Q: Auditions are usually held between the middle of January and the middle of April, but you should find out more specific information by checking Family Feud's official auditions website. Auditions usually take place shortly before the new season starts. Auditions are typically held in four to six cities across the United States. They take place over the course of one weekend at each location. No team can audition if its members violate the show's basic rules. Your prospective team must consist of five members, and everyone must be related by blood, marriage, or law. All family members must be U.S. citizens. Anyone who is not a citizen must at least have permission to work within the U.S. No team member can be related to or acquainted with someone who works for the show, Fremantle Media, Debmar-Mercury, Wanderlust Productions, or any of the show's affiliates. No one on the team can be running for political office. Anyone who has appeared on more than two game shows within the past year is ineligible. Similarly, anyone who has been on Family Feud within the past ten years is ineligible. The show has no strict age requirement, but it is recommended that the teammates should be at least 15 years of age. To ensure that your family has a chance to audition, you should send an e-mail to the appropriate casting department for the city you will be auditioning in. The e-mail address for each city can be found on the show's auditions page, but it is usually the name of the city followed by "@familytryouts.com." For instance: The e-mail address for Austin, Texas try-outs is Austin@familytryouts.com. Phoenix, Arizona try-outs go to Phoenix@familytryouts.com. Boston, Massachusetts try-outs go to Boston@familytryouts.com San Francisco, California try-outs go to bayarea@familytryouts.com. Indianapolis, Indiana try-outs go to Indianapolis@familytryouts.com. Your family will be assigned a time slot on the date of the audition. It is best to show up at least an hour early to make sure that you will have time to make it through the check-in line. After checking in, your family will be given forms to fill out before the actual audition. Families who turn in the forms first will audition first. Prepare to fill out basic information, such as name, age, and other eligibility factors. Write down an "interesting fact" about yourself. The fact can concern your job, hobbies, or anything else that makes you stand out. Prepare a narrative about your family. Again, the more unique it is, the more appealing your family will be to the casting directors. Explain what you would do with the money if you won. Families that have a purpose or plan in mind are more likely to be accepted than those who do not. After turning in your applications, the moderator will have you play two rounds of a practice game. In one round, you will do the face-off while the other team prepares for the steal. In the other round, another team does the face-off while your team prepares for the steal. Winning or losing the rounds has nothing to do with who passes the audition. The practice game is played in front of an audience consisting of other auditioning families. Be energetic and natural. As a whole, your family needs to be enthusiastic in order to catch the attention of the casting directors. If one member of your family is a little more subdued, however, let that person behave naturally instead of trying to force a bubbly personality that does not exist. As long as the rest of the family has the excitement to make up for the one person who lacks it, you might still have a chance. Don't stress out about right and wrong answers. You need to take the game seriously, but at the end of the audition, the casting directors will care more about the families whose members stood out than those whose members had all the answers. Being an entertainer is more important than being a genius.
A: Find out the where and when. Know the eligibility requirements. Schedule your audition. Be prompt. Fill out the forms. Play a practice game.

Article: Establishing routines positively affects your child in a myriad of ways. Children like the familiarity and it builds trust and a feeling of safety. It also gives little ones the opportunity to learn to start processes on their own, which builds self-confidence and self-esteem while also reducing the time needed to put shoes on your one year old if you are ever in a hurry to get out the door. If you keep shoes near the door, for instance, your child will know that upon approaching the door it is time to sit on the steps (or floor) for "shoe time." You can even explain why we need shoes as you put the shoes on you toddler. You can repeat a mantra, such as: first we put on the socks, then we put on the shoes, then we go play and have fun! Some children prefer to sit or stand while their shoes are put on while others prefer to be held. Depending on the preferences of your child, you should select a position that is both convenient for you and comfortable for your little one. If you prefer to hold your child, sit with your child facing away from you on your lap. Being so near the door may be too exciting for your toddler to sit still. If that is the case, try another neutral area that doesn't contain their toys or other highly desired items that can cause angst. This can eliminate the headache of a toddler on the loose. The child is already strapped in. As a routine it also helps positively build your child's emotional well-being while bringing you closer together. It can also be easier because your toddler will learn that to get out and having shoes on is a necessary first step.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Create an unremarkable routine. Experiment and find out how your child likes to put their shoes on. Consider the location where you put the shoes on. Put on shoes when your toddler is in the stroller or car.

Q: The yolks of hard boiled eggs can produce sulfur and related chemicals that react with the copper to change the color to a darker brown or black. While this method will take longer and may not produce as dramatic results as using liver of sulfur, you do not need any equipment other than hard boiled eggs and a sealed container. . Use two or three eggs for copper jewelry, or more if you have larger or multiple items. Place the eggs in a pot of boiling water and let them sit for at least ten minutes. The over-boiled sulfurous smell and greenish ring around the yolk are good indicators that the eggs will darken your copper. Use a spoon or other utensil to break the eggs into pieces. If the container you will be using is a bag, it may be tidier to place the eggs inside it first. Try not to have the eggs touch the copper if you want to avoid colored spots on your copper. Instead, place the copper objects on a small dish or on the other side of the container. Fasten the lid or seal the plastic bag. The container must be airtight in order for the gases produced by the egg to become concentrated enough to affect the copper. Depending on the freshness of the eggs and the quantity of eggs used, you could start to see results within twenty minutes or several hours. Check back every half hour to an hour, or if you want your copper to become much darker, leave it overnight. Use a clean cloth to wipe off excess color if the copper became too dark, or if you want to create a more variable, less even effect.
A:
Use this method for easy, relatively minor adjustments. Hard boil two or more eggs Mash the eggs to pieces. Place the copper and eggs inside a container. Seal the container. Check back regularly. Polish off excess tarnish if necessary.
