Check everywhere, even in places that are hidden from you view like under the floor mats and seats. Look for any traces of moisture or mildew. Use your hand to feel around in places you can't see. Make sure they are mold free and are not moist when you touch them.  Let the automobile sit in the sun with the windows rolled down to dry out. Brush away any loose mold from the upholstery. When the A/C is running, water condenses and attracts dust, spores, pollen, and other germs. This later forms fungi and causes a mildew smell that can be treated.  Use an odor remover spray to treat your car's A/C every year. Spray the odor remover into the A/C vents to eliminate odors caused by stagnant water, bacteria, and mildew.

Summary: Inspect the interior of the car. Examine the upholstery on the front and back seats. Inspect the air conditioning system.


Although your behavior is certainly a big part of who you are, it isn't everything and doesn't point to everything you're capable of doing. Think about great artists, athletes, musicians, and business people who started out small and may have been rejected at first. Your sense of self doesn't need to depend entirely on your current or past behavior. Instead of taking criticism as a personal attack on your worth as a person, think of it as localized to the particular action being discussed. If you're being criticized for writing a bad essay, consider the fact that with practice you could write a better essay. Accept the criticism without over-generalizing. Be generous about the other person's intent. They may actually want to offer constructive criticism and help you do a better job in the future. After hearing them out, you can assess whether their intentions are good or if they're simply attacking you. If it's an attack, you can simply disregard what they're saying.  Avoid taking "good" criticism personally. Receiving constructive criticism is actually an important part of learning how to improve your abilities. For example, if you are taking an English class and the teacher points our an error in your writing, thank her for her input, which will help you become a better writer. Research shows that the ability to be vulnerable is tied to being successful and happy. Being willing to listen to criticism is an important form of vulnerability. If the criticism is targeted toward a specific behavior and you do see room for improvement, be thankful for the attention brought to your performance, so that you can correct the mistake. Criticism can actually contain gifts that lead to a better version of yourself, even if the person's intentions aren't kind. Be patient with yourself. Self-improvement can be a powerful force in your life, but self-compassion is an essential component to positive growth. Practice makes perfect, so consider this experience an opportunity to hone your criticism-handling skills. Thank the person for giving you an occasion to practice the behaviors listed in this guide. Only thank the person if it's genuine! Sarcasm may feel satisfying in the moment, but it's a hostile mode of communication that's frequently perceived as negative and can create additional friction between you.

Summary: Separate yourself from the criticism. Hear the person out. Do better next time. Use the experience to grow.


on the work surface for 5-8 minutes. Gather the dough in a pile on the surface, and push the heels of your hands forward into the dough. Continue this motion as you work your way around the dough, and fold it in half whenever it gets too thin.  Make sure that you wash your hands before you touch the dough. Stop kneading the dough when it is slightly springy. If you find that the dough sticks to your hands too much as you are kneading, add 1 tbsp (9 g) of flour at a time until it’s easier to work with.

Summary: Knead the dough


If your rates for international calls are sky high, consider alternatives to phone calls. If you have a computer and access to wi-fi, you can use websites like Skype and Google Hangouts to contact others through video chatting. This is a free alternative to making a potentially pricey phone call. If you dislike video chatting, Skype can also be used for phone calls. You can sign up for Skype's international calling service to make phone calls using the application. While it does cost money to make international calls using Skype, it's generally only a few cents a minute and, depending on your cell phone provider, may be much cheaper than calling with your phone. Many social media websites have instant messaging options. For example, you can talk to someone abroad via Facebook to save money on phone calls. Many e-mail providers, such as Gmail, have instant messaging options as well. Apps like WhatsApp allow you to send international text messages for free.
Summary: Try video call options. Make cheap phone calls using Skype. Make use of instant messaging.
