There are a variety of ways to maintain a lean physique. However, self-weighing on a regular basis is one of the most important.  Many studies have shown that getting on the scale at least once a week is important for weight maintenance long-term. Those who were more regular with weigh-ins had an easier time maintaining their weight and could maintain it long-term.  When you get on the scale each week, try to weigh yourself at the same time of day and in the same clothes. It'll give you a more accurate representation of any trends. Give yourself a weight range to stick to. It's not realistic to think you'll be the exact same weight every day or every week. It's normal to fluctuate up or down 3-5 pounds. Track your weight in a journal. If your weight goes up too high or too low, you'll know you need to make changes to your diet or exercise plan to correct those unwanted changes. Another way to maintain your physique and to keep yourself at your goal is to take regular measurements.  Common areas to measure and track are waist, hips, thighs, and arms. Keep these measurements in a journal and track them over time. Like regular weigh-ins, taking measurements on a regular basis can let you know if you're staying at a stable weight and level of muscle mass. You won't see many noticeable differences in measurements in just a few days or even a week. Give yourself about a month's time to notice any significant changes. If you're aiming to maintain or even continue to increase muscle mass or decrease body fat, you should see changes in those numbers. If you notice any unwanted to changes to these numbers, take a look at your diet and exercise and make changes to those areas if needed. Even when you're maintaining your goals, keeping a journal can be helpful for maintenance.  You can use your journal to keep notes of a variety of things. It's a good idea to track your food, average calorie intake, exercise, and measurements. If you notice any changes in weight, measurements or overall fitness level, you can return to...

There are a wide variety of different emergency contraceptive pills that contain levonorgestrel (the hormone that can prevent pregnancy) available at pharmacies and drug stores. Some are available over-the-counter to anyone, regardless of age or gender, but others require a prescription in some cases.  There are one-pill and two-pill options available, both of which are equally effective. The one-pill option is available to anyone without a prescription, while the two-pill option requires a prescription for patients under 17 and requires a photo ID. If you need a prescription, visit your doctor's office, a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center, or a women's health clinic as soon as possible to get one. Although it may be uncomfortable, consider talking to your parents and getting their help. If you do not need a prescription, simply visit your local pharmacy to purchase emergency contraception (also called "the morning after pill"). Go as soon as you can after unprotected sex. While the morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sex, it is more effective the sooner you take it.  Some stores keep the pills in locked boxes or behind the counter, so you may have to ask an employee for help. It's a good idea to call your local pharmacy to find out if they stock emergency contraceptives, as not all of them do. Depending on what brand of pill you buy and where you buy it, you should expect to spend between $35 and $50 at a drug store. If you cannot afford this, you may be able to get the same pill for cheaper at a health clinic like Planned Parenthood. Your insurance may cover this form of emergency contraceptives, but probably only if you have a prescription from your doctor. Over-the-counter pills are available under many different brand names, some of which are one-step pills and some of which are two-step pills. While they are all equally effective, it is important to read the instructions carefully to understand when you should take each pill.  If you use a one-step pill, you should take...

There are all kinds of different relationships, and it's your job to make sure you're both on the same page when you're starting a new one. If you're dating someone and you want it to be exclusive, don't automatically assume that the other person will feel the same way. Make your desires for the relationship clear and respect her desires for it as well.  What do you want out of a relationship? If you want someone to spend time with that you feel an emotional connection to a few times a week, what's the big deal? If you want a committed and serious relationship, let her know in the early stages. If you don't like what you hear, don't try to change her, or yourself. Just end the relationship. There are lots of people to date. Don't get stuck on someone you're incompatible with. The most important part of any relationship is communication. If you're suspicious that a girl you're seeing might be inclined to cheat on you, talk to her about monogamy. Talk to her about being in a committed relationship. Tell her that you feel like you're not as close as you'd like to be.  If you're unsure how to bring up the subject, just say something simple like, "Where do you see this relationship going?" If you get a vague answer, push for a specific one. If she says she wants to be exclusive, but behaves in a way counter to it, then talk to her about it. If you don't like what she has to say in return, or she doesn't follow up with what she says she'll do, then end the relationship. You're not powerless in this situation. You can't buy love. If a girl you're seeing makes her presence conditional on you buying things or you furnishing expensive or lavish lifestyle gifts upon her, then you're in a bad situation. If you suspect a girl you're seeing might be playing you for what's in your pocketbook, refrain from opening it up when you're out. See what happens.  If she stops calling you altogether, consider yourself lucky. You just freed yourself of someone who only loved you for your money. If your relationship improves, then...

There are all types of smiles - wide, toothy grins that show all of your teeth, more subtle smiles that put just the top row of teeth on display, mostly closed-mouth smiles that reveal just a glimmer of white, and completely closed smiles that show no teeth at all. By choosing how wide to open your mouth, you can control how the world sees your teeth.  Practice different degrees of openness to see which smile looks best on you. It's your smile, and there are no rules about how it should look! That said, try to get comfortable revealing at least a glimpse of your teeth when you smile, because it's very hard to keep your mouth closed when you smile out of happiness. Aim to smile in a way that helps you look your best while also creating a natural-looking expression of cheer. Keep in mind that a smile is often the first impression we have of other people. Think about meeting someone for the first time: what would impression would you get if they seemed to be making an effort to keep their mouth closed instead of breaking into a full smile? It's better to reveal some teeth and have your smile look natural than to close your mouth and look as though you are hiding something. Projecting confidence is more important than projecting perfection, so open up! Perhaps you've heard of smizing - the act of smiling with your eyes, not just your mouth. Engaging your eyes as part of your smile automatically helps it read as more authentic and pleasant. For those who are worried about how their teeth look, smiling with the eyes can draw attention to the top of the face and away from the mouth. Smiling with your eyes - also called a Duchenne smile - enables you to have a bright, happy smile without needing to open your mouth wide.  Try it in the mirror. First, smile without using your eyes. Do you see the jack-o-lantern effect? The smile doesn't look happy, it looks . . . a little scary and fake. Now try smiling with your whole face, especially your eyes. This type of smile looks like a true expression of happiness. Practice...

There are an abundance of skin lightening creams available over-the-counter. They all work by reducing melanin (the pigment which causes tanning and sun spots) in the skin.  Look for products containing effective skin-lightening ingredients such as  kojic acid, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C or arbutin. These products tend to be pretty safe to use, but be sure to follow the directions on the packaging and to stop immediately if your skin has a bad reaction. Never use a skin lightening cream which contains mercury as the active ingredient. Mercury-based skin creams are banned in the US, but are still available in other parts of the world. Retinoid creams are made from an acidic form of Vitamin A and can effectively lighten skin through exfoliating the skin and speeding up cell turnover.  Not only do retinoid creams lighten skin and clear discoloration, they are also highly effective at smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, plumping up the skin and making it look brighter and younger. In higher concentrations, it can also help to clear acne. Retinoid creams can cause dryness, redness and flakiness at first, but these symptoms should subside once your skin gets used to the product. Retinoids also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so you should only apply them at night and be sure to wear sunscreen during the day. Retinoids are only available with a prescription, so you should make an appointment with your dermatologist if you are interested in pursuing this treatment. However, a less potent version of retinoid cream, known as retinol, is available in many over-the-counter beauty products. Chemical peels can be very effective at lightening the skin. They work by burning away the top layers of skin which are highly pigmented or discolored, revealing the fresher, lighter-colored skin underneath.  With a chemical peel, an acidic substance (such as alpha hydroxy acid) is applied to the skin and left to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. The peel may cause a tingling, stinging or burning sensation on...

There are are a variety of reasons for  not  becoming friends with an ex-boyfriend. He may still have his heart set on you - in this case, hanging out with him as a mere friend is cruel. The opposite may be true - if you're still into him, you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment. Finally, your breakup may have been because of something so serious that it's impossible to look at each other without resentment. If either of you has been deeply hurt, give each other a wide berth. Even if he's calm, emotionally stable, and your history doesn't contain any gaping wounds, you simply might not want to see your ex again. This is  fine.  Exes don't necessarily have to be friends. Even the cleanest breakups can be the cause of hard feelings for both parties. Immediately after a breakup, there's a chance he'll be sad or angry. This is no time to approach him as a friend. Wait for his emotional waters to settle before proceeding.  Similarly, listen to your own heart. If you've still got lingering anger or you're a little depressed, give yourself some time to settle before you make contact.  The length of time you spend apart from each other after a breakup will likely depend on the circumstances of the breakup itself. "Messier" breakups can require months or even years before your feelings have calmed to the point where a normal, friendly relationship is possible. The period after a breakup is a great opportunity for reflection and self-improvement. After you've given your emotions some time to normalize, spend the time you previously spent with your boyfriend on yourself instead. Devote yourself to your hobbies or schoolwork. Spend time learning a new skill. Do things you like to do, alone or with friends. By improving yourself, you're also restoring your self-confidence and your sense of self-reliance, which will make it much easier to start new friendships (and, coincidentally, romances.) After a few weeks of self-improvement, you may find that you don't even think about your ex anymore! This will make it much...

TL;DR in Russian:

Осознайте, что не все бывшие могут стать друзьями. Дайте ему время. Работайте над собой. Установите контакт.


There are different reasons to massage your dog (e.g, calm his nerves, warm him up for physical activity, relieve joint stiffness), each of which involves a slightly different massage technique. On most days, though, a basic massage will suffice for your dog. To set up a routine, come up with a word or phrase (e.g, ‘rubdown,’ ‘It’s massage time!’) to let your dog know it’s massage time. Pick a time of day for the massage. It is best to wait until your dog has gone to the bathroom, and at least 15 minutes after he has eaten. The massage area should be quiet and distraction free. Play some soothing music, such as nature sounds or soft classical music.  Set up an area for your dog. The surface on which he will lay should be flat (no pillows or cushions), firm, and soft. A layer or two of comfortable blankets on the floor would work well. Prepare the massage area so you can sit comfortably to massage your dog. Have your dog lie down comfortably on his side. With your palm facing down, use broad, light strokes to touch your dog from the back of his head to the tip of his tail. This will probably feel like normal petting to him, and will help get him ready for the massage. There is no set amount of time for you to do this. Move forward with the massage when your dog looks calm and settled. Starting at your dog’s shoulders and working back to the base of his tail, massage the muscles alongside his spine—do not place direct pressure on his spine. First, use your fingers to make small circles (clockwise, then counterclockwise) down his back.  Next, use your thumbs to apply gentle, vertical pressure down his back.  As you massage along the spine, gently lift up small sections of your dog’s skin and slowly knead it between your fingers.  Throughout the massage, pay attention to your dog’s body language. If he is not enjoying the massage and wants you to stop, he will use such body language as  tensing, holding his breath, growling, and flinching. The sacrum is at the very end of your dog’s spine between the hips. With...

There are different types of therapists, each of whom offers different skills or specialties. These include counseling psychologists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. You can see one or a combination of different ones.   Counseling psychologists: Counseling psychology is a field of therapy that focuses on helping skills and helping people overcome difficult times in their lives. This type of therapy can be short or long-term and is often problem-specific and goal-directed.   Licensed professional counselor or licensed social worker: These types of mental health providers are often much easier to find and schedule counseling sessions with than psychologists. Ask your doctor for a referral or find one in your area by searching online.  Clinical psychologists: These are trained to administer tests to confirm a diagnosis and therefore, they tend to focus more on psychopathology, or the study of behavioral or mental disorders.   Psychiatrists: These may use psychotherapy and scales or tests in their practice, but are typically consulted when medication is an option the patient wants to explore. In most states, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication, although some states now allow psychologists to prescribe medication. For help finding a counselor, consider recommendations from friends or family, leaders in your religious community, community mental health center, your Employee Assistance Program (if your employer offers one), or your doctor. Other professional associations like the American Psychological Association may provide search functions for locating their members in your area. Find someone who makes you feel welcome and at ease. A bad counseling experience can put you off the whole idea for years, which could deprive you of valuable therapy. Remember that not all mental health professionals are alike; find one you like and stick with them. Therapists will generally prompt you to speak with careful questions, and then listen to what you have to say. It can be nerve-wracking at first to open up...

There are five different stages of grief that people go through following this kind of loss. Memorize these steps so that you can figure out where your friend is at in the process and try to help with each specific step. Remember that people are different and some do not go through the stages in order and can revisit past stages before reaching acceptance.  Denial is first. Denial of the reality of the loss is a normal reaction. It may seem like he or she doesn't realize the death of her sibling. It may not have set in yet. Anger comes next. Once the reality of the loss does set in, it's normal to experience anger over the loss. He or she may be angry at the sibling, at herself, or at someone else. Bargaining is third. This shows up as a desire to change the situation, such as wishing that he or she had done something differently. Depression is the fourth step. This is the stage where people mourn the loss and bid the person farewell. It's an essential step in the process of grieving. Acceptance is the final stage. After all of the stages of resistance to loss, acceptance is the stage where people finally come to terms. It's not happiness, but it is calm compared to the stages before it. The grief of losing a loved one is bad enough, but losing a sibling often creates specific painful responses. For example, someone may feel bad about how he or she treated her sibling in the past. A person may feel "survivor's guilt" over being left alive. When talking to your friend or loved one and doing things for him or her, be aware of these difficult issues associated with the loss of a sibling. If you notice that he or she is feeling these things, try to reassure him or her that it was not his or her fault. Grief does not always have a timeline and time does not necessarily heal all wounds. You can expect him or her to get better as time passes, but they may never make a full recovery. People respond differently to loss. Avoid pushing someone to move on. Allow the person to grieve and recover at his or her own pace. If...

There are four different types of venomous snakes in the United States: cottonmouths, rattlesnakes, copperheads and coral snakes.   Cottonmouths. The cottonmouths have elliptical pupils and range in color from black to green. They have a white stripe along the side of their heads. They are often found in or around water, but have also adapted to live well on land. Young snakes have a bright yellow tail. They are often loners, so if you see multiple snakes coexisting peacefully, it is probably not a cottonmouth.      Rattlesnakes. Look for the rattle on the tail. Some harmless snakes imitate the rattle by brushing their tails through leaves, but only rattle snakes have the button-like rattle at the end of the tail. If you can't see the rattle, they also have a heavy triangular head and elliptical eyes like a cat's.      Copperheads. These beauties have a similar body shape to cottonmouths but are much brighter, ranging from coppery brown to bright orange, silver-pink and peach. The young have yellow tails as well.      Coral snakes. Another beautiful but deadly snake is the Coral snake—so beautiful that other snakes—not-venomous ones such as the Milk snake—look just like them. They have distinctive coloring, though, with a black, yellow and red bands, a yellow head, and a black band over their nose. One rhyme to help distinguish coral snakes from king snakes is 'Red to yellow, kill a fellow. Red to black, friend of Jack.' Another variation is 'Red on black, venom lack; red on yellow, deadly fellow'. However, most of the time coral snakes will not bite - they are very shy. There are no known deaths from the Arizona coral snake and only a few from the Eastern Coral snake.    Venomous Snakes in the U.S. tend to have varying colors. Most snakes that are one solid color are completely harmless. However, cottonmouths are also venomous so this is not a foolproof way to tell them apart. Also, beware of venomous escaped pets. Non-venomous snakes have a spoon-shaped rounded head and venomous snakes will have a more...

There are hundreds of varieties of bulbs to choose from, and most of them grow well in any region if you know how to care for them properly. You can buy them from your local nursery or order some from a catalog. Crocuses are usually white or purple. Daffodils are typically yellow with a trumpet-like shape and sometimes have an orange starburst in the middle. Both are drought-resistant and bloom early, heralding the arrival of spring for your garden. These low-maintenance flowers come in pink, purple or blue varieties, and have a clutch of round petals surrounding a central spike. You can't go wrong with these long-lived bell-shaped flowers. They come in an endless variety of colors, so you can choose shades that complement your other flowers or your backyard decor. Plant dahlias in the spring. With a rich range of colors and sizes, dahlias bloom beautifully in the summer and fall. Their spiky spray of petals make an angular, arresting addition to any garden. These tall, beautiful flowers come in many colors and will naturalize easily, multiplying rapidly each year. The plant combines three upright petals with three drooping ones for a unique, colorful flower. Hardy bulbs are more common and need cold winter temperatures to thrive, so they are planted in the fall before the ground gets too hard. They’ll survive in the ground through the winter and will bloom again the following spring. Examples include crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips. Tender bulbs will also flower year after year but will stop growing at the first frost. In a cold climate, you can dig up your tender bulbs in the fall and store them through the winter, replanting them the following spring. Tender bulbs include dahlias as well as less common bulb varieties.

There are loads of studies that show that smiling can be a great way to feel more positive and happier about yourself and your life. Smiling in front of a mirror can really help towards building the self-confidence you desire.  Each morning before you go out into the world, take the time to do the mirror technique. Stand in front of the mirror with a straight posture and your shoulders pulled back. Take a deep breath. Smile at yourself. Notice characteristics about yourself that you admire. Do you love your eyes? You new lipstick color? Your trendy hairstyle? Be prepared. There are always gonna be people who put you down because of you skin color. Remember, what they make fun of most of the time is just stereotypes. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You're a fun, unique person. Don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. Mantras are statements that we repeat in our heads over and over again throughout the day. If the statement playing on a loop in your head is negative, you will feel bad about yourself or lack confidence in your abilities. Positive statements empower you to become the person you long to be.  You can say your mantra in front of the mirror or you can actively think the phrase as you meditate or go through your morning activities like making your bed and brushing your teeth. Restating the positive will eventually allow it to manifest in your life. You can also use your mantra in times of great stress or when you are doubting yourself. Examples of mantras can be quotes or lyrics from songs that reflect your core beliefs, or they can be simple declarations such as "I am enough." or “I am not who I’m going to be. I am always becoming." If you lack self-confidence, you need to take a moment and think about your strengths. Sit down and create a list. This reminds you of all the things you have to be proud of and can slowly make you more confident over time. Sometimes, we focus so much on what we are not that we overlook what we are.  These traits can be physical, academic, or work-related. For instance, you...

There are lots of free calibration images available online. A calibration image will help serve as a reference point as you adjust your monitor's settings. Most monitors have an onscreen menu that you can use to adjust the color, brightness, and contrast. If you do not have an onscreen monitor, you may have specific buttons for these functions. Monitor calibration images will usually have blocks of bright color. Use these to find a color temperature that seems natural and allows you to distinctly see all of the shades. 6500K is the standard for monitors, though some calibration images will ask you to turn it up to 9300K. Not all monitors will allow you to set a temperature value. Use the brightness and contrast controls to adjust how well you can see the dark boxes on the calibration image. You typically want to be able to distinguish the later boxes, but the first few boxes should be indistinguishable. This will ensure that black and dark scenes in movies and games look good. Sometimes the screen won't fit exactly right in the confines of your monitor, and you may notice that your mouse goes off the screen a little, or there may be noticeable black bars around the edge. You can adjust this from your monitor menu. You can shift the screen horizontally and vertically, and you can stretch and squish it. use these controls to make the screen fit your monitor perfectly.

To give yourself more cred -- and just because you may also find it interesting -- venture into other related realms. Think of reading up on dream interpretation, tarot cards, astrology, and telepathy and telekinesis, just to name a few. Might as well make yourself well-rounded! Consider learning new skills, too. Look into hypnosis,palm reading, and other people-reading skills. Then when you're being your mentalist self, you could always truthfully say, "I could hypnotize you, but I shouldn't have to do that." It's a muscle, really. If you don't use it, you'll lose it. So start playing chess, doing Sudoku, and solving riddles. Do crossword puzzles. Spend your free time reading and doing DIY projects. Paint (that's a good one for noticing details). Take an acting class (also good for detail and emotion). All of these are things that can help you increase your mental power. Use the Internet! Visit sites like Lumosity, Khan Academy, Coursera, and Memrise and make sure you train your mind regularly. Deductive reasoning and critical thinking are two skills that aren't necessarily used while being a mentalist, but they get the skills you do use going a lot faster! Sherlock may be able to notice that lack of a wedding ring, but if it takes him a day and a half to put it together, Watson's dead by then. So keep mentally agile and stay on top of your game. Whether you're looking to be a magician or a criminal profiler or a TV star, why not make a little moolah off of your mad observational skills and people-reading prowess? You'll hone your methods and learn even more tricks of the trade. If you haven't thought about it before, start! Get to reading How to Be a Magician, How to Be an FBI Profiler, How to...

Найдите работу, где вы сможете использовать ваши навыки.


There are many chemicals in hair dyes, but studies have not proved a direct link with birth defects. However, waiting until the second or third trimester will reduce exposure when the baby's vital organs are developing. To be even safer, consider highlights. Unlike a single-process color, dye isn't applied to the scalp, reducing the likelihood of the chemicals entering your system. Polish can contain trace amounts of chemicals, but they aren't absorbed through the skin around your nails and haven't been linked to pregnancy complications.    Be mindful that your skin is more sensitive during pregnancy. You'll also need to be propped up in your chair when getting a facial during the third trimester. Lying flat on your back can affect your circulation and balance. If you haven't had a bikini wax before, wait until after labor. The pain of the treatment may prompt contractions. Also, be aware that you may experience more skin irritation post wax during pregnancy. The effects of teeth-whitening procedures have not been fully studied and teeth are extra sensitive during pregnancy. Hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas and tanning beds can raise the body's core temperature and affect your balance.

TL;DR in Russian:

Если вы окрашиваете волосы и не хотите отказываться от этой процедуры во время беременности, постарайтесь запланировать визит к парикмахеру на второй или третий триместр беременности. Вы можете делать маникюр и педикюр регулярно. Вы можете делать процедуры по уходу за кожей в салоне красоты, но постарайтесь избежать таких травматичных процедур, как микродерабразия и кислотный пилинг. Если вы делаете восковую эпиляцию бикини, запланируйте процедуры на первый и второй триместры беременности. Во время беременности противопоказаны такие процедуры, как отбеливание зубов, а также вам лучше воздержаться от посещения солярия, бани, сауны и не принимать горячие ванны.


There are many different fields of photography you can go into, so decide which one you’re interested in based on the pictures you enjoy taking. Then include any relevant experience you’ve had in that field. For example, experience as a stylist or designer is relevant if you want to be a fashion photographer. If you’ve led hiking tours or controlled the social media account at a national park, include that in a nature photographer resume. List your most recent experience first and proceed down to your earliest experience. Title this section “Work Experience.” If you’ve been working for many years, only include the last five or six years’ worth of jobs. Include a two or three brief bullet points below, describing your responsibilities at the job. Include the name of the company you worked for, the name of your position, and the dates you worked there. Make your title stand out, such as with italics or bold letters, and align the dates against the right-hand margin. If you’ve taught photography to children or adults, given lectures about your photography experience, or held a job as a professional photographer, list it here. It’s alright if the experience isn’t directly related to your desired field, as it shows employers that you’ve had at least some experience in the field. Include, in particular, technical skills and expertise. Many potential employers will be impressed to see that you’ve mastered computer editing, digital graphic design, or creating videos, all of which are relevant in the photography industry today. Also include whether you have technical or equipment-related experience, such as shooting with different cameras or lenses.  Title this section “Technical Skills.” Make a bullet point for each skill and give a short description. Keep it short and concise, and leave out unnecessary words. For example, “Skilled with iMovie and maintain personal YouTube channel for nature videos.”

TL;DR in Russian:

Составьте резюме с учетом желаемой должности. Перечислите свой опыт в обратном хронологическом порядке. Оформляйте все места работы в едином стиле. Укажите опыт работы, связанный с искусством или фотографией. Укажите навыки, которые будут полезными в желаемой сфере.


There are many different kinds of evil characters that you can play. Your character may be someone who started out good but was betrayed so badly that they became evil. On the other hand, they may be someone who is pure evil from the start. You’ll likely have an easier time acting evil if you understand exactly where it’s coming from.  Your evil character may be a sociopath or a psychopath. If that’s the case, it’s important to understand what that means. A sociopath typically has a weak conscience that may make them feel a little guilt after an evil act, but not enough to stop them from committing the act. A psychopath usually doesn’t have any conscience and feels no remorse for the evil acts they commit.  Sociopaths are typically a product of their environment and experiences, while psychopaths usually have their evil ingrained in them. No matter what type of character you play, it is essential to understand what motivates them. However, it’s especially important with an evil character if you want to make them convincing. Three-dimensional villains usually believe that their behavior is justified, and you must know what justification your character uses.  Determine what the motivation behind your character’s evil actions are, so you can make them believable. Some evil characters are motivated by the desire for power, while others are motivated by revenge. In some cases, it may simply be the misery of others that motivates a villain. If your evil character doesn’t feel human to the audience, you run the risk of creating a cartoon villain. Instead, try to find your character’s humanity even amidst all the evil. Think about what might make your character cry or laugh, or the soft spots that they might have that make them feel. In some cases, evil characters may only be able to feel for themselves, but that’s okay -- fear and self-pity are still emotions that can make a character seem human.

There are many different kinds of lower back pain. Identifying the precise location of your pain, as well as the type of pain you are experiencing (shooting, burning, sharp, etc.), can help you identify the source of your pain.   Spondylolisthesis can cause pain in the low back, buttocks, and legs.  If you have sharp pain that is isolated to one side of the lower back, it may be caused by kidney stones. Sciatica causes pain and tingling in the low back, and usually in one leg and/or foot. Lumbar disc disease often causes a shooting or tingling pain in the back.  Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain in many different areas of the body, including the lower back.  Muscular pain from muscle knots can also cause local pain, or pain that radiates into the buttocks or upper thighs. However, keep in mind that back pain can be a complicated disorder and there are times when the symptoms may not fit the condition. That’s why it is important to have a full evaluation by your healthcare provider who can diagnose your condition and identify the cause of your lower back pain. Different low back conditions may cause different positions or activities to be painful. Make note of when your pain began and what kinds of movements aggravate it, as well as what positions alleviate your pain.  If your pain increases with standing, bending backward, and twisting, but decreases with bending forward, the source is likely the facet joints in your spine.  If your pain started for no apparent reason and was accompanied by a popping sensation, you are likely suffering from sciatica.  If the pain gets worse when you sit down, you may have a herniated lumbar disc.  If your pain increases with walking but decreases if you bend forward or sit down, then your pain may be caused by a stenosis, which is when the open spaces in your spine become narrow.  Pain that comes and goes throughout the day may be caused by a problem with one of the internal organs, such as the kidney or pancreas. There are many different conditions that may cause numbness...

There are many different kits available, some which allow you to simply slot in a photograph, some which require you to sculpt your own clay figurines, and others which provide you with a water globe, base and other materials for making a professional-looking snow globe. Once you have your kit, follow the instructions on the packaging to put it together. Some will require you to paint the parts and glue the figurines to the base. Once the scene is set, you will usually need to glue the glass (or plastic) dome to the base and then fill the dome with water (and snow or glitter) from a hole in the base. You will then use the stopper provided to seal the snow globe.

There are many different methods of training dogs, but the effective ones all boil to three things: rewarding behaviors you like; not rewarding behaviors you don’t like; and staying consistent.  Rewarding – This is the easy and fun part. Rewards aren’t just for when you are actively training. If your goldie pees outside, you praise her. If she greets another dog in a friendly manner, tell her how great she is. Not rewarding negative behavior – This requires a little more vigilance. If your dog is doing something you don’t like, think about why: usually it is because she is rewarded somehow. You need to consistently remove that reward. For instance, if she jumps all over you in excitement when she sees her leash, you will not want to put it on and take her for a walk, as that rewards the behavior. Instead, turn away or look to the sky until she calms down. Then put the leash on and walk her. Be consistent – You and everyone else should respond the same way whatever your dog does. If you don’t feed her from the table, but your kid is busy offering your golden half his plate, you’re in trouble. Or if you tell your dog to get down when she jumps up sometimes and greet her enthusiastically others times, you are sending mixed messages that will confuse your dog. Whenever you are training your dog for a specific behavior, you will need to have a reward on hand. Pick something your goldie really loves; the better the reward, the easier it will be to teach your dog. If your dog loves to play, you can try using her favorite toy and playing with her when she barks. Most people, however, will find that treats are the most effective way to teach a dog. The best treats will be ones your dog loves, and which are also easy to carry, easy to break into pieces, and healthy. Use a variety of treats so your dog doesn’t get bored. Try:  String cheese sticks. Cooked chicken. Meat rolls (available at pet stores). Broken-up dog biscuits or store-bought training treats. Baby carrots or frozen green beans (for dogs on a diet). In...

There are many different types of business correspondence. Standard practice for a memo is to explicitly title the document as such.  For example, type “Memo” or “Memorandum” at the top of the page.  It's up to you as to whether you want to center or left-justify the title. A good rule of thumb is to examine the business memos you've received and copy the formatting. The first section of your memo should include four key pieces of information. We'll provide you with more detailed information about each component in later steps.  TO: provide the names and titles of everyone who will receive your memo. FROM: provide your complete name and title. DATE: provide the complete and accurate date—don't forget to include the year. SUBJECT: provide a brief, yet specific  description of what the memo is about. Note that it's also common practice to indicate the subject line with “Re:” or “RE:” (both of which are short for regarding). Make sure that you include everyone who needs to be informed or updated. Limit the distribution of your memo to just those who need to know.  It is poor business practice to send your memo office-wide if only a few are concerned or affected.  People will quickly become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of memos, and may be more prone to ignore them or not read them carefully. Even if you're on a friendly first-name basis with your boss, it's best to keep your written correspondence more formal. For example, you may call her “Sue” when you meet in the hall, but for the purposes of your memo, address her as “Ms. Wells” or “Dr. Wells”. Keep this in mind when you're filling out the information for everyone on the recipient list: include full names and business titles. If you are  sending a memo to someone outside of your office, it's also important to determine the proper form of address. Take the time to research their profile; their information is probably outlined on their company's website.  For example, do they have a PhD? If so, it's generally a good idea to refer to them as Dr. So-and-So....

TL;DR in Russian:

Озаглавьте записку. Напишите заголовок вашей записки. В списке получателей записки обязательно укажите всех людей, которым вы собираетесь ее отправить. В списке получателей записки указывайте полные имена и должности. Если вы отправляете записку человеку из другой компании, очень важно определить правильную форму обращения к нему. Продумайте тему вашей записки. В служебных записках, как правило, приветствия не пишутся. Напишите вводный раздел записки. Вводный раздел должен быть кратким. Определитесь со стилем изложения основной информации. Служебную записку необходимо разделить на разделы (параграфы), чтобы ее читатели могли с легкостью усваивать информацию; кроме того, разделы помогут им определить важные моменты в записке. Озаглавьте каждый раздел; название параграфа должно четко указывать на содержащуюся в нем информацию. Первое предложение каждого раздела должно рассказывать читателям, о чем пойдет речь в данном параграфе. Для выделения важных моментов создайте их перечень или список. Размер служебной записки не должен превышать 1-2 страниц. Подумайте о включении абзаца, резюмирующего изложенную информацию. Обязательно включите абзац-заключение, даже если вам кажется, что он не нужен. Если хотите, в конце записки поставьте ваше имя или подпись (но делать это не обязательно). Сделайте напоминание о каких-либо приложениях, если к записке прилагаются таблицы, графики или отчеты. Перед отправкой записки не забудьте проверить ее.


There are many different types of gardens, and they all provide a different type of pleasure. Think about why you want to start a garden when you're deciding what to plant. What type of garden will suit your yard, meet your needs, and bring you the most pleasure?    Vegetable gardens are a practical choice for people who want to be able to eat what they grow. Growing your own vegetables saves a lot of money, and home-grown vegetables are highly nutritious. That said, vegetable gardens require more preparation up front, and they need consistent, ongoing care to ensure they produce a crop.  If adding beauty to your home is your primary goal, you may want to  grow a flower garden.  Choose flowers with different shapes, colors, and textures to create a gorgeous new feature. Plant greenery among them so the garden stays pretty after the blooms have gone for the summer. Flowers do not require strict soil conditions like vegetables do, and they don't take quite as much ongoing care. If you don't have a lot of space, you can still grow a wonderful garden. Consider  growing herbs, which can look beautiful. If you enjoy cooking from scratch, an herb garden can give you access to fresh herbs in your backyard.  When you have specific ideas about the type of garden you want to grow, determine which varieties of those plants will grow in your particular growing region. Some varieties of the same plant will grow better in certain climates, regions, and soil types than other varieties. Choose an area of your yard or property with conditions that meet the needs of the plants you want to grow. Many vegetables, for example, need full sun for most of the day. Flowers, on the other hand, often require partial shade to thrive. If your yard has both shade and sun, you can have plants that need both types of conditions. Aside from sun, take the following into account:  Choose an area with good drainage. If you see a puddle of standing water after it rains, the soil there probably has clay or rocks that are preventing the water from...

There are many different types of scarves that can be worn many different ways. Add a colorful or patterned scarf that compliments your school uniform.  Wear a scarf around your neck or as a shawl for added style and warmth during cool months. Tie a small scarf in your hair around a ponytail or as a headband. If you are wearing a skirt or shorts, you can change your socks or tights for a change in uniform. Pair colorful, knee high socks with dress shoes. Wear solid or eye catching, patterned tights to compliment your uniform. Change up your school uniform by adding a belt. Buy a variety of colors to compliment different uniform combinations. Match your shoes with your belt to appear very stylish.

There are many different types of study guides, each formatted to suit different subject types and learning styles. Whatever you're reviewing for, there's a study guide not only right for the subject but for your particular needs in learning that subject. Organize the information into the most user-friendly study guide you can.   If you're a visual learner, consider using color-coded sections in your study guides or using idea mapping to draw out the information and make it more quickly-accessible.   If you've got a linear mind, organize the information chronologically, or alphabetically, so you can make learn one thing in a series, and then move on to the next.   If you need to connect to information emotionally to understand it, organize your notes into narrative form to study it better. Translate concepts from math into a story that you can connect to, then organize your study-guide like a short-story you can recite to remember the application of the formulas.  If you can memorize information quickly, use a format that will help you memorize efficiently, whether it be recording yourself reciting vocab words and definitions, then listening back on your iPod throughout the day, or by creating flash cards and testing yourself regularly. Concept maps involve writing each main idea into a separate box, which is connected according to their chronology or importance. Then, connect branches of associated information stemming from the main ideas. This study guide method provides a good visual of how subject material fits together to make a whole concept.  An example of a concept map for a history chapter on space flight might involve "The Space Race" as the main heading, which would branch off into separate categories for The United States and the Soviet Union, with trailing data about specific missions, projects, successes, and failures. A formal outline, as you're sometimes expected to write for an essay assignment, is an example of a concept map. If outlining works for you and organizes information in a way you...

There are many different types of vinegars. To remove the smell of sulfur, you're going to want plain white vinegar. White vinegar is a commonly used home remedy for cleaning and getting rid of strong odors. It is generally inexpensive and available at any grocery or convenience store. Add 1-2 cups of vinegar to plain water in a bucket or tub. Add your sulfur smelling clothing to the vinegar mixture and soak your clothes for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Never let your clothing soak in vinegar for more than a few hours. Adding a 1/2 cup of white vinegar to your detergent when you wash your clothes will help get rid of any odors that tend to stick to the clothes. This includes the strong smell of sulfur.  Wash your clothing in the water temperature indicated on the tag. This will stop your clothes from fading or shrinking. If your tag indicates that the clothing is dry-clean only, take it to a cleaner instead of washing it yourself. Vinegar also works well as a fabric softener. To remove the vinegar smell completely, wash your clothing again using regular detergent. Vinegar has a strong smell of its own, especially if you've soaked your clothing in it. It might be necessary to wash the clothing again to get the vinegar smell out.  Hang your clothing indoors or outdoors to dry. Repeat the process if it still smells of sulfur when it's dry. Do not dry your clothing in the dryer until you're sure the sulfur smell is gone.

TL;DR in Russian:

There are many different types of willow trees and not all of them have high levels of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is the active pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory component that is used to make aspirin. The types of willow trees with the highest levels of salicylic acid include:   Salix alba (White or European Willow)  Salix purpurea (Purple Willow)  Salix nigra  (Black or Pussy Willow)  Salix fragilis (Crack Willow) Your best bet is to find a white willow tree. White willow trees grow throughout much of the US, Europe and Asia and they are common in forested areas. Features of a white willow tree include:  A rough grayish bark Irregular “furrows” Smaller branches and twigs that are slender, golden brown and flexible Leaves that are long and slender (2–4 inches long) with a fine serration at the edges Tops of the leaves are shiny and green, while the undersides of the leaves are white and silky Leaves alternate instead of being opposite one another All willow trees all contain some amount of salicylic acid in the bark, so it is okay to use a different type of willow tree. For example, if you are by a river, then you can use a river weeping willow. When in doubt check the leaves to see if they share the features of white willow leaves. Willow tree leaves are distinctive, so checking the leaves may be the best way to identify the tree as a willow. Once you find a willow tree, try to find some loose bark and pull it off. As you pull off the bark, make sure that you are getting the papery material that underlies the bark. It is a good idea to strip the bark from younger branches rather than the trunk. The bark from the trunk is harder to remove and it is also tougher to break up for boiling.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите виды ивы, которые содержат салициловую кислоту. В первую очередь ищите белую иву. Имейте ввиду, что вам подойдет любой вид ивы. Снимите немного ивовой коры.


There are many different ways of communicating, and there are no absolute right or wrong methods. However, some methods can be more productive than others for some people, and it may take some experimentation to find a style of communication that works best for both of you.  Try being expressive. Let your partner know how you feel, and ask her how she feels. Use task- or fact-oriented communication. Some people are more comfortable conveying facts instead of emotions, like saying, "I feel like I'm not making enough money at my job" instead of saying, "I'm sad and I'm worried about my finances." Be assertive. Assertive communication involves the clear and direct communication of your feelings, opinions, and needs, without infringing on the rights of your partner. Avoid passive communication. This communication style involves a failure to assert yourself or express your thoughts/feelings/needs, and can be very damaging to the relationship.  Minimize emotion before talking about important things. Take a few minutes to calm down before discussing anything significant so that your emotions do not direct the conversation, but make sure you do acknowledge the way you and your partner feel. Small talk is tremendously helpful in any relationship, and it helps build a day-to-day level of communication within your relationship. You can reminisce or laugh about shared experiences, talk about what you each did that day, ask about plans for the weekend, or simply share observations that you find interesting or funny.  Small talk about your day-to-day lives helps you and your girlfriend get closer and know each other more intimately. Ask your girlfriend to elaborate and give more details. Make sure that your follow-up questions convey a genuine interest in what your girlfriend says and does not come across as suspicious or distrustful. Many people with busy lives or different schedules find that the lines of communication get strained in a relationship. This can easily be remedied, though, if both partners make time for...

There are many diseases that can cause an enlarged heart. These include heart valve or heart muscle disease, arrhythmia, weakening of the heart muscle, fluid around your heart, high blood pressure, and pulmonary hypertension. You can also develop an enlarged heart after thyroid disease or chronic anemia. It can also be due to a build up of excess iron or abnormal proteins in your heart. Other situations have been associated with an enlarged heart. An enlarged heart can be caused by pregnancy, obesity, nutritional deficiencies, stressful life situations, certain infections, the ingestion of certain toxins such as drugs and alcohol, and taking some medications. There are certain individuals who are at risk for an enlarged heart. If you have high blood pressure, blocked arteries, congenital heart disease, valvular disease, or have had a heart attack. You are also at risk if your family has a history of enlarged hearts, since they tend to run in families. Your blood pressure must be above 140/90 for it to be considered high enough to be a risk factor for an enlarged heart. Although it is not a disease, there are symptoms that some people with an enlarged heart suffer. An irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, dizziness, and coughing are some of the symptoms of an enlarged heart. Your symptoms may also vary, depending on the underlying cause of your enlarged heart. You should see your doctor immediately if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting spells. There are multiple complications that can arise from an enlarged heart. You can be more susceptible to blood clots and cardiac arrest. You may also have persistent heart murmurers, which are due to friction during the flow of blood and disrupt the rhythm of your heart. If it is left untreated, an enlarged heart can also lead to sudden death. If you have an enlarged left ventricle, which is considered a severe case of an enlarged heart, you are at risk for heart failure. There are multiple ways that your doctor can diagnose your enlarged heart. The...

There are many essential oils that can help you get rid of your razor burn fast.  Lavender, chamomile, and calendula essential oils are useful for soothing razor burn.  Mix six to eight drops of any oil of your choice with a quarter cup of water.  Soak a cotton ball in the oil-water mixture.  Apply the cotton ball to your razor burn two to three times each day, or as needed. Tea tree oil contains antibacterial and antiseptic properties that can quickly relieve your razor burn.  Mix three drops of tea tree oil with one tablespoon of olive oil or four to five drops of tea tree oil to two tablespoons of water.     Massage the mixture gently into the affected area with the tips of your fingers and let it work on your skin for about ten to fifteen minutes.  Wash the oil off with lukewarm water.  Repeat twice a day or as needed. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a compound with healing, moisturizing, and antiseptic properties.  Pour a small amount of coconut oil on the razor-burned area and rub it over the skin.  Do not apply a heavy layer.  Repeat two to four times each day, or as needed.

There are many exercises you can do outside of ballet steps that will build up ankle strength to ensure you’re performing technical steps safely.  Play balance and catch: standing on one leg, throw a ball back and forth with a partner. The heavier the ball, the better the workout will be for your ankle. Have your partner throw it all around your center — above you, to your right and left, etc. — to further force your balance to shift. One-legged squats: Extend one leg in front of you, then do ten half squats. Swing the leg out to the side and do 10 more half squats. Swing the leg behind you, and do ten more half squats. (Adjust reps up or down based on comfort level.) A Theraband is an elastic resistance band that can be used for both strength and flexibility training. With the following exercise, do not do it because of the research of new scientists showing that it harms your toes with the resistance both forwards and backwards. Instead, try doing the same thing but with a small ball, or a yoga ball.  Sit straight-backed on the floor with legs extended in front of you. Loop the Theraband around the ball of your foot and pull backward to create tension. In a slow, controlled motion, point and flex your toes, making sure your feet do not sickle. Metatarsal doming exercises strengthen the small, intrinsic muscles in the foot that you don’t think about on a day-to-day basis, but which are very important for proper technique.  In a standing position, tighten your toes to provide a stable base for your foot. Pull your foot back, arching your instep as far as possible. Hold this position for a count of six seconds, then relax for ten seconds. Perform ten reps of this exercise on each foot. Although it’s safer than dancing en pointe, it’s actually more difficult to hold positions in demi-pointe. Practice dancing on demi-pointe to strengthen the muscle groups you’ll need to dance en pointe and work on your balance. Instructors will expect you to perform a specific set of steps when they make their decision about...

There are many forms of self-harm. Self-harm can vary from physically harming yourself (cutting) to placing yourself in risky or dangerous situations (driving under the influence of substances), or neglecting your own needs (not taking prescribed medication).  Self-harm can be with or without intent of suicide.  Additionally, self-harm might be a symptom of another issue such as depression, anxiety, or other psychological disorder. The act of self-harm has been found to be an addictive behavior. When you or someone you know self-harms, it releases the “feel-good” chemical in the brain called endorphins.,  It is hard to change the cycle of self-harm especially while trying to find an alternative that releases the same “feel good” chemical. It might take some trial and error to find the right solution or combination of solutions that work for you. The reason you or a loved one might self-harm varies depending on the person. Common reasons include gaining a sense of relief from intense feelings such as anger, guilt, anxiety, isolation, grief, or hopelessness. It can also be seen as an expression of those feelings. Other reasons include control over one's body especially when one feels out of control. Some people self-harm to feel something when feeling numb, and some reasons include a response to trauma or other issues like anxiety and depression. Identifying triggers is one of the first steps for healing yourself. If the underlying triggers and causes are not addressed, the need for coping will remain.

TL;DR in Russian:

There are many good reasons to use visual aids.  They can help make things easier to understand, they help audiences remember what you've said, they appeal to visual learners, and they can help an audience view you as more persuasive. Be sure you're clear on what you hope to accomplish with each visual you incorporate into your speech. While it's a great idea to use visual aids in your speech, be sure to choose ones that make sense.  For example, in the speech mentioned above in which the speaker wants the audience to learn the four things to look for when buying a diamond, it might would make sense to show a diagram of a diamond that illustrates where a jeweler makes cuts in preparing the gemstone. It would also be  helpful to show side-by-side photos of clear, white and yellow diamonds so the audience can recognize the differences in color.  On the other hand, it wouldn't be very helpful to show an exterior photo of a jewelry store. PowerPoint can be a great delivery device for visual aids.  You can use it to show photos, charts, and graphs with ease.  But there are common mistakes that speakers sometimes make when using PowerPoint.  These are easy to avoid once you stop and think about them.   Don't write everything you plan to say on your slides.  We've all suffered through speeches where the speaker did little more that read off of his or her slides.  That's boring for the audience, and they soon disengage.  Instead, use word charts to preview, review or highlight key information.  Remember, the sides should be a supplement to what you're going to say rather than an exact copy of it. Make your slides readable.  Use a font size that's easy for your audience to read and don't overcrowd your slides.  If your audience can't see or get through the material on your slides, they won't have served any purpose. Use animations sparingly.  Having graphics fly around, zoom in and out ,and change colors can be engaging but can also be distracting.  Be careful not to overdo the special effects.  Your slides should be...

There are many kinds of steam cleaners. They are typically divided by the kinds of materials that they can steam clean. The best steam cleaners for upholstery are upholstery steam cleaners, fabric steam cleaners, and handheld steam cleaners. The upholstery steam cleaner is made specifically for the job, fabric steam cleaners are made to clean fabric, and handheld cleaners are great for small, tight surfaces. The cleaners should either be handheld or have detachable wands or hoses. Pick which one you think will work better on your particular surface.  You want to avoid that large carpet steam cleaners. Those are too bulky and don't typically have fabric cleaning attachments. They will not work at all on your upholstery.  If you don't want to buy a steam cleaner of your own, you can rent one from many department, hardware, and grocery stores. To use a steam cleaner, you need to add water and cleaner to the machine. This will vary depending on the machine you have, so follow the directions based on the model that you have. Generally, you will remove a container from the steam cleaner and fill it with warm water and upholstery cleaner. Make sure you don't fill it too full. It can cause too much water and steam to be released on your fabrics, which will over saturate them. You will also need to add the correct attachment for upholstery. This may be a stationary brush, revolving brush, or a cloth, depending on the model you have. Avoid mixing too much soap into the water. It is much easier to wash an area a few times than it is to have to wash excess soap out of the fabric. If the piece of furniture that you are steam cleaning has removable pillows, such as a couch or chair, start cleaning them. Plug up the machine and turn it on. Take the handheld steam cleaner or the hose and attachment and spray the surface with the steam. There should be a button that releases the steam onto the fabric. This will wet the fabric once the steam hits it. Promptly drag the opening of the machine over the damp areas, sucking up the...

There are many legitimate survey companies out there, and money to be made. Which, of course, means that there will be unscrupulous people out there as well, looking to nab some dollars without working for it. Here's how to steer clear of scammers: Some companies will ask you to pay a small fee up-front for access to survey lists, which is absolutely unnecessary. Check Terms and Conditions, FAQs, or any other area on a survey company’s page containing information on how the company operates. (If such information is hard or impossible to locate, consider it a red flag and cross that site off your list.) There are tons of surveys on the internet that can be completed for cash (or points that you exchange for cash), but some only pay in gift cards or enter you into a sweepstakes.  Some sites offer a combination of these, which may or may not be to your benefit. Be sure you know exactly how you will be rewarded by checking a sites FAQs, Terms and Conditions, etc. Some companies offer prizes or products, or let you accrue points that you can trade in for such. Many of these won’t be as useful or valuable to you as cash, but occasionally you will get lucky. Just be sure to price-hunt any items before accepting them (or investing valuable energy into trying to earn them). Get fine-print savvy. Some websites will say you won an Xbox360 or a new laptop, for example, but if you look carefully, you’ll usually find an asterisk near the "you won" part. Be especially wary of weasel words, like "you may have already won," or "new laptop is based on a purchase of gummy bears worth $5,000 or more." Don't fall into these sorts of traps; they're ridiculously difficult and not worth it. It is usually found at the bottom of a site’s homepage. This is important: who will your information be shared with? Always look for a statement along the lines of: “Email addresses given to our company will never be sold, given away, or shared with any third parties without your consent.” When you read those, think to yourself if there's...

There are many online sources and several books that claim that switching to a more balanced and healthy diet can lead to improved fertility. Though it is always beneficial to eat a healthy diet, it should not replace other fertility treatments and options. However, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle may reduce a woman's risk of irregular ovulation and could improve her chances of getting pregnant. During the scientific study of fertility diets, the trials were focused on a specific condition found in infertile women: ovulatory dysfunction, or irregular ovulation. Women who have ovulatory dysfunction may benefit from adjustments to their diet if they want to try to get pregnant. For example, one study done by the Nurses’ Health Study tested over 18,000 women who were trying to get pregnant over an eight-year period. Only about 400 of these women were diagnosed with infertility related to irregular ovulation. Thus, the study linking nutrition and fertility was in fact only based on a very small number of women in the test group and may not be applicable to women who do not have irregular ovulation. Before you try a fertility diet, speak to your physician about other medical options to treat fertility issues or infertility. There are several certified medical procedures to help you get pregnant, as well as other options to help improve your chances of getting pregnant. You may be a good candidate for fertility drugs that will help regulate your ovulation. Your doctor may also suggest in vitro fertilization, intrauterine insemination, embryo testing, or reproductive immunology.

There are many options for gluten-free flour. The key to picking the right flour is knowing how you want the final product to come out. Each type of flour has unique flavors and properties. Since gluten-free flour is lower in protein than wheat flour, it’s actually a good thing for cupcakes because too much protein creates a tough cupcake. Also, look for a fine texture flour to help give your cupcakes the best structure and consistency.  Try gluten-free multi-purpose flour for a mild flavor and to cut down on the amount of ingredients needed for your cupcakes. The multi-purpose flour has gluten-free flour and starches already added to it to mimic the effects of gluten. This is good flour for beginners to gluten-free baking because it’s easy to use. Use amaranth flour if you are looking for a very nutritious option. This flour is an ancient grain, high in fiber and binds water well. You may need more water when using amaranth flour to get the best batter consistency. It has mild corn flavor and will work best in a flour blend. Try sorghum flour or tapioca flour for a mild flavor and a texture similar to wheat flour. These flours work well in gluten-free baking and can be used for most baked goods. Try rice flour for good batter consistency and final texture. Rice flour contains the bran, the starch and the hulls, all of which help create a creamy, stable batter good for cupcakes. Try cassava flour for a one to one switch with wheat flour. Cassava flour properties and flavor are very similar to cake flour. With cassava flour, you may be able to take a regular cupcake recipe and just switch the flours. The biggest issue with using cassava flour is finding a place to purchase it. You will have the best luck ordering the flour online. Food gums are carbohydrates, considered dietary fiber and are not digested or absorbed by the body. They come from natural plant sources and are used to help with water binding, air cell structure and mouth-feel of a product. They come from the class of foods called hydrocolloids....

There are many outlets available for selling vintage clothing online. Before you begin to sell, research your options and decide what works for you.  You can sell vintage clothes on many mainstream websites. Auction sites like eBay can be helpful. You can set a base price and let potential buyers bid. You could end up making a good sum if two buyers want the same outfit. Sites like Etsy can also work, although bidding is infrequent. You can also look into specialty sites. These are auction sites and websites specifically designed for the sale of vintage clothing. Such websites can be helpful as you'll be reaching your target marketplace instantly. Once you've decided where you'll be selling, create an account on your chosen website. This should not take long.  Usually, you need to provide basic contact information like your name and address. You may also have to create a brief profile where you explain a little about your history and background. You can write something simple, just stating you love vintage clothing and are looking to sell some extras from your wardrobe. You'll need to put up some pictures of the items you're selling online. It's important that you get clear photographs. Buyers will want to see your outfits from multiple angles so they can decide whether or not to buy. Do not rely on a phone camera. Use a high quality camera to take photos of a given item from a variety of angles.  If you don't have a great camera, see if you can borrow one from a friend. If you're not particularly adept at technology, see if a friend would be willing to take some pictures for you. It may be helpful to have someone model clothing items for you. It may be easier to get a sense of how a dress may look like if you can see it on a person. If you want to sell vintage clothing professionally, you'll have to build a brand for yourself. Your brand is how you market yourself. Think of a unique story or style. There are many ways to brand yourself that increase your sales.  You should get on social media outlets. Link...

There are many products on the market that are specifically designed to remove waterproof mascara. A good waterproof eye makeup remover will remove all vestiges of mascara quickly, safely and effectively. If you wear waterproof mascara a lot, investing in a good remover is definitely worth it.  Always use hypoallergenic products, even if your skin is not sensitive. The ingredients in hypoallergenic products tend to be less harmful to your skin. Go for a well-known brand such as Lancôme, Clarins, Elizabeth Arden, etc. The quality will be higher, and thus less likely to irritate your eyes. Use a cotton ball or pad to apply the makeup remover. Close your eyelids and rest the pad on top of your eyelashes for a few seconds. Then wipe down, towards the lash tips. Repeat, using fresh pads as needed until all products are removed and a fresh pad comes away clean. Baby shampoo can be effective in the removal of waterproof mascara. Baby shampoos are usually fairly safe to use around the sensitive eye area, as most brands are color and fragrance free, and are hypoallergenic.  Use only a very small amount of baby shampoo and apply it onto your eyelashes with a damp cotton ball. Avoid getting any baby shampoo directly in your eyes. Never use regular shampoo, as it will irritate your eyes. Use wet cloths or pads to wipe away the baby shampoo and mascara, being careful not to leave any shampoo behind. Use a brand like Pond’s Cold Cream to remove any stubborn makeup, like waterproof mascara. Cold cream is also good for removing an entire face of makeup.  Wash your face with your regular cleanser, pat it dry and then apply the cold cream as a deep conditioning treatment. Let the cream soak into your skin for a few minutes before wiping it clean with a warm washcloth. Cold cream should not be applied to eyelids, but should be rubbed carefully into your lashes and wiped away. As petroleum jelly is a gasoline by-product, it is not the ideal substance to use around the eye area. Use it only as a last resort and avoid getting it...

There are many psychologists, counselors, and social workers who specialize in gender variance. These experts can help you ask and answer your big questions.  Look for counselors who specialize in gender identity, gender dysphoria, or LGBT concerns. If there is a transgender health clinic in your area, contact them to see if they have any available therapists. If you live in the USA, you can use the American Psychologist Association locator to find a psychologist who specializes in questions of gender identity: http://locator.apa.org/  In the UK, consider contacting the Beaumont Society for a reference: http://www.beaumontsociety.org.uk/  You can also ask your doctor for a recommendation, or visit a counselor at your school if you are in high school or college. Get in touch with people who have transitioned, or people who are questioning their gender. Some places you might look include LGBTQ meet up groups, community centers, and events. If you are in school, consider visiting any student groups such as an LGBTQ group or a Gay Straight Alliance. You don't have to come out right away; just say you are an ally, or explain that you are questioning but you aren't comfortable talking about it just yet.  Not everyone you meet will want to talk about their gender! Some people may feel exposed if you ask them personal questions. You can mention your own questions, and if they ask you questions you can ask in return. If you're not sure, write them or find a private moment to ask. You might say, "I've been thinking a lot about my own gender identity, and you are someone who might know about some of the questions I am having. If you ever have the time and energy, I would love to talk to you about this. Please feel free to say no." A great way to connect with other gender variant and questioning people is to look online. Consider joining a group on social media, or an anonymous forum. When you interact with people online, make sure to conceal your personal information.  Check out a general LGBTQ forum like:...

There are many reasons you might be dating more than one woman. You may have just gotten out of a long, difficult relationship, or you may be someone who is naturally polyamorous.  It’s good to know whether you imagine dating multiple women as a long term plan or as something that simply suits you right now. It’s okay not to know what you want in the long term. But be ready to be honest about that with the women you’re dating. If you’re looking for long-term polyamory, look for other women who are also interested in that. If you are simply looking for hookups, try to find women who want that as well.  Most online dating apps allow you to state what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for hookups, don’t get involved with women who are looking for marriage. If you’re looking for hookups, don’t plan elaborate getaways or very romantic dates with a woman, or she may get the wrong idea. If you’ve never dated multiple women before, you need to spend some time getting used to balancing more than one relationship. Don’t try to go from being monogamous to dating five women at once. You can read books or blogs about polyamory and other lifestyles that accommodate dating multiple women. Over time, and depending on who you meet, your interests may change. If they do, be honest with yourself about your feelings. Don’t try to deny them, or you and others are likely to get hurt.  If you begin to fall in love with one person, or multiple people, you may need to have a serious conversation about that with all of the people you’re dating. Having strong feelings for someone doesn’t have to mean you stop dating the others, but it may mean that the relationships change in some way.

There are many signs and symptoms of scabies. The most common and earliest one is intense itching.  The itching represents sensitization, a type of allergic reaction, to the adult female mites, their eggs, and their waste. Itching tends to be more severe at night and has the potential to interrupt the sleep of infested individuals. Along with the itching, you may develop a rash. The rash also represents an allergic reaction to the mite. The rash is typically described as pimple-like with surrounding inflammation and redness.  Mites prefer to burrow into the skin in certain parts of the body.  The most common places that adults can have an itchy rash associated with scabies are the hands, especially the webbing between the fingers, the skin folds of the wrist, elbow, or knee, the buttocks, the waist, the penis, the skin around the nipples, the armpits, the shoulder blades, and the breasts.  In children, the most common sites of infestation include the scalp, face, neck, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. When you have scabies, tiny burrows are sometimes visible on the skin. These appears as tiny raised and crooked grayish-white or skin-colored lines on the surface of the skin. They are usually a centimeter or more in length. Burrows may be difficult to find as most people have only 10 to 15 mites in an average infestation. The intense itching caused by scabies sometimes leads to sores on the skin. The sores are at high risk for infection, which is often a complication of scabies. The sores are most often infected with bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, or beta-hemolytic streptococci, which predominate on the skin.   These bacteria can also lead to inflammation of the kidneys and sometimes sepsis, which is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the blood.  To avoid this, try to be gentle on your skin and do not scratch it. If you can't help yourself, consider wearing mittens or wrapping your fingertips with band-aids to keep yourself from damaging the skin. Keep your nails trimmed short. Signs...

There are many stores, local and chain, who buy products from the public at a reduced rate and then resell them in their stores. Sort through your home to find things you no longer need, want, or use and make a visit to these stores in your area.  If you consider yourself quite the avid reader with a library to match, consider sorting through your archives to find old books you no longer want. Books in good condition can be bought for several dollars apiece at used-bookstores. Clothing is something everybody has, and often something we have too much of. If your wardrobe is overflowing with clothes, take a pass through and find the things that you can’t fit or aren’t in style anymore. You will get the best price for clothing that doesn’t have holes, stains, or wear-and-tear. If your library is full of music rather than books, consider selling some of your CDs. CDs with their cases intact and without scratches or blemish can be sold for a few dollars each. Find a local music or record store in your area and see if they buy used CDs. If gaming is your thing, try sorting through all your old video games. Many video game stores will take your used games if they are brought without any scratches or blemishes in the original case. Although you may only get a fraction of the price you originally bought the games for, making a few dollars on something you no longer use is better than nothing. Try taking miscellaneous things to a local pawnshop. This allows you to resell anything from a blender you never used to your old motorcycle jacket. If you would rather be responsible for selling what you own instead of taking it to a store, consider having a garage sale or advertising your items online. Although these involve much more planning than simply making a drop-off at your favorite secondhand store, you can make much more money by doing the work yourself.  Throw your own yard or garage sale. At most, you can expect a brand-new item to sell for 50% of its original price, but you will be making money back on something...

There are many substances that will crystallize using the techniques above. You can buy many of them from chemical supply stores. Here are a few options:   Borax for white or dyed crystals Copper sulfate for blue crystals  Chrome alum for purple crystals  Copper acetate monohydrate for dark, blue-green crystals   Warning: These chemicals may cause harm when inhaled, ingested, or handled with bare hands. Read the safety information on the label and do not allow children to handle them unsupervised. Tie several pipe cleaners or rough wires together in a star shape. Lower these into your salt solution, and watch small crystals coat the star and turn it into a sparkling snowflake. Instead of making a single crystal, why not create a cupful? Make your salt solution, then pour over cut up sponges or charcoal briquettes in the base of the container. Stir in a little vinegar, and watch crystal formations grow overnight.  Pour enough to saturate the sponges without submerging them. To make different colors of crystals, add a drop of food coloring to each sponge.
