Q: There are many different types of mounts you can get, but they need to be compatible with your TV and support its weight. Check the weight of your TV in its instruction manual or on the box, and write it down so you don’t forget. Search for TV mounts online or at electronics stores for one that fits the size of your TV.  If you want to ensure the mount is compatible with your television, search online for its model number followed by “mount” to find lists of compatible styles. Otherwise, you can get a universal mount that works with multiple styles of TVs. Full-motion mounts allow you to tilt and turn the TV screen so you can position it however you want it. Set mounts don’t turn, but you may be able to adjust the direction it tilts up or down. The TV mount has 2 parts; a bracket that connects to the back of your TV, and a mount that attaches to the wall. Take the bracket out of the packaging and line it up with the holes near the 4 corners of your TV. Use the screws provided with the mount to attach the bracket to the back of your TV. Don’t overtighten the screws on the back of your TV or else you could damage it. The best viewing angle for your TV is so the center of the image lines up with your eye level, which is usually around 36–45 inches (91–114 cm) from the floor. Look for a spot in your room where multiple people will be able to see the TV once it’s mounted and you don’t have to arch your neck to look at it. Ask 2 helpers to hold the TV at various heights while you sit down if you want to test which viewing angle is most comfortable for you. Hold a stud finder flat against your wall and turn it on. Move the stud finder slowly across your wall until it beeps or until you see the display light up. If you’re able to find studs in the wall, then you can mount your TV directly to them. If you don’t find any studs in your wall, then you’ll need to use toggle bolts to hold the mount in place. If you don’t have a stud finder, you can try knocking along your wall to listen for a solid sound, which means there’s a stud behind it. If your wall sounds hollow, then there are no studs.
A: Get a mount made for the weight of your TV. Screw the mount’s bracket into the holes on the back of your TV. Find a place to mount your TV that’s at your eye level when you watch it. Check to see if your wall has studs with a stud finder.

Q: The colors you choose for your invitations are often determined by the occasion itself.  For example, a birthday party invitation may be done in the honoree's favorite colors or be related to the theme of the event (bright colors for a "Mexican Fiesta" theme, red and blue for a Spiderman theme or black and white for a formal wedding.)  If you're sending invitations on behalf of someone else, be sure to consult with them about color preferences. The number of colors you use may impact the final cost of your invites.  Purchasing paper in multiple colors or designs or printing in colored ink vs. black can add a bit to your cost, so keep that in mind. You need to include basic information on your invitations so that everyone arrives at the right time, on the right day at the right place.  Be sure you've confirmed all your arrangements regarding time, date and place before you sit down to make your invitations.  Think about additional information you may need to include such as a contact or RSVP phone number, instructions about attire or gifts, directions and/or a map and a web address (if you've created one for the occasion. Some events, such as weddings, often include multiple events--rehearsal dinner, post-wedding day brunch and the like.  Be sure all the information about auxiliary events has been decided and confirmed. The two biggest considerations when it comes to size are finding envelopes and postage costs.  Make a visit to your local stationary or art supply store to look at options and contact or visit the website of the delivery service in your area.  Envelopes.  The most common style of envelopes are A-style (also called A-line)  They have side seams and square, sometimes deep flaps.  They come in a range of sizes and their numeric designation corresponds to set  dimensions.  For example, A1 envelopes are 5.125' x 3.625' while the larger A-8 are 8.125' x 5.5'. You can do some research online about envelope sizes.  Be sure to make note of the size of the invite that will fit into the envelope you choose.  Mailing costs.  Mailing regulations vary from country to country, so you want to check with the service you'll use about the specific regulations that govern cost.  For example, the United States Postal Service (USPS) requires that letters not exceed 11 1/2" long x 6 1/8" high or be more than 1/4" thick.Envelopes that are square or another unusual shapes incur an additional mailing cost because their size makes it difficult for them to be processed on mail sorting machines.  Before you decide to get clever with addressing your invites, know, too, that envelopes on which the address is written parallel to the shorter edge cost more to mail.
A: Think about color scheme. Decide on your text. Decide on size.

Q: If your child has been waking up in the middle of the night, it is important that you (and your partner) discuss a plan in advance for how you will handle these outbursts when they arise. Your thinking likely won't be at its sharpest in the middle of the night, so having a plan in place can diminish the stress you feel and also ensure that you respond consistently every time if and when your child has trouble sleeping through the night. When their child has trouble sleeping through the night, some parents resort to inviting the child to sleep in their bed. It can appear to be the only (or the easiest) way to soothe them and to help them fall back asleep. However, if you are looking to actually resolve the problem, inviting your child into your bed is not the solution. This will simply promote bad sleeping habits, as your child is actually being rewarded for waking up in the middle of the night. Inviting your child into your bed also fails to teach her the important life skill of learning how to put herself back to sleep, should she awake in the middle of the night. Another coping pattern that parents may resort to is rocking their child back to sleep. This is another counter-productive behavior, as it prevents your child from learning to fall asleep on his own. If your child cries in the middle of the night, ideally you would ignore her and allow her to self-soothe until she falls back to sleep. If you rush to get up at the sound of crying and immediately comfort your little one, you will be inadvertently reinforcing the negative sleep pattern by rewarding awakening in the night.  The exception is if your child is crying more than usual, has an unusual cry, or is currently ill, you may want to check to make sure your child is not uncomfortable or in pain, and does not have a dirty diaper. Even if you only respond to the crying once in awhile, the reinforcement effect is still just as strong (if not stronger). This is because "intermittent reinforcement" (a behavior that is rewarded with attention sometimes but not always) actually registers as the strongest form of reinforcement in the brain. Therefore, if you respond to your child's crying by soothing her, it will develop pathways in your child's brain that this behavior is one to continue (when it happens to be the very behavior that you are trying to cut out). When it comes to a child who cannot sleep through the night, it is easy to become distressed and disillusioned with the challenges of the moment. However, it is key to keep your mind focused on long-term success. What you are aiming to teach your child is the self-soothing skills of learning how to fall asleep, including how to fall back asleep after an awakening during the night.  With dedication and consistency in your approach, your child will learn this; however, it is not something that will change overnight. Remain committed to teaching your child this important life skill, and trust that with time your child will adapt.
A:
Have a plan for middle-of-the-night disturbances. Do not invite your child into your bed. Do not rock your child back to sleep. Avoid reinforcing negative behaviors such as crying. Remain focused on the long-term goal.
