INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have fair skin, bright colors will look nice on you. Tanned skin (Latin, Indian), purples and turquoise looks very nice. Brown skin, you're lucky that you can pull off almost any color in the world. Of course, feel free to wear what you like, even I don't follow the color rule sometimes. A ring, bracelet, or earrings can spice up an outfit.

SUMMARY: Wear what you think you look best in. Make sure it is figure-flattering, and isn't too tight or too baggy. Be proud if you have a larger chest than other girls, but don't show off too much. If you have plain and boring clothes, wear some jewelry with it.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The tub should also be placed away from things that could be harmed during this process. Set it on a piece of plywood and/or a thick drop cloth in case of spills. A garage with an open door or a shed with all doors and windows open is usually a good location. For best results, do this when the indoor temperature is between 70 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 22 degrees Celsius). Set it on a non-flammable material, like concrete. Use a multimeter, available from most auto supplies stores, to make sure your battery is working consistently.  You will need to connect the positive wire from your battery charger or rectifier to a wire that will be strung to your aluminum. You will need to connect your negative wire from your battery charger to an aluminum wire connected to 2 lead cathodes. 12-gauge aluminum wire works well for this use. Wrap it or connect it to the part in an inconspicuous area. If your anodizing a key, for example, you may wrap the wire around the join between the blade and the bow.  The area of the part that connects to the wire will not anodize. Make sure it is very tightly wrapped for a more consistent charge. The wood should be longer than your plastic tub. This will give you leverage to lift it out when you are done. Make sure you have extra wire extending toward your power supply after you wrap it. Test the wooden handle to make sure your aluminum part will be fully submerged in the acid mix, but not touching the base of your plastic tub. String aluminum wire between the cathodes and connect them together on your small wood plank. You will attach the negatively charged power supply to this wire. Make sure the wire connecting the anode does not touch the lead cathodes. The amount you use will depend upon the size of the metal part you want to anodize. You should have enough to completely submerge your anode. Be very careful not to spill as you mix.  Put on a mask or respirator before you start working with acid. Turn on a fan to ventilate the area. Always pour the water in before the acid. If you spill any acid, cover it quickly with baking soda. The wire that leads from your anode should connect to the positive terminal on your power supply. The wire that leads from the lead cathodes should connect to the negative terminal of your power supply. Before you turn on your power supply, check the area around your plastic tub to make sure there aren’t any spills. You should also double-check to ensure the power is safely connected and your skin is completely covered.

SUMMARY: Place your plastic tub in a well-ventilated area. Set up your power supply. Tie one end of the long aluminum wire to your anode. Wrap the middle of the wire around a thin piece of wood. Set a lead cathode on each side of your tank. Make a 1:1 mixture of distilled water and battery acid in your plastic tub. Connect your aluminum wires to your power supply.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes you can stop the flow of tears by redirecting your attention onto something else. For example, you could change your focus by doing some simple math problems in your head. Add up small numbers or go over the times table in your head will distract your from what is making you feel upset and help you calm down. Alternatively, you could try to think of the lyrics to your favorite song. Remembering the words and singing the song in your head will take your mind off whatever is bothering you. Try to imagine the words to a happy or funny song so you give yourself a mental pick-me-up. While it may seem hard to do in the face of whatever is making you want to cry, thinking of something funny can really help you overcome your tears. Think of something that has made you laugh really hard in the past--a funny memory, a scene from a movie, or a joke you heard once. Try to smile when thinking of this funny thing. Giving yourself a mental pep-talk when you feel like you are on the verge of tears can help you overcome your desire to cry. Tell yourself that it is okay to feel sad, but that you cannot feel sad right now. Remind yourself of the reasons you cannot cry at that moment--you don’t want to cry in front of people you don’t know, or you want to be strong for someone else, etc. Tell yourself that you will let yourself feel sad, but that you need to hold it together for that moment.  Remember that you are a great person, who has friends and family who love you. Think of what you have achieved in your life, as well as what you hope to achieve in the future. But if you do that it will make you cry more!! Research has shown that using positive self-talk has many health benefits beyond easing distress. It can also expand your life, enhance your immunity to the common cold, reduce your chances of developing depression, improve your ability to deal with difficult situations, and reduce your chances of dying from a heart attack. The worst thing you could do would be to dwell upon whatever is making you want to cry, especially when you want to keep yourself from crying. Distracting yourself is a temporary way to keep yourself from crying--but know that at some point you will have to face whatever is bothering you.  Put on a movie that you have been wanting to watch (or an old classic that you really love.) If movies aren’t your thing, grab your favorite book or put on an episode of your favorite TV show. Go for a walk to clear your head. Often, being in nature is a great way to distract yourself--invest yourself fully in appreciating the beauty around you and try to avoid thinking of whatever is making you sad. Exercise. Exercising releases endorphins and will make you feel better when you are feeling sad. Exercising also makes you focus on what you are doing, rather than how you are feeling.

SUMMARY:
Think of something else that you can focus on. Think of something funny. Remind yourself that you are a strong individual. Distract yourself by engaging in something else.
