There are a variety of unpowered, handheld engraving tools you can use. To make detailed pictures, such as you might see in a 19th-century book, select two or three tools for different effects. Here are three common types of traditional, handheld engraving tools:   Spitstickers are used to carve fluid lines.  Gravers produce lines that swell or shrink as you cut, depending on changes in the tool's angle.  Scorpers, with round or square tips, gouge out large areas of the wood to produce white space in the printed image. This tool is probably not necessary if you are not printing. Take a bottle of black pen ink, and use a brush or a cloth to barely cover a flat, wooden block. This will make the areas you've already cut stand out, so it's important not to use so much ink that it soaks down below the surface. Let the ink dry completely. Once it has, check whether there is a rough "nap" to the wood. If there is, remove it by burnishing firmly with a paper towel. A small, leather sandbag makes an excellent support for the wood, providing a firm backing regardless of the direction you push. Clamping the wood to a table is not recommended, since you'll need to move the block around as you engrave. Hold the tool as you would a computer mouse, with your hand lightly cupped around the handle. Press against one side of the metal stem with your index finger, and press the other side with your thumb. Let the heel of the handle rest in your cupped palm; when engraving, you'll push against the heel to provide pressure. Press the tool into the wood at a shallow angle to engrave. Use your other hand to turn the wooden block slowly as you push forward with the tool. Cut no more than 1 centimeter (less than ½ inch) at a time before adjusting the position of your hand. It will likely take some practice before you can cut smoothly.  If the tool quickly embeds itself and halt, the angle is probably too steep.  "Graver" tools can be gradually moved to a steeper or shallower angle to widen or narrow the line drawn. This can take some...

There are a variety of water-repellant treatments such as Rain-X that can be used to help keep water and dirt off of your windshield. To apply a water-repellant windshield treatment, spray a fine mist of the fluid onto a clean, dry windshield. If the fluid doesn’t come in a spray bottle, apply a small amount to a clean microfiber cloth. Wipe it onto the windshield in small sections in a circular motion. Let the treatment dry for 5-10 minutes.  Depending on the manufacturer, you may need to reapply the water-repellant treatment up to once a week. If you see a filmy residue on your windshield after the treatment dries, buff the surface with a clean microfiber cloth using circular motions. Wiper fluid is sprayed from a nozzle just below your wipers onto your windshield. This fluid helps remove dirt and debris that you encounter on your windshield while driving. Ask your car mechanic what brand they recommend for your car. Be prepared to pay a little more than you’re used to for wiper fluid. However, it will be worth it in the long run!  Don’t opt out of wiper fluid. It’s dangerous to drive without it. If you get mud on your windshield, your wipers won’t be able to remove it and your visibility will be dangerously limited. If you run out of wiper fluid and don’t know how to refill it, ask your mechanic to do it for you. Regularly inspect your windshield wipers for issues such as corrosion and tearing. The rubber edge should be firmly attached to the blade and free of cracks or holes that can cause streaking. Gently tug the wiper blade to make sure it’s securely installed into the wiper arm. If you see any issues, talk to your mechanic about replacing your windshield wipers.

There are a variety of ways to do this. Try keeping a log or journal for several days. Or make a chart or graph illustrating how your time is spent. Be sure to keep track of everything that's taking up your time: sleep, work, eating, chores, school, etc. Be honest with yourself here. This will show you how best to manage your time, especially if you find yourself upset at spending so much time in one area of your life. Now that you know where your time is going, how would you like it to be spent? Mainly, what do you want to change about your current routine? If you noticed any wasted time, start by making a goal to address it. For example, if you found yourself spending several hours responding to pointless emails, taking extra breaks, or waiting for things, make it a goal to rescue that wasted time. This doesn't have to be incredibly detailed. Just rank your goals in the order in which you'd like to complete them. Try to put at least 30 percent of your weekly time towards accomplishing a goal. Re-evaluate your goals periodically. You may find after accomplishing some tasks that your priorities have shifted. Don't be afraid to alter your goals or plans. Give yourself a manageable range of time and make a list of the goals you must accomplish. Keep a separate list of things you'd like to get done. Then, look at your week and assign tasks for each day that get you closer to achieving your goals. Remember to include time for family, relaxation, or personal time. While you don't need to detail what you'll be doing, you should be sure to block out the time. Don't allow your schedule to fill up with things that don't get you closer to your goals or that don't make you happy. If something seems like a waste of your time, try to cut it short or get out of it. Likewise, don't feel like you have to accomplish everything yourself or it won't be done correctly. You'll most likely need to learn how to trust and let go in order to accomplish your tasks.

There are a variety of websites online that offer links to live streams of all the popular (and niche) TV channels. These sites are of questionable legality, and you may run into issues trying to load the stream.  A few of the more popular sites include World Wide Internet TV, Live TV Cafe, and Stream2Watch. Many of these services are ad-supported, and you may need to deal with popups and other advertisements in order to watch. These sites are great for watching content from other countries, as they often cover countries around the globe. Most streaming sites have a list of all the available channels, as well as categories and search features. Use these to find the channel that you want to watch. After choosing a channel, you may need to choose from a selection of streams. These are streams running on different servers, and some may be down while others are up. Find the stream that works best for your connection. You will usually have to wait for advertisements to disappear, or manually close advertisements that appear on top of the video player. They typically have a small "X" icon that you can click to close them.

There are a wide variety of ammunition options available for the shotgun, and bird shot--made of small pellets poured into a plastic wadding--is most commonly used for shooting clay pigeons on the target range, or small birds like doves. You can also choose between high-base (also called high-brass) or low-base (also low-brass). High-base (compared to low-base) does not necessarily mean more powder. This is the type of shot you would use against small living creatures such as dove or varmint, where low-base you can use against clays. This type uses large pellets (up to 0.38-inches) seated into plastic wadding. The most common type of Buckshot is 00 (pronounced "double-aught"). 000-buck (triple-aught) is even larger pellets, 0-buck (single-aught) is smaller, the next set of smaller pellets would be #1 buck, then #2 and so on. There are three shell sizes. 2-3/4-inch (standard), 3-inch (magnum), and 3-1/2-inch (super-magnum). Most common shotguns support up to 3-inch (shotguns can always shoot smaller shells, but not necessarily larger), but some shoot the 3-1/2-inch which contain much more powder than standard loads and can carry more pellets. Slugs are essentially what most think of when they think of a bullet. It is a large piece of lead propelled by powder .Slug power is determined in the same way as Buckshot, with standard, magnum, and super-magnum loadings. With magnum and super-magnum you also have the option of getting a heavier (heavier than 1oz.) slug. There are two common types of slugs.  The "rifled" slug is used in shotguns that have a smooth-bore barrel and the sabot slug is used for shotguns with a rifled barrel. Sabot slugs are generally more accurate and higher velocity than rifled slugs, but they require a rifled barrel to be fired accurately, which is less common. When you're shopping for ammunition, keep an eye out for the size of the shot listed on the box and get something appropriate for your needs. Just as a 12-gauge is larger than a 20-gauge, #6-shot uses larger pellets than #8-shot. ...

There are a wide variety of medications out there, both prescription and over-the-counter, that may be able to help you improve your digestion. It's important to remember, however, that medications, even herbal supplements, can interact with one another. Be sure to talk to you doctor about all of the medications you take. If eating foods that are rich in probiotics is not improving your digestion, consider taking an over-the-counter probiotic. These formulas help increase the amount of healthy bacteria in your digestive system. Popular over-the-counter supplements that may help improve your digestion include probiotics, licorice, peppermint oil, chamomile, ginger, L-Glutamine, psyllium, and artichoke. Enzyme supplements are also available over-the-counter. These may help with minor digestive issues, but they have not been tested the way prescription medications have. There is also a small risk for side effects related to these medications, although the side effects are typically minor. Again, you'll want to speak with your doctor before trying these supplements. There are many over-the-counter medications available for the relief of occasional digestive issues like heartburn or diarrhea. If you tend to have gas when you eat foods that are high in fiber, try taking a medication like Beano when you eat these foods. If one of the organs that makes up your digestive system is not functioning correctly, you will likely be prescribed medication by your doctor. For example, a patient whose pancreas does not produce the proper enzymes may be prescribed an enzyme supplement.

There are a wide variety of over the counter medicines that can be helpful in reducing the appearance of old scars. These medicines have been proven effective and are widely available.  Silicone gel sheets have been used on burn victims for several decades. They’ve been proven the most effective over the counter treatment for reducing the appearance of old scars. Alpha hydroxyl acids are often used to treat acne. However, it is also effective in reducing or softening the appearance of old scars. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for other over-the-counter options. Prescription medicine is another option for treating old scars. However, you’ll need a prescription from a doctor in order to gain access to these medications. In addition, a doctor will be able to figure out what medication or treatment will serve you the best.  Steroid cream, applied over time, will stimulate the growth of healthy skin and reduce the appearance of old scars. Steroid injections will stimulate the growth of healthy skin around scars and help reduce the appearance of old scars. Antihistamine creams can have the effect of inhibiting collagen growth and reducing the growth rate of scars -- both of which may help reduce their appearance. Whenever using over the counter or prescription medications, you need to use them and manage them appropriately. Otherwise, you might trigger unexpected and dangerous reactions.  Avoid mixing medicines. Always read the directions and associated warnings of any medications you use. Discontinue use of any medicine if you have any negative or allergic reactions. Consult your doctor.

There are a wide variety of places that sell alcohol. You can get what you need for your party at both online and in person at liquor stores, beer distributors, grocery stores, and some large retailers.  Save money on your alcohol by comparing prices. Often, online retailers or wholesale stores have lower price points. Liquor stores and beer distributors may have more of a selection, but they may also be significantly more expensive. Cut costs where you can and splurge a bit on something special like a premium liquor or wine. Ask store personnel if they are willing to give you a deal. Explain that you will be buying a larger quantity of alcohol and were hoping to help the local economy by supporting the business. Find out if the vendor will refund you for unopened bottles. However, don’t be too push negotiating prices or you might offend the store owner.  Bring some friends or family members to help you carry your purchases. You may have people who don’t consume alcohol and many guests may want something non-alcoholic in between drinks. Make sure to have either tap or bottled water available to your guests and an assortment of other options such as soda, juice, or tea.  Recognize that you can use many non-alcoholic drinks as mixers with liquor. Remember that alcohol causes the body to dehydrate, which means that your guests need to drink water to replenish lost fluids. Encourage your guests to drink more than only alcohol. In addition to your non-alcoholic beverage drinkers, those guests having liquor may want something with which to make a mixed drink. Having a wide variety of mixer options will keep your guests happy and can also help save on alcohol. You may also want extras such as grenadine or Angostura bitters. Consider all or some of the following mixers for your party:  Club soda or seltzer Tonic Ginger ale Cola Diet cola Lemon-lime soda Tomato juice Grapefruit juice Orange juice Cranberry juice Some people like a garnish with their mixed drinks and some guests drinking non-alcoholic beverages may...

There are a wide variety of things you can make your cover out of, but perhaps the easiest and most versatile choice is paper. Paper covers are easy to work with, and easy to switch out if your mood and interests change, or if you want a new cover for a new season or holiday. Consider any of the following:  Paper grocery bag: This old standby is quick, easy, and usually free. Plus, it's fairly durable. The plainer your bag is, the more you'll be able to add later in terms of drawings and decorations. Wrapping Paper: A little less durable and a little more expensive than thick paper bags, but the patterns and designs can make your binder look quite stylish! Save the remnants after you wrap gifts, and scope out sales on wrapping paper after holidays have passed to snag awesome patterns and designs. Printable cover: Try using a search engine to look for "free printable book/binder covers." You should be able to find a good selection of free templates you can print off at home — be sure to pick a design that's the right size for your binder! While you certainly don't have to, you may like the look of neatly ironed paper or fabric. If you are ironing fabric, simply choose the correct heat setting as indicated on your iron. If you're ironing paper, you'll need to take a couple of extra steps:  Begin by lightly misting the wrinkled paper with water from a spray bottle. Place a hand towel on your ironing board, place the paper on top, and then place another hand towel over the dampened paper. On a low-heat setting, iron the paper through the towel, checking every so often to see if the wrinkles are being worked out. Your wrapping material should extend past the edges of your binder when you open it and lay it down. Aim for at least ½ to 1-inch of overhang. If your material doesn't reach past the edges of your binder, it won't be able to cover it completely.  If using a paper grocery bag, cut lengthwise down one of the sides. Cut the bottom off and spread the paper flat. This will give you a single flat sheet of paper...

There are a wide variety of toothbrushes to choose from that are designed for dogs. They are available at any pet store.  Dog brushes have softer bristles and are designed to give you easier access to those hard to reach areas.  Choose a brush based on the size of your dog. You can use a bigger toothbrush for bigger dogs, but a smaller dogs will need a brush that will easily fit into its mouth. There are also finger brushes that fit onto the end of your finger and can provide better precision. But, these brushes also increase the likelihood of  your dog accidentally biting your finger. Do not use an adult human toothbrush to brush your dog's teeth. You can use a soft child’s toothbrush if necessary. Other options to try if your dog resists the brush include specially designed pads and sponges. Like brushes, there are many different toothpastes made for dogs. Do not ever use human toothpaste to brush your dog's teeth.  Human toothpaste contains fluoride and sometimes other ingredients that can be toxic. We don't swallow toothpaste when we brush, but many dogs do. Eating human toothpaste can cause vomiting and possible kidney damage.  Dog toothpaste is available in many different flavors to help make brushing easier and more pleasant for your dog. You may have to try several flavors to find the one that works best for you and your dog. The ideal time to start brushing a dog’s teeth is when it is a puppy. You can start as early as eight weeks of age.  Starting young can help a dog become accustomed to the feel of the brush and the act of brushing.  It will not, however, make much difference in the overall cleanliness of a dog's teeth. This is because it will not have all its permanent teeth until it is six to seven months old. When you brush your dog's teeth can have a big impact on how successful you are. Try to brush the dog's teeth when it is calm and relaxed. A good time to try this is after the dog has been exercising or playing. It will hopefully be tired and less likely to struggle with you.

There are a wide variety of wood-burning irons available from online retailers and at craft and hobby stores. Wood burners typically come with a stand, a heat regulator, and a variety of tips. If you are new to wood burning, you may want to get a basic model, so you can figure out if you like wood burning without spending a lot of money. The price of wood burning irons can vary dramatically depending on the level of heat they can produce and what kind of heat controls they come with. You should be able to find a basic wood burner for about 40 dollars (USD). However, high quality wood burners that professionals use can cost over 200 dollars (USD). Many wood-burning irons come with a variety of tips that can be screwed into the end of the burner. The tips typically come in a variety of sizes that you can choose from. In general, if you want to do small detailed work, use a small tip. If you want to make larger, thick letters, pick a bigger tip.  In addition to large and small tips, there are differently shaped tips that make different types of lines. For instance, your wood-burning iron likely came with a tip that is teardrop shaped. This is made for shading. There are also tips that are made for drawing straight lines, which are wedge shaped and come to a point on on side. Once the iron has been heated up, use a pair of pliers to change the tip out. The pliers will save your hands from the hot iron. Some wood-burning irons come with specialty tips that are basically brands. These are iron tips that have designs on their surface that can be burned into wood with a simple stamping motion. In some cases, these specialty tips include letters. If you have letter tips that will work for your project, they will allow you to burn clear, quick letters onto wood. When using specialty tips to stamp letters, you will have to switch out the tip for every separate letter. Be careful when doing this and remember to use pliers, as the tips will be very hot. Plug your iron in and let it heat up for a few minutes. The...

There are acrylic paints designed to adhere to leather products, including shoes. You can buy them at your local craft store. These paints go on with a brush for a smooth and lasting finish. Your other option is to use spray paint purchased from a hardware store. Choose a spray can with the smallest nozzle possible to minimize over-spraying. While spray painting your shoes is easy, it won’t allow you to get very detailed. Spraying works best when you are painting your entire shoes a single color. Remember to remove the shoe strings before you paint. This is a type of acrylic paint made specifically for fabric painting. It is applied with a brush and is quite durable. It also comes in a wide variety of colors, even with glitter options. Another plus is that it usually doesn’t crack after drying. You can also use fabric paint for leather or vinyl shoes. However, you have to extensively sand the surface of the shoe down almost to its fabric base or the paint will not adhere. You can buy paint markers at most art supply or craft stores. They come with a variety of tip sizes from super thick to ultra skinny. It’s usually a good idea to get a number of markers in the same colors, so that you can experiment. You’ll also want to test out the paint itself, as some are thicker in consistency. If you plan to paint your shoes a single shade, then it’s as simple as choosing the color. If you are going to do a more elaborate pen drawing or painting, then go ahead and sketch out your ideas on paper in advance. You can also create a 3-D design with a computer program, such as Photoshop. Draw on your design with the markers and use a cotton swab to dab at the colors. It will give them a softer look.  Make sure to consider how your design will look from all angles, including the back and from an above view. If you are just starting out, try to avoid any designs that involve layering multiple colors or really intricate images. Instead, go with designs that feature large blocks of color, geometric images, or simple swirl patterns.

There are all kinds of stylish options for women of all shapes and sizes. Consider your proportions to select the right style for your body type.  Consider your height: Longer shorts create the impression of shorter legs, while short shorts lengthen the leg, giving the impression of height. Play it safe. Women of most heights can find stylish and flattering shorts that hit around the mid-thigh.  Consider the fit: Shorts that flare out toward the bottom, rather than hugging the thigh, are flattering for petite girls and curvy women alike. Long styles like mid-thigh shorts or Bermudas are best, while taller women might find longer shorts more appropriate. The large pockets on cargo pockets tend to draw attention to your hips and thighs. Instead, opt for shorts in fun bright colors, or with floral patterns. Dark-colored shorts are also slimming and can look both casual and sophisticated paired with the right shoes. Floral or tropical print shorts can be a fun and flashy addition to your wardrobe, especially in the summer months. Pick out prints that take up most of the fabric, letting the smallest amount of background color show between the prints to make them as flattering to your figure as possible. Increasingly stylish, popular, and flattering, high-wasted shorts are making a big come back. Experiment with fitted and looser styles to get a feel for what's the most slimming. If you've got a shorter torso or are especially busty, you might consider buying shorter waist-style shorts that will look similar on your body. Buy shorts that extend past the hip, but not quite up to the narrowest part of your waist. These are sometimes called "mid-rise" shorts and can be more flattering. Many women's styles feature bottoms that are quite short. While wearing short-shorts will elongate your legs and make them look longer, it's not always the most appropriate look for all occasions and is sometimes smarter to opt for a more conservative approach to the length of the shorts.  Rule of thumb regarding length: Nothing but...

There are already thousands of UFO videos on YouTube, but only the good ones become popular. If you have a good video, put it up! It may go viral before you even know it. Ignore the comments. YouTube is infamous for people using it as a platform to be disparaging and ridiculous. For every person that is negative, there's someone else who finds your video fascinating. If you have good pictures or video and some particularly interesting details you could offer the general populace, contact your local TV station for news coverage. It's possible other people had the same experience. Some may need someone else to speak up for them and convince them they saw what they think they saw. Of course, only do this if you're comfortable going in front of the camera and being a local celebrity. Alternatively, you could choose to remain anonymous in this realm as well. In addition to TV, there's also newspapers, magazines, and radio. It doesn't have to be local either; nowadays, all of us live in a global village connected by the Internet. Contact a few blogs or websites devoted to reports and add your experience to their archives. Every detail gets us closer to the truth. There are hundreds of organizations out there (ranging from the small and silly to the large and serious) looking for more data to prove that we're not alone. Just make sure in doing this that you're working with people you can trust. Never give out any of your personal information that could compromise your identity. Many big cities (and some smaller ones) have groups of people dedicated to proving or debunking UFO stories. Some take the gig very seriously and for others it's just a way to kill time after work. Either way, it'll be a great method to meet with others who have likely had similar experiences and who can help you sort out what you saw. They can also point you in the right direction of who you should talk to to get your voice heard. These organizations sometimes have more credibility that a single individual can have and therefore may receive...

There are always other jobs and other people to have healthy relationships with. If the situation is intolerable, don't torture yourself; instead, find a way out. No one should be given the power to "control" your life. It is your life. Don't forget it. Even if you think you'll never be able to find another job, if you're in a toxic work environment, then it's better to leave for your own mental health. For teens who have to wait until they are old enough to get away, seek volunteer work, sports activities, a job or other things that get you out of the home environment. Ask your parents to pay for college if they have the money, then apply to colleges that are out of state. If they argue about it, explain that the college you want to go to is the only one offering "X" (find something realistic and reasonable). Control freaks are riddled with fears and insecurities that leave them always unsatisfied and unhappy. They demand perfection from themselves, something both difficult and often impossible to achieve. Their inability to understand that failure is part of the cycle of life harms their ability to grow into fully competent human beings and stunts them emotionally; that's a fairly sad state to get stuck in. Whatever your own situation, you can leave and find happiness for yourself but unless they make a choice to change their thinking habits, they may never find peace in their lives. Finding happiness does not always mean leaving. You could take up a time-consuming hobby, you could even find religion, to spend less time with the control freak. Remember that their opinion of you does not need to lower your self-esteem.  Focus on you and remember that you are not responsible for the controlling person's transformation. It has most likely taken a hit. Be kind to yourself. If you are under the thumb of a control freak, he or she might have convinced you that you are worthless; he or she does this as a way to stop you from moving on and leaving him or her. Don't believe this devaluing talk for one minute....

There are an array of symptoms that might point to a person being on drugs, because it will depend upon the drug and its properties. For some, drugs will make them drowsy, relaxed, and happy. Other people who abuse substances tend to be very energetic and erratic in their behavior. You may notice that the person is always on the move but never seems to actually achieve anything. Other behaviors to look out for include:  Acting irrationally or rashly, without thinking about the consequences. Having trouble concentrating. The person may also have a very short attention span and does not stick to projects for long. Forgetting important meetings and events. Many substance abusers tend to gravitate towards risky or treacherous activities. This is because, it part, they do not consider the consequences of their actions. Because of their poor judgement, they may:  Make faulty decisions. Indulge in detrimental behaviors that may be harmful to themselves or others. Have a lot of legal issues. Always be out of money. Someone who is abusing substances may have a track record of breaking things and mismanaging items around the office. You may also notice that the person loses things a lot, or is always asking to borrow other people’s things because they broke or lost their own items. A person who is abusing drugs may develop a nervous attitude when they get to work. The person may speak quickly but without really thinking about what they are saying. On the flip side, the person may also talk very confidently about something that they actually know very little about. A substance abuser may miss work often, either because they are abusing drugs or are trying to hide the fact that they are high. Their excuses may be weak or lack any backing.

There are approximately 600 individual species listed in the Quercus (Oak) genus--most are trees, though a few are shrubs. Some are deciduous, some evergreen, some semi-evergreen.  Oaks are mostly native to woodlands in the Northern Hemisphere, but they vary widely, from cold and temperate forests across North America and Europe to the tropical jungles of Asia and Central America. Some evergreen oak trees (particularly certain American Species) are commonly called "Live Oak". This grouping name describes several species with an evergreen growth pattern, and it does not reflect any taxonomic classification group--in some cases, these species are only distantly related. Thus, evergreen oaks (Live Oaks) can be considered as a type of oak tree, but only insofar as they're an evergreen oak variety. Find an illustrated field identification guide to take with you to the woods; pictures will help you immensely in your quest to name specific species of oak.  In North America, oak trees are split into two main groups: "red oak" and "white oak". Red oaks tend to have darker bark, and lobed leaves that come to a point; white oaks tend to have lighter bark, and leaves with rounded lobes.  Common "white oak" species include chinkapin oak (found in limestone-rich soils), live oak, blackjack oak (found on dry ridges), shingle oak (found on moist slopes), swamp chestnut oak (found in wetlands), white oak (found in various ecosystems), swamp white oak (found in wetlands), and overcup oak (found on stream-banks, in marshy bottomlands).  Common "red oak" species include water oak (found near stream-banks and lowlands), northern red oak (found in various habitats), southern red oak (found on moist and dry slopes), scarlet oak (found on dry slopes), willow oak (found on moist slopes), pin oak (found in wetlands), and cherrybark oak (found near moist slopes and bottomlands).

There are as many different graphing strategies out there as there are types of functions, far too many to completely cover here. If you're struggling, and estimations won't work, check out articles on:  Quadratic functions Rational functions Logarithmic functions  Graphing inequalities (not functions, but still useful information). . Zeros, also called x-intercepts, are the points where the graph crosses the horizontal line on the graph. While not all graphs even have zeros, most do, and it is the first step you should take to get everything on track. To find zeros, simply the entire function to zero and solve. For example:  F(x)=2x2−18{\displaystyle F(x)=2x^{2}-18}  Set F(x) equal to zero: 0=2x2−18{\displaystyle 0=2x^{2}-18}   Solve: 0=2x2−18{\displaystyle 0=2x^{2}-18}  18=2x2{\displaystyle 18=2x^{2}} 9=x2{\displaystyle 9=x^{2}}  x=3,−3{\displaystyle x=3,-3} This is usually points where the graph does not exist, like where you are dividing by zero. If your equation has a variable in a fraction, like y=14−x2{\displaystyle y={\frac {1}{4-x^{2}}}}, start by setting the bottom of the fraction to zero. Any places where it equals zero can be dotted off (in this example, a dotted line at x=2 and x=-2), since you cannot ever divided by zero. Fractions, however, are not the only places you can find asymptotes. Usually, all you need is some common sense:  Some squared functions, like F(n)=n2{\displaystyle F(n)=n^{2}} can never be negative. Thus there is an asymptote at 0. Unless you're working with imaginary numbers, you cannot have −1{\displaystyle {\sqrt {-1}}}  For equations with complex exponents, you may have many asymptotes. Simply pick a few values for x and solve the function. Then graph the points on your graph. The more complicated the graph, the more points you'll need. In general, -1, 0, and 1 are the easiest points to get, though you'll want 2-3 more on either side of zero to get a good graph.  For the equation y=5x2+6{\displaystyle y=5x^{2}+6}, you might plug in -1,0,1, -2, 2, -10, and 10. This gives...

There are at least a half a dozen specific muscles on your face and scalp that you can work to help relieve your headaches.  The areas you want to work on include: above each eye, at the rim of your eye socket, just below your eyebrow (orbicularis oculi); just above the ends of your mouth (zygomaticus major); the area to the left and right of the end of your mouth, if you pretend your mouth extended another inch or so (buccinator); directly above your eyes and eyebrows, slightly to the inside of your face (frontalis); the spots on the back of your head, at the same level as the top or mid part of your ears (occipitalis); the spots under your jaw, on both sides, if you follow the curve and direction of your ear lobe several inches downwards (platysma). There are two ways to apply pressure to these muscles.  One method is to simply use your index finger and press on the spot above your eye and below your eyebrow, on the bone of your eye socket.  You’ll know you’ve found the right spot as it will probably feel uncomfortable.  Another method is to actually pinch this area between your fingers and squeeze. You can work both spots with the same technique.  Put your right thumb inside your mouth on the left side, with your right index finger on the outside of your mouth in the same area.  Pinch the skin between your thumb and your index finger.  You’ll want to move your fingers around from your cheek to the bottom of your jaw — wherever you find an area that’s uncomfortable.  Repeat on the right side of your face with your left hand. This one is quite simple — just use your index and middle fingers to apply pressure to the area above your eyebrow, on your forehead.  Move your fingers around to all the spots where you feel discomfort. You can work this area in one of two ways.  The easy way is to simply use your index and middle fingers to apply pressure to the areas at the back of your head where you feel discomfort.  You can also lie on the ground, while looking at the ceiling, and use a tennis ball to apply...

There are at least half a dozen specific muscles in this area on the back of your neck, between the base of your skull down to your shoulder blades.  Tension in this specific area of your body is probably responsible for the vast majority of headaches. Lie on your back with both hands behind your head.  One hand should cradle the other hand.  Put a golf ball in the palm of the top hand.  Position your hands and the golf ball such that it’s to the side of your spine, not on your spine, then rotate your head to the side to move the golf ball.  The only time you have to move your hands is to move the golf ball further down your neck.  Once you’ve massaged one side of your spine, move the golf ball to the other side and repeat. You can do these stretches while sitting down or even in the shower.  Sit up straight and put your hands behind your head.  Use your hands to gently pull your head forwards until you feel the muscles stretching.  You can also use your hands to pull your head forward and to both sides by about 45 degrees.  Then put one hand on top of your head and pull your head towards that side of your body until you feel the stretch.  Repeat with the other hand on the opposite side. Lie on your back on the floor.  Bend your knees upwards and put your left hand, palm down, under the base of your spine.  Put your right hand on top of your head.  Use your hand to pull your head to the right, while looking at the ceiling, until you feel a stretch.  Then use your hand to pull your head towards the right again, but this time turn your head about 45 degrees so you’re looking at the wall on your right.  Finally turn your head 45 degrees to the left, so you’re looking at the wall to your left, but use your hand to pull your head back to the right.  Repeat the whole process on the left side of your body, using your left hand on your head.

There are babies who are practically born with a basketball in their hands, and these are the kids that grow up to be the pros. It's best to start as young as possible to get in as much experience as you can. Start young and basketball will be flowing through your veins. Being on the school and community team is great, but consider attending basketball camps like Five Star Basketball Camp, National Basketball Academy, and Elite Hoops Basketball Camp. For a few hundred dollars each season, you'll work with the best of the best in your region and start honing higher level skills. In order to get noticed for the college level (your next step), you need to stick out like a speck of gold on your high school's basketball team. This doesn't mean being a ball hog – in fact, not being a team player is something that'll work against you. It simply means taking risks, going for the shot, feeding off your teammates' strengths, and making it happen. In addition to being a great player, you've also got to be coachable and easy to work with, too. If you're keeping others from playing their best, you won't get recruited. And if you have weaknesses your coach is trying to improve but your attitude keeps you from listening, you won't get recruited. Work on your skills as a player, but also work on your skills as a team member and someone who's still learning. If you're the best basketball player that ever walked this earth you may be able to get away with terrible grades, but most colleges are looking for a player who can also manage themselves academically, too. You don't have to have straight A's, but you need to prove that you can handle going to school and playing a sport at the same time. This goes for high school and college. It's your academics that are allowing you to play. And the higher your grades, the better your chances of getting a basketball scholarship (or any scholarship, for that matter). You'll be a role model and a model student that any college would want to recruit. When coaches talk about the players...

There are both electric and hand-cranked models available. Regardless of the type you use, you need to place the frame or frames of honeycomb directly into the barrel of the machine. Snap or clip the frames in place. The exact method you need to follow when securing the frames in your machine will vary from model to model. Make sure that you have instructions for the model you use or otherwise understand how it should work. Crank the machine by hand or switch it on and let the motor do the work. As the extractor spins the frames, the honey will be forced to the walls of the drum. From there, it will gradually ooze down to the bottom. Place several layers of cheesecloth over the mouth of a collection bucket and place that bucket beneath the spigot on the bottom of the extractor. Open the spigot and let the honey strain through the cheesecloth.  This straining process will remove any bits of honeycomb, wax, or other debris that happened to fall off during the extraction process. The extraction and straining process can take several hours, so try to be patient.

There are certain keys you will need to use for different parts of the cat’s body. Some people make more complex cats than others do with their keyboards. But they tend to use the same keys.  Using ^ marks (hold one of the shift keys and press 6 on the numbers above the first row of letters) make good cat ears, and you can use either a w for a cat's mouth, two underscores and a period in between them, or just a period for a nose. You can use lowercase or uppercase letter o's for eyes; if you want a surprised cat, q's can be 'crying' eyes, or you can use @ signs for dizzy eyes, if you like. Don't hesitate to experiment in a text document. Unless specified, many emoticons don't use spacing between the characters. Add spaces, or use the wrong font, and it might not resemble a cat at all.  When using multiple lines of text to create a cat with feet, the figure may not appear correctly when using a font that is not monospaced, meaning a font whose letters do not have a uniform horizontal width. Examples of common mono-spaced fonts include Courier and American Typewriter. Many common fonts, including Times New Roman and Arial, are not monospaced. These are known as proportional fonts. In its most complex forms, such artwork (of cats and other things) has a technical name. It’s called ASCII art. That’s a graphic design technique that creates designs using the 95 printable characters defined by the ASCII standard.  There are lots of different kinds of cats, and the designs get extraordinarily complex. For example, you have the everyday ^^ face, which is made by pressing shift and 6 twice, the =' . '= face, which kind of speaks for itself, and lots of other different faces. Just play around and use your imagination. ASCII is considered an artform because there is no single way to make a cat or anything on it really.  There are many free resources available with pre-made ASCII art online. Try doing an online search for the image you're trying to make followed by the word ASCII to see what others have already made. If...

There are certain preparatory rituals associated with smoking, and chief among those is packing. This is accomplished by inverting an unopened pack of cigarettes, and rapping it smartly, three to six times, against a table or your palm (spanking the camel). This condenses the loose tobacco so that it's a little tighter in the paper, and in theory, burns a little smoother, and lasts longer. Whether you pull it from the pack with your fingers or your mouth, you'll eventually be holding the cigarette. This is an entirely personal choice with no rules, but there are some common methods of smoking to be aware of:  Classic. Hold the cigarette between the index and middle finger, between the first and second knuckle, palm facing downward. Sophisticated. Same as the Classic, but with palm facing you and fingers pointing upward. Casual. Cigarette is set behind the second knuckle of the middle finger, and secured by wrapping the index finger around it. The hand is in a relaxed, closed position, with palm towards you or facing downward. Euro I. The cigarette is held between the thumb and forefinger, palm out, cigarette pointing outward. Euro II. The cigarette is held between thumb and forefinger, palm facing in and slightly up, with filter end pointing directly at you. This is how they always spotted the Nazi spy in the movies. (Or by not holding it this way, how they found the American spies). Palmed. Cigarette is pinched between thumb and forefinger, but palm is facing in, and cigarette is secreted in hand, pointing towards inner wrist. Useful when you don't want it to be obvious that you're smoking. Feminine. Cigarette is held between the first and second knuckles of the index and middle fingers. Hand is relaxed and bent backwards, with palm facing up. If you pulled it out of the pack with your teeth, you're already there. If not, put the filtered end of the cigarette between your lips.  Some prefer to smoke on one side or another, others in the middle. If you want to know, before you light up in public for the first...

There are certain statements and phrases that you will see over and over in a mathematical proof. These are phrases that you need to be familiar with and know how to use properly when writing your own proof.  “If A, then B” statements mean that you must prove whenever A is true, B must also be true.  “A if and only if B” means that you must prove that A and B are logically equivalent. Prove both “if A, then B” and “if B, then A”. “A only if B” is equivalent to “if B then A”. (What is stated above in the image is incorrect.) When composing the proof, avoid using “I”, but use “we” instead. When composing a proof, the first step is to identify and write down all of the givens. This is the best place to start because it helps you think through what is known and what information you will need to complete the proof. Read through the problem and write down each given.  For example: Prove that two angles (angle A and angle B) forming a linear pair are supplementary.  Givens: angle A and angle B are a linear pair Prove: angle A is supplementary to angle B In addition to writing the givens, it is helpful to define all of the variables. Write the definitions at the beginning of the proof to avoid confusion for the reader. If variables are not defined, a reader can easily get lost when trying to understand your proof.  Don’t use any variables in your proof that haven’t been defined. For example: Variables are the angle measure of angle A and measure of angle B. It’s often easiest to think through the problem backwards. Start with the conclusion, what you’re trying to prove, and think about the steps that can get you to the beginning.  Manipulate the steps from the beginning and the end to see if you can make them look like each other. Use the givens, definitions you have learned, and proofs that are similar to the one you’re working on. Ask yourself questions as you move along. "Why is this so?" and "Is there any way this can be false?" are good questions for every statement or claim. Remember to rewrite the steps in the...

There are certain traits you want to convey during your interview, and one of those is organization. After you sit down, bring out your resume, portfolio, or anything else you may want to show, and keep it in front of you. Bring several copies of your resume to hand out to anyone who may take part in interviewing you. This will show you are prepared. An interview is your chance to share all of your best attributes to your interviewer, and convince that person why you are the best candidate to hire. Be sure to plan exactly what features about yourself you want to convey during your interview and how you will express them.  Decide what your best trait is, and have a supporting example ready for your interview. Chances are, your interviewer will ask you about it. Reflect on your best workplace, or life achievement, and be ready to share it during your interview. If possible, bring in proof to reinforce your story, such as an award, or certificate. Companies hire on vacant positions only. In other words, when a company feels they cannot work efficiently with their current staff, they announce positions they feel they need to fill. In this way, you are the need of the business as well as the interviewer. Let him feel as you are the person he needs to get the job done. Explain your qualifying experience. If you have any past experience on solving problems similar to ones your prospective company is facing, mention this during the interview. Don’t complain about your past work to the interviewer, or give them any blame. That type of behavior comes across as immature and useless. Instead, speak of the future. Talk about what you have learned from your past employers and how excited you are to begin new endeavors. This will show you are a positive person. Flexibility is a major selling point to employers. Your interviewer will love hearing how you are eager to learn new skills and evolve with the company. If your interviewer asks you about a technology or procedure during the interview you are not familiar with, don't...

There are contacts that need to be removed every night, and those that can be left in for long stretches of time without cleaning.  The important thing is to know and follow the wear recommendations for your particular lenses.  Especially when you are new to the process, removing and cleaning contacts can seem like a time-consuming chore.  For comfort, effectiveness, and safety, however, always remove and clean or replace your contacts on the schedule recommended for that specific brand and by your eye care professional. Your eye doctor may recommend a “breaking in” period for a week or two when you start wearing contacts.  During this time you will wear them for longer stretches each day to slowly acclimate to them.  This is more common with hard (RGP) lenses. Your eye care professional should provide you with detailed instructions on how to put your new contacts in, take them out, and clean them.  Instructions on how to put contacts in are fairly consistent across types and brands, but refer to your brand's instructions or website for particular details. Cleaning (non-disposable) lenses properly is essential to limiting the chance of infection and other eye problems.  The basics of the process are usually the same regardless of lens type: Wash your hands with a mild soap (without moisturizers) and dry them with a clean, lint-free towel. Remove one lens, douse it with the recommended contact solution, and rub the lens in your palm with your finger (even if marketed as “no rub”). Rinse with solution for as long as recommended.  You normally need to repeat the cleaning and rinsing process for RGP lenses. Place the lens in a clean case, then fill it with fresh solution (don't “top off” any existing solution), and keep in the case for as long as recommended.  Repeat with the other lens. If the recommendations for your lenses vary from this list, follow them. You can clean your contacts perfectly right, but if you store them in a dirty case, your chances of infection or other problems will be greatly increased. ...

There are countless different email providers—most of which are free to sign up for and use—but the three most popular ones are the following:   Gmail — Google mail. Signing up for Gmail also creates a Google account, which is useful for YouTube and other large social media sites.  Outlook — Microsoft-created mail. An Outlook account is required for some Microsoft services such as Microsoft Word (or Office 365), Windows 10, Skype, and Xbox LIVE.  Yahoo — Yahoo is a simple email provider with features like news in your inbox and a terabyte of online storage. All three of the above email providers have mobile apps for your smartphone available for free. This will allow you to send and receive email from your smartphone via your favorite provider. The websites for each of the listed providers are as follows::   Gmail — https://www.gmail.com/   Outlook — https://www.outlook.com/   Yahoo — https://www.yahoo.com/ This button may say "Create an Account" or something similar and is typically in the upper-right side of the email page. If you are on Yahoo's main website, you may need to click the Sign in button first, and then click Sign up at the bottom of the "Sign in" page. Though there may be additional information needed, you'll typically be required to add the following information for all email providers:  Your name A phone number Your preferred email address Your preferred password Your date of birth In some cases, you'll be required to verify your identity over the phone (as in the case of Yahoo), while other email providers simply ask you to prove you're human by checking a box. Once you've completed the setup process, you're ready to send your email.

There are countless engagement rings for sale and you want to make sure that you find the right ring for your fiancée by exploring what styles are available at different vendors. Give yourself time to find the perfect ring. Don’t buy the first ring you find- you can always come back to any ring after searching around a bit. Shop around to get a sense of what stores offer in terms of engagement rings and factors like their insurance and return policies.  It’s important to find a reliable location to buy your engagement ring. This will guarantee the quality of your purchase. Ask for recommendations for jewelers from friends or family. Big name chain stores like Tiffany, Cartier, or Macy’s are also safe locations to purchase a high-quality ring.  The Gemological Institute of American can also suggest quality vendors. Once you’ve done your research and decided on the perfect ring, you’re ready to purchase it for her. There are a few questions you should ask when you purchase your ring about its quality, insurance, and pricing.  Ask whether the diamond comes with a diamond certificate. All quality stones come with a “diamond certificate” that contains information on the stone’s cut, carats, and clarity. Ask whether or not you can purchase insurance for the ring. This is an excellent option if your fiancée loses the ring or it’s stolen. The store also may have a replacement policy if stones fall out of loose settings. Ask about the return policy. You’ll want the option to return the engagement ring if you fiancée doesn’t like it or if the engagement breaks. Ask about financing. If you don’t have the entire amount to cover the ring, ask if the company will finance the cost of the ring over a set period of time.

Adults can take turmeric supplements in capsule, fluid extract, or tincture form.  Have up to 500 mg a day of turmeric in capsule form.  Take 30 to 90 drops of fluid extract turmeric a day. Have 15 to 30 drops of turmeric in tincture form, four times a day. It can be difficult for your body to absorb turmeric if you are taking it on its own. The herb is not water soluble and as a result, 99% of the herb can go right through your body, with no absorption. Taking turmeric supplements with lipids, or fat, seems to increase its absorption rate. You should speak to your doctor before you take any herbal supplements, including turmeric supplements. If you are on blood thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), and aspirin, you should avoid taking turmeric supplements. Turmeric supplements can strengthen the effects of these drugs, thereby raising your risk of internal bleeding. You should also avoid turmeric supplements if you are taking medication that reduces your stomach acid, as it can interfere with these drugs and increase the production of stomach acid to dangerous levels. Avoid turmeric supplements if you are on the following stomach acid medication: Cimetidine (Tagamet), Famotidine (Pepcid), Ranitidine (Zantac), Esomeprazole (Nexium), Omeprazole (Prilosec), Lansoprazole (Prevacid). Turmeric can increase your risk of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, so it should be avoided if you are on diabetes medication.

There are currently quite a few air quality monitors on the market that can effectively detect (and log over time) the quality of air inside your home. These devices typically check PM2.5 levels (tiny dust particles and other allergens in the air that you inhale), VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds – like chemical pollutants), temperature, and humidity (for mold).  Some of the most reliable air quality monitors on the market are the Foobot, Awair, Speck, and Air Mentor 6 in 1. These devices typically cost between $150-250 US. You can typically tell if there is a mold infestation in your home by using your eyes and your nose. If you smell a musty odor coming from certain parts of your home, and cleaning doesn't remove the smell, you might want to consider hiring a professional for a mold test. You should also look around for visible signs of mold – like growing black spots, water spots, or particularly damp areas in your home. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that can be a byproduct of many appliances found in your home (like stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, hot water heaters, and grills). It can be deadly if inhaled, so it's important to always have carbon monoxide detectors installed on every floor of your home to alert you if there are high levels of CO in your home.   Place the carbon monoxide detectors close to your bedrooms so that you'll be more likely to hear the alarm when you are sleeping. Make sure you change the detector batteries regularly. A good rule of thumb is to change the batteries once every 6 months or so, though the duration will vary depending on the model. Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally as uranium breaks down. It can be found in the soil and in well water, and sometimes it can infiltrate people's homes. The only way to prevent radon contamination is to test for it. You can purchase at-home radon tests from most home improvement stores.  Most tests involve a charcoal reading that is done by leaving the sensor material in your home, then collecting it...

There are different forms of film criticism. The most common form is the review, which acts as a recommendation or warning for people who haven’t yet seen the film. These are a few hundred words and focus on evaluating the film--saying whether it is excellent, good, mediocre, or poor.  An academic article is more formal than a review, and much longer. It is less focused on opinion, and assumes the reader has seen the film. A critical essay is less formal and more opinionated than an academic article, but more formal than a review. Don’t feel pressured to choose a particular form of criticism and stick to it. Many film critics write in all three forms, or blend different forms! A film critic should not merely describe the plot, scenes, music, and style of the film they are studying, but also be able to analyze these elements. To analyze a film, think about how different elements work together and the effect they produce.  For example, you might observe that a director uses a lot of dark colors in his film. Through analysis, you might conclude that this use of color mirrors the dark emotions of the main character. Critical essays and academic articles focus on description and analysis, while reviews usually do not. A critic should be able to interpret a film, or determine its meaning. Think about the claims a film is making. What message is the director trying to convey? Different critics may have different interpretations of the same film.  A film critic might interpret the film Snow White as a commentary on the pitfalls of vanity. Critical essays and academic articles offer interpretations, whereas reviews sometimes do, but often don't. Evaluation is the most important aspect of a movie review. When you evaluate a film, you make a judgment about its quality. Is it an excellent film, a mediocre film, or a bad film? Base your evaluation on your understanding of film as an art form.  A critic might offer the evaluation that Snow White is one of the best animated films of its time. Reviews focus heavily on...

There are different materials that you can buy to strap and support your elbow. Either trainer’s tape or kinesiology tape or tubular bandages can help limit your range of motion that is causing you discomfort, reduce stress on the injured tissue, and may allow more blood to flow to the injured area.  Trainer’s and kinesiology tape are often best for muscle injuries. The tape expands when you move, making the treatment comfortable and practical if you have an active lifestyle or continue to exercise.  If you have sensitive skin, consider trying quick release medical tape, which combines the strength of trainer’s and kinesiology tapes with less chance of irritating the skin during wear or removal.  Tubular medical bandages are wrapped around the affected area and then affixed with tape or a small fastener. This might also be a good option if you have sensitive skin. Tubular bandages are an especially good option for wrapping joints or even to cover tape.  You can purchase trainer’s and kinesiology tape and bandages at many pharmacies, medical supply stores, and sports stores. Some larger retailers may also carry it. Consider trying to strap your elbow with duct tape, which is as supportive as trainer’s or kinesiology tape.  Some professionals may recommend using black tape, as it can adhere better to sweaty skin. Purchase bandages to wrap, strap, and support your elbow. Bandages will support your elbow and they may also help to reduce any swelling you have.  You can use most types of medical wrap bandages at pharmacies, medical supply stores, and even some sports stores. Make sure to buy a bandage that is long enough to wrap your elbow enough to support and immobilize it. You will need to purchase medical tape or pins to keep the bandage in place. Prepare your arm skin for taping or bandaging by washing and shaving it, if necessary. This can not only help remove dirt and debris, make the tape stick more effectively, but also may prevent any discomfort when you remove the tape or bandage.  Wash away any oils,...

There are different possibilities, such as using a renowned publisher, vanity publishing or publishing eBooks or blogs online. Choose a well known publisher and half the battle can be won for bestseller status. Suggested examples are Oxford University Press and Penguin Books, which publish many bestsellers. However, publishers reject a lot of attempts at book deals, so have a huge list to work through and don't give up. Keep sending that manuscript out, again and again until it gets accepted. If not, vanity publishing is more accessible than ever. If you've chosen to use an established publisher and they've accepted your work, expect them to market the daylights out of the book. If they don't, ask why not. If you don't like the answer, you might need to return to the drawing board but it is worth pushing them before giving up. Some bestsellers are sleepers. Some might need nudges from you. Share the link to where it can be bought from on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. Give some away in blog or Facebook competitions. Tell friends and family it has been published (the one time you can guilt them into helping through this whole process). Give some away as Christmas gifts. Send copies to a favorite celebrity. Market yourself. It completely depends on the situation, the whim of the buyers, the tone of the season, the calibration of the planet... Really, there are lots of things that go into making written work turn bestseller or viral. You can do your best to achieve this but apart from the well known (and very bankable) churner authors in such areas as crime, law and romance, most authors live with hope. Your publisher can do some things but even they can't perform miracles, so be patient. If, after a year or two, the book seems to be doing the ordinary thing, like being bought occasionally, go back and write again. It just means you've still got a bestseller waiting to emerge, so don't give up. Consider sending your book to literary award groups or organizations. In some cases, the publisher may need to do...

TL;DR in Russian:

There are different types of flats and pants, and some styles look better paired together than others. Certain types of pants, when paired with a certain type of flat, can also make your legs look longer or shorter. This section will give you different ideas on how to pair pants and shorts with your flats. These sorts of pants include the boyfriend cut, Capri's, and any rolled-up pants. They look especially good with ballet flats, sandals, moccasins, and canvas sneakers. This pairing also helps your legs look longer, especially of the flats are open-top (such as ballet flats). Above the ankle flats can also be worn with shorter pants. If you are wearing above the ankle flats or boots, however, be sure to tuck the pants inside the boot. The one exception to this are high-top Converse sneakers; the jeans won't fit into the narrow cuff of the shoes and should be born over them. They will also help your legs look longer. If it is cold, you can consider wearing some tights under the shorts for a punky sort of look. Below the ankle flats can also be worn with shorts, but they will make your legs look even longer. If you have very long legs to begin with, keep this in mind. They should never be tucked into a pair of boots, however, or they will bunch up. Consider wearing a pair of pants that are the same color as your boots. This will help your legs look longer. It will also prevent the shoes from "dividing" your leg in half.

There are different types of prisms that manipulate light in different ways. You will need to get a basic prism, also called a refractive prism. This type of prism will allow the light to bend in a way that splits it based on its wavelength. In other words, shorter wavelengths bend more, and longer wavelengths bend less. This creates a rainbow as the light exits the prism. You can buy a prism at a science supply store, a hobby store, or online. Basic prisms are relatively inexpensive. The prism operates by splitting a beam of white light into its component colors. To see this, you will need a high-intensity light source. Put the prism by a sunny window or outside on a sunny day. Make sure that there is nothing blocking the light from reaching the prism. As the light passes through, it will bend and be split into a rainbow. It might be easier to see if you aim the prism at a white wall or a white piece of paper.

There are different types of turtles available for purchase. These can present different difficulties in care, cost differences, and differences in how tame or docile the animal is.   Painted turtles are a great aquatic species for beginners. This is a colorful variety of turtle, readily available, easy to care for and great for a new turtle owner. They stay small, only 4 to 5 inches, and are active. They're also commonly bred in captivity and years of breeding has created a docile and tame animal. They are recognizable for their colorful markings that make them appear "painted," hence the name. Common Musk Turtles. These are a small, relatively hearty, aquatic turtle. They can rest comfortably in a small tank (as small as 30 gallons) but do not generally like to be handled. Slider turtles. There are many varieties of sliders with two being the most common — the red eared and yellow bellied slider. They stay under 11 inches and are easy to care for. They also have tame and docile personalities. Diamondback Terrapin. This is another type of turtle commonly available in pet stores and amongst breeders. While these turtles stay small (9 inches at the most) and are friendly, they require a little more expertise than either painted turtles or sliders. They prefer brackish water (a slightly salted water) and thus will require more work. Many pet stores will sell a variety of turtles. However, you will want to know the provenance of your turtle before bringing it home. This can include whether it was captive bred or caught from the wild. In addition to this you will want to make sure that the turtle is being kept in a proper habitat and appears alert and healthy.  Ask for proof that the turtle was captive bred. If the breeder cannot provide this, chances are the turtle was born in the wild. This can have detrimental effects on wild turtle populations and also make your turtle more prone to stress, which is potentially detrimental to the animal's health. Since many turtles can be bred in poor conditions or undergo...

There are different ways people are shy. You can be shy in more than one way. Seeing the forms of your shyness can help you focus your effort to overcome it. If you are not a medical professional qualified to diagnose psychological conditions, then you will need to see one in order to find out which of these apply to you:  Anxious shyness includes not just social anxiety, but also extends to social phobias. These conditions can be managed by a therapist, psychiatrist or other properly licensed individual. Introversion gets often cited in cases of shyness. Shyness related to introversion is very common, and may exhibit itself in roughly 50% of the population to some degree or other. This is a personality trait, and can be managed with regulated extroversion (building extroverted skills and traits). Record your experiences of shyness and your attempts to be outgoing. Write down how you feel and as many details as you can remember. You can look at your journal later to see if any strong patterns emerge.  Make this a daily habit, if possible. Incorporate it into your routine. Give yourself a treat for completing a journal entry to solidify it into your daily routine. Be honest with yourself. If you catch yourself trying to rationalize what you're saying, chances are, you could dig a bit deeper into the true meaning of what you're trying to express. Instead, try and state it as plainly as possible. Pay special attention to how you feel. Mark your emotions when you feel them. This way you can take control of your feelings. What you choose to do can have a big impact on how much you interact with other people. Staying at home instead of going out means there will be very little opportunity to socialize. When you do this all the time, you get used to it. Ditch your mobile phone.  Leave it at home when you go out. Put it in the freezer or microwave (no cooking) for a few hours, until you forget about it. You're more likely to talk to other people.

TL;DR in Russian:

Изучите свою застенчивость. Ведите дневник с датами. Найдите изолирующие привычки.


There are differing opinions on exactly when a baby is ready to use a baby walker. There is no set age, since all babies develop at their own rate. However, there are certain signs that indicate when the baby is ready to use a baby walker:  In order to use a baby walker, the baby should be able to sit up on their own and be able to crawl.  Sitting up is necessary because the baby needs to sit up in the walker.  The ability to crawl is important because the baby has to have some control over the movement of their legs in order to make the baby walker move. Some parents wait to use a baby walker until after their baby begins to pull themselves up on furniture. This could be based on the idea that the baby walker will prevent the baby from bumping their head or getting hurt in some other way if they fall to the floor. Due to the fact that baby walkers are meant to roll, several things need to be kept in mind whenever a baby is using one:  First of all, the floor needs to be smooth with no loose rugs that can catch on the wheels or bunch up beneath the walker. It is also a good idea to make sure that there is a wide open area so that the baby walker doesn't get stuck. The parent should check the area for anything dangerous or fragile that will be within the baby's reach. Any stairs should be blocked with a door or sturdy baby gate to prevent the baby from accidentally going down them in the walker. You can also use baby gates to block any rooms you want to prevent the baby from entering. Make sure there are no sharp edges that your baby could run into. Remove or cover any sharp edges that are at the level of the baby's head. A baby walker should never replace parental supervision.  In fact, parents should stay in the room with a baby that is using a walker to prevent them from getting stuck or injured. The added mobility can allow the baby to get to places and reach things that were not accessible while crawling. If the walker is used outside, the baby should wear shoes because the surfaces are rougher.  Also,...

There are dozens of online dating websites now, so do your research about them and choose one that fits your needs.  Look for one that focuses on your particular age group, religious beliefs, type of relationship you are seeking, or type of membership (free or paid). Common online dating websites include eHarmony, Plenty of Fish, OurTime, Match.com, ChristianMingle, and OkCupid. Sign up for a membership and establish your profile. Answer the questions about yourself honestly, as this will best help the algorithms of the website match you to girls who fit your type. Upload at least one good photo of yourself so that matches can see what you look like. Social media has become incredibly prevalent in our society, and it has become a common way for people to flirt and find relationships.  Sign up for a social media account like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Set up your profile with basic information about yourself and a profile photo. Decide whether you want your profile to be public or private. Setting it to private could block girls from interacting with you.

These provide an alternative method of getting to know someone without the distraction of profiles and status updates.  Find an online chat room that caters to singles looking to flirt or find a relationship. Sign up, if required, or simply enter a chat room to begin chatting.

There are dozens of options, and they all have different benefits.  Choose one that’s conveniently located and fits your budget. You can get a good photo without shelling out a lot of cash, but of course a professional photographer will offer the highest quality photo. Some places require appointments, so plan ahead. Some options include  shipping centers (in the U.S., this includes Fedex and UPS) places with memberships (such as Costco and AAA) Costco offers some of the cheapest passport photos. AAA will sometimes do it for free if you’ve booked a trip through their travel services.  pharmacies and retail stores (CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart all offer this service) professional photography studios passport offices (many offer this service, but not all, so call ahead) registered passport expediters (if you need it in under two weeks) in your own home (but be sure to follow the strict requirements) Give your hair a little time to get over that fresh cut look by planning a haircut in advance if you need one.  About a week or two should still leave your hair looking neat and tidy by picture time. Of course, if you want the fresh cut look and trust your stylist not to botch it, you can wait until the last minute. If you like to shape your eyebrows, it’s best to do it about a day in advance to get rid of any redness before the photo but not give strays enough time to return. You could also get them waxed if you want to shell out a few bucks for this special occasion.  If you find that the skin around your eyebrows gets red after you pluck them, try applying cool, wet tea bags or a bit of aloe. To prevent dark shadows under your eyes and redness in your eyes, try to get enough sleep for several days before you take your passport photo. This will also help brighten your skin and make you look healthier.
