When buying an item on eBay, make sure that you have thoroughly researched the item before placing a bid. Look up the market value and search for similar items on auction and watch what prices they're selling for. This way, you will get a good idea of the going rate for a particular item, so you will recognize a genuinely good bargain when you see one. Take the time to do your research and make informed decisions before buying.  Just imagine how angry you'd be if you rushed into purchasing a watch for $50 (thinking this was an excellent deal) only to see the same watch sell for $30 a week later. Whatever you do, don't rush into a purchase just because you think it might be your only opportunity to buy - with the exception of very rare collectibles, most sale items will pop up again and again on eBay. Once of the most important things you need to consider before making a transaction on eBay is the feedback rating of the seller. The efficiency, openness and trustworthiness of the seller can make a huge impact on whether your buying experience on eBay is positive or negative. Each seller has a feedback score, which they receive based on the reviews of eBay customers who have previously bought items from them. This information is available on the description page of the item to be sold, in the top right hand corner.  Whether the seller's feedback rating is good or poor should inform your decision to buy the item. If the rating is poor, you buy the item at your own risk. Though uncommon, it's possible that the seller may ship you a broken or faulty item, or fail to send the item at all. You can also read reviews of each seller on their feedback page, written by previous buyers. This will also help to give you an idea of what you can expect when buying an item from them. To save time and hassle, it is important that you read the description of each item very, very carefully, to make sure it is exactly what you're looking for. Some pictures or titles may be deceiving (whether intentionally or otherwise) and you...

When buying artist-grade acrylic, oil, or watercolor paint, look at the colors carefully. You may notice that some of the blues have more of a greenish tint, while others have more of a purple tint. You may also notice that some of the yellows have more of a green tint, while others have more of an orange tint. Choosing the wrong shade of blue or yellow will result in a murky, muddy yellow.

When cats live together they will naturally form some sort of a hierarchy. One cat may be dominant over another. The owner’s may not see this behavior and not understand why cats may have litterbox issues or other behavior issue at first. If watched closely, however, the dominant cat will display signs such as approaching the submissive cat with a stiff gait, erect ears, and elevating the base of the tail. The submissive cat, on the other hand, will look away, lower the ears, and frequently avoid the path of the dominant cat. Having a hierarchy is natural between cats. Just make sure that all of your cats are happy and healthy, no matter where they lay in the pecking order. Introducing a new kitten or adult cat to your current cat(s) can take some time. The resident cat or cats will probably see the newcomer as a threat, with much hissing, growling, and attempts at “running off” the intruder. This is normal behavior, but after carefully introductions and repeated exposures they should accept each other and may become good companions. Although cats are said to be solitary animals, they do form bonds with each other. When two cats become close and one is lost or dies, the remaining cat may be depressed for months. A depressed cat may meow constantly or stop eating. Lots of loving and comfort is needed in this case.

When caught early, Toxic Shock Syndrome is usually highly treatable.  However, undetected TSS can progress rapidly and result in lengthy hospital stays and (in rare cases) irreversible organ failures, amputations, and even death.  Play it safe.  If you have symptoms of TSS, or if you have possible symptoms plus risk factors for TSS (like ongoing nosebleeds or extended female contraceptive use), get medical assistance right away. Unless otherwise instructed when you contact medical assistance, immediately remove the tampon you are using (if relevant in your situation). Although TSS can almost always be treated successfully when detected early, hospital stays of several days (sometimes in the ICU) are not uncommon.  In most instances, the frontline treatment involves the use of one or more antibiotics. Symptom-based treatments will also occur based on the particulars of your case.  These can include the provision of oxygen, IV fluids, pain or other medications, and sometimes kidney dialysis. Unfortunately, once you have had TSS, you are approximately thirty percent more likely to get it again in the future.  Therefore, you need to make some lifestyle changes and keep a keen eye out for symptoms if you want to avoid a severe recurrence. For example, if you have ever had TSS, you should not use tampons (rely on pads instead).  You should also find alternate means of female contraception other than devices like sponges or diaphragms.

When ceasing alcohol or tobacco, the body may experience withdrawal without continued use. Withdrawal symptoms from tobacco and alcohol can include: anxiety, depression, fatigue, headache, nausea, shaking, stomach cramps, and elevated heart rate. While tobacco withdrawal can be unpleasant on both body and emotions, alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms varies by how much you drink, for how long, and your condition of health. Some symptoms can start within hours after drinking, peak within days, and improve within the week.  Alcohol withdrawal can lead to symptoms which causes severe mental and neurological problems. This may include body tremors, agitation, restlessness, fear, hallucinations and seizures. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. If you are a long-term and heavy drinker, consider a medically supervised detox. While no prescription medication exists to concurrently treat alcohol and nicotine together, interventions exist to treat alcohol dependence and nicotine addiction.  Prescription medication can be used to treat alcohol dependence, including use of naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. These medications can help with withdrawal symptoms and relapse.  Choose a method for nicotine withdrawal. While some people quit "cold turkey", others choose to taper off nicotine exposure in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Many options are available for nicotine replacement such as gum, a patch, nasal sprays and prescription medications (such as bupropion) while your body adjusts to lower levels of nicotine.

When celebrities get breakouts before a big event, they head straight to their dermatologists for this fast treatment. A needle is used to inject cortisone directly into the offending pimple(s), and it can substantially reduce or even eliminate blemishes within a day.  That said, you probably don’t have your dermatologist on speed-dial and likely don’t want to pay big bucks for last-minute appointments and regular injections.  If cortisone isn’t in the cards for you, move on to an at-home plan of attack on your acne. In order to clear up acne, you need to start by giving your face a nice wash.  Acne consists of bacteria that have invaded your pores, and the first step is to fight back with a gentle but effective acne wash.  Some people use a washcloth, but your hands are just as effective. Mix the directed amount of acne wash with warm water, and gently rub it into your face in a circular motion. Rinse your face with warm water, then pat it dry gently. Some experts say never to pop a pimple, while others think it’s okay to properly “extract” whitehead pimples when necessary. If you try to pop a pimple without a whitehead, you’ll almost certainly make it more noticeable.  You can pop the whitehead with your fingers, a towel, or a pin, but make sure the tool, your hands, and your pimple have been sterilized with rubbing alcohol first. You can also shop online for a dedicated pimple “extraction tool” that pierces and lifts away whiteheads, but these may or may not work any better than a regular pin. If you do use one, follow the instructions and make sure to sterilize it. Benzoyl peroxide is used to kill the bacteria that contribute to acne. It also helps peel away layers of dead skin, leaving brighter, more rejuvenated skin in its place.  You can find OTC benzoyl peroxide in different concentrations at any pharmacy, but a 2.5% concentration may be just as effective as 5% or 10% solutions, and less irritating to your skin. Typically, you’ll apply a small amount of the product, leave it on for several hours,...

When choosing a blush color, it's important to pick one that matches your natural skin tone.  This means that the color you pick should be as close as possible to the color your cheeks turn when you're naturally flushed. Picking a color that doesn't match your skin tone can cause your blush to look unnatural and even garish. A good tip for identifying your natural coloring is to make a tight fist with your hand for about ten seconds. The color that develops across your knuckles is the ideal color for your blush! In general, pale skin tones will work best with light pink which mimics their natural flush. For a more dramatic look, peaches and mochas can work well. Sallower skin tones will do best with orange or reddish-pink blushes which brighten the skin, adding a healthy glow. Dark skin tones can get away with vivid oranges, pinks and reds which add a pop of life and color. There are many different blush formulas on the market, including powder, cream, gel and liquid. The best option for you will depend on your skin type and personal preference.  Powder blush is good for oily to normal skin. It is also good for warmer temperatures, as it will not slide off the face. Cream blush is good for drier skin as it is more hydrating. It also good for older skin, as it will not catch in fine lines and wrinkles like a powder. Liquids and gels are great if you want to achieve a very exact and long-lasting application. Often these products can double up as a matching lip stain! You don't have to use a brush/sponge if you want you can use your fingers(but a brush would make it neater).Applying your blush will depend on the type of blush you're using:  Powder blushes are best applied with an angled blush brush or with a wide-headed loose powder brush. Cream blushes are best applied with your fingers or with a medium-sized flat-topped brush. Liquids and gels are best applied with your fingers or with a synthetic make-up wedge.

When choosing a tiara, you should also take into account the dress that you will be wearing with it. The tiara is meant to complement, and not overpower your look. For instance, if the dress that you will be wearing is adorned with crystal beading, then it would be ideal to choose a crystal tiara. If the dress is beaded with pearls, then a pearl tiara would be the best style to match the dress as well.  If the tiara is not for a fancy, formal outfit (such as a prom, wedding, or other big event), choose a tiara that will be the focal point of the outfit. Make sure that your tiara matches your jewelry, and does not clash. For example, if your jewelry is silver with diamonds, pick a tiara that is also silver with diamonds. Different tiaras work better with different hairstyles. If you already have a hairstyle in mind to go with your outfit, then choose a tiara accordingly. For example, a smaller tiara will suit an up-do better than a wider, longer tiara. While there are no set rules as to which type of tiara you should choose, there are certain styles that complement certain face shapes better than others. In general, try to choose a tiara with a shape that is opposite your face shape.  If you have a heart-shaped face, choose a tiara with a V-shaped peak. This will create the illusion of a longer face. If you have a long face, go for something with little or no height that extends evenly across the top of your head. Avoid tall or pointy tiaras. If you have an oval face, you can get away with most shapes. You might want to avoid styles with peaks at the center, however, as this can make your face appear longer. If you have a round face, go for tiaras that have a bit of height or a peak. These can make your face appear longer. Avoid rounded tiaras. Your head is actually an oval, so an oval-shaped band will fit your head better. A round band will leave gaps. It will also pinch your skull painfully. When you place the tiara down on a flat surface, the front should lean forward slightly. This will help the tiara...

When choosing a toothpaste for acne treatment, go for an all-white version, not a toothpaste with red, blue or green stripes. This is because the ingredients which help to dry out pimples - such as baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and triclosan - are contained in the white part of the toothpaste, while the colored sections may contain ingredients which will irritate the skin. Whitening toothpastes contain bleaching agents (for making teeth whiter) which may actually bleach or burn the skin, causing patchiness. This is particularly true for people with darker skin tones - as the extra melanin in the skin makes it more reactive, and therefore more prone to marks and blemishes. People with fair skin may be less affected by such ingredients, however it is better to avoid whitening toothpaste regardless. Gel-type toothpastes have a different formulation than actual "paste" toothpastes, and so may be lacking the active ingredients necessary to effectively dry out pimples. Avoid using, as it will not do your skin any good. Fluoride is added to over 95% of toothpastes in the U.S. as it helps to remove dental plaque and prevent gum disease. However, many people actually suffer from a mild topical allergy to fluoride, and it may cause dermatitis (a skin rash) if it comes in contact with the skin. For this reason, it is best to find a toothpaste with as low a fluoride content as possible (or fluoride-free, if you can find it) to minimize the risk of skin irritation. Organic toothpastes are probably your best option when it comes to treating pimples. They contain no fluoride (unless it's naturally derived) and no nasty growth hormones, pesticides or other chemicals. On the other hand, they still contain the ingredients necessary for drying out pimples - such as baking soda and tea tree oil - with the addition of natural soothing and anti-bacterial substances like aloe, myrrh and eucalyptus oil.

When clapping the beat, clap hard on a strong beat (the start of a bar), and more softly on a weak beat. If you clapped "strong-weak-weak", it is in triple time. "Strong-weak" implies dual time, and "strong-weak-weak-weak" quadruple. If there were usually three shorter notes in each beat (or a multiple of three), it is compound time.  If there were usually two or a multiple of two, it is simple time. These include  2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 and 3/8.  The lower number signifies what each beat is (2 means a minim; 4 a crotchet; 8 a quaver and so on).  The higher number is how many are in a bar (eg: 3/8 is three quavers). These include 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 and 12/16. Complex time signatures are mixtures of simple and compound time, such as 5/8 and 7/8.  There are usually different ways to split up the beat.  Complex time can also be fitted into more usual time signatures such as 4/4, for example by the main beats being two dotted crotchets, then a crotchet. For example, in simple 3/8 there are three beats of three quavers in a bar.  In compound 3/8 there is one beat in a bar, which can be subdivided into three quavers. You might be asked a series of questions after the administrator plays a piece. Study the syllabus for your examination for details.  Some questions might be, "was the piece played piano fortissimo at the beginning?", "was the middle section staccato or legato?", "was there a ritardando at the end?", "was there a decrescendo at the end?".  Make sure you learn all the terminology for this.

When cleaning a pocket knife, you should always wear rubber gloves. They protect your hands from getting cut by the blade. You'll also be using certain oils or cleaners that can cause skin irritation. You can buy rubber gloves at most supermarkets. You'll need certain supplies to clean a pocket knife. Get the materials ready before you begin the cleaning process.  For the initial washing, use mild dish detergent. The soap you use for day-to-day dish washing is probably fine. Just do not use dish soap intended to be used in a dishwasher as it's too harsh for knives and can cause rust and other damage.  You'll need some kind of household lubricant to remove rust. WD-40 tends to work well on pocket knives. You'll also need household oil to lubricate the knife after washing. You should be able to find household lubricant and oil at a hardware store.  You will need a soft sponge or a toothbrush for the initial washing. To deal with rust, a nylon pad is necessary. You'll also need a soft, clean cloth to dry the knife when you finish cleaning.

When cleaning an acrylic bathtub, stay away from harsh astringent powders such as Comet and Ajax, as well as harsh chemicals like bleach. Acrylic is a soft material and is therefore easily damaged. These types of products are almost guaranteed to ruin your tub's finish. It's generally a good idea to start with the gentlest cleaning solution available to you and work your way up to more powerful options if that doesn't work. Distilled white vinegar makes an excellent natural cleaning solution, especially on smooth surfaces like acrylic that release stains easily. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and keep it on hand for routine bathroom cleaning tasks. Apply the vinegar liberally to completely cover the affected area. Lemon juice makes a fine alternative to vinegar if you happen to have some in the refrigerator. As it sits, the acidity in the vinegar will break down mold, grime and discoloration so that they can wiped away with ease. You may even see stains begin to dissolve and run off on their own, before you even begin scrubbing.  Make sure you give the vinegar ample time to begin working. For especially troublesome spots, sprinkle a little baking soda onto the vinegar as it soaks. The yellow side of a normal dish sponge will do the trick. After being soaked with vinegar, dirt and grime should simply lift off with little difficulty. Use a quick back and forth scrubbing motion, and continue treating the stains until they vanish. You can also use specialty scrubbing tools, like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which are made from porous melamine foam for added stain-fighting power. Run the faucet for a few minutes to wash away every last trace of dissolved grime and dirty vinegar solution. If you’re cleaning a bathtub with an adjustable shower head, turn it on and direct the stream over the areas you just treated. Once it’s clean, the tub will need to dry so that stain-causing bacteria doesn’t return.  Most bathtub stains are the result of germs that create a filmy residue as they accumulate.

When cleaning your teak furniture, you should always start at the bottom and keep cleaning as you move up to the top of the furniture. This will help you avoid any streaks or irregularities caused by the cleaning solution or the cleaning process. Starting at the top may be tempting, as it is the most visible part of your teak furniture. But beginning here could damage your furniture, or make it become more unsightly. The best way to keep your teak furniture clean and looking great is to give it a quick wipe down with soap and water once every few weeks. This kind of maintenance will prevent discoloration and the buildup of grime and mildew. Simply apply some mild liquid soap to a sponge and wipe down the surface. You can also add a bit of bleach or vinegar to the soap to get it extra clean. Be sure to rinse the soap off thoroughly to avoid leaving any soap residue, as this could cause more buildup of grime over time. If you are cleaning your teak furniture outside, use a garden hose to rinse off the soap.  If you are cleaning the teak furniture indoors, use a damp cloth to remove the soap residue. Be sure to frequently rinse the cloth out so that you don’t keep reapplying the soapy water. Let the teak furniture air dry when you finish rinsing it off. The oil in the teak wood often leaks out, especially in the first few months after application, and can stain fabrics that it comes in contact with. If you have cushions on your teak furniture, you should consider storing them separately from the teak furniture itself. This will help your teak furniture look nicer for a longer period of time. This is especially important when it’s raining, and right after you’ve oiled the teak wood. Pressure washing can be a great way to clean lots of surfaces, but your teak furniture shouldn’t be one of them. It may seem like a simple solution, but it can wear down the surface of the teak wood over time and cause more damage. If cracks develop in the wood, shooting water into the cracks at high velocities will cause the wood to...

When cleaning your wood doors with water or other liquid cleaners, make sure you let the wood dry thoroughly. If the wood isn’t sealed properly, the moisture could cause the wood to warp or stain over time. Wipe any excess moisture off with a clean towel. You can also point a box fan at the wood door to help it dry more quickly. It’s important for your wood to have a protective seal on it to keep it safe from the elements and to help keep it clean after extended use. Wipe down the door thoroughly before you apply any finishing stain or paint. Choose a stain that is made specifically for indoor wood (unless this in an exterior wood door) and choose a color that suits your décor. You may need to sand down the door or scrape (and then sand) away any existing varnish that is chipping or flaking. Apply the stain or varnish and let it dry completely before you begin using it like normal again. If there is a glass window on your door, make sure you tape it off with painter’s tape before you begin staining. Otherwise, you might get the glass dirty or accidentally paint it. As you clean your door, be sure to periodically clean the fixtures as well. This means that you should take some time to thoroughly clean all door knobs. Use a regular all-purpose cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water to wipe down and sanitize both sides of the door knobs. The fixtures come into contact with the most bacteria, so it’s important to address this when cleaning your wood doors.

When communicating with a girl online for the first time, put yourself out there so she knows that you are interested in her.  Start out by saying, "Hello!" or "Hi there!" Introduce yourself briefly; your name is likely all you need to share at this point. Ask her a question about something you saw on her profile that caught your eye. Online flirting and dating can feel uncomfortable and dangerous to many women, especially when they do not actually know the man with whom they are talking.  Respond to her in a timely fashion once she gets back to you. Responding too quickly might indicate that you are too eager, while taking too long might indicate that you have lost interest. It is best to respond within a few hours, whenever possible.  Focus on learning about who she is and what her personality is like. Asking her about her physical appearance or to send you photographs of herself will give the wrong impression of why you are chatting with her. Avoid immediately asking her out on a date or to meet in person. This also might give her the wrong impression and cause her to stop chatting with you. It is best to get to know each other for at least a few days before doing this. The point right now is to get to know her enough to determine whether you would like to take her on a date.  Keep the conversation balanced in terms of how much you talk about yourself. Answer her questions about you, and turn the conversation back around to her when you can. Be polite and funny, if appropriate. Do not be afraid to make jokes that you find funny, because chances are, she might also find them funny. "What do you do for a living?" "If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?" "What is your favorite season and why?" "Do you have brothers and/or sisters? How many?"

When connecting a printer to the network, you will need to connect it to the router, either via Ethernet or wirelessly. If you are using an older printer, you can use a print server to allow the printer to connect to the network.  Ethernet - Many printers can be connected via Ethernet to the router. This may only be practical if the printer and router can be in the same general location. Wireless - Most new printers have built-in wireless, which allows them to connect to your wireless home network. Check the documentation for your printer to see the specific instructions for connecting to the wireless network. Some printers require you to install the software before adding the printer. Other printers will be automatically detected and installed by Windows. If the printer is connected, but is still not showing up, you can try manually adding it. This may be required for older printers that aren't automatically detected by Windows.  Open the Control Panel. You can access the Control Panel by pressing ⊞ Win+X and selecting Control Panel. Select "Devices and Printers". If you are in Category view, click the "View devices and printers" link. The window will display all of your connected devices. Click Add a printer. This is located at the top of the window. Select your printer from the list. The list of available printers may take a few moments to load.

When considering a particular topic, if you have had any sort of experience with it—good or bad—there’s no doubt that those experiences help shape your current beliefs on the matter. However, it’s important to recognize that not all experiences accurately reflect the entire picture or the whole truth.  Part of forming an opinion comes from separating your feelings and emotions from the facts. For instance, if you were bit by a German Shepherd as a small child, you could hold the opinion that all German Shepherds are dangerous; or your opinion may be as extreme as believing that all dogs are dangerous. When seeking and forming your own opinion, like whether or not German Shepherds (or dogs in general) are good animals, you need to be able to set aside your personal experiences and look at the bigger picture. Having a conversation with those who are close to you may help you gain some perspective. People tend to trust those they are closest to, so you may be more likely to consider a differing perspective from your best friend rather than someone you don’t know.  For instance, if you are trying to form an opinion on healthcare laws, ask your friends and family what their experience with the healthcare system has been. Based on their experiences, you may be able to see areas where the law works and you support it; or areas where it doesn’t work and has room for improvement. Often times, though, your friend’s perspectives may align with your already-established beliefs, as we tend to surround ourselves with like-minded people. So try not to rely too heavily on the opinions of your like-minded friends and family. Doing so can limit your exposure to other valuable ideas and perspectives. If anything, these discussions may give you another way of looking at a situation and/or more reasons to support your opinion. This is particularly useful for topics that you have very little or no experience in. For instance, if you have a preconceived notion that people in a particular culture, or even town, behave a certain way,...

When creating Jello-O based Slime, you will need the following ingredients:  1 Five Gallon Bucket 6 large packages Jell-O 9 Pounds Flour 8 Ounces Johnson's Baby Shampoo 1 1/2 Gallons Water Green Food Coloring This recipe makes 3 gallons of gooey green slime. To make the mixing process less messy, combine the ingredients in a 5-gallon bucket.  Open the 6 large Jell-O packages and empty the contents into the bucket. Pour in 4 ½ pounds flour. Add 1 gallon of water. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all lumps are removed. Achieving the ideal slime consistency is tricky. Go slow and check the texture constantly.  Add the remaining 4 ½ pounds flour to the mixture and stir. Gradually add the remaining ½ gallon of water while continuing to stir. Periodically lift the whisk out of the bucket. Observe how the slime drips from the utensil. If the mixture appears liquid and runny, continue to stir. If the mixture holds together as it slowly runs down the spoon and into the bowl, it is ready. Pour 8 ounces of Johnson's Baby Shampoo into the 5-gallon bucket. Add several drops of green food coloring to the mixture. Stir until the slime turns green. Add more green food coloring if needed.

On the first screen of the wizard, you will be asked to give the new virtual machine a name as well as choose what operating system you will be installing. Choose the type of operating system from the "Type" menu, and then choose which version you are installing from the "Version" menu.  For example, if you are installing Windows 7, choose "Microsoft Windows" from the Type menu, and then "Windows 7" from the Version menu. If you are installing the 64-bit version of the operating system, make sure to choose the 64-bit version from the Version menu. It's at the bottom of the window. You will need to designate how much of your computer's RAM will be allocated to your virtual machine. VirtualBox will automatically choose the recommended minimum amount for the operating system you selected, but you can increase or decrease this if you'd like.  You can only go as high as the amount of RAM physically installed in your system. It is not recommended that you set it to the max amount, as there won't be any left for your regular operating system to use when the virtual machine is running.  Select a virtual hard drive option and click Create, then click through the prompts and click Create again. Your virtual machine will need a virtual hard drive in order to install the operating system and any programs.  Make sure that the virtual hard drive has at least enough space to install the operating system. Check the specifications for your operating system to see how much space you should allocate at minimum. Remember that any programs you install will also take up space on your virtual hard drive, so plan accordingly....

When creating new words to describe fictional settings, take your theme and tone into account. Your newly created words should sound natural to the world that they inhabit. Foreign words can help to foster atmosphere, depending on the language:  Germanic languages are rough sounding, and have a guttural feel to them. Using Germanic-based words for tough characters can make them sound hardy. Using Germanic language for evil characters will give them a bestial quality. Romance languages are light and airy, and can give your characters a seductive quality. Naming locations with a French- or Italian-based word will create a sense of exoticism. Use Latin-based words to add a scientific feel. Latin evokes wisdom, and so Latin-based words can also imply intelligence. Latin is also an ancient language, and can be used to add mysticism. Asian languages make good base words for exotic sounding locations and objects. Use other languages as a basis for the sound and feel of the word you are creating. Avoid copying a word directly and instead use it as a guide. A successful word is one that the reader won't trip over too hard. Try to relate the word to some recognizable concepts. For example, using the made-up word “bogmouth” to refer to a mouth condition gives the reader a general sense of what the character with bogmouth is experiencing. This is because the word “bog” is familiar, and evokes a similar feeling in most readers. Writing out an official definition for your word will help you to use it properly. Format your definition as it would appear in a dictionary, and list out any other forms the word can take. This can be especially useful if you are writing a piece with multiple made up words, both as a reference for you and for your reader. If you want your new word to stick in the readers' minds and become second-nature to them, it needs to appear multiple times in your writing. Studies show that readers will understand a new word after reading it ten times with context. This means that your word needs to be...

When creating your affirmation, it is important empty your mind and focus only on facets of your life where you want to make a change. Take time to feel in your body the deep connection that you have to your intention to change. Include in your list any criticisms others have made of you that seem to stick to in your mind. Look for the main message that you are receiving when you focus on these negative qualities and critiques. It may be something very broad, for example, "I am unworthy." or "I am not capable." These are the irrational leaps that our emotional selves are prone to make when we disappoint ourselves or others. Where do you notice sensations in your body as you engage this belief? For example, do you feel tightness or dread in your heart or stomach?  Awareness of these sensations are helpful for when it comes time to use your affirmation. You can focus on the part of your body that holds this negative belief most strongly, in order to release it. Remember: we have as many neurons in our gut as we do in our brain!  If you do not feel any sensations in your body as you consider this negative judgment, you may want to keep searching for judgments that have greater impact on you. Your sensations can serve as a guide for knowing what's important to you deep down, including what inhibits you. If not, what would be an empowering replacement? Now that you understand what you are learning to believe about yourself in the face of your flaws, you can summon the strength to form new beliefs about your potential.

When cutting from any plant, you should try to use a clean, sharp blade. Sharp blades give a cleaner cut that can help to keep your pansy from becoming infected with a plant disease. If you have hard-stemmed pansies, try to use a sturdy gardening tool, such as a pair of gardening shears. For weak-stemmed pansies, you can use a pair of sharp scissors to make cuts, as the stems of these types of pansies are easier to cut without damaging the plant.    To cut pansy flowers, make the cut when the flower head is just opening up. Try to cut your flowers early in the morning when possible, as this is when the flowers will be the freshest. To cut the flower: Use a sharp blade, as described in the previous step, to cut the stem to about a quarter of an inch above the next leaf set, below the leaf set that you are removing with the stem. A leaf set is a pair of leaves growing along a stem. Many people like to keep at least one leaf set on the stem of their cut flower.    Pick out a short vase to accommodate the pansies’ short stems. Fill the vase with clean, cold water. Make sure that the vase is about two-thirds full of the water. Place the cut pansy flowers into the vase. Change the water in the vase every other day to make your cut pansies last as long as possible.    Because of the pansies short stems, people do not often think of them as vase flowers, even though they do just fine in a vase. While keeping pansies alive in a vase is covered in the previous step, you can also make beautiful centerpieces with the cut flowers. To do this:  Fill a bowl with cold water. Cut the pansy stems off so that you only have the flower heads (or blooms) left. Float the flower heads in the water.     While flower heads tend to wilt faster than regular cut flowers, they will make a very pretty centerpiece for a couple of days.

When dealing with a crush who makes you jealous, you might wonder if his efforts at jealousy are intentional or accidental--and if you don't ask yourself this question, you probably should. Your crush might flirt with other girls in front of you to get your attention, but it's also possible that he's just a natural flirt who does it without thinking.  This issue typically occurs when the guy in question flirts with you and several other girls. It can be hard to know if he genuinely likes you, or if he's flirting indiscriminately. To figure out if he might like you more than the other girls he flirts with, ask yourself if there's a difference between his flirtation with you and his flirtation with others. For instance, when you see him in the hallway, pay attention to where his eyes are. If he immediately locks eyes with you, that's probably a good sign. On the other hand, if he's looking at another girl and barely acknowledges you (or doesn't acknowledge you at all), that's probably a bad sign.  Try not to assume that a guy who talks endlessly about his girlfriend in front of you is doing so to make you jealous. It's possible that he's genuinely head-over-heels for her and just trying to let you know. Even if he's honestly using his girlfriend to make you jealous and spur romantic feelings in you, the disloyalty and disrespect this behavior demonstrates should be a warning sign telling you to stay away from a potentially toxic mate. If you think your crush really is trying to make you jealous, the best thing you can do is tell him how you feel. There's a decent chance that his actions are caused by insecurity about how you feel. Letting him know that your feelings of attraction are mutual may resolve the problem.  This step is easier said than done, of course, and you do face the risk of rejection by following through and telling your crush you want to date him. Even so, clearing the air is the only way to fix the issue before it gets worse. Wait until the next time you two find yourselves flirting in a...

When dealing with a pregnant dog, it's even more important than usual to make sure she stays calm. Her extra weight might make her harder to hold down if she starts to struggle. Pet her in long strokes and speak to her in a soft voice. Do everything you can to relax her.  If you think she might try to escape, get another person to help you. More hands means more petting! If your dog is afraid of baths, don’t force her. Just brush through her coat instead, trying to get as much dirt off the fur as you can. It will be easier on you both. Allow wet mud to dry into dirt before brushing her. Even if you’re feeling worried about bathing her because she's pregnant, don't let her pick up on your anxiety. Act like it's a completely normal bath, and don't change the routine at all. For example, if you usually lift your dog into the bathtub, give her the bath in her normal place. Don't decide to spray her with a hose outside instead because you're afraid of lifting her. Keep treats on hand to reward her for calm behavior or coax her into the tub. You'll also need shampoo for the bath and several towels to dry her off before letting her loose in your home. You can put one of the towels on the edge of the tub to stop some of the water from splashing onto the floor at your feet.  Use a nice, mild oatmeal shampoo for dogs that won't irritate her skin. You're going to get wet, too, so dress down in clothes you don't mind getting dirty. You know from experience that bathtubs can get slippery when you add water and soap to the mix. A non-slip mat will help your dog keep her footing while she's getting her bath. You can find non-slip mats in any department store or online.

When dealing with an irritable elderly person, your first step is to try to figure out what the problem is. Is it evident what is bothering them? For example, do they seem to be struggling to get groceries inside the house during nasty weather? If so, that's probably why they're cranky. If you can't tell at a glance what the problem is, try to dig a little deeper. If your neighbor or relative seems cranky for no discernible reason, try to use communication to figure out what might be the problem. Keep in mind that elderly people are often dealing with an extra set of attributes that can affect their mood. For instance, as people age, their bodies are changing. It is entirely possible that the elderly person in question is dealing with physical pain that you don't know about. That could certainly affect their mood. Many older citizens are on several different types of medication. Often, different prescriptions can have negative affects on a person's mood. Be aware that your elderly friend might be crabby because of medication, not because of an immediate issue. When trying to figure out why a person is irritable, the most straight-forward and effective way is to ask questions. You don't have to pry, but you can try asking a series of open-ended questions. By opening up a conversation, you might be able to ascertain the cause of irritability.  For example, instead of just saying "How are you?", use a more open-ended version such as, "How's your day going? What's on your agenda for the day?". Using open-ended questions will not only provide you with more information, but will allow your relative to vent some frustrations. Make sure to speak clearly. Some older people suffer from hearing loss. They might not necessarily be cranky--maybe they just didn't hear you when you said hello. When you initiate a conversation with an elderly person, make sure that you are being an active listener. Focus all of your attention of the conversation. Make the older person feel like you really value what they are saying. There...

When dealing with heartbreak, distraction can help. Look into taking up a new hobby in the aftermath of rejection. Strive to keep busy throughout the day. If you don't keep busy, you're likely to start ruminating and having negative thoughts about yourself and the guy.  Take up hobbies you enjoy. If you're interested in knitting, start a new knitting project. If you're an outdoorsy type, take up hiking. Try to keep busy with a hobby during most of the day when you have downtime. When you're likely to start engaging with troublesome thoughts, find something to do. If you're lying awake at night pondering what went wrong and why, read a book instead or listen to a podcast on your phone. Meeting new people and exploring new activities can also keep your mind occupied. Consider joining a class in and getting involved in your community. Stop by a local community center and see what they offer. Something like, say, a cooking class can help you expand your social circle and make new friends. A new social circle can keep your mind off the guy who rejected you. Eventually, your feelings for him will taper off. You cannot entirely eliminate or control your feelings. However, changing the way you think about your internal feelings can help you gain some distance from them. Try thinking of your feelings as a third party rather than a part of yourself. This can help you gain some distance.  Think about your feeling as an intrusive third party who continually interrupts your thoughts and emotions. If you're having an otherwise good day, and suddenly unwanted thoughts arise, think to yourself, "Here comes that force again to bother me." This can feel awkward at first, but with some practice you'll be able to do it somewhat unconsciously. This can provide you with appropriate distance from your emotions, allowing you to move forward. Heartbreak can be a major inspiration for artistic pursuits. If you're already an artistic person by nature, put your heartbreak into your work. If you've never been particularly artistically...

When deciding on a type of stone, you have to make a decision about stone type. One major factor in the decision-making process is whether your project is for commercial or domestic use.  Commercial use implies there will be a lot of traffic on your stone. For example, stone used on a walkway or on the floor of a shopping mall would be commercial use. You should go for a heavier, sturdier type of stone. Limestone, a common stone used for DIY projects, should be avoided. Domestic use is stone that would be used privately in your home. A stone counter would be domestic use, for example. You can use softer, cheaper stone for a domestic  project. Stone types like granite or other natural stones would work well. You may not always find your first choice in stone. Depending on your area, certain types of stone may have to be shipped to providers. This can get costly. Write down a variety of stone types you would be okay with and then check with a local provider to see what's readily available. Stone can get expensive, so be willing to work within a budget. Many types of stone may require special finishing procedures. If your stone-type is particularly slippery, for example, sanding, finishing, and flaming may be necessary. These types of projects are cost and time intensive and offer require professional assistance. Look into a type of stone that does not need a lot of special finishing.

When deep frying foods at home, you’ll get the best results using an electric deep fryer, stockpot, deep saucepan, wok, or Dutch oven. However, any type of cookware will work as long as it’s big enough to hold several cups of oil (along with your food) and resilient enough to withstand extremely high temperatures.  A standalone deep fryer, of course, will offer the greatest convenience and ease of use for most fry jobs. In terms of standard cookware, the high, angled walls of stockpots and woks are especially useful for catching oil splashes. The term “smoke point” refers to the temperature at which a certain type of oil burns. The best oils to use for frying are therefore ones with high smoke points. Canola, vegetable, peanut, and corn are among the most commonly used varieties.  If you prefer, you can also use a blend of several different oils to achieve just the right flavor. For a slightly healthier alternative, try substituting some of your main frying oil with coconut, avocado, or palm oil, or even ghee (clarified butter) or rendered animal fat.  Extra-virgin olive, sesame, and other unrefined oils, along with butter and shortening, all have low smoke points, and should never be used for deep frying. The thermometer will allow you to check the temperature of your food throughout the frying process. This will ensure that it comes out with the perfect savory flavor and crisp, golden-brown texture. You’ll use the tongs or spoon to stir your food as it cooks and remove it from the fryer once it’s done.  If you don’t have a thermometer, a wooden spoon can also double as a temperature-checking device. Dip the tip into the oil. If bubbles appear around it, it means your oil is hot enough. Never use a plastic spoon for deep frying. The hot oil will cause it to melt in a hurry! Racks made specifically for cooling fried foods will work best, but you could also use one or two removable racks from a toaster oven. If neither of those are an option, line a large serving dish with a thick layer of folded paper towels....

When designing a home’s interior, the goal is to make the rooms feel like they fit together. To do this, the paint colors need to flow together. Walk around your home. Make a floor plan and take notes, remembering that even distant colors affect a room's atmosphere.  For instance, if you paint your room with deep reds and browns, a bright orange hallway will detract from it. You may want to paint the hallway a pale yellow so it isn’t a distraction. A simple way to create flowing paint colors is to settle on a theme color. For example, painting trim, bannisters, and furniture white creates consistency even if you paint adjacent rooms different colors. This room is often the easiest to plan out. Most likely you already have an idea of how you want to paint the room. Once you settle on a color scheme, you can then begin working on adjoining rooms, coming up with colors that complement it.  For instance, you might start with the living room. Think about painting it a bright color to make it big and vibrant. Then, paint adjoining rooms with more subdued colors. If you know you want to paint a room with bold colors, you can start there even if the room is small. Come up with contrasting colors for nearby rooms. There are many ways to plan out an interior, but alternating colors keeps a home interesting. Painting every room the same color feels monotonous. Try to give each room a different amount of visual weight. Mix in some darker colors, then switch back to more vibrant colors to keep your eye engaged.  For example, paint your living room a vibrant red. Paint the room next to it a light yellow. Add red and brown decorations to complete the effect. While you can juxtapose 2 dark colors, such as a dark red and brown, this can make your interior seem a little gloomy and claustrophobic. When you settle on a color for 1 room, choose a color 1 shade lighter or darker. Find a way to incorporate the shade into nearby rooms. This will give your interior some visual consistency while keeping it interesting. You can use...

When designing clothes, it’s important to think about how your garment will look on the body. This is why most designers draw their designs onto a human form. It can be intimidating and time-consuming to have to draw a figure from scratch every time you make a new design, so many designers use a croquis. This just means a template you can use each time you sketch out a new garment. You will need to start by drawing the outline of a person in pencil. This is an intimidating prospect, but it doesn’t need to be difficult.  If you’re not too daunted, freehand it. The idea here is not to be anatomically correct, and most designers’ croquis drawings are rendered in some kind of personal style. Your design will look even more unique on a figure you drew yourself. Don’t worry about small details; think of your drawing as a 2-dimensional mannequin. If you don’t feel up to the task of drawing a human figure from scratch, use someone else’s work. Trace an image from a book or a magazine, or download one of the hundreds of free croquis templates you can find online.  Many designers use something called the 9 heads method to make sure their drawings are evenly proportioned. The idea is to use a head as a unit of measure, and to draw a body that measures nine heads from the feet to the top of the neck. Draw a straight vertical line, and divide it into 10 equal parts. This will be your guide as you draw. Section 1 starts just under the head, and measures the body from the top of the neck to the middle of the chest; section 2 measures from the middle of the chest to the waist; section 3 from the waist to the bottom of the hips; section 4 from the bottom of the waist to mid-thigh, section 5 from mid-thigh to knee, section 6 from knee to upper calve, section 7 from upper calve to mid-calve, section 8 from mid-calve to ankle, and section 9 measures the foot. You are going to need to be able to trace this drawing onto another piece of paper laid on top of it. To make that possible, you’ll have to retrace the lines of your figure...

When designing your own jewelry, you will first want to get ideas. This will help you to think about which design aspects are most important to you and what will best fit your needs.  Look at your collection. Look at your own jewelry, purchased or made by others. You can recreate or take ideas from aspects of pieces you already own and like. Maybe you like a particular type of bead or clasp or color combination. You will also want to look at your own collection to assess if there is a type of jewelry that you might need. Look for holes in your collection, such as a lack of casual pieces for everyday use, and think about what you can make to fill that need. Look at stores. Go to stores that specialize in jewelry, like Claire’s, or larger stores with jewelry departments, like Macy’s, to get ideas about what you might want to make. The wide selection in stores like these will allow you to get more ideas, as well as helping you stay at the front of fashion trends. Look at others. You can look at the jewelry your friends have, what you see in magazines and the internet, and what your favorite celebrities are wearing. Think about what you like about their jewelry and what pieces you really wish you had for yourself. Look at vintage pieces. In looking at vintage pieces and the history of jewelry, you can see a large number of styles very easily. Examine what aspects of the vintage pieces you like to get ideas for design elements you would like to emulate. Once you have decided upon the design aspects you enjoy most and what your needs and desires are, you will want to decide which materials are best for you. Some material choices will be based on taste, some on availability, and some on necessity.  Metals. Metals will usually be used, in the form of wires, chains and rings, to bind together the other elements of the jewelry piece. The type of metal used will depend on what it is being used for, as well as personal taste. For example, soft metals are better for bending and should be used when you need to create...

When diluting solutions, you must know the concentration of the working stock and the final concentration that you want your solution to have. This method is useful for diluting highly concentrated solutions into less concentrated solutions. For example: Make 75 mLs of a 1.5 M stock of NaCl from a working stock of 5 M. The working stock is at a concentration of 5 M and you want to dilute to a final concentration of 1.5 M. You must also define the total volume of the solution you want to make. You will calculate the amount of working solution that needs to be added in order to dilute it to the final concentration and volume. For example: Make 75 mLs of a 1.5 M stock of NaCl from a working stock of 5 M. To determine the amount of working stock that needs to be diluted, you use the formula V1C1=V2C2; V1 is volume of the working stock and C1 is the concentration of the working stock; V2 is the desired final volume and C2 is the desired final concentration of the solution.  For example: Make 75 mLs of a 1.5 M stock of NaCl from a working stock of 5 M. To calculate the volume of the working stock needed, the equation gets rearranged to solve for V1: V1 = (V2C2)/C1  V1 = (V2C2)/C1 = (0.075 L * 1.5 M)/5M = 0.0225 L. Convert L back to mL by multiplying by 1000: 22.5 mL. When diluting the stock solution, you need to make sure that you dilute to your final volume. By subtracting the volume of the stock solution to be added you will make sure the dilution is done properly. For example: You want a final volume of 75 mLs and will be adding 22.5 mL of the stock solution. Therefore, 75 – 22.5 = 52.5 mLs. This volume is the amount of dilution solution you will use. Using a graduated cylinder (measuring equipment for volumes), measure out the volume of the stock solution and then mix it with the volume of the dilution solution.  For example: Measure 22.5 mLs of the stock 5 M solution of NaCl and dilute it with 52.5 mLs of water. Stir to mix. Label the container with both the concentration and the compound: 1.5 M NaCl....

When dividing on an abacus, you will put the divisor in the left-most column(s). Leave a couple blank columns to the right, then put the dividend in the columns next to those. The remaining columns to the right will be used to do the work leading to the answer. Leave those blank for now.  For example, to divide 34 by 2, count 2 in the left-most column, leave two blank columns, then put 34 over to the right. Leave the other columns blank for the answer section. To do this, push two lower beads from the bottom portion up in the left-most column. Leave the next two columns alone. In the fourth column, push three beads from the bottom portion up. In the fifth column from the left, push four beads from the bottom portion up. The blank columns between the divisor and the dividend are just to visually separate the numbers so you don't lose track of what's what. Divide the first number in the dividend (3) by the divisor (2), and put it in the first blank column in the answer section. Two goes into 3 once, so record a 1 there.  To do this, push one bead from the bottom portion up in the first column of the answer section. If you like, you can skip a column (leave it blank) between the dividend and the columns you want to use for the answer section. This can help you distinguish between the dividend and the work you do as you calculate. Next, you need to multiply the quotient in the first answer section column (1) by the dividend in column one (2) to determine the remainder. This product (2) needs to be subtracted from the first column of the dividend. The dividend should now read 14. To make the dividend read 14, push two of the bottom portion beads currently pushed up to the center bar at the fifth column back down to their starting position. Only one bead in the lower portion of the fifth column should remain pushed up to the center bar.

When dressing for the perfect date, wear something that makes you feel attractive and comfortable. The better you feel, the better you'll look. Don't wear something that's extremely uncomfortable just because it looks good, as your date will be able to sense that you're uncomfortable. Dress appropriately for your date – dressier for a fancy date, and more casual for a fun date.  If you're going out on a fancier date, break out your favorite dress and heels, or your favorite blazer. If you're going on a fun, adventurous date, wear your go-to jeans, your favorite boots or sneakers, and a cute shirt or jacket. Wearing clothes you love will make you feel more comfortable. Do your very best to be on time. If you're late, your date may think that you're blowing them off or that you don't care enough about them to be on time.  Of course, things happen in life, and you could end up running behind schedule. If this is the case, give your date a quick call or text to apologize for running late, and give them an honest timeframe of when they should expect you. Confirm the time of your date earlier in the day. This will ensure that the two of you are on the same page, and your date will appreciate that you are confirming plans. This might seem like a given, but it's very necessary if you want your date to be perfect. Show your date that you're paying attention to them by actually listening when they speak and engaging in meaningful conversation.  Compliment them on something they're wearing or how they look, and be genuine. Instead of saying "You look nice," say "You look beautiful. The color red looks amazing on you!" Being specific with your compliments will show them that you're paying attention. Don't go overboard with the compliments, but make an effort to show your date that you notice the effort they put into getting ready for the date. You planned the date, so you should pay. If you ask someone on a date and you make the plans, do not expect them to pay their way. They may offer to go dutch on the bill for your...

When dribbling, it's not smart to keep an erect, up-and-down posture. In this stance, the ball will have to travel all the way from your upper body to the ground and back again as it bounces, leaving it wide open for a defender to steal. Before you start to dribble, get in a low, defensive stance. Spread your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and drop your hips back slightly (as if you were sitting in a chair). Get your head up and your upper body mostly erect. This is a good, balanced foundation - it protects the ball while giving you plenty of mobility. Don't bend at the waist (as if you were bending over to pick something up). Besides being bad for your back, this stance is fairly unbalanced, meaning it's easier to accidentally stumble forward, which, depending on the in-game situation, can be a big mistake.

When drug metabolites are in the blood, they'll end up in the blood vessels, including those in the head. The traces of the drug then get filtered through the hair, leading to a failed drug test.  Hair drug testing can show the drugs a person may have used over the past several months. It is a more accurate test of long-term drug use than a urine or blood test. A hair drug test involves cutting 50-80 strands of hair from the back of the head, close to the crown. Note that even though the drug test is often referred to as a "hair follicle" test, your skin will not be broken in this test. A minimum length of 1.5 inches of head hair is necessary for the test. If this length of hair is unavailable (such as when the person being tested has a crew cut), body hair such as face, chest, or arm hair can be used. A hair follicle test is a more effective test of long-term or heavy drug use. A single, minor use of a drug is much less likely to lead to a failed hair drug test, though it can happen. If you have only smoked a single joint in the past 3 months, you can be cautiously hopeful that you will pass the drug test. However, if you had a period of time where you smoked a joint every day for a week, you are much more likely to fail the drug test. While a hair drug test is highly effective for past drug use, very recent drug use is harder to detect in this way. It usually takes several days to a week for recent drug use to appear in your hair. For this reason, some employers and agencies will require that you take both a hair test (for long-term drug use) and a urine test (for short-term drug use). One of the more common hair follicle tests is the 5-panel drug test. Like the urine 5-panel test, the hair follicle 5-panel test detects traces of the following drugs:  Marijuana Cocaine Opiates Amphetamines (including ecstasy, meth, and molly) PCP Some employers or legal agencies choose to test for additional drugs outside of the traditional 5-panel test. These drugs include many categories of prescription medication in...

When dry-detangling your hair, you can use your fingers, a wide-tooth comb, or a paddle brush.  Using fingers can make it easier to find and work through smaller knots. Combing or brushing hair can result in some breakage. Your hair is not very flexible when it is dry, so take care when detangling it this way. A paddle brush is better for long, loose curls. It probably won’t work on tightly curled hair. Pin your hair into four sections so that you can tackle each section separately. If your hair is especially thick, it might help to separate your hair into more than four sections. Put a bit of lubricating oil, such as coconut oil, on your fingers. This will reduce any friction that your fingers may experience as they run through your hair.  Consider using argan oil to lightly spritz your hair. This will make it easier to comb through your hair with a comb or paddle brush. You can find argan oil at your local beauty supply store. Consider wearing latex gloves to make your hands slip through your hair. You may also consider wearing gloves if you don't want to get the skin of your hands oily. As you start to comb through your hair, find where the thick and thin masses of tangles are. Separate out one tangle at a time. Pull the knotted area away from the rest of your hair if possible. If you can see it in the mirror, try taking a quick look to get a read on the situation. Run your fingers through your hair, working each knotted area one at a time. Start at the end of the chunk of hair. Work your fingers through the bottom of the knot. As your fingers undo some of the knot, work your fingers through more of the knot until you get to the root. As you finish detangling a section of hair, loosely twist it and pin it up. This will break up your work and prevent your detangled sections from re-tangling. Work through the rest of your hair, section by section. Pin up detangled sections as you go until all of your hair is detangled.

When experiencing an adrenaline rush, take note of your physical symptoms. Usually, an adrenaline rush will pass over on its own. However, be aware of your symptoms and take precautions when necessary.  You may notice an increase in strength. If you're at the gym, for example, you may suddenly be able to lift more weight. You may also feel less pain physically as adrenaline protects our bodies from pain. Be careful when experiencing these symptoms. Try to keep in mind this is an adrenaline rush and you should not overexert yourself. You will feel the pain when the rush passes.  You may also notice a sudden boost of energy and rapid breathing. If these symptoms feel extreme, take measures to calm yourself down. Take long, deep breaths. Go somewhere and sit down. Take in the scene around you. This will help take your mind off whatever caused the adrenaline rush. Exposing yourself to extremely high levels of stress over long periods of time is not healthy. Even short-lived stress can cause physical symptoms like stomach cramps, heart palpitations, and an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, do not try to stimulate an adrenaline rush multiple times a day every day. It can be fun and healthy to occasionally push yourself out of your comfort zone but give yourself time to unwind afterwards. For example, watch a funny cartoon show after watching a scary movie. Minor risks and scares are a great way to stimulate an adrenaline rush. However, you should not engage in situations that could cause harm to yourself or others simply to get an adrenaline rush. Stick to situations that are safe and controlled. If you routinely engage in risky behavior in hopes of stimulating adrenaline, talk to a psychiatrist or therapist. This can be a sign of an underlying mental health condition. Borderline personality disorder is especially associated with a tendency towards risky behaviors.

When expressing your feelings to someone else, “I” statements are powerful because they promote connection and do not make the other person feel at fault. Saying something like, “You make me feel __” conjures blame and guilt on behalf of the person you are speaking with. Reframe your statement by saying, “I feel __.” “I” statements have three parts, the emotion, the behavior, and the why. When you use the “I” statement, say a compound sentence like this: “I feel angry when you argue with me about my job because it undermines my intelligence.” Deciding how to bring up a discussion about your feelings with others can be an intimidating task. If you decide to talk with someone about your feelings, always start with positivity by saying nice things about the person and your relationship. Then bring up how you feel using “I” statements, and be as honest as possible.  For example, say something like, “I really enjoy spending time with you. You are so important in my life and I want to connect at a deeper level with you. I am a bit nervous about talking about this, but I want to be open with you. I feel…”  In a professional setting, start the conversation by being honest, direct, and positive. For example, say something like, "I really appreciate all of the hard work you are doing. Let's talk about how we can help you and the company succeed."  Let the conversation be organic and do not get upset or offended by the person's response. Communication is critically important to the expression of feelings. Choose a trusted group of loved-ones to share your feelings with. As you are talking, be as clear as possible by using your vocabulary of feelings and “I” statements. If you are sharing how a situation made you feel, clearly describe the situation and the resulting feelings. Your loved ones will listen and validate your feelings. Loved ones can also provide different perspectives on situations that you might not have considered. They can be a valuable sounding board that can help you work through your feelings. to...

When faced with a bigger opponent, you're going to be at a disadvantage from the start. Unless there's truly no other option, try to defuse or avoid physical violence at all costs. Do your best to make peace or simply walk away, if you can. There is no shame in running from a fight, especially if you don't know how it will turn out. Your opponent may be carrying a concealed weapon, or have friends lying in wait to gang up on you. Your primary goal should be getting yourself out of harm's way.  Getting away from a violent situation before it erupts should be considered a victory. If a fight becomes unavoidable, stay relaxed. When you panic, your ability to gauge your surroundings and employ effective strategies shuts down. Keep your hands up to defend your head at all times. Your forearms should be held vertical and parallel, with palms turned inward toward your cheeks. Squeeze your fists together lightly until you’re ready to throw a counterpunch. Hunch slightly to bring your elbows down closer to your midsection to protect your ribs and abdomen from body blows.  Don’t allow your guard to fall or get lax, even when you’re tired. Dropping your guard leaves you wide open for that one good shot which could mean the end of the fight. Make sure you assume a guard from which you can quickly and comfortably deliver punches or elbow strikes. An aggressor who is bigger than you is also likely to be stronger, so it’s not recommended that you try to stop his attacks directly. Instead, stay mobile to swiftly escape from his punching range. Making him chase you will exhaust him, and with every missed attack he’ll lose a little more steam. If there’s no chance of getting a safe distance away, slide your head to the outside of the punch so that it passes by harmlessly, then immediately rush in and hit back.  Evading is always preferable to blocking because it doesn’t require you to absorb force with any part of the body. Dodging a punch using only head movement is known in boxing as a “slip.” Slipping punches is an...

When facing a terminal prognosis, you will be dealing with a range of emotions. One of those will likely be grief, as you come to terms with the fact that there is a timeline for your final time. Be kind to yourself and take some time to process your emotions. Make sure to remember that there is not a "right" way to feel. Everyone handles the news differently, and that is okay. For the first few days, your emotions might seem to change from moment to moment. It is normal to feel anger, denial, fear, and sadness. Acknowledge how you are feeling, and know that what you are feeling is understandable. One of the strongest emotions you feel might be worry. Logically, you will worry about dying and what will happen after you are gone. Research tells us that one of the most effective ways to mitigate worry is to focus on what you can control. After you have had time to begin to process your grief, you can start thinking about options for your care and making plans for when you have passed. For example, you can begin making choices about the medical treatment and care that you want to receive for the rest of your time. Make sure to consider several options, and make a choice that feels the most comfortable to you. Your diagnosis might be that you have days, weeks, months, or years left to live. When living with a terminal diagnosis, it can be very difficult to focus on anything else. However, it is important that you try to live your life while dying. Try to focus on the things that you are still able to do, and make sure to spend time with your loved ones.  If you enjoy being outside, make it a point to enjoy the sunshine each day. Ask a friend or family member to take short walks with you when you are feeling up to it. Many times you might still feel healthy, despite your prognosis. If this is the case, don't be afraid to do the things you've always wanted to try. For example, maybe you've always wanted to travel abroad. If your doctor says that you are healthy enough, go for it. Coping with a terminal illness is...

When families grow and gain new members, it can require some adjustment, particularly for the new addition. Remember that your partner loves you for who you are, and that you should not try to be someone else.  At the same time, look for opportunities to make connections to his or her family. Although every family does things differently, many families accept new members by immediately treating them as a new sibling or child.  If you are an only child and have never had siblings before, think of sibling relationships as being like living with a best friend for most of your life. Everyone tries to get along, have fun, and take care of each other, with lots of compromises. Accept that hugs, jokes, and some teasing may come along with being the new sibling, but that it is coming from a place of love and welcome.  Reciprocate in turn when possible. Especially if you have just married into a new family, be sure to plan for at least an hour a day of “Me” time during visits.  "Me" time may be when you say “I’m going to have a quick nap” and then rest for a few moment, thinking back over the events of the day, releasing any possible stress that may have built up. You can even ask you partner to join you, especially if there is something you are confused about any want to ask questions. Over time, as you and your partner's family become better acquainted, these quiet moments may not even be necessary. The relationship between a parent and biological child can permit a degree of honesty unmatched by any other relationship.  While your partner may be able to tell their parents anything, remember that they are getting to know you, and tact can be important maintaining peace. Remember to never lie to your partner’s family, but also remember to break difficult truths with respect and kindness. When we begin a relationship with a partner’s family, we usually want them to like us as much as possible.  Yet, while compromise is important, it is equally as important not to sacrifice your entire personal comfort for someone...

When feeding your dog is more like throwing raw chicken at an alligator, it can be frustrating. But more than that, gulping down food can lead to several potentially harmful issues. Never ignore a habit like eating too fast. Address the issue while keeping an eye out for developing health problems. When a dog races through his food, he is also swallowing a large amount of air. This can result in something simple like burping or passing gas, which is not enjoyable for those around but is relatively harmless. The faster the dog eats, the less he chews. This can cause him to choke if something large that needed to be chewed down to size passes down his esophagus. These include: bloated or swollen belly, walking hunched over, unsuccessful attempts to vomit, listlessness, and pacing. Always call your veterinarian if you suspect bloat. This is an emergency, and it is better to waste a phone call than miss a life-threatening problem. Bloating from food can increase the chance that your dog's stomach will twist, cutting off blood supply to the stomach. This can cause irreversible damage to the stomach or death. A dog suffering from this must be seen immediately by your veterinarian. There is no home remedy.

When feet are confined inside thick shoes, they often sweat. If you’re having trouble with this, try choosing more breathable shoes to minimize the problem. Try tennis shoes made of breathable canvas material, or sandals during warmer weather. Avoid rubber shoes that don’t allow any air flow. Try rotating your shoes every day. This will allow your shoes to dry completely between uses. Cleaning your shoes can help eliminate any buildup of bacteria or other pesky irritants inside your shoes. Wash shoes that you wear regularly at least once every week or so.   You can try washing your shoes with soap and water in the sink, or running them through the dishwasher/washing machine by themselves. Be sure to let your shoes dry completely before wearing them again. If your feet sweat a lot, your socks will inevitably soak up all of that excess sweat and grime caused by your feet. To prevent problematic odor and bacteria growth, you should avoid wearing the same socks for more than one day. Wash your socks regularly and consider changing your socks multiple times in a day if they become too damp with sweat. For sweaty feet issues, synthetic socks are often more effective because they allow more air to flow through and they absorb more of the excess sweat. They also wick moisture away from your feet.  Choose socks made from polyester. Avoid more restrictive fabrics like nylon or 100% cotton socks. Some people have also had success with socks made of natural fibers. The natural materials often have higher levels of absorption, leaving your feet less sweaty and uncomfortable. Consider trying socks made of natural fibers like hemp, bamboo, or wool. If you don’t have any antifungal powders, you can try applying cornstarch to your feet. Just rub a pinch of cornstarch on the bottom of your feet before you put your socks on. This can help sweaty feet stay dry for longer periods of time. You can also sprinkle some cornstarch in your shoes to add an extra absorbent measure. If you find yourself with constantly sweaty feet, it...

When filling a glasses prescription, ask your doctor about scratch-resistant coating. While this won't protect against all possible damages, it will make scratches less likely to occur during day-to-day wear. Glass has gone somewhat out of fashion in recent years; however, glass lenses are less likely to accrue scratches than plastic.  Glass is a harder than plastic as a surface. Plastic lenses are softer and more likely to scratch in response to day-to-day wear and tear.  When purchasing your next pair of glasses, ask for a glass lens over a plastic one.  The disadvantages of glass lenses are that they are heavier than plastic lenses and the lens can shatter if hit with a projectile. If you're worried about scratching eyeglasses, consider switching to contact lenses. Contact lenses are easier and cheaper to replace in the event of damage. Ask your eye doctor about switching to contact lenses if you want to avoid scratches and other damages.  Contacts can provide greater peripheral vision and do not need to be removed as often during day-to-day activity. Contacts might not be a great option for you if you're forgetful. It can be harmful to leave contacts in overnight for too many nights on end. If you're squeamish about putting things in your eyes, contacts might be tricky. Many people switch back and forth between contacts and glasses depending on their comfort.

When first identified, Toxic Shock Syndrome seemed to occur almost exclusively in menstruating women who used extra-absorbent tampons.  Increased awareness and product changes have significantly reduced the overall number of incidents of TSS related to tampon use, but they still account for half of all cases.  TSS is caused by staph (usually) or strep bacteria that release toxins into the bloodstream and (in a small percentage of people) cause a major immune response with serious side effects. However, it is still not entirely clear why using extra-absorbent tampons that remain inserted for long periods of time is the greatest risk factor for TSS.  Some theorize that the extended insertion period creates ideal conditions for bacteria growth, while others believe the tampon dries out over time and causes small cuts and abrasions when removed.  Regardless of the cause, your best defenses against TSS as a menstruating female are to use pads instead of tampons whenever possible; use the least absorbent tampons necessary and change them regularly (every four to eight hours); store tampons in a cool, dry place that does not promote bacteria growth (so, not in the bathroom); and wash your hands before and after handling a tampon. While they cause far fewer cases of TSS than tampons, vaginally-inserted female contraceptives of the sponge and diaphragm varieties must be used with care.  As with tampons, the length of time in which the device remains inserted seems to be the key factor in the possibility of developing TSS. Basically, keep sponge or diaphragm-style contraceptives inserted for only as long as necessary, and never for more than twenty-four hours.  Also store them somewhere that doesn’t get warm and humid (and foster bacteria growth), and wash your hands before and after handling. Women, and especially young women, comprise a significant majority of all cases of TSS, but it can affect males and females, young and old alike.  If the staph or strep bacteria enters the body, the toxins are released, and the...
