There are lots of variation to the white elephant gift exchange. Look through a couple and decide which ones you want to implement before the game begins.  Mark gifts as gender-appropriate, where possible. Label a gift male-appropriate, female-appropriate, or unisex.  Cards containing instructions can be wrapped up to look like presents and placed into the gift box. The instructions contain rules such as "Recipient of this card chooses two presents, opens them both, and places one back into the gift box," or "Recipient of this card chooses a gift and cannot have their gift stolen." If you choose to work with these cards, be mindful of two things:  People who make cards with instructions have to bring both a card and a gift. There won't be enough gifts to go around if people who write cards fail to bring gifts. Cards with instructions are tougher to implement if you choose to open the gifts at the very end. Obviously, it's impossible to "open two gifts and choose one" if you don't open the presents until the end.   The first player may be given the option to exchange gifts with another player at the very end. Because the first player doesn't have the option of stealing, they might be given it at the very end. This option works best when presents remain unopened until the very end; otherwise, the first player has a distinct advantage. There are many different variations on stealing in a white elephant gift exchange. Play around with a couple different variants.  An item that is stolen three times becomes frozen. After an item changes hands three times, it can no longer be stolen, and stays with the third person who stole it. Be sure to keep track of how many times an item is stolen on a notepad to avoid confusion. Alternately, a limit can be placed on the number of times a person is stolen from (instead of the number of times an item is stolen). If you set the limit at three, for example, an item can be stolen however many times, so long as it's stolen from someone who hasn't reached his or her limit of three....

Bring the left edge of your pattern to the right edge and sew down the edges to connect them. Sew them together from the top edge of the pattern where you cast on to the row with the marker at the top of the legs. Rotate the shape so that this seam is on the back of the teddy bear.  Use a blunt tipped needle to sew the pieces together to make it easier. If you are a beginner, then you can use the backstitch to sew the pieces together. Starting from one side simply push the needle down through both layers and bring around the edge and push down through the same location to begin. Then move over one-quarter inch and bring the needle back up through both layers. Continue stitching until you reach the end of the seam. Now that the seam is on the back of the teddy bear there will be two pieces at the bottom that will form the legs. Sew from the top of the legs all the way down the inside seam to the bottom foot seam to close the legs. Do this on both legs. You can again use the backstitch to sew the seams. Use cotton or any type of stuffing to fill the teddy bear. Do not overstuff but fill the teddy completely, including the legs and feet. Sew the top seam of your pattern shut to close the head. Try to round the corners slightly if possible. Again you can use the backstitch to connect the seams. Fold the arm pieces in half lengthwise and sew along the long end and the bottom edge to make the arms and hands. You can again use the backstitch to sew these seams together if you would like. Stuff the arms with the same material you used for the body of the teddy bear. Then close the tops of the arms. Attach the arms of the teddy bear to the body using a simple backstitch or other stitch that you prefer. The arms should be attached just below the neck on each side.

When the ball is high, it's time to get low. If you don't, you stand a very good chance of having it fly between your legs - the most embarrassing fielder's error. Drop into a crouch that'll let you move quickly if you need to catch the ball on a short bounce. Here's where hand-eye coordination comes into play. Extend your glove toward the ball, keeping your elbow slightly bent. Position your glove so that the ball will roll or hop right into it.  A common mistake fielders make is not keeping their glove down. It is easier to bring the glove up than to get it down quickly, so keeping your glove in a low position provides better coverage. Make sure it's not in the path of the ball, but it should be close enough that you can easily employ it if need be. Two hands are better than one, so your other hand should be ready to trap the ball when it meets your glove. The number one rule in baseball, keep your eye on the ball, applies as much to fielding as it does to hitting. Make sure to watch the ball until it's safely nestled in your glove, and be ready to move if it does something unexpected. When the ball is in your glove, close your glove tight and immediately trap the ball with your opposite hand. This puts you in the perfect position to  throw the ball where it needs to go as quickly as possible.

This will help you maintain your center of gravity. Pretend like you are hovering over a chair and lower your bottom into a semi-sitting position. Lean forward to keep your center of gravity even, and hold your arms out at a 45 degree angle if you feel wobbly. When you're ready, try lifting your hand away from the rail. Bend your knees and lean forward as you do so to minimize the chance of falling. Stay within an arm's length of the rail at first so, if necessary, you can return your grip on the rail. Gliding is a simple method of moving forward, and it can be done slowly or quickly. Keeping your arms out, take small steps with your skates. Take slow steps at first, but step more quickly as you gain momentum. Pick up one foot and then the other while skating until your feet move forward with little effort. Grab the rail if you begin to lose your balance. Add some speed by bending your knees deeply until in a full sitting position. Increase the power you put into your glide with more forceful steps. Lean forward as you skate faster so that if you fall, you're less likely to hit your head. Take your time. You don't have to skate as fast as a figure skater during your first day on the ice. Put your dominant foot forward and lean your body towards the center of the ice rink. Bend your knees to retain momentum as you turn. Hold this position until you have completed the turn, then switch back to gliding once you're skating in a straight line again. Push the flat part of your blades against the ice until you can feel it scraping. Put one foot out and, bending your knees, add pressure to the flat part again. This will bring you to a gradual stop.  This is a basic stopping technique called the "snowplow stop," and it is ideal for beginning skaters. As you continue skating, you can try more complex techniques.  Practice stopping safely so you know what to do in an emergency.

. Always follow the instructions the tattoo artist gives you about caring for your new tattoo and make caring for your new tattoo a priority. Rinse the area gently and wash it thoroughly with antibacterial soap, starting 1 hour after receiving the tattoo. Then, rinse the area again and pat it dry with a new paper towel. Tattoo artists will usually provide you with a tube of cream, often Tattoo Goo or Aquaphor, or another topical ointment. Apply the ointment to the tattoo to keep it clean and healing properly for at least 3-5 days after receiving the tattoo. Never use Vaseline or Neosporin on new tattoos. In the first couple of days of receiving a new tattoo, it's important to keep it as comfortable as possible, letting it heal naturally. Don't use too much ointment, as the skin needs to be able to breathe. Avoid wearing clothing that might irritate the area and keep it out of the sun as much as possible to avoid bleeding the ink. While it's uncommon, some people are allergic to certain ingredients in tattoo ink, which can create an ugly and painful situation if you get a tattoo. It's best to get an allergy test performed if you're interested in getting a tattoo.  Usually, black ink doesn't contain anything that people are allergic to, but often colored inks will have other additives that can cause reactions in some people. If you just want to get a tattoo with India ink, you're probably fine, even if you have sensitivities. You can also request the artist use vegan ink made with natural ingredients if you have sensitive skin. If you're going to get a tattoo, spend some time researching good parlors and artists in your area, and make sure the artist you choose to tattoo your body has a license and that the parlor has a good track record of cleanliness and customer satisfaction.  Avoid stick 'n pokes and other home tattooing options. Even if your friend is "really really good" at giving tattoos, make an appointment with someone who gives tattoos professionally to get yours done. If you make an appointment and...

Select the folder and click File → Compress from the top menu. Alternatively, select the folder with control-click, right-click, or a two-finger touchpad click. This opens a drop-down menu that includes Compress. Use the attach function as you would for any file, then select the compressed folder. Some users report a bug in the Mail app that selects the folder that contains the one you select. If this happens, switch the folder to "list view" and try again. If the compressed folder is still too large for your email client, you can try one of these workarounds:  If you're using iCloud Mail, click the gear icon in the sidebar, then Preferences. Under Composing, select "Use Mail Drop when sending large attachments." Now you can attach files up to 5 GB, although the download link will only remain for 30 days.  Separate the contents of the folder and send the files in several emails.  Upload the files to a free cloud storage service.

Deviating from your established formula may cause you to lose subscribers. Remember that your viewers are on your channel to see a certain type of content. On the other hand, if your current videos aren't receiving much in the way of engagement from your audience, it may be time to change things up. Since YouTube changed their algorithm in late 2017, creators are rewarded for the length of watch time rather than individual views. This means that engaging viewers all the way through a 15-minute video will be more lucrative than losing them at the halfway point. An easy way to ensure that users are engaged throughout the video is to minimize filler content. If you have to transition from one topic or point to another, keep the transition brief and in line with your content. While you shouldn't add filler for filler's sake, if you have exceptionally short YouTube videos (e.g., under three minutes), you may want to increase the length by one or two minutes where possible.  Ideally, your videos will be between 8 and 12 minutes.  This is especially important if you're trying to make money while operating with a small initial subscriber base. Don't extend your videos if your content persuasion clearly relies on short, punchy content (e.g., Tasty videos). Knowing when users are losing interest in your videos can help you change your video layout, especially if your videos all follow a specific format. You can see the point at which users stop watching your videos by doing the following:  Click your profile icon in the upper-right corner of YouTube. Click Creator Studio  Click ANALYTICS on the left side of the page. Look at the "Average view duration" section on the right side of the page. Adding annotations with links to your other content will both keep your audience aware of your other content and encourage longer viewing sessions. Make sure not to overcrowd the video player with annotations, as this can be annoying and unconvincing.

If for whatever reason you do not already have an email account in your name, now's the time to start one. You will need an email address to register a domain. The options for free emails are numerous, although Gmail is arguably the best for this purpose. Password and email security is always important, but it's made even more vital if you're associating your email with a new domain name. Any hacking onto your email could lead to your domain being compromised, among a great many other bad things. To date, the only completely free domain type you can acquire are ".tk" domains. dot-TK domains are sponsored by Tokelau, a small country in the South Pacific, largely as an investment to spread awareness about the country and attract tech ventures. These are very simple and easy to get, and you can attach them to existing addresses if you wish. The dot-TK website is specifically intended for users to register free domains. You will only be able to get the .tk domain if you insist on getting one freely. Paid domains may be registered at sites like GoDaddy. Choosing an address for your website is extremely important, and requires a bit of creativity. So many domains have already been picked out, and you'll need to choose something that's both relatively easy to remember and applies to the theme or content of your website.  You can check availability of certain URL domains. Don't be discouraged if the first few you think up are already taken.  Anyone potentially using your site should have an idea as to its contents based on the domain name. On the dot-TK server page, you will be asked to go input details of your domain, including your email contact info and the chosen domain name, among other things. The process itself is quite straightforward and should not take you more than a couple of minutes to fill out entirely. Once the info is inputted to your satisfaction, complete the registration with your dot-TK account. Your site should be up shortly thereafter, although you may have to wait up to 48 hours depending on...

Any health and wellness policy needs to involve anti-bullying protocols. Make sure this is covered and supported by the management and is taken seriously at all levels of the business. Pair this with an open door policy and hold frequent orientation meetings regarding workplace bullying, making sure employees at all levels are on the look out for this behavior. It's easy to sit back and hope for the best, thinking that your employees will be able to work it out among themselves. It won't. Don't let a problem fester among your employees if you want a productive, healthy, and effective work environment.  Investigate all complaints seriously and fully. Even if complaints seem to come from overly sensitive employees and turn out to be the result of simple misunderstandings, they're worthy of your attention. Often bullying evolves from a sense of competition in the workplace, leading employees who feel threatened by the skills of other employees to attempt to bring them down or sabotage their efforts by engaging in psychological warfare. It's a dangerous and problematic workplace dynamic to let fester. Workplace competition is based on the belief that employees want to be the best and will work harder when rewarded for successes. While it's true that competition in some business models can increase productivity, it also increases the turnover of employees and can create a hostile and unwelcoming environment. The more involved your workforce is at all levels with itself, the less likely the lowest-level workers are to take matters into their own hands. Think of it as Lord of the Flies--don't let the parents be absent from the island, and the kids will be ok.

As part of your business plan, consider:  What sort of cleaning business will you develop? Is your business a general house cleaning one or will it specialize in such cleaning as green cleaning, end-of-tenancy cleaning, open home cleaning, after-party cleaning, removing smoke damage, etc. The more specific your cleaning type becomes, the more you'll need to research, learn and possibly seek qualifications for.  Will your business offer different types of cleaning? Related to the sub-step above, perhaps your business will grow over time to include more niche services. Will you use your own products or will you use those of the client's? If you make your own products or believe in certain products, this might form the core of your business. Or, you might be happy with what the client wants used (note that in some cases, you will need to be flexible even if you do use your own cleaning products––after all, it's not your home). Where will you operate? Check out the cleaning services already in your area and beyond. Is the market able to take one more cleaning service or is it currently saturated? What transportation do you have? You can't really rely on the family's own car filled with buckets, mops and cleaning products, at least not for long, as it's too messy and takes away a vehicle from everyone else needing it. If you're cleaning using the client's products, you might get away with using public transportation; otherwise, you'll need some means for getting to and from the houses, especially if they're in very different areas. What is your price scale? Check what existing services charge. Can you undercut them for a while without going into the red? See below for more information on how to charge. What is your business system for keeping track of invoices, expenses, sales tax, etc.? You'll need accounting software, an understanding of how to use it and a separate place to keep all business documentation so that it doesn't get mixed up with your personal expenses. If you don't feel confident, there are quick...

Having a few good staples goes a long way. You can mix and match them with each other and employ layers for all seasons. Choose classic items for an elegant appearance that doesn't require a lot of forethought.  For a dressed up event, any woman will tell you that their 'little black dress' is a staple. To wear the dress for other occasions, interchange dressy pumps for simple black flats. For men, it's important to own a classic black suit and quality dress shoes. Some classic tops include a knit sweater or cardigan in a light color, a white shirt with a scooped neckline, and a white long-sleeve button down shirt.  Classic bottoms include black slacks or pants, along with dark-wash denim. Quality material and well thought-out design will go much further in a simple wardrobe than discount or cheaply made clothing. You will be able to create multiple outfits from fewer items when the clothing fits you well and lasts a long time.  Be sure to take your time finding and purchasing the classic clothes you decide to invest in. If you want to dress up your look, a statement necklace, earrings, or other piece of jewelry will go a long way. Jeans are a staple you can always rely on for a simple look. Choose jeans that are are a solid, neutral color, and don't have a large amount of detail, rips, or other decorations and seam-work on them.They'll go with everything.  Dark wash jeans are the best option since they compliment just about any top and look slimming. For the same reasons, black denim, yoga, or cotton pants are also a great staple for your wardrobe. Dark pants go well with a wide variety of other colors, and can be dressed up or down, so the options for tops and shoes are endless. To keep the simple look, choose a white or gray top. Avoid bold patterned shirts and bright colors.  If you have a lighter pair of jeans or pants, a black top can also look nice. Choose tops in any type of material, from cotton jersey to silk or satin. If you need to dress up an outfit you'll want classic solid color dress shoes for...

Make it as big and beautiful as you wish.  Smaller rooms are easier to remember, but big rooms work just as well.  This can be a temporary room, if you're using it only for a specific list, or a permanent mental place you can return to any time you need. Having a permanent room will make it easy for you to memorize the space and go into smaller details about its design. You can use an existing room, like your bedroom or kitchen. This will save you time and make it handier for you to return to it anytime you want to. As you go back, don't change details or move items: just memorize everything and familiarize with it as much as possible. Each time you can get into smaller details about where things are located: for example,  you can add furniture, objects, paintings on the wall or decorative plants. This will give you more cues to link your memories to. For example, consider the following random list:  shoe dog desk the date 12/09/1990 cow your grandpa Billy Bob turkey $20 you owe your landlady computer eggs This will create a link (association) with the elements that are already present in the room. For example, you can add an ugly shoe-patterned wallpaper to the walls, have a barking dog on your couch, put an elaborate desk below the window, write the date in pink neon letters on the frame of a famous painting, put a fat cow in the doorway, have Grandpa Billy Bob eating sloppy Joes on your new carpet, picture a Thanksgiving turkey on the dining room table, have your landlady standing in the middle with a $20-bill in her hand, a broken computer on the floor, and eggs smashed into the door. If your list is made up of proper nouns, like the main battles of the Civil War or writers' names, replace them with words you can picture first, and then place these in your room. For example, if you have to memorize a list of modernist writers for your next exam, like Virginia Woolf, James Joyce and Ezra Pound, you can have: a wolf tearing off your wallpaper, a joystick on the table and a bunch of British pounds scattered...

If you want to make a tutorial, make it simple and easy. If you want to make a funny video, do random things, and use the jump cut effect. If you make tutorials, don't make them look complicated and hard. Use clear, short instructions and promise that the end result is something anyone can manage. Here is where you ensure the jump cuts. Cut all of the things that you don’t want. Make sure that it looks professional and is easy on the eye and ear. Less is often more. Keep that in mind. Here are some things that may help:  The title has to be catchy. Include popular words if possible. A catchy introduction fanfare that you put onto the beginning of every video will make your videos seem more professional and interesting. It also adds to building your brand if you use something that identifies your videos each time. Introduce yourself and to say your name clearly so viewers will understand you. If they like your video and know who it's by (you), they will watch more. Talk with ease, laugh a little at your mistakes. Depending on how interesting they are, you could even make bloopers at the end. Sure people will laugh at you, but you will most likely get a thumbs up. If you're just starting, Windows Movie Maker or iMovie are just fine. You can use more advanced stuff such as VSDC free video editor when your channel becomes more popular. When someone searches a video, there is a tab under the title saying "NEW". Once a week passes, the tab will vanish. Most people want a YouTuber who is current on YouTube. Keep your videos short. Most people don't have time for a 46 minute video. Even if they do, they will probably stop it in the middle of your video.

Every time you log in to your blog, the design of it ideally should motivate you to write. For some people, a simple write background, mimicking a blank page, sets the heart aflutter. For others, an intricate houndstooth pattern does the trick. How do you want your blog to look? Choose a simple background over a loud and in-your-face one, although do what pleases you most. Here are some ideas for simple backgrounds you can mull over: A photograph of you and your family on vacation A simple, unobtrusive pattern that provides texture but doesn't take away from the words A map of picture of a map A writing object, such as a fountain pen, typewriter, or ream of paper A simple background in your favorite color If you want your blog to be personal and de-indexed from search results, so that only you see it, check this option. In many blogs, there is also an option which allows you to keep your blog entirely private, where a password is required to access it. Look for this option if you want your blog to be truly secret. If you make categories into which you place your blog posts, try ordering the categories by popularity. Why put the blog post you visit least right up there at the top, and the blog post you visit most near the bottom? Design with simple navigation in mind. Reduce the clutter. Just because you have the option of creating dozens of plugins and widgets doesn't mean you need to use them. If this blog is indeed about you and your thoughts, make them stand out instead of extraneous stuff. In many public blogs, your first post is a short explanation of who you are (some secrets are kept) and why you decided to blog. It's an online introduction of sorts. Because you're building a personal blog, however, you need not be so formal in your first post.  Write about what motivated you to start a blog. It may help to put things into writing. This is often a cathartic act, too, releasing certain tensions and stress. Try it on for size and see how it feels. Write about what you intended to write about. Jump right...

While it may be tempting to force a nervous cat to come out of hiding, this will not build a better relationship with the cat. Instead, if you can tempt the cat out of hiding, you are putting the ball in the cat's court so to speak, basically having it make the decision to interact. If the cat has places it feels safe, then perhaps it will feel less stressed and it will make the cat feel more secure when it does venture out. While you want to make sure the cat can hide itself a bit, you also need to make sure that there are no hazards around it. Be especially sure that the cat cannot escape! Don't force your affection onto a high strung cat. It can be totally frustrating to care for a cat that doesn't trust you or care to hang out with you, but you need to keep focused on developing your long-term relationship with the cat. Forcing the cat to do something it doesn't want to do will only make it more distrustful of you. Provide the cat with toys and equipment, such as a cat tower, that will make it happier and more fulfilled. While a skittish cat may be a little afraid of you, it may overcome that fearfulness to play with you or to receive a treat. Contentment will only make it more likely that the cat will overcome its shyness and become comfortable with you. Some cats are naturally reserved or have experienced trauma that makes them fearful. While it's important to try to make your cat happy and content, it may not be able to overcome all neuroses. Make a concerted effort to socialize your cat but don't think of it as a personal failure if your cat doesn't want to snuggle with you all the time. Food is a powerful motivator for a cat, so if it knows that you are the source of its food it may be more inclined to show you affection. If the cat is severely high strung, feeding time may be the only time you can get near it. Hang out near the cat's food dish, making sure that you are far enough from the dish that the cat will actually eat but that your presence is acknowledged by the cat.


Создайте для себя расписание. Переводите внимание на что-нибудь другое практически каждый час. Пересмотрите свой день.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

At what time should you be done with your first assignment, project or activity today? List each activity, starting with the earliest one, and working your way through the hours of the day. Make sure that you work around any appointments or meetings you have. Of course, everyone’s days are different, so each person’s plan will be different. A basic plan could look something like this:  9:00 to 10:00am: Get to the office, check email, send out responses 10:00 to 11:30am: Meeting with George and Sue 11:30 to 12:30pm: Project #1 12:30 to 1:15pm: Lunch (eat healthy!) 1:15 to 2:30pm: Review project #1, meet with Sam and discuss Project #1 2:30 to 4:00pm: Project #2 4:00 to 5:00pm: Start Project #3, set things up for tomorrow 5:00 to 6:30pm: Leave the office, head to the gym 6:30 to 7:00pm: Pick up groceries head home 7:00 to 8:30pm: Make dinner, relax 8:30pm: Go to the movies with Cody It is important to take a moment after each allotted amount of time to review how productive you were during that time. Did you do everything you needed to get done? Then, give yourself a minute to reset--close your eyes and relax. This way you will be able to effectively transition into the next activity you have to do. Sometimes you will need to leave a project and come back to it later. Make sure to make a note of where you left off. This will make it easier to return to the project later on. When you have finished the majority of your day, take a moment to review how successful you were at sticking to your plan. Were you able to finish everything that you wanted to? Where did you slip up? What worked and what didn’t? What distracted you and how can you keep it from distracting you in the future? Keep in mind that some projects will take multiple days or weeks to complete, and that is okay. Try to think about what you accomplished in terms of increments rather than as a whole. If necessary, learn to plan your week in addition to your day to get your project done on time.


Создайте заявление, объясняющее, почему вы занимаетесь этим видом творчества. Опишите творческий процесс. Расскажите о вашей текущей работе. Будьте кратки, презентабельны и конкретны. Пользуйтесь простым языком.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The first section of your artist's statement should begin with a discussion of why you make art. Try to make it as personal as possible. Talk about what your goals are and what you hope to achieve through your art. In the second section of you statement, tell the reader about your decision-making process. How do you select a theme? How do you choose what materials to use? What techniques to utilize? Keep it simple and tell the truth. In the third section, provide some insight into your current work. How does it relate to your previous work? What life experiences informed it? What are you exploring, attempting or challenging through this work? Your artist statement is an introduction to your work, not an in-depth analysis of it. Your artist’s statement should be one to two paragraphs and no longer than a page.  Your statement should answer the most commonly asked questions about your art, not overwhelm readers with irrelevant facts and minute details. Brevity and efficiency of language are key. A good statement will leave your readers wanting more. An effective artist's statement reaches out and welcomes people to your art, no matter how little or how much they know about art to begin with; it never excludes. It should make your work more accessible, not obscure it with convoluted language filled with artsy jargon.   Write in simple, straightforward, everyday language. Make "I" statements rather than "you" statements. Talk about what your art does for you, not what it's supposed to do for the viewers.

This method is a super-quick route to a colourful hideaway that your cat will love and that also works with your home decor! Using items from around the house you can whip this stylish divan up with just a t-shirt, wire hangers, old fabric scraps and a safety pin.  You could use one of your old t-shirts that your cat already loves the feel of. You could pick one to match your home décor, bright or black, patterned or plain - the choice is yours. Better still you can change it up as often as you like! This is how you will make the tent shape which will sit over your cat by shaping the hangers into an arch. Think about the height of your cat and make sure that the arch you make is high enough to make them comfortable inside. If your cat is small and likes a cosy den then you can cut the ends off the hangers before you start to make a smaller arch.  Shape the hangers into two arcs and cross them into an X shape. This is your tent frame. Check the frame is solid. Wind tape through the “X” to secure it tightly. Create small “feet” at the bottom of each arc by bending the ends of the hangers. This will make it sturdy. Wrap tape around the each “foot” to protect your cat's paws from any sharp ends. This will make the tent cover. The t-shirt needs to be large enough so that it will cover the frame with some fabric to spare. This means you will be able to pull the t-shirt tightly over the frame to make a snug home.  Slide the t-shirt over the tent frame, keeping the t-shirt neck at the front and center. This is your door. Pull the t-shirt tightly over the frame at the back and fasten it with a safety pin to make it easy to remove for washing. You can choose to sit the tent over a ready-made cushion or any other soft base. The point is to make sure your cat feels comfortable and safe so whatever fits that criteria – go for it!  You can use your cat’s favourite textures – a pillow, cushion, towel, some felt or even vintage curtains or a throw.  Add something that smells of you such as an old t-shirt or sweater. Add a...

Once the child with TBI enters school environment, assessment is the first step. The school therapist, psychologist, behavior therapist, and physiotherapist team should all coordinate and compare assessments of the child. The usual problems that are seen after TBI include:  Motor disabilities, including both fine and gross motor skills. Slow processing speed. Cognitive impairment. For example, a child of average intelligence might lose cognitive skills and fall into the category of mild intellectual disability following the injury. Behavioral problems caused by issues with recovery, suffering excessive pain and having difficulty adjusting to their new life.. Memory loss in the form of amnesia, or loss of memory of some events. Poor short term memory and forgetting issues. Lack of attention and concentration. Changes in personality (for example, a social child might become isolated). Some schools possess teachers that are experts in providing special education. If your child's school does not currently employ such a teacher, talk to the school authority and ask them to hire a special education expert. Alternatively, you could consider sending your child to another school that has adequate facilities and staff to cope with his TBI. Intervention according to ongoing observation and assessment should be made by parents, doctors, teachers and other important figures around the patient. There should be regular meetings especially between parents and teachers. Special needs, improvements and requirements should be discussed. It is very important for the teachers to collaborate with the doctors, therapists, parents and other rehabilitation team working with the child.  You will have an idea about child’s present functioning, home environment and chances of improvement It will give you an idea about the child’s progress. Being a teacher you might find some deficit for example the child having difficulty with motor skills and may talk to the physiotherapist about it and device ways to manage. This collaborative...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If things in the office are tense, impersonal, cold, and unfriendly, then yeah, your employees won't be as motivated as they would if they walk into the office feeling happy, safe, and warm. Okay, so some people will never love walking in to work, but you can do your best to make them like the experience as much as possible. Have treats at the office, windows that offer lots of sunlight, and a friendly, casual atmosphere where people feel comfortable. Encourage communication in person, instead of over chat or email. Get people walking around and talking to each other. Sure, this may be 10% less efficient, but the morale boost it gives will be worth it. If your team is doing really well, don't just say, "Great job! You've worked hard!" Let them know that you really care by citing specific examples of how the team worked hard. Say something like, "You've done fantastic work with the latest fundraising campaign. Donations went up 30% from last year," or "Your group report was direct, helpful, and even entertaining, at times. I especially loved the chart on page 3 -- it really drove the point home." This kind of talk makes your team feel like you acknowledge their hard work. Along the same vein, it's important to be specific when you give criticism, too. Instead of saying, "You need to work harder," say something like, "This team needs to work on producing more monthly reports. If you wrote just one more report a week, productivity would really soar." Though your job and your team's job may be pretty straightforward, try to mix things up as much as you can. Even if your team's job is really to write reports all day, see if you can find a way to be a bit more creative so they are not doing the same old thing every day, and so that they stay motivated and excited to be there. No matter what the task is, if your team members are doing the same thing 8 hours a day, every day, they are bound to get bored and to lose motivation. It can be important to mix things up for at least a few hours a week. Even if it lowers...

Instead of creating a blank document, you will be working from a template.  In Word 2007, click the Office icon at the top left of the screen and select "New." In Word 2010 and 2013, click "File" and then "New." You will have dozens of different ready-made postcards to choose from. Select the one that's closest to what you want.  In Word 2007, the easiest method will be to type "postcards" into the search bar at the top of the new document window. This will pull up templates for you to download. In Word 2010 and 2013, there are special sections for postcard templates. Click "Cards" and then select "Postcards." If you purchased blank postcards, search for their manufacturer. If you cannot locate a pre-installed template, check the manufacturer's website for available downloads. Many postcard templates will be easy to edit with each picture and textbox as its own discrete object. Move objects to different areas of your postcard or delete them entirely. If you want to use a custom picture, right click a picture on the template and replace it. Change the text by clicking the textbox. The text's font, size, and color can also be altered using the Font toolbox, just like in a normal Word document. Save your document once you're finished to avoid losing your work.

The seventh row in the table will be for the "FINAL JEOPARDY" button. When making this slide's point values, remember to double the points (e.g., start with 400 points instead of 200, end on 2000 points instead of 1000, etc.). Click and drag your mouse across the bottom row to do so. It's near the top of the PowerPoint window. This will open the Layout toolbar. This is an option in the Layout toolbar.

Создайте общий план сюжета. Создайте  характеристики каждого важного персонажа. Определите  место действия. Выберите, от какого лица описывать события сюжета.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your outline should include a general sense of what will happen, where it will happen, and who it will happen to. You can be as detailed or sparse as you’d like. Write at least one sentence per scene or chapter, depending on how long your work is, but don’t worry about filling in every little detail. That’ll come later!  Write the whole plot, not just the beginning, so you know where your story is going. Outlines don’t work for everyone. If trying to plan out your story before you start bogs you down, just dive right in and figure out the details as you go along. You can also make less detailed character profiles for your minor characters, if you’d like. While some of the information from your character profiles might never make it into your story, knowing these facts helps you write more well-rounded characters and therefore makes the story more interesting for your readers! You can find various character profiles and character profile worksheets online, but some basic things to write in your character profile include:  Height, weight, race, eye color, hair color, skin color, health Mannerisms, habits, hobbies, speech patterns, whether they’re an extrovert or introvert Greatest flaw, best quality Education, intelligence, short- and long-term goals The most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to them The thing they’re proudest of Strengths, weaknesses Their relationship to the other characters Your story’s setting can shape what your characters do, what their pasts are like, and what their future opportunities might be. For example, a story set in rural Brazil will be extremely different from a story set in outer space, because these environments influence what the characters can and can’t do. Think about how your setting impacts your characters and whether the setting changes throughout the novel. Some important things to consider include:  The year the story is set in The climate and time of year Nearby bodies of water, mountains, plants, and other geographical factors The cultural and political...


Создайте период беспокойства и отсрочьте плохие мысли. Обратите внимание на плохую мысль, но не цепляйтесь за нее.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Research shows that one of the most effective ways to deal with an unwanted thought is to simply let it run its course. However, that doesn't mean you necessarily have time to do that in any given moment. Create a "worry period," a set time each day when you are allowed to worry. Consider the rest of your day a worry-free zone.  Set your worry period for the same time each day and early enough that it won't make you anxious right before bed.  If a bad thought comes into your mind, notice it and tell yourself you will worry about it later. You can even keep a notebook to jot it down or simply say to yourself: "I want to remain calm. I will come back to this later." It may or may not come up again.  If the thought returns, make a tick next to it in your notebook. Say to yourself, "Yes, I will get to you, just not right now." Go over your list during your designated worry period. If the bad thoughts or worries still bother you, then go ahead and worry about them, but only for the set worry period. If they no longer bother you, cross them off and move on.  Postponing your worries will break the habit of dwelling on bad thoughts and disrupting your day, but at the same time you're not battling to suppress or block the thought. If the thought continues to arise repetitively, you may need to discuss it with a mental health professional. For instance, when the unhelpful thought occurs, make a mental note that it did occur. It might be something you say out of habit to yourself, or it might be something in your environment, something someone said or did, that triggered a bad memory.  When people remember the bad memory AND engage in it, they relive the memory, emotions and all, unless they are aware that they are being triggered. Once you become aware, you can work on postponing the bad thought, as described above. You can acknowledge that yes, bad things have happened in your life, and you understand why you were reminded of this memory in this instance, but you practice (or at least consider) putting it aside for...

Is your dog Biscuit on Facebook? Does Vilos Cohaagen, the Mars Administrator villain from the movie Total Recall have a Pinterest presence? If you're feeling bored online, all you need is a free email account to start a new Facebook fan page or some other kind of social networking account. As long as you're not using it to slander, there's nothing wrong with starting a tribute or fan page. Try to make it as accurate as possible. Update your dog's Twitter account regularly, every time he seems to be thinking something ridiculous: "who's foot is that oh yeah it's mine. #four is a confusing number of feet" . Got a YouTube account and access to a webcam? Think of a cool video to put on YouTube and start making one. Rummage through your purse and record a "What's in my purse" video, or review a recent candy that you brought, or a television show you watched, or a trailer you saw. Or start vlogging and vent to the camera.  Be sure that the camera isn’t shaky and offers good clarity. Don’t forget to edit the video that you're going to make for the right effect that you need. Do you have opinions? Even if you don't, there's an outlet for venting them online. Open a Yelp account and review something absurd, like Walmart. How many stars is the local Gas Station out of five stars? What about that recent used DVD copy of Jean Claude Van Damme's "Bloodsport" you got? Write up a serious review and post it on Amazon. From Gummy Bears to Banana Slicers, there are viral review topics on a regular basis. Find something that's getting trolled currently and chip in. Have a conversation with an old friend online if you're feeling bored. In all seriousness, this can be a great way to If you're stuck at home and have an itch to go shopping, you can window shop just as you might at the mall.

Создайте подходящие условия. Предоставьте ребенку множество вещей для игр. Берите с собой игрушки и угощения, когда уходите из дома. Создавайте соответствующие возрасту правила вместе с ребенком. Вдумчиво выбирайте правила и не придумывайте слишком много правил.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You can create an environment in your home that saves you and your child from the needing to work on discipline unless it is necessary. By setting your home up so that it is safe and child-friendly, you will prevent having to create too many rules or say “no” too often throughout the day.  Use child-proofing devices to keep cupboards closed. Close doors to rooms where young children won’t be safe if they are on their own. Use child-proof barriers or gates to block unsafe areas like stairs. Young children love to play, and playing is important to their healthy development. You don’t need to have expensive toys – children can have a wonderful play time with cardboard boxes, inexpensive toys, or pots and pans. Sometimes the simplest things can spark children’s imagination, so if you cannot afford expensive toys, do not feel guilty. Children can misbehave when they are bored or hungry. Be sure that you leave home with toys your child enjoys playing with and with snacks that are healthy and appealing. Children who are four years old will probably enjoy being active participants in creating rules. Take the time to work with your child to make rules that are reasonable. This will help your child to have a clear sense of your expectations. Because they participated in creating the rules, they will be more willing to follow them and you will be helping them to learn self-control. Children this age will be overwhelmed if there are too many rules to remember. A four-year-old might ignore rules if there are too many, or could feel frustrated and act out that frustration trying to follow too many rules. Work with caregivers to help them understand the rules you and your child have agreed upon.


Создайте подходящую для работы обстановку. Запишите все задания по степени их важности. Сначала займитесь важными заданиями. Какая-то часть работы всегда должна быть под рукой. Не делайте несколько дел одновременно.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The environment you work in can help with your overall productivity. There are no strict rules about a work environment, so pick what feels right for you. Surround yourself with inspiring decorations that help you feel enthusiastic and passionate. These feelings will help you stay on task and be productive.  For example, maybe a particular artist inspires you. Invest in a few prints of their paintings and hang these up on your walls. If you can choose a particular space to work, choose a space free of distractions. Working in front of your television may be a bad idea, but maybe you can push a desk into the corner of your bedroom and work there. Before you begin your work load for the day, prioritize. To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. Group tasks in terms of importance.  Before making your list, write down categories in terms of important. For example, tasks labeled "urgent" must be done today. Tasks labeled "important, but not urgent" are important to do, but can wait. Tasks with labels like "low-priority" can be put off if necessary. List tasks under each category. For example, if you need to finish a report for work, that would be an urgent task. If you need to begin another work project, but the deadline is not for another two weeks, that would be an "important, but not urgent" task. If you would like to go for a run after work, but it's not vital, that would be a "low-priority" task. Finishing crucial tasks first thing in the morning will leave you with a sense of accomplishment. The day will already feel like a success and a great deal of your stress will be eliminated. Start off each day by knocking out the most important tasks on your list.  For example, if you have five e-mails you need to respond to and a report that must be proofread, do that as soon as you get into the office. Stop any unnecessary socializing before you start your priority tasks. Take advantage of your downtime by keeping work with you at all...

If cats do not have enough room to move around, scratch, and dig, they will seek another area for a litter box. Insert plant spikes, forks, chopsticks, or similar materials (approximately 10 inches (25 cm) in length) every 8 inches (20 cm) in the soil to thwart cats.  Make sure that the sticks or equivalent materials are inserted to a depth of a few inches into the soil so that they will stay upright. The points on these utensils are not sharp enough to cause any real damage, but they can be enough of a deterrent to discourage your feline friends from lounging about. Lay standard chicken wire (available from hardware stores) down before your plants poke through the soil. Plants can usually grow in between the gaps, but cats will find the texture of the wiring unpleasant to walk on. The chicken wire will be soft enough not to hurt the cats, but strong enough to discourage them from digging in your garden.  If the plants need additional room to grow, you can use wire cutters to cut larger holes directly above the plants needing more room. As an alternative to chicken wire, you can lay plastic sheeting designed for use in gardens. Lay the lattice fencing over your soil before you even plant your seeds. The gaps in the fencing will make the area unappealing to wandering cats.  Press the lattice fencing into the ground gently so that it is partially covered by the soil. Transplant seedlings and plant seeds into the soil exposed by the gaps of the fencing. Over time, many common garden plants should grow around the fencing without much difficulty. Cats will not like to dig in or play on rough surfaces. You can cover areas of your yard with a thin layer of safe materials like:  Rough-textured mulch Prickly pinecones Pebbles and stones " Scat mats (available at garden supply stores) are plastic mats covered in flexible plastic spikes. The spikes are soft enough not to hurt cats, but they will not like the texture and will keep away.  Depending on the brand, you will usually find the mats in packages of 2 to 5 mats....

and include it with your resume. Choose the best 10-20 photos you’ve taken and collect them together online, in a folder on your hard drive, or as a bound book. Choose photos with a unifying theme related to the job you’re applying for, such as sports, portraits, or food. Choose a portfolio format that will be convenient for your audience. It’s a good idea to send a hard copy of your resume to gallery owners or more traditional artists, in addition to your digitized version. This is especially important if you’re emailing your resume and portfolio to employers. Include them in the same PDF or Word file. Try different strategies, such as using the same font or background color for both. Try sprinkling your resume information among the photographs in your portfolio. Make sure the words are legible and that the overall effect isn’t messy or scattered. This will let employers see any other photographs that you couldn’t include in your portfolio and get an idea of your versatility and breadth. Click on the link to make sure it works, and clean up your website before you send the link, making sure that the pages navigate smoothly and have an aesthetically-pleasing format. Ask former clients to describe their working experience with you and ask if you can share their words in your portfolio. If you get 2-3 stunning testimonials, include them in your portfolio in a way that won’t distract from your photos, such as by using a small font or including them together at the beginning or end. If you get more testimonials than you can include in your resume or portfolio, include them on your website or remember the sentiments to share during an interview.


Создайте профессиональный аккаунт в социальных сетях. Ищите контактную информацию сотрудников отдела персонала. Свяжитесь с рекрутером или менеджером по подбору персонала.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Do an online search to find out what social media sites the company uses. Aim to create an account on the same site(s). Creating a professional social media account, like one on LinkedIn, can be a great way to network with people. When the time comes, you can use that network to get info about other businesses. Be sure to maintain your professional network even when you’re not searching for a job. Send a message to old coworkers once in a while to ask about them and stay in touch. This will make networking when you are searching for a job much easier. Once you’re interested in finding out whether a specific company is hiring, you can use this type of account to search for recruiters or hiring managers at the company, because they'll have the information you need. If you can't find the hiring manager or a recruiter specifically, look for employees at the company in the HR department. You can contact them and ask if they can point you in the right direction. It’s best to use this strategy only if you are using a professional social media site that’s designed for recruitment, such as LinkedIn. Employees may find it off-putting to get a message from a stranger looking for a job on sites like Facebook or Twitter. Once you’ve found a recruiter or hiring manager, send them a short message. Briefly outline your educational and work background and then ask if there are any open positions in your field. For example, you can write something like: “Dear Mr. Smith, I am interested in working for XYZ Plumbing, and I noticed that you are the hiring manager there. I am a certified plumber and have 6 years’ experience working as plumber for ABC plumbing, where I was promoted twice. I’d be very interested in knowing if your company has any current openings and how I might apply. Thank you very much for your time.”

Before installing a new vehicle, it's always a good idea to backup your save file. While you usually won't run into problems, save files can occasionally get corrupted. Make a copy of the save file in a safe location. You can find your save file in the game’s directory. You can download vehicles from a variety of locations, but you'll find the best compatibility with the mod installer if you download the vehicles from gta4-mods.com. Make sure that GTA 4 is not currently running. If GTA 4 is running, the mod installation will likely not work. This will allow you to install the car mod directly from the downloaded archive file. Click the Browse button towards the bottom of the window and navigate to the archive you just downloaded. Click Next after selecting the vehicle file. The installer will show the changes to the GTA 4 files it will be making. As long as there are green checkmarks for each entry, the file new car should install correctly. Click Next to continue. GTA 4 only supports a certain number of vehicle types. Select the vehicle in the game that you want to replace. Make sure that you don't select a boat to replace, or the car will appear underwater. Your newly-installed vehicle will spawn wherever the old vehicle would have. This means you usually just have to wait until you see one parked or in traffic. You can also use cheats to spawn the new vehicle, using the old vehicle's name.

Our bodies need to program down, in a sense. The rush of the day has us into human-sized Energizer bunnies and we can't just go from 60 to 0 in a heartbeat. Your routine should be whatever appeals to you, but it should be daily (to serve as a cue to your body) and take at least 15 minutes. The routine can consist of showering, drinking warm milk, listening to classical music, or doing relaxing exercises such as yoga or Pilates. If you read, make sure to read without any bright lights (more on that later). Designate your bedroom for sleeping only. Refrain from any strenuous activities right before, as this will inhibit comfortable sleep time. Bright lights can suppress the hormone melatonin, which can lead to sleeplessness and suppress the "tired" feeling. Try to turn off TV screens, laptop monitors and the like an hour before you want to go to sleep. The science behind it is that all these bright lights are messing with our body's internal clocks. When you're sitting in front of a computer, TV, and phone until 2 AM, your body has zero ideas as to what's going on; it could be 2 AM or 2 PM for all it knows. Turning off the lights lets your body realize, "Ahh, it's bedtime. Shutting down!" . It's a simple truth, but that doesn't mean it's any less important: sleeping enough will help you wake up earlier. What are yours? It's easier to wake up early if you've have the recommended amount of sleep during the night. Plan on getting:  7 to 9 hours of sleep for men.  8 to 9 hours of sleep for women.  9 to 10 hours of sleep for pregnant women.  10 to 12 hours of sleep for children and the elderly. Sleeping with the curtains half-open could help your body to stop producing melatonin while simultaneously ramping up production of adrenaline. This could help your body be ready to embrace the day by the time your alarm clock goes off.  You know how we just said light keeps you awake? Well, if you're asleep it awakens you. Crazy stuff, huh? The natural sunlight will be perceived by your body, even when you're asleep....

Customers expect businesses to have websites. You can use this to your advantage—not only to increase business but also to foster customer loyalty. Your website can be a great platform for you to communicate with your customers.  On a website you can let your customers know what you've been doing for them, promote  sales and specials, enable customers to sign up for rewards programs, and provide people a way to voice their concerns and offer their compliments. Besides having a website you might create a Facebook account and/or a Twitter account for your business. You can post  announcements and alerts about your business. Monitor your site(s) for customer feedback.   How do your customers respond to your postings and announcements? Are any customers writing positive reviews, or are they defending you against negative comments? Besides being able to learn more about your customers and what they want, you can send the most loyal customers personalized thank-you's through social media. Consider sending them discounts or coupons for their loyalty. People often use social media to follow businesses, usually in order to find discounts and special deals.   Use these tools to your advantage by giving your customers exactly what they want, which will make them more likely to remain loyal to you and your brand. Make sure that your website and social media platforms do more than just explain what your services are and where you are located. For example, if you have a big sale planned, announce it prominently on your website. If you use a web-analytics program on your website, you can learn important information about what your customers have shopped for, searched for, or browsed in the past, as well as learn what they're looking for now.  This can help you give your customers what they actually want as opposed to what you think they want. Obviously this will further your quest for customer loyalty.

These keys will allow you to connect to the remote location without having to enter your password each time. This is a much more secure way to connect to the remote computer, as the password will not have to transmitted over the network.  Create the key folder on your computer by entering the command $ mkdir .ssh  Create the public and private keys by using the command $ ssh-keygen –t rsa  You will be asked if you would like to create a passphrase for the keys; this is optional. If you don’t want to create a passphrase, press Enter. This will create two keys in the .ssh directory: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub Change your private key’s permissions. In order to ensure that the private key is only readable by you, enter the command $ chmod 600 .ssh/id_rsa Once your keys are created, you’re ready to place the public key on the remote computer so that you can connect without a password. Enter the following command, replacing the appropriate parts as explained earlier:  $ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub <username>@<remote>: Make sure to include the colon (:) at the end of the command. You will be asked to input your password before the file transfer starts. Once you’ve placed the key on the remote computer, you will need to install it so that it works correctly. First, log in to the remote computer the same way that you did in Step 3.  Create an SSH folder on the remote computer, if it does not already exist: $ mkdir .ssh  Append your key to the authorized keys file. If the file does not exist yet, it will be created: $ cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys  Change the permissions for the SSH folder to allow access: $ chmod 700 .ssh Once the key has been installed on the remote computer, you should be able to initiate a connection without being asked to enter your password. Enter the following command to test the connection: $ ssh <username>@<remote> If you connect without being prompted for the password, then the keys are configured correctly.

For smartphones, there should be an app or icon that has a picture of a phone or says "Phone".  Tap to view your contacts and/or tap the button to add a contact (this is usually indicated by a "+" symbol). Input your contact's information and phone number with the keypad and save. If you're using a classic phone, it's as easy as dialing the number and pressing a button that allows you to create a contact.  Some phones will have different tabs for your favourite numbers, recent calls, contacts, keypad, and voicemail. Read your phone's manual since each OS can vary slightly the way contacts are made. Android phones will differ from iPhones and Windows phones. This button is often indicated by green lettering or symbols. Proceed as with any other phone call.  End the call by pushing "end" which is indicated with red lettering or symbols. Calls will usually end automatically after the person you spoke to hangs up, but it's best to get into the habit of hanging up, especially since some calls are billed by the minute. You can view any missed or recent calls within the phone app on a smartphone or by looking through your menu on a classic phone. Details about who the call came from, when the call was made, and options to redial and save new contacts are available. Most phones will have a button that directly dials your voicemail box for you. If you can't find this button, holding "1" on your keypad will dial your voicemail number. Follow the system prompts to create your password, record your name announcement, and/or record your greeting.  If you don't want to record your own greeting, the system will use its own programmed greeting and personalize it using the name you recorded. You can change your password, name, and greeting anytime by dialling the voicemail number and following its menu prompts. When you receive a voicemail, your smartphone will alert you or display a notification. Tap the voicemail number or hold "1" to access your mailbox. Input your password and listen to your messages. Follow the prompts...

You should feel comfortable just sitting in the car regardless of whether or not it's moving. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Practice sitting in the car and becoming relaxed before you begin driving. Consider playing soothing music. It may help you overcome a sense of rising panic and can drown out the noise of other cars.  Even the most confident driver can become anxious if there are noisy passengers in the car. Make sure the car is quiet and free of trash or clutter. Increase your sense of safety in the car by making sure your car gets any needed repairs. If you begin to feel a panic attack come on or your neck and chest muscles tighten, begin breathing deep into your lungs. Inhale slowly through your nose with the focus of getting air to the bottom of your lungs. Let your belly expand and pause for a moment while you hold your breath. Slowly exhale and let your whole body relax. You can repeat this process 10 times counting backwards from ten on each exhale. Try to complete three sets of 10. Tighten and relax muscle groups in your body so that you become aware of how to hold and release tension. Begin by clenching your fists for 7-10 seconds. Release your fist for 15 to 20 seconds while you focus on how the tension is leaving the muscles in your hands. Repeat the exercise with other muscle groups, moving up your arms, to your head, then down the back of your body to your feet and toes. You can even practice PMR every day for 20 minutes even if you are not experiencing panic. This can improve your sense of control over your mood, reduce the frequency of panic attacks, and increase your concentration. . Affirmations are short positive statements that remind you that you can make changes. With driving, the type of affirmations that you might want to use include:  I am driving carefully and within the speed limit. Careful driving is safe driving. Driving is a common, everyday activity. I am an alert driver participating in a common activity with care. I do not have to drive fast. I can drive in the...

You may get lucky and only need to write three drafts to get it right. Or you may write twenty drafts before your novel rings true. The key is to keep writing drafts until you’re confident that the work feels ready to be shared with others.  After you've written your first draft, take a break from it for a few weeks, then sit back and read it as if you were one of your readers. Which parts need more explaining? Which parts are too long and boring? If you find yourself skipping over long chunks of your novel, your readers will, too. How can you make the novel more appealing to them by cutting down or revising these cumbersome parts? You may feel like the drafting process will never end, but it will! Stay positive and confident. Don’t start worrying about editing until you’ve written a solid draft of your novel. After that, focus on cutting paragraphs or sentences that aren't working, getting rid of any awkward or repetitive phrasing, and streamlining your prose. Basically, make sure your “feels right” draft is also a “looks right” draft!  If you typed your novel on a laptop, print it out and read it aloud. Cut or revise anything that just doesn't sound right. Don't get too attached to your writing—for example, a well-crafted paragraph that just isn't moving the story forward. Challenge yourself to make the right decision, and remember that you might be able to use the paragraph in a future novel! Begin by showing your draft to someone you completely trust, like a friend or loved one, so you can get used to the feeling of having others read your work. Since it isn't always easy to get honest feedback from people who love you and want to spare your feelings, move on to getting outside opinions from sources such as the following:  Start a writing group. If you know a few other people who are writing novels, arrange to meet with them to share progress and ask for tips. Join a writing workshop at a local college or writing center. You'll review other people's writing and receive notes on yours as well. Apply to an...

Lay down a yoga mat for stretching or yoga, or a rubber mat for weightlifting or more vigorous activities. Designate a corner of your room strictly for activities and you can make a mini studio complete motivational quotes or inspirational images for yoga. Instead of painting your entire room a dramatic colour or even a single wall, paint only small bits. For example, you can paint just the inside strip of your door or the sides of your dresser. While the colour may be subtle, the creative process will be fun. You can also add colour with decorations. You don’t have to paint if you add colourful stuffed animals or cool ornaments. Use washi tape around your room in creative designs or intricate patterns. You can purchase a variety of colours at your local arts and crafts store or your dollar store. Find inspiration online or simply add borders to pictures or posters. Fairy lights can be purchased online, your local hardware store, arts and crafts store, or even dollar store. Frame pictures or create designs with these easy to shape lights. Use hooks or tape to keep them in place.

It's important to meditate in a relaxing place that's free of distractions. Find a place in your home where it's relatively quiet and take steps to create a relaxing environment. This largely depends on personal preference. Some people like to make an altar using objects like seashells, stones, or flowers. Other people enjoy lighting candles. Gather objects that you find soothing to create the right space to meditate. Your space will grow naturally with time, so do not worry if it's not perfect right away. You will figure out what does and does not work for you as you begin meditating regularly. The literal translation for zazen is "seated meditation". How you sit is very important. What matters most is that you stay comfortable and keep your back straight. If you need to do something like cross your legs, or use pillows to prop up your back, do so. If you are very flexible, try the half Lotus Position (Hankafuza) or the Full Lotus Position (Kekkafuza). The Half Lotus is done by placing the left foot onto the right thigh and tucking the right leg under your left thigh. The Full Lotus is done by placing each foot onto the opposite thigh. If either positions are painful, however, avoid using them as they can be distracting. The positioning of your head is important for Zen meditation, as it's vital you do not do anything to strain your body. Hold your head in a position that feels natural and does not cause strain in your neck. Ideally, your spine should align with your neck. Imagine a straight line running up your spine. Move your neck so this imaginary line continues across your neck. Tucking in your chin helps align your spine and neck. Before you begin meditating, pause and be aware of any tensions you're feeling in your jaw and facial muscles. You may not notice the tension in your jaw until you pay attention to it specifically. Try to loosen your jaw and the muscles in your face in general before you begin meditating. If your jaw feels very tense, use your fingers to lightly massage your face to loosen up...

Duct tape comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns and can be ordered online or purchased from most craft or hardware stores. This method works especially well on messenger-style schoolbags since they provide a flat surface for easy application. Purchase different colored rolls of duct tape. Use scissors to cut strips that vary in length and/or thickness and simply stick to your bag. You can create a collage or geometric design.  Decorate a small section or cover your entire schoolbag. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips to create a checkerboard pattern, or alternate diagonal strips to make a chevron design. Cut-out shapes (triangles, circles, squares, etc.) by placing tape stick-side down on a self healing mat. Use a ruler and precision cutting tool, such as an exacto knife, to cut shapes. Gently lift off of mat using the tip of the blade and use your fingers to press evenly and firmly onto your schoolbag. You can use metallic (e.g. gold, silver, or copper) or colored glitter to add sparkly embellishments or designs to a plain schoolbag. You will need glitter (any color), a paintbrush, painter's tape, fabric glue, and newspaper. Use the painter's tape to tape-off the section of bag you want to add glitter to. This will help create clean, straight edges. Spread a thin, even layer of fabric glue over the taped-off area using the paintbrush. Pour glitter on glue and press gently so it adheres to the fabric. Shake-off excess glitter onto a newspaper for reuse. Add more glitter until you had a solid layer.  Let dry for several hours before removing tape. Glitter can get messy, so it might be better to do this outside or over a drop cloth or newspapers. This will make it easier to clean-up when you are done. If you need to wash your schoolbag, hand wash it separately in a sink and let air dry. Placing it in a washing machine may cause the glitter to fall off and stick to other clothes. You can make your own stencils or buy them from a craft store. Simply position the stencil in the desired location and...

When it comes to losing weight, there is no way to spot-treat, or only lose weight from 1 part of the body at a time. If you want to lose belly fat, you will need to lose overall weight by reducing your caloric intake.  Cut out about 500 to 750 calories daily from your diet. This small decrease in calories can help you lose about 1 to 1.5 pounds per week.  Aiming to lose more weight than this per week is generally not advised by health professionals. Use a food journal or online tracker to get an idea of how many calories you currently eat daily. Subtract 500 to 750 from that total to get an idea of how many calories you should consume daily to result in moderate weight loss. Studies have shown that following a lower carbohydrate diet can not only help you lose weight quickly, but specifically decrease the amount of stomach fat you have.  Fill up on 3 – 4 oz of lean protein at each meal (about the size of a deck of cards). Choose mostly non-starchy vegetables (like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, cauliflower or lettuce) and aim for a serving or 2 at each meal. Have 1 to 2 cups of leafy greens. Eat 1 to 2 servings of fruit daily. Fruit contains natural sugars and should be eaten in correct portion sizes — 1/2 cup for most fruits or 1 medium piece. Examples of lower carb meals include: mixed green salad with raw vegetables, 5 oz of grilled chicken and an oil-based dressing, 1 cup greek yogurt with nuts and 1/2 cup of fruit, or grilled salmon with a small salad and steamed broccoli. Foods like bread, rice and pasta can be a part of a healthy diet; however, these foods are significantly higher in carbohydrates than other foods. Limit these to help you stick to your lower calorie diet.  Foods to limit include bread, rice, pasta, crackers, chips, tortillas, English muffins, etc. Limit portion sizes to 1 oz or 1/2 cup. Do not avoid grains altogether. Choose grains with lots of nutrition and that will keep you full, like quinoa or oatmeal. In addition, aim to choose 100% whole grain options. These foods are...

It’s often helpful for letter writers to see a copy of the job posting as well as your cover letter if you have one. This helps them tailor the letter to the specific job and application. They’ll probably also appreciate seeing a copy of your resume, CV, portfolio, or other evidence of your work history as a refresher. You can actually guide your letter writer. Provide them with bullet points, or even sentences that can give them highlights to include in the letter. This helps them to write a strong one. For instance, if you had a job interview that kept mentioning how fast-paced the job is, give your employer a bulleted list of evidence showing your productivity, like “Completed 19 sales in two weeks. Consistently submitted reports ahead of schedule.” Most letters of reference have a fairly standard structure but going over this can be helpful for both you and your employer. Supply your letter writer with a rough outline or meet with them to come up with one together.  The first paragraph should introduce your employer, and explain how they know you. It should also describe how long they worked with you, and verify your job title. The second paragraph can discuss your skills and qualifications that are relevant to the specific job. If your employer has lots to say, they can include several paragraphs. The closing paragraph of the letters should enthusiastically summarize their support of you, and indicate whether they’re willing to follow up if the company you’re applying to has further questions. Sometimes letters are emailed, sometimes they’re sent via a web form, and sometimes they’re mailed. Make sure your employer knows the correct method, and has the proper address, as well as the deadline for submitting. After your letter writer is finished, it’s courteous to send a thank-you email or card, or to thank them in person. Tell them how much you appreciate their taking the time to write a letter on your behalf. You can also tell them that you value their support of your career. Keep them posted on how your...
