Whether you want to save time, avoid mess, or get a close shave without irritating your skin, there are basically two types of electric shaver to use: rotary and foil. Rotary shavers utilize a revolving motion that guarantees a closer shave. This is a very popular choice because it doesn’t pull hair and provides a comfortable shave.  The three rotating mechanisms of a rotary shaver can help with hard to reach areas. Flexibility can depend on the brand so do your research to accommodate the contours of your face. Titanium blades that form part of the rotary mechanism aid in painless shaving.  A foil shaver has oscillating blades behind steel foils that lifts the hair out of the face as opposed to cutting it. These electric shavers have 3 to 4 blades and more blades means a reduced shaving time but can also be more noisy . The large head allows you to cover more area so this choice may be right for you if you want a quick and efficient shave. Foil shavers need the foil replaced every 1 -2 years depending on the toughness of your stubble. If you end up pressing harder to get a decent shave, chances are that you forgot to change the foil.  Rotary blades needs to be replaced once a year.  Skin irritation is another sign that you need to change the foil. Don’t throw away the manual as details of how to replace parts and valuable manufacturer contact information will become invaluable the longer your keep your shaver. Understand that each shaver utilizes a different method to remove hair so optimize your shave by moving in a supplementary direction.  When using a rotary shaver, make small circular motions  with the shaver head on your face but remember not to press hard or go over the same spot repeatedly to avoid irritation.  Foil shavers work best when you shave with back-and-forth strokes. Debris can easily build up, especially if you have thick facial hair so be sure to regularly clean your electric razor. Do not bang your shavers or use tools that aren't specific to cleaning shavers.  Foil shavers by Braun,...

Whether you want to surprise your mother for a birthday, Mothers' Day, or just because, quality time together trumps material gifts every time. Organizing an outing together might not be the most shocking surprise you could possible organize, but it might be the most meaningful. Put your phone away and give your mother some quality time and attention. Talk to her. Listen to her. Be with her.  Organize a quiet day together, having afternoon tea at the house and talking. Go for a walk in a nearby park and spend the evening watching family movies, or movies your mother likes. Go through old picture books. It doesn't have to be complicated. Gather photos, old family video, or other trinkets and go through them together. If you're feeling really ambitious, you could edit a family video compilation for her and have the premiere. Go for a walk around an exciting part of town your mother doesn't often visit and show her around, or go on a long hike, bike trip, or run together if your mother is the adventurous type. Take your mother to church, or to visit other relatives she may not get the chance to see often. Whatever you do, just arrange to spend the day–all day–together. An excellent way to surprise mom is to make the day less stressful by cleaning up the house, especially if it's not a chore you often undertake without being told to in advance. Even spending a little bit of time tidying up can make a big difference. It'll mean a lot.  Start in your room to make sure you get that all the way done while you have time. Take your clothes to the laundry and tidy up your belongings, putting things in the right place. Then, move to the living room and other areas to finish as much as you can before your mom sees. If you don't have time to do a serious cleaning, just organizing books, straightening pillows, and picking up can look great. Dishes, garbage, and dealing with recycling are all added bonus steps. Clean up the kitchen, then wipe down the countertops to give them a little sparkle. If you get the chance, finish...

Whether you want to write about streamlining operations or reducing costs, figure out what the key issue is. Often, the idea might be clear to you. If, however, you are trying to make a mark or troubleshoot, be observant. Before writing a proposal, be sure to check all the facts. Talk to relevant people whether co-workers, managers, or customers. Read about similar companies and see what they do differently. For example, if you think the management should change its caterer, talk first to the kitchen staff. What do they think? Have they worked in other places with different caterers? What do your co-workers think? Maybe your disgruntlement is a matter of personal taste rather than quality. To start your proposal, describe what is happening at present. Include all relevant facts (who is involved, dates, locations). In this part, do not issue judgement; rather, just explain things as they are. For example, you might write “Company X has been using Caterer Y for the past seven years. During this time, the number of available entrees has decreased from five to two. The amount of vegetarian-friendly items also has decreased with some days there being none.” After identifying the problem, write specifically what you propose to do. Lead with your key point. Show what your findings are based on your research. For example, you might write, “I recommend that Company X switch to another caterer. Company X has several other caterer options. Caterer W and Caterer Z both offer larger menus and have comparable costs to our existing provider. Furthermore, because Caterer Z offers daily vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free entrees, they could better meet the needs of our workforce. Caterer W offers fewer vegan-specific items but also could be a good choice. A survey completed in 2011 showed that 40% of our employees are vegetarian, 10% are vegan, and 2% are gluten-free.” Describe each step and its related implementation times or costs. Be clear with what you know and what remains to be seen. Consider writing numbered steps....

Whether you're a girl with a lot of makeup, or a guy who has to ask a girl for help or to do the walk of shame to the drugstore, it's important to have all of the right materials before you start covering your hickey up with makeup. Here's what you need to get the job done:  Green corrector. Purple corrector. Concealer. A make-up brush. Foundation (optional). The trick is to apply the color opposite on the color wheel to balance out and neutralize the color of the hickey. The inside of your hickey will be purple while the outside will be more red, so you'll need to use yellow to color the inside of the hickey. Apply the yellow corrector gently to the inside of the hickey, using a thin brush. Clean your brush and use it to apply the green corrector to the remaining red part of the hickey. Find a concealer that matches your skin tone and apply it over the hickey with your make-up brush. If you're not sure about which shade is best, first try using it on the other side of your neck to see if it blends in.  Once you've applied it with the brush, you can dab it with your fingers to set it into your skin. Bring the make-up with you wherever you go so you can reapply it in case it smudges during the day. To ensure that the makeup lasts as long as possible, apply a translucent powder on top of the concealer to lock it in place (if it looks too powdery, spray some setting spray on top). If you want extra coverage for your hickey, you can apply a layer of foundation to keep the hickey hidden. Apply the foundation with a foundation brush and use a sponge to blend it in further.

Whether you're a recent graduate or you've been working as a nanny for many years, you need to communicate to the parents why you are qualified for the position. Make sure to communicate how your experience is relevant to this specific job.  Even if you've never worked as a nanny before, you can probably think of some relevant experience you've had with children. Babysitting, working as a tutor, and volunteering at a summer camp all count as relevant experience.  If you have a degree in early childhood development or a related subject, talk about the kinds of classes you took and what you learned. Some parents may have no idea what your degree entails. Be sure to highlight any special skills that you have that could benefit the children. Knowledge of childhood development is a huge asset, but there are also many other skills that parents may be looking for. Be sure to mention the following skills, as well as any other unique talents that set you apart.  Second language Culinary abilities Musical or artistic talents Teaching or tutoring experience Exceptional driving record The parents want to know that you will be energetic and engaged when you're with their children, so you need to seem genuinely excited about the opportunity.  Try showing enthusiasm by talking about some of your favorite activities to do or your favorite meals to prepare. Asking questions about the children will not only make you seem more interested in the job, but it will also give you clues about what qualities the parents might be looking for in a nanny.  Find out how many children the family has and how old they are. Ask about the children's interests and activities. Find out if the children have special medical needs or behavioral challenges. Learn how the parents discipline their children and what guidelines they expect you to follow. Your answers should show that you are experienced, professional, and friendly, but they should also be true. Don't lie during an interview, even if you think it will help you.

Whether you're a teacher at a school or working in an office with many others, it's important to keep your belongings separate from others. This decreases the likelihood head lice or any other pest or illness is spread through touching jackets, hats, or bags.  If you are a teacher or building a classroom, ensure that your classroom's cloakroom or closet allows for plenty of space between each student's belongings. This might mean spacing out clothes hooks or assigning individual cubbies or boxes for students to stow away their things. Avoid hanging your jacket or storing your bag in a communal closet. Some places like restaurants, bars, and hotels offer you a coat check. Rather than checking your things, you could bring your things with you, or ask that your jacket be stored away from others. Things like hairbrushes, hats, scarves, and jackets could be placed in plastic bags when you go out in public, especially if you're sending your kids to school. This keeps the lice out and plastic bags are easy to throw away before going home. To be extra cautious, you can throw in your belongings in the freezer after coming home. Head lice cannot survive in low temperatures. Use disinfectant or soap to kill germs and prevent lice from crawling into the home. Wipe down your bag or backpack and throw the clothes you wore outside into the washing machine. It's not only important to do your part in preventing head lice from invading your home and your family, but it's also important to educate others on how to prevent and treat head lice. Urge your school or community to make head lice prevention and education available. It's as easy as making an announcement about what head lice is and how to prevent it or making flyers and directing others to resources or treatments that they can access.

Whether you're a tourist, or simply carrying a large sum of cash on your person, the last thing you want to do is draw attention to yourself. Some people draw unwanted attention without even realizing it. To remain discreet while carrying money:  don't wear fancy clothes or jewelry  be careful about checking maps  walk confidently like you know where you're going, even if you don't  cover up any visible bulges in your pockets or under your clothing  if using a secure pocket or money belt, resist the urge to repeatedly touch or check that hiding spot If you're carrying a lot of cash, it's important to be constantly aware of where you are and who is around you. If you notice someone staring or watching you, or someone who suddenly looks away when you see them, be cautious of that person. They may be planning to rob you.  Avoid high-risk, high-crime areas. You should also exercise great caution in known tourist areas.  Be extremely cautious in metro stations and on public transportation. These places are prime pick-pocketing opportunities for thieves.  If you feel someone jostle or "bump" into you, check your belongings to ensure you were not robbed.  Do not walk alone while carrying cash. If you cannot find other friends to walk with you, then it may be best to take a cab to your destination. Just be sure that the cab is a legal, marked, authorized cab. You can increase the safety of a cab ride by calling to request a cab, rather than getting into a random taxi on the street.  Remember that in spite of all precautions taken, anyone can be a victim anywhere at any time. Do not let yourself become overly confident or feel secure, as this is often the first step to letting down your guard. Counting money leaves you susceptible to a robbery, and it also gives a thief a visual clue as to how much money you're carrying. You should also avoid carrying more cash than you'll need, so try to plan ahead and know how much money you'll need.  Carry small bills and coins in a separate pocket, so you don't need to make change...

Whether you're dating a woman or not, you should treat her like a gentleman would. This doesn't mean subscribing to outdated ideas of chivalry (like, for instance, pushing in her chair for her). Rather, it means that you should extend her the respect and goodwill you would give a serious colleague. Listen to her when she talks. Respect her opinions, even if you disagree with them. Most importantly, treat her like an equal - she is.  No need to handle women with kid gloves. Many women love raunchy humor as much as men do. Making jokes (even lewd ones) with women isn't treating them disrespectfully - it's showing that you consider her enough of an equal to let your emotional guard down. Get a sense of a woman's personality first, then, if she seems game, joke away. On the other hand, avoid the use of gendered insults like "bitch," even if you're just joking. It's easy to make a bad habit of using these words and even easier to have your intentions be misunderstood. Manly men don't hurt peoples' feelings on the basis of their gender. Never, ever commit an act of violence against a woman - it's one of the least-manly things you can do. That of course does not mean that you have to allow to a woman (or anybody else)  to be violent, abusive or disrespectful toward you or anybody. Strength and violence are different things. To stop an abuse is a must, but does not necessarily need violence; use your brain power, instead. It's easy to respect your guy friends. It's much harder to respect the creep in the office who always breathes over your shoulder. A manly man does both. Manly men  never  bully or humiliate people. They also avoid participating in gossip. Anything you would scold your son for doing on the playground, you should avoid doing in the adult world.  Many times, annoying men won't even know they're annoying. If someone at the office has really bad breath, take them aside quietly and recommend some breath mints. Don't tease them in front of everyone at lunch. There's no reason to make someone suffer for...

Whether you're going to dress out a rabbit you shot while out hunting or are going to harvest a farm rabbit, you need to make sure it dies as quickly and painlessly as possible.   If you shoot the rabbit, hold the rabbit firmly by the two back feet, and use your hunting knife on the back of the neck at the base of the skull to sever the spinal cord with a quick incision. You can either remove the head completely at this point to facilitate blood draining out, or you can wait until you've started skinning.  If you're harvesting a farm rabbit, it's common to use a blunt object like a rolling pin, broomstick, or other device to strike the animal at the base of the skull, or to dislocate the animal's neck with your hand. Dislocating is easier, because it eliminates the possibility of a missed strike, common for beginners. Holding the rabbit by the hind legs with one hand, grasp the animal with your other on either side of the head, pulling both hands away from each other firmly, twisting the head up and back to dislocate the neck. The animal will become unconscious immediately if done properly. Before skinning the rabbit, it's common to remove the head with a heavy knife, laying the rabbit flat on a cutting surface and inserting the knife at the base of the skull where it meets the neck. Push through with a firm chop. Hang the rabbit from it's hindquarter, just under the hock to drain into a bucket.   You can pierce the rabbit's hind leg into the Achilles tendon to hang it upside down, just under the hock (the big part of the hind leg, like the thigh). There's some discussion about how necessary it is to bleed out a rabbit you're planning on eating. Because there's not a lot of blood to drain from a rabbit, some hunters skip this step and remove the head during the skinning process. Bleeding out will, however, result in "cleaner" looking and in some cases more tender meat if you bleed the rabbit immediately after killing it. You can dress the rabbit more or less immediately after killing it, and since it's...

Whether you're in love or just dating, there is really no wrong way to move in for a hug. So just do it! A casual touch can be used to introduce a casual hug, and an intimate touch can be used to introduce an intimate hug. Let your hand brush against his arm a few times, or allow it to linger there for a few moments. Look into his eyes, or sneak up behind him and plant one on him. If you want to give him a hug, just give him the hug. Don't overthink it, just wrap him up. In general, you'll slide both arms between his arms and his torso, connecting them around his back for a deep, close embrace. However, if you're feeling romantic, there are plenty of other ways to hug him:  Wrap one hand behind his back, just above his butt. Place the other hand around his neck so that your fingers rest where his neck meets his shoulder. Lightly grab onto the left side of his neck (his right side) with your left hand. If you're extra romantic, you can lightly tousle the back of his hair with your fingers. Place one palm lightly on his upper chest, wrapping around his waist with your other arm. As you wrap your arms around his neck or chest, press your upper body into his. Pressing your chest into his is considered a "heart to heart" hug. If you're the same height as him, you might rest your head on his shoulder. If you're shorter, turn so that you rest your cheek on his chest. Just slow down and relax. A hug is simply a chance to press close together, enjoying each other's company. If your first hug position isn't right, simply move your arms and body into a more comfortable position. If you are in a good embrace, let your hug linger until the moment passes or you feel him begin to pull away. Pressing your upper half into his can indicate romantic interest, but it is still fairly tame. Allowing your hands to roam or your legs to intertwine, however, is a great way to kick it up a notch and suggest stronger desire.  Massage his back, neck or chest lightly with your fingers to kick things up a notch. Pull his face down into a...

Whether you're in the office or out with your friends, sometimes someone will do something that makes you feel uncomfortable. Use assertive communication to not only tell them that you're uncomfortable, but to suggest an alternative.  If, for example, your co-worker keeps taking supplies from your desk without asking, don't just say, "I wish I had more pens, but someone keeps taking mine," when they are near you. This is a passive approach. Instead, confront them directly and say, "I get frustrated when you take my supplies because it inhibits my ability to do my job correctly. I'd prefer you request your own pens from now on. I can show you where the supply room is if you don't know where to get them yourself." An aggressive telemarketer or campaigner on the street can be difficult to shake. Use assertive communication to tell them what you need from a situation, and then follow through with direct action.  If a telemarketer won't stop calling, for example, stop them before they get to their sales pitch and let them know, "I know you are doing your job, but I am not interested in your product. I'd like to be removed from your list immediately. I will escalate this situation if you call me again." Then, follow through with direct action by writing down the name and number of the person and company that called you. If they call again, you can ask to speak to their manager or report the company to a overseeing body like the FCC. You can also take direct action by blocking the phone number and/or ignoring the phone call. In some situations, like asking your boss for a raise, you can proactively use assertive communication. Let that person know what you want and why you want it. Be firm, but stay open to conversation.  If you want to ask for a raise, for example, tell your boss "I'd like to discuss a salary increase. My metrics consistently outperform everyone else in the department by 30% and I want my hard work reflected in my paycheck. My goal is a 7% increase. Is this something we can make happen?"

Whether you're making a physical or digital memory book, the first thing you need to do is decide what you want your book to be about. Common memory book themes include:   Family members – Make a book about a specific loved one. In addition to photographs, you can also include things he or she wrote (like letters and postcards), drew (like pictures your child has made), or anything else that is flat enough to fit inside a book or to be scanned into a computer. You can also include documents associated with this person, such as a report card, a copy of a birth certificate or marriage license, or a birthday card he or she received. If your child is young, you can start a memory book now and add to it as he or she grows up.  Events – Weddings, birthdays, bar/bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, graduations, and anniversaries are all popular choices when making a memory book. Holidays, like Christmas or Valentine's Day, are also common themes. If the event or special day happens annually, you can add a new page or chapter each year.  Vacations – Use your memory book to relive a fun vacation or share it with others. This is an especially good idea if you went to an exotic location and took a lot of pictures. You can also include things like your plane ticket stubs or even a pressed flower you brought home with you. If this is an annual family vacation, consider adding a new chapter each year. You can put every chapter in the same book or a different one per year.  More specific combinations – This option is especially popular for parents making a book of their child or children. They can be about one specific event, such as "Duane & Derrick's First Halloween," or one that covers a longer period of time, such as "Melissa's First Year of School" or "Becky's Birthdays from Six Through Ten." There aren't many rules for what you can include in a memory book.

Whether you're shopping for new plugs, you just bought new plugs that you want to check before installing, or you want to check the function of your current set of spark plugs, you need to learn the appropriate gap between the two electrodes on the end of each plug.  Each vehicle's measurement will be different, though most are generally somewhere between 0.028-.06 inch. You can either look in your owner's manual or go to the auto parts store and have them look it up for you. Modified engines require smaller gap settings to account for the amount of power you're putting through the engine. General rule of thumb: the more power, the smaller the gap. There are several varieties of tools used to measure the gaps of spark plugs, some of which are more appropriate for more modern plugs, which sometimes feature delicate precious metals. Most measuring tools will also feature a flat edge typically used for bending the bottom electrode on the spark plug to adjust the gap slightly.  A coin-style gap measure is usually the cheapest option, and works by running the edge of the "coin" through the gap until you reach a point where it stops. The edge is marked like a ruler, designating the thickness of the edge at that point. This is a good tool for older plugs you want to check the efficacy of, but can also inadvertently widen the gaps as you use it. A wire coin gap works essentially the same way as the regular coin-style gap, but features different wire measures of varying lengths on the edge around the coin. A blade-style feeler gauge is an effective and versatile tool. Built like a pocket-knife, this gauge features different blades of varying widths, some with wire on the end and some without, placed in the gap to check the spacing of the electrodes. You can also use multiple blades to measure larger gaps. These are effective to use while adjusting. . If you've just pulled it out of the box, it should be in pretty good shape, but if you're checking a plug that you've been using in your car it's a good idea to clean it...

Whether you're sitting down or standing up, there's usually a chance to position yourself in such a way to hide what's going on down there.   Standing up: Try not to face to the side of anyone. A bulge in the crotch region is a lot less noticeable if you're facing someone head on than it is from the side.  Sitting down: Try casually crossing your legs. When men cross their legs, the pant material in the crotch region usually gets bunched up, offering cover to your mischievous main vain. Putting your hands in your pockets is a perfectly natural gesture, making this very popular. Put both of your hands in your pockets so as not to arouse suspicion, and gently hold the erection close to your body, trying not to move so as to tame your member into timidity. Maybe you have no pockets in your pants (although men should always have pockets in their pants), or it's impossible to reposition yourself. In this case, look for something to put over your crotch region to hide your excitement. Try covering yourself with:  A book or a magazine. Pretend to lose yourself in an interesting article (just make sure you don't pick up Cosmo or you could blow your cover) and place the book or magazine over your lap.  A table. If you're sitting down, casually move your seat up as close as possible to the table. A piece of clothing. If you've got a jacket or sweater, pretend to look for something in the jacket pocket, and then casually leave it in your lap. Basically, tuck your erection under your belt, from inside your pockets, using your hands. Warning: Only the most experienced tuckers can do this maneuver while facing a group of people. It's much better to find an excuse to be alone, or turn away from the group, and quickly do the tuck while no one can see. Tuckers with longer penises should make sure their upper garments are both opaque and securely occluding the entire glans. Again, this is only for the most experienced men, as creating a poor distraction could actually focus the attention on you, with potentially disastrous...

Whether you're spraying, painting, or dipping the pinecones in a sealing product, you'll want to cover your counter or table with newspaper. If you're using a spray sealer, it's even better to work outside. Once you have your space set up, go ahead with your chosen sealing method. Choose a non-yellowing spray varnish. Lay the pinecones on their sides, then spray them using an even coat. Wait for the pinecones to dry for 10 minutes before rotating them and spraying the other side. Let the sealer dry for at least a half hour before applying another coat.  Spray sealers come in many different finishes: matte, satin, and glossy. Choose the one that you like the best. The matte usually offers the most natural look, though. If you don't have any spray varnish, you can try using hairspray instead. Purchase a marine varnish from a hardware or home improvement store. Put on a pair of disposable gloves and hold the pinecone by the tip. Use a cheap, disposable brush with stiff bristles to apply the varnish all over the pinecone, except for the bottom. Let the varnish dry for at least 30 minutes, then hold it by its sides, and coat the bottom and tip. Leave the pinecone to dry on its side.  You can apply more than one coat of marine varnish, but you have to let the previous coat dry fully. Alternatively, you can tie some thread to the top of the pinecone, then dip it into the varnish. Lift it out, and let the excess varnish drip off. Hang the pinecone by the string to dry. Wrap some string or thin wire around the top of a pinecone. Dip the pinecone into a can of paint or varnish. Lift the pinecone out, and hold it above the can for about a minute to let the excess paint/varnish drip back. Use the string or wire to hang the pinecone someplace where it can dry.  Place a newspaper or tray under the pinecone to catch any drips of paint or varnish. Keep in mind that this method may cause the pinecones to close up again.  If the paint or varnish is too thick, thin it with water. Use 4 parts paint or varnish to 1 part water....

Whether you're thanking a friend, colleague, or a near-stranger over the phone, it can be a bit trickier to thank someone over the phone because it's harder to communicate your true feelings without face-to-face contact. But thanking someone over the phone is easy if you pay attention to a few key points:  Speak clearly. Communicating over the phone can be tricky, so make sure you enunciate your words, speak slowly enough for the person to hear you, and that you aren't calling from a place that is loud or has bad reception. Give the person your undivided attention. Though it's tempting to multitask when you're on the phone, don't call the person while you're driving home, cleaning your apartment, or watering your plants. Tell yourself that the phone call should only take a few minutes and that if you're really grateful, then that person deserves your undivided attention. Call at a good time. Make sure you're making a call at a time when the recipient isn't likely to be busy and that you're not calling too early in the morning or too late in the evening. If you're calling a person who lives far away, make sure to account for the time difference. Have the right body language. Though it may sound silly to use body language over the phone, maintaining an open posture or gesturing with your hands can help you emphasize your true feelings. If you're calling when you're laying down or using your hands to make a sandwich, you won't be able to show the person how grateful you really are. Know your audience. If you're talking to a family member or a close friend, you can be open, honest, laugh, and be more free about how grateful you are. If you're calling to thank a potential employer for interviewing you, you should still give them your attention, speak clearly, and use proper body language, but you should also keep things short and sweet. Just because you're on the phone doesn't mean you are free to ramble and be chatty; if you're thanking someone for professional reasons, then keep things professional. Sometimes,...

Whether you're trying to write, paint, or solve a problem, prompts can get you thinking. Sometimes just moving past the blank page is the hardest step, and a prompt will at least get you moving. Prompts don't have to be written. They can be visual, such as a painting or photograph, or even auditory, such as a piece of music.  For instance, maybe you are trying to paint a picture of a depressing time in your life, but you're having trouble getting started. Putting on the right song could help you get in the mood. Another example is a writing prompt, where someone else sets up a scenario or a question that you write on, such as "You find yourself in a dark room with only one window. You have a pencil in your hand and no shoes. How did you get there?" You can find writing prompts in books on writing and on writing websites. Find prompts that involve the 5 senses. Each sense may make you think different feelings or memories. That is, you may often go through your day without really noticing the things around you. You drink your morning coffee without noticing its deep flavor or walk by your office's landscape without noticing the lilies. Try to be more aware of your surroundings. When you notice more, it can spark your imagination, giving you a new perspective. If you always do the same thing, you'll get stuck in a rut. However, just trying a new technique or looking at something from a different perspective can help unlock creativity. Sometimes all it takes is literally moving yourself around the room, such as looking at a project from the floor or from above it. Other times, you may need to take a different approach to encourage your imagination to start running, such as learning a new way to paint or a different way to sew a pattern. Another way to shake things up is to have different experiences. For instance, maybe go to the symphony if you've never been or try a new food. You never know what connections your brain is going to make. That is, instead of beating your head against the wall to get a...

Whether you're using a gas or charcoal grill, you'll want it nice and hot by the time you plan to start cooking. Use the directions below to get your grill to the perfect flank steak-grilling temperature:  For gas grills: Light one burner and set it to "high". Allow to sit for several minutes (with the grill's lid closed) before cooking. If possible, leave a second burner off so that there will be space to transfer the meat to for slow-cooking after the initial sear. For charcoal grills: Pour charcoal into the bottom of the grill until the entire bottom surface is covered. If possible, push all of the charcoal to one side so that one half of the grill has no charcoal under it. This portion of the grill will be used for slow cooking after the initial sear. Light the charcoal and allow to burn freely until the flames die down and the charcoal turns mostly grey. The grill surface should be quite hot; you should not be able to hold your hand near the grill for more than a second. When meat cooks on a grill, the characteristic black and brown "sear" that creates a crispy, delicious exterior can't begin to form until the moisture on the outer layer of the meat has evaporated. Since it takes a great deal of energy to evaporate water, grilling meat that's soaking wet is not only an inefficient use of the grill's heat, but also a bad idea for those looking to cook a crispy browned steak. To eliminate the moisture from the surface of the meat, use a dry paper towel to pat it down until it's slightly damp, but not dripping. If you used a dry rub, you may not need to perform this step, as the powdered ingredients will likely have soaked up much of the moisture already and patting with a paper towel can cause the rub to come unstuck from the meat. When your grill is nice and hot, carefully use a grill brush to paint the metal bars with olive oil or vegetable oil above the burner or charcoal. Then, transfer your flank steak to the grill directly onto the spot you just applied oil to. You should hear a noticeable sizzling...

Whether you're using a new glass or one of your old favorites, it can accrue a layer of dust or dirt just sitting in storage. Make sure it's sparkly clean -- run it under soapy water and rinse it well. Allow it to adequately dry. You don't want to paint on glass that's streaky or wet. Remove any oil, dirt, soap film, or fingerprints that will mess up your paint work.  Let the glass sit to dry for about 7-10 minutes after rubbing. If you don't have rubbing alcohol, use white vinegar; it has similar cleaning properties. You want a solid 3/4" (2 cm) of your rim to be paint free. As some paint is toxic, it's important not to paint on any surface that could reach your mouth. What's more, the paint will be more likely to deteriorate if it meets drink or your lips. Make sure the tape is even. If it's not perfect, it's super easy to adjust. Use masking or painter's tape for best results.

Whether you're using a tall glass or a classic metal cup, popping it in the freezer for a few minutes will keep your milkshake frosty as you sip it. There's no need to stand around – get started on the milkshake while you wait. Using ice cream straight from the freezer can make your milkshake taste dilute, thin, or icy. You'll have much better results if you leave the ice cream out on the counter for about ten minutes, until it's soft and just beginning to melt around the edges.  On a hot day, put the ice cream in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes instead. Heating the ice cream too fast can ruin the texture. This gentle method is best. Skip this step if using frozen yogurt. Add 2  large scoops of the softened ice cream or frozen yogurt to a blender or milkshake maker. Use a large stainless steel bowl instead if you don't have a blender. Add ¼ cup (60 mL) milk for a thick milkshake, or up to a full cup (240 mL) if you prefer a thinner drink. Add ½ cup Chocolate Nesquik powder.  Whole milk makes a richer shake, while low fat or skim milk is a healthier option. For an extremely rich milkshake, also blend in 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) heavy whipping cream. Crushed ice will dilute your milkshake's flavor. Use extra milk instead to thin the shake, and pop the milkshake in the freezer for a few minutes if it's too runny. If you like a thicker shake consistency, start out with 1/4 cup of milk and add more until you are satisfied with the texture. This is easiest with a blender, milkshake maker, or stick blender, on a low setting. If you don't have one of these, burn off some calories in advance with a sturdy whisk. Semi-frozen ice cream is easiest to blend with a series of short pulses, or with a sturdy fork instead of a whisk. If it still won't blend, mash it against the sides with a rubber spatula or flat spoon and try again. Taste before you pour it into the glass, so you have the option to blend in more milk (thinner) or more ice cream (thickener). Serve with a spoon or thick straw and enjoy immediately.

Whether you're writing on paper or a computer, you should first define a problem, write down your options, and then list the pros and cons for each option. Seeing your thoughts in front of you will also help you stop cycling through them in your head. Once you can't think of anything more to write, your mind has done its job, and it's time to stop thinking. If making a list still doesn't help you make a decision, don't be afraid to follow your intuition. If two or more options seem equally appealing, thinking more will not make things clearer. This is when you should listen to something deeper. Instead of lingering over your most persistent thoughts, jot down all of the things on your mind every day. At the end of one week, go over what you've written and make a note of the things that are troubling you the most. You need to deal with those first. Try to write in your diary at least a few times a week. This will help you get used to the idea of a "thinking time" and will help you sit down with your thoughts, instead of having them trouble you throughout the day. Make a list of all the things you have to do on a certain day. Unless "brooding" is on your list of priorities, this will force you to see that you have more important things to do than to sit around pondering the meaning of the universe! The quickest way to organize your thoughts is to put them into something actionable. If you're thinking that you haven't gotten enough sleep lately, make a plan for getting some Z's pronto instead of worrying about it! The list can be practical and can deal with the bigger things, like: "spend more time with my family." This may sound crazy, but picking a time every day for yourself to worry, wonder, be dreamy, and to get lost in your thoughts can help you control your thoughts in a more productive manner. If you need to, give yourself an hour, say, from 5-6:00 every day. Then, try to get the time down to 5-5:30. If an upsetting thought comes up earlier in the day when it's inconvenient to deal with it, just tell...

Whether you've been married for two years or twenty years, it can easily feel like you and your partner have fallen into a rut. Routines form because they are convenient and they make it easier to navigate your day-to-day life, but falling into ruts and routines in your relationship can slowly kill the romance without you even realizing it.  If you usually eat in most nights, try going out for a date night. If you typically make your own separate meals, try cooking a meal for your partner and eating together. Do something exciting together that you and your spouse wouldn't normally do. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, but it should push you both to have fun and get excited together. Take a romantic vacation together, or just plan a fun and exciting day together - even if it just means going to a carnival or an amusement park. When you and your spouse were dating, you probably flirted with one another all the time. So why did you stop? Most couples get comfortable with one another, which is obviously a good thing. But the downside of getting comfortable is forgetting how to turn on the charm, often because you haven't had to in several months (or even years).  Make eye contact. Smile at your partner and act giggly. Use romantic body language, and mimic your partner's body language.  Stand facing one another, avoid crossing your arms, and lean in towards one another when you speak. Physical contact is an important component of intimacy. Physical contact makes you feel desired, and it can make you feel comfortable and closer with your partner. If you're already very intimate and have a lot of physical contact, then keep doing it. If you've lost that part of your relationship, make an effort to bring it back.  Physical contact doesn't just mean sex (although many people do consider sex a healthy part of marriage). It can mean holding hands, snuggling, embracing, kissing, or any other kind of affectionate contact. Your partner probably wants physical contact as much as you do, but may be too shy or worried...

Whether you've bought it brand new or you need to unpack everything inside, making your bag lighter often starts with removing everything and deciding what you really need. Take out and set aside any old work or garbage, and look through your books and other belongings to see what is truly necessary. One piece of paper is light, but thirty or forty pieces of paper are deceptively heavy. Old work piles up, whether it's kept in neatly in folders or just thrown in the back of your bag. Go through the papers and decide what you still need. File or save any old homework or tests that you'll need in the future, then throw the rest away. Receipts, fliers and other garbage tends to accumulate throughout a backpack over time. It gets stuffed in between important things and forgotten, adding to the weight of the bag over time. Go through your bag and remove any unnecessary clutter, throwing it away if it's truly unnecessary. You may have been carrying around old library books or project binders that you completely forgot about. These add a lot of weight to your bag that you don't really need. Try to take out books as soon as you're finished with them or no longer need them for class to help keep your bag's weight down. Carrying a week (or a month's) worth of supplies can add weight and make your bag extra heavy. Think about what you actually use on a daily basis: how much paper, how many pens, how much makeup, what kind of gym supplies. Remove extra or excess amounts of these items. You'll want your heaviest items, like textbooks, packed closer to your spine. The further out you pack them, the more they'll pull your spine in that direction, causing bad posture or even injury. The more you can distribute the weight throughout your backpack, the lighter your bag will seem. Since the weight won't just be resting in one spot, your body will be carrying the load more evenly. Try to utilize all of the compartments and zipped pouches, especially those on the sides and near your shoulders.

Whether you've just gotten your tattoo or have had it for longer than you'd like, using salt to remove a tattoo is a dangerous proposition. Here's why:  Your skin has effectively two layers — the dermis, or inner part of the skin, and the epidermis, or outer layer of your skin. When you get a tattoo, the ink travels past the epidermis, or superficial layer of skin, and into the dermis. Rubbing salt onto the epidermis is easy but useless. You need to get the salt into the dermis; even if you did manage to rub away the top layer of your skin to get at the ink, it's probably not going to end well. Rubbing your tattoo with salt will give you a pretty nasty road rash. It may also cause pigmentation of the skin, wrinkling, and possibly scarring. Know that doing this procedure at home can have significant adverse consequences, and may make your tattoo look even worse. Although there is a dermatological procedure that uses salt as a slight abrasive, there is probably one glaring reason why salt is thought to be a good tattoo eraser. When you get a tattoo, you're told not to submerge your tattoo in water, especially in salt water. If you're not supposed to soak your tattoo in salt water if you want to keep it, maybe you could soak your tattoo in salt water if you didn't? That's the reasoning at least. Soaking your tattoo in salt water, in fact, will only cause the ink to disperse, run, or possibly fade. It won't cause your tattoo to magically vanish. It's likely your tattoo will look worse after you soak it in salt water if your tattoo is newly inked. If you've had your tattoo for several weeks or longer, it's likely that submerging your tattoo in salt water will have no effect. Trying DIY salt abrasion, also called salabrasion, is probably not the best idea. As mentioned earlier, you're likely to hurt yourself and do more harm than good. But there are professional procedures out there that use salabrasion, and some of them can be promising.  According to a German study in the National Institute of Health database,...

Whether your best friend embraced your romantic feelings or rejected your advances, the two of you need to figure out where your friendship stands.  Set boundaries with one another moving forward, so that you’re on the same page. For instance, if she didn’t feel the same way, you might set a boundary that you no longer hang out with her alone. You might also choose to take a break from the friendship before deciding how to move forward. Although it may be hard to see, your best friend doesn’t have a monopoly on attractiveness, humor, compassion, or intelligence. There are plenty of others in your life that possess those positive traits, too.Make an effort to notice the good qualities in others. Bonus points: tell them about the good you see in them— it’ll make both of you happier.

Whether your body is swollen from an injury or poor circulation, it is best to allow the swollen area a bit of time to rest. If you have a swollen foot or ankle, try not to use it in a strenuous way for at least a few days, until the swelling goes down.  If you have an injured foot, consider using crutches or a cane to take the pressure off the swollen area. If you have a swollen arm caused by an injury, use the other arm to perform tasks, or ask for help from someone else. Any time you are sitting or lying down, prop up the swollen area on pillows, above the level of your heart. This prevents blood from collecting in the swollen area and aids in circulation.  Use a sling to keep your arm elevated if necessary. If the swelling is severe, make a point of sitting down and elevating the swollen body part for a few hours. High temperatures will make swelling worse, so do your swelling a favor by applying a cold compact. Avoid applying ice directly to the skin, but wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply to the swollen area. Do this for 15 minutes at a time, several times a day. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are medications that decrease pain and swelling. The most common variants are ibuprofen (common brands include Motrin/Actifen/Brufen/Advil) and naproxen (Aleve/Xanbid/Flexin). Note that acetaminophen(Tylenol/Panadol) is not an NSAID and will not reduce swelling. Talk to your doctor about what the best medication for your situation may be. Taking CBD oil can also help with pain and inflammation.

Whether your relationship is just starting out or you’ve been together a while, it’s always important to talk to each other. Get to know one another through conversation. Ask about their day, or what’s on their mind. Tell them about what’s bothering you and confide in them. The most basic communication is necessary and effective in strengthening your bond with your partner. If you feel like there’s distance between you and your partner, let them know. Talking to them about how you’re feeling can help bridge the gap. Say something like, “I feel like we aren’t as close as we used to be. What can we do to fix this?” Even if you feel like you already know everything about your partner, there is always more to learn. Ask them about their dreams, goals, and ideas. Listen intently and respond thoughtfully. Ask them how they feel about your relationship, and if they think there is any area that could use some work. By asking them meaningful, important questions, you will not only show them you care enough to learn more about them and their thoughts, but you will also be working on strengthening your relationship. Some other questions you might consider are: what traits do you value most in a partner? When was the last time you felt really disappointed? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? What’s something that always makes you happy? It’s important to talk about your everyday lives with one another, but it’s also important to go deeper than that in your conversations. Try to set aside time each day to have a real, meaningful conversation with your partner. Maybe there is something on your mind that you need to discuss, or maybe your partner has been under some stress at work and might want to unload. Keep that space open for real conversation, and make it a point to engage with one another on that level as often as possible. Try talking about your feelings, either for one another or in general. Having emotional discussions can lead to a sense of vulnerability and trust, which can bring you closer together....

Whether your spouse stays faithful in the future is entirely up to them. No matter how carefully you check up on them, if your spouse wants to cheat again, they will find a way. Likewise, if they are committed to fixing their mistake, you won't have to try to control them. Remind yourself that you have proven through this process that you can take care of yourself and survive no matter what happens. Sit down with your spouse and think about what you want your relationship to look like in the future. Make some step-by-step plans for turning your goals into reality. Working towards a common target puts you and your spouse on the same team, helping you to rebuild camaraderie and trust. It's valid for you to request access to your spouse's phone and online activity after they cheat on you. However, they still have a right to privacy. Talk with your spouse about how you will balance privacy and accountability in the future. If your spouse remains secretive about their online or phone activity, consider whether they are really committed to helping you trust them again. No one is a mind reader, and it's easy to imagine problems where there are none. Focus on the facts. Don't let yourself get caught up in fears that your spouse is planning to cheat on you again unless there's a concrete reason.  Do a reality check with yourself when your imagination runs away with you. Stop and ask yourself, “Why am I thinking this? Is there a more likely explanation?” Also, remind yourself that if they are cheating, then they will likely mess up and get caught again. You don't have to constantly be on the lookout, so allow yourself to let go of this responsibility.

Whether your teen is struggling with feeling anxious or has an anxiety disorder, establishing a safe place for your teen to confide in you will help you help your teen cope with anxiety. Your teen should know you're there for him or her at all times. Let your teen know that you're always available to talk and will support him or her unconditionally.  Teenage years are a time when many children seek independence. Teens may feel alienated and pressured if you ask a lot of questions about their mood or social life. Try to provide support without pressuring your teen to share information with you he or she wants to keep private. Refrain from interrogating your teen. Instead of asking about what is bothering him or her, say something like, "If you need to talk to me about anything, I'm always here to listen." Allow your teen to open up to you at his or her own will. Your teen may shut you out at first. Anxiety and feelings of sadness and stress are hard to talk about at any age. However, be persistent and let your teen know that you love him or her and that you really want to help.  For example, you might say something like, "I understand that this is difficult to talk about, but I love you and I want to help." Having a process for making decisions may help your teen to deal with anxiety by making tough decisions seem more manageable. Work through problems with your tee to help him or her develop and improve problem solving skills.  Help your teen work through problems by teaching them about the problem-solving process. There are different versions of the process, but they generally boil down to the following six steps:  Identify the problem. List the options and possible outcomes of each. (Both positive and negative outcomes, including potential effects on others.) Compare the options. Choose the best option. Make a plan to follow through with the option.

Whether you’re a beard-styling expert or this is you're first time growing a beard, your face is your canvas - start fresh. Have a clean shave and then wait a week for your hair to even out. Your face is ready for the Van Dyke when your stubble has grown out to about ¼ inch.  For some people it may take more than a week for the hair to grow back in. If you’re patient, you’ll be rewarded with a better-looking Van Dyke. If you’re reluctant to start from scratch, you can create the Van Dyke from facial hair that already exists. However, it’s much more difficult to control the final outcome when you aren’t working with fresh hair. Go ahead and apply it all over your chin, above your lip, and up to your sideburns. Begin by shaving your sideburns and cheeks. Start near your ears and remove your sideburns, as well as most of the hair on your cheeks, leaving approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) to both sides of your mouth. Shave the hair from the bottom and sides of your neck, stopping just above your Adam’s apple. Leave your moustache and soul patch intact. The end result is what’s called a “circle beard,” a still common style that was popular in the 1990s. Wash away any excess hair or shaving cream. The precision work is about to begin, and you need to be able to see what you’re doing. At this point, it’s helpful to use just enough shaving cream to guide your razor, without covering up all your hair. Carefully trim the hair from your neck until you are left with a small, neat beard, resembling a goatee. Scissors or an electric razor will help you control the overall shape and definition of your chin hairs. Classically, the Van Dyke beard is somewhat pointed; wax will help your hair retain its shape. Leave the skin around your soul patch (if you grow one) completely smooth. Measure twice, cut once, as a single errant swipe could force you to start all over again. Like the chin beard, the classic Van Dyke mustache is pointed and very neat. Make sure you didn’t miss any visible hairs. Run your hand over your cheeks and...

Whether you’re attacking for a spike or defending with a block, the correct footwork will maximize the height of your jump. Your footwork will depend on your dominant hand. If you are going up to spike the ball, plant your second foot facing sideways and take off facing parallel to the net. Making your last two steps fast and explosive will significantly help your vertical leap.  Use 3 steps to explode into your jump to improve your accuracy. For right-handed players, use a left, right, left, jump technique. Your spike approach should include one big step and one small step to bring your trailing foot in line with your leading one. The height you get on each jump partly comes from the timing of your arms. Accelerate your arm swing as you bring your second foot forward - remember, you're not swinging forward, you're swinging up. The combination of planting your second foot a little bit in front of your first and then swinging your arms upwards will stop your forward momentum and transfer it to upwards momentum. A quick, aggressive approach with your arms swinging completely back and up will drive your body into the air.  Move your arms in the direction that you want to go. Force your arms downward as you squat to initiate your base. As you explode into your jump, reverse the direction of your arms and push them above your head as fast as you can. As you reach the apex of your jump, your hands and body will have uncoiled into the highest point of your jump. If you are following the left, right, left, jump technique, throw your hands back and turn your palms to the ceiling on the right step. While you are in the air, come through with your non-dominant hand. The hand you're hitting with will usually be the dominant hand. As you advance in the sport, adjust your footwork and coordination for different attacking and defending positioning. Turning your body to hit the ball will allow you to engage your core when you spike creating greater force upon impact. By using your whole body this way, you will be able to hit...

Whether you’re interested in a serious romance or a more casual fling, let them know what you want in no uncertain terms. Although Scorpios are eager to meet their soulmate, they will often accept chemistry as they find it, whether it be with a longterm partner or a friend with benefits. Avoid confusion and hurt feelings by asking them exactly what they’re seeking from you and by stating your own expectations. " If they seem to lose interest after the first date or two (or fail to respond to your signals to begin with), they may have genuinely lost interest, or they may be so interested that they’ve backed off to rethink their strategy, especially if you’re already friends with a risk of losing you altogether if things don’t work out. If it’s the former, accept it, because there’s not much you can do to change their mind. If it’s the latter, assure them that you really do want to move forward. Scorpios are prone to mood swings, so brace yourself. When something’s wrong, expect them to fly off the handle one minute and freeze you out the next. Stay calm and collected, because what they need is someone who’s more grounded. Avoid mirroring their behavior and making things worse. When they shut you out, gently probe for the reason why. Scorpios expect such a strong connection between the two of you, they think you should be able to figure out what’s wrong on your own. If you have no idea what’s up, ask them what’s wrong. The longer you let silences grow, the more they might resent your inability to suss out what’s wrong on top of whatever was bothering them in the first place. When they rage out, bite your tongue. You don’t have to accept what they say or let them win the fight, but ensure that you’ll be heard by remaining calm. Avoid being drawn into a screaming match and escalating the situation. Let them get it all out, and then reply with calm, measured responses. Scorpios love to be in control and tend to be jealous and possessive. If this causes them to cross a line, call them out on it. The best ones may...

Whether you’re introducing yourself to a cute barista or just meeting some new interesting people at a coffee shop, the key to being fun is being up for whatever a new person has to say. This is the only way to open up yourself to new people and experiences and to have even more fun in the process.  Even if the person is completely different from you, you should have fun and embrace those differences instead of just staying in your comfort zone. Every person has something to teach you and the more people you know, the more knowledge you can gain. Don’t ever look at a new person as not a worthy investment or a waste of your time. Just say hi, introduce yourself, and ask the person a question or two about himself. You can keep the tone lighthearted as you get to know the person better. Be on the lookout for fun new activities in the place where you live, whether it’s a bocce tournament, a folk singing competition, or a vegan food festival. Search for new opportunities in new part of your town you haven’t seen before and invite your friends to join you, seeing it all as a new adventure.  If the event makes you feel completely out of your comfort zone, whether it’s a pig roast or a poetry slam, then all the better. Think of all of the new and exciting people you can meet when you try something that feels completely different to you. Encourage your friends to be adventurous with you. Let them know that it’s fun to try something new. Whether you try to learn a new language or run a 5K, trying to push yourself to try new and exciting things will make you a more fun person. The more things you know how to do, the more dynamic of a person you’ll be, which means the more experiences you’ll have to share with the people around you.

Whether you’re meeting her for the first time or you don’t know her well, but you have mutual friends, just be friendly and sure of yourself.  A simple “It’s very nice to meet you.” is a great opener in this situation. Remember that in this situation she’s in the same place as you. So don’t feel like you need to one-up her (or anyone else there) or act like someone you aren’t. Just be yourself. Remember that you don’t know this girl very well or at all, so reading her body language can give you a good indication of her comfort level. Trying to embrace her with a hug may be too forward if you two aren't close.  You can offer to shake her hand if she seems open to it, or even just give a friendly wave. Be polite. Like the saying goes, “You catch more flies with honey.” In this scenario you're probably making a first or second impression. Trying to show off or joking with her like you might a good friend could offend her. Don’t overdo it though by smiling too big or being too enthusiastic. Acting too eager to meet her or greet her could make her uncomfortable and make you look like you’re coming on too strong. If you’re greeting her in a group of friends, hopefully your friends will properly introduce you, but if you're not introduced, politely ask her name and offer yours.  When you learn her name repeat it back to her when you tell her yours. Making eye contact and using her name can also help you to remember it better. There’s a reason that people are drawn to comedians and funny people, as laughter can be comforting. When you greet a girl you may not know all that well, some humor will show her that you’re comfortable with yourself (even if you’re nervous) and not a rude person.  Using humor is a great approach when greeting a girl because it can ease any tension. If you’re shy or nervous you can use a little bit of self-deprecating humor to break any tension and make her feel more comfortable around you. Joke about your appearance or the situation. "I'm glad [name of mutual friend] dragged me to this, I had...

Whether you’re picking your date up or taking separate cars, make sure to arrive at the time you agreed upon. If possible, show up a couple of minutes early. Though being tardy by a minute or 2 will not make a huge difference, anything more will start your date off on the wrong foot. If you think you will be late for reasons outside of your control, such as slow traffic, let your date know via text message. To make a good first impression, be kind to your date and everybody else you interact with. Do your best to stay positive throughout the night and, if you get angry or sad, do your best not to show it. Avoid saying anything cruel even if you mean it as a joke since it will make you appear rude and unkind.  You don’t have to follow a specific set of etiquette rules, just avoid doing things that make you look mean. If you’re at a restaurant, make sure to use good table manners when eating. To avoid coming off as callous, be polite to your server and leave a generous tip. If you’re going to a place that serves alcohol, don’t drink more than you can handle. Getting drunk is the easiest way to ensure your date never calls back. A first date is all about getting to know each other, so try to be as open and honest as possible. Putting on a face will only lead to further problems down the road, so use your conversations as a way to show your date who you really are.  Though you shouldn’t try to be someone you’re not, save sensitive subjects like your sexual desires, previous relationships, and personal struggles for a later time. Though most people consider religious and political topics off-limits, they may be worth bringing up if you think it could be a problem down the road. To see if you truly click with your date, try asking them questions about the thing they care about most: themselves. Not only will this teach you more about who they are, but it will keep you from coming off as self-centered. Make sure to actually listen to what they say and respond appropriately. Some good things to ask about include: ...

Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family reunion or a simple barbecue, you’ll want your lanterns to fit with a theme. White lanterns work well for weddings, while bright colors will brighten up a summer party. Search online for the perfect kind to fit your theme.  Pick a holiday-specific color scheme. Christmas events generally feature red and green, while Easter parties use pastel colors like light pink, light purple and light yellow. Look for event-specific lanterns. Some paper lanterns have printed patterns specifically for holidays, like Menorahs for Hanukkah, hearts for Valentines day, or pumpkins for Halloween. If you're having a party to celebrate a game day, use colors from the sports team your group favors. Parties can be held in a variety of different venues: tents, picnic shelters, even boats. You’ll need to find fasteners that work for your situation, and most importantly, they’ll have to be easy to remove. Think about using adhesive hooks, or try tying your lanterns directly to rafters or tent supports. Decide the placement of the lanterns and the heights at which they’ll hang. Look online for ideas to match the setup that you are planning for. Sites like Pinterest have many example photos to help your creativity along. Consider hanging them high up above your guests’ heads where they won’t be in anyone’s way.  Tie lanterns across beams or supports. If your event setting has a shelter or tent, hang lanterns across the supports to create a large canopy of lights. Tie lanterns in bunches. Bunched lanterns hanging at different heights create great focal points at your party. Choose a point on a beam or support and tie five to ten lanterns in the same area, all at different heights. Try mixing the sizes of the lanterns to make your bunch even more eclectic feeling. Light a path with lanterns. Hang the paper lanterns low to the ground on short poles to create a cool effect. Use poles made for hanging potted plants, or make your own small poles with hooks. Then place the poles along a path or...

Whether you’re taking prescription medication or wanting to combine over-the-counter cold and flu remedies, consult a pharmacist or health professional to avoid any negative reactions. For example, if you’re taking antidepressants, sleeping pills, or anti-anxiety drugs, avoid over-the-counter medications containing antihistamines that make you sleepy. The combination can have harmful side effects and can also be lethal in some cases. Not all over-the-counter medications will help you sleep better. Also, many sleep medications and pain killers help you fall asleep but reduce the quality of your sleep. Avoid cold and flu medications that contain pseudoephedrine or ephedrine.  If you have to take these medications, take them 2 or 3 hours before you plan on going to sleep. Take these decongestants when you know you will be awake and medicines that have drowsiness-causing painkillers or antihistamines when you want to sleep. While nasal sprays can decongest your nose for 8 hours or more, they may also contain stimulants that make it difficult for you to sleep.  Look for nasal sprays with oxymetazoline or xylometazoline to best open the breathing passage in your nose. Oxymetazoline and xylometazoline are not stimulants so they won't keep you up at night. Nose strips mechanically open up the nasal passages, so thus they have no stimulating effect as well. While your appetite may decrease, ensure you don’t get dehydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. High-calorie drinks, like hot chocolate or Ovaltine, can signal our bodies to go into sleep mode. Research has shown that a hot cordial can aid in many cold and flu symptoms like sneezing and coughing. Get rid of distractions like a tv, computer, or other electronic devices. Also, regulate a comfortable temperature as keeping your room cool will aid with sleeping. Dry-humidifiers and vaporizers may help with your breathing while keeping the atmosphere of your room conducive to sleeping.

Whether you’re writing the next Great American Novel or a scientific journal article, becoming familiar with examples of excellent writing in your genre will help you improve your own writing. Read and understand the works of great and influential writers to learn what is possible with the written word and what readers respond to best. By immersing yourself in works by good writers, you will expand your vocabulary, build knowledge, and feed your imagination.  Look for different ways of organizing a piece of writing or presenting a narrative. Try comparing different author's approaches to the same subject to see how they are alike and how they differ. For example, Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilych, and Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Remember that even if you’re writing nonfiction or academic writing, reading examples of great writing will improve your own. The more familiar you are with the many ways it’s possible to communicate ideas, the more varied and original your own writing can become. You might not realize it, but books, movies and other media are filled with references and homages to great literature. By reading some classics, you will build a body of cultural knowledge that will better inform your own writing. It's possible to read a novel like The Catcher in the Rye and not "get it" or see its value immediately. If this happens, try reading an essay or two about the piece to learn why it was so influential and effective. You may discover layers of meaning that you missed. Understanding what makes great writing great is one of the best ways to grow your own skills. This applies for nonfiction and academic writing too. Take some examples of work by well-respected authors in your field and take them apart. What do they have in common? How do they work? What are they doing that you could do yourself? Plays were written to be performed. If you find that you just don’t “get” a work of literature, find a performance of it. If you can’t find a performance, read the work aloud.

Whether you’ve dropped your phone in the toilet, bathtub, or a lake, the first step is to get it out of the water ASAP. The longer you leave your phone in the water, the more water damage it will absorb. Leaving the phone in water for a longer period of time will allow water to soak into and saturate more of the interior electrical components. Before you take any steps to dry off the outside surfaces of the phone, pull out the electrical components. Open the phone case and pull out the battery and the SIM card. If you’ve inserted a micro SD card into your phone, pull that out as well. The interior components are crucial to the phone’s functions. If they get saturated with water, the phone won’t work. Blowing on the electrical parts of your phone will remove the majority of water from them. Wiping the phone parts down with a clean, dry towel will remove any remaining moisture on the parts’ surface. You should only rely on drying agents to remove residual moisture that’s worked its way into the components of your phone. Instead of blowing on the phone components, you could also shake them rapidly back and forth through the air. Be careful not to inadvertently throw your battery across the room, though.

Whether you’ve experienced nightmares that have been waking you up at night or overall insomnia, a disrupted sleeping pattern can signal stress and a feeling of anxiety. Monitor your sleep in the last six weeks. Have you noticed a difference? Do you sleep significantly less?  Use sleeping pills with caution. Their usefulness is debated and there are accidental deaths linked to them. Never use them without talking to your doctor. There are several reasons for which you might not sleep. Make sure your mattress is good and your bedroom dark. You should also talk about your sleeping problems with your doctor. You might be suffering from a condition such as sleep apnea. You don’t deal with stress as well as you used to and you feel more fragile. Each deadline is a source of major anxiety and you don’t know how to cope anymore. If you notice a negative evolution in your stress tolerance, it's probably time to act.  A lower tolerance to stress than usual is usually a sign of exhaustion or burnout.  Don’t feel guilty and don’t lose faith in your ability to work if you’re more stressed than usual. We all have ups and downs. If you work in an abusive environment where the boss is using stress as a tool to increase productivity, a day off will not help. You should talk to your trade-union or HR and see if the law is on your side. Those who know you the best, your family and friends, will probably notice if you're in desperate need for a break. Talk with them about your stress and ask them for their opinion. If you have a strong relationship, they will give you the best advice. Remember that communication is fundamental in a relationship. If you have been fighting with your partner recently, explain that you feel pressurised at work and are struggling. Let your partner express his/her feelings too.

Whether you’ve hired someone to model for you or you’re photographing a family member, think ahead about what you’d like your model to wear. Is this a dressy shoot, or a casual one? Keep in mind that people look best in pictures when they’re comfortable in what they’re wearing.  Consider asking your model to be ready to change into several different outfits. If you’re taking graduation photos of your daughter, for example, you may want to have pictures of her wearing her graduation dress, her favorite outfit, and her basketball uniform. Gather props to go with the different looks. Hair and makeup are also important components when it comes to creating a professional effect. Remember makeup doesn’t show up as well in photos as it does in person, so you may want your model to wear a brighter shade of lipstick or a tad more eyeliner than normal.

Which constellations you can see depends on your latitude and season. A star chart can tell you what you can find. Look for one that is designed for your location and time of year.  Some common constellations found near the Milky Way include Sagittarius, Alpha Centauri, Cygnus, and the Magellanic Clouds. You can buy a star chart at a planetarium, science museum, or online. You  can also get apps, like Stellarium or SkyGuide, that will download star charts to your phone automatically. Find the Milky Way with your naked eye first and point the lens towards it. Then look through the viewer to see individual stars and galaxies up close. Any size of binoculars or telescope will work. With a higher magnification or aperture, you will be able to see more detail, but you can still pick out individual stars with a low magnification. with a digital camera. A photograph will capture the galaxy's magnificent colors and stars. To get a good picture, change the settings in your camera to a long exposure. Attach the widest lens you have. For the best results, place the camera on a tripod. Point the lens so that you have the widest view of the sky as possible before taking the picture.  If you can, adjust the shutter speed based on the size of your lens. Divide 500 by the diameter of your lens. Use the result to set the shutter speed. For example, if your lens is 25mm, then you should set your shutter speed to 20 seconds. You may need to adjust the contrast later to get the best results.

Which one you choose all depends on time. If you're growing dragon fruit from seeds, it could be two years or so before your plant bears any fruit. If you grow from the cuttings of a stem, it could take much less time (depending on how large your cutting is).  Growing from seed isn't harder, for the record. It just takes more time. Professional growers sell dragon fruit plants that are ready to be transplanted to your garden. Just be careful as you're taking them out of the pot, to ensure that you don't damage the seedlings. Believe it or not, dragon fruit can grow just fine in containers. If you do use a container, use one that's 15" to a 24" in diameter, and at least 10"+ deep, fitted with a climbing pole. However, the plant will likely eventually grow to a point that it needs a bigger pot, so be prepared to transplant it when that happens.  If your plant is going to be outside (whether it's in a container or not), choose a place that's at least partly sunny. The roots can be in the shade, but the tips of the plant need to be in the sun to bloom.  If you live in a warm area with a long, warm growing season, this plant could sustain being outside. They can generally handle a very light frost, but that's it. If your area has a decent winter, bring it inside. After all, technically this plant is a cactus. The last thing you want to use is a wet, mucky soil. They are light feeders that don't need a lot of nutrient love. Plant them in an area of your garden where water doesn't tend to pool. If you get a lot of rainfall in your area, plant the dragon fruit plant on a hill or mound, so that the water drains away. If you're planting in a container, grab a large one with drainage holes at the bottom. If you don't have cactus soil available, you can come up with your own by using a mixture of sand, potting soil, and compost. Fill it up a few inches (7cm) away from the brim of the pot.

Whichever route you go, choose a small, innocuous area to test the method.  You don't need to test the ink-removal aspect of the method.  Just test the cleaning method to ensure that you will not damage or otherwise mark the surface you're hoping to clean. Don't rub too aggressively, as materials like cotton and baking soda have some abrasion potential and may damage some surfaces. Remember to clean the area from which you remove a stain with a water-dampened cloth or paper towel. Mix baking soda with water until you have enough spreadable paste to cover the ink-stained desk or table. Baking soda can be used on almost anything, including laminate, metal, plastic, wood, and glass.  Spread the paste thickly over the stain and rub it in with your fingertips or a toothbrush. Use a clean, damp cloth to gently scrub the are to remove the paste. Don't scrub too aggressively, as this may scratch the surface of various materials. Repeat the steps if necessary. Wipe the area clean with a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. Toothpaste with baking soda in it works especially well. Coat the area healthily and gently smooth the toothpaste over the surface of the stained area.  Wipe the toothpaste away with a water-dampened cloth. Wipe gently, so as not to scratch softer surfaces. If any toothpaste remains, wipe it away with a cotton ball moistened with rubbing alcohol. If the table or desk is wood, allow the paste to set for 10-15 minutes. For other surfaces, a shorter period of time will likely suffice. The cleaning strength of acetone is so well known it's used to remove nail polish!  It will likely readily remove your ink stain as well.  Place a cotton ball on the opening of a bottle of nail polish remover and shake gently to allow the cotton ball to absorb the liquid. Gently rub the ink stain until the ink is lifted. Take extra care when using acetone or nail polish remover.  Wear gloves and remember to test the surface for colorfastness. Acetone can be used to clean metal, glass, plastic, and even leather....

While "félicitations" works in a wide variety of situations, you may want something more specific occasionally.  "Good work/job" → "Bon travail!"  "Great success/Good Luck" (used interchangeably) → "Bonne réuissite."  Give my compliments to ____" → "Addressez tous mes compliments à ____" This is the same as saying "She congratulates you." Luckily, the translation is not too difficult. "Félicitations" means congratulations, and "féliciter" means "to congratulate." Remember that, in French, the subject of the person you congratulate must come before the verb, unlike in English. Thus:  "I want to congratulate you." → "Je veux vous féliciter." "The President congratulates him." → "Le Président le félicite." Add "pour" to make specific congratulations: "They congratulate you on the win" &rarr: "Ils vous félicitent pour le victoire." Just like in English, you can use some slang terms to tell someone you're proud of them. This gives you variety, instead of always saying "félicitations."  "Bravo!" much like in English, expresses awe at a job well done. "Chapeau," which translates to "hat" in English, is used in place of "hats off to you." It may, however, seem a little old-fashioned.
