Clothing or equipment that rubs the ends of the tape can cause the ends to peel. To prevent this, wear clothing styles that do not interfere with the ends of the tape. If this is not possible, you could try taping your clothing to your skin in certain areas so that they do not come in contact with the tape. For example, you could tape your sleeves back if you are wearing kinesiology tape on your shoulders. Kinesiology tape can be worn for three to five days and you will likely get the tape wet at some point during that period. To dry the tape, simply pat it dry with a clean towel. Do not rub the tape, because this may cause the ends to peel. If at some point the ends of the tape begin to peel, you can simply trim off the peeling piece using a pair of scissors. Press down the remaining ends of the tape so that more peeling does not occur.

Summary: Prevent clothing and equipment from rubbing the ends. Pat tape with a towel to dry. Trim peeling ends with scissors.


Most bottles will be covered by a label and you may want to remove that label so that your message in a bottle is not mistaken for trash.  To remove the label, place the bottle in hot water and let it sit for at least one hour. The hot water will loosen the glue on the label and make it easy for you to peel the label off. You may need to scrape some of the glue off of the bottle. Fill the inside of the bottle with warm soapy water and cover the opening of the bottle with your hand. Gently shake the bottle up and down for at least 30 seconds to remove any substances from the inside of the bottle. Pour out the soapy water and rinse the inside of the bottle with warm water. Once you have removed the label and cleaned the inside, place the bottle upside down in a strainer and allow it to dry. It will take about one hour for the inside of the bottle to completely dry, depending on the temperature in the room. You can also allow the inside of the bottle to dry overnight.  To dry the inside of the bottle more quickly, place it in the oven on low heat at 150 °F (65.6 °C) for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Be cautious when removing the bottle from the oven and allow it to cool off before continuing with the process.   Another alternative for drying the inside of the bottle is rolling up a paper towel lengthwise and placing it inside of the bottle. Be sure to leave a portion of the paper towel on the outside of the bottle so that it can be easily removed.

Summary: Remove the label (optional). Clean the bottle. Dry the bottle.


If you are a high school student who would like to pursue an undergraduate degree in nutrition, you should see if your school offers nutrition courses or courses on public health. Many public high schools offer classes on nutrition education and diet. Ask your school's guidance counselor if there are any applicable classes you can take at your school that you can take to better prepare you for your undergraduate degree. Many universities and colleges have a public health sciences department that offers a Bachelor’s degree in nutrition or nutritional studies, as well as dietetics. Look for programs that offer a four year program with an internship or hands-on experience in the field. Most Bachelor programs offer Didactic Programs in Dietetics (DPD) or Coordinated Dietetics Programs (CDP).  Some Bachelor’s programs allow you to focus on specific areas in nutrition, such as nutrition and dietetics management, comprehensive nutrition, sports nutrition, human nutrition, and community nutrition. A list of the top undergraduate nutrition degree programs can be found here: http://www.publichealthonline.org/nutrition/degree-programs/. When you are researching Master’s degrees in nutrition or nutritional science, you should consider the program’s rate of employment for graduating students and if the program offers any financial support or funding for incoming graduate students.  Master’s programs focus on the particular sciences associated with nutrition, including food science, biochemistry, physiology, dietetics, food and nutrition studies, biophysics, biotechnology, and clinical sciences. A list of the top Master’s programs in nutrition can be found here: http://www.thebestschools.org/blog/2012/09/06/10-master-nutrition-degree-programs/. Once you decide on the programs you are going to be applying for, you should complete the application process according to the requirements listed on the program’s website. Most Bachelor’s and Master’s programs have a detailed application process that you can complete online. Take note of the deadline for your applications and plan to complete them accordingly.  Most Bachelor programs require your high school transcripts and a 3.0 or higher GPA. Most Master’s programs require your undergraduate transcripts, two to three letters of reference from individuals who are familiar with your academic and professional background, and a personal statement of intent. Some programs also suggest that you complete pre requisites at the undergraduate level in chemistry, biology, and physiology in a lab, as well as introductory courses in nutrition, biochemistry, and statistics. However, they are not required for all programs and many programs allow you to do these prerequisites as part of your Master’s degree. If you complete your Bachelor’s degree in nutrition, you will have these prerequisites already. Some Master’s programs in nutrition also require you to complete your Graduate Record Exam (GRE) in order to apply to the program. If your native language is not English, you will also need to complete a TOFL exam for some programs. The cost of tuition for Bachelor’s programs in nutrition will vary according to the institution, as most Bachelor’s programs have standard tuition costs for all four year undergraduate programs. This can vary from $50,000 to $65,000 total. The cost of tuition for Master’s programs will also vary according to the institution, but it is suggested that you look for programs that offer a level of funding or financial assistance. This could be in the form of Graduate Assistantships, Fellowships, scholarships, or a work study program.

Summary: Take high school classes in nutrition, if available. Research institutions that offer a Bachelor degree in nutrition. Look at institutions that offer a Master’s degree in nutrition. Complete the application. Be prepared for the cost of tuition.


Pick a specific day to profile a person. Observe their speech patterns and hand motions throughout the day. Does this behavior match up with how the person usually acts? If so, you can profile that the individual is in a normal mood, and not behaving any differently than they normally would.  For instance, if an expressive person starts hiding their hands in a conversation, you can profile that they aren’t being completely honest or open. Try to identify large changes in a person’s speech. If they start speaking casually to someone they usually use formal language with, you can assume that the person is in a friendly mood, or that they are becoming friends with the other individual. Watch how the person carries themselves throughout the day. Observe your profiling target when they’re moving as well as when they’re standing still. If their posture seems sloppy or closed off, you can profile the person as upset or uncomfortable, depending on the circumstance. If the person seems confident and relaxed, you can profile that the individual in question feels comfortable.   Posture can also be situational in different conversations. If a person is speaking with someone that they don’t like, their posture will reflect that. For instance, a person will lean away from someone that they’re not close or friendly with. Watch your profiling target as you speak with them, or as they speak with others. Pay attention to their eye movement as the conversation continues. Is the person able to maintain firm and comfortable eye contact, or is their gaze fleeting and downcast? If an individual isn’t willing to make eye contact, you can profile that they’re nervous and uncomfortable in the conversation. If a person can’t make consistent eye contact, it might mean that they’re hiding something. Speak with the person that you’re profiling, and take note of their intonation as they reply. Does the person speak in a normal, relaxed tone of voice? Note if your profiling target is mumbling, or if their speech seems more stiff and irritated than usual. Then, try drawing conclusions based on these different vocal cues. For instance, if a person’s voice sounds rigid, they might be irritated or uncomfortable with some aspect of the conversation.
Summary: Compare someone's words and gestures to their baseline behaviors. Examine their physical movement and posture for deviations. See if the person is willing to make eye contact. Listen for any differences in their tone of voice.
