Step 4 part 2: Spritz the gradient soap in the mold with more rubbing alcohol and pour on your white soap until it reaches the top of the mold. Let this white soap cool over night or for at least a few hours.

Supplies: clear & white melt and pour soap, non-bleeding colorants (you will need at least 2 for the gradient effect), rectangular silicone soap mould, fragrance oil, spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol microwave safe bowl, spoon and knife, slim book to use as a riser

Step 1: Cut up 1/2 cup of clear soap and melt it for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Stir and microwave again if needed to just melt the soap but don’t let it boil. Add your colorant (I used a tiny sliver of a solid block colorant, but a few drops of liquid colorant also works), and stir to combine.

Step 2: Tip your mold up using a slim book on each end, and pour your soap into 1 side of each rectangle mold until it reaches about 3/4 of the way to other side. Now spray rubbing alcohol to get rid of any air bubbles and smooth out soap. Repeat the rest of your soap and mould cavities. Let soap cool for 20 mins.

Step 3: Repeat melting and coloring step with another 1/2 cup of clear soap and new color. Remove book riser from under mold, spritz the soap with more rubbing alcohol, and pour in your next color on the opposite side of the first color until it comes about 3/4 of the way up on the first color.

Step 4 Part 1: Let your new layer of soap cool for 20 minutes. Once cool, cut up 3-4 cups of your white soap into 1″ chunks, and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals until just melted. Stir to make sure all the pieces are melted, and then add in a few drops of your fragrance oil.

Step Five: It’s time to unmold your DIY gradient soap bars! WOW!

Until 1985, when my lab found the protein they are made of, aquaporins hadn't yet been identified. There had been a controversy in biology for more than 100 years about how water moved through cells.

I watch a lot of 'National Geographic.'

I love doing a show that makes no mention of ethnicity.

I won't admit to having a poster of Borg on my bedroom door. But I certainly found him to be someone who got me way more into tennis.

I have recently been able to see the new world - the quiet, the tranquility and the freedom it will bring with it. This is very comforting knowledge for me because I already know that what I envision eventually becomes a reality.

I've always believed that it's important to show a new look periodically. Predictability can lead to failure.

Any song I do, I put my heart and soul into and, as an artist, you can only hope it makes other people feel the way you feel when making it.

There was a great magazine in the '80s called 'Cinemagic' for home moviemakers who liked to do monster and special effects movies. It was like a magazine written just for me.

My own style is one of not much effort.

The freedom of every artist is essential.

Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.

There's always something coming. Good or bad, it's gonna help you to grow.

For me, true beauty has nothing to do with wrinkles and everything to do with the fact that my maternal grandmother raised five children just after the war and remained a fighter throughout her life. True beauty is the slick of red lipstick my paternal grandmother would put on before going to church on Sunday.

We've already seen digital picture frames pre-loaded with viruses; I'm not eager to have my refrigerator hacked or my alarm clock turned against me.

At 13, in my first year of Tonbridge, I went up for the part of Macbeth. I was up against the 17- and 18-year-olds, but for some reason I got the part. It made me incredibly unpopular with my peers, but it was the English and drama teachers who stepped in to save me when others wanted me kicked out of the school.

I hate small towns because once you've seen the cannon in the park there's nothing else to do.

My first reaction on being awarded the Nobel Prize was, actually, I thought of Fischer Black, my colleague. He unfortunately had passed away. And there was no doubt in my mind that if he were still alive, he would have been a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize.

There are very few profound sayings in the world.

I have struggles in screenwriting that lead me to a third act that's always more or less efficiently wrapped up in a fourth act that's trying to give closure to too many things.

Existence precedes and rules essence.

In a time of crisis we all have the potential to morph up to a new level and do things we never thought possible.

Even after doing that TV thing, 'Roswell,' I'm still waiting to see my first UFO.

My style is to take something unexpected and make it into a hit. That's what I do.

I've got some good saints out there - that's right - that pray for me constantly. You've gotta have that! You do.
