TL;DR in English: T-Budding is a method of grafting a scion onto

Choose your cultivar and your rootstock. Cut a scion. Make a T-cut on your rootstock. Introduce the scion. Tie the scion to the rootstock. Remove the tie. Follow up on your bud. Remove other material.

In order for your budding to be successful, you must cut a scion (small piece for grafting) from a healthy, disease-free cultivar (origin tree) as well as a suitable growing tree (rootstock). The rootstock in this case is an established tree that the scion can be spliced into. For T-budding, the bark of both trees must be "slipping." This means the bark is easily peeled off and the green layer underneath is moist, which usually occurs in the spring. Try irrigating them well to help them along. T-Budding is typically used for fruit tree propagation. For T-budding, you must cut into the branch 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) below the bud to 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) beyond the bud. Make the cut as deep as needed to include the soft, green layer beneath the bark but not any deeper. This green material must be exposed on your scion for a successful graft. If you must store your scion bud, wrap it in a damp paper towel, place it in a polyethylene bag, and store it in a refrigerator. Choose a space on a branch or sapling that is 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The space must be free of any buds, ideally far from any buds. Make a vertical slice in the bark about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long and deep enough to expose that green layer. Make a horizontal slice of the same depth that is about one third the distance around the rootstock. Twist the knife in the juncture of the slices to create flaps of the bark, making the green layer visible. Slip the scion containing the bud under the flaps you've just created on the rootstock, taking care not to introduce any dirt or germs. If part of the scion's bark sticks out above the T-cut, slice it off so that everything fits together snugly. Wrap a stretchy rubber material such as grafting rubber around the rootstock to hold the scion in place. Be careful not to jostle or cover the bud. In about a month, the rubber you wrapped around the rootstock may loosen and fall off. If it doesn't, gently remove it yourself so that the area will not be constricted. If the bud looks plump and healthy,...

Don't be afraid to be yourself.
I'm not saying that you should be a total weirdo, but you should be confident in who you are. You should be able to be yourself and not worry about what others think. You should be able to be yourself and not worry about what others think. You should

Be confident. Don't give up. Learn from mistakes. Don't let the love-hunt consume you.

The quest to love is worth it and so are you! Confidence is attractive both physically and mentally, so boost your conviction and love who you are.  Confident people are great salespeople. You confidently market yourself and prove to others why you are worthwhile. Furthermore, by having confidence in your date, your date will most likely like you too. We tend to like those who like us. Don't stop dating just because you haven't found the one yet. More dates means more opportunities for love, it's just statistics. Everything worth having is worth fighting for. You may not fall in love on the first date, but you never know, it could happen on the second, 15th or even 100th date. With a lot of dating can come a lot of mistakes, if not on your part then on your date's part. There's a lesson in every mistake, you just have to find it.  With each failed date or rejection you learn how to play the dating game better.  You'll be more aware of warning signs and red flags. You'll also learn what places you thrive best in. Which kinds of dates you get the most out of (whether it be an activity or simply getting coffee). You'll start noticing a pattern. If you go on a ream of bad dates and relationships, look back and find commonalities. Then the next time you pursue a relationship, you can try something new.   You'll discover more about yourself and what you really want out of life and a relationship. Make the effort to find your perfect match, but don't let that become who you are. This could lead to settling for the wrong person. Others will recognize your joy in independence, individuality is attractive.

Start on the bunny hill Ready yourself at the top.

. A bunny hill is defined as a small slope, possibly with a rope tow. Go up the carpet lift, rope tow or chairlift to the top of the bunny hill.  A carpet lift is a big conveyor belt.  In one arrangement, you push yourself forward onto the leading edge, ride it most of the way with your poles on the belt, ready to brace yourself on them against a sudden stop usually caused by a child's or beginner's error.  Several feet from the end, lift your poles to avoid jamming the end mechanism and lean gently forward to smoothly ski to a halt off the end of it. If it is a rope tow, wait until a handle comes around, grab it, and allow the rope to pull you up. Do not drag yourself or sit on the rope tow. When the rope pulls you to the top, let go and use the herring board to get away from the lift. Watch out for others, especially if the bunny slope is at the foot of another slope from which other skiers may come in fast. Allow yourself to begin sliding down the slope, but go slowly. Keep your skis pointed together. Once you reach the bottom, point the skis toward each other and make a wide angle. This will stop you fairly quickly. If you fall, point the skis so they point across the slope, not down it. Push yourself up, orient yourself, and continue down the slope.

Set a date and time for your event. Find a location. Advertise. Determine donation methods. Take safety precautions. Consider small details.

Early on, you should decide on a date and time for your event. This will be vital information down the line as you book a location and advertise.  Do some research about your audience and event type. If you're hosting a benefit concert with alcohol, it might be a good idea to plan the event on a weekend night. If you're hosting a bake sale and selling foods at a local grocery store, a weekday night might be a better option. Ask the store about their biggest shopping days. Choose a date well in advance. It takes a lot to plan a benefit and you want to make sure you have adequate time to plan. Take advantage of holidays. People often feel more generous around Christmastime. If possible, try to schedule an event around Christmas. Once you've set a date, work on finding a location. Unless you're planning an outdoor event, you'll need to find a venue willing to host your benefit. Since you are hosting an event to benefit a charity, you can consider asking whether the venue would be willing to donate use of the space, or offer a reduced booking rate.  When selecting a location, there are some factors you should consider. How well known is the location with your main audience? Is it easily accessible? Is a politically neutral ground where people of a variety of backgrounds will feel comfortable? Is it big enough for the estimated turn out? Does it have the necessary equipment you'll need for the event type? Once you've determined the type of venue that would best suit your needs, make a list of options. It's a good idea to have 3 or 4 top choices as well as a few locations to fall back on. Start making phone calls. See what venues would be willing to host your event, how much they will charge, and what rules and regulations you'll have to adhere to. See what venue bests suits your needs and is the most economically viable. Consider cost. What is your budget for the event and what can you reasonably afford? Most organizations have a budget set aside for booking events. Keep that amount in mind when booking an event....

Transfer the ball to your throwing hand. Rise and move to adjust your footing. Throw the ball in one fluid motion.

When the ball is secure, immediately transfer it to your throwing hand. If you used your throwing hand to trap the ball, you can simply grasp the ball using the right grip to quickly throw it. If you fielded the ball with your glove stretched to one side or if you caught it backhanded, bring your glove to your throwing hand and grab the ball.  Practice getting a good grip on the ball. Without looking, practice quickly gripping the ball by the seams. Developing this reflex means your throw will more likely be on-target and easy to catch. The ball transfer should be done deliberately and quickly. There's still room for fumbling after you've successfully fielded the ball, so the transfer needs to be practiced just as much. Work on your ball transfer. Practice transferring your ball from your glove to your throwing hand. In the dugout when there's nothing to do, or anytime you have a ball handy, practice. Now it's time to quickly get in position to throw the ball. Rise up and step forward with your throwing foot, then with your non-throwing foot, then again with your throwing foot as you throw the ball. Doing these steps quickly results in a quick sequence that looks like skipping. It allows you to get your body in the right position to make an effective throw. After the flurry of fielding the ball, make sure you stay focused enough to make a good throw. A wild throw will completely negate your good fielding efforts. Throw a solid line drive to the appropriate fielder to make a good play.  You can also practice throwing from a crouched position, for times when you don't have enough time to rise and do a proper through. In other cases you may need to toss or flick the ball to another fielder.

Pick up the phone and hold it to your ear as you normally would. Untangle the cord. Plug the handset back into the phone and replace it onto the cradle. Reposition the phone on your desk for use on your dominant side.

Note which hand you are holding the phone with and the ear you are holding it to. This is probably the dominant side of your body. It may not be the same as your dominant side for handwriting, but for the remainder of this article it will be described as your "dominant side." Hopefully, you are doing this for the last time ever! Unplug the cord from the phone and let the handset rest or your desk or the on the floor. Then firmly take hold of the cord between your first fingers and thumb. Pull the cord along, running your fingers down it as you go and pulling through the tangles along the way.  For example, if your left side is the side you use when answering the phone, put the phone on the left side of your desk. The tangles occur when the handset of the phone is pulled or twisted around into position that are the opposite direction of the twists already in the chord. While this can happen from either side, it is most common when you pick the phone up with one hand, switch to the other, and then hang up with the hand that began farthest from the phone.

Get the right gear. Run with others. Time yourself.

While you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes and shoes if you're just looking for a faster run, top-of-the-line running gear will be useful if you're going competitive (or setting world records).  Get shoes designed just for sprinters. You'll want a lightweight shoe that has sprint spikes. The less you're weighed down the better, and all that time you spend on the balls of your feet will be made easier with sprint spikes. Wear the right clothes. Being comfortable is the key. You want your workout clothes to fit comfortably and keep your body the right temperature. Unless you really like the feel of them, however, you don't need to worry about buying lower-limb compression garments. Research suggests they don't do much to improve performance.  Get some sprinting blocks. If you're really serious about sprinting, pick up a set of the blocks you've seen Olympic sprinters use to take off from. They help your propel yourself off the starting line. The nearest sporting goods store should have them. Whether you're on a track team or just racing with your friends, running with others is almost guaranteed to make you run faster. A little friendly competition is likely to help you get motivated. Whether it's on a row of treadmills or on a track, running with friends can give you a drive to be the best that's harder to find on your own. Seeing people in your periphery (or trying to zoom ahead of you) will keep you very literally on your toes. Sprinting truly is about how fast you're going and how long it takes you to get from point A to point B. To know if you're really getting better, you'll need to time yourself. Odds are you probably want to get going on setting new personal records. However, only try this two or three times a day at most; once you've been at it for a while, you're performance will start to decline. You'll just get more frustrated as you get tired and find yourself unable to match your previous efforts.

Use an exfoliating lip scrub or a toothbrush dipped in petroleum jelly to remove any dead, flaky skin and leave your lips smooth and soft.  Make your own lip scrub by combining a pinch of brown sugar and a little honey, olive oil, or coconut oil.  Gently rub the exfoliant or toothbrush over your lips using small, circular motions. Don't be too rough. Wipe your lips with a washcloth to remove all the petroleum jelly or lip exfoliator. Instead of a lip gloss or chapstick, which can seal the skin on your lips and keep moisture out, look specifically for a lip moisturizer and apply it right after showering.  Look for a lip moisturizer with vitamins A, B, and E which moisturize and help with absorbency.  Use a few drops of vitamin-rich sesame seed oil if you are in a pinch. If you're going to use a real piece of candy and not a flavored lip gloss, the minty flavor of the toothpaste may interfere with the sweetness of the candy and create a bad taste. You definitely want to start with a clean mouth, however, so make sure you brush your teeth 30-60 minutes before you think you're going to kiss your partner, so the mint flavor has time to fade. If you're planning to flavor your lips only, try to brush your teeth right before you meet your partner.

Check to see if your local gym or community center offers a spinning class. Or, go to a cycling center. In these classes all of the participants will have their own bikes and will follow the directions of an instructor at the front of the room. The routines usually last between 30-60 minutes and start off slowly before building momentum.  Most spin sessions include a series of sprints followed by cool down periods. Some spin classes even have a video or music element. During a step aerobics class, you’ll step up, down, and around a 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 cm) raised platform. You’ll use different patterns to strengthen your muscles and ratchet up your heart rate. Many gyms offer step classes that last 30-60 minutes in which an instructor shows you the pattern to follow. Most of these camps are organized according to a military model with a series of interval moves. In a 30-60 minute class you might do jumping, push-ups, squats, or sprints. Most boot camps run between 3-6 weeks with meetings between 1-3 times per week. Personal trainers offer camps as well as gyms and community centers. This is a great option if you have a knee or leg injury and are trying to reintroduce cardio. These classes take place in a pool at a gym or community center. They usually last between 45-60 minutes.

You can move the varying terms on either side of the equation, but you can't move the constant terms.
In the next step, we'll see how to do that in example 2.
The equation 16x−5x=32-10

Look at your problem. Check the equation for varying terms and constant terms. Prepare to move the numbers around so that the varying terms are on one side and the constant terms are on the side such as in 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10} (that equation is solved in example 2). Move the varying terms to one side of the equation. Bring all the constant terms onto the other side of the equation.

A simple linear equation might look like 7x−10=3x−6{\displaystyle 7x-10=3x-6}. Varying terms are numbers like 7x{\displaystyle 7x}, 3x{\displaystyle 3x}, 6y{\displaystyle 6y} or 10z{\displaystyle 10z}, where the number changes depending on what you plug into the variable, or letter. Constant terms are numbers like 10{\displaystyle 10}, 6{\displaystyle 6} or 30{\displaystyle 30}, where the number never changes. Usually, equations won't come with varying terms and constant terms lined up on separate sides. In the example above, the left-hand side (LHS) has both varying and constant terms, as does the right-hand side (RHS). In order to do this, you may have to subtract or add the numbers you want to move from both sides. In the next step, you'll see how to do that in example 1. The equation 16x−5x=32−10{\displaystyle 16x-5x=32-10} does have all the varying terms on one side (LHS), while all the constant terms are on the other side (RHS). It doesn't matter to which side you move the varying terms. In example 1, 7x−10=3x−6{\displaystyle 7x-10=3x-6} can be rearranged by choosing to subtract either 7x{\displaystyle 7x} or 3x{\displaystyle 3x} from both sides. Choosing to subtract 7x{\displaystyle 7x}, you have:(7x−7x)−10=(3x−7x)−6−10=−4x−6{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}(7x-7x)-10&=(3x-7x)-6\\-10&=-4x-6\end{aligned}}} That is: move the constant terms so that they are on the opposite side of the equation from where the varying terms are. We see that −6{\displaystyle -6} must be subtracted from both sides:−10−(−6)=−4x−6−(−6)−4=−4x{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}-10-(-6)&=-4x-6-(-6)\\-4&=-4x\end{aligned}}}

Ask them to clarify any confusing areas. Nobody's worldview is perfectly coherent, but it's hard to debate someone when they're all over the place. Try to gently get them to adhere to one line of arguments that are more or less consistent. If you're not sure about what their argument is, help them out in a non-threatening way: "So, if I understand what you're saying, you mean that the penny should be abolished because it costs more than a penny to produce a penny?" After you've respectfully echoed what they say, introduce your counterargument. Explain the gist of what you believe and how it runs contrary to their argument. Try to think of an idea as solid as theirs is. Don't just say they are wrong: think of a thing you can really argue for that is itself a solid belief.  For example, if they say the government should give tax breaks to hybrid car owners, don't just say, "What I believe is that you're wrong and that's a terrible idea." Instead, counter their idea with another: "I think the government should focus on building citywide transit--it's better for the environment if we dismantle car culture altogether." Offer examples along with your thesis for why you hold a particular belief. After you have stated your counterargument, try to rebut their argument with supporting arguments as well as evidence that supports those arguments.  "Does it really make sense to say that any form of government — municipal, state, or federal — should legislate sexual morality?

Where does it stop if we let them get a foot in the door?" More than likely, the other person you're debating will take issue with some of the things you are saying.

Wash your face well. Apply a concealer and foundation. Apply a light, natural shade of blush. Apply eyeshadow in dark colors. Use a black eyeliner pencil or a black liquid liner. Smudge the black eyeliner on the upper lid. Apply black mascara to upper lashes. Use matte lipstick.

Always apply makeup on fresh, clean skin.  Use a mild soap or cleaner to avoid drying your skin out. Pat your skin dry. You may want to apply a makeup primer at this point to help all of your makeup adhere to your skin. The stick form of concealer is preferable as it applies the most evenly and hides blemishes well.  Use a liquid foundation and blend it well. Make sure your concealer and foundation are the right shade for your skin tone.  The wrong tone can make your skin look washed out, yellow or orange. Use a foundation brush to apply your foundation for the most even application and polished look. Use blush sparingly, as the Emo look focuses on the eyes and less on the colors of the skin and lips.  If you are going for a pale look then try not to use blush as the goal of Emo makeup is to accentuate the eyes. Keep the shade only slightly pinker than your skin tone. Apply in circles to the cheekbones. Avoid putting blush on contours or cheek hollows. Use a smokey eye effect.  Start by applying a matte slade shade of eyeshadow across the eyelid. Add a small touch of black eyeliner towards the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the darker eyeshadow to create a smokey effect. Since Emo make up is typically dark and heavy, make sure to get a lot of black makeup.  For eyeliner, get a black eyeliner pencil. Apply black eyeliner on the lash line. Extend the eyeliner a little bit on both sides of the eye and inner and outer corner to create a 2-way jacketed effect. Thicken the eyeliner. Go over the eyeliner again until you are satisfied with it. Make sure the eyeliner ends meet up at the corners of your eyes.

Watch for muscle loss as your dog ages. Pay attention after trauma and other causes of lameness. Look for arthritis in large breeds. Watch for conditions that certain breeds are predisposed to.

Not every older dog will have muscle loss, but many dogs will. Just like humans, dogs may become less active as they get older, due to a number of reasons, including having less energy and having more aches and pains. Not being as active can lead to muscle loss. To help with muscle loss, try to encourage your dog to be more active. If your dog experiences trauma, such as being hit by a car, it may develop lameness in part of its body. In turn, that can lead to muscle loss, as the dog is not as active or isn't using that particular muscle as much. Dogs can develop lameness from other sources, including infection, dislocation of the shoulder, and muscle or bone degeneration. Large breeds, such as German Shepherds and Labradors, are more likely to have joint problems, meaning they are more likely to develop arthritis. Arthritis can lead to muscle loss, since it can make your dog reluctant to move as much. For instance, Labrador retrievers are prone to type II muscle fiber deficiency, which they'll generally show before a year of age in muscle loss. German Shepherds, on the other hand, are more likely to develop fibrotic myopathy, which generally shows up the most in the dog's thigh muscles. Certain dogs, such as greyhounds, will develop exertional myopathy if they are forced to use their muscles too much.

If you have any attachments on your bike, like a water bottle holder, take the screws off from those too. Put the screws and tiny parts from the bike in labeled plastic baggies so it’s easier to reassemble it later. You might have a hard time taking them off if they’re old and really stuck on there. If they won’t peel off, use a blow dryer or heat gun to warm them up. The adhesive on the labels will loosen when it’s warmed, making it easier to remove the labels from the frame. If you’re having trouble peeling a label off with your fingers, use a putty knife to lift the edges of the label up off the frame. If there’s any glue residue left over from the decals, spray a product like WD-40 on the frame and wipe off the residue with a cloth. If the frame has a thick or glossy paint on it, use a low-grit (rough) sandpaper to remove a lot of the old paint. If the frame has a matte paint on it or it’s completely bare, use a high-grit (fine) sandpaper. Use a cloth with soapy water. There are a few parts of the frame that should be left paint-free:  The posts for the brakes. Any bearing surfaces. Any threads on the bike where something will need to be screwed in when you reassemble it.

Begin by letting them know you smoke, and then telling them why it is important to you. Point out the demonstrably positive effects of marijuana as medicine. Enlighten them about the surprising lack of long-term consequences. Remind them that alcohol and tobacco are far more dangerous and dependent. Point to ways in which marijuana does not impede your life or success. Show them that marijuana is very rarely addictive. Illustrate the marijuana isn't just about smoking joints anymore. Let them ask questions, speak, and get their opinions out.

A good way to approach this is to not let it be a big, terrifying ordeal. Remember that, even if your parents don't agree yet, marijuana is completely legal in some states, has never caused an overdose, and is non-addictive. It doesn't have to be a big deal. So keep the conversation light from the opening lines onward to prevent them from thinking they should be worried:  "I wanted to talk to you guys about something before you find out, and I know that I can trust you to listen." "This isn't a big deal, but I wanted to let you guys know that I smoke marijuana occasionally." "I know you guys trust me to make good decisions, and I just wanted to talk to you a bit about my decision to smoke marijuana. Did you know that the National Cancer Society promotes the fact that marijuana kills cancer cells? Marijuana has been used to successfully treat insomnia, glaucoma, chronic pain, slow Alzheimer's, reduce and control seizures, and increase creativity. Like most plants in the world, marijuana has surprising medical benefits we are only now discovering. Because marijuana research is relatively new, new studies are coming out all of the time. Google "marijuana studies" every now and then to get more concrete evidence for your discussion if needed. Marijuana has been maligned for years not because it is dangerous, but because it is misunderstood. However, new studies are showing that marijuana has very few negative side-effects, and no long-term health issues arise from chronic usage other than a slight disposition towards gum disease. Be ready with these facts, and the articles to back them up to head off any worries of "health effects." There are almost no known cases of marijuana attributed deaths in the world and has no known effect on mortality rates. If you take marijuana purely for recreational enjoyment, then it may seem more difficult to convince your parents that weed is okay. But, when compared to other "acceptable" leisure-time substances, like alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is far safer. It is also...

Be honest. Take the opposing side of an argument at first. Flatter the person in moderation. Compliment the person in conversations with other people. Ask the person about his or her achievements. Include someone in a group outing.

Although honesty applies to a lot more than merely sucking up, sincerity will increase the chances of your success. The most important factor in whether or not a compliment is received well is the sincerity with which it's given. If you're trying to lie through your teeth as a way to get into someone's good books, chances are high the deceit will be noticed. Be only as bold with a compliment as you mean it. Moderate compliments often feel more impactful because they're more grounded in the real world. Instead of saying "You're the best looking person on the planet", for example, you could say "I think you take really good care of your appearance." If you want the other person to respect your opinions, it helps to take the opposing view occasionally. If the two of you debate something, you can eventually shift your view to align with the other person's. This will give the impression that he or she has succeeded as a persuader, and he or she will associate positive feelings with you.  This works in work and family situations alike. The payoff of this technique will flatter the person's persuasive skills, while simultaneously proving you're not afraid to stand by something. A transition from your original stance to the other person's should feel natural. When you change your mind, you can say something like this: "You know, you make a really good argument about this. I never thought about it that way before, and now I see why you held that view all along." Compliments are helpful, but they'll quickly grow tiresome if you're throwing them at the person in question. Even if someone may feel flattered that you care so much about his opinion, it's much better to emphasize the quality over quantity in your flattery. That way, he or she won't be desensitized to your positive opinions of him. Don't say compliments without planning them out first. If you're consciously trying to suck up to someone, this might manifest itself as a needless quantity of compliment. You can usually count on people to spread information....

Decide upon the solution together, if possible. Listen closely Take a break if one or both parties are too stressed to handle the conversation.

When you do something together, you want it to be because you both voluntarily consent to it, as a way of fulfilling your own genuine needs and desires, not out of guilt or pressure. Sometimes you can find an action that meets both your needs, and sometimes you just have to amiably go your separate ways.  If you're not ready to ask in this spirit, maybe you need more time, or more empathy. Or perhaps your instincts are telling you that this person does not care about your feelings. Reflect on what is stopping you. to what the other person says. Don't assume that you know how they feel or what is best for them. Instead, let them express their thoughts and feelings. Validate their feelings, slow down to ensure they feel heard, and make it clear that you care.  If you spend too much time labeling their needs, they might feel like you are trying to play therapist instead of actually hearing what they have to say. Put the focus on what they are telling you, not on what you have decided they "actually" mean. If you're getting too upset to speak thoughtfully and clearly, the other person is unwilling to talk openly, or either one of you wants to end the conversation, stop. You can have it at a better time, when both parties are willing and able.  If conversations consistently end badly with someone, take a close look at the situation, because there may be a deeper problem.

Get your cleaning equipment together. Use an outdoor cleaning wand attached to your garden hose. Put on your safety equipment. Mix your cleaning solution.

You will need a five-gallon bucket, a garden hose, a good brush, a wash cloth, a couple tarps, some tape, possibly a ladder and other tools. You will certainly need a bucket to hold the cleaning solution, a hose to rinse off the siding, and a good brush for scrubbing. Make sure you have everything you need before cleaning.  Attach a long handled brush to a pole to get at the high areas. You can use duck-tape to attach the brush to the pole. Use a wire brush to clean tough mildew and stains on fiber cement siding.  Exercise caution when cleaning wood siding. In particular, you should avoid using too much water pressure since it can get into the joints and you could trigger wood rot. Since you are not using a power washer this should not be a problem, but you want to exercise caution even if using a garden hose or a hose attachment. Outdoor cleaning wands have a brush attached to a long pole that connects to your garden hose. They are a great alternative to a power washer and offer more cleaning precision.  Make sure you have a long garden hose. If you are using a cleaning wand attached to your garden hose, make sure you have a garden hose that will allow you to reach around the entire exterior of your house. If you have a two or more story house, you will also likely need a ladder to get at the high parts of your siding. Remember to follow the safety guidelines on the ladder and have someone spot you while you are on it. You should wear some protective eyewear and some gloves while cleaning your siding to protect your eyes from debris and keep your hands clean. If you anticipate dealing with mold, you should also wear a mask. Find an appropriate respirator mask that has filters to block the mold from entering your lungs. Also, you may want to wear a disposable hair cover to prevent the mold from getting on your hair and skin. If conditions are very bad, you may even need a full body suit designed for mold protection. Using your garden hose, add water to your five-gallon (18.9 L) bucket and then add appropriate...

Gather your supplies. Wash your hands. Make your needle. Heat your needle. Draw your design. Ink your needle. Apply the ink to your skin. Take care of your tattoo. Touch up the design of your tattoo.

To apply your homemade ink at home, you'll need a few supplies: a few very fine sewing needles, a #2 pencil, a ballpoint pen, some sewing thread, matches, and alcohol swabs. You'll also need your ink! Before you begin to give yourself a tattoo with your homemade ink, make sure you thoroughly wash your hands. This means washing your hands well, with soap, for at least two minutes. For some extra cleansing, you can also wipe your hands with an alcohol wipe after you've washed them. You'll want to prepare your needle for applying your homemade ink by attaching it to a longer handle. This gives you more control over the movement of the needle and makes tattooing easier. Insert the eye end of your thin needle into the eraser of the #2 pencil. Then wrap the needle and pencil with thread until the needle stays firmly in place. You might want to wrap the thread with some tape to give it extra support and make sure it doesn't move. Once you've got your needle put together, you'll need to heat the tip up. Light a match and hold the needle over it for ten to fifteen seconds. Make sure you turn the needle so it heats evenly. Heating the tip of the needle kills any germs on the needle. This can prevent infection when the needle goes under your skin to apply the ink. Use an alcohol swab to clean the area of your skin where you want to apply your tattoo. Then, using the ballpoint pen, draw on your design.  If you've never done your own tattoo before, you might want to start with a small design. You should practice your design on paper before you draw on your skin. Once you're satisfied with your design placement and style, it's time to ink your needle. Simply dip your needle into your homemade ink. Gently tap the needle on the side of the jar or its lid to remove any excess ink. You don't want the needle to be dripping with ink. Once you've got ink on your needle, poke the needle into your skin at any point in your design. To make sure the ink actually stays in your skin, you'll need to poke through the first two layers of...

The dropper loop is a simple knot that can be used to tie a variety of lures. It’s a great knot to use when you’re tying a variety of lures, and it’s also a great knot to use when you’re tying a variety of lures.

Hold two points on the line about 12 inches (30 cm) apart. Bring the points together to form a loop. Pass the bottom of the loop over the top. Wrap the loop around itself 5 more times. Pass the loose line through the gap at the top of the loop.

Use your thumb and index finger to pinch these two points on the line. Choose the knot’s location based on where you would like to add additional lures on your fly line. Although the “loop” of the dropper loop will only end up being 2–3 inches (5–7.5 cm) long, you need much more line than that to tie the entire knot. At this point, it doesn’t matter if the side of the line in your right or left hand is placed on top. Once you’ve brought the two points together to form a loop, pinch the points firmly together using one of your hands. Make sure that the portion of the line which comprises the loop is not twisted. If you’re tying the knot on a flat surface, the loop should lie flat. To begin wrapping the dropper loop around itself, use your free hand to grasp the bottom of the large loop. Pass this over the top of the loop. At some point, you’ll need to release the fingers pinching the top of the loop together while you pass the bottom of the loop over the top. Be sure not to lose track of which part of the knot you were pinching, though, and to grasp it again once you’ve wrapped the loop around itself. Once you’ve wrapped the bottom of the loop over the top, repeat this step until there are 6 loops total. If you’re using a heavy, thick monofilament fishing line—e.g. 100 lb or thicker—you can stop at 3 loops. Separate the initial two points on the line that you’ve been pinching together. This will open up a gap between the two wrapped sides of the line. Once you’ve completed the 6th wrap and the bottom of the loop is beneath the wrapped portion of the line, use your free hand to pass the loose line up through the hole at the top of the loop. Continue passing loose line through the gap until you have a sizeable loop and no loose, dangling line.

List achievements and extracurriculars. Answer all application questions carefully. Get letters of recommendation. Obtain your transcripts and test scores.

In most college applications, there will be a space to list you're achievements and any notable extracurricular activities. Take your time with this space. Make sure you include any relevant information that will reflect well on you as a potential student.  Sports, clubs, the arts, formal organizations, and volunteer work are all good extracurriculars to include. Try to list anything you've done in your academic career. You do not have to limit your list to school-based extracurriculars. If you took piano lessons for 8 years from a private tutor, this is worth mentioning.  Part time or summer jobs can also help, especially if they were more professional in nature. An internship is definitely worth mentioning on a college application.  Achievements are also important. List any semesters you made the honor roll. If you've won or placed in any contests, write that down here. If you set any records on a sports team, mention it. Some college applications have a series of questions you have to answer. For example, you may be asked to provide an explanation of some of your achievements. You may be asked about academic goals or scholarly interests. Spend some time answering these questions to the best of your abilities.  Go for action verbs and detailed descriptions. For example, if an applications wants you to explain an achievement, don't just write, "I worked at a law firm for a summer." Instead, say something like, "I spent my summer vacation learning about the inside workings of the legal profession, assisting lawyers with research and organizing paperwork."  Use your words wisely if necessary. Some applications may limit you to a set number of words per answer. You should type your questions in a separate document before adding them to the application. Then, you can tweak and trim down your sentences as needed to keep it under the word limit.  Always proofread questions extensively. Typos and spelling and grammar errors will not reflect highly on you in a college application. Most college applications require...

Once you figure out what immigrant category you belong to, you'll need to have your family or employer file an immigrant petition for you. In rare cases, you'll file one yourself.  If you're obtaining a green card through your family, your relative must file Form I-130, the Petition for Alien Relative. If you're obtaining a green card through your employer, your employer must file Form I-140, Petition for an Alien Worker. If you're an entrepreneur investing money, you need to file Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur. If you're in a special category such as a widow or widower, file Form I-360.  If you're a refugee or asylee, you most likely don't need an underlying petition if you meet the requirements to adjust status. Once your relative, employer or you yourself file your initial petition, you need to check to see whether a visa is available before filing the remaining application forms. The number of visas available differs according to your immigrant category and the country from which you are emigrating.  There are an unlimited number of visas available for people applying for a green card through immediate relatives.  There is a limited number of visas available to those applying for green cards through family that is not immediate and for employment purposes. You will receive a priority date and be put on a waiting list until a visa becomes available.  You'll receive a "Visa Bulletin" that will allow you to check your place in the visa queue. You have to wait for a visa to become available before this form can be filed. Read the instructions on the form and make sure to submit all of the required documents and information. Be sure to send your forms to the correct address.  If you're applying for a green card through an immediate family member, you can file form I-485 at the same time your relatives files your petition, since there are unlimited visas available in your category. There is a filing fee of $1070.

Understand what a singly even square is. Calculate the magic constant. Divide the magic square into four quadrants of equal size. Assign each quadrant a number range. Solve each quadrant using the methodology for odd-numbered magic squares. Create Highlights A and D. Swap Highlights A and D. Do an additional swap for singly even magic squares larger than 6x6.

Everyone knows that an even number is divisible by 2, but in magic squares, there are different methodologies for solving singly and doubly even squares.  A singly even square has a number of boxes per side that is divisible by 2, but not 4.  The smallest possible singly even magic square is 6x6, since 2x2 magic squares can’t be made. Use the same method as you would with odd magic squares: the magic constant = [n * (n^2 + 1)] / 2, where n = the number of boxes per side. So, in the example of a 6x6 square:  sum = [6 * (62 + 1)] / 2 sum = [6 * (36 + 1)] / 2 sum = (6 * 37) / 2 sum = 222 / 2 The magic constant for a 6x6 square is 222/2, or 111. All rows, columns, and diagonals must add up to this number. Label them A (top left), C (top right), D (bottom left) and B (bottom right). To figure out how large each square should be, simply divide the number of boxes in each row or column by half. So, for a 6x6 square, each quadrant would be 3x3 boxes. Quadrant A gets for the quarter of numbers; Quadrant B the second quarter; Quadrant C the third quarter, and Quadrant D the final quarter of the total number range for the 6x6 magic square. In the example of a 6x6 square, Quadrant A would be solved with the numbers from 1-9; Quadrant B with 10-18; Quadrant C with 19-27; and Quadrant D with 28-36. Quadrant A will be simple to fill out, as it starts with the number 1, as magic squares usually do. Quadrants B-D, however, will start with strange numbers — 10, 19, and 28, respectively, in our example.  Treat the first number of each quadrant as though it is the number one. Place it in the center box on the top row of each quadrant. Treat each quadrant like its own magic square. Even if a box is available in an adjacent quadrant, ignore it and jump to the “exception” rule that fits your situation. If you tried to add up your columns, rows, and diagonals right now, you’d notice that they don’t yet add up to your magic constant. You have to swap some boxes between the top left and bottom left quadrants to finish your magic...

Choose a pattern in the style, length, and size you want. Select a durable fabric for the outside of the cloak. Use a smooth fabric for the inside of the cloak. Choose matching or contrasting colors for your cloak. Pick out a clasp or other closure piece for the front clasp.

Having a pattern as your guide for making a cloak will take a lot of the guesswork, measuring, and math out of the process. You can simply follow the pattern’s instructions for how much fabric to buy and use the pattern pieces to cut and sew the fabric.  Look for a beginner level pattern if this is the first time you are making a cloak. You can find a pattern in a craft supply store, or you can find free patterns online.  The pattern package should have a list of the items you will need to make the cloak. Use this as your guide when purchasing your fabric and notions, such as the clasp and thread. Cotton and broadcloth work well for the exterior of a cloak if you want it to be lightweight. If you want something heavier, then you can use wool or linen. If you plan to wear the cloak outdoors, then make sure the fabric you choose will hold up against the elements, such as a waterproof nylon or vinyl fabric. Make sure that the fabric you choose moves easily. Hold a piece in your hand and try to wave it around. If it is stiff, then it probably won’t work well for a cloak. Good choices for the inside of a cloak are satin and silk, but you can use any smooth fabric you like. A smooth fabric will make it easier to get the cloak on and off over your clothes. However, if you do not care about making the inside of your cloak smooth, then you can use any type of fabric you want. Silk and satin can be expensive. To save money, you can use cotton or broadcloth for the interior. They won’t be as smooth, but they are much cheaper. The exterior fabric of the cloak will always be visible, but the interior will only be visible when you flourish the cloak, open it up, or take it off. Still, having a little pop of color on the inside of the cloak is a nice touch, or you can go with an interior fabric that will match the exterior for a more subtle look.  For example, go with a black fabric for the exterior, and a black fabric on the interior for something subtle. Or, use black fabric for the outside of the cloak, and red, green,...

The TENS unit is a small device that delivers electrical impulses to the body. It is used to relieve pain.
The TENS unit is a small device that delivers electrical impulses to the body.

Try starting with the lowest settings. Place the electrodes at least an inch apart. Adjust the amount of electricity slowly, gradually and carefully. Remember the setting that works for you. Make sure the pads have sufficient gel or water on them.

Then increase them to an effective setting. See a physiotherapist to get help adjusting the settings. This will reduce the likelihood of your using a setting that is too high or too low. Ask about common massage points useful for relaxation on your body. The physiotherapist will have experience and will be able to advise you as to what is best for your condition and what to avoid.  To relieve your personal pains find the pain points with finger tips and apply electrode pads around there. The better settings are different for each person, depending upon how sensitive you are and what your condition is. The body gets resistant to a unit that has only one pattern of electro "tapping". Some have a random pattern. This will prevent you from having too much electricity delivered to too small an area.Turn the TENS device off while you are adjusting the electrodes. You can arrange the electrodes in several ways, depending on what works best for you:  Around the area that hurts or over acupuncture points that the physiotherapist can show you on a chart. If the electrodes are colored red and black, you want to position the black electrodes farther from your trunk or torso, such as on your arms or legs, and the red electrodes should be closer to your torso. This will help prevent unpleasant impulses from going to your central nervous system. It will also stimulate muscle contractions.  You can arrange the electrodes in lines, in X formations, or in squares, but they must be at one inch or farther apart. To make an X, place one pair of matched negative and positive electrodes for one diagonal and another pair for the crossing angle. Start with the machine off, then turn it on when the dial is at its lowest setting.  Slowly raise the electrical current until you feel a pleasant tingling feeling. If it hurts, then  the current is too high. More is not necessarily better. Turning it up too high will not increase the amount of pain relief.

If you are close to the guy, then you’ll already know what sports or hobbies he participates in. Determine what he likes the most, or something that he may not have all the equipment for and then think of gift ideas around it. It’s okay if your gift isn’t overly sentimental or meaningful. Some men prefer practical gifts.  If he plays a sport, new equipment, a signed piece of memorabilia, or tickets to a game are perfect gifts. If you're younger, you could give him baseball cards or a new football. If he’s into art or music, then art supplies or music equipment make for great gifts. You can even buy him a song on iTunes, or make a playlist if you are on a budget. If he’s more of the gamer type, maybe getting him a new game or a new piece of hardware for his system or computer would be greatly appreciated. Artists always need art supplies, so if he’s the artistic type, new brushes or paint would be great gifts.

If you regularly talk to the guy that you’re getting a gift for, you can ask him in casual conversation for things that he wants. Some guys are more open and these guys will likely make their opinion known on things that they don’t have. However, in some friendships, candor can be limited, so make sure the conversation is organic so you don’t send mixed signals, or tip him off to your intentions.  You can bring up something you plan on getting him and get his opinion on it without giving away the fact you plan on gifting it to him Make a mental note of anything that he said he wishes he had in other conversations. A good place to find good ideas for gifts are blogs, forums, and magazines. On blogs and forums, you’ll find people who are into the same interests as the guy you plan on getting the gift for. This will give you a heads up about the hottest new product or upcoming event.  You don’t need to create an account or post anything on the forums. Concentrate on reading up on...

For best results, use "strike anywhere" matches for these tricks. Try striking on a rock. Try striking on rough building materials. Sandpaper. Try cautiously striking on your zipper. Try striking on a window. For an extreme challenge, try striking on your teeth.

You don't have to use the included striker to light most matches — as long as you build up enough friction to heat up the match head, you can strike many matches almost anywhere that's dry. However, this is usually easiest if you use strike anywhere matches. As their name suggests, these matches are designed to light well on various surfaces.  Strike anywhere matches are usually wood matches identified as such on the packaging. They are not especially expensive: a 250-match box may cost as little as $2.  Strike anywhere matches only work on dry surfaces. This trick is a must for campers, hikers, and anyone else who might want to improve their wilderness survival skills. For best results, you'll want to find a flat dry rock with a slightly "rough" or abrasive surface. The texture should be similar to sidewalk concrete. As noted above, the rock also must be dry. If you can't find a dry rock, find a suitable wet rock, wipe it on your clothing, and carry it in your pocket for a few hours or set it somewhere dry. Hold the match between your middle finger and thumb and use your index finger to press the head into the rock. This is the same technique you'd use to light a paper match without folding the cover over. The rougher the rock's surface is, the lighter you'll want to press to hit the friction "sweet spot" for lighting a flame. If you're still in civilization but stuck without access to a match striker, you can usually use the materials around you in a pinch. Simply strike the match the same way you would if you were using a normal striker or a stone, using less pressure for rougher materials. For this to work, however, the material you use must be completely dry. Just a few possibilities for materials to use include:  Concrete Grout (between tiles, etc.) Brick Ceramic Keep in mind that striking matches can leave small marks on whatever material you're using, so you may not want to do it on other people's possessions. This trick is handy when you're caught without a matchbook in the garage or workshop. Very...

If you’re ready to get a cat, you’ll need to convince your parents

Pick an appropriate time to talk. Start by expressing appreciation for all your parents do for you. Present your research to your parents. Offer to pay for as much as you can. Make a deal to get better grades or do more chores. Remain calm during the conversation. Give your parents a few days to think before answering. Be respectful if your parents say no.

Make sure your parents have time to talk. If they’re frazzled and running late to work, hold off until things are calmer. Catch your parents when they’re in a good mood, because they’ll be more likely to listen to what you have to say. Don’t act like you deserve a cat. It’ll just make your parents shut down. Instead, approach the situation with an attitude of gratitude. Your parents will be more open to your argument. You might tell your parents, “I want to start by saying that I’m super thankful to have parents who support me and work hard to give me some amazing things.” If you made a presentation, now’s the time to whip it out. Otherwise, go through the key points you planned out earlier. Remember to talk about your plan for care, why you want a cat, and how you plan to address their concerns. You may not be able to pay for everything, but offering to contribute to the cost of a cat shows you’re serious about getting one.  Imagine you only have $50, but a cat costs $100. You could say, “Mom, I really want a cat, but the ones at the shelter cost about $100. If I pay for $50, could you cover the other half?” Or, you could offer to pay for the initial cost of the cat and ask your parents to help you out with the annual expenses. Maybe if you get straight A’s next quarter, your parents will let you get a cat. Or, offer to do extra chores from now on. Whatever you and your parents agree to, stick with it. It’ll show you’re ready for the responsibility of being a cat owner. You could say, “If I get an A in math next quarter, which will take a lot of work because it’s one of my hardest subjects, will you let me get a cat? I want to show you how committed I am.” If you lose your temper, your chances of convincing your parents will be slim. Try to stay calm and avoid getting defensive, even if your parents give you a firm no. If you feel yourself getting riled up, take a few deep, slow breaths. If you can’t calm down, ask your parents if you can finish the conversation later. If you pressure your parents for a...

Know when a would doctor will induce labor. Expect the doctor's first action to be to strip the membrane from the amniotic sac. Expect the doctor to potentially break your water manually. Prepare to be prescribed prostaglandin, a natural hormone. Expect to be prescribed oxytocin through an IV at the hospital.

If you are committed to a home birth, you should still have a doctor or midwife present. Most doctors will not rush to induce labor unless there are extenuating circumstances, including when:  Your water breaks, but there are no contractions. You are two weeks past your due date. You have a uterine infection You have gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or not enough amniotic fluid. There is a problem with the placenta or baby's positioning/growth. With gloved fingers, the doctor will reach into the cervix and rub the membrane of the amniotic sac until it separates from the uterine wall. Naturally-released hormones then usually kick-start labor. Known medically as an "amniotomy," the doctor uses a thin hook to break the amniotic sac. This almost always brings on labor within a few hours. While it is short, this may be painful and uncomfortable. It may be applied directly to the vagina or taken orally. This usually happens in a hospital, and it thins out the cervix to prepare it for labor. This often leads to strong cramping and some pain. This is generally for slowed or stalling labor. In emergencies, like those outlined above, it can also help induce labor. Labor induced with oxytocin often leads to more frequent contractions.

Examine the zipper to see if it’s strong enough for stretching. Insert a calf stretcher into the boot. Spray the boot with stretching spray if you want extra stretch. Twist the handle or wheel to widen the boot stretcher. Leave the stretcher in for at least 2 hours or overnight.

If your zipper is shoddily constructed, or if it’s not sewn in well, you may damage it by using too much pressure with the boot stretcher. Make sure you are using a stretcher designed for the calf of a boot and not one for the toes or instep. A calf stretcher will look tall and thin. You don’t have to use a stretching spray, but it will help soften the fabric and you will achieve better results. Depending on the style of boot stretcher, you may have a lever or there may be a small wheel in the center. Use these to adjust the stretcher until it fits snugly in the calf of the boot. For best results, you want to leave the stretcher in for as long as possible. If you sprayed your boots with stretching spray, you’ll want to leave the stretcher in until the spray dries.

Be subtle. Get her to respond. Be direct.

Don't be sneaky or manipulative, just casually drop hints here or there.  Your mom may notice, or she may just start to get an idea of what age you and your peers are reaching.  A subtle hint might be something like, “My friend [insert name] has started shaving her legs.” Don't feel too awkward.  It shouldn't be a big deal. Casually mention what is going on with yourself or other girls at your school. Your mom may be picking up on your hints, but choosing not to respond.  Getting her to respond is the best way to start a conversation.  Use questions that require an answer.  For example, “Some of my friends have started shaving their legs.  When did you start shaving your legs, mom?”   Asking direct questions like, “When do you think it is a good age to start shaving your legs?” will give you a sense of what your mother thinks. Just make sure to ease into it. If you think that your mother will say yes, and if she hasn't acted strangely to your other hints, try hinting more directly.  The most direct way is to ask for razors when you are at the store. You can say, “I think that it's time for me to start shaving my legs. I have the most hair on my legs out of any of the girls in my grade/class.”

Wind turbines are a great way to generate electricity, but they are not a good choice for everyone.
Wind

Check the zoning restrictions in your area for the maximum structure height. Opt for a turbine if the average wind speed is 14 mph (23 km/h) or more. Calculate the minimum diameter for the turbine blades to power your home. Place the turbine on a tower that’s 30 feet (9.1 m) taller than other structures. Hire an electrician to connect the turbine to your home’s power system.

Since wind systems are tall, you may not be able to install the system in a residential area depending on your zoning requirements. Check with local building inspectors or your city’s homeowner’s association to see if you’re eligible for building a turbine. If zoning isn’t an issue, then you can build a turbine on your property. Many zoning ordinances have a height limit of about 35 feet (11 m), and many wind systems need to be 30 feet (9.1 m) higher than the tallest structure within 500 feet (150 m). Look online for wind speed maps or airport wind speed data to see what the average wind speed is in your area. If the average wind speeds are around 14 miles per hour (23 km/h), then a turbine might be an efficient way to generate electricity to power your home. If the wind speed is slower, then you may not get the turbine’s full effectiveness.  Wind speeds increase the higher above ground you are. Many airports measure their wind speed from about 30 feet (9.1 m) above ground, which is similar to the height of a residential turbine. Hire a professional who installs wind turbines to check the efficiency and wind speed of your property for you if you have trouble determining it yourself. Check with your electric company to find out how many kilowatt-hours your home used in the past year. Use the formula AEO = (0.01328)D2V3, where AEO is your annual energy output in kilowatt-hours per year, D is the diameter of the rotor in feet, and V is the annual average wind speed in miles per hour. Solve the formula for D and buy a turbine system with the correct size rotors.  For example, if you use 11,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year and the average annual wind speed is 20 miles per hour, your formula would be 11,000 = (0.01328)D2(15)3. If you solve for D, the diameter you need for your system is about 10 feet (3.0 m). Once you know what size turbine you need, purchase one from a reputable supplier. This company may also be able to supply you with other crucial parts (like the tower) and/or complete the...

Use a professional-quality product, if possible.
The first step is to find a professional who is experienced in bleaching hair. You can ask your stylist, or look online for a list of salons in your area.
The second step is to find a professional who is experienced in bleaching hair.

Choose your method wisely. Be prepared for the time and expense. Build your hair’s health before you go gray. Purchase a 10 to 20-volume cream developer. Buy a hair toner to help eliminate brassiness after bleaching. Buy a gray hair dye and the other necessary tools for home use.

Consider whether to use an at-home dye kit or professional dyes, or go to the salon. Carefully consider the costs, processes, and risks involved in each method.  For the salon method, costs and products will vary. Check out websites of local salons or call them for pricing. If possible, talk to a stylist in person. Use the box kit method with caution. Read online reviews to help you choose a box kit that works best on black hair. A popular box kit is L’Oréal Paris Preference Les Blondissimes LB01: Extra Light Ash Blonde. It won’t dye your hair platinum, but may get you down to an ashy blonde in one go.  Use professional-quality products, if possible. Some professional companies require a cosmetology license in order to make a purchase, so keep that in mind. Regardless of which method you choose, it will likely take multiple bleachings to achieve the gray tone that you want. Take the time and expense (i.e. multiple salon visits, multiple purchases of dye kits or professional products) into consideration before you decide. In the weeks or months leading up to the bleaching, avoid using harsh hair products and heat styling tools on your hair. If your hair feels damaged, do weekly deep-conditioning masks until it feels healthy enough to be bleached.  Use good-quality shampoos and conditioners to moisturize your hair without adding buildup or stripping your hair of its natural oils. Look for low pH, oils (argan, avocado, olive), glycerin, glyceryl stearate, propylene glycol, sodium lactate, sodium PCA, and alcohols that start with “c” or “s.”  Avoid strongly fragranced products, alcohols that begin with “prop,” sulfates, and any products that claim to add volume. Cream developer reacts with the powder to bleach your hair. It comes in different volumes ranging from 10 (weakest) to 40 (strongest). The higher the volume, the quicker it will turn your hair blonde, but also the more damaging it will be. Most stylists recommend using 10-volume or 20-volume. A 20-volume developer is your safest bet for effectiveness and...

Understand the purpose of savings bonds. Compare different series of savings bonds. Know where to purchase savings bonds. Compare savings bonds to other investments.

Savings bonds are designed for two purposes: to give Americans an easy, cheap, and reliable way to build wealth and to service the government's financing needs. They can be purchased in denominations as low as $25 and can be held for up to 30 years. Upon maturity, they provide a reliable payout of their face value. Savings bonds are considered to be one of the safest investments.  Earnings from savings bonds are not subject to state and local taxes.  Bonds purchased after 1989 may qualify for an education tax exclusion. In this case, earnings on qualifying bonds used for your child's education are tax-free. However, this is subject to restrictions and qualification. See the Treasury Direct website for details. The two types, or series, of savings bonds are mostly similar, but differ in a few key ways. EE Bonds are no longer sold as paper bonds and earn interest at a fixed rate (since 2005). I Bonds are only available for purchase as paper bonds with your IRS tax refund. Otherwise they must be purchased electronically on the Treasury Direct website. They earn a "composite" interest rate that fluctuates with inflation. Both bonds:  Are purchased at face value. A $100 bond costs $100. Are available in non-standard denominations to the penny. For example, you can buy a $28.73 savings bond. Limit buyers to $10,000 in savings bond purchases each year. Can be redeemed after a year. Carry a penalty if redeemed in under five years — three months of interest will be withheld. Earn interest monthly. Electronic savings bonds are only available through Treasurydirect.gov. They can be purchased by inputting your bank account information and personal information in the appropriate fields. You can buy one bond, several bonds at once, or schedule future purchases. This method requires no paperwork. Paper I Bonds can be purchased using your tax refund. Investments typically display a positive relationship between returns and risk. That is, low-risk investments have low returns and high-risk investments have higher returns....

Wear waist-cinching belts. Wear A-line dresses. Avoid low-rise jeans. Try wearing a body-shaping undergarments.

Draw attention to your waist by wearing belts that emphasize and nip in your middle. They can be wide, skinny, jeweled, braided -- whatever! Wear them over dresses, long tops and even winter coats to get an hourglass figure which gives the illusion of a smaller waist. A-line dresses are those which are tight at the hips, then flare out towards the hem, giving the illusion of a smaller waist. They are very flattering on almost every body shape, as they emphasize the waist, while skimming over any imperfections around the hips and thighs. Low-rise jeans can be very unflattering to anyone who carries even a little weight around their middle, as they create the dreaded "muffin top" effect. High waisted jeans are much more forgiving as they cover up any excess fat around the hips, and draw attention to the waist. Worn with a tucked-in shirt, these type of jeans can be very flattering indeed. Picking the right foundation garments can greatly reduce your waistline.  Try "shapewear". Most quality lingerie stores carry lines of undergarments that are designed to smooth and support your figure. Corsets. Worn under gowns as a figure enhancing item of lingerie in centuries gone by, the corset has gained renewed popularity recently for providing an effortlessly sexy silhouette, whether under other clothes or on its own. Steel-boned corsets (not as painful as they sound - promise!) do the best job of cinching in your waist, and can actually permanently reduce the size of your waist with prolonged wear!

Walk away. Withdraw. Keep a wide perspective. Be funny.

When you walk away from a bully, you show that that person doesn’t have control over your actions or emotions. Engaging the person means you are meeting him or her on  the same level. You don’t need to engage this person, and there’s no use putting any of your energy into the situation. Remember that you choose your response. Is it worth engaging with this person? It may be better to just walk away and not even bother. If someone is harassing you or egging you on,  calmly tell this person that you are not interested in engaging with him or her. Remember the person can only bully you if you give him or her power over your emotions. Once you no longer seem to care what this person thinks, he or she may become bored or disinterested.  If the person persists, ignore the person. Say, “I don’t want to talk to you” or “This doesn’t interest me.” Remember that you have control over how (or if) you react. If it isn’t worth your time, say so. Ask yourself, “Will I remember this situation in 1 year? What about 5 years? Will this affect my life then?” If not, determine to spend your energy and time elsewhere. Also ask yourself if these are people that will continue to be in your life for a long time. If you have plans to go to college or move, it’s likely these people will be gone from your life soon enough. If someone is being mean to you, respond with a joke or with some humor. Humor completely disarms someone trying to hurt you, and he or she may be too surprised to know how to respond. When you use humor, it shows that this person has no control over you.  If a mean person targets you and you respond with a joke, it’s likely he or she will lose interest in trying to hurt you. If someone is making fun of your shoe size, say, “You’re probably right. I tried out for the Lord of the Rings but I guess my feet weren’t hairy enough.”

Blow dirt or dust off the window. Use clear water to clean lightly soiled acrylic. Use a non-abrasive cleaner on dirtier windows. Blot the surface dry. Remove scratches using car wax. Scrape the surface. Sand the surface.

Because acrylic is easily scratched, you don’t want to just wipe away any dirt or dust that is on the surface of the window. Instead, use air or water to remove dirt before you begin to clean. You can use canned air to blow dirt off of the windows, or drip water onto the surface that picks up the dirt and allows you to float it off. If you use water, blot the window dry with a microfiber cloth after the dirt has come up. If your acrylic window still needs a bit of cleaning after you've removed the top layer of dust and dirt, use clear water to clean it. Simply repeat the process of dropping water onto the surface of the acrylic and blot it dry with a microfiber cloth. Don’t rub the window with the microfiber cloth as this can cause scratches in the acrylic. If you’re washing particularly dirty or outside-facing windows, mix equal parts non-abrasive cleaner and water to make a cleaning solution. Then dip a microfiber cloth in the solution and gently blot the acrylic surface clean. Good non-abrasive cleaners for this type of cleaning are castile soap, baby shampoo, or Woolite or Dreft. Once you’re done cleaning the acrylic window, use a dry microfiber cloth to blot the surface of the window dry. Avoid wiping the cloth across the surface of the window as this can cause scratches. If, once you’ve cleaned the window, you discover scratches in the surface, you can use car wax to remove them. Apply wax to the areas that are scratched and use the buffer that comes with the wax to buff the surface. If you’ve never buffed a surface before, proceed for gently with this step. If you have very deep scratches in the acrylic, you scrape the surface of the acrylic. Hold a sharp scarping tool at a 10 degree angle and move it from side to side, evenly and gently scraping off the excess. This technique should only be used for very, very deep scratches. Sanding the surface of acrylic gives it a matte finish, which gives it a frosted look. You can perform this technique with sand paper by hand, or with sanding tools. Simply sand...
