Q: Most temples will have a space designated for your shoes: usually a series of cubby-holes along one of the temple's exterior walls. Removing shoes shows respect for the temple and the deity statues within. This is not optional: removing shoes, sandals, or any other footwear is a mandatory rule of every Hindu temple. Socks are fine, you can keep wearing them. However, if the temple floor is made of marble or any other slippery stone, you want to remove socks so you don't fall. Traditionally, upon entering a Hindu temple, you'll see an array of deities and statues arranged around the temple walls. Begin with the deity on your left. From there, continue to walk through the temple in a clockwise direction, pausing before each deity you come across. Many temples have separate queues for men and women, and you will have to follow it accordingly. If you'd like to know ahead of time if there are separate queues for each gender, you can call the temple and ask in advance. When you finally get to see the statue closely, you may join the palms of your hands near the heart into a "namaskara" (a traditional pose) and bow. This is the minimum act you should perform in front of each statue as a respectful gesture. Practicing Hindus will often bow or fully prostrate themselves in front of statues as a sign of respect and reverence. If you feel comfortable, you can prostrate yourself as well, although it's not required.
A: Remove your footwear outside the temple. Circulate through the temple. Respectfully view the statues.

Q: People will need to do your work while you're gone; you should make this as easy as possible for them, without overburdening any one person. The Harvard Business Review suggests you "prepare a list of your core responsibilities, dividing them into tasks that can be assumed by other and those that aren't so easy to delegate, such as client relationships." Think about who in your organization might fill each role, and consider hiring someone to cover for you if necessary. This involves more than just telling the good news that you're pregnant. You'll also need to let them know the additional responsibilities they'll be taking on. This does not have to be a burden for them. Especially for subordinates, it can be an opportunity to take on new, higher-level responsibilities and to progress their career. You'll need to let your clients know that you will be stepping away, and also introduce them to the person who will be taking over for you in your absence. If you serve as the primary contact for anyone else suppliers if you're a restaurant manager, for instance you'll need to let them know your plans, too. The more you can tie-up before you leave, the less you will have to stress about while gone, and the easier the transition will be for your coworkers. It can be very hard to step right in after 3 months away if you have not kept in touch. Your company should know that you will not always be available, but do plan to check in regularly by email or via a short, weekly scheduled call. If you are going to be heading back to full-time work, there is a good chance you will need to enroll your child in daycare or to find a nanny. You don't have to wait until your child is born to start looking. Daycare Ask for friend's recommendations. Look for a daycare that is near your home or work, and which offers flexible pick-up and drop-off times. Visit and talk to the staff about their philosophies on childcare and discipline. Nanny Nannies are more expensive, but they also offer more flexibility for working parents. To cut the cost, consider a nanny-share. These work best if the children are about the same age and the parents have similar child-raising philosophies, so choose people you know, or be sure to interview both the nanny and the parents you will be sharing with. Partner - Your partner's company may have better leave policies than your own. If your partner can get paid leave, then consider having him or her stay home with the baby while you transition back to work. Knowing your partner is home with the baby can make for a much less stressful transition than sending your child to daycare. Don't forget the little things. It's best to take any personal belongings you treasure home, as you can't be certain they won't be disturbed. In some cases, another worker might even be using your desk when you're gone, so be sure to also remove personal files like performance reviews. And don't forget to set out-of-office messages that tell the caller or emailer who they can contact in your absence.
A: Plan out how you will divide up your current responsibilities. Inform your coworkers. Talk with clients and other outside contacts. Bring as many projects to a close as possible. Make plans to stay in touch. Consider your reentry strategy in advance. Remove personal property from your desk and set your out-of-office voice and email.

Q: Add water to a bottle of aspirin until the aspirin dissolves into a paste. Then, apply the aspirin paste to your nose ring bump each night. Let it sink in overnight and then wash it off in the morning. Make sure you continue to clean your nose ring as you normally would before and after applying aspirin paste. The strength of the aspirin does not matter, but stronger aspirin could potentially be more effective. Place a bag of chamomile tea in warm water to get it slightly damp. Then, press the bag on your nose ring bump for about 10 minutes. If the bag loses heat during this time, dab it in some warm water before reapplying it to the bump. Tea tree oil should never be applied directly to the skin, as this can cause a rash and irritation. Add only a few drops of tea tree oil to a small amount of a carrier oil such as olive oil. Then, dab a cotton ball in your oil. Swab the cotton ball around the bump to reduce swelling. Some people respond poorly to essential oils, so cease using this method if you notice a rash or another bad reaction. Baking soda's grainy texture can be used as an exfoliating agent, which may help reduce swelling and bumps associated with nose rings. Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a drop of water to make a paste. Then, rub your paste into your piercing. Then, rinse the paste off with warm water.
A: Try an aspirin paste. Use a chamomile tea compress. Apply tea tree oil. Try exfoliating with baking soda.

Q: Set it to 350F (175C). Cream the butter, adding sugar slowly. Combine until uniform and lighter in color. Add the flour in two or three increments, mixing in each one until well combined. Thoroughly mix in baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Knead the dough until it sticks together. Chill for 15 minutes. Roll out the dough to about in (0.6cm) thickness. Cut out cookies using cookie cutters in any shape. Transfer to a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Bake until fragrant and just beginning to crack on the surface. This can take anywhere from 8 to 15 minutes, depending on how large the cookies are. Check on them regularly. Let them cool completely on a wire rack or parchment paper. This takes about 510 minutes. You can melt the chocolate chips in a microwave, but they may burn or separate. For best results, melt over a double boiler. Stir in the peppermint oil. You can use a pastry brush or the bottom of a spoon to help spread it evenly. Alternatively, dip the cookies into the chocolate. Let cool completely on a wire rack, with something to catch the dripping chocolate.
A:
Preheat your oven. Mix the butter and sugar. Mix in remaining cookie ingredients. Knead and chill. Form the cookies. Bake the cookies. Let cool. Melt the chocolate chips and peppermint oil. Pour or spread the chocolate onto the cooled cookies.
