article: Soak a cotton ball with nail polish remover and gently rub the cotton ball on the surface of the nail. Keep rubbing until you see that the polish is completely removed. You may need to use a bit of pressure to remove the polish entirely. Grab a bowl or plastic container large enough to place both of your feet inside. Fill it with warm water, taking care that it is not too hot that you could burn yourself. Stir in a cup of Epsom salts, which can be obtained at any grocery store in your area. Take a minute to enjoy the warmth of the water on your feet and relax. A pumice stone is used to gently slough off rough spots, making your feet nice and soft. Hold it firmly in one hand and use your free hand to hold your foot. Rub the pumice stone gently in one direction over any rough spots or calluses. You can use some pressure but it is not necessary to use a lot; the surface of the stone will take care of removing the rough skin. When finished with the pumice stone, rub your favorite softening lotion into your feet and legs to create soft, silky skin. Squirt a quarter-sized amount of lotion into the palm of your hands, then rub your hands together and begin applying the lotion to your legs. Rub your skin until the lotion has absorbed into the skin. Use a cuticle trimmer to cut off hangnails and dead skin around the beds of the nails. A cuticle trimmer will allow you to eliminate the dead skin without damaging the live tissue. Use with caution, as these are very sharp tools. Snip hangnails, which are the bits of dead skin that hang off the area of skin close the bed of the nail. Cut as close to the base of the hangnail as possible without damaging the live skin. Trim any cuticles that are beginning to lift away from the nail bed. These are generally lighter in color than your natural skin and can be easily noticeable. Be careful not to cut too deep with the cuticle trimmer, as you could end up bleeding. If this happens, put pressure on the area for a few minutes and and apply a bandage.

article: Looking at a complex number (a+bi) should remind you of binomials from Algebra or Algebra 2. Remember that to multiply binomials, you need to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second. A shorthand version for doing this, is the F-O-I-L rule, which stands for "First, Outer, Inner, Last." For an example of (a+b)(c+d), apply this rule as follows: First. The F in FOIL means that you multiply the first term of the first binomial by the first term of the second binomial. For the sample, this would be a*c. Outer. The O in FOIL tells you to multiply the "outer" terms. These are the first term of the first binomial and the second term of the second binomial. For the sample, this would be a*d. Inner. The I in FOIL means to multiply the "inner" terms. These would be the two terms that appear in the middle, which are the second term of the first binomial and the first term of the second binomial. In the given example, the inner terms are b*c. Last. The L in FOIL represents the last terms of each binomial. For the sample expression, this would be b*d. Finally, add all four products together. The result for the sample binomial multiplication of (a+b)(c+d) is ac+ad+bc+bd. To multiply two complex numbers, set them up as the product of two binomials and apply the FOIL rule. For example, the product of the two complex numbers (3+2i)*(5-3i) works as follows: First. The product of the first terms is 3*5=15. Outer. The product of the outer terms is 3*(-3i). This product is -9i. Inner. The product of the two inner terms is 2i*5. This product is 10i. Last. The product of the last terms is (2i)*(-3i). This product is -6i2. Recognize that i2 equals -1, so the value of -6i2 is -6*-1, which is 6. After applying the FOIL rule and finding the four independent products, combine them together to find the result of the multiplication. For the sample (3+2i)*(5-3i), the parts combine to give 15-9i+10i+6. The result of the FOIL rule multiplication should yield two real number terms and two imaginary number terms. Simplify the result by combining like terms together. For the sample 15-9i+10i+6, you can add the 15 and 6 together and add the -9i and the 10i together. The result will be 21+i. Find the product of the two complex numbers (3+4i)(-2-5i). The steps for this multiplication are: (3)(-2)=-6 (First) (3)(-5i)=-15i (Outer) (4i)(-2)=-8i (Inner) (4i)(-5i)=-20i2=(-20)(-1)=20 (Lasts) -6-15i-8i+20 = 14-23i (Combine terms and simplify)

When you're just starting a meditation practice, it's best to go somewhere with minimal distractions. Being out in nature can be tranquil, or you might find a secluded part of your home. Try to find the best time of day. Early morning typically is a good time to meditate, and you can carry the peace with you throughout the day. It's also usually quiet at that time. When you first start, you may find it helpful to have some soft music playing in the background, or listening through earphones. You also can search online for guided meditation tracks that are designed to help you focus when you're new to the practice. Raja yoga meditation is done from a seated position. A simple cross-legged position is fine, or you can even sit in a chair if you need that support. Just make sure you're comfortable and that you feel stable. When in cross-legged position, press your hip bones down and reach up through the crown of your head. Your shoulders should drop down your back with your chest opened. Make sure your spine is neutral. Don't arch your back or lean back or forward. It may help to place a folded blanket or rolled towel behind or under you to help with your posture and make you more comfortable. Raja yoga traditionally is done with your eyes open. When you're just starting, however, you may need to close your eyes so that you can center your mind. Try to keep your eyes open at first, then close them if you're having difficulty or get distracted too easily. You will get better at it the more you practice. It can help to light a candle and focus your eyes on the flame. Turn your attention to your breathing, or to your other point of focus, such as a candle in front of you. Allow your thoughts to pass without judgement. Particularly when you're just starting, your mind will probably try to throw all kinds of things at you. As you relax, things may come to mind that you'd forgotten throughout the day. Simply acknowledge those thoughts and return to your breath or point of focus. Observe without judging or criticizing yourself or your mind. Don't fault or blame yourself if it takes you awhile to get settled. Once you get settled, if another thought comes, have patience. Acknowledge the thought and allow the thought to pass, and then return to your breath or point of focus. As your thoughts start to flow, set an intention for your practice. Let that thought be your awareness as you sit in meditation. It could be related to some struggle you're currently having, or just a general affirmation. For example, your thought might be "I am a peaceful soul." Try to empty your mind to the point that this is the only thought that exists. Your thought may be more directed to your personal circumstances. For example, if you are currently undergoing some uncertainty, such as turmoil at work, you might make your thought something like "my well-being is not attached to any outcome." As you fall deeper into a meditative state, your thought will bloom into a feeling that radiates through your entire being. Your understanding and feelings will combine to produce a profound sense of realization. For example, if your original thought was "I am a peaceful soul," you can nurture that thought by repeating things such as "I am a peaceful soul...I am a peaceful being...Peace is my original nature." When your meditation is over, try to hold on to the inner peace you found during meditation as you go through your day. If you feel the peace slipping away, take a few moments if you can for a brief meditation to re-center yourself. Over time and with practice, you will awaken into a more profound state of well-being. You will be able to focus and concentrate better because you are centering and grounding yourself through your practice. If you feel stressed or overwhelmed during the day, try to find a place where you can retreat, even if only for a minute. Take several deep breaths and focus on your breathing until you find your inner calm.
