You may spend hours each day obsessing over certain videos or fantasize about sex in a way that takes away from you living your life. How much is your perversion preventing you from living a productive or happy life? Do people get hurt? How are these thoughts and behaviors causing problems?  Reflect on how your thoughts and actions affect your day-to-day life and how your life would change if they were to disappear. Would you free up more time? Would you feel better about yourself? Would other people think differently of you? Keep in mind that sexual thoughts are natural and not evil. If you have heard that thinking about sex makes you an evil person or that you will be punished because if these thoughts, keep in mind that everyone has these thoughts and they are natural. Especially during your teen years, you will have a wide range of sexual thoughts that are a normal part of exploring your sexuality. Healthy sexuality can be difficult to understand. For instance, some people enjoy engaging in casual sex while to others this practice would be horrifying; some people enjoy masturbation while others are embarrassed or refuse to masturbate. Defining healthy sexuality means doing what feels healthy for you in a way that enriches your life. It means feeling sexually fulfilled and happy without having residual feelings of shame or hatred toward yourself. Keep in mind that by nature, humans are sexual beings and it is okay and completely normal to have sexual desires and feelings. While you are trying to lessen your perceived perverted thoughts, it’s important to also decide what you do consider healthy. Don’t focus on removing all sexuality from your life. Instead, focus on creating a healthy sexual atmosphere for yourself, in your body and within your mind. Remember that it is not realistic to hold yourself to a standard of not having any sexual thoughts or desires. You do, however, have control over your behaviors.  Write a list of what you believe healthy sexuality is to you. Focus on defining healthy thoughts...

You may think that the mature thing to do is to continue to hang out with the guy at parties, to text him when you think of something funny that reminds you of him, or even to grab an awkward lunch with him once every week or two. While trying to form a friendship after your heart has healed can be a good move, trying to stay in touch with the guy when you’re still in pain is only going to prolong the hurt and will make you take twice as long to get over him. Take his number out of your phone if you have to. Be polite if you see him in the same place, but don’t go out of your way to make conversation. Avoid places where he’s likely to be if you can. You may think that you’re doing a great job of forgetting the guy because you’ve stopped talking to him and haven’t seen him for a while, but if you’re still constantly talking about him, then you’re not helping yourself move on. It can be a great relief to share your sad feelings with a close friend, but if all you do is mope about the guy to every person you see, then you won’t be any closer to forgetting him. And if you see mutual friends or people who know him, avoid the temptation to ask how he’s doing. What good will that do you? Though you shouldn’t drop everything if absolutely everything you do reminds you of the guy, do as much as you can to avoid the triggers that are more likely to make you think about him and feel sad. Put away that Macklemore CD he gave you for your birthday and avoid going to baseball games after school if you know he’ll be there watching too. Don’t go to your favorite coffee shop or restaurant if all you’ll do is think of all the fun times you’ve had there; instead, go somewhere new. Know your triggers and make a plan to move around them. Take a different route to school to avoid the place where you had your first kiss if you have to. Avoid the temptation to click on his Facebook profile every fifteen minutes to see if someone posted a new photo of him with his arm around some new girl who is way less hot than you. Even if clicking...

You may think you know what kind of guy you are looking for until one surprises you. Taking risks and going with the flow leads to more experiences and more connections.  Say "yes." If you're interested in a guy, don't shut down the conversation. He loves snowboarding? Great! Maybe you know nothing about it, but could he take you next week? Play along. If he's teasing you, don't over-analyze. Tease him back! Show him you can be sharp, funny, and take a joke, too. A confident, dynamic, open girl is hard to resist. Being yourself and showing him your best qualities is the only way to market yourself.  Are you funny? Crack a joke! If you're strong, embrace it! Never alter your personality for who you think someone else wants you to be. It won't stick. Share your interests. You'll never know if you have something in common if you don't talk about yourself. Letting him get to know you allows him to see how unique you are. Talk about your life. Including him in on your friends and family will make him feel more attached to you. After all, they're the ones who have shaped you. While being mysterious can be attractive, you want to show him you're a real person who can be trusted. We can never guess who we'll click with. If you've made a connection with a guy, be sure to follow up. If he's coming off as unavailable, no problem.  He's laughing, you're laughing, and you've been talking for ages. Don't be afraid to take it to the next level. Find something he's interested in and make a suggestion to do it together. If he's interested, he'll take the conversation and run with it. If a guy you're attracted to isn't attracted to you back, there's no use in even thinking about it; it could be one of a million reasons. He could be in a relationship, newly single and not ready, or just not feeling it at the moment. Remember: don't take it personally. He is one of billions of guys. You'll be fine. Mostly likely you'll forget it about when...wait. Who's that cute guy over there?

You may try to hide your OCD from those around you out of fear or shame. You also might experience fears or doubts about being in a relationship and having it continue on if the person knows you have OCD. Talk to one person you trust about your OCD. Tell this person what makes you feel scared or ashamed. It might be scary, but it can also feel like a relief not to keep everything a secret. You may come to find that sharing your secrets and experiences is not as difficult as you imagined, and that people are willing to support you. Your shame may make you feel like you want to or need to isolate yourself from other people. You might find it hard to be around others or fear going outside or being in public. These feelings can lead to intense shame and isolation. However, isolation does not help you deal with your difficult emotions and often increases OCD symptoms.  Make a point to spend time with friends and family. Even if they are far away, schedule phone calls or video calls to keep in touch. One way to feel less isolated is to adopt a pet. A dog can provide companionship and help to reduce anxiety. For more information, check out How to Adopt a Pet from a Shelter. Getting into the habit of practicing relaxation exercises can help reduce anxiety and increase feelings of well-being and calm. This can help decrease your anxiety and other negative emotional experiences, such as shame. Include relaxation as part of every day to experience long-lasting results. Schedule time each day to practice relaxation. You can start with 10 minutes and adjust the time as needed. If you want to try different relaxation techniques, try qi gong, yoga, or meditation. Find an OCD support group near you. You may be able to find in a mental health clinic near where you live or find some online resources. A support group can help you make connections and realize that you do not suffer alone. They are often organized by people with a disorder or a mental health professional and function to bring people together who each suffer from...

You can start by finding tutors within your personal network and through recommendations, and then expand to building a following online. One way to build a network of recommenders could be to offer a “free” lesson to interested parties, such as teachers or parents. That way they can see what clients are getting, and will be more comfortable recommending your services. Craigslist is a huge online platform that reaches lots of people in your area. Ads are usually free. Post a listing that clearly describes your services, availability, contact information, and rates. Craigslist has a “lessons & tutoring” section of their website under the “Services” category. Post your ad in this section for the best exposure. There are several websites where you can sign up as a freelancer available for hire. Create a profile, explain your skills, and market your services.  Popular freelancing websites include Upwork and College Recruiter. Some freelancing websites, like guru.com, freelancer.com, and upwork.com, also post requests from clients looking to hire people for certain types of work. You can search these websites for potential tutoring clients. Most potential clients will want to interview you before hiring you. They may do this over email, phone, or request an in-person meeting if they live in your area. You should be prepared to answer the following types of questions:  What kind of training or credentials do you have in your subject or area? Have you tutored before? Are you experienced with different learning styles? How would you help me with _____...

You may want to gather most of your hair, except for the bottom layer, and clip it to the side so you can focus on one section at a time. Then, use the comb or chopstick to separate a 1-2 inch section of hair.  If your hair is thick, you may use 1 inch sections so the toilet paper stays in place more effectively. Once you have a section of hair, spritz it with water using the spray bottle. You just want it to be a little damp so it will hold the curl. You should let your curled hair stay in overnight so the curls can set. You may need to sleep on your back so the side sections of your hair do not get messed up. You can also try sleeping on one side, carefully pushing the toilet paper rolls away from your face. If you are in a rush, you can also use a blow dryer to set the curls. You may need to blow dry your hair for 10 to 20 minutes, moving the dryer around your head, to make sure the curls stay in.

You may want to hide your depression due to shame, guilt, or confusion about why you are feeling negative, sad, and alone. Though you may try to maintain an outside appearance to show everything is okay, hiding your feelings of depression will not allow you to get the help you need. Consider sharing your feelings with a close friend, family member, or your partner or spouse. Being honest about your feelings can often make you feel better and help you work with others to find ways to recover from depression. Your workplace’s Human Resources representative may be a good resource to confide in if you decide to share your feelings of depression. Set up a one-on-one meeting with your company’s HR person so you can discuss your depression and how you feel it is affecting your workplace performance. Your HR person should offer you support options like a leave of absence from work, a depression support group contact, or a therapist through the company’s medical insurance. Many workplaces have resources available for employees who are struggling with depression and do not want it to negatively affect their careers. To get hands-on help for your depression, you may consider hiring a therapist or a counselor who specializes in depression. Ask friends who also struggle with depression to refer you to a therapist or talk to your company’s HR for a contact for a counselor. You may also be able to hire a therapist through your personal healthcare plan. You can also talk to individuals who are professionally trained to deal with depression through a depression hotline in your state or country. You can do an online search for depression hotlines you can access toll free, 24 hours a day, in your area or call the national depression hotline at: 1-800-442-HOPE (4673). The combination of psychological counseling and medication has been proven to be very effective for individuals suffering from depression.

You might feel ashamed or guilty about letting your life get out of hand or for the actions you've taken to get you to this point. Maybe you've messed up the last few months or have gone down a bad road. This doesn't mean that you've ruined your whole life. You've made good decisions in the past and you'll make more good decisions in the future. It's possible to move forward despite your setbacks. Believe that you can adjust your negative or addiction-related thoughts. Act as if addiction is not a problem or as though you can approach situations as others do. Believe that you can handle stressors that you've not handled well in the past and this will help you actually achieve it. One way to build your belief is by using coping strategies to deal with stress. If stress used to lead you to destructive behaviors, replace them with more positive behaviors such as journaling, listening to music, writing, or going on a walk. Instead of beating yourself up or blaming yourself for all the harm you've caused, practice being gentle with yourself. When you notice yourself being harsh or self-critical, use a more positive inner dialog instead. For example, if you notice that you're getting down on yourself, say, “I have made mistakes, as all humans do. I can still love and accept myself despite the mistakes I've made.” After setbacks, do you tend to stay negative or in a rut for some time afterward? Practice responding to negative emotions with more positive emotions. For example, if you feel down or depressed, think of something that makes you feel happy or grateful. Ask yourself, “What positive meaning can I take from this? How has this positively affected my life?” Using positive emotions can help you build resilience, which is a key element to bouncing back. Building a sense of meaning from a situation can help you approach it more positively. For example, you may recognize the preciousness of life when you have a near-death encounter or receive a medical diagnosis. . Being able to regulate your emotions is a crucial...

You might have heard someone recommend soaking your leather boot to wear it in faster. Even if this works, you risk damaging the material and it may shrink back as it dries. When stretching your boots with ice, be careful to only use freezer safe bags and make sure the seal will hold tightly. They can weaken the material. If the boots do get wet, let them dry naturally rather than putting them in front of a fire to minimize shrinking. Use moderation when stretching your boots with a hairdryer for exactly this reason. If walking in the boot causes you pain, you'll need a stronger and safer method than simply "walking it in." Try stretching it with ice, or use a shoe stretcher for even greater adjustments.

You might not really be able to control the fact that he’s popping into your head a lot, but you can control your actions. Try not to constantly talk to your friends about him. Don’t stalk him on social media. Avoiding some of these behaviors will allow your mind to be occupied by other thoughts and will help you keep a more logical mindset. This is easier said than done; getting attention is fun and flattery is nice to hear. You’ll have a much easier time not falling for him if you aren’t around him all the time or texting him constantly. It’ll be a lot easier to maintain balance and to not get swept up in your emotions if you aren’t hasty about bringing him into your day-to-day life.  Try making a commitment to yourself to only hang out with him once a week at the most. Keep your phone in your purse or in another room when you’re hanging out with friends and family members to keep yourself from texting him too much. It’s okay to have thoughts about what material you want your wedding dress to be made of and what you might name your kids one day, but you’re getting ahead of yourself if you’re thinking about this new guy in that picture. There’s always a chance that this will be the guy who will be a part of those moments, but for now, just focus on enjoying getting to know each other.  Ask him about his favorite movies, music, sports, and more. Acknowledging that this point in time is all about learning who each other are may keep you from thinking so far into the future. Enjoy your “firsts”. There will only be one first date or first kiss. Keep your thoughts about him focused on those big, exciting moments as they happen.

You might occasionally encounter sources that don’t provide you with the author’s name. Shorten the title by skipping words like “the,” “an,” and other non-specific words that won’t help the reader identify the source. Instead, use the first 2 or 3 major words of the title. Italicize book titles and put article titles, encyclopedia entries, and the names of websites inside quotation marks. For example, an in-text citation for the encyclopedia entry “Halloween” in the Encyclopedia of American Studies (2016) would look like this: “(“Halloween,” 2006).” List the authors’ last names in the order they appear on the title page. If there are just 2, separate them with “&.” If there are between 3 and 5, separate all of the last names with commas and add “&” before the final author’s last name. After you do this in 1 citation, replace all but the first author’s last name with “et al” in the rest of your citations.  For example, the in-text citation for The Gothic World of Anne Rice, edited by Gary Hoppenstand and Ray B. Browne (1996) would look like this, “(Hoppenstand & Browne, 1996)” for the first citation and this, “(Hoppenstand et al., 1996)” for every subsequent citation. For sources with 6 or more authors, you’ll replace all but the first author’s last name with “et al” in all of your in-text citations. Some sources will be written by organizations (like the American Psychological Association) rather than single authors. Use the full name of the organization in the first in-text citation and place the official abbreviation inside brackets. For subsequent in-text citations, use only the official abbreviation.  If you were citing the 6th edition of the APA’s Publication Manual (2009), for example, your first in-text citation would look like this: “(American Psychological Association [APA], 2009).” You’ll be able to tell if an organization has an official abbreviation by looking at documents or publications prepared by that organization. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) refers to itself as “WHO” on...

You might think that staying silent will make you look stupid but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Don’t feel like you need to state a fact every few minutes or drive the conversation in order to look smart. Saying something just for the sake of saying something can easily lead you to say something that is wrong or even might sound stupid. Instead, if you don’t know anything about the conversation or topic and even if you don’t have anything significant to add, just stay quiet. Staying quiet makes it look like you’re thinking about the situation and thinking a situation through is a clear sign of intelligence. By saying nothing, you’ll actually be making yourself sound more intelligent. We associate some things with sounding intelligent but people that are actually smart will know what you’re doing if you try to fake it. They’ll also know when these indicators of intelligence aren’t actually an indication of intelligence at all. Focus on just being yourself instead of creating an act to make you sound smarter. The best example of this is with accents. You might think that having a posh London accent makes you sound smarter, but accents are hard to fake. You’ll be caught and you’re more likely to look foolish than intelligent. Have you ever sat down and listened to a really dumb conversation? Think about how the conversation actually went. Most of the time, you’ll notice one common theme: the conversation never actually goes anywhere. People will talk and argue with each other just so that they have something to say. This is normal (people want to feel heard) but when you haven’t got very much going on upstairs, you’ll be more likely to have more of a two-sided monologue than a conversation. Conversations should be an equal exchange that follows a path until it gets somewhere, not just you talking about nothing to someone who is also talking about nothing. Finally, act confident when you talk. If you’re really good at projecting confidence, people are much more likely to believe just about anything you...

You must have endurance. Work on basic calisthenics like push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and squats. These are the basic building blocks for practicing parkour. Experts say you should be capable of performing 25 push-ups, 5 pull-ups and 50 full squats before you formally get started in parkour. Parkour entails a lot of vertical movement. High jumps can be painful if you don't know how to land properly or safely fall, then end with a move. You should start off with a jump between 1/2 a meter to 1 meter. Land on the front part of your feet with your legs bent and if you have jumped from a higher distance then perform a forwards roll. To do this roll you should roll on your shoulders, not on your back! If you roll on your back, you may do serious damage to your body. These more difficult maneuvers are designed to get you up and around obstacles in the urban landscape. As you begin to practice more frequently, you will learn which moves you prefer and develop your own unique style for practicing them. Like all sports, parkour requires regular training to be effective, otherwise your skills will drop off. Practice at least two or three times a week, and make sure to maintain your basic skills while moving on to more difficult maneuvers. Begin to drill the techniques that you have created, establish new ways of moving through experimentation, and find new paths and environments to master through self exploration. When you are in tune with yourself, no one knows what works better for your body than you. Start with a slow, safe pace. Trace a path between two points over and over until you are a master of your territory. You should notice a gradual increase in your speed, endurance, and the ease with which you transition between obstacles. This progression can take hours, days, and even years depending on the path you choose, your natural ability, and several other factors. The important thing is to continue progressing no matter how slowly. This method is the essence of Parkour, and will lay the foundation to understand...

You must have lived in the UK for the past 3 years and not have been out of the country more than 270 days in that time period or 90 days in the last year. You must have some type of visa to live in the UK. Generally, for this type of citizenship, you'd have a partner visa, but you may have also been in the UK under other visas, such as a visitor visa or a student visa. You must be of legal age to gain citizenship this way in the UK. That is, you don't have any serious recent crimes on your record. This requirement is also called being of sound mind. Essentially, the government wants to know you are entering into the marriage and country of your own free will. You must prove you can speak English, which is expanded on below. This test covers British culture, life, and government, and you'll find more information on it below. This means that you must be granted the right to live in the UK without a specific date to leave. Every application costs to fill out and send in. You have three ways you can apply for citizenship: 1) Pull the form from online, fill it out, and mail it in; 2) Visit your local NCS, and they will help you fill it out; or 3) Use a private agency or individual, who can also help you fill it out.

You need to drink about 5 ounces of fluids an hour to avoid dehydration. That’s roughly equivalent to filling a standard coffee mug half full, or about one third of a water bottle. You should also eat a small snack every hour or so to help supply your body with energy to produce heat. Use your watch, rather than your cellphone or a clock in your vehicle that relies on your vehicle’s battery, to keep track of the time. If you don’t have a watch, try to gauge the time by observing the sun as it moves through the sky.  Avoid caffeine and alcohol. They both, in their own ways, speed up the bad effects cold weather has on your body even if one or the other may seem to help. Your goal is to regulate your body’s temperature, fluid levels and blood sugar levels as much as possible and to make your supplies last. Because you have a limited number of water bottles or do not have fluids at all, you’ll need to melt snow. First, however, never eat snow, no matter how thirsty you are. It can lower your body temperature to dangerous levels. If you’ve prepared in advance, you have a coffee can, waterproof matches and a couple of candles. To melt snow, fill the can loosely about ½ to ¾ full and light either a couple of matches or a candle to hold underneath the can. Don’t pack the snow into the can.  Make sure to crack a window while you’re doing this because even small candles and matches can produce carbon monoxide. If you don’t have these supplies, look around you. What’s metal or plastic that can be emptied or pried apart and used to collect and put snow in, such as a plastic bag from the grocery store or even your glove compartment? When you turn your vehicle on, direct the vents toward the snow to melt it. If you’re out of gas, put smaller amounts of snow in your container and set it in the sun or a warmer spot in the car to melt. Water bottles can be stored in your cooler. If you don’t have a cooler but do have bottles, wrap them in a blanket or another kind of material for insulation. Extra melted snow can be stored...

You need to find a positive outlet for all the pent-up mental energy you’ll have once you stop using the internet so much. Throwing yourself into your studies or your work with renewed energy is a great way to keep your mind occupied while improving your results and your relationships at work! You’ll be amazed by how much your productivity will improve when you redirect your attention to tasks that matter more in the long run. Talk to them about the problems you've been having with your internet usage, and ask them to spend more time with you. Instead of chatting with them online, invite them over to your house for dinner, or go meet up with them for dinner and drinks. Your friends and family will serve as your support system, filling in those hours where you’d normally be mindlessly clicking through the internet. Not only will you be distracted from the computer, you’ll also be improving your relationships with the people most important to you. There’s a whole world of activities you can enjoy outside of the internet! Make yourself a promise that you will use your computer only for work, and find recreation elsewhere.

You need to know how many places are in your number, and what digit is in each place. For example, if you are multiplying 34×12{\displaystyle 34\times 12}, you would determine that the first number, 34, has a 4 in the ones place, and a 3 in the tens place. The number of lines you draw will correspond to the digit in the tens place.  Draw the lines at about a 45 degree angle, slanting down towards the right. For example, if you are representing 34, you would draw 3 parallel lines. The number of lines will correspond to the digit in the ones place. Draw these lines above and to the right of the tens lines.  Leave some space between the ones lines and the tens lines, so you can tell them apart. For example, if you are representing 34, you will draw 4 parallel lines. You need to know how many places are in your number, and what digit is in each place. For example, if your second number is 12, you would determine that you have a 2 in the ones place, and a 1 in the tens place. The number of lines will correspond to the digit in the tens place. Draw the lines near the top of the diagram. They should cross all the lines of the first number, slanting in the opposite direction.  It might be helpful to draw each number’s lines in a different color. For example, if you are representing the number 12, you would draw 1 parallel line crossing over the sets of lines from the first number. The number of lines will correspond to the digit in the ones place. Draw the lines below the ones lines, so that they cross over all the lines of the first number, slanting in the opposite direction.  Leave some space between the ones lines and the tens lines, so you can tell them apart. For example, if you are representing 12, you will draw 2 parallel lines below the 1 line you drew for the tens place. In the line multiplication method, you will be adding up these lines instead of doing any actual multiplying.

You need to know what you will be looking for when you toss the coin into the air. Will you catch it, or let it hit the ground? If you catch it, do you reveal the coin as is, or flip it over to place somewhere else (giving it one final flip)? If you are using it to make a decision with another person, making these decisions clear will prevent either of you from complaining about the result afterwards. On the other hand, if you are comfortable with the steps below, and can set the coin and get the toss off quickly, you can put the other person off guard, and maybe get a more favorable result. If possible, make sure you are the one choosing heads or tails, so you can see the tossing conditions and make your guess accordingly. Alternatively, you can also make sure you are the one tossing the coin. That way you'll be able to control the conditions to give yourself an edge.

You need to let him know that you want to have a serious conversation. This way, he takes what you’re saying to heart. If you don’t take the time to do this, he may not understand the level of importance of the talk. Let him down easy. Add a compliment or two into your talk but convey to him that it’s not enough.  “You’re a great friend, but we can’t be together.” “You’ll make someone very happy, but it’s not going to be me.” Even after giving him the reasons you’re not into him, he may not fully understand. Deliver your official “back-off” message after you’ve told him your reasons.  “We won’t have a romantic relationship.” “We can stay friends if you’re going to keep it at friendship.” “There isn’t the right chemistry between us.” If you don’t tell him flat out that your feelings aren’t going to change, he might hope for it. Don’t let him leave with any questions of you having romantic feelings for him in the future. Set some ground rules for your friendship (if there is still going to be one). Let him ask some questions if he wants to and answer the honestly. There’s no sense in protecting his feelings with lies: tell him the truth. This will help him move on more quickly. Rehearsing the conversation in your head helps, but can also hurt you by creating preconceptions in your head about how it will go. Rather than attacking him with your thoughts, sit across from him and hear what he has to say so that he will listen to what you have to say. To ensure that he’s gotten your point fully, ask him what he thinks about it all. Stand your ground and don’t leave the conversation without him understanding that you don’t like him. Don’t leave without clarity.

You need to listen to a wide variety of hip-hop and rap before you start trying to make your own rhymes. Study the history and the culture of rap and try to understand the core and foundations of it. It's a living, breathing thing that you need to engage with. If you don't know who Big Daddy Kane is, or you only know Ice Cube as a funny guy in the movies, you've got some research to do. Over the past few years, free online mixtape culture has become an important part of hip-hop. Lil Wayne's rise to fame in the mid-2000s was on the back of mixtapes given away for free online, some composed largely of freestyles. Checking out free mixtapes is a great way to jump into the conversation happening in contemporary hip-hop. Study other rappers' skills until you can form your own style. You're not biting, you're learning. Copy out their rhymes and freestyles and read them as you would poetry. Studying their music is also good to find some solid beats that you may want to try rapping over.  Eminem is known for his quick flow, intricate rhyme schemes, and metrical perfection, while Lil Wayne is known for his great one-liners and similes. Find rappers that appeal to you. A$AP Rocky, Tribe Called Quest, Big L, Nas, Mos Def, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gibbs, Jedi Mind Tricks, Army of The Pharaohs, MF Grimm, Jus Allah, Shabazz Palaces and the Wu-Tang Clan are very different and talented rappers or groups worth checking out. Listening to rap that you specifically don't like can also be helpful in trying to craft a style. Form opinions. Make arguments. Debate with your friends about different rappers. Talk about who sucks and who's great. Pick a jaw-dropper from one of your favorite tracks and listen to it repeatedly, until you've committed it to memory. Recite it as you walk around. Get a feel for the syllables and the flow of the words, the way the words feel as you say them.  Think about what stands out for you about this verse. What do you like about it? What made it memorizable? Find an instrumental...

You need to pay attention to your child to look for certain causes of incontinence. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are most common in girls who have just started school or have recently been potty trained. In addition to incontinence, UTIs can also cause frequent urination, a burning sensation when she urinates, cloudy or dark colored urine, strong smelling urine, and pain in the lower abdomen. UTIs can be treated with antibiotics. Some children who get frequent UTIs also have a condition called asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU). These children, most frequently girls, have bacteria colonizing the bladder, meaning that they reside there, similar to having bacteria quietly living on our skin. This increase in bacteria in the urine can sometimes be the cause of frequent UTIs. Many kids, particularly girls, will develop irritation and inflammation in the area of the urethral and vaginal openings when they have a UTI. You can use certain creams to help relieve the irritation your child feels. In particular, a zinc oxide-containing skin barrier cream or ointment such as Desitin or Triple Paste can be very helpful. You can purchase these creams at your local pharmacy. Follow the directions on the bottle or box that the cream comes in. The bacteria that creates a UTI thrives in moist areas. When your child experiences incontinence and leaks a bit of urine onto her clothes, it's important that she changes into dry clothes to keep her from getting a UTI or to relieve the symptoms of her UTI. This will also keep it from coming back. You can explain this to her so that she does it herself, or you can ask her to tell you when this happens so that you can help her change. If your child has recurrent UTIs, you should talk to the doctor about getting antibiotics to clear up the infection and prevent new infections. Your child's doctor will be able to tell you whether or not antibiotics are the appropriate treatment for your child to prevent infections. Your child will need antibiotics if he has an active UTI. The most common...

You need to seek help immediately if you determine that your drinking is out of control. If you experience certain problems, you may be abusing alcohol, which puts you at great risk for developing alcoholism. You are at risk if you can't have a drink without eventually drinking more and getting drunk or you use alcohol while driving or operating machinery, even though you know that using alcohol in this way is illegal and extremely dangerous.  If you have morning and evening cravings, develop irritability, have mood swings, drink alone or in secret, chug drinks, are depressed, or experience shakiness, you should seek immediate help. You should also seek help if you neglect your responsibilities due to drinking. You could be neglecting them either because you're busy drinking or because you have hangovers that prevent you from going to work or school.  You are at risk if you've gotten in legal trouble because of your drinking, such as being arrested for public intoxication, getting into a fight while drunk, or getting a DUI. You should be concerned if you keep drinking even though people in your life have expressed concern. When your drinking has gotten problematic enough that other people notice, you should seek help. You should not use drinking as a coping mechanism. It is extremely unhealthy to use alcohol as a way to cope with stress, depression, and other problems. If you tend to do so, you should seek help. Going through a 12-step program, such as those facilitated by AA, has helped many people who abuse alcohol find a way to cope. Even if you don't think you're a full-blown alcoholic, going through the program can help you prevent your problem from getting worse. You'll attend meetings and get an AA sponsor who you can call when you're experiencing cravings or losing your way.  You may learn that you cannot drink safely anymore, and it will be important for you to have a support system in place to help you deal with that reality and help you eliminate all alcohol and negative influences from your life....

You need to start with a conversation with your boss about expectations he or she has of your work. Talk about wanting to be more productive, which doesn’t mean producing more, but producing more important stuff. And then make that happen. If you can change the expectations that people have of you, you are well on your way. Here are some questions to raise:  What is it that they really want you to accomplish? Is it so important where or how long it takes for you to accomplish that? If you are able to do it from home, or in fewer hours, would that matter? You might be able to free up time by limiting your work to 6 hours a day (for example). But perhaps you can’t just leave work after 6 hours. Instead, use the extra time for new projects (work-related or otherwise, depending on the flexibility you have) that you’ve wanted to work on but couldn’t. If you can work from home, you’re set. You need to show your boss, through a one or two day trial run, that you can actually produce more from home. Know what your boss wants you to complete for that day, and do that and more. Once you get approved to telecommute, you can then set your work hours. Just be sure to get the work done, but how you do that is up to you.  See How to Convince Your Boss to Let You Work from Home. Perhaps you can have your boss read How to Virtualize Your Workforce. This goes back to managing expectations, but you want your boss to set goals for you that are based on tasks or projects, not on how long you work. If you can do that, you have taken a big step towards being able to limit your work hours.

You never want to let a discussion turn into an argument. Even if your mom reacts negatively, refrain from arguing with her. Keep your tone calm and respectful throughout the conversation, even if you feel like your mom is being unfair.  If you feel like you're losing your temper, it's okay to take a break. Say something like, "I feel like we're not getting anywhere. Can we take a break and talk about this later?" You can then do something to get rid of your anger, like go for a walk or vent to a friend. Your mom may not react the way you wanted. She may get angry about the subject, or even punish you or make a new rule regarding your behavior. If your mother has a negative reaction, try to cope with it effectively.  If your mom is lecturing you or talking to you in a way that is not helpful, let her know. Say something like, "I really don't need advice. I just wanted to talk." If your mom makes a rule for your behavior (i.e., "I don't want you going to school events or parties anymore.") accept the rule for now. You can talk to your mom again once she's calmed down. Being argumentative may just make your mom double down on the rule. You may want your mom's advice. This may be why you're raising the conversation to begin with. If you want guidance, ask for it after telling your mom about the topic. Say something like, "I just really wanted your advice because I'm not sure what to do." Remember, just because someone offers advice doesn't mean you have to take it. However, it can be helpful to just listen to and consider your mom's point of view. Some subjects may be too tricky to introduce to your mom. If your mom reacts very negatively and does not want to talk about it, reach out to another adult. You can talk to another parent, an aunt or uncle, an older sibling, or a friend's parent.

You now know what habits in your life you need to work on. One way to start changing is to set goals to help you achieve that. For instance, maybe you want to eat healthier or move more. A goal like "eat healthier" is much too big. You probably have a vague idea of what to do, but it's not actually something you can put into action right now. Instead, try goals that are actions instead. For instance, instead of "eat healthier," you could try goals such as "trade one sweet snack for a fruit every day," "eat three helpings of vegetables each day," or "cut out three sodas per week." Telling yourself what will be good can help you stick to your goals. For instance, if your goal is to "cut out three sodas per week," you could write, "I won't have as many sugar crashes. I'll be eating less sugar. I'll be consuming less calories. It can help me lose weight." Put your goals up where you can see them. Say them out loud each morning. Making sure you see what your goals are can help you stick to them. You won't change all your habits overnight. Even changing one habit can take a while. Just keep working at it, and eventually, you'll have new, healthier habits. Once you've changed one or two habits, you can work on other ones.

You only need a little water, about ½ cup (120mL). Heat the water until it just begins to bubble.  Kids should ask an adult for help handling the hot water. Distilled water gives the best results, but tap water should work fine.  As you heat the water, its molecules will speed up. There are many kinds of salts. Each one will grow into a different shape of crystal. Try these and see what happens:  Table salt takes a few days to grow. "Iodized" salt won't work as well, but will still form crystals.  Epsom salt grows into smaller, needle-like crystals, but grows more quickly than table salt. Buy it at a pharmacy. Alum grow quickly, sometimes making visible crystals within a few hours. Find it in the spice section of a grocery store. Take the pan off the heat. Pour in about ¼–½ cup (60–120mL) of your salt and stir until the water is clear. If you don't see any salt grains in the water, stir in another spoonful. Keep stirring in more salt until you see salt grains that won't dissolve when you stir. You've just made a supersaturated solution. This means the solution (the liquid) contains more salt than water can usually hold! When you heated the solution (your water), the molecules sped up, creating space between them that allowed more of the solute (your salt) to be absorbed than usual. Carefully pour the hot water into a jar or another clear, heat-safe container. This should be as clean as possible, so nothing interferes with the crystal growth.  Pour slowly and stop before the salt grains fall into the jar. If there are undissolved salt grains in the jar, the crystals might grow around those grains instead of your string. Since supersaturated solutions are very unstable, salt will come out of the solution when you disturb it. This means it will start to form crystals, which takes heat away from your solution. A couple drops of food coloring will change the color of your crystals. It might make the crystals smaller or more lumpy as well, but usually not by much. The pencil should be long enough to lie across the...

You only need to remove the collar from the front of the shirt. When you reach the shoulders, stop; leave the back of the collar intact. Find the middle of the collar, then cut it. You will end up with two straps on either side of the shirt. Use the straps from the original collar as a guide so that you don't cut the V too deep. It's okay if you stretch the straps a little, but not too much. The V needs to start at the left edge of the collar, and finish at the right. Make sure that you are pinning the collar face-down, with the folded edge facing downward, and the raw edge facing up. You will eventually turn the collar up to hide the seam. Pull the collar enough so that it extends to the right side of the collar by ¼ to ½ inch (0.64 to 1.27-centimeters). Depending on how much you extended it by, this will be between ¼ and ½ inch (0.64 and 1.27 centimeters). Secure the fold with a pin, if needed. Folding the end of the collar will create a neat seam on the front. Begin sewing at the shoulder and finish sewing at the bottom of the V; adjust the folded end, if needed. Use a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance, a matching thread color, and a stretch stitch.  Backstitch at the start and end of your sewing for extra strength. Remove the pins as you sew. Pin the right side of the collar, making sure to overlap the left side. Sew it using a ¼-inch (0.64-centimeter) seam allowance, a matching thread color, and a stretch stitch. Remove the pins when you are done.  There is no need to fold down the end of the collar for this side. Remember to backstitch at the start and end of your sewing. Use a needle and a matching thread color for this. Make sure that you sew through both layers on the right collar, and only one layer on the left collar. This way, you won't see the stitching on the front. Fold the collar up so that it sits naturally, like a regular shirt collar. Tuck the hem down so that it is pressed against the shirt material. Iron the collar using the cotton setting on your iron.

You or your partner may have all, some, or none of these symptoms. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are bacterial infections. Symptoms gonorrhea typically arise within 10 days after exposure; symptoms of chlamydia typically arise one to three weeks after exposure. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can both infect the genital tract, eyes, mouth, pharynx, and anus. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause yellow, green, thick, bloody, or cloudy discharge from the penis. Discharge from the penis is not a normal occurrence, but its presence does not necessarily mean you have an STI. The only way to find out for sure is to visit a healthcare provider and be tested. Infection of the urethra by gonorrhea bacteria can cause inflammation of the urethra. This, in turn, can cause pain or a burning sensation. If they are tender, painful, or swollen, seek medical attention. This can be a symptom of gonorrhea, chlamydia, or another disease. These include itching of the anus, pain when having a bowel movement, anal soreness, anal bleeding, swollen prostate, and anal discharge. If your partner has symptoms of gonorrhea or chlamydia (even if you do not show symptoms), you should both seek medical treatment. If your partner has a penis, follow the same checks as listed above. If your partner has a vagina, follow the guidance listed below:  Check for increased vaginal discharge, or discharge that is not a typical color, odor, consistency, or appearance. This can be a symptom of gonorrhea or chlamydia infection.   Check for pain or burning when urinating. This can be a sign of gonorrhea or chlamydia infection.   Women can also get anal gonorrhea or anal chlamydia. The symptoms include itching of the anus, pain when having a bowel movement, anal soreness, anal bleeding, and anal discharge.  Vaginal bleeding between periods can also be indicative of gonorrhea infection. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can cause permanent damage to your body if left untreated.

You prime your canvas to finish getting it ready for painting. You use a paint like material called gesso. The gesso creates a surface for the paint adhere to once it's applied. Once your second layer of size has dried, you need to prime your canvas. The primer you use will depend on the medium that you intend to paint with. They come in white or translucent colors that provide natural lighting for your painting. Oil, acrylic, and watercolors all have different types of gesso associated with them. However, acrylic gesso is now used most for both acrylic and oil painting. It is also used underneath the ground needed to paint watercolors on a canvas. Pour the gesso, such as Opus acrylic gesso, on your canvas. Paint it on the canvas in even strokes with a large brush. Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour for the gesso to dry. Turn your canvas 90 degrees. Apply another coat of gesso in the same manner you applied the first. Let dry and repeat until you have enough layers.  You need three layers of gesso for acrylic paint. You need four layers of gesso for oil paint. If you don't want to bother with sizing or priming, you can buy pre-primed canvases that don't need the size or gesso applied to them. Some painters prefer a smooth surface for painting. If you do, add one layer of gesso to your sized canvas. After the gesso dries, rub a piece of coarse sandpaper across your canvas. Apply as many coats of gesso as you need on top of the first. Sand between each one and after the last. If you want to use watercolors on the canvas, you need something extra on the canvas. Apply two coats of gesso in the same manner you applied it for acrylics and oils. On top of that, apply an absorbent ground such as Golden's Absorbent Ground. Using a brush or roller, paint the ground on the surface in a thin layer across the canvas. Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour between coats to let it dry, then apply another layer. You should apply 5-6 layers of the ground to the surface of the canvas. Let the ground dry for 24 hours before you start to paint.

You remember how we talked about how accepting compliments is best done with a simple "Thank you?" Well, turns out that's right for most social interactions! Walking up to someone and saying, "Hi. I don't believe we've met," is an incredibly direct, confident, effective way of starting a conversation. Humans just want to make it harder for some reason!   Sometimes you've gotta do the approaching because other people just aren't gutsy enough. Like you used to be! They're all nervous to initiate social interaction. Just walking up to someone, looking them in the eye, smiling, and saying, "Hi, my name is...," can get the ball rolling. A handshake doesn't hurt. When you have three minutes with a person, seize it. At the bus stop? Talk to the guy next to you about his bag. In line at the checkout? Ask the lady how her day is going. The little things count just as much! . Surprisingly enough, it doesn't have to be painful if you don't want it to be. And it doesn't just have to be about the weather! Small talk can be fun and fulfilling when the right topic and the right person rolls around. If you have even five minutes with a person, start chatting. Totally not threatening too!   While Brits are okay with talking about the weather, you may want to avoid it across the pond. Since that may or may not be out of the question, talk about whatever is in front of you. Long line at the store? A holiday coming up? The bus is late? Or maybe you don't know what to order at the coffee shop! Don't think of it as making meaningless chatter—think of it as brightening someone else's otherwise boring day. This skill will help you fill awkward silences. So the next time you're sitting by that girl in class that you've spoken to a few times, that project you're working on together next quarter won't be so awkward. You're naturally going to find it easier to talk to some people over others. Those you have the most in common with will be the ones you gravitate to.

You should always follow the directions given to you by your physician. Different pills have different requirements. Some need to be started at a special time and some need to be taken at specific times. Start by reading the instructions and then follow the next steps. If you do not take the birth control pills as directed, they may not be effective and you may become pregnant. Smoking makes taking the pill extremely dangerous to your health. Together they put you at a very high risk for blood clots, which can easily kill you. Women who are older than age 35 and smoke should not use any type of combination birth control pill. If you're smoking,  stop. Even occasional, social smoking can be dangerous. If you're not smoking, don't start. Depending on the type of birth control pill you have been prescribed, you may need to start taking your pill at a certain time. Always ask your prescribing doctor how you should start your pill. In general, you have a few options:  You can start combination pills on the first day of your period. You can also start combination pills on the Sunday after your menstrual period starts. If you have just given birth vaginally, you must wait three weeks to start the combination pill. You should wait at least six weeks after giving birth before starting the combination pill if you have an increased risk of blood clots or you are nursing. You can start taking the combination pill right away if you have had an abortion or miscarriage. Always start your new pack of combination pills on the same day of the week as you started the first pack. You can start the minipill (progestin-only) pill at any time. If you plan to have vaginal intercourse during the first 48 hours of using the minipill, use a backup form of contraception.  You must take the minipill at the same time each day. Choose a time when you will remember to take your pill, such as when you get up or right before you go to bed. You can start the minipill right away if you have had an abortion or miscarriage.

You should always remove your bulbs at the right time of year. This way, you have the best chance of them re-blooming in the spring. The first light frost of the season is usually the best time to remove the bulbs, but it's vital to remove them before a hard frost. Make sure to get them out of the ground before it becomes consistently below freezing in your area. You want to make sure your bulbs are stored at a low temperature. Storing bulbs inside your home, in a place like the kitchen, is not recommended. Warm cupboards and cabinets will destroy dahlia bulbs. Store them in areas in your home with a lower temperature, like the attic or basement. There should be some holes and slots in the storage container you choose. If bulbs cannot get access to air, this will cause them to decay. Always select a well-ventilated storage container when storing dahlia bulbs.

You should always show a great attitude towards your family, teachers, friends, and everyone you meet. Even if you disagree with someone's views or behaviours, you can show respect by refraining from judgement or ill-treatment. Accepting different viewpoints shows your maturity. You should present yourself to everyone in a dignified and elegant way that will help you receive the respect from others that you give to them. Here are some methods you can practice:  Always say "please" and "thank you". Never talk negatively about someone to others. Treat others how you want to be treated. It is important to remember that nobody is perfect, and there will be times that you make mistakes, have regret, and find yourself in an "oops" moment. Making mistakes is part of being human. Instead of being overly critical of yourself, or bashing yourself to others, reflect on your mistakes, learn from them, and move on. Being critical of yourself should not be a part of your daily routine. If you say bad things about yourself to others, then you open the door for others to say bad things as well. Values are the guidelines that keep you grounded and prevent you from making poor decisions.

You should always wash produce before cooking it. Sweet potatoes are no different. To wash sweet potatoes, run them under cold tap water. Remove any excess dirt or debris from the potato. Make sure the skin is completely clean before you proceed. You can either use a vegetable peeler or a pairing knife to remove a sweet potato's skin. You should also cut off either end of the potato with a knife. If you're having trouble peeling your sweet potato, scrub it with a produce brush first. This should loosen the skin, and make the peeling process easier. Find a pot that's big enough that you can fully emerge your sweet potato, or sweet potatoes, in water. You want to make sure all the potatoes fit comfortably without being crowded. You also want to make sure you have a cover for the pot you choose.  Once you find a suitable pot, fill it about halfway full with tap water. Add your sweet potato, or sweet potatoes, to the pot. Make sure they're all covered with water. If necessary, add a bit more water. Bring the water to a boil. Add your sweet potato, or sweet potatoes, to the pot. Cover the pot and allow the potatoes to cook for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes have passed, remove the cover from the pot. The potatoes should be tender enough that you can pierce the outside of the potatoes easily. However, you should not be able to pass the knife through the sweet potatoes. If your sweet potatoes are not tender enough after 10 minutes, cook them for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. You  may also want to cook your sweet potatoes longer if you want very soft sweet potatoes, such as the kind you would use in mashed potatoes. These need to be cooked for 25 to 30 minutes. When the sweet potatoes are cooked to your desired tenderness, drain them with a colander and set them aside to cool.

You should be able to see your audience such as the people viewing at the second, the people viewed today, week, month, and all time. You should see the posts that they have viewed and how many views that post has gotten. You may also be able to see what viewers have typed on Google or other source sites to get to your blog. You may want to do some posts on those sources or keywords (traffic sources) to get more viewers coming on. Make sure that you are welcoming your fans instead of driving them away. You may want to change the appearance, or layout of your blog occasionally to keep it exciting, interesting, and fresh.

You should be comfortable, but keep in mind that you'll probably be running for stretches of the course. Wear hiking or trail shoes however remember that hiking boots are hard to run in. If you are orienteering regularly, you may want to purchase special orienteering or fell running shoes from brands such as Inov8 and VJ Sport. Long-sleeve shirts and pants will help cut down on insect bites. Check local weather conditions before you orienteer. This will help you dress for any potential weather scenarios. You'll need to bring a compass or buy one at registration. A whistle will come in useful if you get lost. Most orienteering events use SI cards or EMIT cards, if you are planning to do lots of orienteering, you may want to buy one but they are normally available for hire at registration. Bring along some water, especially if you'll be running a lot. You'll be given a map of the course, so don't bring along any maps of the area. You'll be asked to specify a skill level. As a beginner, you should start with a white or yellow course. These run about 2 to 3.5 kilometers and usually follow trails. You'll then be given a map of the course, control descriptions, and might be given an electronic punch. More advanced courses run anywhere from 3.5 to 10 kilometers and are mainly off trail.

You should be leaning so that your head almost touches the driver's window. If your mirror is adjusted in the traditional fashion, the side of your car should almost take up the whole mirror. Correct this by adjusting the mirror until you can just see the rear quarterpanel (the rear end of the car). If you’ve adjusted the mirror correctly, the rear of your car should occupy less than a third of the mirror. Your head should be as close to the center as you can without having to leave your seat. From there, position the right side mirror so you can just see the rear quarterpanel of the passenger side in the mirror. Again, ensure the quarterpanel takes up less than a third of the mirror’s view. Place this mirror to see as much of your rear window as you can. You want to see directly out of the rear of your vehicle; don’t try tilting the mirror to get a better view of traffic on either side. The center mirror should compensate for what the side mirrors can’t see, not compensate for badly adjusted side mirrors.

You should begin early stages of planning the conference at least eight months in advance, even longer if the conference will have many participants or is large in scope.  Remember, many venues and catering services must be reserved months in advance, and many participants will have to travel and make scheduling arrangements to be present. Furthermore, you might need sponsors and large companies prepare their annual budgets months in advance so any financial or non financial help has to be negotiated with them in advance. A conference committee makes all the decisions for the conference, and having more than one person ensures that you have enough perspectives to make decisions on important issues and that you have enough people to actually pull off the details.  You will need a conference coordinator, who is the point person for all the major decisions and who will end up giving the most time to pulling everything together.  You can also hire an event planner if you have a big enough budget, and spare yourself the headache. If this conference is  repeat of one that has been held before, try to get the previous year's coordinator on the committee. If he or she cannot participate, at least ask for any materials from the previous year to help streamline planning. You will need to clearly define what you hope to accomplish with this conference because this will shape the rest of your decisions.  Knowing what you want to convey and to who before you begin any other conference organizing eases the stress of moving forward. If you have never planned a conference, it is wise to stick to a small and relatively straightforward plan the first time you attempt it. Practically speaking, that means a conference of one or two days at the most, with no more than 250 to 300 people. Although you may not be able to choose the specific date and location without more planning, it's important that you have a good idea of how much time you have to plan.  There are likely a lot of constraints on the date that you choose owing to...

You should bring only essentials in your luggage. Heavy luggage and multiple bags will only weight you down and increase the cost of your travel.  Bring sturdy, comfortable shoes and clothing that can be layered to accommodate changing climates. Leave expensive electronics and valuable jewelry at home. Getting sick when traveling in other countries will be time-consuming and take the fun out of the adventure, so take care of your health before you leave and when you travel. When you're traveling, follow these general health tips:  Get plenty of sleep, especially if you're often changing time zones. Avoid drinking too much alcohol, this will dehydrate you and can lead to poor decisions. Drink plenty of purified water. Unless you've checked ahead of time, the tap water at your destination may not be as clean and safe to drink as your local water at home. Eat a somewhat balanced diet. In unfamiliar countries, it can be tempting to eat an unhealthy diet (or even one comprised of junk food). Keep yourself healthy by eating regular, balanced meals. Wash your hands often. Most domestic cell phones (i.e. the phone you currently use) will build up exorbitant fees if you use them internationally. You can be a world traveler and still stay in touch with family and friends by purchasing a universal cell phone that will work all over the world.  Before you look into an international cell phone, check with your current cell provider—they may be able to add an international calling plan for an additional monthly charge.  Depending on the number of countries you'll be traveling in, and the duration of your stay(s), it may be more practical to rent an international phone in each country, rather than buying a single phone for your entire trip.  International cell phones sometimes require that you buy separate SIM cards or recharge it with more minutes, but will keep you in constant contact with familiar people. A great way to do this is by keeping in touch with the people you miss the most. Whether through a phone call, a...

You should brush your teeth at least twice a day to help fight off tooth decay. When you brush, make sure you get the inner and outer surfaces of your teeth, the teeth in the back of your mouth, the chewing surfaces of your teeth, and your tongue. Scrub long enough that all the plaque comes off your teeth, but don’t push so hard that you hurt your gums and teeth. Also use a soft toothbrush. Teeth can also be damaged by using toothbrushes with bristles that are too hard. After you brush your teeth, spit out the toothpaste like normal. Instead of washing your mouth out with water, leave the toothpaste remnants of your toothpaste in your mouth without rinsing. This gives the minerals in your toothpaste some extra time to be absorbed by your teeth. daily. Along with brushing, you should also floss every day. Start with around 18 inches (46 cm) of floss. Take the end of the floss and wrap most of it around the finger of one hand, leaving the rest around one finger of the other hand. Hold a section of floss between your thumb and your forefinger, gently guiding the floss between all your teeth using a gently back and forth motion and curving along the bottom of each tooth.  Once the floss is between the teeth, use a gently up-and-down motion to get the sides of each tooth. After you do one tooth, unwind more floss and move on to the next tooth.

You should change strings before big shows, or if they start to sound dull or flat. Serious guitarists might change weekly or monthly, while anyone else should aim for new stings every 2-3 months. Take a picture of the strings when they're still on, or simply look up a picture of your guitar online. Note the path of the string from top to bottom. While it isn't too difficult, you want a good sense of how the guitar is strung before you get started. Turn the tuning or peg to loosen each string, just enough that you can unwind the rest by hand. You'll know you're loosening if, when plucked, the string sounds deeper. While you can also cut your strings off, this method eases tension gradually and allows you to reuse an old string if one breaks while restringing. You should just work on one string at a time to begin. Remove one, replace it, then move on -- this protects your neck from wild changes in tension. Once the string is removed from the peg, follow it down to the bridge (right below the acoustic hole). It should be pinned down by a bridge pin. Push the string slightly towards the pin to loosen it, then pull the pin straight out. This should bring the end of the string with it.  Do not yank the strings or pins out violently. Some acoustics are simply threaded through the bridge, and can be pulled out of the opening with ease. Remove all of the dust, grime, and dirt from the neck of your guitar with care. This protects new strings, and will make your guitar feel a little faster. For deeper cleaning, purchase a bottle of fret-cleaner from your local music shop and spray that on according to the manufacturer's instructions.

You should feel comfortable just sitting in the car regardless of whether or not it's moving. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Practice sitting in the car and becoming relaxed before you begin driving. Consider playing soothing music. It may help you overcome a sense of rising panic and can drown out the noise of other cars.  Even the most confident driver can become anxious if there are noisy passengers in the car. Make sure the car is quiet and free of trash or clutter. Increase your sense of safety in the car by making sure your car gets any needed repairs. If you begin to feel a panic attack come on or your neck and chest muscles tighten, begin breathing deep into your lungs. Inhale slowly through your nose with the focus of getting air to the bottom of your lungs. Let your belly expand and pause for a moment while you hold your breath. Slowly exhale and let your whole body relax. You can repeat this process 10 times counting backwards from ten on each exhale. Try to complete three sets of 10. Tighten and relax muscle groups in your body so that you become aware of how to hold and release tension. Begin by clenching your fists for 7-10 seconds. Release your fist for 15 to 20 seconds while you focus on how the tension is leaving the muscles in your hands. Repeat the exercise with other muscle groups, moving up your arms, to your head, then down the back of your body to your feet and toes. You can even practice PMR every day for 20 minutes even if you are not experiencing panic. This can improve your sense of control over your mood, reduce the frequency of panic attacks, and increase your concentration. . Affirmations are short positive statements that remind you that you can make changes. With driving, the type of affirmations that you might want to use include:  I am driving carefully and within the speed limit. Careful driving is safe driving. Driving is a common, everyday activity.

You should have a section of your notes dedicated specifically to homework, to make it easy-to-find and convenient. Some students find it effective to use a day planner or a calendar to stay organized, while others prefer simple notebook paper or composition books. Use whatever fits in with your own organization style, and list out each night of homework in the same place.  It's common to quickly write out the math problems you're supposed to do at the top of your notes, or scribble down the page number of the English reading on a textbook page, but try to recopy this information into a specific homework list so you will be sure to remember to do it. Write down as many details as you can about each assignment. It's good to include the due date, corresponding textbook pages, and additional instructions from your teacher. This will help you plan your night of homework more effectively. Also, it's a good idea to write about your homework in a planner. It's important to spend a bit of time before you dive into your homework to make sure you understand the skills expected of you in the homework assignment.

You should have clean hands whenever you are touching the area around your band-aid to prevent the spread of bacteria and possible infection.  Use clean water from a tap to wet your hands. Warm or cold is fine. Turn off the tap and apply soap to your hands. Rub your hands together to create a lather with the soap making sure to coat the back of your hands, between your fingers, and underneath your fingernails. Continue scrubbing your hands for 20 seconds. This is about as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice in a row from beginning to end.   Rinse the soap off of your hands with clean water from the tap. Dry your hands with a clean cloth towel, paper towel, or you can air dry them. As an alternative to washing your hands, you can use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol. Like washing your hands, cleaning the area around your band-aid can help prevent infection or the spread of bacteria during removal.  Fill a clean bowl with clean tap water and mild liquid soap. Warm or cold water is fine, although warm (not hot) water may feel more comforting. Soak a clean washcloth in the soapy water and wring it out to remove excess moisture. Gently wash the skin around and on top of the band-aid with the wash cloth. Avoid putting direct pressure on top of the band-aid as you do this. Instead, give it a quick wipe with the cloth. Gently pat the area dry with a clean, dry washcloth. You’ll need a firm grip to keep consistent tension and angle for this method. This method may work especially well for waterproof band-aids. Pulling parallel to your skin encourages the adhesive to release rather than stick to your skin.  It is normal for the band-aid stretch slightly with this method. This can be an awkward movement, but when you get the hang of it, you’ll feel the adhesive release from your skin. Consistent tension keeps the band-aid from sagging and re-sticking to your skin.  For the final bit, you may have to pull up more vigorously and finish with a quick jerk up and away from your skin. It will...

You should have one of Goku's hair from the front, side, and back. One taken at an angle would also help. Make sure that the images are nice and clear. Keep these images handy; you will need to refer to them throughout the wig styling process. If you don't have a printer, have the images readily available on your computer, tablet, phone, etc. Look for a short, black wig with finger-length hair that is easily spike-able. Something with "J-rock" in the name and lots of layers would be ideal. You can do this with regular sewing pins or T-pins. Next, place the wig head onto a stand. You can easily make your own by sticking a thick dowel into a bucket filled with sand or pebbles, then placing the wig head on top. If you are using a dowel, make sure that it is thin enough to fit into the hole at the bottom of the wig head. You will need two large spikes to either side of the forehead, and two smaller ones on each temple. The bangs need to lay flat across the forehead. Refer to your reference pictures for a clearer image. To make the spikes, do the following:  Gather a section of hair from the bangs. Pinch the bottom of the section so that it tapers into a triangle. Mist the section with hairspray. Set the triangle with a hair drier. Use a small pair of scissors to trim off any unruly or stray hairs. If the spikes are separating at the tips, you can apply a little bit of hair gel or a clear-drying glue to the points. This will help them hold together.

You should include professional-looking headshots: shots of you up close without a lot of makeup and on a plain background. You should shoot them in nice natural light (but not direct sunlight) without a lot of distraction in the photos. These are meant for agencies to get a look at you in a raw state. Consider a head shot, a body shot, and profile shots. The most important thing to communicate in a portfolio is that you are able to present a range of “characters” and looks. Though professional photography can be expensive, it can make the difference between being passed over and getting an interview.  Think of professional photography as a worthwhile investment in your career!  Get your favorite professional shots printed into 8x10s. Save these in case you are asked to leave a photograph before or after an interview. If you've got enough good professional photos, consider compiling them into a portfolio.  Bring this portfolio with you to castings or agencies. This information can help modeling agencies place you.  Knowing the information off the top of your head will help you seem professional when you are speaking with an agency or potential client.  The most basic measurements to know are your height, weight, and shoe size. You should also know your clothing measurements such as dress size, hip, waist, chest/bust, etc. Your personal stats include information such as hair color, eye color, and skin tone. Almost every major city has multiple modeling agencies, and almost every agency has "open-calls" where they look for new talent.  Bring your photographs and/or portfolio. Be sure to have your (accurate) measurements as well. You may be asked to walk or pose for a headshot or other photos during an open call interview. If an agency rejects you, don't get disheartened; often an agency is looking for a diverse set of models, so you may just not fit their model lineup right now. Try to research the reputation of a modeling agency prior to an open call or interview. Too many people don't know about the business...

You should know how long your speech needs to be. If you can't deliver the speech within the given amount of time, then you may need to shorten it or lengthen it. Remember to include time for a Q&A period if appropriate. Practice looking up at your audience so that your eyes aren't always on your notes. Be sure to include your visual aids in your practice to make sure they are smooth. If you drive a regular commute, you can also practice a memorized speech while driving. Don't look off of notecards while on the road, though. Pause between the sections of your speech so that your audience can digest the information. If words sound unnatural to you or a sentence is awkward as you speak it, mark it out and edit it to make it sound natural. Record yourself as you make the speech. Analyze your appearance, your body language and your delivery.  Make sure that your gestures are natural and not too frenetic. Alternatively, don't fix your arms at your sides or keep your hands latched to the podium. If you make the speech to a friend or colleague and they offer constructive criticism, try to be open to what they have to say. Make sure they are familiar with your topic or industry, though, or their criticism may do more harm than good. If you've delivered your speech in rehearsal multiple times, then you will feel much more confident on-stage.

You should know how to fold the origami bird base and origami flapping bird before trying this method. If not, go onto Method 2 for making a beginner level dragon. A good size is 7 centimeter (2.8 in) x 7 centimeter (2.8 in) paper but other sizes will work. If you are a beginner it is best to start with bigger paper (20cm by 20cm) because it is easier to work with.  If you only have a regular letter size piece of paper, make it square by folding the left corner diagonally down to the right side. Then take the upper right corner and fold it down to the left, connecting to the left corner where the first fold was made. There will be a bottom rectangle left over; fold this backwards and crease it well. Unfold the whole paper and cut (or tear if you creased it really well) off the rectangle. You will now have a square piece of paper.

You should know the length and width of the area before you go to the home improvement store. Pegboard is usually sold in two by four, four by four and four by eight foot pieces. If you want an exact size, buy the larger size of pegboard and ask the large home improvement store to cut it to size.  Most box stores will do this free of charge or for a nominal fee. You can also install several pegboard sections in tiles along your wall. Cut them to the width of your pegboard. A frame will allow you space between the wall and board to connect hangers. It will also support the pegboard and avoid damage to your wall. It is sold in white or brown and can be left unpainted if you choose. In order to make a camouflaged pegboard for a craft room or kitchen, paint your pegboard the same color as your walls. You can also use spray paint to create a contrasting pegboard installation. Painting in advance will reduce the smell of the paint. It will also mean the paint is cured before you hang anything.
