As you and your brother grew up together, you've probably had your share of fights. However, sometimes squabbles cross a line and become hostile acts or even bully-like behavior. In those instances, it's best to get a parent involved who can mediate the situation and take action as needed. Picking on a sibling is normal. However, if your brother continuous to torment you about the same topic over several days or weeks, it might be bully behavior. If your brother doesn't apologize or try to make up with you after a fight, or continues to show hostility towards you at all times, it's a sign of bullying. Having some type of advantage, like being bigger/older/more popular, can quickly turn simple sibling rivalries into a bullying situation. If you think your brother is legitimately bullying you, talk to a parent right away. If you believe that a situation is out of control and you haven't been able to reach any kind of agreement on your own, it may be helpful to have one or both parents moderate a conversation. This can allow both you and your brother to express your thoughts and feelings on the conflict in a safe, supportive environment. Your parents can also help keep the peace if a disagreement arises, and ultimately give some type of command on how to proceed. Have your parents sit down with both of you individually, then together to moderate a family discussion. Encourage your parents to try and find a solution that makes everyone happy. Ideally, you should be able to arrive at some type of win/win situation. If you were unsuccessful at reaching a compromise on your own with your brother, your parents' final say in the matter should resolve the conflict. If your parents are ignoring your brother's aggressive, annoying, or otherwise problematic behavior, you may need to bring it to their attention. Ask your parents to be fair and apply the same rules to both you and your brother, and to enforce the rules to keep the peace. Your parents may not be aware of the situation, or may not realize its extent. It's easy for parents to get caught up between work and family distractions. Make a point of bringing problems to your parents' attention when you haven't been able to resolve those issues on your own. This may not stop your brother at the moment from being annoying, but it can help you build a stronger sibling relationship. It can also provide a much-needed break from any tension that might have been building between you at home. Sometimes getting out of the house and having a positive, shared experience can help you bond with a sibling. At the very least, a group outing should distract your brother from his problematic behavior. You can use the time with your family to find things that make everyone happy, and try to incorporate those elements into your everyday lives.

summary: Recognize behavior that requires a parent. Have your parents mediate a conversation. Encourage your parents to enforce the rules. Try to plan family activities that bring everyone together.

Using a handheld graphing calculator, enter your calculator's statistics function and then select the "Edit" command. Each calculator will have slightly different key commands. This article will give the specific instructions for the Texas Instruments TI-86. Enter the Stat function by pressing [2nd]-Stat (above the + key), then hit F2-Edit. Most calculators will keep statistical data until cleared. To make sure that you do not confuse old data with new data, you should first clear any previously stored information. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to highlight the heading "xStat." Then press Clear and Enter. This should clear all values in the xStat column. Use the arrow keys to highlight the yStat heading. Press Clear and Enter to empty the data from that column as well. Using the arrow keys, move the cursor to the first space under the xStat heading. Type in your first data value and then hit Enter. You should see the space at the bottom of the screen display "xStat(1)=__," with your value filling the blank space. When you hit Enter, the data will fill the table, the cursor will move to the next line, and the line at the bottom of the screen should now read "xStat(2)=__." Continue entering all the x-data values. When you complete the x-data, use the arrow keys to move to the yStat column and enter the y-data values. After all the data has been entered, hit Exit to clear the screen and leave the Stat menu. The correlation coefficient is a measure of how well the data approximates a straight line. A statistical graphing calculator can very quickly calculate the best-fit line and the correlation coefficient. Enter the Stat function and then hit the Calc button. On the TI-86, this is [2nd][Stat][F1]. Choose the Linear Regression calculations. On the TI-86, this is [F3], which is labeled "LinR." The graphic screen should then display the line "LinR _," with a blinking cursor. You now need to enter the names of the two variables that you want to calculate. These are xStat and yStat. On the TI-86, select the Names list by hitting [2nd][List][F3]. The bottom line of your screen should now show the available variables. Choose [xStat] (this is probably button F1 or F2), then enter a comma, then [yStat]. Hit Enter to calculate the data. When you hit Enter, the calculator will instantly calculate the following information for the data that you entered: y=a+bx{\displaystyle y=a+bx}: This is the general formula for a straight line. However, instead of the familiar "y=mx+b," this is presented in reverse order. a={\displaystyle a=}. This is the value of the y-intercept of the best-fit line. b={\displaystyle b=}. This is the slope of the best-fit line. corr={\displaystyle { ext{corr}}=}. This is the correlation coefficient. n={\displaystyle n=}. This is the number of data pairs that were used in the calculation.

summary: Enter your data. Clear any old stored data. Enter your data values. Calculate the linear regression statistics. Interpret your results.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of buying the hardware to complete a single transfer project, many big stores with electronics departments will complete the process for a small fee. This offers less control over editing and care of the tapes, but requires little on your part other than delivery. It's also a good way to convert more obscure formats like 8mm film or Betamax. Walgreens, Costco, Walmart, imemories.com, Southtree, Target, CVS, and Sam's Club all offer this service for somewhere between $10 and $30 dollars a disc. Typically a single disc will hold two hours of VHS tape. If you want all of your daughter's VHS birthday tapes on one disc and your son's on another, make a note of this and include it with the package. Make sure all tapes are clearly labeled and that you have already made a copy of important tapes. Also be sure to make the staff aware of any fragility or damage on the tapes. Depending on where you drop the tapes off, there may be other custom editing options available. This is a great option for people with a small amount of personal material to transfer, avoiding the separate costs of blank discs, hardware, and software. There are also online services available that offer the same transfer options, though you'll have to ship the VHS tapes, which could be costly.
summary: Take your tapes to be converted by the electronics department of a local box store. Deliver your tapes and your instructions. Wait a couple weeks and pick them back up.
