When you first purchase leather sandals or other footwear, you can apply spray to the outer leather parts to make them water-resistant and stain-resistant. To prevent the spray from getting in the sandal footbed, stuff the sandal with crumpled newspaper before spraying. Leather discolors if it becomes wet, and saturating your sandals can also lead to odor problems.  Choose synthetic materials for your rainy-day footwear, such as rainboots or rubber flip-flops. If you want to wear your fancy leather sandals for a special occasion, stash them in your purse or backpack and change when you're inside where it is dry. Be sure to let your sandals air out completely if they do happen to become wet. Place them in a warm, sunny, and dry place until dry. Don't leave them in direct sunlight, though, as that can dry out the leather and lead to cracking. A window is a good location. During hot weather, dirt, dust, or sand often gets trapped inside sandals. When the dirt combines with your natural foot sweat, it can create a very stinky situation. This can be particularly noxious in humid climates, where moisture in the air contributes to the wet, warm environment in your shoes. This is why people who don't typically have smelly feet might suddenly develop foot odor in the summertime.  Wear closed shoes like tennis shoes if you will be walking through sand or dirt, like when you go to a playground or beach. If you want to feel the sand in your toes, take your shoes off, and don’t put them back on until you can wash your feet properly. Be consistent in keeping dirt out of your shoes. It only takes one time for dirt to get into your shoes and create a stink problem, especially if your shoes have a fabric footbed that is hard to clean. This might seem like a no brainer, but sometimes stinky shoes are caused by stinky feet, and the only way to address the smell is to take better care of the feet that go in the shoes!  Clean your feet with soap and water every day when you get home from school or work, and again before bed at...

When you first purchase your pigeon, it's recommended that you keep it indoors, because this will help you bond with it. Because the pigeon doesn’t have any companions, it is important that you be in close proximity to provide company. Your kitchen is not a suitable room to keep your pigeon because the fumes given off by non-stick frying pans are toxic to them. For the first few days, allow the pigeon to adjust - don't touch him, but talk frequently and stay nearby the cage. Slowly build up to petting the pigeon gently. Allow him to come out of the crate, preferably in an enclosed space such as a small room. If you repeat this daily, your pigeon will become calmer, and eventually you will be able to handle it. Spend time every day handling your pigeon; this will allow you to bond.  Pigeons can carry diseases that can be transmitted to people such as psittacosis. So if you or someone in your house has a weak immune system, consider checking in with your physician to make sure it is OK to share the same air space as a pigeon. Washing your hands after handling the pigeon because pigeons are associated with carrying salmonella. Do not keep pigeons in close proximity to cats and dogs. Pigeons can live inside, but they enjoy living outside even more. It's recommended you build an enclosure to keep your pigeon in. Consult with the breeder as to whether your pigeon is capable of free flight. Pigeons are monogamous and will mate with a significant other for life. However, they can also be territorial. To prevent confrontations, introduce the pigeons to one another slowly, keeping one inside to acclimate to its surroundings and become comfortable.

When you first set up your fish tank, you’re going to need to let the water sit for at least a few weeks before showing the place to any prospective goldfish occupants. This time is necessary to help build up beneficial bacteria, a process outlined in this section.  Be patient during this process! Let’s face it: goldfish poop a lot. And they hate swimming around in their own poop. You would too.  Their poop will build up dramatically in your fish tank’s water (even with plenty of water changes), which will both enrage and sicken your goldfish.   To curb this buildup, change 25-50% of the tank’s water once a week.  When changing some of the tank’s water, rinse the filter and any tank décor with water your remove from the tank.  Never use tap water.  Healthy bacteria that you want to preserve live on and in these items. Only add clean water that you’ve treated with conditioner. You also need to regularly cycle the fish tank, which means changing 100% of the tank’s water. The goal in cycling your fish tank is to allow it to rebuild colonies of helpful bacteria, which collect mostly on the filter and in the gravel. These bacteria help your water cycle nitrogen, which is necessary to keep your fish alive.  Once your tank is setup and ready to go, with the filter running, add ammonia.  Continue adding ammonia until enough bacteria have developed to eat both the ammonia and nitrites in your tank. There are various forms of ammonia, which is most readily available in bottled form.  Follow the directions on the bottle. Determine your levels of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates by using test kits designed for this purpose. Maintain the process until you get readings that indicate zero ammonia and zero nitrite.  Once you also find a bit of nitrate in the water (which is produced by the bacteria), your tank has been successfully cycled.

When you first start Camtasia, you will be taken to the Editor window. This is where the meat and potatoes of the Camtasia program can be found. You will use the Editor to start your recording and then clean it up after you are finished. This is located in the upper-left corner of the Camtasia window. Clicking the button will automatically minimize the Camtasia Editor window and open the control panel for the screen recording. If you are going to be switching between multiple windows, you will find it easiest to record your entire screen. Full Screen recording is enabled by default.  You can create a custom-sized recording area by clicking the Custom button. A dashed line will appear around the area that will be recorded. If you want to use your webcam, enable it by clicking the Webcam button. If you have multiple microphones connected to your computer, click the down arrow next to the "Audio" button to select the one you want to use. Use the Audio menu to toggle system sounds on or off. If toggled On, system alerts and beeps will be recorded with your presentation. If you are using a microphone, speak into it before recording to see the level appear underneath the volume slider. Adjust the volume slider until the input comes out around the middle of the slider. Before you begin recording, open all of the windows that you will need to access during the presentation. This will keep you from fumbling to find the window that you need. Take a deep breath, and press the REC button or the F9 hotkey. A countdown will appear on the screen. Once it disappears, everything that you do on the screen and everything you say will be recorded. Speak slowly and clearly, and don't rush through your steps. Once you are finished with your presentation, press F10 to stop the recording. You can also stop it from the taskbar, but this action will be recorded and will need to be edited out.  Once you finish recording, a preview of your recorded presentation will appear. Watch the preview to make sure everything looks OK, and then...

When you first start dating, it is natural to think that you need to go on 5-6 dates with someone you ask out. But if you do not feel a connection with someone then you should feel free to move on. Dating is supposed to be a fun way to get to know someone better, it is not a commitment to marriage or a relationship. If you don't want to keep dating, be polite and honest and break things off quickly. Never lie or ignore people you don't want to see, as this often creates more problems. Simply saying, "I had a lot of fun the other night, but I think I'd like to stay friends," should be enough. You don't need to jump right into a relationship, but if you feel like you have a connection with someone then you should invite the person out again. If you're really into someone aim to go out for food, see a movie, go for a walk, or meet for coffee 1-2 times a week and see how things develop. Again, remember to keep things casual to begin. Meeting your parents, for example, usually happens many months down the line in a relationship. The rush of love is hard to overcome, but both you and your partner will be thankful if you slow down the relationship and get to know each other naturally. Avoid making huge plans for the future together or seeing each other every single night. While intimacy is not a bad thing, rushing into a physical relationship can lead to hurt feelings and complications if both partners are not on the same page. While you might want to spend your entire life with someone after a date, take your time understand your feelings before launching head over heels.  Respect their privacy and history -- you don't need to know all of their exes on the second date. Spend nights at your own houses and avoid lots of early sleep-overs. You can always get serious later-- it is much harder to slow things down. If you really enjoy someone's company, you need to build a rapport that reaches beyond the latest Game of Thrones episode. Building trust requires a little vulnerability from both parties, but the reward is...

When you first started this relationship, trust was not immediate. Trust has to be earned over time. It is natural that when trust is broken, it will take some time to repair.  Try not to rush the process. Acknowledge that the other person might need time to start trusting you again. State your point. Try saying, "I know that this process might take time. I understand. Take all of the time you need." Try not to dwell on the situation. It's important, but once you have apologized and started taking steps to repair the trust, you don't need to think about the situation constantly. If you are trying to repair a personal relationship, it might feel like a very complicated process. You are likely going to feel a wide range of emotions. Remember that the other person might be emotional, too.  It is normal for you to feel guilt, grief, sadness, and frustration. Give yourself permission to feel a wide range of emotions. Acknowledge your emotions and move on. Say to yourself, "Today I'm feeling pretty guilty. But I know I'm taking steps to fix it, so I can't be too hard on myself." Understand that your friend is probably experiencing a wide array of emotions. They might be hurt, angry, or sad. That is normal. When trust has been compromised, it is possible to repair the relationship. However, it is important to understand that the dynamics might change. Be prepared to have a different relationship than before.  Maybe you have violated your boss's trust. Be prepared to accept a lower level of responsibility at work for a while. If you have compromised the trust in your romantic relationship, you might not be as close as you were before. Your partner might not trust you with intimate feelings for a while. Perhaps you are dealing with a damaged friendship. You might have to accept the fact that your friendship is more superficial than it was before. If you break someone's trust, there is a good chance that you can make amends. But you should know that the relationship might be damaged beyond repair. Try to mentally...

When you flush a standard toilet, the handle pulls up a chain, which raises a flush valve. This flush valve then releases at least two gallons (about 7.5 litres) of water from the tank into the bowl in about three seconds, which triggers the siphon to suck the contents of the bowl down the drain and into a sewer system or septic tank. However, contrary to popular belief, the tank is not the most important part of a toilet's technology. In fact, you could detach the tank from the toilet and pour two gallons of water into the bucket by hand, and the toilet would still flush. This type is the most common type in North America. These toilets use the weight and height of the water in the tank to facilitate a flush. The tank then refills via a small gushing pipe (usually plastic) until a float shuts off the flow. If any water does happen to flow a little higher from gushing, hand-motion inside, or even an earthquake, a narrow overflow tube handles any overflow problems. So, as long as the toilet is functioning properly, no water should spill outside of the porcelain tank. This type is the staple toilet, simple, effective, and durable. The flushing sound for gravity assisted toilets also isn't particularly loud and they are easy to repair. However, if you have a lot of people using your toilet (say, a large family) or are going to be putting a lot of wear on the toilet's flush system, gravity-assisted toilets may not have enough power to flush consistently, after every use. Think about purchasing a standard gravity-assisted toilet if you have a small family or a bathroom that will be getting minimal use. Unlike gravity assisted, pressure-assisted toilets have an ‘active’ rather than a passive mechanism. This type adds pressure to the force of gravity by supplying more force than the traditional unit. Water displaces air inside a sealed cylindrical tank, usually made of metal or plastic, inside the larger ceramic tank, helping to generate a larger force. However, because the water in the tank is held under pressure,...

When you forget a pill, take the pill as soon as you remember and take the next pill at the regular time. Certain combination pills, especially multiphasic pills, may have additional instructions that you should follow.  For most pills, if you don’t remember until the next day, you should take two pills on that day.  If you forget your pill for two days, take two pills on the first day you remember and two pills on the next day.  If you forget a pill at any time during your cycle, you should use a backup form of contraception (such as condoms) until you finish the pill pack. If you forgot a pill during the first week of a pack, you may need to use emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy. If you take progestin-only pills (instead of the more common combination pill), it is extremely important to take it at the same time every day. Even a few hours off can allow you to become pregnant. If you are not sure what to do if you have missed a pill, or if you want to know whether you need to consider emergency contraception, contact your doctor. Tell them exactly what happened (how many pills you forgot, for how many days, etc.). How you treat missing or forgetting a pill varies depending on the pill you’re taking, so contacting your doctor is always a good idea. Use another method of birth control if you are sick and experiencing vomiting or diarrhea because the pill may not stay in your digestive tract long enough to be effective.  If you vomit or have diarrhea within four hours of taking a pill, it is likely to be ineffective at protecting from pregnancy. Use a backup form of birth control just as you would for a missed pill. If you suffer from an eating disorder and use vomiting or laxatives, an oral contraceptive is unlikely to be effective. Use a backup form of contraception. Consult with your doctor or a mental health professional for help.

When you form a friendship with him, it is okay to create reasons to get together. The more time you spend with him, the better. He may not be interested in you yet, but you should take this time to comfortably show him your personality and truly get to know him. This part is very important and only possible if you’re friends with him. Mention his crush in a conversation and see what he says. Don’t settle for answers about how physically attractive she is. There must be more to her that he is attracted to you and you have to find out what those traits are. Don’t speak poorly of her. You may think that this will make her look bad, but you’ll be the one looking bad in the end. If you speak poorly of her, he’ll think you’re a negative person. Plus, guys love a supportive girl. If you’re bashing his opinions, you’re only hurting yourself. While you don’t want to speak poorly of his current crush, you can start to get his mind out of that relationship by talking him up. Tell him that he’s the full package and that he deserves the best. Tell him not to settle and that he should go after someone that he is friends with because the relationship will be stronger if that connection is already existent. While you’re still in the “friend zone,” it is a great time to show him your playful side. Guys like a girl that laughs at his jokes. They are intrigued by girls that aren’t always serious about everything.

When you format a computer, you will lose all of your files and data. The programs can’t be backed up; they will need to be reinstalled. Any files—including documents, music, pictures, and videos—that you want to save need to be copied to a backup location. You can use DVDs, CDs, external hard drives, flash drives, or the cloud, depending on how much data you have to backup. While the computer is rebooting, hold down the Command + R keys. This will open the Recovery menu. Select Disk Utility and click Continue. Select your hard drive from the left frame in the Disk Utility. Select the Erase tab. In the Format dropdown menu, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Enter any name you would like and then click Erase.  All of the data will be deleted from the disk at this point. Make sure you have properly backed up any important files. Close Disk Utility after the Erase process is complete. Verify that you are connected to a network and select Reinstall Mac OS X. You will need to verify your license by entering your Apple ID and password. You will also need to accept the license agreements. The installer will prompt you to select a disk to install the OS to. Select the disk that you just erased using Disk Utility. Mac OS X will begin installing itself, and requires no input from the user. The computer may reboot during the installation process. After installation is complete, the desktop appears.

When you get a new product, such as a chemical peel or even just a facial cleanser, it's important to patch test it first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Patch testing just means you use a small amount on part of your skin to see how you react.  In other words, you don't want to rub something all over your face or body and break out in hives everywhere. It's best to limit the area at first.  You should also skin test other products, such as shampoos, conditioner, and hair dyes. Basically, if you have sensitive skin, you should skin test any product that comes in contact with your skin. Your inner arm is a good place to test because generally that skin is fairly sensitive. In addition, it won't be too noticeable if you do have a reaction.  If the product burns or causes an immediate reaction, wash it off as quickly as possible. If it's a product such as lotion, leave it on your skin. If it's a product like a chemical peel that's meant to be rinsed off, rinse it off at the appropriate time. Wait a full day to see if you have a reaction to the product. A reaction could be your skin turning red, welting up, or showing a rash. You could also have scaliness or oozing skin. Another symptom is itchiness. Next, move to skin testing a more sensitive area. This time, pick a place where the product will be used. For instance, if you are using a facial cleanser, try it just under your ear in a small spot. The reason you need to test it again is because it may affect a more sensitive area of skin even if it doesn't affect your arm. Once again, wait for a full day to see if your skin reacts to the product. If it doesn't, you should be fine to use it.

When you get a text from a guy you like, it is very exciting. You will want to write him back right away. But not so fast! If you make him wait, he’s more likely to chase you.  Wait anywhere from one hour (if it is a direct and specific question) to one day (if it just a casual "hello") before responding to a text. You may want to set a timer or a reminder for yourself. When you’re thinking about a special guy, anything can remind you of him. You may be compelled to reach out to him, to mention a song you heard or invite him to do something fun. But instead of initiating conversation with him, wait for him to contact you.  You may want to write down things that you want to say to him. This way, when he initiates conversation, you have a few interesting comments to use. If you are out at a party with a guy that you like, go ahead and flirt with other people. Let the guy you like see you dance with another guy, or put your hand on someone’s shoulder. Let him see you laughing and having fun. This will make him want you more.  Go up to a friend at a party and say something funny. Find extra reasons to stand close to someone, or find reasons to touch them. You will seem more attractive to him if he sees that you don’t need him to stay busy. Find fun ways to spend your time, such as making plans with friends or joining a club, and keep your schedule full. Make him work around your schedule if he wants to spend time with you. If he calls you and wants to go out on Friday night, say “I’d love to, but I have plans that day. Can we do Saturday instead?” When your guy would rather play basketball with his friends than go see a movie with you, don’t let it bother you one bit. Just shrug it off and do something with your friends instead. When he notices that you are giving him plenty of space, he will be drawn to you.  If he makes plans with someone else and you feel upset, choose one person to talk about it with (someone who you trust) and then let it go. Make sure he is not blowing you off or ditching you. If you had...

When you get anxious, your breathing quickens, which reduces the amount of oxygen your brain gets. This makes it more difficult to think clearly and form logical reasoning. Take a moment to focus on taking deep belly breaths. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 4 seconds, and then release it for 4 seconds. Doing this for 1-2 minutes should help to calm your nerves quickly. If you are confused on where you should be breathing from, put your hands on your stomach. Feel it rise and fall as you breathe. Whether anxiety has just struck or you are chronically anxious, exercising is sure to help. Physical activity releases endorphins which increase happiness, and reduce cortisol - a stress producing hormone. As soon as you start to feel anxiety hit, go workout or take a walk. Aside from immediate treatment, regular exercise will decrease the amount of anxiety you feel over time. Consciously taking your thoughts off of your stressor and focusing them inwards on something peaceful will reduce your anxiety and fear immensely. When anxious thoughts start to hit, retreat inwards and repeat a positive mantra to yourself or pray. Focus entirely on this, and eventually your anxiety will evaporate on its own. Although it may seem silly to link your anxiety to what you ate for breakfast, the foods you eat have a big impact on your mental functioning. Studies have shown a correlation between unhealthy eating and high anxiety and stress. Try to incorporate more fruits, veggies, and whole grains into your daily diet. Get tested to make sure you don’t have any food allergies that may be triggering your anxiety as well - a common experience. Magnesium works in your body to reduce the effects of anxiety from regular worries to panic attacks. If you have a magnesium deficiency, you may be more anxious than you should be. Grab a magnesium supplement from a local health foods store and see if it improves your mood. You don’t have to rely solely on chemical filled medications to relieve your anxiety. Instead, try an all-natural...

When you get homework assignments, schedule in time for each of them. Stick to your schedule, so that you always get your homework done on time. Your homework counts for part of your grade, so turning in your homework is important. However, don't just do enough of the work to pass. Actually take the time to work through the assignment. Your homework and reading is a way to reinforce what you're learning in class, and if you take the time to learn it effectively now, you won't have as much studying to do later. Don't just skim through your textbook. Read each sentence thoroughly, taking in the information. If you have a hard time paying attention, try reading it aloud to yourself or a friend. Take some time to look at what the main ideas are. It may help you to take notes on the main ideas, just so you have a general overview. Plus, writing down will help reinforce the information. Have a folder or binder for each class, and keep your notes, homework, and tests organized by section and date. That way, you know where all the materials on one topic are, and you can pull them out to review later.

When you get ready to ask the guy out, have confidence in yourself. It may seem scary, but don't let fear stop you from going through with it. Without confidence, you may end up giving in to insecurities. Remember, you are awesome and deserve nice things, so keep telling yourself that you can do this! Don't be scared that the guy will not like it if you ask him out. Most guys today are okay with girls asking them out, and if they aren't, they are probably not the guy for you! When you ask him out, make sure you look nice, but not too nice. You don't want to dress up in clothes you don't normally wear to ask him out. Wear clothes similar to what you usually wear when you see him, and keep your makeup and hair like you normally do, too. Don't try to do something different to impress him. Just be your normal, wonderful self! For example, don't put on a dress, fake eyelashes, and tons of makeup if this isn't what you normally wear. This may make you seem too intense or desperate. When you ask him out on a date, make sure to keep it low stakes and casual. Remember, this is a first date and you are still getting to know this guy, just as he's getting to know you. Keeping it casual can put you both at ease and helps you avoid looking desperate or too intense. Try asking him for a casual meal. Say, “Would you like to go get coffee?” or “Would you like to grab lunch with me?” When asking your guy out on a date, try to have a specific date in mind. Saying something like “We should hang out” or “Let's do something sometime” is non-committal and may not lead anywhere. Instead, ask him out to a specific activity so it's clear that you two will be on a date. For example, you may want to say, “Let's grab a smoothie after the gym” or “Let's go to trivia at the local pizza place tomorrow.” Taking the plunge around others, especially his friends, may result in a rejection, even if he is interested in you. Wait until the two of your are alone to ask him out. If he's around his friends, wait until the two of you are apart from...

When you get to a potential camping location, you should give a quick glance around to see if you spot anything dangerous. Chances are you will be camping in a natural woodland area. If this is true, it's a good idea to read up on your location a bit beforehand to see what kind of hazards other people have reported.  Broken trees above can be lethal if they fall on your tent in the tent. It's best to stay clear of anything that looks unstable. Bee hives are hard to spot in a wild area. All the same, the sight of one is a good sign you should stay away. The common sight of animal droppings is an indication that this is an area that gets a lot of animal traffic. Although many animals will steer clear of you, some predators (often bears) will make a target of campsites. It's not recommended that you camp on a day where there's a likelihood of rain in the first place, but just in case, it's a good idea not to set your campsite in a depression in the ground. If it rains, the rain will trickle down and risk flooding your campsite. Tents need a flat space to be set up properly. This is the ground you'll be sleeping on, so it's necessary you find the flattest possible piece of ground within reason. Keep the size of your tent in mind, and accommodate for a space outside the tent gate. Having a hill drop right outside the door is a recipe for injury. Once you've found a relatively flat area that's free of apparent hazards, you should prep the campsite by clearing out debris that could hurt the tent or make the surface uneven. Although broken glass can be legitimately dangerous to camp on, you won't be able to sleep if there are stones on the ground where you're trying to rest. If you're camping out in a relatively wild area, you should be prepared for the possibility of animals. Although most animals will stay clear from humans, bears are a major danger and can be lethal. Seeing a lot of animal droppings can be a sign that you're close to an animal's hunting ground. Although you'll never be able to know for sure, you...

When you get to the hospital, the veterinary team will take appropriate emergency action. Depending on the severity of the injury, your veterinarian may focus on stabilizing vital organs. Once vital signs look stable, your veterinarian will attend to the fractured leg. Your veterinarian will diagnose the type of broken leg. They will tell you what type of fracture it is, such as a complete or an incomplete fracture, transverse (straight) or oblique (diagonal) break. And they should be able to tell you some of the treatment options, which may be surgical or non-surgical.  If it is a closed fracture, they may put your dog’s leg in a cast or a splint. Your vet may perform surgery to insert pins, plates, or screws into the bone to help the broken leg heal. If your dog’s leg is severely broken in multiple places, your veterinarian may suggest amputation. Although this treatment option may sound scary, it could be the most viable option if the injury is very severe. Remember that your dog has four legs and, if necessary, should be able to live a healthy life with three legs.  X rays will be taken to determine the extent of damage.  The amputation surgery may take several hours. When discussing treatment options, you should ask your veterinarian about any differences in cost. Depending on the severity of the break, you could end up paying between $1200 and $3000 in veterinary fees, and sometimes more. Typically, non-surgical treatment with a cast or a splint will be cheaper than surgical options, although there may be more follow up visits with non-surgical options.

When you get to the hospital, your doctor will take x-rays of your wrist to determine how badly your wrist has been fractured. This is the best way to see the damage to the bone and to figure out the best course of treatment. Fractures are described in terms displacement of fragments and involvement of the joint. Displacement of fragments means how many of the bone pieces are out of place. Displacement can be minimal or great, and is judged on a spectrum. The other prominent feature in gauging the severity of fractures is whether the fracture involves a joint, or is “articular," in contrast to an extra-articular fracture, in which the joint is not involved. Breaks involving joints are inherently more severe because healing them is more complicated.  There are several classifications of Colles fractures, depending on the severity of the injury. Colles fractures are referred to as: Type I: extra articular and non-displaced, Type II: extra articular and displaced, Type III: intra articular and non-displaced, and Type IV: Intra articular and displaced.  The criteria that define a break as a Colles fracture include: transverse fracture of the radius, the fracture occurs within 2.5 cm proximal to the radio-carpal or wrist joint, and dorsal or posterior displacement and dorsal angulation with a radial tilt. This type of small fracture does not require realignment of the bone. Instead, your bone just needs to be held in place in order to heal properly. If your wrist is fractured so that the ends of the bone overlap or are slightly at an angle, your doctor will most likely perform a closed reduction. For this treatment, the wrist is manipulated and positioned so that the bones are in the correct position. Then a cast is applied to keep the wrist in this proper position. The majority of Colles fractures may be treated non-surgically with a cast for a period of 6 weeks.  You will be given anesthesia if you have to have the bones in your wrist repositioned. However, keep in mind that this procedure doesn't require...

When you get your new hamster, you’ll need to provide it with a comfortable place to live. This means you need to set up a suitable cage for your hamster. You should put down some absorbent bedding to make your hamster feel comfortable. This also allows your hamster to go to the restroom in its cage. You’ll need to spot clean the bedding daily and replace the entire thing once a week or so. Be sure to also put a water bottle for your hamster to drink out of in the cage. Hamsters are omnivores, which means they subsist on animal-based food as well as plant-based food. The most common thing to feed hamsters is dried hamster food pellets, but it is a good idea to supplement your hamster’s diet with small pieces of raw fruits and vegetables as a treat a couple times per week.  Typically, hamsters should eat about 10 grams of dry hamster food twice each day. For a treat, consider giving them small bits of broccoli, peaches, cauliflower, or bananas. Do not give your hamster anything citrus (like lemons or oranges) or acidic (like onions) because it could cause your hamster to get an upset stomach. During the first few days after you get your hamster, be careful not to push yourself on it too quickly. This is especially important during feeding time. Just put the food in the cage and then leave the hamster alone to eat in peace. This will help your hamster feel safe around you. You need to give your hamster some time to get used to you and to feel safe and settled in its new home. Don’t try to force any contact with your hamster for the first week or so. Sometimes this process can take a bit longer. It’s important for you to be patient in the beginning.

When you give your speech(es), focus on the issues and let your funny running mate provide the crack-ups. You might even want to do a joint speech where each time you cover a talking point, your friend chimes in with a joke. This back-and-forth will get people to pay attention and make your campaign more memorable.  Read samples of other speeches to get a general knowledge of what should be in them. Humor is a good tactic, of course, but don’t overlook the important issues in your campaign. Pay attention to the words you use. Be persuasive, be clever, set the agenda, don't be arrogant, and don't brag. For example, instead of saying, "I'm a creative person," say, "I value creativity." A good closing sentence is also important. The last thing you say is what most people will remember. And don't forget to end your speech with a "Thank you." Practice it in front of your friends, teachers, and family members. You can even practice in front of a mirror. Just because you memorized your speech thoroughly doesn't mean you should rattle it off in a coma-inducing monotone. In fact, being really familiar with your speech should allow you to read it confidently and with natural pauses and inflexions, as though you’re coming up with it on the spot. Try to anticipate what people will ask. Things you might be asked include: Why are you running? What makes you different than the other candidates? How can you deliver on what you’re promising? Remember to have answers sorted out in your mind already.

When you go in to select a replacement door, you should bring along a diagram with all relevant characteristics and measurements. One easy way to do this is to photograph your door and print out the image. You can also simply draw a diagram with paper and pen. Open your door. Position your body so that your back is against the hinges. If the door is on your right, it is a right-handed door. If the door is on your left, it is left-handed. Your door will also either be in-swing or out-swing. Determine both of these characteristics and record them on the diagram you made. An in-swing door opens into your house (or into a room), and an out-swing door opens outward. Write the height, width, and thickness of your door down on your diagram. Write down the the height, width, and thickness of the door frame, as well. This diagram should make the process of replacing your door a lot simpler. Bring it with you any time you look at doors, and use it to guide your purchase.

When you go into the piercing studio, let them know you're a little nervous. Have them walk you through the process, explain what they're doing and why, and answer any questions or worries you might have. They might offer you a comfortable chair or a glass of water. Chances are most of the people getting piercings are a little nervous, so they'll know exactly how to make you feel better. Know that it's probably going to hurt a little, and be ready to deal with it. Bring a friend for moral support, and bring painkillers for afterwards if you think you'll need them. Think about how you best deal with stress and pain. Do you like to squeeze a stress ball? Does gossiping with a friend or playing Angry Birds help take your mind off the pain? Plan ahead and bring anything you think might help you deal with the potentially stressful situation. When you get nervous, having your friend there to comfort you is invaluable. Squeeze your friend's hand when you need to, and talk to your friend to take your mind off the piercing. Read a book or magazine. Gossip with your friend, or get to know your piercer a little. Chat about your weekend plans, what's going on in school, that great movie you just saw -- talk about anything but the piercing. Thinking about other things will help you calm down enough to get through the piercing. Focus on your breathing to physically calm down and force yourself to relax. Breathing deeply slows your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure, mimicking the state your body is in when it really is relaxed. Doing breathing exercises, or just focusing on breathing deeply, will help you calm down your body, which will make the stress of the piercing much easier to deal with. Focus on the best part of getting your ears pierced -- think about how you'll look with your new earrings! When it comes to the actual piercing, don't think about the pain or the stress. Instead, tell yourself that you can do it, you will get through it. If you do this enough, you'll find that it becomes true.   Friends are...

When you go out on the town to meet up with friends, a new date, or for a date with your partner, wear an outfit you feel great in. If you must, go shopping to pick up a few items that speak to you. Look for colors, styles, and fabrics that bring out your best features. What you wear will depend on your personal style. It may be a dress, an edgy leather jacket, a pair of heels, or a killer pair of jeans. Just be sure to don an outfit that allows you to sparkle like only you can. Stay true to who you are when you are expressing your sexual confidence. You might need to fake your confidence a little to give yourself a boost, but be sure to stay true to your morals and values. If you are uncomfortable in a situation, then back away and try something new. Don’t compare yourself to other women. Accept who you are and be true to her. You might see another woman who is skinnier or has better hair then you, and you might feel jealous. Instead, think about all the wonderful attributes you have and be happy about the person you are. Women's bodies are constantly sexualized in music videos, in magazines, or in film or on TV. Men, in many ways, are given the option to uplift feminine sexuality, but women are expected to inhibit these parts of themselves. Even today, women are frequently chastised or discriminated against for embracing their sexuality. The idea of remaining pure from puberty and beyond can cause some women to suppress their sexual urges. Ignore the mixed messages you receive in the media about what you should or shouldn't do when it comes to your sexuality. Only you can set the bar on what feels right for you. Listen to your personal needs and values and allow them to guide you in making choices about your sexuality.

When you go through puberty, you will probably notice that you start to sweat more (especially under your arms) and have more body odor. This is completely normal, but it does mean that you need to be more conscientious about your personal hygiene. Remember to shower every day and wear clean clothes. Applying deodorant every morning will also help you smell fresh and clean.  Some deodorants contain antiperspirants, which also prevent sweating. A regular deodorant without an antiperspirant will not prevent sweating, but will prevent odor. Your hair may become more oily as well, so you may have to wash it more often than you used to. During puberty, your skin will start changing due to hormonal changes, and this may cause you to get acne. You may also notice that your skin is becoming dry or oily. To combat these issues, be sure to wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Applying an over-the-counter acne cream can help you deal with breakouts, and moisturizing can help you deal with dry skin.  Acne medications that contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid as active ingredients tend to be very effective. Everyone's skin is different, so try a few different products until you find one that works for you. Be aware that acne medications may dry your skin out, so you may need to apply a moisturizer as well. Always use an oil-free moisturizer on your face, especially if you have acne. Oily moisturizers can cause more breakouts. Moisturizers that contain sunscreen will help protect you from sun damage as well. Popping pimples and picking at your skin can make your acne problem worse, so avoid doing this. Try to avoid touching your face or letting your hair come in contact with your face, as this can transfer oil to your skin and cause breakouts. If you have serious acne that does not get better with over-the-counter treatments, consider seeing a dermatologist. Most people have at least one growth spurt during puberty. You will probably grow several inches during this time, and you...

When you go to an interview, be sure that you remember what you wrote in your application and the details of the job listing.  It's also a good idea to do a bit of research on the company you are applying at. What is their basic business model and what makes the company unique? Are there any guiding missions of the company? These types of questions can usually be answered by some quick internet research, but this kind of information can really illustrate your interest and dedication if brought up during an interview. Brainstorm and write out any aspects of your personality or experiences in your life that may be pertinent to bring up during the job interview. These are things that you probably did not list in your resume but are important to get across to your possible employer. For example, this could include your personal qualities and work ethic. An interview usually has two types of questions, technical questions and HR questions. Technical questions gauge whether you know how to do the job you are applying for, and HR questions are designed to see if you are a team player. You will need to be able to answer both types of questions with confidence.  Some examples of HR questions are: Where do you see yourself in 10 years? How do you handle criticism?  How well do you work on a team? When asked, "How much money do you want to make?" you can provide your current salary. Or, you can say, "I am open" or ask, "What is the range of pay for this job?" When asked, "What don't you like about your current job?" if you answer anything negative, even though it might be true, it will make you look like a negative employee. When asked, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" if you don't answer with a position slightly above your job title, it will look like you don't really have interest in the job. You could even practice your interview skills by organizing a mock interview. If you're interviewing but not getting offers, then you have not yet warmed up to the interview process.  It takes 3 to 5 interviews to get...

When you go to confront a person who is being mean, you must come off as brave and confident. Pull your shoulders back. Lift your chin and meet the person’s eyes. Stand up to the behavior in a confident way or use your confidence to defy the behavior. That is up to you, but confidence is the key. Tell the person what you thought of his or her words or behavior.Many times the mean person is masking an underlying feeling with negative attention, so avoid making this a personal attack. He or she needs to know that you were upset by the behavior but not the person.  "Hey, I felt humiliated when you teased me in the meeting earlier." Something straightforward and to the point should do the trick. Don't be vague and tell them that they're being mean for example. Instead, give them a specific example, such as how they teased you in front of class. Instead of simply telling the person what he or she did wrong, explain how the situation could have been handled in a more kind way.  For example: "The next time you have suggestions for my work performance, can you please share them with me privately? I'd greatly appreciate that." Alternatively, ask them for help that they can use their talents instead of seeking negative attention. Letting them know that you recognize their skills can start a better working relationship. Be the first one to extend the olive branch and offer kindness. If they're able to gain positive attention, they're usually stop their behavior. This should only be done after you have tried other approaches since it may affect the relationship long term with the other person. If this is someone you only interact with for a small bit of time every once in a while it may not be worth the extra involvement. Bullying is against the rules in most schools and jobs. If you're the target of bullying, reach out to someone who can help put a stop to it.

When you go to the doctor for a checkup, they can examine you and see how you are developing.  The doctor may be able to predict around when your period may start.  This can help you be more prepared.  You should also take this time to ask your doctor any questions you have about starting your period. Do not feel embarrassed by any questions you may have.  Your doctor is used to questions and is there to help you. Before your period starts, you may experience breast tenderness, cramping, stomach bloating, and acne.   You may not experience any symptoms the first time you have your period though.  Ask your parent about a heating pad or taking pain medicine to help with your symptoms. The older you get, it will be easier to tell when your period is coming. Your period will usually begin between the ages of 12 and 14.  Menstrual blood will begin to come out of your vagina. This blood can be different shades of red and brown and may include clots.  If you have not gotten your period by the time you are 15, you need to talk to your parents and your doctor.  If you feel any wetness, go to the bathroom to see if your period has started. Your first period may only last for a few days and be very light. You may only see some reddish and/or brown spots. It should last from two to seven days.  You can wear panty liners if you suspect that your period may be starting soon.  This will protect your clothes until you can use a pad or tampon. Your menstrual cycle begins the first day that you bleed.  A cycle usually lasts between 21 and 45 days.  The average cycle is 28 days. It is helpful to mark on a calendar or use a phone app to keep track of your period.  You will begin to recognize a pattern and know when your cycle will start.  Mark the first day your period starts, and then count the days until you bleed again.  This will help you figure out the length of your cycle. Your periods may not come every month when you first start your period.  It may take up to six years before you have a regular cycle.  The average...

When you go to work as an independent middleman, you'll be establishing your own business. Start-up costs are fairly low for this type of work and you can get started quickly, but you still need to treat your work as a business both professionally and legally.  On a basic level, dedicate the basic space and supplies needed to do business. You should have a separate business phone line, a fax machine, and a business e-mail address. If possible, dedicate a separate computer and corner of the house for business purposes alone. On a more advanced level, familiarize yourself with the legal side of establishing a business. Set yourself up as a business entity. Research any restrictions involved on how the product/service you want to provide can be traded. Make sure that you know how to file your taxes and do so accurately when the time comes. Observe the marketplace and look for a niche you can slip into. The biggest need will be in an area where the supply and demand structure is sluggish or does not otherwise satisfy the consumers and suppliers.  Services or specialty products are usually easier industries to break into as a new middleman. Generic products that are readily available are often purchased direct from manufacturers, and convincing a retailer to change can be nearly impossible if the system it currently uses works well. Determine who the consumers of your chosen product or service are. Depending on the nature of your intended business, these consumers might include both local and non-local buyers.  When you're dealing with a product, this usually means researching retailers who would be interested in selling that product. Research local retailers by looking in the phone book or searching online. Research non-local retailers by looking through online databases of retailers. Focus your search on small and medium businesses instead of major brands. When you're dealing with a service, you may need to rely on more traditional advertising to find individual consumers and business entities in need of that...

When you greet someone in Balinese, you might like to be able to introduce yourself. You can do this by saying "wastan tiang" followed by your name. This translates simply as "my name is..." You can follow this up by asking the person you are greeting what he or she is called, by asking "sira pesengen ragane." If you have stopped and asked someone for help or directions, you will want to thank them warmly for the assistance before you say goodbye. You can thank someone in Balinese by saying "suksma," which translates as "thanks." For a more polite version, you could say "terima kasih" for "thank you," or "matur suksma" for "thank you very much." After greeting the person respectfully, you will want to end the conversation in the same way. People will appreciate you saying goodbye in a more polite way than just saying "bye", or "dah" in Indonesian slang. The most polite way to say goodbye is to say “Titiang lungsur mapamit dumun," which translates to "I’m taking leave now." This is generally used for people who are highly respected or of a high caste.  Alternative farewells include “Pamit dumun,” “Pamit,” “Ngiring dumun,” and “Ngiring.” A more informal goodbye to someone you know well could be “Kalihin malu.”

When you have a cat that cannot or will not groom himself, you should be concerned about feces getting stuck in the fur under the tail. This is especially true in long-haired cats and pets with diarrhea. If stuck fecal matter is not promptly removed, it can mat in the fur and eventually cause skin problems and prevent the cat from defecating normally. Slip on a pair of latex or rubber gloves while cleaning feces from your cat’s fur. Cat feces can contain toxoplasmosis, a parasitic condition that is especially dangerous for pregnant women. If you’re pregnant, have your partner clean the cat (and the litter box). If the fecal nuggets are dry, try pulling them out of the fur. If this fails then use a dampened paper towel to wipe feces from the cat’s hind end. There are also kitty wipes, which are generally available at pet supply stores. You can use baby wipes, but make sure they are not scented at all. Your cat will lick his fur after you clean him, and if there is any residue from the baby wipes, he will ingest that. Clean the area once a day or as needed. Once you have removed the feces, it’s important to dry the area. Leaving your cat wet can lead to further matting of the fur and skin irritation. If you cannot remove the matted feces easily, consider having the hair around the anus clipped to prevent feces from being trapped in the fur.   Cat groomers commonly perform this procedure and refer to it as a hygiene clip or sani-clip. If your cat’s litter box isn’t clean, he may try to defecate in the corner of the box, getting more feces on his fur. Or, he might try to go elsewhere, which can also increase the chance of getting feces on his fur. Scoop out the litter box every day. Replace the litter every one to three weeks. If your cat has open sores in the area or is having problems defecating due to matted fur, take the cat to the veterinarian rather than the groomer. Your cat may need treatment for the sores and any other issues he is dealing with.

When you have a crush, it can definitely be hard to not geek out when he comes around, but try your best to stay calm and to remember that he is just a normal guy. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact and smile at him. It’s totally okay to have your own opinions and to like whatever things you are passionate about, even if you feel like those things aren’t “cool.” Don’t pretend to like things you don’t just to try to impress someone. Guys can tell when you’re being fake. It’s okay to have different opinions or to disagree with the guy you like, too. If something comes up in class, don’t be afraid to speak out for what you believe in. This makes you seem like you have your own thoughts and would be an interesting person to talk to. It’s much more likely that the guy you like will like you back if his friends think you’re fun. Don’t be afraid to talk to them in class, in the hallway, at lunch, or at after-school activities. Ask them about their hobbies, talk to them about homework assignments, and mention when you notice things you have in common, like enjoying the same books or movies. Think about how you become friends with anyone—generally, you find a common interest and start talking about it. Be friendly, smile, and ask them questions about themselves. Be willing to take chances and do new things, even if you feel scared or anxious. Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself or to make jokes in front of the guy you like. Having a good sense of humor and being fun-loving are really attractive qualities!  For example, if your class needs volunteers for an activity, don’t be afraid to get up in front of everyone and help. If you do something embarrassing, try to laugh it off and turn it into a joke. This will show that you don’t take yourself too seriously. It’s really easy to talk about yourself, but when you’re trying to get to know someone better, try asking them questions about themselves instead. Open-ended questions are ones that require more than a “yes” or “no” answer; they’re great at getting people to...

When you have a herniated disc, sleeping on your side may be the best choice. Try sleeping in a fetal position with the body pillow to support your weight as you lie on your side. This will help to alleviate some of the pain associated with a foraminal herniated disc. Having a body pillow keeps your spine and neck aligned while sleeping on your side. Sleeping on your stomach is the worst position, even if you have a healthy back. Stomach sleeping flattens the natural curve of your spine and it puts additional strain on your back muscles.  If you have a herniated disk, then make sure to avoid sleeping on your stomach at all costs. Sleeping on your back with your knees slightly bent and supported by a firm pillow is a good position for sleeping if you have a herniated disk.  This position takes pressure off of your lower spine, which will allow the maximum amount of healing to take place while you sleep. Place a medium sized pillow under your knees to support them. You can also elevate your feet by placing one or more pillows under your heels. Everyone’s experience with a ruptured, or herniated, disc is different. A sleeping position that works for one person might not be the best for someone else. Try a few different positions and choose the one that leaves you with the least pain. Try making yourself fall asleep in a new sleeping position. If you wake up in the middle of the night in a different position, try returning to the new sleeping position.

When you have a new baby, you are going through a lot of changes. These changes aren't just physical. Pay attention to the emotional shifts that are occurring, too. Your emotional well-being is important when you are reestablishing a sexual connection with your partner.   Start by accepting the changes that have happened. For example, you may notice that your breasts feel and look much differently. That's normal. Try not to let your feelings about your body impact your desire to have sex. Another common worry is that your body will feel differently to your partner after you give birth. It's possible that it might. Accept that your body has physically changed, and that sex will be different for both of you. But that does not mean that it is not still good. Pregnancy and giving birth greatly affect your hormones. Your hormones likely will not return to normal until you start menstruating again. For many women, this doesn't happen until for anywhere from 4-12 weeks after giving birth.  When your hormones are out of balance, your sex drive can vary. Many women will feel ready to have sex, but just as many won't feel ready for several months. Remember that feeling either way is fine. And it's normal for your feelings to shift from day to day, and even hour to hour. You will also be spending most hours of the day holding and caring for your newborn. When it's finally time to take a break, you may feel the need for some personal space. It's ok if you don't feel like being touched. Try not to think too much about what other people do. Your sex life is between you and your partner. You two should resume having sex when it is right for you. Having a great sex life after a baby may take some adjustments, which is normal. The best thing you can do is to be patient with yourself and with your partner.  Some couples begin having sex 1 month after giving birth. Others prefer to wait 6 months. Give yourself time to feel ready to be intimate again. If you feel nervous about sex, you won't feel aroused. Wait to try until you...

When you have a urinary tract infection, you will often feel like you need to go to the bathroom. Do not ignore these feelings. Go to the bathroom right away and empty your bladder as much as you can. Doing so should help you to feel a little more comfortable when you are dealing with a UTI. This common over-the-counter medicine can help to relieve the burning pain that comes with urination when you have a UTI. Pyridium alkalinizes the urine to increase the pH of the urine so that the urine does not burn as much as it travels down the infected urethra.  Follow the instructions for how much to take and how often. A common dose is 200 mg three times daily. You will only need to take pyridium for two days until it begins to take effect. Do not take pyridium for more than two days without discussing it with your doctor. This medication should only be taken by adolescents 16 and older and adults. Keep in mind that this medication will cause your urine to turn bright orange. Some may also notice an orange tint to the eyes, and it may stain contact lenses. Pyridium may interfere with certain lab tests, so let the technician or doctor know you are taking it before giving a urine sample. Wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear and clothing will make it less likely that moisture will get trapped in your underwear and make your infection worse. It will also make it easier for you to remove your pants and underwear if you have to go to the bathroom in a hurry. Furthermore, loose-fitting clothing will help you to feel more comfortable than wearing something tight. Often times pelvic discomfort can occur with UTIs. Wearing nonrestrictive clothing will avoid excess pelvic pressure from occurring thus increasing comfort. Ask your doctor for recommendations on what to take and how much to help ease the pain that comes with a urinary tract infection. Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin (ibuprofen) are good options.

When you have a wet dream, you can quickly clean up using a towel or rag so that no one knows. After you use it, toss the towel or rag in with your regular laundry. Don’t forget to replace it with a fresh towel or rag.  For instance, keep your towel in your nightstand. Most people have wet dreams at one point or another. If you feel comfortable sharing with your family or friends, there’s no need to hide your reason for wanting a towel nearby. It’s normal to be worried about having a wet dream when you’re sleeping at someone else’s house. Keep in mind that it’s likely your friend feels the same way. Just in case it happens, bring extra underwear with you. This way you can quickly change if necessary. When you brush your teeth at night, leave your bag in the restroom so you can easily retrieve your underwear if you need them. A thick pair of pajama bottoms may absorb a lot of the fluids so your sheets won’t be as wet. This will help you avoid having a big spot in the morning. Always wear pajama bottoms to bed. If you have a wet dream, wash your pajamas before wearing them again. Try to get a pair that buttons over your crotch so that it doesn’t gape open. If it does, your pajamas may not soak up the semen. It’s normal for a wet dream to make your sheets wet and sticky. When this happens, it’s best to put your sheets in the wash. Replace your dirty sheets with a clean set. Ask your parents how to use your washing machine.

When you have an especially busy week, or simply don't feel like working out, it might help to focus on the reasons you made the decision to get fit. Exercise not only controls weight, it helps fight disease, improves the immune system, and gives you more energy. Exercise also improves your mood and helps you sleep better. Many people find that going to a gym several times a week is a convenient way to exercise, but there are many other ways to stay healthy and active. Running, walking, and swimming are all great ways to stay fit. You might also consider taking lessons for something you'd like to learn: dancing, surfing, or ice skating. Pay attention to all the elements of total fitness, including endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility.  Try to build up gradually to at least 30 minutes of an activity that makes you breathe hard. Your goal should be 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week, or 30 minutes five times a week.  Lift weights to improve muscle tone. Keeping your muscles in shape will make your daily tasks easier to manage, and will help you avoid problems later in life, such as a broken hip caused by a fall.  Improving your balance will also help you avoid dangerous falls later in life, and will allow you to remain active and mobile throughout your life. One easy exercise is to walk in a straight line, placing the heel of one foot directly in front of the toe of the other as if you were crossing a river on a slender beam.  Regular stretching exercises will improve your overall flexibility, making it easier to bend to tie your shoes or to reach something on a high shelf. Be sure to stretch your muscles gently, to avoid injury. Having an “exercise buddy” will help you both to stay motivated, and will make your workout time more enjoyable. For a fun weekend activity, get some friends together to play basketball, softball, volleyball, or tennis. Setting goals for yourself will help keep you motivated, and meeting your goal milestones will give you a wonderful boost of confidence and a...

When you have an exponent, like 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}}, you have two simple parts. The bottom number, here a 2, is the base. The number it is raised to, here a 3, is known as the exponent or power. If you  are talking about 23{\displaystyle 2^{3}}, you would say it is "two to the third," "two to the third power," or "two raised to the third power."  If a number is raised to the second power, like 52{\displaystyle 5^{2}}, you can also say that the number is squared, such as "five squared." If a number is raised to the third power, like 103{\displaystyle 10^{3}}, you can also say it is cubed, such as "ten cubed." If a number has no exponent shown, like a simple 4, it is technically to the first power and can be rewritten as 41{\displaystyle 4^{1}}. If the exponent is 0, and a "non-zero number" is raised to the "zero power", then the whole thing equals 1, such as 40=1{\displaystyle 4^{0}=1} or even something like (3/8)0=1.{\displaystyle (3/8)^{0}=1.} There is more about this in the "Tips" section. If you need to solve an exponent by hand, start by rewriting it as a multiplication problem. You want to multiply the base by itself for the number of the exponent. So, if you have 34{\displaystyle 3^{4}} you would multiply three in a series of four separate factors, or 3∗3∗3∗3{\displaystyle 3*3*3*3}. More examples include:  45=4∗4∗4∗4∗4{\displaystyle 4^{5}=4*4*4*4*4} 82=8∗8{\displaystyle 8^{2}=8*8}  Ten cubed =10∗10∗10{\displaystyle =10*10*10} Multiply the first two numbers to get the product. For example, with 45{\displaystyle 4^{5}}, you'd start with 4∗4∗4∗4∗4{\displaystyle 4*4*4*4*4} This looks daunting, but just take it one step at a time. Start by multiplying the first two fours. Then replace the two fours with the answer as shown here:   45=4∗4∗4∗4∗4{\displaystyle 4^{5}=4*4*4*4*4} 4∗4=16{\displaystyle 4*4=16}  45=16∗4∗4∗4{\displaystyle 4^{5}=16*4*4*4} Keep multiplying in the numbers to "grow" your exponent. Continuing our example, you would multiple 16 by the next 4, so that:   45=16∗4∗4∗4{\displaystyle...

When you have an hour to kill, this can seem like a long time. But if you break that down into smaller increments, such as four segments of 15 minutes each, this doesn’t seem as long. Try breaking down the hour into even smaller segments, such as 5 or 10 minute segments. Mentally cross off each segment as it passes. This will work best when paired with other distractions as well. In your mind, take inventory of everything you have in your kitchen, or try to recall all of the movies you own. Giving yourself a mental task redirects your thought patterns away from concentrating on time to concentrating on something else. In your mind, try out different ways of arranging furniture, wall hangings, and other decorations in a room in your house. Think of other ways you can make your living space more appealing, such as imagining different colored wall paint. Give yourself some math problems, such as calculating how many days you’ve been alive, for example. Forcing your brain to focus on a difficult mental task can make you less aware of how much time is passing. Use your mind to list things, such as naming things you’re thankful for, listing the names of every street you’ve lived on, or naming people who graduated from high school with you. You can also make mental to-do lists, itemizing tasks that you need to complete. Think about a place that you’d like to travel to and plan out a trip. Think about how you’d get there, what you’d do while you’re there, what kinds of souvenirs you might like to buy, what kinds of meals you’d like to eat, and who you could travel with. Think about your spouse, a celebrity or another person to whom you’re attracted, and imagine yourself being with that person. Imagine the conversation you would have, what you’d talk about, where you’d go on a date, and what else you might do together. Look at the people around you and imagine crazy, funny lives for them. Give them different jobs or secret identities. Imagine where they go after work or school, their friends or family, and their hobbies.

When you have decided the place, position the box, and dig out holes for the corner post. These posts can simply be placed on top of the soil or they can be rooted in the ground several inches or more. This is up to your preference. Just plan ahead. Use 4x4 pieces of lumber.  These will be used for the corners of the boxes.  Cut them to be at least the same height or several inches deeper than the box. If your boxes are going to be longer than 8', you will want add to center posts on the long sides. Using 2x4s, cut boards for the two long sides, equal to the distance from the far edge of one corner post to the far edge of the other. Cut the short end boards to be equal to the distance between the far edges of the posts, plus the ends of the long side boards. Use outdoor appropriate screws; 1"-1 1/2" or decking screws work well. Drill through the boards directly into the posts. Once the box is set, line the box with 1/2" hardware cloth to keep out pests and varmint. Staple or screw the hardware cloth to the sides. Next, place some weed cloth on top of the hardware cloth.  Staple that to the sides of the box. This is to keep the weeds from growing from below. Bring in some planting mix for soil. It is usually measured in cubic feet. Use a wheelbarrow or park close to the box and start filling it up. Stand on it to pack it down. Leave about 2 inches (5.1 cm) from the top. Make sure to fertilize the soil or rotate types of plants in the boxes to keep the soil fresh. Plan to grow plants that suit the season of the year as well.

When you have diarrhea you need to replace the water lost during each episode, but bear in mind that water is not the only thing you are losing. You will also need to replenish your potassium, sodium, and chloride. Drink water, fruit juices, sports drinks, sodas without caffeine, and salty broths.  Children should drink rehydration solutions made especially for them — drinks like Pedialyte, which contain salts and minerals.  Confirm you are getting enough fluids by doing the pinch test, medically known as the skin turgor test. Pinch a section of skin on the back of your hand, your lower arm, or your abdominal area and hold it for a few seconds. Make sure the skin is tented upward. Release the skin after a few seconds. If the skin snaps back quickly to its normal position, you are well hydrated. If the skin stays tented upward and snaps back slowly, you are likely dehydrated. Soluble fiber will help your body absorb water and make your stool more firm, thereby slowing down your diarrhea. Soluble fiber is found in foods like oats, bran, plain rice, steamed broccoli, and barley.  There is another type of fiber — insoluble fiber — that is found in foods like celery and citrus fruits. Insoluble fiber does not absorb water (think about the difference between putting a cup of oats in a pot of water vs. a stick of celery in a pot of water — the oats would absorb the liquid and become sticky, but the celery would remain unchanged). This type of fiber will make your diarrhea worse and should be avoided.  Grains should be cooked in a light chicken or miso broth. Use a 4:1 ratio, with twice as much liquid used per one cup of grains. For example, you would cook ½ cup barley in 2 cups of chicken broth. Insoluble fiber is found in wheat bran, vegetables, and whole grains. The BRAT diet can help to bulk up your stool and provide nutrients you may have lost because of the diarrhea and any vomiting. The BRAT diet is composed of:  Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast You can also eat salted crackers to help reduce any nausea or...

When you have fibroids they can cause heavy and painful periods, even if you are treating them medically. If this is the case, then you will need to treat the acute symptoms of your period. In order to treat cramps, heavy bleeding, and other problems associated with your period, you can:  Use an ice pack. An ice pack on your abdomen or back can minimize pain. Use the ice pack for 20 minutes at a time, taking the pack off so that your skin does not get too chilled. Take vitamin C regularly. Vitamin C can help your body to absorb excess iron, which can cause excessive menstrual bleeding. Take an iron supplement. If you are having excessive bleeding it may cause you to become anemic. If that is the case, take a supplement to level out your iron. In addition to following your medical treatment plan and treating symptoms, it can help your condition to make some lifestyle changes as well. Anything you can do to minimize your period, for instance, will go a long way towards helping to minimize your symptoms. Some things you can do to minimize your period include:  Exercise regularly. Eat fruits and vegetables. Avoid sugar and fat. If you have uterine fibroids you will need the help and support from the people in your life. You will need them to help you get the medical treatment that is required. For instance you will need a ride home and home care after surgery, and you will need them to help you when you are in pain and unable to care for yourself. If your symptoms are affecting your ability to work or perform daily activities, you should make sure to explore all treatment options with your doctor. Discuss your condition with your employer and figure out ways for you to make up time or do types of labor that will be compatible with your condition.

When you have one or more algebra problems, you must read the instructions carefully. Look for key words in the instructions like “solve,” “simplify,” “factor,” or “reduce.” These are some of the most common instructions (although there are others that you will learn). Many people have problems because they try to “solve” a problem when they really only need to “simplify” it. When you read the problem instructions, you should identify the key words and then perform those operations. Many people feel frustration with algebra when they try doing something that is not really part of the intended problem. The basic operations you will be asked for are:  Solve. You will need to reduce the problem to an actual numerical solution, such as “x=4.” You need to find a value for the variable that can make the problem come true. Simplify. You need to manipulate the problem into some simpler form than before, but you will not wind up with what you might consider “an answer.” You will probably not have a single numerical value for the variable. Factor. This is similar to “simplify,” and is usually used with complex polynomials or fractions. You need to find a way to turn the problem into smaller terms. Just as the number 12 can be broken into factors of 3x4, for example, you can factor an algebraic polynomial.  For example, a simple expression like 5x{\displaystyle 5x} can be broken into factors of 5{\displaystyle 5} and x{\displaystyle x}. For example, the expression x2+3x+2{\displaystyle x^{2}+3x+2} can be factored into the terms (x+2){\displaystyle (x+2)} and (x+1){\displaystyle (x+1)}.   Reduce. To “reduce” a problem generally involves a combination of factoring and then simplifying. You would break the terms of a numerator and denominator into their factors. Then look for common factors on top and bottom, and cancel them out. Whatever remains is the “reduced” form of the original problem. For example, reduce the expression 6x22x{\displaystyle {\frac {6x^{2}}{2x}}} as follows:  1. Factor the numerator and denominator:...

When you have rolled the foreskin right down the head of the penis it will, in most instances, remain retracted without you having hold it. Once the foreskin is secure below the head you will have both hands free and are ready to put the condom on.  Before you roll the condom down the penis, use one hand to pinch the reservoir tip of the condom. This will help remove air from the condom, and prevent air from getting trapped as you roll on the condom. For some men the foreskin is too tight on the head of the penis to be able to roll all the way down the head. Men who are unable to roll the foreskin down may have a condition known as Phimosis. This in itself is nothing to worry about, and if you cannot roll down the foreskin, then you should just roll the condom down your penis and not worry about rolling down the foreskin.  Whether or not you are able to pull the foreskin back should not increase the likelihood of the condom breaking or slipping. Slipping is normally only an issue when the man has troubling maintaining an erection. If your Phimosis is causing you difficulty, such as pain during sex, infection or impeding urination, there are some treatments available that you can discuss with your doctor. As you pinch the tip of the condom with one hand, use the other hand to roll the condom down to the base of the penis. Your foreskin should remain retracted while you are unrolling the condom. You will be able to release the end of the condom you are pinching as you roll it down the penis. Once you have rolled the condom down to the base of the penis you can ease the foreskin back over the head. Hold onto the base of the condom with one hand, to prevent the condom from sliding off, and gently push the foreskin back up towards the head of the penis. This will allow for more free movement of the foreskin during sexual activity, and could even help enhance your partner’s pleasure.

When you have the ball, moving the thumbstick on your nunchuck will move your player around the field. You will always control the player that has possession of the ball. If you need a little extra speed, you can use the Z button to sprint. Sprinting will wear you out after a few moments. Turn your player towards your intended receiver using the thumbstick and tap the A button to make a ground pass, where the ball stays low to the pitch. If you press and hold the A button, you will perform a lob pass, lifting the ball above players’ heads and travelling much farther.  Holding the C button while you pass will perform a through ball, which a pass where you lead your target. This is especially useful for breakaways, as you can increase your speed and get away from opponents.     For All-Play controls, there is only one pass command (A), and the computer takes care of the rest.    If you’re player keeps the ball for too long, you’re increasing your chances of having it stolen. Passing the ball keeps defenders trying to catch up, and puts the flow of the game in your favor. The triangle formations is one of the most potent in soccer. Passing the ball between three different players as you move down the field is very difficult to defend against and gives you control over the field.    Shooting works almost exactly the same as passing. Aim your player towards the opposing goal and either tap or press the B button. This will affect the power of your shot.  Hold the C button while shooting for a chip shot that you can lob over defenders’ heads.     For All-Play controls, there is only one shoot command (B), and the computer takes care of the rest.    Pressing different directions on the D-Pad on the Wiimote will cause your player to perform different ball tricks. Not only are these great for showing off, but they can be useful to trick your opponent into thinking you’re doing something that you’re not.

When you have the empirical formula of a chemical compound and you need to find the molecular formula of that same chemical compound, you can find the scaling factor you need by dividing the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of the empirical formula. For example, you might need to find the molar mass of an H2O compound with a molar mass of 54.05 g/mol.  The molar mass of H2O is 18.0152 g/mol. Find the scaling factor by dividing the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of the empirical formula: Scaling factor = 54.05 / 18.0152 = 3 Multiply the subscripts of each element within the empirical formula by the scaling factor you just calculated. This will give you the molecular formula of the chemical compound sample involved in the problem. For example, to find the molecular formula of the compound in question, multiply the subscripts of H20 by the scaling factor of 3. H2O * 3 = H6O3 With this answer, you have successfully found the answer to the empirical formula as well as the molecular formula of the chemical compound involved in the problem. For example, the scaling factor for the compound is 3. The molecular formula of the compound is H6O3.

When you have to bury a loved one, there are many choices that you have to make. Picking the right stone is an important decision. Take some time to think about the stone that is right for the situation.  First, choice the type of marker you want. You can look for upright, flat, or obelisk markers. Choose your material. Markers come in a variety of materials, such as marble, sandstone, and granite. Granite is cost effective and very sturdy. Talk to the cemetery. Check the regulations about size and type of marker before you make a purchase. There may be guidelines you need to follow. Gravestones do not require regular cleaning. Although it might seem natural to want to frequently clean the stone, resist the urge. Instead, you should clean the stone approximately 18-24 months. Some will require even less frequent cleanings.  Write down the date each time you clean the stone. This will help you prevent over cleaning. Talk to the cemetery about maintenance plans. Some sites may offer service plans. They will take care of the cleaning for you. In addition to properly maintaining the gravestone, there are other ways that you can honor your loved one. Consider decorating the grave site. Doing so can help you feel connected to the departed.  You can leave flowers near the headstone. This is especially nice to do on holidays, anniversaries, or birthdays. You can also leave small mementos at the burial site. For example, a baseball for a sports fan. Ask the cemetery for a list of regulations. Some materials may not be allowed to be left behind.

When you have to deal with something that involves constant invasion of your senses, like body odor, you may feel an urge to vent your frustration with other coworkers.  However, try your best to not bring the problem up with others, especially if you are planning to speak with them directly.  Gossiping about the problem could make you seem mean and cruel to your coworkers.  Also, since office gossip tends to travel fast, the offending coworker could hear that you were speaking unkindly about them, and any attempt to speak with them about the issue later will seem disingenuous. In general, the closer you are to the person, the more direct you should be.  If the offending person is a close work friend, being direct is a great strategy; however, if the person is a superior or a client, being direct about a personal matter like body odor is inappropriate.  In this instance, the most appropriate course of action would be to either drop hints first or go straight to Human Resources to help you.  If they are not a superior or client and you do have a friendly relationship with them, it would be appropriate for you to tell them directly. No matter how nice you say it, bringing up bad body odor to a person will be uncomfortable.  The person will most likely be embarrassed, so waiting to talk to them in a private setting is very important.  It is a kind gesture that makes you seem respectful, and it creates a space where the person may feel comfortable explaining their odor.  Perhaps they have an allergy to deodorant or a medical issue that requires a colostomy bag.  Some tips to initiate the private conversation:  Invite your colleague out for coffee or lunch to get them alone and away from the office. Ask the person to take a walk with you to relieve some stress after a long meeting. If you can’t talk to the person in complete privacy, be sure to at least pull him/her aside where others can’t hear.  Make sure to pull them aside subtly, and don’t draw attention to yourselves. It is important to understand the...

When you have to live with a toxic parent, it can be really difficult to deal with the emotions that come with that. You might feel very angry about the situation. Having a place to let off steam is a good way to deal with the negative emotions that come along with that. One great way to do this is by journalling, but make sure to keep your journal in a secure location where your parent will not find it. You can do this is a written diary, or you can type a document on the computer if you prefer. In the journal, you can write anything you want.  If you want to, you can use the journal to identify negative patterns that might help you deal with your toxic parent. Write down events that affect you, and think about how you might be able to deal with these types of events in the future. In the journal, try to write down positive things about yourself, too. If your parent is making you feel bad about yourself, it is important to give yourself reminders that you are not a bad person. You might make mistakes, but so does everyone else. Each day, try to write down one thing that you did that was good. It may seem silly, but it can have a huge impact on the way you see yourself. You can also ask friends and family members to add to this list. It can be uplifting to hear positive things about yourself from other people. Just make sure to avoid any family members who your parent may have influenced with a narrative about you because their view of you may be skewed. Toxic people are often very difficult to be around. They seem to have a talent for spreading negativity and often leave everyone feeling bad about themselves. Unfortunately, many toxic people are the way they are because they grew up around toxic people. The way your parent behaves is not your fault. You should be proud of yourself for recognizing that your parent is toxic. This gives you a chance to break the cycle because you understand that your parent’s negativity has nothing to do with you. You should also remember that the only person you can control is...
