Assemble all your supplies for this science experiment before you start. Have the following on hand: 1USgal (3.8L) glass jar Matches Rubber glove Rubber band Flashlight or lamp Food coloring Water Use just enough water to cover the bottom of the jar. You only want to use a small amount of water so that the water can evaporate. Swirl the water around inside the jar so that it covers the sides. Use oven mitts, since the boiling water will make the jar very hot. Have the fingers of the glove pointing downward into the jar. This will seal in the air into the jar. Once your hand is in the glove, move it upward so that you pull the fingers of the glove up. You'll notice that nothing happens to the water in the jar. Take the glove off the jar for just a moment. Light a match (or have an adult light it for you) and drop it in the jar. Stretch the glove back over the jar, with the fingers pointing down into the jar. The water at the bottom of the jar will put out the match, and smoke will form in the jar. Slide your hand into the glove and pull it outward again. This time, a cloud will form in the jar. When you put your hand back inside the jar, the cloud will disappear. This will last for 5-10 minutes, and then the particles will settle into the bottom of the jar. When you shine a light on the jar, you will be able to see the clouds better. The air is full of warm water vapor molecules inside the jar. The air is compressed by the glove because the glove takes up some of the space inside the jar. Pulling the glove fingers out of the jar releases some space in the jar and allows the air to expand. The air inside the jar cools because pressure and temperature have a proportional relationship when pressure and temperature drops. The smoke from the match acts as a vehicle that the water molecules can attach to. They stick to the smoke particles, condensing into cloud droplets. When the glove fingers go back into the jar, the air inside the jar warms up again and the cloud disappears. Add a few drops of food coloring to the water in the bottom of the jar. Then cover the jar, add a lighted match, and watch your clouds bloom in a different color.

One-sentence summary -- Gather your supplies. Pour boiling water into the jar. Put the rubber glove wrist around the mouth of the jar. Try putting your hand in the glove. Light a match and drop it in the jar. Put your hand in the glove again. Shine a flashlight on the jar. Understand how this works. Try the experiment again with colored clouds.

It can seem like a good idea to keep excess inventory on hand, but in reality this can tie up your cash flow and cost you extra money in storage. You should continuously monitor your inventory to make sure you're only ordering what you need. It might seem like a good idea to order 2 years' worth of packaging for your product, but if new regulations cause you to change the wording on your label in 6 months, you'll be stuck with pallets of material you can't use. If you have inventory left over from a promotion or a line which didn't sell well, consider selling it or writing it off on your taxes. If you haven't done anything with it in over a year, you're probably just wasting valuable storage space. No matter what service or product you're purchasing, get bids from 3-5 companies before you make a decision. Be sure to ask about all of the details of the purchase when you're getting a bid. You might find 2 manufacturers who offer a product in the same price range, for instance, but one may offer free shipping when you sign a 2-year contract. Co-working spaces are on the rise in recent years thanks to their increased efficiency. If you have unused office or warehouse space in your production area, consider leasing it to another individual or company for added revenue. In recent years, wage increases and rising energy costs have caused offshore manufacturing costs to rise to the point that they often end up costing businesses more. If you've been manufacturing products overseas, re-evaluate your manufacturing costs and see if it would be cost-effective to return to domestic production.

One-sentence summary -- Monitor your inventory closely. Sell or write off old inventory. Always get multiple bids before you make a purchasing decision. Lease your unused production space. Return manufacturing to your country if it has been shipped offshore.

You probably have a number of responsibilities and obligations that keep you busy in everyday life. During your travels you may feel the same urgency to do everything, go everywhere, and see everything. But this can leave you feeling more stressed and tired than you do at home. Use your trip as an opportunity to get some of the rest and relaxation you miss out on at home. This can help you release stress and tension in general, which helps promote good mental health. Take advantage of layovers and other down time by taking a brief nap, reading, journaling, or peacefully exploring your destination. On professional travel, carve some time out from preparing, meeting, and negotiating to just sit quietly and calm your mind. Take into account the effects of jet lag and time zone changes and make sure you're giving your body time to adjust. It's natural to want to look and feel a little special when you're away from home. In fact, it's a good thing. Splurging on yourself a little can boost your self-esteem, mood, and outlook on life. In other words, it helps you maintain your mental health. So, do something special to treat yourself while you're traveling. Put together a new outfit or try out a new hairstyle to wear out and about on your trip. Treat yourself to a special meal (including dessert) and try some of the local cuisine. Remember to keep most of your other meals healthy, though! If you're lucky enough to be able to travel with a loved one or a friend, use the trip as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with them. The time together sharing new experiences without the stress of day-to-day life can boost the quality of your interactions. This can help relieve any tension in the relationship, which means less stress and better mental health for you. For example, you could use your trip as a way to rekindle the romance with your partner. Or, as another example, if the relationship between you and your teen is strained, you could use the trip as a way to reestablish communication by talking about the experience. Talk to your travel companion about anything concerning you. They can offer support and help you problem-solve. It can be easy to get bogged down in your day-to-day life and lose sight of all the things you have to be grateful for. But evidence suggests that being grateful can help promote good mental health by helping you to remain positive about yourself and your life. Traveling is one great way to take a step back and appreciate all that you have in life. Be grateful for the small, positive, things that happen while you're traveling. For example, you might be grateful that your train left on time and wasn't full. Or, for instance, you might appreciate the amenities you have at home compared to what's available at your travel location.
