Open a heated flat iron and place it about 3/4 of the way up the strand. Close the flat iron and twist away from your face. Slowly draw the iron downwards to the ends. Repeat Steps 3-6 with the rest of your hair. Run a pick or your fingers through your hair. Add a bit of pomade or wax to finish."
article: You can let it air-dry or use a blow drier. Your hair should be completely dry before you begin curling. Avoid adding products at this point. Flat irons are most effective on hair that is clean and smooth. Make the part where you want it in the finished style. It can be 1- to 2-inches wide. Start from the front of your head or in the back, whichever is easiest for you. If you want your curls to start higher, place the iron closer to the roots. You should be holding the flat iron vertically, with the tip pointing upwards. Your flat iron needs to be thin (think 1-2 inches) with a rounded barrel. The heat from the iron heats up the barrel just enough to curl your hair. Make just one twist. Hold the twist you made in the previous step and gradually pass the rest of your hair through it. You may need to experiment with how slowly you go here. Holding the flat iron longer at the top ensures a full curl, rather than just curls at the ends. The longer you hold, the more curl you'll get. Don't open the iron at any point here: it should remain clamped shut. Work in small sections. Let your hair cool completely so that it is not warm to the touch. Then, loosen the curls if you like, or keep them tighter. Add volume and definition by warming a small amount of product in your palms and working it through your curls with your fingertips.

article: Most people have a friend or two who stresses them out. Maybe they make every situation dramatic, or they demand tons of emotional energy from you, or they tend to say passive-aggressive things that make you feel insecure. Whatever the case, you can lower your stress levels significantly by cutting these people out of your life and spending time with those who make you happy, energized, and positive about life.If you know a friend makes you anxious or sad, but you don't want to lose them entirely, try talking to them. Say something like, "I really value your friendship, but I get stressed out when you say mean things about our other friends. Could you tone it down so that we can continue to hang out in the future?" In general, it's good to be busy. A full schedule helps you avoid boredom and fight depression, but it can also apply unhealthy amounts of stress on your life and mind. Ask yourself how many of your commitments make you feel good and rewarded, and if any of them seem to strain you more than the others. If one or more of your activities stress you out and keep you up at night, you should consider cutting them out of your life. This simplification will free up some time in your schedule to do something you love, as well as make you more productive and engaged in the activities you continue. This doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing negotiation. For example, if you feel your babysitting workload or volunteering is taking up too much time but you still love it in principle, consider reducing your weekly hours. Ask a coach, parent, or boss to help you tweak your schedule to make it more manageable and rewarding. It might seem that physical exertion will sap your energy and make you feel even more exhausted, but in fact regular physical exercise will energize your body, increase your stamina, and positively impact your mood. Aim to get at least twenty minutes of aerobic exercisefor example, jogging, brisk walking, or cyclinga day in order to release natural endorphins, improve performance and brain power, and boost your immune system. If you already spend a lot of your time shut up alone in your room doing homework or studying, consider taking up a group physical activity such as rowing or yoga. This will give you all the physical benefits of running or cycling while also providing a valuable social stimulus. According to recent studies, teenagers are one of the most sleep-deprived demographics in society. This lack of sleep both reflects heightened stress levels and causes them. Not only does this nine hour downtime allow your brain and body some precious time to unplug from daily worries, it also enhances your performance in school and sports while brightening your overall mood. Some concrete ways to improve sleep include being more active during the day, limiting caffeine intake, and removing distractions such as laptops and television in the bedroom. If you're feeling sleepy in the middle of the afternoon, don't assume you have to fight through the drowsiness. Instead, take a twenty-minute nap to recharge your energy reserves and freshen your perspective on the task at hand.

Set the gas can on the ground near the opening for the car's gas tank. Feed both tubes into the tank. Use a rag to create a seal around the tubes. When ready, force air into the short tube. Monitor the flow of gas."

Any standard gas canister of sufficient volume will suffice, provided the container is a closed one. Because gasoline fumes can be hazardous to your health and because you never want to risk spilling gasoline, it's usually unwise or even dangerous to transport gas in a bucket or other open container. Siphoning involves sucking gas through a tube or hose into its new container. Clear tubing is desirable because it allows you to see the gasoline move through the tube, but, because this particular method doesn't carry any risk of gasoline getting in your mouth, opaque tubing will do in a pinch. For this method, you'll want two lengths of tubing - one long enough to reach deep into the gas tank and another, shorter length of tubing that will reach just inside the tank. Either obtain two separate lengths of tubing or cut one length of tubing to make two smaller lengths - the effect is the same. Siphoning works because of gravity - once you get gas flowing through the tube, it will naturally continue flowing as long as you keep the tube lower than the level of gas in the tank. Because of this, it's usually convenient to just put your gas can or receptacle on the ground under the tank. Push the the longer length of tubing well into the gas tank (keeping the other end in your empty gas can). The end of this tubing needs to be fully submerged in the gasoline in the tank - since you can't see where the end of the tubing is, you can check by carefully (so as not to inhale fumes) blowing into the tube and listening for the sound of bubbles. Push the shorter length of tube just a few inches into the tank so that both tubes sit side-by-side. This method works by increasing air pressure in the tank to displace the gas through the longer length of tubing and into your receptacle. To create this high air pressure, it's important that no air be allowed to escape the tank. Grab a cheap rag or towel (one you won't mind getting dirty) and pack it around your tubes to create a tight seal. The rag should conform tightly around your tubes but shouldn't compress them and prevent the flow of air and gas. If you're having trouble creating a tight seal, try soaking your rag in water and ringing it out, then packing it around your tubes. Wet rags generally create a tighter seal than dry ones. Ensure that the end of the longer length of tubing sits comfortably in your gas receptacle, then blow air into the shorter tube to increase the air pressure inside the tank. You may blow with your lungs (in which case, take care not to breathe in through the tube and inhale any fumes), but you may find greater success using a mechanical air pump. Forcing air through the short tube increases the pressure of the air above the gas in the tank, causing it to flow through the longer tube and into the gas can. If you're having difficulty, make sure you have a tight seal around your tubes. It's essential to ensure that air can neither enter nor leave the gas tank except through the short length of tubing. As you blow into the gas tank, you should see gas move through the longer length of tubing and into your gas can (assuming you used clear tubing). Once gas is freely flowing from the tank into the can, you don't need to continue blowing - gravity will do the rest of the work. When you want to stop siphoning gas, cover the long tube with your thumb, raise it above the level of gas in the engine, and remove your thumb. Any remaining gas in the tube should flow back into the tank. Congratulations! You're finished. Remove your tubes and close the gas tank. If the gas in the tube won't flow back into the tank when you want to stop siphoning, ensure that the short tube is free of obstruction and, if necessary, remove the seal around the tubes. Air needs to be able to escape the tank to make space for the gas flowing back in.
