Problem: Article: Lay your rope and crown knot on your table and, using your fingers or a tool, like a screwdriver or fid, loosen the weave of your rope below the end strand fastener. You'll need your end strands to pass through the main body of your rope to complete your splice. After you loosen the strands, divide them into one near (closest to you), one middle (in between the other two strands), and one far (farthest from you) strand. This will make weaving your splice easier. Your final end strand will pass under and around the far strand to come through the gap between the far and middle strands. After this, you can pull the strand until there is no remaining slack, much as you did the first three strands.
Summary: Loosen the weave of your rope. Weave in your final end strand.

Problem: Article: Depending on the temperature of the room, choose a blanket that keeps you at a comfortable temperature. Consider having a few options for blankets in case the temperature fluctuates. Tuck the blanket over your shoulders, around your body, and under your legs and feet to prevent drafts. Choose a pillow that will stay in place and provide support for your neck. If a pillow is unavailable, consider using a rolled-up sweatshirt or towel. Aim for both comfort and support in choosing pillows. Controlled breathing allows you to focus on the moment and clear your head. The extra oxygen acts as a "natural tranquilizer for the nervous system." This breathing exercise can lull you to sleep.  Exhale completely through your mouth while making a "whoosh'" sound. Close your mouth and inhale through your nose to the count of four. Hold your breath to the count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth with the "whoosh" sound for eight seconds Inhale again and repeat the cycle three times. If you cannot fall asleep immediately, do not become anxious. Continue slow, controlled breathing and try to keep your eyes closed. Focus on relaxing each muscle and resting your body and mind.
Summary: Cover yourself with a large blanket. Support your head with your pillow. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Stay relaxed.

Problem: Article: There are many species to choose from, but some are easier to see and produce brighter flashes than others. Starter cultures are available from online vendors and usually cost about $25.00.seafarms.com and carolina.com are excellent online sources for starter cultures or kits.  Pyrocystis Fusiformis dinoflagellates are so large that the individual cells can be seen with the naked eye, and they are the hardiest and easiest type to grow. Pyrosystis Noctiluca are beautiful, but it is trickier to provide them with the right conditions they need to flourish. Pyrosystis Lunula tend to stick to the sides of the containers, and are more difficult to grow than other types of algae. Algae need plenty of light and nutrients to multiply in the ocean, and they need the same conditions to flourish at home.  Buy a nutrient solution or algae growth solution. Find a natural solution made with real seawater rather than choosing a synthetic solution, which won't be as conducive to growth. Growth solutions are available online or at aquatic supply stores. Choose a clear, lidded container, either glass or plastic, in which to grow your dinoflagellates. It's important that the container be clear to let in a maximum amount of light. Consider buying a plant grow lamp so you'll be able to control the algal light exposure. These can be purchased at plant supply or hardware stores. A regular 40-watt light bulb in a household lamp will also work. A closet might be a good option since you'll be able to control the light, but choosing a dark place isn't absolutely necessary. It's fine for algae to get natural sunlight during the day.  Make sure the place you choose always remains at a moderate temperature. Cold or hot temperatures could prevent the algae from growing. The optimal temperature range for growing algae is between 68 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (22 - 25 degrees Celsius).
Summary: Choose a type of bioluminescence dinoflagellate. Buy other materials to create the proper conditions for growth. Find a place in  your house to grow the algae.

Problem: Article: Regular watering will promote thick foliage and bloom growth. The soil around your gardenia bush should almost always be moist. How often you'll need to water your gardenia bush will depend on how dry the weather is. One of the best times to fertilize your gardenia bush is after you prune it. Use a fertilizer with a a 3-1-2 or 3-1-3 ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the amount you should use, and mix it into the soil around your gardenia bush. You should look for mealybugs, caterpillars, aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and spider mites. If you see any of these insects on your gardenia bush, try a natural remedy to remove them. If the infestation is bad, you may need to use an insecticide.  To get rid of aphids, spray them with water every 2-3 days until they disappear. For whiteflies and spider mites, try applying neem oil or insecticidal soap to your gardenia bush. Use your hands to pick caterpillars off your gardenia bush
Summary:
Water your gardenias regularly. Fertilize your gardenia bush 2 to 3 times per year. Check for bugs on your gardenias.
