When cradle cap keeps coming back a few days after you scrape it away, switching to a medicated shampoo a few times a week might be an effective treatment. Dandruff shampoos contain tar, which reduces flakiness and helps prevent skin from drying out.  Shampoos containing the antifungal medication ketoconazole or 1 percent selenium sulfide may also be used to treat cradle cap.  Dandruff shampoos that contain salicylic acid aren't recommended for babies, since this ingredient may be harmful to babies and it can be easily absorbed through their skin.  Talk to your doctor before using a medicated shampoo on your baby's scalp. He or she will recommend a shampoo brand or provide you with a prescription for the shampoo that is right for your baby's needs. If your baby's scalp is inflamed, red or itchy, hydrocortisone cream, which is also used to treat rashes and bug bites, might help relieve the symptoms. Check with your doctor before using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.

When dealing with a linear equation, the standard form of that equation should follow the form: Ax + By = C  Additionally, A must not be negative, neither A nor B should be "0," and A, B, and C should all be integers (not decimals or fractions). This form can also be referred to as the "general form" of a linear equation. The equation should have three terms. One term should include an "x" variable, one should include a "y" variable, and one should have no variable (this is called a "constant" term).  Example: Change the following to standard form: y/2 = 7x - 4 Since all of the terms must be integers, you cannot have any fractions in the equation. If there is a fraction somewhere in your equation, multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator of that fraction to get rid of it.  Example: 2 * (3y/2) = (7x - 4) * 2 3y = 14x - 8 You must isolate the constant, C, to the right side of the equal sign. If there are any other terms on the same side of the equal sign as the constant, add or subtract those terms from both sides of the equation to shift them to the left side.  Example: 3y = 14x - 8  The constant here is "-8." Since "14x" appears on the same side of the equal sign, you must subtract it from both sides of the equation. 3y - 14x = 14x - 8 - 14x 3y - 14x = -8 Rewrite the equation so that the variables are all in the proper order according to standard form (Ax + By = C).  Make sure that each term keeps its charge (positive or negative) as you move it.  Example: 3y - 14x = -8 -14x + 3y = -8 Recall that the A term cannot be negative. If it currently is, you must multiply both sides of the equation by "-1" to remove the negative.  Example: -1 * [-14x + 3y = -8] 14x - 3y = 8 You should now have the standard form of your linear equation.  Example: The standard form of the equation is: 14x - 3y = 8

When dealing with variable expressions, it's important to remember that terms with the same variable and exponent (or "like terms") can be added and subtracted like normal numbers. The terms must not only have the same variable, but also the same exponent. For example, 7x and 5x can be added to each other, but 7x and 5x2 can not.  This rule also extends to terms with multiple variables. For instance, 2xy2 can be added to -3xy2, but not -3x2y or -3y2. Let's look at the expression x2 + 3x + 6 - 8x. In this expression, we can add the 3x and -8x terms because they are like terms. Simplified, our expression is x2 - 5x + 6. Fractions that have only numbers (and no variables) in both the numerator and denominator can be simplified in several ways. First, and perhaps easiest, is to simply treat the fraction as a division problem and divide the numerator by the denominator. In addition, any multiplicative factors that appear both in the numerator and denominator can be "canceled" because they divide to give the number 1. In other words, if both the numerator and denominator share a factor, this factor can be removed from the fraction, leaving a simplified answer. For example, let's consider the fraction 36/60. If we have a calculator handy, we can divide to get an answer of .6. If we don't, however, we can still simplify by removing common factors. Another way to think of 36/60 is (6 × 6)/(6 × 10). This can be rewritten as 6/6 × 6/10. 6/6 = 1, so our expression is actually 1 × 6/10 = 6/10. However, we're not done yet - both 6 and 10 share the factor 2. Repeating the above procedure, we are left with 3/5. Variable expressions in the form of fractions offer unique opportunities for simplification. Like normal fractions, variable fractions allow you to remove factors that are shared by both the numerator and denominator. However, in variable fractions, these factors can be both numbers and actual variable expressions.  Let's consider the expression (3x2 + 3x)/(-3x2 + 15x).This fraction can be rewritten as (x +...

When describing a ring, it helps to know how professional jewelers refer to each part.  The band refers to the portion of the ring that actually wraps around your finger. The shank can refer to the band as a whole, but it more commonly refers to the portions of the ring that sit on either side of a gemstone. The gallery is the underside of the band and is the portion that actually sits on top of the finger. Ring bands can be made from a variety of base metals, but gold, platinum, silver, tungsten carbide, titanium, and palladium are the most common options.  Gold bands are classic and available in multiple colors. Yellow gold is the purest and most traditional. White gold is created when yellow gold is plated with rhodium, and rose gold is created when a copper alloy is mixed into the metal. Purity is indicated by karat size. Larger karats indicate greater purity. Platinum is almost always 95 percent pure. It is a white metal that is very durable, heavy, and naturally hypoallergenic. Silver is a white-gray metal that is very soft and weak against damage, so it tends to be an inexpensive choice. It is more commonly used in fashion rings than in engagement or wedding rings. Tungsten carbide is gray metal made from tungsten and carbon. It is very hard, heavy, and durable. Even though it retains is luster, it cannot be cut and re-soldered due to its durability, so bands made with it cannot be re-sized. Titanium has a naturally gray finish but is sometimes polished black. It is as strong as steel but as light as aluminum and is a popular choice for men's rings. The metal is also hypoallergenic. Palladium is silver-white in color. It does not tarnish and is both hypoallergenic and flexible. Rings may also use recycled materials. Recycled metal can come from a variety of sources and will take on the traits of its dominant metal. A ring may include special designs or other features that are not common enough to categorize. Even though there is no way to categorize these characteristics, you should still describe them...

When determining what to charge, it helps to know what you spent. In addition to material costs, be sure to account for the time you spent making your items, and the cost of setting up displays to sell them. This will help you come to a reasonable minimum price you can set to be sure you don't feel cheated when you sell. If you'd like to get a better idea of what to charge, investigate the competition. Try to get a sense for what the average selling price for similar items is. This will give you a range to work with, one that might very well increase your profit margin considerably. If you make anything that can be consumed, such as soap, bath salts, wine, or food, offer small samples to customers who pass by. If your wares can speak for themselves, customers are much more likely to come back and buy them later. No matter what you make, follow the rule of three to keep your customers happy: Each item costs a certain amount, but if you buy three items, you get a decent percentage off. Typically, the discount is between 20 and 30%, but you can decide for yourself based on the profit margin you've already set for yourself. You can also offer discounts for specific sets of items, such as “two jars of jam and a box of homemade cookies for $10 instead of $12.” People love to buy in gift sets. Have gift packaging ready for all your items, and larger specialty packaging for groups of two to four items. These days, with the Internet everywhere, it's easier than ever to learn how to make your own crafts. Stand out from the pack by establishing a presence in the market and making yourself known.  Make social media accounts for your business, and give it a memorable name. Post regular updates related to the items you sell. Speak with local business owners about carrying your products on commission, or helping stage a community event to generate business for all of you.

When encouraging your children to start making decisions for themselves, you can start very small. For example, you may want to let your children decide what they want to wear to school instead of choosing their outfits for them. The more accustomed they are to making small decisions for themselves, the better prepared they will be to make more important decisions. Consider asking for your children's input on family decisions as well. For example, if you are planning a family vacation, you may want to ask them where they would like to go instead of choosing the destination by yourself. Labeling your children can cause them to feel a lot of unnecessary pressure to live up to your expectations. Instead of telling them what they are or what they should be, give them the freedom to explore different paths. For example, avoid telling your children that they are "the smart one" or calling them things like "the future scientist." Try not to be hyper-focused on your children's future success, especially if they are very young. This will only cause undue anxiety. Instead of choosing the extracurricular activities that you think will give your children the best competitive edge, allow them to choose which activities they will participate in. Likewise, you should allow your children the freedom to choose their own classes in school, rather than telling them what classes they need to take. If your children don't seem interested in trying new activities, you can still encourage them to do so. Try looking for opportunities that will allow them to test out a new activity without making a big commitment. For example, instead of signing them up for six months worth of dance lessons, pay for the classes individually and allow them to decide if they want to continue dancing after they have tried it a few times. It's healthy for children to think for themselves and form their own opinions. They might not always agree with you, and that's okay. Let your children know that you respect their individual opinions and that you...

When experiencing stress, your brain produces hormones that tell the body to prepare to respond to a threat. Serious stress can compromise your mental health and may cause physical symptoms, too. One good way to manage stress is through exercise.  Exercise and physical activity can bring relief to tense muscles. Exercise also causes the body to release endorphins. Endorphins are neurotransmitters that make you feel good and inhibit your body’s stress response. They also help to improve your mood and help you feel calmer. Try different activities to find one you enjoy. Good activities are yoga, walking, dancing, and sports that help get your heart pumping.  When you are feeling stressed, it may be tempting to skip exercise because it is one more thing you have to do. However, the benefits will be clear in the long run. Proper diet and eating habits can also help reduce stress. Specifically, keep the following tips in mind:  Limit your caffeine and alcohol. Too much of either of these substances can promote anxiety. More than one or two alcoholic beverages per day can make it harder to cope with stress. Make mealtimes a calm, relaxed experience. Don't rush your eating. Don't overeat. Avoid using food as a way to cope with stress. Some foods contain nutrients that help your body manage stress. Specifically, avocados, bananas, tea, whole grains, fatty fish, carrots, nuts, yogurt, and chocolate are all thought to help manage stress. Sleep is a time for your body to repair and process the stress from the day. It is the time your brain has to unwind. It also allows your body to relax after using tense muscles throughout the day.  Sleep acts as the reset button for your stress level. It helps you to avoid serious stress responses such as anxiety.  It is important that your get enough sleep and that the sleep you get is of good quality. For example, you don't want noises waking you up frequently during the night. To help reduce stress, get 6-8 hours of restful sleep each night. Mindful meditation is meditation that...

When falling in love, your hormones go wild and may cause you to feel all sorts of things that seem abnormal. You might feel delirious with joy, anxious, stressed, or even a bit obsessed with your new love. Just keep in mind that the feelings you are having are normal and they will become more tolerable with time. Make sure that you do not allow your feelings to take over your life. Continue to make time for yourself and keep up with your normal routine. To deal with the flood of new emotions that come with falling in love, you might find it useful to find an outlet to express the way that you feel. Consider talking to a trusted friend about your response to the new love or write about your feelings in a journal. Journaling has the added benefit of reducing stress and helping you deal with problems, so it may help you work through your feelings. Writing about your feelings in a journal can be a great way to cope with them. Try to write about how you have been feeling for about 15-20 minutes per day. You may even find yourself feeling more creative as a result of your new love and want to try your hand at some poetry. Even if you are so overcome with love that you feel like spending all of your time thinking of your love interest, make sure that you continue to take care of your basic needs, such as diet, exercise, and sleep. To keep yourself looking and feeling your best, consider speaking with a nutritionist, joining a gym, or taking yoga classes.  Eat healthy. Look for ways to improve your eating habits, such as by reducing fat and sugar and eating more fruits and vegetables. Exercise for 30 minutes every day. You should try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity into your routine every day. Give yourself enough time to rest and relax each day.

When first getting to know your students, you need to gauge what they already know, so you don't waste time in your sessions. Ask the student what they're good at and what they most enjoy about the subject you're working on. Let him or her speak open-endedly about the subject and show off for you. It will make the student feel smart and validated while letting you figure out what material they've already mastered. Students are often quite aware of their weaknesses. They know what types of questions they consistently miss on quizzes, or what parts of class lectures make no sense to them. Let the student explain where they get lost, and make a list of those areas for your own reference. Create a mix of major and minor goals that can be achieved in a reasonable amount of time. For example, a student may not be able to bring up a math grade within a month, but three months would be a good goal for grade improvement. Minor goals should be set for the short term: the student will write a 150-word summary of a major source for an upcoming research paper by the end of the session. Write down the goals on a sheet of paper and have the student keep track of it. Putting them in charge of the "goal tracker" gives them more responsibility for their own improvement. Create a chart that allows you and your student to assess how well he or she is doing both in your sessions and in class. This chart can include entries for:  Quiz and test grades Overall class grades Achievement of the goals you set up together Your evaluation of the student's effort Your evaluation of the student's understanding of concepts Celebrate improvement in qualitative assessments like grades with a lot of praise! If the student's grades aren't improving, but you see a lot of effort, your chart will help keep him or her from getting discouraged.

When girls are at the mall, they’re engulfed in a world of fashion so they will be more likely to check out what you’re wearing. Make sure you come to the mall dressed in a stylish outfit that accents your best features. Wear something that is your style, but make sure not to wear anything that has lots of stains or looks dirty.  Wear a shirt color that matches or complements your eye color. This will help accentuate your eyes and make them pop. Classic pants like dark denim or khaki are a good option to appear stylish. Before approaching a girl at the mall you want to make sure you look your best. Head to the bathroom to check out how you look. Make sure you don’t have any food on your mouth or shirt. Use a brush or your fingers to brush your hair and smooth over any stray hairs that might be sticking out. One way to get a girl to remember you is to wear a hint of scent on your body. Use one spritz of cologne or perfume to give yourself a subtle scent that will stay on the girl’s mind. Make sure you don’t put on too much or she might be turned off. Stick to one to two sprays max.

When greeting strangers, as well as older relatives, friends, and acquaintances, buongiorno (BWON JOOR-noh) is the most common daytime greeting. It essentially translates to "good day." As with most Italian greetings, you can use buongiorno both as a "hello" when you initially meet someone and as a "goodbye" when you take your leave. After 4:00 p.m. or so, buongiorno is no longer considered appropriate. If you're out for dinner or greeting people at night, use buona sera (BWO-nah SEH-rah) to say "good evening" to people you meet. Italians typically take a nap (a riposo) in the afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. Anytime after the riposo has passed is generally considered evening. A greeting normally doesn't stop with a simple "hello." To ask "How are you?" say come sta (KOH-meh stah) if speaking to a stranger, especially if they are older than you or in a position of authority. If you're speaking to someone your age or younger, or to a friend or acquaintance, use come stai (KOH-meh STAH-yee), the more informal form. The standard response to come sta is bene grazie (BEH-neh GRAHT-see-eh), which essentially means, "I'm well, thank you." If the other person has beaten you to the punch and asked you how you are first, you might respond bene grazie, e tu? (if they are your age or younger) or bene grazie, e lei? (if you are speaking formally). Italians have a warm and friendly culture and make physical contact a lot more than you may be used to. When greeting someone, even casually on the street, it's common to shake hands with the person.  If you present as a woman, in many parts of Italy it is customary for you to extend your hand first when greeting someone who is presenting as a male. While shaking someone's hand, make direct eye contact and smile. Italians normally don't place their other hand over the top of your hand, but may grasp your elbow or upper arm. If you answer the phone in English, you'll typically say "hello." In Italian, the custom is to say pronto (PROHN-toh), which technically means "ready." ...

When hair is long, tangles can take away from whichever style you want. Regular combing and brushing of your hair can help ensure a neat look; however, more often than not, combing and brushing can easily be done incorrectly. To achieve better results, brush your hair when it is dry; doing the opposite can damage your hair and cause unwanted frizz. If you want to get rid of tangles with wet hair, us a wide-tooth comb, for it will separate hair without causing snags or damage. When it comes to looking good, a nice hairstyle is the go to approach, but keeping that look going from morning to night takes some time, care, and the right products. Pick a style that goes well with your hair type and the occasion, such as more volume, straight, wavy, bouncy curls, or pinned up. Use the correct products according to heat, such as blow drying or flat iron, or non heat, such as rollers and brushes. Hairspray will become one of your best friends. The best kind of hairspray will do more than create stiff hair; it can keep the volume in your hair or make curls keep both their hold and their bounce. Loose hairs and frizz can be the equivalent of a stain on a nice dress or suit. Even after drying your hair correctly and applying conditioner, heat and daily activity can cause frizz that would take away from your styling. In order to combat loose hairs and static, keep touch-up products in your purse. These on-the-go sprays such as frizz serum are very handy for minor adjusts. If you style your hair the night before or receive a treatment that you wish to maintain overnight, sleep on a silk or satin pillow case. The friction that occurs between your hair and pillow during sleep will undo your style throughout the night. Moreover, the smoothness of the silk or satin prevents split ends while the material adjusts in the cold and warm weather to keep your hair cool.

When having a conversation about something delicate, like your feelings for someone, it's important you have the time and space to talk. Find a time when you're both free and there are no external limits on time. Pick a private area, like a quiet bench in a local park. If you're letting the guy know you like him, be direct. There's no sense in beating around the bush and dropping hints. Get directly to the point by saying something like,  "I have feelings for you. Sometimes, I get the sense you also have feelings for me. Am I right about that?" If you're not interested, let the guy down easy. Tell him you appreciate his friendship, but you're not interested in him in a romantic sense. There's no need to be brutal, but you should make it clear a relationship is not happening.  Say something that clearly indicates you don't feel the same way. For example, "I'm not interested in you romantically." If you want to give a reason, that's okay, but be kind about it. For example, if you're not attracted to him, don't say, "I'm not attracted to you." Say something like, "I just see you as friend." If you misinterpreted a situation, this can be embarrassing. Whether the feelings were returned or not, it can be awkward if you thought someone had feelings for if they didn't. Make sure you have a plan to respond in this case.  Accept his response gracefully. In either scenario, you can say something like, "Oh, I guess I misread the signs. Thanks for being honest with me." It's okay to be sad if you were rejected by someone you thought liked you. Take some time to vent to friends and do something nice for yourself, like go see a movie or order take out.

When having any kind of serious discussion, it is best to do so in a semi-private place with few distractions. A neutral place is best. Don’t have one friend come to the other friend’s house. Look for a quiet spot outside or a have your friends meet you at a café. Make sure that your intentions for having them meet you are clear. Try saying something like, “I have heard both sides of the story. I think that if the two of you sat down and shared your feelings, then you could put this fight behind you. I will go along and mediate if you need me to.” If your friends are still emotionally charged from the argument, then it might not be possible to resolve the conflict. Encourage both of your friends to arrive in a good state of mind. For example, you could encourage your friends to listen to their favorite “happy song” before arriving at the meeting, or ask each of them to take five minutes to breathe deeply and collect their thoughts. Using “I” statements can help when two people are fighting because it reduces the chances that your friends will become defensive. “You” statements make people feel defensive.  For example, if one friend says “You make me feel bad about myself!” then the other friend might feel the need to defend herself from this statement. This can start a cycle of blaming and defending that will go nowhere. Instead, your friend could say something like, “I feel bad when you criticize what I am wearing.” This statement places the emphasis on how the speaker feels while still pointing out the other person’s behavior. Talk to your friends about why it is important to use “I” statements during their discussion and encourage them to do so. If you notice one of your friend using “You” statements, then gently correct him or her. Say something like, “How does that make you feel?” If your friends start fighting right in front of you, it is important to defuse the situation. Do not allow it to continue. For example, if your friends start raising their voices at each other, then call a time out or suggest...

When he first told you what he was attracted to in his crush, he probably mentioned a specific look that he liked. Try to mimic it. If he said that he liked a certain part of her body, try to accentuate yours through your outfit. Guys are undoubtedly attracted by looks, so make yourself appealing to him. Make your conversations flirty. Lean into him more when the two of you talk, keep laughing at his jokes, and create a physical connection. You can touch his shoulder when you’re laughing, take his hand to lead him somewhere, or run your hand through his hair and comment on how nice it is. He will love your compliments because he’ll trust you, as a friend, that they are genuine. Also, it will show him that you notice his physical appearance. When you compliment him, he may feel the need to give one back, which gets him looking at you.

When in a caloric deficit, your body will burn its reserves for energy, fat as well as muscle. You want to burn fat, but you do not want to burn muscle. To help maintain your muscle mass while in a caloric deficit, consider taking up weight training.  To maximize your weight training focus on compound movements, deadlifts, squats, bench press, military press and pull ups. As you get more advanced start incorporating  isolation exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions, glut bridges, etc. If you have not weight trained before, be prepared to be very sore the first week. Like all new exercise, introduce it slowly to let your body adapt and avoid injury. Cardiovascular exercise is good for overall health. Therefore if you don't do any, consider incorporating a half-hour of cardiovascular exercise into your routine a few days a week.  Do not get caught in the vicious cardio/diet cycle. The cardio/diet cycle is when you exercise to burn off calories, but this makes you hungrier, which makes you eat more, forcing you to exercise more, making you even hungrier, etc. Keep cardiovascular exercise to under 2-3 hours a week unless actively training for a fitness goal. Doing more cardiovascular exercise than this can actually inhibit fat loss by raising cortisol levels . To avoid this problem, control your calorie deficit in the kitchen, not on the treadmill. Some cardiovascular exercise you might consider including are:  A light 2 mile (3.2 km) job before breakfast a few days a week. 20 minutes on the stairmill after weightlifting. High intensity interval training a few days a week.

When in doubt, get a better vehicle.  Front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles are likely the most restricted. In general, FWD's tend to under-steer (washout) while in a corner when the driver is giving the vehicle gas to accelerate the car out of a turn. This is a bad thing, and greatly restricts the turning capabilities of the vehicle. Rear-wheel-drive (RWD) cars are more efficient than FWD for cornering and acceleration, but can become a hazard with an inexperienced driver. Donuts can be fun, but not during a critical situation. All-wheel-drive (AWD) cars have a good balance, but can also under-steer badly if it is not a vehicle with an active or manual center differential (most AWD vehicles have this feature, otherwise they are referred to as part-time 4wd).  Knowing the characteristic of your vehicle is key to performing in extreme situations without putting yourself and others around you in danger. Please read the How to Choose a Car for Tactical Driving article for more information. Whenever you are driving, you should always be aware of your surroundings. You should know what cars are around you at all times. If you are traveling fast, and cars in front of your are slamming on their brakes, you should first attempt to slow down, but you should also be scanning the area for an exit. There isn’t always an exit, but many times there is. Sometimes the "exit" is not a clean exit, and may be a what-will-cause-the-least-damage (CTLD) exit. This may consist of choosing to going off the road completely instead of just onto a shoulder. Choose the safest route before you choose the cheapest route.   Many people become observably more alert after they have recently been in an accident, don’t let that be you. You should be alert to avoid your first accident as well as others around you who may not be paying attention.

When it comes down to it, the skills required to be prudent are decision-making skills. There are many components to making good decisions — such as learning to calm your emotions, calculating risks and options, considering the welfare of others, and on and on. Taking the time to learn good decision-making skills will help you become a more prudent person. Though your emotions play an important part in the decision-making process, it's hard to make a sound, prudent decision if you are feeling overwhelmed by anger, sadness, etc.  Try taking a deep breath. Inhale through your nose, counting to five. Hold your breath for six seconds, then exhale through your mouth as you count to seven. Repeat this exercise ten times, or until you feel calm and relaxed.  If you are feeling stressed, you are more likely to make mental errors while trying to make a decision.  Maybe your friend is really angry with you. You might feel sad, confused, and defensive, and these emotions might make you say something you will regret or react in a negative way. Calming yourself will help you interact with your friend in a prudent manner. Ask yourself, "What is the problem?" Identifying the problem is essential to developing a good plan and making prudent decisions. To do this, you'll want to consider different points of view and look at problems from all angles. Find out as much information as you can about the problem and possible solutions. Make sure the information is sound and accurate and from a good source. Consider the pros and cons of different solutions. Understand the trade-offs with each choice.  If you have time, try listing the positive and negatives associated with each of your possible choices. You may not always have time to go on fact-finding missions before making a decision; sometimes you need to decide in the moment. Still, it's important to take the information you do have and try to make the best decision you can based on that. Based on the information you have gathered and the possible outcomes, make your decision....

When it comes to applying makeup, the goal is to accentuate your natural, gorgeous features. Whether you’re a complete makeup rookie or an aspiring cosmetologist, developing a makeup routine that you enjoy can boost your confidence and help you look gorgeous. Creating flawless-looking skin is the first step.  Even out your skin tone with a liquid foundation. With clean hands, dot the product all over your face and blend it in thoroughly with a thick, rounded makeup brush. Use a concealer to cover up blemishes or discoloration. Use your fingertips to gently tap the product into your skin. Set everything with a powder. Gently brush the powder over your foundation and concealer, focusing on areas of your face that tend to get oily. Most girls have a personal preference when it comes to this step, so feel free to develop your own routine. If you’re brand new to makeup, however, there are a few basic techniques to make your eyes really pop.  Apply eyeliner to your top lash line to make your eyes look big and bright, and your lashes appear more luscious and thick. Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler to make them look more open. Apply mascara to add volume and intensity to your lashes. This step is extremely important. While smooth, even skin is great, a blush or a bronzer will give you an attractive, cheery glow. It will add some dimension to your skin, and brighten your entire makeup look.  Choose a color that looks and feels natural to you. Depending on your skin tone, this might be a bubblegum pink, a peach, or a bronze color. Use a soft blush brush to apply this to the apples of your cheeks, gently sweeping it upwards towards your ears. Blend the blush into your skin softly.

When it comes to choosing a reputable online gold dealer, look for someone who is insured, has controls in place to detect fraud, and guarantees their product. An online gold dealer should exhibit the following characteristics:  They have fair prices. Know the price of gold on the market the day you are buying, and calculate the percent over spot price the dealer charges—keeping in mind that coins will have a higher markup than bullion. They offer flexible payment methods. Credit and debit cards should most certainly be accepted, as should checks and wire or bank transfers. For small purchases, a check or credit card are normally sufficient. Large purchases usually involve a bank transfer of funds. Do not use money-transfer services such as Western Union. If the transaction should go bad for any reason, you'll be left with no way to get your money back. Make sure their shipping policies are sound. If you're taking delivery on thousands of dollars worth of gold, you'll want to know that your shipment is insured and secure. Make sure you get tracking numbers whenever a shipment is made. Verify a dealer’s reputation. Research testaments and recommendations from customers or other autonomous sources. Oftentimes reliable dealers post such tributes on their websites. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau. Not every dealer is scrupulous and aboveboard in their dealings. Beware the dealer who:  Only has a common e-mail address (i.e., Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail) for their contact information. Does not appear to have a secure system for accepting credit card payments. Signs of an insecure system are no “lock” in the browser when navigating to the payment page and the “http” in the URL does not switch to “HTTPS”. Neglects to list delivery specifications. Before you purchase, contact the vendor’s customer service department either by phone or e-mail. Ask about the specific items you’re interested in buying, warranties, available payment methods and return policies. The manner in which they respond to your...

When it comes to choosing drinks, it's best to stick to water and black coffee. Such options have no calories. Also, drinking water before a meal and between bites is a great way to fill you up. This can result in you eating less during the main course. If you want to join your friends in a round of drinks, make wise choices when it comes to alcohol. Stick to lighter drinks that are lower in sugar and calories.  This is the one case where plain shots might be recommended. Once you add mixers, sugar content skyrockets and you're left with an additional slab of calories added onto your meal. Go for light beer over regular beer. A light beer usually has around 100 calories, while a regular beer has about 150.  Margaritas may be a bad idea if you're trying to eat healthy. They're high in calories, as well as sugar and alcohol. However, if you don't want to miss out on the fun when your friends order margaritas ask for yours on the rocks. Blended margaritas have more calories. Also, think about splitting a margarita with a friend to reduce the calorie content. If you want to save calories but still want a treat, diet soda may be a good route when eating out. Diet soda and unsweetened tea are zero calorie options that can feel refreshing during a meal.  Diet soda gets a bad reputation due to the chemicals in it. However, drinking a moderate amount of diet soda on special occasions is unlikely to harm you and it has no calories or sugars like regular sodas. If you want a treat while eating out, having one diet soda with dinner might be a better option than getting an alcoholic beverage or a regular soda.  If you're not big on diet soda, try an unsweetened iced tea. Teas come in a variety of flavors and unsweetened tea is a great way to get a treat in beverage form without consuming anything too unhealthy.

When it comes to going from black to blonde hair, it’s best to not skimp on the product you buy—visit a salon or cosmetics store rather than a grocery store to buy your supplies. Check out the following breakdown for information on which volume of developer you should buy:  A 20-volume developer will lift your hair 1-2 shades; this would be a good option if you’re working with hair that has been previously colored and is damaged or dry. A 30-volume developer will lift your hair 2-3 shades; this is a great option if your hair is in its natural state. A 40-volume developer will lift your hair about 4 shades, but it can be very damaging; if your scalp is sensitive, avoid using this high of a developer as it could cause major irritation. Because your hair is so dark, using bleach is the best option for lightening your hair. Other methods, like using peroxide or sun-in spray, will give your hair a coppery tone and will probably never give you the shade you actually want. Start with a bottom section and undo it from its elastic or clip. Take a 1 inch (2.5 cm) piece of hair and use the applicator brush to spread the bleach from the tips to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your scalp, leaving the roots untouched. Repeat this until the entire section is covered, then undo the next quadrant and do the same thing until your entire head (sans roots) is done. The heat from your scalp can make the bleach act faster, which sometimes results in what is called “hot roots,” meaning that your roots are significantly lighter than the rest of your hair. After you’ve bleached the lengths of your hair, it’s time to go back and tackle the roots. Start at the back of your head and work your way forward in sections, applying the bleach just to the 1 inch (2.5 cm) you left untouched previously. Feel free to secure each quadrant of hair in an elastic or clip as you finish to help yourself stay organized. If at any point the bleach starts burning your scalp, rinse it out immediately. Your strand test should have given you a good idea of how...

When it comes to online anonymity, things can get technical real quick. Before you start diving in, it will help to have a basic understand of some of the more common terms.   Traffic - In networking terms, traffic is the transfer of data from one computer to another.  Server - This is a computer located remotely that hosts files and sets up connections. All websites are stored on servers that you access using your web browser.  Encryption - This is the act of protecting data sent over a network by using a randomly generated code. When data is encrypted, it is scrambled according to the unique code that only you and the server have. This ensures that if the data is intercepted, it cannot be decoded.  Proxy - A proxy server is a server that is configured to collect and then resend network traffic. In essence, a proxy server allows you to connect to it, and then it will send out your requests for websites. It then receives the data from the websites and then sends it to you. This has the benefit of hiding your IP address from the website you are accessing.  VPN - A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. This is an encrypted connection between you and a server. It is traditionally used in corporate environments so that remote workers could remotely and securely access company resources. A VPN can be thought of as a "tunnel" through the internet that connects you directly with a server. There are thousands of web-based proxies available, and they change every day. These are websites that route traffic through the proxy server. They only affect traffic going through that website; open another tab in your browser and anything you send will be anonymously sent.  When using a web-based proxy, avoid any sites that use secure login (Facebook, banking, etc.) as proxy sites should never be trusted and could steal or leak log in and banking details. Most web-based proxies cannot display certain content such as videos. A proxy server is a server that relays your internet traffic. This has the benefit of masking your personal IP...

When it's time, choose either a face-to-face confession or an anonymous confession. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, simply kneel down in front of the curtain separating you from the priest and the priest will begin the confession.  If you'd like a face-to-face confession, you need only to walk around the curtain and sit in the chair opposite the priest. He'll be expecting you. Remember that confessions are absolutely confidential -- the priest will never (and can never) share your sins with anyone else.  He is instructed to keep the seal of the confessional regardless of circumstance -- even under pain of death. Do not let your worries affect your confession. The priest will begin the Confession with the prayer of the Sign of the Cross. Follow his lead. There are a few variants, but the Latin Rite is the most common.   In the Latin Rite: Make the sign of the cross, saying, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned" and tell him how long it has been since your last confession.(It is not necessary to remember how many times, only the frequency of important sins.)  In the Byzantine Rite: Kneel facing the Icon of Christ, the priest will be seated at your side and may place his epitrachelion on your head.  He may also wait to do this until the Prayer of Absolution.  Do not be concerned either way.  In other Eastern Churches: Forms may vary. Regardless of the variant, tell him your sins (including how many times you committed them). Go in order from the most serious to the least. Do not leave out any mortal sins that you can remember. You don't have to go into explicit detail of your sins unless the priest feels it is necessary -- and in that situation, he'll ask.

When kidneys start to fail, symptoms related to fluid balance, electrolyte balance, clearing waste products, and production of red blood cells. The early symptoms may also mimic other illnesses, which can be confusing. If you experience these symptoms and they don’t resolve within a few days or there does not seem to be another cause, see a doctor. Symptoms to watch for include:  Appetite loss General feelings of fatigue Headaches Itchy, dry skin Nausea Weight loss (when you are not trying to lose weight) Later symptoms occur when kidney function has gotten much worse and the kidneys can no longer filter waste products from the blood. Symptoms of later kidney failure include:  Skin color changes Drowsiness or problems with concentration and thinking Muscle twitching and cramps Bone pain Numbness or swelling of the hands and feet Blood in the stool Frequent hiccups Excessive thirst Amenorrhea (in women, menstrual periods stop) Sleep difficulties Shortness of breath Vomiting (more often in the mornings) End stage kidney failure is the result of damage done to the kidneys. The final stage is called End Stage Renal Disease or ESRD, in which the kidneys are no longer able to filter enough waste products from the blood. At this point your body will either need kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant to keep working. Two of the most common reasons that ESRD develops is diabetes and high blood pressure or hypertension. Other conditions that may increase the potential for ESRD are:  Birth defects of the kidneys, such as polycystic kidney disease Injury to the kidney Kidney stones and infections Problems with the arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the kidneys Certain medications used to treat cancer or pain can damage the kidneys and cause failure Some toxic chemicals Autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma or systemic lupus erythematosus Reflux, or when urine flows back from the bladder to the kidneys and damages the organ Other kidney diseases Peritoneal dialysis does not require large machines, so you can...

When letting someone down easy, it's important to avoid anything your ex might find patronizing or insulting. Cliches, such as "It's not you, it's me," can feel dishonest. Instead, express yourself directly and abandon cliche language. Speaking to your own personal experience is best when letting someone down easy. You may feel some anger and resentment if you're choosing to end a relationship. It can tempting to attribute blame to your ex, especially if he or she hurt you. However, if you want to let your ex down easy playing the blame game is not a good idea.  Avoiding negativity of any kind is one of the best ways to spare someone's feelings. Going over past mistakes or resentments can spur an argument, resulting in an unclean and unpleasant breakup.  If you suspect your partner may not take the breakup well, keep in mind he or she may try to blame you. Avoid being sucked into a negative conversation. If your partner tries to put you down for your actions, counter with something like, "I'm sorry you feel that way but it doesn't change my decision." Social media can be particularly toxic in the wake of a breakup. If you want to let your ex down easy, avoid positing about the breakup online. Even accounts you think he or she might not access to could potentially discovered. While many find social media cathartic when coping with a breakup, keep in mind your ex's feelings may be hurt by what you choose to post. It may also be a good idea to stop following your ex on any social media platforms. During a breakup, you'll need time to cultivate some space between you and your partner to help you move on. Severing the social media tie a bit can help. In general, it's best to not get others involved. Instead, try to keep things between you and your ex. Mutual friends with good intentions can interfere and make the situation more complicated than it needs to be.

When making a decision, start by considering all of your options. Consider the pros and cons, the facts, the consequences, and all of your options. You might even want to write all of these things down or enter them into a Word document or spreadsheet. Once you’ve thought about your decision logically, switch your focus to your heart. Clear your mind and breath deeply, then think of someone or something you love. Say a word that opens your heart (e.g. “love” or “gratitude”).  Once your heart is open and your mind is clear, reconsider the same situation you just considered using your brain. Again consider the pros and cons, the facts, the consequences, and your options. Are any of these different when you view them from an emotional angle? Once you’ve considered the situation with your brain and your heart, it’s time to see what your gut thinks. Sit up straight, breath deeply, and relax. Think about a time when you were particularly gutsy, and say the word “courage” to yourself as you exhale.  With your gut engaged, think about your decision once more, considering the pros and cons, facts and consequences, and all of your options. Ask yourself what will happen if you fail? What are the risks involved? How do your thoughts differ this time from when you considered your decision using your brain and your heart? Distract yourself with something fun, then return to your decision with a fresh mind and see where your intuition weighs in compared to the data you’ve collected. For distractions you might go for a walk, take a shower, cook a meal, play a musical instrument, or whatever else it is that you enjoy doing. Now that you’ve listened to your brain, heart, and gut, try to find a decision that balances all of your answers. Maybe you’ll find that your brain, heart, and gut are all in line with one another. In this case, your decision will be pretty easy! If you’re really struggling with making a decision after considering it from all angles, try flipping a coin. You don’t have to follow the result of the coin...

When making a forum post for your question, try to make the title of the post as specific and clear as possible. You can use the post body to add details, but readers should be able to understand your question just from looking at the title. For example, "Windows won't start" is not a good title. Instead, get a little more specific with your problem: "Windows 7 will not start, computer turns on fine but I receive the following error message: <insert error snippet>". After writing the title, explain the details in the body. List specific problems and what you have tried so far. Note any resources you have already looked at. The more specific you are, the more useful the replies to your question will be. If you are asking technical questions, be sure to give proper information about what you are using. For example, for computer-related questions, list your operating system, system specs, and any error messages you are getting. For car questions, make sure to note the make and model, as well as what part of the car you are working on. You will get far more responses if your post is written with good grammar and clear writing. Avoid overusing exclamation points, and try not to swear (even if you're really frustrated!). If the language of the board is not your first language, let the readers know and apologize for any spelling and grammar errors. Avoid internet shorthand and slang. For example, don't replace "you" with "u", and don't type IN ALL CAPS, as this is perceived as shouting. Even if you are experiencing multiple problems, limit each post to one question. This will help the responders focus on the issue and provide clear advice. If a reader sees your question, but then opens your post and sees five more questions, he or she will likely not respond at all. There's a chance that you won't like the answer you receive. There's also a chance that the answer that you don't like is the only available option. Make sure to keep an open mind about your responses, and try to avoid getting defensive. If one of the...

When making a knife spear, you want to find a handle that will be easy to cut into but sturdy enough to use as a weapon or tool. Avoid using green wood. Recently deceased trees are ideal. Search for a limb that is roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Trim any branches or knobs off the chosen limb and make a clean handle. You may choose to remove some of the bark in order to make the handle easier to grip. Choose which end of the branch you will be attaching the knife to. Using a sharp knife, cut long, thin, vertical strips off the branch until you are left with a shelf for the knife.  Creating a shelf lends support to your spear and will aid in securing the knife to the handle.  Brace the branch against another tree or stump to make this process safer and easier. Use a length of rope or other available cordage to secure the knife to the branch. Tie one end of the rope to a tree trunk and wrap the other end around the knife and branch. Walk away until the line is taught. Then, using your body weight to keep the line taught, begin wrapping the rope around your knife. Wrap the rope all the way up to the hilt of the knife. For extra security make another pass back down the handle. Finish the wrap with a simple knot.

When people are attracted to someone, they often display this attraction through their body language. There are a number of different body language cues for attraction, and when you notice your best friend displaying them consistently it can signal that they're attracted to you. Look for signs like:  They maintain eye contact and gaze at you. They smile subconsciously while they're talking about you. They try to be physically close to you by initiating physical contact. When you talk, their feet are pointed towards you. They mirror your body language when you two are speaking. They touch their hair and face while you're talking. When someone is interested in you, they will try to initiate physical contact more frequently. The two of you might go from not hugging frequently to hugging every time you see each other. The type of physical contact that you have may start to be different as well. Rather than punching you on the arm affectionately, they may initiate a hug. Or, they may start to touch your knee or your arm. Physical contact between friends is normal and healthy, but you may start to notice that they are initiating contact much more frequently than they normally do. They may try to be physically affectionate by hugging you, putting their arm around your shoulder, or touching your hand.  They may try to “accidentally” brush against you when the two of you are close. This could mean that they are nervous to initiate other kinds of physical contact, like a hug, but they want to be near to you. If you feel uncomfortable with the amount of physical contact, you should let them know in a gentle and kind way.

When people ask you to go places and do things, go! People will find your up-for-anything attitude encouraging. If nobody has any ideas, then make your own suggestions about fun things to go and do. Try to suggest active, fun things, such as mini-golf or having a spontaneous picnic in the park. Making suggestions like staying in and watching a movie or playing video games doesn't demonstrate your energy. People who are seen as “energetic” are often smiling and happy. This doesn’t mean that they never have a bad day, but rather that they try to keep a positive attitude, and see the humor in a bad situation. When something gets you down, just remind yourself that things will all work out one way or another, so it's best to stay as positive as possible. When you talk to people, let this positive attitude spread. Try to remind people of the positive aspects of life. It’s not a bad idea to humor people when they are complaining about something bad that happened to them, but you can also try to help them see positive aspects of the situation. It is easy to get into a routine where we do the same thing day-in and day-out. While this is easy and comfortable, it can also cause us to feel bored and stagnant. To be more energetic, try doing things that get you out of that comfort zone, and challenge you to something new. This will leave you feeling invigorated and excited about life.  If you want to practice your ability to be funny, you could do something really challenging, like signing up for an open mic night at a local comedy club. Try a new physical activity. Maybe you’ve always wanted to try Jiu Jitsu or CrossFit, whatever it may be, don’t put it off anymore! You may find that you really enjoy it, and have a new hobby that helps you stay active. In the worst case, you will have tried it out and realized it’s not for you. Go to a social event to meet new people. Find a local event that interests you, and go by yourself. This is a great way to challenge and improve your social skills, and you will likely make a few...

When performing the push up, your lower back must be straight, i.e., not sagging or arching, and your feet must be shoulder width apart. Your elbows should be tucked close to your body, i.e., at a 20 to 40 degree angle from your abdomen. As you go down, make sure your chest gets as close to the floor as possible.  Make sure to tighten your abdomen, legs, and buttocks. This will prevent your back from arching and sagging. Try not to let your hips touch the floor. They should be on the same level as your shoulders. When you are performing the push up, make sure to inhale as you go down. Then exhale as you go back up. If it is hard for you to remember to breathe, then count out loud as you do your push ups. The act of talking will force you to breathe as you do your push ups. Start out by doing as many push ups as you comfortably can. This is called a set. Then do two more sets. Make sure to rest for 60 seconds or more in between sets. Practice this three to four times a week, or every other day until you are comfortable.  For example, if you can only do seven full push ups, then start out by doing three sets of seven push ups every other day until you are comfortable. Once you can comfortably do your normal number of push ups, add three to five more push ups. Adding more push ups will challenge your muscles, enabling you to build more muscle. Make sure to stick to your routine. If you find it hard to stick to a routine, then ask a friend to join you. Alternatively, you can hire a personal trainer to keep you on track as you strive for your goal.   For example, if you have been doing push ups three days a week, then do not throw off your routine by reducing it to twice a week. Depending on the intensity of your routine, you may see results in one to two months.

When planning the date, it is helpful to come up with a few things to talk about before you go. This way, you can fill in an awkward silence with meaningful conversation. Think of a few funny stories or unique tales you can tell. Brainstorm a few open-ended questions to ask about your date's life or future plans.  For example, look into current events and bring up an inspiring story. Ask your date about their favorite hobbies, top music artists, or most-watched movie. Find ways to tell your date about the time you hiked the Appalachian trail, played sports in college, or saved a stray cat, for instance. Focus on your date instead of your phone. Before your date arrives, set your phone on silent so it doesn't vibrate or ring. If your phone constantly buzzes or beeps while at dinner, your date may think you are rude. Wait to check your phone until after the date.  Avoid texting or taking calls unless it is an emergency. If your date excuses themselves to go to the bathroom, you can quickly check your messages if you need to. When you go out with your date, this is a time to connect and get to know each other better. If you are complaining about traffic and your roommate the whole time, your date may have a negative impression of you. Try to put a positive spin on your dialogue so you can be your authentic self to your date. Instead of saying something like "Sorry I'm running late, traffic was terrible and my roommate parked me in," you can say something like, "Thanks for waiting for me! I didn't expect traffic to be so bad at 8:00." Going on a date can be intimidating and nerve-wracking, but keep in mind this is totally natural! If you are worried about whether or not they will like you, take some deep breaths to relax. Remind yourself of how awesome you are to boost your confidence instead of letting worry and doubt sink in. Before you leave, you can give yourself a pep-talk. Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “You are smart, fun, and nice,” for instance. Never feel like you are forced to stay in a...

Заранее придумайте несколько тем для разговора, чтобы заполнить потенциальные паузы. Перед свиданием переведите телефон на беззвучный режим, чтобы не отвлекаться. Обсуждайте позитивные темы, вместо того чтобы жаловаться или излучать негатив. Если вы нервничаете или начинаете волноваться, постарайтесь расслабиться имыслить позитивно. Помните, что при необходимости можно уйти с плохого свидания. Если вы хотите увидеть человека снова, отправьте ему сообщение на следующий день.


When possible, turn your phone off. Phones can take up a lot of time throughout the day that you could be using more productively. When it's easy to log on to Facebook or take a peek at your email, you're more likely to do it. Do yourself a favor and turn your phone off while you're trying to do other things. If you find yourself impulsively reaching for the phone to procrastinate, you'll be met with a blank screen instead. If it's necessary for you to have your phone on for work, place it across the room. If it's not as easy to access your phone, you're less likely to do it. You can also turn off any notifications on your phone that are not necessary to work. These days, many people rely on their computers or the internet to get work done. Working with Facebook, Twitter, or other distracting sites in the background will adversely affect your time management skills. You also may become distracted if tabs are opened from old projects or irrelevant internet searches. Make a habit of closing tabs as soon as you're done on the site. Place all your focus on the sites that are necessary for your work. Challenge yourself to only have one or two tabs opened at a time. Sometimes, the temptation to log onto Facebook or Twitter is too great to avoid. If you have a problem with social media, there are many applications and websites you can use to temporarily block distracting sites.  SelfControl is an app for Mac users that blocks access to any sites you choose for a set period of time. It is free to download. If you need to get offline altogether, the app Freedom allows you to block your access to the internet for up to eight hours at a time. The Firefox add-on Leechblock allows you to limit your use of certain sites to a set period per day. Interruptions disrupt your workflow. If you're in the middle of a task and stop to do something else, it can be hard to get back into work mode. When you're working on a task, try to complete it before getting up to do something else. Other things can wait while you strive to...

When preparing any single-serving smoothie or shake, add 1 or 2 tbsp (15–30 ml) chia seeds to the blender or food processor with the other ingredients before blending. Stir 2 tsp (10 ml) chia seeds into 10 oz (310 ml) of water, the juice of 1 lemon or lime, and a small amount of raw honey or agave syrup, to taste. Add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) chia seeds to an 8-oz (250-ml) glass of juice, tea, or any other warm or hot drink. Allow the drink to sit for several minutes so that the seeds can absorb some of the liquid, creating a thicker beverage.

When preparing for surgery, you should discuss any changes you plan to make with your physician or surgeon beforehand. This includes changes to your diet, over-the-counter medications, and prescription medications.  Bring all of your current routine medications to the surgery orientation. Your doctor should be able to tell you if any of these medications must be stopped or decreased before surgery. Note that blood can be either too thick or too thin, and neither option is particularly safe, especially when you have surgery. Thin blood won't coagulate properly, which may cause you to bleed excessively during the operation. Thick blood can lead to blood clots that may block arteries or cause related complications. Some over-the-counter or herbal drugs can act as anti-coagulates. In other words, they cause your blood to become thinner. You should stop taking these drugs at least one week before your surgery to prevent your blood from thinning out.  Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen and naproxen) are the biggest over-the-counter culprits. Herbal drugs that have a similar effect include vitamin E supplements, garlic supplements, ginger supplements, and ginkgo biloba. If you're currently taking prescription anti-coagulants (blood thinners), your doctor may recommend stopping those medications several days before your surgery. This can be the case regardless of whether or not those medications were originally prescribed for the sake of thinning your blood.  The exact timing will vary depending on your specific circumstances, so you must consult with your doctor before stopping your prescriptions. Prescription blood thinners include warfarin, enoxaparin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, dipyridamole, and alendronate. Prescription dosages of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are also included.

When preparing meals at home for your family, choose nutritious foods to serve.  Lean protein is an essential food group for both you and your children and should be included at every meal.  Lean protein is lower in calories and unhealthy sources of fat.  Although children don't need to be overly concerned about calories, you do not want to feed them fatty cuts of meat that are overly high in saturated fat.  Include a 1 – 2 oz serving (about half the size of a deck of cards) of lean protein at your child's meals.  Including protein at each meal will ensure that they meet their daily recommended intake of protein.  Try a variety of lean proteins throughout the week.  Remember, they may not like some foods immediately, so continue to expose your child as often as you can.  Try:  poultry, eggs, seafood, lean beef, pork, legumes and low-fat dairy products. Dryer or tougher cuts of meat like a grilled chicken breast or a steak may be too difficult for your child to chew and swallow.  They may show a dislike due to a texture difficulty.  Serve moister protein choices or serve them with a sauce.  For example, instead of grilled chicken breast, try roasted chicken thighs. Fruits and vegetables may be tricky food groups to get your child to eat (especially vegetables; however, aim to serve these foods at each meal and snack.  Children do not need overly large quantities of fruits or vegetables each day.  But give them a small serving around 1/2 cup each time they eat a meal or snack.  This will help them meet their daily minimum intake.  Fruits and vegetables are important food groups for kids and adults alike.  These foods are "nutritional powerhouses" and contain high amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Although vegetables can be the most tricky group for kids to like and be willing to eat, be patient and continue to expose them to new vegetables and new ways of preparing them. When you're preparing meals, also include whole grains.  These are a much more nutritious choice than more refined...

When pruning a burning bush for shape, you will likely need to schedule two pruning sessions each year. The first one should be before new growth has developed, which means pruning the bush in late winter or early spring.  Burning bushes tend to get large and unruly as they mature, but you can usually keep them in check by pruning them down into a desired shape. This type of pruning will keep the bush looking nice for the season while preventing it from completely taking over the space it occupies. When pruning a burning bush for shape, you must also do some pruning for health maintenance. You can choose to trim the burning bush down while maintaining its natural shape or you could trim it down into an ornamental hedge shape.  Consider pruning the bush into a standard cube, box, or globe hedge shape. Another option would be to trim out the lower branches, leaving only a rounded top behind. Doing so would make the burning bush look like a small tree. If you have difficulty visualizing your ideal shape, find a photograph or sketch to work from. You could also make your own sketch to help guide you through the process. Once you have visualized the shape your burning bush should be, use hedge clippers to remove any branches that extend beyond that shape.  When shortening a branch or twig, cut it back to point that is 1/4 inch (6 mm) above a bud or side branch. Unless you choose to completely remove the bottom half of the bush, you should make the top of the bush slightly thinner than the bottom. Doing so will permit sunlight to reach all the leaves of the shrub. A wide top can prevent sunlight from reaching the bottom in adequate amounts, though, causing the plant to become unhealthy. When you prune burning bushes into hedge shapes, you should also thin out some of the dense interior branches to improve the spread of air and sunlight through the plant.  Remove the oldest, tallest branches completely by cutting them back to their point of origin on the main stem. If you want to redirect inward growing branches so...

When securely wiping your hard drive, there is absolutely no way that you can recover it. A properly wiped hard drive would take a government supercomputer days to potential recover a fragment of a file. Because of this, ensure that you have everything saved that you need. See this guide for details on backing up your data. DBAN is a hard drive formatting program that is designed to securely wipe the data from the drive by overwriting it multiple times. This will prevent the data from being restored using a data recovery program. DBAN does not work for solid state drives (SSD). You will need to use a different program, such as Blancco. DBAN is downloaded as an ISO file, which is a disc image. Burning the ISO to a disc will allow you to boot directly into the DBAN interface. See this guide for details on burning ISOs to DVD. Insert the DBAN disc into your computer and reboot. Select the disc drive as your primary boot device.  Windows - You will need to set your optical drive as the boot drive from the BIOS menu. See this guide for details on setting your boot order. OS X - Press and hold C while your computer is rebooting. After a little while DBAN will boot. Press ↵ Enter on the DBAN main screen, and then select your drive with the arrow keys. Be sure to pick the correct drive if you have multiple available. "DoD" will securely erase your data, and is a good enough wiping method for the majority of users. If you have extremely sensitive information, select the "8-Pass PRNG Stream". This will wipe your hard drive eight times with random numbers, completely eradicating your data. Once you've selected your wiping method, the formatting process will begin. Wiping with DBAN can take several hours to several days, depending on the wiping method and size of the hard drive.

When she does, give out a high-pitched yelp, imitating the yelp of a dog. The sound should be loud and sharp, like a dog’s yelp would be. Stand up to stop playing with the puppy to further reinforce that her behavior was not acceptable. If you are clicker training the puppy, click as soon as he withdraws her mouth from your hand or lets up the pressure. Jerking your hands back in pain, while certainly a natural response, may actually encourage your puppy to play harder and continue biting. When your hands move, you are encouraging the puppy’s prey drive, which will make her want to continue biting you.  A limp hand, on the other hand, is very little fun to play with. If she starts to bite again, let out your yelp or stern rebuke and withdraw from playing again. Repeat these steps no more than 3 times in any 15-minute period. Overwhelming the puppy by trying to train too long won't send a clear message. Your puppy won't learn to stop biting and her behavior will just continue. Between biting incidents, if your puppy licks you or tries to comfort you, praise her and/or give her a treat. She should be rewarded and encouraged to offer positive feedback that does not involve biting. When your puppy bites you, yelp loudly and remove your hand to signal that playing has stopped. Then ignore the puppy for 20 seconds. Physical isolation from the pack sends a strong message to the puppy that she has acted incorrectly. If the puppy bites you again, get up and leave for 20 seconds. After the 20 seconds are up, go back and start playing your puppy again. You want to communicate that gentle play is encouraged and rough play is discouraged. Play with your puppy until the same sequence happens again and repeat the ignore/withdraw steps. If you begin communicating that hard bites are unacceptable, your puppy may try giving softer bites.  You want to continue giving feedback that moderate bites are also unacceptable. Continue discouraging your puppy's next-hardest bites, and so on, until she can play with your hands gently and...

When shopping for a new pair of goggles, try on a few different pairs to compare the shapes of the lenses and the feel of the eyecups. The right pair of goggles should conform to your face to the point where they’re hardly noticeable. If the eyepieces pinch, pull, or restrict your field of vision, it’s best to go with another pair.  If you have rounded eye sockets, for example, you’ll probably be most comfortable in goggles with smooth, rounded eyepieces. If your eyes are more almond shaped, look for a pair with contoured rubber around the eyecups. Taking the time to pick out goggles that fit properly can mean the difference between swimming freely and being in constant discomfort. Put the eyepieces into position around your eyes, then apply gentle pressure to the edges. If the goggles are a good fit, they should stick to your skin for a few seconds before popping off.  You don’t need to actually slip the backstrap over your head at this point—you’re just testing how well the eyecups fit on their own. Goggles that fall off immediately are most likely the wrong shape for your face.  If only one of the eyecups stays put, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the goggles are a poor fit. Try on a couple of other pairs and note the differences between them before making a decision. Once you’re satisfied with how the eyepieces fit, finish putting the goggles on the way you normally would. Guide the backstrap over your head so that it’s level with the eyecups. With minimal adjusting, it should fit snugly without squeezing.  If you start to get a headache or experience cloudy vision after wearing the goggles for a couple of minutes, pass them up and look for a more suitable pair. The rubber backstrap may pull on your hair during your test fitting. This can be uncomfortable, but it doesn’t necessarily mean a bad pair of goggles. You shouldn’t have the same problem once you’re in the pool or wearing a swim cap. Some more expensive types of swim goggles feature adjustable nose straps. These can be tightened by unclipping the...

When shredding sensitive documents it is important to use a crosscut shredder (as opposed to a more basic strip-cut shredder), because it produces thinner strips of paper. This protects you from would-be thieves of this information from reconstructing the complete pages from the strips. Chose a machine that creates strips less than or equal to 1/32nd of an inch with a ½ inch crosscut.  Paper shredders can be purchased at office supply stores and are classified into six security levels based on the thinness of cut. One is the widest cut; six is the thinnest and approved for Top Secret government documents. Anything less than a 4 (1/16 * 5/8”) is not recommended for sensitive documents.  Most offices have paper shredders or record destruction services. Check with your office manager and see if you can bring in your own documents for destruction. hred the documents. Once you have a satisfactory shredder, begin sending all of your documents through the device’s mouth. Continue until all of your documents are done. If you have more documents than the machine can hold at one time, be sure to take the ribbons of paper out before continuing.  Do not put your hand or fingers in direct contact with the shredder’s mouth. Hold the documents by the end so that there is distance between you and the mouth. Once the shredder has the paper within its grip, release the documents. Above all, protect the safety of your hands. Traditional shredders (that cut paper into strips) won't keep someone from putting it back together. Hand ripping isn't a good idea either, especially on small documents (it takes 2 centimeters to find out a person's Social Security Number). Beyond reducing them to unrecognizable small pieces, this is one further security measure. Take a portion of each document and place them in separate bags. This way, any would be thieves cannot find matches within the same bag; they will have to sort through everything. If garbage is picked up from your house/business on a Tuesday, don’t put this out on a Wednesday. You...

When simplifying math expressions, you can't simply proceed from left to right, multiplying, adding, subtracting, and so on as you go. Some math operations take precedence over others and must be done first. In fact, doing operations out of order can give you the wrong answer. The order of operations is: terms in parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and, finally, subtraction. A handy acronym you can use to remember this is "Please excuse my Dear Aunt Sally," or "PEMDAS". Note that, while basic knowledge of the order of operations makes it possible to simplify most basic expressions, specialized techniques are needed to simplify many variable expressions, including nearly all polynomials. See Method Two below for more information. In math, parentheses indicate that the terms inside should be calculated separately from the surrounding expression. Regardless of the operations being performed within them, be sure to tackle the terms in parentheses as your first act when you attempt to simplify an expression. Note that, however, within each pair of parentheses, the order of operations still applies. For instance, within parentheses, you should multiply before you add, subtract, etc.  As an example, let's try to simplify the expression 2x + 4(5 + 2) + 32 - (3 + 4/2). In this expression, we would solve the terms in parentheses, 5 + 2 and 3 + 4/2, first. 5 + 2 = 7. 3 + 4/2 = 3 + 2 = 5. The second parenthetical term simplifies to 5 because, owing to the order of operations, we divide 4/2 as our first act inside the parentheses. If we simply went from left to right, we might instead add 3 and 4 first, then divide by 2, giving the incorrect answer of 7/2.  Note - if there are multiple parentheses nested inside one another, solve the innermost terms first, than the second-innermost, and so on. After tackling parentheses, next, solve your expression's exponents. This is easy to remember because, in exponents, the base number and the power are positioned right next to each other. Find the answer to...

When someone has martyr syndrome, they often choose to continue suffering, rather than fixing the problem, because they think that their suffering provides them with the completeness and fulfillment required to lead a meaningful and whole life. More than anything, a person with martyr syndrome longs for recognition and approval from those around them. Continuing to suffer, rather than fixing the problem, is a common symptom of those who are in an abusive or harassing relationship. They stay with the person causing them pain because they think that they can change the person’s ways with their unselfish behavior. Even if they have the choice of getting out of their bad situation, they choose to stay in it because they think it is more noble to suffer and if they leave the situation, they may be viewed as selfish. For example, someone may stay with an abusive spouse for two reasons.  One would be that they think it is their duty to fix the partner and their relationship, so they suffer in order to be unselfish and mend the partner's ways. The second reason may be that they choose to stay because they does not want their children to live in a disturbed home. Because of this, they choose to suffer rather than letting their children suffer, as they think would happen if they were to leave their spouse. People with martyr syndrome often select someone to be their role model. This role model is generally someone who chose to suffer rather than confront a situation in order to achieve a goal of some kind. Because of this role model, the person is ruled by thoughts of others and puts themselves on a pedestal of  for having taken up the task of rendering selfless services for the sake of others. People with martyr syndrome often look and act unhappy because they feel that their sacrifices are underappreciated. A person with martyr syndrome will often feel like the person they have sacrificed for does not really how instrumental they have been in the person’s success. The person will mostly talk about how difficult life...

Следует понимать, что люди с синдромом мученика сами выбирают страдать. Умейте распознать синдром мученика в том, кто (как вы подозреваете) подвергается насилию в отношениях. Обратите внимание на ролевую модель, которой человек следует. Обратите внимание, часто ли человек жалуется на то, что его бескорыстие никто не замечает. Стоит понимать, что человеку с синдромом мученика очень трудно позволить людям, ради которых он приносил себя в жертву, жить своей жизнью. Отметьте, что человек всегда будет говорить о себе подчеркнуто с уважением. Человек ожидает от всех и каждого благосклонности и симпатии. Имейте в виду, что помощь человек не примет. Будьте готовы к тому, что человек будет требовать от вас проявлений любви и уважения.


When someone is being critical, whiny or just plain ornery, it can be hard not to snap or lose your temper entirely. You might feel that the person deserves to be taken down a notch or two. But negativity begets more negativity, and if you stoop to the difficult person's level, you'll just be giving them more fuel and making the situation worse. If you can keep your cool and resist the urge to snap right back or get defensive, the tension is likely to go away more quickly.  Try practicing the adage "think before you speak." Take just an extra 10 seconds to decide what you're going to say instead of reactively blurting something out. This will help to keep you from saying something you might regret. Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. You might feel angry or hurt by the difficult person's words, but yelling or stomping away likely won't help the situation. Hard as it might be, try to see things from the other person's perspective. When someone has a difficult personality, it's often rooted in bad experiences that caused them to have a warped point of view. Put yourself in the person's shoes and think about what it would like to be them. Having empathy might help you better understand why the person acts the way they do and react with understanding instead of defensiveness. Sometimes putting on a smile and treating the person with kindness is the best way to deal with bad behavior.  For example, maybe you have a friend who's incessantly critical of others. People like this are usually deeply self critical, too. Knowing this might help you realize that the best way to deflect your friend's difficult behavior is to give her a cheerful compliment, or help her see the best in herself and others. Research shows that people who bully others are often victims of bullying. A person who is cruel and demeaning has probably been on the receiving end of that at some point in life. If you can see through the meanness and realize the person is in pain, that might help you find positive ways to deal with the...

When someone is cheating, they often start to blame the other person so they don’t have to feel guilty. Notice if your girlfriend starts to point out issues in your relationship or complains about ways you aren’t being a good partner.  She might say things like, “You never listen to me!” “The romance is dead in our relationship!” or “I see you talking to other girls all the time.” If she’s cheating, she’ll need time to spend with her new partner, so her schedule will change. Notice if she’s working late often or suddenly has little time for you. She might be spending that time with a new partner.  For instance, she might say she’s working late even though she’s never had to do that before. Similarly, she might suddenly be traveling for work despite not getting a pay bump. Don’t automatically assume she’s cheating just because her schedule changes. For instance, she might work more hours if she wants a promotion or she might take up a new hobby to improve herself. It’s okay for her to do new things. If she’s cheating, she may suddenly lose interest in being intimate with you or she may have more desire for intimacy. Look for dramatic changes in how often you kiss, touch, and have sex. This could be a sign she’s cheating.  On the one hand, she might not want to be intimate with you as often. In this case, she might pull away when you kiss her or show no interest in sex. However, she might suddenly be much more affectionate and may want sex more often. She may even show off some new sexual moves. Normally, couples talk about their problems and their goals for the future. However, your girlfriend might not want to open up to you if she’s feeling emotionally distant from you or she’s talking to a new partner. Consider if she’s suddenly talking to you less. Additionally, ask her questions about what’s going on in her life to see if she’ll open up. You might ask, “How has work been lately?” “Are you excited about the upcoming holidays?” “You’ve seemed stressed lately. What’s on your mind?”
