Article: Insert the SIM card for the new network to check that the phone is locked. Many S3s are actually unlocked out of the box, so checking first can save you a lot of time. Your phone must be running Android 4.1.1 (It doesn't work with some Android 4.3 either) or later in order for this method to work. You can check your device's version by opening Settings, and then scrolling to the bottom and selecting About Device. Look for Android Version to find your version number. To update your phone, open the Settings and then scroll down to About Device. In the next menu, select System Updates and then Check for Updates. Your phone will attempt to update over the network automatically. Perform the network update over a wireless network, since your new SIM doesn't have any connectivity yet. You cannot unlock S3s that run on the CDMA network. In the US, this is Sprint. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all run on the GSM network, which allows you to SIM-unlock the phone. This method is not guaranteed to work with all versions of the S3, but you will do no damage in trying. You will need to enter a code in the dialer to open the Service menu. Once the dialer is open, enter the following code: *#197328640# This will open the maintenance main menu. If you select the incorrect option, press the Menu button on your phone and select Back. This will open the Debug menu. This opens a menu allowing you to adjust the settings of your S3. This controls the SIM lock function. After you select this option, wait about 30 seconds. This will return you to the NETWORK LOCK menu. Wait about one minute after selecting this option. After you have waited about a minute, reboot the phone. You won't receive any confirmation that the process worked. If your phone connects to the new SIM card's network, then the unlock process worked.

Article: This will loosen the fibers of your suit and allow the dye to be more effective. For the best results, choose a white or light colored nylon suit. Use garbage bags, old towels, or an old tablecloth to protect surfaces. Work outside if possible. Acid dye will give you the best results. Choose one color for a monochrome design, or multiple colors for a more traditional tie dye look. Use rubber gloves to protect your skin while preparing the dye and while dyeing your swimsuit. Pull up small pieces of the fabric about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) apart and tie the material off with your rubber bands. Create interesting patterns by varying the amount of fabric you tie off and/or the spacing between each section. The longer you leave the suit in place, the darker the color will be. Rotate to a new section and a new color until the whole suit is covered with dye. Dyeing time can be anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes depending on the base color of the suit and how dark of a shade you want. When using multiple colors, expect some of the colors to run together at the edges and create a new color. This will add more interest and color to your suit and is preferable to leaving areas without dye coverage. If you are using only one color, you can use a large dye bath and fully submerge the suit once you've tied it off with rubber bands. When the water runs clear, wrap the suit in an old towel to remove any excess water and dye. Hang to dry. Place an old towel underneath the suit as it drys to catch any excess dye. The first few times the suit is washed, wash it alone in case it bleeds.

Take the rubber bands off and rinse the suit in hot water.
Article: At the end of the day try to think of three things that went well for you. Re-play those three things in your mind and write them down. In this way, you'll trick your mind into focusing on the positive. Expressing gratitude and kindness toward others will not only cheer you up, but other people too. Choose some important people in your life and send them a little reminder of what you like or appreciate about them. When you're feeling down, you'll probably notice negative thought patterns start to emerge. Put a stop to these thoughts by confronting them or challenging them with a positive counter-thought. For example, if you're feeling down about not getting to go outside lately because of bad weather and work, you can say "This won't last forever. I know I can find things indoors to cheer me up in the meantime." Take time to vent what you're frustrated or down about. While it's important not to overthink or overly focus on the negatives, it's also important not to ignore them. Instead of denying your feelings or keeping them bottled up inside, express yourself to a trusted friend. If you don't feel like talking, consider writing in a journal, painting, or drawing. If you're holding on to past hurts or resentments, let them go. They're only continuing to bring you pain and suffering if you still focus on them or think about them. Also let go of any mistakes you've made in the past or worries you have for the future. You cannot control those things.
