While the thinset adhesive is still slightly wet, pull the spacers out from between the tiles. This should be about 1.5 hours after you applied the adhesive and added the spacers. Make sure you collect all of the spacers before you start the next phase of tiling.  If you leave the spacers in the adhesive for too long, they can become stuck. Adhesive dries and sets quickly compared to grout, so you may only need to wait about an hour, depending on the brand of adhesive you used. If your tiles came with spacers on them, you should still be able to pull them out of the adhesive. However, some of the spacers are permanent and meant to be left on the wall and covered with grout. Check the packaging for the tile to see if you can remove them. Grout fills in the space between each tile, protecting and securing them onto the wall. Choose a grout that matches your tile and color scheme, and mix it according to the package directions. About 15 minutes after you remove the spacers, use a grout float to spread it over one section of the wall before moving on to the next section.  The grout will cover up the tiles completely, but don't worry. You'll wipe away the grout from the surface of the tiles once it begins to dry. It's especially important to work in sections if you're grouting a larger wall. This will prevent the grout from drying too much before you get the chance to wipe it off. Set a timer after you finish the first section, and set another after you finish the second section. Once the timer goes off, dip a sponge in water and wring it out, then wipe it over the first section to remove most of the grout from the tiles. After you finish the first section, wait for the second timer to go off so you can wipe the grout off of that section as well. Try to work with only 2-3 sections at a time to prevent yourself from getting confused. Let the grout dry further after you wipe it off of the tiles. Then, take a dry sponge and rub it over the tile surface to ensure that each tile is clean and doesn't have any grout...

While the two of you are watching a movie or sitting at a table and working, run your fingers through her hair. The light head touching/hair messing-with will put her into a near meditative state and she will feel romantically closer to you. Gently holding her face when you kiss her will take your everyday kiss and turn it into a romantic moment for the two of you. Do this as your good-bye kiss in the morning or when she walks in the door from work. A public display of affection (PDA) can be something as regular as a hand hold or as extravagant as a kiss timed to fireworks. Cuddle up with her unexpectedly and let her melt into you. Get some oil and offer her a back massage to help her relax from a stressful day. Even if you’re not able to give her the best massage she’s ever had, she will love that you’re trying to help her out.

While the vehicle is still on the ground, look underneath the car, on the bottom of the steering knuckle attached to the wheel. The most common indicator is a grease fitting that doubles as a wear indicator. That fitting, or boss, will stick out of the bottom of the joint’s housing by about half an inch (1.25 centimeters). As it wears the boss will recede into the housing. As long as the boss protrudes out, the joint should be fine. Once the boss is flush with the housing or has receded even further, you’ll need to replace the ball joint. This applies to older cars. Most new cars do not have wear indicators, or a grease fitting. If you can’t find a wear indicator, or if the indicator doesn’t give you a clear enough sign, raise up the car to inspect the joint more thoroughly. To check a loaded lower ball joint, the manufacturer will recommend that you place a jack under the lower control arm of the front wheel, as close to the ball joint as you can, then raise the vehicle until the wheel leaves the ground. If you don't do this, tension will still be on the ball joint when you jack up the car, making it difficult to move and look for play on the joint. Make sure there is no compression in the suspension when you check the ball joint. If you have control arms of unequal lengths, make sure the upper bump stop doesn’t touch the control arm. Make sure your car is jacked securely. The vehicle must be on frame stands when jacked up and you are working on the vehicle. Move dial indicator to the side of the nut or to the side of the spindle and move the wheel in and out to check radial wear.  For vertical play, place the dial indicator against the steering knuckle stud nut or the ball joint housing, depending on the manufacturer. Grab the wheel at the top and bottom (12 and 6 o’clock) to lift up and pull down. Move the dial gauge to the side of the nut and grab the tire at the bottom and move it in and out to check radial play of the joint. Read the dial indicator and check against the manufacturer’s specifications. If...

While the very notion of remaining calm during an animal attack may seem preposterous, doing so may be the only thing that saves your life.  If the crocodilian merely bites you at first and lets go, this is probably a defensive attack. Don't wait or try to attack it, just run away as quickly as you can. If the animal seizes hold of you, however, it will likely try to drag you into the water. In this case, you will need to attack it until it lets go. The eyes of the crocodilian are its most vulnerable part, and several croc-attack survivors have reported eye-gouging as their salvation. Attempt to gouge, kick, or poke the animal in the eye with your hands or whatever you can grab. Don't give up until you are free, you are literally fighting for your life. If you land as many blows as possible on the animal's head, you stand a higher chance that it will let go.  Bystanders observing a crocodilian attack can assist by striking at the animal with sticks, poles, oars, etc., and by kicking and even punching the animal, especially in the head. Crocodilians have a flap of tissue behind the tongue that covers their throats when they submerge in water. This flap prevents water from flowing into their throats and prevents the crocodile from drowning when its mouth is open. If the animal has dragged you under the water, grabbing hold of this valve may be your only choice.  Once you get hold of the valve, it will cause water to flow into the crocodile's throat, forcing it to release you. Hard strikes to this valve may also cause the animal to release you. Not only do crocodilian attacks tend to cause a lot of tissue damage and blood loss, they can also quickly lead to infection.  These animals harbor a massive amount of bacteria in their mouths, and even a minor bite from a small alligator or caiman can quickly lead to infection if not treated right away.

While there are a lot of crafting ideas and instructions around, finding the right one can be a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.  Look online, in books, and magazines. Ask friends if they have instructions for designs. Make sure your friends are at roughly the same skill level as you are.  Double-check on whether your friends are using their design- you don't want to look like a copy cat. Make a shortlist of about five different designs that you like. When picking the card that you'd like to make for your teacher, think about different aspects, not just the final product:  Think about what your card should express: does the design capture it? Do you want a funny, a sentimental or a happy card? Look at the difficulty level- is it something you can do by yourself? Be honest with yourself and ask for help if it looks too hard. After you've picked your card, it's time to get to the next step in the planning phase.  Read the instructions carefully, and if possible, compare with pictures or videos. See if there are tips and helpful hints in the instructions that you can use. Write the list noting how much of what material you need. Once you have a list together, assemble your materials- see what you have and get the materials you still need.  Take stock of what you already have- sometimes you can use old items you don't need anymore. For example, you could use old crayola stumps to form your teacher's initials on the card.  Go to an arts and crafts store to buy what you need - often the sales people have great ideas and can help, too! This can be a bit of a tedious step, but in order to get the design and the card right, be extra diligent when it comes to following the instructions.  Read every step carefully to make sure you know what to do. Take notes after you've completed your step- this can help you in the future. Ask someone for help if you are unsure of how you should do something. This is one of the most important parts of the card- it verbalizes your appreciation, and underlines the visual message...

While there are adjustments you’ll need to make to ensure the bread dough rises properly after freezing, you can use any bread dough recipe you choose as the base for your frozen dough. Therefore, first follow the instructions for your favorite recipe to make the dough, making adjustments to the flour and yeast content as desired to get the results you want. You may be able to successfully freeze the dough without making any adjustments to the recipe. The only way to really know, however, is to try it out. If the dough doesn’t rise and bake properly after freezing, however, you’ll likely need to make some adjustments to the flour and yeast to get the taste and texture you want. When freezing bread dough, the cold can cause the gluten in the bread to weaken, which can result in dense, flat bread. To avoid this, use flour with a higher protein content, such as whole wheat, durum or rye. The high protein content will prevent the dough from losing too much of the gas produced during fermentation (rising). Many bread recipes call for lower protein content flours, such as all-purpose white flour or bread flour. In most cases, you can substitute the flour in the recipe for a higher protein flour without making any changes to the flour measurement. Freezing your bread dough may damage some of the yeast, which can prevent the dough from rising a second time after it thaws. To make sure that the dough is able to rise after being frozen, you can either double the amount of yeast called for in your favorite recipe, or use a slow rising yeast instead of the quick-rising yeast called for in many recipes. If you use a slow rise yeast instead of quick-rising yeast, use the same amount called for in the recipe. Set the dough out in a lightly greased bowl or on parchment paper at room temperature for about 45 minutes to allow the dough time to rise (also referred to as fermenting or proofing). This will allow you to shape the dough into a loaf or rolls, and will save you time when you thaw the bread. Some bread recipes call...

While there are alternate methods to help you change in front of others, you may be most comfortable if you can avoid it altogether. Most locker rooms have private bathroom stalls or some may even have curtained-off shower stalls where you can change.  You may find that if you do this, others will follow suit. You're surely not the only one who would rather have a bit of privacy. It's also possible, though, that if everyone else changes out in the open, and if you're the only one who changes in private, you may draw unwanted attention to yourself, which could expose you to additional teasing.  You may also be pantsed in the locker room because others may not like that you can change privately while they and everyone else are in their underwear. While you should keep this in mind, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable, so choose the method that works best for you. If your school does not have a specific uniform that can only be worn in gym class, then you may be able to dress for gym at home on the days that you'll have P.E. class.  For example, thick leggings are very popular right now for girls, paired with long T-shirts. You can wear your leggings to school with tall boots, and layer a couple of cute T-shirts over it. Once you go to gym, you'll only need to change into your athletic shoes and remove your top t-shirt. Guys and girls alike can usually get away with wearing long athletic shorts or pants to regular classes, paired with a T-shirt or sweatshirt. If your school does have a specific uniform, or if you have to wear shorts and a T-shirt even in the winter, for example, you may be able to wear your gym clothes under your street clothes.  For example, if your school's gym outfit is a white T-shirt with black shorts, you can wear tighter-fitting black shorts under your skirt or pants, and a plain white t-shirt with a sweater, cardigan, button-down, etc. over it. You can wear a tank top under your shirt so when you take off your shirt your tank top is still on. When you change back into...

While there are many complicated feelings associated with falling in love with someone, it is usually a very passive and emotional experience. But staying in love can be incredibly difficult and requires a more active and involved approach to the relationship.  Think of “love” as a verb, or an action you have to continue to reinforce and support as you move forward in your relationship. Consider how your girlfriend actively contributes and cultivates her relationship with you, and if your relationship is just as good, if not better, than when you first fell in love. Through action and words, your girlfriend can reinforce and commit to the relationship every day, even in small or seemingly insignificant ways. Most couples with poor conflict resolution skills engage in Fight, Flight, or Freeze behaviors. So, they fight and stay mad, sometimes holding grudges or resentment for months or years. They take flight and avoid uncomfortable or difficult issues by sweeping them under the rug. Or, they freeze up emotionally and shut down, blocking out any attempts at communicating or discussing the issue.  Successful couples who are committed to the relationship for the long term will try to work on solving any problems and letting them go. They will focus on taking care of the issue, rather than attacking each other or freezing each other out. In a healthy, loving relationship, both partners should be able to forgive and forget, as any lingering resentment that is not addressed and dealt with can lead to further drama or conflict down the line and will work against sustaining the relationship for the long term. This is an important step to committing on a practical level to being with your girlfriend and will be an important step for her commitment to you. Opposites may attract, but they rarely make for a good long-term relationship, and compatibility in your tastes and preferences, as well as your values, priorities, and life goals, will help to create a deep and lasting connection between you and your girlfriend....

While there are many different kinds of levonorgestrel pills available, there is only one pill that contains ulipristal acetate. It goes by the brand name ella, and you will need a prescription from a doctor to get it.  While ella is not as easy to get as over-the-counter emergency contraceptives, it does have some benefits over the other type of pill. It is the most effective morning after pill available, and it can be taken up to 120 hours after unprotected sex, while levonorgestrel pills can only be taken up to 72 hours after. You can see any doctor for a prescription for ella. If you do not want to go to your primary care physician or gynecologist, you can go to a walk-in clinic, an urgent care center, or a women's health clinic, such as Planned Parenthood. ella is a single-dose pill that can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex. It is no less effective if you take it on day five than if you take it on day one, but you should see your doctor and fill your prescription as soon as possible, just in case your pharmacy doesn't have it in stock. Just like levonorgestrel pills, ella is a small pill that should be taken with water. While ella is the most effective morning after pill available, it is not right for everyone. You should not take it if you have used other forms of hormonal birth control within the last five days, including birth control pills, patches, or rings, as it will not be as effective. It is also not as effective for women who have a BMI over 35.  If you have taken hormonal birth control in the last five days, you can still take levonorgestrel pills. If your BMI is between 25 and 35, ella is a better choice than levonorgestrel pills. You should also avoid using ella if you are breast feeding, unless you are able to pump and dispose of your breast milk for several days. After taking ella, it is important that you use a backup birth control method, such as a condom, for at least 14 days. If you are taking are taking a hormonal contraception, you can not restart their contraception...

While there are no hard rules regarding how to structure your letters, many people choose to employ a three-part format.  A well-written letter will have a greeting, a body paragraph (or paragraphs), and a closing. For example:  Start your greeting or salutation at the top of the page with the words, “Dear [pen pal’s name].” Next, develop the body of the letter. This is where you'll communicate at length with your pen pal. It can be 2 to 5 paragraphs. Finish with a closing. It usually consists of a final paragraph and a signatory phrase like “Sincerely,” followed by your signature. Introduce yourself in your first letter with the basics, like your hobbies and interests. Don’t reveal everything at once; you'll have plenty of time to share things as you grow closer. If you reveal too much at first, you won't have much to write about later.   Be specific. Don’t say that you like "film, crafts, and exercise." Instead, say that you enjoy "Marvel movies, knitting and needlework, and riding your bike." As you get to know your pen pal better, you 'll get a sense for their interests and sense of humor. You'll also feel more comfortable expressing yourself. If writing to a pen pal in prison, do not include self-incriminating information.  Prison mail is screened carefully and you might get in trouble when prison staff discovers your secrets. If you are an undocumented immigrant, do not include this fact in your letters -- you never know who your pen pal is sharing their correspondence with.  Information about your income or wages should also remain confidential.  Do not share too much too soon, especially information that might give away your identity, like your full name and looks. If you don't feel comfortable with a stranger knowing your address, rent a PO box. Show an interest in your pen pal’s life.  Ask questions about your pen pal’s work, hobbies, and family.  Invite your pen pal to share their feelings on a variety of common interests.  Develop a genuine curiosity about your pen pal and don’t be shy when...

While there can be benefits to appearing authoritative in excess of your actual authority, the focus in this article is on enhancing the appearance to match the reality of your authority.  To do so, especially in a business setting, it is important that you are clear on exactly what authority you do possess.  If your powers and responsibilities have not been clearly defined, discuss the particulars of your authority with your boss.  Having things specifically laid out for you may make it easier for you to accept and represent this authority. Another benefit of conferring regularly with your boss is making sure that you are on the same page.  Making a decision, only to be quickly contradicted or overruled by your supervisor, tends to diminish your appearance of authority. While Machiavelli's advice that it is better to be feared than loved may be a bit extreme for a workplace setting, it is true that strong leaders tend not to worry too much about the popularity of their decisions.  Having authority is not easy or fun; it is often hard work, but work that needs to be done — by you.  Nobody wants to be hated, of course, but you’ll probably find that being direct, making the tough decisions, and doing what must be done will earn the respect of others.  If you focus too much on trying to please everyone, you’re likely to sacrifice respect for the sake of some superficial likeability.  Deep down, most people would probably rather follow someone they respect than someone they like. Some of the things you do to demonstrate your authority may actually be making you appear weaker.  If you seem to be trying too hard to “show who’s boss,” you’re more likely to be mocked than respected.  Unless you’re a drill sergeant, getting angry and shouting are not usually the best ways to demonstrate your authority.  Likewise, appearing defensive when questioned or challenged tends to indicate weakness, not strength.  Some people think being authoritative means making snap decisions and sticking with them no matter what.  In...

While there is a lot of calibrating that goes into high end speakers, the basic technology is actually pretty simple. An electrical current is run through a wire that is attached to a magnet. This current makes the magnet vibrate, and those vibrations are picked up by our ears as sound. To hear the sound well you should also get a small plastic tupperware or cup. This will amplify the sound much like yelling into a cone amplifies your voice. You want to wrap the wire 6-7 times starting from the middle. Make sure you leave several feet of wire unwrapped on either side of the magnet. Tape this coil onto the bottom of your tupperware, but without the magnet. Using both ends of the leftover copper wire, make an even large coil and tape this on top of the smaller one. Like before, you will leave roughly a foot of leftover wire on each side of the coil -- this is how you will attach your "speaker" to your music source. You want it to sit comfortable within both coils, but don't worry too much about touching every inch of wire. The most common attachment is an 1/8th inch cable or "Auxiliary" cord (the input on most headphones). Wrap one end of the wire around the top of the metal input and the other around the bottom. Gator clips, which are small clamps that transmit electricity, can make attaching your copper wire to a music source easier. Try using a stronger magnet, keeping your coils tighter, using different "amplifiers," and playing different music sources at different volumes.

While there is a star near the South Celestial Pole, Sigma Octantis, it’s too dim to do you much good for finding south. Instead, look for the bright constellation Crux, the Southern Cross, which consists of four stars that form the ends of the cross’ upright and crosspiece. The Southern Cross is so important a constellation that it is depicted on the flags of Australia and New Zealand.  However, it not particularly large.  (It is only one degree longer than the distance between the pointer stars in the Big Dipper.)  That's what makes the pointer stars (Rigel Kentaurus and Hadar) so important.  They keep you from locking in on the False Cross, which is nearby and just a little bigger. The point along this line, about four-and-a-half times the length of the long axis is directly above south.  (optionally) Improve your accuracy by finding the two "pointers" to the southern cross and drawing a line through them. Then take a line perpendicular from the middle of that and extend it to intersect with the line drawn from the Southern Cross. Where they intersect is directly above south. Drawing a line through the two stars of the crosspiece will point you to the star Alpha Centauri, the closest star to Earth after the sun.

While there is no direct evidence that carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by using your keyboard and mouse, those objects will certainly cause your wrist to become more painful if you already have carpal tunnel syndrome.  Therefore, if you do work on a keyboard or mouse, or you work with other type of equipment that affects your wrist, take frequent breaks.  Taking regular breaks can be used in conjunction with many other treatment options. While taking a break consider rotating your wrists and stretching your palms and finger to help keep the area flexible and loose. When typing on a keyboard try to keep your wrists straight, and avoid bending your hands upwards from your wrist to type. Cold, in general, helps to reduce inflammation.  Putting a cold pack or ice pack on your wrist may help to relieve the pain of your carpal tunnel syndrome temporarily.  Put cold packs on for 10-15 minute periods, and avoid putting those items directly onto your skin.  Wrap the packs in a towel first. Alternatively, work to keep your hands warm as often as possible.  Working in a cold room can often cause more pain and stiffness to develop.  Consider wearing fingerless gloves while you work on a keyboard. Carpal tunnel syndrome can actually be made worse by how you sleep.  Most people sleep with their wrists flexed in some way, which will aggravate any wrist problems they have.  Wearing a splint while you sleep is one option to help relieve pressure on the median nerve while you’re asleep.  Splints are designed to hold your wrists in their proper and straight positions. Also try to avoid sleeping on your hands at night, as this added pressure may add to the pain in your wrists and hands. Yoga has actually been proven to reduce wrist pain and improve grip strength in people who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. Yoga poses that focus on strengthening, stretching and balancing the joints in your upper body are the most useful.

While there is no doubt that the best witty comebacks are original witty comebacks, you can get plenty of good ideas by studying some of history’s most famous wits and witticisms. Spend some time amassing a collection of effective comebacks. Eventually, as your skills develop, you’ll be better able to create comebacks “off the cuff.”  Have a look at the masters of quick-witted comebacks, such as Dorothy Parker, Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, Mae West, George Bernard Shaw, Groucho Marx, Oscar Wilde, Margaret Thatcher, and so forth.  Read the witty exchanges between such people as Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, or George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill. Even the exchanges between Han and Leia in Star Wars will do it. Here is a handy example from one of the best sources, Groucho Marx: "I've had a great evening, but this wasn't it." There are countless witty comebacks available for the avid internet surfer. Indeed, there are websites dedicated specifically to comebacks, providing example after example (some good, some not so good). Keep a list of your favorites and learn them by heart. At the very least, they may come in handy when all other words fail you! Here are just a few:  "Thank you for proving my point." "Light travels faster than sound; that's why you appeared bright until you spoke." Lean against something, close your eyes and wait a few seconds, then suddenly open your eyes and say "Oh! Sorry! Were you saying anything important just then? I must have dozed off". "You and I have so much in common at times, don't we?" Use this for an insult about your weight, appearance, intelligence, etc. "Pardon? Sorry I didn't quite catch that. Would you care to repeat it?" (An insult is never as effective the second time around.) "Takes one to know one." This one might seem “played out” by now, but it can still be used in a pinch when you're out of ideas. If someone is repeating the same insult over and over, use this: "Still clinging to the same idea? Try something more... original." Then do a little...

While there is no scientific consensus, some research indicates tea tree oil and other natural oils may kill head lice. You can buy tea tree oil at a local health shop or order it online. See if it works at treating head lice.  Some people are allergic to tea tree oil and will have a lot of skin redness or irritation if used. Talk to your doctor before trying tea tree oil. Or, you can apply a small amount to your arm for a few days to look for an allergic reaction. Be especially careful if using on a child. Before bed, sprinkle a few drops of tea tree oil on your scalp. Put a towel on your pillow and go to sleep, leaving the oil in overnight. In the morning, comb your hair to remove any dead lice or eggs. Then, wash and condition your hair. If possible, use shampoo and conditioner that contains tea tree oil. Look for a minimum concentration of 2% tea tree oil.  Repeat as necessary. The process may take a few tries before it works. Some research indicates some natural plant oils may be toxic to head lice. However, scientific research is limited and not conclusive. Lavender oil, anise oil, ylang ylang oil, and nerolidol all may work at removing head lice. You can order these oils online or can find them in some drug or health food stores. Use with caution, however, as essential oils are not required to meet FDA safety regulations. Keep in mind many essential oils need to be diluted in a carrier oil, like olive oil, before use. Read the label of any oils you purchase for instructions on safe use. As with tea tree oil, use these oils with caution, especially with children. Talk to your doctor before using essential oils to treat head lice. Many household products can supposedly kill head lice by depriving lice and eggs from air. This can smother lice and eggs but there is little clinical evidence of the effectiveness of these treatments. Olive oil, mayonnaise, petroleum jelly, and butter are all suggested smothering agents to treat head lice. You would apply one of these products to your hair, cover with a shower...

While there is no way to increase your lung size, there are many ways to increase the amount of air your lungs take in, and the efficiency with which they capture oxygen. In particular, a rigorous exercise routine can help to strengthen your lungs and maximize their capacity to hold air.   Do plenty of cardio. Incorporating some intense cardio workouts into your weekly routine can do wonders for your lungs. Running, skipping, aerobics and swimming are all great forms of cardiovascular exercise which get the blood pumping and the lungs working hard to supply the body with the oxygen it needs to keep going. Try doing exercising in intense 30 minute bursts, pushing your body to its limits, to achieve the best result.  Exercise in water. Exercising in water (swimming, water aerobics, underwater weight training) is also a form of cardio exercise, but the water provides an element of resistance which requires the body to work harder to complete each task. As a result, the lungs need to work harder to supply the body with oxygen, causing their air capacity to increase significantly over time.  Work-out at high elevation. At higher elevations, there is less oxygen in the air, meaning your lungs have to work harder to supply the body with oxygen. This is an excellent way to strengthen the lungs, but you must be careful not to train to hard, or you could potentially fall victim to altitude sickness. Any excess baggage reduces your body's efficiency in using oxygen, as there is increased body mass to which your blood must pump oxygen. As a result, many competitive breath holders will attempt to shed any extra pounds in the weeks coming up to a competition.  This weight loss should be achieved in a strictly healthy way - through exercise and balanced diet - as weakening your body through crash dieting will negatively impact your ability to hold your breath. The world record breath holder, Aleix Segura Vendrell, is reported to have lost weight for 4 months before attempting to beat the world record for holding breath...

While there is some disagreement about whether you should eat breakfast before or after biking, eating breakfast nevertheless plays an important role in weightloss.  Many people associate breakfast with cereal and bacon. However, if you want to lose weight, all of your meals should consist of lots of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and veggies are best, but frozen versions are often excellent. Use caution when buying canned fruits and veggies, which can contain added sodium and sugar.  For protein, choose lean meats, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. This might seem odd, but eating while on a longer ride can actually help keep you going on longer rides and can help you avoid overeating after rides.  Bars, bananas, and gels are good choices for eating while riding.  Plan on eating 200-250 calories per hour. The 30 to 60 minutes after your biking session constitute your body’s “recovery time.” Your body needs nutrients to help repair itself.  Carbohydrates alone help restore glycogen levels. But eating a combination of carbohydrates and protein together means you don’t have to eat as many carbs, which can be difficult after a grueling workout.  Eating protein also helps to rebuild the muscles that have broken down during your ride.  Prep your recovery food before you ride in case you’re too tired to put something together when you finish. Make sure you drink plenty of water before, during, and after biking. Soon after finishing your biking session, refill your water bottle and drink the entire thing. Beware energy drinks, which contain caffeine and other stimulants and can lead to dehydration.

While there's nothing wrong with subscribing to a few of your favorite periodicals, big stacks of magazines you don't read is a big waste of energy, ink, and most importantly, paper. Reduce or eliminate your newspaper and magazine subscriptions to the bare essentials and opt for digital versions of the magazines you read most often. Use online resources for reading as much as possible. Besides saving trees, you'll have less clutter and pay less. You also get the ability to search effortlessly and you can archive electronically if you need to save the information. . Catalogs, sales circulars, and any number of other advertisements can clutter your mailbox and your garbage can. Frustrating and unasked for, junk mail makes you feel guilty for producing garbage you didn't even want in the first place. But by being proactive and following a few simple steps, you can opt out of most circulars and cut down on this wasteful practice.  Contact the Mail Preference Service and request that you be placed on a do-not-mail list and contact individual mailers to have your address removed. You can't go through the postal service, because the mail deliverer can't legally decide what mail addressed "To Resident" is undesirable. If you don't want it, contact them at the source. Advo, Pennysaver, Potpourri, and Redplum are common mass-market mailing services. Contact companies that you've patronized in the past and request that your address be removed from their mailing list. Sign up for their email list instead, so you don't miss out on good deals. . One of the great things about getting the newspaper, your favorite magazine, or a good paperback, is that you can tote it around with you. No one wants to sit and read at the computer all day. But you don't have to! Get an e-reader like a Kindle, a Nook, or an iPad and upload your favorite reading material onto an easy-to-transport and even easier-to-read interface. If you're too in love with the feel of real books to use a cold stainless e-reader, you're not alone. But that...

While there’s debate over the effectiveness of dietary supplements, many people with joint issues claim that they relieve symptoms of joint pain. Consult your doctor first, ask them for a recommendation, and let them know about any medications you take to avoid potentially harmful drug interactions.  If a supplement helps you, stick with it. If you take a supplement for 4 to 6 weeks and don’t notice any positive effects, it’s probably not worth the expense. You should also consult your doctor before taking a supplement if you're pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Taking a multivitamin can help you ensure you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to produce functional synovial fluid. Selenium, zinc, manganese, and vitamins A, C, and E are particularly beneficial for joint health.  Ask your healthcare provider if you should take a multivitamin and to recommend a dosage. If they approve, look for a multivitamin labeled for joint health.  Keep in mind that eating nutritious food is better than taking a nutritional supplement. There’s some evidence that glucosamine and chondroitin can relieve joint pain, prevent cartilage erosion, improve joint fluid, and regenerate joint structure.  A typical regimen is 300 to 500 mg of each 3 times per day, but you should ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend dosages. Don't take glucosamine or chondroitin if you're pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are breastfeeding.  If you're on blood thinners, ask your doctor about potential interactions between your medication and glucosamine. Hyaluronic acid gives joint fluid its lubricating and shock-absorbing properties. While injecting it directly into a joint is an established treatment for arthritis, taking an oral capsule is less invasive. When taken for a period of several months, a daily 200 mg dose might improve synovial fluid quality and improve joint health. While there are no known harmful drug interactions, you should still talk to your doctor before taking hyaluronic acid. or omega-3...

While they can be pricey, dehydrators can offer lower heat and more drying control than the oven. If you want to be able to dry parsley quickly, this can be an effective method. Usually, food dehydrators will have an herb setting. Clean the parsley as you would to dry it in the oven, spread the parsley on the drying trays, and follow the instructions on your dehydrator. All you need to dehydrate parsley is a good hot day without much cloud cover and a baking sheet. You need to make sure that it isn't too humid, or the parsley won't dry properly.  Old window screens can make excellent drying racks to separate the parsley from the cookie sheet or baking tray. Cut the old screens to fit the size of the tray, and place the parsley on top to keep air flowing evenly around the parsley as it dries in the sun.  Over the course of the day, turn the parsley over so it gets evenly tanned on both sides. Depending on where you live and the amount of sun available, it may take a few days or be perfectly dry by lunchtime. Keep an eye on it and make sure to bring it in when it gets dark, to avoid dew. You can dry parsley in the microwave, but you can also burn it very quickly, and its difficult to get the parsley dried evenly (as with most microwaved things). If you want to use the microwave, spread your cleaned parsley out on a paper plate in a single layer and nuke it for a minute or two at a time. Keep close watch. If it starts getting dark, or smoking, take it out.

While they might want to wear their favorite animal onesie day in and day out, you will have to pick out some nice clothes for your kids. For girls, dresses in bright colors or floral patterns are a great option. Boys can wear corduroys or khakis and a collared shirt. Other clothing ideas include:  For girls: A dress and sweater; a skirt and blouse; some khakis, a blouse, and a sweater. For boys: Khakis and a button up shirt; corduroys and a sweater; slacks and a polo shirt. While it’s important to keep the dress code in mind, you also don’t want fidgeting children making a ruckus at the baptism. When picking out their outfits, like the ones listed in the previous step, make sure that the materials are comfortable and loose fitting. If possible, let your kids pick out which fancy clothes they want to wear--they will be happier if they’ve picked out what they want to wear. You can skip the tights for your little girls--this is a semi-formal event and there is no need to squish them into tights unless specifically asked to do so by the church or family that is having the baptism. Like tights, fancy, uncomfortable kids shoes are probably not necessary. However, it is your call. If you do decide to have your kids wear dress shoes, make sure to bring comfortable shoes that they can change into for the reception.

While this approach maybe isn't as proactive as you'd like, it may be your only option if local laws aren't on your side. You may just need to close your curtains when you notice the exhibitionism is happening, and look away when you're outside. As an added bonus, if your neighbor gets a thrill out of you looking, maybe they'll be less thrilled if nobody is watching. Another option is to go inside when you notice the person is exposing themselves while you're outdoors. This step is especially effective if you're outside with your kids. You can keep them from seeing what's going on next door by removing them from the area. Another option is to build a fence tall enough so that you can't see your neighbor's house. Of course, that's more difficult if your neighbor has a two-story house, but it can be effective for one-story houses. Also, a high fence around your backyard can keep your kids from seeing what's going on nearby. If your kids are exposed to your neighbor, you need to have a talk with them. Explain that what the person is doing is seen as something that should be kept private, and it's best not to look, as that will only encourage the person more. You could say, "That person has a problem. They are showing something publicly that we know should be kept private. We can't change what that person is doing, but we can control how we react. The best reaction is to ignore the person and try not to look."

While this article gives you good general instructions for melting brass, there are many factors to consider when setting up a furnace. Seek advice online or from foundry workers to find a furnace setup suitable for your budget, the volume of metal you plan to melt, and all types of metal you might want to use it for. Popular metalworking forums online include IForgeIron. The hobbyists and professionals there should be able to advise you. Melting brass requires a great deal of preparation, and a special furnace that can heat the brass rapidly before too much of the component metals oxidize. Purchase a metal melting furnace that can reach 2,000ºF (1,100ºC), constructed from a refractory material that can withstand this heat. Most brass will melt at temperatures as low as 1,650ºF (900ºC), but a higher maximum temperature will give you a margin of error, and make the brass easier to pour.  Select a furnace large enough to hold the crucible and brass you intend to melt. Consider the fuel you will be using. Waste oil is a free fuel source, but the furnace may be more expensive. Propane furnaces are cleaner, but require you to keep purchasing more fuel. Solid fuel furnaces may be cheapest to purchase, or make yourself, but require significant fuel expense and cleanup if used frequently. You may already have brass items ready for melting, but if you want more raw material, thrift stores and yard sales are often treasure troves. Failing that, you can try contacting local scrap yards. Remove the brass from other materials, especially non-metallic objects such as glass, plastic, paper, and cloth. . Wash the brass with soapy water to remove surface contaminants such as oils and excess oxidation prior to performing the melt. If the brass is lacquered, remove the lacquer with acetone, lacquer thinner, or paint stripper. Always wear gloves and work in a ventilated area while removing lacquer, especially if using paint stripper. A crucible holds the molten metal while it is in the furnace.  For brass alloys, a graphite...

While this folding technique will do wonders for preventing wrinkles during the traveling process, it can't do anything for wrinkles or stains that are already there. To ensure your suit jacket is in tip-top shape, send it to the dry cleaner's at least a week before you leave and ensure the cleaner presses the suit in addition to removing any stains. If you're pressed for time, you may want to iron the suit yourself. If you do so, ensure the lapels are well-ironed - it's possible to hide wrinkles elsewhere on the suit, but nearly impossible to hide them on the lapels. Gather both shoulders in one hand and use the other to grasp the jacket at the midpoint of its collar. This should have the effect of folding the jacket in half lengthwise. Straighten the material of the jacket out after folding - the liner should still be on the outside. Try keep the suit as flat as possible and to avoid compressing it. To minimize wrinkling, place only other flat, folded items of clothing on top of the jacket. Avoid placing hard, awkwardly-shaped items like shoes on top of the jacket. When you arrive at your destination, you'll want to essentially do the steps above in reverse. Remove any clothes on top of the jacket, open its bag, undo the horizontal and vertical folds in it, and turn the fabric right-side out. Wrinkling should be minimal - to combat any wrinkles that remain, hang the suit immediately. For persistent wrinkles, try hanging the jacket in the bathroom. When you take a shower, the warmth and steam will loosen the fabric, helping to release any difficult wrinkles.

While this heats up, mince the garlic and chop up onions and mushrooms, if desired. The garlic should be slightly golden. Add any mushrooms and onions as well, along with a tablespoon of butter. Cook another 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent (slightly see-through) Use a wooden spoon to stir and scrape up any bits of caramelized onion from the bottom of the pan. The heat should be on medium-low. This is the "reduction" phase. Use you fingers to lightly mix the flour into the butter. Set this aside. There should only be a little bit of wine remaining -- roughly a fourth. Add the broth and bring the liquid back to a simmer. It can help to preheat the broth in a microwave before adding it. Add the butter a little bit at a time, stirring the whole time with a spoon. The longer it simmers, the thicker the sauce will become. The sauce is incredibly versatile, and goes well with vegetables and white meats or fish. If you want to add shellfish, like shrimp or clams, add them with the garlic to cook with the sauce.

While this heats up, mince the garlic and chop up onions and mushrooms, if desired. The garlic should be slightly golden. Add the mushrooms and onions as well, along with an extra 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Stir everything well with a whisk or wooden spoon. Raise the heat and quickly bring the sauce to a boil so that many bubbles are reaching the surface and popping. Do not let the sauce keep boiling -- you only need it to reach this temperature quickly. Stir the flour in quickly after lowering the heat. The sauce should be simmering, with a few bubbles breaking on the surface. You can simmer the sauce for as long as you want before serving. The longer you leave it on, the thicker and richer it will be. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add hot broth to thin it out without sacrificing flavor. White wine sauce pairs well with chicken and shellfish in particular. Some recipes to try include:  Shrimp, cracked red or cayenne pepper, sauteed onions and bell pepper Chicken, broccoli, and peas Chicken, mushrooms and onions.

While this is mainly for the sake of curiosity, understanding how a ship sinks can be useful and give you a sense of what occurs if you're ever stuck in the situation of being on a sinking ship. Every type of ship will react to taking on water and sinking differently depending on the shape of the hull, center of gravity, and cause of the casualty. No one set of rules works on all ship types.  Water often enters the lowest point of a ship first, the bilge area. The bilges are pits in the lowest part of the engineering section. It's very normal for ships to have water leaking into the bilges. It comes in through sea chests, shaft bearings, or valve seals. Ships have bilge pumps to remove this water once it reaches a certain level. They are in the bilges to attack any eventual flooding as early as possible at the lowest possible level. However, this is not always a viable solution. Ships can sink from hitting another ship, an object such as an iceberg, a ruptured sea chest, or an attack. In the case of the Greek cruise liner MTS Oceanos the water entered through a ruptured overboard sewage discharge valve far from the bilges and erupted into the ship through commodes, sinks, and showers. There was no way the pumps could have helped. The Titanic had seams popped and split starting about 50 feet (15.2 m) from the starboard bow and flooded 6 compartments. The rest is history. There was just too much water for the pumps to discharge. The Lusitania was torpedoed and exploded twice. Both the MS Sea Diamond and the MS Costa Concordia ran aground and sank after hitting well marked reefs while sailing in good weather. There are many other famous examples. Small boats will react differently than bigger ships. They are normally built, as much as possible, of buoyant materials. Reasons for why a boat might sink include a low transom, missing drain plugs, cooling system leaks, or openings either incorrectly closed or broken doors (such as on a car ferry). The broken doors are what sank the car ferry Estonia. The stability of...

While this may seem like a cruel practice, guppy fry are actually born fully prepared to survive on their own. Also, as stated about, mother guppies can occasionally become cannibalistic and will eat their babies. If you are not able to be there when your female gives birth, make sure to provide the fry lots of aquarium plants to hide in. Fry need to live in a tank that is around 78 degrees F (25.5 degrees C.) Keep your tank at this temperature until the fry are fully grown. The tank will also need to be cleaned often. Siphon the tank carefully every time it gets too dirty and do 40% water changes every few days to keep the water clean. Guppy fry eat brine shrimp, micro-worms or powdered flakes. They should be fed twice a day. Guppies enjoy both meat and vegetables. You should feed your guppies vegetable flakes, as well as standard flakes. Remember that fry are tiny and if you place too much food in the tank, the excess food that goes bad while sitting in the water could make your fry sick, or even kill them. Newborn fry should be fed recently hatched brine shrimp so that the guppies reach their greatest growth potential. If you want to give your guppies a treat, place a small amount of boiled spinach in their tank. This means removing any fry that have died. Dead fry will float to the top of the tank, making it easy to scoop them up. Keep track of how many fry die. If you notice that there is a high amount of fry death, you will want to figure out what is killing them. Change the water and switch to a different type of food. Any accumulated waste is bad for guppy health. When the fry are a good size, or about a month and a half to two months old, they will be ready to fend for themselves outside of the breeding tank. You can put them into your normal tank with non-aggressive fish, sell them to your local pet store, or give them to friends as gifts.

While this may seem like a straightforward step, it's an important one. It's a lot harder to open cellophane-wrapped bandages when holding down an injured and very angry feline. When they are all open, lay them out on the table, or at a work station near your table, so that you can quickly grab them when wrapping up your kitty's leg. It's a good idea to lay your materials out in the order that you will use them. If you are right-handed, you will lay the materials out from left to right as: cotton wool, gauze bandage, splint, Primapore (adhesive dressing tape), cotton wadding, a final bandage, and then Elastoplast (wide adhesive dressing). The table should be a comfortable height for you to work at and large enough to hold all of the materials listed above, as well as the cat itself. You should also make sure the table is sturdy; if it wobbles or tips at all, your cat may become even more scared and angry, leading to a higher-tension situation. Yes, this is the medical term. Cotton wool sausages are little rolls of wool that you will stick between your cat's toes later in the process. To make one sausage, tear off a quarter of the cotton wool ball and roll it between your fingers and thumb until it gets thinner and, as you might have guessed, looks like a sausage. Make four of these so that you can keep your cat's claws from digging into their neighboring toes. Doing this will make the splinting process a lot easier. Each strip should be long enough that it can wrap twice around your kitty's leg and the splint. Make four of these strips and then stick the ends of each on to the table so that you can quickly grab them when you are working. Having someone to help hold your cat down will make the splinting process a lot easier and a lot less painful. If someone else holds the cat, you will have both hands free to wrap the splint. Once you have found someone to help you, gently pick your injured cat up. Lay her on the table so that her injured leg is facing up. For example, if you cat has broken her front left...

While this may seem quite obvious, it is important to be sure you’re treating a bug bite and not something else, like poison ivy.  Plus, some symptoms may be similar to other medical conditions, especially if you are allergic to the bug that bit you. If someone was stung inside the mouth, nose or throat, or is experiencing a possible severe allergic reaction, call 911 or 999 or take the person to the ER right away.  People who are suffering in this way may need medical intervention to help them breathe, and will likely need some sort of medication in order to alleviate the symptoms (e.g. epinephrine, corticosteroids, etc.).  If the person who was stung has a known allergy to certain bug bites, she may carry an EpiPen (a portable shot which delivers epinephrine) with her.  If she has one, follow the instructions on the EpiPen to administer the medication to the person immediately. The person must still see a doctor immediately, even if you have administered a shot of epinephrine. If the person who was stung is not having a serious allergic reaction (or wasn’t stung inside his airway) he may be okay temporarily.  If he starts to experience any of the following symptoms, he may need to go to the doctor for further treatment.  Secondary infections can be caused by itching and causing a break in the skin through which bacteria can enter. The skin is the first layer of defense against infection. Persistent pain or itching, fever, signs of infection at the bug bite location. As an example, if this person has an infection, he will most likely need antibiotics in order to fight that infection.

Your view of the tree should be as unobstructed as possible. You can use any small, straight object, such as a paint stick or ruler. Hold it in one hand and stretch your arm out so that the pencil is at arm’s length in front of you (between you and the tree). That is, your friend’s feet should be aligned with the pencil’s tip. He or she should be about the same distance from you as the tree is, not further away or closer toward you. Since, depending on the height of the tree, you may need to be some distance away from your friend, consider using hand signals (with the hand that is not holding the pencil) to tell him or her to go farther, come closer, or move to the left or right. You'll need to measure the length of each mark and the height of your friend, but you can do this after you go home, without having to return to the tree. Scale the difference in lengths on the pencil up to your friend's height. For instance, if the mark showing your friend's height is 2 inches (5 cm) from the tip and the mark for the tree's height is 7 inches (17.5 cm), then the tree is 3.5 times as tall as your friend, since 7 inches / 2 inches = 3.5 (17.5 cm / 5 cm = 3.5). If your friend is 6 feet (180 cm) tall, the tree is 6 x 3.5 = 21 feet tall (180 cm x 3.5 = 630 cm).  Note: If you do have a tape measure with you when you're near the tree, you do not need to do any calculations. Read the step above for "if you have a tape measure" carefully.

While toner will wash out eventually, you probably don't want a ring of purple skin framing your face for the next week or so. Scoop up a dollop of petroleum jelly or another thick moisturizer with your index finger and run it along any skin that is normally in contact with your hair. (Don't forget your ears!) The petroleum jelly will block your skin from absorbing the dye. If you didn't bleach immediately before this step, remember that your hair should be unwashed. Color will grip dirty hair better than it will hair that is clean. After you've bleached your hair, it will likely be a pale yellow. Because purple is at the opposite side of the color wheel, purple toner will balance out the "brassiness" of yellow. The end result will be closer to a neutral white and ready for the gray dye.  Wear gloves when applying toner to avoid staining your hands. Begin with damp hair. If you haven't just done the bleach step, use a spray bottle to spritz your hair with some lukewarm water. Dip a tint brush into your toner. If your toner is packaged in a bottle, squeeze it into a bowl first. Brush the toner on from roots to tips. Start with the hair in back of your head and work forward. Make sure all of your hair is evenly coated. If your hair is thick, clip already-coated hair to the side to get to the layer underneath. You don't have to cover your hair, but a cap or plastic wrap will help to prevent staining. After 20 minutes, rinse the toner out with warm water. Wrap a towel around your hair and gently squeeze out the excess water.  If you're using permanent hair dye, allow your hair to air dry first. If your dye is semi-permanent, apply it while your hair is still damp. Reapply your petroleum jelly barrier first if it was washed away while rinsing out the toner. With a tinting brush, apply your gray dye in the same way you did your toner. At this stage, be especially careful to keep application even. Wear gloves when applying dye. Run your hair under warm water until the water begins to run clear. Rinsing in the shower...

While true henna has a reddish, coppery tone, the color is translucent so it blends with your hair color. That means it won’t look the same on everyone. The lighter your natural hair color, the more vivid red your hair will be. With very dark hair, henna likely won’t impart much color, so you’ll just wind up with added shine.  Pale blonde, gray, and white hair will wind up with a true, vibrant red shade. Mid-tone hair colors, such as dirty blonde and light brown, typically turn a richer, almost auburn shade. If you have red or auburn hair, you likely won’t see much change with henna. However, it can enhance the natural tones in your hair and cover grays. Dark hair shades, including chocolate brown and black, won’t see any real color change with henna, but your locks will look shinier and glossier afterward. If you do have some grays mixed in with your natural color, keep in mind that you won’t wind up with a uniform color. The henna will make the gray pieces appear like highlights, which can be a nice look with light and mid tone hair shades. With dark hair, though, the red highlights may look strange. The amount of henna that you’ll need depends on the length of your hair because the longer your hair is, the more henna you’ll need. Henna powder is typically available in boxes, but you can also purchase it as a brick. Read the package instructions carefully to determine how much henna you’ll need.  If you have short hair no longer than your chin, a 100-gram box of henna is usually enough.  For shoulder-length hair, start with 200 grams of henna.  If your hair is past your shoulders, you’ll want to have at least 300 grams of henna on hand.  For extremely long hair, you may need as much as 500 grams of henna to color your entire head. Warm water is the most common liquid to combine with the powder, and you’ll want to add enough to create a thick, mud-like paste with the henna. Try to remove as many as the lumps as possible, so the mixture has a smooth texture like yogurt.  You can use other liquids to mix your...

While ultrasonic sound systems are available for purchase, their efficacy has been debated. Instead, old fashioned (preferably outdoor/waterproof) speakers seem to work best.  A variety of sudden sounds such as alarms, distressed bird recordings, and explosions are most effective.  Play the sounds erratically, not in a predictable pattern. Move the speakers’ direction, or adjust the fading and panning from the receiver system, to vary the directionality of the sound. The sound of a gunshot may also frighten the starlings away. Using a variety of visual scare tactics is most effective.  Some things to try are balloons, balloons with predator eyes painted on them, flashing lights, shiny/reflective items that move, and models of predators such as owls, hawks, and foxes. Be sure to move the visual scare devices frequently so that the birds do not become acclimated to them. Sporadically spraying the birds with water is a humane way to frighten the birds away. Like the audio and visual attacks, water sprays should be sudden and not patterned so that the birds do not adapt to the timing of the water. The best scare attack is one that combines multiple methods of making the birds’ roosting habitat undesirable.  The more undesirable or inconvenient a habitat is, the more likely the starlings are to move on to a safer place. The bulk of your scare tactics should be applied when the birds are preparing to roost in the evenings.  You can also launch a “reminder” attack in the morning as they are leaving their roosting areas.

While valerian root is a fairly safe herbal supplement, there are some side effects that you may experience while taking it. These include dizziness, headaches, and stomach problems. In addition, you may feel very drowsy, even after a full night’s sleep, so it is important to use extreme caution when driving or operating machinery. Valerian root is not right for everyone. Before you take it, talk to your doctor to ensure that it is safe for you.  Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take valerian root. Children under 3 years old should not take valerian root. People with liver disease should not take valerian root. Valerian root may interact with prescription medications and other herbal supplements you are taking. Always talk to your doctor about all of the medications and supplements you take.  Valerian root is known to interact with alcohol and sedatives. Valerian root may also affect your liver function, so be cautious if you are taking medications that are broken down by the liver. If you suffer from insomnia, taking valerian root may not be the best remedy for your condition. Seeing a doctor for a diagnosis can help you discover and treat the root cause of your insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a very effective treatment for insomnia that is not caused by an underlying medical condition.

While watery eyes are sometimes a symptom of allergies, cat allergies often show up on the skin. Therefore, you may notice crusty skin, lesions, or hair loss. Your cat may also scratch excessively. Cat allergies are treated much like human allergies. That is, most of the time, your cat will be prescribed an antihistamine to help deal with the body's reaction to an allergen. The main antihistamines used for cats are Chlor-Trimeton, Benadryl, Atarax, and Tavist. Steroids may also be helpful when your cat has a particularly bad allergy attack, but they should only be used for a short period. Ask your vet if it's a good option for your cat. If you have a board certified veterinary dermatologist do an allergy test, they will be able to tell you what things your cat is allergic to so that you can limit exposure. For instance, if your cat is allergic to pollen, grass, trees, or some bugs, you can keep the cat inside and keep the windows closed as much as possible. You can make sure dust is minimized around the house and switch foods to find one your cat isn't allergic to. Some cat owners have had good luck with omega-3 fatty acids improving their cat's allergies. When looking for a supplement, make sure it's derived from fish oil. Also, ask your veterinarian about an appropriate dose for your cat. . This recommendation may sound like one you want to avoid. However, most of the time, cats aren't as resistant to bathing as you might think. Use a feline shampoo that’s recommended by a veterinary physician, and use it as frequently as they recommend to use it. You can also give your cat a bath using a colloidal oatmeal, hypoallergenic, or hydrocortisone shampoo (made for cats) to help alleviate some of the itchiness your cat is experiencing. Try bathing your cat when you notice they are itching more or they have a flare up.

While we all hope that we’re prepared for any emergency, sometimes we forget that even the best menstrual products can leak and get blood on our underwear and clothing. During your heaviest days, it might be a good idea to bring an extra pair of underwear and pants. Wearing cotton underwear allows for more air to reach your vagina. This helps it stay dryer during your period. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, trap moisture leading to bacterial growth. Doing so allows your vagina to breathe. This also helps keep the amount of sweat low. Wearing loose clothing has the added benefit of being more comfortable if you experience menstrual cramps. For instance wearing gauchos, skirts, or loose shorts or pants, instead of tight-fitting jeans or pants, can make your genital area more airy. Certain foods such as garlic, broccoli, or blue cheese, can increase vaginal odor. While it may not directly increase menstruation-related odor, it certainly won’t help if food is increasing your vaginal odor. Try cutting out offending foods all at once and adding them back slowly, to see what might be the culprit.

While we're not able to do much with our own ears, a dog's ears can be incredibly expressive.  Be aware that dogs whose ears were clipped as a puppy may not have the full range of motion to express themselves through their ears.  A dog whose ears are pricked forward or straight up is fully engaged in play, hunting, or concentration. This ear position can also indicate curiosity and can express the intent to do something, as the dog is turning to catch sounds. It is an obvious ear position in the early stage of a chase.  A dog’s ears being flattened, sitting against the dog's head, indicates that the dog feels afraid or threatened. Ears that are forward but close to the head can also indicate aggression.  A dog’s ears part way back but not flattened may be feeling unhappiness, anxiety, or uncertainty. A dog's eyes express as much as human eyes do, and just as you learn to interpret people's eye signals, you can also learn to interpret your dog's. Here are some of the more common eye signals:  Eyes wide open: this means that your dog is feeling alert, playful, and ready.  Staring: staring indicates dominant, challenging behavior. Avoiding eye contact: a dog trying to look away from your face can be showing politeness, deference, or submission. Blinking or winking: these indicate that your dog is being playful. Narrowed eyes: this can indicate that your dog is feeling aggressive and is preparing to attack. This gesture may be accompanied by staring. Dogs often show how they are feeling with facial expressions.  Understanding facial expressions can help you interpret your dog’s feelings and communicate with your canine companion.  Smiling: believe it or not, dogs can smile.  While it can be difficult to differentiate a smile from a snarl, checking other body language for signs of play or aggression can help you determine whether your dog is happy or feeling aggressive. If everything else adds up to a happy dog, then your dog is smiling, and this means it's happy and relaxed. Yawning: the meaning of a dog’s...

While wealth is a relative concept, many associate it with being a “millionaire.” Knowing the precise number of single millionaire men in the U.S., or the world for that matter, isn’t a figure easily determined. What is clear, however, is that the overall number of millionaires is rising. In fact, 1 out of every 13 households (all kinds) in the U.S. has at least $1 million in assets. One out of every 100 has at least $25 million in assets.  How are they making their money? In a variety of ways. Extremely wealthy men are often in business, working at hedge funds and in other areas of finance and investing. A growing number of men are making extreme amounts of money as tech and web entrepreneurs. And real estate; media, sports and entertainment; oil and gas; and other business ventures continue to be lucrative and popular areas. There are also a large number of men making very good money in medicine, dentistry, the law, engineering, and, one mustn’t forget, in corner offices serving as CEOs. In general, they work close to 60- to 80-hour weeks and are often self-made, wealthy men. They did well in school, took calculated risks, and have a long-term plan. They’re also high energy, visionary and extremely confident. Many live surprisingly modestly, are generally upbeat and recognize they’re not the smartest person in the room, at least not on every issue, so they surround themselves with people who can help them fill in the gaps, and to fulfill their vision. Yet their confidence frequently bleeds into narcissistic behavior, and they often lack empathy for others. Feeling a sense of entitlement isn’t foreign to them either. Not all men are the same, obviously, but there are some generalities. They gravitate toward fit, attractive women who are well dressed. They have a tendency to feel entitled (there’s that word again) to “arm candy” or a woman who can plan social schedules, play hostess and the like. Yet when surveyed, roughly 90% of men who are high-achieving and considered either successful or highly successful...

While we’d all like to believe there is a “superfood” or two out there that can cure a cold, the legitimate medical evidence to back up such claims is slim at best.  Eating a balanced, healthy diet can only improve your odds of having a strong immune system, which gives you the best chance of fending off a cold before it strikes.  Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Try onions, blueberries, bell peppers, carrots, garlic, citrus fruits, mushrooms, fennel, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes, among others. They contain high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, antioxidants, beta-carotene and B vitamins, which may improve how your immune system functions. Eat lean proteins, such as fish, poultry, pork and eggs. Vitamin E, zinc, selenium and iron are found in these foods. They may help boost immune system response.   This list of so-called cold-fighting superfoods may or may not help you curtail a cold, but it does offer a group of many healthy food options that can only benefit your immune system when eaten in proper amounts. Like a proper diet, regular exercise promotes a healthy body, which is more likely to have a strong immune system that can better combat the cold virus, perhaps even stopping it before it starts.  If you already have a cold, one or two 30-minute walks per day may be of benefit by improving circulation and lowering stress.  While the relationship is unclear, low to moderate exercise may also play an important role in the immune system response.  Low to moderate exercise is recommended when you have a cold, because over-exertion can take energy away from your body while it is trying to fight off the virus. Too much stress and too little sleep are bad for your body whether you are fighting a cold or are otherwise feeling great.  A rested and refreshed body is more likely to fight off a cold before it starts or possibly limit the amount of time you have to suffer having one.  Get eight or more hours of sleep. Your body recharges during periods of uninterrupted sleep, allowing your immune system...

While whispering might seem like a method of preserving one's voice, it actually puts much more strain on your vocal chords than speaking normally does. Whispering also has a drying effect that can cause voice loss. Take every opportunity to whisper instead of talking at a regular volume by pretending that you need to be discreet during conversations, or by starting discussions in quiet places (e.g. a library). This will make your throat sore and your voice raspy. While professional singers generally warm up their voices before performing, amateur singers have a tendency to wear out their voices by singing too loudly and out of pitch. Spend an evening doing karaoke with friends to enjoy yourself while trying to lose your voice. The act of projecting your voice to fill a room or hall is very likely to cause bruising or swelling of your vocal cords, resulting in temporary laryngitis. Coughing or clearing your throat can put a strain on your larynx, diminishing your voice. Excessive coughing commonly causes laryngitis, either in the short term or long-term. To lose your voice fast, prompt yourself to cough, or clear your voice repetitively until it becomes hoarse and raspy. Lose your voice in a fun way by attending a loud concert or sporting event. Get into the action and cheer, sing along, or scream as much as possible. While losing one's voice is often considered a downside of these fun experiences, it can be seen as a success when that is your ultimate goal. Visiting a dance club, attending a demonstration, or going go karting are also options for loud activities that encourage voice exertion.

While you and your baby will learn a lot about breastfeeding together, it's helpful to learn as much as you can in advance. Talk to women in your family and community to get support. If you don't know many other women who have breastfed, don't let that stop you. There are many resources-both online and locally-that can help you.  Groups such as the La Leche League offer in-person meetings across the globe as well as social media groups to connect new and expectant mothers: https://www.llli.org  Seek out a breastfeeding class either before or after your baby is born. You can find classes online or ask your medical provider or hospital for more information. Talk to the men in your life about breastfeeding, so they understand the health benefits, know what to expect, and can learn how to support you. Create a space in your home where you can quietly and comfortably breastfeed your baby. Consider whether you'd prefer to nurse in a large chair, recliner, or sofa. If you can, set up the breastfeeding space near your baby's crib or bassinet, so you can feed and return the baby to the crib or bassinet, especially in the middle of the night. Stock your breastfeeding station with:   Breast pads and lanolin-based nipple cream Changes of clothes for the baby and a clean shirt for you Blankets and pillows Burp cloths Unscented baby wipes Healthy drinks such as water and unsweetened fruit juice. Nutritious snacks that can be held with one hand like a protein bar or fruit. If you work away from your home and choose to pump breast milk, you will want to make arrangements to pump milk while at work. US Federal Law mandates that all employers provide both a time and space for breastfeeding mothers to pump milk while at work.   Many other countries have similar laws.

While you and your partner are trying to work things out at home, you can also work things out in a safe environment where couples can speak freely about their relationship.  The therapist can encourage both parties to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the relationship. If patterns emerge, such as patterns of infidelity or emotional abuse, the therapist can address them. If you feel you’re to blame for the affair, the therapist can help you to work through those problems. You may have feelings of inadequacy, or betrayal or anger and the therapist can help you  to deal with them. The partner who had the affair may need to work through feeling of regret, or may even need to know why they felt it necessary to have an affair. Here,too, the therapist can help. The partner who cheated may need to work on communicating dissatisfaction with the relationship so that the temptation of infidelity (or an excuse for it) can be avoided. Be specific. The more specific you are, the more tangible will be the changes that you both make to help your relationship go forward.  Do you need certain times each week, an hour or so, in which you discuss problems that have cropped up between you? Do you need more physical attention, more affection? Do you need more romance? Do you need something simple, like going to bed at the same time each night?

Why did your partner think your relationship wasn’t working?  This will probably be difficult since your partner was the one who had the affair.
