Garage sale customers are more likely to buy (and to buy at higher prices) if it looks like the merchandise came from a good home with owners that care for their things. They’re also more likely to feel comfortable stopping and browsing if your sale space is attractive and clean. Presentation is key.   Mow the lawn, rake the leaves, and open up space to display the items you're selling. Make sure that customers have plenty of parking space. Consider moving any cars that are usually parked in front of your house. You might need to move them to another street or ask a neighbour if you can park your car in front of their house or in their driveway. You can use tables and bookshelves from your house to display your items, Or you can rent folding tables if you don't have enough.  While customers do see and buy items that are on the ground, it's important to display small items on tables. This protects them from foot traffic and allows people to easily inspect them. If you're using furniture from your home to display your wares, make sure that this not-for-sale furniture isn't mistaken for something that's up for grabs. Consider draping a sheet or a tablecloth over tables to hide the furniture itself but preserve the display space. Customers may not have exact change on hand, and your ability to make change could be the difference between a sale and a walk away.  Unless you've got a lot of change at home, chances are that you’ll need to visit the bank the day before the sale. Pick up a few rolls of coins and be sure to keep plenty of small bills on hand. You’re going to be making change for a lot of customers, so consider using a fanny pack or an apron to organize your money. Many fanny packs have two pockets: you can keep the bills in the large compartment, and the coins in the smaller compartment. Keep large bills in the house until they're needed. You don't have to drop them or lose large amounts of money in case your money is stolen. If you own a smartphone or a tablet, consider setting up a credit card swipe....

Gather a small section of your hair and brush it to remove any tangles. Turn on a flat iron to the lowest setting (usually around 250-300 degrees F) and once it's warm, run it through the strand. Continue running the flat iron over the section of hair until the section is smooth and straight. Each section will end up being a curl. For many small curls, keep the sections small. You should also make sure the sections aren't too large or the pin clips won't be able to hold the hair. With the flat iron on the lowest setting, run it through the straight strand of hair. Wind the hair backwards away from your face so that the strand curls onto the flat iron. Do this slowly so that the hair curls. Keep the temperature of the flat iron low so that it doesn't melt your synthetic hair. The curl doesn't have to be perfect. You're just getting a basic curl shape that you'll wind and pin to your head. While the curl is still warm, wrap it tightly around your index finger. Gently slide the curl off of your finger and hold it between your thumb and index finger. The curl will look like a flat, circular twist of hair. Bring the curl to your scalp and pin it to your head using a small metal hair clip. If you want the curls to hold longer, you can spray the curl with hair spray before you wrap and pin them. Straighten, curl and pin the rest of your hair. You may find it easier to curl and pin the hair closest to your temples (if curling a weave). This will keep the hair out of your face. Once you've pinned all of your synthetic hair, let them rest in the pins overnight or at least for several hours. Remove the clips and run your fingers through the curls. To get a more natural look, you can run your fingers in between curls to divide them and give your hair more body.

Gender is in someone's heart, not in their underpants, and trans people transition so that they can be their authentic selves. Trans people's safety is at risk when they go out to date; they wouldn't fake it for fun. If a trans person wants to date you, they want to be accepted for who they are.  All humans need to be social and experience flirtation, relationships, and love. Would you walk up to that cute girl at the bar and say, "I have serious commitment issues?" Didn't think so. They are doing absolutely nothing wrong by being present and engaging with you. If you do not accept transgender people, mention it clearly without elaboration. For example, "Just so you know, I don't like trans/LGBT people. If that's a dealbreaker for you, you should walk away." This way they (and any trans allies) can walk away. Don't elaborate on your feelings; you might really hurt them, and/or have a drink thrown in your face. For the record, it's not gay people that become transgender to become straight. In fact, it's often the opposite. Sexual orientation and gender identity are completely different. Think of it this way: sexual orientation involves who you want to go to bed with. Gender identity, on the other hand, involves who you go to bed as. Trans people often face ostracism, bullying, abuse, and even violence. It can be hard to tell a safe person from a dangerous one. Especially if they have a history of being hurt, a trans person may be very cautious about coming out to you, because they don't want to risk their life. If the world were a more understanding place, this wouldn't be an issue. They would be happy to share this aspect of their lives with you. If the relationship is going to progress, you will find out. Whether they tell you verbally or you find out physically, it'll happen. And that's fine. You just have to know how it makes you feel and what you'll want to do from there. That's it. It's not gross, it's not bad. It just is. When you hear talk of, "There's something you don't know about me," this could be...

Generally, it’s safer to run away from an intruder than to confront them. If someone is in your home, try to exit through a door or window. Then, call the police if you haven’t already. You should still try to escape even if you might get hurt. For instance, there might be a steep drop outside your window, but it’s better to risk an ankle injury than to be trapped with an intruder. If you keep a firearm for self-protection, now is the time to use it. Get your gun and your ammunition as quickly as possible. Load your gun, then prepare yourself to fire it.  It’s still a good idea to hide after you get your gun. The intruder may also have a gun, or they might try to take yours from you. It’s difficult to know how you’ll react when you’re facing a threat. You could freeze up or hesitate, so be cautious about pursuing the intruder. If you have a knife handy, it can be a great weapon to use against an intruder. However, keep in mind that the intruder could use the knife against you. Get the knife only if you’re prepared to defend yourself with it. If you get the knife, take it with you to a hiding spot. That way you can surprise the attacker with it, then run away. If you don’t have a gun or knife, you might be able to use something in your environment as a makeshift weapon. Choose something heavy that’s easy for you to handle. Alternatively, use something like a belt or aerosol spray to fight off the attacker. Here are some great options for weapons:  A bat A frying pan A small statue or bust A wine bottle A lamp A belt A coffee mug Bug spray Try to pick the thickest, heaviest door in your home, if that’s possible. Lock the door, then hide inside the room so it takes the intruder longer to find you. Make as little noise as possible so you won’t be easily detected.  If the intruder is a burglar, they likely won’t try to find you. Generally, burglars want to steal your stuff without a confrontation. Hopefully, the police will arrive before the intruder finds you. If the person breaks in before you have a chance to...

Generally, the Secretary of State's office will handle all matters related to incorporation. In some cases, other offices, such as the Business Bureau, may need to be consulted. The Secretary of State's office should be able to direct you more specifically in that case and direct you to the proper forms (which are usually available on the state government website). For any given state, a group of several separate documents (sometimes as many as 10 or 15) make up the articles of incorporation, each with its own particular fee and required information. Since every state differs slightly in the breakdown of paperwork, you need to contact the Secretary of State's office to request the documents. Then, go over the documents with a lawyer and fill them out with the necessary information. All of the necessary paperwork should be available on the Secretary of State's website for self-filing. A corporate lawyer will provide the forms as part the service that he provides. Some forms will have fees attached to them, generally in the neighborhood of $80 to $100 each. Not every form with have an attached fee, but you'll generally pay these at the time of filing with the Secretary of State's office.  Incorporation fees vary from state to state. If you need to rush your paperwork, you can usually do so for an increased fee. You'll also need to file a Statement of Information form in some states. This document must be filed a few months after the initial filing of the articles. Some states require that a Statement of Information form be filed each year following the incorporation. Check the Secretary of State's website to see whether the form is required in your state. This form can usually be submitted online and includes fairly basic information about the corporation; think of it as a company census you must complete every year. It usually includes:  Names and addresses of corporate directors. Members of the board. Vacancies or changes in leadership. Mailing and street address of the corporation  If no changes occurred in...

Generally, wearing a T-shirt with a sweater is expected and even necessary. T-shirts work best with sweaters that have higher or more open collars, such as crew necks and turtlenecks. This is a great way to add layers to your outfit without hiding your sweater. However, T-shirts are also useful for preventing a rough sweater from irritating your skin.  Even if your shirt collar isn't visible, the hem might be. Leave a little of the hem visible below your sweater to make it look thicker and brighter. Choose a dark or neutral shirt color, such as white or gray, to complement your sweater. Alternatively, use a brighter color like blue to emphasize contrast for more visual appeal. A collared shirt may seem unexpected, but it is often a valuable article of clothing to make a sweater look dressy. Choose a shirt with a buttoned collar, then tuck it neatly behind your sweater so only the top is visible. If you wish to add a tie, attach it to the buttoned collar and tuck it underneath your sweater as well. Try wearing your classy new look to a professional function.  The collared shirt and tie combo works best with sweaters that have low collars, such as v-necks. Since you're generally trying to look classy when wearing a shirt like this, avoid using it with patterned sweaters. Stick with a light-colored shirt, such as white, so it stands out underneath your sweater. With ties, you could opt for more vibrant colors like red to stand out. Pair your favorite sweater with a nice sports jacket, blazer, or something entirely unexpected. Jackets don't work well with thicker sweaters like cable knit, but they serve as an additional layer for many other types. Wear an open jacket to show off your sweater and any layers you have on underneath it. A jacket keeps you warm while you wear a sweater like a cardigan. It also enables you to style your sweater for specific occasions. Try a leather jacket, a bomber jacket, or even a denim jacket for a more casual look. Coordinate your sweater with some stylish, form-fitting jeans....

Generally, you give a milligram per pound of dog. You can give it every 8 hours or so. So if your dog weighs 14 pounds, you can give 14 milligrams of Benadryl every 8 hours. However, it's always best to check with the vet for an appropriate dose.  Using children's Benadryl can make dosing easier, as it comes in smaller doses. In severe allergic reactions, a slightly higher dose may be appropriate, such as 2 milligrams per pound. Pills are usually easiest because most dogs don't like the flavor of the liquid. However, you can use liquid Benadryl (the children's formula). Usually, every 5 milliliters of liquid has 12.5 milligrams of Benadryl. You can give Benadryl without food. However, using food will lessen the chances of drooling and vomiting. Plus, it will make it easier to get your dog to take it. For instance, you can place the pill on a small piece of bread smeared with peanut butter, which your dog will likely gobble down. Another option is to apply the Benadryl to the skin. You can use a spray, cream, or stick. However, be sure not to apply more than a couple of times a day, and don't combine it with oral Benadryl, as that can lead to overdose. It's not as effective as an oral medication, but it can help some. The Benadryl will have little benefit if your dog licks it off. Cover the area with a bandage or put a t-shirt or cone collar on your dog to prevent it from licking the irritated area. While Benadryl is generally safe, any medication can cause a reaction if your dog happens to be allergic to it. Watch for stomach issues such as diarrhea and vomiting. Also notice if your dog is less interested in eating or is having trouble breathing. Agitation or a fast-beating heart is also an issue. Call your vet if you notice any of these side effects. Also, some sleepiness is to be expected with Benadryl. However, if your dog seems excessively lethargic, is having trouble waking up, or is non-responsive, you should call your vet.

Genital warts will appear as small pink or red growths or bumps on your sex organs and possibly your anus. You may see or feel genital warts on your vagina, your vulva, your cervix, your anus, your penis, or your urethra. Though rare, you can also develop genital warts on your mouth, lips, tongue, or in your throat. The warts may look similar to the tops of a cauliflower, and they may be tiny or difficult to see. Look for warts in clusters of three or four that appear to be growing and spreading on your body. Though genital warts are not usually painful, they may cause irritation, itching, mild discomfort, and sometimes bleeding due to aggressive scratching. Keep in mind genital warts can develop six weeks to six months after you have been infected, or longer. You may not notice the warts until several weeks after you have had contact  with an infected person, when they are fully developed and the symptoms become apparent. Some people who contract this STI do not display any symptoms and may not be aware they are carrying the disease. This is why it is important to get tested regularly for STIs to ensure you are not unknowingly spreading genital warts. Other infections and conditions can mistakenly be identified as genital warts, such as hemorrhoids, syphilis, pearly penile papules, and skin tags. As well, certain skin cancers can appear as genital warts. The only way to confirm you have genital warts is to get tested by your doctor or healthcare provider.

Gentle motion can help calm your fussy baby and may even put him/her right to sleep. Though different forms of motion work best for different babies, you can try a variety of strategies to see what's best for your baby. Though you may be used to the image of a mother and father rocking their children, just make sure you don't put your baby in motion for so long that you get tired. Try some of these motion techniques to help calm your fussy baby:  Bounce and/or rock the baby in your arms Gently pat the baby's back Hold your baby while rocking in a rocking chair Go for a walk with your baby Place the baby in a swing Place your baby on your knees and gently sway him/her from side to side Rock your baby in a cradle if you have one Sit on an exercise ball and bounce up and down while holding your baby Sway with the baby in your arms Take the baby for a car ride Walk slowly around the room with your baby Side lying can be another source of calm and comfort for your baby. To do it properly, just hold your baby at an angle and allow him/her to be on a side. Your baby can stop being fussy simply by changing the way that he/she is lying down. You can do this in your arms as long as you avoid placing the baby on his/her side in his/her crib, or this can cause him/her to roll over on his/her stomach, which will increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Making a soothing noise can really help your baby calm down and be less fussy. Just hearing a new sound can make your baby interested and alert and can help alleviate the pain he/she was feeling earlier. You can use your surroundings to find an appropriate noise or sound or you can even do the work yourself. Here are some sounds that may help calm down your fussy baby:  Turning on a white noise machine Soft singing Humming Turning the radio on static Turning on the vacuum in the other room Running a faucet Playing soft music Playing nature sounds Swaddling is a great way to calm your fussy baby; this is because your baby felt warm and comfortable in your...

Gently each layer of cake in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for two to three hours, or until it has completely cooled.  You can let the cakes cool at room temperature, but refrigerated cooling is more thorough. Cooled cakes are easier to work with than warm cakes, and you'll likely end up with less mess if you handle the cake once it has cooled instead of handling it while it is warm and soft. A topsy turvy cake must be assembled in a way that keeps the center of gravity positioned above the cake's base of support. Regardless of how you stack the tiers, this physics principle must be kept in mind.  Topsy turvy cakes use a principle known as counterbalance to keep the center of gravity properly positioned. Each wedge of the cake should counter its neighboring wedge so that the weight is distributed evenly throughout the structure.  In other words, the slant of one layer must run at an angle opposite the slant of the second layer. The slant of the third layer should run in the same angle as the first and opposite the second. Don't be afraid to turn your layers upside-down as you stack them, if necessary. As long as each layer is aligned to the center of gravity of the bottom layer, and the weight of each layer balances out the weight of the layers around it, the cake should remain stable and upright. Set the bottom layer down on a large cake board. Spoon a large glob of frosting onto the layer and spread it evenly over the top.  The cake board should be slightly larger than the bottom of the cake. You'll need to be able to lift this board to move the cake around. It is strongly recommended that you "glue" the bottom of the cake to the cake board by spooning 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 ml) of frosting on the center of the cake board before resting this bottom layer on top. You will need to spoon anywhere from 1 to 1.5 cups (250 to 375 ml) of frosting on top of this bottom layer. You should have a layer of frosting at least 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) once you smooth it out. Position the second layer on top of...

Gently lower your hedgehog into the bath. Hedgehogs are good swimmers, but you should never leave him unattended when he is in the bath. It is also advisable to have parental supervision when bathing a hedgehog. When he is happily splashing around in the bath, squirt about a dime-sized amount of shampoo into your hand and it lather it up. Then gently rub it onto his back, belly and feet. Take care to avoid the head, ears and eyes.  You can then use the toothbrush to carefully scrub his quills, belly or feet if there is some dirt stuck to him that hasn't come off. When scrubbing the quills, always go with the grain to avoid any irritation or discomfort. Once you have given him a gentle scrub, it's time to rinse off all the lingering soap. Take a small cup and scoop up some water from the bath. Pour this slowly over his back, being extra careful to avoid his head. Keep pouring water over his back until all the shampoo has been rinsed away.  If your hedgehog has dry skin, you can mix a teaspoon of olive oil or flaxseed oil into a cup of the bath water and pour it over his back. Only do this after you have completely rinsed off any shampoo. The oil will be absorbed by his skin and you will not need to rinse it off. Once you have finishing bathing him, carefully remove him from the bath and immediately wrap him in a soft fleece or towel. You can give him a gentle pat to help him dry. Ensure you keep him inside the house to avoid any risks of catching a chill, and consider moving him to a warm and dry snuggle sack when the towel becomes damp.  Be sure to pat him dry gently, and never try to scrub him dry. Do not leave your hedgehog with damp fabric for long.

Gently pull the coiled leader from its package, retaining its circular shape. Resist the urge to uncoil the leader as you unpack it, as this can create undesirable knots. Hold the index, ring, and middle fingers of your non-dominant hand straight with a little space between each of them. Touch your pinky and thumb together across the palm of your hand, so they are out of your way. Slip the coiled leader about a third of the way over your 3 fingers, and apply gentle pressure to the interior of the circle. Your fingers will act as a spool or anchor to help unwind the leader smoothly. Grip the perfection loop of the leader with your dominant hand. Gently unravel the leader, using your 3 fingers to hold the coil of leader steady. Your leader will unspool into a long length of thread.  The perfection loop will be slightly loose from the rest of the coil upon unpacking. You’ll recognize it because it is the thickest part of the leader. You may need to work through a few places where the leader wraps over itself in the coil. Work through these patiently as not to cause knots. Relax your hands as normal with the unspoiled leader in front of you. Holding one end of the leader firmly between your fingers—it doesn’t matter which end—use a pinched grip with the index finger and thumb of your other hand to run over the length of the leader. Apply pressure as you do this, which will create some warmth from the friction.  This warmth will help smooth out any remaining kinks or coils in your leader. Running your fingers over the leader in this way also removes shine and makes the leader less obvious to the fish. You can use a leader straighter rather than your fingers to remove kinks, if desired. Leader straighteners can be purchased at your local fishing store.

Gently remove each hive frame and look for larvae. They look like small white grubs, and you’ll usually see them in piles next to each other. Since the queen lays all the eggs in the colony, she’ll most likely be nearby. Be very careful lifting and replacing the hive frames. You could inadvertently kill the queen. The queen bee will not be hanging out on the edge of the hive or outside. She’ll most likely be deep inside the hive, away from outside disturbances. If you have a vertical hive box, she’ll probably be on one of the bottom frames. If your hive is horizontal, look for her towards the center. The queen may move around within her hive. If you notice any unusual activity inside the hive, such as bees clustering together or larvae where you don’t usually see them, the queen may be nearby.

Get a glass mason jar or other clear container. Use a funnel to fill up the glass part of the way with the gas. Swirl the glass around to see if there is any sediment at the bottom. Look at the color of the gas to see if it is darker than normal. Also, notice if the gas emits a particularly foul, rotten odor. These are all signs that the gas is ruined and not worth reconditioning.  It’s important to toss damaged gas because it can gunk up an equipment’s fuel lines or cause other problems, even if diluted. Do not use a drinking glass. The glass that you use should be designated just for gas tests and nothing else. Place a funnel with a coffee filter at the bottom into the opening of a container. Carefully pour your old gas into the funnel. The filter will help to catch any particles. Then, you can add the gas into lawn equipment or your vehicle. Just mix 1 part of old gas in with at least 5 parts new gas. If you don’t have a coffee filter handy, you can also use 2 pieces of thin cloth as a filter. Just drape the cloth over the entire funnel, pushing it slightly into the center, and then slowly pour the gas into the middle. If you have gas that is old, but otherwise good, go ahead and recondition it and put it to work inside a piece of lawn equipment. It will still fire an engine, but be prepared to get less efficient use out of this mixed tank of gas. You can also add filtered (but not mixed) gas directly to your tank using a “jerry can” (a gas container with an angled spout). For a tank that holds between 9–10 gallons (34.1–37.9 L), you can safely add a half-gallon at a time until the tank shows full. For a tank that holds 11 or more gallons, you can add the gas in intervals of ¾ gallon until full. You can tell when your tank is full by watching the metal safety valve in your gas tank. When you start to see any signs of gasoline at the valve, then it’s time to stop. You might also want to add a fuel additive into your tank or into the old gas container. The additive can help to break down any dangerous...

Get a hacksaw and place it against the antlers, at the point where the antlers meet the skull. Saw both the antlers off, while securing the skull so that it doesn’t move, altering the trajectory of the saw so that the cut is uneven. Consider using a clamp to hold the skull in place, so that it doesn’t move while you saw it. You need to remove all remaining organic material from the antlers. Scrub every part of the antler well, but give special attention to the area where the antlers met the skull cap. This is where hair and tissue are most likely to be hiding. Wire brushes are available at most hardware stores. They are abrasive enough to pick up tissue without requiring too much force. Fill a large cooking pot with water and, for best results, a pinch of salt. Allow it to reach a boil on a stove or a fire pit. Once it boils, submerge the entire antler in the cooking pot and allow to boil for 30 minutes.  This step is important for removing dangerous bacteria from the antlers. You should boil the antlers outside, otherwise they will stink up your house. Before beginning, test to see if the cooking pot is large enough to fit the antlers inside. All of the antlers should be submerged during boiling. If you don’t have any pots large enough, you can try using prongs to force them underwater or adjust them periodically during the boiling process. Keep prongs on hand that you can use to remove the antlers without burning yourself. The antlers will feel soft when you pull them out of the cooking pot, but they will harden up after a few minutes. Leave the antlers outside somewhere safe, where they will get sun and dry off. Do not, however, allow them to be out in the sun for more than 24 hours. The sun will erode the color of the antlers after more than a day of constant exposure.

Get a medium mixing bowl and combine three parts distilled water, one part isopropyl alcohol, and a few drops of dish detergent or dishwasher fluid. Stir these together gently. It is best to use distilled water in order to avoid some of the impurities that can be found in tap water. Be aware that there is some debate over whether or not to use alcohol as part of a cleaning solution for records. The alcohol may strip the record of its surface properties. So, be sure to use with caution and sparingly. Record stores and music stores often sell cleaners specifically designed for use on audio materials. Check the ingredients of any cleaner that you buy to make sure that you are comfortable with everything included. Make sure to follow the directions closely as well. Make sure to avoid household cleaning products, such as Windex. These cleaners are far too abrasive for records and can destroy the vinyl. You can buy these mats at record stores and they are generally made out of cork or another soft material. If you are worried about using liquids on top of your turntable, then a mat is a good idea. You can place the record flat on the mat and use the attached spindle to hold the record secure. Not all mats are designed for use with liquids. Before you clean with a solution make sure that your mat can handle it. Once you have a solution on hand, gently drizzle a few drops over the surface of the record. Or, moisten a towel with the solution and apply this moisture to the surface of the record. You want the record to be slightly damp, definitely not drenched. Grasp your towel and wipe in a counter-clockwise motion across the record, following the grooves. Be gentle, but apply enough pressure so that the towel makes contact with the interior parts of the groove. Use a totally fresh microfiber cloth to dry the entire record when finished. If you are not interested in cleaning your records by hand, then you can invest in a machine to do some of the work for you. There are machines that require special fluids, ones that...

Get a pack of sponges from your local convenient store. The cheaper sponges will do just fine. Look in the cleaning or cooking section and pick up a pack of five dish sponges. You'll also need a pen, ruler, scissors and string. If you're not as confident tying knots, you could use wire ties. Outlining with a pen will help you create even strips. These strips will come to make the ball. Orient your sponge so that it is in a horizontal position. Using your pen and ruler, mark five lines across your sponge, 1/2 an inch apart. If you don't have a ruler, you could just divide five lines with your pen, and use your best judgement. Using your scissors, cut along the lines you created with your pen. You should have five strips of the sponge afterwards. Be careful not to cut yourself. Watch over children handling this process. Prepare the strips of sponge together by creating two stacks.  One stack will have three strips and the other will have two. Position the stacks so they are touching each other.  Use your sting or wire ties to connect them.  Once they are tied together, fluff the strips out to form a ball shape. Use a standard knot. Don't use the knot you tie your shoe with because this could become undone. Repeat this process to however many sponge balls you wish to create.  For a colorful effect, combine two different colored sponges.  Take three strips of a yellow sponge and two strips of a blue sponge. Get creative and have fun!

Get a wok or large, deep saucepan and pour in 1 tablespoon (14.8 mL) of vegetable or olive oil. Place the wok on a burner and turn the burner on medium-high heat. Use a knife to finely chop one small onion and 3-4 cloves of garlic on a cutting board. Put the chopped garlic and onion into the wok and stir it with a large wooden spoon until it’s cooked and appears brown. For more flavor, chop and stir in tomatoes once the garlic and onion have browned. Put 2 sliced melons into the wok and continuously stir it while it cooks. After about 2 or 3 minutes, you should notice that the melon is beginning to turn slightly translucent, which means it’s almost cooked. After the melon has been cooking for 2-3 minutes, whisk 2 eggs and slowly pour them into the wok and over the melon pieces. Continue to stir fry until the eggs are cooked and dry. Move the wok to a cold burner and turn off the warm burner. Use your wooden spoon to scrape the food out of the wok and into a bowl. Sprinkle in some salt to taste, and serve with rice or noodles.

Get all of your tools and supplies together before you get started. To patch a hole the size of a golf ball, you will need:  Fiberglass mesh tape or sheetrock tape A small amount of joint compound A 4” drywall knife 220 grit sandpaper A piece of sheetrock tape soaked in water is cheapest but a patch sticks, flattens better, and is thinner.  Holes the size of a golf ball and smaller can also be backed with some tight fitting plug or lid or can simply be taped over. Any rise caused by the patch can be feathered out with joint compound. Use your drywall knife to get it on the wall and smooth it out.  Mud is usually held in a 'California Cake Pan' or small rectangular box about 4 x 12". If you are planning on doing a lot of sheet rock work in the future, it might be a good idea to purchase one. If you only plan on doing this one repair, don't waste the money. Some people also prefer using something called a “hawk.” This works well for stucco. Keep applying thin layers until they are feathered out and smooth. Once dry, sand your patch as needed with a 220 grit sandpaper. Keep going until you cannot feel any seams between the patch and the existing wall. Make sure that you have gotten all of the dust off the area that you created when you sanded. Make sure to prime the area first.

Get conversations started. You don’t have to pry too much to ask some fun conversation starter questions and to make people feel comfortable and happy about opening up. Here are some things you can ask people about:  An embarrassing moment they had as a kid A funny comedy sketch or show they saw recently A time when they really messed up or got in trouble A time when their first impressions were completely wrong The strangest place they ever visited Unless your rants are funny, it's best to keep things positive. Nobody likes a complainer or a downer. This can make your friends think that you’re no fun at all. If something is really bothering you, then write it down or tell a close friend, but avoid complaining loudly in a group setting if you want to be fun. Don't let other people complain too much, either. If other people around you are complaining too much, try to poke fun at the topic and steer the conversation in a more positive direction that is more likely to make people have fun. Fun people are comfortable with themselves and are happy to share personal experiences and ideas. If you open up, then the people around you will be more likely to open up, too, and you’ll create an environment that is more fun and welcoming. Here are some things you can open up about:  Funny moments in your childhood A time when you made a fool of yourself A botched attempt at romance Your relationship with a friend or relative who always cracks you up A ridiculous summer job you once had A blind date that went poorly Don't take yourself too seriously. If this means you have to open yourself to being the butt of a few jokes or clown around a bit, it can be a good time. Doing this will make other people more likely to loosen up a bit, also leading to a more fun situation.  Tell a funny story about something you did earlier that day that could make other people crack up. If you made an awkward comment, spilled coffee all over yourself, or made people stare at you for some reason, share the story all in good fun. If you trip or...

Get in the habit of making rushed runs to different rooms in your office, with a frowning look on your face, shuffling papers through your hands. When people see you, they'll think, "Must be really busy."  Always keep moving around when you're at work. If you're just sitting there doing nothing, someone will notice. But if you're all over the place, nobody will think to question whether you're doing something or just wandering around. If you're working on a computer, tilt your screen so nobody can see it and type furiously. Listen to music or podcasts instead. Does your boss need someone to sweep up the kitchen? Volunteer. Does somebody have to sit out back and sort boxes? Sounds good. The more brainless the task, the more like doing nothing it will be. The more stressful thinking required, the more difficult the job. Alternatively, it may be better to never volunteer for anything. If you ever find yourself standing around on the clock, just keep standing there. That's good money. Scotty said it best on Star Trek: "Tell the captain it's gonna take you four hours, so you can look like a genius when you get it done in two." If nobody else can do what you do, then nobody knows how long it should take. Tell your boss it took you all day to drive around selling ads, or that you're running into all sorts of problems filling out that report, so you haven't gotten it finished, and it'll probably take a few more hours. If you're already done, just sit there doing nothing and making your money. " An old adage from automotive factory lines, passed down from older hands to new workers was to just sit tight if something went wrong. If your machine stops working and the line stops, don't go running off to tell someone. Just stand there. You're getting paid either way. You don't have to work in a factory to abide by this basic rule. If you're ever working and something goes wrong, or breaks, just kick back. Put on your confused "trying-to-figure-it-out" face and scrutinize things closely, doing absolutely nothing. Some...

Get into the habit of finding activities you enjoy doing. Any type of physical activity that gets your blood pumping is ideal. Try activities like walking, jogging, running or aerobics to get you moving. Walking at a mall may be convenient. Especially if you are working in an office, or sitting in the same position for long periods at a time, taking a stretch break every hour of so can help to increase blood flow. Whether it's touching your toes with your hands, or getting up to take a quick walk and just moving your body, moving your muscles will encourage the blood to flow faster through the tissues, which will in turn help you to feel more energized and alive. If you find that you have poor circulation to the extremities (and many people find that their lower legs and feet are most significantly affected), try elevating your legs above the level of your heart. Try putting your legs up on an ottoman or another chair that is higher as the one you are sitting on. You can use a couple of pillows to ensure that your legs are high enough. If you find that your lower legs swell over the course of the day, poor circulatory return may be the cause of your problems. In this case, ask your doctor whether he or she recommends "compression stockings," and ask about where you can get them. They help to return the blood from your extremities back to your heart, which can contribute to improved blood flow. Massage can help not only to increase blood flow in the areas being massaged, but also to clear out any toxins that may be lingering from having had insufficient blood flow to that area. You can also ask your massage therapist about essential oils such as rosemary that may help to improve blood circulation.  If you cannot see a professional massage therapist, try doing it yourself. Massage areas of your body that are tight or tense. Inflammation from these muscles can block the pathways that oxygen uses to travel within the body. This often interferes with blood circulation and blood flow. By massaging these muscles,...

Get out 2 pounds (0.91 kg) of beef chuck (a roast cut of beef) and set it on a cutting board. If you prefer, use pork shoulder or another combination of meats, such as turkey or chicken breast. Cut the meat into 1 inch (2.5 cm) cubes and spread them on a plate or baking sheet. Transfer the plate or baking sheet to the freezer and chill the meat until it becomes crunchy on the surface.  Avoid freezing the meat until it's solid. This would make it difficult to grind. To save time, ask your butcher to grind the beef chuck for you. Then you can skip freezing and grinding the meat the first time. Verify that the meat is ground chuck when you purchase it. Use a spoon or a whisk to stir them until the spice mixture is combined and then set it aside while you grind the meat. You'll need to mix together:  1 teaspoon (3 g) of granulated onion 1 teaspoon (3 g) of granulated garlic 2 ½ teaspoons (15 g) of kosher salt 1 tablespoon (7 g) of sweet paprika ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) of white pepper ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground coriander ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground nutmeg Put the finest or smallest plate on your grinder and remove the beef chuck pieces from the freezer. Run all of the cubes of meat through the grinder so the ground meat falls into a clean bowl. Work quickly to keep the meat cold.  If your butcher already ground the chuck for you, skip this step. To prevent the meat from warming too quickly, you can put the grinder in the fridge or freezer while you're preparing the spice mixture. Add the spice mixture to the bowl with the ground chuck and use your hands to combine them. Dip your hands in a little of the ice-cold water to prevent the meat from sticking to your fingers. Ensure that the spices are evenly mixed into the meat so the hot dogs will be uniformly flavored. Cover the bowl with the spiced ground chuck and put it in the freezer. The meat needs to chill before you process it again. You'll also need to put a food processor bowl in the freezer to chill. You can set up your food processor while the meat's chilling....

Get out 2 pounds (907 g) of hanger steak and trim off any visible fat or silverskin (the tough white membrane on the outside of the meat). Place the steak in a shallow pan and rub it all over with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil. Cover the steak with these seasonings:  2 tablespoons (17 g) whole peppercorns 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves 4 large roughly chopped sprigs of parsley 1 large thinly sliced shallot 1 tablespoon kosher salt Put the seasoned steak into a seal-able plastic bag and squeeze out as much air as you can. Seal the bag and put the meat in the refrigerator to rest for at least 2 hours. If you want to prepare the meat in advance, you can marinate the meat overnight. When you're ready to cook the steak, turn a gas grill on to the highest setting. If you're using charcoal, heat the coals and spread them across one half of the grate to create a two-zone grill. Preheat the grill for at least 10 minutes before you put the steaks on. Take the steak out of the marinade and sprinkle it with more kosher salt. Put the steak on the hot side of the grill and let it cook for about 8 minutes. You should turn the steak every once in a while so it cooks evenly. The steak should be about 125 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C) for medium-rare to medium. Place the cooked steak on a plate and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes so it finishes cooking and is easier to slice. Use a sharp knife to cut the steak against the grain into strips. Serve it immediately.

Get out 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of potatoes and rinse them well. If there are patches of dirt, take a produce brush and gently scrub the potatoes to remove the dirt. You can roast any type of potato. Floury potatoes, such as Russets, will have light, fluffy centers after roasting while waxy potatoes, such as yellow or red potatoes, have a rich, deep flavor. Transfer the potato pieces to a large mixing bowl and pour 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) of olive oil over them. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons (8 g) of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon (2 g) of freshly ground black pepper. Then, mix in another seasoning if you'd like a distinctive flavor. Try adding 1 of the following: 2 tablespoons (17 g) of minced garlic 1 teaspoon (2 g) of curry powder 1 tablespoon (6 g) of garlic powder 1 tablespoon (6 g) of smoked paprika Let the potatoes roast without moving them around on the pan. This helps them develop a good crust on 1 side. Then, put on an oven mitt and use a spatula to carefully flip the potato pieces over.You'll hear the potatoes sizzle as they release moisture in the hot oven. Turn off the oven and carefully take the baking sheet out of the oven. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of freshly minced parsley over the potatoes and serve them while they're still hot.  Substitute your favorite fresh herbs for the parsley. Use finely minced rosemary, sage, or oregano, for instance. You can refrigerate leftover potatoes in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Get out a bowl and pour 1 cup (240 ml) of warm milk into it. Whisk in 2 teaspoons (5.5 g) of dry instant yeast, 2 tablespoons (25 g) of sugar, and ½ teaspoon (3 g) of salt. The milk should be between 40 °F (4 °C) to 60 °F (16 °C). Set the bowl aside for 5 to 10 minutes to activate the yeast. If the yeast activates properly, the mixture will become foamy. You can combine the dry ingredients while the yeast activates. If your mixture doesn't foam after 10 minutes, your yeast may expired. Start again with yeast that isn't expired or the dough won't rise. Get out a large mixing bowl and measure 4 cups (500 g) of all-purpose flour into it. Whisk in 2 teaspoons (9 g) of baking powder, and 1/2 cup (100 g) of sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable oil and a few drops of lime juice. Keep stirring until the oil is incorporated. The lime juice will help make the siopao dough whiter. Pour the activated yeast mixture into the dry, Knead the dough for 3 to 5 minutes.

Get out a large bowl and set it in front of you on the countertop. Remove the blender from its base and empty the contents into a manual sifter. You'll use the sifter to extract usable flour little by little as you go.  If you don't own a sifter, a regular wire strainer will serve the same function. Be careful while dumping out the flour. One wrong move and you could have a big mess on your hands! Position the sifter over the bowl and begin turning the crank slowly. The rotating action of the sifter will help separate the powdery rice flour from larger pieces that haven't been blended as thoroughly. Keep sifting until all the flour is gone, then shake out whatever is left.  To sift with a strainer, shake the flour gently with one hand while tapping the edge of the strainer with the other. Shake the sifter periodically to dislodge flour that's become stuck in the mesh. Whatever rice didn't get ground small enough on its first trip through the blender can go back through. This time, blend the rice on a high speed to ensure that the flour achieves a fluffy, powdery texture.  Take advantage of free space in the blender by adding a little more rice each time. Should you have trouble getting the rice down to a small enough size, experiment with multiple processing methods. For instance, move the rice from the blender to a coffee grinder. Keep repeating this process until all of the rice has been turned into to usable flour. Depending on the strength of your blender and the amount of rice you're using, it may take 20-30 minutes to produce a cup of finely-ground brown rice flour.  Make sure the rice has been processed thoroughly. If it's too coarse, it may not produce the desired effect when it comes time to cook with it. On average, 1.5-2 cups of rice will yield roughly 1 cup of rice flour.

Get out a microwave-safe plate that's large enough to hold several pieces of turkey bacon. Lay a paper towel on the plate. Lay 4 slices of turkey bacon on the paper towel-lined plate so they're in a single layer. If you want to cook more than 4 slices, you'll need to microwave them in batches. Place the plate in the microwave and ensure that your microwave is set to 100% power. Microwave the turkey bacon in 30 second increments until it's hot and crisp. Wear an oven mitt to remove the hot plate of turkey bacon from the microwave. Serve the turkey bacon while it's still hot. If you want to store the leftover turkey bacon, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. The turkey bacon will probably lose some of its crispiness the longer it's stored.

Get out a small bowl and measure all of the dry rub ingredients into it. Stir the mixture until the spices are well mixed. You'll need:  2 tablespoons (25 g) packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons (36 g) kosher salt 2 teaspoons (4 g) ground ancho chile 2 teaspoons (4 g) ground chipotle chile 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) onion powder Get out 3 1/2 pounds (1.6 kg) of country-style pork ribs and spread the dry rub across them. Use your fingers to work the dry rub into the meat on all sides. Transfer the seasoned ribs to a seal able plastic bag or a long baking dish that you can cover. Put the ribs in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 8 hours or overnight. An hour before you want to grill the ribs, take them out of the refrigerator. Let the ribs sit out at room temperature to take the chill off. This will help them cook evenly. Turn a gas grill on between medium and medium-high heat or heat charcoal briquettes. Pour the hot, ashy briquettes directly in the center of the grill grate. The temperature of the grill should be between 350 °F (177 °C) and 450 °F (232 °C). Place the seasoned ribs so the flatter sides are facing down on the grill. Put the lid on the grill and cook them for 5 to 7 minutes. The ribs should become dark brown and crisp on one side. Lift the lid off of the grill and use long tongs to turn the ribs over. Put the lid back on the grill and cook the ribs for 5 to 7 more minutes. They should become crispy and browned. Remove the lid and move the ribs, so they're resting up on their thinnest sides. You might have to set them next to each other or use a rib rack to get them to stay up. Put the lid on the grill and cook them for four to six minutes. Take the lid off the grill and use tongs to turn the ribs to the other thin side. Put the lid back on and grill them for another four to six minutes, so they are browned and crispy on all four sides.

Get out a small bowl and pour 1/4 (60 ml) of water into it. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of powdered gelatin evenly over the water. Don't stir the gelatin into the water. Instead, just let it sit for 5 minutes.  The gelatin will begin to soak up the water as it stands. Wash 2 pints (680 g) of strawberries and put half of them aside. Use a sharp knife to trim off the stems from 1 pint (340 g) of the strawberries. Chop the strawberries into pieces. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the sugar over the strawberries and let them sit for several minutes while you prepare the rest of the strawberries. Letting the strawberries sit with the sugar is known as macerating the fruit. This will help the strawberries release their liquid and make the strawberry flavor stronger. Transfer the sugared strawberries to a food processor or blender and blitz the strawberries until they're slightly chunky. Set these aside and get out the remaining pint of whole strawberries. Trim off the stems and slice the strawberries. Sprinkle the last 3 tablespoons of sugar over the sliced berries. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can use a fork or potato masher to mash the strawberries. Set a fine-mesh strainer in the sink or over a bowl and place the sliced and sugared berries in the strainer.

Get the whole family involved! Come up with ways for your family to spend time together. This can be a weekly tradition or something fun you do once each year. Your children can create shared memories together.  Hold a weekly make-your-own pizza night, whip up some warm cookies together on the weekends, or head to the park for an afternoon of swinging and climbing. Take the party outside by planning fun sibling outings. Check out the amusement parks, climbing gyms, or children’s museums in your area. If you want to double the bonding, choose an activity that requires teamwork and group problem solving, like camping. Infants and toddlers can also participate in out-of-the-house festivities. Take all the kids to the pool or beach and encourage your older child to play with water toys while the infant floats safely near them. Instead of letting your children compete against each other, let them compete against you and your partner. A little light-hearted rivalry can be a blast, plus teaming up against the grown ups is a great way to strengthen sibling bonds. For example, you can play hide and seek, a board game, tag, or even start a water fight! Comparing your children is one of the fastest roads to sibling resentment.  Remember that your children are different people. They do things differently and have different likes and dislikes, and that’s perfectly fine. Try not to take sides and don’t pick a favorite. Try not to say things like, “Your brother never…” or “Your sister always…”, and steer clear of the ever-dangerous “Why can’t you be more like your sibling?”

It can be fairly easy to trap salamanders in ponds or near other bodies of water. By putting together trapping materials before you start, you can effectively catch your salamander(s). You’ll need the following items:  24 ft. of 18 inch wide aluminum window screening or 15 ft. of 28 inch wide screening for the cylinders 15 ft. of 36 inch wide fiberglass screening for the funnels 25 ft. of string or small rope for the handles Utility knife and scissors for cutting the screen and rope Stapler with 1000 staples  A small fish net if you want to catch or other container, such as a jar with some water in it. Make sure it has holes in the lid so the salamander can breathe. A glow stick or outdoor light bulb, which studies have shown can be an effective bait for trapping amphibians. Although you can purchase commercially made funnel traps for salamanders, they may not be as effective as traps you make yourself. Using the material you gathered, put together your funnel trap and place it in the water to catch your new pets.  Cut a rectangular piece of aluminum window screening using the scissors or utility knife for the cylinders.  Roll the cut piece of screening into a cylinder 18” long and 8” in diameter. Leave a 1” lip on the top of the cylinder by holding the 18” end  and rolling it towards the other end.  Staple the 1” screening lip along the base of the lip where it meets the cylinder screening to hold the cylinder and lip together.  Cut out two funnels from the fiberglass screening...

Get to know what your boyfriend likes and dislikes so that you can be more attentive to his needs. You can do this in little ways that will show him you are thinking of him.  For example, you might ask him about how a big meeting went at work and have a bottle of his favorite wine ready when he gets home. Or, if you know that he does not like birthday parties, then you might plan something low key to do on his birthday, like going to see a movie or checking out a new restaurant together. Try to think about what would be the best way to anticipate your boyfriend’s needs in everyday situations and for special occasions. Everyone likes to feel attractive and special. Tell your boyfriend about the things you like about him. Comment on his physique, his skills, or his intelligence. Make your compliments sincere. If he’s wearing a shirt that looks great on him, for example, touch his shoulder and say, “You look so hot in that shirt.” Show your boyfriend that you want to look good for him. Wear something that you know he likes. Wear a cute pair of jeans you when you go out for dinner, or spend a little extra time grooming before you meet up with him. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show that you care about someone. A small gift simply shows that you were thinking of him. Don’t go over the top, but look out for ways to give him things that he likes.  For example, if you happen to be on a trip, bring him back a souvenir. If you go to the store, bring him his favorite bag of chips. Give things that don’t cost money. If you know that he is interested in a certain type of music, for example, make him a playlist or send him a music video. Thoughtful gifts will show him that you really know and care for him as a person. A busy work or school life can be overwhelming and stressful. Offer to help your boyfriend with the little things he may not have time to do during the day, or simply help him do something just for the fun of it. Offering to help shows that you support him and his goals.  Help him finish an...

Get up and get moving. The mood-enhancing effects of exercise are well documented. Exercise can reduce stress hormones and can boost your energy and mood. Aim for 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise every day. Some useful, uplifting forms of exercise include:  Yoga Swimming Hiking Clear out your pantry and fridge of your favorite comfort foods. You can't eat what isn't there. And now that you've been keeping a food diary and know the foods you tend to you binge on, take this knowledge with you to the grocery store.  If you lose yourself in cookies and chips, two of the most common trigger foods, make sure and avoid the prepackaged sweets and snacks aisles. Stick to the perimeter of the grocery store. Cookies, chips, soda, and other unhealthy snacks are usually found in the aisles of grocery stores, while you'll find things like produce, fresh meat, and sea food around around the perimeter of the store. Resist the urge to pull into your favorite drive-through on the way home from work. The pressures of the day could cause you to impulsively order large quantities of high fat, sugary treats. If your willpower is still slipping and you find yourself sitting in line anyway, consider ordering a healthier salad or low-calorie menu item instead of your usual non-nutritious fare.

Get your hair completely wet before applying the shampoo. Warm water is both soothing and healing to your hair. The temperature helps expand your hair shafts and allow them to better absorb the purple shampoo. Apply the purple shampoo to your hair from root to tip. Massage the shampoo in gently as you work the shampoo through your hair, lathering the shampoo in as you go. Pay special attention to hit your hair's "problem areas"—brassy or yellowed strands that you're hoping to treat with the shampoo.  If you're using purple shampoo on highlights, only apply the shampoo to blond streaks. Purple shampoo does not affect dark hair. Prioritize your roots while shampooing to prevent damaged hair in the future. If your hair is a warmer, natural blonde color and has mild brassiness, 2-3 minutes should be enough time. After several minutes have passed, rinse your hair out with cool water.  Your roots will need more time to absorb the shampoo than your ends, which is why you apply the shampoo there first. Ends are more porous and change tones easily. The recommended time may vary slightly from brand to brand. The shampoo may need to be left on for up to 5 mins. If your hair is significantly discolored or you have recently dyed your hair blonde, leave the shampoo in for 5 to 15 minutes. Your hair may need more time to fully absorb the tone. Then, wash the shampoo out of your hair with cool water.  If you have never used purple shampoo before, try leaving it in for 5-10 minutes and washing it off. If you notice little or no difference in color after drying your hair, try 10-15 minutes for your next treatment. If you leave the shampoo on longer than 15 minutes, expect lilac tinting to be left in your hair. While this could work for gray or silver hair, your natural blonde look could be ruined. Although individuals with darker hair may worry about draining their hair of color, silver and platinum benefits from leaving the shampoo in longer. Keep the shampoo in your hair for up to half an hour before rinsing, depending on...

Get your hands on a trumpet, guitar, or trombone, and make a few notes. It won't be music yet, but it'll give you some idea of whether or not the instrument is fun to play, and worth spending some time with.  Typically, if you want to sign up for band or orchestra at your school, call-outs are regularly held during which the directors allow you to experiment with instruments and select one. Go to one of these call-outs and check out all the different kinds of instruments. Most instrument stores are excited to share their instruments with you and let you give them a shot. They might even be able to show you a few things. If you're starting out in a school band, check and see what instruments the band includes. Most concert bands in schools have clarinets, flutes, saxophones, tubas, baritones, trombones, trumpets, and percussion as starter instruments, and let you advance to other instruments like oboe, bassoon, and horn later on. You can begin making your decision from the instruments that are available. You can also ask the director which instruments they are short of—he or she will be very grateful if you can fill an empty spot. You may want to play the baritone sax, but the band already has three players. You may have to first start on the clarinet, then move to alto sax, and finally switch to bari when a slot opens up. If you're starting out in middle school, and smaller than the average student, a tuba or trombone may not be the right instrument for you. You could try trumpet or cornet instead.  If you're younger or still losing teeth, you may find it hard to play some brass instruments because your teeth aren't very strong yet. If you have small hands or fingers, the bassoon may not be for you, although there are bassoons made for beginners with some keys for small hands. Think of how braces will affect your tone, especially for most brass. Find out whether you'll need them, or when any current braces will come off.

Getting adequate sleep helps build memory and will help you parse physics questions easier. If you cram all night and get no rest, there’s a good chance you won’t retain the information you studied.  Even if your exam is midday, it’s better to wake up early and be mentally prepared in advance. Since physics requires complex critical thinking, it's best to take the test when you're awake and aware. Sticking to a regular sleeping schedule will help reinforce what you learn when you study. Eating a breakfast high in slow-release carbohydrates like rolled porridge oats or whole grain bread can improve student performance during exams. You should also consume proteins like eggs, yogurt, or milk to keep you feeling fuller for longer. To give yourself an extra boost of energy, finish off your breakfast with fruits high in fiber, like apples, bananas, or pears. Eating a healthy breakfast before the exam will help you retain information better. Inhale deeply through your nose and out of your mouth if you’re feeling stressed. Know what building and room your exam is in and how to get there before the day of your test. Get to the test at least 15 minutes early to eliminate any nerves that might build from being late. The more you’ve studied and prepared, the more confident you’ll feel during the test. Before you start answering the question, you should fully understand it. If you are stumped on a question, skip over it and revisit it at a later time. Read over each question carefully and completely so that you don’t waste time finding incorrect solutions. Take special note of unit conversions so that you don't get the wrong solution. Most physics teachers will award partial credit even if you can’t figure out the solution to the problem. Write detailed explanations and draw diagrams to explain your reasoning. Even if you get the math wrong, understanding the underlying concept may get you partial credit for the question.

Getting an internship at a magazine, newspaper, website or book publisher is a great way to start making contacts, gain experience and learn about the business. Smaller companies may offer more opportunities to do more, while larger companies may be more prestigious on your resume. Target specific companies in which you are interested and contact their human resources departments to inquire about internships. Alternately, visit a career counselor at a university to get suggestions that will best suit your interests and skill set. Searching online or print job listings may also turn up internships. Internships are often offered as unpaid jobs. They may offer college credit in return, but they can also be quite burdensome financially for someone who is looking to get started in the industry. Be aware of regulations around unpaid internships. There has been a lot of debate about whether it is a legal practice, as many internships are merely methods to reducing labor costs. Generally, internships should be beneficial to the intern, resulting in a quality educational experience (i.e., not just getting coffee for your boss), and interns should not displace regular staff. Smaller publications might have smaller audiences, lower budgets and narrower reach, and they are often very niche-oriented (hobbyist publications, for example). These typically have a smaller staff, which may mean that all positions need to take on more responsibility. This will enable you to get valuable experience in a leadership role and to work your way up the ladder. You may become the editor-in-chief sooner than if you were at a larger publication. Alternately, you may then be able to transfer to a larger-sized publication. Smaller-sized publications are by no means the “easier route.” They can be tougher, because often they do not come with a legacy audience; rather they may need to build up their audiences from scratch. They may also struggle with finances more, which means an editor-in-chief must be inventive and savvy in strategizing how...

Getting charged with a crime is extremely stressful, and even innocent people say regrettable things under stress. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. You also don't have to answer any questions before you are arrested, either. Refrain from commenting on the allegations until you have an attorney present. An attorney can help you respond and object to any improper questioning. If you have been accused of a crime and the prosecutor decides to charge you, you will need to defend yourself in court. If you cannot afford a criminal defense attorney, a public defender will be provided for you. Some people believe that innocent people don't need lawyers, or that hiring a lawyer is an admission of guilt. If you have been falsely accused of a crime, you need a lawyer to help plan and present your defense. There is too much at stake to try to represent yourself. Under a plea bargain, a defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for some benefit, such as a reduced sentence or lesser charge. Courts and prosecutors are overloaded with work, so prosecutors customarily offer plea bargains to lessen the caseload. Plea bargains can be enticing, even to innocent defendants, because the accused has option to end the whole process by pleading guilty and accepting a lesser punishment than he or she might face at trial. Remember though that a criminal conviction will affect your future. Don't be bullied into accepting blame for something you did not do. At the trial, the prosecution will argue and present evidence to try to corroborate the accuser's story. As the defendant, you will present evidence to refute the accuser's narrative and to support your own version of the events. Look for evidence and witnesses that can prove that you were not involved or present when the events took place. Your attorney will conduct discovery, which is the formal process by which attorneys collect and exchange information about the case.  For example, you can use a receipt from a gas station showing the date and time to...

Getting enough sleep every night will ensure that your body is rested and consequently that your eyes look rested. Get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Going to bed and getting up at consistent times will help your body adjust to getting the right amount of sleep. Beautiful eyes rely on hydration, and keeping your body hydrated will help replenish your body’s fluids, thus reducing puffiness and redness in your eyes. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of plain water every day, or approximately 64 ounces. Drinking throughout the day is a good approach. If you are in a particularly dry climate, you might want to increase your water intake. Similarly, if you are exercising, you should replenish the water your body loses through sweat with additional water consumption. Smoking irritates the eyes and can cause redness. It can also dry out the eyes. Eliminating smoking from your daily habits can help your eyes restore their natural color and hydration. Both of these will dehydrate your body and add to puffiness and redness to your eyes. Cutting down on your intake of both will help your body restore its balance of hydration. Remember that it's not just coffee that has caffeine; some foods also contain caffeine, such as chocolate. Alcohol and caffeine also can interrupt good sleep patterns, which may interfere with you getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Reducing the amount of foods that contain refined carbohydrates and sugars, as well as wheat, can help your body process foods better. Decrease the amount of unhealthy foods you eat, particularly at night. Increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin A, C and E, including vegetables such as spinach, kale, carrots, collard greens, and fruits such as oranges, melons, strawberries, peaches and avocados. Also eat more protein, such as poultry, red meat, eggs and dairy. Dark circles under the eyes may be a sign of a dairy or gluten intolerance or other food allergy. If you continually have dark circles under your eyes, you may want to try eliminating certain foods from...

Getting familiar with the types of hyperpigmentation will help you determine the right course of treatment and give you ideas for lifestyle changes you can make to prevent further discoloration from occurring. Understand that hyperpigmentation does not only occur on your face. Here are the four types of hyperpigmentation:   Melasma. This type of hyperpigmentation is caused by hormonal fluctuations, and is a normal occurrence during pregnancy. It can also occur as a result of thyroid dysfunction and as a side effect of taking birth control pills or hormone therapy medication. This is a difficult type of hyperpigmentation to treat.  Lentigines. These are also known as liver spots or age spots. They are found on 90% of people over the age of 60, and are usually caused by exposure to UV rays. Non-solar lentigines is caused by a larger systemic disorder.  Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). This is caused by skin injury such as psoriasis, burns, acne, and some skin care treatments. It usually goes away as the skin regenerates and heals.  Drug-induced hyperpigmentation. This secondary hyperpigmentation, known as lichen planus, occurs when drugs cause an inflammation and eruption on the skin. It is non-contagious. See a dermatologist to find out what type of hyperpigmentation is affecting your skin. After asking you questions about your lifestyle and medical history, your skin will be examined using a magnifying lamp. Expect your dermatologist to ask the following questions to help determine what type of hyperpigmentation you have:  How frequently do you use a tanning bed? How often do you use sunscreen? What is your level of sun exposure? What are your current and past medical conditions? Are you or have you recently been pregnant? Are you or have you recently taken birth control or done hormone replacement therapy? What medications are you taking? What plastic surgery or professional skin treatments have you undergone? Did you wear sun screen or UV protection in your youth?

Getting loved ones to attend family counseling together might take some effort and organization. Whether you’re trying to convince your spouse, your parents, or your siblings, you’ll first need to have a frank talk. Ask your loved ones to sit down so you can communicate your desire with them.  Let your loved ones know that you want to have an important talk, i.e. “Bill, I have something really important that I want to talk about with you. Can we sit down together?” This will help them focus their attention and also communicate that they should take what you have to say seriously. Pick a good time and place for your conversation. Choose a moment when your loved ones are not busy but can give you all their attention. You might approach them in the evening, for example, after they return from work and are settling down. Choose a moment when your family members are relaxed and at ease. Avoid bringing up the subject in a public place or if you are fighting. The whole point of talking to your loved ones is to propose family counseling, so be direct and to-the-point. At the same time, be prepared for some possible push-back. Approach the topic gently and with patience and try not to get angry or defensive.  Try saying something like, “Maria, I’ve been thinking and wonder if we might communicate better with some help. What do you think about family counseling?” Show empathy, i.e. “I know this is a hard conversation, but I’m only saying this because I care about you and our relationship. I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t love you and want things to be better between us.” Since your loved ones might not be receptive to what you say, consider using “I” statements, i.e. “I think that family counseling could help us” or "I'd really try and find a way to stop fighting with you, and I think having some help would be useful for me." This wording can help you express your feelings but avoid language that assigns blame to others. Your loved ones might be more receptive to the idea of family counseling if you focus on how it can...

Getting pure oil will ensure that you don't end up applying unknown chemicals or ingredients on your skin. Look at that label and make sure it say 100% pure tea tree oil, as products and their concentrations can vary. Even if you plan on diluting the tea tree oil, purchase 100% tea tree oil. This will allow you to control what you use to dilute or mix into your oil. Use a mild soap or cleanser to clean the area that has acne. Then dry the skin, as the tea tree oil should be applied to a dry surface. It's important to apply tea tree oil to clean skin, as it's easier for the tea tree oil to clean pimples and acne when the skin on top is already clean. Before applying tea tree oil to your acne, you should test it on a healthy spot of skin. Dab a drop of the oil on your hand or other easily accessible spot of skin and let it sit there for a few minutes. If it does not irritate your skin at all, then it is appropriate to use on your acne.  If the tea tree oil does irritate your skin, you can either decide not to use it at all or dilute it down enough so it doesn't irritate your skin. Common side effects of tea tree oil include irritation, redness, or dried skin. If you find that pure, undiluted tea tree oil is a little too harsh, irritating, or drying on your skin, try using it in a homemade spot treatment. Simply mix a couple of drops of tea tree oil into 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel, water, or a neutral oil, such as coconut or olive oil.  Tea tree oil can be very helpful for treating acne even when it is only 5% of the spot treatment solution.  You can also try mixing tea tree oil with raw, organic honey. Honey also contains antibacterial properties and promotes skin healing. Tea tree oil combined with honey can make a nice mask or paste. Store your spot treatment in a small glass container so it is available for easy application. Pour a few drops the tea tree oil or solution onto a cotton bud, cotton pad, tissue, or your fingertip. Then gently dab it directly to your pimples. Just a small amount of oil will...

Getting rid of mementos, as mentioned above, will help you avoid triggering memories. There are, however, other triggers that you should be mindful of. You are not going to always be able to avoid them, but doing your best not to seek out mental triggers will help you heal in the long run.  Triggers can be anything from a song that was playing when you two started your relationship. Perhaps it will be the coffee shop where you spent so much time studying Latin together, or to even a smell that brings forth a memory. You may often encounter triggers. When you do, acknowledge the trigger and the memories it brings up, and then move on. Do not linger over the feelings and memories. For example, if you see a picture of the two of you when you are on Facebook, acknowledge the sadness and regret that you feel, turn your attention to something positive or neutral (like what you are wearing tomorrow, or the new kitty you are getting). Do not to try to avoid all triggers all the time. You cannot do that. What you need to try to do is minimize the things that will hurt you and be a reminder of the past. This way, you can get on with the healing process. It turns out that music can have a therapeutic effect on any mood, and it can most certainly help your healing process. Put on some feel-good, up-beat songs and dance, sing, and dust the blues away. Science has shown that listening to them can trigger the release of endorphins, lifting your spirits and combating stress.  Avoid sappy sad romantic songs. These will not trigger good chemicals in your brain. Instead, they will feed into your feelings of sadness and heartache. When you find yourself falling into a pit of sadness and anger, that's a good time to put on good tunes to help lift your spirits. Putting on dance music can couple the endorphins from listening to the music with endorphins from dancing. After you have gotten over the initial grieving process and dealt with your emotions, you should spend some time distracting yourself. Maybe you have some hobbies you...
