Q: To play Solitaire, you will need a traditional 52-card pack of standard playing cards. Open your pack and discard the instruction and Joker cards. Before you start dealing, shuffle the cards a couple of times to make sure that the deck is all mixed up. Deal the first card and place it face up on your left-hand side. Then, deal six more cards face-down in a row to the right of this card so that each card has its own spot. When you are finished, you should have seven cards total. The first one on the left should be facing up and the other six should be facing down. The cards that you are dealing are called your "Tableau." These are the main cards that you will use to play solitaire. When you are finished dealing all of the cards, your Tableau will look similar to an upside down staircase. Next, you will need to deal six more cards onto the stacks. Place the first card face up on the second stack of cards from the left. Then, deal one card face down card onto each of the stacks moving to the right. Starting with the third stack over from the left, deal one card face up. Then, deal four more cards facing down on each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Starting with the fourth stack over from the left, deal one card face up onto this stack and then deal three cards facing down. Place one card onto each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Count over to the fifth card from the left in your row of seven card stacks. Deal one card facing up on this stack and then deal one card facing down onto each of the two stacks to the right. Next, count over to the sixth stack from the left and deal one card facing up onto this stack. Then, deal one card facing down onto the stack to the right of this stack. This stack should be the last one in your row of seven. There should only be one stack left that does not have a face up card on it. This stack should be all the way on the right of your Tableau. Deal one card onto this stack facing up. Now this stack should have six cards facing down and one on top that is facing up. After you have dealt this last card, your Tableau is complete! Dealing the Tableau is the hardest part of setting up solitaire, so the next part will be easy.
A: Shuffle the deck. Deal seven cards in a row. Skip the first card and then deal six cards. Count over to the third card and then deal five cards. Deal four cards starting with the fourth stack. Skip the first four cards and deal three. Count over to the sixth card and then deal two. Deal one last card face up.

Q: Make a commitment with yourself that you will use other forms of discipline besides spanking. Lay out a clear plan with alternatives. Focus on this intention dailywrite it down and visualize it. For example, you might state, "I will not spank my child. Instead, I will provide choices, use natural/logical consequences, and positive reinforcement to help my child behave appropriately." Having a clear intention for how you want to handle discipline can help you choose a more appropriate technique in the heat of the moment. You might also make your intention public by sharing it with family, friends, and other supportive parents. Ask them to hold you accountable. If you're parenting with someone else, sit down and discuss your intention to not use spankings as a form of discipline. Share what you've learned about other, more effective disciplinary techniques. Role-play scenarios and have an open discussion as to how you two can handle common behavioral problems without hitting. If not spanking is a new practice in your household, it may take some time to replace the old habit. Just remind yourselves how damaging spanking can be and make a commitment to turn to other approaches. Your child is likely going to spend time under the care of other adults, and it's important that they follow through on your rules. For example, if your child is not allowed to play violent video games, then you'll want to ensure that other caregivers don't let them play the games. If the child is able to sometimes break the rules, then it will be harder to achieve the positive behaviors you want. If someone breaks the rules you've set for your child, talk to them about it. If they continue to break the rules, don't let your child go over to their home anymore. Parenting is a challenge, and even the best-laid plans can fall to the wayside when you're frustrated or upset. Actively manage stress and negative emotions, so that you can think objectively when disciplining. Do relaxation exercises daily, such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. Eat healthy, nutritious foods that support your health and wellness. Get plenty of rest and exercise, so you can approach discipline with a clear head. Make time for fun activities, like date night or social gatherings with friends and family.
A: Set a firm intention. Get your partner or co-parent on board. Make sure family and friends are enforcing the same rules. Manage your own stress.

Q: Most people who sell scrap copper don't rely on finding it by chance. They have sources on which they rely to find a steady supply of copper to sell. For example, you might be able to set up an agreement with an appliance repair store to pick up damaged goods you know contain copper. They might be happy to allow you to recycle what would otherwise wind up in a landfill. Cut wires off the outside. Wire can be snipped off of TV's and monitors with scissors. Cut off the plugs from the end to add to your brass pile. The small black boxes on charging cables can be cut off and put in your transformer pile. Search inside for insulated wires and connectors. Thinner insulated copper wires can be found throughout old laptops, VCR's and DVD players. Take apart desktop computer towers to find the ribbon wire and insulated connectors in the board and hard drive. Large appliances are often sold for steel. But don't forget to look inside for copper wiring. Small appliances such as coffee makers, AC units, fans, blenders and toasters may all have copper wiring inside. Small electronics, such as cell phones, cameras and hand-held games are good places to search for copper wire. Electricians scrape up electrical wire for scrap during demolition. Plumbing materials also contain copper and brass. Always check with the owner or a construction supervisor before taking copper away from a property that you do not own. Even if you are being paid to clean a demolition site, that does not give you a claim to the wire or any other materials you find there. Look for old statues or decor. Old garden gnomes, statues and other lawn ornaments may contain copper. In addition, sometimes roofing material is made from copper sheeting. Roofing copper is recyclable and environmentally friendly. Unless you have permission to remove copper from a property you do not own, it is considered theft. Copper theft has been on the rise since the value of copper started to increase in 2004. CNBC refers to copper theft as an epidemic that is sweeping the United States. The FBI states that copper theft is threatening the infrastructure of the United States. Thieves are targeting electrical sub-stations, cellular towers, telephone land lines, railroads, water wells, construction sites, and vacant homes. Delivery of electricity, water, telecommunications, transportation and security and emergency services is disrupted. This poses a threat to public safety and national security. Businesses are taking steps to protect themselves from copper theft. They are installing security cameras, securing metals in locked areas, installing alarms, limiting access to buildings and increasing lighting. In many states, the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony has to do with the value of items stolen. Since copper is so valuable, copper thieves are often charged with a felony when caught. Also, since copper thieves can knock out traffic lights or disrupt 911 services, other felony charges such as disrupting public service may be filed.
A:
Find specific sources of copper that are always reliable. Find copper wire inside old electronics. Search construction and remodeling sites. Look for copper in your home. Understand the consequences of copper theft.
