Q: Don't bother to invite people if they don't appeal to you or you have no intention of growing close with them. Choosing good guests may enable you to be a better host. Consider also how well the guests will get along with each other. Try not to invite people that you know won't mesh well, or that have a history of winding up at each other's throats. It is important to know when to expect your guest/s. Make sure to give them plenty of advance notice at least a week, and even more if the occasion is very important. Assume that they will also need to work around their own schedules. Don't tell them to come "sometime" if you really want them to show up. Tell them specifically when to come so that it feels more like an invitation. A range of times is also okay, but it should be no longer than a few hours. If your guests show up late, try to make them feel welcome. Do not sulk for the rest of the evening, or you may compound the problem. Just continue laughing and ignore the fact they were late. Telling your guests in advance is just a matter of courtesy. If they know what to expect, it will be much easier for them to plan their schedules around it. When you decide on the food you will be serving, consider your guests' food concerns. Always contact them beforehand and ask if they have any allergies or food specifications. Inviting a vegetarian over for dinner and preparing a roast would be embarrassing for both of you. Be sure to cook something that you're comfortable cooking. Don't just say, "Do you have any preference for the meal?" Instead, ask your guests to name specifics. Say, "I'm planning the meal for Friday night. Do you have any allergies or food restrictions that I need to be aware of?" Don't go out of your way to prepare a main course which takes days to make. A good guest will appreciate any decent meal that tastes good. lean house. Before your guests arrive, tidy up the space to convey that you care. If they arrive in a messy household, it shows you do not care for your surroundings, and it may make them feel less welcome in your home. Put away toys, tools, and clutter. Remove allergens by vacuuming carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture. If you have a dog that tends to greet, bark at or jump on guests when they come through the door, put it in another room. Some people are scared of dogs and intimidated even by their approach. Some are allergic. If you have pets, find out beforehand whether your guests have any fears or allergies. If they are allergic, give them a heads up so they can take medication to help better handle the situation. Once your guests arrive, open the door and show them where to put their things. Show them the bathroom on the way in before taking them to the living room and offering them a seat. Never leave them hanging at the front door; don't expect them to follow you if you don't say anything. If you still have things to prepare, engage with your guests whilst organizing what you have left. By now, you should have finished tidying the area, so that you have only the food to finish. Have your family or a housemate engage the guests so that you can finish preparing the rest of the food. Keep finger food on the coffee table in the living room to whet everyone's appetites. Ask your guests if they would like a drink. Offer them at least two options whatever you think is most suitable for the event. The options could range between coffee, tea, water, beer, and wine. Don't rush. Move casually otherwise you will let your guests think they have become a burden for you. After you have finished dinner and are eating dessert, offer your guest something to wash down the meal. Depending on the mood and energy of the gathering, consider coffee, tea, or an alcoholic digestif. Sit and talk on the couch with a drink. Talk about things that they want to talk about. Ask questions about their work, their travels, their families. Don't complain about how your child was sick all week or how you are having family issues. Show interest in what your guest has to say. Build on the conversation and let it flow. Business can be a good subject, but be careful with whom you bring it up. Many people like to separate their work from their social lives. Take cues from your guests, and don't try to force any topic. If they want to leave, ask them to stay a bit longer since you have enjoyed their company. Tell them it has been a lovely time, and you are keen to see them again. If you noticed that they enjoyed part of the meal in particular, consider giving a portion of it to them. Tell them you won't need it; say that it's a pleasure to see someone enjoy your food.
A: Invite people who you like and trust. Specify a time. Take guest preferences and food allergies into account. . Be welcoming. Have all of the food ready (or on the way) when your guests arrive. Offer an after-dinner drink. Engage your guests in conversation. Make your guests feel appreciated.

Q: This method is similar to the stick method, but it's more reliable partly because it uses a longer observation time, but mostly because it uses equal times before and after local noon. Locate flat ground and collect your tools: A stick or pole that's two to five feet long One small sharp stick Two small rocks Something like a long string This must be done before noon. Wherever the shadow of the pole ends, place a rock. Tie the sharp stick to one end of the string, and the other end of the string to the pole, making sure it's just long enough to reach the rock on the ground. With this method it is important that the top of the stick, the part that casts the shadow, is directly over the part of the stick that is in the ground. With the rock as your starting point, use the sharp stick that's attached to the pole to draw the circle in the ground around the pole. When the shadow from the pole finally touches this circle again, mark the point where it connected with the other rock. The straight line that connects the first rock with the second rock is the true eastwest line, where the first rock represents west and the second rock represents east. To find north and south from this point, north will be ninety degrees clockwise from west, and south will be ninety degrees clockwise from east.
A: Assemble your tools. Put the long pole in the ground. Attach the string to the stick and pole. Draw a circle around the pole. Wait. Connect the dots.

Q: Individuals suffering from a broken femur are encouraged to try exercises that may aid in strengthening the femur and restore its normal function. These exercises can be utilized to divert sensations of pain and regulate proper circulation of blood to different parts of the body, including the affected parts around the femur. You should discuss the suitability of all exercises with your physical therapist before trying them. Generally, the following exercises must be performed 3 times a day, provided that they do not contribute to increased pain: Doing hip and knee bends will increase the flexibility of your quadriceps and hamstrings, helping to restore mobility and function. Lie on a flat surface with the head elevated 30 to 45 degrees on a pillow. As far as is possible and comfortable, bend the affected knee towards the chest. Return to your starting position. Repeat this 10 to 20 times provided that there is no pain increase. This is a low-stress exercise that is good as a starting point for strengthening. Lie on a flat surface with a towel under the affected leg. Start by tightening the front thigh muscles (quadriceps) by pushing the knee in a downward motion into the towel. Hold for 5 seconds. Place the middle and pointer finger on the inner quadriceps in order to feel the tightening of muscles. This will make sure that proper tightening is accomplished. Repeat tightening the front thigh muscles and holding them for 5 seconds for 10 repetitions. Exercise and muscle movement promotes good blood circulation and oxygen distribution to the affected area. This will speed up the repair of the damaged tissue around the femur. This is because oxygen is essential for maintaining cellular integrity, function, and repair when tissues are injured. Most femoral fractures take four to six months to completely heal. Even with proper treatment, the length of recovery will depend on the severity of the fracture and the presence of other injuries to the body.
A:
Try physical therapy to regain your strength after surgery. Do hip and knee bends to strengthen the muscles. Try static quadriceps contraction. Know that exercise will help the healing process.
