Sewing the screen shut is an option if the hole is too large to use adhesive. In some cases, you will not be able to sew the screen together without stitching a piece of scrap screening over the damaged area. To prep the screen for darning, unravel a few strands from the perimeter of the screen to use as your thread. Match the two ends of the screen as evenly as you can. If you cannot line up the two ends without leaving a noticeable hole in the middle, you may need to sew a piece of scrap screening over the hole. If you have any old or broken window screens, cut out a rectangle that is approximately the size of the hole. Patch screen material can work if no scrap screening is available. the strands through the screen with a needle. Once the torn edges are lined up, use a needle to weave the thread through the screen strands. If you don't have strands of screen material available, use a strong, long lasting thread (like heavy-duty or polyester thread). Make the stitches as small and identical as possible, and continue sewing until the hole is closed. Sew the torn edges together first and then, if the hole is still noticeable, place the patch over top and sew around its perimeter.

While there a lot of different ways to choose a bat, the most important criteria is comfort. You should, first and foremost, feel natural when swinging. To find the correct bat you should take your dominant hand and hold the bat parallel to the ground. It should feel slightly heavy and difficult to hold up. Choose a bat a 1/3 of an ounce lighter than this weight.  Check out this table of bat lengths by body type to get a good idea where to start shopping. This is the best thing you can do to get more power on the ball quickly. You want your arms and knees to be slightly bent and loose, not tensed. Work on swinging naturally and smoothly, avoiding jerky movements meant to hit the ball hard. Remember, good mechanics and a smooth swing are more important than trying to force as much power on your swing as you can. Despite its reputation as a little-league tool, the tee is great way to practice your swing mechanics and work on hitting the bottom 2/3 of the ball. Take 20-30 reps every day your practice, practicing not only how you hit the ball but where. Focus on hitting the lower two-thirds of the ball to get the best height and distance on the ball you can. You can tell when you hit it well by comparing distances. While even smaller players can hit the ball out of the park with good mechanics, it is easier to hit the ball farther when you are stronger. Remember, however, that swinging a bat requires your whole body, not just your arms. Areas to focus on include:   Abs and Core: A strong core helps you transfer energy from your legs through your torso, and is essential for bat speed and power. Incorporate sit-ups, crunches, planks, and medicine ball throws into every workout.  Legs: Most of your power comes through your legs, so you can often make the most dramatic gains through squats, leg presses, and box jumps.  Arms: Of course, you have to have strong arms to hit the ball hard. Practice swings and hitting off the tee should be a part of every workout, but you can also incorporate barbell rows, bench-press,...

At the end of a one-on-one outing, linger with your crush just a little longer than normal. Attempt to draw out natural pauses in your speech. Even if you’re nervous, try not to fill every moment with words. This allows a natural moment of anticipation to build. Creating more anticipation for the kiss will make it seem more exciting and out of the blue. If you want to make yourself as kissable as possible, be sure your breath is fresh and that you don’t have any body odor. It’s also helpful to apply an unflavored lip balm for soft lips.  Brush your teeth twice a day (especially your tongue) and floss regularly to keep your mouth ready for kissing. Always wear deodorant. It’s especially important if you find you get nervous and sweat a lot around your crush. This will signal that you’re hoping for a more intimate moment without being too obvious, enhancing the element of surprise. If you’re walking your crush to their door, for example, don’t trail far behind. Walk with them. If there are steps, you can even level a height difference between you by stopping a stair above or below where they do. Now that you’ve created a moment of physical closeness, it’s time to bridge any emotional distance. Say something sweet and surprising to make them feel close to you. It’s important that you believe the thing you say here, as the emotion behind your sentiment will be obvious. For example, making eye contact, you could say, “I felt really attracted to you today.” Don’t say anything after your sincere surprise comment. Simply draw out the moment. Shoot a brief glance at their lips, not longer than two seconds, and then make eye contact with them.  Try to keep your mouth gently parted, receptive to a kiss, during this look. If they look at your lips too, that is a great sign. If your crush feels the same way, they will meet your kiss. If they turn away, don’t force them to kiss. Respect them and understand that they may not share your feelings. If you’re feeling unsure about whether your crush will be receptive, lean in...

Regardless of what the situation may be (for example, their sporting event or taking on a promotion at work), make sure they know that you support them.  Be excited about opportunities that arise for them, and express that excitement. Be there in person to support when you can, like at a sporting event or at a fundraiser. Let others know about their opportunity, if they feel comfortable with that. Encourage them to take on the new opportunity by taking tasks off of their to-do list so that they can better focus. Offer to take care of some chores or errands so that they can focus their attention on their needs:   Grocery shopping Laundry or dry cleaning Cleaning your home Preparing food in advance Helping with administrative tasks, like sending emails or managing their calendar An unhealthy relationship is one in which one person holds the other back. Show they that you truly support they by encouraging they to chase their goals.  Offer to find ways to make their goals or dreams attainable, like helping them do research and learning more about their ambitions. When they feel discouraged, share uplifting words: “I know you feel like you're a long way from reaching your goal right now, but let's take a moment to look at how far you've come since you started!” There will likely be times when they feel pessimistic. Help them turn those feelings around by remaining optimistic.   If you feel pessimistic, too, and display that pessimism, then they might give up on their goals. Even if you do feel frustrated at times, find ways to continue to be supportive and to express that frustration in a healthy way. Find a friend to whom you can vent your frustrations, play sports, or take a walk. At times, the best way you can encourage them to do something is to give they space.

If your gift card requires activation, there’s usually a white sticker or some other indicator prominently displayed on the front that says so. These stickers typically provide a toll-free number or a website link that you need to use to activate the card.  If you don’t see this sticker or something similar on your card, it’s probably ready to use and doesn’t need activation. You can also check for specific instructions printed on the back of the card or included with the packaging. If a card needs to be activated, the ID number and activation code will be on the sticker. Gift cards that need activation may also require you to use a PIN number. Flip the card over and look for a sticker or area that looks similar to scratch-off material on lottery tickets. Pull off the sticker or use a coin to scratch off the material to obtain the PIN number.  Be careful not to scratch the covering off too roughly, or you might remove the numbers underneath.  You may need the PIN number to activate the card and check the balance. Only some gift cards have PIN numbers. If you don’t see one on your card, don’t get worried! Dial the phone number on the sticker exactly as it appears and wait for instructions. Be sure to have your gift card in front of you so you can input or communicate the information required to complete the activation process. The phone number will probably be a toll-free 800 number. After you dial the number, you’ll either hear automated instructions or get a live customer service representative on the line. Follow the instructions you're given to correctly provide the activation numbers. If you can’t figure out if you need to activate the card or not, call the customer service number located on the back of the card. Follow the prompts until you get a live agent on the line. Then, ask them what you need to do. They can clear the matter up for you quickly! Be sure to read the information carefully, since some cards list 2 phone numbers: 1 for live customer service, and 1 for automated service that allows you...

Obviously, it takes the participation of a male dog to get her pregnant. Think whether she has mated with a male dog, or whether it's possible that she escaped and found one to mate with. Castrated or neutered male dogs can mate with a female but cannot produce sperm to impregnate her. Entire (unneutered) male dogs, however, can impregnate her. If possible, contact the dog's owners to confirm. The exception is a dog who was castrated in the recent past–less than four weeks before the mating. There is a theoretical risk that he could have sperm retained in his tubes, which he ejaculates during the mating. This risk is small, but cannot be completely ruled out. This can give you vital information about whether it's possible she is pregnant. If the event happened three months ago, then she cannot be pregnant. This is because the average gestation (length of pregnancy) is 62 to 65 days (with a range from 57 to 72 days). If she had got pregnant then, by 90 days she would have given birth already. This can help your vet decide which is the best test to detect pregnancy. Pregnancy diagnosis methods depend on detecting hormonal changes, physical changes, or identifying embryos in the womb. Which test is the most likely to give a definitive answer depends on the number of days that have passed since mating. If a bitch was mated and the heat has not yet finished, it is too early to know if she is pregnant.

TL;DR in English: Recall whether it's possible she has mated with a dog. Determine whether that dog is castrated. Record the date she mated. Establish the dates your female dog was in heat.

To determine how much elastic to insert into your pant leg, try measuring the elastic around your ankle or around the ankle of the person who will wear the pants. This will help to ensure that your elastic pant leg hem will be a good fit. Wrap the elastic around the ankle without stretching it and then cut it about an inch past the area where the two ends meet. Keep in mind that you do not want to make your elastic bands too tight or too loose. Aim for a comfortable fit. As you work the elastic through the hem, make sure that the elastic does not get twisted. This could affect the look of your finished project. If the elastic does get twisted, then try to untwist it. If you cannot get it untwisted, then you may need to start over and try again. Using a larger safety pin may make your work go faster, but you cannot always use a large safety pin. The size of your casing will determine what size safety pin you can use. If you have wide casing, then you can go with a larger safety pin. If you have a small casing, then go with a small safety pin. Make sure that the safety pin does not open while you are working it through the casing. If it does, try to fasten it again without snagging the fabric. If you cannot get it fastened again, then pull the elastic out and start over.

Blend the rolled oats to make oat flour. Mix in the rest of the ingredients. Heat and grease a skillet over medium heat. Pour some pancake batter onto the skillet. Wait until bubbles form to flip the pancake. Cook the pancake for 1 to 2 more minutes. Continue making pancakes until you run out of batter. Serve the pancakes.

Your nausea may get worse if you try to do too much or if you are not getting adequate rest. Stay at home in bed as soon as you start to get nauseous. Laying down, avoiding exercise and sudden movements, and getting a bit more sleep will slow and stop your nausea and reduce your chances of vomiting. If necessary, take time off of work or school to do so. Staying in a single sick room may be easy, but the air will go stale and make you feel worse. Open a few windows to allow a breeze of fresh air, and when possible, take a few minutes to step outside. Taking a bubble bath may sound great, but adding in overly-scented perfumes will likely upset your stomach more. In general, avoid anything (perfumes or otherwise) with a very strong scent. Smell and taste are connected, so a strong smell can make you feel equally as sick as a bad taste. Keep your window open to allow fresh air in, and to keep bad smells out. The brightness, noise, and movement associated with your television, laptop, tablet, and phone can be overly stimulating and make an upset stomach worse. Instead, lay in bed with the lights dimmed and read a book or relax in a similar way. Taking time away from your electronics will ease your stomach and prevent an associated headache as well. Nothing is worse than feeling sick and being too hot or too cold as well. Stay at a comfortable temperature to make resting easy; add or remove layers of clothing and blankets, or take a short shower or bath. You can change the temperatures of the liquids you are drinking to help as well. If your stomach ache simply won’t go away and the urge to vomit is growing stronger, don’t stop it. Your body is trying to expel the cause of your illness from your body, so let it. Vomiting is certainly not an enjoyable activity, but it does an important job of helping you to heal. You’ll probably feel better afterwards anyway.

TL;DR in English: Get rest. Get some fresh air. Avoid strong smells. Take time away from your electronics. Adjust your temperature. Don’t avoid throwing up.

Pour 1 cup (100 grams) of oats into a blender or food processor. Blend the oats until they form a fine mixture, like flour. Add in the ricotta, yogurt, egg whites, baking soda, and honey. At the very end, add in the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Mix everything together until well-combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the walls of the blender/food processor occasionally to ensure that everything mixes evenly. ⅓ cup (81 grams) egg whites equals about 2 large eggs. Heat the skillet over medium heat until it's hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle. Next, grease it's surface with cooking spray, oil, or butter. If you used oil or butter, be sure to wipe most of it off with a paper towel. This will keep your pancakes from turning greasy and splotchy. Plan on using about ¼ cup (60 milliliters) of batter. These types of pancakes are meant to be thin, but you can make them thicker if you want to. Use a soup ladle to make the pouring easier. Once the edges of the pancake turn dry and the bubbles pop, use a spatula to loosen the edges. Carefully slide the spatula under the pancake, then flip it over. These pancakes are delicate compared to other types. Don't worry if your first few don't turn out perfect. It's ready when it's a golden color on both slides. Use a spatula to slide the pancake off of the pan and onto a plate. You have enough batter to make around 15 pancakes. How much you actually end up making also depends on the size and thickness of the pancakes. Re-grease the pan after every couple of pancakes. Remember to wipe any excess oil or butter off. They taste delicious with syrup, Greek yogurt, and fresh blueberries. You can also use lemon curd instead.

As you get close to graduation, your program will submit your name to Pearson Vue – the testing company that administers the CDR. Check with your advisor to make sure that your name has been submitted. If you’ve attended a CP, your internship will be part of your education. If you attended a DPD, you’ll have to complete your internship on your own. Once the internship is complete, Pearson Vue will email you with instructions for registering for the exam. Once you’ve registered for the exam, you’ll need to pay for it. It’s $200 to register for and take the exam. You’ll have to pay online with a credit or debit card. Once you’ve paid the registration fee, you’ll get an email from Pearson Vue about scheduling the date and time of the exam. When you go for your exam, you’ll need to bring a copy of your eligibility email – which should have come from your program after you finished your internship. You also need to bring a drivers’ license or state photo ID. You need a score of 25 or higher to pass the exam. Because the number of questions you have to answer varies from exam to exam, how many you have to answer correctly to pass will vary. If you fail, you can retake the exam after 45 days.  You'll have to pay the same amount for the retake as you did for the original exam. There is no limit to how many times you can retake the exam, as long as you wait 45 days between each attempt. After you pass the CDR, you’ll get information from Pearson Vue on how to maintain your RD credential. You’ll have to pay a maintenance fee and take part in continuing education opportunities every 5 years.

You can maximize the growing season in your area by getting a head start with your artichokes indoors.  Start your seeds in individual 4 in (10 cm) containers and leave them under fluorescent lights or in a heated greenhouse. In normal indoor temperatures, seeds will likely germinate in a week or so. Increase the size of planters as needed. To harden off the artichokes, begin exposing seedlings to temporary outdoor sessions 6 weeks before the anticipated last frost date in your area. Move seedlings outdoors 3 to 4 weeks before the anticipated final frost. You actually want to expose the plants to a temperature below 45 °F (7 °C) to trigger flowering. They should be about as tall as your hand. Plant the seedlings so that the crown, or top, of the plant is just above the soil line. Cull weak seedlings.  After 8-10 weeks, healthy artichoke seedlings will have stocky stems and two sets of leaves. Remove any that do not. If you live in a place that only has 90-100 days a year without frost, you’ll likely need to start your plants with transplants.  Plan to start growing your transplants indoors late in the winter or in early spring.  Harvest will occur in late summer or early fall.  Acquiring rooted shoots from a year-round greenhouse or online plant distributor is a great way to establish transplants quickly. If acquiring them yourself, use a serrated knife to begin cutting an offshoot under 10 inches (25 cm) tall that’s growing from the base of the plant. Dig around the offshoot to ensure roots come with the offshoot as you remove it. If possible, 4 feet (1.2 m)-6 feet (1.8 m) between individual plants is even better.  These plants have large, aggressive wingspans and require substantial room to grow. If using raised beds, artichokes don’t necessarily need their own beds, but do need ample space to spread their leaves.

TL;DR in English: Sow seeds indoors. Transfer seedlings outdoors. Use transplants in especially cold climates. Plant artichokes at least 3 feet (0.9 m) apart.

The first thing you’ll need to do when you arrive at the airport is to locate your airline. Airports are divided into terminals, and different airlines are housed in different terminals. There are also different terminals for arrivals and departures. You will need to go to the departure terminal for your airline. You can find out what terminal your airline is in by looking online, calling the airport or by asking one of the employees at the airport. If you are taking mass transportation or having someone drop you off at the airport, make sure you let them know what airline you are flying so they drop you at the correct building. Depending on what you’ve packed, you may need to check a bag or two. Most airlines will allow you one carry-on bag, in addition to one hand-held bag (like a laptop case or a purse.) If you are planning to check bags, go immediately to the counter for your designated airline.  If you are not checking a bag, skip this step and proceed straight to check in. Travelers are allowed to check up to two bags, but there is a weight and size limit on those bags. Check with your airline to see what those weight restrictions are. Be careful not to over-pack, as going over the weight limit for checked baggage may result in fees of over $75.00. In order to board your plane, you’ll need a boarding pass. If you’ve chosen to check your bags, give your airline attendant your identification and they’ll be able to print out your boarding pass for you. If you’re not checking your bags, you can still go to the attendant for help, or you can choose an easier and faster option.  Some airlines also offer kiosks for self-check in. To use these, all you’ll need is a credit card. Use the credit card to identify yourself and then follow the instructions on the kiosk to print out your boarding pass.  Some airlines also give you the option of checking in electronically. If this is the case, you will receive an e-mail 24 hours before your scheduled departure. Follow the instructions in the e-mail to check in for your...

Don’t put your nylons straight into the washing machine, as they can get hung up on the agitator. Instead, protect your stockings by placing them in a mesh bag with a fine weave. If you don’t have one, try using a pillowcase. Mild detergent will help preserve the life of your tights by protecting and conditioning the fibers. However, fabric softener will weaken the fibers, so leave that out of the wash. Always use cold water to wash your tights, as this will help the delicate fabric to last longer. Check your washing machine dials or user’s manual and place it on the gentlest setting available when you wash your nylons. Don’t wash anything with clasps, zippers, metal buttons, or hooks in the same wash as your nylons. These can snag your nylons in the wash, causing them to rip or snag.

Just because you are in a place where you are gaining more authority doesn't mean that you are a perfect worker. Always strive to do better and to improve your work ethic. Make smart decisions that will help your company, not hold it back. This will give you more authority as well, since your bosses will see how smart and forward thinking you are. If you are not sure what to do to improve your position, ask your boss, manager, or supervisor. They will likely tell you what you can do to improve, what responsibilities you can take on to help the company, or how you can become more involved. This will also help raise your level of authority because it will show your initiative. There may be situations that you are uncomfortable with or don't know how to handle. One of the signs of an authoritative worker is being able to handle any situation that comes at you. When a situation presents itself, be okay with saying something like "I appreciate your question, and I'll think it over and get back to you." It shows that you are considerate of your coworker's thoughts and will consider their questions and opinions. This also has the added bonus of giving you time to contemplate questions coworkers bring up and get back to them with well thought out, authoritative answers. One of the worst things you can do is get angry in front of your coworkers. If you are confident and have authority, you do not need to get angry at certain situations just because you have the power to fix them. Even if a situation upsets you, don't let it show in front of others. If you do, it will appear that you do not know a more effective way to approach the  situation. This is true for when you have to discuss sensitive issues with co-workers as well. For example, if you have to talk over an employee's performance issues, remain calm and collected. Be concerned and stern, but not angry or hostile.

The braids are also useful because you can add extra security to keeping the wig in place by using bobby pins to attach the wig to your braids.  Alternatively, you could put on a wig cap to hide your natural hair. If you have short hair, you don’t have to worry about doing anything to your hair before putting on the wig. Wigs will often move around when you try to brush them while wearing them. A chin strap clips onto both sides of the wig and will keep the wig in place as you complete your styling. Simply put on the wig, clip the chin strap to either side of the wig, and make sure it is securely under your chin. You can find chin straps for $3 to $5 online or at a wig store. The way you secure the wig depends on how long you plan to wear the wig. If you plan to wear it for a short amount of time, simply use bobby pins to attach the wig to your braids or hair. It’s also an option to put an elastic band around your head to hold the wig in place.  Some wigs may have drawstrings or clips inside of them to help secure them to your hair. Though you can use adhesive glue or tape to attach the wig, it may cause an allergic reaction or damage your natural hair. See a professional stylist if you want to try these methods. You can also sew the wig into your natural hair

TL;DR in English: Braid your natural hair before putting on the wig. Secure your wig with a chin strap to make finishing touches. Use bobby pins or an elastic band to secure the wig to your hair.

Your first step in bathing your baby is to introduce them to the water.  Take your time and gently place your baby into the water and allow them to get used to it.  Hold your baby in the following manner when you are lowering them into the bath:  Place one hand under the baby's bottom. Place your other hand under the baby’s head, supporting both the head and neck. Don't put your baby in the water too quickly as this might alarm them. You will always need to keep at least one hand on your baby during bath-time.  Taking both your hands off is too risky and can open your baby up to the danger of drowning.  Never take a chance and always keep full control over your child's safety.  Keep one hand under the baby's head or neck at all times. Use your free hand to wash your baby. Once your baby is safely in the water you can begin to bathe them.  Most parents will begin by washing the child's hair and head, before moving down to wash the rest of the body.   Keep some of the following tips in mind when cleaning your baby during their bath:  Start by washing the baby's head or face.  You won't always need to wash their hair. Gently pour water over the baby's body during the bath to keep them warm. Gently move down the rest of the body. Try to clean in between any skin folds. Wash your baby carefully and gently. Try cupping your hand to keep any rinse-water from entering the baby's eyes. Wash your baby's diaper area last. No matter what, do not ever leave your baby unattended during their bath.  Doing so puts them in harm’s way, opening them up the danger of drowning.  It only takes 3cm or around 1 inch of water for a baby to drown in and they won't always give obvious signs that they are in trouble. After your child is clean you can take them out of the tub.  Make sure you have a good and safe grip on them as you remove them from the water and dry them off immediately.  Remember some of the following tips when removing your baby from the tub:  Pick them up with both hands, placing one under their bottom and the other...

After you have cleaned the bra, place the bra on a flat surface with the adhesive bra cups facing upwards. Then, let the bra air dry overnight, or as long as it takes for it to dry completely. If you have the bra’s original packaging, you can place the bra on the package with the adhesive sides of the cups facing up. You may also hang your bra from a towel rack or hook to dry it. This is an especially good idea if you washed the entire body of the bra, and the bra may even dry faster this way. If you are in a hurry, try placing the bra in front of a fan to speed up the drying process.

When dealing with someone you absolutely hate, make sure to control your emotions at all cost. In the back of your mind, you might be thinking how much contempt you have, but there is no way to be nice if you let your feelings get the better of you. Stay calm, think about your goal of being nice, and let your brain rule the day.  Think about your own behavior, rather than their behavior. Focus on your goal of being nice. Don’t let their comments or actions provoke you into rash behavior. Regardless of whatever they do or say, just stay cool. One tactic to use when talking to someone you hate is to say less than you normally would under other circumstances. Saying less will help you in several ways. It’ll open you up to less opportunities when you may let your contempt or hatred slip from your lips. It will also minimize the amount of time you’re actually engaging the person.  Be polite and kind, but keep your statements and responses relatively short and concise. Don’t be curt, but rather try to come off as quiet and thoughtful. If they question you about something, respond to them by telling them you’ll have to think about it, or you’ll get back to them later. This way, you’ll keep your response minimal and you’ll be able to think about your response. Perhaps the best way to maintain cordial relations with someone you don’t like is to minimize interactions with the person. Minimizing interactions will limit occurrences in which you might be mean to the person. The less face-to-face time, the more likely you’ll be able to control yourself and the less the person will actually wear on you and antagonize you.  Only interact when you have to. Think beforehand of reasons why you may have to excuse yourself. Don’t lie, but instead make obligations that you’ll have to attend to. Some examples might mean meeting up with family or friends elsewhere. Plan your schedule around them as to avoid them when possible. In every interaction with the person you hate, be deliberate about what you say and do. Being deliberate...

Injectable Narcan, labeled as EVZIO, comes in a case. Take the device out of the case, but do not remove the red safety guard until you are ready to inject the medicine. When you are ready to inject, remove the red safety guard. You might need to pull the red safety guard a little hard to get it off. Do not touch the black area of the EZVIO after you get the red safety tab off. This is where the needle is located. Place the black area of the device on the middle of the person's outer thigh so that it is right over the muscle. To inject the medicine, hold the device firmly against the person's thigh for five seconds. You do not need to remove the person's clothing to do this.  You will hear a click and hiss sound as the device automatically injects the medicine into the person's thigh. This is normal and means the device is working. The needle will retract into the device after the injection is complete. . Make sure to call 911 (or emergency services in your country) immediately after giving the injection or have someone call for help while you are giving the injection.

If you wear makeup, it can cause an uneven tan. Your tan may even wash away if you have on enough foundation. Wipe your face clean with makeup removal wipes, or apply a gentle face wash to remove any traces of makeup. For a scrub, pick a light facial scrub, and rub it into your face. Rinse it off afterwards. For a peel, choose one that's gentle on your skin and made from AHA. Apply it to your face, and leave it for the amount of time the package says before rinsing it off.  "AHA" refers to "alpha hydroxy acid," which is what works to remove the dead skin. Typically, you'll find exfoliants with AHA, BHA (beta hydroxy acid), or a combination of both. Opt for the AHA formula, as it is oil-free. Picking an oil-free formula is important, as oils can make it more difficult for your skin to absorb the tanner.  Look for exfoliants that describe themselves as "gentle" or "for sensitive skin." You want something gentle, as anything too harsh could remove too much skin and cause streaks. Dead skin cells can result in an uneven tan. Plus, if they slough off after your tan, it will fade much quicker. A light exfoliation will help prevent this issue. Pick an oil-free facial moisturizer. Rub a small amount into your dry skin areas, such as under your nostrils.  This process will help reduce streaking. If you're using a spray tan, apply moisturizer all over, as these tans can be drying. Let your face dry for at least 20 minutes before sealing your pores for the tan. Self-tanner can clog your pores, so you want to tighten them up if possible. Grab an ice cube, and run it over your face several times, until your skin feels slightly cold.  You can also use a cool, damp washcloth over your face for a few minutes instead.  Pat your face dry when you're done. If you get tanner in these areas, it can really stick out. For instance, if you get it in your hairline, it can create an uneven tan along that edge. Petroleum jelly will keep these areas from the fake tanner, creating nice, even edges.  Apply a thin coating with your finger...

Use a butter knife or similar tool, like popsicle sticks or a spatula. Add just enough wax to lightly cover the target area. As you do, spread the wax down in the direction that your hair grows. For example, with your calf, spread it from your knee down to your ankle, not the other way.  With each application, apply it in a fast, clean motion in order to spread it as thinly as possible. Dragging it too slowly over your skin may result in thicker deposits, which will be tougher to remove. This may take some practice, so consider making an extra batch just in case you mess up. Use cotton muslin strips of an appropriate size for the area you’re waxing, or slightly larger. Set it over the wax, with at least a couple inches (about 5 cm) remaining clear of the wax at one end, so you have a tab that’s easy to pull. Then gently rub the portion that’s stuck to the wax in the same direction that your hair grows, without pressing directly down into your flesh. Do this two or three times.   Alternately, you can cut up an old t-shirt or other cloth and use strips of that. If you do, just make sure the material isn’t too stretchy. You want something nice and firm for easy removal. The free end should be in the direction of your hair growth. For example, with your calf, it should be pointing toward your ankle, not your knee. With one hand, use your fingers to pull the surrounding skin away from the fabric, so it’s nice and taut. Then, with the other, take the fabric’s free end in between your fingertips. Quickly pull the fabric free of your skin in the opposite direction that your hair grows.   For example, with your calf, you should pull the strip up toward your knee. As you do, try to keep as straight as possible. Avoid pulling it off at an angle that’s different from the one in which it was applied. Tear it off like a bandaid, in one quick, clean motion. Apply more wax and strips as needed to wax all of the intended area. Depending on how large an area you’re waxing, reheat the mixture if it cools off or hardens to the...

Literature tests can be in wildly different formats depending on the class and the instructor; they are very different from math or spelling tests. If your professor or teacher gives you the format of the test, make sure that you understand what each component of the test entails. This understanding will aid you in the study process. Here are some common literature exam components:  Definitions of literary terms or phrases Quote identifications, where you are given the quote and need to explain who said it in what context in what literary work by which author. Passage analysis Short answer questions Essay questions, either on one work or linking together multiple works If your class focuses on literary terms, such as “symbol” or “anaphora” or “free indirect discourse,” make sure that you can not only define the literary term but also provide examples of it from texts in your class. Quiz yourself with these flashcards and look for more examples of them in your assigned texts. If you have taken good class notes, rereading through your notes will refresh your memory about the important points made during class. Take note of the important ideas presented in the class, such as “coming of age” or “man vs. nature.” The ideas that stand out in your notes could potentially appear on the exam. Make a condensed study guide, pulling together the most important ideas from your notes. Use the “read-recite-review” method --read over your notes, recite what you remember from them, and then review and assess how much you retained. Understanding all of the material for a literature exam is crucial, so now is the time to look back on that confusing passage of Faulkner that you didn’t understand in class. If there’s a passage analysis on one of these confusing sections, you will be happy that you reviewed it! If your exam requires an essay, you should look through your notes and texts for potential essay topics, such as dreams, motherhood, or nature.

Several weeks before attempting to move your baby into their crib, introduce set cues and habits that will let your baby know when bedtime has come.  A set routine will help your baby know that it's bedtime, regardless of where they are sleeping. You can vary the routine as desired, making it as short or long as you need in order to help baby wind down. The elements you introduce into your routine should all be of a calming nature, however. Beginning the process before moving your baby to their crib will help your baby to associate the new routine with bedtime. As a result, your baby will still know that it's time for sleep even when one aspect of the routine—sleeping in your room—ceases. Be consistent. The only way to establish certain actions as a routine is to do them every night. If you skip some nights, you might give your baby mixed signals. Even if you have no pre-set cues that tell your baby when it's time to go to sleep, there might be signs and signals you unknowingly give to your baby that indicate the arrival of bedtime. Analyze your bedtime habits and determine if there are any habits you have established for your child. If there are, continue these habits as much as possible. Try giving your baby 2 or 3 ounces (60 or 90 ml) of formula or breast milk before going to bed. For babies over six months of age, you could also try giving them 1 or 2 tablespoons (15 or 30 ml) of cereal before bed. Stuffing your baby with too much food will only cause discomfort, but giving them a little before bed may help your baby feel more comfortable and last a little longer into the night before waking up.    A short, warm bath can help soothe your baby, easing them into sleep.  Note, however, that some babies will feel invigorated when given a bath. If yours falls under this category, then you should do the bath earlier in the day rather than making it part of your bedtime routine. Follow the bath by wrapping your baby in a warm towel or blanket. Holding your child close will also add an extra level of warmth and...

If you like journaling or keeping lists, spend a few minutes at the end of each day reflecting over what went well, how you felt, and anything that was upsetting. If you aren’t a fan of writing things down, take a couple of minutes to sit quietly and think about your day. Ask yourself these types of questions:  What made me happiest today? What are the positives in my life? What am I putting off or procrastinating? If I had time, what would I like to be doing? Is there negativity I can remove from my life? Instead of focusing on the things you don’t have, choose to focus on what you do have. Commit to finding the good in every day; you could even try keeping a “joy list” where you write down things that happen during the day that make you joyful.  Take time to do things that bring you joy, too, like listening to music, dancing, cooking, reading, or going to a yoga class. Make these things a priority so your week is infused with joy-giving activities. Similarly, taking time to laugh every day can boost your emotional health. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh or try watching a funny movie or stand-up comedian to give yourself some much-needed laughter-therapy. A boundary can be between you and another person, or it can be set up to protect your time so you can take care of yourself. Here are some common ways you can set up healthy boundaries in your life:  Manage work stress by checking your email twice a day rather than getting a constant influx of notifications. Turn off your phone when you’re with loved ones so you aren’t distracted from what’s happening in the present. Distance yourself from someone who is emotionally needy and who takes advantage of you. Tell friends to text or call before they come over rather than just popping in. When someone asks you to do something, take a minute to check in with your gut and your calendar to see if it’s a reasonable thing for you to agree to. If it isn’t, say something like, “Thanks for asking, but I’m going to have to pass this time,” or “I wish I...

TL;DR in English: Take time to check in with yourself every day. Incorporate more joy into your life to increase your sense of well-being. Set boundaries for your time and space so you can take care of yourself. Learn to say “no” so you don’t overcommit your time. Reduce the amount of stress in your life so you can enjoy things more. Connect with friends regularly to build a strong support network. Challenge yourself to learn something new to keep your brain happy. Talk to yourself in a kind way to encourage a positive outlook. Unplug from your electronics to lower stress and practice mindfulness. Seek professional help if your health is interfering with your life.

Pick up a few interior design magazines like Home Decor and Country Living to help get you started. These magazines will not only give you some helpful hints on choosing colors but will also be full of pictures of professionally designed rooms that can give you a clear idea of what you want. You can also search online on sites like HGTV or Pinterest for some insight and inspiration. You can also visit furniture stores and home decor shops to see what's in season and on trend. An easy way to choose a color for a sofa is to base it off other colors already in the room. Using complementary colors on the color wheel will guarantee a match and take out some of the guesswork in trying to find the perfect sofa shade.  For example, if you have a lot of orange in the room via lamps, rugs, or paintings, then a couch which has a blue hue would be a great addition. Or, if you have a large violet-colored tapestry, try a chartreuse or green sofa. You could also choose colors in the same family as your existing decor. if you have cool-colored wood floors, try a cool-colored couch. A black sofa would look great with gray flooring. If you're working with a new or empty room, you may want to pick a sofa in a neutral color so you can easily build off of it when decorating the rest of the space. As a sofa is usually the centerpiece of a room, try making it stand out. Pick bold jewel-tones like jade, ruby, and sapphire or a contrasting color to make the sofa pop. For example, if you have bright white carpet, pick a dark gray sofa or something black. You can also pick large patterns like floral prints or chevron stripes to bring the sofa into the forefront. Be mindful if choosing a particular pattern, though. Different fabrics can cause a sofa to cost more in the long run. A sofa in a neutral color like cream, gray, or navy will look great in any room. You can also easily change the look of your sofa by adding throws or pillows. For instance, you could jazz up a gray sofa with a red blanket and a few pillows with a red and white...

TL;DR in English:


Maybe it has been so long since you've really cared about something that it feels like you've lost the ability. But no matter how deep your feelings of caring are buried, they're in there somewhere, and it's time to uncover them. To care is to "feel concern or interest; attach importance to something," to "feel affection or liking." By that definition, who and what do you care about? Make a list of anything that causes you to feel interest, concern, or attachment of any kind.  Write down the names of people you feel attachment to—parents, siblings, friends, and anyone else who has a pull on your heart. If you think about the person often, and you'd miss them if they weren't there, you probably care about them. You don't have to love or even like them to care. By the same measure, write down things besides people you care about. Don't write down the things you should care about, just the things you actually do. Maybe your life is better because you play soccer, or you can't imagine a world without Warcraft. Maybe you care about poetry, or you love a certain movie star. There's no limit to how long your list can be—write it all down, big and small. Be honest with yourself as you make your list, and don't leave anything out. Maybe you've been conditioned to act like you're "above it all," or to hide the things that make you tick. People will try to tell you what you should and shouldn't care about, but you'll have to learn to ignore them for the sake of your own happiness. And in most cases, sticking to your guns and expressing that you care will eventually win you others' admiration. Still aren't sure what matters to you? Take a look at what you do with your time once all your obligations have been fulfilled. When your homework is complete, the workday is over and the chores are done, what do you usually do? The way you spend your free time can be quite telling. You probably use it to do something you care about.  Do you spend your free time calling someone for a long chat, texting your friends, or writing...

TL;DR in English: Make a list of things that interest you. Look at how you spend your free time. Pay attention to what you think about as you're falling asleep. See what piques your interest. Figure out what tugs on your heartstrings.

As your trainee progresses in their training, allow them to take the lead on certain tasks and projects. Start by having them take care of the daily routine without your help. Then, when you feel comfortable with their ability to handle the day-to-day, allow them to take lead on a particular project or project component.  There is no set time frame for when any one trainee should be taking lead on anything. Look at what your training schedule will allow. If you have a few weeks to work with your trainee, you may want to focus the last week on getting them independent. If you only have a few days, this may need to happen faster. Allowing them to take lead should mean that you are removing yourself from the process. Offer to assist your trainee if they want or need it, but otherwise leave it to them to perform the job functions. As you transition your position to your trainee, introduce them to other people who may be of help in completing their job. Look at those coworkers with whom you have worked in your position, and introduce your employee, explaining how, specifically, they may work with this person in the future.  Make sure your trainee has the phone numbers, email addresses and any other contact information they may need to get in touch with these new contacts on their own. If possible, try to arrange coffee or lunch so that your trainee can really get to know the person and their job functions, rather than just stopping by their desk. At some point before your trainee is completely on their own, you should schedule to stop performing your current job functions. If you are able, you may want to turn your attention toward your new position. Let your trainee take over the position while you still have training time with them so you are there in case they need help.  Let your trainee know well in advance when you plan to have them fully assume the position. Explain to them, “I will be there if you need help or if something comes up that we haven’t covered yet, but otherwise you are going to be taking on...

Since your mouth may have stitches or an open wound, it requires special cleaning for the first few days. Do not brush your teeth, floss, or use mouthwash, or rinse your mouth out in any way for 24 hours. After that, follow this routine:  If you have stitches and the gum covers the extraction site completely, then you can start brushing your teeth gently after 12 hours. Just make sure that you avoid the extraction area. Rinse your mouth gently, without too much pressure, with saltwater every two hours and after every meal. Brush your teeth gently, being careful not to touch the wound. Floss your teeth carefully without going near the wound. Let your body's energy focus on healing, rather than other activities. In the first few days after getting surgery your mouth may be swollen and painful, so it shouldn't be difficult to take a few days off of work and school to allow yourself to rest.  Don't do a lot of talking. Let your mouth be still as the sockets begin to form a scab and the swelling goes down. Don't do unnecessary exercise. Lie or sit on your sofa for the first 24 hours, then do light walking for the next few days. Avoid touching the area of the extraction and also try not to sleep on that side for two to three days. Drink plenty of cool water after the surgery, but stay away from beverages that might interfere with the healing process. That means avoiding the following drinks:  Coffee, soda, and other drinks that contain caffeine. Wine, beer, liquor, and other drinks that contain alcohol. Soda, diet soda, and other drinks that are carbonated. Hot tea, hot water, and other drinks that are warm or hot, since these can loosen the scab that is forming over the socket. Don't use a straw when drinking liquids. The sucking motion puts stress on the wound, and can cause the scab not to form. Chewing tough foods is a sure way to break up the scab that is protecting your fragile nerves from exposure. Eat mashed potatoes, soup, applesauce, yogurt, and other soft food for the first couple of days. Graduate to...

It allows the user to sight up targets in low- or no-light situations. The problem with any night sights used in nearing dusk, or early morning, when there is not enough light to adequately illuminate the white rings, and it is too bright to see the tritium, at this point the sights are very difficult to accurately line up. But any darker (when most shootings take place) the night sights are very visible. Tactical, attached lights not only are able to light whole rooms, but can also give bad guys a short period of blindness if used on them. The problem is that they add weight to the gun, and can possibly throw off the balance. Some argue that they also give the bad guy a nice easy target to aim at (but honestly, just try looking at the light for a few seconds — they may know the direction to shoot, but they won't see what they are shooting at). Buying a cheaper light will almost guarantee it breaking after a while. For a duty or concealed weapon, this can be left off, but for home defense use, it may help identify your target before taking action. A separate hand-held light can do most of what an attached light can do. Often lightening the trigger pull, or shortening the length of the pull. This is great for target shooting or match shooting, but a trigger pull that is less than three pounds can quickly become unsafe if you are carrying the gun a lot. It can also help a lot with quick follow up shots, making them more accurate.  This is a change that should only be made to the gun if the trigger pull is grossly heavy or long. For people with very large hands, this is a must to allow for a solid fit on the grip. The grips have problems though. They can move, affecting  accuracy and requiring constant adjustment. Most tactical-style handguns have grooves and hatches in the grip to allow a firm grip even with sweaty hands; the rubber makes the gun a bit slippery when sweaty. Additional maintenance is also required, as sweat and dirt will build up under the grip, which require the rubber to be taken off and the...

TL;DR in English: Get night sights for any conceal carry or duty weapon that you plan on using after dark. Consider getting a tactical, attached light. Consider getting trigger work to fire rounds faster. Consider a new rubber grip for comfort.

Sometimes it can help to create a physical tribute to your grandparent by making a memorial. This could be a collection of photographs of your grandparent or a drawing or painting you make of your grandparent and frame. You could then hang it in a special spot in your home or your room so you always remember your grandparent. Take time out of your day to spend some time at your grandparent’s grave. Bring flowers or sentimental items to place at his grave as a form of tribute and acknowledgement. This can also give you the opportunity to “talk” to your grandparent at the grave and share any emotions or feelings you are experiencing. Often, visiting the grave can act as a form of comfort during the grieving process. Another way to create a tribute to your grandparent is to sit down and write a personal letter or story about your grandparent or dedicated to your grandparent. You can then store the letter in a safe place and read it whenever you are feeling sad about her death. Expressing your emotions by writing them down can help you to process your grief and cope with her death. Another way to pay tribute to your grandparent is to keep his memory alive by sharing memories and stories about him with your family. This could be a funny story from his childhood that was relayed to you by another family member or a memory you have of a time you both spent together while he was still alive. You may make this a habit around the grandparent's birthday or on the anniversary of her death to remember her and pay tribute to her. Having a consistent day or days where you remember the grandparent can help with the grieving process.

See a doctor regularly. Treat high blood pressure. Treat high cholesterol Control your diabetes.

Diagnosing PM always begins with a physical exam. Your doctor will ask you to lift your arms, turn your head, and make other moves that involve the affected muscle groups. They’ll ask when and where you specifically feel weakness or pain when moving or at rest. They’ll also check your heart and lungs with a stethoscope. You’ll also be asked questions about your medical history and family history—even though PM isn’t passed on genetically, it can be more common in some families. After a simple blood draw at your doctor’s office, your blood will be tested for 2 major things. 1 is the enzyme known as CK, which leaks from damaged muscle fibers. The other is for antibodies that are specific to inflammatory myopathies like PM. The antibodies are evidence of your immune system attacking your muscles, and the enzyme is proof of their destruction of healthy tissue. This test involves sticking a needle that’s connected to a machine into your muscle tissue in various locations. The device checks for electrical activity in the muscles during both rest and contraction.  You may be wary of the needle, and the fact is that this procedure is a bit painful. The doctor can apply a topical anesthetic to your skin, but it will still hurt where the needle enters your muscle tissue. These spots may remain painful for a few days. However, electromyogram is an effective diagnostic tool for PM and is nearly always worth the discomfort. MRIs are not always used to help diagnose PM, but they can be beneficial in some cases. An MRI essentially creates cross-sectional images of your muscle tissue, and can therefore open large areas to examination without invasive procedures.   MRIs are painless and a good choice for most people, but remaining still in the enclosed chamber can be a challenge for some. Learn about the procedure, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to voice your concerns. Ask how long the procedure will take, and let the doctor know if you're worried about being in a small space for that long. You may be able to use soothing...

TL;DR in English: Let your doctor do a physical exam. Have your blood tested for specific enzymes and antibodies. Consent to an electromyogram. Ask whether an MRI may prove useful. Undergo a muscle biopsy for definitive evidence.

Routine check-ups can catch early arterial problems. You don't necessarily need a yearly check-up. If you are under 30 and otherwise healthy, going to your doctor once every two to three years is enough. A check-up every other year is sufficient for those between 30 and 40 who do not have any medical conditions. Annual physicals should start at around the age of 50, earlier if you are at special risk or have other health problems. As said before, high blood pressure can increase your risk of arterial problems and over time cause arteries to stiffen. It therefore needs to be treated. In addition to lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, coping with stress, and limiting sodium and alcohol, it is also possible, with your doctor, to treat high blood pressure through medication. Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers are all common medicines which, in different ways, stop or slow body functions that increase blood pressure. It is not uncommon for someone to take more than one medication for high blood pressure. You may also experience side-effects. In that case, do not stop taking the medication but ask your doctor if she can change the dosage or drug. . As said before, high cholesterol is also an indirect factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Your cholesterol level may be high from your diet and/or from your body making too much cholesterol on its own. Apart from losing weight and reducing your consumption of saturated and trans fats, minding food labels carefully, you may need to ask your doctor for medical help in lowering your cholesterol. Statins, for example, block a substance that your liver needs to make cholesterol, which causes the liver to remove the cholesterol from the blood. Statins not only lower cholesterol levels but help the body absorb existing deposits on artery walls, which can possibly reverse coronary artery disease. Other medications may also protect the arteries by decreasing the inflammation, which is thought to contribute to heart disease. Diabetes can cause...

You may have difficulty fighting the urge to procrastinate, but keep in mind that feedback and revisions can sometimes take up to a week. If you wait, you may forget a lot of important details from the experiment. Having a rough version of your report at the ready a month in advance can save you from unnecessary stress and from having to turn in unpolished work.  You may have performed supplemental experiments/simulations, or repeated your initial experience after receiving your first round of feedback. Feedback should go through the following stages ideally:   (a) Self-review and revision  (b) Peer review and constructive feedback  (c) Advisor/instructor review and feedback The goal of your experiment or the goal of proving or disproving certain hypotheses is essentially unimportant when you are writing a lab report. The data contained in it could be anything, and you may very well have to write lab reports in the future that seem silly or unnecessary. The goal of your lab report is to be read and evaluated by another person, like your instructor.  It can help to remind yourself of this goal at the beginning of every section before you start writing. When you finish a section of your report, read it through carefully and at the end of it, ask yourself: was that easy to read and understand? Did I succeed in my goal? The narrowest purpose of your lab report is to enable your seniors, advisors, and/or an evaluation committee to confirm your ability to consistently and clearly produce a report. But once you start devising and performing labs of your own, it's quite possible that your peers or juniors will utilize it as a resource. If you believe your paper might be of use to researchers in another discipline, like a social science, you may want to include definitions or explanations for the more technical jargon used in your paper. Take a piece of scrap paper and pencil and list the necessary sections of your lab report in order. Under each section, jot a few sentences that summarize what must be covered in that...

TL;DR in English: Get a head start on your lab report as soon as possible. Write your report with the primary goal of readability. Determine your present audience, and potential future ones. Outline the general structure of your lab report. Break sections of your report into subsections, if necessary.

Add 1-2 cups of rolled or steel-cut oats to a warm bath, and soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes. The oats may help soothe the itching and reduce inflammation. After brushing off the ants, immediately rinse the area with rubbing alcohol and leave it wet. Note, though, that alcohol could also make the ant bite worse. Elevate the area and sprinkle a generous amount of meat tenderizer on the area. Golfers sometimes use this method in Florida.  Keep a bottle of liquid hand sanitizer handy in your bag. Apply the hand sanitizer to the bite area liberally after freeing your skin of ants. Let it stay in place. Take Benadryl or equivalent antihistamine when you get back home. This may help lessen the itching and can help to reduce redness. A paste made from baking soda and vinegar may also work. As may vinegar on its own. [citation needed] As soon as you are stung, use ammonia to rinse the area as quickly as possible. This may help minimize the effects of the stings.

Put on some rubber or latex gloves to protect your hands. Turn the bottle of dye upside down and shake it. Also stir the mixture to loosen any of the pigment that has settled to the bottom of the bottle. Pour the dye into a disposable container.  Always read the instructions that come with the dye. If you are creating an intermediate color, go ahead and mix the dyes at this time. The basic rules of color mixing apply to leather dyes as well. For example, yellow and blue can be mixed to make green.  You can dilute the dye with water to adjust the color. Play around with the water-to-dye ratio and test the color on swatches before you apply the dye to your boots. Use a sponge brush, paint brush, or cloth to apply the dye to your boots. Apply a thin coat of the dye using long,even strokes in the same direction (e.g. vertical or horizontal). Allow the dye to dry for 30 minutes, and then apply a second coat.  Some dyes will come with an application brush. However, use whatever tool is most comfortable for you. If you are not satisfied with the color after the second coat, you can apply a third coat. Always allow the coat to dry for 30 minutes each time. If you apply your first coat using horizontal brushes, apply the second coat using vertical brushes. This will ensure an even application of the dye. Consider using a small paintbrush for fine details and hard to reach areas, such as the spot where the sole and the heel meet the leather. Test a small area before you apply the dye to your entire boot. Dyes work best if you are going from a lighter to a darker color. If you are making a drastic color change, use an intermediate color to achieve better results. The first color you use will neutralize the original color on your boots. Then follow up that color with your desired final color.  If you are going from white to black, dye the shoes green or blue first and finish with black. If you are going from white to brown, dye the shoes light green first and finish with brown. If you are going from red to black, dye the...

TL;DR in English: Mix the dye. Apply the dye. Use an intermediate color if necessary.

Raw cookie dough that doesn’t contain eggs is safe to eat raw, and can be eaten alone or added to other desserts. To make cookie dough balls:  Divide your favorite cookie dough into tablespoon-sized bits. Use your hands to roll the dough bits into small balls. Chill them in the fridge before serving to prevent them from becoming too soft and doughy. Use the dough balls immediately, or store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 12 months. Cookie dough balls can be added to many forms of ice cream, including sundaes and milkshakes. To add them to a bowl of ice cream, let the ice cream sit for a few minutes to soften up. When it’s soft enough, add the desired amount of cookie dough balls to the bowl and mix them into the ice cream. Serve in a bowl with a spoon, or transfer to a cone. To add cookie dough to a milk shake, add the balls after the milk shake has been blended, otherwise they will be blended up and lost in the milk shake. Cookie dough can be made into cookie dough truffles by simply adding a chocolate coating. Use a double boiler to melt one cup of chocolate chips. When the chips are melted, remove them from the heat.  You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, or even butterscotch chips to make the truffle coating. Coat the cookie dough balls. One at a time, roll each cookie dough ball in the chocolate to coat completely. Transfer the chocolate-covered cookie dough balls to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. When you’ve covered all the balls, transfer the cookie dough truffles to the freezer to let the chocolate set. Serve cold.

Become a mentor. Apply to be a court-appointed special advocate (CASA). Consider fostering a child. Start your own  non-profit.

Live your life in the present, not the past. It is important to give yourself time to grieve after the loss of someone close to you. However, it's also important not to put your life on permanent pause. Continue to pursue your dreams and focus on what you want to achieve in life. If there's one thing you can learn from death, it's that you should never take your life for granted. Live passionately, joyfully, purposefully, as if each day could be your last. You'll feel much more at peace with yourself if you can appreciate the good times without fixating on what could have been. Try to embrace the mistakes that you've made. After all, we are all human, and it's only natural to make errors. If you are genuinely sorry about something, sometimes that's the most that you can do.  Try to think rationally: is it honestly my fault, or was there something preventing me from doing that? Is there anything that I can do about it now, or is it water under the bridge? If you still feel as though the blame falls to you, try talking to someone who was also close to the individual; they'll most likely comfort you and reassure you it wasn't your fault. If you are upset, there's a good chance that other people are, too. Be there for each other. Talk about the person who has died, keep his or her memory alive, and support each other through the difficult days that lie ahead. Try not to shut people out of your life, even if you feel the need to be alone. You will need your emotional support system more than ever in the wake of  this disaster. Throw away or store everything that belonged to that person or pet: pictures, cards, papers, notes, letters, mattress, bedsheets, clothes, shoes, and accessories. Consider renovating or repainting the room that he or she slept in. If you are not surrounded by constant reminders of the past, you may find it easier to move on.  You can store things in an attic, basement, garage, or self-storage unit. The important thing is that you remove everything that reminds you of the person/pet out of...

There are several organizations that help needy children connect with stable adults who can guide them through school and life. These programs offer at-risk youth a vital support system. Kids who have a mentor are more likely to graduate high school and less likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. Some mentoring programs include:  Big Brothers Big Sisters of America  Children’s Aid Society  Stand Up For Kids Your local department of child services may also have a mentoring program. Children in foster care often do not have legal guardians who can represent them. A court-appointed special advocate is a representative who looks out for the best interests of a child in court. While they are not an attorney, they do represent foster children in court instead of a parent or legal guardian. CASAs often form personal bonds with their children, thus ensuring that they are protecting the rights and needs of the child.  You can locate a CASA program near you on the CASA for Children website.  You will have to undergo a thirty-hour training program before you will be assigned a case. If you have the space and finances to take in a child, you can foster a child. Foster care is intended to provide a temporary, stable home for a child who has been removed from their parents. The process for fostering takes months, but a dedicated foster parent can change the life of a disadvantaged child by providing support, stability, and consistency during a tumultuous time in their life.  In the US, you will have to apply to be a foster parent at your state Department of Child Services or Department of Social Services. You will have to complete training and pass both a home inspection and a background check.  In the UK, you can contact your local council for more information or find a nearby fostering agency. You will have to pass a Discourse and Barring Service Check as well as a health exam. You may have to go through training.  In Australia, you will have to submit both an Expression of Interest Form and an application to your state...

Choose a crew neck for versatility with any type of clothing. Use a v-neck sweater to create a more formal appearance. Pick a cardigan for a thin but balanced sweater. Pull on a turtleneck to make yourself look slimmer and taller. Pick a cable knit sweater if you're cold and like designs.

If you suspect you may have a sensitivity to gluten, bring up your concerns with your doctor. Receive a physical examination to check for signs of swelling and other physical problems. You'll also probably do a complete metabolic panel to check your blood count and organ function. Bring in your food diary, and be as detailed as possible. Be clear. If you're worried about gluten, say, "I'm concerned that I may have a gluten problem and I'd like to be tested for it." Don't leave it up to your doctor to guess. If your GP can't find anything to account for your symptoms, you will be referred to a specialist for treatment and further testing. Abdominal problems are usually quite complicated, and the symptoms can be indicative of lots of different things, so it's important to consult a specialist for more specific testing. Why not go straight to the gastro specialist? It's important to get a once-over from your regular doctor to rule out other possible concerns and receive guidance in this matter. The symptoms of gluten intolerance can be any number of different things, some serious and some not. Eliminate these possibilities first. Most doctors and experts recommend a TG test as the most reliable blood test for Celiac, which should be the first step in testing. Some doctors may also order a more comprehensive panel to check for your overall organ function and health, which may suggest a variety of things. The process is as easy as giving blood, and should only take 10-15 minutes. Most insurance plans cover this test in whole or part. A sample of tissue from the walls of the small intestine is the most accurate way to diagnose Celiac disease. This is a relatively simple procedure that takes less than 20 or 30 minutes in most cases. After being sedated, an endoscope is introduced into the small intestine from the mouth. A small tissue sample is taken to see if the villi have been destroyed by an allergic immune response. If so, this is a strong indicator of Celiac, along with the presence of antibodies. Endoscopes...

Consider colors like dark blue, brown, and black to be formal. Colors like gray and white can pass as formal but are easy to wear in most situations. More vibrant shades like light blues and reds are trickier to find but work best in casual settings. For the most part, the color doesn't matter as much as the other clothing you choose to pair the sweater with.  Dark colors often work well when you don't wish to stand out very much. Try using a dark-colored sweater as part of an outfit when you're going for a more subtle or professional style. Lighter colors work very well for fun, less serious events. Still, avoid wearing extremely bright sweaters unless you're planning on making a statement. Patterns on sweaters are a lot like colors in that the more you have, the less formal your sweater seems. Everyone notices patterns, so match the rest of your outfit to compliment the one on your sweater. Go for an understated look with the rest of your clothing. Pair your sweater with clean jeans and simple, no-frills shoes.  Argyle, which consists of colored, interlocking diamonds, is one of the most popular patterns available. Keep the rest of your outfit plain to avoid color conflicts. You could wear a plain sports jacket over it to keep it stylish. Houndstooth, checkered, and black and white patterns also tend to be popular and stylish. The most expensive sweaters are made from animal fur like wool and cashmere, so you can expect they will keep you warm. Cotton is a more affordable option that gives you plenty of style options during cool weather. There are also synthetic sweaters made from material like polyester that are lower-quality but often more durable and comfortable against bare skin.  You get what you pay for most of the time. Wool and cashmere tend to be expensive but of a high quality. Many synthetic sweaters attempt to mimic these qualities but are poorly-made, so always give your clothing a test wear before buying. The more expensive the sweater, the more delicate it is likely to be. Wool and cashmere,...

Recognize your own emotional triggers. Offer to listen to their feelings without changing your mind. Step away while they’re crying or throwing a tantrum. Give them the benefit of the doubt when they try to be nice. Model healthy behaviors.

First, combine these spices in a large, sealable bowl: six minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves, the juice of three limes and one lemon, one teaspoon of cumin, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix well. Place the flank steak into the bowl and coat with the mixture. Cover and place into the refrigerator. Allow the steak to marinate for at least one hour – but do not marinate overnight. Lightly grease the grill grates of an outdoor grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season it on both sides (lightly) with salt and pepper. Cook the steak on the grill, flipping once, until the steak has reached your desired doneness. Once the steak has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain into thin slices. You'll need 3 ripe avocados (peeled and pitted); the juice of one lime; one teaspoon of salt; half a cup of diced onion; 3 tablespoons of fresh chopped cilantro; 1 teaspoon of fresh, minced garlic; and one pinch of cayenne pepper. First, mash the avocados in a medium bowl. Squeeze the lime juice and season with salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, garlic, and cayenne pepper. When the guacamole is ready, cover it and refrigerate it until you are ready to dole it into the burrito. If you don't want to make the guacamole fresh from scratch, you can use pre-made or store-bought guacamole. Feel free to simply slice avocado directly into the burrito. Avocado (in whatever form) is a crux of the California burrito. . You can buy frozen, pre-shaped fries, or you can cut your own fries from raw potatoes.

Those closest to you have a special ability to manipulate you because you love and care about them so much. Also, they know you well, so they know how to really get under your skin. They’ll be able to target which appeal to your emotions will get them what they want:  Love can be used to soften you up, making you feel as though you can’t say “no.” Anger or apathy can be used to make you feel unloved and defensive. Criticism can make you feel like you aren’t doing enough as a lover, sister, or parent. Suffering (theirs) can make you feel guilty for not helping them have a perfect life. Helplessness can make you feel pity for them. Explosiveness can make you feel fearful of them. Sometimes the person might be feeling actual distress, and it helps to talk it out with them. However, you can’t give them what they want. Otherwise, you will encourage the manipulation. You might say, “I’m not going to give you any money, but I love you and want you to feel better. Why don’t you tell me how you’re feeling.” Listen to what they have to say, then share how you feel. It’s okay to take a break from the situation if their behavior is out of control. Their dramatics are meant to manipulate you. They’re hoping you’ll feel bad for not giving them what they want.  Remind yourself that you are not the one who’s causing them to behave this way. They’re doing it to themselves. Tell them, “I’m going to make us some tea while you cry it out. I’ll be back in a few minutes when you calm down.” Unfortunately, emotional blackmail can make you develop a skepticism toward your loved one. This can make you doubt their intentions, even when they aren’t trying to manipulate you. If you accuse them of manipulating them when they aren’t, it harms the relationship. Let’s say your sister texts you to say she loves you and thinks you’re a good sister. You might think she’s trying to get something out of you, but give her the benefit of the doubt.

Pick a quality bag. Pick a bag that fits. Look at smaller backpacks. Consider a rolling backpack. Weigh the bag.

This will match everything and can be dressed up or down, so it is a must have in any capsule wardrobe. A good quality white tee that is not see through can actually be hard to find and is worth spending extra money on. Choose the style that flatters you best. You can pair it with a skirt or jeans and layer it under your blazer or jacket. Wear it alone on a warm day, layer under a sheer blouse, or with your blazer or cardigan. This can be any style that looks good on you. Some examples are button up, wrap style, printed, and chambray. It can be dressed up with a skirt or trousers or casual with jeans. This will be great a slightly cooler day. For even more warmth you can layer with a blazer or jacket. This instantly dresses up your outfit. It can be worn with skirt, trousers, or jeans. Blazers are great staples for women and men. Layer one with blouses, tank tops, and tees. Wear it with skirt, trousers, or jeans. The quintessential “little black dress” doesn’t have to be little, but it should be black. Every woman should own one. Black works with many occasions and is slimming. You can layer with a cardigan, blazer, or scarf to mix up the look. Jeans go with everything and can be worn almost anywhere. This is a staple in any  closets. When buying jeans, don't look for trends (e.g. rips and tears) but for quality and comfort and for what flatters your shape. For men, choose chinos. These can be worn to work or for a nice evening out. Ankle pants are a great alternative to slacks. A tailored pair of trousers can be worn for multiple occasions depending on what you pair it with. A black skirt will match everything similar to how blue jeans match everything. A gray or white skirt could work as well. Choose something not too short or frilly. A well chosen skirt will be appropriate for work or going out in the evenings. These are a little nicer than tees and a staple in any man’s wardrobe. Depending on what you do for work, you may need more of these or none at all. If you wear a suit every day then include a...

While some bags may be unnecessarily overpriced, you will find that good quality backpacks with more features and strong materials will cost you a bit more. You'll want to choose quality here, because the longer the bag stays in good shape, the more of a routine you can build around it. Look at canvas bags with reinforced seams costing around the $40.00 range. While you may think that backpacks are one size fits all, know that there are several factors that will make the bag fit better to your frame. You'll have to pay attention to the shoulder straps and the center of gravity.  Make sure the bag has two, wide straps. There are some backpacks that double as shoulder bags: while stylish, they won't be very good for carrying heavy weight as they'll put more weight on one side of your spine. Two wide straps will distribute the weight of the bag evenly to both your shoulders, while narrow straps will dig in and cause pain. Make sure the straps rest comfortably on your shoulders, and aren't too wide or too close together. Too close together, and the straps may feel tight and constricting while resting too close to your neck. Too far apart and they may tend to slip off your shoulders. Check the center of gravity. The heaviest of your books and belongings will rest at the very bottom of the bag, so you want to make sure that that center of weight isn't too low. The bottom of the backpack should rest at your hip line, or right about the height where you'd wear a belt. While your first thought may be to buy the roomiest backpack so you can fit more inside, think about buying a smaller bag. The smaller it is, the less you'll be tempted to overload it. While they might not be considered to be very cool, a rolling backpack can be loaded with a more weight than a carried backpack and can prevent injury too. If you think that you're going to be carrying a lot of heavy books, look into rolling backpacks or briefcases. Make sure they're allowed at your school though, as some schools consider them tripping hazards. You'll...
