Q: Castor oil packs aid in the elimination and detoxification of the colon. Get a cotton or wool cloth, plastic wrap, a bath towel, a hot water bottle or heating pad, and castor oil. Pour the oil onto the cloth until it is well moistened. Lie down and place the cloth directly onto your abdomen. Place plastic wrap over all sides of the cloth to prevent staining of your clothes or bedding. Wrap the towel around your torso over the plastic. Then apply the hot water bottle or heating pad (set to medium) over the towel. Rest for 10-30 minutes. After 10-30 minutes, remove the cloth and clean your abdomen. You may reuse the cloth without washing it for approximately 3 weeks. Make sure you don't fall asleep with the heating pad on as it could burn you or make you overheated. Enemas can be used to help with bowel cleansing during a detox program. When you do an enema, you inject fluid into your colon in order to stimulate a bowel movement and help flush the colon of impurities. Like laxatives, enemas can cause dependence if used too frequently, but they are safe and effective when performed properly during a short-term cleanse. Environmental toxins found in cigarette smoke, recreational drugs, pesticides, and herbicides can be counterproductive to your cleanse. It's important to stay away from these types of toxins in general, but especially during a colon cleanse.
A: Use castor oil packs. Try an enema. Avoid toxins.

Q: Before reducing risk, you must understand how much risk you can expect from each type of investment. Consider the purpose of your investments, and the amount of risk you can afford to carry on each one. Stocks are some of the riskiest investments, but can also provide the highest return. Stocks carry no guarantee of repayment, and changing investor confidence can create market volatility, driving stock values down. Bonds are less risky than stocks. Because they are debt instruments, repayment is guaranteed. The risk level of a bond is therefore dependent on the credit worthiness of the issuer; a company with shakier credit is more likely to default on a bond repayment. You must also take into account the interest rate risk, which affects bonds more than it affects stocks. A rising interest rate means a falling bond price. Cash-equivalent investments, such as money market accounts, savings accounts, or government bonds are the least risky. These investments are also highly liquid, but they provide low returns. When deciding on an overall level of risk, you need to assess how you want to use the money from your investments in the future. If you are planning a big expenditure in the near future (such as a house or tuition), or you are retiring soon, you should aim for a relatively low-risk portfolio. This will help ensure that market volatility doesn't cause your investments to lose a lot of value just before you need to draw money from them. If you are investing for a long-term goal, more risk is appropriate. Long-term goals allow you to wait out stock price fluctuations and realize high returns over the long run. A great way to mitigate the inherent risk of investing is to hedge your investment. The idea is to protect or balance out the risk of one vulnerable asset by investing in something that, should the vulnerable asset suffer a loss, the other asset will experience a gain. It may not entirely offset the loss you experience, but it can reduce it. Hedging is not free, and the idea is not to make money from this investment, rather, it is to protect yourself. Consider, for instance, the insurance you pay on your car. If you get in an accident, your insurance may save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in repairs. On the other hand, you may never get into an accident, but you will have made those insurance payments, just in case. Learn more by reading How to Hedge in Investments. Diversifying your portfolio means buying a single type of asset from many different companies. This hedges against the risk that a single company or industry will perform poorly or go bankrupt. For example, if you buy stocks in 30 different companies, it is not likely that all 30 will perform poorly or go bankrupt at once, barring an economy-wide downturn. However, if you used the same amount of money to invest in only one company's stock, the company may perform poorly and drag your entire stock portfolio down with it. Remember that diversification can't protect against systematic risks. To diversify your portfolio, consider an exchange-traded fund (EFT). An EFT is like a mutual fund in that it is an index of assets (bonds, stocks, futures, etc.), but unlike a mutual fund, it can be traded like a common stock and has a higher liquidity.
A: Determine the level of risk associated with your varied investments. Determine the level of risk you are willing to shoulder. Understand hedging. Lower each asset type's risk through diversification.

Q: First, pull the bulb away from your bra or surgical wrap. Pull the stopper out of the end of the bulb. Turn it over, and squeeze the liquid into the measuring cup. Avoid touching the part of the stopper that goes inside the bulb, as well as the end of the bulb where you pulled the stopper out. Turn the bulb back over. Squeeze it together with your hand, flattening it out. Put the stopper back in while you have it squeezed together. Place the bulb back in your bra or wrap. Some people also use a fanny pack to hold the bulb. After measuring out the fluid, write down how much you drained. Your doctor will need this information to assess how you're doing with your recovery. Also, note the color of the fluid. Pour the liquid into the toilet, and flush it away. Rinse out the cup for later use. Repeat the process for each drain you have, if you have more than 1. When the bulb has filled up, you need to empty it. You'll likely need to perform this procedure 2 to 3 times per day, depending on how much fluid you're draining. Always wash your hands before and after touching your drain.
A: Empty the drain as instructed. Replace the stopper and the bulb. Write down the measurement. Pour the liquid away. Repeat when the drain is full.

Q: Place the puzzle at an appropriate height and mark the corners with a pencil. Put the puzzle on the wall. Put a thumb tack in each of the four corners. Finally, erase the pencil marks. Place your quarter inch (6.35 millimeter) foam core board on your work table. Put the finished, glued puzzle on top. Draw an outline around the edge of the puzzle, but try to mark a thin line that can be easily erased. Use a razor blade and a ruler to cut the piece of foam core to the correct dimensions. Spray the foam core with adhesive glue, and then place the puzzle on top. You may want a second set of hands to properly center the puzzle on the foam core. Spray the adhesive glue in a well ventilated area. The puzzle needs to be glued together prior to mounting. Mounting to backer board prevents warping. Your local craft store may offer this service, which involves attaching the puzzle directly to a piece of backer board with special adhesive. If you plan to keep the puzzle on your wall for a long time to illustrate your accomplishment, you may prefer to get the puzzle framed. You could take the puzzle to a local framer. You could also pick up an inexpensive poster frame from a poster or photography store.
A:
Tack the puzzle to the wall with thumb tacks. Use foam core to mount your puzzle and prevent warping. Ask a crafts store to mount your puzzle to backer board. Get the puzzle framed.
