Get a teapot with a tea basket that sit on the top. Add enough boiling water so that it doesn't touch the top basket and ruin the tobacco. Put the tobacco in the basket. Cover the teapot and leave it sit for 30 minutes. Check the tobacco to see if it is moist enough. Leave the tobacco in longer if it isn't. Pre-heat a steam iron to the hottest setting. Place a newspaper on a heat resistant surface. Spread your tobacco out onto the newspaper. Use a spray nozzle to spray the tobacco with water once or twice. Hold the iron above the tobacco and let steam for 10 seconds. Be careful not to touch the iron to the tobacco. Put the tobacco in a clean, stainless steel salad bowl. Wet the tobacco using a spray-bottle, and spray a fine mist over the tobacco 3 - 4 times. Mix up the tobacco with a spoon or spatula. Place the tobacco in a large jar with a vacuum-seal rubber-gasket lid that screws down. Heat the jar by putting it into an oven set at 200 F (~100 C) for 20 minutes or until jar feels hot to the touch. Let the jar stand for ten minutes. Remove the jar and let it cool overnight in a cool, dry place. Do not open until the next morning. Be sure to pack the tobacco down tightly and seal the lid tightly.

Summary: Use a teapot. Hydrate with a steam iron. Heat a vacuum sealed jar.

Ask your friend or relative to set each day's tone by reviewing the 2 or 3 things they appreciate most. Before they even get out of bed, they should stretch their arms out and breathe in as deeply as they can. As they stretch and breathe, they should concentrate on what or who makes them most grateful. Suggest that they think or say something like, "I am so fortunate to have people who love me, that I've slept in a warm bed, and that I didn't go to bed hungry. No matter what happens today, my life is filled with goodness." You might also recommend a gratitude app, such as Insight Timer, to help make it easier for the person to practice gratitude meditation. They could start by decorating a box or large glass jar. Each day, they should write things that they're grateful for on small strips of paper, then place the strips in the jar or box. As the jar fills up, it serves as a visual reminder of all the good things in their life.When they're feeling down, suggest that they reach into the jar and read a few notes. You and your loved one could send each other a daily text or email expressing something you appreciate about the other. You could each save the notes in a file on your phone or computer, then read them when either of you needs a pick-me-up. If noting qualities that you appreciate about each other seems awkward, you could express your gratitude indirectly by reminiscing about your friendship. You could send each other regular "throwback" texts or emails, like, "Remember when we went to that concert and you got to go up on stage?" or "The funniest picture of us came up on my social media memories today. We've had so many great times!"

Summary: Advise that they start each day with a gratitude meditation. Suggest that they keep a gratitude jar or box. Exchange regular gratitude notes with each other.

Read up on your new passion. Talk with people who have experienced it for themselves. Check out books from the library. Take classes. The more you know about your passion, the better-equipped you'll be to make the transition. For example, if you've decided to start your own business, you need to know how to do that. What skills do you need? What funding, products, etc., will you need to set up before you can open your doors? Talking with people in the career or area you feel passionate about can be extremely helpful. Generally, people are happy to give you advice and tell you how they've made their way. They can also tell you the less-exciting stuff about your new passion, which is important to know now so it doesn't surprise you later. It can be incredibly tempting to ditch your old unfulfilling job and dive headfirst into the new career you've just discovered. However, it's a good idea to test your new discovery before leaving the stability of your old job. Everyone can be passionate about something new and exciting for a few days. When you discover the unpleasant or even dull aspects of your new discovery and still love it, that's when you know it's right for you. For example, becoming a chef might seem like the ideal career for you, but it's easy to glamorize something when you're not living in it day to day. Taking a culinary class -- or even enrolling in culinary school -- will familiarize you with the nitty-gritty details, such as the insanely long hours, hot kitchens, and generally low pay. Once you know the worst about your new interest and still can't imagine yourself doing anything else, you can feel confident that you've found a real passion. If you feel stuck at a dead-end job that fulfills none of your needs except paying the rent every month, commit to finding something else. You may even find that quitting before you've found another job motivates you to work harder. This is because of a little something called the "zone of optimal anxiety," a psychological phenomenon where being in an unfamiliar situation causes just enough anxiety to make you work harder and think more creatively. Be aware, however, that too much stress is as bad for your performance as too little. If you leave your unfulfilling job without any savings or other ideas and have a mortgage, student loans, and your kid's tuition to cover, you might find yourself overwhelmed with so much stress that you can't function.

Summary: Do your research. Avoid jumping into a new job just on instinct. Commit to leaving when it just feels wrong.

To make a clay model of a cell, you'll need: A small or medium sized styrofoam ball. A package of colorful clay (feel free to also use Play-Doh or Crayola's Model Magic) Toothpicks Labels The size of the ball you use depends on how detailed you want to make the parts. Keep in mind a larger styrofoam ball will give you more room and flexibility to work. You can cover the entire half piece of Styrofoam with clay if you want to make the top of the ball a certain color. It may be helpful to have a printout or image of the cell to ensure all of the cell components are represented. Be sure to use different colored clay for each component to distinguish them from each other. Add the components to the flat side of the styrofoam using toothpicks. If you're making a plant cell, remember to add a cell wall to your model. You can do this by taping the labels to toothpicks or pins and sticking the pins into the styrofoam ball next to the applicable component.
Summary: Gather your materials. Cut the styrofoam ball in half. Cover the flat side of the styrofoam ball with clay. Make the different cell parts out of various colors of clay. Attach labels to the cell parts.
