This will be the main part of your water feature. A wide opening is important here. You'll need 3/4" diameter bamboo cut long enough to fit over the opening of your pot. You'll also need a larger ~2" diameter piece of bamboo, cut to about 6" in length. Miter one end of this piece to create the spout. Using twine or string, lace the three narrow pieces of bamboo together into a platform which can be fit over the back half of the pot. Attach the larger piece of bamboo to the platform using glue, but attach it at an angle (using a wedge) so that the spout is angled down towards the center of the pot slightly. Place the pump at the bottom of the pot. Connect the tube and run it up and behind the platform. Place the end of the tube in the bamboo spout so that it goes about 2" in, and then tape the tube in place against the pot (not anywhere that will get wet). Add water into the pot and then start your pump. Everything should be working. Now you just have to make it pretty! Fill the bottom of the pot with river rocks and add some fake plants around the spout to cover up evidence of the pumps. Enjoy your new fountain!

Use a tape measure to determine the height of the negative space under your bed. You will be using 2 inches (5.1cm) thick pipe insulation for this project. If the height of the space is close to 2 inches (5.1cm), you only need 1 "level." If it is more like 4 inches (10cm), you need 2. If it is closer to 6 inches (15cm) you need 3. Pipe insulation can be purchased at home improvement stores. For a standard queen or king-size bed, you will need 5 pieces of pipe insulation (76 by 2 inches (193.0cm 5.1cm) each) for 1 level (1 piece for each side, plus an extra piece to create extensions). If you will be using 2 levels, you will need 9 pieces. If you'll be using 3 levels, you'll need 13 pieces. If your bed is significantly larger than a standard queen or king, you will need more pipe insulation. A standard twin bed is 39 inches (99cm) wide by 80 inches (200cm) long. For a bed this size, you can use just 4 pieces per level. Grab one of your pieces of pipe insulation and measure an 4 inches (10cm) segment using your tape measure. Cut this section off using sharp scissors. Repeat so that you now have 2 4 inches (10cm) long extender pieces. Most standard beds are 80 inches (200cm) in length. Pipe insulation comes in pieces {{convert}76|in|cm}} long, so you need to add an extra 4 inches (10cm) for most beds. If your bed is longer than 80 inches (200cm), your extension pieces will need to be longer. If you will be installing 2 levels, you will need 4 extender pieces. If you will be installing 3, you'll need 6. Take a piece of pipe insulation (76 inches (190cm) long), and pierce both ends of the tube with an embroidery needle on the front and back (so that it now contains 4 holes). Repeat this action on 1 of your extender pieces (4 inches (10cm)). Place the full-length piece and the extender side-by-side. Use 2 zip ties (1 in the front and 1 in the back) to attach the pieces to one another. If you are installing 1 level, you need to create 2 pieces that are 80 inches (200cm). For 2 levels, you'll need 4. For 3 levels you'll need 6. Use scissors to trim the excess plastic from the tightened zip tie. Line a piece of pipe insulation up with the bottom of your bed. Use sharp scissors to cut your insulation to be approximately the width of your bed. It does not need to be an exact measurement. For 1 level you will need 2 pieces this size. For 2 levels, 4, and for 3 levels 6. If you have a king-size bed, you should not need to trim the insulation. For a queen-size bed, you will be removing about 16 inches (41cm). For a twin bed, you will be removing around 37 inches (94cm). Pierce the ends of every piece of pipe insulation you are going to use (on the front and back) with an embroidery needle. Make the holes wide enough for a zip tie to fit through. Lay 1 piece of pipe insulation on each side of your bed (placing the long pieces along the length and the short pieces along the width). Feed a zip tie through each set of holes. Slide the zip tie around the leg of the bed, slip it through the catch and tighten it. Repeat on every bed leg. Use scissors to trim the excess plastic from the tightened zip tie. Push the current level up as high as it will go. Lay another round of pipe insulation all around the bed (placing longer piece along the length and short pieces along the width). Make sure that all these pieces have hole in them for zip ties. Feed a zip tie into each hole, and affix the pipe insulation under the level you already attached. If you will create a third level, push the second level up and add it underneath.

One-sentence summary -- Figure out how many "levels" of pipe insulation you'll use. Determine the number of pipe insulation tubes you need. Create pieces 4 inches (10cm) long to extend tube lengths. Create pieces 80 inches (200cm) long. Trim tubes for the width of the bed. Poke holes in the ends of your pieces with an embroidery needle. Secure the pipe insulation to the legs of your bed using zip ties. Add additional levels (optional).

Oftentimes, people want to believe that good things happen to good people, which can lead them to also believe that bad things only happen to bad people. It's important to recognize your tendency to rationalize suffering in this way and actively work to change it. Try to change the way you think about all kinds of misfortune, not just crime victims. For example, many people who blame the victims of sexual assault also blame people who are afflicted by poverty or disease. All of these kinds of blame stem from the same core belief that bad things only happen to people who deserve them. Victim blaming is often used as a defense mechanism by people who want to believe that they could never become the victim of such a crime. This causes them to focus almost entirely on the characteristics and actions of the victims when assessing the reason for the attack. Distance yourself from this kind of thinking by reminding yourself that you are not that different from the victim and could just as easily have been the victim of a crime. Don't forget to think about outside circumstances. These are often things that the victim has no control over at all, and they are much more likely to contribute to the attack than anything the victim did. Many people make the false assumption that a victim consents to violence by failing to fight back or tell the perpetrator to stop, but this does not imply consent at all. You would not blame a robbery victim for failing to tell the robber to stop robbing them, so you should not blame the victim of sexual assault or domestic violence for not fighting back. "Tolerating" abusive treatment by not leaving an abusive partner does not constitute consent. Having a previous consensual sexual encounter with the attacker does not imply consent for future sexual encounters. While there are some steps that individuals may be able to take to increase their personal safety, it's important to realize how unrealistic it is to expect victims to effectively prevent attacks. It is simply impossible to anticipate every bad thing that may happen, and just as impossible to protect oneself against all of these bad things. Many risk reduction strategies are simply impractical. For example, staying inside and never socializing with other people may reduce a person's risk of being sexually assaulted, but this is not a reasonable thing to ask of a person. The more closely you examine other prevention strategies, the more problems you will likely identify with them. Many other strategies may be completely ineffective, even if they are implemented correctly. Keep in mind that people may still be the victims of violent crimes even if they take all reasonable precautions to protect themselves.
