Fixing bicycle flats

What causes your bicycle tire to go flat? Slivers of auto glass, tax, hair wire or even a stone imbedded in the tire will do it. Large pieces are easily found. Examining the circumference of the tire is often spotted by accident very quickly. If there is a problem with puncture repair familiar there is a couple of issues.

A hidden object still left in the tire for one. Every time you inflate the object punctures another hole in the inner tube. Budget two dollar shop repair kits can be problematic. Once the cement is opened and used once and stored ready to need again the cement and patches don't seem to keep. The cement doesn't seem seal the patch properly rendering the patch useless. It is a common cause of puncture repair failure.

A big help in protecting the inner tube is another old inner tube used as a shoe inside the tire. The old inner tube acts as a double skin protection. Cut off the valve stem of the old inner tube.

When you come to reassembling the inner tube and tire doing one at a time is actually faster and easier. Start with fitting only one side of the tire into the rim leaving the other side outside.

Take the old inner tube and feed it all around the inside the tire as you would normally fit the actual inner tube.

Next the inner tube is feed the same way. 

No hole can hide from an under water test. Immersing the inner tube eventually you will come across a bubbling column. Tiny pricks are very tricky. They are so tiny as soon as you remove the tube out of the water you will loose site of the hole. It may take several attempts at re-immersing to keep track of the hole every time you dry the concerned area. You can only do the best you can. Once you have site of the tiny prick, with ball point pen circle it before you loose site of it again.

If there is no obvious bubbling check again this time, if there is a previous patch, or the valve, wait for several seconds under water for any sign of a single bubble struggling to emerge from the edge of the patch or from the valve.

It is critical to deflate the inner tube vacuum flat or the roundness in tube tend to lift the edges of patches where they tend not to stick here creating leeks in the edges often the cause of puncture repair familiar A technique is to roll up the tube into a ball and pressing the inner core valve in. The pressure will insures vacuum flatness.

Don't remove the silver backing of the patch just yet lining the patch right in the center and with a ball point pen trace a template. The resulting  template insures you can see what you're doing aiming the hole in the tube in the center of the patch and spreading the cement to the edges. 
With a scrapper such as a cheese grater like scrapper provided in the repair kit or some sand paper the surface of the tube in and round the template is cleaned to a dull mat finish.

Now we a ready to apply the cement

If you're using a brand new kit, unscrew the cap. In the top is a little pin. Turn over and pierce the silver seal. Don't empty the container or you will end up purring a messy glob. Squeeze a glob right on the inner circle.

Spread the rubber of the tube to widen the hole letting the cement drain into it to help plug it. Screw the cap back on the container using it to spread the cement covering beyond the perimeter of the template. Don't spread a thin layer or you will have a puncture reaper failure problem the patch won't stick. Spread a past spreading a thin layer from the center outwards.

You will notice the cement dries sticky. You can tear off the silver backing of the patch. It is not really necessary, but is helpful to spread some cement on the underside of the patch to insure you have covered your bases to the edges of the patch. When like seleotape line up the center circle in the center of the patch and press on.

You will only have one shot at this because the cement will stick fast. Watch your eye angle coordination is squaring the patch exactly to the perimeter of the template. Use a round edge of your pen smoothing round the edges. Don't Concentrate so much on the center but the edges of the patch.

Now the the inner tube can be reassembled back into the tire.

Bullying problems

Many parents have difficulty with their students to do homework often a reflection of a victim of bullying at school. Either that, or a  slow learner where lessens at school is way-way out of their depth will do it. If homework it is not easy to do will cause resentment towards it and schooling in General. Although well meaning protection and advise form teaches and parents to ignore bullies never learn to look after themselves. It's the real world out there where there it is always inevitable times where there will be no support but left to themselves. It's inevitable they have to look after themselves.

Inexperience won't known know what to do consequently during any quiet periods when not  bullied worry about the next time being picked on all the time on constantly on edge specially keeping an eye on known suspects avoiding them like the plague. Inexperience, meek and mild, conscientious objectors and pacifists often attract a lot of attention from those who openly resent anything meek and mild.

Hesitation, confusion though panic shows attracting a lot of it. These students can be bullied by a 10 year old playful teasing pulling their strings. The playful teasing can be full of inconsiderate embarrassing revelations, or nasty put when downs directed at them.  If we all discover we can pull someone's strings like a puppet we all can become pretty well an experience puppeteer.

loners have inevitably shown be very slow at social mixing specially if with the opposite sex. Consequently it shows as inexperience specially problematic for their age. Symptoms include hesitation confusion and panic on what is expected to do. It is often seen in faces. Quite often at some stage showed some signs of normal interest and attempts at mixing but often in there inexperience got rebuffed.

Experience tends to have no patience for inexperience special vulnerable for an age tending to rebuff and often made a mockery and example of. The inexperienced wondering what they did wrong will be almost immediately be a laughing stock. Panic and confusion sets in often expressed in their faces which often didn't helped in social gatherings. Experience can see experience kilometres away. The pair will experience the same wave length because they both see in each other have shown they have done that sort of thing before to each other It goes without saying a loner will identify noticing another with signs of similar experiences.

Been though done that sort of thing hundred and thousands of times before can develop a jealous resentment for others. If a man ( or a  woman ) doesn't respond to their conversation openers has developed a sensitivity to the quiet treatment taking it is a clear message to get lost ,develops a promise it is a sign of unwelcome attention  promising they will get lost promising never to make the mistake of speaking to that person again.

Victims of bullying have leant to experience stress from the anxiety of constantly worrying about where that next derogatory remark is going to come from or if going to be bullied today. Looking forward to be being teased at school all day long is no fun. The slow and inexperienced are particularly vulnerable to the worry of how they are copping.

What hurts the most are derogatory remark directed at them designed to do just that specially planed for everybody nearby to hear. It can be a nasty to playful skit that feels more like an embarrassing put down than anything else. Inexperience will seem slow and confused on what they are expected to and did wrong being embarrassed and ashamed not knowing what to do about being hurt like that. To the inexperience and slow all they can think of is finding a place to quietly hide inside their minds promising themselves what ever they have done wrong or promise themselves never make that mistake again.

We are not actors. We can't hide anything from anybody. The latter symptoms kept up for long enough will eventually get some attention. Most of us are not really impressed with a meek and mildness manor. Some can be quite resentful to it including teaches. The result can be quiet neglectfulness from teaches who are fully a aware of a potential victim of bullying if they kept up with that meek and mild withdrawn manor attitude for long. Constricting so much on that recognizing a surly angry withdrawn attitude as sign of being bullied is neglected. So to the possibility of a slow leaner having difficulty. Without bias we all tend to notice and offer help. Free from bias careful we tend to help with careful questioning often reveals true facts including uncovering a medical conditions like dyslexia. ( A visual brain interoperation of letters and number sorting problem ).

Withdraw confusion can potentially turn into antisocial resentment. We often see this in a surly withdrawn quiet and sulky keeping to themselves behavior, not mixing well domineer or the outward swaggering bombastic gang banners loitering and patrolling the streets displaying themselves in public. Withdrawn can be a result of a conflict ress sill between resentment and sense of duty to moral right and wrong thinking missing in lawless gang banners. Gang banners have no remorse to the injustices they often inflict on law abiding people.

A dust up between two individuals breaking it up to much attention is often paid in asking who started it instead of closely questioning who has been saying things to whom. A third person is often involved that has planted the seeds of discontent between a pair for some time making sure they can never be traced back to them. Nobody suspecting  a thing works perfectly in their favour. Without bias is needed for effective questioning of both parties. Unwelcome investigation bias or favour towards one or the other is often the cause of quick dismissal sending pairs on their way only leaving the fight unresolved to be continued latter.

Proper investigation will uncover lots of hidden causes. Psychologists are trained in the art of human behaviour investigations. They are the proper professionals interviewing bullies in unmasking the psychology of bullying in revealing what it is and how it works on us can be very revealing.

Antisocial personalities tend be bullies. They mix well on the outside but we all can generally hear advice we feel more like we are fools than anything else most of us have never really learnt not to take so seriously. This is because most of us don't recognize people speaking to us with advice as if they don't believe in us. Those that recognize it see how transparent these people are showing themselves. Recognizing them for what they are we can take their advice under advisement letting ourselves be the judge. We can say our pleasantries raping up the interview, make excuses to leave and move on promising to avoid that person like the plague. We are all capable of  finding others on the same wavelength becoming successful despite the advice we were not quite adequate. In other words we can all recognize poor advice when we hear it able to dismiss it and move on happily with our dream.

There are bullies that secretly harbour secretive hostility. Communication is often dishonest. They are the ones that hurt and ruin the reputation of others they target by sowing seeds of gossip, and putting ideas in others heads hopping to plant suspicions that cause rowels between two people making sure nothing can be traced back to them, a kind of covert Hostility. These are the hidden third party that had secretly work at imitating a fights or break up. They let the chaos and confusion of an escalating shouting match between two to finish the job for them.

We often get so involved in carried away in a rowel we don't recognize various reactions to accusations. If we did we would quickly able to resolve the situation rather quickly. For example we can all tell from a nonverbal behaviour form a partner something's up . Confronted there is two reactions. One, nobody is a good enough actor at hiding withholds. We are all so very transparent at that sort of thing. The other reaction to accusations can be so intense we tend not to recognize genuine shock and surprise reaction to an accusation. Genuine shock and surprise is a tool police detectives watch for in interviewing suspects. Detectives don't give anything away only keep ask interviewing. They just listen and observe, letting the suspect give away information by denying they had anything to with a murder giving detectives clues  for next step for their investigation.

The greatest mistake we can make withholding from a partner is not recognizing we are all transparent at that sort of thing. We always give ourselves away when it comes to withholds. In other words the mistake in convincing ourselves other people are not very bright they'll never know is a mistake. We get into the habit of thinking our partner or parents are stupid and tend to unconsciously show it. It is equally true we can unconsciously show our parents are not silly. Unless a parent has issues parents we all appreciate being treated with honest communication. Partners, and parents specially seasoned detectives are capable recognizing the behaviour of withholds. This will be why pressure is applied to be honesty and we make ourselves worse by our withhold behaviour adding to suspicion giving handing detectives clues. The quiet withholds treatment is the most loudest of all give a ways. It is so loud and transparent we might as well just be forthcoming with the withhold and be done with it. It is the main reasons why we are no properly believed.

Concentrating so much on the intensity of a rowel we can miss the reaction of a genuine shock and surprise reaction to a accusation. If we pay close enough attention we can believe someone easily who displays genuine shock and surprise in rowel as seasoned detectives notice in interviews. The cause of an escalating  shouting match trying to get to the truth boils down to panic from both partners. Understanding the value of not panicking can help. It is amazing how keeping cool, calm and collected like detectives do with suspects we discover the truth. Consider the panic we feel when we see a life threatening danger coming.

We have all heard shouldn't be alive stories about those odds of being killed in their favour yet incredibly ended up alive to tell the tale instead. Individuals have described watching death coming in seconds but for some strange reason those few seconds was actually agonizingly slow. We often hear survivors declare the longest seconds of their lives, even telling us seem go on forever.

It may seem strange, but that does describe Albert Einstein's 1905 special theory of reality time dilution principle in this case by our own brain response to time in a emergency. Our brain seems to have the ability to speed up a bit. Running faster than the environment's time we observe the environment seems slowed down. Such an experience we feel we have a bit of time to think because everything seems slow. Everything slowed down we get a confident feeling  we have time to think and react.

Two words don't panic are magic words that can help put ourselves in reassurance control. Lets say you spot a potential assault coming. We can reassure ourselves with "Don't Panic! Don't Panic! It's OK. Keep calm. Please remain calm. Don't panic. Please remain calm"!. If we don't panic in the face of any emergency our brain seems to speed up faster we observe the illusion the environment has slowed down. Our brain will come up with brainstorm tips on how to handle the threat. The beigest hurdle to panic control is when we pay to much attention on how fast things are happening. This is often due to inexperience. Inexperience is the important point to bear in mind when it comes to actual practice.

Those that have encountered threats of this nature hundreds and thousands of times before have always felt confident when they spot potential trouble heading their way. These people have leant how seconds can always seem a long time. They have been there done that hundreds and thousands of times before not likely to be railed into panic so easily. Anybody learning first the time will likely find it hard not to panic because they have learnt to concentrate to much on how fast minutes can go let a lone seconds. They feel they haven't the time to think straight. They haven't experienced not panicking before. Keeping, cool calm and collected helps go a long way in preventing overwhelming shouting matches from getting out of hand clouding our thinking.

Most of us don't recognize razed voices the start of a soon to be out of control shouting match. Experienced cancellers are practically psychologists because they have seen this sort of thing hundreds and thousands of times before. Been though this sort of thing hundreds and thousands of times before they can remain cool, calm and collected diffusing the threat of a out of control shouting match before it begins. They can spot inexperience clients kilometres away. Most of us don't recognize the early signs. Those that have seen it all before detect them coming before everybody else just from the early signs. When ever you detect a razed voice remember the value of not panicking to help you keep calm.

When we habitually talk to ourselves in our heads we can talk ourselves into anything from health to prosperity including not panicking. Constant rehearsing of the value of not panicking roll play in hour heads we can hypnotize ourselves into a state of calmness every time we sense a panic attack. When we encounter an unexpected real threat our hypnotic rehearsal will pay off keeping us calm. In less than a second without thinking the first thing we think of the reputation of the words we have been repeating to ourselves flowing though our heads.

To sum up the habit of reversing practicing emergency scenarios in our heads we can learn to keep calm. It goes a long way of not forgetting the magic words when we are really unexpectedly need them.

How to study

Many parents have difficulty with their students to do homework. Neglected homework is often a reflection of resenting it. Some students do a good job of hiding their resentment but often not for long. It comes out eventually. In the mean time can go unnoticed. A victim of bullying at school will do it. Students are often chastised by parental agendas and school policy. Resentment starts with a sense of no point to homework. It's not a specific goal. It is only a revision excessive to teach students to learn what they learnt from the day's schooling. Students often just drift into just going though the motions just to avoid parents and school pressure.

This makes relevancy important. We all know how it feels made to do any assignment that has very little relevancy. Students who feel there is no relevancy tend to be resentful at the general policy of doing general homework. "What am I really doing this for? There's no point". It's just stupid homework"

Bulled into any assignment we experience an all too familiar effect of resentment. Assignments that mean little the order is often challenged and trashed aside in defiant frustration. No choice inevitably rush and hurry under a cloud of resentment to get it over and done with. It won't be long before the resentment eventually comes to a head. With out any relevance only delays the inevitable. In other words asked to do any assignment with relevancy we tend to be all to pleased to help out.

General homework assignments cover far to much of a broad range of general knowledge for useful relevancy. There are times, when  just one single subject seems to take a students interest. It seems to stand out to them. When that happens it is only the specific subject that will be relevant. The rest is ignored. This is what happened to Albert Einstein. He showed defiance at everything except mathematics. He seemed to be very intelligent at number crunching as a little boy getting some favorable notoriety attention for it encouraging him. Number crunching was good fun to him. He was incorrigible in that area. The rest of his schooling  was never really up to expected scratch.

Often students miss the point sending their talents in the wrong direction. About the same time Einstein was practicing math's Adult Hitler was a teenage drifter living in Vienna. He concentrated all his energy on being a famous artist art teaches noticing an impressive talent for perspective drawing of buildings but no talent for people. Hitler could draw direct with his eyes with out any drawing aids. The prefect lines was ideal for architect building illustrations. Some of the perspective details in his buildings were quite impressive. If he wasn't so focused on being a famous artist could have channeled his talent in that direction. Unfortunately so focused he resented any suggestions of taking up architecture he could have been worth a lot of money to drafting companies or as a patent office drawer. Hitler didn't see the relevancy of architecture in  his dream.

Recognizing the relevancy of homework only comes with a single subject that jumps out at a student. A subject they are interested in will have no qualms about  not knowing enough with a thirst to wanting to know more. They will be bad as collectors collection books and information on the subject they find good fun. In their curiosity they will go that extra kilometer finding their own way in learning on their own how to research naturally. They will be driven by what interest them the most. There is a motive to do more learning as they go. They end up  teaching themselves. We know what it's like with a assignment that means somthing to us. The first instinct we all think of is to check out libraries for what books on the subject are available to us has to offer for answers. Another sign students can't stop discussing, and lecturing what they leant about their pet subject. Added excelling in that one particular area clues parents often miss. A keen Interest in any subject is a great motivator. The subject of interest is real to them. It means a lot.

A hurdle students often overcome on their own though their pet subject is the gradient of the text. Under the guidance of a strong interest students soon discover on their own to recognize the contents is to hard to understand. They had reach a point were they recognize to discard the books that confuses them moving on searching for books that jump out at them in every sentence. If a student is interested enough curiosity will guide them in finding the right gradient they can cope with.

Pet subjects often teach student's to notice authors who seem to go on and on and on with out really coming to the point. We all appreciate text  that comes to the point in every sentence. A students experience will soon pick up on the clue noticing the confusion is in the rambling on long mouthful sentences. Long mouthfuls are often composed with two or more sentences each sentence called a clause. Each clause is linked by linking words. It is the link words between causes that often trips up our brain. This is because the human brain is hard wired to fill in details. Mouthful sentences are a curse for it. We all loose sight at what the author is going on about very quickly because of our brain filling in the details for us all the time.

Familiar words linking clauses our brain knows well, such as "a.... the...... so.....well.....therefore.....ect" are often interoperated by our brain's understanding  filling in the context automatically. We are not thinking of context. Link words are often misinterpreted leaving the whole sentence confusing. Another cause is words students are intermitted enough to know the meaning well passing on causing the same problem. A pet subject is often a motive not to give up in encountering confusing text soon learns on their own to discard long mouthfuls sentences searching for coming to the point sentences in the next paragraphs.

When the first paragraph is confusing we tend to move on looking for answers in the second. We tend to scan the next paragraphs looking for key points that might explain the rest of the text only making things worse. The trick is to recognize we are tripped up by one of two link words linking the clauses in a long winded sentence somewhere in the first couple of paragraphs. When we recognize that, we tend to instinctively to go back and double check what we have missed. If we recognize it is caused by couple of clause linking words we can recognize the key is to carefully look at the clauses properly searching for the link works with more scrutiny linking the clauses properly.  Anyway long winded sentences should be recognized as a gradient that is to high and discard in favor for a gradient with much shorter sentences we can be handled.

The key point is when we have a pet subject driving us we tend to learn on our own to recognize words we thought we where familiar interpreted wrongly in the first place intended for the context of the sentence by the author. We can appreciate with out any resentment the clue to the meaning is in the link words between sentences. We tend to feel necessary the meaning needs to be double checked in a dictionary to be sure. Often we learn all sorts of discoveries learning tricks to our study on our own all the time. Extreme interest in a pet subject students often discover how to study developing the value of dictionaries on their own.
