A striped or high-contrast, patterned tie won't look good with an Eldredge knot. Because there are so many folds in the knot, a striped or patterned tie will just look like a jumbled mess. Solid colored ties are the best option for an Eldredge knot. Make sure you have your collar raised when you drape the tie around your neck. Let the tie hang so that the wide end is on your right and the narrow end is on your left. Make sure the seams are facing inward. Adjust the tie so that the wide end is hanging down where you want it when you finish. Most people prefer the tip of the tie to hang just above the waistline. Start by pinching the wide end with your left hand to make a dimple. Then, when pulling the narrow end across, try to make it as perpendicular to the wide end as you can, so that you end up with a cross shape. You don't need to move the wide end of the tie when tying an Eldredge Knot. When wrapping the narrow end behind the wide end from right to left, make it as perpendicular to the wide end as you can. Pinching the spot where the narrow end crossed over the front of the wide end will help you keep the crossing tight. Practice in front of a mirror so you can see your progress from another angle.

summary: Choose a plain tie for an Eldredge knot. Drape the tie around your open collar. Cross the narrow end over the front of the wide end. Wrap the narrow end around the back of the wide end.

Determine what size objects and how much weight you will carry to school. Also think about what sorts of pockets you will need. College students will have different needs from those of first-graders. Some things to keep in mind include: Do you need a compartment for your computer? Do you need a place to put your lunch? Do you need places to put pens, keys, or other small objects? Do you want water bottle holders or mobile phone pockets? How many binders, notebooks, and books will you need to carry at once? The fabric a backpack is made of will determine its weight, breathability, and durability. New synthetic fabrics will last longest, but leather ages with more character. Synthetic fabrics are lighter-weight than leather. If you choose a leather bag it will be much heavier even before you begin to load it. Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon are more water-resistant than natural fibers like cotton. Natural fibers like hemp are more environmentally sustainable than synthetics. If you care about having an eco-friendly bag choose a natural fiber. Look closely at the closures for the pockets and make sure they are sturdy and easy to close. Choose double-headed zippers for easiest access. Look for heavy-duty zippers that will hold up over time. Style is an important feature of a school backpack. You will want a bag that looks good and is also similar to backpacks that are currently in style. Prints are fashionable right now, but consider solid colors too because you will wear the bag every day and it has to match a lot of outfits. About half of the backpacks sold by one of the biggest companies, Jansport, are black. If you want a sleek, timeless bag that will fit in with the crowd you can't go wrong with a black backpack. Try an eco-friendly bag. Backpacks made from recycled or sustainable materials are very trendy.

summary: Consider size and pockets. Choose a fabric. Check the zippers. Consider current fashions.

In most cases, a stiff neck can be relieved immediately by performing a series of exercises to relieve tension caused by tight or strained neck muscles. Stretch the muscles in the front and back of your neck by tilting your chin toward your chest. Then bring your chin up toward the sky. Repeat for several minutes. If this exercise feels painful, don't tilt your head too far forward or backward. Just try enough movement to feel a little stretch. Stretch the muscles in the sides of your neck by tilting your head toward one shoulder and then toward the other. Continue doing so until the pain eases a bit and the muscles feel less tense. This is often the most painful motion you can make when you have a stiff neck, so ease into it slowly. Keep turning your head from left to right for several minutes. For the first few days after you start getting a stiff neck, it's a good idea to decrease the amount of physical activity. This will help reduce symptoms and relieve some of the inflammation you may be experiencing. Avoid the following sports or exercises for the first 2 to 3 weeks after the stiff neck appears: Football, rugby, hockey, or any other high-contact sports Golf Running or jogging Weightlifting Ballet Sit-ups and leg lifts
summary: Nod your head forward and backward. Tilt your head from side to side. Turn your head from left to right. Reduce heavy physical activity.
