Make it fairly fine. Drop the shredded sprouts in for exactly two minutes - no more.  Any longer, and you will have smelly, slimy mush.  You just want to make them tender, slightly wilted, but with some snap left in them. Let them drain while you do the next step. Add 1 clove minced garlic and just heat until you can smell the garlic.  Mmmmm.  Remove from heat.  Toss the sprouts in the lemon, garlic and butter mixture, just until heated through - about one minute.

Cut off the hard bottom and slice the brussels sprouts into shreds that resemble lettuce. Boil a cup of water with a teaspoon of salt. Remove them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and then drain, or drop them into a colander to drain, and run some cold tap water over them. Melt 1/2 stick of butter. Squeeze a lemon into the butter. Add the drained brussels sprouts, salt and pepper to taste, and turn on the heat again. Remove from heat and sprinkle with some shredded or flaked Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!


Once you have dog walking clients, it often makes sense to parlay them into extra business pet sitting. You will need to check in regularly to make sure that water and food bowls are full, play with the dog, and take the dog for walks.  This will involve spending more time unattended in the person’s house, so you should be especially mindful to respect their space; do not search around or consume anything in the house.  Before choosing this route, make sure that it is cost effective. Would you be making more money walking dogs than pet sitting? Is pet sitting getting in the way of your more lucrative dog walking jobs? When pet sitting, be sure to communicate with the owners every couple of days to reassure them that their dog is doing well. You can even text a picture! Cutting nails and hair involves a different skill set than dog walking. However, if you have a good professional relationship with a lot of dog owners and a friendly relationship with the dogs, you can consider grooming. Alternatively, you can hire a groomer to work with you. Once you have a successful business with more customers than you can manage, consider bringing in some more people. Search for people who are experienced, reliable, and trustworthy. Vet all candidates thoroughly. When franchising, you should have franchise contracts that are well constructed by a professional. You should also have guidebooks that subordinates study to establish a uniform standard of care for your furry friends.

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

Begin pet sitting. Try dog grooming. Franchise.


The most important way to get an agent to represent you in the business, be it acting or music, is to get out there and start doing your craft. Agents look for talented and already established artists with a track record they'll be able to profit from, not people who may be talented but who've never done anything in the business. If you want to get an agent for acting, you need to act first. If you want to be a singer, you need to perform. Go to every open call-out for actors and take whatever work you can get. The experience may not be glamorous, but it's experience that you can use to move up in the world. If you play music, get on every open-mic, local festival, and radio show that will have you and listen to your music. Get your name out there as a reliable worker. Aside from getting as much experience working as you can, you also need to practice and perfect your skills by taking lessons, workshops, or classes related to your craft. Even if you want to be a stand-up comedian, there are craft-centered workshops in which you learn stage-timing and receive feedback from experience joke-tellers. Find a class or workshop in your area and sign up for it. If you don't enjoy the work itself, there'll be no point in getting an agent to help you get more of it. Start building a network of actors or musicians whom you trust and can use for guidance in building a career. You'll be able to use them for craft tips most importantly, but they'll also prove useful when it comes time to meeting agents. If you've got an actor friend who has scored representation from a licensed agency, you might have an "in" with that agency if you've worked together and shared resources in the past. Help out other performers, too. If you hear about an open call-out for actors, tell your actor friends rather than hiding it from them and hoping to keep it a secret so you'll get it for yourself. When a friend wins a part, celebrate. Spreading the wealth around benefits everyone and will make them more willing to help you out if you need it.

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

Work as much as you can. Perfect your craft. Talk to other performers.


Turn individual steps into hidden caches by replacing your staircase’s basic paneling with oversized slide-out drawers. Stair drawers are perfect for when you want to get everyday items out of the way but still keep them close at hand. Use your stair drawers to stash things like shoes, sporting equipment, pet supplies and household tools.  Stair drawers have gained popularity as a creative storage solution, and can be installed in homes of almost any size. Each drawer is the length and width of one step, giving you tons of bonus space that was formerly off-limits. If your stairs has a stringer (or a support stand) running through the center, don't remove it. Put drawers on either side of the stringer. If you want, you may even be able to fit a drawer or trunk into the floor of the landing. The area of the landing is usually open underneath. Build into the flat, blank wall lining a small stairwell and use it to mount sturdy shelves of various sizes. Now you’ll have a dedicated place for books, trinkets and family photos that won’t take up any additional room around your home. Have the shelves cut and arranged to your own specifications to create wall storage that matches your needs. With little difficulty, you can convert a section of the wall or an unused alcove at the top of the stairs to a convenient built-in cabinet. Integrated cabinets fulfill the same function as shelves, but give you more options in how to store and display your belongings.  Have wall cabinets designed to blend in with the area around them.  Cabinets can act as all-purpose storage or be based around a specific theme, such as preserving mementos from your wedding.

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

Upgrade to stair drawers. Put in handy wall shelving. Invest in custom cabinets.


The "armor of God" refers to a set of metaphorical spiritual armor that Christians should wear at all times to protect themselves against Satan.  The whole armor of God is described in Ephesians, 6:10-18. The passage instructs you to "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11). In essence, arming yourself with the protection and weapons offered to you by your faith in Christ, will allow you to stand strong and hold out against evil attacks of a spiritual nature. Ephesians 6:14 states, "Stand, therefore, having girded your waist with truth."  The opposite of the truth is a lie, and Satan is often referred to as the "father of lies." Arming yourself with the "belt of truth" means protecting yourself from the evils of deception by clinging to the truth. In the Bible, Jesus refuted Satan's temptations in the wilderness with truths from Scripture. You can also do this; quote Scripture to refute the lies of Satan.  To cling to the truth, you must seek the truth in all things and speak the truth to all people, including yourself. Don't let yourself be deceived about anything. The second part of Ephesians 6:14 refers to the "breastplate of righteousness."  "Righteousness" refers to the absolute righteousness of Christ, not the halfhearted and fallible righteousness of mankind. Through your faith, you must rely on the righteousness of Christ to protect your heart against spiritual attacks just as a physical breastplate would protect your heart in a physical battle. If Satan tries to tell you that you aren't righteous, quote Romans 3:22, "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe." Ephesians 6:15 instructs believers to "shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace."  The "gospel of peace" refers to the gospel or good news of salvation. Preparing your feet with the gospel of peace suggests that you will need to take this gospel as you travel into enemy territory. By stepping forward with this gospel, your soul is protected with each step. As Scripture says, "Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you." This includes spiritual protection from Satan. You are also instructed in Ephesians 6:16 that, above all, you should take "the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." Faith is an absolute essential to have when engaging in spiritual warfare. Like a shield, faith can protect you against otherwise piercing attacks launched by the enemy. When Satan tries to tell you lies about God, remember to keep your faith that God is good, and that He has good plans for you etc. As Ephesians 6:17 states, "take the helmet of salvation."  The salvation spoken of in this passage refers to the spiritual salvation Christ offers through His death and resurrection. A helmet of salvation can be interpreted as the knowledge of spiritual salvation. Just as a physical helmet protects the brain, the helmet of salvation protects the mind from spiritual attacks and false claims that would turn your mind away from God. The second half of Ephesians 6:18 instructs you to take "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."  The sword of the Spirit is directly described in the passage as the Word of God, or the Bible. To yield the sword of the Spirit, you need to have an understanding of the Bible. Your knowledge of scriptures can then be used as a rebuttal to spiritual attacks. Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." The verses regarding the whole armor of God finish with Ephesians 6:18, which states that you should be "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints."  In choosing these words to wrap up the passage on the armor of God, the Apostle Paul highlights the importance of relying on God for spiritual strength through the practice of steady and ongoing prayer. The Bible tells us to "pray without ceasing." Continually pray over every situation in your life for God's protection and help. The armor of God is a set of tools and protection that God grants believers, but it is the power of God that the believer must ultimately rely on.

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

Know what the “armor of God” is. Wear the belt of truth. Put on the breastplate of righteousness. Slip on the sandals of the gospel of peace. Grab the shield of faith. Don yourself with the helmet of salvation. Wield the sword of the Spirit. Pray in the Spirit.

If you like rules and routine, tap dancing or ballet might appeal to you. They do require a certain level of mastery, however. While you can learn basic steps from an online video, physical classes are much better. One-on-one instructions from a professional can really help you learn.

If you’ve been issued this type of government ID, you have to use it in order to register to vote. If you don’t have a Colorado driver’s license or identification card, you can still register by providing the last 4 digits of your Social Security number. Make a photocopy of this ID if you plan to vote by mail. You may be required to submit it along with your mail-in ballot. You only need to be at least 16 years old to register, but you must turn 18 by Election Day in order to vote. It’s fine if your 18th birthday falls on Election Day itself, as long as you’ll be 18 years old when you go to cast your ballot. You can register to vote at any point after you turn 16; there doesn’t have to be a specific election that you intend to vote in in order to register. by Election Day, if necessary. You have to be an American citizen in order to register to vote in Colorado. If you have birthright citizenship or you’re already naturalized, you can skip this step. You don’t need to live in any specific precinct or area; you just need to have been a Colorado resident for 22 days. Note that this 22-day period must be the period immediately before the election. For example, if an election were taking place on January 23, you would need to have lived in Colorado from January 1 to January 22. You’ll have to wait until you’re no longer incarcerated before you can register to vote. You can register if you’re currently on parole, but you won’t be able to vote until you’ve completed your sentence.  If you were previously registered and then were sentenced to incarceration for a felony conviction, you’ll have to re-register to vote. You can still register to vote if you’re only in jail for a misdemeanor sentence.

It’s simple, but smiling and being polite and kind are great ways to subtly hint that you like her. Workplaces are professional atmospheres, so livening up a bit and being friendly and outgoing could set you apart to her from the other people at work. A simple smile or joke is an appropriate form of flirting, and doesn’t cross any professional lines. If she smiles back and goes along with it, you know she’s into it. Alternatively, if she seems standoffish and shuts it down, you know to back off without any embarrassment. Try adding a joke in through a work memo email, or sending her a funny picture via webchat while you’re at work. Make a lighthearted joke about the meeting you both attended earlier in the day. You both have at least one thing in common: work. Use it as a way to start a conversation. Just avoid petty gossip about co-workers. You want to come off as a positive person, not a downer. Also, avoid any inappropriate jokes. Keep things friendly and light. If she gets assigned a big project or has to stay late, offer to stay and help. Ask her if she needs anything, or if there’s anything you can do for her. Being helpful is friendly, but also shows her that you’re interested in spending some extra time with her. If she misses a meeting or isn’t at work on a day you get new equipment or learn a new policy, bring her up to speed with some notes or a quick phone call. Again, you’ll be helping her out, but also showing her that you’re interested in her. Say something like, “I noticed you were out the other day, so I took down some notes during the meeting for you.” You’ll be letting her know you notice when she’s not around, as well. This will be like giving her a gift, but not one too garish or forward. It’s far more understated than giving her flowers, but will still show her you were thinking of her. Plus, it’ll give you a reason to go up and approach her for a conversation about something other than work. The next time you’re headed out for coffee, ask if she wants some. If she does, she’ll tell you her go-to order, and later on, you’ll know exactly what to get her. Plus, it’s yet another opportunity to express interest in her, give her a smile, and offer to do something nice while still staying professional. Public displays of affection in a workplace can make other people feel uncomfortable, and it might be a different co-worker who ends up reporting you to a supervisor. Plus, physical gestures like touching could possibly make her feel uncomfortable as well, which is the opposite of what you want.  Keep things professional, even when flirting. You can be flirtatious without touching her at all. Eye contact, smiles, and glances are just as effective as touching but don’t come with the possibility of coming off too forward or behaving inappropriately. You might also compliment her work ethic. Praise a project she did well recently. Keep things light and more on the prude side, just to be safe. Don’t make any sexual comments, or say anything that she might be offended by. These kinds of comments could lead to negative consequences like harassment suits or complaints filed against you with human resources.

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

Smile at her. Use work as a way to break the ice. Offer to help her with work projects. Bring her coffee or lunch. Keep the physical gestures to a minimum.


Talent is very charming. Not every talent will impress every girl, but no matter what talent you have it's bound to charm at least one girl. You can develop and show off a talent you already have, or you can pick up a new one.  Good talents to pick up include playing the piano or guitar, drawing, or dancing. You can find excellent primers on many of these talents right here on wikiHow! An absolute passion for life and an enjoyment of what you have tends to charm the socks off most girls. Be positive and focus on all of the great things that you have. Pursue the things that you want to have in your life. And never hide how happy you are when you are enjoying something that matters to you. You should also show some ambition. Want things for your life. Want more than what you have and work for it, while still appreciating what you do have. She'll like this quality in you. . Girls want to be with someone who encourages them and makes them feel more hopeful about what they can do and what they can have. We all do, right? When she clearly enjoys something, encourage her to pursue it or do it more. When she mentions a dream she has for the future, encourage her and help her to pursue it!  Sometimes, this might mean helping her with homework or at least keeping her company (and focused!) while she studies. Never judge her dreams or make her feel like they're small or worthless. This is the opposite of charming! Girls like to see how much you care. Being guarded with your feelings may help keep your mates from teasing you, but it mostly just makes girls feel like you don't really like them. When you show her how much you care, especially in front of your mates and other women, she'll be totally smitten.  Tell her you love her or bring her flowers when other people are around. Linger when you hug her or hold her hand. Sing a little after a kiss. These are great private communicators of feelings. on her. Look at her eyes when you talk to her. Say her name in conversations, both with her and with others. Be loyal and don't worry about attracting other girls by being flirty or dressing to the 9s. Keeping your focus 100% on her tells her that your feelings are true. Make comments to the effect of "I'm not interested in attracting any more girls. I have you". This shows that you're really just interested in her. Never assume that you are entitled to her affection, even if you're dating her. When girls feel like they have to give you their affection, like it's an obligation, then the whole thing quickly loses its romance. Work every day to earn her love and before you know it, you will. Putting others in the spotlight and highlighting the accomplishments of other people shows that you're a team player. It tells her that you're not selfish and that you could share a life with her, just like you share your happiness with others. Instead of turning conversations to be about you, talk about what other people (especially her!) are doing instead. Being kind to her is obvious, right? Of course you want to be nice to her if you want to charm her. But you should also be nice to others as well. When you're mean to other people or talk about them behind their back, she'll start to wonder if you do the same to her or how long it will be until you turn on her. That isn't very charming!   Be friendly with people who struggle socially. One good way to show how kind you are to others is to be friendly and social with those who aren't good at making friends. This is especially effective if you're popular.  Be nice to people who are usually harassed, like homeless people, waiters, or door-to-door salesmen. When you're kind to the people that almost everyone is rude to, that sends a real message.

Before you begin writing your personal history, you will want to research and find all of the necessary documents you will want to use. Although your memory will supply much of the material, documents from your past might provide further information or insights. Talk with your friends or family members about any materials that might be useful, such as pictures, government documents, or family papers. Some examples of important documents might be your birth certificate, photographs or videos of you, correspondence (letters and emails) with other people, and old social media posts. Talking to the various people in your life is another excellent way to find information to include in your history. Your family members will be particularly valuable sources since they have known you the longest. Be sure to record the interviews for later use. Many cellphones have a recording function that will help you save your interviews. Once you have conducted your interviews and gathered your materials, you will want to begin reviewing them. Read through the documents you have collected to find important pieces of information that you would like to include in your history. Listen to the recordings or read the transcripts of the interviews you conducted. Use a notebook or word processor to keep track of this information for later use. Try creating a spreadsheet that lists all of the sources that you would like to use. This will help you find them quickly and not lose them. Once you have all of your documentation, you will want to begin thinking about how you would like to organize your history. Ask yourself what events you would like to highlight and which are less important. Determine whether you would like to write about your entire life or a specific period. Answering these questions will help you get a better idea of how to organize your story.  You can organize your story thematically to emphasize important interests or life lessons. For example, if you want to highlight your skills as an athlete, you may only mention the life events that are relevant to that subject. You can also chronologically format your history to tell a sequential story. Start with the earliest relevant event and move forward in time from there. Ultimately, it is up to you how you organize your story, find a style that makes sense and tells your history. Once you have a structure for your history, you will want to begin writing it. Initially, this can be an intimidating prospect. In order to make the process of writing your personal history more manageable, try to write a little every day. If you focus on achieving small goals, over time you will finish your history.  Try setting a timer for 45 minutes and write until it goes off. Then, take a 15 minute break and start writing again once those 15 minutes are up. Repeat this process as long as you feel fresh and engaged in your writing. Find a writing schedule that works best for you. When you have finished writing your history, you will want to edit it. Initially, read it yourself to clean up any typos or errors in the writing. After you have given it a glance, find someone to edit it further. This can be anyone who you trust to do a thorough job of editing. If the story has any juicy details, it should also be someone who you feel comfortable reading it. Although you do not have to accept their edits, it is important to give them a good consideration. If you are publishing your personal history, you will have to work with an editor to get your manuscript ready for publishing. In this circumstance, the editor’s comments often need to be addressed in the manuscript.

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

Find important documents. Interview people. Review your documents. Decide on how to organize the history. Begin writing. Edit your history.


Thread your needle with matching, lightweight thread, and sew straight across your hem roughly 1/4 inch (6 mm) away from the raw edge.  After sewing this line, trim the edge so that there is only 1/8 inch (3 mm) between the thread line and the raw edge. This stitch will end up being on the bottom of your hem. It should help you maintain an even, consistent roll. Fold the raw edge toward the wrong side of the fabric and press in place using an iron.  While not entirely necessary, pressing the fold in place will make the hem less likely to unroll as you stitch. Fold the fabric so that the bend falls just past your initial row of stitching. You should see your initial stitching along the underside of the fabric but not from the front. Pick up one thread from the fabric and a small stitch from the edge of your fold. Pull the needle through, but do not pull it taut just yet.  Use a small, sharp needle for best results. Doing so will make it easier to pick up single threads along your hem. The stitch made into your fold should be as close to the actual fold as possible. Position it in between your initial line of stitching and the fold itself. The threads you pick up from the front of the actual fabric should be directly above the stitch made into your fold. These threads should also be right above the raw edge. Make sure that you only pick up one or two threads from the fabric. Picking up more will cause the hem to be more visible from the front of the fabric. Each stitch should only pick up one or two threads from the fabric, and the stitches should be spaced roughly 1/4 inch (6 mm) apart. Repeat this until you have 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of hem stitching. Lightly pull on the thread in the direction of your stitching. The raw edge should roll itself down into your hem, disappearing from sight.  Use firm pressure, but do not pull tightly. Pulling too tightly can cause the fabric to bunch up. Smooth out any bubbles or bumps with your fingers. Continue stitching along the rest of the hem in the same manner until you reach the end. Knot off the end and cut off any excess thread.  As you get better at the process, you can pull the thread after 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of stitching rather than every 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm). If completed correctly, the raw edge should be hidden along the wrong side of the fabric and the hem stitching should be barely visible from the front. The hem may already be smooth enough, but if desired, use an iron to press it further. This step completes the process.

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

Sew straight across the raw edge. Fold in the raw edge. Pick up a few threads with your sewing needle. Make a few more stitches in the same manner. Pull the thread through. Repeat along the length of the hem. Iron press when finished.

Your relationship with your mom may not feel very nurturing, so it's important to get social support from others. This may come from your dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, or other mentors in your community. If you need to talk, reach out to these people to vent about your mom or get practical advice for dealing with her passive-aggressive behavior. Become more aware of your own anger that stems from your mother's behavior. Start a daily journal practice of writing down what you're feeling. Periodically re-read your entries to look for recurring patterns and brainstorm solutions.  For instance, brainstorming solutions might include noticing that you and your mom usually bump heads whenever you're feeling tired. To fix the problem, keep those interactions short and sweet. Excuse yourself and go to your room rather than trying to reason with her when you're already exhausted. Put your journal in a safe place where your mother can't find it and read it. Some good places might be under your mattress, behind other books in a bookcase, or in your closet. Take good care of yourself by doing activities that promote wellness, like eating well and exercising.  Also, try  mindfulness meditation to learn how to sit with your anger or frustration and keep stress at bay with yoga or  deep breathing. You might also do special activities just for you, such as coloring, listening to your favorite music, or cuddling with a special someone. Work through your thoughts and feelings with a professional. A counselor can help you heal from emotional neglect and even teach useful skills like assertiveness training, so you can better interact with your mother.

The ultimate goal is to become intimately familiar with your mind and body, how it reacts to certain things and how they inter-relate. The key benefit to knowing your mind so well is that you can take one glance at something and know instantly if it's of benefit or harm. You may then let go or avoid things that are harmful. It takes time, but it gets more effective the more you practice it––you learn more each time you examine something.  In a relationship context, insight and mindfulness - as the two wings of the bird - are useful everywhere; at work, school, home and all times in between. It has clear uses in empathy - being able to understand the challenges and issues we and other people face, and then relating and acting appropriately.  In a work or business context, insight is also incredibly useful in any area requiring creative thinking as well as conflict resolution. Many of our problematic relationships between co-workers, or between boss and employees arise because we don't understand each other and the pressures both sides experience. It's these pressures and how we interact with them that limit compromise and flexibility, so by applying our insights we can find a middle ground as well as new ideas. In a mental well-being context, there comes a stage in most people's lives that the desires of our chattering mind becomes a common thread in the tapestry of life. As well, the understanding that it makes us unhappy and dissatisfied with what we have dawns upon us. Insight is important here in understanding how to let go of shallow desires by correctly identifying your true needs. As a stress relief tool, eventually what insight helps us to do is to learn what stress actually is, how to let it go of it, as well as forgive it and to become so practiced in both recognizing and letting go that you just release stress without trying. Then you are free of so many of your daily troubles. In a quality of life tool, what insight practices do eventually reveal is that every moment is absolutely unique and new, that every experience is fresh, even when we are tired, depressed and frustrated. This insight on its own rejuvenates the observation as its not like watching a TV show over and over, although it may seem like it. Its always different, perennially interesting and an opportunity to learn and understand some amazing things.F/

As part of your regular skin care routine, you should wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice each day: in the morning and before you go to bed. Remember that a gentle cleanser will be alcohol-free: alcohol can cause dryness and flaking. You should also wash your face after exercise to make sure that your sweat doesn't clog your pores or irritate your skin.  Always use lukewarm--not hot--water when you wash your face. Hot water can dry you out and cause flaking as well as irritation. Resist the urge to scrub. Use your fingertips and a gentle touch to wash your face. This will minimize irritation, dryness, and unevenness in your skin tone. Skin moisturizers help to keep you skin from appearing dry, uneven, tight, and flaky. They can also help skin appear more youthful and glowing. Moisturizing properly can also reduce pimple outbreaks. Moisturize right after you wash your face or shower to help keep your skin's natural moisture in. If you are prone to oily skin or clogged pores, look for moisturizers that are "noncomedogenic" to help keep your skin clear. Getting rid of dry, flaky skin cells will allow your skin to look more youthful and glowing.Exfoliating scrubs often use microbeads or ground fruit pits to scrub out your pores and remove dead skin. If you have skin issues such as rosacea, extremely sensitive skin, or acne, you might not want to exfoliate, however. Exfoliating scrubs can be irritating to these skin types. Hot showers can strip skin and dry it out, making it appear older and less healthy. Taking shorter, lukewarm showers will help your face stay healthy as well as the rest of the skin on your body. Using an SPF 30 sunscreen daily will help prevent skin damage such as fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. The sun can also aggravate acne, so you want to protect your skin. Reapply every few hours if necessary, especially if you are sweating or swimming. If your pores clog easily, try to find a sunscreen that has "noncomedogenic" on the label. That means that it is not oil-based and is less likely to clog your pores. Anti-wrinkle creams do not eliminate wrinkles, but they can sometimes mask their appearance to make skin look smoother and younger. You should keep your expectations for anti-wrinkle creams low, but they might help your skin look healthier temporarily. Look for ingredients such as retinol, tea extracts, niacinamide, and Vitamin C. These ingredients may help improve skin elasticity and remove damaged skin cells. Touching your face can spread bacteria and skin oils. These can lead to breakouts, infections, or scarring. If you want clean, clear, and glowing skin, you cannot touch or rub your face. It might be tempting to get rid of pimples through popping them. However, this can simply lead to more acne outbreaks, and you also increase your risk of scarring. You will have to be patient and let the pimples clear up on their own. Your skin will be healthier--and will look better--in the long run.

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

Wash your face every morning, evening, and after exercise. Moisturize every day. Exfoliate once or twice a week. Take shorter, cooler showers. Use sunscreen daily. Use an anti-wrinkle cream. Do not touch your face. Never pop a pimple.


You can choose cutting boards made from wood, bamboo, or plastic. Plastic is lightweight and easy to store, but it can be difficult to clean. You'll need to discard any plastic cutting boards that develop knife scars or ridges. Wood cutting boards have natural antiseptic properties that can help keep them clean. You can also use bamboo, but since it's harder than wood, it may dull your knives faster.  Avoid chopping on metal, glass, or stone cutting boards. These can dull your knives. Consider getting two cutting boards. Use one to chop vegetables or fruit and use the other to chop meat. Most knife sets include a variety of knives that you'll use for different kitchen jobs. To chop, you'll usually want to use an 8 to 10-inch (20 to 25 cm) chef's knife. It has a slight curve, so you can rock the knife back and forth as you quickly chop. The knife should feel a little heavy and balanced when you hold it.  Don't chop food with small knives (like paring knives) since the knife could become stuck in the food or you may cut yourself. Avoid using it for small jobs, like peeling food or cutting bread. Professional chefs sharpen their blades every day because they use them so often. Be in the habit of sharpening your knife blade using a sharpening stone since dull knives are more likely to slip while you're using them. This can increase your risk of cutting yourself. If you don't feel comfortable sharpening your own knives, you can send your knives away to a professional sharpening service. If the knife blade has been bent off center because of frequent use, you can also use a honing steel to push the blade back into balance.

Choose a cutting board. Use the right knife for the job. Keep the knife sharp.


Make a list of several multiples for each denominator in the equation. Each list should consist of the denominator numeral multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.  Example: 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5  Multiples of 2: 2 * 1 = 2; 2 * 2 = 4; 2 * 3 = 6; 2 * 4 = 8; 2 * 5 = 10; 2 * 6 = 12; 2 * 7 = 14; etc.  Multiples of 3: 3 * 1 = 3; 3 * 2 = 6; 3 *3 = 9; 3 * 4 = 12; 3 * 5 = 15; 3 * 6 = 18; 3 * 7 = 21; etc.  Multiples of 5: 5 * 1 = 5; 5 * 2 = 10; 5 * 3 = 15; 5 * 4 = 20; 5 * 5 = 25; 5 * 6 = 30; 5 * 7 = 35; etc. Scan through each list and mark any multiples that are shared by all of the original denominators. After identifying the common multiples, identify the lowest multiple common to all the denominators.  Note that if no common multiple exists at this point, you may need to continue writing out multiples until you eventually come across a shared multiple. This method is easier to use when small numbers are present in the denominator. In this example, the denominators only share one multiple and it is 30: 2 * 15 = 30; 3 * 10 = 30; 5 * 6 = 30  The LCD = 30 In order to change each fraction in the equation so that it remains true to the original equation, you will need to multiply each numerator (the top of the fraction) and denominator by the same factor used to multiply the corresponding denominator when reaching the LCD.  Example: (15/15) * (1/2); (10/10) * (1/3); (6/6) * (1/5) New equation: 15/30 + 10/30 + 6/30 After finding the LCD and changing the fractions accordingly, you should be able to solve the problem without further difficulty. Remember to simplify the fraction at the end. Example: 15/30 + 10/30 + 6/30 = 31/30 = 1 1/30

List the multiples of each denominator. Identify the lowest common multiple. Rewrite the original equation. Solve the rewritten problem.


If you have food clogging up your cupboards that you are not going to eat, there is an alternative to just tossing it in the trash. Donating food to local charities, such as food banks and soup kitchens, is a great way to make sure nothing goes to waste. If you decide to do this, the first thing to do is determine what kind of food is suitable for you to donate.  Generally non-perishable food, such as tinned vegetables, soups, fish and meat are all appropriate. Low-sugar cereal, tubs of peanut butter, raisins, and juice boxes are also very welcome. Avoid donating food in glass jars or containers. These may not be accepted because of the risk of them breaking.  Remember you can also ask friends and family to see if they want anything too. Once you have an idea of what foods you have that may be suitable to donate, you need to look up some local charities. Search for food banks and food drives in your area, and call up to ask how to donate. You can search for your local food banks by using the online search tool of national hunger charities.  There are special apps that help businesses to donate unwanted food.  As an individual, it is best to work with an established charity, either local or national. Carefully pack up your food and then take your packages to your local food bank to deliver them to the staff and volunteers there. They will be happy to see you and accept your donation providing everything is packed well and you have not added in anything that is not an appropriate donation. While you're at the food drive you could find out a little more about the work they do. Often they will be looking for new volunteers to help organise and distribute the donations.  If you have some spare time, why not get involved with the charity and volunteer with them. There are normally a range of volunteering opportunities available. You can also donate excess food to charity if you run a restaurant. Contact a local charity with details about the food you wish to donate, and they will send a truck or van to come and collect from the restaurant. These schemes may also enable you to donate perishable and prepared foods, which will then be frozen or delivered immediately to a local shelter. You can find a list of organisations that perform this service on the US Department of Agriculture's website: http://www.usda.gov/oce/foodwaste/resources/donations.htm You can also donate excess food from a grocery store or food wholesalers. The process is similar to that for restaurants and hotels. You will need to contact a local organisation and give them details on the excess food you would like to donate. The organisation will then arrange to pick up the food directly from you.  You could become a corporate partner of a local or national food charity if you are an organisation that frequently has food waste. Being a corporate partner enables you to make a regular arrangement for donations and may offer your business tax benefits.

You may have tried to cover up pimples with layer after layer of foundation, concealer, and powder. Unfortunately, this strategy can actually make the blemish more visible.  Instead, think about light-diffusing makeup, which will make your whole face look more luminous and will distract attention from pimples or other imperfections. For pimples that are begging for concealer, use a concealer brush to dab just a tiny bit right on top of the pimple, then set with powder. Remember what you learned in art class — colors opposite each other on the color wheel can balance each other out. Today, this same logic has been applied to skincare products. The newest products will make you look balanced, not like an extra on Star Trek.  If you’re worried about a sallow complexion, look for purple-tinted primers. If redness is a problem, try a green-tinted product. These days, many makeup products pack a wallop in the skincare department, too. Find the product that addresses your particular issue.  Acne sufferers will find products that contain skin-clearing salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and other compounds. Mineral makeup contains zinc oxide to treat acne and will sit on top of pores rather than clogging them. You’ll also find products geared toward treating uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. If you’re applying makeup with dirty hands and/or brushes, you risk making acne and other conditions worse.   Wash your hands before applying makeup (and touching your face in general).  Wash your brushes every two weeks to avoid oil and bacteria buildup. There are a number of products on the market just for this purpose, but soap and water will also do. Your makeup becomes bacteria-ridden, too, so replace it every six months (three months for mascara). If you’re wearing makeup every day, your skin doesn’t have a chance to breathe. Take a break so you don’t get caught in a cycle where you keep needing even more makeup!

Aim to diffuse rather than cover. Think about the color wheel. Don’t just cover up your problems—treat them at the same time. Don’t exacerbate the situation while you’re trying to cover it up. Give yourself a day off.


Whereas the heart rate is simply the number of times your heart beats in a minute, the stroke volume is the volume of blood pumped out by your heart's left ventricle with each beat. It is measured in millilitres and is much more complicated to determine that your heart rate. A special test called an echocardiogram (aka echo) is used to determine your heart’s stroke volume.  An echocardiogram uses radio waves to create a picture of your heart so the volume of blood passing through it can be measured.  An echocardiogram makes it possible to make the measurements of the heart that are required to calculate stroke volume. Using the echocardiogram, you will be able to determine the numbers needed for the following calculations. The left ventricle outflow tract is the portion of your heart through which blood passes to enter your arteries. In order to calculate the stroke volume you will need to determine the area the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), and the velocity time integral of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT VTI).  These calculations need to be done by a professional reading an echocardiogram. An expert may use the following equation to determine the area of the left ventricle’s outflow tract: Area = 3.14 (LVOT diameter/2)^2  This way of calculating the area is now beginning to be superseded by more advanced imaging technology. To determine stroke volume, the amount of the blood in a ventricle just before a beat (end-diastolic volume, EDV) is subtracted from the amount of the blood in a ventricle (heart chamber) at the end of a beat (end-systolic volume, ESV). Stroke Volume = EDV – ESV. While stroke volume usually refers to the left ventricle, it can also refer to the right ventricle. The stroke volume of both ventricles is usually equal. To determine your stroke volume index, take the velocity time integral, which is the amount of blood being pumped with each heartbeat and divide it by the body surface area of the left ventricle (in square meters). This formula allows direct analysis of the stroke volume for a patient of any size. Finally, to determine your cardiac output, multiply your heart rate by your stroke volume. This is a relatively simple calculation which identifies the amount of blood your heart pumps in one minute. The formula is Heart Rate x Stroke Volume = Cardiac Output. For example, if your heart rate is 60 bpm and your stroke value is 70 ml, the equation looks like this: 60 bpm x 70 ml = 4200 ml/min or 4.2 liters (1.1 US gal) a minute.

Come up with as many ideas for articles, features, stories, and sections as possible. Aim for thirty to forty ideas, but come up with at least twenty articles. You may only use a couple of these in your first volume, but this will give you plenty of material for future issues. If you cannot come up with at least twenty ideas, you may want to refine your theme or topic. Some ideas include:  Top ten lists Product reviews Interviews Photo galleries News blurbs Making a magazine by yourself can be difficult. You can divide the workload by forming an editorial team that handles different parts of the magazine. You can ask friends or family members to help out. You can also advertise on a job board or through a local newspaper. Positions you can fill include:   Editor-in-chief: the head of the entire magazine.The editor-in-chief approves each issue, comes up with issue ideas, and manages the business side of the magazine. You may want this position for yourself.  Features editor: person in charge of the major story (or feature) of each issue. They come up with ideas, assign stories, and design the layout of the feature article.   Copy editor: the person who edits and proofreads all of your articles.  Art director: person in charge of all art and media for each issue.  Production manager: person who oversees the publication and printing of each issue. It may be difficult to write all of the content yourself. Place a call for papers for your new magazine on social media, blogs, and in newspapers. You can also go to local writing conferences or post notices in coffee shops. Writers may contribute their own ideas based on the theme, or you can assign them a topic from your list of article ideas.  If you cannot pay your writers, be sure to advertise your magazine as an amateur magazine. If you can pay your writers, place the rate in your advertisement. Professional magazines typically pay about three cents per word. Make sure that your articles are of varying lengths. If this is your first magazine, you may want to start small with a short magazine of five to ten articles. Try having a variety of articles with one long article and several smaller snippets. Magazines usually have plenty of visuals. These should be high resolution images that relate directly to the content that you provide. You can hire a photographer to scope out local events. You could also find a graphic designer to produce digital art. You could include cartoons, portraits, caricatures, or diagrams.  You can hire freelancers by advertising on online job boards. You can also hire a design agency for your art. In addition to paying artists, you can buy stock photographs on the internet. Be careful, however, about lifting pictures from the internet without paying. You can be sued for copyright infringement if you do not have permission to use them. Decide how you want to arrange your text and images. You may choose to have a clean, white space for your articles, or you may fill the space with images. If you will be placing ads in your magazine, decide where you want them to go and how big they will be.  Certain computer programs can help you design your layout, such as Adobe, Quark Xpress, Adobe PageMaker, Corel Ventura and Adobe FrameMaker.  Alternatively, you can hire a professional designer. Put fun colors and eye-catching pictures on the front cover. You can use an image from your main article or use a more general image that conveys the theme of your magazine. Place plenty of bold headlines to grab your readers’ attention.  Use a legible font in big letters for your title. You may want to use a contrasting font for the smaller headlines.  Choose a cover image that reflects the content of the issue.

You don't need a tester to see your battery is dead most of the time. When you turn the key or press the start button, you won't get any cranking at all from your engine. Your headlights also won't come on, or if they do, they will be very weak. If your battery is almost dead, the car may crank some but won't actually start. While that's not always the battery, typically it is. Turning the car off before testing the battery is safer and will make the process easier for you. If you're not sure where your battery is, check your owner's manual. Lift the hood and look for a black rectangular box marked with positive (red) and negative (black) terminals. Your battery may be covered with a plastic hood. If it is, refer to your owner's manual. You'll likely need to unscrew a few screws to take it off. Put either device on DC voltage if it's digital. Place the end of the black probe on the negative terminal and the end of the red probe on the positive terminal. Watch the readout on the multimeter. You should be looking at volts on your reader.  If your battery is reading at or above 12.45 volts, your battery is still in good shape, and any problems you may be having are likely caused by something else. If your battery is reading below that, it won't consistently start your car, and you'll likely need to get a new one. A car battery tester will do the same job. All you need to do is place the black clip on the negative terminal and the red clip on the positive terminal. Most auto parts stores will come outside and test your battery for you to see if it's dead. They have a vested interest in doing this because they want you to buy a battery from them!  Most auto parts stores will even put in a new battery for you if you don't know how to do it. If your battery is dead, you can jump it or charge it to get to the store.

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

Look for signs your battery is dead when you start the car. Turn the car off and pop the hood so you can access the battery. Use a multimeter or voltmeter to check your battery. Check your battery at an auto parts store if you don't have a multimeter.


Certain types of drugs (most notably cocaine and the THC from marijuana) build up in the body’s fat cells. So, reducing your body’s fat will also reduce drug levels.  One of the best ways to burn fat is through sweating, and aerobic exercises tend to make you sweat a lot. As you burn fat and sweat, you’ll help remove drug residue from your body. Aerobic and other sweat-inducing exercises include.  Biking or hiking. Running or jogging. Jumping rope. While it doesn’t require any physical activity, sitting in a hot, steamy sauna is a great way to cause your body to sweat. This will flush out drug metabolites. Saunas can be found in community centers or gyms, often next to the pool. Other ways to increase your sweating and flush drug toxins out of your skin and fat cells include:  Participating in hot yoga. Sunbathing. Be aware that sweating in a sauna may only flush out a small amount of metabolites. Also, avoid saunas if you’ve recently been binging on drugs, as the sauna’s heat could be dangerous. When you’re drawing the water for a bath, pour the Epsom salts into the bathwater. Soak in the salty water for at least 15-20 minutes. The salts will open your pores, which will allow toxins to be pulled out of your body. You can purchase Epsom salts at any supermarket or health-food store. Epsom salt also contains magnesium, which is an important mineral that can help your body remove toxins (including chemicals leftover from drug use).

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

Perform aerobic exercises to burn off fat. Spend 20-30 minutes in a sauna daily to sweat out drugs. Add 2 cups (400 grams) of Epsom salts to your bath water.


Netiquette is a term that basically refers to acting politely on the internet. The need for good netiquette has arisen as anonymous posting online has led to increases in abuse and unfriendly behavior. By practicing good netiquette, you help build the online community and contribute to a more productive atmosphere. Ask yourself if you would say the same things if you were face to face with the person. Just because you are in an anonymous setting doesn’t mean you should act as if there are no consequences to your words. Netiquette is a relative idea depending on where you are and who you are interacting with. If you are chatting with friends, you will probably have different levels of what is acceptable. Everyone will be able to see when you enter a chat room, so greet everyone with a friendly hello. If you join and stay silent, others may distrust you. The purpose of chat rooms is to engage with others, so make sure that you are contributing. It is also polite, especially if you are actively participating in conversations, to say goodbye when you are leaving the chatroom. Other users will remember this and be more likely to be friendly towards you the next time that they see you. This is perceived as shouting by other readers, and is difficult to read. Save capitals for extreme emphasis, and don’t use them in every sentence. This is especially important in chat rooms with a lot of random people. Flooding means sending messages to the chat room one after the other in rapid succession. This keeps others from being able to start conversations, and you will be seen as a chat hog. Flooding a channel will most likely get you kicked. There are chat rooms for almost every interest in the world. This means that you are rebound to come across rooms that discuss or support topics you disagree with. Instead of attacking the members of that chat group, consider moving on to a new community. While good arguments are essential and important, especially for controversial topics, there is no point in trying to convince everyone to see things your way. There are a variety of common phrases and expressions that have been shortened for use in chats. These include classics such as LOL (laughing out loud), BRB (be right back), AFK (away from keyboard), AFAIK (as far as I know).  Beyond these, each community may have its own shorthand that they have developed.  Always be sure that you know what the acronym means before you use it. Many reference bad language that could cause a reaction that you don’t want. Make sure that your usage is appropriate for the situation. No one wants to read an “LOL” after saying that their friend is sick. In most casual chat situations, grammar is one of the least important things you have to worry about. If you are dealing with an academic or professional chat however, you will want to take the extra few seconds to ensure that what you type reads well and is error-free. Base your grammar usage on the community around you. If you are constantly writing immaculate sentences but everyone else in the chatroom is using shorthand and doesn’t care about spelling, you may be singled out. Conversely, if everyone is typing thoughtfully, you will stick out if you don’t attempt to match the style.

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

Understand the need for netiquette. Remember that behind every name is a person. Say hello when you enter a chat. Don’t chat in all capital letters. Don’t flood the chat. Don’t harass others. Learn internet shorthand and use it appropriately. Use grammar appropriate for the situation.

After your visit to the allergist, you will probably be aware of what substance or substances cause allergic reactions. With this knowledge, you should do all you can to avoid your allergen. Sometimes this is simple, like if you are allergic to a certain food. Other times, like if your family pet is causing allergies, this isn't so easy. Since in theory anything can cause an allergy, there is no one rule on how to avoid triggers. But there are a few prominent allergy types that have standard avoidance procedures. If you are allergic to a specific food, check all food labels to ensure that your allergen isn't in a food you're buying. Sometimes common ingredients aren't listed on labels, so talk with your allergist or even a dietician if you are at all unsure of something. Always inform staff at a restaurant of your allergy to avoid cross-contamination. If you are allergic to dust, remove carpeting, especially where you sleep. Clean your house regularly with a vacuum, and wear a dust mask while doing so. Use mite-proof sheets and pillow covers and wash all of your bedding regularly with hot water. If you have an animal allergy, you don't have to get rid of your family pets. You will, however, have to restrict their movements. Keep animals out of your sleeping area and any rooms you spend a lot of time in. It would also help to remove carpeting to avoid dander buildup. Also bathe your animals once a week to remove as much excess hair as possible. If you have an insect allergy, don't walk in grass barefoot and wear long sleeves and pants when working outside. Also cover any food that is outside to avoid attracting insects. Make sure every doctor you visit is aware of your allergy. Ask about alternatives for medications you are allergic to. Also be sure to wear an emergency medical bracelet to let any emergency medical staff know that you are allergic to certain drugs. You should take your EpiPen with you every time you go somewhere your allergen could be present. Having it handy could save your life if you experience a reaction away from home. Your allergist may recommend one or more medications to treat your allergy symptoms. These can range from OTC antihistamines to prescription corticosteroids. Whatever medications your allergist recommends, be sure to take them on schedule as he prescribes. This will help control your allergy symptoms and lessen your chances of a severe reaction. Some allergens can be treated with allergy shots, or immunotherapy. The process entails gradually desensitizing your body to the allergen by injecting small doses of it. Usually shots are given every week for a few months, and then gradually scaled back. Shots are typically given for allergens like dust, pollen, and insect venom. Ask your allergist if this is an option for you.

Designate a moment for yourself to refocus by inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. Turn your thoughts away from external criticism and back toward yourself. Close your eyes, and focus on breathing slowly and steadily until you feel less overwhelmed.  To keep your mind on your breathing, try inhaling for a count of three, holding your breath for a count of two, and exhaling for a count of three. Repeat as necessary. You may also want to find a place to sit down or rest your body for a minute while you refocus. Take a moment to think critically about what the person said. Is there any truth to it? Is there a reason, such as previous conflict, why this person might want to try to intentionally hurt your feelings?  For those parts of the insult you find to be true, acknowledge that it is ok to be imperfect. Know that all people have flaws, and it is acceptable to evaluate and work on them. For those parts of the insult that you don’t find true, remind yourself that they are not factual and do not reflect you. Tell yourself a personal truth to counteract the insult. If, for example, someone says, “You’re stupid,” remind yourself of work or academic accomplishments such as graduating at the top of your class or getting a coveted promotion. It can be tempting to match insult for insult. Ultimately, though, whatever your goal is, be it to get through a presentation or simply to keep enjoying time with friends or family, it is best served by refusing to engage whomever insulted you.  Remind yourself that it ultimately does no good for you to insult someone in return. Tell yourself, “The best way to upset this person is not to insult them in return, but to let them know their words have no impact on me.” Try to beat them with kindness. Returning kindness for insults would make them realise their mistakes sometimes. Do not be afraid to excuse yourself momentarily, or otherwise pause and calm yourself to regain composure. It is normal to have a negative reaction to an insult, and those around you will understand if you need a moment to collect yourself.  Take a moment to practice deep breathing, or repeat a positive quote or mantra to yourself. Allow yourself as much time as you need to healthfully work through tears or feelings of anger. Avoid exploding emotionally, and instead give yourself time enough to calm your immediate feelings. Laughter causes the release of endorphins, a group of hormones that can stimulate happy or euphoric sensations. Take a moment to laugh at yourself, and allow the endorphins to replace that sense of panic with better feelings.  Remind yourself that no one is immune from insults or criticism. Even if you are not laughing at the insult, find some personal imperfection and allow yourself to laugh about it. Try a “fake it ‘til you make it” approach. Even if it doesn’t seem funny, laugh at yourself in difficult moments. With time, it will get more sincere.

. Take images for 3D viewing by taking one image and then moving 3-4" to the left or right and taking another one. If your pictures are digital, just open them up in the software. If your pictures are hard copies, transfer them to a computer using a scanner, or drop them off at a photo developing store and ask for digital files (any file type will work). After downloading the images into your computer, you will probably want to rename them to more easily recognize them when bringing them into Photoshop. Develop a naming scheme for your workflow, and stick with it. For example, left camera eye image file names could contain the letter "L", and right eye image file names could similarly carry an "R". As you're going along, you'll want to be able to see the images in 3D to see how they're coming along. You can buy or make 3D glasses. . Create template files or Photoshop actions that you can use over and over whenever you want to create a new 3D image. This will make the process more efficient.

Search online for classes offered by your community center or find an acting studios in your area. If you have no background in acting, this is a great way to meet other actors and actresses and learn the basics. Call the studio to see when the next class cycle starts and determine if it’s in your budget.  A good studio will show you the basics first. Any studio or teacher who boasts, or worse, promises, they can make you a “star.” should be avoided.  It may take years to develop and hone your acting skills, so don’t get discouraged if you aren’t a natural. Consider becoming an actress and focusing less on being famous. If your secondary education option offers it, drama is a good way to begin acting early on. Acting requires you to understand complex scripts, memorize hundreds of lines, and have the ability to perform in front of an audience. Taking drama in high school, for example, will give you an introduction into many of these key acting areas. Make sure to audition or register, depending on what’s required.  Famous Actresses can be stars of stage or screen. Voice only work is common too such as radio or movie voiceover rolls.  Taking drama in school can improve interpersonal skills, as well as, mental, physical, and emotional development. Stage and screen acting are in very different environments. Stage acting is a performance in front of a live audience. You'll be given time to rehearse and learn lines more so than on film or in a television show. You’ll learn stage acting in high school drama, but some of these skills also translate to the screen.  Other differences include the ability to vocalize. Acting for television and film, utilizes microphones that are able to pick up minute sounds, while you need to resonate vocally on stage. Costume changes often have to occur much quicker with stage acting. When looking for colleges or universities to attend, consider selecting an acting school. Some of the best schools for drama and the performing arts include The Juilliard School, Yale School of Drama, Carnegie Mellon University, and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.  Many of the top drama schools require an audition in order to be admitted. Try building a strong portfolio and take all the roles you can get while you're in high school to increase your odds of getting into a performing arts college. The competition for admission is often very fierce and includes filing a lot of paperwork. Don’t shy away from a role if a producer or director thinks you’re a fit for it. If your high-school drama teacher wants you to be the lead role in the play, take the opportunity. In order to build your skills and develop your talent, you need to actively perform in front of an audience.  You may have to perform in unpaid roles until you’re paid as a professional actress. Try to take roles that challenge you and will give you a greater diversity of skill. Roles may require you to be in physically good shape to execute certain maneuvers or fit a certain image for production. Stage acting also takes physical prowess and endurance in order to continue vocalizing lines and doing actions on stage. By maintaining good physical health, you'll prevent casting directors from dismissing you because of the shape you're in.  You obviously don't have to be a size 0, but you need to stay healthy and be able of adapt your appearance. Getting sick may also halt production if you've been cast in a critical role. Make sure to take vitamins and maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Make sure to get enough sleep. While it’s not necessary to learn how to dance, sing, or play an instrument in order to act, these skills will make broaden your range and make you more appealing to casting directors. See if you can take an extra class at a community center or get a special tutor to teach you these skills. Horse riding, archery, gymnastics, diving, martial arts, conjuring, juggling and circus skills are all performance skills that may increase your ability to become a famous actress.  Anna Kendrick, Kristen Bell, and Emmy Rossum can sing, dance and act.  If you want to become a famous musical star, then singing and dancing are usually a necessary talents to have. A great way to see your own progress is by taping yourself everyday to see how your acting skills are developing. Once you’re done with your scene each day, go over the tape and write notes on things that you can do to improve. Practice audition scripts at home, and get friends who act to help you.  Choose scripts in a genre that you find specifically challenging like comedy, romance, or drama, and practice them to hone your versatility. You can also do voice or movement specific exercises to improve specific aspects of your acting ability.

It's possible that your door will require a header of a different height. The height of your header is determined by whether or not you need a new soleplate. If the floor covering above the subfloor is minimal, the split-stud brackets can be secured directly to the floor.  To determine the header height for most standard kits, figure the length of the new door, plus 3 1/4" and the height of the soleplate, if any. Once the appropriate length is determined, install a new stud this length from the existing stud on the opposing side. Nail the new header in place (or screw) and then cut and fit the soleplate to the floor.   To adjust the header, use a reciprocating saw to remove the partition header currently in place. Then, cut away the studs, just like in the above, to make space for the framing. Cut the nails that are between the studs and the soleplate and then determine the height of your desired header before cutting the stud tops to length. Otherwise, you may end up with a frame that is not to size.

The "anchor" element  defines a place on the page that you can link to. Anything inside the  and  tags, typically text or an image, can be the destination of the link. Although it is valid HTML to leave the anchor element empty, some browsers will fail to find it if there's nothing between the  and  tags. Simply type in the text you would like to link to:  My Lasagna Recipe The a tag does not typically change the style of the text. In this example, "My Lasagna Recipe" will appear as ordinary text. The id attribute gives the anchor a unique identifier so you can link to it. Place it inside the  tag as follows: My Lasagna Recipe The example above used "anchor-name-1," but it's best to give your anchors a descriptive value, such as "lasagna" in this case. This value must be unique to this id. If another id in the same document has the same value, the browser cannot identify the single anchor you're trying to link to.  In HTML4, the value must begin with a letter. Can use letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, colons, and periods.  In HTML5, you can use any character except for spaces.  Be careful with your cases. "Polish" and "polish" are considered the same value, and should not appear in the same document. You don't need to use the  tag every time you want to create an anchor. The id attribute can actually go into any HTML element. All modern browsers (going back quite a while) should be able to interpret this. Here are a few examples:  Anchor in a header:
Bibliography
 Anchor in an image:  Anchor in a paragraph:
(introductory paragraph)
 Remember that each id can only appear once per page.

Create an anchor element. Place something inside the anchor element. Add an id attribute to your anchor element. Choose a value for your id. Insert id into any element instead.


If this is your first time making a body sugaring paste, don’t use your nicest saucepan. This process can be a bit tricky, and it’s not uncommon to burn the paste, which is a nightmare to get off the pan. For safe measure, use a pan that you could stand to lose. As you heat your mixture it will boil and bubble up, so make sure your saucepan is big enough that it doesn’t overflow. This is the simple white sugar that you probably have around the house, or can find at any grocery store. It’s important to use white sugar for this recipe. Color changes are the main indicator used to determine if your paste is finished, so white sugar should be the base of your paste. If you want to make a smaller recipe, simply halve all of the ingredients. However, body sugaring paste can easily be put into a container and saved, so don’t worry if you create way more than you need for one session. You can squeeze the juice from fresh lemons or buy lemon juice from the store, as long as you get a full fourth of a cup. Pour it into the cane sugar, and then add a quarter cup of water. Using a spatula or large spoon, mix the three ingredients together until thoroughly blended.

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

Grab a saucepan. Pour in two cups of white cane sugar. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup water.


There are many options of insecticide to pick from and the choices may seem daunting. Be careful in choosing as some may be harmful to beneficial insects.  Botanical Bt (Bacillus Thuringiensis) is an organic insecticide that acts as a stomach poison and will not harm other plants or animals. Bt also kills cabbage worms, cabbage loopers, cutworms, and other harmful caterpillars. Pyrethrins are derived from the Chrysanthemum flower and are used to control fleas, flies, moths, ants and other pests. These organic insecticides are safer for human consumption than other inorganic compounds.  Spinosad is a natural substance made by soil bacterium.  This insecticide is effective on tomato worms and pests such as spiders mites, mosquitoes, and ants. There is no right or wrong choice when picking a dust or spray. The size of your infestation and garden are the biggest factors in choosing.  Dusts tend to last longer, provide a better coat, and do not require mixing before application. However, they can be harder to apply and drift to other plants in the wind. Sprays are mostly concentrated or in powder form and require you to mix them with water before use. Once this is done they can be spread quickly over a large area. Each insecticide is different and may require a specific way to apply it.  The most important thing to remember is to read the package of the insecticide you choose for any warnings and environmental factors when applying. With any chemical-based product, test a small section of the plant for sensitivity and wait 24 hours before covering the full area.

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

Decide on the type of insecticide. Decide on a spray or dust. Apply the insecticide to your plants.

Your first step in determining whether your loved one had life insurance is to gather all documents related to their death.  For example, get a copy of their will, if they had one, and death certificate. Some people put information about life insurance policies in their wills. These documents may also help with your search for more information.  Often a court will decide the validity of a will and supervise the distribution of a deceased person's assets. This is called "probating." If your loved one’s estate has been probated, you can look at the probate records to see if the life insurance policy came up as an asset. If you have access to your loved one's financial papers, look through them for evidence of a life insurance policy. Pay close attention to any paperwork related to insurance. It is possible that you can find a life insurance policy bundled with other policies you already know about. Many people bundle life insurance with car or home insurance. Look for evidence that your loved one made premium payments. Look at bill payments, cancelled checks, and bank statements for any sign of insurance payments. Also check credit card statements for the past several years. Some policy holders will pay premiums with credit. Many people keep important documents in a safe deposit box, in case of burglary or fires. If your loved one had a safe deposit box, check it for any important financial documents.

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

Gather important documents. Look through financial papers. Search checking accounts for payments. Check any safe deposit boxes.


If you are giving the injection through the patient’s inner forearm, then position their arm with their palm facing up. Their arm should be relaxed with their elbow flexed. Using a firm, circular motion, wipe the injection site with the antiseptic or alcohol swab. Let the injection site dry completely before proceeding.  By allowing the skin to dry completely before inserting the needle, you can prevent alcohol and other pathogens from entering the skin when the needle is inserted. Since intradermal injections do not involve the penetration of major blood vessels, you do not need to aspirate the syringe. Use your non-dominant hand to do this. Place your thumb below the injection site and your middle finger above it. Use these fingers to gently pull the skin taut to ensure easy penetration of the needle. Try to avoid moving the skin to the side or drawing the skin too far back. Use your dominant hand to hold the syringe parallel to the patient’s arm. The bevel should be facing up. Slightly angle the needle so that it is at a 5 to 15 degree angle relative to the skin. Make sure to place your fingers and thumb on the sides of the barrel. If they are underneath the barrel, this can cause the angle of insertion to go beyond 15 degrees. Slowly insert the needle into the patient’s skin until it is ¼ inch (6.35 mm) in, or the entire bevel is under the skin. Once the syringe is in place, remove your non-dominant hand to release the tension surrounding the injection site. Use this hand to push the plunger in to administer the medication. Do this as you are administering the medication. A weal or bleb is an area of the skin that is raised like a blister or bubble. The presence of a weal indicates that the medicine has been administered into the dermis properly. If a weal or bleb does not form, then remove the needle and repeat the procedure on another site. Do this once all of the medication has been administered. Slowly remove the needle at an angle that is the same as the insertion angle. This will help minimize damage to the tissues at the injection site and discomfort to the patient.

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

Position the patient. Clean the injection site. Pull the skin taut. Hold the needle at a 5 to 15 degree angle. Insert the needle into the skin. Look for the formation of a weal or a bleb. Remove the needle.


Most of us have specific activities we want to do in our lives. Things on the bucket list should be large and small-traveling to a particular place in the world, eating at a particular restaurant, engaging in daring adventures-a birthday can be a great opportunity to do the things you’ve always wanted to do but never got around to.

Include things you can do without leaving your hometown or spending less that $100. Your bucket list should also include big dreams! Is it your 21st? Your 40th? 50th? Doing something really special on particular milestones is especially memorable (and no one will begrudge you the expense!). Consider checking off a big bucket list item for these special years; major milestones are good years to do the skydiving, or the trip to Paris, or the kayaking down the Grand Canyon.  Look at ways to do the things you’ve always wanted to do on a budget. There are lots of helpful resources out there to make it easier (and cheaper) to get in that trip around the world you’ve always dreamed of, or snorkeling in the Maldives, or even just cooking that special dish you’ve always wanted to try. If you want to do something major, figure out how much money you can afford to spend on a special milestone birthday.
