Fill a pot with tap water and put it on your stove over high heat. Let the water heat up completely until it comes to a rolling boil. Turn the heat to low to let the water simmer before moving on. You can also use purified or filtered water if you're worried about any foreign substances in your tap water. Once the rooting hormone is completely cooled, put the cuttings in the pot so the bottom 12 inches (2.55.1cm) are submerged. Let the cuttings soak for at least 2-3 hours before putting them in a growing medium so they can absorb the solution. You can also dip the end of your cutting in honey before planting it in the ground for an additional layer of protection from fungus and bacteria.

Summary: Boil 2c (470ml) of water before reducing the heat. Soak plant cuttings in the honey solution for 2-3 hours before planting them.

Scientists understand the Celsius scale as derived from the Kelvin scale. Though the gaps between Celsius and Kelvin are even larger than the gaps between Celsius and Fahrenheit, one thing that Celsius and Kelvin have in common is that they rise at the same rate. Whereas the ratio for Celsius to Fahrenheit is 1:1.8, the ratio for Celsius to Kelvin is 1:1. If it seems odd that freezing for Kelvin would be such a high number 273.15 it's because the Kelvin scale is based around absolute zero, which is 0K. Though 0C is the freezing temperature of water, scientists actually understand 0C as 273.15K. Since the two scales rise at the same rate, then converting Celsius to Kelvin always means simply adding 273.15. For example, if you're working with the temperature 30C, just add 273.15 to that. 30 + 273.15 = 303.15K. Here's a rough scale so you can test whether your answer makes sense. Note that the Celsius and Kelvin scales increase at the same rate, so the two numbers are always exactly 273.15 apart. If you start with an integer value of degrees Celsius, your result in kelvins will end in the decimal .15. The lowest possible temperature is -273.15C = 0 kelvins. If your result involves negative kelvins, you either made a math mistake or the problem uses impossible values. Celsius kelvins -100 173.15 -50 223.15 0 273.15 50 323.15 100 373.15 200 473.15 500 773.15

Summary: Understand the scales. Add 273.15 to your Celsius temperature. Check your answer.

To empower your employees, you have to be a role model. If they don't respect you or think you're hypocritical or lazy, it'll be hard for them to feel empowered by you. Here's how to be a good role model for your employees: Be accountable for what you say and do and expect the same from your employees. Listen to what your employees say. Show sincerity when dealing with employees. Be a good example of discipline. Avoid taking credit for team accomplishments. Communicate regularly and effectively. Focus on positive, winning attitudes. Keep asking "What are the key traits of highly effective leaders?" Make a list, build and develop those skills. Make sure there are no gray areas when assigning specific duties to specific employees. That way, employees will know exactly what is expected and there will be no room for passing the buck. Also, entrusting employees to responsibly complete a task improves their confidence and pride in their work. If you tend to be a micromanager, you want to empower your employees by trusting them enough to let them work on their own. Give employees more responsibilities so they will feel motivated to succeed. If they feel like they've been working at the same company for a long time without being given additional tasks or duties to perform, they will feel like they are not progressing. When delegating tasks, make sure each employee knows exactly what is expected of him to avoid any future miscommunication. When you feel more certain that your employees are skilled and dedicated enough to take responsibility for their own tasks, allow them more freedom in defining the methods by which they will accomplish those tasks. This makes their work feel more exciting and rewarding since they'll feel like they have more of a say in the work they do. For example, if your ace marketing exec insists that telecommuting part-time would aid creativity and productivity, provide for that flexibility. You can set routine meetings with your employees and check in with them about their progress without making them feel stifled. Though you should avoid being that "cool boss" who is too friendly with all of his employees, it doesn't hurt to smile at your employees, make small talk to show you care about them on an individual basis. Don't be that boss who is too busy to say hi to his employees, and who storms by looking busy and frazzled all the time; take the time to make your employees feel cared for, no matter how busy you are. If you want to empower your employees, you have to make them feel like you actually know each of them a bit. They'll have a hard time wanting to do a good job if they feel like you don't know who they are. Get to know a little bit about each employee, such as the names and ages of their kids, their favorite things to do outside of work, or where they're from. Asking about these small details will make them feel like you care. If you are too busy to say hello to your employees, get to your office 15 minutes early every day. This will give you time to feel less frazzled when you walk into the office each morning, and to make more time for your employees. To motivate employees, you have to respect them as human beings and employees. Give instructions in a respectful manner, don't be rude and take the time to acknowledge their questions or concerns before embarking on a new project. Also, be respectful of their time and don't ask them to stay late last minute every evening or act like they don't have a life outside of work. Don't make employees feel unworthy of your time. If they want to meet you, don't say, "I have 7 minutes to meet!" or, "I am swamped with meetings this week." Sure, you're the boss, and they know you're busy, but you don't want to make them feel like they are wasting your time every time they want to meet. To be a good leader, motivate your employees with a positive attitude and environment. If you always look stressed out or are obviously in a bad mood or if it just always feels like doom and gloom in your office, then employees won't feel empowered to do their best. You should smile, talk about positive developments at your company, give lots of reinforcement, and make your company a great place to work. Of course, if things are going poorly for your company, then it may be difficult to have a smile on your face. Be honest with employees about the struggles your company is facing while focusing on the positive developments in your workplace. Make sure employees hear laughter. Seriously, don't be the boss who is so serious and stressed out that his employees haven't heard him crack a joke or laugh. Another way to empower your employees is to make sure they know exactly what it takes to succeed. You don't want them to feel like they are getting mixed signals or that things at your company are changing so fast that they have no idea what it actually takes to do a good job. Your expectations should be crystal clear if you want employees to feel empowered and motivated to do their best. Sometimes expectations do change. If this is the case, make sure you let your employees know about the changes and explain your reasoning so they don't feel like they are in the dark about company policy.

Summary: Adopt traits of a good leader to promote employee empowerment. Delegate tasks clearly and concisely. Give up some of your power in favor of employee autonomy. Be friendly without being a friend. Be respectful. Be positive.
