Your husband may start being subtly passive aggressive without him even noticing it. The trick is to pick up on the behaviors before things spiral out of control. You may notice him slipping in his responsibilities ever so slightly, procrastinating more than usual, or finding excuses for things. When you notice these signs, you can disengage from the conflict before more overt passive aggression comes forth. While your first reaction may be to nag him or explode on him for his behavior, resist the urge to do so. You may turn into a parent role, which won’t go well for you or your husband. It’s unlikely you want to parent your husband, and it’s unlikely he wants to be placed in the child role in your marriage. If you feel yourself about to react, stop yourself and take a moment. Think about the way you feel and what thoughts are going through your head. Take a deep breath before saying anything. Don’t play his game. If you start in on the passive aggressiveness, then you will cycle the behavior until both of you are utterly unhappy. Instead, approach him in saying, “We have a problem that we need to work through.” If he is chronically late, say, “We have a difficulty getting out of the house in time when we have places to be. What do you think would be helpful in ensuring we get places on time?” Maybe his lines used to work in guilting you or accepting blame, but put an end to it. Don’t let these tactics work on you any longer. If he says, “I’m not mad” but clearly is, make a request for him to be honest with you and share how he is feeling. If he says, “I was only joking”, make sure you communicate that those kind of jokes are disrespectful and not appreciated. If he says, “Why are you so mad?” Communicate clearly that his behavior is upsetting. “When you don’t communicate with me, it’s really frustrating. I’d like to know what’s going on that feels challenging to you.”

TL;DR in English: Notice the warning signs. Avoid escalating the conflict. Be assertive. Stand firm.

Conversations are like plants, you have to water them or they'll just shrivel up and die. You need to give something for a girl to respond to in a conversation, or the conversation will die. When you respond to something she has said, avoid lame replies, single-word answers, and you'll keep the conversation going.  If she asks, "What's up?" don't say, "Nothing" or "Just chilling." Be specific and give her the light-hearted details: "Helping my dad comb through ten years of strange auto-parts in the garage. We are the automotive Indiana Jones of the block. You?" If she says something funny, it's ok to write a quick "ha" or "lol" if you must, but it's a lot better to actually respond to what she says. If she sends you a hilarious picture of a bulldog on a waterslide, laugh at it, but then say, "Current mood?" or "That dog is my spirit animal" or "I suddenly feel so close to you." Even if she doesn't ask you a question directly, or say something that's pretty interesting, try to respond in a specific way to reignite the conversation. Keep following up to keep her at ease and talking. Let her talk about herself and be a good "listener" while you talk via text.  If she says, "School was so boring today" don't just let it drop, follow up. Say, "What was the most boring thing?" or "But what was the most EXCITING thing that happened in your boring day?" Get her talking by asking questions. If she's being really closed, just saying, "lol" or something to that effect, it may be better to just end the conversation instead of doing all the work yourself. She might be distracted, or just not that into talking right now. Don't get upset, just talk later. Some studies show that we're actually attracted to gentle teasing, because it creates a kind of electric energy in the conversation. If you want to inject a little tension into your texting conversations, teasing her just a little (be nice now) can make your texts a little more thrilling. If she just put up a bunch of selfies on Facebook, text her: "Scrolling through all...

Someone who is asleep will respond to stimuli. One way to determine if someone is sleeping is by talking to them. Kneel or bend next to the person and gently say their name, tell them to open their eyes, or ask them if they are all right. Repeat this for five minutes or until the person wakes up. For example, “Jim, are you awake? If you can hear me, open your eyes. Jim?” Place your hand on their shoulder and gently shake them. You can do this in combination with saying their name or asking if they are awake. Do not shake them aggressively, shake their head, slap, or flick their face. You can also try gently rubbing their cheek or head/forehead to wake the person up. Turning on the radio or TV, closing the door, loudly tapping on something, or playing an instrument may prompt someone to wake up, as well. However, do not play or make loud noises too close to the person’s ear. This may startle the person or cause damage to their hearing.

Then, carefully cut the rack of ribs into serving portions that are 2-3 ribs each.  If you do not want to trim and portion the ribs yourself, ask your local butcher if they would mind prepping the rack of ribs for you. Remember to wash your hands before and after handling the raw meat to avoid cross-contamination.

Decide if you want to focus on a specific industry—such as builders, lawyers, or IT professionals—or multiple. Afterwards, decide if you're going to put candidates on a contract (temporary or part-time), direct hire employment (full-time), or both. Study the structure of other recruitment agencies to understand the benefits and challenges of the various agency types to help you decide the best focus for you. For example, you might decide to fill only temporary job openings across many different industries. Be specific about the area of recruiting for which you wish to focus, such as executive recruiting for the banking industry. Whatever your choice, make sure you have interest in the niche, as well as some sort of value (such as a list of contacts or industry knowledge). Make a list of all of the niches in your industry of choice and compare your experience and contacts in each to help you make your decision. Work for a recruitment firm before starting your own agency and get a feel for the focus you're most comfortable with. If your goal is to recruit for a specific industry, consider working in that industry first. For example, work for a recruitment firm for lawyers if you are interested in law or have a relevant degree. Get a feel for the kind of law you're most comfortable with to help you narrow down the focus for your own business. Purchase training materials, sign-up for a recruiting webinars, or watch recruiter training videos. Gaining a solid understanding of recruitment strategies and industry standards is necessary to select your focus and develop skills within your niche.  Search for local recruitment courses near you if you prefer face-to-face training. Research the trainers and industry experts that take part in your chosen courses or webinars to ensure they are applicable to your interests. After getting some experience and training, ask yourself how comfortable you are working on your own. If you're still not confident, ask contacts within the industry you plan to focus on if they know of...

You must make sure that both the female (dam) and male (sire) are healthy and genetically fit for breeding, and that their vaccinations are current. Testing should be done for conditions that the Shih Tzu breed is prone to, such as heritable eye diseases, Hip Dysplasia, Renal Dysplasia, thyroid disorders, and hearing loss. Once a dog is cleared of one of these conditions, it can be registered with the appropriate registry (e.g. once a dog is tested and cleared of heritable eye diseases, it can be registered with the the local Canine Eye Registry).> The female Shih Tzu should get a thorough pre-breeding physical examination by a veterinarian about a month before breeding begins. Ideally, your Shih Tzu should have her first litter after her second heat cycle but before she's reached the age of 4. Because of health risks, dogs older than 7 should not be bred. Female Shih Tzus stay in heat (i.e. the period in a dog’s reproductive cycle when she is receptive to mating) for approximately 16 days, but are usually not receptive to males on the first day of this period. If a female is not ready to mate, she will run from or avoid a male; if she is ready, she will stay and move her tail to the side to signal her readiness. Put up flyers, take out a classified ad, or look online for possible studs. Remember that, as a general rule, a male should be smaller than the female Shih Tzu it  breeds with by a pound or two. It should also complement your female Shih Tzu in terms of attributes and qualities, and offer genetic strengths that will result in strong, quality offspring (e.g.  a good coat). Before breeding occurs, you should work out a contract with the stud's owner outlining obligations, fees, and payment. Stud fees can run between $250-$1000, depending on the quality of the male. but some contracts will outline other forms of payment to the stud's owner (e.g. the pick of the litter in lieu of cash payment). Both parties should sign and keep a copy of the contract. Given that females are more comfortable in new...

The line between being an employee and being a subcontractor can get pretty hazy in many circumstances. The sticking points tend to be the amount of control the prime contractor/employer asserts over how you do the work. If needed, consult an attorney for clarification, or contact a taxing body such as the IRS in the U.S.  According to the IRS, for instance, the criteria for drawing the line between an employee and a subcontractor rests on 3 components: the amount of behavioral control the prime contractor/employer asserts (that is, how the work is done); the amount of financial control you have over the work you do; and the way in which the parties view the relationship (as per their contract and actual interactions). If you are determined to be an employee, you’ll likely be eligible for benefits and workplace protections, but also be subject to tax withholding and greater control by your employer. As a subcontractor, you’ll receive payment from the prime contractor, who in turn receives payment from the client. Make sure it is clearly stated in your contract when you’ll be paid in relation to when the prime contractor is paid by the client. Otherwise, you might be stuck in limbo waiting to be paid for work you’ve already done.  For instance, if the prime contractor’s contract with the client states that they will be paid within 14 days of the completion of the job, your contract might state that you’ll be paid within 7 days of the prime contractor receiving payment. If possible, negotiate a contract that stipulates that you’ll be paid within a certain time frame (e.g., within 7 days of completing your part of the job) regardless of when or if the client pays the prime contractor. As a subcontractor, you should be given fairly wide latitude to do the job in the manner you see fit, so long as you meet the requirements of the contract. That said, some prime contractors take a more hands-on approach than others, so you should clearly discuss this beforehand—and, if possible, clarify it in your contract. If...

TL;DR in English: Get legal confirmation that you're a subcontractor, if necessary. Establish clearly how and when you will be paid. Determine how much supervision and input the prime contractor wants. Build a great word-of-mouth reputation by excelling at your work.

Real rubies glow with a deep, vivid, almost "stoplight" red. Fake gems are often dull: they are "light, but not bright." If the gem is more of a dark red, then it may be garnet instead of a ruby. If it is a real ruby, however, know that darker stones are usually worth more than lighter stones.  Check for a consistent and even color throughout the stone. Fakes are more likely to contain blemishes and impure spots. That said: rubies do sometimes have imperfections. Use the "stoplight red" as a guide, but do not expect to find a real ruby that is actually that bright. If you do, then the ruby is likely fake. A real ruby should be more like a bright traffic light, however, than like a dull stone. Rubies and other varieties of sapphire are often faked as glass. If the glass and stone look similar, then you may just be holding two pieces of red glass! It is relatively common for dealers to fake rubies using a glass composite. Real rubies are extremely hard stones. Grind a fingernail or a coin into the surface of the "ruby" and see if you are able to scratch it. If the ruby shows a scratch, then there's a good chance that it is not a real ruby. Only a diamond can scratch a ruby. Composite rubies are not as durable as real rubies. There is a chance that the ruby is not a complete "fake," and just a machine-made stone. Gently scratch the stone against a hard, smooth surface: porcelain tile or a piece of clear glass. The stone should scratch the surface whether or not it is a "ruby." The tip-off, however, comes if the "ruby" leaves a red mark on the surface where you scratched it. The red mark might be a sign that the gem is artificially colored. It might tell you that the "gem" is actually made from a much weaker material. The stones commonly used as ruby imitations include garnets, tourmaline, glass, and composite gems.  Garnets are dull, dark-red silicate minerals. They are much softer than a ruby. Tourmaline is a reddish-pink silicate mineral. Tourmaline is somewhat harder than a garnet, but much softer than the...

It generally takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet (9.29 square meters). Asphalt shingle "bundles" are actually sealed in packages (the term bundle comes from wooden shingles which actually came tied up with wire in bundles). Measure your roof and buy appropriately. Measure the length and width of the individual sections of the roof, multiplying them together to determine the area. Add the areas of each section together, then divide by 100 to get the correct number of squares. Multiply this number by 3 to get the number of bundles you'll need to buy. This will help determine how the shingles will lay on the roof width. Most asphalt shingles are 3 feet (91.4 centimeters) in length. If your roof's width is not an even multiple of the shingle's length, you will have a partial piece on one end of each row. The bottom row of shingles must hang past the edge of the roof. For a wood shingle roof you would have to cut the shingles that go on the edge to create a straight line to accommodate this. Start removing the shingles at the peak farthest from the trash container, or the corner you want to collect the shingles in. Use a garden fork or a roofing shovel to pull them off quickly, use the hammer-method and go by hand for a more thorough job. Make sure that you protect the sides of the house and the windows during this process, such as by leaning a large piece of plywood against the house below where you are working. Otherwise you might break a window or damage the siding.   Pry up the nails and loosening the ridge caps. It's ok if you don't get all the nails at first, because you'll have a chance to go back through and remove them later. Remove the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys in the roof. Flashing in the valleys will almost always be trashed, especially. Some roofers will keep some of the flashing that's in good shape, but it's probably worth junking it all when you've got the chance. Sweep the roof as clean as possible. Remove nails that didn't come up earlier. Reattach...

TL;DR in English: Get the right number of shingles for the job. Measure the length of a shingle as it lies across the roof. Remove old shingles and flashing. Clean the roof. Install underlayment and new flashing. Choose the kind of starter course you will use. Use chalk lines to make a guide for yourself.

To replace shingles, you'll obviously need shingles to replace the ones you remove and the materials necessary to secure. Most shingles that are in need of replacement are three-tab asphalt shingles. If your roof involves some other variety of shingle, you'll need to match your new shingles to the old. To complete the job properly, you'll need:  Replacement shingles. Buy more than you'll need at the home repair store. You should be able to count up how many damaged shingles will need replacement and buy accordingly. It's good to have replacements on hand. Shingle cement or adhesive. Some shingles come with adhesive strips pre-installed, making this unnecessary. If you buy unbacked shingles, though, you might need to purchase additional adhesive to secure them to the roof before nailing them. It's a good idea to buy it to secure other loose shingles anyway. Roofing nails. Most three-tab shingles will be pre-cut with guide holes that will make the installation process very simple. To secure them, you'll need roofing nails, which are heavy-duty, and about two or three inches long. Place a new shingle in the same position as the shingle you removed. If the shingles are backed with adhesive strip, remove the covering and push them into place, then nail them to secure them. Most shingles have pre-cut holes for nails, usually three per shingle. Follow the directions of the shingles that you purchase, or use the other shingles on the roof as a guide. Lift each tab slightly on the shingles as you install them, and apply a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter spot of shingle cement under each tab. Press tabs down into the cement firmly and secure the shingle into place. Continue installing shingles and securing them with adhesive accordingly, until you've installed all the damaged shingles along the row. After you've finished the damage portion, you can start working your way back up the roof, retailing the loose shingles into place, as long as they're in good shape, and using the adhesive to secure them back onto the roof.

Don't travel to high-risk countries if you are in this group and/or don't bring young children with you.

Be very cautious of underdeveloped tropical areas. Be particularly careful if your immune system is weak. Avoid contaminated blood. Take preventative measures if traveling to at-risk areas.

Most people really like to talk about themselves. It feels good when someone is genuinely interested in your opinion and experiences and wants you to share those things. Ask about his hobbies or his favorite bands and movies. People tend to have a very positive opinion about people who ask them questions about themselves. Make sure you weigh in, too. The conversation shouldn't be all about him. Share your own thoughts and opinions (and don't feel you always have to agree with him). You may think that flirting up a storm with other guys will show him that you're desirable and have other options, but playing hard to get rarely works. Research shows that we are more attracted to people who are selective. So if you're in a group and none of the other guys seem to hold your attention, but you have a big smile just for your crush, you're going to catch his interest. This doesn't mean you have to be rude, mean, or ignore other guys. But if you were thinking about flirting with someone just to make your crush jealous, you might want to think again. If he knows everything about you right off the bat, he'll lose the fun and anticipation of slowly getting to know what makes you tick. So hold back a little bit. Don't call, message, or text him constantly. Give him the time and room to think and wonder about you. Let him be curious about you and what you're doing. Don't ignore him or be rude, but don't always be available.

If you plan on changing the color of the wall beneath the stripes, you should do so before you add the chevron pattern.  Let the base paint dry and cure for at least three days.  Note that if you are satisfied with the color of the walls already and the paint is still in good shape, you can skip this step. At the top of your wall, or at the top of the portion to be painted, use a pencil to mark each peak for your top chevron stripe. The peaks should be spaced apart evenly.  Use a level and yardstick to make sure that the peaks are also in an even horizontal line. Otherwise, you could end up with a chevron stripe that slopes downward. Chevron stripes consist of peaks and valleys. The pattern should be even, so in order to accomplish this, the distance between the peaks should be the same as the distance between the valleys. Note that a larger gap in between peaks will result in a wider set pattern while smaller gaps will create a tighter pattern. Use a pencil to mark the peaks of the second row beneath the peaks of the first. The vertical distance between peaks should be exactly the same as the horizontal distance, and the new peaks should be vertically even with the previous peaks.  Repeat for the remaining rows. Use a yardstick and level to keep the peaks even both horizontally and vertically. Use a pencil to lightly mark the valleys of each chevron stripe. With the exception of the top row, each row of peaks should coincide with a row of valleys. The valley points should be spaced evenly in between each pair of peak points.  All the valleys should be vertically aligned with one another. Use a yardstick and a level to keep the points even. Note that you will also need a final row of valley points below the final row of peak points. Lay small strips of painters tape to create the outline of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape peak to valley, valley to peak, peak to valley, valley to peak, and so on, until all the dots are connected.  When done, you should see the shape of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape so...

The biggest risk factor for coming down with malaria is either living in or traveling to tropical countries where the infection is common.  The most risky areas are African countries south of the Sahara Desert, most of the Asian subcontinent, Haiti, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 90% of all malaria deaths occur in Africa — mostly in kids younger than five years. Approximately 1,500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, mostly in returned travelers. People with immature or weakened immune systems are especially susceptible of getting infected by Plasmodium parasites and developing malaria. This group includes infants, children younger than five years, pregnant women, the elderly and patients with HIV/AIDS. As such, don't travel to high-risk countries if you are in this group and/or don't bring young children with you.  Strong immune systems can fight off malarial infections, which means the majority of people bitten by infected mosquitoes either don't get the disease or develop only mild short-term symptoms. Supplements that can boost your immune system include: vitamins A, C and D, zinc, selenium, echinacea, olive leaf extract and astragalus root. Be aware that these will not prevent malaria or its consequences. The Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria primarily infect the liver, but also the red blood cells within blood. Consequently, people can also catch malaria by being exposed to contaminated (infected) blood. Common modes of transmission due to contaminated blood include blood transfusions, sharing needles to inject drugs and childbirth (from an infected mother to her unborn child).  Hemophiliacs and people who lose lots of blood from injuries are at higher risk of malaria from blood transfusions, particularly if they life in Africa or Asia. Malaria is not considered an STD (sexually transmitted disease), although there is a small chance of contracting it via sexual practices if the blood from one partner...

Pedigrees can be laid out in a variety of orientations. Assess whether the chart is oriented either vertically or horizontally on the page. Look at the orientation of the words to understand which direction it should be held. The lines on a pedigree can indicate biological or personal relationships. On a pedigree that is oriented vertically, a horizontal line connecting two individuals indicates a reproductive relationship, such as a marriage. A line that connects individuals vertically indicates the biological relationship of parent and child.  On a pedigree that is oriented horizontally the vertical lines indicate a reproductive relationship and the horizontal lines indicate the relationship of parent and child. Two short lines crossing a horizontal line typically indicate the end of a committed relationship. A pedigree is typically organized so that each generation of people or animals is positioned in a separate row. For example, your subject and all of their siblings will be located on the same row. The subject's parents and all of their siblings will be on the same row. These generational rows will continue on as far back as the pedigree goes.  These generational rows are not shown with actual row lines per se. They are just shown through the position of these subjects on the page next to each other. On some genetic pedigrees there may also be roman numerals off to the side that indicate the specific generations. There are a few symbols on a genetic pedigree that are generally used. In particular, there are standard symbols used to distinguish between male and female subjects. If a person or animal is female, they will be represented with a circle. If a person or animal is a male, they will be represented with a square. Whether a square or circle is filled in gives you key information. A filled in circle or square indicates that the presence of a trait. An empty circle or square indicates the absence of a trait. In some cases there will be circles or squares half filled in. This indicates that the...

Make sure to only place one value in each cell. For example, if you need to find the harmonic mean of 10, 12, 16, and 8, you might type each of these values into a separate cell in the spreadsheet, cells A1-A4. The function is HARMEAN(number 1, [number 2]...). To select the function, begin typing “=HARMEAN” into a blank cell of the spreadsheet, then double-click on the function when it pops up. For example, type “=HARMEAN” into cell A5 of your spreadsheet and double-click on the function. Hit the enter key. Excel will calculate the harmonic mean for you and display it in the spreadsheet. For example, highlight cells A1-A4 of your spreadsheet and hit enter. Excel will calculate 10.78652 as the harmonic mean.

Avoid using photo paper; it is too thick, and there's that the colors may run. You can try using this method on regular photos as well, but be aware that you may damage them. Trace the side of the item onto the photo first, if needed. Next, cut the photo down with a paper slicer or a metal ruler and craft blade. You can do this using a foam brush or a wide, flat paintbrush. If you want to, you can also brush the Mod Podge onto the back of the photo as well. Smooth the paper out with a rubber roller or a brayer to smooth the photo down. Start from the center of the photo and roll your way outwards. Ensure that there are no wrinkles or bubbles. Extend the Mod Podge past the edges of the photo to help seal it in. Don't worry, you will be adding more coat of Mod Podge on top. Wait for about 30 minutes, then brush on a second coat of Mod Podge. If need to add a third coat, let the second one dry first. This will take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending what you used. Read the label on your bottle to be sure. Once the Mod Podge has dried, you can display your project. If you are going to apply photos to the other sides of your item, now is the time to do so.

A driving rehabilitation specialist can observe you driving and help you find ways to develop more ergonomic habits. If your profession involves driving, talk to your employer or union representative. Contact your local jurisdiction's department of driver services for more information about driver rehabilitation. You can also find resources on the Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists website. Ask your primary care doctor to examine the affected area. They can offer pain management tips, a prescription medication, or refer you to a specialist. Check with your insurer to make sure any medication or specialist care is covered and in-network to avoid unexpected medical bills. Ask your doctor or specialist if your arm pain indicates any potential muscle, bone, or joint issues. Frequent driving or improper driving habits can result in issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, repetitive strain injury, or bursitis.  Driving can also cause and aggravate arthritis, especially in older adults. Describe the motions that cause pain, the affected areas, and whether the pain is dull or sharp. Ask your doctor or specialist, “Are my symptoms signs of any chronic disorders? Will medication or physical therapy be effective treatment options?” If your pain continues despite adopting ergonomic driving habits, your doctor can recommend a variety of treatments. Common options include anti-inflammatory or anti-pain medication and physical therapy. Depending on the severity of your case, your doctor may also recommend other treatments, such as cortisone injections, steroid injections, or surgery.

TL;DR in English: Consult a driving rehabilitation specialist. Make an appointment with your primary doctor. Ask about musculoskeletal disorders. Discuss your treatment options.

If there are borders around your flower bed made of plastic, metal, or some other material and you no longer want to use them, pull them carefully out of the ground. Discard this old material. If you cannot pull this up by hand, try working a small hand trowel or pry bar under the bottom edge and levering it out. Sometimes the edging is anchored with stakes, so be sure to remove them first. If there is an existing border, and you want to keep the edging where it is, then you are ready for the next step. If you want to change where an existing border is positioned, or if you are making a completely new one, then you will need to mark on the ground where you want the border to be. Straight lines can be fine. Many people prefer curved edges, however, and they may make your flower bed look bigger. You can use a garden hose, string, or marking paint. Put the hose or other marking material on the ground where you want the actual edge to be.

TL;DR in English: Start by removing existing edging material, if there is any. Decide where you want the edge line to be. Make a guide to follow when you start cutting the actual edge.

You can't reduce your carbon emissions if you don't know where they're coming from. Once you've identified sources of carbon dioxide production in your daily life, you can come up with ways to reduce your dependency on those sources.  Driving is the main source of most people’s carbon dioxide emissions. Other sources include air travel and household energy consumption. You also should look at the products you buy and use. If they were shipped long distances to get to you, carbon emissions were involved in their transport. Carbon emissions also occur when products are built in factories. If you buy those products, you are also contributing to carbon emissions that way. Make a list of the ways in which you produce carbon dioxide, like driving, air travel, and household energy consumption. Then, search online for a carbon footprint calculator that you can use to get a rough estimate of the size of your carbon footprint.  Just do a search for "carbon footprint calculator" online, or check the website of a nonprofit environmental organization to see if there's one they recommend. Since these calculators may vary in their methodologies, you may want to use more than one and average the results. The more information the calculator allows you to enter, the closer to reality the estimate will be. Since driving typically makes up a large portion of your carbon footprint, one easy way to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions directly is to use your car less. Take public transportation, walk, or ride a bike when you can.  Try to do multiple errands at once so you take fewer trips, and start a carpool at work. There are ways you can increase the fuel efficiency of your car, or you may want to consider living without a car altogether. If you're in the market for a new car, you can reduce your carbon footprint by buying one that is hybrid or fully electric. on heating and electricity in your home. The carbon dioxide produced by the electricity or other fuel that you use to light and heat your home is another big source of...

Revenge comes from feeling diminished by your aggressor and subsequently, you feel ashamed that you allowed this to happen. Such feelings may cause you to feel angry, leading to your desire to seek revenge.  Emotions are felt physically, so recognizing the physical signs of each emotion can help you get them under control. For example, when you are angry, your blood pressure rises and heat radiates from your shoulders through the back of your head. Your emotions can drive your decision making by creating a deeper connection to each decision. When you are feeling angry, you might make more rash decisions than if you felt happy. Putting your feelings into words can help you come to terms with them and clarify your thoughts. Writing down your feelings can help reduce the intensity of your feelings, and help lessen your deep-seated desire for revenge. If you do not like to write you feelings down on paper, try talking to someone about your emotions. Find a trusted friend or family member and tell them exactly what is going on: how you feel, who was involved, the reasons for wanting revenge, how you think revenge will make you feel, etc... . Go to a quiet room, sit on the floor, close your eyes and focus on taking slow, deep breaths. While you are meditating, try to empty your mind of all negative thoughts and concentrate on positive things in your life. Mediation has been scientifically shown to reduce stress and may be a great coping mechanism for your desires for revenge. It can slow your thoughts and help you feel calm and centered. Your emotions may become overwhelming and difficult to handle. At times like these, try repeating positive affirmations to yourself to remind you that even though you aren’t in control of the situation, you are in control of your response. These are some mantras you could try repeating to yourself:  “Things could be worse.” “I will take charge of my response to this person’s actions.” “I can make it through this.” “This is only temporary.”

TL;DR in English: Understand the basic emotions. Write down your feelings. Meditate Repeat self-calming statements.

Run your thumb and index finger across the crease to ensure the leaf folds neatly and firmly. Roll it downward into a tight roll. Keep a firm hold on the bottom and smooth it over as you roll downward. Add a few dabs of hot glue to the inside ends of the rolled leaf to hold the roll in place. Allow a few minutes for the glue to dry before using it.    Make sure the full leaf is facing upward with the rolled piece sitting directly in the middle (along the middle vein). The rolled leaf should be sitting in the front (and center area) of the folded leaf. Grasp the right side of the folded leaf and roll it inward, toward the rolled leaf. Tuck underneath the other side of the bottom area of the rolled leaf and add a dab of hot glue. Fold the leaf in half, backwards with the crease running along the top of the rolled/folded leaf.     Roll the sides inward, following the same way you folded/rolled the previous leaf but this time, bend the edges/ends outward so they resemble a flowering petal.     Glue the ends and hold until dry.

TL;DR in English: Fold one leaf in half. Hold the folded leaf on its side. Place the glued rolled leaf in the middle of the next leaf. Fold the full leaf in half (backwards) and crease along the top of the rolled leaf. Wrap the folded leaf around the rolled leaf. Select another leaf and repeat the process by laying the rolled/folded leaf in the middle of the full leaf.

Make sure the can is fully immersed and that there’s an extra two inches (five cm) of water covering the can. This will prevent the can from overheating and possibly exploding, and prevent the milk from burning. By placing the can on its side, you will prevent it from bouncing around as the water boils. When it begins to simmer, turn it down to medium heat and allow to simmer for two to three hours (two hours for a lighter dulce de leche, or three hours if you want the sauce thicker and darker). Check on the can every 30 minutes. Turn the can every half hour to prevent scorching. Top up the water as needed to ensure there’s always one to two extra inches (two-and-a-half to five cm) of water covering the can.

If you are a narcissistic extension, the narcissist will not think of you as a separate person. Therefore, they will feel entitled to your time and attention. They will not consider whether or not you have time to engage with them. They will just assume they deserve your energy.  A narcissist will expect from you whatever they expect or want for themselves. They will assume your needs and wants are the same as theirs, and therefore be very demanding of your attention. For example, if you're in a relationship with a narcissist, they may assume you're going out or staying in on any given night to suit their needs. They will become angry and even hostile if you express your need for alone time or socialization independent of them. They may be unable to understand that they do not deserve your constant attention. If you're a narcissistic extension, a narcissist sees you as an extension of themselves. Therefore, boundaries are non-existent in your relationship. A narcissist will not realize when you're becoming nervous or uncomfortable, and will continually push your boundaries in order to get you to serve their own needs.  For example, your girlfriend wants to take you hiking near the mountains, even though you've told her many times you're afraid of heights. She does not let it go until you agree to go with her. During the hike, you becoming increasingly panicked and uncomfortable as you get higher in the mountains. Your girlfriend does not seem concerned about your requests to stop.

Conversations with a narcissist can be very frustrating. A narcissist has very little sense of shame. As a narcissistic extension, you're expected to build up a narcissist even when conversations make you uncomfortable.

” If you’re crushing on someone you don’t know, a great way to express your interest is by simply approaching them. After you say hi, tell them your name and ask them theirs. Continue smiling as you come up with small talk questions, such as “What grade are you in?” or “Do you come here often?” Most people will understand the signal that a stranger approaching them and starting a conversation means that they’re interested. If they make eye contact with you and smile back, they may be interested in you too. Continue talking with them until you feel it’s a good time to ask them out. This is a way to let someone know you’re interested in them without coming out and saying it. Write your name and number down a piece of paper, fold it, and hand it to them. Then smile and walk away. If your crush is interested you, they’ll call or text you. If not, and they are someone you don’t see regularly, you won’t have to worry about it again! This is another way to give a signal that you’re interested without having to uncomfortably wait for a reaction. It works well whether you already know the person or not. If your crush is interested in you too, they will probably tell your friend this, or approach you at a later point in time. You can then confidently ask them out. Parties are great places to meet people, and if you spot someone you’re attracted to who’s dancing, walk up to them and start dancing with them. If they’re interested, they’ll keep dancing with you and possibly talk to you. If not, they’ll probably wander away from you shortly.

Magnesium and zinc can also be taken as oral supplements. Talk to a doctor for more information about taking magnesium as a supplement. It’s not a prescription medication, so can be purchased over the counter. This is a muscle relaxer that blocks pain sensations between the nerves and the brain. It is usually used with rest and physical therapy to help treat muscle pain and tension. Carisoprodol is prescribed for a limited period as it may be habit-forming. Talk to a doctor for more information about this drug. Your doctor may also recommend that you take Carisoprodol in conjunction with aspirin. This drug can be used for longer periods of time without a habit forming. It’s commonly prescribed to relieve low back pain associated with muscle spasm.  Cyclobenzaprine can be safe for pregnant women to take, but it should still only be taken under the recommendation and careful supervision of your obstetrician.

If this behavior occurred on your property, consult your local municipality. For encounters in a preserved forest or national park, report to the relevant forestry or parks district. If you encounter them in urban or suburban spaces, share this information with neighbors and your local animal control branch. Coyotes are creatures of habit. Be sure to change your routine if you see a coyote at the same time and place while walking your pet. Coyotes involved in biting attacks will be targeted and removed from the population. They are then often tested for rabies and are killed if found infected. However, it is important to note that an attack by an individual coyote does not warrant the general killing of coyotes. Recall that coyote attacks on humans are exceptionally rare.

TL;DR in English: Report any aggressive coyote behavior to the appropriate authorities. Keep track of when and where you encounter coyotes. Follow up with the health, animal control, or other authorities.

Do you have a favorite scary movie, or a favorite spooky character? Do you like zombies, or ghosts, or ghouls? Create a theme around that!  Your theme can dictate the kinds of costumes your guests wear. For example, you might host a Dead Rock Star party, where everyone must come dressed as their favorite dead rock star.  You can also theme your games and activities at your party. One idea is to have a pumpkin-themed party—have your guests compete to carve the best pumpkin, and then serve as judges for the finished products. and drinks to serve.

Use spooky sound effects and music to make the house even scarier. You can buy Halloween sound effects CDs or download them to play at the party. Use red and black lights to create a spooky ambiance in your haunted house and at your party.  Have friends volunteer to hide in the haunted house and jump out to scare other guests as they walk through. These can range from costume charades where your guests have to guess each other's costumes, to playing hide-and-seek in the backyard once it gets dark.  One fun game to create for your guests is a DIY costume table. Use some leftover materials from school projects or crafts and allow your guests to make their own masks when they arrive.  Another activity to try is to have your guests "guess the body part" in covered boxes. Use things like cooked noodles to...

While many cats are placid, easygoing, and like to sleep a lot, a Siamese is not this type of cat. In certain ways, having a Siamese is much more like owning a dog. Siamese cats are strong-willed and intelligent. If the Siamese sets its sights on doing something then they will do it regardless of the obstacles or consequences. Because of their intelligence and stubbornness, Siamese cats are very difficult to train. For example, a Siamese may ignore unpleasant experiences such as being squirted with water, which makes it difficult to deter them from bad behavior. A regular cat may chirp and purr sometimes, but the Siamese yowls and howls. A Siamese may keep howling and yowling for hours if it wants something. The Siamese cat’s howl is loud and quite annoying, which is what makes it so difficult to ignore Think about whether a noisy cat would annoy you or comfort you. If you want a cat because you are out a lot, then getting a Siamese cat may not be your best option. Siamese cats need attention and they will howl or destroy the place if they don't get it. These cats are needy and they demand your attention. If they don't get enough attention, they often resort to destructive behavior to take their minds off being alone. You will need to board your Siamese cat or hire a live-in pet sitter when you'll be away for more than one day, as your Siamese won't be able to tolerate human absence for any lengthy period. If you plan to get a Siamese kitten, then you will need to kitten proof your home. But even if you plan to get an adult Siamese, you will need to make sure that your home is safe for the cat. Siamese cats are very intelligent and curious. They may end up tangled in your electrical wires or climbing up into your shelves. Secure loose wires, put a screen on the fireplace, put child safety locks on all of your shelves, and keep fire out of reach.

TL;DR in English: Understand that Siamese cats differ from other cat breeds. Expect difficulty training your Siamese cat. Be aware that Siamese cats are extremely vocal. Keep in mind that Siamese cats crave company. Decide if you can make your home safe enough for a new cat or kitten.

You can use rolled oats or quick oats.  Quick oats, as their name suggests, cook faster than regular (rolled) oats, but they often end up mushier than rolled oats, and have less texture.  If you wish, you could combine both types. There is no “right” amount of oats you should use.  If you are quite hungry for oatmeal, you’ll probably want 1 cup or more.  If you are just having a snack, you’ll likely use about 1/2 cup of oatmeal. If you’re cooking 1 cup of oatmeal, boil 2 cups of water.  This will ensure the oats are cooked well.  For slightly thicker oatmeal, however, you could reduce the water-to-oats ratio from 2:1 to 3:2. Substitute milk for water if you want to enjoy a stickier, thicker oatmeal. When your water is boiling, add a dash of nutmeg, brown sugar, cinnamon, or allspice.  These spices will kick your oatmeal up a notch in flavor. Add about one teaspoon of each spice and one tablespoon of sugar per cup of oatmeal. Wait about 5 minutes for the oats to absorb it and cool to an edible temperature.  Add additional spices and flavorings if you wish.

TL;DR in English: Put your oats in a bowl. Boil twice as many cups of water as oatmeal. Add spices and flavorings to your water. Pour the water into the oatmeal.

The basis of Buddhist teaching is something called the Four Noble Truths, which are based on the idea that suffering is an intrinsic part of life, but that suffering can be ended by breaking the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. From the four truths come the Four Great Bodhisattva Vows, which are a path that can help you end suffering.  The first noble truth is the truth of suffering. The first bodhisattva vow is the vow to rescue living beings from suffering. In Buddhism, suffering refers to the physical and mental suffering of all human beings. The key to ending suffering is reaching nirvana, which can be done by living according to the Noble Eightfold Path (also known as the Middle Way). The two staples at the center of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths can be understood as the belief behind Buddhism, and the Noble Eightfold Path is the discipline and practice behind that belief. Living according to the Noble Eightfold Path includes:  Right speech, action, and livelihood. The key to following these three elements involve living according to the Five Precepts. Right effort, mindfulness, and concentration, which can be achieved by practicing meditation. Right understanding and thought, which come about when you practice meditation, cultivate mindfulness, and live according to the Five Precepts. The second noble truth is a recognition of the cause of suffering, which comes from desire, ignorance, and the craving of pleasure and material goods. The corresponding bodhisattva vow involves vowing to end desire and craving. Buddhist don't believe that suffering and desire can be ended easily. Rather, this is a pursuit that spans many lifetimes, but you can do your part by following the Noble Eightfold Path. The third noble truth is the understanding that suffering can end, and this means suffering both in life and in spiritual terms. The answer to the end of suffering is learning, enlightenment, and action. The corresponding vow for the third noble truth is to...

Determine face shape. Get detailed instructions for the particular cut you plan to make. Familiarize yourself with terminology.

Use a utility knife to cut through the caulk and paint holding the interior trim in place. Once the caulk is cut, work a pry bar into the opening. Put pressure on this to pull the interior trim away from the wall, removing it slowly so you can deal with any caulk, paint or glue that might still be present. There may be staples holding the top piece of trim to the side pieces as well. Repeat the same steps on the exterior trim.  Don’t skip cutting the caulk. If you pry the trim away without cutting the caulk first, you risk damaging the wall. Set the trim aside. You’ll need to re-attach it once the door has been installed. Grasp each section of the door firmly with both hands. Lift it straight up out of the running track, and pull the door backwards out of the frame. The doors are heavy, so should be removed one at a time. Each section of the door can weigh about 100 pounds (45 kg).  If you’re not comfortable lifting that much on your own, ask a friend to help you with the door removal and installation process. If you notice the bottom rollers are hanging up as you lift the door, get an assistant to pry them up gently as you move the door up and out. Once the trim has been removed, you can remove any nails that are left behind. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the screws which hold the frame of the sliding door to the wooden door frame. Remove screws on the left, right, top, and bottom sides of the sliding door.  Although you can use any screwdriver for this step, it’ll be more efficient to use an electric screwdriver. If the door is older, its screws may be stripped or caked with paint or caulk, making them difficult to remove with a screwdriver. Instead, have someone hold the door to stop it from falling while you use a reciprocating saw with a bimetal blade to cut between the door frame and the framing and quickly slice through any screws and nails.

TL;DR in English: Cut away the interior and exterior trim. Lift the doors out of place. Remove nails holding the door frame in place.

Some symptoms of a cold should be addressed, and treated, individually. While the general natural treatments will help, there are other things you can do to alleviate individual symptoms. Symptoms of the common cold can include:   Nasal dryness or irritation is often the first symptom. Sore throat or an irritated, itchy throat is another common first symptom. Nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and sneezing.  These usually get worse over the next 2-3 days after the first symptoms. The nasal discharge is usually clear and watery. It may become thicker and greenish-yellow. Headache or body aches. Watery eyes. Facial and ear pressure from congested sinuses. Loss of sense of smell and taste. Cough and/or hoarseness. A low-grade fever may occur, usually in infants and preschool children. For stuffy nose, put a couple drops eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree oil in a bowl of boiling water. Put your face over it (not too close — don't burn yourself on the steam!) and cover with towel to inhale steam. You can also put these oils right into your bathwater. You can use natural cough drops or throat sprays, which will help to moisturize your throat and ease discomfort. If you have a dry cough, milk will moisturize your throat and help you feel better. If you have a productive cough (with phlegm coming up) milk will increase the problem. If you are concerned about strep throat, a cough indicates that you do not have strep. For a general sore throat, gargle with warm salt water to kill bacteria. You can add one drop of tea tree oil to a warm salt water gargle, if available. This will help to kill bacteria in the throat. The common cold can be complicated by ear infections (otitis media), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), chronic bronchitis (lung inflammation with congestion and coughing) and worsening of asthma symptoms. If you have a combination of illnesses, it may be best to consult with a doctor to get the treatment you need.

TL;DR in English: Treat individual symptoms. Treat sinus congestion. Treat a cough. Treat a sore throat. Treat additional illnesses that could exacerbate your cold symptoms.

A hairstyle should work with a person's face shape and complement his or her features.  Oval.  An oval face shape is considered to be the one shape that can wear any type of style. Round.  A layered top that provides fullness and height and thinned out hair below the cheekbones all work to lengthen the look of the face and give the illusion of a narrower chin line. Heart shape.  Go for a style that offers more fullness lower on the face and less fullness at the forehead. Square.  The idea here is to soften the face so wispy bangs and wavy styles help to create this effect.  It's best to avoid straight lines, straight bangs and straight or flat hair for this face shape. Oblong.  Avoid flat, long straight hair because this will make the face look even longer. Consider a bang, especially a side-swept bang to create the illusion of a shorter forehead for the person with this longer face shape. Diamond. Choose a cut with lots of layers. Avoid bangs unless you go with a slightly off-center curtain bang. You don't want to "wing it" when it comes to creating a hairstyle.  Learn as much as you can about how to do a specific type of cut before you attempt it.  Watch online videos.  Check YouTube and websites dedicated to hair for videos that depict the steps involved in creating the hairstyle you've chosen.  Be sure the person who is doing the demonstration is an experienced stylist. Page through hair style magazines.  Some magazines offer tutorials with photos that will show you how to do your cut. Check out sites belonging to hair product companies.  Companies that produce and/or sell hair products often include "how-to's" on their websites.   Instagram and Pinterest are also great for inspiration. You need to understand some of the specialized terms stylists use when talking about cutting hair so that you can follow instructions more easily.  Angle indicates the position of the scissors when cutting; you may be holding them vertically, horizontally, or at 45 degrees. Elevation refers to which direction the hair is...

She will also have to learn the fact that some vowel sounds are spelled using two vowel letters, such as the "ou" vowel sound in the word round. Before moving on to syllable division, ask your student to accomplish the following tasks:  Know the difference between a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound. Be able to determine a vowel sound for one-syllable words based on the consonants around it. Recognize common English word patterns. For example, they should learn that many consonant-vowel-consonant words involve a short vowel sound, as in rat or tot, whereas many consonant-vowel-consonant-e words involve a long vowel sound, as in rate or tote.  Memorize common vowel sounds that are spelled with two vowel letters, such as "ou," "oi," "ie," "ea," and "ei." Many of the rules of syllabication are approximations. There are no exact rules that can be applied 100% of the time. Much of correct syllabication has to do with instinct and experience. This is why it is essential that you are helping to build your students' vocabularies and reading skills at the same time that you teach syllabication.  For example, continue to ask students to read increasingly difficult texts to expose them to new words, longer words, and new sounds. Assign vocabulary lists to memorize. Make sure you tell students how to pronounce these words as well. Encourage your students to listen carefully to other speakers to hear how words are pronounced and divided into syllables. Whether you are teaching young children, new learners of the language, or native speakers, you should introduce the concept of counting syllables as early as possible. Read off several words of varying lengths, and ask your students to identify the number of syllables they hear. They should be comfortable with counting syllables well before they begin syllabication themselves. Ask young students or people who are having trouble understanding syllables to hold his own chin...

TL;DR in English: Explain vowel sounds to students. Build a student's vocabulary during syllabication instruction. Get students used to counting syllables early on. Have your student touch his chin while speaking. Use drumming and clapping to emphasize syllabication rules. Have your students memorize only the most useful syllabication rules. Give students the Syllable Sort exercise. Ask students to divide proper names into syllables. Make a syllabication game using index cards. Reinforce syllabication knowledge using quizzes and tests.

A tailored button-up shirt pairs well with a black pencil skirt, a-line, or midi skirt for a simple office look. Choose a plain colored shirt or a simple pattern, like polka dots or stripes. Tuck the shirt into your skirt so it looks polished. Consider wearing a belt over the waist of your skirt to pull the look together. For instance, you might wear a wide belt with a button-up shirt and a-line skirt. Both short-sleeved and long-sleeved blouses look great with a pencil skirt. Choose a solid color blouse if you're going for a polished look, or wear a fun print if your office culture encourages creative expression.  For example, you might wear a red silk blouse with your pencil skirt if you're going for a conservative look. As another option, you might wear a floral print or polka dot blouse for a professional look that's fun. Pick a basic black blazer for a polished all-black look. As another option, choose a blazer in a bold color to get noticed. Wear your blazer over a camisole, silk blouse, or button-up shirt.  For example, you might wear a black blazer over a white button-up shirt and a pencil skirt for a style that's both feminine and masculine. As another option, pair a pale blue blazer with a white camisole and black a-line skirt for a fresh look. You don't necessarily need to wear tights with a work look. However, you might decide to wear them if you don't like exposing your legs at work or your workplace culture is a bit conservative. Choose black or solid-color tights to complement a work outfit. During spring and summer, stick to sheer black or colored tights. During the fall and winter, pick opaque tights for more warmth. Ballet flats, pumps, kitten heels, and ankle boots are all great for a work look. If your outfit features neutral colors, you might add a pop of color or a print with a fun shoe. However, stick to a neutral shoe if your top is a fun color or print. Additionally, pick shoes that are comfortable enough for you to wear them all day. For instance, bright pink or leopard print shoes...

Before you can access your router's page, you'll need to have an Internet connection, both to show you the proper address and to allow you to connect to the router. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click the gear-shaped icon in the lower-left side of the Start window. Doing so opens the Settings window. It's a globe-shaped option in the middle of the Settings window. It's a link near the bottom of the window. You may have to scroll down to view this link. You'll find the "Wi-Fi" heading to the right of one of the "Name:" headings on this page. This option is near the bottom of the "Wi-Fi" section. The number to the right of the "Default gateway" heading is your router's address. This number will be in the form of an IP address, and will start with 192.168. In your preferred web browser, enter the default gateway number into the address bar and press ↵ Enter. For example, if the default gateway number is "192.168.1.1", you would type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. Skip this step if not prompted for a username or password. If you've already set up the security settings for your router (i.e., when you initially installed the router), enter the username and password you chose then. If not, common default login credentials include the following:   Linksys routers — Type admin for both the username and the password.  Netgear routers — Type admin for the username and password for the password. Check your router's manual to confirm the default password and username. If you've forgotten your login information, you may have to reset the router. Your router username and password may also be located on a sticker on the router. Once your router's page is open, you can proceed with forwarding a port.

If you need to block users on your network from accessing specific websites, you'll have much more success with OpenDNS than by blocking them on your router. This is because most home routers do not block https:// websites, and more and more websites are adopting encryption every day. OpenDNS can filter these encrypted sites for everyone on your network. You can sign up for free at opendns.com/home-internet-security/. You'll be setting your router to use OpenDNS's DNS servers, which will process your blocked sites. To do this, open the router's configuration page in your computer's web browser. Common router addresses include:  Linksys - http://192.168.1.1 D-Link/Netgear - http://192.168.0.1 Belkin - http://192.168.2.1 ASUS - http://192.168.50.1/ AT&T U-verse - http://192.168.1.254 Comcast - http://10.0.0.1 You'll be prompted to log in when you first open your router's configuration page. If you didn't change the login information, the username is usually "admin" and the password is usually "admin" or blank. You may find this in the "Basic Setup" section of the router. For many routers, you'll need to disable automatic DNS before you are able to enter in your own DNS servers. You'll see two DNS server fields. Enter each of the following DNS addresses, which point to the OpenDNS servers:  208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Click the Save or Apply button and allow your router to reboot with the new DNS settings. This may take a minute or two. Visit opendns.com and log in with your new account. You'll be taken to the OpenDNS dashboard. You can see your home IP address at the very top of the dashboard page. Type this address into the "Add a network" field. This will allow OpenDNS to tell when traffic is coming from your network, and block sites accordingly. You'll need to confirm your network via an email message that is sent to the account you signed up for OpenDNS with. This will allow you to set what content is blocked on your network. You can choose between Low, Medium, and High security. This is great if there is...

TL;DR in English: Sign up for the free version of OpenDNS Home. Open your router's configuration page. Log in with your router's administrator account. Find the "WAN" or "Internet" section. Disable automatic DNS. Enter the OpenDNS server addresses. Save the changes for your router. Log into the OpenDNS dashboard. Click the "Settings" tab and enter your home network IP. Open the "Web Content Filtering" section of the Settings tab. Choose from one of the preset filtering levels (optional). Add specific websites you want to block to the "Manage individual domains" list. Flush your DNS cache. Test your settings.

Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your damp hair. Since hair is more fragile when it’s wet, brushing your hair with the bristles of a brush increases the chances of breaking your hair. If you do brush your hair, brush your hair when it’s dry, and use a boar bristled brush. Boar bristled brushes do a good job of bringing hair oils from the top of your head downward, effectively moisturizing dry ends. The temperature from styling tools can cause heat damage to your hair. Try styling your hair in other ways that don’t require you to use a blow dryer, flat iron, or curler. Consider styling your hair in braids, buns, or twists so you can give your hair a break from the heat. If you must use hot tools to tame your hair, consider lowering the heat settings. Some hot tool heat settings go all the way up to 450°, which is significantly high considering water only has to reach 210° to boil. Any kind of chemical hair treatment (including dye jobs, highlighting, lowlighting, perms, relaxers, etc.) causes damage to your hair. This chemical damage can, in turn, cause your hair to become fragile and dry. If you can, avoid chemical treatments altogether, especially if your hair has had more than one treatment at a time.  Giving your hair a break from the chemicals will allow your natural hair to grow out which should be healthier and more hydrated. If you must dye your hair, consider using a dye with either low amounts of ammonia, or no ammonia at all.

Exposure is how you build a following, which helps you become more of a cartoonist. Cartoon competitions are out there, but they’re tricky to find. Some publications, such as the New York Times, offer these competitions, which help cement your reputation. Other times, governments or organizations run contests for political or artistic causes. Search online for these contests and keep your ears open to suggestions from your audience and friends. Some cartoonists, such as Andre Pijet, got their start from competitions at festivals. You may be able to find regional or national festivals, but pay attention to international festivals too. Many satirists get their start by sending their work to publications such as Mad Magazine, The New Yorker, or The Onion. Competition is tough, so also look for alternative magazines, newspapers, or online publications. Every publication has its own criteria for humor, so research them to see if your work would be a good fit.  Find submission details in the publications or on their websites. Usually you can submit the art online or through the mail. Expect a lot of competition. It’s easier than ever for people to make and submit funny drawings. Working freelance means you don’t have a permanent job with any company. You’ll need to work hard to turn out drawings...

Remember when you were a little kid, and you'd hop up as soon as your eyes opened in the morning? Back then you were carefree and happy to get up and begin all the fun activities the day held in store. It's harder to get out of bed when you aren't looking forward to going to work or school, but if you focus on the good things that will happen that day, you'll be able to wake yourself up faster. So, always look forward for a bright day. Try it tomorrow: as soon as you wake up, think about the best thing about the day, and let your heart race a bit in anticipation.  This is easy to do on your birthday and fun holidays, but you'll have to get creative to wake up with a smile on rainy gray Mondays. Even if you don't have a big event to anticipate, think about the little things that make you happy on a daily basis: walking your dog. Drinking that first cup of coffee. An alternative to coffee is chocolate, (flavonoids) especially 70% cocoa and darker, but if eaten too late in the day sleep deprivation may occur. Talking on the phone with your best friend after a hard day's work. Getting your favorite takeout on the way home. Whatever it is, think about it first thing when you wake up. Does your room get natural light in the morning? If not, you're missing out on nature's most effective wake-up call. When the sun streams through your windows in the morning, your brain naturally knows it's time to start moving. But if you have blackout curtains and don't get decent light in the AM, you're going to feel groggy until you go outside.  If you have thick curtains to block out lights from the street, try getting shades in neutral colors that effectively block most artificial light, but still let your room brighten up when the sun rises. You may also try waking up early and actually watching the sun rise. This gives you some time alone in the morning before the pressures of the day start. Watch the sun rise from your window, or take a walk outside early to clear your head. Going 8 hours without drinking water (while you're...

Use the oil after a manicure. Put it on whenever you have free time. Apply the oil before bedtime.

When you have finished picking up all of the stitches for the heel, count your total number of stitches and divide them evenly among 3 needles. You may have to have 1 less or more on one of the needles to do this. For example, if you have 84 stitches, then you can place 28 stitches onto each needle. But if you end up with 85 stitches, then 1 needle will need to have 29 stitches on it and the other 2 will have 28 stitches. When your stitches are divided evenly among the 3 needles, begin knitting in the round. This will start to form the foot section of the stocking. Knit several rounds until the foot section of your stocking is about 4 inches (10 cm) or longer. After the foot section measure about 4 inches (10 cm) from the heel, you can start to decrease the total number stitches in each round. Knit the rounds as usual, but knit 2 stitches together when you reach the last 3 stitches in the round. Then, knit 1 and repeat the round. Continue decreasing in this way until you have a total of 28 stitches. the remaining stitches. When you have 28 stitches left, bind them off. To bind off, knit the first 2 stitches in the round, then slip the first new stitch over the second new stitch. As you do this, let the first stitch to slip off the then of the needle. Then, knit 1 and slip the first stitch over the second stitch again.  Repeat this until you have worked all of the stitches off of your needles. Make sure to leave a long tail (12 inches (30 cm) or longer) so that you can use the tail yarn to weave the toe opening closed. Thread the tail yarn through the eye of the yarn needle. Then, begin sewing the opening closed. Match up the bound off stitches and sew through 2 at a time to close up the opening. When you get to the end, insert the needle into the inside of the stocking’s toe and then-then turn the stocking inside out to secure it from the inside and hide the knot.

Like it or not, the way you look is a big part of a first impression. Choose clothes that flatter you without making you look overdressed. You don’t want to be slumming it in sweats when you meet your in laws. At the same time, you wouldn’t want to wear a cocktail dress or tuxedo when everyone else is in sundresses or polos!  Make sure that your clothes are clean, presentable, and not too revealing or potentially offensive. For casual or semi-casual occasions, you could try wearing a nice button-down shirt or polo with khakis, or a dress that makes you look great while still being comfy and not flashy. In cooler weather, a nice sweater can do the trick. Jeans can be ok, too, as long as they're clean and free of tears. If your in laws have invited you over, it’s often considered polite to bring food, a drink, or a small gift with you. Ask your partner what they think is appropriate, and give it to your in laws yourself when you arrive.  Things like a bottle of chocolates, or some flowers can do wonders. Make sure to ask your partner about their in laws’ expectations first. In some cultures, it’s considered offensive to bring something when invited over. Ask your partner if their parents enjoy drinking alcohol before bringing wine or another alcoholic drink as a gift. If they don't drink or if they are opposed to drinking, alcohol will not make a good gift. Work with your partner and do a little research. Find out what your in laws are interested in, and make sure to ask them about that. You can also ask them about their hobbies, home, or family history. Showing you care about them will go a long way!  If you have any common interests, bring those up to form bonds: “Mr. Smith, Sam tells me you’re interested in scuba diving. Me too!” Even little comments and questions like “Who’s in this photo?” will show your interest. Try giving comments like “You have a beautiful home!” or “I love that sweater--where did you get it?” Compliments like these are another way of showing your in laws that you’re interested in...

TL;DR in English: Dress well. Bring them a small gift if you're going to their house. Start conversations that show you’re interested. Compliment them and their stuff. Have a one-on-one chat. Be especially polite if you are in public. Try the food even if you don’t think you’ll like it. Let them know how nice it was to meet them.

Cuticle oil is a great way to rehydrate your cuticles after a manicure. The oil will not harm or remove the nail polish. Additionally, cuticle oil is a great way to revamp an old manicure. Just massage the oil over your cuticles and nails to give them a fresh shine. Do not use it before a manicure. The oil will prevent the nail polish from adhering to your nail. If you do decide to use it before a manicure, then make sure to wipe your nails clean with nail polish remover or alcohol. Apply the oil whenever you are riding the bus or sitting in a taxicab, at your work desk, or on the couch while watching TV, for example. Basically, whenever you have some downtime. Apply cuticle oil twice a day, or more if you need to. This is a great way to ensure that your cuticles stay hydrated and nourished for the coming day. Just remember to be persistent and consistent to keep your cuticles looking healthy.
