Use the crook of your hand between your thumb and index finger to support the weight of the flute. Use your thumb to support the bottom of the flute. Make sure your palm faces away from you so you can easily press the keys. Locate the bottom 3 keys on the main body of your flute. Put your index, middle, and ring fingers on each of the keys. Use your right pinky to press the first key on the foot joint. Keep your fingers curled so your hands make a C-shape while holding your flute. Don't press down on the keys immediately. Instead, keep your fingers resting on top of them. Sit on the edge of a chair so your back is straight and you're looking ahead. Keep your arms relaxed and away from your body as you raise the flute to your mouth. Make sure the flute is parallel to the ground rather than angling it down.

Article: Although it is very tempting to squeeze the pimples on your face, you should avoid this at all costs. This will make your skin look even more red and inflamed than it already is. If you have a pimple that is really annoying you, try dabbing a bit of tea tree oil on it. This will help the pimple go away faster. Not only does this spread around oil and bacteria on your face, making acne worse, it also makes your skin red. Keeping your hands away from your face will help the redness disappear. You may make your acne worse because you also have oil and dirt on your hands. When you put your hand on your face, even absentmindedly, you are transferring what is on your hands to your face. Wrap an ice cube in a paper towel, and gently hold it against the pimple for 20 minutes. Give yourself a 20-minute break, and then apply for another round of 20 minutes. This will help calm the skin on your face, and will feel soothing as well, especially if it is a hot day. If you prefer, you can also use a cool pack from the freezer, but be sure to wrap it in a thin towel so it doesn't get too cold on your skin. This won't help get rid of the pimple, but it will help take away the redness. Drop a few eye drops onto a cotton ball, and dab it gently on the pimple. It will help remove the redness from the skin around the pimple. Remember that this won't do anything to reduce inflammation, or the pimple itself, but in a pinch it can help make the redness less obvious. Cucumbers are great for reducing inflammation and redness. Place the cucumber in the fridge for a couple of hours (or in the freezer if you're in a hurry), cut off a few slices, and apply them to any pimples you are worried about. Let the cucumber slices rest on the pimple until they warm up. If you want to continue the treatment, apply a fresh, cold slice. This will help constrict the blood vessels around the pimple so there won't be so much redness. Many use aspirin to reduce redness and inflammation caused by pimples. Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which is commonly used to treat acne. Not only will it help reduce redness, it will also help dry up the pimple. Crush a few aspirin tablets until they are a fine powder. Add water a few drops at a time until you are able to form a paste. Don't add too much water as you want the paste to be slightly sticky. Apply to the pimples you are concerned about, and leave on for a few hours or overnight, if possible. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and water when you want to remove the past. Do not use this method if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. There are products made specifically to treat skin that is prone to redness. Look for gentle cleansers and creams that are formulated to reduce redness, like Eucerin Redness Relief or Aveeno Ultra-calming.

Don't pop your pimples. Keep your hands off of your face. Try ice cubes. Use eye drops. Apply cucumber slices. Apply aspirin to the pimple. Use a redness relief product.
Article: You can improve your older dog's appetite by feeding it at the same time every day. Most senior dogs should eat twice a day, or as recommended by your veterinarian. For example, try feeding your older dog at 8:00 in the morning and again at 5:00 in the evening. If your dog doesn't consume all its food right away, you can leave it out for the dog to eat as it desires. One way to increase your senior dog's appetite is to reduce snacking. Cut back on the amount of treats you feed your dog. If you feed your dog table scraps, you can also try cutting back on scraps. If reducing the amount of snacks your dog eats doesn't increase its appetite, try eliminating these treats altogether. Sometimes an older dog will refuse to eat due to an uncomfortable feeding situation, such as the presence of other pets. This is especially true if there is another dog that is aggressive. Try feeding your dog in a space free from other dogs and distractions, such as a comfortable, closed off room.

Set a regular feeding schedule. Cut back on snacks. Don't feed your dog around other pets.
