Problem: Article: Press the right sides of the knit pieces that you're going to sew together against each other. The wrong sides should both face out. Ensure that you're holding the pieces so that the stitches on both edges line up. Turn the pieces so the edge is facing up and not laying flat on your work surface. Pull 3 times the length of the yarn out from the skein and cut it. Tie a knot at the end of the yarn on your darning needle and insert the needle through the stitch that's nearest to you on the left piece. Since the pieces are turned on their side and facing up, insert the needle horizontally through the pieces. Pull the needle through both of the knit pieces so the stitches are even. If you prefer, you can insert the needle from the right to left piece. Once you've pulled the needle through both pieces, tug on the yarn and move the needle back to the side you started from. Insert the needle into the next stitch on the left piece and pull it through the right piece. Keep returning the needle to the left piece and pulling it through both pieces until both pieces are joined. Pull the yarn gently to create a tight seam and knot the yarn through the last loop on the end of the knit piece. If you pull tightly, the yarn will bunch. Cut the yarn to leave a 2 inch (10 cm) tail and weave in the end. The whipstitch will make a softly finished seam. This makes it a good choice for joining blanket squares or creating handles.
Summary: Hold the 2 knit pieces together. Thread the darning needle and insert it through the knit pieces. Whip the yarn back and insert the needle from the same side. Continue to whipstitch until you reach the end of the pieces. Tighten the seams and tie off the yarn.

Problem: Article: Sign language comes in a variety of forms. Many people know the tactile finger-spelling signs, as well as some basic adapted American Sign Language. For people who do not know either, it is possible to use the POP, or Print On Palm, method, by using your index finger to trace the letters on a blind and deaf person's palm. Memorize the finger-spelling hand signs. Take an ASL (American Sign Language) class. Consider learning finger braille, a modern, Japanese way of signing with your fingers. Tadoma is a method of communicating with the blind and deaf whereby their hands are placed on the lips of the speaker. The person with dual-sensory loss feels out the shape of the words as you say them. This is similar to lip reading. Not all people who are deaf-blind can use tadoma, and not everyone will be comfortable with another person placing a hand on their mouth. Studies show that waiting five, ten, and fifteen seconds all were measurably more useful in communication with the deaf-blind. A zero to one second wait before prompting for a response is too short. There are devices called braillers that allow you to type out a message for a blind person to read. Sometimes these can be very expensive, and you might think of also getting a (cheaper) braille label printer. Companies are even developing braille technology for smartphones. If your deaf-blind loved one doesn't use any of these methods, be sensitive to their needs and persist with what works for them. Spend time with your loved one so that you can pick up even a subtle change to their demeanour, behaviour and communication patterns. Enthusiastically and overtly encourage any and every small communication success they have with them. Rome wasn't built in a day. Talk to their teachers or other people who spend time with them. If they're in education (of any shape or form) then there ought to be goals for the individual - or at least specific lessons. If they're not in education, you could seek it, or seek an expert. Alternatively, you could come up with some simple things yourself. Try accompanying one specific command with a sign if you think they might be able to see you. Repeat the sign every time you ask that of them, until they can anticipate what you will be doing with them from the sign. Maintain a healthy routine which enriches their life, because at the end of the day, your loved one's happiness is more important than any amount of communication.
Summary: Use sign language if they do. Use tadoma if they do. Wait at least five seconds before prompting for response. Learn to use Braille if they do. Be patient and don't give up.

Problem: Article: One of the major symptoms of extreme weight loss is having protruding bones, especially the collarbones and the chest bones. This is due to the lack of body fat on her body, leading to bone definition under the skin. Her face may also appear sunken, with protruding cheekbones, and she may look overly pale or undernourished. Eating too little over a period of time can lead to signs of fatigue like dizziness, fainting spells, and an inability to do any physical activity. Someone with anorexia may also struggle to get out of bed or to complete day to day tasks due to extremely low energy from not eating properly or not eating at all. Due to a lack of nutrients, her nails may break easily or appear brittle. As well, her hair may fall out in clumps or break off easily in large chunks. Another known symptom of anorexia is the development of fine downy hair on the face and body, a condition known as lanugo. This is due to the body's attempts to stay warm, despite a lack of nutrients and energy through eating and food. Many young women who suffer from anorexia fail to get their period or have irregular menstrual cycles. In 14-16 year old girls, this condition is known as amenorrhoea or absent periods. If a young girl develops amenorrhoea due to an eating disorder, such as anorexia, she is at risk of other health issues and should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Summary: Note if she appears underweight, with protruding bones and a sunken appearance. Check if she seems tired, weak, or experiences fainting spells. Notice if her nails appear brittle and her hair breaks easily or starts to fall out. Ask her if she has menstrual irregularities or does not get her period.

Problem: Article: If you don't have a bow, then hit them with a sword and then quickly move backwards. If the creeper starts flashing and getting bigger, get away from it until it either stops or explodes. If you kill it, collect the experience and the item(s) it may drop, like gunpowder. When a creeper is hit by lightning, it has a bluish aura surrounding it. When it explodes, it is double the explosion potential compared to normal Creepers. You kill a charged creeper in the same way as a normal creeper.
Summary:
If you have a bow, use it to kill the creeper. Repeat. Note that there is also a charged creeper.
