Q: The motion sensor light kit you purchase will come with a small crosspiece bracket with several different holes, allowing you to attach it to electrical boxes of different sizes. Line up the bracket according to the electrical box you have installed and screw the bracket into place. The new light package will include a rubber gasket that fits tightly against the base of the fixture where it attaches to the wall. Slip this gasket over the wiring on the light and into place. It doesn't have to be perfectly aligned just yet; you just need the gasket in place before you connect the wiring on the light to the electrical box, otherwise you'll have to disconnect it again. You have to make sure you connect the wiring properly. That means connecting the neutral (white) wires together and the hot (black/red/yellow) wires together. Use a wire cap over the connected wires to help hold them together, and then use electrical tape around the bottom of the wire cap to help keep it in place. There will be a small colored screw inside the light fixture near where the other two wires exit the casing. You will tighten the copper ground wire down around this screw by simply loosening the screw, looping the ground wire over it, and tightening the screw back down to make constant contact with the wire. Once the wiring is all connected and taped off, you can simply push the wiring into the electrical box to give yourself more room to fit the light assembly on the wall. Your particular setup will likely have one or two screws that you use to attach the light to the cross bracket that you already attached. Make sure the rubber gasket is properly aligned on the back of the fixture, hold it against the wall, and screw it into place. Once you have the assembly properly in place, you are ready to screw in the bulbs that came with it. You can always choose a different type of bulb as well if you don't prefer what your system comes with. After you have restored the power to the light and ensured that it works, you will want to seal the light fixture where it attaches to the wall plate. Use a silicone caulk around the casing where it attaches to the wall. This will help ensure that no moisture can get inside the casing and short out the light.
A: Mount the adjustable crosspiece from the light package to the electrical box. Place the rubber gasket that comes with the light around the outside edge of the new fixture. Connect the wiring with a wire cap. Screw the light assembly into the electrical box bracket with the gasket in place. Screw in the bulbs. Seal the fixture.

Q: Dust will collect on book in your bookshelf over time. Avoid this by dusting your books at least once every couple of months. Use a clean cloth, feather duster, or vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove buildup and keep your books tidy. Always dust your book from the spine outward to prevent dust from collecting in the spine. Regular adhesive tape, which is available in most stores, should not be used to repair damages to your book. This type of tape is pressure-sensitive and it can cause more damage to your books over time. Adhesive notes and stickers should also be kept away from your book. Purchase a clear book jacket online or in a book store to place around your book's cover. The cover should be made of archival material and fit the book without any attachment required. This option is especially important if you want to transport your book and worry about damaging it in the process. If you wish to fix a rare and valuable book, ask for information at your local library. A librarian may be able to give you the name of a local conservator who can restore your book. Get in contact with the conservator and discuss their rates (which will vary) before hiring them to fix your book.
A: Dust your book every month or two. Avoid repairing torn pages with tape. Place a protective cover on your book. Hire a conservator to repair an older, more valuable book.

Q: Most of us don't have constant access to the homeless community. There might be the same person we drive by or pass on the street, but other than that, it's totally random. So be ready to help by keeping a food kit in your car (or mom's!). A gallon-sized resealable bag (or two) with non-perishable items is a great way to always be ready. As for non-perishable items, think the basics. Granola bars, canned fruit or vegetables, peanut butter, maybe a candy bar -- pretty much anything you can open and eat (that can't get smushed, like potato chips). Don't forget pet food! It's estimated that around 10% of homeless people have pets to keep them company. That's 1 out of every 10! Pet food can be just as useful -- if their pets aren't fed, that's one more thing they have to worry about. You know how practically every checkout line nowadays has row upon row of gift cards readily available to inspire that impulse buy? Instead of needlessly spending money, spend it for a good cause! Having a gift card or two is super easy to carry around. Now where to? Keep it simple, like Starbucks, McDonald's, Walmart, or Target. Even $5 would be an amazing gesture. Gift cards are much easier to carry around wherever you go! As you've probably noticed, homeless people often go around collecting cans and bottles. We all have recyclables that we could donate to someone who actually needs the change, so keep yours! And hey, it saves you a trip! That's win win. That's by winning. If there's not one going on at your school or work, find out about what's happening in your community. Some organizations practically have food drives that run all year long. Check your newspaper, local schools, and other news outlets. If you can't find a food drive in your area, there are plenty of other ways to donate food! Contact your local shelters, churches, and coalitions to ask what they need. This is especially useful around the holidays. You've heard it before and we'll say it again: when you give money, who knows what it could be used for? Some organizations say that giving cash keeps them on the street, so they don't go searching for assistance at shelters and coalitions. But do feel free to donate cash to nonprofits and other similar organizations that assist the homeless. When you help the helpers, your dollar can reach maximum efficiency. They know exactly what to do with it!
A: Keep a food kit in your car. Have a few gift cards on hand. Keep your recyclables. Donate to a food drive. In general, don't give cash.
