When planning your trip, try to choose places to stay that have fewer mosquitoes. If possible, stay in screened quarters or quarters with air conditioning. In general, the best areas to stay in are cooler areas away from any stagnant water. Stagnant water serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Stagnant water sources such as lakes or non-running streams are especially prone to mosquitoes. Mosquito nets are lightweight, tightly-woven nets that keep mosquitoes out of your tent or bed at night. Set the net up over your sleeping area each night before you go to sleep. You can also use them to cover any open windows or doors. Since you may not be able to find a mosquito net where you're going, buy one to take with you when you travel. Get dressed inside your mosquito net in the morning. Make sure to check it regularly for tears. You might want to bring an extra net as a backup. Buy mosquito nets treated with permethrin for the best protection. If possible, you should keep doors and windows tightly sealed while you're indoors. People who sleep outside or are exposed to the outdoors at night are at much higher risk of contracting malaria. You may not be able to close the doors and windows if you're in a very hot, muggy place. Whether you can or not, use a mosquito net over your bed for added protection. You'll reduce the number of mosquito bites you get if you wear long pants and sleeves while you're out and about during the day. Bring high-quality lightweight clothing that will allow your body to breathe while protecting you from bites. Choose the mosquito spray that's most effective in the area where you're traveling. Talk to your doctor about your options and to get recommendations. If you have children, consult their pediatrician about what types and strengths are safe for use on children. In almost all areas where malaria is present, DEET is the most commonly used compound. DEET is a chemical compound known as N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, or just diethyltoluamide. This repellent comes in many different concentrations, from 4% to 100%. However, concentrations over 50% do not provide meaningful added protection. Apply the spray to your clothing and the room where you're staying for best results. Combining insect sprays with permethrin-treated clothing and gear offers the best protection. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides guidelines for the use of DEET. Read them carefully before using this product. Improper usage can lead to health problems. Try to plan activities that permit you to be in protected areas between dusk and dawn. The mosquito that transmits malaria is most active at night.

Make a folder on your computer, containing the images you want to animate. Each image will be a separate frame of the animation. Alternatively, you can convert a short video into an animated GIF. There are many free online GIF generators, including imgflip, makeagif, and gifmaker. These do not have as many features as GIMP or other image-editing software, but can be used quickly and easily without any downloads or registration. If you are making a GIF from a video file, you probably want to select a small portion of the video, instead of uploading the whole thing. You can easily do this for free by downloading VLC, then following these instructions: Open VLC, then use File Open File... to open the video file. Find the beginning of the segment you want to turn into a GIF. Select Playback Record in the top menu. Play the video until the segment you want to "GIF-ify" is over. Press Record again to stop the recording. The new, smaller file is now saved in the same folder as the original video. Look for an Upload Images link. If you are converting a video, look for an Upload Video link instead. Video upload may take a long time if your internet connection is slow or the video file is large. Uploading no more than a few seconds of video is recommended. These online tools usually let you change the order of the images in the GIF, in case you uploaded them in the wrong order. You may also be able to add text, change the size of the images, and set the animation speed. Look for a Generate GIF, create your gif, pr Create Now link. Your images or video will be turned into a GIF animation. Usually, a list of available options will show up, including links to post the GIF in forums, download it, or embed it in an HTML web page.

Connect a rubber hose to an indoor or outdoor faucet and run it to your pool. Then, turn the faucet on and let the pool fill up with fresh, unsalted tap water equal to the amount of water you removed earlier. After filling your pool with water, mix a small section of it with a pool brush or pole for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, test that area of the water to get a preliminary salt reading. If it is still above the pool's recommended PPM, you may need to dilute the water further. If it is below the recommended PPM, you'll need to add more salt to the pool. The amount added should bring your water's sodium level back up to the recommended PPM value, so look at the conversion chart located on your pool salt bag to see how much sodium you should put in. Look for non-iodized, evaporated, granulated pool salt that has a purity level of at least 99.8%. Stay away from salts that contain additives like calcium chloride and sodium ferrocyanide. You can find pool salt at most pool supply stores. Once you've added the water and any additional salt, you'll need to mix everything together using a pool brush or pole to fully dilute the solution. When you're finished, you shouldn't be able to see any individual salt grains in the water. After mixing the solution together, let it rest for at least 24 hours. Then, check the water's salt level readout. The water is safe to swim in if it is within a few hundred units of the recommended PPM level. If it is not, repeat the dilution process.
