Meeting your partner’s parents is a big step in any relationship. Have a conversation with your boyfriend and ask him how he feels about meeting your family. It’s normal for him to be a little nervous, but if he feels uncomfortable or wants to wait, you should respect his wishes. Try approaching the question by saying, “We’ve been dating for a little while now and I’d love for you to meet my parents.” Or, “My parents have been asking about you. Would it be okay if I set up a time to introduce you guys?” If you’ve brought home boyfriends before, you might have some idea of how your parents will act. Make sure to tell your boyfriend important details, like if your father will stare him down, or if your mom will ask him embarrassing questions. Give examples like, “My mom might tell you embarrassing stories about my from my childhood. It’s just what she does,” and, “My dad can be a little bit intense sometimes, but he means well.” Conversation will flow more smoothly if your boyfriend has some idea about who your parents are. Clue him in on your parents’ hobbies, jobs, and social lives to give him an insight into what to talk about. If you want to, you can help your boyfriend think of specific questions beforehand. Try preparing questions like, “I heard you like to knit a lot, Mrs. (Surname). Are you working on any projects right now?” Your parents will also be meeting a new person, so give them a heads up by telling them a little bit about your boyfriend. You don’t have to go into too much detail, but letting them know what he does for work and a little bit about his lifestyle will give your parents an idea of what to talk to him about as well. If your boyfriend has any interests that line up with your parents’, make sure to mention those. If your father and your boyfriend both like fishing, let your dad know so that they can talk about it. If your parents are formal or traditional, tell your boyfriend to wear a button down shirt and some nice pants. If they are more laid back, you can tell your boyfriend to...

Meeting your significant other’s parents is a nerve wracking task on its own. Try to schedule a time to meet when there won’t be a ton of other people around, like a family event or party. A one on one meeting will give your boyfriend and your parents a better chance to talk and get to know each other. This will probably also help lessen your boyfriend’s anxiety about meeting your parents, if he has any. If you’d like your parents to get to know your boyfriend in a private place, ask if you can meet up at their house. Offer to bring side dishes or drinks to a meal that they cook. Introducing your boyfriend at your parents’ house will feel more one on one than a public place. Float the idea to your parents by saying, “I’d love to get together at your guys’ house so that we can all get to know each other. We can bring some drinks if you don’t mind cooking!” Restaurants are a good place to meet because they are neural territory. Make a reservation at a restaurant and show up with your boyfriend so that he doesn’t have to wait with your parents without you. Bring up this idea by saying, “I don’t want anyone to have to worry about cooking a meal. Why don’t we meet up at one of our favorite restaurants?” If you want to take the pressure off of the conversation, try going out and doing an activity with your parents and your boyfriend, like bowling or mini golf. This gives the outing a goal and will create a bond between all of you as you work toward a similar goal. Doing an activity together also gives your meeting a timeline and lets you leave once the activity is done.

Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by your pineal gland located in your brain. It acts like a neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, to activate certain pathways in your brain. Its role in establishing a sleep cycle has been recognized; however, recent research indicates it may be involved in other body functions as well.  In the USA, melatonin is available over-the-counter as a dietary supplement and is therefore not regulated by the FDA. In most countries it is a prescription medication or it is unavailable. Other sleeping aids generally present several problems such as building tolerance, which means they eventually become less effective and you have to increase the dose. In this regard, melatonin presents a better alternative because it is a natural hormone for which you don't build up a tolerance. Melatonin can be used for circadian rhythm sleep disorders such as delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, which results in the inability to fall asleep before 2:00 am or later. It can also be used to help with sleep problems related to working night shifts, general insomnia, and jet lag.  Generally, melatonin is safe to take in an appropriate amount, often 1 mg or less, to help with these issues. However, if your sleep problems are severe or persist, talk to your doctor first. If you are on any other medications, you should also talk to your doctor before taking melatonin, as they may interact. There are some common side effects of melatonin. You may experience daytime sleepiness, headaches, or dizziness. There are also some less common side effects that you may experience. These include abdominal discomfort, mild anxiety, irritability, confusion and short-lasting feelings of depression. If you experience any persistent side effects, talk to your doctor. Melatonin comes in many forms. It comes in regular tablets or capsules. These can be time-release tablets, which slowly absorb into your body over a long period of time. These formulations may help with staying asleep during the night. You can also get...

Memories of your past will come to your mind from time to time. The more you try to not think about the past, the more you will think about your past.  Instead of trying to fight your thoughts, acknowledge and then redirect them.  Plan out what you will say to yourself when you have the thought.  If you start to think about the past, then you will do what? If thoughts of your past come to your mind, say to yourself, "It's okay. That was my past, but now I'm focused on _______." Mindfulness will help you focus on the present and have more control over your thoughts. The ability to focus your mind on thoughts of your choice will help you stop dwelling on your past. Practice mindful exercises when you find yourself stuck on your past.  Focusing on your  breath is one of the most common mindfulness exercises. Notice all of the physical sensations as you breath in and out. How does the air feel moving in and out of your nostrils? Your lungs? Notice how your chest rises. Commit to practicing mindfulness everyday. Consistent practice can help improve your mood and reduce the number of negative thoughts you have. If you are unable to stop thinking about your past, try to limit the time you spend on these thoughts. Pick a specific amount of time (e.g. 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes) and time of day that you will allow yourself to think about your past. Choose a time of day when you are usually relaxed.  For example, you may allow the thoughts from 5:00 pm -5:20 pm every evening. If you have a thought outside of this time, tell yourself that this is not the time and you will deal with it later. When you dwell on your past, you may have an irrational or distorted view (e.g. "everything is my fault," I'm a bad person," etc.) of what actually happened.  You may begin to accept these thoughts as truth and reality. If you begin to challenge your thoughts when they come, you can develop a more objective view. Ask yourself questions such as:  Is there a more positive way I can look at my situation? Is there evidence that...

Men and women tend to walk differently because of biological, physiological, and social differences. To walk more like a guy, make sure you:  Swing your hips less and your shoulders more Walk with your legs a little farther apart than you normally would Keep your elbows slightly winged out Project your head and chest slightly ahead so you're leading your walk with your upper body It’s always polite to have a firm handshake, but many people consider it even more important for guys than girls. To make sure you have a firm grip, don’t let your hand become limp when you're shaking. Keep your hand strong and engaged.  Don’t forget to make eye contact when you're shaking hands, as this is a sign of confidence and respect. A firm handshake is important any time you shake someone’s hand, including when you're first introduced, when you want to greet or bid farewell, or when you're congratulating. Again because of biological and social differences, men and women generally sit differently, and this includes on chairs, couches, seats, and on the ground.  To cross your legs, don’t cross one leg fully over the other. Instead, spread your knees apart a little and cross one ankle over the other. If you don’t want to cross your legs, keep your feet flat on the floor and your knees and feet slightly apart. When sitting, rest your hands on your knees or on the armrests. It is also common for many males to place their ankle on their knee when sitting down as an alternative to crossing them

Men are abused in about 10% of homes but often this abuse goes unreported. Men who are abused come from a variety of backgrounds, sexual orientations and living situations. Female abusers are far more likely to use control or emotional abuse against male partners than the reverse. It is wrong to assume the woman always gets the kids—if you want your kids with you, fight for them. In most states, you can file for an emergency order that would allow you to take the kids with you if you can provide proof that this is a better solution than staying with their mom.  There's a myth that the mother will automatically get custody. In fact, when fathers ask for custody, they often get it. (This includes situations in which there was no abuse.) Don't give up. You have a good chance. In general you have the right in most states to leave the home, but if you are married there may be legal things you need to do to set up the legal separation and custody. Without taking legal steps, you may not have the right to simply leave with the kids. You want to be informed about the legal issues you face to avoid further threats or manipulation by your partner. If you have sought out local support, many times these groups will have information about local law enforcement and laws. It is in your best interest to work with the legal system. They can assist with things like serving divorce papers or even a restraining order if you require one. Taking steps to quietly line up service right after you leave the home can help to avoid a bigger issue in front of children.

Men are attracted to confidence. In fact, many men find confidence more attractive than pure physical beauty. Try to be a bit more assertive about your interests, goals, and ideas. This will prove attractive to most men.  It's important that you feel confident and attractive when trying to gain the interest of a man. In other words, do not try to be something you're not. Be yourself and be upfront about your interests and passions. This goes for online dating as well. While a cute profile picture might get a man to click on your profile, he won't end up messaging you if you have generic information included in your "About Me" section. Let your personality show in your online dating presence as well. When first meeting someone, most people assess them visually. If you're trying to seduce a man, make sure you dress in a flattering fashion to get his attention.  Remember, confidence is key. If you don't feel sexy, you won't appear that way to a man. If you're more comfortable in jeans and tees than dresses, try picking a flattering, sexy casual outfit rather than forcing yourself into an evening gown. If you're unsure how to dress in a flattering way, try asking a stylist at a department store to help you pick outfits that work for your figure or frame. When trying to get a man's interest, eye contact is important. Men often gauge sexual or romantic interest based on a woman's eyes and facial expression. Some studies propose this is because women are less likely to show interest with their bodies. Maintaining eye contact for the night can show a man you're interested. Do not be afraid to use your body to flirt. This can help a man see you are interested in him sexually.  Sit up straight and do not lower your chin. This makes you look confident about your body. Do not be afraid to use gentle, light touches. Touch his arm or shoulder. Place your hand on his knee. Tug at his hair. You should always find ways to flirt when first meeting a man. A little flirtation can go a long way in getting him interested and...

Men can’t resist a woman who looks fabulous--why would an archer be any difference? Arches love women who are put together, dressed well, and sexy but without being too revealing. If you know your Sagittarius guy is going to be at a party or bar you are heading to, tonight might be the night to break out that flirty dress you haven’t worn yet and those sexy stilettos. No man (and certainly not an archer) will be able to resist you. Sagittarius guys love a woman who smells fresh and delicious (no but really--archer’s love girls who smell good enough to eat.) Try out scents with hints of citrus and orange blossom. You’ll have a whole swarm of archers humming around you as soon as you walk into the bar. Here’s a tip: always carry around a small bottle of perfume and a travel-sized deodorant. That way, even if you have to hike up 20 blocks to the party you are going to, you can refresh and smell great once you get to the top. Are your eyes a crazy shade of blue? Do you have gorgeous mile-long legs? Maybe your hair is a prize asset of yours. Whatever it is, make sure he notices. Wear clothes that play up your best features. Wear makeup that makes your eyes pop and style your hair to perfection. Archers love a woman who has confidence in herself. Know that you are a beautiful, strong, intelligent woman--and show them that you know this fact. A woman who knows she is sexy is a thousands times sexier than a woman who is fidgeting with her hair, clothes, face, etc.

Men who are serious about a relationship talk about the future and your role in it. Men who aren’t avoid the subject like the plague. He’s likely not planning on spending too much time with you if he doesn’t include you in the time ahead. For instance, if he refuses to talk about if he wants children or believes in marriage, he’s probably not in it for the long haul. He’s probably only planning to stick around for the time being, despite what he may tell you. He may tell you he wants a serious relationship, but his actions could prove otherwise. People who consider themselves to be a couple generally check in with the other person before making plans. Or, at least, they let the other person know. Your man may not be as serious as he claims if he doesn’t consider your plans when he’s making his. A red flag your significant other is full of it is if he goes away for the weekend and doesn’t tell you about it. Or, if he makes significant plans that could potentially affect you and doesn’t inform you of them. You’re not a factor in his mind if he doesn’t consider you when making these plans. Are you his “go-to” when it comes to bringing a date somewhere? If not, there’s a chance he’s not into the relationship as much as you may want. There shouldn’t be any question, particularly in a date situation, that you are his tag along. He’s probably full of it if there is. You may want to reconsider your relationship if he is taking other romantic interests to functions, especially if you think you are exclusive. People who have nothing to hide are pretty transparent. Those who constantly seem secretive, however, are probably full of it. He shouldn’t have to hide anything, unless he is lying about how he feels towards you. For instance, if he doesn’t want to tell you where he’s been or what he’s doing when you’re not together, doesn’t want to talk about his friends or social circle, or you find out things he’s done after the fact, he may not be the person you hoped he was.

Men younger than 40 have a rare incidence of prostate cancer, but the chances increase rapidly after 50 years of age. Statistics show that 6 out of 10 cases of prostate cancer are found in men 65 and older. It has been hypothesized that the increase risk with age may be due do DNA and anti-cancer protective mechanisms becoming weaker with age and thus more susceptible to cellular and genetic mutations. Mutations often lead to abnormal cells, such as cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is more common in men of African descent than in white or Hispanic men. Additionally, the age of the onset of prostate cancer is also earlier in black men. A study of 12,000 men showed that 8.3% of blacks and only 3.3% of white men were diagnosed when they were less than 50 years of age. Studies have also shown that black men also have higher PSA levels (prostate-specific antigen levels, which is one test used to determine a diagnosis) and more advanced stages of disease at the time of diagnosis. This may reflect a combination of dietary and genetic factors; however the exact cause is unknown. A positive family history plays a role in the development of prostate cancer. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer doubles a man's risk for developing the disease. The risk is higher in men with several affected relatives.  For example, men who have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations have a higher incidence of prostate cancer. The BRCA2 gene mutations seem to be associated with more aggressive and advanced stage of prostate cancer at time of diagnosis.  Studies have shown that certain mutations in inherited genes may potentially raise the risk for prostate cancer but accounts for a small fraction of cases. Men with diets high in animal fat may be at slightly higher risk of developing prostate cancer. Studies have shown that excess animal fat, especially from red meat and high-fat dairy, can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer. A diet low in fruits and vegetables...

Men's shirt sizes come in a two-part number. The first number listed on the tag of the shirt is the neck measurement, and the second one is the sleeve measurement. For example, a shirt may be sized as 16/34. Use both your neck and sleeve measurements to find the right size. If the shirts you are browsing don't offer an exact measurement but rather the traditional "small," "medium," or "large," options, you can use your measurements to find the equivalent in this style of sizing. Use the table below to determine the best size of shirt for you.

Meningitis is very serious. Symptoms can develop over the course of a few hours or over several days, but once you suspect that meningitis is the cause of these symptoms, you should seek emergency medical care at a hospital or clinic.  Full recovery often depends on prompt treatment, so you should never hesitate to seek medical care if meningitis is suspected. Since many of the symptoms associated with meningitis can also be caused by more common yet less serious illnesses, you may not catch the illness at its earliest stages. Once these symptoms worsen or are accompanied by meningitis-specific symptoms (stiff neck, rashes that won't fade), you should seek professional medical help. Only a doctor can confirm a case of meningitis. Your doctor or an emergency medical professional will most likely need to draw samples of blood or cerebrospinal fluid to test for meningitis.  In order to acquire cerebrospinal fluid, your doctor will need to puncture the space between two lumbar bones in your spinal cord with a syringe equipped with a special spinal needle. They will then draw out a small vial of fluid, which will then be tested to confirm meningitis.  Complete blood counts, blood cultures, urine tests, and chest x-rays may also be used to check for signs of infection. If bacterial meningitis is confirmed, your blood or cerebrospinal fluid may be used to grow a culture of the bacteria in the lab so that doctors can identify the specific strain of bacteria present. The strain of bacteria will determine the course of treatment and the type of antibiotics used.  Depending on the circumstances, doctors may also order a CT scan or MRI to look for swelling of brain tissue or brain damage. When bacterial meningitis or severe cases of viral meningitis are diagnosed, the patient will almost always be hospitalized. However, the need for hospitalization and the duration of a patient's stay will generally be determined by the type of meningitis and the severity of symptoms. During hospitalization, antibiotics, antiviral...

Menstrual cramps in the lower abdomen are experienced by women usually just before and/or during their periods. Sometimes they can be serious and indicate endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Lifestyle changes that can help relieve menstrual cramps include exercise, stress management, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol. In addition, studies have shown that vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-1 (thiamine), vitamin B-6, and magnesium supplements may reduce menstrual cramps. Pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, at regular doses starting the day before you get your period may help if your cramps are predictable. Try a 200-400 mg dose of ibuprofen up to 3 times per day. You can continue taking the medicine as directed by your doctor for 2 to 3 days or until your symptoms go away. If your cramps are severe, your doctor can also prescribe birth control, which can reduce the severity of your cramps. Try applying a warm heating pad on your lower abdomen for 15-20 minute increments. Some studies have found that acupuncture (inserting thin needles through your skin at strategic points) helps relieve menstrual cramps. In addition, some herbs such as fennel or chamomile may help with the cramps as well.

Mention 2-3 people who have helped to turn the event from an idea into reality. State their names and the role that each person played.  An example of acknowledging individual people is saying, “We couldn’t have pulled off this fundraiser without the hard work and dedication of Grace and Sally, who worked tirelessly from day 1 to make today a reality.” Avoid reading off a long list of people or sponsors, as your audience will begin to get bored. Stick to just a handful of highlights. Point out what's coming up later on in the event or over the next few days, if applicable. Pick the parts that are the most important, and give people encouragement about anything they should stick around for or pay special attention to.  For instance, at a conference, you might point out when the dinner will be held, or where particular sessions will take place. At a wedding reception, you might note when dancing will start or when the cake will be served. Welcome the guests again, but this time in a way that relates to the overview that you just mentioned. For example at an informal gathering you could say, "I'm excited to get to know all of the new faces here during our legendary cricket game!" For a more formal event, wish everyone a smooth transition for the next part of the event. Alternatively, you could end the body of your speech during an informal gathering by saying, “I can't wait to see you all out on the dancefloor!”

Metal is an extremely diverse genre of music that encompasses many distinct styles. Be aware of the most prominent styles and their unique characteristics. It may be that a certain subgenre of metal isn’t your cup of tea, while another really speaks to you. Diehard metal fans should at least be able to articulate the particulars of each major style.   Heavy metal is the progenitor of all other strains of metal. It is characterized by its mid-tempo rhythms, melodic, technical instrumentation and operatic vocals.  Power metal makes use of fantasy motifs such as dragons, wizards and warriors. It is notable for its powerful percussion, harmonic techniques and triumphant tone.  Thrash metal is an outgrowth of hardcore punk, and features blasting rhythms and chugging guitar riffs played at extremely high speeds. Owing to its roots in the mid-to-late 80s, thrash metal has an infatuation with themes like nuclear war, Armageddon, mutated monsters and cartoonish violence.  Doom metal takes cues from psychedelic rock and blues. It focuses on guitars heavily distorted with effects like “fuzz,” lo-fi analogue recording techniques and references to crime, nature, the supernatural and the occult.  Black metal is a form of extreme metal dealing with Satanic, medieval and occult subject matter. Black metal musicians are renowned for their theatrical costumes and black and white “corpse paint” that is meant to give them a ghastly appearance.  Death metal is usually played at a very low tuning and features guttural, growling vocals. Among its imagery, death, dismemberment, torture, and gruesome acts are prevalent.  Grindcore is a punishingly loud, distorted and often chaotic subgenre of metal known for its relentless pace and aggression. Grindcore vocals are typically growled or screamed at full volume. Browse the metal section at your neighborhood record store, or use an entertainment streaming service like YouTube or Spotify to begin your journey into metal music. If you’re interested in becoming a metalhead, it’s essential...

Microwaves make many things in our lives easier. But they don't come without potential hazards and it's important to read the instruction manual for your microwave to avoid harming yourself or others.  Contact the microwave's manufacturer if you have any questions. Check online for product manuals if you lost your instruction packet. See if there are specific suggestions on the type of containers or wrap you can use. For example, some microwaves can use specific types of aluminum foil, while others can't.  See if there are instructions or suggestions for specific foods. For example, most meats cannot be cooked at full power, but instead at half power for longer. If you want to cook prepared foods in your microwave, read the packaging instructions. In most cases, these containers can only be microwaved once and may also have specific heating requirements.  Vent containers if required by puncturing them with a fork or peeling back a corner of the plastic wrap.  Make sure you closely check the heating requirements. For example, some foods can only be cooked at 50% power and not following this could ruin your meal and your microwave. If you're going to use a covered dish to reheat food, it's arrangement in the container can affect the heating process. Arranging your food evenly within the container can help ensure uniform cooking and may help destroy harmful bacteria. In many cases, you may need to cover food you've prepared yourself to heat it in the microwave. Making sure you use safe types of covers and vent the container can ensure that you don't cause unsafe chemicals to leech into your food.  Choose plastic wrap that is labeled microwave-safe. However, never let it contact your food.  Consider using waxed or kitchen parchment paper, white paper towels or plates, or a domed microwave container to cover your food.  Loosen or vent the lid or any wrap to allow steam to escape.  Stay away from brown paper bags, newspaper, foam containers, and most aluminum foil as covers. Midway through the microwaving process,...

Milk thistle is an herb that may detox the liver. In turn, that may help your body process estrogen better. What that means is your hormones may be better balanced, so you may start ovulating more regularly. You can take 20 to 300 milligrams up to 3 times a day. Always ask your doctor if you can take supplements safely. Job's tears has been used in alternative medicine to induce ovulation. While most evidence is anecdotal, it may help you, too. Make a tea of the leaves by steeping them in hot water. You can also take the seeds as a supplement, which may also help induce ovulation. Chasteberry may help increase your chances of ovulating, as some women find it beneficial. It likely works by telling your body to produce more luteinizing hormone, which in turn promotes ovulation. Try taking 160 to 240 milligrams once a day in the morning. You shouldn't take this drug if you're also taking birth control pills or hormones. Ask your doctor about which days during your cycle you should take this herb. Some women find it helpful for ovulation. Try 750 milligrams once a day. Many women have luck using Chinese herbs to help induce ovulation. You should be able to find a Chinese herbal mixture specifically for fertility at Chinese herb stores. Look for ingredients like Dang Gui, Gan Cao, Bai Shao, and Chuan Xiong.  Speak to your healthcare provider, acupuncturist, or registered herbalist to determine the best combination of herbs for you. If needles don't bother you, acupuncture may help with ovulation. In some women, it lowers the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) when it is too high. For instance, if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), your FSH level might be too high, which in turn can mess up your cycle and how you ovulate. Don't worry. The needles used in acupuncture are very small, and most people don't find them painful.

Mind-mapping software and apps are rapidly expanding in their features. There are even some that are free with high capabilities. They allow for real-time virtual collaboration, brainstorming and discussion; map revision by other users; whiteboard, free-form drawing during meetings or presentations; personal use on your cellphone; management of complex projects from the ground up, scheduling, etc.  They range from  simple-to-use to probably requires training to realize the program’s potential. A couple of the top-rated programs are free. Others range from $4.99/month on up depending upon the features. They’re easy to modify, update and are orderly in appearance. You can often upload your own images. Generally, you can download them as a PDF, if not in a number of other formats. Their features vary, which can limit the free-flowing nature of mind mapping. So, for example, one program might allow you to insert an arrow from one sub-category to another while another doesn’t offer this option. The ability to make those types of visual links is quite important in mind mapping.  Most don’t allow you to draw with anything other than your mouse. They can also take time to learn and be expensive. and handwriting enhances cognition and memory. Test the waters by creating mind maps in free software programs. This will give you a baseline idea of their capabilities. It will also help you determine if you think they’re useful enough to upgrade to those that aren’t free but offer more functions. Also read reviews online to see which programs people like for what types of issues. One program or app might be great for collaborating with co-workers but not very useful for keeping track of a project’s progress. Some free mind mapping software you can try includes Coggle, MindMapple, and NovaMind.

Mineral deposits collect in the fine mesh and holes of the shower head's screening material and disk, disrupting water flow. This usually consists of hardened lime and particulate matter. Then remove it. The internal parts will come apart easily, but getting the shower head off the pipe may require a wrench. This will let you know how to reassemble it once the parts have been cleaned. The washer will seat with a specific orientation, so be sure to note which way it was turned. Draw a diagram of the parts and where they go, to ensure you don't forget (take a digital photo of this diagram and you'll always be able to find it for each subsequent clean). If you see a large buildup of lime, heat the vinegar in the microwave beforehand until it's hot to the touch. The cleaning process will probably take five or six hours, so plan on performing the repair when the shower won't be needed. Most of the lime will dissolve, although there may be residue caught in the screen's mesh, embedded in the threads, and in the small holes around the disk. Soak the parts again for a few minutes and rinse. Apply silicone grease to the threads. Turn the water on and inspect for leaks. In order to keep the shower head flowing freely, plan on making this a yearly chore. This procedure will also work on faucets, toilets, and your refrigerator's water dispenser. If you can't immerse an object in vinegar, saturate a cloth and wrap it around the area you want to clean.

Minks travel more than most furbearers, covering up to ten miles a night. They normally follow a definite route. They will usually visit the same spots near water areas every time they are near them. Learning a mink's travel habits will make it easier for you to trap it. Live traps catch the mink without killing it. Lethal traps dispatch the mink. When selecting the type of trap you are going to use, decide if you want to deal with an alive and probably very irritated mink or if you want the trap to dispatch the mink. Check your state regulations regarding using lethal traps on minks. The set is what you will use to lure the mink into your trap. The most common sets either lure the mink to a dark hole using bait (pocket set) or trap the mink on its pathways (blind set). There are different types of traps to choose from based on the environment. A body-gripping trap is designed to allow the animal’s head, neck, or torso into the trap’s opening. This trap holds the mink by compressing its jaws around the body. The foothold trap, such as the longspring or coilspring, is a steel-jawed trap that restrains mink by the foot. Use a No. 11 double longspring, No. 1 ½ coil spring, or a No. 110 Conibear body-gripping trap. These traps are the most effective in trapping and killing the mink.

Mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of dish soap, 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of white vinegar, and 2 cups (470 mL) of cold water in a bowl and stir to combine completely. Then, use a clean sponge to dab the solution onto the stain. Blot the stain for a few seconds with more solution and a clean paper towel every 5 minutes for 30 minutes, letting it rest in between blotting. Then, pour cold water over the stain to flush the solution. Dab the fabric with a clean paper towel to dry the area. White vinegar and dish soap solution is generally effective at removing permanent marker stains on synthetic fabrics, such as upholstery fabrics and synthetic carpets. Stir 1 tablespoon (14.4 grams) of baking soda into 1⁄3 cup (79 mL) of cold water to make a paste. Then, spread the paste evenly over the stain. Gently rub the paste into the stain in a circular motion. Let it sit on the stain for about 15 minutes to an hour, then wash in the washing machine as usual.  Baking soda can be used to remove permanent marker stains from upholstery and carpets, as well as clothing fabrics. You can also try a baking soda toothpaste instead of making your own paste. However, because toothpaste may contain other ingredients that could affect the fabric, make sure that you test it out on a spot that isn't visible first. If your fabric is not machine washable, try sprinkling baking soda on the stain until it is covered. Use a toothbrush to scrub the baking soda into the fabric until the stain starts to lift, then use cold water to flush the baking soda off the fabric. Fill a bowl with regular cow's milk. Then, put the entire marker-stained portion of the fabric into the bowl. Make sure that it is completely saturated in the milk. Let the stain soak in the milk for about 15 minutes, then remove it and wash in the washing machine as usual. Because milk can sour and cause a bad smell, make sure that you are able to machine wash or thoroughly clean the milk from the stained fabric after the stain has lifted.

Mix 2 cups (400g) granulated white sugar into 1 cup (240mL) water. Bring the solution to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. For the best flavor, scrape out a whole vanilla bean, mix in the goo, then drop the empty pod in as well. You can substitute 1 tbsp (15mL) vanilla extract instead, or use vanilla paste as directed on the label. Not all extracts are created equal, and in cold drinks like this the flavor difference is obvious. In the US, look for "vanilla extract" (or "vanilla flavor" for an alcohol-free option), and avoid "imitation vanilla." In Europe, look for anything labeled "natural." Most vanilla extracts from Latin America are inferior products, although often cheaper. Stir in ⅛ tsp (0.6mL) lemon juice or cream of tartar. This will "invert" the syrup, which makes it sweeter, helps the sugar dissolve, and increases shelf life. This ingredient goes back to at least 1852, and might be the reason it's called "cream soda." Some modern commercial sodas use it as well, so you might be familiar with the taste. There may be some health concerns related to the "unbounded fructose" in inverted sugar. Consider asking your doctor first if you have diabetes. Simmer over medium-high heat, reducing heat if bubbles are building up above the surface. The mixture is ready when a candy thermometer reads 220ºF (104ºC), or when it's syrupy, brown, and covered in small, thick bubbles.  If you don't have a candy thermometer, you might want to take the pan off the heat while the syrup is still clear or light brown, to prevent burning. The lighter the syrup is, the less caramel flavor the soda will have. Sugar syrup gets dangerously hot. Handle with care and keep away from children. Move the pan to another burner and wait for it to cool to a safer temperature. This gives the syrup time to absorb the vanilla, which is the main flavor of cream soda. When you're ready to drink your soda, stir the syrup into carbonated water (seltzer) and ice. Try 1–2 tbsp syrup per 12 oz glass (15–30mL per 360mL), then experiment to...

Mix 2 cups (470 ml) brown basmati rice, 2.5 cups (590 ml) of water and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt in the pressure cooker and turn the burner to medium-high or high heat to reach high pressure. Begin timing when the pressure cooker reaches high pressure.  Various models will have different types of valves to alert you when the pressure cooker is at high pressure. Those with spring valves generally have a bar or rod that rises; jiggler valves will rock and jiggle slowly at first and then rapidly; weight-modified valves will whistle and hiss as they lift up and down. Reduce the burner's temperature until the pressure cooker has stabilized and let the rice keep cooking. The total time from reaching high pressure until you're done should be between 12-15 minutes. Again, the time depends upon the amount of time you pre-soaked the rice. Allow the temperature and pressure to drop naturally for about 10-15 minutes after turning off the heat. The safety-locking mechanism will disengage or an indicator will alert you that the pressure has dropped.  Alternatively, put on oven mitts and place the pressure cooker in the sink. Run cold water over it to decrease the pressure. Then remove the valve and push the button/twist/press the lever to release water vapor and any remaining pressure.  Either way, be careful while doing this and know from where the vapor will shoot out so you aren't burned. Use a fork to fluff the rice and serve now, or refrigerate or freeze for later use.

Mix 20-25 drops of tea tree oil with 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle.  Shake the mixture well before using.  You can spray this mixture onto different surfaces, and then wipe the surface down with a clean cloth.  This cleaner can be used as an all-purpose, non-toxic cleaner in kitchens and bathrooms. Always shake well before using because the oil naturally separates from the vinegar and water. Trashcans can develop an unpleasant scent and are a breeding ground for bacteria.  Mix one cup of baking soda with 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon of tea tree oil. Use a fork to work out all of the lumps.  Shake the mixture into a fresh trash bag to reduce odor.  This a natural deodorizer. This deodorizer also works for diaper pails. Mildew grows on damp, warm surfaces.  It tends to be white or black in color with a fuzzy texture.  Mix 5-10 drops of tea tree oil and 1 cup of water in a spray bottle.  Shake the mixture and then spray onto the mildew.  Allow the mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes and then wipe with a damp cloth. The tea tree oil should prevent mildew from forming in the future, but reapply the mixture as needed. Washing machines can develop an odor and house bacteria. Run your empty machine on the hot cycle and add 10-15 drops of tea tree oil. This will get rid of any bacteria or odor. You an also add 2-3 drops of tea tree oil to a load of clothes to clean your clothes more effectively. Apply 5 drops of tea tree oil to wool dryer balls or 5 inch (12.7 cm) cotton squares (use an old T-shirt to create the homemade sheets).  Add the balls or homemade dryer sheets to a load of clothes.  These sheets and balls are reusable. Add a few more drops to the sheets or balls when you can no longer smell the tea tree oil. Many pests do not like the smell of tea tree oil.  Add about 20 drops to a spray bottle and then fill the bottle with water.  Shake well, and spray around doorways and cracks where insects and pests are likely to enter.

Mix a ½ teaspoon of vitamin C powder with 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of distilled water in a small container. Make sure to mix the ingredients together until the powder is completely dissolved, to avoid a grainy mixture.  Only use distilled water, not just filtered tap water or plain tap water. This is because the high oxygen levels in tap water can break down the ingredients faster. Note that your water and vitamin C mixture will only be good for 2 weeks when refrigerated, and beyond that time period the serum should be discarded. The function of glycerin is to make the solution smoother and moisturize the skin. Add 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of vegetable glycerin to the mixture. If you already included glycerin in the original mixture, you should include less water.  In this case, the mixture will include 1 teaspoon of distilled water instead of 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of distilled water. Note that when glycerin is included, the mixture lasts for a month. Now, you are ready to store your vitamin C cream. Place it into the refrigerator to preserve its effectiveness and prevent breakdown. Darker bottles are better, because exposing vitamin C to light will decrease its potency and oxidize it quickly, making it less effective.

Mix enough baking soda and water together to form a paste a little bit thicker than toothpaste. This will require slightly more baking soda than water. Once the paste is mixed, apply to rusted material and begin working in with an abrasive, such as steel wool or a toothbrush. Wipe off and inspect the site. You may need to use several applications of your baking soda paste in order to see results, but the process definitely works. Achieve the same consistency as the baking soda paste by using slightly more cream of tartar than hydrogen peroxide. Apply to rusted material, work in with an abrasive, and then wipe off. If you do not have hydrogen peroxide, you can also use water to similar effect. The active rust-busting ingredient here is cream of tartar.

Mix for a minimum of 5 minutes, until you've achieved the consistency of mashed potatoes. Too wet and your mortar will lose strength. Too dry and your mortar will seize up too quickly. It's helpful to do a dry run and think about the layout of the stones as they will appear on the wall. Spending a little extra time configuring their placement now will save you the headache of excessive trimming later. If it's helpful, do the dry run on the ground instead of trying to hold the stones up against the wall. The basic arrangement of the stones should transfer. The stones themselves should be fairly easy to shape. You will be able to hide the trimmed edges later, using grout, so don't worry if the edges aren't perfectly rounded. The grout adheres much better to completely clean surfaces. If necessary, use a masonry brush to lightly moisten the stone, but do not saturate it. This will prevent the stones from drawing moisture away from the mortar, which will allow it to set up with a naturally stronger bond. Try to keep the backbuttered mortar about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) thick. If you happen to get any mortar on the face of the stone, wipe it away with a damp towel before it dries. Turn any trimmed edges either directly up or down, away from the focal point. Press the stones into the mortar, twisting them slightly to squeeze out some of the excess and strengthen the bond. Use a trowel, joint tool, or brush to remove any excess mortar that has been forced beyond the finished joint, or onto the surface of the stone itself. Keep the joints consistent to achieve the most appealing result. You probably want your joints to be between 1 and 3 inches (2.5 and 7.5 cm) long. Take period breaks; step back and prospect your work every so often. If you are installing veneer across more than one face of a wall, consider getting cornerstone pieces. Most stone veneer manufacturers make them, and they add an easy naturalness to the project.

Mix grease-cutting dish detergent into warm water until you get suds. Place the tools into the soapy water. While the tools are submerged, scrub them using a sponge or rag until the oil and dirt are gone, then remove the tools from the water.  The soap and water should mix more easily if you pour the detergent into the bowl before adding the water. Dry the items well enough for you to grip them while you sand the rust. Look for the thick patches of rust and start there. While you’ll clean away all of the rust, the process is easier if you work from thick rust to surface rust. For example, you’ll want to scrub off the flakes of rust before you attack the inset rust. Choose a coarse grit to begin scrubbing as it will make it easier for you to scrape off the rust. If the sandpaper gets dull, switch to a new sheet. Work over your piece with the fine-grit sandpaper to remove any fine speckles of rust and restore the shine to the metal. The softer quality of the paper should prevent damaging the metal of the tool. If your tool still has rust, then you may need to try a chemical remover. Once all of the rust has been sanded away, rinse your tools under clean running water to remove any debris. Dry them using a clean cloth or rag, making sure that no wetness remains.  If you do not get your tools completely dry, more rust can develop. Use WD-40 on your dry tools to remove any residual moisture.

Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with one to two tablespoons of warm water. Liberally apply the paste to the area of the sting and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes. The baking soda paste should reduce itching and other discomfort.  Reapply the paste every couple of hours. If the baking soda fails to alleviate your symptoms, rinse the baking soda paste off and then apply a liberal amount of hydrocortisone cream. Allow the cream to sit. It may take up to an hour for it to sooth the sting site. Reapply the cream according to the instructions on the product. If hydrocortisone cream also fails, wash thoroughly, and then apply a liberal amount of antihistamine cream. Wait for up to half an hour to see if you notice a difference. In many cases, antihistamine creams have proven ineffective in soothing the symptoms of a caterpillar sting, however you may find that the cream works for you. After you have applied the baking soda paste or a cream, you can put a cold compress on the site of the sting. Place a bag of ice or frozen vegetables on the site of the sting for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Reapply the cold compress every hour or two.

Mix rum with just 1 other beverage, such as a soda. This is an easy way to enjoy any quality of rum. It’s also a drink that can be made at virtually any bar.  Go for the classic Rum and Coke by starting with approximately 2  fl oz (59 mL) of light or dark rum and adding a dark cola to taste. Pour over ice, garnish with a lime wedge, and serve. Try a spicier mixed drink, called a Dark 'n’ Stormy, by filling a highball glass with ice, adding 2 shots of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum, and topping it off with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve. (Note that Gosling Brother's Ltd. trademarked the name of this drink, so legally, it must be made with Gosling's rum.) Try a classic rum cocktail, the mojito. Use light rum, mint leaves, lime, sugar, and club soda for this refreshing drink.  Put several wedges of lime and fresh mint leaves into a glass and muddle them to release their flavors if you wish. Add ice and 2  fl oz (59 mL) of light rum. Fill the rest of the glass with club soda, then stir in sugar to taste.  Try adding other fruit flavors to a mojito, like strawberry or pineapple, by adding either the fresh fruit or juice. Make a daiquiri by mixing light rum with fresh lime juice and simple syrup (sugar boiled into a syrup consistency). This drink typically uses nearly any combination of fruit juices with the basic ingredients.  Build on the basic recipe of 2  fl oz (59 mL) of light rum, 3⁄4  fl oz (22 mL) of fresh lime juice, and 1⁄4  fl oz (7.4 mL) of simple syrup with fruits like banana, strawberry, pineapple, etc. Line the rim of a glass with brown sugar and a fresh wedge of whatever fruit you use for a common daiquiri presentation. Serve the drink neat in a martini glass. Make a Mai Tai by using a few more specialty ingredients than other rum cocktails. Use orgeat—a high-quality almond sugar syrup—and orange curacao—a liqueur from a dried citrus peel—to make this refreshing drink.  Combine 2  fl oz (59 mL) of dark rum with 3⁄4  fl oz (22 mL) of lime juice, 1⁄4  fl oz (7.4 mL) of simple syrup,...

Mix the vegetable oil, onion, parsley, salt, mustard, and basil in a small bowl. Also add the peel and juice of one lemon. Stir or whisk well to combine. Pour 1/3 cup (80 ml) of the marinade into a small dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Set this portion aside for a later step. Place the frog legs in a single layer inside a baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the legs and cover will plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for 3 hours.  The frog legs must be in a single layer. Otherwise, they may not marinate evenly. Use tongs to occasionally turn the frog legs in the marinade as they sit in the refrigerator. Brush the grill with additional vegetable oil and preheat it to medium heat.  If using a gas grill, preheat all the burners of the grill to a medium setting. If using a charcoal grill, lay two layers or so of charcoal briquettes along the bottom of the grill. Light and let the flame burn away until a light layer of ash forms on the charcoal. Drain the frog legs and transfer them to the hot grill. Cover the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Turn them over and close the grill again, cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes. There should be no further traces of pink meat when the legs have finished cooking. Additionally, the meat should begin to separate from the bones will little effort once done. Heat the reserved marinade with the butter and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted, stirring often. This should take about 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer the frog legs to a serving plate and drizzle the butter mixture over or around them.

Mix together room temperature water with a few drops of mild soap or dish detergent. Stir the solution until suds are formed. Use a clean washcloth or sponge and dip it into the soap solution. Squeeze the sponge so that it is damp, but not dripping wet. Gently blot the stain with the soapy sponge or cloth. Do not rub the stain because this can actually push the stain further into the leather or spread the stain to a larger surface area. Then, wet a new cloth with water and dab the stain to remove any excess soap that may be left on the leather. Use a dry washcloth or towel to blot the cleaned area until the surface is dry.

Mix up just enough epoxy to cover the joints between the panels. This is done by using a mixing cup (8oz.) and a stick. Then use a foam paint brush to apply the epoxy to the joints.  Try to cover each edge about an inch on either side of the joint, making sure that it soaks into the joint to get a good bond. Make it look like you're painting a strip down the joint. Remember that the joints of the panels and stems only get epoxied on the inside for now. Repeat this process for each of the joints. Try not to let the epoxy run down the sides of the panels -- you only want it on the joint, no runs. If you have any runs, use another brush to wipe them up. This just makes life easier when it comes to sanding the inside of the boat. Remember to check the outside of the seams for runs as well. Put two coats of epoxy on the joints and stems (stems are the ends of the boat), letting the epoxy dry before re-coating. Be sure the stems are pulled tightly together (using the stitches) before applying the epoxy. Don't use clamps to pull the stems ends together, stitches only! Each coat of epoxy needs about 24 hours to dry, so try to have a little patience while dreaming of that smooth glassy lake! When the epoxy is dry, check to ensure that the joints are fully epoxied with no dry spots (areas without epoxy). If they are, you can start cutting and pulling out the wire stitches.  Do this with care, as the panels' joints are still fragile at this point. Try not to break the epoxy join, and don't leave any wire in the boat. If you pull out a wire and the joint opens, put a stitch  back in and epoxy that joint area again. Once all of the wire is out, mix up some epoxy and wood flour (very fine sawdust). You can find wood flour at any boat building supplier. This mixture is known as a fillet.  Mix the wood flour and epoxy to a smooth creamy mixture -- it shouldn't be runny. Apply this fillet to the joints that you put the epoxy on. Make a nice smooth bead about 1-1/2-2" wide over the center of each joint, then apply a smooth...

Mix your patterns up just a little bit, based on your list of changeable routines.  Take a different route to work. Bring your lunch instead of visiting the cafeteria. Call a friend and meet for drinks downtown instead of going straight home after work. Study in the library instead of at a coffee shop. Does it make you feel any better? More anxious? Often a lack of spontaneity leads to feelings of loneliness. We think everyone else is out having fun and you're stuck at home. Yet, when you're thinking of making plans, you go solo. Invite people along for simple things. If a few beers on the porch is an average night for you, it can suddenly be a significant event if it includes an old friend from high school. Catch up, make plans to do more. Spontaneity involves "keeping people guessing" as much as it does keeping yourself entertained. Next time someone asks about your weekend, try saying something like, "It was thoroughly exhausting. And yours?" Cryptic responses to questions will make people curious about you and how you spend your time, drawing them in and giving you more options for spontaneous adventures. If you develop a craving to eat pizza late at night or to become a vegetarian over the weekend, what's stopping you? It's easy to come up with reasons not to do things. Instead of worrying about whether your whim will eventually fail or whether you'll regret eating after 10pm, just do it. If you find yourself regretting not acting on these whims, especially, learn to recognize them and act upon them. When talking with friends, it can be easy to make vague plans for the future: "We should go camping sometime" or "Let's meet for lunch soon." Instead of doing this, decide on a date and an activity and set it. Turn "I hope we do something for spring break" into "Let's book a flight right now." Alternatively, if you are a habitual and intricate planner, decide to actively NOT plan. Maybe say you'll meet up with someone later, but don't think of anything to do together. Meet in an unfamiliar part of town and...

Mixing boric acid powder or borax with maple syrup is the most common bait; some popular commercial ant poisons essential monetize this mix. Boric acid affects ants both externally (when in powder form; similar to diatomaceous earth) and internally (when ingested). The ants bring the poison (borax or boric acid) with them to the colony and spread it around. If you get the quantity and timing just right, you can wipe out a large colony, but it might take anywhere from several weeks to a few months. A bait that's too strong will kill the ants before they make it home, and a bait that's too weak will only weaken the colony temporarily. Be intentional about your increments. The idea is for the poison to spread all throughout the colony before it begins to kill the unwitting ants. The boric acid kills the ants; the water dilutes the boric acid; and the sugar attracts the ants. Try the following recipes:  Mix 1 cup water, 2 cups sugar, and 2 tablespoons boric acid. Mix 3 cups of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 4 teaspoons of boric acid. Try letting the mixture sit in an upturned lid or a low dish for easy access. If you have pets or small children, leave the bait in a container that will allow ants to enter, but isn't wide enough for larger creatures to get at the poison. Carefully shake the poison into the bottom of a metal can. Crush one side of the can, but leave a gap that is just thin enough for ants to get inside. Remove any deterrents, if you used them; the idea of baiting is to attract the ants so that they'll defeat themselves. Don't lure new ants with the bait, or else you might attract new colonies. Once there's a line of busy ant scavengers, place the bait next to the trail. The mass of ants will shift to swirl around the bait. Keep moving it further from your kitchen and closer to where the ants are entering your home. Be careful not to place the bait directly on top of the ant trail. You'll confuse them and interrupt their march home, making your baiting strategy less effective.

Modelling should include the exact words and phrases which the child can understand, pick up and reproduce. This helps them learn how to phrase the things they want to say.  For example: you already know that the child dislikes playing with a certain toy, but in order to teach them to express it verbally, you can offer the toy and then keep using phrases or words such as "no thank you," or "I don't want to." When the child uses the desired phrase, give the desired outcome. For example, if the child successfully says "I want more please," then give them more. If you repeat the phrase several times and the child does not respond, do the desired action. The child will start associating the phrase with the action. Then try again later. In time, the child will start using the phrase. If you intend to give your child a snack or if it is time for the child to drink the milk, then you could model by saying “I want to drink ____ (point to the milk and say “milk”). Or say, “I would like a ____” (point to the snack and say “snack”). In time, the child will fill in the blank by themselves. It is best to avoid questions such as “Do you want this?” or “Do you want help?” because they will repeat the questions. Instead, say what they should say. For example: if you see them trying to reach something, instead of asking “Do you want me to help you?” try saying, “Help me reach my toy, please,” or “Please lift me up so I can reach my book.” Encourage them to repeat the phrase. Then, whether the child repeats it or not, help them. The child will start repeating it after you and it won’t make sense. When saying “Hi!” or “Goodnight!” simply say the word and don’t say their name after it. Or, you can say their name first and then pause and say what you intend to say last. When the child needs to be commended for a job well done, then instead of using the name of the child, use the congratulatory word alone. Instead of “Great job Alex!” just say “Great job!” or show it through actions in the form of kisses, a pat on the back, or a...

Moisture will help your nails recover after a gel manicure, which strips them of a lot of their natural moisture. You can buy nail moisturizer at a local beauty supply store or department store. You should apply a nail moisturizer each day. Apply it to your nails and the skin around them.  Look for a fortifying nail and cuticle cream that contains peptide, which hydrates and strengthens nails. As washing your hands dries out your nails, apply moisturizer each time you wash your hands. Be sure to dry them thoroughly after washing, too as this minimizes how dry your nail can get. Once a week, soak your nails in warm milk. Milk will whiten your nails, removing color residue. It will also strengthen your nails as they absorb the milk's nutrients.  Warm your milk in a bowl, using enough milk to submerge your nails. You can microwave your milk or warm it over the stove. Your milk should be warm to the touch, but not so hot that you can't comfortably rest your fingers in it. Soak your nails for five minutes. Then rinse them and dry them thoroughly. Moisturize your nails when you're done. After nails have a gel manicure, they may have ridges and other uneven edges. It's important to use a nail buffer to smooth out nails, focusing particularly on ridges. Do so every other day until your nails have healed. Buffing also promotes blood circulation, which can strengthen nails. You can buy keratin gloves at a beauty supply store or online. They are an excellent means to strengthen nails after a gel manicure. Use the gloves for the time recommended on the package. The gloves can be worn during leisurely activities, like reading and watching television.

Monad is a great place to level up, but it's only available once you've reached the top floor of the Adamah Block, floors 215–254 of Tartarus. It's recommended that you be at least level 60 before you enter Monad.  Winning one battle in Monad at level 65 can boost your level up to 72 in an instant. In Persona 3 FES, you will need to defeat the Reaper at the top of Tartarus in order to unlock access to Monad. It is immediately available if you start New Game+ mode in Persona 3 FES. The most essential party member for this method is Alice, as she has the "Die for me!" skill. It is much like Mamudoon (instant death to all enemies), except that it gives a higher chance of success. This skill will be essential for ensuring that the enemies don't get a hit on you. Chances are you are going to die often, so you'll want a save file that you can quickly restore to. It is located at the first floor of Tartarus, that huge double door at the right side of the stairs. You can't miss it. Find a shadow and make sure you get a preemptive strike by striking it from behind. The shadows at Monad range from levels 88–98, making it a great place to level-grind with instant kill spells. However, failure to get preemptive strikes will also cause your party to die instantly. If a Grand Magus, Vehement Idol, Chaos Cyclops, or a Void Giant appears at the higher floors, immediately abort the battle. These four shadows will either block or reflect your "Die for me!" skill. If you encounter enemies that cannot block or reflect Dark Spell, start spamming "Die for me!" until you win the battle. "Die for me!" gives an 80% chance to instantly kill shadows via Darkness magic.

Money trees grow the most during the spring and summer, and seasonal fertilizing will help keep your money tree healthy as it grows. Use a liquid fertilizer and cut the recommended dose on the label in half. Stop fertilizing at the end of the summer. Your money tree doesn't need fertilizer outside of the growing season because its growth slows down, so it needs less nutrients. Make sure you're cutting the dose of liquid fertilizer in half. The recommended dosage on the packaging is the maximum amount intended for plants growing in perfect conditions. Using the full dosage may be too much for your plant and it could have negative effects. A pot that's a lot larger than your money tree will hold too much soil and moisture, which can lead to root rot. When you repot your money tree, choose a pot that's slightly bigger than the pot it was previously in. Drainage holes allow excess water to drain out of the pot and into a tray beneath it. Money trees are prone to root rot, which is caused by too much water, so it's important your money tree has plenty of drainage. When you're shopping for pots, look down inside of them at the bottom of the pot. If there aren't any drainage holes, look for another pot that has some. Use a premade bonsai soil mix, or make your own potting mix using a peat-moss based potting soil. Just add sand or other organic material to the peat-moss based potting soil. The peat moss will help the soil retain moisture, and the sand or perlite will help with drainage. To repot your money tree, carefully dig out the roots and soil from the pot it's in, taking care to stay near the edges of the pot so you don't damage the roots. Then, transfer your money tree to a new pot and add new soil to fill in the extra space. If you notice your money tree's roots growing out of the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot it.

Mop and rinse the damaged area with fresh, warm water if vacuuming or sweeping the area does not remove the dirt.     Consult the manufacturer of the vinyl flooring for further direction on cleaning products that are safe to use if neither of the vacuuming or mopping methods do not remove all the dirt. These products will help fill and seal any scrapes or cuts, preventing the lower layers of the vinyl flooring from deteriorating further.

Morning sickness can strike early in a pregnancy. Despite its name, morning sickness doesn't just happen in the morning. You may have an upset stomach any time of day. Your may also experience some vomiting. This symptom can strike as early as 2 weeks after conception. You may start noticing you suddenly don't like certain foods or smells. It will come out of the blue, and you may have been just fine with them before. In fact, these foods or smells may make you nauseated. Often, you will find you are much hungrier if you are pregnant. If you notice you are eating more than normal and still find yourself hungry, you may be pregnant. Some women describe this symptom as a constant hunger. Sometimes, women experience having a metallic taste in their mouths. This symptom is especially prevalent in the early stages of pregnancy. Like food aversions, you may start craving certain foods. Of course, everyone gets a craving for a certain food every now and then. Nonetheless, pregnancy cravings tend to be more intense. Sometimes, you may notice you get out of breath more quickly in the early stages of pregnancy. Usually, this symptom is mild. However, if you do notice this symptom, it's definitely a sign you should see your doctor.

Most "warm-season" grasses go dormant and brown in cool temperatures, while "cool-season" grasses will not stay green during summer heat. Decide which type is best for your climate, or consult a local experienced in planting lawns, or based on the current time of year and temperature.  Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescues, should be sown in autumn, when upper soil temperatures are between 68 and 86ºF (20–30ºC).  Warm-season grasses, such as bahiagrass, centipede grass, carpet grass, and buffalo grass are best sown in spring or summer, when upper soil temperature is between 68 and 95ºF (20–35ºC). If you have one particular look in mind, you may want to pick a single grass species. More commonly, grass seeds are sold in blends (varieties of a single species) or mixtures (combinations of multiple species) to provide better resilience to disease and environmental factors. Browse blends and mixtures to find one suited to your lawn's sunlight levels, your preferred grass texture, drought resistance, and durability to foot traffic. Avoid purchasing low-quality seed blends using the following tips:  Look for advertised germination percentages above 75%, and an expiration date no more than ten months in the past, for best sprouting results.  Look for grass seed containing less than 0.5% weed seeds. Avoid annual ryegrass, which dies permanently in winter. Avoid rough "agricultural" perennial ryegrass, or mixtures that include more than 20% of any type of ryegrass, or it can take over your lawn with its rough texture and appearance.  Avoid grass seeds sold without an identifying variety. Divide large lawns into sections measuring approximately 20 ft x 20 ft (6m x 6m). Work on each section separately, following the steps below for that section before moving on to the next one. This lets you divide your work into multiple work sessions if necessary, while ensuring that every section receives all the care it needs. Spread grass seed using a seed distributor or lawn spreader if possible, to...

Most babies are pretty easy and willing to be put into a baby walker, but some may be a little resistant. The resistant babies might just be having a bad day and not be interested in exploring something new, or they could possibly be afraid of it.  If they are really adamant about not going in the baby walker, the parent can sit on the floor near the baby walker and hold the baby on their lap so that they can see and touch it. If there are toys on the baby walker, the parent can use an excited voice while playing with the toys in order to get the baby interested. When the baby is comfortable with the baby walker, whether at the initial try or after acclimating, the parent should gently lift the baby and lower them into the seat part of the baby walker.  It is important that each of the baby’s legs goes into a separate leg hole and that their toes do not get caught anywhere. Once the baby’s bottom is resting in the seat of the walker, the parent needs to fasten the restraining belt because it will help to prevent the baby from sliding out of position. If the baby just sits in the walker, it is probably because they haven't yet realized their new ability to stand up without falling.  One way to encourage the baby to stand is for the parent to hold the baby by the waist and stand them up and then move their hands away from the baby.  Another way a parent can encourage standing is to allow the baby to use the parent’s hands to pull themselves up. After several attempts, the baby will usually get the idea that it is safe to stand while in the baby walker. Babies that are not attempting to stand on their own may just need a little more patience and encouragement from the parents. Learning to stand while in the walker is only half of the equation. In order for it to be purposeful, the baby still needs to learn how to get the walker to move.  For most, the initial movement is rather accidental. The excitement causes them to kick their feet and that motion thrusts the baby walker into action. However, other babies...

Most beaches around the world have a type of beach crab that you can find along the shore. They vary in color, from the typically dark green common shore crab in England to the invasive Asian shore crab that has spread from its natural (and non-invasive) habitat in Asia to the east coast of the United States.  While you can find these crabs on most beaches, the rockier ones tend to be better for finding them, as the crabs like to hide under the rocks. Make sure you bring along a pail and small trowel or gloves. You don't really want to pick up the crabs with your bare hands, because they can pinch you, even the little crabs. The really small shore crabs can hide under little rocks, or burrow into the sand, but the best places to find them are under larger rocks. They like to hide under these rocks and when you turn the rock over, they tend to go scurrying into the protection of the sand.  For example, the shore crabs of the Pacific Northwest, in the United States, (called Hemigrapsus nudus and H. oregonensis) can be easily found beneath rocks. They range from smaller than a fingertip to the size of a half-dollar. You can also often find Hermit crabs on rocky shorelines. Look in tide pools and beneath rocks. This is where the crabs tend to collect to feed and move around. Tide pools are great places to find all kinds of marine life, including shore crabs. If you find a tide pool and you don't see anything at first, keep watching. There's always something going on a tide pool. Put a little bit of wet sand in your bucket so that the crab doesn't dry out. You can watch it burrowing around in the sand and scuttling side to side, in the manner that crabs move. This is an especially fun activity to do with children at the beach. Handle the crabs gently, especially the small crabs. They do have hard shells, but they are still delicate to human handling. Don't take crabs home as pets. Most places have laws and rules against removing the wildlife, which are so important to maintaining a thriving ecosystem. The little...

Most blood blisters will heal on their own over time, but keeping the area clean and dry will allow the healing process to proceed as quickly as possible. Keeping it exposed to the air helps the healing process, but also limits the chances of infection. If your blood blister is in an area that would normally be rubbing up against something, such as your heel or toe, take precautions to limit the friction against the blister. It is more likely to tear or burst if it is subject to a lot of friction, which is caused when it rubs up against another surface, such as your shoe. Using a donut-shaped moleskin or felt pad is the most straight-forward way to do this. You can get donut-shaped pads made of thick adhesive felt or moleskin to reduce the friction while still leaving the blister exposed so it heals more quickly. Make sure that you position the blister in the center of the pad to relieve the pressure and friction. Blisters that rub against something regularly, such as those on the feet or fingers, can be covered with a loose bandage for additional protection. Bandages lower the pressure on the blister and reduce the friction, the two key things in helping a blood blister heal and lowering the chances of infection. Be sure to use a sterile dressing, and change it regularly. Before applying a dressing clean the blister and surrounding area. If the blister is extraordinarily large, make an appointment with your doctor. These blisters do sometimes need to be drained, and it is best to do so under professional supervision to prevent infection.

Most capacitors are protected from damage by a metal cover on the exterior of the motor.  The cover must be removed to access the capacitor for inspection and testing.  A visual inspection might indicate oil leaking from the container, bulges in the container, or any holes in the container, burnt smell or smoke residue — all potential problems. Electrically checking a capacitor can be done with the ohm meter.  Placing the test probes on the capacitor terminals, the resistance should start low, and gradually increase as the small voltage supplied by the meter's battery gradually charges the capacitor.  If it stays shorted or does not rise, there is probably an issue with the capacitor and may need to be replaced.  The capacitor will have to be allowed 10 or more minutes to discharge before attempting this test again. Some motors have centrifugal switches used to switch the start / run capacitor (or other windings) "in" and "out" of the circuit at a specific RPM.   Check the switch contacts are not welded closed or are contaminated with dirt and grease that could prevent a good connection.  Use a screwdriver to see if the switch mechanism and any spring can be operated freely. A "TEFC" type motor is a "Totally Enclosed, Fan Cooled" type.  The fan blades are behind metal guard on the back of the motor.  Make sure it is securely fastened to the frame and is not clogged with dirt and other debris.  The openings in the rear metal guard need to have full and free air movement; otherwise, the motor will overheat and eventually fail. Check that drip-proof motors are exposed to directed water spray or moisture, and that open motors aren't exposed to any water or moisture at all.  Drip-proof motors can be installed in damp or wet locations, so long as they are installed in such a way that water (and other liquids) can not enter due to gravity and must not be subjected to a stream of water (or other liquids) directed at or in it. Open motors are, as the name implies, completely open.  The ends of the motor have rather...
