In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place the middle of a koshihimo across your belly just above your hip bones. Wrap the band around yourself and cross the ends behind your back. Then bring them to the front and tie a tight single knot. Koshihimo are thin bands that hold the fabric in place; typically, 2 are used to secure a yukata. Unlike the ornamental obi sash, koshihimo are hidden. One is tucked away under extra fabric, and the obi goes on top of the other. Straighten out the collar and make sure the garment is tightly wrapped. Then fold extra fabric over the koshihimo to hide it. Be sure to tuck away the koshihimo in both the front and back. Double check that the fold you made over the first koshihimo is straight and the yukata is snugly wrapped. To secure the top of the garment, tie another koshihimo just below your rib cage. The obi will cover this koshihimo, so there's no need to fold fabric over it.
Summary: Tie a thin koshihimo band around your lower waist. Tuck extra fabric over the first koshihimo. Tie a second koshihimo around your upper waist.

Instead of reacting defensively when someone attacks your point of view, take a moment to collect your thoughts. Determine what you want to say before you say it. Remember, you don't have to defend your point of view to anyone. Your views are equally right and important. Use "I" statements. This will help to diffuse a potentially bad situation. For example, "I am feeling attacked right now. I would appreciate it if I could have a moment to collect my thoughts." Even if you are resentful because you feel like religion is often forced upon you, don't stoop to the same level. If "bullying" tactics don't work in convincing you that you should be religious, don't expect the reverse to work with others. If you are resentful towards religion, consider that much of your resentment probably stems from people attempting to force their beliefs on you. Think of how you'd like to be treated if the situation was reversed. Allow others the opportunity to speak. Otherwise, you'll come across as aggressive, which will likely lead to conflict. Don't try to determine whose point of view is right, especially when dealing with something as deeply personal as religious belief. Attempting to resolve who is right and who is wrong will only prove futile. Focus on explaining what you believe and why in a calm, reasoned manner. If you've been going back and forth, put an end to the conversation, at least for the time being. You may want to say, "It seems like we've been going back and forth on this issue for awhile. I respect your opinion and I hope you can respect mine, but I think we should agree to disagree." Don't bring up the subject again unless there is new information to cover. Remember, everyone, regardless of their beliefs, assumes they are right. You're not going to convince someone otherwise in one conversation. Having a lively discussion with someone who hopes to convert you can help to clarify your thoughts and learn more about others' beliefs. Getting into a heated debate or outright argument with someone who is never going to budge, however, won't achieve anything positive. Give them an opportunity to speak. Once they have finished their thought, thank them for their time. Give a measured, calm response, or none at all if you so choose. If the person is a friend let them know you value their friendship, but feel uncomfortable by them trying to convert you. If they keep trying to convert you, you may need to reconsider the friendship. If the person shows up at your door, don't just slam it in their face. Let them say what they came to say, take any materials they offer you and thank them for their time. If things get too heated, simply walk away. There is no shame in leaving a conversation that isn't going anywhere. You can always choose to resume the discussion at another time if you choose, but you need not do so if you see no point in trying again. Let them know you're ending the conversation. You can say "I am feeling disrespected right now and am going to take myself out of this situation." Walk away and give yourself some time to cool down. If you think of another point you'd like to make, don't put yourself back into a bad situation. Send an email or ask if you can discuss the topic with the person at a later time.

One-sentence summary -- Stay calm and don't get defensive. Don't try to force your point of view on others. Agree to disagree. Don't argue with someone trying to convert you to their religious beliefs. Walk away when a calm discussion is not possible.

Q: Premenstrual symptoms (PMS) are caused by hormonal changes in your body and they typically occur in the days immediately before your period starts. Some girls experience severe premenstrual symptoms, while other girls do not notice any symptoms at all. The severity of your premenstrual symptoms might also change as you get older. There is no guarantee that you will experience any of these symptoms before your first period, but if you do experience them, there is a good chance that your period is coming! Many girls experience a soreness, tenderness, or swollen feeling in their breasts right before their periods. If you notice this, you should expect your period to come soon. Some girls also experience emotional changes in the days leading up to their periods. It is different for everyone, but you might feel unusually sad, angry, or irritable. These feelings will typically go away in a few days. Acne can occur at any time, so it is not necessarily a sign that your period is coming. However, if you notice a sudden increase in the amount of breakouts you have over a short period of time, it may mean that you will get your period in the next few days. You may experience cramping in your lower abdomen or lower back or a bloated feeling in your stomach right before and/or during your period. These symptoms can range from mild to severe, and they may not be the same every month. If you experience severe cramps that interfere with your daily activities, you may want to treat them with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Exercise and heating pads can also help reduce your cramps. Talk to your doctor if the cramps are severe and not improved by taking over-the-counter medications.
A: Understand premenstrual symptoms. Be aware of breast tenderness. Watch out for moodiness. Look for acne. Notice cramps.

Problem: Article: The American Academy of Micropigmentation and the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals provide microblading certification to much of the English-speaking world. As such, look for training classes approved by at least one of the two boards, meaning they follow the organization's official regulations and are run by a society-certified instructor. The SPCP and AAM maintain lists of certified trainers on their official websites. Due to microblading's boom in popularity, lots of for-profit training classes have popped up around the world. Avoid classes that are under 100 hours long or make no mention of the AAM or SPCP. Though some of these classes provide accurate training, many are scams and few will get you closer to official certification. Scam courses are often less than 6 days long, extremely cheap, or advertise the inclusion of a free microblading kit. After finding a good class, enroll with the instructor, pay any required fees, and attend. Expect to work for at least 100 hours with the time divided into class study, homework, live practice, and teacher demonstrations. If AAM and SPCP trainers do not live in your area, travel will most likely be required. Most full courses cost between $4000 and $5000. Expect to take off work for about 1 week in order to attend. Make sure this documentation includes how many hours you worked and has your instructor's official signature. In addition, with the model or patient's consent, make sure you take photos of any live work completed. This is essential for both the AAM and SPCP exams, which require proof that you completed 100 hours of training.
Summary:
Look for classes approved by the AAM or SPCP. Avoid classes that provide less than 100 hours of training. Enroll in and attend the training class. Get official documentation that shows you attended and passed the class.
