If you catch someone's eye (guy or girl) and if you look at someone at the exact same instant they see you, smile. Just a small, modest kind of smile. The one that says "huh, we saw each other at the same time" not one that says "ooh eye contact! Awesome!" or "Are you checking me out". A half smile will do. Try not to show your teeth though. That is one thing that can be interpreted as a possible flirt move (if it's a guy) or an overly friendly move (if it's another girl). If someone makes a joke, laugh! Don't giggle. Don't smile. Jokes are meant to stimulate laughter. If it's a lame joke, laugh at its 'lameness'. Not only will this improve your mood and give you a bit of a confidence boost, the people around you will notice you more. This will require a bit of courage, but think about it, if none of your friends are into it, even if you do something stupid, they won't be there to laugh at you. You can join a club or a team. Make sure you are interested in what you pick though. The advantage of this is not only meeting new people, but meeting people you would have never met otherwise, and also a chance to be more confident. If none of the people you know are around, you can let yourself go a bit. Be slightly more vocal and outgoing. The other kids don't know you aren't usually like that. And you will even enjoy yourself more. Everyone needs to be a little unusual sometimes. Make sure you aren't doing a 180 degree personality change! If you find yourself alone with someone, make a comment or smile at them and introduce yourself. If you wait for other people to make the first move always, you will be the invisible girl until senior year. If you get nervous around guys, do this with girls. They might be cynical and even rude, but remember that it doesn't matter. You're improving yourself, not looking for a new best friend. Remember to not take any negative comment personally. Besides, what are they going to do anyway? Sue you for saying "hello" and smiling at them? It's ok if they ignore you. The idea is to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Начните улыбаться. Примите участие в том, в чем не задействованы ваши друзья. Инициируйте разговор. Осуществите смену имиджа, о которой мы говорили ранее. Не бойтесь смеяться над собой. Не будьте льстецом. Любите себя.


If you choose to remove your pubic hair, shaving is less painful that waxing and the most economical option. To ensure a comfortable shave:  Trim your pubic hair before shaving. Use scissors to cut your hairs as short as possible. This keeps hairs from snagging onto the razor and pulling at your skin. Choose a razor designed to shave pubic hair. Most razors will work fine but if you plan to shave in a delicate and hard to reach place like between your buttocks, a specialized razor can prevent nicks and cuts from happening. For example, some razors are equipped with a trimmer or are coated with a soothing lotion. Bathe or shower before shaving to open up your pores and soften coarse hairs. Typically, pubic hair is thicker than the hairs on our heads. Use shaving cream to help protect your skin while shaving. However, be careful not to put shaving cream onto your genital area as it can cause irritation and inflammation. Apply aloe vera or baby oil after shaving. Don’t use moisturizers with added dyes or fragrances. You can get waxed by a professional or do it at home. However, there is an element of pain that comes with pubic waxing. To relieve pain, take aspirin or ibuprofen 30 minutes before waxing. To ensure a comfortable waxing experience:  Wait until your pubic hair is about a quarter of an inch (1 cm) long before waxing. The wax will grab onto the hair follicle, making it easier to remove. Follow the instructions of at-home wax kits carefully. Some kits will have a pot or cup of wax for you to heat and apply, while others will have premade strips ready for you to use. Test the temperature of the hot wax before applying it to your pubic area. A burn down there can be extremely uncomfortable. Test the temperature by applying a bit of wax to the inside of your wrist. Wax needs to be hot enough for it to spread over your skin but not hot enough that it will burn it. Wear cotton underwear and clothing after waxing to allow your skin to breathe and avoid irritation. There are different looks and styles you can...

If you choose to start the path to recovery alone, bear in mind that alcohol withdrawal can potentially be deadly. If you start experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms (panic attacks, severe anxiety, the shakes, rapid heart beat) you should seek immediate  medical assistance. The condition could potentially deteriorate to delirium tremens, which is deadly, if left untreated.  Don't feel like you need to quit alone. You are carrying a heavy burden, but plenty of people (including people with medical degrees) want to help you. It's often easier to quit with the help of medical intervention than it is to try it cold turkey. Doctors treating withdrawal from alcohol often prescribe benzodiazepines to help with symptoms. Benzodiazepines, which include alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan), are psychoactive drugs used to calm anxiety and quell panic. They can be addictive on their own and can be fatal if taken with alcohol. For this reason, you should only take them for a short time while being monitored by your doctor. Remember, you're not being forced to give up a good friend who has treated you well. Instead, you are finally ridding yourself of an enemy. Adjust your attitude so that quitting is made easier. Your better half wants you to quit; your selfish half wants you to stay the same. Be ambitious, but reasonable. If you are very heavy drinker you must first slow down to avoid withdrawal symptoms (in this case it is best to have your doctor help you plan your quitting date). Don't feel that just because you are having guests over you need to offer them a beer, wine, or cocktail.  It is perfectly fine to offer people tea, lemonade, coke, or the like. Cry when you need to.  Laugh when you can.  Eat when you are hungry. Sleep when you are tired. This is going to be really weird at first, but embrace it.  You haven't felt your feelings for a long time.  You will have a learning curve. There's an old saying about "Playgrounds and Playmates" — look at yours. You may need...

If you cut into the bars before they are fully cooled, they will stick to each other. If you intend to eat them within two days, the bars can be covered and left to sit out at room temperature because of their low moisture content. The more sugar a bar contains, the safer it is to store it at room temperature because the sugar absorbs moisture and creates an environment that is hard for bacteria to thrive in. If they are going to be consumed over a longer period of time, you will need other options.  Vacuum seal individual bars to keep them at room temperature. The oxygen free environment reduces the chances that bacteria can grow. These can be kept in a cabinet for up to 5 days. Refrigerate the bars. This is the safest and best way to store them. In the fridge, the bars can last 7 to 10 days. Be wary of other foods in the fridge because the bars may have a tendency to pick up volatile flavors, like onion, which can ruin their taste. Freeze the bars. Bars can be frozen for an indefinite period of time without worry of microbiological contamination. However, the quality of the bars will degrade. It is best to freeze homemade snack bars for up to one month for optimum quality. Freezing will slowly dehydrate the bars, and, since they have so little moisture to begin with, too long in the freezer will cause them to crumble. Also, the moisture that comes out of the food can cause ice crystals on the surface of the food, which acts like a knife to the food breaking the texture.

If you decide to let your body hair grow, you might hear comments about how it’s “unsanitary” or “unhygienic.” This is simply not true. Body hair is normal and healthy, and may even protect your skin from damage. Remember that removing your hair is a personal choice that has nothing to do with your health or cleanliness. If someone tells you it’s unhygienic, say, “You probably don’t know this, but body hair is natural and healthy. There’s nothing dirty about a woman being hairy, just like it’s safe for men to be hairy.” Just as you should never feel pressured to remove your body hair, don’t feel like you can’t remove hair that bothers you. How much hair you have on your body is a personal choice, so it’s okay if you want to remove some of it. Do what makes you happy, and know you can change your mind at any time. For instance, you might decide to let all of your body hair grow, or you may decide to just shave your legs. Similarly, you might grow out your hair most of the year but remove it during the hotter months of the year. your face or body hair daily to control excess body hair. The easiest way to remove hair is to shave it. Apply a shaving cream or soap over the skin you plan to shave. Then, drag a razor over your skin to remove the hair. Go against the direction of your hair growth to remove it effectively. Then, rinse your skin to remove the shaving cream or soap. You may need to shave some areas twice a day if your face grows very fast. For instance, you may notice a 5 o’clock shadow that reappears in the evening. You may prefer to touch up visible areas. or wax hair to be hair-free for 1-3 weeks. Both plucking and waxing pull your hair out by the roots, so it takes longer for it to re-grow. Plucking is best for small areas, while waxing works well for any area on your body. Pluck facial hair and stray body hairs at home using a pair of tweezers. If you want to wax, use a waxing kit from your local drugstore or visit an esthetician.  Plucking works great when you have a few stray hairs, like facial...

Выщипывайте волосы или удаляйте их воском, чтобы забыть о депиляции на 1-3 недели. Воспользуйтесь кремом для удаления волос, чтобы избавиться от волос на 1-2 недели.

If you decide to pursue trade secret protection, you should carefully assess how many people other than you already know the secret, and figure out how many more will need to know it. The more people who know the secret, the more likely it is that one or more of them might disclose it to others. Also make sure that those who already have the secret information (and those you plan to give it to) know the importance of keeping the information secret. Allowing the public to use or add to your idea before you patent the invention may preclude you from getting a patent, if you eventually decide to go that route. It may also prevent you from claiming the idea is a trade secret. If your business involves a trade secret, you should require new employees who will have access to the secret information to sign a confidentiality agreement as part of their employment contract. An attorney can assist you with crafting the proper language. If you will need to disclose the trade secret information during discussions with other companies, you should require those companies to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before the disclosure. These contracts are standard in business, and while the other company may ask to negotiate the terms, few companies will refuse outright to sign them. NDAs tend to expire after a certain time period, so make sure you are comfortable with that. Again, an attorney can help you draft the NDA and may help you negotiate them with the other company.  If another company does refuse to sign an NDA, you should obtain another form of protection for your trade secret (such as a provisional patent application) before disclosing the information. Unfortunately, if you disclose the trade secret information without any protection in place, the other company can use that information, and may even apply for its own patent on that information. This includes both written documents and documents kept electronically. Keep written documents secured and limit the number of copies that may be made. Limit access to...

If you decide to start the cleome early, you should prepare to sow the seeds indoors between mid-February and late March.  Ideally, seeds started indoors should be sown roughly four to six weeks before you plan to transplant them outside. While cleome can be sown early indoors, many gardeners believe that the plants thrive best when sown outdoors. For best results, choose a seed starting soil mix instead of a standard garden mix. Loosely fill the containers with soil; do not pack it in. Plastic seedling trays are recommended, but you could also use small plastic cups, small plastic pots, or small ceramic pots. Regardless of the specifics, try to stick with a container that has a diameter or length no greater than 4 inches (10 cm). Make a shallow 1/4-inch (6-mm) indentation in the soil with your fingertip, the drop a seed inside. Sprinkle over the seed with a very light layer of soil.  If you are using small seedling trays, plant one seed per compartment. If you are planting the seeds in a slightly larger plant, make sure that the seeds are 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Place the sown seeds and their containers in large plastic bags, then transfer the bags to the refrigerator. Keep the seeds there for two weeks.  This part of the process, known as vernalization, takes advantage of the plant's natural ability to thrive when brought out of cold temperatures and into warm temperatures, and mimics the way this happens in nature. Only keep the seeds in the refrigerator, though. Do not use the freezer. Do not allow frost to form, and do not allow the soil to dry out. The seeds should be kept in a warm location with regular, daily access to direct sunlight.  The soil temperature should be kept between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21 and 25 degrees Celsius) during this time. Bottom sources of heat work best. Consider resting the containers on top of a heat mat designed for use with plants. If you cannot provide bottom heat, at least make sure that the seeds remain in a room that is continually kept warm. Usually, the seeds...

If you decided that Maria deserves to die, Aya will leave the room and go back to the corridor with sandbags.  In this part of the story, you will receive the third bad ending. Father will find Aya and kill her with the help of his dolls. A black screen will appear with a blood-curdling scream. In the next frame, you will see Aya sitting on the chair, wearing a beautiful dress, unmoving and lifeless. Aya's father has successfully turned Aya into a doll, a perfect princess with beauty that will last forever. This is the best and good ending in the game. Choose “Help Maria” then look for some bandage to take care of her injuries. Together, you and Maria will search for an escape, but the loud wail of a chainsaw will be heard from the distance.  Maria will ask you to leave her, but despite Aya's efforts in convincing Maria, the young girl leaves. In the chapel, the same thing will happen in the “Don't help Maria” decision. A doll will appear holding Aya to prevent her from running while the doctor holds the chainsaw over his head, ready to cut down his daughter. Before the chainsaw lands on Aya, however, knives pierce through the doctor's body. The man falls on his knees, and blood pools on the floor underneath him. Maria had made it and helps Aya. She even takes care of the doll with one swing of her knife. More scenes happen after this, including the appearance of Dio and how Maria and Aya escapes the mansion. In a later part of the game, it's shown that Aya had become a doctor and Maria remains by her side. There's a catch though; instead of becoming a better doctor than her father, Aya does the very same mistake—turning people into dolls. Maria quotes before the game ends. “Indeed, the mistress is much like you.”

If you detect any of the signs or symptoms of diabetes, schedule an appointment to see you doctor as soon as possible. Getting a timely diagnosis and treatment from your doctor can help you avoid serious and life-threatening complications.  Tell your doctor any symptoms you’ve experienced and for how long. Consider using the notes you made as a reference during your exam.  Make sure your doctor is aware of any risk factors you have, including a family history of diabetes.  Ask your doctor any questions you may have about diabetes or its treatment. Considering writing down questions before your appointment so that you don’t forget to ask during the appointment. If your doctor suspects that you have diabetes, she will order additional testing. There are different types of tests to diagnose types 1 and 2 diabetes as well as gestational diabetes. The following tests are used to diagnose diabetes:  A1c blood test, which is also known as a glycated hemoglobin test. This test shows your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months by showing how much blood sugar is attached to your hemoglobin. A level of 6.5 is considered diabetic.  Random blood sugar test, which examines your blood sugar at an unspecified time. A level of 200 milligrams per deciliter indicates diabetes.  Fasting blood sugar test, which is conducted after an overnight fast. If your blood sugar level is 126 milligrams per deciliter, it’s considered diabetic.  Oral glucose tolerance test, which requires overnight fasting and then drinking a sugary liquid the next morning. After this, your blood sugar levels will be tested over the next two hours. A reading of more than 200 milligrams per deciliter, it’s considered diabetes.  Initial glucose challenge test and follow-up glucose testing analyze the blood of pregnant women who have fasted and then consumed a sugary liquid. This usually occurs at 24–28 weeks of gestation.  If your blood sugar level readings are high for two of three readings, you’ll be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. In...

If you develop shin pain that won't go away after a few days, and none of the usual treatments work, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your legs and ask questions about your family history, diet, and lifestyle, and maybe even send you for a blood test (to check blood glucose levels among many other possible causes of lower leg issues, calcium imbalance, potassium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, etc., and rule out the possibility of diabetes). However, your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal or circulatory specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training.  Other types of healthcare professionals who could help diagnose and treat shin splints include osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists. Your family doctor may recommend anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin to help you deal with the pain and inflammation of shin splints. Shin splints are not considered a serious medical problem (although they can be quite painful and hinder walking), but there are some serious conditions that can mimic shin splints such as stress (hairline) fractures of the tibia, venous insufficiency (leaky vein valves of the lower leg), diabetic neuropathy, bone cancer, chronic compartment syndrome (swelling of the lower leg muscles) or popliteal artery entrapment. As such, a medical specialist may be needed to properly diagnose your condition, such as vascular surgeon or an orthopedist (musculoskeletal specialist).  Vascular ultrasound is a painless procedure that allows a doctor to assess the function of the veins and arteries of your lower leg. X-rays or bone scans of the lower legs can be used to rule out more serious medical conditions such as bone cancer or fractures. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Obviously, conditions such as diabetes, cancer, or venous...

If you do not have enough funnels for each jar, you can use the same funnel for all of them. Simply fill one jar before removing the funnel and using it to fill the next. Use a large ladle to make the process cleaner and easier. Fill the jars, leaving only 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) of headspace or empty space at the top of each jar. Stir in 2 Tbsp (60 ml) of lemon juice into each of the three quart-size jars of tomato sauce. Lemon juice is a strong natural preservative and will keep your tomato sauce from spoiling more effectively. Make sure that the lids are tightly secured, but avoid over-tightening them since doing so may cause the lids to pop off their tracks. Wipe away any excess tomato sauce with a clean, dry towel. Make sure that they are well positioned so that they do not slide around or strike against each other. Fill the canner with enough water to completely cover the jars with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Bring the water to a boil before you start the time. Alternatively, you can use a clean stockpot to boil the jars, as well. You may need to place a rack or a dish towel into the bottom of the pot to prevent the jars from sliding around, however. The amount of time you need to boil the jars for will vary depending on the altitude you live at.  Boil for 40 minutes if you are at an altitude of 1000 feet (304.8 m) or less. Boil for 45 minutes at an altitude between 1,000 feet (304.8 m) and 3000 feet (304.8 m and 914.4 m). Boil for 50 minutes at altitudes between 3000 and 6000 feet (914.4 m and 1.82 km). Boil for 55 minutes at altitudes above 6000 feet (1.82 km). Allow them to dry and cool in a draft-free area overnight. Do not let the jars touch as they cool. Press the center "button" on each lid. If it does not move, the jars are sealed. If it moves up and down or makes a popping sound, the jars have not sealed. You will need to reheat the contents of the jar before attempting to can them again.

If you do not have proof it is generally wise to avoid accusing the person of being an addict. This is because some psychological disorders have similar signs. Instead, if the person has not done anything specifically wrong, continue to monitor the person’s work. If you are a fellow employee and strongly suspect someone of abusing drugs, consider bringing the subject up with your boss, without accusing the person directly or explicitly. Your boss will then be able to begin monitoring the person’s work. Keep a written record of your observations, including dates and times. If possible, try to have a witness for each observation that you list (such as someone else who was in the room when the suspected person began irrationally yelling at a co worker for something that the suspected person had actually done). Be attuned to the person’s odor, whether his or her eyes are glassy, speech issues, and whether they appear drowsy. If you think a person may be under the influence of drugs, but you are not sure, get another supervisor as your witness, take the employee aside, and tell the person to go home. Do not allow him to drive if you can avoid it. Then: Talk to the person the next day and ask them to explain their behavior. There may be a reason other than substance abuse that was causing the person to act the way that they did the previous day. If they can give no viable reason, go over the company's policies again and urge the person to seek help. If the person comes clean and confesses to abusing drugs (which is unlikely but possible), help the person to get the support that they need. Try to help them learn more about the resources available to them. Many companies offer educational materials and other resources to employees that are struggling with substance abuse. Create a list of treatment plans or facilities, as well as some support groups in the area. If you are the one that will meet with the person, do so with an observer to help keep the situation under control. A substance abuser may act irrationally...

If you don't already have it, the Facebook app is free for iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. This icon will open your "More" menu; it should be at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. This will take you to your profile. Tapping "Edit" gives you three choices: "Upload Photo", which allows you to upload a photo from your camera roll, "View Cover Photo", which displays your cover photo, and "Select Photo on Facebook", which allows you to upload an existing Facebook photo as your cover photo. This will take you to your camera roll, from which you can select a photo for your cover.  If the Facebook app doesn't have access to your camera roll, it will prompt you to allow it access here. You can also tap "Select Photo on Facebook", which will prompt you to choose between "Photos of You"--photos people have tagged you in--and your uploaded "Albums".  You can also zoom in on your photo to enlarge it. You have now successfully changed your cover photo!

If you don't already know the number for where you need to call, you will need to find the number, either on a website, in a book, or from a family member or friend that you are trying to call. The area codes are 2-5 digits long. A phone number without the area code is 3-9 digits long. Generally, numbers you would need to call would be about 9 digits, so if it is only 9 digits long then you will need to figure out the area code. One things you can do is look up the area code for the region you are calling and see if it matches up with the first few numbers that you have. International calling rates are usually quite steep, so a call to the wrong number would be a costly mistake. If the number can't be retrieved directly from the person or business being called, international phone directories, both residential and commercial, are available on the Internet.

If you don't have a regular job and are looking to earn some extra income, there are a lot of different avenues online to make some cash. You can sell items you have made on Etsy, make some money taking online surveys, or do freelance writing or editing. . While this seems like a difficult task to do on your own, there are a lot of resources that can help you get started learning a new language.

If it's during the day and they aren't available, you can always shoot them an email or write them an old fashioned letter.  Because letter writing is few and far between, sometimes it can be really exciting to receive a handwritten letter -- and it shows thoughtfulness because it takes more effort than sending someone a text. You can also send them a postcard. While you are organizing your home, why not organize your finances as well? Creating a budget can seem constricting to some, but having an idea where your money is going can be freeing and stress relieving. Come up with some common categories like rent, food, gas, miscellaneous, etc. and apportion the amount of money you usually spend on each of these things to those categories. If you are unsure how much money should go in each category, look at your bank statement from the past two months and see how much you spent on each category. You can also find budget helpers online if you need some more ideas for different categories or how to apportion your funds. If you constantly have extended time on your hands, this is a great way to use it -- by helping others out. You can usually find a lot of volunteer opportunities just by researching online. Maybe you like working with animals or the elderly, or you'd rather volunteer to promote the arts. Either way, there are likely some opportunities in your area to spend your time helping others. ...

If you don't have liners, grease the cups using vegetable oil or butter to keep the cupcakes from sticking. Into a large bowl, add the strawberry jam, milk, vanilla, butter, eggs and sugar. Beat the mixture well to fully incorporate the ingredients. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Be sure not to overmix, since mixing too much can cause these cupcakes to turn out dense. Fill each one 2/3 way full. Leaving extra space will give the cupcakes room to rise without spilling over the rims. Test to see whether the cupcakes are done by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they're ready. If it's still wet, bake the cupcakes for another five minutes. Place them on a wire rack or on the counter to cool completely. If you frost them too quickly, the icing will melt off. The sweet taste of the strawberries pairs well with cream cheese, a simple buttercream or a complementary strawberry frosting. Try one of these recipes:   Cream cheese frosting  Buttercream  Strawberry frosting

If you don't have many friends, making small talk is the first part and can be the first step in developing a friendship. Small talk subjects often include the weather, hobbies, or what you do for a living, but another strategy is to talk about something around you. You might try a simple introduction by way of icebreaker ("Hi. I'm Julie.").  Ask them about their hobbies to see if you can do something together within one another's shared interests. Get to know this person. Find their likes and dislikes, favorite activities,  their favorite colors, etc. There is so much you can find out! Friends are everywhere, so don't be shy and stay inside your house! Go to the park, or even join a club or an after school activity! Make friends everywhere and anywhere! Don't be the one that asks questions all the time and vice versa. If you're asking them too many questions,  some people might be overwhelmed. If you don't question them anything, some people might feel awkward, having to lead the conversation alone. If they don't seem to be interested, think to yourself to find another best friend- there are a lot of people just like you out there! That is a given and looks like you're trying too hard. Instead, hang out with a new girl or someone you've seen around, but don't know yet. Try a shy person holding back - they may appreciate someone else making the effort for a change!

If you don't have the inclination to set up your own website from scratch, there are plenty of services that offer a platform for an online store you can set up in just a few hours, for a very low cost. This way you will not have to learn how to code or hire a web designer, and you'll have all the tools you need to start selling your product right away.  All-inclusive services usually take a small cut from each sale you make. The services have benefits, but there are also limitations, since you have to operate within their systems.

If you don't know where the fishing spots are in the map, open your map by pressing M and then look for the white fish icon.  Different maps in the game give different levels and types of fish. The higher the level of the map, the tougher and higher tier equipment needed to fish. If you plan on fishing at a level 45+ map, it's advisable that you get a better fishing rod, bait, and equipment. After choosing a fishing spot, head to it and stand on dry land or shallow water. Click on the Fishing icon in the water to throw out your line. A circular window will appear on your screen with an image of a fishing line. There are three different fishing modes available:  Passive - This is the default fishing mode. As soon as you cast out your line, your character goes into Passive mode, and will automatically pull in fish until you are either out of bait or your inventory is full. This is great for farming equipment such as the Green fishing set. You cannot catch Orange fish in passive mode. Active - In this mode, you control your rod. To do this, once a fish takes your bait, click the fish icon in the circular window to start reeling. See the next Step for details on how to fish in Active mode. Active Mode is time-consuming and has a greater possibility of bandits appearing. Semi-Active - In this mode, you will control your rod whenever you desire. For instance, if your indicator shows that a weak fish caught your bait, you can leave it to passive. If the indicator tells you that you caught a powerful fish, you can take control to successfully catch it. This mode is still time-consuming, and bandits may still spawn. This is the only way to catch valuable Orange fish, so it pays to start practicing early. The goal is to keep the moving bar in the blue area to avoid damaging the durability of your rod. There are a few things to keep your eye on during Active fishing:  Target Durability - This is the fish's "health". When the bar empties, the fish is caught. Fishing Equipment Durability - This is your "health". When the...

If you don't know where to find it, go to Start. Pick the age and gender of the person you'd like to make nude. If you want to make more than one type of person naked, you'll have to do it separately. For women, anything will do and for men, choose the briefs. Name it whatever you want, though something like "Nude" would be best. If you have a Windows XP, look under Documents and Settings\(Whatever your user account is)\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Projects If you are have a Mac, look under Users\(Whatever your user account is)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Projects If you have Windows Vista, the Downloads folder is: Users\(Whatever your user account is)\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Projects Inside, there will be some files. Open up body-stdMatBaseTextureName_alpha.bmp, which will be a black and white picture of the outfit you're modifying. You can use any graphics editor to open it. Even Paint, which comes with all Microsoft computers, will work.  Make sure you didn't miss any spots on the Sim, or a piece of the fabric will show up. If you did, simply reopen the project and fill in any spots you missed and re-save. You can do this as many times as you need to. You can add a tooltip (the text that appears when you mouse over a picture of the outfit in the Create-A-Sim, Bodyshop or when you're buying an outfit) to help you remember what you made your outfit for. You will now be able to buy the naked outfit from a store or create a sim wearing that outfit in Create-A-Sim.

If you don't want to block your friend, you can prevent them from seeing specific posts by editing the "Who should see this?" settings in your status field. For mobile, tap the "Facebook" app to open Facebook. You'll find the status creation field at the top of your screen; it usually says something like "What's on your mind?". On mobile, you'll need to tap the status creation field to view its options. This will prompt a drop-down menu with options regarding who can see your status. The "Friends" option is below your name in the top left corner if you're on mobile. The "Custom" option can be used to filter out friends you don't want reading your statuses.  On mobile, tap "Friends except" here. If you're making a post in which you tag a user, consider unchecking the box next to "Friends of Tagged" to prevent your friend's friends from being able to see your post. You'll need to do this in the field beneath the "Don't share with" text; you can add as many people to this list as you please. On mobile, simply tap the circle to the left of each friend you wish to exclude from your status. This will reset your default sharing option to "Custom"; you can change it back to "Friends" at any time from within the same menu. For mobile, tap "Done" in the top right corner to save these changes.

If you don't want to draw your own image, you'll need to find one that you can use. Use tools like Google Image Search or Bing to find the perfect picture, or use an image you've taken yourself. Forum avatars are almost always quite small, so the subject of your avatar should be easily distinguishable when shrunk. Landscapes and other full-frame photos are ill-suited for avatars. Faces, figures, objects, drawings, and other easily-seen subjects make for much better avatars. You don't need anything fancy to create your avatar, unless you're planning on adding effects or text. Any image editing software will work, from Paint to Photoshop. Since you don't have much space to work with for avatars, crop out everything around the subject. There are several ways to do this depending on the program you are using, but there is one way that is universal across all programs:  Click the rectangular selection tool and select just the subject. Copy it to the clipboard and then open a new file in your image editor. Paste the copied piece so that only the subject is on your canvas. Different forums have different rules about the size of the avatar image. The range is typically between 50 X 50 px to 100 X 100 px. Most forums will inform you of the limits when you use the avatar upload function in your user profile.  Some forums may allow rectangular avatars instead of just squares. Some forums may allow very large avatars. Now that your subject is isolated and you know your avatar dimension limits, you can choose whether you want to scale your image down or crop out a piece that fits the dimensions. Different programs will have different ways to go about this, but generally there is a "Resize Image" option. In Paint there is a Resize button on the Home tab, and in Photoshop you can click Image → Image Size to change the scale.  Whether you choose to scale or crop depends entirely on the subject and size of the image. If the subject takes up the entire image, such as a picture of a car, then scaling will ensure that it is all...

If you don't want to go through the trouble of disassembling the hard drive yourself, you may be able to send it directly to the manufacturer for recycling. You can choose to send in your whole computer or just your hard drive. First, look into the policies for your brand of computer.  Apple provides free shipping labels and free hard drive wiping. IBM will not wipe your hard drive for you or provide shipping labels, but they will accept your old hardware for recycling. Dell will provide a shipping label. In some locations they also allow you to drop off your old hardware at Goodwill. If you will be working with a company that offers free shipping, contact that company (by phone or online) and request a pre-paid shipping label. Print out your label. Once your hard drive has been removed, you can package it up and bring the package to the appropriate mail carrier.  Package the hard drive in bubble wrap (or other materials) so that it does not get damaged in transit. If you have received a shipping label, remember to affix this to your box. Also, be sure to visit the mail carrier that matched your shipping label. If you have not received a shipping label, you will need to pay for shipping at the mail carrier of your choice. Be sure to bring the address (available on the website of your brand).

If you don't want to use a liquid foundation, you should get a mineral powder instead of foundation. This gives lighter coverage than liquid, but it will also trap fewer bacteria in your skin and will allow your face to breathe. Alternatively, try a cream foundation, powder foundation, cream-to-powder foundation, or tinted moisturizer. Mineral makeup may be good for some, but others may find it too drying or quick to wear off. Getting the color right can be difficult if you have yellow undertones. This is simply a clear or very lightly tinted face powder that sets and gives a matte appearance to your face without the added coverage of a colored powder. There are a variety of setting powders available, from affordable drug store brands to more pricey, high-end products. This type of lip color is formulated to stay on your lips all day long, even when you eat and drink. Make sure to moisturize your lips properly before applying, as long-wear formulas are very drying.  There are a variety of long-wear lip products on the market, depending on the type of look you’re going for. Lip stains and long-wear lipsticks will last a long time, as will any type of lipstick with a matte finish. For even longer-lasting color, use a lipliner around your color. This helps the shape stay firm all day long. Applying this type of shadow over primer will keep your color in place all day long. Cream shadows tend to slip off a lot more easily. Apply the powder to the primer using an eyeshadow brush, and let it set. Water-resistant mascara works well to keep your eyes looking fresh all day. It won't budge if you happen to get wet or cry. Just make sure you don't sleep with it, as it will clump and make your lashes fall off.  Do not waste money on mascara primer. Mascara primer weighs down your eyelashes, making them look shorter. Unless it’s really urgent that you keep your mascara in place all day—such as for a special occasion like a wedding or a poolside photo shoot—opt for “water-resistant” mascaras over “waterproof” formulations....

If you don't want to use a whole trash can, you can use an empty bucket or an empty cat litter container, and make it a designated cat waste can. It's important that you remember to set up the trash receptacle close to the litter box, so that you don't risk scattering waste or litter across the floor. Some experts recommend wearing disposable gloves and a dust mask to prevent the spread of toxoplasmosis, a coccidial organism that some cats carry and transmit through fecal matter. Even if you don't directly handle the feces, cleaning the litter box can cause dust to fly in the air, which can irritate the lungs and may lead to transmission of toxoplasmosis. Cat feces should be scooped out at least once every day. Some experts even recommend scooping out solid wastes twice a day for a really clean box. If you let solid wastes build up in the litter box, your cat may refuse to use the litter box, even if the litter was only changed a few days ago. Use a special scooper, available at most pet stores. These scoopers have a grated bottom, so you can collect solid waste while the surrounding litter falls through the grates and back into the litter box. If you use clumping litter, your cat's urine should form solid clumps of litter. These should be scooped on a daily basis, just like feces. If you don't use clumping litter, sprinkle a layer of baking soda at the bottom of the litter box, before you pour in the litter. This can help absorb the odors from cat urine that might get missed during daily scooping. If you're scooping the box out on a daily basis, there's a chance you might have lost some of the litter, either because it stuck to your cat's waste or because it simply spilled out during cleaning or use. Topping off your cat's litter every few days can help keep the box clean and appealing to your cat.

If you don't, you won't be able to get into the Nintendo Club website. Registering on Nintendo Club's website will get you 100 points automatically, after completing your survey.

If you don’t own a sweater you want to deconstruct, you can find them for $1 to $10 at a thrift store.  Choose wool sweaters, if you want the most durability. You will need to wash them by hand to avoid changing the texture. Choose acrylic if you don’t need to wash sweaters regularly. Many acrylic blends tend to pill over time. Choose cotton blends for the easiest care and durability. Choose a portion just outside of the shoulder hem. You can reuse the remaining sweater for other projects. Smooth them down so there aren’t any creases.  You can wear them pulled straight or scrunched up. If you want a shorter leg warmer, you can cut your top line lower on the sleeve.

If you engage in vigorous exercise or sports, always wear protective gear. Invest in supplies like shoulder pads, knee pads, helmets, and other gear. If you're unsure what kind of equipment to buy, talk to a worker at a local sports or fitness shop. Bruises are often caused by accidental falls. Make sure you keep your floors and walkways clear of clutter to prevent bruising. If you have young children, this can be difficult. Make sure to ask your kids to pick up after themselves and work on instilling good habits from an early. Explain to them the dangers associated with falling. The vitamins B12 and C, as well as folic acid, boosts your body's natural immune response to injury. Making sure your diet is high in these vitamins and minerals can prevent bruising and decrease healing time for existing bruises.  B12 is found in many organ meats, like liver, as well as shellfish like clams. Eggs, milk, and dairy products are also rich in B12. If you're vegetarian or vegan, consider asking a doctor about taking B12 supplements. Many fruits contain vitamin C. Fruits like mango, pineapple, strawberries, papaya, citrus fruits, and cantaloupe are particularly high in vitamin C. Veggies high in vitamin C include broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, and winter squash.  Folic acid is found in citrus fruits, dark green vegetables, and legumes like peas and dried beans. Certain medications, such as blood thinners, can cause you to bruise more easily. Anticoagulants such as lovenox, warfarin, aspirin, and  heparin can thin the blood and lead to increased bruising.  Other medication such as NSAIDS, corticosteroids, and even supplements like fish oil and vitamin E may cause you to bruise easily. Your doctor may be able to switch you to a different medication if you are concerned about bruising. Bruising easily may also be a sign of an underlying health problem, such as liver disease or a vitamin K deficiency related to celiac disease, chronic pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and alcohol abuse....

If you find out that your dog is howling during times that you are away from it, the behavior may be caused by separation anxiety. Howling caused by separation anxiety is usually accompanied by other behavior patterns, such as:  Pacing Destroying objects Urination and/or defecation Drooling If your dog has separation anxiety, you will have to help it overcome the problem. The most basic technique, counterconditioning, involves getting your dog to associate good things with separation. For dogs with moderate separation anxiety, this may be enough to end the howling behavior.  Every time you leave home, offer your dog a toy. The best choices are ones that will keep your dog occupied for some time; for instance, there are toys that can be stuffed with food for your dog to enjoy for 20-30 minutes or more. Look for these toys at pet supply stores. When you return home, take the toy away so that your dog associates it only with the times when you are gone. Repeat these steps consistently, and over time your dog’s separation anxiety (and howling behavior) should subside or disappear. You can also try crate training your dog in addition to counterconditioning in order to stop its howling. In any case, do not punish your dog because of separation anxiety. Instead of making your dog stop howling, this will only increase its anxiety. If your dog has a more severe case of separation anxiety, it may need more extensive counterconditioning and desensitization—often by starting with very short periods of separation, then gradually increasing them. Talk to a veterinarian, animal behaviorist, or certified professional dog trainer (CPDT) to discuss training techniques, possible medications, and other options. If you seek the help of a CPDT, make sure he or she has been trained in counterconditioning and desensitization techniques, as education in these areas is not required for certification. Dogs need lots of attention from their humans, especially if they have to be left alone for extended periods. Making time to play with...

If you find that you have unintentionally run out of Effexor, call your pharmacy and inquire as to whether you have any refills left. If you do, all you may need to do is go over and pick up your new pills. If you have no refills, contact your doctor or psychiatrist immediately and let them know that you need a new prescription. Make an appointment for as soon as possible. If you are unable to get an appointment with your doctor any sooner than 72 hours, it is advisable to go to the nearest emergency room. This may sound unnecessary, but Effexor's withdrawal symptoms can present as soon as 24 hours after a missed dose. Once in triage, tell the nurse about your condition (what you are being treated for with Effexor), how long it has been since your last dose, and what dosage you are on. Some nurses are unaware of how serious Effexor withdrawals can be, so be patient and explain to them that missed doses of this medication can cause you to become very ill. Inform the doctor of when your next appointment with your doctor/psychiatrist is, and they may be able to write you a prescription for a small quantity that will hold you over until you can see your doctor. When you leave the emergency room, go straight to the pharmacy and fill the prescription. This way, you will not lose the prescription or forget to fill it.

TL;DR in Russian:

Проверьте, действителен ли ваш рецепт. Запишитесь на прием к врачу-психиатру. Обратитесь в государственную клинику. Подробно расскажите врачу-психиатру о своем заболевании и назначенном курсе лечения. Получите временный рецепт. Купите лекарство как можно скорее.


If you frequently get styes, your eyes may be particularly sensitive to bacterial infection. Use a clean towel and some gentle shampoo, such as baby shampoo, or special eyelid scrub to gently clean your eyelids. Rinse well with warm water. If styes a frequent problem for you, your eyelids should be cleaned daily. One of the most common ways to get styes is by transferring bacteria from your hands to your eyes. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. Wash your towels regularly, and never share a washcloth or towel with someone who has a stye. Wearing contacts requires touching your eyes often, so make sure your hands are clean each time you put them in and take them out. The contacts themselves can also transmit bacteria, so be sure to use a cleansing solution to wash them daily.  Do not wear contacts when you are suffering from a stye.  Placing a contact lens on the eye that has a stye on it increases your risk of transmitting the infection from the stye to the underlying cornea. Don't wear your contacts longer than you're supposed to. If you have dailies (i.e. disposable contacts that are intended only for a single use), throw them away every day. If you have monthlies (reusable lenses that intended to be replaced once a month), be sure to change to fresh ones after four weeks have passed.  Don't wear your contacts overnight. Even contacts that are made for safe overnight wear might cause you problems if you are prone to getting styes.  Always follow your eye doctor’s recommendation about appropriate contact lens use.  Do not wear contact lenses in situations that are specifically approved, such as while swimming (unless you wear them under tight-fitting swim goggles). Eye liner and eye shadow applied under the rim of your eyelid can cause styes, especially if you tend to wear a lot of makeup and reapply it throughout the day. Apply makeup above your lash line, and limit the amount that you apply.  Don't go to sleep wearing makeup. Use eye makeup remover to clean it off, then splash warm water on your face to...

TL;DR in Russian:

Промывайте веки. Мойте руки, прежде чем прикоснуться ими к лицу. Поддерживайте гигиену контактных линз. Наносите косметику правильно.


If you get any grease stains on your leather chair, wipe them up right away with a clean, dry cloth. Do not add water. This could cause the grease to set in. If the stain remains after you attempt to wipe it away, sprinkle baking soda on the affected area. Baking soda can help draw out the grease. Leave on for a few hours and then gently brush it off with a rag. Ink stains are common with leather furniture. If you notice an ink stain, rubbing alcohol is probably your best course of action.  Get a cotton swab. Dab some rubbing alcohol onto it.  Wipe at the stain until it clears away.  This method may also help in removing mold or mildew from a leather chair. Discolorations are common on leather furniture, especially if your chair is a lighter color. A mixture of cream of tartar and lemon juice can be used to remove these types of stains.  Make a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and cream of tartar. How much you'll need depends on the size of the stains you're removing. Mix until you have a paste.  Apply the paste to the stained areas. Leave on for 10 minutes. Then, take a damp cloth and wipe the mixture away.

TL;DR in Russian:

Вытрите жирные пятна сухой тряпкой. Используйте спирт для удаления чернильных пятен. Попробуйте исправить выцветшие места с помощью лимонного сока и гидротартрата калия.


If you have a JPEG file with the wrong file extension, such as if a typo has your file ending with “.JGP” instead of “.JPG,” this method will be useful. This method will not technically “convert” an image to a JPEG.  If your image file is not already a JPEG file, changing the file extension could break your file. See other methods if you’re hoping to turn a different image file into a JPEG file. File extensions are not case-sensitive. .JPG and .jpg are the same thing. Before you get started, make a note of the original file extension so that you can change it back if necessary. It could be on your desktop, as in the example, or in a separate folder you can access through Finder or Windows Explorer. If you’re using Windows, you can skip this step. Mac users should click once on the image, click “File,” then “Get Info.” Click the arrow next to “Name and Extension” and remove the check from “Hide Extension.” Click “Save.” Erase everything after the “.” in the file name.  On a Mac, click the image once and press ⏎ Return. Click at the end of the file extension and press Delete until you’ve erased everything after the period. In Windows, right-click the image and select “Rename.” Click at the end of the file extension and press ← Backspace to delete everything after the period. Upper or lowercase is fine. Your filename should look something like this: image.jpg. Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. Whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, you’ll see a warning about how changing the file extension could make your file unusable. Click “Use.jpg” or “Yes” if you want to make the change. Your file name will now end in .JPG.

If you have a close relationship to the person, be it intimate or platonic, you may select a gift that is more personal. If you are not a close with the person, you may choose a gift that is more useful or accessible. For example:  A romantic, thoughtful, or sentimental gift would work well for a romantic partner. It can be an experience gift or even as experience, such as a fancy dinner. A best friend may appreciate a symbol of your friendship. For example, if you bonded over Harry Potter, consider a Harry Potter themed gift. If this is an acquaintance, a gift card is always a safe bet. They can use it to buy whatever they want. Think about any items the person many need in her day to day lives or a big purchase that the person needs to do but has been putting off. This could be a new kitchen appliance the person has been eyeing or a new backpack the person needs for a new year of school.  Look for practical gifts that still feel like a treat, as the gift may be out of the person’s budget or the person may not have time to get the item herself. Avoid going too far over their budget or it may be taken as an insult - consider what will be a surprise but not a shock. If you can be sneaky, try to look at the person’s online wish lists. Many online retailers, like eBay and Etsy, will allow users to make online wish lists of items that they like or want. If you can manage to get into the person’s account, you can look over their wish list and select a gift from there.  Only sneak a look at her account if you're close to them, and if you think they won't mind you looking at their account. If the person doesn't have a wish list, pay close attention to the things they mention. For example, if they say repeatedly how much they like a certain purse, take that as a hint! Maybe you have a photograph of the two of you together that you know the person likes. Frame the photograph and give it to them as a sentimental and thoughtful gift that they can display in their home. Another option is to take items that have...

If you have a cold sore and want to stop it growing and spreading, it's very important that you resist the urge to touch it, pick it, scratch it, or rub it. Touching a sore is surefire way to exacerbate it and risk spreading to other parts of your body. If you touch the sore there is a risk of the virus spreading to your fingers, a condition known as herpes whitlow.  It is also possible for your eyes to become infected, potentially leading to scarring, injury and problems with your vision. A cold sore can spread to other areas of your skin. If you have eczema this is a particular risk, and can become a serious medical problem. To try and stop a cold sore from growing, it can be beneficial to cover it in some way that protects it from irritants but doesn't encourage further infection. Cold sore patches containing hydrocolloid gel can be used to cover and protect the sore. They are an effective way to treat skin wounds, allowing them to heal while under the protection of the patch. Alternatively, you can gently apply petroleum jelly over the sore to offer it some protection. If you do this be sure that you wash your hands thoroughly first. As well as not touching it, you need to try and make sure no other irritants come into contact with the area where you have the sores. For some people sunlight can trigger outbreaks of cold sores. If this is your experience be sure to use plenty of sunblock to protect your skin, especially around your lips and mouth, or wherever the cold sores usually appear. If you have cold sores around your lips and mouth, spicy, salty and acidic food can irritate them. They to avoid these kinds of food when you have a cold sore.

If you have a compass, the needle will point directly to magnetic north. Otherwise finding true north should be good enough for this method. Put the steel object down, so its longest dimension is laid out north-to-south. This method will not work well for small objects or steel balls that cannot be arranged north-south. Tape the steel down or use a clamp or vise to hold it in place. Bash the end of the steel object repeatedly. The steel will gradually become a weak magnet and get slightly stronger each time you strike it. Test this by holding a paper clip next to the steel periodically. Some types of steel cannot be magnetized at home. Try a different steel object if you notice no magnetic effect at all, or switch to iron. The added energy from striking the metal allows the atomic-level magnetic domains to rearrange themselves in a magnetic field. Since the planet's iron core produces its own magnetic field, these miniature magnets rearrange themselves to point north. Once enough jostling has occurred, all these miniature magnets pointed in the same direction creates a magnetic effect strong enough for us to notice.

Энергия, полученная металлом от удара молотком, позволяет магнитным доменам атомного уровня перестраиваться в соответствии с магнитным полем.


If you have a depressed mood, such as feelings of sadness, and you have lost interest or pleasure in things that were previously pleasurable, you may be depressed. These symptoms should be present most of the day and nearly every day for at least 2 weeks.  These symptoms may last for 2 weeks or more and they may stop and come back again. These are called “recurrent episodes.” In this case, the symptoms are more than just a “bad day.”  They are severe changes in mood that affect the way someone functions socially or at their job. You may have stopped going to school or showing up for work. Similarly, these feelings might make you lose interest in some of your favorite hobbies or activities, like playing sports, doing crafts, or visiting with friends. If you have undergone a major life event, such as a death in the family, you can exhibit many depressive symptoms and not be clinically depressed. Consult with your doctor or therapist to determine if you are experiencing more depressive symptoms than is typical in the normal grieving process. In addition to feeling sad and losing interest in things, a depressed person will also show other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least 2 weeks. Looking at your list of feelings for the past 2 weeks, check if you have 3 or more additional typical symptoms. These symptoms can include:  Significant loss of appetite or loss of weight Disrupted sleep (either unable to sleep or sleeping too much) Fatigue or loss of energy Increased agitation or decreased movement noticeable by others Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt Having difficulty concentrating or feeling indecisive Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide, attempting suicide or having a plan for suicide If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please seek help immediately by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room. You should not try to get rid of these thoughts without the help of a professional. " The blues are a valid set of feelings that can be brought on by stress,...

If you have a house with a yard, make sure to check fences for stability. Clean your yard out from any junk, and fence off any "doggie no-no" areas. You can use your local park, dog park, etc. Just make sure to survey the area and make sure it is safe and doggie friendly. You also might want to contact the owner(s) of the park to ask if you can reserve some space for the day. This is especially useful in the winter. Most dogs absolutely love the beach, and it will be a lot of fun watching dogs bark at the waves! Make sure that animals are allowed at the beach, first!

If you have a large worksheet that spans multiple pages that you need to print, you can set a row or rows to print at the top of every page. You'll find this in the Page Setup section. Click the button next to the Print Area field and then drag the selection over the data you want to print. Don't include the column headers or row labels in this selection. This will allow you to select the row(s) that you want to treat as the constant header. The rows that you select will appear at the top of every printed page. This is great for keeping large spreadsheets readable across multiple pages. This will allow you to select columns that you want to keep constant on each page. These columns will act like the rows you selected in the previous step, and will appear on every printed page. Click the "Header/Footer" tab and insert a header and/or footer for your print job. You can include the company title or document title at the top, and insert page numbers at the bottom. This will help the reader get the pages organized. . You can send the spreadsheet to print now, and Excel will print the data that you set with the constant header and columns you chose in the Print Titles window.

If you have a particular breed in mind, look online to find out which shelters currently have adoptable puppies. Online resources like Petfinder.org provide listings of puppies and dogs from hundreds of shelters. You can search by breed, size, gender, and age to find the right puppy for you, then contact the shelter directly to proceed with the adoption.  You may have to travel out of your city to get a particular breed. Consider expanding your search to include shelters within a few hundred miles of your home for best results. Some rare or expensive breeds may not be available in shelters. However, there are breed-specific rescue groups that may have the breed (or designer breed, such as a Labradoodle) that you are looking for.  Animal shelters and rescue groups often conduct behavioral tests (also known as temperament tests) to determine if a puppy is a good candidate for adoption.  Even with the additional costs of spaying/neutering, microchipping, vaccinating, and deworming, adopting a puppy from an animal shelter or rescue is usually less expensive than going through a breeder or paying for all of these services separately. If you are not as particular about what type of breed you want, consider going to a shelter to meet puppies in person. When you are the shelter, ask questions about the puppies’ history and behavior. Also, try to observe the activities at the shelter to determine if the dogs are well taken care of. Animal shelters can be stressful environments for dogs because of the noise, number of dogs, and high level of general activity. Some dogs may develop behavioral problems while at the shelter. The staff at the shelter should inform you if the puppy you are interested in has any behavioral issues. Asking questions at an animal shelter is just as important as asking a breeder questions. For example, you will want to ask about where the animals came from (e.g., stray, given up by previous owner). It would also be helpful to learn how long the puppy that you are interested in has been at the...

If you have a particularly vicious rabbit, you may need to take precautions at first. You might need to wear clothing or gloves to protect yourself from biting when you interact with the rabbit. You should be able to tell if you need to take this precaution. For instance, if every time you go near the rabbit, it tries to bite you, that's a good indication you need to protect yourself. Start by spending time with it near or in its cage, if it's big enough. Open the door, and sit near the opening if it's not big enough for you to get in. Let the bunny come up and sniff you. Letting it take its time will give it a chance to get to know you.  You may even consider laying down, if the bunny is merely shy. If you loom above the bunny, it will likely see you as a predator.  However, you may not want to lay down if the bunny keeps lunging at you and trying to bite. Sometimes, you need to follow the lead of the rabbit. Rabbits are like cats in that it's best to wait until the animal asks for attention. One way a rabbit may ask for attention is to lean against the side of the cage. If you notice this behavior, you can try to stroke the rabbit's head through the bars with your fingers, talking softly and sweetly to it as you approach. In a rabbit-proof room, let the rabbit out. Sit on the floor at the rabbit's level. Give it a chance to get curious about you. As the rabbit approaches you and sniffs, give the rabbit a treat. Every time the rabbit comes back to you, give it another treat. That way, the rabbit comes to associate you with good food.  You only want to use treats the first couple of times. After that, switch to pellets you take out of its daily quantities. You can also use veggies the rabbit likes. The rabbit should be eating leafy greens, so that's a good place to start, such as parsley, green or red leaf lettuce, beet greens (red Swiss chard), bok choy, mustard greens, or collard greens. You can also use small amounts of fruit, such as strawberries, pears, or oranges (no peels on the oranges).  To...

If you have a sick goldfish, it’s important to separate him from any other goldfish so that he doesn’t transmit any potential diseases. If you only have one goldfish, leave him in his tank.  If you move a sick goldfish to a “hospital” tank, transport him in plastic bag that is inside of a paper bag so that your goldfish doesn’t get stressed. You may want to fill the water in the new tank with water from the old tank, though if the water is causing your fish to die, this may exacerbate the problem. If you place the fish in new water, simply put the plastic bag into the water for 15-20 minutes to help the temperature adjust and not shock your fish. Most dying fish can be easily revived with changes to the water. Maintaining water quality is essential to keeping your fish happy and healthy—and alive.  You can buy a fish tank water testing kit at most pet stores.  These tests can help you identify any problems with the water, such as high ammonia. Test the temperature to make sure it is between 50 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit.  Test the water for acidity. Most fish thrive at a neutral pH level of approximately 7.  If the water is too acidic, you can buy a chemical neutralizer at most pet stores.  Test for oxygenation to help ensure that the saturation exceeds 70%. Goldfish produce a lot of waste and the tank water can quickly become dirty and filled with ammonia or bacteria and algae. Simply cleaning the tank and changing the water may help immediately save your fish.  Put your goldfish in a separate tank while cleaning and replacing the water. You should clean the tank once a week to keep it from forming bacteria. Remove 15% of the water, all of the gravel, and any algae you find. Don’t use any chemicals in the water. Simply cleaning off gravel and any chemicals that have evaporated on the sides of the tank is sufficient. Small amounts of chemicals or soap can kill fish. Fill the tank with fresh, clean, and cold tap water. Add a dechlorinator to the new water to remove excess chlorine. After you’ve cleaned the tank...

If you have a towel warmer, it’s a good idea to use it for your cat’s towel, but check to make sure it’s not too hot when you pull the towel out. Be sure that your cat is completely dry before letting it go.   Never share a towel with your cat without washing it in between uses. You could pick up bacteria and transfer it to yourself. It’s okay to dry vigorously. By this time, your cat will probably be sick of you and ready to leave, so dry quickly. Use a cloth to wipe around the inside of the ear. If your vet has recommended that you use ear drops, this is a good time to put them in. Drop them into the base of the ear. Then use a Q-tip to remove the dirt from the surface of the ear. Don’t go too far in, or you could damage your cat’s hearing.  It’s also okay to wash your cat’s ears while she is still in the bath, but since that just prolongs the experience, there’s no reason you can’t do this part once your cat is out of the water. Especially if your cat isn’t a fan of bathtime, you will want to reward her a little after bathtime. Give her some extra petting and affection or offer her a treat if you want.

If you have a volt/amp gauge, it will read the alternator output for you. Run engine at 2,000 rpms for tests and turn on the blower fan for the AC or Heater, the headlamps, and any other accessories that put a strain on the alternator, and watch the gauge to see if it decreases voltage or amperage. As a rule, if the voltmeter is higher when the engine is running than when the engine is not, you can confidently assume that the alternator is charging. If there is a problem with the bearings you may hear a squealing sound coming from the front of the car, which becomes louder with more electrical accessories using power at the same time. Tune your radio to a low number on the AM band with no music. If the radio whines or goes fuzzy whenever you hit the gas, the alternator is quite likely the culprit. Since every store would love for you to buy your new alternator from them, many will try to get the edge-up on their competitors by offering free testing. Dismount your alternator and bring it in to be sure.

If you have air conditioning, keeping your cat indoors will ensure that he stays cool too. Many of the things you do to keep the house cool for yourself will also benefit your cat, such as keeping the blinds, drapes, and doors closed.  Make sure that your cat can go into a warmer room if she feels too cold. (Sometimes air-conditioning and fans can make things too cold and this may be irritating for a cat, after a while.) Even if your cat likes to spend time outside, it is recommended to keep your cat inside during the hottest part of summer days, which is between 11am and 6pm. If you do not have air condition, fans and open windows are another good option to cool off your home and your cat. Place fans in front of open windows to move air through your home and cool it down. Make sure the fans you use are safe for your pet to be around by checking to see if the cover for the rotating blades is secure. Place one fan or more at floor level in a corner of the room facing towards the center of the room. This way the cat can lay at a distance that is comfortable for her to get some air movement over her fur. This air movement helps to cool down your cat in a way that is similar to sweating. Cats need access to water in order to stay hydrated. In addition, when your cat’s blood temperature rises, sensors in the brain tell her to drink water in order to cool down and dilute the blood. Therefore, it is essential to make sure that your cat always has access to clean, fresh water.  Provide multiple drinking bowls with a large surface area (such as dinner plates or dog bowls). Wider bowls encourage the cat to drink because cat do not like their whiskers to touch the sides of the bowl. Make sure that you replace the water at least once a day and keep it topped up at all times. Never let your cat drink from water than contains algae as the latter is toxic and may cause diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, and sudden death.  Consider getting a cat drinking fountain. Many cats prefer to drink running water and a cat drinking...

If you have any chest hair already, shaving regularly might help it getting very slightly thicker, overtime, for some people, but not significantly so, neither is helps hair grow where it isn't. (This one of the reasons some girls prefer waxing instead of shaving.) Shaving cuts the hair close to its root, where it's thickest; when it grows out, the hair will be thicker for its whole length, though this is a temporary visual effect and is stimulated to grow continuously to reach its full length. See How to Shave Chest Hair.  Shave your chest every 2-4 weeks. In the mornings, after a shower, massage the chest area with Daktarin. This method has been reputed to stimulate the growth of new hair, although not medically verified.  Note: Miconazol Nitrate is a fungus-busting crème used to treat foot and vaginal infections. Use in moderation, and with caution. Rub the onion onto your chest using a circular motion. Once the surface of the onion is dry, cut about 5mm of the onion and continue; this can stimulate hair growth because onions contain sulfur, a mineral known to help with hair growth. This method should probably not be used during the day, because of the smell. So let it do it's work during the night, and shower the next morning. It may be embarrassing, but ask someone you trust about their own experience growing chest hair. If the male relative wants to know why, you have two options:  Tell the truth, mention your intention of growing chest hair and maybe they can let you in on their secrets. You may have nothing to worry about. Just say that you were wondering and wanted to talk about something random. The growth will probably only start after about two weeks and will be only dramatically noticeable after some time. Be patient and stick with your treatment. It may not necessarily seem this way, but there are many more important things in life than chest hair, so chin up! There are some well-intentioned myths out there about how to grow hair and what it takes to have a manly mane. Many of them have been...
