Test a Light Switch
|
xxx
|
Take precautionary steps when you open up your laptop by removing static electricity from your body. Touch something metal before messing with your laptop, or buy a static wrist band and connect it to something metal if you feel so inclined and open your laptop regularly. Otherwise, static buildup from even just walking around might jump from your fingers to electronic components, damaging them in the process.

Identify Bed Bug Bites
|
xxx
|
Try to avoid getting mosquito bites if you know you'll be in an area where there are a lot of mosquitoes. To reduce your chances of getting mosquito bites, you can stay indoors at dawn, dusk, and in the early evening, wear long pants and long sleeves when you go outdoors, apply bug spray with DEET or picaridin to all exposed skin, get rid of standing water where mosquitoes breed, and use screens on windows and doors to keep the bugs out.
|
Use pitfalls sprinkled with baby powder under the 4 legs of the bed. It keeps you from getting bit and the powder smothers the bugs so they die. You could also use DE and that is very effective as well.
|
Do you have bed bugs? Take steps to get rid of them before the infestation gets worse! You can also treat your bed bug bites to make them less itchy.
|
If you're currently suffering from insect bites while you sleep, visit a dermatologist and entomologist to determine what type of insects are biting you. This will also help if your problem isn't related to insect bites. Sometimes an allergic reaction to the type of bedding that you use may result in hives that appear to be insect bites.

Raise a Healthy Bunny
|
xxx
|
Rabbits are sociable animals, and generally react well to having playmates. Usually these can be other rabbits, though with the right conditioning they can be comfortable with other sociable pets.
|
Kittens will play more than adults. It's normal for adult cats to not want to play, but give them a chance to play and don't ignore them.
|
Cockatiels love to listen to people and have human company. So if you can work or frequently visit the room where it is kept, it would love it.
|
Rabbits love to stay in a group and they will each help and protect each other.

Stop Your Older Brother from Annoying You
|
xxx
|
Don't use patience as a way to delay necessary action. If nothing is changing after you attempted to understand and relate to your brother, it's time to move on to the next step.
|
Don't rush the child. It's natural for them to take some time to figure it out. Patience will pay off.
|
These things take time and patience. Don't try to rush your friend, no matter how much you want to.
|
Understand that patience is a key factor here on your part. Don't rush them to make decisions or tell you things. Always be delicate in situations as serious as death.

Read a Torque Wrench
|
xxx
|
A novice should buy, at considerable expense, the manufacturer's shop manual for the specific model vehicle and engine which is to have the belt changed. These manuals are written for professional mechanics, assume some degree of mechanical expertise, are very detailed in that they state belt tensioner values, bolt torques, fastener locations, etc.
|
Check your local auto parts dealer for manuals specific to your car for complete instructions on how to perform basic maintenance on your vehicle. Often, you will save a bundle of cash doing simple tune-up work on your own. Schuck's and Autozone are great stores that have these manuals.
|
If you're tightening the bolts on your car's tires, you can refer to the owner's manual to see the torque that's required to tighten them. For other items, check product descriptions before you try to tighten a nut so that you know how much torque is required to tighten it.
|
Every car is a little different, so the exact socket removal process may differ slightly depending on your vehicle. Refer to your owner's manual for more specific instructions.

Find Out if Your Ex Still Likes You
|
xxx
|
If you come to the realization that the girl was indeed manipulating you, or simply wasn't interested, don't let it get you down. Keep in mind that despite how you currently feel, there will likely be another girl you find attractive soon enough, and perhaps better suited for you. The world is filled with girls, and the chances that you'll love only one is unlikely.
|
Just because you want a girl to feel good, don't do it at the expense of yourself. Girls still like guys who are comfortable in their own skin and who don't try too hard. Otherwise, it just looks desperate. Through small but thoughtful gestures, you can achieve your goal. Make it look effortless, though, as if it's just a natural extension of who you are. If she's the right girl for you, then that should be more than enough.
|
Be careful if you have children with your ex. Children sometimes hope their parents will get back together, and the last thing you want to do is get their hopes up and disappoint them. Make sure to be very discreet until you know you're back together for sure.
|
Be careful not to place all your hopes on a single girl; it will only make it more painful if things don't work out as you would like. Remember that there are plenty of fish in the sea. If things don't work out with a particular girl, simply move onto the next girl. That might make her sad she ever left you in the first place.

Get to London From Heathrow
|
xxx
|
If you're planning a holiday trip, keep in mind that most of New York City's tourist attractions are in Manhattan. If you aren't staying in the city, at least choose a hotel along a train line that can easily get you there.
|
Rents and land prices are generally high close to BART stations and fall heavily the farther you get from a BART station. Thus, there is a significant trade-off between the convenience of using mass transit and the cost of housing. For good trade-offs between rent and commuting time/cost, consider locations within 10-20 minutes walking distance of the Ashby, MacArthur, and Rockridge stations. The best trade-offs in this domain are also likely to be quieter places, which may or may not be to your taste.
|
The most convenient hotel districts to Heathrow are Earl's Court in Kensington and Gloucester Road in Paddington. Try to stay in these areas for the easiest commute to and from Heathrow.
|
If you are planning to visit Stonehenge from another country, you can fly to Heathrow Airport or Gatwick Airport in London. Other airports, such as Southampton and Bournemouth, are 1 hour away from Salisbury.

Eat a Pop Tart
|
xxx
|
You can add pureed fruit for delicious flavor changes. One small container of pureed fruit is sufficient for flavoring (the little containers that children take to school in their lunchboxes.) Try strawberry, apple, banana, apricot, peach etc. The cupcakes will not be as light and fluffy, however, so be prepared for a heavier cupcake if you add fruit but the added moisture content is a definite plus.
|
One of the best known flavors of curd is lemon, but other flavors are well known and include, orange, lime or raspberry. All make for yummy tea time treats.
|
There are lots of different flavors of pop tart. Some of them are seasonal while others are special edition.
|
Liquid hard candy flavorings are usually sold in specialty grocers' as small bottles of brightly-colored liquid. However, if you can't find them locally, they are also available for order at online retailers like Amazon, etc.

Pick Your Nose Inconspicuously
|
xxx
|
Some inner tubes come with a liquid inside that fills a puncture and automatically fixes the puncture. Sometimes this doesn't work. One thing you can do is remove the inner tube and fill it with enough air that the liquid comes out. If it does not then you can clean the puncture of debris then liquid may come out. If it does then simply put the inner tube back on and fill it up and ride on. If no liquid is noticeable then it may be time to get a new one or patch it the usual way. Keep in mind that patching a tube that contains sealant is difficult, and the patches may not stay put.
|
If the flicking maneuver cannot be performed, stay calm and don't panic. Simply roll the extracted material between your forefinger and thumb (the famous WRB "pick n' roll"). This will cause the substance to take on a spherical shape. When you relax your finger pressure the force of gravity will irresistibly pull the mass directly to the floor where it will join all the others of its kind along with the dead skin, dust and cat hairballs. The mucous cycle is now complete.
|
If you do happen to tear a tiny hole while folding your pouch, don't panic or throw out your oblate! Simply continue making the pouch carefully, dip it in water, and proceed to place it in your mouth and swallow it with more water just as you would an un-torn oblate. As long as the tear is small, the oblate will heal itself while gelling up, keeping the powder contents from entering your mouth when swallowing.
|
You can use saliva or a foamy soap to check if the air is leaking. Put saliva or the foamy soap on top of the valve. If bubbles form, the air is leaking. A tire specialist can help you solve this problem. If you don't mind the risk of damage, try to fix it yourself: take the needle and push it as deep as you can into the ball (through the valve). Shake it around vigorously, then take it out and test for leakage again.

Get Your Kids to Eat
|
xxx
|
Some children may be very picky with food, including autistic children and children with sensory processing disorder. They may avoid certain textures or tastes. It's important to note that they aren't being "picky" on purpose, and that certain foods are genuinely scary to them. Talk with your doctor about ways to feed your picky child.
|
Introduce only one new food at once. Children can become overwhelmed if they are presented with too many new foods.
|
Children usually respond well when information is presented via games. Keep games around the house and invent your own. They may create learning opportunities that you didn't even anticipate.
|
If you want your children to choose healthy foods, then teach them how to cook. Research from the School Food Trust found that children aged 4 to 8 who are exposed to simple cooking classes did a better job of both recognizing and eating healthy foods than their uncoached peers.

Hit the 3 Wood in Golf
|
xxx
|
Practice thoroughly. Start with slowly hit or rolled balls so you can better your footwork and develop rhythm and timing. Then, gradually increase the pace. At each practice, work on every type of hit you could receive, and always make sure to transfer and throw the ball so that it becomes second nature.
|
As with any throw, practice makes perfect. Start working on the movement required for a sinker slowly at first, before increasing the speed to get some better topspin on the ball.
|
Practice makes perfect! Don't expect to hit the perfect shot on your first attempt. Hit some practice shots to get a good feel for your swing.
|
Work on your timing to develop a sense of when to begin your swing. Your swing will have the most force if you wait until the ball is in deep, about even with your body.

Always use the freshest potatoes you can find. Avoid green potatoes or ones that have sprouts or soft spots.

Stop Bullying
|
xxx
|
If you see someone being bullied, step in and help. By telling the meanie they are not funny, you can help save someone from being bullied.
|
Bullying is different than just an insulting comment. If you feel you are actually being bullied or severely hurt, recognize it's a serious issue. Seek help with a boss, teacher, administrator or even police officer if appropriate, especially if you feel like you are in danger or degraded severely.
|
Offer to help your friend if they are being bullied. If you go to school with them and you see them being bullied, grab their hand and give them a big hug. Protect them. Tell them to come with you. Even if you are the only friend they have, always protect them, since nobody else will.
|
If you see someone being bullied, tell a teacher or another trusted adult. Make sure that that person is actually being bullied, and not just playing around with their friends.

Improve JPEG Image Quality

If you're working with a photograph, pay attention to the different colors present. A blue flower may have shades of blue, navy, green, purple, tan, etc. depending on the lighting, shadows, and reflections. Try your best to incorporate these colors as much as possible with a low-opacity brush tool. Consider switching to the rubber stamp tool if there is an overwhelming number of different colors in a small space.
|
Most types of acrylic paints dry a shade or two darker. Keep this in mind when picking your colors.
|
When choosing paint, keep in mind that black and other dark colors make a small room look smaller.
|
You don't have to avoid darker colors if your space is small! Just keep in mind that darker colors can make small areas seem even smaller.

Dress Properly for a Wedding (Men, Teen Boys and Kids)
|
xxx
|
If you are going to an Indian wedding then most of the above advice should be ignored. No matter what the season, it is always a case of Bride Side vs Groom Side so dress up! It is impossible to outshine the bride so don't worry. Although, of it is a poor/very rural wedding, then tone it down a little. Traditional outfits tend to be a little uncomfortable and keep in mind you will probably be wearing it for a long period of time.
|
The dress code is different for many events. What you wear to Friday's party will NOT be the same as what you wear to the opera. Please keep this is mind.
|
If you are still unsure about the appropriate rehearsal dinner attire after evaluating the venue, menu and wedding theme, assume the dress code is semi-formal or dressy casual.
|
If there is no dress code on the invitation then presume it is semi-formal wedding and dress that way. Of course if it's more casual you can leave the jacket in the car and even the tie if it's super casual.

|
Ask a friend or family member to help you call in. If they aren't interested in the prize, their assistance just might help you win it.

Be Popular
|
xxx
|
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. That might sound like something you would hear from your grandmother, but it is good advice. Even if people around you are denigrating someone, avoid being drawn into negative gossip. If pressed for an opinion just say something neutral like "Well, she's always been nice to me, so I don't know" or "Maybe he has personal issues that we don't know about. Who knows?"
|
If you really want people to notice something about you, or if you really want to talk about a problem you have, lead them on modestly. If you changed your appearance say something like "Notice anything different about me?" And don't get mad if they say no. If you want to talk about you, or a problem you have, just start the conversation(but do not interrupt another one) if you are modest, and a good person, they'll help you or talk about that new thing you bought or that thing you did over the weekend. But don't drone on and on. Make it a short conversation, and if it leads into another topic other than you, don't try to pull it back to you, or bring it up again and again.
|
Pay attention to every detail at what she's saying. Don't "zone out" when she's expressing her feelings, because she might ask your opinion on something or how you would react to such a situation. Not actively listening might make her feel like you don't care.
|
You don't have to accept back-handed compliments like "you're pretty for a black girl". It's rude and uncalled for. You are a beautiful person just like any other person. You don't see people going around saying "you're pretty for a white girl". Seems odd right? Chances are they'd be offended just as you are. Handle the situation tactfully. Just know you have a right to feel offended.

Be a Responsible Dog Owner
|
xxx
|
If you can't tell if your dog is biting out of aggression or playfulness, consult a professional dog trainer or behavior expert.
|
Dogs sense your fear, but also your determination for defense, except if the dog is really aggressive (rabid, a history of abuse or frustration, etc.).
|
Knowing your dog's fears and dislikes will help you prevent the fear from developing into aggression. Responsible owners proactively protect their dogs and prevent them from being placed in situations where the dog feels the need to protect itself.
|
A cat will clearly you let you know if he is in pain when being scruffed. He may thrash, hiss, and fight. On the contrary, he may also instinctively freeze, become silent or make few sounds, which helps animals avoid becoming prey in the wild. If your cat exhibits any of these behaviors, be aware that you may be hurting him.

Try to wipe your chainsaw down with a damp cloth every time you use it so there's less buildup to clean later on.

Don't worry about washing your EnviroCloth and Window Cloth every time you use them. Instead, wash them after a few cleaning cycles.

Spot Signs of Illness in Parrotlets
|

Individuals have different bodies and minds, and thus progress at different rates. Maybe your friend is good at capoeira after just ten weeks, but you need fourteen weeks or longer to get good at it. Don't compare yourself to others and try to absorb everything at your own pace.
|
The faster you act, the more successful the parrotlet's treatment may be.
|
Cats are independent creatures, so you might find that some will require persistence to train. The younger you start the training, the more responsive the cat will be to you and the more likely you will succeed.
|
Forcing your dog to act the way you anticipate through shock collars, prong collars, or other pessimistic tools will increase his fear of the root cause, because it is associated with the pain or confusion of you correcting him, even if it seems to be the quick fix.

Trap Cats
|
xxx
|
A broody hen isn't always a faulty hen, it's instincts are to reproduce and hatch eggs, which is normal for most animals.
|
If you ever decide on raising chicks, consider purchasing chicks rather than fertilised eggs. Chicks can be sexed so you know whether they are hens or roosters, while you might get more roosters than expected if you hatch eggs.
|
If your hen is broody and you know she doesn't have fertilized eggs, gently take her off the nesting box and collect the eggs.
|
If you trap a female that is producing milk for kittens, you should locate the kittens and determine whether they are old enough to wean (4 to 6 weeks). If not, you will need to catch and feed them a substitute for mother's milk.

Make Friends As an Introvert
|
xxx
|
It's okay to remain friends with some people in your friend group but not everyone. Don't feel pressured to stay friends with someone who isn't good for you.
|
You may not connect with a particular person, even after several conversations. That's okay, too. You're not going to be friends with everyone, go ahead and move on.
|
If it gets out of hand, tell someone wiser. Ignore the person. This may be difficult, but if you can live life without the person, then that's okay. If not, try to restart the friendship/relationship.
|
Don't worry if a friendship with a person doesn't stick. Not every person is meant to be your friend; instead, create friendships with those you click with instinctually.

You can apply a slow-release granular fertilizer over boxwood once a year in the spring. Wait until after the first year of growth, then use a balanced fertilizer as needed.
|
To fertilize air plants, mix a bromeliad fertilizer or liquid plant food into water and spray it on the plant in spring and summer. It isn't necessary unless your plant is having a hard time surviving or you're eager to get it to produce new buds.
|
If your plant is in a pot, water it with liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks between late winter and early spring.
|
Water your petunia plants daily in the very hot sun. Water and fertilizer will ensure they fill out after deadheading.

Train a PTSD Service Dog
|
xxx
|
You can teach your dog to do other helpful tasks, such as cuddling or playing, to help you with your recovery, even though they aren't “official” service dog tasks.
|
Other than treats and verbal praise, you can also reward your dog with extra play time. Every dog is different, so identify what type of reward works best for your dog and use it throughout the training process.
|
If you only have one dog, consider socializing your dog with other friendly dogs. Look into doggy day care or a well-maintained dog park as a way to give your dog opportunities to play with other dogs.
|
Dogs are social animals, and appreciate being useful around the house. If you give your dog a “chore” or to do around the house, they'll fell useful and will also enjoy the positive reinforcement after they've completed a task. You can train your dog to bring you the paper or fetch a pair of slippers.

Make Anime Movies
|

|
Getting a good movie requires preparation. You need to draft your script and characters before you can make them a significant part of your movie.
|
Have your actors look over the script and ask them to write down things they would like in the movie. Try to have them in a logical sequence and make sure they are not too outrageous for your movie.
|
There are no set rules on how to format montages in your script. Write what works best for you and the story you're telling.
|
There are no set rules to writing a screenplay. If you feel like your story should be told a different way, try them out.

Grow Bioluminescent Algae at Home
|
xxx
|
No single method can guarantee a significant reduction in midge populations, so it is best to use a combination of approaches. Midges have very short natural life-spans and several generations come and go within a single season. They reproduce very quickly and can be found almost anywhere that has a bit of water. Trying to wipe them out entirely could be very expensive and could cause damage to the environment.
|
Some seeds (e.g. Wild Indigo) may need scarification (scratching or cutting of the outside covering) in order to germinate. Seeds develop thick hulls to survive the chemical and mechanical processes associated with being eaten and digested, and have evolved to only germinate after this process has occurred. You can replicate scarification by grinding seeds between sandpaper blocks or screening material for about 15 seconds.
|
In the wild, wave action or disturbances in the water (mechanical stimulation) cause the algae to bioluminescence. The bioluminescence is believed to be a defense mechanism against predators, a "burglar alarm" that attracts other larger fish to eat the smaller fish that had attempted to feed on the plankton, or startles the predator.
|
Do not fish for muskies when water temperatures are above 80°F (26.7°C). Increased temperatures, as well as decreased dissolved oxygen levels at these temperatures, dramatically increase physiological stress and delayed mortality. Fish that are released in good faith and appear to swim away die at alarmingly high rates. When water temperatures are this high, it's a good time to target other species or take time for other fishing related tasks, like hook sharpening and boat maintenance.

Make Bannock
|
xxx
|
In regards to using cast iron, you don't want to cook it through on the stove, but if you sear it in cast iron, you can transfer it straight to the oven for roasting or braising. Cast iron is great for doing both steps in one dish.
|
The key to making evenly cooked bannock when frying it outside is consistent heat. Red, glowing fires from hardwood are better than fires with big flames.
|
You may want to choose the cooking method according to the type of roast you bought. Cheaper cuts, such as the shoulder, are ideal with a slow cooker, because they break down the marbled meat to a more tender consistency. Crown and loin cuts are better when cooked in a Dutch oven or roasting pan, because there is less fat in the tissue.
|
Heavier dutch ovens and cast-iron pans work best for frying meat — they retain heat well for a nice, even sear.

Make your magazine as original as possible. People want to read things that are new and fresh.

Not everyone will like every book. Encourage people to be open-minded and give everyone a chance to share books they enjoy.
|
If your tragedy is not a success, it's okay. Get many people's opinions before publishing your book, but remember that writing is a gift to the author more than anyone else. Seeing your work before you is the greatest thing you can give yourself, and don't let negative comments take that away from you.
|
Ask your friends and readers for advice. This is your work, and you can do anything you like with it, but it's also a new format, and it helps to pay attention to your audience. Try to get an idea of the things they like best about your blog, and play up those elements as it develops.

Improve Your Reflexes
|
xxx
|
The best way to prepare yourself to defend a punch is to practice under friendly circumstances. No matter how much you read, you are likely to freeze up and waste time thinking if you're not used to the actual situation. Just practicing the motions, not so much the force, will help you tremendously.
|
Remember that the more you practice a particular movement, the more reflexive that movement will become. If you want to get better at catching a baseball or hitting a tennis ball, the best way to do so is to practice, over and over, until you can do it without thinking.
|
Find a wall and start blasting at it, practice shooting and receiving the ball with both legs. Don't be static in this exercise, the more your body has to move, the better your ability will be.
|
Now that you know how to hit a backhand, it's important that you practice your backhand each time you play. Remember, the only way you'll get better is to practice. Knowing how you're supposed to do something and actually doing it are two different things. Practice hard to perfect your backhand.

Press-and-seal style cling wrap can help keep necklaces and bracelets from getting tangled. Lay the pieces on the cling wrap, and press it down to seal it around the individual pieces.
|
Hook the loop at the top of the necklace to something like a doorknob, a clipboard or your toe. You could also tape it to a table, or safety pin it to your jeans. Attach the two center strings to something as well, and simply maneuver the outer strings. This will help you maintain consistent tension as you tie your necklace.
|
Keep a constant tension when knotting to prevent twists and kinks forming in the bracelet. This applies for all types of string bracelets, from wrap bracelets to friendship bracelets.
|
In order to keep necklaces and bracelets from tangling, loop one end through a straw and clasp it on the other end.

Photograph Underwater

If you're an amateur astral photographer, shooting the full moon can help you get the hang of implementing different techniques and settings.
|
Have patience! It can be tricky to get the hang of underwater photography, but try taking a bunch of photos in a few different underwater settings to get the hang of it.
|
Play around with your photos. The good thing about taking pictures on a digital camera or your phone is that you can take all the photos you want, and then go back and pick out the good ones. Thus, there's no need to take your photo sessions too seriously.
|
Whichever method you use, It often takes several tries to be able to see the 3D image in a stereograph. Don't be surprised if it takes as much as 30 minutes for you to do it. Patience is key!

Repair Eyeglasses

|
If a white residue develops on the frames from contact with acetone, try rubbing them with an oil based lotion.
|
If the wall is completely dry and it still looks messy after you finish, wipe it down with a diluted muriatic acid mix.

If the salt irritates your skin, you may want to use a different technique for removing the glue. Acetone, hand lotion, and olive oil can all work well when applied without salt.
|
You can also use acetone to remove industrial glue from your skin. Apply moisturizer afterward since this can dry your skin out somewhat severely.

Play the Concertina
|
xxx
|
Realistically, if you just started playing last week, you're probably going to squeak for a while. It'll get better eventually with dedicated practice and perhaps a better instrument or higher quality reeds. A one-on-one lesson with your band director or a private teacher may be able to help you, as well.
|
If you are not really into practicing, try to force yourself anyway to practice every day at least once. Playing violin will not go by itself you know! As they say practice makes perfect. You don't have to practice an hour at once, just start with 15 minutes a day, and if you can keep up the good work, you can increase the practice time a bit every week or so.
|
The more you practice with a concertina, the better you'll become. Try to practice for at least 30 minutes a day.
|
Just like any other instrument, the only way to get better is to practice! Stick to a schedule of practicing for the same amount of time every day, if you can, to see significant improvement.

Turn Bike Handlebars Sideways
|
xxx
|
If you just got done with a long bike through some muddy or dusty conditions, give the bike frame a quick wipe with a clean cloth just to keep grime from building up on the frame.
|
To reshape the brim of your cap, wrap the bill around a canning jar or another broad, curved surface and secure it with a rubber band while it is still wet. Do this after you've already resized the hat to avoid drying issues resulting from either step.
|
To protect your bike, detach the handlebars to clean the stem at least once a year with anti-seize grease. Spread some of the grease around the inner part of the stem with a clean brush as well.
|
By following the above steps you will protect your bike over months of nonuse. When more favorable weather arrives, simply remove the shield or storage cover, check tire pressure, give bike a good wash, install battery if applicable, remove plastic cover, give it a good tune up, and you are ready to hit the road. Safe Riding!

Use Craigslist
|
xxx
|
Double-check all details of your listings and check to make sure the items work and are in stock before posting items for sale on eBay. This habit will help reduce the number of instances in which you might need to remove items from eBay.
|
When you request items such as samples online from companies you will be required to provide a postal address to receive them. Companies will often keep your address on file for direct mail advertising and may even give your address to other partner companies. Address collecting, along with anticipated positive product reviews, are part of the reason items are free. Never provide your address through a publicly viewable space such as within posts or comments on social media. If you do not feel comfortable providing a company with your address then don't!
|
Consider using the “Free” item column if you simply want to get rid of an item. In some cities, you can simply place the item on a cross street and post that it is there. People will peruse the ads and pick up desired items from the street.
|
If you want your AMV to get noticed, you have several options. Tag it appropriately and add as many relevant tags as possible. Ask a friend to watch it and possibly share it with others. Tell people who follow or subscribe to you to check it out. Feature your AMV on your website.

Remove a Blackhead from Your Forehead
|
xxx
|
The more you baby your skin, the less sensitive it will be. When selecting exfoliating agents and daily moisturizers, opt for products that limit the use of chemical ingredients and alcohol.
|
If your skin feels dry or irritated, try eliminating one of your skin care products from your routine. The combination of ingredients may be too harsh for your skin type. An oil-free moisturizer might also help if your skin is dried out by acne products.
|
If you find that your skin is dry even with a regular moisturizing routine, it is likely due to a buildup of dead skin that can prevent ingredients from absorbing properly. Regular exfoliation with gentle alpha-hydroxy acids can help in making sure the products you put on are more effective.
|
Not all beard oil is identical—select a product designed for your skin type. For example, select products that are made to minimize inflammation if you have sensitive skin.

Find the Degree of a Polynomial
|
xxx
|
If a term does not exist the coefficient is 0. It will be helpful to rewrite the equation if this occurs, e.g. x2 + 6 = x2 + 0x + 6.
|
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power within the terms.
|
By convention, the degree of the zero polynomial is generally considered to be negative infinity.
|
This also may mean that the "entire variable radius" of the square is equal to the standard radius of the equal circle, during a 360 turn, but I have yet to prove that. I think it may be unequal if the first derivatives are unequal.

Know if Your Best Friends Are Trying to Ditch You
|

|
Make sure to talk it out with your friend before ending the friendship. A lot of friendship problems stem from minor problems. (i.e. a boy, or a small argument).
|
Consider whether your "friend" is a real friend. For example, if you have fallen out and fought with your friend several times, whether it be on social media, on the phone, or in person, maybe it's time to end the friendship.
|
If you were friends for a while before dating, then stay friends, but remember to give him some space before jumping into the friendship. Don't cut him off completely, as this only makes you want him more. When you are both talking as friends again, try not to flirt, and set boundaries with each other.
|
If you don't want to be friends with someone, then end the friendship. Bad friendships are not good for mental health.

Be cautious in the use of alcohol and drugs. People with anxiety disorders are susceptible to self-medicating with mood-altering substances that help them relax and get their minds off their worries.

Some people suffering from mental health conditions use drugs and alcohol to self-medicate. If necessary, explain to your loved one that drinking or using drugs makes matters worse, encourage them to quit, and help them find a treatment program.

If you are a heavy drinker or you use drugs, these can both cause mood swings with the appearance of bipolar disorder. Abstaining from these substances may help.

Make Onion Ring Batter
|
xxx
|
Use shallow frying to prepare fragile foods that would break apart if deep fried (such as salmon patties, zucchini fritters or pancakes). When only partially submerged, they'll rest at the bottom of the pan, which helps hold them together.
|
Be sure to dry off vegetables before adding them to the wok. Wet vegetables will not properly stir fry, resulting in a braise. This will also prevent a soggy stir fry.
|
Use onions that are drier. The moisture in the rings may be one reason for poor adhesion of the batter. Some recommend cutting the rings the day before and placing inside a sealed container. Leave in the refrigerator to dry out for a day.
|
If you do blanch your beans, rinse them with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel before you use them in either recipe. The cold water stops the cooking process, preventing them from coming out overdone. Patting them dry ensures they fry properly (since water doesn't mix with oil, it can affect the cooking process when you fry).

Maintain a Planter
|

|
Read the care instructions for your plant to make sure you're providing it with the proper amount of water. Some plants don't require as much water, so it's easy to overwater them.
|
Take care of big yard projects, like planting new grass, before the onset of summer to make sure that grass and plants are growing properly. High temperatures and lack of moisture in the summer will make it difficult for newly-planted seed to flourish.
|
Visit your garden daily. Look for signs of stress in the plants. It is much better to catch a problem early and correct it than to let it harm the plants. Is the garden getting enough water, sunlight, and fertilizer?
|
Establish a plant care routine for the best results with your plants. Choose a time of day that you will water and tend to your plants so they get regular care.

Keep a Pet When You Have Cats
|
xxx
|
If your dog continues to chew, don't allow him to chew on any old personal items such as socks, shirts, or kids' toys. This will only confuse him about what he's allowed to chew and what is off limits. Try getting a rope specifically made for dogs at your local pet store and give it to your dog when you see him chewing.
|
Try capping your cats' claws with store-bought plastic caps to reduce the incidence of injury while playing. Not all cats will let you do this, but it is a decent deterrent if your cats allow it.
|
Purchase a repellent spray if your pet keeps urinating in the same area. There are a variety of sprays available for different types of pets, such as dogs and cats. Search for one that fits your household needs (such as being safe for use in houses with children) and won't damage your particular type of carpet.
|
You can also use a product, such as Soft Paws, to cover your cat's claws. While this won't stop the scratching, it will minimize the damage while you teach your pet more appropriate places to scratch.

Get Whiter Teeth Fast
|
xxx
|
Lean over a bowl of hot water before washing your face or applying the toothpaste (or any other pimple treatment). The hot steam will help open up the pores, making the products more effective.
|
Everyday when you brush your teeth, once you brush with toothpaste, put your toothbrush under hot water and go over your teeth a few times with hot water to give a refreshing taste.
|
Dry-brush your teeth. Using a naked toothbrush is a perfectly fine way of keeping your teeth clean, as most of the cleansing effects of toothbrushing come from the brush itself, as opposed to the paste you put on it. You may not get the scent and the "feeling" of a clean mouth, but you'll be helping keep your teeth free of plaque.

Teach Your Dog to Speak
|
xxx
|
Teach “speak” after you teach other commands like “sit” or “lay down.” If you teach “speak” first, your dog may start barking up a storm every time you try to teach them to a new trick.
|
Consider getting a collar or harness that says “Nervous” or “Do Not Pet” on it if you're worried about your dog biting other people.
|
Teach your dog to “lie down” before you teach him how to crawl.
|
You can also try simply rewarding your dog when you see it lay down on it's own, and attaching a command to it. The methods used here can teach your dog in less than a day.

The level of humidity should be adjusted according to the outside temperature. As the latter decreases, so should the humidity level do to avoid the condensation on your windows.
|
Raise the humidity as needed. Fridges are designed to keep humidity very low while good wine storage requires relatively high levels of humidity. You can purchase a hygrometer to track the moisture conditions. Humidity should be 70%. Keeping open containers of water in the mini-fridge is one way to increase humidity.
|
Non-steam humidifiers can be a useful tool for controlling humidity. Be sure to re-check humidity levels when the season changes.
|
Your humidifier will probably need adjustment when there are big changes in the outside temperature, like when the seasons turn. Plan on readjusting your humidistat every few months at least.

Choose an Exercise Program
|

|
Getting rid of cellulite takes time, effort, and patience. Don't be frustrated if you don't get results right away. The only surefire way to start seeing a difference is to improve your general health through diet, exercise and other positive habits in the long run.
|
Practice every day, if you're able to. If you practice often enough where the technique literally becomes an everyday thing, you'll be able to see your skills improve more rapidly. Feeling your skills tangibly increasing on a day-to-day basis is a powerful morale booster.
|
The first few weeks of trying out a new exercise program can be very tough. Stick with it and you'll reap the rewards of good health.
|
If you're new to exercising, start slow! Go for a light walk or bike ride. Work your way up to harder workouts and you'll eventually develop a habit of healthy exercise.

Make Ice Cream
|

|
You can use these methods to make any other flavor of milkshake, just switch out the ice cream for something else, such as mint chip, chocolate, or strawberry!
|
Once you've tried this version, start changing the flavors. Use your favorite flavored vodkas. Also consider adding other elements such as chocolate chips, raisins, honeycomb crunch pieces, dried fruit etc. These could be incorporated into the ice cream itself or simply sprinkled over the top as topping.
|
While vanilla ice cream is tasty, feel free to experiment with different flavors. Chocolate ice cream is easy to make, but you can also mix in fresh fruits such as strawberry or flavor extracts such as mint.
|
You can also add different flavors to your homemade pastry cream with the addition of fruit purees or flavored liqueurs. Some like to add flavored extracts such as lavender, green tea, lemon or mint. You can even add chocolate. These mix-ins can be added at the last stage just before the ice bath. Experiment with different flavors and quantities to your preference.

Make Rabbit Stew in Minecraft

Eating rabbit stew is one of the requirements for getting the "A Balanced Diet" advancement.
|
Eating fish as tuna and salmon several times a week will increase your intake of Omega 3 fats; adding walnuts and flax seeds on your salad is another step to your healthy diet.
|
Following a flexitarian diet is a great plan - it gives you a lot of wiggle room for occasionally having some meat or other animal products.
|
Because it is hard and inadvisable to eat normally after getting a piercing, try drinking dietary supplement drinks (Slim-fast, Ensure, etc.) as they contain a lot of protein, etc. Remember you still have to eat your soups and mashed foods with this!

The ProPoints Plan allows for flexible points of up to 49 per week. Flex points are designed to allow you more freedom in your calorie consumption. For instance, if you have given yourself more activity points on a certain day, you may add flex points for food, but not to exceed 49 in a week's time. You may also use flex points for situations such as dining out. Asses your flex points daily and decide if you need to use them that day, but realize that flex points can't be rolled over to the following week.
|
Once you know your BMR, you can multiply it by an activity multiplier to calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which estimates the total number of calories you expend in a day. The activity multiplier for sedentary people is 1.2, lightly active people (light exercise 1 to 3 times per week) is 1.375, moderately active people (moderate exercise 3 to 5 times per week) is 1.55, very active people (hard exercise 6 to 7 times per week) is 1.725, and extremely active people (hard daily exercise or training more than once in a day) is 1.9.
|
Use these approximate calorie counts to calculate the calories you burn. Divide the actual minutes spent doing the task by 60 (1 hour). Multiply this figure by the calorie count to figure out how many calories you are actually burning. You can establish daily workouts according to the time, calories or intensity you prefer.
|
The calorie projections are based on a 150 lb. (68 kg) female doing approximately 30 minutes of an activity. Actual calorie burning will differ from person to person.

Don't forget about hygiene! You're growing up, and one thing about being a grown-up is that when you sweat (and even when you don't) you get STINKY. Yes, YOU. Everyone gets smelly - take a shower and wash your hair. Use deodorant, brush your teeth (yes, dude, you need to - sleep 10 minutes and taste that funk and then think about how it is after all night), and wear freshly laundered clothes. If classmates can smell you stinking, you're painting a target on your back, even if people don't say it to your face, they'll talk behind your back. Sad, but true. Make sure you are fresh and clean, it gives everyone less to pick on about you.

Test Iodine Levels
|

|
Seaweed, yogurt, cranberries, and beans are all good sources of dietary iodine. Iodine deficiency is a common cause of hypothyroidism, so it's important to incorporate iodine-rich foods into your diet.
|
Keep in mind that eating refined grains like biscuits, white bagels, pancakes, and waffles will greatly increase your blood sugar if you have diabetes because these are simple carbohydrates. Choosing complex carbohydrates like whole wheat bread and oatmeal is always a better option due to the higher levels of fiber, which will result in steadier blood sugars.
|
Although what causes thyroid nodules isn't always clear, some nodules can develop as a result of iodine deficiency. Make sure to include iodine-rich foods like seafood, seaweed, eggs, and dairy products in your diet to lower your risk of developing thyroid nodules in the future.

Unusually high water heater bills may be a sign of hard water, as mineral scale can clog your system and make it less efficient. Some water heaters have a label that tells you the expected energy consumption for the average household. Multiply this by the cost your power company charges per kilowatt-hour for a rough estimate of expected cost.

If you want to make sure that the plants have a steady supply of nutrients, you can apply half strength (1/4 cup FPJ per gallon of water). This is applied everyday.

Clean Windows Without Chemicals
|
xxx
|
Putting a door on a wall that has been properly soundproofed will be a weak spot that will leak sound. If you must do this, you should consider installing acoustical door seals (or gasketing strips) for the door. Seal the area behind the door casing (molding) where the drywall meets the door jamb, then replace the door trim.
|
Unfortunately, it isn't possible to clean inside a double paned window without ruining the airtight seal between the panes. However, dirt build-up or cobwebs in between the windows indicates the seal has already been breached, so you may want to consider replacing the windows.
|
Use masking tape to make a large 'X' on any mirrors, curio cabinets, or anything else with glass. This may not prevent it from breaking from vibration but will help contain broken glass, as much of it will stick to the tape. Consider removing glass panels and packing them flat inside a drawer or mirror box. Take the measurements to a packing store and you can have a box made.
|
Many window panes can be taken out for cleaning. Check the top of the panel for slide locks that will release the top of the window and allow it to swing down. That way you can clean both the outside (usually the dirtiest part) AND the inside.
