Article: Give yourself plenty of time to get ready and get out the door. Remember, there will be lots of kids being taken to school by parents on the first day, so leave early to avoid the extra traffic. Though you'll probably be ready well before you have to leave, getting up early will help you feel calm and relaxed and ready to start that first day; if you're rushing up to the last minute and even forget something, then you won't be in the right mental state for starting your school year.  Try to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep, or however much sleep you need to feel rested. Spritz yourself with a light perfume or use a scented moisturizer if that's what you normally do. You can use a combination but don't overdo it. Though you may think you don't have time to eat breakfast before your first day, or you may not normally eat too much breakfast, it's important to eat a healthy, balanced meal to give you the energy you need to get through that first long day of school. Plan to eat a good mix of healthy carbs, lean protein, and fruits and vegetables. This can keep you from feeling tired or crashing later.  Some examples of healthy meals include oatmeal and berries with a small yogurt, an omelette with spinach and lean ham and a piece of toast, and a whole wheat muffin and a fruit salad. Just make sure you're eating the kinds of foods you normally eat so you're accustomed to them. You can eat your breakfast as soon as you get up, so you don't have to scarf it down and have some time to digest your food before school starts. But if you'd rather get ready and then eat, it's up to you. Just make sure not to get any food all over your first-day outfit, if you do that! Though some people like to take a shower the night before, if you're a morning shower type person, then taking a shower can help you feel clean and ready to start that first day. Showering with cooler water can help you wake up a bit. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner, use soap and body wash on your skin, and use a loofah to exfoliate that skin and get rid of any dead skin.  Make sure to give yourself more than enough time to dry your hair, if you don't normally let it dry naturally. The most important thing is to do what you normally do. You don't want to try a new shampoo or soap on the morning before that first day because you don't know how your body will react to it. Brush your teeth either before or after you take a shower. You can also wait and brush them after you have breakfast, but don't forget! You should get dressed before you do your hair so you don't mess it up if you try to put a shirt or dress over your head afterwards. Just brush your hair, blow-dry it, add a bit of mousse or gel, or do whatever it is you normally do to get your hair ready. Make sure you know what you're going to do with your hair at least a few days before; you don't want to waste time experimenting with different styles on that first day. If you really want to look amazing on that first day, then you should try to get a haircut about a week before. That will give your hair enough time to settle into the new look but will still keep your hair feeling fresh. Just make sure you're really ready for a change if you want to dramatically change that cut before school starts! if you want to. If you're a girl who is used to wearing makeup or who is ready to start, then you can apply some light makeup, as long as you don't overdo it for that first day. Just a bit of foundation, cover-up for blemishes, light lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara should be enough to make your features come alive. If you like, you can also add a bit of blush to the apples of your cheeks for extra color.  If you do want to wear makeup, then try out your look at least a few days before so you're not disappointed when you put on makeup before that first day. You can ask a friend or an older sibling for an opinion, too. You can also bring your makeup with you to school so you can touch it up if there's time. Also, if it's going to be an extra hot day, you may want to minimize the makeup use a bit, because that'll make it more likely that your makeup will run a bit as you sweat. Of course, just make sure your school allows it before you wear any makeup! In order to look amazing on that first day, you have to have an amazing attitude to tie your look together. Smile at people, be friendly, and get excited to see familiar faces as well as to meet new people; if you're cliquish or closed-off, then it won't help you give off a friendly, positive vibe. If you're open and happy to be there, more great opportunities and friendships will come your way.  Also, don't put too much pressure on yourself to have the most amazing first day of school ever. If you do that, then you'll be bound to be disappointed. Just focus on staying in the moment and you'll be guaranteed to have a great day! Having open, confident body language can also help you look amazing. Stand tall instead of slouching, look straight ahead or at the people talking to you, and don't cross your arms over your chest or fidget too much, and you will give off a friendly, approachable vibe.

Article: Contingency equipment options are accessible equipment alternatives that can be used if and when normal business operations are disrupted.  Where would you rent trucks if a disaster damaged or destroyed vehicles used in the ordinary course of business?  Where would you rent computers?  Can you use a business service outlet for copies, fax, printing, and other critical functions? Alternative equipment suppliers typically do not have to be identified specifically, unless they are unique and an arrangement has already been negotiated (very rare). It is more important to identify the services, equipments and/or resources a substitute must be able to supply. The key personnel entrusted with the responsibility of managing the relationship with the substitute must have the necessary authority to make relevant decisions. This is the place you will conduct business while your primary offices are unavailable.  It could be a hotel – many of them have very well-equipped business facilities you can use.  It might be one of your contractors’ offices, or your attorney’s office. A storage rental facility near your regular site might be a great place to relocate and store products in a pinch. Perhaps telecommuting for everyone is a viable option. If you do have an identified temporary location, include a map to the location in your BCP. Wherever it is, make sure you have all the appropriate contact information (including people’s names). It should include step-by-step instructions on how to execute the BCP and address what to do, who should do it, and how. List each responsibility and write down the name of the person assigned to it.  Also, do the reverse:  For each person, list the responsibilities.  That way, if you want to know who is supposed to call the insurance company, you can look up "Insurance", and if you want to know what Joe Doe is doing, you can look under "Joe" for that information. If you have critical vendors or contractors, build a special contact list that includes a description of the company (or individual) and any other absolutely critical information about them including key personnel contact information.  Include in your list people like attorneys, bankers, IT consultants...anyone that you might need to call to assist with various operational issues. Don’t forget utility companies, municipal and community offices (police, fire, water, hospitals) and the post office! A BCP is useless if all the information is scattered about in different places. A BCP is a reference document and it should all be kept together in something like a 3-ring binder.  Make plenty of copies and give one to each of your key personnel. Keep several extra copies at an off-site location, at home and/or in a safety-deposit box.
