Problem: Article: Your doctor or nurse practitioner will start by clearing out all debris and dead tissue from the ulcer and apply a simple, non-stick dressing. They will then apply a compression bandage over the affected leg. Dressing and bandages typically need to be changed once a week. Your medical professional may be able to show you how to change and wrap your bandages so that you do not need to revisit them on a weekly basis. If your ulcer is still healing, initial compression may hurt. Talk to your nurse or doctor about an appropriate pain management program to help you deal with any discomfort. Venous ulcers can lead to fluid buildup in your legs, which can cause your feet and ankles to swell. Keep your legs elevated whenever you can. If possible, keep your ankles at the same elevation as your eyes. Sit in a reclining fashion and use pillows, sofa cushions, or foam wedges to prop up your legs while you sleep or relax. Once your ulcer heals, your doctor or nurse may recommend wearing compression socks or stockings to keep it from returning. They will be able to recommend the appropriate socks and let you know where you can purchase them locally. These socks or stockings are generally more tight-fitting than regular support tights. On rare occasions, large or resistant ulcers may require a skin graft or surgery on the veins to fully heal. If your ulcer does not start healing properly within 3-4 months, talk to your doctor to see if surgery will be necessary to completely heal the affected area.
Summary: Seek out a medical professional for compression therapy. Keep your legs elevated to reduce swelling. Wear compression socks to keep the ulcer from returning. Look into surgery for ulcers that won't heal.

Problem: Article: When you love all of the people in your wedding party, it can be hard to choose just one maid of honor and best man. Of all of these people, your maid of honor and best man should be the people to whom you and your partner feel the closest. However, no one can blame you for choosing a family member. If you can't choose between two of your best friends, you can pick your sister to diffuse potential tension. Even if you were one of your bridesmaids' maid of honor, do not feel like you need to choose her to be your maid of honor. It's your wedding, and ultimately the choice is yours. The maid of honor and best man are typically responsible for planning events like bridal showers and bachelor parties. They also have the responsibility of planning and organizing for you and making sure that you have everything you need on the day of the wedding. If you want your sister to be your maid of honor but she's really busy or disorganized, you could ask someone else in the bridal party to plan your bridal shower or your bachelorette party. The bridesmaid will probably be honored by the extra duty and will want to help in any way she can. Make sure that, before your maid of honor or best man agrees to the task, they know what they're responsible for. Many people would be excited to plan your bachelorette party for you, but siblings in graduate school or friends across the country might not have the logistical time or ability to do these things for you. Have a conversation with your potential maid of honor or best man where you outline the responsibilities for the position. Make sure that the person is enthusiastic about whatever the responsibilities are.
Summary: Consider your close friends and family members. Choose responsible people to be your maid of honor and best man. Outline the responsibilities for your maid of honor and best man.

Problem: Article: Work two chain stitches from the loop on your hook to complete this turning chain. A turning chain exists for the purpose of building the row height up to the height of the stitch before working any actual stitch. This turning chain will count as one half double crochet stitch when you count your stitches at the end of the row. If you need help making chain stitches, please check the "Tips" section of this article for additional instruction. Skip over the first half double crochet stitch of your previous row. When you work the stitch, you will do so in the second half double crochet from your previous row. Note that the same concept applies if you are working a row of half double crochets off a row built with a different type of stitch. You will still need to make a turning chain and you will still need to skip over the stitch directly below that turning chain. Make a standard half double crochet into the second stitch of the previous row. When you insert the hook into your stitch, insert it from front to back and make sure that it goes through the top two loops of the previous row's stitch. Yarn over from back to front. Insert the hook into the top two loops of the second stitch from the previous row. Yarn over from back to front. Draw this yarn-over back to the front of your row, creating a total of three loops on your hook. Yarn over from back to front. Draw this yarn-over through all three loops on your hook to complete the half double crochet. To complete a full row of half double crochet, work one half double crochet into the top two loops of each stitch from the previous row. Continue this step until you reach the end of the row. Again, use the steps outlined for a basic half double crochet: Yarn over. Insert the hook into the next stitch. Yarn over. Draw the yarn-over to the front of the row. Yarn over. Draw the yarn-over through all three loops on your hook. Do not skip any other stitches as you work your way across the row. You will usually need to flip the work over if you plan on making another row after this one. Any additional rows of half double crochet should be completed using the same steps outlined here.
Summary: Create a turning chain. Skip a stitch. Work a half double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat across the row.

Problem: Article: While backfiring can be done manually with relative ease in old cars, it's important you have an understanding of what backfiring is, and what causes it. A misplaced spark or unexpected burst of fuel or air will cause a loud burst from the engine. While modern cars come equipped with systems to regulate these aspects via an Engine Control Unit (ECU), older cars (roughly before 1990) are far more malleable. It's important to keep in mind the reasons why regulating systems were installed in the first place. Excessive backfiring is very unhealthy for your vehicle, and can ultimately result in having to replace parts. Bring it to a steady rev. Prepare the vehicle as you regularly would. Normal safety checks (including dripping oil) are much more important here, as you'll be charging an open flame. The location in which you do this must be open, and relatively free of things that might get caught by the flame. This includes anyone who may be watching. Keep that at a healthy distance-- around 10 meters (33ft) should be good. This will prep your car for some backfiring. Ideally, you don't want to start moving fast while you're turning on the engine, so keep the pressure light. Keep your foot on the gas pedal as it starts up. Once it's up, press the accelerator down as hard as you can. This should cause the car to backfire.
Summary:
Consider the reasons that cars backfire. Start your vehicle. Turn the engine off again, with your foot on the gas pedal. Wait a few seconds, then restart the car.
