article: In addition to being able to use any type of wood in the Minecraft world to make a set of stairs, you can also use certain types of stone: Bricks (made from clay) Quartz Cobblestone Sandstone (mined or made from sand) Nether brick You'll need six blocks of the same material to create a set of four stair blocks. In order to do so: Stone - Mine any kind of stone (cobblestone, sandstone, mossy stone, stone bricks, etc.) with at least a wooden pickaxe. Wood - Mine any kind of wood (jungle, birch, oak, etc.) with any tool. Use an axe for the quickest production. To do this, right-click the crafting table (computer edition) or press your console controller's left trigger while facing the table. If you don't have a crafting table, you can press E (or X for consoles) and use four wood planks to create a crafting table. To create stairs, you'll need to place three blocks in the first column of the crafting table, two in the second column, and one in the third. You'll need to place your blocks starting on the bottom row of the crafting table. If you're using the Xbox version of Minecraft, simply scroll over to the stairs icon and then scroll up or down to select your preferred material. It's to the right of the crafting table interface. Doing so will both create a set of four stairs blocks and add them to your inventory. On Xbox, just press A. If your quick-access bar at the bottom of the screen has an opening, the stairs will be added to it.

article: Bankruptcy should only be used as a last resort. Before filing, try other options available to you to pay off your debts. Contact your creditors and try to negotiate for a loan settlement or a repayment plan with lower payments. Alternately, you can try a short sale of your assets to cover your debt, assuming you are not underwater on your loan. Try consulting with a debt management agency before deciding to file for bankruptcy. Certain kinds of debt cannot be discharged, or erased, even if you declare bankruptcy. Categorize all of your debt and calculate how much falls into categories that cannot be discharged. If the majority of your debt cannot be erased, then bankruptcy may not the right option for you. Note that each state has specific provisions for those assets which are exempt from bankruptcy. Be sure to check state law. The following kinds of debt cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy: Alimony Child Support Debts that arise after bankruptcy is filed Some debts incurred in the six months prior to filing bankruptcy Loans obtained fraudulently Debts from personal injury while driving intoxicated Debts from willful and malicious injuries to person or property Some student loans Some taxes Secured loans, as lenders can foreclose on their capital While bankruptcy proceedings will seek to seize and sell off your valuable assets to repay creditors, there are some assets that are protected under state law. The exempted assets will depend on the type of bankruptcy you are filing for and your state's laws. Assets may be completely protected or protected up to a certain value. For example, there might be at automobile exemption of $5,000, meaning that you could keep a $4,000 car but not a $20,000 one. Common protected assets are cars, wedding rings, and your home. Some states may offer "wild card" exemptions that allow you to keep any other valuable assets up to a certain amount. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep all of your assets, but you can reduce your liability to creditors by selling of assets of significant value. A cosigner agrees to pay your debt in the event that you cannot pay. For example, a parent may have cosigned an auto loan for you when you graduated from college because you had little or no credit. However, if you declare bankruptcy, a cosigner on your loan is still be legally obligated to repay your debt. For example, your parent will still have to repay all or part of that car loan, even if you declare bankruptcy. Bankruptcy in the United States is handled in federal court under the rules of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The U.S. Bankruptcy code identifies several different kinds of bankruptcy. These are usually referred to by their chapter in the U.S. Bankruptcy code. Individuals and businesses may file for Chapter 7. Property may be liquidated to pay off creditors. Secured debt may be eliminated, or you have the option of allowing the property to be repossessed or paying the creditor a lump sum equal to the current value of the property. Your income must be below a certain level to qualify for Chapter 7. Chapter 13 is also known as "wage earner" bankruptcy. Under Chapter 13, if you have a reliable source of income, you can propose a repayment plan to your creditors that pays them back over the next three to five years. Your debts must be below $1,149,525 in secured debt and $383,175 in unsecured debt. Note that the amount received by the creditors is established by your income after bankruptcy, not the amount of debt owed. Municipalities, such as cities, towns, villages, taxing districts, municipal utilities, and school districts can reorganize under Chapter 9. Businesses can reorganize under Chapter 11 or liquidate under Chapter 7. Chapter 12 is similar to Chapter 13. It is reserved for businesses for which 80% or more of debt is from the operation of a family farm or fishery. Learn about the kinds of debt that can be erased and what debts will not be forgiven. Recognize the impact on cosigners to your loans. Decide if you can live with the negative impact bankruptcy has on your credit. Evaluate whether or not you even qualify for bankruptcy. The impact bankruptcy has on your credit is largely determined by how good your credit is to begin with. If your credit score is high, it will probably take a huge hit and drop significantly. If your credit is already pretty bad, bankruptcy might not lower your score by very much. The more accounts associated with the filing, the bigger the impact on your credit score. If you file for Chapter 7 or 11, it will remain on your credit report for up to 10 years. If you file for Chapter 13, it may stay on your report for up to seven years. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy will stay on the business's credit report, not the individual owner's, unless they file a personal bankruptcy.

article:
don't scrub too hard, or you'll increase irritation. Instead, use your sponge to softly wipe down your skin and wick away any dead skin cells. Not a common household cure for acne, but certainly effective in some cases, zinc is a known enemy of acne. Zinc is a metal that humans need in small doses to perform essential functions. In addition to treating acne, it is used to boost the human immune system. Zinc can be used to treat bacne in two different ways: Apply zinc directly to skin. Try finding a lotion with 1.2% zinc acetate and erythromycin 4% and rub it into the skin twice daily. If you can't find this, puncture a zinc gel tablet, squeeze some of the gel onto your clean finger or a Q-tip, and apply directly to your back. You can also talk to your doctor about getting an antibiotic ointment with zinc as an ingredient. Ingest zinc as a part of your daily vitamin regimen. Try taking zinc picolinate daily, about 25 to 45 mg. Do not take more than 50 mg daily, as this could put you at risk of copper deficiency, as larger doses of zinc interfere with copper absorption. This will help remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Squeeze one grapefruit into a bowl with 1 1/2 cups of white sugar and 1/2 cup of coarse sea salt. Gently massage it into the affected areas, then pat dry. Be sure to apply a gentle moisturizer or lotion after any scrub. A couple spoonfuls of honey make a great addition to this kind of scrub. Regular honey and the more potent Manuka honey are both hydrating and regarded for their antibacterial properties. pH is another word for the alkalinity of your skin. Scientists have determined that a skin pH of below 5 the ideal being 4.7 is beneficial to overall skin health and bacterial flora that help the skin. Showering and using soap, in particular, can cause the skin's pH to go above 5, leading to dryness, scaliness, and breakouts. Consider changing your shower head. Invest in a shower head that filters out the chlorine in your water. Your skin will thank you for it. Very decent shower head pre-equipped with filters only cost $25 to $50 and can have a profound impact on your skin. Prepare a mix of one part witch hazel and one part filtered drinking water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on your skin and let it stand for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off completely in the shower. This process will naturally lower your skin's pH.
