Article: Before attempting any removal, rinse the hook and the appendage with clean water to remove any debris from the hook and the wound area. Carefully push the hook through your finger, toe, etc. until it pushes through the other side. It hurts, but it's better than ripping it out the way it came. If the barb has not fully entered the skin, just pull the hook out carefully. It will hurt, but what do you expect? You have a fishhook in your hand. Take a pair of wire cutters and cut the barb off the hook. This will help you remove the hook without sustaining further damage to the affected area. This will hurt, but it is still way better than ripping the hook out. You want to minimize the amount of damage the hook does to your skin. If the wound is bleeding heavily, apply pressure to the wound until the bleeding slows down or stops. This may take several minutes to half an hour. If the bleeding has not slowed down in that period of time, you may need to seek medical assistance. If you have access to non-stick gauze or non-adherent bandage, apply them to the wound. These can help stop the bleeding without sticking.

Clean the area. Push the hook through. Cut the barb. Pull out the remainder of the hook. Stop the bleeding.
Article: This is a great ring size to work with, though the paper can be bigger if desired. Make sure the proportions stay the samethe paper should be twice as long as it is wide. Use a thick, colorful piece of paper for a sturdy, bright ring. Lay the piece of paper on a flat surface with the longest sides positioned horizontally. Bring the top of the piece of paper down to form a crease in the middle. Unfold the piece of paper once this is done. You're creating a hot-dog style fold in the piece of paper. With the paper unfolded and positioned horizontally again, bring the bottom long edge up to the middle fold. Flatten this section to form a crease, and then pull down the top long edge to the middle fold and form a crease here. All of the folds made so far should be parallel to one another. Without unfolding any creases, pick up the paper and turn it over so that the side facing you is smooth. Position the paper vertically and pull down the top of the paper until it reaches the bottom of the paper, forming a middle fold. Press down firmly on all of your creases. Bring each corner to the middle, creating two folded triangles that touch each other. Press down on the creases so that they're nice and flat. Only do this to the folded edge, not the opposite end where there isn't a fold. After you've formed good creases, unfold the two small triangles. Unfold the vertical fold so that the piece of paper is long and skinny, and fold in both triangles that have creases in the middle of the paper so that they disappear. After this step is done, your piece of paper will be folded in half vertically again, resembling a short pencil with a pointed tip and a flat bottom edge. The tip of the 'pencil' should be pointing left. Pull up the bottom long edge of the paper to the center, forming a crease. Do the same thing with the top long edge, folding it over so it's touching the middle. Only fold the top layer of paper, not the bottom layer at this point. Turn the paper over with the point still facing the left. Pull up the bottom long edge of the paper to the middle, creating a strong crease. Pull down the top long edge to the middle of the paper as well. Only unfold the long vertical fold so that your paper 'diamond' is in the middle of a long, skinny paper band. To make your diamond look more square, stick the flat end of a pencil inside the diamond to flatten out its top. Position the ring on your finger with the diamond facing upwards. To ensure it fits well, slide the edge of one end of the paper into the other end of the paper, tightening it as necessary. Curling the ends of the paper around a pencil can help maintain its ring shape.

Cut a piece of paper to be 5 by 10 centimetres (2.0 by 3.9in). Fold the piece of paper in half horizontally. Bring each long edge to the center fold, forming creases. Pick up the paper and turn it over before folding it in half. Fold down the corners of the new folded edge. Open the folded triangles and tuck them inside the paper. Lay the pencil-shaped paper horizontally on a flat surface. Flip the piece of paper over and fold in the other two long edges. Open the paper gently so the paper diamond is in the center. Fit the ring to your finger by connecting both ends.
Article: There are many museums that are specifically designed for children, and others that have special activities for children.The Association of Children's Museums can help you find a children's museum near you. In addition to museums specifically designed for children, many have exhibits that children might find interesting. Consider natural history museums, especially those with dinosaur or Egyptian mummy exhibits, planetariums, wax museums, or aviation museums. No matter where you live, there's likely to be a farm or petting zoo not far from you that will give your kids a great opportunity to interact with and learn about animals. Zoos and aquariums are also great ways for kids to learn about new animals while having fun. Bowling, ice skating, roller skating, swimming, gymnastics, and rock climbing are all good options. Kids will burn off energy, while also having fun and learning a new skill. You can also look for indoor trampoline parks, indoor water parks, and family fun centers in your area. Depending on where you live, you could visit the beach, the lake, or the mountains. Even if you don't live near any exciting outdoor attractions, you can try visiting a local park or taking a walk or a bike ride around town. If you don't have time for that or you'd like to save some money, take your children to rent a DVD/video. Make sure it is something that they will all enjoy and that they have all decided on. When you have to do a job or you are busy, get them together and put on the film.
