Avoid dehydration. Dehydration and dry mouth can cause white tongue. By staying hydrated, you can guard against it.
The amount of water you need per day will vary with your body weight, activity levels, and the climate you live it. Be sure to drink regularly. Once you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
Monitor yourself for other signs of dehydration such as infrequent urination, dark urine, exhaustion, or headaches. | |
Quit smoking. Smoking can contribute to the inflammation of the bumps on your tongue, making it easier for debris and dead cells to get trapped between them. This creates an excellent environment for bacteria to grow in.
The smoke also contains chemicals which are unhealthy for the tissues in your mouth. | |
Reduce your alcohol consumption. Excessive drinking can also cause the bumps on your tongue to become inflamed.
Drinking alcohol also makes you prone to dehydration, another cause of white tongue. | |
Improve your oral hygiene. This will help reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth.
Brush your teeth and tongue promptly after every meal.
Brush your teeth and tongue before going to bed.
Use an antiseptic mouthwash daily. | |

Prepare the peas for steaming, if needed. You can use any type of peas for this method, such as: frozen peas, fresh peas, snow peas, and sugar snap peas. Start out by rinsing the peas, then prepare them as follows:
Fresh peas: snap the stems off, then pull them down to remove the string. Split the pea pods open, and run your thumb down the center to pop the peas out.
Frozen peas: open the bag and take the peas out. You do not have to do anything more.
Snow peas: snap or cut off both ends with your fingers of a knife. You don't have to remove the strings.
Sugar snap peas: pinch the stems off, then throw out any bruised or damaged peas. | |
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. You will need about 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water. | |
Insert the steamer basket and add the peas. Make sure that the bottom of the basket is not touching the surface of the water. If the basket is touching the water, pour some water out. | |
Cover the pot with a lid and let the peas steam for 1 to 3 minutes. The peas are done when they turn crisp and bright green. The cooking times for the various peas are as follows:
Fresh peas: 1 to 2 minutes
Frozen peas: 2 to 3 minutes
Snow peas: 2 to 3 minutes
Sugar snap peas: 2 to 3 minutes | |
Remove the peas from the steamer basket and serve them immediately. You can season them with some salt, pepper, and butter. You can also use them in your recipe (ie: casseroles, macaroni and cheese, pasta, etc). | |
Establish boundaries. If family members are toxic, and they are causing harm to you or constant drama in your life, there is nothing wrong with drawing boundaries and setting limits. In fact, this can be a healthy thing to do.
The question to ask yourself is whether the family member has brought negatives into your life, draining you emotionally, stealing from you financially, undermining you, or any number of bad behaviors.
You have a right to draw boundaries to protect yourself. For example, perhaps you still see the negative family member at family events, and you treat them with respect when you do. However, perhaps you have decided to never visit with them one-on-one or lend them money. This is within your right to do.
Explain the boundaries to the family member in a warm and loving manner. However, be firm. Perhaps you can't stay over at a family member's house because fights always occur when you visit, so you will stay at a nearby hotel instead. | |
Know when it’s time to step back. There are some family problems that simply cannot be fixed. Some family problems also take time to solve. You may realize it is truly healthier for you to cut the family member out of your life for now, sad as that might be to admit.
Some family problems, like grief over a loved one or a parents inability to accept you for who you are, may not have solutions. Instead, you may need to accept that you have tried your best to communicate and connect with your family, to no avail. You may then need to move on from the issue and try to live your life the best you can.
Although such situations are intensely personal, generally you should consider cutting the family member out of your life if the family problem involves abuse, either physical or sexual. Abuse should not be tolerated, of yourself or others. Abuse situations should be reported to the police or child protective services.
Serious substance abuse issues that continue to impact your life could be another reason. You can try to get a person help, but if they continue to refuse, you might have to cut them out for your own peace of mind. | |
Seek counseling. It's not for everybody, but some family problems are so deeply felt and toxic that they can only be solved by a professional. It's worth a try if nothing else has worked, and there is nothing to be ashamed about by seeking help.
If the family member in question will not go to counseling, perhaps you could go on your own. A professional therapist can help you figure out how to deal with the family member and how to heal the rift. Reading books on relationships also can help some people, as can joining a support group.
If the family problem is rooted in issues like mental illness or substance abuse by you or another family member, a professional may be the only way for the family to start to heal. Some problems may be too complex for you to solve on your own.
A counselor can help by simply being a neutral, objective ear on the problem. The professional might offer suggestions that you didn't think of or perceive aspects of the conflict that you wouldn't because you are too close to it. | |
Scorpios have no interest in small talk, which makes them seem cold. This sign wants things to be real, authentic, and deep, 24/7. If you’re asking about the weather, they’re not interested. Also, they don’t see any value in pretending to have fun when they’re actually not. For that reason, a new Scorpio pal might appear unenthused in conversation, which earns them a bad rep.
This is just because Scorpio craves emotional, authentic conversation, and they don’t beat around the bush. Appreciate their honesty and remember that they aren’t snubbing you for sport, and Scorpio might grow on you! | |
Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions when using any electrical appliances or equipment. Do not use the products in ways that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
You should also never use defective appliances in your home or office. Get them inspected by the manufacturer or by a qualified electrician. | |
Disconnect small appliances when not in use. You should try to get into the habit of disconnecting small appliances like electric kettles, toasters, and hair dryers, once you are done using them. This way, you save electricity and you lower the risk of an electrical fire due to these appliances.
You should also make sure you unplug all appliances before you clean them. You do not want water to come into contact with the appliances while they are plugged in. | |
Make sure you use the right light bulbs in fixtures. You should only use light bulbs that match the wattage of the fixture. Do not use light bulbs that have a higher wattage than recommended on the light fixture. This is an electrical hazard.
Check that the light bulbs are screwed in properly. Improperly secured light bulbs can lead to overheating, which can then lead to an electrical fire. | |
Make sure there are Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters in your outlets. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs), can help to prevent electrical fires by shutting down automatically if a circuit is overloaded or at risk. Your home or office may already have GFCIs installed in the electrical outlets. There will be a small black "test" button and a small red "reset" button on the outlets. You can then use these buttons to reset your electrical current if there is a power overload
The most common type of GFCI is the "receptacle-type" GFCI, which can be installed in your electrical wall outlets by a qualified electrician. You should have GFCIs installed throughout your home, such as in your kitchen, your bathrooms, your laundry room, your workshop, your basement, and your garage.
There are also temporary, portable GFCIs available for construction sites and outdoor areas where you are using electric tools or yard equipment like lawn mowers or trimmers.
GFCIs in your home or office should be tested on a monthly basis to ensure they are functioning properly. They should be tested by a qualified electrician. | |
Take a trip to break up your routine. After ending the affair, take some time away for yourself. Plan a solo getaway somewhere you have been dying to visit or take a weekend trip to a nearby city with your best friends. You might also visit friends or relatives with whom you’ve fallen out of touch.
Visiting a different place can help you stay grounded and positive after the decision. Plus, if you’re around loved ones, you will feel care for and hopeful about the future. | |
Make changes to your daily routine. Shake up your daily life by filling the holes where your married man used to be. Switching up some aspects of your routine helps you maintain some distance from the married man. It also helps you build new memories on your own.Changing Things UpSetting new goals: Take up a new fitness activity, like running or yoga.Redecorate your home.Complete an artistic project, like a story or painting.Connecting with new people: Join a club, like a book club.Get involved in a local organization, like a school or church.Spend time with friends and ask them to introduce you to their co-workers or other acquaintances.Try online dating when you’re ready to meet someone new. | |
Change your phone number if he won't stop contacting you. To truly cut ties, get a new phone number so he can no longer reach you. When you install your new contacts, be sure his number is not on the list. You could also keep your number and block his, so you don’t get calls or texts from him. | |
Delete him on social media. Cut off all contact with the married man by unfollowing or unfriending him on all of your social media platforms. That way, you don’t get the urge to reconnect.
This also helps you move on without punishing yourself. The whole process is hurtful enough without you having to see pics of him and his happy family on your news feed. | |
Avoid seeing your ex-lover. Try your best to avoid all the places he frequents, so you don’t have to run into him. If you know he spends time in a certain bar on weekends, suggest to your friends that you check out a new place for drinks. Go to a new place for lunch if you typically snuck away to a café downtown.
If you work with him, see if you can be switched to a different department or a different shift. If not, restrict contact to work-related discussions only. | |
Reconnect with others. Help yourself break away from the affair by planning platonic activities with old friends. You may have disappeared or disconnected during your time with your married man, so show them you're back and wanting to reconnect.
Even if it's been a while, try reaching out with a "Hey, what are you up to this weekend? I miss you, and I'd love to hang out."
If you have good friends who did not know about the affair, consider telling them about it so you can get some additional support. | |
Exfoliate. Many beauty magazines recommend a regular regimen of facial exfoliation to keep your cheeks pink. The reasoning behind this is that exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that can give your face a "dull," cold appearance.
If you have one, try using an exfoliating cream or rub (preferably one that contains a moisturizer) to clean your face every morning.
If you don't, no worries — you can make your own with olive oil and sugar. | |
Give yourself a facial massage. Another trick that beauticians will sometimes recommend for giving yourself pink cheeks is a facial massage. Massages improve circulation and increase blood flow to the area you massage, giving the impression of pinker cheeks. While this solution is a temporary one, it's one that's very quick and easy to do on your own.
To give yourself a facial massage, close your eyes, get into a comfortable position, and bring your hands up to your face. Use the tips of your fingers to press into the skin of your face, starting at the top of your forehead and gradually working your way down to your chin. Spend extra time on your cheeks, gently kneading and pressing them to increase blood flow. | |
Exercise! One sure-fire way to get your cheeks nice and red is to simply do a little exercise. It's no secret that activities like playing sports, jogging, lifting weights, and doing calisthenics can make you flushed — generally, the more intense the exercise, the brighter your cheeks will be.
Note however, that a regular exercise routine can actually make it harder for you to get rosy cheeks in the long run. If you're able to reduce your blood pressure with steady exercise (which, by the way, is a good thing!), the capillaries in your cheeks responsible for giving you pink cheeks won't fill with blood during exercise as easily. | |
Stay warm. Keeping yourself warm and cozy in cold weather can sometime have the side effect of giving you pink cheeks. When your body temperature is hot, the body automatically redirects blood from the inside of your body to the blood vessels near the surface. This blood causes your cheeks (and likely other parts of your body) to get a reddish or pinkish tinge.
Don't go overboard here — wearing a warm coat in winter is a good idea, but deliberately subjecting yourself to uncomfortably high temperatures can be unsafe. Cool off right away if you start to sweat profusely or feel light-headed. | |
Rinse your face with warm water. A nice facial rinse doesn't just feel great — it can also give your cheeks a "splash" of pink! Heating up the skin of your face with warm water causes the body to direct more blood there. This extra blood can make your cheeks a little pinker with very little effort on your part. | |
This outfit will definitely have you turning heads. Grab your pink jacket and try to color match it as you pick out a midi-length skirt, a pair of kitten heels, a soft blouse, and a scarf. Accessorize with matching pink jewelry and a subtle pink handbag to look radiant and glowing.
It’s okay if your pinks don’t all match up perfectly. Try to stick to one tone, though: blush pink, hot pink, and light pink are all very different.
If you have a darker skin tone, neon pink will really pop against your skin.
If you have a lighter skin tone, opt for a medium-hued pink, but avoid pastel colors that could make you look washed out. | |
Act cocky to make her laugh (and get her contact info). If you’re normally a little self-deprecating, play it a different way by pretending you’re the best of the best. Then, ask for her phone number as she chuckles at your opening line.
When you text her for the first time, you could say something like, “It’s me! The smartest, most attractive person on Tinder.” | |
Earn at least a high school diploma. Concierge jobs generally do not require a college degree. The minimum requirement for most positions is a high school diploma. An associate's or bachelor's degree in tourism, hospitality, or hotel management may be helpful for better paying jobs.
Some community colleges may offer a certificate in hospitality. This takes less time than an associate's degree, but it still looks good on a resume. | |
Take a tourism or hospitality course. If you want to improve your knowledge of the tourism industry, check local universities and community colleges for classes in hospitality or hotel management. You may even be able to take an online course.
National organizations, like the National Association of Professional Organizers or Les Clefs d'Ors, may also offer courses. | |
Experience your community like a tourist would. To offer your guests honest advice, you will need to know about all of the amenities and services your local area offers. Eat at various restaurants, and visit local attractions. Repeat this every six to twelve months after you get a job, so that you understand what's trendy and new. You should research local:
Restaurants.
Museums.
Spas.
Gyms.
Grocery stores.
Parks.
Theaters.
Shopping. | |
Find work within the hospitality or tourism sector. If you do not have any experience in tourism, you may want to find a part-time job in other service sectors. This will give you some experience that may help when applying to be a concierge. Some jobs that may be relevant include:
Hotel receptionist.
Tour guide.
Valet.
Personal assistant.
Hotel or restaurant manager. | |
Help your baby fall into a sleep routine by putting them down at set times. Sticking with consistent bedtime and nap times can help your baby associate sleep with certain times. Wait until your baby is at least 4 months old before you try a schedule since younger babies need to wake frequently to eat.
Once your baby is around 4 months old, they should be able to sleep for a 5-hour stretch, so sleep training is possible. | |
You’ll admire each other's gentle, affectionate nature. Libra women create harmony and warmth everywhere they go, and Taurus men are lovers at heart. To connect, support each other’s dreams, get cuddly, and give thoughtful gifts. You two have huge hearts. Direct all that loving energy towards each other, and you’ll have a relationship filled with tenderness.
Support your partner’s goals. Buy them a journal to write stories in, time them while they train for their triathlon, and always show interest in their updates.
Get close through physical affection. Light a candle, buy some fancy chocolates, and spend a night on the couch. Full-body massages are a must.
You two will both feel touched by great gifts. Libra, as an air sign, you come up with creative, thoughtful gifts. Taurus, offer her a sweet, handmade present. | |
You two may struggle to understand each other’s view of romance. A Libra will want her Taurus boyfriend to plan grand, romantic gestures, but to a Taurus, taking out the garbage means more than a long-form love letter. Libra and Taurus, when you can, try to offer your partner affection through gestures they appreciate. In addition to that, focus on seeing the love and intention behind your partner’s actions.
Libra, offer Taurus simple, practical acts of service. Cook him dinner, pick up snacks for your movie night, or help him with his home-improvement projects.
Taurus, when you can, plan super romantic dates. Take her on a gorgeous hike and pack wine, cheese, and rose petals for a picnic.
When your partner shows love in their own way, remind yourself of its significance to them: to him, hanging my new shelves is as good as saying, “I love you.” | |
You have several options for grading this quiz. The "Release Grades" section determines when each user will see how they've done on the quiz. You can also choose options under "Respondent settings," such as whether to display questions answered incorrectly, and whether to display correct answers once the quiz is graded.
To release grades automatically once a user submits the quiz, select Immediately after each submission.
If you'd rather grade the quizzes your self and then manually release the grades, choose Later, after manual review. | |
There’s nothing wrong with seeking help if you need it. Losing a friend that you cared about can be really difficult to cope with. If your emotions are intense and you’re having trouble coming to terms with your friend dumping you, reach out to a counselor or a therapist. They’ll be able to help you overcome and cope with your feelings of loss.
You can go online to look up therapists and counselors in your area. | |
Avoid petty competition and departmental rivalry. Academic departments can be competitive and cut-throat environments. With everyone competing for the same grants, awards, and respect, it can get ugly fast. Try your best to stay out of departmental politics, and make an active effort to reach out to others and collaborate. Put your head down and do your work. No matter how smart you may be, how great a teacher, or researcher, you will need the help of others in your research. | |
Balance teaching responsibilities with research and coursework. While your research and dissertation are your primary focus during your doctoral studies, make sure you've developed a healthy balance between all your responsibilities. If you've never taught before, it can be difficult to find the time to spend on completing the research you want to complete, when you've got a stack of fifty papers to grade, lesson plans to prepare, and a student in tears at your office door.
Don't Try to do everything at once. Because you will spend several years to earn your doctorate, it's important to slow down and do everything with the attention to detail the process deserves. You don't want to get your dissertation hung up because of a silly documentation error you rushed through. | |
Be tenacious and display initiative. The average PhD takes between 5 and 10 years to complete. You have to be prepared to commit the time and energy, throwing yourself into the deep end of the academic pool. It's not something to rush through, but it is your chance to put your stamp on the field that's captivated you.
During the time you spend working on your doctorate, you'll face a variety of challenges. The lab's funding may be cut. You may lose grant money. Your paper may get rejected from a conference. Fail early and fail often. Create opportunities for yourself and work around the challenges. | |
Stay organized. Despite the reputation of academics as absent-minded Professors, getting a PhD takes an ordered mind. Learn to prioritize tasks and relegate less-critical chores until later. Do one thing at a time. Break large jobs down into smaller manageable tasks that you can complete and move on. | |
Determine whether bond has been set. ICE may have set a bond, similar to bail in an ordinary criminal court, that must be paid before the detainee can be released.
You can ask the deportation officer about the detainee's bond. If the officer tells you the detainee doesn't have a bond, you need to find out if this is because the detainee isn't eligible for a bond or because the bond hasn't been set.
The minimum bond is $1,500, but depending on the circumstances, it may be $20,000 or more. A higher bond indicates ICE believes the detainee to be a substantial flight risk. Bonds also may be higher if the detainee has a criminal record or no significant ties to the area.
Just as with bail in criminal court, the bond guarantees the detainee's appearance in court. If the detainee fails to appear, the person who paid the bond forfeits the money. However, you will get your money back provided the detainee shows up for all scheduled hearings.
If the detainee has a prior removal order, or has a record of committing certain crimes such as violent felonies, drug offenses, or terrorism-related offenses, the law mandates detention and he or she cannot be released before removal proceedings are completed. | |
Request a bond hearing. If bond has not been set, or if you believe the amount of the bond is excessive, you can file a motion for a bond hearing.
Every detainee is entitled to a bond hearing, but you don't have to wait until the detainee's first hearing to have bond determined.
You also should consider asking for a bond hearing if you can't afford to pay the bond. A judge may lower the amount, particularly if you are a close relative with strong ties to the area who can vouch for the detainee's appearance at his or her hearings.
Often a judge will set bond at the detainee's initial hearing – but you can request an earlier hearing simply to determine the amount of the bond. To request this hearing, you must file a document called "Motion for Bond Redetermination" with the Immigration Court on behalf of the detainee.
If you need to file a motion, you definitely should consider hiring an experienced immigration attorney to assist you. If you're concerned about the expense, you can check with the nearest legal aid office or call a nonprofit immigration organization for connections to free or reduced-fee legal assistance. | |
Arrange to pay the bond. The detainee will only be released if the set bond is paid.
Keep in mind that you must have legal status in the U.S. to pay a detainee's bond. In other words, you must be a citizen or lawful permanent resident.
You must pay the bond at your nearest ICE field office using a cashier's check made out to "Department of Homeland Security." They won't take cash, credit cards, or personal checks.
You must bring your Social Security card and a government-issued photo ID with you when you pay the bond.
You also must have the detainee's name, date of birth, and A-Number so the bond can be applied to the right person.
Because many detention centers will not arrange for the transportation of a detainee upon release, you should make arrangements to pick up the detainee at the detention center when he or she is released. | |
Check for symptoms immediately after ingestion of fresh produce. To determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of oral allergy syndrome, check to see if you are experiencing symptoms immediately after ingestion of fresh fruits and vegetables. Typically, symptoms will subside once the fresh fruit or vegetable is either swallowed or removed from the mouth. If you experience any of the following symptoms when a fresh fruit or vegetable is in your mouth, you may have oral allergy syndrome:
Scratchy throat.
Swollen lips.
Itchy mouth.
Swollen mouth.
Swollen tongue.
Swollen throat.
Itchy ears. | |
Check for life-threatening symptoms. It is very rare for oral food allergy to cause anaphylaxis, but it can happen. One study found anaphylactic shock in 1.7% of oral allergy syndrome patients. You should make sure you are not experiencing any severe reactions to fresh fruits and vegetables and see a doctor immediately if you experience severe symptoms. In particular, get yourself to a hospital if you experience any of the following symptoms after eating fresh fruits or vegetables:
Vomiting.
Dizziness.
Hives.
Nausea.
A tight feeling in the throat.
Trouble breathing or shortness of breath. | |
Determine whether your reaction is isolated to fresh foods. If you react only to fresh fruits and vegetables, you may be experiencing oral allergy syndrome. However, if you experience a reaction in response to both fresh and cooked versions of a fruit or vegetable, you may have a food allergy. In contrast to conventional food allergies, oral allergy syndrome only happens in response to fresh fruit and vegetables.
Some reactions may also result from pesticides on fresh fruits and vegetables. If your reaction to fresh fruits and vegetables is mild, then you might try washing the fruits and vegetables thoroughly, such as with a vegetable brush, some white vinegar, or baking soda. You can also try switching to organic produce to see if that helps. | |
Write your symptoms in a food diary. Keep a food diary in a notebook or on a computer. In your food diary, record your allergic reactions to particular foods. If you experience an unpleasant reaction to eating fresh apples, write down your symptoms in the food diary. You can then use this information when talking to your doctor. You can also look for any patterns in your allergy experience. For instance, you can see if your experience of a specific pollen allergy is associated with reacting to a particular fresh fruit or vegetable:
If you have a birch pollen allergy, record any unpleasant reactions to almonds, apples, carrots, cherries, kiwis, hazelnuts, peaches, pears, or plums. It is common but not necessary for people with a birch pollen allergy to experience oral allergy syndrome in response to eating fresh versions of these foods.
Record any unpleasant symptoms in response to eating fresh melons, celery, oranges, peaches, and tomatoes. If you have a grass pollen allergy, you may be more susceptible to oral allergy syndrome in response to eating these fresh foods.
Record any unpleasant reactions to fresh bananas, cucumbers, melons, zucchini, or sunflower seeds. If you have a ragweed pollen allergy, you may be especially likely to experience oral allergy syndrome in response to fresh versions of these foods. | |
Gain at least 3 years of experience in arboriculture before applying. Jobs that involve pruning, fertilization, or diagnosis and treatment of diseases in trees all count as relevant experience. If you're unsure whether your experience is relevant, contact the ISA for more information.
Some examples of relevant careers include working for tree care companies, nurseries, landscape companies, state forestry agencies, and academic arboriculture/horticulture departments.
Volunteer experience involving trees may count if your work was supervised and can be documented. | |
Gather documentation of your work experience. These documents will be submitted with your ISA certification application. You might, for example, gather letter(s) of reference from your current and former employers, payroll stubs from your current job, CPR or First Aid certifications, business licenses, work invoices, or contracts between yourself and former clients.
How much documentation you need depends on how much work experience you have. You should be able to provide documentation for each job you list on your application. | |
Obtain 3 letters of reference if you are self-employed. If you're an arborist who does freelance work or owns their own company, ask your former clients for letters of reference. Submit these 3 letters with your application as validation of your self-employment experience. | |
Pursue a degree in arboriculture as relevant experience (optional). An associate degree in arboriculture coupled with 2 years of experience, or a bachelor degree in arboriculture and 1 year of experience, both fulfill the 3 years of relevant experience required.
If you've earned your degree in arboriculture, include a copy of your degree in the application. | |
Understand the meaning of compound interest. Compound interest means that as your interest is earned, the interest goes back into the account, and you begin earning (or paying) interest on top of interest. As a simple example, if you deposit $100 at 5% interest per year, then at the end of one year you will earn $5 interest. If you return that to the account, then at the end of the second year, you will earn 5% of $105, not just the original $100. Over time, this can increase quite substantially.
The formula for calculating the value (A) of compounding interest is:
A=P(1+rn)nt{\displaystyle A=P(1+{\frac {r}{n}})^{nt}} | |
Know the principal amount. As with simple interest, the calculation begins with the amount of the principal. The calculation is the same, whether you are calculating interest on money borrowed or money loaned. The principal amount is generally denoted with the variable P{\displaystyle P}. | |
Measure the rate. The interest rate must be agreed upon at the outset and should be presented in a decimal number for calculation. Recall that the percent number can be converted to a decimal by dividing by 100 (or, as a shortcut, moving the decimal point two places to the left). Make sure that you know the length of time that the interest rate applies to. The rate is noted algebraically as r{\displaystyle r}.
For example, a credit card may advertise interest of 15% per year. However, interest is generally applied each month, so you may want to know the monthly interest rate. In that case, divide by 12, to find the monthly interest rate of 1.25% per month. These two rates, 15% per year or 1.25% per month, are equivalent to each other. | |
Know when the interest will compound. Compounding interest means that the interest will be calculated periodically and added back to the principal amount. For some loans, this may happen once a year. For some, it may happen each month or each quarter. You need to know how many times a year the interest will be compounded.
If interest is compounded annually, then n=1.
If interest is compounded quarterly, for example, then n=4. | |
Know the term of the loan. The term is the length of time for which the interest will be calculated. The term is generally measured in years. If you need to calculate interest for some other length of time, you will need to convert into years.
For example, for a loan of one year, then t=1{\displaystyle t=1}. But, for a term of 18 months, then t=1.5{\displaystyle t=1.5}. | |
Identify the variables from the situation. Suppose, for this example, you deposit $5,000 into a savings account that pays 5%, compounded monthly. What will be the value of this account after three years?
First, identify the variables that you need to solve the problem. In this case:
P=$5,000{\displaystyle P=\$5,000}
r=0.05{\displaystyle r=0.05}
n=12{\displaystyle n=12}
t=3{\displaystyle t=3} | |
Apply the formula and calculate the compounded interest. Once you have understood the situation and identified the variables, enter them into the formula to find the amount of the interest.
For the problem started above, this would look as follows:
A=P(1+rn)nt{\displaystyle A=P(1+{\frac {r}{n}})^{nt}}
A=5000(1+0.0512)12∗3{\displaystyle A=5000(1+{\frac {0.05}{12}})^{12*3}}
A=5000(1+0.00417)36{\displaystyle A=5000(1+0.00417)^{36}}
A=5000(1.00417)36{\displaystyle A=5000(1.00417)^{36}}
A=5000(1.1616){\displaystyle A=5000(1.1616)}
A=5808{\displaystyle A=5808}
Thus, after three years, compound interest will have amounted to $808, in addition to the original $5,000 deposit. | |

Sign in. Under the Sign In box, type in your Gmail email address and password. This is your one Google ID for all of Google’s services, including Google Docs. Click the “Sign in” button to proceed.
Upon logging in, you will be brought to the main view with all your documents listed and sorted. | |
Identify a shared doc. There’s no ready filter for identifying docs shared with you. There’s no central folder or location where shared docs are stored in Google Docs. However, you can easily identify shared docs by looking under the Owner column. Your owned docs have “Me” listed under the Owner column. Otherwise, you’ll see the Google name of the person who owns them. | |
Open a shared doc. Once you’ve identified a shared doc, click it once to open it. Depending on the access level assigned to you by the owner of the doc, you will be able to edit, comment, or view it. | |
Use sensory detail. You should always use sensory detail in your poetry to allow your words to jump off the page. Focus on how you can explore the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. You should use details that play on the senses in your poetry so your reader is immersed in your poem.
For example, you may describe a moment by focusing on how it smelled or sounded. You may describe a storm as “earthy and smelling of rain” or “pounding the air like a drum.” You may also describe a moment based on how it tasted or felt, such as describing your first kiss as “sweaty and wet” or “sweet, like the ice cream she just licked.” | |
Tie in literary devices. You should also use literary devices to enhance your poetry and make it more engaging on the page. Literary devices are often used by poets to polish up their language and create imagery that lingers in the reader’s mind.
You may use literary devices like metaphor and simile. Metaphors compare one object to another object in an interesting way, for example, “her smile is a jack-o-lantern in the window.” Similes use “like” or “as” to compare one object to another, for example, “she was like a witch on a broomstick” or “she is as red as a tomato.”
You can also use literary devices like personification. Personification occurs when an inanimate object, an idea, or an animal is given human attributes, for example, “the wind sighed through the grass” or “the fire swallowed up the house.” | |
Write with intent and honesty. Because you are writing the poem for yourself you have the freedom to write with intention and honesty. You should strive to be honest and clear in your poems, especially if you plan to show them to only yourself. Be okay with writing about moments or events that may be uncomfortable, unsettling, or disturbing to you. The poetry you write may act as a form of therapy, allowing you to explore feelings you may never otherwise address if you were writing for an audience besides yourself.
Focus on how you can infuse the poem with clear details and a sense of confession. You may pretend you are writing the poem to a younger version of yourself or to a person who would never judge you. Picture a forgiving audience and write for them, infusing your writing with honesty and sincerity. | |
Read the poem out loud to yourself. Once you have finished a draft of a poem, you should read it out loud to yourself. Listen to how the words sound on the page and revise the poem so it flows well. Note any awkward phrases or lines and adjust them. Add in sensory detail if a line sounds too vague or unclear.
The poem is meant for your eyes only so you may decide not to revise it completely or polish it like you would if it were meant for publication. You have the freedom to revise the poem as you see fit and adjust it based on how you, the sole reader, respond to the poem. | |
Yacht stewardesses are paid well. The general base pay for a yacht stewardess is $2,500 a month with higher wages for higher positions (like senior stewardesses and chief stews) and higher ships. Stewardesses on yachts larger than 55 meters can make well over $4,000 a month. And that doesn’t include tips!
Yacht stewardesses also have no living expenses since food, housing, electricity, water, even toiletries are provided on the ship.
Depending on the countries you sail out of, this can sometimes be tax-free!
Tips are usually divided evenly among the crew. | |
Look for holes are cracks that are 2 in (5.1 cm) wide or larger. Chipmunks may try to get into your home during the winter months if there are openings large enough. Look near the foundation of your home for any holes or cracks that chipmunks may be able to squeeze through.
Look for broken siding on your exterior walls or shingles on your roof. Chipmunks may climb up and find ways to enter your home. | |
Use caulk or concrete to fill in the outdoor holes that you find. Use clear or white caulk to fill in smaller patches along your exterior. Squeeze the trigger on the caulk applicator to dispense the caulk and seal the area. For holes larger than 2 in (5.1 cm), mix quick-setting concrete to make a patch for the hole.
Once concrete is applied, it can be sanded and painted. | |
Cover vents, chimneys, and pipes with mesh so chipmunks can’t fit inside. Check your home for any exposed pipes, vents, or chimney holes. If they don’t already have mesh in place, cover the area so chipmunks or other pests can’t get inside. Either drive a nail every 1 in (2.5 cm) around the edge of the mesh, or caulk the edges so it stays in place.
Mesh sheets can be purchased from your local hardware store.
Make sure the material you use is breathable so gases and liquids can still pass through it. | |
Hydrate your lawn properly. Like all living things, lawns need a substantial amount of water to survive. Frequent, shallow waterings can be detrimental to your lawn health, however. Instead, make sure your lawn receives about one inch of water once a week.
If you’re unsure how much water your lawn is getting, place a ruler in the middle of your lawn. In a pinch, you can even use a can of cat food or similarly sized item to gauge hydration levels. | |
Breathe new life into your lawn with fresh seed. As the years wear on, lawns can begin to thin out. Thankfully, it's easy enough to restore a lawn to the lush, vibrant state of its younger years. Scatter more seeds, referred to as overseeding, across your yard in order to further fill out your lawn.
Watering an overseeded lawn is the exception to the once a week rule. A freshly seeded lawn will need a light watering twice a day. Keep this up for four days, then switch to a deep watering once a day for the next five days.
The amount of seed you should use varies based on the size of your lawn and the damage done. Be sure to refer to the instructions on whatever seed you use. | |
Adjust how you mow the lawn to prevent weed outbreaks. Longer grass can block out sunlight, depriving weeds of a vital aspect of their growth. Adjust your mower to a height of three inches, and be sure to never take off more than one-third of each blade of grass per mowing.
Don’t dispose of your clippings. Instead, allow them to decompose and provide extra nutrients to your lawn. Just make sure to remove larger clumps before letting it rest. This will prevent thatch build-up
Because you don’t want to remove too much grass at a time, frequent mowings are necessary. Monitor the growth of your grass, and mow as often as necessary to ensure you’re only removing one-third of the blade at a time. | |
Fill depressions left by lawn use and upkeep. The process of keeping up with your lawn through aerators and lawnmowers can leave ruts across your property. Fill these depressions with a mixture of sand and soil. Be sure to put down only a half an inch of the mixture at one time.
Deeper ruts will require further treatment. Wait until the grass has grown out again in the remaining divots, which will take approximately four weeks. Repeat the process in these problem areas. | |
Receiving a Super Like doesn’t mean you’re obligated to swipe right. If you check out the person’s profile and you just aren’t that into them, give them a left swipe and send them on their way. They’ll get a new Super Like to use tomorrow, and they probably won’t even remember your profile in a few hours.
People don’t get notified if you left swipe them, even if they’ve Super Liked you. | |
Get to know your controls. Even on PC, the game is best played with a controller. The RC controls are:
flipping
flying
boosting
jumping
moving forward
moving backward
accelerating
left and right Be strategic about how you move. Heading always for the ball is not always a good option. What about the rest of the cars trying to hit the ball? Sometimes it's better if other players run for the ball, and then when you have a clean space, make the move. You then have the luxury of controlling the ball freely or even scoring a goal. | |
Shoot for success. Experimenting once in a while will be great for Rocket League, but ensure that when a move is made towards the ball, the hit will be successful. The more hits, the better the chance for more points, which will increase the level of points faster. | |
Take advantage of boost at all times. You have the ability to boost the car, and collecting boost points raises the car's boost. There are 12% boost pickups around the field (they are located in circles: one circle in the middle of the field, and another bigger circle surrounding the first one). There are two vertical rows of boost pickup, one at the left of the field and one on the other side. These pickups count for a 100% boost.
Boost the car as much as possible. Don't worry if boost is empty, pickups are there to pick up. Get familiar with the boost pickup positions, and pick up as many boost pickups as possible. This will keep the RC car more active in the game, obtaining more chances of controlling the game, passing, and scoring goals. | |
Pass the ball on teammates. Scoring a goal will score points, what about playmaking? Being a playmaker gives bigger chances of winning the game. Make sure passes are made regularly, especially from the left and right sides of the field. The most common move in Rocket League is waiting for the ball to kick it in the back of the net, so passes from the side enable the teammate to score a goal easier. | |
Measure your print to determine the right packaging size. To package your prints properly, you’ll need to buy appropriately sized packing material. If you don’t already know the size of the print, measure it before you obtain any sleeves or envelopes.
For example, if your print is 8.5 by 11 inches (22 by 28 cm), a 9.75 by 12.25 in (24.8 by 31.1 cm) rigid mailing envelope will work well. | |
Slide a cardboard backing sheet into a sealable plastic sleeve. Get a sheet of stiff cardboard or chipboard that is the same size as your print or slightly larger. Slip it into a clear plastic art sleeve with an adhesive top.
You can purchase plastic art sleeves online, from shipping supply stores, or from arts and crafts stores. Look for bags that are labeled “Acid Free” and “Archival Safe.”
Purchase chipboard sheets from a packing supply or craft store, or cut your own backing sheets from old cardboard boxes with a precision knife.
The backing sheet will help ensure that your print doesn’t get bent. | |
Insert the print into the plastic sleeve face up. Carefully slide your print into the plastic sleeve on top of the cardboard or chipboard backing sheet. Make sure the design on the print is facing out so that it will be visible when the recipient takes it out of the package.
To ensure the best visibility, put your print in the bag so the adhesive seal is on the opposite side from the front of the print when you close the bag. | |
Seal the sleeve with the print and cardboard inside. Peel the protective strip off of the adhesive on the plastic sleeve. Carefully fold the top of the sleeve over and press it down to seal it.Tip: If you like, you can add a personal touch by tying some decorative twine around the print and slipping a hand-written thank you note or your business card underneath. You can also stick notes or other embellishments onto the outside of the sleeve with some decorative washi tape. | |
Place the print inside a rigid mailing envelope. Slip the plastic sleeve containing the print into a mailer that’s stiff enough not to bend easily. Seal the top of the envelope with the adhesive strip.
For extra security, put a little packaging tape across the back flap of the envelope. |
