Before starting any planning, be certain what the goal of your market survey is. What do you want to find out? Do you want to try to assess how well your market will accept a new product? Maybe you want to figure out how well your marketing is working or reaching its designated audience. Whatever it is, be sure that you have a clear goal in mind. For example, imagine that you own a company that sells and repairs computer equipment. Your goal with a marketing survey might be to figure out how many students at a local college know about your business and how likely they would be to buy from you for their next computer purchase or repair. Before conducting a survey in a given market, you need to know what market you're targeting. Choose geographic and demographic parameters, identify customers by types of product, and get an idea of how many people there are in the market.  Narrow your market research to a short list of desired data: buying habits, for example, or average income. For the computer repair business's situation mentioned above, this is fairly simple. You would be looking at college students. But, you could potentially try to focus on higher-income or more tech-focused students that could afford to buy more from you. This will depend entirely on your marketing goals and there are a large variety of options here. If you have a new product, you may want to figure out how well it is recognized or desired in a given market. Alternately, you may want to know about the specific buying habits of your market, like when and where and how much they buy. Just be sure to have a clear idea of what you want to find out.  Also clarify what type of information you want. You can ask qualitative questions, which ask for information that cannot be directly measured in numbers, like if the customer has any suggestions to improve a product or service. Alternately, you can ask quantitative questions, which ask for a numerical or quantifiable input, like asking for a rating from 1 to 10 of the effectiveness of the product....

Before starting any weight loss plan, talk to your doctor.  She'll be able to discuss your weight goals and let you know if weight loss is safe and healthy for you.  Ask your doctor about being referred to a registered dietitian.  She may have a colleague she works with on a regular basis. A registered dietitian is a nutrition expert that can help you design your weight loss plan, assist with meal planning, or suggest certain foods for weight loss. Visit the EatRight website and click on the orange "Find an Expert" button on the top right to search for a dietitian in your area. Losing five pounds in five weeks can be fairly simple — especially when you count calories.  To lose about one pound a week, aim to cut out 500 calories daily from your diet.  This generally results in about a one pound weight loss per week. Do not cut out too many calories or eat fewer than 1200 calories daily.  This may result in nutrient deficiencies as it can be difficult to consume enough vital nutrients on very low calorie diets. A food journal is a great weight loss tool.  You can use it to see what changes you can make in your diet and also to help keep you on track throughout your diet.  Purchase a journal or download a journaling app on your smart phone.  Track as many days as you can — both weekday and weekend days.  Many people eat differently on the weekends, so including both weekend and weekdays is important.  When you're first starting your journal, take note of how many calories you're eating daily.  Many of the food journal apps do this for you automatically.  This can give you a idea of a calorie goal to follow for your weight loss plan. Meal plans are another great tool for weight loss.  Planning out your meals and snacks in advance can help you stay on track and stick to your plan.  Consult a dietitian in regards to a meal plan to ensure that it is accurate and appropriate for your health history. Take a day each week to write out your meal plan.  Include all meals and snacks that you'll need for the week. Your...

Before taking any over-the-counter medication or supplement, you need to talk to your doctor.  Not all supplements are safe for all people.  The FDA does not monitor vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements.  Any supplement can be sold over-the-counter to any person.  Look for supplements that have been certified by U.S. Pharmacopeia, NSF International, and ConsumerLab.com. These companies test supplements to ensure they contain what is claimed on the bottle.  When starting a supplement talk to your doctor or pharmacist about which type of supplement may be appropriate for you.  Tell him or her what your goal is and ask if there are other options outside of a vitamin. When asking about a supplement you've already purchased, make sure to have the brand name, vitamin type, and form (found on the ingredient label) and dosage amount.  This information will help your doctor decide whether or not the supplement is appropriate for you. Since dietary supplements are not regulated, you'll need to take charge of what you ingest in supplement form.  Carefully monitor which type of supplements you decide to take.  Read the ingredient label of all vitamins.  For example, if you're looking for Vitamin D, choose a supplement that visibly says "Vitamin D" on the front.  Then flip the bottle over and look at the ingredient list. This will tell you what form of Vitamin D is in the supplement in addition to other ingredients in the pill.  Make sure all other ingredients are safe for you. Read the serving size and dosage amount.  On the back of the bottle, there should also be a nutrition fact panel.  It will tell you the serving size (for example: two tablets) and the dosage per serving (for example, 30 mg).  Make sure to be clear about how much is safe to take for you and what the exact serving and dosage amount is.  Do not take more than the serving size or dosage daily.  Read about any possible side effects.  Like prescription medications, many over-the-counter supplements do have side effects.  Review any side effects listed...

Before the audition, research the particular character or role as much as you can. Read books or search online. This will help you get into character even before you start practicing lines. For example, if you are trying out for Desdemona's role in Othello, look up who she was, what she did in the play, and the historical significance of her character. for the part you are auditioning for. Start memorizing your part as far in advance as you can. Memorize your lines or lyrics exactly as you will be performing them in the audition. Practice your lines over and over until you know it by heart.  If you are unfamiliar with a word, look it up and familiarize yourself. If a part is particularly tricky, give yourself extra time to perfect it. Sight reading, or “cold reading,” is when you read material with little or no time to prepare in advance. During most acting auditions, you’ll be asked to cold read a piece, as well as deliver your own monologue. Practice auditioning with unfamiliar work to become comfortable with sight reading during your audition. For example, find an unfamiliar play and practice acting out loud. Wear something you will feel comfortable and confident in. However, don’t pick clothing that grabs lots of attention. Avoid dressing in costume since you’ll be styled to fit the part after you get it. You want to look professional and neutral so you can fit any role.  Avoid wearing bulky jewelry or choosing loose clothing. Wear shoes that are closed-toed,  lightweight, and comfortable, like flats or sneakers. Do not wear flip-flops, as they look unprofessional. Before the audition, review the audition notice to make sure you know the audition guidelines. Then, show up to your audition at least 15 minutes early to show your initiative and time management. When you arrive, check in at the front desk, introduce yourself and the part you are auditioning for, and be ready to audition at any time. You never know the schedule the casting director is working with.  Be prepared to answer questions about...

Before the conversation, figure out why you don't want to continue the relationship. This will help you better express your feelings. Consider what went wrong, if anything, and why you're not interested in the other person.  When did you notice the relationship did not feel right? The person may have said something that indicated you wouldn't be compatible. For example, the two of you may want different things from a romance. You don't have to be brutally honest with the other person. If there was something particular you disliked about them, there's no need to tell them. However, knowing on your own end can make you more confident about breaking things off. Agree with yourself that you will keep it simple. For example, have a reply ready if they ask for “one more chance” so you’re not caught off guard. When breaking things off, try not to make it a bigger deal than it was. Many online relationships are not serious, even if you meet up for a date or two. The other party may be taken aback if you approach the situation with the seriousness of breaking off a long-term, face-to-face romance.  Remember, you can exchange many messages online and not have chemistry in real life. The other person may already understand. Therefore, you may be able to approach the situation somewhat casually. You do not want to beat around the bush when breaking things off. Online relationships can sometimes be confusing, as you interact intellectually before you do so physically. As the boundaries can be confusing, make sure to be as direct as possible when breaking things off. You can send them a text, or meet them in person to let them know.  It can be helpful to begin the conversation with something nice. You can say something like, "I had a great time hanging out with you, and you seem like a really nice person." Explain your feelings about the relationship. You can be brief and to the point. For example, "While I had a good time, I just don't feel a romantic spark." There's no need to leave harboring negative feelings. You can...

Before thinking about all the possible outcomes and probabilities involved, make sure to understand the problem. For example, consider a die-rolling game that costs $10 per play. A 6-sided die is rolled once, and your cash winnings depend on the number rolled. Rolling a 6 wins you $30. Rolling a 5 wins you $20. Rolling any other number results in no payout. This is a relatively simple gambling game. Because you are rolling one die, there are only six possible outcomes on any one roll. They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. This gambling game has asymmetric values assigned to the various rolls, according to the rules of the game. For each possible roll of the die, assign the value to be the amount of money that you will either earn or lose. Recognize that a “no payout” means you lose your $10 bet. The values for all six possible outcomes are as follows:  1 = -$10 2 = -$10 3 = -$10 4 = -$10 5 = $20 win - $10 bet = +$10 net value 6 = $30 win - $10 bet = +$20 net value In this game, you are presumably rolling  a fair, six-sided die. Therefore, the probability of each outcome is 1/6. You may leave this probability as the fraction of 1/6 or convert it to a decimal by dividing on a calculator. The equivalent decimal is 1/6 = 0.167. Use the table of values you calculated for all six die rolls, and multiply each value times the probability of 0.167:  1 = -$10 * 0.167 = -1.67 2 = -$10 * 0.167 = -1.67 3 = -$10 * 0.167 = -1.67 4 = -$10 * 0.167 = -1.67 5 = $20 win - $10 bet = +$10 net value * 0.167 = +1.67 6 = $30 win - $10 bet = +$20 net value * 0.167 = +3.34 Add together the six probability-value calculations to find the EV for the overall game. This calculation is: EV=−1.67−1.67−1.67−1.67+1.67+3.34=−1.67{\displaystyle {\text{EV}}=-1.67-1.67-1.67-1.67+1.67+3.34=-1.67} The EV for this gambling game is -1.67. In real world terms, this means that you can expect to lose $1.67 each time you play the game. Notice that, according to the rules of the game, it is impossible to lose $1.67. Your only options for each $10 bet are to win...

Before trying harsh chemicals on your quartz, try the Waller solution method first because the chemicals in the solution are easier to obtain and are less harmful. You can buy the chemicals and mix them yourself or purchase Super Iron Out at a regular department store (such as Walmart).  Put the quartz in the solution outside because the solution has a strong smell. The solution only lasts for 24 hours. Make the solution at home with: 8.4 grams of Sodium Bicarbonate, 17.4 grams of Sodium Dithionite, and 5.9 grams of Trisodium salt of Citric Acid (sodium citrate). Make sure to wear eye goggles and gloves when using the Waller solution. If the Waller solution does not work, you can use oxalic acid to clean quartz. You should be very careful with it because it is toxic. Make sure to wear gloves, protective eye gear, and to not inhale the oxalic acid. Make sure to use the oxalic acid outside where there is ventilation. There are other chemicals you can use instead of oxalic acid to clean quartz, but they are more dangerous.  You can usually find oxalic acid for sale in hardware stores. Use technical or industrial grade oxalic acid because it is less expensive than pure oxalic acid. Mix 1-1.5 pounds of oxalic acid with around five gallons of water. Mix the oxalic acid in a plastic or ceramic container because it attacks metals. Let your quartz soak in the oxalic acid solution overnight. After the the quartz is clean, rinse the quartz in clean water for a few hours.  Be extremely careful with oxalic acid. Always where gloves and protective eye gear. Work with the oxalic acid somewhere well ventilated. Do not throw oxalic acid down the drain. Neutralize your solution with limestone chips. You can leave this neutralized solution around (somewhere safe) and add more oxalic acid to it later if you need it again. You can also let the solution evaporate.

Before using any bleaching products, whether natural or store bought, apply them to a small patch of your skin first. Watch for an allergic reaction over the next day or so. If you have any irritation, you should not use that product to bleach your facial hair. It makes sense to use a patch of skin on a hard to see place on your body, such as your arm. If your skin tends to be sensitive, look for mild formulas in the store when finding a bleaching product. Bleaching is a somewhat intense process for any skin type and can cause a lot of irritation if your skin is already sensitive. Bleach can aggravate things like abrasions, warts, and moles. Avoid applying bleach altogether if you have existing warts and moles where your facial hair is. If you have abrasions or injuries, let them clear up before bleaching your skin.

Before you apply for a paid position, put in some time with an unpaid one. Search online or through your school for open internships. Gain working experience to bolster your resume when it comes time for the job hunt. Other benefits of an internship include:  References from industry insiders. Extended contacts with people in the field. More familiarity with the day-to-day reality of the job. Since you don’t have any published games to point to, prepare some examples on your own to submit along with your cover letter and resume. Continue developing personal projects and publish them online in a public Git repository where employers can check them out. Don’t worry about creating whole games. Instead, develop short-and-sweet demos that highlight the specific areas that you want to specialize in. Whatever your demo might be, make it perfect. Don’t try to wow interviewers with something overly complex if you can’t get it right. Showcase something simple and flawless instead. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t apply to positions with established, well-known, successful companies. However, such companies are better situated to offer higher pay and possibly more job security, so expect your competition here to be pretty fierce. Concentrate instead on newer, smaller companies, who, like you, probably have to be less choosy. This isn’t a guarantee that you’ll get hired, but you’re less likely to be up against programming rockstars with way more experience than you. First of all, look for job postings on company websites. Then, after you submit an application, brush up on the company. Read their own published profile, as well as any write-ups from outside sources. Jot down any questions that occur to you so you can pose them in your interview. In addition to your technical skills, demonstrating a working knowledge of both the company and the game business at large in your interview should raise your standing among other candidates. .

Before you attempt to dispose of your Petri dishes, you first need to take the proper safety precautions.  Although most of the bacteria you grow will not be hazardous, large bacteria colonies may pose more of a risk - so you will need to kill them before disposal using household bleach. Protect your hands from the bleach by wearing rubber gloves, protect your eyes with plastic goggles and protect your clothes by wearing an apron. Cover open cuts with rubber gloves and avoid ingesting or breathing in the bacteria as it grows. Open the Petri dish and carefully pour a small amount of bleach on top of the bacteria colonies, holding the dish over a sink. This will destroy the bacteria.  Be very careful not to let any of the bleach touch your skin, as it will burn. Then place the disinfected Petri dish into a ziplock plastic bag and dispose of the bag in the trash.

Before you attempt to reconnect with your child, it may be helpful to find out why your adult child is upset or angry with you. You may be able to get the information directly from your child, or you may need to find out from someone else who knows the situation. In order to mend fences, find out the problem first.  Once you have a sense of what has gone wrong, you will have some time to think through your next steps, and what you want to communicate to your son or daughter. Reach out to your adult child and ask. You could say, “Renee, I know you aren’t speaking to me right now, and I would like to know what I have done to hurt you. Could you please let me know? It’s okay if you don’t want to talk to me, but please write or email. I can’t fix the problem if I don’t know what it is.” If you do not hear a response from your son or daughter, you could get in touch with another family member or mutual friend who might know what’s going on. You could say, “Jack, have you talked to your sister lately? She’s not speaking to me, and I can’t find out what the problem is. Do you know what’s going on?” While discovering the reason behind the estrangement would be optimal, be aware that you may not be able to find out what is going on. However, don’t let that stop you from pursuing reconnecting with your child. Spend some time thinking about the reasons behind the estrangement. Was it triggered by something from the past? Has there recently been a huge change of life that caused the rift (such as a death in the family, or a birth of a child)? Perhaps you even refused to communicate with your child for a period of time, and now find your child unwilling to communicate with you. Keep in mind that many adult children become estranged from their parents because of their parents’ broken marriage. Children from a broken marriage experienced their parents prioritizing their happiness over the needs of the child (even if the divorce was for the best). Often, in these types of situations parents may speak badly about the other...

Before you begin comparing prices or drooling over various models, think about how you’ll actually be using your motorcycle. Most cycle enthusiasts tend to use their bikes for one of several purposes: recreational riding/commuting, touring, motorsports, or some combination thereof. Knowing which riding style best applies to you will help you find a bike that’s suited for your specific needs and preferences.  Ask yourself what kind of you imagine when you picture yourself owning a motorcycle. Are you just interested in cruising around your neighborhood? Do you plan on loading it up for a road trip instead of your usual vehicle? A 1000cc superbike can offer high-speed thrills on the track, for example, but it probably isn’t the most practical way to get to work. Since auto dealerships only turn a profit if they can inspire enough confidence in their customers to make a sell, they have a vested interest in stocking quality, well-maintained items. They also generally offer some type of warranty, which will keep you from getting stuck with the cost of repairs in the event that something goes wrong in your first few months of ownership.  Many dealerships can also perform ownership history checks on any of their units. That way, you’ll know that the bike you’ve got your eye on hasn’t been stolen or written off as non-resellable by an insurance company. At a dealership, you’ll be paying for peace of mind as much as a product. The asking prices may not always be as attractive as those in private listings, but at least you’ll know that your purchase comes guaranteed. Used motorcycles are constantly being listed on e-commerce sites like eBay. You can also seek out private sales online through resources like Cycle Trader or the motorcycle section on Autotrader, which allow you to fine-tune your search based on parameters like make, model, year, and mileage. If you want to avoid the cost and potentially tricky logistics of long-distance shipping, use local trading sites like Craigslist or Facebook Market to look through...

Before you begin cooking your tomato sauce, you need to preheat your oven at 400 °F (204 °C). In a saucepan, add 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the chopped onion. Cook the onion until it is translucent. Add all of the tomato sauce and stir. Cook on a low flame for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. The pastella is the coating for the eggplant. Beat 4 eggs in a bowl. Add flour, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and mint. Mix well. Add the water and stir.  If the pastella is too thick, you can add more water. The pastella is supposed to be about the consistency of pancake batter. If you add too much water, add more flour to thicken it back up. Peel each of your eggplants. Cut them lengthwise in strips. They should be about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) thick. Dip the eggplant in the pastella. Coat both sides evenly. Make sure there isn't too much pastella on the pieces. You want them covered but not drenched. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Fry each pastella coated eggplant piece in the oil until golden brown. Remove them and place them on a paper towel. Blot with more paper towels to remove the excess oil. Cover the bottom of a large baking pan with a generous helping of the tomato sauce you set aside earlier. Layer the eggplant on top of the sauce, covering the whole pan. Cover each eggplant slice with more tomato sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top of the eggplant. Also add 1/4 a pound of mozzarella cubes to this layer. Last, add a layer of mortadella on top of the cheese. Repeat until you run out of eggplant.  Mortadella is an Italian deli meat that is similar to bologna. It has a sweeter flavor and is milder in flavor than bologna. Look for it in the deli section of your grocery store. This amount of eggplant is generally enough for three layers. Add a generous amount of sauce on the top layer of eggplant. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese, which should be about 1 cup. Make the final layer along the top of the dish with the slices of mozzarella. Cook for 30...

Before you begin drilling, it’s important to measure the width of the boards you’ll be working with. The thickness is what you’re looking to gauge here. Knowing the exact thickness of the board will enable you to drill the pocket holes at just the right angle.  Always measure your wood, regardless of the specifications given on the label. It’s possible for wood to shrink or for a board’s width to be based on averages rather than precise measurements. The difference of a fraction of an inch could potentially throw off your whole project. Line the pocket hole drill bit up with the specifications indicated on the base of the jig. The step (the place on the bit where it narrows to a point) should be even with the notch that corresponds to the thickness of your board. Slide the depth collar to the appropriate height and tighten it using an Allen wrench.  The depth collar is slightly wider than the guide holes of the jig, and will keep you from drilling too far into the wood. A special pocket hole drill bit should be included with your new Kreg Jig. Using the same measurements, adjust the height of the jig to the appropriate position. To do this, loosen the thumbscrew on the back so that you can raise or lower guide hole piece freely. Once the jig is where you want it, tighten the thumbscrew to secure it.  Raising and lowering the jig will change the angle of the guide holes slightly to make them suitable for boards of varying widths. Remember to reset the guide hole piece every time you drill a board of a different size. Clamp the jig down so that it will remain firmly in place. This will prevent the wood from coming loose while you’re drilling. Make sure the guide holes of the jig are facing toward you on the workbench. You’ll be drilling into the back side of the board, which won’t be visible once the piece is completed.

Before you begin laying the blocks, visualize all the corners of your frame. Section off the corners with wooden stakes. Use a cord or string to tie off exactly where the corners’ edges will be. Attach a cord or string to the wooden stake used to mark the corners. The string should create a circumference around your work space. Lay out your blocks along the dried footing and see how many you'll need for the first layer. Don't seal these down.  Use a 5x8 to separate the blocks to account for the mortar.  Use corner blocks on the corners if available. After testing, remove the blocks and prepare for the real event. Take the bag of dried concrete and measure out one dosage.  Look on the bag's specifications for the brand you choose. Prepare a container to mix the dried mortar with water.  Use a five gallon bucket that you don't mind damaging. Never mix more mortar than you can use.

Before you begin wet sanding, be sure you remove any debris or film from the area you will be working on.  Use a regular automotive soap and a sponge to wash it, then rinse it thoroughly with a hose.  Do not use an automotive soap that is also a polish or a wax. You will not need to wait for the area to dry to move on. Do not simply use your hands when wet sanding.  The gaps between your fingers will create an uneven sanding surface, resulting in an inconsistent finish.  Instead, wrap the sandpaper around a pad, handle or sandpaper squeegee based on your preference.  Depending on the area you are wet sanding, there are flat, curved, and bendable handles you can choose from. Read the instructions on the tool you opt to purchase to see how to secure the paper to it. You can buy sanding tools at most hardware and auto parts stores. With the sandpaper thoroughly soaked, begin sanding the area with small circular motions and a light amount of pressure.  If your sanding does not seem to be affecting the clear coat, apply a little more pressure so it will.  Do not press hard enough to create scratches in the paint itself.  It may take a little practice to determine just how much pressure you need to apply to the sandpaper. Ease off of the sandpaper if it appears to be penetrating beyond the clear coat or damaging the paint. Switch the direction of your circular motions from time to time or approach the area from a different angle.  This will ensure you sand the entire surface evenly.  Uneven sanding can be difficult to identify while you work, but may be apparent in the final product. Be careful not to increase pressure when changing angles or directions. The color in the paint should bleed into the water and tint it slightly.  If the water gets any darker, you are sanding too hard. Do not allow the sandpaper to become dry while wet sanding.  Keep the area heavily saturated with soapy water throughout the process by dipping the sandpaper in the bucket often and even pouring some of the soapy water on the vehicle. ...

Before you begin, consider using plants that tolerate clay soil, as this eliminates the need to amend the soil. Switchgrass, asters, Russian sage, and hostas are all good options. On the other hand, many plants will struggle to thrive in clay soil, regardless of how effectively you amend it. For example, choosing plants that like very dry or excessively acidic soil can be an uphill battle. . The first step in amending your soil is to diagnose your soil's pH. There are several ways to do this, ranging from DIY strip tests to commercial testing kits. If you're a serious grower, consider visiting your local county extension and get a soil testing kit straight from the source.  Find your local county extension office and get a soil testing kit. Directions for use it are included in the package.  Mail directly to your state laboratory. It may take a little longer than normal to get the results back in the spring because of the volume of requests. Your results will provide a detailed analysis of your soil composition, the pH, and which amendments you may need to add to bring your soil up to optimum growing conditions. pH is a scale of how acidic or alkaline a material is. The scale goes from 0 to 14, with 0 being very acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being very basic. Amending your soil to become more acidic, for example, won't do anything if your water is very alkaline and you're planning on using it to water your plants. Don't get lazy — test the pH of your water as well as your soil. Most water is slightly alkaline, which may or may not be good depending on what you are trying to grow.  If your water is basic, it is "hard" water. Hard water is generally what groundwater ends up being, mainly because it doesn't erode the pipes that contain it and transport it around. Acidic water is "soft." Soft water is achieved by removing calcium and magnesium from the water. If you want to stay on the safe side, get pure, filtered water.

Before you begin, you will need to determine the period of time your financial report will cover. Most financial reports are prepared quarterly and annually, although some companies also prepare them on a monthly basis.  To determine the period of time your financial report should cover, review the governing documents of your organization, such as the bylaws, corporate charter or articles of incorporation. These documents may describe how often the financial report should be prepared. Ask an executive at your organization how frequently reports are expected to be prepared. If you are the executive of your own organization, consider when the financial report would be most useful to you and select that as your financial report date. Next, you'll need to make sure everything in your ledgers is up to date and properly recorded. Your financial report will not be useful to readers unless the underlying accounting data is correct.  For example, make sure all accounts payable and receivable have been processed, verify that the bank reconciliation is complete, and ascertain whether all inventory purchases and product sales have been recorded. You'll also need to consider any liabilities that may be unrecorded as of the financial report date. For example, has the company received any services that have not been invoiced? Are employees owed wages that have not yet been paid? These items represent accrued liabilities and must be recorded in the financial statements. If your review of the ledgers reveals any missing information, track down any pertinent documents you'll need to ensure that your financial report is complete and correct.

Before you begin, you’ll want a solid idea of what you want your instrument to look like. You can draw inspiration from a classic model like a Fender Telecaster or a Gibson SG,  or make your own unique design. Once you’ve settled on a design, draw the body, full scale, on paper, and cut it out.  The guitar body shape can be rounded, like a Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Stratocaster, or angled, like a Gibson Explorer or Flying V. You can also choose a unique shape for your guitar, such as a square or circle. Some guitarists prefer a single cutaway to access the higher frets, some like a double cutaway, or you might choose not to have a cutaway at all. Many electric guitar bodies are made of swamp ash, alder, mahogany, or maple. Common woods for guitar necks include maple and mahogany. Rosewood or maple are standard choices for fingerboards.  Some of these woods are rare or protected, and hard to come by. You can experiment making an electric guitar with any kind of wood you would like, however. There is room for variation in terms of the thickness of an electric guitar body. Select a wood size based on the thickness of an existing guitar, or on what feels comfortable to you. Each kind of wood has its own tonal quality that makes a unique sound. Woods that are dense and heavy, like walnut or mahogany, have a tone that's thicker and more base-heavy. On the other hand, lighter woods, like basswood or alder, have a tinny, brighter sound. There’s a lot of variety in terms of the looks and capabilities of the parts you’ll need for your guitar. You can choose based on the kind that existing guitars you like use, or experiment with something new. You can easily buy the equipment you’ll need from most guitar shops or online. For an electric guitar, you’ll need:  One or more pickups (single coil or humbuckers) A bridge Tuning pegs A nut Volume and tone controls and knobs A pickup selector switch An input for a ¼ inch cable A pickguard (optional) Strap pegs (optional, but recommended) A truss rod (optional, but...

Before you can actually create a study schedule for finals week, you need to decide what exactly you’ll use for scheduling. You might prefer paper calendars or planners, or you might want to use a digital app, such as the calendar on your phone or an actual study app. It doesn’t matter which type you prefer, as long as you have something that you are comfortable using. Before you even begin crafting a schedule, make sure you have all of your exam dates in front of you. This will make creating your schedule a lot easier because you won’t have to stop and search for information or, even worse, have to start over because you forgot about an exam.  Some schools schedule all finals during a finals week. In this case, the time for your final might not be on the same day or at the same time as when your class normally meets. Make sure you note if that’s true. Some teachers might schedule your final during regular class time, even if your school has a devoted finals week. Make sure you have that information, too. If you have breaks between when you start drawing up your study schedule and finals week, you can use them to devote more time to studying since you won't have to attend class. Depending on how long your classes usually are per day, consider adding extra study sessions for those courses during their regularly scheduled meeting times. This gives you some extra time to study without really disrupting your normal schedule. How much time you have to study for finals will depend on when in the semester you start drawing up your schedule. Once you’re ready to set your study schedule, calculate how many days you have between now and when your exams are. This will obviously be a different number for every exam. Keep in mind that you might not be able to study every single day. If you have a lot scheduled on a specific day, leave that day off your study schedule. This will give you a more realistic idea of what you have to work with. Once you know how much time you have to study for each exam, prioritize them. List...

Before you can begin to work on your new habit, it is worthwhile to consider your goal. Figure out exactly what you hope to accomplish. Make sure that your goal is specific, measurable, action oriented, realistic, and time bound (SMART) to increase your chances of success. Consider what you want to achieve and get as detailed as you can. Here are some questions to help.  Specific means that the goal is targeted rather than broad and/or vague. What exactly do you want to achieve and why? Measurable means that the goal can be quantified (measured with numbers). What numbers are associated with your goal? How can it be measured using numbers? Action Oriented means that the goal is something that you can actively work towards and control. What specific activities are required for you to meet your goal? How often must you perform these activities? Realistic means that the goal is something you can actually achieve with the resources available to you. Is your goal something that you have the power and resources to achieve? Why or why not? Time Bound means that the goal has a beginning and ending or a deadline that you will hold yourself to. When will you start working towards the goal? When do you need to accomplish the goal by? What will happen if you succeed? What will happen if you fail?

Before you can create your design, you need to know what you’re designing. Pick a quote or word that you love, or start with initials.  When you’re just getting started, it’s a good idea to stick with something short and uncomplicated. Longer quotes allow you to try out more font styles, but they’re also harder to manage and can be time consuming. Use your ruler to create lines on a piece of plain copy paper or in your sketchbook. Practice drawing different angled lines, swirls, swoops, curves, shapes, and letters. Try to space them as evenly as possible. When you feel like your practice drawings are getting consistent, move onto sketching. A theme is optional, but it can help you create a better design. Use your quote to decide on a good theme.  For example, if your quote is inspirational, then you might go with a theme of inspiration. Your design might include shooting stars and bold colors. If your quote is about beauty, then you might choose fonts and embellishments that reflect beauty, such as swooping cursive letters and bright colors. You can choose an existing font style or one of your own creation. For longer quotes, you may even use multiple font styles, depending on how you envision your design. When you’re first starting out, you may want to recreate the fonts of your favorite hand lettering artists. Create a sketch of your word, phrase, or initials using your selected theme and font style(s). Add in any embellishments that you want to include in the final piece. Try sketching out a few design alternatives, then choose the one you like best.

Before you can effectively teach Singapore Math, you need to understand not only how it works, but the philosophy behind its development.  Singapore Math probably isn’t like the math education you grew up with, so it may take a little getting used to.  The general philosophy of Singapore Math is best explained using its framework, which has 5 components: Concepts, Skills, Processes, Attitudes, and Metacognition.  These 5 components are key to the development of mathematical problem solving abilities.   Concepts refers to numerical, algebraic, geometrical, statistical, probabilistic, and analytical concepts.  Skills refers to numerical calculation, algebraic manipulation, spatial visualization, data analysis, measurement, use of mathematical tools, and estimation.  Processes refers to reasoning, communication and connections, thinking skills and heuristics, and application and modelling.  Attitudes refers to beliefs, interest, appreciation, confidence, and perseverance.  Metacognition refers to monitoring of one’s own thinking and self-regulation of learning. Students need to learn each of these mathematical concepts — numerical, algebraic, geometrical, statistical, probabilistic, and analytical — as individual ideas, but more importantly, they need to learn how they are connected together.  Students need to be given a selection of materials and examples in order to grasp these concepts and understand how they are all connected.  They also need to be able to apply these concepts in active mathematical problem solving in order to be more confident with their mathematical skills. Students need to learn a variety of mathematical skills, including: numerical calculation, algebraic manipulation, spatial visualization, data analysis, measurement, the use of math tools, and estimation.  They need these skills in order to learn and use the mathematical concepts they’re being taught.  They key to Singapore Math, however, is not to over-emphasize the “how” and under-emphasize the “why.”  It is vital that students...

Before you can even start writing your letter, you need to decide what stationery to use. Notebook paper is always a safe option, but it’s not the only one. If you recently went on a trip with your family, use a postcard from that location. Or if you have special stationary that you really love, use that instead. To do this, write your note on a 6” by 6” piece of paper (or any square-shaped paper). Fold the paper twice over so your paper is divided into four equal quadrants. Fold the top point down to meet the crease in the center. Fold the bottom point up so it touches the top point. Fold your right side to meet the crease in the center and then do the same with the left side. Flip the heart over and fold the top points down. If you’re passing your note in an envelope, feel free to gussy up the envelope as well. You can add stickers or use stencils to write your crush’s name out. If you want to be funny, try cutting out your crush’s name using letters from a magazine and taping them to the envelope so it looks like a ransom note.  Keep in mind that he might not like stickers as much as you do. Less is usually more when it comes to decorating your note, unless you want the note to look over-the-top on purpose. If the note is serious in tone, it's probably best to keep it simple: just write his name in plain letters on the envelope. To make your envelope a little more colorful and fun, try painting it. To do this, all you will need is your envelope, some paint and a brush. Try painting wavy lines in different colored stripes.  When painting, make sure to keep your brush flat and drag it across the surface. Let the envelope dry before you put your letter inside.

Before you can figure out which behaviors to address, consider your own boundaries. You want to have a firm understanding of what you are and are not okay with in your relationship.  You should never feel bad about asserting your boundaries. If a behavior makes you uncomfortable or unhappy, you have every right to address it. Do not worry about your boyfriend's feelings when considering where you draw the line. Think about what behaviors bother you. You may not mind your boyfriend expressing appreciation for your body in private; however, intimate touching in public may seem embarrassing. Try to have a list of boundaries in your head. In the future, you will know when to speak up. You do not want to let any resentment simmer in a relationship. You should also feel comfortably routinely speaking up for your rights and boundaries. The second your boyfriend crosses a line, let him know.  For example, say you do not like it when your boyfriend makes demeaning comments about your butt. Even in private, you do not like to be talked about in an overly sexual way. If you are hanging with your boyfriend and he makes such a comment, do not get angry, but don't stay silent. Immediately address the issue. Say something like, "I don't like it when you talk about me like that." Being assertive does not have to mean being aggressive. You do not want to start an argument with your boyfriend. When you are addressing problem behaviors, be clear and direct about your feelings without being aggressive.  There is no need to raise your voice or snap at your boyfriend. You can simply state your issue in a calm, clear voice. Avoid argumentative or angry language. Be polite, but also firm. For example, say you dislike it when your boyfriend grabs your butt in public. If this occurs, say something like, "I really don't like it when you do that. I feel uncomfortable." Many people feel responsible for the feelings of those around them, or that being nice means avoiding confrontation at all costs. This is not the case. If your boyfriend...

Before you can find someone who will meet your needs, you need to get to know yourself really well. Take some time to do a personal inventory of your core values and figure out what your emotional needs are. Write them down so that you can consult your list as you search for your future partner. Some good questions to consider include:  What is most important to you? Family? Career? A hobby? Your friends? Honesty? Loyalty? Or something else? List your values and then rank them in order of their importance. What do you want from a partner? Understanding? A sense of humor? Kindness? Strength? Encouragement? List the things that you want your future partner to provide in order of importance to you. Before you go out looking for someone who you would like to fall in love with you, think about what you really want in a partner. Make a list of all of the qualities that you would like your future partner to possess before you embark on your love quest. What traits do you want your future partner to have? Do you want someone who likes to read? Enjoys cooking? Is close to his/her family? Has a sense of humor? Treats you like a queen/king? People are more likely to fall in love with people who share their interests, so consider looking for someone at a club that you belong to or through some other group that you participate in. While you may be attracted to someone physically, it may not be a love match if you have nothing in common with the person.  For example, if you volunteer at the local hospital, try getting to know your fellow volunteers. If you love to work out, try talking to people who frequent your local gym. You might also consider an online dating site. These sites can match you with people who share your interests, which may make it easier for you to connect with the person on your first date.

Before you can go off and try to find work, you need to figure out what type of clowning is best for your personality. This can determine how you alter your routine and what kind of clients you will work with. For example, you will do different tricks depending on whether you're working with hospital patients, children, or adults. You can do multiple kinds of clowning, of course, but you should always keep your audience in mind before you perform. Here are some places where you can work:  Children's parties Adult parties Children's hospitals Circuses Clown school used to be more popular, such as the Barnum and Bailey's clown school that was a big hit until the mid-90s, but you can still find some classes to take if you want to improve as a clown. Barnum and Baileys, for example, still offers a one-year clown school if you make the cut, though it does not have a permanent location. If you don't have time for clown school or if there aren't any clown schools in your area, you can still go to clown conventions to learn some tricks and moves from the great masters. The Clowns of America International web site, for example, advertises a clown camp in Orlando in 2014. Going to conventions is a great way to meet other clowns and to improve your skills. The CAI website also offers information about Clown Alleys, or places where you can find and learn from groups of other clowns. You can contact these clowns and ask if they wouldn't mind having a student. The best way to learn, really, is to find a clown mentor that is right for you. Remember that, just because a clown is great doesn't mean that he or she is interested in the same kind of clowning that tickles your fancy. If you want to make this a business, try to get some advertisements up around your local area. Contact your local newspaper and local venues to see if you can pay to put up posters and adverts. To really make it as a clown, you'll have to understand marketing and advertising techniques, especially on a local basis, to improve your chances of booking...

Before you can start a summer camp, you will need to gauge interest in the camp for both parents and other children in the neighborhood. Depending on the age and number of attendees, there should be at least one adult to supervise during each day of the camp. There should be one adult available to supervise for every ten 6- to 8-year-old attendees. You don’t want anyone to feel excluded, but if all camp attendees are relatively close to the same age, they’re much more likely to have fun over the camp session. It’s also preferable that all of the attendees already know each other from school, as family friends, etc. Once you have gauged interest in the camp, you can use that information to decide on a length for the camp. Say nine kids want to join, and five parents are each willing to host for one day. You can easily set up a five-day long camp session with one parent handling supervision duties each day. If all of the campers are into the same new superhero movie or if they’re all friends who share a similar interest, consider picking a theme for the camp. This can help inspire ideas for activities, decorations, art projects, and lots of other camp-related items. Just because you have parents willing to host certain days of the camp, that doesn’t mean they’ll want it at their homes. Find out if each parent would prefer to create activities around their house or take the children on a field trip for their assigned days. You can also use this time to gather activity ideas from all the parents to make a list of potential camp festivities. With a theme and some great locations in mind, you’re ready to create a full list of potential activities for campers. Try to think of creative ways to incorporate your camp’s theme into the camp. Make sure you also pick activities appropriate to the age of the campers.  For a sports camp, consider minor league sporting events in your town; availability of baseball, softball, or basketball courts at local parks; drills related to practicing skills; sports trivia games; local...

Before you can start drawing, drawing materials are the things you need to have. Coloring materials you can use in cartooning can be crayons, color pencils, watercolors, and many more. The first thing to do in cartooning is to make the draft illustration of the character using a pencil, preferably an HB pencil. The draft consists of the main shapes of the cartoon character’s body and clothes, the position, the expression, and the hair. A drawing pen is the preferred pen to use in papers since it provides you a variety of choices of width. Moreover, drawing pens are easy to use and produces cleaner drawing.  You can use any medium you like and you can color it the way you want.

Before you can succeed at selling soap, you must become an expert at making it, and refine the technique and formulae you want to use. There are two main methods for making soap, the hot process and the cold process.  The cold process of making soap is the most common method. It involves mixing an alkali (usually lye) with fats or oils. Once mixed and formed into shape, it can take weeks for the soap to cure. The hot process of making soap requires you to cook the soap. This method requires no cure time, and can make it easier to add scents and colors. However, it is more difficult to work with and mold hot process soap. If you are new to soap making, consider taking a class in your area. Check with local crafts organizations, stores, and soap makers to see what opportunities are available. Basic soap making only requires a few ingredients, but a wide variety of types of soap can be make by tweaking the formula. If you want to create a product that stands out, experiment with ingredients like scents, colors, and moisturizers until you create a soap that you think is unique and high-quality. Soap making requires a few dedicated tools, and a space to work in (whether just your kitchen, or a full shop). As your soap making operation grows, you might purchase additional equipment, but to start out you will at least need:  A blender A microwave Molds A mixing kettle Labelers Wrappers You’ll want to set yourself apart from the competition, and create a product that consumers really want. Think about who you want to buy your soaps, and what kind of niche your products will fill. For example, you might create soaps that are entirely free of any animal by-products for those consumers who care about animal rights, or soaps that are made using only all-natural ingredients for consumers who care about “green” and healthy living. Think about:  Creating a unique and memorable company name  Using specially designed shapes Embossing the soap with letters or other forms Wrapping the soap in special papers or ribbons Creating...

Before you can train your dog to bark when he wants to go outside, you will need to teach him to bark on command or "speak." This is a relatively easy trick to teach your dog, although you may want to avoid if your dog already barks a lot.  To start, get your dog excited by waving a favorite toy around, making a noise, or doing anything else to get him to bark. When he barks, reward him with a treat. Try to only reward a single bark, as you do not want to encourage him to keep barking. Once you are able to get your dog to bark consistently with this method, add a hand signal or verbal command and use it consistently until the dog learns to bark when this command is given. Continue to practice and reinforce the behavior by giving your dog a treat when he speaks on command. Do not reward the dog for barking unless you specifically ask him to do it. Once your dog is able to speak on command, you can move on to teaching him to bark as a signal to go outside. Start by going to the door and asking your dog to speak. When he does, immediately let him out. As with the other training methods, if going outside is not enough of a reward for your dog, reward him with a treat as you let him out. The more consistent you are with this training, the faster your dog will learn. Have him bark each and every time you go outside, and before long, he will learn that he can ask you to go outside by repeating that behavior.

Before you choose the subject at the top of your hierarchy map, you should write down a list of important subjects related to your project or assignment. If you know that your project should be about trees, for example, then that word would go at the top of your concept map. But if you just know that you have to write or think about objects in nature, or materials made from nature, then your task is a bit harder. First, write out all of the concepts related to your general subject:  Trees Oxygen Wood Humans Plants Animals Houses Paper Once you've brainstormed a list of concepts related to your project, you can choose the concept that is most essential to all of the others -- the one from which all of the others stem. This may be obvious, or it may require a little thought. Remember, if it's a hierarchical map, then the central word should be the one that connects all of the others. In this case, the word is "Trees".  This word will appear in a box or oval at the top of your map. Note that in some cases, you can skip the first step. If you already know that you have to write a paper or give a presentation on "Trees," for example, you can write that word at the top of the hierarchical map right away. Once you've found your keys word, draw arrows extending downward to the left and right that connect the word to the next two or three most important words. These next words should be able to connect to the other words you've brainstormed, which will appear below them. In this case, the hierarchical term is "Trees," and it will be linked to the two next most important terms, "Oxygen" and "Wood". Now that you've found your key word and the next most important words, you can write the words that relate to the second key words below these. These terms will become more specific, and should relate back to the words above them, "Oxygen" and "Wood," as well as the most central word, "Trees." Here are the terms that you'll list below these more central terms:  Humans Plants Animals Houses Paper Furniture Add lines to...

Before you compose a snare, it's important to know that this mechanism does more than just trap a rabbit. If you are trying to trap a rabbit to relocate it, do not use a snare. A snare is essentially a noose mechanism that will kill a rabbit if it gets trapped and should only be used for hunting. Different states also have different laws about snares, so make sure you check your state's guidelines on hunting with snares. Before you set a snare, you'll want to find a location that will give you the most success. A snare is best used in a more wilderness setting, like a forest where rabbits are frequent and the signs are easily identified. You can identify rabbits by their droppings (small, round, dry pellets), burrows, or tracks. To make a rabbit snare you will need wire (copper strands, picture hanging wire, or craft wire), wood or two sticks, and a tree that is bent. These materials will be used to create the noose, two part trigger, leader line, and engine, all of which are part of a Trigger Spring Snare. This specific type of snare is more advanced, so you may want to try a simple snare first.  The noose is the part of the snare that will actually trap the animal. The two part trigger consists of a hook and a base. The base is a piece of wood, stuck in the ground that connects to the hook, which is what the noose is tied to. The leader line is a cord that is connected to the engine and the hook. The engine is usually a tree, like a bent over sapling or an extended branch, that provides tension to the hook and holds the snared animal. Essentially, the snare starts from the tree, which is bent over, and at the bent over part of the tree the leader line is connected, hanging down until it connects to the hook, which is a piece of wood that stands straight up and connects to the base, which is also straight up, but stuck in the ground. The noose then connects to the end of the hook. The length of the cord to create your noose needs to be about 18-24 inches long. First, begin by taking the end of your wire and...

Before you consider purchasing a saddle, you need to make a firm decision on the specific type of riding you hope to do. There are 2 general categories of riding: English and western. English saddles come in traditional English, hunter, dressage, and jumper varieties. Western saddle options include traditional western, endurance, barrel racing, and roping styles. If you are working with a trainer, ask them for a recommendation! They can provide you with a better idea of what type of saddle you should choose and how much it should cost. The chair-like area of the saddle that you sit in is known as the ‘seat’. Seats come in a variety of sizes for the multiple body-types riders have. To measure your seat, sit in a chair with your back against the chair back and your feet on the floor. Use a soft measuring tape and measure the distance from your kneecap to the crease in your hip.  Your seat length should vary somewhere between 13 to 19 inches (33.0 to 48.3 cm)  for an adult. You can visit an online seat converter and enter in your physical attributes (weight, height, etc.) to get an immediate measurement instead of measuring yourself. Use your seat measurement to determine the seat size (and therefore the saddle size) of an English saddle. The measurement/size approximately equates as:  A leg/seat measurement of 16.5 inches (41.9 cm) or less equals a 15 in (38 cm) saddle. A leg/seat measurement of 16.5 to 18.5 inches (41.9 to 47.0 cm) equals a 16 in (41 cm) saddle. A leg/seat measurement of 18.5 to 20 inches (47.0 to 50.8 cm) equals a 16.5 in (42 cm) saddle. A leg/seat measurement of 20 to 21.5 inches (50.8 to 54.6 cm) equals a 17 in (43 cm) saddle. A leg/seat measurement of 21.5 to 23 inches (54.6 to 58.4 cm) equals a 17.5 in (44 cm) saddle. A leg/seat measurement larger than 23 inches (58.4 cm) will fit an 18 to 19 in (46 to 48 cm) saddle. The measurement of seat is a bit different for western saddles than it is for English saddles. The easiest conversion is to subtract two inches from the size of your English...

Before you decide to ask your girlfriend's parents for their daughter's hand in marriage, consider what you know about them and if this is something that they will expect or even appreciate. This is an old tradition that some parents might see as essential, while others might not expect at all.  If you are unsure about whether or not your girlfriend's parents will appreciate this gesture, then try asking your girlfriend what she thinks. You could say something like, "Are your parents pretty traditional when it comes to marriage?" or "How did your parents get engaged?" Conduct research into your her parents’ values if necessary.  For instance, if your girlfriend’s parents are from India, you might need to investigate Indian marriage traditions to figure out whether or not asking a girl’s parents for her hand in marriage is a standard part of the marriage process.  Use internet search engines and your local library to discover more about the specific cultural norms of your girlfriend’s parents. Ask your girlfriend if she’d like to get married.  This is different than proposing to your girlfriend.  Inquire generally what she imagines in your shared future.  Ask, for instance, “Where do you see us in three to five years?”  If she brings up marriage, you can safely proceed with the process of asking for her hand from her parents. If she does not immediately mention marriage, ask her specifically if she’d ever like to get married to you.  For instance, you might ask, “Do you think we would be happy if we were married?”  If she says yes, go forward with the process of asking her parents for her hand in marriage.  If she is uninterested in marriage or unsure if she wants to marry you, don’t pressure her into it. Is now a good time for you two to get married?  Are there any reasons you shouldn't?  Think about it through your girlfriend's parents' eyes: would they want their daughter marrying you?  If you have only known one another for a week, you may want to hold off on proposing marriage.  It is wise to date someone...

Before you design a ring for your love, take some time to find out what they desire in a ring. You can take them window-shopping for engagement rings, try several rings on, or browse ring designs on the Internet.  Ask a trusted friend or family member for help if you want to keep the proposal under wraps. Take note of whether your fiancé prefers simple or more ornate designs, what type of metal they prefer, and whether they are drawn to a particular cut, style, or type of gemstone. Look at what kind of jewelry your (soon-to-be) fiancé wears. What color of metal is the jewelry – silver, rose, or gold? Choose a setting that reflects your love’s preferences.  If your fiancé-to-be wears a lot of silver jewelry, choose a metal like white gold, platinum, or sterling silver. If your fiancé-to-be loves gold jewelry, choose yellow gold or rose gold. You can create a custom engagement ring with a variety of gemstones, ranging from multi-carat diamonds to tiny opals. Choose a gemstone that is a cut and style that is reflective of your soon-to-be fiancé’s style.

Before you get back into the dating scene, spend some time on self-understanding. Get to know yourself on a deeper level: think about your goals in life and what's important to you. Explore your strengths and weaknesses as a human being. Knowing yourself better will help you define what you're seeking in a relationship.  Falling in love might cause you to forget yourself. Re-discover who you are apart from your friend and learn to love yourself.  Use the old relationship as a guide to figure out what qualities you like about yourself, and where you would like to grow. Getting out and learning something new will give you something else to think about besides your friend. You'll also be able to learn new skills and regain some self-confidence. Join a cooking class, volunteer at a local shelter, buy an instrument to learn, or try out an activity you've always wanted to do.  Pick a hobby that requires a lot of time and concentration. You can then use it to escape your mind for a while and focus on something productive. Now is the time to revisit an activity you used to do but for whatever reason let go. Doing something you love again will help you reconnect with your inner self. Having a crush on your best friend can cause you to neglect other friendships. As you develop meaningful relationships with other friends, you'll gain emotional support outside of your best friend. Invite a friend over to chat, see a movie with them, or even send them a text to let them know you care. Don't distract yourself constantly with friends. Spending time alone is important, too. If you need some space from others for a while, let yourself have that time. Once you're ready to fall in love again, re-enter the dating scene. You don't have to fall into a serious relationship right away: date a few different people for a while and have fun just getting to know them.  Meet new people. Join a club, volunteer somewhere new, chat with a classmate or co-worker, or visit your local bar.  Recognize the qualities that you liked in your friend...

Before you get on stage, just picture yourself knocking it out of the park. Imagine a standing ovation, picture the smiles on the audience members' faces, and hear the sound of your cast mates or director telling you what an amazing job you did. The more you focus on visualizing the best possible outcome instead of worrying over the worst-case scenario, the more likely it is to happen. Picture yourself being amazing on stage from the audience's point of view.  Start early. Start visualizing success from the second you're cast in the role. Get into the habit of imagining what a great job you'll do. As you get closer to the starting date, you can work harder on visualizing success by picturing what a great job you'll do every night before you go to bed and every morning when you wake up. Do this until you memorize it. Remember the words of the person who speaks before you, so you recognize the cue for you to speak. Practice in front of family, friends, and stuffed animals and even in front of empty chairs, so that you are used to performing in front of people.  Part of the fear of performing comes from thinking that you'll forget your lines and won't know what to do. The best way to prepare against forgetting your lines is to be as familiar with them as possible. Practicing in front of others helps you get used to the fact that you won't be reciting your lines alone. Sure, you may know them perfectly when you're alone in your room, but it'll be a whole new ball game when you're facing an audience. If you really want to overcome stage fright, work on truly inhabiting the actions, thoughts, and worries of your character. The more in tune you are with the character you're portraying, the more likely you'll be to forget your own worries. Imagine that you really are that person instead of a nervous actor trying to portray that person. Gain confidence in yourself by reciting your lines in front of a mirror. You can even tape your own performance to see how amazing you are, and to look out for areas of improvement. If...

Before you get started do whatever you need to do to help yourself relax and clear your head. You might try some stretches or light exercise, breathing techniques, meditate for a few minutes, or just queue up a playlist of music that helps you study. During this time you might also go over in your head what your intentions are for this study session. If your friends are hassling you about hanging out, it will be hard to stick to your study plans.  Set firm boundaries with your pals about when and for how long you’ll be studying, and don’t let up.  For instance, you might say, “Sorry, guys, but I really have to study my French words tonight. I won’t be able to talk or hang out. I will make time for you on tomorrow. If they try to persuade you to skip out on studying, say, “Studying is my top priority right now. I hope you understand.” If your phone has a “do not disturb” mode, set it during your study time. This helps you stay motivated in your studies by silencing any non-emergency calls and select notifications. If your phone doesn’t need to be on to take important calls, turn it off. The less distractions you have, the better. If your dorm room or bedroom doesn’t lend to effective study habits due to distractions, it may be a good idea to move to a new environment. Being in the right environment means you’ll have less distractions and will be more motivated to stick to your study regimen. Try a local library or coffee shop. Bring along headphones and tune into a classical music station to sound out others around you.

Before you go in for the kill, you need to make sure to pick a lady who will be receptive to your player ways. If you choose the wrong girl, you may either end up with someone who is just not interested, or who wants to get wifed up ASAP. Here's how to find the right girl:  Look for a girl who is laughing, obviously having fun, and looking to have a good time. Don't talk to anyone who is obviously bored, checking her phone, or just looking around for something better to do. A girl like that is a soft target for a reason, and you want someone who is worth impressing. Avoid ladies who are looking for a husband. Many of the ladies you approach will be looking for more than a fling. Any girl who mentions having you meet her parents, wanting to settle down, or talks about how many times she's been a bridesmaid probably doesn't want to be your tenth favorite girl. Let this lady find her soul mate, and don't waste your time--or hers. Avoid girls who are obviously taken. If you spot a hottie who is barely interested in some guy who is trying to make a move on her, then go for it. But if a lady is batting eyes at her boyfriend or suitor, unless you're really up for the challenge, find someone who is still fun but not so clearly off-limits. Approach a group of ladies, and have fun chatting them up and showing you're a great guy to be around. But after a while, home in on the lady of your choosing, and find a way to isolate her and make her feel unique. Here's how:  Have a light opening. Start off by teasing her or just asking what she'd like to drink. Make her laugh and show that you're a person worth talking to. Tell her that she's special. Say something like, "There's something different about you." Make her feel like she really stands out, and that you understand that there is something extra unique about her. Compliment her. Don't overdo it, but tell her at least three things you like about her, whether it's her eyes, her dance moves, or her laugh. You don't have to say anything deep--just let her know that you...

Before you go out in them, try walking up stairs, standing around (cooking dinner, playing with kids, etc.), sitting down, and even running. This is the most trusted method for easily and lightly breaking in your new shoes. If you have nice leather or dress shoes — shoes that you would be frustrated to see scuffed, altered, or even discolored — this method is the safest to try. When you try out new shoes before you've bought them, you rarely walk away with sore feet, right? That's because you haven't donned your shoes for long enough to cause any pain (or alter the frame of the shoe to fit your foot). So, when breaking shoes in at home, wear early, wear often, and don't feel like you need to put your shoes on for hours at a time to notice a difference. In fact, start with wearing your shoes 10 minutes at a time in the beginning. Try this for a couple days. Gradually, wear your shoes for 10 minutes more, every couple of days, until you're wearing the shoes for an hour at a time. By this time, the shoes should be tamed! Wear some old shoes to work, but when you're sitting at your desk, bust out your new ones and simply get in the habit of having them on your feet. This is a simple way to break in your new shoes while saving time. This way, you can tell if you need socks when you wear them. This can also prevent blistering when getting used to new shoes. Wear your shoes with socks that are a little bigger than you normally would use. Try thick cotton socks, and squeeze into the shoes. Don't do any heavy walking, or you'll give yourself blisters. Just keep your feet in the shoe. The size of the sock will help stretch out the frame.

Before you go out, make sure that you know how you will get home.  Though a stranger may seem friendly and nice, appearances can be deceiving.  You should not shy away from making new friends, but you should also exert caution when entering into potentially dangerous situations with new people, including entering a car with them alone. Never ride in a car when a drunk person is driving. Don't be afraid to draw attention to yourself - it may save you from harm.  Also, should your attacker try to get you to go with them to another location, you should refuse.  If they get you into a car with them and out of a public place, it is less likely that you will have a favorable outcome.  Make as much noise as possible, fight, and call the police if possible.  Do anything to get away from them. This holds true especially when an attacker is unarmed. Good places to aim for are the temple and the groin. It is unnecessary to make the moves fancy, so just remember that self defense is not pretty. Do whatever is practical and effective in keeping you safe. One of the most effective ways to fight back is to use a palm heel strike. Your palm heel is the hard bone between your palm and your wrist. You can find it by pressing your palm hard on a flat surface: the area that turns white is the palm heel. Execute the palm heel strike by keeping your fingers back and thrusting your palm heel forward. Our psyche tends to tune us into issues even if there is no discernible danger in front of us.  If you feel not at ease in a situation or at a certain place, leave that situation immediately or find a few friends to be with.  It is better to be overly cautious and for nothing to happen than for danger to occur that you could have prevented.

Before you go out, stand in front of the mirror and take a wide stance with your hands on your hips. Think Superman or Wonder Woman. Studies show that assuming what's known as a "power stance" can improve your confidence. These changes in posture can give you a mental "boost."  Try the "victory" pose. Put your arms in a "V" over your head.  Stretch out in your seat or cross your legs and put your hands behind your head.  Hold these poses for about 2 minutes before going out to the bars (or doing anything stressful). This isn't to say that you can only attract a guy if you look good. Rather, this is about making yourself feel good. If you feel good, you'll have more confidence. Try dressing in clothes that you want to see yourself in. If you've always wanted to wear a suit, go out in a suit. The point is to wear something you associate with power and confidence. You're not trying to impress every guy at the bar, you're trying to find the guy that impresses you. Focus your attention on looking for the guys you want to approach. Gaining confidence will take time; don't expect it to happen overnight. But, the more you stick with it, the more likely it is that you'll become a confident person. Feeling confident is only part of the battle. You have to act with confidence as well. It's a common opinion that people find confidence attractive.

Before you go to a nail salon, do some online research to check out the salon. See if the salon has a website, if they have been reviewed on consumer websites, and if there are any negative reviews. You can assess any comments about the salon to see if anyone discusses how clean it is or if anyone has gotten infections from the salon in the past. Before you pick the nail salon that you want to use, you can ask some questions of the staff and owner. This will help you make sure the salon follows safe practices and cleanliness standards as a general rule. When you choose a salon, call the salon and ask:  Does your salon follow the safety standards? Do you use liquid disinfection or steam sterilization for your equipment? How do you cut calluses? Are the nail technicians required to wear gloves? Are there any nail technicians with advanced training? In most states, nail technicians need to be certified and trained. You can ask the salon where their technicians were trained and certified to ensure that they will be able to adequately provide you clean service. You can search the online listings of individual state requirements to make sure you know what is required of the nail workers in your state. Nail salon workers work on many different people every single day. Because of the large amount of people, the workers come into contact with infected skin and blood, which puts them and the salon at risk for a number of infections. These infections include:  Viral infections, such as hepatitis, HIV/AIDs Bacterial infections, such as  Staph, strep, and MRSA Fungal infections, such as tinea

Before you handle food, you should always wash your hands with antibacterial soap and water for 20 seconds. Dry your hands well with a clean, dry towel. If you handle raw meat, wash your hands after handling the meat to avoid cross contamination of other foods or surfaces. Wash raw fruits and vegetables before you eat them. Even organic foods need to be washed.Use an antibacterial cleaner on surfaces that come into contact with raw food to kill potentially hazardous bacteria. Use a different cutting board for each type of food. Use different cutting boards for fruits and veggies and raw meats to avoid cross-contamination. Follow the directions when you prepare raw foods to make sure that you cook them properly. Use a meat thermometer to make sure that you cook meat to the right temperature.

Before you hit the road, get out your tape measure. Does the trailer make your rig considerably taller? By how much? How much length is added to the back of your car or truck? These will be important considerations any time you're trying to park somewhere you normally wouldn't give a second thought to squeezing into. If it's your first time towing a trailer, it's best to practice some in a big empty parking lot before taking it out on the road. You want to be as familiar as possible with the vehicle's response time and turning radius. You must always compensate for the extra weight, especially when slowing down, and especially when driving on inclines. Play it safe and be cautious. You also need to pay especially close attention to the added length of your rig anytime you're:   Changing lanes Merging Exiting the interstate Parking Stopping for gas Pulling over Towing a significant amount of weight will negatively affect your fuel economy, so keep a close eye on the gauge. Making frequent pull-offs in crowded gas stations can be stressful for first-time towers, so try to anticipate your fuel needs ahead of time to avoid difficult maneuvers. Even if you checked and doubled checked your connections and everything is up to code, there's always the possibility that something in the road will jostle the trailer lose a bit. It's best to stop sometimes, especially on long or especially bumpy trips, to make sure everything's still hooked up. Seeing your trailer careen off the road isn't the time to double-check. It'll probably happen eventually that you'll mis-time a turn, or lack sufficient space to clear a turn like you figured you would. Don't panic. Make sure there isn't traffic behind you and back up slowly and as straight as possible to give yourself the clearance you need. Get a passenger to hop out and watch the trailer from a different angle to give you steering tips, and use your mirrors judiciously.

Before you leave for your trip, make sure you are able to lock-up your luggage securely. Invest in some baggage locks that allow you to secure the zippers on your luggage or backpack, and buy a padlock so you can lock away your possessions in a locker if you are staying in a hostel or a dormitory setting. A thief will be less likely to go after a backpack or a piece of luggage that is secured with a lock. If you are planning on carrying a backpack during the daytime, consider investing in an anti-theft backpack. These backpacks come equipped with tricky locks and zipper clips, making it difficult for a pickpocket to quickly and easily unzip your backpack. Anti-theft backpacks are often reinforced with a wire or plastic mesh within the material, making it difficult for someone to slash open the bottom with a pocket knife. Many brands, such as PacSafe and Travelon, sell anti-theft backpacks. These backpacks can cost between $60 and $250 and can be purchased online or at sporting goods stores and recreational shops. If you are traveling overnight on a train or a bus, secure your backpack with a waterproof bag or sack. The sack will not only protect your bag from water or moisture, but it will also cover up all the pockets, zippers, and straps, making it more difficult to access the items inside. Waterproof bags and sacks can be purchased online or at a local sporting goods store or a recreational shop. They can cost between $10 to $100, depending on the brand and size. In crowded and popular areas, like the Roman Coliseum or the Parthenon in Athens, pickpockets may be wandering around hoping to snatch something from an unsuspecting tourist in the crowd. If you are visiting a crowded landmark, are on a packed bus, or are standing on a busy metro station platform, make sure your belongings are safe and secure. Be alert and aware of what is going on around you at all times.  Keep your backpack or purse in front of you when in a crowd. If it is left on your back or is dangling from your arm, someone can swiftly grab...

Before you make a trip all the way to Cape Cod or Australia, make sure the beaches you hope to visit are open and shark-free. Typically, areas that experience a rise in shark sightings or attacks will close beaches nearby. If beaches are closed, avoid them. Check in with the board of tourism in the state with the beaches you hope to visit to find out about shark incidents and beach closings. Sharks are crepuscular hunters, which means that they get hungry at dawn and at dusk. If you're in the water just as the sun comes up, or right as it goes down, that's shark time. It's best to avoid waters that you suspect might be busy with hungry sharks early in the morning and just before dark. When you're out swimming, keep yourself focused on the shark at all times, whether you're just paddling around or underwater scuba diving. Stay calm and focused, and avoid making sudden jerks or movements, which will attract the shark in to your struggle.  If you're between the shark and open water, clear a space by moving out of the way. Most sharks don't want anything to do with you. Your best option, when you spot a shark, is to slowly start making your way toward the boat or the shore, whichever is closer. Make long, smooth strokes and keep your eyes on the shark. If you can, look for some cover. Backing up against a rock ledge, coral reef, or some other outcropping with take away certain angles of attack. Keep yourself in a defensive position. A good quality stainless steel knife comes in handy if you're facing the prospect of a shark attack, but most of us don't carry around Bowie knives on our wetsuits. If not, you'll have to improvise. You can attempt to gouge out the shark's eyes, or punch it in the nose repeatedly. Something heavy can also help you stun the shark, if you use it in the right spots. Good improvised weapons might include:  A shoe A rock Cameras Goggles or masks Other scuba gear Though they make look scary, sharks have just as many vulnerabilities as any human.
