Before you start building your house, you’re going to want to get some great ideas! There are lots of ways that you can get inspired, and seeing all the options that are available will give you great ideas for things you may not have thought of before.  Look at other minecraft mansions. There are lots of great mansions already existing which you can find images or video tours of readily online. Look at your favorite structures from familiar TV shows, movies, and books. Maybe you want to make Hogwarts castle or Superman’s fortress. Look at house plan websites. There are many websites online where people go to buy plans for actual houses. You can use these as inspiration, as they will show you the layout of the house, as well as how the outside looks. Such preview images should always be free. Once you’ve got a good idea of the general layout of the house, think about what rooms you want and where you want them to go. This will help you plan ahead, for locating doors, windows, and improving the flow of your house.  You can include basic rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and dens. You can also include silly rooms like a dungeon, art gallery, trophy room, or chicken storage. There are a limited amount of material types in the game and, unless you change the material textures, you're going to have to keep in mind not just what material you want your house to be made of but what color you want things to be. You will need to be strategic about the materials you use if you want your walls a certain color, and so on. Once you’ve got a general idea of your layout and what rooms you wish to include, you can use Minecraft drafting tools to draw out your mansion plans. This drawn out plan will help you decide how much of each resource you need, as well as where those resources should go. It will make the process of building the mansion much faster.  You can use free services like MineDraft to draw out your plans. If you do not have or want access to tools like this, you can use paper and color-coded color pencils...

Before you start creating your costumes, you will want to gather all of your materials. Gather:  A skirt, petticoat, or tutu that fits you. Start with a solid cother like white or blue. Blue feathers or boas Hot glue gun Leggings and a tank top Craft mask or a homemade mask You will want to start with a solid color that will emphasize the blue of the feathers. You will want to pick the colors of a bluebird, such as blue or white. Avoid garish colors (green, orange, red). Use a hot glue gun to attach the boa, starting from bottom hem and working toward the waistband.  Apply a line of glue all the way around the bottom edge of the skirt and press the feather boa into the glue until the entire bottom edge is covered.  Continue to wrap the boa upward in a loose spiral to create a feathered look. Note that if the petticoat or tutu has a fringe at the bottom, you should glue the feather boa above this fringe. Do not overlap the fringe with the boa. If you want a more elaborately feathered skirt, repeat this procedure with a second feather boa in a slightly different shade of blue. Glue this feather boa around the bottom of the skirt, directly above the boa at the bottom. You can repeat this once more with a third feather boa in yet another shade of blue. Let the glue dry before you continue. Take a desired material (such as blue felt or poster board) and trace a mask around your eyes, forehead, and over the bridge of your nose. Cut the shape out.  Make sure you cut holes large enough so that you can sufficiently see out of. Thread a piece of ribbon or elastic on the sides of the mask. You will want to poke a hole using a pair of scissors or hole puncher to do this. Or, to skip the above steps, you can purchase a simple craft mask at a craft store that you can then decorate. Use hot glue. Do this when the mask is not on your face.   Start at the outside corner of one eye hole. Use a hot glue gun to glue the feathers so that they fan out diagonally from this corner. Move in toward the inner corner of the same eye...

Before you start disassembling and flashing, you'll want to ensure that your Xbox 360 has been updated recently. This is because the flashing software has been designed to work with the most recent updates, and you may run into some errors if you don't have your Xbox 360 current. See this guide for more details on updating your Xbox 360. In order to flash the DVD drive, you will need to pull it out of the Xbox 360. To do this, you will need to remove the outer panel of the Xbox. See this guide for detailed instructions on opening your Xbox 360 case. Gently pull the DVD drive straight out of the Xbox. Make sure that you do not tug the cables that connect the drive to the Xbox’s circuitry. After pulling the drive out, disconnect the two cables that attach the drive to the Xbox. You should now be able to remove the drive completely from the console. There are four different possible DVD drive manufacturers that your Xbox 360 could be using. Some drives will require more tools than others. You can identify the drive by examining the sticker on it. You only need to know the manufacturer in order to determine what tools and process you will be using. The four manufacturers are Lite-On, Samsung, BenQ, and Hitachi.

Before you start down the path to becoming a zoo keeper, you should know what a career in zoo keeping looks like. It is a demanding job, physically and emotionally, and you should make sure the career is right for you.  Zoo keeping is a job that requires a great deal of physical labor. It is not a glamorous position and you will get dirty, sweaty, and tired at work. It also requires strength and flexibility. You must be able to lift at least 50 pounds.  A zookeeper's schedule is somewhat erratic. Your shifts will vary from week to week and you will likely have to work many holidays.  If you have a passion for animals, the job can be rewarding. The job does not, however, pay as much as many other professions that involve working with animals. On average, zoo keepers earn around $30,000 a year but pay does vary depending on your level of experience and the cost of living given a zoo's location.  A zoo keeper performs a wide array of tasks each day. In addition to feeding animals, cleaning exhibits and cages, and training and observation there is general clerical work required. Zoo keepers have to write field notes and proposals and converse with guests and other workers at the zoo. Many people love the idea of working at a zoo, but the sheer amount of physical labor and unpredictable schedule of zoo keeping puts them off. However, there are a wide array of positions needed to keep a zoo running.   Administrative positions include directors, managers, and coordinators. For these positions, you supervise projects the zoo is undertaking, plan and execute zoo policies, recruit and maintain staff and volunteers, and help make decisions about the zoo's future. Curators are responsible for creation and collection. General and animal curators manage the zoo's animal collection. Exhibit and educational curators create graphics for exhibits and plan and implement educational programs throughout the zoo. Marketing and fundraising positions focus on raising money for the zoo, managing sales, promoting the institution, and...

Before you start heating the water, consider flavoring it with some lemon juice or soy sauce. The steam that comes from this water will lightly flavor the broccoli. In a small cup, mix together some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Lightly toss the broccoli with this mixture before you steam it. Try adding some chopped or sliced garlic to the broccoli before or after you steam it. You can also toss the steamed broccoli with some chopped garlic that has been sautéed in olive oil. After you have steamed the broccoli, try tossing it with some lemon zest or a few lemon slices.

Before you start looking for a sugar daddy, you should know what you're looking for. This will help you narrow down your search and to be more clear about your demands right from the beginning. You can make a list of the qualities you'd like the sugar daddy to possess and another list of all of the things you'd like him to pay for. There's no shame in that -- he is a sugar daddy, after all.  Decide what kind of sugar daddy you're looking for. Do you want someone who is under forty, or over fifty? Should he be divorced, wanting to date multiple people, or even married? Do you want someone who wants to spend a lot of time with you or just a man to whisk you away on the weekends? Decide what you want the sugar daddy to do for you. Some women just require a flat fee -- like $1000 or $2000 a week in exchange for their companionship, some fun times, and usually some lovemaking. Or do you want to be compensated mostly through fancy dinners, exotic vacations, and by being treated to fancy and exclusive events? Don't be shy -- if a sugar daddy is what you're after, then you should join a website for finding sugar daddies.  These sites allow you to be clear about what you want, and to easily find men who are looking for something similar.  Be clear about what you want. Let the men know what kind of relationship you're looking for. Post photographs that are appealing, but not too provocative. You want the men to think you're sexy while taking you seriously. Talk about what you have to offer. Don't just focus on what you need, but let the men know that you're fun, exciting, mysterious, or that you just love a good time. If you feel too shy or embarrassed to check out the traditional websites for finding sugar daddies, or you don't want to be so obvious about what you want, you can check out regular dating websites, like OkCupid.com, or eHarmony.com, and try to find a man who will give you the money and gifts you want.  You can use filters to find the right man, such as looking at his salary bracket or his occupation. You...

Before you start making any moves, take some time to get to know the girl. This will not only give her a chance to warm up to you, but will also give you a better idea of whether this risky relationship is worth pursuing. Look for opportunities to hang out with her and do fun things together, without any romantic expectations.  To make her feel more at ease, try inviting her out with other friends at first. That way, she won’t feel like you’re trying to ask her out on a date right away. For example, you might invite her to a party or a group movie night. Remember that this girl is a fellow human being, not a potential conquest. Take her—and the fact that she’s already in a relationship—seriously. If she’s uncomfortable with anything you’re doing, respect her boundaries and back off. For example, if she says, “Hey, I don’t like the way you poke fun at my boyfriend,” don’t get defensive. Just apologize and stop doing it. Let the girl know you value and appreciate her by showing a genuine interest in her when you hang out. Keep up your side of the conversation, but let her do most of the talking. When she says something, follow up with a question to let her know that you’re listening actively to what she has to say.  For example, if she says that she wants to become a doctor, don’t just say, “Oh, cool,” and move on. Ask her something like, “How did you get interested in medicine?” Don’t spend the whole conversation planning what you’re going to say next. Instead, focus on what she’s saying and respond to that. Put away your cell phone and any other distractions when you’re together. If you can allow yourself to be a little vulnerable with her, the girl will have a better idea of who you are and where you’re coming from. By opening up to her, you can also show her that you trust her and feel comfortable with her.  For example, you might share a secret with her, admit to a flaw, or let her see you put yourself on the spot by trying something new. Don’t be afraid to let her see you get a little emotional. For...

Before you start messing with the cell, the power needs to be off for safety's sake. Don't try to unscrew the unit while it is still on. Most filtration systems have an easy access switch to turn the power off.  On some units, simply press the button next to "filter" on the control panel. On other units, turn it off at the on/off switch or the time clock. In addition, flip the breaker for the control panel or turn off the control panel. Then, unplug the salt cell, as well. Once you have the power off, take the salt cell out to inspect it more closely. You'll be looking at the metal plates inside the unit. You should be able to inspect them fairly easily to see if they need cleaning. Unscrew both sides of the salt cell to remove it. It should have large screw-in unions on both ends. The unions will be the same size as the pipe. As you unscrew, be careful, as water will leak out. The cell only needs cleaning if it has mineral deposits on its filters. The mineral deposits will look white, dry, and flaky, like a tub faucet or shower head gets at times. These deposits reduce the unit's efficiency, so you need to remove them. If your filter doesn't have deposits, put it back, and check it in a month or so. Tip the salt cell up to look inside at the metal plates. Check for mineral deposits. Most salt cells will need cleaning at least twice a year. Some may need it as often as every two months. It mostly depends on how hard your water is, as that's what causes buildups. Check on it every two months to see if it needs cleaning until you figure out how often yours will need to be cleaned.  If you have a newer salt system, the cell may not even need cleaning out, as these systems have built-in ways of keeping deposits from building up. Watch for the signal. Some systems have an automatic monitor to remind you when to check your salt cell.

Before you start painting, place a sheet on the floor to catch any drops of paint. Move any furniture near the area away or cover it with a sheet as well. Cover baseboards, door hinges, and the ceiling border with painter's tape if necessary. If the hole in the drywall was small, there's probably no need to repaint the entire wall. If you had a few different holes spread around the wall, it might be a good idea to paint the whole wall. Use a roller or paintbrush to apply the primer to your desired section of the wall.  If you're painting the whole wall, sand your spackle down well. Apply one coat of paint to the spackled areas and allow it to dry completely, then proceed with painting your wall. You won't need primer unless you're changing the color of your wall. Use even, measured strokes with the roller or the paintbrush to apply the primer. Primer tends to feel dry to the touch within an hour of applying it. However, this does not mean it's ready to be painted over. It will take around 3 hours for the entire layer of primer to fully dry. If it's cool or very humid, it might take an extra hour or so for the primer to dry. You don't want to have to repaint the entire wall if you only covered a small hole. Check your garage or shed to see if you still have the paint you used originally on the wall. If you don't have it, go to your local painting store or home center and ask for help to find a matching color.  You can take paint chips home from the store and hold them up to the wall to find the color that's an exact match. If you can't find an exact match, you'll probably need to repaint the whole wall. Once the primer is dry, use a paintbrush or roller to apply the first coat of paint to the wall. Use a flat or tapered paintbrush and paint with measured, even strokes. A roller will be much easier to use if you're painting the entire wall. If you're only painting the small section you applied spackle to, you can use a small paintbrush or a sponge paintbrush to dab your paint onto the patch. It's important to...

Before you start shopping around, it's important to be able to understand the basic components of a turntable. Make sure that you fully understand the features and can compare the advantages and disadvantages of different brands, models, and styles of turntable. A basic turntable or record player consists of:  A record platter or plate, which is a record-sized circle on which the vinyl record will sit. The platter rotates to spin the record, and is often covered with an anti-static felt or rubber pad on which the record will sit. The stylus of the record player is also sometimes referred to as the "needle," and is the component of the record player that contacts the record itself. The stylus is usually housed in a cartridge, which contains the small wiring and coupling mechanism that connects the stylus to the tone arm. A tone arm can be operated manually or automatically, rotating the stylus onto the record. Good record players will have tone arms that will lift off automatically and return to place when the end of the side is finished playing. The base of the record player contains the internal circuitry and houses the various components. Ideally, turntable bases are secured on anti-shock feet to keep the record from skipping during play. Turntables can be divided into two basic categories, in terms of the way that they're operated. For the beginner, the difference may be minuscule, but it's important to understand the different machine-styles, depending on the way you intend to use your turntable.  Direct-drive turntables offer consistent machine-operated speeds that will never need adjusted, and allow dual-directional rotation. If you have any interest in analog DJ “scratching,” you need to buy a direct-drive turntable, or you’re going to be disappointed. Belt-driven turntables isolate the motor to one side of the machine, rotating the platter with an elastic belt. While the belt has a tendency to wear out over time in old turntables, the distance of the motor from the tone arm cuts down on incidental...

Before you start taking offers or listing your domain, take stock of its value so that you can come up with a good price. There are a lot factors to take into consideration when determining the value of a domain, so if you are unsure it may be wise to contact a company that performs these assessments. Some of the major factors include:  Traffic - This is one of the primary influences of the domain's value. The number of visitors the domain gets from users typing the URL, searching, or coming from links will have a big impact on the value, especially if these visitors are monetized. Top Level Domains - The most valuable websites are ".com" websites. These are far more valuable than any other top level domain (.info, .biz, .net, etc.). Length and Readability - One- and two-word names in English are the most valuable commodities. They are especially valuable if they are directly related to an industry (hotels.com, biking.com, etc.), read well, and are easy to memorize. Domains that sell for thousands of dollars are rare. Unless you have a highly sought-after domain, you may not receive a large amount for it. It will help to be realistic in your pricing if you are intent on selling them. One of the best ways to get offers on your domain is to put up a simple "For Sale" message on your site. This will let any visitor know immediately that the domain is available for purchase and how to get in contact. There are several ways you can do this:  Many domain registrars provide simple free websites. Use the tools provided to create basic page that indicates the domain is for sale. You could include a link to the domain listing or include your contact information (beware of spam). You can add a page to one of your existing websites and redirect all of your for-sale domains to that sales page. Adjust your WHOIS information to show that your domain is for sale. You can change your registration information to reflect the fact that the domain is for sale. For example, you can add "Domain For Sale" to the end of the owner...

Before you start taking your notes, read over the entire text quickly. Avoid taking notes or stopping to highlight, which you can do once you have an idea of what the text is saying. Skimming the text can help you figure out the general theme of the text and what parts are most relevant to your question and subject matter. Pay particular attention to the following sections:  Title and summary or abstract of the text Introduction or first paragraph Topic headings to figure out overall organization Graphic material Conclusion or final paragraph After you’ve read the text, figure out the purposes for reading it and why you need to take notes. Ask yourself the following questions to guide the types of notes you take on the text:  Am I trying to get a general understanding of a subject or concept? Do I need to know specific information or details from the text? Most texts will have central arguments and ideas they want to convey. Note any key ideas you find with a short phrase or sentence. Highlighting these key ideas—in your own words— can ensure you have all of the important information about the text.  In addition to underlining the key ideas in your notes, you can also literally underline or highlight them with your pen or pencil in the text. Make sure to write down the exact page in your notes so you can refer back to the original text. For example, “fall of the Weimar Republic,” is much more manageable than, “The overall conditions that led to the Nazi takeover of power in January of 1933 were a product of interwar intrigue that ultimately damned the young republic.” Set aside your notes for a few hours. Re-read what you’ve written and ask if they parallel your understanding of the text. Clarify any keywords or ideas that you don’t understand and fill in your notes with additional thoughts or observations that may help you. Set a regular schedule to review your notes. The more often you review your notes, the more likely you are to remember them later.

Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school. Find out where your classroom will be, as well as the cafeteria, auditorium, gym and other important places (including the bathroom!) Meeting your teachers before you start school will also help you make a smooth adjustment to the new school. Introduce yourself and smile. Being friendly with your teachers will help your transition. Find out some key facts about them, such as what subject they teach, where they teach, their name etc. Knowing the school’s policies ahead of time will help make it easier to fit in with the school culture. Get the school handbook from the school or download it from the school’s website. Read through it with your parents so that they can explain policies that might sound confusing to you. If your new school doesn't have a handbook, read the rules and school diary to get used to what is expected. The school handbook might also have some interesting facts about the school, which can help you get acquainted with its history, the students and the teachers. It will be helpful to know when vacation/holiday days are scheduled, as well as half-days and special days like field days or carnivals. Mark these dates on a calendar in your room. This will help you anticipate when you have a short day of school or a day off.

Before you start with makeup, make sure to wash your face first with a gentle cleanser. In addition, use a moisturizer to help keep your skin hydrated. It's important to be gentle with your skin, as being rough can make your skin redder or cause rosacea flareups if you have that condition. Try blotting your skin after you wash it instead of rubbing it, for instance, and try to be gentle when washing your face. Primer acts as a go-between. It protects your skin from the make up, so if your cheeks are rosy from irritation, it can help lessen the effect. A green primer works best to help cover redness. Always test any product you plan to use on your face on another area of skin, such as the back of your neck, to see if it will irritate it. Try a concealer with a hint of yellow in it to help hide redness if it's only lightly red. If you need a bit more help or you skin is flaky, opt for a green-tinted moisturizer. If you have a condition such as rosacea, it's important to choose products that are oil-free.  When adding powdered concealer, a brush is best. It lets you add just as much as you need. Because bacteria can irritate conditions like rosacea, choose brushes that are antibacterial.  If you use a stick concealer, use it to make small dots where you need it. Gently rub it over the areas to create a even layer. The foundation helps even out your face and the concealer. Apply it over your whole face for an even skin tone.  Consider a foundation with mineral powder, as it is less likely to irritate your skin.  Start by adding a bit of powder to the lid. Use your brush to pick it up, moving it around until you've picked up all the powder. To apply it, use circular motions, gradually covering your whole face. If you already have redness, you don't need to create more rosiness. Use a base that will let the natural rosiness shine through on your cheeks without looking red or irritated.

Before you start, you want to make sure that you don't introduce bacteria into your canning jars. The slightest bit of contamination can ruin a perfectly good batch of garlic, so make sure they're sterilized properly beforehand. After sterilized, put them on a freshly cleaned towel on the kitchen counter to air-dry.  Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to wash the jars and lids in the dishwasher on the "sterilize" cycle. If you do not have a dishwasher or a dishwasher with a sterilize function, put the jars and lids into boiling water for 10 minutes to sterilize them. When handling freshly-sterilized cans and lids, use clean tongs or canning tongs. Any interaction between human skin and the jars or lids could transfer unwanted bacteria. Try not to use old jam or jelly jars as your canning jars, as these don't preserve properly. Instead, opt for mason jars. If you want to use old jam jars, you'll need to keep your pickled garlic refrigerated at all times and use it up within three months. You can let it heat up while you prepare the garlic and pickling solution for canning. When you're dealing in bulk, peeling one pound of garlic can get tedious. You'll want to peel those suckers efficiently. There are two basic ways you can peel a lot of garlic very quickly:   Shake them up. Break up the garlic bulbs and place the cloves into a metal bowl. Invert another identical metal bowl over the first bowl to create a locked seal. Grip the bowls tightly with both hands and shake vigorously for up to 30 seconds. Your cloves should be completely peeled!  Blanch the garlic. Break up the garlic bulbs and sink into boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove and put them into cold water to stop the cooking. Separate the peel from the clove in the water. The peels should easily slide off after they are blanched. Mix together the water, vinegar, and salt in a pot and bring to a simmer.

Before you steam your face, clean it thoroughly.  Before washing your face, it's a good idea to wash your hands first. Wet your hands and lather them in soap. Then, scrub for 20 seconds, making sure to wash between your fingers, under your nails, and on the back of your hands. To keep track of time, hum the "Happy birthday" song from beginning to end twice. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel or a disposable paper towel.  Use a mild soap with limited oils and chemicals and lukewarm water. If you wear make-up, make sure to get all your make-up off before you begin the steaming process. Make-up can clog pores, leading to acne. It's a good idea to deep cleanse your face before applying make-up. Pour water into a pot and heat it over a stove. Only heat the water until it begins to produce steam. You should not heat the water until it boils, as this can burn your face. Essential oils should be added to the water to help cleanse and nourish your skin.  If you're dealing with pimples or acne, bergamot oils has antiviral and antibacterial properties that can reduce breakouts. Geranium oil is also good as it increases skin elasticity and regulates oil production in the skin. Tea tree oil has been known to eliminate acne causing bacteria. If you're prone to frequent breakouts, lemon oil can reduce pores and decrease the likelihood of breakouts. If you're looking to improve skin appearance, there are several options. Lavender oil can lighten skin and reduce the appearance of scars and blotches. Carrot seed oil also rejuvenates the appearance of skin by encouraging cell regeneration. Myrrh has certain anti-aging properties that can keep skin looking younger and blemish-free. Peppermint or green tea, while not essential oils, can be added to water to increase the steam's moisturizing effect. Once the water is steaming and oil is added, wrap your head in a towel and lean over the pot of steaming water. Allow the steam to touch your face. However, do not lean too far in as you don't want the water to actually touch...

Before you take your kitten, you should determine her medical and family background. There are some important questions to ask the breeder, rescue centre, or pet store before you buy a kitten. You should start by asking who bred the kitten, as well as inquiring about the health of the rest of the litter and the mother.  Specifically, you should find out if the mother has had her vaccinations and been wormed. If she hasn't, it is more likely that her kittens will have health problems. Ask how many litters the mother has had. If it is a lot, this may indicate irresponsible breeding and may suggest that the breeders are not taking good care of her. Ask if there are potential hereditary health problems that you should be aware of. As well as asking about the mother's medical condition, you should determine the medical status of the kitten before you take her home. Ask if the kitten has been wormed and has had her vaccinations. This should happen with veterinary supervision at an early stage, with the first vaccinations typically administered when she is eight or nine weeks old. Ensure you have the documentation from the vet to prove this.  Check if she has been microchipped. This is very important, and you can arrange for a vet to do this if the breeder hasn't done it yet. Finally, you should ask some questions about the kitten's first weeks. Where has she been kept? Has she had much contact with people or other animals? This information will help you understand your kitten. She will need plenty of contact with different people to become comfortable around humans. Before you bring her home it's sensible to find your local vet and give them a call to book her in for a check-up. All pets should be registered with a vet to help ensure they are taken good care of, and get all the necessary injections and veterinary care. When you take her in, be sure to bring documentation from the breeder and have any necessary vaccinations, or worming treatments carried out as soon as possible.  Your vet will also be able to give...

Before you talk to your child, you’ll need to take care of your own grief. If your feelings are still too raw, you may be unable to help your child process her experience safely. Talk to others who can help you process your own feelings of sadness to avoid overwhelming your child.  If you feel uncomfortable talking about death, your child will notice this. Try to come to the topic with a clear and open mind. It’s okay to show sadness and emotions. However, if your feelings about death are too raw, your child may be more upset by your feelings than the death itself. Talk to your child in the car, before dinner, or before bedtime when she's most receptive to slowing down and having a conversation together. Bring up the topic in a direct and straightforward manner, saying, for example, "I want to talk to you about Grandma."  Let your child know that you're interested in her feelings and her thoughts. Make sure you have your own feelings under control when you bring up the topic. Don't bring it up at a time when you're feeling stressed, upset, or tired. Infants and toddlers won’t be able to understand a conversation, but will react to their parents’ emotional state. Starting at around age 3, you can talk to your child using clear, concrete language. School-aged children should receive simple, honest explanations about what happened to cause the death. Older children and teens may be able to understand death as well as an adult, but may have difficulty expressing their feelings about it.  Be aware that children and young people grieve in a more sporadic manner than adults do. Their feelings may veer abruptly from sadness to excitement. Your child may be processing his feelings through his play, so be watchful and alert for any signs that he’s trying to communicate in unexpected ways. Remember that you are the best interpreter of your child’s communication. You’ll know whether he likes to communicate through his drawings, his play, or by having conversations. Children are literal in their understanding of words....

Before you test your soil or add anything to it, you will need to determine what type of soil you have. Determine if your soil is clumpy, dry, loose or wet. This will give you some clues about what altering the soil may entail. Because of this, you should understand your soil type early.  Well-drained and loose soil will be more easily altered. On the other hand, compacted soil that has a lot of clay in it will be difficult to change. Determining your soil type will help you figure out the best method for applying any materials to it. In order to adjust your soil’s pH, you will need to know what that is. A soil's pH represents how acidic or alkaline it is. Soil pH is determined on a scale from zero to 14, with seven being a neutral pH that is neither acidic nor alkaline. Anything over seven is alkaline and anything below seven is acidic. Most plants prefer a pH between six and seven and a half, as do earthworms and microorganisms, which help your plants. The type of plants you intend to grow will determine what your soil’s pH needs to be. Many plants prefer a more acidic soil, particularly flowers and some fruit plants like blueberries. Research what the recommended pH levels are for the plants you want to grow.  Azaleas, rhododendrons, blueberries and conifers like acidic soils (pH 5.0 to 5.5) Vegetables, grasses and most ornamentals prefer slightly acidic soils (pH 5.8 to 6.5) . Once you have an understanding of soil pH and the type of soil you are dealing with, you will want to get it tested. You can buy a commercial test at a local home and garden store or send a sample to a company that will test it for you. The easiest way to test your soil is to dig a hole, fill it with water and then insert a test probe into muddy water. However, sending a soil sample to be tested will give you a more accurate indication of your soil’s pH There are also some DIY methods that include making your own pH test strips. . Test your water to determine how it affects your soil. Groundwater, the water used in most homes and...

Before you throw out your shaving foam and swear yourself to a hairier life, it's best to have an idea of what you want to eventually look like. There's no "right" way to grow stubble, so feel free to be creative with your choice. However, there are a few popular "looks" that tend to look good on a wide variety of faces that you may want to consider. We've given these our own names below (and suggested a few celebrities that wear these styles as examples):   The All-over: This natural look uses a short-to-medium length stubble that's about the same length all over the face, making it easy to grow and maintain. Wearers of this style include: Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper.  The Peach Fuzz: This style uses very short stubble to give a delicate, almost clean-cut look. Wearers: Robert Pattinson and Ryan Gosling.  The Faux-tee: This stubble looks like a very short version of a goatee or a Van Dyke beard — the stubble is mainly concentrated around the nose and mouth, while the cheeks are clean-shaven. Wearers: Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom.  The Shaggy: This style uses a somewhat longer stubble and a relaxed approach to grooming to give a rugged look. Wearers: George Clooney, Idris Elba.  The Wilderness: This wild, unkempt look is almost more of a short beard than it is a stubble style — wearing this will take some confidence, but when pulled off, the impression it gives is a strikingly masculine one. Wearers: Russell Brand, Bear Grylls after a week in the woods. Let's face it: not everyone grows facial hair in the same way. Some people have to shave every single day to stay clean-shaven, while others can put down the razor for weeks at a time and grow only a few wisps of hair. Keep in mind your natural ability to grow hair as you pick your stubble style — ideally, you want to pick a look that makes the most of your natural facial hair patterns, not one that's held back by them. Here are just a few things to consider:  If your facial hair comes in patchy, don't pick a style that requires thick hair growth on...

Before you touch the inside of your mouth, take a minute to wash your hands with warm water and soap. If this is not available, use hand sanitizer. The goal is to prevent the germs on your hands from transferring to the now open wound on your tongue, possibly causing infection. Resistant viruses can also cause an infection if they come into contact with a bleeding wound. Your tongue will most likely start bleeding the moment it is bitten because it is highly vascular. Applying pressure to the area will slow the blood flow and allow it to clot. It is important to take action immediately following the injury.  If the tip of your tongue is injured, push it up against the roof of your mouth and hold for five second intervals. You can also press your tongue against the interior of your cheek. If you can reach the wound, grab a piece of ice and place it on the bitten area. You can even hold the ice cube using your hard palate and pressing on it with your tongue if it's not too painful. Move the ice on and off until it melts. You can also place a clean cloth or medical gauze on the area, pressing down a bit as you do so. Open your mouth wide and use a mirror to look inside at your tongue. If the bleeding has stopped and the wound appears superficial, you can continue to treat it at home. If the bleeding continues or increases and the cut seems deep, call your dentist to see if sutures are necessary. It may also be an emergency if the bleeding is intense. In this case, you should call emergency services. Biting your tongue can often be the result of a sports injury or a falling accident. Feel the rest of your mouth to check for damaged or loose teeth, or bleeding gums which can be caused by a tooth fracture. Move your jaw up and down to see if you experience any additional pain. If you have one of these injuries, contact your doctor or dentist. Your tongue will begin to swell right after the injury. This makes it easy to bite it again. Place something cold, such as ice wrapped in a clean cloth, to the wound site....

Before you turn on the oven, move the top rack to the highest position. Close the oven door, set the broiler to high, and leave the oven to preheat as you prepare the asparagus. Broilers cook at extremely high heat, which will give the spears a nice char on the outside. Transfer the baking sheet to the top rack and cook the asparagus for 4 to 8 minutes. The asparagus is ready when it’s slightly tender but still firm, and slightly charred on the ends. Remove the asparagus from the oven. Use tongs to transfer the spears from the roasting pan to a serving dish, or onto individual serving plates. Enjoy the asparagus hot as a side with your favorite meals, or as a nutritious snack.  Before serving, you can finish the asparagus with additional oil, butter, or red wine vinegar.  Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days.

Begin by allowing your dog to wander around your car with the engine off. Then start with short journeys until you and your dog become familiar with traveling by car together. Don't go long distances right away, just get your dog used to the space. Take your dog to a park or a field so they associate a car journey with something good rather than just trips to the vet. There's always a chance, no matter how well-behaved your dog may be, that your dog will get out of the car and run away from you. Make sure that your dog can be identified if it escapes from you while traveling. Let your dog run around and tire itself out. You should also give your dog a little snack and a little water while taking your break. Make sure that you stop every hour or so and go for a quick walk, even if it's only on the grass by a fast-food restaurant at a service station by the highway. This lets your dog go to the toilet, and gives you an ample opportunity to give your dog some water. Taking your dog on short walks is important as it means that the dog can stretch their legs and prevents it from getting bored.  This is especially important if your going on a long journey. Four hours is your average dog's absolute limit for driving without a longer break, but as a driver it's recommended you take a break after every two hours of driving. Make sure you stop somewhere grassy and relatively quiet (not right beside the road), lock your car, feed your dog some food and water, and take him for a walk so he can let off some of his excess energy. If you stop by the highway your dog MUST be on a lead for his own safety. Be aware of how quickly a dog can get heatstroke, and die, in a parked car. To be safe, never leave your dog unattended in your car in warm weather for any length of time.  If you stop for a meal, park your car in the shade, and let the windows down about an inch each to let cool air in. Put a bowl of cool water in the car for your dog and unbuckle him or her if in a dog seat. Lock your car doors, and order your food to go....

Begin by numbering a piece of paper in reverse order, from 10 to one. Imagine the scariest circumstance you could (in the real world) find yourself in, and write that scenario as number 10. From 10 down to one, write decreasingly disturbing scenarios. For example, if you have a phobia of spiders, your list may look like this: 10) Spider on my bare arm9) Spider on my clothing8) Spider on my shoe7) Spider walking towards me6) Seeing a spider sitting in the corner5) Knowing a spider is in the house4) Knowing a spider is in the yard3) Seeing a big squished spider2) Seeing a small squished spider 1) Seeing a drawing of a friendly spider At a scheduled time each week, you will imagine progressively frightening scenarios while practicing relaxation techniques.  Be sure to give yourself enough time to mentally recuperate before moving on to the next step. Some people find that it’s better to work on desensitization every other day, rather than wait a week in between. Experiment with either method and decide which one works best for you. It will depend on how anxious you feel after each session. If you feel very anxious, you may want to give yourself longer in between sessions. You should not undertake a desensitization regimen alone.  Tell someone you trust (a friend, parent, sibling, spouse, or therapist, perhaps) that you are planning to try to overcome your phobia.  Make sure they know when you are planning to work on desensitization techniques and ensure that they will be available if you feel start to feel overwhelmed.

Begin the conversation by saying something positive to the other person. You want to start this talk on a positive note. It will help keep the other person from becoming defensive. You might say, “It’s great that your sales have increased since last month.” Make sure that your compliment is not vague. That might leave the other person feeling like your feedback isn’t directly applicable to them. Include direct statements about their performance. Tell your son, “Thomas, I am proud of you for using your words to resolve that argument with your sister.” Don’t compliment someone just for the sake of it. You risk coming off as phony and damaging your credibility. Find something that you honestly feel the person did well to talk about. You could say, “John, you’ve worked really hard to make your emails more polite. All of your team members really appreciate it.” You will also wrap up your talk by offering some additional positive words. This is the second piece of bread in the feedback sandwich. This helps ensure that the conversation ends on a positive note.  Try saying, “Amy, you’re off to a great start with this paper. I’m looking forward to helping you develop that thesis statement.” You can also reiterate your first positive statement. For example, “Again, I can really tell that you are making an effort to craft more constructive emails.”

Begin your closing paragraph with a sentence or two that summarizes your reason for writing. You also want to include any closing remarks that are relevant to the subject of your letter.  For example, if you are writing to apply for a job or internship, you might include a statement in your closing that you have references that are available upon request. If your letter is only a couple of paragraphs, this may not be necessary. However, it can be helpful for longer letters that are a couple of pages long, as it will bring your reader back to the reason you wrote to them in the first place. This portion of the closing paragraph also typically isn't important if you are writing to a close friend or family member. To end your letter, let the person to whom you're writing know what you expect as a result of the letter. In this final sentence, you will let them know what decision you hope for them to make or when you expect to hear from them.  For example, if you simply want a reply, but don't have any definite timetable, you might write Espero su respuesta, which means "I await your reply." If you anticipate that the recipient may have questions or want to talk to you further, you might write Cualquier cosa estoy a su disposición, which means "I am available should you have any questions." Much as you would end a letter in English by writing a word or phrase such as "Sincerely yours" or "All the best," a similar word or phrase in Spanish will close out your Spanish letter.  Closing greetings in Spanish tend to be a bit more formal than they are in English. Commonly, you would use something such as Saludos cordiales, meaning "Cordial greetings." If you're asking the person for something, you might use Gracias y saludos, meaning "Thank you and greetings." If you don't know the person at all, and they are older than you or in a position of authority, you might use Le saludo atentamente. This phrase is the most formal closing greeting, and can be literally translated as "I attentively send greetings." It is so formal...

Begin your training session by holding the toy mouse in front of your cat. Stand a few feet back from her so that she cannot easily reach out and grab the toy. If you are training her during her playtime, she will likely already be attentive to you and the toy.  If she is keeping herself busy with something else, or is in a different room, you will probably need to call her to you. Reward her with a treat when she comes to you after being called. Toss the toy mouse two to three feet in front of you. It is important to start with small throwing distances when your cat is first learning the trick. You can increase the distance as your cat becomes more skilled with fetching the toy mouse.  An alternative to throwing the toy is to attaching it to a string. You can sling the stringed toy towards your cat, then pull it back when your cat has a hold of the toy.  Remove the toy from the string as your cat begins to understand the motion of catching the toy and bringing it back to you.  It may be helpful to give your cat verbal cues—'fetch' when you toss the toy mouse and 'good fetch' when she brings it back to you—during your training sessions. Your cat may not bring the toy mouse back to you the first time you throw it—she may not understand that you are teaching her how to fetch. If this happens, try enticing her with a treat in your hand to get her to walk to back to you with the toy.  Reward her with the treat and verbal praise when she brings it back to you. When your cat sees the treat, she may drop the toy before she walks back to you. In this case, do not give her a treat. Instead, walk to her, pick up the toy, and walk back to your original position. Wait to toss the toy mouse until your cat has come back to you. When you toss it again, reward her if she brings it back to you. Keep in mind that you may have to pick up the toy mouse yourself several times before your cat understands that she is supposed to bring it back to you.  Toss the toy in the same direction each time that you toss it. Your cat will...

Behaving respectfully, courteously, and humanely to everyone you meet is a good starting point! You never know when you might form a true bond on an unexpected occasion, and find your next business partner, investor, or employer. Definitively end relationships only when it’s absolutely necessary. When you leave a job, resist the temptation to gloat, slack off, or tell your boss “how you really feel.” When you tug on a thread in your network, you never know who’ll be feeling its reverberations down the line. Networking can feel mercenary and shallow when advertised too overtly. Understand that networking is essential to success in most industries, but that you should never forget that you’re forging connections with people. Taking a holistic, human approach to your interactions can make you more memorable down the line when it comes time for hiring; employers might have thoughts not just of “Who do I know that would be good for this copywriting job?” but “What job do I know that would be a good fit for Richard?” Everybody else in your industry understands how crucial networking is, so don’t think you’re the only schmuck out there advertising your skill. Self-promotion is, to some degree, the name of the game. Not only will you need these skills to navigate the day-to-day with your employers and employees, you’ll also benefit from them when you negotiate deals and contracts. Studies have shown that the most successful business people excel in both cognitive and social skills.  Make it a point to appreciate the work and input of others. Practice active listening. This means acknowledging what other people say by repeating it back to them in your own words, as you understand it to be. Pay attention to others. Be proactive about noticing others' feelings, words and body language. Connect people. A successful business owner is a hub through which other interpersonal connections are made.

Behavioral expressions of anger can range from the verbal to the physical, and beyond, into intentional aggression. When broaching certain topics, the person may exhibit signs of anger that can clue you in to the source of the emotion. Some examples may be yelling, arguing, cursing, and sarcasm. Paying attention to when these displays of emotion show up will help you determine his triggering event. These can show up as raised fists, throwing or breaking objects, and hitting or kicking things in the environment. Follow the trail backwards from these explosive moments to what seemed to trigger the elevation in emotion. Aggression is contrasted with other forms of anger expression by its focused intent. Instead of undirected anger, aggression is a sign that someone specifically wants to hurt you. Like the other forms of expression, it can provide clues to the triggering event. Be careful when aggression shows up, as it can result in emotionally or physically injurious behavior. Anger can show up not only in the way things are expressed, but in the expressions themselves. When people are angry, they temporarily display attributes of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, such as entitlement, overblown confidence, manipulation, and a lack of empathy. Recognize these symptoms for what they are and do your best to trace their emotional lineage.

Being a player is not about finding The One. It is about getting to know lots of people, moving quickly from one partner to the other. Neither mode of dating is "right," but you should know that being a player is a shallow, surface-level way to make connections.  If you're looking for deep emotional connections, don't be a player. If you want to find someone to settle down with, don't be a player. If you don't feel comfortable letting people down, don't be a player. The player lifestyle is constantly on the move. You're going to new parties, clubs, and events every weekend, and you are constantly making new friends. A player has a wide range of friends, though only a few of them are necessarily "close" friends.  If you'd rather sit in and watch Netflix, don't be a player. If you'd rather meet the gang at your favorite bar each weekend, don't be a player. If you want the comfort and ease of long-term relationships, don't be a player. The reality of being a player is that feelings are going to hurt. Some people are going to get attached. You might even get unexpectedly attached. If you're committed to playing the field, you're never going to have full control over the emotions of others. Every now and then things won't end as neatly as you hope. You're going to have to firmly, though politely, let people down.  If you'd rather not break up with people, don't be a player. If you know you struggle with confrontation, don't be a player. If you feel bad about sleeping with someone and leaving the next morning, don't be a player. Being a player is not about being monogamous. But handling several partners at the same time is not easy, especially if you're not telling them who else you're seeing. This isn't to say it's wrong or unethical. You just need to know what you're getting into.  If you're uncomfortable keeping multiple relationships going, don't be a player. If you hate managing relationships, texting, and keeping secrets, don't be a player. If you have a moral or ethical problem with polyamory, don't be a...

Being able to read your horse’s body language will allow to you communicate with him more effectively, which will in turn help you gain his trust. Your abused horse may demonstrate certain body language as a result of the abuse (e.g., trembling, tense muscles). The more you understand how he is feeling at any given moment, the better you will be able to address his abuse.  Trembling is very common in abused horses. Your horse may begin to tremble and shake as you approach him, out of fear that you will hurt him.  A trembling horse may be signaling that he is ready to bolt. Be prepared to quickly move to safety if your horse begins to tremble.  An abused horse may also tense his muscles in response to being touched or approached.  Physical abuse may have caused your horse to exhibit aggressive body language, such as striking with a front leg, swinging his hindquarters, and pinning back his ears. For your own safety, do not attempt to approach or work with your horse if he is being aggressive. Talk with your veterinarian or equine behaviorist if you are unsure how to read your horse’s body language. How you approach your abused horse is an important factor in whether you will gain his trust. Slow and easy movements are a must. In addition, you should approach him from his side, not directly in front of him.  Approaching him from his front may look threatening to him, which may make him wary or afraid of you. Your body language (relaxed breathing, slow walk) should communicate that you are calm, confident and aware of your surroundings.  Do not make direct eye contact with your horse as you approach him.  Wait a short distance away from your horse before approaching him. This will allow you to observe his body language and determine if he is ready for you to be in his personal space. If he looks relatively calm (e.g., ears turned to the side, lowered head, cocked hind leg), proceed with walking towards his side. Body language that signals fear or anxiety (e.g., ears cocked back, pawing at  the ground, tightened...

Being an MC is a lot of pressure. The event’s success is largely contributed to how well the MC keeps things on track. While the event’s proceedings can get hectic, it is important to remain calm and focus on maintaining your MC persona. To keep your cool, try:   Continuing on if you mess up. Stopping will only make your mistake that much more obvious. Try to roll with the punches and continue on from your mistake. If you do this successfully, the audience will most likely forget your misstep.  Finding a spot to look at while talking. Looking at the individual audience members might make you more nervous while speaking. Instead, try looking over the heads of the audience members to reduce intimidating one on one eye contact.  Slowing down with your words. Nothing shows you’re more nervous as an MC, than talking too quickly. Talking too quickly can lead to mispronunciations and stuttering, which can affect people understanding you. Take your time, and pause slightly in between sentences. Introduce yourself and welcome the audience to the event. Identify the specific, principal groups of your audience, and welcome them individually. These welcomes don’t need to be long-winded, but they do need to be authentic. For example, you might say something like, “To all of our Packer fan dairy farmers who traveled all the way from Wisconsin and had to drive through Bear territory to get here, a warm welcome.” The MC has the key responsibility of introducing different speakers that come up on stage, as well as other key people at the event. The more pertinent a guest is, the more detailed and tailored your introduction of them should be. Once you have made your introduction for a speaker, lead the audience in applauding the speaker until they reach the speaking microphone. When the speaker is finished giving their speech, lead the audience again in applause until the speaker is off the stage and on their way back to their seat.  Since one of the biggest responsibilities as MC is to keep the event running on time, don’t be...

Being assertive and powerful around others can help you gain self-confidence and self-esteem. It can also allow you to gain more acknowledgement and respect from others, in the workplace, at school, or at home. One way you can act powerful and assertive is to always use “I” statements when you speak to others.  You should always try to use “I” statements during a discussion or argument, such as “I think you are wrong” or “I disagree with what you are saying.” This will be more effective and assertive than using “you” or “they,” such as “You are wrong,” or, “They don’t know what they’re talking about.” You should also use “I” statements when you are stating your opinion or your thoughts. For example, you may say, “I think it’s important to be honest with each other,” or, “I believe the client should come first.” You can also demonstrate your assertiveness in a positive way by using body language that is assertive and confident. Make sure you always stand straight and upright. You should also make regular eye contact and maintain a positive facial expression, such as a welcoming smile.  You should also avoid wringing your hands, pulling on your clothing nervously, or picking at your face. Nervous ticks often as a sign of a lack of confidence. It may help to practice assertive body language in front of a mirror at home so you can get comfortable presenting yourself in this way. If you are around someone who seems to demonstrate assertive body language, you may study her and try to mimic her gestures. A person who is confident and assertive will maintain firm control over his emotions and not let his anger show. Rather than scream, shout, or yell when you get upset or frustrated, try to take a deep breath and remain calm. Keep your voice even and firm when you speak to others to show you are in control of your emotions. If you feel your emotions are getting out of hand during a discussion at school or an argument at work, you may try excusing yourself and taking a timeout on your own. Letting your emotions settle...

Being assertive means you stand up for yourself and share your thoughts and feelings with others. You do not want to hurt others with your words. Instead, you want to make your point known. Aggressive language occurs when you belittle others. You might be proving your point at the expense of another.  Assertive communication would be: “Gretchen, I would like you to be more open to my personal situation at present. My brother is sick so I cannot come to practice as often.” See be assertive for more tips. Aggressive communication would be: “Gretchen, you’re such a mean girl. I don’t know how anyone could be so insensitive when another person has a very sick brother. Don’t you have a heart?” Stand tall with your shoulders back. Don't slouch or lean against a wall. Keep your head high and look people in their eyes. Rather than crossing your arms, keep them at your sides or even on your hips. If sitting, keep your legs uncrossed with your feet planted firmly on the floor. Instead of using the accusatory “you,” frame your responses with “I.” For example, “I feel hurt when you ignore my needs” rather than “You always forget that I need a ride.” By keeping the focus on “I,” you are less likely to issue blame. Instead, you open a dialogue. When standing up for yourself, try to state facts. Do not just defend yourself. For example, saying, “Gretchen, you’re being unfair!” will be ineffective. Although it is important to say when someone hurts your feelings, explain why. Saying that you’re sad helps if people know the reason. Try the following: You might say, “Gretchen, I feel like you do not understand why I miss practice so often. My brother is very sick and my family travels twice a week one hour to visit him in the hospital. I want to be committed to the team but right now, my brother is more important. I hope you can understand.” If someone is belittling you, realize that no one can make your thoughts worthless. If you think them, they are valuable. That does not mean they are always right. Thus, be aware of the...

Осознайте разницу между позитивным общением и агрессивными реакциями. Используйте позитивный язык тела. Старайтесь говорить от первого лица. Не занимайте оборонительную позицию. Помните, что вы сами определяете ценность своих мыслей. Объясните различия в культурах, в стиле жизни.


Being considerate means recognizing when someone would need your help before they even ask for it. This can be anything from opening a door for a person on crutches to picking up lunch for your best friend when she's having a stressful day cramming for an exam. As long as you don't give help to people who really don't want it, you will be acting considerate. Keep an eye out for situations, big or small, when you could really help a person out. Always be observant to see if someone needs something, even if he or she is afraid to ask for it. Here are some examples of ways to be considerate:  Hold doors open for people Pull out chairs for people Make room for people who sit next to you Let older people take your seat if you're on a bus or a train Pick up coffee for a fellow coworker if you're going on a coffee run Help your parents out by doing extra chores when they are clearly overwhelmed Run an errand for a significant other or roommate Another part of being considerate is demonstrating good manners. If you want to be considerate of others, then you can't be rude, loud, or annoying in social situations. You don't have to be prince charming, but you should be able to have basic good manners so that the people around you feel comfortable and cared for. Whether you're hanging out with your friends or hanging out at your Grandma's 80th birthday party, you should demonstrate good manners, even if the meaning of "good manners" changes slightly depending on your audience. Here are some ways to have good manners:  Avoid cursing or being overly vulgar If you burp, excuse yourself Put a napkin on your lap when you eat and avoid getting food all over yourself Don't loudly slurp your drink Make room for people on the sidewalk Avoid gross or inappropriate topics in front of the wrong audience Another way to be considerate is to share with others. Maybe you brought a delicious box of your mother's cookies to lunch and can't wait to devour them all, but you should ask your coworkers if they want any. Maybe you brought some...

Being cool isn't just about being popular, it's about being known.The easiest way to get your name and face recognized is by joining groups at school. Try to join a few that don't overlap – that way you'll meet the most people and develop a wide variety of interests. One idea is to join one of every kind of activity: one athletic, one academic, and one artistic. You could be on the basketball team, on the school newspaper, and in choir. It'll look good on your college resume, too. Try to identify who's where on the "social ladder." It's not that big of a deal (being cool is about being liked, which is different than being popular), but it will help you know how to identify with people. What are the cool kids like? Are they jocks, are they smart, are they rebels? How about the mid-crowd? Do they follow along or sort of do their own thing? And the lowest tier, what about them? With whom in which groups do you want to be friends with? It's a good idea to be friends with people on all rungs of the ladder – you never know where you'll end up. If you do want to be popular, it's a good idea to befriend one of the nicer popular people; they'll be your ticket into "the group." Just make sure you don't abuse people on your way up. Sometimes friends don't work out, and then the rejects won't even want you later when you need a friend. Being cool doesn't necessarily mean you're popular. There are plenty of "popular" kids that are mean and not actually liked. Being one of them won't get you anywhere. Instead, aim to be popular and cool by having people legitimately like you. To do that, just be friendly and nice to everyone you meet. Why would you do anything else, right? You probably have a pretty good grip on how to be friendly. The only thing to keep in mind is to be friendly to those people that you think aren't cool. Give them help when you sense they need it. Say hi in the hallways if you know them. You never know – they could be the next cool kid in a few months' time. Just because you're trying to move into the...

Being detail-oriented is an incredibly important part of the job, even if you’re working as a commercial baker. You’ll need to closely monitor your baked goods to make sure that they don’t burn while being cooked to perfection. If you bake cupcakes or cakes, then you’ll need to have an eye for detail in order to decorate those cakes and cupcakes to perfection. You’ll also need an eye for detail in order to follow recipes and cooking instructions to perfection, or to tweak those recipes thoughtfully if you’re trying out something slightly different. You’ll also need an eye for detail if you’re taking orders from customers so you know exactly what they want. Though you may think that creativity may be the last skill you need when it comes to being a baker, in fact, you may need to use your creative faculties to succeed in your career. If you work as a craft baker and create your own recipes, you may need your creativity to try something different, so you can keep your customers interested in your goods. You may also need your creativity if you’re missing a certain ingredient or two while still needing to cook a certain baked good or pastry, or if you want to fix a recipe where something has already gone wrong. Sometimes, the most important part of your job will lie in improvising, and you’ll need your creativity to make things work. Of course, if you don’t work for yourself, you shouldn’t spend all day experimenting, or you’ll have an unhappy boss and many confused customers. However, if you have the means and the green light, then being creative can lead to some of your best discoveries. You may think that bakers work in isolation, perfecting their craft as they make delicious treats. However, people skills are actually vital for most bakers. If you work in a retail store where you have to interact with customers, then you’ll need to have people skills in order to talk to customers, take their orders, and keep them happy with your store and your products. As you move further along in your career, you may have...

Being fashionable requires a bit of creative improvisation. Experiment with new looks and disregard anything that you don't feel comfortable with.  Updating your wardrobe can seem like a daunting task and can easily get expensive, which can be difficult especially if you’re still growing and don’t have a lot of extra money, but you can do a lot with a little. Separate your clothes into two categories: clothes you like and wear, and clothes you don’t wear. Clean out your wardrobe by donating or selling the clothes you don’t wear. Then take a look at your “keep” pile. Note which clothes are fashionable and which ones aren’t. This will help you start to build a base for your updated wardrobe. Ask a parent, older sibling, girlfriend, or any fashionable friend to go shopping with you. They might be able to offer advice and pick out some great clothes for you.  Your siblings or your friends will be able to give you advice on what works or doesn’t work for you and can help you pick out something that you might not on your own. Create a list of clothing items that you need as staples. For example, you may want to get one pair of jeans you can wear for almost any occasion, a pair of chinos, a casual button down shirt, dress shirt, and a sweater. Often times we hang onto clothes that don't fit or we hardly ever wear. Gather up these clothes and donate them to a charitable organization or sell them to a resale shop. Be prepared that your parents may be reluctant to throw out clothes that still fit you.  If your parents are reluctant to let you get rid of the clothes you already have, you can try selling them to earn your own money for new clothes. Just make sure that you are upfront with your parents. Being a teenager can make it hard to find the right fit since you may grow several inches in just a few months. Check out consignment stores for cheaper clothes, or shops like H&M and asos, which offer plenty of trendy items at lower prices.  Shopping at stores that offer lower prices can also help you to convince your...

Being honest about your feelings is not easy, especially if you think you will disappoint someone. Showing complete transparency can be a healthy way to get out of doing something that you have a good reason for avoiding. Your honesty may be well received, and it may open up an important dialogue between you and another. On the other hand, you might find yourself wishing that you’d stayed quiet. Be tactful when you approach the conversation. Find a time to talk privately with the person. Use a friendly and firm voice that communicates your true feelings about the situation. Provide an alternative if appropriate.  For example, if your parents want to do something with you, but you have too much homework, let them know. Try saying, “I know this is important to you, but catching up on work is really my top priority right now. Let’s eat together tomorrow when I’m finished with this essay.” Communicate dislike for others softly. If you’re invited to a party with people you don’t care for, for example, say something like, “It is so nice of you to invite me, but I don’t get along so well with that crowd.” A conversation with your boss might be a bit harder. Maybe you really hate the job you’ve been assigned, but you don’t want to quit completely. Try saying, “Ms. Bartlett, I wanted to talk to you about the project. I’m trying my best but it’s been weighing me down and I need to take break. Can we talk about a different topic for my next assignment?” Set a day and time for the things you need to do to have a productive week. That way you’ll have a concrete reason to not do something if you get an invitation or are asked to do something extra for work or school. Pre-booked personal activities might include times dedicated to working, exercising, or family time.  If you are a student, you might designate certain evenings for an extracurricular activity or have a homework day on the weekend. If you’re asked to attend an event, you can say, “Sorry, but I have soccer practice that day.” Remember to do the thing you say...

Being jovial and light hearted can help you make the people around you feel good. Laughing releases endorphins and reduces stress levels in the body. Girls want to feel good about themselves when they are with a guy, so if you can make them laugh, you’re doing a good thing. Being cocky or a jerk makes you look like you don’t care about others' feelings. Girls like guys that show respect to them, their friends, and other people. Be willing to help her along the way to achieving her goals. It is important for girls to know that they have someone who is in their corner and will provide encouragement when they want to do something. Everyone changes what they want from time to time. Even if a girl liked something one day, it is not guaranteed that she will like it tomorrow. Be willing to accept changes and go with the flow to keep her comfortable and happy. A girl wants a guy who is caring and compassionate.  She needs to know that she is your number 1 and wants you to take an interest in her life.  Showing true compassion in front of a girl shows her that you are capable of loving.

Being mindful of your impulses can help you correct them. Whenever you feel the urge to stare, make a mental note about it. Over time you will recognize triggers that make you want to stare and you can work on ignoring them. Let the impulse you’re feeling disappear by distracting yourself with counting. If you count to ten and you still want to stare, keep counting higher until the urge is gone. Whenever you feel the urge to stare at a girl’s chest, do something else instead. Try looking up at the ceiling, checking your phone, tapping a finger against your palm, or rolling up the sleeves of your shirt. The behavior itself isn’t important; you just want to have a go-to habit that you can do instead of staring whenever you get the urge. If you or the girl are distressed by your staring, and you can't stop, take a break. Politely end the conversation you’re having and leave. In some cases, it’s better to acknowledge your impulse in your head and remove yourself from the situation than it is to stare.  For example, you could excuse yourself to go use the restroom. Return when you feel calm enough to control your behavior.

Being on time actually means making sure you're there a few minutes early in the morning, ready to work. Also, when you are supposed to attend meetings, always be on time. If you do end up being late at some point, having a reputation for being on time will be helpful. It will be more likely that you will be forgiven for being late. If you're supposed to take an hour lunch break, make sure you're back within the hour. Also, follow your break rules. If you're allowed 4 breaks a day at 10 minutes each, make sure to stick to that. You should be trained to do your job when you first arrive. However, if you find yourself a year or two in, and you still don't have all the knowledge you need, ask someone for help. If you want to be discreet, ask someone who works at the same level as you to give you a few pointers. Similarly, if you don't understand a new assignment, ask for clarification from your boss. Your boss usually won't mind because you're just trying to get the job done right. While you're at work, be at work. Don't be on the phone with non-business calls except for the rare emergency. Avoid social media and other distractions. Focus on the tasks at hand.

Being open to new experiences is a source of freedom because you're expanding your horizons, discovering new hidden talents and keeping yourself open to the goodness of life.  See new experiences as opportunities rather than as burdens or something to be worried about. Most of the battle is inside your head, before you've given the new activity a go. Congratulate yourself every time you try something new. And tell others what you've done, to reinforce its good. Your story may help others to live more freely too Movies all have soundtracks and so should you. Walking down the street on a horrible rainy day, pick yourself up with something that gets your feet moving and your mind entertained. Spontaneity is often lost upon entering the adult world of work, parenting and societal obligations. Conforming to what's expected of each adult in society tends to quell the opportunities for breaking free now and then, to do something out-of-character. Restoring a little spontaneity and impulsiveness to your life can bring back some balance.  Check out the fun things that Improv Everywhere has done, like gathering over two hundred people to walk around downtown using the famous "invisible dog" toy and pretending they were real. Doing something that makes people stare is a great way to live free and get out of the box you're trapped in.

Just keep walking in no particular direction and don't stop until you have to. There's something great about taking a walk with no direction or goal in mind.

Shaking up the regular way of things can help you to become more enthusiastic about each day. Who knows what will happen!

Being playful is a form of begin flirtatious. Sometimes, a guy will be too afraid to ask for your phone number because he won't think you're into him. It's up to you to let him know that you're interested and would love to see him again and to give him your number. To be playful, just tease him a bit, lightly pat him on the arm, and just show that you don't take yourself too seriously. If you're out, you can even dance with him without getting all serious and making intense eye contact. Keep things light and fun. Don't be afraid to flirt a little bit without coming on too strong. To flirt with the guy, you can twist your hair a bit, touch his arm, and laugh a little bit more than you normally would. Just don't overdo it or he may feel overwhelmed or like you like him a little bit too much. Here are some other ways to flirt with the guy:  Give him a subtle compliment. Tell him you like his shoes or that he has a great smile. Keep it subtle. Obviously saying "OMG you're the hottest guy I've ever seen!!!" will turn him off. Lower your voice. Speaking more softly will make you sound more mysterious, and will have the bonus effect of having the guy lean closer to talk to you. Keep it light. Flirt with him, and then pull back a bit. You don't want it to get too serious too fast. Another way to let the guy know that you're interested is to give him subtle clues with your body. The way you carry yourself and the way you look at him can give him the indication that you're really into him. This will make him much more likely to ask for your number. Here's what you can do:  Make eye contact. Look him in the eyes when you talk to him so he knows that he has your full attention. If it gets too intense, look away for a little while. Lick your lips occasionally. This will help him see what's on your mind. Lean toward him. Position your body, shoulders, and legs toward him, so he sees that you really like him. If you're turned away, then he'll think you're looking for something better to do. Touch him occasionally. This will...

Being respectful, instead of catty or sarcastic, is a way of showing other people that you are a true professional. Encourage others to speak up in meetings, and don't belittle what they have to say. Don't respond rudely to people, even if you think the idea sounds silly. . Part of treating others well is listening well. It shows other people that you actually care what he or she has to say, and it fosters true conversation, as you're not just waiting until they finish talking so you can say what you want. Remember that listening is different than hearing. It is important to make sure that you fully understand what the other person says and consider their point of view. If you talk about people behind their back, eventually it will get back around to them, which won't make anyone happy. If you stay out of the drama, you'll definitely appear more professional. If something you worked on goes awry, don't push it off on someone else. Own up to it, and figure out how to do better in the future. If you realize something is going wrong in the middle of a project, bring it up with your boss; maybe together you can figure out how to fix it. Professionals tell the truth about their work, both to their co-workers and their clients. Lying will eventually be found out and make you look unprofessional. Though you should be confident in your work, you shouldn't try to take others down to make your work look better. For instance, if you finish your work quicker than others, your boss will notice without you crowing about it. People love to hear the sound of their name. If you use peoples' names often, they will feel more respected by you. For example, when you pass a coworker in the hall, don't just say “hello.” Say, “Hello, Craig!” or “Hi, Annie!”

Being sassy isn't exactly a stereotype that's easily accessible in modern society; however, that does seem to be slowly changing. There are more and more women in media who are stronger, bolder, and sassier by the minute. So find a role model and get some inspiration. Sometimes we need an example to follow! Prominent examples that come to mind? Beyoncé, Ke$ha, Rihanna, even Taylor Swift has her sassy moments. Kristin Wiig, Jennifer Lawrence, and Tina Fey are good, too. Though your Aunt Jean isn't a bad idea, either! If a hobo is sassy, she's just being insubordinate and might be a little drunk. But if a girl who's rocking the style is sassy, she's got the whole package. While it shouldn't have anything to do with the clothes you wear, it definitely helps. When your clothes have a punch of attitude, it'll be easier for you to feel the sass, too. "Stylishly" is obviously relative. If you're into the punk scene, you're not going to think haute couture is stylish. Trust whatever this word means to you. The important thing to take away from this is that your clothes have an effect on people -- including you. Can you imagine being sassy in a walrus outfit? There is something about sassy that is unafraid. It's willing to go outside of the box and do whatever it takes. So if being confident is easy if speaking your mind is easy, take it to the next level and challenge your fears -- you'll be all the better for it. You'll be bolder and shine brighter. What's not to like? So whether it's public speaking, heights, or slugs, challenge yourself. You're not afraid of challenging others, right? You call 'em out, you tell it as it is, you're honest -- so you have to be honest with yourself, too. It's only fair! Dunno where to start? How about wikiHow's How to Overcome Fear article?

Being selfless starts with having the ability to see beyond your personal concerns and empathize with others, even those you've never met. If you're constantly consumed by your own problems and status, you won't have time or energy to act selflessly. Having greater awareness of the world outside your head is the first step to becoming more selfless. Here are some ways you can get some perspective:   Listen when other people are talking. Really listen, instead of letting your mind wander when someone is confiding to you about his or her troubles, or telling you an exciting story. Allow yourself to get completely absorbed in someone else's world for a change.  Read, watch, or listen to the news. Make it a point to be aware of major world events as well as happenings in your own city. Read novels. Studies show that reading literary fiction improves your ability to be empathetic.  Pick some issues to learn more about. Look around you. What central issues are affecting your community? For example, maybe the river in your town is so polluted that it's causing people to get sick. Pick something you want to learn more about, then read as much about it as possible so you'll gain a deeper understanding. Empathy and selflessness go hand in hand. If you understand how someone else feels, you'll be more likely to be moved to act selflessly toward that person. You can have empathy toward people you've never met, too. Practice imagining yourself in other people's situations. If you were the one experiencing the problem, how would you feel? How would you want to be treated? Selfless people don't act with kindness and generosity with the expectation of getting credited for it. They do it because it's the right thing to do, and because it feels good to help other people when you have the capacity to do so. Donating something anonymously is a good way to practice being generous without needing to get something in return. Have you ever experienced a rush of joy when you made someone else happy? Some people wonder whether it's...
