It’s best to do this on the ground, if possible. That way, if you do faint you don’t run the risk of rolling off the surface you’re on and hurting yourself. Again, this is all about redirecting the blood to your head. When it’s lower and on the same plane as the rest of your body, your blood pressure stabilizes, your body relaxes, and the feeling that you’re about to faint dissipates....

This works best for foam that’s at least 2 in (5. 1 cm) thick. Ideally, the blade of the knife should be longer than the thickness of the foam. That will make it much easier to slice all the way through. You may have better control over a long knife than some of the other options, so this might be a good choice if you need to make detailed cuts....

If you don’t feel comfortable holding the ball while you cut it, secure the ball in a vise grip. Make sure the blade isn’t pointed toward your fingers or you could accidentally cut yourself if the knife slips. You may also use a craft knife, but it may not be as strong as a utility knife. Don’t make your slit any longer or else it could easily fall off of furniture legs....

For instance, if you’re a man who wants to compete in the 164–183 lb (74–83 kg) weight class, you’d calculate that 5% of 183 lb (83 kg) is about 9 lb (4. 1 kg). In that case, you need to weigh 192 lb (87 kg) or less to cut weight safely. If you have to cut more than 5% of your target weight, it’s probably time for you to move up into the next weight class....

Sure, you may be at fault for a certain problem in the relationship, and it’s important to acknowledge that. However, you should never, ever think that some mistake on your part makes your spouse’s cheating okay. If you focus too much on blaming yourself, then that will be letting your partner off the hook. It’s important for you to focus on your partner’s behavior, too. When a spouse is having an affair, it’s rarely about the third person....

When we love someone, it’s easy to forget reality. It’s easy to get our hopes up and to give the person the benefit of the doubt. It’s easy to think that this person is good. Unfortunately, in this situation, you can’t really do that. You’ll need to be on the lookout. It’ll also help fuel your memory. There may come a time when you go, “You know, that one time where I got angry at you because you lied about the thing at the place with the statue....

Remember that you don’t have to like your teacher in order to learn from him/her. As long as you are still doing well in the class, do your best to deal with your teacher. If the problem is affecting your grade or causing you to dislike school, it may not be worth it to just stick it out. If you’re struggling with a subject, ask your teacher for extra help or get a tutor....

Stay calm and take a deep breath. Figure out your exit strategy- how far is the door, and how silent can you get to it? Make a quiet exit. If they haven’t noticed you, because they are so-ahem- engaged in action, get out as quiet and as fast as you can. Never, ever mention what you saw or did, and move on with your life. Say “I am sorry” and be out of there....

A tourniquet should only go on limbs, such as arms or legs. Never use a tourniquet on someone’s neck or torso. If there is someone else present at the scene, ask one person specifically to call 911 while you assess and deal with the wound. If you are in a group, do not simply say, “Someone call 911!” Look at someone directly and say, “You! In the green jacket! Call 911!...

For example, a Christmas tree theme could be “rustic cheer,” “music,” “art deco tree,” or “winter wonderland. ” Even if your theme isn’t based on a color scheme, make sure you have one. Your tree will look more polished if it has a set palette. Pick the main color, and then a couple of secondary colors to complement it. You could pick a neutral scheme with lots of classic white, silver, and gold....

If you happen to live near an ocean, you can skip these materials and fill a bottle with seawater. Seawater is full of salt and great for use in the desalination process. You will also need some of plastic cling wrap, or other clean covering, to cover the bowl, and a small weight like a rock. Mix enough salt into the water so it tastes salty. Start with a small amount of salt and taste just a drop to ensure it is salty....

If your living room has a natural focal point, such as a fireplace or a view, consider designing around it. Face the seating towards the focal point so that everyone in the room has a clear view. Add rotating armchairs so you can easily adapt the room to a space for entertaining. If there isn’t a natural focal point, decide how to create one. For example, you can use a large piece of furniture, a brightly-colored wall, a piece of art....

One of the things that you’ll have to think about when designing based on genre is how you want the UI to look. Different types of games will have the UI more or less visible, depending usually upon the complexity of controls. Another consideration is that while some genres lack it almost entirely, other game genres have become synonymous with dialogue. Will your dialogue need to be recorded? Will you do it text based?...
