People love talking about themselves, so he’ll get a big confidence boost if you show an interest in what he has to say. Get him talking by asking him questions. Then, listen to his response. Nod along as he talks and paraphrase what he said back to him.  You might ask, “What are your plans for the summer?” “What did you do last weekend?” or “What kind of music does your favorite band play?” If you're still in school, ask questions about your assignments, like "Which topic did you choose for the research project?" or "Are you going to the school play auditions this year?" Guys will be attracted to your intelligence, so don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Open up to him by telling him your ideas and opinions. Just keep things positive by not engaging in an argument.  Talk about the books you've read and current events. If you're in school, you might comment about the topics you're studying. You could say, "I think it's interesting that the book we're studying in English class relates to what we're studying in history class." It’s okay to disagree about things. Make peace by acknowledging the difference and changing the subject. If he has a different opinion than you, say, “It’s always interesting to hear someone else's take on things. Did you watch the game on Friday?” Look for reasons to compliment him whenever you’re around him. Tell him what you like about his look, his achievements, and his personality. This will show him that you notice him, which will draw his attention. You might say, “Your hair looks really cool today,” or “Awesome presentation this morning.” Everyone likes feeling needed, so asking for help is a great way to connect with someone. Plus, it gives you a reason to talk to him. Choose a small favor or task that you know he can help with. Then, ask if he’ll give you a hand.  Say, “Can you help me set up for the meeting today?” “Will you show me how to put this together,” or “Will you help me collect donations for the local animal shelter?"

People often concentrate on keeping their hairlines stain-free, but forget about their hands. It’s easy to avoid blue fingers and nails if you wear simple disposable gloves. Wear gloves the whole time you apply the dye, and even the first few times you wash your newly colored hair.  Many hair dye kits come with gloves to make the process easier. Don’t wear latex gloves if you’re allergic! There are plenty of latex-free alternatives available. Ideally, you should wear a long-sleeved, high-necked shirt when you dye your hair. Cover as much skin as you can, to protect against drips that can cause stained skin. Once you’ve been doing this for a while, you’ll probably have a designated dye shirt that you wear every time you color. To offer your neck some extra protection, swaddle it in a hand towel that no one will get mad at you for staining. Pull it tightly, and secure with a duckbill or binder clip. This will prevent hair dye from dripping down onto your neck and staining it. No matter how carefully you cover your skin, accidents can happen. If dye does land on your face or neck, wipe it off as soon as you notice, using a rubbing alcohol-soaked cotton ball. Then, rinse with water.  It’s best to keep rubbing alcohol and cotton balls handy as you color your hair. Most people have a small mess-up or two. If you get a giant blob on your neck, remove the bulk of it with a paper towel or toilet paper, then use the cotton ball and rubbing alcohol to get the last of it off. If you’re working out, going out in the rain, or in any other circumstance where your freshly-dyed hair could get damp, put it up in a ponytail or bun. Otherwise, residual dye could sneak out and stain your neck or even your shirt. Once you’ve washed your hair a few times, you can relax this rule.

People often concentrate the hardest on what they like. While figuring out what brings you joy or pleasure is important, it is also helpful to know what causes you unhappiness or dissatisfaction. One of the first steps of self-reflection is sitting down and developing a list of all the things you like and all those you dislike.  Your likes and dislikes are often how you describe yourself to others. These are things that may separate us or relate us to those around us. Understanding these things helps you to know what you want to move toward in life and what you want to stay away from. Knowing your likes and dislikes can guide your career choices, where you live, your hobbies, and what kind of people you surround yourself with. Use this activity to see if your likes and dislikes are too rigid. Have you been placing yourself in a box? Is there something that you would like to do or try that is outside of what you think you should be on paper? Build up the courage to try something totally new. You might unveil a different side of yourself. . Just as likes and dislikes can give you incredible insight into who you are, so can understanding the things you're good at and not-so-good at. On a separate piece of paper, create a list of strengths and challenges.  For most people, strengths or talents may also overlap with their likes, and challenges may overlap with their dislikes. Let's say you like cupcakes, cookies, and pastries and a strength of yours is baking - the two are aligned. On the other hand, you might dislike sports and a challenge of yours is physical coordination or endurance. In many cases, the things that are challenges may become things you dislike because you are not naturally good at them. This tells the why of what you do or don't like. Simply knowing these things is meaningful in itself. However, you can dig deeper and decide if you want to work to improve on any of the things you find challenging, or if you want to focus your energy on things you are already good at.

People often develop crushes based on perceptions, but they sometimes do not actually know their crushes very well. However, it is important to get to know your crush first to determine if you truly want to attempt a relationship with that person.  Ask mutual friends to introduce you. Strike up conversation with him in social group settings, where other people are around. Find things that you have in common with him, like hobbies or interests. While you get to know him, it is important to have other people around as a buffer.  If you are suddenly overcome with shyness, there are other people around to bring into the conversation so that the pressure is off of you. Being in a group setting gives you a way to distance yourself if you realize that your crush is not the type of person you want to date, after all. Before trying to figure out how to express your feelings to your crush, learn how to be his/her friend first. Take information you learn about him as you get to know each other and build your friendship around those commonalities.  Accept offers to hang out with your crush or go to a party or event where he will be, whenever possible. If it is challenging for you to put yourself in social situations, then accept one offer and attend. Stay for as long as you comfortably can, without causing yourself too much stress and social anxiety. Practice this again, maybe once every few weeks, to help yourself become more comfortable.  Share stories with him when you come across something that reminded you of him. For example, you could say, “I saw that your favorite band is going on tour soon. Are you going to try to go to a concert?” Keep interactions casual. Be friendly and as outgoing as you feel comfortable, but remember that creating small talk, even when you feel shy, gives off the impression that you are friendly and approachable. One tip is to prepare a mental list of recent events or experiences you have had that you feel comfortable discussing, like a book you read or a restaurant where you ate. Each...

People often empty their pockets in their bedroom, which means under your bed and bedside furniture is a great first place to look. Of course, sofa cushions and chair cushions are another great place for loose change to be found. Check under and around all the furniture in your house. Don't forget about your washing machine and dryer. People often leave money in their clothes on accident and then wash them, leaving coins and cash in and around the washing machine and dryer. It's no strange occurrence to occasionally find money in the pair of pants you're wearing that you had completely forgotten about. So do yourself a favor and seek out all the forgotten money now. Go through all your pants and jacket pockets for money. And while you're at it, go through any purses and bags you use as well. Anywhere you sit down regularly is a prime location to look for lost change. Make a sweep through your car, under the seats and in the seat cushions. Coins tend to collect in places that are frequented often but never thoroughly looked through.

People tend to be attracted to people who are fun to be around. If you're trying to attract someone, try to relax and have fun with them.  Be open to being silly around the person you want to attract. Do not be afraid to make goofy jokes while watching a movie, for example. Be open to adventure. If the person you're trying to attract wants to go out and get dinner, for example, go along for the ride and try to enjoy yourself. People are attracted to those who are confident in themselves. When you're around someone you want to attract, try to have some self confidence. Do things that make you appear confident, such as sharing your opinions and personality without hesitance. If you have issues with self confidence, find ways to work on them. You can try engaging in an activity to boost confidence, like working out regularly.

When you're around someone you want to attract, work on making that person laugh. Do not be afraid to crack jokes or make humorous comments about your surroundings. If you have any funny anecdotes, try sharing those as well. If you're unsure how to be funny, work on cultivating your sense of humor. You can watch stand up routines online or listen to funny radio shows or podcasts. If you immerse yourself in humorous material, you will learn how to be funny yourself. If you're attracted to someone, you may be inclined to lean on them and flatter them to get attention. However, people are actually attracted to people who are more independent.

People tend to be influenced by their surroundings and the opinions of others. Maybe someone made an unkind remark about your nose to you one day, or you suddenly noticed an imperfection on your nose that bothers you. Or, you are focusing on the noses of others, like those of your friends or a famous model. Write down your thoughts about your nose. Ask yourself what it is you dislike about your nose. Is it too long, too big, too small, too square, too round? This will help you identify what judgments you’re making about yourself. Unfortunately, people can say unkind things to you, even people close to you like friends or family. One of the first steps to combatting negative body image is recognizing who is saying unkind words to you. Because these are likely people you trust, you are probably taking their words to heart. Consider the extent to which you may be influenced by society’s expectations and ideas about the perfect nose. You also may be hyper-aware of noses in magazines, online, and on TV. This might be when you're around your parents or your close friends. Or when you doing an activity or sport that you love, as you are not focusing on your nose at all. You might feel comfortable around certain people because you know they accept and love you, including your nose. They see all of your beautiful aspects. Keep this in mind as you go out into the world. There are people who accept you for who you are and what you look like. Often, negative thoughts come from imagining the most extreme or worst case scenario. Focusing just on your nose and making it the centerpiece of your life is an extreme behavior. There are so many other aspects of you that make you the way you are. For example, extreme thinking would be if you feel like you need to layer on a lot of makeup to downplay your nose before going out in public. In reality, people will likely not notice your nose at all.

People who are considered attention seekers tend to behave in ways that are inauthentic. They do things for attention, rather than simply being or expressing who they really are. Doing something creative is a great way to express yourself authentically, and practice being yourself. You can choose any form that you want, including painting, writing, making music, singing, or practicing a craft.  If you’ve never done something creative before, don’t be afraid. Try something that interests you, even if you don’t know if you’ll be any good at it. Remember that you’re doing this for you. Practice expressing yourself creatively without worrying what others will think, or planning to show off what you make. Social media can often be misused by people who are seeking attention. It’s okay to use social media to make plans with friends and stay on top of current events. However, if you notice that you’re using it just to get attention, you should reconsider before you post.  Notice if most of your posts seem like bragging, or like showing off. Notice if your posts often express feeling sorry for yourself, or seem like you’re fishing for compliments or support. An attention-seeking post could be, "Always having the most fun with the coolest friends in the world!!", whereas you could instead post a picture of your friends and write, "So grateful to have such great friends in my life." If you need support, instead of writing something like, "Worst day of anyone's life, ever. I totally want to crawl into a hole and die right now," you could write, "I had a really terrible day today. Is anyone available to talk? I could use some company." It’s okay to ask directly for support with social media. However, be clear that you’re asking for support, and keep the conversation private once someone offers. When you’re always seeking attention, most of your focus is on yourself. In order to shift this, try focusing on others. There are many ways to do this. You can spend time with people you care about, volunteer, or even spend time...

People who are naturally loud do not possess this important skill. So, the next time you’re in a situation where you’re just dying to say something, pause, take a moment, and ask yourself if what you have to say will really help the situation. Will you be giving people information that they need, making people laugh, or offering words of comfort, or will you be saying something just to be heard? If you don’t think anyone will actually benefit from what you have to say, then keep it to yourself. One rule to follow when you’re starting off is to say one of every two things you’re thinking. As you work on being more quiet, then you can say one of every three things, or one of every four things. Don’t ever interrupt a person while he or she is talking unless you think what you have to say is crucial to the conversation. (Let’s face it. – When is that ever the case?) Not only is it rude to interrupt people, but it will disrupt the flow of the conversation and will make you appear  loudmouth. If you really have a comment to make or a question to ask, then make a note of it and wait until the other person is done talking to see if what you have to say is still relevant. You’d be surprised by how many of your questions will get answered anyway if you just let people talk. If you’re working on being more quiet, then chances are that you tend to talk on and on about yourself or the things that really interest you instead of letting other people share their ideas. So, the next time you’re having a conversation and it’s your turn to speak, ask people questions to gain insight about the topic you’re discussing and to learn more about them – from what their hobbies are to what they like to do for fun. You don’t have to make it sound like an interrogation or ask questions that make people uncomfortable. Keep things light, friendly, and polite and remember that conversation, in large part, is more about saying that you care about and are interested in the other person's thoughts, feelings, and point of view and less about...

People who attempt suicide are more likely to be suffering from a serious mental condition like depression or anxiety. Know that there is help for you. If your suicidal feelings were brought on by a specific event, like the grief of being jilted, job loss, or becoming disabled, remember that this kind of situational depression can still be helped by treatment. If you are religious and have access to a spiritual leader, try talking to him/her. Some people prefer talking to people of faith than one trained primarily in psychology. Those called to religious ministry are trained in helping people in crisis, including individuals in despair who may be suicidal. If this is something that you believe in, a spiritual leader can help you ease the pain by offering a new perspective and giving you some things to think about. There are support groups, both online and in your community, where you can find comfort by talking to other people who have suicidal thoughts or who have attempted suicide. To find a support group, you can ask your mental health professional for information about group meetings, or look online for groups in your local area. The most important thing to remember is that no matter why this is happening, you are not alone. Reach out to people who are there for you and who understand how it feels, and want to help. If you're looking for a good place to start, try getting in touch with one of the following services:  Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (1-800-799-4TTY).

People who become prodigies are open to learning throughout their lives. Look for opportunities to learn, grow, and change everywhere you go. This can help you develop the skills necessary to becoming a prodigy.  Stay humble. Humility is key to learning. No matter what successes you have professionally, keep in mind there is always more to learn in your field. Keep pursuing higher levels of mastery and education.  Develop an autodidactic attitude. Spend your free time reading up on your chosen field, practicing your craft, and working on developing new skills. Look for opportunities to learn around you. If you want to become a musical prodigy, attend every concert you can and listen to the music actively. Pay attention to technique, performance, melody, rhythm. If you want to be a poet, go to poetry readings and pay attention to the use of symbolism and language. Prodigies tend to have exceptional memories. If you want to become a prodigy, take steps to improve your memory.  Repeat and write down new information. When you meet someone, say their name in your head when you shake their hand. When trying to remember a snippet of information, jot it down in a notebook or on a piece of paper. Also, seek to understand any information you record. It's very hard to recall information you do not understand.  Reduce your overall level of stress. Being stressed out can cause lapses in memory. Take breaks at work. Practice meditation.

People who engage in unsavory behavior, such as talking behind a friend’s back, usually feel insecure in some way. If someone you know is talking about you behind your back, know that it usually means more about that person’s character than it does about yours. Try to take the high road and ignore the person doing this. You don’t have to dignify their behavior with your attention. It can help you feel reassured to hang out with trusted friends or family members you know love and care for you. If you feel bad about something you’ve done or don’t know a new acquaintance well, it can be easy to imagine things that aren’t actually happening. Don’t let yourself get carried away imagining someone is talking behind your back if there is no evidence to support that idea. If you’re feeling paranoid, a few deep breaths or a calming walk can help clear your head. If you’re feeling guilty, it may be helpful to reflect on your behavior to examine what’s not sitting right with you. Whether you’ve accidentally hurt a friend or knowingly done something unkind, your actions may encourage people to talk about you if they feel wronged. Reflect on what you could have done differently, if you’ve done anything wrong at all. Sometimes people talk about you behind your back even when you haven’t done anything to deserve it. If you’ve done nothing to bring on the person talking about you behind your back, you may want to stop the behavior by talking directly to them. Be honest without being cruel, even if you feel the other person is out of line. Ask that they treat you with the respect you deserve in your friendship or working relationship. You might say, “I think you’re talking about me behind my back, and I really don’t appreciate it. If you have a problem with me, let’s sort it out directly. We need to work together, and we both deserve respect.

People who have hurt you by betraying your trust or being overly critical can and often should be ignored.  People who have actually hurt you physically or emotionally do not deserve to be let off so easy. Yes, you should absolutely cut off contact with someone who has physically or emotionally abused you.  But do not hesitate to contact the proper authorities if you feel unsafe or believe this is a pattern of behavior likely to be repeated. There is a fine line to walk here.  You should never feel like you deserve to be mistreated, but you can consider what role you may have played in another’s lack of concern or care.  For instance, you shouldn’t blame yourself for your boyfriend cheating on you, but you can examine how your jealousy, lack of attention, or some other factor may have given him an excuse to justify his hurtfulness. People seek out the type of relationships they had in their childhood, even if they weren't productive relationships. This process is mostly subconscious.

People will either have normal, oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin. While model skin can be achieved regardless of the skin type that you have, your skin care routine should vary based on your type.  Tailoring your skin care routine to your skin will ensure that your skin looks as good as possible. Once you  determine your skin type, you can choose the products that are best for your skin.  Normal skin is neither particularly oily nor particularly dry. It is characterized by small pores, few imperfections, and no severe sensitivity. People with normal skin can use a wide range of skincare products. Oily skin is characterized by shiny skin and overly dilated pores.  This skin type is more prone to acne. If you have oily skin, you will want to use water-based or oil-free cosmetics, and you may want to consult a dermatologist about creams that can limit the production of oil.  Dry skin is characterized by lack of moisture and often exhibits red patches, dull and/or rough complexion, less elasticity, and more visible lines. If you have dry skin, you will need to use mild and gentle cleansers, apply a rich moisturizer, and avoid washing you face with very hot water.  Combination skin is skin that is dry in some areas, but oily in others. A common place to be oily is in the “T-zone”, which consists of the nose, forehead, and chin. In contrast, skin is often dry on the cheeks. Combination skin exhibits large pores, blackheads, and shiny skin. If you have combination skin, you will want to look at treating the dry and oily regions separately.  Sensitive skin is skin that reacts to ingredients commonly included in commercial skincare products. This hyper-reactive skin often appears red. It is not necessarily considered a skin type, but instead is a common symptom. People with sensitive skin should use fragrance-free and hypo-allergenic skincare products. For the best results, use a mild, non-detergent cleanser. Many models choose to wash their faces with products that include gentle, plant-derived surfactants,...

People will naturally talk to those who listen. Everyone wants to feel important and heard, so if you want people to talk to you give them your full attention. Make sure you always listen when someone is talking.  Try to follow the rule, "Listen first, talk second," after starting the conversation. Once you open things up, let the person share their input completely before interjecting. Show that you're listening by maintaining eye contact and nodding on occasion. You can also say things like, "Mmhm.." to convey interest. Questions are a great way to keep a conversation going. If there seems to be a lull in conversation, push it forward with a few questions.  Try asking about something someone just said. For example, "That's interesting. What was it like going to school in a big city?" You can also bring up a new topic through a question. Think about something that would be appropriate to introduce given the situation. For example, if you're talking to someone at school, say something like, "What did you think of that chemistry exam?" People will not want to talk to you if you simply bombard them with questions. People are uncomfortable talking to people who ask a lot about others but share little about themselves. Make sure you divulge information about yourself so people will want to talk to you.  Try to make a pattern between asking questions and sharing information. For example, you ask someone how they're enjoying a book they're reading. After they share, make a comment about something you've recently read. You should also be willing to answer any questions someone asks you in return. If you seem like you're withholding information, people may become nervous and not want to talk to you.

People with chronic asthma may wheeze occasionally and require the use of their asthma medication to control symptoms. An attack is different in that it results in more severe symptoms which last longer and require immediate attention. Early symptoms that an attack may be imminent include:   Itchy neck Feeling irritable or short-tempered Feeling nervous or edgy Fatigue Dark circles under the eyes An asthma attack can deteriorate into a life-threatening situation that requires immediate medical attention. Know how to identify an asthma attack so that you can begin treatment as soon as possible. Although signs and symptoms of an asthma attack vary depending on the person, the most common symptoms include:  Wheezing or whistling while breathing. Most often the wheezing is heard when a person is breathing out (exhaling) but can sometimes also be heard when they are breathing in (inhaling).  Coughing. Some sufferers may cough in an attempt to clear the airway and get more oxygen into their lungs. This may be especially aggravated at night.  Shortness of breath. People suffering from asthma attacks will complain of being short of breath. They may be breathing in short shallow breaths that appear to be faster than normal.  Chest tightness. Attacks are often accompanied by a feeling that chest feels tight or that there is pain on the left or right side.  Low peak expiratory flow (PEF) readings. If the person uses a peak flow meter, a small device that measures the maximum speed of expiration in order to monitor a person's ability to exhale air, and the measurements range from 50% to 79% of your personal best, this is indicative of an asthma flare-up. Children will often have the same symptoms as adults with asthma, such as wheezing or whistling when breathing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness or pain.  Fast breathing is common in an asthma attack in children. Children may show 'retractions' where you can see their neck pulling, belly breathing, or their ribs when they breathe. In some children a chronic cough...

Pepper spray is an oil-based substance which causes severe irritation to your eyes and skin. If you get pepper spray in your eyes, resist the temptation to touch your face or rub your eyes. Touching your face will just spread the oil around and increase the affected area.  Don't touch your face, but do tear up your eyes by blinking a lot. Blinking produces liquid that helps start the process of flushing the spray residue from your eyes. If you are wearing contact lenses when you get pepper spray in your eyes, take these out immediately. The spray residues will stick to the lenses and continue to irritate your eyes. Throw the lenses away. Even cleaning them will not remove the residue.  After taking out your lenses, submerge your face in cool, clean water. Open and close your eyes underwater several times. Even if you manage to flush out your eyes, the symptoms may persist. Irritation to the eyes can continue anywhere from 30 minutes to over two hours. Inflammation of the throat lining can also cause breathing difficulties for up to an hour.  If your symptoms are particularly severe or last longer than this, you should go to a hospital or walk-in centre. If you have asthma, pepper spray can cause serious breathing difficulties and you should get emergency medical treatment.

Pepper spray leaves an oily residue on your skin and in your eyes which you need to clean off as quickly as possible. The most straightforward way to do this is just by flushing your face and eyes with cool water. You should do this for at least fifteen minutes.  After doing this, keep the affected areas open to the air. Being exposed to the air helps the irritant evaporate after you've flushed your eyes with water. If you have access to a sink or drinking fountain use this. Otherwise, use any clean water you can get hold of. You can also stand under a cold shower to rinse off. Flushing your face and eyes with water can help to wash off the oily pepper spray residue. To help remove it from your skin, you can add some mild, non-oil-based soap or dish detergent. Make a solution of one quarter mild detergent with three quarters cool water.  Keeping your eyes firmly shut, dip your face into the solution for twenty seconds. Rinse off your face and repeat ten times. Refresh the solution after each rinse, so you are not putting your face back into pepper spray water.  Don't get soap into your eyes. It will only further irritate them. There may be some oily residue left in your eyes after the burning sensation has begun to subside. To tackle this you can use some saline eye drops to flush out any final irritants. Just apply a few drops directly to your eyes and blink continuously.  You can buy these drops in drug stores, supermarkets and pharmacies. Remember not to rub your eyes even after doing this.

Percussion instruments are considered one of the oldest forms of musical instrument. Most are used to create and keep rhythm, although a few can play the melody or create harmonies.  Percussion instruments that produce sound by vibrating their entire bodies are called idiophones. These include instruments that are struck together, such as cymbals and castanets and those that are struck by something else, such as steel drums, triangles, and xylophones. Percussion instruments with a “skin” or “head” that vibrates when struck are called membranophones. These include drums such as the timpani, tom-tom, and bongo, as well as instruments that attach a string or stick to the membrane that vibrates it when pulled or rubbed, such as the lion’s roar or cuica. Woodwind instruments produce sound by vibrating when blown. Most include tone holes to change the pitch of the sound they produce, thus making them suited for playing melodies and harmonies. Woodwinds are divided into two types: flutes, which produce sound by making the entire instrument body vibrate, and reed pipes, which vibrate material placed inside the instrument. These are further divided into two sub-types.  Open flutes produce sound by splitting an airstream blown over the edge of the instrument. Concert flutes and panpipes are types of open flute. Closed flutes channel air through a duct in the instrument to split it and make the instrument vibrate. The recorder and organ pipes are types of closed flute. Single-reed instruments place a reed into the instrument mouthpiece. When blown into, the reed vibrates the air inside the instrument to produce sound. Clarinets and saxophones are examples of single-reed instruments. (Although a saxophone’s body is made of brass, it is considered a woodwind instrument because it uses a reed to make its sound.) Double-reed instruments use two cane reeds bound together at one end instead of a single reed. Instruments such as the oboe and bassoon put the double reed directly between the player’s lips, while instruments like...

Perform an intense workout half an hour before you need to take a shower. You're much more likely to be in favor of a shower if you're sweaty and uncomfortable. Think about how refreshed you'll feel once you're done, or at least how much worse you'll feel (and what people will think) if you don't wash off.  Strenuous exercise dampens your clothes, makes your skin and hair a greasy mess and causes you to smell bad. Taking a cold or lukewarm shower will help cool you off after a tough workout. If you have a business meeting, dinner plans or an important event to attend that you need to look your best for, let it get down to the wire so that you have to get in the shower before you can finish getting ready. The closer it gets to time to leave, the more necessary it will be for you to clean up, until you just don't have a choice anymore.  Keep in mind that you might make a bad impression if other people can tell that you haven't bathed. Finding compelling reasons to get things done is often more motivating than just feeling like you should. Persuade a sibling or close friend to nag you about showering every chance they get. You can get them to ask “have you showered today?” or even scold you for your stubbornness so that you'll feel guilty or embarrassed if you don't get it done. Instruct your helper to be as intrusive and annoying as they need to be in order to push you. Eventually, you'll be eager to rinse off just to shut them up.  If you're really serious about getting a friend to help keep you accountable, hand over the money in your wallet and tell them not to give it back to you until you've showered.  It can be tough to do what you need to do when you're the only one watching, but bringing a respected elder or authority figure into the mix can compel you to shape up by causing you to fear the consequences of disappointing them. Schedule a series of alarms on your phone that will direct you to shower when they go off. If you tend to be forgetful, this will help remind you that you haven't done it yet. If...

Performing often will increase your confidence in front of a mic, and expose you to various audience settings. You can start out small with joining church choirs or acapella troupes, singing at bars and nightclubs, or simply performing at karaoke night. Starting out with small performances is a good place to begin before moving onto bigger gigs, but there are other ways that you can perform too. Use the college directory to contact the events department, and see if you can perform at gathering on campus. For example, colleges often look for singers to perform the National Anthem at their varsity sports games. Some artists and songwriters in your area might need singers to sing backup on their demo. Ask around and reach out to these artist and ask if they looking for any extra singers. If they need an example of how you sing, send them your demo or set up a time and place where you can perform a song for them. If someone agrees to let you sing on their demo, see if they will allow you to use their song (which you sang backup on) as a project for your personal portfolio. Audition a lot so you can get comfortable performing on the spot and preparing your quick pitch to producers and managers. It might even be a good idea to audition for theatre groups and singing troupes. That way, you can get experience working and performing on stage as well as getting into a network of performers. Having a demo of your work on you at all times is a good way to put yourself and your talents out there whenever an opportunity arises. At any performance you do, you can sell your demo CD to interested audience members, or give it away for free.  You want your demo to include a manageable amount of songs, perhaps between 4 and 10. This means you want your demo to have enough songs to showcase the range of your talents, but also give your listener a small and convenient amount of music to listen to quickly. If you can’t record your demo in a professional studio, you can easily get the required materials to do it yourself. All you...

Perfumes are a blend of different levels of scent, also called “notes”. When you spray a fragrance on your skin, it moves through these notes in the following order:  Top notes are what you smell first. They are also what disappears first, usually within 10 to 15 minutes. Middle notes appear as the top notes die off. These are the fragrance’s core, determining which family the perfume belongs to — for example, oriental, woody, fresh, or floral. Base notes accentuate and fix the fragrance’s middle notes, also known as its theme. They comprise the fragrance’s foundation, making the scent last up to 4 or 5 hours on your skin. Popular top notes include basil, bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, lime, mint, neroli, rosemary, and sweet orange. These include black pepper, cardamom, chamomile, cinnamon, clove, fir needle, jasmine, juniper, lemongrass, neroli, nutmeg, rose, rosewood, and ylang-ylang. These include cedarwood, cypress, ginger, patchouli, pine, sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver. When mixing a fragrance, first add your base notes, then your middle notes, then finally, your top notes. The ideal ratio for blending notes is 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes. Some perfumers recommend combining a maximum of 3 to 4 dominant notes. To make a perfume, you need more than just the top, middle, and base notes: you also need something to add them to.  Your process begins with a carrier oil. Popular choices include jojoba, sweet almond, and grape seed oil. Next, you’ll slowly add drops of your base, middle, and top notes to the carrier oil. Finally, you’ll add something to help merge the ingredients together. Alcohol is a popular choice because it evaporates quickly and helps diffuse the perfume’s notes. A common choice amongst DIY perfumers is a high-quality, 80- to 100-proof (40% to 50% alc/vol) vodka. If you’re looking to make a solid perfume (more like a lip balm), use melted beeswax for the fixative instead of alcohol or water.

Perhaps the most important part of training any dog, but especially pit bulls, is socialization. Start when your dog is a puppy for the best results, but a dog of any age can be socialized. Take your pit bull out so it can interact with other dogs and people. This will keep your dog friendly, as it will be used to other animals. Many people recommend that you enroll your puppy pit bull in a puppy training class after he reaches six months. The right class can help him get accustomed to other dogs and to learn how to behave. Some pit bulls will simply not ever get along with other dogs, while others may be very friendly. It's important to know your dog's personality and to avoid forcing him to socialize with other dogs. But if you do think he's ready and willing to meet other dogs, try the following:  Introduce the dogs by walking them in a parallel direction with their leashes on, choosing a neutral territory so neither of them gets territorial. Continue to walk the dogs a few feet apart, alternating between which dog is in the lead. Don't let your dog run up to other dogs if he gets excited -- you're in control of his socializing. If both dogs still have their leashes, make sure not to tangle them, or this can cause a fight. If the initial introduction worked well and the dogs seemed to get along, let them briefly sniff each other while standing perpendicularly to each other so that they still don't see each other head on. If either dog stiffens or stands up on his toes, pull the dogs apart before anything goes wrong. You may have to take many walks before you can go past the introduction stage. If sniffing goes well, let your dog hang out in a fenced area with another dog. Let the dogs play with one dog on a leash and the other off the leash. The newer dog should be leashed and the fenced area shouldn't have too many items that can cause a fight, like bones or exciting toys. If the dogs are comfortable in this environment, take off their leashes and make sure that each owner stays near the dog to keep him...

Perhaps there are other issues causing a bit of unrest in your dog. Are you packing for a trip or moving? Are there guests in the house? A new neighbor? Loud noises? Just remember, dogs appreciate a routine.  A small change to you (like moving your bedroom furniture) may seem like a big deal to the dog. Some dogs are more anxious than others, so be patient and think about things from your dog's perspective. Then, you can make changes accordingly. If this is an older dog that has been quiet and content before, try to determine if there is a medical problem. Talk to your veterinarian about any unexplained changes in your dog's behavior, including appetite, energy level and ability to move comfortably. Pain or needing to go outside to eliminate in the middle of the night can cause a pet to whine and be restless during the night. It may take a few days (and nights) to adjust to the new household and routine. Establish ground rules at the beginning to create a good routine. This will help your puppy understand the end of day rituals that lead to getting to sleep in the new household. Feed your puppy at the same time in the evening, followed by a trip outside 15-20 minutes later to eliminate. Place the pup in his crate, which should be in your bedroom so that the puppy is close by. This way, he can communicate when he needs to go outside to eliminate during the night.

Perhaps you feel lonely because you don’t feel confident in your social skills. Practice social skills such as smiling at other people, giving compliments, and making conversation with people you meet throughout the day (grocery clerk, barista, co-workers).  If you’re in a new situation, reach out to someone else and start a conversation. Say “I’ve never been here before, have you? What’s it like?” Either the person can help you or you can find comfort in doing something new together. Remember to communicate openness through body language. By hunching your shoulders, looking down, avoiding eye contact and crossing your body, you appear unapproachable. Smile, keep your posture open (uncross your legs or arms), lean in, and  face the person who is speaking. Look for things to affirm in others. Don’t just compliment someone’s appearance ("I like your sweater"), but instead say "You always take the time to put together just the right accessories." If you know someone well enough, compliment them on their kindness or intelligence. Learn more ways to improve your social skills more by checking out How to Improve Social Skills. Interacting with other people isn’t just about knowing the right thing to say. Hone your listening skills by giving your full attention to the person speaking. Don’t try and plan the perfect response or wait to find your entry point; this puts the focus on you and not the person speaking. Instead, encourage the person to keep talking and show interest in what is being said.  Non-verbally communicate your listening skills by nodding your head, making eye contact, and giving small feedback like saying, “I see,” or, “uh huh.”  For more tips on how to build listening skills, check out How to Be a Good Listener. Find people with whom you have common interests and with whom you can get along.

Perimeter is the sum total of all outer sides of any given shape, including irregular and compound shapes.  A standard rectangle has four sides. The two sides composing the length are equal to each other, and the two sides composing the width are equal to each other. Therefore, the perimeter is the sum of those four sides. A compound rectangle has at least six sides. Think of a capital “L” or “T” shape. The top “branch” can be separated into one rectangle and the bottom “bar” can be separated into another. The perimeter of this shape, however, does not rely on breaking up the compound rectangle into two separate rectangles. Instead, the perimeter is simply: P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6. Each “s” represents a different side of your compound rectangle. In a standard educational math problem, the measurement of all sides should be provided.  This example uses the abbreviations L, W, l1, l2, w1, and w2. The uppercase L and W stand for the full lengths and widths of the shape. The lowercase ls and ws stand for the smaller lengths and widths. As such, the formula P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6 equals P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2. Variables, like “w” or “l” are simply placeholders for unknown numeric values.  Example: L = 14 centimeter (5.5 in), W = 10 centimeter (3.9 in), l1 = 5 centimeter (2.0 in), l2 = 9 centimeter (3.5 in), w1 = 4 centimeter (1.6 in), w2 = 6 centimeter (2.4 in) Note that l1 and l2 will equal L. Similarly, w1 and w2 will equal W. By plugging the numeric values of the sides into your equations, you’ll be able to find the perimeter of your compound shape. P = L + W + l1 + l2 + w1 + w2 = 14 + 10 + 5 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 48 centimeter (18.9 in)

Periodontal disease is a leading cause of receding gums. See your dentist every six months for cleanings and check-ups. If you haven't had it done, ask about fluoride treatment. Having regular professional care can help prevent diseases of your mouth and gums.  Gingivitis, periodontitis, and plaque all cause inflammation in your gums, which causes gingival recession. Your dentist can help you prevent these or treat them before they get worse. Having misaligned or crowded teeth can cause or worsen gum recession and may warrant orthodontic treatment. If you have dental problems that your regular dentist can't fix, they can likely refer you to a periodontist. Periodontists specialize in preventing and treating periodontal disease, and may be better equipped to help you with gingival recession. Take the time to thoroughly brush your teeth two times per day. Brush in the morning when you wake up, and before bed. Use toothpaste that contains fluoride. Use a soft-bristled or medium-bristled toothbrush; avoid hard-bristle brushes.  Consider purchasing an electric toothbrush, which may reduce plaque more than brushing with a regular toothbrush. Be sure to brush the inside, outside, and tops (chewing surface) of your teeth. Brush your tongue, too. A big mistake people often make is brushing their teeth too hard. Brushing in a rigorous horizontal (back and forth) manner can cause trauma to your gums and can wear away the enamel, causing gum recession. Ask your dentist to show you the right way to brush your teeth.  Tilt the head of your toothbrush at a 45° angle towards your gum line. Use small circular vibratory strokes. Brush with gentle pressure. The bristles of your toothbrush can actually go 1 mm below your gum line to remove plaque that gets stuck there. Do about 20 strokes in one position before moving on to the other surfaces of your teeth.  After doing 20 strokes, do a sweeping motion towards the biting surfaces of your teeth to move the plaque out. Do a back and forth horizontal movement to clean the biting...

Peroxide can be dangerous if too much is inhaled at a time. Choose a piece of metal that is either iron or tin--both will work with this method. The spray bottle will make it much easier to apply to your metal. Spray your piece of metal with a sizeable amount of peroxide. Spraying more peroxide will help to speed up the rusting process. You should do this while the peroxide is still wet. The rusting process will begin almost immediately and is actually easy to see. You can pour on more or less salt depending on how thick or crusty you want the rust to be. If you wipe off the salt while the peroxide is still wet, you will disrupt the rusting process and cause your rust to come out blotchy. Once dry, rub the salt off and admire your work. While you have just read about the basic way you can use peroxide and salt to cause metal to rust, the sky is really the limit when it comes to this technique. Rub the salt off and then spray the piece with peroxide again. Try different amounts of salt or dip your metal into water once it has dried. The water will give the rust a smoother texture.

Personal vehicles like cars are responsible for about one-fifth of emissions in the United States. Choose an alternative method of getting around if you want to make a dent in your own carbon footprint and reduce your contributions to global warming. Instead of taking the car or getting a ride to the park, school, your friend’s house, or anywhere else, try:   Walking or jogging. Riding your bike or skateboarding. Rollerblading. While trains and buses often run on fossil fuels, they produce less pollution and take less energy to run than the multiple personal vehicles they replace. Next time you have to get around town and it’s too far to walk or bike, take the bus or other public transportation instead of asking for a ride. Kids who aren’t close enough to walk or bicycle to school but don’t have bus service can organize carpools with the parents of friends who go to the same school. Instead of four parents each driving individual cars to get kids to school, parents can take turns every day or week picking up and dropping off all the kids, meaning there are three fewer cars on the road. Suggest carpooling with friends for other activities as well, like sports practices and games, after-school activities, lessons, and social events. Driving a car that doesn’t run on gasoline or diesel can drastically reduce your carbon footprint, because it will reduce your fossil fuel use and emissions, and reduce the emissions created by the production, processing, and distribution of the fuel.  Hybrid and electric cars are typically more expensive than their traditional counterparts, so this may not be an option for many families. Be aware that if the electricity you use comes from a fossil fuel, driving a car that’s charged with that electricity may not reduce your carbon footprint.

Petroleum jellies like Vaseline and ointments like Neosporin work best. Place a small amount of the product on a Q-tip, then apply it around the entrance of each nostril. The extra moisture will not only relieve dryness, but will also create a barrier against irritation from a runny nose. If you don't have something like Vaseline or Neosporin handy, you can use your regular facial lotion. It won't lock in moisture as effectively, but it should still provide some relief. If you're willing to pay a slightly higher price, splurging on some high-quality facial tissue can go a long way toward soothing your nose. Look for products that have been treated with lotion. They do less damage as you're blowing your nose, and counteract the irritation with their soothing lotion. Less chafing during nose-blowing means less irritation in the long run. If your nose is badly chafed or even bleeding, add warm moisture quickly to relieve the pain. Run a clean washcloth under hot water, then gently press it into the nostrils. Tilt your head back and leave the washcloth in place until it cools back down to room temperature. Breathe through your mouth during this time.  Apply petroleum jelly or Neosporin to your nose immediately after soaking your nose with a washcloth. Either dispose of the washcloth or wash it immediately. A runny or congested nose can feel terrible, and you may be tempted to blow your nose constantly. Though it may be hard, fight that urge. Especially if you're home alone and there's nobody to judge you, blow your nose only when necessary. If a little mucus runs out of your nose, gently dab it away instead of honking on a dry tissue and irritating your nose. Instead of taking a deep breath and blowing as hard as you can, blow gently to reduce chafing. Blow softly through one nostril, then the other.  Continue alternating nostrils until you feel your nose is clear enough. Always loosen the mucus with a decongesting technique before blowing your nose.

Petroleum-based moisturizers can dry out your skin, particularly during the cold winter months. Try a water-based moisturizer with natural ingredients to nourish and hydrate your face. Look for moisturizers made of these petroleum alternatives: cocoa butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, lanolin, olive oil, shea butter, or tallow. Aloe can relieve skin irritation and flakiness caused by dehydration. By using an aloe-based product, you can improve your skin's water content and relieve redness or itchiness. Try an aloe vera skin mask to directly target facial skin dehydration. If your face is already parched for water, treatment oils can restore moisture to your skin. Apply a few drops of treatment oil over your moisturizer to seal in as much hydration as possible. Olive and jojoba-based treatment oils are effective for treating dry skin. Naturally oily skin has different moisturizing needs than sensitive skin, as does young or mature skin. Determining the root cause of your dehydrated skin can help you find the right treatments. Consult a dermatologist, who can identify your skin type and help you find the right products if you don't know what's causing your skin problems. 1-2 times a week. Exfoliation can rid your face of dead skin cells and help moisturizers or other products deeply penetrate your skin. Use a washcloth to rub your face in a circular motion, then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Don't exfoliate any more than once or twice a week.

Pets are not ultra expensive, but that doesn't mean you won't need to spend money. Below are some annual cost estimates provided by the ASPCA:   Dogs-- $600-$900, depending on size  Cats-- $600  Rabbit-- $700  Rodents--$300-$650, depending on size  Fish -- $40    Small Birds -- $400  Large Birds (Parrots, Macaws)-- $700-$1,200 Set aside a few hundred dollars in case of emergency veterinary costs. Be sure to bring your pet to the vet soon after adopting it as well. Just like humans, pets need regular check-ups to spot problems before they become serious conditions. Use your first visit to discuss how often you should schedule check-ups and your pet's dietary and medical needs.  Be sure to schedule shots and vaccinations as soon as you can. Make sure that your pet has all of the proper vaccines and other preventative medication suggested by your veterinarian, such as heart worm pills for some dogs. Ask your vet what symptoms to look for if your pet gets sick. Spay or neuter dogs and cats to prevent pet over-population.   Record your vet's number as well as the number of a veterinary hospital in case of emergencies. Knowing your pet's normal behavior is very important; if they are sick or injured, they will often act unusually, such as sleeping more, going off their food, etc. If they begin to act oddly, check them for any injuries and keep an eye on their food and water intake; if they stop eating or drinking, or they have obvious wounds that are concerning you, then take them to the vet. The cheapest food you find may not always be the healthiest. Feeding animals table scraps - no matter how cute they are when they beg - is not a good idea since people food often has minerals and items in it that can be harmful to our animal friends. Only feed your pet appropriate foods and give them responsible portions.  Research or ask your vet about good food sources and portion sizes. Natural foods, though more expensive, are healthier than dry or processed foods.   Watch your pet’s diet carefully. Many foods that are...

Pets provide affection and someone to talk to and care for. If you are aloof and self-sufficient, tropical fish, hamsters, budgies, or finches are great choices. If you like a little interaction, but not a lot of maintenance, try a cat. If you want to be very hands-on and spend tons of time with your pet, a dog might be right for you.  Don't be fooled into thinking a smaller animal like a rabbit or bird won't need lots of care - a rabbit needs daily human contact and several hours of time to run about a day, not to mention cleaning it out. Fully research any animal you are considering as a pet then go to your local animal shelter, there are hundreds of lovely animals there just waiting for a home! Some animal shelters will let you 'foster' a pet, which gives the animal a much needed break from the confines of the shelter and gives you the companionship you crave without a long-term commitment. If you find that the reason you are spending so much time alone is because you are turning down invitations and avoiding people, then this may indicate a larger mental health issue. Seek the help of a mental health professional if this is the case. Being lonely sometimes is normal, but it can be unhealthy if it goes on for a long time.

Phenobarbital is the most commonly prescribed medication to treat seizures in cats. If your cat has been prescribed phenobarbital, then there are some important things to keep in mind.  Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain's cortex. Phenobarbital is an anticonvulsant that works by raising the motor cortex's threshold for stimulation while simultaneously decreasing neural excitability. This means that the cat's nerves become less responsive, while her brain requires a greater trigger to set off a seizure. Your cat's veterinarian will prescribe a dosage and provide instructions for how to properly administer the medication. Make sure to follow these instructions carefully.  If the dosage is ineffective, call your cat's veterinarian. Once swallowed, phenobarbital crosses the stomach lining and is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream. Phenobarbital is available in both tablet and liquid form. The liquid form is easier to use on cats who have a hard time swallowing pills. Share this information with your cat's veterinarian if needed. Liquid phenobarbital is also better when small doses of the medication have been prescribed. This is due to the fact that the tablets are very hard and can be difficult to cut up. In the first 4 to 5 days of phenobarbital treatment, the cat may appear to be sedated. However, you cat should become more alert and active once her body adjusts to the new medication. Like with dogs, phenobarbital stimulates the cat's thirst and appetite, which may cause her to gain weight. This is unavoidable, but you can do your best to maintain your cat's health by feeding her a healthy diet or a reduced calorie diet. Phenobarbital is metabolized by the liver, so regular liver bloodwork will be requires to monitor your cat's liver function. Therefore, if the cat's liver function is impaired the phenobarbital cannot be broken down properly, causing it to rise to toxic levels.  In rare cases, phenobarbital causes immune-mediated destruction of blood cells and deactivates the...

Photo collages are usually fun and commemorative. You could choose a theme like your family, your pets, a trip you took, or something you like. Many photo collages come from personal experiences using photos you took, but you don’t have to make yours that way. You could make something cool using random images you found online. For example, you might make a photo collage about puppies. Everyone loves looking at pictures of puppies. All you have to do is track down pictures you like and paste them together. Edit and combine photos using one of the many different editing programs available. For the best result, stick with a basic program like Word if you’re making the collage on your computer. You could also try uploading pictures to online websites like Canva or Shutterfly. There are also apps you can download on your phone for a quick way to make your own collage. You could work with a photo editing program like Photoshop if you have it and know how to use it. Click the save button often to keep your hard work safe in case your computer crashes! When you’re done editing, display your collage with pride if you wish. Go online, such as onto social media, and post your work for others to see. Otherwise, print it using the print feature on the editor to display it around your home. The printing paper you choose affects the final appearance of your collage. Choose a high-gloss paper to give it a shiny sheen. Use a matte-style paper to give it a dimmer, less colorful look.

Photos from your last camping trip can showcase your adventures, or photos from your child’s first year can be a decoration for a first birthday party. You might also choose an inspirational theme, including pictures of strong women, for example. Some options are jewelry boxes, storage boxes, table tops, pen holders and so on. Take into account how many pictures you have to work with; making a large collage will require lots of pictures., These can come from just about any printed material, from magazines, newspapers, old books, or postcards. Even fabric can be used in collages. If you are doing a photo collage, you should select the best photos that represent the event or convey the theme you’re going for. Depending on how large your collage is, you may need to choose 10-20 pictures, or you may need 50 pictures or more.  Consider how large you want your pictures to be in your final collage. The pictures do not need to be the same size, nor do they need to be the same shape. In fact, a range of sizes and shapes will give more dimension to your collage and make it more interesting to the eye. Think about if you want a certain picture to dominate the collage and have subordinate pictures surrounding it, for example. You don’t need to always choose pictures of people. Adding in pictures of details (a bridge or road, a plate of cookies, a deck of cards from a poker game) can add dimension to your collage. These add to the overall sense you’re trying to convey in your collage. Because you are creating a collage of many pictures, you can afford to include some background or detail pictures. Your collage will look better if you have high quality images with sharp resolution (at least 300 dpi; 600 dpi for larger photos). Have on hand the following supplies to keep you focused on the artistry of your collage: scissors, X-acto knife, glue or other adhesive, paintbrush, pencil, plain paper, and your pictures. Start deciding how you want to place your pictures. What parts of the pictures do you want to include or leave...

Physical activity has been shown to be very supportive of weight loss, not to mention the many other health benefits that come with being active. Even if you can't spend an hour at the gym, walking more throughout the day, even a small amount, can have a positive effect on your weight loss.  You may want to consider purchasing a pedometer or downloading a pedometer app on your smartphone. This can give you an idea of how many steps you currently take each day and give a starting place to add in more steps. Many health professionals recommend that you get about 10,000 steps in (about 5 miles or 8 km) each day. This might not be possible right away but you can start with 5,000 steps per day and add 1,000 steps to your goal each week until you reach 10,000 steps per day.  To get in more steps throughout the day, consider: taking a short walk break at lunch, parking farther away, walking to a restroom farther away, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or delivering messages in person instead of email. You can even try: taking multiple trips to bring groceries or other packages inside, taking the stairs multiple times, planning to walk to destinations that are short in distance, walking a lap or two at the mall before you start shopping or walking while you talk on the phone or brush your teeth. Another way to be more active and help your body burn calories is by trying to stand more often than you sit.  Stand at work if you can. Stand during meetings, stand at your desk, or stand while you're on a conference call. At home, stand when you're watching TV or get up and stand or walk around during commercial breaks. Studies have shown that standing helps keep your heart rate elevated and therefore helps your body burn more calories per hour than sitting. Although you may not have a lot of time for planned physical activity each day or week, even taking a few minutes every day to be active can help.  Try just taking a 10 minute exercise or walk break during the day. Most people have 10 minutes to themselves that...

Physical exercise can help you avoid weight gain and high blood pressure, both of which put unnecessary pressure on your kidneys. Keeping your body healthy can help your kidneys function properly. Aim to get at least 20 minutes of physical activity each day.  Look for an activity that you enjoy. For example, if you like to walk, recruit a friend and schedule a standing date to explore your neighborhood. If you like to swim, look for a community pool in your area. If you're new to exercise, consult your doctor before beginning any program. . If you smoke, quitting can help improve not only your overall health, but it will greatly benefit your kidneys. Smoking impedes blood flow to vital organs, including your kidneys. This means that they cannot effectively flush toxins from your body. Quitting smoking is hard, but there are many resources you can use. Ask your doctor about medication or nicotine cessation products such as gum or patches. While there are many benefits to medications, there can also be side effects. Some prescription medications have been known to cause damage to the kidneys. Make sure to discuss this possibility whenever your doctor issues you a prescription. Over-the-counter pain killers — especially the NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, Aleve, and Motrin — can also cause damage to the kidneys if taken on a regular basis. They are fine for occasional use, but talk to your doctor about alternatives if you need to treat chronic pain and have concerns about your kidney health. Acetaminophen is a kidney-safe NSAID.

Physical silver -- coins, bars, bullion or rounds -- is widely used both as currency and in industrial manufacturing. This makes physical sliver more versatile than "paper" silver, though not necessarily as liquid. If you're planning on investing in silver, consider starting with the physical metal before venturing into other more-complex forms of ownership. In a time of economic uncertainty and slow growth, silver is an excellent hedge. A hedge is a strategy that reduces your risk of losses when the market fluctuates, usually by investing in an offsetting position. Silver is a good hedge against currency inflation. That's because if the value of currency drops, precious metals like silver and gold remain relatively stable or even increase in value. Many buyers of silver and gold approach such an investment from the wrong angle: they buy when they notice the price going up (since the "value" is increasing), and they sell when they notice the price going down (when the "value" is diminishing). This is a classic violation  of  the first principle of investing — buy low and sell high.  Think of things the other way around. Instead of buying when everyone else is confident, and the price of silver is high, buy when everyone else is worried, and the price of silver has dropped. Instead of buying when prices are high, that's the time to be selling. Instead of selling when prices are low, that's the time to be buying. Although this is an emotionally difficult path to tread, it's the best way to make money over time. Take a look at a historical graph of silver prices. Over the last few decades the price of silver has periodically fallen to about $5 an ounce.  If you can afford to wait until silver falls to that level again, invest in it at that time. When economic times are uncertain and the price of silver goes up, unload your silver for a hefty profit, or keep it as a hedge against currency depreciation. If you're not ready for a rollercoaster ride when you buy silver, perhaps it isn't the right investment for you....

Pick 1 section to work on first, such as the hood. Starting in the corner, pick at the Plasti Dip with your fingers to lift it away from the car. Avoid pulling it off the car immediately, or else you may end up with lots of annoying, small Plasti Dip strips on your vehicle! If the Plasti Dip was applied correctly, it will be thick enough to peel off. Thinner layers shred, so they have to be washed off with WD-40 or another product. Work along the edge, lifting the Plasti Dip without removing it. Once the edge is clear, pull the Plasti Dip down along the car’s surface. It will come off in a large sheet, which you can throw away. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe away any leftover Plasti Dip. Be sure to check hidden locations such as the edges of the hood, the car doors, or the car's underside. Plasti dip in these locations are thin strips that will come off right away. Pick up a bottle of isopropyl alcohol from a general store or drugstore. Pour it into a spray bottle to make applying it easier. Spray it around the edges of the Plasti Dip, trying to get it under the edges. Peel off the Plasti Dip or rub it off with a cloth.  When removing Plasti Dip from a wheel, for example, spray around the outer edges of the rim. A power washer can also be used, but make sure it’s on a low setting so it doesn’t scratch the car. To ensure that the paint isn’t damaged, wash off the isopropyl alcohol along with any remaining Plasti Dip fragments. Use a car-safe soap purchased from an auto supply store, rinse it off with a hose, and then dry the car with microfiber towels.

Pick a mug that is festive for the occasion, whether it's around Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Valentine's Day. Trace the bottom of the mug over a piece of thick Styrofoam and cut the Styrofoam and place it snugly into the bottom of the mug. You can even try to glue the Styrofoam into the bottom of the mug, but then you -- or the person you're giving it to -- won't be able to use it once all the candy is eaten. Make the dough for chocolate chip, gingerbread, oatmeal raisin, or any other cookies that you like. Before you put them into the oven, cut a small hole in the bottom of the cookies and insert a wooden popsicle stick in each one. It's a good idea to bake a few extra cookies in case some of them break or don't stay on the popsicle stick. Give the cookies at least 10-15 minutes to cool off and harden before you try placing them in the bouquet. Spread the cookies out evenly so they stick out neatly above the mug. They can stick out at different angles and heights, as long as the bouquet looks visually appealing. Place wrapped candy that goes well with the cookies, such as Reese's peanut butter cups or individually-wrapped Milky Ways, into the bottom of the mug, and place some brown tissue paper on top to cover the candy and Styrofoam.

Pick a piece of construction paper that's nice and sturdy and a bright and happy color, like yellow. Use scissors to cut at least six petals that are at least four inches long. If you like, you can lightly draw the petal shape with a pencil and then cut around the inside of the shape to avoid pencil marks. You can also use one of the petals as a template to cut the rest of the petals, or create six slightly unique shapes -- after all, the petals on a real flower aren't the exact same length, either.  If you want to give a little extra texture to the petals, you can roll them around a pencil to make them curl upwards. You can also consider using tissue paper for the petals, or using a mix of tissue paper and actual petals. If you'd like to create less of a 3-D effect, then you can just cut one flower shape with all of the six petals connected at the center. " Find a thin stick in your backyard, use a wooden chopstick, buy a "stem" from a craft store, or take an ordinary straw and paint it brown. The stem should be proportional to the flower, so hold them up together to make sure the stem isn't too long or too short. Using a real stick may be the most authentic move, but keep in mind that it won't be as clean as something you can find at home, and that it may be harder to attach it to leaves or petals.

Pick a plan that works best based on your running abilities and goals. If you've never run before, your training routine will be different from the routine of someone who is a champion sprinter and wants to run a 5K in under 25 minutes. Check out online running resources to see which training schedule works for you. Once you pick your plan, you should write it into your planner so you know what you're doing every day for the next eight weeks. Don't wear yourself out by running and training every day. Pick two days that are far enough apart that fit your schedule. Typical rest days are Mondays and Fridays. You should ideally cross-train one or two days every week. Cross-training is anything from biking or swimming to using elliptical at the gym. Plug two days of cross training into your routine, but take one of them off to rest if you need to. Stretching will maximize your performance and prevent injury. Run the same distance for 2 days a week, such as Mondays and Thursdays, and build toward running a slightly longer distance on your long run day, which will be a Saturday or Sunday. Here is what your training should look like if you are able to run one mile before you start training:  Run one mile on the Tuesday and Thursday of the first week, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) on the first Saturday of that week. On the second week, run 1.5 miles (2.4 km) on Tuesday and Thursday and then 1.75 miles (2.82 km) on Saturday, and so on. By the seventh week, you should be running 2 or 3 miles (3.2 or 4.8 km) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 3 miles (4.8 km) by Saturday. On the last week, you can train during the week but rest on the day before the race instead of doing your long run. Go online to find a way to measure the distance of the streets in your town. You can also run these distances on a treadmill, but running outside is optimal for race training. Though it would be amazing to be able to do what you say you're going to do for 8 or even 12 weeks in a row, it's likely that you'll have to make some adjustments, whether it's...

Pick a store that you know well in order to easily locate your particular item. Or, go to a store outside of your neighborhood in order to avoid running into people you know. Try going to a specialty sex-shop. The best part of buying from these types of locations is that you can easily play it off like you are buying a joke gift for a friend, or a party favor for a bachelorette party. This could also reduce your sense that someone may be judging you negatively by your purchase. Going with a friend or partner can help deflect some of your embarrassment by serving as a social buffer or even a distraction for your embarrassment.   Ask your partner to join you on your trip to the store. Tell a friend you need moral support in buying your embarrassing item. Buying just the personal item can feel like it is drawing attention to yourself and may lead to increased feelings of embarrassment. Instead, buy multiple items in order to camouflage your purchase. Get a bag of chips, gum, or soda to lessen the embarrassment. The more items the better. Using coping strategies when buying sex-related items, such as going to a checkout stand with a similar person to yourself (the same gender and around the same age as you), can reduce embarrassment. This is a very common coping resource for avoiding embarrassment in purchasing personal products. It can be very embarrassing to checkout sexual items with a different sex or someone with a huge age difference. If you can't find someone like you, try to find the person that is the best fit or that you think will produce the least amount of embarrassment for you. This helps to draw less attention to yourself, and reduces the likelihood of engaging the cashier in small talk in order to avoid an awkward moment.  Be polite, but avoid too much eye contact or small-talk with the cashier. Look at a magazine in the checkout stand. Text or be on the phone while waiting for checkout.

Pick out any rocks and any extra shriveled or crushed beans. The damaged beans won't cook properly, so it's best to remove them. If you want to be sure to catch them all, pour them onto a flat surface like a cooking sheet. Don't obsess over each bean; it's not a disaster if you don't catch every one. Rinse the dried beans in room temperature water and place them in a large pot. . After rinsing, fill the pot with water (at least twice as much volume as the beans fill) and soak the beans using one of two methods:   Overnight soaking: simply leave the beans in water for 8-12 hours. This method is the best for ensuring the beans absorb enough water to cook evenly all the way through.   Quick soak: bring the pot of water and beans to a boil, then turn off the burner and let soak 1 hour. This will do the job much faster, but the beans won't cook as evenly. The beans will expand as they absorb water, so leave space in the pot. Broken and split beans will rise to the water's surface. Remove these. The water you used to soak the beans now contains dirt as well as some of the complex sugars that cause gassiness. Using a new pot of water to cook the beans is recommended. Cover the beans with fresh water and boil 30 minutes. You can add spices for additional flavor, or leave them plain so the canned beans have greater versatility.  Don't cook the beans as long as they would usually take (normally 60-90 minutes or more). The canning process will finish cooking the beans. Optional: Add approximately 1/4 tsp (1mL) salt per pint (500 mL) of beans to better preserve color and flavor.  Good ingredients for adding flavor to beans include garlic, red pepper, cumin, coriander, and lemongrass. Don't use all of these at once!
