Any round object will work. You can use a round glass, the bottom of a candle, or a circular piece of paper. Just make sure the rounded edge is smooth. Take the round part of the object and place it flat on the paper where you want to draw your circle. Use the hand you don't draw with to hold it in place so it doesn't move when you're tracing it. Take a pencil and follow along the round edge of the object until you've completed the circle. When you're finished, take the object off the piece of paper and you'll have a perfect circle! If there are any gaps in the circle after you move the round object, fill them in with the pencil.

Summary: Find something round that you can trace. Hold the round object on a piece of paper. Trace around the edge of the object.

You will need this in order to accurately measure and track your urine output. You can purchase a urination-measuring cup from your local pharmacy. Most pharmacies and drug stores carry urinals for men to measure their urine output, as well. Measuring cups for urination measure the volume of your urine in cubic centimeters (1 ml = 1 cc). Each time you use the restroom, record the time of day, how much you urinated, and your fluid intake and type. For your fluid intake, measure how many ounces you drink between trips to the bathroom. Keep a record for at least three days where a day equals a 24-hour period. The days do not need to be consecutive; however, pick days that will be easy for you to record. By measuring out your liquids before consuming them, you can accurately calculate your fluid intake. Use measuring cups to measure your fluid intake. For example, write: 10 a.m., 3 cc, 8 oz of tea. You can also record your urgency level on a scale of 1 to 3 where 1 is mild, 2 is moderate, and 3 is severe. Urination frequency during the day should be tracked separately from urination frequency during the night.You will also need to calculate the volume of your fluid intake. Do this for each 24-hour period. Taken together, compare these results to the urination frequency of an average adult. These results will help you or your doctor determine if your urination frequency and volume is normal. For example, urinating eight to nine times while consuming 2,000 ml of fluid during a 24-hour period is considered normal. Applications like Pee Tracker and iP Voiding Diary can help you track your urination frequency and volume, as well as fluid intake. Applications are helpful alternatives if you do not want to manually fill out a diary or chart. However, you will still need to purchase a measuring cup to measure the volume of your urine.

Summary: Purchase a measuring cup. Keep a fluid diary. Tabulate your number of trips to the bathroom. Download an app.

Pour a small amount of chlorine bleach onto a clean rag and dab it into the linoleum in an inconspicuous area. Bleach has a lightening effect if not used on an already light surface, so if the linoleum looks discolored or markedly lighter, do not use bleach to clean the stain. Bleach should only be used as a last resort. Some advise never to use bleach on linoleum, while others report success in removing hair dye stains. This is why spot testing bleach is essential; if it discolors the surface of the linoleum, it should not be used since it can cause even more damage. Wear gloves when using bleach. If the bleach is safe to use on your linoleum surface, apply the bleach to a cotton ball, then rub at the dye stain, taking care to not rub outside the stained area. As you are cleaning, you may find it helpful to rub the area clean with water to get a better idea of your progress before blotting again with bleach. Once you have finished removing the stain, damped a clean rag with water and rub the area you were cleaning to get rid of any excess bleach or other cleaners.

Summary: Spot test the bleach. Dab at the stain with bleach. Wipe away excess bleach.

For instance, in San Antonio, Texas, you might photograph the River Walk, the Alamo, and Texas Hill Country landscapes, because those are pictures that magazines might look for to fill up pages. Every piece of the photo is part of what you're trying to convey, so make sure each part says what you want it to say. For instance, if you're trying to show beauty in the midst of drudgery, a flower in a dirty old tire works well. However, if you're trying to catch a pristine photo of your nephew, you might want the dirty tire out of the frame. Taking photographs from interesting angles and distances can change how the viewer sees the subject. For instance, if you take an aerial shot of your yard from your roof, you might see patterns you didn't know were there. Always be safe when taking photographs. Call in extra help if you are climbing ladders. Alternatively, try taking a shot of something by getting up close and personal. Having the subject take up the whole frame can make the shot more interesting. That is, be on the same level as your subject. If you're photographing a child or a pet, get on your knees to get the best shot. Just like setting is a part of a story, light is an important aspect of any photo. Natural lighting can illuminate photos with a glow that surrounds subjects. However, even if you're in dark conditions, try using lamps and other light sources to create interesting shadows with your subject, such as lighting the subject from the side. If you're taking photos of people, making them laugh will create joyous expressions. When processing your photos, experiment with different filters to make the photo more interesting. However, always be sure to save a copy of the original, so that you can go back to it if you want, especially if a magazine is more interested in a plainer style. Take a little time everyday to go shoot. Walk around your neighborhood, go to the park, or visit a local bar. Always be on the lookout for interesting shots. Remember to ask permission before taking shots in businesses or of people you don't know. That is, don't stop to fiddle with your camera or to look at every shot. Just keep taking photos from different angles so you stay in the moment.
Summary: Focus on the most interesting landscapes and landmarks in your area. Pay attention to the small things. Choose a different perspective. Look your subject in the eye. Make light part of the subject. Make them laugh. Try filters. Practice your shooting. Keep shooting.
