Q: Many dialysis centers have a staff member tasked with helping patients arrange treatment while they are traveling. This process can take some time, though, especially if additional accommodations need to be made for your child. Talk to your child's primary nurse 6-8 weeks before you leave to start making arrangements. Find out if your pediatric nephrologist is familiar with any centers or pediatric nephrologists at your destination. Getting a recommendation from a doctor that you know and trust will make you feel more at ease. Within the U.S., you can search online for pediatric hemodialysis centers. You can even search using specific criteria (such as pediatrics, in center hemodialysis, transient patients). Just go to the Nephron Information Center website and enter the zip code for your destination. Identifying suitable hemodialysis centers abroad can be a little more challenging. Most pediatric nephrologists subscribe to a worldwide network of colleagues. You can ask your doctor to post a query to help identify a recommended center and physician in your area of travel. Contact the dialysis center directly to ensure that they will be able to accommodate your child during your trip. Ask about any medical records that may need to be faxed or emailed to the center, and see if any additional arrangements are necessary prior to your child's arrival. Also ask for the name and telephone number of a dialysis nurse or social worker contact at the center. This gives you a direct contact if your schedule changes or if an emergency arises during the trip. Getting a head start on scheduling appointments is particularly important if you're traveling to a popular destination during the high season. Find out whether any upfront payments will be required at the dialysis center and how long it takes to travel to the dialysis center from where you're staying. In the week prior to your departure, talk to your regular dialysis center about sending a copy of your child's medical records to your destination center. This gives the center time to look over your child's medical history and make any necessary arrangements that your child may need. Carry a hard copy of your child's medical records as a back-up. It is usually a good idea to touch base with your contact at the dialysis center the week before departing on your trip. Be sure that all of the requested information has been received. This usually includes a written medical summary and the most recent dialysis treatment run records. Also be sure to clarify any necessary details. For example you should: Confirm the dialysis treatment schedule and the usual duration of dialysis at this particular center. Find out where you need to register once you get there and ask whether there is any additional information that you can provide ahead of time, like your child's dialysis schedule, to make the registration process smoother. Find out where you need to go and when to arrive for the first dialysis treatment. If relevant, check if the center uses local anesthetic (e.g. lidocaine) for line access. Ask if patients are allowed to eat or drink during dialysis.
A: Make travel arrangements with your primary nurse at least 6 weeks before your trip. Identify pediatric hemodialysis centers near your destination. Contact the dialysis center a month in advance to schedule appointments. Have your child's medical records transferred to the dialysis center. Confirm your arrangement the week prior to your departure.

You will see a prompt directing you to either login or sign up. Click the button that says "sign up." You will need: Your first and last name. Your preferred email address. A password that is at least six characters long. Alternatively, you can sign up with your facebook.com account. Just click the Facebook logo. Once you've created a TED account, log in to the main TED site. On the top right is a drop-down menu called "participate." Let your mouse cursor hover over the drop down menu. One of the options is "translate." Click that option, which will take you to the TED translate page. When you have arrived on the TED translate page, click the button on the left side of the page that says "get started." At the bottom of the "get started" page, you should see a button that says "apply." Click this button. It will take you to the amara.org page. Amara is the platform that TED uses for translation and transcription. The application will ask you four questions, including: Why you want to translate/subtitle for TED. Something like "I want to translate for TED because I want to be part of a collaborative community and keep my language skills sharp" is fine. It will ask you to provide a description of your experience in the target language. For example, if you studied the language in school, were self-taught, or are a native speaker. The application also asks you to rate your language skills from 1-5, with 5 being the best and 1 being the worst. For the last question, explain how you learned about Amara. It doesn't look great for a prospective translator's application to be riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, so double and triple check to make sure that yours isn't. The TED translation team should get back with you within five days, so you won't be waiting long.

Q: When you want to frost the sides of the cake, you'll need to apply a thin crumb coat to the exposed cake, trapping any loose crumbs inside. Note that the cake will show through the crumb coating. You only want to use a thin layer of frosting to trap the loose crumbs. This layer will not be visible once the cake is complete. If your refrigerator is large enough, place the cake inside for roughly 30 minutes to help the crumb coat set. If you cannot chill the cake in your refrigerator, you should at least let it rest in a cool room for several minutes before handling it again. Consider placing a small fan in front of it to help the frosting cool. Ideally, the frosting should become so cool that it no longer feels sticky. Apply a thicker layer of frosting over the crumb coat of the cake. Continue until all sides are thoroughly coated and smooth. Before frosting the cake, slide strips of wax paper underneath the bottom of the cake, forming a square frame. Excess frosting will get on the wax paper instead of the cake board or platter. When you finish frosting the cake, you can remove the wax paper strips and the mess all at once. From this point on, you can apply any decorations you want using additional icing, candies, or non-edible embellishments. Once you've added the finishing touches to your decorations, the cake will be complete and ready to serve.
A:
Apply a crumb coat. Chill the cakes again, if feasible. Frost the sides of each tier. Decorate the cake as desired.
