Snip & Sketch will be replacing the Snipping Tool as the default screenshot tool.  If you have the app installed, type snip into the Windows search bar, then click Snip & Sketch in the search results. If you don’t have the app, you can install it now for free from the Microsoft Store. You must have the most up-to-date version of Windows to use Snip & Sketch. It’s at the top-left corner of the tool if the window is expanded, or the bottom-left corner if the window is smaller. Choose one of these three options:  To capture a square or rectangular area of the screen, click the rectangle with a dot at the top-center part of the tool, then draw a square around the desired area. To draw a freehand line around the area you want to capture, click the curved line shape with a dot (the second icon in the bar at the top), and then trace around the area you want to capture. To capture the entire screen, just click the rectangle with darkened corners (the third icon in bar at the top). Click the pen, pencil, or highlighter tool near the top-center part of Snip & Sketch to select a drawing tool, then tap the tool again to select a color and line weight. Use the mouse to draw on the image. Click the crop symbol (the square with a diagonal line in the row at the top-center part of the screen), then draw a box around the area you want to keep. Click the check mark at the top-right corner to crop. This opens the Save As dialog, where you can choose a new location and filename for your screenshot and then click Save.

Snuggling is a great romantic activity and it doesn't take a lot of skill, preparation, or extra effort. It's also a great way to transition into just about any bedroom activity, from foreplay to a serious talk. Go slow on this step. Snuggle for a long time, at least 20 minutes, before moving on to other activities. Use the time instead to talk and caress their body gently, stroking their hair and running your finger along their collar-bone.  When you're snuggling is also a great time to talk about your relationship and your future, which can be really romantic for partners that have been together almost a year or more. Really, you can talk about anything you want to talk about. However, talking about needing to go to the grocery store on Saturday isn't very romantic. Just keep that in mind. Don’t schedule romance in bed or just outright say that you want to go have sex. Being romantic means being subtle, so you’ll need to either wait until you’re in bed as normal or find another way to get them in bed and set the tone for romance. Try flirting and then taking their hand and leading them to the bed. . If you think you've got kissing mastered and there's no room for improvement, think again. Everyone can always stand to get better with their technique and execution can be everything. Don't discount kissing and making out: both can be very romantic. Break the mold in terms of the kisses you're giving your partner right now in favor of something new and exciting. Get creative with your kisses. Kiss every freckle and mole. Put on lipstick and “draw” a heart with kisses. There are lots of ways to making kissing more romantic, sexy, and memorable. . Giving your partner a massage is a goldie but oldie when it comes to being romantic. Massages are very relaxing and a great way to lead in to other romantic activities. You don't even need to be very strong. A light touch in just the right places will still feel just as good. Try putting a bottle of massage oil (or baby oil, if that's easier to find) in a bowl of warm...

TL;DR in Russian:

Обнимите свою половинку. Целуйтесь или займитесь любовью. Сделайте своей половинке массаж Удивите их тем, что они обнаружат у вас под одеждой. Примите участие в прелюдии.


So much of our time is spent thinking about the past or imagining the future, but the Universe only knows "now." The Universe is always in the present, so you need to be active and thinking in the present in order to manifest the things you desire. Thinking about your desires as something you will attain at some point in the future sends the message to yourself and the Universe that you will always be someone who will be receiving "in the future." Acceptance of this future receiving allows you to be identified as someone who does not receive in the present. But the future never happens; the present is happening right now. Only the Now is real. Think and act as if you are in the "now." Remember, there is only "now." So, saying that you want something to materialize in your life at some point in the future (two months from now, two years from now, etc.) is like telling the Universe that you do not truly desire that thing. Because "now" is the only thing that truly exists, any postponement of desire fulfillment is actually a rejection of that desire. For example, saying that you want to manifest a new love within the next month is like telling the Universe that you don't want a new love now. Nothing can drain your energy faster than listening to a complainer or a person steeped in their own negativity. Sooner or later, their negative outlook will affect you and cause you to begin acting and thinking like a person you do not desire to be. Again, you need to focus on exchanging positive energy for positive energy. Surrounding yourself with negative people will prohibit this from happening.

TL;DR in Russian:

Живите сегодняшним днем. Не применяйте временные ограничения. Окружите себя единомышленниками.


So much of today's society is based on grab-and-go convenience. Unfortunately, these items are all ultimately trash. Throughout your day, make an effort to only use items you can use again.  Switch to cloth paper towels and diapers. Use your own silverware, plates, and cups -- never go plastic to avoid washing. Don't buy bottled water. Carry around your own water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring eco-friendly bags to the grocery store. What do you do with those paper or plastic bags when you go shopping? You either end up throwing them out or stockpiling until you have an entire cupboard full of bags you'll probably never use. Cars are a huge culprit when it comes to pollution and, put more formidably, destroying the ozone. Who wants to get stuck in traffic anyway?  Less fuel consumption affects oil digging across the world -- a finite resource (that is just getting more and more expensive thanks to demand). Another important consideration in using less fuel is in the amount of toxic gases being released into the air as the fuel is burned to make the engine run.And it saves you money, too.  A bicycle is even better. You know why? You spend zero money on gas, you emit zero toxins into the environment, and you burn way more than zero calories while riding. Win. Win. Win. Alright, hybrids are expensive. And bicycles don't go fast enough. What's the next best alternative? Car pooling. And the more people who do it, the better for the environment (and traffic). As if being greener weren't enough, you'll now get to be one of those people that uses the carpool lane honestly. Because let's be honest: Everyone hates the guy driving down it alone. Nowadays, everything is available online. Whether it's your bills, junk, or the newspaper, get out of it. Instead of resenting the pile you're accumulating, you'll get excited when special mail does come.  For all your statements, go green. Get an online account for your bank, credit cards, and subscriptions. Emails don't hurt the environment. Start reading online. Magazines and...

TL;DR in Russian:

Не пользуйтесь одноразовыми предметами. Ездите на велосипеде. Совместное использование автомобиля. Откажитесь от обычной почты. Переработка мусора. Откажитесь от фастфуда. Покупайте меньше. Компост.


So you’ve tried to be nice, and that has gotten you nowhere. If you feel like you’ve tried being diplomatic, kind, and understanding and you’re no better off than you were when you started, then you may need to take a different approach. Sure, you may be a bit annoying by being a broken record and repeating what you want again and again, but who says it won’t help you get what you want?”  Continue saying what you want, or talking about what you want, until the person you’re talking to is so frustrated with you or annoyed that he just gives in. Sure, it won’t be pretty, but it’ll help you get closer to where you need to go. Just fold your arms over your chest and say what you want. Be firm in what you believe and don’t be ashamed of acting this way! If you’ve tried to be nice, then you need to try a different approach. Another way to be truly stubborn is simply not to budge until the person you’re with gives in to your demands. This can mean staying in your seat at a restaurant long after you’ve eaten your meal, staying at home when you and the person you’re with need to get going somewhere, or even stopping and sitting down on the ground wherever you want until you get what you want. Sure, this may embarrass the person you’re with, but if you really don’t care about that, then this may be the best way to get what you’re asking for!  This can be especially effective if the person is really depending on you to get up, like if you’re supposed to be giving him a ride somewhere. Sure, this may not be the most sophisticated approach, but it may be the most effective. Some people will quickly give in in the face of embarrassment. Another way to be stubborn is to just ignore the person who is telling you you can’t do a certain thing. Act like you literally can’t hear the person until he or she lets you have what you want. This can mean blankly staring at the person in front of you, as if you don’t hear him or her turning you down at all, putting your fingers in your ears and saying, “I can’t hear you!” or just...

TL;DR in Russian:

Включите заезженную пластинку. Откажитесь двигаться с места, пока не получите желаемого. Полностью игнорируйте человека, который не согласен с вами. Торгуйтесь. Покажите свои эмоции. Не забывайте исходные причины, которые побудили вас добиваться желаемого.


So, you've snagged the girl, she's dumped her old boyfriend, and now you've finally gotten what you want. Does this mean you should go shopping for engagement rings or take a weekend trip to the Bahamas? Absolutely not! Even if the girl got out of a bad relationship, it's likely that she's still going over the break up, so give her some time and space. If you try to hang out with her every second of every day, she's likely to feel overwhelmed and to back away. Instead, give her space and hang out with her once or twice a week, or however many times she's ready for.  This is something people don't get: break-ups are always painful, even if you're the person who did the breaking up. You may think that she feels totally free and happy because she got rid of the dead weight in her life, but she'll still be dealing with pain, and the inevitable grief that comes from saying goodbye to something, even if it wasn't all that great, and you have to be understanding of that. Though she shouldn't be the one to call or text you every time, make sure to give her some of the power. If you're the one who initiates contact every time, she may think that she's not ready for another boyfriend or for anything serious. Whether she got out of a three month relationship with a real jerk or a five-year relationship with a nice but boring guy, you should never bring up the guy, especially if you want to make fun of him, call him a loser, remind her that he wasn't good enough for her, etc. Though your intentions may be pure and you may just want to make her feel better about ending something that wasn't working, she may take this as an assault on her former relationship, and may be offended, because it's likely that she still has tender feelings for her ex.  Give it time. If she was in a five year relationship, then yeah, she may not be ready to talk about that part of her life for a long time. Maybe even a year will pass before she brings up her ex at all, because it will hurt too much to do it before hand. Be patient. If you keep...

Soak a soft, clean cloth rag in warm water. Wring out some of the excess water to prevent the rag from dripping over unaffected areas. Scrape the paint away Wipe away the spot of paint. You may need to rinse and re-soak the rag several times to get all of the paint up. Wipe the wood dry with a separate, dry rag. If you have a latex paint splatter on your wood that you cannot wipe away with plain water, wipe it away with denatured alcohol, instead.  Apply enough alcohol to a clean rag to dampen it without making it dripping wet. Pass the alcohol-soaked rag over the paint spot to remove it. Rinse, resoak, and repeat as needed. Dry the spot with a clean, dry rag when finished. Oil-based paint will continue clinging to the wood if you use plain water, so wipe it away with a soft rag dabbed in mineral spirits.  Dip a soft, clean rag into a small dish of mineral spirits. Instead of soaking the entire rag, only soak the area you plan on bringing into contact with the paint splatter. Wipe up the paint by passing the mineral spirit over the splatter. Rinse and resoak as needed until all the paint has been removed. Dry the area with a separate dry rag. Dry spots of paint can be softened by soaking and rubbing them away with boiled linseed oil.  Soak a clean rag in boiled linseed oil. Press the linseed oil rag against the paint spot and hold in place for 30 to 60 seconds. This permits the oil to soak into the paint. Wipe away the softened paint with your linseed oil soaked rag. Dry the area with a separate dry rag. If you cannot wipe the paint away even after softening it with boiled linseed oil, carefully use a putty knife to scrape beneath the splatter and lift it off the wood. Any dried paint residue that remains can be removed by rubbing it with a paste made of boiled linseed oil and rottenstone.  Combine enough boiled linseed oil and rottenstone in a small disposable dish to form a thick paste. Use a disposable wooden chopstick to stir the ingredients together. Scoop some of the paste onto a clean rag and rub the...

Soak your finger in warm water for about 15 to 20 minutes. Soaking helps relieve pain in the finger and helps with swelling. You can do this three or four times a day.  Dry the fingernail thoroughly after soaking it. You should keep your ingrown fingernail dry unless you are soaking it. After soaking your finger, you should then place any ointment or oil on the fingernail. You should also replace any cotton or bandages after soaking the finger. Another option to help an ingrown fingernail is to soak your hand in Epsom salt. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a couple of tablespoons of Epsom salt per quart of water. Let your hand soak for 15 to 20 minutes.  Epsom salts help relieve pain and inflammation.  If you want to apply a bandage to the ingrown fingernail, dry the finger completely after soaking. Then apply a bandage. Hydrogen peroxide is used to prevent infection. You can soak your ingrown fingernail in a solution of warm water and hydrogen peroxide. Add half a cup of peroxide to the warm water.  You can soak your finger for 15 to 20 minutes. You may also place the peroxide onto a cotton ball or piece of gauze and apply it directly the the ingrown fingernail. Tea tree oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties, which can help with an ingrown fingernail. When  you soak your nail, add two or three drops of tea tree oil to the warm water. Mix a drop or two of tea tree oil with a tablespoon of olive oil and rub it on the nail to prevent infection.  The tea tree oil can also help keep the nail a bit softer. You can put a drop of tea tree oil diluted in a tablespoon of olive oil on the nail daily. You can use tea tree oil as an alternative to antibiotic ointment since you probably won’t need both.  After the tea tree oil soaks in, put a dab of Vicks VapoRub or Mentholatum on the sore area. The menthol and camphor will work to reduce the pain and help soften the nail. Keep the menthol or camphor on for 12 to 24 hours using a bandage or a small piece of gauze. If you are using cotton to lift your nail,...

Soaking the beans helps remove the harmful plant lectin, hemagglutinin. Cover them in clean water with an inch or two extra at the top. Place a lid over them. Leave them to soak overnight. Discard the water before cooking. After the beans have been soaking, it's a good idea to boil them to remove any remaining hemagglutinin. Bring the beans to a boil, and let them boil for 10 minutes before cooking as you normally would. The best way to avoid food poisoning from beans is to ensure they are cooked thoroughly. Each type of bean takes a different amount of time to cook, so read the back of the package, or find a chart on the web for the style of cooking you plan to use. You can choose to boil them, cook them in a pressure cooker, or use a slow-cooker. Beans should be soft and tender when they're done.  Several beans need only a relatively short cooking time: red lentils (cook 20-30 minutes, pressure cook 5-7 minutes), black (turtle) beans (boil for 45-60 minutes, pressure cook 15-20 minutes), fava or broad beans (cook for 45-60 minutes, don't pressure cook), and great northern (cook 45- 60 minutes, pressure cook 4-5 minutes). Some need a bit longer: chickpeas (cook 1.5 to 2.5 hours, pressure cook 15-20 minutes), kidney beans (cook 1 to 1.5 hours, pressure cook for 10 minutes), lima beans (cook 60-90 minutes, don't use pressure cooker), and pinto beans (cook 1.5 hours, pressure cook 10 minutes). Beans produce foam at the top of the pot when you boil them. This foam is harmless, however, and it will be reabsorbed by the broth. However, you can skim it off if you'd like.

Social media addiction is a real health problem that will not go away on its own. Reducing your social media usage may help, but for some people it may be too difficult to do alone. Some warning signs that you may need to seek medical help for your social media addiction include:  spending time each day thinking about social media and/or obsessing over what you will post increasing your use of social media or feeling compelled to do so using social media as an escape from your personal problems in real life feeling tense, irritable, restless, depressed, or angry when you can't use social media being told by friends, relatives, or a significant other that your social media use is causing problems Therapy can greatly improve your anxiety symptoms while also treating your social media addiction. Therapy may include cognitive restructuring (changing the way you think), coping with feelings of inadequacy, and overcoming compulsions to use social media. Ask your doctor about finding a therapist near you who specializes in social media addiction and anxiety. You can also search online or browse your local phone book. For some individuals, therapy and behavioral changes may not be enough. If your social media addiction is really severe, you may need to cut off all access to the internet and spend time working closely with a mental health specialist.  Treatment programs work on changing the way you think and the way you perceive yourself. This is done through intense one-on-one and/or group therapy sessions. Many therapy programs also work on treating underlying conditions, including anxiety, which may contribute to or suffer from your social media addiction.

Social media is a major way we celebrate your relationships. If order for him to break up with you, change your social media accounts to look like you're single. Change your profile picture on Facebook and Twitter from one of the two of you to one of you by yourself. Remove your relationship status on Facebook. If you look like you are single long enough, he will get the hint.   To make it even better, change your profile picture to one of you looking your best. He will get the hint that you are signalling others that you are feeling single and ready to date other people.  Start talking on Facebook or tweeting with other guys. When he sees your interactions, he will understand that you are beginning to move on from your relationship with him. The next time that you and your boyfriend are going to hang with your friends, give them a heads up about the situation. Tell them that they don't have to treat him as nice or be as welcoming. When you are all together, ignore him in favor of spending more time with your friends. He will feel the cold shoulder from all of you and know that something is up. Whenever he brings up spending time with his friends, complain about the way they act or who they are. When you are with his friends, tell them how wrong they are. If he brings them up in conversation, tell him how awful they are or contradict him when he talks about how great they are. Guys are typically really close to their friends and he will get tired of you trashing them. If you know that you are going to be spending time with his friends, cancel your plans with him. This will show him how much you dislike his friends. Whenever you two go out, flirt with other guys. When you see a cute guy on the street, mention how hot he is. Get distracted from your conversation with your boyfriend because you are staring at a guy walking by. You can even flirt with his best friend. This will drive him crazy and make him mad, which will make him want to end your relationship. Nothing will make a guy run faster than you bringing...

Social media platforms are an important way for businesses, especially online businesses, to market themselves. Start an account and encourage people to "like" and "share" your store's page to spread the word.  Offer incentives for customers to promote your store. You could offer a discount or a free giveaway for those who participate. Be sure to keep the accounts up to date with information on new products and deals. Pairing your products with expert knowledge is a great way to attract more people to your site. If your product is fashion-related, start a style blog that features some of your products from time to time. Find a way to participate in online conversations related to the product you are selling.  Some all-inclusive services offer a blog feature as part of your "storefront." Feature other companies' products on your blog, and ask them to feature yours in return. This is a common practice among small online vendors. Send samples of your product to prominent bloggers or websites that do product reviews. Do guest posts on other people's blogs. For example, if you're selling homemade cookie mix, debut your product on a prominent baking blog. Use an email program like MailChimp to organize customer email addresses and send well-formatted email blasts informing customers about special deals. Don't abuse this method of getting in touch with customers, though - they may end up unsubscribing if you send emails too often.

Sociopaths are usually extremely charming and charismatic. Their personalities are described as magnetic, and as such, they generate a lot of attention and praise from others. They also tend to have a strong sexual energy and may have strange sexual fetishes or be sex addicts.  Sociopaths oftentimes feel overly entitled to certain positions, people, and things. They believe that their own beliefs and opinions are the absolute authority and disregard the opinions of others.  Sociopaths are rarely shy, insecure, or at a loss for words. They have trouble suppressing emotional responses like anger, impatience, or annoyance, and constantly lash out at others and respond hastily to these emotions. They may cultivate an innocent persona. It is as if they are playing a character in a play, with very thoughtful displays of their personality. They may act innocent or especially sweet, which is easy to believe because they are very good actors. You should not take your first impression of them at face value. If you do not know a person well, they can mislead you into thinking they are innocent or sweet. The only real way to know a sociopath's true personality is by getting to know them well.  If you listen to your intuition, you may get the feeling that their persona is just too simple to be real.  Non-sociopaths are genuine people and not a perfect picture of a simplified personality. Sociopaths exhibit abnormally spontaneous and daring behavior. They seem to act outside of the realm of social norms, and may do bizarre, risky, or outrageous things without assessing the potential repercussions.  Sociopaths can be criminals. Because of their tendency to disregard the law and social norms, sociopaths may have a criminal record. They may be con artists, kleptomaniacs, or even murderers.  Sociopaths are professional liars. They fabricate stories and make outlandish, untruthful statements.  Because they have practiced lying so much, they are able to make these lies sound convincing.  As their experience with lying grows, so...

Soft foam works, too, but styrofoam is easier to carve out. The tough part about this is that you have to sculpt a face. The easy part is that puppets come in all shapes and sizes and you can't really mess it up.  The major points to cover are indentations for the eye sockets, a bulge for a nose, and removing the lower jaw (if you want it to talk). If you do want it to talk, leave a space for your hand to go into! Start at the middle of the face and work your way out, hot gluing as you go along. Spray adhesive also works, but it's a bit harder to work with. Readjust and stretch as you glue, keeping the fleece tight against the styrofoam. Get deep into the indentations (like the eye sockets) and keep it secure, like skin would naturally be. You can either have the nose be part of same material as the head, stick it onto the styrofoam ball, or cover it in fleece and then add it to the face. One way is not better than any other. Bottle caps can be used for eyes, but so can beads, puff balls, or anything you can find wandering through your local craft supply store. As far as the lower jaw goes, if you removed it, cover it in fleece and hot glue just the very edges to the head. The styrofoam jaw should still be able to move -- just the fleece should be hot glued and attached.  Depending on the size of your puppet, it could be donning a full-fledged wig or hat on its head. Neither of those available? Throw on a hoodie! Problem solved. Add felt eyebrows and ears, if desired. Every puppet is different, so if yours doesn't have something, it won't be cause for alarm. A naked puppet is, for some reason, sufficiently awkward. Grab something you never want to wear again and glue the top to the "neck" of your puppet (for this reason, you may want to employ a scarf or turtleneck). To give the puppet a body, simply stuff the shirt with newspaper or some type of foam or quilt batting. Stay away from short sleeves so you don't have to deal with making arms. Since one is probably operating the face, make at least one hand...

Soft, shiny hair is a gorgeous accessory. To keep your hair healthy, make sure you’re treating it healthy. Don’t shampoo it too often, as this can strip it of its moisturizing, natural oils. Use hot tools sparingly, and always use a heat protectant. Let your hair air dry whenever you can, but when you can’t, use a medium to cool setting on your hair dryer. Make sure you’re eating a nutrient-dense diet and drinking plenty of water. A daily multi-vitamin can help with any nutrient deficiencies you may have. Branching out from your usual, go-to look can make you look and feel more gorgeous than ever. Don’t worry if you aren’t a gifted hairstylist – YouTube offers tutorials for every hairstyle under the sun. When you have a little bit of free time, try out a few new looks that make you feel beautiful.  Remember to keep your hair healthy. Instead of using curling irons, try some no-heat curling methods instead. Avoid pulling your hair back into sleek ponytails all the time, as this puts too much tension on your hairline and can damage your hair at the roots. The majority of girls have the occasional self-conscious day, when nothing seems to fit right and every outfit seems to hug in all the wrong places. One of the best things about hair accessories is that they always fit! Add some fun headbands, stylish clips, and trendy hats to your wardrobe to easily add a special touch to any outfit.

Softball and baseball are variations of the same game. The primary difference is that a softball is pitched underhand, while a baseball is pitched overhand. As the name implies, there is also a difference in the balls used.  Softballs are larger and a bit heavier than baseballs. Softballs are less dense and slightly softer than baseballs. Softballs are typically white but may be colored neon green or yellow in the interests of visibility (especially at night). Softball fields are typically smaller than baseball fields (because batted softballs don't travel as far as baseballs). Softball games last for seven innings instead of the nine innings typical of higher-level baseball games.  The bats used in softball are a little shorter and have a wider barrel than the bats used in baseball. There are two types of softball competition, with slight differences between them. Both follow the same general rules.  Slow-pitch is typically coed, and, as the name suggests, the ball is pitched by lobbing it in a high, slow arc toward home plate.  Fast-pitch is played primarily by women and features very quick pitches with large wind-ups. Most softball games consist of seven innings, each with two halves. The first (or "top") half is when the visiting team bats. The second (or "bottom") half is when the home team bats. Each half-inning is played until the fielding team manages to put out three batters or baserunners.   The pitcher will pitch to a batter until one of four things happens:  The batter gets three strikes against him/her. A strike occurs when the batter swings at a pitch but misses it (or hits it foul with less than two strikes against him/her), or when the pitch passes through the strike zone but the batter does not swing at it. The pitcher throws four "balls," which are pitches that fail to pass through the strike zone and which are not swung at by the batter. In this case the batter "walks," meaning s/he is awarded first base.  The pitcher hits the batter with a pitch. In this case, too, the batter is awarded...

Software specification documents serve as reference manuals for designers of the user interface, programmers who write the code, and testers who verify that the software works as intended. The exact information depends on the program in question but may include any of the following:  Key files within the application. This may include files created by the development team, databases accessed during the program's operation, and third-party utility programs. Functions and subroutines. This includes an explanation of what each function or subroutine does, including its range of input values and output values. Program variables and constants, and how they're used in the application. The overall program structure. For a disc-based application, this may mean describing the program's individual modules and libraries, while for a Web application, this may mean describing which pages use which files. The more technical documentation is developed within the program's source code to begin with, the easier it will be to update and maintain along with the code, as well as to document various versions of the original application. At a minimum, documentation within the source code needs to explain the purpose of functions, subroutines, variables, and constants.  If the source code is particularly lengthy, it can be documented in the form of a help file, which can be indexed or searched with keywords. This is a particular advantage for applications where the program logic is fragmented over many pages and includes a number of supplemental files, as with certain Web applications. Some programming languages, such as Java and the .NET Framework (Visual Basic.NET, C #), have their own standards for documenting code. In these cases, follow the standards as to how much of the documentation should be included with the source code. To some extent, this is determined by the language the code is written in, be it C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java, or PHP, as specific tools exist for these and other languages. In other cases, the tool to use...

Solitude is a time for reflection, for thinking about things more deeply. In a world increasingly focused on speed and competitiveness, solitude is precious and something to be treasured. Being comfortable alone is a sign of healthy self-esteem. Happiness comes from within, regardless of your situation. Don't use being alone as an excuse for not enjoying your life! Choose to see the good things in life and work on having an optimistic outloook. Some of the time you spend alone can be focused on reflection. Make time to be introspective and think about your life. Consider your past, present, and future goals. Above all, contemplation is one of the most important self-building things you can do. Think about what makes you you. What do you believe in? Why? Are there any things that don't seem right to you? What do you believe at face value (or accept as a matter of faith)? It is easy to read into experiences, feelings, thoughts, and attitudes of others and make judgements that are really founded on nothing more than your own naive perception. This can quickly become a negative activity and get you down. Realize that you may not have all the facts and that's just fine. Many times it isn't the partner or friend you are missing, but the activities and hobbies you shared. Don't hold yourself back! Go out and do the things you enjoy. For example, if you would have gone out to dinner or to a movie on a date, then take yourself out to a movie or to a nice restaurant. Exercise not only gives you something to do, it also helps you stay healthy and feel good about yourself. Set aside 30 minutes 3 times a week to exercise. You can go to a gym if you want to be around people, or workout at home.  Rediscover the fun to be had in simple exercises. Riding a bike around your neighborhood becomes less work and more fun as you do it. Be consistent. Exercise takes willpower and diligence. Make a schedule and stick to it. Keep it easy at first and you will discover your limits. Or, join a gym and create new friends there. It's a...

Solving a big problem like world hunger can feel overwhelming, but there are a lot of resources to help you get started. Learn more about agencies and nonprofits who are already helping people in need. This will help you understand the best way for you to help. Here are some places to get started:  Read about the United Nations World Food Programme to learn more about the hunger situation in the world. Visit Action Against Hunger's website to learn more about world hunger and how life-threatening hunger is treated and prevented. Check out the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to see how they're educating people about world hunger. When some products are bought in large amounts, it can actually harm the areas where those foods are grown. There are many reasons for this. Sometimes growing too much of the same thing is bad for the soil but farmers do it anyway because it's the only way to survive. Other times, it can deplete the amount of food available for the people in that region, if the crop had previously been used for locals. Either way, your best bet is to buy mainly local food and supplement your diet with these popular superfoods. Without donations from people like you, charities who help feed starving people won't have the resources to help. To make sure you're giving your money to the right charity, look for their financial statements online to see how they spend their donations. Additionally, check their ratings from independent charity watchdogs like Charity Navigator. Then, pick a charity that offers the type of help that you want to give, such as emergency relief or long-term community-based solutions for hunger.  For example, your donations might save a malnourished child who's about to pass away, provide relief to farmers who lost their crop due to drought or extreme weather, lend money to women to help them support their children's health, and so much more. Read about each agency's programs. Action Against Hunger is a charity with 40 years of experience in preventing and treating hunger....

Solving the cube root of a number is going to look like solving a long division problem, with a few special differences. The first step is to set up the problem in the proper format.  Write down the number whose cube root you want to find. Write the digits in groups of three, using the decimal point as your starting place. For this example, you will find the cube root of 10. Write this as 10. 000 000. The extra 0s are to allow precision in the solution. Draw a cube root radical sign over the number. This serves the same purpose as the long division bar line. The only difference is the shape of the symbol. Place a decimal point above the bar line, directly above the decimal point in the original number. You will use these in the computations. These cubes are as follows:  13=1∗1∗1=1{\displaystyle 1^{3}=1*1*1=1} 23=2∗2∗2=8{\displaystyle 2^{3}=2*2*2=8} 33=3∗3∗3=27{\displaystyle 3^{3}=3*3*3=27} 43=4∗4∗4=64{\displaystyle 4^{3}=4*4*4=64} 53=5∗5∗5=125{\displaystyle 5^{3}=5*5*5=125} 63=6∗6∗6=216{\displaystyle 6^{3}=6*6*6=216} 73=7∗7∗7=343{\displaystyle 7^{3}=7*7*7=343} 83=8∗8∗8=512{\displaystyle 8^{3}=8*8*8=512} 93=9∗9∗9=729{\displaystyle 9^{3}=9*9*9=729} 103=10∗10∗10=1000{\displaystyle 10^{3}=10*10*10=1000} Select a number that, when cubed, gives the largest possible result less than the first set of three numbers.  In this example, the first set of three numbers is 10. Find the largest perfect cube that is less than 10. That number is 8, and its cube root is 2. Write the number 2 above the radical bar line, over the number 10. Write the value of 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}}, which is 8, underneath the number 10, draw a line and subtract, just as you would in long division. The result is a 2. After the subtraction, you have the first digit of your solution. You need to decide if this one digit is a precise enough result. In most cases, it will not be. You can check by cubing the single digit and decide if that is close enough to the result you wanted. Here, because 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}} is only 8, not very close to 10,...

Some are absorbent pads that stick to your clothing. Others are shields that can even be sewn into your shirts at the seam to prevent stains. The final model uses a strap to go around your shoulder and arm, keeping the pad in place directly under your armpit. Buy some panty liners at the store to place in the armpits of your shirt. Cut each one in half. With your shirt on, expose the adhesive and stick it to the inside of the armpit of your shirt. Repeat on the other side. Finally, make sure the pads don’t show. Experiment with thickness to see if you need more protection. Sometimes all it takes is looking for a stronger antiperspirant to stop the sweat stains. Make sure that whatever you use (roll-on, spray) doesn’t irritate your skin. He or she might suggest prescription antiperspirant. Another option might even be botox injections to prevent underarm sweat. Make sure you take into account the possible side effects of botox, and only do it if suggested by your medical professional.

Some bartenders use this substitute when there's no ginger ale in stock. It's not intended to be an amazing drink by itself, or to be drunk straight. Don't assume the customer is fine with the substitute. Let them know you would have to use a soda replacement, and give them the option to change the order. As always, mix in a glass of ice to keep the ingredients cold. This adds a spicy aroma and taste to replace the ginger bite. You may use Angostura bitters, or whatever you have on hand. Bitters are alcoholic. Skip this step if you're making the drink for kids or non-drinkers. Most prepackaged sour mixes taste terrible. Make this simple recipe yourself for best results:   Make simple syrup by combining equal amounts of sugar and water. Heat and stir until all sugar is dissolved, then let cool. To make sour mix, combine two parts simple syrup and three parts lemon or lime juice. At least ¾ of the "ginger ale" should be Sprite, 7–Up, or another lemon-lime soda. You can even make it most of the drink, saving just a splash for the remaining ingredients. The main purpose of the cola is to add a golden color to the clear soda. You only need a splash, but you can add up to ¼ of the glass if you prefer the taste. Test your fake ginger ale by mixing it with whiskey, or use it in cocktails such as the Moscow mule. Bartenders typically add the same amount they would regular ginger ale.

Some bicycling shoes have thicker soles than others, and this can make a difference when figuring out how high your saddle should be. Even a small amount of thickness can make a difference in making it easier for you to pedal your bike. Professional bike shoes might have cleats that can give you a bit of added height, and this is important to calculate into your seat height. Hold the handlebars yourself and also have someone hold the handlebars for you so that the bike doesn’t rock or tilt. Lift yourself up to sit on the seat. Your bicycle seat, or the saddle, is not intended to carry all of your weight. Rather, your weight should be distributed between the saddle, your legs and feet as they rest on the pedals, and through your arms and hands on the handlebars. Let your heel touch this pedal. Do not tilt the bike. There are different interpretations of what the ideal angle for your bent knee, but generally, bending your knee at a 5-degree angle (so you have a slight bend in your knee and your leg is not entirely extended) will be sufficient when your heel is on the pedal. When the ball of your foot is on the pedal, your knee should be at a 25- or 30-degree angle so it’s fully extended. Professional bicyclists often use formulas and calculations to determine the most ideal seat height. These include the Greg Lemond formula and finding the pubic bone height, among others. Other professional riders consider these formulas to oversimplify the unique body structure of each individual rider, whose foot length, type of pedal, shoe thickness and other factors can have an impact on comfortable seat height. Using a calculation can give you a basic idea of an appropriate height for your seat, however. Determine your seat height using one of these formulas and raise your seat to match the measurement. If you need to rock your hips while sitting on the bike in order to pedal, then your seat is too high.  Greg Lemond formula: This formula takes into account saddle height, shoe cleats, bicycle height, and angles of the...

Some bugs are attracted to certain scents, or just the fact that something smells different from what they’re used to.  Avoid wearing any perfume or scented lotions and creams when outdoors. Insect repellent comes in both spray and lotion versions.  Use insect repellent before going outdoors to help prevent bugs from landing on you in the first place.  The spray is easier to cover your whole body, as it can also be sprayed directly onto your clothing.  However, the lotion can be applied directly to your skin and can be targeted at exposed areas.  Read the instructions for the repellent lotion as to whether you can use it on your face.  Never apply it near your eyes. Insect repellent that contains DEET is the most effective.  Wait at least 30 minutes before applying the repellent if you’ve just applied sunscreen. In addition to wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, you can also wear clothing specifically designed to keep the bugs out.  This special clothing includes a hat with thin netting that comes down to cover your face, neck, and shoulders.  If you’re going to an area with a lot of bugs, this might be a better option than repellent. You can also tuck your pants into your socks to keep the bugs from biting your ankles. Water that’s built up in puddles and ditches, or any water that isn’t moving with a current, can become breeding grounds for mosquito eggs.  If there’s standing water on your property, remove it to help eliminate the possibility of mosquitoes.  If you’re outdoors, avoid areas with standing water if you can. Candles made with citronella, linalool, and geraniol have all been shown to keep bugs, mainly mosquitoes, away.  In fact, there are studies that show citronella reduces the number of female mosquitoes in the area by 35%, linalool reduces the number by 65%, and geraniol reduces the number by 82%! They even make citronella-scented badges that you can wear on your clothing. There are some essential oils that are known to help repel bugs, and when combined with water can be applied to...

Some cinder blocks that have been exposed to water through a leak will develop a white powder coating on the outside. It can be removed by scrubbing the deposits with cleaner and a scrub brush. Allow the cleaned areas to dry completely before washing the walls further.  Alternatively, you can mix the masonry cleaner with water in a 1-to-1 mixture in a pressure washer and clean the surface of the cinder blocks with the pressurized mixture. To avoid future deposits after painting, locate the cause of the leak and repair it appropriately before priming and painting. Cinder blocks are mostly all a shade of gray or taupe, so if your blocks are another color or have a shine to them, they’re probably painted. Lift off the paint with the edge of the scraper. Chip away small portions at a time until as much of the paint is removed as possible. Don’t worry about very small pieces that are still present after you remove most of the paint. You can normally scrub these off with water or paint over them without any problem. Using a pressure washer on a mild pressure level of 1500-2000 psi will get the job done quickly, but it’s okay if you don’t have access to one. You can use a regular garden hose to spray down the blocks and then scrub with a brush to remove dirt. Avoid using soap in the water because it will take longer to dry and isn’t effective for cleaning bare cinder block. The primer won’t stick if it’s applied to wet cinder blocks. If you’re working inside, open windows or turn on fans to allow the cinder blocks to dry out quickly. Be patient. If all of the blocks aren’t dry after 4 hours, you should wait an additional hour before priming. Purchase a tube of caulk at the hardware or home improvement store and locate any cracks in the cinder block. Cut about 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) off the tip of the caulk and push the caulk to the tip of the tube with your hands or a caulking gun. Then, apply the caulk to the crack liberally, covering the joint completely.  For a smooth finish, run a razor over the applied caulk to...

Some colors show sweat stains more rapidly than others, such as gray or light colors. Other colors are more forgiving and do a better job of hiding the stains, such as navy blue and black. Surprisingly enough, some shades of white can hide sweat, while others show it up––this requires some at-home experimentation. If you want to wear colors, think about choosing jackets and sweaters in the brighter colors or your choice. Unfortunately, bright colors are some of the worst for showing sweat stains. Stay away from synthetic fibers like rayon and polyester. Choose natural materials like cotton or linen instead. These fabrics will help your skin breathe in a way that synthetics can’t. There are even new fabrics being developed that completely wick away sweat. Figure out what works best for you.

Some companies offer direct stock purchase plans (DSPPs) that allow you to purchase stock without using a broker. If you are planning to buy a small amount of a certain stock, this may be your best option. This approach saves you the time and cost of going through a broker.  Search online or call the company whose stock you wish to buy. Ask them if they offer a stock purchase plan. If they do, the firm will forward you a copy of their plan's prospectus, application forms, and other relevant information. A prospectus is a regulatory document that discloses all of the important information about a stock purchase. Many plans allow you to invest as little as $50 per month. Verify any fees you need to pay. A few companies offer no-fee investment plans. DSPPs also allow you to reinvest all your dividends automatically if you desire. Dividends are paid to you based on the profits of the company. The company’s board of directors must declare a dividend in order for a payment to take place. If you can't buy the stock you want directly from the issuing company, you'll need to find a broker. Brokerage houses vary in terms of the services they provide. This means you'll need to compare your options and choose the brokerage that suits you best. Generally speaking, there are two types of brokers: full-service and discount.  Full-service brokers are more expensive. These firms target their services toward investors interested in receiving recommendations and guidance. The higher fee may be worthwhile, however, because full-service brokers can provide valuable assistance. If you’re not confident in your ability to pick stocks, or if you don’t have time, consider working with a full-service broker. If you plan to make your own investment decisions, choose a discount broker. There is no point in paying a higher fee for services you aren't going to use. Still, you must examine each broker's platform closely to make sure their offerings align with your investment objectives. Search the Internet for online discount brokers....

Some conditions, like Crohn’s disease, will have periods during which symptoms seem disappear or go into remission, but the condition is still present. Stopping your medication during these periods may cause your condition to flare up again. Talk to your doctor before stopping Remicade, even if your symptoms seem to have subsided and you are feeling well.  The manufacturer recommends staying on a maintenance dose of Remicade even when you are in remission to prevent symptoms from coming back. The maintenance dose and frequency will vary depending upon your condition. According to the manufacturer, when patients stop taking Remicade, their bodies sometimes produce antibodies against Remicade. This can make it less effective in the future.   Ask your doctor if she expects that this would occur to you if you tried to go back onto Remicade after stopping. Your doctor may be able to tell you how often this occurs to patients that restart Remicade and how severely reduced the effectiveness of the medication is. If you have a serious condition, talk to your doctor about what you will do if your condition worsens. Stopping Remicade will not produce withdrawal symptoms, but it is important that you be monitored to make sure your condition does not get worse. Questions to ask your doctor include:  What signs should you look for to make sure that your condition is not coming back? How will the doctor monitor your health after you stop Remicade? Are there other medications or lifestyle changes you can make to keep your condition in remission? If your condition becomes active, are there medications you can use to treat it without Remicade? Does your doctor recommend decreasing the Remicade gradually and then starting another medication? Chances are your doctor will not recommend suddenly stopping. Your doctor may be concerned that stopping suddenly may increase the likelihood that your condition will flare up again.  Ask your doctor for recommendations on how to taper off. Your doctor may suggest spacing out your doses...

Some databases don’t have a root (admin) password by default, so you may be able to get in leaving the password field empty. Some others have default passwords that can be found easily by searching database tech support forums. If the admin secured the account with a password (a likely situation), try common username/password combinations. Some hackers publicly post lists of passwords they’ve cracked while using auditing tools. Try some different username and password combinations.  A reputable site with collected password lists is https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/tree/master/Passwords. Trying passwords by hand can be time-consuming, but there’s no harm in giving it a shot before breaking out the big guns. You can use a variety of tools to try thousands of dictionary words and letter/number/symbol combinations by brute force until the password is cracked.  Tools like DBPwAudit (for Oracle, MySQL, MS-SQL and DB2) and Access Passview (for MS Access) are popular password auditing tools that can be run against most databases. You can also search Google for newer password auditing tools specifically for your database. For instance, a search for password audit tool oracle db if you’re hacking an Oracle database. If you have an account on the server that hosts the database, you can run a hash cracker like John the Ripper against the database’s password file. The location of the hash file is different depending on the database.  Only download from sites that you can trust. Research tools extensively before using them.

Some doctors recommend that you ice your wrists several times a day, when you're feeling pain in that area. For this form of therapy, you'll need to set up two large bowls of water -- one should be ice cold, and one should be hot (just not so hot that it burns you). Set them up in your sink and place your hands and wrists into the cold bowl for one minute, and then move them into the hot bowl for one minute. Repeat this exercise for ten minutes twice daily to relieve the pain in your wrists. Use a mini foam roller that is about as wide as a quarter to roll your wrists up and down on it for twenty seconds on each wrist. Just place the roller on your table and gently roll your wrist up and down the roller, giving your wrists a nice, relaxing massage. Either use your other hand or get a trusted massage expert to gently massage your forearms, wrists, and palms to relieve the tension in your hands. Make sure that the massage is gentle and does not cause more pain in the areas that need to be worked out. Lie down on the roller, so that your back is lined up with the roller, and move your arms out to your sides (think of the "shavasana" pose in yoga). This will open up your back, reducing the strain you've been placing on your back and your arms. Hold this pose for up to a minute. You can also alternate your arms, moving one up above your head, and the other down by your sides, repeating this for a minute. This will shake out and reduce some of the tension in your arms, wrists, and back. There are many wrist exercises that you can try to both strengthen your hands and wrists and to relieve the tension in your hands and arms. If you make an effort to do these when you take breaks, or just a few times a day, you'll feel your wrists getting stronger. These exercises will both stretch your wrists and build strength where you need it. Here are some exercises you can try:  "Pushing the wall." Place your hands straight out in front of you, flexing your wrists,  so that you're facing the backs of your hands, as if you were...

Some doctors say that dealing with the fact that a major life goal is suddenly closed to you is not different from dealing with grief, so you may really feel that you are "in mourning," even if it's over the fact that your book deal didn't work out, or that your boyfriend broke up with you instead of proposing. It's perfectly natural to feel incredibly upset and pained, so acknowledge it and accept your pain.  Don't be ashamed to cry or otherwise express your feelings. This doesn't necessarily mean doing so in public. Though, letting out your emotions are healthier than suppressing them. However, avoid lashing out at others. For instance, if you did not get the promotion, writing a bitter e-mail to your supervisor will not only deteriorate the situation, you might get fired. In the immediate aftermath of a disappointment, it's often really difficult to see the aftermath as anything but an unmitigated disaster.  Ask yourself, Will this matter one year from now? A week? One month? A lot of times, asking this question will bring you back to reality. It's terrible that you dented your car, but will it be fixed in a week? You failed a quiz, but will that matter when the semester ends with a passing grade? You have an injury, and cannot finish out your spring sport, which is unfortunate, but you can play next year. Talk to a rational, calm, sympathetic friend or relative about your situation -- preferably someone older who has had plenty of setbacks and can offer some more insight. Writing your feelings and thoughts down can help express frustration, anger, fear, and other negative feelings, too. This can be helpful if you can't immediately talk to a sympathetic ear. While you're at it writing your "grief list", the mere fact of your writing it, kindly takes the focus out your  deep-felt present disappointment what with your resilience and your up-bringing start suggesting alternatives that somehow, in a very delicate and sensible way, will let you see some light and hopes. Identify a real "disaster" versus...

Some dogs will howl in order to get your attention, or to “ask” for food, treats, toys, etc. To prevent this kind of howling behavior, you will first have to show your dog that howling is not a way to get your attention.  Don’t scold or punish your dog when it howls, as it may find even this kind of attention rewarding. Simply do not touch, speak, or look at your dog when it howls to get your attention. An additional complication is that some dogs will find howling self-rewarding, meaning ignoring the behavior might not deter the behavior as it might for other attention-seeking behaviors. Ignoring the howling instead of yelling or punishing will, however, prevent you from accidentally reinforcing the behavior. Rewarding your dog when it is quiet will help condition it to stop howling excessively. Keep a supply of treats or toys ready, and try these techniques:  Don’t give your dog anything (food, treats, toys, etc.) until it has been quiet for at least five seconds. This will condition your dog to associate being quiet with getting a reward. If your dog howls when waiting for something, ignore it until it is quiet for at least five seconds. Give your dog treats at random times when it is being quiet. The unexpected treat will help reinforce good behavior. Just as you can train a dog to “speak,” you can train it to stop howling or making other noise when you give a command. Once you’ve trained your dog using the following steps, just give the command to “hush” whenever it starts to howl:  Say “speak!” and try to get your dog to make noise (such as by clapping your hands). Praise your dog when it makes noise and give them a treat. This teaches your dog to make a noise on cue. This which means the dog will be less likely howl in the absence of the cue. Now wait for your dog to stop saying noise, say “hush!” or “quiet!” and then praise your dog and give it a treat. Repeat these steps many times. You can also try slowly lengthening the amount of time your dog needs to be silent before you give it a treat.

TL;DR in Russian:

Some equalizers are designed for installation in your dash while others are designed for a remote location such as the trunk. The installation location will depend on your particular choice of equalizer and preferences.  Many prefer to install their equalizers in their trunk near the amp so that they have the option to easily add additional amps later. Some vehicles will not have space in the dash for an equalizer and will need to remote-mount their equalizer. Equalizers can be installed anywhere between your amp and receiver. Most remote-mount equalizers will come with a remote so that you can change the controls from the driver’s seat. Most people prefer to mount their remote-mount equalizer in their trunk near the amp. This way they can easily add additional amps later on by connecting a close wire. Other possible locations include under a seat in the vehicle. Remember that wherever you mount your equalizer, you will have to run wires to your head unit, or receiver, and amplifier. To run a signal from your stereo receiver to the equalizer and back again, you'll need 2 sets of RCA cable (the same kind that is usually used to connect source components like turntables and CD players). The length of the RCA cables should match the length of the distance between the receiver and the equalizer. Remove your receiver from the dash so that you can access the wires behind. Usually you can pull off the plastic piece covering the dash and then pull the receiver slightly out. Plug the two RCA cables into the receiver’s preamp outputs. Tape them together so they will not come apart. Route the cables through the dash to the equalizer. You should use tape or wire ties along the way to connect the two cables together. Plug the cables into the preamp inputs on your equalizer. Do not mount your equalizer directly to the metal chassis. This will interfere with the sound. It is better to mount the equalizer on a platform or some kind of rubber material to prevent interference. If you must bolt the equalizer directly to the...

Some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) aim to track silver and gold prices and are generally bought through a stockbroker. They are much like derivative contracts that track prices, but they differ in that you will not own the underlying metal assets.   Two examples of ETFs are Market Vectors Gold Miners and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners.  The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF attempts to replicate (before expenses and fees) the yield performance and price of the New York Stock Exchange Arca Gold Miners Index. The portfolio contains gold mining companies of all sizes from around the world. The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF debuted in 2009. This ETF has become quite  popular among investors seeking to have indirect access to gold assets. Although similar to the Gold Miners, the Junior Gold Miners focuses on smaller companies involved in an ongoing search for new sources of gold. Because these companies are less established, there is more risk involved.    Term of Investment: Short term. There is a fee assessed each year that deducts from the amount of gold backing your investment, making this an expensive way to invest.  Nature of Investment: Medium risk. Because a typical ETF investment can be short- term if you prefer, risk can be minimized. Use the same broker you would use to buy stock, a mutual fund, or shares in a gold ETF, such as GLD and IAU on the New York Stock Exchange. A gold exchange-traded fund is designed to track the price of gold while maintaining the liquidity of a stock.  Note that gold exchange-traded funds do not give you the ability to physically control the gold. Therefore, some gold advocates believe this is an inferior way to own the commodity.   Another disadvantage is that ETFs trade like stocks, and you may have to pay a commission to buy and sell on the exchange. Moreover, any capital gains you realize must be reported for tax purposes.

Some expert-made counterfeits won't be easy to tell apart from actual Rolexes. To spot these, you may need to examine the watch's tiny, intricate detail work, which is the hardest part of the watch to fake. To start, try finding your watch's serial number. This will require you to remove the band. You can usually do this by pushing the joint holding the band to the watch out of its place with a thumbtack or similarly-sized object. However, if you're uncomfortable with this, you can also have a professional do it for you. The serial number should be located between the "lugs" at the six o'clock end of the dial.  The lettering on the serial number should be perfect and precise, with fine lines. Some counterfeiters use an acid-etching method which produces serial number markings with a noticeable "sandy" appearance under magnification.  Between the opposite set of lugs, there should be another similar marking. This is the case reference number and will be labeled with the words, "ORIG ROLEX DESIGN."  An original Rolex will have sharp and detailed engraving located between the lugs. Counterfeiters often try to mimic these engraving, the result often appears like the serial number has been roughly etched into the casing. Note that it's possible to look the date of your watch's manufacture up with your serial number — several handy online sources (like this one) can help you here. Starting in the early to mid 2000s, Rolex began etching the trademark crown logo into the crystal of their watch's dials. If your watch was made in the past decade or so, you may be able to see this tiny mark of authenticity. Use a magnifying glass or a jeweler's lens to carefully examine the glass at the six o'clock end of the watch's dial. Look for the Rolex crown logo — the same design as the much larger logo at the opposite end of the dial. The etching you are looking for is very, very small and can be quite tricky to see. You may find that it is easier to see if you shine light at the face of the watch at an angle. Some...

Some eye exercises can relieve stress and can help relax and strengthen your eyes. Although eyestrain doesn't cause glaucoma, people who suffer from glaucoma should reduce strain on their eyes in order to accommodate the low amount of aqueous humour exiting in relation to its production. The great part is these are things you can do at home or anywhere you are as long as you are comfortable. Here are some examples:  Blinking provides a break for our eyes, but is often disregarded due to our heavy and long workloads. This may seem unnecessary to think about, but eyestrain makes this a concern. Blinking helps lubricate your eyes by spreading tear film evenly and can help eyestrain due to eye dryness. Blinking cleanses eyes by mechanically pushing toxins out with tears. You should blink once every four seconds to spread tear film and prevent tired eyes due to dryness. Palming can be done by simply taking your palms and using them to cover your closed eyes for a few minutes. Sit comfortably in a chair with your back straight. Put your elbows on a table — on top of pillow for added comfort. Cup each hand and close eyes. Place the right cupped hand over the right closed eye, and the left cupped hand over the left closed eye. Breathe normally and relax with your palms on your eyes for five to 10 minutes.  Practice tracing figure eights with your eyes. This exercise helps your eye muscles and increases their flexibility. Imagine a horizontal figure eight or infinity sign in front of you. Trace the eight with only your eyes slowly, about ten times, without moving your head. These methods should be done together. As a result of patient's commitment to these exercises, patients can experience less eyestrain. Do these exercises for about 20 minutes a day, four to five times a week, or at the advice of orthoptic specialist. By focusing on objects at different distances, you can provide some relief to eyestrain.  For example, eyestrain can occur when focusing on monitors or screens for long periods of time.  A simple break...

Some fabrics accept dye better than others, so before you try to restore your clothing by dyeing it, take a look at the tag inside the item to see what it's made of. If the item is made from at least 60% natural fibers, like cotton, silk, linen, ramie, or wool, or if it’s made from rayon or nylon, it will probably dye well.  Clothing made from a blend of natural and synthetic fibers may not look as dark when they’re dyed as clothing made from an all-natural fabric. If the garment is made from acrylic, spandex, polyester, or metallic fibers, or if the tag says “Dry Clean Only,” it probably will not take dye well, if at all. If you want your garment to look as good as new, take it with you to a big box store or a craft or fabric store to choose the dye. Try to find the closest match you can, as this will give you the boldest, most natural-looking result. If you want to change the color of your garment, you’ll likely need to use a color stripper first. Cover your workspace with newspaper, tarp, or trash bags, so if any of the dye splashes, it won’t stain your table, counter, or floors. In addition, have some old rags or paper towels nearby just in you need to quickly clean up any spills. Then, put on old clothes and thick gloves so your clothes and skin don’t get stained. It’s important to protect your hands, because coming into contact with dye can irritate your skin. Most household water heaters are set to a maximum temperature of 120 °F (49 °C), although some are set to 140 °F (60 °C), so the hottest water from your tap should be sufficient. However, if you want hotter water, you can heat it on the stove to just below boiling, or about 200 °F (93 °C). Pour the water into a large pot, bucket, or tub, or fill a top-loading machine with water on the hottest setting.  You’ll need about 3 US gal (11 L) of water for every 1 lb (0.45 kg) of clothing. A bucket or pot is good for smaller items like thin tops, accessories, and children’s clothes. Use a plastic tub or washing machine for larger items like sweaters and...

Some foods take longer than others to cook. Specifically, larger and thicker foods will need longer than thinner and smaller foods. To prevent large food from undercooking and small food from overcooking, separate the food and cook it separately. Starchy vegetables like potatoes and sweet potatoes tend to need the longest cooking time, followed by meat, and then smaller vegetables need the shortest time. You can decrease the time a food needs to cook in the microwave by cutting it into smaller portions. Large chunks of meat, for instance, will cook faster if you cut them into strips or smaller portions first. Foods you may want to chop before cooking include potatoes (unless you're baking them), other large vegetables, and large cuts of meat. Foods that have skins can hold in steam, and if there's nowhere for the steam to vent, the food may pop open or splatter. To prevent this, use a fork or sharp knife to poke a few holes in foods with skins, including:  Sausages Potatoes Sweet potatoes Hot dogs Find a microwave-safe dish or plate for cooking. Spread the food out in a single layer with the thickest part of the food facing away from the center of the dish. This will ensure even cooking time, because food around the outer edges will cook faster than food closer to the center.  Microwave-safe dishes will be labeled as such, but glass and ceramic are usually safe to microwave, even if they aren't labelled.  Don’t microwave metal containers or utensils. For microwave dishes that have lids, put the lid on the dish and leave a crack open for steam to escape. Otherwise, cover the dish with a damp towel or paper towel. Covering food in a microwave is important for a number of reasons, including that it:  Helps to ensure even cooking Keeps the food moist and prevents it from drying out  Prevents the food from splattering Close the door of the microwave. To set the microwave, you may have to select Cook Time, then set the timer, and then press Start. Cook small vegetables in one-minute intervals, larger veggies in...

Some friendships are brief and others last a lifetime. Helping a friend through a struggle such as drug addiction is one way to make a friendship stronger. As relationships build, you tend to care more about the person. When a crisis occurs, you naturally want to help him.  Show up when he needs you and listen to what he has to say. There are reasons this person is abusing drugs. Listening may allow him to express thoughts and feelings that will eventually help him and you to understand the root cause of the addiction.  Be respectful, loyal and reliable. Expressing one’s feelings is a brave thing to do, and it can feel risky as well. You can acknowledge this by saying, “I know this might be hard for you and I am honored you are sharing this information. I respect you for doing this. I’m here if you ever want to talk.” Helping a person with a drug addiction may be the most difficult, time consuming thing you will ever do, but the most rewarding. Being listened to and understood are key components to personal growth. The emotional experience of dealing with a drug addiction will force a person to grow, which may be painful. You can help ease the person's pain by actively listening.  Put yourself in the person’s shoes. Learn to be compassionate and accepting rather than judging the person. It might be difficult to understand, but you can always try. Treat the person like you would like to be treated. You have probably experienced struggles in your life and know what was helpful to you, and what wasn’t. It is hard to watch someone suffer or make poor decisions that negatively impact his life. At some point, you will have to tell the person you are concerned about his well-being. He may want to listen to what you have to say, but he may not. This is okay because you are being genuine and you are demonstrating that you care.  Ask permission to get involved. If a person is in the throes of addiction he may not realize he needs help, but might be open to it. You can say things like, “It seems like you are struggling...

Some girls aren't great at slaying a crowd with one-liners and well-timed anecdotes. To play up your humor, the simplest, most effective way is to just be silly. It shows you're happy, fun, and that you don't take life too seriously. Here are some ideas:  Go for physical humor. Make funny faces, pretend you're stuck in slow-motion, hop on him for a piggyback ride (if that's cool, of course), or start a well-meaning food fight. Put on a show. Do a foreign accent or pretend you're him -- lightly mocking him as a form of flirting, of course. React to him in silly ways. Are you snuggled up against him? Start purring like a cat! When he says, "Oops, sorry, I drank your last soda," you respond with, "THAT'S IT. I'M MOVING TO CANADA." And then you smile and launch into how excited you are to play hockey and watch the beavers. . There is nothing better than someone who is truly genuine and comfortable with themselves. If you can be you, you're showing him that he can be him with nothing to worry about. The humor will come naturally when you're both happy and relaxed!  Don't worry about being funny enough for him! If you're light-hearted and enjoy having fun, he'll enjoy having fun with you. Don't worry about the impression you're making. Do what makes you happy and he'll probably want to join in. If you're trying to be funny, it'll come across that you're trying to be funny. Be natural and let the conversation flow naturally. The humor will come! . Sure, once in a while you get the person who can pull off being absolutely hilarious because they're so dry, cynical, sarcastic, and a little dark and twisty, but generally you want to be around those people in small doses. We live often crave being around people who are bright and cheery because it's contagious. They make us bright and cheery (and bright and cheery often means funnier), bringing out a side of us we feel confident about. He can't not love it. When we're optimistic, everything is a bit brighter. When everything is a bit brighter, it's easier to crack jokes...

Some great fabrics to use would be satin, velvet, nylon, cotton, vinyl, or grosgrain. You can choose whichever material you like best.  Consider how stiff you want your bow to be when picking out the ribbon. If you want your bow to pop-up, use a firmer material like grosgrain or vinyl. There are many types of hair clips, ties, and headbands available, and ribbon can be attached to almost all of them. All you will need to attach your ribbon to your hair accessory is a hot glue gun or fabric glue.

Some guys don’t mind not having the nicest things, some don’t care about the necessities, and others may not have the money to buy everything they need. This might be a new pair of shoes because his old ones have holes, or a new cellphone because his screen is cracked.  Getting a gift that he needs might not have the same “wow” factor as buying something he wants, but it’s likely to get a lot of use. If his apartment needs repairs, some tools or a toolbox is a great gift. Even if the guy doesn’t admit that he needs anything, his friends or family might be more realistic. People who are personally close to the guy, especially those living with him, will have a good idea for things that he needs. Asking people the guy lives with will also prevent you from buying something he already has. Talking with your guy will give you good insight into what he needs. Try to not be too forward when you ask him what he needs so he won’t be offended. Instead, listen when you talk to him, and ask him questions to discover if he’s missing anything. Some guys are more open than others. If you really can’t figure it out by talking to him, you may be able to be more direct and just ask him if he needs anything for his apartment or house. Many people have a limited budget when it comes to buying gifts for friends. Because of this, it’s always good to compare prices online and in department stores. Try to always go for the highest quality item, for whatever you are trying to get, so the guy will be impressed. If this isn’t in your budget then you should choose another gift.  Sometimes you’ll find the perfect gift in a place you wouldn’t expect like an outdoor market. Getting the best price for the item will not only save you money, but will ensure you can upgrade to the best quality gift. If all else fails and you're not sure what to get, you can always get him a gift card. Think of what he likes to do and where he usually shops, and aim for a gift card from that store. Determine how close you are with him, how much you have to...

Some hand-knit hats, especially those made with wool, can get damaged by the motion of the washer. To prevent this from happening, place these hats in a pillowcase, netted intimates bag, or washable garment back. Close the bag by its drawstring or tie the top if it doesn't have one. This will prevent your hat from falling out, which is especially important if you're doing a small load. Be careful which knit items you choose to wash using this method. If your hat is made from acrylic, superwash wool, or cotton yarn, then it is likely to be fine in the washer. However, wool that is not specifically labeled as "superwash" or otherwise machine-washable may felt in a washer, ruining your garment. Knits are more likely to felt in an under-loaded washer. Although your laundry bag should protect your hat, the bag may end up undone during the wash cycle. Make sure that the other items are of like colors. Ideally these items should be knit, as well. Allow the washer to fill with cold water. Pause the machine before the agitation cycle begins and add your garments. If you have a front-loading washer, go ahead and load your laundry as normal before starting. While it isn't ideal, your hat is likely to be fine. If you're washing wool items, a specialty wool detergent works best. These detergents often contain lanolin, which will condition your wool to decrease static and increase water resistance. If you aren't washing wool or you can't find a specialty detergent, use any mild liquid detergent that is free of bleach and other harsh chemicals. Do not re-start your washer. Allow the load to soak for at least one hour. Especially-soiled items may need to be left overnight. Don't be alarmed if your wool items float to the top at first. They will eventually take on enough water and sink back down on their own. " This will put your garments through what is normally the last part in a wash cycle. The washer will very mildly agitate its contents before draining off the soapy water. The spin cycle will also work to partially dry...

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense and provide no warning signs or tell-tale symptoms. However, in most cases, there are at least subtle clues that usually get rationalized or marginalized. Early warning signs of heart disease include high blood pressure, sensation of chronic heartburn, reduced cardiovascular fitness and a vague feeling of malaise or being unwell. These symptoms may start many days or weeks before the heart muscle gets damaged enough to become dysfunctional.   Symptoms in women are particularly hard to recognize and are ignored or missed even more often. Major risk factors for heart disease, heart attack and stroke include: high blood cholesterol levels, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, cigarette smoking and advancing age (65 years and older).  A heart attack doesn't always lead to cardiac arrest (complete heart stoppage), but cardiac arrest is always indicative of heart attack. Most heart attacks do not occur suddenly or "out of the blue." Instead, they typically start slowly with mild chest pain or discomfort that builds over many hours or even days. The chest pain (often described as intense pressure, squeezing or achiness) is located in the center of the chest and can be constant or intermittent. Other common common symptoms of heart attack include: shortness of breath, cold sweats (with pale or ashen skin), dizziness or lightheadedness, moderate-to-severe fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain and a sensation of severe indigestion.  Not all people who experience heart attacks have the same symptoms or the same severity of symptoms — there's lots of variability. Some people also report feeling a sense of "doom" or "impending death" that is unique to the heart attack experience. Most people experiencing a heart attack (even a mild one) will collapse to the ground, or at least fall against something for support. Other common causes of chest pain don't typically lead to sudden collapse. In addition to the tell-tale symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath and cold sweats, there are some...

Some kids have the balance and physical skills to ride a bike by age 4, and most do by age 6. But each child is different, so wait until your kid seems physically agile enough to handle balancing on a bike. Some kids may take a bit longer to be emotionally ready to teeter along on a bike, and that’s okay as well. Don’t rush or force them; encourage them instead, and start training when the time is right. For most kids around age 5, a bike with 14 to 16 in (36 to 41 cm) wheels is ideal. When they straddle the seat, their feet should be flat on the ground with their legs straight. Training on a bike that’s too big or too small will only delay the process. This may sound a bit strange at first, but taking off the pedals lets kids focus first on balancing on the bike during forward movement. They’ll just push off and stop by using their feet on the ground.  You’ll typically just need a wrench to take the pedals off, but follow the instructions that come with your bike. You can also buy “coasting” or “balance” bikes that come without pedals, but this is typically an unnecessary expense. When you add training wheels, kids learn the components that tend to be easier for them first — pedaling, steering, and braking. But this leaves the hard part — balancing — for them to learn all of a sudden right at the end.  If you work on balancing first, the other elements will seem like a piece of cake later on. If you really prefer to use training wheels, however, try not to use them for more than a week or two. Otherwise, the child will learn riding habits that they’ll have to unlearn to ride without training wheels. Sidewalks and streets offer too many distractions and potential dangers to make ideal training grounds. Instead, look for an empty parking lot on flat ground. A level grass field may seem tempting because it will cushion falls, but grass is usually too difficult for smaller kids to get moving in — either by foot or pedal power. The ground is also much bumpier than a typical parking lot. Choose a helmet that is...

Some kids will master biking in an hour, but it will take several sessions for others. If they’re losing confidence or interest during a training session, call it quits for now and try again later in the day or the next day. Some kids may be eager to practice for hours on end until they get the hang of it, but most often you should plan for single sessions to last for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Help your kid learn to ride at the pace that’s right for them. Trying to force them or shame them into learning quickly may turn them against the entire notion of learning to ride. Don’t say things like:  “All your friends ride bikes, so it’s time you learned too.” “Your sister learned to ride in an hour, and so can you.” “We’re going to stay out here all day until you learn this.” “You want to be a big kid, right? Well, big kids ride bikes.” Learning to ride a bike should be fun, not a chore. Praise them every time they achieve a new milestone along the way, and offer a pick-me-up whenever they struggle or fall. Say things like:  “That’s the way to hold the bike steady — good job!” “Wow, you really coasted a long way that time — and straight ahead!” “You did a good job catching yourself from falling off the bike that time. Try not to turn the handlebars so sharply next time.” “We’ll be ready to bike together to the ice cream shop soon!” Some kids simply respond better to a teacher who isn’t a parent. If they’re close with a relative or family friend who’d be happy to help out, let them give it a try.  Don’t feel bad — remember that the goal is to get them riding. Once they do that, you can go on lots of bike rides together!
