Q: Vacuum breakers prevent contaminated water in your irrigation system from washing back up into your home's water supply. Screw the vacuum breaker onto your outdoor faucet, and attach your irrigation tubing to the opposite side of the vacuum breaker. Vacuum breaker are cylindrical metal tubes that screw into your home's outdoor faucet at the top. You can buy vacuum breakers from most garden centers or home improvement stores. Position 12in (1.3cm) poly tubing along the areas that you plan to water with the irrigation system. Cut the tubing with pruning shears when you have reached the end length of your system or areas where you will need to make angles. Let your tubing sit in the sun for several hours before using it to make it more flexible and easier to work with. You can buy poly tubing from most hardware or home improvement stores. If you want your system to turn at an angle, cut the tubing with pruning shears and press its end into a 90-degree fitting, twisting it in place. Attach the other end of the 90-degree fitting to the opposite half of the tubing to continue laying out your system. Buy 90-degree fittings online or from most home improvement stores. You can also use T-fittings as an alternative using the same method. A T-fitting is a tube that bends at a slight angle to accommodate turns in your irrigation layout. Hook the top of the ground stake over the tubing and pin it to the ground. This will prevent the tubing from moving around when you turn on the water. Look for ground stakes at a home improvement store or garden center. When you've laid out all of the tubing, turn on the water for a few minutes to flush out the dirt from the system. Slide a tubing clamp the approximate size of the tubing around the end of the system to crimp it shut and avoid waterlogging an area of your yard. Turn off the water before clamping your tubing shut. Tubing clamps are small, oval-shaped metal clips that secure open tubing ends. You can buy these clamps from most hardware or home improvement stores.
A: Attach a vacuum breaker to the outdoor faucet and irrigation tubing. Spread the irrigation tubing around your yard based on your layout plans. Use 90-degree fittings to make bends in the layout, if needed. Install a ground stake every 12 feet (0.300.61m) to pin the tubing in place. Close the tubing shut with a tubing clamp.

Q: It is generally safe to gain 12 pounds (0.450.91kg) per week. To reach this goal, add an extra 500 calories to your diet every day. The healthiest way to do this is to eat more nutrient-dense foods. To keep track of what you're eating, use a health app, such as MyFitnessPal. Write down everything you eat and how much exercise you do. Once a week, record your weight. Talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian to determine your ideal weight. You can also calculate your healthy weight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator. For most people, a healthy BMI falls between 18.5-24.9. Eat a second helping of food or add more food to your plate when you begin. If you're finding it hard to eat a larger meal, skip snacks so that you have more of an appetite at mealtime. If eating a double portion is too much, try increasing the portion over time. Start with an extra scoop of rice or add a sweet potato on the side. As time goes on, slowly add more food to your meal. For some people, eating larger portion sizes may not be an appealing option. Instead of increasing portion sizes, try to eat 6 smaller meals throughout the day. These meals can include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 3 snacks. As a general rule, eat once every 3-4 hours pass while awake. Liquids can fill you up, making it harder for you to finish a full meal. Wait until after you have finished eating to get a drink. If you eat a snack or small meal before bed, your body won't have a chance to burn it off before you sleep. Additionally, the body builds more muscle during sleep. Eating a snack before bed supplies your body with the nutrients it needs to build more lean muscle as you sleep. If you enjoy dessert, save it for bedtime. You might eat a bowl of fruit, a serving of ice cream, or a few pieces of chocolate. If you prefer savory foods, try eating a bowl of pasta or cheese and crackers. There are many things you can do to feel hungrier before eating. These tricks can help you eat more at a meal. Some easy ways to increase your appetite include: Take a short walk before meals. Exercise can help you feel hungrier. Prepare foods that you enjoy. Make your favorite comfort food to encourage yourself to eat it all. Try new recipes. This can help you feel more excited about trying your meal. Eat in a calm, comfortable atmosphere. If you're tense or distracted, you may not want to eat as much.
A: Consume an additional 500 calories per day. Increase your portion size. Eat several small meals if you don't like larger meals. Avoid drinking 30 minutes before a meal. Indulge in a snack before bed. Stimulate your appetite before eating meals.

Q: Direct eye contact indicates interest in what the other person is saying and showcases that you care and are listening. Eye contact can also indicate desire for or interest in another person, particularly if you smile while looking at them. Always maintain eye contact with your love interest. Don't stare for too long, however. This might be offputting to her. When the two of you are speaking, find ways to reach out and touch her slightly. Don't do anything overt or intense, but instead place your hand on her shoulder for a few seconds. Also, if she has something on her face like an eyelash, you can offer to get it off, but always ask first. Women, and people in general, respond positively to those who are confident. Don't approach her stammering over your words or twiddling your fingers. Instead, stroll up cooly and calmly and then proceed to talk to her. Take a few deep breaths to calm down before you approach her if you are nervous. Practice your approach in the mirror. One of the easiest ways to talk to any woman is by making her laugh. Most people enjoy a good joke or a humorous person, so try a few funny stories on her or come up with something funny in the moment to get her attention. You might make fun of something like the cafeteria lunch or make a joke about something funny a coworker did to make her laugh. Women also tend to respond positively to being complimented. Find something about her that you like in particular and compliment her on it. While it is nice to receive compliments on your physical appearance, it can also be nice to be complimented on aspects of your character or your work. You might say something like "I noticed some of your artwork the other day and it's phenomenal!" As you begin the process of flirting with her, make sure you are also working to actively get to know her, as well. Ask her questions about herself and her life to begin developing a bigger picture of who she is as a person. Make sure you don't ask questions that are too personal if you don't know her well, however. Maybe ask things like what she does for fun or her favorite book or movie. This will also help you determine whether or not you officially want to ask her out.
A:
Make eye contact. Touch her occasionally. Be confident. Make her laugh. Compliment her. Get to know her.
