When you start feeling upset, take a break and count to 10. As you count, imagine that with each number, you're reaching a new level of calmness. Taking the time to count to 10 will give your mind some distance from what you’re feeling, and it will help you respond less emotionally.  If you still feel tense after counting to 10, try counting backwards from 10 to 1. Sometimes you’ll need even more time to calm down. In this case, try counting backwards from 100. You can do this counting exercise anywhere: at home, in the bathroom, in the elevator, or anywhere you are when you feel negative thoughts and frustrations come up. When you're stressed, your body goes into what's known as "fight or flight" mode. Your sympathetic nervous system accelerates your heart rate, tenses your muscles, and prepares your body to face an attack. Counteract this reaction by finding a place where you can be alone for at least 10 minutes to focus on your breath. Breathe deeply and evenly during this time in order to oxygenate your brain, slow your heart rate, and eventually gain control of your emotions.  Breathe while counting to 10. Inhale on the even numbers and exhale on the odd numbers. You can even add an easy visualization by imagining you are breathing in a color that relaxes you, like blue or green. When you exhale, imagine a grey plume of smoke that represents your negative thoughts or emotions leaving your body.  Sit comfortably with your hands on your belly. Breathe deeply into your belly and exhale fully from your belly. Allow your awareness to go to places in your body that feel tense. For example, many people hold tension in their necks, shoulders, knees, lower backs, or arms and hands. Breathe into the places in your body where you feel tension and allow the tension to melt away as you exhale. It might help to play some relaxing music while you do these exercises. If it is a conflict that involves other people, take a few breaths, explain quickly that you are upset (without going into details), and walk away. The...

When you start seeing someone, be patient and let the relationship develop naturally. Don’t get serious too quickly or write someone off prematurely. It takes time to know whether you’re compatible with someone. If a romantic interest displays red-flag behaviors, there’s probably no reason to get to know them further. However, if you’re not sure whether you like someone or not, going on another date or two can help you figure out how you feel. If you have a bad feeling about a developing relationship, it’s a good idea to slow things down or break the relationship off entirely. People’s flaws tend to become more pronounced as you spend more time with them. If you’re noticing red flags or deal-breakers in the person you’re seeing, these issues are likely to get worse, not better. If you’re concerned about certain aspects of a developing relationship, talk to the other person. You may be able to come to a compromise. You may also save yourself some time by figuring out that the relationship isn’t going anywhere. If you seek out a relationship just for the sake of not being single anymore, you might end up unhappy with the partner you picked. Take your time and think about your future happiness, not just the way you feel right now. Consider that you might be happier single than you would with a poorly-matched partner. You can ensure you find the right match by being open and straightforward about your needs in the relationship. Communicating your values, goals, and future priorities early on can help you figure out if your partner is right for you. Also, be willing to listen to and acknowledge your partner's needs.  For example, if finishing your graduate degree is important, you will need to convey this to your partner. Relationships require compromise, so you shouldn't express these as if they are a list of ultimatums. However, your partner should be willing to have a discussion with you so that you can reach goals and priorities that align with both your needs. If you're in a good relationship, it probably...

When you start to feel angry, your body responds with physical signs. Knowing how your body feels when you get angry and stressed will help you figure out when you are about to explode. Some physical signs might include:  Your jaws are clenched and your muscles tense. Your head or stomach hurts. Your heart starts racing. You get sweaty, even on the palms of your hands. Your face flushes. Your body or your hands shake. You get dizzy. Your emotions may start to fluctuate, which can bring on feelings of anger. Some emotional signs that you may experience include:  Irritation Sadness Depression Guilt Resentment Anxiousness Defensiveness Get your anger under control before you start communicating with someone. Otherwise, you may say something you regret. Take deep breaths to clear your head and to initiate your body’s calming response. Try these steps:  Breathe in for a count of four, hold for a count of four, and exhale for a count of four. Make sure you are breathing with your diaphragm rather than with your chest. When you breathe with your diaphragm, your belly extends out (you can feel it with your hand). Do this as many times as necessary until you start feeling calmer. If you feel yourself getting angry and are experiencing physical and emotional symptoms of anger, tell yourself that you don’t have to react right away. Count to ten to calm yourself down and give yourself a chance to think. Reserve a reaction for the moment and give yourself time to sort out your feelings. If you feel your blood start to boil, leave the situation. Take a walk. Not having the stimulus in front of you, the thing or person you are mad at, will help you calm yourself down. If you find yourself getting angry, calm down and talk through the problem rationally to yourself. Use your reasoning before your body gets out of control. Before anger takes over your mind, you can “talk yourself down.” Even if you might not feel like you can control this process, you can keep the positive dialog going on in your head to help you practice...

When you start working with a teacher or other trainees, you'll notice that everyone has a different way of going about from point A to point B. None of these is incorrect. All you have to do is find what comes most naturally to you. Watch videos and observe others, but only to a point. If you're hurting yourself, definitely question your form--but if it's working for you, don't make efforts to change your habits. What comes natural to you may not come naturally to someone else. Working with a professional one-on-one is a privilege that no amount of practice can equal. Working with others allows for personal exploration and critiques of your skills that may come in handy for improvement.  If no academy is in your area, hit up your local gyms. A professional will not only teach you everything you need to know, providing you well-rounded skills, they will also make sure you stay safe. If you do choose to train with others, keep it to a few people. If too many gather, it becomes a roadshow of boasting and showing off skills. The practice should be a collaboration, not one person demanding the others follow suit. This is good advice whether you're working by yourself or anyone else. Always establish a starting point and an ending point. There can be innumerable ways there, but only one beginning and end. The aim is to get there as quickly as possible, not how many impressive jumps you can do or how many walls you can climb up or roll underneath. Pick a path that doesn't stand out in its simplicity or its grandeur.

When you stay up late, you wake up tired, not feeling refreshed and, by the middle of the day, craving a nap. However, napping for a long period of time in the middle of the day can make you less able to fall asleep with ease when you go to bed at night. Moreover, when you are tired at night and ready to go to sleep, you have less time and energy to think about being scared. If you feel that you must nap mid-day because you're too zapped to keep going, try taking a "power nap" just before lunch. These short naps of 15-20 minutes can give you some great benefits, including a burst of energy and alertness and increased motor performance. These shorter naps are what most people really need to stave off sleepiness and get the energy needed to continue on with their day. Focusing on deepening your breath is one way to invoke the relaxation response to stress. Deep breathing, in which you expand the lungs and abdomen, encourages full oxygen exchange, the trading of incoming fresh oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide. Deep breathing slows the heartbeat and stabilizes blood pressure. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take one or two normal breaths to settle yourself. Inhale, or take a deep breath, for 5 counts. Hold for 5 counts. Then exhale, letting all the air out, for 5 counts. Repeat for several cycles until you feel more calm. . Meditation is a helpful tool to feel more relaxed. Some people find it especially useful to meditate at the end of the days to help focus and quiet the mind after a busy day. Meditation is one way to become more aware of your surroundings and to achieve a higher level of awareness and inner calm. It is recommended that you meditate an hour before bed.  You can meditate anywhere you like and for as long as you like. This basically allows you  to access a sense of tranquility and peace no matter what's going on around you. Sit in a comfortable position. Focus on your breath. Focus on being present and relaxed in your body, and notice every breath you take. Work on clearing...

When you stop taking amphetamines, you may experience withdrawal symptoms and strong cravings for the drug. Prepare for these issues in advance by preparing a safe environment for detoxification. Ideally, you want to stay someplace where amphetamines are not available, where you cannot access the drug easily, and where you are unlikely to encounter any friends or relatives who use the drug.  Consider choosing a major change of scenery. If possible, go to a supportive friend’s or relative’s house, rather than staying at your own place. It can be easier to break the cycle of addiction if you are in unfamiliar surroundings. Consider going to a drug treatment facility or rehab program. Know, in advance, who will support you when you have withdrawal symptoms or strong cravings. Professionals – doctors and therapists – fall into this category, as do members of support groups, close relatives, and good friends, as long as none of these people are using drugs. It may be helpful to make a list of all of the people you can contact during your detox. Make sure you have emergency phone numbers available, as well as doctor’s contact information, and your closest hospital address. As your body adjusts to the absence of any amphetamine, you will begin to experience withdrawal symptoms, the most severe being within the first 24 hours. Then, the severity will typically taper off in about 2-3 weeks. Common withdrawal symptoms include: increased sleeping and eating, depressed mood, concentration issues, irritability, feelings of anxiety, fatigue, vivid or unpleasant dreams, and cravings. Expect these withdrawal symptoms, and try to spin them in as positive a light as you can by thinking thoughts such as, “This is my body getting clean; these are the obstacles I have to face to get to the other side. I am strong enough to get through it.” If you are working with a physician or treatment center, ask about medications to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms. These medications may not completely eliminate the withdrawal...

When you strain a muscle, stop doing the activity that caused it to be strained. Pulled muscles are actually rips in muscle fibers, and further exertion could cause the tear to grow larger and lead to a serious injury.  Let the amount of pain you feel be  your guide. If a pulled muscle occurs while you're running or playing a sport, and you have to stop and catch your breath due to the severe pain, the best thing to do is sit the rest of the game out. Take a few days to recover from the pulled muscle before resuming the activity that caused it. Icing the area reduces swelling and helps ease the pain. Fill a large food storage bag with ice cubes. Wrap it in a thin towel, to protect your skin from getting damaged by direct ice. Hold the ice pack to your sore area for 20 minutes at a time 4 to 8 times a day until the swelling has gone down.  A bag of frozen peas or another vegetable also works well as an ice pack. Avoid using heat, which won't reduce inflammation caused by a pulled muscle. Wrapping the site of the pulled muscle can reduce inflammation and provide support to prevent further injury.  Use an ace bandage to loosely wrap your arm or leg.  Don't wrap the area too tightly, or you might inhibit circulation.  If you don't have an ace bandage, cut an old pillowcase into one long strip and use it to compress the area. Raising the inflamed area can help the swelling go down and provide it with the proper rest it needs to heal.  If you pulled a muscle in your leg, rest it on an ottoman or chair while you're sitting. If you pulled a muscle in  your arm, you can elevate it using a sling. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin or ibuprofen reduce pain and help you move around more easily with a pulled muscle.  Be sure to take no more than the recommended dosage, and never give aspirin to children.

When you style your hair, avoid accessories like ponytail holders, rubber bands, or bobby pins that can snarl hair, causing more damage. Instead, try soft headbands or cloth ties. When you need to use heat to get your desired style, limit the amount of time you apply the heat and use heat protectants.  Let your hair partially air-dry when using heat styling. For example, you could allow your hair to dry halfway while you get ready, and then use the hair dryer to finish drying it. Make sure that your hair is completely dry before using a hair straightener. If you use a straightener on wet or damp hair, it can singe your hair as the water evaporates. When you do use heat to style your hair, apply a heat protectant. This product comes in sprays or creams, depending on what you choose. While silicones are usually bad for your hair, heat protectants with silicones are actually better because they are so heat resistant, allowing them to better protect your hair. When you’re spending time outside, use a cute hat or hair wrap to shade your hair. If you can’t wear a hat, try a product that contains a sunscreen. Sleep in a satin hair wrap or on a satin pillowcase to minimize damaging friction. As a bonus, you’ll look cute and avoid bedhead in the morning.

When you subscribe to a VPN service, you usually receive a username, a password, and a VPN server address. VPN subscriptions are not free and are often billed monthly.  ExpressVPN is generally considered one of the best choices for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Linux. Downloading free VPN software is a different process, as doing so gives you a program that will block your IP address in all browsers but must be turned on and off. This app often resembles a white gear on a colored background and can be found in the App Drawer. Alternatively, you can swipe down from the top of your Android's screen and then tap the gear icon in the resulting drop-down menu. You'll usually find it near the top of the Settings page, though you may have to scroll down to see this option.  On some Androids, you may first have to tap More below the "Wireless & networks" section. On a Samsung Galaxy phone, first tap Connections, then More connection settings, then tap VPN. This option is in the top-right corner of the screen. In the labeled fields provided, enter your VPN's name, connection type, server address, username, and/or password. Depending on the type of connection that you select, you may have additional options here. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. This will save your VPN's settings and add the VPN connection to your Android. Tap your VPN to open its page. Enter any username, password, and/or other credentials as requested, then tap CONNECT. This will activate your VPN, hiding your IP address in the process.

When you suspect that your friends are getting tired of you, then it may be because you are tired of them. Ask yourself a few questions to find out if this is the case:  Are you putting little effort into the relationship, such as not contacting them and not making plans? Do you feel bored when you are with them? Do you hope that plans with them get cancelled? If your friends are tired of you, it’s likely that they’re starting to exclude you from things or ignore you. You might notice that they feel more distant from you. Even if they speak to you, it might be more out of convenience and they may not go out of their way to invite you to events.  For example, your friends might hang out with you at school but exclude you on the weekends. Before you decide your friends are excluding you, ask yourself if you are putting in the same effort you expect from them. If you don't invite them to do things, then they may not think to invite you. Sometimes, conflicts can lead to distance. For example, if you have had a fight with one or more of your friends, they may take some distance while things cool off. Taking some time apart is normal if you disagree about something. If time goes on and you haven’t made up or they say that things are fine but they’ve nearly stopped talking to you, this may indicate greater problems.  Understanding the wider context can sometimes help you to see why your friends might be distancing themselves. If you have been apart because of an issue, reach out to them to start repairing your relationship. For example, apologize first after a fight. Excuses are a weak way of not saying openly what the person really thinks. You might still talk to your friends, but when it comes to having fun, they might make excuses for not wanting you to come. If the excuses keep adding up, this might be one way they’re indirectly telling you that they’re tired of you. If the excuses don’t quite make sense, the person might use them to create distance or spend some time apart from you. If you’re always looking for...

When you take detours and let other things disrupt your regular routine, you get more and more comfortable with life's little surprises. What's more, you experience more of the benefits that come along with the unplanned, like meeting cool new friends at a bar that you decide to take a chance on. Even small departures from routine, like a new route to work, will remind you to pause and focus on things that you normally miss. Little changes still help us out of our heads (and thus distracted from the worries that keep us serious) and into the present moment. . When you are stressed, you are much more likely to take things seriously; stress is when your body is poised to react in an intense way. This sets up a cycle of getting stressed from taking things seriously and taking things seriously reinforcing stress responses. Learning mental and physical methods to lessen stress is crucial. Examples include the following:  Making long-term healthy lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise Using to-do lists Reducing negative self-talk Practicing progressive muscle relaxation Learning mindfulness and visualization meditations Loosening yourself up - literally - will make it much easier to approach life with cheery grace. There is a wide variety of movement-oriented arts that can help ease some of the bodily tension that usually accompanies a serious mind. Depending on your interests, you may want to take up dance, yoga, aerobics, or expressive arts like improvisational comedy or basic acting. Taking a class in any of these areas might be more helpful than teaching yourself because letting loose in the presence of others can be more encouraging than trying to learn alone. Listening to music more frequently can be a great way to alter your mood because it helps exaggerate certain feelings. This means that if you are trying to lighten up and focus on the cheerier parts of life, listening to upbeat music can bring these brighter aspects more clearly into focus. Try listening to up-tempo music in major keys. Any genre will...

When you talk to her, speak with respect. You should never rudely criticize her or say things which are demeaning. Just like it wouldn't be acceptable for someone to say these things to you, it's not acceptable for you to say those things to her. Try to think not only about how you'd feel if someone said something to you but also think about how her own experiences might lead her to feel about what you said. For example, only call her a girl if she is one. Is your girl older than, say, 20 years old? At that point you should be calling her a woman or a lady. When you call her girl, you're making her seem like a child, implying that she can't do things for herself, think, or act like the capable adult she is. Get to really know her for who she really is, not just what you think she is or want her to be. Ask questions about her. Dig deep. Take an interest in what she says, what she does, and what she wants. She'll notice that you do these things and it will show her that not only do you care about her but that you also respect who she is as a person.  Ask questions about her religion, her political views, what it was like for her growing up, what she wants for the future. You can also ask the usual questions like her favorite color or food, but these kinds of things need to be balanced out with a deeper understanding of who she is. Listen to what she says. When she talks, you should be listening. Don't tune her out because she "talks too much". Pay attention because you might learn things about her that you didn't know before. Instead of fighting and insulting each other when you have a fight, talk things out. If you really want to treat both her and yourself right, talk about things that bother you when they happen or very soon afterward. Bottling things up and "keeping score" will just make both of you miserable. You also shouldn't talk behind her back.

When you talk to your boss, the most important thing is to keep it short and sweet. Simply say that you’re leaving the job, state when your last day will be, and thank him or her for the opportunity. Your boss will ask more questions and you can reveal a bit more, but you shouldn’t feel compelled to talk at length about the decision; the most important thing is that you state your decision clearly and in no uncertain terms.  This won’t be fun or easy, but you’ll feel a sense of relief once you get the news out of the way. Don’t waste your time with small talk and come out with it. Make sure you choose your words carefully. State that you’re sorry to share this news and that it’s unfortunate that you’re leaving instead of saying you’re out of there. Though you may be tempted to tell your boss that you feel like your full potential was never realized, that you were always condescended to, that no one took your ideas seriously, or that the company culture stifled any attempt at fun or socializing, this really won’t get you anywhere as you get ready to leave. Save your personal complaints for your friends and try to focus on the fact that you’re advancing your career, not settling a personal score. There’s no need to go into great detail about why you’re leaving your job. If you’re quitting without another job lined up, you don’t need to explain exactly why you hate working for your boss; if you do have another job lined up, you can mention that it may help you advance your career goals without saying how much better the pay will be and that you were tired of being treated like you had no value. Your boss may ask if you’re taking another job or may want to know the details of the new position. You’re not obligated to say anything, though you can mention that you’re excited for the opportunity. You may be so focused on just coming out with the news that you may not really be thinking about what happens next, but it’s important to ask about the logistics before you leave your boss’s office.

When you tell your best friend you love her, you want to do as much as you can to make her calm and comfortable. Pick a time and a place where neither of you will have other big emotional stresses to worry about. It's difficult for anyone to make smart decisions about romantic issues when they're already under pressure from something else. A few examples of things that can make for a less-than-great environment to talk about your feelings with her include:  She has something important coming up that she needs to focus on (like a big exam or a role in a play). She has just gotten out of a major relationship (or is still in one — this is a definite no-go). She is going through a difficult period in her life (trouble at work or school, family issues, etc.). An example of a good time and place to bring your feelings up is when you're enjoying a comfortable, casual one-on-one hangout on the weekend. Dropping delicate hints about your intentions is a good way to judge your chances of success without putting your friendship at too much of a risk. If she responds to your gentle flirting lukewarmly or seems to feel uncomfortable, you'll know to back off. See our article on flirting for great step-by-step instructions. A few basic tips you may want to keep in mind can be found below:  Use affectionate body language. Maintain good eye contact and smile. Touch her arm or shoulder when she makes you laugh. Gently tease her for minor slip-ups. For best results, have a good sense of humor about it and make it obvious that you're kidding. Try to one or two weave compliments into the conversation. If you can do it while also gently teasing her, all the better. Keep things lighthearted and don't come on too strong. You may risk tipping your hand too early or even creeping her out. Dating is something you do after you establish a romantic connection with someone — not before. Treating your best friend to a nice candlelit dinner may seem like a nice thing to do, but it can be confusing for her if she doesn't catch on to what...

When you think about your past, you may not remember shyness being something that has benefited you. It's likely you remember it keeping you from that guy or girl you liked or the dream job you could have had if you just approached the CEO. While it's your natural tendency to think about the negative results of your shyness, you can change your thinking to come up with positives that came out of being shy. You probably can list many of the negatives of being shy, but switch gears. Think of all the ways you’ve been able to benefit from being shy.  Sometimes shyness allows you to listen to others more closely. Shyness gives you time to take in information about your surrounding such as body language. Realize that even though you are shy, that you have a deep and rich inner life and inner dialogue. Maybe you've been able to catch what people are really saying when they speak because you are listening more than talking. You may have a tendency to analyze situations, so you know what you are getting into before you make a move. People might like that you don't take over conversations, but instead allow them to vent about their life without disruptions. There's a chance you enjoy being by yourself because it's comfortable to you. A journal will help you jot down situations in which shyness has helped you. This will help you as you're journaling and later on when you read back through your entries. You can always go back to see how you've benefited, especially when you're feeling as though your shyness is interfering in your life.  You might want to write down how your shyness has helped you in your career. Shyness can help with your love life as well. Watch for ways it does and jot them down. Don't forget how your shyness helps you concentrate on yourself, so you can figure out what you really want in life. Write down challenges you have faced because of your shyness and how you overcame them. This can help you next time you face similar struggles.

When you think of NASA, your first thought is probably of astronauts; if going to space doesn't sound so appealing to you, you may nonetheless find a rewarding career with NASA. Just a few of the professionals that NASA employs are as follows:  Medical doctors, nurses, and mental health care professionals. Researchers, engineers, geologists, microbiologists, and physicists. Writers, human resource specialists, and communications professionals. Computer programmers and IT specialists. If you'd like to start down the path towards working for NASA, it will help to think about what you're good at as early as possible. This will help you begin to formulate an idea of the position at NASA that would be the best fit for you. Think about the following: What subjects do you excel in at school? For example, if everyone wants to be your lab partner in physics class, then you may want to think about a future career in applied physics with NASA. Even if you're really good at something—like math or chemistry, for example—a career at NASA will be intense, as will the course of study you'll have to go through in order to qualify. You want to try to select a path where you will not only excel, but which you'll be passionate about. Once you have a plan in mind for your ideal career at NASA, it will be a good idea to carefully outline the courses you'll take, both in high school and/or college. Meet regularly with your academic advisor to make sure you're taking the right courses, and the right number of them.  Particularly if you want to be an astronaut, an engineer, or a scientist with NASA, you should choose a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) centered education path.  You should also determine as early as possible if your eventual dream job with NASA will require graduate study. This may affect where you go to school or what courses you choose to take as an undergraduate. It's a bit of joke at NASA to respond to inquiries about how to work there by responding, “Study hard,” but it really is true that this is...

When you think of yourself as shy and reserved, you'll use it as a crutch. Why aren't you going to that party on Friday? ...Exactly. You've no reason. When you stop thinking of yourself as one way or the other, the world opens up to you. You are constantly morphing. If you think of yourself as a band geek, you may find yourself embracing those characteristics. But if you realize that you're always growing and changing, you may open up to opportunities that inspire that growth, opportunities you would otherwise shy away from. Along the same lines as labels, stop thinking in black and white. Boys are not scary, authority is not evil, and textbooks do have their uses. Once you realize that it's your perception of a thing that determines what it is to you, you'll see more possibilities and, therefore, more options for behavior. Some people view certain traits as "fixed," and that significantly impacts how they behave. The opposite of this would be a "growth" mindset, where the viewer thinks traits are malleable and morph constantly. These mindsets develop early in childhood and can greatly factor into personality. If you think things are "fixed," you don't believe you can change them. How do you see the world? It can determine how you see yourself in relationships, how you solve conflicts, and how and how quickly you bounce back from setbacks. Just stop. The beauty of your brain is that it is part of you, and you, therefore, control it. If you find yourself thinking, "Oh my God, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't," you probably won't be able to. When the voice starts going, put a sock in it. It's not doing you any good.  When the voice acts up, make it sound like Donald Duck. It's a lot harder to take seriously.     Keep your head up. Literally. Changing your body language can change how you feel and therefore think.

When you train your pit bull, focus on teaching him rather than the result. It will take him some time to catch on to your training. Give your dog a simple command when he's ready, and if he follows your orders, then reward him with praise or his favorite treat. Rewarding him with positive reinforcement instead of punishing him when something goes wrong is the way to earn his trust on to tame his aggression.  When you use positive reinforcement, be consistent. Just as you would discipline a child, if your dog does something right, you should reward him every time (even if it's just by petting him and giving him kind words), or he will get confused by your mixed signals. Always be firm. Don't give in, even if your dog looks particularly cute. This will only cause him to be more confused -- and more likely to act up in the future. Your dog should realize that you are the leader and that the dog must obey you. Pit bulls need a leader or they will try to become the dominant, alpha dog. Here are some ways to establish dominance over your dog while keeping his loyalty and respect. To show the dog that you are the leader of the pack your should be able to both give him permission to do the things he wants to do, and deny him permission to do the things he shouldn't.  Give your dog praise so he knows that you own him. Give him this praise quickly but don't drag out the praise. If your pit bull does something wrong, quickly correct him without dragging it out. Dogs have a memory attention span of 5 seconds; they live in the now moment. Give and deny your pit bull permission to do things like eat, jump on the bed, or go outside. You do this to demonstrate your dominance. When entering the house, your dog should follow you, allowing you to go first. Your pit bull should obey you on your first command if you have established dominance. Train your pit bull to obey you even when the leash is loose rather than pulled tight. This allows your dog to have the freedom to explore and go to the bathroom, but the dog is still...

When you travel outside of your country, you should be prepared to pay cash for a lot more services and products that you normally would at home. Not all countries have the widespread use of cards that is seen in English speaking countries. This means that you should be aware that you might have to pay for things with cash that you’re accustomed to using your card to buy normally. Plan ahead. This is especially common in poorer countries. They often have less infrastructure for the widespread use of cards. Your best bet for exchanging currency when you’re traveling is to use an ATM. Find an ATM with a major bank in the area and then, so long as you have one of the major VISA or Master/Maestro cards, you’ll be able to do basic transactions like withdrawing money. This will usually give you the best rate and if you have a travel-friendly bank, you’ll hardly pay any fees at all.  Finding an ATM can be tricky. Your best bet will be to let Google be your guide. Get to a place, early on, where you will have internet access and then ask Google Maps for the locations of all nearby ATMs. You can also usually locate an ATM by locating a bank. If you don’t know where to find those, ask a local hotel concierge or taxi driver. Many ATMs now only accept chip/EMV card.  If you do not have a chip card, then you will not be able to use many of the ATMs worldwide. When you can, simply pay for items and services with your card. As long as it’s one of the major cards (VISA or Master/Maestro card), any business that takes credit and debit cards should be able to take your card without problems. This is handy because your bank will simply exchange the money on their end and you don’t have to worry about exchanging currency yourself much at all.  Be aware, however, that you may encounter problems with the card itself. Certain countries have switched to the more secure chip-and-pin system. Certain card readers will then be unable to read the traditional swipe card. Again, some banks charge extortionate fees for this. Know what your...

When you travel, you can take melatonin to help with jet lag, which is daytime fatigue that occurs when changing time zones. The first night you arrive at your destination, you can take 0.5 to 5 mg of melatonin. Taking it can help you sleep and reset your sleeping patterns to match the new time zone you traveled to. Continue taking for two to five nights. Lower doses, such as 0.5 to 3 mg, are recommended to avoid the sedating side effects that can sometimes be caused at higher doses. Studies have suggested that melatonin may help symptoms in numerous other disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, depression, fibromyalgia, migraines and other headaches, tardive dyskinesia (TD), epilepsy, menopause, and cancer. If you are using melatonin for reasons other than insomnia or jet lag, talk to your doctor first. Your doctor will be able to guide you in regards to its effectiveness for your condition, the best dose, and the correct time to take it. Take the amount prescribed by your doctor. Different doses have been shown to be effective for different disorders. You should also take it for as long as your doctor recommends it.

When you two are spending time with your mutual friends, see if they treat you differently than how they treat other people they are friends with. They may be more affectionate with you, try to talk more to you, or make comments about your relationship.  When your best friend treats you the same as any of their other friends, it's unlikely that they're interested in you romantically. A friend that treats you like they treated their exes may be interested. This can help you determine whether they are just being their normal friendly selves or if they are interested romantically in you. Naturally, you're going to spend time with your best friend. However, ask yourself whether the things that you do together seem like dates. For example, do you go out to dinner and a movie? If so, is it usually just the two of you?  When someone starts to become interested in someone romantically, they'll want to spend more and more time with them. If you notice that the two of you are spending way more time together than you normally do, and that those hangouts start to feel like potential dates, they may be interested in you. You should also notice if they start to tell you how much they enjoy spending time with you one on one. This might be a way for them to try and tell you that they're looking for something more than just friendship. Listen to how they speak about you to other people and how they speak when they are talking to you. When people are attracted to someone, they may speak in a special tone of voice reserved for that special someone. They may also be a little nervous around you and blush.  Pay attention to how much they laugh at your jokes or things that you do. If they laugh more frequently than usual, it might be because they like you. Friends aren't awkward with one another, so if you start noticing that they seem shy and bashful about certain topics, it could be a sign that they're interested in you. For example, they may become shy when you bring up school dances or dates that you've been on. They may be...

When you two broke up, it likely happened for a reason. Not contacting your ex is an important step in healing from a breakup. You may feel desperate to contact your ex, especially in the beginning, but remind yourself of the reasons you broke up. Stay strong and stay away from that phone!  Romantic love stimulates dopamine pathways in the brain, making you feel “rewarded” for your emotions. When you break up, your brain treats it the same way as it treats a drug addiction. No matter how hard it feels, don’t give in to the craving, or you’ll never kick it.  Don’t call or text your ex. If you need to, delete his or her number from your phone and contacts. Don’t email or send messages on social media. Cyberstalking is a real thing. Don’t look up your ex on Facebook or Instagram. You’ll only concentrate on the pictures of him or her being happy and having a good time. You’ll keep looking for clues and memories, keeping you from feeling better. If you have to, block your ex on your pages so you’re not tempted. Don’t “vaguebook” (post vague statuses on social media) in a bid for attention. Focusing on the past will only keep you from moving toward your future. Holding on to treasured gifts from your ex or photos of the two of you will hold you back from healing and moving on. You may even find that having them around triggers feelings of sadness, loneliness, or anger.  Delete photos of your ex from social media accounts (or at least crop him or her out of the photos). Resist the urge to do things that you used to do together, like listen to “your song” or visit your favorite date spot. These things will keep you focused on the relationship you don’t have anymore, instead of allowing you to go out and form new relationships (and strengthen existing ones). Memories aren’t always triggered by things. Even sounds and scents can trigger a memory or emotion. If this happens, don’t try to ignore or deny it. Acknowledge the feeling: “Oh, that smell reminds me of our pizza date nights. I miss those.” And then move on.  If...

When you understand what your long-term goals are, you can determine how best to prioritize your time in high school to accomplish those goals. Write down a list of things you may be interested in doing, then read and research what careers in those fields involve. Narrow your list down until you have identified the career you’d like to pursue, as well as other things you’d like to do, like traveling or learning a language.  For example, you may want to become a computer programmer when you grow up. To that end, you may want to pursue computer programming electives. Knowing the opportunities you want to pursue will help you prioritize what you spend your time on. Don’t worry if you don't think you have the "right" answer. You can change or adjust your goals at any time. Research the steps it takes to achieve your long-term goals by talking to professionals who have achieved those goals and searching the Internet for information. Then determine what you can do in high school to start taking those steps.  Make your short-term goals with both high school and college in mind. Make sure that your grades and extracurriculars match the undergraduate, vocational, or other post high school programs you intend to apply for. If you want to be an engineer, and discover that you can take engineering electives starting in your junior year if you have a certain GPA, then an immediate short-term goal might be to earn that GPA. Then tack the sheet of paper up somewhere where you can see it every day. This will help you understand how you need to organize your time and motivate you to do so. Refer to your long-term goals periodically to help keep yourself focused on priority activities.  Your short term goals should be action-oriented, and precise. A good example of a short-term goal is to “earn a 90 or higher in sophomore Chemistry,” while a bad example is to “ace all my classes.” By thinking through and writing down what it takes to achieve your goals, you’ll have a good sense of how to manage your time appropriately.

When you unzip the Starter Pack, you will find two folders: "Server" and "Client". Open the "Server" folder to get your RuneScape server up and running.  Open the "run.bat" (Windows) or "run.sh" (Mac and Linux) program. Wait for the Starter Pack Panel to appear. This may take a few moments. If you receive errors, you most likely have not installed the JDK. Enter a port. Typical ports for RuneScape private servers are 43594, 43595, and 5555. Click Save & Compile. Click Run Server. Your RuneScape private server is now up and running. In order for others to connect to your server, you will need to open the port that you specified in the previous step. In order to do this, you will need access to your router's configuration page. For details on forwarding ports, check out this article.  In order to forward the port, you will need to know the internal IP address of the computer running the server. Once you have forwarded the correct port, you can connect to it from anywhere using the proper client software. If you are only planning on using the server on your private network, you do not need to forward any ports. This is only for those that want anyone to be able to connect. In order to connect to your private server, you will need to configure the custom RuneScape client. The client is the program that connects to the server and allows you to play. Each private server requires its own special client. Open the "Client" folder in the Starter Pack.  Open the "run.bat" (Windows) or "run.sh" (Mac and Linux) program in the Client folder. Enter in a name for your server in the Set Title field. In the Set Host field, enter in the IP address of your server (most likely the computer you are using right now). If you are connecting over the internet, it will need to be the public IP address. If you are connecting over a home network, then it will need to be the private IP address. In the Set Port field, enter in the port you specified when setting up the server. Click Save & Compile. As you get more familiar with running a...

When you use all of a product, there will not be any hazardous waste left over. For this reason, don't buy a gallon of kerosene when you know you won't be using the whole bottle. Large containers may seem more cost-efficient, but you'll have leftover kerosene to deal with. Then, you'll have to properly dispose of the leftover kerosene so as not to harm people or the environment. Kerosene is used to supply light for kerosene lamps, and is sometimes used for cooking gas in portable stoves. Reading the instructions when using a stove or lamp that burns kerosene will help you purchase the right amount of kerosene, so as not to waste any. Reading the instructions will also give you details tips on how and where to store your kerosene. If you accidentally buy too much kerosene, ask your friends, neighbors, or local charity if they need any. It's best to put the kerosene to use before it goes bad and has to be disposed of.

When you visit your doctor, he will check to see whether your skin is abnormally pale. This could result from anemia that is associated to leukemia. Your doctor will also check to see whether your lymph nodes are swollen. Your physician also will test to see whether your liver and spleen are larger than normal.  Swollen lymph nodes are also a trademark sign of lymphoma. An enlarged spleen is also a symptom of many other sicknesses like mononucleosis. Your doctor will draw blood. Then, she will examine the blood herself or send it to a laboratory to assess your white blood cells or platelet counts. If your numbers are significantly high, she could order additional tests (MRIs, lumbar punctures, CT scans) to check for leukemia. For this test, a doctor inserts a long, slender needle into your hip bone to extract marrow. Your doctor will send the sample to a lab to assess whether leukemia cells are present. Depending on the results, he might order additional testing. Once your doctor has examined all possible aspects of your condition, he can give you a diagnosis. This might take a bit of time, as laboratory processing times vary. Still, you should hear within a few weeks. You might not have leukemia. If you do, your doctor will be able to tell you what type you have and discuss potential treatment options.  Your doctor will share whether leukemia is growing fast (acute) or slowly (chronic).  Next, he will determine what kind of white blood cell has the disease. Lymphocytic leukemia impacts lymphoid cells. Myelogenous leukemia affects myeloid cells. While adults can get all types of leukemia; most small children suffer from Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Both children and adults can suffer from Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), but this is the most common fast growing leukemia for adults. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) impact adults and may take years to show symptoms.

When you visit your doctor, they’ll check your urine for signs of infection and prescribe an antibiotic. They will also do a culture to determine the exact type of bacteria causing the infection. This will allow them to change or adjust your prescription based on the results if necessary (e.g., if your infection is caused by a strain of bacteria that is resistant to common antibiotics).  Urinary cultures take about 48 hours to complete. If your UTIs are a recurring problem, let your doctor know; you can get a preventative antibiotic for the future, too. A common antibiotic prescribed when suffering from this condition is levofloxacin. The maximum dosage is 750 milligrams per day, for a duration of 5 days.  Finish all the antibiotics given even if you feel better to ensure that the infection is gone. The infection may return and may be even harder to treat if you do not finish the entire course of the medicine. . Increasing your fluid intake by consuming a lot of fluids will help you stay hydrated. The high fluid intake will increase the urine secretion that will help you flush out the pathogen. Drink water, lemonade, and decaffeinated tea. Have them as many times per day as you like, anytime you wish. You should avoid alcohol, caffeine and sugary drinks, because they will have the opposite effect, dehydrating your body. Cranberry juice can help prevent the infection from recurring. A daily intake of 50 millilitres (0.21  c) to 150 millilitres (0.63  c) of 100% cranberry juice will have great effects in combating the disease. It can prevent any further development of bacterial culture by inhibiting bacterial adhesion to the urinary tract. You must drink the kind of cranberry juice that has a low sugar concentration. If the juice is not sweet enough, use an alternative sweetener, like sucralose or aspartame. You must not drink any sugar free juice, because it will be too acidic. Heat will increase blood flow, decreasing pain and irritation caused by the infection. Apply a heat pad on your pelvic area each day....

When you visualize or see an airplane in the sky, the airplane is your central focus at that moment. But your brain isn’t done there. It also immediately begins to make references, or associations, to the airplane. These might include the color of the sky, different types of planes, how they fly, pilots, passengers, airports and so forth. Because we think in images, not words, these associations often appear in a visual form in our minds. Your mind instantly starts making a map, creating links between these associations, or concepts – a mental website of sorts. With a mind map, you take the concept of the airplane and write AIRPLANES in the center (the spider’s body or the trunk of the tree) of a  blank piece of paper. Then, radiating out from the airplane, are different colored lines (tree limbs or spider legs). On these you write the associations you had to airplanes, such as PILOTS and AIRPORTS. From each of these are more associations, which you note on individual lines.  In association with pilots you might think of their pay or training. And so the map grows.  A mind map mirrors how our brains actually process and recall information – dynamically and visually, not in a purely linear fashion as it was once thought. For instance, mind mapping has proven very effective for note taking. Instead of writing down each word the teacher says as it’s said (linear thinking), you write the name of the lecture topic in the center of your paper. As subtopics, examples, dates and other information are discussed, you draw and label corresponding branches. It’s also used instead of standard outlines in academia to prepare essays, to write research papers, to study for exams, etc. Buzan called this radiant thinking. When our brains lock onto something – an idea, sound, image, emotion, etc. – that “something” stands at the center of our thinking. Radiating out from it are countless other things, ideas, other images, emotions, etc. that our brains associate with it. A mind map helps you make connections between and among...

When you walk into a bedroom, the bed is the piece of furniture that instantly draws the eye. Situating it in a central place and decorating around it is the best way to handle having a big bed in a small bedroom. Place the headboard against one wall. Treat it like the mantle in your living room, which you use as a place to display treasured items and pretty decorations.  Since you have a small room, know that whatever wall art you choose is going to dominate the room. Limit your art to just two or three pieces so that you have plenty of bare wall, which gives the impression of more space. Save money by making your own wall art. Try  creating a silhouette of your pet or  painting a landscape. Black and white prints are affordable and a good choice for small rooms, since they don't demand attention the same way colorful paintings might. It sounds crazy, right? However, having a big, clunky dresser takes up a lot of space in a bedroom, and you may be able to get away without having one, or at the very least, downsizing. Take a look at what you've got and figure out how you can store it differently. Chances are, you can store most of it in the closet or in another storage container. Try some of these space-saving tricks when it comes to clothing storage:  Hang up most of your clothes. Clothes take up less space when they're on hangers than when they're folded up in a drawer. Hang up t-shirts, jeans, and other items you'd normally store in the dresser. Store your undergarments in a small cabinet or storage container in the closet or under the bed. Use hooks. Scarves, coats, hats, and other items can be stored on hooks instead of taking up space in a dresser. Store out-of-season clothing when you aren't using it. Place it in air-tight storage containers that will fit under your bed or on a shelf in your closet. Regularly donate clothes you no longer wear. You probably have more clothes and shoes than you could ever use - if this is the case, take them to a donation center and free up some space in your bedroom....

When you walk into a room full of strangers, it can be hard to figure out how to break in. Watching people you don't know talk and laugh with each other may seem intimidating. But each person there is an individual, just like you, and they're all just trying to get to know people and have a good time. A lot of people dread having to make small talk with strangers, but there's another way to look at mingling. If you can come to the situation with a real desire to get to know people, meeting and chatting with them will suddenly seem a lot more interesting and enjoyable. Think of each party or gathering as an opportunity to meet people with all sorts of intriguing histories, interests and passions. Remember, everyone has something to teach you. Engaging with and connecting to other people is fun. That's why people have parties in the first place. Before entering the event, prepare and remind yourself to do some of the following things:  Dress appropriately so you do not worry about being over or underdressed. The right clothes can boost your confidence and be a conversation starter. Brush your teeth and freshen up so you do not have to worry about your breath or cowlick. Try to be rested. Take a nap if the event is later in the day. It's a lot harder to mingle when you're tired. Eat a meal before you go. You'll feel more energized and you'll be less likely to eat or drink too much at the party. Don’t drink too much. Sometimes people think they need alcohol to loosen up. While a little can help, too much can be detrimental. Remember to take it easy and drink water between drinks. Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Remind yourself that you were invited for a reason: to mingle and have fun. If you're lucky, there will be a few people at the social gathering you'd like to get to know better. Don't be afraid to exchange numbers so you can hang out at a later time. Next time you both find yourself at the same party, you'll have someone to talk to.

Рассматривайте каждого человека как потенциального собеседника. Показывайте свою внутреннюю заинтересованность. Боритесь с чувством неловкости. Обменяйтесь контактными данными с вашими новыми знакомыми.


When you walk into a room where a blind person is waiting, saying something right away will alert them to your presence. Being quiet until you’re right next to the person might make them feel as though you just snuck up out of nowhere, which isn’t comfortable for anyone.  Say your name so they know who you are. If the person offers a hand to shake, go ahead. It might not be intuitive, but you should always say something when you're about to leave. Don't just assume the person will be able to hear you walking out. It's impolite to walk away without saying anything, since you’ll leave the person talking to air. This is frustrating and embarrassing. If it seems as though the person could use some assistance, the best thing to do is ask instead of just assuming they require your help. Just politely say, "would you like me to help?" If the answer is yes, ask what they'd like you to do. But if the answer is no, it's impolite to insist. Many blind people are perfectly capable of getting around without help.  If they say they’d like assistance, do only what is asked, and no more. It’s common for well-meaning sighted people to “take over” and end up hurting more than they’ve helped. In some situations, there's really no need to even ask. For example, if everyone's sitting around a table and the blind person is already seated, you don't need to walk up and ask if there's anything you can do. Be sensitive to the situation and don't make assumptions. Many people who don't have experience around the blind aren't sure how to address the blind person, so they instead address his or her companion. In a restaurant, for example, it's common for servers to ask the person seated next to a blind person if they would like more water, a menu, and so on. Blind people can hear just fine, and there's absolutely no reason not to address them as you would anyone else. ” Your inclination might be to disrupt your normal speech habits and try to find ways around saying words like "look" and "see." It’s okay to use these common words when...

Громко здоровайтесь. Сообщайте о своем уходе из комнаты. Предложите свою помощь. Задавайте вопросы прямо. Используйте слова «смотреть» и «видеть». Не следует гладить собаку-поводыря. Не стройте догадки о жизни слепых.


When you walk into a room, own it!  Hold your head up, take big steps, and let your arms swing at your side.  When you stand or sit, take up space!  Sit with your elbows on the chair and your feet slightly apart. Stand tall and look people in the eye when speaking. Remember, having confidence is important for you, not just your friend. When you’re at a social event, make your presence known.  Move around the room chatting with people and introducing yourself to those you don’t know. By the end of the night, you’ll know have so many new friends and connections.  This will allow you to have more fun, anyways.  For instance, you might go up to a stranger and say, “Hey, fun party, huh?  My name’s Jess.  What’s yours?”  From there, you can talk about the food, music, and how you know the host.  Be sure to ask them questions about themselves like where they’re from. Also, if there’s a DJ and no one’s dancing, take a few friends and get the party started!  You might also choose to sing karaoke if there’s a machine available.  Do things that will get everyone hype. When entering an event your friend is at, go directly to the center of the room.  This will ensure that all eyes are on you. Make sure you’re looking your best so you’ll feel great and get lots of attention. Stay in the middle for five to ten minutes and chat with your friends.  After that, begin mingling with other guests. Wherever you go, have your posse with you.  If your friend is a part of this group, let them in on the fun, too, but try to keep the focus on you by laughing, telling jokes, and helping everyone have a good time.  Either way, spending time with your friends is important regardless of making your friend jealous.

When you want to improve your skin, try to avoid stress. The hormones produced when you're stressed can cause your skin to become more sensitive to outside irritants. It also increase the production of sebum, an oil made by your skin. This oil can cause acne as well as other skin issues. Stress can also slow down healing, trigger irritations such as hives and fever blisters, and interrupt your daily routine. Avoid stress by:  Getting regular exercise, because it can boost your mood and keep you physically active and fit. Take a moderate intensity walk for 10 minutes a day or a leisurely walk for 20 to 30 minutes at least five times a week to lift your mood. Get a minimum of seven to eight hours of sleep each night, since a lack of sleep can make you age faster and leave tired looking skin. Practice stress management techniques such as yoga, deep-breathing exercises, or meditation. Green tea is filled with polyphenols, which are antioxidants that repair skin cells and stimulate the production of collagen in your skin. This helps give your skin a healthier glow and protect your skin from harmful free radicals and ultraviolet radiation. These properties also help reduce wrinkles and also has the benefit of decreasing stress.  Brew green tea with warm water, which is 175 to 185°F or 80 to 85°C. Add two to three grams of loose leaf tea to the warm water for three to five minutes, then strain. You can drink this mixture two to three times each day. You may be able to find topical treatments that contain green tea, which can benefit your complexion by improving blemishes and other issues You can also use premade green tea bags instead of loose leaf. Eating well can improve your skin from the inside out. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit and whole grains to improve your complexion.

When you want to say that something is not done in Spanish, all you have to do is put the word no directly in front of it. Generally speaking, there won't be any other words between the word no and the verb.  For example, suppose someone asked you if you liked a particular TV show, but you don't ever watch television. You might respond "No veo la televisión" (noh VAY-oh lah tay-lay-vee-zee-OHN) or "I don't watch television." Unlike English, there is not a separate word that means "not," nor is the word no combined with a verb to form a contraction (as with "don't"). Using the basic rule to create a negative phrase, place the word no in front of the conjugated verb hablo. The phrase means "I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish." You also might say "Perdón, pero no hablo español" (pehr-DOHN, PEHRR-oh noh AH-bloh ess-PAHN-yohl), which means "Sorry, but I don't speak Spanish." In Spanish it is customary to say "no" once to answer the yes/no question, and then again in the sentence itself. The second "no" goes with the verb. For example, if someone asked you "¿Habla usted español?" and you don't speak Spanish, you would reply "No. No hablo español" (Noh. Noh AH-bloh ess-PAHN-yohl). Unlike in English, Spanish uses a double negative. It's grammatically correct to use the word no even with another negative word such as "nadie" (nobody) or "nada" (nothing).  For example, you might say "no quiero ni pizza ni pasta," or "I want neither pizza nor pasta." You also might say "no quiero nada" to mean "I don't know anything" or "I know nothing." Sometimes you'll even use a triple negative. For example, you might say "No compro nada nunca," or "I never buy anything." In Spanish, you can replace the word no with another word, such as nadie (nobody) or nada (nothing). Despite the common use of the double negative, adding the word no in this context is incorrect. When you do this, the other negative word must come directly before the verb. For example, you might say "nadie habla español" (NAH-dee AH-blah ess-PAHN-yohl) or "nobody...

When you wash your face each day, use a gentle and non-foaming cleanser. Use lukewarm or cool water and lightly work the cleanser over your skin. This can minimize the risk of further irritation and clear away bacteria or germs that could cause infection.  Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser to wash your face. Avoid using anti-aging creams. Avoid products with exfoliants, fragrances, or retinols because they can irritate or exfoliate your skin even more.  Allow the skin to heal completely before beginning your new, toned-down exfoliating regimen. Rubbing your skin dry can easily irritate already fragile skin. After you’ve cleansed your skin, gently pat it dry with a clean towel. This can prevent further irritation. Apply a thick moisturizer to your skin after cleansing. This can calm your skin and promote healing. Avoid creams with fragrance or exfoliating ingredients such as retinoids. These can further irritate and exfoliate your skin. Put a 1% hydrocortisone cream on top of moisturizer twice a day. Focus the cream on irritated areas for up to two weeks. Hydrocortisone cream can ease irritation and inflammation. It can also get out any red on your skin and provide a barrier from bacteria or germs. Use a mild vitamin C cream instead of hydrocortisone if you prefer something more natural. At a concentration of about 5%, vitamin C cream may soothe your skin and help it heal faster. Avoid exposing any area with vitamin C cream to the sun. Vitamin C creams and lotions can make you especially sensitive to the sun. Covering yourself up can protect you from sunburn and further irritation and inflammation. Gently apply a thin layer of vitamin E oil on your over-exfoliated skin. This can keep your skin moisturized, soothe any discomfort, and promote healing. If you’ve over-exfoliated, you took off not only dead skin cells, but new ones as well. This can expose delicate, new skin that is prone to sunburns. Protect your skin and promote healing by staying out of the sun if possible. Wear sunscreen or sunblock even if...

When you wash your hair, you rinse away the natural oils your scalp produces. These oils add texture and hold to your hair, much  like a pomade or gel would do. Day-old hair is less likely to drop curls, since the natural oils in your hair will help the curls retain their shape. If it's too late, and you already washed your hair, you can still use this method. Just rough dry your hair with a blow dryer or let it completely air dry before you curl it. There are several products you can use to add some texture to fine, straight hair so it keeps its curly shape longer than just an hour or two. Try smoothing one of the following products into your hair from the roots to the tips:  Dry shampoo. This is great to use if your hair looks a little oily at the roots. Sprinkle it around your roots, wait a minute, then comb it from the roots to the tips. Curl-enhancing cream. Use a dime or quarter-sized amount (depending on the length of your hair) and comb in it from the roots to the tips to distribute the product evenly. Gel or pomade. If you don't have curl-enhancing cream, hair gel or pomade will work. Don't use so much your hair gets weighed down; you want just enough to lightly coat your hair. Again, it's all about adding texture. Spray a light coating of light to medium hold hairspray a few inches from your hair, then comb it through from roots to tips to distribute it evenly. Avoid using firm-hold hairspray, since it's designed to keep your hair locked in place. It could result in a stiff, crispy look. Now that your hair is prepped, use a curling iron, hot rollers or another curling device of your choice to add the curl you crave. Even if your hair is fine and straight, it should be able to hold any curly style if you prep it right. Here are a few fun styles to try:   Beachy waves  Spiral curls  Big, soft, sexy curls As you complete each curl, coil it against your head and use a bobby pin to pin it up. Repeat until all of your curls are pinned against your head. Let your hair fully cool down before removing the...

When you work with the comedo extractor, there will be a small opening in your skin where the blackhead or whitehead comes out. If you’re not working with sterile tools, you may introduce bacteria into your skin, making the outbreak you’re trying to treat even worse! To sterilize the comedo extractor, simply soak it in rubbing alcohol for one minute.   Keep the rubbing alcohol on hand while using the extractor to continue cleaning it as you go. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly or wear vinyl gloves while working on your skin. Your hands carry many germs that you don’t want to transfer to your skin. The extractor will have a loop on one end of it. Position the loop around the whitehead or blackhead you are trying to extract.   If you’re having trouble seeing what you’re doing, try using a magnifying mirror. These can be purchased inexpensively at pharmacies, department stores, or online. At the very least, make sure you’re working in a well-lit environment. Once the comedo is within the extractor’s loop, you want to apply enough pressure to force the whitehead or blackhead up out of the skin. Press against the base of the comedo from all sides, working all of the material completely out of your skin. Comedones can reach deep down into the skin, so don’t assume you’ve extracted the whole thing as soon as a little bit of material comes out. Keep pressing from different angles until nothing more emerges from your skin.   When you’re satisfied that you have the whole comedo, simply swipe the extractor loop over it to remove it from your skin. Either wash the extractor off in the sink or wipe the material away on a paper towel. You should sterilize the extractor for every new comedo, even if you’re treating them all in one sitting. Soak the instrument in rubbing alcohol for a minute, then repeat the process with your next whitehead or blackhead. Continue until you’ve removed all the blemishes on your skin. When you extract a comedo, you leave an open “wound” of sorts in your skin that, while not very...

When you're able to prove to your parents that you are a mature, responsible and upstanding young man, they will be more likely to give you more leeway. Try not to break any rules and try to take on more responsibilities; this will allow your parents to see you in a different light.  Figure out small tasks that your parents would see as acting with responsibility. For example, add a chore like washing the dishes, or cleaning your room without having to be told to. Always keep your promise. Nothing shows a lack of maturity more than not doing what you said you would do. Always do what you've promised--and more. As early as the 18th century, people started seeing their hair as a form of self-expression. Explain to your parents that having long hair shows that you are not influenced by others, shows that you're confident enough to make important decisions, and explain that it would simply make you happier.  Give examples that support your argument such as afros, mohawks, and dreadlocks. These are just a few examples of how people have used their hairstyle as a way to express who they are. Explain that your uniqueness should not be hidden. When people try to change themselves to fit others' perspectives, it can be damaging to their self-esteem. Your parents wouldn't want that to happen. Right? Find well-known individuals with a "clean image" to help support your argument that there are many "good people" that have (or have had) long hair.  Some respected Hollywood actors with long hair include Johnny Depp, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman and Cole and Dylan Sprouse. Don't limit your examples to modern celebrities. Try finding well-known people that your parents might know and respect. For example, singer David Bowie, former Beatle John Lennon or even the religious figure Jesus Christ. The goal is to remind them of their own hair battles in order to gain some sympathy from them.Your dad probably had either an afro or long hair back in the 60's, 70's or early 80's when they were in style. Even your mom may have had a...

When you're aiming to lose a larger quantity of weight and are planning to use exercise to support that weight loss, it might be beneficial to set up an exercise plan for yourself.  Write up a little schedule or calendar that shows what type of exercise you'll be doing, what time of day, how many days a week and for how long. Plan to start with low-impact workouts. Try swimming, walking, water aerobics or elliptical use during the first month. These types of exercises might be better on your joints or be easy for those suffering from arthritis.  Also plan to slowly increase the duration or amount of time spent exercising.  You may start out by aiming  to work out for 20 minutes three days a week.  Slowly advance to 30 minutes three days a week and then 30 minutes four days a week. You may want to considering meeting with a personal trainer or physical therapist if you haven't exercised before or want additional guidance. An easy way to begin exercising and just being more active is by increasing your lifestyle activity.  This is an especially good place to start if you aren't currently doing any planned or structured exercise.  Lifestyle activities are those you do on a regular basis.  Walking to and from your car, mopping the floor, taking the stairs in your office or even shoveling snow. Some studies show that those people who do a lot of lifestyle activity reap similar benefits to those people who do structured aerobic activity.  Try to add more movement or steps to your day.  For example, go for a 10 to 20 minute walk after dinner or on your lunch break. Micro walks during the work day, in the morning or during your lunch hour will also help you lose weight. Also, try planning activities, rather than television watching. Encourage your entire family to be more active. Go mini golfing, dog walking or play sports. After you've worked on increasing your lifestyle activity start making strides to participating in some planned and structured cardio exercises.  Most health experts recommend participating in...

When you're at any kind of party or gathering, or even a one-on-one conversation, it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a short-term goodbye much easier.  Notice if the crowd seems to be dwindling. If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave. Find the host, or your friends, give a wave to the room, and leave. Try not to add too much emphasis to your leaving - this could make them feel as if you are desperate to get out. Leave when you want. If you know you won't be able to stay until the end then you could perhaps speak to them beforehand or at the beginning of the party. You don't need to wait for any special signal. If you're ready to go home, or ready for the conversation to move along, say, "Well, I'll be going. See you all later!" Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don't like telling you that they'd like you to leave, so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left. If the host of a party starts cleaning up, or withdraws from the conversation, gather your friends or belongings and make your exit. It's also time to leave if someone starts checking their watch or seems otherwise restless. Even saying, "See you at school tomorrow," or "Can't wait to see you again at Christmas" keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven't already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them. Even saying, "See you soon" suggests just that. Set up a coffee date or meet for lunch later in the week if it makes the goodbye easier, but don't commit to anything you don't want to. It's OK to just leave. It can be tempting to come up with a "good excuse" when you're ready to leave. You don't need to (lying could also make them feel hurt if they find out you didn't mean it). If you want to leave, just say, "I'm going to go now, see you later." It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that. If...

When you're at the flower shop, you might be tempted to buy the tulips with fully-opened, vibrantly colored petals. This would be a fine choice if your tulips were meant to "wow" for a one-night occasion, but if you want them to last a long time, choose tulips that are still tightly closed, with some green buds that aren't fully colored yet. The flowers will open over the course of a few days, giving you more time to enjoy them. If you're  cutting your own tulips and you want them to last as long as possible in a vase, cut them before they're fully opened. Cut as close as possible to the ground. When you bring the tulips home from the shop, keep them wrapped in paper towels or a washcloth soaked in fresh water. This will ensure that the tulips don't start prematurely drying out on the way home. Do this even if the distance from the flower shop to your house isn't very far. Any time out of water will cause the tulips to age faster. Use a small pair of clippers and cut the stems at an angle. This will help them readily soak up water from the vase. If the stems have any leaves that would be submerged in water when you put them in the vase, remove them. The leaves could start rotting and cause the flowers to go limp before their time.

When you're buying or adopting a cat or kitten, ask if he comes with any paperwork. There may be a certificate or letter from a vet to prove that the cat has been neutered. Also don't be afraid to ask. If you are buying the cat from a pet store or adoption agency that doesn't give you any paperwork, ask them if they know if your new cat has been neutered. It is not an indelicate question and makes you more responsible as an owner. If there is no information available when you adopt your cat, or if you found a stray cat, you can check his inner ear for tattoos. Check for tattoos or clipped ears. These signs usually mean the cat has been neutered. There is one tattoo that doesn't mean he has been neutered. If you see a letter M, that means the cat has been micro-chipped. Intact tom cats produce a particularly pungent and offensive smelling urine. If your cat produces very smelly urine, then he may be intact or just recently neutered. If you have tried all other methods and are still not sure, you should ask your veterinarian if the cat has been neutered. She will be able to tell you because she can look for things on your cat that you might not be aware of. Let them know when you go in what your concern is. If you find out that your cat isn't neutered, you should make an appointment to get it done as soon as possible.

When you're by your lonesome, you have no reason to be nervous. You can let your brain flow freely -- so record yourself now! Your English is going to be at its best. Find a book on tape or a clip online that you can mimic. Does your English sound the same? Or record yourself reading from a book. You'll be able to actually hear yourself (which we surprisingly have trouble with in real time) and be able to pinpoint the quirks in your English and where you slow down and have trouble. Then rerecord it and see how you've improved! If your hands are full or you don't have a recording device, simply read aloud -- ideally, every day for at least 15 or 20 minutes. You'll get used to speaking for longer periods of time and forming long sentences won't phase you. And you'll run into words you can add to your vocabulary. It's best to choose books with lots of dialogue. The language is generally more real and a bit simpler; after all, dialogue is conversation. Being able to read poetry is great but conversations are a much more practical skill, you know? We live in such a digital age; even if you think you don't have native speakers at your disposal, you actually do. Scientific American, CBC, BBC and Australia's ABC Radio are great mp3s to get started with, but there's also a million podcasts out there and handfuls of news stations, too. And the best part is that these people generally speak clearly and have pretty generic accents. Another bonus? You'll have interesting things to talk about in English! You'll be up on all the news - even if you're just repeating what you've heard (not like anyone will know!). You're improving your English by expanding your knowledge. Two birds with one stone, really. Alright, so it's not as good as listening to spoken news/podcasts/etc., but it is good. If you can concentrate on one song a day or so, even better. Just make sure you actively try to understand it. Google the lyrics and sing along! It's best to stick to ballads -- songs that go a bit more slowly. Pick one a day until you...

When you're calculating the center of gravity, the first thing you should do is to find the weight of the object. Let's say that you're calculating the weight of a see-saw that has a weight of 30 lbs. Since it's a symmetrical object, its center of gravity will be exactly in its center if it's empty. But if the see-saw has people of different weights sitting on it, then the problem is a bit more complicated. To find the center of gravity of the see-saw with two children on it, you'll need to individually find the weight of the children on it. The first child has a weight of 40 lbs. and the second child's is 60 lbs.
