Article: In nearly all citation styles, the reference entry begins with the last name of the author. If there are multiple authors, include them all in your reference entry in the order they appear on the title page of a book, or byline of an article. The most common format for author's names is to place the last name first, followed by a comma, then the first name. Typically you will close this portion of the reference entry with a period. For example: Hawking, Stephen. For some citation styles, such as APA style, only include the author's first initial in your reference entry, rather than their full first name. For example: Hawking, S. W. For most citation styles, the title of the source is the next part of the reference entry. However, for APA, place the year the source was published in parentheses after the name of the author. Put a period after the closing parentheses mark. For example: Hawking, S. W. (1998). For some sources, such as magazines and newspapers, you need a more specific date. Type the year first, followed by a comma. Then type the month and day the article was published. For example: Hawking, S. W. (2005, July). The way a source title is formatted depends on the citation style you're using as well as the type of media the source is. Titles for shorter sources, such as magazine and journal articles, are typically placed in quotes. Book titles are usually italicized. The title is typically followed by a period. If the title appears in quotes, the period comes before the closing quotation marks. Journal article example: Hawking, Stephen. "Information Loss in Black Holes." Physical Review, July 2005. Most citation styles require titles in title-case, meaning that all nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adverbs are capitalized. For example: Hawking, Stephen. A Brief History of Time. APA style uses sentence-case for titles, capitalizing only the first word and any proper pronouns. For example: Hawking, S. W. (1998). A brief history of time. Publication information may include the name of the publisher, the place where the source was published, and (except for APA citations) the year the source was published. The format for this information varies among the styles of citation. APA example: Hawking, S. W. (1998). A brief history of time. New York: Bantam. For print sources, most styles call for the city and state where the source was published (or city and country, for sources published outside the U.S.) to be listed first. The location is typically followed by a colon, after which the name of the publisher is listed. For example: Hawking, Stephen. A Brief History of Time. New York: Bantam, 1998. For most citation styles, the year the source was published follows the name of the publisher. Typically only the year is needed, although for periodical publications, such as newspapers or magazines, you may need a more specific date. The year of publication typically is the copyright year. However, for online sources, look for a date the specific article was published rather than using the copyright year of the website as a whole. The final element of a reference entry is a direct URL or permalink where the article or document can be found, if it was a source that you accessed online. Most styles also require a date of access, since online content can easily be edited, updated, moved, or deleted. Many scholarly articles are available through online databases. If you accessed an article through one of these databases, you'll typically provide the article's unique digital object identification (DOI) number, rather than a URL. For some citation styles, you must also include the name of the database in your reference entry.

Article: Full-service gas stations or truck stops are the most common locations that have air compressors. You can use the same pump motorists use to inflate the tires on their vehicles. Inspect your air tank for damage before filling it, and get a new one if you see any cracks or rust. You may also be able to get your tank filled at scuba shops, paintball locations, and some sporting goods stores. You can use your own air compressor. You can purchase one at a home improvement store. Set the tank on the ground, then pull the compressor hose down to the metal valve on top of the tank. It is next to the pressure gauge and usually made of brass, so it is hard to miss. Fit the hose's nozzle over the spout on the back end of the fitting. Attach the air hose directly to the spout. It should fit right over it with no space between them. Avoid placing the compressor hose where the tank's air hose attaches on the opposite end of the fitting. Operate the air compressor by following the directions on the pump. Normally, you will need to press a button to activate the compressor. The hose will usually have a trigger you need to pull to begin pumping air. The amount of time needed to fill the tank depends on the tank's size. Set aside about 20 minutes in order to fill the the tank completely. Keep the tank's valve closed. The air will still flow into it. Make sure you have a clear view of the pressure gauge. As the tank fills, the gauge's needle will begin to move. Stop adding air when the needle reaches the labeled red zone on the gauge. Overfilling the tank is dangerous, so never fill it beyond the recommended limit. Once you are done pumping air, slide the hose off the brass fitting. All you have to do now is place the hose back in its holster and take your tank home! The tank will be heavier now, so be careful when moving it!

Take your air tank to an air compressor. Attach the air hose to the tank's fitting. Activate the air compressor to pump air into the tank. Fill the tank until the pressure is between 85 and 125 psi. Detach the air hose when the tank is filled.
Article: Heat is the main culprit of dry, frizzy hair, and hairdryers can wreak havoc on your beautiful curls. Fortunately, because your hair is so short, it should not take very long for your curls to air-dry. If your hair is soaking wet, pat it dry with a microfiber towel or an old T-shirt. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel, since this can create frizz. If you must blow dry your hair, use a diffuser to prevent voluminous frizz. Avoid detangling your hair with a regular hair brush or fine-toothed comb since they can create frizz. Instead, work a wide-toothed comb through your hair. Start by combing out the ends and gradually work your way to the roots to prevent additional tangles. In a pinch, you can also detangle your hair by running your fingers through your curls. How much styling mousse you use depends on how short your hair is. Start with a dime-sized amount, then add more as needed. Work the mousse into your hair evenly from root to tip. You can also experiment with curling gels, creams, and setting lotions. You can deep-condition your curls with keratin-based treatments or masks. Apply the conditioner to your hair, give it time to penetrate the hair shaft, then rinse it out according to the instructions on the label. Hydration helps your curls look silky and defined. You can buy keratin-based treatments in salons and beauty supply stores.

Let your hair air-dry, if possible, to prevent frizz. Detangle damp hair with a wide-toothed comb. Apply styling mousse while your hair is damp to define your curls. Deep-condition your hair every 1-2 weeks to combat dryness and frizz.
