Gay men, in particular, may have had years of self doubt and questioning due to living with homophobia in all its forms. This takes time and effort to shake off!  Take the time to identify what you think is beautiful about yourself, and nurture that beauty instead of doubting it. You should also believe other people when they tell you you are beautiful. They are telling you the truth as they see it! It can be hard to find stereotypically "gay" aspects of your composure or personality beautiful. This is because straight society has defined these things as undesirable. Instead of falling prey to these ideas, embrace your "gay voice" or mannerisms that are stereotypically associated with gay men. Attractiveness may have less to do with physical traits than other character traits, such as a sense of humor or a sharp intellect. Become really good at something. Do projects or hobbies you love to do. Develop a career that is fulfilling. Having passions, skills, and pursuits makes you a more interesting, and attractive, person. It can be easy to see someone and think, "I wish I could look that good." This can be especially hard in the gay community, where looks and traditional attractiveness tends to take center stage. However, this accomplishes nothing. Instead of comparing yourself to others, embrace your own looks. Learn to recognize your own beauty, and let the good aspects of your looks and style make you feel more confident. There is no one way to be a beautiful and attractive gay man. Some gay men find skinny, hairless men beautiful. Other gay men prefer hairy, large men. In other words, if you want to feel beautiful you don't necessarily need to change yourself. Instead, you can surround yourself with people who like you as you are! It is undeniable that it feels good when someone else thinks you are beautiful. If you are around people that fill you with self doubt and self hatred, those people are toxic. Find other people that can see the beauty that already exists in you.

Geckos like warmth, water, and places to hide. You can do several things to make sure your home doesn’t offer these amenities.  Maintain the general cleanliness of your home by keeping the floor swept and not leaving piles of stuff lying around, such as laundry, newspapers, boxes, etc.  Keep your furniture six inches from the walls and don’t hang up many pictures: geckos are nocturnal and like warm, dark places to hide out during the day.  Keep your thermostat turned down as low as you can handle: geckos like the warmth and humidity of your home when it gets cool at night.  If you have any leaky faucets or pipes or any area that generally offers stagnant water in a humid environment – fix them and remove the water because geckos are drawn to those environments. Your backyard can be a welcome mat to your home if geckos are drawn there by their creature comforts: water, insects, and cover. Here are some guidelines to follow in order to make your yard less welcoming:  Remove any places where water can stagnate, such as birdbaths, as these are the breeding grounds for insects geckos prey upon and sources of hydration to geckos.  Water your yard sparingly, as lizards enjoy the moist environment and will drink the water for hydration.  Do not plant succulents: if a gecko cannot find any water for hydration, it will nibble on succulents to survive.  Trim back your bushes, especially those close to your house, because geckos love places to hide.  Placing some netting over your shrubs will keep geckos from using them as hideouts.  Use outdoor lighting sparingly, as it draws insects that geckos prey upon. If you must use outdoor lighting, consider sodium vapor or yellow lights. Geckos can squeeze their little scaly bodies into small crevices and holes, so make sure your home is well sealed. Walk around the inside and outside of your home and fill any cracks with caulk and make sure your windows and venting are screened properly.

Geeks and nerds may share similar outward traits — or not — but when you compare their approach to life, the differences become apparent.  Nerds love to use jargon or unfamiliar terminology in their dialogue, whereas geeks will use obscure references rarely.  For example, a nerd might say, "That's an overused Foley. The SD must be lazy." The geek would say of the same thing, "Oh! I love how Percy Jackson uses the Wilhelm Scream in every movie!"   Geeks often take interest in the microcosmic details of life, such as noticing that your present situation is much like one from a news article or a novel. Nerds will be seemingly uninterested in the details of daily life, being more focused on the macroscopic, such as scientific possibilities and the future of humankind. You will know them by how they play.  A geek may enjoy board games, film (and may follow directors, composers, or key grips obsessively), tech gadgets, hacking, and techno music. A nerd enjoys solitary pursuits like programming and Second life, or games like chess and go. While they both have obsessive traits about their passions, they diverge when it comes to normal human interactions.  A geek has more normal social skills, though they can be prone to being pretentious and long-winded, especially when the topic happens to land on their particular passion. Then, they may not let you go until they've explained exactly how this widget works, and the history of the team that created it. A nerd is generally more introverted. They may know a great deal about exactly the same thing a geek specializes in, but getting them to talk about it can take some doing. It's a universal truism that geeks can fall for anybody (though the reverse may not be true). However, most nerds fall only for nerds. This may be a survival tactic, but nobody knows for sure. While nerds and geeks are both intelligent and educated, there are some career paths that appeal only to one or the other:  In addition to populating IT departments the world over, you can find geeks in artistic...

Gel ink manufacturers all confess that removing gel ink can be difficult, if not impossible, due to the highly-pigmented nature of the ink. Your best bet is to get the stain out as quickly as possible using an all-purpose cleaner.  Add a small amount of your normal detergent, stain removal gel, or even liquid hand soap directly to the stain, and rinse thoroughly with running water.  Then try to blot out any remaining ink by pressing the fabric between two absorbent cloths, or stacks of napkins or paper towels. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of household ammonia in warm water.  Soak the garment in the ammonia solution for 1 hour.  Rinse thoroughly, then hand-wash with your normal detergent, scrubbing the stain with a soft brush, if needed.  If the stain is responding to this treatment, repeat as needed until the ink is gone, and launder as usual. If the ink is not coming out, continue on to the next step. NEVER mix ammonia with chlorine bleach. Mix 1 cup of rubbing alcohol with cup of vinegar.  Place the garment on a clean dry towel, and apply the solution to the stained area with a rag or a spray bottle until the fabric is thoroughly saturated.  Allow the solution to soak in for at least 5 minutes, then pour a small amount of table salt over the stained area.  Wait 10 more minutes, and then scrub the stain with a soft brush, and rinse with hot water. If this method removed some, but not all of the ink, repeat until the stain is gone. Gel ink formulas differ, and while some simply can't be removed, others may respond to alternative treatment options.  If the above methods didn't work, you can always try the methods for removing ballpoint or rollerball ink.  Just make sure to rinse the garment very thoroughly between experiments to avoid mixing chemicals.  You might get lucky, or you might have to learn to live with your newly-enhanced garment.

Gemini is represented by twins, equal parts yin and yang. This at any time, you never know which twin you're going to get! One minute she'll be laughing and childlike, and the next minute she'll be serious and reserved. If you can handle both sides, you have a chance with this dynamic female. You never know what you're going to get with a Gemini, so if you're looking for a girl to be consistent and always caring for you, you'd be better off courting a different sign,  Virgo. She can be submissive and feminine but also dominant and masculine. If she's a true Gemini, she'll have a balance . Gemini women are unstoppable when it comes to their quick wit and creativity. They'll banter with you, do plays-on-words, and whip out their novel or painting that's in the works when you least expect it. She likely spends her free time doing something related to music, art, or literature. A gemini girl is the type who can "dish it out" and also take it. She can take a joke if you poke fun at her flirtatiously, but you better expect her to have a cutting, witty remark to make back at you! There is a side to Gemini that is very young, childish, flighty, and immature. There almost has to be to balance her almost overly mature, serious side. However, she can't always control when it comes out. The "younger twin" may come out when she's meeting your parents or in the middle of a conference – who knows! A Gemini benefits well from a person who can reign in the more radical sides of her disposition. A person who brings out their immaturity could lead to dangerous situations, while a person who brings out their darker, serious side could lead to no fun. It's best if you are well-balanced yourself. If you have this girl around, one minute you could be reading poetry on the couch together and the next she's left you a note saying she's on vacation in Italy. This girl is curious and always looking for the next adventure, so when this side comes out, it's unstoppable. This unpredictability gets to certain people. It's easy to mistake...

Gender dysphoria is a recognized health condition where a person’s gender identity does not match the sex they were born with. It is not a mental illness, so no need to have concerns that doctors look at it that way. Some doctors might require this diagnosis before they will perform surgery. Therapy is not only important to get a diagnosis, but it’s a good way to find tools to help you cope with the stress of surgery. Depending on your insurance coverage, you might also need a diagnosis in order for any of your procedures to be covered. More and more plans are starting to cover gender reassignment surgery. If you have insurance, examine your policy to see what procedures are covered. Don't worry if you get confused! You can simply call and have a representative explain your coverage to you. Don't forget to make sure your doctor accepts insurance. If you don't have insurance, you still have options. You can ask if your doctor or hospital does payment plans. You can also consider taking out a personal loan to help you afford surgery. It’s up to you which, if any, surgical procedures you wish to undergo. Take some time to think about what would make you happy. There's no right or wrong way to transition. Talk to your doctor and decide if you wish to undergo a male chest reconstruction surgery, which involves removing your breasts and breast tissue. You’ll need to rest for the first few days after surgery. Follow your doctor’s guidelines about lifting and movement. Most people can return to work within 7-9 days after surgery. You might also choose to surgically remove your female reproductive organs, like your uterus. Talk to your doctor about whether a full hysterectomy is right for you. This is a big decision, so it's okay to have lots of questions. There are several different methods, including abdominal and vaginal surgeries. Ask your doctor to walk you through each option so you can know what to expect.  Many have experienced positive results from a hysterectomy. Just remember that this is a very personal...

Generally speaking blue jeans and flip flops are not appropriate dress for an interview.  Neither is very short skirts or low cut blouses, but, a three piece suit may not be appropriate, either.  What is appropriate depends upon the open position.  What you wear when interviewing for a banking position will differ from what's appropriate when interviewing to be an assistant for an up-and-coming fashion designer. A general rule of thumb is to dress as you would when working in that job. Are you dressed appropriately? Is your hair style attractive? Are your fingernails clean and trimmed? If you wear makeup, is it subdued enough for a work setting? Did you stroll into the interview on your cell phone? Also, for younger interviewees, walking into an interview with your mother may prove that you’re not ready to be independent. Make a good first impression and the interview won’t be lost from the beginning. This is an absolute must. To be sure you will make it on time, take a ride to the location a day or two before the interview so you know how to get there. Leave the house an hour earlier than you normally would, because traffic jams and bad weather happen at the worst times. Take a few moments to calm your nerves, and, if you like, say a prayer and check yourself in a mirror. When it is time to walk in the door, do so about ten or fifteen minutes before the interview is supposed to start. Never arrive late. If something comes up, such as a traffic accident, call the company as soon as possible to make them aware of the situation. If you are significantly under stress, you may wrongly read and remember simple things like the time or agreed place, or to charge your cell phone if it is a phone interview. This is a known feature of human psychology. As funny as it may seem, check the time and place at least twice, better still, do this on different dates. Professionalism is highly valued.

Generally speaking, having a successful relationship requires confidence in yourself and believing that you deserve to be loved. If you love yourself, you are more prepared to be in a relationship. If you shared your feelings and they were well received, after a bit of time has passed (the amount of time varies for each couple) you may begin to feel like you want to have an official relationship. You cannot just assume that both of you are on the same page. You have to ask him whether or not he wants to be your official boyfriend. Sometimes when you take a step back and really think about the person and your interactions, you can tell whether or not there is a future for the relationship. In some instances, it is best not to move forward with the relationship, but instead just decide to be friends. If you decide to move forward with the relationship, you should be clear about your expectations and what you need from a boyfriend in order for the relationship to be successful. You can have a long-term, committed, and loving relationship if that is what you truly desire. As with all relationships, it will take time, mutual respect, and ongoing effort. If you both agree to be boyfriends, start having fun together and enjoying each other’s company.  It is important to clarify what type of relationship you want to have. Simply saying that you are boyfriends may not be enough. You should talk about whether or not your relationship is monogamous and whether or not you both see a future together.  If you have not already, now is a good time to make sure that he is not in another relationship, especially if you decide to be exclusive.

Generally speaking, modern laptops do not have the space for a second hard drive. Additionally, modern Mac computers—both desktop and laptop versions—don't have room for a second hard drive. You can still install an external hard drive on both Windows and Mac computers. If you don't already have a SATA hard drive that you want to install, buy one before proceeding.  You'll generally want to buy a hard drive made by the same company which made your computer (e.g., HP). Some hard drives aren't compatible with certain computers. Before buying a hard drive for your computer, search for your computer's model and the hard drive's name (e.g., "HP Pavilion compatible with L3M56AA SATA") to see if they'll work together. You should never attempt to alter your computer's internal components while the computer is running, as you may seriously harm both yourself and the computer. Some desktop computers will take a couple of minutes to finish running after unplugging them. If this is the case for your computer, wait until the computer's fans have stopped running before proceeding. This process will vary from desktop computer to desktop computer, so consult your computer's manual or online documentation for specific instructions if you don't already know how to open the case. You'll usually need a Phillips-head screwdriver for this step. . This will prevent accidental damage to your computer's sensitive internal parts (e.g., the motherboard). Your primary hard drive will be mounted in a rack that's somewhere in the computer's case; there should be a similar, empty rack near the hard drive. This is where your second hard drive will go. It should fit under or next to the primary hard drive, with the cable side of the hard drive facing you. In some cases, you'll have to tighten the mounting space with screws. Follow the current hard drive's cable all the way down to where it plugs into the motherboard, which is a green panel with circuits on it. If the hard drive's cable resembles a ribbon, your current hard drive is an...

Generally speaking, quotation marks are used to denote that the information is a quote. In other words, whether you're recreating someone's verbal speech or simply re-writing something that they wrote elsewhere, you'll use quotation marks. Below are two examples of quotation mark usage:"I can't wait to see him perform!" John exclaimed. According to the article, the value of the dollar in developing nations is "strongly influenced by its aesthetic value, rather than its face value." Parentheses are often used to explain something that can't be deduced from the rest of the sentence. When using parentheses ( " ( ) " ), be sure to include the sentence's period after the closing parenthesis, except in the case that an entire sentence is within parentheses. Note that sometimes parentheses and commas can be used interchangeably. Here is an example of parentheses used for clarification:Steve Case (AOL's former CEO) resigned from the Time-Warner board of directors in 2005. Parentheses can also be used to contain information that is supplementary to the sentence they are part of. In this case, the line between using parentheses and starting a new sentence instead can be somewhat murky. A good general rule is to use parentheses for short additions and quips, not complex ideas. Here is an example of parentheses used for an afterthought. Note that the period (full stop) follows the last parenthesis — not before the first. Also note that replacing the parentheses with a comma may not be entirely suitable here, while a period or a semicolon may work: You will need a flashlight for the camping trip (don't forget the batteries!). One additional usage of parentheses is to contain the writer's direct comments to the reader.	 Usually, the comments contained in parentheses refer to the preceding sentence. As above, the shorter and simpler the better. If you have to expound at great length or reference several disparate pieces of your writing, it's usually best to start a new sentence. Here is an example of parentheses used for a...

Generally speaking, your business stands a good chance of being successful if it can satisfy a need in the market that is going unfulfilled — that is, you should aim to supply products or services that the market has a demand for. Economic data from government, academic, and industry sources (as detailed in the section above) can help you identify the presence or absence of such needs. Essentially, you will want to identify markets where a clientele exists that has both the means and the desire to patronize your business.   As a running example in this section, let's say that we hypothetically want to start a landscaping service. If we investigate a wealth of market and data from local government sources, we might find that people in one affluent neighborhood of our town have, on average, a great deal of disposable income. We could also go as far as to use government water usage data to estimate the area with the greatest percentage of houses with lawns. This information might lead us to open up shop in a rich, affluent area of town where people's houses have large yards, rather than in an area where people generally have neither large yards nor the money to pay for landscapers. Using market research, we've made an intelligent decision about where (and where not to) to do business. One of the most basic, time-tested ways of determining the attitudes of your business's customers is to simply ask them! Surveys offer market researchers a chance to reach out to large samples of people to gain data that can be used to make broad strategy decisions. However, because surveys result in relatively impersonal data, it's important to ensure that your survey is designed in a way that allows data to be easily quantified so that you can derive meaningful trends from it.  For instance, a survey that simply asks customers to write about their experience with your business may not be the most effective choice, as this requires reading and analyzing each response individually to derive meaningful conclusions. A better idea...

Generally, infections can last from 7-21 days. Often, a minor infection will clear up on its own. Under certain circumstances, however, you should seek a veterinarian.  If your cat's cold does not clear up within a 5-7 days, see a vet. You should also see a vet if your cat is dehydrated, not eating, or having difficulty breathing. A variety of diseases can cause cold-like symptoms in a cat. Depending on your cat's other symptoms and risk factors, your vet should test for other conditions. Don't hesitate to Talk to your vet about the tests needed to diagnose and treat your cat.  A complete blood count should be done to rule out any blood-related conditions. Chemistry tests to evaluate the function of organs like the liver and kidneys and Electrolyte tests may be administered to check for dehydration and imbalance. Urine tests to check for urinary tract infections and kidney issues. And if your vet suspects something more serious, they may test for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) or feline leukemia (FeLV). Depending on the underlying cause of your cat's symptoms, your vet may prescribe medications. If they do, administer it exactly as instructed. Ask your vet any questions you have about the medication before leaving the office. Make sure to give your cat a full round of the medication prescribed, even after symptoms pass.

Generally, it’s a good idea to establish for your child that consequences exist, but you need to do so within reason. If your child has done a particular thing wrong for the first time, or they did something that was okay in one situation but wrong in this one, you should only give them a warning. They’re learning and can’t be expected to read your mind. However, if they repeat a behavior that they know isn’t allowed, consequences should be put in place. Before imposing consequences, warn the child that consequences are about to happen. Counting to three is less ideal, since it teaches your child that they do not need to respond to your requests immediately. Instead, tell them that consequences will happen if they do that action and if they don’t immediately stop, it’s time to put those consequences into action. The consequences for an action should be proportionate, appropriate and logically related to the action your child took. You do not want your child to become confused about what they did wrong or why it’s wrong. Match the consequences to their actions to help your child learn and keep you from over-reacting in frustration.  For example, if your child throws their dinner when they’re done eating, make them clean it up. However, if they refuse to eat their dinner, then just take it away and give them nothing (or a simple meal of whole grain or other healthy bread and a glass of water). If they are fighting over a toy, take the toy away for a period of time. If they refuse to put on a coat, simply let them be cold for a little while. Everyone in your child's life, including their mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, brothers, sisters, etc. all need to follow the same rules. All family members need to know that consequences need to be put in place if the child does something wrong. You don’t want your toddler to become used to bad behaviors that they then bring back home or to other environments. This can be tough, but explain that it’s better for everyone and help give them the tools they need to put consequences...

Generally, keep the flashes with the kilt they match. Pull the kilt hose, which resemble knee socks, over the knee before you deal with the other two pieces.  Fasten the garter and flashes just below the knee. The flashes should be off to the outside of the leg. Fold the kilt hose to below the knee about 3-4 fingers down and over the garter, displaying a few inches of the flashes. Smooth it all out and adjust as necessary, making sure both sets of flashes are displayed at the same angle. eg: Left Hand at 11 am, Right Hand at 1 pm. Don't tie them halfway up your legs! There are two ways to tie them; choose the one that appeals most to you.   The High-Front Tie: Start by making sure your laces are the same length. Tie half a knot, keep some tension on the laces, wrap them around the back of your ankle, twist once or twice and then again around the front,(sometimes around the back twice, depends on laces length)making an X.The when back at the front again, tie it off to the side of the shin bone with a Half Hitch Bow is best.  The Low Tie: Follow the steps described in the High-Front tie method, but scrunch everything down so that it remains around your ankle instead of up your calf. With this method, tie in a bow or a half hitch bow. A sporran is a leather or fur pouch that is traditionally worn at the front of a kilt. Fasten the sporran strap using the loops at the back of your kilt. The sporran should be centered and hang about 1 hands width below the bottom of the Waist Belt. Otherwise, place the sporran at the back of your body and fasten the buckle in front of you. Swing it around so the sporran is now resting on your abdomen. They're available in a huge variety of styles and range from the classic to the contemporary. Pin your kilt pin through the front apron only. Pin it 4" (10 cm) up from the bottom hem and 2" (5 cm) in from the side. In addition to being decorative, the kilt pin's weight helps keep the kilt from flapping, preserving your modesty when a breeze whooshes by. This part is fairly...

Generally, most basic computer microphones will have one of two varieties of jack: an 1/8" TRS jack, which is essentially the same kind of jack you would find on a pair of headphones, or a USB jack, which is flat. Both of these jacks have corresponding ports on most computers. If you're using an XLR microphone, a quarter-inch jack, or some other variety of mic, skip to the next section. Almost all desktop computers will have visible microphone ports on either the front or the back of the tower. Usually, this port will be colored pink, and have a microphone image over it. If you have an eighth-inch jack, all you've got to do is plug it into this port and start testing sound.  If you have a USB jack on the end of your microphone, most computers will have two or more USB ports on the side, or the back of the computer. Simply plug the USB jack into one of these ports. Laptops and some more contemporary computers don't have microphone ports, because they're generally outfitted with internal microphones. It's usually possible to plug into the headphone port on most computers, however, and adjust your sound settings later. The easiest and quickest way to test your levels and check your settings is to go to your input sound options and make sure that the device you just plugged in is visible, and that it is selected for use. Open a recording program and attempt to use the microphone and set the levels.  On Windows, you can use the Sound Recorder, on a Mac, Quicktime or GarageBand should do fine. If you're not getting a signal, skip to the last section for troubleshooting tips.

Generally, the best locations for walking have a flat terrain, straight path, smooth surface and minimal traffic. The convenient choice would be the neighborhood around your block, but if the road is too steep, curvy or just not what you're looking for, you might want to consider other areas around your location.  Ensure you are wearing appropriate footwear. Walking puts a bit of pressure on your feet, which can cause pain if you aren’t wearing well-fitting walking shoes. Also, be sure you are wearing the correct footwear for the weather. Take your car to a park if it's too far away to walk. Parks are often flat and very peaceful. Some cities have bike boulevards or walking paths that are relatively flat and well-maintained. They also have less traffic from cars. These are good areas to pick for walking as well. If you won't be tempted to stop and browse the stores, shopping malls are also good locations for walking around. They are flat, large, and contain many different paths so you won't become bored. If you live near a large body of water, the shoreline can be a nice, relaxing place to get some fresh air and to work-in an early morning hike. If you are lucky enough to live in the country side, you can walk to your local shop, or the post box and combine a walk with a useful errand such as picking up some milk or posting a letter. If indoor exercise is your thing, use a treadmill set to a slow speed for walking. It may help to have music playing as you take your walk, especially if you are easily bored from low-key activities. Consider listening to music that also gives your mind room to wander and think about other parts of your life. You can also listen to music that is upbeat that you know that will keep up your motivation to walk. Walks are an excellent opportunity to reflect and plan for the future, although take care to avoid stressful topics. Your walk should definitely be a chance to unwind!

Generally, the cut is similar for boys or girls, featuring layers of hair and side-swept bangs. Some highlights are also common, but shouldn't be severe or particularly dramatic. Natural hair-color is more desirable than, say, blue anime-style highlights.  Boys typically have a medium-length cut with side-swept bangs, longer somewhat in the front than in the back.     Girls often have straight bangs or side-swept bangs with either straight or loosely curled hair. Generally, the hair is dark brown or chestnut-colored, as opposed to blonde.    There's no universal haircut for beauty. Talk to your hairstylist and pick one that will flatter your unique beauty and features, emphasizing your jawline and the shape of your face. It's less important to get a particular haircut than to get one that looks good on you. Ulzzang styled hair is generally very healthy-looking and shimmering, highlighting the natural beauty of your coloring. Use fortifying shampoo and conditioner, as well as regular brushings to keep your hair healthy. Be careful of using too much heat on your hair, which can fry it some and leave it frazzled looking and damaged. Let the natural oils in your hair do their work.

Generally, there are four basic parts of the pig that the most common cuts of meat come from (though many countries cut the meat differently and/or have their own names for particular cuts): the shoulder/hand, the loin, the belly/side and the leg/ham. The muscles surrounding the backbone are tender and lean (and usually more expensive!) because they aren't used as much by the pig as the muscles closer to the ground, which are tougher but more flavorful.  Shoulder - Usually divided into the lower picnic shoulder and the upper Boston shoulder (also known as the Boston butt). These cuts need to be cooked with low heat and in gently simmering liquid (e.g. a slow cooker) in order to melt away the fat and connective tissue, but the result is tender and moist. Available as: boneless Boston shoulder roast, Boston shoulder roast, cubed pork for kebabs and stews, ground pork (the picnic). Loin - This is where rib roasts, baby back ribs, tenderloin and the chops come from. Since these cuts are naturally tender, dry heat cooking methods (roasting, grilling, broiling, pan-frying and stir-frying) are best. Available as: blade roast, rib chop, loin chop, sirloin chop, sirloin roast, tenderloin. Belly/side/spareribs - The spareribs can be grilled and then roasted, but the rest of this section is usually reserved for bacon. Available as: bacon, pancetta, spareribs. Leg/ham - This cut is usually sold cured, cooked or smoked, but if you buy it fresh, you can glaze and score the rind and roast it (a popular option for holidays and special occasions). Available as: leg cutlet, smoked ham, top leg roast. Other -  If you're adventurous, there's a use for almost every part of the pig's body. You can boil the head for brawn (head cheese), stocks and soups, and fry or bake the ears for crunchy munching. Throw the hocks/trotters into long-cooked soups, stews and sauces to add body. The tail can also be eaten, as can the organs: pâté, small intestine sausages (chitterlings) and black pudding (blood filled digestive tract). Since modern...

Generally, you want the soil around your plants to be damp in summer and dry in winter. A soaker hose, where water seeps out of a hose line to water plants, should provide enough moisture for your berries if used for an hour or two every week. In some cases, like during heat or dry spells, you may need to water your berries more than usual. Training your plants by pruning them will encourage a rich and productive crop. Remove canes (stems) outside the 12 to 18 in (30.5 to 45.7 cm) total row width. Cut away any canes that are damaged, infested with insects, or appear diseased.  For summer-harvest crops of red raspberries, cut down discolored, grayish canes after they have finished producing fruit. Leave new, healthy plants. For fall-harvest crops, cut off all the canes at ground level after they have finished producing fruit. For black raspberries, cut off the side fruit-producing branches after harvesting. Remove weak and untrained branches. When not producing, cut off small canes. Remove the smallest, ineffective canes from all plants in late winter. Ideally, three to six strong, healthy canes will remain after this process. You can apply a few inches of mature compost and/or an organic fertilizer, such as fish emulsion, to promote healthy, productive plants. A homemade, organic raspberry fertilizer might look like:  Organic homemade raspberry fertilizer: 4 parts canola seed meal (or fish meal), 1 part dolomitic lime (to offset acidity in the seed meal), 1 part rock phosphate (or ½ part bone meal), 1 part kelp meal. The berries should be rich in color and come free easily from the plant. Some varieties, however, offer a bit of resistance when being picked. Taste a few berries to determine if they are sweet enough to harvest. As the color darkens, the sugar level increases.  Harvest berries early in the morning when it is still cold outside. This prevents them from smashing as you pick them. Rinse your berries and eat them immediately after harvesting. Though raspberries will keep in the refrigerator for...

Genetics aside, education is a big factor contributing to your IQ. Try reading up on the sciences, such as mathematics and physics. Sciences increase your understanding of the world, which in turn improves comprehension, vocabulary, spatial and mathematical abilities, and logic. You can try MIT OpenCourseware, which offers notes, syllabuses, and tests from over 1800 official MIT courses. You can also go for Coursera, KhanAcademy, or even YouTube. To stave off dementia and to keep your brain churning away at high speeds, make sure to do puzzles and games regularly – which means (in this day and age) more time on the Internet and your phone! Download apps like Lumosity, What Saying, Quiz Up, and other games that get your brain juices flowing. Put down the Candy Crush and spend some time instead improving your IQ! The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Stanford-Binet do not measure intelligence in a single, simple form. Rather, they have a set of problems which measure your ability to process things quickly, understand what you are told, and recognize sequences. Just like that chemistry test you had to take four times in high school to pass, IQ tests aren’t all that different. They have the same basic structure and types of questions over and over. Therefore, the more you take it, the better you’ll do. The tests you can take for free online aren't like the actual tests you might take through a career center or a psychiatrist. If you want your real IQ, you'll have to take the real thing. There is generally a fee, so always try your hardest. When you do the same thing day in and day out, the brain sort of goes on autopilot. It stops taking in stimuli, comfortable in its surroundings. When you have new experiences though, the brain wakes up and takes it all in, revving up for a change. So instead of popping in that DVD tonight, find a museum, a show, or a new place to check out to keep your mental clock ticking wildly. Even just visiting a new place or trying a new food is a good experience. You're widening...

Genetics play a significant part in your risk of developing breast cancer.  Estimates suggest that between 5% and 10% of cancers develop due to genetics. Even though the family history is important, the majority of women that develop breast cancer do not have a family history at all. Depending on your personal family history, your doctor may recommend that you have the blood test to determine if you are carrying the identified genes. The most common genes that have been identified as contributing to breast cancer are called BRCA1 and BRCA2. 45-65% percent of people who inherent these genes develop breast cancer prior to age 70. Ask for a referral. If your doctor is not able to perform the genetic testing, ask your doctor for a referral to a geneticist that can review your family history and make specific recommendations regarding the possible need for the genetic testing. Several variables increase the odds of developing breast cancer that are related to age.  First of all, just aging is considered a risk factor. The older you get, the greater the chance of developing breast cancer. Beginning your period before 12 years of age is a risk factor for breast cancer later in life. Experiencing menopause at an older that average age is considered a risk factor. The average for menopause is about 51 years of age. Some relationships have been established that may increase your risk based on pregnancy.  Women that have never been pregnant are considered to be at an increased risk. Delivering your first child after age 35 is considered to increase your risk of breast cancer. Breast cancer is a complex disease that make it impossible to predict those that will or will not develop it, even when all risk factors are considered. Additional factors that have been identified as contributing to the chance of getting breast cancer include the following:  A personal history of breast cancer. Radiation treatment or exposure to the chest area as a child or young adult. Having dense breast tissue. A certain kind of hormonal...

Genogram templates are available online or you can start from scratch and fill one out by hand. You can also purchase software programs designed specifically for creating genograms. The symbols act as a visual indicator of the information you gathered in your interviews. You can draw the standard genogram symbols by hand or by using the "draw" or "shapes" options in a word processing program.  Males are indicated by a square. When indicating a marriage, position the male symbol to the left. Women are indicated by a circle. When indicating a marriage, position the female symbol to the right. A single horizontal line indicates marriage and two slanted lines separation. The oldest child is always below and to the left of his family, whereas the youngest should be below and to the right. Other available symbols help you describe family events such as pregnancy or miscarriage, illnesses and deaths. There is even a diamond symbol to represent pets. For example, you may decide to start your genogram with your grandparents or even your great grandparents. Genograms can be used to show the diversity in family relationships as well as patterns of illnesses.  A genogram includes symbols to indicate family interactions such as conflict, closeness, estrangement, etc. Emotional relationships have specific symbols that help keep the flow of the genogram clear. There are also symbols that denote sexual and physical abuse as well as mental and physical disorders. Once you've made the genogram, look carefully to see what patterns can be identified. There may be hereditary patterns or particular psychological tendencies that are very noticeable when grouped together in this way.  Be careful about making assumptions. The data is one thing, but avoid using it to confirm that your family has a particular disease, or mental issue. Talk to a medical professional about any potential for hereditary problems of this type. Avoid using the genogram to make assumptions about the motivations of family members as well, or using this to...

Gently apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly over your upper lash line using clean fingers or a cotton swab. You can apply it before bed, if desired, and sleep with it on, or you can apply the petroleum jelly during the day. Petroleum jelly coats and seals each eyelash, protecting the lashes from drying agents and other harmful substances in the air. As a result, your lashes stay moisturized more effectively, thereby growing out to be stronger and healthier. There are a few different oils frequently suggested, but each one works the same way by providing a protective coat over each lash, thereby blocking out drying agents or other harmful airborne debris. Oils are a natural eyelash conditioner.  Olive oil, vitamin E oil, castor oil, and emu oil rank highest on the list of recommended oils because of the nutrients they contain. Carefully dab a small amount of oil along the upper lash line using a cotton swab. If applying before bed, let them dry slightly before you go to sleep. Egg whites are packed with protein. Some people wash their hair with an egg white treatment regularly, and to the same end, you can use egg whites on your eyelashes to fortify and strengthen them.  Mix one separated egg white with equal parts castor oil. Use a lash brush or cotton swab to apply roughly two drops of this mixture to the right and left upper lash lines. Do not apply the egg whites to your lashes without the castor oil. Using just egg whites may cause your lashes to become brittle. Applying a commercial lash conditioner or accelerator on a daily basis can cause your lashes to look longer and healthier in only a few weeks' time. The specific ingredients found in these products vary depending on the brand, but they often include things like peptides, vitamins, and aloe, or other nutrients that can help your lashes becomes stronger and longer.

Gently bring your orchid to its new pot and place the roots inside. Make sure the plant sits in the new pot at the same depth as it did in the old one, or so that the lowest leaf’s base is a half-inch (1.3 cm) lower than the pot’s rim. If your orchid is sitting too low, remove the plant and add a layer of medium to the bottom of the pot.  For orchids with pseudobulbs, position the orchid so the pseudobulb is at the edge of the pot. For orchids growing from a single major stem, position the orchid in the center of the pot. Sprinkle the growing medium into the pot, and use your fingers to gently press the medium in and around the roots. Add enough medium so that it comes up to the base of the orchid.  When you’ve added all the medium and packed it loosely around the roots, carefully tilt the pot from side to side to make sure the orchid doesn’t flop around. If it does, pack in a bit more medium.  To settle the medium in place, pick up the pot and gently tap the bottom against a flat surface a couple times. Spray the orchid with water for three weeks, but only after the roots begin to grow. Once the orchid is settled in its new pot, add enough water to soak the medium thoroughly. Over the next few weeks, you may have to water the orchid more frequently until the medium is able to absorb and retain more moisture.  Once the orchid is fully established, water it every two weeks or so, when the medium becomes dry to the touch. Make sure that you fertilize your orchid once per week using a weak 20-20-20 fertilizer solution. Orchids can easily become top heavy if they have a lot of flowers that bloom at once. Prevent them from slumping over by attaching the plant to a stake.  Insert a thin bamboo stake into the center of the pot. Gently tie the main stem to the stake with soft string. Tie the plant at the middle and near the top. To reduce the plant’s stress from being repotted, move it somewhere that gets filtered sun only. Keep it out of full and direct sunlight for about a week. To provide more humidity, mist the...

Gently carry your cat to your dosing area (i.e. the towel) and make sure your voice is soothing, happy, and relaxed. Place the cat in the middle of the towel, facing you. At this point, you will need to ensure that the cat cannot wiggle or escape during the dosing.  If your cat is very placid, it may be sufficient to hold it. If you have an assistant, he or she should place a hand on each of the cat's shoulders and gently grips the cat's upper forelegs. This keeps the cat still and stops it from lifting a front paw to scratch.  You or the assistant can also cuddle the cat to your chest or stomach, to stop the cat backing away or wriggling sideways.  If your cat is wiggly or likely to scratch you, you'll need to wrap the cat in the towel. Wrap your feline snugly, with just its head protruding. A snug fit around the neck ensures the claws are safely contained inside and cannot scratch you.  To do this, fold one half of the towel over the cat's back and repeat with the opposite half so that the cat is contained within the towel. Take up any slack in the towel around its neck, so that its front legs are pinned against its body and contained within the towel. If you have an assistant, have him or her put their hands on the outside of the towel, over the cat's shoulders, to steady the animal. Form an inverted "C" shape with the forefinger and thumb of your left hand. Place this upside-down C over the cat's head. Your fingertip and thumb should be resting on either side of the corner of its mouth, with your palm resting on the cat's forehead. Gently press inwards with the fingertip and thumb, pressing the cat's upper lips over its upper cheek teeth (the molars).  If you are left-handed, use your right hand to open the cat's mouth so your left hand is free to administer the medication. This approach forces the cat to open its mouth slightly in order to avoid biting its own lip, while also minimizing the likelihood that you will be bitten. Once the cat has opened its mouth a little, angle its head upwards towards the...

Gently hang an open book over a railing or on a clothesline outside for a few hours to a day. This should cause the smell to decrease. Make sure that you choose a shaded spot since sunlight can bleach the pages. Place the smelly book in a resealable plastic container and cover it with new, fresh potpourri for a day or so. The smoke smell should be replaced by the smell of the potpourri.  You may need to replace the potpourri after a day and continue sealing the book up with fresh potpourri for several days after that. Get rid of the potpourri when done. Shove four to five dryer sheets in between the pages at even intervals and seal in a plastic bag. Let sit for a few days before removing. Both scented and non-scented sheets should effectively absorb the smell. Place the book or paper product in a resealable plastic bag or container and cover with a handful of cedar chips or roughly 1 qt (1 L) of charcoal. Use activated charcoal, not charcoal briquettes.  This should neutralize and mask the smoke smell after a few days.  Cedar chips and activated charcoal can be purchased at pet stores, aquarium shops and hardware stores. Cedar chips may leave behind strong odors of their own when finished, but these odors are usually capable of warding away the smoke smell. Activated charcoal absorbs the odors without leaving its own smell.  Put it in a cloth bag or wrap it in cheesecloth to keep the book clean.  It doesn't have to touch the book to absorb those nasty odors. Place the book in a plastic bag or container and sprinkle with a decent dusting of baking soda. After two or three days, gently remove the baking soda using a vacuum cleaner. Baking soda is one of the best tricks you can use to neutralize the odor since it has no smell of its own to mask the smoke smell with.

Gently massaging a clean (sanitized) finger back and forth or in small circles over your tender gums can provide temporary relief. Be careful not to rub too hard because you could disrupt or damage the pericoronal flap and trigger more irritation, swelling and/or bleeding. If you can tolerate it, use a small ice cube to combat inflammation and dull the pain. The ice will feel shockingly cold initially, but the tissue around the erupting wisdom tooth should get numb within five or so minutes. You can use ice three to five times daily or as needed to deal with tenderness.  Make sure to trim your fingernails and sanitize your finger with alcohol wipes in order to prevent transferring bacteria onto your gums. You can make an infected wisdom tooth worse if you don't practice good hygiene. Ask your dentist if he can recommend a desensitizing cream or ointment that you can massage into your inflamed gums. Using cold compresses and sucking on frozen treats (Popsicle, sorbet or ice cream) may also help soothe tender gums. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is a good anti-inflammatory that can combat pain and swelling associated with a symptomatic wisdom tooth. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a good painkiller and a strong antipyretic, which means it can fight a fever, but it doesn't impact inflammation. The maximum daily dosage of ibuprofen and acetaminophen for adults is about 3,000 mg, but always read the directions that come with medications.  Taking too much ibuprofen (or taking it for too long) can irritate and damage the stomach and kidneys, so take the medication with food. Taking too much acetaminophen is toxic and damaging to the liver. Alcohol should never be combined with acetaminophen. Using an antiseptic or antibacterial mouthwash can help treat or prevent infections and pain in the gums and teeth. Mouthwashes with chlorhexidine, for example, can help to both relieve swelling and pain, and keep your mouth free of infection. Ask your dentist or pharmacist for OTC recommendations. Whichever brand you choose, hold it in...

Gently place this on your face and let it sit for one to two minutes. This will open your pores and prepare the skin on your face for exfoliation. Exfoliation is one of the most effective means to get rid of dead skin. Be careful that you use a warm and not scalding hot towel. After using the warm towel, the next step is to wash your face using a mild cleanser (such as Cetaphil) — the same as the one you likely already use on a daily basis as part of good skin care. Cleaning your skin can further help to open the pores and better prepare the skin on your face for effective exfoliation.  After washing, gently pat your skin with a dry towel. Be gentle and do not rub too vigorously, to avoid causing any damage to your skin. You may try standing in front of a fan to dry your body, especially hard to reach areas. There are two types of exfoliation: physical, and chemical. Physical exfoliation is when you physically use a product that scrapes away dead skin cells by the pressure exerted upon them. Examples of tools for physical exfoliation include exfoliating pads and microdermabrasion kits.  Skin-care professionals do not recommend microdermabrasion without the consultation of a doctor or dermatologist first, as you could damage or irritate your skin. Skin-care companies such as L'Oreal, Ponds, Clinique, and Neutrogena are now producing at-home microdermabrasion kits. These generally consist of an abrasive cream or scrub with a special tool for application.  Sometimes they come with a microdermabrasion cloth with fibres that are rougher than normal and meant to remove dead skin cells.  An example is Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion and Peel System. There is a variety of chemical exfoliating products available. Your best bet is to consult a professional in aesthetics or a dermatologist for advice in choosing the right product for you. If you are unable to afford a professional consultation, carefully read the labels of the products and choose one that is suited to your skin type.  After washing your face and...

Gently wash the site with mild soap and water. Then, apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to minimize any reaction you might have. For a more natural treatment, you can mix baking soda and water until it forms a thick paste. Spread this over the sting site. If you don't have hydrocortisone on hand, spread pure honey over the sting site. Place gauze or a small cloth over it and let it sit for up to an hour before rinsing off. Toothpaste is another natural alternative to neutralize the venom of a bee sting. Simply dab a little toothpaste over the sting site, place gauze or a small cloth over it, and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Then, rinse the toothpaste off. This will help relieve some of the pain. Be sure to follow the package instructions regarding dosage. For children, consult with your pediatrician for appropriate dosing of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. This may reduce the severity of a reaction. You can take something like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or apply calamine lotion to reduce itchiness.

Genuine silver jewelry or silverware will be stamped with the number 800 or 925 or a promise that the silver is sterling (e.g., "Ster," "Sterling" or "Stg"). If you cannot find an identifying mark on your silver, here are three tests you can perform if you're trying to tell real silver from fake silver.    Real silver rings. Either flick a silver coin into the air or tap it with another coin to produce a sound. The sound you should hear with silver is a ringing sound, high-pitched and bell-like. If you flip a 1932-1964 quarter (90% silver) and a post-1964 quarter (90% copper), you should hear the difference immediately.  Real silver melts ice. Place an ice cube on a block of silver or a silver coin and watch the ice cube melt faster than it would if it were merely left out at room temperature. Silver melts ice quickly because it has very high thermal conductivity. In other words, ice "sucks" the heat out of silver.  Real silver isn't magnetic. Get a rare-earth neodymium magnet. Tilt a silver bar at a 45° downward slope, and let the neodymium magnet slide down the bar. On real silver the magnet will make a slow descent down the bar. On non-silver materials, it will either stick to the top of the bar or slide down very quickly. Many people have broken or damaged silver jewelry that they’d be happy to sell at a reasonable price. Some may even give you things for free. Use Craigslist, your local newspaper, or even your local radio station to make it known that you’re interesting in buying scrap silver. Ask around in the community before taking the first deal you see. (Online testimonials should be viewed with skepticism.) If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Using the US Mint's list of recommended dealers is a good starting point. Look at online auctions, garage sales, flea markets, thrift shops, and consignment stores. Online auctions will generally have higher prices, but the trustworthy ones will also have ways for you to verify that what you’re purchasing is actually silver. You can sometimes...

German Shepherds are not necessarily any different than other dogs when it comes to training. If your dog does not know simple commands, such as sit and heel, then start with those. It is important to begin training by building trust between you and your dog. Keep training sessions happy and short and give the dog a break in between lessons for play and a drink. Food is a powerful motivator for most dogs. Other dogs, particularly those with a high prey drive, respond well to toys as a reward. Either way, praise, in addition to a reward that is valuable to your dog, is used to communicate to your dog that they have performed well.  The timing of the reward is extremely important. Your praise and reward will need to come within two to three seconds of the behavior you are reinforcing. If the dog does something else in between the desired behavior and the reward, you are rewarding the last thing that the dog performed. For instance, if you want to teach the “sit” command, the praise and treat should be delivered when the dog is sitting with all feet on the ground. If you deliver the praise/treat with one paw up or as the dog starts getting up, you have just rewarded the dog for that most recent behavior.  Treats should be small and tasty. Consider three types: Low, medium and high value treats. Keep these in your arsenal to help your dog learn commands. When they first learn a new command, you may need medium or high value to treats to start them off and treat for every success. As they understand the command more, start adding in lower value treats intermittently. You can always go back to high value treats at any time you want to let the dog know they did something exceptionally great and you want them to remember that so you get that behavior again and again. Gradually, you will phase out any treat and do more praise reward as the dog gets more consistent. You don’t want to create a dog that will only work for food and ignore you the rest of the time. That could become a dangerous situation. Clicker training...

Get a binder and notebook for each subject.  When everything is made easier, it's less of a task to get your study game face on. Get rid of old papers or assignments unless you think you'll refer back to them. Have your syllabus tucked away nicely but still easily referable, and keep a pen in there for good measure! That goes for your desk and locker, too, no clutter -- really any area you use for studying and being academic. If it's intimidating to even dig through, you definitely won't be sitting down to study. You'll be spending all your time looking for some things! The more accurate statement would be "make smart, focused friends 'and make them to your advantage'." Plenty of your friends are smart, but when's the last time you sat down with them and combined mental powers?   Spend your free time with them -- just watching each other study. Pick up on their better habits. If you have a class together, make time once a week or so to talk about the content -- not about your teacher's phlegm problem or that cute guy who sits in front of you. Sit with them in class, if you weren't already! When your friends' hands shoot up to answer questions, you'll be less inclined to snooze away. Along with that 4.0 group you travel with, find someone who's taken the class already. Lots of teachers recycle tests -- if the person has kept their old ones, double score. It's not cheating at all -- it's being logical. They can also tell you what the teacher is like and what you could expect. If you go in knowing their tendencies (and maybe even how to butter them up cough-cough) and how they operate, you'll have that much of a leg up even before the first class. This idea has probably been drilled into you since kindergarten. In order to squeeze the most out of your day -- to study, play basketball, practice the violin, eat right, stay hydrated and sleep (yes, those last three are important) -- you've gotta rock the time management skills. But...how?  The most basic thing you can do is to create and follow a schedule. Make...

Get a bowl of warm to hot water and place both of your feet in it. Let them soak for five to 10 minutes before exfoliating. This will loosen calluses and prepare for the best results.  You can add some extra virgin olive oil to the water to increase the softening of your calluses. After soaking them, pat your feet dry with a towel. Take a brush (you can buy a physical exfoliation brush at a cosmetics store) and rub it in gentle circular motions along the bottom of your foot. Focus particularly on the heel, and on other areas of hard or dead skin; this is an effective way to get rid of loose and/or dead skin. Alternatives to using a brush include a foot file, or the Ped-Egg product that has been marketed as an effective means of physically exfoliating your feet. You can also try an exfoliation cream designed specifically for your feet. If there are dead areas of skin of particular toughness, such as calluses, a pumice stone is an efficient way to shave them down and get rid of the dead skin. Be sure to wash the pumice stone after use and to let it air dry before your next use. After exfoliating, using a moisturizing agent can help to ensure optimum protection for the new skin and will keep it healthier for longer. Put socks over the moisturizing agent to not slip while walking. If you do not want to do this yourself, you can always get a pedicure.  During the pedicure they will soak your feet and trim your nails. Some only use a microdermabrasion to work on the hard spots while other will use a razor blade to shave off dead skin. They can also work on any calluses you have on your feet.

Get a dropper and fill it up with white vinegar. Hold your metal object firmly in your hand or set it on a table. Place a few drops of vinegar onto the object. If the drops change the color of the metal, then it is not pure gold. If the color stays the same, then it is pure gold. Position a black jeweler’s stone on a table. Hold your gold piece firmly in your hand. Wipe it across the stone firmly enough to leave a mark. If the mark that you’ve left on the stone is solid and gold in color, then the piece is pure. If there is no line or only a faint one, then the piece is likely plated or not gold at all. Be careful with this method as you run the risk of damaging your jewelry. You also have to use the right type of stone or the marks will be meaningless. You can get a jeweler’s stone through a jewelry supply store online or by talking with your local jeweler. Set an unglazed ceramic plate firmly on a countertop or table. Hold your gold item in your hand. Scrape the item against the plate. Watch to see if a streak or line of any type appears. A black line indicates that the item is not gold or is plated. Coat the top of your hand with a thin layer of liquid foundation. Wait until the foundation is dry. Press your metal item against the foundation and rub. Authentic pure gold will leave a line in the makeup. If you do not see a line, then the object is plated or another metal. This is a small hand-held device with a probe at the end that you can buy online or through a jewelry supply store. To analyze a metal, you rub a conductive “tester” gel on to the metal item. This gel is usually available for purchase from the same places that sell testing devices. After you’ve applied the gel, rub the probe against the item. How the metal responds to the electricity will indicate whether or not it is pure metal. Use the instructions that come with your tester to determine the exact results. Gold is a conductive metal, so a pure gold piece will have higher readings than a plated one. This is a machine that many jewelers...

Get a group of your friends together, or find a day when your family can all go out for a morning to a nearby park. Take a few large trash bags and some gardening gloves with you. Start at the parking lot, and follow every path in the park, picking up every piece of trash you find. Within a few hours, your park will be spotless!  If you see trash off the path, don't hesitate – go and grab it. If it's hard to reach, find a stick and try to knock and drag it closer. This doesn't sound like that much fun when you read it, but actually doing it is a great experience. In fact, you might like it so much that you want to set up a regular event once or twice a year to go back and clean it again. If you ask teachers and look at the local news, you'll probably find that there are other groups of people doing cleanup operations similar to your park project. In almost all cases, these people are happy to have kids and families join up. You might get to clean up a beach, a campground, or a pretty mountain trail when you go out with a bigger crew. You'll also get the thrill of being part of a bigger movement. Whether you like to plant trees, clean up trails, or even just spread the word about environmental change in your hometown, there's probably a local group of people who are interested in doing the same thing. Reach out to them and ask how you can help. If there isn't such a group, why not talk to your parents or school about making one yourself? You're never too young to make a difference, after all. That's just as true out in public as it is in your own living room.  If you know friends who are just as interested as you, have them all sign a piece of paper saying they're interested, and then take it to your principal. Knowing that a lot of people want to help will make the principal more likely to consider your request. One program that many schools can do but few schools take advantage of is a composting program. Composting reduces waste by separating food scraps and yard debris and allowing it to decompose and turn...

Get a large, rimmed baking sheet out for the cashews. You do not need to line or coat the baking sheet in this method; however, if you’re concerned about the cashews sticking, you can line it with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Avoid using oil or nonstick cooking spray since these may impact the cooking process and final flavor. A single, even layer will promote even cooking. Try to avoid piling the cashews in multiple layers since they may roast unevenly. Remove them from the oven, then stir to distribute the heat evenly. Depending on your desired level of doneness, you can either stop here or continue roasting the cashews for another 8 to 10 minutes, stopping to stir after four minute intervals. Roasting the cashews for only five minutes will warm them up without impacting the taste and texture much; roasting them for a total of 12 to 15 minutes will give the nuts a more traditional roasted flavor and crunch. While the cashews roast, combine the rosemary, cayenne, sugar, salt, and butter in a large bowl. Set the bowl aside for now. You may skip the cayenne if you’d prefer roasted nuts without a kick of heat. Once the cashews are roasted to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the oven. Toss them in the rosemary-butter mixture until all nuts are evenly coated. Allow the nuts to cool slightly, for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing occasionally to redistribute the seasoned butter. Serve them immediately once cooled or store them in an airtight container, at room temperature, for up to two weeks. Note that if you only heated the cashews for five minutes instead of the full 12 to 15, you can serve them immediately while warm instead of waiting for them to cool.

Get a light, dark colored swimsuit cover-up and tie it around your waist in a loose knot. Or, put on a sheer cover-up that resembles a beach dress, but is designed to get wet. These looks give the appearance of casual style. They are also far more slimming than a beach towel wrapped around your waist. You can go to a professional and get a spray tan. Or, you can do it yourself with a self-tanning kit. Just make sure that you go just a few shades darker than your natural skin tone. If you get too extreme, you might end up with wrinkly or orange looking skin.  If you are applying a self-tanner, make sure to read the package instructions carefully. You’ll likely need to hold the bottle at an angle to get the best coverage. A custom contour tan works by creating the illusion of shadows and highlights across your body. If you choose to go to a salon and get a professional spray tan, ask the technician for a skin patch test to make sure the color is what you will be happy with and won't turn your skin orange. When you are walking in a swimsuit, keep your shoulders back and your head held high. If you are sitting down, pull your knees toward your chest. This creates the illusion of a slimmer stomach and trimmer thighs. Choose a hat that is an appropriate match for your swimwear. For a bohemian print, you might go with a straw hat. A hat will draw the eye upwards. It will also keep the sun out of your eyes. Even better, put your hair up into a bun or ponytail under your hat. This elongates your neck and makes you look slimmer overall. . Try to work out at least 5 times a week, mixing in both cardio and weight training sessions. This will help to tone your body and make you look slimmer in your suit. It even helps to do a quick 30 minute work-out right before putting on your suit, as your muscles will stay activated for around 5 hours. Hula hooping is a very effective exercise for anyone looking to trim down their middle section prior to wearing a swimsuit. Try to do an hour-long session, 3 times a week. . Eat small...

Get a massage therapist or sympathetic friend to give you a calf and thigh muscle massage as a preventative measure for DVT. Massage reduces muscle tension and promotes better blood and lymph fluid circulation. Start rubbing from the lower calf and progress up to the thigh so you help the venous blood return back to the heart. Begin with a 30-minute massage and go from there. Allow the therapist (or friend) to go as deep as you can tolerate without wincing.  Always drink lots of water immediately following a massage in order to flush out inflammatory by-products and lactic acid from your body. Failure to do so might cause a headache or mild nausea. If you have an acute, symptomatic DVT (swollen and tender), then a deep tissue massage might be contraindicated, so talk with your doctor. Acupuncture involves sticking very thin needles into specific energy points within the skin / muscle in efforts to reduce pain and inflammation, and promote better circulation. Acupuncture for reducing the risks of circulatory issues in the leg may be effective, although it's not commonly recommended by medical doctors. Based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by releasing a variety of substances including endorphins and serotonin, which act to reduce discomfort.  Acupuncture points that may help your leg symptoms are not all located near in your leg — some can be in distant parts of the body. Acupuncture is practiced by a variety of health professionals including some physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists and massage therapists — whoever you choose should be certified by NCCAOM. An interesting alternative option for potentially reducing the risk of circulatory problems developing in the legs is vibration therapy. By placing your feet on or in a vibrational device, multiple small contractions occur deep within the calf and thigh muscles, which help to push the blood through all the small veins. Vibrating frequencies also seem to relax and strengthen musculature while...

Get a small container and fill it with a little bit of powdered non-bleach laundry detergent. You don’t need a lot, only enough to spread over the sap stain. Start with a teaspoon of the powder and combine it with an equal amount of water. Stir the ingredients together to create a paste. Transfer the paste and spread it over the area you wish to clean. This can quickly be done with your stirring spoon or another object, such as a sponge or rag. Leave the paste alone and it’ll begin breaking up the sap. Since it doesn’t have bleach in it, it won’t damage the clothing. Non-sudsy ammonia is the clear, colorless ammonia you’ll often see at general stores. Spread a few drops of it over a stubborn stain. This is optional and can also be done for a stain that remains after a wash cycle. Throw the clothing in the washing machine. Put it through a cycle using your normal detergent. Warm water is safe to use on most clothing, but increase the temperature if the fabric can handle it. Now your clothing will be stain-free until the next time you lean up against the wrong tree.

Get all the administrivia out of the way pretty early on.  Touch up your resume or spruce up your CV. Bone up on how to write a cover letter if you need to. Begin diplomatically soliciting letters of recommendation from people who know you well and are positively disposed to saying something nice about you. Other things to think about:  Learn how to interview well and form excellent interview questions  Learn how to protect your online reputation  Sort out your elevator pitch if you haven't already . Networking is probably the single most important step in your new job search. That's because referrals and personal connections (and, let's face it, nepotism) make up the bulk of how people land jobs these days. Why? Referred candidates tend to perform better than random hires and stay on the job longer. So the next time you drag yourself to a networking event when you know you could be sitting at home in your PJs eating ice cream, tell yourself it's for your new, unrealized job.  Remember that people hire people, not resumes. Making an impression in a face to face human exchange is extremely important. People hire people that they like, not necessarily those with the best resume or even qualifications. Networking can seem pretty daunting, especially for introverts. The most important things to remember are that the other person is probably nervous, too, and that no one thinks about you as much as you think about yourself. If you mess up, no biggie; just brush it off! They're probably thinking about themselves, not about you. Say you want to switch jobs and become a parole officer, for example. Well, try to find someone (a friend of a friend will do) who's a parole officer and ask them out to lunch for an informational interview. It might even be a good idea to talk to a warden and ask them the qualities of a good parole officer, for example. More often that you might guess, informational interviews lead directly or indirectly to job offers. During your informational interview, ask them questions about their...

Get as much hair out of the brush or comb first by simply picking it out with your fingers. Hair should come out fairly easily, so try to be as thorough as possible. If you encounter any hair that's stuck on, use a toothpick to loosen it and then remove it with your fingers. You may even be able to purchase tools designed to remove hair from your brush. Alternatively, you can also try using a hair pik or the end of a rat tail comb. You do not need to use strong cleaners on a hair or brush. A mild cleaner, such as dish soap or shampoo, works great. Add a small dab of your cleaner to a small bowl of warm water. There are no precise amounts that are recommended, but you usually do not need an excessive amount of cleaner to clean a brush or comb. First, soak your brush in the cleaner for about 15 minutes to help loosen any stuck on material. Then, get an unused toothbrush damp with the cleaner and gently swab down the brush or comb between the bristles. You should also swab down the sides of the brush, as these make contact with your hair and build up residue over time. If you have a brush with a wooden handle, avoid getting the sides wet, however. Water can damage wood. Once you've given the brush or comb a good scrubbing, you should rinse out your cleaner. Rinse out the brush under the faucet using hot water until the water runs clean. Let the brush or comb air dry after cleaning it. If you're in a hurry, you can also pat it dry with a paper towel or rag or use a hair dryer on medium heat a few inches away from it.

Get excellent grades in every subject. All of them. Every single one. Astronauts are a smart breed. Math and science are most important, but English, history, and foreign relations have their places, too. It's best to be as well-rounded as possible. Not only for you, but also because the competition will be fierce. You'll be going up against the cream of the crop. Alright, so you don't have the power to stop time. Since you're not a machine, concentrate on math and science -- you'll be dealing with those for at least the next decade of your career training. A bachelor's degree in math, physics, engineering, or science from a reputable (accredited) school is required. Don't get distracted by college social life — your grades should be your number one concern. Look into the ROTC programs, especially those of the Air Force and Navy at your college of choice. Your ultimate goal in the military is to be a test pilot because they have the most experience flying experimental aircraft. This can be in the form of professional experience or in the form of a degree. Should you choose to get a degree, know that a master's counts as 1 year of experience and a PhD as 3, regardless of how long it takes you to complete these degrees.  If you have experience in piloting, you must complete at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Be sure you also have flight test experience. Should you choose to simply get professional experience, get a job related to something an astronaut would have to do. Examples include navigation, piloting, working with computers, chemistry/biology, or commanding a ship. You should also note that teaching is an important part of being an astronaut, and thus teachers (both college and K-12) are encouraged to apply.

Get in the habit of rinsing your razor blades after each use. This will keep skin and hair particles, soap scum and other debris from building up in the first place.   Consistent cleaning will go a long way in extending a razor’s lifespan, even if it’s of the disposable variety. Once a week or so, disinfect your razor by soaking it in rubbing alcohol. The best way to store loose razor blades is in an enclosed case or similar container that shuts securely. If you use the razor to shave, you can rest it on a separate base or stand or position it upright in a cup to allow water to drain out of it. Keep the blade ventilated until it's dry, then put it away where it won't become damaged or cause an accident.  Don’t leave your razor sitting on the edge of the sink or on the alcove in a dingy shower, where they’ll be in direct contact with soap scum and bacteria. These places also tend to be more humid, which increases the likelihood of rusty blades.

Get into your comfiest pajamas and wrap yourself in your softest robe. Sit in your favorite chair and pick up that book you’ve been halfway through for the last three months and finally let yourself relax and read. If books aren’t really your thing, pick up your favorite magazine, newspaper, or blog and catch up on some lit. When pampering yourself, you don’t have to ask anyone’s opinion on what to watch, or argue with anyone about your pick. Instead, watch the movie you’ve been wanting to watch for ages that keeps getting vetoed by your partner or family. Watch a chick-flick without guilt, or a documentary without being afraid you’re going to bore your friends. This day is all about you after all. . Meditation is about releasing your worries and allowing yourself to mentally decompress. Find a quiet, calm place, sit down, and close your eyes. Focus on your breathing and let your worries float away from you. If meditating isn’t really working, practice some  breathing exercises. These can help you to release the tension that has built up in your body and will help you to destress. Thinking about the things that you are really passionate about can often get swept aside in the madness of the present. When pampering yourself, set aside sometime to consider your life and what you hope to attain. Create a bucket list, or revisit a past bucket list that you made and consider how your goals have changed (if, indeed, they have). Look in the mirror and list everything about yourself that you love. Tell yourself that you are amazing, and that you deserve to be loved. Think of the things you have accomplished, and the experiences you have had. At the same time, consider the things you would like to improve, without thinking negatively about those things. For example, instead of thinking ‘I suck at managing my time”, tell yourself, “I am going to work harder to manage my time well”, and go buy yourself a fantastic organizer.

Get out 10.5 ounces (300 g) of uncooked spaghetti noodles and break them into thirds. They should easily fit into a microwave-safe bowl without sticking out. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil to the dry noodles and stir until they're all coated. Then pour in enough boiling water to cover the noodles by at least 2 inches (5.1 cm). Mixing the noodles with oil will prevent them from clumping together as they cook in the microwave. Put a lid on the dish or cover it with plastic wrap. Set the dish in the microwave and heat the pasta on full power for 8 minutes. Stop and stir the noodles once they're halfway cooked. Use caution when you stir the spaghetti since the dish will be hot. Once the spaghetti has rested for a few minutes, test a few noodles to see if they're as soft as you like. If they're too firm for you, return the noodles to the microwave and cook them for 2 more minutes. Set a colander in the sink and slowly pour the cooked spaghetti into it. The hot water should drain into the sink. Then serve the hot spaghetti with your choice of sauce. To store leftover spaghetti noodles, put them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 to 5 days.

Get out a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish and spray it with cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking. Set the dish aside while you prepare the fish. If you don't have cooking spray, brush a little melted butter or olive oil over the bottom of the dish. Place 1/4 cup (56 g) of unsalted butter into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds so it melts. Remove it from the microwave and whisk in 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the zest from 1 lemon. Remove 4 tilapia fillets from the freezer and sprinkle them with salt and ground pepper to taste. Lay the fish in the prepared baking dish and pour the seasoned butter over it. Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and cook the tilapia until it's completely cooked throughout. To test if the fish is done, drag a fork through the center of a fillet. If the fish is cooked, it should flake easily. If not, return the fish to the oven and bake it for another 5 minutes before checking again. If you want to use fresh or thawed tilapia, reduce the cooking time to 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven and sprinkle it with 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of freshly chopped parsley leaves. Serve the hot fish with extra wedges of lemon, steamed rice, and roasted vegetables. Store the leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Get out a clean 1-ounce (30-ml) spray bottle and pour 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of rosewater and 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of witch hazel into it. Add 9 drops of your favorite essential oil (such as tea tree, lavender, or geranium) and screw the lid on. Shake the bottle to combine the toner. Spray it on your skin or spray it onto a cotton pad that you can brush over your face.  You can use a combination of different essential oils. For example, try 4 drops of geranium and 5 drops of tea tree oil. To remove makeup or dirt left after washing your face, apply a sparing amount of essential oil to a cotton ball and wipe it gently over your face and throat. Take 2 clean cotton rounds and dip them in witch hazel or your infused witch hazel. Close your eyes and lay them on the puffy skin under your eyes. Let the rounds sit on your skin for 3 to 5 minutes and remove them. The witch hazel should tighten your skin and reduce the puffiness. Squirt a quarter-sized amount of aloe vera gel into the palm of your hand. Add a 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) of witch hazel or infused witch hazel and stir it together using your fingertip. Spread the witch hazel aloe vera gel over the sunburned skin on your face and let it dry. Reapply the gel as often as you need to.  Spread a thin layer so the gel can dry. You should feel a cooling sensation on your face once the witch hazel aloe vera gel begins to work. Witch hazel can dry out your skin, so avoid applying it alone to a sunburn. If your skin is breaking out in pimples and zits, dip a cotton ball in witch hazel. Place the cotton ball directly on the blemished area of your skin and hold it there for a few minutes. You can do this 1 to 2 times a day until your acne clears up. Research shows that because it's an astringent and has antibacterial properties, witch hazel can reduce inflammation from acne and eczema. Dip a cotton ball or pad into witch hazel and press it onto any cuts or bruises on your face. Hold the cotton in place for 2 to 3 minutes. The witch hazel will improve drainage in your...

Get out a clean bucket and fill it with water directly from the faucet. Follow the instructions on your water conditioner bottle and pre-treat the water prior to cleaning. The conditioner will make the water safe for your fish by removing dangerous chemicals and metal residue.  Go ahead and keep two plastic buckets, specifically for your aquarium use. You may even want to write “fish” on the side.  Some people prefer to refill their tank using water directly from the tap. This may be more convenient; however, you do risk exposing your fish to hazardous chemicals in the water. To lessen this possibility, let the tap run for 5 minutes or so before filling the bucket. Since you will be working with water around the exterior of the tank, it is best to minimize the presence of electricity. Go ahead and disconnect the tank lid and any attached lighting. Reach into the tank and unplug any exposed heating elements. Many filters don’t do well without full water coverage, so it is a good idea to disconnect your filter as you start the cleaning process. You do not need to clean or replace your filter cartridge, sponge, or other media every time that you clean the tank. Instead, look at it, see how it is holding up, and then run it through cold water or fully replace it, if needed. Replacing your filter too often can have disastrous consequences for your tank by removing the accumulated good bacteria. To counterbalance a filter change, you might want to invest in gravel, or sand, with pre-added bacterial cultures. It is also not necessary to clean your tank accessories as a part of every water change. Doing so can disrupt the good bacteria in your tank too. However, if the artificial items in your tank seem overly slimy or sludgy looking, then you’ll want to gently remove them to a bucket and allow them to soak in a plant cleaning solution.  Never wash your plants and décor in soap. The chemical residue can be harmful to your fish, and it can also cause an outburst of algae in your tank. You can also soak your plants and...

Get out one bunch of carrots. You should have six to eight fresh carrots. Wash them well to remove any dirt and trim off the green ends. Use a sharp knife to slice them into rounds that are about 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. You can discard the leafy ends or save them for a different recipe. Get out a large bowl and fill it with ice water. Set it next to the stove. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add the carrot slices and let them boil for three minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to scoop the carrots directly into the icy water in the bowl next to the stove. Submerging the carrots in the ice water will stop them from cooking and help them keep their bright orange color. Preheat the oven to its lowest setting (about 160 °F (71 °C). Drain the carrots and lay all of the carrot slices on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Leave space between each carrot slice so air can circulate and dry out the carrots. If you have a dehydrator, place the carrot slices in a single layer on the dehydrator tray. Put the sheet of carrots in the low oven and bake them for 9 to 12 hours or until they're dried. If you're using a dehydrator, dehydrate them at 125 °F (52 °C) for 12 to 24 hours. Cool the dehydrated carrots and put them into a powerful blender or food processor. Pour enough oil in the blender to cover the carrots completely. You may need up to 1/2 cup (120 ml) of oil. Consider using a neutral oil such as olive, coconut, sunflower, or sesame oil. Put the lid on the blender or food processor and pulse the mixture on and off for about a minute. The carrots should become roughly ground up and the oil should turn a little orange. Get out a clean four-ounce (120-ml) glass jar. Transfer the carrot and oil mixture into the jar and seal it shut with a tight fitting lid. Place the jar of carrots and oil in a cool, dry place. Leave the carrots to flavor the oil for about four weeks before you begin using the oil. Place a piece of cheesecloth in a small, fine mesh strainer. Set the strainer over...

Get pH testing strips at your local pool store, big-box store, or order them online. Follow the product’s instructions, which are typically dipping the strip into the water and checking its color against the range listed on the product. Some pH test kits require you to fill a small tube with pool water and add drops which change color based on the pH. Record the pH level in a small notebook to track the change over time. The pH of your pool changes frequently due to many causes. This is why it's important to check often. Write the pH down in a notebook to track it as it changes over time. . Test strips change color when exposed to water. The color corresponds to the pH level. Match the color to the package and you’ll find the current pH level. The ideal pH level for a pool is between 7.4 and 7.8. Determine how many points you need to raise the pH. For example, the color of your test strip might show the yellow of a banana. According to your product, this means the pH level is 7.2. You’d want to raise the pH by a minimum of .2 and a maximum of .6.
