase them so that they are clear and direct. Remember to leave space in the conversation for your parents to talk. If your parents interrupt you often, calmly explain that you want to explain each point you are making fully, before the discussion begins. Say, "I have some things to say, but I want to finish what I want to say before we start discussing it together, is that okay?" You might assume that you know their views when you don't know for sure how they feel. Show them that you care about their feelings and concerns. They probably just want the best for you, and may need time to understand that you want to date.  At first you may find it difficult to listen because you are talking about that you really care about. However, if you can focus on what they are saying you will have a much more productive discussion. If you are unclear about what they are saying or want to show them you understand them, you can reframe what they are saying...

Find a spray bottle with a mist setting. You don’t want to spray a concentrated amount on a small area of your hair, but instead, you want a gentle mist over all your locks. Put ½ cup (118 mL) of distilled water into the spray bottle. Distilled water is better than tap water, which contains minerals that can dry out your hair. Rose water has a lovely scent that will keep your hair smelling great all day. Add ½ cup (118 mL) of rose water to the spray bottle in addition to the distilled water, if desired. If you don’t want to use rose water, you can add several drops of your favorite essential oil, like lavender or orange, to scent your hair spray instead. You can find rose water at drugstores and superstores, as well as online. Choose a vegetable-based glycerine, such as one derived from coconut oil or shea butter. Add 2 teaspoons (9.8 mL) of vegetable glycerin and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of olive oil to the spray bottle to complete this concoction. Vegetable glycerine can be found at your local drugstore or superstore, as well as online. Thoroughly shake the bottle before you use it each time to combine the oil and glycerine with the other ingredients. Then, spray the mixture onto your hair when it is still damp from bathing or showering. Use enough to lightly coat your hair, but not so much that it becomes sticky or difficult to style. Experiment with different amounts until you find out how much works perfectly for your hair type. To evenly distribute the glycerine spray through your hair, run a wide-tooth comb through your hair from root to tip. Then, style your hair as you normally do. You can use this glycerine hair spray when getting ready in the morning as well as throughout the day to refresh your locks and tame flyaways. Spray a small amount of the mixture onto your hair, then comb through it for straight hair, or use your fingers to reshape your curls.

Find a style that accents your facial features and is fresh, creative, and easy to maintain.  The style doesn’t have to be totally off the wall to be different, it just needs to be a major change for you. If you have long hair, think about cutting it short. If you have shorter hair, think about growing it out, styling it differently, or getting extensions. Whether you put streaks in, make a bold color choice, or return to your roots, find a color you like and go with it.  If you want a safe but major change, you can dye your dark hair blonde, or vice versa. You can also dye your hair using a colorful ombre effect. If your hair has been every color of the rainbow and you want a more natural look, let your hair grow out to its original color. This can take some time, but your natural hair color is always going to be unique to you. Makeup can enhance your beauty and also be a form of art and personal expression.  Try applying stars and swirls or other quirky designs around your face. Apply unique eye makeup. Blend eyeshadow colors or do a sunset makeup look for a colorful look. Try out a rainbow or glitter lip for more festive occasions. There are also temporary lip tattoos you can buy online for a one-of-a-kind look that can be easily removed. It is okay if you choose not to wear makeup at all. Your unique style is all about what makes you feel good. And depending on your situation, the choice not to wear makeup can be a statement in itself.

Find an upbeat playlist to play while you work. Music is proven to lift your mood and help you complete tasks more quickly, so listening will both add some fun to your cleaning process and improve your efficiency. Open the curtains and shake off the dust. The natural light will brighten and open up your space.  You could also open the windows for some fresh air, which will help dispel any unpleasant odors and chemicals you may be using to clean. Choose a manageable amount of time, such as 15 or 20 minutes, to really focus on cleaning without any distractions. Tell yourself that you can be done after those 15-20 minutes are up if you focus and keep cleaning the whole time. Combine this step with music--make yourself a 15- or 20-minute playlist and focus on cleaning until the music is done.

Find out if there are any specific reasons that they spend so much time on the computer.  Sometimes, the computer can function as an escape from reality, especially if they are being bullied or having difficulties in school. If your child is facing problems that are causing a desire to escape, address those with them through discussions, providing advice, or getting them help when necessary.  Listen to them without interrupting.  There may be something that they’ve been wanting to share with you, so come to the conversation with a kind and concerned demeanor. Oftentimes, children don't realize when they're engaging in escape/avoidance behaviors. You may have to float the idea as a possibility for them to think about and have a few conversations about this. After having a talk with your child and assessing what’s going on with them, lay down some basic ground rules for computer use.  Let them know that there are limits, that they can only use the computer for two hours per day for non-homework related items, and that there will be consequences if they do not follow the rules. For instance, if they are caught using the computer for longer than allowed, take away the computer for one day.  Let them rely on their textbooks when completing any homework. When they do break one of your computer rules, implement consequences immediately.  Delaying consequences often results in bad behavior being repeated.  If they overuse the computer or use it for anything other than school during homework time, take it away from them then and there.  If they are caught doing this a second time, take the computer away for 2 days instead of 1. If they feel that their bad behavior will not be punished, then they will not care about the consequences and may lose respect for you. Don’t spend a lot of time using the computer around your child.  This might make them feel a bit resentful of you if they see you doing the things that you have banned them from doing.  Instead, be present when you are with them and work on spending more time together.

Find out what you can about your crush (without being a stalker). Ask your friends for any information, such as whether they’re available, what their interests are, their age, and so on. It’s always best to have at least a little bit of information about your crush before approaching them. Having some background information will be helpful as you’ll then have some conversation starters as well as an idea of whether or not you two would be compatible in a relationship. Don’t be nervous and instead just aim to be direct and friendly. Let them know who you are and start a simple conversation with them. After all, the relationship will never happen unless you actually talk to them!  If you two have anything in common (such as being in the same class or seeing each other at the same coffee shop frequently) start by talking about that. That way, you’ll have more of a reason to approach them and you’ll already have a topic that you can fall back on for conversation. Try saying something like, “Hey have I seen you at _____ before? You look familiar.” You can avoid awkwardness by coming up to them and giving a friendly smile and handshake. Don’t immediately ask them a lot of questions. Instead just give them a little compliment or make small talk. Saying something as simple as, “Hey, I really like your shoes, where did you get them?” could potentially spark a longer conversation. If you two have any friends in common, ask the friend to introduce you. That will make the introduction more natural and the friend could work as a mediator for you two to get to know each other. Though your crush may physically fit the description of a nerd or have a reputation as one, don’t make any assumptions about who they are or what they are like. After all, you want to get to know your crush as a real person, not as a stereotype. For example, instead of assuming they like video games or programming, simply ask them what their hobbies are. Be sure to ask follow up questions and show an interest in what they are telling you. Nerds are...

Find out what your Body Mass Index (BMI) is. If it’s in the high 20s or over 30, you are considered overweight or obese. If you also have high blood pressure or a family history that includes diabetes, call your doctor about getting your blood sugar level tested. If you’re over 45, it’s a good idea to get tested regardless of risk factors. If your test is normal, repeat the test every 3 years to make sure you’re still healthy. Having high glucose levels and prediabetes will usually indicate whether you also have high insulin levels. There are 3 tests your doctor may recommend you take. One, the A1C test, is a simple blood test. For the other 2, you’ll need to discuss preparations with your doctor. They’ll likely ask you to fast for a certain number of hours, then test your body’s ability to process sugar.  Both the fasting plasma glucose test and the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) are generally done after you’ve fasted for at least 8 hours. The blood draw for the fasting plasma glucose test can be done immediately after your fasting period. For the OGTT, you’ll be given a sweet drink after your fasting period. After 2 hours, you’ll then have your blood drawn. Once your results from the test(s) become available, your doctor will likely call you into their office. They’ll explain whether you have high glucose levels and help you create a plan of action to avoid getting diabetes. While normal levels can vary from lab to lab, the following results generally indicate prediabetes:  An A1C of 5.7-6.4%. Fasting glucose levels of 100-125 mg/dL. A blood glucose level of between 140-199 mg/dL. If you have high insulin levels associated with prediabetes, your doctor will ask you to make changes to your diet and exercise plans. If you’re concerned about exercising because you haven’t done it in a while (or ever), that’s ok! The doctor is there to support and guide you. They can either develop a plan that’s safe and effective for you, or direct you to a qualified personal trainer. Some medications may help lower your...

Find out when your boyfriend is free and when he needs to be left alone to get things done. Learn what hours he works, when he’s at school, and what times he goes to sports practice or works on his hobbies.   Try to schedule daily phone calls or texts. Everyone can make some time in their day to reach out to the people they care about. If your boyfriend can’t do this, it may be a sign that he lacks interest. You might want to make a copy of your boyfriend’s schedule so you won’t forget it. If he uses an online scheduling tool like Google Calendar, ask him to give you access to it. Don’t just guess when you should call or visit your boyfriend – discuss it ahead of time so you’ll know for sure. Ask him when he prefers to talk on the phone, and see whether he has any downtime during the day when you can come say hello. For instance, maybe he’s free to have lunch with you once a week, or maybe he can talk on the phone with you when he gets out of class at 4 PM. If your boyfriend is too busy to go on long dates with you every week, look for other reasons to get together. For instance, you could help him with yard work or go to the gym together in the mornings. You can also join him for activities he’s already involved in. If he takes a cooking class on Monday nights, ask him if you can come, too. If you can’t see your boyfriend often, focus on making your talks and visits fun and memorable when you do get together. Plan ahead, even if that just means renting a movie and cooking a nice dinner. If you’re worried you’ll forget to tell him things, write them down so you’ll have plenty to talk about next time you see each other.

Find someone who is not directly involved, so it’s better not to choose your sibling, aunt or uncle. A good friend will not judge you for your feelings and will help you begin to sort through the information that you’ve learned. You are processing a lot of different feelings, from anger to sadness to frustration. It will be helpful to talk with a professional who has expertise in counseling about extramarital affairs, as they can offer insight that may not have occurred to you. They will also not judge your parents’ behavior and instead can offer an objective viewpoint. They can also give you practical steps to coping with this situation. Journal writing is a good way to process your feelings and relieve stress. You don’t need to share your writing with anyone, and you can explore your most private concerns. This is a good way to begin processing how you feel and how you might approach talking to your parents about the issue. You are not in your parent's shoes and it is highly probable that you are not aware of the entire story. Marriages are challenging and both people contribute to their success. If there are problems, you may not have heard about them. Jumping to conclusions about what happened will not serve your relationship with either parent. It may be tempting to try to find evidence that your parent is cheating, but it’s not your place to do so. It’s not your marriage, and while you may feel betrayed by an unfaithful parent, you are still the child, not the spouse. Resist the temptation to scroll through your parent’s text messages or emails. If your siblings know about the situation, check on them to see how they’re doing. If you have younger siblings who still live at home, go for a walk together so that you can have some privacy. Talk to them about how they’re feeling and coping. If your siblings don’t know about the affair, think very carefully whether telling them is a good idea. It’s not really your place to do so, and it could hurt them unnecessarily.

Find somewhere new to visit. The new adventure will keep your mind occupied on details such as getting there, finding a place to park, and exploring the site. When you distract yourself with something you enjoy, you will find that you can endure pain or uncomfortable feelings more easily. You might enjoy doing woodworking, gardening, or hiking. Pass the time with people you enjoy being around. This will enable more sustainable and interesting conversation. When you are on your own, you start to feel isolated and you may tend to focus on negative feelings more readily. Distract yourself from old patterns of thinking by forcing yourself to try new routines. Retrain your brain to think about life in a different way. For example, if you had a difficult breakup, you might need to stop visiting familiar restaurants that remind you of your ex. Instead, find a new restaurant and make new memories.

Find the color which looks best on you. This will depend on your skin tone, hair color, and eye color. If you have brightly colored eyes, it is usually the same as your eye color. Yellow or green will make red hair look rich, brunettes benefit from purples, and red looks great with black hair. Experiment or ask friends for advice. Once you have a base color to work with, choose some colors that match with it. Two is a good number to shoot for. You can either choose colors that you believe match, choose from a color palette in a magazine, or use a tool like Adobe's Kuler. Now that you have some colors picked out, you'll want to pick some neutral colors to balance them out. Wearing too many colors will give you a circusy look. Depending on the colors you've chosen, add some black, white, beige, brown, or gray.

Find the departure and arrival times for a trip to the Salisbury station, which is the station closest to Stonehenge. If you begin in London like most travelers, you will depart from the Waterloo train station. Trains run approximately every hour. Ticket prices will depend on the season and how early you purchase your ticket. Buying in advance usually costs less than waiting until the day of. Child discounts are available, and elderly discounts may be available depending on your ticket preferences. The train ride should take less than 1.5 hours. Once you get to Salisbury, you’ll be 9.5 miles (15 kilometers) from Stonehenge. You will need to use a bus or hire a cab to travel the remaining distance to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. There is a local bus called the Stonehenge Tour Bus that runs every half-hour during the season and every hour during off-season. The bus runs from 10 AM until Stonehenge closes, and riders can hop on and off at their convenience. Your bus trip will take about half an hour.  On-season spans the months of April through September, and off-season runs from October through March.  During on-season, Stonehenge closes at 7:00 PM (19:00), and during off-season it closes at 5:00 PM (17:00). The last entry is two hours before they close.

Find them on Facebook, Twitter, and any other online forums and ban or block them from contact. Set all social media profiles to "Friends Only" instead of "Public" view. In your phone's "contacts" section, find their number and select "block caller." You do not want them to get any personal information from you at all, and ending all calls is much easier than trying to ignore them.  If they know any of your passwords, especially your email, change all of them immediately. While it is a pain, permanently changing your email and phone number is the best way to ensure they cannot contact you at all. Use this to keep copies of all documents pertaining to the stalking behavior. Also include important personal and financial papers, passport, social security and insurance information, and other vital information that you can access in the event of an emergency. At the very least, put a lock on your mailbox. Do not let them get into personal information that may be delivered to you. Contact your phone company and ask for them to make your number and details private. You can also search yourself on the internet to see if there is anything you have missed. Refrain from mentioning your itinerary on social media. Finally, use creative usernames for Skype, IM and other accounts where people can search for you. Do not use your real name online unless absolutely necessary. Something like SportsLover86 is far safer than anything that hints at your true identity. If you feel that your home is being watched, stay somewhere else, such as your parents' home or the homes of relatives or friends. If you are living away from family and have not yet made solid friendships in your new town, seek advice from a campus counselor or from the local police for alternatives or to request check-ups on your property. If you must move permanently, leave early and rent a moving service to get your things discretely. Do not wait around the house with your things. Do not open unexpected packages.

Find your school handbook, or any packet of policy information that you’ve received, and review the attendance policy section. Specifically find out if they will call your parents if you have an unexcused absence. If they automatically call when you don’t show up, you’ll need to find a way to make sure your parents don’t get the call.  Get your hands on your parents’ phones and block the school’s number the day before you skip. Deceiving your parents and tampering with their phone can get you in big trouble, so weigh the risk before you do this. If your school does not call when you’re absent, you won’t have to worry about your parents hearing from the school. Skipping school frequently is called “truancy” and can get you suspended from school. You may have to go before a judge who can order mandatory counselling, extra school, detention, or probation. Skipping school can lead to truancy, which will remain on your permanent record. Pick a specific day that you want to skip school, rather than deciding to skip spontaneously. Give yourself enough time to take some precautions and make arrangements. Take into consideration any tests or special events that you can’t miss.  If you miss a big test or project that has a significant effect on your grade, your parents are much more likely to find out that you skipped. A day when you don’t have much going on will have less consequences when you show back up to school than a day where something important is happening. One way to avoid having the school tell your parents that you skipped is to turn in a note for an excused absence a few days before you skip. Write the note in good handwriting and sign it with your parent’s name. Turning in an excuse note before you skip helps you avoid detection.  Practice your parent’s signature so it looks authentic. Give a simple reason for why you will be gone. Say you are visiting a relative out of town, taking a one day vacation, or doing some work around the house. Keep in mind that lying to the authorities at your school is never...

Finding a new job takes time. Schedule regular hours outside of work to conduct your search. Consider what you are looking for in terms of responsibilities and company culture. Compensation and benefits are important, but focus on the job more than the money. Favor quality over quantity, and don’t waste time sifting through huge job sites.  Use your business network. Referrals are 5 to 10 times more effective than applying directly. Accordingly, you should devote at least 50% of your time to networking and consulting your network.  Look for companies rather than jobs. Set up informational interviews at companies you would like to work at. This sort of networking will put you in a good position to land a job if one does open up.  Consider job sites that regularly email you job listing that fit your criteria, or sites specific to your field. . Avoid over-used terms and phrases: motivated, innovative, dynamic, detail oriented, team player, excellent communication skills. Show, don’t tell: let the work you did and what you accomplished show that you are a motivated, dynamic worker. . Especially if you applying directly instead of through a contact in your network, your cover letter needs to grab the hiring manager’s attention. It is your chance to expand on your résumé and show why you are perfect for the job. . Now that you’ve found a great job and used your contacts or stellar résumé to get noticed, you need to shine at the interview to seal the deal.  Dress appropriately. If you’re not sure what to wear, then call the companies Human Resources department, tell them you are coming for an interview, and ask about the dress code.  Project positive body language: no nervous ticks (jiggling a leg or touching your face); don’t slouch or sit to rigidly. Prepare answers to commonly asked questions. You don’t need to memorize anything, but do know generally how you will respond and come prepared with a few sound bites for questions like: What is your biggest weakness? Where do you see yourself in five years? What...

Finding someone who wants to be in a casual relationship can be tricky since it is not as conventional as a romantic relationship. If you have a friend or acquaintance who you are comfortable with, consider approaching that person. Tell this potential partner that you aren’t looking for anything serious, but you would like to spend some time with them one-on-one. Be respectful and understanding if this person declines. There are numerous dating websites and apps that can help you find someone who is on the same page as you are. Be yourself on these websites, and be honest about what you are looking for. Always stay safe and let a friend know if and when you meet a potential partner for the first time. Communication is the key to success in any relationship, and casual relationships are no exception. It is important to be upfront and honest about what each of you are looking for in a causal relationship. If you want companionship, intimacy, or simply someone to go to a museum or a movie with you, let your potential partner know. Encourage your partner to communicate their wants, needs, and expectations with you, and promise to continue the open line of communication. Say to your partner, “I really enjoy spending time with you, but I am not looking for a commitment or a relationship. Is this something you are comfortable with?” With your partner, decide on the parameters of the casual relationship. Perhaps you will only see each other a few nights a month, or maybe you will plan to have dinner only on the weekends. Limit your time spent together so that it does not begin to feel like a committed relationship. Discuss your options and what you both are comfortable with. With so many platforms of communication, from text messages to online chats, it is important to be upfront about which method works best for the two of you, and how often you should be in contact. Constant communication could increase your emotional investment, so be sure to keep to the communication boundaries the two of you set. Have a...

Fine scratches that are not very noticeable can be removed using a cleaning product. Dish soaps, such as Ajax and comet, can be used to buff out fine scratches. You can also use powder stainless steel sink cleaner. Use either a cloth or a sponge to work the soap or powder-based cleaning solution into the scratch in your sink. Move in the direction of the grain as you apply the cleaner. Apply enough cleaner to completely cover the scratch. The amount of time this takes varies on the type of cleaner. The product should dry on until it has a hazy texture. Use  a rag or paper towel to wipe off the product. If you were successful, the product have lifted the scratch from the stainless steel. If the scratch was not removed, try a stronger product like a scratch remover.

Finely chop the shallots and celery, then add them to a large saucepan with 2 teaspoons of oil. Cook the shallots and celery over medium heat for 2 minutes. Chop off the thick stem and leaves from half a head of cauliflower, then cut it into small florets. Peel and slice the potatoes, then add both into the saucepan. For a twist, use sweet potatoes instead of Yukon gold potatoes. They will give your soup an extra dose of beta-carotene and vitamin A. Chicken broth is recommended, but if you are vegan or vegetarian, you can use vegetable broth instead. Use low-fat, low-sodium broth if you can; this will give you a healthier soup in the end. Reduce the heat to low, then let the soup simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. You are ready for the next step when the vegetables turn soft and tender. It would be best to use freshly-squeezed lemon juice, but if you can't get any, bottled lemon juice is fine. This will help bring out the other flavors in your soup. Measure out half of the soup, and pour it into a food processor or blender. Purée the soup until it is smooth, then pour it into another saucepan or into two bowls. Repeat with the remaining half of the soup.  Scrape the sides of the food processor or blender from time to time. This will shift any lumps or clumps back towards the bottom, and give you a smoother soup. The longer you blend the soup, the smoother it will become. If you poured the soup into a separate saucepan, now is the time to divide it evenly between four soup bowls and serve it. If you'd like, you can garnish the soup with some croutons and chives. Id you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge or freezer.

Fireplace kits really run the gamut, ranging from simple affairs to ornate pieces, replete with all the bells and whistles. The great thing about fireplace kits is that you can usually opt for a wide variety of styles that will fit your budget. Got a smaller budget? No problem, there's a kit for that. Working with a bigger budget? The sky is almost literally the limit. If you're an experienced home builder, you don't need to limit yourself to a kit. It's still best to stick to a proven build, but you can start with plans you find online and make small alterations. Most DIY designs employ cinder blocks or another sturdy, economical material as the skeleton. The skeleton is then covered with stone or another veneer stone after the cinder block is laid. Consider the three main elements of your outdoor fireplace when choosing a design:  Base: A reinforced concrete base is the best base you can have for a fireplace. Custom fireplaces are usually heavier than prefab fireplaces, meaning your base needs to be stronger and thicker than ordinary.  Firebox: Your firebox will house the fire, and should sport fire brick if custom built. On the other hand, you can purchase a firebox (choices of material include stainless steel and other types of brick) if you don't want to build it yourself. Chimney or Vents: A wood-burning fireplace will require a chimney with a spark arrestor, while a gas-lit fireplace will only require vents. Your fireplace doesn't merely need to be a hearth. In fact, if you're building an outdoor fireplace, it makes sense to outfit it with other uses or aesthetic furnishings. Consider:  Built-in seating. Warming yourself by the heat of the hearth is a real treat, so why not build seat walls as an extension of the fireplace itself? It looks wonderful and adds instant charm to any outdoor fireplace. Wood storage. Convenient if you're building a wood-burning fireplace, a compartment or space for wood will make stoking the fire easy and painless.

First and foremost, when you begin laying out in the sun, only get 1-2 hours of exposure at a time. Skip a day or two before laying out again. Melanin, the pigment in your body that colors your skin, is activated when UVA and UVB rays from the sun hit your skin. When this happens, more melanin is produced as a form of sun block, or protection from sun damage. In this process your skin gets darker, producing a tan.The melanin in your body is not in unlimited supply, however, and takes a couple of days to reproduce enough to protect you from getting burned. So, when developing your base tan, take it slowly, and don’t tan every day.  Getting just one blistering sunburn while growing up doubles a person's chances of getting melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. And a person's risk of melanoma also doubles by getting more than five normal sunburns throughout their life.  Typically, everyone reaches a plateau in his or her tanning. They simply don’t get any darker.To maintain your tan, continue to regularly lay out and follow the steps discussed below. Exfoliating will remove dead skin, which blocks the sun’s rays. It also reduces your skin’s dryness, and dry skin doesn’t soak up the sun well. When exfoliating, use a loofah, a sponge or a fine-grade exfoliating bar of soap and scrub lightly all over your body while in the shower or bath. Apply a moisturizer after you dry off.  Don’t use harsh and abrasive exfoliators, or you’ll end up rubbing off some of your tan or end up with splotches on your body.  Don’t exfoliate after getting out of the sun. If you shower after going to the pool, for instance, exfoliate the next morning when you bathe. And don’t exfoliate every day. Twice a week is sufficient. Much more will strip away natural oils, leaving your skin overly dry. Applying sunscreen before stretching out on your beach towel might sound counterproductive, but using sunscreen will let you tan more gradually and, therefore, make your tan last longer. About 20-30 minutes before you get in the sun, apply a...

First and foremost, you should be aware that Euro bills come only in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500.  So, if you are handed a €15 note, reject it immediately.  Each legitimate Euro denomination also has a standard color palette and image style.  Euros feature distinctive styles of architectural imagery from different periods of European history.  The front of each bill shows a window, door, or gate motif; the rear, a bridge (along with a map of Europe). Five Euro bills feature Classical architecture and are predominantly gray in color. Ten Euro bills feature Romanesque architecture and are predominantly red in color. Twenty Euro bills feature Gothic architecture and are predominantly blue in color. Fifty Euro bills feature Renaissance architecture and are predominantly orange in color. One-hundred Euro bills feature Baroque / Rococo architecture and are predominantly green in color. Two-hundred Euro bills feature iron and glass architecture and are predominantly yellow-brown in color. Five-hundred Euro bills feature Modern architecture and are predominantly purple in color. Unlike U.S. currency, for instance, Euro bills are different sizes.  This hinders counterfeiting somewhat, but is mainly done for the benefit of the visually-impaired.  €5 = 120 x 62 mm €10 = 127 x 67 mm €20 = 133 x 72 mm €50 = 140 x 77 mm €100 = 147 x 82 mm €200 = 153 x 82 mm €500 = 160 x 82 mm Euros are made of 100% cotton fiber, which enhances durability and gives the bills a distinctive feel.  Real Euros should feel crisp and firm, and the print should feel raised in areas where the ink is thicker.  Fake Euros tend to feel limp and waxy to the touch, and often lack the raised print texture. The older and more worn the Euro bill is, the more difficult it may be to distinguish these features.  Even then, however, an experienced handler of Euros can likely tell the difference. The European Central Bank has over the past few years been slowly rolling out a new series of Euro bills.  These are widely known as the Europa...

First things first, grief is good. Emotion is good. Crying is good. Anger is good. Whatever it is, it's probably normal and needs to be let out. Once the hiding-under-the-covers phase is over, the process can start. But there's a definite linear process to letting go, and the hiding-under-the-covers phase (also known as the crying-over-a-tub-of-ice-cream phase or the less work-friendly dying-your-hair-a-strange-color phase) has to come first. Let it. The first thing you'll probably feel is denial, followed by anger. It won't sink in as real and then when it does, the words that were exchanged and the exchanges that were had will evoke frustration and pain. Instead of tormenting yourself not only for the break up but for how you're handling the break up, know that this is how it works. These emotions you're feeling are a part of you. You're not crazy and you're not worthless. You're just human. You may find yourself reliving all the great moments you had together. In bed, you'll be scanning them like a broken record. But if you had the person back, 10 minutes later you'd be thinking, "That's right. That's why it wasn't working." It's just hard to remember all the crap when you're caught up in such intense emotion. Know that if you do find yourself pining over great memories, you're not seeing it realistically.  If you need some science to back it up, know that emotion is proved to affect memory. So when you're searching desperately for the good, your mind may even formulate new twists to meet your current expectations. Basically, your memory is putting on rose-colored glasses to meet your current thought process. "Letting go" is basically a euphemism for forgetting. For not giving a care, anymore. This sounds a little harsh, so that's why it's given the friendlier term. That being said, distancing yourself from the person is the only way you can get on the fast-track to forgetting. You know that shirt you found in the back of your closet that made you say, "Oh my god, I loved this shirt! How in the world did I...

First, pick up your ball and head to the right spot in front of the bowling lane. Place your middle and ring finger in the top 2 holes and place your thumb into the bottom hole.  Hold the ball slightly to your side with your bowling hand underneath the ball and your other hand resting on the bottom side of the ball for extra support. Keep your thumb on top of the ball at 10:00 position if you're right-handed. Use the 2:00 position if you're a lefty. The standard approach consists of standing with your back straight, your shoulders centered squarely towards your target, and your knees slightly bent. Your ball arm should hand straight down by your side. Your back should be tilted slightly forward. Your feet should be slightly apart and your "slide foot" should be placed slightly in front of the other foot. Your slide foot will be the opposite of the hand you use to bowl (a right handed bowler will slide with their left foot). Your bowling lane should have a series of dots 7 feet (2.1 m) down the lane, and black arrows about fifteen feet down the lane. If you're a beginning bowler, you should aim to roll the ball in the center of these marks. Once you develop your bowling skills, you can aim to the left or the right of the marks when you hook the ball.  Even if you aim your ball through the center of the marks, you may not be able to hit the pins because the ball can slow down or roll off toward the gutters. Just notice where the ball rolls when you do and don't bowl a solid frame and adjust your aim accordingly. Focus on aiming at the marks, not the pins. Maintain a straight forward, non-twisting approach of your body, as your ball and hand position should be held relatively the same -- underneath and behind the ball during the swing. Swing your ball arm smoothly back and then forward to release the ball. Release the ball when your arm has moved as far forward as it can go.  When released properly, your thumb should come out first, followed by the fingers.  This should help get rotation on the ball, which...

First, preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Take the chestnut and place it between your index finger and thumb. Holding it firmly, use a serrated knife to make a long cut on the rounded top of the chestnut. Try to make the cut in one motion. The cut should be horizontal and penetrate all the way through the shell. If you can't make the cut in one motion, use a gentle sawing motion. Place the chestnuts in a small saucepan once all of them have been cut. Do not layer them on top of each other. Cover the chestnuts in water. Allow the water to simmer. Then, remove the chestnuts with a strainer before the water begins to boil. You can also use a slotted spoon to remove the chestnuts. Transfer the chestnuts from the strainer to a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. You may need to leave them in a little longer if the skins haven't peeled back after 15 minutes. After taking the chestnuts out of the oven, put them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel. Let the chestnuts sit for 15 minutes. The steam created in the covered bowl will make the chestnuts easier to peel. After 15 minutes, you should be able easily peel off the shells and skins with your hands. Some of the chestnuts may be slightly more difficult than others to peel. Throw out any chestnuts that are gooey or have disintegrated inside.

First, try to keep the dog calm. He or she may be stressed out and/or in pain, so it is best to try and calm the dog before a trip to the vet. This may require you to restrain the dog for its comfort and safety as well as your safety.  Sit on the ground with the dog and speak in soothing tones. If the dog is restless, you can try to use basic commands to get him to calm down. If commands don't work, you may need to use a leash or even a muzzle. Restraining the dog may be easier if you have someone to help you. Not all veterinarians may have experience removing nasal foxtails, so it would be a good idea to seek out a veterinarian who has experience with them. You may be able to see the foxtail in the dog's nose, but only a trained professional can ensure the foxtail is properly removed.   Call the veterinarian or check his or her website to see if you can verify whether he or she has foxtail experience. A foxtail in the nose could lead to a sinus infection or worse. The dog's nose is very sensitive, so anesthesia may very likely be required to safely remove the foxtail. Bring the dog to his or her office. Explain the symptoms that your dog has been exhibiting and that you suspect a nasal foxtail. If the veterinarian agrees with you after an examination, they can remove out the foxtail a number of ways.  The vet will most likely use an anesthetic. The vet might use an endoscope, which is a fine tube with a fiberoptic camera, passing it up the nose to check that it is a foxtail that is causing the problem. The vet can remove the foxtail using forceps or a grasper on the endoscope. A vet's forceps will have much longer and narrower arms than tweezers at home. The vet might flush the nasal cavity to remove all nasal debris. Do not poke up your dog's nose where you cannot see without a vet. If you can see the foxtail clearly on your dog's nose and cannot get your dog to a vet, you can try to remove the foxtail yourself. Use tweezers to get a firm grip on the foxtail. Pull gently but firmly along the long axis of...

First, wait for it to cool down until it's safe to handle. Then unscrew the top piece (the server) from its base (the boiler). Next, take the funnel out of the boiler and empty the grounds into the trash. Give the server, funnel, and boiler a thorough rinse both inside and out. Use your fingers or a clean, soapless sponge to rub away any visible residue that doesn't wash away with the water. Do not use dish soap or scrub too vigorously, though.  Dish soap will dull the pot's shine over time. It will also leave behind a lot of soapy residue, which will require excessive rinsing in order to avoid a soapy aftertaste to your next batch of coffee, especially if the pot is made from aluminum. Dish soap and/or excessive scrubbing will also strip the insides of the coffee's oils. These oils actually form a barrier that helps reduce the risk of corrosion from water. Give each piece a couple shakes to get rid of some of the water. Then wipe away as much excess as you can with a clean dishtowel. Next, use a fork or butter knife to remove the rubber gasket from the bottom of the server. Remove the funnel filter, too, so you can dry these two pieces individually, plus the bottom of the server. Place the pieces on a fresh towel or a drying rack. Leave until they have thoroughly dried. To ensure that no moisture collects (which can cause corrosion), store as is, in separate pieces, until next use, rather than put it back together again. If you use your pot on a daily basis, a quick rinse in hot water will suffice most of the time, since the coffee oil inside the pot protects it from corrosion. However, expect these oils to grow rancid over time. Give it a more thorough cleaning about once every week or two.

Fitted pieces do not mean “skin tight,” but they will brush against the natural contours of your body. You do not have to completely hide your curves to still be modest, though. Fitted pieces that lightly conform to your curves will actually make you look clean-cut and well-put-together. A-line skirts and pencil skirts are both timeless styles that look nice on most body types. Hemlines that fall at the knee, or thereabouts, are also the most universally flattering. Go for classics like boot-cuts or straight-legged pants. These tend to pull away just enough to allow your leg room to breathe, yet they still look flattering on most figures. If high necklines are your thing, try mixing in a few mandarin collars with your turtlenecks and crew necks, or look for a V-neck that still sits high on your chest. Do not be afraid of low necklines, since many of these tops can be worn modestly simply by layering a camisole or tank top beneath them. You have more options available than the simple t-shirt style short or long sleeve. Look for a few short-sleeve tops with cap or puff sleeves, or long-sleeve tops with kimono, lantern, or bell sleeves. Choosing a fashion-forward sleeve is a good way to stay modest while looking trendy. If your dress or skirt obeys most rules of modesty, but you still feel uncomfortable, cover your legs with nylon pantyhose. Plain nude or color styles work best, but you should avoid fishnets or nylons with patterns. If you have a knee-length skirt or maxi skirt, consider wearing heels to make your legs look a little longer. Longer legs look attractive, but they do not necessarily look immodest. The right heel will help you look confident and beautiful without looking sultry.

Fix the date, venue, (chief guest), staff, name of the event and tag-line. Is there anything that could go wrong? Any last minute switch-ups that could present themselves? At this juncture, everything should be written in permanent ink. Get approval for your budget, schedule, etc., from team members as well as supervisors. Right now is a good time to get all the questions sussed out. Does everyone know their obligations? Are they comfortable with any and all issues?  Once again, meet with team members and volunteers to brainstorm any problems that might arise.  This is also the perfect time to create an action plan. Make sure the team does not have any internal problems.  Stay in touch with all team leaders as well as team members and volunteers. If the event is a mega-event, let different people coordinate different activities, under the supervision of one person. The team leader should be trusted by the team members. It's a good idea to have one or two people dedicating their time to meeting and greeting and talking up the event as people filter in and the event gets started. Basically they're a reception committee, boosting morale and letting people know they're in good hands. You're probably on Facebook and Twitter, but there's a ton of other websites you can use, too, that can help you get the word out.

And, of course, your website/blog/Facebook page, if you have one. You can send out reminders, set up pictures, and monitor RSVPs. The more active you are, the more your presence will be known. If you're doing an event based around gardening or home decor or anything else creative, you'll can also use Pinterest.

Fixed costs are those that will remain constant even when production volume changes. Rent and administrative salaries are examples of fixed costs. Whether you produce 1 unit or 10,000, these costs will be about the same each month. Variable costs vary with production volume. For example, raw materials, packaging and shipping, and workers' wages are all variable costs. The more units you produce, the higher these costs will be.  Once you understand the difference between fixed and variable costs, classify each of your business's costs. Many costs, such as the examples mentioned above, will be easy to classify. Others may be more ambiguous. Some costs can be difficult to classify, not behaving in a strict fixed or variable pattern. For example, an employee may be paid a fixed salary in addition to a commission that varies with sales volume. These costs are best broken up into separate fixed and variable elements. In this case, only the employee's commission would be treated as a variable cost. After classifying all your variable costs, total them for a given time period. For instance, consider a simple manufacturing operation that has only 3 variable costs: raw materials, packaging and shipping, and workers' wages. The sum is your total variable cost.  Imagine the costs incurred for the most recent year are as follows: $35,000 of raw materials, $20,000 of packaging and shipping, and $100,000 in employee wages. The total variable costs for the year are therefore 35,000+20,000+100,000{\displaystyle 35,000+20,000+100,000}, or $155,000{\displaystyle \$155,000}. These costs are directly related to the production volume for that year. Dividing the total variable costs for a given time period by that period's production volume will yield the unit variable cost. Specifically, unit variable cost can be calculated as v=VQ{\displaystyle v={\frac {V}{Q}}}, where v is unit variable cost, V is total variable cost, and Q is the quantity produced. For example, if the business above produced 500,000 units of its product that...

Flats are ubiquitous in set design, as they are the foundation of any hand-made set. Flats are always 4x8 feet large, and are quickly and easily decorated to look like a home or room. Though it takes some carpentry and tools, flats are actually pretty easy to build. To make one 4x8 foot flat, you will need:  1 4x8' sheet of Masonite. 5 pieces of 1"x3"x8' wood for the frame. 1 4x8' sheet of plywood for the jack, or base. Wood glue and a box of 1.5" nails. Put the piece of wood on the ground so that you can accurately measure out the size of your frame on its back. The frame will surround the edges of the Masonite, like a picture frame. The 8-foot long wood should fit perfectly along the long sides of the Masonite. Make sure they are flush with the edges and that the thin side (1" thick) is the one touching the Masonite. The smaller end needs to go inside the longer pieces, so you'll have to cut one plank of wood roughly in half to make the frame. If you used 1-inch thick wood, the two shorter sides should be cut to 46-inches long, since the wood is 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, minus an inch for the width of the long planks on the edges. Still, you should make this measurement before cutting to double check. The entire outside edge of the wood sheet should be framed by your wooden planks, with the two shorter sides tucked inside the longer 8-foot planks. Cut a third piece to this exact length as well and fit it into the middle. The whole frame It will resemble a classic two-part window frame when you are done. Simply put a nail into every joint. You will be doing more work later to hold it together, so these 6 nails (2 for each horizontal slat) should be fine to start. You don't need too much, as you'll be using nails as well. Have a friend help make sure that the edges of the Masonite are flush with the frame. Start with the four corners, then put as many nails as possible into the board to attach it to the frame. Lay the piece down so that the wide side is flat in the center of the frame, then use a power drill to...

Flip the ears over, then slide your fingers into the pocket created by the foam and the fur. Slide your hot glue gun into the ear and draw a squiggle of hot glue along the foam. Slide the hot glue gun out, then press the fur down.  Repeat this step for the other ear. Leave the bottom edge un-glued. This will make it easier to attach the ears later on.

Foam rollers are a great way to release tense muscles. Look for a foam roller that is thick and long so you can position it under your legs comfortably. Some foam rollers also come with a textured or bumpy surface to help you get a deep massage. Foam rollers can range in price from $40-$100 USD, depending on the model. Flex your toes and bend your knees slightly. Slide the foam roller underneath your calf muscles, perpendicular to your body. Your calves should sit comfortable on top of the roller. Place your hands behind you and raise your hips so your weight is on your hands and calves. Gently push the roller up and down under your calf muscles to help release them. Continue to roll out your calf muscles for 5-10 minutes. Try rolling very slowly to get deeper into your muscles. Rolling out your calf muscles with the foam roller can really help to loosen up this area and prevent them from tightening up in the future. Get in the habit of rolling out your calf muscles after a workout or strenuous activity.

Focus on keeping fluids down. This means if you are vomiting everything out, your primary objective should be to alleviate the nausea and to prevent the vomiting. Without fluids, your illness could cause dehydration and will slow your recovery. Many people like to drink a plain carbonated beverage, such as lemon-lime soda, to treat their nausea. Others advocate the use of ginger to calm nausea. Diarrhea can be described as liquid stool, frequent stool but  watery stool here really is the definition of the term. Patients may experience it differently. However, if you are losing fluids via diarrhea you will need to replace these losses with electrolytes containing formulas such as (Gatorade, Pedialyte) as well as water. Because electrolytes specifically, potassium, are key in the electrical conduction of the heart, and potassium is lost with diarrhea, you must be especially alert to keeping electrolytes on board.  There are different opinions as to whether it is better to let the viral illness “out” or to stop it with constipating anti-diarrheal agents. Most doctors agree that anti-diarrhea medications can make the symptoms last longer. Consult your doctor before taking one. The combination of vomiting and diarrhea will make dehydration your primary complication. Adults that are dehydrated will notice that they are dizzy when they stand, have a racing pulse when standing, have dry oral mucosa, or a feeling of being very weak. Part of the problem with dehydration is that it brings with it a lack of important electrolytes, such as potassium. Replace these losses with fluids that contain electrolytes, such as Gatorade or Pedialyte, as well as drinking water. If you are losing a fair amount of fluids and your diarrhea is severe, you should see your physician. They will help determine if you are in fact only suffering from viral gastroenteritis and begin treatment. There are other illnesses, such as bacterial infections, parasitic causes, or an intolerance to lactose or sorbitol that could also be causing your...

Follow the 16th anniversary color. Yes, there are also colors for each anniversary year. Some people believe that you can also choose aquamarine for the 16th, even though that has more of a bluish hue.  If you want to follow the rules, the color for the 16th is emerald green. Emerald green can mean gem stones, especially if your significant other is a woman. If you’re buying for a man or a woman who is not a fan of gems, you could choose a light green shirt or a tasteful green tie. The 16th anniversary also has a gemstone. It’s golden topaz. You’re lucky about that one. The soft yellow/bronze color is very beautiful.  In addition to being the traditional gemstone for the 16th anniversary, topaz is a great choice for that anniversary because it’s relatively lower in cost than some other jewels. This can matter because, for many couples, the 16th comes in the midst of big mortgage payments and costs of child rearing (although not always).Examples of topaz related gifts are topaz pendants, earrings, beaded necklaces, cufflinks, and money clips. Peridot is vivid green gemstone with an undertone of gold. It looks very good with summer wardrobes and is so ancient that it’s been found in Egyptian jewelry dating to the 2nd millennium B.C. Yes, there’s a traditional themed flower for the 16th wedding anniversary. It’s the statice or sea lavender   An alternative to the statice flower is the silver rose. The statice flower is said to emphasize enduring beauty, memory and success. That’s why it’s a great choice for the 16th, which is a marriage that has endured. What is the statice flower? It’s often considered a herb and is sometimes called “sea lavender.” It has a seafoam appearance and is sometimes called “marsh-rosemary.” You will often see it in dried flower arrangements because of its hardy appearance.

Follow the instructions for Cleaning a Deep Fryer to give your commercial fryer a basic cleaning. The frequency of this cleaning will depending on how frequently the fryer is used, and for what purpose, but the more often you do it, the easier it will be to remove the grease residue and caked on food. Since commercial fryers tend to be large and deep, you should use a long-handled brush with soft bristles to scrub the pot, instead of a sponge. For heavy restaurant use, oil often needs to be filtered once or twice a day. While you can filter the oil for reuse by putting it through a coffee filter or cheesecloth, a restaurant operation would probably benefit from a specialized machine that filters quickly at higher temperatures. Whenever the oil grows darker in color, smokes at lower temperatures, or gives off a strong smell, it needs to be replaced completely. Your oil will last longer at temperatures of 375ºF (191ºC) or below, and if you do not add salt directly to the oil. Before the new or filtered oil is added back to the fryer, use a long-handled fryer scrubbing brush to remove bits of food from the coils. This keeps the heating element effective and limits burned food particles in your oil. While cleaning the rim and outside surface of your fryer will not help the fryer function longer, it will stop it collecting grime and limit spillovers that make floors and work surfaces slippery. Try to wipe it clean at the end of each day, and apply a degreasing product to the exterior whenever a grease film has built up. Let the degreasing product sit for ten minutes, then rinse off with a damp cloth. Dry with a different, clean cloth. To thoroughly clean your commercial fryer, you should fill it with warm water and heat to a simmer or slow boil. Add a specialized "boil out" product according to manufacturer's instructions and maintain the simmer for 20 minutes. Wearing rubber gloves and taking care to avoid burns from splashes, use a long-handled soft-bristled brush to dislodge stuck food. Drain the fryer, then...

Follow the lizard’s tracks and look for the imprint of the lizard’s belly scales in the nearby dirt.  These are signs that a lizard hole is nearby.  Locate the hole and wait until you actually see the lizard go into it before proceeding with the lizard-catching process.  Otherwise, you run the risk of the lizard not being there. The hole may be completely revealed.  If it is completely revealed, your job is done.  If it is not revealed, you are dealing with a species that leaves a thin layer of dirt between the hole and the earth above.  Scrape the surface of the sand in a 1.5 meter (4.9 ft) radius around the opening of the lizard’s hole with a shovel to locate the exit hole.  When you notice the dirt or sand collapsing in at the shovel’s touch, you’ve located the exit hole. Find the midpoint between the exit and entrance holes and position yourself there.  Once you’ve located the midpoint, get a friend to stand guard at the exit hole and another to guard the entrance hole.  They should be ready to grab the lizard if it makes a run for it. Stomp down hard on the earth above the midpoint between the exit and entrance holes you located.  This will loosen the sand within and above the burrow.  Thrust your hand deeply into the loose earth.  Feel around for the lizard.  Grip it in your hand and pull it out of the ground.

Follow the rules for 6-card golf, but give each player a 4x2 or 5x2 grid.  This will make the game quite a bit longer and may require an additional deck of cards shuffled with the other(s). Follow the rules for 4-card golf, but give each player a hand of four cards instead of a grid.   Players can look at all cards in their hand at any time. Any two cards in hand cancel out if they have the same value. There is no "grid position" in your hand. This creates a short simple game with no need to memorize cards. Follow the rules for 6-card golf, but give each player a 3x3 grid.   Each player turns up 3 cards instead of 2 at the start of the game. A player can only cancel cards by getting 3 of a kind in the same row or column. When they do, they can remove those 3 cards and place them at the bottom (NOT the top) of the discard pile. This will make the game quite a bit longer and may require an additional deck of cards shuffled with the other(s). There are many different ways to play 6-card golf, and different families and gaming groups will have their own rules. Here are some common ones:   When you flip over your first two cards, they have to be in the same column, or they must be in different columns.  Two of the same card anywhere on the layout cancel out, not just in the same column. This makes the game easier for younger players or beginners.  If you have two columns next to each other with FOUR of the same card in them, they cancel out to zero points AND each other player gets 10 points added to their score this round.  Players can only draw from the top of the draw pile during the final turns, not the discard pile. Again, there are many ways to play. Here are some common additions or changes to the rules:   You can only peek at the two cards closest to you. Pairs across from each other diagonally also cancel out. Pairs don't cancel out at all. The only goal is to take the lowest cards and try to end the game when you think you're ahead. Players can only draw from the top of the draw pile during the final turns.

Fonts are a common way to transmit viruses, so take care to only download fonts from trusted sources, and avoid any fonts that come in EXE format. Fonts typically come packed into ZIP files, or in TTF or OTF format. A few of the more popular font sites include the following:  dafont.com fontspace.com fontsquirrel.com 1001freefonts.com If your font downloads in a ZIP folder, double-click the folder, then click Extract at the top of the window, click Extract all, and click Extract at the bottom of the window. Skip this step if the font downloads in TTF or OTF format, not in a ZIP folder. Doing so will open the font in a preview window. It's at the top of the preview window. Since installing a font requires administrator permissions, you may be prompted to confirm this step. If you aren't on an administrator account, you can't install a font. This will usually only take a few seconds. Once the font is installed on your computer, it will be accessible by any programs which use system fonts, including Microsoft Word.

Food can get stuck in the lids and blades over time, which will cause mold. Rinse off the lids and blade assembly under hot water after every use. Be extra cautious when handling the blades. They are very sharp. Use hot water and mild dish soap to clean out the pitcher and/or cups. Use a sponge to scrub off any food particles. Then, rinse off the soap residue with warm water. Although it’s recommended to wash your blender by hand, the pitcher, cups, lids, and blade assemblies are safe for dishwasher use. Put the blades and lids on the top rack of your dishwasher. It does not matter where you put the pitcher or cups. The cups, lids, and blade assemblies are dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to wash them by hand because this is the gentlest method of cleaning. The base of the blender may get dusty or stain over time from dropped ingredients. Wipe the base off with a clean, damp cloth. Do not get the cord or any electrical outlet wet.

Food in its most natural form--such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables--take a bit of work to digest. This is a good thing! This fuels your metabolism, burns calories, and keeps you fuller longer. If you’re not used to consuming whole, unprocessed foods, this may take a bit of planning.  Choose steel-cut oats, or even whole rolled oats, over instant. Try other whole grains, such as quinoa, for breakfast. Include lots of fresh vegetables. Include some fruit. If you are busy in the morning, it may help you to prepare breakfast for yourself the night before. One great option is to cook steel-cut oats in a slow cooker. When you wake up, you can just grab breakfast and go.  Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats, 1 peeled and chopped apple, ½ cup raisins, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 3 ½ cups water (or unsweetened almond milk) to your slow cooker. Close the lid and cook on low for 7+ hours. Wake up to a delicious aroma and a fresh, hot breakfast! If you don’t feel very hungry in the morning, making a smoothie might be a great way to get your nutrients and kick start your metabolism. This is also a great choice for breakfast on the go. You can throw the ingredients in your blender the night before. Then just wake up, blend, and hit the road.  Use 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or coconut water as your base (or ½ cup of each). Add ½ banana, 5 frozen strawberries, and 1/3 cup frozen kale or spinach. Add a scoop of protein powder of your choice (follow serving directions on packaging; look for something low in sugar). Add 1/2 Tbs. of almond butter. Add 1 tsp. of flax seed and 1 tsp. of chia seeds. Blend until smooth and enjoy! This smoothie contains fruit, veggies, healthy fats, protein, and fiber.

Food is essential to life. If the cat has pain (dental, arthritic, or abdominal are the most common in older pets) then it may inhibit her from eating because it hurts to get up and do so.  Another example is the cat that eats but regularly vomits food back up. Either of these scenarios are a cause for worry and will result in the cat losing weight. Weight loss in itself is not an indication for euthanasia but if the cat's body score falls to around 1.5 / 5 the cat is likely to feel weak, and lacking in energy. If there is no prospect of her gaining weight, you must consider euthanasia. If the body score falls further, to 1/5 then it is time to let her go. A body score is a simple way of assessing how fat or thin your cat is. It consists of a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being obese and 1 emaciated. An ideal body score is around 3.   Score 1: Ribs, spine, and pelvis are visibly sticking out, even at a distance. The cat has no body fat and looks starved and bony.  Score 2: Ribs, spine, and pelvis are easily felt. Viewed from above, the cat has a distinct waist, and from the side the belly is tucked up. The cat looks thin.  Score 3: Ribs and spine can be felt but not seen. The cat has a slight waist when viewed from above, and a level, but not saggy tummy from the side. Ideal.  Score 4: Ribs and spine difficult to locate. Pear-shaped tummy from above and sagging down from the side. Can be described as chunky or stout.  Score 5: Bony landmarks obscured by fat. Thick cover of fat over chest and tummy. Oval silhouette. Obese. Elderly cats need to drink more than young, fit cats. This is because their kidney function often relies on drinking to flush toxins out of the system. The cat needs to be mobile enough to get up and walk to the water bowl, with minimum discomfort.  Cats in pain will not get up unless it is essential.  They are likely to wait longer between drinks and are prone to dehydration, which in turn puts a strain on their kidneys and makes them more likely to feel nauseous and increasing unwell from the...

Food poisoning can cause several symptoms, which may vary slightly depending on the severity of the poisoning. Symptoms may start as soon as several hours after eating the contaminated food, or as late as several weeks afterwards. Food poisoning generally lasts between 1-10 days, and even healthy people can end up hospitalized due to food poisoning.  If you do have any of the following symptoms, you may be experiencing food poisoning:   Stomach cramps or pain Nausea Vomiting, which can be severe  Diarrhea, which can be explosive Increased temperature, fever   Headaches, throat aches General flu-like symptoms Sudden tiredness, loss of energy and/or a desire to sleep   See your doctor if you can't keep liquids down or become dehydrated, see blood in your vomit, experience diarrhea for more than 3 days, experience extreme abdominal pain, or have an oral temperature higher than 101.5 F. Food poisoning is caused by ingesting food or drink that has been contaminated with either:  Chemicals such as insecticides or food toxins including fungi (e.g. poisonous mushrooms). Or gastrointestinal infections of bacteria, viruses or parasites. Most people refer to food poisoning as covering any of those possible sources. Environmental factors and the food growing process can both play a role in the transfer of potential food-contaminating bacteria.  The use of chemicals, fertilizers, manures etc. all have the potential to contaminate food as it is being grown. Never hold an expectation that an item is washed before it leaves the farm. Bacteria, parasites etc. travel happily in the wind, float in the water, hitch lifts with dust and reside snugly in the soil. They are a part of nature's web of life and will always be a possible source of contamination if not dealt with appropriately as part of a consistent and dedicated approach to food hygiene. Whether in a large factory or in your own kitchen, food processing can be a major source of contamination.  Areas used for processing need to be kept scrupulously clean or...

Foods that are high in carbohydrates can help you feel warm, sleepy and comfortable. Having a heavy meal before bed is no good, but you don't want to go to bed hungry, either. If your growling stomach is keeping you up, try a bowl of low-sugar whole grain cereal, toast with jam or jelly, vanilla wafers, or whole wheat crackers with cheese. Sipping on something warm and calming can relax your body and mind. A cup of warm milk or herbal tea are great options. Herbal teas made from chamomile or lavender can be particularly effective sleep aids. Avoid anything with caffeine, and don't drink too much of anything at bedtime. Drinking a lot just before bed could cause you to wake up needing a bathroom break. Like chamomile tea, a chamomile supplement could help you doze off faster. You could also try valerian root, which is one of the oldest herbal remedies recommended for insomnia. Talk to your doctor before taking any herbal supplements, especially if you take a prescription medication. Melatonin is the hormone responsible for inducing sleepiness when it gets dark outside. There isn't much known about long-term use of melatonin supplements, but taking one nightly before bed for less than a month is safe.  Melatonin can also be found in bananas, oats, pineapple, oranges, tomatoes, and cherries. As with herbal remedies, consult your doctor before taking melatonin supplements.

Foot lock stoppers are the simplest type of drain mechanism. All you need to do is rotate the stopper, or the part that moves up and down to open and close the drain. Pull up as you twist it counterclockwise until it lifts out of the drain flange.  Make sure the stopper is in the open position. You won’t be able to unscrew it if it’s closed. The drain flange, or drain basket, is the body that connects the tub and stopper to the waste pipe. Lift-and-turn drains and some foot lock drains may have a screw in the center of the stopper that holds it in place. If there’s no visible screw, see if you can pop or twist off a cap on the stopper’s top. Then, using a screwdriver, turn the screw counterclockwise and lift the stopper out of the drain flange. Some lift-and-turn drains simply twist out, so see if you can remove your stopper by turning it clockwise if you can’t find any screws. Start by removing the screws that secure the overflow faceplate. Take off the overflow plate, and pull the linkage rod and plunger out of the overflow hole. Then remove any screws that secure the drain plate, and lift it out of the drain flange.  The overflow faceplate is the part with the lever on the tub wall beneath the faucet. The linkage connects the lever to a plunger, which drops down to stop the tub when the lever is down. You may also need to pull out lower linkage when you remove the drain plate.
