Problem: Article: Experienced players won't throw a rock for their first move, so you should lead with scissors. This way you can beat their paper or tie if they also lead with scissors. Experienced players also think that beginners would most likely set down a rock so they would obviously do paper. And scissors beats paper so that would be a good move. If your opponent won a round, you have to predict whether they would use that move again, or if they would do a different one depending on their level on skill. Beginner- Probably the same move. Medium- They would most likely pull a rock. Expert- Most likely scissors, or whatever move you used last time. They want to surprise you so for example, if you did scissors and they beat you with rock, chances are they're doing scissors next so prepare to do rock. For example, if your opponent just beat you with a rock, you should switch your next move to paper to beat the rock that your opponent will likely use again. Opponents often have tells in the way they position their hands that will let you know what move they might be thinking about. For example, a tucked thumb in the crook of the index finger suggests that your opponent will throw rock. A loose hand is usually going to result in paper. A hand that has the first two fingers loose is likely going to be scissors. Tell your opponent that you're going to use a rock move. Telling your opponent your next move will have them thinking that you won't actually throw that move. Then when you do actually throw that move, you'll have a greater chance of beating them since they weren't expecting it. But, if you keep doing it, they'll figure it out. Maybe once or twice, but no more. If you're not playing an experienced player, they'll probably think you're actually throwing what you announced. For example, tell your opponent you're going to throw a rock. Since your opponent thinks you won't actually lead with a rock, they'll assume you're going to play paper or scissors. Your opponent will then likely play scissors or rock to beat your paper or scissors. Then when you play rock, you either beat their scissors or draw a stalemate to their rock. In either case, you don't lose! If your opponent is repeatedly losing they're more likely to throw rock, since this is symbolically a very aggressive option that players rely on when losing. On the other hand, paper is seen as the most passive move so you won't expect this from an opponent who's losing. When you're at a loss of what to do, throw paper. Because scissors is the statistically least often thrown move, and because rock is the most often thrown move, paper is the best way to go. Paper will beat rock, which is the most commonly thrown move. Scissors can beat paper, but because it's the least often thrown move the chances of losing are much less likely.
Summary: Play scissors or rock in the first round. Switch moves if you lose. Look for tells. Announce your throw. Watch for your opponent's frustration. Go for paper to win by statistics.

Problem: Article: This is great for leather collars that have taken a swim with Fido in stinky water. Remove the collar from the dog, then coat the collar with the lather. Remove visible grime and try to cover all of the collar to help lift the odor. Once rinsed, sniff the collar to see if it smells better. If not, soap and rinse again, then repeat the process until the odor is gone. Either lay on a towel to dry or hang it up and air dry out of direct sunlight. Hopefully the collar smells a whole lot better now!
Summary: Use this method to remove scent from leather collars. Lather up the peppermint soap. Scrub the collar with a toothbrush. Rinse in very hot water. Let dry.

Problem: Article: When a person first wakes up, they experience what's known as sleep inertia,which interferes with a person's ability to do basic tasks efficiently. You should allot extra time to basic things like getting dressed and brushing your teeth, as these tasks take longer to complete than if you were completely awake and alert. Make sure to constantly have an eye on a clock so that you can determine if you are running late on a certain task. Break the morning into small, identifiable tasks. You should set a time restriction for each thing you have to do in the morning when you wake up. Limit your time on the other things you need to do. If you choose your outfit the night before it will eliminate extra time spent searching for something to wear. If you work in a professional environment make sure that your clothes are pressed and ready to be worn the night before. Remember to put things like your car keys or bus pass in the same place every night so you don't waste time looking for them. If you need to bring things with you to your appointment like paperwork or notes, make sure that you organize them the night before. Distractions make us less efficient and effective at tasks. Even simple things like having a television on or answering text messages could make us take longer to do certain things. Eliminate all distractions to maximize your time. Even if having the television on in the background is a habit, refrain from doing it if you are late. You don't want anything to be able to divert your attention from getting to where you need to go.
Summary: Don't underestimate your time. Prepare the night before. Turn off distractions.

Problem: Article: Minecraft allows you to easily start multiplayer games if you are all connected to the same local network. If you're at home, chances are all of your computers are connected to one network. Things may be a little more complicated in a school or work environment. Click here for details on configuring a network. You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to connect multiple remote computers together on one network. This can be great for getting friends from different places together without having to create a server. Click here for details on setting up a VPN for you and your friends. In order to connect to the game, all players must be playing the same version of Minecraft. Decide which computer will be starting the game, and then use the profile editor on all the computers to set the version to match. Start the Minecraft Launcher and click the Edit Profile button. Select the correct version from the "Use version" drop-down menu. This computer will be referred to as the "host", and should probably be whichever computer is most powerful. Load up one of your worlds in single-player mode on the host. Once the world has loaded, you can open the game up to anyone on your local network through the Pause menu. This will begin the process for setting up the network game, and a new menu will appear. You can choose between Survival, Adventure, and Creative modes, as well as toggle cheat codes on or off. Click the buttons to switch between options. The other computers on your network will now be able to connect to your game. Make sure that the computer is connected to the network, and that it is running the same version of Minecraft that the host computer is running. Minecraft will scan your network for any active games. The host computer Minecraft game should appear on the list. If the game doesn't appear, click the Direct Connect button and then enter the local IP address for the host computer. Click here for details on finding the IP address of the host. Your display should say LAN World above the game name. After selecting and joining, the world will load and you can begin playing. Once all of the players have joined, they may find themselves far away from the host, especially if the host has done a lot of exploring in the game already. The host can teleport each of the players so that they can all play together. On the host computer, press T to open the chat window, and then type /tp PlayerName HostName and press Enter. This will teleport the player named PlayerName to the host. Repeat this for all of the players. Make sure each of the players sleeps in a bed in your new location. This will ensure that they spawn there if they die.
Summary:
Ensure that all of the computers are connected to the same local network. Ensure all players are running the same version of Minecraft. Start a game on one of the computers. Press the Escape key to open the Pause menu. Click Open to LAN. Decide on your multiplayer game settings. Click Start LAN World to begin the multiplayer session.
