gumball machine
When I was in New York a few weeks ago, my friend Sara Clifton was telling me about her daughter Lucca's request to be a gumball machine for Halloween. Sara had no idea how to turn her daughter into a gumball machine, but Lucca was adamant, and I was not offering any helpful advice (balloons? a plastic bag?).
Here is her brilliant solution:
1. Make a red skirt.
2. Add gumball machine components (like a coin plate, knob and hole) made from felt.
3. Buy a couple plastic bowls and plate from the dollar store. You'll need one large clear bowl to make the gumball bowl, one plate with the same diameter as the large bowl, and one smaller bowl.
4. Hot glue the small bowl to the center of the plate. This will help eat up some of the space in the large bowl, so you don't have to fill the entire thing with gumballs (which would be too heavy for a little girl to wear).
5. Fill the larger clear bowl halfway with gumballs, and then press the plate (now glued to the small bowl) on top like a lid. Hot glue them together.
6. Glue some red ribbon around the bowl and attach ribbon to help support the weight of the bowl.
7. Add a red beanie for the lid of the gumball machine.
As you can see, Lucca was quite pleased with the final result. Hooray for handmade costumes! (And thank you to Sara, for sharing her how to with us.)

nice one post like that
In our everyday lives, we use remote controls to watch TV, control our home theaters, etc. We know that the remote control communicates with the device using radiation as a signal. It is most often infrared radiation, but radiofrequency waves can also be used.
A TV remote control!does not cause any health problems for humans and is not harmful to the body. Radiation from remote sources does not cause cancer. There is no negative effect on a human being from using either IR or RF waves, so using any type of remote has no negative effects. The TV remote emits a small amount of radiation in order to send commands to the TV, and it only emits the radiation when we press any key on the remote.
