There are lots of different kinds of feathers that you can choose from to make your feather earrings. You can get feathers that are naturally colored, dyed, shaped, fuzzy, long, or short. Select some feathers that appeal to you to create your feather earrings.  Check your local craft store for feathers. Don't use feathers that you find on the ground or that came from a bird you found (dead or alive). Consider what kind of feather earrings you want to make as you choose your feathers. Try to choose colors and textures that will work well together. You can opt for natural color feathers or unnatural color feathers. Keep in mind that you may not be able to find identical feathers to create a pair of earrings. Look for feathers that look similar to each other and pair these up to use for your earrings.

Q: This is one of the quicker ways to sterilize driftwood found in nature. Place the driftwood in a pot filled with boiling water. Keep the driftwood boiling for 1-2 hours. You may need to refill the water as it boils away. When the time is up, drain the water out, replace it, and repeat the process. Many aquarists like this method as it is virtually guaranteed to kill any fungal spores found on the driftwood. Get out a cookie sheet and cover it with foil. Place your driftwood pieces on the foil, not overlapping. Bake the wood at 200 degrees for 2-4 hours. You will want to closely monitor this process to ensure that the wood does not start to singe or burn. When finished, set the wood aside and allow it to cool. If you don’t want to bother with extensive cleaning methods and if you plan to use your wood for a project, you might consider simply applying a varnish or coating to the wood as is. Any grains present on the wood will lead to an uneven finish, but the coating itself will sanitize the wood to some extent.
A: Boil it. Bake the wood in the oven. Apply a sealant.

Article: Using imagery helps improve self-confidence. Try an imagery technique where you focus on achieving confidence. Visualize yourself as completely self-confident and accomplishing your goal. What are you doing? What Is going on around you? What does it feel like? Who is there? What you are thinking about? Goal-setting increases self-confidence because it makes us feel like we are working toward something positive. Focus on what goals you have for the current situation. For example, perhaps your goal in giving your presentation is to clearly explain your message, make sure you got your point across, and appear confident.  The more goals you achieve, the more confident you may become.  Think about the purpose of the activity you are doing. Ask yourself, “What do I want to get out of this?” Set specific goals for what you are about to do. Focus on achieving those goals instead of thinking about what might go wrong. A self-fulfilling prophecy is where you believe that something negative will happen, and then you end up influencing that negative thing to occur. For example, if you are so fearful of stumbling over your words, your anxiety about it could actually lead you to make this negative outcome a reality. If you think you are going to stumble, then your anxiety and nervousness increases, and your heart races, and then you cannot focus and you lose your train of thought. Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on what you do want to happen – to speak clearly and get your message across. Think thoughts such as, "I'm going to go in there and be confident, calm, collected, and get my message out." If you find yourself thinking negatively about the situation, try to find someone who will tell you otherwise. Successful people in the area in which you want to increase your confidence can serve as role models.  We can learn from others, treat them as our mentors, and emulate their success and confidence. If you don’t have someone readily available in person, you can call a friend to discuss the situation with.

Use guided imagery or visualization. Be clear on your goals. Trust in a positive outcome. Get another opinion.

Article: One of the first programs taught for any language is the "Hello World" program. This is a very simple program that displays the text "Hello, World" (or some variation), on the screen. This program teaches first-time programmers the syntax to create a basic, functioning program, as well as how to handle displaying output. By changing the text, you can learn how basic data is handled by the program. Below are some wikiHow guides on creating a "Hello World" program in various languages:  Hello World in Python Hello World in Ruby Hello World in C Hello World in PHP Hello World in C# Hello World in Java There are thousands of code examples online for virtually every programming languages. Use these examples to examine how various aspects of the language work and how different parts interact. Take bits and pieces from various examples to create your own programs. The syntax is the way the language is written so that the compiler or interpreter can understand it. Each language has a unique syntax, though some elements may be shared across multiple languages. Learning the syntax is essential for learning how to program in the language, and is often what people think of when they think about computer programming. In reality, it is simply the foundation upon which more advanced concepts are built. Make changes to your example programs and then test the result. By experimenting, you can learn what works and what doesn't much quicker than by reading a book or guide. Don't be afraid to break your program; learning to fix errors is a major part of any development process, and new things almost never work right the first time. When you're programming, you're invariably going to come across bugs. These are errors in the program, and can manifest virtually anywhere. Bugs can be harmless quirks in the program, or they can be major errors that keep the program from compiling or running. Hunting down and fixing these errors is a major process in the software development cycle, so get used to doing this early. As you experiment with changing basic programs, you're going to come across things that don't work. Figuring out how to take a different approach is one of the most valuable skills you can have as a programmer. Nearly all programming languages have a "comment" function that allows you to include text that is not processed by the interpreter or compiler. This allows you to leave short, but clear, human-language explanations of what the code does. This will not only help you remember what your code does in a large program, it is an essential practice in a collaborative environment, as it allows others to understand what your code is doing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Focus on one concept at a time. Learn through deconstruction of online examples. Examine the syntax. Experiment with changes. Start practicing debugging. Comment all of your code.
