In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sometimes, a scrape and a laceration can appear similar. Before you treat a scrape, you need to make sure you have one. This is important because lacerations, or cuts, require sutures or glue for treatment. A scrape is a shallow skin abrasion that is over a portion of the skin. If you have a wound that is over 1 centimeter (0.39in) deep, you should seek medical help to treat the wound and stitch it up. Before you take care of your wound, you need to make sure you have clean hands. As long as your wound is not bleeding excessively, take the time to wash your hands with antibacterial soap. If the deep scrape is on your hands, try not to get the soap on the wound because it will hurt. After you decide it is a scrape, you need to rinse it with water. Run water over the wound to remove any debris that may have gotten into it when you were injured. The water should be lukewarm. Continuously pour water over it for a few minutes at a time. In between, check to make sure there is not more debris in the wound. If you are not in a place where there is a clean and available water source, remove the obvious debris by brushing it away with a cloth. If you notice excessive bleeding, rinse for as little time as possible to remove the debris. Then, move on to the next step. Once any large debris or matter is removed, you need to stop the bleeding. To do this, take a clean cloth, towel, or gauze and cover the wound. Apply solid pressure to the wound. If you only have a used shirt or dirty cloth, don't worry too much. Your wound is already dirty because it hasn't been disinfected, so don't worry too much about infection at this point. Just focus on stopping the bleeding. Once you begin applying pressure, refrain from checking on the wound for at least seven to 10 minutes. If you stop applying pressure too soon, the blood clot will not form and bleeding will begin again. If you have waited seven to 10 minutes and your wound has stopped bleeding, your wound can now be cleaned. If your compression cloth becomes soaked with blood or if there is any noted squirting blood flow, seek medical attention immediately. This means that your wound is severe and needs more advanced help that can only be received at the doctor. This may happen with large scrapes, such as road rashes or scrapes of a excessive length. There are also some health factors that may require you to go to the hospital if you get a deep enough wound. You should go to the hospital right away if you have blood or bleeding disorders, diabetes, heart disease, kidney and liver disease, and poor immunity. A deep scrape could put you in danger when combined with other health conditions that you have.
Summary: Differentiate the wound. Wash your hands. Rinse with water. Apply pressure. Seek medical attention.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Regardless of the charge, the best thing you can do for yourself is to respond quickly. Being proactive about your warrant helps you avoid being arrested publicly and at inopportune times. Moreover, it limits any accruing fees. In the event that a warrant has been issued for a major offense, you will most likely want to contact a criminal defense lawyer. An attorney can help you understand your warrant and will make suggestions as to possible next steps. In addition, an attorney can accompany you to the local court to inquire about your warrant. Bring the warrant number and all relevant information you have so far. Find an attorney that specializes in your type of case (you should know the case type from the warrant information see Part 2, Step 2). Avoid picking the first name you see in the phonebook or any other advertisement. Instead, get a referral from someone who's been in a similar situation, or someone knows a good attorney. You can also find attorneys by looking at your state bar association website. (A directory of state bar associations can be found at http://shop.americanbar.org.) Meet with the attorney first to make sure that they're someone you're comfortable with and can trust. If you're unable to pay for a lawyer, contact the public defender's office of the county where your warrant was issued. Ask to speak with the duty attorney and explain you'd like to clear your warrant. Turning yourself in can help make the process smoother, reducing the risk of more severe punishment and fines, and, in some cases, the creation of a criminal record. Start by turning yourself in to the courthouse clerk. Ask for information about what steps to take next, but make sure you have the right clerk. For county and state warrants, talk to the county clerk; for federal warrants, talk to the clerk of the U.S. District Court. Bring an attorney or legal representative with you for advice. Some misdemeanor and minor charges may be taken care of without a hearing. If you turn yourself in to a police station, you may end up being put directly in jail until your appointed time in court. A court-appointed attorney will be provided for you if you turn yourself in. This will only catch up to you. The next time you get pulled over for speeding, or even go the county clerk's office for routine matters, you could be arrested on the spot.
Summary: Deal with the warrant as soon as possible. Contact an attorney. Turn yourself in. Do not ignore the warrant.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're mailing a letter of standard size weighing less than an ounce and addressed to a U.S. address (including an APO or FPO address), place one first-class stamp in the top-right corner of the letter. Stamps are available for purchase at any post office, online at USPS.com, and at various retail stores. Stamps come with either standard or special designs. If you want to purchase a decorative or commemorative stamp, go to a post office and ask to see their selection. Stamps rise in price periodically. If you have old postage stamps, check usps.com to make sure the stamps you have will still cover the full cost of first-class postage. You may have to use more than one stamp. Letters that are heavy or oversized and letters that are being mailed overseas require extra postage to reach their destination. USPS.com displays all current postage rates. If you have an accurate postage scale at home, you can weigh and measure your letter to determine how much postage you'll need to pay. Record the measurements, then check USPS.com for rates. Affix the appropriate postage to the top-right corner of your letter. If you don't have a scale, take your letter to a post office to have it weighed. The clerk will be able to calculate exactly how much postage you'll need.
Summary:
Use a first-class stamp. Buy extra postage.
