Hearthstone is an online TCG (Trading Card Game) that enables you to challenge anyone in the world to a card duel. It works like most of the TCG games out there, but Hearthstone made it easier even for beginners to understand. Winning the duel just means depleting your opponent’s health (HP) to zero. Unlike other TCGs, depleting your deck does not make you lose the match. You just deal damage to yourself each turn you aren’t able to draw anything from your deck. Both players will have their own heroes to use plus access to their specific hero powers. These powers or abilities can be triggered by clicking the hero ability icon just right beside the player’s hero avatar. Hearthstone cards are divided into three categories: minions, spells, and weapons. These cards can be used when you have acquired enough mana equal to their usage cost. Attacking simply means clicking on your minion and directing its attack at your target. You can target an enemy minion or the hero directly. Spells also work the same way. Just choose the spell you want to cast and then choose the target you want to affect.

Often, your body will fight off this infection, and you won't have the condition any more within a year or two. Though it can clear spontaneously, there is no cure for the virus. However, you can take a vaccine to prevent it if you're sexually active.  If you had warts with your HPV, they should clear once the infection has cleared. Otherwise, the only way to know if the HPV has cleared up is to get the test again in a year or so. You can get an HPV vaccine starting at age 9. Continue getting a vaccine until age 26 if you’re female or age 21 if you’re male. With this procedure, the doctor will use magnification to take a close-up look at your cervix. That will help them decide if you need further testing, such as a biopsy.  With this procedure, you'll need to be on the examining table with your feet in the stirrups. They will use a speculum to hold your cervix open during the examination. Then, they will rinse out your cervix to make it easier to see. The magnifying lens will not touch you. It's set slightly away from your body. You may feel some discomfort during the procedure, but ask if you can take an ibuprofen or naproxen beforehand to ease any pain. If the doctor decides that something doesn't look quite right, they may want to gather a sample of tissue to be sent to the lab. This part may hurt a little. You might feel a cramp or a pinching sensation.  You may experience a little spotting for a few days after the biopsy. Combined with the colposcopy, the procedure shouldn't last more than 10 minutes. This procedure, the Loop Electro-Surgical Excision Procedure, can be done by your gynecologist. They will give you local anesthesia and will then use a wire to remove some tissue from your cervix. The wire is hot so it may cause some pain after the procedure. However, you shouldn't feel it during the process. After this is done, you may have discharge for several weeks.

Many fears are based in false beliefs or catastrophic thinking. When you see a spider, you may immediately have a belief that says that the spider will harm you, and that you will die. Identify these patterns of thinking, and start to question them. Do some online research and understand your actual risk versus perceived risk. Recognize that the worse-case scenario is highly unlikely. Begin to re-structure your thoughts to not engage in catastrophic thinking, and start to talk back to those thoughts. When your fear arises, pause and reflect on your actual risk. Talk back to your negative thoughts or false beliefs and say, “I recognize that some dogs are vicious, but the vast majority of dogs are gentle. It is unlikely I will get bitten.” After you have confronted your false beliefs, begin to expose yourself to the fear. Oftentimes we're afraid of something because we haven't been exposed to it very much. "Fear of the unknown" is a commonly used phrase to describe the automatic aversion people feel to something that's different.  If you're afraid of dogs, start by looking at a badly drawn doodle of a dog done in silly colors. Look at it until you feel no fear response. Then, look at a photo of a dog, then a video of a dog. Examine it until no fear response exists. Go to a park where you know one or a few dogs will be on-leash and watch them until you feel no fear. Go to a friend’s house who has a dog and watch him interact with a dog until no fear response is elicited. Ask a friend to let you touch or pet his dog while the dog is restrained by your friend until you feel neutral. Finally, be near a dog and spend one-on-one time with a dog. The power to label your emotions is beneficial for self-understanding and emotional intelligence. It also appears that engaging with a fear and verbalizing your fear has incredible power to help you overcome fears and regulate emotions. Researchers had spider-fearful individuals exposed to a spider, and participants that labelled their fears (“I feel very scared of this spider”) had a lower fear response the following week when exposed to a different spider. Running from fears never improves the way you feel about a fear. Next time you experience a fear, verbally engage the fear, using words that describe your fear and anxiety. When your body experiences fear, lots of triggers ready your body for a “fight-or-flight” action response. Learn to override this response by counteracting with relaxation techniques. Relaxation tells your body that there is no danger and that you are safe. Relaxation can also help you cope with other stress and anxiety in your life.  Try deep breathing exercises. Focus on your breath, and start counting each breath: four seconds inhale, then four seconds exhale. Once this is comfortable, elongate your breath to six seconds. If you notice your muscles tensing, be conscious to relax them. One way to do this is to clench all the muscles in your body for three seconds, then relax them.  Do this two or three times to melt stress throughout your body.

The peak of the glide swing is the moment when your body stops moving forward and begins to swing back. You are preparing to fold your body for the pike-up, so pulling your stomach back into a scooped position makes it easier to pull your legs up. As your body swings back, quickly lift your feet so that they point upward.  Your torso should be about parallel to the floor when you do your pike-up so that your hips are bent at about a 90-degree angle. Keep your legs together in a pike position while you lift them upward. At the end of your pike-up, your toes should touch the bar.  This is the end of the pike-up, so from this position, you will finish the kip with a pull-up. Remember to keep your legs and feet squeezed together in the pike position to maintain speed and safety.
