Q: Since you're working in a cube, be conscious that others can hear any sounds coming from your area and they deserve their own cube sanctuary too. Before you add anything that makes sound, check with your neighbors and the boss to ensure you have the "go ahead" to proceed. Here are some additions that might work for you: Small fountain. Home decor stores sell small water fountains that can be placed on a shelf, providing the restful sounds of running water. Fountains range in size, with the smallest being able to fit in the palm of your hand, making it very unobtrusive. Sounds of the ocean or other natural sounds. Numerous New Age or nature sounds CDs can be purchased to conjure up the sounds of the ocean, running water, birdsong or children at play. You could play the CD during stressful times during the day or while you are taking your break and need to relax. Bring along headphones if playing the sounds on low still irritates your neighboring coworkers. Small rotating fan. Talkative neighbors or loud noises around your cube? Don't let exterior noises add stress to your dayconsider adding a rotating fan that provides white noise and a little extra air. However, if you plan to include a fan, point it toward the wall of your cube so it doesn't blow papers across the room.
A: Add peaceful sounds.

Q: If you're using a laptop, the USB ports are located on the sides of the unit. On a desktop Mac, the ports are typically on the rear of the monitor. The drive will automatically mount to the computer, and once it does, you'll see a new icon on the desktop that looks like a small white hard drive. Double-click the new USB drive icon on your desktop. The contents of the drive will appear in a new window. You can copy files directly to the root (main folder), or to any other folder that appears in the right panel. The amount of storage space available on the USB drive also appears at the bottom of this window. You can also access the USB drive by launching Finder, then selecting the USB drive from the "Devices" area on the left side of the screen. It may be helpful (though not mandatory) to create a new folder on the USB drive for the files you'll be copying. Having folders with appropriate names for the types of files they contain can help you stay organized. With the USB drive window open, press Shift+ Command+N to create a new folder. Type a name for the folder, then press Return. Open Finder, then navigate to the folder that contains the files you want to copy to the USB drive. To copy a file without erasing it from the computer, drag it to the open USB drive folder. If you created a new folder to which you'd like to copy files, drag the files right to that folder. To select more than one file at a time, hold the Control key as you click the names of each file to be copied, then drag the highlighted area to the new location. Remember to "eject" your USB drive before removing it from the USB port of the computer. This practice helps prevent data corruption. Go to the desktop and drag the USB drive icon to the Trash (the trash icon turns to an "eject" icon as you drag). After that, you can safely remove the USB drive.
A: Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port. View the files on your USB drive. Create a new folder for your copied files. Locate the files you'd like to copy from your computer. Drag your file(s) to the USB drive. Eject the USB drive.

Q: Any time you work with mold or mildew, you want to make sure you are not breathing in any spores. Before you begin, place a mask over your nose and mouth. If you are prone to watery eyes, you may also want to wear a pair of protective glasses. If you have asthma or any type of respiratory issues, do not attempt mold clean-up yourself. Mold can aggravate breathing conditions quickly, and could even prove fatal. Locate any visible sources of mold in your book and gently wipe them away using cloth dampened with alcohol or peroxide. Although alcohol may not remove all of the staining caused by mold or mildew, it will kill the spores and should eliminate the bulk of the smell. If your books contain a lot of mold or mildew, you may need to take them to a professional for cleaning. Make sure you dry your books after you have finished cleaning them. You can use an air dry method, or you can dry them with a hair dryer. The method you choose will depend on the speed you require and the age of the books. Newer books will not be drastically degraded by being dried with a hair dryer, while old pages may be damaged by high heat. To prevent additional mold growth, make sure you store your books in a dry area. If your books are old or particularly prone to damage, you may want to store them permanently in airtight containers, such as large tupperware bins.
A: Use protective breathing tools. Wipe away any visible mold growth. Dry your books immediately. Store in a dry area.

Q: Applying relaxer will be painful if your scalp is already irritated in any way. For this reason, it's best to not wash your hair or scratch your head at all for at least the week leading up to application. If you do accidentally scratch your scalp, the relaxer will likely make your head tingle. You'll be working with dangerous chemicals that can harm your skin and possibly damage your clothes. Get a hairdresser's cape and plastic gloves and put them on before handling the relaxer to prevent any harm or damage. Keep a towel or two on standby in case you have any spills. The chemicals you're dealing with may stain clothing, furniture, and other things they touch, so it's best to clean any spills up immediately. Because relaxer can irritate your skin, it's a great idea to apply a base cream directly to the scalp to protect it. Part your hair in multiple places and apply the base to your scalp. Don't forget to apply the base to your hairline and around your ears as well. Petroleum jelly is also a sufficient protective base option. Use a comb to divide your hair evenly into 4-6 different sections. Secure the sections with plastic hair clips or rubber bands. Avoid any hair ties or clips that have metal.
A:
Don't shampoo or scratch your scalp before relaxing your hair. Put on gloves and a cape. Get out a couple of towels in case of spills. Apply a protective base cream to the scalp and hairline. Divide your hair into 4-6 sections.
