If you're only using a bit, put the rest back in the container and fill it with tap water to prevent the tofu from drying out in the fridge.

It is suitable to house smaller and younger garter snakes in smaller enclosures, while larger garter snakes require larger housing. Garter snakes are very active, so the enclosure needs to be big enough for them to move about. Ensure that the plastic tub or aquarium has a lid that is tight fitting. This is because garter snakes are known for being escape artists. A screen lid that snaps onto the enclosure is best. If the lid has any areas of mesh or grille, check that the snake won't be able to climb through past its eyes, as this means that it will be able to fit all the way through the gap. An enclosure for 2 garter snakes should be approximately 55USgal (210L). The material that covers the floor of the enclosure is called the substrate. This needs to be kept dry and wet substrate needs to be removed in order to keep the garter snake healthy. Ideal substrate choices for garter snakes are newspaper, paper towels, aspen shavings, alfalfa meal, and reptile bark. Substrates that are unsafe for garter snakes include cedar, pine, or juniper tree bark chips, sand, clay cat litter, gravel, and dirt. Only use newspapers and/or paper towels for baby garter snakes. Garter snakes like to burrow into the substrate, so you can always add a little more. Snakes require at least 1 dark space to hide in within their enclosure. You can use plastic bowls, cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, or specialty snake hide boxes that can be purchased from pet stores or online. Cage furniture such as fake or real plants, wood, rocks, and decorations can also be good additions to the enclosure as the snake will enjoy exploring the objects. Aim to have the opening to the hide box just slightly bigger than the width of the snake. It needs to be large enough for the snake to fit in, yet small enough so that the snake can feel enclosed and safe. Garter snakes are cold-blooded animals which means that they need their enclosure to be 7585F (2429C) in order to survive. Place a heating pad below 1 side of the enclosure and install a reflector or incandescent bulb above it. Use a thermometer to monitor that the warm part of the enclosure doesn't rise above 86F (30C) and that the cool part doesn't drop below 72F (22C). This creates a temperature gradient which means that the temperature changes depending on the location inside the enclosure. The heating pad can be one specifically for reptiles or it can be a regular electric blanket that is set to the lowest temperature. It's important to create a temperature gradient inside the enclosure. This allows the garter snake to move to a warmer area such as the heating pad if needed. It also lets the snake cool down in the cooler part of the enclosure. This is why the heating pad only warms part of the enclosure. A stick-on thermometer is an ideal way to get a good estimate of the temperature inside the enclosure. Temperatures that are above 91F (33C) can be dangerous for garter snakes. If the snake is moving quickly around the enclosure with its mouth open, this means that it is overheating. Immerse the snake in cool, running water and adjust the enclosure temperature to the appropriate range.

When you become aware of the prejudice in your self-talk, you can take action to change these thoughts before they lead to discriminatory behavior against others. Ask yourself what evidence is there for or against a bias. For example, you see a blond and immediately think she may not be very intelligent. What evidence is there for this? None. What evidence is there against it? None. It is virtually impossible to assess other's intelligence since intelligence involves many factors beyond textbook knowledge, and it certainly isn't gleaned with a mere glance. Therefore, you are making an unfair assessment of this person with little evidence to go on. When we are faced with the unknown, our minds may automatically retreat to the worst-case scenario. Elect to override this way of thinking by asking yourself whether it allows you to meet your objectives. When we are not thinking in a goal-oriented way, we are being negative. But, you can change this. For instance, you are walking at night and pass an African American young man. You hurry your footsteps and pat your pants to check for your wallet. Unconsciously, you think "danger" or "bad". You can challenge this prejudice with goal-oriented thinking in addition to the reality testing. After asking what evidence you have to think this way, you could also ask yourself how thinking this way is helping you meet your objective of stopping prejudice. It's not. Thinking this way is causing you to unfairly judge others, allowing you to play into media-driven stereotypes, and keeping you from connecting with those different from you. As you continue in your own change process, you must also actively challenge prejudice expressed by those around you. When an acquaintance, friend, or family member forms a pre-judgment about an individual for any reason - race, ethnic group, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, etc. - confront them. You can use reality testing to challenge others' views as well. You might ask: What evidence do you have to support or deny such a statement? Are you jumping to conclusions about this person? How can you actually find out if this statement is true rather than making an assumption?

Aluminum polish is an effective way to remove oxidation from aluminum wheels, which aren't well protected from this kind of damage. Use a clean rag to rub aluminum polish onto the wheel, working in the direction of the grain. Work in small sections so that the polish doesn't dry before you work it in. Avoid rubbing in circles as it will lead to a streaky finish. An example aluminum polish is Wolfgang Metallwerk Fine Aluminum Polish, but any polish designed for bare aluminum should do the trick. You can find these kinds of polishes online, at a superstore, or at a mechanics shop. Remember, you want to rub polish over small sections at a time to avoid the polish drying before you rub it in. Move deliberately around the wheel, section by section, and keep track of what you have already polished so you don't end up with an uneven finish. Rub along the grain of the wheel as you go. Polish the lug nuts once you have finished the surface of the wheel. Place a soft cloth around the toothbrush so the bristles don't mar the finish. Use the toothbrush to reach into the spoke areas and rub on polish where you could not reach on your initial sweep. This will also be useful for polishing around the lug nuts. Rub with the grain to dry off the wheel and remove the polish, working around the wheel deliberately like before. Always use new towels at each step in the process so you're not rubbing polish or dirt back in when wiping the wheels clean.
