2,640 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Overcome Sadness | xxx | Help others with something that means something to them. Most of the time when you help other people that happiness rubs off on you. Giving is one of the best ways to help put a smile on your face. | Always give compliments to others. Think about how you may have made their day. People remember how you make them feel. | Appreciate all the things that are good in your relationship. Everyone feels more comfortable when there's appreciation. Wouldn't you? Learn to thank them for things they do even of it means saying thank you for a ride home. The things that they do for you all resemble the respect they have for you. Not all women have a good relationship, appreciate yours. | Give lots of compliments. They'll come back to you in good time but the intrinsic reward of compliments is that you make other people feel good––and that will always make you feel good too. | 0 |

This helps you figure out your placement. | This project can get messy. It would be a good idea to lay down a sheet of newspaper before you start working. | Glow sticks can get messy. It might be a good idea to go the project outside, or cover up your work area with lots of newspaper. | This project can get a little messy, so it would be a good idea to cover your counter with newspaper for easy cleanup. | 1 |
2,642 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | File a Contempt of Court | xxx | You may want to try and settle the case outside of court. However, settlement shouldn't be your first option, especially if you have a strong defense. For example, you should file an anti-SLAPP motion to strike first before engaging in any settlement discussions. | If you're in federal court, you can withdraw your lawsuit without a court order if you send a notice of dismissal to the other parties before anyone files an answer. After that point, you can still withdraw your lawsuit without a court order by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties to the case. | Before you file a motion for contempt of court, you may want to exhaust other options, such as sending a demand letter to the other party. The judge may not look kindly on your motion if there were simpler options available to you that you didn't use. | If you settle a class action lawsuit in federal court, you need the judge's approval, even if all parties are in agreement. You cannot file a Notice of Dismissal. | 2 |
2,643 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Do Window Art | xxx | Always clean your window with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth before painting or drawing on it. Dirt or oils on the glass will make it harder for your paint or ink to adhere properly. | Make sure to complete your painting job within a period of a few days. Dirt accumulation will create rust underneath your paint job, making it deteriorate more quickly. Wipe the surface with tack cloths, if you think dirt has accumulated after washing, priming or painting. | Always wear safety glasses when painting a ceiling, as the paint may drip on your eyes. You can also put lotion on your face and neck before painting, which will make it easier to remove paint drips with soap and water. | Clean your oil pastels regularly with a bit of baby oil and paper towel. This will avoid ruining your drawings with smudges of the wrong color. | 0 |
2,644 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Choose the Right Place to Feed Your Cat | xxx | Always wash your hands before handling your hamster. Hamsters have sharp teeth, and if you hand smells like food, they might try to nibble at your fingers. If your hamster does accidentally bite you, do not punish him. Hamsters will only bite because they've mistaken your fingers for food, as mentioned, or because they're scared. | Ceramic or glass bowls are ideal for feeding a cat. Stainless steel bowls could be a good choice, but your cat may get annoyed with the sound of its collar clanking against the bowl at mealtime. | Humans aren't the only ones who can get their tongues stuck to cold metal surfaces, dogs are also susceptible. If your dog is kept outside at any time during cold weather, don't provide food and water in metal bowl. Use ceramic, glass or plastic bowls instead. | Most of the time, a dog's picky eating is due to being fed too many table scraps by human or getting too many treats. Your dog avoids eating his own usual food because he knows there's something tastier out there. In other words, avoid this problem entirely by limiting treats and by stopping giving your dog human food. | 1 |
2,645 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Keep Toddlers from Fighting over Toys | xxx | If your child is against homeschooling, let him or her know why you want to home school. Listen to your child's concerns and find ways to address them. Involve older children in decisions about teaching methods, curriculum, and activities. | Be an active parent. Teach your child to engage in positive decision-making. Children with gaming problems often do not spend enough time interacting with their parents in parent/child activity. Go out to a pizza place or well lit restaurant. Sign up for a family softball league. Go swimming. There are many, many activities that are enjoyable where computers or video games are not even available. Sometimes, "distraction" is the best way to start. | Understand that toddlers are individuals. There is no definite timetable for learning to share. Remember, however, that more practice will probably lead better results. Look into local playgroups, and set up plenty of play dates for your toddlers. | Watch how your child responds in public. Speaking in public or with people your child does not know might be stressful. If stimulating environments tend to distract or distress your child, encourage quiet activities without a lot of talking. Wait until their confidence and abilities grow until they are ready to handle public settings. | 2 |
2,646 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Build Your Lower Body Strength | xxx | Always do exercises gradually to avoid muscle fatigue. Start with 1 set and move up to more sets and more repetitions as you grow stronger. Muscle fatigue is likely to force you back into improper postures that you are used to. | Your targeted muscles should feel fatigued and should slightly burn by the end of each set. | If your stomach muscles are sort the day after you did a few sets of knee crunches, take 2–3 days off from working you abs. This will give the muscles time to repair themselves and strengthen. | Make sure you give your muscles the proper time to recover. Only work a muscle group 2 to 3 times a week. Don't over train or you will do more damage than good. | 1 |

Tank tops keep you the coolest while dancing, and you will have a less chance of getting too hot. | Try wearing a bandeau, bralette, or camisole under any cut t-shirt that shows more of your chest, back, or sides. | Wear an undershirt or tank top so you don't get sleeves wet. | 0 |
2,648 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Green Smoothie | xxx | If the black-hole blue smoothie layer is too bright for your liking, add more blueberries for a darker color. | Try matching the food flavoring with the color of the lip balm. If your lip balm is bright red, consider using strawberry food coloring. If your lip balm is a very pale color, use peppermint. If it's a golden-orange-bronze color, use vanilla or orange flavor. | If you don't like the green color, hide it by using dark-colored berries like blueberries and cherries. | For an elegant look and sweeter taste, use strawberry cream cheese. Not only does it give it a vibrant color, but a better taste too! | 2 |
2,649 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Check Your Oil | xxx | That red "brake light" comes on for a lot of reasons, not just to tell you that your parking brake is engaged. Every time you start the car, see if it flashes to make sure it's working. If it comes on while you're driving, you've lost at least half of your braking system. If it comes on while you're applying the brakes, you have a problem – most likely low brake fluid or a faulty master cylinder. | If both headlights burn out simultaneously, check your headlight switch and wiring. Suspect an electrical fault. | If your oil light illuminates on the dash, this is a sign that your engine has dangerously low levels of oil. Refill immediately. | As with pedal and carpet wear, windshield and paint pitting that seems excessive compared to the odometer mileage are also cause for concern. Of course, absence of these tells you nothing - windshields can be replaced, "bra" use or repaints, etc. But if you have a windshield that's unusable while driving into the sun, but the odometer says 40,000 miles, be suspicious. | 2 |
2,650 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Apply Makeup for a Professional Setting | xxx | Wear dark eyeliner, but not mascara. Keep it subtle, but accentuate your eyes and make them look bigger. Don't cover your face in goopy makeup, as Wednesday prefers being simple. | Don't overuse makeup. Looking fake is never attractive. | Don't use makeup to hide who you really are. Don't judge your looks in a way to hide it. Just be yourself and use makeup if it really makes you feel better. Add a subtle amount. A little goes a long way. | Remember: Less is more! Use makeup to bring out your features, not to cover them up. | 3 |
2,651 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Deep Fry at Home | xxx | As with any cooking method that uses hot oil, take care when re-frying chicken to avoid potential danger. Careless handling of cooking oil can lead to grease fires, burns, and worse. | Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or a slow cooker liner before adding the ingredients. Doing so will prevent the food from sticking to the inside of the appliance, thereby making your post-dinner cleanup easier. | Using vegetable oil when barbecuing meats and other foods can make it much easier to keep your barbecue clean, and prevent food from sticking to the grates. | The more oil you use, the easier it will be to maintain at a consistent cooking temperature.While not a necessity, a metal fry basket can also come in handy for submerging and removing your food. | 3 |
2,652 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Save a Document in Rich Text Format | xxx | Since RTF is universal, any features you've included on the document that is native to the word processor you're using may not be saved. | If you are using Word 2007 or later and trying to edit a document created in Word 2003 or earlier, use the File → Convert command to unlock equations and other editing features. | Binary mode should be used for transferring the files. Most FTP clients will do this automatically, but if you are using a command line FTP client, use the “bin” command prior to transferring. | Due to their sensitive nature, DLL files cannot be opened or edited with a Windows process (e.g., Notepad). | 0 |
2,653 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Lower Your Chances of Getting Cancer | xxx | If every adult reduced their BMI by 1 percent, which would be equivalent to a weight loss of roughly 1 kg (or 2.2 lbs) for an adult of average weight, this would prevent the increase in the number of cancer cases and actually result in the avoidance of about 100,000 new cases of cancer. | Roughly 80% of people who have eye cancer survive 5 years as long as the cancer stays confined to the eye. If the cancer spreads, the survival rate drops depending on where it has spread. | The average patient on phentermine loses about 5% of his body weight. While this seems small, this amount of weight loss can have huge health benefits, such as reduced risk for diabetes and heart disease. | Even if you do not have diabetes, reducing sugar intake and being more active can greatly reduce the risk of the disease developing. More than one in three U.S. adults, and many other people worldwide, have a condition called "prediabetes," with elevated blood glucose levels and a higher risk of developing serious conditions. Get your blood sugar tested to determine your risk level. | 0 |
2,654 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Clean a Fish Tank With Sand | xxx | Remember that native predators can also help birds, rather than being detrimental to them. While the native predator might consume a few birds nests per year, it will also hunt many more rodents, which would have otherwise preyed on the nests. Some bird species choose to nest near native predators because this gives them the protection from many smaller rodents, despite the obvious risk. | Some fish, such as barbs, do better in groups. Add them to your community in groups of at least 3 (5 is better). They will establish their own pecking order and be less likely to pick at your other fish.Others may be fine with the other creatures in your tank but will attack and probably kill other members of their species | Make sure your saltwater fish have the best possible fish food you can find. Do not use floating flake foods- this will cause many fish to form a habit of gulping at the skin of the water for food. Pellets and drowning flakes are preferable. You could also use occasional tastier fish food as treats for your fish (some fish actually can learn tricks), but make sure they are also safe. | You will often have a choice of substrate, but some species of fish simply do better with sand. Bottom feeders, in particular, can be scraped by gravel and enjoy searching the sand for hidden food. Other species require sand beds for breeding or digestive health. | 3 |

2,656 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Kayak | xxx | Use a kickboard, life jacket, or arm floats if you feel trepidatious about being in the water at first. | When you swim in the pool or ocean, wear a swim cap to protect your hair from the drying chlorine and salt. If you don't have a swim cap, make sure to wet your hair with fresh water before going swimming. That way, your hair won't absorb as much of the pool or ocean water. | Getting wet while fishing in a kayak is completely normal. You will probably lose gear at some point, so don't take your best equipment with you! | Expect to get a little wet while you're kayaking. Wear a wetsuit if you want to stay insulated from the water. | 3 |
2,657 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Water Gun | xxx | Consult others. If you do not know what you are doing, ask someone for help. First, be sure that this person is one who you can trust. This means she--and yes, it should be a girl or a lady--will not tell you things she knows are wrong or will lead to bad results. You may wish to ask around a couple of times before taking action on one of the advised methods. | If you don't feel confident using a nail gun, get someone else to do it for you and watch how they use it. If you don't feel confident and know how to stay safe around this power tool, it is far safer to allow someone else to do the job. | If you have never used a drill before, please find someone who has and let them control it. You don't want to injure yourself or others. | Don't forget to show gratitude if your parents decide to change their rules for you. Be sure to thank them for considering your point of view and reassure them that you won't let them down. After you are allowed to do something that was previously forbidden, make sure that you tell your parents what the experience was like and how you are thankful for the opportunity to do something that they were hesitant to let you do. If they feel like you're being honest with them and learning how to take care of yourself, they'll be more likely to loosen other rules. | 2 |

Spending more time with the samples will help you get a sense of what you want. | Take pictures of your furniture, cabinets, and trim before you get started on your flooring project. This will make it easier to install everything back in its original location. | Take a picture of the room in which the chairs are, whether that's your living room, dining room, or somewhere else.

Look for products containing aloe vera and/or glycerin instead. | 0 |
2,663 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Do Qualitative Research | xxx | Try to remember the difference between qualitative and quantitative as each will give different data. | Combine true experiments with other types of experiments in order to gain a fuller picture. Observational studies will provide information about how a given treatment, for example, works in real life. | When conducting qualitative research, you should also take steps to reduce selection bias, which can occur when unpredictable differences between groups of people included in your study can exist and inaccurately affect the results. | Don't worry about not being able to find a single reference that provides good information on every step in an article. By using the reference format it is easy to show the correct reference for a given step. | 0 |

When you identify the parts of your work that are essential to your business and your customers, make sure you and your full time employees handle those tasks. | If you are worried that taking small breaks might be seen as lazy in your office, consult your manager or human resources department.
