Article: If you're nervous, you may feel overwhelmed. Push through the anxiety and pay attention to their response. Try not to color their response with your own emotions. Let them speak as long as they need to, and pay attention. Active listening shows your friend that you really do care about them. Give them the courtesy to speak because you love them, even if their answer is disappointing. Your best friend may worry that you are only interested them romantically. If you do care for this person, show them that this isn't the case. Tell them that you appreciate their honesty and care about them a lot. Regardless of the answer, avoid questioning it. If they say they love you, tell them how you feel. If they do not, avoid making them feel bad or guilty. After they answer, you may feel overwhelmed if they say no. Remember to practice beforehand to avoid freezing. Once you've finished the conversation, continue developing your relationship. If your friend likes you, decide how you want your relationship to change. If they don't, stay in touch and remain their friend.  After you ask, you may feel uncomfortable around them. It might take time for both of you to process this conversation. Give them time and space alone, if needed. Sometimes asking can change the relationship in unintended ways. Romantic feelings are tricky, and your relationship might not be what it was before again. Prepare yourself beforehand, and know it's a risk you must take.

Listen to their response. Thank them for sharing, no matter the answer. Respect their decision. Continue nurturing your relationship.
Article: Many cold sore sufferers know that an outbreak is coming before the actual blister appears. The symptoms vary for individual sufferers, so it may take a few outbreaks before you learn what yours are. When you know a cold sore is coming, you can use a treatment to stop it in its tracks.  Pay attention to tingling sensations or pain on your lips. The majority of sufferers report a "funny feeling" in the area a few days before the sore develops. If you get a sore throat, swollen glands and fever, you may be about to get a cold sore. Some people experience an increased amount of saliva or drooling before a cold sore forms. When you feel a cold sore coming on, fill a plastic sandwich bag with ice and wrap a dish towel around it. Apply ice to the area where you feel a cold sore forming for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Repeat the application every hour. Cold sores require warmth and moisture to develop. Keeping the area cool may prevent the cold sore from forming. Soak a tea bag in hot water and allow it to cool. Apply the bag to your lip for three to five minutes every hour. Tea contains tannic acid, which is believed to possess antiviral properties. Many over-the-counter treatments for cold sores also contain tannic acid. Lemon balm is an herb in the mint family that has been shown to prevent cold sores from forming. When you feel the telling tingle of a cold sore coming on, apply a dab of lemon balm cream and let it soak into your skin. Reapply as necessary according to the instructions on the packaging.  Lemon balm cream is available in drugstores. If you grow your own lemon balm, try rubbing a fresh leaf over the area. Lemon balm has also been shown to help cold sore outbreaks go away faster. It is safe to apply to open sores. Lysine is an amino acid that effectively prevents cold sores from forming. It stops the herpes virus from growing when applied to the skin. It can also be applied to open sores to help them heal more quickly. Look for lysine cream with a 70:1 concentration. You can find lysine cream over-the-counter at drug stores. Apply according to the instructions on the packaging. Propolis is a resin produced by bees. It contains antioxidants and boosts immune function. Studies show that propolis stops the herpes virus from reproducing. Applying propolis ointment when you feel your skin start to tingle may prevent an outbreak from occurring. Peppermint oil is thought to have properties that prevent exposed herpes particles from entering new cells. If you already have a cold sore, applying peppermint oil may help prevent it from spreading to another area on your lips. Peppermint oil may also help the erupted sore heal more quickly.

Recognize the signs that a cold sore is forming. Treat the area with ice. Treat it with a tea bag. Try lemon balm cream. Use a product containing lysine. Try propolis ointment. Apply peppermint oil.
Article: Simply put: Anytime you multiply by a number with zeros on the end (like 120 x 160), you add the number of zeros to the end of the product.120 x 160 becomes:  12 * 16 = 192  Place the two zeros on the end (One from 120 and another from 160)  = 19,200 Start with a one digit times two digit multiplication problem   Remind the child that the units column has already been multiplied.  Tell the child that when you multiply the units column by the tens column it's like multiplying something with a zero on the end.   Do not continue until the child can manage any problem of this type (1 x 2)! Continue with a two digit times two digit (2 by 2) multiplication problem. Most children have no idea why their teacher skips a space on the second line of "conventional" long multiplication.   Mark the two multiplications (which will look like a big X).  Show the child that this is like multiplying by 100.  Have the child place zeros in the two right columns and place the product to the left. Put it together with unit times two digit (1 by 2) multiplication Have the child compare this to carrying in addition. The child should become proficient at this before proceeding. Complete the process of (2 by 2) multiplication.  Remind the child of the zero in the right column. This would be a good time to tell the child that the zero in the right hand column is not necessary, but it won't hurt if they leave it.

Make sure the child already knows the basic multiplication tables. Teach the child how to handle multiples of ten; we see this as zeros on the end of a number. Place column lines on the paper and make sure the digits are properly placed. Multiply the Units column and place the answer in the correct columns. Before multiplying the Units column by the Tens column, discuss the implications. Place a zero (0) in the units column underneath the first answer. Multiply the Units column by the tens column and place the answer to the left side of the zero (it will be underneath the first answer). Have the child add the numbers together. Have the child complete the problem with the bottom tens digit hidden (at first). Remind the child that he/she placed a zero in the right column before multiplying a unit column by a tens column. Reveal the hidden digit and show the child that he/she will be multiplying a unit by a tens digit again. Again, have the child place a zero(0) in the right hand column and answer the units x tens multiplication to the left of the zero. Discuss multiplying the tens by the tens column. Have the child do the addition to finish the problem. This time, instead of writing the tens digit (from the unit x unit product) under the line, write it ABOVE the tens digit column. Have the child do the units times tens multiplication; have the child add the carried number to the product and write the number to the left of the units digit already present. Place a tens digit in the lower factor and have the child cross out any carrying that has already taken place. Have the child treat the tens digit like the other one times two digit work. Have the child finish by doing the addition.
