every night to stay alert and relaxed. Inadequate sleep can lead to fatigue, which can sabotage your productivity. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.  Teens should aim to get 8 – 10 hours of sleep a night.  To help yourself establish a healthy sleep routine, set an alarm to remind yourself to go to sleep at the same time every night. If you find that you are still fatigued after getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night, you may want to consider consulting a doctor, as daytime fatigue may be a symptom of sleep apnea or another underlying health condition. throughout the day to provide your brain with fuel. If your body is hungry when you work, your productivity will suffer. Healthy snacks like almonds and chia seeds have fatty acids that will keep your mind alert and focused. Fruits and vegetables are also healthy options. Avoid snacking on carbohydrates or junk food. These foods can drain you of energy. If you feel most focused and energized in the morning, work on your most important or difficult task then. And, if you’re a night owl, use your mornings to work on simple and unimportant tasks. Trying to complete important or difficult tasks when you feel fatigued will reduce your overall productivity. Everybody works best at different times of the day, so experiment with your schedule to find out when you work most efficiently. The physical posture you assume can have a psychosomatic and neurological effect on you. Imitating a confident smile and posture, for example, can spur your brain to feel confident, which can lead to gains in productivity. Forcing yourself to smile, for example, can lead to the release of endorphins, which will help you feel less stressed about a project. If you’re the type of person who is always saying yes to your coworkers, friends, and family members, you may find yourself in the position of having trouble finishing important tasks because you’re always doing things for other people.  Saying no can be difficult, but committing yourself to turning down at...

Estrogen is metabolized and filtered by the liver, but high levels of alcohol can decrease liver function. When liver function decreases, estrogen levels can increase.[citation needed]  If you have borderline high estrogen levels, limit your alcohol consumption to one glass per day or less. If you are already experiencing estrogen dominance, however, cut alcohol out of your diet completely. Alcohol contains estrogen-like substances (phytoestrogens) derived from the plants that are used to make the alcohol.  Such substances have been found to act as estrogens in mice and humans. Roughly 80 percent of estrogens acquired through diet come from cow's milk and dairy products made with cow's milk.[citation needed] Opt for non-dairy milk products, like almond milk or rice milk, instead.  Cows are often milked during pregnancy, when their estrogen levels are highest, which is why cow's milk can contain such high doses of estrogen. When you do consume dairy, choose helpful dairy sources. Yogurt can be especially beneficial since it contains probiotics. Caffeine, fat, and sugar can all increase estrogen levels in the body, so you should limit these foods as much as possible. For instance, even one cup of regular coffee can increase estrogen levels.[citation needed] Drinking up to four cups a day can raise your estrogen levels by as much as 70 percent.[citation needed] Soy contains plant compounds called "isoflavones" that mimic estrogen, so if you have high estrogen levels in your body, consuming unfermented soy can aggravate the estrogen's effects. Unfermented soy products include tofu and soy milk. Red meat can contain hormone additives, and these additives can boost estrogen levels in your body or behave like estrogen in the body.[citation needed] When you do eat meat, look for meat labeled as “organic” or “natural.” Consuming this meat will still cause you to consume the estrogen left over from the animal's natural stores, but you will not consume any abnormally excessive amounts of estrogen this way.

TL;DR in English: Consume less alcohol. Limit your dairy intake. Cut down on junk food. Avoid unfermented soy products. Consume less red meat.

When you walk away from a bully, you show that that person doesn’t have control over your actions or emotions. Engaging the person means you are meeting him or her on  the same level. You don’t need to engage this person, and there’s no use putting any of your energy into the situation. Remember that you choose your response. Is it worth engaging with this person? It may be better to just walk away and not even bother. If someone is harassing you or egging you on,  calmly tell this person that you are not interested in engaging with him or her. Remember the person can only bully you if you give him or her power over your emotions. Once you no longer seem to care what this person thinks, he or she may become bored or disinterested.  If the person persists, ignore the person. Say, “I don’t want to talk to you” or “This doesn’t interest me.” Remember that you have control over how (or if) you react. If it isn’t worth your time, say so. Ask yourself, “Will I remember this situation in 1 year? What about 5 years? Will this affect my life then?” If not, determine to spend your energy and time elsewhere. Also ask yourself if these are people that will continue to be in your life for a long time. If you have plans to go to college or move, it’s likely these people will be gone from your life soon enough. If someone is being mean to you, respond with a joke or with some humor. Humor completely disarms someone trying to hurt you, and he or she may be too surprised to know how to respond. When you use humor, it shows that this person has no control over you.  If a mean person targets you and you respond with a joke, it’s likely he or she will lose interest in trying to hurt you. If someone is making fun of your shoe size, say, “You’re probably right. I tried out for the Lord of the Rings but I guess my feet weren’t hairy enough.”

A good site to begin with is eBay. It's user-friendly, and you don't have to have a lot of know-how to figure it out. Plus, the listing prices aren't too expensive, and it has a wide range of items. Other sites you can try include Amazon, Etsy (for vintage items), and even sites like Craigslist or Facebook (for larger items, especially). Amazon has more restrictions on listings than eBay. For instance, it restricts some selling categories. Some sites, such as eBay, have several options for listing items. You can list it as an auction item, where customers bid on it, or you can list it exclusively as a "Buy It Now" item. You can also do a combo of the two, where you start the item out at an auction price, but you have a "Buy It Now" option that's higher.  If you do an auction, make sure that you don't sell yourself short. If you start the bidding out too low, you could sell the item for much less than you'd like. A good rule of thumb is to start the item off at least at cost. A combination of the two works well, because customers can just grab the item if they really want it. Nonetheless, if you set the "Buy It Now" too low, you may be missing out on some profit. When you list the item, try to get a good overall shot. However, you also need to get the item from other angles, so that the customer can see it from all sides. Try to highlight any damage so you're not deceiving the customer. You should aim for at least five photos per item. Adding something for size perspective, such as a ruler, can also be helpful, especially for small items. In this case, "catchy" often means using popular keywords for your item, as well as details for your item. Don't get into a lengthy description. The keywords will help you find a good place in the listings, help you attract more customers. For instance, "Vintage Unicorn Jeans, Size 12, from 1972" can work better than "Beautiful Vintage Jeans. Must See!" Take a short paragraph to thoroughly describe the item. Make sure to include things like the brand and color. Also, don't...

TL;DR in English: Find a site. Decide how you want to list it. Have photos from every angle. Create a catchy title. Describe the item accurately. Include your policies in your listing. Don't forget to include shipping and supplies.

Because acrylic is easily scratched, you don’t want to just wipe away any dirt or dust that is on the surface of the window. Instead, use air or water to remove dirt before you begin to clean. You can use canned air to blow dirt off of the windows, or drip water onto the surface that picks up the dirt and allows you to float it off. If you use water, blot the window dry with a microfiber cloth after the dirt has come up. If your acrylic window still needs a bit of cleaning after you've removed the top layer of dust and dirt, use clear water to clean it. Simply repeat the process of dropping water onto the surface of the acrylic and blot it dry with a microfiber cloth. Don’t rub the window with the microfiber cloth as this can cause scratches in the acrylic. If you’re washing particularly dirty or outside-facing windows, mix equal parts non-abrasive cleaner and water to make a cleaning solution. Then dip a microfiber cloth in the solution and gently blot the acrylic surface clean. Good non-abrasive cleaners for this type of cleaning are castile soap, baby shampoo, or Woolite or Dreft. Once you’re done cleaning the acrylic window, use a dry microfiber cloth to blot the surface of the window dry. Avoid wiping the cloth across the surface of the window as this can cause scratches. If, once you’ve cleaned the window, you discover scratches in the surface, you can use car wax to remove them. Apply wax to the areas that are scratched and use the buffer that comes with the wax to buff the surface. If you’ve never buffed a surface before, proceed for gently with this step. If you have very deep scratches in the acrylic, you scrape the surface of the acrylic. Hold a sharp scarping tool at a 10 degree angle and move it from side to side, evenly and gently scraping off the excess. This technique should only be used for very, very deep scratches. Sanding the surface of acrylic gives it a matte finish, which gives it a frosted look. You can perform this technique with sand paper by hand, or with sanding tools. Simply sand...

Remove excess stain that may have overlapped onto the tiles by filling a spray bottle with water. Thoroughly spray the area and wipe down with a clean sponge. Use a nylon scrub pad to clean any stubborn dried stain from your tiles.

TL;DR in English: Wipe the tiles. Remove extra dried stain.
###
If your friend starts falling back into their old behavior, say something about it. Do this each time it happens. Let them know how the behavior makes you feel, and remind them that they agreed not to work on it.  Let your friend know when they act selfish, such as constantly seeking attention by spamming you with text messages. If your friend made a promise to fix their behavior, then remind them of that promise. It's possible they forgot, and just need a gentle reminder. Many people behave in selfish ways because other people let it happen. If a person asks for excessive favors or talks about herself without stopping, stop the behavior right away. Don’t allow the person to walk all over you.  For example, if they always talk about themselves whenever you hang out, you could decline the invitation. You could also accept it, but steer the conversation your way. For example, if your friend is always looking for sympathy, stop giving it to them. Instead, offer solutions or help them see the positive side of the situation. If a selfish person treats you poorly, it’s not because you’re not worth being treated well. Selfish people ignore their friends or neglect their obligations because they only think of themselves, and this has nothing to do you or your value as a person. Don’t let your friend’s behavior get to you or make you feel bad about yourself. Spend some time thinking about whether the person has been truly committed to changing. Often, you will see immediate changes because the person is embarrassed and had never realized that she was selfish. Other times, changes will be slower, but you’ll see your friend taking small steps to change. Try to stay patient.  Talk to your friend every few days. See if they're doing better in their personal lives, or whether they're holding up their promise to be less selfish. Hanging out with your friend is a great way to tell if their behavior is changing. Spend time together as you normally would, and see if your friendship feels different or improved. Talk to mutual...

Invite friends, family, or neighbors to your party. Send, or email, Hawaiian-themed invitations. You could decorate the invitations with palm trees, hula girls, or surfers. You could also choose invitations with beach themes, flowers, or ocean scenes. It won't be much of a stretch to ask your guests to wear their swimsuits, sundresses, or shorts. Hawaiian-style (flower printed or "island" themed) shirts, board shorts, or skirts are easy to find during the summer. Ask your guests to wear sandals, or provide them with inexpensive flip-flops decorated with fake flowers. If you are planning to make real flower leis, you can make them the night before the party. If not, paper leis are great as well. Place one over the head of each guest as they arrive to get them in the spirit of the party.

TL;DR in English: Send themed invites. Ask your guests to dress for the theme. Give your guests a lei as they arrive.

if their inhaler isn’t working or they can’t breathe. If the person loses consciousness, is struggling to breathe, or if their lips or nails are turning blue, call for help right away. You should also call an ambulance if the person doesn’t have their inhaler, if their inhaler doesn’t help alleviate their symptoms after ten puffs, or if the inhaler helps initially but their symptoms worsen afterwards. Use a cell phone or ask someone else to call the ambulance so you can stay by the victim. If you have access to a car, drive them to the hospital.  Keep them calm while you wait for the paramedics to arrive. Encourage them to sit up straight, breathe slowly and continue to use their inhaler if it helps. If the person has mild symptoms and can speak and move around, you can try to alleviate their symptoms without calling for help. If the symptoms aren’t severe enough to need immediate medical attention, take a moment to recognize the symptoms and communicate with the person to confirm that they’re having an asthma attack. If you know that the person has asthma and you see that they’re having trouble breathing, they’re probably having an asthma attack. If you don’t know for sure that they have asthma, watch for signs and symptoms of an attack, such as:  Difficulty speaking Difficulty breathing Wheezing Coughing Distress or panic Blue tinge to their lips or beneath their fingernails The person having the asthma attack may feel frightened or start to panic. It’s important that you remain calm. Take slow, deep breaths. Use positive language, like, “It’s going to be okay,” or, “I’m here with you.” When you tell the person what to do, speak in a calm, firm voice – “I need you to sit upright and point to where your medicine is.” Avoid saying anything that may make the person more afraid, like, “I don’t know what to do!” If you stay calm, you’ll help the victim feel calmer. If you encounter a stranger having an asthma attack, don't assume that they want your help. Approach them calmly, quickly introduce yourself, and...

Choose a high-efficiency laundry detergent. Select a cold water laundry detergent when using cold water. Use the water temperature to decide on powdered or liquid detergent. Purchase an environmentally friendly detergent.

Painting all of the edges in the room, also known as “cutting in,” should be done before painting the walls entirely. Use an angled paint brush to carefully paint the corners and edges. When cutting in, paint a strip along the edge that is 2 inches (5.1 cm) to 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. To reach the top corners of your tall wall, use strong tape to attach your brush to the extension pole. The pole should be long enough that you can paint without having to use a ladder. If there's edging that needs to be done using a tall ladder, have someone hold the ladder while you're at the top for safety. Paint edgers can be used with an extension pole or by themselves, and they're great for painting clean, straight lines without using tape. Simply slide the edger along the wall's edge, and it should apply paint in a clean line without getting paint on the opposing wall. You can buy an edger at your local hardware store or online, and they usually cost less than $10. How long it takes the paint to dry will depend on the type of paint you're using. In most scenarios, your paint should be mostly dry after 1 hour, and the walls should be ready for a second coat after 4 hours. After the edges you painted are all dry, it's time to add a second coat. Try to paint nice, even coats so that you won't have to go back up the ladder to do touch ups later on.

TL;DR in English: Cut in the edges of the walls, doors, windows, or trim. Attach the paint brush to the end of an extension pole to reach tall spots. Use an edger attached to an extension pole for clean lines. Wait 4 hours for the edges to dry. Apply the second coat of edging.

High-efficiency washing machines use less water than traditional washing machines, and specialized high-efficiency laundry detergents must be used when washing clothes in such a machine.  However, most high-efficiency detergents can also be used in traditional washing machines, too. Cold water laundry detergents are specially designed for use in cold water.  If you are washing new clothes that are colored, you’ll need to wash them in cold water to prevent color bleeding.  Cold water detergents generally work best in water between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 24 degrees Celsius).  Adjust your washing machine’s water temperature to the appropriate temperature range, if possible. Washing your brand new clothes (or even your older clothes) in cold water can save energy, which means you save money. Powdered detergents are best in cold water.  Liquid detergents mix better with warm or hot water. You might have to hunt a bit to find powdered detergents.  They are becoming increasingly rare. Traditional detergents often contain chemicals that could be discharged into local waterways, affecting aquatic life and, potentially, the communities that use those waterways.  Fortunately, there are many environmentally friendly detergents that use nontoxic alternatives or, at the very least, fewer chemicals.  Choose one of these to reduce your negative environmental impact. You can often identify an environmentally friendly detergent by its name.  Look for detergents with names preceded by the prefix “eco” or “bio.”

Go to the airport. Hire a private car or FX. Pay the driver.

Attention-seeking behaviors can sometimes be a result of trauma, neglect, or other stressful situations. It can also be a sign of low self-esteem or feelings of inadequacy. If this is someone you care about, try to find a time to chat to see if there is something that is causing this behavior.  You might start this conversation by saying, “Hey, I want to check in. Has everything been going all right lately?” If the other person doesn’t want to talk, they don’t have to. You can simply tell them something like, “If you ever do want to talk, just let me know.” Your loved one might be worried that no one will care for them if they don’t constantly seek out their attention and approval. Let the person know that you will love them, even when you’re not directly paying them attention.  You might send them a random text that says, “Hey, I was just thinking about you. Hope you’re having a great day!” or “I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you do.” You can even tell them something like, “Even if we’re apart, you’re still important to me.” It is important to approach them yourself so that they don’t have a chance to try to grab your attention. This will help reassure them that they don’t need to resort to drama or conflict to get positive attention. Extreme behavior might manifest as threatening to hurt or kill themselves, locking themselves in rooms, or breaking down over minor events. These are usually signs of underlying mental health issues. The good news is, your loved one can get support and treatment from a mental health professional.  You might tell your loved one, "I've noticed that you seemed really upset lately. I love you, and I want to make sure you get the help you need." These behaviors may be a call for help. Try not to dismiss these threats as just attention seeking. They may very well be legitimate. Personality disorders, like Histrionic Personality Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder, may cause people to engage in extreme attention-seeking behaviors.

TL;DR in English: Determine if there is an underlying cause to their behavior. Boost their self-esteem when they are not actively seeking your attention. Suggest that they get professional help if you think they will hurt themselves.

You can hire a car from many places in Manila that will take you to Tagaytay. The private cars that can take you to Tagaytay often gather near the airport, though, so it is easiest from there. Taxis from the airport have regulated rates that make them more expensive than other options. A private car or an FX (a taxi-like van), hired just outside of the airport, will be a more economical option. You should be able to hire an FX for about $35 in US dollars. Don't be afraid to haggle over the price. For $35 you should at least be able to get to Tagaytay, and maybe hire a driver for the whole day. It is not uncommon for drivers to ask you to pay for fuel. This should come to no more than 1,000 Pesos.

Cover your shoes to protect your clothes. Place socks in your shoes to help them keep their form. Wrap delicate shoes in a scarf or a t-shirt.

Consider the styles below:  Casual: Casual style basically consists of simple jeans, t-shirts and sweaters. This is the safest and most common style among high school boys. Sporty: As the name suggests, this style is most favoured by members of school sports teams. The sporty style includes track pants, sneakers, sports team tops and varsity jackets.  Preppy: The prep style is conservatively classy. This style involves lots of polo shirts, khakis and button-down shirts.  Skater: The skater style is fun and functional. If you choose this style you'll be wearing lots of flat sneakers, skinny jeans, hats and accessories.  Goth: The goth style is dark and brooding. The goth style has lots of black clothing, combat boots and trench coats.  Emo: The emo style is philosophical and sensitive. You'll be wearing lots of skinny jeans, long bangs and band t-shirts. Be careful with this style, because if you don't do the style right then you might be labelled goth instead of emo.  Hipster: The hipster style is vintage and anti-establishment. Expect to be wearing lots of skinny jeans, plaid shirts, big glasses and scarves as well as clothing that isn't "mainstream".  Classy:The classy style is formal and out-standing. Lots of suits, nice pants, some scarves, good-looking shoes, belt, and maybe good watches (preferably a minimalist watch) that will show your esteem and how you aren't afraid of being different then the casual clothes, gangster type clothes, or "fashionable" clothes. This is important because some stores cater only to one of the above style groups. If you are worried about not being able to find what you're looking for, then try a mall since they have tons of stores in them. You might think that neon yellow vest with purple stripes looks terrific on you, but they will probably have another opinion. However, if you still really like something after they give you the thumbs-down, buy it anyway as long as it isn't super expensive and you think that you will like it until you outgrow it.

You can use a plastic grocery bag, a resealable gallon bag, or a shower cap to cover your shoes. Or, place your shoes inside the drawstring dust bag that they came in when you bought them. This way, you can protect your clothes from dirt and smells.  If you do not have a bag, use tissue paper or saran wrap instead. Place bulky shoes, like sneakers and boots, in different bags, so you can pack them separately in your suitcase. Shoes can become squished into overly stuffed suitcases, warping their shape. Place rolled socks in your shoes, platforms, and stilettos. If your shoes get squished, the socks will help them retain their shape. Keep your formal shoes clean and safe from damage and dirt by wrapping them in something soft. Place your shoes inside a bag. Then wrap pajamas, a sweatshirt, or a scarf around your shoes to protect them.

People who pretend to know everything are not as well liked as people who are willing to ask for help. Asking questions gives other people the opportunity to help you and that makes them feel good. If you are unsure of something or just want to know what someone else thinks, ask questions to give them a chance to share their knowledge. Try to get people to talk about themselves. Research has shown that when people talk about themselves, they feel the same pleasure as when they eat or receive money. . Active listening is a great way to get people to love you. The better you are at listening to people when they are talking, the more they will want to spend time talking with you. Practice active listening by nodding, using neutral phrases, and rephrasing what the speaker has just said.  Demonstrate that you are listening by nodding your head and using neutral phrases, such as, "Uh-huh,” “I see,” and “Yes.” Demonstrate comprehension by rephrasing what the other person just said. For example, if a friend says, “I have been so busy this week,” you can say, “So you haven’t had any time for yourself lately.” . Using humor is a great way to get people to love you too. If you know a good joke, share it with other people. If you are witty, make witty remarks. Just make sure that the humor you use is appropriate for the situation or you may end up offending someone. Look for little ways to make your companions laugh and they will love spending time with you. People who are willing to ask for help when they need it are often interpreted as more likeable than people who pretend like they know how to do everything. Show that you are open to other people’s advice and suggestions by asking for help when you need it. Allowing people opportunities to share their expertise with you will make them feel good and love being around you because of how useful you make them feel. . You can also use positive gossip in your favor to get people to love you. Instead of talking about what you don’t like about people, talk about what you do...

Decide which color you want your dog’s hair to turn out and purchase some Kool Aid powder packets in the same shade. There are a variety of colors to choose from, but the best options are purple (grape), blue (berry blue), red (cherry or tropical punch), green (kiwi lime), yellow (lemon lime), or orange (orange).  Make sure you get the sugar-free kind of Kool Aid. This works better for dyeing. Remember that the dye will fade over time. Choose a color that you will still like as it fades. For example, red fades to pink after a few weeks. Purchase a bottle of conditioner designed specifically for dogs. This should be available for purchase at most grocery stores and pet stores. Make sure you get the kind that is specially formulated for canines because this will work better for the dyeing. Conditioning your dog’s hair will also help your dog’s coat be less tangled and easier to comb out. Since dyeing your dog’s hair can get a bit messy, you’ll want to choose your location wisely. You don’t want to unintentionally dye a bunch of your surroundings by accident. So choose a location outside, or in your garage, or in another location you don’t mind getting a bit wet and possibly multi-colored. You could even do it in your bathroom if you take the proper precautions ahead of time. Put down some old towels you don’t mind getting dirt or dye on. Take some canine conditioner and mix in the Kool Aid powder in your chosen color. The mixture should make a creamy paste that spreads easily.  You should use the same amount of conditioner you would normally use on your dog, which will vary depending on the size of your dog. Use on or two packets of Kool Aid powder depending on how big your dog is and how vibrant you want the color to be. If you have a large dog and you want a very vibrant color, use two packets. If you have a small dog, use one packet. You can use one color for your dog’s whole body, or you can use several colors in different areas. Make a conditioner/Kool Aid mixture for each color you want to use. You could...

You want to use hair tools that are gentle on your hair and scalp. Paddle brushes help your hair lie flat, giving the appearance of longer length, while round brushes create the look of shorter strands. Boar bristle brushes in particular work great to spread natural oils through your hair, which promote hair health.  In addition, use elastic hair ties without any metal. The metal pieces on hair ties can snag your ends and cause damages. Metal combs often result in broken ends, so instead use plastic combs instead. When using styling products like leave-in conditioners, mousses, gels, serums, and hair sprays, always select products with natural ingredients over products with chemical or artificial formulas. Chemical products will strip your hair of its natural oils and cause excessive dryness, while natural products will replenish and hydrate your hair. Look for products rich in coconut oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, and almond oil. In addition, styling products with essential oils like peppermint, tea tree, and eucalyptus are great for thickening hair. In addition to natural ingredients, you can purchase shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that are advertised as “volumizing,” “thickening,” or “lengthening.” These are formulated with ingredients that help open up the hair cuticle. You can also use specialty products that offer hair growth. For best results, use a quarter-size amount when you wash or style your hair. if you want some volume as your hair grows. To get the appearance of thicker hair, squirt a quarter-sized amount of dry shampoo into your hands, and rub your hands together. Then, run your hands through your hair at the roots. This temporarily increases the width of your hair strands. Also, dry shampoo helps your roots stand up, giving the appearance of thicker hair. Exposing your hair to high temperatures cause damages, dryness, and split ends. To keep your hair as healthy as possible, try not to use tools like flat irons or curling irons.

Floors that get a lot of use, such as a kitchen floor, will need to be swept every 1-2 days to be kept clean. Keep in mind that darker colored flooring will take a bit longer to start looking dirty than lighter flooring. Lower traffic areas will need to be swept around twice a week. Pick the corner that is the longest distance from the exit, and plan how to work your way around any furniture to reach the exit. Start by sweeping that corner, and then move outwards, finishing the room by the doorway. Divide the room up into 4 sections, and sweep each using short and deliberate strokes. Keep the pile of swept dirt in each section, creating a new dirt pile in each section. Don’t move the dirt pile around, as this will make the floor dirtier. Sweep up the dirt pile from each section once you have finished sweeping the room. If the dustpan leaves behind a small line of dirt, use a damp paper towel to wipe it up. A clean broom is key to making sure that it will actually clean the floor, rather than add more dirt to it. The bristles should all be facing in one direction. If the broom bristles are askew, invest in a new one. Fill up a sink with hot, soapy water and give it a scrub. Make sure that you use a sink strainer so that the dirt doesn’t block up the drain.

Medicine is not a cure-all for your panic attacks. Instead, one of the most common treatments is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), administered with the help of a mental health professional like a psychologist. CBT challenges your fear. It teaches you to replace your false, unfounded fears with more rational beliefs and to develop an inner voice to cope while the fight or flight response runs its course. When feeling panicked, your response with CBT should be reassuring: “I'm in no danger.” Talk to a professional. See what sort of treatment options are available for you. There are in fact a number of different approaches that can be taken separately or at the same time. Mindfulness is an acceptance strategy and form of CBT, addressing aspects of your emotional experience that can't be directly changed. As someone who suffers from panic attacks, you likely have feelings of anxiety, fear, doubt, and urges to escape. With mindfulness you will learn that there is no “off switch” for these feelings and that the attempt to control them will only increase your distress. Mindfulness teaches you strategies to live with the sensations, to soften and accept them while letting them run their course. Exposure therapy reverses our normal response to fears. Our natural reaction is to avoid anxiety-inducing situations. But while avoidance gives immediate relief, it is actually counter-productive and can ultimately worsen your fears or create mental paralysis. Exposure therapy will systematically confront you with your fears or whatever might be inducing your panic.  Most therapists do this slowly, in a graded fashion, so that high-level exposure is not attempted until you successfully face lower-levels. With each step, then, you will build up more emotional “muscle.”  The confrontation can be real (“in-vivo”) or simulated, where you are guided through an imaginary scenario. Once your brain learns that these feelings are not dangerous, it will stop triggering your panic. Exposure therapy has been found to be effective in...

When you and your partner are ready to start trying to get pregnant, stop using condoms, and talk to her about stopping her hormonal birth control if she's on any. If she has an implanted contraceptive device, like an IUD or an implant in her arm, your partner will need to visit her doctor to have it removed. If your partner is on hormonal birth control, it could take up to 6 months for her hormone levels to regulate. your partner's ovulation each month. The best way to get a woman pregnant is to have sex with her around the time that she ovulates, or when she releases an egg. This typically occurs in between her menstrual cycles. You can use a calendar to keep up with the days, or you can use a fertility tracking app to help you both remember. You can also track fertility by measuring your partner's basal temperature once a day, or she can monitor her cervical mucus. Once you establish when your partner ovulates, try to have sex at least once a day during that week. Since your sperm can live for up to 5 days after ejaculation, having sex frequently during this time will help ensure there's viable sperm available when the egg arrives. Even when she's not ovulating, try to have sex about 2-3 times a week. Not only will each individual session increase the odds that you'll conceive, having a lot of sex can actually boost your sperm count. Lubricants may affect your sperm's movement, so try not to use them if you don't have to. If you do need lubricants to help with comfortable sex, ask your doctor about an option that won't affect your sperm.  Popular lubricants like Astroglide and K-Y jelly may have an affect on how sperm function. Baby oil and canola oil are lubricating options that may work without affecting your sperm. Your general physician may order a semen analysis, which will check both your sperm count and the health of your sperm. If there are any problems, your doctor may refer you to a male fertility specialist. Your partner should arrange an appointment with her doctor at the same time to rule out...

Unless you're already a vegetarian family, this is probably not the time to ask everyone to go veggie but at least raise it as an option. Discuss ways to eat green, including using non-disposable plates, bowls, utensils, and napkins. . Meat-free meals could be made more frequent within the meal roster. Less meat consumption is healthy for everyone, and the environmental costs of producing milk, eggs, and meat includes increased land usage, high-protein grain for animal feed, and the production of methane. Check out websites on the slow food movement or sites that are dedicated to locovore eating habits (eating locally produced food). If anyone in the family has reservations about eating vegetarian meals, borrow some books on achieving optimal health as vegetarian or vegan, to reassure yourselves that you are going to be getting all needed nutrients. Borrow some books and DVDs from the library on this topic. A few suggestions are Michael Pollan's “The Omnivore's Dilemma,” “Food Rules,” and “In Defense of Food,” or Morgan Spurlock's DVD “Super Size Me.”

. Correctly identifying the ants roaming around your kitchen is an extremely important first step in rectifying your ant problem. That is because there are many different ant species that all have different habits and behaviors which can affect the treatment needed to get rid of them.  Look at the ants in your kitchen and note their characteristics. Some characteristics to look for are their size and color. Ants in your kitchen are most likely either pharaoh ants or pavement ants, but it is possible they are a different species.  Once you know some identifying characteristics about the ants, do some online research to correctly determine the species of ants in your kitchen, and some of the best methods recommended for eliminating that species. Follow the ants that are already in your house for a few minutes, and try and find the spots where they are entering your home. Look inside the house around windows, doorways, and cracks in the floor, but also outside the house around doorways, windows, siding, and accent lights. If any ants are coming in and out through these points, focus on these areas in your cleaning efforts to ensure the ants don’t enter through these points. Once you have identified a trail and entry points from which the ants are entering your house, try and notice the trail that the ants follow out of your house. You will see that they all follow the same trail. That is because when they enter your home, they leave a scented trail behind them for the rest of the colony to follow. It won’t always be easy to find an ant nest, but if you do identify its location, you can spray the ant hill with a poison spray, or attack the ant problem at the source by baiting the ants in your house to take poison back to the nest, and kill the colony.

Be watchful for any problems with your baby's eyes. Take note of when the baby first starts picking things up. Keep track of when your baby

See an acupuncturist. Get a good massage. Go to yoga or pilates classes.

There are three different ways of calculating your premature baby's age, all of which must be taken into account when tracking your baby's growth and development.  The term gestational age refers to the baby's age as calculated from the mother’s first day of her last menstruation cycle. This number is very important for identifying your infant's development and growth levels before birth. Your baby's chronological age refers to the age that is calculated from the point that the infant is born. This term describes the age for all the newborns, and it represents your own age. The last term is called the corrected age which refers to the correct age of your infant as if they continued their natural uterine journey. It’s calculated by subtracting the number of weeks your baby was premature from their chronological age. For example,  if your infant was born four weeks early, and their age now is twelve weeks, this means that their corrected age equals eight weeks (Chronological age “12” – Early weeks time “4” = Corrected age “8”). It's important to understand that while a premature baby's development may be slow in terms of their chronological age, it might be right on track in terms of their corrected age. Therefore, it's important to keep the corrected age in mind when watching out for issues with growth and development. Premature babies tend to gain weight more slowly than full-term babies, but this is usually not a cause for concern. A record is kept with the doctor and chart is plotted on a graph to check whether the baby's weight gain is on track.  Full-term babies usually gain weight at a rate of 30 ounces per day. However, the rate of weight gain will be slightly different for a premature baby. Premature baby’s tend to gain weight at a slightly slower rate than full-term. Hence keeping weight records helps you and your doctor to understand and track their progress. Premature babies are prone to infections, as their immune system is not yet fully developed. Hence these kids tend to have low immunity and are...

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves long sterilized needles that are inserted into key points of your body. Acupuncture is effective at treating many forms of pain, though studies have not clearly shown what its most effective uses are. It is as safe as other forms of medicine, as long as the needles are sterilized and the acupuncturist is experienced.  Find an acupuncturist who is licensed by the state. Try acupuncture in combination with visiting a chiropractor and attending physical therapy. Back pain caused by muscle tension or overuse can be relieved by massage. Let your masseuse know where you hurt, and speak up if they do anything that feels painful or wrong. The body compensates for pain by using other muscles that are not usually used. These muscles become sore and tight, and massage can relieve some of this tension. Taking classes with an experienced yoga or pilates teacher can be an excellent way to strengthen and relax your back muscles. Some kinds of yoga will be better for your back than others. Ask your doctor or physical therapist for recommendations. When you stretch, stop if something hurts or feels off. You may need to skip or adjust some stretches to accommodate your injury.

The first step is to decide who you wish to target for your product or service. Certainly, it would be great if the entire world wanted what you have, but that is not realistic. For example, if you manufacture car parts, then your target market is going to be those people who own or work on cars. But if you are a musician specializing in children's music, then your target market will be parents of small children, or perhaps the children themselves. Identifying your target market will help you later decide how to advertise and maximize the value of your marketing resources. Many sources are available online from a variety of reliable, government sources. In the United States, some of the most applicable sources for conducting your market research may be:  U.S. Census Bureau, www.census.gov www.business.gov, contains links to state and national data about businesses Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov U.S. Department of Commerce, www.commerce.gov By identifying your target market, you will be able to focus your marketing resources and increase your overall profits.

Pull the car onto level, solid ground. Loosen the lug nuts with a lug wrench (tire iron) or impact wrench. Jack up the car. Remove the wheel. Submerge the tire in water. Watch for air bubbles.

Start by removing the laces from the holes at the top of your shoe—closest to your leg—and work your way down to the tip. After you remove your laces, stuff them into a sock—this allows you to clean them separately in the same load as your sneakers. Tie the end of the sock tightly with a lace or elastic band. If your shoes have laces that feed through plastic loops that hold them in place, don't bother removing them. Place all of your shoes into a pillowcase—whichever size accommodates your load—and twist the end tightly to hold it closed. Afterward, fasten the twisted end with a rubber band wrapped around it 2 times or more, depending on the size of the rubber band and the thickness of the twisted end.  Fold the twisted end in half before wrapping the rubber band around it to make it snugger. Usually, you can fit 2 to 3 pairs of shoes in a pillowcase. Put as many in as you want, but try not to stuff it too tight. Remember that not all shoe materials can be washed in a washing machine. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Put the pillowcase with your shoes and sock with your laces into the washer. Afterward, stuff the remaining space around the bags with rags to prevent the bags from hitting the walls. Finally, dump in 1 full cup of your favorite laundry detergent. If you have a top washer with a center turbine, wrap its edges with a towel. " Turn the load size dial to slightly before the "Medium" and hit the "Cold" button. Now, put the spin mode to "Delicate" on the "Normal" setting. Double-check your settings and then turn the washer on and wait! Always use the "Delicate" or—for older washers—"Knits Gentle" setting for your mesh shoes. This minimizes agitation of the fabric and prevents it from stretching. Indoor areas like a hayloft or shed or outdoor locations that provide enough shade are ideal. Never store your shoes in a basement, and avoid garages, as they often don't provide enough airflow.  If you have an electric household fan, place it in front of your shoes to decrease drying time...

You do not want the car to roll or sink once you have it jacked up. It is important to remember to loosen, or break, the lug nuts before you jack up the vehicle.  This way the weight of the vehicle is still on the wheels and it prevents them from spinning dangerously while you turn the lugs. Once the lugs have been loosened, it will be necessary to jack the car up so that the wheels can be removed.  As mentioned above, this should be done on level concrete or some other hard, level surface.  Some important things to remember when jacking up the care are:  Your service manual will recommend jacking points The most common way to elevate the car is a floor jack, or trolley jack. If you are unsure how to use one visit Lift a Car Using a Trolley Jack. You should use jack stands to stabilize the car.  A good tutorial on jack stands can be found at Use Jack Stands. If you have access to a hydraulic lift it will save you time. At this point, the lugs may be loose enough to remove by hand.  If not, finish removing the lugs with the lug wrench or impact wrench.  Once the lugs are removed, pull the wheel off of the wheelbase. If you are uncomfortable removing a wheel, read about how to Remove Lug Nuts and Tires. You can use a small kiddie pool, bathtub, or any other container large enough to hold the tire. You should add water until the tire is completely submerged and then allow the water to settle. Once the water has settled you might notice air bubbles escaping from the tire. If so, you have found your leak.

Jewelers are trained to recognize real and fake precious gems and stones. They can examine the stone under a magnifier to make sure it has the structure of a true jade and to check for signs of a fake. They will evaluate the properties of the stone and then tell you if it’s real or fake.  Typically, the jeweler will do these tests while you’re there. You may want to talk to more than 1 jeweler to get multiple opinions about the authenticity of the stone. Your jeweler can measure the density of the stone you suspect is jade using a spring scale and water displacement test. Then, they’ll compare the density to a jade density chart to see if it meets the standards of real jade. If it does, then your stone is likely real. However, it’s likely not real if the density of your stone is not consistent with jade. If you have concerns about the density test, ask your jeweler how they typically perform the test before they get started. They may even let you watch them do it. One of the benefits of seeing a jeweler is getting your stone valued. The jeweler can evaluate both the jade and its setting, if the stone is already part of a piece of jewelry. Ask them how much you can expect to sell the jade for, as well as if they think the value could increase over time.  Keep in mind that this valuation is still an estimate. It’s best to talk to multiple jewelers when you’re trying to estimate the value of a piece, but this can help you understand what your stone is worth.

Iron is important to your body. It helps make red blood cells. Those blood cells move oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. If you're cutting meat (a good source of iron), you'll need to add other foods with iron to your diet.  Some good sources of iron are broccoli, legumes (lentils, chickpeas, and baked beans), fortified cereals, enriched pasta, soybeans, tofu, dried fruit, and pumpkin seeds. Greens are also iron-rich, such as kale. If you eat these foods with foods high in vitamin C, your body will take in the iron more easily. Foods high in vitamin C include things like oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes, broccoli, and strawberries. For instance, a good mixture to increase your iron would be a broccoli and chickpea salad with a squeeze of lemon juice. Some people may still need an iron supplement, especially girls who are having their periods. You may have heard calcium is good for strong bones. That's important when you're growing. You also may have heard that dairy is a great source of calcium. Many vegetarians still eat dairy, and if you are going to, that's one place you can get the calcium you need.  You can also get calcium by eating your greens (like kale). Figs are also a good source. Fortified soymilk, tofu, and fortified orange juice have calcium as well. A good meal for getting in some calcium might include sauteed kale tossed with some tofu or feta cheese, if you eat dairy. Vitamin D helps your body take in the calcium. That means your body can better use it for your bones. Most milk is fortified with this vitamin, and it is often included in fortified soy milk, too.  Interestingly, though, this is one area where you're like a plant. You can absorb vitamin D from being in the sun. You don't want to be out so long that you get burned, but just playing outside can be enough for you to get your vitamin D.  If you go outdoors to get your vitamin D, only stay in the sun for about 10 minutes. When spending more time in the sun, you need a sunscreen. Talk to your doctor to see if...

After high school, apply for internships through paleontology organizations, universities, and museums. You can learn about internship opportunities through your university and through local natural history museums. Many paleontology organizations offer internships in paleontology, as well as nonprofit-oriented work.  Keep up on searching for internships all year, because companies and organizations often post opportunities online. You can do a simple online search for internships in the field of your interest to start finding opportunities.  For example, the Bighorn Basin Paleontological Institute offers internships in fossil preparation, digitizing collections, education, grant writing, marketing and promotion, web development, and nonprofit management. It could be helpful to speak to a paleontologist at a local museum to tell you how to start collecting fossils on your own. The Paleontological Society lists mentorship programs that are hosted by the Geological Society of America. These programs offer travel scholarships and grants, as well as a luncheon for undergrads and grads to meet faculty mentors.

Learn the signs your snake is about to shed. Create a moist shedding box. Mist the cage with lukewarm water. Manage the cage's humidity.

Column-shaped cacti often have less sections than other types, so it can be crucial to decide only what is needed to be cut. The columns store water and collect sunlight for the whole plant, so removing too much can be dangerous for the plant. Pruning the columns will be similar to sawing a tree branch off. You will want to make preliminary cuts a few inches above the base of the column, which is where the final cut is going to be made.  The first cut should be about ¼ of the way into the column, on the top or inner side, a few inches above the base. A second cut (similar in size) approximately 1 inch below the first, but on the bottom/outer side, will then help to control the weighted fall of the column when you make the final cut. Before making your final cut, make sure the area is clear where the cut portion will fall. From a safe place, starting at the top, inner side at the base where the cactus column has begun growing, saw through completely. You may continue repeating these types of cuts as needed to remove all unhealthy or overgrown areas. Keep in mind not to overdo it though so the plant does not suffer from over-pruning.

TL;DR in English: Decide which sections will need to be cut. Saw the necessary portions. Work through the unhealthy or overgrown sections.

You want to start preparing for the shedding process before it even begins. To do so, you'll have to keep an eye on your snake and watch for the signs that it is about to shed. When you start noticing signs, begin to prepare.  Watch your snake's eyes. They will have a dull, blueish white appearance just before the snake begins to shed. You should also take note of the snake's current skin. The skin will begin to dull just before shedding. Snakes need a lot of humidity to shed properly. One way you can increase the humidity in your snake's environment is with a shedding box. Take a box, like a shoebox, and make sure it is well ventilated by poking holes throughout. Place damp paper towels within the box, allowing the snake a damp place to shed. You can also try misting the cage lightly to increase humidity. Take a spray bottle and fill it with lukewarm water. You can also mist your snake with water just before shedding, if your snake will allow this. Monitor the humidity in your snake's environment. You can get a device at a pet store, or a department store, that measures humidity in your snake's cage. During the shedding process, snakes need a cage that is between 50 and 70% humidity. If the humidity in your snake's cage is below this level, there are several steps you can take to improve humidity.  Add a large water dish to the cage. Cover the top of the cage. If you have a screen top on the cage, you can safely cover half the top to increase humidity. Try using orchid bark substrate, which refers to the bedding that lines the bottom of the cage. Orchid bark tends to hold more humidity than other products.

If you have a small to moderate population and know all of the key values, you should use the standard formula. The standard formula for sample size is:  Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N]   N = population size  z = z-score  e = margin of error  p = standard of deviation Replace the variable placeholders with the numerical values that actually apply to your specific survey.   Example: Determine the ideal survey size for a population size of 425 people. Use a 99% confidence level, a 50% standard of deviation, and a 5% margin of error. For 99% confidence, you would have a z-score of 2.58. This means that:   N = 425  z = 2.58  e = 0.05  p = 0.5 Solve the equation using the newly inserted numerical values. The solution represents your necessary sample size.  Example: Sample Size = [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 / 1 + [z2 * p(1-p)] / e2 * N] = [2.582 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.052 / 1 + [2.582 * 0.5(1-0.5)] / 0.052 * 425]  = [6.6564 * 0.25] / 0.0025 / 1 + [6.6564 * 0.25] / 1.0625]  = 665 / 2.5663 = 259.39(final answer)

Whisk together the flax seed and water. Pile the chickpea flour onto the counter. Combine the flour and flax seed mixture. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.

Use equal parts plain white vinegar and lukewarm water to create a mixture for cleaning your shag carpet. The white vinegar has many cleaning properties, but needs to be diluted a bit with water in order to be used safely and effectively in your home. For small stains, you could start with 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of white vinegar and 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of lukewarm water. Dip a clean microfiber cloth into the vinegar cleaning solution and start working the cleaner into the shag carpet. Rub the stain quite vigorously (though avoid breaking or damaging the long shag carpet fibers) until the stain dissipates to your satisfaction. You may need to use quite a bit of elbow grease to fully eliminate the stain. Once you have finished scrubbing, you’ll need to let the shag carpet dry completely before you begin to use it like normal again. This can take up to 48 hours, or even longer depending on the size of the carpet and the thickness of the fibers. You can think about setting up box fans to blow on the shag carpet to help it dry more quickly if you are running short on time.

TL;DR in English: Mix the cleaning solution. Use a microfiber cloth to clean the stain. Let the shag carpet dry.

Combine the flax seed and water in a small bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes. The mixture should thicken, turning into a gel consistency. Create a small indentation or well in the center top of the mound. This dough is a little more fragile than the basic dough, so it is recommended that you mix it by hand instead of using a stand mixer. Spoon the flax seed gel into the flour mound. Gently bring the walls of the flour well in, combining the flour with the flax seed gel evenly. Only mix the dough as long as necessary for it to come together. Wrap the dough in wax paper or plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature.  This dough can stay out longer than 30 minutes, but the gel may begin to break down if you leave it out for more than a few hours. Do not refrigerate the dough.

You might experience short-term tinnitus that goes away. However, tinnitus that persists can be really annoying and may make it hard to live your life. Fortunately, your doctor may help you create a treatment plan to help you find relief. Visit your doctor if you have the following symptoms:  Ringing Buzzing Clicking Hissing Roaring Humming You might experience tinnitus after a cold, the flu, bronchitis, or another respiratory infection. When this happens, your tinnitus should resolve quickly. However, you need to see your doctor if it persists. Let them know that your symptoms were triggered by a respiratory infection. See your regular doctor first. However, they may refer you to a specialist such as an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (ENT specialist or otolaryngologist). Tinnitus can cause complications, which might interfere with your life. If this happens to you, your doctor may be able to help you find a treatment that gives you relief. Talk to your doctor if you experience any of the following complications: Fatigue Stress Insomnia Trouble concentrating Memory issues Depression Anxiety Irritability The doctor will likely physically examine your ears with an otoscope (a lighted instrument for inspecting ears). You may also undergo a hearing test and potentially some imaging tests such as an MRI or a CT scan. In some cases, more extensive tests may be necessary.  In general, these tests are not invasive or painful but may cause some discomfort. Common causes of tinnitus include Meniere’s Disease, Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, head and neck injuries, benign tumors, and hypothyroidism. In some cases, tinnitus can be caused by aging or age-related conditions, like menopause. Loud noises can contribute to tinnitus, so it’s important that your doctor knows if you have this risk factor. Discuss your current and past exposure to loud noises and ask if it may be to blame.  For instance, working around loud construction equipment or attending concerts may trigger tinnitus. Your doctor may recommend you...

Commonly, people who report symptoms of depression lack pleasure or lack of interest in activities and/or loss of meaning.  The act of creating music allows you to take risks and experience yourself in a different way, while being supported in a therapeutic setting. Especially if you have a difficult time expressing yourself otherwise, you can experience moving emotions through playing music. Allow the music you create to have meaning to you. You can create a song specifically around the sadness you feel from losing a beloved pet, the struggle you experience after a career change, the longing of leaving something of value to you. Let those emotions and experiences guide your music as you play. When engaged in music, you allow yourself to relate differently. Instead of using words, you use emotion, tone, rhythm, and collaboration. Interacting and engaging through music allows you to express yourself when words may be difficult to find, but the emotion is not.  Working with a music therapist can help you connect more deeply with your emotions and work through them in a supportive environment. Notice how you feel when you play music. Do you feel present, focused on the moment, the music, and the feeling? These can be healing factors to depression. Music can be described as sound, which can be further reduced to vibration. Vibration therapy (called vibroacoustic therapy) uses low level vibrations that can be heard and felt  and applies them to the body. Vibroacoustic therapy works with the body in a way that allows the emotions and body to work more harmoniously together by stimulating different parts of the body through vibration. While still gaining momentum as a treatment option for depression, some studies have concluded positive responses to vibroacoustic therapy as a treatment approach to depression.  Vibroacoustic therapy also helps with chronic pain(such as fibromyalgia)  by lowering pain, increasing movement, and reducing medication dosage.  If you’re working with a music therapist, ask to play with...

Most power supplies used in modern computers are of the "ATX" variety, but if you aren't sure, take the old unit to the store with you to compare. The simplest rule of thumb is that the new unit should be exactly the same width as the old one. It's fine if the new unit is a bit longer, as long as it will still fit into your case. Do not hesitate to ask the salesperson or technician for help in identifying the correct unit to purchase. If the new unit has a large bottom mounted fan, the bottom rear bottom flange on some cases might get in the way. Add it to the case in the same place the old unit was, and use the mounting screws to fasten it down. The connections should be the same as they were before. It can require a bit of force to insert power connectors correctly, but if if you have to strain a great deal to push them in, you may be trying to connect them backward. It is very difficult to connect most Molex connectors improperly, but if you are determined (and strong) enough, it can be done. If you have to force too hard, try turning the connector around. If the CPU fan is stopped by a loose connector (or any other obstruction), the processor can be destroyed very quickly. You may wish to restrain unused cables to prevent them from getting tangled up in fans.  Power up the system and enjoy your new power supply. If your system doesn't start up correctly here, your failing power supply could have taken out the motherboard.

States have different rules related to life estates and there are complicated implications, such as potential Medicaid ineligibility, which may significantly impact you. If you are considering entering into a life estate, speak with an attorney so that you understand all of the risks as well as benefits. You can locate attorneys in a number of ways, including:  Referral from friend or family member. If someone you know used a trust and estates or elder law attorney, you can ask them whether they would recommend that attorney. A recommendation from a trusted person who has personal experience with an attorney is a good place to start. Local or state legal bar associations. Local and state bar associations often provide referral services to attorneys in your area. Through state bar associations, you can check whether any complaints were filed against your prospective attorney. The American Bar Association has compiled a list of state-by-state resources that can direct you to attorney referral sites, such as contact information for state bar associations. The ABA provides this information at http://apps.americanbar.org/legalservices/findlegalhelp/home.cfm Each state may have different requirements for a life estate to be valid. You should review your state’s law by locating your state’s legal codes and searching for the phrase “life estate.” You can find links to state codes here: http://www.findlaw.com/11stategov/indexcode.html. Generally, life estate deeds will require the following:  The date the deed was made; The name of the party granting the life estate and their address; The name of the grantee and their address; The address and a legal description of the property that is subject to the life estate; A statement expressly reserving the life estate; For example, the statement could read “EXPRESSLY RESERVING Life Estate in the above described property unto the Grantor and its assigns.

Avoid trans fats. Limit saturated fats. Minimize your sodium intake. Limit your consumption of red meat. Limit alcohol consumption Avoid sweetened beverages.

Although peripheral neuropathy typically begins in the lower limbs, specifically the feet, it also eventually effects the smaller peripheral nerves that innervate the fingers, hands and arms. As such, be vigilant about checking your hands for the above-mentioned potential symptoms and complications of diabetes.  Similar to the stocking-like distribution of diabetic foot symptoms, complications in the upper limbs progress in a glove-like pattern (from the hands and then up the arms). Diabetic-related symptoms in the hands can mimic or be misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome or Raynaud’s disease (arteries that narrow more than normal when exposed to cold temperatures). It's much easier to check and be aware of your hands on a regular basis compared to your feet because your feet are often encased in socks and shoes. The autonomic system includes the nerves that automatically control your heart rate, bladder, lungs, stomach, intestines, genitals, and eyes. Diabetes (hyperglycemia) can affect these nerves and cause a variety of complications, such as: increased heart rate, hypotension, urinary retention or incontinence, constipation, bloating, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, erectile dysfunction and vaginal dryness.  Uncontrolled sweating (or complete lack of sweating) in the feet or other parts of the body is a sign of autonomic neuropathy. Widespread autonomic neuropathy eventually causes organ dysfunction, such as heart disease and kidney failure. Both peripheral and autonomic neuropathies affect the eyes, as does the destruction of small blood vessels due to glucose toxicity. In addition to the concern of infection and potential foot/leg amputation, going blind is often the biggest fear of diabetics. Eye complications related to diabetes include difficulty adapting to low-light conditions, blurry vision, watery eyes and gradual reduced visual acuity leading to blindness.   Diabetic retinopathy affects blood vessels in the eye's retina and is the most common cause of vision loss among diabetics. In...

There are a variety of foods in the typical American or Western diet that should be limited or avoided due to their link to heart disease.  Trans fats in particular are one of the worst foods for your heart.  The majority of trans fats are very processed and are a man-made fat.  Very few trans fats occur naturally.  They're typically labeled as "hydrogenated oil" or "partially hydrogenated oils" on the food label. These fats are considered the worst by health professionals.  They raise your LDL (or bad cholesterol) and decrease your HDL (good cholesterol).  The most common sources of trans fat are:  fried foods, fast foods, baked goods and pastries, creamer and margarine, pre-made cookie dough or biscuit dough, and snack foods like chips, crackers or buttery popcorn. There is no safe limit for trans fats.  You want to avoid them as much as possible. Saturated fat is another type of fat that health professionals typically want limited in your diet.  Although not considered as unhealthy as trans fats, it's still important to limit your total saturated fat intake.  Unlike trans fats, saturated fats occur naturally.  They typically occur in animal products like full-fat dairy products, fatty red meat, skin on poultry and fatty cuts of pork.  Saturated fat has been shown to increase your LDL levels (the bad cholesterol); however, it does not affect your HDL levels.  Some studies have also shown that high quantities of saturated fat may increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.  Health professionals recommend limiting your total saturated fat intake to less than 10% of your total calories.  If you're eating 2,000 calories daily, you shouldn't consume more than 22 g of saturated fat daily. In addition to limiting saturated fats and cutting out trans fats, it's also important to moderate your total sodium intake.  Although sodium doesn't have a direct effect on your heart, other conditions it causes do.  A high sodium diet can lead to high blood pressure and stroke.  High blood pressure can severely damage your heart...

Sing an upbeat and energetic song that acts as an emotional catharsis. Engage in meditation that includes thoughts of love and compassion. Do something that makes you laugh out loud. Modify the tone of your voice when you talk with people.

These signs are a dead giveaway that you have a termite infestation. Termites are similar in appearance to winged ants. Unlike ants however, termites shed their wings after swarming.  Termites will leave worm-like mud tunnels that are visible on the surface of walls within your house. These tunnels are used to protect worker termites.  To determine if it’s an ant or a termite, look at its antennae. If they are bent, this is a sign you have flying ants. If they are straight then they are termites.  Note that subterranean termites don’t leave droppings behind, as they use them to construct tunnels. Drywood termites build their homes in dry wood, much like their name suggests, while subterranean termites live in the ground. Look for sawdust-like material around any holes or cracks around your home.  The sawdust-like matter is known as frass, which is a form of termite excrement.  Probe the small holes with a pin or other thin object to see if you can locate an exit hole for the termites. Subterranean termites may try to make their home beneath yours. Check the inside and outside of your foundation, crawl space, and support piers for termites or damage. Termites are capable of breaking down cellulose in wood which creates a digestible food source for them. Sometimes this can include entire walls.  Solid walls should make a thud noise and sound like there is something behind it. If your walls make a hollow or echoey sound when you knock on them, there’s a good chance your walls are hollow and you have termites.

TL;DR in English: Look for dead termites, termite wings, or termite droppings. Examine wood in your house for small holes or sawdust-like matter. Inspect your foundation and crawl space. Knock on non-hollow walls to see if they’ve been hollowed by the termites.

Singing is a great way to release pent-up emotions and help you feel more relaxed, positively affecting your entire parasympathetic nervous system. Singing loudly also exercises your vocal cords and throat muscles, which in turn stimulate the vagus nerve.  Singing also leads your body to release oxytocin, which produces feelings of joy and well-being. If you’re unable to sing loudly, humming softly and even gargling water can also work your throat muscles and thus stimulate your vagus nerve. According to one study, generating positive emotions in yourself through loving-kindness meditation and enhancing your sense of social connection can lead to heightened activity in the vagus nerve. Note that your meditation needs to include compassionate thoughts of others in order to reap this benefit.  In other words, the act of meditation alone will not necessarily stimulate your vagus nerve; having thoughts of love and compassion for others is what’s most important. To practice loving-kindness meditation, start by sitting in a comfortable pose and focusing on your breathing to clear your mind. Then, begin to mentally repeat 1 or more mantras that reflect compassion for yourself and for others, such as “May I be happy” and “May my coworkers be healthy and strong.” Laughing is arguably the easiest and most enjoyable way to stimulate your vagus nerve. Watch a TV show, movie, or stand-up comic to receive a variety of health benefits just from laughing.  Some of the other health benefits accrued by laughing include increasing circulation to different parts of the body, lowering your blood pressure, and releasing chemicals in your body that are beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Try watching a funny show or movie with other people; people tend to laugh more easily when enjoying something funny with others! Speaking in a calm, even tone may help you to soothe yourself. When you hear a soothing voice, such as the voice of a loved one or trusted friend, your body releases oxytocin. On the other hand, not hearing soothing...

Calculate the length of your window. Determine your window's height. Measure the height of your floor to the top of your window frame. Mark your intended bracket locations. Make sure your measurements are level.

If you’ve chosen to use soil, fill the container to the top. Poke a hole through the center, all the way down to the bottom of the container. If you’ve chosen to use rockwool, you can simply insert the chunk of rockwool into the container. Pour enough water into the soil that it’s wet, but not drenched. If you’re using rockwool, it would already have been soaked overnight, so adding more water is not necessary. You’ll want to select a lateral stem to cut, not a terminal stem. Terminal stems are the main stems that come up from the ground, while lateral stems protrude from the sides of the terminal stems.  After you’ve made your cut, look at the stem and remove any leaves or flower buds from its base. When there are too many leaves or buds on a plant cutting, they suck most of the water from the base of the stem and may keep your plant from rooting. Root hormones can be in liquid or powder form. If you’re using a powder, dip the stem in some water and then apply the powder to the end, so it sticks. Do not coat the whole stem in root hormone. Focus on lightly coating the very bottom of the stem. Try to put about one-third of the stem into the hole.. A plastic bag can often work well for this if you have nothing else. When you cover the plant, it keeps the moisture and allows the plant to continue living while it attempts to produce roots.  What you use to cover the plant will depend upon the container you’ve chosen to house your clone.

TL;DR in English: Fill the pot or container with soil or rockwool. Water the soil. Make a diagonal cut on the stem of the plant using a sharp knife or scissors. Dip the stem in root hormone (if you've that decided root hormones are right for your plant). Put the stem of the plant into the hole in the soil or rockwool. Cover the container in plastic or glass.

Ideally, your rod should be several inches (or centimeters) wider than your window to give your curtain panels enough space. Before you've purchased a curtain rod, use a measuring tape and write down your window's length.  Longer curtain rods make the window look larger than it is. As a rule of thumb: choose a curtain rod 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) wider than your window. Placing your curtain rod directly above your window will make your window appear narrow and cramped. Check the height of your window, then mark a spot 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) above it. This will make your windows and ceiling appear spacious. Curtains that are too short to reach the floor look awkward. Your curtains should touch the floor or even pool slightly on the bottom. Write down your measurement, then add several inches/centimeters depending on how high you hang your rod. Avoid letting more than 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of curtain pool on the floor. Use your measurements to determine the right length or height of your brackets. Write with a pencil in case you need to adjust your markings. Hold your brackets up to the wall as you make the pencil marks to accurately determine where screws will go. In most cases, the right brackets and screws will come with your curtain rod. Crooked curtains can ruin the overall look of a room. Use a level and measuring tape to make sure your marked lines are straight. Continue adjusting the marks until your line is even.  If the bubble floats in between the two marked lines on your level, your area is straight. Straight edges combine levels with measuring tape and can make a useful alternative.
