Problem: Article: Take a spare dollar from your wallet and fold it accordion style into thirds. Accordion style fold means to fold one part and then fold another part on top of that fold. Do not fold each part in the same direction. Switch directions of the fold each fold. Imagine or research how an accordion opens and closes. This is where the term, accordion fold, gets its name. Place the first paper clip on top of the folded bill with the shorter end facing you. This paper clip will go over the outer layer of the folded bill (facing you), and into the middle of the folded bill. Position the first paper clip so it is near the right edge of the bill. Attach the second paper clip to the back of the folded bill with shorter side facing away from you. The large section of the second paper clip should be through the middle part of the bill. Position the second clip to the left edge of the bill. Position the second paper clip in the opposite position as the first one. Take one end of the bill in each hand. In one smooth motion, snap your hands apart, unraveling the dollar bill. In this motion the paper clips will fly into the air. Once the paper clips land, they will be attached. If the paper clips aren't attached, reconnect the clips and see if you initially set up the paper clips in the correct order. You should practice setting up this trick quickly before showcasing it to the public. Have the dollar bill already folded up in your pocket to make it appear as though it is a normal crinkled dollar. Show your audience the two separated paper clips and then quickly attach them to the dollar bill. Say a magic phrase like "presto" or "alakazam" and then snap the dollar bill. If everything was set up properly, you should pick up the connected paper clips to your audience.
Summary: Fold a dollar bill. Attach the first paper clip. Connect the second paper clip. Snap the bill. Perform the act in public.

Problem: Article: Head off the question early on by moving on to a different subject. It may seem abrupt, but if you do it enough times, your family will get the idea that you don't want to talk about having babies. For instance, if someone hints about you having a family, you could say, "Did you hear that Aunt Rachel has a new grandchild? She is so adorable!" Alternatively, launch into a discussion about celebrity baby bumps. Ask your Aunt Jenny if she really thinks that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant or just gaining weight. Turn the tables with something funny and light to take the focus off of you. Before your family gets a chance to ask the question, make an excuse to get up and do something else. Take this step as soon as the topic of babies comes up, so you can avoid being asked about the prospect of having a family. For instance, you could say, "Excuse me, I need to step outside for a moment." Sometimes, you need to set kind but gentle boundaries with your family members. Let them know that you would rather not answer that question, and then move on with the conversation. You could say, "Thank you for asking, but I'd rather not talk about that right now." Alternatively, try, "I know you're just interested in my family, but my partner and I have decided not to talk about that until we make a firm decision about when we're ready to have a family." Plan out ahead of time with your partner what you will say. That way, you won't end up with family members who feel slighted because you told them you wouldn't discuss the situation, while your partner is giving out details to other family members. Generally, it's best to err on the side of privacy. That is, maybe one of you wants to discuss your family planning openly with family members outside your relationship, while the other one wants to keep quiet. In that case, it's probably best to yield to the person who wants more privacy.
Summary: Change the subject when someone brings the topic of you having babies up. Move away from the conversation when babies come up. Say you'd rather not respond to that question. Present a united front with your partner.

Problem: Article: Before you can teach it to react to its name, it needs to have one. Pick out one of your favorite names for your duck based on its sex, or come up with names that have a more playful ring to them, such as "Mother Goose" or "Quack Nicholson." You can also assign a name to your duck based on its physical characteristics. For instance, you might name a solid white bird "Snowflake," while an especially small one could be called "Peanut." Be creative and don't be afraid to get a little silly. Ducks can be fun pets, too! Get in the habit of using your duck's name anytime you're interacting with it. This could be while you're feeding, petting, bathing, or leading it back to its pen at the end of the day. Be sure to address it in a clear tone of voice so it knows you're talking to it. If you have multiple ducks, you might have success teaching them to respond to different names by using a certain name whenever you're interacting with them one-on-one. Feel free to repeat your duck's name as frequently as you want. Even if it doesn't understand what you're saying, the sound of your voice can be very relaxing for it. Ducks are quick learners. The more often you refer to them by name, the faster they'll come to associate that name with a particular stimulus like food. Every so often, stand at a distance from your duck and say its name in a clear voice. After hearing it enough times, there's a good chance it will recognize the sound and come to you. If it doesn't, it may be in need of further conditioning. With consistent training, your duck will gradually begin to pick up on its name the way chickens and other farm birds do.
Summary: Name your duck. Call your duck by its name as often as possible. Try calling your duck to you.

Problem: Article: Depending on your system, this might be called Terminal, Xterm, Shell, Command Prompt, or something similar. It can usually be found in the Accessories folder in your Applications (or the equivalent). Type ifconfig -a and press Enter. If you are denied access, enter sudo ifconfig -a and enter your password when prompted. Scroll until you find your network connection (the primary Ethernet port is labeled eth0). Look for the HWaddr entry. This is your MAC address.
Summary:
Open the terminal. Open the interface configuration. Find your MAC address.
