Run the hot water tap in your sink to let the water heat up. Alternatively, you can heat some water up in a kettle and pour it into a bowl. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot! You should be able to touch the water safely. Otherwise, you may crack the glass of the jar. Hold the jar under the stream of hot water, focusing on the lid. If you’re using a bowl of hot water, set the jar upside-down in the bowl so that the lid is completely submerged. Allow the jar to heat up for a few moments. The heat from the water will expand the metal of the lid and help separate it from the jar. Rotate the jar while running it under hot water to help distribute the heat. Hold the jar steady with your non-dominant hand. If the lid is too hot to comfortably touch, cover it with a dish towel to protect your hand. Using your dominant hand, grasp the lid firmly and twist in a counter-clockwise direction. If the lid is still stuck, cover it with a rubber glove or a dish towel before trying again. This will help pry the lid loose by adding friction.

Sometimes a device simply won't connect to a wireless router because of an improper start-up sequence. Restarting your device may fix this problem. If your wireless router kicked your device off of the network, it may be because of a few different reasons:   The wireless Internet's password was changed - Select the wireless network and enter the updated password.  The device is not up to date - Update your device to the minimum required version.  The router was reset - Use the router's stock password to connect. The stock password (also known as the "security/network key") is usually on the back or bottom of the router. Causing your computer or phone to "Forget" the Wi-Fi network's settings will clear up any connection conflicts. To do so:   iPhone - Open Settings, tap Wi-Fi, tap a network, and tap Forget This Network at the top of the page.  Android - Open Settings, tap Connections (Samsung devices), tap Wi-Fi, tap a network, and tap Forget.  Windows - Open Settings, click Network & Internet, click Wi-Fi, click Manage known networks, click a network name, and click Forget.  Mac - Click the Wi-Fi symbol, click Open Network Preferences, click the Wi-Fi tab, click Advanced, click a network's name, and click -. You can do this by finding the "Reset" button, which is usually a tiny hole on the back of the router, and pressing it with a bent paperclip for ten seconds. Once you reset your router, you'll be able to reconnect using the router's stock password and network name. If you can connect to a coffee shop's or school's Wi-Fi but can't connect to your own, the problem is likely with your router or connection, not your device. If your router or connection is the problem, you'll need to call and request a network test or a replacement router and modem (if you rent equipment from your ISP).

Convert guilt into something empowering by being compassionate towards yourself. You are not the first to cheat—lots of others have stood in your shoes. Recognize that common thread of humanity and you won't feel so guilty for making a mistake.  You might softly caress your shoulders and back while saying “I am only human. I am not perfect. I will make mistakes.” This affirmation doesn't excuse your wrongdoing—it simply helps alleviate your suffering. You may add an addendum to the statement with something like "I did wrong, but I can try to make amends and do better in the future." Unload the painful feelings you are experiencing through a journaling activity. Doing so can help ease guilt and give you some objectivity about the situation. You may even uncover a solution while writing.  Write out in vivid detail exactly what happened. Express your thoughts and feelings about the situation. You might say, "I slept with my ex. I regret it, but I feel so guilty. I don't want my partner to find out, but I don't know how to move forward." If you are worried about someone else reading what you wrote, you might put the paper into a shredder or set it on fire. This act of destruction can also help symbolize that the cheating (and guilt) doesn't have to continue to affect you. Use your belief in a higher power to overcome guilt. You might do this by reading scripture, praying, meditating, fasting, or confiding in a spiritual advisor. Your faith may offer guidance as to how you can move forward after cheating. Following spiritual practices may give you peace and acceptance that ultimately minimize guilt. It's easy to get down on yourself about cheating, but dwelling on the past will only keep you hostage. Practice  thought-stopping when guilty feelings emerge. Rather than entertaining them, ask yourself “What now?” and try to continuously take positive action that moves you forward. For example, if negative thoughts arise about what you've done in the past, you might ask "What now?" and identify one small positive action you can take. Actions might include taking your partner out for a romantic date or committing to spending more quality time with them. Guilt, like all emotions, changes shape with passing time. Rather than thinking you must do something to relieve yourself of it, have patience that it will eventually fade. Be on the lookout for negative coping that can lead to  depression,  addiction, or other emotional problems. Avoid getting through the tough time by withdrawing from others, throwing yourself into work, or using alcohol or drugs.

In order to transfer the clay sculpture to a latex mask, you need a two-piece mold made out of industrial gypsum, which is porous so that the latex can soak into it as you make the mask in the next step. Your mold will be a reversed 3-D copy of the sculpture you made in the previous step. First, cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) square pieces of burlap. Set burlap aside and build a clay wall around sculpture starting at bottom below right ear, and working over the head to the left ear.  This wall will create a separation for a two piece mold. Mix the plaster in a plastic bucket, and spread an even coat of plaster over clay sculpture, making sure to get plaster into all the recesses of the sculpture. After the first coat of plaster is set, mix a new batch, and apply the burlap and plaster mixture to strengthen the mold. After the plaster is set, remove the clay wall. Use a bright colored acrylic paint, which will help you separate the pieces later.  After the paint dries, create the second half of the mold in the same way as the first. When the second half of the mold is set, slowly pry the two halves apart. Use a butter knife, working very carefully along the visible seam made by the acrylic paint so you do not crack your mold. Once the two halves are separated, remove the clay and the Styrofoam head.
