Q: When you two are spending time with your mutual friends, see if they treat you differently than how they treat other people they are friends with. They may be more affectionate with you, try to talk more to you, or make comments about your relationship.  When your best friend treats you the same as any of their other friends, it's unlikely that they're interested in you romantically. A friend that treats you like they treated their exes may be interested. This can help you determine whether they are just being their normal friendly selves or if they are interested romantically in you. Naturally, you're going to spend time with your best friend. However, ask yourself whether the things that you do together seem like dates. For example, do you go out to dinner and a movie? If so, is it usually just the two of you?  When someone starts to become interested in someone romantically, they'll want to spend more and more time with them. If you notice that the two of you are spending way more time together than you normally do, and that those hangouts start to feel like potential dates, they may be interested in you. You should also notice if they start to tell you how much they enjoy spending time with you one on one. This might be a way for them to try and tell you that they're looking for something more than just friendship. Listen to how they speak about you to other people and how they speak when they are talking to you. When people are attracted to someone, they may speak in a special tone of voice reserved for that special someone. They may also be a little nervous around you and blush.  Pay attention to how much they laugh at your jokes or things that you do. If they laugh more frequently than usual, it might be because they like you. Friends aren't awkward with one another, so if you start noticing that they seem shy and bashful about certain topics, it could be a sign that they're interested in you. For example, they may become shy when you bring up school dances or dates that you've been on. They may be trying to tell you how they feel in a subtle way. They may try to bring up romantic subjects or ask whether you are interested in someone right now. They may also try to deepen your connection by asking you very deep questions about your life, dreams, goals, and desires. Since this is your best friend, they probably pay attention to what you say already. But, you may notice that they start to remember small details about your life that they would otherwise forget, like when you have a test or a special appointment. They might show you that they remember these things by wishing you luck or commenting when the day is here. Flirting can signal that they are attracted to you, or it could mean that they are a naturally flirtatious person. You'll need to distinguish what their flirting means, but you have the benefit of knowing their personality already. Look for signs of flirting like:  They compliment you frequently. They smile and gaze at you when they talk about you.  They touch their hair or face when speaking to you. They laugh at all your jokes, even when they aren't that funny. They gently tease you or playfully poke fun at you. You may notice that they start to pay more attention to their appearance when they know they are spending time with you. For instance, they may wear nicer clothes or clothing that they know that you like or wear makeup and do their hair. When someone is attracted to someone, they often try to present their best selves. If you start to notice that they consistently seem to be spending more time on their appearance when the two of you are together, they may be interested in you.
A: Compare how they treat you. Notice when you're spending more time together. Listen to how they speak. Listen to what they say. Look for flirtatious behavior. Look at how they present themselves.

Article: A sharp "NO!" whenever your cat goes anywhere near a clawed piece of furniture can help to reduce his interest in clawing it. Be aware, however, that the cat may only learn not to scratch when you are present, and may continue to scratch in your absence since they link the punishment directly to you.  Another way to curb clawing is to toss a can of pebbles or pennies to land near the cat (do not throw it at them) to startle them. Try not to let the cat see that you threw it. This way, it appears triggered by the scratching, and has nothing to do with you. That way the cat is less likely to scratch when you are away, because they don't associate you directly with the punishment. Then, pick them up and place them next to the scratching pole as a means of conditioning. Don't sound angry or go into a nasty tirade against your cat; remember they are simply following instincts and you're the higher-level being with the ability to control your emotional outburst. Never scold your cat when they are near or using the scratching post. They need to associate the scratching post with all things pleasant and happy. If you have a spray bottle of water, you could try squirting your cat whenever they go near the furniture and start scratching it. Aim to do this before they start scratching but if not, squirt mid-scratch. This won't hurt the cat but it will help them to associate scratching that piece of furniture with a less-than-pleasant spritz of water!  Again, this can also cause the cat to link your presence to getting sprayed, so they may do their scratching when you are not there. You can also use a citrus oil mix to deter your cat. Some cats are repelled by the scent of orange oil. Mix equal parts, about a cap-full each, of eucalyptus oil and orange oil in a spray bottle of water. You can test this on your cat by putting a small amount on a damp cloth and present it close to their nose. You will need to shake the contents before each use as the oil and water will separate after a short time. Using this method not only helps to deter your cat from destroying furniture or walls, but gives your house a pleasant and fragrant odor as well. Sometimes you will just need to physically stop the cat from scratching. Remove them from where they are scratching and give them something else to do. Try giving them a toy to play with or petting them for awhile, whatever they enjoy more than scratching.

Q: " You can determine the value of the money factor in one of two ways depending on the information that is provided to you by the dealer. It might be an interest Annual Percentage Rate (APR) or a "rent charge." rent charge. If the dealer provides you with the interest rate APR, divide the interest rate by 2,400. For example, if the interest rate is quoted at 6 percent, the money factor = 6  /  2,400 = 0.0025. If the dealer provides a "rent charge" or "lease charge," add the residual value to the net capitalized cost. Then multiply that total by the number of months in the lease term.  Divide the rent charge or lease charge by this number to compute the money factor.  For example, if the dealer quotes a lease charge of $3,465, the money factor = $3,465  /  [($22,000 + $16,500) x 36] = 0.0025. "2400" is the denominator after conversion of a percentage to decimals, yearly interest to monthly interest, and applying it to average principal amount outstanding during the lease. Multiply that total by the money factor. The result is the financing portion of your lease payment. For example, financing fee = ($22,000 + $16,500) x 0.0025 = $96.25.
A:
Calculate the "money factor. Compare APR vs. Add the net capitalized cost to the residual value.
