If you’re not comfortable, you’ll have a hard time concentrating on what you are studying. Find a space that is tidy, private, and comfortable, and that gives you plenty of room to spread out. If your preferred space doesn’t have a comfortable chair, consider bringing your own cushion with you. Good study spaces could include a desk in your room, a study carrel or cubicle in your school library, or a table in a quiet coffee shop. It can be very hard to concentrate with a lot of background noise. Find a place to study where you won’t be distracted by people talking, construction sounds, or other people’s music. If you can, put on a little quiet, non-distracting background music to help drown out bothersome noise. If you have to study around other people, such as family or roommates, let them know in advance that you need to be left alone for a certain period of time while you study. Dim or flickering lights can distract you and make it harder to see what you are studying. If you are studying during the day, pick a spot with plenty of natural light. For nighttime study, or if you don’t have access to a sunny window, choose a spot with a full-spectrum fluorescent light. It’s easy to get sidetracked when you have easy access to social media, games, or things to watch while you’re studying. Try to work in a room without a TV, or at least keep the TV off while you are studying. If you can, turn your phone off or put it on airplane mode to reduce the temptation to browse social media. If you’re working on your computer, try a productivity-boosting browser extension like StayFocused to keep you away from time-eating websites. If you get too comfy, you may find that the temptation to nod off is overwhelming. If you’re feeling sleepy, it might also be best to avoid studying on a couch or in a cozy armchair. Sit at a desk or table instead. If you come to associate being in bed with studying, this can also make it harder for you to fall asleep there at night.

If you’re not convinced you’re really into someone, it’s good to know the usual indicator of a strong attraction. In general, when you really like another person, you seem to think about them all the time, even when you’re not with them. You can’t wait to learn all about them.  You’re excited to introduce them to your friends. The hot girl/guy in the apartment across the hall no longer catches your interest. You feel like you’re invincible.  If you don’t feel overly excited about the prospect of seeing this other person and getting to know more about them, chances are, you could be just using them to fill a void. A great way to get to the bottom about your feelings is to take a break from the relationship. Getting some time apart can help you reflect on your attraction for the person and decide how you feel when they’re not around. You don’t have to come out and tell the person why you need space. But, you can say, “We’re moving really fast and I want to slow it down. Can you give me the week/weekend to think?” Spend some time reflecting on what attracted you to your partner. Sit down and make a list. Review your list for any red flag that point to this person being a solution for your loneliness.  For example, does your list describe their quirky personality, honesty, and ambition, which are healthy traits to desire in a partner? Or, do you simply like that they are always available when you call? Other examples might be that this person is attractive and makes you look good in front of your friends. Maybe you don't care about them beyond the fact that they symbolize your ability to find an attractive mate. Now for the moment of truth: ask yourself if there is something truly unique about the other person that attracts you. Reflect on this as you get space from the relationship. What are they providing that is special and different from what you get from others? Can someone else fulfill their purpose? For example, are you glad to have someone to go out with on weekends? Pretty much anyone can give you that....

If you’re not quite ready to tell your friend how you feel, flirting with her might help you to decide. Try giving your friend compliments, making eye contact with her more often, and possibly even engaging in some playful teasing.For example, you could say something like, “You look amazing in that dress! I can’t take my eyes off of you!” Or, you might say, “You’re so sweet! I could just eat you up!”

If you’re not sure whether your symptoms are from kidney stones, it’s important to get a medical exam and a proper diagnosis. Your doctor can rule out any other possible conditions or complications that could be causing your symptoms. They can also help you figure out the best course of treatment for your kidney stones.  Common symptoms of kidney stones include pain (in the side, back, abdomen, or groin), painful urination, pink or brown urine, nausea or vomiting, urgent or frequent urination, and fever or chills (if you have a secondary infection). You might feel sudden, constant pain in one side of your back, which is called renal colic. Even if you’ve had kidney stones before, talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. If your doctor suspects kidney stones, they may strain your urine to check for kidney stones or to try to determine their composition. Sometimes, kidney stones can cause additional complications that need medical attention right away (such as blockages or infections). Call emergency services or go to the emergency room if:  Your pain is so bad that you can’t stay still or get comfortable in any position. You have nausea and vomiting along with pain. You have pain with fever and chills. You see blood in your urine or have difficulty passing any urine. If your kidney stones are relatively small, you may be able to manage the pain with over-the-counter pain medication. Common options include ibuprofen (Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and naproxen (Aleve).  Before taking any of these medications, tell your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking or additional health concerns you may have. Some doctors recommend combining acetaminophen with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen for greater pain relief. Ask your doctor if you can safely use these medications together. If your pain is too severe to manage with over-the-counter medications, your doctor may prescribe something stronger. While moving around may be the last thing...

If you’re positive that you have a living, breathing player on your hands, then the first thing you need to do is to decide if you really want to engage. If you’re sensitive, looking for true love, and want a man you can spend a lot of your time with, then you should not engage. However, if you’re okay with being with a guy who sees other people, and with seeing other people yourself, then you can go for it, but you should know what to expect before you start the relationship. Of course, before you decide if you want to play, you have to make sure you’re dealing with a player first. Don’t use reputation alone to make your decision, and see for yourself. Check to see if the guy really does see multiple girls at once or if he’s just a flirt; there’s a big difference. One way to keep yourself from getting hurt is to not expect the world from the player. He can take you out to dinner, he can kiss you passionately in the moonlight later, and he can whisper sweet nothings in your ear all night long, but he won’t be there to pick up soup for you when you’re feeling sick or to meet your mother. As long as you know what the player is good and isn’t good for, you’ll be able to deal with him without a problem. If you’re looking to find Mr. Right, then he may not be it. Though some players do change and settle down, this is not the norm. If you’re the jealous type, then there’s no sense in trying to get anything going with a player. If you find yourself getting jealous when you’re dating completely monogamous, totally committed guys, then dating a player is out of the question for you. However, if you’re okay with more casual flings and don’t care who else is texting your man — and don’t care if he knows who else is texting you — then you’ll be able to deal with the player much more easily. If you express jealousy, then the player is likely to back off, since he won’t have the patience to deal with it. As soon as you start getting suspicious or antsy, he’ll begin to suspect this isn’t the right thing for him. Then again,...

If you’re reading a story, pretend you are the protagonist.  Change it up and pretend you’re the antagonist.  You can even pretend you’re a minor (or made-up) character observing the scenario from within the story. Relate to what is happening to the characters, however you are able to do so. If you’re reading more technical material, pause when you’re not understanding something.  Re-read a paragraph you didn’t fully understand.  Comprehending more the second time will re-invigorate both your enjoyment of the text and your motivation to continue reading.  Look up words and concepts you don’t recognize. New tendrils of thought and knowledge will increase your attachment to the text you’re reading. Appreciate that you’re learning from the book, and take pride in doing so. Ask friends if they have read the book. If they have, ask them about the book, the story, the plot, the concepts considered, etc.  Knowing that someone else has read or is reading the same book makes the act of reading feel more communal, and this can motivate you to continue reading. Read a different account of the same issue, a different perspective, or a different story set in the same time period or context.  Comparing and contrasting what these other texts say with what you’ve already read can renew your interest in the book you want to get through.  Don’t read too much of another book, only enough to add to your understanding or interest in the book you want to get through. If you’ve commit to reading a book, don’t let what might just be a boring patch throw you off course.  Remind yourself that a less interesting part may be setting the tone for something important or interesting later on.

If you’re really good at a subject in school, or at playing an instrument like guitar or piano, you can offer to tutor your friends or neighbors down the street for some extra cash. Know, though, that your friends may also not have a lot of extra money, so be generous and don’t overcharge your buddies.  If you are in the same class as your friend and you are better at that subject, you can offer to tutor your friend and help with the homework and studying for tests. If you have a younger sibling, you can also offer to tutor your sibling so your parents don’t have to always be checking up on grades and homework. One of the most profitable ways to make money easily for kids is to babysit. Start by offering to babysit your own sibling, and once you’ve got some experience, reach out to the neighborhood.  Take a babysitting course. Red Cross offers a certified course that trains you gives you skills from handling children to teaching you what to do if there’s a medical issue. Being certified will help you get jobs and may even let you charge more. Get referrals. Ask your parents to reach out to friends who might need a babysitter, and post signs up around your neighborhood. Treat babysitting like it’s your own business. Come up with a name, and choose a rate to charge. Consider joining and online babysitting network like Sittercity. During the summer months, when you don’t have school, but your parents still need to go to work, holding a daycare service in the neighborhood can be another great way to make some extra money. This works best if you have some friends helping you out too.  Not all parents will want to leave their kids with you all day, but if you have established yourself as a reliable babysitter, you may have some luck.  This method works best if you are a little bit older and have some other friends helping you out. Advertise your daycare around the neighborhood and feature fun activities for the kids to do. Maybe you organise a park day where you play games like kickball. Or you hold an arts and...

If you’re struggling to identify your passion, you may want to consider what you enjoyed doing as a child. Make a list of the activities you lived for as a kid, from playing with legos to dressing up dolls. Consider if you would enjoy doing that activity now, but in a different context. If you were really into building with legos, for example, this could indicate your passions might lie in architecture or construction. If you enjoyed dressing up your dolls, this could indicate your passions might be geared more toward fashion or styling. Taking a childhood passion and translating it into a viable job or field of study could lead to a more fulfilling career and a more full life. Your personal values are your core principle beliefs or the ideas that are the most important to you. Determining your personal values can help you determine if you are passionate about your job, your field of study, or even your relationships. You can ask yourself some guiding questions to help identify your personal values:  Consider two individuals you respect or admire. Why do you admire them? What characteristics do they embody that you admire or appreciate? If you could change or shift one thing in your community, what would you change and why? What world issue would you change if you could? What issues or problem get you the most charged in conversation with others? Consider a moment that was satisfying to you or made you feel good. Identify that moment and consider why you felt so satisfied in that moment. Look over your answers to these questions and try to identify any themes or common ideas. These principles, beliefs, and ideas are likely some of your personal values. You can then use your personal values to help you determine your priorities in life and how these priorities can shape your passions in your career, your schooling, and your relationships. Your “best possible future self” is a personalized representation of your goals and the future you envision for yourself. Doing a best possible self exercise can help you...

If you’re struggling with exactly how to say ‘thank you’ to someone, or what to say in a ‘thank you’ card, try using the who, what and when template. Start the ‘thank you’ process by making a list of everyone you need to send a ‘thank you’ card to.  For example, if it was your birthday and you received several gifts, write a list of everyone you received a gift from (and what they gave you).  This list should also include the names of anyone who helped you plan an event (e.g. birthday party). There are six basic parts to any personal ‘thank you’ note — the greeting, the expression of thanks, the details, the next time, the restatement, and the regards.   The Greeting is simple.  Start the ‘thank you’ note with the names of the people you are thanking.  If it’s a formal ‘thank you’ note, greet them formally (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith), if it’s family or a close friend, greet them informally (e.g. Hey Mom).  The Expression of Thanks is where you thank whomever for whatever they did.  The easiest thing to do is start this part with the words ‘thank you.’  But you can be more creative if you wish (e.g. It made my day when I opened my birthday gift from you).  The Details is where you get specific.  Adding specific details about why you’re thanking the person makes the note much more sincere and personal.  You might want to mention the specific gift you received, or what you spent gift money on, etc.  The Next Time is where you mention something about the next time you’ll see or speak to this person.  For example, if you’re sending a ‘thank you’ note to your grandparents and you’re going to see them shortly at Christmas, mention that.  The Restatement is where you wrap up your ‘thank you’ note with another message of thanks.  You can write another sentence (e.g. Thank you again for your generosity, I’m so very much looking forward to college and this money is going to help significantly) or you can simply say ‘thank you’ one more time.  The Regards is similar to the greeting except this time you’re signing your name. ...

If you’re talking to other people, this means you are also listening to what they have to say. Boring people don’t listen, but instead only wait for the other person to stop talking so they can start; instead, always listen to others so you can have a two-way conversation with them.  Pay attention to the other person’s body language. If they are slouched, have their arms crossed, or seem disengaged, they may be bored by your conversation. Ask plenty of questions about the other person. Try to avoid standard conversation starters like “What do you do for a living?” but instead ask fun questions like “What’s the best part of your week?” or “What makes you feel passionate?” Boring people often have no opinions or are afraid to share their opinions. Sharing your opinions shows that are paying attention and have something to contribute.  If you disagree with someone, be considerate of their opinion. Don’t attack them, but show that you are listening and engaging with them. When you do share your opinion, make sure to know both sides of the conversation. Otherwise, you may come across as uninformed. Look for opportunities to have a good time. Boring people are often inhibited or afraid to do something that seems crazy; instead, try to always look for a way to have fun with others.  If you have any skills or talents, show them off. Don't make yourself the center of attention, but find ways to show that you know how to do things. Try not to worry too much what others think. If you're feeling and acting natural, that will make you a less boring person. Boring people often moan about their life and work, whereas less boring people see life more positively. Talk about the things you care about, not the things that bother you. If you are talking to people about what you are excited about in life, you are more interesting and engaging to others. Being passionate really shows through in your nonverbal body language. Focus on the talents and skills of other people as well. When you're talking to them, ask them about things...

If you’re too direct about your intentions, your target will be turned off faster than you can say, “You’re so hot.” Though subtle compliments are key, you should avoid being too aggressive, making overly sexual comments, or just generally laying it on too thick. This will make you cross over from “flirting with her” to “hitting on her.”  Don't be too aggressive. If you say, "Hey, want to make out?" she'll walk away. Instead, say, "I like your lip gloss." Don't make overly sexual comments. Don't say, "You have a great rack," or she'll spill her drink in your face. Instead, tell her she looks great in her outfit. Don't give the girl all of your attention. You shouldn't spend all night talking to the girl and ignoring everyone else or it may get too intense. Though subtlety is key, you don’t want to be so subtle that the girl has no idea that you’re interested. To keep up your flirting, you have to find ways to let the girl know you care, whether big or small. If you try too hard to be subtle, then you’ll look aloof and the girl may not think you’re worth it.  Drop at least a few hints that you're interested. If you give the girl nothing to work with, she won't think you like her. Make it clear that she's not in the Friend Zone. Compliment her looks, let her know she's special, or just generally treat your conversation like the preamble to a date. If you don't let her know she's special, she'll think you just like her as a friend. Flirting is a key element of talking to a new girl you like, but you shouldn’t flirt 100% of the time or you won’t be able to get closer to the girl. Remember to stop and ask the girl some questions about herself and to get into a variety of topics. If your entire conversation is nothing but flirty banter, you won’t be able to move forward.  You can flirt and move a conversation forward. You can still be playful and fun while asking the girl some genuine questions. Make sure to let her know at least a bit about yourself by the end of the conversation. She should walk away knowing at...

If you’re using a manual crossbow, place your foot into the stirrup located at the front of the bow, then pull the string toward the back of the device until it cocks. Make sure to keep the string as even as possible. For crank crossbows, attach your crank to the device if necessary, then simply turn the crank until the bow cocks. After cocking the bow, place a crossbow bolt or arrow into the barrel of the device and line the cock vane up with the barrel channel. For safety, load the arrow from the top of the device, keeping your hand away from the main chamber and the front of the bow at all times. Similar to a rifle, bring the crossbow up to your dominant shoulder and either push it into the pocket of your shoulder or let it sit on top of your shoulder. Then, place your non-dominant hand below the crossbow to steady it, making sure to keep your fingers away from the main chamber. Do not freehand your crossbow as it can lead to inaccurate and dangerous shots. Freehanding is when someone holds their crossbow in 1 hand and attempts to shoot it. If your crossbow has a scope, peer through it and line the aiming reticles up with your target. Make sure to check your scope’s user manual so you know what each reticle means. If your device does not have a specialty scope, line up your shot using the crossbow’s peep sight or other alignment device. When you’re ready to shoot, hold your crossbow steady and double check your scope or sight. Then, pull the trigger like you would on a gun. When the arrow releases, you’ll hear a slight pop from the trigger.

If you’re wishy-washy or don’t make a clear case for why you don’t feel well, your teacher, the nurse, or a school administrator might not believe you.  Particularly if you’re faking sick, the key is to tell them exactly what you need -- to go home as soon as possible.   Don’t confuse assertiveness with aggression. Be clear about what you need, but don’t be hostile or angry. When talking to your teacher, you might want to say something like, “I’m feeling really bad and think I may need to leave. Can I please go to the nurse to talk to her about that?” When you see the nurse, remember to make your case with specific symptoms. For example, “I’m feeling nauseous and have vomited once already. I’ve also had a headache and chills all day. Could I please go home?” If there’s an obvious reason why you might want to skip school that day, and your teacher, the nurse, or an administrator knows that, you’ll want to get ahead of the game by mentioning that yourself.   If you’re talking to your teacher, try saying something like, “I feel awful about missing my group presentation this afternoon. As soon as I’m feeling better and back in school, could we please talk about the best way to make that up?” If you’re trying to convince the nurse to let you go home, try saying, “I know what my teacher’s make up test policy is, so I’m planning to come in and take it during study hall on Friday, assuming I’m feeling better by then.” Particularly if you’ve turned in a fake note, there’s a chance that an administrator will want to call home to verify that you really do need to leave early. If your parent or guardian really did write the note, just be sure they’re prepared to keep the lie going for you when they answer the phone.  If you faked the note yourself, some possible solutions include  Give a number you know no one will answer. If your parents are at work, you could give them your home number.

If you’re working on uncovering a large area of land, you will likely require the help of 2-3 people in the process. You each will need pruning shears or a hacksaw to cut through the largest vines and roots. Ivy grows outwards and can quickly spread to cover a large portion of the ground, easily growing over other plants and objects. A large area completely covered in ivy, typically in a shaded section of land, is called an ivy desert. The first step is to find the edges of this area, and making note of any large plants the ivy covers in the interior of the section. Use a pair of pruning shears and work your way around the ivy desert, cutting through the thickest branches and roots. If the area you are working with is quite large, cut through it in smaller sections so that you don’t have to work with so much space at once. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder next to your volunteer helpers, and begin to roll the ivy as if it were a giant mat into a log shape. Continue rolling until the entire area of ground has been exposed, and all the ivy is contained within the roll. Depending on the size of the land you’re working on, you may have to create several logs of ivy to carry out. Ivy can still re-root itself in the ground even when it has been cut off, so remove the ivy logs you’ve just rolled from the premises. You can dispose of these in a safe place later, after you’ve made sure the ground is ivy-free. As aforementioned, it doesn’t take much ivy to start another huge patch. Before heading off in confidence with your ivy logs, be sure to take a few minutes to review the weeded area. Pick up any remaining ivy, and cut/pull out the roots if they are visible. A layer of mulch will discourage new ivy from taking hold. To make the vine's comeback even less likely, plant less invasive shade-loving plants such as hostas.

If you’ve been friends for a long time, it might be hard to see that the egomaniac isn’t really an exciting, larger than life personality. (S)he is just obsessed with themself. Egomaniacs can often be the life of the party, so many people are, at least initially, drawn to them. If your friend isn’t interested in you, or never gives you a chance to talk, it might be time for a change. Let the know that their behavior is hurting you and that you’d like to make some space in the relationship for your needs and feelings. You might say, “I care about you and our friendship, but I feel like we spend a lot of time talking about your feelings. I would like to share some of my experiences with you, but I’ll need you to listen.” There is a range of egotistical personalities, some more fixable than others, so pointing out a friend’s bad behavior might fix the problem. You are not required to maintain friendships that are detrimental to your happiness and well being. If the relationship seems truly toxic, cut ties and try not to feel guilty. Narcissism in intimate relationships can be especially difficult. Egomaniacs lack empathy, so a romantic partner can feel unloved and lonely.  Think about what needs you are fulfilling by partnering with an egoist. Often, it is a lack of self-worth or co-dependency.  Review your own childhood. A narcissistic parent might have trained you to deny your own needs in favor of someone else. Take control of the situation by respecting yourself and working on your own sense of self-esteem.  Do some activities that you are interested in, whether it's reading, gardening, or watching your favorite movie. Remember that you matter, too. When your partner begins another self-centered outburst, calmly say something like, "I understand that that you are really excited about your idea, but I've been listening to you talk for a while. I'd like you listen to some things that I have to share." Or, "It makes me feel like you don't care about me when you talk over me and ignore the things that I say. I...

Займите достойное место в семейных отношениях с нарциссической личностью.


If you’ve been promised something from your boss, whether it’s raise or a promotion, it likely has strings attached. Get clarification on what they need from you (higher productivity, more work hours, attending more trainings) in order to get that promotion or raise. Clarify with your boss when they expect to be able to fulfill the promise. Keep in mind it is best to clarify expectations in-person at the time the promise is made. You can summarize your understanding of the promise and get them to do the same until your on the same page. Writing alerts the boss to fact that you expect the promise to be met. Make notes as you meet with your boss in-person and send them a summary of your meeting after you leave. You can send an e-mail saying thank you for the discussion, summarizing the promise, and confirming that your understanding of expectations is accurate. If the promise has not been delivered according to your expectations, be careful before you react. Make sure your reaction is justified by evaluating if you're being impatient. Take a look at your calendar to determine if a reasonable amount of time has passed from when your boss made the promise.  Look back over what you wrote down about the promise and ensure you've fulfilled every requirement your boss asked you to before confronting your boss. Don't avoid reacting and confronting forever! If you're the type of person who always lets things slide or hopes for the best, your boss could take advantage of you by never delivering the promise. If you know you've fulfilled your end of the promise, look for other reasons for the delay. There could be a valid reason outside your control, or even your boss' control, that has left the promise undelivered. Look through your company manual, observe day-to-day practices, or consult with Human Resources for information you might not have received since the promise was first made. Some questions you might ask include:  Has your company been restructured, downsized, or bought out? Has your boss become ill or taken a...

If you’ve got foggy windows in the summer, turn down your air conditioner. This will warm up your car and get the inside air temperature to match the outside a bit better. You can also open your windows a bit to allow more outside air in (and it prevents your car from becoming too stifling). If the fog is on the outside of your windshield (as it will be during the summer), you can remove it with your windshield wipers. Simply turn them on to their lowest setting and let them run until the fog is gone. This is a quick way to get the temperature inside your car to match the temperature outside. Roll down your windows as far as you can so that the warm air outside gets into the cool interior of your car.

If you’ve just purchased an old house, ask the realtor or former homeowner about the hardwood floor’s history. If you’re unable to find information about your floor, you can test it to determine the finish.  Test finish soundness by applying a few drops of water onto a worn area. If the water beads for a few minutes, the finish is sound. If the water absorbs into the wood, the finish is unsound and water-based cleaning products must be avoided. Sound finishes are more likely to be modern, while unsound finishes are more likely to be older. Older hardwood floors are often spotted with caked, petrified materials, like dried paint, over-waxed deposits, or gum. If it was covered by linoleum or carpet, bits of the covering and adhesive might still be present. Hand scrape any of these materials with a plastic spatula or dull putty knife. If you have trouble, try placing a plastic bag filled with ice cubes on top of the gum or wax. Let it sit for a few minutes, then try scraping it off the floor. If your old flooring doesn't have any serious damage, it might just require a simple cleaning, buffing, and resealing. Remove all furniture and floor coverings, and take off your shoes or cover them with booties. Spray the floor with a small amount of hardwood floor cleaner. Wipe the floor down with a dry terry cloth mop or a terry cloth hand towel. It's best to clean a floor with an unsound finish with odorless mineral spirits. Dampen a terry cloth towel and wipe down the hardwood surface. Use a scouring pad or sanding screen to deal with tougher spots. It'll take some work to remove stains and odor if your hardwood flooring is in a room that was formerly used as a litter box. Pour hydrogen peroxide over the affected areas, cover them with rags soaked in hydrogen peroxide, then let them soak overnight. The next day, wipe up any excess cleaner, then screen or sand and refinish the floor.  If you're just dealing with one light stain, cover it with a rag soaked in hydrogen peroxide, but check it every 10 minutes. Wipe up...

If you’ve never been to your friend’s house, let them give you a tour to get you familiar with the layout of their house. It’s always interesting to see the ways that people’s houses are different than your own! Even if you’ve been to their house a million times, it can still be fun to have a look around. One big draw of going over to a friend’s house is being able to spend time with their pets! If your friend has pets, go over and say hi if they’re friendly. See if they are in the mood to play or take a walk. Make sure that your friend is with you, since your friend knows the pet best. Don’t force their pet to play with you. If their pet is sleeping, leave them be. They may wake up later and be in the mood to play! If you run into your friend’s parents, say hi and chat a little with them. Sometimes it’s easier to get along with other people’s parents than your own! Being on good terms with your friend’s parents is also a good way to feel more comfortable and welcome in your friend’s house. One great thing about going over to a friend’s house is raiding their pantry! Make sure that it’s ok with your friends and your friends parents, and then treat yourself to a snack that your own parents don’t have around the house. Just make sure to only take one or two snacks so you don’t take advantage of their hospitality!

Imagine the havoc you'll be able to cause with a Lego rubber band machine gun! If you have access to an electric motor, the mechanism can be surprisingly simple - all you need is a gear centered at the back of the gun's beam which can turn via the motor. More elaborate Lego machine guns can even incorporate "minigun" style rotating barrels. Stock up on rubber bands before going on a rampage with one of these. A high-powered Lego sniper rifle allows you to cleanly and precisely annoy your targets before they even see you. All sniper rifles will have an extra-long, sturdy beam to accommodate the long, strong rubber bands that will leave welts on your opponents. Advanced Lego sniper rifles can even incorporate a bolt-action firing mechanism and a mounted scope for extra accuracy. Building a tiny, concealed Lego gun is the perfect way to take out an unsuspecting friend or hit someone who thinks you're unarmed in a game of Lego tag. All you'll need to do is make a really small, basic lego gun - just a beam and a firing mechanism. Then, load it and strap it under a long sleeve or hide it in a rolled-up newspaper and BLAM! Your mark won't even know what hit them. Be creative - use your skills to make a Lego gun trap or hide your ninja gun in a crazy place!

Imagine you're walking with an elderly person. Better yet, walk with an elderly person. It's good for both of you. Stick your chest out and throw your shoulders back, inhale deeply, and "relax" into that position as you exhale. Let your arms hang down freely and they'll sway as you walk. Your hips should sway from side to side as well, especially if you allow your body's weight to "sit" on one foot completely before you shift it to the other. Don't just stare at your feet. One of the benefits of taking a relaxed stroll is that you have a chance to notice things you've never noticed before. Pay attention to your surroundings. Enjoy the scenery. Take it all in. Listen. Don't plot out a route. Don't designate a destination. As long as you can find your way back, take random turns and explore new areas. Avoid checking your watch (or if you're so inclined, learn to Tell Time Without a Clock). Many Buddhists incorporate walking meditations into their routine. Be mindful as you walk -- be aware of what each part of your body is doing and keep your breathing even. Try to focus entirely on your body and keep your mind from being distracted by sights and sounds that dispel your mindfulness. Be aware of your path and the natural world around you. Just don’t get caught up in looking at shop windows, listening to other people’s conversations, etc. Some people find meditating easier to do while walking than while sitting still for extended periods of time. You can also take the opportunity to Ground and Center as you walk: Imagine that every time you put your foot down, it connects with the center of the earth.

Immediately after a breakup—regardless of whether the relationship was six months or six years—your friend is likely to feel confused in addition to sadness. Your friend will likely want to start talking through this confusion almost immediately, and genuinely listening is one of the first and most meaningful steps you can take to show you care. No matter what reason someone gives us for breaking up, we’re always left with questions—“What could I have done differently?” or “Can I still fix this?” It’s perfectly logical for people to be confused about being rejected, especially if they don’t see the rejection coming. It’s always easier to maintain a friend through the good times, so it’s natural for hard times such as breakups to feel straining and frustrating on a friendship. Constantly remind yourself that it’s your job as a friend to be empathetic and involved even if it means listening to the same questions or stories repeatedly as your friend processes the new source of grief. Having patience through the process begins immediately and lasts the entire time. If it helps you, remind yourself of a similar time the friend helped you either through a breakup or maybe the loss of a job. Think objectively about how patient the friend was with you during your more difficult moments. Obviously, your friend doesn’t want to feel as though he or she is talking to a wall, so make sure you engage with the stories and questions raised to help make the person feel understood. During your responses, try to avoid empty cliches and platitudes about breakups, though. The last thing your friend wants to hear is that there are other fish in the sea because it invalidates his or her current emotional state.  In general, you should say things that both reassure your friend and acknowledge that his or her feelings are valid. Avoid telling the friend how to feel such as telling them to stay positive, and avoid immediately giving advice unless you are asked for it.  For example, instead of telling a friend to try to be more...

Immediately after your dog injures her pinna (ear flap), it's important to put pressure on the wound for several minutes to stop the bleeding. You can do this with your hands, or use an old sock or pantyhose legging to stop the bleeding.  Cut a hole in the toe end of an old sock or stocking.  Pull the sock/stocking over your dog's head, with her face all the way through the sock's hole. Be sure that your dog can see, breathe, and smell, and that the sock doesn't start to cover her head until it's past the eyes.  Tuck clean gauze (if you have it) underneath the sock at the site of the ear wound, so that the sock holds the gauze in place and applies gentle pressure to the wound. If you don't have gauze or an absorbent bandage, use clean, dry paper towels or napkins.  Keep the wounded ear bandaged flat against the head. If your dog has long ears, such as those of Cocker Spaniels or Dachshunds, lift the bleeding flap up and place it on top of the dog’s head so that the fur side is resting against your dog’s skull. The inner ear should be exposed to the air.  Take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. Your dog should see a veterinarian within 24 hours of the injury, but it's even better if you can get her in on the same day she has been injured. You can use a clean sanitary pad to apply pressure and stop bleeding if you don't have any gauze.  Apply the absorbent side of the pad to the site of the wound. Use medical tape to hold it in place (normal adhesive tape will work in a pinch), or simply apply pressure with your hands for several minutes while you wait for the wound to stop bleeding.  Be sure that the wounded ear is bandaged flat against the head to prevent further injury. If your dog has long ears, you should lift the bleeding flap up and place it on top of the dog’s head so that the fur side is resting against your dog’s skull.  Take your dog to the vet within 24 hours of her injury. If you don't have bandages or tape, you can use strips of clean cloth from an old towel, blanket, or t-shirt.  Rip long...

Immerse yourself with the other students and participate in the same activities. Don't walk the halls with your head lowered or skip lunch because you have no one to sit with; talk to people and get to know them. Show an interest in what's going on around you. Take part in classes like art and PE as these are often cooperative, team-building environments. Before long you'll start to pick up on what people are like and begin make friends that share common interests. If you're athletic or have a particular set of interests, research the organizations your new school offers and sign up for something you enjoy. Most schools host a diversity of recreational programs for sports, foreign languages, cinema studies and other special interest groups. Becoming a member of one of these groups can connect you to other students who like the same things you do and make you feel like part of something larger. Participation in extracurricular clubs and programs is also a good way to develop new skills and build valuable relationships and experience that could benefit you later on. Find out about school sporting events, dances, and parties and make sure you're there. These are all gatherings where you can come together with your new classmates outside the usual academic confines. If you're the outgoing type, plan your own party or outing as a way to advertise that you're new and interested in getting to know new people. You can usually find out what's going on in your school through daily announcements and bulletin board postings. Keep an eye out for events that pique your interest, as there will be others with the same interests in attendance. Like it or not, the modern age is dominated by the presence of social media, and it's an invaluable tool for forging connections with others. Add your new friends on Facebook or follow them on Instagram. These apps have sections that recommend new friends to you based on people you might know, and they'll also be able to see you and add you as a friend. Seeing other people on your...

Impressions can be a great way to get a laugh out of others. You can mock celebrities, politicians, or even your own friends and family if they’re not sensitive. Avoid impersonating people of different nationalities from you. For instance, never mock someone who has a thick Asian or Mexican accent when speaking English. How you move and gesture communicates a lot to the people you're talking to. The way you tell a story goes a long way toward making it funny, so practice making gestures as you talk.  Watch yourself tell a story in front of the mirror. Film yourself telling a story to see what your body language looks like. Keep practicing on camera to improve your gesturing. Being funny is also about recognizing the humor in others.  When your friends, family, or coworkers are funny, share in the joke by laughing with them.  People will see you as having a better sense of humor if you’re able to laugh and make others laugh. Most importantly, have fun!  Don’t get so caught up in making people laugh that you forget to enjoy yourself.  Remember, you are more than your humor.  So get out there and enjoy life!

Improving your sexual experiences requires getting rid of any expectations you or your partner may have. Do your best to be confident, playful, and excited to experience the blissful and often carnal pleasures of sex. Try not to focus on things while in the act like, “How am I doing?”, “How am I feeling?”, or “Do you love me?” At their core these questions are related to the expectations you have about your sexual experience with your partner, and they are usually born of fear. In asking these questions you are trying to judge what's happening against what you think you should be feeling emotionally, cognitively and physically, taking yourself out of the moment and distancing yourself from your partner and the experience.  Sexual intimacy is meant to be uninhibited and free. It should be performed in a playful manner, so don't bring any conflicts or personal emotional or cognitive needs to the sex experience. When done in this way, the result is pure ecstasy. The two of you may be kept apart by jobs and other responsibilities for a large portion of the day. When you are together, make it a point to be be in close physical contact with the other person. Kiss, hug, and caress your partner.  Even if you don’t end up having sex, physical touch will help generate more intimacy between the two of you. It also helps you relax and improves your physical and emotional health. Consider setting time aside each day for the two of you to snuggle, hug, or just sit close with each other. Know your partner’s turn-ons, and yours, too. Keep in mind these turn-ons may not necessarily be physical or sexual in nature. See if you can find a pattern in your lives together when you are both more amorous, and do your best to replicate those times!  Talk to your partner about when they most want to have sex. They might say, “After a romantic date,” or “When we have a lot of fun together.” Figure out ways to create these moods for your partner. You may want to take them to a new restaurant or to play mini-golf, for example. If your...

In American eating style, you always perform the main cutting and eating functions with your right hand, which means you must transfer your knife and fork during the meal.  To cut a bite, hold your knife in your right hand and your fork in your left hand. Hold your bite in place with the fork and cut the bite with your knife. Place your knife down on your plate, and transfer the fork to your right hand to take your bite. When you are ready for another bite, transfer the fork back to your other hand, pick up your knife, and repeat the process. The silent service code is a way for guests and servers to communicate without words, where guests use cutlery and napkin placement to indicate certain things throughout the meal. To indicate that you have left the table momentarily and will return to your meal, place your napkin on your chair. To say that you are finished and won’t be returning to your meal, place the napkin on the table to the left of your plate. This is true for both American and European dining. When you are taking a break from eating or wish to indicate you are finished with your course, place your knife and fork side by side at the 10 and 4 position on top of your plate (if your plate were a clock, the top of the knife and fork would point to 10, and the bottoms would point to the 4).  Place the tines facing down if you are taking a break. Position the tines face up if you are finished.  When you have finished your course, be sure to place the knife and fork on your plate, even if you didn’t used the knife designated for that course.

In English, a verb is typically an action. But in Latin, a verb can describe an action, the state of something, or any change in a person, place, or thing. Latin verbs are composed of a stem (the base word) and its appropriate ending (the part that makes a word functional), and are expressed using four qualifiers:  the person of the verb (first person: I/we, second person: thou/you, or third person: he/she/it) the tense or time of the verb (present, future, imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect) the voice of the verb (active or passive) the mood of the verb (indicative, subjunctive, or imperative) Nouns are a bit less complex than verbs, but can still be challenging nonetheless. The ending of a noun describes its number (singular or plural), its gender (masculine/feminine/neuter), and case (nominative/genitive/dative/accusative/ablative/vocative). In Latin, an adjective is inflected like a noun, usually either in accordance with the first and second declensions (for example, magnus, magna, and magnum are all forms of the adjective "great"), or occasionally in the third declension (for example, acer, acris, and acre are all forms of "sharp"). Adjectives in Latin are similar to English adjectives in that they fall into one of three categories (called "degrees") of comparison:  positive (such as long or short) is formed by adding "-a" or "-um" to the end of the word  comparative (such as longer or shorter) is formed by adding "-ior" for male/female words or "-ius" for neuter words. superlative (such as longest or shortest) is formed by adding "-issimus" to the end of the word Adverbs have comparative and superlative forms, just like adjectives. An adverb formed from regular inflections ends in "-ius" for the comparative form and "-e" for the superlative. Adverbs based on an adjective in the first and second declension end in "-e," while those based on an adjective in the third declension end in "-ter." Conjunctions in Latin connect words, phrases, clauses, and sentences, just like conjunctions in...

In Florida, most forms of open carry (that is, openly brandishing or displaying your firearm in public) are illegal unless the gun owner is participating in certain legal activities (like target shooting, performing military/police work, and so on). To be able to carry a gun on one's person for personal protection, it's necessary to have a concealed weapon license. Carrying a concealed gun without this license is a crime that can potentially result in a felony. Note that, in Florida, the concealed weapon license also certifies you to carry certain other weapons besides guns, including knives, billy clubs, tear gas guns, and other weapons. Florida's Concealed Weapon License has requirements that are slightly more restrictive than those to simply purchase a firearm. The main requirements are:  You must be 21 years old. You must be able to demonstrate competency with your firearm. Except in certain cases (such as if you are a member of the armed forces), you must be able to prove that you reside in the United States. You must not have certain crimes or demerits on your official record, including but not limited to: felony convictions, two DUIs in the last three years, a violent misdemeanor conviction in the last three years, evidence of substance abuse, dishonorable discharge from the armed forces, evidence of domestic violence. The biggest difference between the requirements for buying a Handgun and those for obtaining a concealed weapon license is that the applicant must provide proof of competency with their weapon. There are a number of officially-recognized ways to prove this, including:  Completing a state hunter education course Completing a National Rifle Association training course Completing a firearms safety course by any certified law enforcement agency or educational organization Completing a firearms safety course as part of job training (e.g., for police and security work) The application for the concealed weapon license can be viewed and downloaded from the official website of the Florida...

In Ireland, you drive on the left side of the road and pass on the right. This is the exact opposite to how it is in the US and most countries in the world. Make sure to keep this in mind if you will be driving a rental car. Start slowly and practice in the parking lot if you feel uncomfortable. Most cars are manual in Ireland. Make sure to rent an automatic car if you don’t know how to drive manual. The Cliffs of Moher is perhaps the most famous natural scenery in Ireland. It is definitely worth taking the time to visit. The Cliffs of Moher are located on the western coastline of Ireland, and they stretch for nearly five miles.

In Japan, where the game originated among traveling gamblers who sat on a tatami floor, the cup or bowl is made of bamboo. Traditionally, the dealer rolling the dice sits in a kneeling position with buttocks touching heels and tops of feet flat against the floor (the ‘’seiza’’ position) and is shirtless, to prevent any accusation of cheating by concealing extra dice in sleeves or pants. Players may bet against each other, or against the house.  Players who bet “Cho” are betting that the sum of the dice will be an even number (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12). Players who bet “Han” are betting that the sum of the dice will be an odd number (3, 5, 7, 9, or 11). When players bet against each other, typically, the same number of players will bet “Cho” as bet “Han.” Losers pay winners, with the house taking a percentage of the winnings if the dealer is employed by a gambling house. The game is commonly played today by members of the ‘’yakuza’’ (Japanese mafia)  and is featured in  yakuza and ‘’chambara’’ movies.

In Japanese culture and tradition, love is portrayed as a divine feeling bonded by god and torn only by death. In Western culture, the term "love" is used more freely and in ways unrelated to a relationships.  People may say that they "love" ice cream, their smart phone or a favorite sports team.  Before saying "I love you," reflect on your true feelings and be clear about what you want to express. While there's been a push in recent years for Japanese men to express their love more openly, words of love are not uttered regularly among the Japanese.  Instead, they express their feelings through emotion.  Speak with your eyes.  In one study, it was observed that Japanese people focus more on a person's eyes than on his mouth to determine emotion.  Research has shown that the expressive muscles around the eyes provide key clues about a person’s genuine emotions, so the Japanese are good at perceiving a person's true feelings.    Use tone of voice.  In one study it was noted that Japanese participants paid more attention to a person's voice than to his face making the Japanese adept at listening for emotional cues. If you have an opportunity to get to know and make yourself liked by family members and friends, it could go a long way to helping secure the success of a relationship.  Young Japanese men and women often go on group dates and value being part of a set.  You cannot necessarily gauge a Japanese woman's interest in you by the way she acts around her friends.  Japanese women are often conservative in social groups but may be more open and flirty in more intimate situations. A look at Japanese "happy ending" novels show that unlike their Western counterparts, it's not burning passion that clears the way for a couple to be together but rather friends, family and suitable circumstances. If your declaration of love is prelude to a journey that you hope will end with a Japanese woman as your wife, you may want to consider your finances.  In Japan, marriage has traditionally been built, in part, around...

In a base-heated oven, the crust will cook faster the lower it is. The top of the pizza cooks faster closer to the ceiling, mostly due to faster air currents. Use a lower rack next time if you've been getting brown, bubbly cheese over a pale, doughy crust. Move the pizza to a higher rack if the crust ended up crisper or more charred than you prefer.  All ovens are a bit different, so you might get different results, especially if your oven heats from the back or ceiling. Some people even place their pizza stone directly on the floor of the oven, instead of on a rack. This will make an extra-crisp crust, but some pizza stones will crack under that much heat. If your oven runs cold or you prefer a thick crust, it can be difficult to bake the crust completely without burning the toppings. Try  baking the pizza for a few minutes with only the sauce, then adding the other toppings and finishing the job. If your dough is still turning out underdone, use less sauce or switch to a drier cheese. If your oven is particularly cold or uneven, you may need to use less moisture in your dough. Thin, cracker-crust dough can bubble excessively. Poke the center of the dough several times with a fork to make holes for air to escape through. If delicate leafy greens, garlic, or thin slices of meat turn black and bitter, it's not necessarily your oven at fault. These toppings burn easily. Place them under the cheese or under other ingredients to prevent this. If the crust is perfect but the toppings need more time, make sure the toppings are spread in a thin, even layer.

In a bucket, mix together a household detergent, like dish soap, bleach, and water. Use a quarter cup (59 ml) of detergent, 2½ cups (591 ml) of bleach, and 5 cups (1.2 L) of water. Stir the solution with a utensil to evenly distribute the ingredients.  Only mold on the surface of your wooden furniture will be removed by bleach alone. Mold that has sunk roots into the wood will require a surfactant added, like detergent. Bleach can lighten or completely whiten the colors of some dyed cloth, like clothing or carpet. Take care when handling bleach, and consider wearing a smock or clothes you don't mind throwing away. Dip a stiff bristle brush or a scrub sponge into your bleach solution. Use moderate pressure and move your cleaning tool in circles as you clean. After thoroughly cleaning moldy areas, allow the furniture to air dry. Repeat this process a second time if necessary.  For best results, move the furniture outside, clean it as described with the bleach solution, and then allow it to air dry in the sunshine. Using a stiff bristle brush on wooden furniture could damage its finish. If this happens to your furniture, you'll have to refinish the wood. If the bleach solution does not completely remove the mold, its roots may be sunk too deeply in the wood to be removed by cleaning agents alone. Use a fine grit (120 to 220 rating) sandpaper to lightly sand the moldy areas. Sand while the wood is still damp to prevent spores from spreading. Clean sanded areas with the bleach solution after sanding and air dry the furniture. Even lightly sanding finished wood will cause damage to the finish and require refinishing once the mold is removed.

In a frontal lisp, the speaker puts his tongue forward against his teeth when he says the "S" or "Z" sound, causing a "TH" sound instead. If he has a gap between his front teeth, he may push his tongue through this gap. If you're not sure whether this describes you, look at yourself in a mirror while you make the "S" or "Z" sound. With a frontal lisp, "S" ends up sounding like the "TH" in "math" and "Z" ends up sounding like the "TH" in "father." Find a mirror in a well-lit area, so you can easily see your mouth while you speak. Smile into the mirror to display your teeth. Smiling will both make it easier to watch yourself, and help pull the tongue back slightly, where it needs to be for an "s" sound. Keep your teeth together, but remain smiling with your lips apart. You do not need to clench your teeth together hard. Move your tongue so the tip is just behind the teeth, high up against the roof of the mouth. Don't press your tongue against your teeth, and keep your tongue fairly relaxed, not pressing hard. If you don't hear a hissing "S" sound, your tongue may be too far forward still. Try pulling your tongue back and smiling forward. If you can't get it, don't get frustrated. Try the next exercise below, and keep practicing often. If saying "s" is still difficult in the above exercise, try this exercise as well. Separate your teeth slightly, and press the sides of your tongue against your upper back molars (the teeth in the back top of your mouth). Smile, and try to say "EET" and keep the back of your tongue in this shape while the tip of your tongue rises to make the final "T" sound. If the back of your tongue falls when this happens, keep practicing until you can say "EET" with your tongue in this position.  This is the sound "EET" as in "sleet" or "meet." If you are having difficulty keeping the back of your tongue raised, use a tongue depressor or popsicle stick to hold your tongue up while you say "EET." Once you can say "EET" with your tongue in the right position, say it again while holding the "T"...

In a group, there are going to be multiple targets and multiple people asking questions, so you need to choose a fair method for deciding who goes first, second, third, and so on.  Rolling a die is a great way to choose a sequence. Each person rolls, and the person with the lowest roll goes first, followed by the second lowest, and so forth. You can also do something like “Rock, Paper, Scissors” to determine who will go first, and do it again before each new game. You can also go in a circle when deciding the order of targets. Once the first person has gone, the person to their left is the next target, and that cycle continues until everyone has had a turn. Now that the target and sequence have been decided upon, each member of the group should take a turn asking the target questions. You can divvy up the questions based on the number of people in the group (a group of 3 askers could have 7 questions each, for instance), or you can go in a circle and have each person ask one question at a time. If there is a number of people unable to divide evenly into 21, sit in a circle and have someone start the questions. The next round, the person to their left can start the questions, and continue in this manner until everyone has had a chance to ask first. Once all 21 questions have been asked, either move on to the next target in the predetermined sequence, or take a minute to determine a new target using Rock, Paper, Scissors, or a coin flip.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon (2 g) of Borax, 1 tablespoon (14 g) of washing soda, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of white distilled vinegar, and ½ cup (120 ml) liquid castile soap. Stir well to ensure that all of the ingredients are well blended.  Borax is a natural mineral that’s ground down into a powder and used in cleaning products, such as dish soap and laundry detergent. You can find it with washing soda in the laundry aisle of most grocery markets. If you want your dish soap to have a scent, you can use a scented castile soap, such as lavender, peppermint, citrus, or tea tree. Pour 2 ½ cups (600 ml) of water into a medium saucepan, and heat on the stove on high until it is boiling, which should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove, and gradually pour the Borax mixture into the water, whisking after each addition to fully mix the soap.  If you want your soap to have a stronger scent, add 3 to 5 drops of your favorite essential oil, such as lavender or tea tree, and mix well. It’s okay if your soap is thin and liquidy. It will thicken up as it cools. Allow the soap mixture to cool down to room temperature, which should take 20 to 30 minutes. Next, pour it into a dispenser and place it beside the kitchen sink.

In a large bucket or other container, stir together 3 cups (750 ml) white distilled vinegar, 2 cups (500 ml) hair conditioner, and 6 cups (1500 ml) hot water until evenly combined.  You can use any hair conditioner you want for this method. To make it more cost effective, choose a cheap brand. Since there are many varieties and scents of conditioner available on the market, your scent options are nearly endless. Note that this is not an "all natural" solution, but it is quite effective. The vinegar strips aways stiffening residue and the conditioner softens fibers. For a normal load, fill a fabric softener ball with 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup (60 ml to 125 ml) of the fabric softener solution or add the same amount directly to the washer just before the rinse cycle begins.  Do not add the fabric softener to the machine before its primary wash cycle. Pour the rest of the fabric softener into a storage container. Shake or stir well to combine before each use. You do not need to do anything special from this point on. Let your rinse cycle finish up as it normally would.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the powdered sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla on high, until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. If it seems too soft, add more powdered sugar until it becomes thicker and stiffer. Use a serrated knife to slice a thin layer from the top of each layer of the cake. Slicing off the slightly rounded tops that puffed up during the baking process will help the layers stack together neatly. Place the purple layer on the cake stand or plate that you'll be using to serve the cake. Use an offset spatula or icing knife to scoop a small amount of frosting onto the center of the cake. Spread it evenly across the surface of the purple layer, all the way to the edges. Add the blue cake to the stack and frost it using the same method. Repeat with the green, yellow, and orange layers, finishing with the red layer on top.  There's no need to use a scientific color order - create a rainbow using any color order you'd like. Be sure to conserve enough frosting to finish by frosting the entire cake, rather than using most of it up between layers. Scoop frosting onto the top of the cake and spread it evenly to the edges. Use more frosting to cover the sides of the cake. Be sure to use plenty, so that the layers beneath are invisible. The brightly-colored interior of the cake will remain a surprise until the first slice is cut. Finish the cake with rainbow sprinkles or nonpareils, or use a contrasting frosting color to pipe a message across its surface.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup (118 ml) of milk with 1 tablespoon (21 g) of honey. Because the honey is so thick, it will be difficult to blend it completely into the milk but stir the two together well. You can use any type of honey, but organic is the best option. When you’ve mixed the milk and honey as well as you can, place the bowl in microwave. Heat the mixture on high for approximately 10 seconds to warm the honey so it’s easier to blend. Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir the mixture again to blend it fully. When the mask is mixed, you can either transfer it to a spray bottle and mist it over your hair or stand over the sink and pour it over your hair. Once your hair is saturated, work the mask through your hair with your fingers to ensure that it’s all coated. Let the mask sit on your hair for at least 20 minutes. The mask may drip while you’re wearing it. It’s best to cover it with a shower cap or plastic wrap. To remove the mask, wash it out with warm water. Follow up with your usual shampoo and conditioner, and allow your hair to air dry. Use the mask at least once a week for smooth, shiny hair.

In a professional photograph, you should be the main focus. Ask your photographer to shoot you in front of a plain backdrop. Or, if you'd prefer, you can shoot in your office or another professional setting. Just make sure the shot is framed so it's free of anything that will distract the viewer from the shot of you. For instance, if you're a doctor, if you choose to shoot a professional picture in your examination room, make sure to clear the counters of promotional materials and samples so the shot will be uncluttered. If you feel nervous or tense in front of the camera, that's going to show in your body and your face when you look at your photos. To help yourself feel more comfortable, take several long, deep breaths, which will help you release any tension that you might be holding in. For instance, try breathing in for 4 counts, holding your breath for 4 counts, and exhaling for 4 counts. Repeat that 2 or 3 times, or until you start to feel calm. When you're taking a professional headshot or another picture where you need to look business-like, try to sit or stand so your face is turned toward the brightest light in the room. That way, there won't be any shadows obscuring your face in the finished photo. If you're working with a professional photographer, they may provide their own light source, or they may use reflectors to bounce light back onto your face. If you want to look like you're having a great time, smile widely, then press your tongue against the back of your top teeth in the front of your mouth. This will help lift your cheeks, which will result in a more natural-looking smile. For an even more natural smile, think of someone or something you really love while you're posing. When you look into the camera, you'll project confidence and boldness. Keep your eyes soft, but don't be afraid to give a direct stare. However, if you'd prefer more of a candid look, try looking into the middle distance, instead. Grab a cup of coffee, your phone, or even a purse strap before you take the shot. That way,...

In a relationship, you have to take care of yourself as well as your partner. In fact, sometimes you need to take care of your own needs first so that you can be supportive of your partner.  That means, of course, that you must know what your needs are. Maybe you need alone time once in awhile, or maybe you need cuddly time at least once a week. Once you know what you need, express those needs to your partner. Have a conversation about what both of you need, both in and out of the relationship. Try to make a plan about how both of your needs can be met. For instance, you could say, "I really need cuddle time once a week." Your partner might counter with, "I'm happy to give you cuddle time. I love cuddling with you. But I also need to spend a bit of time apart as well." Just because your partner is saying you need to be a better girlfriend doesn't mean you are being a bad one. In other words, you need to look for signs of emotional abuse in your relationship. You can find yourself in a emotionally abusive relationship without even realizing it.  For instance, some signs of an emotionally abusive relationship can be that your partner is hypercritical of you, humiliates you, shuts you out completely, and/or gets very angry and moody much of the time.  Other signs can be overusing a sarcastic/mean tone, being dominating, making you feel guilty often, and blaming you for everything that goes wrong.  You may also notice that your partner embarrasses you on purpose, is very controlling, calls you all the time to see where you are (and not in a caring way), or is overly jealous.  If your partner does one or even a couple of these once in a while, it may not be abusive. However, if your partner does it all the time with the intention of making you feel bad, humiliating you, or controlling you, then that is definitely a sign of emotional abuse. Look for the phrase, "I love you, but..." That's often a sign of a controlling person. Be aware that many abusers will apologize for their behavior to draw you back in. It may...

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon (15 g) of finely grated lemon zest, 1 tablespoon (15 g) of dried thyme, 2 teaspoons (10 g) of salt, and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of pepper. Before cooking your meat, press the dry rub into the meat, such as steak or pork chops, to add flavor. Combine ⅓ cup (42.5 g) of salt, 1/4 cup (32 g) of dried rosemary, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of dried oregano, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of dried thyme, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of dried garlic flakes, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of cracked black pepper, and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of dried sage in a bowl. Sprinkle the rub over chicken or ribs and lightly press it into the meat before cooking. De-stem 2 dried chiles de árbol and pulse them in a spice or coffee grinder until they are finely ground. Put the ground chiles in a small bowl and add 4 teaspoons (20 g) of coarse sea salt. Spread 4 teaspoons (20 g) of finely grated lemon zest on a piece of parchment paper and microwave it for 1 minute. Then:  Add 4 teaspoons (20 g) of fresh thyme leaves to the parchment paper and microwave until the lemon and thyme are both dry, about 90 seconds. Let the lemon and thyme cool, then lightly crush them together. Add the lemon and thyme to the salt and chiles and mix it thoroughly. Use the mixture as a dry rub for roasts or chicken.

In a small bowl, combine equal amounts of baking soda and water. Stir the ingredients together until they form a paste that is easy to apply to the grout. Pick up the paste with your brush and spread it over the grout. You can apply it with the same brush you’ll use to scrub the grout later. Grout brushes and other stiff-bristled scrub brushes can be found at home improvement stores. If you don’t have a scrub brush, a sponge with a scouring side or an old toothbrush also work well. Make sure the water is warm before you add it to the spray bottle or a bowl. Combine the water with an equal amount of vinegar. Place the mixture in a spray bottle to make applying it easier. Spray vinegar directly upon the baking soda. A single spray will be enough to cause the baking soda to begin to fizz. You'll see the vinegar reacting with the baking soda, causing a fizz. During these five minutes, the fizz will loosen the grime on the grout. Use a grout brush to work the baking soda further into the grout. Alternatively, scrub with a stiff-bristled brush, scouring sponge, or toothbrush. Scrubbing takes some muscle power, but the effort removes most of the grime. Look out for dark areas indicating where grime remains on the grout. Try scrubbing these areas again or clean them with hydrogen peroxide. After scrubbing, you’ll be left with dirty vinegar and baking soda. Apply paper towels to pick up the mess or use old rags if you wish to save on paper. A sponge can also help you loosen any bits of grime and cleaner on the grout. Optionally, you can give your floor a shine. First, sweep or vacuum up any baking soda still left on the floor. Afterwards, mop the floor as you normally would. Grout you cannot reach by mop can be wiped clean by a rag dampened in clean water.
