All states in the U.S. require lobbyists to register with the state before doing any lobbying activities. Before you start working as a lobbyist, check with your Secretary of State's office to find out what information you need to provide and whether you need to pay a registration fee. You can find a list of registration requirements by state here: http://www.ncsl.org/research/ethics/50-state-chart-lobbyist-registration-requirements.aspx You may need to supply information such as what kind of compensation you are receiving for your lobbying work, who your clients or employers are, and which subject(s) you'll be lobbying about. Some states require lobbyists to take training courses or seminars before doing any lobbying work. These courses typically focus on ethics training. Check with your Secretary of State's office to find out if you need any special training before you begin work. For example, lobbyists in California are required to take a Lobbyist Ethics Course and certify the completion of this course with the Secretary of State's office by a specific deadline. Most states require lobbyists to file regular disclosure reports about their activities.

Q: If your rocks need a deeper clean, scoop up a shovelful and pour the rocks into a sturdy wheelbarrow or a large bucket. Don't overfill the container, since you'll still need to be able to lift it. This is a great trick if you need to clean white landscaping rocks, as it will help restore their color. This is also a good technique if you want to wash smaller rocks that might get blasted away by a pressure washer. If you have a lot of rocks, try only washing the top layer, since the bottom rocks won't be visible anyway. White vinegar is a great option for this, since it's unlikely to damage the rocks but is still powerful enough to break up dirt. If you're cleaning white rocks, though, you might prefer to use a mixture of bleach and water. Mix 14 cup (59mL) of bleach into every 2USgal (7.6L) of water and pour it over the rocks. If you're using bleach, wear heavy-duty rubber gloves before you put your hands into the water. For very dirty rocks, you may want to allow them to soak in the solution for about 20 minutes. As you pour off the acidic solution, you'll probably notice dirt and debris coming off with it. Try to keep the rocks in the bottom of the wheelbarrow or bucket as you pour, since you'll still need to rinse them off. Be careful where you pour the vinegar or bleach. Both will kill plants, and bleach is harmful to any pets and insects in the area as well. Fill the bucket with clean water, then pour it off and rinse them again. You'll probably need to do this several times in order to get the rocks completely clean. Residue from bleach or vinegar can eat away at the rocks over time. When you're finished, you can return the clean rocks to their original spot!
A: Shovel a section of landscaping rocks into a wheelbarrow or bucket. Pour vinegar or bleach water over the rocks. Tip the wheelbarrow and pour off the vinegar or bleach. Rinse the rocks several times with clean water.

Article: Dermatologists are experts on skin, nails, and hair diseases; they can let you know if you have any skin conditions that would require treatment. Your primary care doctor can recommend a dermatologist to you, or you can find one online. The American Academy of Dermatology is also a good resource, helping to match people with dermatologists in their area. Exfoliation removes the top layer of dead skin cells from your face. If you have acne, open cuts, or burnt skin, consult a dermatologist before trying an exfoliation treatment. Look for board-certified dermatologists. This certification indicates that they have completed medical school, have undergone a three-year residency in dermatology, and have passed an exam through the American Board of Dermatology. If you experienced discomfort when you tried to exfoliate, let your dermatologist know. If you have a rash, blemish, or bump that isn't going away, bring this up during your appointment. The dermatologist can also let you know if any moles that you may have look troubling. Bring information about your medical history to your appointment, including any allergies you may have or medications that you have been using. Be prepared with a pen and notepad so that you can take note of the doctor's advice. For extreme cases, your dermatologist may suggest a chemical peel for exfoliation. High pH levels in chemical peels can help prevent skin irritation and tissue damage, along with making moisturizers and anti-aging treatments more effective.
