Problem: Article: Keep your eyes down and try to follow the deck as it finishes its rotation. Timing your movements to the movements of the deck will help you anticipate your landing and transition right back to riding with the correct foot placement. While you're practicing, note how long (on average) it takes for the deck to make it all the way around. This will give you a better sense of when you need to start preparing for your landing. Aim to stop the deck a moment before the wheels touch down. Both feet should return to where they were while you were setting up the trick, or somewhere close. As you continue to practice, you'll be able to complete the rotation higher and higher, making it possible to link the tailwhip with grinds, stalls, and other tricks. If you're having trouble getting both feet back into position at once, break down the last part of the trick so that you're stopping the deck with your lead foot, then maneuvering your back foot where it needs to be. Continue dropping down a bit after gravity has delivered you back to the ground. Sinking your weight will take most of the shock out of the landing while also lowering your center of gravity to enhance your balance. If you land with your legs perfectly straight while moving, it's possible for your momentum to carry you too far forward, causing you to fall. Learning to brace yourself properly will be especially important once you start riding ramps or throwing tailwhips off of higher obstacles. Turn your head to face the direction you're moving as you touch down and regain control of the scooter. Congratulations, you just landed your first tailwhip! Keep practicing until you get to the point where you can hit the trick over and over again with consistency. Watch out for nearby obstacles. The last thing you want is to pull off a sick tailwhip only to eat the curb because you weren't looking where you were going!
Summary: Watch the deck closely to spot your landing. Bring both feet down on top of the deck to stop its rotation. Bend your knees to absorb the impact. Ride away smoothly.

Problem: Article: Cut the Velveeta cheese brick with a sharp kitchen knife. The resulting cubes should each be about 1/2 inch to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) in every dimension. Make sure that the cubes are all evenly sized to ensure even melting. Small cubes are better than large ones since they melt quicker. Arrange the cubes of Velveeta cheese in a medium to large microwave-safe dish and pour up to 7 Tbsp (105 ml) of milk over them. Cover the dish with a lid or a piece of microwave-safe plastic wrap. The use of milk is strongly advised for this method since it prevents the cheese from burning in the microwave. Furthermore, the milk creates a much smoother sauce. Place the dish in the microwave and cook the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stir the contents of the dish, then microwave it again for another 30 seconds. Repeat as needed until the cheese melts down into a smooth sauce. You may need to microwave the Velveeta for up to 2 or 3 minutes total. Frequent stirring is necessary if you want to prevent the cheese from burning as it melts. The Velveeta cheese product should be served or otherwise used as soon as it comes out of the microwave. If you let it sit out too long or attempt to refrigerate it, the Velveeta will start to solidify again.
Summary: Cube the Velveeta. Combine the milk and cheese in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave in 30 second intervals. Serve warm.

Problem: Article: This will depend on what the sample is for. If you want laboratory results from your sample, you will likely have to purchase a kit. If you plan on storing the sample in case it is one day needed, you may not need a kit, although you may still choose to purchase one if you like. DNA test kits contain all of the materials you will need, along with complete instructions and consent forms, which are needed if the samples will be tested or kept on file with the authorities. In most cases, DNA samples cannot be collected at home if they are to be used in court. While home paternity tests are useful for your own knowledge, you will likely need to go to a lab and have your DNA collected by a professional if you need to use the results for matters involving custody or child support. If you are using a kit, there will be very specific instructions for what kind of sample to collect. If you are sending your samples to a lab without a kit, check with them to see what kinds of samples they prefer. Most DNA kits request either buccal (cheek) swabs or saliva samples. Hair samples are also popular. It is possible to extract DNA from almost any human sample, including nails, blood, sperm, and items that contain saliva, such as chewing gum. Some samples, however, are easier to extract from than others. If you choose a non-preferred sample type, the lab might not be able to extract DNA, or it might be more expensive.
Summary: Decide if you need a kit. Check legal requirements. Choose the right sample type.

Problem: Article: If you have recurrent thoughts of harming yourself, you need to receive therapy or other psychological treatment. Therapists are typically trained to deal with suicidal thoughts, and can serve as a crucial support to you. If you do not currently have a therapist, contact your health insurance provider for a list of approved clinicians or conduct a local search for low-cost, sliding scale, or free mental health clinics. Social support is crucial to coping with suicidal thoughts. This is because not having social support can result in depression and increased thoughts of suicide. If you have family or other loved ones you can turn to, do so. If you don't feel like you have anyone, your therapist can be that support system while she helps you build a support network for yourself. Talk about your thoughts to whoever you find comfortable talking about it with. If you don't feel like you have anyone, call your therapist or a service such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK). Tell others about your safety plan so they can be involved and ready to help you if you need assistance. Healthy relationships should not include being repeatedly insulted, berated, picked on, or injured. If you have a relationship that is abusive, get help now. A healthy support system includes a variety of people you can turn to for support and help, including friends, family, teachers, counselors, doctors, mental health professionals, and hotlines. Medication, especially antidepressants, can be used to treat the depressive symptoms that often coincide with thoughts of suicide. However, be aware that taking some antidepressants and other medications may actually increase your risk of suicidal thoughts and actions. Always discuss side effects and risks with your doctor before taking any medication, prescribed or otherwise. Ask your mental health professional about antidepressants, or other medications to treat suicidal thoughts and behaviors. If you do not have a doctor or psychiatrist, contact your health insurance provider or go to a low-cost health clinic in your area.
Summary:
Get psychological treatment. Maintain or develop a healthy support system. Consider medication.
