Problem: Article: Latitude and longitude are represented by numbers, known as degrees, which measure your distance from two "zero lines." Longitude measures your distance East or West of the prime meridian, and latitude measure your distance North or South of the equator. This is the most accurate system of measurement for your GPS. An example (guess where it is!), is 3726'46.9"N, 12209'57.0"W. Sometimes direction is noted by positive or negative numbers. North and East are considered positive. The previous example could be written as: 3726'46.9", -12209'57.0" If there is no notation, know that the latitude always comes first. Waypoints are saved in the GPS to be viewed later, allowing you to take notes, draw maps, and keep information on the landscape easily. On your GPS, click "Save Location," "Add to Favorites," or "Mark Waypoint." Complex scientific GPS systems often let you mark specific waypoints -- artifacts, streams, rock formations, etc. The more points your save into your GPS, the more accurate your map of the area when you get home. Plug in the longitude/latitude coordinates of water sources, campgrounds, or ranger stations under "Get Directions" or "Find Location," then save them by clicking "Add to Favorites." You can now access it anytime. "Add to Favorites" might be labeled by a star or flag as well. Click "Saved Locations" or "Favorite Locations" to see you waypoints anytime. You can click on them to get directions from anywhere in the world. Most complex GPS systems come with software that lets you save your data onto your computer. The program will import your way points and use them to make a map of the area you were in, complete with elevation data and any notes you made on your GPS. If you are mapping a specific area, make as many waypoints as you can for an accurate map. The more data the program has, the better the final product.
Summary: Learn to read latitude and longitude coordinates. Mark your current location as a waypoint. Set waypoints in advance if there are no addresses. Plug your GPS into your computer to download the data.

Problem: Article: Once you disconnect the hose from the spigot, water will begin to flow out of the waterbed, into the hose, and onto the ground outside your home. You can also drain the water into a sink or a tub. If you want to use a siphon pump to speed up the process of draining the bed, you need to hook it up it up to the end of the hose that is outside. This should be done immediately after you disconnect the hose from the spigot. After you connect the pump, quickly power it on. By placing heavy objects, like books, around the valve, you'll depress the valve and lower it in comparison to the rest of the waterbed. This will aid in draining the bed. As the mattress empties, you will need to start rolling the mattress from the head of the bed toward the valve. Do so slowly and methodically. Make sure you force water out of the part of the mattress that you are rolling. The mattress will probably need to be about 75% empty before you start rolling it. Be careful as to not put too much pressure on the valve. After you've emptied the clear majority of the mattress over 90% -- you may need to carry it outside to help drain more. When you do this, place the mattress on a soft, non-abrasive surface, upside down. Hold the end opposite the valve up and shake any remaining water out of the mattress.
Summary: Disconnect the hose from the spigot. Attach a siphon pump, if you have one. Place heavy objects around the valve. Roll the mattress toward the valve. Carry the mattress outside and empty it completely.

Problem: Article: Give your friends a call or send them a text to chat without needing to see them in person. Set up a group chat and add several friends' phone number to the contact list. Text is a great way of contacting everyone at once if you are setting up a time to hang out. Give your parents or siblings a call to see how they've been. Family members are friends too! Ask about your extended family and see if there are any family events being planned that you can attend. It is always easier to come up with fun ideas to do once everyone is together. You can have fun at home or go out and find something to do. Head to a restaurant. Getting food is a fun and important social experience that brings people together and strengthens social ties. Just make sure everyone puts down the cell phone. Let everyone have some input. Just because you arranged the hang out doesn't mean that you own the floor. Find out what sounds agreeable for everyone and come to a consensus on what to do next. There are a variety of different activity groups you can join with your friends. Fitness, martial arts, dance and drama are a few examples of social clubs present in many cities. These groups are a great way to meet new people. Sign up for online communities such as Meetup, Tribe, and Picatic to find existing communities located close to your area. Clubs exist even for activities which are considered solo activities, such as reading or painting. You can get together to discuss the reading or share techniques. College is a great place to join a club and meet people to hang out with on a regular basis. See if one of your friends knows of any upcoming parties and if others are invited. Or you can hold your own invite your friends and let them invite friends of theirs. Make sure you party responsibly. Don't get too carried away and respect the environment if you aren't holding the party. If you are hosting the party, set some rules for the party guests to keep things from getting out of control. For example, set a drink limit or make sure they have a safe way home if they plan on drinking. Use a taxi service such as Uber or Lyft if you need to get home from a party, but don't have a designated driver who can give you a ride. Jump in the car and go for a road trip, or take a long hike at a nearby nature reserve. Even the mall can make for a fun, short trip. Make sure everyone has enough time to see the trip through from start to finish. If taking a longer trip or road trip, make sure you have enough money and supplies to last the expected time the trip will last, as well as an emergency stash just in case. Plan ahead. The more complicated the trip, the more research you should perform ahead of time. Plan a general route and take note of important stops such as gas stations, hotels and hospitals. Let others close to you know where you are going if you are going to be gone for an extended period of time.
Summary:
Phone or text your friends. Invite some friends over. Join an activity group. Go to a party. Go on a long or short journey, trip, or adventure.
