Q: You'll need some wired ribbon, some tulle, scissors, and twist ties. Use your scissors to cut two to three feet lengths of both the wired ribbon and the tulle. Set these bow tails aside. Follow the loop making process to make 8 to 12 loops out of the wired ribbon. Make sure to hold the bow in the center while you do this, and try to keep the loops about the same length. Wrap a twist tie around the center of the ribbon bow and twist it tight so that the bow keeps its shape. Fold the length of ribbon to be used for a tail in half, and place the center against the center of the bow. Then undo the twist tie and redo it with the tail attached to the center of the bow. Follow the loop making process to make 8 to 12 loops out of the tulle. Make sure to hold the bow in the center while you do this, and try to keep the loops about the same length. Make these loops larger than the loops on the wired ribbon bow. Wrap a twist tie around the center of the tulle bow and twist it tight so that the bow keeps its shape. Fold the length of ribbon to be used for a tail in half, and place the center against the center of the bow. Then undo the twist tie and redo it with the tail attached to the center of the bow. Place the wired ribbon bow on top of the tulle bow and tie the two twist ties together so that the bows become one bow.
A: Gather your materials. Cut the tails for the bow. Make the wired ribbon bow loops. Tie the ribbon bow. Attach the tail. Make the tulle bow loops. Tie the tulle bow. Attach the tail. Attach the two bows.

Q: When you consistently do what you enjoy, you'll be happier and come off as more confident. Even if you feel what you're interested in isn't popular, you'll likely meet other people that share the same interests. Build a team of friends that will boost your confidence. Participate in your favorite activities and you'll meet friends who like the same things. Ask for phone numbers, email addresses, or social media accounts for fellow participants you click with to meet outside of your meeting. Make sure to follow up with them as well. Based on your unique interests, you may want to attend classes at a local library, join a herpetology club, or a writing group. There are so many different clubs available to meet new people. Even if it's just for a few minutes, chat with them and get to know more about them. People are genuinely welcoming to strangers. Ask how your waitresses day is going and show interest by waiting for a reply. Talk to fellow elevator passengers, even if it's about the weather. Most people lack the confidence required to be themselves. Incorporate easy ways to show the world who you really are. Over time, it becomes easier. Wear something silly and people will assume you're naturally confident. Try intentionally geeky glasses or mismatch colorful patterns. Be okay with having different viewpoints than other people. If you follow a certain religion or believe in a particular political candidate, you don't need to keep this to yourself. Aim to be true to yourself and your feelings. If someone hurts your feelings, let them know in a mature and rational conversation. Don't get too emotional about it, but be confident enough to speak up. People who know what they're talking about are more confident than people who don't. Invest time in learning new things so you can speak about them with others and use these new skills in your everyday life. Take a low-cost class in a subject that interests you at your local community center, library, or college. Enroll in an online class about something that interests you. Many websites offer MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses from well-regarded universities for free. Listen to podcasts on your smartphone. Some cover topics about history, technology, and even marketing.
A: Do the things that you love to do, and feel good about them. Hang out with new people or old ones you rarely see. Show off your confidence in everyday interactions. Learn new skills and always get better at old ones.

Q: Find friends that enjoy the same things you do or think similarly to you. Feel free to ask your friends what they think about certain tv shows, drinking, smoking, sex, classmates, and themselves. The more you know about someone, the easier it will be for you to decide whether she will make a good friend or not. You may find it difficult to become friends with popular kids and if you do, you may find it extremely difficult to keep the friendship because they may have many options and only be concerned with staying popular. They try to keep their status and may not be trustworthy or worth investing your time. It may be easiest to keep friends with similar schedules or who live close to you. Friends who play the same sports or who participate in the same clubs make it easier for you to see and interact with them frequently. Keeping friends in different schools may be difficult but you can schedule hanging out with them during the weekends, share an interest, or meet them to do an activity. Grow your newly formed friendship by taking it slow, being available, and by not being needy. Friendship should develop at your own pace. Don't rush into anything. Allow your friendship to grow by making time for your friend. Avoid being needy. Being needy can turn off any friend. Don't be relentless with your attempts to become friends.
A: Find the right fit. Be wary of popular kids. Check out your schedule. Nurture new friendships.

Q: The pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. A solution with a high concentration of hydrogen ions is acidic. A solution with a low amount of hydrogen ions is basic, or also known as alkaline. Hydrogen ions, also known as hydronium, are written shorthand as H+ or H3O+. Know the pH scale. The pH scale is usually presented from 0 to 14. The lower the number, the more acidic the solution. The higher the number, the more basic the solution. For example, orange juice would have a pH of 2 because it is quite acidic. In contrast, bleach has a pH of 12 as it is quite basic. Numbers in the middle of the scale are neutral, such as water, with a pH of 7. One level of pH is a 10x difference. For example, when comparing pH 7 to pH 6, pH 6 is ten times more acidic than pH 7. Furthermore, pH 6 would be 100 times more acidic than pH 8. The pH scale is calculated by a negative logarithm. A negative logarithm of base b is simply how many times a number must be divided by b to reach 1. The pH equation can be seen as follows: pH = -log10[H3O+]. The equation can sometimes be seen as pH = -log10[H+]. Know that whether the equation has H3O+ or H+, they are the same. It is not vital to have a firm understanding of what a negative log is to calculate pH. Most calculators used at high school and post secondary level will have a log button. Concentration is the number of particles of a compound in a solution relative to the volume of the same solution. For pH, you have to use molar concentration for the formula to work out. Molar concentration, which is also called molarity, denotes the number of moles of dissolved compound per liter of solution. Its units are moles per liter (mol/L), also called molar (M). If you're using a solution in a lab, the concentration will be written on the bottle. When working on your chemistry homework, the concentration will usually be given to you.
A:
Know what pH actually is. Define pH in an equation. Understand concentration.
