Q: Bearded dragons tend to be curious, mellow creatures that appear to enjoy human company. Regular handling helps them get accustomed to people and minimizes stress during events like enclosure cleanings and trips to the vet. Pick up your beardie by placing your hand under its belly and gently scooping it up. Let the dragon lay on your palm, and lightly curl your fingers around its abdomen. Bearded dragons have very rough skin, so this may protect you from light scratches. Your dragon's nails will get needle-sharp, so be sure to maintain them. Wrap your beardie in a towel, leaving one leg exposed. Have an assistant hold the beardie. Use human nail clippers to take off the very tip of the nails. Do just a little, as lizards have a vein, called a quick, running through their fingers. If you do cut into the quick, stop the bleeding by dabbing a little cornstarch onto the nail with a cotton swab. Alternatively, you can file your dragon's nails, or have a vet cut them for a nominal fee. You'll understand your beardie better by recognizing certain gestures it makes. Inflated beard: When a lizard wants to show dominance, or feels startled or threatened - this particularly happens during breeding season - it puffs its throat out. Mouth gaping: As with the inflated beard, this gesture is meant to make the dragon look menacing, as a show of dominance or to scare off a potential aggressor. Bobbing head: Males show dominance with this gesture. Arm waving: Sometimes a dragon may hold up one front leg and slowly wave it, which is a sign of submission. Raised tail: This is commonly seen during the breeding season. It can also be a sign of alertness and activeness. Juveniles tend to raise their tail when they're hunting prey. After your initial veterinary visit, it is important to bring your beardie for an annual check-up. This helps detect any potential issues early, and keeps your friend as healthy as possible.
A: Handle your beardie at least once a day. Consider wearing gloves and long sleeves. Trim your beardie's toenails every few weeks. Learn to read your beardie's body language. Bring your bearded dragon to the veterinarian once a year.

Q: However, even protective equipment designed to protect employees from harmful agents have their shortcomings. The following steps should be taken to ensure the protective equipment has maximum efficacy: Protective equipment should be modified and sized to fit the individual employee. Equipment that does not fit an employee (either too big or too small) can leave the employee vulnerable to direct or indirect contact (fumes or vapors) of harmful agents. Protective equipment should be worn in the way you were instructed to use it by your employer or OSHA. If it is stipulated that a face mask must be worn when working around a particular agent, for example, don't pull it down or up. If it is uncomfortable, ask your employer to modify the size or try a different brand. Replace protective equipment as needed or as stipulated. If a glove used to handle one substance comes in contact with another, it might cause a harmful reaction. Keep your skin healthy; healthy skin is less likely to react when it comes in contact with irritants. Cuts and scrapes (such as those caused by dry skin) can be a breeding ground for unwanted pathogens. Applying lotion or cream prior to work can help prevent cracks from dry skin and help your skin maintain its protective strength; but be careful to dry your skin thoroughly before starting work. Wash your hands frequently throughout the day, and immediately wash your hands after coming in contact with an irritant. Appropriate hand washing is key to preventing the transfer of pathogens. Proper technique is key to removing germs. Follow this procedure for effective hand-washing: Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Apply soap and lather hands by rubbing together with soap. Be sure to lather all parts of hands including fingers and scrub for at least 20 seconds (the amount of time it takes to hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice). Rinse hands under running water. Dry hands thoroughly. Wet hands are more likely to spread germs, so dry your hands thoroughly using a paper towel. Since regular towels are used and reused, they can be a breeding ground for pathogens. If you do come in contact with a harmful agent, time is key to minimizing your skin's reaction. If you work around pathogens on a routine basis your workplace should have an exposure policy; find a copy of this policy. Have it memorized or make sure it is posted in a clear place in case of exposure. The course of action might be different depending the pathogen involved, but in most cases washing your hands with soap and water vigorously will be the first step. In cases of exposure, therapeutic measures (such as applying topical ointments or dressings) can provide relief, but a long-term cure depends on identification and avoidance of the harmful agent. If you are able to identify and isolate the allergen or offending agent in your workplace, avoid contact with it immediately. In most cases of contact dermatitis the symptoms should disappear after you are no longer in contact with the pathogen. If you are unsure about the cause, in most cases direct skin testing (patch or scratch) or radioallergosorbent testing may help to identify a specific trigger. Contact your doctor if: If the symptoms persist after two weeks. In this case other causes outside your workplace should be explored, and your doctor can help you identify the cause. If you came into contact with metals such as nickel or chrome. In part because these metals are ubiquitous, they may cause a reaction that is prolonged. Your doctor can help you identify alternatives or means of protection from these metals. If the reaction to the offending agent is particularly malignant or painful (such as a lesion, cut, or burn) and may require immediate medical attention.
A: Wear gloves and protective clothing. Moisturize. Wash your hands. Have a plan if exposure does happen. Seek treatment.

Q: Place a saucepan on the stove and pour in 1 cup (225 g) of tomato sauce along with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of vinegar and 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) (30 g) of tomato paste. Add 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) (25 g) of brown sugar and stir in: 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of chili powder 1/8 teaspoon (0.3 g) of ground cinnamon 5 to 6 dashes of Tabasco to taste 1 dash of cloves 1 dash of allspice Turn off the burner and let the chili sauce come to room temperature before you use or store it. To store the sauce, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks.< Try using the chili sauce in place of ketchup on a burger or hotdog.
A: Put all of the ingredients into a saucepan. Cool the sauce to room temperature.

Q: Before you're ready to serve it, keep your champagne (and all wine) in cool-but-not-cold conditions with little direct light and very little variation in temperature. Basements that stay between 40F and 60F (4C-15C) are perfect. Horizontal storage helps prevent the wine from spoiling and allows the cork to remain moist, which will help keep the air out and keep the gas in. This is an important factor in maintaining the flavor and bubbles in your champagne. Colder champagne tastes better, but it is also less likely to bubble over when you open it. The ideal drinking temperature is between 45F and 48F (7C-9C). If you've got the time, 4 hours or more in a refrigerator will be enough to put your champagne into the proper range. The classic way to chill champagne is in an ice bucket. Champagne buckets are frequently larger than other wine chilling buckets to allow for more water and ice. You should fill the bucket with half water and half ice and let it chill for 15-20 minutes before serving.
A:
Store the champagne in a cool place. Store the champagne horizontally. Chill the champagne before serving.
