Q: Many commercial pesticides can be used against bed bugs, but you must make sure that the pesticide you choose is specifically labeled for bed bug use. Many general pesticides or those used for other insects, like ants or wasps, are not effective against bed bugs.  Choose a pesticide geared toward use in a specific location for the strongest results. In general, there are pesticides used to treat the outdoors, mattresses, the whole home, a whole room, and cracks or surfaces. There are also certain active ingredients that are commonly found in pesticides used against bed bugs. These include bifenthrin, boric acid, cold pressed neem oil, deltamethrin, tetramethrin, and propoxur, among others. When possible, purchase a product that has been registered with the EPA. These products have been officially tested for effectiveness. There are not general instructions that apply to all pesticides; you must follow the instructions provided on the label of the specific pesticide you choose.  Never use an outdoor pesticide indoors. Using a pesticide incorrectly could be dangerous for your health. It may also prove ineffective against the bed bugs. Only throw the instructions away once the pesticide has been completely used up. Save the instructions as long as some of the chemical remains inside the container. If commercial, home-use pesticides fail, call a professional. The chemicals used by professional exterminators are often more powerful, and the techniques used to apply those chemicals are also more thorough and expertly performed. Find out from the exterminator if he or she wants you to prepare your home in any particular way before fumigation occurs. The exterminator may have you discard bedding or fabrics that are damaged beyond repair or remove anything that can be harmed by the chemicals being used.
A: Find the right pesticide. Follow the instructions carefully. Call an exterminator.

Q: Shy people are often quiet people, especially in the beginning of a new relationship. Don’t worry if she doesn’t seem bubbly or talkative all the time.  Many shy people are also naturally introverted, which means they enjoy quiet in general. They don’t have to talk, be entertained, or have music blasting in order to enjoy your company. They simply like being with you! Chances are, she REALLY likes you, but shy people often have a hard time expressing those feelings right away. Being in a relationship can be a big, hard step for a shy or introverted person who usually prefers to be alone, so take the quiet and her company as huge compliments! Shyness goes away once the shy or introverted person feels more comfortable and open around you. Depending on how much time you spend together, this can take a few weeks or a few months, so just be patient.  The more time you spend together, the faster her shyness will go away and she will have an easier time talking to you. People who are shy, quiet, or introverted also need alone time and tend to be independent, so be sure to give her space if and when she needs it. Even after she gets to know you and feel more open with you, your shy girl will probably still feel shy in new, busy environments. She probably won’t enjoy a big party every weekend or want to spend the summer at big music festivals with thousands of people in attendance.  Try planning several intimate dates that involve just the two of you, like a picnic in a quiet park, a candlelight dinner at home, a trip to a museum, or a walk on a beach. You don’t always have to skip out on crowded, action-packed events, just try not to overwhelm her with them all the time. If you really like this girl, there’s a good chance you’ll want to introduce her to your loved ones as quickly as possible, and they’ll be anxious to meet her, too. However, for a shy person, meeting family and friends can be scary.  She’ll have a much easier time with your family and friends once she’s had plenty of time to spend with just you. When the time is right, introduce her to your family and friends in small doses. Begin with a quiet dinner with your parents. Then maybe a beach day with one or two of your closest friends. Expand from there. Shy people struggle less in social environments when there are less people to focus on at any given time. If you feel unsure about timing, just ask her directly if she feels ready to start meeting your loved ones. As your relationship progresses and you reach big milestones, like moving in together, getting engaged, or even getting married, she may get shy all over again because the situation will feel new to her.  For example, if you’ve just moved in together, she might close the bathroom door to shower or brush her teeth, she might listen to music through her headphones, or go outside to talk to her mom. This shyness will only last while she adjusts to the new situation. It won’t last forever. Don’t take her renewed shyness personally. Moving forward with you means she’s committed.
A: Embrace her quiet. See her shyness as a compliment. Take your time building the relationship. Plan dates that involve quieter settings. Slowly introduce her to your friends and family. Expect the shyness to reappear periodically.

Q: Before working your wrist muscles, warm them up by performing unweighted wrist movements. These could include hand circles and wrist flexions and extensions. This helps gradually loosen the wrist area and prepares you for training your wrists. Doing wrist stretches is an important part of working up to any strength training routine that you want to integrate into your overall fitness. Especially if you've got small or "weak" wrists, it's a good idea to stretch things out before you get started.  Get on your hands and knees and place your hands flat on the ground with your fingers pointing back toward your body. Keep your arms straight and locked and stretch your wrists gently. Don't force them. Count to fifteen. When you get comfortable with that stretch, try to extend your legs out behind you and bring your hips down to the ground while pushing your torso up by fully extending your arms with your palms flat on the floor. In yoga, this is called the "cobra pose" and it can be very effective at stretching your wrists. Building strength takes time, which means you need to be patient. You're not going to do a couple exercises and wake up tomorrow to some big meat-claws at the end of your arms. The name of the game is consistency, not speed. Commit to a training routine and start doing it consistently, without taking a day off because you just don't feel like it. Have patience and work for stronger wrists.
A: Warm up your wrists. Stretch out your wrists. Be patient.

Q: Use white construction paper cut in circles and color in the moon phases with markers or use halves of styrofoam balls glued to posterboard to make a 3D representation. Color in the foam balls with a black marker to show the waxing and waning of the moon phases. This is vital to being able to create an accurate chart. There are eight main phases of the moon, each lasting roughly 3.5 days. The phase of the moon depends upon the way in which the moon is positioned in relation to the sun and earth at any given time. The eight phases are:  New moon Waxing crescent First quarter Waxing gibbous Full moon Waning gibbous Last quarter Waning crescent Different positions of the moon relative to the earth and sun produce the visible phases of the moon. The moon phases chart is designed to describe the visibility of the moon at different points as it orbits the earth. By placing Earth in the center of your chart, you keep this concept in perspective. The sun is typically placed on the right side of the chart. This is important, because the moon phase depends upon the moon’s relation to both the earth and the sun. If you place the sun to the left of the earth, you would have to move all of the moon phases to match this new position. The relationship of these three bodies is important, but the actual determination of right or left side is arbitrary. The earth orbits the sun and the sun is never at a stationary “left or right” in relation to the earth.
A:
Make a 2D chart or a 3D chart. Know the phases of the moon. Place Earth in the center of your chart. Place the sun on your chart.
