Q: Use your regular shampoo and a deep conditioner. Starting with clean hair will make it easier to wrap your hair. This should improve the PH balance of the hair. It can also help it to stay moisturized. This is best for natural and very dry hair. Skip this step if your hair is already relaxed.
A: Wash your hair. Apply a leave-in conditioner or setting lotion to the hair from roots to ends. Consider applying a natural oil, such as argon, jojoba or Moroccan oil, to each section individually.

Q: Use a meaningful name such as "Personal Budget," "Personal Expense Tracking," or something similar. (Exclude the quotes when entering the name; they're used here only to show that the names are examples.) Suggested titles and order are "Date," "Payee Category" (or "Pay To"), "Memo," "Expense," "Revenue" (or "Income" or "Deposit"), and "Balance." Enter these titles in Cells A2 through G2; you may need to adjust the column widths to accommodate long column titles or entries. Once you've set up the spreadsheet title and column headings, use the "Freeze Panes" feature to keep these headings at the top of the display while scrolling through your entries. Freeze Panes is located on the "View" menu in Excel 2003 and earlier and in the "Window" group of the "View" menu ribbon in Excel 2007 and 2010. Because this is the first balance entry, the balance will be determined by taking the difference between the expense and the revenue. How you set this up depends on the whether you want to look at expenses or cash on hand. If you're setting the spreadsheet up to look primarily at your expenses, the balance formula would be =E3-F3, where E3 is the cell representing the expense and F3 is the cell representing the revenue. Setting up the formula this way will make the total of your expenses a positive number, which will be easier to understand. If you're setting the spreadsheet up to keep a running tab on your cash on hand, the balance formula would be =F3-E3. Setting the spreadsheet up this way will show the balance as positive when your cash flow exceeds your expenses and negative when you have more expenses than revenue. Because the second and subsequent entries will keep a running balance, you need to add the result of the difference between the expense and revenue to the value of the balance for the previous entry. If you're setting the spreadsheet up to look primarily at your expenses, the balance formula would be =G3+(E4-F4), where G3 is the cell representing the previous balance, E4 is the cell representing the expense and F4 is the cell representing the revenue. If you're setting the spreadsheet up to keep a running tab on your cash on hand, the balance formula would be =G3+(F4-E4). The parentheses around the cells representing the difference between expenses and revenue aren't necessary; they're included just to make the formula concept a bit clearer. If you want to keep the cell with the balance empty until a complete entry has been made, you can use an IF statement in the formula so that if a date hasn't been entered, the balance cell won't display a value. The formula for this, for the second entry, reads =IF(A4="","",G3+(E4-F4)) if you're setting the spreadsheet up to track expenses, and it reads =IF(A4="","", G3+(F4-E4)) if you're setting the spreadsheet up to show cash on hand. (You may omit the parentheses around the cells representing the expenses and revenue, but not the outer set of parentheses.) Right-click Cell G3 and select "Copy" from the popup menu; then drag to select the cells below it in the column. Right-click the selected cells, and select "Paste" from the popup menu to paste the formula into the selected cells. (In Excel 2010, choose either the "Paste" or "Paste Formulas" option on the popup menu.) The formula will automatically update the cell references to indicate the expense, revenue, and date (if used) references from the current row and the balance reference from the row above the current row. Give the spreadsheet a meaningful name, such as "Expense Tracking.xls" or "PersonalBudget.xls." As with a template-based budget spreadsheet, you may want to include your name and the year in the file name. (Again, note that the quote marks are used only to show the example names and shouldn't be typed in. You also don't type in the file suffix; Excel provides it for you.) Excel 2003 and older save spreadsheet files in the older ".xls" format, while Excel 2007 and 2010 save spreadsheets in the newer XML-based ".xlsx" format but can read and save spreadsheets in the older ".xls" format as well. If you have several computers and plan to keep this spreadsheet on all of them, use the older format if any of your computers have Excel 2003 or older on them and the newer format if all your computers have at least Excel 2007.
A: Open Excel. Enter a name for the spreadsheet in Cell A1. Enter column titles in Row 2. Enter your first expense item in the cells of Row 3. Enter the balance formula in Cell G3. Enter your second expense item in the cells of Row 4. Enter the balance formula in Cell G4. Copy the balance formula into the other cells in Column G (the Balance column). Save the spreadsheet.

Q: Almond trees take some time to start producing nuts. Typically, this "waiting" period lasts about five years. However, depending on the species of tree, it can take as long as 12 years for it to reach full nut-producing capacity. Be patient a mature, healthy tree can produce over 40 pounds of nuts in a single harvest! Once an almond tree begins bearing fruit, it will do so every year for as long as 50 years, ensuring plenty of almonds for years to come.
A: Wait 5 years before expecting fruit.

Q: Oftentimes, loneliness stems from the thought that your own experience is drastically different from that of others. But we all experience the same emotions, from joy and love to disappointment and anger. Consider how the human experience is universal. If you're feeling lonely, it can help to have a brief conversation with the grocery store clerk or the bank teller. This will help you feel a connection with someone, even if you don't have a lengthy conversation with this person. Even a simple act like saying hello to your neighbor can help you feel more connected. This might even be the impetus you need to start a conversation that will result in a lifelong friendship. You might feel lonely because you're shy or because you're new to a school. One of the ways to overcome loneliness is to be brave and take a risk. Put yourself out there by starting a conversation with someone who seems interesting. Or, ask an acquaintance if they'd like to go on a hike with you. You never know. This person might feel just as lonely as you and might appreciate your invitation. You may feel lonely because you have specialized interests. Perhaps you're really into mountain biking, but you don't know anyone else who does this too. Search online for a club in your community that does this activity. If you can't find someone in your local area, chances are you will be able to locate a group that gathers virtually. When you feel lonely, you tend to focus on your own feelings and how your needs are not being met. If you turn your attention to the needs of others, you can redirect your emotions. Find a nonprofit organization in your community. You can volunteer at an animal shelter, for example.
A:
Think about the similarities between you and others. Make small-talk with people you interact with. Put yourself out there. Connect with people with similar interests. Volunteer in your community.
