Q: When you're on stage, you shouldn't be wearing what you would to go to the grocery store. It should feel put-together in some way. That doesn't mean you need to wear a coat and tie! However, it should tell the audience a little bit about who you are even before you start playing.  For example, for a heavy metal band, you might opt for leather and metal, while for a rock and roll band, maybe you want torn jeans and metallic t-shirt. Go a little crazy. You're allowed to pick out something you wouldn't normally wear to help you stand out. If you're not having a good time, the audience is going to notice. You have to be engaged with the music and act like it's totally consuming you. Make sure you're moving the whole time you're on stage, whether it's just bouncing your head or moving your whole body to the beat. You can fake this if you're not feeling it. Just act like the music is really making you want to move to the beat! If you're not singing, walk away from the mike. It separates you from the audience, so when you can, you want to go to the side or in front of it. It will help you engage your audience better. You can also engage with the lead singer and other members of the band as you move around.  However, be mindful of your cord! You don't want to get it wrapped around the mike or get tangled up in it. An even better solution is to go wireless if you can. Similarly, if you don't need the guitar for part of the show, slip it behind you so it's not between you and the crowd while you sing. Don't just stare down at your guitar the whole time you're playing. You know those riffs by now! Look out into the crowd and connect with people by looking them in the eye. The more you engage, the more people will enjoy your show. If you don't have your chords or riffs memorized, work on getting them down so you can just groove while you're on stage. Engagement is key to getting the crowd into your music and making them feel like they're part of the show. Nod or smile at people who are trying to make eye contact, for instance, or go and high five those people who are holding their hands up at the front. You could even bring 1-2 people up on stage to dance with you. Engaging with people makes it personal, and they're more likely to invest in you in the future! If you're hunkered over your guitar near the back of the band staring at the strings, that doesn't exude confidence. Stand up, push your chest out, and get to the front of the stage. Show the crowd you know what you're doing and you're ready to play! It's also good to take a wide stance. When you're feet are together, it makes you look smaller and less confident. When you're performing in front of a live audience, particularly a large one, you have to make your movements large. That way, even the people in the far back can see them, and they will look intentional instead of accidental. For instance, if you're strumming extra hard, move your hand farther up and down than you normally would.
A: Pick outfits that help you stand out. Enjoy yourself while you're playing. Get out from behind the mike when you can. Make eye contact with people in the audience. Engage with the audience. Act confident to feel confident. Exaggerate your movements so people in the back can see you.

Q: To create a simple electromagnetic pulse, you will need a disposable camera, copper wire, rubber gloves, solder and soldering tools, and an iron rod. These components can be found at your local hardware store.  The thicker gauge copper wire you use in this experiment, the more powerful your electromagnetic pulse will be. In the event an iron rod is not available to you, you can use a non-metal rod as a substitute. However, a non-metal rod will have a negative impact on the strength of your EMP. When working with electrical components that could be holding a charge, or when running an electrical current through an object, it is recommended you wear rubber gloves to prevent any errant shocks to yourself. An electromagnetic coil is a device that is made up of two distinct yet integral parts: a conductor and a core. In this case, your iron rod will be your core and your copper wire the conductor. A capacitor is generally a double-pronged, cylindrical shaped component found on most circuit boards. Your disposable camera should have a capacitor for its flash. Be sure that the battery of your disposable camera is removed before attempting to solder the ends of your coil to the capacitor, or else you could get a nasty shock.  Wearing rubber gloves can save you from getting an electric jolt while handling your camera circuit and flash capacitor. Expend the charge in your capacitor by engaging the flash after removing the batteries from your camera. Any stored charge in your camera can result in an electrical shock. Depending on the materials you have used, the effective range of your EMP shouldn't be more than a few feet in any direction. Be that as it may, any electronics caught in your EMP may be permanently destroyed.  Keep in mind that EMP's indiscriminately influence electronics. This includes life-supporting devices, like pacemakers, and valuables like cellular phones. Any damage you cause to these devices through your EMP could result in legal repercussions. A grounded platform, like a tree stump or plastic table, is an ideal testing surface for your EMP emitter. Since the electromagnetic pulse field will only affect electronics, you may want to buy an inexpensive electronic device from your local electronics store. If your electronic device ceases to function after your EMP, you have successfully created an electromagnetic pulse. Many office supply stores have affordable electronic calculators that you can use to test your EMP. You will need electricity to re-charge your capacitor, which will then provide the current to your electromagnetic coil and create your EMP. Be sure you have placed your test object close to your EMP emitter. You can do this by removing the wires from the electromagnetic coil, allowing the current from the battery to feed into the capacitor, and then with a insulated manipulator (like rubber gloves or plastic tongs), reattach the wires of your coil to your capacitor. Using your bare hands could result in a taser-like zap. By activating the flash of your camera, you will release the stored electricity in it, which will surge through your electromagnetic coil and create your EMP.  The nature of the EMP field you are creating will affect any electronics, even those that are switched off. If you have chosen a calculator as your test object, after activating your capacitor, if your EMP has worked, the calculator will not turn on. Depending on the kind of flash capacitor you have used, the voltage required to charge your capacitor will be variable. The approximate capacitance for a disposable camera should be between 80-160 microfarads, and the voltage will likely be between 180-330 volts.
A: Gather your materials. Create an electromagnetic coil. Solder the ends of your electromagnetic coil to a capacitor. Find a safe place to test your EMP device. Find a suitable test object. Reinstall your camera battery. Allow your flash capacitor to charge. Activate your flash capacitor.

Q: You can wear your fleece several times without washing it, as the fabric is durable and tough against stains.  If you over-wash your fleece, the fabric may start to pill. In addition, clean your jacket whenever it is noticeably dirty. For example, if you’ve gone on a hiking trip and got very muddy, wash your jacket as soon as you get home. You can easily wash your fleece jacket in your washing machine. If you do this, be sure to wash your jacket with similar colors. If possible, wash it with other fleece clothing. Avoid washing your jacket with other items that may cause lint, such as towels and washcloths. Do this if your tag recommends it or if you want to avoid any pilling on your jacket. Some particular fleece jackets require hand-washing because of their fabric of any dyes used. While washing your fleece by hand takes a bit more work, it is still easy to do.  While using a cold water setting with a washing machine often avoids pilling, the machine can cause the fabric to pill over time.
A:
Wash your fleece jacket after 6-7 wears. Use the washing machine if you want a fast and easy method. Wash your fleece jacket by hand to avoid any fabric pilling.
