Q: Gain control of your study space. You should feel comfortable so that studying is more enjoyable. If you hate sitting at a table in the library, then find somewhere much more pleasant, like your sofa or a beanbag chair on your floor. Try studying in comfortable clothes, like a cozy sweatshirt or yoga pants. The place where you study should be free from distractions and relatively quiet. Don't choose a place so comfortable that you risk falling asleep. You want to be comfortable, not ready to fall asleep. A bed isn't a very good study spot when you're tired. Traffic outside your window and quiet library conversations are fine white noise, but interrupting siblings and music blasting in the next room are not. You may want to go somewhere away from people who may provide distractions or ask them to keep quiet for a while. Some people prefer silence while they study, others prefer music in the background. Music can be beneficial to your studying by helping you be calm, elevating your mood, and motivating you. If you listen to music, stick to instrumental music, which is music that has no words like classical, movie scores, trance, or baroque. If it doesn't distract you, listen to familiar music with words. Turn off anything that distracts you from your studying. You may be able to listen to rock music with words but not pop. Figure out what works for you. Make sure to keep the music at a moderate to low volume. Loud music can distract you while quiet music can help you while studying. Skip the radio. The commercials and the DJ's voice can bring you out of your study zone. TVs can also distract you, so turn them off. Background sounds can help you "get in the zone" and focus on your studies without getting distracted. Natural sounds such as waterfalls, rain, thunder, and jungle sounds can give enough white noise to keep you focused and block out other sounds. There are many places online to find these kinds of sounds, including YouTube. Having the television on while you study is generally a bad idea. It can distract you a lot and make you focus on the TV show or movie instead of the book. Plus, voices are extremely distracting because it engages the language center of your brain. Eat healthy, nutritional foods while you study instead of foods filled with sugar and fat. Go for energy boosting foods, like fruit, or foods to make you feel full, like vegetables and nuts. If you need something sweet, eat dark chocolate. Drink water to keep you hydrated, and drink tea if you need a caffeine boost. Avoid foods with high amounts of sugar and carbs, like instant noodles, chips, and candy. Don't drink energy drinks and sugary sodas; they contain high amounts of sugar which will cause you to crash. If you drink coffee, skip the sugar-heavy drinks. Have your snacks prepared when you begin a study session so you don't get hungry and go rummaging for food.
A: Find a good study spot. Choose background music carefully. Listen to background sounds. Keep the television turned off. Snack smart.

Q: Find an empty spritzer bottle, or empty one and rinse it out completely. Fill the bottle with vinegar, or dilute it halfway with water. Some stains that vinegar will typically remove are soda, juice, milk, jelly, mud and various food-based stains. Test the vinegar in a hidden spot to make sure it won't fade or damage the carpet. Then spray the spot so that it is totally soaked with vinegar. Allow the vinegar to sit for 10 minutes so that it has time to work. After the vinegar loosens the stain, apply pressure to the cloth with the palm of your hand. Rinse the cloth and repeat this process until the stain is completely removed from the carpet.
A: Pour vinegar into a spray bottle. Spray the spot with the vinegar. Dab at the stain with a clean, white cloth.

Q: This is the safest method of thawing ham, but also takes the most time. Put the frozen ham in a rimmed pan or on a baking sheet to catch any drips that occur during the thawing process. Place the ham in its container on the lowest shelf of your fridge. Thawing ham in the fridge takes about 4 to 6 hours per 1 pound (0.45kg). If the ham is larger than 10 to 11 pounds (4.5 to 5.0kg), it could take up to 7 hours per 1 pound (0.45kg) for it to thaw. Allow 2-3 days to thaw a ham of 10 pounds (4.5kg) in the refrigerator. After your ham has thawed in the fridge, it can remain refrigerated for 3-5 days before you cook it. You can also freeze it again if you don't cook it in that time frame. Wrap the ham securely in an airtight plastic bag. Plug the sink, and place the ham in it. Then fill the sink with cold water. Drain it every half hour and replace the water to make sure it stays cold enough. Allow about 30 minutes per 1 pound (0.45kg) of ham to thaw. Make sure the water is cold, not warm or hot. If the water isn't cold, the outside of the ham could reach temperatures of 40F (4C) before the inside of the ham is thawed. Temperatures this high can cause bacterial growth and food poisoning. Cook the ham immediately after you've thawed it in cold water. It cannot be frozen again with this method. Put the microwave on its defrost setting. Consult your microwave's instruction manual for the correct defrosting time based on the weight of your ham. This method is not ideal for larger pieces of meat. The meat will cook unevenly as the outside begins cooking before the inside is thawed. Some parts may become dry and overcooked. Avoid thawing meat over 2 pounds (0.91kg) in the microwave. After thawing in the microwave, ham should be cooked immediately. Do not refreeze it. You can cook a frozen ham without thawing it first. Allow extra cooking time. It will take approximately 50% longer to cook a frozen ham than a thawed one, depending on its size.
A: Let your ham thaw in the refrigerator if time permits. Thaw the ham in cold water if you're more pressed for time. Use the microwave to thaw ham as a last resort. Skip the thawing altogether to save time.

Q: Warts typically go away with home treatment or on their own. If you've been treating your wart but it isn't improving, talk to your doctor to find out if you need additional treatments. Your doctor may be able to give you a stronger treatment than what you can find in the store. They may treat your wart in their office and might even be able to remove it. Alternatively, your doctor might offer you a prescription-strength topical cream. Sometimes warts can develop on your hands and feet, which might make it hard for you to carry out your daily activities. If this happens, talk to your doctor about treatment options that can help your wart heal faster. Then, follow your doctor's advice so you can get back to your normal activities. Medical treatments can help your wart heal a lot faster than they would with home treatment. Try not to worry, but this could be a sign that what you have is more serious than a wart. For instance, it's possible that your bump is skin cancer. Visit your doctor to get your skin examined so you can get a proper diagnosis. Then, discuss your treatment options with your doctor. It might just be a wart, so you probably don't need to worry. However, it's better to be safe than sorry. While you don't need to worry, developing several warts all at once can be a sign that your immune system isn't functioning right. Your doctor can make sure you're okay. If your immune system is compromised, your doctor will figure out why so that you can get better. For instance, you may have an infection that needs treatment or you might have an autoimmune disorder.
A:
See your doctor if you've treated your warts but they won't go away. Visit your doctor if your warts are interfering with your daily life. Get medical treatment if your warts are painful or change in appearance or color. Talk to your doctor if you suddenly develop multiple warts.
