By inserting a new and larger bottom stop, you’ll be able to cover missing teeth. Thus, your zipper will function normally and won’t get stuck or snagged in the future.  Bottom zipper stops are measured in millimeters. Determine the size you will need by measuring the width of the closed zipper. Turn the garment right side out. Push the prongs of the bottom zipper stop into the fabric directly above the old zipper stop—the new zipper stop will cover the missing bottom teeth. Turn the garment inside out and check if the stop is perpendicular to the zipper. Close the prongs with a pair of pliers to secure it in place.

Summary: Attach a larger bottom stop.


Sometimes a Kindle can get stuck in a flux position between on and off.  The screen might quickly freeze, or the buttons might temporarily not happen to work.  Simply turn off your Kindle.  Plug it into the wall so that it can charge up.  Turn the Kindle back on.  It is best to try this first, that way you don't have to go through the hassle of fixing a minor problem. A soft reset will not erase any secure passwords, or delete any digital books.  Soft resets are mainly for making your Kindle run faster, or resetting a frozen home screen.  A hard reset will delete all data, and restore your Kindle to factory settings.  This is a last resort measure, meant for Kindles experiencing large-scale glitches, continuously frozen screens, internal damage, etc.  If you have already repeatedly tried a soft reset, it maybe time to give a hard reset a try. Amazon offers great customer service as well, which can help you decide on which option is best for you. If you have accidentally dropped your Kindle, or dunked it in water, it maybe best to hand your Kindle off to a professional.  Amazon offers a free replacement if you are still inside of your warranty period.  If you are outside of the warranty period, they can send you a refurbished Kindle at a discounted price. This is critical for either a soft or a hard reset.  Plug your Kindle in using the power cord which came with your device.  Make sure the battery bar at the top of your home screen is completely filled up.  Once the battery is charged, remove the Kindle from the power cord. You will need your Kindle to be have at least forty percent battery life in order to perform a hard reset. When you wipe your Kindle, you will lose everything that you put on it. Content that you purchased through Amazon will remain linked to your account and can be re-downloaded.  However, third-party e-books and apps need to be saved separately.  This can be done by attaching your Kindle to your laptop by using a USB cord.  You will want to click drag everything over to special folder in your downloads section.

Summary: Try a simple restart before you begin. Choose either a soft or hard reset(factory default). Charge up your Kindle. Back up any crucial passwords and files.


Create daily routines and a structured plan each day rather than reacting to whatever comes up. Plan ahead and anticipate your needs.  A good idea is to have a backup plan ready in case of emergencies so that you are prepared with a contingency plan should the need arise. Establish a supportive network that you can draw on. Connect with friends, relatives, neighbors, coworkers, and professionals. Be ready and willing to ask for help if you need it. It's a good practice to make time for other activities besides work so that your days are balanced, enjoyable and fulfilling. Make time healthy habits, such as eating health food, exercising, meditating and taking other forms of quiet time. Many gyms, for example, are open over the lunch hour and may offer a reduced corporate membership. You block out time for meetings at work, so apply the same principle to your home life? Scheduling this time with family in advance will make it hard to cancel at the last minute and helps set that time in stone. Treat your family as if they matter just as much as the most important business person in the world and don't miss your "scheduled meetings" with them.  Eat meals as a family. Studies have shown that sharing a family meal together benefits the spiritual, mental, and physical well being of the entire family. Families that eat together have lower rates of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and depression, as well as higher grades and self-confidence. Eating together helps keep a family connected and engaged with one another; it can become one of the most enjoyable parts of the day for kids and parents alike.   Make time for the big and small moments in life. Take time to celebrate major milestones, achievements, graduations, birthdays, and holidays together with your family. Even marking smaller accomplishments (e.g., your child's winning goal in the championships) with a small token or special gathering will help each family member feel special and valued. Do something basic with your partner and/or family. It doesn't have to be a special event or take long, just something where you are together with them, such as watering the garden or taking care of the lawn, going for a drive or walk together, etc. As long as you are relaxed and listening, they'll feel that they're getting the attention they need and want. Enjoy the bedtime routine if you have children, including bathing them, reading to them and putting them to bed. Spending these moments with them lets them know that you care and are available for them.   Use the rest of the evening to catch up on the day with your spouse or partner. Consider this like a debriefing session; ask questions about one another's day and offer advice or guidance, or simply listen. The day-to-day is just as important to a healthy, mutually beneficial and sustaining romantic relationship as the grand gestures and proposals. We waste a lot of time in our daily lives thanks to television, Internet, video games, etc. Try removing any unnecessary distractions that don't really add any value to or enhance your live. Set specific times for activities like web-surfing, watching TV, and playing video games. Pick and choose what you will do and for how long. For example, if you have a favorite TV show that airs on Thursday nights for an hour, set aside the time to watch it, but do other things before, rather than watch more TV as you wait. Consider TV-watching an activity that is time-bound, rather than a way to pass the time. When in doubt, ask yourself "what matters most in my life?" Returning to and reflecting on your core values is a good way to pull yourself away from wasting time and spend that time on something that matters. Address how they feel about your work-life balance. By keeping the lines of communication open, you are avoiding building up resentment among those affected by your actions. Explain to your family and friends why sometimes you are not able to do everything they would like you to do (e.g., you have to miss a school event because of a work obligation). Openly explaining the situation can help others understand and empathize with your situation.

Summary: Get organized on a day-to-day level. Build breaks into your daily routine. Block out time your calendar for your family and friends. Take evenings off. Cut out time-wasting activities. Talk to family and friends about your workload.


If the shirt is colored, turn it inside out. Then, immerse the shirt into the water. Work it through and then squeeze out the excess water. You should only immerse one shirt into the water at a time. Put the shirt on a hanger and allow it to dry until it is damp. Once it is damp, remove it from the hanger. Iron it while it is still slightly damp. This will make the shirt crisp and wrinkle free. Make sure not to use too high of a heat setting if your shirt is made of a delicate fabric.
Summary: Immerse the shirt into the bowl. Hang the shirt to dry.
