Some newer toilets are equipped with more modern one-piece floats (also sometimes known as "floating cups") instead of the older ball-and-arm design. These types of floats have been engineered as solid cylinders fitted to the shaft of the fill valve itself. If you have a fill valve with a cylinder float, you can adjust the water level in your toilet in just a few seconds. Cylinder valves are easy to install, remove and perform maintenance on, and more user-friendly for individuals less experienced with home repairs. Remove the lid from the tank and set it aside on a flat surface, like a table. Be careful not to drop the lid or set it near the edge of a surface, as most toilet lids are ceramic and break easily. After the toilet lid is removed, check the water levelif it seems higher or lower than 12 inches (2.55.1cm) below the fill valve and overflow tube, it may need adjustments. Locate the external water valve on the wallit should be behind your toilet, beneath the bowl. Rotate the knob clockwise as far as it will go. When it won't go any farther, flush the toilet and continue flushing until the tank is empty. The adjustment stem is a long, slender tube that connects to the larger fill valve. In most models, it will either run parallel with the valve or extend horizontally out from the top. The adjustment stem is used to increase or decrease the amount of water in the tank. Familiarize yourself with the mechanisms inside your toilet tank before making any drastic changes. Refer to the instruction manual or manufacturer's website if available. Some cylinder floats can be positioned by squeezing a release clip on the float itself and raising or lowering it to the desired height. Raising the dial will raise the water level, and lowering it should lower the water level. If your float has a release clip, squeeze it to adjust it to the desired height. If not, however, you will need to locate the toilet's adjustment dial. Use 2 fingers to grasp the notched dial on the end of the stem. Twist the stem clockwise or counterclockwise a full rotationclockwise to lower the height or counterclockwise to raise it. Once you've found a suitable height for the float, replace the toilet lid and turn the water valve back on. If you're having trouble turning the adjustment stem, check for a screwdriver notch. Some adjustment dials are secured by screws. Do not turn the notch more than 1 full rotation at a time. If your toilet water level is adjusted too suddenly, it can cause inconsistent flushing. Flush the toilet a couple of times to check whether the water level in the bowl has lowered or risen. The bowl should be about halfway full. If not, continue fine-tuning the float until you reach your desired height. Call a plumber if, after several adjustments, the level still seems off.

Summary: Identify the cylinder float. Lift off the toilet tank lid. Turn off the water supply before you work on the float. Locate the adjustment stem on the side of the float. Check for a release clip on the float. Raise or lower the float 12 inch (1.3cm). Test the toilet level height after you have turned the water valve on.

The further away from the fingers it is, the more sympathetic and understanding the person will be. If the heart line hugs close to the fingers, the person will be unfeeling, unsympathetic and critical.

Summary: Determine this by how far down the palm the heart line is.

Creatine powder usually comes in a large plastic container with a scoop inside for measuring out the correct dosage. Go to a nutrition store or health food store and select a powder to use. Some creatine comes in pure form, and other powders are mixed with sugar so you can create a sweet energy drink. Avoid liquid creatine. Creatine begins degrading the moment it is mixed with water, so packaged liquid creatine is actually creatine waste. Manufacturers of such products are pulling a fast one on consumers. Creatine has been tested in multiple studies and is considered safe to use, but since it is a supplement, it has not been formally approved by the FDA. Check with your doctor if you're taking medication or have a condition that might be affected by taking a supplement. Creatine manufacturers recommend starting out with a high dosage of creatine and gradually waning to a "maintenance" dose to maintain creatine levels in your body. It is also common to forego the loading period and base your dosage on body weight. Loading is said to be safe for the body and help the consumer see results - bigger, stronger muscles - in just a few days. Creatine may affect insulin levels, so if you have a condition related to high or low blood sugar, use caution when taking high doses. You may want to consider the more moderate body weight-based method. It doesn't matter when you take your creatine; whether you consume it in the morning or at night, it will have the same effect on your body. However, for best results, consume it at the same time each day so that your body has time to process one dose before you consume the next one. Some people like to take creatine right before a workout, but its effects aren't instant, so it doesn't actually provide an immediate energy boost for weight-lifting and other exercises. If you want to take creatine on the go, bring a separate water bottle and store the creatine dry. If you premix it, the creatine will degrade.

Summary: Choose a creatine powder. Decide whether to "load" or base your dosage on your body weight. Take creatine at the same time every day.

Your parents are going to feel ambushed and be more likely to say no if you ask them to let you make an account as soon as they walk in the door or wake up in the morning. Choose a calm time during the day when they aren't doing anything important. Pick a day when they seem like they're content to get the most positive response. Don't try to make your parents happy beforehand by being nicer than you normally are. They'll notice that you're only being nice to get what you want. Try to talk to both parents at the same time. If you only ask one of your parents when the other isn't around, they're likely to say they need to talk with your other parent first before giving you an answer. Start the conversation by letting them know what you want to talk about. Say, "I'd like to talk to you about making a YouTube account," and give them a second to ask questions before stating your case. If you pester your parents or ask them frequently, they're going to think that you're going to get addicted to YouTube. This will make them more inclined to forbid you from getting a YouTube account, so give them time to think about it after you ask. Wait at least 3-4 days before asking them again if they say no the first time. One of the worst things that you can do is throw a tantrum if your parents say no. If you lose your cool, it will only confirm for them that you aren't mature enough for a YouTube account. In fact, if you take the rejection like an adult it may help them change their mind in the future. Even if you really want to talk back, never show your parents disrespect when trying to get something. It will only work against you. If you find yourself getting frustrated, try slowing your breathing down and counting from 1 to 10 in your head. This is a simple way to calm down when you're frustrated.
Summary: Ask your parents when they're in a good mood. Give your parents time to consider it and don't bother them about it. Stay calm if you aren't getting what you want.
