Q: This may seem simple, but it's baffling how many guys don't take hygiene seriously. Physical attractiveness isn't the most important thing when it comes to being able to approach a woman you are interested in flirting with. Even if you don't consider yourself attractive, a little personal maintenance can go a long way. This includes things like wearing clean clothes, showering every day, using deodorant in the morning, brushing your teeth, making sure your hair looks presentable, etc. This does not mean that you should be overly arrogant and brag about every wonderful thing in your life. But it does mean that you should go into a flirting encounter acknowledging your value as a person so that the object of your flirtation will pick up on this. Women are receptive to how people feel about themselves and they will pick up on it if you have no faith in yourself. People will be more drawn to someone with a smiling face than they would to someone with a neutral or frowning face. Smiling sends a positive initial message, and can also raise a woman’s first impression of you before you even decide to start flirting with her.
A: Be clean and hygienic. Project confidence. Smile!

Q: One treatment for placenta previa is just to slow down some. In other words, you'll want to take some of your more strenuous activities off the table. You won't be able to do exercises or many of your normal activities. In addition, you shouldn't travel if you have this condition. If you are not experiencing heavy bleeding, your doctor may prescribe bed rest at home. The specifics may vary depending on your particular case, but in general, bed rest is just like it sounds: you'll lie down most of the time and sit or stand only when necessary. However, bed rest can cause health risks, including Deep Vein Thrombosis, so it is less commonly recommended than it used to be. If your doctor recommends bed rest, ask her for her rationale or get a second opinion. Pelvic rest means that you cannot perform activities involving your vaginal area. You can't have sex, douche, or wear a tampon, for instance. If you have a low-lying placenta or a partial placenta previa, the issue may resolve itself. Some women with these mild forms of the condition find that by the time they deliver, the placenta has moved. The biggest risk to your health is the heavy bleeding that can accompany placenta previa. Occasionally, women with placenta previa experience uterine hemorrhages that could potentially be fatal. Whether you are at home or in the hospital, watch for signs of heavy bleeding. If you notice sudden heavy bleeding, it's best to go to the emergency room. When you have this condition, your doctor will likely limit the time she spends examining you vaginally, as that can exacerbate the condition. In addition, she will use ultrasounds to determine where the baby is over time, and your baby's heartbeat may need to be looked at more closely. While medications will not directly treat the condition, you may be given drugs to prolong the pregnancy (so you don't give birth early), as well as corticosteroids to help your baby's lungs develop if you must give birth early. You may also be given blood transfusions due to blood loss.
A: Slow down. Ask your doctor for an explanation if she prescribes bed rest. Follow orders about pelvic rest. Check with your doctor about the severity of your case. Monitor your bleeding. Understand how future doctor's visits will go. Know what drugs may be used.

Q: Honesty is the best policy when it comes to a potential employer. Letting the employer know your availability is limited will help them understand your current situation and they may be more willing to work with your tight schedule. Include a sentence that says, "I am currently employed, but I am eager to work for your company as well." Your resume should be tailored to the specific company that you’re applying for. List skills that are relevant to the position you are applying for and remove any that do not relate. Include past work experience in a chronological order. If you're applying for a customer service position in retail, mention how well you interact with people. If you’re already working a 9-5 job, don’t schedule an interview for a second job in the middle of the day. Talk with a potential employer about your available hours and try to plan an interview at those times. Some jobs may want you to interview with a manager that only works during the days. Let them know your situation and see if they can be flexible. Showing that you are prepared and dressed like an employee will let the employer know that you have researched and care about the job. Sit up straight and maintain eye contact with your potential employer. Avoid crossing your arms as this will make you seem closed off.  Have a firm handshake but don’t squeeze their hands into a death grip. Don't slouch or put your feet up since you don't want to seem too comfortable. A subtle nod while the employer is talking will show that you have interest in what they are saying. for the best wage. Even though this will be a part-time or temporary job, you should still earn the most you can. Remember, the reason for your second job is the added income. During the interview, bring up prior experiences that are beneficial to the company and discuss the wages and benefits you would receive. Be direct with your approach by saying something like, "I need more money than that," but don't sound demanding.
A: Be forward by telling the employer you already have a job in your cover letter. Include valid experience on your resume. Schedule interviews at times where you would be available to work. Dress according to the company’s dress code. Be confident and assertive with your body language. Negotiate

Q: The best indication that a fig is fully ripe is when it falls to the ground. Rinse the figs with cool water to remove dirt and other debris, then pat them dry with a dishcloth or paper towel. Use a paring knife to cut the figs in half from stem to tip on a cutting board. Cutting the figs in half will help them dry more quickly. Put a layer of cheesecloth on top of any wooden or wire rack, such as those intended for cooling or dehydrating. In order to dry properly, the figs need airflow from above and below, so don't use a solid surface like a baking sheet. Place the figs cut-side up on the cheesecloth. Alternatively, you could put whole figs on wooden skewers and hang them in the sun, using clothespins to attach the skewers to branches or to a clothesline. This will protect them from insects as they dry. Tuck the cheesecloth tightly around the drying rack, securing it with tape if necessary, to make sure it won't come loose. If you hung up your figs instead, you won't be able to protect them with the cheesecloth. This method works best when it is very dry and hot outside. Don't place the figs in the shade, or they won't dry as quickly and may spoil before they're properly preserved. You'll need to bring them in each evening so they don't get spoiled by dew. Each morning, turn the figs over so they dry evenly on all sides and then place them back outside in the sunlight. The figs are ready when the outside feels leathery and no juice can be seen on the inside when squeezed. If the figs remain a little sticky, you can finish them in the oven. Tupperware or Ziploc bags are both options for storing your dried figs. They'll last several months in the fridge, or up to 3 years in the freezer.
A:
Rinse fully ripe figs. Cut the figs in half. Lay them on a wire or wooden rack covered with cheesecloth. Cover the figs with cheesecloth. Place the rack in full sunlight during the day. Return the figs to the sun for 2 to 3 days. Store the dried figs in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer.
