This option looks like a speaker icon on the System Preferences menu. It will open your computer's audio settings. This button is located next to Sound Effects and Output at the top of the Sound window. You'll see a list of all the audio input devices connected to your computer here. Find the microphone you're using, and click on its name. This will boost the selected microphone's audio input to a higher level of volume. You can now speak to your microphone, and check the Input level indicator here in order to see if your microphone's input is boosted.

Q: All babies are different, and not all like to go to sleep the same way, but most like to be gently rocked. Try holding the baby in your arms and slowly swinging the baby back and forth, or holding the baby securely while walking around with a bouncy step, or rocking in a rocking chair. If the baby won't go to sleep, gently lift the baby up and lay the baby in its crib. Never leave a baby in its crib on its back with its bottle in its hands because the baby could choke. After the baby is asleep, sit in the baby's room with it and wait to make sure the baby will stay asleep, and that the baby's sleep environment is safe -- Make sure there is nothing that the baby could play within the crib. It could distract the baby and it won't want to go to sleep. Also, soft toys should never be in a crib, because a baby could suffocate. Keep big, fluffy blankets or pillows out of the crib. Babies don't really need them and they are actually dangerous. Keep bed covers away from baby's face. Do not lie a baby on its tummy, ever, even if the parent tells you too. Always place it on its back. Placing it on its tummy is very dangerous, and potentially fatal. (If the baby is old enough to flip itself over on its tummy by itself, though, it's okay if he flips himself over). Keep checking on the baby as it sleeps. This is very important as it is your babysitting duty to make sure that the baby is safe, is not fussing, is not too hot or cold and does not have a dirty diaper. Baby monitoring is fine if the parents are fine with it, if they don't have a baby monitor, or grant you permission to use them, check on them every 15 minutes.
A: Rock the baby gently. Check on the baby.

Q: This works best on timed tests. Teachers will just think that you are checking the time.
A: Buy a pocket watch that has a lid. Tape a piece of paper with your notes onto the watch. Pretend to check the time.

Q: A frozen variety of your hamster's favorite treat is a great way to cool him down on a hot day. Be careful to stick to treats that are safe for your hamster. Consider freezing: Barley Cashews Flaxseeds Millet Oats Peanuts Pumpkin seeds Sesame seeds Cooked potato Fill a water bottle (or an empty soda bottle) about halfway with water. Wait until it freezes solid. Then, wrap it in a towel or cloth and place it in your hamster's cage. Make sure you wrap the bottle. The frozen bottle can hurt your hamster's skin. A good tip is to freeze the bottle on its side. That way, when you place it in the cage, the hamster has more to lay against. You can also use a frozen ice pack. Hamsters like to bathe in bath sand. You can treat your hamster to a cool bath by freezing his bath sand. Try taking a cup of sand and placing it in a zip-lock bag. Put the bag in the freezer for a few hours, remove the sand from the bag, and place it in the hamster's cage. If you have a ceramic house in your hamster's cage, you can freeze it for a few hours to create a cold habitat. Ceramic holds temperature well and can provide a cool haven for an overheated hamster. Alternatively, you can use a frozen ceramic tile or marble square in his cage. Dampen a towel and freeze it for a few hours. Drape it around the outside of the hamster's cage, wrapping it around the bottom of the cage. This will create a cold barrier that your hamster can lay against. Make sure you do not block the airflow from your hamster's cage with the towel.
A:
Give frozen treats. Provide a frozen water bottle. Freeze bath sand. Freeze his ceramic housing. Drape a frozen towel over or around the cage.
