As you age it is important to keep up with good dental hygiene. The core part of good dental hygiene is brushing your teeth twice a day. This removes food particles and bacteria that causes tooth decay. Your tooth sensitivity may increase as you age. This can be minimized by using a soft toothbrush and desensitizing toothpaste. In addition to brushing your teeth, you need to clean between them. This can't be done effectively with a toothbrush. Instead, it is done with floss or a flossing device.  If you don't floss, plaque, food, and bacteria can build up between your teeth. Be careful when you are flossing below the gum line that you don't damage your gums, especially if you take medication that causes you to bleed more easily. It is important that you get enough fluoride as you age, as it can help protect your teeth from the wear and tear that comes with use. For older people, it is especially important in protecting the delicate teeth surface below the gum line, as the gums usually recede as one ages. You can get fluoride from fluoride toothpaste, a fluoride rinse, or from fluoridated water, which is common in many cities. If you have full or partial dentures it is important for you to clean them as well. Take them out every night, be sure to clean them thoroughly, soak them, and rinse them before putting them back in your mouth.  When you get your dentures you should be instructed on how to clean them properly. This usually includes soaking them over night and brushing them with denture cleaner. You should also clean the inside of your mouth after you take your dentures out. Be sure to brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth. Smoking can cause severe damage to your teeth over time. If you are a smoker you have a higher chance of getting gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss, in addition to other health problems. Talk to your doctor about smoking cessation programs that might be available to you. It is never too late to stop smoking. In order to keep your teeth healthy for a long time, it is...

As you and your brother grew up together, you've probably had your share of fights. However, sometimes squabbles cross a line and become hostile acts or even bully-like behavior. In those instances, it's best to get a parent involved who can mediate the situation and take action as needed.  Picking on a sibling is normal. However, if your brother continuous to torment you about the same topic over several days or weeks, it might be bully behavior. If your brother doesn't apologize or try to make up with you after a fight, or continues to show hostility towards you at all times, it's a sign of bullying. Having some type of advantage, like being bigger/older/more popular, can quickly turn simple sibling rivalries into a bullying situation. If you think your brother is legitimately bullying you, talk to a parent right away. If you believe that a situation is out of control and you haven't been able to reach any kind of agreement on your own, it may be helpful to have one or both parents moderate a conversation. This can allow both you and your brother to express your thoughts and feelings on the conflict in a safe, supportive environment. Your parents can also help keep the peace if a disagreement arises, and ultimately give some type of command on how to proceed.  Have your parents sit down with both of you individually, then together to moderate a family discussion. Encourage your parents to try and find a solution that makes everyone happy. Ideally, you should be able to arrive at some type of win/win situation. If you were unsuccessful at reaching a compromise on your own with your brother, your parents' final say in the matter should resolve the conflict. If your parents are ignoring your brother's aggressive, annoying, or otherwise problematic behavior, you may need to bring it to their attention. Ask your parents to be fair and apply the same rules to both you and your brother, and to enforce the rules to keep the peace.  Your parents may not be aware of the situation, or may not realize its extent. It's...

As you begin thinking of ideas for your children’s book, it’s very helpful to read others’ work. Go to your library or children’s bookstore and spend a few hours browsing. Think about which books appeal to you most, and why.  Do you want your book to have illustrations, or will it be text-only? Do you want to write fiction or non-fiction? Non-fiction or informational books require research or knowledge of the subject matter and can be good if you're an expert about something like dinosaurs, meteors or machinery. For good fiction inspiration, read the classics. Don't limit yourself to recent works––go back in time and read stories that have withstood the test of time and try to find for yourself what it is about them that is so everlasting. For example, check out such books as: Goodnight Moon, Where the Wild Things Are, The Polar Express, and other favorites. Check out fairy tales. The entertainment industry is currently experiencing a greatly revived interest in fairy tales and turning them modern. Since the majority of fairy tales are in the public domain, you're free to snaffle up characters and plots and take them to completely new places with totally new attitudes! The term “children’s books” covers everything from board books with one word on a page to chapter books, novels and non-fiction factual books written for kids in middle school and teens (young adults). The plot, content, and themes of your book need to be age appropriate for your intended readers for them to be appealing (remember that parents are the ultimate gatekeepers who can determine whether or not a child reads your book).  Picture books are suitable for younger children. They tend to be in full color, which makes them more expensive to print, so bear that in mind. On the plus side, they tend to be shorter, but then your writing needs to be very good to grab interest and keep the story tight. Chapter books and non-fiction/informational books are for older children. Starting with easy-readers through to teen novels, there is a great deal...

As you build each aspect of the game, play it to ensure that it remains fun and cohesive. If an area or idea feels weak or poorly implemented, refine it or cut it. Once all of your levels or puzzles or play areas are complete, play through it to make sure it is fun from beginning to end. Throughout the development process, you should be constantly checking to see that your game is attaining that philosophy. Make sure that you are sticking to your feature list, and that you aren't getting bogged down by more and more additions. Constantly go back over your art, sound, and game design to smooth rough edges and bring out your game's distinct style. Your ability to quickly polish will be heavily dependent on the art style you have chosen to use.

As you might know, lice are little — about the size of a sesame seed — and can be white, brown, gray, or dark gray. They're most common around the ears and the back of the neck, and feed off of human blood. Nits are much more noticeable on darker-colored hair but lice is more noticeable on lighter hair.  The most common symptom of head lice is itchiness in and around the back of the neck. In many children, lice don't produce any symptoms until weeks or months after they've moved in. For this reason, it's important to do regular visual check-ups with a fine-toothed comb in order to spot an infestation as early as possible.  Doctors recommend combing for lice after the child has taken a bath/shower, while their hair is still wet. Because head lice commonly affect young children in school, it's important to be vigilant about situations in which children may share certain objects. Although you probably want to encourage your children to share certain things, you probably want to discourage them from sharing the following:  Hats Headbands Hair accessories Pillows Combs Any other objects that promote direct head-to-head contact between a carrier and potential carrier. Obviously, although lice are irksome, they're not to be avoided like an infectious disease. Instead, be aware of anyone who may have had lice or is being treated. Knowledge is power. If somebody had lice and was treated, but it has not been two weeks since their treatment, make sure you try to avoid contact with any of their fabrics. You don't have to be afraid of them, but casually avoid situations which involve contact with them, especially head-to-head contact. Lice can commonly occur in schools or summer camps. If your school or camp doesn't give out regular checks, ask the nurse for one every once in a while. If the nurse is unavailable, schedule an appointment with your child's general practitioner to check for lice. Lice is especially common among elementary aged children during winter.

As you prepare to write your outline, you need to specifically identify the research problem you are trying to address. This will guide the entire formation of your outline and your paper.  From this research problem, you will derive your thesis statement. A thesis statement is a single sentence that sums up the entire purpose or argument of your research paper. This thesis statement will usually be written above the outline itself or within the first "Introduction" heading of the outline. Your research problem can also help you figure out a title. You also need to figure out what main points you plan on covering. All of these main points will be listed in your introduction and listed as part or all of you major headings for the body part of your paper. The main points are details that support or address your research paper. They should be very general in nature. Take a look at your research topic and determine the best possible order to deliver information. You might end up using a chronological arrangement or a spatial arrangement, but as a general rule, you will go from general ideas to specific ones.  Chronological arrangements generally only work if you have a topic that has some chronological history to it. For example, if you were researching the history of modern medicine, it would make sense that your paper and outline follow a chronological order. If your research topic does not have a history, though, you will probably end up using a spatial structure. For instance, if you are researching the effects of television and video games on the adolescent brain, you probably would not follow the chronology of the research. Instead, you might describe the different contemporary schools of thought on the issue or otherwise follow some other spatial arrangement of ideas. Your first and last headings will be your "Introduction" and "Conclusions" sections, respectively. The other major headings will be represented by the main or major categories of your paper. Some instructors will insist that you do not use...

As you recover from Zika, make sure that you drink plenty of fluids. You can become dehydrated when you have Zika, and having a fever can make dehydration even worse. Drink at least the minimum amount of water each day (8 cups of water per day is recommended as the minimum), if not more.  Drinking non-caffeinated tea and/or electrolyte sports beverages is also a good way to stay hydrated. Stay away from coffee and alcohol as you recover because they will dehydrate you even more. One of the best and easiest ways to boost the strength of your immune system is to get plenty of rest. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night until you have recovered from Zika.  You may also want to take a few days off work and avoid any stressful or physically demanding activities as you recover. Try some relaxing activities as well such as reading a good book, watching a program on TV, or listening to some soothing music. Since you will be relying on the natural strength of your immune system to fight off Zika, using strategies to boost your immune system may help. Be aware that there are no peer-reviewed studies supporting the use of supplements or vitamins to bolster your immune system. All evidence is anecdotal, so the following may or may not have an effect (but may be worth a try anyway).   Vitamin C. Take around 500 to 1000 milligrams of vitamin C daily to help boost your immune system.  Zinc. The recommended daily intake of zinc for adult men is 11 milligrams and the recommended daily intake for women is eight milligrams.  Garlic. Try drinking a tea made from a few cloves of crushed garlic or add a few cloves of minced garlic to your food each day.  Echinacea. Drinking a few cups of Echinacea tea daily may help as well. You can also take 300 milligram capsules of Echinacea capsules three times daily.

As you take in air through your nose, count from one to four, making sure not to rush. This counting exercise will help you regulate your breaths and concentrate on breathing deeply. Remember to let your belly move outward and breathe from your diaphragm.  This breathing exercise acts as a kind of sedative. Whenever you're feeling particularly stressed out or in need a quick way to calm down, find a quiet place to practice 4-7-8 breathing. You can also use this breathing exercise to help you fall asleep. Relax and hold it, not breathing in or out, as you wait for seven seconds. You can count in your head or use a watch. Slowly let the air out through your mouth as you count to eight. Timing your exhale will help you make sure that it's about twice as long as your inhale, which is optimal for deep breathing. As you exhale, pull your stomach in to help expel as much air as you can. Breathe in again, hold it, and exhale completely. Remember to count every time so that the 4-7-8 ratio always stays the same. After four breaths, you should feel a sense of calm. Repeat the exercise for several more breaths if needed.

As you'll want to continue minimizing the amount of smoke your cigarette produces, the best way to put it out is through water. Hold the cigarette in your hand and gently douse it underneath a faucet. Make sure to keep the cigarette in your hand; if much of the ash falls down the drain, it could lead to clogging. The definition of an 'ashtray' will depend on where you were discarding the ash while smoking. Often, a small plate or cup will work as well as a real ashtray. Scrub with water and a bit of soap until the ash is gone. If you were smoking out a window, it's likely you were dropping the ash out the window. This is a good idea in most cases, so long as you make sure not to let the ash hit the side of the building. If you do, the black trail from your window leading will be a telling sign you've been smoking, and the evidence is very difficult to clean up discreetly. The best way to get rid of a cigarette discreetly is to flush it down the toilet. Before you flush it, make sure you've covered the cigarette in some toilet paper; that way, there's less chance of parts of the cigarette floating back up. If you're really cautious and are worried you'll be caught whilst disposing, you might prefer to seal the cigarette remains in a Ziploc bag. That way, the next time you go out, you can throw it out in a public trashcan. Even when the cigarette is gone, you'll still have some things to do to make sure you won't get found out. Washing your hands thoroughly is a good start. Make sure to use a lot of soap. Washing with hot water alone won't be enough to rub off the smell. Just like your hands, your teeth will keep a lingering odour after you've smoked. You should make sure to brush your teeth for at least two minutes, with special attention given to the tongue and gums. If your breath is still bad, eating a spearmint candy or gum will fix any lingering smell issues. Showering is the most important part of post-smoke hygiene as smoke will linger on any surface it touches. Use a lot of shampoo and wash your body...

As you're heating up the grill, cover the grate loosely with aluminum foil. The intense heat will cause any debris to break down and dissolve, starting the cleaning process for you. This also minimizes sticking. At its highest heat, this should only take about 10-15 minutes.  "Blasting the heat" is another way of saying very, very hot. We're talking around 550°F (288°C) here. So, obviously, cover your grill while this process is going on. The heat will sear the fish initially, sealing it. If you throw it on a warm grill, it'll stick. If you're using a charcoal grill, those babies need to be gray, not black. If you used aluminum foil for the previous step, remove it now. Using a stiff-wired grill brush, scrape the grate clean. Fold a couple of sheets of paper towels into a small square or pad. Grasping the paper towels with tongs, dip the paper towels in oil (vegetable or olive) and rub over the bars of the grate. Continue to wipe the grate with the oiled paper towels until the grate is somewhat glossy. Plan on doing this about 5 times. It's a good idea to re-dip the paper towels in oil for each application.

As you've probably already seen in the grocery store, tampons come in a variety of types and sizes. Here's what's easiest for your first time:  Buy tampons with applicators. Tampons come in two basic types: with applicators, or a plastic tube that will help you push the tampon up into the vagina. Having the help of an applicator will make life easier when you're first learning, so choose a box that includes them. (In the U.S., O.B. is the primary brand that sells without applicators––most other brands have them.) Pick the right absorbency. Absorbency is a measure of how much absorbent cotton is in the tampon, ranging from light to heavy.  Most women use heavy absorbency tampons during the first day or two of their periods when bleeding is heaviest, and transition to lighter ones toward the end.  If you're concerned about pain, though, try buying light absorbency tampons. You'll have to change them more frequently, but they'll be slimmer and more comfortable. A good beginning tampon is Tampax Pearl Lite. You can also just get "junior" or "slim" tampons. Using a smaller sized tampon at first will help you get used to inserting them and they will also be easier to take out. You can buy heavier tampons later if you discover light absorbency doesn't work for you. If you have a heavy flow during the day, it may be handy to use a pantyliner or thin pad along with your tampon, in case the tampon overflows. Overflowing can happen even with heavy absorbency tampons, within 4 hours. It might seem weird to wash your hands before you go to the bathroom, but it's a smart move in this case. Tampon applicators are sterile, and washing your hands keeps any infection-causing fungus or bacteria off them. If you drop the tampon on the floor, throw it away. It's not worth saving a few cents or even a few dollars on a tampon if you have to go through an uncomfortable and painful infection.

As your dreads completely lock, you no longer need to hold them in place with rubber bands. Remove the rubber bands from the roots and the tips of the dreads after about 3 months.  When your dreads have locked, they will appear tighter and less puffy than they did at first. You'll have fewer loose hairs, and your hair will start to grow into the locks. If you put bands near the scalp, you may need to cut them out with scissors, as hair has likely tangled in that area. Oils and residues on the scalp may keep the hair from locking properly, preventing it from knotting up with the rest of the dread. Keep the new growth clean and dry so it naturally becomes part of the rest of the dread. Mix 8 ounces (230 g) apple cider vinegar with 16 ounces (450 g) water. After you rinse out shampoo in the shower, pour the rinse over your scalp and massage it in. Wait a few minutes before rinsing it out. This will protect the dreadlocks from breakage and keep them moisturized. You can buy silk night caps at beauty stores or online. Alternatively, put your dreads up in a bun and wrap a silk scarf around them. In the morning, when you wake up, remove the cap and spray the dreads with your moisturizing spray.

As your friend begins to feel better, keep your friend moving beyond depression by planning some fun outings. Choose activities that you both enjoy and make plans to do those things so that your friend will always have something to look forward to. Plan to go to the movies together, go on a weekend hike, or have coffee together. Just make sure that you do not pressure your friend into doing anything that he or she is not ready to do. Be patient and persistent. Laughter is known as the best medicine for a reason. Recent studies have shown that laughter helps to alleviate the symptoms of depression and make people who are depressed feel more connected to others. You probably know what makes your friend laugh better than anyone else does, so make sure that you use that knowledge laugh with them on a regular basis.  Make sure that you only use humor in appropriate situations. If your friend is opening up to you or crying, you might not want to tell a joke at that moment. Do not be discouraged or feel inadequate if your friend does not laugh. Sometimes it is very hard to feel anything at all, even good things, but this will hopefully get better with time. Just because your friend is feeling better does not mean that he or she is cured. Depression is episodic, which means that it often comes back. It is common for people who have depression to suffer from multiple bouts of depression over a lifetime. If your friend appears to be sinking back into depression, ask them what’s going on.  Say something like, “I noticed you seem very tired lately. When did you start feeling this way?” Offer your help the same way that you did before and continue to encourage your friend as you have been. Helping a friend who is battling depression is hard work. To make sure that you do not suffer an emotional crisis, you will need to take very good care of yourself as well. Make sure that you set aside at least 30 minutes each day that is just for you. Use that time to focus on your needs, pamper yourself, or just to do something that...

As your weight increases, chances are your blood pressure and related heart-stresses are increasing too. In some cases, just a loss of ten pounds can show you a decrease in your blood pressure levels. Consult your doctor on a healthy target weight.  It's very important that you know the target weight range for your height and work to maintain it. If you are overweight or obese, know how much you need to lose to reach your target weight range. Begin working toward that goal, even if you know it will take a long time to reach it. Each pound lost is a success that will help you live a healthier life! In addition to the number on the scale, your waistline measurement matters, too. Men with a waistline of 40 inches (101.6 cm) or more and women with a waist of 35 inches (88.9 cm) or more at an increased risk of hypertension. Asian men and women run on a scale of about 3 inches (7.6 cm) smaller (for both sexes). Apart from losing that excess weight, regular cardio exercise can significantly lower your blood pressure within weeks. That's about as close to instant gratification as you're gonna get.  Good examples of cardio activity include walking, running, dancing, or aerobics classes. Even making small efforts helps. Squeezing in a 15 minute walk before work is definitely better than nothing. You don't have to get your workout in all in one go! Having an active lifestyle is all about finding small ways to get moving. It doesn't necessarily mean going to the gym! To make sure that you're getting the full benefits of your workout, make sure that your heart rate ranges between 50-70% of your maximum heart rate. To get your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. For example, someone who is 32 would have a maximum heart rate of 188, which means that's the most beats their heart should make in one minute. A cardio range for a 32-year-old would be .50*188 to .70*188, or 94-132 beats per minute. In small amounts, red wine can lower your blood pressure slightly. However, drinking in moderate amounts can exacerbate...

As you’re feeding the squirrels, you’ll notice that you have some “repeat customers.” Wait until you see a squirrel that comes by often, and then go outside near the feeder to observe it and decide if you want to try to feed it. If the squirrel doesn’t come to your feeder regularly, they probably aren’t used to your scent and will be scared off as soon as you approach. If the squirrel is at ground level, try to get as low as possible and approach from an angle. Walk slowly, and when the squirrel stops what they’re doing, stop walking until it begins moving again. Eventually, the squirrel will look at you, and you can stop where you are. If the squirrel runs away, simply move away from the feeder and wait a day before approaching again. Once the squirrel looks at you, kneel down and hold out a mix of nuts, seeds, and a few pieces of fruit or vegetables if you’ve been feeding the squirrels any treats. Slowly extend your hand as much as possible so the squirrel can see and smell the food. At this point, the squirrel will already be eating, but it might be enticed by tastier treats that it doesn’t have in its usual food, like fruits and vegetables. Gently throw about ¼ of the food halfway between you and the squirrel, and wait for it to walk toward you to eat it. If it doesn’t, throw a little bit more to try to lure it closer to you so it knows you’re trying to feed it.  Be patient! It may take some time for the squirrel to trust getting closer to you. Don’t throw the food at the squirrel, but rather toss or roll it softly to avoid scaring it. As the squirrel approaches and eats the food, toss a bit more in the space between you and the squirrel. When it’s within arm’s length, slowly extend your hand and offer the food to it. Keep your hand flat and let it take its time while it eats. It may be helpful to save some of the sweeter and strong-smelling treats, like apples and grapes, until the squirrel is closer to you. It can take a few weeks or even month to get the squirrel to trust you completely. Don’t get...

Asbestos was widely used between 1920 and 1989, after which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began regulating materials containing asbestos. Asbestos can most commonly be found in buildings, but also in gas heaters, hair dryers, some clothing and automotive brakes.  Walls, flooring, pipes, textured paints, insulation, fireproofing materials, pipes, electric wiring, and even chalkboards constructed between 1920 and 1989 may contain asbestos. If the building was constructed between 1920 and 1989, chances are something in the building was constructed with materials containing asbestos. Few materials made today are constructed with asbestos. Items that do contain asbestos are now labeled as such. You can't tell whether an item contains asbestos just by looking at it. Instead, look for warning signs that construction materials are degrading. Asbestos isn't dangerous when it's still in good condition, but when it starts to break down and the fibers are released in the air, it becomes toxic. Look for signs of older materials that have become worn out or damaged.  Disintegrating pipes, insulation, walls, tiles, vinyl flooring, stovetop pads, and other older materials that have been present in the building since its construction are signs to look out for. Look for cracks, dusty areas and spots where the material seems to be in the process of breaking down and falling apart. If you don't see signs of construction materials degrading, you might not need to get the area tested, since asbestos is only dangerous when it becomes airborne. However, if you do see signs of degrading materials, or if you simply want to err on the side of safety, you should opt to get the area tested by a professional who has been certified to test for and handle asbestos safely.  Another scenario in which you might want to get the area tested is if you plan to do new construction work or replace old materials. Even if the materials are still in good shape, they'll get disturbed during the construction process and may release fibers...

Asexuality is a sexual orientation that means a person feels no sexual attraction to people of any gender. However, a person who identifies as asexual may still choose to have sex, may still be involved with a romantic partner or get married, can still love, and can still engage in normal relationships. Asexuality doesn’t describe what a person chooses to do, but rather how a person feels. Asexual people have emotional needs, may feel non-sexual attraction to others, and may even feel arousal; they just don’t feel sexual attraction.  Many asexual people still identify as lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, or pansexual (attracted to people of any gender or sexual orientation) as well. Asexuality is not the same as having a low libido, which can be caused by medical or health issues, nor is it the same as repressing one’s sexual desires. As with any sexual orientation, the label asexual is a generalization that doesn’t explain or represent everyone who identifies that way. All humans are unique and individual, and sexual orientation exists on a spectrum of needs, desires, interests, and attractions. Think of asexuality as an umbrella term that describes people who identify as asexual, gray-asexual, and demisexual.  Gray-asexual means that a person experiences sexual attraction, but either not very often or only to a minimal extent. This is also just called Gray-A/Gray-Ace. Demisexual describes a person who only feels sexual attraction to people with whom a close emotional bond has been formed. This is colloquially called "demi". Abstinence is the deliberate choice to refrain from sexual activity, while celibacy is the deliberate choice to refrain from sexual activity and marriage (or marriage-like relationships). These choices may be made for religious, philosophical, moral, or other reasons. Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction, but not necessarily a lack of sexual appetite (libido). This means asexual people can be:  Abstinent or celibate. Sexually active through masturbation. Sexually active with...

Aside from a fence in need of a gate, you'll need a few common hand-held carpentry tools to get started making your gate. It's likely you'll need:  Screwdriver Power drill Compound miter saw Carpenter's level Jigsaw, for cutting a decorative profile 3-inch stainless steel coated deck screws, for putting the box frame together 1 ¼ or 1 ⅝ stainless steel or coated deck screws, for planking Hinges The size of the gate should not be greater than 4' (1.22 m) in width. If it is wider, you must make and hang two gates, which will meet in the middle. Measure the entry at the top and bottom as they can easily be different. Build the gate to be square based on the narrower measure. Take diagonal measurements to check for squareness. You need to make sure that hanging the gate won't pull the posts to one side. The way you anchor the post will depend on the size of the fence, but in general, you need to make sure the post doesn't wiggle with weight. If it can be easily moved, the gate will sag. You should also check and see that the post is level, straight up and down. Ideally, a 4-foot (1.22 m) tall gate needs a 5" x 5" (12.7cm x 12.7 cm) redwood post. A 6-foot (1.83 m) tall gate requires a 6" x 6" (15.3 cm x 15.3 m) post. Post length should be at least 1/3rd longer than the planned height of gate. The hole that the post  will occupy should be at least 6” deeper than post will be buried. Post should be buried at least 1/3 but preferably 1/2 of its length and hole should be 3 x as wide as post. Concrete is best for filling hole but gravel or tightly packed earth may have to do. It is best to seal the end of post being buried using old motor oil, water proofing agent, bronzing (lightly charring post) or exterior paint. Giving buried end of post some form of water proofing protection will greatly extend life of post. Post should also be (proved) before using. Proving is allowing post to lay exposed to elements for at least 4 or more days to assure that it won't warp or twist (the longer the better, 2 weeks is best). This...

Aside from eating gassy foods and being lactose intolerant, there are many medical conditions that cause bloating and abdominal pain. As such, if you have frequent gas pains, make an appointment with your family physician and get a physical examination in order to rule out anything serious. Medical conditions that typically cause bloating and stomach pain include gastrointestinal infections (viral, bacterial and parasitic), stomach ulcers, intestinal blockage, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, food allergies, intestinal or stomach cancer, gallbladder disease and acid reflux.  If your gas pains are caused by an infection or food poisoning, your doctor might recommend short-term antibiotics. However, over-use of antibiotics kills friendly intestinal bacteria and can actually lead to more GI symptoms.  Certain medications often lead to bloating and flatulence such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, naproxen), laxatives, antifungal medicines and statins (for high cholesterol), so talk to your doctor about your prescriptions drugs.  Your doctor may want a stool sample and may check the blood for celiac disease and do a breath test for lactose intolerance.  An X-ray or colonoscopy may be necessary in some cases. Normal food digestion, especially of protein-rich meals, takes lots of stomach acid, which is concentrated hydrochloric (HCl) acid. A lack of stomach acid production (a common condition of aging) can lead to inadequate protein digestion, which can ferment in the intestines and produce gas. As such, ask your doctor about testing for stomach acid production and then consider taking supplemental HCl if you no longer produce enough naturally.  To help with protein digestion, eat your meat, poultry or fish course at the beginning of a meal instead of starting with bread and/or salad. The stomach tends to dump the hydrochloric acid in as soon as you start eating, but carbohydrates need very little (compared to protein) to digest. Betaine hydrochloride is a popular...

Aside from eating, there several signs that your kitten is depressed. These include a lack of energy and sleeping more than usual, loss of interest in her regular activities, becoming reclusive, or showing aggressive behavior. The most common reason that kittens become depressed is because they are not shown enough attention. To combat your kitten’s depression and get her to start eating again, play with her and show her love as much as you can. Hold her while you are working or watching a movie, play with her in the mornings and afternoons, and praise her with treats and affection. You can’t always be home to play with your kitten. Invest in some toys that will keep your kitten entertained while you are away. Climbing trees, toys, scratching posts, and food puzzles are all great ways to keep your kitten entertained while you are away. Consider getting your kitten a friend. If you can afford to do so, you may want to bring another kitten into your home so that each kitten will have someone else to play with; however, it's important to keep in mind that integrating a new kitten can get harder as your original kitten gets older. If you pay a lot of attention to your kitten and are constantly showing her love, she is probably not depressed because you don’t play with her. Instead, she is probably depressed because she is in pain in some way, either through sickness or because she got hurt. If you can’t seem to figure out what is ailing your kitten, take her to the vet. Kittens should be playful and alert. The most likely reason for a kitten to be depressed is immediately after homing. If you have owned the kitten for a while and she is quiet, then it's more likely there is a health problem.

Aside from lumber, there are a significant number of tools and materials you will need to build your log house. You will need specialized tools for handling wood, such as a chainsaw, chisel, planer, beam saw, drill and tenon cutter. You will need concrete, stones and mortar for the foundations, along with insulation materials and, of course, windows, doors and roof materials. A log cabin can be made from virtually any group of tall trees. However, a log cabin that lasts must be made from a narrow selection of wood types that have the characteristics needed to craft a sound, visually appealing structure that will retain its strength, value and appearance for decades and beyond. Common examples of trees types used in building log cabins include cypress, Douglas fir, white pine and yellow pine.  If you are gathering the lumber yourself, choose trees that are of the length and diameter that will suit your needs. Think in terms of cutting a matched set of logs with the same mid-point diameter. House logs are best cut in winter, when the sap is down and the logs can be skidded over the snow with minimum damage to the logs and the environment. Choose your logs selectively, not cutting too many trees in the same space, the trees left behind will benefit from having more light and space to grow in. Alternatively, you can purchase lumber from a log home producer. It is possible to buy lumber precut, which minimizes and often eliminates the work you will have to do to prepare the logs. Logs will need to be debarked and treated with a preservative treatment to prevent deterioration by insects, molds, mildew and fungus attacks. Consider whether you want to build your home with green logs (logs with a high moisture content) or dried logs.  If you choose to use dried logs you will need to stack your freshly cut lumber to season. If you are happy to use green logs you will need to account for the lumber "settling" over the first few years.

Aside from the geopolitical warning signs, your first warnings of an imminent nuclear attack will most likely be an alarm or warning signal; if not, it will be the blast itself. The bright light from a detonation of a nuclear weapon can be seen tens of miles away from ground zero. If within the vicinity of the blast (or ground zero), your chances of survival are virtually nonexistent unless you are in a shelter that provides a very (VERY) good blast protection. If you are a few miles out, you will have about 10-15 seconds until the heat wave hits you, and maybe 20-30 seconds until the shock wave does.  Under no circumstances should you look directly at the fireball. On a clear day, this can cause temporary blindness at very large distances.  However, the actual damage radius is highly variable depending on the size of the bomb, the altitude of the explosion, and even the weather conditions at the time of the blast.  If you can't find shelter, seek a depressed area nearby and lay face down, exposing as little skin as possible.  If there is no shelter of this kind, dig as fast as possible. Even around 8 kilometers (5 miles) you will suffer third degree thermal-burns; still at 32 kilometers (20 miles) the heat can burn the skin off your body. The wind itself will peak at around 960 kilometers per hour (600mph) and will level anything or anybody caught in the open. Failing the above options, get indoors, if, and only if, you can be sure that the building will not suffer significant blast and heat damage. This will, at least, provide some protection against radiation. Whether this will be a viable option depends on the construction of the building and how close you will be to the likely ground zero of a nuclear strike. Stay well away from any windows, preferably in a room without one; even if the building does not suffer substantial damage, a nuclear explosion will blow out windows at enormous distances. For an example, one (albeit abnormally large) nuclear test in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in Russia was known...

Ask a few gentle questions to get your friend talking and opening up about what's wrong. If you have some idea, you can be specific, but if you don't, just say something like, "Want to talk?" or "What's going on?"  Don't push. Sometimes, just sitting there and being quiet is enough for letting someone talk if they don't want to. If your friend doesn't want to talk about it, don't make them. Follow up in a few days if your friend doesn't want to talk. Make plans to get lunch and say, "How you been?" They might be more willing to talk at that point. . If your friend starts talking, be absolutely quiet and focus on them. Don't say anything. Don't interrupt to try to sympathize, or start telling your own story to try to relate to their miseries. Just sit quietly, look at them, and allow them to talk. This is what your friend needs the most during a time of grief.  Make eye contact. Look at your friend sympathetically. Put your phone away, turn the TV off, and ignore everything else in the room. Lock in and listen. Nod along to show that you're listening, and use non-verbal cues to be a good listener. Sigh during the sad parts, smile during the funny parts. Just listen. If your friend slows down, one way to keep them talking is to summarize what they've said and try to put it in your own words. Hearing it back can be a good part of the healing process for some people. If your friend is going through a break-up and talking about everything the ex did wrong, say, "Sounds like your ex wasn't really committed in the first place." Fill in the blanks for them to help the grieving process move forward.  You can also use this if you're unsure exactly what they mean. "Let me see if I'm getting this straight: you're angry with your sister because she borrowed your astronomy books without asking?" Avoid playing down their problem if it seems small to you. It may be more upsetting to them than you think. Don’t try pretending you know what they’re going through if you haven’t been in a similar position. Lots of people,...

Ask anyone who knows you well or anyone who you think might be good at naming things. This could be a friend, a relative, or a parent. If you don't like their answers, don't worry about it and try to think of one on your own. Consider using a username generator, if you don't know anyone who can help you. Run a web search for "username generator", and you may be able to create something suitable. The domain of an email address is the "@example.com" part.  Any standard email client should be fine, although some domains (like AOL or Hotmail) might come across as a bit dated. Some sites will allow you to choose a custom domain; if you take this route, avoid choosing a long domain, as people might not want to type out a long address. Domains like "@gmail.com" or "@yahoo.com" are short, popular, and easy to remember. . When you're ready, visit an email client, click whichever variation of "create an account" you find, and proceed to create your very own cool email address. Type the email address you decided on into the proper "username" or "login name" field.

Ask around to see if any friends have sliders. You can ask them about the advantages of having a pet turtle, as well as the challenges. If you don't know anyone with a red slider, go to the pet store and speak to employees that are familiar with the turtles. Better yet, spend a little time interacting with a red-eared slider at the store. Make sure you're aware of what goes into caring for a turtle. The average lifespan is around 20 - 30 years, with some sliders living even longer than this. Be sure your future lifestyle can adapt to include a long term turtle companion. If you're simply getting a turtle so your child can have a pet, realize that the turtle will be your pet for a long time. Just like  any living creature, red-eared sliders start out small but grow in size as they mature. A fully grown slider needs a tank with a usable floor space at least four times the area of the adult's hard shell, so take this into account when purchasing a young turtle. If you are getting more than one turtle, be sure you have enough tanks to separate the turtles as necessary. Male red-eared sliders tend to pester the females. This can be so extreme that the females stop eating. For this reason males and females are best kept separately. This includes such things as electricity to heat the aquarium, a thermostat to monitor water temperature, water pumps for aeration, a water filter designed to cope with turtle waste, and last but not least food. Even though the price of the turtle is low, they are not necessarily a cheap pet to keep. If you're concerned about the expense of a red-eared slider, it may help to create a rough estimate of the ongoing costs before you buy the turtle. This may help you decide if you're willing to invest in the pet. Be aware that the turtle may harbor salmonella and not be ill itself, while still posing a risk of infection to people. The only safe way of keeping a turtle is to assume he carries salmonella and to exercise scrupulous personal hygiene before and after handling. Hand washing is...

Ask if your teacher keeps past exams on file and if they’d be willing to share them with you. You can get a feel for the types of questions they ask and look for patterns in correct answers. Keep in mind that it’s always better to study the material instead of trying to outsmart your teacher. If you have a choice between studying your notes or figuring out how often “True” is the right answer, go with studying. Ask your teacher or find out whether your standardized test takes points off for blank answers. Some test makers discourage guessing by deducting points only for incorrect responses. If you don’t get points off for a blank response, it’s best not to guess.  The SAT used to have a guess penalty. It ignored blank responses and deducted points only for wrong answers. However, College Board got rid of the guess penalty in 2016. The PSAT, ACT, and AP tests don’t use a guess penalty either. For each of these tests, you get a point for a correct answer and zero points for a blank or incorrect answer.  Standardized tests are subject to change, so make sure you know if an updated test includes a guess penalty. Time management is often a key test taking factor. Instead of spending too much time trying to make a good guess on a tricky question, breeze through all the questions you can answer confidently. You wouldn’t want to run out of time and leave an easy question blank. You might find a clue to a tricky question elsewhere in a test. Other questions might jog your memory or give you a context clue that shines a spotlight on the right answer to a hard question. For example, suppose a multiple choice question asks if a weta is a plant, insect, fish, or mammal. A later question asks, “How many species of weta have entomologists identified?” If you know entomologists study insects, you’ll know the answer to the earlier question. Sometimes the right answer will trigger a feeling of deja vu. If you’re torn between a familiar answer and one with terms you’ve never seen before, choose the one that rings a bell.

Ask some people you know to take your questionnaire (they will not be included in any results stemming from this questionnaire), and be prepared to revise it if necessary. Plan to include 5-10 people in the pilot testing of your questionnaire. Get their feedback on your questionnaire by asking the following questions:  Was the questionnaire easy to understand? Were there any questions that confused you? Was the questionnaire easy to access? (Especially important if your questionnaire is online). Do you feel the questionnaire was worth your time? Were you comfortable answering the questions asked? Are there any improvements you would make to the questionnaire? You need to determine what is the best way to disseminate your questionnaire. There are several common ways to distribute questionnaires:  Use an online site, such as SurveyMonkey.com. This site allows you to write your own questionnaire with their survey builder, and provides additional options such as the option to buy a target audience and use their analytics to analyze your data.  Consider using the mail. If you mail your survey, always make sure you include a self-addressed stamped envelope so that the respondent can easily mail their responses back. Make sure that your questionnaire will fit inside a standard business envelope. Conduct face-to-face interviews. This can be a good way to ensure that you are reaching your target demographic and can reduce missing information in your questionnaires, as it is more difficult for a respondent to avoid answering a question when you ask it directly. Try using the telephone. While this can be a more time-effective way to collect your data, it can be difficult to get people to respond to telephone questionnaires. Ask your respondents to have the questionnaire completed and returned to you by a certain date to ensure that you have enough time to analyze the results.  Make your deadline reasonable. Giving respondents up to 2 weeks to answer should be more than sufficient. Anything longer and you risk your...

Ask someone today's date by saying or writing Quelle est la date aujourd’hui?  Aujourd'hui means "today." Optionally, you can use d'aujourd'hui ("of today") to use the word as a noun instead of an adverb. Both are widely used. To ask for the day of the week, say Quel jour sommes-nous aujourd’hui? or Quel jour est-on aujourd’hui? If someone asks you one of the above questions, be prepared to answer:  To answer with "Today is Monday, November 15th," write Aujourd'hui, c'est le lundi 15 novembre. To answer "Today is Sunday," say Aujourd'hui, c'est dimanche. or simply C'est dimanche. Use this word to write "in July" (en juillet), "in 1950" (en 1950), "in April 2011" (en avril 2011), and so forth. This phrase can go at the front or the end of a sentence. For example:   J’ai un rendez-vous chez le médecin en mars. = I have an appointment with the doctor in March.  J'ai vécu à Paris en 1990. = I lived in Paris in 1990.

Ask someone you trust to come with you when you get the shot. Having someone you know with you could provide you with a confidence boost. Ask them to hold your hand tightly during the procedure. Tell your doctor or nurse that you are scared. Talking about your fear can let that person know to treat you with extra care. He or she might even be able to talk you through it and offer you tips to help you relax and keep things in perspective.  If you would like to donate blood you might find it less scary if you tell the person drawing your blood that he or she has one chance to get it right. Doing this can help you feel more in control of the situation. Many people focus on getting the shot, but taking your mind off of the injection by, among other things, looking the other way, can help allay your fears. Strike up a conversation with someone else in the room, be it the doctor, the nurse, or the family member or friend who has accompanied you. Research has found that doctors who talked to trauma patients about something other than the trauma itself were able to significantly reduce the patient's anxiety levels.  Concentrate on something else in the room. Try rearranging the letters of a sign to make as many new words as you can.  Play a game on your phone, listen to some soft music, or read a book or magazine You might find that lying down or having your legs elevated while you receive and injections can help to ease your fear and symptoms. Lying with your head down and feet slightly elevated will lessen the chances of fainting. Even after the injection stay prone for a while, and don't try to jump up and run out. Take your time and listen to what the doctor or nurse is telling you. When you are lying down, place one hand on your stomach and concentrate on your breathing. Tensing up during the injection will make it hurt more later.  Relax your arms, shoulder, and jaw.  Look away, focus on your breathing, and take deep breaths. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. When the shot is about to be...

Ask the average person what a "smooth guy" is like and you'll probably get an answer along the lines of, "He's impeccably handsome, cool, confident, and well-dressed, with tons of masculine hobbies and interests." While the first four items in this list can certainly be a big help in the dating game, the last is hardly the end-all-be-all it's often made out to be. Don't feel a need to conceal or lie about the things you like to do. If you're geeky, be unabashedly geeky. If you like to do something really bizarre, like watch syrupy French romance films from the silent film era, don't hide this fact — it's super cool to like something unique! Being 100% honest about how you like to spend your time makes you seem genuine and confident and distinguishes you from everyone else around you. Clubs, singles bars, and other traditional dating "hot spots" are great for people who are in their element when the music's blaring loud and everyone around them is drunk. For everyone else, it may be much easier to meet people elsewhere. For starters, try meeting women at places and events that you naturally enjoy attending. For instance, if you like exercise and the outdoors, you might want to try running in a popular park. By using this approach, you're more likely to meet women that you have things in common with than you would be simply visiting a local club. We've all heard it before: "Be yourself and you'll go far." This age-old advice is a little cheesy, but when it comes to smooth operators, it's completely true. Smooth guys don't follow others when it comes to defining themselves — they do what they want to do and present themselves how they want to be presented and let others judge them as they see fit. Having your own unique personal style makes you hugely more interesting and memorable than trying to be someone else's idea of "cool", so being yourself isn't only easier than being trendy, it's also smarter if you're trying to win people over. One way to immediately and visibly differentiate yourself from other people...

Different areas have different policies on what they can accept, but here’s what generally will and will not be taken:  What you can recycle: Newspaper, magazines, maps, packaging (except frozen food), envelopes, cardboard. What you can’t recycle: Waxed paper, laminated paper, pet food bags, food-soaked paper, frozen food boxes. If your waste management company offers recycling, then take your sorted recyclables out to the curb in the recycle bins on trash day. If your local sanitation company doesn’t support recycling, or you have too much to fit into a bin, pack up your recyclables and take them to your local recycling center.

Ask your family doctor for a referral for a dermatologist that specializes in treating combination skin. You can also look up dermatologists in your area on the American Academy of Dermatology. Look at the background, expertise, and rates for each dermatologist and set up an initial consultation to see if the dermatologist is right for you.  Ask about different treatment options for acne: topical ointments, oral antibiotics, chemical peels, and light and laser treatments are a few examples. Ask your dermatologist for recommendations for cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliants, toners, and sunscreen. You can also ask friends or family for a recommendation. Check how long they have been seeing their dermatologist, how they feel the staff treats the patients at the office, and how accessible they felt information on procedures or treatments for combination skin issues was through the dermatologist. If over the counter products are not helping with your acne, your dermatologist may give you a prescription for a topical medication for your skin issues. There are three main types:  Retinoids: These drugs can come in the form of a lotion, a gel, or a cream. Your dermatologist will likely instruct you to apply the medication at night, three times a week, and then daily as your skin gets used to the drug. Retinoids are derived from vitamin A and plug your hair follicles, stopping the build up of oil, and acne. Antibiotics: Your dermatologist will likely prescribe a retinoid and an antibiotic (applied topically or taken orally) for the first several months of your treatment. You will apply the antibiotic in the morning and the retinoid in the evening. Antibiotics work by eliminating extra skin bacteria and reducing inflammation on your skin. These are often combined with benzoyl peroxide to help prevent the bacteria from becoming resistant to the antibiotics. Dapsone (Aczone): This treatment comes in the form of a gel and is often prescribed with a topical retinoid. If you use this treatment, you may experience side...

Ask your friend if she has a cell phone and what her number is. Text her first one day and see how she responds. If she texts back and asks questions, she is probably interested in developing the friendship. If she does not text back or gives you one word answers, she may not be interested.  Texting is also a good way to have conversations if you are shy or get nervous in person. You can get to know the person, so it is easier to talk in person. If you text her and she never responds, do not continue to text her. Wait to see if she will text you first. You should not always be the person that initiates conversations. It will take time to go from being friends to becoming best friends. You have to get to know the person really well and allow the person to get to know you. It may take many months before someone becomes your best friend.  Some friends are not meant to be your best friend. There is nothing wrong with staying regular friends. Over time, you should be able to tell if the person wants to be your best friends as well. They will put time and effort into your relationship. A best friend is someone that you can trust. You must also show this person that you are trustworthy. Do not talk about your friend to other people. If your friend tells you a secret, do not tell anyone else.   If you are ever worried about something your friend tells you, let your friend know that you are worried and suggest the two of you talk to an adult that you trust. If you and your friend get into an argument, work it out with your friend and do not tell other people. Doing new activities with someone else will create a bond between the two of you. It is even better if the activity is something that neither one of you has tried before. You can then create a special memory for just the two of you. If you do not see your friend on a regular basis, it will be hard to take your friendship to the next level. How often you spend time together will depend on both of your schedules.

Ask your partner what they think they are entitled to out of life and from you. If they answer in a way that demonstrates that they view relationships as a partnership, then this is a positive sign. If they emphasize what they “deserve” from other people, including you, then they may be a gold digger. Another warning sign is if they feel entitled to the best of everything, no matter the effort they've put in. For example, they might request jewelry almost immediately into the relationship. As you are browsing through dating profiles, watch out for those persons who list only pricey hobbies, interests, or preferences. It's perfectly fine to enjoy expensive wines, for example, but this could indicate a problem if they only enjoy it because of the price tag and not the quality.  For example, a gold digger profile might say, “I love shopping when somebody else pays for it.” A gold digger may be unaware how they come across, and therefore won't try to hide their greedy behavior. However, some are more sophisticated and stealthy. People usually hang out with like-minded individuals. If all of your partner's friends are gold diggers, then it's highly likely that they are as well. If their friends constantly talk about looking for rich men or women, then you can tell that's what they value. If you are concerned, you might ask your partner, “I've noticed that your friends talk about money a lot. Why do you think that is?”

Ask yourself if you will be chatting mainly with friends or mainly with strangers. There are different chat programs and services that are suited for different types of chatting. Are you going to be chatting one-on-one with friends and family? Are you more interested in chat rooms that anyone can join, or chatting directly with strangers? How anonymous do you want to stay? The most important thing to consider when you want to chat with people you know is what program they use. In order to chat with someone, you’ll need to use the same program or service that they do.  Chances are your friends and family use Facebook, which comes integrated with a chat program. You can use this chat to talk with other Facebook users on their computer on through mobile phones. You will need to be Facebook friends with the person you want to chat with.  Skype is one of the world’s most popular direct chat programs, and offers a little more anonymity than Facebook. You don’t have to use your real name to sign up for a Skype account. Skype has recently absorbed MSN, another popular chatting app, making MSN users Skype users. There are a variety of direct chat apps available for smartphones.

Ask yourself some questions about what you want out of life, as well as out of your business. What does achieving your goals in life look like? What is important to you? What are you willing to sacrifice? Consider what you need to make these priorities and goals happen. Is it a certain amount of money? A certain amount of free time to spend with friends and family? Becoming your own boss is a goal for many people, but some people are better suited to this lifestyle than others. Knowing how you are likely to react to events will help you achieve your goals.  Are you comfortable with a lot of responsibility? Entrepreneurs often have no backup and are responsible for the success or failure of their business. Do you enjoy interacting with people? Almost all entrepreneurs have to do a lot of customer service, particularly at first. If you aren’t good with people, you may have difficulty getting your business off the ground. Are you able to accept uncertainty and even failure? Even the most successful entrepreneurs -- for example, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Richard Branson -- have had businesses fail on them, often several times, before they found a formula that worked.  Do you thrive on problem-solving and creative solutions? Entrepreneurs at all levels face many problems that they need to find creative solutions for. A high tolerance for frustration and the ability to think through problems will serve you well as an entrepreneur.  Meet other entrepreneurs to assess whether being one yourself is a good fit. Be honest with yourself as you consider your strengths and weaknesses. When you talk to potential investors or sell to clients, you will need to have a very clear idea of what your strengths are so you can communicate them to others. Energy and determination will get you through many of the hurdles you will face as a beginning entrepreneur. Be idealistic enough to believe in yourself, but pragmatic enough to examine the realities of your situation.

Ask yourself what data you require and how you will use it. This will help you come up with useful questions, as well as the order in which you will ask them. Begin with a broad span of questions, then narrow them down until each one relates to your goals in some way. Keep questions and answers simple, using as few words as possible. You may want to rely on open-ended questions, closed-ended questions, or a mix of the two. Closed-ended questions have a specific range of options respondents can choose from.  These questions may be yes-or-no questions, true-or-false questions, or questions that ask the respondent to agree or disagree with a statement. Closed-ended questions may look like open-ended questions, but will have only a few options respondents can use to answer. Closed-ended questions might look like these:  "Have you shopped here before?" "If so, how often do you shop here?" (This question would have a few explicit answers from which respondents could choose--"once a week" to "once a month," for instance) "How satisfied were you with your experience today?" (Likewise, this question would have limited responses--"very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied") "Would you recommend this store to a friend?" Open-ended questions solicit answers that you may not anticipate, and do not have a specific range of answers to choose from. Open-ended questions are a chance for respondents to communicate their specific experience or expectations. Such questions might look like these:  "How will you use your purchase?" "Where else do you normally shop?" "Who referred you to this store?" Open-ended questions are good for clarifying a previous answer--"Why do you feel this way?" Avoid leading questions especially; Leading questions indicate that the asker is looking for a certain answer and will limit what answers your responders are comfortable supplying. Either tailor possible answers or change the wording of your question so as to avoid leading your respondents to answer in a particular way.  Questions should be worded...

Ask yourself what you would like the report to accomplish. Based on the desired objective, choose a type of report from the list above.  Regardless of the answer, you need to make your objective concise. If it is muddled, then your report will only confuse your audience, which risks damaging the report's credibility. For instance, you may want to accomplish receiving a larger advertising budget for your department. Your report should focus on the current advertising budget and how you might effectively use a larger budget. Your audience may include an outside party (someone who doesn’t work within your company) or someone within your firm. Consider the knowledge or familiarity the audience already has with the intended topic. Also, think about how the audience will use the information in the report.  Remember that regardless of your audience, no bottom line speaks louder than money to a company or client. For instance, say you want to implement a job-share program for your division. You decide your target audience is the company’s HR director, CEO and COO. Consider how much they likely know about job-share programs already. The answer will set the tone for the report. If your company has never considered a job-share program, then the report will be both informational and strategic. If the company has considered a job-share program, then the report will be less informational and more persuasive. The hardest part of writing a business report isn't in the writing. It’s forming a conclusion and collecting the data necessary to support that conclusion. This involves a variety of skills, including data collection and market analysis. What do you — and, in the end, management — need to know to make an informed decision about the topic? It is important that your data is well-researched; otherwise, you risk losing credibility. Data gathering itself is going to depend on the type of report that you write. Ensure that the data parameters you choose are concise and relevant to the point of the report.  Data may come...

Ask yourself why you are attracted to girl. For example, she might sense that your interest is purely physical or superficial, and avoid you. If this is the only type of attention she receives from guys, then she might be jaded or feel under-appreciated. Before approaching her, step back and determine what you look for in a relationship. Next, ask yourself if she is good relationship material based on these qualities:  Integrity: is she honest with both herself and others, trustworthy, and dependable. Can you be upfront with each other about your thoughts and fears. Emotional maturity and self-esteem: no one is perfect, but a willingness to reflect on and learn from the past (and demonstrate what you've learned) is a key feature of emotionally mature people. Emotionally immature girls are those that are dependent on others for their self-esteem and well-being, and let their emotions control their actions.  Supportive and committed to personal growth: she has her own interests and actively pursues them, has a general positive attitude about life (even when faced with difficult circumstances), and she maintains good relationships with family and friends and encourages those around her. However, someone that constantly puts their own interests above others, and are overly competitive or judgmental do not make good partners. One of the ways to get a girl to notice you is to make yourself more attractive in how you look and act. By making small changes, you can not only make yourself more attractive to women, but also improve your self-confidence. It is often the little things that will make you stand out, such as practicing good hygiene and doing something nice for others (even when she isn't around).  Clean-up your appearance: this shows you have self-respect and take care of yourself. Make sure you wear clean and unwrinkled clothing, shower everyday, keep your hair combed and groomed, and your beard shaved or trimmed short.  Practice good oral hygiene, brushing your teeth twice a day and avoiding foods that...

Ask yourself why you feel less confident about your beauty. In some cases, this may seem like a simple question because there is an obvious connection to your physical appearance. For example, someone may have made a comment to you directly about a specific feature. But in other cases, the connection may be more subtle. Media portrayals often narrowly define beauty, which can make people feel inferior.). There may even be an indirect connection to your decreased confidence. For example, uncertainty about the future may create anxiety. Because you cannot easily control or alleviate this anxiety, you focus more on other, smaller sources of anxiety that you can control, such as your looks. There are a number of different cognitive behavioral techniques to improve your “beauty self-esteem.” These techniques focus on evaluating the source of your self-esteem, questioning your negative opinion of your looks, and thinking about ways to think about your looks more positively. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Focus on sitting or standing up straight while looking in the mirror for maximum confidence while doing this exercise. Think about your favorite physical attributes and write them on a list. Write a sentence about each of these qualities, such as: “I have long curly hair. It looks so full and bouncy, especially just after I leave the hair salon.” This exercise also requires you to appreciate the qualities that are part of your personality or character. Write a sentence about each of these traits. For example, you might write, “I help others. I volunteer every week for a local charity and always call my friends back right away when they need to talk.” Combine your lists of personality traits and physical features. Rank the qualities, putting the one you think is your best or most important. This will help you determine which qualities are most important to you. Most people tend to rank personality features above beauty features. This emphasizes that that our self-esteem is influenced more about how we...

Asking for help can be awkward. However, it is one of the ways you can increase accountability. If you let someone know that you are trying to make specific changes in your life, it will increase the likelihood of your success. It is important for you to let others know what you are trying to achieve. The process of checking in with someone focuses your mind on making progress. There is an opportunity to live up to an expectation, which can result in you feeling positive about yourself and your efforts. Consider asking the person to hold you to a check-in schedule. For example, one time per week you will report your progress to the person. It's up to you to tell them what you need from them in terms of feedback. There is a lot of time to fill in a day. You may be struggling with this notion. If you are feeling depressed, consider finding a new hobby or project to complete. Hobbies have been shown to create improved physical and mental health.  For example, everyone has a list of things they would like to accomplish, but don't have the time. Well, now you do have the time. Sit down and make a new list. Try a new hobby, such as photography, painting, or cooking. Discover a new love of literature. Read all the books you’ve been meaning to read, but haven’t. One way of coping with emotional pain is to volunteer your time, resources or expertise to a worthy cause or individual. Volunteering will help you develop new skills, begin or strengthen your connection with your community, offer you new experiences and the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people. It can also provide a boost to your self-esteem, personal development, and align your actions with your values.  You will feel a "giver's high."  Reach out to organizations in your local area to become a part of a worthwhile project. This might include visiting the elderly, helping at an animal shelter, or running fundraisers for a local theatre production company. The opportunities are out there.

Asking her friends is she likes you is a less bold way of basically telling her that you're interested in her yourself. Still, if you're feeling shy but really want to know how she feels without asking her directly, then just ask her friends how she feels about you. They probably won't tell you how she feels, but they'll make it obvious that she likes you by acting excited and saying that you should talk to her. They'll also tell her that you like her right away, so be careful. Her friends will, however, let you know if the girl doesn't like you and this will spare your feelings if she doesn't. If you're feeling brave and really want to date this girl, then just find a time when you're alone together, like by your lockers after school, and ask her how she really feels about you. You can even admit that you like her first (if you do) and wait for her to respond. Don't put too much pressure on her -- just casually say that you've noticed that she might like you and that you want to know how she feels. You can even complement her a bit to put her at ease. If she admits that she likes you and you like her too, you don't have to jump up and down for joy or you'll look uncool. Instead, just show her that you're excited that you both like each other and ask her if she wants to hang out some time. If she doesn't like you, don't be a jerk about it. Just say, "Cool, it's no big deal," and act cool and calm as you say goodbye. This will show her that you're comfortable with yourself and who knows -- maybe she'll change her mind about you in the future. Whatever happens, remember that you're in middle school. Relationships in middle school are fun, but they're usually short and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Just try to have fun and if it doesn't work out with this girl, someone else will definitely fall for you.

Asparagus, spinach and scallions are best in the spring. Many vegetables, like tomatoes, squash and Swiss chard are good in the summer. Root vegetables like acorn or butternut squash bring warmth to any autumn table. And if you live in a warm climate, you can explore options of cultivating your own vegetable gardens to get the most selection based on your tastes. Burying vegetables in butter, preparing them with animal fat or dousing them in oil adds many extra calories without adding nutritional value. Try steaming or roasting with a little bit of olive oil for nutritious and delicious preparations. Even though too much fat is not beneficial, adding some plant-based fats like olive or walnut oil to your deep greens (like leafy greens, broccoli and Brussels sprouts) actually helps your body absorb more of their nutrients. Freezing vegetables in season and storing them for future use is an easy way to get the flavor of the harvest all year round. For quick dishes, choose frozen, pre-chopped organic vegetables from your grocery store.

Assertiveness is the key to standing up for yourself. It isn't just a cliché, it's a bona fide means for improving your chances of getting what you want and for being heard properly.  Being assertive enables you to express your wants, needs, and preferences in a way that shows you're prepared to stand up for yourself while still respecting the other person. It involves being open and honest about your thoughts and feelings while trying to work towards a mutually satisfying solution. When asserting your feelings and opinions, it's recommended that you use "I" statements, rather than "you" statements, as this is less accusatory and will prevent the other person from going on the defensive. For example, instead of saying "you never ask for my opinion", say something like "I feel ignored when you make decisions without me".   Assertiveness is, for the main part, a learned skill, so don't feel bad if it doesn't come naturally. There are many excellent books and courses on assertiveness training available. You might like to start by reading the classic When I Say No, I Feel Guilty, by Manuel J Smith, and Your perfect right: A Guide to Assertive Living, by Robert E. Alberti. See also How to be assertive and Communicate in an Assertive Manner. Learning how to say no is one of the hardest but most important ways of standing up for yourself. If you tend to be a "yes" person who never wants to let anyone down, you risk becoming a door-mat who everyone walks all over and takes advantage of.  For example, if your boss keeps asking you to work late when your co-worker has no problem skipping out the door at 6 pm, it can be very difficult to say no. But if this extra workload is putting your personal life and relationships under pressure, you need to put your foot down. Don't put someone else's needs above your own -- learn to say no when necessary. Learning to say no will help you to stand up for yourself with friends as well as people who intimidate you. Think about that friend who keeps borrowing money but never pays it...

Assess the weight of children and teens by using a BMI Calculator specifically designed for younger age groups. The Children's BMI uses height and weight measurements, gender, date of birth and date of measurements to perform weight assessment calculations.  Children measuring at the 5th percentile or lower are deemed underweight.  Children measuring between the 5th and 84th percentile are considered at a healthy weight  Children measuring between the 85th and 94th percentile are deemed overweight.  Children measuring equal to or greater than the 95th percentile are considered obese. These calculators do not take into account bone density, muscle mass, or fat proportion. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. On the flip side, it may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.

Associate different parts of the essay with images. You might imagine the essay coming to life as you recite it. When you need to recite the essay, recall the images to help you remember the words. For example, the first part of the essay might be about tiger conservation, so you might visualize tigers as you go through this part. The second part may be about their habitat, so you might think about a jungle. Imagine a room or building that represents your essay. For every main point, place a piece of furniture inside. Associate each piece of furniture with a point you have to remember.  For example, if the main parts of the essay are about family, cooperation, and communication, you might imagine a photograph (family), a table (cooperation), and a telephone (communication). When you need to recall the essay, imagine yourself walking from the photograph to the table and then to the telephone in the proper order. Gestures can help you memorize parts of the essay by associating words with movements. You might tap out a certain pattern when you start a paragraph, or gesture outwards to emphasize a particular word. Pacing can help improve recall. Some people even find doing a simple dance to be useful as they try to memorize the essay. As you memorize the speech, give yourself a prompt or cue that can remind you which part goes where.  Practice hand gestures with your speech. Put certain gestures at specific spots in the essay. If you are allowed to use flashcards, you might write the basic outline on a series of cards. Glance down at these as you go along. You might ask a friend in the audience to give a signal if you are forgetting a line.

Assume that your friend or partner is not ignoring you to be malicious.  It’s likely your partner is ignoring you simply to avoid deepening and extending a conflict.  They probably want to get some breathing space and let you both cool down for a bit after a conflict.  When you understand your partner’s different understanding of the silent treatment, you will be in a better position to make up with them later and avoid deepening the conflict. When you’re ignored by someone you care about, it hurts.  You might feel frustrated, angry, and sad that you’re being ignored.  If you feel this way, don’t pretend that you don’t.  Accepting your feelings is the first step toward expressing yourself and letting the other party know they’re being unkind. Structured conversations are those which are schedules at a particular time for a particular purpose, and unfold with a particular set of rules which forbid things like yelling and name-calling.  In a structured conversation, both parties are prepared to confront the issue in front of them and have rehearsed their basic talking points.  Suggesting structured conversations can be useful if someone is ignoring you because of a longstanding problem or set of problems which prevents you from forging a deeper emotional connection. Try a different style of communication for yourself.  If you’re a “hot” conflict communicator -- constantly yelling, getting angry, and flaring up emotionally -- try to exercise more control in the heat of the moment.  If you’re a “cool” conflict communicator -- you ignore the other person, leave to give yourself space when a conflict occurs, and try to explain yourself and your point of view only after taking a few minutes to consider your response -- put more immediacy and emotion into your conflict resolution behavior (but don’t get carried away yelling and cursing). If you realize in the course of the person’s explanation that you’ve hurt their feelings, you should explain that you didn’t mean to and that you’re sorry.  But be firm when...

Assuming you have more than a few animals, you'll need to mark them to tell them apart. This will help you track individual milk production and illness. Tagging is a common method. Always buy disease-free animals, and keep them isolated from other animals during transportation to your farm. Quarantining new arrivals (and animals that fall sick) is recommended, especially if they do not have trustworthy, recent health records. Your local government or veterinarian can give you specific advice about diseases in your area.  Equipment shared between farms can spread disease. Try to confirm where the equipment has been used and whether the animals there were healthy.  Disease-carrying ticks are a major problem for livestock. Inspect animals for ticks regularly, and keep the shed area clear of brush. Feeding cattle and other livestock can be a complicated business. There are many different kinds of fodder and forage plants, which provide different amounts of energy, protein, roughage, and various nutrients. A veterinarian or experienced farmer can help you work with the food you have available.  Mineral licks and/or mineral supplements are an important part of the animal's diet. Moldy feed or feed stored in the same area as pesticides and other contaminants can transfer dangerous toxins to the milk.  Dairy animals have high nutrition requirements compared to animals raised for meat. Improper nutrition can lead to lower milk production or lower quality milk. Milk-producing animals typically need milking two or three times a day. Move the animal to a clean location. Wash and dry your hands and the udder before milking. If you've never milked an animal before, learn how to milk a cow or goat. You will need to breed your female animals regularly to keep them lactating as often as possible. The cycle of breeding, calving, and weaning calves has implications for the animal's nutrition needs, health, and of course milk production. Our guide on cows gives you the basics, but this will vary based on species and age. Unlike...

Assuming your milk was fresh when you froze it, its "freshness" should be almost the same after thawing it. Thus, most thawed milk is good for drinking and using in cooking projects for about a week after thawing. Though its appearance and consistency may be slightly different, it should still be safe to consume. Note that if your milk wasn't fresh when you froze it, it won't be fresh thawed, either. In other words, thawed milk that was only a day or two from spoiling when you froze it will be in roughly the same state when it's thawed. It's worth noting that  you don't have to shake the milk by hand to redistribute the fat. Using a mechanical solution like a blender or food processor, for instance, allows you to quickly and easily agitate the milk for a smoother, more even texture. This can also help you break up any ice chunks remaining in your milk, which can be a surprise if they aren't discovered before you start drinking. Thawed milk can sometimes have a different "feel" than ordinary milk — it's sometimes described as being slightly chunky and watery by comparison. Though thawed milk is perfectly safe to drink, these qualities can make it difficult for some to drink. On the other hand, thawed milk is usually an excellent substitute for fresh milk in cooking and baking projects where its altered texture is difficult or impossible to detect.

At around 4 months, kitten behavior begins changing as a result of changing hormones. Kittens of this age will meow loudly at night or try to escape the house to get outdoors.  These can be signs that the kitten is beginning to go through puberty. At 4-6 months, a kitten cat is essentially going through its teenage years. A cat of this age will begin to lose its plumpness (baby fat) and develop a sleeker body, even as it gains weight.  Male kittens over 4 months may begin scent marking (spraying urine) to attract females to mate. Female kittens may begin going into heat between 4 and 6 months. This also involves scent marking, along with loud yowling and writhing about. Kittens 7 months or older are considered juveniles, and they are both larger in size and sexually mature.  Be aware that a juvenile female cat can become pregnant if she is not fixed. Along with sexual maturity comes increased aggression.  Kittens begin to challenge other cats for dominance starting at around 6 months. Juvenile kittens tend to bite more often than younger kittens or grown cats. Cat bites tend to occur a lot from cats in the juvenile age group, so take care when handling cats from this age group.

At first, it can help to blot your kitty dry with a towel before you wrap him in a towel. This will help get off some of the dampness and will keep him from feeling like you're trapping him in a wet enclosure. Just gently blotting his face, body, and fur can make your kitty feel a bit more relaxed before you place him in a towel.  Some people even use hair dryers on the lowest setting to  help dry their kittens. You have to do what works best for your cat. Some are fascinated by the dryer and some are are terrified of it. If your kitty is okay with the hairdryer, then place it on the lowest heat setting and gently dry his fur just as you would with your hair, only taking a bit more care not to scare your kitty or harm him. Once you manage this, you should quickly dry the cat to get most of the dampness off. Be aware that small animals can lose a great deal of body temperature through damp fur so dry the kitten as much as possible, before providing a heat source for him/her to dry in front of. The towel may make the kitty feel a little claustrophobic and he may panic a little, but it's important to dry him off as much as you can. Your kitty will likely also shake the water off himself, like a dog. If you have a long-haired kitty, then you should brush his fur after the bath to get rid of any tangles that maybe have been caused by the bath. Afterwards, offer treats, cuddles, hugs, and kisses. Your poor baby has just experienced one of the worst things it can. Most cats hate water! (However, two exceptions are the Turkish Van, and Bengal breeds.) Even if your kitty will get used to the baths, the initial experience is likely to have been a bit upsetting, and you should acknowledge that. Also, if you give your kitty treats after the bath, then he will associate baths with good things instead of bad, and he'll be more likely to want a bath in the future.
