Article: There are lots of things that could possibly explain a digital camera lens problem. If you're having trouble with the lens, first check your camera to see if there's a lens error pop-up on your camera screen. If this is the case, it means your camera has picked up on the issue as well. If there's nothing, it may mean that the issue is external (too much dirt on the lens) or a possible glitch in the system. Most errors with a digital camera lens are caused by dropping the camera. There are lots of potential circumstances where a phone could be dropped. Spilling liquids on a camera or putting the camera somewhere coarse (like a sandy beach) will also damage a camera's lens and software. Knowing how the problem arose won't ensure you'll be able to fix it, but it may be able to steer you on the right path. Camera user manuals usually have a troubleshooting section with common problems typically associated with a given model. Although most digital cameras tend to function in a similar way

Check for a lens error pop-up. Consider anything that may have happened to the camera recently. Read the camera's user manual.
Article: There are always last-minute glitches that cause delays, so make sure you start preparing well in advance of your event's start time. Ask if you can set up the day or night before the event if you are hosting it at an indoor space, or get there first thing in the morning to start setting up on the day of the event to make sure everything goes smoothly. Try to get a team of volunteers to help set up by asking friends, families, and big supporters of your cause if they are willing to come help you set up. Make sure everyone knows where they are supposed to be during the event and what their responsibilities are. This will ensure the event runs smoothly and there is no confusion among the helpers. For example, if there is parking at the event, have one of your helpers practice directing imaginary traffic. If someone will be seating guests, have them rehearse how they will do this. Make sure that attendees know exactly where to go and what the function of each space is. Create signs or handouts with details about the event, such as a timeline and a map. For example, if you are running a silent auction, make large signs specifying where bids can be taken, where people go to pay, and any other necessary information. Set up a donations table and assign a volunteer to man the table at all times to collect donations and handle the money. Provide them with a lockbox for cash and checks as well as the equipment needed to take any other forms of payment, such as a credit card machine or Square system. Make sure that you have someone watching the money and donations table at all times. If the main person in charge needs to get up and go to the bathroom or something, ensure that someone replaces them temporarily. Be positive and energetic. Ask guests if they are having a good time and if they have any feedback. Let them know how thankful you are for their attendance and generosity. Think about ways to get guests engaged online, too. For example, you could create a hashtag for the event and ask guests to share their experiences via social media with the hashtag. You could also create an event filter on Instagram and have guests upload pictures using the filter while in attendance. Publish general messages of gratitude to supporters, donors, volunteers, and guests on social media as soon as the event is over. Send personalized thank-yous via email to anyone you have the contact info for 1-2 days after the event.  Make sure to include info about how much money you were able to raise and remind everyone what the money will go towards. Provide any relevant information about how people can continue to support the cause. For example, links to charities that receive ongoing donations for something like world hunger.

Start setting up the day before or very early on the day of the event. Do a practice run of the event with any event staff after setting up. Provide clear instructions for guests.

Article: To soften the platform at the front of the shoe that supports the toes, gently step on it with the heel of your foot. Softening the box will increase the comfort of wearing pointe shoes. While some professionals slam the box in a doorway, steer clear from this method. Softening it this way could break the box (or your fingers!) if not done correctly. Using your hands, massage the sides of the toe box to soften it. This will make the box more supple, allowing for a more comfortable dancing experience. If there are still some parts of the box that are giving you trouble, use a small amount of water or rubbing alcohol to help soften the area. Using too much water or rubbing alcohol can result in ruined shoes.

Step on the box. Massage the toe box gently. Apply a little water or rubbing alcohol on the exterior of the shoe.
