Photos from your last camping trip can showcase your adventures, or photos from your child’s first year can be a decoration for a first birthday party. You might also choose an inspirational theme, including pictures of strong women, for example. Some options are jewelry boxes, storage boxes, table tops, pen holders and so on. Take into account how many pictures you have to work with; making a large collage will require lots of pictures., These can come from just about any printed material, from magazines, newspapers, old books, or postcards. Even fabric can be used in collages. If you are doing a photo collage, you should select the best photos that represent the event or convey the theme you’re going for. Depending on how large your collage is, you may need to choose 10-20 pictures, or you may need 50 pictures or more.  Consider how large you want your pictures to be in your final collage. The pictures do not need to be the same size, nor do they need to be the same shape. In fact, a range of sizes and shapes will give more dimension to your collage and make it more interesting to the eye. Think about if you want a certain picture to dominate the collage and have subordinate pictures surrounding it, for example. You don’t need to always choose pictures of people. Adding in pictures of details (a bridge or road, a plate of cookies, a deck of cards from a poker game) can add dimension to your collage. These add to the overall sense you’re trying to convey in your collage. Because you are creating a collage of many pictures, you can afford to include some background or detail pictures. Your collage will look better if you have high quality images with sharp resolution (at least 300 dpi; 600 dpi for larger photos). Have on hand the following supplies to keep you focused on the artistry of your collage: scissors, X-acto knife, glue or other adhesive, paintbrush, pencil, plain paper, and your pictures. Start deciding how you want to place your pictures. What parts of the pictures do you want to include or leave...

Physical activity has been shown to be very supportive of weight loss, not to mention the many other health benefits that come with being active. Even if you can't spend an hour at the gym, walking more throughout the day, even a small amount, can have a positive effect on your weight loss.  You may want to consider purchasing a pedometer or downloading a pedometer app on your smartphone. This can give you an idea of how many steps you currently take each day and give a starting place to add in more steps. Many health professionals recommend that you get about 10,000 steps in (about 5 miles or 8 km) each day. This might not be possible right away but you can start with 5,000 steps per day and add 1,000 steps to your goal each week until you reach 10,000 steps per day.  To get in more steps throughout the day, consider: taking a short walk break at lunch, parking farther away, walking to a restroom farther away, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or delivering messages in person instead of email. You can even try: taking multiple trips to bring groceries or other packages inside, taking the stairs multiple times, planning to walk to destinations that are short in distance, walking a lap or two at the mall before you start shopping or walking while you talk on the phone or brush your teeth. Another way to be more active and help your body burn calories is by trying to stand more often than you sit.  Stand at work if you can. Stand during meetings, stand at your desk, or stand while you're on a conference call. At home, stand when you're watching TV or get up and stand or walk around during commercial breaks. Studies have shown that standing helps keep your heart rate elevated and therefore helps your body burn more calories per hour than sitting. Although you may not have a lot of time for planned physical activity each day or week, even taking a few minutes every day to be active can help.  Try just taking a 10 minute exercise or walk break during the day. Most people have 10 minutes to themselves that...

Physical exercise can help you avoid weight gain and high blood pressure, both of which put unnecessary pressure on your kidneys. Keeping your body healthy can help your kidneys function properly. Aim to get at least 20 minutes of physical activity each day.  Look for an activity that you enjoy. For example, if you like to walk, recruit a friend and schedule a standing date to explore your neighborhood. If you like to swim, look for a community pool in your area. If you're new to exercise, consult your doctor before beginning any program. . If you smoke, quitting can help improve not only your overall health, but it will greatly benefit your kidneys. Smoking impedes blood flow to vital organs, including your kidneys. This means that they cannot effectively flush toxins from your body. Quitting smoking is hard, but there are many resources you can use. Ask your doctor about medication or nicotine cessation products such as gum or patches. While there are many benefits to medications, there can also be side effects. Some prescription medications have been known to cause damage to the kidneys. Make sure to discuss this possibility whenever your doctor issues you a prescription. Over-the-counter pain killers — especially the NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, Aleve, and Motrin — can also cause damage to the kidneys if taken on a regular basis. They are fine for occasional use, but talk to your doctor about alternatives if you need to treat chronic pain and have concerns about your kidney health. Acetaminophen is a kidney-safe NSAID.

Physical signs of abuse are often the easiest to spot, since they can be difficult for a child to hide. The marks of physical abuse aren't always distinguishable from the cuts and scrapes that are a part of normal childhood. However, if you notice the following physical signs more than once, be on high alert to determine whether the child is being abused:  The child has unexplained injuries, cuts, bruises, or welts. The child has injuries that appear to have been caused by a hand, a belt or another weapon. The child flinches or shies away from touch. The child appears to be trying to cover up injuries with clothing. Not all abuse is physical, and even when it is, it has deep emotional effects as well. A child's behavior can be one of the most telling warning signs that he or she is enduring an abusive situation. Pay attention to the following behaviors, especially if the child has never acted this way before:  The child is withdrawn and fearful, and seems anxious about doing something wrong. The child vacillates between being extremely passive and extremely demanding or aggressive. The child seems afraid of or unattached to his or her caregiver. The child seems afraid to go home. The child acts inappropriate for his or her age. Either he or she acts too much like an adult (excessively serious or worried about responsibilities) or too childish (prone to throwing tantrums or thumb-sucking). Neglect is a form of abuse that can be more difficult to spot. A child who is the victim of neglect may not be physically abused, but he or she may not be living in a safe environment. Look for the following signs:  The child's clothes are dirty, ill-fitting, or not sufficient for the weather. The child is often unbathed, has unwashed hair, and has body odor. The child doesn't seem to get sufficient treatment for illnesses and other problems. The child is often unsupervised and left in unsafe situations. The child doesn't regularly attend school. Sexual abuse is a form of physical abuse that isn't always plain to see, but...

Physical touch, like cuddling, is essential to forming a bond with your blind or visually impaired infant. Since they are unable to see you smile or wave, speak with a higher, exaggerated pitch to communicate positivity. Even though your infant doesn’t understand words yet, they will begin to associate the sound with your presence. For example, before picking your child up, gently rub their arm or stomach and say, “I’m going to pick you up now.” They’ll come to understand that these touches and sounds mean they’re about to be lifted. Despite their blindness or visual impairment, your infant is no more fragile than any other child their age. Tickle, hug, rock, and kiss them as you would any other baby. If they have head control or can sit up, bounce them on your knee or play as you would with a sighted child. This will help them adapt to their visual disability without feeling too different as they progress through infancy and early childhood. . Blind and visually impaired children can have difficulty going to sleep. The key is to stick to the same daily routine: wake up, feed your infant, schedule naps, and put them to bed at the same times every day without deviating.  Placing a comfort object, like a plush toy or stuffed animal, in their crib can help relax your infant and let them know it’s time to sleep. However, be sure to remove any object such as blankets or toys once they fall asleep to avoid SIDS risks.  When you put your infant down for a nap, tell them, “It’s still daytime, so this is just a nap.” They won’t yet understand the words, but using this and other phrases early on will help them develop pre-literacy skills. As your infant develops, they’ll start reaching and using their hands and mouth to understand their world even more than a sighted infant. Make sure anything within their grasp is too big to be swallowed. Take extra precautions as they become more mobile:  Keep hazards like window treatments’ cords out of reach. Install sturdy baby gates at staircases’ tops and bottoms and anywhere...

Pick 2-3 accent colors that complement your furniture and wall color, and choose accessories that follow the color scheme. The main accent color should appear in the room at least 3 times to really stand out.  For example, if your seating is gray, and your walls are white or tan, you might choose turquoise and yellow as your accent colors. If most of your furniture is brown, you might pick warmer colors, like burgundy and violet, as your accents. As an alternative to using accent colors, choose a monochromatic theme. You could do your living room all in neutrals or shades of blue, for instance. Most pieces of art and fabrics are designed with color theory in mind, so they’re great for inspiring a theme. Pick 2-3 main colors from the item, and think about why you like the style of that particular item.  For example, you might have an old painting of an open field with a farmhouse that incorporates green, grey, and pastel blue. You could create a rustic farmhouse theme that includes those colors as accents, and position the painting as the focal point of the room. Alternatively, use a favorite piece of furniture for inspiration. For example, design the room based off of a floral-patterned sofa with curved lines. Start by picking out the most neutral color in your color scheme, like a tan, light gray, pastel yellow, or light blue. Carefully prime, and then paint all of the walls with 2-3 coats of your chosen color. If you don’t have a lot of painting experience, consider hiring a professional for the job.  Try to paint the room before you place your furniture, or be sure to protect the furniture with cloths or tarps. If you know you’re going to be living in the home for more than 5 years, feel free to experiment with bolder colors. Use a neutral paint color if you want a versatile space or like to change your decor every so often. Wallpaper is an excellent way to draw attention to one area of the room. Choose a bold, large print that incorporates 1-2 colors in your scheme, and a neutral color such as black,...

Pick a gel stain in a color darker than the initial paint color. Avoid applying light stains over dark paint, as the stain will be less likely to show up on the surface. Not every stain absorbs well over paint, so gel stain is your best option for a rich, even color. Dip a foam brush in the gel stain and paint a small section of the object's surface. Inspect the stain coating while you brush the first stroke to make sure you like the color before coating the entire object. Avoid using polyurethane or wax-based stains over painted objects, as they're less likely to absorb over the paint. Once you've finished the first brush stroke, continue painting the object from one end to the other, overlapping your strokes for even coverage. Apply the gel stain in thin, even strokes to prevent streaks or a bumpy surface after the object dries. Start in an inconspicuous area of the object so that if you don't like the stain's color, you can easily remove it and apply a new one. After applying the first coat, the stain coverage should be thin and even. Check the gel stain for any thick areas and use staining pads to wipe off any residual gel stain. For a brighter color that preserves the paint's natural hue, apply thinner coats of the gel stain.

Pick a good sleeping position. Light suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone your brain secretes to make you sleepy. Eliminating as much light as possible can boost melatonin production and help you get to sleep.  Draw your blinds or curtains to block out any street lights. If it's still too bright you can wear a sleep mask (or even drape a t-shirt over your eyes if you don't have one). Just like animals going into hibernation, our body temperature lowers as we fall asleep. A cool environment can help ease your body into a state that is optimal for slumber.  If you have control of your thermostat, make sure you adjust the temperature at night to a comfortable, cool setting. If you don't have air conditioning, or if you share a house or apartment and can't adjust the temperature of your room, try cracking a window or using fans to lower the temperature if it's too hot. If it's too cold you can use a hot water bottle, heating pad, or an extra blanket to warm things up. Traffic, rowdy neighbors, snoring partners and barking dogs are just a few of the things outside of your control that may keep you awake. Combat distracting sounds by blocking them out with earplugs or drowning them out with another, more calming sound.  Turn on a fan, turn on a sound machine, or tune your radio between stations to create white noise, a steady, monotonous sound that can effectively mask the noises that stimulate our brains and disturb our sleep. If you don't have a fan or sound machine, there are many phone apps you can download with sounds like waterfalls, thunderstorms, or ocean waves to lull you to sleep. Breathing deeply is a simple, quick way to calm your body and soothe anxiety. Inhale deeply through your nose an exhale through your mouth. If you find you are having obsessive, circular, or anxious thoughts, try getting them down on paper.

Pick a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo so it adds moisture to your hair. The natural oils in your hair keep your curls shiny and weighed down. Shampooing too often can dry your hair out and make your curls more frizzy.  Shampoos that contain sulfates are too drying for curly hair. They can leave your curls looking dull and frizzy.  Avoid using clarifying shampoos since they remove the most moisture from your hair. On days where you don’t shampoo, only rinse your hair with water when you bathe. Make sure your hair is slightly damp when you apply the conditioner so more moisture locks in. Work the conditioner into your hair with your fingers, being sure to reach it down to your scalp. Once you apply the conditioner, you can either style your hair or blow dry it. Longer hair will require more conditioner since it’s easier for the ends to become damaged. Pick a wide-toothed comb to work your curls without damaging them. Fine-toothed combs will catch snags in your hair as well as make your curls frizzy.  Fine-toothed combs can also rip out your hair follicles and make you lose your hair faster. You can also work your hair with your hands to avoid using a comb altogether. Use a microfiber towel since they are more gentle with your hair. Pat your hair dry instead of vigorously rubbing it with the towel. Being rough with a towel can pull and tangle your hair.  If you have the time, it’s best to let your hair air dry. If you shower at night, wrap your hair in a microfiber towel or old T-shirt while you sleep. Though it’s best to let your hair air dry, if you’re in a rush you can blow dry it with low heat. Use the diffuser attachment so it works into your hair and dries it more thoroughly. The diffuser attachment will help set and define your curls, as well as control frizziness. Using heat on your curls will dry your hair out, especially if you have used mousse or alcohol-based products. Fight the dryness of your hair with conditioner.

Pick a mug that is festive for the occasion, whether it's around Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Valentine's Day. Trace the bottom of the mug over a piece of thick Styrofoam and cut the Styrofoam and place it snugly into the bottom of the mug. You can even try to glue the Styrofoam into the bottom of the mug, but then you -- or the person you're giving it to -- won't be able to use it once all the candy is eaten. Make the dough for chocolate chip, gingerbread, oatmeal raisin, or any other cookies that you like. Before you put them into the oven, cut a small hole in the bottom of the cookies and insert a wooden popsicle stick in each one. It's a good idea to bake a few extra cookies in case some of them break or don't stay on the popsicle stick. Give the cookies at least 10-15 minutes to cool off and harden before you try placing them in the bouquet. Spread the cookies out evenly so they stick out neatly above the mug. They can stick out at different angles and heights, as long as the bouquet looks visually appealing. Place wrapped candy that goes well with the cookies, such as Reese's peanut butter cups or individually-wrapped Milky Ways, into the bottom of the mug, and place some brown tissue paper on top to cover the candy and Styrofoam.

Pick a piece of construction paper that's nice and sturdy and a bright and happy color, like yellow. Use scissors to cut at least six petals that are at least four inches long. If you like, you can lightly draw the petal shape with a pencil and then cut around the inside of the shape to avoid pencil marks. You can also use one of the petals as a template to cut the rest of the petals, or create six slightly unique shapes -- after all, the petals on a real flower aren't the exact same length, either.  If you want to give a little extra texture to the petals, you can roll them around a pencil to make them curl upwards. You can also consider using tissue paper for the petals, or using a mix of tissue paper and actual petals. If you'd like to create less of a 3-D effect, then you can just cut one flower shape with all of the six petals connected at the center. " Find a thin stick in your backyard, use a wooden chopstick, buy a "stem" from a craft store, or take an ordinary straw and paint it brown. The stem should be proportional to the flower, so hold them up together to make sure the stem isn't too long or too short. Using a real stick may be the most authentic move, but keep in mind that it won't be as clean as something you can find at home, and that it may be harder to attach it to leaves or petals.

Pick a plan that works best based on your running abilities and goals. If you've never run before, your training routine will be different from the routine of someone who is a champion sprinter and wants to run a 5K in under 25 minutes. Check out online running resources to see which training schedule works for you. Once you pick your plan, you should write it into your planner so you know what you're doing every day for the next eight weeks. Don't wear yourself out by running and training every day. Pick two days that are far enough apart that fit your schedule. Typical rest days are Mondays and Fridays. You should ideally cross-train one or two days every week. Cross-training is anything from biking or swimming to using elliptical at the gym. Plug two days of cross training into your routine, but take one of them off to rest if you need to. Stretching will maximize your performance and prevent injury. Run the same distance for 2 days a week, such as Mondays and Thursdays, and build toward running a slightly longer distance on your long run day, which will be a Saturday or Sunday. Here is what your training should look like if you are able to run one mile before you start training:  Run one mile on the Tuesday and Thursday of the first week, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) on the first Saturday of that week. On the second week, run 1.5 miles (2.4 km) on Tuesday and Thursday and then 1.75 miles (2.82 km) on Saturday, and so on. By the seventh week, you should be running 2 or 3 miles (3.2 or 4.8 km) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 3 miles (4.8 km) by Saturday. On the last week, you can train during the week but rest on the day before the race instead of doing your long run. Go online to find a way to measure the distance of the streets in your town. You can also run these distances on a treadmill, but running outside is optimal for race training.

You'll generally want to pick a song that's popular enough to receive attention, but not so popular that several people have already created lyric videos. Avoid using recently released music, as artists often request that their recent songs be unavailable anywhere but on their official pages. if you don't already have it.

The easiest way to find accurate, verified lyrics for your song is by going to the Genius website at https://genius.com/, entering your song name into the search bar in the top-left corner of the screen, and reviewing the results.  You can also just type your song's name and the word "lyrics" (e.g., three little birds lyrics) into a search engine.

Pick a store that you know well in order to easily locate your particular item. Or, go to a store outside of your neighborhood in order to avoid running into people you know. Try going to a specialty sex-shop. The best part of buying from these types of locations is that you can easily play it off like you are buying a joke gift for a friend, or a party favor for a bachelorette party. This could also reduce your sense that someone may be judging you negatively by your purchase. Going with a friend or partner can help deflect some of your embarrassment by serving as a social buffer or even a distraction for your embarrassment.   Ask your partner to join you on your trip to the store. Tell a friend you need moral support in buying your embarrassing item. Buying just the personal item can feel like it is drawing attention to yourself and may lead to increased feelings of embarrassment. Instead, buy multiple items in order to camouflage your purchase. Get a bag of chips, gum, or soda to lessen the embarrassment. The more items the better. Using coping strategies when buying sex-related items, such as going to a checkout stand with a similar person to yourself (the same gender and around the same age as you), can reduce embarrassment. This is a very common coping resource for avoiding embarrassment in purchasing personal products. It can be very embarrassing to checkout sexual items with a different sex or someone with a huge age difference. If you can't find someone like you, try to find the person that is the best fit or that you think will produce the least amount of embarrassment for you. This helps to draw less attention to yourself, and reduces the likelihood of engaging the cashier in small talk in order to avoid an awkward moment.  Be polite, but avoid too much eye contact or small-talk with the cashier. Look at a magazine in the checkout stand. Text or be on the phone while waiting for checkout.

Pick an easily recognizable sound in track B that plays once or twice per bar. As you play track B at the same time as track A concentrate only on this sound and listen to where it falls on track A. You should start to notice that it either falls behind or races ahead of where it should be on track A.  Although it is easy to notice that the tracks are not at the same tempo, it may be difficult to determine which one is going faster or slower than the other. After a time the tracks will be so far apart that it becomes confusing to determine which is slower or faster. If this occurs stop track B and cue it to start over again. Use the pitch control slider to speed up or slow down track B. If you have not corrected enough and the drift still occurs then continue moving the pitch slider in the same direction. If you have gone too far and over-corrected then the correct pitch is somewhere in between your two pitch values and you can push the pitch slider in the opposite direction to find the perfect pitch.  On a CD player you will adjust pitch (called “pitch bending”) in the same way as on a vinyl turntable. The only difference is that you will be able to see a very accurate pitch percentage in the display, which can help with adjustments. If the tracks get so far apart that you can no longer tell which is faster or slower, then stop and cue up track B once more. This will happen a lot at the beginning; be patient and try again. If they do not drift until after 20-30 seconds that you have successfully beatmatched. Beatmatching perfectly (lasting minutes or more without drifting) is very hard to attain and not necessary. If after 20-30 seconds the two tracks begin to drift you can always adjust them a bit more. Once you play an actual party you will be so good at noticing the differences that you will adjust any misalignments before dancers even hear them.

Dump enough kitty litter to fill your suitcase about halfway. Sprinkle very liberal amounts of baking soda or coffee grounds to cover the entire bottom of the suitcase. With the charcoal, add a few lumps to the suitcase. Close your suitcase and leave it for about a week. After a week, open your suitcase and check that the smell is gone. Carefully dump the material in the garbage. Vacuum up any remaining material. If some smell remains, put a small bowl of baking soda in your suitcase and close it up for another few days. Combine white vinegar and water in a 1:3 ratio. Put this in a spray bottle. Use it to spray the inside of your suitcase. Leave the suitcase open and let the vinegar and water solution air dry. You can try this with lemon juice instead of vinegar. Use enough newspaper to fill the whole inside of the suitcase. Close the lid and leave it for a week or two. Speed up the odor absorption by replacing the newspaper every few days.  Add some active charcoal to accelerate the absorption process. Put a piece of white bread in a shallow bowl. Pour white vinegar over the bread to saturate it. Put the bowl in your suitcase and shut the suitcase. Let it sit for 24 hours to absorb the smell.

Popsicle sticks, legos, or wooden blocks would also work. Avoid sharp objects or objects with sharp corners. Do not use objects that are different shapes or colors, as this can confuse your child. You can write the numbers 1-10 on flashcards or use math flashcards with numbers printed on them. You can also use a deck of UNO cards as long as they only have one number on them. Make sure the numbers are clearly printed, large, and easy for your child to see. Put the objects in a pile. Then, flip over a flashcard with a number on it. Have your child count out the same number of objects from the pile. You may count with them at first to help them get the hang of the numbers.  For example, if you flip over a flashcard that says “5,” you may then instruct your child to count out five of the objects. Keep doing this with different flashcards. Have your child count the objects out several times to different numbers so they get a hang of the math. Put out one flashcard and encourage them to count out the objects to the first number in a pile. Then, pull out a second flashcard and tell them, “Now, how much would we have if we add this amount?” Have them add the corresponding number of objects to the pile. For example, if you put out a flashcard that says “3,” you would first instruct your child to count out three objects. Then, if you pull out a flashcard that says “2,” have them add two more objects to the three objects. Finish by counting out the total number of objects in the pile together so it equals “5.” Once they get the hang of adding to the pile of objects, have them remove objects to learn how to subtract. Show them the number on first flashcard and have them count out the objects. Then, show them another flashcard and say, “Now, what we would we get if we take away this number from the pile?” Give them time to subtract...

Pick one that gets at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day. Collards need lots of light to grow well. If you want to plant in containers, you can move them during the day to make sure that they get plenty of sun. Go with an area where the soil drains, without any muddy spots or pooled water. On the other hand, the soil should not drain so much that it becomes bone dry and dusty. For a simple test of your soil’s drainage:  Remove the bottom and top of a coffee can. Dig a hole that is 4 inches (10 cm) deep in your soil. Place the can in the hole. Pack soil around it so that it is secure in the ground. Fill the can with water. After an hour has passed, come back and measure how much the water has dropped down in the can. If at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water has escaped within the hour, then your soil drains well and is perfect for collards. Collard greens tolerate a range of soil pH’s, with estimates ranging from 6.0 to 7.5. You can purchase a soil pH testing kit from a garden supply store. There are two main types: digital probes and paper strips.  Follow the instructions included with your kit for exact details about testing the soil pH. You can also contact your local county or cooperative extension agency for tips on measuring your soil’s pH. Take a spade and go over the soil. Go down to a depth of about 10 inches (25 cm). Remove any sticks or rocks that you find. If you are using potting soil, then just dump it out in a container and break up any clumps. Collards can tolerate a variety of soil types, but they should all contain plenty of organic matter. If your soil has lots of clay or sand, once it is nice and loose, dump compost on top until there is a layer about 4 inches (10 cm) thick. Use your spade to mix some into the first layer of soil. If you don't have compost, you can use manure instead.

Pick out a mix of colorful paper. The crepe paper should be relatively thick, so don't just buy tissue paper instead. While tissue paper may be easier to find, it's not strong enough for this project. Make sure you have several pieces of crepe paper piled on top of each other, as you will need to have several circles the same size. This is easiest to do by layering several pieces on top of each other and drawing the circle once, imprinting the circle onto the lower layers with the pressure of the pencil.  To make a compass simply gather a thumbtack, a piece of string that is at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) long, and the pencil you are using to draw the circle. Tie the string to the middle of the pencil. Measure the string off the pencil 6 inches (15.2 cm) and hold that spot. Then attach the other end of the string to the thumbtack right at the 6 inch (15.2 cm) mark. Place the thumbtack in the approximate middle of the crepe paper you are using and stretch out the string until it is taut. Begin drawing the circle with the pencil, keeping the string taut and the thumbtack securely placed in the middle of the paper. There are other ways to draw a circle, such as tracing something the right size. For this project, you can simply trace a record, as it's 12 inches (30.5 cm) in diameter. Be careful not to damage the record while you are using it, especially if it's an album you love. You can either hold the layers of paper together and cut once, or you can separate them and cut each out individually. The choice is yours. Just be sure to make the circle really round. This will help to make your paper beret really look like a beret. The circumference of this circle should be the same as the head of the person you are making the beret for. Be sure to center the smaller circle correctly, so that the hole will be placed accurately. Once drawn, cut out the inner circle. You will not be using the inner part of the circle at all, only the outside, so you can damage the inside but don't damage the outside while cutting. You can...

Pick out any rocks and any extra shriveled or crushed beans. The damaged beans won't cook properly, so it's best to remove them. If you want to be sure to catch them all, pour them onto a flat surface like a cooking sheet. Don't obsess over each bean; it's not a disaster if you don't catch every one. Rinse the dried beans in room temperature water and place them in a large pot. . After rinsing, fill the pot with water (at least twice as much volume as the beans fill) and soak the beans using one of two methods:   Overnight soaking: simply leave the beans in water for 8-12 hours. This method is the best for ensuring the beans absorb enough water to cook evenly all the way through.   Quick soak: bring the pot of water and beans to a boil, then turn off the burner and let soak 1 hour. This will do the job much faster, but the beans won't cook as evenly. The beans will expand as they absorb water, so leave space in the pot. Broken and split beans will rise to the water's surface. Remove these. The water you used to soak the beans now contains dirt as well as some of the complex sugars that cause gassiness. Using a new pot of water to cook the beans is recommended. Cover the beans with fresh water and boil 30 minutes. You can add spices for additional flavor, or leave them plain so the canned beans have greater versatility.  Don't cook the beans as long as they would usually take (normally 60-90 minutes or more). The canning process will finish cooking the beans. Optional: Add approximately 1/4 tsp (1mL) salt per pint (500 mL) of beans to better preserve color and flavor.  Good ingredients for adding flavor to beans include garlic, red pepper, cumin, coriander, and lemongrass. Don't use all of these at once!

Pick out any stems that are slimy or discolored. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Then, cut off the hard or “woody” stems at the bottom. This part of the stem will be darker brown in color than the rest of the cream/white mushroom.  Don’t rinse the mushrooms until you are ready to cook them. When you store enoki mushrooms in the fridge, keep them away from water or other liquids as they will get slimy. Put on the lid of the pan and turn the heat to medium. After 5 minutes, turn the heat to low. Keep heat low (beneath a boil) for 1 hour to soften the kelp for your soup. After the hour has passed, remove the kelp and discard it. Try to not brush off the white powder on the kelp as this is what adds flavor. You’ll need 1⁄4  c (59 mL) of brown miso paste, 1⁄2 US tbsp (7.4 mL) of sriracha hot sauce, 1 chopped clove of garlic, 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of coconut oil, and 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of maple syrup. Stir for 4-5 minutes to dissolve all the ingredients.  If you don’t have maple syrup, you can substitute 1⁄2 US tbsp (7.4 mL) of brown sugar. Sriracha can be substituted with 1⁄2 US tbsp (7.4 mL) of gochujang (Korean red paste). Sriracha generally has a little bit more heat than gochujang, but the gochujang has a deeper and more savory flavor to it. You can use 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of sesame oil instead of coconut oil. Sesame oil has a more distinct smell and flavor and generally gives a more “toasted” flavor, whereas the coconut oil often isn’t discernible in a dish. Add the vegetables and increase the heat to medium-high to get a simmer. This step softens the mushrooms and cabbage while giving all the flavors a chance to incorporate into each other. Cooking the mushrooms and cabbage for too long will eventually cause them to get rubbery, so don’t leave the pot on the stove for too long! Be careful not to splash yourself when you transfer the hot liquid. Add as much or as little green onion as you prefer. Turn off the burner unless you want to keep the soup heated for a while. If you do want...

Pick some absorbent fabric for the body of the burp cloth, such as terry, minky, or flannel. Next, pick some patterned cotton fabric for the center strip. It can be baby or nursery-themed, or just something you find pretty. Avoid using dryer sheets when drying your fabric, as they may make your fabric less-absorbent. Don't cut your fabric first; it may end up shrinking by quite a bit! Cut the absorbent fabric into a 12 by 16-inch (30.48 by 40.64-centimeter) rectangle. Cut the patterned fabric into a 5 by 16-inch (12.7 by 40.64-centimeter) strip. Set the absorbent fabric aside for now. Turn the fabric so that the wrong side is facing you. Fold the long edges down by ¼ inch (0.64 centimeters), and secure them with sewing pins. Press the edges flat with an iron, then remove the sewing pins. Make sure that the patterned fabric is centered, and that the narrow edges are aligned with the narrow edges of the absorbent fabric. Once you are happy with the placement, pin the fabric in place. Use a thread color that matches your patterned fabric, and a bobbin color that matches your absorbent fabric. Pull the pins put as you go. This will longer than you actually need to wrap around the edges of your burp cloth, but it's better to have something be too long than too short. Remember, it is always easier to cut down something that is too long than to add length to something that is too short! You can also use ½-inch (0.27-centimeter) double-fold bias tape instead. Wrap the sides of the ribbon tape over the edges of the burp cloth, so that it looks the same on both sides. Pin the ribbon in place as you go. If you are using bias tape: Open up the bias tape first, then fold the end under by ½ inch (0.27 centimeters). After that, wrap it around the burp cloth, tucking the edges of the cloth into the fold of the bias tape. Try to get as close to the inner edge as you can, and remove the pins as you go. To prevent the thread from unraveling, backstitch a few times at the start and end of your sewing.

Pick someone in your life that you think is a little bad or complicated. Choose a celebrity or a notorious criminal from the news as a model for the villain. Combine parts of several people to create the villain. For example, you may use a serial killer from your hometown as the inspiration for your villain. Or you may pick a relative who did horrible things as the model for your villain. Think about what you fear most and then use that fear to come up with a villain for your story. Maybe you fear death, and you make your villain an embodiment of death. Or maybe you fear spiders, so your villain is a giant spider. If you are afraid of your villain on some level, your reader will feel this and respond to it. For example, the villain in Stephen King’s Misery is inspired by his addiction to drugs and alcohol. King was afraid of his addiction so he turned it into a villain for his novel. Your villain should share similar traits and qualities as the protagonist, or hero, of your story. They may share them same childhood experiences or feel the same sense of loneliness in the world. You can make their morals and values different, but they should also have some overlap so the reader can sympathize with both characters. For example, you may have a villain who shares the same need to belong or feel wanted by their family as the protagonist has. The villain may decide to take violent action to achieve their goal, while the protagonist tries peaceful action instead. Abstract concepts can be difficult for readers to grasp and make them feel little empathy or sympathy. Avoid them, as they can be difficult to get readers to connect to. If you do want to use an abstract concept as the villain, make the concept into a character the reader can see on the page. For example, you may use a sinister businessman to represent a corporation. Or you may use an arms dealer as a representation of war. Look at villains in several genres of writing. Notice how the author makes the villain believable and engaging for the reader. Pay...

Pick something fun that will appeal to the age group you’re throwing the party for. For young girls, a princess theme or fairy theme might appeal to them. For older children, you could throw a more sophisticated Victorian tea party. Other possible themes are Alice in Wonderland, Strawberry Shortcake, flowers and herbs, or your child’s favorite color. The number of children you invite will depend upon your space. If you have tons of room (and patience) you can invite your child’s entire class. But if you want to stick to a budget and not have to invest in extra chairs or tables, help your child edit the list of invitees to as many people as you can fit around the table. Another guideline is to use your child’s age as the magic number. So if your child is six, stick to a maximum of about six guests. Weekend parties held during the day are often easiest for parents and children alike. Choose whether a morning tea party or an afternoon tea party best fits the ages and schedules of the children attending. Avoid 1-3 pm since this tends to be nap time for young kids. Be sure to include an end time on the invitation so that parents know they need to pick up their child at a specific time. For children, the cuter and more colorful, the better. Make your invitations to match the theme. For example, if you’re modeling your party after the tea party in Alice in Wonderland, you could cut your invitations in the shape of the Mad Hatter’s hat. For a princess party, use an old-looking font and language like “Hear ye! Hear ye!” Include a note encouraging children to dress up to match the theme, or just wear their fanciest clothes. If you’re mailing your invitations, send them 3-4 weeks in advance. If you’re hand delivering them to the children’s parents or sending out an evite, two weeks is enough time.

Pick something that will be easy for you to use and that you like being called. Practice signing your new name to get used to the feel of it. Try introducing yourself with your new name to some strangers to see whether or not it feels natural.  You won't be able to change your name if you're avoiding bankruptcy by pretending to be someone else, your new name violates a trademark, the name uses numbers or symbols, or the name includes obscene words. Consider adopting a generic name. If you want to make it difficult to find you, changing your name to something common, like "Jim Smith" or "Ashley Johnson" would be good. Most states require you to fill out a petition listing your reasons for wanting to change your name. Go to the courthouse or your state's courts website to obtain the proper forms, then have the form notarized and filed by a clerk at the courthouse. The petition will be submitted to a judge, so make sure it explains your reasoning completely and correctly. If you're an immigrant, ex-convict or attorney, you'll need an affidavit of service of notification to authorities in addition to your petition. Most hearings are fairly straightforward, but the judge might have a few questions for you. Try to answer clearly and honestly. Lay out your reasons for wanting to change your identity.  If the judge denies your request, get a copy of the denial and try again. If the judge approves your request, you'll be granted a name change court order, probably given to you by your local civil court clerk. Make a copy for your records. Using the documentation from your hearing, obtain a new driver's license or passport so that you'll have identification. Change the name on any car titles or loan documents on record. Doing this ahead of time will make getting a new Social Security Card much easier.

Pick up a few interior design magazines like Home Decor and Country Living to help get you started. These magazines will not only give you some helpful hints on choosing colors but will also be full of pictures of professionally designed rooms that can give you a clear idea of what you want. You can also search online on sites like HGTV or Pinterest for some insight and inspiration. You can also visit furniture stores and home decor shops to see what's in season and on trend. An easy way to choose a color for a sofa is to base it off other colors already in the room. Using complementary colors on the color wheel will guarantee a match and take out some of the guesswork in trying to find the perfect sofa shade.  For example, if you have a lot of orange in the room via lamps, rugs, or paintings, then a couch which has a blue hue would be a great addition. Or, if you have a large violet-colored tapestry, try a chartreuse or green sofa. You could also choose colors in the same family as your existing decor. if you have cool-colored wood floors, try a cool-colored couch. A black sofa would look great with gray flooring. If you're working with a new or empty room, you may want to pick a sofa in a neutral color so you can easily build off of it when decorating the rest of the space. As a sofa is usually the centerpiece of a room, try making it stand out. Pick bold jewel-tones like jade, ruby, and sapphire or a contrasting color to make the sofa pop. For example, if you have bright white carpet, pick a dark gray sofa or something black. You can also pick large patterns like floral prints or chevron stripes to bring the sofa into the forefront. Be mindful if choosing a particular pattern, though. Different fabrics can cause a sofa to cost more in the long run. A sofa in a neutral color like cream, gray, or navy will look great in any room. You can also easily change the look of your sofa by adding throws or pillows. For instance, you could jazz up a gray sofa with a red blanket and a few pillows with a red and white...

Pick up those watercolors. Write a short story. Plan a trip to Mombasa. Have dinner with a family member. Start cracking jokes. Open up. Tell the truth. Whatever it is that you've decided you want to be or do, start being and doing it now.  You may shake your head and come up with excuses such as "no time," "no money," "family responsibilities," etc. Instead of using these as excuses, start planning around the hurdles in your life. You can free up time, find money, and get a break from duties if you make time how to plan and find the courage to ask for these things. Sometimes, the real you is too afraid to face the practicalities because it'd mean facing up to what you've limited yourself by. Start planning what you really want to do and investigating what needs to be done to get you to that point instead of flinging excuses at them, stopping the goals and dreams dead in their tracks. Finding yourself is a journey, not a destination. A lot of it is trial and error. That's the price you pay in return for the satisfaction you receive: More often than not, you hit a bump in the road, and sometimes you fall flat on your face. Be prepared to understand and accept that this is a part of the process, and commit to getting right back up and starting over. It's not going to be easy — it never has been for anybody — but if you learn to see that as a chance to prove how much you want to find yourself, then you'll find fulfillment and security in your pursuit. When you know yourself, most people will respect you more and treat you kindly. Best of all, your light will shine on both you and others, making them (and you) feel even more certain about your sense of self. Mahatma Gandhi once said that "the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Being introspective without reaching out to others can cause you to navel-gaze and shut yourself off from others. Service to other people and to the community is the ultimate way to find purpose and a sense of your place in the world. When you see how...

Pick up your hair dryer, or if you have one, a heat gun. Blow hot air directly onto the dent. Give it a good minute or so under the heat. You need to really heat up the metal. This process will cause the metal to expand. Once you let it cool, the metal will contract, and it may pop back smooth. As you probably know, dry ice is very, very cold. Because it's so cold, you may be able to get the metal to contract with it, fixing the dent. All you do is hold the ice to the dent, though you may want to wrap the ice in a soft cloth to protect your refrigerator from scratches. Keep it in place for a good minute or until you can see the metal is cold. Be sure to put on protective gloves. Dry ice will burn your fingers as surely as a hot stove.

Pick young, fresh cauliflower at its peak to freeze. The florets should be tight and white. Avoid heads with brown spots or limp parts. When you thaw cauliflower that was frozen after its peak, you won't be impressed with the flavor and texture.  You can pick your own cauliflower or buy it from a farmer's market for optimum freshness. Avoid freezing very large heads or heads that have already been stored at room temperature for awhile. Use cool running water to rinse away any dirt, bugs and pesticides that have gotten trapped in the cauliflower's tight florets. If you picked the cauliflower, you might want to submerge it in a bowl of warm water to make sure you wash out all the nooks and crannies. Watch carefully, as spiders like to hide in between the flowers. The green leaves can be discarded. Only the white florets will be frozen. Use a sharp knife to trim away any brown spots. Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets for easy freezing. You can also use your hands to split the florets apart.  If you prefer, you can cut the cauliflower into larger or smaller pieces. Think ahead about what you might make with the cauliflower when you're deciding how to cut it. If you anticipate using it to make cauliflower soup, it doesn't matter whether the pieces are uniform, since they'll be pureed. If you're going to use it to make a roasted cauliflower side dish, you might want to make the pieces more uniform for a prettier presentation. If you're worried that the cauliflower florets might contain insects - a common issue with freshly-picked cauliflower - you can take the extra precaution of soaking them in brine. Fill a large bowl with a gallon of tap water and 4 teaspoons of salt. Soak the cauliflower florets for 30 minutes. Any insects will float to the top. Discard the brine and rinse the cauliflower once more.

Pick your favorite type of bread for your sandwich and take 2 slices from the loaf. Use room temperature butter so it’s easier to spread and doesn’t tear your bread. Coat a side of each piece of bread with the butter so it crisps up and doesn’t burn when you put it in the pan. Set your non-stick pan on your stove and turn it on to high heat. Let the pan heat up completely before you put your sandwich on it so you get an even cook. Flick a few drops of water on the pan, and if they sizzle and evaporate right away, your pan’s hot enough for the sandwich. Don’t keep the heat too high on your stove or else it will burn the bread without melting the cheese. Let the bottom of the sandwich cook for 3-4 minutes so the bread gets crispy. Lift the sandwich with a spatula occasionally so you can check the color of the bottom slice. Be careful not to let the bread burn while it’s cooking. Don’t leave your sandwich unattended as it can burn or be a fire risk.

Picking at dry skin around the nail only exacerbates the problem, and often leads to hangnails. Hangnails are generally made up of dead skin around the sides of your nails, but they can include strips from the nail plate if it has become damaged. Hangnails will keep recurring if you continue to pick at the skin around your nails. Biting your nails increases the chances of spreading infection, so try to avoid this too. If you have a hangnail developing you can cut it off early before it grows and becomes an irritant. Before you do this, gently wash your hands and then soak your nails in warm water for five minutes. With your nails still wet, carefully clip the hangnails with nail clippers.  Specialist cuticle scissors can be used for this if you have them.  If it doesn't cut easily be extra careful and always avoid pulling on the skin. Part of caring for your hands and nails, and keeping the skin healthy and free from infections, is cleaning them regularly with soap and water. This is common sense, but it is an important part of caring for your hands and nails so don't neglect it. Try to find a soap that doesn't dry out your skin. Over time, the regular application of nail polish, followed by nail polish remover, can damage your nails and skin. This is especially true if the products you are using are acetone-based, contain formaldehyde, or formaldehyde resin.  These chemicals can cause dryness and irritation which can lead to hangnails. Look for products that are acetone-free. If you find that your hangnails keep recurring, or you are struggling to stick to a good nail care regime, you can make an appointment at the nail salon. You can ask for some advice on preventing hangnails or just get a manicure. Sometimes if a professional does a great job with your nails you will be more inclined to look after them yourself to keep them looking good. Just trimming your nails regularly will help keep them in shape and prevent hangnails. Hangnails are not a serious medical problem, despite the pain and discomfort that...

Picture books are a great option if your child is a visual learner and has a hard time doing mental math. You can find picture books for children that break down math concepts like addition and subtraction at your local library or online. The picture books may use animals or interesting characters to demonstrate math concepts. You may need to look in the children's section or the non-fiction section of your local library to find picture books on math for children. Look for a picture book that is made for your child's age group, such as 0-2 years old or 2-5 years old. Some picture books will also be labeled by grade level, such as kindergarten or grade 1.  You can also get a picture book that has an engaging plot that weaves math into the story if your child is older and can follow along with a plot. You may get a picture book that uses bold visuals so your child stays engaged in the content. Sit down with your child and look through the picture book together. Encourage them to talk to you about the numbers, as well as the addition and subtraction in the book. Some picture books will require reader participation, such as counting the objects in the images or answering questions about addition or subtraction.

Pieces of jewelry with gemstones that are glued into their setting (like many earrings) should not be submerged in water. Warm water can loosen the glue, which can cause your gemstones to fall out, especially when subjected to a thorough brushing. For these types of jewelry, use a special cleaning method that avoids total submersion in water. Allow your jewelry to dry in this way. By letting your jewelry dry upside down, you allow any remaining moisture to drip out, ensuring it won't soak into the setting.

Pigs are smart, crafty, strong, and determined, all of which make them good escape artists. They can dig under, chew through, or knock over fences that aren’t up to snuff, and have been known to figure out how to open a gate latch.  Invest in a sturdy fence — for instance, a chain link fence that’s buried into the ground to discourage digging under it.  No matter how good the fence is, though, make sure to inspect it regularly. A single pig should have at least 36 square meters (roughly 400 square feet) of roaming space. Add about 4.5 square meters (50 square feet) for each additional pig. Pigs aren’t dirty animals per se, but they do indeed love to roll around in the mud from time to time. In fact, since pigs don’t sweat, they need to wallow to ensure the proper regulation of body temperature, particularly in hot weather. The wallow can be very simple — a tilled up section of the yard that you hose down a few times per day — or can be sectioned off with wood of other edging materials.  You can fill a baby pool with water to let your pig cool off and splash around in. Depending on how hot it is, they may even want to use both. Indoor pigs will also enjoy a good wallow every so often; just hose them down when they’re done. For the best results, especially in hot weather, locate the wallow in a shady area. Make sure outdoor pigs have their own dry and sheltered sleeping spot. It needs to be at least partly covered for shading and to stay dry, and should be ventilated but not too breezy. Put down some “flooring” as well — piglets will burrow into hay, while adult pigs are usually happy with wood shavings (not sawdust).  Shelters can be purchased or built (look for instructions online); they should be at least 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m) in size for each adult pig sheltered inside.  Pigs thrive in temperatures between 12 and 26 degrees Celsius (54-79 degrees F); provide supplemental heating (via commercial pet enclosure heaters) or even cooling (via inaccessible fans) if necessary.

Pigs love to root around in the mud for roots and other tasty treats. If you have an indoor pig, then you can create a place for your piglet to root in your home by making a rooting box. To make a rooting box, place some fist-sized rocks into a large wide box and then add some treats, such as dry cereal and popcorn for your pig to root around and find. It is important to use only fist-size or larger rocks in a rooting box or your pig may accidentally inhale them. Pigs love to roll around in mud. If you keep your pigs outdoors, then you might consider making a small mud pit for your piglets to enjoy. Add some water to a patch of dry dirt to create mud and then lead you piglet over to the mud so she can investigate it. You might also consider filling a kiddie pool with a bit of water for your piglet to cool off. Make sure that the water is not too deep. Your piglet may not know how to swim yet. Pigs enjoy interactive games such as fetch, so try tossing a stick, a tennis ball, or a Frisbee to see if your piglet will retrieve it. It might take him a few tries to get the idea, but once he figures out what you want him to do he should start to bring the item back again and again. Piglets also enjoy pushing balls around with their noses. Try giving your piglet a big bouncy ball or beach ball to push around her pen or around the house if she is an indoor pig. Pigs also like to shred paper, so your piglet might enjoy having a few sheets of newspaper now and then. Try laying out a few pages and then let the piglet investigate them. You can also try giving your piglet cardboard boxes, magazines, and other types of paper to shred. Pigs are intelligent animals, so like dogs, they get bored by playing with the same toys over and over again. Try to swap out your piglet’s toys once every few days to ensure that she will always be entertained.

First, read the English article below.

Pigs need a dry, secure place to live that will protect them from the weather and provide enough space to move around. Some people claim that a full grown pig only needs about 20 square feet of space. However, for a truly healthy pig, you should allot each pig about 50 square feet of space. When planning your pigpen out, remember that it is best if the pen is twice as long as it is wide.  When making your plans, also keep in mind that pigs tend to relieve themselves near their water supply. Because of this, you should plan to put the water supply on the far end of the pen, away from their food and shelter. If you have a barn with empty stalls in it, you can consider raising your pigs inside the barn. Just keep in mind that you will have to haul the manure they produce out of the barn. Use a woven fence that is "hog tight" with a board on the bottom to discourage digging. The best way to build your fence is to map out the area you will house your pig(s) in and then  build a sturdy wooden fence around the area. When your fence is built, attach 4×2 welded wire to the inside of the fence so that if the pigs push on it, it won’t go anywhere. A  movable electric fence is a good option for pigs that will be used to pasture other parts of a farm or land, and will be herded in and out of the pen. Pigs can sunburn if they do not have protection from the direct sunlight in hot weather. In cold weather, pigs will seek protection from cold and wind. The best setup is a three-sided, roofed structure that can be placed inside the fenced in area. Many pig farmers recommend that you provide your pigs with at least 15 to 20 square feet of shade. The roof doesn’t need to be higher than four feet tall.  Remember to leave a partial opening under the eaves of the structure so that heat can escape during the hotter months of the year. One way to provide shade is to secure shade cloth to the top of the pen to block sun. In the winter, you should put hay down inside the shelter that your smaller pigs can warm themselves in. It's true...

Pinch it between your thumb on one side (either the face or back) and your middle and ring fingers (your "inner fingers") together on the opposite (either the face or back).  This trick will be much easier to perform with your dominant hand. However, with practice, you may be able to use your non-dominant hand instead. This trick will not work if your audience is on all sides. You need to make sure the back of your hand can be obscured. Try to grip the card using only the sides of your fingers as tight as you can. Bend the card into a slight arc that is convex in relation to your fingers. Simultaneously, curl your inner fingers by retracting them behind the card. The sections of your inner fingers between your first and second knuckles should be roughly parallel to the card. " Straightening your fingers while maintaining your grip will bring the card to the back of your hand. Show your open palm to your audience, but be sure to keep your ring, middle, and index fingers held close together. It will take some practice to make it so the edges of the card do not show through at all. Try to only let the card get halfway down the crevices of your fingers. Now that your card has "disappeared," you can even more easily appear to conjure it from thin air. Simply curl your middle fingers forward again and pinch it between your thumb and index finger.  Run through these steps as quickly as you can. The faster you move, the more convincing your sleight of hand will be. Once you've gotten the hang of doing this basic trick, try adding movements with your wrists. This will work to misdirect your audience and disguise your moves.

Pinpoint the location of the eyelash before trying this method. This works best if the eyelash is trapped in the top part of the eye. Pull the lid gently, not strongly. Your upper and lower lashes should brush against each other. Try blinking once or twice with your lid closed. It might help loosen the lash from the area it's stuck. Ideally, the motion of your lid against the eyeball as it moves dislodges the eyelash. It may stick to your lashes instead of the eye, from which you can remove it easily, or fall out of your eye as you open your lid.

Pinworms are contracted when you eat food, touch anything, or touch anyone infected with pinworm eggs and then put your fingers into your mouth. Once the eggs enter the intestines, they mature and hatch in your intestine. Female pinworms exit your intestines from your anus and lay their eggs on nearby skin.  Adult pinworms are white and less than an inch long, or about the length of a staple. They migrate at night to the anus and lay their eggs there. They can lay up to 10,000 eggs. It only takes a few hours for the pinworm eggs to hatch and become capable of causing infection. Pinworm eggs can survive for up to two weeks on clothing, bedding, food, and other surfaces. Pinworm eggs can survive for two weeks on pet fur, but only humans can be infected. Children under the age of 18 are at the highest risk for pinworms. It has been estimated that 10 to 40% of all children have had pinworms at one time or another. Young children are at the highest risk for pinworm infection, along with their household members and caretakers.  Children can unknowingly spread pinworms within their household. If your child has pinworms, you should treat everyone in the household because there is a high risk that the child unknowingly spread the infection. Children can also spread pinworms at school or in daycare centers. Unfortunately, most of the time a pinworm infection is asymptomatic, so the infected person has no idea he is infected. If the person does show signs and symptoms of an infection, the main sign of pinworm infection is itching around the anus. This especially occurs at night when the females are laying the eggs and the eggs are hatching. The itching can be severe, and your child may be very uncomfortable. Other symptoms may include urinary tract infections and sleep loss.  Infection can occur if the patient scratches very hard and opens the skin. You can diagnose pinworm infections at home using a tape test, but you still should have your child seen by his or her physician.

Pipe a small amount of icing onto the top of the rose nail, and then press a small square of wax paper onto the icing, using the icing to hold the paper and nail together. Place the tip of the pastry bag with the rose tip onto the rose nail, with the wide end touching the wax paper. Spin the nail in a full circle to make a cone shape. You will need to synchronize your hand movements so that you're moving as fast as the icing is coming out. Make each petal a little bit higher than the center, and make each third the circumference of the rose center, so that you can have three petals total. This layer will have five petals total. Keep on making the petals higher than the others so that they arc upwards and outwards. Also, try to overlap the petals to make them look natural. This one should consist of about seven evenly spaced petals. If you want a larger rose, you can continue to add layers.

Pipe smoking is a leisurely activity. Take some time to yourself in a comfortable spot where you won't be disturbed, and where your smoke won't disturb anyone else. If you're smoking a new briar pipe, smoke indoors away from drafts. Even gentle wind will cause the pipe to burn hotter, which can damage a briar pipe before it's "broken in." This is not necessary for most other pipes, including corncob pipes. A drink on hand keeps your mouth and throat from drying out, and may prevent a sore tongue. Some people enjoy pairing pipes with coffee or tea instead, but wait on that until you are more experienced, and can choose a good pairing. Drinking alcohol before or during a smoke is not recommended, since it greatly increases smoke-related cancer risk. . Before each smoke, run a pipe cleaner through the stem and tap out the remnants of ash and tobacco. Correct packing takes practice, and has a major impact on your enjoyment. The tobacco should be loose enough that you can easily draw air through it, and springy to the touch. Have an experienced smoker show you what to do, or use this beginner-friendly method:  Drop a tiny pinch of tobacco in the chamber. Tamp this very lightly or not at all, leaving plenty of air between the leaves. Add a slightly larger pinch, tamping lightly until the bowl is half-filled. Finish with a third pinch, tamping with a bit more pressure until there is a gap of ¼ inch (0.6mm) above the tobacco.  Note — when breaking in a new briar pipe, many people fill to ⅓ or ½ the depth described here the first few smokes. This helps form a protective cake of charcoal, although not all smokers agree with this approach. If using a match, let the sulfur burn off for a few seconds first to avoid getting a mouthful of match taste. Move the flame around the surface of the tobacco while drawing on the mouthpiece with long, even draws. Many pipe smokers prefer to light the pipe once, then tamp down the ash, extinguishing the embers in order to give the tobacco a flat, even surface. This is called a "false...

Piping gel is often used as an edible glue for baking, but in this recipe, it will be used to create the lava for the volcano. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and water until there are no lumps. When the mixture is smooth, whisk in the corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring regularly. Boil the gel for two to three minutes, and the mixture will take on the consistency of gel.  Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in 10 drops of red gel food coloring. If necessary, whisk in another 10 drops, until the gel is a deep and bright red. Set the gel aside to cool. Use the frosting knife to cover the entire outside of the cake with a generous layer of frosting. Spread the frosting in an even layer, and smooth it down with the knife. Place the cake in the fridge for about an hour to let the frosting set. This crumb coat will trap any crumbs, and make the final layer of frosting smooth and even. When the crumb coat has had time to set, remove the cake from the fridge. Apply a second layer of frosting to the cake, making sure it’s evenly distributed over the whole cake. Because it’s a volcano cake, you don’t actually have to worry about the frosting being smooth. To give the volcano some definition, use the butt end of a knife to carve some vertical curved lines into the frosting. This will replicate the jagged and uneven lines of rocks. Pour the red piping gel into the hole in the center of the top cake. If the reservoir fills up, let the excess run down over the outside of the volcano like lava. If there isn't enough gel to fill the reservoir, use a spoon to drizzle extra lava over the sides. Just before serving the cake, use tongs to fill the shot glass half full with dry ice. Place the shot glass into the center of the lava reservoir. Pour in enough hot water to make the dry ice create smoke. For an extra fiery effect, use sparklers instead of candles on the volcano cake.

Pita chips are most often enjoyed with dip, and these chips are ideal because they're crunchy and sturdy, meaning they're less likely to break when you scoop. There are a number of spreads and condiments that you can dip your pita chips into, and some of the most popular include:  Hummus Guacamole Baba ghanoush Crab dip Salsa Spinach dip Artichoke and asiago dip Pita chips are an excellent substitute for croutons in salads. You can garnish a finished salad with full pita chip wedges, or break the chips up and crumble them into your salad before serving. Good salads to finish with pita chip croutons include:  Greek Fattoush Caesar Garden Cobb Most people are familiar with crackers and cheese, but there's no reason you can't enjoy pita chips and cheese as a snack, appetizer, or hors d’oeuvre at a party. You can serve the chips with wedges of cheese, creamed cheeses, or grated cheese melted onto the chips in the oven or microwave. Good cheeses to pair with pita chips include brie, cheddar, mozzarella, cream, blue, and gouda. Chocolate-dipped pita chips are a delicious and unique dessert dish or snack. Melt chocolate chips or a bar of chocolate over medium heat in a double boiler. Hold each chip by the wide end and dip the top half of the chip into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet to harden. The best types of pita chips for this are plain, lightly salted, or cinnamon-sugar chips. Pita chips are a perfect size for one- or two-bite appetizers that you can eat as a snack or serve at parties. You can top pita chips with any of your favorite ingredients. For a simple vegetarian appetizer, top each chip with:  A small avocado wedge A thin tomato slice Grated or creamed cheese A sprinkle of diced green onion

Place 1 hand on your chest and 1 hand on your stomach. As you inhale through your nose, pull the air down into your lungs, making sure that your stomach rises. Then let the breath fill up your chest. Hold for 5-20 seconds, then slowly exhale through your mouth until your stomach contracts.  Repeat 5 times. This should help you realize how much air you can take in at a time. It also helps you learn to breathe more deeply. Breathe normally, but watch your diaphragm to see if it moves up and down. Deepen your breaths until you can observe a steady up and down movement in your diaphragm. This helps you learn to inhale more deeply. Your diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that is present just below your lungs, at the top of your stomach. Sit or stand in a relaxed position. Slowly inhale normally, counting how many seconds it takes to fill your lungs. Then exhale for the same number of seconds. Add 1 count to both your inhale and exhale, and repeat. Continue to add 1 count to both your inhale and exhale until your stomach rises with each breath. Scientists have figured out that splashing water on your face accelerates bradycardia, or the slowing of the heart rate, which occurs when you dive into water. Your body regulates your heart rate while you're underwater so that you receive the oxygen you need while underwater. Triggering this effect while out of water can help you maximize your oxygen usage. Try to keep the water cold, but not icy. Icy water will trigger another reflex in your body that causes you to hyperventilate, or try to breathe quickly. Hyperventilation will hurt your ability to hold your breath for a long time.

Stir the ingredients well to combine them. Cooking times vary slightly depending on how long it takes the lentils to soften without becoming too soft, and how long it takes for the soup to thicken. When it's ready, turn off the heat. Stir in 1/2 lb. of spinach and let it sit in the pot for a few minutes until it's completely wilted. You may think that you're putting in way too much spinach, but as the spinach wilts, it will get much smaller.

Place 1 ripe banana that’s been roughly chopped into your blender or food processor. Process it until it has a smooth, lump-free texture. You can mash the banana by hand with a fork, but work slowly to get all of the lumps out of the puree. When the banana is mashed, slowly pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil into the blender or food processor. Blend the fruit and oil together until the mask has a creamy, frothy texture. Olive oil is full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as vitamin E, that help hair maintain its moisture and protect against sun and other environmental damage. Before applying the banana and olive oil mask, wet your hair. Massage the mixture evenly into your hair, start at your roots. Work it all the way down to the ends so all of your hair is saturated. Put the mask on your hair over the sink or in the shower to avoid making a mess on the floor. When the mask is in place, let it sit on your hair for 10 to 15 minutes.If you're concerned about the mask dripping off, it's a good idea to put a shower cap, towel, or some plastic wrap over your hair as the mask sits. When the mask’s time is up, use cool water to wash it out of your hair. It may take two or three rinses to remove all of the banana from your hair so work carefully. If necessary, follow up with your usual shampoo and conditioner.

Place 2 cups (470 mL) of leave-in conditioner into a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons (10 g) of coffee grounds and 1 cup (240 mL) of room-temperature brewed coffee. Apply the mixture to your hair, wait 1 hour, then rinse it out with warm water. To help set the color, rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar afterward, then let your hair air dry.  The stronger you brew your coffee, the darker the color will be. Espresso would be even better. Do not add any milk or sugar to the coffee. For best results, use white-colored conditioner. You can also substitute plain conditioner or a hair mask. This method may be able to dye lighter hair colors a dark shade of brown. This is not permanent and will only last 2 to 3 washes. You can reapply the dye more often to prolong the effect, however. Brew 3 to 5 tea bags in 2 cups (470 mL) of water. Allow the tea to cool completely before using it on your head. Pour the tea over your hair, or mix it with 2 cups (470 mL) of conditioner, and leave it in your hair for 1 hour before rinsing it out with warm water. Like coffee dye, this will only last about 2 to 3 washes.  Use black tea if you want to darken your hair or cover up grays. Use rooibos or hibiscus if you want to enhance red tones. Try chamomile tea if you want to brighten up blonde hair or lighten light brown hair. Simmer 1 to 2 tablespoons (4.5 to 9 g) of your desired dried herb in 2 cups (470 mL) of water for 30 minutes. Strain the solution into a spray bottle, then mist it onto your hair until it's damp. Just like coffee or tea dye, this is not permanent and will only last about 2 to 3 washes.  Use calendula, hibiscus, marigold, or rosehips to bring out red tones. Let it air dry in the sun, then rinse it out using warm water. For dark hair, try crushed walnut shells, nettle, rosemary, or sage. Leave it in your hair for 1 hour before rinsing it out with warm water. You don't need the sun for this.

Place 2 medium pieces of bitter melon that’s been cleaned and sliced into a large bowl. Pour 2 to 3 cups (480 to 720 ml) of water over it to cover it, along with 1 teaspoon (6 g) of salt. Let the melon soak for about 5 to 10 minutes. Place a medium-size skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of canola oil to the pan, and let it heat for 3 to 5 minutes. When the oil is warmed, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 medium chopped onion to the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook until the onions become translucent and softened, which should take about 3 minutes. When you’ve finished sauteing the onion and garlic, add 1 pound (454 g)  of ground beef to the skillet. Allow the meat to cook until it’s browned and cooked through, which should take about 5 minutes. If you prefer, you can substitute pork belly for the ground beef. Once the ground beef is browned, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of soy sauce and some salt and pepper to taste to the skillet. Mix well to ensure that the ingredients are fully combined. Pour the water out of the bowl with the melon. Use paper towel or a clean kitchen towel to gently pat the melon dry. Mix the drained melon into the skillet. Saute the mixture for about 5 more minutes to soften the melon. When the melon is soft, pour the mixture into a serving bowl. Pair it with the rice and serve while it’s still warm.
