The skin around your eyes is much thinner and more sensitive than the skin anywhere else on your body, and as such, it needs to be treated with extra care.  Eye creams are designed specifically for this type of skin and should be the only product (other than eye makeup) that is applied to this area. Always apply your eye cream using your middle or ring finger on your dominant hand.  The reason for this is that this finger is used the least and will be the most gentle. If your eye cream comes in a pump bottle, you'll need to pump a small amount of the cream onto the finger you're going to use, and add more as needed.  If you're eye cream comes in a tub-like container, you can simply dip your finger into that container as needed. After you've blended your eye cream into your skin, wait 1-2 minutes before applying any eye makeup.  This is especially important if you use any liquid types of eye makeup, as it may run if your skin is too damp. It is especially important to remove all your eye makeup at the end of the day, before you wash your face before bed.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Use only eye cream around your eyes. Apply eye cream only with your finger. Allow the eye cream to dry before applying makeup.

Pay a visit to both sets of parents separately to declare your intentions to marry. It's customary for the bride's side of the family to be the first to hear about their daughter's engagement. In fact, tradition dictates that the groom should ask the bride's father for her hand in marriage before he ever pops the question.  Generally, the parents should be the first people to find out. If you have children from a previous marriage, though, they should be consulted before anyone else.  Your parents should be the first people to officially find out about your engagement, even if you've already gotten their approval. If you're unable to visit your parents in the flesh, a phone call (or better yet, a video chat) will make it possible to talk to them one-on-one. Get in touch with as many members of both families as you can and invite them over for a light luncheon, or offer to take them out to dinner. There, you can reveal your surprise to everyone at once. This makes for a more reverent gesture and also saves you the trouble of having to contact everyone individually.  Feel free to extend your invitation to siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and anyone else who you're close to.

A phone call may feel somewhat impersonal, but it's your best bet when paying a visit isn't an option.  Briefly recap the recent history of your relationship for those you haven't spoken to in a while to catch them up. A phone call is also the best way to alert your close friends if you're not going to see them right away. If you're not sure how best to reach someone, consider whether they would be offended by receiving a phone call as opposed to a personal letter. If you have family members living out of visiting range, you can reach them by mail. Taking the time write out a formal announcement is more considerate than simply typing up an email. It shows that you're thinking about the person, even if you can't be there to deliver the news in person.  If you've already chosen a date for the wedding, send out a “Save-the-Date” card that contains details like the date, time, location and any special instructions for the attendees. Start mailing your announcements soon after making your engagement official so your recipients will have plenty of time to make arrangements.

Look up diagrams for the make and model of your vehicle so you can locate the exhaust system. The exhaust system starts with the manifold, which is the section of 4–8 pipes that connect to your engine guide the fumes underneath your vehicle through a metal downpipe. Look for a long pipe that has metal boxes near the front and back and  runs from the engine to the vehicle’s rear.  The catalytic converter is a metal box near the front of the exhaust pipe that filters out harmful gases, such as nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. Your exhaust system may have more than 1 catalytic converter. The oxygen sensors are electronic ports that plug into the exhaust system before and after the catalytic converters to check if your engine is burning oxygen efficiently. The wires for the oxygen sensors will go directly into your vehicle’s body. The resonator is a slightly wider section of your exhaust pipe that helps reduce the amount of noise when you run your engine at certain RPMs. Not every exhaust system will have a resonator. The muffler is the large metal box near the rear of your vehicle that helps reduce the amount of noise your exhaust makes. The tailpipe is the small section of tubing that connects to the back of the muffler and allows the fumes to escape into the air. Exhaust fumes can get extremely hot while you’re driving, which can cause the pipes to heat up and cause burns. If you’ve driven your vehicle before you want to install the new system, put it in park, turn off the ignition, and allow the engine and pipes to cool down. Leave the vehicle alone for about 1 hour until you can comfortably handle the exhaust pipes.  Don’t touch the exhaust pipes immediately after running your vehicle since they will be extremely hot. You can try spraying the exhaust system with lukewarm water to help cool it down faster. so you can work underneath it using a jack. Park your vehicle on a flat, level surface so it’s less likely to roll or move while you’re working. Place the jack so the arm that raises up underneath the frame at the front or back of the vehicle. Pull the handle of the jack down to lift the vehicle off of the ground high enough so you can get underneath it.  Avoid using a scissor jack when you raise your vehicle since they aren’t as reliable and they could easily slip. You can also drive your vehicle onto ramps to lift it off of the ground. If you use ramps, be sure to put heavy blocks behind your tires so they’re less likely to roll. Jack stands have sturdy bases and are less likely to slip than when you’re using a jack. Position the jack stands underneath the vehicle’s frame or lift points in front of or behind the tires. Slowly lower your jack so the body of your vehicle sits on the jack stands.  You can buy jack stands from an automotive supply shop. Don’t get underneath your vehicle until you have jack stands firmly in place, or else the vehicle could fall on top of you.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Familiarize yourself with the parts of the exhaust system. Let the exhaust system cool if you’ve used your vehicle recently. Raise your vehicle Place jack stands near each tire to keep the vehicle from moving around.


A sealer will make your colored grout stain-resistant, since it makes the grout more resistant to oil- and water-based products. If your grout is very soiled, you could also re-apply the color sealant originally used to color the grout.  Depending on the amount of wear and tear and the type of sealant you choose, you will need to re-apply it every year or two. If you are not sure whether your grout is sufficiently sealed, drip some water on it. If the water stays on the surface of the grout, it is sufficiently sealed. However, if the grout absorbs the water, you need to reseal the grout.  When you purchase the sealer, ask if it is both hydrophobic and oleophobic. Some sealers are only water-repelling or hydrophobic, whereas others will repel both water and oil-based substances. When coffee or soda spills on your colored grout, you should wipe it up right away. This will reduce the amount of work involved in cleaning the grout. When you finish your shower, use a squeegee to quickly wipe down your shower tiles. This will prevent the accumulation of lime, soap deposits and rust stains on your colored grout.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Apply a penetrating sealer to your colored grout. Wipe up spills right away. Wipe down your shower tiles after showering.

If your guy friend likes you, hanging out with you will become one of his favorite things to do. He'll want to hang out with you as much as he can and will sometimes even cancel his other plans to be able to do so. If your guy friend suddenly seems to be contacting you to see what you're up to and find out whether you're busy every day, you may be dealing with a lovesick guy pal. Guys with big crushes on their lady friends will sometimes very subtly allude to their feelings in conversation. They do this in a number of ways. Some try to steer the conversation toward romantic topics, asking questions about who their female friend likes and whether she's looking for someone. Others will want to talk about the practice of dating itself, for instance, joking about how ridiculous most couples seem to be. Keep track of the types of conversations you have with your guy friend - if they mostly seem to be about romance or dating, even if he makes no indication that he's interested in dating you specifically, this may be his way of signalling his interest. There's an obvious exception to this rule. If your guy friend involves you in his love life by asking you for advice with other girls, it's usually a sign that he thinks of you as a non-romantic friend. Some guys are less shy than others. Especially confident guys may even enjoy openly flirting with you. If your guy friend has developed a habit of playfully teasing you, making silly innuendos, or seems to enjoy scandalizing you, this shows that, at the very least, he's thought about you as more than a friend. Realize that a guy's intentions can be somewhat vague when he flirts. Many guys have a habit of flirting, then playing their flirtation off as a joke if their advances aren't immediately reciprocated. Still others flat out use flirtation and innuendo as a form of goofing off. Persistent, repeated flirtation, however, is almost always a sign of something more. Guys who wish they were dating their gal friend sometimes recreate the atmosphere of a date when they're hanging out with her. Keep an eye out for this - when you meet your guy friend for a friendly meal, does he seem a little more "formal" than usual? For instance, if he's normally vulgar and loud-mouthed, does he become quieter and more reserved? Does he develop good manners out of nowhere? Does he insist on paying for you? If so, your guy friend may be taking you on a "fake date" in an attempt to make the real thing a possibility. Also, pay attention to where he takes you and how he dresses. If he takes you to fancier, "nicer" places than you'd normally go to while hanging out and he "cleans up" his appearance, you'll know you're on a fake date. This is one of the most important things to look for when trying to figure out whether a guy friend is into you, but it's something that's often overlooked. If you think your guy friend is being especially affectionate with you, before jumping to conclusions, pay attention to the way he interacts with other girls. If he acts the same way around other girls that he does around you, you may be dealing with natural flirt or extrovert, rather than a secret admirer. Listen when your guy friend talks to you about other girls. As noted above, if he openly asks you for advice on how to attract and win over other girls, he probably doesn't see you as anything more than a friend. However, if he seems unsatisfied with other girls, complaining about how he just can't seem to find the right person, this may be his way of hinting that he's interested in you.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

See whether he makes hanging out a special priority. Pay attention to the things you talk about together. Look out for flirting. Know a "fake date" when it happens. Note how he treats other girls.


Close the lid on the smoker or grill.  Slide the Bundt pan over the top of the chimney, so the chimney is venting through the hole in the middle of the pan. On a chimenea, place the pan on the grate at the top of the chimney. A Bundt pan is ideal for this job because the hole in the center of the pan will allow heat and moisture to rise through the middle. Find a heat-proof metal bowl that’s the same diameter as the Bundt pan. Turn the bowl over and use it as a lid to cover the pan below. Now the heat, smoke, and moisture that rise through the center of the Bundt pan will be trapped by the bowl and collect in the pan below. Place a few frozen ice packs on top of the upside-down metal bowl. The difference in temperature between the hot smoke and the cold bowl will cause a smoky condensation to form on the top of the bowl. This will then drip down into the Bundt pan as liquid smoke that you can collect. Instead of ice packs, you can also use a bag of ice or a freezer bag filled with ice. You'll know they're done when the food is cooked, or when the coals burn out. An hour will give the bowl and Bundt pan setup enough time to collect at least a few teaspoons (several milliliters) of liquid. When the coals have burned out and the wood chips have released all of their smoke, carefully remove the bowl and Bundt pan from the chimney. Protect your hands with gloves, as the metal may still be very hot. Remove the bowl from the top of the Bundt pan. Place a funnel into a small glass jar and pour the contents of the Bundt pan into the jar. Remove the funnel and seal the jar with an airtight lid. Store the liquid smoke at room temperature until you're ready to use it.  Liquid smoke can be used to flavor barbecue sauces, marinades, beans, and other foods. For the best results, use the liquid smoke within 6 months.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Place a Bundt pan on top of the chimney. Cover the Bundt pan with a mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with ice. Allow the wood chips to smoke for an hour. Collect the liquid from the Bundt pan. Bottle the liquid smoke.


If your upper kitchen cabinets can accommodate the size of your microwave, try tucking the appliance inside one of them. That way, when you close the cabinet door, the microwave is completely out of sight.  Be sure to choose a cabinet with easy access to an electrical outlet. Double-check that the microwave door will have plenty of clearance so it’s easy accessible when you need to use it. If you have room to spare in your pantry, consider moving the microwave inside of it. Make sure there’s easy access to an electrical outlet before you haul it into the pantry, though! It’s best to place it on a shelf that’s easily reachable for everyone in your family, so take everyone’s height into account. If you have a lower cabinet with doors, you can situate the microwave there and close the door to conceal it completely. If your lower shelves are exposed, this is still a good spot for you microwave, since it will look somewhat integrated into the lower cabinetry. Microwaves that are positioned below eye level tend to look less conspicuous. If your kitchen has an island with lower shelf space, place your microwave there. Unless your island has cabinet doors for the lower shelves, choose the side that faces inward so that the microwave is only visible to people standing inside your kitchen. Placing it on a lower shelf on the side that faces outward is still a good choice, but it’ll be a little more visible there. If your enclosed upper cabinets can’t accommodate your microwave, consider positioning your microwave on one of the upper exposed shelves. It won’t be completely concealed on an exposed shelf, but it will look incorporated into the cabinetry, making it far less conspicuous. If possible, choose an upper shelf that faces in toward the kitchen, like a side wall shelf. While still exposed, your microwave will look uniform with your fridge and integrated into the decor of the kitchen if you place it on top of your fridge. If your microwave and fridge are the same color, that helps to disguise the microwave even more! If your fridge and microwave aren't the same color, positioning it there still creates a more unified look than if it were just sitting on the counter. Most microwaves have ventilation requirements in order to function properly. While some microwaves don’t need any extra ventilation because they have it at the bottom or under the legs, many will need back or side ventilation. Before moving your microwave, consult the manual for specific information.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Put the microwave in a spare cabinet above the kitchen counter. Tuck the appliance out of sight in your pantry. Place it on a lower shelf or cabinet under a kitchen counter. Hide the microwave on the inside of an island. Put it on an exposed upper shelf for a seamless look. Situate it on top of your refrigerator for an integrated look. Check your microwave’s manual about ventilation requirements before moving it.


It’s best to choose a heavy-duty bag, to prevent rips and leaks, that’s large enough to hold the racks. It’s actually the fumes from the ammonia, not the liquid itself, that clean the racks, so you don’t need more than 2 cups (0.50  qt). Use tape or rubber bands to seal it securely and keep the fumes contained. Place the bag outside or in a garage or shed overnight, rather than keeping it in your home. If you absolutely cannot leave the bag outside, place it in the bathtub with the bathroom window open or ventilation fan on. Put on gloves and make sure you open the bag outside or in a well-ventilated area. Remove the racks and place them in the sink or tub. Flush the ammonia down the toilet or pour it down the drain with plenty of water and dispose of the bag in the garbage can. Use hot water to rinse the gunk and ammonia off the racks. Dry them with a clean towel, then put them back in your oven.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Place the oven racks in a new trash bag with 2 cups (0.50  qt) of ammonia. Seal the bag and let it sit outside overnight. Open the bag in the morning and remove the racks. Rinse the racks thoroughly, then dry and replace them.


Make sure that the content you upload to your channel remains consistent with the theme of your channel. For example, if you start by releasing several movie reviews, don’t move on to uploading recipe videos later. You will lose subscribers if they find that your content doesn’t match their expectations. Create multiple channels for different subjects and themes. This will allow you to link between your channels but keep your different content separate so as not to confuse viewers. Replying to good comments and giving shout-outs to subscribers in your clips will really help strengthen the community of your channel. Make sure to moderate your channel as well, removing any nasty messages that may upset other subscribers. This will keep your channel friendly and popular. Find channels that share your interests, and subscribe to them. Leave thoughtful and well-written comments, and you will soon find subscribers from that channel coming to your channel as well. YouTube is a community, and interacting with it will help you grow much more than simply uploading your videos.  Upload video responses to other videos when they fit, but avoid spamming other channels with your videos. You are likely to be ignored and blocked, which will hurt your chances of gaining subscribers. Treat other channels with respect, and you will start to see yours grow. Make sure you use the name of the channel or person you are responding to in the video title so it can easily be found. Leave positive comments on other people's videos. Just make sure they are relevant and not spammy. Use other social networking outlets such as Facebook and Twitter to advertise your channel. Let your friends and followers know when you’ve uploaded a new video. Include a quick blurb about it when you post. If you have a blog, include a direct link to your YouTube channel so that your readers can easily find your video content. Simply use the following code to create a YouTube subscription widget: <script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>  <div class="g-ytsubscribe" data-channel="Your Channel Name Here">   </div>

Cassava flour is denser and works great in products like cookies and brownies, but perform poorly in bread that has to rise significantly. Avoid using cassava flour in recipes that require your food to rise like cakes. Food created with cassava flour will typically be a bit denser than if you used an all-purpose flour or other flour that contains gluten. Cassava flour is great for recipes like tortillas, pita bread, cookies, and brownies. While a measuring cup typically works in many cooking scenarios, cassava flour is denser than traditional wheat flour. For this reason, you'll want to measure your flour before you use it in a recipe using a digital scale. If you don't have a scale, the most accurate way to measure your flower is by fluffing it up and then scooping it using a measuring a spoon. This will prevent it from packing down. Once you're done measuring, level it off with a butter knife or other straight utensil. In many situations, cassava flour will work with a 1:1 ratio where you would usually use wheat flour. The only exception is when you are dealing with recipes that must rise or use yeast, as the flour is known to be denser and has issues rising. Cassava flour does not have the same nutritional value as wheat, so if you do decide to use it, make sure you are supplementing your diet with other foods that contain vitamins and nutrients. To become acclimated with how to properly use cassava flour, you should begin working it into the recipes that you are already used to making. Take note on how using the cassava flour changes the consistency and taste of your food. Determine if you like using the flour before incorporating it into more complex recipes.  Once you feel comfortable using cassava flour, start to experiment with other recipes. Cassava flour will impart a subtle earthy, and nutty flavor to whatever you're cooking. Take this into consideration when creating dishes. Look for products that say 100 percent Yuca (cassava) on the label. Avoid products that use artificial ingredients or fillers because these brands of flour aren't as healthy as pure cassava flour. Pure cassava flour will have one ingredient: Yuca.  Sometimes cassava flour will be called manioc flour.  A popular cassava flour is Otto's Naturals. If you are making a recipe that calls for yeast, you can use Xanthan Gum as a replacement. Xanthan Gum helps bind the cassava flour together. If you're not vegan, adding an extra egg to a recipe may also help bind foods that call for yeast. For most recipes, add 1/2 tsp (2.46 ml) xanthan gum for each cup of flour that you're using. While tapioca and cassava flour and made from the same root, they differ in use significantly. Tapioca flour is traditionally used as a thickening agent and works well in things like pudding or sauces while cassava flour can be used as a replacement for all purpose or gluten free flours. Do not get the two confused when buying your cassava flour. Tapioca is the extracted starch of the cassava root, while cassava flour is made by grinding and peeling the whole root.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Avoid cooking things that have to rise. Weigh your cassava flour. Use a 1:1 ratio as a replacement for wheat flour recipes. Start with recipes that you know. Purchase pure cassava flour without artificial additives. Adjust recipes that contain yeast. Understand that cassava flour is not tapioca flour.


You can buy chicken feed online or at a local store that sells livestock supplies. Chickens usually eat about 0.5 cups (120 ml) of feed per day. Each day, measure out enough feed for all your chickens and place it in the feeder. For example, if you have 3 chickens, give them 1.5 cups (350 ml) of chicken feed. Grit helps with digestion and provides extra calcium. You can buy grit online or at a local livestock supply store. Keep a small dish of grit in the coop at all times. Chickens will can self regulate how to eat grit, and will do so when they need to digest food or lay eggs. You should also supplement a chicken's diet with table scraps. These provide adequate vitamins and minerals that are necessary for your chicken's health. Leftover fruits, vegetables, and grains are great for a chicken's health.  While most table scraps are safe for a chicken, there are certain foods you should not feed your chicken. Do not feed your chicken: raw potatoes, rotting food, peanuts, dried beans, chocolate, junk food (chips, candy, etc.), eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, avocados, or raw meat.  Make sure you remove any leftover scraps before the rot. Rotting food attracts bugs, pests, and bacteria into the coop. You should make sure the water container is full and free of debris each time you check on your chickens. Add more water as needed or replace water that's been contaminated. Chickens usually drink between 1.5–2.5 cups (350–590 ml) of water per day. Choose water containers that are easy to remove and disinfect. Living in the city makes the water more likely to be contaminated, so check and clean the containers often. You should check nests every night for eggs. If your hens are cackling loudly overnight, this is a sign they are laying eggs. Remove the eggs in the morning. If any eggs have broken, you should remove any shells and yolk.  Prior to eating your eggs, wash them. You can wipe eggs with a dry cloth, but if you notice any manure use a wet cloth to wipe down eggs. Use warm water to wipe down eggs, as cold water can make eggs shrink. You should let eggs air dry before storing them in cartons for use later.

Provide enough chicken food. Add grit. Feed them table scraps. Provide water. Remove the eggs regularly.

If you don’t have a fever and the pain from your infection isn’t serious, you can wait 2–3 days for the infection to clear up on its own. If this doesn’t happen—or if the symptoms worsen—make an appointment to see your doctor. Describe your symptoms to the doctor and clarify when the infection began. In some cases, your general practitioner may refer you to a dermatologist. If your belly-button infection is caused by bacteria, your doctor should write you a prescription for an antibiotic cream. These creams typically need to be applied to the affected area 2 or 3 times a day over a period of about a week. The infection—and any associated pain—should fade as you use the cream.  Ask your doctor how often you should apply the cream or ointment and how much to apply per treatment. Use gloves while applying the ointment, and always wash your hands with soap and warm water after touching the area or applying medications. This will help prevent the infection from spreading. In the case of a fungal navel infection, your doctor will prescribe an antifungal cream or ointment for you to use. Apply the cream as directed by rubbing it onto the red, flaky skin around your navel.  In the case of a mild belly-button infection, the doctor may recommend that you use an over-the-counter antifungal ointment or cream. Use gloves to apply the ointment and always wash your hands with warm, soapy water when you’re done. As basic as it may seem, a shower is the best way to clean your navel and keep bacteria and fungi out. Use a gentle soap, a soft washcloth, and warm water to clean your abdomen and navel.  Once you step out from the shower, don’t put any lotion onto your belly button (even if you apply lotion to the rest of your body). The lotion will make your belly button damp and will encourage bacteria to grow. To prevent the spread of infection, don’t share your towels or washcloths with anyone else, even your spouse or partner. Clean the shower or bath after you use it with a solution of 1⁄2  c (120 mL) of bleach per 1 US gal (3.8 L) of water. If your belly button is an “innie,” clean it with salt water to prevent another infection from occurring. Mix a spoonful of table salt in 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water. Then, dip 1 finger into the solution. Use your finger to massage the saltwater into the recesses of your belly button. Do this 1 time per day until your infection has cleared up. This should clean out any lingering bacteria and fungi. If you’d rather not use your finger to clean your navel, try using a clean, damp washcloth instead. Some navel infections are contagious and can spread to other people or other parts of your own body. Fungal infections can be especially easy to spread. Try to resist touching or scratching your navel while it is infected, and always wash your hands after touching it or applying lotion. Change and wash your clothing and bedsheets regularly. If you live other people, don’t share personal items such as towels or bedclothes with them. Encourage everyone to wash their hands regularly.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Schedule a doctor's appointment if you suspect a navel infection. Apply an antibiotic ointment or cream provided by your doctor. Use an antifungal cream if your infection is caused by a fungus. Take a daily shower to prevent future navel infections. Massage your belly button with salt water if you have a deep navel. Use proper hygiene to keep the infection from spreading or returning.


Sear the meat over medium-high heat until the oxtails brown on all sides. Use tongs to turn them halfway through the cooking time so they heat evenly. Browning the meat creates a rich, deep flavor. Use a slotted spoon to carefully scoop out the tender oxtails. Place them in a serving dish and set them aside while you thicken the sauce that's in the pot. Turn off the burner and ladle the gravy over the oxtails in the serving dish. Consider serving them with steamed rice or crusty bread. You can refrigerate the leftover oxtails in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Cook the oxtails for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the oxtails to a serving dish. Spoon the gravy over the oxtails.


Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can scrub plaque and surface stains off of your teeth. You can apply it to your teeth as a whitener in a number of ways:  Dip a dampened toothbrush directly into powdered baking soda. Brush your teeth as you normally would, spit out the baking soda, and rinse your mouth with water. Make a paste of baking soda and water. Put some baking soda in a small container that you can close (to store the paste). Slowly stir water a few drops at a time into the baking soda until a smooth paste forms. Apply to your toothbrush, then brush and rinse your teeth as normal. Baking soda might irritate the tissues of your mouth. If you notice any inflammation or soreness, use this treatment less frequently. Baking soda combined with hydrogen peroxide makes a very effective teeth whitener. This treatment, however, should not be used frequently. Hydrogen peroxide can irritate the tissues of your mouth, and prolonged use may cause serious problems. To make this whitener:  Pour a teaspoon of baking soda into a bowl or small dish. Stir five to seven drops of hydrogen peroxide into the baking soda until a smooth paste forms. You can also add a drop of peppermint extract to improve the flavor of the mixture.  Apply to your toothbrush, then brush and rinse your teeth as normal. Be sure to spit out all of the peroxide—do not swallow it. Rinse your mouth well afterwards. Since the citric acid found in lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, it can make a great whitening agent. You can make a paste by combining the two ingredients, and use it infrequently as a whitener.  Pour a teaspoon of baking soda into a bowl or small dish. Stir lemon juice a few drops at a time into the baking soda until a smooth paste is formed. Apply the paste to your teeth (using a finger is fine) and let it sit for two to three minutes. Rinse your teeth with water afterwards. Use this treatment no more than once a week, as citric acid can also damage the enamel of your teeth, and irritate the tissues of your mouth. Vinegar is acidic, like lemon, and so it can help to whiten your teeth, especially when combined with baking soda. A mixture of the two can be used as a paste to brush your teeth clean.  Pour a teaspoon of baking soda into a bowl or small dish. Stir vinegar a few drops at a time into the baking soda until a smooth paste is formed. Dip a dampened toothbrush in the paste and brush as normal. Rinse your mouth with water afterwards.

regularly with warm water and antibacterial soap. Proper hand washing can go a long way to prevent exposure to infections and germs, especially if your immune system and neutrophil levels are low. Scrub your hands with soap and water for 15-30 seconds. Then, rinse them well under warm, running water and dry your hands well with a paper towel.  Make sure you wash your hand before eating, drinking or taking medicine, and after using the bathroom. Wash your hands before touching food or any parts of your body, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth. Always wash your hands after touching pets or animals. Protect your mouth and nose by wearing a face mask when you go outside or to public places, especially anywhere with large crowds. You can also wear a face mask at home if you live with others or your living space is dusty, moldy, or dirty. You can buy face masks at your local medical supply store or online. Do not spend time with others who are sick or ill, as this can expose you to germs. Ask people who have the flu or cold to keep their distance until your neutrophil levels return to normal. You may also avoid going to areas or spaces that are crowded, such as malls, where there may be people who are sick or ill. Brush and floss your teeth 2-3 times a day as well as every time you eat. Try rinsing your mouth with water and baking soda to remove germs or bacteria. Rinse your toothbrush regularly under warm, running water to keep it clean.

Do not remove them from their pans just yet. This section will teach you how to make a tasty glaze to add between your cake layers. It will result in a moister, tastier cake. If you do not wish to add the glaze, you can skip to the next section. Without removing the cakes from the pans, cut off as much as you can from the top, bumpy part of each cake. Don't worry about leveling off the edges of the cake. Save the scraps for making cake balls or eat them. You only need to poke holes in the part that was not cut. This will give the glaze more gaps to sink into. Pour the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the thawed lemonade concentrate and water. Stir briskly with a whisk until everything is combined and smooth. Don't worry if the glaze looks liquid-y; this will help the glaze soak into the cakes better. Without removing the cakes from their pans, pour the glaze evenly over the top of each one. Don't worry if the glaze pools in the corners. Wrap the top of each cake with plastic wrap. Place the cakes into the fridge for at least 1 hour up to overnight. The frosting will also need to be chilled. Save some time, and prepare the frosting while the cake is chilling, then stick it into the fridge. By the time the frosting is done chilling, the cake will too.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 1 hour. Level the cakes off as much as you can. Poke holes in the cake using a fork. Prepare your glaze. Pour the glaze over the cakes. Cover and chill the cakes.


You'll need six planks of the same wood to create the fence. Different types of wood will produce different color fences.

Use a ball that is not too heavy and not too big, like a tennis ball, so your guinea pig can maneuver it easily. You will also need a treat that is long and flat, like a carrot stick.  Place the carrot stick on the ground and then put the tennis ball on top of the carrot stick. Encourage your guinea pig to try to push the ball off the treat so she can access the treat and say “Push the ball.” Repeat these steps and over time you should be able to remove the treat so she learns to push the ball on her own, without the treat. You will need a hoop that is about 6” - 10” in diameter, or you can use pipe cleaners to form a hoop that is close to that size. The top of an ice cream tub or a tennis racket without the strings would also work. Make sure that whatever you use as a hoop, there are no sharp edges or anything your guinea pig can get stuck on as she learns to jump.  Begin by holding the hoop so it touches the ground or the bottom of your guinea pig’s cage. Hold a treat on one side of the hoop, or have someone help you by holding the treat as you hold the hoop. Call your guinea pig’s name and make sure she can see the treat on the other side of the hoop. Say the command: “Through the hoop”. You may need to give your guinea pig a nudge or a gentle push to convince her to jump through the hoop. Over time, she will be motivated enough by the treat to jump through the hoop and get it. Praise her and give her the treat when she goes through the hoop. Repeat these steps until your guinea pig starts to go through the hoop on her own, without the motivation of the treat. Many guinea pig owners teach their pets to go to the bathroom in a litter box. However, this takes a lot of patience and practice. When you are first litter box training your guinea pig, be prepared for some accidents and do not scold or punish your guinea pig if this happens. Your guinea pig will respond more to positive reinforcement and acknowledgment.  To litter train your guinea pig, place a litter box in the spot in her cage where she goes to the bathroom often. Place a handful of hay in the box and a few fecal pellets. When you notice your guinea pig using the litter box, give her a treat as praise. Over time, she will understand that using the litter box is a good thing that leads to treats and she will start to use it regularly.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Train your guinea pig to push a ball. Teach her to jump through a hoop. Practice litter box training.


If you are planning to stay together, forgiveness is a must. Holding on to resentment and bitterness will only poison your relationship in the future. Make a conscious decision to forgive your spouse and move forward.  It may be difficult to forgive your spouse all at once, especially if the betrayal happened recently. Instead, work towards a goal of forgiveness as you rebuild your relationship. Try saying something like "I forgive you," or "I am working on forgiveness" out loud to yourself, your spouse, and to other people. Even if you don't feel ready to forgive just yet, saying your intentions out loud may help you to move towards feeling ready to forgive. Counseling can be an invaluable tool in rebuilding your relationship with your spouse. A counselor will help you figure out why the infidelity happened. They can also help you find ways to work through your emotions and teach you to communicate better with each other. Counseling can also help you and your spouse decide whether continuing the relationship is the right choice for you. Many people who have affairs do so because their needs are not being met at home. If this contributed to your spouse cheating, it's important to address that issue and take steps to fix it, if possible.  Lack of emotional intimacy and sexual fulfillment are among the most common reasons people stray. Taking responsibility for relationship problems doesn't mean excusing your spouse's infidelity. Designate regular times to check in with your spouse. Don't just talk about their affair – discuss your current feelings, what each of you needs from the other, and your goals for the relationship as you move forward. Talk about things that are not related to your relationships as well, such as your passions, goals, and dreams. This can help to restore some of the excitement in your relationship.  Re-opening channels of communication with your spouse helps to restore your relationship after living with the secrecy and lies of infidelity. If you find that you spend too much time discussing the affair itself, try setting aside 15 minutes a day to talk about it. Stick to other topics the rest of the time. After your trust has been compromised with an affair, it can be difficult to reconnect with your spouse on a physical level. However, if you choose to rebuild your marriage, this is a step you must take to fully recover and move on.  You can restore intimacy in your marriage by making an effort to communicate your deepest desires with your spouse—your inner thoughts and feelings. In addition, dating each other again may also help. Go on a romantic trip with your spouse. Return to your earlier days when you lovingly traded massages, cuddled on the couch most evenings, and discussed your days during dinner rather than eating in silence. Marriage counseling can also be helpful in allowing you and your spouse to cross the bridge back to sexual intimacy. This may take time as you may have built up walls after the infidelity, and it may be the last thing that you work on. Try to focus one rebuilding your relationship and this should follow in time.  It's important for you to both be honest with yourselves and fully grieve the betrayal to become physical partners again.  You can also make an effort to be physically affectionate with each other until you are ready to have an intimate relationship again. Simple things like holding hands, kissing each other goodbye, and giving each other hugs may help to improve your emotional and physical intimacy. Don't call your spouse constantly to check up on where they are or insist that they spend all their free time with you. While this behavior is understandable, it's likely to make your spouse feel smothered, which could drive a wedge between you. It is reasonable to ask for some accountability from your spouse after a betrayal. Just be careful not to cross the line into unhealthily jealous or controlling behavior. Doing new things can help you move past the affair together. Find things to do that will bring you closer and help you make new memories. Consider taking a weekend trip together, picking up a new hobby as a couple, or just making an effort to spend more time running errands and doing chores together.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Commit to forgiving your spouse. Seek marital counseling. Take your share of the responsibility for problems in the relationship. Communicate often and openly. Rebuild physical intimacy. Avoid clingy behavior. Seek out positive experiences with your spouse.


Some icings, like a thin ganache, may take less time to set, but other icings, like a thick buttercream, may take longer. After 20 minutes, gently tap the outside of the cake with a clean hand to see if the frosting has hardened. If the frosting is still tacky, let the cake chill for another 5 minutes before taking it out of the refrigerator. It is easiest to apply most coatings with an offset spatula. Continue to coat the cake evenly until you reach a desired thickness of icing. Freshly applied icing will create a sticky surface for the sprinkles to adhere to.  If you are planning to roll your cake in the sprinkles, do not frost the top of the cake as you will have to hold the bottom and top of the cake to roll it.  If you want to use fondant, cover the cake with fondant as you normally would. Draw inspiration from some of the ingredients in your cake. If your cake has candied cherries in it, accent the outside with a white icing and vibrant red sprinkles. Also, note the color of your icing. Sprinkles that are a dark color may not be as noticeable against a dark chocolate icing as they would against a vanilla icing.  Pick sprinkles colors that complement seasonal and holiday cakes. Choose a mixture of orange, purple, and black sprinkles to decorate a pumpkin spice cake during the fall or around Halloween. Think about using red, pink, and white sprinkles for anniversaries or Valentine’s Day. Use nonpareils for a speckled rainbow look, or ovular jimmies for bigger splotches of color. Mix both sprinkle styles together to vary the visual texture. Use large confetti sprinkles or sugar coated chocolate sprinkles for a minimalist look or mix them with smaller sprinkles to make them stand out.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Allow the crumb-coat to chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to harden. Cover your cake with a second, thicker layer of icing. Choose sprinkles that will complement the icing and the cake flavor.

do you really want or need to spy? By listening through a wall, you are about to spy on another person and violate private conversations. This raises big legal and ethical problems. Before acting, seriously ask yourself if you want to do it. Is it worth the risk?  The situation is important. In England, for instance, a man rescued his elderly neighbor from a robbery by listening through the wall with a glass. In his situation, spying was definitely justified. Things are rarely so clear cut, however. You should probably not act if you have any doubts about the situation. If you decide to go ahead, make sure that you know the possible consequences of your actions. Eavesdropping means to overhear, record, magnify, or transmit any part of a private conversation without the consent of at least one person involved. Be aware that states have laws against eavesdropping. By spying you may well be breaking the law; you might even be violating the law by possessing a device for spying.  Your state may have a “one party consent” or “two party consent” law. One party consent means that it is illegal to eavesdrop unless you have the consent of at least one of the people engaged in a private conversation. In two party consent you must have permission from both parties to listen, record, or amplify their communication.  Take the state of Michigan. Michigan has a two party consent law – you must have permission from all parties in order to “overhear, record, amplify, or transmit any part of a private discourse.” This applies even in your own home. Eavesdropping there is also a felony. What happens if you eavesdrop and someone finds out? What could happen to you? This is a good question and you should consider all of the possible outcomes, which in many cases are severe.  In Michigan, the penalties for illegal eavesdropping are up to 2 years in prison, up to $2,000 in fines, or both. In California, eavesdropping is either a misdemeanor or felony. As a misdemeanor you face up to 364 days in jail and a $2,500 fine; as a felony, you could spend up to three years in prison and a $2,500 fine.  Of course, a criminal penalty is not the only bad outcome. You also open yourself to a civil lawsuit for violating someone’s privacy, which could be costly and run into the thousands of dollars. Even if you escape legal consequences, you could have a very angry person on your hands.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Ask yourself: Be aware of eavesdropping laws. Consider all negative consequences.


One of the best ways to help your dietitian recommend changes in your diet is by describing what you usually eat.  This will give them information they can use to advise changes, including specific additions you need to make to improve your diet. Your dietitian will be able to recommend specific additions to your diet, as well as ways of eating foods you like in a healthier way. One important topic to discuss with a dietitian is any eating preferences you have.  For instance, if you don’t eat meat, other forms of protein become especially important. Your dietitian will help you identify high quality non-meat proteins.  When selecting meat substitutes such as soy-based foods, be sure to choose options that are not too high in potassium, sodium, or phosphorus. While specific nutritional drinks for those undergoing dialysis can be helpful, only rely on these as a significant component of your diet under the guidance of a dietitian. Meanwhile, protein bars can be helpful meal replacements, but should not make up the majority of your diet. If you are on dialysis and selecting protein bars, choose those that have more than 15 grams of protein but less than 150 mg phosphorus and under 200 mg of both potassium and sodium. Depending on your overall health and nutrition, you may need to take nutritional supplements. The need to do so, as well as the type of supplement you should take, will vary depending on your diet and health.  As such, follow the guidance of your dietitian in particular. Simply ask something like, “Is there any specific nutritional supplement I should be taking considering my current nutritional levels?” Many of the questions your dietitian will ask you are meant to help them identify potential barriers that may be preventing you from getting adequate nutrition. More to the point, your dietitian will recommend different courses of action based on the specific reasons you may not be getting enough protein. Maintaining a healthy diet requires a bit of planning, especially if you are receiving dialysis treatment or have other health complications.  Even a very simple food plan can help you ensure you’re eating enough of what you need.  Aside from specific hints about what and how to eat, ask for advice regarding how to maintain healthier dietary behavior. At a minimum, develop and maintain a food plan to help make sure you eat protein with every meal. With the guidance of a dietitian, you may need to increase your caloric intake to help your body use the extra protein you’re eating. Your dietitian might even recommend using more butter while cooking, or putting more dressing on your salads. Many dairy products, including milk, contain too much potassium and phosphorus for those on dialysis who have low albumin.  As such, these are not recommended sources of fats.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Tell your dietitian about the food you enjoy. Talk to your dietitian about meat substitutes. Consider nutritional drinks and protein bars. Ask your dietitian about other nutritional supplements. Be honest with your dietitian. Develop a food plan together. Boost caloric intake with fats and sugars.


This is a slick look that is ideal for greasy hair. Use a bristle brush to brush your back into a high ponytail. Then, use a hair elastic to hold the ponytail. Mist with a hairspray to secure the style or apply gel around your hairline, if needed. Finish by smoothing the top of your hair with a brush for an ultra sleek look. This is a great option if you’re in a hurry. You can choose a sleek or messy look. For a sleek look, apply a product like gel, hairspray, or serum to tame your hair. Then, use a brush to comb your hair back and secure it into a low ponytail. Twist your hair around into a bun and secure it with bobby pins. For a messy look, simply pull your hair back with your hands, use a hair elastic to pull your hair into a messy bun, and you’re done! Begin by creating a deep part on your preferred side. Then, comb your hair down flat on both sides. Gather your hair to the side your hair is parted on and secure a low ponytail. Brush your hair once more to smooth it down and use hairspray to secure your style. Begin by parting your hair directly down the center of your head. Then, braid 1 side from your hairline to the back of your head. Repeat on the other side. Secure each side with a small hair elastic. Use your fingers to gently tease the hair at your hairline. If your hair is longer on top but shaved at the bottom, use your greasy hair as an excuse to show off your undercut. This works especially well for those who have a design shaved into their undercut, like a triangle. Just gather the loose hair into a messy bun and secure it with a hair tie. Hair clips are for anyone and everyone. You can buy a pack of basic, plastic hair clips at your local supermarket or beauty supply store. Just gather your hair, use your fingers to twist it into a know, and secure it with a clip. Or, use the clip as a ponytail holder and leave the rest of your hair down.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Put your hair up in a high ponytail. Pull your hair back into a low bun. Brush your hair into a side ponytail. Style Dutch braids. Show off your undercut. Use a hair clip.


There are certain forms you need to fill out when a baby dies during delivery. It can be painful to deal with paperwork during such a difficult time, so ask for assistance if necessary.  A birth and death certificate will need to be filled out. You will need to provide basic information, like your full name and place of birth. The Medical Certificate of Death and the birth certificate must be taken to your local register office within five days of your baby's death.  If you're having trouble filing out documents due to your emotions, ask a friend or family member for assistance. You might also want to take someone to the register office when you go to deliver the documents as this can be difficult. Parents often wonder what precisely caused the baby to die during delivery. You might want to consider asking for a post-mortem examination if you feel answers will help you cope.  Infection, complications during delivery, undetectable health conditions, and other factors can cause a baby to die during or before delivery. A post-mortem exam or autopsy may help detect these causes. Some parents find knowing more information can help them move on.  Doctors need your written consent to carry out a post-mortem examination. Many parents opt out as, even when an investigation is discovered, the cause of death sometimes still remains unknown. Understand an investigation may not yield the answers you want and factor this into the decision making process. Your body will need to recover after a stillbirth the same way it needs to recover from a typical pregnancy. You should take it easy for the first few weeks and get lots of bed rest and sleep. Your breasts will likely fill with milk. This can cause soreness and tenderness for a few days, after which the milk should disperse. You might also have spotting or bleeding for a few weeks. A warm bath and over-the-counter painkillers can help you cope with any discomfort.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Follow proper legal protocol. Consider a post-mortem examination. Take time to recover physically.


Unlike a void marriage, a voidable marriage requires court intervention to dissolve. In New York, there are only five circumstances rendering a marriage voidable. The age of consent in New York with respect to marriage is 18.  If one spouse or both spouses was below the age of 18 at the time of the marriage, and were married without parental consent, then that can render a marriage voidable. If there is some reason that at least one spouse lacked the capacity to understand the "nature, effect, and consequences of the marriage," then the marriage is voidable. Of course, there are a variety of reasons a person might permanently or temporarily lack capacity, but one of the most common situations that fits into this category is a marriage where one or both spouses are mentally handicapped. If at least one spouse is permanently physically unable to have sexual intercourse, but the other was unaware when the marriage began, that constitutes grounds for an annulment under New York law. If one or both spouses suffers from an incurable mental illness for five or more years, the marriage is rendered voidable. The action can be brought by either spouse or on behalf of either spouse.  If you are inclined to use this as grounds for an annulment, proceed with caution, because the court can award the sane spouse to financially support the mentally ill spouse. If consent was obtained through force, illegitimate pressure, or fraud, that will make the consent voidable.  Examples of fraudulent marriages would include misrepresenting a pregnancy, misrepresenting a willingness to have children, or marrying to obtain legal immigration status. In contrast to a void marriage, which is always invalid, in voidable marriages, spouses can waive by consent what would normally be grounds for an annulment. The different grounds for an annulment have different waivers.  If you seek an annulment because one of the spouses was too young to give consent, understand that if both spouses continue to live together after they turn 18, that constitutes a waiver.   If you plan to seek an annulment because of an inability to consummate the marriage, be aware that you need to initiate your case within the first five years of marriage. You will also need to show that you were unaware of this inability when the marriage started.   If you plan to seek an annulment on the basis of fraud, force, or duress, then you must bring the action within two years of your discovery of the fraud and within three years of the commission of the fraud. Furthermore, if you continue to live with your spouse after you discover the fraud, that will constitute a waiver. If the marriage was obtained by fraud, force, or duress, only the innocent party to the marriage can file for an annulment. If the issue was an inability to consent due to age, then only the underage party or their relatives can bring the action for annulment. If the issue is a lack of mental capacity, then either spouse can seek the annulment, in addition to the relative of the spouse who lacked capacity. If the issue was an inability to consummate, then either party may seek the annulment, although the incapable spouse will have to meet certain requirements in order to seek the annulment.  New York does not provide forms for procuring an annulment, and even the simplest annulment requires a trial where evidence is presented to prove the grounds for annulment. The type of proof necessary is dependent upon the grounds for obtaining the annulment, and in some cases, is extensive. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you use the services of an attorney if you wish to pursue an annulment. If you choose to initiate an action for annulment without the services of an attorney, you will first need to find a process server to serve your souse with a copy of the petition. The court requires that a third party to the action serve the documents. You can not serve them yourself. A proof of service is a document that notifies the court that your spouse has been given a copy of the annulment documents by a third person. The proof of service must be completed by the person who gives your spouse the annulment petition. The completed proof of service must be returned to the court within 120 days after you file your annulment. Your spouse has 20 days after the day he is served to file an answer with the court. After your spouse files his response, you will be served with a copy in the same way that you had your spouse served with your documents. The hearing will usually be 4 weeks or more after you file your petition for the annulment.  Research any area of annulment law specific to your marriage. Take the time to research and gather the documents related to your situation prior to the court hearing. This will make you more prepared for your court hearing. Think about who you will call as witnesses. The court may require more than just your testimony and that of your spouse, depending on the circumstances of your annulment. The court hearing may not be the only hearing necessary in your matter. If your annulment is simple, there are no children involved, and you and your spouse present all the necessary evidence to prove your annulment, then there may be no need for another hearing. However, the judge may need you or your spouse to supply him with additional information regarding the annulment. If so, he will tell you what he needs and give you another court date.  Complete any financial documents that are required for the annulment to be finalized. The court may require that you complete financial documents, especially if you and your spouse have children together. Follow all the additional instructions of the judge and bring all requested documentation to each court hearing. The more you cooperate with the judge, the faster your annulment will be approved.

If you want the music to play from the beginning of the presentation, select the first slide.  If you're using Office 2007 or 2003, click here. If you want to play multiple songs throughout a presentation, you could try to line them up by spacing them out between your slides, but you'll likely find it easier and less jarring to create a new file that combines all of the songs into one, back-to-back. See the next section for details. You can insert MP3 and WAV files.  If you want to use a song from iTunes, you'll need to convert it to MP3 first by right-clicking on the song in iTunes and selecting "Create MP3 Version". Click here for more details. WAV files can be quite large, and can make the PowerPoint presentation difficult to share. Consider converting the WAV file to MP3. You can do this by importing the WAV into iTunes, or by using a free online converter. Click here for more details. Select "Audio from My PC" from the list of options. Note: The "Online Audio" option no longer works, so if the song you want is online, you'll need to download it to your computer first. You can select any WAV or MP3 file that's stored on your computer or on any network drives. There are two basic options for setting when your music starts. You can either have the song play when you click the button or you can have the song play automatically in the background. There are two presets which allow you to quickly select one of these options:  If you want the song to start automatically and play in the background across all of your slides, select the "Play in Background" option in the Playback tab. This will set the song to start automatically, continue playing when slides are changed, loop when finished, and hide the sound button. The song will start playing immediately when that slide is opened. If you prefer to click the button to start the sound instead, select "No Style" from the Playback tab. The song will play when you click the audio button. You can change the look of the button using the Format tab. This will let you design a button or import a picture to use instead. PowerPoint includes some basic audio editing tools that allow you to change where the song starts playing from, adjust the volume, fade in and out, and more. Select the audio object to open the Playback tab if it isn't already.  Add bookmarks to the track. When you hover over the audio object, you'll see a track time slider. Select a spot on the track and click the "Add Bookmark" button to create a clickable bookmark at that point in the track. This will allow you to quickly jump to specific spots. Click the "Trim Audio" button to cut out unnecessary parts of the song. Useful for songs that are too long, or that you only need a piece of. Use the sliders in the Trim Audio window to select the new starting and ending point for the song. Use the Fade Duration options to set the fade in and fade out times. The longer the duration, the more gradual the fade will be. Use the Volume button to adjust the master volume for the song. Make sure to test the song before the presentation and adjust the volume accordingly so that you don't startle the audience. PowerPoint 2007 and newer will embed the MP3 file into your presentation file. This will allow you to share the file with others without having to worry about sending the music file along with it. Keep in mind that the size of the presentation will increase based on the size of the MP3 file. If your presentation file is under 20 MB, you can probably attach it to an email to send to others. If it's any larger, you may want to consider using a service like Dropbox or Google Drive to share it.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Open the slide you want to start the music on. Click the Insert tab. Click the "Audio" option in the "Media" group. Browse for the music file you want to play. Decide if you want the music to start automatically or play when you click. Make basic edits to the audio file. Share the presentation.


To deliver a sassy comeback, you need to be confident in who you are. Remember, a good comeback is about making yourself feel and sound good. It's not about putting others down. Don't be afraid to show off all of your positive qualities.  One of the best ways to build your confidence is to remind yourself that there are lots of things that make you great. Make a list of your good qualities. Are you good at soccer? Write it down. Are you a good listener for your friends? Put it on the list. You can use your positive attributes to help you come up with sassy comebacks. For example, if someone teases you for being a nerd, say "Yup, but all my 'nerdy' good grades are going to look fantastic on my college applications!" Finding a new way to spend your time is an excellent way to build your self-esteem. Think about how great it feels to master a new skill. You feel proud of yourself and like you can take on the world. Figure out a new club to join or a new sport to try.  Have you always felt like you might have an artistic side? Try taking a painting class. Sometimes trying new things can be intimidating. Ask a friend to go with you for moral support. You probably already know that physical activity is important to keep your body healthy. Just as important are the positive benefits that exercise can have on your mind. Reports tell us that not only does exercise reduce stress, but it's a great way to boost your self-esteem.  Try to spend at least 30 minutes each day being active. Find an activity that you enjoy, such as riding your bike or dancing. Working out is a great way to spend time with friends and family. Ask a friend to learn to play tennis with you, or ask your sister to take a walk with you after dinner. Take some time to think about what you do best. Maybe you are a good writer or maybe you are an excellent swimmer. Make a list of the things you are good at. Then reflect on whether or not you are devoting enough time to honing your skills.  When you're doing something you're good at, it's natural that it will boost your confidence and make you feel great about yourself. Set aside time each week to devote to developing your skills. If you love writing, make it a priority to journal. You can also practice by trying out new genres of short stories. Hanging out with your friends is a great way to feel good about yourself. When you're with your buddies, you're spending time with people who think you're great. They'll laugh at your jokes and join you in doing your favorite activities. To become a more confident person, spend as much time as possible with your friends.  If you're dealing with a bully, or even just an annoying person at school or work, your friends can help you. Try always eating lunch with a friend and having company for your walk or commute home. Choose friends that are positive and fun. Being around them will naturally make you feel good.

Be proud of yourself. Try a new activity. Exercise. Practice your skills. Spend time with friends.


Sometimes a pronoun is used instead of a noun. A pronoun is a replacement for a noun, such as "you", "we". "it", "he" or "she".  When using “I” or “You” in its singular form, pair it with “suggest,” such as “I suggest picking flowers,” or “You suggest it to the group.” When using “We” or “You” in the plural form, you also pair it with “suggest.” For instance, the sentence could be “We suggest a different color,” or “You (all) suggest eating out.” In fact, the only time you use the form “suggests” is with third person singular, such as in the "Sally" example above or when using “he” or “she.” The third person plural “they” uses “suggest” rather than “suggests.” A past tense verb tells your reader (or listener) that the action happened in the past, rather than right now. The past tense of “suggest” is “suggested.”  If you made a suggestion to your boss yesterday, you could say, “I suggested it to Rob yesterday, but he didn't like the idea.” Keep in mind that “suggested” is the past tense no matter whether the noun or pronoun is first, second, or third person or whether it is singular or plural. Like past tense, the future tense is all the same for “suggest.” Future tense tells your reader that the action will happen in the future. The future tense for “suggest” is “will suggest”, no matter whether you are using first person singular (“I”) or third person plural (“they”).  If your girlfriend wants to make a suggestion in a meeting tomorrow, she might say, “I will suggest that idea tomorrow.” Additionally, if you want to tell someone else what your girlfriend is going to do, you can say: "she said she will suggest that tomorrow.”

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Change the form of the word "suggest" depending on which pronoun is used. Change "suggest" to "suggested" in the past tense. Change "suggest" to "will suggest" in the future tense.


If your toddler is okay with playing with a bowl of water, try getting them to dip their feet in a sink or stand in a kiddie pool. If you’re able to work up to them being able to take a bath with you, they’ll soon be okay with taking a bath by themselves (with your supervision, of course). You can also try having your toddler help you prepare the bath by asking them to pick out the bubble bath and helping them pour it into the tub while it’s filling. It may be that taking a bath in a big bathtub comes with too many new, unknown factors. To help the toddler adjust, place them in the tub without any water in it. Give them a few bath toys to play with to help them get comfortable with the bathtub. You can leave their clothes on them in the tub at first and then remove them later on for a smoother transition. If your toddler refuses to get in the bathtub at all, it’s best to clean them another way instead of forcing them to take a bath. Dampen a sponge with some water (and soap, if desired) and sponge the toddler to clean off any dirt.  If you used soap, make sure you rinse the sponge out and remove all of the soap from their skin. If the weather is nice out, you can turn the sponge bath into an outdoor activity. See if the toddler is comfortable with showers if they don’t want to take a bath. Use a removable shower head, holding it at the toddler’s neck level to avoid getting water all over their face. You can move the shower head around their body to rinse off the soap after you’ve washed them.  You may need to get in the shower with the toddler to be able to take control of the shower head. If you don’t have a removable shower head, see if the toddler will stand in the shower next to the running water. You can use a cup or other container to collect water and pour it carefully over the toddler’s body. If your toddler is terrified of the tub, help them get clean by taking a bath with them. Having you there to support them in the tub will help your toddler feel safe and more comfortable. To make taking a bath more fun and less scary, you can both put on your swimsuits and get in the bathtub to play in the water.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Take small steps to get your toddler comfortable with a bath. Place the toddler in an empty bathtub with toys to help them adjust. Clean them using a sponge if they’re completely against baths. Help them take a shower for a different bathing experience. Take a bath with your child.


Marijuana has a distinctive odor that may be musky or skunk-like, and often slightly sweet. This smell may linger on a marijuana user's clothing, breath, skin, or hair. You might also notice it in a room where they smoke or store their smoking implements. Someone using marijuana may try to hide the scent by wearing perfume or cologne, using breath mints, or using incense or air fresheners in the room(s) where they smoke. Marijuana can be consumed in a variety of different ways. Look around for any of the following types of implements:  Rolling papers or blunt wraps Pipes (often made of glass) Bongs (or water pipes) Vape pens Grinders Long-term marijuana use can lead to a variety of mental and behavioral changes.

You can always eat in the garden if you have one. This can be very romantic if the season of the year is right, and if you have a nice, bug-free garden. You can also eat in the kitchen, but then you will have to hurry to clean everything and make it look nice. If you can, pick a location where you don't normally eat, so the night feels special. If you have a "fancy" dining table that you never use, now's the time. You may have a nice set of crystal glasses and fancy plates, napkins, and silverware that you never use because they're only for special occasions. Well, the occasion is now -- bring them out and take pleasure in how much they add to the romantic atmosphere. Flowers, rose petals, and unscented candles will do the trick - you have many options and will just have to be creative. Remember that candles are essential for a romantic dinner, so light several candles and place them on or near the table. Flowers, such as elegant roses, are almost as important. They look really good at the table, whether it's something extravagant or simple. Just keep in mind that you should be able to look at each other over the table. Playing some soft jazz or romantic music in the background can add to the romantic ambience as long as it's not too distracting. Before you start your dinner date, take a shower and put on some perfume or cologne. Dress up just like you were going out to dinner. Put on some casual, but nice clothes, and look refreshed and effortlessly attractive. Your partner will appreciate the effort, and the night will feel even more special. Just make sure you decide on a dress code with your partner before the date, so you both look equally fancy. Make a plan to avoid all distractions so that you and your date can be free to enjoy your delicious meal -- and each other's company. So, if you have kids, arrange to have a sitter watch them away from home well in advance. Other than that, turn off your phones, the television, and radio, and focus only on each other. If there's going to be a big game on that night and one or both of you is a big sports fan, you may want to reschedule your date so that you aren't distracted. Once all the distractions are put away, you can focus on having a romantic evening.

Decide on the location. Plan to use your nice dishes. Choose your romantic decorations. Dress up. Avoid all distractions.


Put the oil directly onto the bat. Avoid getting oil near any decals or the handle of the bat. Linseed oil helps moisturize and soften the fibers of the willow wood and makes the bat easier to compress.  Don’t use cooked linseed oil since that will remove moisture from the wood. Raw linseed oil can be purchased online or at hardware stores. Coat the entire flat area since it could come into contact with a cricket ball. Make sure the oil is evenly spread out and it is not pooling on any area of your bat. Rags covered in linseed oil can catalyze, meaning it can generate heat as it is drying and possibly combust. Leave rags spread out outdoors so they can dry before storing them in an airtight, fireproof container. Dispose of the rags when there is hazardous waste collection. The edges of the bat will also need to be knocked in and rounded, so it’s important to work the oil over each edge. Bring the oil 1⁄4 inch (6.4 mm) down the side of the bat with your finger and rub it into the edges. Keep your bat face-up so the oil seeps down into the wood. Let the oil soak in for a full day until it is dry. This will ensure the wood is filled with moisture and your bat will absorb a hit from a mallet rather than crack. Each time, let the oil dry for 24 hours before applying another coat.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Pour 1  tsp (4.9 mL) of raw linseed oil on the flat side of the bat. Rub the oil onto the wood with your fingers or a soft rag. Spread the oil onto the edges of your bat. Let the oil set for 24 hours. Oil the bat 2 more times.
