Q: You may think that to bulk up your muscles, you should eat more calories than you usually would. Eating more calories doesn't translate into building bigger muscles. Rather, the calories increase body fat, which obscures muscle definition. The key is to eat a diet that enables you to be lean, so your big muscles become more apparent.  Eat balanced meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean meats. Avoid white sugar and flour, fried foods, and other high-calorie foods that may cause you to gain fat. Protein helps build muscles, so when you're trying to bulk up, it should be a mainstay of your diet. Try to increase your daily intake of protein to help build more muscle.   Choose fish, chicken, lean beef, pork, and other types of meat to supply yourself with protein. Eggs are also a great source of protein. Beans, nuts, and other vegetables are good vegetarian protein sources. Dairy, such as milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt, is another great source of protein. When it comes to building muscles, resting periods are as important as workout periods. Get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep on the days when you work out, and avoid overdoing it with other activities that require use of your arm muscles.
A: Don't eat too many calories. Eat plenty of protein. Take rest seriously.

Q: For most off-Broadway plays, a simple playbill can be designed. Common sizes include a 4-page layout (usually 4 pages of design fitted onto 1 piece of paper) or an 8-page design (two full sheets of paper each folded in half). The choice is up to you, depending on budgetary restrictions and the amount of information that you (and the theater director) want to convey in the playbill. If you’re designing this playbill for a professional-level play, you’ll have significantly more resources at your disposal and can commission a professionally designed cover and a professionally printed layout. The inner contents of the playbill, however, will be largely similar. If you select the 4-page option, the playbill’s front and back covers will be on the top left and right quarter of a sheet of paper. These quarters will form the outside of the playbill. The cast page and list of scenes will be on the bottom left and right of the sheet of paper. These pages will form the inside of the playbill. A 4-page playbill is usually the best option if you have a low budget. If you have a complex play with many performers and many acts, scenes, and even musical numbers that you’d like to lay out for your audience, an 8-page layout will suit you better. For these, you’ll make a stapled pamphlet by placing folded sheets of paper inside one another. If you have a bigger budget and have a lot of things to cover, you can add more pages as you see fit.
A: Choose the size of your playbill. Design the 4-page playbill. Design an 8-page playbill.

Q: Choose between five and ten of your best pieces to highlight in your portfolio. Pick pieces that demonstrate the breadth of your work. For example, if you’ve worked on seating, tables, and lighting design, use examples from all of those areas. Show your best work first. For each piece, include your sketches and other prototypes that led to the final design of the piece. Show your CAD models, 3D prints, and the results of testing and interviews you might have conducted in developing each piece. This will make your portfolio stand out and provide invaluable insight into how you work. Show the finished product first. Add information about how you got to the final design second. Pick a clean design that showcases each piece. Also organize your material clearly. For example, you might want a clear photo of each piece to be a single page, followed by information about its design, form, function, and process.  Make sure your portfolio is easy to look through. Create an index so that specific work and information about your designs can be located quickly. Describe your work in a straightforward way, giving only the most pertinent information. Provide context to your work without being wordy or using long blocks of texts. These will distract from the visual nature of your work. Write short paragraphs or annotations for your sketches, models, drawings, and photos.  For example, give the title of each piece, tell it’s function, and you might include a sentence about your inspiration. For a desk, you might say, “The Stolik Desk was designed for children. Drawers can be interchanged for both right and left-handed users. The legs can be extended as the users grow.” For a floor lamp, you might say, “Drawing inspiration from the shape of the snap pea plant, the Fasol Lamp features a vivid green color and whimsical base with intertwining vines.” Describe yourself briefly. Include information that will interest prospective employers or clients, like your background, your professional goals, and your sources of inspiration. Again, don’t make this too wordy.  For background you might say where you come from and where you studied: “I originally come from Oslo and pursued my MA in Furniture and Interior Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.” You could combine your focus with information about your internship or apprenticeship: “My focus is industrial furniture design and I’ve interned at the Glory industrial design studio.” If you have testimonials from professors, employers, or clients, include those. Highlight any awards you’ve received for your designs or related skills. Include relevant scholarships.
A: Showcase your best work. Demonstrate the process. Use a simple layout. Keep the text minimal. Include a short bio.

Q: Doing this allows the natural oils in your hair to develop which in turn allows the dye to bind to your hair more easily. The dye will blend more naturally with your hair, and that tends to make it last longer.  If possible, avoid conditioner when you wash your hair the day before dyeing it. Conditioner eliminates your natural oils, which you need for the dye to set in more easily. If your hair is extremely dry, condition it every night for at least five minutes in a hot shower for a week before you plan to dye your hair. Then, do not condition your hair the night before dyeing. This will keep your hair from drying out after you dye it. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the hundreds of shades you can choose from. If this is your first time dyeing your hair, its best to stick to a hair dye that is no more than two shades darker or lighter than your own natural hair color.  If you are new to dyeing, you can also try dyeing your hair with a temporary or semi-permanent dye first. Using one of these types of dyes ensure that if you mess up, you won’t have live with your mistake for long. Keep in mind that you have to apply semi-permanent dye to damp hair. Temporary dyes, such as chalk and mousse, usually wash out after 1 to 2 shampoos. Semi-permanent dyes will rinse out after 20 to 26 shampoos. Permanent dyes are permanent. The color may fade after 6-8 weeks, but will need to grow out.
A:
Wash your hair 24 to 48 hours before dyeing. Pick a color that you really like.
