Article: Doing personality tests and reading up on personality types will help you form a vocabulary of words that describe who you are. If you’re at a loss for words, you can also look up lists of personality adjectives. An Internet search of “personality adjectives” will return a variety of websites from which you can draw ideas. Some words may sound great when others use them to describe you, but when you use them to describe yourself, you might end up sounding conceited or otherwise off-putting. Words to avoid:  Charismatic — Calling yourself this will only make you seem full of yourself. Generous — Leave this for others to decide based upon your behaviour. Humble — Calling yourself humble is something a humble person probably would not do. Witty — People who think they’re funny rarely are. Even the funniest people are full of self doubt. Empathetic — Empathy is another descriptor that is best shown through action. Describing yourself as empathetic is like bragging about being humble. Fearless — We all have fears. Saying you’re fearless will likely make you seem overly confident and may even make you difficult to relate to. Intelligent — People can tell if you’re smart. You don’t need to tell them. Likable — To whom are you likable? Everyone? Saying you’re likable might even make people unconsciously search for reasons not to like you. A safe way to describe yourself is to use stories to show who you are instead of simply stating adjectives. A common mantra amongst writers is to “show not tell”. The same goes for describing your personality, particularly in job interviews.  As an example, instead of saying that you’re kind and patient, you could tell a story in which you helped a customer or de-escalated a difficult situation in a previous job. Instead of telling friends that you're adventurous, tell them that you like to go on adventures, and then describe one of your favourite ones — for example, that time you went for a challenging 7-day hike, or that month you spent backpacking in Asia. If you’re trying to find words to describe yourself on a resumé, it’s better to focus on the facts instead of describing yourself with adjectives. Adjectives only tell the employer how you see yourself, whereas facts about your past work and achievements will speak for themselves. As an example, if you’re applying for a job as a customer service representative, give examples of situations in which you were patient and pro-active while dealing with people. Describing yourself to friends or family will be different from describing yourself in a job interview. In both cases you still want to be honest about yourself, but in a job interview you should describe the best version of yourself.  Taking it a step further, tailor your words to the situation at hand. It’s important to be honest about your strengths and weaknesses, but which of these you reveal will depend on the context in which you’re sharing them. As an example, imagine you’re applying for a job in which you’ll be working with people. Even if you’re good with people, if you say you’re an introvert who likes to spend time alone, your employer may not feel confident hiring you. Instead of using adjectives to describe yourself, talk about your interests and experiences. Imagine if you only stood in front of someone and described yourself with adjectives. It would be pretty funny (and awkward):  “Hello, my name is Doe, and I am tidy, anxious, detail-oriented, empathetic, and happy to meet you.” Maybe if you were writing a profile for a dating site, you could get away with that, but even then it’d be a bit strange. Try instead: “My name is Doe. I’m a barista, which is great because I love coffee, jazz, making designs with milk, and wearing aprons. I also enjoy movies (especially sci-fi and documentaries) and hiking. …” If you’re looking to describe yourself to a friend or romantic interest, remember to ask them questions about themselves too. Being a good listener is one of the most important things you can do to get people to like you. As you get to know yourself, you’ll realize that there are certain things you can and cannot do, and that's okay. Be honest about your strengths and weaknesses, with yourself and with others. Being dishonest about your strengths and weaknesses can land you in a job that you’re terrible at or with friends who you don’t click with.

Article: Load an image that you would like to warp. Click the layer that you want to warp in the Layers panel. If the layer is locked, as it usually is on JPG and PNG images, click the Lock icon to unlock it. Alternatively, drag the layer onto the New Layer icon to create a duplicate, editable layer. The Warp tool does not work on the background. At this point, you can use one of the selection tools (such as the Lasso Tool or the Rectangular Marquee Tool in the Toolbox) to select the area you want to warp. Use these exactly as you normally would to select the portion of the layer you want.  To keep your work more manageable, consider making a new layer from your selection (Ctrl+J).  Note: If you select nothing, everything in the layer warps by default. This should put a grid-like mesh over the layer or selection. At this point, you can start warping the image. Click here or scroll down to the section below to learn how to warp. At the right end of the options toolbar, you should see a button that looks like a curved grid over a curved arrow. Press this button to switch between the free transform and warp modes. With the Transform tool active, you can also just right click on the selection and select "Warp" to get the same effect.

Article: Look for Styrofoam balls that are around 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Make sure you get white balls since you’ll need to paint them different colors for your project. You can find Styrofoam balls at your local craft store or online. Use red, blue, yellow, and orange to paint the balls in the piles. These balls will make up the inner strands of your DNA model, which represent guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine.  When you’re finished painting each ball, set it aside to dry on a sheet of newspaper or a paper towel. You should have 6 red balls, 6 blue balls, 6 yellow balls, and 6 orange balls.
