This tool is especially useful in classrooms, where teachers can assign their students numbers and then use this tool to call on them to answer questions or read aloud. It is also helpful in choosing winners for giveaways, as it removes any human bias or error in choosing a winner (in the case that the winner is to be chosen randomly). There are a variety of websites available for this.

Wear a tight-fitting shirt and pants so it'll be easier to hula hoop and so the hoop won't get caught on any loose clothing. Comfortable shoes will also make it easier for you to hula hoop. They don't have to be athletic shoes, and the choice of even wearing shoes at all, is optional. It will neither influence nor harm your attempt to hula hoop. Avoid wearing any bracelets or any dangling jewelry that can get caught in the hula hoop. Step one foot in front of the other to gain balance. Relax the hoop against one side of your torso.

Summary: Put on athletic clothing. Bring the hula hoop up to your waist level. Grip the hoop firmly with two hands.

During the spring and summer months, your home might need the extra coolness a box fan provides. At the change of the season, maintain the fan and prepare it properly by cleaning it before you store it. Disassemble it, soak it, wipe it down, and reassemble it. Cover the box fan for the fall and/or winter season to keep it clean, pristine, and ready for use when the weather warms up again. Cut a shape that fits perfectly over the sides of the box fan covers to shield it from dust and dirt. Tape the bag into place over the fan or tie around it with a thin cord. Now put it away until spring.

Summary: Give your fan a deep cleaning. Prevent dust from settling on your fan by putting it in storage. Use a brown bag or trash bag to store the box fan.

While it is painful to accept, your girlfriend may have moved on since your break-up. Before approaching her again, keep in mind that she may not want to get back together with you. If she rejects you, don't take it personally. Maybe there was a reason why you broke up in the first place. Calling her might feel too forward, so ease in with a text. Let her know you are thinking about her. Maybe you heard a song that reminds you of her? Or, you re-watched movie that you two had seen together. Keep it light and friendly, and ask her how she's doing. You might say something like, "Hey! I was walking in the mall and I heard our favorite song... it made me think of you. How are things?" If she doesn't text back right away, don't despair. She might just be thinking of the right thing to say. If she responds positively, consider asking her out to a social event as friends. You could invite her to a school basketball game, or to eat lunch together in the cafeteria. See her in a public setting with other friends so she feels more comfortable. Make a list of your girlfriend's favorite things and activities. Does she have a favorite musician that is playing an upcoming concert? You could find tickets and surprise her with them. Or, if she just got her driver's license, you could find a cool key chain that is relevant to one of her hobbies (like a tennis ball key chain if she plays tennis). However, you don't have to spend money to show that you care. If she told you she has a test coming up, call or text her afterwards and ask how it went. Offer support if she's feeling anxious. Simply being thoughtful and listening will show that you want to be involved in her life.
Summary: Do not expect that she still likes you. Send her a text. Ask her to spend time together as friends. Show her that you care about her.
