- If it’s too old and wrinkly, consider ironing it first.
- If it’s too old and wrinkly, consider ironing it first.
- 2Fold the top end down. Do it so that the fold falls just under the white edge. This covers the white edge and makes the finished ring a bit slimmer. Note that the front margins are different from the back margins!
- 3Fold the bottom end up. Do it the same as the top fold, to cover the white edge. The exact width for these two folds isn't critical, but try to keep them parallel with the edges of the bill.
- 4Fold the bill in half lengthwise. Bring the top and bottom edges you created together.
- 5Fold the bill in half lengthwise again. Run your fingernail or a pen over the fold to make it crisp and clean.
'
- 6Check your folds. They should look like this if you open up the end.
- 7Note that one of the small numbers should be facing out. Place it so that it's on your left, as shown.
- 8Fold the right end of the bill upwards (over itself). Form a 90-degree angle, about one-third of the total length. The placement of this fold can be adjusted to make the ring larger or smaller.
- 9Wrap the tab around the bill. Fold it straight down behind the bill.
- 10Turn the folded bill over, so that it is oriented as shown.
- 11Make the ring. Take the long end sticking out to the right, and curl it in a loop around the back. Pass the free end under the tab that is sticking down.
- 12Take the short part of the bill that's sticking out behind the tab, fold it across, over the angled fold on the outside of the ring.
- Arrange the number so it's on the outside, then tuck the end underneath. This is the "stone" or "top" part of the ring.
- Arrange the number so it's on the outside, then tuck the end underneath. This is the "stone" or "top" part of the ring.

FAMILY...........ANYTHING
A dad has been hailed a hero after he fought off a 25-stone bear by punching it repeatedly when it tried to attack his family.
Toby Burke threw himself between his wife Laura, his three children and the wild animal.
The 48-year-old, who was on a bird watching trip in Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, then stood his ground as the bear dove towards him.
‘It was just me between my family and the bear,’ he said.
At first Mr Burke defended himself with his camera tripod but this proved fruitless as the huge animal snapped it in half.
The bear then bit his arm, which sparked him into action – and he proceeded to punch the female brown bear in the face several times.
After a short while the beast decided it had had enough and ran away.
Mr Burke and his family all escaped unharmed but the bear, which was aged around 20, had to be shot dead after it later attacked police officers.

The Beauty We Live Among is Amazing and Breathtaking
Here are some places on Earth we don't always see
not all 100% natural couple had human help
Ko Tapu, Thailand
Ko Tapu (or Khao Tapu) is a tall islet (peaks at 20 meters above sea level) it is a part of Ao Phang Nga National Park and located off the shores of Khao Phing Kan (west part of Thailand). In 1974 Ko Tapu was shown in the James Bond movie – “The Man with the Golden Gun”, since it is also known as “James Bond Island“.
Bora Bora
Fly Geyser Reno
Fly Geyser was accidentally created in 1916 while drilling a well for water, though they didn't start forming until 1960. The spot picked had an unknown geothermal area. The heated water eventually found a weak spot in the well and pushed itself to the surface. The minerals started building up to create a mini volcano of about 5 ft. tall, with layers of terraces. The terraces have different colors from the minerals in the water and the geothermal water has found more weak spots to create two more geysers nearby. The water spouts continuously and fills holes and hollows in the terraces, to give the area a surreal look. Water where there isn't much water to begin with has attracted swans, ducks, and other animals to the area. Fish also swim through the ponds, introduced by an unknown human dropping the eggs in the water.
Mount Roraima, South America
With 400-metre tall cliffs on all sides, Mount Roraima is a truly remarkable creation. It is the tallest of the Pakaraima Chain in South America and borders Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. Many of the plant species atop this mountain are found nowhere else on earth. Only very experienced rock climbers have been known to make the extremely challenging climb.
Antelope Canyon, USA

it is one of most photographed, places in Arizona, and as you can see in the photos below, there is a good reason, this place is this place is strikingly beautiful not to mention unique.
Tianzi Mountains, China
Tianzi Mountain takes its name from a man, Xiang Dakun. He was the leader of the Tu ethnic group during the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 -1279). Xiang Dakun led a revolution and avowed himself as Tianzi (Son of Heaven). Visiting the Tianzi Mountain Area, visitors can see many sites about his story, the most impressive being: the Yu Bi Peaks, the Xian Nü San Hua, and the Shen Bing Ju Hui.
With pine trees on the top, the Yu Bi (imperial brushes) Peaks rise upward into the sky. Legend goes that they are brushes the Tianzi-Xiang Dakun used that became stone peaks after his martyrdom. The Xian Nv San Hua (floral tributes by fairies) is slightly opposite the Yu Bi Peaks. A legend goes that Xiang Dakun and his army were defeated to fall back on the Tianzi Mountain. He fought to the finish, but finally jumped off the cliff. A girl in love with him went across the mountain to search for him. She strewed flowers over the cliffs and turned into a stone statue. Shen Bing Ju Hui is a forest of soldier-like peaks arrayed for a review.
Bamboo Forest, Japan

Sagano Bamboo Forest is one of the most amazing natural sites in Japan.
