Q: Use a cookie dough scooper to help you make even ball amounts, about 1 tablespoon (15ml) (15 grams). To avoid multitasking, scoop the entire mixture and place the balls onto a flat surface (such as a baking sheet or counter top), lined with parchment paper. Use both palms of your hands and circle each ball in a circular motion, to allow any flat surfaces become evenly round. For the best results, it's recommended that you refrigerate the cake balls for at least two hours. By doing this, any coating won't affect the prepared cake when dipping.
A: Scoop the mixture. Roll the cake balls. Chill the cake balls.

Q: Before you shift your child's eating schedule, you should make sure your child has had more than one loose stool movement, usually within a short period of time. One loose stool movement does not mean your child has diarrhea. But several loose stool movements within a short period of time is a good indicator that your child has diarrhea and would benefit from changes to her eating schedule. Increasing the amount of fluids your child drinks and making changes to her diet are two key ways to treat diarrhea at home. This will help to prevent your child from becoming dehydrated and malnourished as she recovers from the diarrhea. Making adjustments to your child's eating schedule can also make it more appealing for her to eat when she has diarrhea. Having small meals and snacks throughout the day rather than three big meals can often be gentler on your child's stomach and help her maintain an appetite. Prepare small meals in small bowls and give them to your child throughout the day. Always pair the meals with lots of fluids so your child does not become dehydrated. Some sources recommend giving your child fluids first and then giving her solid food. You can try to get your child to drink several glasses of water before and after her small meals to keep her hydrated. Your child may not have much of an appetite while she has diarrhea, so you may want to focus on ingredients that your child enjoys and prepare them in ways that will encourage her to eat. For example, if your child likes chicken, then you can make chicken noodle soup. The soup should be easy for your child to eat with a sore stomach and give her the necessary nutrients to stay nourished despite her diarrhea. If your child's diarrhea clears up on its own after two to three days, you should slowly have your child go back to her normal eating schedule. This may mean giving her one to two full meals as well as one smaller meal or two small snacks. Do not force your child to eat her normal meals right after she has recovered as her body needs time to get used to lots of solid foods again. Some children can experience a bout of diarrhea once they return to their regular diet. This is usually due to your child's gut getting used to regular food again. This type of diarrhea does not last very long and is not the same as diarrhea due to an illness or infection. After a day or so, the diarrhea should go away and your child should be okay with eating her regular diet.
A: Wait for your child to have more than one loose stool movement. Have your child eat small meals throughout the day. Offer your child her favorite foods. Allow your child to gradually return to her normal eating schedule.

Q: Rinse the plums under cool running water, scrubbing gently with your fingers to remove any surface debris. You should also sort through the plums and remove any small bits of stems, leaves, or other contaminants. Toss out any soft, mushy fruit. Only use plums that are fresh and ripe for your jam. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat, then quickly dunk the plums in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer the blanched plums to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. You only need to blanch the plums if you plan on removing the skins. Skins can be included in the jam, if desired, but may give your preserves a chewier texture. Pinch the skin of each plum in between your fingers and slide it off the fruit. If the plums are ripe, you should be able to remove the skins without difficulty. Unripe plums may need a longer blanching time before you can remove their skins. Cut the plums in half and dig out the pits with a spoon. Continue chopping the plums into small pieces. As you chop up the plums, discard any brown spots or mushy portions. Note that you could also grind the fruit or chop it into slightly larger pieces if you would prefer the jam to be smoother or chunkier, respectively. Place the plum pieces in a large mixing bowl and add the lemon juice. Toss the plums with the lemon juice until well-coated. The lemon juice isn't strictly necessary, but using it will help prevent the plums from browning as you work.
A: Wash the plums. Blanch the plums. Peel off the skins. Pit and chop the plums. Toss the plum pieces with lemon juice.

Q: Keep in mind that, as a CSI, you will be entrusted to handle evidence and possibly testify in court. Expect law enforcement agencies to favor applicants with a clean record. Anticipate a background check when you apply. Refrain from criminal behavior. Agencies will still consider applicants with less than spotless records. So don't worry if you incur minor infractions, like parking tickets or noise complaints. Deal with them in a timely manner to demonstrate responsibility. Concentrate on sciences, including biology, chemistry, and physics. Take electives that focus on computers, since these are important tools in the CSI's lab. Use less obvious courses, clubs, and activities to strengthen other skillsets that CSIs need to perform their jobs effectively. For instance: Participate in theater or the debate club to become a confident public speaker. Join the school paper to practice writing concise reports. Take part in photography clubs or classes. Although educational requirements vary by agency, give yourself the most options possible by pursuing some level of higher learning. Aim for an associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree from an accredited college or university. If possible, enroll in a school that offers degrees in criminal justice, forensic science, and/or crime scene investigations. If not, major in biology, chemistry, or a similar hard science. Some agencies may only require a high school diploma or general education diploma (GED). However, these agencies are more likely to be found in areas with very small populations and fewer CSI positions to fill. If you are unable or uninterested in pursuing a traditional degree through a two- or four-year school, consider alternate means. Research accredited online programs that offer certification in forensic science and/or crime scene investigation. Consider attending on-site training courses that do the same. Earn certification in less time than it would take to complete a more formal education.
