If you are constructing an altar for a specific purpose or holiday, you might want to look up details of that tradition online before you begin. Searching for photos and examples of similar altars is a great way to get started. Many people mix and match components of different religions, spiritual traditions, and cultures that have personal importance to them.  Day of the Dead altars typically include pictures of saints and deceased relatives; candles; flowers, food, and drink. You can make a similar altar in homage of a deceased friend or relative, using food and toys that person would enjoy. St. Joseph's Day Altars are constructed in many places on March 19th. They are usually constructed in three tiers covered with food and decorations, surrounding a statue of St. Joseph. You can construct a similar altar to celebrate another holiday. After honoring the saint or holiday, eat the food with friends and family or give it to people in need of food. If you plan to quietly meditate or pray, select a quiet location out of the way of passers-by. If you wish to keep your altar as a central focus point or use it for group ceremonies, place it in a larger room. If space is limited and you travel a lot, consider making a portable altar. This can be a collapsible table, a tray, or even a cloth that can be packed in a suitcase along with a few altar decorations. Your altar may be located anywhere you choose for example it could be a stack of stones in your garden, on shelves on a glass-protected cabinet, on a cloth on the floor, on your kitchen table, in a designated room, or any place that you feel it should be.  If you plan to use the altar for rituals that require table space, for instance grinding herbs or burning incense, make sure it is large and flat enough for that purpose. Also, you may choose to place a cushion or chair in front of your altar for meditation or prayer. If there will be children or people shorter than you using the altar, consider whether you need to add an additional lower surface that everyone...

If you are experiencing itchy gums and home remedies don’t help after seven to 10 days, schedule an appointment with your dentist. She can figure out the cause of your discomfort and find the right treatment for it.  Itchy gums may be a product of fungal, viral, or bacterial infections; certain medications; nutritional deficiencies; improperly fitting dentures; teeth grinding; allergies; stress, or periodontal disease. Schedule your appointment as soon as possible. You may not notice any changes to your gums or mouth with some oral conditions. Tell your dentist when the symptoms started, what treatments you’ve tried, and what relieves or makes symptoms worse. Let your dentist know any medical conditions you have and medications you are taking. If you’re itchy gums, your dentist may check and test for gingivitis, which is a mild form of gum disease with a variety of causes. Once she’s determined a cause for your itchy gums, your dentist will develop the best treatment plan for you.  Your dentist may be able to diagnose gingivitis or the cause of your itchy gums by examining your teeth, gums, and oral cavity. She’ll especially check your gums for redness, puffiness, and easy bleeding, which are symptoms of gingivitis.  Your dentist may refer you to another doctor such as an internist or allergist to rule out underlying conditions. Depending on your diagnosis, your doctor may suggest or prescribe medication to relieve the itching sensation. You may also need medication or treatment to treat underlying oral or medical conditions. In many cases, itchy gums and gingivitis are caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar. Having your teeth deep cleaned can remove the cause of your itchy gums and promote your overall oral health. Your dentist may clean your teeth using one of the following procedures:  Scaling, which removes tartar above and below the gum line Root planing, in which the dentist scales the root surface of the tooth, getting rid of bacteria and infected areas. This process leaves a polished surface for...

If you are feeling like you can't accomplish something, take a step out of yourself for a moment and imagine you are a completely different person. Think about what you would tell another person in your situation. For example, if you're nervous about going to a party where you don't know a lot of people or are interviewing for a new job, think about the advice you would give a person in a similar situation. If you look at it this way, you'll see that there's nothing to be scared about and that you will succeed if you put your mind to it. Write down all of the things that you are worried about, and all of the factors that make you feel like you can't accomplish a thing. Read them over and ask yourself how many of them are rational, and how many are just a product of negative thinking. Take the time to really think of what's at the root of your fears -- whether it's making a fool of yourself, disappointing your parents, or not having the life you want. See how many of your fears you can tackle, and how many positive solutions you can think of for all of the things that are worrying you. It's perfectly natural to be afraid of failure or of coming off looking bad. Everybody has these fears from time to time. It's unnatural, however, to be so plagued with worry that you feel like you can't get a single thing done. Instead of focusing on all the times you embarrassed yourself, failed at something, or just looked silly, you should take a long hard look at all the times that you've done really well. Think of the success you've had in school, the great friendships you've maintained, or just of random times when you made a group of people crack up because of your winning sense of humor. The more great times you remember, the more confidence you'll have that you can have more of them in the future. It can be helpful to write down each of your successes after they happen. Keep a success journal at your desk and fill it up with proud achievements and fond memories. When you feel incapable of anything and feel like you...

If you are feeling the urge to self-harm, consider going somewhere to be around people. This could be as simple as going into the living room to be with your family or roommates.  You might choose to go to a public place, like a coffee shop or a public park. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, decide to stop before you harm yourself. Make sure to surround yourself with people. If you're alone in your house or are unable to leave, call someone to talk with. This could be a family member, trusted friend, or a hotline. Many hotlines are available featuring information for people struggling with self-harm, and resources for help.  It is helpful to create a phone list of people you can call. Make sure these numbers are in your phone:  1-800-273-TALK: This is a 24-hour crisis hotline if you’re about to self-harm or are in an emergency situation. 1-800-334-HELP: This number is the Self Injury Foundation’s 24-hour national crisis line. 1-800-DON’T-CUT: This number provides information about self-harm.   You can even try talking to an inanimate object, a pet, a photograph, or a poster. These objects can give you somewhere to aim your voice and won’t judge you for your actions. Remember that different helplines are available in different countries, and calling a helpline abroad may result in additional charges. If you are thinking about suicide, get help immediately. Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or your local emergency response (call 911). The following are some signs to look for:  Talking about wanting to die or to kill yourself.

If you are feeling unhappy with being alone, there is a reason for this feeling. People may feel negative emotions when there is something wrong with their environment. Thus, perhaps you are sad because you are alone and should work toward being less alone, or feeling better when you are alone. Trying to convince yourself of something that isn't true (that you are happy being alone) will probably not work and can even lead to you feeling worse. Instead of trying to convince or lie to yourself that you are happy, work toward actually feeling happy. Look at your feelings as useful information. The next time you are feeling unhappy with being alone, trust this feeling. Tell yourself, "I trust my feelings. I am unhappy being alone. I can try to fix this." Your values dictate your behaviors. If you understand your personal values you can be more in tune with yourself, which can increase your ability to feel comfortable being alone.  Pay attention to your culture and traditions. If you engage in spiritual or cultural traditions, think of ways you can do these activities when you are alone. Make a list of things you value in life (ideas, material possessions). This list might look like: family, friends, home, trust, honesty, love, respect, culture, and religion. Consider ways that you can honor these values even when you are by yourself. Are there goals you can work toward in regard to your family, home, or religion? In order to feel happy with being alone you may first need to accept and love who you are. If you are uncomfortable with yourself, you may not like spending time alone and may feel you need other people to distract or validate you. You are an interesting and unique individual. Take the time to get to know yourself and improve your self-confidence.  Knowing who you are is about owning your personal identity. Try writing down the many positive characteristics you have such as: an outgoing personality, kindness, compassion, enthusiasm, passion, love, and empathy. Do something to express yourself. Maybe...

If you are fine with chemical treatments, then a pre-emergent herbicide should be applied to the area just before new growth would be expected to form. This is especially important if you have had problems with foxtail already.  A few standard chemical options include dacthal, balan, and pendimethalin.  For an organic pre-emergent herbicide, try corn gluten meal. Sprinkle the product after your new lawn begins to grow to prevent foxtail and other weeds from taking root. Do not use it before growing your new lawn, though, since it could also prevent the desired grass from growing. Apply a pre-emergent herbicide treatment in the spring. If you apply it too early, though, they can lose their effectiveness. For best results, apply the herbicide once the weather warms up and stays warm. Lay it down just before you would expect the fox tail to pop up. The soil conditions need to be ideal for other plants. If other plants can thrive in the soil, they will grow and absorb more nutrients, making it harder for the foxtail to find enough nutrients to survive.  The exact pH your soil should be will vary depending on the type of vegetation you have there. The fertilizer and other soil amendments you use on the area will affect the pH. Note that such amendments generally have a greater impact on the pH if they are worked into the soil instead of spread on top. Herbicides can affect the pH, as well. As a general rule, if you add an acidic herbicide, balance it out with an alkaline substance afterward, and vice versa. Have a sample of your soil analyzed for pH at a lab. When an area of land is crowded by too much vegetation, some of the vegetation will inevitably die off once the roots begin to compete for nutrients and resources.  You could also replace the grass entirely with sod. When choosing vegetation to plant in the area, opt for a solid-stand crop like legumes or grass hay. Row crops, like soybeans and corn, offer too much space in the soil and are not effective at stopping foxtail growth. If you plant other forms of...

If you are getting to a point where you notice that he lies to you about seeing other girls, isn’t straight with you about his true feelings for you, or keeps making excuses for why he is busy, don’t continue to act like you believe him. You should stop the game, and have a talk with him. Make a plan to talk to him, and think about what you want to say before the situation arises. For example, if you think he will probably end up canceling a date with you at the last moment, think about your response in advance. Then when he calls and makes the excuse that “Something came up” respond to him by simply saying “Okay, we need to talk soon.”  Sometimes guys who are players are attracted to girls who don’t put up with their games. Be prepared for this, and if he seems more interested in you than before, don’t give into his manipulation. You don’t want to be with someone who likes you just because you call him out on his lies. Your response shouldn’t turn into a guilt trip or a fight. Don’t try to make him feel guilty because you won’t be able to change him by calling him out or fighting. Remember that the only person you can control is yourself. If you are pretty sure that you will crumble if you argue with him, think about how you can distance yourself from him indirectly and quietly. The most important thing is to get out of the situation as soon as possible It is tempting to call out the guy you like when you feel like your emotions are being played with. But if you are dealing with a guy who has been lying to you about his intentions already, you shouldn’t ask him about his intentions because he will most likely lie to you about how he feels again when put on the spot. Instead, you should tell him where you are with the relationship and why you want to leave.  For example, you could say something like, “I’ve noticed that I am more into this relationship than you are, and I want to stop seeing each other because I realize I need more.” Depending on how close you were, you can tell him you want out of the...

If you are going by a project basis, you will need to be able to say "That is beyond the scope of the project," so that you are not offering services for free if a client changes their mind. If a client wants to change the scope, build in a renegotiation process so that you aren't doing work you are not working on something for free. It is better to break into your consulting field by taking this 1-time hit in payment, than to set low rates. Your client will appreciate the discount, but understand when they are billed in full next time. You want to be able to bill at the higher rate, but if you feel that you want the client to be extra-pleased with your work, you have the freedom to bill for fewer hours than you worked. It is not a good idea to do this very often, but it is better than setting a low figure at the start. You want the client to see the value in employing you on larger projects, so raise your rates for small projects, and then offer to discount them if you take a larger role. If you are brand new, you can start high and send out proposals until you find a "sweet spot" where your services are billed at the right level. You may find that this level is higher than you expected.

If you are going to a big school or college, it’s really useful to know where all your classes are. Print out a map and highlight where your classes are. This will stop you from having to search for them on your first day.   Don't be scared about being late to your classes or not knowing where your classes are. On the first day of school teachers understand that you don't yet know your schedule and will be understanding if you are late. If you are having trouble finding your classes, ask a staff member for help. You will be able to find a map of your school on their website. Take the map to school with you so that other people can point you in the right direction if you get lost. Some high schools and colleges have websites where students can log in and find messages and materials from their teachers. Log into your school’s website before the first day to see if there are any messages or special materials you will need to review. For example, your teacher may have posted the syllabus for the class online. This will tell you more about the class, including your required textbooks, assignments, and the teacher’s policies. On your first day of school, you will most likely be asked to participate in icebreaker games. These are a great way to get to know other people in your class but can be a bit nerve-wracking if you feel shy. Practice saying your name, 2 facts about yourself, and where you are from. Say it a few times in front of the mirror, or practice saying it to your parents. This will help you feel more confident about talking in front of your class. If you already know someone at your school, ask if they have any of the same classes or lunch periods. If they do, organize to meet up before class or lunch. Having someone you know will help you to feel more comfortable in a new environment. Send your friends a picture of your schedule so they can compare it with their own. This will give you less time to worry about the next day. If you have a good sleep you are more likely to feel alert, energized, and...

If you are going to be putting your hands near an open cut, whether on you or someone else, your hands should be clean. Wash with soap and water, and dry off before handling any bandages or ointments.  If you don’t have water, antibacterial cleanser will do the trick in a pinch. Water is better, but the important thing is to keep your hands clean to avoid infecting the wound. If disposable protective gloves are available, go ahead and use them. They aren’t necessary, but anything to help prevent infection is a good idea. Make sure the cut isn’t bleeding anymore before you start to put on any ointments or bandages. Hold a sterile bandage or clean cloth on the cut until it clots and the bleeding stops.  If the cut is really small, a tissue might be enough to soak up the blood. If you can get a clean cloth, though, that is better. Don’t pull off the cloth or gauze to check on the wound until the bleeding has definitely stopped. That can cause the bleeding to restart.  If blood starts to seep through, and the cloth or gauze has gotten soaked, don’t remove it from the cut. Simply add more on top, and keep up the pressure. Use water to rinse out the cut, and use soap to help clean the area around the cut. Try to keep soap out of the cut.  Washing the cut is also important because it will let you see how big it is. If it is especially large or deep, contact a doctor before trying to apply a bandage on your own. Spread a thin layer of antibiotic cream over the cut to help prevent further infection. Something simple like Neosporin or Polysporin should be more than enough.  Some people are allergic to certain ointments, which cause a mild rash to appear on the skin. If the person starts to get a rash, stop using the ointment. You can either apply a band-aid, or hold a piece of gauze there and wrap with medical tape or a larger bandage. This will help keep the wound clean and keep bacteria out.  Make sure your bandage covers the entire wound. If there are parts that the bandage can’t cover, use another one. If the wound...

If you are going to talk about the state of your relationship, you should find a time when you two can hang out alone together. Ask him if he’s free one weekend and invite him over to your place. If he doesn’t agree or tries to avoid coming over, it might be a sign that he’s not interested. Don’t ambush him right away with the big question. Do something fun that you two have always enjoyed together. Play a video game, watch a movie, or discuss sports. When you feel the time is right, pause the video game or movie. You can even wait until just before he goes home. Ask him if you can have a few minutes to talk. Reassure him that you don’t want to make things awkward, but that you want to clear up some confusion about your relationship. You don’t have to reveal if you like him or not yet.  You can try saying, “Hey, do you mind if we have a quick chat? I want to discuss something with you. I’m confused about the state of our relationship, and I want to clarify what we are.” A conversation like this can be awkward, and you want your friend to be as comfortable as possible. Tell him how much you value your friendship. You can say, “Your friendship means so much to me, and I want to make sure that nothing happens to it. At the same time, I want to make sure that we are both clear in what we want from each other.” The question itself can be difficult. You might want to practice beforehand with a friend or counselor to help you. There are a number of ways you can phrase the question.   “How do you see our relationship?” “Do you ever see us being more than friends?” “How do you feel about me?” He may react by being shy, bashful, embarrassed, or nervous. Allow him some time to think and phrase his answer. Don’t interrupt him. Wait until he is finished speaking before you say anything. If he says you are like a sister, a friend, or “one of the guys,” it’s a sign that he values your friendship but doesn’t want anything more than that. React gracefully. Tell him that it is fine for him to feel that way and that you are...

If you are going to the beach and just plan to wade in the water, you probably need to know the basics of swimming. However, if you want to really swim out far into the ocean, you need to make sure you are a strong swimmer. Waves can be difficult to swim in, and the tide can often carry you far away from your original location, so be prepared to work hard while swimming. If you don't feel confident in your swimming skills to swim out in the ocean, take some time to practice in a local pool. Make sure you have the basic motions down, and you can learn a few strokes as well. The stronger swimmer you are the easier and more enjoyable it will be to swim in the ocean. When you swim out into the ocean and are only surrounded by blue water, it can be easy to lose sight of where you started. Before you go out to swim, try to choose a large landmark so that you'll know what to swim back to. You'll likely drift with the current, so it's important to remember how to get back. Before you go to a beach to swim, it's wise to check what the weather forecast is for the day. If it is mostly sunny you are safe to swim at the beach. However, if the forecast shows thunderstorms or lots of rain, today might not be the best day to take a swim. You can usually visit a beach if it's light rainfall all day, but keep in mind that it may be harder to see while you swim, so it could be dangerous. Beaches often place signs out to instruct swimmers and guests of the current conditions at the beach. For example, a beach may have a sign explaining that there is a lot of seaweed recently, that the tides are higher, the riptide is stronger than usual, or that there have been shark sightings. It's good to take a look at these signs so you are aware of the conditions of the water at the beach and so that you can follow the rules set. Another good reason to read the signs is they may share information about where it is safe to swim in the water. Before visiting a beach, it may be good to look up the location on the internet. Many beaches,...

If you are handwriting the recipient’s information on the envelope, do this before you insert the letter so that you don’t leave dents in the paper.  If you want your letter to look more professional, you can use your printer to print out the address on the envelope. You should write the recipient’s address on the front of the envelope in the center (e.g.  if you are in the US: name, address, city, state, and zip code), as well as the return address (your name, address, city, state, and zip code) in the top left hand corner. Before you fold the letter, check that the address on the letter and the address on the envelope correspond. Double check that you have signed the letter. The text should be facing up towards you as though you were reading it. Take the bottom edge of the page. Fold it up and over so that the bottom edge lines up about one third the way up the page. If you aren’t sure how much this is, take your envelope and place it underneath the middle of your letter to use as a guide. Before you crease the fold, make sure that the outside edges of the letter all line up perfectly to avoid crooked creases.  If the edges aren’t lined up properly, your fold will be crooked and your letter may not fit into the envelope. Once you are sure they are lined up, use your finger to crease the fold carefully. Now take the top part of the letter and fold it downwards so that there is about half an inch (about 1 cm) of space between the bottom crease and the top (folded down) edge of the letter. Again, use your envelope as a guide if you aren’t sure. When your envelope is lying underneath the letter you can check to make sure that it will fit inside by lining up the top and bottom creases of the letter with the top and bottom of the envelope. Don’t forget to line up the top part of the fold with the edges of the page. This will give you a nice clean and straight fold. You can hold a ruler sideways between your fingers and slide the thin edge of the ruler along the paper to create a flat and crisp crease if you want...

If you are happy with the way your drawings turned out, the only major edit you will need to make will be to speed the video up. "Draw My Life" videos generally are sped up so the video doesn't drag during the drawings. Use editing software like iMovie or others to speed the video up. You may also wish to cut scenes that you don't think fit within the video. If you don't feel comfortable with a scene, cut it out. If you think a scene is unnecessary, cut it out. Use your editing skills from previous videos you have made. Make sure you're in a place where no one will disturb you. It is much easier to talk over the video rather than trying to talk while drawing. Use the loose script you made earlier and try to edit the audio so that it is succinct and describes the events you are drawing in a focused manner. Speak clearly and concisely so your audience will be able to understand you. Be sure what you are talking about properly lines up with what you are presenting through your drawings. This will be the step that is most arduous in terms of editing. Or you can keep it for yourself and watch it when you grow up. Take any negative comments in stride and try not to let it affect you.

If you are having a panic attack in a crowded hallway or class, calmly, but quickly, give your teacher the cue and then make your way to the nurse's or counselor's office or the restroom. When your body is experiencing panic your heart starts beating rapidly, you may feel a pain in your chest, your hands may shake, you may feel short of breath and you may start sweating among other signs. Getting control of your breathing can help you to calm down and reduce panic.  Sit on a chair, the closed lid of a toilet, or on the floor with your back up against the wall. Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Take slow, controlled breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you inhale the hand on your belly should expand, and it will collapse with each exhale. The hand on your chest should move only a little. Breathe in while you count to four, hold your breath for a few seconds, and then release the air as you count down from four. Keep repeating the cycle of inhaling and exhaling until you start to feel calmer. Sometimes, you can control feelings of panic with distraction techniques. These strategies allow you to take your mind off of panic until the symptoms subside. A few distraction techniques you can try to relax include:  Counting. You can count square tiles on the bathroom wall. You can try counting backwards from 100, or work out the multiplication table in your head (e.g. 1x1=1, 1x2=2, and so on). Reciting. You can make up or recite the words to a poem, or go over the lyrics to a favorite song in your head. Visualizing. Use your mind and your senses to picture a place that makes you feel safe. This place can be a cabin on a lake, grandma's house, or an exotic waterfall. Call to your mind different sensations about the place. How does it sound there? What does it look like? What smells are associated with this place? When you are feeling panicky, it's common to expect the worst.

If you are having pain and discomfort from piriformis syndrome, then one of the best things you can do is rest your body. Piriformis syndrome may be the result of irritation or injury from exercise or other forms of strenuous activity. If you have a physical job or you like to exercise every day, then this advice may be a challenge for you. But it is important to rest to avoid further damage or irritation to the piriformis and to allow it to recover. Heat therapy is an effective way to help soothe pain and discomfort caused by piriformis syndrome. Heat therapy is also an effective way to warm up your muscles before stretching them. Try using a heating pad on the affected area or take a warm bath to cover more areas at once. Certain stretches have been found to be effective at relieving some of the pain and discomfort associated with piriformis syndrome. For best results, you will need to perform the stretches three times per day.  To perform a piriformis stretch, you will need to lay on the floor with your knees bent and both of your feet flat on the floor. Then, pull your right leg in towards your chest and use your left hand to pull the leg over to the left side of your body. Hold the stretch for five to 30 seconds, depending on your abilities. Repeat the stretch on the other leg. After stretching, applying ice can be an effective way to reduce pain and swelling associated with piriformis syndrome. To use ice, wrap an ice pack or bag of frozen vegetables in a thin cloth or paper towel. Then place the ice pack on the most painful area. Leave the ice pack in place for about 20 minutes and then remove it. Wait for at least 2 hours to reapply. Piriformis syndrome may be agitated by sitting or standing in certain positions, so you will need to make sure to avoid these positions. Do what you need to do to make yourself comfortable while sitting and standing. Try sitting on a cushion or comfortable chair if sitting feels painful to you. If you have trouble standing, consider using crutches or a cane to help...

If you are having trouble clearing notifications or an incorrect badge count for an SMS or MMS message, try this method. The messaging app will usually be at the bottom of the home screen. The options vary by messaging app. The location will vary, but it'll usually be at the top-left or top-right corner of the screen.  The location may vary, but you'll usually have to select an option for Text Messages first. This will display a list of messages stored on the SIM card. You can usually do this by tapping and holding one message and then tapping additional messages. This will remove the selected messages from your phone's SIM card, which will hopefully prevent them from displaying notifications on your Android.

If you are hoping to build close friendships, don’t worry yourself with external characteristics, such as how the person looks or how much money he has. Instead, dig deeper and pay attention to internal signs of a healthy connection. Ask yourself the following about a potential friend:  Do I feel safe around this person? Can I be myself around him or her, or do I have to tiptoe around eggshells when we’re together? Does this person treat me with respect? Is he or she supportive of my ideas and goals? Can I trust this person? Is this person overly critical of me? Does this person take my kindness for granted? Good friends may discourage your participation in unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive drinking. However, the reverse is also true. Friends can impact our choices and even unconsciously sway us to pick up unhealthy habits.  In University of Liverpool study, when one friend ordered an alcoholic beverage, 80% of the time, the other friend followed suit. Friends even matched how heavy the other friend drank, without even knowing.  If a potential friend has unhealthy habits or negatively influences your life, you may need to assess the value of that friendship. While drinking may not be a make or break for a new friendship, drug addiction or criminal activity might be red flags for you to stay away from a fledgling relationship. Deepening and maintaining a relationship requires continuous nurturing and attention.Therefore, a successful friendship must exhibit both giving and receiving of time, attention, and effort.  The give and take in a friendship may not always be equal. For example, your friend might be really stressed over her parents’ divorce and require more support for a time. However, if the friendship is always one-sided, and you are constantly giving of yourself or acting against your own needs or values, this may not be a friendship you choose to continue.

If you are in a field that crosses disciplines you might need to write the paper a bit differently than if you were aiming the information at one field. In some cases, you may want your study to be accessible to all readers, so you need to write the paper in a way that everyone will understand. In other cases, the audience may be people in the same field that have background knowledge of the subject.  Since it is a technical paper, you will need to use some technical language, but avoid jargon for the sake of jargon and use acronyms only when absolutely necessary.  Define all acronyms the first time you use the full word or phrase, then use the acronym throughout the rest of the paper. For the most part, journals will require you to use active voice. This is not the case for every journal so make sure to check the style guide before you start writing. To use active voice, write statements like “We performed this experiment…” instead of “The experiment was performed…” If you are submitting the paper to a journal for publication, they will have a style guide or author guide that details all of the necessary formatting. It will tell you the maximum word count, the margin size, the font size/style, references format, etc. Following the author guide is absolutely necessary when submitting the paper for publication. Any restrictions on table/figure sizes or table/figure legends will also be included in the style guide. Every scientific paper is structured the same way. It starts with an abstract that briefly summarizes the paper and then leads into an introduction. The materials and methods come next, followed by the results. The paper concludes with the discussion section and a list of references.  Some journals move the materials and methods to the end of the paper and/or combine the results with the discussion section. Check the style guide for the specific journal you are submitting to. Although this is the order the paper will be published in, it is not necessarily the best order to write each section. Follow...

If you are in college or getting ready to start college, consider majoring in a field that will help you support your cause. For example, you could major in a field like organizational leadership, or you could focus on something more specific to the cause you are interested in, e.g., environmental science or women’s studies. If you're new to the workforce, internships can be a great way to begin a career as an activist. During college or just after college, look for internships related to your interests. See if your favorite grassroots organizations and non-profits offer internships. Talk to your college advisor about where to find internships related to activism. Completing one or more relevant internships can put you on the right track to becoming a career activist. Some degree programs may require you to complete an internship to graduate. Make sure you check your graduation requirements and complete an internship if it's necessary for your degree. If you are ready to start working, look for jobs that are relevant to your interests. See if charities and grassroots organizations you believe in having any open positions that are suited to your skills. For example, if you have strong writing and editing skills, see if you can work as a copywriter for a grassroots organization. If you have skills with planning and coordinating events, look for work as a volunteer coordinator. Basically, whatever job skills you have are probably useful to some activist organization out there that supports your cause — they may need accountants, drivers, cooks, carpenters, doctors, etc.

If you are in debt, you can't afford to be an ostrich. Don't bury your head in the sand and give up. Immediately, right now, you've got to figure out how much money you owe so you can form a plan for getting out of the hole and getting on with your life. Get realistic and crunch some numbers. Generally credit card debt, car payments, mortgage, and student loans make up the majority of outstanding debt that most people struggle with. Add up these debts and any other types of debt that you've incurred. Get a number on the table and face it. Once you've got the raw data, it's important to look a little closer. Which loans have the highest percentage of interest? Part of the reason debt is so hard to get out of is that it gets bigger over time. If you don't pay it down quickly, you end up paying a lot more in the long run, making it very difficult to get out from underneath. Review your finances thoroughly, crunch the numbers, and see which method of making payments will be the most effective for your situation.  Work on paying down the debt with the highest interest first, while making minimal payments on everything else. This is sometimes called "laddering" your debt, and helps the borrower feel more actively in control of the debt. If the interest rates are similar for your debts, pay off the one with the lowest balance first. This is sometimes called "reverse laddering," which allows you see your progress faster, and will make you feel good after each smaller debt is paid off. . You don't have to go about this alone. Loan paperwork is notoriously complex; it's frustrating to try to go through it solo, but find a financial advisor that you can trust and talk about consolidating the loans into a more manageable single payment each month, to make it easier to pay down your debt. It may also be possible to get the interest rate lowered on certain loans, or to establish a deferral for a short period of time. In some situations, you may be able to defer the payment for a certain length of time, during which you...

If you are in the habit of driving to your local grocery store or driving your kids to school, changing these habits can make a big impact on your step count. Instead of driving to distances within a mile or 2 of your home or work, walking will add 2,000 to 3,000 steps to your daily tally. Avoiding the elevator during your workweek is a great way to get more steps. If you work or live in buildings with multiple floors, replacing the elevator with the staircase will increase your step count without you having to alter your schedule. The same goes for escalators. Take regular staircases instead whenever you are able. With technology, communicating with coworkers has become really simple. Take this opportunity to set down your phone and walk to a coworker's desk. You will gain small amounts of steps every day and enjoy some face-to-face interaction. If you work from home, try taking gifts to your neighbors or walking with a friend during your breaks instead of talking on the phone or texting. A great way to add steps to your daily tally is to simply go out of your way during your daily routine. If there is a bathroom up a flight of stairs or on the opposite side of the building, decide to spend the extra time walking. These small changes in your routine will make an impact on your overall step count. If you sit while talking on the phone or watching television, you are missing out on a lot of opportunities to increase your step count. Walking in place or pacing back and forth while you do an otherwise stationary task will increase your step count without you realizing that you are exercising. Consider purchasing a treadmill desk to increase your steps while you work. These walking desks cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000 USD. During your 15-minute breaks from work, make the conscious decision to leave the building and go for a walk outside or simply walk around the office. Downloading podcasts to your phone and listening to them while you walk is a great way to make these walks fun and interesting.

If you are looking for a low-fat or vegetarian heavy cream substitute, try blending tofu with unflavored soy milk until the mixture is smooth.This substitute is a healthy alternative for heavy cream. Cottage cheese and non-fat milk powder can be mixed in equal amounts to create a low-calorie heavy cream substitute. Mix the ingredients until there are no lumps in the mixture. If you don't have powdered milk for this recipe, you can use skim milk instead. Chill the evaporated milk and add vanilla extract to taste. This mixture is a good one for soup recipes that call for heavy cream. Greek yogurt is much thicker than regular yogurt and can be used as a substitute for heavy cream while reducing the fat in the recipe. Be aware that if you are baking cookies or bread recipes that call for heavy cream, you may want to use half yogurt and half whole milk to preserve some of the taste of the fat.  In recipes such as cheesecake where the texture is critical, you may want to use half heavy cream and half Greek yogurt to reduce the fat in your recipe. Yogurt will curdle when heated too fast. Use low heat if you are making a sauce with Greek yogurt. You can even make your own Greek yogurt by wrapping 2 cups of plain milk yogurt in a cheesecloth. Let the liquid drain off for several hours and you will be left with 1 cup of thick yogurt. For each 1 cup of heavy cream in a recipe, you can use a substitute of butter and half-and-half. Melt 1/6 cup of butter and allow it to cool. Be sure it does not solidify during the cooling process. Put 7/8 cup of half-and-half into a bowl and stir in the cool melted butter until they are well blended. Substituting low-fat cream cheese will provide the same consistency while reducing the calories and fat in the recipe.  If the recipe calls for 1 cup of heavy cream, use only 1/2 cup of cream cheese. The taste of the cream cheese is a little sour. Don’t use it in recipes that need the sweetness of heavy cream.

If you are looking for a mask to help you sleep at night in a relatively dark bedroom, then the mask doesn't need to be particularly thick since there will be very little light. If you are looking for a mask to help you sleep on a plane, in a car, or during the day, then you will want to find a heavier-duty mask. It is best to shop for your eye mask in person, since many of the important qualities (amount of light blocked, fit, comfort, etc.) are very difficult to evaluate while shopping online. Masks will typically tie or clasp closed at either the front or side of the head. Laying your head on the side where the mask closes can cause discomfort and make it difficult to sleep. Make sure that the mask you select closes in a location which will not interfere with your preferred sleeping position. Eye masks are made of many different materials, from natural materials like cotton and wool, to synthetic materials like polyester. Some masks (especially inexpensive varieties) may be made of materials which not everyone will find comfortable. Even a minor tickle or irritation on your face or head may make sleeping in the mask very difficult. Make sure to try the mask on before you buy it, if you can. An eye mask which is the wrong shape for your face may cause discomfort, and allow in excess light. Try different brands and sizes of mask until you find one that you can wear comfortably.   When properly adjusted, your mask should be tight enough that it doesn't slide freely around on your face, but not so tight that the mask is pressed down directly on your eyes. Pay attention to how well the mask fits around the bridge of your nose. If the fit is not correct, you may be able to see light entering through a gap between the mask and your nose. Masks are available with elastic patches covering the bridge of the nose, blocking out the excess light. A wide variety of mask options are available with additional features, such as comfortable gel filling, integral ear muffs to block sound, or pleasant scents. Take a look at...

If you are not able to locate a pad, don’t worry. You can use toilet paper to create a make-shift pad until you go home or can get to the nurse's office. Simply take a long piece of toilet paper and fold it into a rectangle. Place your toilet paper rectangle in the crotch of your underwear. Then take another long piece of toilet paper, and wrap it around both the rectangle and your underpants, holding the make-shift pad in place. You will want to check this more often that you would check a traditional pad, but it should do the trick! If you have just gotten your first period, a visit to the school nurse might be a good idea. The nurse can provide you with pads if you need them, and you can probably lay down for a little while to feel better and gain your composure. The nurse may also have a hot water bottle or heating pad you can place on your belly (for cramps), or some over-the-counter pain medication (like ibuprofen). Although first periods are usually very light, there is still a chance that you might get some blood on your pants. If this happens to you, simply wrap a long-sleeved shirt around your waist to cover it up. If you don’t have one, you may be able to borrow from a friend. The school nurse may also have extra clothes on hand for you to borrow. The most important thing is to keep a good attitude. It’s true that you might not feel very well when you have your period, and it can be a lot to handle, but it is a natural and important part of life! It means that you are a growing and changing. Having your period is something that should be celebrated, not something you should ever feel ashamed of.  Remind yourself that almost every woman goes through this! Look around you: just about every adult woman you see has experienced what you are going through. Try to have a sense of humor about it! Read about period jokes online and share them with your girlfriends. Such as, "Jokes about menstrual cycles are not funny. Period."

If you are not eating regularly, you will have a hard time feeling alert and your mood will also deteriorate. Eat healthy meals during the day, and pack snacks you can munch on when you start to feel less alert.  Eating small meals or snacks every few hours will help you keep your energy levels high and elevate your mood.  Yogurt, nuts, fresh fruit, baby carrots, and peanut butter on a whole wheat cracker make excellent high-energy snacks. Foods with complex carbohydrates and whole grains help fuel your brain and will leave you feeling more alert.  When you’re feeling out of it, opt for oatmeal, whole-grain breads and pasta, beans, lentils, and green vegetables. Pass on cookies, cakes, and foods with lots of sugar because these will not provide lasting energy. Foods rich in antioxidants eliminate free radicals, which can deteriorate brain cells and make you less alert. Try these foods that are full of antioxidants:  Raspberries. Strawberries. Blueberries. Apples. Bananas. Leafy green vegetables such as spinach and kale. Beans. Carrots. Tea, especially green tea. Omega-3 fatty acids help keep the brain working properly, so eat foods such as fish and nuts to improve brain power and be more alert. In addition to caffeine, chocolate contains flavonoids that can improve your cognitive skills and make you feel more alert. Dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate have more flavonoids than milk chocolate. You don’t have to eat a king size candy bar to benefit from the chocolate, so don’t overdo it.

If you are working out at your local gym, ask an employee to help you locate a jump rope at the facility.

If you are not yet in a relationship with the person you love, try not to let on that you are interested in anything more than friendship at first. Treat the person like a friend and don’t flirt too much when you are first getting to know each other. If you come on too strong in the beginning, the person may feel pressured and avoid being around you. You may be tempted to spend every waking moment with your new love, but don’t. It is necessary for both of you to have space and to keep living your lives. If you fail to keep other commitments to spend time with your new love, you may end up damaging your other relationships and your new love may not find this behavior attractive. Research has shown that when people talk about themselves, they feel the same pleasure as when they eat or receive money. To get to know someone better and make them feel good in the process, ask questions about their life and interests. Try starting with normal questions such as, “where did you grow up?” and then progress to more interesting one’s like, “If you could be famous for something, what would you want it to be?” . Flirting can show someone that you are interested in them and it can also be a good way to propel a relationship forward. Make sure that you keep flirting with your new love even if you two are in a relationship. Simple things like a touch on the arm, a wink, or a cute comment can count as flirting. Some other flirtatious moves you might try include:  Eye gazing. A lingering gaze can let someone know that you are interested and it may also increase their affection for you.   Facing the person you like. Facing and mirroring the position of someone else’s body can show them you are interested.  Smile. Smiling will let someone know you are interested, but to all else it might just seem like you are being friendly. Sometimes love is just not meant to be.

If you are opening the restaurant with other people, take a little time to come up with ideas on your own. If you try to work in a group first, one idea may instantly seem like the solution, whereas if you take the time to come up with ideas individually,  you'll have a wider variety. One method of brainstorming alone is freewriting. Take out a sheet of paper. Write "Restaurant Names" at the top. Next, just start writing whatever comes to your mind. If you need a place to start, start writing about the type of food you'll serve, the atmosphere you want to create, and the things you associate with it.  Don't censor yourself while writing. Write whatever comes to your head. It doesn't need to be in complete sentences.  For instance, you could begin with something like "We want to serve fried chicken, southern classics with a twist... calm, comforting atmosphere... not your grandma's kitchen, but maybe your crazy Aunt Betty who never had kids. Farm lights. Southern charm. Sweet tea." Go through your list and pick out words that are particularly unique or sensual. Also, pick out words that seem to really represent what you're trying to do with your restaurant. Highlight them in the original text, and then write them on a new sheet of paper. Play around with them, and see if any of them fit together.  For instance, maybe "farm," "Crazy Aunt Betty," "southern," "comforting," and "with a twist" stick out to you. Write those down. Try combining them. For instance, you could have "Crazy Aunt Betty's Farm" or "Southern With a Twist," though "crazy" might have a negative connotation for some people. Once you've come up with individual ideas, try coming together. You can bounce ideas off one another to come up with a better solution as a group.  Gather everyone together. Make sure the space is comfortable and inviting. Invite some friends and family who haven't been in on the decision-making process from the beginning; diversity will help generate creativity.

If you are overwhelmed with stress and work, it can be hard to find time to reflect on yourself. It’s important to take care of yourself both emotionally and physically. By practicing self-care, you’ll find yourself more at peace with who you are.  Make a habit to exercise daily. You can do twenty minutes of cardio or just take a brisk walk. Get at least 7-9 hours of sleep a night.  Eat a healthy diet, largely made up of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Find time every day to relax. You can meditate or do an activity that helps you unwind, like knitting, puzzles, or reading a book. Don't define yourself solely by your career or your advancement at work. While it is good to take pride in your work, try to carve out space for yourself outside of your job. Avoid bringing work home with you. Take some time each day to focus on other goals, hobbies, and interests.  Work is important, but you should also make your well-being a priority as well.  Set boundaries at work to make sure that work does not interfere with your other relationships. For example, don't answer non-urgent emails outside of work hours. Understanding your limits will make you happier in your relationships. Try to identify what types of interactions make you uncomfortable, stressed, or unhappy. Use these to create personal boundaries.  Ask yourself what types of situations make you feel uncomfortable. For example, do you dislike crowds? Are there certain jokes that unsettle you? Consider if there is anyone in your life who asks too much of you or makes you do things you don't want to. Identify which requests or demands you're unwilling to do. Setting goals will help you achieve what you want out of life. Try to come up with a few goals to help you reach your dreams in life. Aim for goals that will make you happy, not goals motivated by external desires, such as money or prestige.  For example, you might start a goal to write 500 words a day. You should do this because you love to write, not because you want to become a famous...

If you are planning on purchasing plane tickets, be sure to buy them well in advance to get the best fares. You should aim to purchase them roughly 6-8 weeks before you plan to leave.  Remember that kids under two years old can fly for free, but you will have to hold them in your lap for the entire flight.  Compare airfares on web sites like Kayak and Skyscanner. Comparing prices will ensure that you find the best deal at the best time. Southwest often has competitive prices, so you can check their web site for daily deals as well. Tuesday and Wednesday are generally the cheapest days to fly whereas Friday and Sunday are the most expensive.  Keep in mind airline limits on luggage; most airlines limit your luggage to two checked pieces of luggage and one carry on bag per person. Encourage your children to pack lightly; the last thing you want to worry about it cumbersome luggage. You should scout around and compare prices at different hotels. You can also find rental homes and condos on web sites like VRBO, HomeAway and AirBnB.  Consider various factors in your accommodation. Is it in a central location where you can walk to different things or will you need to rent a car or take a cab? Does it have a kitchen where you can prepare meals? Check the reviews for your accommodation on-line. Does the hotel appear to be clean and safe? You might also include booking a reservation at an all-inclusive resort. These places will generally provide all your meals and drinks in the price of your accommodation so you won't have to leave the resort. You may need to book other activities in advance, especially if they tend to sell out. Look into buying theater tickets, theme park passes, or tickets for sightseeing tours.  Get your kids' input into what they would like to do. If your kids have time to plan and think about how they would like to spend their time, they will generally feel more involved and cooperative with the vacation.

If you are planning to go to the concert with friends, decide who is going to drive in advance. If you need a ride, check out a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft to see if they are available in your area. Even if the concert will be inside, you will want to check on the weather to make sure that you will be comfortable while you are waiting in line to get into the concert. If you are driving or riding with a friend, find out what kind of parking is available. If you are going to an outdoor concert, see if you are permitted to bring any food/beverages into the venue with you. Plan out your sign design before you begin. Outline your design in pencil first and then go over it with marker. Decide whether you want to make a heartfelt sign or a funny one. Put necessary items (TICKETS, lip gloss, ID, cash, earplugs, comb or pocket brush, etc.) in your wallet or purse the night before the concert. If you plan to bring a purse and you don’t have a small purse or wrist clutch, you may want to invest in one because you will not want to be lugging around a large purse all night.

If you are putting an HDTV in an existing home theater cabinet, make sure you know the maximum size that will fit. Measure the TV enclosure diagonally, as this is how HDTVs are measured. For example, a 50" HDTV is 50" from corner to corner, but is less than that horizontally. As you get further away from the TV, the recommended size increases for best picture and viewing experience. While you will still be able to enjoy your TV from anywhere in the room, you can get the best experience by optimizing your screen placement and seating arrangements. When it comes to distance from the TV vs. size, THX recommends:  3.5–5 feet (1.1–1.5 m): 35" class 4–6 feet (1.2–1.8 m): 40" class 5–7.5 feet (1.5–2.3 m): 50" class 6–9 feet (1.8–2.7 m): 60" class Mounting larger TVs requires larger brackets, which can make the mounting more expensive. Wall-mounting TVs can be difficult, especially for larger models since you need to really ensure that the mount is securely fastened. While the "bigger is better" mentality may be a little outdated, one of the most common complaints from new TV buyers is that they should have purchased a bigger model. If you can afford it, consider bumping up to the next size class.

If you are quoting directly from a source, such as a book, article, or journal, always use one pair of quotations around the quote and capitalize the first letter of the direct quote. Do this if you are quoting a complete sentence. For example, you may write:  Pollen states in his book, “You can eat whatever you want as long as you make it yourself.” In Othello by William Shakespeare, Iago says in Act II, scene iii, “Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit and lost without deserving.” Whenever you use quotation marks around a full quote, place a comma or a colon before the first, or open, quotation mark. The comma or colon does not go in the quotation mark, just before it. This will let the reader know a quote is coming. For example:  Shakespeare notes in his diary, “I am the poor man’s playwright.” Pollen recommends, “Eat food. Mostly plants.” If you are quoting a source within a sentence, not at the end of a sentence, lowercase the first letter of the quote. You can do this if you are using a partial quote of a longer quote in a sentence. For example, you may write: Pollen advocates for taking responsibility for one’s food choices, for eating “whatever you want as long as you make it yourself,” a tall order for some. Commas, periods, exclamation marks, dashes, and question marks that appear in the quote should all go inside the quotation marks. For example:  Othello notes, “For she has eyes and she chose me.” Pollen asks the question, “Why don’t we get to know our food?” The last line of the poem “Sestina: Altaforte” by Ezra Pound states, “Hell blot black for always the thought ‘Peace’!” Familiar sayings should be demarcated with quotation marks. Cliches can also go in quotation marks. For example:  Everyone knows the saying, “What goes in must come out.” One is reminded of the familiar phrase, “It takes one to know one.” These are also known as scare quotes. Scare quotes are not used often. But they can be used to emphasize a word or phrase in a sentence in a mocking or...

If you are sick, even with a minor illness like a cold or flu, this burdens your immune system and makes it easier for you to develop complications. If you wake up the morning of your procedure with a fever, cough, drippy nose, or any other symptoms, notify your doctor immediately.   Wash your hands after you shake hands with people and before you eat. This will reduce the likelihood that you expose yourself to pathogens carried by others. Don't go near, hug, or shake hands with people who have the flu or a cold. Avoid being in small confined spaces with lots of people. These are excellent opportunities for pathogen exchange.

If you are someone who likes the look of clean lines, white towels may be for you. White towels call to mind the look and feel of a hotel or spa bathroom, and they’ll go perfectly with any bathroom or preexisting décor. Light-colored towels last longer and do not fade as obviously as darker colored towels do. If your bathroom is currently neutral, colored towels are the easiest way to add visual interest. And because there are so many shades available, you don't have to tie yourself down to just one color.  You can match your towels to your shower curtain for a cohesive look, or pick towels in a contrasting color. Create an ombre effect with your bathroom towels by buying different sized towels in various shades of the same color. Buy your largest towels in the darkest shade and lighten the shade as the size of your towels decrease. If your bathroom is already brightly colored, gravitate towards more neutral towel colors. Patterned towels show a great deal of color interest and are a great way to tie the different shades of your bathroom together. Look for tones that already exist in your bathroom and try to find a towel that infuses those color tones into the towel’s pattern.  Patterned towels work especially well in kids’ bathrooms and small powder rooms. If you have a tile floor, look to mirror the tile’s color in your patterned towels. If you already have a heavily patterned shower curtain, steer away from using additional patterns in your towels. Layering patterns within your towels is a cool and easy way to make your towel display look more textured. Start off with a basic white bath towel with a colored accent, like stripes. Add an accent hand towel and top the whole thing off with a monogrammed washcloth. Or, mix solid towels with ones that have a complementary pattern so the colors don’t clash.  Monograms are an easy and classy way to lend some sophistication to a bathroom. The more high quality your towels are, the more impressive your pattern mixing will look. Mix polka dots with stripes for a...

If you are starting a cleanse on Monday and you eat your dinner the night before on Sunday at 8:00 pm, you will not eat or drink anything other than water until 8:00 pm on Monday. After you complete your fast, you will be able to reintroduce a variety of foods into your diet. You will continue to eat these foods for the length of the cleanse.  Start by introducing fresh, uncooked fruits back into your diet. Fruits are generally easy on the digestive system and by starting with them first after the fast, you are less likely to experience any stomach discomfort. Examples of fruits that are good for cleansing include apples, pears, watermelon, mangoes, bananas, grapes, peaches, plums, coconut, and any berries. After you have introduced fruit, begin adding some fresh, uncooked vegetables to your diet. You can continue to eat fruits, but you may want to alternate between fruits and vegetables or eat a combination of the two. Examples of vegetables that have excellent cleansing properties include cucumbers, celery, red beets, cabbage, onions, avocados, and dark, leafy greens. Include leaves, stems, and roots of plants in your diet if possible.

If you are still unsure that a person doesn’t want to talk to you, remember that every person has off days. This can help you make the first step of following up with the person to determine if she was having an off day or really doesn’t want to talk to you. Give the person a few days between your conversation and when you next contact her. This can help her deal with possible problems she had or help her get over being upset with you. Get in contact with the person again via text, email, social media, or phone call. You could also stop by the person’s office or class. This can open the door to a new conversation and help you determine her position on talking with you.  Keep the message brief and friendly. Emphasize how much you enjoyed your last interaction. For example, write something like “I really had a nice time with you during our last chat. I hope things are well with you. Maybe you’d be interested in continuing our chat over coffee?” Avoid sending anything lengthy or multiple messages. The response you receive to this simple message will tell you a lot about the person’s position. Watch for the person’s response and how long it takes for them to read and respond to the message. This can help indicate if she doesn’t want to talk to you.  Notice when and how she responds. If it’s a quick “hello, sorry I can’t get together,” chances are she doesn’t want to talk to you. If the response is friendlier and more enthusiastic, she may have just been having a bad day the last time you met. Take a lack of response as a sign the person doesn’t want to speak to you. Avoid sending further follow up messages so that you don’t upset the person—which may in turn upset you. If someone’s unenthusiastic responses or lack of contact with you has led you to realize that they don’t want to talk to you, stay away from her. Not only can this upset her and you, but may have other repercussions such as gaining a bad reputation.  Avoid sending further messages, unfriend or unfollow them on social media. This can show that you...

If you are struggling to get a job in your desired field because you don't have enough work experience, you should volunteer in your field. This will help you get some real-life work experience and you will begin to develop some of the skills that will be important to future employers. For instance, if you would like to be a social worker, you could volunteer at a homeless shelter or become a Big Brother or Big Sister.

For example, apply to part-time jobs in retail, fast food, or even serving and bartending. This experience can be invaluable. Working a part-time job is a great way to get references, which a lot of employers look for when they're considering hiring someone.

If you are swatching a pressed powder such as eyeshadow or blush, you should press the pad of your finger lightly on the surface of the makeup and rub it in circles a few times. This will lift the product from the casing onto your finger.  Notice the consistency of the product. Sometimes fakes are creamier or softer than the genuine products. Don’t be fooled by this. If you are swatching lipstick or any other makeup that uses an applicator, rub the product directly onto the skin. For example, run the tip of a lipstick directly onto the surface of the skin to see how the color appears. If you do not want to use your fingers, you can also use a brush. Rub the brush on the product in order to coat the bristles with enough product to transfer it to your skin. Try a concealer or eyeshadow brush, which can be obtained at any beauty supply store. Once you have some of the product on your finger, gently swipe it along the inside of your arm, where the skin is soft and hairless. You can also do this on the back of your hand, whichever is easier for you. The goal is to see how the makeup appears on the skin. The counterfeit MAC products usually have less pigmentation than the genuine ones and will require you to go over the surface of your skin two or more times to be able to clearly see the color on the surface of the skin. Swatching it next to a similar or identical product should allow you to see the discrepancies between the two products.

If you are taking your gas somewhere for disposal, then you’ll need to transport it in an airtight container for safety. Most plastic or metal gasoline cans, especially the 5-gallon models, are designed for the safe, quick transport of gas. Funnel your old gas into these containers and seal them tightly before moving them. To keep your gas containers from tipping over while you are driving, set them inside a large plastic tub or bin. This will keep your car clean and will lessen the possibility of getting any gas on your skin as well. Wash out the bin with water when you’ve disposed of the containers. When you arrive at a disposal facility, they might need to take your containers along with the gas. This means that you’ll be out the cost of the containers, but you’ll save on a possible fine. Or, they may have a large tank that you can pour your gasoline into, allowing you to keep your cans.
