The moisture and temperature conditions in a freezer are not great for preserving coffee's freshness. This is also where coffee is most likely to absorb offensive smells from neighboring food items. However, if you have more coffee than you can use in a month, it's a good idea to freeze what you won't use. This will minimize the chance of freezer smells and moisture getting to the coffee. In most cases, this will require you to transfer coffee out of its original packaging into a thick plastic bag or other container that will not allow air in. You can even vacuum seal extra coffee before putting it in the freezer. This will ensure that the package is airtight and the coffee has minimal exposure to oxygen. As soon as you take your coffee out of the refrigerator or freezer, carbon dioxide will begin escaping at an accelerated rate, causing the coffee to oxidize. Since this will cause the coffee to lose flavor, it's best to grind or brew the beans as soon as you can. To get your coffee to 200F (93C), you may have to heat the water slightly hotter than normal to account for the heat loss when the hot water touches the frozen beans. Once you have frozen coffee and thawed it out, don't freeze it again. This repeated change in temperature does not have a good effect on the coffee's taste. Keep this in mind when packaging coffee up for freezing. Putting it in several smaller packages will allow you to take a small amount out at one time and leave some in the freezer undisturbed.

Summary: Use the freezer for long-term storage only. Put coffee in completely airtight containers. Brew the coffee immediately after taking it out of the freezer. Do not refreeze coffee.

In some schools, especially middle schools and high schools, students are required to fill out a pass each time they need to leave the classroom. Students generally receive a set number of passes for each semester, trimester, or quarter. Once a student uses all of their passes, they must wait until the next marketing period to receive more. In elementary school, you teacher may give you a set number of pre-printed bathroom passes or tickets. When you need to use the restroom, pull out your pass sheet and fill out the following information: Date Class Reason for using the pass. After filling out or finding your pre-printed pass, subtly get your teacher's attention. Raise your pass in the air until they notice you. When the call on you or come over to your seat, ask if you may use the bathroom. Unless it is an emergency, do not ask to use the bathroom when your teacher is giving instructions or in the middle of a lesson. Great times to ask for permission include after you have finished taking a test, while you are working independently, and during transitions from one activity to the next. When you ask, "may I use the bathroom," your teacher has the option to reply with "yes," "no," or "please wait a few moments." If you don't receive permission or are asked to wait, remain calm and respectful. If it is an emergency, explain the situation to your teacher and ask to be excused. If your teacher says "yes," hand them your pass to sign. Leave the room quietly, use the bathroom quickly, and reenter the room silently, If your teacher says "no" or "please wait a few moments," ask again at a later time.

Summary: Fill out your pass to use the restroom. Ask if your teacher will sign your pass for the restroom at an appropriate time. Comply with your teacher's answer.

Water-packed veggies, like artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers, pickles and flavored mustards are all good choices for sandwiches. Reduced-sodium broth, frozen vegetables, canned tomatoes, whole grains like brown rice and pearl barley and delicious spices and seasonings will help you to whip up an easy soup at a moment's notice. Canned beans and fish, healthy fats like olive oil, nuts or seeds for sprinkling, vinegars, dressing and dressing ingredients will help you to prepare salads easily. Lean meat and poultry, beans, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, frozen vegetables and spices and seasonings can all be combined in a variety of ways to create both main and side dishes.

Summary: Stock ingredients for sandwiches. Keep soup components on hand. Have the ingredients you need to make quick salads. Keep other staples for mixed dishes.

It's best to start this trick when your ferret is lying down on the ground, rather than trying to press it down with your hands. So, wait for an opportune moment when your ferret is in a prone position, and place a treat about 8 inches (20cm) in front of the animal's face. If the ferret hunches its back and scoots its rear end forward to reach the treat, keep moving the treat backward away from the ferret until it stretches itself out flat to reach the treat. As soon as the ferret lays down to get the treat, give it the verbal command: "lay down!" and slide the treat forward so the ferret can easily snap it up. Speak the command and move the treat simultaneously, so the animal comes to associate laying down with the words "lay down" and a treat. Don't try to put the treat directly into the ferret's mouth, or it could accidentally bite the tips of your fingers. Your ferret will only learn through repetition, so don't stop the training session after your ferret lies down once. Wait for it to recline a second time, then repeat the process: place a treat in front of the animal, say, "lay down," and give the ferret the treat. With enough repetitions over a period of days or weeks, the ferret will learn to lay down on command. If you try to keep training the ferret for much longer than 20 minutes, you'll exhaust its patience and it will stop listening. Tell your ferret "lay down." Hold a treat about 7 inches (18cm) in the air and move the treat behind the animal's head. The ferret should roll over onto its back so it can keep an eye on the treat. As soon as it rolls, give the animal the treat and say "roll over!" Practice this 8-10 times in a row, always giving the ferret the treat once it's on its back. This should make the ferret roll completely over. Only move on to this step once your ferret is used to rolling on its back and hearing the "roll over" command. Continue to say "roll over" as you move the treat around the ferret's head, but don't give the animal the treat until it's rolled completely over and is again lying on its stomach. Remember to give your ferret verbal praise when it completes a roll-over. Say "good job!" in an encouraging tone of voice. In a single 2030 minute training session, try to have your ferret roll completely over at least half a dozen times. It may take some prompting (or multiple treats per attempt) since this is a more complex trick than sitting or lying down. But, with time and repetition, your ferret will learn to roll on command. Once it's learned to roll on command, try pairing this with a couple of other tricks. For example, ask the ferret to sit, lie down, and then roll over.
Summary: Place a treat on the ground in front of your prostrate ferret. Say "lay down" and give the treat to the ferret once it's prone. Repeat the command process 5-6 times in a 20-minute period. Circle a treat around the ferret's mouth to teach it to roll over. Move the treat in a full circle above your ferret's head. Practice these steps until your ferret regularly rolls over on command.
