Q: Have 2 or 3 people help you lift the wrapped piano on the piano board onto the dolly. The flat shelf of the dolly will be about 3 inches (7.6cm) high, so you'll need to lift the body of the piano at least that high. Make sure to center the piano on the dolly so that it won't tilt off on one side or the other. A sturdy 4-wheeled dolly will be able to hold the weight of a large, heavy piano as it's wheeled from stage to moving truck. Do not attempt to move a grand piano with a 2-wheeled dolly. You could offer your friends pizza and beer after the move is completed to entice them to help you. Move slowly, and have 2 or 3 people help you roll the piano on the dolly. Keep the piano balanced and upright as you wheel it across sidewalks and the asphalt surface of the parking lot to the waiting moving truck. If you need to move the piano down stairs, you could lay a piece of plywood on the stairs for the dolly to roll down. Remember to put safety first, and keep the piano from tipping over or rolling on someone's foot. Wheel the piano and dolly up the loading ramp into the moving truck, and then lift the piano off of the dolly. (Or, if the dolly has wheel locks, keep the piano on the dolly and lock the wheels) Keep the piano in its vertical position. Then, use 3 or 4 buckle straps to secure the piano firmly to the wall of the moving truck. You'll need to set the wrapped legs and lyre in the moving truck too, but these can be placed just about anywhere. You could even set them on the passenger seat in the cab with you. It's best to rent a moving truck when moving a piano. Even if the piano would fit in a large pickup truck bed, you won't be able to strap the piano vertically to the side of the truck. If you don't have time to properly disassemble, pack, and move the piano, you can contact a piano-moving company and have them do it for you. These companies are highly specialized and move only pianos, so they're skilled at what they do. Look for a piano-moving company on the Piano Movers Network directory: https://www.pianomoversnetwork.com. Piano moving companies will also have insurance in case they damage your piano. This means that, should the piano accidentally be dropped, the company will pay for the damage. It won't come out of your pocket. A local move will likely cost between $150 and $600 USD, depending on the size of the piano and the complexity of the move. A long-distance move will average between $700 and $2,000 USD, depending on the distance moved.
A: Set the wrapped body of the piano on a sturdy dolly. Roll the piano to a moving truck. Strap the piano firmly in place. Hire a piano moving company.

Q: Retinol increases cell turnover, which can help fade your acne scars faster. Get a prescription cream from your dermatologist or buy a weaker, over-the-counter retinol. It may take a few weeks to see effects. Creams won't really decrease your scarring, but you can use over-the-counter creams to bleach skin that has been darkened by scars, minimizing their appearance. Be sure to use sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher on your scarred area, as well, because scarred and unscarred skin tend to tan differently scars are less noticeable when they blend in with the color of your surrounding skin. Some people find that rubbing vitamin E oil on their scars reduces their color and appearance. You can try this method by applying vitamin E oil to your scarred area, leaving it for 15-20 minutes, and washing it off with water. Do this regularly and watch for improvement. Wash your chest and pat the area dry. Use a cotton ball to rub fresh lemon juice onto your scarred area. Leave this on for about 10 minutes, then wash it off. This hasn't been scientifically proven to decrease scarring, but doing this weekly may lighten the appearance of scars over time. Lemon juice can make your skin more sensitive, so always wear sunscreen on exposed areas when you're outside. If you have mildly raised scars, you may benefit from using exfoliants made from natural ingredients similar to a very mild at-home dermabrasion. Try periodically using one of the following natural remedies to see if scars appear smoother or lighter over time: Mix honey and a little milk to get a paste. Apply this to your scars and leave on for a few minutes before rubbing it off with a soft, clean washcloth in the shower. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of water. Rub this onto your scars in a circular motion and leave it for 2 minutes. Wash it off with fresh, warm water. Preventing acne scars is easier than treating acne scars. See your dermatologist for medications as soon as you start to experience chest acne. You can also try to reduce your chest acne with natural remedies, such as: Do NOT pop your pimples. This can cause infection and worse scarring. Get about 15 minutes of sunlight on your acne-prone areas each day not enough to get a sunburn, though. Drink 7-9 cups of water a day to stay hydrated and help your body flush out toxins. Wear clean clothing, and change clothing often to help decrease the risk of chest acne.
A: Apply retinol over your chest. Use bleaching creams and sunscreen to minimize color contrast. Try vitamin E oil. Use a lemon juice application. Try a natural exfoliant for mild, raised scars. Prevent chest acne.

Q: It will usually be simplest to portion out your rice in whole cups. For example, two people sharing a cozy meal may only eat two to three cups of rice, whereas a larger meal may require six to eight. Working with even quantities will make it much easier to figure out exactly how much water you need to produce perfectly cooked rice. Using a dry measuring cup to scoop your rice will help you avoid any troublesome guesswork. For best results, only prepare as much rice as you plan on eating. Leftover rice doesn't reheat well. Place the brown rice in a mesh strainer or sieve and run it under the faucet, circling the strainer beneath the stream. This will rinse away most of the starch, which will prevent the grains from becoming sticky when cooked. Continue washing the rice until the water runs clear. You may notice that the water draining out of the rice has a slightly milky appearance. This is normal. Shake out as much excess water as you can before cooking the rice. Place the newly washed rice in the bottom of the cooker and spread it out. When preparing a lot of rice at once, make sure it's properly distributed so that it will cook evenly. Don't add more rice to the rice cooker than it can hold at one time. If you need to prepare an especially large amount, do it in batches.
A:
Measure out how much rice you want to make. Rinse the rice under cool water. Transfer the rice to the rice cooker.
