This method will work best on shoes that are made completely out of canvas, such as Vans and Toms. If you have a pair of shoes that lace up or have a rubber toe cap, try this method instead. Here's a list of what you'll need: Canvas sneakers Bleach Water Plastic tub Rubber gloves If your sneakers have inserts inside, you can pull those out and set them aside. This way, they will be their original color when you put them back in. This can create a nice contrast. You want to protect your hands from the bleach solution. For a stronger solution, use one part bleach and one part water. For a weaker solution, use one part bleach and two parts water. The water-bleach solution needs to be deep enough so that you can submerge the shoes completely. The plastic tub needs to be long enough so that you can sit your shoes inside. Try to set them upside down in the tub. This way, more of the fabric gets covered with bleach. This will take one to five hours, depending on how dark the shoes are to begin with, and how light you want them to become. Keep in mind that some of the darker colors will never fully turn white. Some colors, such as black, will turn orange or brown. Be sure to check back on the shoes every 10 to 60 minutes. This will stop the bleach from acting. It will also get rid of the smell. It will take about three hours for them to fully dry.

Summary: Gather your supplies. Consider removing the inserts. Put on a pair of rubber gloves. Fill a plastic tub with bleach and water. Place your sneakers in the plastic tub. Leave the sneakers in the tub until you get the desired effect. Take the shoes out of the bleach solution and wash them using soap and water. Let the shoes dry before lacing them back up.

To calculate the normal force of an object at an angle, you need to use the formula: N = m * g * cos(x) For this equation, N refers to the normal force, m refers to the object's mass, g refers to the acceleration of gravity, and x refers to the angle of incline. Example: Find the normal force of a block with a mass of 4.2 kg, sitting on a ramp with an incline of 45 degrees. The cosign of an angle equals the sine of the complementary angle, or the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the incline. This value is often determined by a calculator, since the cosine of any angle is constant to that angle, but you can compute it manually, as well. Example: cos (45) = 0.71 The weight of an object equals the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. Note that the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface is a constant: g = 9.8 m/s2 Example: weight = m * g = 4.2 * 9.8 = 41.16 In order to find the normal force, you need to multiply the weight of the object by the cosine of the angle of incline. Example: N = m * g * cos(x) = 41.16 * 0.71 = 29.1 The previous step should complete the problem and give you your answer. Note that for an object sitting on an incline, the normal force should be less than the weight of the object. Example: The normal force is 29.1 N.

Summary: Use the right equation. Find the cosine of the angle. Find the object's weight. Multiply the two values together. Write your answer.

You are likely to get many questions about your deceased loved one, so make sure that the story is believable. Get your facts straightened out, stay focused, and think about how you're going to speak about the death. Telling your boss that your close relative or spouse has died could lead to problems if the person texts your or shows up at your job! By choosing a distant relative you barely know, there's little chance for a slip up. Choose a great-grandmother instead of your mother, or your cousin instead of your sister. Whether you send an email, call in or talk to your boss face to face, there will be a different set of clues that tell them you're lying. Your voice, facial expression or demeanor could all be tips that the story is fake. Because they'll only have your voice as a clue to whether you're lying, rather than your eye contact or facial expressions, this may be the best option. Say: "I've had a death in the family and you will need some time off." Answer any questions your boss may have and keep it short. Stay consistent with the story you made up. Try to sound sad, and if you want, sniff and cough often to make it sound as though you've been crying. It may help story come across as more sincere and it might fit with your story better if the fake death happens during work. It's morally questionable to lie to your boss, especially to their face, but if you stay relaxed you can avoid being caught. Tell your boss about the situation, and ask for time off. Maintain eye contact with your boss, and think about how they may perceive your body language. Steady eye contact and relaxed, but slouched posture will help your boss think that you're both telling the truth and genuinely sad. Make yourself cry if you think it is appropriate. Think of a truly sad thought or stare at a bright light until your eyes begin to water before you meet with your supervisor. If you send an email, there'll be practically no way for your boss to know if you're lying or not. Emailing isn't an acceptable method for skipping work at many companies, but if it's alright, write a short, succinct email about the death and that you need a few days off. Many employers will be more than happy to let you take time off for a death, but others may be more skeptical. If they ask for proof, be prepared to back it up with some falsified evidence, but be very careful as you'll only make the lie more offensive if you're caught. Find an obituary in a local paper that matches the story you told. You'll be moving even further in a morally wrong direction, but if an obituary seems close enough, you can turn that in to your boss as is. It's also possible to photoshop an obituary by taking the existing text and adding the right name in the same font. For a really gutsy move, fake a death certificate. Death certificates are available online, and need only to have their information changed in Photoshop or Paint. Be aware that this could lead to serious repercussions if you're caught, and could be illegal depending on where you live! Once your boss is satisfied with the information you've given, work with them to determine which days you'll take off, including a day for the funeral.
Summary: Plan your story before speaking with anyone. Consider choosing a distant relative. Decide how to tell the story. Call in to work. Tell your boss in person. Write an email. Be prepared to show proof. Schedule your day off!
