Sometimes just talking to someone about what you are dealing with can make you feel better. Try talking to a trustworthy friend or family member about what has been happening in your home life.   For example, you could try talking with a close friend about the way that your parents make you feel. Choose someone you feel comfortable talking to and who you know will not turn around and repeat what you said to your parents. Try to avoid becoming too dependent on this person for your emotional needs. Just talk when you need someone to listen to you. If you find yourself calling several times a day for reassurance, then you may be developing a codependent relationship with this person. Talk to your school counselor or therapist if you find yourself depending more and more on other people for validation. Mentors can guide you through important life decisions and teach you things that your parents are not willing or able to teach you. You can find a mentor to help you learn new skills for navigating difficult situations, succeeding in school, or advancing your professional career. Try asking a trustworthy, responsible adult in your life to mentor you, such as a coach, a teacher, or a boss.  If your coach or boss offers to mentor you, make sure that you take him or her up on that offer; however, you can also try asking someone to mentor you, such as by saying, “I admire your success in life and I hope to achieve many of the same things you have someday. I am not sure how to get there. Would you be willing to mentor me?” Try to avoid becoming too dependent on your mentor. Keep in mind that a mentor cannot replace your parents you should not look to this person for parental guidance. A mentor is just someone who can help you reach your goals in school, work, or in another specific area of your life. If your parents seem to favor a sibling over you, it doesn’t mean they love one of you any more or less.  There could be a situational reason why they treat your sibling with more thoughtfulness or effort.  Most of the time...

Sometimes moving the furniture around in your current room can significantly reduce noise pollution at night.  You want to make sure that there are large, thick objects blocking or separating you from whatever is causing the most noise.  For example:  Put a thick bookshelf against a wall you share with a noisy neighbor to help muffle the noise.  The more books you place on these shelves the more noise it will muffle! If your bedroom shares a wall with a noisy neighbor’s living room, move your bed to the side of the room that is farthest from the source of the noise. Move your bed to be far away from any windows to help reduce the amount of noise you hear from the street. Acoustic tiles are most often used in recording studios and theaters to absorb and diffuse sounds; however, you can use this technology to help block out sounds at night as well.  Available online or from many hardware stores, acoustic tiles come in a variety of shapes and colors and when installed can often look like wall art.  You can apply acoustic tiles permanently if you are a homeowner or temporarily if you are a renter.  Put these on the walls where the source of the noise is coming from, and the tiles will absorb and diffuse the noise to block out sounds at night.  If you can’t find acoustic tiles or don’t like their appearance, try hanging a thick tapestry or rug on the wall for a similar effect. You can also hang acoustic tiles or thick tapestries from the ceiling to block out noises from above. If the loud noises are coming from the outside, the best way to block out noises at night is to make sure your windows are insulated.  If you choose to install new double-paned windows to your home, then this can be an expensive solution. But there are other more cost-effective ways to get similar results:  Seal any gaps or cracks in the windows with an insulating foam from your local hardware store.  This foam won’t harm the existing frames or windowsill, but it will stop noise from entering your bedroom through these cracks. Hang thick...

Sometimes muscle spasms can cause extreme pain. Ask your doctor about taking over the counter pain medicine, such as nonsteroidal anti-infammatory drugs (NSAIDS). These include ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen sodium (Aleve). You may also try acetaminophen (Tylenol). These reduce any excessive inflammation or swelling of the affected area. Anti-inflammatories can also help increase blood flow to allow the area to heal. Your doctor will likely recommend that you take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication (such as Ibuprofen) as the first line of treatment. Ibuprofen side effects most commonly include gastrointestinal issues, but they're lower than the effects from aspirin. Ibuprofen side effects include: nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, indigestion, constipation, abdominal cramps, dizziness, headache, nervousness, or rash. If you have an injury or a muscle that is causing constant or repeating spasms, you should see your physician. Your doctor can prescribe medicine that will help relax your muscles and increase blood flow. Talk to your doctor if any medicine you take causes muscle spasms.  Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) is a commonly prescribed medication for moderate to severe muscle spasms that works on your central nervous system to relax your muscles. While this is helpful, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) have been shown to relieve acute symptoms from muscle spasms more effectively.  Some muscle relaxers are highly addictive. Keep this in mind and monitor intake. You should be able to treat muscle spasms at home. But, if spasms are too painful, occur frequently, last a long time, or affect additional muscles, you should see your doctor. The spasm might be a sign of an underlying problem that needs treatment. Muscle spasms themselves are not usually a diagnosis. Instead, spasms can mean that there is another issue that needs to be diagnosed and treated. The issue can range from simple overuse of the muscle to an underlying metabolic disorder for chronic spasms.

Sometimes parents don’t even realize the effect they have on their kids. Be sure to express your feelings to your parents when the argument is over. Avoid bringing it up during the argument, which may only make things worse if they feel guilty. They may also blame the other parent if emotions are high. Try to be calm while expressing yourself. Avoid egging them on or trying to guilt trip them. Your aim is to help them understand what you’re feeling so they will reconsider their actions. You're not trying to get payback. Research shows that bitter disputes between parents can impair the emotional development of children. Psychologists have known for years that a secure attachment between parent and child is important for healthy development. Recent research suggests that perceived security between caregivers is also significant. Unresolved conflict between parents can cause anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. Some disagreements are natural and may help to solve problems. Other kinds of fighting hurt everyone involved, damaging relationships and creating feelings of insecurity. Here are the characteristics of different kinds of fighting:  Good: compromise. Good fights end with people agreeing to do something differently in order to make things better. For example, if they think dinner should start at different times, they can compromise by choosing a new time that they can both agree on. Good: positive statements despite having a difference of opinion. Disagreeing doesn’t have to mean disliking each other or not appreciating things about each other. For example, one of your parents might say, “I’m angry that you forgot to take out the trash, but you normally do a good job helping out around the house.” Bad: personal insults. For example, name-calling and insulting each other’s ability to be a good parent/partner are harmful ways to handle conflict. Bad: stonewalling, or refusing to acknowledge the other person. The silent treatment can be just as bad as yelling, because it leaves unresolved tension in...

Sometimes particularly impactful experiences can leave noticeable physical traces indicative of emotional trauma. If you have certain symptoms, it could be the case that the painful memories you have are associated with some emotional trauma that is affecting your physical health. No two people will ever express their reaction to trauma in the same way, so it’s important to consider your own situation individually, perhaps in dialogue with a mental health professional.  Common physical symptoms of emotional trauma are trouble sleeping due to insomnia or nightmares, a racing or unsteady heartbeat, physical aches and pains all over your body, being easily startled, tiredness, trouble concentrating, agitation, being on edge, and tense muscles.  These symptoms can be signs of anxiety related to painful memories in the past. Engaging with and learning how to manage any anxiety that arises for you can help in easing the effects of painful memories in your everyday life. The first thing you have to figure out is precisely how painful memories might be impacting your current life. Because particularly impactful experiences in the past can affect you in the most subtle of neurological and psychological levels, you are not always aware of how they might be influencing your behavior in the present. While all of your current behaviors and ideas are influenced to some extent by past behaviors, those that have left painful memories often affect you more than others.  For example, you could experience a large degree of anxiety around lakes because of a near death experience in water, or you could perhaps unconsciously avoid certain activities or locations that remind you of a deceased loved one. Whatever the case, learning exactly how such painful memories might be affecting your life in the present in order to come to terms with them and incorporating their effects into your everyday life. To figure out how they are impacting you, take an inventory of how you react to certain things. Think back to any noticeable changes...

Sometimes people are confused by the difference between the average and the median of a set of numbers. There are times that the median can be a better number to use than the average, actually.  The median means the midpoint number in the data. It means the number (in this case age) that appears exactly in the middle.. Median might be a better assessment of the group’s age if there is an outlier in the group. Let’s say every student in a college class of 20 is between the ages of 18-25, but there is a single older returning student who is 80. If you calculated the average, the much older student would skew the average upward making the class look older than it really is. If you selected the number at the midpoint of all the ages on a list, it would be a closer representation of the class. So, use median if there is an extreme outlier on your list. Mode is different; that means the number that appears most frequently in the data.  Mean is the same thing as average. It’s just another word used for it. Sometimes the best way to handle numbers is simply to present more than one number, say both median and average. If you’re asked to find the average age but only have age ranges (such as a certain number of people in age range 2-4 and age range 4-6, you would calculate the midpoint number for each range, add those up, and then divide them by the total number in each age range.)

Sometimes people can come across as mean and unfriendly, when they are really shy or just uncomfortable. Instead of assuming what someone is feeling or what his intentions are, explore options for his behavior and try to give him the benefit of the doubt.  Think to yourself, “Why else could he be acting like this?” You will probably come up with a few alternate explanations. For example, if someone is being rude, don’t assume he is just mean. Ask yourself, “Could he be acting this way because he is upset or tired? Maybe he doesn't know how that comment sounded.” Ask him about it if you can’t come up with an explanation or to confirm what you are thinking. You could say, “And why do you say that?” or, “Why’d you decide to do that?” If you can better acquaint yourself with the person's decision making process, it is yet another layer added to his personality concept. Knowing how someone reasons through things tells you a lot about his priorities and assumptions. will be much easier to understand people if you don’t expect everyone to think and act like you. Even people with similar personalities have different experiences and backgrounds that shape their opinions and attitudes. Learning more about people can help you appreciate their differences and avoid stereotyping them.  A great way to do this is to expose yourself to different types of people, places, and experiences. Watch videos or read books to get a glimpse into how others live. Read articles to explore different belief systems, cultures, and values. Talk to people outside of your comfort zone. Strike up a conversation on the elevator. Talk to the person beside you on the bus. Chat online with someone from another background or country. This means putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. When you can empathize with someone you can understand what she is feeling and her perspective, even if you don’t feel the same or have the same opinion. Some people are naturally empathetic and others aren’t. But it is a skill that can be developed and improved...

Sometimes people do nasty things, and sometimes this results in betrayal. Reacting with outrage won't fix the situation. It is better for you, both now and in the long run, to remain calm and focus on practical matters. Don't ignore the situation, but go about your daily life without obsessing over the outrageous behavior. Being nice to the backstabber is probably the last thing you feel like doing, but if you are calm enough and sincerely agree with some of their points, this could fix the situation. Many passive-aggressive people, backstabbers included, feel they have to use devious and hurtful methods because their direct contributions aren't valued. Invite her to join you in activities. Do something fun and distracting that will make the backstabber feel welcome again. Approach the backstabber privately, using text or email if you can't talk to him in person. Politely tell him that you would like to talk about recent occurrences. Set up a private conversation. Describe the incidents that have been bothering you, and how they have affected you. Ask the other person to confirm the facts, such as whether she sent a particular text. If you feel like the backstabber is still a friend in some sense, make it very clear that you do not approve of their behavior and that it threatens your friendship.   Avoid starting sentences with "you", which can make the backstabber feel accused and defensive. Instead, use sentences like "I heard there have been some false rumors about me." Backstabbers usually don't betray someone just once, their behavior is part of a larger pattern of mistreatment. If someone continues to treat you poorly after you after you have warned them about it, you should seriously consider working the person out of your life if possible. Your friend probably doesn't want to stay mad at you forever. Let her say her side of the story without interrupting or getting angry. It's always possible you were mistaken, or that the situation is more complicated than you thought. Even if you think your friend...

Sometimes people just don't feel like talking, could be busy, or something might have happened in their personal life. Try and not panic and don’t get angry with the person. Be understanding and excuse yourself politely from the conversation, which can save you and your partner from continued awkward exchanges. Do your best to not show your emotions to the other person. There are many different reasons that you might need to end a conversation like using the restroom or taking a phone call. If you notice your conversation partner isn’t engaging, draw upon an “easy out” to leave the chat while leaving things on a positive note. You could say that:  You would like to get another refreshment at the bar You need to take or make an important call You need to use the restroom You’re feeling slightly ill and need some fresh air. If something naturally interrupts your conversation, take it as a way to extract yourself. This helps you leave the conversation on a positive note.  Look for something in the room that makes you “realize” something. For example, say “wow, I didn’t realize it got so late. I need to get home for my daughter’s bedtime,” after looking towards a clock or at your watch. See if there is someone else who can join the conversation to make your exit.  Wait for a lull in the conversation and use this as a way to transition out of the conversation. For example, you can say “I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you, but I need to get going because I have an early meeting.” You can easily extract yourself from an unproductive conversation by framing your exit to the other person’s benefit. Use strategic statements such as “I don’t want to monopolize your time” to finish the chat.  Say things like “I’m sure you’d like to talk to other people, so I’m going to scamper off.”  Remember to keep your tone and body language as genuine as possible.  Avoid using this tactic too often because it can make you appear disingenuous. Asking for information about how to contact the person naturally indicates that the...

Sometimes people who are vegan or lactose intolerant may crave cheese sauce. While nothing really replicates the cheesy goodness of the perfect cheese sauce, a vegan cheese-style sauce may help you kick the craving. The key to making good vegan cheese sauce is using starchy vegetables like zucchini and potatoes to give the sauce a creamy texture and keep it from separating.  You will need access to a high powered blender, food processor, or Vitamix to create a creamy texture for this sauce. Nutritional yeast can be found in health food stores in the form of flakes or powder. It has a strong, savory flavor that is nutty and tangy. The deactivated yeast is a popular vegan substitute for cheese in recipes.  If you are allergic to soy sauce, you can substitute it for vegan worcestershire sauce, sold at most health food and speciality food stores. It will give the sauce a similar flavor, but you will need to add more salt to make up for the saltiness that soy sauce provides. Preheat your oven to 415 °F (213 °C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Peel all the green skin off the zucchini with a vegetable peeler. Then, slice it into ¼ inch slices and place the slices on the sheet pan.  Season the slices with a dash of salt and pepper. Bake the zucchini for 15 minutes until they appear tender and soft to the touch. Peeling the zucchini will prevent the sauce from coming out a strange green-yellow color. Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place the potatoes on another sheet pan and into the oven with the zucchini for about 10 minutes, until they appear soft.  You can also cook the potatoes fast in the microwave for about 5 minutes, covered, until they are very soft to the touch. Do not boil the potatoes, as they will get water-logged and make your cheese sauce runny. Then, use a dry measuring cup to measure out 1 cup of mashed potatoes. It’s important to measure the mashed potatoes for accurate results and a solid vegan cheese sauce. Add the 1 cup of mashed potatoes to your high speed blender, food...

Sometimes people who care about each other will tell little white lies or sugar coat the truth out of consideration for their partner’s feelings. Autistic people may not do this. Instead, you might get some very honest answers from your boyfriend. These answers are not meant to be hurtful, it is just how your boyfriend communicates.  For example, if you ask your boyfriend, “Do I look good in this yellow top?” you might expect or want him to say yes. But autistic people might respond with “no” if they do not think that you do. Therefore, you may want to avoid asking questions that you think might result in an answer that will upset you. Remember that honesty is your boyfriend's way of trying to help you. Since some autistic people struggle to understand sarcasm or other non-literal forms of communication, you may have situations where your boyfriend asks you a lot of questions. Don’t get upset if this happens. Remember, he asks questions because he cares about you and wants to understand you. Remember that body language and other non-verbal cues may be difficult for autistic people to understand. Instead of trying to communicate with your boyfriend using non-verbal cues, say how you are feeling or what you are thinking. By stating your feelings or thoughts instead of trying to get your boyfriend to guess at them, you may avoid an uncomfortable situation or even an argument.  For example, when a non-autistic person like you avoids eye contact, it is often a sign of being disinterested or upset. But for an autistic person, avoiding eye contact is normal and often not a sign of anything. It helps to say "I'm really stressed today" or "I had a bad day." By extension, if he fails to make eye contact with you, do not take it as a sign that he's disinterested in you, unless he tells you so.  If he is doing something that bothers you, tell him. Dropping hints or being silent and then snapping at him won't help. Be straightforward so he can understand and make a change. For example, "Please don't chew with your mouth...

Sometimes people, including your parents and siblings, won’t always ask for your help. Instead, you can keep an eye out to see if they might need it. For example, if your dad comes home with groceries, ask if you can help carry them into the house. Or, if your mom is cooking, ask if she needs you to do anything else that will help get dinner ready. Your family may tell you they don’t need your help, and that’s okay. The important thing is that you thought to ask, which they will appreciate. Make sure you have all the plates, cups, and utensils you will need to eat your meal. You can also look up proper ways to  set the table or  fold napkins for something nicer and more creative to look at. After meals are over, you can also be helpful by clearing the table. Get all the dishes and silverware into the sink or dishwasher for cleaning. . After meals, you need to clean off dishes and make sure they get put away. Nobody likes cleaning the dishes, so you can really help your parents out after they’ve put in a lot of work to make meals.  Start by scraping off all food scraps, which will make the dishes easier to clean. Remember to use warm water and soap to clean off the whole dish. Clean all the dishes, silverware, cups, anything that you used to eat or make food with. Remember to clean food scraps out of the sink drain when you are finished. Throw them away so they don’t clog the drain. Empty the dishwasher. If your house has a dishwasher, unload it after it finishes. Just give it a few minutes to cool down first, as dishes can be hot. You don’t want to accidentally burn yourself. Be careful when handling sharp objects like knives and other utensils. If you aren’t careful, you can cut yourself, so always pick things up by the handle, and watch where you are reaching. Dirt, dust, crumbs, and other things gather on the floor and can attract bugs.

Sometimes reading about important figures or influential people can make the subject appear unrelatable to the reader. Use your conclusion to briefly mention personal details, stories, or accounts that you mentioned throughout the biography. Bringing these personal details into the conclusion can make the subject more accessible to the reader. Discuss how they loved visiting their grandmother, or mention that their favorite place was a quiet cabin in the mountains. While reading a biography, the reader may forget that each person has had their own difficulties and personal struggles to overcome. If a subject has been greatly influenced by a personal tragedy or was fired from several jobs during their lifetime, consider mentioning that in the conclusion. The late Nelson Mandela led an influential, prominent, and successful life as a South African activist and former president. Although he earned many awards and honors, he admitted that he was not a very good student when he was trying to earn a law degree. A reader may be able to better understand that Nelson Mandela had to work hard during his life. If the subject’s hobbies, passions, or interests played an important role in their life, incorporate that into the conclusion. Perhaps reading particular books inspired them to write their own popular novel, or maybe their love for animals inspired them to work to protect endangered animals. Weave their personal interests into the conclusion by acknowledging how those interests influenced their work or life decisions.

Sometimes redirecting the conversation can curb bragging behavior. If your friend starts bragging, change the subject to something you both find interesting. Maybe you could talk about a class you're both in or a book you both love. You could even compliment a mutual friend and encourage the bragging friend to praise others.  If your friend continually turns the conversation back to themselves, politely tell them you don't want to talk about that right now. You don't have to tell them why. You might say, "Very cool, Jacob! Hey, have you seen the trailer for that new superhero movie yet? It looks pretty awesome. What kinds of movies do you like?" If your friend is always one-upping you, you may feel the urge to brag back. This will only worsen the problem: your friend will want to best you and you will feel even more angry. When you feel the urge, hold your tongue. Stooping to their level will not help. Never lie about your accomplishments in an attempt to best them. Even if they don't find out, you will likely feel bad for lying. If you notice yourself bragging, correct yourself out loud and avoid bragging in the future. Apologize to your friend and say something like, "I didn't realize I had been bragging. I'll try not to do that in the future. I know it makes people feel bad." If you make an effort to stop, your friend might follow suit.  Even if your friend knows they have a problem, they might feel too embarrassed to change their behavior. Knowing that other people struggle with it, too, can push them towards improvement. Do not brag on purpose just to self-correct yourself. This is passive-aggressive. Your friend may not necessarily pick up on the hint, but they may pick up on your anger. Instead, become self-aware of your own bragging habits. People often don't realize how their bragging hurts others. Your friend might not mean to hurt your feelings. Treat them kindly and with respect. Ganging up against them will not solve the problem.

Sometimes sarcasm is used to inject humor into a situation or dissipate tension. In other cases, sarcasm could be wielded as a verbal weapon. Knowing the difference is important, since you don't want to overreact if the sarcastic person is just trying to be funny. In general, if the remark doesn't single a person out, it's possible it was intended to be humorous. But other times, people find something that could become a joke and say it right away without thinking, and could possibly hurt someone.  For example, someone might try to lighten the mood in a long line by saying, "Oh, I'm so happy to be standing in this ridiculously long line right now." There's nothing aggressive about that statement; the person probably just wants to get a few chuckles. On the other hand, this statement could be perceived as rude and aggressive, depending on the tone with which it's delivered, such as an insult: "Wow, I'm so lucky that you're the person I'm standing next to in this ridiculously long line." The simplest way to deal with a sarcastic remark in the moment is to recognize it (nod, say "Okay") as if the words were sincere. This is a way to move the conversation along without interruption, and allows you to remain confident and collected.  You can also ignore the sarcastic remark completely, pretending not to hear it. If the speaker’s intention was to upset you, you won’t be rewarding him with your attention. The speaker is looking for a reaction, so don't give any return (value) to the words. Turn to talk to another person altogether. This will send the message that you’re unwilling to engage in additional conversation with the sarcastic person. They might enjoy your company, but they show it differently than you do, or you are used to. Proceeding as if not understanding can deflect the speaker’s negative intent.  For example, if the person said, “What a surprise - you're doing something nice!” you can respond by saying "My action wasn’t meant as niceness. John, I was simply helping out." By responding with apparent...

Inhale slowly as you open your throat, arms, and chest, as though you were just surprised by something. Hold this openness while staying relaxed. This is the same technique you will use to hold a note. Now, choose a note in the middle of your range, repeat the above steps, but this time sing that note and hold it for as long as you can, keeping your throat open and relaxed as you sustain the note. If you’re going to be singing a song that requires you to hit some high notes, there are ways you can practice for this. The problem with high notes is that you can damage your vocal chords if you strain too hard to hit the notes. To reach high notes without causing damage, you need to:  Practice keeping a steady flow of air as you sing. Keep all your muscles relaxed. Keep all your resonance chambers (the throat, mouth, nose, chest, etc.) open as you sing. Pick a song with high notes and practice it in sections until you become comfortable with each section. Practice the song once through without singing the words: instead, vocalize a single sound to go through all the pitches. When you're comfortable with that, sing the song, words and all, through entirely. A song with low notes can also be difficult to master because with low notes, you can easily lose control of the sound, because your vocal chords relax as the pitch descends.  To maintain control of your lower notes, it’s important to keep your throat relaxed and maintain resonance in your face. If you stop feeling the resonance in your face as you reach for lower notes, shake your head from side to side to open your throat and try again. Don’t worry if your volume drops with the lower notes, because lower notes cannot be sung at a loud volume. Instead,...

Sometimes the best solution to shortness of breath is to take things easier. Don’t overexert yourself, which could result in a flare up. Instead, build more time into your schedule so that you can relax, move slowly, and take frequent breaks.  Ask for help when you need it. Communicate your needs to those around you. Say, “I’d love to go shopping with you today, but I’ll need to rest on the benches every 15 to 20 minutes.” Avoid activities that overexert you. . Smoking harms your lungs and makes it harder for you to breathe. Not only can smoking cause shortness of breath, it can also make it worse if you have another underlying condition at the root of your symptoms. If you need help quitting, talk to your doctor about assistive measures you can take to help you quit, such as using a patch, gum, or medication. if you are overweight or obese.

Limit sugary snacks and drinks. Drink plenty of water. If your shortness of breath is caused by becoming easily winded, then light exercise can help you reduce future instances of the condition. The better your body is primed for activity, the less likely you are to experience shortness of breath. Exercise can also improve the flow of air into your body. Since you are already becoming winded, it’s important to start small. Try walking for a few minutes at a time, or try a water workout.  Talk to your doctor before beginning any new exercise programs. Stop as soon as you feel winded. You can always try again when your body says it’s ready. Pollutants and allergens can both irritate your throat and...

Sometimes the best thing you can give your child is love and affection. A warm touch or a caring hug can let your child know how much you really care about him or her. Don't ever overlook how important a physical connection is when it comes to your child. Here are some ways to show love and affection:  A gentle cuddle, a little encouragement, appreciation, approval or even a smile can go a long way to boost the confidence and well-being of your children.  Tell them you love them every day, no matter how angry at them you may be. Give lots of hugs and some kisses. Make your children comfortable with love and affection from birth. Love them unconditionally; don't force them to be who you think they should be in order to earn your love. Let them know that you will always love them no matter what. Provide experiences over toys. Even though all children like gifts, an abundance of expensive trifles and electronic devices can spoil them. It is important to keep your child in the real world, teach them to value feelings over money. It is especially common for busy parents to overdo with gifts to compensate for the lack of joint pastime. Toys can entertain your child for a while, but they will never let them feel loved and cared for as an attentive parent can. . Praising your children is an important part of being a good parent. You want your kids to feel proud of their accomplishments and good about themselves. If you don't give them the confidence they need to be out in the world on their own, then they won't feel empowered to be independent or adventurous. When they do something good, let them know that you've noticed and that you're very proud of them.  Emphasize your children's accomplishments, talents, and good behavior, while minimizing their faults. This shows them you see the best in them. Make a habit of praising your children at least three times as much as you give them negative feedback. Though it's important to tell your children when they're doing something wrong, it's also important to help them build...

Sometimes the best way to diagnose the types of worm is to document the risk factors for the dog.  Make notes of the dog's environment, climate, and habits.  Be sure to also document the severity and duration of any symptoms of illness and provide the information to your veterinarian if you suspect an infection. If worms or worm parts are visible in the dog's feces or vomit, you may be able to identify the type of worms.  While many worms look similar, each has some distinguishing characteristics that may allow you to pinpoint the worm variety.   Roundworms look a lot like cooked spaghetti noodles. They average 8 - 10cm long, but can reach 18cm in length. They have a round profile and smooth bodies. Tapeworms are distinctive with flattened bodies made up of segments. The length varies with the species but averages from 50 centimeter (19.7 in) to 250cm long.  If you see tapeworms in the feces or vomit, it is likely to be individual segments, not the entire tapeworm. Hookworms and whipworms are much smaller than roundworms or tapeworms.  They are usually between 0.5- 2 cm long and extremely thin, like a strand of thread or hair. Their small size tends to make them appear translucent, and they can be more difficult to see without close examination. Lungworm and heartworms infest blood vessels and either the heart or lungs. This can cause symptoms such as coughing, heavy or rapid breathing, lack of energy, or even collapse and death.   Lungworm and heartworm can interfere with blood clotting and so some dogs show the alarming symptom of uncontrolled bleeding after a minor injury. Any of these signs should prompt an immediate visit to your vet. Though treatments can be costly, prompt treatment is more likely to result in a favorable outcome. A sure sign of tapeworms is egg packets stuck to the dog's fur near his anus. This happens when the mature tapeworms release eggs into the bowel lumen, after which the eggs wriggle out of the dog's anus, which can also cause itchiness around the anal ring.   These egg packets...

Sometimes the best way to get the information you want is to be blunt. Being this way doesn't leave any wiggle room for misinterpretation and gets you a straight answer. For example, invite your friend out to coffee and say, “I'm just wondering if you have feelings for my boyfriend. Some of the things you do and ways you behave make me suspicious.” Your friend may get their feelings hurt, but it's better to know. You will have to become more direct if they don't get the hint or they continue their behavior. Your friendship is compromised anyways because of their flirting, so telling them to stop talking to your man won't do additional harm. For example, you can say, “I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or if you don't realize you're flirting, but it's making me uncomfortable and I want you to stop.” Try to say this to them when you are alone. Making a scene in front of people will only make the situation worse. Stop bringing your friend around your boyfriend or end the relationship with them all together if the flirting doesn't stop. It's clearly not a good friendship in the first place if your friend doesn't respect you or your relationship enough to back off.

Sometimes the dentist is able to reattach the portion of tooth that broke off, so you should save it if you can. Take the shard and put it in a container with milk or saliva to keep it from rotting. Then bring it with you when you visit the dentist. You should never try to reattach the portion of tooth yourself. Not only will this not work without proper equipment, but you'll cause severe pain for yourself if you poke an exposed nerve. Your mouth is full of bacteria, and any injuries can get infected easily. To help stave off infection, rinse your mouth with a salt water solution when you know you've broken a tooth.  Mix 1 tsp of salt into 1 cup of warm water. Swish the mixture around your mouth for 30 to 60 seconds.Concentrate on the injured area. Be sure not to swallow any of the mixture. Repeat this rinse after meals. If you've damaged your tooth badly, the pain can be severe. You can treat it with OTC pain relievers until you go to the dentist and get it fixed. Ibuprofen products like Motrin and Advil are usually preferred over acetaminophen because ibuprofen also reduces swelling in addition to treating pain. But if ibuprofen isn't available, take an acetaminophen product like Tylenol. Sometimes a chip in the tooth will produce a jagged edge that could cut your tongue or gums. To prevent damage to your mouth, cover the edge with dental wax. You an purchase this in the oral care aisle of most pharmacies. Alternatively, you could also cover the edge with a piece of sugar-free chewing gum. It's possible that you won't be able to see your dentist for several days after you crack your tooth. In this case, you'll have to eat before your appointment. Take the following measures to reduce pain and prevent further damage when eating.  Stick with soft foods. The cracked tooth is weakened and susceptible to further damage. Hard foods could make the crack worse and cause pain. Opt for soft foods like pudding, soup, and oatmeal until your doctor performs the necessary work. Don't eat anything especially hot or cold....

Sometimes the hardest part is figuring out where the smell is coming from. Often, the culprit is where you've dragged gasoline in on your shoes or where gas has spilled out of a can in the back. Use your nose to sniff out the likely source of the smell. If the spill is new, press a cloth on the spill to get up as much gasoline as you can. It's best to use old rags, as you likely won't want to keep them once you're done. Once you've soaked up as much as you can, let the sun do the rest. Leave the car open in a sunny spot, so it will dry out the spot and draw the gasoline into the air. Try to leave it open for at least 4 to 5 hours.

Sometimes the hardest part of talking to people is figuring out how to start the conversation. This can be particularly intimidating when you want to talk to someone that you have not previously met. To strike up a conversation with a new person, try to find some common ground.  For example, if you are waiting in line at your neighborhood coffee shop, you could say to the person in front of you, "What's good here? I've never tried any of their specialty drinks." You can also comment on the situation. Try saying, "Isn't it nice out today?". If the person responds in a favorable tone, you can follow up with some more specific comments. Another conversation starter is making a comment about the person you want to talk to. You could say, "I really love that bag you're carrying." Look for someone who is not otherwise occupied and has a friendly expression. For example, if you are standing in line and someone makes eye contact with you, offer a smile and an opening question. Avoid trying to start a conversation with someone who is speaking to someone else or who is actively engaged in a task.  At a party, a good place to start a conversation is near the food table or bar. These things provide natural conversation starters, such as "Have you tried the spinach dip?" or "Can you show me how to use this wine opener?" If you are having trouble mingling at a party, head towards the kitchen. This is often a gathering space, and you can join in the crowd by helping to mix drinks or set out snacks. The same rules apply when deciding when to approach a co-worker. Wait until they are not obviously engaged with someone else. Lunch is an ideal time to start a conversation. Maybe you want to talk to someone you've met, but you don't know how to break the ice. One effective approach is to ask that person something about themselves. Questions are a great way to get the conversational ball rolling.  If you want to chat to a colleague in the cafeteria, questions are a good way to start. Try saying, "How was your weekend? Did you...

Sometimes the hardest part of working out is taking the first step. If you’re finding it hard to get started, try bargaining with yourself. Tell yourself you just have to put on your workout clothes, but you don’t have to do anything else. After that, try telling yourself to just go outside and stretch, do your warm-up routine,  or drive to the gym. Most people think of activities like running or lifting weights when they think of working out, but as long as you’re being active, you’re making yourself healthier. Find an activity you really love, like rock climbing, swimming, or dancing, and make that your workout.  Even just a quick dance party in your living room a couple of times a day can help you get in better shape! Other examples of fun workouts might include Tai Chi, Zumba, parkour, or even joining an amateur sports team! If you do the exact same thing every day, whether it’s running around the block or doing the same workout video, you’ll start to get bored. You may stop seeing the same results once your body is used to the exercise, and this can affect your motivation. Try to change up your workout routine to keep challenging yourself. You might want to run one day, lift weights another, and go swimming on the weekends, for example. You can use this journal to keep up with your progress, too. When you don’t feel like working out, take out the journal and read how good each workout made you feel, and look at how far you’ve come. One of your journal entries might read, “I finally beat my best time on running a mile! I feel excited and strong, but I think I can still go faster!”

Sometimes the problem isn't us -- it's the people around us. In the nicest way possible, of course. Part of the issue could be that you just don't jive with the people around you. Maybe an older (or younger) age group, different demographic, etc., would be more up your alley. These people could bring out a side of you that is more talkative and, quite frankly, enjoys people more. Think about it. Test this theory out by joining a club. Anything that is a small class where you could get to know a group of like-minded people could show you that it's not everyone who makes you clam up -- it is just certain types of people. Some people inhibit us and others don't -- find the ones that draw you out. Maybe you're a great listener but not a great talker. Maybe you read a lot instead of partying. Newsflash! Your introverted strengths can be extroverted strengths. The next time an acquaintance is making it quite clear they're having a bad day, go up to them and ask them what's up. Your listening skills will take over. Start a conversation about the book you're reading -- if you didn't know it, extroverts read, too! Odds are if you're truly introverted, you're reflecting a lot, getting in your head, observing and noticing things. If that's the case, you're set: you have an attention to detail that is hard to cultivate organically. Use that. Notice something small and comment on it. People might be taken aback for a split second before a smile erupts on their face that someone finally noticed something about them. Everyone loves that feeling. Once you're in a social situation (which is really half the battle), get to talking. Anything. Anything at all. You obviously have opinions! And if you're uncomfortable stating how you feel, ask questions. Everyone loves it when people seem interested in them. Asking questions is an easy way out. If this is an issue, start talking when you're by yourself. Start talking more around your family and best friends. Sometimes it's hard just getting used to the sound of our own voices....

Sometimes the spirit needs a minute to warm up. You may not get answers right away. Don't give up.  The myths about 'moving the planchette to warm it up' mean nothing. The spirit is the one providing the answers, not the planchette, so slow answers will be nothing to to with the planchette. Some spirits can move the planchette faster than others. Sometimes the planchette moves very quickly and sometimes it moves very slowly. If getting a message out of your planchette is like waiting for dial-up, don't get angry. Wait it out or close the board and resume a little later. If you are speaking to a highly communicative spirit, talk to it! Be friendly. This will encourage him/her to cooperate with you. You may not get the answers you want. This is not the spirit or the board's fault. Getting angry or violent will just ruin the vibe of the board and the room. It's best not to bombard your spirit with questions on the content and length of your next history exam. Start simple, like a normal conversation. Your first questions should have easy, short answers.  How many spirits are in the room? Are you a good spirit? What is your name? The last thing you want to do is stay up all night contemplating your imminent death. If you don't want to know the answer to a question, don't ask it. But if you do choose to ask about your future, take note that it will be jokingly. Just like us mortals, spirits can't see the future. They're messing with you if they tell you your sister is going to die in a week.  Don't ask silly or stupid questions. "What did Billy tell his sister about me?" is not something your spirit may want to waste time on. Not to mention how long it would take to spell the answer out! Don't ask for physical signs. That's just asking for trouble. What's more, those you're communicating with may not be able to follow up. It's best to keep it contained within the Ouija. However, some spirits are ok with asking for proof. It varies. Don't believe everything the board tells you. If it says you're going to die in the...

Sometimes the worst thing you can do is blurt out the first thing that comes to mind when you’re upset; it will most likely be ill-thought out or hurtful to both your mom and you in the long run.  Instead, take a minute (or as much time as you need!) to understand your anger.  Try saying:  “Mom, I’m feeling really frustrated and need a little bit to think about all of this.” “I’m kind of upset right now, but I’d like to keep talking about this later.” When you are mad, it is very important to try to cool down a bit before confronting your mom.  When you feel yourself getting really angry, try one of these ways to calm down:  Calm yourself by repeating soothing things to yourself, such as “You are okay, just calm down” or “Take it easy, everything will be okay.” Leave the situation and go for a walk or a run.  Exercising will help relieve some of the intensity of your anger, and the time away will give you time to think. Try slowly counting to 10 before you speak (or a higher number if you need more time!). Focus on slowing your breathing.  Take slow, deep breaths through your nose, and then slowly exhale out your mouth.  Repeat this until you feel your heart slowing and your anger subsiding. Once the immediate, fiery anger has subsided a bit, determine the outcome you want (to get the car keys, to be allowed to go to the party, more allowance, etc.) and consider ways to discuss this with your mom in a calm way.  Keep in mind compromising goes a long way!  For example, if your mom won’t let you borrow the car, try saying, “I understand that you don’t want me to take the car, but what if I put $20 worth of gas in it before giving it back?” and see what she says.  Try to find a middle ground with her, and be prepared to make a sacrifice to reach a compromise. Try offering to do extra chores around the house, like doing the dishes or cleaning your room. Show your mom you are really trying by doing things without being asked, like helping set the table for dinner or practicing your instrument. When talking with...

Sometimes there are not just thoughts that need to change; there are also bad habits and addictions (which are sometimes one in the same, really). If you have a habit you need to break, whether it's eating too much or being dependent on a drug, start deconditioning yourself by exposing yourself to your trigger and then resisting. It'll be tough, but it'll get easier with each time. And in this manner, you're controlling it. When you control it, you feel a lot better.  Let's say you're trying to quit overeating. In this example, you're at home, and it's around the time you would normally snack. Expose yourself to an aroma or a picture of a food and don't crave. It can be for 30 seconds or it could be for 5 minutes, whatever you think you can handle. The important aspect here is to do it in a normal situation. Plenty of addicts go to rehab and do fine, but eventually relapse into the bad habits. Keep your conditions as normal as possible to make them the most effective. If you're an alcoholic who's trying to quit, it's a good idea to "practice quitting" in a number of different environments and in different situations. Take it one step at a time. Get home from work and don't have that glass of wine. In time, that urge will fall away. Then, move to your local bar, and resist there. That'll become normal, too. Next step, parties. You need to face the trigger in whatever form it can take and learn to conquer it. It's a good idea to do it in different intervals, too. Sometimes cravings will come on stronger, and those are the ones that present the most risk. But if you vary up your reconditioning sessions, your body will start resisting the urge at all times, not just cyclically. Once you've gotten this far, you're almost home free. Now it's time to essentially mime your habit and still not do it. An alcoholic might sit at a bar, pour a drink, and not drink it. An over-eater might cook a meal for their family and watch them enjoy it. When you hit this stage, you officially have power over your mind and your habit....

Sometimes there will be greasy stains, and there will almost always will be feces near an entry point. There is also a characteristic odor. Mark the spot with caulk if it was hard to find, so that you can find it again easily. Start with the interior walls, as it's best to leave a way out for the mice. They may leave your home or apartment for easier pickings elsewhere.   Use spackle or caulk to seal holes that are relatively small. If you have larger holes that can't be fixed with caulk or spackle, you will need to patch your plaster or drywall. This is a bigger job but important, as a mouse can surely fit through a bigger hole. Make sure baseboards are secured and do not have gaps, so that mice can't squeeze out from behind them. If trapped within the walls, mice may chew new holes. This is why it is important to give them a chance to leave before sealing up the exterior entry point. The usual recommendation is to fill holes with steel wool. Unfortunately, steel wool rusts and thus is not a permanent solution. Instead, use green kitchen pads, cut to the right size, or copper scouring pads. The pads must be secured to the sides of the hole or the mice will eventually pull them out. Large holes will need to be repaired. Once you are sure that the interior walls are secure, seal any holes on the exterior of your building. You may use plastic scouring pads, but in some cases, walls may need tuck-pointing or other repairs. After a couple of days, look for evidence of any continuing mouse activity. If there is any, check the holes that you sealed, and look for more holes. Seal as needed. Clean up the area around the entrance. Remove feces and disinfect the area to get rid of the smell. Use a solution of one part bleach and ten parts water to accomplish this.

Sometimes thinning hair is a sign that you aren't getting the nutrients you need. Eating a well-balanced diet is a sure way to start growing thicker, healthier hair.  Make sure you get plenty of protein - eat fish, chicken, legumes, and lean meats.     Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to hair health. Eat nuts, avocados, and olive oil.     Vitamin B is also important when it comes to nourishing your hair. Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Biotin is another essential nutrient for hair growth, found particularly in seafood, eggs and soybeans.    You can buy supplements specifically designed to help you get the nutrients you need to grow thick hair. They usually contain biotin, fish oil, protein, and a range of vitamins. Prenatal vitamins are another good choice when your goal is growing thicker hair. Spending time in the sun, in the pool, and even on your morning commute may be affecting your hair if you aren't taking measures to protect it. Being more mindful of keeping your hair safe - the same way you would your skin - can lead to thicker hair in the long run.  Wear a hat when you'll be in the sun for long periods of time. This way your hair won't get dried out and brittle. Wear a swim cap in the pool, so the chlorine doesn't damage your hair. If chlorine does get on your hair, use a daily clarifying shampoo afterwards to remove it. Try not to spend too much time in polluted areas. If you have to walk next to traffic, wear a scarf or hat. Stress can be a cause of hair loss. Find ways to make your life calmer, and eventually you may find that your hair begins to grow in thicker.  Start meditating. You can't wish your problems away, but meditation helps you figure out how to handle them better.     Get regular exercise. Keeping your body healthy helps destress the mind.     Get plenty of sleep. Sleeping for 8 hours a night is essential to your mental and physical health.

Sometimes this is titled "Procedure" or "Materials and Methods". The purpose of this section is to provide your reader with exactly how you conducted your experiment. Explain all of the materials used and the exact procedure used during the experiment.  The goal here is to make your procedure clear and followable. Someone should be able to repeat your experiment exactly from reading this section. This section is extremely crucial documentation of your methods of analysis. This can simply be a list or a few paragraphs of description. Describe any lab equipment used such as the size, brand, and type. It is often helpful to include a diagram of how these materials were set up. Additionally, explain what you used as your research material.   For example, if you were testing how fertilizer affects plant growth, you would want to state what brand of fertilizer you used, what species of plant you used and brand of seed. Make sure you include the quantity of all objects used in the experiment. Write this in terms of detailed steps. Write down, step by step, a set of detailed instructions on how you did the experiment. Include descriptions of all measurements made and how/when they were recorded. Describe any steps you took to reduce experimental uncertainty. This could be the use of extra controls or restrictions, or precautions.   Remember all experiments involve controls and variables. Describe these here. If you used a published laboratory method, be sure to provide a reference for the original method. Remember the goal of this section is so the reader can repeat exactly what you did in your experiment. No detail should be left out.

Sometimes we can spend so much time worrying about others and how they are feeling that we lose sight of ourselves. Take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions towards pessimism. By focusing on your own happiness and less on others, you take the power away from negativity.  Remind yourself that you are in control. You are in control of how much you let another person’s feelings and thoughts affect you.  For example, even though pessimism is hard to listen to, understand that the other person’s pessimism is a reflection of themselves and you can only control your own feelings. You have the power to dictate what affects how you are feeling. Using logic as a coping resource is associated with higher mental toughness.  Stay positive. Research suggests that optimism may increase mental toughness. This means that your own optimistic outlook can help you combat pessimism and the spill-over from negativity.  Look for some good in everything and remind yourself that anyone can find flaws in anything when looked at closely enough; what's a lot harder is coming up with solutions and positive actions. Instead of seeking to persuade the pessimist verbally with upbeat commentary, simply get on with your positive life and let your behavior and actions do all the talking. If you find yourself feeling down around the pessimist, make a mental list (or even write it down if you wish) of five good things in your life. Think of the items on this list in your head as a sort of "shield" against negativity if you find yourself reacting to it. Actively cultivate positive friendships with other optimistic people. Spending more time around optimists will help raise your mood and reassure you that your state of mind is the right one for you. The individual’s outlook on things isn't her only feature - there are many more complex qualities within a person, so rather than fixating on the negatives, look for the good things. Is she intelligent? Supportive of you? Is she unique enough not to care what anyone else thinks about...

Sometimes we eat at night because we are genuinely hungry, especially if we deprive ourselves of calories throughout the day. Other times, nighttime eating is due to emotional hunger. Identifying whether your nighttime eating is physical or emotional is an important step in dealing with the problem.  Does your hunger come on suddenly or gradually? Emotional hunger is more likely to manifest itself in the form of a sudden craving. Physical hunger comes on gradually.  What kinds of foods are you craving? When you're experiencing emotional hunger, you're more likely to crave sweet or salty comfort foods than something substantial.  Do you eat enough calories during the day? If you're on a calorie restricted diet or if you're skipping meals, then you'll likely experience physical hunger at night. If you've had a full meal earlier, however, your hunger is probably emotional. In order to understand where and why you're overeating at night, keep track of your day and night routine. You can identify factors that encourage nighttime eating.  Are you restricting your caloric intake or skipping meals? If this is the case, you end up thinking about food throughout the day. This encourages you to indulge in mindless snacking at night. Skipping breakfast is especially bad when it comes to encouraging nighttime eating.  Do you do any pre-planning when it comes to dinner? Oftentimes, people hastily throw an unhealthy dinner together that leaves them feeling hungry later on. People also sometimes snack during dinner preparation, meaning they eat less of the substantial meal they cooked and fill up on empty calories. This results in hunger cravings later on.  What is your post-dinner routine like? Oftentimes, people change into their PJ's and end up on the couch on their laptop or watching TV before bed. While nothing is wrong with a little rest and relaxation after a long day, mindless eating often happens during this time. People tend to snack while they watch TV or go online and do not pay much attention to what they're...

Sometimes we may blame others instead of looking at how we contribute to our self-destructive behaviors. It can be difficult dealing with underlying pain due to  a difficult childhood or a difficult marriage where abuse patterns are prevalent, but we can take control of our own lives by addressing our emotional difficulties, helping ourselves, and overcoming our addictions. Our thoughts tend to be linked to our feelings and behaviors. In order words, our perceptions of ourselves and the world dictate how we feel and act.  These ideas are central to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a type of treatment that is commonly used to treat self-destructive behaviors.  Write down the thoughts that you associate with each of your self-destructive behaviors. Ask yourself, “What do I think right before I do this? What thoughts influence and maintain this behavior?” For example, if alcohol use is the problem, one might think, “I'll just have one drink. I really need this drink. I deserve to drink. Nothing bad will happen.” These are the thoughts that encourage a person to consume alcohol. Acknowledge your negative thinking habits. Some of these might include: catastrophizing (thinking the worst will happen), over-generalizing (also known as black and white thinking, where one tends to think something is either all good or all bad), mind-reading (thinking you know what others are thinking), and predicting the future (thinking you know what will happen). For instance, if you believe that another person is thinking something bad about you, this could result in you feeling depressed or angry, which could trigger self-destructive behaviors. If you modify this thinking you can prevent the negative emotion and behavior. If we change our thoughts, our feelings and behaviors will follow. Once you have a complete list of the thoughts, you can begin to challenge these thoughts when they come up. Keep a thought diary.  Identify the situation, feeling, and thought. Then identify ideas that support the thought, and ideas that do not...

Sometimes wheels don't work because they're caked with dirt or debris. Clean with a damp cloth and look for anything wedged in the wheel to make sure it needs to be replaced. You may find that a thorough cleaning the wheels and removing anything lodged in them fixes the problem. Washing the wheels also gives you a clean surface to work with as you replace them. Choose a surface where your luggage can lie down evenly while you work on it—a table or countertop is ideal. Flip your luggage with the wheels facing up so you can get a clear look at the wheel while you work on it. If you have to make an emergency replacement while on the go, lying the luggage on the ground can work as well. Screwed and riveted luggage wheels are replaced differently. Screwed wheels are attached by a small screws on both sides, whereas riveted wheels are bolted on through the center. Knowing what type your wheels are will help you purchase the right repair materials. Your replacement wheel will attach and work best if it's the same type as the original wheel. If you're not sure what model your luggage wheel is, contact its manufacturer for details.  Buying the wrong sized wheel can make installation impossible or cause the luggage to tilt from the uneven wheel sizes. You can also use roller blade wheels as an alternative to replacement wheels. Look for roller blade wheels that are approximately the same size as your old wheel.

Sometimes when investors say that they want to calculate the "dividend" on their stocks, what they're actually referring to is the "dividend yield." The dividend yield is the percentage of your investment that a stock  will pay you back in the form of dividends. Dividend yield can be thought of as an "interest rate" on a stock. To get started, you'll need to find the current price per share of the stock you're analyzing.  For publicly-traded companies (Apple, for instance), you can find the latest stock price by checking the website of any major stock index (e.g., NASDAQ or S&P 500)  Keep in mind that the share price of a company's stock can fluctuate based on the company's performance. Thus, estimations for the dividend yield of a company's stock can be inaccurate if the stock's price suddenly moves significantly. Find the most recent DPS value of the stock you own. Again, the formula is DPS = (D - SD)/S where D = the amount of money paid in regular dividends, SD = the amount paid in special, one-time dividends, and S = the total number of shares of company stock owned by all investors. As noted above, you can typically find D and SD on a company's cash flow statement and S on its balance sheet. As an additional reminder, a company's DPS can fluctuate with time, so you'll want to use a recent time period for the most accurate results. Finally, divide your DPS value by the price per share for the stock you own to find your dividend yield (or, in other words, use the formula DY = DPS/SP). This simple ratio compares the amount of money you are paid in dividends to the amount of money you had to pay for the stock to begin with. The greater the dividend yield, the more money you'll earn on your initial investment. For example, let's say that you own 50 shares of company stock and that you bought these shares at a price of $20 per share. If the company's DPS in recent time periods has been roughly $1, you can find the dividend yield by plugging your values into the formula DY = DPS/SP; thus, DY = 1/20 = 0.05 or...

Sometimes when we feel threatened by prejudice or discrimination we can want to hide ourselves from the world so that no more harm can be done to us. Hiding and concealing your identity may be a self-protective measure, but also may increase stress and negative reactions to prejudice.  Know who you are and accept yourself regardless of what you believe others think about you.  Identify who you can trust with your personal information and be open around these individuals. Group solidarity can help people be more resilient against prejudice and protect against mental health issues. Any kind of group will do, but it will be especially helpful if you join a group that matches your uniqueness (such as a Women’s group, LGBT group [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender], African American group, Religion-based group, etc.). This can help you be emotionally resilient (less angry or depressed and more in control) in the face of prejudice. If you have experienced prejudice or discrimination, social support can be crucial in coming to terms with these issues and healing from them. Family support can help reduce the negative mental health effects of prejudice. Talk with your close family or friends about the injustice you have experienced. If you have experienced prejudice or discrimination in the past it is understandable that you would be wary of experiencing this again. However, expecting for others to be prejudiced against you, or thinking others will act a certain way can lead to increased stress.  Don’t expect to be rejected. Try to look at each situation and interaction as a new experience. Expecting that others with be prejudiced against you can become a prejudice in itself. Try not to generalize and label others as a certain way (including as prejudiced, judgmental, racist, etc.). Remember that if you pre-judge people and expect them to be prejudiced, then you may be the one with the bias. Some people may have negative ways of coping with prejudice, including aggressive behaviors or unnecessary confrontations....

Sometimes when we're stressed, bored, depressed or angry, we may have feelings of hunger.  But in fact, these are just strong emotions that may be triggering hunger-like signals.  To figure out if you're experiencing real, physical hunger ask yourself:  When is the last time I ate?  If it's been more than four to five hours, you might be physically hungry. Is it close to a regular eating time? Did I skip a meal today? Am I experiencing typical hunger signals?  These include: empty or pit feeling, stomach growling, or stomach pangs. Having some zen time is another effective way to curb food cravings. Taking deep breaths from your belly area will fill your stomach with air and can calm you down.  A recent study says that meditation makes you a more “mindful” eater because you become more in tune with your hunger signals and are in turn less likely to eat out of boredom.  If you get hunger pangs, close your eyes and focus on your breath until the feelings pass.  You can also try walking meditation.  It's an active form of meditation that can help you focus, calm down and get you away from a craving food. A good sweat session not only burns calories and helps you consume less of them, but it also can suppress your appetite for up to two hours. By upping your workouts and adding some interval training, you can activate the hormones that will make you feel fuller and not crave food.  Aerobic exercise lowers levels of a chemical called ghrelin and also increases the amount of another appetite-suppressing hormone in your body.  Adding intervals, or short bursts of speed, to your cardio workout will maximize the hunger-dampening effect.  If you are hungry after a workout, try drinking a glass of water. Often hunger pangs are a sign of thirst. When a craving or desire to eat hits, it can be difficult to distract yourself from the idea.  Writing up a list of other activities that you can do to help distract yourself can be helpful.  You can try:  Listening to music Reading a book or magazine Doing household chores...

Sometimes when you're writing a date, you also want to include the day of the week that date falls on. As with the months of the year, the days of the week are not capitalized in Spanish as they are in English.  Sunday is domingo. Monday is lunes. Tuesday is martes. Wednesday is miércoles. Thursday is jueves. Friday is viernes. Saturday is sábado. When you're writing about a particular date, or especially about several dates, you may find it more convenient to use other words such as "today" or "tomorrow." These words make your writing seem more natural and easy to understand.  For "today," write "hoy." Yesterday is ayer, while "tomorrow" in Spanish is "mañana." The word for "week" in Spanish is "semana." If you want to write "the weekend," you would write "el fin de semana." Refer to "this week" as "esta semana" and "last week" as "la semana pasada." If you want to write about "next week," use the phrase "la semana que viene," which literally translated means "the week that comes." When you're writing about a date, you also might find it relevant to talk about the season in which that date falls. Keep in mind that south of the equator, the seasons are the opposite of those north of the equator.  Write "la primavera" to refer to spring. Use "el verano" to write about the summer. Write "el otoño" when writing about autumn. Use "el invierno" when you're writing about winter. The question "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?" is used when you need to know what the date is. For example, if you were writing a story in Spanish, you might need to have a character ask the date. You can also ask "¿Qué día es hoy?" You typically use this question, which means "what day is today?", when you want to know what day of the week it is. But it also can be used in some circumstances to ask for the date, similarly to English.

Sometimes you can figure out what's causing your dog's allergic reaction simply by identifying where the itchy rash develops. The condition of your dog's skin and fur also give you an idea of how severe the reaction is.  For example, if your dog has a rash around its paws, it may be allergic to grass or something else it comes into contact with when walking outside. A rash around your dog's rump may indicate that your dog is allergic to fleas. These areas are where fleas tend to bite most often. If you suspect your dog has allergic dermatitis, a veterinarian can help you ensure that your pet gets proper treatment. While it is possible to treat allergic dermatitis at home, it's still important to have a vet examine your dog for other health issues or secondary infections. The veterinarian will also rule out any other potential causes of your dog's rash, apart from a possible allergy. The veterinarian will need to know as much as possible about your dog's food and environment so they can figure out potential causes of your dog's rash.  If your dog has had problems with rashes or itching in the past, let the veterinarian know. If you found a treatment that worked to eliminate a rash or itching in the past, tell the veterinarian what you did. Also, consider if there is a pattern to when your dog tends to have symptoms, such as if the itching is worse in the summer and improves during the winter. Once the veterinarian has a good idea what's causing your dog's allergic dermatitis, they may want to do a blood or skin test to confirm their diagnosis. While allergy tests can be expensive, they can help you better determine the proper treatment options for your dog.  Allergy tests sometimes give false positives. Most veterinarians won't rely on an allergy test exclusively to make a diagnosis. However, an allergy test can confirm a diagnosis a veterinarian is already fairly confident of. Keep in mind that your vet will likely need to run additional tests to rule out other causes of itchiness, such as parasitic disease.

Sometimes you can raise your grade in a class by doing extra credit. You can try asking your professor for an additional paper or assignment to earn extra points. Keep in mind that many professors, however, do not offer extra credit. Consider asking, "Dr. Toothman, do you offer extra credit? Perhaps I could write another paper to earn some extra points." This can be a feasible solution if your professor is open to the idea. Ask the professor if you can take a second shot at the assignment. For example, you can ask to write a new paper on the same or a similar topic. You could say, “Mrs. Alderman, would you allow me to retake the exam?” You should think carefully before appealing your grade at a higher level. Unless the professor made a clear mistake, those above them will support the original grade. If you truly believe you can make a strong case for a grade change, make sure you follow the appropriate chain of command. Ask your university’s office of student affairs about the proper procedure. Unless the professor made an obvious mistake while calculating your grade, it is in your best interest to let it go. Pursuing an unwarranted grade change will not put you in a favorable light with the professor. More importantly, the effort you spend pursuing a grade change can be better spent on studying.

Sometimes you can stop the flow of tears by redirecting your attention onto something else. For example, you could change your focus by doing some simple math problems in your head. Add up small numbers or go over the times table in your head will distract your from what is making you feel upset and help you calm down. Alternatively, you could try to think of the lyrics to your favorite song. Remembering the words and singing the song in your head will take your mind off whatever is bothering you. Try to imagine the words to a happy or funny song so you give yourself a mental pick-me-up. While it may seem hard to do in the face of whatever is making you want to cry, thinking of something funny can really help you overcome your tears. Think of something that has made you laugh really hard in the past--a funny memory, a scene from a movie, or a joke you heard once. Try to smile when thinking of this funny thing. Giving yourself a mental pep-talk when you feel like you are on the verge of tears can help you overcome your desire to cry. Tell yourself that it is okay to feel sad, but that you cannot feel sad right now. Remind yourself of the reasons you cannot cry at that moment--you don’t want to cry in front of people you don’t know, or you want to be strong for someone else, etc. Tell yourself that you will let yourself feel sad, but that you need to hold it together for that moment.  Remember that you are a great person, who has friends and family who love you. Think of what you have achieved in your life, as well as what you hope to achieve in the future. But if you do that it will make you cry more!! Research has shown that using positive self-talk has many health benefits beyond easing distress. It can also expand your life, enhance your immunity to the common cold, reduce your chances of developing depression, improve your ability to deal with difficult situations, and reduce your chances of dying from a heart attack. The worst thing you could do would be to dwell upon whatever is making you want to cry,...

Sometimes you can't put a physical barrier up to keep your cat out of a room. In this case, you will need to make the room uncomfortable for it to be in. Make loud noises whenever it enters the room or shoo it away. Note that if you do this, the cat may associate the noise with you and start to avoid you.  You can even employ stronger methods in some cases. For example, spill a small amount of water on the floor of your bathroom if you don't want your cat in there. A cat may hate to get its feet wet on any excess water on the floor. Another example is to make sure the cat has nowhere to hide in a room. Sometimes a cat likes going under beds or in corners to feel safe. With this type of cat you can block off access to under the bed or any other hiding spaces. This will make your cat uncomfortable in the room. Every time it goes near the room, have a spray bottle ready to spray a little water at it. This will make sure it knows that its actions are unacceptable. However, only use this method if you are prepared to accept damaging your relationship with the cat. It is highly likely the cat will associate the water spray with you, the sprayer, rather than the room. Thus, the cat is more likely to flee and not want to spend time in your company. You simply place the device in the doorway to the room and let it deter your cat from the area. Put a small amount of vinegar at the room's entrance or in areas of the room. This usually helps, as most cats hate the odor of vinegar. This advice is anecdotal, however, as some people find it helps while for others it makes no difference. Alternatively, fill a spray bottle halfway with vinegar. Fill the other half with lime or lemon juice. Spray at the entrance to the room and on beds and other places the cat usually goes. This will deter many cats from scratching on furniture or spending time in the room. If you go this route, the vinegar spray needs fairly constant reapplication. Make a different room more comfortable for the cat. Make another room cat-appealing so the cat...

Sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt: you might think that they hate you but they might be honestly trying to be nice to you. For example, when people invite you to parties, really consider going instead of just brushing the invitation aside because you don't think they're serious. Even when someone's making you mad, thank them for their effort to help or their suggestions. They usually mean well and being a jerk or ungrateful isn't going to make you feel any better. Just be nice and wait until they go on their way. Really, sometimes thanking someone is the fastest way to get them to shut up. When you're trying to connect with people, start by being honest. Say what you really mean instead of trying to dance around the subject or be passive aggressive. If you're uncomfortable with people, set limits on your interactions in order to keep yourself protected. For example, if they're always wanting to do things but you're not that social, tell people you're only available at certain times and on certain days (no exceptions). If someone that you have to spend time with is wanting to discuss topics that make you uncomfortable, let them know when you don't want to talk about a subject. When trying to excuse yourself from a topic, use words like "I feel". People will usually be more respectful when you directly say how something makes you feel bad. Sometimes people just need to be seen and feel like you really understand them. If someone keeps bothering you, let them say what they really want to say. Let them talk about what's bothering them. This might give them the release they need in order to go back to business as usual. Sometimes we say things without really thinking about what those words really mean or how they might make someone else feel. Has someone ever said something to you that made you really upset? It can feel pretty bad and stick with you for a long time. It's even worse when they don't feel bad about it! Think about the things you say before you say them, and try to think of...

Sometimes you just have to let it out and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Crying is a completely natural thing that everyone--really everyone--does. Even if you keep yourself from crying in the moment, you will need to let yourself feel sad at some point. Find a quiet place where you can be alone and let yourself have a good, long cry.  Allowing yourself to cry may even benefit your mental and physical health. Crying can help your body to release toxins. After a good cry you may also find that you feel happier and less stressed.  Keep in mind that crying is a sign of mental strength, not weakness. Taking time to think about what is making you cry or feel like crying is important. Once you find the reason behind your tears, you will be able to analyze it more fully and come up with a solution or a way to make yourself feel better. Think about what is happening that is making you feel like crying. Is there a specific person or situation that is making you feel this way? Has something recently happened that is making you feel sad, such as a breakup or the death of a loved one? Or is there another reason that you keep finding yourself fighting off tears? If you cannot determine the cause of your tears on your own, consider speaking with a therapist for help. If you cry a lot or often feel like crying, you may be depressed and need to be treated for depression. Writing your thoughts down will help you to sort them out and feel better. Journaling can also help you to deal with stress, anxiety, and depression. For best results, set aside a few minutes every day to write about your thoughts and feelings. You can structure your journal any way that you like and write about whatever you want. If a specific person has made you want to cry, try writing them a letter. Writing down what you feel can often be easier than saying your thoughts out loud. Even if you don’t give the person the letter, you will feel better after having expressed what you have been feeling and thinking. After you have let yourself...
