Wood is a natural decoration that adds to your aquarium's look. Algae that grows on the surface of wood can provide food for certain kinds of fish. Driftwood is a popular choice because of its twisting shape. You can sew carpet moss onto a piece of driftwood to combine wood and plant life, making the tank more resemble a natural underwater habitat. Boil any structure you plan to put in the tank in water before introducing it to your tank. Boiling will sterilize your wood or rock to make it safe for your aquarium. Boiling wood will kill any bacteria on it and remove tannins that can stain the water. Fish will also often hide behind rocks. Rocks have a variety of shapes and colors, so you can look for rocks that you think add to your overall theme. Choose rocks that speak to your sense of style. Avoid having large rocks directly touch the glass. Over time, the rocks may damage the glass, causing stress fractures or cracks. After boiling rocks, soak them overnight and then brush them to remove loose particles. These can include the typical castles and pirate treasure, or you can go for something more imaginative. Consider getting a few decorations in different sizes to provide different territories. Like plants, structures give fish hiding places that they enjoy. Some structures can add oxygen to the water. Be very careful when buying decorations with holes or small spaces. While these can be ideal hiding places for smaller fish, larger fish can become stuck and get injured or even die trying to get out. Be sure any hole or archway is significantly larger than your largest fish. If you have young fish, keep in mind their full grown size when picking out such decorations. Experiment with the placement of your decorations to find something that is aesthetically pleasing to you. Having one main decoration that is larger than everything else can provide a good focal point, but also make sure it won't crowd your tank. Balance items with empty space. If one side of your aquarium is going to face a wall, consider attaching a background to it. These simple sheets of plastic can be bought at any pet store, and come printed with beautiful pictures, from undersea plants to deserts. A simple black background will lend a very professional look, hiding cords and tubing and making the colors in your aquarium stand out, especially if you have a lot of plants. If your aquarium is looking a little sparse, a background printed with plants or coral reefs can give the impression of a much lusher environment. Choose a background that fits your theme. An image of a coral reef suggests a natural space. You could go in the other direction with something like a space-themed background if you want a more unique theme. Measure your tank before going to the store, and buy a piece at least 1" longer than your tank to account for uneven edges. When you get home, cut it down to the proper size and tape it to the outside of the back of your aquarium.

Q: Respect your students, and demand the same respect from them. Clearly lay out your rules for classroom behavior, and enforce them consistently. Don't shout or lose your coolremain calm and collected, and be clear on what needs to happen. When necessary, involve the school administration for serious discipline issues. Your job isn't to be your students' friend or the most-liked teacher. You are a mentor who is there to impart knowledge and model professional behavior. Remember that, as a professional teacher, you are offering a service to the students and the school community. You are duty-bound to take your "in loco parentis" role seriously. Explain why certain rules are in place and follow all institutional risk management procedures. Whether you're teaching a gym class or in the chemistry lab, clearly lay out the safety rules and hold everyone to them at all times. Don't waver in a misguided attempt to appear more likeable or "cool." Constantly provide benchmarks for improvement for your students. Give praise when it is due, and compassionate yet constructive feedback when it's needed. Encourage and support those who are in need of help, and find creative ways to assist them to improve their grades. Create an environment in which everyone (including you) is expected to do their best, is praised when they do so, and is supported when they fall short of excellence. Make sure your lessons, notes, and handouts are professionally presentedthat is, neat, clear, easy-to-follow, and without simple errors or typos. Take a moment to consider how you'd grade your own effortsif they'd be anything other than passing with flying colors, increase your effort. A professional teacher should never feel like they ought to re-do a piece of work because its presentation is shoddy. In the end, it's up to your students to put in the work and effort to get their best grades. As a professional teacher, though, you should accept that the grades your students achieve are, at least in part, a reflection on you. Accept that there is room for improvement on both sidesthe students' and yours. Don't just throw up your hands and say that a student's poor grades are because they're lazy or don't care about the material. Take it as a personal challenge to find ways to engage them in the subject. Good teachers make it easy to understand complicated things. Use examples, models, pictures, hands-on activities, real-life connections, and so on. Find ways for your students to relate to the material. However, "simple" doesn't mean "too easy" or "created without care." Whittling down complex topics into simpler lessons is a challenge that takes time and effort to master. Pick the brains of fellow teachers who you respect for their ability to bring focus and simplicity to their teaching. You shouldn't expect your students to be excited about learning something if you don't seem excited to be teaching it. Let your passion shine through in the classroom, and some of it will rub off on your students. With this enthusiasm, explain to your students why the knowledge you convey is important, and how they can apply what they learn in their daily lives. Then they are more likely to remember what you teach.
A: Take charge of your classroom. Put safety first. Make excellence your goal. Take pride in the process and products of your teaching. Take responsibility for your student's results. Simplify your lessons to focus on the key components. Keep your students' attention through enthusiasm and self-awareness.

Article: If you experience hyperpigmentation there are a number of possible treatments for you to consider. These include topical creams including retinoids and corticosteriods. Drugs which block the production of melanin may be prescribed. Treatments which effect melanin formation are currently consider the most successful. Before deciding on any treatments, speak to your doctor or dermatologist to discuss the possibilities and what might be most suited to you. Due to the commonness of hyperpigmentation and the potential of the medical treatments to irritate your skin, people have been looking for natural alternative treatments. Some natural ingredients in topical treatments have been shown to have benefits in laboratory tests, such as soy. Natural and home remedies are never completely reliable, but citrus juice and aloe vera are cited as potentially good ingredients to use in topical treatments. Make a mask with aloe vera, seaweed and honey and let it rest on your face for ten minutes before rinsing off. Alternatively try mixing lemon juice with honey and milk and use this as a face mask. If you are struggling to lighten dark patches on your face, you may want to consider further treatment options that go beyond topical creams and natural remedies. It's recommended that you speak to your doctor or dermatologist who will be able to advise you on specific treatments. One common treatment is a chemical peel. This is a harsher treatment than topical creams and involves you applying a liquid chemical solution, such as glycolic acid, to your skin. A chemical peel may be advised if other treatments prove ineffectual. Dermabrasion or microdermabrasion treatments may also be recommended. In some cases an light therapy or laser treatment might be used to target discoloured areas of skin.
