Article: You can build a strong foundation for a career in toxicology by taking as many science courses as you can in high school, including biology, chemistry, and physics. Related subjects like computer science will also help develop your interests and skills. Don't neglect courses in communication, writing, and foreign language. These will give you a good foundation for college-level work, and serve you well when you are a professional toxicologist and have to share your work with peers and the public. Taking part in extracurricular activities like science fairs, Science Olympiad, or part-time work in a lab is also valuable preparation. Ask a teacher or other mentor for ideas about how you can get involved. Most colleges and universities don't have degrees in toxicology. Instead, work on a major in a field like biology, pharmacy, chemistry, veterinary sciences, food sciences, or soil sciences. Whatever your major, take as many courses as you can in fields like: Organic chemistry Physics Computer science Statistics Advanced math (calculus) Biology Chemistry Writing and/or Communication While studying for your degree, you should seek out opportunities to deepen your knowledge of toxicology, network with others in the field, and boost your resume. Working with a professor to develop an extensive research project, collaborating with others in a lab, and completing an internship are all great ways to accomplish this. The Society of Technology sponsors summer internships, so check its website for information on opportunities you can apply for. You can also ask professors for ideas about special projects, or contact labs directly about the possibility of working as an intern. Most toxicologists have Ph.Ds, and a smaller number of them have master's degrees. Very few have only a bachelor's degree. If you are serious about becoming a toxicologist, you will have more opportunities if you pursue an advanced degree. While earning your Ph.D, you will take coursework, collaborate in labs, and develop a research project in your area of interest, culminating in a written dissertation describing your findings. Look for graduate programs in toxicology or a related area. Choose a program based on its overall strength, but also its expertise in the area you want to study. For instance, if you are interested in the toxicology of pharmaceutical drugs, make sure that the graduate programs you apply to have labs and/or professors who are also working on this topic. Learn about the financial support available for graduate programs. Typically, graduate programs are funded by scholarships, teaching assistantships, research assistantships, or a combination of these. Take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) about nine months before applying to graduate programs, and start working on your applications as soon as possible. It is possible to work in toxicology without an advanced degree, but opportunities will probably be limited to lab assistant positions.

Article: Before you can even approach a woman, you must observe their body language. On average, men tend to miss out on initial inviting body cues from women. Here are some body language cues that should signal a woman is approachable: Tossing of hair. Exposure of neck. An open torso. Wrist exposure. Showing of hands. Conversation is very key to making a good first impression. In general, conversation and talking makes a huge impact on a woman's interest in a man; it opens the opportunity to make a connection, and most women do connect through conversation. Do your best to find common grounds. Similar interests and similarity in general is something that naturally attracts us to one another. Avoid sounding like an expert on topics; it comes off as desperate to be authoritative not to mention you'll avoid connecting with her by making it all about you. To avoid this, ask questions that invite her to talk and build off of what she has already mentioned with follow up questions. Once conversation is ignited, return to paying attention to cues to see if the woman is intrigued with you and your approach. Notice if she is getting close to you. The closer a woman allows herself to be with you, the more interested she may be. Pay attention to the conversation. If she carries things beyond introductions and small talk, she might be gaining comfort in your presence. Her eyes speak to you. If she makes eye contact and scans you from head to toe, that's a sign of intrigue.

Pay attention to women. Talk to her. Keep the conversation balanced. Figure out if she's interested.
Article: Administering the eyewash from a bowl is the primary method for flushing eyes that have been exposed to a contaminant or that have a small foreign particle in them. It's also ideal for everyday relief of tired eyes. The thoroughly cleaned bowl should be large enough for you to fit your face in it. Whether you're using an actual eyewash solution or simply water, make sure that the liquid is between 60100F (15.637.8C). Do not fill the bowl to the brim because placing your face in the bowl will cause it to overflow. Take a deep breath and dip your entire face into the bowl so that the solution covers your eyes as well. Make sure not to tilt your head too far forward into the bowl or the solution will run up your nose. Ensure the whole surface of the eye comes into contact with the water. Rotating your eyes in a circular pattern helps get the water in your eye, which will help remove the contaminant or particle. Remove your face from the solution. By blinking a few times, you will further ensure that the solution gets an even coating over your eyes. For dry, tired eyes, you can simply dunk your face once or twice until you feel relief in your eyes. In order to actually flush out a contaminant, refer to the guidelines in Method 1 for the amount of time you should spend flushing your eyes. Again, you can't over-wash your eyes. If you've been exposed to an irritant, especially a chemical, it's okay to wash longer than the suggested amount of time. Don't wipe at your eyes at all. Simply pat dry your closed eyelids with a clean, dry portion of the towel.

Get a bowl. Fill the bowl with the eyewash solution. Submerge your face in the bowl. Open and rotate your eyes. Lift your face from the bowl and blink. Repeat as needed. Use a clean towel to dry your face.
