Article: Jumping from a moving car is very dangerous, so if you must do it, you need to protect yourself. Grab any soft materials you can find in the car—e.g., clothing, newspaper, a stuffed animal—and stuff it into your clothes. Any little bit of padding can go a long way toward helping to break your fall. Before you leap from a moving car, you need to make sure you can survive the fall. 30-35 miles per hour should be about the maximum speed for jumping. Another way to determine the speed of the car is to watch the mile markers and count the length of time it takes to travel each mile. (If it takes 120 seconds to travel one mile, then you are going around 30 mph). If the car is traveling faster than 30-25 mph, you need to find a way to slow the car down. Think of a way to distract the driver, such as pointing out something on the side of the road, or making a very loud noise. Any small distraction may cause the driver to remove their foot from the gas pedal. Another way to jump at a slower speed is to wait for the car to turn. In order to turn, the driver will need to slow down quite a bit, creating an opportunity for you to jump. If you are planning to jump from the left side of the car, wait until the car is making a right-hand turn. Conversely, if you plan to jump from the right, wait until the car is making a left-hand turn.

Improvise some padding. Assess your speed. Find a way to slow down. Wait for a turn.
Article: Your lucky Bamboo plant doesn’t need a lot of water. In fact, too much is bad for it.  Water your plant about once a week and ensure that there’s a few inches at all times, enough to cover the roots. If you have soil in your pot, make sure that it’s not too moist or dry. Your bamboo plant can live well in just water, so over soiling or fertilizing can actually harm it. Lucky Bamboo in the wild is usually shaded from direct sunlight by other, taller plants. You should keep your plant in an open, and bright area, but one that isn’t exposed to direct sunlight all day.  To best care for your Lucky Bamboo, keep it away from windows that get a lot of light. Instead, place it in a part of your room not so exposed. Your Lucky Bamboo plant will also grow best in temperatures between in 65°F and 90°F. If you wish to style the Lucky Bamboo plant, choose a few prime stalks to make a linked arrangement and put it on display. You can manipulate the stalks to grow around each other or curl with a bit of work; to do this you have to use younger stalks that haven’t grown a lot and hardened yet.  You can simply plant your stalks in a line or rows if you want straight stalks. To curl your Lucky Bamboo plant, get a cardboard box and cut off the bottom and one side. Place the box over your plant with the open end facing your light source. Your stalks will begin to curl towards the light as they grow. Once you see a bend, rotate your plant. You can also wrap some wire around younger stalks crisscrossing them. As they grow you will add more wire to keep them stable as they intertwine. Sometimes the ends of your leaves might turn yellow. This could be caused by a few factors: you plant isn’t getting enough water, there’s too much soil or fertilizer, or too much direct sunlight. You can trim off the yellow parts, or remove the whole leaf.  To remove the yellowed tips of your leaves, sterilize a pair of pruning shears or sharp scissors and with light rubbing alcohol or vinegar, then cut the yellow part off following the natural shape of the leaf. You can remove whole leaves by simply pulling them down off the stalk at the base of the leaf. . When one or two of your stalks gets too tall you can cut them and replant them. This will help you care for your Lucky Bamboo plant by ensuring that it doesn’t get too crowded and can produce new plants.  Take your longest stalk and remove the smaller leaves at the top of the shoot. With a sterile knife or scissors, cut the shoot so at least two nodes, which are the raised part of the stem, are on the new cutting. Place the shoot in a bowl of clean, distilled water. Keep it in a shady area for about one to two months until it begins to sprout roots. Once you see roots, you can replant it the same pot as your bamboo plant. People often tie a gold or red ribbon around the stalks of Lucky Bamboo plants to hold them together, and as an extra symbol of good fortune.  Add pebbles to finish off the look and hold the arrangement in place. Place your Lucky Bamboo plant somewhere where you will enjoy it and remind you to care for it.

Water sparingly. Keep your plant out of direct sunlight. Arrange your stalks. Remove dead or yellow leaves. Propagate your plant Tie the stalks in place with ribbon wire or other ribbon.
Article: The citric acid in lemons does have natural lightening components. Unfortunately, the process will take some time. If you want to speed the process up, try using hydroquinone, kojic acid, alpha-hydroxy acids, or bearberry as lightening agents. Be warned, however: There are some risks associated with some of these products. One study showed that 1 out of every 4 skin lightening products made in Asia but sold in the U.S. contained mercury. When using lemon and other skin-lightening products, always use sunscreen and avoid unnecessary time in the sun.  Lemons and lemon juice can dry out skin, making it susceptible to sun damage. Lightening your skin with lemon juice will take a long time, so it's tempting to try to apply a mask or lemon juice every day. Try to stick to 3-4 applications every week. Lemon juice dries out the skin too much to apply every day. Some sources say that lemon juice kills the bacteria that produce acne while simultaneously clearing up acne scars. Lemon juice may do this, but it may also interfere with any topical treatments you are using for acne. Talk to your doctor about coupling your acne treatment with lemon juice. Much of what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. If you are using other ingredients besides lemon juice as a peel, a wash, a lotion, or a mask, use good judgment about whether you'd want it in your bloodstream.

Lightening your skin with lemons does work, but will take time. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Try using lemon or lemon juice only every other day. Lemon juice may help with acne, but talk to your doctor about its effectiveness. Be aware of what products you put on your skin.
