Article: This is particularly useful as many who take exams have to wear uniforms, and girls who wear tights can wear completely opaque black tights. And no teachers can ask you to pull them down!

Before you get dressed in the morning, write in pen on your legs all the formulas, information, definitions and other helpful notes for your exam and make sure you wear clothes that cover your legs. Go to the toilet during your exam and simply take down your trousers/tights and there are your answers for you to read.
Article: If you remember the names of your friend's family members, see if you can track them down, especially if one of them has a more unusual name. This can be especially useful if the friend you're looking for was someone you knew when you were young. You may remember more useful details about his or her family, such as their parents' jobs or social affiliations. Sometimes you know someone who knows someone who can get you back in contact with your old friend. It might be someone that you're friends with on Facebook, but don't talk too much. This could be a work colleague, if the person you're trying to track down used to work with you, it could be someone in the same religious circle as you, or someone that you went to school with. Contact your workplace (or former workplace) to see if they can give you any leads. It's best to talk to someone you already know, since workplaces are unlikely to just give out people's information. Utilize your alumni directory, or contact your high school or university. High schools often publish a directory of past students that you can purchase. Most universities or colleges track their alumni as well, and you can contact them for directory information or to find information on reunion events. Access the directory of your fraternity, sorority or service organization to find alumni. If you don't have access log-in information, contact the national organization, provide your participation information (usually full name, dates you were part of the organization, etc.), and the organization can provide you with your log-in specifics. You can do this in a variety of ways, you can look for marriages and changes of name. You can look for deaths, or prison records. You'll need to know the person's full name and, preferably a hometown. For accessing public records you'll need to contact the National Center for Health Statistics in the U.S. Otherwise, you'll need to find your local government's health agency, which should keep track of those types of records. If you can't find anything about your friend, it might either be because your friend doesn't want to be contacted, or they might have died. In that case there isn't much more you can do to find them. Sites like familysearch and tributes can help locate a deceased person or an obituary.

Find them through family members. Find them through mutual friends. Find them through your old workplace, college or alumni records. Access public records.
Article: It's possible that your dog climbs on the couch because they know you snack there, and there might be crumbs in the cushions. Or maybe your cat climbs on the kitchen counter because they know you put their food bowl up there from time to time. Whatever piece of furniture your pet is climbing on, there's a chance they've come to associate that location with food. Keep food away from the furniture you're trying to train your pet away from, and promptly clean up any messes you make on or near that furniture. One way to train your pet out of using furniture (and keeping your pet off, even when you're not home) is by making the furniture less comfortable. Buy some cheap place mats and cover one side of them with double-sided scotch tape. You can then lay these sticky mats, with the adhesive side up, on whatever counters or couch cushions your pet is drawn to, or just apply double-sided tape directly to the furniture. The sticky sensation will be extremely uncomfortable, yet it won't harm your pet, and if you're using place mats it won't damage your furniture, either. Aluminum foil is another simple furniture deterrent that will make furniture loud and uncomfortable, and therefore undesirable, without harming your pet or damaging your furniture. Simply lay sheets of aluminum foil across couches, chairs, and counter tops. You can also use an upside down plastic carpet runner across your couch and chair cushions. A simple way to keep pets off your couches and recliners is by laying other furniture, like folding chairs, across the cushions. This will remove all temptation by making the furniture completely inaccessible to your pet, yet it's still simple enough for you to easily remove when you want to sit on the couch or chair. One way to train your pet out of climbing onto furniture, especially when you're not home, is to lay a gentle trap. A good example of a harmless (yet effective) booby trap is to stack a bunch of empty soda cans on the furniture. Be sure the empty cans are well-rinsed, to ensure that no sticky residue gets on your furniture. You can build a little pyramid, either on a couch cushion or on the headrest above an armchair, and if your pet tries to climb up the toppling cans will frighten him off the furniture. Over time it may startle him enough to stay off the furniture permanently. If you don't want to create your own furniture blockers, there are a number of commercially-available furniture deterrent devices on the market. The Snappy Trainer consists of a large paddle attached to a sensitive trigger, which can detect when an animal has climbed onto the couch or chair cushion and causes the whole device to snap up in the air. The SSSCAT, another motion-activated device, shoots a blast of air at your pet if they cross the motion sensor while climbing onto your furniture. The Sofa Saver is a device you lay across the couch, and if your pet climbs onto it, the device activates a noisy alarm that will scare away your pet. Each of these devices can prove to be highly effective because they startle your pet without causing any harm, and they can be used even when you're not home.
