Problem: Article: If you know someone who is currently serving time in prison, consider writing to them to see if they would be interested in corresponding with you.  Try reaching out by saying something like, “I was wondering if you would be interested in corresponding with me while you’re there. I would like to send you some letters, if that is alright with you.” Consider writing to any family members or other loved ones who is incarcerated. Remember that they may not want to correspond with you and that’s okay. It's their choice. If you want to write to someone who is incarcerated, make sure you only have good intentions for doing so. Receiving letters can be a great way to life an inmate’s spirits and keep them hopeful while they are serving their time. However, if you really only want to write them to tease them or make them feel guilty for being locked up, that is a selfish reason to write and you might actually end up doing more harm than good.  Only write to a prison inmate that you know if your intentions are positive and helpful. Also keep in mind that there are restrictions about what you can and cannot write about to inmates. You absolutely can’t write to a prison inmate with the intent to blackmail them – this will definitely get you into some trouble. You also can’t include any contraband items, like nude photos. In order to write to any inmate, you’ll need to get their mailing address at the prison. You can contact the prison to ask for a specific inmate’s address and they will normally release that information to you.  Additionally, you could get in contact with other family members or close friends of the inmate to see if they already have the inmate’s address. When you address the envelope, be sure to write legibly and include all of the required information to ensure your letter is delivered. The address will probably include the inmate’s correctional facility identification number, so you’ll need to include that as well. In your letters, send the inmate updates about things that are happening in your life and things you know they would be interested to hear about. Remember that they might feel like they are missing out, so having this connection to the outside world could be a very positive thing for them during their incarceration. Tell them about significant events in your life like birthdays and graduations. Let them know how your social and family life is going – like if you are dating someone new or a funny anecdote about how your child is driving you crazy.
Summary: Write to someone you already know. Assess your reasons for writing. Find the inmate’s mailing address. Send updates about your life.

Problem: Article: With the brush in your kit connected to the current source, coat your clean item with the activating solution. The tip of the brush is actually wrapped around the anode, which both coats and ionizes your item in preparation for the actual plating solution. Alternatively, you can dip your item into the beaker with the activating solution and fully submerge it to coat it. However, the brush must also be in the activating solution with the item since the brush is also the anode helping to charge the surface of the item. The plating solution will work better on your item if any excess activating solution has been rinsed from your item. A quick dunk is sufficient. Just as with the activating solution, you can either use the separate plating brush to coat your item, or you can submerge the item in the plating solution. The electrical current will bond the oppositely charged gold particles to the item.  Your kit will recommend several passes with the wand. If submerging the item, the amount of time will vary by object, but you will likely need to leave it in the solution for ten-to-twenty seconds. You will also want to rotate the item halfway through to give each side equal time directly facing the anode for even and equal deposition. This will remove any excess plating solution, and there is minimal drying time. The plated gold will be hard and dry almost instantly.
Summary: Coat your item with the activating solution. Rinse your item in the distilled water. Coat your item with the plating solution. Rinse your plated piece once more in the distilled water.

Problem: Article: Being the goalie is a tough job, stand confidently with your head up and shoulders back. Stay calm at all times and remember it is okay to get hit with the ball, so go for every shot! It’s easy to get discouraged by missing shots, so don't sweat it. Keep in mind how important your job is, and that all you can do is give it your best effort Understand that the goalie position is a very tough position. Accept the fact that you are going to get hit, kicked, and maybe even stepped on, but that it is all part of the game. Mentally preparing for the likelihood of physical injury will help you feel prepared for anything the game might throw at you, so you won't waste time thinking about the possibility of getting hurt and can focus on the game. Do not get scared and stand there waiting for your opponent to make a shot. If possible, attack and take control of the ball, this can help to startle them instead! You can scare the opponent by making your body looking bigger by moving up to the opponent. Or you can make a roar while the opponent is coming at you. The opponent will have a less chance of making a shot. But do not get discourage if you do. You will show your weakness and your lack of confidence will affect your game-play even worse, so keep your mind straight Being the goalie means you have the advantage of using your hands and arms. Don't be afraid to give it your all. Dive, lunge, and jump to block the ball if you have to. If your opponent successfully gets the ball around you, run and slide diagonally toward their right-hand side. If they try to kick it to the right, your feet will block it. If they kick it to the left, stretch your hands out to catch it. Try to keep your legs closer to your opponent than your face to avoid injury. Being fearless doesn't mean you purposefully jeopardize your own safety for the sake of the game. Never try to kick the ball past an approaching opponent, this leaves your goal more vulnerable. Always kick it away from them if possible. Make sure you have a teammate who is able to receive the ball before kicking or throwing it back into play. Penalty shots can be one of the most intimidating aspects of goalkeeping, mastering them will make you less fearful of them. Never wait for the penalty shot on your heels; stay in the middle of the goal on your toes at all times so you can react faster. Remember, the player will have a chance to run up to the ball so there's a good chance the ball is not going to stay on the ground. It’s important to be cautious while your diving. Diving takes time to get used of it but there is no need to fear.  Never land on your knees. Your knees will start to ache and sore and it will affect you during play time When you’re coming down from a dive, roll to your side to break your dive on high dives, and low dives To dive further, lift from your leg your diving off of and launch yourself off of the ground.
Summary: Have a strong and resilient mindset about your position. Approach opponents aggressively. Use your whole body. Kick the ball away from your opponent. Become a master of penalty shots. Make your diving safer.

Problem: Article: For example, a cup or a roll of duct tape. Also use a Sharpie™ with both a fine and regular tip for this whole project; it makes it pop more than pen or pencil.   Make sure no single pattern is touching the same pattern.  Make any final touches you feel are needed.
Summary:
Find something small and circular. Trace the circle many times with multiple overlapping areas. Black out a few non-touching areas of your choosing. Use patterns to fill the rest of the spaces. Alternate filling the background from black to white in the patterned areas, so that a pattern with a black background is touching a pattern with a white background. Finished.
