Unscrew or pull out the stopper in your drain. Some tubs also have an overflow plate under the faucet that you'll have to unscrew to remove the drain. As you remove the stopper, you may pull up some hair that's stuck down the drain pipe. Clean off the bottom of the stopper and wipe down the area if there is any gunk or hair that you've pulled up. You can get a more heavy duty drain snake from a hardware store, or you can use a disposable snake that comes with drain pipe cleaners. If you are using a piece of equipment from the hardware store, it will most likely have a crank that you must rotate to feed the snake down the drain. There are also are gas and electric powered commercial grade drain snakes that you can rent from the hardware store. Turn the snake as it goes down the drain so that it scrapes the side of the drainpipe. Continue to rotate it until you break through the clog or the snake won't go any further. As the snake is rotated, it should collect the hair that's clogging your drain. When you feel resistance, it means that you've reached the clog. Slowly remove the snake from your drain. If you're using a residential grade drain snake, you'll have to rotate the snake's handle the other way to retract it. As the snake comes out of the drain, it should pull out any hair that was stuck in the pipe Run hot water from your faucet to see if you've cleared the hair that was clogging your drain. If the drain is still clogged, repeat the process until you clear the hair out of the drain.

Summary: Remove the stopper. Insert the snake down the pipe. Rotate the snake until it grabs hold of the hair. Slowly pull the drain snake out of the drain. Run water from the faucet to see if it's still clogged.

The most satisfying careers are the ones that make the best use of your natural skills and talents. If you're a great public speaker and you really enjoy giving presentations, you are squandering that talent by coding programs at a desk. Maybe you could combine both aptitudes by becoming a teacher! Be aware that your career strengths are different from the skill strengths that make you happy. Some questions that might help you suss out your strengths are:[[Image:Know What You Want in Life Step 5.jpg|center]; Do you work best alone, with a partner, or as part of a larger team? Do you work best when you're assigned tasks or when you get to lead your own projects? Although not everybody can have a career in something they're absolutely crazy about, most people should be able to match up interests and careers to some degree. There are many tests you can take to figure out what kinds of jobs are best matched to your interests. Some people can't stand the idea of working every day from 9-5 in an office setting. If you crave the flexibility to work at your own pace, during your own work hours, and from a setting of your choosing, maybe freelance or contract work appeals to you. Others might not see themselves following the constantly shifting schedule of a university professor with its attendant ever-changing focus. Instead, they might flourish in a setting with stability and the sameness of a 9-5 workday filled with well-known, repeating duties. Ask yourself what kind of schedule would work best with your work habits. Don't choose freelance work if you slack off and lose focus easily! Note that freelance and contract work is less stable than regular office work and usually does not offer benefits. Although you shouldn't ever choose a career just for the money, you also don't want to labor away without ever making enough money to support yourself and your family. Calculate a budget to determine how much money you'll need to maintain your family at a level of comfort that's acceptable. Search online for average salaries in various career paths. Figure out if the career you're thinking about will satisfy your monetary needs. Think about extra training (such as additional schooling) you will need in order to achieve your career goals. If you're stuck in a job you hate, you might daydream about a career that actually satisfies you, but there might also be any number of things, including time, ego, and fear about financial stability, that might stop you from finding a career that will really satisfy you. You need to put everything on the back burner except for your career satisfaction. To prepare for a career change, you should begin saving as much money as possible. A career change sometimes means you have to start your new job at a lower-paying position before you can work your way back up the ladder.

Summary: Make a list of your strengths. Make a list of your passions. Envision your ideal schedule. Calculate a budget. Don't be afraid of a career change.

. An anemometer is a tool for measuring wind speed. You can buy one online, or make a simple one yourself in about 30 minutes using the steps below. If you bought one, skip down to the step in which you count the rotations or just read the wind speed directly, if yours has a digital display. Take four small paper cups, and punch a single hole in each one, about inch (1.25 cm) below the rim. Take a fifth cup, and puncture four evenly spaced holes, about in. (6 mm) below the rim, then punch a fifth hole in the center of its base. You can use a pencil to punch these holes, if you don't have anything sharper. Stick a plastic straw into a single-hole cup, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) into it. Push the other end of the straw through two holes of the five-hole cup. Stick the free end of the straw into another single-hole cup. Turn the two single-hole cups so they are pointing in opposite directions, along the same plane as the straw. Staple the straw to the cup. Repeat with another straw, putting it through the remaining two holes of the central five-hole cup. Rotate these two new cups until each cup opening is nearer the base of the next one. In other words, the top cup points right, the right cup points down, the bottom cup points left, and the left cup points up. Staple the straws and cups together. Slide the two straws until all four cups are the same distance from the center. Stick a small pin through the intersection of the two straws. Stick the eraser end of a pencil through the hole in the base of the central cup, and push it gently onto the pin. You can now hold the anemometer by the pencil tip, and use it to measure wind speeds. Hold the anemometer upright in a windy area. Watch a single cup (draw on it with a marker if it makes it easier to follow) and count the number of times it rotates. Use a stopwatch or a friend watching the second hand of a clock to time 15 seconds, and stop you when the time is up. Multiply your count by four to get the number of revolutions per minute (rpm). For greater accuracy, count the number of rotations in 60 seconds (and don't multiply by anything). Measure the distance from one edge of the anemometer to the other to find the diameter of the rotating circle, d. The circumference of the circle, is equal to d. This is the distance traveled in one revolution. If you don't have a calculator, you can use 3.14 as an estimate of , or even just 3 for a rough estimate. Convert the circumference you calculated into a more useful unit for measuring wind speed (miles or kilometers). Multiply the result by the rpm you calculated to get the total distance traveled in one minute. Multiply the result by 60 to get the distance traveled in one hour (mph or km/h). Here are the full formulas in imperial and metric units: Imperial: (__circumference__ inches/revolution) * (1/12 ft/inches) * (1/5280 miles/ft) * (__rpm__ revolutions/minute) * (60 minutes/hour) = __wind speed__ in miles per hour. Metric: (__circumference__ centimeters/revolution) * (1/100000 kilometers/centimeter) * (__rpm__ revolutions/minute) * (60 minutes/hour) = __wind speed__ in kilometers per hour.
Summary: Decide whether to make or buy an anemometer Punch holes in small paper cups. Construct one half of the basic shape. Finish the basic shape. Make a base for the anemometer. Count the number of rotations the anemometer makes. Calculate the circumference. Calculate wind speed.
