Factors like how often you wash your hair and what water temperature you use can affect the length of your hair. That's because washing your hair too often (think every day) and using super hot water will cause it to dry out and become brittle. That leads to hair breakage, preventing your hair from growing long and thick. The solution? Wash your hair no more than 3 times a week, and use the coldest water you can handle.  At first, washing your hair less often might make it look a little greasy. Wear a hat for a few days until your scalp gets used to producing less oil and things balance out. It shouldn't take long! If you hate showering in cold water, try washing your hair in the sink with cold water separately from your regular showers. When you shower, keep your hair wrapped up in a shower cap. Do you towel dry your hair roughly, brush it out, and blow it dry? You're breaking your hair! It won't get the chance to grow long and strong, because you're handling it too roughly while it's wet. Think of your hair like a garment made of good fabric; you wouldn't just throw it in the dryer, you'd carefully lay it out to gently air dry. Treat your hair with the same gentle care. After washing, gently pat it dry with a microfiber towel or t-shirt and let it finish air drying.  Don't brush your hair while it's wet. Wet hair tends to stretch and break more easily than dry hair. If you need to detangle it, apply a conditioning product, such as a leave-in conditioner. Then, use your fingers and a wide-toothed comb to gently work through the tangles. Don't blow dry your hair except for special occasions. Blow drying often really does cause damage in the form of breakage, frizz and split ends, and it's not easy to repair; you just have to wait for fresh hair to grow out. The shampoo and conditioner you use may be contributing to poor hair growth. Most commercial shampoos contain sulfates, which strip your hair of its natural oils and leave it susceptible to damage. Conditioners contain silicones that coat the hair with...

Fades require a barber who knows how to do it. Ideally, this short-cropped hair will gradually fade into nothing as it goes down the neck. You'll need to get it touched up fairly often, at least once a week to keep the look. Again, the common theme here is to suggest wealth: you can afford to get your hair cut every week. Wearing these tight braids in a variety of patterns is a common and iconic gangsta look. Basketball players and suburbanites alike have embraced this method of braiding tight controlled rows of hair close to the scalp. Worn long or short, the cornrow is a classic look. The do-rag originated as a style when African-American men would "conk" their hair in the early 20th century. Conking involved essentially killing the hair with chemicals to straighten out its curls, sometimes resulting in a specifically reddish bleached tint. Malcolm X, for instance, was known as "Detroit Red" as a young man for his usually-conked hair. After the process was completed, which involved a painful process of combing lye into the scalp, the "do" needed to be protected by wearing a "do-rag" around for a couple of days. In this way the rag became popular. Wearing a do-rag generally has no connection to the conk do anymore, though the rag is still common.

Fake boots are taller than real pairs; you might only be able to tell this if you have a real pair to compare them to, so either hold an old pair next to this new pair, or compare images online. Real boots have a 11 ¾ inch (29.845 cm) shaft height, and fake boots can be up to 2 inches (5.08 cm) taller. The opening of your boots should be wide enough to fold down. If the opening is narrow, your UGG boots are most likely imitations. If the font is large and stylized incorrectly, you will know the boots are knockoffs. The threads on the label of fake UGG boots will be mismatched and asymmetrical. The label on fake boots will be wide and sloppily stitched. Real UGG boots are made in China, not in Australia, as many fake boots will claim. This should be displayed clearly on the label. Also check for the registered trademark mark (R) on the boots’ soles.

Fake or impure metals will deteriorate quickly if not using the correct polish.  You can buy polish for either gold or silver items in many jewelry or department stores. Keep in mind that some regular jewelry cleaners, usually meant for the real deal, are too harsh to use on costume pieces. Simply soak the piece of jewelry in the polish for no longer than 30 seconds, then remove and wipe it gently to avoid scraping or bruising the jewelry. You might want to use a toothbrush after dipping it into the solution. Then take a small bowl, and pour the alcohol into it. Soak the jewelry in it for half an hour.  Then take the jewelry out, and wipe off any excess alcohol on it. Leave it out to dry for 15 minutes. If every part isn’t clean, wipe it with an alcohol wipe or repeat the process. You could put your earrings in peroxide, and let them soak at least 2 to 3 minutes. The peroxide might bubble or fizz, which means your earrings are really dirty, and you should probably leave them in longer. If it looks like you are rubbing off more of the finish than the gunk, then stop. You may be scrubbing too hard. Rub gently so you don’t mess up the finish. After applying the mixture and cleaning everything off, immediately rinse the piece off in cool water. Rinse just enough to get the soapy water solution off of the jewelry.  Dry it with a blow dryer. Immediately after you rinse off your jewelry, place it on a towel to soak up any excess water. Blot away excess water with the towel. Then, set your blow dryer to a cool setting, and use your blow dryer to quickly dry the jewelry. Move your blow dryer around the piece to distribute the air. Drying it quickly makes it less likely to rust and develop water spots. Continue drying the jewelry with the blow dryer until it is completely dry.  Try not to hold the blow dryer directly above areas with gemstones for long periods of time especially if you decide to use a warmer setting. You don’t want the heat from blow dryer to melt the glue holding them down.

Faking your death is against the law almost everywhere. Does your situation really warrant a death-fake? Can you just move away? Are you being melodramatic? Are there any alternatives? You should only do this if you keep feeling that faking your own death is the only way to start over or escape, and you have no viable alternatives. Understand the implications of faking your own death. You'll be able to have no contact with any friends or relatives. If you decide to let them in on it, they'll most likely call the police or betray you in the end. If you must let anyone know, try an understanding friend who will - for whatever reason - never rat you out to the police, family or general public. Understand that you cannot use email accounts, memberships, cell-phones, or any other personal details from your old life, after you have faked your own death. This is probably the trickiest of all things to get sorted before you actually do the deed. Since money is necessary to start your new life, gradually withdraw cash from an account leading up to your fake death, and leave behind things like credit cards and other documents. Clearing it completely may arouse suspicion. However, if you're in a hurry, draw out a massive amount, but leave a little behind to erase suspicion. Avoiding acting fishy beforehand. Also, remember not to use personal laptops, computers or mobile phones (unless you can change the sim card) afterwards; these can be used to trace you once you're gone. Plus, people might notice that they're missing. Suicide is probably the easiest bet. While it may be hard for loved ones to stomach, if it's obvious your "death" is a suicide, innocent people won't be accused of your "murder". Also, suicide is a more open and shut case: chances are, people will be less searching of CCTV footage and personal records etc if they know you "killed" yourself, rather than mysteriously disappearing.  Pick a "suicide method" that means there is no body to be found, or failing that, where it would be very difficult to find. A...

Fall is one of the best times, it seems, to look for a job. More companies seem to hire in fall, which may have to do with using the unspent money in their annual funds. Whatever the reason, this is a good time to really start getting your resumes out there.  Obviously, pay attention to seasonal jobs, which usually start hiring before the holidays (November and early December). These can be a good way to get your foot in the door for a more permanent job later on, especially if you prove that you're a good investment. Both retail and food service often have seasonal jobs in the winter and the summer. You can find good outdoor jobs in the summer, too (make sure to start look in late winter/early spring). Different jobs may have some different hiring spikes. For example: teachers seem to have hiring spikes in March, November, December and September (the start and end of the school year). On the other hand May and January seem to provide opportunities for folks looking to work in healthcare. You need to find the ways to imprint yourself on the person or people who might potentially hire you. To do that you need to make sure that you show what unique combination of qualities and experience make you to best suited for a job.  Personalize your cover letters, resumes, and interviews to the specific company that's looking into hiring you. Generic and vague cover letters will make the interviewer less interested in you. Remember, you're trying to answer why this company, why this job, and why you. Having specific answers to those questions will go a long way towards making the company interested in you. Again, use the rule of three. People tend to limit themselves (not on purpose) to remembering only three things about whatever person they met, movie they watched, etc. Stick to having three qualities that you're looking to push home and find ways to reiterate those qualities throughout your cover letter, your resume and your interview. Give specific examples of these qualities throughout your job seeking material....

False accusations that are published in print or online are called "libel," while false accusations on television, radio, or in conversation are "slander." Consult a lawyer if you can afford to do so: under certain circumstances, you can bring a defamation case against the person falsely accusing you. Not all false accusations count as defamation. If you are not fully identified, if your character has already come under public scrutiny, if you have made statements that support the false claims, if you are a public figure, or if the person defaming you is a former employer or other protected party, your case may not qualify as defamation in every state. If it is safe for you to do so, providing the public with another side to the story can either kill the story or turn it in your favor. Contact reporters and publishers who are carrying the story and ask them to either remove the false accusations or broadcast your refutation. If you are accused of a crime, consult with a lawyer before making statements on record. The less you respond, the better. Once you have consulted a lawyer or, in less serious cases, made a public statement, you have done as much as you can. If you continue to respond to every instance of slander related to the case, you risk re-invigorating the story. After the story has died down, search your name online to see what comes up. If the false accusations are still one of the first results, take the time to put positive information about yourself online. Write some articles or make videos that are unrelated to the false accusations. Make a website about things you enjoy, or update your professional profiles. Share your new, positive content with friends and family to boost its position among search results

False lashes don’t have to be tossed after a single use; if you clean and store them safely, they can be reworn a few more times depending on their condition. If your lashes aren’t missing any sections, are not bent along the lash line, and are generally clean and well-kept, you can clean them and save them for a future date. Get out a small bowl or cup, and fill it with ½ inch to 1-inch of oil-free liquid makeup remover. The makeup remover will dissolve any mascara or eye product on your false lashes, preparing them for the next use. Place the now-clean lashes on a dry tissue or towel, and leave them there to air-dry for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are dry. You may pat them gently with a tissue to absorb some of the excess water, if they are drying too slowly. Never put your lashes away wet, as they can mold. Keep your lashes out of your regular makeup bag where they might get bumped around, and put them in a place where they won’t become damaged. If you have the original case the lashes came in, put them back in that for storage. Otherwise, place the lashes in a small bag or small container, and store them in a dry area until their next use.

Fan out the tulle with your fingers, positioning the layers of each bunch so that it covers as much area as possible. Continue picking at and fluffing the tulle bunches until you no longer notice any empty gaps. The outfit should look as "bunched up" or "fluffy" as a shower loofah when done. Cut a length of white cord or rope that can fit around your neck and down to the top of the costume. Attach the rope to the top of your mini-dress, your bust band, or the top layer of tulle bunching. Use safety pins to attach the rope. You could also attach it using a hot glue gun or a needle and thread. To give yourself a "wet" appearance, spray a coat of glitter spray over your arms and legs. Also spray some along your shoulders and neck.  If it is safe to use the spray on your face, apply a little to your face. This part of the costume is only optional, but it will contribute to the shower-like or bath-like appearance. Hair gel will make your hair look wet, while a shower cap reinforces the shower theme. If using hair gel, wet your entire hair with the gel. Cheap gel is actually preferable because it will make your hair look wetter. Complete the costume by wearing mesh shower slippers, plastic flip-flops, or plastic crocs.

Fashion trends come and go, and what's popular this season may be out of favor within a month or two. Keeping on top of the latest fashion trends can be very expensive and could deprive you of a more permanent wardrobe. Instead of worrying about what's hot at the moment, choose classics that never go out of style.  If you like button-downs or polo shirts wear them, as they are always fashionable. Ignore trendy takes on classics, like ripped jeans or fringe jackets. Those lose favor very quickly, and tend to cost a lot of money. A fitted pant leg will look much more dressy, confident, and attractive than a baggy pant leg. Whether you're choosing a pair of khakis for work or jeans for a night out, go for a more fitted style to get a more appealing look. No matter what occasion you're dressing for, having some basic dress clothes will help you look stylish and feel confident. You don't need to break the bank, either. Look for sales and discontinued items, or simply add one piece of clothing at a time to your wardrobe. Your wardrobe should include::  One solid suit, either black or dark charcoal - opt for a single-breasted jacket with either two or three buttons for a classic look Dress pants - choose either khaki or dark charcoal to easily coordinate with other parts of your wardrobe A tie - go for medium-width in a solid color Dress shoes - try to match your shoes with your belt and your suit color (black or brown are both popular choices)

Fat is just stored food; in other words, it's fuel for your body. Carbohydrates are your primary outside source of fuel, and your body can burn either carbs or fat just the same.  So as long as you feed your body carbohydrates, it will not burn fat.  However, cutting carbs alone may not help you shed fat, unless you are also cutting your overall calories as part of the process. Remember that all carbs are not created equal (e.g., refined sugar and whole grains). There are okay carbs for you (the slow-burning kind like oatmeal and the ones in veggies); the bad ones are the simple sugars (think white things and candies). Protein and carbs contain roughly the same amount of calories per gram, but protein is not a preferred fuel like carbs. The protein is used as building blocks for muscle in your body and won't turn to fat. So make lean meats, fish, and soy a regular part of your diet.  When you're packing on protein and saying no to carbs, your brain will send signals, which you interpret as hunger, before switching to ketosis (i.e., fat burning). After that, your hunger pangs should subside. Eating a lot of protein is hard on the liver and kidneys, and there are other considerations for "keto dieting." It is not advised to consume zero carbs; just limit them, and stick to the good ones. Alcohol is full of empty calories (that is, bad carbs), and when you consume some, it's hard not to consume more. So while it's tempting to join in socially, refrain — or at least severely restrict yourself. After all, excessive drinking can make fat burning the least of your worries! If you absolutely must drink alcohol, keep it to one drink if you're a woman or two if you're a man. But that should only be a once-in-a-while thing, for the sake of your fat burning goals. Some studies have shown that 25 ounces of green tea or 16 ounces of coffee can spur an increase in your metabolism. Just make sure you don't load up your cup with spoonfuls of sugar. Green tea and coffee seem to offer a wide range of possible health benefits,...

Fatigue can be the sign of many different illnesses, but it's a symptom experienced by many people with HIV. This symptom shouldn't cause great alarm if it's the only one you're feeling, but it's something to look into further.  Acute fatigue isn't the same as simply feeling sleepy. Do you feel tired all the time, even after a good night's sleep? Do you find yourself taking more afternoon naps than usual, and avoiding strenuous activities because you feel low energy? This type of fatigue is cause for concern. If this symptom persists over a few weeks or months, be sure to get tested to rule out HIV. These symptoms commonly occur during the early stages of an HIV infection, during what is called the primary or acute HIV infection stage. Again, many people don't have these symptoms, but those who do usually experience them 2-4 weeks after contracting HIV.  Fever and night sweats are also symptoms of the flu and the common cold. If it's flu or cold season, that might be what you're experiencing. Chills, muscle aches, sore throat, and headache, which are also symptoms of the flu and cold, can also be signs of an early HIV infection. The lymph nodes swell in reaction to bodily infections. This doesn't happen to everyone who has primary HIV, but among those who have symptoms, it's a common one.  The lymph nodes in the neck tend to swell more than those in the armpits or groin with an HIV infection. Lymph nodes can swell as a result of many other types of infections, such as a cold or the flu, so further investigation is necessary to determine the cause. These symptoms, which are commonly associated with the flu, can also indicate an early HIV infection. Get tested if these symptoms persist. If you see a mouth ulcer appear along with the other symptoms noted, especially if you don't commonly get mouth ulcers, it may be a sign of primary HIV infection. Genital ulcers are also an indication that HIV may be present.

Fax machines are often shared by offices or several people within an office. Since anyone can see a fax sent to a fax machine, it is a good idea to include a cover letter. This will ensure that your fax gets to the correct person. The cover letter includes information like the recipient’s name, the content of the fax, and how many pages it includes. It should also include the sender’s information, such as name and fax number, so that the recipient will know whom it came from and can reply if necessary. Next, you will need to dial the fax number, just the same way you would on a telephone. On most new fax machines, the area code will not need to be dialed for a local number but is still necessary for long distance numbers. Some fax machines require the area code regardless of location. Check or ask about your machine.  The country code (the number 1 for US phones and fax numbers) will also sometimes need to be dialed before local numbers but only when the area code is also required. The country code is almost always necessary to dial long distance numbers. You will often also need to dial 9 before dialing long distance numbers. Check the specifications for or ask about your individual fax machine. Be sure that the number you are using is the fax number and not the phone number of the person you are trying to reach. Often the numbers will be listed next to each other on business cards and it is easy to misread it or look at the wrong number. When you put the materials to be faxed into the machine, you will need to put them in in the appropriate direction. The paper will be scanned, so if the paper is facing the wrong way only the back side will be scanned and the fax you send will be blank. Ensure that the papers a facing the right side up before sending the fax. Different fax machines feed in different ways. Helpfully, all fax machines are labeled with the appropriate direction to place the papers. Somewhere near the area where you feed the paper, look for a symbol of a sheet of paper with a corner folded...

Feed your pet twice a day at regular times, or as recommended by your vet. Some dogs prefer eating later in the day. If the dog is healthy and energetic, but gets distracted before finishing, set his food down and walk away. Come back in a half hour and pick his dish up, even if he hasn't eaten all of his food. It won't take him long to realize he needs to eat when he has the chance. Have the dog play with a toy with food hidden inside. Teach your dog new tricks and offer healthy treats or food as a reward. To make the dog's food more palatable, you can stir in a few spoonfuls of canned dog food or pour a little warm water or broth over the top. Alternatively, use dog gravy. You can buy this from pet stores. These are just granules that you mix with dry food and warm water that can make the food far more tasty for the dog. If the dog still won't eat, try these variations.  It may take a little time for your dog to adjust to the change, but they may help in the long run:  Feed your dog away from other pets. Use a different bowl or place it at a more comfortable height. Feed directly on the floor instead of in a bowl. Some dogs get distracted by activity and have trouble focusing on their meal. Make sure your dog's food and water dishes are in a quiet spot where he can eat in peace. Try a different brand, or switch from dry food to wet food. Make the change gradually over a week: mix 1/4 new to 3/4 old for a few days, then half and half for a few days and so on. This will be much easier on his digestion. Changing a dog's brand of food suddenly can cause obnoxious gas and diarrhea. Make sure all food products are fresh and stored in a closed container to keep moisture and pests out. Check the expiration date on foods when you purchase them and check often when they are stored.

Feeding geese can easily trigger an attack. Geese may lose their fear of humans if fed too frequently. They may also become aggressive over food, going after people for not handing over food.  If there are geese at a local park or nature center, encourage others to avoid feeding them. You could talk to a ranger at the park about strongly enforcing rules that prevent people from feeding geese. If you're at a park, do not feed the geese. If you have young children, strongly discourage them from feeding the birds. If there are bothersome geese in your yard, consider putting up barriers. Small fences can protect you and your family from potentially aggressive geese. If there are geese at a public place, like a park, contact officials and request barriers. It's difficult to entirely prevent geese if you live in an area where they are prevalent. However, measures can be taken to minimize attacks. You can contact your local Department of Natural Resources to report the problem. The DNR can look into ethical solutions, such as putting up extra fences or using scare tactics like orange flyers to discourage the geese from bothering people.

Feeling good about yourself is crucial to mental health. Worry and negative thoughts can bog you down and keep you from feeling your best. Self-doubt can be particularly distressing. The following exercises can help you quiet your inner critic and soothe your worries:  If you catch yourself worrying and or thinking negatively about yourself, ask yourself some questions. For example: "Is this thought kind to myself?" "Is this thought true?" "Would I say this to someone else?" The answers to these questions can often help reduce self-doubt. Change a negative thought to make it truer or kinder. For example, you might find yourself thinking: “I never get anything right.” Try to make this more truthful by thinking instead: “Sometimes I don’t get things right, but other times I do a really great job. It is ok that I can’t do everything, and I am proud of what I can do.” In times of difficulty, focus on qualities that can help you get through life's challenges.  For example, if you might find yourself thinking: “I don’t like not knowing what is going to happen. What if something terrible happens?” In this case, you can remind yourself of your strengths. You might say to yourself: “I do not like not knowing what will happen, but I do know that I have overcome unforeseeable events in the past. I trust my ability to handle whatever comes my way.” Acknowledging what you value about yourself will remind you of your worth, which is essential to mental wellness. Valuing your strengths can remind you of how capable and competent you are. It is helpful to write down your thoughts about your strengths, or even start a journal. Here are some helpful prompts to get you started: What makes you feel strong? Is it something you do, or a certain environment?  Describe what you feel in moments of strength. Confidence? Pride? List 5 qualities about yourself that are strengths. Which of these is the most important? Why?

Feeling ignored is frustrating, and it’s easy to assume the worst. Don’t assume that the other person is being malicious or intentionally giving you the cold shoulder, however. Consider alternative reasons why they might be ignoring you. For instance:  They're distracted by something else, like problems at home or work. You upset them without realizing it, and they feel hurt. They just don't "click" with you, so they prefer to spend time with other people. They're keeping a secret (like a surprise party) from you, and they're worried they'll spill it if they talk to you. They feel nervous around you for some reason (like having a crush on you or being intimidated by you). They just aren't very social, and they treat everyone this way. This can be a challenge. People often don't want to admit they did something wrong, or even notice that they've done something to offend someone. Take some deep breaths and evaluate your recent interactions with them. Was there any tension? Could their feelings have been hurt?   Plan for an apology if you realize you've done something wrong.  Even if this person didn't behave perfectly either, it is always better to take the high road. Practice different meditating techniques if it is hard for you to reflect. If you’re having trouble viewing the situation objectively, try asking someone else who knows what’s going on and can give you an outside perspective. Sometimes the best way to get to the root of the issue is to sit down with the other person and clear the air. Send them an email or a letter asking if you can get together to chat in private at a particular time and place.   Pick a quiet time to talk, when both of you are free and not distracted. Meeting in private will allow you to work out any problems between you (if there are any) without the embarrassment of a public confrontation. If you're especially nervous or think it might not go well, you can ask a 3rd party (like a mutual friend, counselor, or authority figure) to hep mediate. If they see you making an effort,...

Feeling left out is usually the result of being excluded or rejected by a group of people that you want to like and accept you. You may feel left out because you have been excluded and/or rejected by a group of friends or coworkers. It is normal to feel pain when you are excluded or rejected because we are all in need of social belonging. We are social beings and when our needs are not met, we experience pain and sadness. But just because it’s normal to feel pain when you are rejected doesn’t make it hurt any less, so it is important to develop strategies for coping with rejection.  Recent research has found that your brain processes pain from rejection the same way it would process physical pain, such as having a broken arm.  Social rejection can bring on feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, sadness, and jealousy.  Researchers have even found that is painful to be rejected by groups we don’t like! Everyone feels left out from time to time. Unless you've fallen out with, or upset your loved ones somehow, being left out is unlikely to be a regular occurrence. You may take comfort in knowing that the rejection you have just experienced is temporary and that you will not have to feel rejected all of the time. Sometimes we may feel left out when we don’t have a good reason to feel this way. In order to determine if you should feel left out, it is important to be realistic about the situation. Being realistic means looking at the situation from all angles. Consider all aspects of the situation including yourself, others involved, and even the environment. To help you be more realistic about the situation, it is helpful to do the following:  Look for evidence that you’ve been left out. Does the evidence support your feelings? Ask yourself if there may have been another reason someone acted in a way that made you feel left out? Maybe they had something else on their mind, or had to get somewhere in a hurry. Is my perception of this situation based on my emotions or on what actually happened?  Ask an unbiased...

Feeling that your life is shattered into too many pieces, or that you cannot departmentalize when you choose, is a warning that you are losing control over how you keep aspects of your life separated. Over time, this could create serious psychological problems. If you get married, and your wife or husband has never, ever met anyone from your pool of friends or your work life, the compartmentalizing is getting out of control. If your life, rather than small sections of it, feel like this representation of different feelings and "masks", stop compartmentalizing.  Losing control as stated above leads to either greater efforts at compartmentalization, or great fear of two or more segments of your life ever coming into contact with each other.     It is damaging to open and honest relationships, and raises suspicion in people who are very strictly assigned to one segment or another of your life. Know that you are doing this simply to increase the satisfaction and productivity in life is using this compartmentalization in an effective manner. Although you may not encourage talk of your work life at home, it is neither frightening or “feeling caught” if a family member does ask you directly as to what you do or how your day was. One way to stay in control of your compartmentalizing is not to overbook yourself so that you aren't trying to compartmentalize too many different aspects of your life. Don't get involved in a demanding activity like being the president of the PTA or volunteering to help your friend remodel her entire home if your heart isn't in it. Chances are, that if you're trying to compartmentalize, then you probably have enough going on, so try to minimize commitments whenever you can.  If you're already managing three projects at work, for example, then learn to say no when you're given the opportunity to manage a fourth. Check out your schedule. If you really want to say yes to a new opportunity, see if there's anything that you can cut out of your life.

Feelings don’t change overnight. It probably took you awhile to fall in love and establish a devoted relationship with your partner. Give yourself enough time to interpret your feelings, because you can irreparably damage your relationship if you act too quickly. Don’t feel guilty by giving yourself some time to unpack all of your emotions, and don’t try to rush to have it all figured out. Consider what else was happening when you started questioning your feelings. Have other factors changed in your life? Maybe you started a new job, and you're constantly exhausted. Maybe family troubles are causing a strain on the relationship. Make sure you recognize if your apathy or confusion about the relationship stems from the natural ups and downs of life, rather than feelings toward your partner. Consider things like your patience and physical attraction levels. Have you been snapping at them out of irritation more often recently? Has your interest in physical intimacy decreased? Maybe you’ve started needing more and more space away from them. These, of course, are all red flags. It’s normal for a relationship to cool off a bit as the honeymoon stage ends, but it shouldn’t become cold! Take note of how often you reject your partner’s advances, criticize them, lose patience with them, and so on. If you find that you’re doing these things more often than not, you probably need to take a hard, honest look at your relationship. You need to do this before you take any sort of decisive action. When you think about your future in an ideal world, is this person a part of it? Sometimes we take our loved ones for granted, even if they are the most important person in our lives. We don’t realize that their absence would shatter our world as we know it. Be completely honest with yourself when you picture moving on without them— would your life suffer or flourish?  Any breakup is hard, because it means stepping outside of your comfort zone and losing someone you once cared about. However, imagine life after the initial...

Female goldfish tend to have a rounder, thicker body shape than males of the same age and species.  They also tend to be deeper-bodied, which is useful for identifying sex from a side view. As breeding season approaches, the females will begin to develop roe (eggs), which may cause a bulge on one side, making the female look asymmetrical or lop-sided. The vent (anal opening) of a female goldfish is rounder than the male's and tends to protrude from the body slightly as breeding season approaches.  When viewed from the side, the vent may appear as a raised surface on the female's abdomen. In addition to a protruding vent, the female's anal fin may appear slightly thicker than the male's.

Female robins will move to an adjacent nesting territory during the summer.  Male robins, by contrast, remain on the same territory year-round. Male robins bring females food -- seeds, worms, or berries -- in order to strengthen the mating bond.  The female will warble noisily and flap her wings to communicate that she desires the male's gift. After the female has laid eggs, she will remain in the nest for up to two weeks.  During this time, the male will bring food to her and her young. If you see two robins in a nest with hatchlings and one flies away to obtain food, the one left in the nest is likely the female. It is very difficult to distinguish between male and female robins using plumage.  However, there are some subtle differences in the breasts of older robins.  In male robins in their second year of life, the gray fringe around the red breast, continues to widen.  The breast itself tends to be larger than that of females.  While the fringe around the breast of the female robins does not widen significantly as they age, the female's red breast itself does continue to grow with age. Knowing the robin's age is important when utilizing breast characteristics to determine the sex of European robins.

Fencing your yard will prevent larger animals, such as deer or coyotes, from passing through your backyard. Ticks travel on mammals, so keeping larger animals out will help control the tick population in your yard. Besides, deer will chomp on your garden, and coyotes will chomp on your cats. Like brush and dead leaves, firewood holds darkness and moisture. Keeping it stacked in a dry location denies ticks of their safe haven, and it will keep your firewood nice and dry when it's time to use it next winter! Make sure they play in areas that are located well away from high grasses or trees. If the swing set has grass growing around the legs of the set, get that weed whacker over there and start trimming! Ticks can nest under feeders undisturbed––by cleaning regularly you make it undesirable for them. Regularly check yourself, your children and pets, especially after playing or hiking outdoors.  Look for ticks in the hairline, under arms, on legs—–all over. Remove them with a pair of tweezers. Be careful not to squeeze the body of an embedded tick, you do not want the tick to regurgitate into the attach point as this aids in the passing of diseases such as Lyme disease. You can make a non-toxic tick repellent at home. Get a 16-ounce (475ml) spray bottle and start spraying!   Create a citrus based repellant. Ticks avoid citrus, which makes it an effective weapon. To make: Boil 2 cups of water, and add two chopped lemons, limes, oranges, or grapefruit—–alone or in combination. Let it boil for a minute or so, then simmer the concoction for an hour. Strain the fruit out, let it cool, pour into the sprayer, and squirt it on you, your kids, your pets and your yard—–anywhere ticks might like to go.  Other natural repellents use geranium, lavender, or peppermint essential oils. These are not safe for cats though, so avoid spraying the cat or indoor areas where the cat lives.

Feng Chi, also called GB20 or the Gates of Consciousness, is a common pressure point used for migraines. GB20 found just below the ear. To find the point, find the two hollows on the sides of the neck at the base of the skull. You can thread your fingers, gently cup your skull with your hands, and place your thumbs in the hollows at the base of the neck.  Use your thumbs to massage the point with a deep and firm pressure. Press it for four to five seconds. If you know where the hollows are, you can try massaging them with your index or middle finger, or use your knuckles. Relax and breathe deeply as you massage GB20. You can massage and press this point for up to three minutes. The temple region features a group of points that curve around the outer ear on your skull. They are located one index finger width from the edge of the outer ear. The first point, Hairline Curve, starts just above the tip of your ear. Each point is one index finger width behind the previous point, curling down and back around the ear.  Apply pressure to each point on both sides of the head. You can apply simple pressure or circular pressure for one minute. Stimulate each point right after the previous one for best results. The points are in order from front to back Hairline Curve, Valley Lead, Celestial Hub, Floating White, and Head Portal Yin. The Wind Mansion point, also called GV16, helps with migraines, stiff necks, and mental stress. It is located in the center of the back of the head halfway between your ears and spine. Find the hollow under the base of the skull and press into the middle. Put a deep, firm pressure against the point for at least one minute.

Fertile eggs must be obtained from hatcheries or poultry farms which have roosters in their flock, if you do not breed your own chickens. You may be able to buy fresh farm eggs from someone who sells their extras. Be sure to check with potential suppliers well in advance, to ensure they have the correct breed and number of eggs in stock. Your county extension agent or extension poultry specialist may be able to suggest a source.  The eggs you find in grocery stores are not fertile and cannot be hatched. For disease prevention and health reasons, it's best to get all your eggs from one source. If you are looking for a particular or rare breed of chicken, you may need to contact a specialized hatchery. You should be wary of buying your eggs online and having them shipped to you, especially if you are a first time hatcher. Shipped eggs are more difficult to hatch than eggs from your own flock or eggs acquired locally.  On average, eggs that have never shipped have an 80% chance of hatching, whereas shipped eggs have only a 50% chance. However, if the eggs are treated very roughly during shipping, it is possible none will hatch, even when you are doing everything right. If you are able to select your own hatching eggs, there are several things you should look out for. You should select eggs from breeding hens that are well developed, mature and healthy; they should be compatible with their mates and produce a high percentage of fertile eggs (around three). The breeding hens should also be fed a complete breeder's diet.  Avoid excessively large or small eggs, or misshapen eggs. Large eggs hatch poorly and small eggs produce small chicks. Avoid eggs with cracked or thin shells. These eggs have difficulty retaining moisture needed for proper chick development. Cracked or thin shells also make it easier for disease to penetrate. An important point to keep in mind is that your eggs will generally hatch out in a 50:50 mix of males and females. If you live in town, roosters can be a problem and keeping them is often...

Fertility care providers have begun testing for a hormone that's released by your egg sacs. This Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) indicates how many eggs you have in your ovaries so it's frequently used to understand how effective in-vitro fertilization treatments may be. Your health care provider will take a sample of blood from your arm. The sample will be sent to a lab for testing and your AMH level will be analyzed. Keep in mind that your levels won't change throughout your menstrual cycle, so you can have your AMH tested at any time. Birth control won't affect your AMH levels, so it's fine to be tested if you're taking oral contraceptives. Fertile women's AMH levels are usually between 1.0 and 4.0 ng/ml. An AMH level below 1.0 ng/ml can indicate a low egg reserve. Since AMH levels reduce as you age, these are standard levels based on age:  25 years old: 5.4 ng/ml 30 years old: 3.5 ng/ml 35 years old: 2.3 ng/ml 40 years old: 1.3 ng/ml Over 43 years old: 0.7 ng/ml

Feverfew contains anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmotic compounds and works to reduce inflammation. This may dilate the constricted blood vessels that may be underlying migraine pain. Feverfew is well-known for treating the pain of migraines, and reducing their frequency. If you are allergic or have any sensitivities to any plant in the aster family, you should not use feverfew.  Feverfew should not be used if you have a bleeding disorder or before surgery unless under the advice of a knowledgeable healthcare practitioner. This is one of the best studied herbs and shown to be effective at treating migraines. It works much the same way as feverfew, by reducing inflammation. Butterbur should not be used if you have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. These are often recommended by naturopathic physicians. Willow bark acts like a sort of natural aspirin, without the side effects. Skullcap appears to increase local levels of oxygen in the blood and ginkgo functions as an anti-oxidant and protects brain cells. Place essential oils such as chamomile, mint, rosemary, lemon balm, or lavender into a diffuser at the first sign of a headache. These can help you relax and feel less anxious. Note that lemon balm should not be used by anyone with thyroid problems. You can use tea leaves, or purchase a tincture, which is an extract of these herbs, from a nutritional or health food store. Drink 1 or 2 cups at the first sign of a headache.

Fevers under 39.5C (103F) are generally not harmful in themselves. In many cases, fever is a good thing, as it is the body’s way of raising the temperature of the environment to be toxic to pathogens, bacteria, and viruses.  Fever usually does not cause harm, is self-limiting, and medication is usually not needed. Fever usually lasts no more than a few days. Infants under the age of 12 weeks with a fever of 38C (100.4F) or greater should go directly to emergency.  The main reason to treat a fever is to make your child more comfortable. But, if the fever is high (39.8C/103.6F or higher), you should consider treating it and seeking medical attention. Antipyretic (anti-fever) medications work on regulating the hypothalamus, the temperature centre in the brain. Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin, Advil) work well and should reduce the fever within 1.5 to 2 hours. If your feverish child is younger than 2, consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication.  Do not give children aspirin (ASA, acetylsalicylic acid). Children who take aspirin can fall ill with Reye syndrome, a life-threatening illness that causes swelling of the brain and other issues.  Always be sure to give the correct dosage to a child. Children do not take the same amount as adults. Dosages are based on age and weight so read the bottle carefully to determine the right dose for your child based on the bottle guidelines. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are uncertain how much to give.  There is no evidence that alternating medications reduces fever any quicker; rather, it can lead to dosage errors. This practice is not recommended in children.  Do not give ibuprofen to children younger than 6 months. If your child is vomiting or dehydrated, do not use ibuprofen. Take your child to a doctor if he has a high fever (over 40C or 104F) that does not come down to 38.3C (101F) to 38.9C (102F) with medication. Also take your child to the doctor if the fever lasts over 24 hours (for children younger than 2) or 3...

Few people have the willpower to be perfect for the weeks or months it takes to lose the needed weight. Therefore it is advisable that you build into your diet a "cheat meal" once a week.   A cheat meal does not mean that you get to eat an entire pizza and a carton of ice cream in one sitting. But it is an opportunity to eat something that is not on your diet. So have two slices of pizza and a reasonable bowl of ice cream. Have your cheat meal guilt free, after all it is a planned part of your diet, then immediately get back on your diet for the next meal. A regular and reasonable cheat meal may even help boost your metabolism . Not enough sleep can hamper your weight loss efforts. Try to get 8 hours of sleep per night. Low-fat, non-fat, the grapefruit diet, the cabbage diet, the cleansing diet. Fad diets may help you lose a few quick pounds, but for serious weight loss and sustained weight loss don't look for the next fad. This plan instead focuses on simple sustainable changes: eating less than you burn, eating high quality nutrient dense foods with plenty of protein and healthy fats in your diet. Log your food intake throughout your diet. If you eat as prescribed and maintain your current activity level or more, you should be able to successfully lose fat.   Keep in mind that as you lose weight you may want to recalculate your macronutrient and caloric needs. Do not be afraid of incorporating new meals into your diet, as long as you still follow you calories and macronutrient guidelines for the day. If you are not losing weight on a 15-30% deficit, look to your food logging. Be careful to measure, or better yet weigh, everything and record the correct portion sizes when calculating calories and macronutrients consumed.

Fiber helps absorb fluid in your intestines and make your stool bulkier, which in turn helps the bowels contract and push the stool out. It is important, however, that you try to incorporate more fiber into your diet before trying a supplement as this is truly the best way to get more fiber. Most bulk-forming agents can be taken in capsule or powder form and mixed with 8 oz of water or fruit juice. Follow any directions on the label and only take the recommended dosage. Potential side effects include increased flatulence, cramping, and bloating. Most people see results within 12 hours to 3 days Common bulk-forming laxatives include:   Psyllium  - Psyllium is a soluble fiber used to increase bulk and stimulate the bowels to contract and release stool with ease. A significant amount of research has suggested that psyllium can relieve constipation. You can find psyllium in the widely available product Metamucil. You must drink at least 8 oz of liquid when you take psyllium.   Polycarbophil - Polycarbophil calcium has been shown in several studies to help treat chronic constipation. With the main ingredient being mineral oil, lubricants work by coating the surface of stool, which helps the stool keep fluid and pass more easily. Most people see results within hours of consumption. Popular brand names available in most pharmacies include Fleet and Zymenol. Lubricants are simple and inexpensive laxatives, but should only be used as a short-term prescription. The mineral oil in lubricants can decrease the effectiveness of certain prescription drugs and can also inhibit the absorption of fat-soluble vitamin and minerals in your body.  Lubricant laxatives are generally taken at bedtime and may be taken orally on an empty stomach and in an upright position. Be sure to drink at least 8 oz of water or juice after you take this laxative.  Physicians do not recommend mineral oil for persistent treatment of constipation. Better known as stool softeners, emollient laxatives, such as Colace and Docusate, work to increase the...

Fiber-rich foods aid digestion in a variety of ways. Eating these foods can speed digestion by reducing constipation and maintaining general bowel health. By adding bulk to your stool, fiber-rich foods regulate digestion. They can also help reduce gas, bloating, and diarrhea.  Fiber works by absorbing water, adding weight and mass to your stool. For this to work, adequate (and sometimes increased) water consumption is also needed. Otherwise, constipation can occur. Some high-fiber foods include whole-grain products, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Yogurt is a great natural source of probiotics, and other live cultures that are essential to digestion. The digestion benefits of yogurt are thought to come from the way that yogurt:  Encourages the growth of good bacteria, due to its naturally occurring live cultures. Decreases the length of time it takes to recover from infections, as well as lessens the immune system response in people with irritable bowel syndrome. Speeds the time that food takes to go through the bowel. Ginger has been used for thousands of years as a digestive aid, and its popularity has continued to the present day. Ginger is thought to stimulate the release of enzymes in the digestive tract that increase the efficiency and ease of digestion. Ginger has been shown to increase muscle contractions in the stomach, helping to move food to the upper small intestine faster. Foods high in fat and fried foods can cause acid reflux and heartburn because they overwhelm the stomach's ability to properly break down its contents.  Your stomach finds these foods hard to digest, and slows the entire digestive process.  Examples of high-fat and fried foods include processed meats, french fries, ice cream, butter, and cheese. Spicy foods can irritate the throat and esophagus, leading to acid reflux and heartburn. Additionally, these foods can upset the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, slowing down digestion and causing diarrhea and other digestive ailments. Yogurt, in general, helps people....

Figs are sensitive to cold temperatures and difficult to transport, so it can be hard to find fresh figs in cooler climates, especially outside of summer. Dried figs are available in most grocery stores year-round, however. Figs are healthy no matter how you consume them. There are 37 calories for every 8 oz (50 g), and the same amount yields an average of 1.45 g fiber, 116 mg potassium, 0.06 mg manganese, and 0.06 mg vitamin B6. The exact size and color of a ripe fig varies based on the variety, but all varieties are soft when ripe. A ripe fig will give when poked and will have a very potent, sweet smell.  Avoid figs that are hard or ones that have deep rips or bruises. A few small scratches are fine, however, since these will not affect the taste or quality of the fruit. Also avoid figs that appear to have mold on them or those that smell sour or rotten. Ripe figs can be green, brown, yellow, or deep purple. You should use figs as fresh as possible. They can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days after harvest but will begin to spoil past that point. You can preserve figs by freezing them or canning them if you need to keep them longer. Rinse the figs under cool water and gently wipe them dry with clean paper towels.  Since figs are so delicate, you should never scrub them with a vegetable brush. Remove any dirt you see by scrubbing it gently with your fingers. Remove the stems as you wash the figs by gently twisting them off using your fingers. Sugar crystals can be removed by sprinkling 1/2 cup (125 ml) figs with 1 tsp (5 ml) water and microwaving them on high for 1 minutes. Ripe figs often ooze a sugary syrup that can crystallize on the surface. These figs are still good to eat, but for presentation or texture purposes these crystals are usually removed.

Figs have a mildly sweet taste and can be enjoyed fresh and on their own.  The skin of the fig is edible. As a result, you do not need to peel the fig before eating it. Merely twist off the stem and eat the fig skin and all. If you do not like the texture of the skin, you can peel it off before eating the fig. After twisting off the stem, carefully use your fingers to peel away the skin starting from the exposed top. To enjoy the flavor of the interior without removing the skin, simply cut the fig in half. Gently hold the fig with one hand and use a sharp knife to cut it in half lengthwise. This exposes the sweet interior, allowing the taste to come forth immediately as soon as you eat it. A common way to serve fresh figs is to enjoy them raw with a little cheese or dairy spread over them. The dairy should be sweet and tangy, however, rather than sharp.  Cut the figs in half and place a dollop of cream cheese over each half. You could use plain cream cheese or flavored cream cheese. This can be served as a snack or simple appetizer. Melt a piece of blue cheese into the fig. Remove the stems and cut a small "x" shape in the top of the fig. Stuff a bit of blue cheese into the cut and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). Rich dairy products, like mascarpone and crème fraiche, also work well with the flavor of figs. Figs can be poached on the stove or in a slow cooker. Use roughly 2 cups (500 ml) of liquid for every 8 figs.  You could use fortified wine or wine that has been simmered with warm spices, like cinnamon, cloves, or star anise. You could also use fruit juice or flavored vinegars like balsamic vinegar. Simmer the figs for 10 to 15 minutes on the stove.   Cook the figs on low for 23 hours in the slow cooker.  Poached figs are often served with yogurt, rich dairy products, or frozen desserts. Mix 1 lb (450 g) chopped figs with 1 cup (250 ml) sugar in a saucepan. Cook on low heat for 30 minutes until thick preserves form. Figs can be used in breads, cakes, muffins, and other...

Figure out the boundaries of the region for which you want to know the population density. Think about why you want this number. Perhaps you want to find the population density of your country, your city, or your neighborhood. You will need to find the total area of this place: usually in feet, miles, meters, or kilometers.  Odds are that someone else has already measured and surveyed this area. Look for census data, read an encyclopedia, or run a web search. Find out whether the area has any set boundaries. If not, you'll need to define them yourself. A neighborhood, for instance, may not be listed in the census, so you'll need to draw the borders yourself. Short of counting the population yourself, you'll need to find an up-to-date record of how many people live in this area. Start by running a web search for the population of the place – say, the city of Houston, Texas. Look for the most recent census data for a relatively accurate number. If you are looking for the population of a country, the CIA World Factbook is a good source. If you are calculating the population density for an area that has not already been recorded, you may need to count the population yourself. This might include a colloquially-defined urban neighborhood, for instance, or a population of kangaroos in a section of the Australian Outback. Try to get as accurate a number as possible. If you plan to compare one area against another, make sure that all of your numbers use a common unit of measurement. For instance, if one county is listed in square miles and another is listed in square km, you will need to convert the area of both countries into either square miles or square km.

Figuring out what you should do with your life may sometimes require you to get to know yourself better. If you want a career that will really make you happy, you have to have a very good understanding of what you want and what you enjoy. For some people, this means taking some time off to decide what’s important to them. There is nothing wrong with this, so don’t feel bad. It’s more important that you figure your life out as early as possible, rather than getting knee deep in a career which makes you hate your life. Your ability to pursue or change careers may hinge on your financial situation. Some career paths require special schooling and this is sometimes expensive. However, you should not feel that being poor restricts you from getting the education you want. There are lots of government programs to help you pay for schools, as well as scholarships, grants, and apprenticeship programs. It is important to consider what education you already have or will have as you begin pursuing a career. If finances may prevent you from pursuing more schooling, you may need to consider what you already have. It may also be necessary to stick with your existing high school or college degree if there are time limitations or other restrictions. If you find that you are limited to jobs relating to the degree you already have, consult with a career counselor to find out what options are available to you. If restrictions do not bar you from pursuing more schooling, you may want to consider this option. Not everybody excels in school or needs a traditional college education, but most career paths have associated training which you can do and will help you advance more quickly. Technical colleges, for example, may be a good option for those who would prefer not to pursue a traditional education. If you're still confused, consider doing more research on this topic. You can find more helpful information here or consult with your adviser or college of choice.

Figuring out why you lack confidence can help you target those feelings.  Start writing a "self-esteem" journal, where you note when you feel more and less confident about the way you look. After a week or two, look back at your notes and try to find patterns to the way you feel.  Were you more confident in any of the following situations: after spending more time grooming or getting ready, if you dressed a certain way, spending time in smaller groups, spending time away from certain individuals, or spending less time on social media or looking at celebrity media?  Are there any "bigger" issues, such as your employment status or personal troubles that seem to trigger your feelings of low confidence? Some people turn this type of anxiety towards their self-perception, which may seem easier to deal with than the “bigger” problem of job security or personal problems.  If you don't see any patterns or you're still not sure what is causing your lack of confidence, you may want to try a number of different tips to find what seems to help the most. Dr. Vivian Diller has a number of different cognitive-behavioral techniques for improving your confidence in your looks, which she calls “beauty self-esteem.” These techniques focus on evaluating the source of your self-esteem, questioning your negative opinion of your looks, and thinking about ways to think about your looks more positively. Focus on sitting up straight with your chest pushed out while doing the following steps for maximum confidence. Write the 3 things about your looks and the 3 things about your personality that you like the most. Place all 6 items in order of importance and write 1 sentence about each. For example, “I help others. I volunteer every week for a local charity and always call my friends back right away when they need to talk.” Notice where the physical features ranked relative to your personality features; most people rank personality features above physical features, which emphasizes not only that our self-esteem is influenced more about...

Fill a bag with a variety of toys, games, crayons, stickers, snacks, and other items that your toddler will enjoy. Then, give your toddler the bag on the plane and let them unpack it! They will have fun taking all of the new items out of the bag and they can choose what they like to keep them occupied. Some items you could place in the bag include:  A coloring book and crayons A board book Stickers A few of their favorite snacks A small plush toy Toy cars A plastic container with a hole cut in the lid and pom poms to stuff into the hole Pick up several little items that you think your toddler might like and wrap them individually. These can be new items or items from home that your toddler enjoys playing with. Wrap each of the items and then plan to give your toddler 1 present every half hour or so during the flight. Try telling your toddler that the present is a reward for good behavior and that they will get another if they continue to be good. Bring a tablet of construction paper and some markers. Then, ask your toddler what they want you to draw. You can offer them several options, such as a house, a race track, a tree, or a boat. Then, give your toddler the finished drawing and let them decorate it with stickers. Try getting some stickers that will match up with different scenes, such as animal, flower, and weather stickers.

Fill a bottle cap with some rooting hormone (Honey works as a great substitute for rooting hormone). Wipe the calloused end of the leaf with a damp towel to moisten it slightly. Dip the moistened end into the rooting hormone. Make a small hole in the potting soil, and immediately place the end of the leaf into this hole. Use your finger to pack the soil around the rooting hormone. Rooting hormone is not necessary to propagate succulents from leaves, but it will decrease rooting time and increase the chances of success. Prepare a shallow tray by filling it with cactus or succulent soil or damp sand. Lay the leaves on top of the soil with the calloused end facing upward and away from the soil.  It’s important to use cactus or succulent soil, because these plants need well-draining soil to thrive. You can also make your own soil mixture by combining equal parts sand, perlite, and potting soil. Most succulents are desert-dwelling plants, which means adults need plenty of full sun to thrive. But when you're propagating succulents from leaves, they need indirect sunlight until the new plant is established. Keep the leaf cuttings by a warm window that doesn’t get direct sunlight, or that’s protected by a tree or window shade. Rooting succulents need a bit more water than adults, but too much water will cause them to rot and die. Instead of watering, use a spray bottle to mist the soil every day. You just want the top of the soil damp. If you live somewhere with lots of humidity in the air, you may not need to mist the leaves at all while they're rooting. After about four weeks, the leaves will start to grow little pink roots from the cut. Sprinkle a thin layer of the soil over the roots to prevent them from drying out. Once the roots have been buried, they will continue to grow into a new succulent plant. When the new plant starts to create its own leaves, you can transplant it to its own pot.

Fill a bowl or sink basin with warm water and a little gentle hand soap. Place your hands in the bowl or basin so that your glue-on nails are completely submerged in the water, and keep them there for about 15 minutes.  The soap and water will soak into the nail glue and soften it, making it easier to remove the nails. You can also soak your nails in a little pure acetone to soften the glue, but be aware that acetone is much harsher on your skin, nails and cuticles than soap and water.  Alternatively, soften up your nail glue by putting a few drops of cuticle oil on each false nail and letting it soak in for a few seconds.

Fill a bucket or tub with the water you want to dechlorinate.  Do not cover it, and place it in an area with limited airborne particles and debris to prevent contamination.  Over time, the chlorine in the water will dissipate due to exposure to the sun and air.  The precise length of time needed to dechlorinate water using this method depends on the volume of chlorine you’re attempting to remove and the amount of direct sunlight the water receives. Also, the wider and shallower the container, the faster the process will occur. Check the water regularly using a chlorine test kit to determine how much chlorine remains in the water. Evaporation won’t remove chloramine, which is used instead of chlorine in some water supplies. It’s also not recommended for drinking water since contamination can easily occur. Powdered ascorbic acid (also known as vitamin C) neutralizes chlorine.  Just sprinkle the ascorbic acid over the water and mix it in.  This method works best for dechlorinating water meant for plants or hydroponics systems.  Ascorbic acid is affordable and can be obtained from most pet stores. Ascorbic acid removes both chlorine and chloramine. It also shouldn't noticeably affect the flavor of the water, if you choose to use this method for drinking water. Place the water you wish to dechlorinate as close as possible to a UV light source.  The precise amount of UV light you’ll need to dechlorinate your water depends on how much water you’re trying to dechlorinate, the strength of the light you’re using, and the presence of organic chemicals in the water.  Typically, you should treat chlorinated water using a UV light at the 254 nanometer wavelength that has a radiant energy density of 600 milliliters (20.3  fl oz) per 1 square centimetre (0.16 sq in). UV light will remove chloramine as well as chlorine. This is also a suitable dechlorination process for drinking water.

Fill a fine misting spray bottle with 70% rubbing alcohol. Spray it on the hovering fruit flies. They'll fall to the floor and you can sweep them up and dispose of them. You can also spray 91% rubbing alcohol in the air and to saturate any eggs. This stronger alcohol kills them immediately and serves as a very effective disinfectant. The stronger alcohol option can cost as much as .50-$1.00 more per container. It is much more powerful than traditional 70% rubbing alcohol . One should take precautionary measures such as ventilating the area and wearing gloves. 91% rubbing alcohol is far less poisonous, caustic, or dangerous than an insecticide or pesticide.   Windex is another instant killer of most small bugs. If you find a patch of fruit flies in an area you are willing to get wet, give them a few quick sprays of Windex and watch them suffer. Another spray method is to use Clorox cleaning spray. Wipe down surfaces and dead flies afterwards. However, you'll need to ventilate the room you're spraying because the smell can be somewhat overwhelming; not recommended if you're worried about toxic indoor air or you're spraying near food preparation surfaces. You can even use a fine mist bottle to spray mobs of flies with plain water; they will drop to the surface below. Because their wings are damp, they will be momentarily unable to fly, so you can easily squash them and clean them up. Pyrethrin is an insecticide that effectively kills adult fruit flies, but not their eggs. Be sure to use it according to the instructions. Avoid directly spraying it over fruit or in food preparation areas.  This product comes in an aerosol can that can be used to spray fruit flies as you see them. It kills them on contact. You can buy an automatic pyrethrin dispenser to deal with high volumes of fruit flies in one area. There are several drain gels on the market that are formulated to fruit flies and eggs infesting kitchen drains. If boiling water and soap don't do the trick, consider trying a gel. Follow the manufacturer's...

Fill a glass full of cold water, then slowly drink it until it’s gone. As you drink, try to hold your breath for as long as you can. Additionally, you might plug up your ears. This technique works best if your water is ice cold rather than just chilled. Add water to a glass until it’s half full. Then, lean over your glass and drink from the side farthest away from you, which will simulate drinking upside down. As another option, you can lie upside down off of your bed or couch, then carefully drink the water.  Stop every few sips to see if your hiccups have gone away. Be careful that you don’t accidentally breathe in the water or pour it into your nose. Take a spoon and fill it with white or brown sugar. Then, hold the spoon in your mouth for 5-10 seconds. Finally, swallow the sugar and take a big sip of water. If this doesn't work straight away, it's not a good idea to ingest spoonful after spoonful of sugar. Instead, switch to a different technique. Place a lemon wedge into your mouth. Then, either bite into the wedge and drink the juice, or suck on the wedge to get the juice. If the taste is too much for you, it’s okay to add a little sugar to the lemon wedge to sweeten it. The taste of the lemon juice causes a similar reaction to someone scaring you. Vinegar may help combat your hiccups, but you may find its smell and taste to be unpleasant. Since pickle juice contains vinegar, you can drink it instead. Take a few sips of pickle juice or put a few drops of it onto your tongue. Then, repeat as necessary until your hiccups are gone. All pickle juice contains vinegar, no matter the type of pickle. Scoop out a small spoonful of peanut butter, then place it onto your tongue. Hold it in place for 5-10 seconds to let it dissolve some. Then, swallow the peanut butter without chewing. Other nut butters like almond butter or Nutella can be substituted for the peanut butter, if you prefer.

Fill a large pot with roughly 2 inches (5 cm) of water. Set it to boiling on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Do not use too much water. You need to use enough water to create steam, but you do not want the water to touch the asparagus or the bottom of the colander. Make sure to use a colander that can rest on the brim of the pot.  A colander that dips down into the pot is ideal, but make sure that it does not touch the bottom of the pot or the water inside. A small wire basket, like the basket of a deep fryer, can also be used in place of the colander as long as the basket is made of food-grade metal. Do not use another pot. The container you rest the asparagus in must have holes in the bottom to allow steam to rise through. Cover it with the lid of the pot. Use aluminum foil if you do not have a lid or if the lid will not fit securely over the colander. Pinch the foil around the colander to create a seal. Otherwise, steam may escape through the cover. This will typically take anywhere from 5 to 6 minutes. Do not remove the cover as the asparagus cooks. The steam needs to remain trapped inside. Lift the lid off the pot and colander, stepping back slightly to prevent yourself from getting burned by the steam. Remove the colander and dump the asparagus out onto a serving dish.  Use oven mitts when lifting the colander out to prevent burns. Use tongs to remove the aluminum foil if you used foil instead of a lid. Season with oil and salt, if desired. Sprinkle the salt over the asparagus in the serving dish and toss with heat-resistant serving spoons to coat.

Fill a large saucepan or stockpot about 1/2 to 2/3 full with water. Heat the water on high until it reaches a boil. Add a dash of salt to the water, if desired. Adding salt to the water will draw out more flavor from the cauliflower. You could add it before the water reaches a boil, but doing so will cause the water to take a little more time to reach its boiling point. As a result, you may find it more beneficial to add it after the water has already begun boiling. Cook the cauliflower, uncovered, until it becomes tender. The cauliflower must be tender enough to pierce with a fork. Once the cauliflower is adequately cooked, pour the contents of the stockpot or saucepan through a colander to separate the water from the vegetable. Throw the drained cauliflower back into the still-hot saucepan. Let it sit, removed from the heat of the stove, with the lid on for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat, uncovered, for about 1 minute on full power.  If you are concerned about food splatters, lightly cover the top of the bowl with a paper towel before you microwave the coconut milk mixture. Doing so will prevent most splatters without interfering with the heating process. Note that you could also heat these ingredients in a small saucepan on the stove for the same amount of time. Meanwhile, transfer the cooked cauliflower to a food processor and puree on medium to high speed until whipped and smooth.  As you process the cauliflower, you may need to scrap down the sides of the food processor with a spatula periodically to ensure even blending. You could use a blender instead of a food processor, if necessary. Once the cauliflower reaches your desired consistency, add the warm coconut milk mixture to the mashed cauliflower and pulse for 10 seconds. The coconut milk mixture will make the cauliflower creamier, but it must be evenly blended into the cauliflower. Mashed cauliflower is best enjoyed while still warm. Top with butter, additional pepper, or chives, as desired.

Fill a large saucepan or stockpot roughly halfway with water and heat it over high heat. Once it reaches a boil, add a dash of salt to the water. Adding salt to the water allows the salt the flavor the cauliflower as it cooks. You could add it before the water reaches a boil, but doing so will cause the water to take a little more time to reach its boiling point. Place the florets in the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until tender. The cauliflower should be tender enough to pierce with a fork. After draining the cauliflower, return it to the still-hot pot and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.  Drain the cauliflower by pouring the contents of the pot through a colander. Remove the pot from the heat while letting the cauliflower stand. Cover the pot as the cauliflower stands. Add the olive oil to a small skillet and heat it over medium heat for roughly 60 seconds. The oil should be glossy and hot, but not hot enough to sizzle. Place the garlic in the hot oil and cook for roughly 2 minutes, or until it becomes soft and fragrant.  Stir the garlic frequently using a spatula as it cooks. Remove the garlic from the skillet once ready. Add cooked garlic, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the stockpot along with the cauliflower. If your stockpot is large enough, you do not need to transfer the cauliflower to another bowl. It can be mashed directly inside the pot. Use this utensil to smash the soft cauliflower until it reaches a chunky consistency reminiscent of mashed potatoes. Make sure that the other ingredients are worked into the cauliflower as you mash it. Use firm pressure and press the potato masher straight down into the contents of the pot. Mashed cauliflower is best enjoyed while still warm. Top with butter, additional pepper, or chives, as desired.

Fill a large, clean container with fresh water. Leave your betta’s current container alone for now. Use a water conditioner (available at pet supply stores) to remove chlorine and other harmful substances from the fresh water. Follow all directions provided with the water conditioner, and use the exact amount required for your tank or bowl size. Putting your betta immediately into water that is a different temperature can harm it. Let the container of fresh, treated water sit at room temperature for an hour so that it will be safe and comfortable for your fish. Alternatively, you can mix hot and cold water from your tap until it is the same temperature as the water in your betta’s current container. If you follow this method, use an aquarium thermometer to make sure that the water in both tanks is the same temperature, and add water conditioner to the new water as instructed. To do a partial water change, you will take some of the water from your betta’s container and replace it with some of the fresh, treated water. Using a clean scoop or something similar, remove 25 to 50 percent of the water in your betta’s current container. Leave your betta in the container as you remove the water.  To be precise, you can measure the water as you take it out. For instance, if you have a twenty-gallon tank, remove up to ten gallons measured using jugs or other measuring containers. You can also use a siphon hose to transfer water from your betta’s container to a bucket or sink. Once the water starts flowing, move the hose so it "vacuums" the gravel at the bottom of the tank, picking up fish waste, old food, and other debris. Slowly pour fresh, treated water from the container you prepared into your betta’s current container until it reaches the previous water level.If the container is too heavy to lift and pour, use a clean scoop (or similar container) or siphon hose to add the water. It is fine to leave your betta in its container as you add the fresh water, but add the water slowly so that you do not disturb the fish....

Using a fish net, remove your betta from its current container to the container filled with fresh water. Be very gentle when moving your fish, as its fins are very susceptible to injury. Pour out the old water from your betta’s container. Gently clean the container itself, using only water and a clean, soft cloth or sponge; soaps and other products can harm your fish. Make sure to sift the tank’s gravel to remove waste, food debris, etc. Take some of the fresh water from the container your betta is currently in, and pour it into its container. Pour enough so that your betta will be able to move comfortably in its container. Using a fish net, move your betta from the holding tank back to its container, now partially filled with fresh water. As before, be very gentle when moving your fish. Take the rest of the fresh water from the holding tank and very slowly pour it into your betta’s container.

Fill a plastic flower pot with a mixture made of 3 parts agricultural sand and 1 part topsoil. Mix the soil components well so that they are evenly dispersed throughout the container. Cuttings get most of the moisture they need to grow from humidity since they do not have roots at this point. As such, you do not want to use a soil that will retain a lot of moisture. Choose a mature, healthy passion fruit plant to take a cutting from. Snip off a portion of the vine that contains at least 3 buds or at least 6 inches (15 cm) long, if not more, and cut directly below the lowest bud.  Newer growth is more active, so it is recommended that you choose a newer portion of vine rather than an older portion. Immediately plant this cutting into your sand bed. Remove the bottom-most leaves to help your cutting preserve water. The best place for a vine cutting is a greenhouse. If you do not have access to one, though, you can build a humidity chamber by stretching clear plastic sheeting across a box frame made of bamboo.  Make sure that any humidity chamber you use stays moist. Keep it in full sun, and place it where the air is moist. If you need to generate additional humidity, you can do so by running a humidifier or by placing dishes of water-covered gravel around the base of the cutting. Your cuttings should form new roots within several weeks if they’re kept in the right condition. They are ready to be treated as established seedlings at this point and may be transplanted into a permanent garden space.

Fill a small dish with warm water, then squeeze a dollop of gentle hand soap or shampoo into it. Mix lightly until suds form on the surface of the water. Dish soap is generally not recommended, as it can irritate your skin when you need to use the sponge later. Baby shampoo and “gentle formula” organic shampoos work especially well, but most soaps that are safe for use on your skin or hair can be used here.

Fill a small saucepan with roughly 6 cups (1.5 L) of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.  Note that the saucepan should be about 2/3 full. Add more or less water as needed to get this amount. As with most boxed pasta, this is more water than the couscous will actually absorb. Using this much ensures even boiling, though. Sprinkle the salt into the water and drizzle in the oil. Let it the water simmer for another minute or so afterward.  You can add the oil and salt before you boil the water, but adding it after the water has already reached a boil will speed the process up because standard water boils faster than salt water. Don't be afraid to add lots of salt. Only a small amount of the salt will actually be absorbed by the couscous. You need to add the salt to the couscous now, though, so that it can seep into the couscous as it cooks and flavor it from the inside out. The oil helps prevent the couscous from sticking together. After adding the couscous, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer for about 8 minutes.  The couscous should be “al dente.” In other words, it should be mostly tender, with just a little firmness when you bite into it. Note that the overall cooking time can vary by brand. Follow the package instructions to determine the proper amount of time. Pour the contents of the saucepan through a fine mesh colander. Gently shake the colander back and forth to shake the excess water off the cooked couscous. Alternatively, you could also drain the Israeli couscous using nothing more than the saucepan and the lid. Position the lid so that it is only slightly askew on top of the saucepan. There should be a gap smaller than the average pearl of couscous in between the pan and the lid. Pour the water out into the sink through this gap. Wear oven mitts to protect yourself from the steam. If you want to liven the dish up, add a few dollops of butter and a generous helping of Parmesan cheese. Note, however, that couscous can be served without either.

Fill a sock with silica cat litter. Tie off the end with a piece of string, and then place one or two full socks near the front of your dashboard. This should absorb the moisture inside your car over night, preventing any fog buildup. Use the type of shaving cream that foams up when you squirt it out of the can or bottle. Spray a small amount of cream onto a soft cotton cloth and spread it over your entire windshield. Use a clean, dry rag to wipe it off. This should create a moisture barrier on your window, preventing fog build up. If your car is in a secure area, roll your windows down about a half inch or so. This allows some outside air to get in to the car, and can prevent the windshield from fogging. This method is best for the summer time, since you don’t want to risk any ice or snow getting into your car during the winter.

Fill a spray bottle or garden sprayer with plain, undiluted white vinegar and apply directly to the poison ivy.  As with chemical herbicides, vinegar can be applied to untrimmed leaves as well as cut stems. Vinegar will take longer to work than most chemical herbicides, but as long as you are willing to put in the extra time, the treatment should work. Combine 3 lbs (1350 g) of salt, 1 gallon (4 liters) of water, and 1/4 cup (60 ml) liquid soap in a garden sprayer. Apply the concoction directly to the poison ivy.  Use the treatment primarily on uncut leaves. You can also use it on cut stems, however, For an even stronger solution, add vinegar into the mix. Dissolve 1 cup (250 ml) of salt in 1 gallon (4 liters) of white vinegar over low heat. Once cool, stir in about 8 drops of liquid dish detergent and apply the solution to the poison ivy as a spray. Boil a kettle or pot of water and dump the hot liquid directly over the roots of the poison ivy plant.  This will need to be done on a daily basis, and it may take quite some time before the plant actually dies off. The boiling water can be dumped on the base of the plant, but for best results, dig away some of the soil surrounding the base to expose a portion of the roots directly. Note that even dead poison ivy plants have poisonous oils on them, so you should still take precaution when removing them. After removing or cutting down any poison ivy plants you notice in the area, scatter grass seed. When grass grows, the roots choke out the roots of the poison ivy, making it difficult if not impossible for the plant to come back. This treatment takes quite some time since the grass needs an adequate amount of time to grow. In the meantime, you should keep up on removing or cutting down poison ivy plants you see.
