Article: This may seem counter-intuitive to an article on having a healthy sex life, but consider this: if 2/3s of teenagers are engaging in sex, that means 1/3 are not. Also, abstinence does not mean not feeling sexual: it means not having sex. If this is the choice you and your partner have made, then do not be ashamed of it. Neither should you be ashamed to have sexual urges with your partnerit would be unnatural not to. There are some things you can do to help calm those urges, and still share the kinds of intimacies that people in love share: If his (or her) wandering hands land where you don't want them, don't just try to block the move with your body language: move them away with your own hands, and say "No, I'm not ready for that." They should get the idea immediately, and respect you enough to stop that approach. It's completely natural to feel desire, but it's not required that you act on that. If you find yourself suddenly overwhelmed with passion, but are committed to remaining chaste for now, simply back off a bit and say something like "wow, that's hot, but I'm not ready to go further right now. Let's go watch a movie." If your partner doesn't understand, or is insistent, don't be surprised: they may not be quite as ready to stop as you are, and might be a little confused and flustered. However, if they remain insistent, or demanding, or even attempt emotional blackmail such as "If you loved me you would keep going," send them home to cool down, and re-think if you want to be in that situation with them again. Surprisingly, abstinence actually has a higher failure rate than condoms in preventing STDs and pregnancy. This doesn't mean you can get pregnant from kissing, of course. What this means is that a large number of abstaining teens lose their resolve and have some form of sex in the heat of the moment, often without protection. Educate yourself about pregnancy and STDs. Understanding these risks can help you stick to your plan, or run out and buy a condom if you change your minds.

Refrain from having sex. Enjoy the make-out session but keep your limits firmly in place. Break off the make-out session if it gets too hot for either of you to handle. Understand the risks.
Article: You'll be greeted with a blank project. The code below will make your Arduino continuously move forward. #include <Servo.h> // this adds the "Servo" library to the program // the following creates two servo objects Servo leftMotor; Servo rightMotor; void setup() { leftMotor.attach(12); // if you accidentally switched up the pin numbers for your servos, you can swap the numbers here rightMotor.attach(13); } void loop() { leftMotor.write(180); // with continuous rotation, 180 tells the servo to move at full speed "forward." rightMotor.write(0); // if both of these are at 180, the robot will go in a circle because the servos are flipped. "0" tells it to move full speed "backwards." } Click the right arrow button in the upper-left corner to build and upload the program to the connected Arduino. You may want to lift the robot off of the surface, as it will just continue to move forward once the program is uploaded. Add the following code to the "void loop()" section of your code to enable the kill switch, above the "write()" functions. if(digitalRead(2) == HIGH) // this registers when the button is pressed on pin 2 of the Arduino { while(1) { leftMotor.write(90); // "90" is neutral position for the servos, which tells them to stop turning rightMotor.write(90); } }

Start the Arduino IDE by double-clicking the arduino.exe file in the IDE folder. Paste the following code to make your robot go straight. Build and upload the program. Add the kill switch functionality.
Article: For a lasso, the exact length of rope you use isn't important, provided you have enough length to tie your knot, form the loop, and twirl it above your head. Any extra length can be coiled up and carried with you. For adults, about 30 feet (9.1m) of rope is plenty; for children, shorter may be better. If you're just practicing, nearly any type of rope will suffice. However, if you intend to actually use your lasso, you'll want a thin, tough, somewhat stiff rope. Stiffness makes the rope a little harder to tie. However, it's a desirable quality because it allows you to "push" the rope to make adjustments to the size of your loop.
