Q: Before you start organizing, you should check what items you already have and what condition they are in. It's likely you still have pens, markers, highlighters, and folders from your previous school year. You may even have extra loose leaf paper that you can reuse for the coming year. You should also take this time to clean your backpack. You can either vacuum it out or simply turn it upside down over a trash can and shake it. Make sure you also check the condition of your backpack. If you have any rips or tears, or if your backpack is small, you may want to buy a new one. For example, sort textbooks, binders, notebooks, writing utensils, miscellaneous items, and trash into different piles. Then go through the piles and throw out what you don't need. You can get rid of any used notebook paper, stubs of pencils, empty pens, broken pencils, broken hairbands, or any other useless items you find. This is also a good time to start a list of the items you have and of those that you still need. This will make shopping easier later, as you won't have to try and remember what to buy. If you have binders or folders, try organizing them with tabs and dividers. You can sort them by subject, chapter, or function. For example, label each folder with the new year's classes, like Science, Social Studies, or English. You can also put all your pens, pencils, and highlighters into a pen case or bag. This way, you aren't buying new items you don't need.
A: Empty out your entire backpack. Sort your items into different piles and go through them. Organize what's left.

Q: Antiquing is a process by which you put a dark 'antique' stain over the top of cabinets that are painted or stained a few shades lighter. That means that the base color for the cabinets can be anything you like, be it painted white or stained oak. You can antique over your current cabinet color if you so desire, but many people like to go for a totally transformed cabinet look by adding a new base color as well. Examine your space and consider your overall decor to determine what the base color of your cabinets should be. Generally, it is best to stay away from very dark base colors, as the antiquing effect won't show up as well on them. Cabinets painted white or stained with a light, natural wood stain are very popular for their 'shabby chic' appearance when antiqued. The antique stain is the dark stain that will be painted over the top (and then wiped off of) the base color on the cabinets. While any matte stain will work, it is recommended that you select a stain advertised for its antiquing qualities. This is because antique stains are made to be the right opacity, luster, and color to convey an authentic antique appearance. For white and cream cabinets, choose a mid-tone antique stain. For honey/caramel tone cabinets, chose a medium to dark stain (depending on the desired contrast). For dark cabinets in a chocolate or coffee hue, you'll want to choose the darkest antique stain available. Antique stains cost about the same as regular wood stain, so you're not losing out financially by going with this option. The higher the contrast between the antique stain and the base color, the more worn and vintage the cabinets will appear when finished. There are pros and cons to both leaving your cabinets in place for painting, and to removing the doors and reinstalling them post-painting. If you choose to leave them in place, you save yourself a bit of prep work. However, you may end up spending more time taping off hinges and trim as well as painting. By removing the doors, you are granted full access to every aspect of the cabinet that needs painting. However, removing the doors and replacing them when you're finished antiquing takes a lot of time and effort. If you choose to remove your doors, label them on a piece of painters tape so that you know where they are supposed to go back in place. Know that you'll have to tape off the walls, floor and/or ceiling regardless of which option you choose. There aren't a ton of supplies necessary for antiquing cabinets, but you best make sure you have all of them at the ready before starting your project. You will need: Base color paint/stain (optional) Antiquing stain 1-2 Paintbrushes (size dependent on project - 3-inches wide is typically good) 100-grit sandpaper Sanding block or electric sander (optional) Painters tape Dry, clean cloth (choose a smooth fabric) Rubber gloves Finishing glaze/sealant (optional)
A: Decide on a base color for your cabinets. Choose your antique stain. Decide if you will remove your cabinet doors or leave them in place for the painting process. Get all of your supplies ready.

Q: It is a good idea to give some basic information about the product or service. However, it can take up a lot of space if you list every detail about it. Stick to the basics of what it is and how your customer can use it. For example, instead of listing every specification of your new car, give the basics: miles per gallon, price, lease rates, etc. Be even more specific than you would for a basic brochure advertising your company. For example, if you sell cars, target families for your new minivan. You can't write ad copy that makes your product appeal to everyone in the world, so limit it to those who would might opt for your product or service. It is tempting to list a lot of technical details or use jargon, but you want your reader to be able to quickly get the message. Use short sentences and stay away from big words. Tell the reader what it is, why it stands out from the competition, and get him or her hooked with creative copy. Imagery is not only necessary for you to explain what a product is or how it works, but can help sell it. Nice photos showing satisfied customers reinforce the positive things you are saying about it. However, you can include too many photos, which may distract the reader from the information you provide. Try overlaying text on simple, sparse photos. This way, you can add a photo without having to sacrifice necessary text. While you shouldn't get too detailed with your product or service, there may be important stipulations you want to mention up front. For example, advertising 0.0%APR on a bank loan sounds nice, but if it is only valid the first year of service, that should be mentioned.
A: Talk about how your product will help the customer. Write for a very specific audience or demographic. Keep it simple. Include illustrations to help explain. List any terms and conditions.

Q: Go to https://www.youtube.com in your computer's web browser. This is where you'll find the background music or sound for your presentation. If the computer on which you're presenting doesn't allow you to access YouTube videos, you'll need to download your preferred video and upload the video to Google Drive. You can then skip to the next part. It's at the top of the page. Type in the name of the video you want to use, then press Enter. For example, you might search for "free music for one hour" for a copyright-free music loop. Scroll through the video results, then click the video you want to use. This will open the video and prompt it to begin playing. It's best to pick music that has a simple lo-fi loop rather than a traditional song or orchestral piece. This will ensure that your music is easier to synchronize across your presentation. Once the video opens, highlight the address at the top of the window, then press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Mac) to copy the address.
