Q: Just like with an in-text citation, start your reference list citation with the author. However, when you make a citation in the reference list, you'll also need the author's initials, too. Put the author's last name first, followed by a comma and the initial(s) with periods. For example:  One author: “Smith, G.” If you have more than one author, your citation would look like: “Smith, G., Davis, D., and Baxter, R.” Next, you'll put the date in parenthesis, followed by a period. Here's an example: “Smith, G. Davis, D., and Baxter, R. (1995).” Now, you're going to add in the title of the book. Unlike titles in other types of citations, in APA, you only capitalize the first word of the title, along with the first word of the subtitle. To introduce the subtitle, you use a colon. All the words in the title are italicized. In our example, it would look like this: “Smith, G. Davis, D., and Baxter, R. (1995). The world in our words: Why things happen.” In this case, the main title is “The World in Our Worlds,” while the subtitle is “Why Things Happen.” Follow the title with a period. The city of publication is usually on the title page or the back of the title page. If there are multiple cities, pick the one closest to where you are. Use the postal abbreviation for the state, and don't use periods between the letters. Do use a comma between the city and state. If your book was published in New York City, the citation would be: “Smith, G. Davis, D., and Baxter, R. (1995). The world in our words: Why things happen. New York City, NY.” Place a colon between the state that the book was published in, and the name of the publishing company. Let's say our book was published by Treehouse Publishers. Our example would therefore look like: “Smith, G. Davis, D., and Baxter, R. (1995). The world in our words: Why things happen. New York City, NY: Treehouse Publishers.”
A: Begin with the author's name. Add the date of publication to the citation. Write out the full title of the book. Write down the city and state where the book was published. Add the name of the publishing company to your citation.

Q: Snacking a little when you are stressed isn't a sign of an eating disorder, but binging is. If you eat large amounts of food when you are stressed, enough to feel emotionally worse or physically ill, you may be diagnosed with an eating disorder. Talk to your doctor about how frequently you stress eat, how much you eat, and how it makes you feel.  Binge eating is distinct from bulimia, an eating disorder that causes you to overeat and then purge the food, and anorexia, an eating disorder that causes you to eat too little or not at all. Keep in mind that an excessive preoccupation with eating "healthy" food characterizes an eating disorder called orthorexia nervosa. Don't keep your stress eating a secret. Shame will cause more stress and make your symptoms worse. Let your loved ones know you are trying to avoid stress eating. If you have any relatives or friends who tend to encourage you to eat when you aren't hungry, explain that you need to do things differently.  You might say, "I've been stress eating! It's making me feel bad all the time. I'm working on eating mindfully, really focusing on my food when I eat it. I'm going to take charge of my own meal schedule for now. You can help me by not offering me snacks when I'm studying." If someone doesn't take you seriously, be firm. Say something like, "Stress eating makes me feel terrible, so I am going to be serious about fixing it. Please don't tease me about it." Share your accomplishments with those who love you. If you've successfully avoided stress eating for the day or the week, let them know. There are support groups for compulsive eating, for people dealing with stress, and for people trying to lose weight. Ask your doctor about groups near you, or check online or in your school, church, or nearby community center for a support group that might benefit you. Stress affects all parts of your life. It's bad for your physical and mental health. A therapist can help you learn methods for coping with your stress that do not involve food. Ask your primary care physician for a recommendation, or look online for accredited therapists in your area. Search for therapists who specialize in stress, in eating disorders, or in any other issue that you feel is connected with your level of stress.
A: Ask your doctor if you have an eating disorder. Talk about it with friends and family. Join a support group. Consider therapy to deal with your stress.

Q: Accidents can often be avoided if you have good balance and can catch yourself when trip, bump into something. When you used to get knocked off balance and fall down, with a little work you can improve your balance and stay on your feet.  Practice standing on one foot. When you are confident with what, practice moving your leg that is off the ground both in front of and behind you. This will help you improve your balance when you are knocked onto on leg for some reason. Avoiding alcoholic beverages may be in order as well when it comes to balance and other tasks, depending on your tolerance level.   Do biceps curls with a free weight while standing on one foot. This will help you get used to moving weight around while maintaining balance. Poor eyesight or vision can be a big contributor to clumsiness. If you are having trouble seeing your surroundings, it might be that you simply need corrective lens to provide some clarity.  If you find yourself bumping into things that you don't notice, trying paying deliberate attention for a while to reduce it. If you find it difficult to see obstacles even when you are deliberately focusing on it, you might have a problem with your eyesight. Visit an ophthalmologist or optometrist to get your eyesight checked. It is not always easy to evaluate your own eyesight, because you will have become accustomed to it. A doctor will be able to test your eyesight completely and prescribe suitable lens if needed. Like improving your balance, strength and flexibility can help you to be less clumsy. They can also help you recover more gracefully when you do have a clumsy moment.  Core strength is especially important for balance. To build core strength consider doing sit-ups, crunches, and similar exercises on a balance ball. To build flexibility, stretch regularly. You can sit with your legs together, in a V shape, or with the bottoms of your feet together. Let your head hang. Do not push too far, or you might get injured. Remember to breathe while you are stretching.
A: Improve your balance. Get your eyesight checked. Increase strength and flexibility.

Q: Allow the shells to dry for at least one full day and then rub oil on the shell.  Mineral oil not only restores the shine of the shell, but helps to preserve the shell. Similarly, you can use WD-40. However, when using this material, be sure to use gloves to handle the shells. You can use satin-finish polyurethane or coat with clear nail polish. This type of finish preserves the shell's organic look while giving it an extra glossy shine. Do one side of the shell each day. Allow the shell to dry completely before starting on the other side. Each side can take about a day to dry.
A:
Rub mineral oil over each shell to give it a deep gleam. Spray the shells.
