Owning a pet provides love, companionship, and hours of entertainment. Pet ownership has health benefits, too, such as reducing your blood pressure and the risk of heart disease, increasing your feelings of well-being and connectedness, and teaching you lessons in empathy and nurturing.  For extra warm and fuzzy feelings, consider rescuing a pet from your local shelter. However, only get a pet if you know you can take care of it knowledgeably. Don't just keep an animal for your own benefit. Listening to music taps into your brain’s imagination and sense of self-identity, boosts your self-esteem, and lessens feelings of isolation. Listening to music feels empowering. Put on your favorite album – or that one you keep meaning to dive into, turn up the volume, and cut out all other distractions so that you can really experience the wonders of the music. In some cases, music has been shown to help people coping with dementia, giving them a greater sense of empowerment. Music therapy is also useful in people suffering from anxiety and depression. Your facial expression is traditionally thought of as a window into how you feel, but it's also thought that your facial expression can influence your mood. Therefore, be sure to smile freely, to ensure that your mood is upbeat. You might even want to greet yourself in the mirror with a smile first thing in the morning––that happy face may be just enough to keep that mood flowing all day long. A decent break doesn’t mean zoning out to the TV or going down the internet rabbit hole. It means setting some time aside and making it special. As a thank-you to yourself, give yourself a vacation or “staycation”, a change of scenery – even if it just means having a picnic in your backyard or building a fort with your kids in the living room. Taking a break that is different from the ordinary and lets you "hang loose" can do wonders for your sense of fun, escape, and fulfillment. It is well known that people with a wide circle of friends tend to live longer.Of course, birds of a...

Oxalic acid can help remove brown stains, particularly on white surfaces. You can find cleaners with oxalic acid at your local big box stores. Zud and Barkeepers Friend are two common stain removers with this ingredient.  Just rub the cleaner in and leave it for a few minutes, then wipe it off, rinsing it with clean water. Don't forget to dry it afterward. You may need to repeat the process to get all of the stains. If you have white Corian counters, you can use a product that contains bleach. The material can withstand bleach, as long as you don't leave it on for more than 16 hours. You can also just use a mixture of bleach and water, but don't go any stronger than 50 percent bleach.  You can leave the cleaner on the stain for a few minutes to help the cleaner penetrate. Wipe it up with clean water when you're done letting it soak. If your counters aren't white, it's possible that bleach could bleach out your countertops. Test it in an inconspicuous place if you want to use a cleaner with bleach on colorful counters. Limescale cleaners can help you remove hard water buildup. Generally, these cleaners are acidic to break down the limescale on the surface. To use this type of product, spray it on the counter before walking away for about 5 minutes. Wipe it down. Rinse and dry the counter. You may need to apply the cleaner more than once to remove all the limescale.

Oxalic acid is a heavy-duty cleaning ingredient that will help you remove even the most serious rust spots.  Spray the rusty stainless steel with the cleaning solution and wait about 60 seconds (or for however long the oxalic acid product recommends). Oxalic acid is a common ingredient in cleaning solutions like Krud Kutter and Bar Keepers Friend. About 60 seconds after applying the cleaning agent, dampen a sponge.  Rub the rusty spot in the direction of the stainless steel grain. When the rust has been cleaned, rinse the area with fresh water (or spray with a squirt bottle).  Gently dry the stainless steel using a clean towel. When dealing with rust that just won’t seem to come off, you might be tempted to use really heavy-duty cleaning products.  However, avoid this temptation to avoid damaging your stainless steel.  Only use the liquid cleaners, not cleaning solutions that contain grit.  Additionally, avoid cleaning solutions that combine oxalic acid with chlorides (chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, and so on).

Oxidizing bleaches are less severe than the chlorine versions, and as such are kinder to fabric. Hydrogen peroxide is a commonly used example of an oxidizing bleach which is often used to tackle stains. Chlorine bleaches are much stronger, more toxic, and should be used with care.  Chlorine bleaches will damage colour on fabrics, but for white fabrics that is less of a problem. If you use bleach regularly in your machine washes you may find some yellowish marks appear on white clothes. A less precise way to use bleach to lighten whites and work against stains is simply to add some bleach to your normal wash. Always be sure to read the label to see how much it is recommended for you to add to a washing load. As well as checking the label of the bleach, check the label of any garments you are washing to see if it acceptable to use bleach to clean them, for example you mustn’t use bleach with silk or wool.

Oxygen comes in portable, lightweight units that are easy to carry around the house with you. Ask your doctor for a prescription for an oxygen tank. They will do some lung function tests and prescribe you the appropriate amount of oxygen. Place the small clear nosepiece (nasal cannula) inside your nostrils to get oxygen straight from the tank.  Oxygen therapy at home should be used with caution, especially when treating Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Always follow instructions given by your physician.  Always follow safety precautions when using oxygen: Do not smoke, apply heat, or have any sort of fire near your oxygen containers.  Depending on your symptoms and your doctor’s recommendations, you can use oxygen all the time or only while you’re exercising or sleeping. Oxygen intake should be carefully monitored at all times when the tank is being used. Medical equipment is only appropriate for people with specific illnesses. Consult your doctor to see if these options are right for you. If you only need high-flow oxygen while you’re at home, get gas or liquid oxygen delivered from a reputable provider. Ask your doctor to help your choose a type of oxygen, or contact your health insurance company to ask if they have a preferred provider. Oxygen can come to your home as compressed gas in a tank or cylinder, or as a liquid. Liquid oxygen is more portable, but the tanks do not last as long. Oxygen concentrators plug into an outlet and continuously filter oxygen from your environment, channeling it to you through a face mask or nasal cannula. This is a good option if you need lots of concentrated oxygen while at home due to a chronic illness. Your doctor can suggest a good machine, and a nurse will set it up and show you how to use it.

Oyster mushrooms are the easiest to grow, and a great choice for novices. To get started, buy them online, in a home gardening store, or in a homebrew supply store in the form of "spawn": spores or root-like mycelium stored in sawdust, grain, or agar. You can buy the spawn alone or as part of a complete oyster mushroom kit. Any oyster mushroom variety will work, but blue grey oysters and pink oysters are especially easy and quick to grow.Growing outdoors? "Plug spawn" is a slow but even easier alternative. Just drill holes in the side of a newly fallen hardwood log (avoid “softwood” or pine because they will inhibit the growth of fungus), insert the plugs, and wait for damp weather. If your kit came with a large bag of straw, that's a ready-to-go substrate, or material that provides nutrients and a place to grow. If you only have a small container of mushroom spawn, you'll need to make your own substrate, and heat it so only beneficial microbes can grow. Here are two ways to make a substrate: Cardboard:Best for spawn in sawdust1. Cut corrugated cardboard into pieces of equal size, a few inches square.2. Put the cardboard in a bucket and weigh it down with a heavy object.3. Add boiling water to submerge the cardboard.4. Cover with lid and let cool for eight hours.5. Wash hands with antibacterial soap.6. Squeeze out as much water as you can.  Straw:Best for spawn in grain1. Choose a cereal straw such as wheat or rye.2. Cut into 3–4 inch lengths (7.5–10cm) using a shredder or a weed whacker in a garbage can.3. Tie in a pillowcase or nylon mesh laundry bag.Submerge in pot of water on stovetop.4. Heat at 160–170ºF (70–75ºC) for one hour.5. Drain well and let cool to below 80ºF (27ºC). Now the spawn is ready to colonize the substrate with mycelium. Most strains do this best at temperatures between 60º and 75ºF (16–24ºC). Even small variations in temperature can decrease mushroom yield or encourage contamination, so try to find a room that stays at this temperature 24 hours a day.  Mycelium can grow at any light...

Oysters should still be alive when you shuck them; if they've already expired, they aren't safe to eat. Pick oysters with the following properties:  Closed shells. If an oyster's shell is open, it's likely that it's already dead. Lightly tap the shell, just in case; if it immediately shuts, the oyster is still alive and fine to eat. A fresh sea smell. Fresh oysters smell both sweet and salty, like the air next to the sea. If an oyster smells fishy or "off," it's probably not fresh. A heavy feel. Place the oyster in your palm. If has a nice heavy weight, that means it's still full of seawater and was probably harvested quite recently. If it's unexpectedly light, the seawater has dried up, and it's no longer fresh. Besides a nice sack of fresh oysters, you'll need the following supplies:  A stiff-bristed brush Heavy gloves An oyster knife, or another knife with a heavy blade that won't snap A bed of ice for keeping the oysters fresh until serving Before you start shucking, take a close look at an oyster so that you know the right way to handle it while shucking.  The hinge is the muscle that connects the top and bottom shells at the pointy end of the oyster. Opposite from the hinge is the rounded front of the oyster. The top of the oyster is the flatter shell. The bottom shell is cup-shaped.

PDCAAS stands for protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score. This score rates the protein based on bioavailability and essential amino acid supply. The highest score is 1.00. Eggs have a score of 1.00. Protein powders are generally not made entirely of protein. Because of this, it is important to look at how much protein you are getting, and how many other ingredients there are.  Concentrate contains between 30% and 85% protein. It is cheaper and easier to find. Isolate contains more than 90% protein and is more expensive. When purchasing protein powder, be sure to check the label for the percentage of protein to be sure you are getting the best powder for your money. You will want to know how much of each protein is in the blend before you purchase the powder. This should be stated somewhere on the label. If the amount of each protein is not stated, you may want to consider another blend. Proteins are made up of amino acids and, in order to be a complete protein, they must contain all 9 essential amino acids. Amino acid powders have their functions, but will not do the same thing as a protein powder.

PMLE is an itchy, red skin rash that develops when your skin is exposed to the sun. The term polymorphic indicates that the rash will look different when it develops on different people.  This condition is most common in the spring, which is when your skin is exposed to stronger sunlight for the first time after winter.  Sun rash is more common in women than in men and it most often occurs in children and adults between 20 and 40 who live in Northern Europe or North America. This is due to the temperate climate in these areas.  You may also be more susceptible to PMLE if you have a family history of it. If you do get PMLE in the winter, it could be from exposure to tanning beds. Sun rash is considered an allergic reaction, but not in the traditional sense. It generally develops because your immune system reacts to exposure to the combination of UV radiation and visible light. The main symptom of sun rash is an itchy red rash that develops on the skin with small raised bumps or blisters. This can happen within 20 minutes of sun exposure, but it can also take a few hours. The rash will typically appear on your arms, your chest, or your legs. This is because these areas are generally covered more during the winter months and become desensitized to the sun.  Even if you treat the first instance of the rash, it may recur if you go back out into the sun. These recurrences are typically less severe than the first.   Sun rash usually lasts 1–4 days before healing if you don’t expose your skin to the sun, but in very rare cases, it could last for 1–2 weeks. The rash should not leave any scarring. In addition to direct exposure to the sun, you can get a sun rash from exposure to the sun through a window or by exposure to fluorescent lighting. Another form of sun rash can occur as a reaction to chemicals or medications. These 2 conditions are called photoallergic dermatitis and drug-induced photosensitivity.  Certain chemicals in soaps, perfumes, skin lotions, detergents, and makeup can react to sun exposure and cause a...

PMS symptoms like anxiety and irritability flare up more when you’re stressed. Give yourself a break and find ways to stay calm and cool-headed during this time of the month.  Deep breathing exercises,  meditation, and  yoga are all good ways to relax.  Other ideas for stress-busting activities include writing in a journal, taking walks in nature, or calling up a friend for a chat. It’s not just in your head: when you’re stressed out, your cortisol levels rise, which can throw your hormonal balance out of whack and make your PMS  symptoms worse. When you’re not feeling your best, a little treat can make a big difference in your mood. Indulge in your favorite chocolates, a new book you’ve been eyeing, or a relaxing afternoon listening to your favorite music. Getting a massage, facial, or pedicure can take your mind off your PMS symptoms and lift your mood. Don’t feel like going out to a spa? Recreate the experience at home. Take a relaxing soak with some bath salts, treat your skin to a nourishing mask, and brighten up your nails with your favorite nail polish. Stressful events are never fun, but some times of the month are better than others for dealing with demanding situations and people who make you feel frazzled. If you track your period, avoid scheduling stressful events or situations during your cycle. See if you can put anxiety-inducing situations on hold until you’re feeling better. It’s easier to cope with stress when you feel level-headed and healthy. For example, if you know your period is approaching, try to get frustrating errands, projects, or homework done in advance. That way, you won’t feel so bogged down during your period.

POD is where you submit an electronic copy of your book and have a vendor print the book for you. The vendors usually try to distribute your book to other sellers (such as Barnes & Noble), but often they just offer the book online. The advantages of publishing POD include:  Having a physical copy of the book, which is potentially valuable as a marketing tool. Leaving the physical printing of the book to a vendor, who handles all the production. Having a source that will distribute your book to perhaps major sellers worldwide. The disadvantages of publishing POD include:  POD publishing costs more money. You may have a physical copy of the book by the end, but your production costs will skyrocket compared to e-books. You have to format the book to the vendor's specifications, which are sometimes idiosyncratic. Each vendor will have a list of formatting specs that you need to meet before submitting your book. Not as much marketing and distribution as you might think. Vendors may help market and distribute your book, but not as much as you might think. Often, POD vendors simply sell books online, and you're responsible for any major marketing and distribution. There are plenty of POD vendors out there for struggling writers who want a physical copy of their book, but who have very little in the way of money. Some services include Lulu, Lighning Source or Createspace. The formatting could be different from website to website, so be prepared for some potentially confusing directions. Once you've formatted the book and submitted it to the vendor, they should take care of the rest of the process.

PPD can manifest itself in individuals in different ways. In order to be sure that you have PPD, you need to have experienced at least four of the symptoms listed:  A strong belief or suspicion that other people are out to get you through deception, inducing harm, and/or exploitation Have a hard time banking on the loyalty of friends, office mates, and even family members. Have trouble venting out and sharing thoughts with others because of fear that the information you shared will be used against you in the future. Have trouble distinguishing remarks that are innocent or malicious. Gets easily offended of benign or random statements that are actually not meant to threaten or demean. Have the inclination to hold grudges for a very long time and is unforgiving of insults and physical injuries. Consistently see attacks of your person and reputation that is not perceived as such by other people. This erroneous assumption often results in severe counterattacks. Have a hard time trusting a partner (spouse or sexual partner) thinking that he or she is cheating on you at any given time. There are many theories surrounding the real cause of PPD but experts agree that it is a combination of psychological, social, and biological factors. How the brain is wired as it develops through adulthood is a possible cause. How a person was raised and learned to cope with problems can also contribute to the onset of PPD. Emotional trauma due to abuses in the past can also contribute to the development of PPD. Most people with Paranoid Personality Disorder also have someone in the family who suffers from schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions. Heredity can also be a big factor in the causation of PPD. Believe it or not, your paranoia does not need to control your life. With the help of a professional therapist, you can manage your fears. It will take time, hard work, and dedication, but you will eventually regain control of your life. As soon as you begin to notice symptoms of this disorder, seek help. Research shows that...

PREP simply stands for “Point, Reason, Example, Point,” and it's a simple way to structure your thoughts. Start off with the gist of what you'll say. For example, imagine you're asked to give an impromptu speech in favor of casual Fridays: Begin by saying you think casual Fridays are good because they boost employee morale. Keep in mind you're trying to convince your listeners. For example, you could remind them that employee morale is important because it raises productivity and reduces turnover. To sound believable, you'll need to give some evidence or an explanation. Providing an example will do just that. Continuing with the same example, you could mention how a competitor, like the Acme corporation, has been more successful since implementing casual Fridays. Telling listeners basically what you already told them will drive things home. Ending with a restatement of your main point will help it stick in their minds. For instance, just close with your point that casual Fridays would be good for your company, too.

PRICE stands for protection, rest, immobilization, compression and elevation. All of these things will help to relieve the pain of a pinched nerve and can easily be done at home.   Protection: Protecting the nerve means avoiding further damage or injury. To protect the hip you should avoid exposing it to heat (from baths, saunas, heat packs etc.) and avoid excessive movement.  Rest: It is recommended to avoid any activities that may cause further injury to the affected area for the first 24 to 72 hours. Try to sit or lie down as much as possible.  Immobilization: A splint and bandages are usually put on the affected area to immobilize it and prevent further injury.  Compression: Make a cold compress by wrapping an ice pack in a damp towel and applying it to the injured area for 15 to 20 minutes every two to three hours each day. The cold helps to numb pain and reduce inflammation.  Elevation: To elevate the hip, place one or two pillows under the hip so that it is elevated above heart level while lying down.This promotes good blood circulation to the injured area and aids in healing. A gentle massage with warm oil will be beneficial in relaxing a pinched nerve. You can ask someone else to perform the hip massage, or make an appointment with a massage therapist.  A good massage uses long, firm strokes and constant pressure to relax the hip muscles, reduce spasms and relieve tension in the nerve. Sometimes gentle vibration is beneficial for relaxing the muscles and nerves. You will not be able to relieve a pinched nerve with a single massage - a few massage sessions will be necessary to allow the muscle to let go of the pinched nerve, affording you longer-lasting relief. This exercise works out and stretches the hip muscles and the muscles in the lower back, therefore relieving rigidity and pressure to the hip.  Sit in a chair with the feet flat on the floor. If the hip pain is on the left side, place your left ankle on top of your right knee. (If the hip pain is on the right side, do the opposite). Make sure...

PST stands for Personal Storage Tables. When they get too big they often get corrupted, leading to errors. They can, however, be fixed. It isn't incredibly difficult, but you still want to make sure the other two methods didn't work first. They are simpler and less invasive. That said, using a PST repair program is not very difficult, and is generally safe. Even better, Microsoft bundles a repair program right with Outlook called Inbox Repair. For Windows Users, you may have a program called "Scanpst.exe" that will do this for you. For Mac users, you may not have the option to use Scanpst. In this case, you must go search online to download an "Outlook PST Repair" program.  Sites like CNET have Outlook PST Repair programs for free. Scanpst is sometimes hidden. To find it, copy the following into a search bar: Program Files\Microsoft Office\. Then click OFFICE and scroll to Scanpst. Head back to the Account Settings (either through Tools or File → Info) and click on the tab labeled "Data Files." You'll see a list of all your email address. Click the one with the issue and then select the button "Open File Location." This will open a window showing your .pst file on your computer.\ Remember this location on your computer -- you'll need it later. Now that you know where it is, click on "Browse" or "Load PST" and cue up your Outlook file. On some programs, you may be able to just click and drag it over from your old file. The first step is a scan of your PST files. More likely than not, it will then offer to repair them. Click "Repair" to fix up your old file, which should prevent any further issues. Repair will automatically create a backup of the PST file, so don't worry about losing old data. Once you've repaired your old file, simply drop it next to the old one. Remove the broken file, putting it in a new, separate folder for safe keeping in case something went wrong. If you're having trouble syncing up the new file, simply return to the "Data Files" screen in Account Settings. From there, you'll find the...

Pack a lunch and strike out for adventure. Look up local parks in your area and choose a scenic trail. You don't need to go on an epic hike--just strolling around a small, local park can be a gratifying encounter with nature.

Pack the essentials: undergarments, shoes, a set or two of regular clothes, entertainment, medication and, for longer flights, basic toiletries. Some people fly as if they may never see their luggage again – and that has some merit. Keep in your carry-on the minimum of what you need to survive should you lose your luggage.  Double-check TSA guidelines before packing something in your carry-on. You don't want to have to throw anything away. Make sure to take all your medication and everything you need to be comfortable. Prescription and non-prescription medication are allowed. It’s easier to get extra liquids through security if they’re medically needed, like with saline solution. In order to cut down on the amount of clothes to pack, choose items that are interchangeable. Stick to a few items that all go together, rather than completely separate outfits. Use accessories to spice up an outfit. For example, scarves are small and easy to pack, and can be used as a scarf, headband, or even a belt. Take your swimsuit if you are traveling by air, put it within your vacation gear, especially if you are a woman. If your bags are lost when traveling by air, most items (such as shorts or T-shirts) can usually be purchased at your destination. However, if your bags are lost, swimsuits for women can be hard to shop for. If you do not have your swimsuit you may miss out on the beach, hot tub, or other vacation fun. Anything valuable should come with you in your carry-on. On the off-chance your luggage gets lost or damaged, your carry on should not leave your possession. If you'd be heartbroken if you lost it, take it in your carry-on if you take it at all.  For safety reasons, any electronic items with lithium ion batteries, including most laptops, smartphones, tablets, should be packed into your carry on instead of checked luggage whenever possible, per FAA recommendations. In addition, power banks and spare lithium ion batteries should always go into your carry on instead of checked luggage. Pack large electronics last,...

Packing properly will allow the chest and waist straps to bear more of the load, and for the weight to sit on top of your shoulders, rather than pull straps down into them. It will also make it easier to turn and keep your feet as maneuverable as possible. Keep the weight toward the back of the pack, resting against your frame. Some rucksacks have openings on the bottom that allow you to unzip and remove items quickly and easily from the base of the sack. These big backcountry-style rucksacks can hold a tremendous amount of weight, meaning that you'll need to play with weight distribution a little more carefully than with a smaller pack that sits higher on your frame. Set your rucksack upright while you pack the bag and keep weight dispersed over both sides evenly. Follow the same pattern with other items as they are placed in each compartment, taking care to balance the weight from left to right. Doing so helps to reduce fatigue and stress by distributing the load evenly between the shoulders. If you have an internal frame or frameless rucksack, place the flattest items against the panel that lies against your back. Avoid placing soft or bulky items here, since they can deform the shape of the bag, reducing the structural integrity. When you're hoofing around, this can cause uncomfortable bumps or protrusions that will irritate your back. Pack your clothes last, unless they make up the most substantial amount of material in your bag. Clothes are the easiest items to use as gap-fillers and jam into the remaining cracks. Plus, you can always get away with having one less pair of gym shorts in an emergency. Roll clothing tightly rather than folding it. This will allow the clothes to take up less room while also reducing wrinkles from crushing. Make sure that only enough clothing for the excursion is taken along, as this will help to preserve room for other essentials. This is especially important if hiking or biking for long distances. Opinions vary on how much weight is considered reasonable, although most...

Paddling in tandem (with a partner) is similar to paddling on your own, with some crucial differences. When two people are sitting in the same boat, it's important to keep the boat "trim" — that is, to make sure it sits balanced in the water. Thus, you'll want one person sitting at the bow (front) of the boat and the other at the stern (back). This should be the sitting arrangement that feels most natural and balanced.  If one person is significantly heavier than the other, you may want to consider putting more of your gear at this person's end of the canoe to evenly distribute the weight. In traditional canoe terms, the person sitting at the bow is called the bowman and the person at the stern is called the sternman. When paddling as a team, you want to synchronize your strokes (start and finish them at the same time) to get maximum power. Since the bowman is facing forward and can't see the sternman, the bowman sets the pace. This means it is up to the stern man to match his strokes to the bowman's, not the other way around. Of course, both paddlers can (and should) talk to each other to figure out a comfortable pace — good communication is key for a quick, happy voyage. The person sitting in the stern of the boat will almost always have an easier time determining the direction of the boat than the person in front. Thus, the sternman is responsible for making sure the boat is going in the right direction. She should use her normal strokes as well as special techniques like J strokes and sweeps to keep the boat pointed forward. The bowman may assist in turns, but will not usually be able to take a leading role. The reason that the sternman has greater control over the boat's steering has to do with the force of resistance the water puts on the boat. Essentially, since the bow of the boat is responsible for "cutting" through the water, it is constantly feeling the resistance of the water that it pushes out of the way. The stern, on the other hand, doesn't have this problem, so it usually feels less of a...

Pads and tampons can come in noisy wrapping. When you’re searching for them in your bag, move the rest of your bag around to create noises that will disguise the sound of you hiding your pad or tampon. The clatter of pens and keys are a good distraction from the sound of plastic. You will find that there are many places on your body that you can hide something small. Tampons, especially applicator-free ones, are discreet when your fist is closed. They might be more difficult to keep in your sleeve, but you can usually hold them in place with a finger or two. Since your feet are under your desk, this is more discreet than putting it in your pocket.  Slide your bag or whatever your items are in between your legs.  Reach inside and slide your pad or tampon into your shoe or sock. It might be a good idea to bend down to put something away when doing this, or else come back up with an item, so that you have an excuse for reaching into your bag. If you keep your items in your locker, you won’t have to worry about taking them out of class. Try to keep your emergency supplies for emergencies, and bring new supplies to school when you know that you’ve started your period. Bringing a bag might be more visible, but you may just not want to deal with digging around for your hygiene products in the middle of class. A pencil case can work as well. If you need to come back for your items, take something else with you, like a water bottle or a wallet. That way, you can pretend that you are refilling your water bottle, or getting something from the vending machine. Some people actually keep pads or tampons hidden in water bottles.  Panty liners and applicator-free tampons will also fit easily inside of a wallet. If you have a phone case with a flap that closes, you can squeeze your pad into that spot. Reach into your bag with your phone in your hand, slide the pad in, and put your phone in your pocket.

Pads are available at any auto parts store or your local car dealership. Just let them know the year, make and model of your car and select a pad in your price range. In general, the more expensive they are, the longer they last. Some very expensive pads with a higher-than-desirable metal content may be aimed at the 'Rally' market for use with performance Rotors. You'll probably want to avoid these because they are likely to cause premature wear of standard Rotors. Also, some people find that less expensive pads are noisier than "brand name" pads.

Pain alone is not necessarily an indication that you have a dry socket. However, if you feel increased pain two days after the surgery in addition to other dry socket symptoms, your socket is probably dry. Usually, a dry socket heals itself after five days and the pain disappears. All you have to do is maintain good hygiene and avoid getting food stuck in the extraction site. Look for these issues to determine if you might have a dry socket:  Exposed bone. Look into your mouth at the surgical wound. If you don't see a scab, and you do see exposed bone, you have a dry socket. Bad breath. A bad smell coming from your mouth could be an indication that the wound isn't healing properly. A dry socket must be treated by your dentist or surgeon to make sure it properly heals. The dentist will dress the wound with a salve and gauze to promote cell generation in the area. You may be given an extra painkiller prescription to deal with the increased pain, which can radiate from your mouth up to your ears.  Carefully follow the dentist's instructions for caring for a dry socket. Don't smoke, eat chewy foods, or otherwise exacerbate the situation. You may be asked to return every day to have your dressing changed. Eventually new tissue will form over the socket, covering the bone and the exposed wound which contains nerves and vessels. It may take a month or longer to fully heal.

Pain can change a dog's behavior. Even a friendly dog in great pain will be more likely to bite.  Even a dog that has never bitten before may bite when approached if it is experiencing significant pain. A dog in pain may also bite if you touch or move a painful area. The natural response, when a painful area is touched, is to turn toward that area. The dog may try to bite out of instinct. You may first see warning signs such as growling. A dog on the verge of biting may pin its ears back or show its teeth. This is a natural protection mechanism that a dog may use to try to prevent further pain. A dog in pain may decrease its food consumption. If your dog suddenly has a decreased appetite, this may be a sign of pain. A dog with mouth pain may also drop food when it eats. A dog in pain may experience restlessness or an inability to get comfortable. Your dog may show this by pacing, repeatedly readjusting its position, or getting up and down frequently. A dog in pain may experience changes in its normal sleep schedule. A dog in pain may either sleep more than usual, or have difficulty sleeping. Unusual vocalizations including moaning, groaning, whimpering, yipping, and even growling can all be signs of pain.  These sounds may be associated with particular movements, such as when first getting up. That can help to give you a clue about the nature of the pain.  A dog that is normally vocal may also suddenly become quiet. Avoidance behaviors, such as hiding or shying away from contact with people or other animals are common when a dog is in pain. These behaviors are efforts to avoid potentially painful situations.  If your dog moves its head away when you try to pet it or makes other moves to avoid touch, this can be a sign it is in pain. Take note of such behaviors if your dog normally likes being touched. These behaviors can go along with a dog being more withdrawn and less interactive than normal. You may also notice an attitude of depression or mental dullness if your dog is experiencing pain.  Note that some...

Pain is sometimes experienced with tooth cavities. This occurs because of the depth of the cavity. To address pain, the patient may take over-the-counter pain relievers. These should be taken as needed and never be taken in excess. The edges of tooth cavities are not always smooth; it could be jagged, rough, and sharp. The sharp edges can cause tissue trauma. There is a simple, temporary solution to this problem:  Gently run your tongue along your teeth, taking note of areas with sharpness. Roll a small amount of dental wax, and place it over the sharp edges. Run your tongue over the area to check for any sharpness; if there are any sharp edges left, place dental wax on the area. Repeat these steps as needed. Application of dental wax is a temporary solution; the wax will fall off during use. However, it is a simple way to prevent tissue trauma while waiting for your dental appointment. There are instances where a patient cannot visit their dentist for a permanent filling. During these times, the patient would feel bothered and uncomfortable because of the cavity. To address the cavity, they could use a temporary filling material which is available at most pharmacies. These come with simple instructions:  Clean the tooth. Remove any food build-up at the area. Dry the tooth using cotton swab. The kit would come with an applicator; using this, scoop some temporary filling material and pack the tooth cavity. Gently bite to ensure the height of the filling. Clean any excess material around the tooth. Let the temporary filling set. Do not eat, drink, or bite on the area for the next 30 minutes to allow complete setting of the temporary filling. The above three steps are temporary ways on how to temporarily deal with your tooth cavity while waiting for a permanent filling from your dentist. A dental visit and consultation is required even if you do not feel pain or sharpness, or have filled the tooth with a temporary filling. The dentist would replace these temporary and short term solutions with a permanent and...

Pain or discomfort in the abdomen or stomach will intensify as a cancer progresses and a tumor grows. The pain associated with stomach cancer will generally increase in intensity over time, and will not subside with medication. Stomach tumors can compress surrounding structures, while ulcerative cancer can erode the stomach's membranes. Both of these two things can cause stomach pain. Cancer cells secrete substances that diminish the body's hunger signals. This, combined with a tumor tricking your stomach into feeling full, can lead to a distinct loss of appetite. As a result, as cancer progresses, a patient can suffer severe weight loss. If you think you are losing your appetite and losing weight for no reason, keep a record of your weight loss and talk to your doctor. Over time more fluid will build up in your stomach and you may begin to notice lumps and swelling in your stomach. In cancer of the stomach, patients may feel a hard, irregular lump in the abdomen. This lump will move with breathing, and may fall forward when you bend over. A developed cancer may cause a hard mass in the left-upper abdomen in the area of the stomach. When stomach cancer reaches more advanced stages, it can cause continuous bleeding, which is lost as excrement. This will result in bloody or black stools. Check for blood in your stools after going to the bathroom. Look to see if they are very dark, and black like tar.  If you experience constipation or diarrhea, this can be a symptom of stomach cancer.  Always be completely open when discussing any symptoms in your waste with a doctor.

Pain relievers can be helpful for blister burn pain. Even if you have run cool water over the burn and covered it, you may still feel pain or throbbing in the blister. Taking OTC pain meds can help reduce the pain. You may want to start taking them as soon as you get the blister burn instead of waiting for the blister to start hurting. Try ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), naproxen sodium (Aleve), or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Make sure to follow the suggested manufacturer's dosage guidelines. If you have a blister burn, you can use an antibiotic cream or moisturizing lotion on the burn to help prevent infection. Gently apply a thin layer of cream or lotion. If you are planning on covering the blister burn with gauze or a bandage, do not use a water-based cream. Common burn creams include Bacitracin or Neosporin. You can also use an ointment like petroleum jelly. You may also try aloe vera lotion or gel. If the burn blister has become infected, it is strongly recommended that you see a physician. Infections of the skin can be deep and serious conditions. If the blister burn is filled with anything other than a clear fluid, there is a chance it is infected.    If you have a fever, have any streaks on the skin around the blister, or the blister is very reddened and swollen, see a physician immediately. These may be signs of an infection. Any young child or elderly person should always be seen for any blister burns to minimize the risk of infections and scarring.

Pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) can offer some relief from the discomfort of braces. Take a dose of acetaminophen (usually two tablets) every four hours.   Follow the instructions on the label to ensure proper dosage.  You can also take ibuprofen (Advil) instead of Tylenol, although some dentists and orthodontists discourage ibuprofen because it can slow down the process of your teeth moving. At the very least, do not take both kinds of medication – choose one! There are a number of over-the-counter medications available that can numb mouth discomfort that you are experiencing. These are typically anesthetic, meaning that they numb the pain for a few hours, and they come in mouthwashes, rinses and gels. Products such as Orajel and Colgate Orabase can provide some relief. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application. Some people experience allergies when using these products, so you should be sure to consult the instructions before proceeding. Salt water will soothe your mouth and treat any sores that may have developed because of the braces rubbing against your cheeks. To make a salt water rinse, put a teaspoon of table salt into a glass of warm water. Stir to dissolve all of the salt. Put a mouthful of this mixture into your mouth and gently swish it around for about one minute. Spit it out in the sink. Repeat several times a day, particularly in the first few days and whenever you are feeling more pain than normal. Hydrogen peroxide is an antiseptic and can reduce inflammation that irritates your mouth. Mix one part water with one part 3% hydrogen peroxide in a glass. Put a mouthful of this mixture in your mouth and gently swish it around for about one minute. Spit it out in the sink. Repeat a few times a day.  There are hydrogen peroxide-based products available at grocery and drug stores that are geared toward treating mouth sores and offering relief, such as Colgate Peroxyl Mouthwash. The taste of hydrogen peroxide might be off-putting to some people, as is the foam that...

Paint acts as a sealant, protecting the wood partially from moisture or stripping. Most paint is also easy to accidentally strip away, as well. When in doubt, clean your baseboards as if they were natural wood to protect the wood and the paint. Get off all the surface stains with a quick, easy wipe. You could also use:  A "Magic Eraser," or similar stain/scuff fighting product.  Wet wipes. An old sock! Put it on a toilet cleaning brush and then dip it in warm water. It looks silly, but you won't have to bend down as much. Use your damp cloth, work on a stain, then dry it off. This is just a preliminary clean to make your work more effective, so don't spend hours on one stain. Just wash off anything easy to remove and make sure you've picked up the dust. Mineral spirits are a great, all-purpose cleaner, and work particularly well on scuffs. Use it to buff out any bad stains or issues, and wood cleaner will cover almost all baseboards. Always open some windows and work in a well-ventilated area when working with chemical cleaners. Dip it in your wood-cleaner or mineral spirits and get in there to really clean everything off. Cleaner left on the baseboards will just attract dust, letting it stick to the wet, tacky surface. Wipe it away to make sure everything stays clean. This little hack coats the baseboards with some cleaner and banishes static, keeping dust off the boards and keeping your house a little cleaner for a little longer.

Paint an even, solid layer of white paint over a small styrofoam ball.  The diameter of the ball should be about 1.5 inch (3.8-cm), or a little less than half the length of the clothespin you'll be using for the doll's body. Let the paint dry before you proceed past this step. If you don't want to paint the ball, you could wrap it in white organza or white nylons instead. Insert the pointed end of a wooden skewer into one side of the ball.  Choose a skewer that can slip securely into the gap of the clothespin you'll be using. Only insert the skewer halfway into the ball. Do not poke through to the other side. Make sure that the skewer goes into the ball at a straight angle. The portion of the skewer sticking out of the ball should be about as long as the gap in the clothespin. If necessary, trim it down using heavy scissors or a small saw. Slip the exposed portion of the skewer down into the gap of the clothespin.  Leave 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the skewer exposed in between the top of the clothespin and the head to serve as a neck. Ideally, pressure should be enough to hold the skewer in place. If it wants to move around inside of the gap, though, you can secure it in place with a little glue. Let the glue dry before continuing. You'll need to cut out one strip of paper for the bangs and a second strip for the back of the hair.  The bangs should be wide enough to wrap around half of the ball. They should be tall enough extend from the middle of the top of the head down to the middle front of the face. The back of the hair should be wide enough to wrap around half of the ball. The length of this piece can be as long as you would like it to be. Cover the entire top half of the head with a thin coat of glue. Lay the back of the hair on first, followed by the bangs.  The back piece must begin at the top of the head. Press this piece of black crepe paper onto the glue at the back of the head. It should naturally crease and flow back, away from the body, as a result. The bangs must also begin at the top of the head....

Paint that has dried onto clothing is a real pain to get off, and you might have to resign yourself to the fact that it will never be removed completely. All the same, you can get a surprising amount of it removed without any chemicals or fluid. Taking a butter knife or your fingernail, scrape the excess paint away from the stain. Because the paint has dried, it will actually come off in chunks. You won't be able to scrape the paint that has soaked into the fabric, but the simple act of scraping the stain may have a significant impact on removing it. Alcohol-based cleaners, like acetone nail polish remover or hairspray, are arguably your best bet for fighting acrylic-based spray paint stains. These cleaners will break the bonds in the acrylic plastic. Unfortunately, they're far less effective once the paint itself has set into the clothes. If the stain is completely dried and you haven't seen any improvement from the alcohol-based cleaners, a heavy-duty paint remover may do the trick. Keep in mind, however, that paint removers have some tough chemicals in them, and they might strip the dye from your shirt completely. As such, they should only be used as a last resort. Laundering clothes after treating a stain with an alcohol-based cleaner will at least offer some confirmation whether the stain is removable or not. If it comes out of the laundry with the stain in place, there's nothing you can do outside of covering it up. Luckily, certain stains (especially on black clothing) can be covered quite well with fabric pens and other "destaining" products. Because dried paint is essentially bound to the fabric it has stained, sometimes the best option is to fight one stain with another. There are fabric pens available that are specifically intended for covering up paint stains. Go to a arts or fabric store and try to find a pen that matches the colour of your clothes. Paint shows up on jeans like a sore thumb, but you may be in luck if denim is your problem. Because denim tends to be in shades of blue and black,...

Paint thinner is a harsh solvent and should only be used if other cleaning methods were ineffective. Don't apply paint thinner to water-based paint. Use caution when applying paint thinner to hardwood floors, as it may damage the finish. Place a box fan near one of the open windows to help keep the area well ventilated. You can find paint thinner at your local hardware or paint store. If you want to avoid the smell of paint thinner, you can use mineral spirits instead. Apply pressure to the rag while repeatedly rubbing it back and forth over the stain. Apply more paint thinner if the rag dries out and there's still more paint to be removed. Wipe off any excess paint thinner once the paint stain is gone.

Painting designs straight onto the wall without any stencils can be difficult, but it can also be a lot of fun. The result is unique, and each brushstroke is filled with beauty. This is a great technique for organic designs, such as curling vines and twisting branches. Here's a list of what you will need:  Paintbrushes Acrylic paint Paint palette Chalk, pencils, or watercolor pencils Cup of water Painter's tape (optional) Paper towels Use a light color for the outlines if your wall is dark. Use a dark color for your outlines if your wall is light. Start with the largest shapes first, then move onto the smaller ones. For example, if you are painting a cherry blossom branch, sketch out the branch first, then add the flowers. You don't need to add the details just yet, since your paint will likely cover those up. You will be painting your design on in layers. Consider using watercolor pencils that match your paint color. This will make them less visible once the paint dries. For example, if you are outlining a brown branch, use a brown watercolor pencil. If you are outlining some green leaves, use a green watercolor pencil. Pour some paint right out onto your paint palette. You will be starting from the largest shapes first. Avoid pouring out too much paint at one time. Acrylic paint dries fast. If you pour out too much paint at one time, the paint may dry out before you use it all. You can always pour out some more paint if you run low. If you apply the paint too thickly, you will get visible brush strokes. Consider using a small, pointy brush for organic, twisting designs. If you are painting lots of straight lines, consider using a small, flat brush. This will give your more control over your line work. If you want, you can tape the paper towel onto the wall next to your work; just make sure that it is folded thick enough so that the paint does not bleed through. Be mindful of the direction you are painting in. If you are right-handed, start from the left side of your design. If you are left-handed, start...

Painting them does not necessarily have to be part of every pedicure routine, but regular pedicures really make a difference in keeping your feet soft and free from dry and rough skin, and your toenails clean and neat. You don't need to spend a lot of cash to have your pedicure professionally done in a salon, and with a few tools, you can do your own pedicure right in the comforts of your own home. If you’re on your feet a lot and they tend to be sore, massage them before you start your pedicure. While this step isn't absolutely necessary, it's a nice way to pamper yourself a little. If you're already taking time to give yourself a pedicure, why not?  Knead the soles. Use your thumbs to press into the soles of your feet in a circular kneading pattern. This will help loosen the tight muscles there.  Stretch the toes. One by one, gently pull your toes back and forth to stretch them out and ease tightness and soreness. This will slough off dry and dead skin, and to moisturize your feet as well. The skin on your feet is thicker, and to keep it soft and smooth it’s important to remove dead skin with exfoliation.  Massage the scrub in circular motions, and rinse off afterward.  To exfoliate the hardened skin on the heels and bottom part of the feet, use a foot file or a pumice stone. Make sure to use a gentle filing motion, and to never rub too hard. If you have tough calluses, try a callus shaver to remove them from your heels and the sides of your toes. This will prevent them from getting larger and causing pain. Trimming your nails while they're still soft from soaking makes the task much easier. Remember to trim them straight across, and not too short. Use an orange stick or a cuticle pusher to gently push your cuticles back toward your skin. Finally, rub some cuticle oil on your nails and cuticles to moisturize the area and keep your cuticles from tearing.  Cut your toenails straight across, as opposed to a curved shape, to prevent ingrown toenails from occurring. If you would really prefer a rounded shape...

Paintings and other wall decorations placed high can make a space look bigger, while placing a painting above a couch and placing tables at either end will make that space look larger. Paintings can also help make a large wall look less blank. Mirrors placed on a wall can make a small space look larger, by reflecting light and creating the appearance of more room in the room. You can effectively double the amount of space it looks like you have! But be careful...mirrors can easily make a room look cheap. Rugs should be sized so that they just fill the area they are placed in. Rugs which are too small or too large can make a room look just that: too small or too large. High curtains will draw the eye up, creating the appearance of higher ceilings. It can also make a room look more proportional if your windows and ceilings are already high. If you want to make a small room look larger, use furniture which is sized down and then avoid items which give it away, such as cups, bowls, or other standard size items. This is the dollhouse effect, where your room will have the appearance of being large and spacious but further away. When placing accessories, or any furniture items, try to use symmetry. This is a quick cheat to making a furniture arrangement look better. Place a table on either side of a couch, a bookshelf on either side of a TV, a painting on either side of a table, etc.

Pair one or two key diamond pieces with non-diamond jewelry. For example, you could wear a diamond pendant or choker with thin silver bangle bracelets. Avoid matching diamond jewelry with black or gunmetal accessories. Diamonds look best when paired with other feminine pieces, and many black and gunmetal pieces are too masculine to coordinate well. Match a simple diamond pendant with a dainty diamond bracelet and diamond stud earrings.

Pair the correct size of line with your crankbait according to how deep you want the bait to run. For example, use a 10 lb (4.5 kg) fluorocarbon line to lighten up a deep diving crankbait or you can use the same 10 lb (4.5 kg) fluorocarbon line to get a medium diving crankbait to stay at its deepest range. The weight will range from ⅛ ounce to 2 ounces.  Remember that the slower you reel, the deeper your lure will swim while reeling fast keeps your lure shallow.  Blade size also affects how deep your lure will go but you can also add a trailer to your hook for buoyancy and movement. Plastic/rubber lures come in different shapes and sizes but remember they are meant to mimic worms or lizards so use lines that won’t easily get snagged in vegetation or debris where worms or lizards would commonly be found.

Pairing colors that complement each other and avoiding colors that clash is an essential part of putting together an outfit. When you're working with scarves and T-shirts, there are just a few basic color rules that you may want to keep in mind. See below:  When in doubt, use a color wheel. Shades that are directly across from each other on the wheel are complementary — that is, they look good together. Almost anything looks good paired with a neutral color. These include white, black, grey, and some shades of brown and tan. You can also pick a patterned scarf that incorporate the shirt color somewhere in the pattern. Sharing a color with your shirt makes your scarf look like it was meant to go with it. If you have a scarf with an intricate pattern, wear it with a simple, one-color shirt. Alternatively, if your shirt has a complex graphic or pattern you want to show off, wear it with a simple scarf. Balancing areas of simplicity and complexity ensures your outfit is never "too much" to look at. A good policy is to start with a solid color shirt and make this your base. Your base shirt can be long or short sleeved and can have whatever neckline you like since the scarf will most likely be covering the neckline. Pair this base with a patterned scarf that uses the same color, a complementary color or mostly neutral colors. Color and complexity aren't the only factors in play when you're making your outfit. Different shirt and scarf fabrics have different visual textures based on the material and the size of the stitching. Pair textures together to create areas of visual contrast so that your scarf stands out from the fabric around it. For instance, if you're wearing a cotton T-shirt, you might want to pair it with a thick wool scarf with large stitching so that it contrasts with the shirt. You probably wouldn't want to pair it with a scarf made from material that's similar to the T-shirt. The way you wear your scarf around your neck can affect how your overall outfit looks. Wearing a scarf loosely draped around...

Pale skin, depending on undertones, can work with a variety of hair shades. If you aren’t sure which shade will complement your skin best, stay close to your natural hue. This will likely be the most flattering option. Very dark, or even black hair against pale skin can make for a very flattering and classic look. A number of factors, including skin color, hair color, and eye color, determine what clothing colors look best on you. However, arguably the most important factor is your natural undertones. If you have cool undertones, try wearing lavender or gray. If your undertones are warmer, stick with creams, corals, and olives. If you have neutral undertones, opt for colors like red and white.  If you’re a redhead, stay away from colors similar to your hair on the color wheel (i.e. red, pink, orange). Instead, look for colors opposite of your hair, such as green, blue and purple. Pastels typically look gorgeous against light skin. Beware of certain shades of yellow, as they can make you look sick. Pantyhose can help even out the tone of your legs while maintaining your gorgeous look. You can still pick a light-colored tone of pantyhose so that they look natural. In hot weather and/or in more casual settings when you may not want to wear pantyhose, show off your bare legs by using a rich, shimmery moisturizer on them. Make sure you take care of any body hair, especially if you have naturally dark body hair. Hair shows up very easily against light skin, so it's best to take care of hair regularly, especially if you have a bit of a unibrow or a mustache. You can consider waxing this hair, or you can just work on plucking your eyebrows or any stray hairs on your face or body. If you have naturally blonde body hair, then you don’t need to worry as much. Blonde hair blends well with pale skin and doesn't need to be taken care of nearly as often. Everyone thinks tan is terrific, but pale is just as beautiful. Realizing that being different from the norm is the first step to embracing your unique beauty and gaining a...

Palm Sunday is exactly one week before Easter. Palm Sunday celebrates Christ's entry into Jerusalem. It also marks the beginning of Holy Week. The entire week is often referred to as “Holy Week,” but the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday immediately before Easter in particular are recognized as dates of significance in the Christian calendar.  Maundy Thursday celebrates the Last Supper of Christ. It also recognizes the "washing of feet," a biblical event during which Jesus washed the feet of his Apostles. Many Christian denominations celebrate the maundy (washing of feet) as a church ordinance. Good Friday recognizes the day that Christ was crucified. Holy Saturday commemorates the time during which Christ's body lay in the tomb. It is typically viewed as a day of preparation for Easter Sunday. Trace back to the Sunday that came six calendar weeks earlier. The Wednesday immediately before that date is Ash Wednesday.  In other words, Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter each year. Ash Wednesday is a formal day of repentance in many Christian churches. It also marks the first day of Lent, a period of 40 days over which Christians are to spiritually prepare for Easter. Ascension Day is a Christian holiday that falls exactly 39 days after Easter Sunday. Ascension Day celebrates Christ's ascension into heaven. In some Christian denominations, it is also considered the “fortieth day of Easter,” meaning that all the days in between Easter Sunday and Ascension Day are part of the broader Easter season.

Palm trees do not have large tap roots that support it, so they must be temporarily braced to keep them standing until their roots become established. That is, unless you are using the washed plaster sand backfill. This normally provides enough rigidity to avoid using braces.  Wrap the trunk at least 1/4 up the tree's height with a 16 inch (40.6 cm) wide piece of burlap to keep the bracing board cleats from chaffing the bark when the tree tries to sway in high winds. Drive stakes on three sides, equidistant apart around the tree's circumference, and fasten lumber support braces (2X4 treated lumber will work) to blocks of wood secured to the trunk with tie wire, placed over the burlap. You may want to create a small earthen dam around the root ball to keep the water from shedding away from the tree's roots while you water, particularly if the tree is on a hillside or in soil that doesn't absorb water easily.  Mulching the base of the tree will also help to keep the soil moist.  Use about 3 inches (7.6 cm) of non-compacting mulch. Remember, transplanting your palm tree already poses a shock. Unfortunately, adding fertilizer poses another shock. To minimize the shock your tree might experience and maximize its chances of thriving, don't fertilize until six to eight weeks after planting.  When you do decide to fertilize, remember to use a slow-acting fertilizer, and hold off placing the fertilizer directly near the trunk. Place the fertilizer one or two feet around the trunk of the tree to avoid over-fertilizing. You should also consider improving your palm’s soil with mycorrhizal fungi. Palms evolved to have a symbiotic relationship with these fungi and thrive when they are present in the soil, as the fungi colonize the tree’s root system and help it take in nutrients and water. You can purchase mycorrhizal treatments online or from plant stores. The establishment period will depend on the type of tree, its size, and whether it was a container plant or a wrapped root ball specimen.  Generally, the roots should...

Pancreatic cancer usually develops for a long time before causing distressing enough symptoms to cause one to seek medical help. One may be blessed to have severe enough digestive issues (such as a bile duct blockage) to lead to early enough detection to be surgically operable in an early stage, before stage III or IV. Once they start to develop, there are some common early non-specific symptoms that occur. These include:  Fatigue, unexplained tiredness Pain in the abdomen or middle of the back Bloating, possibly repeated diarrhea Nausea, or chronic indigestion (possibly vomiting) Rapid changes in blood sugar levels Diabetes or sudden onset of diabetes Loss of appetite Weight loss Blood clots in later stages If there is jaundice with bile insufficiency because of a duct blockage:  Yellowing skin and/or of the whites of your eyes Orange or brownish urine Light colored stool, such as chalky-gray or white (brown stool is normal) Smelly, greasy, floating stool There are certain factors that put you more at risk for pancreatic cancer than others. These risk factors include: The risk factors for pancreatic cancer include:  Being over 50, most are over 65 Smoking Your ethnic background, because African-Americans are at a higher risk Past history of chronic pancreatitis or chronic inflammation of the pancreas Family history of this cancer, especially two or more close relatives, as well as breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer in the family Obesity, poor diet choices Diabetic persons who develop diabetes over age 50 have eight times the usual risk of developing pancreatic adenocarcinoma within three years, after which the relative risk declines.  Excessive consumption of red or processed meat History of heavy alcohol use or alcoholism Environmental or workplace exposure to certain pesticides, dyes, and chemicals If you notice any symptoms of pancreatic cancer, you should see your doctor. Many of these symptoms may be a sign of other health problems as well, so talk to your doctor about what else your symptoms mean. You...

Panic attacks can happen to anyone, but they are far more common for people who have panic disorder, an anxiety disorder characterized by frequent attacks of intense fear and anxiety. They can be triggered by just about any situation, not only dangerous or threatening ones. Physical symptoms of a panic attack include:  Chest pain. This is generally localized to one area of your chest, rather than radiating across the left side of your body as with a heart attack.  Dizziness or faintness A sensation of choking or not being able to get enough air Nausea or vomiting. Vomiting is less likely with panic attacks than with heart attacks. Numbness or tingling sensations Rapid heartbeat Shortness of breath Sweating, clammy skin, or hot flashes Trembling or shaking During severe panic attacks, your hands or feet may cramp up or even become temporarily paralyzed. This symptom is thought to be caused by hyperventilation. In addition to physical symptoms, panic attacks are generally accompanied by mental or emotional symptoms. These may include:  Intense feelings of fear Fear of dying Fear of losing control Sense of doom Sense of detachment Sense of unreality The symptoms of a panic attack and a heart attack overlap in some areas. If you are in any doubt whether you are having a panic attack or a heart attack, call for emergency medical help. The symptoms of a heart attack include:  Chest pain. In heart attacks, this often feels like a sense of pressure, fullness, or squeezing. It usually lasts more than a few minutes. Pain in the upper body. The pain may radiate to your arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach area in a heart attack. Shortness of breath. This may happen before you experience chest pain. Anxiety. You may feel fear or doom suddenly. Dizziness or faintness Sweating Nausea or vomiting. Heart attacks are more likely to cause vomiting than panic attacks.

Panic attacks occur when your brain is overcome with signals from bodily systems, such as the adrenal gland. These attacks are characterized by physical distress such as shortness of breath, fear, and vertigo. They can be brought on by stressful situations or a psychological trigger from a past event.  To avoid panic attacks, try to stay away from smoking or caffeine. (You may be forced to do this in a doomsday scenario in any case.) Work on controlling your breathing and focusing on taking control of your body. Understand what triggers your panic attacks and try to acknowledge the stress. If you think through what makes you panic, you can work to mentally overcome or avoid the trigger. Studies have shown that you can reduce stress by practicing deep breathing techniques. To practice these techniques you must be in tune with your body.  Try to practice deep breathing by focusing on deep breaths through your nose and out through your mouth. Try and relax further with each breath and develop a consistent breathing routine. Yoga is also a helpful way to practice healthy breathing techniques. There are many helpful tutorials online to teach you basic yoga techniques. Some basic poses that can help your breathing techniques include warrior pose and sun salutation. Transference, or re-directing your emotions, is the conscious act of cognitively switching off or moving past strong emotion. This takes time and practice and may not be an easy skill to develop.  Learn to recognize your emotions first. This may seem difficult. Practice by writing down the strong emotions you feel and what is happening in your environment. This journal will help you to associate situations with emotions. Then, try to mentally stimulate another emotion. For example, if you know something triggers panic in you, try to embody a sense of calmness. Practicing this will help you do this automatically, although it may be difficult. You never want to “space out” during a doomsday event.  However, learning to disconnect from your emotions and...

Pansies can flower all year round, depending on the climate of where you live or Hardiness Zone. Each country defines its own Hardiness Zones, which details each region's ability to grow certain plants. If you're planting seeds, the goal is to avoid blooming pansies in hot temperatures such as in July or August in most climates. So in most climates, the best time to plant pansy seeds is during the fall or after the frost in late winter. This way, you avoid the hot temperatures of the summer and the freezing temperatures of the winter and can catch a fall or early spring bloom. If you're planting matured pansies, transfer them to your outdoor garden in the spring or autumn.  If you live in a mild climate with mild winters, you can expect to see your pansies blooming all throughout the winter. The most accurate way to find the best time to plant pansies is to look up your area's hardiness zone which can usually be found on your city or country's website and look to see if they provide any plant survival data or suggested planting dates. Pansies are able to survive in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 through 8. Whether you're planting your pansies in pots or in the ground in your garden, a spot with full sun or partial sun is best. Too much shade can reduce the number of flowers that bloom and the size of your pansies. It can also cause your pansies to look spindly or grow too tall from seeking out sunlight.  Look for a location that allows for 6 to 12 hours of sunlight a day.  Growing your pansies at least in partial sun can help prevent common diseases like blight and rot. Pansies grow best in a cool environment. If you live in a place where summers can get quite hot, keep your pansies in partial shade. This means a tree or bush is nearby to create shade at certain times during the day, especially around noon when the sun is the brightest. Don't plant pansies in the same location 3 years in a row. This space will have begun to build up fungus diseases in the soil that could feed on your plants. Leaving the space empty...

Pansy seeds will grow in long fall climates or they’ll remain dormant until the next spring in many areas. Therefore, in order to fool pansies into blooming again, you will need to remove the seed pods before the seeds fully form. This can be achieved by pinching the spent blooms from the plant, cutting back extra growth, and fertilizing for blooms rather than leaves. Check your pansy twice a week for any blooms that have died. Remove all dying blooms from the pansy plant to encourage the plant to put its energy towards new blooms and growth.  Remove any damaged blooms when you remove dead blooms. Be careful not to accidentally remove any new blooms. Water the plant to keep the soil around the pansy moist. Pansies enjoy soil that is damp. Try to apply a phosphorus fertilizer but avoid applying nitrogen to the area unless the fertilizer is a slow release variety, as pansies generally can’t handle high levels of nitrogen. If the plant is allowed to dry out or receives too little nutrition it will stop producing blooms and need to be replanted. Cut back growth and leggy stems from the plant because these areas will not produce new blooms. When these parts of the plant are allowed to grow unchecked, they can drain the energy of the plant, causing it to produce less blooms. If you find any existing seed pods, remove them right away. If your plant is an heirloom you may be able to save the adult pod and collect seeds to start more pansy plants indoors. If the plant stops producing blooms and begins to die back, you will most likely need to replace the plant with a new blooming pansy in order to benefit from new fall color.  If this occurs frequently do not feel like you’ve failed; certain areas of the country simply are not suited for year round pansy growth. If you can’t find new pansies at your greenhouse to plant in the fall, remember that pansies are simple to start from seed indoors. Plan ahead for next year and start the seedlings indoors four to six weeks before fall. After the temperatures get warmed, plant...

Papaya can be hard to find in most places, especially unripe, the way it needs to be for som tam. If you have trouble finding papaya, simply swap it out for kohlrabi, cabbage mix, daikon radish or cucumber. Any of these mild root vegetables will have the right crunchy texture, and when shredded or julienned will be perfect for soaking up the tangy dressing.  When substituting other vegetables for papaya, make sure you buy them before they’re fully ripe so that they’ll be firm. Mild melons like cantaloupe can also work as a tasty replacement. If you’re a vegan, or just find fish sauce to be particularly unpalatable, just add a little extra salt to the dressing instead. A little white vinegar can also do the trick, and will provide the liquid you need to blend the dressing. The main purpose of the fish sauce is impart a salty, pungent flavor, so it’s easy to achieve the same effect without having to work with an ingredient you can’t stomach. Other salty condiments like soy sauce are not recommended, as they’ll throw off the flavors of the salad. Palm sugar is the go-to sweetener for most Southeast Asian and Malaysian cuisine, but it’s not available everywhere, and it might taste a bit strange to those who aren’t used to it. Luckily, light brown sugar makes a perfect replacement. It’s sweet and just a bit earthy, and it will dissolve and thicken well in the lime juice. Play around with the amount of sugar that goes into the dressing if you want to offset the spice of the chilies. Since the components of som tam are prepared individually and then assembled, it’s an easy recipe to customize. Adjust the amounts of herbs and aromatics to taste, or substitute some of your other favorite vegetables instead. You might choose to crank up the heat from the chilies, or leave them out altogether. The choices are nearly endless! Top the salad with fresh grilled shrimp, beef or chicken rather than dried shrimp for a heartier meal version of som tam.

Paper mache is a great for making a helmet that is 3-dimensional, hollow, durable and light-weight. While you can always buy a Darth Vader helmet from a toy store or costume store, making one from paper mache is easy and fun. You will need:  Newspaper Paper mache mix (1 part flour to 5 parts water) Saucepan Mixing bowl Balloon 3-4 empty cereal boxes Masking tape Recycled plastic container Hot glue and glue gun Black spray paint High gloss spray varnish Mix together 1 part flour to 5 cups water in a Saucepan. Boil for three minutes and let cool. This method produces an even, smooth paste.  You can also add equal parts water and flour, and then stir together in a mixing bowl. Do not add salt to the mixture as it makes the paper mache difficult to mold. You will use the balloon to create the base of your paper mache sculpture/helmet. Inflate the balloon and place it in a plastic bucket to prevent it from moving around. Add a single layer of paper mache to the balloon by dipping strips of newspaper into the paste and sticking them directly onto the balloon. Let everything dry before starting the next step. Paper mache can get messy. Use a flat working surface, such as a table or kitchen floor, and spread newspaper over the entire area before you begin. Build-up the face by cutting-out geometric shapes (squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles) and attaching them to the paper mache base using masking tape or hot glue. Once you are finished modeling Darth Vader's features with cardboard, add another layer of paper mache and let dry.  Don't forget to create a visor that sticks-out over the eyes and juts out from the side of the face. Darth Vader breathes through a triangle-shaped respirator that projects out from his face and covers his nose and mouth. Carefully remove the bottom and back of the mask and use a pin to pop the balloon. Add additional paper mache to smooth out any rough edges or fill any gaps. Let dry before cutting-out two wide pie-shaped holes for the eyes, and a triangular hole in the respirator...

Paper products contribute to global warming in the sense that their production requires fossil fuels, even though trees must be continuously planted to sustain the paper industry. You can reduce your paper use by making a few simple changes, such as:  Not printing emails you don’t have to. Using the library or reading e-books instead of buying printed books. Getting e-bills and asking that stores don’t print off receipts for you. Asking your parents to buy recycled paper products, like facial tissues, bathroom tissues, and writing and printing paper. Scanning books instead of photocopying them. Sending e-cards instead of paper cards. Most municipalities provide perfectly safe drinking water, so there’s usually no need to buy bottled water in America. But consumers love this convenient and portable product, even though it takes three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water,  and millions of barrels of oil are needed to manufacture the bottles, caps, and packaging required to meet the demands of American consumers alone. If your parents buy bottled water, ask them to stop. Even if they don’t, you can opt to use a reusable glass or metal canteen that you refill with tap or filtered water. The majority of packaging used in North America has more to do with advertising and gimmicks than it does product preservation or consumer safety. Because most of that packaging is plastic, fossil fuels have been used to create it, and lots of it cannot be recycled. By refusing to buy products that have excessive packaging, you will reduce your carbon footprint and tell businesses that their methods are not acceptable.
