Article: The proper technique for lifting and carrying a baby can be overwhelming, and it can be easy to forget all of the steps involved. However, there a a few key points that will always apply. The BACK acronym is a quick way to remember the most important things to keep you safe. B is for keeping your back straight. A is for avoiding twisting to lift or carry the baby. C is for keeping the baby close to your body. K is for keeping your movements smooth. New mothers and people who lift infants often experience inflammation near the thumb and wrist. This condition is called mommy thumb (i.e. De Quervain's tendinitis). If you have pain or swelling around your thumb, a sticking sensation, or difficulty pinching or grasping something with your thumb, you may have mommy thumb. Apply ice or a cold compress to your wrist to alleviate symptoms. Use your palms instead of relying on your wrist to lift your baby. Cradle the baby with your forearm and fingers and relax your fingers as you hold the baby. See a physician if icing or resting your thumb and wrist does not alleviate the symptoms. Hip and back injuries are common among new parents. Restoring your hip and back flexibility will help you prevent injuries. Stretching and light yoga are good ways to get more flexible. If you are a new mother, talk to your doctor before you begin exercising again. Make sure that it is safe for you to begin exercising and discuss what type of exercises are safe and realistic for you. Even some light stretching while your baby is taking a nap will be beneficial. Carrying your baby on one hip is convenient and allows you to do other things with your free hand. However, balancing the baby on your hip puts a strain on your back and hips on one side of you body. Hip carrying can result in pelvic pain and alignment (e.g. back, hip, and pelvis) issues. Alternate hips and hold the baby with both arms if you carry the baby on your hip. If you do carry the baby on your hip, try not to stick your hip out. Stand as upright as possible and keep your back straight. Use your bicep to hold the baby instead of your wrist and forearms.

Remember the BACK acronym. Avoid mommy thumb. Improve your hip and back flexibility. Do not carry the baby on your hip.
Article: The items have to be taken to a store in person. They can't be mailed in or traded online. When you arrive at the store, mention that you're looking to trade in some items and spread them out on the counter to show store employees. This will make it easier for them to sort out and price the items you want to exchange. Also, don't forget to bring in your PowerUp Rewards membership card or have someone look up your account if you have one. Make sure you bring in everything you have to trade. That includes accessories, such as charging cables for handheld consoles and phones. Remove anything that wasn't part of the original product. If you're bringing in a handheld device or accessory, make sure it's fully charged and that you have erased any personal information stored on it. The employees have to test each trade-in item before they can offer any sort of credit. They will make sure it is functional first, and then they will examine its overall quality. Finally, they consider its demand. After all these factors are taken into account, they offer you an equivalent amount of credit. If you researched trade-in values online through Gamestop's website, expect the result to be the same. Usually, the only difference is them offering you less credit for items that are damaged or otherwise in poor condition. When a Gamestop employee offers you the choice, make it clear you want credit. Gamestop always gives out more credit than money. The difference becomes significant when you trade in multiple items. Take the credit, then put it toward new games, gift cards, or merchandise! For example, that copy of Pokemon Platinum worth $22 in store credit is only worth about $18 in cash as of October 2019.

Bring all of your trade-in items to a Gamestop store. Wait for the store employees to test and appraise your items. Choose store credit instead of cash payment to earn more.
Article: Choose an area with good lighting. Cover your work surface with newspaper or a cheap, plastic, tablecloth. If you will be working with spray paint, it would be best if you work in a well-ventilated area; outside would be best. If there are any places on your plastic you do not wish to paint, cover them in painter's tape. Spray paint works especially well for plastic, but you can use acrylic or enamel/model paint as well. It would be even better if the paint is meant for plastic. Check the label, and look for words such as: "Plastic" or "Multi-Surface." At this point, your project is complete and ready to use. If you'd like to add some details or a top coat, read on to the next part. If you applied masking tape earlier, you should remove it now. Peel it away carefully so that you don't accidentally chip the paint.
