Sometimes people just don't feel like talking, could be busy, or something might have happened in their personal life. Try and not panic and don’t get angry with the person. Be understanding and excuse yourself politely from the conversation, which can save you and your partner from continued awkward exchanges. Do your best to not show your emotions to the other person. There are many different reasons that you might need to end a conversation like using the restroom or taking a phone call. If you notice your conversation partner isn’t engaging, draw upon an “easy out” to leave the chat while leaving things on a positive note. You could say that:  You would like to get another refreshment at the bar You need to take or make an important call You need to use the restroom You’re feeling slightly ill and need some fresh air. If something naturally interrupts your conversation, take it as a way to extract yourself. This helps you leave the conversation on a positive note.  Look for something in the room that makes you “realize” something. For example, say “wow, I didn’t realize it got so late. I need to get home for my daughter’s bedtime,” after looking towards a clock or at your watch. See if there is someone else who can join the conversation to make your exit.  Wait for a lull in the conversation and use this as a way to transition out of the conversation. For example, you can say “I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you, but I need to get going because I have an early meeting.” You can easily extract yourself from an unproductive conversation by framing your exit to the other person’s benefit. Use strategic statements such as “I don’t want to monopolize your time” to finish the chat.  Say things like “I’m sure you’d like to talk to other people, so I’m going to scamper off.”  Remember to keep your tone and body language as genuine as possible.  Avoid using this tactic too often because it can make you appear disingenuous. Asking for information about how to contact the person naturally indicates that the...

Sometimes people who are vegan or lactose intolerant may crave cheese sauce. While nothing really replicates the cheesy goodness of the perfect cheese sauce, a vegan cheese-style sauce may help you kick the craving. The key to making good vegan cheese sauce is using starchy vegetables like zucchini and potatoes to give the sauce a creamy texture and keep it from separating.  You will need access to a high powered blender, food processor, or Vitamix to create a creamy texture for this sauce. Nutritional yeast can be found in health food stores in the form of flakes or powder. It has a strong, savory flavor that is nutty and tangy. The deactivated yeast is a popular vegan substitute for cheese in recipes.  If you are allergic to soy sauce, you can substitute it for vegan worcestershire sauce, sold at most health food and speciality food stores. It will give the sauce a similar flavor, but you will need to add more salt to make up for the saltiness that soy sauce provides. Preheat your oven to 415 °F (213 °C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Peel all the green skin off the zucchini with a vegetable peeler. Then, slice it into ¼ inch slices and place the slices on the sheet pan.  Season the slices with a dash of salt and pepper. Bake the zucchini for 15 minutes until they appear tender and soft to the touch. Peeling the zucchini will prevent the sauce from coming out a strange green-yellow color. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place the potatoes on another sheet pan and into the oven with the zucchini for about 10 minutes, until they appear soft.  You can also cook the potatoes fast in the microwave for about 5 minutes, covered, until they are very soft to the touch. Do not boil the potatoes, as they will get water-logged and make your cheese sauce runny. Then, use a dry measuring cup to measure out 1 cup of mashed potatoes. It’s important to measure the mashed potatoes for accurate results and a solid vegan cheese sauce. Add the 1 cup of mashed potatoes to your high speed blender, food...

Sometimes people, including your parents and siblings, won’t always ask for your help. Instead, you can keep an eye out to see if they might need it. For example, if your dad comes home with groceries, ask if you can help carry them into the house. Or, if your mom is cooking, ask if she needs you to do anything else that will help get dinner ready. Your family may tell you they don’t need your help, and that’s okay. The important thing is that you thought to ask, which they will appreciate. Make sure you have all the plates, cups, and utensils you will need to eat your meal. You can also look up proper ways to  set the table or  fold napkins for something nicer and more creative to look at. After meals are over, you can also be helpful by clearing the table. Get all the dishes and silverware into the sink or dishwasher for cleaning. . After meals, you need to clean off dishes and make sure they get put away. Nobody likes cleaning the dishes, so you can really help your parents out after they’ve put in a lot of work to make meals.  Start by scraping off all food scraps, which will make the dishes easier to clean. Remember to use warm water and soap to clean off the whole dish. Clean all the dishes, silverware, cups, anything that you used to eat or make food with. Remember to clean food scraps out of the sink drain when you are finished. Throw them away so they don’t clog the drain. Empty the dishwasher. If your house has a dishwasher, unload it after it finishes. Just give it a few minutes to cool down first, as dishes can be hot. You don’t want to accidentally burn yourself. Be careful when handling sharp objects like knives and other utensils. If you aren’t careful, you can cut yourself, so always pick things up by the handle, and watch where you are reaching. Dirt, dust, crumbs, and other things gather on the floor and can attract bugs. Help by sweeping up crumbs into a dustpan and throwing them away. This is especially important after meals, both where you ate, but also where you or your parents made the...

Sometimes the best way to diagnose the types of worm is to document the risk factors for the dog.  Make notes of the dog's environment, climate, and habits.  Be sure to also document the severity and duration of any symptoms of illness and provide the information to your veterinarian if you suspect an infection. If worms or worm parts are visible in the dog's feces or vomit, you may be able to identify the type of worms.  While many worms look similar, each has some distinguishing characteristics that may allow you to pinpoint the worm variety.   Roundworms look a lot like cooked spaghetti noodles. They average 8 - 10cm long, but can reach 18cm in length. They have a round profile and smooth bodies. Tapeworms are distinctive with flattened bodies made up of segments. The length varies with the species but averages from 50 centimeter (19.7 in) to 250cm long.  If you see tapeworms in the feces or vomit, it is likely to be individual segments, not the entire tapeworm. Hookworms and whipworms are much smaller than roundworms or tapeworms.  They are usually between 0.5- 2 cm long and extremely thin, like a strand of thread or hair. Their small size tends to make them appear translucent, and they can be more difficult to see without close examination. Lungworm and heartworms infest blood vessels and either the heart or lungs. This can cause symptoms such as coughing, heavy or rapid breathing, lack of energy, or even collapse and death.   Lungworm and heartworm can interfere with blood clotting and so some dogs show the alarming symptom of uncontrolled bleeding after a minor injury. Any of these signs should prompt an immediate visit to your vet. Though treatments can be costly, prompt treatment is more likely to result in a favorable outcome. A sure sign of tapeworms is egg packets stuck to the dog's fur near his anus. This happens when the mature tapeworms release eggs into the bowel lumen, after which the eggs wriggle out of the dog's anus, which can also cause itchiness around the anal ring.   These egg packets...

Sometimes the best way to get over feeling left out during a conversation or at an event, it to make others feel welcomed and included. Doing this helps to take the focus off of how uncomfortable or hurt you feel due to the situation, and gives you power to actively change your experience at the event. You can make others feel included by doing the following:  Smile and greet others Start conversations Ask questions about people and try to get to know them Be a good listener Be kind and thoughtful Show genuine interest in what others have to say If you think that part of being left out may be due to your own situation (for example, a heavy study schedule, long work hours, home responsibilities, hobby or sports commitments, etc.), then help your friends by making suggestions that fit in with your schedule. Your attempt to make plans and meet them halfway will be appreciated.  If your busy schedule has interfered with doing things with your friends, ask a friend to run errands with you or join you in something you do every day, such as going to the gym.  Do your best to make plans with your friends, but know when to stop asking. If your friends refuse your suggestions several times, then they might not want to continue the friendship. Don’t keep asking if your friends always say no or often back out at the last minute. In the case where you keep getting left out, you may have to accept that you can't count on these people as friends and have to make some new ones. Make a decision to find people who respect and care about you. While this may be hard, it's a much easier choice than sticking around with people who keep bringing you down and treating you like a doormat. You deserve much better than that. Consider volunteering, joining a club in your area for people who share your interests, and attending local events that interest you. Surrounding yourself with people who share your interests and passions will ensure that the people you meet will have some things in common with you, which can lead to new friendships.

Sometimes the problem isn't us -- it's the people around us. In the nicest way possible, of course. Part of the issue could be that you just don't jive with the people around you. Maybe an older (or younger) age group, different demographic, etc., would be more up your alley. These people could bring out a side of you that is more talkative and, quite frankly, enjoys people more. Think about it. Test this theory out by joining a club. Anything that is a small class where you could get to know a group of like-minded people could show you that it's not everyone who makes you clam up -- it is just certain types of people. Some people inhibit us and others don't -- find the ones that draw you out. Maybe you're a great listener but not a great talker. Maybe you read a lot instead of partying. Newsflash! Your introverted strengths can be extroverted strengths. The next time an acquaintance is making it quite clear they're having a bad day, go up to them and ask them what's up. Your listening skills will take over. Start a conversation about the book you're reading -- if you didn't know it, extroverts read, too! Odds are if you're truly introverted, you're reflecting a lot, getting in your head, observing and noticing things. If that's the case, you're set: you have an attention to detail that is hard to cultivate organically. Use that. Notice something small and comment on it. People might be taken aback for a split second before a smile erupts on their face that someone finally noticed something about them. Everyone loves that feeling. Once you're in a social situation (which is really half the battle), get to talking. Anything. Anything at all. You obviously have opinions! And if you're uncomfortable stating how you feel, ask questions. Everyone loves it when people seem interested in them. Asking questions is an easy way out. If this is an issue, start talking when you're by yourself. Start talking more around your family and best friends. Sometimes it's hard just getting used to the sound of our own voices....

Sometimes the spirit needs a minute to warm up. You may not get answers right away. Don't give up.  The myths about 'moving the planchette to warm it up' mean nothing. The spirit is the one providing the answers, not the planchette, so slow answers will be nothing to to with the planchette. Some spirits can move the planchette faster than others. Sometimes the planchette moves very quickly and sometimes it moves very slowly. If getting a message out of your planchette is like waiting for dial-up, don't get angry. Wait it out or close the board and resume a little later. If you are speaking to a highly communicative spirit, talk to it! Be friendly. This will encourage him/her to cooperate with you. You may not get the answers you want. This is not the spirit or the board's fault. Getting angry or violent will just ruin the vibe of the board and the room. It's best not to bombard your spirit with questions on the content and length of your next history exam. Start simple, like a normal conversation. Your first questions should have easy, short answers.  How many spirits are in the room? Are you a good spirit? What is your name? The last thing you want to do is stay up all night contemplating your imminent death. If you don't want to know the answer to a question, don't ask it. But if you do choose to ask about your future, take note that it will be jokingly. Just like us mortals, spirits can't see the future. They're messing with you if they tell you your sister is going to die in a week.  Don't ask silly or stupid questions. "What did Billy tell his sister about me?" is not something your spirit may want to waste time on. Not to mention how long it would take to spell the answer out! Don't ask for physical signs. That's just asking for trouble. What's more, those you're communicating with may not be able to follow up. It's best to keep it contained within the Ouija. However, some spirits are ok with asking for proof. It varies. Don't believe everything the board tells you. If it says you're going to die in the...

Sometimes there are not just thoughts that need to change; there are also bad habits and addictions (which are sometimes one in the same, really). If you have a habit you need to break, whether it's eating too much or being dependent on a drug, start deconditioning yourself by exposing yourself to your trigger and then resisting. It'll be tough, but it'll get easier with each time. And in this manner, you're controlling it. When you control it, you feel a lot better.  Let's say you're trying to quit overeating. In this example, you're at home, and it's around the time you would normally snack. Expose yourself to an aroma or a picture of a food and don't crave. It can be for 30 seconds or it could be for 5 minutes, whatever you think you can handle. The important aspect here is to do it in a normal situation. Plenty of addicts go to rehab and do fine, but eventually relapse into the bad habits. Keep your conditions as normal as possible to make them the most effective. If you're an alcoholic who's trying to quit, it's a good idea to "practice quitting" in a number of different environments and in different situations. Take it one step at a time. Get home from work and don't have that glass of wine. In time, that urge will fall away. Then, move to your local bar, and resist there. That'll become normal, too. Next step, parties. You need to face the trigger in whatever form it can take and learn to conquer it. It's a good idea to do it in different intervals, too. Sometimes cravings will come on stronger, and those are the ones that present the most risk. But if you vary up your reconditioning sessions, your body will start resisting the urge at all times, not just cyclically. Once you've gotten this far, you're almost home free. Now it's time to essentially mime your habit and still not do it. An alcoholic might sit at a bar, pour a drink, and not drink it. An over-eater might cook a meal for their family and watch them enjoy it. When you hit this stage, you officially have power over your mind and your habit....

Sometimes there will be greasy stains, and there will almost always will be feces near an entry point. There is also a characteristic odor. Mark the spot with caulk if it was hard to find, so that you can find it again easily. Start with the interior walls, as it's best to leave a way out for the mice. They may leave your home or apartment for easier pickings elsewhere.   Use spackle or caulk to seal holes that are relatively small. If you have larger holes that can't be fixed with caulk or spackle, you will need to patch your plaster or drywall. This is a bigger job but important, as a mouse can surely fit through a bigger hole. Make sure baseboards are secured and do not have gaps, so that mice can't squeeze out from behind them. If trapped within the walls, mice may chew new holes. This is why it is important to give them a chance to leave before sealing up the exterior entry point. The usual recommendation is to fill holes with steel wool. Unfortunately, steel wool rusts and thus is not a permanent solution. Instead, use green kitchen pads, cut to the right size, or copper scouring pads. The pads must be secured to the sides of the hole or the mice will eventually pull them out. Large holes will need to be repaired. Once you are sure that the interior walls are secure, seal any holes on the exterior of your building. You may use plastic scouring pads, but in some cases, walls may need tuck-pointing or other repairs. After a couple of days, look for evidence of any continuing mouse activity. If there is any, check the holes that you sealed, and look for more holes. Seal as needed. Clean up the area around the entrance. Remove feces and disinfect the area to get rid of the smell. Use a solution of one part bleach and ten parts water to accomplish this.

Sometimes thinning hair is a sign that you aren't getting the nutrients you need. Eating a well-balanced diet is a sure way to start growing thicker, healthier hair.  Make sure you get plenty of protein - eat fish, chicken, legumes, and lean meats.     Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to hair health. Eat nuts, avocados, and olive oil.     Vitamin B is also important when it comes to nourishing your hair. Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Biotin is another essential nutrient for hair growth, found particularly in seafood, eggs and soybeans.    You can buy supplements specifically designed to help you get the nutrients you need to grow thick hair. They usually contain biotin, fish oil, protein, and a range of vitamins. Prenatal vitamins are another good choice when your goal is growing thicker hair. Spending time in the sun, in the pool, and even on your morning commute may be affecting your hair if you aren't taking measures to protect it. Being more mindful of keeping your hair safe - the same way you would your skin - can lead to thicker hair in the long run.  Wear a hat when you'll be in the sun for long periods of time. This way your hair won't get dried out and brittle. Wear a swim cap in the pool, so the chlorine doesn't damage your hair. If chlorine does get on your hair, use a daily clarifying shampoo afterwards to remove it. Try not to spend too much time in polluted areas. If you have to walk next to traffic, wear a scarf or hat. Stress can be a cause of hair loss. Find ways to make your life calmer, and eventually you may find that your hair begins to grow in thicker.  Start meditating. You can't wish your problems away, but meditation helps you figure out how to handle them better.     Get regular exercise. Keeping your body healthy helps destress the mind.     Get plenty of sleep. Sleeping for 8 hours a night is essential to your mental and physical health.

Sometimes wheels don't work because they're caked with dirt or debris. Clean with a damp cloth and look for anything wedged in the wheel to make sure it needs to be replaced. You may find that a thorough cleaning the wheels and removing anything lodged in them fixes the problem. Washing the wheels also gives you a clean surface to work with as you replace them. Choose a surface where your luggage can lie down evenly while you work on it—a table or countertop is ideal. Flip your luggage with the wheels facing up so you can get a clear look at the wheel while you work on it. If you have to make an emergency replacement while on the go, lying the luggage on the ground can work as well. Screwed and riveted luggage wheels are replaced differently. Screwed wheels are attached by a small screws on both sides, whereas riveted wheels are bolted on through the center. Knowing what type your wheels are will help you purchase the right repair materials. Your replacement wheel will attach and work best if it's the same type as the original wheel. If you're not sure what model your luggage wheel is, contact its manufacturer for details.  Buying the wrong sized wheel can make installation impossible or cause the luggage to tilt from the uneven wheel sizes. You can also use roller blade wheels as an alternative to replacement wheels. Look for roller blade wheels that are approximately the same size as your old wheel.

Sometimes you just need to be in the right mindset before you can pay attention. Before class starts, try looking over your homework, reading from your textbook, or looking at the previous day's notes. This can get your brain into "class mode", so that you can have an easier time focusing.  Preparing yourself by getting everything that you'll need and arranging your desk can also help you focus. This will cut down on distractions, like needing to borrow a pencil because yours is out of lead. By changing your environment, or the things around you, you can actually really help yourself concentrate. This doesn't just mean getting rid of distractions, although that can certainly help too. Just sitting in a different spot may help you focus by changing what you can do from where you sit. Sitting in the front, for example, can help you focus because you'll know the teacher is watching you. Sitting away from your friends can also help, because you won't be physically able to talk with them as much. Participating in class can also help you focus. Participation keeps your mind engaged and focused on the lesson because you can't just drift off or think about something else. Anything you can do to participate, from asking questions to getting in to group projects or discussions, can really help you. Ask questions. A good way to participate in class is to ask questions. When you have a question about something you don't understand or the teacher said something and you want to know more about it, raise your hand and ask. Even just focusing enough to listen for things you might want to ask questions about can help you pay way more attention. Taking notes can help you focus on what your teacher is saying, even if you don't think you'll need the notes to study from later. If you can use the notes then even better! As your teacher talks, make an outline with a few side notes on the really complex topics. You'll find yourself focusing better before you know it. If you don't know how to take notes, we've got you covered!...

Sometimes you might get lazy and let garbage or unnecessary stuff pile up around your room. Get a garbage bag and go around your room. Put everything that you could throw away in there.  It can be very helpful to have a little garbage can in your room for you to throw things away into. Make sure you clean it out when it gets full. Not only will this make your room less cluttered, but garbage also attracts bugs and other pests. Plus it smells. Getting rid of it will make your room smell better. You can use an old rag, or a nicer wipe, and wipe all the dust off the top of your furniture. You’ll probably find a lot of dust on places like nightstands, dressers, and your desk if you have one. Make your bed. Clear off everything that isn’t your sheets and blanket. Tuck your sheets under the corners with “hospital corners” for a neat look. Place your blanket on top and smooth it down, then fold down the top of the blanket and sheet down. Then you can put back on your pillows or anything else you like to keep on your bed.  A good time to make your bed is first thing in the morning. That way you will remember to do it right away. Also, it will make sure that the only time your bed isn’t made is when you are sleeping in it.  Your bedsheets should be washed every couple of weeks, so make sure to strip your bed when your parents ask to make sure they stay clean. You always want to keep your clothes neat so they will look good when you wear them, and so you know where they are. If you have clothes lying around the room, sort them into clean clothes and laundry. That will help decide where they go next.  If your clothes are clean,  fold them and hang them up in the closet or put them back in the dresser where they belong. If your clothes are dirty, gather them up, and take them to the laundry room. If your parents let you, you can even do the laundry, and clean your clothes yourself. Just make sure to check with them first. Once they are clean, fold them and put them away properly in your room. If you have items lying...

Sometimes, a person may not realize that they are struggling, and may stay longer than they should or try to "tough it out." This only makes things worse. Intervene on their behalf as soon as you notice that they are getting stressed, and help them take some quiet time to calm down. Your loved one is feeling overwhelmed and upset, and your support can comfort them and help them calm down. Be loving, empathetic, and responsive to their needs. Remember, they aren't doing this on purpose. Being judgmental will only worsen their stress level. The fastest way to stop the overload is often to remove them from the situation. See if you can take them outside or to a quieter place. Ask them to follow you, or offer to take their hand if they can handle being touched. Lower any bright lights, turn off music, and encourage others to give your loved one some space.  The person can tell when people are watching them and may be embarrassed or ashamed if they feel like they are being stared at. During overload, the person can have trouble understanding what is happening, and if you startle them, they may misinterpret it as an attack. Offer first, and talk about what you're doing before you do it, so they have time to decline. For example, "I'd like to take your hand and lead you out of here," or "Would you like a hug?"  Sometimes, overloaded people are soothed by a tight hug or a back rub. Other times, being touched makes it worse. Offer it, and don't worry if they say no; it isn't personal. Don't trap them or get in their way. They may panic and lash out, such as pushing you away from the door so that they can leave. Open-ended questions are more difficult to process, and when the person's brain is already struggling to cope, they may not be able to form a meaningful answer. If it's a yes or no question, they can nod their head or give a thumbs up/thumbs down to respond. The person might need a drink of water, a break, or to move onto a different activity. Think about what would be most helpful right now, and go do it.  As...

Sometimes, an annoying person may cross a line to the point you feel uncomfortable or threatened. In these scenarios, it's okay to stand up for yourself in the moment. Be assertive and address the situation.  Calmly tell the person they crossed a line. Let them know you do not tolerate this type of behavior. For example, "Don't talk to me like that. I don't need unsolicited advice." If you feel uncomfortable because of an annoying person at work or school, document this. You want to make sure you have information to give to a higher authority if it comes to that.  Each time the person gets on your case, briefly jot down what was said, who saw it, and the date and time. If you ever need to raise a formal complaint, you'll have a lot of information from which to pull. If someone is consistently annoying you, it's okay to calmly address the behavior. Wait until you can get a moment alone with the person and calmly and collectively explain what they are doing wrong.  For example, "I know you don't mean anything by it, but I don't love getting teased about my outfits." Let the person know how the behavior makes you feel. "It makes me feel uncomfortable at work, because people are always pointing out my looks now." Lastly, tell the person where to go from here. For example, you can say, "I really don't want you to make comments like that anymore. Do you understand?" Instead of criticizing the person, tell them what types of actions you won't tolerate. This will help prevent conflict. Instead of saying, "You're so annoying," you might say, "I really need quiet time to get my work done." If someone's behavior does not improve after a direct confrontation, call in a higher authority. If you're in school, let a teacher or principal know. If you're at work, talk to someone in the HR department. You have a right to feel comfortable at your place of work or your school.

Sometimes, chronic pain can cause suicidal thoughts and emotional distress. Talk with your doctor about what you can do to address your pain. It may help you feel healthier and happier. Exercise has been shown to help reduce the effects of depression and anxiety. It can be difficult to exercise if you’re feeling depressed, but setting a schedule for yourself working out with a friend can help you. Going to exercise classes can also be a good way to connect with others so you don’t feel isolated or alone. Depression often changes your sleep habits, making you sleep too much or too little. Research has shown a link between disturbed sleep habits and suicidal thoughts. Making sure to get good, undisturbed sleep can help you keep a clear head. Talk with your doctor if you can’t sleep. Drugs and alcohol are involved in many suicides because they cloud your judgment. They can also increase depression and cause reckless or impulsive behavior. If you’re having suicidal thoughts, avoid drugs and alcohol completely. If you are struggling with alcohol, find a local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. This organization can help you overcome your problems with alcohol, which may help with your suicidal thoughts. A hobby, like gardening, painting, playing a musical instrument, learning a new language etc. can distract your mind from repeated, unwanted thoughts and make you feel a little comfortable. If you already have an old hobby, which has recently been neglected because of your low mood or otherwise, go back to it. If you don't, develop a new one. It may require some deliberate effort initially, but sooner than later, you will feel automatically attracted to it. Everyone has some achievements at some point of her life, which may be overshadowed by the current depressive state. Recount those. Think of the positive moments of the past, your effective struggles, your moments of triumph, joy, and glory. You probably have some goals you want to achieve. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to see the Sydney Opera House or spelunk in...

Sometimes, clearing your mind is about distracting yourself from negative thoughts that creep into your consciousness. Nothing is more distracting than playing an absorbing game or making a game out of ordinary routine.  Getting physical exercise by playing sports is a great way to feel better and take your mind off whatever is bothering you. On top of that, physical activity is a great way to cure physiological ailments and soothe psychological disorders.  Make a game out of whatever ordinary activity you are performing at the time. Have to organize your room? Make a game out of it by shooting dirty laundry into your hamper. Have to run errands? Challenge yourself to be frugal and spend half of what you normally spend. They say that idle hands are the devil's workshop, so the best thing that you can do to keep your mind clear is keep your hands occupied. Your metaphorical hands. And challenging yourself to an open-ended task is a great way to do that. Here are some ideas that you can try out to stay busy:  Take a picture of yourself every day for a year. You're probably seen the montage videos by now — the succession of pictures accompanied by music, chronicling the life of a human being in pictures. It's a great idea, and anyone can try it. But you need patience and persistence to do it every day for a year. Do something you're afraid of — every day. This was Eleanor Roosevelt's famous advice, and one that strikes a chord with many people. Maybe you're afraid of interacting with other people. (Many people share this fear.) Go out and stop a stranger for directions, and then strike up a conversation. You'll slowly begin to conquer your fear, helping your mind realize that it can let go of other troubles, as well.

Sometimes, especially in informal writing, apostrophes are used to indicate one or more missing letters.  For example, the word "don't" is short for "do not"; other examples include "isn't," "wouldn't," and "can't."  Contractions can also be made with the verbs "is," "has," and "have."  For example, we can write "She's going to school" instead of "She is going to school"; or "He's lost the game" instead of "He has lost the game." Use an apostrophe with the word "it" only when you want to indicate a contraction for "it is" or "it has.  It is a pronoun, and pronouns have their own possessive form that does not use an apostrophe.  For example, "That noise?  It's just the dog eating its bone."  This may seem confusing, but it follows the same pattern as other possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, yours, ours, theirs. Many people use informal contractions such as "shouldn't've" or "'ought." These contractions aren't real contractions, so avoid using them in formal writing.  Another mistake to avoid is using people's names in contractions. For example, if you use "Bob's" as a contraction of "Bob is," then that's not correct. "Bob's" is supposed to be a possessive, not a contraction. It's okay to use pronouns in contractions such as "he's" or "she's."

Sometimes, half of your work will be done for you. You'll have all the varying terms on one side and all the constant terms on the other side. If this is the case, all you have to do is the following. For the equation 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10}, we just have to subtract the numbers from one another. Remember that the coefficient of x is the number in front of the varying term.  In this example, the coefficient of x{\displaystyle x} in 11x{\displaystyle 11x} is 11{\displaystyle 11}. That division is 11x/11=22/11{\displaystyle 11x/11=22/11} to get x=2{\displaystyle x=2}. The answer to the equation 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10} is x=2{\displaystyle x=2}.

Sometimes, if you go up or down a size in your screwdriver, you can get the screw head to catch, even if it is mostly stripped. You can also switch to a flat head instead of a Phillips. If it doesn't turn on the first try, move on to the next size. You don't want to further damage the screw head. Cut a large rubber band so you have a flat long piece instead of a circle. Lay the rubber band over the screw head, and then try to take the screw out with a screwdriver. The rubber gives it extra grip, helping you remove the screw. Sometimes, a rusted screw will bond with nearby materials. Spraying or pouring a chemical over the screw, such as liquid wrench, oven cleaner, soda (like Coke or Pepsi), or even lemon juice can dissolve those bonds. Spray or pour it in, and let it sit for 10 minutes before checking it. You may need to reapply it several times or even wait a day for the chemical to do its magic. Drip a bit of superglue on the screw head. Place the bit or screwdriver on the head. Let the glue dry, then try removing the screw by pressing down on the screw and twisting it out. If the screw top is completely stripped, use a rotary cutter to slice a small strip across the top. Pull the screw out with a flat head screwdriver or bit. If nothing seems to work, use bits to demolish the screw. For instance, you can use a large bit to drill down into the screw, essentially destroying it. You can also use a bit to take the head of the screw off and then pull the shank out with pliers.

Sometimes, letting someone know why and how they hurt you can make you feel like you got back at them. If possible, let your ex know you want to talk.  A productive confrontation may make you feel better. Prior to the conversation, try to write down your thoughts.  Write down how you feel and why. Try to find the best way to articulate how you were hurt. Focus on what you expect to get out of the situation. Do you want an apology? Do you want your ex to understand how he hurt you and feel bad? Expectations can skew how you behave. When you're hurt and angry, it can be especially difficult to control your emotions. If you go into the conversation expecting your ex to react a particular way, you may find yourself becoming angry or frustrated if things unfold differently.  You want the conversation to flow naturally. You do not want to react with surprise or frustration if things unfold slightly different than you imagined. Go into the conversation acknowledging you're uncertain what will occur. This way, you'll be better equipped to handle unexpected turns. "I"-statements are statements phrased in a way to reduce blame. They put focus on your feelings over an outside judgement of the situation. An "I"-statement has three parts. It begins with, "If feel..." after which you immediately state your feeling. From there, you state the action that led to that feeling. Lastly, you explain why you felt the way you did.  For example, you may be inclined to say something like, "It was incredibly hurtful that you lied to me about needing time to yourself. You immediately started dating someone else. You could have just told me you weren't interested in me romantically." Rephrase the above sentiment using an "I"-statement. For example, "I felt incredibly hurt when you told me you didn't want to be in a relationship and then had a new girlfriend in a week because I wish you have been honest with me." An apology can really help make you feel better. It lessens the need for revenge and helps you forgive someone who hurt you....

Sometimes, nothing can be more fun than doing karaoke with your best friends. Sing your lungs out and have your friends videotape it or record on another recording device. Make up crazy dance moves and just act goofy. Don’t be self-conscious about it—the worse you are, the more fun it will be. If you’re nervous about singing on your own, make sure you get a singing partner or two. Pick old songs from when you were in elementary school and have fun belting them out at the top of your lungs. If you really want to get fancy, you can even get a karaoke machine for you and your friends to use at home, so you’re less self-conscious. But remember that part of the fun of karaoke is embarrassing yourself in front of strangers. You don't have to be good to have fun bowling. Bring a bracelet-making set and a group of friends to the bowling alley and bowl your hearts out. While the others are bowling everyone else makes friendship bracelets, so there’s never a dull moment. This can be a fun way to bring together friends who like bowling and jewelry making too. Bowling can get a little boring if you’re with a big group and have to wait forever for your turn. Making bracelets while you wait can make it so you always have something fun to do. . If the weather is hot and humid outside, what better way to have fun than to get wet? Invite your friends over for a watery day. Make a slip 'n' slide by putting a plastic tarp on a hill. Make sure you pin it into place so it doesn't blow away! Then get the hose and pour water onto it while you and your girls slide down. Have a friendly water balloon fight afterward and dry off with towels, lemonade, and brownies.  Don’t think you’re ever too old for a slip ‘n’ slide! This can be a cool way to channel your inner-child. You can also get all fancy and buy a slip ‘n’ slide, but that’s not as fun as making your own. . Have a group of nine or ten friends head to the park with you for some softball! Nobody has to be very good at it, and the game doesn’t need to be very competitive at all,...

Sometimes, past life regression requires tools that we are unable to master—self-hypnosis, for example, can be very difficult. Certified hypnotherapists who specialize in past life regression have been trained in the necessary fields. Here's how you can expect them to direct you:  They may play music as they talk you into a relaxed state, making you feel safe, warm, and comfortable. Let yourself follow along, and find your inner calm. Clear your mind of directed thought, and let whatever comes to you happen naturally. Relax your muscles in your body, especially your neck and shoulders letting the tension release. As you relax deeper, they may talk about the light, letting it flow through you, reaching into every part of your body, until it totally surrounds you. Once you are prepared and totally relaxed, they will open the doors to your many past lives by guiding you back through time. They'll encourage you to explore your memories, with as much detail as you recall. They may take you back to the womb, and talk you through being reborn in a past life. When you've discovered your past life, they will guide you through it, encouraging you to feel it as you remember it, only this time when you awake, you'll have full knowledge of your past. When you're session draws to the close, the hypnotherapist will slowly bring your back to the present reality and your current life. You have just experienced your past life.

Sometimes, people are perceived as being naive because their worldview is narrow or they have only limited life experience. Getting out and interacting with people who live distinctively separate lives can be a learning experience that helps you understand the world with greater nuance.  You might be naive because you grew up well-off and are blind to those less fortunate than you. Having friends from different socioeconomic backgrounds can help you to appreciate how fortunate you are. Individuals who grow up in small towns often are naive to urban lifestyles. Visiting a city and connecting with people who live there can empower you and bring you knowledge about worlds different than your own. Friendships between people from different cultures helps you to develop empathy for all human beings and respect other cultures' beliefs and practices.  You could try joining a cultural club in your community, or learning a foreign language. If you know people from other cultures and walks of life, ask them questions (politely, of course) about their customs, views, and experiences. You can only learn as much as you're willing to listen. Some naive people are that way because they were raised in very sheltered environments. Maybe your parents didn't allow you to go to parties or hang out with other kids your age, so you missed out on certain experiences.  Make up for lost time by doing all the exciting activities you can think of to change your perspective of the world and the people in it. Go skydiving, hike/camp through a national park, write a novel, or learn a new language. Novel experiences stimulate new brain cell growth. So, not only are you expanding your behavioral repertoire and collecting stories to tell, but you're also benefiting brain health. When you have always done things a certain way, it can be challenging to suddenly change the direction of your sails. However, you will never know exactly how talented you are or what you are capable of if you don't break out of the box you've been in.  Don't settle...

Sometimes, sitting back and doing nothing is the best way to get back at a bully or other tormentor who wants to get a rise out of you. By constantly going after them, hurling your own insults and spraying your anger back, they continue to hold the upper hand over you and prove that you got what you deserved. By ignoring them and cutting that person out of your life, they're dead to you. It's over and you can forget them. Being ignored can be just as frustrating, if not more, than being taken advantage of. This technique works especially well for people who seek to embarrass you in front of others, like siblings, bullies at school, or coworkers who make jokes at your expense. Don't let them boss you around. "The best revenge is living well." Act as if whatever happened that provoked your revenge affected you in no way. Put up barriers and get on with things as you always do. Even if you're stuck in a jam because of what someone has done to you, hold your head up high and don't let them see how it has hurt you. The sweetest revenge can be getting on with your life and living a better one than the person who inflicted pain on you. If you have to see the person on a regular basis, plan out great stories to tell about yourself to illustrate how well you're doing, how great your life is. If someone embarrassed you at work or school, talk about your great weekend out on the town with your huge crew of interesting friends, or the cool bike trip you took. If someone bullies you on Facebook, or constantly bombards you with irritating Tweets or Instagram photos, don't let it remain a part of your life. Unfriend them, unfollow them, and block them. You can even report them if their actions violate the site's policies. Don't let silly minor irritations become big sources of conflict. Before long, the memory of their irritating humble brags and conspicuous photos of them with your ex will fade into a distant memory. It can be tempting to get into a mud-slinging contest online, trading wall posts and having chat-style...

Sometimes, the cause of peeling lips is the result of our own actions. Oftentimes, people bite their lips somewhat unconsciously when feeling anxious, bored, or stressed. If you notice your lips are peeling or cracked, try to figure out if you've been biting your lip. If you have, take measures to stop the habit.  Try to figure out what situations lead to lip biting. Do you bite your lips when you're feeling anxious or engaging in certain social situations, like meeting new people or interacting with co-workers? Do you simply bite your lips when you're bored, like when watching TV or waiting for a bus?  After identifying what situations lead to lip biting, engage in anxiety and boredom reducing behaviors that do not have a negative effect on your body. You could try deep breathing, relaxing your muscles, or what is called a competing response. This is a behavior you engage in that makes it impossible to bite your lip. You could, for example, chew gum to occupy your teeth with an alternative activity. If your lip peeling occurs after exposure to a certain food, cosmetic product, or season it may be allergy-related.  Cosmetic products, lip balms, toothpastes, dyes, and fragrances often contain material which irritates the lips, eyes, and mouth. If you notice your lips peel after using a particular product, you might want to ditch that item and opt for an alternative.  Even if you don't believe your peeled lips are a result of cosmetic products, it's best to ditch the lipstick and lip balm until peeled lips heal. Such products can carry germs and peeled lips are more susceptible to infection.  Certain seasons, like early spring, can trigger allergic responses due to the increase of pollen in the air. If you're sensitive to seasonal change, try spending more time indoors or purchasing over-the-counter allergy medications. Allergen exposure can also lead to mouth breathing, which puts strain on the lips by exposing them to more air and debris. This can cause peeling and chapping. When our lips are dry and chapped,...

Sometimes, the equations will already "cancel out" a variable once you add them together. For instance, when you combine the equations 3x + 2y = 11 and 5x - 2y = 13, the "+2y" and "-2y" will cancel each other, removing all the "y"s from the equation. Look at the equations in your problem and figure out if one of the variables will cancel out like this. If neither of them will, read the next step for advice. (Skip this step if the variables already cancel out.) If the equations don't have a variable that cancels out naturally, change one of the equations so they will. This is easiest to follow with an example:  You have the system of equations 3x - y = 3 and -x + 2y = 4. Let's change the first equation so that the y variable will cancel out. (You can choose x instead, and you'll get the same answer in the end.) The - y on the first equation needs to cancel with the + 2y in the second equation. We can make this happen by multiplying - y by 2. Multiply both sides of the first equation by 2, like this: 2(3x - y)=2(3), so 6x - 2y = 6. Now the - 2y will cancel out with the +2y in the second equation. To combine two equations, add the left sides together, and add the right sides together. If you set your equation up right, one of the variables should cancel. Here's an example using the same equations as the last step:  Your equations are 6x - 2y = 6 and -x + 2y = 4. Combine the left sides: 6x - 2y - x + 2y = ?  Combine the right sides: 6x - 2y - x + 2y = 6 + 4. Simplify the combined equation, then use basic algebra to solve for the last variable. 'If there are no variables after simplifying, skip down to the last step in this section instead. Otherwise, you should end up with a simple answer to one of your variables. For example:  You have 6x - 2y - x + 2y = 6 + 4. Group the x and y variables together: 6x - x - 2y + 2y = 6 + 4. Simplify: 5x = 10  Solve for x: (5x)/5 = 10/5, so x = 2. You've found one variable, but you're not quite done yet. Plug your answer in to one of the original equations so you can solve for...

Sometimes, when someone is really hurt or angry, he just needs some time to process what's happened. He might want to take a few days or even a week to think about what you've done, and that's okay. He needs that time to get in the right head space. If you are trying to get someone to forgive you, you can't argue your way to that end. In other words, once you've said you're sorry, leave the discussion alone. You are not going to convince him by arguing that you are in the right. If you feel like you need to do something to show you're sorry, surprise him. You can bake cookies or get him a present that you know will mean something to him. Doing something thoughtful can show you still care. You need your guy to forgive you, of course, to move on in the relationship. However, you also need to forgive yourself. Everyone does bad things sometimes, and in the grand scheme of things, what you did was probably not that bad. Even if it was, you still shouldn't blame yourself forever. Give yourself permission to stop feeling bad about it. That doesn't mean you should completely forget about it. You should definitely use what you've learned to do better in the future. As much as you'd like to make it true, no one has an obligation to forgive someone else. It may be that you just have to learn from this mistake and move on with someone else.

Sometimes, when we are experiencing feelings that we don’t know how to cope with, it can be tempting to give into a habit that we find comforting.  For some people, this is binging on unhealthy foods such as chips or ice cream. For others, drinking alcohol, smoking, or doing drugs are ways to avoid dealing with these feelings. Whatever your unhealthy coping mechanism, try to identify it, and when you feel the urge to engage in that activity, turn to a different, more healthy way of dealing with your emotions. If you are experiencing strong emotions related to hiding your feelings, try talking to a trusted friend (preferably one who isn’t also a coworker) or family member about what you are feeling. If you’d prefer not to, you can also write what you are feeling in a journal. Either way, it’s important that those feelings have an outlet. Maybe you already have a hobby you enjoy. If so, renew your interest in said hobby. If you don’t have a hobby that you enjoy, think about something you’ve always wanted to try, and go try it. Not only will this distract you from your romantic feelings, it will also make you feel empowered, helping you to deal with the situation. For example, if you’ve always been interested in rock climbing, but never actually tried, then look for a climbing gym in your area. Sign up for a beginner’s course. Not only will you get fit and find a new hobby, you will also meet new people. For many of us, most of our day is spent working. Depending on your organizational culture, many of your friends might also be your coworkers. While this is fine if you’re not struggling to hide romantic feelings for your coworker, having friends that are not coworkers will give you a safe place to go when you’re not at work. Non-work friends will give you a place to vent about your feelings (if you want to), and will also broaden your perspective. You will realize that there is life and other people outside of work, helping you get over unwanted romantic feelings. It’s not impossible that you are already in a...

Sometimes, you can make yourself anxious or angry by focusing on things you have to do or things that have made you mad. Dwelling on these can make it hard to calm down and might even keep you from accomplishing things. Instead, distract yourself. Keeping your mind off of what's bothering you can help you reduce stress. For example, you might read, photograph, do crafts, spend time with friends, dance, or see a movie. Not only will talking about your anger or anxiety help you calm down, but it can also make you feel supported by others. You'll recognize that you're not alone. Social support is important for making you feel secure and accepted. Talking can also increase your self-worth, help you vent, and distract you. Don't forget, it may even make you laugh, which reduces stress too. Sit in a comfortable position in a quiet place. Focus on your breathing and notice your thoughts. Let your worries come and go without holding on to them. Research shows that meditating for just 30 minutes a day can change brain functions and behavior. It can help you feel more in control of your body and emotions when you're experiencing anger or anxiety. By focusing on your breathing and letting thoughts come and go, you can calm your body and mind. It may be helpful to ask yourself the following questions while meditating to bring your focus to the present:  What do I notice about my breathing? What do I notice about my thoughts? Can I let them come and go? Is my body tense? Where am I holding my anxiety? Take a few deep breaths and begin counting very slowly. Start by counting to 10, but keep going if you still feel angry. Focus on the counting and not the situation that's made you angry. This is a great way to learn how to respond to your anger, rather than to simply react to it. When you get angry, your body releases extra adrenaline. Counting gives your body a chance to offset the adrenaline so that you don't just act on impulse. Try to write descriptively about how you feel. This is a good way to confront your emotions,...

Sometimes, you can't help, you can't say much, and you can't do much to make the situation better. If she got some really bad news, all you can do is to be there with her and to let her know she's not alone. If you had big plans that weekend, see if you can cancel them to spend some time with her; if she has something to do, ask if you can do it together. Sometimes all that you can do is offer your time and your loving presence. You can't just comfort her and say you have to go and fall off the radar for a few days, or she will feel unwanted. Let her know that she will be a priority for you. You may have other things on your mind, but you won't let her out of your reach. She may want to be alone after being upset, but if you can, try to get her out of the house as much as you can. Even if she doesn't feel like socializing, getting out into some fresh air is guaranteed to make her feel better and make her forget about her problems, if only for a little while. Here are some things that you can try:  Invite her to see a comedy. A lighthearted movie will make her laugh and feel better for a little while. Take her out to dinner or for coffee or ice cream. Just a simple treat will make her feel better. Plus, if she's upset, she may be forgetting to eat and take care of herself. Just don't take her out for a drink -- if she's upset, alcohol is not the solution. Take her out on a walk. Getting some light exercise and fresh air can help her clear her head and feel more centered. Don't invite her out to loud events with lots of people, or she'll feel overwhelmed and unable to deal. She may be feeling so overwhelmed that she can't deal with her daily life. So, bring her a cup of coffee or lunch when she needs it; offer to clean up her room if it's getting out of control; do her laundry if it's necessary. If she's upset in class and can't focus, take some notes for her. If she needs to put gas in her car, do it for her. It won't take long to put an extra effort into your relationship and it will help her feel less...

Sometimes, you have a large spreadsheet full of formulas, and you want to copy them exactly. Changing everything to absolute cell references (as described in the section on cell references) would be tedious, especially if you just want to change them back again afterward. Use this method to quickly move formulas with relative cell references elsewhere without changing the references. Here's our example spreadsheet, which needs to have column C duplicated to column D:     Example Spreadsheet     Column A Column B Column C Column D    row 1    944       Frogs       =A1/2         row 2    636       Toads       =A2/2         row 3    712       Newts       =A3/2         row 4    690       Snakes       =A4/2           If you're just trying to copy the formula in a single cell, skip to the last step ("Try alternate methods") in this section. On most versions of Excel, you can find this by clicking the Home tab at the top of the Excel window, then clicking Find & Select in the "Editing" portion of the tab. You can also use the keyboard shortcut, CTRL F. Enter "=", click "Find All," then enter another character into the "Replace with" box. This will automatically turn all formulas (which always begin with =) into text strings beginning with some other character. Always use a character that you have not used in your spreadsheet. For example, replace it with # or &, or a longer string of characters, such as ##&.     Example Spreadsheet     Column A Column B Column C Column D    row 1    944       Frogs       ##&A1/2         row 2    636       Toads       ##&A2/2         row 3    712       Newts       ##&A3/2         row 4    690       Snakes       ##&A4/2           Do not use the characters * or ?, since these will make later steps more difficult. You may now select any cells you wish to copy, then paste them into another location. Since they are no longer interpreted as formulas, they will be copied exactly.     Example Spreadsheet     Column A Column B Column C Column D    row 1    944       Frogs       ##&A1/2      ...

Sometimes, you may not have time to take your shoes off and perform a full foot reflexology treatment. You can use hand reflexology instead. You can also use hand reflexology if your feet are injured or infected in any way. You can do this by applying pressure with your thumb along the outside edge of your palm. Work on your right hand first and then switch to your left hand. You can do this by applying pressure to the area just beneath your pinky and ring fingers on the top of your hand.  On the palm of your hand, the area for your shoulders and upper back is located just beneath your pointer and middle fingers. There is also a reflex point for the upper back on your palm just below the base of your thumb, on the outside of your hand. Always work the reflex points on both hands; your left shoulder reflexes are at the base of your left pinky and your right shoulder reflexes are at the base of your right pinky.

Sometimes, you'll need to give her several apologies before she accepts that you're truly sorry. That's okay; the more thought and effort you put into your apology, the likelier she is to forgive you. Give it to her in a romantic way, such as hidden in a nice bouquet, or delivered personally by one of her best friends. The letter can say something like this: Example: "I know that a letter can't fully make up for what I did. I also know that a letter won't fully capture how I feel and what I have to say. What I do know is that I messed up. I can't imagine not being with you. You're who I dream of when I go to bed, and who I think of when I wake up in the morning. You're everything. Nothing I do now will make up for what I did, but I can tell you that I'll never make that mistake again. I promise from the very bottom of my heart." Be careful, because some girls hate other people knowing all about their relationship. Use your discretion before a public apology. Consider this, too: she might feel like you are using public pressure to force her to forgive you, as in "Oh, how could Sarah not take him back? Look how sweet he is to her!" It might ultimately be better to keep these things between you as a couple.  Go for the straightforward public apology. Just go up to her when she's with a group of friends, have something prepared, and bare your heart. Look her deeply in the eyes when you apologise, and focus your attention solely on her. If you're feeling really creative, try using a flash mob to apologize to her. Flash mobs require a lot of work and preparation, so be sure it will work if you do decide to pull it off. Girls love these three things. Be sure to write a short message to her; flowers and chocolates without a message apologizing again takes a lot of the emotion out of it. Remember, you want emotion! Songs about missing people, having wronged people, or just songs about guilt and shame would work too. Of course, any song that has significance to you as a couple would be nice. You could try changing some...

Sometimes, you’ll find yourself getting really, strongly angry, sad, happy, or excited. Understanding what sets off these stronger-than-normal reactions, what their root cause is, can help you understand yourself better.  For example, maybe you get really violently angry about people talking during a movie. Are you really angry about the talking or are you angry because you felt like it was a personal sign of disrespect towards you? Since this anger doesn’t help the situation, you might be better off trying to find ways that you can be less concerned about people respecting you, just to keep your own blood pressure down. Repression is when you don’t want to think about something, so you help yourself to forget it even happened. Transference is when you emotionally react to one thing, but what you’re really reacting to is something else. Both of these behaviors, which are very common, are unhealthy and finding out why you do them and finding ways to handle those emotions in a healthier way will make you a much happier person.  For example, you might think that you’re not sad about your grandma dying, but when your family decides to get rid of her favorite old chair you get really angry and upset. You’re not really upset about the chair being gone. It was stained, smelled funny, and probably contained radioactive foam for all you know. You’re upset that your grandma is gone. Do you turn every conversation you have into a conversation about yourself? Do you make jokes at your own expense whenever you talk about yourself? How and when you talk about yourself can reveal a lot about how you think and how you perceive yourself. It’s healthy to talk about yourself sometimes and it’s good to realize that you can’t do everything, but you should pay attention to extremes and think about why you go to those extremes.  For example, your friend might have just finished her PhD, but when you’re all talking about it, you turn the conversation to be about when you were working on your master's. This might be because you feel...

Sometimes, zippers may stop working because a bit of the surrounding fabric gets caught in the teeth. Inspect the garment or accessory closely for snags, folds, tangles and other signs of a hangup. These tend to be fairly easy to correct.  Snags are usually to blame when a zipper completely refuses to budge. If there are no visible obstructions in the zipper teeth, you may need to try lubricating the teeth instead.

Somewhere near the toilet, there should be a shut-off valve. It's generally a small knob found on the wall or floor near the toilet. This shuts off the water supply when turned clockwise, allowing the toilet to drain. Be careful not to break the valve or the pipe. Hold the base of the valve with one hand and turn it with the other. Carefully take the top off of the toilet tank and set it aside on a soft surface, like a towel, so it doesn’t break. This way, you can see the water as it drains to make sure it's draining completely. Press down on the flush valve. Flushing the toilet should cause the water in the tank to start to drain. If the water doesn't appear to be draining, double check the shut off valve. Make sure you twisted it as far as you can to switch off the water supply. If the toilet knob will not shut off properly, try temporarily shutting off the water supply to your house. Keep pressing down on the flush valve. Hold it down until all the water drains from the tank of your toilet.

Sore throat spray contains a local anesthetic that will minimize the pain of a sore throat temporarily. Follow the directions on the packaging to know how many sprays you can apply and how often you should apply them. These sprays are available at most pharmacies and over-the-counter medication sections in big box and grocery stores. Like sore throat sprays, lozenges made to ease sore throats contain a local anesthetic that minimizes the pain of a sore throat. These lozenges come in a variety of flavors and are available at most pharmacies and general stores.  Like other over-the-counter medications, you need to follow the directions for how often you can use the product. A local anesthetic does not eliminate the pain permanently. It will only temporarily relieve it. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help to eliminate a variety of types of pain, including pain caused by vomiting. However, you need to make sure that the nausea and vomiting episode is over before taking a pain reliever, as this could upset your stomach and cause further discomfort. Some pain relievers you can use for sore throat pain include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin.

Sound generators drown out ringing and buzzing with white noise, relaxing sounds, or soft music. Options include small, in-ear devices, headphones, and white noise machines. You could also try using household items, such as an air conditioner, air purifier, fan, or a television on low volume.  Although sound therapy doesn’t cure tinnitus, it could make your symptoms less noticeable, improve your concentrate, and help you fall asleep. Medical-grade sound therapy devices can be expensive, and aren’t covered by insurance plans. If you need a more affordable solution, find environmental sounds or soft, relaxing music on music or video streaming services. Stable, neutral sounds, such as white noise (which sounds like a steady “Shhh”), are more effective than sounds with varying intensities, such as waves. If you experience hearing loss, hearing aids can mask ringing or buzzing by increasing the volume of outside sounds. Have your primary doctor refer you to an audiologist, or hearing specialist. They can help you select and get fit for hearing aids.  If you don’t experience hearing loss, you can also get hearing aids or implants that stimulate the auditory nerve or mask ringing and buzzing with white noise. Though hearing aids are expensive, most insurance plans cover basic hearing aids. Psychoactive drugs can reduce your symptoms’ severity, help relieve tinnitus-related insomnia, and make it easier to cope with tinnitus. These medications are most effective for serious cases of tinnitus, in which symptoms trigger stress, anxiety, and depression.  Stress, anxiety, and depression can worsen tinnitus. These emotions and tinnitus can form a circular relationship, or trigger and worsen each other. If you experience this circular effect, your doctor might recommend an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication. Antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications may cause undesirable side effects, such as blurred vision, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, irritability, and lower sex drive. Tell your doctor about any side effects...

Sounds too easy to be true, but it works. When you're getting ready for a run, you may want to have music categories for different distances. When you're running and hear a song, you'll know if you're on track or if you need to change your pace. Start off with some of your favorite upbeat songs, and have the beat increase as time goes on so that you continue to be motivated. Jog.fm has a number of great songs that are perfect for 7-minute miles. You'll find yourself falling in stride with the music, unable to break the beat even if you wanted. A playlist that is at 100% speed can provide the just-right environment you need to power through. If you don't know anyone faster than you, join a local running club or triathlon club, you'll meet plenty of fast runners. As you're running behind them, follow their pace and watch their movement and legs...without realizing it your rhythm and pace will match theirs and make your strides longer and pace faster. But not super faster than you. Watching someone lap you is just frustrating. You want to aim for a friend that's about 30 seconds faster than you are -- not much more, not much less. So often we'd like to do things with ourselves and that liking to do things just isn't strong enough. We need to set ourselves out on a path that we can't deviate from. So figure yours out! How many times a week are you willing to run? What days and when? What kind of running? What will you do? A weight loss plan might not hurt, either. Losing even 5 pounds can put a bit more pep in your step. If there's some wiggle room in your diet (that is, you could make some improvements), consider this idea. The lighter you are, the easier it is for your body to carry you. Look to decrease your mile time by a set amount of seconds each week until you reach your goal of 7 minutes. Start every run by saying if it's a Maintenance Run, Challenge Run or an "I'm Feeling Lucky" Run. Setting expectations for yourself will encourage you to run with a purpose in mind, not wanting to break your promises.  A...

Soybeans are rich in phytoestrogenic compounds known as isoflavones (especially genistein and glycitein). These compounds mimic the effect of estrogen in the body, which can reduce the production of testosterone secondarily. Soy also contains a compound called daidzein, which can be transformed in the large intestine by some people (the process needs certain "friendly" bacteria) into the highly anti-androgenic compound equol. Equol can directly reduce the production or effects of testosterone.  Soy products are diverse and can be found in cereals, breads, tofu, various beverages, energy bars and meat substitutes (vegetarian hot dogs and burgers, for example). Soy is a phytoestrogen, or plant compounds that also bind to estrogen receptors.  They  "are not" equivalent to human produced estrogen.  Unlike human produced estrogen which acts upon both of estrogen's alpha and beta receptors, plant estrogens preferentially only act upon beta receptors.   Despite rumors on the contrary, soy consumption is not associated with breast or thyroid issues (estrogen alpha receptor issues) and have shown in clinical studies to be generally healthful. Nevertheless, soy has a number of real issues, one may be related to GMO soybeans, the other is food processing.   High temperature acid hydrolysis of soy protein commonly used to process soy makes cancer causing substances such as 3-MCPD and 1,3-DCP.  Make sure your sauces and soy powders based on soy are processed without high heat.  (for soy/oyster/hoisin/teriyaki sauce in particular, this means "naturally fermented", a process which weeks not hours.) Overconsumption of soy may reduce collagen production as collagen is disrupted through the estrogen beta receptor. Flaxseeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids (which have an anti-inflammatory effect) and compounds called lignans, which are highly estrogenic (stimulates estrogen production). Lignans are also able to reduce total and free testosterone levels in your body, while suppressing the conversion of testosterone into the more...

Space each plant between 18–24 inches (45.7–61.0 cm) apart, and insert stakes to help the plant stand up if necessary.  This is the same process if you grow your peppers from seeds or if you transplant a store-bought pepper plant. Plant the peppers as deep in the garden soil as they were in the pots. Space rows of peppers about 10–15 inches (25.4–38.1 cm) apart. The soil can be dry at times, but pepper plants will produce the largest, most succulent fruit when watered regularly. Give the plant enough water to moisten the soil down to the roots. This will add nutrients that help the peppers to grow, and help to block out some weeds from taking root immediately.  Straw and grass clippings make great mulch for pepper plants. Add a layer about two inches thick to all of the soil between and around each pepper plant. If weeds pop up through the mulch, pull them gently by hand to avoid damaging the roots of the pepper plants. Weeds compete with your plants for space and nutrients and therefore should be removed from the planting area. Slow growth or the appearance of pale leaves are indicators that your pepper plants need fertilizing. Choose a high nitrogen fertilizer such as fish emulsion or compost tea and spread an even coating over the planting area. Follow the directions on your fertilizer bottle, and water before you fertilize so you don’t get run-off fertilizer. Usually, peppers take around two months to mature enough to be harvested. To encourage your pepper plant to keep producing early in the season, harvest your peppers just before peak ripeness.  Later on in the season when your plant is nearing the end of the production season, however, you can allow them to mature a bit longer before harvesting. The richer the color, the riper the fruit. Cut the pepper at the top of the stem. Pulling on your peppers can damage the fragile stalks and roots. If you are expecting a frost, be sure to pick all of the fruit, even if it is a bit under-ripe. A frost will damage any leftover fruit.

Space the rubber bands several inches apart. The parts of your garment that are rubber-banded will stay the original color, while the exposed fabric will turn white when you bleach it.  You can get creative with your designs or you can just bunch up the fabric and put rubber bands on it to get a random and totally unique look. As closely tied as the rubber band or the string you use will be, the tenser removing it will become. If you want, instead or removing, you can cut off the rubber bands carefully, in the end. To create a traditional spiral tie-dye pattern, hold your garment with 2 fingers and twirl it so it twists tightly. Keep twirling until the entire garment is twisted into a tight knot. Secure the twirl with several rubber bands, then apply your bleach mixture. You can use a string to tie it up too. The tighter the spirals are secured, the better the distinction between darker and lighter areas will be formed. If you want to create a haphazard tie-dye, try using rubber bands to create several tight, small knots on the garment. Bunch these all together and secure with more rubber bands, then apply the bleach. Secure them tightly so the bleach doesn't seep through the knots. If you want to create a layered look, twist up your garment and apply rubber bands, then apply bleach to your fabric and let it sit for about 5-6 minutes. Take all of the rubber bands off your garment, twist your garment again, put the rubber bands back on, and re-spray the garment with the bleach mixture. Leave the second batch on for the 8-10 minutes, then rinse. After you’ve tie-dyed your garment, you can make a cool faded effect by dip-dyeing the fabric. In a large bucket, dilute another mixture of 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water. Dip the bottom few inches of your garment in the bucket and leave it for 5-10 minutes to create an ombre effect.

Space them evenly along the baking sheet, skin-side down. Try not to let any of the wedges touch, since they won't cook as evenly that way. There's no need to drizzle oil on the wedges; the puree should have no ingredients aside from pure pumpkin if you plan on using it in a recipe later. Place the baking sheet in the oven and let the wedges bake for about 40 minutes. When the wedges are finished, you should be able to easily slide a fork through the flesh. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.  Don't roast the wedges until they turn brown; this affects the flavor of the puree. They should be roasted until they're just cooked through. Pour some water into the baking tray with the wedges to prevent them from overcooking. The water will create steam as it heats up, helping the pumpkin cook evenly without browning. Once the wedges are cool enough to handle, it's time to peel the skin away from the flesh. Use your fingers to lift the skin off of the pumpkin meat. It should come off quite easily. You can use a fork to help you separate the skin if necessary. Put the pumpkin meat into a bowl and discard the skin. Place it in a food processor and pulse it until it's completely smooth. Check to make sure there are no remaining lumps. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a potato masher instead.  If the pumpkin puree seems too dry, add a few spoonfuls of water to moisten it. If the pumpkin puree seems too wet, strain it through cheesecloth before storing. Pumpkin puree can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for several days. You can also place it in freezer bags and freeze it for a few months for later use.

Spaying a cat removes her ovaries and prevents the heat cycle from occurring. It prevents her from getting pregnant, and reduces the risk of certain cancers and other diseases.  If you can't afford the surgery, look for low-cost spay services. Many clinics offer this service at a reduced price because it reduces the population of stray cats. Look up your area in the databases listed on the USDA website. There is a small chance of leftover ovarian tissue sending the cat into heat even after the surgery. If this occurs, consult a veterinarian. A vet can perform the spaying procedure at any point in your cat's hormonal cycle — even when she's in heat. However, there's a risk of increased blood loss at that time. The procedure is possible, but consult an experienced veterinarian for advice. The hormones prostaglandin and estrogen can be used to stop a cat’s heat cycle; however, this treatment has serious side effects including uterine infection and tumors. Because of the risks, take this step only when spaying is not an option. Always consult in detail with a vet, who will need to prescribe the hormones and explain how to use them properly. Even if the cat can't be spayed for medical reasons, the risks may not be worth the calm behavior.

Speak on matters where you are able to bring more clarity to others or help add to the discussion. Speaking from a desire to add something or just get your voice heard, will not add to your perceived level of articulateness. Let others speak about things that they are an expert in and add to that discussion through articulate questions. Do your research and know the alternative perspectives but be willing to quit sharing when you move outside your current knowledge. If you don't know your subject well but have to speak on it, then extensive research will help you sound like you know your stuff. This helps to eliminate the verbal pauses and may prevent you from saying something that does not make sense. It's okay if this slows you down a bit. In fact, pausing before you give a real answer will make you look more thoughtful and intelligent than someone who just blurts out a string of nonsensical phrases as soon as a question is posed. If someone asks you a question and you really want to think it through, don't be afraid to say, "Come back to me in a minute. I need to gather my thoughts." You will sound much more prepared after you have time to think. Using a variety of words that mean that same thing creates more interest and color in your speech. If you do not understand the words you read, consult a dictionary or thesaurus. The easiest way to expand your vocabulary is to read, read, read.

Speak to your doctor prior to starting any new diet or physical activity plan.  They will be able to tell you if your plan is safe and appropriate for you. Typically, excess belly fat is associated with many chronic health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. This makes it even more important to inform your doctor of your plan and make sure it's safe for your specific health conditions. Studies have shown that carbohydrate-rich foods can cause an increase in belly fat and waist circumference. Reduce the amount of these foods in your diet to help you lose weight and decrease the amount of belly fat.Your diet should consist of mostly lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy.   Limit your intake of empty carbohydrates like bread, rice, crackers or pasta. These foods aren't necessarily unhealthy, especially if they're whole grain foods, however they are not considered nutrient-dense foods. If you're going to eat a carbohydrate-rich food, choose 100% whole grains. These foods are higher in fiber and some nutrients and are considered a healthier choice. Make sure, too, you pay attention to portions one portion of pasta or rice should be half a cup or 125 ml. Whole grain foods include: brown rice, 100% whole wheat bread and pasta, barley or quinoa. Protein-based foods can help men lose weight, reduce belly fat and maintain lean muscle mass.  Consuming adequate amounts of protein will also help keep you feeling satisfied longer.  To lose fat, protein should make up about 20 to 25% of your daily calories. For instance, if you're eating 1,600 calories a day you need 80 to 100 grams of protein; if you're eating 1,200 calories a day, you need 60 to 75 grams of protein per day.  Lean proteins include: lentils, skinless chicken, turkey, eggs, low-fat dairy, seafood, pork, lean beef and tofu. These provide you with the energy you need and help keep you full without piling on unnecessary calories. Lower your total daily calories to help you lose weight. You can do this in several ways.

Speaking loudly and clearly is essential for stage actors. When you deliver your lines, make sure that you are speaking loudly enough that people will be able to hear what you are saying, even at the back of the theater. However, it is important to use your diaphragm to project rather than yelling. If you yell, then your throat will get sore and you may lose your voice. Take a deep breath into your diaphragm and then try practicing breathing out and saying “ha” at the same time. This will help you to identify your diaphragm. You should feel the breath coming from your abdomen and out through your mouth as you say “ha.” After you have mastered this, try speaking your lines using your diaphragmatic breath. Speaking your lines clearly is also important for a good acting voice. Make sure that you are enunciating each word of your lines so that people will understand what you are saying. To ensure that you are speaking as clearly as possible, open your mouth as wide as you can when you speak. This will help you to enunciate your lines. Emoting is also an important part of delivering your lines well. To emote, try to think about what your character’s emotions should look like.  For example, if you are saying something that makes the character feel sad, then you might slow down the pace of your lines slightly. You might even allow your voice to register the emotion of sadness more dramatically by speaking with a bit of a trembling voice. Consider the appropriate emotion for each of your character’s lines to determine how your voice should sound when you speak them.

Spears thicker than a pen will hold up better to freezing than thinner asparagus. Choose fresh, in-season asparagus that has not gone limp or woody. Avoid asparagus that is brown or discolored; it won't taste good after freezing. Chop about one inch from the ends of the asparagus. The chewy texture of the ends is unpleasant, especially after freezing, so make sure you get rid of the entire dry or woody part. In order to retain its flavor, asparagus should be blanched before freezing. This is the process of boiling the asparagus for about 30 seconds and removing it from heat before it loses its crunch. The asparagus is plunged into ice water to stop it from cooking. Boil a large pot of water and prepare a large bowl of ice water. In order for the asparagus to blanch evenly, it's best to chop it into smaller pieces. If you'd prefer to leave the stalks intact, that's fine, but the flavor may be compromised. If your spears are extra-thick, boil them for longer; if they're thin, boil them for just thirty seconds. Monitor the asparagus carefully so you don't end up overcooking it. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer it to the ice bath so it can cool down and stop cooking. Leave it in the ice bath for the same amount of time you boiled it, then transfer it to a colander to let it drain and dry. Lay out the pieces on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and place the sheet in the freezer. Freeze the asparagus for about one hour, until each piece is slightly ice. Flash freezing the asparagus before longer-term storage will keep the pieces from freezing together into a solid mass. Put the frozen pieces into a freezer bag or a plastic freezer container. Pack it as tightly as possible in order to remove most of the air. Label the container with the date.   Frozen asparagus will keep for up to a year in properly cold conditions.
