Cervical disc disease, also known as a slipped disc, tends to happen as dogs age. Typically discs "slip" in one of two ways: disc extrusion, in which the nucleus pulposus slips out from the center of a vertebra and causes damage to the spinal cord, or disc protrusion, in which the fibrous ring around vertebrae grow thicker, causing the spinal cord to painfully contract. Typical symptoms include:  Neck pain/sensitivity  Yelping or crying  Rigidity of the neck  Difficulty or inability to lower the head during feeding  Difficulty walking  Arched back  Down-turned head  Incontinence  Paralysis A veterinarian is the only person who can diagnose cervical disc disease. He will probably take X-rays of the neck and spine to determine whether a disc extrusion or protrusion is the cause of your dog's pain. Unless your vet recommends surgery to correct the slipped disc, the best way to treat cervical disc disease is through supportive care.  Keep walks relatively short. Use a harness on walks instead of locking the leash to your dog's collar, as a collar may put additional strain on your dog's neck.  Administer any pain medication or muscle relaxants your vet prescribes for your dog.

Cervical mucus, a protective substance on the cervix, changes at different points in your cycle. Your body produces more mucus right around the time of ovulation to help facilitate the fertilization of the egg. Once you get to know your pattern well, it’s possible to use it to predict the day you will ovulate. To learn how to check your mucus, see  How to Check Cervical Mucus. Check your mucus every day after your period ends, and note the distinct changes that take place over the course of your cycle. Keep track of the changes on a calendar.  Chart the days when you have your period, dry days, and days when your mucus is tacky, sticky, slippery, and wet. Note changes in color and smell in addition to texture. Note whether the mucus is cloudy or clear. Keep as thorough a record as possible, especially in the first few months when you’re still getting used to this method. Breastfeeding, infections, certain drugs, and other circumstances can affect the cervical mucus, so be sure to note these factors as well. The day of ovulation is usually the day when cervical mucus is most wet and slippery. In the days that follow that peak, especially when the cervix is dry again, fertility is at its lowest.

Chain one, then work one single crochet into each stitch of the last skirt body round. At the end of the round, slip stitch the last stitch of this round to the chain-one. Note that these instructions use the same yarn for both the skirt and the edging. For an easy variation, you could fasten off the yarn at the end of the skirt body and join a second color using a slip stitch. After joining the new color, follow this steps and all the others as instructed. Chain one, then single crochet once into the first stitch of the previous round. Work four chain stitches. After the fourth chain, work one slip stitch into the first chain. This creates one bump or picot. For a smaller picot, only work three chains. For a larger picot, work five chains. Work one single crochet into each of the next four stitches. Assuming you had 128 (small), 136 (medium), 144 (large), or 152 (extra-large) stitches at the end of your skirt body, you'll need to work one picot into every four stitches. If your final skirt body stitch count varied, change the edging pattern so that the picots will be spaced evenly apart around the bottom of the skirt. As before, work four chain stitches, then slip stitch into the first of these chains. If you used a different number of chains in your first picot, continue using that same number for this picot and each one that follows. Single crochet once into each stitch. Work one picot into every four stitch. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the round. At the end of the round, slip stitch the last single crochet together with the first. Cut the yarn, leaving a 4-inch (10-cm) tail. Pull this tail through the loop on your hook to tie off the yarn. Weave the remaining excess into the underside of the skirt. Slide a ribbon through the button holes in the waistband of the skirt. Use this ribbon to tie the skirt on when worn.  To prevent the ribbon from fraying, clip the ends into a "v" shape and/or apply seam sealant to the ends. Alternatively, slide a belt through the button holes instead of...

Chairs are a great option because their backs provide a high fort ceiling. Position the rows in front of a sofa, bed, or wall if you want the fort to be enclosed on the back side. Space the rows of chairs about 4 to 6 ft (1.2 to 1.8 m) apart depending on the size of your blanket.  If you don’t have chairs to support your fort, see what other sturdy items are in the room. Laundry hampers, ottomans, and boxes can serve as fort building materials. Place the items side-by-side if you need to use multiple pieces to create the fort.  You can use furniture of different heights to create high and low places in the fort, which makes it extra fun to crawl around inside. Make sure to choose furniture items that are tall enough so you will be able to crawl or sit under the blankets in the fort. Fold a comforter in half and lay it down or layer a few blankets to add cushioning to the bottom the fort. Then, place several cushions or pillows around the edges of the fort.  You can also place extra blankets or sleeping bags in the fort to cover yourself up. If the ceiling of your fort is high enough, you could even place a few low chairs or stools in the fort, such as bean bag chairs or ottomans. Drape a large sheet or blanket over the top of the fort so that it goes over the edges of the furniture. Pull the blanket or sheet taut so that it is not drooping down in the center of the fort’s ceiling.  Layer more than 1 sheet or blanket over the furniture to provide a darker environment inside of the fort. Use a light-colored sheets to allow some light into the inside of the fort, or use a dark-colored sheet or blanket to make it darker in the fort. The edges of the blanket will eventually slip off the furniture if you do not weigh them down. Grab a few books or other heavy objects and place them on the edges of the blanket. Clothes pins may be enough to secure the edges of a sheet on some types of furniture. For example, if you are using a couch as part of your fort base, then clip the sheet edge to the fabric on the couch using...

Challenge your boyfriend to a wrestling match, or surprise attack him from behind! Have fun with it, but keep the fighting under control. You don’t actually want to hurt each other.  Pretend to fight in a specific fighting style like boxing, martial arts, or sumo wrestling. Take turns being the announcer. If your boyfriend is much stronger than you, make a few rules to level the playing field. For example, you could make him fight with one of his arms behind his back. Next time you’re lounging on the bed or couch with your boyfriend, grab a pillow and whack him. Next thing you know, you’ll have a full blown pillow war.  Choose a great weapon! The best pillow-fight pillows are soft and filled with down, polyester, cotton, or wool. Play King of the Ring. The first person to fall off the bed or couch loses. Try Pillow Ninja. Hold one pillow in each hand, and whack each other. If you drop one of your pillows, you lose! Turn on your favorite jams and have a dance party! You can do a silly partner dance, or have a dance off. Don’t be afraid to bust out all your hilarious dance moves.  Try playing a dance video game together, like Dance Dance Revolution or Just Dance. Watch a video of professional dancers and try to copy their crazy moves. Put your own spin on a Dancing with the Stars performance and let the hilarity ensue. When you’re baking cookies in the kitchen with your boyfriend, blow a little flour on his nose. When he blows some back at you, throw a couple of chocolate chips at him. Let the food fight commence! Play catch with your food. Throw him a few jellybeans or grapes and have him try to catch them in his mouth. Ambush your boyfriend in the middle of a movie with a tickle fight! The two of you will be doubled over in laughter in seconds. Find his most ticklish spots. Try his ribs, tummy, armpits, and even the soles of his feet.

Challenge your employees, allowing them to try new things that are beyond their current workload. Trust them to get the job done right. For example, allow junior employees to work on committees alongside senior employees.  If you don’t allow your staff to grow, they may seek other opportunities. Letting employees try new things can lead to innovation. You can also use it as a strategy to increase the number of people on your staff who are able to complete certain tasks. It’s normal for people to hit roadblocks, especially if you’re assigning tasks that stretch your employees. If an employee seems to have hit a barrier that they can’t cross, work with them to get the job done. Don’t take over for your employee. Instead, provide them with assistance, whether it’s from you or another employee who can mentor them. You can provide training sessions, guest speakers, or training videos. If you have the resources, you could even send your employees to a conference or seminar. Monitor your employees to see if they are struggling to meet their work demands, especially if you work in a rapidly changing industry. Delegating helps you get more work done and creates a well-trained workforce. Once a task has been assigned, trust that employee to complete it without you hovering over them.  For example, allow problems to work their way up a hierarchical chain before they reach you. This will empower your employees to make more of the day-to-day decisions. Stepping in to help an employee who truly needs direction is not the same as micromanaging. Good bosses remember that their employees aren’t just cogs in a machine. They have goals, too. Know what your employees are working toward, and help them get there by assigning tasks and trainings that best suit those goals while also supporting your organization. Invest in your employees, and they’ll invest in you. Supporting your employee’s goals can help you retain your best employees rather than see them walk away to another company.

Challenge yourself to look at others and appreciate the things they can do and, more generally, to appreciate people for who they are. Understand that everybody is different and relish the chance you have to experience different people. You will still have your personal tastes, your likes and dislikes, but train yourself to separate your opinions from your fears and you will appreciate others more - you will be more humble as well. Being able to appreciate the talents and qualities of other people can also make you recognize qualities that you want to improve or attain within yourself. While competition can be healthy and stimulating, it's nearly impossible to be humble when we're constantly striving to be the "best" or trying to be better than others.  Instead, try looking at yourself more. Remember, the ultimate goal isn't to be better than anyone else, it's to be better than the person you used to be. When you focus your energy on improving yourself instead of comparing you to everyone else, you'll find that it is much easier to make yourself better since you don't have to worry about whether or not you're better or worse than anyone. Every individual is unique. Appreciate people for who they are as human beings, not for their skills and appearance in relation to yours. Although it is ultimately up to you to decide if you were right or wrong, it is a whole different thing to acknowledge that you make mistakes and that you're not always right. Somewhat more difficult however, is the ability to acknowledge that in many cases other people — even people who disagree with you — may be right. Deferring to your spouse's wishes, to a law you don't agree with, or even, sometimes, to your child's opinion takes your recognition of your limitations to a different level. Instead of simply saying you are humble and as a person you will make mistakes, you should also concentrate on living with that mindset - being humble is a way of life, not a one-time action. This is another way of appreciating others. Contemplate...

Challenge yourself to talk to at least a couple new people every day. It can be tough to approach new people at school or work, especially if you’re naturally shy. Try to relax, remind yourself that everyone gets nervous, and take a step out of your comfort zone.  For example, instead of eating lunch alone, look for someone you’ve never met and say, “Hey there! Is this seat taken?” Later on, they’ll probably notice you when you pass them in the hallway and say hello. If you’re nervous, remember that everyone has insecurities and gets shy, even if they seem totally confident on the outside. When you meet someone or have a conversation, smile naturally and look them in the eye. Try not to fake a smile and, if you have to, think of something that cracks you up without fail. When making eye contact, don’t stare without blinking, but look at the person directly to show you’re paying attention to them. Whether you’re having lunch with someone new or at a work meeting, try to think of thoughtful questions that show you’re engaged in the moment. When the person responds, try to pay attention to them instead of just thinking of something interesting to say. For example, if you’re at a new school, ask the person sitting next to you, “What do you do for fun? Are you in any clubs or do you play a sport?” Instead of asking another unrelated question after they respond, say something like, “Oh cool! I’ve never played hockey, but it’s fun to watch. Do lots of people go to games and show school spirit?” Once they respond, try mentioning an activity that you are interested in to build the conversation. From your music taste to snowboarding, an interest or hobby can make you more noticeable. However, you don't want to just adopt the interests of your crush or a popular person to get them to notice you.  Figure out what you enjoy and do it. If you love a music genre, listen to as many tracks and artists as you can and learn about its evolution. Developing an interest or hobby can help you spark conversations and get noticed by...

Challenge yourself. Look for ways to step outside of your comfort zone by taking tiny actions. Once you've made stepping out of your comfort zone into a daily routine, it'll be much easier to handle bigger challenges. For example, you could start up a conversation with a stranger at the grocery store, listen to a new genre of music on your drive to work, or try a different flavored coffee in the morning. If you're stuck in a rut, break the pattern! Look for spots in your life that feel repetitive or monotonous. Target these as opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. For example, if you always order vanilla ice cream, go for caramel next time. Change the way you view your day-to-day life. Look at each day at a chance for you to learn something new. Remember that this can only happen if you're stepping outside your comfort zone. You can do this by always making an effort to find ways to grow. Start a book you've been meaning to read. Buy a different newspaper than the one you always read. Take a different route to get to work. You never know what you'll learn about the world when you explore different sides of it!

Challenges are parts of the story guests figure out along the way. If your guests are new to escape rooms, stick to only 3 or 4 challenges. If you think they would like a more difficult escape room, think of 5 or more challenges.  Challenges for a zombie escape room could be to figure out who the first person was to become infected, what the cure for the zombies is, and finding the location of the cure. For a futuristic theme, you could require the players to determine what year they are in, how they got there, and how to get back to the present. If you're creating an escape room for more than 6 people, consider breaking them into two teams, or setting up challenges that can be solved simultaneously. That way, everyone who is participating will be entertained. Make sure each challenge is solvable in the amount of time you're giving the players. Once they solve the challenge or puzzle, it should then lead them on to answer or unlock something.  For example, if the challenge is to unlock a door, you could choose to have the players decrypt messages, open a combination lock, or search for items in odd places in order to find the key. If the players have to decode a message sent by villain, they may need to find written clues in books, newspapers, and pictures. Purchase pad locks, bike locks, or a small safe. Create a puzzle where the answer is the combination to open the lock. Once the lock is opened, make sure you provide the next clue.  For example, you could hide the combination of the lock under a book. For a tricky challenge, put the key to the lock in a a separate box they have to unlock first. Write a code on the bottom of objects in the room that help players opening a lock or provide more information.  You could place several dice through the room with numbers missing. The players would then try piecing together the missing numbers to open a lock. Open a newspaper and underline certain words to make a sentence the players must piece together.

Chamomile also aids in healing because it has antibiotic and antiseptic properties. Soak a cloth in lukewarm chamomile tea and press it against the wound. You may also put cool tea bags directly onto the wound. Aloe vera can be used to treat wounds because of its healing properties. Try an ointment that containing aloe vera. You can also cut a piece of an aloe leaf from the plant. Slide the gel-like inside of the leaf across your wound. Tea tree oil is an essential oil that has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. To use it for your wound, place two drops of oil in a cup of warm water. Place a cotton ball in the solution and then dab it on the wound.  Because it is so strong, it needs to be diluted with water. You may want to test the tea tree oil on a small patch of skin before placing it on your wound. Some people are sensitive to tea tree oil. Different essential oils may help heal your wound. Mix a few drops of one of the essential oils with a carrier oil, like olive or almond oil. Lavender, eucalyptus, clove, rosemary, and chamomile essential oils have antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties and can help disinfect and heal the wound.

Chamomile is a mild herbal remedy that can works as an anti-inflammatory. If your stomach lining is upset by the imbalance of bacteria as a result of your medication, chamomile tea can help soothe your stomach.  Bring water to a boil, then pour over a chamomile tea bag. Cover your teacup or your pot, and allow your tea to steep for 15 to 20 minutes. The longer your tea steeps, the stronger it will be. Add a teaspoon of honey or other sweetener if you like, but the tea itself is quite sweet without additional sweetener. Placing a hot water bottle or electric heating pad may help your stomach relax, and feel better. If your pain is due to cramps caused by antibiotics, the feeling of warmth against your skin may help you relax and feel better.  If you don't have a hot pack, try filling a clean cloth container (a sock will work) with dried pinto beans or rice. Make sure the container is closed (you can tie it closed, or use a clothespin) and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds (or until the ingredients are warm to the touch). Don't let let the hot pack get too hot. You want it to feel warm against your skin. Find a comfortable place to lie down, where you can balance the hot pack against your stomach. Leave it in place for at least 15 minutes. You may repeat as often as you'd like to. Rice water is water that is left over after cooking rice. Drinking rice water helps soothe the stomach by making a sort of soothing barrier over the lining of your stomach.  Make your own rice water by cooking 1/2 cup of rice (plain white rice is fine) with twice the amount of water required - in this case, 1/2 cup of rice should be cooked with 2 cups of water. Bring the rice-water mix to a boil, then turn it down and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Pour rice and water through a sieve, reserving the rice for a bland meal. Catch the rice water in a bowl or kitchen pot. Fill a drinking glass with the rice water, and enjoy the rice water warm. You can add a spoonful of honey if you'd like. Ginger...

Chamomile tea is a great way to naturally lighten your hair, and it will cause no damage to your hair.  Steep chamomile tea for 30 minutes in a glass or ceramic pot. Let the tea cool to a lukewarm temperature. Wash your hair as you normally would, and use the lukewarm chamomile tea as a final rinse. Catch the used tea liquid in a bowl and rinse again with this. Let your hair dry in the sun. You will need to do this weekly--or even more frequently--to keep your highlights fresh. Peroxide is the bleaching agent that makes honey and cinnamon so useful for lightening hair. You can use hydrogen peroxide straight from the bottle, but it is very strong, and you will need to be careful not to damage your hair. Read this article for more information: How to Bleach Your Hair with Hydrogen Peroxide. The recent trend of ‘no-poo’ or washing your hair without shampoo has led people to the discovery that vinegar works to lighten hair. When you hop in the shower, rinse through your hair with apple cider vinegar. Doing this on a regular basis will slowly lighten your hair over time. Similar to vinegar, baking soda is a ‘no-poo’ alternative to chemical-filled shampoos that also lightens hair color. When you go to shower, sprinkle your hair with baking soda and rub it deep into the roots. The paste that develops should bleach your hair naturally

Champagne is ideally served between 44.6 and 57.2 F (7 to 14 C). Fill a wine or metal bucket halfway with a half-and-half ice and water mixture. Gently place the bottle into the bucket, and finish filling the bucket with more ice and water. Make sure to leave the top third of the bottle exposed. Whether you plan on finishing the bottle immediately or not, keeping it cold is one of the most important factors to preserving its flavor and fizz. In fact, if you plan to consume your open bottle within 24 hours, you can simply refrigerate it, uncovered, for the duration. Not only can freezing the wine destroy its flavor, but a bottle can also explode if it's left too long.

Champions identify the gifts that they've been given and seek to develop them into expertise. Competitive skill, natural athletic ability, and other talents are the seed from which championships grow, but they need to be watered with intelligent focus and hard training. You can't hop straight into the NBA or get hired on as a CEO for a tech company without identifying your talents and training to improve them. An athlete who is not gifted with blazing speed can make up for it by increasing their agility, strength, jumping ability, or strategy, but it's important to be honest. If you're an intelligent soccer player, you won't develop an attachment for playing striker if your shot is inaccurate, but your defending skills are top-notch. Explore lots of competitive and non-competitive fields to see where you might be great. Diversify your talents and find your expertise.  Maybe you've idolized LeBron James since childhood and can't get it out of your head to be a professional basketball champion, just like him. If you can't shoot your way out of a cardboard box and stumble on your own feet when you try to shoot a lay-up, that might be hard. But maybe you're built like Dick Butkus, or you can do the quadratic formula in your head–maybe you were destined for greatness in some other field. Play lots of different sports, even if you're worried you won't be good. If you love football, try out volleyball to develop hand-eye-coordination and see if your skills translate. If you love playing tennis, try out a team sport like soccer to see if you don't enjoy playing a role in a group of champions. Approach every new field of play with the desire to be great at it, with the expectation you will master it. When you're learning how to cook, when you're learning how to drive a manual transmission vehicle, when you're learning to speak German, treat it like you're walking onto the field of competition and that you'll come out champion. If you've narrowed in on a set of skills and natural abilities, what is your ultimate goal?...

Chances are good that the grammar rules of your target language will be quite different from that of your native language. Spending some time learning how sentences are structured, such as the word order, parts of speech, and subject-verb agreement, will help you in the long run. Words that you would use daily should be the first ones you learn. Try starting with personal pronouns (I, you, she, he, they, etc.) and common nouns (boy, girl, chair, table, city, teacher, restroom, school, airport, restaurant, etc.) before moving on to adjectives (green, thin, fast, beautiful, cold, etc.) or verbs (go, do, take, leave, offer, meet, etc.), which will need to be conjugated. You’ll likely want to figure out how to ask a few simple questions, such as “Where is the restroom/train station/hotel/school?” and “How much does this (coffee, newspaper, train ticket) cost?” You’ll also probably want to learn to say “My name is…” “What is your name?” “How are you doing?” and “I’m doing well/poorly.” Think of a few dozen phrases you want to know and start with those. One word may make you think of another. Try to build mental images or draw pictures based on connections. It doesn’t matter how obscure or silly they may seem if it will help you remember. Repetition is one of the best ways to learn vocabulary. Make flash cards with your vocab words and go through them daily. You can even post the cards around your room or home so that you see them often. You can also use an automated flashcard generator (e.g., lingua.ly).

Chances are that if you have to stay up all night, it will require that you study specific information. Finding out exactly what material you need to study can help you formulate a plan to effectively get through the night.  Check your syllabus and carefully read through the instructions or information on the material you need to know. Read your class notes to see if the teacher or professor made any special announcements you should consider when formulating your plan. Make a list of everything you need to cover. Prioritize information that's most important for your exam or assignment and put it at the top of your list.  Consider adding less-relevant topics towards the bottom of your list to cover later in the night. Lecture notes and course readings are an integral part of any class. Having these materials at your fingertips can help you keep your work flow going and, in turn, study more efficiently throughout the night.  Ensure you have your notes, books, as well as extra pens and paper to take notes with. This will keep you from getting up unnecessarily and disrupting your focus. It would be a good idea to have your laptop or tablet handy as well as some snacks and beverages. Dedicate the most time to the most important material you need to study. This can include material that you don't know as well. Place the important stuff earlier in your study session or after breaks. Be as specific as possible. For example, you could write:  8:00pm to 9:00pm: read pages 60-100 of history textbook 9:00 to 9:15pm: break 9:15 to 10:15pm: read pages covering primary documents 4-10 in history sourcebook 10:15 to 10:30pm: break Every person has a different style of learning. Knowing how you study best can help you tackle getting through the night in the most effective way. It may also help you retain information better.  Think about past all-nighter or the conditions under which you’ve studied most easily. What methods or techniques did you use? For example, if you work best in complete silence, study at home or in a...

Chances are that most sites that list available proxies are also blocked at your school. Building a list at home will help you find more sites to use. A proxy site is a site that fetches the blocked website for you, and displays it through the proxy site. This means that the filter software never actually sees you going to the blocked site (YouTube), just the proxy site. Your search result should list quite a few sites that index available proxy sites. Your school's network administrators actively block new proxy websites as they appear, meaning that a large number of the sites you find will already not work. Grab sites from multiple different proxy lists. You just need to be able to access your list from the school's computer. If it is blocked, move on to the next site until you find one that is unblocked. youtube.com into the URL field. Click the button to open the site. A proxy will increase the time it takes for sites to load since the traffic has to be routed through the proxy server. This means videos will take longer than normal to play. Also, make sure that your proxy doesn't block scripts, or else YouTube won't load.

Chances are that you’ll want or need to end a conversation with a person or people you don’t know. Make up a common excuse to get you out of the conversation and leave the experience positive. You might tell the others that you are:  Going to grab another drink or some more food. Making an important phone call. Heading to the restroom. Getting some fresh air. If something or someone interrupts your conversation, take it as end your interaction. This can help you find another person or group with whom to socialize or bring into the conversation.  Recognize natural pauses in the conversation. If there are a lot of “ums” and “ahs,” this may be your cue to excuse yourself. You could say “oh, I just realized how late it is” after looking at a clock or your watch or “I’ve really enjoyed talking, but I need to excuse myself and go to the restroom.” Look for a common item in the room that jogs your memory. For example, say “wow, I didn’t realize that the buffet is closing down so early. I need to grab something to eat because I haven’t had dinner yet,” after glancing towards the food. See if there is anyone else with whom you’ve chatted at the event and mention the person to your conversation partner. For example, you could say “You know, I was just talking to that gentleman Tom about this same thing. Maybe we could make our way in that direction and get his views. He had a really interesting take on the matter.” Frame your exit as beneficial to your conversation mate or mates. You can make comments such as “I don’t want to monopolize your time” to signal that you’re ready to finish the conversation. Excuse yourself with phrases such as “I’m sure don’t want me to monopolize your time with all of these interesting people around. I’ll let you go in the hope that we’ll see each other again soon.” Ask the person or group for a way to stay in contact or follow up on the conversation. This can naturally cue them that you need to excuse yourself and that the chat is over.  Ask the person for their email address or phone...

Chances are that you’re losing a lot of fluids and valuable electrolytes if you have diarrhea. Making sure you stay hydrated not only can help you feel better but also flush out your system more quickly.  Try and get at least 8 ounces of clear liquids every hour. Clear liquids include water, broths, juices and even clear carbonated beverages. Broth and clear soups such as chicken soup and 100% fruit juices are good choices because they will also help replace electrolytes.  Consider carrying your liquid with you in a bottle or Thermos. Let your teacher or the school nurse know why you have it in case there is a problem. For example, say, “I know it’s against policy to have a drink, but I’ve been very sick and need to make sure I’m drinking enough water throughout the day.” You can also ask your parent or a school nurse to provide a note as an explanation for your teacher. Avoid drinking any caffeinated drinks like coffee or black tea. You should also not drink alcohol. If you have diarrhea, your stomach is probably very upset and needs a chance to rest. Eating according to the BRAT diet-- which stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast-- can settle your stomach and intestinal tract as well as replace electrolytes.  Have boiled potatoes, crackers, and gelatin at lunch if you can. Consider carrying your lunch and snacks such as soda crackers can also help ease your stomach. Other good options are bananas, apricots, and sports drinks.  If you bring perishable foods to school, make sure that you can put your lunch in a refrigerator until it's time to eat it. You can also keep your food cold with ice packs in your lunch box. Try eating foods such as soft fruit, vegetables, and cereal if you are feeling better. It’s important to be gentle on your stomach if you are hungry when you have diarrhea. Stay away from spicy, fatty, or fried foods as well as dairy products. These could further upset your stomach and make your diarrhea worse  Avoid adding any spices to your food or eating spicy meals at lunch, such as...

Chances are you already have a resume that lead you to an interview. However, be sure to read your resume over once again, and make any necessary changes. You may have an experience you would like to add, or contact information to update. It is also important to read over everything outlined in your resume because the interviewer will ask you questions in regards to that information. Before sitting down for an interview, make sure you have gained some knowledge about the company you are applying for. Research their mission statement and values, so you can gain a better understanding on some of the possible questions you may be asked during your interview. Develop a few questions from your research that you can ask at the end of your interview. This will show your interviewer that you took the time to learn about the company. Job interviews are not something you do everyday, so when you finally sit down for one, it can feel unnatural. Try practicing your interviewing skills until it begins to feel easy. Say your strengths and work experience out loud like you would at your formal interview, and have your friend listen to you. This will help you feel more confident when you sit down for your formal interview. Let your friend ask you interview questions and give you feedback to help you improve. Your outfit will be one of the first impressions your interviewer has about you, so make sure you put thought into it. Regardless of the type of job you are applying for, you should dress sharp, and never be casual. Your clothes should be ironed, there should be no stains or tears, and your shirt should always be tucked in.  For men, a suit, tie, and jacket is a strong look that shows you are professional. Women can wear a blouse with slacks, or a pencil skirt. A portfolio is a collection of works (art, writing, photos, etc.) you've accomplished in the past. Some careers require this, while others do not. For example, architects could include structures they have designed, or journalists could include writing samples....

Chances are your bottle of unopened vodka is fine to drink after storing it for an extended period of time. If you've already opened the bottle and it's been a long time since you drank it, check the vodka before mixing up a drink. Throw out the vodka if:  You notice a strange smell It has an unusual or noticeably bad taste It looks different (cloudy or simply looks different than when you bought it) Pure vodka will last for years if stored properly. But if you have vodka that's flavored with natural ingredients, you should be checking it periodically to make sure it's not going bad. It's a good idea to clean through your entire liquor cabinet every 6 months or so. This will encourage you to use up alcohol that has a limited shelf life or throw out alcohol that's no longer good. Liquors with dairy or natural flavorings often have an expiration date listed on the bottle. Some of these may even benefit from being stored in the refrigerator instead of in the cabinet. If you have young children in your house, you should take extra care to make sure your vodka is out of their reach. Although your children might not go looking for your alcohol, young children are curious and may find it. To prevent accidents, keep alcohol in a high up place and lock the storage container or liquor cabinet. Even if you trust your older children, locking the liquor cabinet is a good idea. If your teen is being pressured by a friend to take your alcohol, a locked cabinet gives your child a good excuse for not giving in to the pressure. If you have teenagers in your house, you should be monitoring how much alcohol you have on hand. While you should be able to trust your children, studies suggest that monitoring alcohol in the household sends a message to your children that underage drinking is not acceptable. To monitor alcohol in your house, try:  Marking the sides of liquor bottles to track the levels Writing down how many bottles of each alcohol you have Making note of when you open a bottle of spirits or liquor

Chances are your rabbit will want to rule the house. While you can’t expect the kind of submission you can get from a dog, you must have the respect of your rabbit in order to train it. The most common way rabbits try to assert dominance is inappropriate nipping or biting you to try to herd you or get you to leave your sitting place. If this occurs, let out a short, loud, high-pitched squeal and either put your rabbit down on the floor (if it has jumped up where you’re sitting) or pick it up and move it out of the way from you (if it is on the floor already). Do this firmly, but gently. You don’t want to hurt your rabbit or make it fear you, you simply want to assert that you are in charge. If your rabbit continues the behavior, put it in its crate for a “time-out.” First, approach your rabbit calmly so you do not elicit a fear response from the rabbit. Hang out on the floor with your rabbit. Have some treats on the floor. Reward the rabbit for coming closer to you. Leave your hand down. If the rabbit comes up to you and does not seem afraid or does not try to bite you, try to gently stroke the rabbit's head for just a few seconds.  If you do not back down and avoid the reflex to “run away” if the bunny charges you, the rabbit will learn that this behavior does not work to intimidate you.  Never hit the rabbit. You and your hands are the sources of food and pleasure, like petting on top of the rabbit’s head. If you are afraid of being injured, wear long pants, shoes, long sleeves and gloves if necessary to protect yourself from bites. A change in your rabbit’s behavior, including aggression, should be investigated to eliminate the chance that there is a medical issue causing the problem. Consult with a veterinarian familiar with rabbits to rule out pain, for instance, as a cause for misbehavior. Hormones can also influence bunny behavior and having your rabbit spayed or neutered may help decrease territorial aggression, for instance.

Chances are, you know someone who was adopted. Talking with them can help you understand how they learned they were adopted and what they did afterward. Friends may also be able to offer you advice on how to bring your questions to your family. Thanks to social media, it is now very easy to get in touch with people from your past even if you can’t visit your childhood home in person. Understand, though, that people may not feel comfortable discussing their knowledge of your family with you. Explain to them why you want to know, but don’t press them for information if they seem reluctant. Many people go through the process of discovering that they’re adopted and dealing with that information every year. A support group of other adoptees may be able to offer you advice and resources for your own search, as well as help you handle the process emotionally. DNA sampling can track your genetic markers and compare them to those of other family members. You can visit a genetic specialist, or you can use a mail-order test like the “Family Finder” test. For this option, though, you will need to get another close relative (a parent, sibling, or first cousin) to agree to have a test done so that you have a point of comparison. If you buy a DNA test online, go with a reputable provider. The three biggest providers of online DNA testing are Ancestry.com, 23 and me, and FamilyTreeDNA. These companies also often maintain large databases of other individuals who have had these tests and can compare your DNA to theirs. A DNA test can offer you clues to your genetic identity, but it is often limited in its effectiveness without a large pool for comparison. If you are having a DNA test done without the participation of another family member, your information may be less useful.  There are 3 basic kinds of DNA tests: mitochondrial (inherited maternal DNA), Y-line (inherited paternal DNA, but only works for males), and autosomal (inherited relations to others such as cousins). Autosomal DNA tests may be the best option for...

Chances are, you may run out of room on the marker to weave the paper. Find the end of the marker, and peel the ends of the paper away from the glue or tape. Slide the marker through the finger trap until it sticks out of the other end. You now have more marker to weave over!  You don't have to glue or tape the ends of the paper down after this. You may have to push the marker through the finger trap a few times in order to make room for weaving. How much you push the marker up by does not really matter. As long as you have enough room to keep weaving the paper, you're all set! As you weave the paper, you'll notice it becoming shorter and shorter. When you have about 2 centimetres (0.79 in) leftover, finish weaving the paper, then glue the ends of the strips together. Do the 2 strips on the front of the pen first, then do the 2 on the back. Once again, you can use hot glue, liquid school glue, or a glue stick. The trick to using a Chinese finger trap is to gently slide your finger (or marker in this case) out. Don't yank the marker or pull it too hard. Depending on how tightly you wove the paper, you may be able to just stand it on its end and let the marker slide out on its own. When you glued the strips together in the beginning, they made perfect right angles. When you glued them at the end, however, you may have ended up with some paper sticking out from under the top strip. Use scissors to trim this excess paper off so that it is even with the paper that's on top. For example, if you have an orange strip sticking out from under a yellow strip, trim it down until it is flush with the yellow strip. The harder you pull on your fingers, the tighter the trap will become. The trick is to push your fingers together so that the trap widens. Once the trap widens, brace it with your thumbs, then slide your index fingers out. Be careful not to flatten the finger trap. If the paper strips develop creases, they won't slide past each other, and the trap won't work as well.

Chances are, you’ll feel uneasy bringing up this topic and talking it over with your husband. Don’t let the fear of discomfort dissuade you from expressing what you need to say. Remember that your current situation also makes you uncomfortable. Accept that discussing your husband’s alcoholism is going to feel uncomfortable, no matter what. Be brave and take the step. Don’t try to have this conversation when he is drinking or about to drink. Instead, choose a time when both of you are sober. Make time to have this discussion and not have things to rush off to afterward.  Don’t try to talk about the alcoholism when you are angry or upset. If you become frustrated when he opens a can of beer, now is not the time to have this discussion. Wait until both of you are in a calm and neutral state before opening the discussion. You may need to schedule time to talk. While it may be way easier to come from a place of judgment, anger, and disappointment, be compassionate. You are not chastising your husband, you are asking him to get help, for the betterment of himself and his family. Communicate your love, concern, and support to your husband. You may feel second best to alcohol when your husband turns to drinking before turning to you. You may even feel like you cannot compete with the relationship your husband has with alcohol. While your husband may support your family financially, tell him if you feel like you feel under-supported emotionally or with the family. If you feel difficulty in emotionally connected, tell him this, too.  Be honest with your feelings and disappointments. Say how the drinking not only affects you, but others as well, like kids, friends, or family. Instead of blaming onto your husband for his drinking, state your feelings. Keep statements focused on you and your feelings, not on him. Instead of saying, “Drinking makes you distant and detached” say, “It hurts me that you feel so far from me, and I miss the connection we shared.” Instead of saying, “You don’t spend any time with the kids” say,...

Chances are, you’ve grown a lot since seventh grade and some of your everyday clothes don’t fit you anymore. Try on your old clothes in your wardrobe, and donate or give away any old pieces that don’t fit. Check your school dress code to see what clothing is okay, and what is prohibited.  Many schools don’t let students wear short shorts, tank tops, or clothes of particular colors. Check the rules before you buy new clothes to make sure that what you are getting will be appropriate. Talk to your friends about what they are planning to wear to school if you are struggling for ideas. This will help to give you a good picture about what your peers will be wearing. Over the summer, your school will have sent you a list of all of the things that you will need for the year ahead. This list usually includes things like notebooks, pens, pencils, and book covers, however things like a water bottle and gym shoes if you are taking gym are a good idea too.  If you won’t be eating cafeteria food, get a lunch box to hold your food throughout the day. The subjects that you are taking will determine what you need for the school year. You can write down when all of your homework and assignments are due so that you don't forget about any of them. You can also write daily to-do lists, to help break up your workload into manageable chunks.  A daily planner is also a great place to put your goals for eighth grade. You can include the grades you are aiming for, deadlines you want to meet, and any extra-curricular activities you want to participate in. Some highlighter pens and sticky notes can also help you to further organize your planner. Being prepared for your first day can help to settle any nerves if you have them. Make sure that you have all of your school supplies ready in your bag to transport to your locker, your lunch if you need a packed lunch, a water bottle, and gym shoes if you need them. There are also many other supplies that you can pack in your backpack to help you feel ready for eighth grade. A hairbrush, hand...

Chances of cutting are higher when they are at home where she can have access to her tools. This can be from multiple different objects, such as razors, knives, scissors, or glass bottles. Encourage them to remove these objects from their environment so they aren't tempted to cut themself. Sit with them as they move the objects out of their immediate area. If they aren't ready to throw them away yet, have them put them on a high shelf or in a room across the house. This will give them more time to think about what they are doing before they do it, which may make them not want to cut themself. Getting your friend's mind off of their troubles is a great way to help them not want to self-harm. With their consent, try to change their surroundings and environment to help them feel better. Go on a trip, change the arrangement and decor in their room, change the wall colors, or put some interesting, funny posters, or inspirational posters. You can also help them choose the changes they want in their room and help them put those changes into effect. This can be a change in the way the room smells, looks, or feels. Be part of the process from start to finish. Take them shopping for the new items in the room and don't leave them until the project is done. Help them enjoy the process of welcoming changes into their life. Fighting the urge to cut herself can be especially hard when they are at home alone with nothing else on their mind or if they are preoccupied with themself and the painful feelings. Tell them to call you or visit when they have the urge to cut themself. Try to involve yourself in activities along with them that will keep their mind off of it. Think about their likes, interests, and hobbies and try to do something that involves those things.  If they love nature, go for a hike. If they love to paint, encourage them to paint. They can do anything creative to help, such as write a story, play an instrument, or draw a picture. They can also watch a movie or TV show, listen to music, play a game, or...

Chanel believed in embracing new fashion and trying unusual combinations. She believed fashion was made to eventually become unfashionable, so take chances. This was her favorite color combination, as shown by her little black dress. Color blocking hats, scarves, sweaters, shirts, pants, shoes and coats creates definition and classic style. Once you have color blocking perfected with black and white, start adding brighter colors. Coco Chanel said, “Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions.” She liked jackets, purses, skirts and hems with straight lines. A cropped coat or a blazer can instantly add a designer look to an outfit. It doesn’t have to be a Chanel fragrance, but it should be something that defines you as much as your clothing. Consider switching fragrances between summer and winter.

Change all your clothes, including your shirt and shorts or pants, all your undergarments (like your underwear, bra, and socks), as well as any clothing items that touch your skin (such as a tank, camisole, or slip). Fresh clothes will keep you smelling great all day long. You may want to change your socks several times per day if you have especially stinky or sweaty feet. It’s a good idea to launder clothing items each time you wear them to remove odors. Your detergent doesn't have to be expensive, and it doesn't have to be loaded with strong fragrances. However, it does need to get rid of hidden odors within your clothes and leave you with fresh garments. You can add 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of white vinegar to your washing machine during the rinse cycle to help eliminate odors and remove sweat. Shoes can easily become smelly if they aren’t cleaned often due to the accumulation of sweat and bacteria. When they get especially dirty or stinky, wash them in your washing machine and allow them to dry in direct sunlight. In between washings, stuff your shoes with newspaper overnight to remove odors. You can also put dryer sheets in your shoes to improve their scent.  If your shoes cannot be washed, use a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to wipe out the interior and kill bacteria. Alternate between several pairs of shoes if possible. Wear one pair one day and another pair the next day to give your other shoes time to air out and dry out. Though these foods are good for you, the odors come out through your pores and stink up your breath. Alcohol and red meat also change your body odor, so try to cut down on consumption of those items as well. Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables, instead. Staying hydrated keeps your skin moisturized, which actually allows pleasant scents from lotions or fragrances to adhere to your skin better. Men should drink 15.5 cups (3.7 L) of water per day, while women should drink 11.5 cups (2.7 L) of water per day. After bathing, you can apply a scented lotion to your skin.

Change can be good. Perhaps the relationship was emotionally taxing and causing you more stress than reward. Recognize the freedom you now have, which brings about new opportunities.  Feel the relief of not having to worry about the other person or be concerned with the drama they brought into your life. Spend time outside of work developing healthy relationships with friends, and others who could become romantic interests. Keep things “light and airy”, which means: stay away from deep thoughts, discussions, troubles or complaints. Portray a sense of calm and optimism that can't be pulled down by the negativity or awkwardness of the situation.  Focusing on the positive will guard against being pulled into negative discussions.  No one can take your power away from you if you remain positive. Reacting to an agitating remark will give your power to the other person. You are in control and responsible for your feelings. It is an important job. Be accepting of yourself. If you are feeling guilty or remorseful about having a relationship with someone in the work place, at school or with your roommate, you will need to forgive yourself. It doesn't mean that you forgive and “forget” what you did, and then do it again. Forgive with the intent of learning from your mistakes and stopping any attempts to self-sabotage yourself in the future. Actors get paid to pretend. You may not be an actor, but there might be a time when you need to pretend that you are doing fine when you really aren't. It is a way of protecting yourself from further hurt. Get yourself through an awkward interaction in any way that you can.  Discuss it later with a trusted friend or family member, which will allow you to process the feelings that were stirred up. Venting your feelings is a legitimate way of processing feelings and will probably make you feel better. Many people are not comfortable with silence. They feel compelled to put words into the air as if they will ease the tension in the situation. Develop a level of comfort with silence....

Change doesn’t have to be a bad thing and many positive things can result from change. There’s no need to assume the worst when change comes along. Instead, think of what positive things may result from change. For example, it can be hard to move, but think about the exciting parts of starting a new adventure together, exploring new places, and meeting new people. If you feel like your partner has all of a sudden changed (especially for the worst), consider that your partner always had these traits, but you’re seeing him or her differently now. Once the honeymoon phase is over, you may see your partner in a different light, and it may not always be pleasant. You may not want to immediate blame your partner for the changes and instead, recognize that your perception may have changed. if you’re really bothered by something your partner does, recognize that it’s your own annoyance that is bothering you, not your partner. Find ways to cope with your feelings of annoyance or upset, such as learning to tune out behaviors or taking deep breaths. Sometimes one partner may change a viewpoint that changes the relationship, like about marriage or having kids. Don’t take differences in views or beliefs personally. Just because you and your partner have different views doesn’t mean that one is attacking the other. It doesn’t mean that your approach is lesser than and there doesn’t have to be a “best” and “worse.” It just means that you disagree, and it’s okay to accept those differences. It’s okay to call some topics “off limits” if you know that they bring conflict with no resolution. Things like politics or religion can cause major disagreements with no obvious resolution. Agree not to discuss certain topics together. If the change causes confusion or strong emotions, take some time away from each other and away from arguing. Make sure that you agree on the amount of time and that you use the time to think about the problem. Simply taking time away from each other will not solve the problem.   For example, you might...

Change is very healthy and is often unavoidable in life. But it’s important to take stock of why you’re trying to change your life. Many factors can motivate a person to seek change, and everyone’s reasons will vary somewhat depending on their circumstances. But before you decide to change, it’s important to make sure you’re changing for the right reasons. Think about what your motivations are for turning a new leaf. Do you want to change for yourself, or for others? Why does change matter to you? Goals and intentions are meaningless without commitment. No matter what your goals are, make a promise to yourself that you will not give up on your goals, and that you will work tirelessly to achieve success. If you can't commit to doing it for yourself, commit to succeeding for someone else's sake: a proud parent, a supportive partner, or a caring friend. No matter what you have to do, make yourself a promise that you will not give up. . If you’ve suffered any kind of misfortune or unhappiness, it can easily feel like the circumstances of your past will forever determine your future. But the reality is that the past does not have to govern your future. You can make a conscious effort to let go of the past and create your own future success.  If you are trying to overcome a trauma from your past but feel stuck in moving forward and progressing, counseling can be extremely helpful and is often necessary. Learning to deal with negative thoughts, stop ruminating, and overcome failure can be extremely helpful in letting go of a difficult past. Life changes rarely happen overnight. More likely it will be a long journey, filled with rewarding moments and frustrating ones. Cultivate a positive outlook and a promising future by finding little ways to change every day.  Change one behavior at a time. Work on really improving one aspect of your life before moving on to the next aspect of your life. If you try to change everything at once, it may feel like nothing is improving.

Change the prefix of that word to every letter in the alphabet. For example, if you needed to find a word that rhymes with, "fog," start at A and go "aog, bog, cog, dog, eog, ... zog," until you reach Z.  Write down every word that is real, such as "bog," "cog," and "dog" and only select the most interesting choices. If one doesn't work, alter the first line to serve the poem or song. When going through the alphabet, inserting an R or an L into short words will often make another word. So if you were looking for a rhyme with cat, you could find bat as well as brat; fat, as well as flat and frat. It's a trick of the trade. Use other multi-letter prefixes you know to build more complicated words with which to rhyme. First letters won't always cut it. For example, "frog" and "clog" are real words that rhyme with bog. Try multisyllabic words like "bullfrog" or "epilogue." If no word works, consider changing the keyword to a synonym of that word, or abandoning your rhyme scheme for a line or two. For example, you could substitute "mist" for "fog," but only use rhymes to improve the poem or song, never to rhyme for the sake of rhyming. Hard rhymes, sometimes called true rhymes, "sound" right to our ear because of identical vowel and consonant combinations. "Moon" and "spoon" are hard rhymes because of the long "o" sound and the "n." Slant rhymes are rhymes in which either the vowel or the consonant in similar, creating a kind of echo of the rhyme, and giving you all kinds of possibilities. "Moon" could be slant rhymed with "on" or "schooner" or "groom" or even "gong". Slant rhymes offer complexity and surprise to a regular series of hard rhymes. It's worth it to invest in a good rhyming dictionary to consult. It's not cheating to use a dictionary for rhyming just as it isn't cheating to use a thesaurus while writing.

Change your sleeping habits so that each day is the same -- even on weekends. The best way to do this is to figure out what time you need to be up for work or school, then calculate backwards to ensure that you'll get enough hours of sleep. This will give you your bedtime and wake-up time.  For example, you may need to get up at 6:00 a.m. to be at work by 8:00 a.m. To get 7-9 hours of sleep, you'd need to set your bedtime sometime between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. If you need to get used to going to bed earlier, it's best to do so in 15-30 minute intervals. Let your body get used to the earlier bedtime before you set it another 15-30 minutes earlier.  This trains your brain to know when to go to sleep so that you don't lie in bed tossing and turning. This wrecks your sleep schedule, making it harder to get the good sleep you need. Do your best to stick to the same sleep schedule during the weekend as you need during your work week. Over time, this will have you feeling well-rested.  At first, you may want to schedule early morning activities on your weekend days so that you have an incentive to rise early. For example, make a plan with a friend or partner to go on an early morning hike. Don't plan any late-night events on Friday or Saturday while you're trying to establish your sleep schedule. After you establish your sleep schedule, you can occasionally sleep in for 1-2 hours without disturbing your sleep schedule.  It can take weeks to establish your sleep schedule, depending on your current sleep and wake cycle. Plan to adjust your bedtime by just 15-30 minutes at a time. Sleep hours can vary depending on your age. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night, while teenagers require 8-11 hours each night. Children should get 10-13 hours of sleep each night. Young children also require naps. For example, a 2-year-old should nap for 1-2 hours, while a 1-year-old should nap for up to 4 hours, spread throughout the day. Naps can disrupt your sleep schedule, making it hard to fall asleep at night. Stay awake...

Changes in a household can cause stress that triggers a cat's insecurity, leading him to spray to claim his space. If your cat has been spraying, establishing a routine can reduce his stress and eliminate spraying.  Feed your cat at the same time each day, and keep his litter box, bed, and toys in the same areas.  If you have company, put your cat in a separate room. This is especially important if your visitors have cats of their own whose scents may be transmitted via their clothing. This can trigger stress, and in turn spraying.  Certain pheromone sprays, available at most pet stores, are designed to calm cats. If you know a big change is coming, such as a new household member or pet, investing in one of these sprays can help cats transition. If you live in a multiple cat household, spraying is often a result of a cat's territorial nature. Making sure all your cats have adequate space can reduce spraying.  Provide multiple perches. Cats love to be up high to observe. You can either clear a window sill or space on a bookshelf or purchase cat condos/cat trees from local pet stores.  Have multiple sources of food, water, scratching posts, and toys available.  Provide more than one litter box. Although spraying is different from urinating, limited litter box space can trigger territorial responses like spraying. Invest in more than one litter box, and scoop both daily. Repeated spraying often comes in response to the scent of a cat's urine, especially in multiple cat households. Pet odors needs to be neutralized in order to stop recurrence.  Anything that can be washed in a washing machine should be, using standard detergent.  A concoction made from 50% water and 50% white vinegar can be placed in a spray bottle and squirted onto surfaces where a cat has sprayed. This neutralizes the odor and discourages future spraying.  Local pet stores, branches of Petco, and even some supermarkets and department stores sell cleaners laced with synthetic pheromones and certain enzymes that remove odors that encourage...

Changes in the condition or appearance of a guinea pig's eyes are often an indication of infection.  Conjunctivitis (pink eye), for instance, which is a bacterial eye infection, tends to cause redness and inflammation on the eyelid and surrounding the eye, and can cause oozing or dripping of fluid from the eye. While ear infections are less common than eye infections in guinea pigs, check the ears for pus or other discharge.  Also, if your guinea pig appears to be going deaf, is constantly scratching its ears, is walking with a tilt or imbalance, or is walking in circles or rolling, you may be dealing with an ear infection. Guinea pig teeth grow constantly and are meant to be kept worn down to the proper length by the roughage they eat.  Due to heredity, improper diet, or another cause, some guinea pigs will end up with teeth that are too long and/or misaligned, which is known as malocclusion.  Malocclusion, in turn, can make eating difficult or even impossible, leading to a host of problems, or cause bleeding and possibly infections. If your guinea pig starts eating less than normal, start drooling far more than usual (sometimes called “the slobbers”), or is bleeding from the mouth, have it checked for malocclusion.  Most cases can be treated by filing or cutting down the teeth. Pneumonia is the most common cause of death in pet guinea pigs and is usually caused by a bacterial infection.  Treatment can be a challenge due to guinea pigs' intolerance for certain antibiotics, but early detection is the best way to increase the likelihood of recovery. Watch for unusual oozing or discharge from the nose; sneezing; difficulty breathing or wheezing; fever; weight loss; loss of appetite; change in attitude (depression); inflamed, crusty, or dull and sunken eyes; or lethargy.  Generally speaking, pneumonia should be ruled out any time your guinea pig displays common signs of illness. Your guinea pig's waste can tell you a good deal about its overall health.  A lack of frequent urine or stool production is an...

Changes in your living situation or even your sleep environment could lead to sleep problems. Did you just move into a new home? Are you sleeping in a new room, or with a new partner? Are you sleeping on a new mattress or pillow? These types of shifts, even if they are small, can affect your level of anxiety or stress. This will then impact your ability to get a good night's sleep. If you think environmental problem are keeping you awake, think about adjusting your mattress with a mattress pad to make it more comfortable. Or keep an item from your old room in your new room. Create a sense of calm and security in your sleep environment to help you go to sleep. Working a different work shift or a rotating shift can wreak havoc on your sleep schedule, especially if you rotate shifts on a regular basis.  Counteract shift work by adding 30 minute naps to your sleep schedule and lengthening the amount of time you allot for sleep. You should also use caffeine only during the first part of your shift to promote alertness at night and restfulness during the day. Try to minimize the number of shift changes you do to give your body's internal clock more time to adjust to a new work schedule. You may want to also talk to your doctor about a prescription for short-acting sleeping pills to help you sleep during the day. Adjusting to a new time zone can take several days or even a week. Eastward travel generally causes more severe jet lag than westward travel, as traveling east requires you to shorten the day and your internal clock can better adjust to a longer day than a shorter day.  Decrease your exposure to light at bedtime and increase your exposure to light at wake time once you arrive. Spend a lot of time outdoors so your body gets used to the light cues in the new time zone. Adjust your internal clock by getting a good amount of sleep 2-3 days prior to the trip. If you are traveling west, make minor changes to your sleep schedule by delaying your normal bedtime and wake time progressively by 20-30 minute intervals....

Changes to your hamster’s skin can be indicative of health problems. In particular, look for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, and abscesses.  Red, flakey skin can be a sign of an infection or of other skin diseases. Check for dehydration by lifting the loose skin (the scruff) over the hamster's shoulders. Let go and it should snap straight back into place — this is normal. If the hamster is dehydrated the skin "tents" or stays in a peak. This is a serious sign and you should get the hamster checked by a vet. Your hamster may scratch more when she has a skin problem. This can help tip you off to the fact that one exists. However, it can also cause infection if the hamster is picking at her skin. Normally, a hamster’s fur should be be full and shiny. As hamsters age, their fur will thin. This is normal. However, if your hamster starts to lose fur all at once, he might be sick. Wet, matted fur around the hamster’s belly and tail can be signs of an infection. In particular, look for a runny nose, red or inflamed eyes, and puffy cheeks.  Hamsters often get a runny nose when sick, and are particularly vulnerable to catching colds. These are often not the most deadly of sicknesses, but if they persist, see a veterinarian. Your hamster has pouches in his cheeks to carry food around. If you notice that these pouches look full for a long time, it may be that they are infected.

Changing a behavior you have cultivated overtime takes a lot of time and repetition. Remember that change is a process that is not always linear. Don't be afraid to go back to the beginning and re-assess your behavior. At the same time, don't be hard on yourself if you find yourself unsuccessful on your first attempt. The more you practice and work through your passive aggressive tendencies, the more likely you are to successfully change your behavior. If you find yourself getting off track in your attempts to change passive-aggressive behavior, take a moment to pause and reflect on what is happening.  Ask yourself:  Can you identify the reasons why you are taking steps backward? Do you need to pause and take a different approach at changing that specific behavior? Is there an underlying feeling or emotional response you have not recognized or worked through yet? Once you understand what is bothering you, then you can start to speak up for yourself and say what you mean. Practice what you would say to find the right words without being in the heat of the moment. Hear how you're coming across. You can be forceful and direct without having to hurt the other person. Take the blame out of your words and communicate your feelings in a positive manner. Opening yourself up in this way may make you feel more vulnerable in the beginning but you'll gain confidence as you progress.  For example, you may be annoyed if someone at work because he always takes the last cup of coffee without starting a new pot for others.  Instead of being angry but keeping quiet until it builds into an incident, speak your mind.  Say, "I see that you're getting the last cup of coffee.  Would you mind starting a fresh pot if you get the last cup so that the rest of us can drink coffee on our break as well? Thank you!" At home, you can be clear with your expectations for your significant other.  If your partner is supposed to do the dishes after dinner and doesn't, try saying "I know that you are tired after working all day, but we agreed...

Changing doctors is a serious decision. Sometimes, the decision to switch is out of necessity. For example, if you or your doctor is moving out of the area, then it may be necessary to find a new doctor. Unfortunately, sometimes negligence or poor performance on behalf of your current doctor may prompt the desire to switch. You should consider finding a new doctor if any of the following occur:  The doctor dismisses your complaints, especially if you're older. Elderly patients frequently have doctors who overlook or ignore ailments by simply blaming age.  The doctor orders tests or lab work without explaining their reasons.  Your doctor interrupts you frequently and does not interact with you for very long during office visits.  Your doctor prescribes medication or orders surgeries and procedures without knowing your medical history or with little prior discussion  If your doctor has been involved in any medical malpractice allegations, it might be a good idea to switch. If you have a specific condition, and your doctor is not a specialist in that area, you need to find a new doctor. When switching doctors, you need to decide whether your reasons for leaving are worth explaining.   If you're leaving your doctor because you were unhappy with his or her services, it's okay to express this. Doctors do like to keep patients happy and their reputation intact, so feedback may help their performance in the future. However, many people are not comfortable with face-to-face confrontation. You could consider writing a letter and mailing it to your doctor's office.  If you feel uncomfortable with your current doctor for any reason, it is acceptable to leave without explanation. Doctors are generally busy and may not notice a missing patient, especially if your visits are infrequent. Sometimes, switching doctors is not a result of a bad relationship between doctor and patient. If you and your doctor are on good terms, there's no better source to ask for a referral to a new physician than your former doctor.   Chances are...

Changing the partitions on your USB drive will erase all of the data on it, so make sure everything important is saved to another location. This guide will use Ubuntu, which comes with GParted Partition Editor already installed. If your Linux distribution doesn't have GParted installed, you can install it from gparted.org/ or your distribution's package manager. In Ubuntu, open the Dash and type "gparted," or click "System" → "Administration" → "GParted Partition Editor." You can identify your USB drive by the size. Make sure you don't proceed with your hard drive selected, or you could lose all of your data. Right-click the visual display of the USB drive and select "Unmount" to deactivate it and prepare it for partitioning. This will delete the current partition on the USB drive. This will open the "Create new Partition" window. Use the slider or the text fields to set the size of your first partition. Make sure to leave enough space for additional partitions. The partition labels will be the easiest way to differentiate between your partitions. If you intend to use the drive with just Linux, select "ext2." If you want to boot Windows from the first partition select "ntfs" (this will only work on the first partition on the drive). To use the partition for general storage between different computers, select "fat32" or "exfat." This will create the new partition from the unallocated space. You can continue to create new partitions from the unallocated space that remains after creating the other partitions. Click "Apply" to confirm. All of your changes will be applied to the USB drive. This may take a little while to complete. You'll be able to access all of the partitions as if they were individual USB drives.

Changing the type of covering you have on your windows can improve the feel of your room. Many of the newer types of window treatments are designed to conserve energy and keep the cold or heat out without sacrificing on style. These look similar to pleated blinds but contain cells that conserve heat in your home. They come in a variety of colors and styles, and look softer and better made than vinyl blinds. These are made with a heavy-duty material that keeps the temperature in your room steady. Although the backing (the part facing outside) tends to be a rather dull color, the front of the curtains come in a huge range of color and textures. Look at drapes and window valances made out of soft, natural fibers like cotton, silk or wool. You can use energy efficient shades to block the light out, and then frame them with soft valances and drapes to add a bit more style to your room. Bamboo or linen weaves can give it an earthy look. These options may be a little more expensive than some of the choices above but are long lasting and beautiful – as well as green! You can get colored curtains, as long as they aren't hot pink or any bright color. Getting a light color for curtains will make your room feel more open because you can see through the window with a sheer one. If they are opened or closed they will not make a difference.

Changing your appearance can give you a boost in confidence and help you out of an appearance rut. It can also be fun!  Change your hairstyle. Cut it, part it differently, give it highlights or dye it pink. Give yourself dark smokey eyes or wear bright red lipstick. Go for a free makeover. Make your way to the makeup counter of your local department store and ask for some assistance trying new colors. If you always wear shades of plum, tell the sales associate to break out the peach tones for a completely new look. You'll go home with a fab new take on your face.  Picking out a new item of clothing can change your entire wardrobe: a new shirt, skirt, or even a scarf. Clothes that you feel comfortable in are better than clothes that may be the height of "fashion" but which you don't enjoy wearing. Your uncomfortableness with yourself will show. Check that your clothes fit correctly. It's hard to be comfortable when your jeans dig in too tightly at your waist, or your bra leaves marks on your skin. Giving yourself some time alone to do something relaxing can give you a boost in self-esteem and also help you relax, which in turn helps keep up your positivity.  Feel pretty all the way down to your feet with an at-home pedicure. Go as wild as you want! Wear a toe ring or two. Paint each nail a different color, use glitter or sample a shade that you're not quite ready to wear on your hands. Give your skin some extra special care. When you pamper yourself, it shows. So give yourself at-home facial for skin-smoothing results. Healthiness is not only considered attractive, but it also means that your mind is healthy, too! It can help with depression and with keeping you from getting sick. It's hard to feel pretty when you've got a cold.  Sleep is a huge factor in healthiness. Too little sleep strains the nervous system and can make you more susceptible to depression and illness. If you can't get the recommended 8 to 9 hours each night, make sure to catch a nap during the day.   Exercise releases endorphins and...

Changing your body temperature can alter your perception of time. Raising your temperature can make time seem to go faster, while lowering your temperature can make time go slower. Crank up the temperature in a room so that you get hot and you may find time slipping by more quickly., Certain smells may help you perceive time differently. Smells like baby powder change your perception by making time seem to go more quickly. The smell of coffee can often make time seem like it’s going more slowly. Sprinkle baby powder on your skin or onto a cloth and take a big sniff. Looking at the time will only make you more aware of how slowly time is passing. Cover up every clock in your house so that you can’t constantly check the time. Depriving someone of some of their senses, such as being placed in an isolation chamber that eliminates light and sound, may compress how they sense the passage of time. Time will seem to speed up, despite the conditions being unpleasant. Many cities have isolation tank and float tank centers. Search online for one near you.

Changing your normal routines and settings or taking yourself out of your norm completely can help you get to know yourself better.  Take a solo trip to a foreign country or place. Solo travel is a great way to place yourself in a situation where you are navigating a new, different environment and experiencing being alone for an extended period. You will also have to develop strong independence and self-reliance, as well as an openness to the different attitudes and customs of others.  If you aren't ready for drastic alone time in a foreign country, going for a short walk around your neighbourhood alone or minimizing the distractions you have access to in your home and daily life can give help you embrace change. Even small shifts in your normal routine can allow you to challenge yourself and get to know yourself better. Cultivating a hobby you can enjoy alone or an activity that involves just you is a good way to get used to your own company and appreciate it. Solo activities like fishing, knitting, surfing, writing, reading, or even meditation will deepen your understanding of yourself and create meaningful alone time. It will also help you cultivate self-love, an important factor to being your own best friend. We have been conditioned to enjoy ourselves in the company of others, but not in the company of ourselves. So it's important to learn how to have fun alone, whether it's movie and dinner or live music and a beer.  A solo date night out will help you positively enjoy your own company. Without the distraction of someone else sitting across from you, you may find you pay more attention to the movie or the band, or that you are more aware of your own opinions and perspectives on the environment around you. If you don’t want to go out on your own at night, try doing something during the day, such as window shopping, antiquing, or sightseeing. All that special attention and affection you receive from a best friend? You also have the same power to do the same for yourself. Enjoy a relaxing massage, buy...

Changing your personality is hard work. But the brain is plastic and it is doable. Start by observing the extroverts around you. Notice how there are different kinds and how they thrive in different settings. Some might be on top of their game in small groups while others are on top of their game in large crowds. Some might even get inhibited in certain situations! Also take the time to note what it is that you think makes them extroverted. Remember this: some extroverts are naturally shy. Just because a person is shy doesn't mean they don't get their energy from others. Are you looking to be more confident? Outgoing? What other traits aside from extroversion are these people showcasing that you'd like to emulate? This is a nice way of saying "fake it." But you're not faking it -- you're just performing. Now that you've spent some time observing other extroverts, mimic them. When you're in a social situation, put on your extroverted hat. Robert de Niro, Barbara Walters, David Letterman -- they're all introverts. They get up there and do it. And then they go home. Start small in both task and time. Take 15 minutes out of your day to be around people. Get out of your comfort zone; do something small that makes you a bit uncomfortable. Knock on your neighbor's door and introduce yourself. After the first one, the second one will seem a lot easier. The third one will be cake. As you get comfortable with being extroverted for that chunk of time, make it bigger. Next week, spend an hour going around to everyone in your building. When you are at the bus stop, ask the person you are standing next to for the time and follow it up with some other comment on the situation. Get the cashier at the grocery store to smile. The tiny things will add up. The fact of the matter is that you cannot be extroverted when you are by yourself. Kinda part of the definition. So get around people. Whether it is joining the circle around the watercooler or accepting the invitation to Julie's baby shower, go. You'll never grow and get...
