Fill your coffee maker with cool filtered water and place coffee grounds in the filter basket. Don't forget to put a filter in the basket if your machine doesn't use a metal mesh filter. Turn the machine on to brew your coffee. While you can brew as much coffee as you like, try to use the following coffee to water ratio: 2 tablespoons (10.6 g) of ground coffee for every 6 ounces (177 ml) of water. If you're using chocolate syrup, pour about 1 1/2 ounces (45 ml) of chocolate syrup into the mug you'll be serving the mocha in. If you're using a sweetened cocoa powder, place about 3 tablespoons (22 g) of the powder into the mug you'll be using for the mocha. If you're unsure how sweet you like your mocha, prepare the mocha using less chocolate. If you find that you'd like it sweeter, you can drizzle chocolate syrup or sprinkle chocolate powder over the top. Pour a cup of milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat on the stove. You should see small bubbles start to line the sides of the pan when the milk is hot enough. Avoid boiling or scalding the milk. This would make your mocha taste bitter. You can also heat the milk in the microwave. Pour your milk into the mug that contains the chocolate and microwave for at least a minute. Fill the mug only 2/3 full so that you have room to add your drip coffee. Pour hot drip coffee over the chocolate syrup or powder in your mug. You can add as much coffee as you like, keeping in mind that if you add mostly coffee, you won't have much room for the hot milk. Stir this mixture to dissolve the chocolate and slowly pour in the milk. If you like a creamier mocha, only fill your mug about 1/3 of the way with coffee before filling it the rest of the way with hot milk. If you'd like foam on top of your mocha, use a battery powdered milk frother. Pour additional hot milk into a separate mug that has high sides. The milk should only come about 1/3 of the way up the side. Insert the foamer and steam the milk until it becomes a thick foam. Scoop this foam on top of your...

Fill your new orchid pot with the potting mix, then dump it into a container about twice its size. To prepare orchid potting mix, you'll need to soak it in water overnight. This will help it retain enough moisture to sustain the orchid. Go ahead and fill the bucket or bowl to the top with hot water. Don't use cold water, since the potting materials won't absorb this as well. Be sure the soil is at room temperature before repotting the orchid. You can use a strainer that you'd normally use for food (you'll want to clean it well afterward) or a large piece of cheesecloth. Drain out all the water so that all you're left with is wet potting mix. Run more warm water over the mix to rinse out any dust. Carefully lift the orchid from its old pot, loosening each root individually. If the roots are stuck to the pot, use sterilized scissors or knife to help free them. It's important to use very clean equipment, because orchids are prone to getting diseases. You can sterilize your trimming tools by wiping them with rubbing alcohol on a rag. Use your fingers and a clean pair of scissors to carefully clean up the roots. Pick out the old mix - charcoal, wood chips, moss, and so on - and discard it. Use the scissors to clip away rotten or dead roots, taking care not to damage any healthy plant matter.   Roots that are soft and limp are probably dead, so go ahead and remove them. Untangle the roots carefully by easing them apart with your fingers. If you're using a pot that you've used before for orchids, clean and sterilize it with boiling water to get rid of toxins and kill potential disease vectors. If the pot is large and deep, line it with broken pieces of terracotta or packing peanuts to help with drainage. If you're using a shallow pot, this step isn't necessary.

Fill your pot with approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water. Stir in ¾ cup (177 g) of kosher salt until it’s thoroughly combined. Next, allow the pot to come to a full, rolling boil.  If you’re cooking the fish on an outdoor fire, throw additional logs on the wood to feed the flames if the pot isn’t boiling. If you’re cooking on the stove, the heat should be set at high. Take a piece of cheesecloth, and create a seasoning packet with equal parts bay leaves, whole allspice, and peppercorns in equal proportions that is approximately half the size of golf ball. Add it to the water and allow it to boil for 2 to 3 minutes. You can add any spices or seasonings that you like, such as fresh rosemary or thyme, to the packet. Arrange the fish in a wire basket, and submerge it in the pot. Wait for the water to return to a boil, which may take 2 to 3 minutes, and then allow the fish to boil until you can flake it easily with a fork, which should take approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Once the fish flakes easily and is ready to be removed from the pot, take a moment to skim the froth from the surface of the water with a spoon so the fish won’t pass through it when you remove it. Lift the basket from the pot and drain carefully. If you don’t use a wire basket for the fish, remove the individual pieces from the pot with a slotted spoon, shaking carefully to ensure that they’re fully drained.

Salt the water and bring it to a boil. Add the seasonings to the water and boil for several minutes. Place the fish in the water and boil for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Skim the froth and remove the fish.


Fill your slow cooker at least 1/2 full with sliced onions and add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil or butter for every 1 pound (450 g) of onions. Put the lid on the cooker and turn it to low. Slow-cook the onions for 10 hours so the onions brown and soften. If you remember, you can stir the onions occasionally to help them cook evenly, but it's fine if you simply leave them to cook without stirring.

Filler primers are formulated to smooth out small scratches and cracks in plastic parts. Depending on the product instructions, you may need to apply multiple layers of the primer to achieve the desired effect.  Filler primers can be found with other spray primers and paints. Look for one specifically formulated for automotive uses, if possible. No filler primer can make deep scratches or cracks disappear, but they may become less noticeable. Filler primers won't work on flexible materials like vinyl or fabric. This can be particularly useful for vinyl components, as it will help the spray paint adhere to the slick, flexible material. Look for it alongside other automotive primer sprays.  You can use this for plastic parts as well, if you don't need a filler primer. Don't use a primer of any type on fabric before painting it. A sheltered spot with lots of airflow but minimal wind is ideal for spray priming and painting. Try a garage with all the doors and windows open, for instance. And always wear a breathing mask while spray painting to reduce your intake of fumes and particles. Also put down drop cloths, pieces of cardboard, or other protection against overspray. Follow the instructions on the can. Generally speaking, though, you'll shake the can for 1 minute; hold the can 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) from the object; and spray in bursts over the surface of the object, keeping the can in motion as you spray.  Don't hold the can in one spot, or you'll end up with splotches or bubbles on the surface. Apply 1, 2, or more coats as directed. For multiple coats, wait the recommended time between applications (usually 5-15 minutes).

Choose a filler primer for plastic components with scratches in them. Use an adhesion promoter primer for maximum hold. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask. Apply 1-2 thin primer coats with quick bursts of spraying.


Fillers are substances that can be injected into the skin to fill in wrinkles and stimulate the production of skin-plumping collagen. Filler treatments may last anywhere from six months to a couple of years. Common fillers include:  Radiesse, a filler made from tiny calcium beads (lasts about 18 months) Sculptra, a synthetic lactic acid (lasts about 2 years) Hyaluronic acid, a filler with shorter-term effects that last for about 6 months Laser treatments can significantly improve the appearance of wrinkles, and the effects may last for several years. Laser resurfacing comes in a couple of different forms: nonablative (which is relatively gentle and superficial) and ablative (which removes the top layers of your skin). While laser resurfacing is very effective at treating deep wrinkles, the treatments are painful and may require a few days of recovery time. Redness on your face can have a lot of different causes, ranging from sun damage or allergies to infection. Depending on the underlying cause of the redness, you may be able to treat it with an antibiotic ointment (such as MetroGel or Sulfacet) or a medication that reduces immune reactions, like Elidel. Consult with a dermatologist to determine the cause of the redness, and come up with a treatment plan. KTP laser therapy and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments are both effective at reducing redness caused by clusters of blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They can also be used to treat discoloration caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, or injuries to the skin. You may need to do several treatments of KTP laser therapy or IPL therapy over the course of a few weeks to get the desired result. Chemical peels can improve a wide array of skin issues, including wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, sun damage, and mild scarring. If you would like to achieve a fresher, more even skin tone, consider getting a chemical peel.  Take care to protect your face from the sun after a chemical peel, as your skin’s sensitivity to the sun will be temporarily...

Filling up the shoe will fill out the shoe and make it easier to apply the patch. This method is best used on softer-material shoes, like suede or sheepskin boots or shoes. The fabric patch that you use on the shoe will be visible on the outside, so get a fabric that matches your shoes existing style. You can buy fabric online or at a craft store. Buy enough fabric so that you can fully cover the size of the hole.  You can purchase fabric that almost matches the color of your shoes if you don't want the patch to be as noticeable. Good fabrics to use include tartan, leather, and suede. You can also purchase fabric that contrasts with the current color of your shoes for a unique fashion statement. Cut a rectangular or square piece of fabric to cover the hole. Depending on the location of the hole, you may want to adjust the size of the patch so that it doesn’t look awkward on the shoe.  For example, if the hole is on the toe of the shoe, use a patch that covers the entire toe rather than a small patch that just covers the hole. If you want your shoes to match, cut out 2 pieces of fabric so that you can apply a patch to your other shoe, even if it doesn’t have a hole. Adjust the placement of the patch and make sure that it looks straight before you sew it in place. You may also want to recut the piece of fabric if you don't like the way it looks on your shoe. If you are placing a patch on both shoes, make sure that their placement is identical. Put a damp cloth over the patch on the shoe, then hold a steam iron over the patch for 5-10 seconds. Repeat this 3-4 times to flatten out the edges of the patch and make it adhere to the form of your shoe or boot. the patch onto the shoe. Pierce a needle and thread through the patch and into the shoe. Then thread the needle up out of the shoe and through the patch.

Film festivals are often organized around a theme or series. For example, you could watch all of the movies in the ‘’Rocky’’ franchise, view a selection of films starring Marilyn Monroe, or watch all of the animated shorts nominated for an Oscar last year. Once you’ve settled on a theme, select the films, create a schedule, and invite your friends. Don’t forget to buy popcorn! Throughout the summer, you and your friends can train for and compete in your very own olympics. You can adapt the traditional events to the space you have access to, the equipment you own, and the number of people participating.

Financial advisors work in several different areas. There are a number of different professional certifications or licenses financial advisors may have. Once you know the path you want to follow, you'll know which certifications or licenses you need or want.  Licenses and certifications can get expensive if you get more than one, and multiple licenses or certifications may not improve your value as a financial advisor. Choose what you want to do wisely. For example, if you most enjoy complex global transactions and international investment opportunities, you might want to get licensed as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). If you plan to work for an insurance company, you typically must be licensed as an insurance agent. The CFP is one of the more flexible certifications available for financial advisors. In some countries, you can't work with the public as a financial advisor without this certification.  This designation doesn't allow you to actually buy and sell investment products – it is solely a professional credential. You may need additional licenses, depending on the type of work you want to do as an advisor. To get a CFP, you must have a four-year degree, three years of work experience, and take a two-day, 10-hour exam. You can take preparatory classes for the exam through a university, or take a self-study course on your own. The CFA primarily prepares you to handle large global investment portfolios or to be a financial research analyst.  To be eligible for a CFA, you must have at least a bachelor's degree and four years experience as a financial advisor. The CFA is offered by the CFA Institute, which offers a self-study program split into three phases, with a six-hour exam at the end of each phase. To get the charter, you must become a regular member of the CFA Institute. The CFA is a globally recognized career distinction that will help you stand out in the competitive financial advisor market. It also gives you a shot at a job with major investment firms, such as Merrill Lynch and JPMorgan...

Financial modeling typically involves using Microsoft Excel to forecast and analyze a company’s earnings and performance. If you’re not already an advanced user, start by improving your Excel skills. Search online for video tutorials and lists of shortcuts and formulas. It might be helpful to enroll in an introductory course on Excel if you don’t have any experience with it. In order to create financial models, you’ll need to understand financial statements and the data they contain. At the very least, you’ll need to understand the 3 basic financial statements, which are:   A balance sheet, which is the overall snapshot of a business’s finances. It balances a company’s assets (things of value) with its liabilities (debt) and equity (the owner’s share or earnings). The 2 sides must always be balanced: liabilities plus equity must always equal assets.  A profit and loss statement measures sales and expenses within a given time period. To calculate gross profit, subtract the cost of goods sold (COGS, or how much it costs to create products) from total revenue. To calculate net profit, subtract the total operating expenses (all overhead costs, such as utilities, insurance, marketing, and legal fees) from gross profit.  A cash flow statement, which compares how much money is going in and out of the business. Cash inflow includes sales revenue, loans, and investments. Cash outflow includes equipment purchased, inventory, and expenses. There are plenty of free step-by-step modeling guides on YouTube and other services. Set aside 1 to 2 hours of distraction-free time to watch a tutorial. Since building a financial model is time consuming and involves a lot of details, most video guides are at least 30 to 60 minutes long.  Look for tutorials that fit your needs. For instance, search for “introduction to financial modeling” or “scenario modeling basics” if you want to project your small business’s earnings and operations. You could also focus on other applications, such as investment banking modeling, real estate...

Financing a modular home is a little different than financing a traditional house because you need to buy the land and pay the modular home builder in full before the construction is complete. If you don't have the funds to pay for the house in cash, you will need to apply for a construction loan, which is a short-term loan that gives you the money you need to pay for the construction of your house. Once the house is built, you will be able to switch over to a traditional mortgage.  Unlike manufactured homes, modular homes do not depreciate, so getting a loan from a bank should not be an issue. Many banks offer construction loans with great rates. Some modular building companies offer their own financing, which many customers find more convenient than having to shop around for bank loans. Always ask building companies if they offer these options, but make sure the interest rate and fees are comparable to those being offered by banks before you agree to it. Whether you get your construction loan through a bank or through the construction company, make sure you understand if it will be automatically converted into a mortgage or if you will need to apply for a new mortgage after the home is built. Applying for a second loan will typically mean more fees. It's a good idea to take out a loan for a little more than you expect to spend, just in case unexpected expenses come up. Keep in mind that you will be making payments on your construction loan before you are able to move in to your home, which means you may still be paying rent or mortgage payments for another house. Be sure you can afford this before you commit to taking out the loan. Modular home builders often do not provide any on-site construction services, so you may have to hire a general contractor to complete the building process for you. Hiring an experienced, reliable general contractor will make the process easy and stress-free for you.  It is essential to hire a general contractor who has a lot of experience in working with modular homes, as they...

Find a balance between passivity and aggression. Assert your feelings and needs while remaining open and sensitive to what he is saying and feeling as well. This will help you avoid things like frustration and resentment at not having your own needs met. You want to discover the reason behind his anger, but you want to protect yourself in the process. Some people prefer to avoid direct confrontation and choose to talk with a friend or family member, but if the person finds out you went behind his back, it could make him even more angry. The indirect approach is best considered as a backup plan. Being upfront is usually the best option. Being assertive in this manner will cultivate an honest relationship and you will gain the respect of the other person. This will help to establish common ground, since you are pointing to things that you can both experience as true, rather than personal feelings which can seem true for one person but not the other. Example: "You are not letting me finish my sentence" versus "Stop being so rude and cutting me off" This will give the disagreement a solid foundation, to which he can respond and share his feelings on what you have put out there. He may not agree with how you have framed the issue, but this will let him know where you stand and create the conditions for more in-depth dialogue. Important nonverbal considerations such as posture, eye contact, and a steady tone of voice will show the other person that you are receptive, but also firm in your convictions and self-respect. This will create an equal playing field, so that the person's angry temperament does not override your need to carve out space for yourself as well.

Find a clean, small clean bucket. The bucket needs to be deep enough so the hamster can't get back out, but shallow enough to not risk injury, put a clean blanket in the bottom to cushion it's fall. The bucket should be approximately 10" deep.  Make sure that the bucket you are using is tall enough so it can't escape.  Put a towel or shavings on the bottom to cushion your hamster when it falls in. You need to lure the hamster to the bucket. To do this, place fragrant food inside, such as peanut butter or apples. You also can put a toilet paper roll inside the bucket.  Put some cucumber inside so your hamster can stay hydrated, do not put a ceramic dish inside in case, it could injure itself in the fall. Pile a few books, CD cases, or DVDs to act as steps into a bucket. You can also make Lego stairs, use hamster tubes from the cage, or build a ramp with a piece of wood. The stairs should lead up to the rim of the bucket. Cover the top of the bucket with tissue paper. Your hamster will climb onto the paper and fall into the bucket. Leave a trail of treats or hamster food leading to the bucket, and then up the steps and into the bucket. Line the steps up to the top of the bucket, and a place a small pile of food on the paper. Don't put too much food on the steps leading to the bucket. You want to lure the hamster, not make it full so it won't investigate further. If you haven't narrowed the hamster's location down to a single room, place a bucket trap in each room. Similar to the bucket, use wax paper and a trashcan. Place wax paper or tinfoil over a trashcan. Do not fasten the paper or foil, simply rest it there. Lean a yardstick or ruler against the trashcan. This will allow your hamster to walk up the stick and onto the paper.  Make a line of food or treats up the ruler and place a few in the center of the paper or foil. Make sure to use a shallow trashcan. The hamster should not fall any farther than 10 inches.

Find a cushion with a tag. The tag should tell you what kind of solvent you can use on the couch. For instance, if it's machine washable, you can use water. However, if it's not, you may need to use something else, like alcohol or vinegar.  If your tag has a "W" you on it, you can clean it with water. If it has an "S," use something like vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or a commercial dry cleaning agent. If it has "S-W," you can use either one. A few might have the code "X," which means vacuuming and professional cleaning only.  If your couch doesn't have a tag, try cleaners in an inconspicuous place on the couch first. Whatever kind of couch you have, it's important to get spills up right away. Use a clean cloth to dab at the spill until you've picked up as much of the spill as you can. Crumbs and other debris sometimes fall into your couch. If you leave them on the couch, they might get crushed into the fabric when you go to spot clean it.  Use your furniture attachment on your big vacuum cleaner or a hand vacuum cleaner to clean the couch. Remove the cushions to get the crumbs underneath, as well. Vacuuming will also help with pet hair! Mix a few drops of dish soap with a cup of cool water. Dip a sponge in the mixture and wring it out. Dab at the stain or spill with the sponge for a few minutes until it's completely lifted.  Wash out the sponge and dab at the stain with just water. Don't rub the stain, as you could spread it around. Only use a steam cleaner if the fabric can be cleaned with water. Run the steamer over the stain to help loosen it up for cleaning. You can also use the steam setting on your iron if you prefer. Just don't get the iron too close, especially if you're not sure how much heat the fabric can take. If your couch has a "S" on the tag, you may be able to use these cleaners instead. Dip a cloth in either vinegar or alcohol and then dab at the stain until it disappears. Let the solution dry on the fabric.  Always test the product on a inconspicuous place first. Use a clear alcohol, like vodka...

Find a dresser that is suitable to make into a kitchen island. Overly long or very heavy dressers will make poor kitchen islands. Instead, look for something which is roughly the length and width of the area you want to occupy in your kitchen. If you want the island to be a different color when it's done, paint the dresser now as it will be more difficult to do once the top has been replaced. If the top of the dresser is too low, you can raise it to proper height by adding legs (if you want it stationary), wheels (if you want it mobile), or both (if you need more height than just wheels can provide).  Be sure to factor in any changes you will be making to the countertop, as adding a thicker countertop will also add height. How these legs and wheels are added will vary widely depending on the style of the dresser. Consult with a local expert for advice and be sure to follow any additional instructions included with the packaging of wheels or legs. If the back of the dresser is unsightly or damaged, replace it by cutting or having cut a custom-sized piece of MDF or particleboard. Carefully remove the old one and then nail the new one into place.  You can add usability to the back by painting it with chalkboard paint to create a blackboard for writing grocery lists or as doodle space for the kids. Another way to use the space would be to screw hooks or bars into and solid, stationary sections on the other side of the backing. These can be used to hang kitchen towels, paper towels, oven mitts, or kitchen tools. If you want to have a more food-prep friendly countertop, you can carefully remove the existing dresser top and replace it with a custom-sized countertop of your preferred material. If the existing top is fairly rectangular with clean, straight edges, you should be able to tile it easily. What you do will largely depend on your skills, needs, and preferences.

Find a friend who is also interested in learning RP English and practice with him or her.  In addition to engaging in conversation, you and your partner can spend time critiquing each other’s accents.  An extra pair of ears will help you recognize where your accent needs work and provide encouragement as your RP English improves. Your local community organization or university may offer conversation groups for English language learners.  There are few substitutes for actually using language skills.  Regular conversation with a variety of speakers will accustom you to hearing RP English spoken in different voices.  Interacting with others keeps you on your toes and helps you apply your new accent in real-world situations. Many online English language-learning resources offer opportunities to interact with RP English speakers.  Some of these resources are free, while others require a subscription.  Look for sites such as English Central, which allows you to upload videos of yourself speaking and then receive pronunciation feedback, or RhinoSpike, which allows you to request recordings by native speakers of texts you submit to the site.

Find a good hiding place to keep your purchase and only bring it out when your parents aren’t around or won’t notice. Try places with small openings, like underneath furniture.  Be careful not to choose a place that your parents might go to clean, pick up laundry, or otherwise have a reason to go from time to time like your closet, dresser drawers, or other storage areas. If the item you purchased is too big or hard to hide, consider keeping it at a friend’s house that you trust, and only using it there or carefully transporting it to your own house when you can. Also hide receipts or any other evidence of your purchase so your parents don’t come across them and ask about it.  You should still keep any receipts and packaging from the item you purchased and not throw them away, because you may need them later if you need to return or exchange it. If you ordered online, keep any packing receipts that came inside, but get rid of the other packaging by throwing it away where your parents won’t notice it. A trash can at school or a public place is better than one at home. If you purchased online, or if you did any other searching on the internet before or after buying, delete your history from your browser, particularly if you share a computer with your parents. Go into the settings or history tab on whatever internet browser you use and clear all the recent history of websites visited, or select and delete just the ones you don’t want your parents to come across. Take your item out of its hiding place only when your parents aren’t around or won’t catch you with it. Or use it, wear it, or look at it only when you’re at a friend’s house or at school. Make sure you have your purchase in a backpack or well concealed whenever you move it from place to place.

The teeth of the key won’t be the right size or dimension to move the pins, so the key won’t turn, but it’s important that it be able to slide inside. Locks and keys come in all different makes, but many keys will fit into a standard cylindrical home lock.  If you’re fashioning your own bump key, pick a key that you don’t use regularly. Try it out in a few cylinder locks to see if it fits before filing it to the right specifications. Lock bumping is such a potential problem because it can be performed with almost any key. Look at the key and observe the spacing of the teeth. At the bottom of each tooth is a flat area known as the “valley” that separates the teeth. In order to be able to disengage the pins of the lock, these valleys will need to be filed down all the way to the main shaft of the key. When it comes time to modify the key, be careful not to file the valleys too shallow or deep. If the spaces between the teeth are not at the right depth, the key will be useless. Use a manual file (a wedge or triangular shape will work best) to shave down the valleys between each tooth on the key. The key should have a jagged, zig-zag appearance when you’re finished. Once the valleys are as deep as they can be, the teeth will be long enough to push up the pins in the lock when the key is struck a certain way.  Locksmiths refer to keys that have been ground down to a serrated pattern with sharp, even peaks and valleys as “999 keys.”  Pre-cut bump keys can also be bought from unscrupulous vendors, but be warned: possession of a bump key is generally regarded as a cause for criminal suspicion by law enforcement. File each valley down to the same point along the shaft of the key. If the valleys at the front of the key are deeper than those in the back, the key won’t be able to slide into the lock. If the valleys in the back are deeper, you may have difficulty pulling the key out of the lock after bumping it. There should be a very small triangular...

Start with an ordinary key. Identify the position of the valleys in the teeth. File the valleys down to their lowest position. Make sure the teeth are level.


Find a large piece of cardboard about the thickness of a cereal box or the back of a notebook and trace the outline of your iPod onto it (leaving extra cardboard for later). Follow the contours of the bottom corners of the iPod. However, make sure the top corners aren’t blunted and round; instead, extend the line across the top of the iPod outwards and pull the straight lines along the sides of your iPod upwards to meet them so that the top corners come together in pointed, ninety-degree angles. Don’t worry if your tracing doesn’t perfectly hug the edges of the iPod; instead, leave a slight overhang on all sides to allow the iPod to fit inside. Place the cardboard on a cutting-friendly surface (ex. a cutting board or self-healing mat) and cut out the area of cardboard you just traced with a utility knife. Then, trace this cutout onto the cardboard and cut it out a second time, making sure the two are identical. When you’re done, test-fit them by sandwiching your iPod inside them. Make adjustments as necessary. The edging will cover the top, sides, and bottom of the iPod and will fit between the two face panels you’ve already cut out. You will need two separate edge strips: one for the top edge of the iPod and another for the sides and bottom:  Measure the length and width of the top edge. Cut out a strip of cardboard that is the same length as but about 1/16 of an inch wider than this edge. Don’t worry about accounting for the contours at the top corners; these won’t factor into this piece of edging. Measure the length and width of the two sides and bottom. Either fold a sewing tape measure around all three sides for a continuous measurement or hold a ruler in place, line the top of the cutout up with the 0 mark of the ruler, and roll the cutout along the ruler for a continuous measurement. Cut out a length of cardboard to size, extending its length slightly to account for the fact it will have to bend around the iPod. (You can always shorten it later.) With this design, the cover flap sits over the front...

Trace the outline of your iPod onto a piece of thin cardboard. Cut out front and back panels from cardboard. Cut out edge panels from the cardboard. Measure the length of the desired front flap. Cut out a rectangular panel to form the front flap of your iPod cover. Measure and mark the necessary openings on your cardboard cover panels if desired. Lay all the cardboard panels face-down and tape them together with scotch-tape. Duct-tape the panels together from top to bottom. Cut the marked openings out of the iPod panels. Fold the taped cardboard around the iPod. Holding it in place around the iPod, cover the cardboard shell with duct-tape. Cut the tape away from the openings in the cardboard. Attach a closing mechanism to your front flap if desired. Finished!


Find a long, open stretch of ice to practice on. Ideally, pick a time when there is not much skate traffic around you, so that you don't need to worry about colliding with other people. Make sure that there are no turns, holes, or other obstacles ahead of you. Put yourself in a space where you only need to focus on the act of stopping. If you are going to be stopping suddenly at high speeds, then safety is of the essence. This is especially the case if you are stopping in the midst of a high-intensity activity like a race or a hockey game. You can use hockey pads or non-ice skating pads – anything that will protect you from the ice! If nothing else, make sure to protect your head, your hands, your elbows, and your knees. Look online for videos of other people stopping on ice skates. Watch hockey games, speed-skating races, or figure-skating competitions on television to get a feel for the motion. There may be other tricks and styles of stopping that pertain to specific types of ice skating.

Try stopping on a straightaway. Consider wearing pads and a helmet. Watch videos.


Find a medium-sized potato and slice it in half. Coat the cut end with dish soap or environmentally friendly cleaning powder. The soap causes a chemical reaction that helps to remove the rust stain. Work the stain vigorously with the cut potato edge until the rust has been removed. Remember you need to apply a significant amount of force in order to effectively scrub away the rust.  If you need to reapply the potato, simply cut off the soapy edge and apply the dish soap to the new edge of the cut potato. A mixture of baking soda and water can be substituted for the dish soap if necessary. If the rust stain is small, you can simply leave the potato over the spot for a few hours. Use steel wool or a coarse cloth to make you have enough friction to remove the remaining stain. Give the tinware ample time to dry.

Cut a potato in half. Rub the cut potato edge over the rust or stain. Remove the potato and thoroughly clean the rust stain.


Find a mounting block; it’s hard to get on a horse from the ground, especially your first time riding. Stand to the left of your horse. Put the reins over your horse’s head; hold them with your left hand and grab a chunk of mane, too. Remember, horses don't have nerves in the area of their mane so you can't hurt them by holding onto it. Stand facing your horse, and put your left foot in the stirrup. Stand up off of your left foot and swing your right leg around. Try not to land on the horse’s back too hard. Put your right foot in the stirrup, and take the reins in both hands.get on the normal way. Make sure that the balls of your feet are in the stirrups. You should put your heels down throughout your ride to provide stability and balance. You should also make sure that your reins are not twisted; they should be in a straight line from your horse’s bit into your hands. Your instructor can also help you adjust your stirrups to make them longer or shorter. If you are riding a horse for the first time, you should definitely have an adult with you to supervise you. Whether you’re taking a riding lesson or going for a pony ride on a friend’s horse, you should always follow the directions of your instructor.  Make sure that you can hear your instructor, even from across the ring. Be sure to tell your instructor if you feel nervous, uncomfortable, or scared. This is normal, and your instructor can help you get over your fears. When you’re done riding, you will probably be asked to walk your horse for 10-15 minutes until it cools down. When its neck is about the same as the air temperature, you can dismount.

Mount your horse. Put your feet in the stirrups and your hands on the reins. Follow your instructor’s directions.


Find a neighborhood yard sale happening and "shop" early in the day, keeping track of the houses with the best stuff. Find out how long they'll be open and come back. Often, people tired of sitting outside and haggling over their old dinnerware all day will be in a more charitable mood. Obviously, don't assume you'll be getting anything for free, but you may be saving them a trip to Goodwill at the end of a long day. At the very least, this is a good way to get super-discounted merchandise. Instead of donating things to second-hand stores, some primarily upper-middle-class neighborhoods and communities have developed a vibrant "free pile" culture, in which you'll be able to find clothes, housewares, old books, and other things in boxes marked "Free" in front of the house. If you live in a college town, keep track of moving weekend. Cruising the student neighborhoods can be a great way to find stuff like beds, bookshelves, and desks. If you don't have any qualms about dumpster diving, keeping track of the waste habits of groceries and bakeries can be an effective and surprisingly safe way of acquiring food.  When a fridge breaks at the grocery store or too much day-old bread accumulates, stores tend to throw things away to avoid risking spoilage. Freegans are people who think of this as an overly cautious and wasteful practice, and choose to take the "garbage" in part as a statement of protest. If you want to dumpster dive, be very careful about "No Trespassing" signs. Some businesses get angry about people digging around in their garbage. In most MoneySaver free papers and classified sections, as well as on Craigslist, there's a running page of things being given away for free. You might find free puppies one day and free firewood the next, making it a somewhat unreliable way to find anything in particular, but it's always there and good to keep abreast of.

Hit up yard sales at the end of the day. Search for free piles. Explore "freegan" options. Befriend the "Absolutely Free" section.


Find a piece of cardboard. Using a pen or pencil, draw a plane body shape in the cardboard. The exact shape is up to you, but it should have a tail and a head. Use this image to give you a basic idea of what kind of shape you should make.  Rounded shapes work better than angular ones. You can use another stiff paper material like cardstock as well.

Find a place in your house that’s clean, organized and free from distractions. The space should be comfortable, but not so comfortable that you could easily fall asleep there.  Make sure you have all the resources you’ll need –all your books, assignments and stationery. If it helps you to have music playing as you work, work near a speaker. But choose instrumental music to avoid being distracted by focusing on the song lyrics instead of your assignments. Staying up all night is an endurance event, so you’ll need to fuel yourself accordingly. Make sure your fridge and pantry are stocked with food, water, milk and your favorite caffeinated beverage, like coffee, tea, energy drinks or soda.  Feed your body protein rich foods, like peanut butter sandwiches, turkey sandwiches or hummus and carrots. Stay away from sweets; the sugar will cause you to crash. If you’re staying up all night, you have a lot of work to do, but not all of it necessarily needs to be done by the next day. Make a list of all your assignments, then figure out which assignments are most pressing.  Put the biggest assignments that are due first near the top of the list. Put smaller assignments that you can complete quickly and easily near the bottom of the list. Try to do these towards the end of your night when you’re exhausted. Any assignment that isn’t due the next day should be completed on another night. Figure out what time you need to complete your work by. If you have school the next day, you’ll need some time in the morning to shower and prepare, so factor in an hour to get ready. Then work backwards and schedule out your night.  Approximate how long each assignment will take you and then block off an appropriate amount of time in your night to do the work. Schedule high priority assignments early in the evening, when you’re still at your best. Schedule in a ten minute break every two hours. Use this time to get up and walk around and give your brain a break. If you’re tired before starting your work, take a caffeine nap. Drink a cup...

Find a reputable company that sells genetic dog tests. They will send you a kit to help you test your DNA. Two of the major companies are Wisdom Panel and DNA My Dog.  While these tests can provide some information, they aren't foolproof. In fact, getting tests from two different companies may show a different mixture of breeds.  See if you can find out which company has the widest database of dog breeds on file and choose the company with the most breeds. They will have a wider reference range and will be better able to more accurately identify your dog. It's especially difficult to identify breeds if your dog has a larger number than other dogs; if your dog just has a couple of breeds, it may be easier to identify. The kit will come with two cotton swabs. All you do is rub it on the inside of your dog's cheek. Let them dry out, and stick them back in the envelope. Some websites, such as Wisdom Panel, require that you activate your kit online at this point. You'll be given a code to write on your sample sticker. Many kits come with the shipping label included. All you have to do is stick the kit back in the mail. The company will mail back the genetic makeup of your dog. Some panels claim to go back as far as great-grandparents in identifying the breeds that makeup your dog.

Order a genetic test online. Take a swab of your dog's cheek. Activate your kit. Mail it back in. Wait for the results.


Find a salon that offers body waxing, and go in for an appointment. It is generally safer than shaving, it lasts longer, and it shouldn't cost much more than $30. You won't need to shave your back every few days to keep the stubble down, and over time your back hair should even start to grow in thinner!  Waxing removes hair from the root. If done well, a back wax may last as long as six weeks – much longer than any shave.  Avoid trying to wax your back at home. If you do this, make sure that you have help, and that both of you know what you're doing. Waxing done poorly can be even more dangerous than a botched shave. This solution permanently removes the hair from your back, making it much more long-term effective than either shaving or waxing. It is usually a very safe and professional procedure, although it may be somewhat more expensive than your alternatives. Consider whether a permanently hair-free back is worth the cost. The price of laser hair removal will depend on the particular salon and the hairiness of your back. As a general rule, however, you can expect the procedure to cost about $50-$100 per session, over as many as ten sessions. This means that you might wind up shelling out $1,000 for the entire treatment plan. These products dissolve your hair at the surface of the skin, and the hairless effect usually lasts about twice as long as shaving. Be aware that these creams can be difficult to apply yourself, so you may need to ask a friend or a partner to help out. This can be a quick, easy, and relatively cheap solution – but it is not nearly so long-lasting as waxing or laser hair removal.

Consider having your back professionally waxed. Look into laser hair removal. Try using a depilatory cream.


Find a shampoo and conditioner that's right for you. Wash it daily to maintain healthy hair. Then, brush and comb your hair how you like it. Blow dry your hair if it's long. Do some research on hair styles and find one that suits your tastes and your hair type. You aren't stuck with the style you have. Put some thought into your hair and make it look how you want it.  Find a quality hair salon nearby. Ask the stylist's advice and build a relationship with them. Specific hair cuts are better than generic ones. For girls, hair ties and braids are your friend. You don't have time to do your hair up every day. Put your hair in a bun or ponytail for an easy hair style. For boys, short buzz cuts are safe. If you grow it out, make sure to comb and part your hair appropriately. Exercise three or four times a week. If you aren't on a sports team, make time for physical activity. This will help you maintain a healthy body type.  You don't have to go to the gym to stay in shape. Go for a bike ride. Try yoga. Play basketball with your friends. Don't stress about your body type. A healthy lifestyle and consistent physical activity will get you the body you want. Know your skin type. If you have oily skin, use an oil-free moisturizer. If you have dry skin, use moisturizer rich in essential oils to revitalize it. A little attention to your skin can go a long way.

Find a simple, person-shaped template online or draw one yourself. The template doesn't need to be realistic or proportionate to a real person. Also, it can be as big or tiny as you want it to be. Most voodoo dolls are small enough to fit in your hand, however. If you don't know how to draw, use a gingerbread man cookie cutter as a stencil, but make the head bigger and more round. Keep the pins inside the template. If they stick outside the edge of the template, they will get in the way of cutting. If your template is small enough, you can use a single sheet of felt. Fold the felt in half to make two "sheets," then pin the template. You can use any color of felt you want, from natural, skin tones to green, red, or even blue. Because of the way you will be sewing this voodoo doll, you do not need to add any seam allowances. Once you have the felt cut out, remove the pins. Set the template aside; you won't need it anymore. Choose one of the felt pieces to be the front; set the other one aside. Thread a needle with black embroidery floss, then use it to sew a white button onto the right side of the head. Finish sewing on the back of the felt, but don't cut the floss yet. For a fancier voodoo doll, cut a circle out of black felt that's slightly bigger than the button. Place it under the button before you sew it on. Keeping your needle threaded with the same embroidery floss, stitch an X shape onto the left side of the head to make the second eye. It can be the same size as the first eye, or slightly larger/smaller. Finish the X on the back of the felt. Don't cut the floss yet. You can also sew another button instead. It can look the same as the first one, or it can be different. The mouth should extend from eye to eye, and sit at the bottom of the head. Bring the needle up through the back of the felt, so that it comes out below the left eye. Pull it over towards the right eye, and push it back down through the felt. Don't cut the floss yet. Keep the thread loose so that you don't wrinkle the felt. Work your way...

Create your template on a sheet of paper, then cut it out. Secure the template to two sheets of felt with sewing pins. Cut the felt, using the template as a guide, then remove the pins. Sew a button onto one of the felt pieces for the  right eye. Stitch an X for the left eye. Stitch a horizontal line for the base of the mouth. Add 4 to 5 vertical lines to make the mouth look sewn shut. Sew a red felt heart onto the left side of the felt. Sew the two felt pieces together, wrong sides facing in. Stuff the doll. Finish sewing the doll.


Find a small, 4-inch (10-cm) pot and fill it halfway with a high-quality, well-draining, and soil-based potting mix. Avoid peat-based potting mixes, as these won't provide the plant with enough stability. High-peat mixes also become compacted over time, and this can cause problems for the root system. Place the transplanted ficus in a bright and warm location, but keep it out of direct sunlight, especially until it's more established. There should be some new growth at the top of the plant before it's exposed to direct sunlight.

Fill a small pot with potting soil. Leave the ficus somewhere bright.


Find a spot to set the house, such as on a sturdy tree branch. Choose a covered spot with plenty of leaves, a roof, or other protections that will keep water from entering the house. Make sure the house won’t get blown over by the wind.  The best spot for the house is up in the air, on a branch, wall, or a similar surface. That way, bugs on the ground have a harder time reaching it. To secure the house, hang it on a branch or a pole with a hook. Tie it in place with a strong wire. Drill small holes as needed to thread a hanging wire through the house. Ladybugs eat pests like aphids and mites, which live on garden plants. If you keep your house as close to a garden as possible, you have a better chance of attracting ladybugs to it. They may stop by as they fly to and from the garden.  Rose bushes are popular with aphids. They also like vegetable plants, such as lettuce and broccoli. Keep the ladybug house near these plants to increase the chances of attracting visitors. Ladybugs also eat pollen from some flowers and herbs. Hang the ladybug house as a shelter near dill, cilantro, geraniums, cosmos, and other garden plants. Check the house often to make sure the ladybugs are happy and healthy. When the old food starts to spoil, swap it out for something fresh. Also, refill the water source or mist the house when it dries out so the ladybugs don’t leave. For example, replace raisins when they start smelling sour or become moldy. Apple slices will turn soft and brown as they spoil.

Set the house in a secure spot out of the rain. Place ladybug houses near gardens to get more visitors. Replace the food and water sources every week.


Find a sturdy, straight stick that’s approximately 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m) long and 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) in diameter. Remove any leaves or branches and use sandpaper to remove any knobbly bits, if necessary. Take a piece of string that’s about 20 feet (6.1 m) long and tie it to the narrower end of the stick, about 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the end.  Make sure the knot is nice and tight. Wrap the remaining string around the end of the stick. Tie 2–3 feet (0.61–0.91 m) of thin fishing line to the end of the string, as this will make it easier to attach the hook. Thread a small fishing hook onto the end of the line. When it’s time to fish, unwind enough string from the end of the pole for the hook to reach the required depth.

Find a subtle scent to wear every time you are around your guy. He will begin to associate this smell with you, and it gives him another sense to miss you with. When you aren’t with your guy, he'll begin to miss the smell of you and crave smelling your signature scent.  Make sure you don’t wear too much or he might be turned off by the strong scent. Wear just enough for it to be smelled when someone is very close to your body. To create this effect with smell, you have to wear the same scent every time you are around him. This also works when you want to make your ex-boyfriend miss you. If you show up to a place he’s at wearing the scent you used to wear, he’ll instantly associate it with the time he was with you.

Find a suitable interview location and time for you. Follow the school's instructions on the website and apply.  You might have to write an essay about why you want to work and live in Japan. Follow the guidelines set by the company. Following guidelines is not only important in these schools, but in all of Japan. You should write about how you love Japan and love teaching. Highlight your strengths in the essay as well. These schools are looking for enthusiastic teachers, so you might want to include words like "deep interest" "overwhelming passion" "intellectually stimulating" and so on. For example "I have held a deep interest in Japan and teaching since I was in junior high school. In our history class, we learned how to write our name in katakana and it really piqued my curiosity in the culture. Furthermore, I have an overwhelming passion for learning and teaching and hope to pursue it in my future." Using these words will let the employer know more about your personality.  Your essay should show your personality, but it should also reflect your English ability. You will probably be required to teach students from beginners to advanced. Using advanced vocabulary and expressions will make your essay stand out. For example, instead of saying "I have always wanted to be a teacher." say "I have always had my heart set on a teaching career." Do not use slang, which can be considered unprofessional. Being professional is extremely important and these schools pride themselves on that image. Show that you are a well educated, determined, professional, and competent individual with a lot of energy and passion. This is pretty simple. If you don't know how to do this, there are some great articles about writing resumes on wikiHow. A sure way to get your application denied is to have it be riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Proofread it several times and have someone else read it too.

Find a suitable workbench and secure the master cylinder to it. Put rags beneath the master cylinder to catch brake fluid and prevent it from damaging your work surface. If the master cylinder came with a new reservoir already attached, that’s great. If not, install either a new or old reservoir to it. Then, fill both the reservoir and the master cylinder with brake fluid. It’s crucial that the master cylinder stays filled with brake fluid during this process or you’ll have to start over. Depress the piston on the master cylinder, use the fingers on your other hand to cover all of the brake line ports, then let the piston go. Ensure your fingers are covering the ports completely or air will get sucked into them when you release the piston. Keep your fingers over the brake line ports and use your other hand to put more brake fluid in the master cylinder or reservoir if it’s low. Depress the piston again and allow a little fluid to come out of the brake line ports. Then, seal the ports and release the piston. Remember to keep your fingers firmly over the ports when you release the piston so air doesn’t get into the master cylinder. If necessary, keep adding fluid to the reservoir. Once brake fluid comes out of each port when you depress the piston, the master cylinder is ready for installation. Put the cap on the reservoir when you’re done.

Clamp the new master cylinder to a workbench with a vise. Install the reservoir and fill it and the master cylinder with brake fluid. Push in the piston, cover the ports for the brake lines, then release the piston. Add more fluid, push the piston in again, then release it. Repeat the process until fluid leaks out of each port.


Find a surface to cook your pancakes on. Choose a griddle or skillet that is flat and large enough to cook several pancakes at once. Place the skillet on the cooktop and have the batter and the rest of your ingredients close by.  If the cooking surface you’re using isn’t very large, you’ll either have to make smaller pancakes or cook fewer at a time. Avoid saute-style pans with sloped edges. These can mess up the shape of the pancake and leave you with no room to flip them. Let the cooktop begin to warm up the skillet or griddle. It’s essential to bring the cooking surface to the right temperature. If it’s too hot, the pancake batter is likely to burn, while if it’s not hot enough it can take much longer to cook and may leave the pancakes spongy in the middle even when they appear done on the outside. The cooking surface will grow hotter the longer it’s exposed to direct heat, so it’s a good idea to turn it down a little after your first round of pancakes are done. Pour about 2 tablespoons of canola oil into the skillet, or use 2-3 tablespoons of butter, or a combination of the two. Heat the oil or let the butter melt in the skillet, making sure to coat the entire cooking surface. Wait until just before the butter or oil begins to sizzle before adding the pancake batter.  If you’re using oil to cook pancakes, canola or vegetable oil will work best, as they’ll lubricate the skillet and cook the pancakes evenly without influencing their flavor. Cooking with butter is fine, but it can give the pancakes a denser, crispier outer texture once it cooks in. Wipe out the pan and add new butter after each batch to keep from burning it. Use a deep ladle to pour the pancake batter onto the hot cooking surface. Aim to make each pancake 3-4 inches in diameter. On a large enough cooking surface, you’ll be able to cook up to 4 pancakes at a time. Keep the edges of the batter separated so the pancakes don’t stick together.  Keep the pancakes compact. Pancakes that are too big will be difficult to flip. Don’t use too much...

Find a t-shirt, letterman’s jacket, or sweatshirt that has your name on it and give it to your boyfriend or girlfriend. Trading clothing with your name on it is a great way to be a cute couple. Trade clothing even if it doesn’t have your name on it. You’ll feel closer to each other and people will notice. If you are very different in size, this may not always work. Small people can wear big clothes, but big people in small clothes might look silly rather than cute. If you want to wear your partner’s clothes, even if they are tight, though, go for it. When the school semester is dragging on, or you are bored in the hot days of summer, pick out each other’s clothes and wear what your partner chooses. Have fun styling each other in fancy or silly outfits. Make each other look good and increase your cuteness as a couple.  Pick a theme for each day like what you’d wear to a fancy dinner, how’d you dress on a day off, or an unfashionable, mismatched outfit for something silly. Make a deal that you have to wear whatever you pick out for each other. Be sure to tell people that you styled each other that week. Any chance you get to wear a costume is a perfect opportunity to match. Select a famous character couple from a book, TV, or movie. Dress up as different versions of the same character or theme. Be sure it’s obvious that your costumes go together.  Look at costumes that people have already designed or come up with an original idea and design it yourself. For example, you could dress up as Ash and Pikachu from Pokemon, Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, or a slice of pizza and the pizza delivery guy. Look through each other’s closets and find outfits that match. If you have the exact same shirt, like from a club or sports team, this always works. Choose similar color schemes or patterns that make you look great together.  The main goal is to be on the same level of fanciness in your attire. If one person wears a nice dress and the other wears sweatpants, it’s not really matching. Wear jeans and flannels, your fanciest...

Trade clothes with each other. Choose each other’s outfits for a week. Dress in matching costumes for parties or dress up days. Coordinate your outfits.


Find a tiny bottle of this dark purple liquid, at low concentrations (preferably 2%). It will usually be in the same aisle as bandages and antiseptics. Don't add any more, or you may end up with purple hair! The water should be a violet color, not dark purple. Careful — gentian violet will stain anything it touches. You may want to try this outside instead of in your sink. Leave your hair underwater for 30–60 seconds. This should lighten your hair color and reduce yellow or brassy tones. Keep in mind that your towel may be stained purple. Repeat the process once a week for continuous color.

Buy gentian violet at a pharmacy. Mix two drops in a  basin of cold water. Dip all of your hair in the basin. Dry your hair. Repeat weekly.


Find a toilet cleaner that fits your needs and pour the recommended amount into the bowl. This specific measurement can be found on the container. Leave it alone for a minute or 2 so that it can do its job and remove germs from your toilet. If you find that the ingredients in a cleaner are unsafe for you, you can make a natural cleaner using white vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, or essential oils. Take the toilet brush, and start brushing the bowl thoroughly. Clean under the rim of the toilet seat, down in the main hole of the toilet, and around the edges of the bowl. Concentrate on scrubbing clean any stained areas. Pull or push the flush, and as the water flows into the bowl, rotate the brush in the water to clean it. Then, place the wet brush somewhere to dry. Be sure that the brush dries before storing it. Return the toilet brush to its container, and store it either in the bathroom, in a storage closet, or in another handy place. Keep it inaccessible to any pets or babies, as they may try to touch it.

Find a way to keep yourself honest. Drinkers are often adept liars, often making lots of excuses to rationalize excessive drinking. Doing things like keeping an alcohol journal and setting clear, specific goals will help you keep yourself on track.  Keep track of any slip-ups. For example, if you drank on an “off day” or had more than your set limit of drinks, note it down. Tell a particular person, a close friend who you'll trust to not judge you, but who you know you can't hide things from. Confide in this person. Go to support group meetings regularly. Knowing you’ll have to be accountable to your group friends may help keep you on the wagon. If you used to drink a lot socially or used to hang around people who drove you to drink to excess for whatever reason, you might need to sever ties completely, or at least significantly restrict your access to these people. People you might need to avoid include:  Heavy drinkers One-up drinkers, or competitive drinkers Stressful friends Toxic relationships Sometimes, you will experience the urge to drink, and there’s no way around it. Rather than fight the urge, accept that you’re feeling it and then ride it out. Remember that the urge can only rise so far before it breaks and falls, just like a wave.  Accepting your urge doesn’t mean giving in to it. Instead, it means that you’re not struggling in vain to “make” yourself have a different feeling. Take a physical inventory. Take a few moments to breathe deeply and focus your attention on your body. Notice where you feel that craving, and how it manifests. For example, maybe you feel your craving most strongly in your mouth and nose, or perhaps your hand feels twitchy. Focus on one area where you find yourself experiencing this urge. Pay close attention to your physical sensations. Make statements that describe how you feel, but keep them judgment-free: you’re not here to make yourself feel bad, just to understand what your body’s doing. For example: “My mouth feels really dry. I feel like having a beer would be so...

Find an adult that you trust, such as your mom, aunt or older sister, about your concerns. Your body is probably undergoing other changes, too, that you might want to talk about. It may help to talk with a woman who has experience wearing a bra, rather than talking with your dad. Start off by saying that you want to talk, and be positive with the conversation. Assure them that nothing is wrong, but that you have some questions about your body and about growing up. You can start things off with a question like, “When did you first wear a bra?” When talking with this person, ask them to keep the conversation private. Some parents or other adults may be excited for you to start puberty and to develop into a woman. But this can be potentially embarrassing for you. Ask your trusted adult to not make announcements to other people about how you’re growing up. If you have a pesky little brother or sister, they might not realize that there should be boundaries. If you feel embarrassed about wearing a bra, ask your trusted adult to make sure your siblings don’t tease you. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to your parents about this, your trusted adult can say something for you. Check out a book from the library about puberty for girls and find out more about what’s happening with your body. You’ll find out that it’s very natural to grow breasts, even if it’s happening a little earlier for you than for your friends.  If you don’t want to check out the book from the library, ask your mom if she will buy one for you. There are also some great websites about puberty for girls, which can answer a lot of questions that you might have about your body. These include KidsHealth.org, BeingGirl.com, and GirlsHealth.gov. Body image is how a person sees herself or himself and the feelings you have about your body and self. Images you see in advertising, movies, magazines, and on TV can be distorted, leading you to think about what’s a normal body. But the truth is that every girl and woman is shaped differently and there is no...

Find an empty paper towel tube and remove any bits of paper that may still be clinging to it. Cut a straight slit going from top-to-bottom with scissors so that you can open the tube into a flat sheet. If you want a smaller pencil case, you can use an empty toilet paper tube instead. You will only be able to keep small items in it, like erasers or crayons, however. This simply means that you cut the circles with a 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide border all around. If you need to, sketch a new cutting line around the circles first, then cut the circles out. You won't be sewing the case, but you still need the seam allowances in order to glue the circles down.

Find an open area and stop your vehicle on the shoulder or side of the road. Get as far away as you can from utility poles, large structures, bridges, and any other potential hazards. Pay attention to surrounding traffic, and stop only when it's safe to do so. Don't stop abruptly, or vehicles to the rear might collide with you. The car may jiggle violently during an earthquake, but stay put and try to remain calm. You're safer in a car than outside, since vehicles offer protection from debris and falling objects. Turn on your radio, as channels should be broadcasting emergency broadcast information. Listen for reports of road closures or hazards on the emergency broadcast. When the shaking stops, resume driving and keep your eye out for damaged roadways, sinkholes, unsound bridges, and any other potential hazards. If a power line has fallen on your vehicle or you're otherwise unable to travel, stay put. Call emergency services, and wait for first responders.

Find comfortable ground to lay down on or sit upright on your knees. Practice holding your breath for long periods of time out of water first so you can practice proper breathing techniques. While lying down or sitting, focus on clearing your mind of all extra thoughts and worries. Don't move your body around; sit as still as possible. This lowers your blood pulse. A lowered pulse means your body is using less oxygen.  Your body needs oxygen to move and function. The less you move, the less oxygen your body will need. First, practice holding your breath without moving. Then, add in simple, slow movements like walking to train your body to conserve oxygen. This will prepare your body to dive and swim with less air. You should feel your belly rise instead of your shoulders if you're using your diaphragm to inhale. Your diaphragm is the muscle attached to the bottom of your lungs that helps expand your lungs to hold more oxygen.  Start inhaling for 5 seconds at a time. Then, increase by a few seconds every time you inhale. You will be stretching out your lungs and increasing their ability to hold more air. Puffing up your cheeks does not mean that you have enough oxygen. It makes you use face muscles that spend oxygen instead of conserving it. While you hold your breath, let out little puffs of air at a time. You will feel your body try and force you to exhale completely. These little convulsions are your body telling you that carbon dioxide is building up in your lungs.  Push out as much air as possible when you've finished to get rid of any extra carbon dioxide. As you hold your breath, your body turns oxygen into carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is toxic to your body and can cause you to pass out. Once you get past the convulsions, your spleen releases more oxygen-filled blood into your bloodstream. Hold your breath past this point to be able to hold it even longer. Every time you repeat a breath cycle, push yourself to go a little longer each time. Breathe in and out for two minutes at a time, keeping yourself...
