Q: Epaulettes cover the tops of your shoulders, but they come in many different shapes and sizes. Some look like semicircles, while others look like rectangles. Some look like skinny rectangles, with a rounded end that covers your shoulder caps. The edge that faces your neck will always be straight. The epaulette needs to be wide enough to cover the top of your shoulder, from front to back. The length is up to you. It can span from the base of your neck all the way to your shoulder cap, or it can be just long enough to cover your shoulder cap. After you cut the template out, fold it in half lengthwise, then cut off any excess paper that hangs over the edges. This will help make it symmetrical. These will go inside your epaulette and make it nice and stiff. Trace around the template first, then cut the cardboard out with scissors or a craft blade. If you don't have thin cardboard, you can use a thin sheet of template plastic instead. You can find this in the quilting section of a fabric store. Do not use your fabric scissors for this, or you will ruin them. Choose some nice fabric for the tops of your epaulettes, then flip it over so that you can see the back. Use your paper template or cardboard insert to trace the shape onto the fabric. You need to do this twice to create 2 identical shapes. Choose a nice fabric for this, such as velvet, twill, or pleather. Avoid thick or overly decorated fabrics, such as wool felt, upholster, or home decor brocade. If you need to, use a ruler to help you trace a 12in (1.3cm) seam allowance around the epaulettes first. Next, cut the epaulettes out with fabric scissors. Use the template or cardboard to trace the shapes onto the fabric that you want to use for the bottom of the epaulettes. Cut the shapes out, adding a 12in (1.3cm) seam allowance. Since these pieces will be on the underside of the epaulettes, you can use a cheaper fabric for this, such as cotton. If you are using a different type of fabric for this side, make sure that the color matches the upper fabric. Measure around your cardboard epaulette, except for the straight edge that faces your neck. Cut 2 pieces of tassel trim according to this measurement. The color of the trim is up to you. If this is for a uniform, however, the trim should match the trim on your uniform. You can find tassel trims in both the regular trim section and the upholstery trim section of a fabric store.
A: Decide on the shape of your epaulette. Create a template on a sheet of paper based on your design. Use your template to trace and cut 2 shapes from thin cardboard. Trace the epaulettes onto your desired fabric. Cut the epaulettes out, adding a 12in (1.3cm) seam. Repeat the process for the bottom fabric pieces. Cut some tassel trim to fit the outside edge of your epaulette.

Q: You can wash out the mixing bowl and oil that one, or use a separate oiled bowl. It should be at least twice the size as the ball of dough, so the dough has room to rise. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap - it shouldn't be airtight - or place a clean dishcloth over the bowl. Put it in a warm area in your kitchen. If your kitchen tends to be drafty, preheat your oven to 200 degrees, turn it off, and put the bowl in there. It'll be just the right temperature for the dough to rise. During this time it will start puffing up. It won't quite double in size, but it will rise enough to give the dough a good texture. If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and knead the dough until it relaxes - about 5 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. Turn it out onto a floured surface and use the heels of your hands to knead for 10 minutes, or until the dough relaxes. You'll know the dough has relaxed when it stops pulling back into a ball shape when you pause your kneading. It should be loose and malleable. The dough will also start to look shiny and stretchy.
A: Put the ball of dough in an oiled bowl. Cover the dough and put it in a warm place. Let the dough rise for 25 minutes. Punch and knead the dough.

Q: immediately after you determine there's a possible death. Give them your exact location and address. If you don't have access to a phone, try going next store and asking the person to call the Emergency Services for you. They are likely to bring an ambulance. Ask the funeral home when the certificate of death will be available. You will need a copy of the death certificate to continue with your notifications to the government and credit companies. A physician must prepare the death certificate, which also reports the cause of death. Funeral homes usually procure the death certificate as well as copies for the family. The time it takes to get a death certificate will depend upon whether a crime is being investigated or whether an autopsy is being performed. Ask the police and the funeral home for updates on this certificate. They are able to help make arrangements and report deaths. Give your social security number to the funeral director to aid in this process.
A: Call the Emergency Services Avoid touching anything around the body, unless you are attempting life-saving procedures. Wait for the police to arrive. Identify the body at the house or the police station if necessary. Choose your funeral home.

Q: A psychopath may end a conversation with a statement that opposes what they said at the beginning. Dishonesty and pathological lying is a sign of psychopathy. The person may talk about how disrespectful it is that your coworker always shows up late and does things they are not supposed to, and then moments later the person will break the rules without apology. The contradictions may not occur within the same conversation, so keep track of what is said over time. Log in a journal important information that you think might later be contradicted. Psychopaths talk excessively about the people in their lives because they view them as extensions of themselves. A psychopath will lie about the people in their life; they will even lie about their children. Psychopaths are prone to giving out half-truths or disinformation. They have no problem keeping important information away from you. If the person has told you stories of betrayal or tragedy to explain their damaged family, friend, or romantic relationships, see if you can verify these stories independently. A psychopath refuses to take responsibility for their own actions and will blame others for things they have done. If there is irrefutable evidence that they are at fault, they may then admit it, but will show no remorse. A psychopath will also try very hard to control the narrative by professing an altered version of events, which may be very different from what you experienced. This can cause you to question yourself and is known as "gaslighting." On the other hand, because the psychopath displays a grandiose sense of self-worth, they may brag about or inflate their achievements, or even take credit for the work of others. Notice if they quickly and smoothly change topics when you broach a subject that might reveal their anti-sociality. They may rapidly dismiss discussions of their odd behavior by accusing you of causing too much drama, or by insisting that you are mentally ill and need professional help.
A:
Watch for contradictions in speech. Double-check what is said. Take note of scapegoating. Watch for quick changes in conversation.
