Fill up a small bowl with wet or dry dog food and place it outside near where the duck typically stays. You can use dry food, or you can wet it a bit with water. If the duck is injured, it's best to use wet dog food so the duck will get some water and avoid dehydration. You can also put out a bowl of water for an injured duck to get rehydrated. Find a place to hide where you can see the food bowl, but the duck will not be able to see you. Hide there with a net big enough to fit the duck. A net with a handle will give you good leverage to be able to scoop up the duck without having to get too close. Get a net with an opening greater than 1 foot in diameter. A large fishing net is a good option. While the duck is eating the dog food, quietly sneak up behind it. Make your movements quick but quiet because you need to get up to the duck before it's done eating, but you don't want the duck to hear you coming. Keep the net hidden behind your back so the duck does not see it. When you get close enough to the duck for the net to reach, swiftly bring the net down over the duck. Grasp the duck by the neck while it is in the net to gently lift it off the ground. If the duck flies away before you can get the net out, try the method again the next day. Place the net on the ground and gently reach in to grasp the duck by the neck. Be careful not to pull the duck out with its wings tangled in the net. Gently work the net free from the duck's feet and wings to prevent injuring the duck. While holding the duck by the neck you can safely place it in a carrier for transport, or release it in a new location.

One-sentence summary -- Put a small bowl of dog food outside. Hide somewhere with a net. Sneak up on the duck. Scoop up the duck with the net. Remove the duck from the net.

Q: so you have a background in music. Although you don't have to be a musician to work at a record label, it will help you get your foot in the door. Take classes to learn how to play your instrument. Then, learn a few songs or write your own. Practice playing alone or with a band so that you can eventually perform in public. For instance, you might learn to play guitar or piano because it's easy to do a show by yourself. If you can't afford classes, you may be able to learn from watching videos online. Look for gigs at local coffee houses and bars. Additionally, contact local festivals to see if you can perform on their small stage or at unpopular times. Talk to the people at the venue and find out what their job is. Let them know that you're interested in learning about more opportunities in the music industry. Carry business cards with you so you can hand them out to people. When you hand someone a card, ask them for one, as well. If becoming a musician isn't in the cards for you, becoming a manager can help you gain the experience you need. Attend small shows in your area to find beginning artists who don't have a manager. Then, offer to help them schedule shows, promote themselves, and get their music out there. Keep track of everything you do for them so you can add it to your resume. At first, manage the band or singer for free to help you build experience. However, you might arrange with them to get a cut of their profits when you book them a show or they sell merchandise. Learn the history of the label you aspire to work for, and stay up-to-date in current music trends. Read books, magazines, and blogs that are related to music, and look for interviews with people who've worked in the industry. This can help you decide where you want to go with your career and may help you during an interview. It's a great idea to subscribe to magazines like Billboard, Blender, The Source, Spin, Vibe, and Rolling Stone. Websites like Musicconnection.com, Musicweek.com, and Mixonline.com are also great resources. While some jobs may not require a degree, most careers at a record label will. Research the job you want to find out the typical credentials. Then, pursue a 2-year or 4-year degree that's related to the job you want. If you want to manage a band, you might get a degree in business or management, along with a minor in music performance. If you want to be a publicist, you might major in publicity or marketing. If you want to work concerts or in recording, get a technical degree in sound engineering. Look for internships on employment websites or on the record label's website. You may also be able to find an internship through your college program. Submit an application to each internship opportunity you find to increase your chances of getting one. Expect to work part-time during your internship for up to 25 hours per week. You may be working in an office, but the label may require you to attend special events, as well. It's likely that this will be unpaid work. Labels may offer temporary (temp) jobs while someone is on leave or while they're planning an event. Work with a temp agency or send your resume to the label to apply for temp work. If you get a temp job, work as hard as you can to impress your supervisor. This may help you get a full-time job at the label. Temp jobs are usually easier to get than full-time work. They're paid, but you likely won't make much money.
A: Learn to play an instrument Perform shows to network with musicians or industry professionals. Offer to manage an up-and-coming band or singer as another option. Research the music industry to build your knowledge base. Earn an associate's or bachelor's degree in the field you want to pursue. Apply for an internship with a record label or in the music industry. Take temporary work in the music industry to help build your resume.

Article: Since you will be painting on your plywood, you want it to have a smooth texture. Signboard is a great option, but if you can't get it, sanded plywood or medium-density fiberboard will also work. A common size is 4 by 4 feet (120 by 120cm), but you can make your barn quilt whatever size you want. A smaller one is an easy way to start. A lumberyard or a home supply store are good places to look for plywood. Do your priming and painting outside or in an open garage. Lay down drop clothes to protect the floor if you are painting on the ground. You can also put your plywood on top of sawhorses or on a work table. If you don't have ventilation when you paint, the paint fumes can be really harmful. Pour primer into a rolling tray, and dip your paint roller into it. Rub the paint roller along the plywood in smooth, even strokes. It's important to use an exterior primer, since barn quilts are normally hung outdoors. Allow the coat to dry, following the instructions on the primer. Different kinds of primer will take different amounts of time to dry, so check the instructions on your can of primer to figure out how long you need to let it sit. Then paint on the second coat just as you did the first one. Let the primer dry again. You need to prime the back of your board as well, even though you won't be painting it. This helps keep your artwork waterproof, since the barn quilt will have to withstand the weather outdoors. Be patient and wait for the primer to dry in between each coat. It will help your quilt last much longer.
