Learning a new language can be a stressful experience for many adults, and can make them feel like children struggling to pick up something new.  Build on the positives of this perspective by enabling your students to have some fun with it.  Most adults like to reminisce about their own childhood, or that of their growing / grown children.  Let them pick a favorite kids' book from one of those times that is available in the foreign language, and read it together in class.  It will seem familiar but new, and fun but challenging.  Listen to songs, even sing songs together in class.  Use familiar nursery rhymes and lullabyes in the foreign language, along with songs distinct to that language / culture. Most adults will be sympathetic to the experiences of the other students in the class, and want to help each other succeed.  And, according to the notions of task-based learning discussed in this article, having students learn from each other's successes and mistakes is vital to adult language development.  One good paired activity is the aforementioned "information gap" game of having one student describe a picture in the foreign language to another, who must draw it.  A similar option is having students do a variation of the old "pass a secret down the line" game, except having them alternate the language in which the sentence is whispered -- (essentially translating back and forth down the line). Even simply encouraging your students to listen to each other carefully as they attempt to solve problems and answer questions can be quite useful.  Hearing others struggle and succeed provides both consolation and challenge.  Each student will also naturally "notice the gap" between the response given, how they would have responded, and/or the correct response, thereby helping to build confidence and competence. Unlike many child students, adult learners usually have a specific goal in mind for wanting to learn a foreign language.  Crafting activities that support this goal, and offering related goals and rewards...

Learning a new skill is a great, productive way to refocus your mind on something else. Think of something that you've always wanted to learn how to do. You probably ignored it because you were too busy before, right? Take advantage of your new-found freedom and do that thing you've always wanted to do. Exercise is another great distraction. Not only will taking this opportunity to get in shape give you something else to think about, but exercise also has another important benefit: it releases endorphins. Endorphins are the brain chemical that help make you happy. Your brain won't be able to resist feeling better! Volunteering is another great way to help you forget your problems. Not only will you make a positive impact in your community, but you'll build your confidence and your skills. Stable, long-term volunteering also looks great on resumes! You can volunteer at a shelter, soup kitchen, animal rescue, or for whatever cause you identify with most. Gaming is a great way to not only distract yourself but multiple studies have shown that they can also teach your brain vital problem solving skills. It can also provide a safe environment in which to release feelings and express yourself, depending on what types of games you play.  Games like Journey or Flower are almost meditative in their relaxed quality. Role playing games (or RPGs, as gamers call them) can allow you release pent-up feelings that you didn't even know you had. Violent games can be a healthy way to release anger so long as you play the right ones. Board games and other tabletop games, meanwhile, can be a great way to bring new people into your life and help you build new social relationships. Writing can be a great way to express yourself in a healthy manner. Do whatever kind of writing appeals to you and makes you feel better and more fulfilled. You can help others by improving wikiHow articles. You can give yourself a great feeling of achievement by writing a book (try fanfiction if you're new to creative writing). If you want to work on...

Learning and studying shouldn't be stressful.  Being stressed out can actually make it harder to learn and remember things.  Think about the reasons why you're stressed out and try to resolve those reasons (remove them from your life). For example, if you get stressed out about assignments because you leave them to the last minute to finish, create yourself a study schedule.  Build enough time into the study schedule so that you finish your assignments well enough in advance of the due dates to eliminate any of the stress you were feeling. If the grades you're receiving aren't that great it can be easy to let negativity take over.  Bad grades are disappointing, but the mere fact that you're looking for ways to improve your grades means you're trying to think positively. Acknowledge to yourself that your grades aren't that good, but you're going to do something about it.  Start thinking about how you're going to make things better, rather than concentrating on where you are right now. If your grades are lower than you want or are expecting, chances are you're not doing something you should, or you're doing something you shouldn't.  The best way you can fix whatever is wrong is to first figure out what is wrong.  If you already know what you might be doing wrong — great, you're on the right track! If you aren't sure what you're doing wrong, take a ‘deep dive' into your study history and grades.  Look for a pattern or a sudden change. Were your grades always not-so-good, or did they start to decline after a specific time period? Is there a specific subject or task that you seem to have the most trouble with, or does it seem to be an overall problem? Are there any reasons, other than school, that might be the cause of your problems?  Is there anything else going on in your life that may be impacting your grades? Learning may not seem like a physical process, but it can take a physical toll on your body.  If your body and your brain are telling you to take a break, then take a break.  Restart whatever you were...

Learning how to best direct your studies can help you improve your understanding of course material. If there's something you do not understand, focus on improving in that area. Identify where you need to improve in each class and direct your focus accordingly.  It may be one particular subject that's giving you trouble. You may find history and English courses easy to understand, but falter slightly in your math class. In the coming weeks, make math your priority. Strive to raise your grades in this area. It may also be one part of a particular course that stumps you. You may be doing great in genetics overall, but don't understand chapter 12 of your textbook. When studying for your upcoming exam, place a lot of energy mastering chapter 12. Most professors will be happy to give you examples of past work. If there's a test or paper coming up, request a sample paper or sample test. Some classes actually provide information like this on a course website. These can be great resources to help you succeed academically.  Many teachers keep old papers on hand to give students a writing model. If you can get some old papers, read them carefully and try to emulate their writing style. If your teacher does not have model papers, try asking someone else who previously took the class and earned a high mark if they still have their old papers. A lot of teachers will be happy to present you with old tests as a study guide. Study the structure and layout of the test as well as the concepts covered to get an idea of what could be on your test. This can give you a sense of the type of questions that may be asked. Make a point of reviewing all course material before a test. If you're not understanding something, it may be a matter of how it's being explained. Everyone is different, and has a different learning language that works for them. If your professor or your textbook are leaving you baffled, look into outside course material. Maybe lecture notes from another professor, or an alternative textbook, can help you better...

Learning how to greet people properly is one of the first steps to speaking any language. Following are some common ways to say "hello" and "goodbye" in Japanese. Look up the sounds that correspond to the characters to make sure you pronounce them correctly:  はじめまして ("Nice to meet you.") おはようございます ("Good morning.") こんにちは ("Good Day" {can be used only till sunset and thus can also be used as "Good Afternoon"}) おやすみなさい ("Good night.") さようなら ("Goodbye.") Now that you know the most basic way to start a conversation, learn a few phrases that will help you move it along by expressing interest in the person to whom you're talking.  おげんき　ですか？("How are you?") げんき　です。ありがとう。("I'm fine, thanks.") ありがとう ございます ("Thank you very much.") すみません ("Excuse me.") ごめん　なさい ("Sorry.") わかります ("I understand.") しりません ("I don't know.") The numerals 1 through 10 are written in Kanji. They are pronounced using different combinations of the same 46 sounds that are used to pronounce all Japanese characters. Practice counting to ten:  一 (1) 二 (2) 三 (3) 四 (4) 五 (5) 六 (6) 七 (7) 八 (8) 九 (9) 十 (10) Buy an English - Japanese dictionary and practice pronouncing different words and phrases until you're comfortable with the sounds. Having this foundation will help you excel when you take your Japanese to the next level by signing up for some classes.

Learning how to make your eyes red and teary on command for the purpose of "fake crying" can be seriously challenging — even professional actors often struggle with it. Though there's no "right" way to do this, certain psychological tricks can be a major help. One useful strategy is to focus on memories and ideas that make you sad, like a close relative who has passed away, a humiliating event you experienced, or a major worry or fear in your life. As unpleasant as it may feel to experience them, the more dark and depressing your thoughts, the more they can help you get into a crying mindset.  Just a few more examples of things you might want to think about are: romantic breakups,  recent arguments, troubles at work, times when friends or family betrayed you, people that have drifted out of your life, and times when you've been very fearful for yourself or someone close to you. It can be especially helpful to try to convince yourself that all the people you know "have their lives together" except for you. Try to evoke feelings of hopefulness and despair — think to yourself, "This is it — I'll never be successful and happy." However, be sure not to let yourself wallow in this mindset after you need to fake being sad. The last thing you want to do is to make yourself genuinely depressed. In the words of one New York University acting teacher, an actor trying to fake cry should “particularize the moment or text with something specific and personal to the performer, so that it becomes less about what is demanded of them and more about an inner secret, desire, fear.” In other words, the best way to get yourself sad enough to cry is to lose yourself in thoughts about your deepest, darkest inner fears and demons. Try to mentally convince yourself that the task you need to fake cry for is all about you being judged as a person even if it's not. Be prepared to dig up and confront your worst personal demons. One critically acclaimed actor, Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad fame, has revealed in interviews how his most...

Learning how to name the cells that contain your data will help you to write an Excel formula.  Columns are lettered at the top of your sheet. They start at "A" and continue through the alphabet, using double letters after "Z." Rows run along the left side. They are numbered in sequential order. Identify the letter first and then the number. For example, "C2."  Writing "C2" in a formula will tell Excel to use the data in that specific cell. Selecting an entire group of cells in the B column, will tell Excel to use a range of cells. For example, "C2:C6." The colon indicates it is a range of cells. The same method can be used with rows.

Learning more about the harmful effects of mankind’s activities will make you a more effective advocate for the oceans. Some of the things to read up on include the problems of overfishing, the impacts of climate change on the ocean, the damage from agricultural, industrial, and sewage waste. Encourage your family and friends to learn more, and to develop ocean-friendly habits. Be vocal about your concerns on social media. Write or call your representatives, show up for town hall meetings, or write letters to the editor of your local paper. If you live near the ocean, join a beach or underwater clean-up group. These events are usually organized locally by community groups or municipalities, and in some cases are held across the country on specific dates. Consider sharing your time or money with an organization whose mission includes ocean conservation.

Learning something new can be as simple as just paying closer attention to the things around you. For example, the next time you go to get your morning coffee, notice how the barista prepares your order. You might find yourself thinking, “Oh, that’s what a pour over is! I learned something new!” Interacting with people is one of the best ways to learn! Make it a point to get to know new people on a regular basis. You can ask them about their experiences and preferences, learning a lot in the process. Actually doing things is a great way to learn something new. Be ready to try new things. Work on saying “yes” to things. For example, if a friend asks you to go kayaking you can say, “I’ve never done that, but I’d love to learn!” You want to be able to retain what you learn, so work on keeping your memory fresh. Physical health is important for this, so eat a balanced diet and get regular exercise. You can also boost your brain health by doing crossword puzzles and playing other types of word games. There are a lot of ways that you can integrate the things you learn into your routine. When you learn something that would be interesting to you, take note. Then think about how you can use the information to your advantage. For example, if you recently read that berries are good for brain health, add some to your grocery list. You can start adding some blueberries to your breakfast each day.

Learning to be patient takes--wait for it--patience. If you are easily frustrated, that isn’t likely to change overnight, and being hard on yourself will only add to your frustration. Instead, recognize that you are working toward being more patient and forgive yourself for any mistakes that you make along the way. If you’re putting in sincere effort, you deserve to be given a break once in a while, especially from yourself. For example, if you get frustrated sitting in traffic, recognize that you are frustrated and try to calm down. Take some deep breaths, then let it go. There is no need to be frustrated about being frustrated! This will give you can a clear definition of how you are succeeding. Each goal you reach will help motivate you to reach the next. Be proud of the progress you make when you hit each goal and use that energy to push you to your next one. Some examples of goals that lead to being more patient might be things like:  Waiting in line without being frustrated. Keeping a positive attitude with co-workers. Overlooking things that your significant other does that you find annoying. Because it will! Being patient benefits you in many ways. First, it helps keep your relationships more loving and respectful and allows you to be calmer and more at peace in general. When you start to feel frustrated, keep in mind that responding with patience will help you live a more satisfying life. You’re in this for the long haul, so don’t get distracted by minor frustrations along the way. Listen to the inner dialogue that plays out in your mind all day long. This is your “self-talk.” Your self-talk can tear you down just as easily the things other people say, or it can boost your confidence. When you analyze yourself and think (or talk) to yourself about being patient, focus on your progress in a positive way. It’s easy to get frustrated when you’re angry, but positivity will help you calm down and approach things rationally. For example, avoid thoughts like “I’m just not patient enough to deal with that.”...

Learning to get along with cats is a high bar for many dogs to clear; they are simply hard-wired to chase small, furry things. If your dog is poorly trained this process will the doomed from the start. At a minimum your dog should reliably obey commands to sit, stay, lie down, heel, and come when called. If he or she does not, it is strongly advised that you Teach Your Dog Basic Commands before you continue. If you have ever watched a professional dog trainer at work, you have probably seen them use a clicker. The sound a clicker makes is called a reward marker. It tells your dog, “what you just did was great, and you’re going to get a treat for it!” This ensures that she understands exactly what behavior she is being rewarded for. You can use the word “yes” (or another word of your choosing) if you prefer, but a clicker is the most effective tool, because it is a sound your dog is unlikely hear in any other context. This is relatively simple to teach, and if you follow the instructions in the article Clicker Train Your Dog, your dog should figure it out pretty quickly. ” This behavior is trickier to teach than those mentioned above, and many dog-owners neglect it. It is one of the most useful tools you can have in your obedience arsenal, however. It will enable you to stop your dog from engaging in dangerous, destructive, or generally unwanted behavior, and will be invaluable in teaching him or her to interact safely with a cat. As with any behavior, you will need to start simple, then gradually introduce elements of difficulty as your dog masters the basic concept.

Learning to live in the present can take a lifetime, but it will be worth it. Embracing every moment and opportunity that comes your way will help you stay grounded in the present instead of worrying over something in the past or in the future that can cause you harm. Take the time to "wake up and smell the roses" by slowing down, enjoying your relationship, taking a daily walk, and unplugging from your computer and phone for several hours every day.   Meditate. Meditating for 10-20 minutes every day can help you focus on your body and your mind and on what's happening around you. Use all of your senses. Take the time to appreciate the sights, smells, and feelings around you. Don't take a day of your life for granted. Write down all of the things you're thankful for and embrace them as much as you can. Though preventing anxiety should come from within, there are some steps you can take to prevent anxiety in your daily life. Try to avoid situations that cause you a lot of anxiety or extra stress and make your life easier and more manageable. For example, if you're always anxious about getting to work late, leave the house fifteen minutes earlier. If you're anxious about how your best friend really feels about  you, have an honest conversation with her. If going to loud concerts, crowded restaurants, or big parties where you don't know many people makes you deeply anxious, avoid these situations unless you can find a way to manage them. If you want to prevent your anxiety, then you should spend as much time as you can with friends that make you feel more calm, at ease, and at peace with yourself. Seek out the people in your life who make you feel grounded, and avoid the people who cause worry, make you more stressed, and make you feel like your problems are bigger than they really are. And if there's an acquaintance in your circle who always calms you down, seek him out. Plug time with calming friends into your schedule. They'll make you feel even better about your struggles. Keeping a journal can help you...

Learning to lose gracefully is an important step in being less self-centered. The world won't come to an end, and that's a lesson you need to learn.  When self-centered people lose, they go into disaster mode. Let yourself lose some contest, the smaller, the better. Then act like an adult afterwards. Congratulate the winner, even if they're being big-headed. Shake their hand and look them in the eye. Say "Good game." If you have trouble feeling gratitude, fake it until you feel it. Make yourself say "thank you" when someone helps you out. If you train yourself to say "thank you" when you recognize someone making the effort to help, you'll make yourself less self-centered, practically by accident.  When you ride the bus, say thank you to the bus driver. When the server at a restaurant fills your water glass, make eye contact and say thank you. When your mother drops you off at school, say thank you. Look for excuses to give thanks. Even if you think you deserve more, or that the efforts of others come up short, thank them anyway. However you're feeling, an easy way to demonstrate respect is to make good eye contact. Even if you don't like what someone is saying, even if you think you don't need to listen to it, be respectful and make eye contact. Practice basic listening skills along with eye contact. Nod your head to show that you're listening. Summarize what someone has said after they say it, before you respond. Show that you're listening. If you're looking around the room and eavesdropping on other conversations while your friend is talking, you'll seem bored and self-centered. When you're with someone, give them your attention. Focus. Listen to what other people say, and put the focus more on them in your conversations. Ask questions and demonstrate an interest in what someone is saying.

Learning your dog's habits, mannerisms, and movements through observation will allow the process of understanding its communication behavior to feel more natural.  There will be plenty of things it does that will make sense to you without explanation. Just as every person is unique, so is your dog.  Be aware that much of a dog's language or communication techniques are subtle. By learning canine communication, you will be able to respond to any problems your dog expresses before a situation escalates. Not noticing small signs of stress or unhappiness can soon lean to more aggressive or distressed behaviors. Remember that this is a two-way learning process. Dogs have to learn our behavioral cues as well, and you should be careful about your own gestures and posture. Dogs also do not understand English. It is important that you teach your dog what you mean by "no" or "sit". Just saying "sit" over and over again won't make him learn it, and will make him think it's just part of the random nonsense you say during the day. Luring your dog into a sit position and then rewarding them heavily for doing that task will make him eager to sit, and then saying the word as he sits will make him connect the dots that the word "sit" means "put your butt on the floor". Note that a dog's ability to signal may be hampered by the breed in question. For example, if your dog has squat ears or a docked tail, some of the signals may not apply to him/her. Consider how you feel when someone stares at you directly rather than using normal eye contact. Just as you find it confronting, dogs also feel confused and threatened by direct head-on staring because it is a threat stance for them. A dog that looks away in this situation is actually being polite and is seeking to avoid confrontation. Alternately, training your dog to make eye contact to communicate is extremely helpful for keeping his focus on you.   The most effective forms of dog training are positive reinforcement and clicker training. These are the most consistently proven...

Leather polish will bring a shine to your jacket, but has the potential to discolor, dry out, or clog the leather surface. Use this for special occasions, and test on a hidden area first before using a new product. Buff with a cloth until a glossy surface is created.  Do not polish suede or other leather with a soft, fuzzy texture. It is not possible to make suede glossy without permanently removing this texture.  Don't use shoe polish, even if it is intended for leather shoes. If your jacket gets wet, hang it evenly on a hanger to dry at room temperature. Remove objects from the pockets to avoid stretching the wet leather, and keep it away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or airing cupboards. Apply conditioner after drying, if the leather had become thoroughly soaked.

Leather requires more careful care than fabric or vinyl upholstery, as it is more susceptible to aging and fading. The best option to clean leather is to use cleaners specifically made for leather, such as cleaners and conditioners. These are often available as a kit, such as the Wolfgang Leather Care Cockpit Kit or the Pinnacle Contours Interior Kit. Leather responds to heat and will accept cleaners and treatments more readily in a warm environment. If it’s hot where you live, then you don’t need to turn on the heater. But if it’s the middle of winter, turn on the heater for a few minutes to warm up the car before cleaning the leather. For stubborn stains on leather upholstery, pretreat the leather with a leather conditioner. Then apply a leather stain remover on the stain and rub it in. Allow it to sit for about 30 seconds and wipe off the stain remover. Apply the leather cleaner to your upholstery, focusing on one section or seat at a time. Use a soft cloth to rub the cleaner on the upholstery. Rinse off the cleaner thoroughly with clean water. Follow the instructions on the product’s label for proper usage. You can mix some mild hand soap with warm water and wash the leather upholstery. Do not use very much water. Be sure to thoroughly rinse off the soapy mixture by using a clean cloth soaked in water to wipe off the soap. After you’ve cleaned the leather, make sure it is completely dry before you apply conditioner. While leather naturally repels water, it will not hold the conditioner if it’s wet. Leather conditioner will replenish the oils that make your leather smooth and rich-looking. Less expensive leather conditioners may be petroleum-based, which tend to cling to leather and can transfer to clothing. They may also leave a greasy finish on the leather. Using a water-based, pH neutral leather conditioner will ensure that your leather upholstery and your clothes are kept in good condition. Apply the conditioner to a cloth and wipe over the leather. Wipe away any excess conditioner and allow it to sit...

Leather stains and discolorations are caused by a lot of different factors, so you need to figure out what is ailing your shoes before you can fix it.  Leather sandals often show spots or discoloration from contact with water, which might look unattractive but isn't "dirty" per se.  One quick remedy involves a 1:1 ratio of white vinegar and water, which you can light blot on the discolored areas-- this also works on salt stains on leather boots in the winter. Be sure not to saturate the leather. Dirty sandals carry everything from streaks of mud to deeper stains of oil, wine, or other liquids. You will need to consider the type of stain and desired results to clean leather sandals properly. You may also just want to polish or buff out scratches, scuffs, or other marks. If you only have a small stain, dish soap or liquid hand soap will work fine. Avoid bar soap, which has a higher pH level than leather, and can cause it to dry out.  For larger or stubborn stains, try leather conditioner, available at your local big box store or shoe store, or online at most big retailers. You should always remove any dry debris from your shoes before applying any type of cleanser or moisturizer to the leather. Otherwise, you'll create a muddy mess that will be harder to remove. Use a dry, soft cloth or soft-bristled brush (an old toothbrush will work well) and a very gentle hand. Keep in mind that soft, supple leather can be easily scratched, so if you are wiping off dirt and you use too much force you might actually cause a permanent mark on your shoe. Begin by moistening a clean, soft cloth, then apply a small amount of soap or leather conditioner to the cloth. Now, gently rub the dirty spots. You should try to use a gentle, even motion, and create a lather. Using another clean, slightly damp cloth, use a circular motion to remove the product from the leather. Be sure you remove it all. Although you want to reduce the level of moisture that you're introducing into the sandal, it's important to wipe away any cleaning products...

Leave 1/2" (1 cm or so) extra on all sides, stopping just below your second knuckle. This is the template for your finger puppet. You'll need two of your template (front and back) plus any extra bits. Wings for your butterfly? A nose for your elephant? A beak for your chicken? Ears for your rabbit? Get as intricately detailed as possible. If your brain isn't firing on all pistons at the moment, look up a few generic cartoons for detailing inspiration. Before you get to sewing the base of the puppet, sew on all the small, finer details. While you have your thread out, sew on a grin with a backstitch. A whip stitch will probably be best for adding your eyes/nose/beak/wings/general details. If sewing isn't your forte, you may be able to get around most of it with hot glue. But take care -- glue and felt isn't always pretty, especially if too much glue is used. Do a blanket stitch around the entire body; if you've added a piece that doesn't allow for this, switch to a running stitch. Now all you've got to do is put 'em on and get to creating. Unless you want to give your puppet 9 more friends, of course!

Leave a large space to the right hand side of your paper -- you'll need it to write out the factors. Keep them in separate lists. It may be easiest if the lists line up on top of each other. Start with 1 and work your way up, listing them in pairs.  For example, if your fraction is 24/60, start off with 24.You'd write: 24 -- 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24  Then, move onto 60.You'd write: 60 -- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60 This may be referred to as the GCF in your textbook. What's the biggest number that goes into both the numerator and the denominator? Whatever it is, divide both numbers by that. For our example, the biggest number that is a factor of both numbers is 12. Therefore, we divide 24 by 12 and 60 by 12, leaving us with 2/5 -- our reduced fraction!

Leave about 4 to 8 inches (10.16 to 20.32 centimeters) hanging off of the left side of the corner. Keep the rest of the ribbon on the spool on the top edge. Take the spool-side of the ribbon and pull it behind the top right corner, down towards the bottom right corner. Keep your thumb over the ribbon on the top left corner so that it doesn't fall off. Keep the wraps nice and snug so that they don't slide off of the corners. At this point, it would be a good idea to take a moment to adjust the positions of the wrapped ribbons on each of the corners. If they look like they are slipping off, pull them further from the corners. Bring both ribbons towards the center of the top left corner. Measure the spool ribbon against the other ribbon, and cut it down to match. Cross the left ribbon over and under the right, then tug on both ends to tighten them. Fold both ribbons into loops, then cross the right one over the left—just like tying a shoe! Once the bow is tight and secure, snip off the excess ribbon at the tails. For a fancier touch, cut them at angles or into notches.

Leave enough room at the top of each bowl to prevent it from sloshing over the sides. Set the bowls out in the room with smoke-scented carpet. While it won’t completely remove the odor from the carpet, your chosen substance will break down the smoke smell in the room and start the removal process. Do not mix white vinegar and ammonia. Doing so will create a harmful gas. The white vinegar or ammonia will absorb the odor, even though it isn’t applied to a surface. Once you’re finished with the treatment, remove and dispose of your substance. Keep pets and children away from your vinegar or ammonia bowls. As with general odors, sprinkle with baking soda and allow it to sit overnight before vacuuming it up.  Keep pets and children away from the area during treatment. You can also try a commercial carpet cleaner, which will consist of scented granules. White vinegar is an effective acidic cleaner. It kills bacteria and removes odors from tar and resin. You can also opt for a commercial cleaning product. Some are targeted at smoke smells. Follow the instructions for your machine. If you absolutely can’t rent a steamer, you can try saturating the carpet with white vinegar. The smell from the vinegar will evaporate away.  Be sure to have a fan on, and, if possible, open a window to help prevent mildew from the wet carpet. You can rent a carpet steam cleaner from a hardware store or supermarket. Leave your fan on while the carpet dries. Avoid walking on the wet carpet.

Leave frozen, pre-cooked crab legs in the refrigerator overnight to thaw slowly. You could thaw the crab legs a little more quickly by placing them beneath cold, running water for a few minutes. Add about 2 cups (500 ml) of water to the bottom of a large steamer pot along with 1 Tbsp (15 ml) salt and set it to boiling over medium-high to high heat.  You need to have enough water to cover the bottom, but not so much that it touches the bottom of the steamer rack. You could also use a heavy stockpot, as long as you have a steaming basket or steamer rack that will fit over it. Arrange the crab legs in an even layer on the steamer rack and position the rack over the pot of boiling water. Ideally, you should use a steamer rack or basket that can be lowered into the pot so that the pot itself can be closed. Cover the pot of boiling water with a lid and cook the crab legs for about six minutes.  Make sure that the water is boiling before you cover the pot and start the timer. The finished crab legs should have a "cooked odor." Remove them from the basket with a tong and serve them warm with a side of melted butter.

Leave it on the side to allow the mixture to soften. Let the mixture cool down before adding the yeast mixture to it.  Add the rest of the liquid and continue to knead. You will know when the dough kneaded enough when long strands start to show. Thoroughly rinse out the bowl used and add the sesame oil to it. Put the dough back in the bowl and gently rub the dough around to give the outer portion a thin layer oil "bath". Place the bowl in a warm room for about an hour. Wait until the dough rises to double in size.  You can develop the flavor of the dough by placing it in the refrigerator for at least three to six hours.  Bring the flavor out even more by gently pushing the dough back down and allow it to rise again.

Leave the door of the crate open and verbally encourage your dog to check it out.  Your dog may go in to have a look see, or may not be so easily convinced.  If your dog does enter the crate, be sure to give a lot of positive praise to let him know that you are pleased. Do not shut the door on the dog if he does enter; wait until the dog is secure being in the crate before you close the door. You can close the treats inside the crate for a few minutes to build your dog's interest, or let the dog get to them right away.  It is OK if the dog just pokes its head in to get the treats at first.  Gradually move the treats further and further back into the crate until the dog has to go completely inside to get them. If your dog is not responding well to treats, try placing a favorite toy, or a brand new and especially tempting chew toy inside the crate. Once your dog will voluntarily enter the crate to retrieve a toy or treat, you can begin feeding him meals inside the crate.  Put the food dish all the way back in the crate, and leave the door open while the dog eats his first meal or two in the crate. Once your dog seems content standing and eating in the crate, you can begin closing the door while he eats.  Stay nearby where the dog can see you.  At the first few feedings, open the door as soon as the dog is done eating.  Then gradually leave the door shut for a few additional minutes after each feeding, until the dog is staying in the crate for 10 minutes at a time. Once your dog is used to eating in the crate with the door closed, you can leave him in for longer periods of time.  Call your dog to the crate and give him a treat.  Then choose a command, such as "kennel up," point to the crate, and encourage him to enter.  When he does, give him a treat and close a door.  Stay near the crate for the first 5 to 10 minutes, then leave the room for a short time.  Come back in the room, and let the dog out. Repeat this process a few times a day for several days, gradually increasing the time your dog spends in the...

Leave the lid off the jar, and make sure there is no metal anywhere on the jar before putting it in the microwave.  Full-fat milk is traditional, but you can also use low-fat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other type of milk you like. If you don't have a suitable jar on hand, you can use a bowl or other microwave-safe container instead. Depending on your microwave, you may only have one heat setting. If the milk isn't hot when you take it out of the microwave, put it back in for 15 more seconds. Always use caution when handling hot liquids. Be careful not to spill the milk when you remove it from the microwave and use an oven mitt or towel if the container is too hot to touch.

Leave the lip gloss on the counter, or put it into the fridge so it cools a little faster. Once it is cool, it won’t be runny and will be the perfect consistency to wear! These glosses are great to keep in a purse or desk, and they make great gifts, too. You can use squeezable lip gloss tubes, tubes with wands, chapstick tubes, tins, or any other container you’d like. Just make sure that whatever container you use has a lid. Move the gloss into the containers soon after it has been melted and mixed. The warmer it is, the easier it’ll be to work with.

Leave these drinks in the freezer until they are nearly frozen, but still 100% liquid. You want your drinks to become very cold in the freezer, but not solid or slushy. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the strength of your freezer, so frequently check on your beer to make sure it hasn't frozen in the bottle.  If you leave your bottles in the freezer for too long, the liquid inside will eventually freeze solid. Since water expands when it freezes, this can cause the bottles to crack or rupture. This is why it's recommended to use several bottles - if you lose one bottle, you may still be able to use another. Drinks with clear bottles work best for this trick because they allow an unhindered view of the liquid inside the bottle. This trick requires a sturdy surface to work - tile works best, but if you don't have any tile in your home, you can use concrete, stone, or another similar surface. You don't want to use a surface that can scratch, break, or mar easily, so avoid wood and softer metals. Set any bottles that have frozen solid aside. You want a firm grip on your bottle, but not an intense one. Hold the bottle just several inches above the hard surface you've chosen. Your goal is to create bubbles in the bottle, but to (obviously) avoid breaking the bottle, so strike it against the hard surface firmly but not violently. When in doubt, be conservative. The bottle may make a noise like a tuning fork. If done correctly, the bubbles created by smacking the bottle against the hard surface should freeze instantly, then, ice should spread from the bubbles throughout the bottle, freezing all the liquid within about 5 - 10 seconds.  If you're having trouble getting this trick to work, your liquid may not be cold enough. Return your bottle to the freezer and try again later. You may also want to try uncapping the bottle right before you smack it against the surface, as this can aid in the production of bubbles. This amazing trick works according to the principle of supercooling....

Leave-in conditioners can be left in your hair for many hours at a time. They keep your hair moisturized, minimizing fraying and frizzling that can occur when your hair dries out. Too dry, and hair becomes brittle and hard to brush. Too wet, and it becomes weak and easy to pull out accidentally. Find the middle ground, brushing or combing when your hair is damp after a shower, but not dripping wet. If you wake up with your hair in a tangle, braid it before you go to bed to minimize the amount of tangling that can happen. Alternatively, you could put your hair in a bun. If you have afro-textured hair, or another easily tangled hair type, part it into several sections, and clip them to keep them apart. Unclip these sections one at a time when washing your hair, and clip them back together before unclipping the next section. This reduces the chance of larger mats forming. A mild, low-sudsing shampoo without sodium lauryl sulfate is recommended for this type of hair.

Leaving the scab open to the air will help it heal. You don’t want to keep it too moist, as this can allow a fungal infection to take hold. Alternate treating the scab with ointment and allowing it to dry. Picking off the scab can increase the risk of infection, cause scarring, and prolong the healing time for the wound. Avoid the temptation to pick off the scab to get rid of it. A new scab will likely develop in its place and the wound will take longer to heal. Antiseptics like hydrogen peroxide or iodine can kill good bacteria on the scab and lead to swelling. They can also dry out the scab, which can prolong the healing time for the scab. You can use topical antibiotic ointments like Neosporin on the scab. If the scab starts to swell, feels hot to the touch, or is leaking pus or fluid, it may be infected. Go see a doctor right away so they can diagnose the issue and prescribe the right treatment. A scab that is infected and untreated can take a long time to heal or lead to other health issues. This is especially true in patients that have leg scars, as well as people that are diabetic or immunocompromised. Small scabs can lead to ulceration.

Ledgers record all of the transactions for that account. You will need to create a ledger for each account that you do business with. There are two ledgers included: "Cash" and "Profit and Loss Account". You can create as many other ledgers as you need. When creating accounts for other parties, under Sales or Purchase (revenue), they must be listed as Sundry Debtors, Sundry Creditors or Branch/Divisions. Place the party in the group that they closest relate to. For example, A party that you sell more to than you buy from would be a Sundry Debtors account. Select "Accounts Info" from the Gateway menu. Choose the "Ledgers" option. You can then choose to create a single ledger or create multiple ledgers. The first thing you will need to do when creating a ledger is to select which group it will be assigned to. Selecting the right group is important, as it will affect how numbers and sales are totaled later. The list of available groups will be on the right side of the screen. Enter a name for your ledger. This will allow you to easily know what the ledger contains without having to open it. When creating a ledger, you will need to indicate the balance that the ledger is starting with. If you are creating a ledger for your bank account, this would be the amount currently in it. If you are starting a ledger for the amount owed to a contractor, the amount you owe would be the starting balance.

Ledyba is a Flying-type bug with three abilities (Early Bird, Rattled, and Swarm), and one hidden ability. You will encounter this bug from red berry trees.  Swarm - When HP is below 1/3rd, the bug's power increases to 1.5 times. Early Bird - Sleep conditions will last for half as long, rounding down. For example, half of three turns is 1.5, which rounds down to one turn. When the number of turns to sleep is one, half of this rounded down is zero, and the Pokémon wakes up instantly. Rattled - Its speed is raised by one stage when the Pokémon is hit by a Bug-type, Ghost-type, or Dark-type move. This bug will target your blueberry trees. It has Illuminate, Swarm, and Prankster ability, and also has one hidden ability, which will be unlocked when it reaches a certain level.  Swarm - The same as Ledyba, this skill increases the bug's power to 1.5 times when HP is below 1/3. Illuminate - Raises the likelihood of meeting wild Pokémon. Prankster - Speed priority of category “Status moves” is increased by 1. This is a  bug-type Pokémon known for its speed. This Pokémon has Oblivious, Tinted Lens, and Prankster ability, with one hidden ability. This Pokémon is classified as Firefly.  Oblivious - The Pokémon cannot be under Attract condition or be taunted while having this ability. Tinted Lens - The power of “Not very effective” moves is doubled. Prankster - Just like Volbeat, Prankster causes the speed priority of category “Status moves” increase by 1. Burmy is classified as a bagworm; this Pokémon can be found in green berry trees and possesses two abilities (Shed Skin and Overcoat) and one hidden ability (available through transfer).

Left to your own devices your home might be messy again in no time. So, set a cleaning schedule to help keep you on track. The schedule will also help you create a new habit of cleaning and tidying more frequently.  Choose days for vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom and taking out the trash. Make a mental note of how many dishes you should allow to pile up in the sink before you wash them. Or, don't let them pile up at all. Wash them after every meal. Since you've taken the time to find everything a home, establish a routine of putting items back where they belong. Making a habit of putting items back when you're done with them means you'll be less likely to allow items to pile up. Your home will stay cleaner longer. If you live with people and you have moved some items around, make sure you tell them where everything belongs, so they can put them back too. If you live with other people, give everyone weekly or nightly chores. When maintaining the house is everyone's responsibility, the house is easier to keep clean and tidy. More people cleaning consistently equates to a cleaner home. There's power in numbers.  Task someone with doing the dishes every night or take turns. Decide who is going to vacuum each week and clean the bathrooms. If you live alone, then you get the lucky task of doing everything alone. Before you go to bed, do a quick clean-up. Put dirty dishes in the sink. Pick up anything laying on the floor. Make it look nice enough so that when you wake up in the morning, the look of your home is a benefit, not a stressor. If you're really busy, hire a maid to come weekly or monthly to help you out. With busy schedules, everyone doesn't have the time to clean all the time, and there's nothing wrong with employing help. Simply do your research to ensure you find the right person to clean your home.

Leftover foodstuffs can cover up stains, shielding them from your cleaning efforts. Rinse and dry the dishes before continuing. To remove deep stains from your dishes, you'll need to introduce a solvent to dissolve the stain so that it can be washed away.  Baking soda is a popular and convenient option and is significantly less caustic than industrial solvents. Start with a tablespoon of baking soda, and add just enough water or white vinegar to make a sticky paste. Using a clean dish rag or scouring pad, scrub the stains vigorously with the solvent paste, then rinse. Lemon juice is another common household product which can function as a mild solvent, and is a good substitute for white vinegar. If a baking soda paste has proven ineffective, you may need to allow the solvents more time to deeply penetrate any stains. In enough hot water to completely submerge your dish, dissolve roughly 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda and 1 tbsp of white vinegar per cup of water, then allow the stained dishes to soak in the solution for 1-2 hours. If the stains have faded somewhat, but not completely, you may repeat the baking soda and vinegar soak. If the soak has not been effective at removing the stains, you'll need to consider more heavy-duty solvent options. If common household solvents have proven ineffective, you may need a more potent solvent to remove the stains on your dishes. Many brands and varieties are available. Whenever working with chemicals, be sure to follow any instructions on the product's package closely. Work in a well-ventilated area, and avoid exposure to any caustic chemicals by wearing rubber gloves. Rinse your dishes thoroughly after applying the solvent to ensure that none of it remains on the dish. Not all commercially available heavy-duty dish cleaners are appropriate for all types of dish. Read the packaging carefully, and familiarize yourself with your options before purchasing. Chlorine bleach, or any product containing it, should not be used on ceramics or glazed china, as it may...

Leftover mint from the store or garden can be preserved for later use. To freeze your mint, place two washed mint leaves in each basin of an ice cube tray. Fill each with water. Freeze them until you’re ready to use the mint.  Once the mint cubes have frozen, remove them from the tray and place them in a plastic bag in the freezer. (Now you have your ice cube tray back!) When it’s time to use your mint, pull the ice cubes out of the freezer (as many as you need for how much mint you require) and place them in a bowl to thaw. When the ice has thawed, drain the water and pat the mint dry. Dried mint can be used to make teas, and can even be put into the reusable cups for single-serve coffee machines. Take the fresh sprigs of mint and loosely bundle a couple together with elastic bands. Hang them upside down somewhere warm and dry until the leaves are dry and brittle.  Mint contains more moisture than some other herbs, which means it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to dry, depending on the climate. The warmer and dryer the room you use for drying, the less time the process will take.  When the leaves are dry, place them in a bag or between sheets of wax paper and break them up. Store in a spice jar.

Legitimate perfumes typically have cellophane tightly wrapped around the boxes. See if the cellophane is loosely or poorly wrapped, to the point where it is moving around the box. Improperly wrapped cellophane is a telltale sign of counterfeit perfumes. You can often discern the authenticity of a perfume merely by inspecting the right parts of the box. Before opening your perfume, carefully examine the box for any signs of unprofessional packaging and design.  Examine the text on the back of the packaging. Check for grammatical errors, misspellings, poorly laid out information, etc. Real packaging for a real perfume should ideally be grammatically correct. Spelling or grammar mistakes can indicate the mark of a counterfeit.   Real packaging is made from high quality paperboard. Boxes made from thin, flimsy material are often counterfeit. Look for the barcode on the packaging. The barcode must be placed on the lowest back portion and not on the sides. Check to see if there is any excess glue or tape. Real perfume shouldn’t have any messy glue residue or extra tape inside or outside the container. Authentic perfume will have all of these numbers on the packaging, which can then be used to independently verify its authenticity. Consult the manufacturer to see whether the numbers match with their production numbering. Real perfumes have smooth bottle containers while imitation bottles are often a bit rough and are usually poorly made, sometimes constructed with plastic. Quality perfume bottles have tight fitting caps that are spill-proof. Be aware that designer perfume labels treat the bottle as part of the perfume experience, so the bottle should be of a superior quality

Legs that are moisturized will automatically have a nice glow. When your skin is hydrated, it looks younger and much more vibrant. Put on a fresh layer of lotion to give your legs a gorgeous, subtle shine. There are tons of moisturizing lotions that can be purchased at beauty and convenience stores, and you can also use natural products like coconut oil or shea butter to moisturize your skin.  Always apply lotion after you take a shower. This will help lock moisture into your skin, and prevent it from looking dull. Always apply lotion after you shave or wax your legs. Shaving and waxing can be harsh on your skin, so be sure to moisturize afterwards. If you're wearing shorts or a dress, carry a small lotion with you to re-apply throughout the day. Give your legs a rub down with lotion every few hours to keep your legs looking bright. Exfoliation is the key to smooth and shiny legs, as it removes all of your dead skin cells. Dead skin cells cause our skin to look dull and dry. Exfoliating will eliminate that top layer of dull skin, revealing a new layer of bright, moisturized skin. Use a body scrub to exfoliate your legs 2-3 times per week.  Body scrubs can be purchased at most convenience and beauty supply stores, or you can make your own at home. To make your own body scrub, you'll need sugar or salt and some type of oil (olive oil, coconut oil, etc.). Your sugar or salt will be your exfoliant, and your oil will be the moisturizer. Mix your ingredients together, your scrub should be thick. You can keep your body scrub in a tupperware container in the shower. Consider adding an essential oil (like rosemary or peppermint) to your body scrub to give it a relaxing scent. If you want your legs to really shine, apply a small amount of oil to your legs. There are tons of oils that can turn any pair of legs into shiny show-stoppers, including coconut oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil. With oil, a little bit goes a long way.

Lemon has been used for a long time to rid jewelry of the oxide layer that forms on metals with the passage of time. You might want to add a little baking soda to the lemon.  Lemon is a natural acid and rubbing a half cut lemon on jewelry can hasten the process of cleaning. You can put the silver jewelry in a cup of lemonade with some salt for a night. Lemon works especially well on silver.  You could juice a lemon in a small plate, and then rub this juice over the jewelry that you intend to clean, and then use a rough cloth (or scotch bright) to rub vigorously against the jewelry. Soak the jewelry in the solution, and then use soft toothbrush to get into corners and holes.  Cleaning fake jewelry in vinegar can leave the chains shiny. The soft bristle toothbrush can help if the jewelry contains gems by getting in cracks. You can simply apply the vinegar to a sponge, and use it to clean the jewelry. Another natural product that can be used to clean jewelry is olive oil. Olive oil will make it shine, but make sure to wash it off.  You could also use a dental tablet and dissolve it in water.

Lemon juice is a natural skin toner and brightener. Keep in mind that lemon juice will make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Do not go out into the sun after using the scrub; it is best to use this at night. While bad for your health, sugar is great for your skin. It will help exfoliate away dead skin cells and reveal the soft, supple skin underneath. This will soften your skin, and make the simple scrub more effective. If you'd like, you can even start your usual bathing or showering routine. Start from the top of your leg, and work your way gradually toward the bottom. If you'd like, you can wash your legs with some soap and water to get rid of any sticky residue. You can also shave your legs at this point. Many people find that shaving just after exfoliating leaves their skin silky-smooth. While great at toning and exfoliating, this mixture can be a little drying, so make sure that you apply some moisturizer after you get out of the shower. If you tend to have very dry skin, consider applying the moisturizer while your skin is still damp; this will help seal in the moisture better.

Lemon juice is acidic and contains vitamin C. This kind of juice has been used traditionally to lighten areas of skin.  Squeeze the juice from a fresh-cut lemon into a bowl. Wet a cotton ball with the juice and apply it directly to your tanned skin. Leave the juice on your skin for 10 to 20 minutes. Rinse off the lemon juice with warm water when done. Repeat daily to keep fading the tan.  You can also rub fresh slices of lemon along your skin to get the juice on it if you prefer. Even though the bleaching effect becomes stronger in the sun, it is advisable to stay out of the sun while the lemon juice is on your skin. There is no way to predict how much of a bleaching effect the sun might have. Plus, you don't want to exposure your skin to more sun than necessary, especially without sunscreen. Similar to lemons, tomato juice is also slightly acidic and it contains high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants may react with skin pigments and lighten the suntan. Take a tomato and cut it, releasing all the juices on the inside into a bowl. Take a cotton ball and apply it directly to your suntanned skin. Leave the juice on your skin for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. You can repeat this daily. You can apply slices of tomato directly to your skin if you wish. You can also look for 100% tomato juice in a can from the grocery store and try it. Vitamin E may be useful for fading a suntan because of its antioxidant activity.  You can get Vitamin E naturally through foods, take it as a supplement, and use it as an oil. To get it through food, eat more foods with vitamin E, such as oatmeal, almonds, peanut butter, avocados, and leafy green vegetables. Vitamin E oil can be applied directly to the skin to increase hydration in your skin and help heal the UV damage to your skin that causes suntan. Daily doses of vitamin E supplements should be taken according to manufacturer's instructions. Apricots and papayas contain natural enzymes that may lighten a suntan in some individuals.  Cut slices from...

Lemon juice is full of citric acids, which have a bleaching effect when they are repeatedly applied to hair.  You will most likely need to repeat this process several times to see a significant change in your hair color. If you have several hours to mix lemon juice into your hair and sit out in the sun, consider the methods listed in this article: Use Lemon Juice to Lighten Hair. If you are looking for a quicker solution, read on. You will need about one cup of concentrated juice.  You may also use limes, grapefruit, or any other fruit that contains a high concentration of citric acid.  To make your own: Buy or pick four lemons. Slice the lemons in half. Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl, or use a juicing device. Lemon juice is very acidic. Consider mixing 1/4 cup of water into every cup of lemon juice to avoid damaging your hair. If you use shampoo, make sure that it is thoroughly lathered into your hair. Make sure to mix it deeply into the roots. Be sure to shut your eyes tightly to keep out the lemon juice. The citric acid will burn if it makes contact with your eyes. It is important that you give the citric acid time to leach into your hair, but you do not want to leave the mixture in for too long--prolonged exposure to citric acid can damage your hair. The citric acid in lemon juice tends to have a drying effect on hair, and you do not want to risk damaging your locks. Again, you will most likely need to do this several times before you notice a significant difference.

Lemon juice is incredibly acidic, leeching out natural oils and disrupting your skin's natural pH. Not only this, but people with sensitive skin will have a much worse time dealing with too much lemon juice. Remember, a little goes a long way. Just because a little is good doesn't mean a lot is better! If your acne is bad and you've got open sores or lesions, lemon juice probably isn't what you want. While it may fight the acne, it probably hurts the surrounding skin, leaving it worse off. You can try using lemon juice on active acne that isn't opened or hasn't been popped. Discontinue if your skin develops redness, irritation, or breaks out. Lemon juice will make your skin particularly susceptible to sun damage.  This is why many people choose to use lemon juice at night instead of the morning, and then wash the lemon juice off when they wake up. If you do choose to use lemon juice on your skin during the day, take care to protect your skin from sunlight: Wear sunscreen, don a hat, etc. If you want to try lemon juice on your skin to heal acne and acne scars, be careful about using other skin-care products in combination with lemon juice. It might be helpful to use lemon juice on your skin on those days when you're not using benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, etc. for your skin-care routine.

Lemon scent is strong enough to mask and remove odor and the grease-fighting ingredients found in dish detergent can strip away unwanted scents. If you want mothball odor out of your hands, use a lemon-scented dish detergent to wash your hands thoroughly after handling mothballs. For very strong mothball smells, sprinkle baby powder on your hands after washing them and rub it into your skin. This helps further remove mothball odor. Rub a non-gel toothpaste into your hands and wash your hands with it the same way you use hand soap. About a dime-sized amount of toothpaste should sufficiently strip away unwanted smells from mothballs. Baking soda is excellent at absorbing and removing unwanted odors. To remove mothball smell with baking soda, mix baking soda and water together in a bowl until you have a fine paste. Then, rub the paste into your hands. Let it sit on for three minutes before rinsing it off. Tomato juice can effectively remove unwanted smells and odors. To use tomato juice, fill a bowl with tomato juice. Soak your hands in the tomato juice for five minutes before rinsing them off. If this method works for you, this should significantly reduce the smell of mothballs in your hands. Citrus scents can strip away unwanted odors from your hands. Peel an orange and then rub the rinds into your hands. This should help reduce the smell of mothballs on your hands.

Lemons contain aromatic substances that have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties. Applying lemon juice to the skin before bedtime may reduce itching and help you sleep.  Squeeze undiluted lemon juice on the itchy skin and allow to dry before bedtime. However, lemon juice may cause stinging and burning of any open areas of the skin, so use caution when trying lemon juice to irritated skin. Combining the anti-inflammatory, volatile substances from juniper berries with eugenol (which numbs nerve endings) from clove can help reduce nightly itching.  Make a mixture by melting three ounces of unsalted butter and two tablespoons of beeswax in separate pans. When the beeswax has melted, mix in with the butter. Add five tablespoons ground juniper berries and three teaspoons ground cloves to the mixture and stir. Allow to cool and apply to the affected area before bedtime. The substances in these herbs have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe itchy skin. Make a tea from mint, basil, or thyme by placing dried leaves or tea bag in boiling water. Cover to keep the aromatic substances from escaping, allow to cool and strain. Dip a clean cloth into the tea and apply to affected areas before bedtime. Aloe vera is a common remedy for burns, but the same substances that reduce blistering and inflammation may also help reduce itching. Apply aloe vera gel over the affected area before bedtime. These contain essential fatty acids that may help keep you skin hydrated. If your itching is a result of dry skin, regular fish oil supplementation may be beneficial.

Lemons have a natural calming effect which can relieve nausea and leave you feeling clean and refreshed. Try nibbling on a fresh slice of lemon, squeezing some lemon juice into hot or cold water before drinking or simply sniffing on a freshly cut lemon for some citrus-y relief. You may also find it helpful to keep a stash of lemon candies nearby at all times.  You may also find lemon-scented candles or lemon essential oils good options for surrounding yourself in a fresh, lemon scent. Other citrus fruits, such as grapefruit, orange and tangerine may also help. Ginger has been used to relieve nausea for centuries. Try drinking ginger ale (made with real ginger) or make ginger tea by adding a thin slice of fresh ginger into hot water. If that doesn't float your boat, snack on some ginger cookies or gingerbread, or grab a handful of crystallized ginger candy. Peppermint relieves feelings of nausea and reduces the stomach's gag reflex. Make a peppermint tea by adding a few fresh leaves to some boiling water and leaving to infuse for a few minutes before drinking. You can also try sucking on some peppermint candies. Brew yourself a cup of red raspberry-leaf tea. This herb is popular for a number of pregnancy problems, including morning sickness, and has been shown to relax the smooth muscles of the uterus. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dried herb to a cup of hot water before drinking. However, you should check with your doctor before taking this remedy as there is some evidence that raspberry leaf can cause uterine contractions. Battle unpleasant odors by arming yourself with a small satchel stuffed with dried herbs. Lavender and thyme are particularly appealing since both have soothing and therapeutic scents. Keep the satchel near the nose and breathe in deeply when odors turn your stomach sour. A number of physicians recommend taking a supplement of this vitamin -- the usual dose is 10 to 25 milligrams three times a day -- to combat the nausea of morning sickness. Talk to your doctor before trying a supplement,...

Lenders will collect interest for the current month at the closing, so set your closing date for as late in the month as possible to ensure that this amount is low.

Lending money to friends can really put a friendship at risk. If your friend takes too long in paying the money back, you may hesitate to ask for it and the person might start believing the loan was a gift. If you do not think your friendship (or pocketbook) can withstand an unpaid loan, break the news as gently as possible to your friend. Remember to be as honest as you can. For example, you could say to your friend, "I know you are in a tight spot financially. I really value our friendship, but friends and loans just do not get along. Is there some other way I can help out?” Or, “I just don’t have the extra cash myself to lend. If I could give you the money, I would.” If you know you won't be supporting a donation request, express the importance of the request, turn it down, and give an alternative, if you can. For example, "It sounds like you're working on a great cause, but I just can't work it in right now. I've already pledged my monthly donation funds. You might try x business or ask me again next month." Don't feel obligated to donate to every request. Chances are, you're focusing on your time, business, or finances. Say yes to projects that you really can or want to commit to. Most kids don't like just being told not to do something. If your child wants something that you're not going to give or allow, firmly say no and explain why you're not allowing it. Make sure to express their point of view and then suggest something that they can have or can do. For example, you might say, "No, you can't spend the night at your friend's house during the school week. I don't want you to be too tired for class the next day. I know you're frustrated, but you can always spend the night over the weekend." Never feel obligated when someone asks you for a huge favor. After all, the person probably has no idea what your work or stress load is currently like. You have the choice to say no, even to a personal favor. If the person is a good enough friend, she should understand and not press you. For example, you might...

Lenses come with a number of added features, such as scratch-resistant coatings and color-changing features meant to offer ultraviolet protection. While many of these features do effectively provide what they offer, they are also largely unnecessary. If you have a tight budget, skip the extras and stick with a basic prescription lens.  If you purchase your eyeglasses from a department store or popular eyeglasses chain store, you may be able to find coupons in magazines or online. Many carriers cover a portion of the cost for eyeglasses if you buy them at specific places. Depending on your coverage, you could have more or less choice available to you.

Leos are often driven by passion and a zest for life. Don't grow complacent in your relationship, and don't stop making romantic gestures.  Consider giving your Leo flowers, a favorite food item, or a handwritten note to show that you are thinking of them. It's important to show that you care, and frequent romantic gestures will help keep the Leo's "attention tank" full. Be spontaneous, and keep trying new things with your Leo. You may be more likely to keep him or her if you can keep the relationship exciting. Grow together. Keep the relationship going by making it a constant process of improvement. If you become complacent, your Leo may get bored and begin to dream of new horizons. Leos like to be the center of attention, although they may be happy to let you stand in the spotlight with them. Make sure that your Leo knows that you are listening to what he or she says.  Consider putting away the cell phone or closing your laptop screen when you're talking with your Leo. If you are present, engaged, and listening to what she has to say, you will demonstrate that there is worth to her words. Offer feedback. Leos may like to lead, but they also like to play and interact with their partners. If you can keep up with your Leo, you will be more likely to earn her respect. Leos can be very attractive, sociable people, and they will often divide their attention into many different projects. If you want to keep your Leo, you will need to be secure enough in your relationship to let him or her explore. Be empathetic, but do not let anyone take advantage of you. It is one thing to accept that your mate keeps a wide range of friends from both sexes, but it is another thing to overlook a cheating partner when you've agreed upon a monogamous relationship. Leos respond well to loyalty and honesty. Continually show your Leo that they are the object of your desire. Be clear about your intentions when it comes to friends and acquaintances. Leos may become jealous if they sense that another person is taking their attention...

Less friction equals less static electricity. Running your fingers through your hair will reduce the amount of friction on your hair, while using a brush can increase it. The more friction and static electricity, the more flyaway hairs. A couple things to note about using shampoo and conditioner to control flyaways:   You don't have to shampoo your hair every day. Shampooing every day is a recipe for dried-out hair. Unless you work in a greasy, sweaty, or dirty place — or your hair desperately needs to be cleaned every day — try to only wash it once every two or three days.   But when you do shampoo, choose an anti-frizz or moisturizing shampoo. Anti-frizz and moisturizing shampoos are packed with moisturizing agents like aloe vera, essentially providing extra safeguards against dryness. When shampooing, focus most of your energy on cleaning your scalp, not drying out your ends. Choose a shampoo that is made for your hair type. For example, if you have curly hair, choose a shampoo that is labeled as curly.  Every time you shampoo, condition. Conditioning your hair helps keep it from drying out and breaking into flyaways and split ends. When you condition, focus mainly on your ends. If you use many styling products in your hair, the build-up over time can cause flyaways. To combat this, use a clarifying shampoo at least once a month. Be sure to condition your hair afterwards. Look for products that have the words "quat" or "amine" in them, as they do a better job of conducting electricity than silicone- or alcohol-based products. Products that conduct electricity better mean fewer flyaways. Hair with too much breakage can cause flyaways as well. It is easier to prevent hair breakage than treat it. Handle your hair gently. Some ways you can prevent hair breakage include:  Using silk pillow cases Putting heat tools such as hairdryers and curling irons on low settings Reducing chemical treatments Choosing cloth elastic bands Remember that taming flyaways is all about keeping moisture locked in your hair. If you...

Let a little time go by before you apologize. This will allow both of you to cool off some while giving you time to think about how to make the best apology that you can. Try to get a sense of whether the other person is upset still. Although you will probably recognize it when you see it, expressions of anger may involve clenching of the face or fists, yelling, throwing objects, etc. One surefire way to seem insincere is if you do not take the time to apologize face-to-face after your dispute. In addition, much of the information you convey about how you feel is done through your nonverbal communication channels (i.e., through your body). The only time it is acceptable to not apologize in person is if it would be a great inconvenience to either person to have to meet. For example, if who you wish to apologize to lives very far away, it is not practical to meet in person. There's a good chance that after a dispute, you will regret some of the things that you said or did. Be sure to say what each of this is; don't leave anything out. Be sure to include how your actions impacted the person you are apologizing to so this person knows that you know how he felt. If you want to make sure you don't leave anything out, it can be helpful to write down on paper what you regret so that you can study it before you make your apology and/or refer to it in the moment. After a dispute, it is important to state your regrets sincerely. You can express sincerity with your body language. As you state your regrets, make steady eye contact with whomever you were disputing with. In addition, try to maintain a relaxed body posture, while leaning slightly towards this person.  Above all though, make sure your words are sincere. You can do this by only saying what you mean.
