Q: Is it going to be in a place that is relatively similar to places on earth? You don't need to figure out everything about the entire world, but you do need to figure out where you want your story to occur. For example, maybe you want the major action of your story to occur in a world where most people live in caves because outside of caves there are a ton of dangerous slime pits that you could fall into. Like slime pits! Animes often have parts of their world that are slightly magical or strange in some way. Maybe pianos talk and give people lots of advice. Maybe there are flying beasts that people use to get from place to place. It doesn't have to be something incredibly fantastical or something out of a science fiction novel just pick something that works with your world and your story. For example, the magic of the world could be a simple folk tale that may or may not be true. Maybe on the slime pit world, there is a story that if you fall into a slime pit and survive you'll be granted special powers but no one knows if this is true or not. Are the residents of your world living in apartment complexes or in wooden huts? Are they hunting for their food, or can they go out to dinner are restaurants? Obviously, there are a ton of other possibilities in between and beyond these examples. The technological status of your world will inform a lot of the ways that your characters interact with the problems that face them. For example if someone falls into a slime pit in a technologically advanced world, maybe it's no big deal because everyone wears anti-slime suits.
A: Figure out where you want your story to be set, is it going to be on an alien planet? Find interesting things about your world. Decide the technological advancement of this world.

Q: For many people, the toughest part of staying at home is not being allowed to see their friends and family. Fortunately, you don't have to ignore everyone until the shelter-in-place is over. Instead, talk to them via text or call. If you can, video chat with at least one person every day. You can video chat using FaceTime, Skype, or Facebook messenger. Daily exercise will help you stay healthy and can boost your mood. Choose an exercise that's fun and easy for you to do at home. Here are some ways to exercise in your home if you decide not to go outside: Do a video workout online. You can find several free options, especially on YouTube. Perform calisthenics, such as squats, lunges, and jumping jacks. Do yoga. Use your space for dancing or pacing to music. Climb up and down the stairs if you have them. If you're stuck inside, why not binge on your favorite shows? Watch a few titles you've been wanting to see or re-watch all of your favorites. If you have people living with you, make it a party. Netflix is offering a service called "Netflix Party" that allows you to watch a show along with friends or family members who are in other homes. You probably have some free time since you can't go anywhere, so use that time to do something you enjoy. Dedicate a few hours every day to your hobbies, and you could have something awesome to show for it at the end of the shelter-in-place. Here are some ideas: Make art. Write a story. Take photos of nature, still lifes, your pets, or your lifestyle. Knit. Organize a collection. Do puzzles. Build something. Write code. Make a short film. Read.

Look for classes that are connected to your hobbies and interests. Some classes come with a certification that you can include on your resume, though you may need to pay for it.
A: Connect with friends and family via phone or video chat. Exercise for 30 minutes every day. Catch up on movies and TV that you enjoy. Spend time working on a hobby you can do at home. Take an online class.

Q: Combine peppermint, rosemary, thyme, and clove oils in a bowl or cup, using 4-5 drops of each one. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle with water in it before shaking it all together. Spray the water and oil mixture onto plants that aphids have been eating. Designate 1 spray bottle as your essential oil sprayer. The oils tend to perfume and permeate the plastic, making them less than ideal for other uses going forward. Do this by chopping up 3-4 cloves of garlic before mixing them with 2 teaspoons (9.9ml) of mineral oil. Leave the mixture alone for 24 hours before straining out the garlic chunks. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle with 16 ounces (450g) of regular water and 1 teaspoon (4.9ml) of dish soap before spraying the garlic concoction onto the plants. You can also make a tomato leaf spray to use on the plants. By mixing neem oil with a little bit of water, you'll create an organic concoction that helps repel aphids. Pour the water and neem oil into a spray bottle and apply it to sections of the plant that are affected by aphids. Find neem oil at a home and garden store, some big box stores, or online. Note that neem oil will perfume any sprayers for a long time. It's best to designate a particular bottle for this use. You can also use horticultural oil to spray onto the plants. These soaps can be bought from a gardening supplier or online. Read the instructions to find out how much of the soap to mix with water before spraying it on the plants to help fend off aphids. These soaps are designed to kill the aphids. Insecticidal soaps are less toxic to mammals (humans and pets) than chemical insecticides. That said, follow the manufacturer's directions about any safety precautions or gear you should wear when using them.
A: Mix together essential oils to use on the plants. Create a homemade garlic spray to use on the aphids. Spray neem oil onto plants affected by aphids. Enlist an insecticidal soap to help control aphids.

Q: Your local community should have a designated public shelter. Go to the shelter if your home is unsafe or the authorities have called for an evacuation. To find the shelter closest to you, text SHELTER + your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA). For example, if your zip code is 56789, you would text SHELTER 56789. Landslides may recur in the same location. Avoid this area and seek shelter. You should not enter the area where the landslide occurred. However, if you can see people who are trapped or injured in the area, notify the authorities immediately. Infants, the disabled, and the elderly may experience extra difficulty in emergency situations. If it is safe to do so, help your neighbors with special needs. Remember that neighbors with large families may require additional assistance as well. Report any damaged utility lines, roadways, and railways to the authorities. If you are in a building, examine its foundation, chimney and surrounding land to determine if the structure is stable. If the area appears unsafe, leave immediately. Landslides often destroy vegetation. Without vegetation, the area is more susceptible to erosion and flash flooding, which can lead to another landslide. Replanting the affected area helps prevent future landslides. If your property was damaged in the landslide, consider talking to a geotechnical expert to reduce landslide risk. The expert can evaluate your property and determine what modifications, if any, should be made to ensure your safety.
A:
Go to a public shelter. Avoid the area where the landslide occurred. Check for trapped and injured people. Help neighbors who need special assistance. Assess the area for damage and safety. Replant the affected area. Talk to a geotechnical expert.
