Problem: Article: Pick up the ear climber and locate its long, curved post. Place the tip of the post through your piercing and continue threading the post completely through your piercing. Once you thread the ear climber's post all the way through your piercing, flip the ear climber up. Flip the ear climber into the desired position. Your earlobe should be gripped between the post and the front of the ear climber. Gently squeeze the base of the ear climber with your forefinger and thumb. The ear climber should feel secure, but it should not be pinching your earlobe.
Summary: Thread the ear climber's post through your piercing. Flip up the ear climber. Secure the ear climber with a gentle squeeze.

Problem: Article: You need to calculate the determinant of the matrix as an initial step. If the determinant is 0, then your work is finished, because the matrix has no inverse. The determinant of matrix M can be represented symbolically as det(M). For a 3x3 matrix, find the determinant by first To review finding the determinant of a matrix, see Find the Determinant of a 3X3 Matrix. Transposing means reflecting the matrix about the main diagonal, or equivalently, swapping the (i,j)th element and the (j,i)th. When you transpose the terms of the matrix, you should see that the main diagonal (from upper left to lower right) is unchanged. Another way to think of transposing is that you rewrite the first row as the first column, the middle row becomes the middle column, and the third row becomes the third column. Notice the colored elements in the diagram above and see where the numbers have changed position. Every item of the newly transposed 3x3 matrix is associated with a corresponding 2x2 "minor" matrix. To find the right minor matrix for each term, first highlight the row and column of the term you begin with. This should include five terms of the matrix. The remaining four terms make up the minor matrix. In the example shown above, if you want the minor matrix of the term in the second row, first column, you highlight the five terms that are in the second row and the first column. The remaining four terms are the corresponding minor matrix. Find the determinant of each minor matrix by cross-multiplying the diagonals and subtracting, as shown. For more on minor matrices and their uses, see Understand the Basics of Matrices. Place the results of the previous step into a new matrix of cofactors by aligning each minor matrix determinant with the corresponding position in the original matrix. Thus, the determinant that you calculated from item (1,1) of the original matrix goes in position (1,1). You must then reverse the sign of alternating terms of this new matrix, following the "checkerboard" pattern shown. When assigning signs, the first element of the first row keeps its original sign. The second element is reversed. The third element keeps its original sign. Continue on with the rest of the matrix in this fashion. Note that the (+) or (-) signs in the checkerboard diagram do not suggest that the final term should be positive or negative. They are indicators of keeping (+) or reversing (-) whatever sign the number originally had. For a review of cofactors, see Understand the Basics of Matrices. The final result of this step is called the adjugate matrix of the original. This is sometimes referred to as the adjoint matrix. The adjugate matrix is noted as Adj(M). Recall the determinant of M that you calculated in the first step (to check that the inverse was possible). You now divide every term of the matrix by that value. Place the result of each calculation into the spot of the original term. The result is the inverse of the original matrix. For the sample matrix shown in the diagram, the determinant is 1. Therefore, dividing every term of the adjugate matrix results in the adjugate matrix itself. (You won't always be so lucky.) Instead of dividing, some sources represent this step as multiplying each term of M by 1/det(M). Mathematically, these are equivalent.
Summary: Check the determinant of the matrix. Transpose the original matrix. Find the determinant of each of the 2x2 minor matrices. Create the matrix of cofactors. Divide each term of the adjugate matrix by the determinant.

Problem: Article: Poor body image tends to come from three main sources: peers, parents, and standards of beauty that come from the media. All of these sources are external. So, try not to compare and contrast yourself with others, as that's a sure way to downplay your own attractiveness. Instead, focus on your own definition of beauty and the characteristics that make you beautiful. If no one is around to see you, develop your confidence by walking around the house naked for a little while. If there are other people in the house, get in a little naked time by doing some of your post-shower hygiene routine before putting your clothes on. If you have someone you are romantically intimate with, ask him or her to spend some time being naked with you. Over time, you'll grow an appreciation for your natural body. Even when you're naked, most people will notice your face first. Your expression there will set the context for everything else they see, so give them a winning smile and show off your confidence. Add good eye contact, and you'll look irresistible. To ensure a good smile and good breath, floss and brush your pearly whites. You might look for toothpaste approved by the American Dental Association. Rinsing with mouthwash will help as well. Make sure your eyes look great by getting plenty of rest at least a few nights before. Also consider trying out brightening eye drops, but consult an eye doctor first. Certain eye drops can actually constrict blood vessels. Chances are, people who see you naked aren't thinking what you think they're thinking, regardless of gender. Research suggests that men, as much as women, want to feel attractive during intimate moments. Fake it 'til you make it. No one is 100% satisfied with how they look. So, everyone who's confident in their naked selves is faking it to a certain extent and in a healthy way. Why not you too? Don't apologize. Avoid drawing attention to anything negative or anything you might perceive as negativeverbally or even mentally, as much as you can avoid it. And never apologize for the way you look!
Summary: Appreciate your own beauty. Practice feeling comfortable naked. Smile and make eye contact. Worry less about what the other person's thinking.
