INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The first thing you want to do to treat a small burn is sooth the skin with cool (not cold) water to decrease its temperature. You can do this by running cool water over the burned area from a flowing source or soaking it in cool water. Allow for a least five minutes of soaking to decrease the temperature, so the skin will stop the burning process. Be sure to remove any rings or other tight items from the burned area, as the affected region will swell very quickly. If the area is too large to be soaked, then go to the shower and run cool water over it for at least five minutes. Rather than use flowing water, you could also place a clean towel soaked with cool tap water on the burn. Once the cooling has taken place, you will feel more comfortable and better able to examine and assess the burned area. You'll need to determine the degree of the burn as well as consider other factors, such as size, location, and type of burn. Assessing these factors will help you determine whether or not you can treat the burn yourself at home or whether you should seek medical attention. In most cases, if the wound is a small first-degree burn that is not on your genitals, hands, face, or joints, you can treat and care for the burn at home. Use a soft cloth and take care not to use anything abrasive. Be gentle and pat, don't rub, especially if there is any blistering or outer skin damage, as you don't want to pull off any of the skin. Once the affected area is dry, obtain an ointment and apply a generous amount so that you are covering the burn but not rubbing it in. The ointment can have antibiotics in it, but does not need to. Other options include petroleum jelly or aloe vera gel. If using aloe vera, make sure to use only 100% pure aloe vera gel and not a lotion or other formula. Neosporin is a good over-the-counter choice for an antibiotic ointment. If you are allergic to Neosporin, you can go to the doctor and obtain a prescription for bacitracin or bactroban. A protective dressing is a made from rolled gauze that you can purchase at any drugstore or pharmacy. After applying the antibiotic ointment, wrap the area in a circular fashion with the rolled gauze. Secure the dressing with surgical adhesive tape, also available at the drugstore. This protective dressing will do two functions. First, it will provide a protective barrier against re-injury. Second, the covering will also provide protection from infection, given that your skin's natural barrier from infection has been compromised due to the burn. This may not always be necessary, but keep it protected with dressings if you wish.

SUMMARY: Cool the affected area with water. Assess the burn. Pat the area dry. Apply some ointment. Apply a protective dressing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can find the mass number by rounding the atomic mass to the nearest whole number. This accounts for the fact that the atomic weight is an average of all possible atomic masses for that element, including ions.For example, the atomic weight of Carbon is 12.011, which rounds to 12. Similarly, the weight of Iron is 55.847, which rounds to 56. The mass number is calculated by adding together the number of protons and neutrons. This allows you to easily find the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the number or protons from the mass number! Use this formula: Neutrons = Mass Number - Protons For example, Carbon's mass number is 12, and it has 6 protons. Since 12 - 6 = 6, you know Carbon has 6 neutrons. For another example, Iron's mass number is 56, and it has 26 protons. Since 56 - 26 = 30, you know Iron has 30 neutrons. An atom's isotopes will contain a different number of neutrons, which changes the atom's weight.

SUMMARY: Determine the mass number of the element you're studying. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the neutrons.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before applying any makeup, make sure that your face is clean and clear of any makeup you may have been wearing previously. This will ensure that you are starting with a blank canvas. A clean, fresh face will help the makeup to apply smoothly. The best type of eyeliner to use to create a graphic eye look is liquid liner. You can also use an angled eyeliner brush and some dark powder to trace where you want your eyeliner to go, but ultimately, you will be using liquid liner to create the look. The best type of liquid liner to use is a brush or a fine-tipped felt pen. These will give you the most precise application. Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Trooper is a popular eyeliner to use that is extremely precise, yet easy to use.

SUMMARY: Start with a fresh face. Obtain your eyeliner.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The sparks and light that welding gives off is extremely bright and can harm your eyes. There's also the possibility of metal debris or sparks flying into your face. Purchase an auto-darkening welding helmet online or at a hardware store to protect your eyes and face from the sparks and heat generated from the welding machine. Purchase welding gloves online or at a hardware store. Welding gloves are typically made of cow or pig hide and will protect your hands from electrical shock, heat, and radiation. Always wear gloves when welding something. An apron will prevent sparks from the welding machine from making contact with your clothes or potentially burning you. Get a durable, non-flammable apron online or at a hardware store. Look at all the wires, hoses, and connections on your welder. Replace any damaged or worn components before using the welder. Some welders require calibration at regular intervals. Always be sure that the calibration is up to date; there is no grace period.

SUMMARY:
Purchase a welding helmet. Get heavy duty welding gloves. Wear a leather apron. Inspect your welder before beginning.
