How to Paint Ceramic Co - authored by wikiHow Staff | Reader - Approved | 19 References Explore this Article Painting by Hand Spray Painting Ceramic Creating Designs and Patterns Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles Painting ceramic items is a fun and inexpensive way to refresh old home décor or create a personalized gift or centerpiece . The process for painting ceramic tile and ceramic dishes or pottery is generally the same with a few slight variations due to the size of the projects . You can apply paint to ceramic by hand or with spray paint , and you can add fun details with paint brushes and pens . When you ’ re sanding and painting ceramic , always work in a well - ventilated area for safety . Method 1 Painting by Hand 1 Pick latex , acrylic , or epoxy paint for ceramic tile or large pieces of pottery . For projects like painting a tile wall or a ceramic vase , use a liquid paint that you can apply by hand . Opt for epoxy paint to get a glossy , highly durable and long - lasting finish . Alternatively , acrylic and latex paint are n ’ t as durable for high - traffic areas as epoxy , but are easier to find and work with . Keep in mind that epoxy is more expensive than most other kinds of paint . Tip : Latex paint is best for areas where you wo n ’ t be walking since the finish is softer and more easily scratched and scuffed . 2 Clean the ceramic thoroughly with water and cleaner . For ceramic tile , thoroughly scrub the area you plan to repaint with an abrasive cleaner , and wipe it down until it ' s clean and dry . For pieces of pottery and dishes , simply wipe down the surface of the item with a wet rag until it ’ s clean of dirt and debris . Alternatively , you can also use a clean sponge to gently scrub off any caked - on dirt or stains . 3 Sand the surface of the ceramic to remove any glossy coating . For dishes and pottery , sand lightly by hand with a piece of steel wool . For ceramic tile , affix 180 or 220 - grit sandpaper to an orbital sander and sand your tiles down carefully . Be sure to wipe up any dust with a wet rag after sanding . The sandpaper creates microabrasions in the glaze of the dish or tile , allowing paint to stick more easily . Your goal is to remove any extra gloss remaining above the ceramic itself , without damaging the ceramic . 4 Apply 2 light coats of primer to the ceramic . Use a spray or oil - based liquid bonding primer for the tile , and coat it with light , even layers . Let each layer dry in between painting coats to ensure that the paint will stick . If the primer looks gritty after 2 or 3 coats , lightly sand the surface with a piece of steel wool . Let the primer dry for 12 - 24 hours before continuing with the project . Tip : If you ’ re painting tile on the walls of a shower , look for a special primer that ’ s formulated for wet areas , such as an epoxy primer . 5 Paint small areas of the ceramic at a time with a zigzag pattern . Dip a roller or paint brush into the paint and dab it on a piece of cardboard or a tray to remove excess paint . Move the brush or roller in diagonal lines in small sections to coat the ceramic . Once one section is coated , move to the area to paint diagonally until the surface of the ceramic is covered . Note : Remember to let the paint dry according to the directions on the packaging . 6 Sand the ceramic lightly after the first coat is dry . Once the paint is dry , use a 220 - grit sandpaper to lightly sand the paint . Hold the sandpaper in your hand , and focus on areas where you have ridges or drips from the paint . If you ’ re sanding a piece of pottery or a dish , opt for a piece of steel wool instead . Make sure the first coat is completely dry before you begin sanding . If the paint is still wet , you can smear it with the sandpaper . 7 Add a second coat of paint , finishing with long , vertical strokes . Apply the paint in small sections using a roller in a zigzag pattern . Once the tile is coated , add a final coat in vertical lines from the top to the bottom of the ceramic . This will provide an even , smooth finish for the paint . Note : You can use this method to paint both tile and pieces of ceramic pottery . It provides even coverage that is durable and visually appealing . 8 Let painted ceramic dry for 2 - 3 days before using it . If you ’ ve painted a ceramic tile wall , updated ceramic flooring , or refinished a piece of pottery , let the paint dry completely before touching the ceramic . While it may feel dry to the touch after just a day , leave it dry for an additional 24 - 48 hours to ensure that it is cured . You should also wait for 2 - 3 days after applying a clear coat or sealant to the ceramic to ensure that it ' s cured . 9 Apply clear urethane or epoxy to ceramic tile for a glossy finish . For an easy and inexpensive finish , apply urethane in 2 coats , waiting for each coat to dry completely . For a more durable but expensive finish , apply 1 - 2 coats of clear epoxy to the tile . You can apply an epoxy finish over acrylic or latex paint to make it more durable and water - resistant . Method 2 Spray Painting Ceramic Choose a spray paint for a quick and easy finish . For glossy and previously painted pieces of ceramic , opt for a ceramic or plastic - safe spray paint , which contain compounds that fuse to smooth surfaces . Use glossy spray paint for projects with more surface area where you want easy , even coverage with a minimal amount of work . Apply 1 - 2 light coats of spray primer . If the ceramic is n ’ t already white , choose a ceramic - safe primer . Shake the can for 15 - 30 seconds before spraying the surface of the ceramic with a light coat . Then , let the coat dry for 2 - 3 hours , and then apply an additional coating of primer for more coverage . If the primer has a gritty texture to it when it dries , lightly sand the paint with a piece of steel wool to remove ridges and bumps . 3 Spray 3 - 4 light coats of paint onto the primed ceramic . Apply the paint in zigzag lines all over the item , including the top , front , and sides . After you finish applying a coat , let the paint dry until it ’ s slightly tacky , which should take about 15 - 30 minutes . Then , apply an additional 1 - 3 coats of paint until it is completely coated . With glossy paint , you may be able to achieve an even coverage within 2 coats , depending on which shade you ’ re painting the item . 4 Let the paint dry according to the directions . Place the painted item in a well - ventilated area to dry for 30 minutes to 1 hour . When you think the paint is dry , lightly touch an inconspicuous spot , like the back or bottom of the item , to ensure that the paint is completely cured . If you live in a hot or humid area , it may take up to 2 hours for the paint to dry completely . Be patient and try not to touch it until it ’ s mostly dry ! Creating Designs and Patterns Add fine details , like vines and flowers , with small brushes . To paint flower buds or leaves , use a pointed brush to apply a tiny blob of paint to the dish where the base of the bud or leaf will be . Then , drag and lift the brush in the direction of the tip of the bud or leaf . A flat - tipped brush is ideal for geometric work such as rims and straight lines , as well as for filling in larger areas of paint . If you plan to stencil in a design , a small flat - tipped brush is also probably the best choice . Write and doodle designs with an acrylic or oil - based paint pen . Wipe down your ceramic object with a damp towel and then dry it with a clean towel . Then , use the markers to draw patterns , write phrases , or create drawings . When you ’ re happy with the artwork , bake the object in the oven at 375 ° F ( 191 ° C ) for 40 minutes . If your paint pen is n ' t writing , hold the pen against a piece of paper or cardboard so the tip is pressed down . Then , shake the pen to move the paint down onto the tip . Use painter ' s tape to paint stripes on tiles , dishes , and bowls . Add the painter ’ s tape in even lines , and then use a small brush to apply ceramic paint in between the paint strips . Let the paint dry for 5 - 10 minutes , and then remove the tape before the paint is completely dry . Bake the item in the oven according to the package directions . If you ’ re painting a plate , mug , or bowl , be sure to use food - safe paint . Paint over a stencil on ceramic tile to create a dynamic and eye - catching pattern . To make a ceramic tile wall or floor more interesting , tape a stencil with a fun pattern on it to the tile . Then , brush or roll paint over the stencil , and carefully lift the stencil to reveal the design . If you ’ re covering a large area , position the stencil on the next tile to create a repeated design . If you ’ re painting over glossy or sealed ceramic , be sure to sand the area thoroughly with an orbital sander before applying your paint with the stencil . If you sand the area , you should paint over it with a solid color to achieve an even finish before stenciling . 5 Bake dishes that have been hand painted with ceramic paint . If you chose to paint a dish with a paint pen or acrylic paint for ceramics , set it aside to dry for 24 hours . Then , bake it in an oven according to the manufacturer ' s instructions . Be sure to turn off the oven after the specified time , and let the item cool completely before removing it . Always follow the manufacturer ' s instructions for curing the paint . The paint that you use may need to cure for a longer period or at a high temperature . If you do n ’ t have the directions for your ceramic paint , place the piece of pottery in an unheated oven . Then , turn the heat on to 350 ° F ( 177 ° C ) and let the ceramic heat up for 30 minutes before removing it from the oven .

How to Paint a Mural Co - authored by wikiHow Staff | Reader - Approved | 21 References Explore this Article Cleaning and Protecting the Painting Area Pre - Sketching Your Design Transferring and Finalizing Your Design Show 1 more . . . Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles Painting a mural takes plenty of preparation , equipment , and effort . A mural is basically a large work of art placed directly on a wall . It requires a lot of the same basic techniques as smaller paintings , but on a larger scale . With a mural , you often need to outline your design with a grid and then lay down paint strategically so the colors dry when you ’ re done with them . Murals are often painted in layers , then finished with a varnish to be preserved for long - term enjoyment . Part 1 Cleaning and Protecting the Painting Area 1 Choose a suitable location for your mural . Artists paint murals on large , visible surfaces . The easiest surface to work with is a flat wall without a lot of obstructions . The amount of wall space you need depends on the size of the mural you plan on creating . Factor in your ability to access higher parts of the surface you wish to paint . Dedicated painters make just about any surface work . Some painters prefer corrugated metal , brick , or even ceilings . A bumpy surface can give your mural a unique texture . Remember to get permission if you do n ’ t own the wall space . You have free reign inside your home if you own it , but ask before you paint on someone else ' s property or a public space . 2 Set up scaffolding or a ladder if you ca n ’ t reach the entire wall . For most mural projects , you will need some sort of boost to reach high areas . Use a small stepladder to access areas you ca n ' t otherwise reach . If you need to go up high , set up scaffolding or rent an aerial lift . Check with local home improvement stores and construction supply companies . Many rent scaffolding that will allow you to paint high areas safely . If your painting surface is low enough , you do n ’ t need scaffolding . Paint while standing . 3 Clean the wall with soap and water to remove impurities . Check the wall over for signs of damage , difficult stains , and other issues you need to treat before you begin . Any debris on the wall will show up in your work . Mix about 3 US tbsp ( 44 mL ) of a basic liquid laundry detergent or dish soap into a bucket of water , then scrub the wall with a rag . Let the wall dry before you start painting . For mold , grease , and other stubborn stains , get trisodium phosphate from a home improvement store . Mix it in water to create an effective cleaning solution . Repair damaged areas as needed . For example , fill in cracks with spackle . Paint over damaged areas you ca n ’ t repair or incorporate them into your design . 4 Protect adjacent surfaces with painter ’ s tape and a drop cloth if needed . Use blue painter ’ s tape to form a border around your mural surface . Set out a drop cloth underneath the wall to catch dripping paint . Painter ’ s tape and drop cloths are available at most home improvement stores . 5 Pre - paint the wall a solid color if you need to make it uniform . This base layer of paint creates a background for your mural . It can be multiple colors if you have a design for your mural in mind . If not , try a light color like white that is easy to paint over later . For example , if you ’ re planning on painting a landscape , you might paint the sky a pale blue , then paint the foreground green . At this point , you ’ re only creating a background , so forget about adding small details . To cover a lot of space quickly , use tools like a paint roller , sprayer , or even a sponge . Part 2 Pre - Sketching Your Design Draw your mural design on a piece of paper before painting it . Plan your mural design by making a basic mock - up . Use pencil , pen , and any other tools you feel comfortable drawing with . Some common themes of murals include landscapes , fictional characters , sports and cities . You do n ’ t need to color the image or factor in the mural ’ s size yet . This is a template for your finished mural . You will need it if you plan on transferring the design to the mural using a grid . To come up with a mural theme , ask anyone you ’ re working with , including the building owner . If you ’ re working in your own home , think of what inspires you , what you enjoy drawing , and what you want to look at every day . Measure the wall space you have available for your mural . Climb up your ladder or scaffolding to reach the top part of your mural . Using a tape measure , measure from the ceiling to the bottom edge of the wall . Also , measure across the wall to find out how much wall space you have to work with . If you are unable to measure a big wall , ask the property owner for a blueprint or other documents containing the measurements . You may need to estimate the wall ’ s dimensions . 3 Create a grid over the design you drew on paper . Using a pencil and ruler , make a series of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines . Measure your template paper as needed to figure out its size and space the grid lines evenly . As a general rule of thumb , space the grid lines 1 in ( 2.5 cm ) apart , since grids of this size work for just about any mural . Factor in the size of the wall when making the grid . For larger , more complex murals , divide up the sketch with more frequent grid lines . Each grid box contains a small part of your image that you will transfer to the finished mural later . 4 Draw a grid on the mural wall in chalk . Do a little math in order to transfer the grid properly from your paper to the wall . Multiply the reference drawing ’ s dimensions to blow them up to the size of the wall . The template grid and the wall grid need to be at a 1 to 1 ratio , having an equal number of lines spaced a proportionate distance apart . For example , if the wall is 10 ft × 10 ft ( 3.0 m × 3.0 m ) , break the paper down into a 1 in × 1 in ( 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm ) squares . Every 1 in ( 2.5 cm ) on the paper equals 1 ft ( 30 cm ) of wall space . For instance , your reference image is 5 in × 7 in ( 13 cm × 18 cm ) . Your wall is 10 in × 14 in ( 25 cm × 36 cm ) . If you multiply the dimensions by 2 , making each grid on the wall 2 in × 2 in ( 5.1 cm × 5.1 cm ) , you can easily transfer your design . Transferring and Finalizing Your Design Outline your mural ’ s main features in pencil on the wall . Choose a quality woodworking pencil , then place details like trees , clouds , and characters on the wall . Follow the grid system to transfer your design to the wall . Look at your drawing to find out what cell the detail is in , then transfer it to the corresponding cell on the wall . For example , you might have a cloud in the upper left corner of your sketch . Draw it again the upper left corner of the grid on the wall . Another way to do this is by projecting an image onto the wall . Use a digital projector to transfer images from your computer or another device . Then , sketch your outline over the projected image . If you ’ re working on a colored wall , use a permanent marker or chalk instead of a pencil . Draw fine details onto your sketch with an art pencil . Purchase a relatively dark pencil so your outlines show up on the wall . Choose a pencil based on its lead rating . A 2B pencil is often a great choice to create dark lines that do n ’ t smudge easily . Continue filling in the mural grid according to the template you drew . Use the art pencil for facial features , individual tree branches , and other small details that emphasize your mural ’ s overall design . The complexity of your design influences how much time you spend sketching . If you ’ re doing characters , you ’ re probably better off sketching all of the fine details . If you ’ re confident in your abilities , you can even try sketching or painting details freehand . You could add new components to your work that you did n ’ t include in your initial design . Pick an acrylic paint paint to resist tough outdoor weather . Try a 100 % acrylic product with a high lightfastness rating . That way , your mural wo n ’ t fade or change colors over time . Basic outdoor wall paint with an eggshell finish is a great choice for most projects . Oil - based alkyd enamel or polyurethane enamel paints are also an option . Oil - based paints produce richer , darker colors , but tend to yellow as they age . Choose latex paints for an inexpensive way to cover indoor wall space . Latex paints offer easier cleanup , lower costs , and less odor . Most household latex wall paints resist water and do n ’ t crack easily over time . They also tend to mix well with acrylic paints to give you unique shades for your wall . Choose a paint with an eggshell finish to avoid glare . Latex is an inexpensive option for covering large backgrounds . If you like acrylic paint , consider switching to acrylics for detailed work . Be aware of the ventilation in your home . Open up nearby windows and turn on fans to blow out paint fumes . Wear a dust mask as you work . 5 Mix your paint colors as needed while you paint . Although you need a lot of paint for a mural , do n ’ t go overboard while mixing . To avoid wasted paint , focus on a single color at a time . Mix enough paint for the area you need to cover . That way , you create a consistent color that wo n ’ t dry out before you ’ re able to finish layering it on the mural . Start with the colors for the background , then move on to large shapes and details in your design . If you ’ re using a paint roller , mix paint in a paint roller tray . Bowls and even baking trays are great for mixing paint for brush painting . Use palettes , trays , or paper plates to mix multiple colors on a single surface . 6 Paint over the largest areas in your design with a paint roller or sprayer . Work from the “ back ” of your picture to the front . Lay down the base colors in your design first , taking care to keep clean transition edges from one color to the next . Try to mix as much of a color as you need and apply it in a single go to prevent the paint from drying out before you ’ re done . Rollers and sprayers are best for covering large , wide areas . Use a paintbrush to color small and difficult areas , such as a character ’ s face or clothing . Always allow each color to dry before proceeding to the adjacent color unless you need to blend them together . Blending creates shading and intermediate colors for your design . 7 Wait at least 30 minutes before adding a fresh layer of paint . You probably will need to go over each layer of paint 2 to 3 more times to get it to look perfect . Quality acrylic and latex house paints dry within about an hour . The drying time varies depending on the paint you have , so consult the manufacturer ’ s recommendations if possible . Weather affects the time it takes for paint to dry . Set aside extra time for the paint to dry in cold or humid environments . Some oil paints require as long as 24 hours to cure before you are able to touch them up . 8 Paint in the remaining details with different brush sizes . Get a few different brushes to tackle all of the detail work your design calls for . Any brush you use to paint on paper or canvas will work . Synthetic brushes are usually a good choice if you need something that will last a while . Save the largest brush for coloring open spaces and the smallest brush for the most intricate details . For example , if you ’ re painting a tree , use a large brush , roller , or sprayer for the trunk and limbs . Switch to a smaller brush for tiny branches and twigs . Remember to wait at least 30 minutes for the previous paint layer to dry or else the colors will blend together . 9 Add outlines , shadows , and other details with black paint . Choose an appropriate paintbrush , usually the smallest one . These details are usually fine , so they are tough to add on a large scale without mistakes . If you do make a mistake , wipe up the paint carefully with soap and water or paint over it again when it dries . For example , if you drew characters in your mural , adding outlines distinguishes them from the background colors . Completing and Sealing the Mural Clean up your work by painting over mistakes . Step back and take a look at your work . You will probably notice a few spots where the colors did n ’ t blend well , the paint ran , or some other issue . Most mistakes are pretty simple to fix . Let the mural dry , then go over the damaged spots with another layer of paint . Mix new paint as needed to match the color you need to fix . Mixing an exact match is very difficult . Blend the new paint in with the old as much as possible . Wait about a week for the paint to dry completely . Paint feels dry to the touch within 24 hours or less , but that does n ’ t mean its ready for varnishing . Moisture may still be underneath the top layer . As a rule of thumb , wait at least a week . Some artists like to wait as long as 6 weeks to ensure the paint seals correctly . The amount of time you need to wait varies depending on the paint you use and other factors . Thick coatings of paint take longer to dry out . Cold or damp environments also cause paint to dry more slowly . Oil - based paints can take 6 months to a year to dry completely . If the paint feels dry to the touch after about 1 week , put a layer of varnish on it . Cover it with a final varnish after the paint finishes curing . Seal the mural with a clear varnish to protect it . Choose a clear , water - based , non - yellowing paint varnish . Matte or even satin varnishes work best since glossy varnishes look a little too shiny on murals . Mix the varnish with water to turn in into a paint . Then , use a wide paintbrush to coat the entire mural . Add a second coating after the varnish dries within a day to finish your mural . Using a varnish protects the paint from debris and damage . Always use an acrylic varnish for outdoor murals . Make sure the varnish is removable . If it is , you can scrub it off when you need to touch up the paint underneath it . Community Q&A Search Add New Question Question Can I , and should I , use an oil - based varnish over water - based house paint for an outside mural ? wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer An oil - based varnish can easily be applied over a water - based paint .

Show more answers Ask a Question Already answered Not a question Bad question Other Tips Work slowly when painting a mural . You do need to cover a lot of space , but working too quickly leads to mistakes that take even more time to fix . To clean up paint before it dries , blot it with a moist paper towel . If the towel is too wet , it may drip and leave streaks . Clean up a mural with a paper towel or cloth dampened lightly in water . Avoid using scouring pads or harsh cleaners that can wear away the paint . When sketching a design for a new mural , draw as much detail on the wall as possible . Check the drawing ’ s proportions from a distance before you begin painting . Rollers on long sticks are great if you have limited space , are on stairs , or do n ’ t have access to a ladder . Warnings Use caution when working from high scaffolding or elevated positions . Work on level ground and get rid of distractions to avoid falling . Paint fumes are dangerous , so wear a paint respirator and work in a ventilated area .

How to Pass a Kidney Stone Co - authored by wikiHow Staff | Reader - Approved | 31 References Explore this Article Passing Small Kidney Stones Seeking Medical Treatment for Kidney Stones Preventing Kidney Stones Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles Kidney stones can cause moderate to severe pain but , fortunately , they rarely lead to permanent damage or complications . Although they ’ re uncomfortable , most kidney stones are small enough to pass without medical treatment . Drink plenty of water , manage pain with medication and , if your doctor advises , take medicine to relax the urinary tract . To lower the risk of future kidney stones , limit your salt intake , eat a low - fat diet , and stick to any other dietary changes recommended by your doctor . Method 1 Passing Small Kidney Stones 1 See your doctor if you suspect you have kidney stones . Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the sides , back , groin , or lower abdomen , as well as pain while urinating , cloudy urine , and the inability to urinate . See your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to come up with the proper treatment plan . Doctors diagnose kidney stones using blood and urine tests , ultrasounds , and x - rays . Tests and imaging scans can let them know what kind of stones you have , how large they are , and whether they ' re small enough to pass on their own . 2 Drink at least 6 to 8 c ( 1.4 to 1.9 L ) of water per day . Water flushes your kidneys and can help the stones pass . Check your urine to monitor your fluid intake . If your urine is pale yellow , you ’ re drinking enough water . If it ’ s dark , you ’ re dehydrated . Staying hydrated can help prevent future stones from forming , so drinking plenty of water every day is essential . Water is best , but you can also drink ginger ale and some types of 100 % fruit juice in moderation . Avoid drinking grapefruit juice and cranberry juice , which can increase the risk of kidney stones . Avoid caffeine or limit your consumption , as it can lead to dehydration . Try to drink no more than 1 c ( 240 mL ) of caffeinated coffee , tea , or cola per day . 3 Take pain relievers as needed or as advised by a doctor . While most kidney stones go away without medical treatment , passing them is still a painful process . To manage pain , take an over - the - counter pain reliever , such as ibuprofen or aspirin . Check the label , and use your medication as directed . If over - the - counter pain relievers are n ’ t effective , ask your doctor for a prescription medication . If necessary , they ’ ll give you a prescription - strength pain reliever ( such as ibuprofen ) or , in some cases , prescribe a narcotic pain reliever . Be sure to take any prescription medication according to your doctor ’ s instructions . 4 Ask your doctor if they recommend an alpha - blocker . Alpha - blockers relax muscles in the urinary tract and can make it easier to pass kidney stones . They ’ re available by prescription and , typically , should be taken 30 minutes after a meal at the same time daily . Side effects may include dizziness , lightheadedness , weakness , diarrhea , and fainting . Getting out of bed or standing up slowly can help prevent lightheadedness and fainting . Tell your doctor if any side effects are persistent or severe . 5 Attempt to collect a stone , if your doctor advises . To catch a stone , your doctor may ask you to urinate into a cup , then strain the sample . Collecting a stone is necessary if you ' ve been diagnosed with a urinary blockage , or if the type or cause of your kidney stones is unknown . Long - term management of kidney stones varies depending on the type and cause . In order to come up with an effective treatment plan , your doctor might need to test a collected sample . If necessary , your doctor will provide you with the required equipment and instruct you how to collect and strain a sample . 6 Allow at least a few weeks for kidney stones to pass . It can take anywhere from several days to a few months for small kidney stones to pass . During this time , continue to take any medications according to your doctor ’ s instructions . Stay hydrated , do your best to manage pain , and follow the diet plan suggested by your doctor . Waiting for small kidney stones to pass can be frustrating , but try to be patient . Although they usually pass on their own , sometimes kidney stones require medical intervention . While waiting to pass the stones , check in with your doctor if you experience any worsening symptoms , such as severe pain , the inability to urinate , or blood in your urine . Method 2 Seeking Medical Treatment for Kidney Stones See a doctor promptly if you experience urgent symptoms . Serious symptoms include blood in your urine , fever or chills , changes in skin color , severe pain in your back or side , vomiting , or a burning sensation when you urinate . If you ' re waiting for a smaller stone to pass , call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms . If you have n ’ t seen a doctor or have n ’ t been diagnosed with kidney stones , seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms . Doctors take ultrasounds or x - rays to find kidney stones . If they determine a stone is too large to pass on its own , they ' ll recommend a treatment method based on the stone ' s size and location . Take medication to stop stones from growing and forming . Your doctor might prescribe medications that help break down and remove the substance that ’ s causing the stones . For instance , potassium citrate is used to manage calcium stones , which are the most common . For uric acid stones , the drug allopurinol helps lower levels of uric acid in the body . Side effects vary and may include upset stomach , diarrhea , nausea , and drowsiness . Let your doctor know if any side effects are persistent or severe . 3 Talk to your doctor about treating an underlying cause , if necessary . Digestive disorders , gout , kidney disease , obesity , and some medications can contribute to kidney stones . In order to lower your risk of future stones , consult your doctor about treating an underlying condition , making dietary changes , or switching medications . For struvite stones , which are caused by infections , your doctor will likely prescribe an antibiotic . Take any medication as directed , and do n ’ t stop taking your medicine without consulting your doctor . 4 Break up larger stones with shock wave therapy . Lithotripsy , or shock wave therapy , is used to treat most large kidney stones that are located in the kidneys or upper urinary tract . A machine sends high - pressure sound waves through the body , which break large stones into smaller pieces . These pieces can then be passed when you go to the bathroom . You ’ ll be given medication to help you relax or fall asleep during the procedure . It takes about an hour , and you ’ ll spend about 2 hours in recovery . Most people go home on the same day as the procedure . Rest for 1 to 2 days before resuming your normal activities . Pieces of the stone may take 4 to 8 weeks to pass . During that time , you may have pain in your back or side , experience nausea , or see small amounts of blood in your urine . 5 Undergo a cystoscopy for large stones in the lower urinary tract . The lower urinary tract includes the bladder and urethra , or the tube where urine leaves the body . A special thin device is used to find and remove larger stones in these areas . Your doctor may also recommend a similar procedure called a ureteroscopy to remove stones in the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder . If a stone is too large to be removed , a laser breaks it into pieces small enough to pass when you go to the bathroom . Cystoscopies and ureteroscopies are often performed under general anesthesia , which means you ’ ll be asleep during the procedure . Most people are able to go home the same day as the procedure . For the first 24 hours after the procedure , you might experience a burning sensation when you urinate and see small amounts of blood in your urine . Let your doctor know if these symptoms last more than a day . 6 Ask your doctor about surgery if other methods are n ’ t effective . Kidney stones rarely require surgery , but it might be necessary if other options are unavailable or ineffective . A tube is inserted into the kidney through a small incision in the back . The stones are then either removed or broken up with a laser . Some people spend at least 2 to 3 days in the hospital after a nephrolithotomy , which is the technical name for the surgical procedure . Your doctor will provide instructions about changing the dressing , caring for the incision site , and resting after the procedure . Preventing Kidney Stones Discuss how to prevent specific types of stone with your doctor . Your doctor will recommend dietary changes for the specific type of stones you have . Adjustments such as limiting sodium , eating a low - fat diet , and staying hydrated apply for all types , but certain foods contribute to specific types of kidney stones . For example , if you have uric acid stones , you ’ ll need to avoid herring , sardines , anchovies , organ meats ( such as liver ) , mushrooms , asparagus , and spinach . If you have calcium stones , you ’ ll need to avoid calcium and vitamin D supplements , limit your intake of calcium - rich foods to 2 to 3 daily servings , and avoid antacids that contain calcium . Note that people who have kidney stones once are at an increased risk of having them in the future . Kidney stones recur within 5 to 10 years in about 50 % of people who have them once . Preventative measures , however , may lower your risk of recurrence . Try to consume less than 1500 mg of salt per day . While 2300 mg of sodium is the maximum daily amount recommended for adults , your doctor will probably suggest sticking to 1500 mg per day . Avoid adding extra salt to your food , and try to limit the amount of salt you use to cook . Instead of cooking with salt , flavor your meals with fresh and dried herbs , citrus juice , and zest . Try to cook your own food as much as possible instead of going to restaurants . When you eat out , you ca n ’ t control the amount of salt in your meals . Avoid deli and processed meats , as well as meats that have been pre - marinated . Additionally , steer clear of salty snacks , such as chips . Add lemon to your diet , especially if you have calcium stones . Squeeze a lemon into your water or have a daily glass of low - sugar lemonade . Lemon can help break down calcium stones and might prevent them from forming . Lemon may also help lower the risk of uric acid stones . Try not to drink lemonade or other lemon products that are high in sugar . Eat moderate amounts of lean proteins . You ' ll likely be able to eat animal products in moderation , provided they ’ re low - fat , such as white meat poultry and eggs . To lower the risk of kidney stones of any type , avoid fatty cuts of red meat , and do your best to get as much protein as you can from plant - based sources , such as beans , lentils , and nuts . If you ’ re prone to uric acid stones , try not to eat more than 3 oz ( 85 g ) of meat per meal . To manage uric acid stones , note that your doctor might suggest cutting out animal protein altogether , including eggs and poultry . Include calcium - rich foods in your diet , but skip the supplements . Some people with calcium stones think they should avoid calcium altogether . You still need to consume calcium to keep your bones healthy , so go for 2 to 3 daily servings of milk , cheese , or yogurt . Do n ’ t take calcium , vitamin D , or vitamin C supplements , and steer clear of antacids that contain calcium . Exercise regularly , but drink extra water to stay hydrated . Try to get about 30 minutes of exercise per day . Regular physical activity is important for your overall health . Brisk walks and bike rides are great forms of exercise , especially if you ’ re not used to being active . While exercise is important , pay attention to how much you sweat . The more you sweat , the more water you ’ ll need to drink . To avoid dehydration , aim to drink about 1 c ( 240 mL ) of water every 20 minutes during intense exercise , hot weather , or whenever you ’ re sweating a lot . Community Q&A Question I have a 1.4cm stone that is not passing yet . Have been drinking tons of water . Can this pass normally and how much longer do you t think I have to wait . Lots of pain wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer If you ' re having trouble passing it , and it ' s been more than a few weeks , give your doctor a call . Ask them if they can offer a prescription - strength pain medication , or if they recommend a procedure to break down the stone .

How to Pay Child Support with No Income Coauthored by wikiHow Staff 12 References In this Article Requesting LowIncome Payments Deferring Your Payments Seeking Employment Community QA 12 References As a noncustodial parent you are required to pay child support to the other parent to ensure your child is well taken care of Paying child support can be a challenge if you have no income at the time of the legal agreement but you do have options Request a lowincome payment with the help of your lawyer to make the payments more affordable for you You can also defer your payments until you can afford to pay them Even if you defer you should try to find employment as soon as possible so you can avoid high interest charges on your child support payments Method 1 Requesting LowIncome Payments 1 Meet with your lawyer to discuss your options Before you panic about paying child support speak to your lawyer for guidance They can look over your finances and lay out your options If you are not working by choice you will likely be forced to pay child support by the court If you are unable to work due to a disability or injury you may qualify for lowincome payments If you have student loan debt or other outstanding debt you may be able to use this information in court to ask for lowincome payments Do not try to negotiate an agreement with the other parent without your lawyer present or without telling the court as this can cause legal issues later 2 Bring supporting documents to court to argue your case Have copies of financial documents like your pay stubs your tax filings your bank statements and a credit report on hand You should also bring medical documents like prescription slips medical bills and medical rulings from your doctor Show these documents in court to show the judge that your income is considered below the poverty line in your state The required payment amount for lowincome payers will be a low percentage of your total income You will need to pay a specific amount based on how many children you are parent to as the amount will go up with each additional child For example if your income is 873 USD a month you may pay around 83 USD for child support for 1 child 123 USD for 2 children 142 USD for 3 children etc 3 Negotiate a minimum child support payment until you find employment If you make 11000 USD or less a year you can ask to pay a lowincome minimum of 2550 USD a month per child in child support You may then need to cover any medical expenses or child care expenses that come up as well The minimum payment will go up once you find employment and start to make income You may or may not be granted a lowincome minimum payment based on the ruling of the court and your individual financial circumstances Keep in mind you will be charged interest on any child support payments you fail to pay even if you are on a lowincome payment plan Method 2 Deferring Your Payments 1 Show up to your court date to try to defer your payments Even if you can not afford child support payments make sure you still show up to your court date to plead your case Not showing up to court will not stop the court proceedings and can result in you being charged a higher amount in child support Go to court with your lawyer so you can outline to the judge why you need to defer your payments In most cases being a no show for a court date results in an automatic default order by the judge which means you will be required to pay the amount the court decides based on your imputed income Your imputed income is calculated based on any income you have earned in the past rather than what you are actually earning now 2 Provide detailed information about your lack of income Bring financial documents like your bank statements for the past 13 years a credit report and copies of your tax filings to show the court that you currently have no income You will need to illustrate that you have had no income for the past year and you have maintained no income or low income for several years in a row Keep in mind that if you have chosen not to work and you used to make high income in the past the court may use your previous income to illustrate you do not need to defer your payments 3 Request a deferment for your child support payments Formally request a deferment through your lawyer using your financial documents as support The court will then decide if you are able to defer and how long you can defer your payments for In most cases a deferment will last for several months or until you find employment and have income The court may follow up with you regularly to check that you are actively searching for employment during the deferment Keep in mind you may not get a deferment or may still have to pay a minimum amount of child support while you look for employment 4 Find out how much interest will accrue on your unpaid child support If you defer your child support payments you will still be charged interest on each month you do not pay The interest charges are meant to encourage you to start paying for child support sooner than later You may be able to negotiate your interest payment amount with the help of your lawyer in court 5 Keep communication open with your lawyer and the other parent Shutting the other parent out especially if you are deferring your payments can then cause them to sue you for child support This will lead to even more financial stress and cost you more in the long run Try to meet with the other parent and your lawyer once a month or several times a year to discuss child support payments so you are all transparent and open with one another If you and the other parent come to an agreement about child support payments you will still need to run it through your lawyer and the court to ensure you are legally protected Method 3 Seeking Employment 1 Search for community organizations that can help you find employment Depending on where you live there may be organizations that can help you find a job in your area Ask your lawyer or your social worker about community outreach programs for the unemployed or job fairs in your area that focus on supporting lowincome individuals You can also search for these organizations on your own by reaching out to community leaders for guidance or by searching online for open positions in your area 2 Look for jobs that may be different than your chosen profession Keep an open mind as you search for jobs as you may end up going for positions that are different than your ideal job or your former role Broadening your job search to positions that you may not have initially thought were a fit for you may in fact increase your chances of landing a position You may also take a job as a temporary solution so you can start paying child support and avoid interest payments 3 Apply for several parttime jobs to increase your chances of employment Taking on several parttime jobs rather than one fulltime position can help you get back on your feet and start earning income Having multiple jobs can also help you gain the confidence and skills needed to apply for other positions in the future Having multiple jobs can also show the other parent you are trying to make ends meet and pay your child support payments 4 Create a strong resume and cover letter for potential positions Make sure you include all relevant skills training and education on your resume to attract employers Include a cover letter if requested by the employer that outlines your professional experience and what you can contribute to the company or organization You may ask a family member friend or mentor to review your resume and cover letter to ensure it is as strong as it can be before you send it off to employers 5 Revisit your child support payments once you have income Once you get a job and start to earn income you should revisit your child support payments with your lawyer and the other parent Start paying child support based on your income to avoid high interest charges and to ensure your children are provided for Make sure you go through your lawyer to negotiate or reassess your child support payments so everything is legal and recorded This can be useful in the event you have a disagreement or issue with the other parent about your child support payments

How to Pay Off Student Loans Author Info Explore this Article Understanding Your Debt Exploring Your Repayment Options Paying Off Your Debt as Quickly as Possible Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References If you have finished school with student loans , you need to pay them off . With the rising cost of education , you may owe a formidable amount of money . It is crucial to develop a plan for repaying your debt as efficiently as possible so that it does not haunt you for decades . Part 1 Understanding Your Debt 1 Complete your school ’ s exit counseling procedures . If you have federal student loans , you are legally required to complete exit counseling when you graduate , leave school , or fall below half - time enrollment . Different schools may handle exit counseling differently , but whether you have to handle it in person , by mail , or online , it ’ s an important step in understanding your debt . During exit counseling , you should receive information about : your legal rights and responsibilities as a borrower various available repayment plans procedures for making payments conditions that must be met for deferment , forbearance , and forgiveness resources available if you have questions or concerns regarding your debt 2 Understand that you must repay your student loans regardless of whether you completed your program successfully . Some borrowers believe – erroneously – that they do not have to repay their student loans if they do not graduate . Unfortunately , that ’ s not the case , and you ’ ll need to repay your debt whether you completed your degree or not . 3 Determine how much you owe . Depending on how long you ’ ve been in school , how many loans you ’ ve gotten , and whether your debt is federal , private , or both , you may not have a clear picture of how much student loan debt you ’ ve accumulated . That ’ s completely understandable , but you ca n ’ t address the issue effectively without figuring out what , exactly , you owe – and to whom . You may be receiving notices , either by email or by snail mail , from your lenders or your school ’ s financial aid office . If that ’ s the case , keep careful records of these notices , noting what kinds of loans you have ( Stafford , Perkins , PLUS , etc . ) and who is servicing those loans . Whether you ’ re receiving notices or not , it ’ s a good idea to do some research on your own to ensure that you ’ re fully aware of every loan . Start by visiting the National Student Loan Data System at https : / / www . nslds . ed . gov / nslds / nslds_SA / . This website will have information about all your federal loans , even if they were taken out at different times and are being serviced by different companies . If you ’ ve borrowed through the federal government only , then you do n ’ t need to look anywhere else . If you have private loans , you ’ ll have to check your records and follow up with those lenders as necessary . 4 Know which company is servicing your loans . If this information was not made clear to you during exit counseling , visit the National Student Loan Data System or inquire with your financial aid office . In some circumstances , you may have multiple servicers for different loans . For example , you may find that your Stafford Loans are serviced through one company , but your Perkins loans are serviced through another . 5 Find out when you must start making payments . For most forms of federal student aid , you will need to start making monthly payments six months after your graduation date ( or after you stop attending ) . Private lenders may set other deadlines for payments to begin – in fact , they may even require payments while you are still in school . For any subsidized federal loans , the government will continue to cover the accumulating interest during this six - month grace period , as it did when you were in school . If you have unsubsidized loans , though , interest will accrue during this time . Be aware that if you do not make payments , you will owe more six months after graduation than you did on graduation day . 6 Be aware that failing to make payments will impact your credit . Although federal student aid is awarded regardless of your credit score , understand that if you do not pay , your credit will absolutely suffer – whether your loans are federal , private , or both . If you do not make your payments and wind up with bad credit , you will have a much harder time qualifying for other kinds of loans ( including mortgages and car loans ) later on . Bad credit may also make it more difficult to rent an apartment or sign up for certain utilities . You may even have difficulty getting a cell phone plan . Part 2 Exploring Your Repayment Options Understand that smaller monthly payments will mean that you pay more over time . Many borrowers look , understandably , for the repayment plan with the lowest monthly payments . Know that if you take this route , you ’ ll be paying significantly more in the long run . For example , say you have $ 26,946 in federal student loan debt – the average for borrowers who attended a four - year public university : If you pay a standard monthly payment of $ 272 a month , you will ultimately pay $ 32,585 on your loans . If you pay on a graduated plan , starting with $ 152 a month and increasing to $ 455 a month over time , you ’ ll ultimately pay $ 33,979 on your loans . If you pay on a lower “ pay as you earn plan , ” starting with $ 104 a month and increasing to $ 272 a month , you will ultimately pay $ 39,509 on your loans . Start with the standard repayment plan if you can afford it . Because making smaller payments will increase your overall cost , you should make the standard , recommended payments if possible . Under this plan , you will pay off your student loans completely in ten years . In general , unless you request otherwise , your student loan servicer will start you off with the standard repayment plan . 3 Consider the graduated payment plan if you think your salary will increase steadily over time . If you are employed in a steady but somewhat low - paying job , but you can reasonably anticipate periodic promotions and raises , the graduated payment plan might work better for you . You ’ ll start off with a lower monthly payment , which will go up over time . In general , the graduated payment plan will also enable you to pay your loans off in ten years . Check with your loan servicer to see what you individual numbers will look like . 4 Look into the extended repayment plan if you need the smallest monthly payments available . If your budget is restricted and you do n ’ t anticipate a significant increase in your income , the extended repayment plan may be your best option . Under this plan , you pay off your student loans over the course of twenty - five years . Remember that there ’ s a significant overall cost associated with these lower monthly payments . You will have this debt for much longer , and you ’ ll pay much more overall . 5 Research your income - based repayment options . Depending on your individual circumstances , you may be eligible for an income - based repayment plan . You must apply for this plan by submitting proof of a low income and showing that other repayment plans would constitute a financial hardship . Individual eligibility varies , so talk to your loan servicer for details . These plans include : Income - Based Repayment ( IBR ) . Under this plan , you ’ ll make payments for twenty - five years , and after that , any remaining debt will be forgiven . Your payments will not exceed 15 % of your discretionary income . Pay - As - You - Earn Repayment . This is a newer program , which is only available to people who had no student loans prior to October 1 , 2007 , and received student loans after October 1 , 2011 . If you qualify , it ' s a better deal than IBR . Under this plan , you ’ ll make payments for twenty years , and after that , any remaining debt will be forgiven . As with IBR , your payments will not exceed 15 % of your discretionary income . Income - Contingent Repayment ( ICR ) . Under this plan , you ’ ll make payments for twenty - five years , and after that , any remaining debt will be forgiven . Your payments will not exceed 20 % of your discretionary income . 6 Know that you may qualify for forbearance if you have a temporary need to stop making your payments . Forbearance allows qualifying borrows to hit the “ pause ” button on their payments . Be aware that your interest will continue to accumulate during this time . Consider applying for a forbearance if : you have a sudden financial hardship . you develop a serious medical problem that affects your income or your budget . you start a medical or dental internship or residency program and can not make your payments . you accept a position with AmeriCorps . you begin active duty in the U.S. military . 7 Weigh the pros and cons of deferring your payments . You may qualify for a deferment ( a period during which you do not have to make payments ) for a variety of reasons , but remember that deferments do have costs . In most cases , your loans will continue to accumulate interest , and you ’ ll pay more over time . Deferments are available for borrowers who : attend graduate or professional school . are unemployed . are experiencing severe economic hardship . are serving in the military . 8 Understand that private loans will likely offer fewer options . One of the reasons that federal financial aid is so much more attractive than private student lending is that the government offers all of these possible repayment plans . If you have private debt , you will have to negotiate directly with your lenders , and they may be much less inclined to grant you lower payments or a deferment . 9 Avoid default if at all possible . For federal loans , at least , the variety of payment , forbearance , and deferment options should allow you to avoid defaulting ( failing to pay ) . Do n ’ t ignore your debt . A default will have significant , long - term implications for your credit , and you wo n ’ t be able to get any additional financial aid , either . If you do wind up in default , it ’ s not too late to repair the damage . Talk to your loan servicer , as individual circumstances may vary . In You can get out of default by consolidating your loans with the federal government and making three consecutive monthly payments . Consolidation combines all your loans and revises your payment plan to make your monthly payments as affordable as possible . Of course , this does mean paying more interest in the long run . Alternatively , you can simply start making your payments again . Once you have made nine consecutive monthly payments , you will get out of default . This process is called rehabilitation . Paying Off Your Debt as Quickly as Possible Make additional principal payments if possible . Think of your designated monthly payment as the bare minimum . If you can afford it , you can pay extra without penalty . Doing so will mean that you pay your loan off faster and pay less interest over time . For the best results , ask your loan servicer to apply any additional amount to your principal ( rather than to future payments ) . This will ensure that your money makes more of a dent in your loan balance . Budget carefully . Track all of your income and spending for a few months , and then identify expenses that can be cut . You can then funnel this money into student loan payments , including extra principal payments . Depending on your individual circumstances , this might mean : renting a cheaper apartment or living with a roommate eating out less frequently doing without a car and walking , biking , or taking public transportation instead cutting entertainment expenses like movie and concert tickets avoiding small extra expenditures at coffee shops and bars Try to increase your income . It may sound obvious , but excelling at your job , earning promotions , and working overtime when possible will improve your overall financial picture and allow you to pay off your student loans faster . When you do find yourself earning more , resist the urge to spend that extra money . If you continue to live as if you were receiving a lower paycheck and funnel the extra cash into extra student loan payments , you could save thousands and thousands of dollars and get rid of your debt much more efficiently . Look into forgiveness options . Depending on your profession and your other circumstances , you may be able to get some of your debt forgiven . Talk to your loan servicer for specific details on the various forgiveness plans and a complete list of restrictions and eligibility criteria . In general , though , you may qualify for at least partial forgiveness if : you teach for five consecutive years in a high need area you join AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps you join the Army Reserve or the National Guard after graduation you are accepted into Teach for America you work full - time as a provider of early intervention services for the disabled you work full - time providing services to families in low - income communities Find out if your employer will help you repay your student loans . Some employers do offer assistance with student loan repayments . Check into this option to be sure you are n ’ t missing out on this benefit . Avoid taking on additional debt until you pay down your student loans . If at all possible , avoid getting a car loan , a mortgage , or any other type of loan until you have made significant progress on your student loan debt . Though it might feel like a burden to postpone buying a new car or become a homeowner , this approach will absolutely pay off in the long run . Community Q&A Add New Question Question Can I pay off entire loan right after graduation ? Donagan Top Answerer Yes , but check the terms of the loan to see if there is a penalty for early payoff . If there is , that may be a factor in your decision to repay early . Yes No Not Helpful 0 Helpful 0 Ask a Question Already answered Not a question Bad question Other Can you answer these readers ' questions ? Tips Look for ways to supplement your income .

Learn to save money so you can repay your debts . You can make paying off student loans easier if you take steps to minimize your student loans while in school . The easiest way to pay off debt is to avoid it . Warnings Avoid scams . If something sounds too good to be true , it probably is false . No one will pay off loans for you , unless they can benefit by so doing . Whenever possible , avoid consolidating federal loans into a private consolidation loan , as you would lose your rights under the federal loan programs , including deferment , forbearance , cancellation , and affordable repayment options , once you consolidate with a private lender . Federally insured student loans can not be included in bankruptcy . You will still owe for these loans , even if you file . Avoid the temptation of payday advance loans at all costs . It is a quick fix that will cause you to get into a snowballing problem of debt . Before you even think about taking out a payday loan , consider other resources : family and friends , home equity , and Debtors Anonymous . Avoid credit cards , unless you can be sure to pay off the full amount on time every month . Credit cards can get you into much heavier debt .

How to Play Hopscotch Author Info Explore this Article Playing Classic Hopscotch Adding Variations Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Thousands of years ago , Roman soldiers played hopscotch to test their strength and speed , sometimes hopping over 100 feet ( 30.5 m ) carrying heavy weights ! Today , hopscotch is a backyard game enjoyed by children ( and lighthearted grown - ups ) all over the world . Whether you never learned this game as a child , or simply need a brushing - up , you can easily learn to play this classic game , along with some variations to make it more challenging . Method 1 Playing Classic Hopscotch 1 Draw a hopscotch design on the ground . Chalk is the best drawing medium on asphalt , patio stones or concrete . The squares should be large enough to fit one foot and to make sure that a stone thrown into the square will not bounce out too easily . While there are variants on drawing the design , a common schoolyard design is shown here . It is common to designate the " 10 " section shown here as a rest or stop area . This is where the player can take a moment to turn around and / or regain their balance . Sometimes a more creative name , like " Heaven " is given to the space . 2 Throw a flat stone or similar object ( small beanbag , shell , button , plastic toy ) to land on square one . It has to land inside the square without touching the border or bouncing out . If you do n ' t get it within the lines , you lose your turn and pass the stone to the next person . If you do get it , however , go on to the next step . Hopscotch can be played with just one person . If that ' s your case , make up the rules as you see fit ! 3 Hop through the squares , skipping the one you have your marker on . Each square gets one foot . Which foot you start with is up to you . You ca n ' t have more than one foot on the ground at a time , unless there are two number squares right next to each other . In that case , you can put down both feet simultaneously ( one in each square ) . Always keep your feet inside the appropriate square ( s ) ; if you step on a line , hop on the wrong square , or step out of the square , you lose your turn . 4 Pick up the marker on your way back . When you get to the last number , turn around ( remaining on one foot ) and hop your way back in reverse order . While you ' re on the square right before the one with your marker , lean down ( probably on one foot still ! ) and pick it up . Then , skip over that square and finish up . 5 Pass the marker on to the next person . If you completed the course with your marker on square one ( and without losing your turn ) , then throw your marker onto square two on your next turn . Your goal is to complete the course with the marker on each square . The first person to do this wins the game ! Ashrita Furman holds the Guinness World Record for completing the fastest game of hopscotch , coming in at 68 seconds . In case you were curious . Method 2 Adding Variations Change the shape of the hopscotch course . Make it circular , with the numbers going in a spiral direction . Maybe that ' s why the French call it " escargot ? " Or make it a rectangle , triangle , or firework ! It ' s easiest to start from the middle and go outward . That way you can make it as big as you need - - instead of ending up with your last square being microscopic ! Vary the size and shape of the squares . Make some of them smaller so that people have to step on their tip toes . You can even make some in the shape of a shoe to control the direction in which the person faces . Get creative ! 3 Make some squares into islands . That way , a person needs to jump over a distance to get to it . Just make sure the spaces are jump - able ! And who said hopscotch did n ' t require skill ? 4 Set a time limit . Make into a game of " speed hopscotch . " The person has a certain amount of time to complete the course , or else they lose their turn . Or you could turn it into a race ! Community Q&A Question How many markers are on the hopscotch squares ? Community Answer Typically one , but variations do exist . Not Helpful 7 Helpful 31 Question What items are needed to play hopscotch ? Community Answer Chalk and a rock . Not Helpful 10 Helpful 33 Can I put both feet down in square 10 ? Yes , you can . Sixty or 65 years ago , children would draw the outline for 8 to resemble a semi - circle and split 9 and 10 with a middle line above the semi - circle . They then hopped on one foot in 8 , then both left and right in 9 and 10 consecutively . They then did a reverse jump landing one foot in each box without touching the lines to head back down the hopscotch . 11 30 How many players are needed ? The Siren 341 As many as you want . 15 What do I do when I put my stone on one number in a space of two ( like 1 and 2 ) ? If your stone , or marker , is in number 1 , you need to hop on one foot to square 2 , and then hop to number 3 , etc . If there are markers in both 1 and 2 , you need to hop over both to square 3 and finish from there . 12 25 How can there be more than one stone on the play mat ? When I played as a child we had 2 - 4 players and we left all of their markers on the mat where they missed and it became the next person ' s turn . We skipped each of the marked spots to complete our turn . 17 30 What do I do when the marker lands on square 10 ? Just act like it is like any other square and jump to the the end . 6 14 What is the aim of the game ? The aim is to be the first whose marker reaches the end goal . This can be the Den ( number 10 / the resting stop ) or it can include the return journey back to number one . The other aim is of course to practice balance and agility . Toddlers benefit especially by this game , although it is enjoyed by all ages . 7 14 Can each player have a marker ? Each player could have his / her unique marker without violating any of the above rules . 8 13 What age group is best for this game ? I would say around ages 5 to 12 . This game is used a lot in elementary schools , which have grades kindergarten to 5th . 6 Show more answers Ask a Question Video Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . 0 : 00 2 : 40 Tips You can use masking tape to make a hopscotch layout if preferred . It will lift up easily and is good for indoor games . The final square can be designated a " rest area " if you would like to have a break from hopping . Warnings Be wary of your surroundings . It ' s best you play on concrete rather than gravel or an uneven surface . You might get injured ! References ↑ Hopscotch By Elizabeth Dana Jaffe , Sherry L . Field , Linda D . Labbo .

How to Play Kenken Coauthored by wikiHow Staff In this Article Understanding the Rules Solving Kenken Successfully Using Advanced Strategies Community QA 8 References KenKen is a Japanese paper puzzle by Tetsuya Miyamoto that resembles Sudoku Ken Ken roughly translates to clevernesscleverness and solving one requires a mix of math skills and general logic The rules take some getting used to but once you have the basics down you can tackle Ken Kens of any size Method 1 Understanding the Rules 1 Fill in each horizontal row with the numbers 14 without repeating any of them This is where Kenken gets its similarity to Sudoku If you have a four square by four square grid every single horizontal row must have a 1 2 3 and a 4 in it The numbers of course can be in any order This is true for each row If your grid is a six by six you would have the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 without any repeating If it is a 9x9 then 19 etc 2 Fill each vertical column with every number without repeating A completed Kenken needs to have every single number in every single row and column only once Note however that this doesnt just mean you fill in every single box with your numbers and win each puzzle still requires a specific order as dictated by cages 3 Find and note the cages thick irregular boxes within the Kenken to get clues to a solution Inside of the Kenken there are big thick lines marking of several boxes at once with a mathematical equation ex 3 1 2 These are called cages and they provide the puzzle and the solution Make a note of them making sure you understand what boxes they cover Cages can be straight composed of either a single block or many at once or Lshaped Just follow the big thick lines Before beginning make sure you can tell the edges of the each cage to prevent mistakes Every box will be in a cage of some sort 4 Know that the number and syllable at the top of each cage must be the goal or answer of the written numbers put inside If you have four numbers in a cage labeled 8 then the four numbers in that cage must add up to eight like 1 2 2 3 note that this would be an Lshaped cage otherwise youd have two 2s in the same line So a cage with two boxes labeled 3 would have to have two numbers that when subtracted equal 3 like 4 and 1 Every cage will have a goal and this is how you solve Ken Ken Kenken only contains addition subtraction multiplication and division Cages with only one box and no mathematical symbol 4 mean you just place the number in the box on its own If the box just says 4 just put a 4 in the box 5 Know that subtraction and division boxes can be in any order If you have a box that asks for 2 you can answer it with either 4 2 or 2 4 You just need the two correct numbers in the equation the order doesnt matter 6 Know that the same rules apply no matter how big the puzzle gets These rules all still apply no matter if youre playing a 4x4 or a 9x9 While the difficulty of the puzzle increases depending on the size the actual rules and strategy for solving it do not If youre a beginner start with 4x4 boards to get used to the system and strategy Some papers even offer 3x3 grids for beginners too Method 2 Solving Kenken Successfully 1 Always check all three sets of clues before putting in a number Remember you have to pay attention to three separate rules when inputting numbers but this is to your advantage Very few numbers satisfy all three conditions and this is where your solution comes from Only one of each number in each horizontal row Only one of each number in each vertical column The answer of each cage matches the number and mathematical symbol in the upper left corner 2 Fill in blank single boxes first Take all of the basic boxes without mathematical symbols first like 2 or 9 and simply fill in the number If the box just says two put in a two This will take care of the basics and start to reveal other answers 3 Find and mark the boxes that only have one potential answer This will depend on the size of the board but youll still find them easily with some practice For example imagine a 4x4 puzzle Take a two box cage for 3 Knowing that you only have 1 2 3 and 4 to choose from you know that there is only one pair that subtracts to three 4 and 1 While you might not know the order you do know these are the only two numbers in this row Make a note of them for later Every Kenken has some of these easy boxes to get you started such as Multiplicationdivision by grid size and odd numbers usually only has a few answers Examples include 4x in a 4x4 grid 1 4 15x in a 6x6 grid 3 5 etc Twobox addition cages usually for 3 or 4 can only use 1 2 and 3 4 Write smaller numbers in the upper right corner to take notes crossing them off as they are eliminated There are a lot of places where two numbers will equally plausible as you dont know enough about the rest of the board to figure out which number is correct Write small notes in the upper right corner of the box allowing you to see which numbers could be in each place and which numbers have to be there For example In the previous step you noted that you need a 4 and a 1 to make 3 but you didnt know what order But if the same row as the top box already contains a 4 then suddenly its all clear The 1 goes on top and the 4 goes below making your 3 5 Use groupings of potential numbers to fill in the areas youre unsure of For example imagine a vertical row that already contains a 4 and a blank in the top boxes The bottom two boxes are a cage for 3 which can only be created with a 1 and a 2 This means the second box must be a 3 even though you dont know what order the 1 and 2 are The finished cage would look like this 4 3 1 or 2 1 or 2 Method 3 Using Advanced Strategies 1 Keep track of which numbers you can not use in bigger Kenken puzzles If youve got a three box 15 cage in a 6x6 grid you cant use a 1 or 2 Ever You simply couldnt add any other two numbers up with 1 or 2 to get top 15 If the cage isnt Lshaped you cant even use a 3 since only 663 15 and you cant use two sixes in a row This may seem like useless information but it means that the row or column must have its 1 2 or 3 further down By knowing you cant use them in the cage you also tell yourself that they must be used further down the line 2 Understand the total sum of each row and use the current numbers in it to tackle tricky areas Best shown in an example imagine a row 6box row Since it must contain the numbers 16 each row will always add up to 21 1 2 3 4 5 6 21 Now imagine a 4 box 12 cage in that row You might not know which four numbers add up to 12 but you do know that the other two boxes must add up to 9 since the whole row must equal 21 and you know that part of it adds up to 12 This means your top box can suddenly contain only 2 pairs 3 6 or 4 5 4 x 4 puzzle rows must add up to 10 6 x 6 puzzle rows must add up to 21 9 x 9 puzzle rows must add up to 45 Talented puzzlers can do the same thing with multiplication too For example each row of a 6x6 must multiply to 720 If you have a big product in one row find out what you have left to eliminate numbers 3 Expand the row by row sums above to account for 23 rows at once The strategy above is great for single row problems but any nonlinear cages and youll be lost However remember that each row of a 6x6 equals 21 meaning that any two rows must equal 42 Similarly if the product of one row is 720 then the product of two rows must be 720 2 If youve got some cages with big sums or products 20 45x you can subtract or divide these out to make the rest of the rows easier to solve 4 Notice Xwing pairs to eliminate potential locations for numbers For difficult Kenkens erasing possibilities is just as important as finding the right numbers The Xwing is when you have the same possible number say a 2 in two sidebyside boxes in two different places see example below You might not know which one goes where but know that two of those four boxes contain a 2 If a two is in the left box on one row then it must be on the right box of the other row because you can only have one 2 in each row However Xwinging is when you can eliminate all 2s from must be in the top or bottom meaning it can not be in the middle rows You can therefore eliminate any twos in between 2 or 4 2 or 3 X X X X 2 or 3 2 or 1 Community QA Question What does a symbol mean wikiHow Contributor

Method 1 Using a Direct Audio - In Connection 1 Locate your computer ’ s audio - in port . It is possible to connect your guitar directly to your laptop through the device ’ s audio - in port . This port is typically located on the side of laptops , near the headphone - out port . You may see one of the following icons next to it : a microphone or a circle with two triangles . 2 Purchase the correct cable or adapter . While the average guitar cable has a ¼ ” phone jack on each end , the audio - in port requires a ⅛ ” stereo plug . You may purchase a guitar cable with a ¼ ” phone jack on one end and a ⅛ ” stereo plug on the other end OR you may purchase an ⅛ ” stereo plug adapter to use with your standard guitar cable . Your laptop ’ s audio - in port may require a stereo plug with a TS ( Tip / Sleeve ) connection or a TRS ( Tip / Ring / Sleeve ) connection . If you are unsure which tip your computer requires , consult your laptop ’ s manual . If your laptop does not have an audio - in port , you will need to purchase an interface or a special cable that plugs into your audio - out port , also known as a headphone jack . These products allow you to use your audio - out port as an audio - in port . These products are sold at a variety of price points and vary in quality . You may also use these devices with your phone and tablet . If your laptop does not have a headphone jack , you can purchase an adaptor that plugs into your USB port . 3 Plug your guitar into your computer . Insert the ¼ ” phone jack into your guitar .

Plug the other end of the guitar cable into the input port of your pre - amp . Insert a ⅛ ” stereo in cable into your pre - amp ’ s PA Out or Line - Out port . Put the opposite end of this cable into your laptop ’ s audio - in port . If your laptop does not have an audio - in port , you will need to purchase an interface or a special cable that transforms your audio - out port , also known as a headphone jack , into an audio - in port . These products also work with phones and tablets . There are also adapters that plug into USB ports . 3 Test the signal . If your guitar is connected properly to your laptop , you can hear the instrument through your computer ’ s speakers , a set of external speakers , or a pair of headphones . If you are not using your ’ computer ’ s speakers , insert the external speaker cable or headphones into your laptop ’ s audio - out port . Strum your guitar to test the signal . While the pre - amp will improve the strength of the signal , it may not decrease any delay you are experiencing . Delay , or audio latency , is the gap that exists between when a sound is inputted into the computer and when that sound is actually heard . In order to hear your guitar , you may need to download and / or open recording software first . If you are experiencing sound problems , open your computer ’ s sound settings . Check to see if your sound is muted and that the correct port or device is selected ( audio - in , audio - out , headphone , microphone , etc . ) .

Plug the opposite end of the guitar cable into the pre - amp ’ s input port . Insert a USB , Firewire , or Optical cable into your pre - amp ’ s USB or Firewire out port . Plug the other end of this cable into your laptop ’ s USB or Firewire in port . When your guitar is properly connected , you will be able to assess the strength and quality of your guitar ’ s signal . Listen to the instrument through your computer ’ s speakers , a set of external speakers , or a pair of headphones . If you ’ re using external speakers or headphones , insert their respective cables into your laptop ’ s audio - out port . Play a few chords on your guitar to test the signal . This method will produce the crispest and clearest recordings . You may need to download and / or open recording software in order to hear your instrument . If your guitar ’ s sound is not coming through , make sure the instrument ’ s volume is turned all the way up .

How to Prevent Guitar Corrosion Coauthored by wikiHow Staff 10 References In this Article Protecting Your Strings Avoiding Corrosion around the Hardware Storing Your Guitar Community QA 10 References Wellbuilt guitars last for decades but the various metal parts are prone to corrosion if you dont take proper care of your guitar Consistent cleaning and care are essential to keeping an instrument for the long haul Learning how to prevent wear and corrosion to the guitars sensitive metal parts is crucial The strings tuning pegs pickups and knobs are the main parts to clean consistently Method 1 Protecting Your Strings 1 Wash your hands before you play Use hot water and soap to remove the dirt skin oil and other substances that naturally accumulate on your hands If you consistently play your guitar with clean hands youll reduce corrosion of the strings Get in the habit of playing with clean hands whenever possible In a pinch wipe your hands off with a clean cloth This removes at least some of the dirtiness from your skin 2 Wipe the strings with a clean lintfree cloth after you play Even with clean hands youll leave some residue on the strings each time you play Grab a clean cloth and gently wipe the strings down Get in between them and under them as much as possible for the best results Again a clean soft cloth is best but use whats available to you Using a paper towel or a clean part of your shirt is better than not wiping them at all 3 Use rubbing alcohol on a cloth to wipe the strings on occasion A dry cloth is enough to clean the strings each time you play but they should be cleaned more thoroughly once a week or so Use a clean soft cloth and basic rubbing alcohol to remove the residue that builds up over time Adjust how frequently you do this based on how often you play If you play for a few hours every day it might be good to wipe them with alcohol more often Be careful not to get rubbing alcohol on the wood of the guitar as this will dry it out and can ruin it It helps to slide a dry cloth under the strings as you wipe them down 4 Choose corrosionresistant strings when you change them out If your strings are already old buy new ones that are designed to prevent corrosion Get strings for your acoustic guitar that are made with a phosphor bronze core Choose stainless steel strings for an electric guitar These string types are not guaranteed to never corrode but they are made to hold up better to the corrosive effects of playing Method 2 Avoiding Corrosion around the Hardware 1 Turn the knobs on an electric guitar regularly The knobs of your guitar have metal parts which are prone to corrosion If they stay in one position theyre more likely to corrode Turn them every week or so especially if its a guitar that you dont play very often If you play the guitar a lot and adjust the knobs each time you dont need to turn them extra times besides when you are playing 2 Use a cotton swab to clean around the pickups on an electric guitar Pickups are magnets embedded in the guitar The edges where the pickups meet the wood store dust and grime if you dont clean them Gently wipe around them with a cotton swab at least once a week to remove buildup Dont use any type of cleaning solution because this may cause worse corrosion than doing nothing 3 Oil the tuning pegs on occasion Tuning pegs or tuning machines on a guitar are usually made from steel and they corrode if they arent kept lubricated Look online or at a guitar store for oil thats specifically for tuning pegs Dont use a basic lubricant like WD40 because its too harsh You only need to oil your tuning pegs every 36 months Get a bottle of peg oil with a small nozzle on the cap which allows the oil to come out in drops Tip the oil bottle slowly over each tuning peg to dispense a few drops Turn the knob a half turn in each direction to spread the oil 4 Polish your frets with steel wool When your strings are removed from the guitar place a piece of masking tape on either side of all of the frets Take a piece of steel wool and gently buff each fret along the fingerboard Use a magnet to pick up the tiny metal particles that are buffed off Only buff each fret for few seconds If you buff frets too much youll change the shape of them Buff frets at most two times a year Method 3 Storing Your Guitar 1 Keep your guitar in its case when you arent using it Avoid leaving your guitar sitting in the open air Dust and various pollutants in the air will corrode the metal parts faster Keeping it in the clean dry case reduces exposure to the elements Make sure your guitar case does not get wet or is dried out immediately if does get wet 2 Monitor the humidity where the guitar is stored Ideally a guitar should be stored at a relative humidity between 45 and 55 percent High moisture levels corrode hardware faster Use a dehumidifier if you know the place your guitar is stored is humid Get an incase dehumidifier if you live in a place that is constantly humid Moistureabsorbent packets are another great way to keep the moisture in your case under control 3 Store your guitar in a climatecontrolled room for longterm storage If you must store your guitar for long periods of time where you wont be able to maintain it make sure its in a controlled climate Overly dry or humid storage containers will quickly corrode your guitar If you have the option to leave your guitar with someone who could perform a bit of routine maintenance on it this is always a better option than leaving it unmonitored Community QA Question Is the process of preventing corrosion the same for electric guitar and acoustic guitar And does guitar shine spray prevent corrosion wikiHow Contributor Community Answer The process is pretty much the same for both types of guitars The main difference is that acoustics dont have pickups or knobs usually Shine spray is most likely for appearance not maintaining the guitar Not Helpful 0 Helpful 1 Question I have an old guitar and the pegs need oiling Is it safe to do this wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Yes although you should remove the strings assuming theyre old too and think about removing the pegs to clean and oil them properly This also gives you the chance to clean every other part of the guitar neck and body without the strings in the way Not Helpful 0 Helpful 0 Submit

How to Prevent Hair from Breaking Off Co - authored by Ashley Adams Explore this Article Using a Healthy Washing Technique Avoiding Common Causes of Breakage Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Split ends are common and completely normal — but that does n ’ t mean you want them hanging around ! Breakage can make your hairstyle look limp and lackluster , and it can feel hard to get rid of without resorting to drastic haircuts . Luckily , by using restorative products and avoiding mistakes like over - washing or frequent heat styling , you can stop breakage in its tracks and help your hair grow healthy and strong . Method 1 Using a Healthy Washing Technique 1 Wash with a restorative shampoo to strengthen your hair . Hydrating shampoos do n ’ t strip away your hair ’ s natural oils . Look for a product advertised as “ anti - breakage , ” “ strengthening , ” “ restorative , ” or “ repair . ” To apply , wet your hair in the shower and pour a coin - sized amount of shampoo into your palm . Massage it into your scalp and roots , then rinse well under cold water . These shampoos will help to seal your split ends and thicken your hair while keeping it shiny . Make sure that you rinse your hair thoroughly both before and after you apply the shampoo . 2 Use a strengthening conditioner to moisturize the ends of your hair . Look for a conditioner that includes strengthening proteins and that ’ s specialized for your hair type . Pour a dollop into your palm and smooth it over your strands , from about mid - length to tips . Rinse off with cool water . 3 Use a deep conditioner once a week to renew and repair your hair . While your hair is still wet , rub a quarter - sized amount of deep conditioner between your hands . Gently massage it into your hair from mid - length to tips . Then , pin your hair back and let it soak in for 10 - 30 minutes . You can place a shower cap over your head to keep the deep conditioner in place . To save time , wash and deep condition your hair at the beginning of your shower . Leave the conditioner in place while you wash your body and rinse it out at the end of your shower using cool water . Look for a deep conditioner that matches your hair type , whether that ’ s fine , thick , natural , or curly . 4 Dry your hair with a microfiber towel to avoid frizz - causing friction . The usual terry - cloth towels can create friction that damages your hair , causing split ends . Blot your hair dry with a microfiber towel instead , which soaks up excess moisture without leaving your hair too dry . Avoid rubbing your hair with the towel , which can cause breakage as well . 5 Install a showerhead filter to sift harsh minerals out of your water ( optional ) . Washing your hair with “ hard water ” — water that contains minerals like chlorine magnesium and calcium — can damage your hair cuticles , which can weaken your hair and cause breakage . Installing a simple filtered showerhead can wash these minerals out , keeping your hair strong , soft , and shiny . You can buy filtered showerheads online and in home stores . They can range in price from $ 30 - $ 100 . To find out whether you have hard water in your home , check your filter for a white film . This is left behind by minerals during evaporation , indicating that you have hard water . You can also search local news sources for information on local hard water . Search “ [ your area ] hard water . ” 6 Wash your hair 3 times a week to avoid drying it out . Over - washing your hair can strip it of natural oils , leaving it more vulnerable to damage and breakage . Depending on your hair type , try to wash it as little as possible — 3 times a week is a good standard to shoot for . If your hair gets oily more quickly , try a dry shampoo for a quick clean that wo n ’ t cause damage . Method 2 Avoiding Common Causes of Breakage Limit your heat styling to 1 - 2 times per week . Using a blow dryer , straightening iron , or curling iron can weaken your hair and make it more prone to breakage , especially when you use them on a daily basis . Help your hair recuperate and take a break by limiting your heat styling to once or twice a week . When you do style with a heat tool , make sure to apply a heat protecting spray or cream first . Allow your hair to air dry a few times a week , such as on days when you are n ' t in a rush . Use soft - bristled brushes rather than plastic ones . Brushes with plastic bristles can be rough on your hair , causing strands to fray and break . Choose a soft paddle brush instead , which will be more gentle on your hair while still detangling effectively . Using a gentle comb is especially important if you do a lot of teasing or backcombing to create volume . 3 Avoid wearing tight hairstyles too often . Tight ponytails and buns can weaken your hair both at the hair elastic and near your roots , especially if you wear do the same style everyday . Mix it up and give your hair a break by leaving your strands down or tying them back in a loose bun or braid . Make sure your hair does n ’ t get caught under the strap of your shoulder bag , either ; the strain can cause breakage . Move your hair to your other shoulder before pulling on your bag . 4 Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction on your hair . Common cotton pillowcases can cause friction between your hair and the fabric , causing breakage . Using a satin or silk pillowcase instead will reduce this risk and help cut down on frizz as well . As an alternative , you could wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf before going to bed . 5 Get haircuts frequently to keep your ends neat . Exactly how often you should get a trim will depend on your hair type , but maintaining a regular schedule will help prevent split ends from worsening and breaking off . Talk to your hair stylist to see how often you should get a trim to keep your hair healthy . Get more frequent cuts , every 4 weeks , if you have a short cut , fine hair , or strands that have sustained damage from coloring or other chemical processes . For fine or medium curls and longer styles , try to go in for a trim every 8 - 12 weeks . If you have tight , coarse curls , you can get a cut about once every 12 weeks . 6 Eat a healthy diet with lots of protein to keep your hair strong . Your diet has a big impact on how strong and shiny your hair is ! Eating healthy and filling your diet with lots of protein will keep your hair strong , shiny , and resistant to breakage . Great foods for healthy hair include : Fish like salmon and halibut Fruit like tangerines and guavas Eggs Oatmeal Greek yogurt Spinach Nuts , seeds , and chickpeas Community Q&A Question Will using mousse every 2 days cause hair to break ?

How to Propagate Clematis Coauthored by Andrew Carberry In this Article Germinating Seeds Propagating from Cuttings Community QA References Clematis is a favorite flowering vine for many gardeners combining beautiful shapes and colors with a very long lifespan Unfortunately clematis can be very expensive to purchase from the store and difficult to propagate without a little knowhow With the right preparations however youll be set to germinate fresh clematis seeds or to produce clematis plants from cuttings in no time Method 1 Germinating Seeds 1 Understand the germination process It is true that germinating seeds is typically straightforward but clematis are particularly high maintenance and require loads of attention and care in order to propagate from seed Amazingly it takes between 1236 months for clematis seeds to germinate Hybrid seeds take much longer than cultivars meaning that youll likely be waiting nearly three years for your hybrid seeds to sprout Keep this in mind going into your clematis project and youll likely have quite a bit of time to wait before finally planting your clematis Youll need to give your seeds attention on an almost daily basis in order for them to sprout eventually Youll have a better chance of your clematis sprouting if you plant multiple seeds at once 2 Get your materials ready In addition to their long germination period clematis seeds also require strict growing conditions It is vital that all of your materials are sterilized and prepared for the sole purpose of planting your clematis Youll need seed trays horticultural disinfectant sterilized seedling planting mix clean glass or a plastic bag and water for moistening the soil Use your disinfectant to clean your seed trays and glass otherwise you run the risk of infecting your fragile seeds with disease 3 Collect your seeds If youre not purchasing your seeds from the store youll have to identify and collect viable seeds from an existing clematis To do so wait until the seed heads the fluffyfurry part of the flower turns brown and the seeds are exposed as this means that the seeds have fully ripened and dried out Gently remove them from the seed head and store them in a dry cool area Dont store seeds in a plastic bag as moisture can build up inside and cause the seeds to rot Instead put them in a paper bag or compartment Keep in mind that the seeds from a hybrid clematis will not form flowers that look like the parents 4 Prepare your seed trays After youve sterilized your seed trays fill them with the sterilized seedling potting mix This typically has very little soil and is mainly a mixture of peat moss perlite and vermiculite making it easy for the seeds to sprout Fill the seed trays about of the way full with the mixture and thoroughly wet it with water 5 Plant your seeds Place each of your seeds individually in each seed tray on top of the potting mixture When all your seeds have been placed cover them up with about inch of potting mixture or sand Water the seeds heavily so the soil is damp but not soaking and then place your glass over the seeds The glass will help keep the humidity and temperature high which is preferable for germinating clematis seeds Instead of glass you can also cover the soil with plastic wrap or a plastic bag This will also effectively raise the humidity and temperature 6 Move your seeds to the best location The seeds will do best when placed in a shady location with a temperature between 6070 F 1621 C When winter comes around you should allow the seeds to go through a natural freezefrost cycle which will trigger them to sprout Place them in a shaded area outdoors during the winter to promote this cycle 7 Maintain your seeds As the months progress youll need to take careful care of your seeds so that they germinate rather than drying out or rotting Make sure that the potting mixture you planted them in is always moist and remove the glass or plastic bag for a few hours each day to prevent too much moisture from building up and causing the seeds to rot 8 Wait for the seeds to sprout As aforementioned the specific amount of time it will take for your seeds to sprout will vary greatly on the type of clematis youve planted There are two sets of leaves you should be paying attention for on your seedling the first set and the true set The first set also called the seed leaves is the first pair of leaves that grow from the seed Once you see the first set of leaves remove the plastic or glass covering from the soil The second set of leaves are called the true leaves and are the signal that your seeds 9 Transplant your seedlings When the true leaves appear youll need to transplant your seedlings You can choose to relocate them to a larger pot or to plant them outdoors Either way carefully move them to their new location being sure not to damage their delicate roots If you choose to move them outdoors youll need to harden them off by placing them in their pots outside for a few hours every day Doing this for 12 weeks will help to prepare the clematis for the environmental conditions outdoors Method 2 Propagating from Cuttings 1 Prepare your supplies As with germinating clematis from seeds propagating clematis from cuttings requires quite a bit of preparation and the proper materials Youll need a very sharp knife or pair of gardening shears horticultural disinfectant 6inch planters disinfected potting mixture fungicide mix rooting hormone powder plastic bags and strawsstakes of some sort to create mini greenhouses Begin by using your disinfectant to clean your knifeshears planting pots and the stakesstraws you are using 2 Take your cutting Use your knife or gardening shears to make a single clean cut through an existing clematis plant Cut a vinebranch that is at least 3feet long severing the plant just above a set of leaves and below the next node up on the stem If you can try to take your cutting from the center of the vine rather than the base or the tip as this has the highest likelihood of sprouting Continue to separate your cutting out into smaller sections for planting by cutting just above a leaf node 3 Carefully prepare your cuttings for planting If you want your cuttings to sprout it is imperative that you very carefully follow the directions for using your fungicide and rooting hormone mixtures Start by dunking each of your cuttings in the fungicide mixture following the directions that came with the mix Then dip the ends of each cutting in the rooting hormone mix being careful to get just the right amount Adding too much of the rooting hormones can prevent growth which is not what you want Finish by cutting one leaf off each stem this will reduce moisture loss 4 Plant your cuttings Fill each of your pots with your sterile soil mixture so that they are about of the way full Bury the tips of each of the cuttings so that the joint of the leaves are level with the topsoil Give them a light watering so the soil is damp and label the pot if applicable 5 Increase the humidity Clematis cuttings will thrive in a slightly humid environment which you can easily create with a few household materials Stick 34 straight straws or bamboo stakes into each container and place a plastic bag over the top Make sure that the bag is not touching the plant at all and give the soil a good watering Once a day flip the bag inside out to let excess moisture out and to prevent rotting 6 Move the cuttings to the best location It will take 68 weeks for your cuttings to start growing and in the meantime they should be placed under the best growing conditions possible Relocate the potted plants to a place that has plenty of ambient sunlight but is mainly shaded with a temperature between 6070 F 1621 C Too much direct sunlight can overheat the young plants especially under their plastic bags 7 Maintain your cuttings Although your cuttings may sprout in 68 weeks they likely wont be ready to be planted outdoors for about a year During this time water them regularly so that the soil is kept moist at all times and continue removing and replacing your plastic bag greenhouse to keep the humidity up Community QA Question When should I pick out a top bud in order to make the plant fuller Andrew Carberry Food Systems Expert Expert Answer This depends on your specific situation Allow

How to Protect Assets From Nursing Home Expenses Coauthored by Michael R Lewis In this Article Paying for LongTerm Care Paying Down Assets to Qualify for Medicaid Transferring Assets to Qualify for Medicaid Community QA 12 References The Department of Health and Human Services reported that by 2010 nearly 10 million Americans required longterm care It is expected that 70 of people turning 65 will need longterm care at some point in their lives and that many of these people will require care from a longterm care facility or nursing home It is never too early to begin planning for how you will pay for care protect your assets and qualify for Medicaid Part 1 Paying for LongTerm Care 1 Use private wealth If you have significant financial resources you may be able to afford to pay for nursing home services or private inhome services out of pocket It is unlikely that you would be able or desire to reduce your wealth to such a degree as to qualify for Medicaid The average cost for longterm nursing home care is between 6000 and 9000 a month It may be more cost effective for you to pay for inhome care which may cost approximately 21 an hour 2 Rely on family In 2015 65 million people provided informal and family care giving to people who were ill disabled or elderly These services not only reduced the cost of care giving expenses but it also kept people in their homes longer and out of nursing homes If you only need assistance with certain things consider asking a family member to help you out during the week or pay someone to come into your home to help you This will minimize the amount of money you need to spend on longterm care 3 Pay with private insurance or Medicare You will need to look closely at your private insurance policy as most insurers do not cover longterm nursing home care Most insurance policies including Medicare limit nursing home care to 100 days as part of rehabilitation after a hospital stay Policies typically only cover short term nursing home stays where you are required to receive skilled care Your insurance plan may help to offset the costs of copays or treatment for short term skilled care but it is unlikely that it will cover longterm care where you only need assistance with activities of daily living ADL such as bathing dressing or eating 4 Acquire longterm health insurance Individuals can purchase longterm health insurance which reimburses up to a certain amount the cost for longterm health care including assistance with ADLs You should note that your age and your health are factors in determining the cost of this insurance Many elderly people may not qualify for this insurance or if they do qualify may not be able to afford this insurance if they wait too long to acquire it In determining the cost of longterm health insurance policies insurers examine Your age at the time you purchase the policy The maximum amount the policy will pay out on a daily basis The maximum number of days or years that the policy will pay out Whether you choose any addons to the policy such as increases for inflation 5 Qualify for Medicaid Medicaid is a federal program that is administered by each state for its residents In order to qualify for Medicaid you have to meet certain income and assets requirements as the program was meant to protect lowincome individuals Medicaid offers most Americans the best potential support for longterm care costs In order to qualify for Medicaid most states limit a persons assets to 2000 for an individual and 3000 for a couple If one spouse goes into a nursing care for the purposes of Medicaid the individual going into care can only have 2000 in nonexempt assets and the spouse remaining at home can keep half of the overall assets Anything over half the assets plus 2000 must be reduced in order to qualify for Medicaid This is called the spousal impoverishment rule Medicaid also has monthly income limits that are set on a statebystate basis In New York this amount is 825 a month for an individual living alone and 1209 a month for a couple Part 2 Paying Down Assets to Qualify for Medicaid 1 Hire an attorney The rules governing Medicaid are complex and by violating the rules you can disqualify yourself from the program It is very important that you hire an experienced elder law attorney These attorneys understand all of the Medicaid rules can help you protect your assets legally and provide you important financial planning advice When looking for an attorney it is always best to start with a referral from a friend or family member that retained the attorneys services A trusted recommendation will put you at ease when meeting the attorney for the first time You can locate elder law attorneys through the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys You can find information about attorneys in your area on their website at httpswwwnaelaorg or through the American Bar Association at httpappsamericanbarorglegalservicesfindlegalhelphomecfm When meeting your attorney for the first time make sure that you explain all of your concerns potential sources of income and the outcome that you would like to see The attorney can then work with you to come up with a financial plan that best meets your needs and protects your assets should you or your spouse require nursing home care 2 Make sure your community property is below the limit When you apply for medicaid the assets of both you and your spouse the community spouse are added together to determine your total amount of assets community property There is a limit to the amount of these assets that if you are over it prevents you from receiving medicaid This limit depends on your state but can be as high as 119200 3 Reduce your assets by paying off debts If your assets are greater than the maximum set by Medicaid you should try to pay down your assets in order to qualify for the program While certain assets are not counted towards your Medicaid threshold such as your family home or car you may reduce the amount of assets so that one spouse can qualify for the program You can reduce your assets and become eligible for Medicaid in the following ways Pay for medical care or inhome care Pay for household items or expenses including prepaying real estate taxes Prepay for burial or funeral services Pay off debt including the mortgage credit cards or student loans 4 Reduce your assets by purchasing assets exempt under Medicaid There are a number of items that Medicaid does not count towards your overall asset calculation and therefore by purchasing these items you can reduce your assets to qualify for Medicaid Some of the assets exempt under Medicaid include Necessary household items such as furniture or appliances At least one motor vehicle The family home if at least one of the following people live there the spouse of the person applying for Medicaid a child under the age of 21 a disabled child of any age a child who lived in the home for two years and provided the Medicaid applicant with inhome care or a brother or sister who are partial owners of the house Term life insurance policies Part 3 Transferring Assets to Qualify for Medicaid 1 Transfer money into a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust With a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust MAPT you transfer all of your assets to the trust and thereby give up the ability to control those funds You can remain in your home and your income is outside of the trust but the principal of the trust is protected and does not count towards your Medicaid asset total It is very important that you use an attorney to set up this trust Assets placed in the trust are subject to the five year look back period discussed below You would have to assign someone other than you or your spouse to act as trustee for the trust 2 Beware of the fiveyear rule Medicaid closely examines all transfers of assets in the five years prior to a person applying for Medicaid This is referred to as Medicaids lookback provisions If Medicaid determines that you conducted a nonexempt transfer you can be penalized and not allowed to qualify for Medicaid for a certain number of years It is very important that you speak with an elder law attorney before attempting to transfer funds to qualify for Medicaid Medicaid evaluates all transfers made in the five years before you apply for Medicaid to determine whether any of your transfers were made for less than fair market value Medicaid is checking to see whether you gave your money away so as to avoid paying for your own care States have differing rules on when to start the lookback time and some states even require children to pay for the care of their indigent parents Medicaid calculates the penalty period by dividing the amount of assets transferred by the average cost of a private nursing home in your area You are then restricted by the number of days for which your asset transfer would have paid 3 Transfer exempt assets to avoid penalties There are a number of exceptions to Medicaids lookback provision that would allow you to transfer certain assets and not be penalized when it comes to qualifying for Medicaid and having Medicaid pay for your nursing home care These exceptions include Transferring funds to your spouse for your spouses benefit Transferring assets to your blind or disabled child Establishing a trust for your blind or disabled child Establishing a trust for a disabled individual 65 years or younger even if the trust is established for the Medicaid applicant As discussed above you can also transfer your home to certain people and not be penalized These people include your spouse children under the age of 21 or blind or disabled children Medicaid applicants siblings who own a partial share in the home a child who has lived in the home for two years to care for the parent 4 Create a life estate A life estate sometimes referred to as a Lady Bird deed is a type of real estate transfer whereby a person gives or sells their home but retains the right to live in the home until they die or their spouse dies People use this to protect the home as an asset from nursing homes and Medicaid as well as a way to have the home skip the probate process While some states do not consider homes part of a persons assets unless the home is worth a certain amount other states would subject the home to a Medicaid lookback This means that if you transferred your home under a life estate within 5 years and you do not meet any of the exceptions discussed above you will be subject to a Medicaid penalty Community QA Question I am 63 and own a home but my daughter is a joint owner on the deed To qualify for Medicare would I need to sell my home If so will I have to divide the money from the sale with Medicare

Answer If you are able to file taxes and claim a profit on the business the spouses portion will be countable income As to the business being a countable asset this is more complicated It would depend on the conditions of the ownership how much equity there is availability to sell In short yes it could be a countable asset as to whether you would have to sell it maybe not Have your local Medicaid

some bonds from my mother and they are in my name only would that affect my husband going into a nursing home when we only have a joint income of about 2300 per month wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Assets and income are not the same thing All assets are considered joint property in a marriage regardless of which spouses name is on the asset The income of the spouse in the nursing home will have to be used as part of their cost of care The community spouse keeps their own income which is why setting up an annuity for income for them can be a way to protect assets and increase their

How to Prune Plum Trees Co - authored by Andrew Carberry Explore this Article Pruning Young Plum Trees Maintaining Older Plum Trees Article Summary Video Questions & Answers Related Articles References Plum trees need to be pruned once a year so that they ' ll retain a healthy shape and produce abundant fruit . The timing is important , since pruning at the wrong time of year can expose the tree to disease . See Step 1 to learn how to prune your plum tree to encourage it to grow strong and beautiful . Method 1 Pruning Young Plum Trees 1 Prune at the right time . You can prune the tree while it is dormant in winter or in summer . Dormant pruning is pruning the tree during the late winter , when no new growth is happening and the tree does n ' t have any leaves . Pruning while the tree is dormant encourages vibrant growth come spring , and it ' s less likely to cause damage to the tree than summer pruning . Summer pruning can be used to slow the growth of a tree that is getting too big and to thin new growth that is overcrowding . Prune as late in the winter as possible before new growth occurs , since heavy freezes after pruning could damage the tree . Save some pruning for the summer . Pruning too much in late winter can lead to vegetative overgrowth and reduced fruit production . 2 Cut the tree to size after planting . It ' s important to prune a young tree during its first dormant season to encourage good growth and a suitable shape . As soon as possible after planting , cut it down so that it ' s only about 30 inches ( 76.2 cm ) high . Make the cut just above a bud . New growth will occur where you make each cut . Use loppers to make clean , sharp cuts . Gouges and jagged edges leave the tree vulnerable to pests and disease . After this first pruning , you might wish to paint the tree with white latex paint to keep it from getting sunburned and protect it from pests . 3 Create a scaffold whorl . Choose four branches evenly spaced around the tree to serve as the tree ' s " scaffold whorl . " These branches provide structure and keep the tree ' s shape balanced . Cut each of the four branches back so that each one has just 1 or 2 buds . Make the cuts just above the buds . Cut the remaining side shoots and branches flush against the trunk . For the first two years of the tree ' s life , prune only during the dormant season and keep the scaffold whorl cut back to 10 inches ( 25.4 cm ) . 4 Create more scaffold whorls in the third year . By year 3 , the tree will have produced another set of strong lateral shoots . Create more sets of scaffold whorls that are evenly spaced around the tree . Cut the whorls closer to the top of the tree back to 1 bud , and leave the whorls closer to the bottom 2 buds . The plum tree should take on a vase or Christmas - tree shape , which allows sunlight to filter through and encourage healthy growth . 5 Keep pruning the trunk . Cut back the trunk by a foot or two each year to control the height of the tree and encourage bushy growth toward the bottom . Prune it so that a bud is left at the tip . 6 Continue with this pattern until the tree has reached your desired height . For the first 3 - 5 years of the tree ' s life , continue creating new scaffold whorls and cutting back the trunk during the tree ' s dormant period . When you ' re happy with the tree ' s height , move on to pruning techniques suitable for older trees . Method 2 Maintaining Older Plum Trees Prune dead and diseased branches . Branches that are dead or diseased should be cut away each year so that the tree can stop wasting energy on them . Use a tree saw or loppers to cut the branches flush with the tree trunk . Be sure to make clean cuts so that the tree is n ' t vulnerable to further disease . If larger branches have developed a collar , cut just outside the collar , a few inches from the trunk . Dead and diseased branches can be removed any time of year , since taking them off wo n ' t affect the growth of the tree . Prune branches that do n ' t bear fruit . If you notice a branch or two that do n ' t seem to be producing fruit , you may want to remove them . Make your cut flush with the tree ' s trunk , rather than just cutting back to a bud , since new growth on the same branch is n ' t likely to produce different results . 3 Cut back the suckers . Suckers are new shoots that come up from the root system around the base of the tree . Cut them away so that the tree ' s energy is directed into the main tree trunk and wo n ' t get sapped by the suckers . Cut the suckers all the way to the ground using loppers . 4 Cut branches that cross over other branches . Each season , the tree is likely to produce new branches that cross over existing branches . It ' s important to prune the tree carefully so that no crossover branches remain . Crossover branches crowd the tree and prevent sunlight from filtering through the branches . They also inhibit air flow and can leave the tree vulnerable to disease and pests . 5 Prune in the summer to discourage growth . If your plum tree is getting too big for your yard , you can prune in the summer to slow down its growth . Whereas dormant pruning encourages vibrant spring growth , summer pruning cuts away the tree ' s energy and limits growth for the season . If you prune in the summer , be careful not to cut away too much of the tree . Pruning too late in the summer can make the tree vulnerable to cold winter temperatures . In the US , do n ' t prune after July to reduce the risk of frost damage to new growth . Beware that summer pruning can cause the tree to put its energy into leaf growth rather than fruit production . Community Q&A Question After pruning , should I use pruning sealer ? Andrew Carberry Food Systems Expert Expert Answer Pruning sealer can help protect the cut areas from disease , especially if you are pruning during a rainy season . Not Helpful 14 Helpful 30 Question When do I prune a plum tree that is in a pot ? Andrew Carberry Food Systems Expert Expert Answer You can follow the same principles here , doing most of your pruning while the tree is dormant . Not Helpful 18 Helpful 16 What is the optimum height for a plum tree ? Community Answer No taller than about 25 ft , but it depends on how tall your ladder is , as you will need to be able to reach the top to harvest the fruit . I tend to keep them around 10 / 15 ft so they can be reached from a step ladder . 26 My tree bears a lot of fruit , but it all falls off the tree when it is tiny . What ' s wrong ? Community Answer Too much fruit is your problem . Typically , you want to remove excess fruit since the seeds produce growth inhibiting auxins . Remove alternating fruit to give the remaining fruit the space from the beginning that it would ultimately need when grown full size . 6 38 My plum tree is developing some good sized cracks in its bark , which is also falling off . If there is a really cold winter will this hurt it ? Unfortunately , I do not think that your tree is healthy . I would worry about it surviving winter . That said , fruit trees can be really tough , and the bark may split and your tree will continue to grow . There is not much you can do unless you can identify what is going on and treat the tree . 26 Can I cut a tall plum branch bearing fruit in the summer ? Yes . If you want to let the fruit ripen , cut just beyond the fruit . If not , chop it wherever you want . 17 How do I prune my plum tree if it does n ' t have a center trunk ? Prune it to the shape you want . A center trunk does not make much difference in the production of fruit ; it just means the tree will not get much taller unless you encourage a branch to become the central leader . 7 28 My plum tree had some flowers in spring , but no fruit . It has never born fruit in 6 years . Can I prune it hard now , in July ? Your plum tree needs a mate . Find out the variety of your tree and then get another variety that is suitable for cross - pollination . 16 37 My 10 year - old plum tree never produces and it suppose to be a self - pollinated tree . What can I do ? Plums typically need to be in the vicinity of another tree to bear decently . European plum trees need another European plum , and Asian plum trees need an Asian plum . Very few plum trees are said to be self - pollinating . 21 45 If a landscaper planted a purple plum tree near my porch , should I cut it down to avoid foundation damage , or can I cut the branches to keep the tree short ? I would recommend cutting it down . If left it may well undermine the foundations of the porch . The tap root of any deciduous tree will be longer than the radius of the tree and as the tree trunk expands in diameter so does the tap root . 12 Show more answers Unanswered Questions An old plumb tree that has produced nice plumbs every season was damaged by wind , with many fruiting branches broken .

How to Read Graphs Author Info Line graphs and bar graphs are both visual ways of representing two or more data sets and their interrelation In other words graphs are pictures that show you how one thing changes in relation to another Learning to read graphs properly is a matter of interpreting which pieces of information go together Steps 1 Identify what the graph represents Most graphs will have a clearly labeled xelement spaced along the graphs horizontal axis and a clearly labeled yelement spaced along the graphs vertical axis The graphs title should also tell you exactly what its about 2 Check the scale for each graph element This applies to both line graphs and bar graphs For example if youre looking at a graph that shows how many salmon returned to a given stream over the period of a few months last year each increment along the graphs yaxis might represent hundreds thousands or tens of thousands of salmon returning you wont know which scale numbers apply until you check the graph 3 Locate the graph element you want information on For example you might want to know how many salmon returned to the stream in question in August of last year So youd read across the graphs horizontal axis until you find August Time elements such as days weeks months or years are almost always listed along the horizontal x axis Quantity measurements are almost always listed along the vertical y axis 4 Read directly up from August until you find a dot or a slanting line on a line graph or the top of a bar for a bar graph Then read straight across to the left until you hit the graphs labeled yaxis Whatever quantity that line intersects with is the measurement for salmon return in August So if you read up to the dot line or top of the bar for salmon in August then read across to the left and hit 10000 you know 10000 salmon returned in August If you hit a point between any two labeled graph increments you have to estimate based on where you land between the 2 increments For example if you hit a point halfway between 10000 and 15000 you can safely estimate that the correct number is about 12500 Community QA Question How do I graph 1920 population is 65000 1924 population is 100000 1925 population is 60000 Donagan Top Answerer Let the xaxis be one set of numbers say the years and let the yaxis be the other set of numbers say the populations Plot the points corresponding to each pair of numbers a given year and its population Not Helpful 2 Helpful 17 Question What is the trend when both variables increase Donagan Top Answerer The trend is represented by a line moving up from left to right Not Helpful 4 Helpful 13 Question What is an increase called in a graph wikiHow Contributor Community Answer It is usually called a slope Not Helpful 13 Question What is a coefficient wikiHow Contributor Community Answer A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression Not Helpful 3 Helpful 3 Unanswered Questions How do I use appropriate vocabulary to analyze the graph Answer this question Flag as How do I comment or interpret data on a graph Answer this question Flag as Do you read outside lines Answer this question Flag as How do I measure graphs for temperatures Answer this question Flag as Submit Tips Line graphs give you 1 piece of explicit information that bar graphs dont The steepness of the line connecting each data point on the graph that is each dot indicates the rate of change A steeply descending line for example would show that salmon returns dropped abruptly from 1 month to the next But a slowly ascending line represents a gradual increase If the graph correlates more than 2 elements the extra data sets are usually assigned to the x or horizontal axis Often the additional data sets are graphed in another color to avoid confusion So if you want to compare the salmon returns over the same months for more than 1 year at a time you could graph each years return on the same graph but in a different color References httpwwwstudyzoneorgtestprepmath4dlinegraph4lcfm httpwwwmathgoodiescomlessonsgraphslinehtml

How to Recognize Signs of an Abusive Man Coauthored by Paul Chernyak LPC In this Article Article Summary Assessing Personality Evaluating Your Relationship Recognizing Signs of Victimization Community QA 15 References If you have been the victim of an abusive relationship in the past you should be especially careful about who you enter into a relationship with in the future so that you do not repeat a pattern Even if you have not been in an abusive relationship you should be aware of the characteristics of men who could turn out to be abusers to protect yourself Method 1 Assessing Personality 1 Be wary of men who seem perfect Obviously not everyone who seems perfect is abusive But some men who are abusive care about outward image and popularity and make it a point to have many friends He may be so concerned about his image that he will be less concerned about maintaining a healthy relationship This is also related to a tendency for abusers to be very controlling they control their own image very carefully Likewise they expect to be able to control other people completely 2 Watch out for signs of codependence or very quick commitment Men who are abusers tend to get into relationships very quickly This is related to extremes in behavior that are also common to abusers Someone may have abusive characteristics if he Pushes you to commit to exclusivity or living together very quickly Claims that your relationship was love at first sight or that he cant live without you Makes you feel guilty for not feeling ready to commit as quickly as he is 3 Monitor jealousy and insecurity levels Does he overreact when you spend time with others Does he dislike your friends for no apparent reason Does he accuse you of cheating These can be signs that he is overly jealous An even greater indication that his jealousy is excessive is a tendency to twist or manipulate the way he expresses his jealousy Some ways that he may manipulate or reframe his jealousy include Saying that his jealousy is a sign of his deep love Masking jealous behavior as concern Claiming that he is curious about how you spent your day and who you talked to when he is really monitoring your behavior and interactions Saying that he doesnt like you spending time with others because he misses you too much himself Pretending to stop by to surprise you with a gift or a visit when he is really checking to see what you are doing 4 Talk to a potential partner about feelings Many abusive men have difficulty expressing their feelings Before entering into a serious relationship with someone you should have many conversations with him in which you can evaluate his personality and determine whether he can talk to you about things that are related to feelings This also shows that he is willing to feel vulnerable something that many abusers are uncomfortable with 5 Do not tolerate violence or signs of violence If a potential partner shows signs of violence towards you others or even inanimate objects you should likely avoid a relationship with him For example if he gets mad and punches a wall or table he could be showing a tendency to become violent in the future Another potential warning sign for violence is the use of force or control even in a supposedly playful way with sex 6 Look for a history of abuse People who are abusive in relationships are often abusive in other situations Try to find out about a history of abuse in other relationships towards family members or towards animals Most men who have been abusive to others in the past will continue to be abusive in the future If you decide to enter into a relationship with someone with a history of abuse encourage him to participate in a batterer intervention program Method 2 Evaluating Your Relationship 1 Determine whether your relationship is loving and healthy Your relationship may not be fully developed if you are in the early stages but you should be able to determine whether it is on the road to being a healthy relationship A healthy relationship is built on love trust and communication A few signs of a healthy relationship are when both partners in the relationship are able to Share feelings and thoughts openly Feel secure and happy in themselves Admit when they are wrong Share what they admire about their partner Spend time on a variety of activities intimacy play serious conversation sharing new experiences etc 2 Talk to your partner about his feelings about relationship roles You might specifically want to ask about his views on equal partnership Some abusive men have very strong feelings about traditional gender roles in a relationship Remember however that some people talk a good game but do not follow through with their actions Abusive men will often think of women as inferior to men If a potential partner expresses ideas that men are superior to women he is unlikely to be a good match even if he doesnt turn out to be abusive You should be with someone who respects you 3 Notice if your partner attempts to isolate you An early warning sign of an abusive or controlling relationship is a man trying to keep you from other people If he seems to be limiting the time you spend with friends or family get out now This is a trend that continues and escalates in an abusive relationship until the victim is so isolated that she feels as though she has nowhere to go if she wishes to leave 4 Ask others how your partner speaks of you when you are not around Even when they are having problems members of a committed healthy relationship speak well of each other to others If your partner talks down about you insults you or blames you for problems while you are not around he may be heading down the road towards abuse While it can be difficult to know how someone speaks about you while youre not there if you feel uneasy about it you can always ask other people Method 3 Recognizing Signs of Victimization 1 Notice whether you fear your partner It is not normal to be afraid of your partner or his temper If you are just beginning a relationship and you are afraid of your partner you should take immediate steps to get out The longer an abusive relationship goes on the worse the abuse gets The victim despite the escalating abuse usually finds it more difficult to leave 2 Consider whether you feel a lot of guilt Do you feel guilty a lot of the time Do you feel as though you are somehow failing your new partner or youre not good enough Sometimes guilt is completely selfcreated but abusers are great about manipulating their victims into feeling guilty This is one of the tools that abusers use to keep victims in a relationship If your guilt is coming completely from within you may want to seek therapy to address the underlying cause of the guilt If you are being manipulated or talked into feeling guilty your partner may be subtly controlling your thoughts and actions 3 Evaluate whether you are spending time the way you want to Some victims of abuse will feel that they have to ask permission of their partner before they do anything If you find yourself only doing what your partner wants to do or asking him if its okay for you to go do something you may be turning into a victim Note that asking for permission to do something is different from communicating about how you spend your time You can communicate and agree on what to do without losing control of your own actions 4 Hold on to your existing friends and hobbies It can be easy to get swept up into a new relationship but if you feel that you are losing touch with who you were before your relationship started take a step back You should be able to incorporate a new relationship into your life without losing touch with your friends and letting go of the things you enjoyed doing before you met your new partner Community QA Question What should I do if my partner of two years has hit me once and swears he would never hit me again He doesnt like my

These are the people who will help you keep your self respect and help you to leave if things get tough If you decide to leave him then you must do so and break all ties and communication with him It is the only way you can successfully move on He must respect this He must leave you alone if you request it Dont keep abuse a secret Tell someone whom you love trust and know If you tell him that you do not tolerate this behavior and he apologizes one minute and then blames you the next then he is not sincere It is time to move on When you tell him its over make sure to do it in a place where you can be seen but not necessarily heard by other people The last thing you want is to get abused as a result of trying to stop the abuse and he will be less likely to try anything in a public area Show 1 more tip Warnings Some abusers can be excellent actors Never underestimate this Especially if youre thinking of leaving and the abuser has a seemingly sudden change of personality such as an unexpected positive sense ie showering you with apology gifts repeatedly saying how sorry they are insisting theyll never treat you that way again etc Dont be a victim remove yourself by any means

How to Reduce Jaw Pain Co - authored by Chris M . Matsko , MD Explore this Article Treating Jaw Pain Caused By Grinding Teeth Treating Jaw Pain Caused By a Tooth Abscess Treating Jaw Pain Caused By TMJ Arthritis Show 1 more . . . Questions & Answers Related Articles References There are a number of things that can cause pain in your jaw , including fractures , misalignment , arthritis , dental abscess and Temporomandibular joint disorder ( TMJ ) . It is important that you have any jaw problems diagnosed by a professional as soon as they occur . Pain in the jaw area could be symptomatic of a serious condition like a heart attack or angina . Knowing what causes jaw pain can help aid in its treatment and avoid swelling , problems with chewing , and limited movement . Method 1 Treating Jaw Pain Caused By Grinding Teeth 1 Understand what causes teeth grinding . Though teeth grinding ( also known as bruxism ) does not necessarily have one single cause , doctors have identified several factors that can lead to teeth grinding during the day or at night , including : Ear pain Incoming teeth in children Unpleasant emotions ( stress , frustration , anger , anxiety ) Certain personality types ( hyper - competitive , hyper - aggressive ) A compulsive habit , often used to focus or cope with stressful situations Misaligned upper and lower teeth ( called a malocclusion ) Sleep - related complications , including sleep apnea Complications caused by certain degenerative disorders , including Huntington ' s disease and Parkinson ' s disease 2 Treat your teeth . If chronic teeth grinding is causing you severe jaw pain , you may want to consult your dentist on strategies you can take to prevent grinding , or at least reduce the side effects caused by bruxism . Use a mouth guard . This is especially useful if you experience bruxism at night . Wearing a mouth guard designed to prevent bruxism can help keep your upper and lower teeth separated and reduce the pain and damage caused by grinding . Correct your tooth alignment . In extreme cases of bruxism , your doctor may recommend wearing braces to realign your upper and lower rows of teeth , or having oral surgery to reshape the contours of your teeth . Have regular dental exams . Allowing your dentist to monitor and treat your teeth - grinding habits can help reduce the frequency of bruxism and reduce jaw pain . 3 Treat the underlying cause of bruxism . If extreme emotions or behavioral complications are causing the bruxism that has lead to severe jaw pain , you may want to consider ways of treating the emotional or behavioral causes . Try stress - management exercises like meditation or rigorous exercise . Try therapy to address issues like anxiety , anger , or stress . In extreme cases , medication may be recommended . Medication is not the preferred treatment for bruxism , but certain prescriptions , such as muscle relaxers , may help ease the tension and treat the pain . 4 Make lifestyle changes . If the bruxism causing your jaw pain is related to stress or anxiety , making lifestyle changes could help reduce the incidence of teeth grinding and help prevent pain in the future . Try to manage stress . Find what calms you down , whether it ' s listening to relaxing music , having a vigorous workout , or a calming soak in the tub . Practice your stress - relieving activity every day , especially before bed . Avoid caffeine and other stimulants . Try drinking decaffeinated coffee or tea , or for best results , drink a relaxing herbal tea in the evening . Avoid tobacco and alcohol in the evening to promote a more restful night ' s sleep with lower incidences of bruxism . Method 2 Treating Jaw Pain Caused By a Tooth Abscess Understand what causes a tooth abscess . An abscess is a bacterial infection at the nerve site , which is usually caused by a cavity that has gone without treatment for a prolonged period of time . Symptoms include : Prolonged throbbing pain in the tooth Sensitivity to temperature fluctuations , such as hot or cold food or beverages Pain during chewing , eating , or drinking Swelling of the face on the side of the abscess Swollen or inflamed lymph nodes around the jaw Treating the abscess . If you believe you have a tooth abscess , it is imperative that you see a dentist immediately . Depending on how severe your abscess is , your dentist may recommend a number of options to treat the abscess and prevent the infection from spreading . All of these procedures should only be performed by a licensed , experienced dentist . Draining the abscess may be possible . Your dentist may be able to drain the pus out at the site of the infection , using sterilized tools in a controlled medical setting . Again , do not attempt to perform any of these procedures at home . Having a root canal might be the best option . A root canal involves surgically removing the diseased tissue in your gums and draining the abscess . This allows your dentist to treat the infection while still managing to save your tooth . Your dentist may recommend extracting the infected tooth . This is usually done if the infection has rendered the tooth unsalvageable . After extracting the tooth , your dentist will then drain the abscess to treat the infection . Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent the infection from spreading to other teeth or to your jaw . These may be prescribed in conjunction with other treatments . It ' s important to practice good dental hygiene to prevent future abscesses . This includes flossing every day , brushing your teeth twice daily , limiting sugary snacks , and going in for regular dental checkups . 3 Manage the pain . After seeing your dentist to treat the infection , there are a number of things you can do at home to help manage the pain associated with an abscessed tooth . Mix one teaspoon of salt into an eight - ounce glass of warm water . Use this rinse after every meal and before bed to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection . Use pain relievers . Over - the - counter medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be taken to reduce inflammation and manage pain . Take only the recommended dosage listed on the label , as taking too much of a pain reliever may cause liver damage and other health problems . Use a cold compress . Apply a cold compress wrapped in cloth to the affected side of your face for 20 minutes on , 20 minutes off , to manage the pain and inflammation in the jaw and mouth . Do not use a hot compress with an abscessed tooth , as heat may allow the infection to spread . Treating Jaw Pain Caused By TMJ Arthritis Understand what causes TMJ problems . Temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) problems may be caused by traumatic arthritis , osteoarthritis , or rheumatoid arthritis . Osteoarthritis is most common in adults over 50 years of age . All forms of TMJ arthritis cause stiffness , pain , grating , swelling , and limited range of motion . Diagnose TMJ arthritis . Before you treat for TMJ arthritis , it ' s important to have confirmation that the problem is , in fact , arthritis . In most cases , an X - ray or cat scan can confirm TMJ arthritis based on the observed flattening and lipping of the condyle , the rounded prominence at the end of a bone . The exception to this is traumatic arthritis , which does not typically show up on an X - ray unless a pooling of fluids or a hemorrhage causes a widening of the joint , which would then be visible in an X - ray . The diagnosis of headache , such as cluster headache , migraine , temporal arteritis , and stroke , must be ruled out before a TMJ diagnosis , especially if you are having headache symptoms . Treat traumatic TMJ arthritis . Though arthritis can not be cured , there are a number of treatments that can be administered to reduce jaw pain associated with arthritis . Many doctors recommend non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs to treat the symptoms of traumatic TMJ arthritis . Try sticking to a soft food diet to avoid unnecessary jaw movement . Use a warm compress . Apply the compress for 20 minutes , then remove the compress and exercising the jaw by moving it open and shut , then side to side . Try repeating this treatment three to five times daily , as needed . Try wearing a bite guard . This may give some patients relief from pain or discomfort . 4 Treat osteoarthritic TMJ pain . Though this type of arthritis can be painful , especially if the jaws have begun to move closer together , there are steps that can be taken to manage the pain and treat the symptoms . Wear a mouth guard or bite plate . These can be worn during the day or overnight to help reduce pain and grating in patients with osteoarthritic TMJ pain . Try applying a warm compress for 20 minutes , then exercising the jaw . Move the jaw open and closed , then move the lower jaw from side to side . Stick to soft foods . Avoid anything hard or crunchy . Try an over - the - counter pain reliever , like acetaminophen or ibuprofen , to reduce pain and inflammation during particularly painful periods . 5 Treat rheumatoid arthritis TMJ pain . The treatment for rheumatoid TMJ pain is similar to rheumatoid pain in other joints . Typical treatments may include : Non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs Jaw exercises to maintain range of motion when pain is at a minimum A cold compress may be applied to reduce pain and inflammation . Apply the cold compress to the affected side of the jaw for 20 minutes on , followed by 20 minutes off . In severe cases , some doctors may recommend surgery to prevent rheumatoid arthritis from limiting jaw function . Surgery is usually considered a last option when all other alternatives have been exhausted , due to the risk of complications associated with surgery . 6 Use medication for all forms of TMJ arthritis . Pain relievers may be used to reduce pain and inflammation in all forms of TMJ arthritis . Consult with your doctor on a medication plan that works best for your symptoms . Pain relievers , both over - the - counter and prescription - strength , can help manage the pain associated with TMJ arthritis . Muscle relaxants may be prescribed by your doctor for short periods of time ( a few days to several weeks in length ) to help manage pain and make movement easier . Sedatives may be recommended by your doctor to help you sleep at night , if TMJ pain is keeping you awake . Your doctor may recommend supervised cortisone injections to treat pain and inflammation . Treating Jaw Pain With No Discernible Cause Change your diet . Avoid hard foods , as well as foods that require you to stretch your mouth open wide . These can include nuts , hard candy , hard baked goods , and larger fruits or vegetables like whole apples or uncut , raw carrots . You should also avoid chewing gum and other stretchy candy , such as taffy . Change the way you sleep . If you sleep on your side and you ' re experiencing jaw pain , you may want to try sleeping on your back at night to remove pressure from your jaw . You may also want to invest in a mouth guard to keep from grinding your teeth at night , as this may contribute to jaw pain without your realizing that it is happening . Use medication to treat pain . Over - the - counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help treat inflammation and other symptoms of jaw pain . Try a topical agent . Gels or mouth swabs containing Benzocaine or similar active ingredients can be found at most drug stores and provide topical pain relief to teeth and jaws . 5 Exercise your jaw muscles . Move your jaw open and closed , then work the jaw from side to side . Gradually increase the frequency of these exercises . 6 Use a hot or cold compress . First try using a hot compress , but if heat does not alleviate pain or inflammation , try a cold compress . Run a towel or wash cloth under warm - to - hot tap water . Wring out excess water . Once the towel is at a comfortable temperature that will not burn the skin , apply it to the affected area of your jaw . Hold the hot compress on for about five to ten minutes , and repeat several times each day . If a hot compress does not work , use a cold compress or an ice pack . Ice packs should be used for about 20 minutes on , then 20 minutes off . Make sure you wrap the cold compress in a t - shirt or other thin fabric so the cold does n ' t damage your skin . You may also want to try alternating hot and cold compresses to maximize the benefits of each . Use a hot compress for five minutes , then a cold compress for five minutes .

How to Remove Paint from Plastic Coauthored by wikiHow Staff 13 References In this Article Washing off Fresh Paint Scraping off Dried Paint Using Solvents for Stubborn Paint Community QA 13 References If you get paint on plastic dont worry Plastic is smooth and nonporous so its rare for paint to form a permanent bond with it The sooner you get to the paint the easier it will be to remove but you can still scrape it off once it has dried For more stubborn stains a little bit of rubbing alcohol or acetone is all you really need Method 1 Washing off Fresh Paint 1 Get to the paint while it is still wet This is when the paint is the easiest to remove Once the paint has started to dry it will become more difficult to clean off This method will work the best on items that can get wet If youre trying to clean an electronic you will have to be extra careful Unplug the electronic first and remove any batteries if possible 2 Prepare a solution of warm soapy water Fill a bucket with warm water then add a few pumps of dish soap into it Give the solution a stir to combine everything If you cant find any dish soap then any other type of liquid soap will do 3 Dip small waterresistant items into the bucket Make sure that the item is completely submerged If you need to rotate the item to get the other side wet too Use your fingers or a sponge to rub the paint off while the item is submerged sort of like washing dishes You only need to soak the parts that have paint on them Do not soak electronics or items that may get ruined if they get wet 4 Dip a sponge into the water then use it to wipe down larger items If this is an electronic item then you should squeeze out the excess water otherwise just wipe the paint off with the soaked sponge Since the item isnt continuously in contact with water you may have to do a few passes with the sponge Dip the sponge into the water and squeeze it after each pass that you make 5 Rinse the item with fresh water If this is a smaller item you can hold it under a running stream of water until all of the paint and soap residue disappear For larger items you can pour a bucket of water over them or rinse them with a hose If the item cant get wet dampen a sponge or rag with water squeeze the excess out then use it to wipe the soap and paint residue off 6 Let the item dry completely You can either set it out in a wellventilated area to air dry or you can pat it dry with a towel If this is an electronic wait until the item is completely dry before reinserting the batteries and plugging it in Consider waiting a full 24 to 48 hours for electronics just in case water got inside Method 2 Scraping off Dried Paint 1 Wait until the paint has dried This method will work best if the paint has completely dried but it may still work on acrylic or latex paint that hasnt fully dried yet and still has a rubbery texture 2 Soak the painted area in rubbing alcohol if it is thick You dont have to do this but the rubbing alcohol may help loosen the paint and make it easier to remove Simply pour some rubbing alcohol over the item use enough to cover the painted area and dont wipe it off Be careful with electronics Alternatively soak a paper towel with rubbing alcohol and place it over the painted area for a few minutes For best results use 91 or 99 rubbing alcohol 3 Choose a scraping tool such as your fingernail or a paint scraper Paint scrapers are great for flat surfaces because they have a nice straight edge Your fingernail will work better for curved surfaces such as toys and models You may still be able to use a paint scraper for cylindrical items however If you dont want to use your fingernail you can try using a flathead screwdriver Paint scrapers and screwdrivers can scratch certain types of plastic If youre worried about this use your fingernail Itll take longer but itll be safer 4 Hold the scraping tool at an angle against the paint If this is a splash of paint you should position the tool against the edge of the paint If the entire surface is painted you can pretty much start anywhere This goes for all scraping tools paint scrapers fingernails and screwdrivers For paint scraperscrewdriver on the unpainted area with the edge touching the paint For fingernails make a hook with your index finger then place your fingernail on the paint close to the edge 5 Scrape the paint off The direction that you scrape in depends on the item that you are using For paint scrapers and screwdrivers you want to push against the paint like pushing a cart For your fingernail you want to pull your fingernail across the paint like tickling someone Keep going until you have most of the paint off Dont worry if there is some residue If you are scraping on a cylindrical item run your scraping tool down the length of the cylinder This way youre always touching a straight edge 6 Rinse the residue with water or oil then scrape again if needed Alternatively you can use a little bit of vegetable oil instead This will help lubricate and lift the paint making it easier to scrape off Simply pour a little bit of water or oil onto the paint and continue scraping 7 Wipe the residue off with a damp cloth then let the item dry Soak a sponge or rag in plain water then squeeze the excess out Wipe the surface of the plastic item down with your sponge or rag then let it airdry You can also pat the item dry with a clean cloth Method 3 Using Solvents for Stubborn Paint 1 Choose your solvent Rubbing alcohol acetone and paint thinner are all great options You can also use a household cleaner with pine oil in it like PineSol If youre using rubbing alcohol be sure to get the highest percentage that you can find 91 or 99 If the percentage is lower than that the rubbing alcohol wont have any effect If you have sensitive skin it would be a good idea to wear plastic or vinyl gloves Acetone may damage some types of plastic such as Plexiglass or vinylbased plastic Its safe for fiberglass and polyester resin however 2 Test your solvent in an inconspicuous area This is important because different types of plastic react different types of solvents Pick up a drop of your solvent with a soft paintbrush a Qtip or even a toothpick and place the drop onto an inconspicuous area on your item Wait a few minutes then rinse the solvent off If nothing happens to the plastic the solvent may be safe to use Keep in mind that some solvents may need hours before they have an adverse effect on your item If the plastic changes color or texture dont use the solvent You might even want to press the area with your fingernail if you see an indent choose a different solvent 3 Wipe small areas down with a cotton ball soaked in your solution This will work the best with acetone but you may be able to use rubbing alcohol as well Simply soak your cotton ball with your solution then rub it across the painted area until the paint comes off Discard the cotton ball when it gets dirty and use a new one Acetone evaporates fast so youll have to resoak the cotton ball often If you dont do this the fuzz will stick the the paint 4 Use a stiffbristled brush for stubborn stains If the cotton ball is not working pour your rubbing alcohol or acetone over the painted area then scrub it with a stiffbristled brush Keep applying your solvent and scrubbing until the paint comes off Avoid nylon brushes if you are using acetone or the bristles may melt 5 Soak fullypainted items in your solution then scrub the paint off Place your item into a container then fill the container with enough of your solution to submerge the item Leave the item in the solution for 15 to 60 minutes then pull the item out Scrub the paint off with a stiffbristled toothbrush or manicure brush Clean the item with soap and water afterwards then let it dry This method works best with paint thinner and household cleaners You can soak most plastic items in household cleaner for up to 24 hours If theres still residue on the item dip it into the solution then scrub it again Think of this as scrubbing dried food off of a plate Can you answer these readers questions On How to Write a Letter Requesting a Favor a reader asks How

the work it will take to remove the sap Cleaning sap off of your car can be a tedious process can potentially scratch your car paint and going through a carwash might not do the trick However there are several ways to remove sap from your car that will make the task much easier Follow one of these methods to restore the clean shiny surface of your car Method 1 Washing Your Car with Soap and Hot Water 1 Wash your car as soon as possible The longer tree sap or any substances like sap and bird droppings or insect remains for that matter are left on the surface of the vehicle the more difficult they are to remove Acting fast will require the least amount of effort and the most success at getting a sparkling car exterior 2 Spray off your car with clean water Giving your car this initial rinse will get all the large debris off but it will also help you to see where you need to focus further cleaning Take the time to wash your whole car even if its not all covered in sap You will be more satisfied when you get the sap off if your whole car is nice and clean Besides you already have all the supplies out and ready to go 3 Rub the surface with a microfiber rag covered in hot soapy water Use the hottest water you can as the sap will be weakened most effectively by really hot water Before using other methods of sap removal try cleaning your car with really hot water If the sap gets removed then great you are done If the sap remains at least you have a clean surface on which to try other methods Be sure that your rag is clean and that you rinse it often to get any debris and sap out Using a dirty rag will only spread this across the surface of your car 4 Rinse the surface repeatedly Rinsing the area you are cleaning will allow you to see if your job is done or if you need to use more elbow grease to get the sap removed 5 Dry and wax the surface of your car once the sap is removed All the cleaning you have done has effectively removed the sap but it has probably also removed any wax that was protecting the surface Use your usual method of waxing your car or if you have never waxed your car before consult How to Wax You Car for directions Method 2 Removing Sap with a Commercial Remover 1 Wash your car with soap and hot water Make sure to get all the dirt and grime off the surface around the sap If attempting to get the sap off with the hot water and soap doesnt

applying pressure for a minute or so The remover should soak into the sap breaking down the connection between the sap and your cars surface 4 Rub in a circular motion over the sap to lift it from the surface Be relatively gentle while doing this as you dont want to spread any of the sap across the surface of your car 5 Finish by washing and waxing your car Rewashing you car will help remove any

the sap has been on the car for a while 2 Use a household product to remove the sapThere are a variety of products that you may have in your home already that can remove tree sap effectively Be sure to use them sparingly and test them on a hidden area of your paint job before applying to any sap as none of them are made specifically for the surface of a car Try mineral spirits or alcohol wipes Mineral spirits applied lightly with a soft cloth will break down the sap and remove it but it has the potential of damaging your cars surface Do not rub too vigorously or for too long so that the paint job is not damaged Mineral spirits and alcohol wipes should be tried separately Use the previous directions and try with mineral spirits If that fails use readily available 91 isopropyl alcohol instead of mineral spirits Alcohol evaporates quickly and although your cloth will seem wet it is the water that is left after the alcohol evaporates Keep your cloth wet with fresh alcohol and move quickly with light pressure This will easily remove hard dried as well as fresh pine tree sap Spray WD40 on the tree sap The sap will begin to absorb the solvent Let it sit for a few minutes You can use your rag to lift the loosened sap from the car Rub hand sanitizer on the tree sap Place a small amount of hand sanitizer on the sap and let it set for a few minutes Rub with a clean cloth and the sap dissolves right off 3 Finish with a regular car wash and wax The car wash will help remove any residue left over from the sap or the cleaner used to remove it Any solution that would deteriorate

How to Report Social Security Fraud Coauthored by Clinton M Sandvick JD In this Article Understanding Fraud Reporting the Fraud Community QA 19 References The Social Security Administration SSA runs many benefit programs which provide retirement disability and supplemental income benefits In 2014 over 59 million Americans received over 800 billion in benefits The amount of annual fraud however has been estimated at nearly a billion dollars If you suspect fraud then you should report it to SSA Part 1 Understanding Fraud 1 Identify fraud There are many examples of fraud waste and abuse which should be reported to the Social Security Administration SSA Benefit applicants commit fraud when they Make false statements on claims When an individual applies for Social Security Benefits they must affirm that all information on their forms is true If they knowingly report false information then they may have committed a crime For example someone may state that they are single on their application when they are married or that they are blind when they actually have a drivers license and are seen driving Hide facts that might affect eligibility An individual can commit fraud by omission as well as misstatements If an applicant does not disclose relevant information that would affect their eligibility such as receiving workers compensation benefits when applying for disability benefits then they have also committed fraud For example a person may be in jail but fail to report that fact or they may continue to collect and cash checks when a beneficiary has died 2 Recognize fraud committed by third parties Fraud isnt committed solely by beneficiaries Other people can commit fraud which you should report to SSA Individuals also commit fraud when they Misuse benefits When a Social Security beneficiary can not handle his or her own finances SSA will appoint someone to act as a Representative Payee If this person misuses Social Security Benefits then they may have committed a crime For example the Representative must spend the benefits on the beneficiarys immediate needs such as food clothing shelter utilities and medical care Any leftover funds should be invested on behalf of the beneficiary not spent by the Payee for their own benefit Buy or sell Social Security cards It is a crime to buy or sell legitimate or counterfeit Social Security cards Run a scam impersonating an SSA employee Sometimes a person who pretends to be an SSA employee will call people in the hopes of stealing their identity or money from their bank accounts You should not release this information to someone who calls you instead you should report the incident as fraud Bribe a Social Security Administration employee It is illegal to offer an SSA employee something of value such as money or gifts in exchange for government services Likewise it is fraud for an SSA employee to accept a bribe Misuse grant or contracting funds SSA administers many contracts and grants Any fraud waste or mismanagement of this money should be reported For example a contractor may have used an SSA grant to purchase substandard supplies or the contractor may have bribed an SSA employee in order to win a contract 3 Be alert to fraud committed by SSA employees SSA also seeks to eliminate fraud and abuse committed by its own employees Employees most commonly commit fraud when they violate their standards of conduct SSA employees are bound by an ethical code If an SSA employee violates this code they should be reported For example an employee violates the ethical code when he or she fails to obey an federal state or local law or regulation 4 Confirm that fraud has been committed What might look like fraud or abuse to one person may be perfectly reasonable given all of the facts For example you might think that someone failed to report their workers compensation when they applied for disability benefits however that person may have ended their workers compensation by the time they applied Before reporting alleged fraud to SSA you should have a reasonable suspicion that fraud is being committed Although you dont have to be one hundred percent sure you dont want deprive someone of a vital form of financial support unless you have a legitimate reason to think someone is committing fraud waste or abuse If you are worried that a Payee Representative has misused funds you might want to speak to the beneficiary and gently ask if he or she knows what their SSA benefits are being spent on If the beneficiary does not know then you might want to follow up with the Payee Representative and ask Also if you think someone has falsely reported that they are blind when you see them driving around town you might want to clarify with the individual whether or not they claim to be legally blind 5 Gather evidence If you are reasonably sure that someone is committing Social Security fraud then you should try to document the fraud as best as you can Write down the reasons why you think fraud has been committed What have you seen heard or been told that makes you suspicious If someone is buying or selling fraudulent Social Security cards document how much the cards cost and how payment is made Also write down how individuals contact the seller If you think an SSA employee has committed a crime then hold onto copies of any paperwork that supports your suspicion such as emails internal memos or handwritten notes If you think the death of a beneficiary has not been reported to SSA then you should clip out any obituary from the newspaper or print off the obituary from the web 6 Understand whistleblower protection If you are a federal employee and seek to expose fraud waste or abuse in SSA you should realize that you are protected by whistleblower laws Under these laws SSA can not retaliate against you solely because you submitted an allegation of fraud waste or abuse Part 2 Reporting the Fraud 1 Report online You can submit a report at

conducts if you choose anonymity Know that if you choose not to remain anonymous you can still ask SSA to keep your name confidential If you do so the office will protect your identity unless required

How to Scare People Author Info In this Article Article Summary Planning a Quick Jump Scare Looking Scary Making a Haunted House Telling a Scary Story Community QA Scaring people is an art Whether you want to scare your enemy in a dark parking lot or create an epic haunted house that people will talk about for decades truly scaring people is hard work Though it will take time and persistence to truly scare your victim the sheer terror in his eyes will make you see that youre planning was well worth it Whether you want to scare a friend with jumps costumes haunted houses or scary stories weve got you covered Method 1 Planning a Quick Jump Scare 1 Make yourself look creepy Popping out and scaring someone can come off as goofy if you just look like yourself but if youre dressed all in black with your face covered in fake blood and creepy clown makeup youll be scary If you know your target well you can exploit their biggest fear by dressing up as whatever will scare that person the most whether its the dentist a giant spider or a ghost Though the quick scare will still be effective if you just look like your regular self you will frighten your victim at a whole new level if you dress up as someone scary For more specific costume suggestions skip to the next section for tips 2 Wait until your friend is alone Being in a group helps to bolster your bravery so itll be easier if you wait to freak someone out until theyre alone The fright will be much stronger and more real There are a variety of ways to make this happen but here are some easy ones Text your friend to meet you somewhere at a specific time but have your creepy surprise waiting for them instead This will give you the chance to set up beforehand Wait until you know your friend or sibling will be alone and distracted Alone in their room playing video games or focusing hard on homework Perfect If you want to scare your sibling set up your frightening scene while theyre asleep and let them wake up to it Super terrifying 3 Find a good hiding place The best scares combine a moment of your victim thinking Wait a minute that looks creepy right before you pop out screaming to terrify them Wherever youre planning your scare and whatever it will include its a good idea to hide somewhere and wait for your opportunity to jump out and add a lastminute scare Good hiding places include Under beds Behind doors Behind trees or cars Under staircases In the dark basement In the attic In plain sight but in the dark 4 Add some creepy props Find out what gives your friend nightmares and use it to your advantage This will vary depending on your friend and what scares them the most but its a good idea to do a little digging and find out what will freak them out the most Think about the following little freaky props Fake snakes wetted with Vaseline to look really creepy Rusty knives Fake blood Raw meat Worms or cockroaches Static noise on television or radio Broken baby dolls 5 Scream and howl like a maniac After you set your trap let your victim walk into it and let it spring into action Scream growl grab the persons arms and laugh maniacally while enjoying the persons sheer terror Then run off into the night all the while cackling with your head thrown back You can hide in the distance to watch complete fear overwhelm your victim until he realizes he has been fooled Alternatively you can also leave a recording of creepy noises to startle your friend instead Set up an old boombox to play a recording of you coughing and wheezing creepily timed to set off when they walk in When your victim is thoroughly frightened its a good idea to start backing off You dont want to freak them out too much or risk getting the cops called Once they scream once you got your fun and now know when to call it quits Method 2 Looking Scary 1 Make yourself look dead Everyones scared of dead people Theyre dead Thats scary If you want to exploit this fear you can learn to make yourself look like a zombie using basic makeup and safe products Try out the following tactic Wash your face thoroughly then apply some really pale foundation make up all over your face You could also use some baby powder to dust your face gently and make it appear paler The pallor of death Use dark blue or black eye shadow under your eyes to give them that sunken fresh out of the grave look Blend it gently to make it look more natural Nice Make up some fake blood using food coloring and corn syrup then draw a fake wound on your body somewhere visible with marker and bloody it up with the fake blood 2 Dress up like a creepy surgeon For lots of us the blood will curdle at the thought of visiting a deranged surgeon or dentist Its time to have some fun with this fear Dress up in rubber gloves some blue scrubs and cover your mouth like a real surgeon so only your eyes are exposed You can get most of these things at most drug stores You can even go all out and get some surgical equipment to make it as realistic as possible or at least your dads power drill from the garage Unplug it of course Splatter some ketchup or fake blood all over your scrubs and carry a knife and fork Youll look super creepy 3 Go with a classic monster costume The classics are classics for a reason Theyre scary Dress up as a zombie vampire ghost or mummy You could also invent your own monster costume and be even more unique Look to famous horrormovie characters like Michael Myers Jason Freddy Krueger or Ghost Face from Scream and see if you can get your hands on a realistic looking mask Wearing a mask over your regular clothes can look somewhat creepy but if youre wearing what you wore to school that day itll probably be a quick tip that its you 4 Dont dress up at all but act creepy If you dont have the time or energy to put together a creepy costume you can use your acting skills to make up for it It can be even creepier if you look the same but seem off in some scary way Try out the following Just sit in a dark room with the TV blasting static rocking back and forth mumbling the sentence They told me this would happen over and over When your friend starts looking concerned scream at the top of your lungs Walk into your siblings room in the middle of the night and just stand over their bed with your mouth open drooling fake blood and breathing raggedly Stand facing the corner in a dark room Do nothing When you turn around have fake blood all over your face Method 3 Making a Haunted House 1 Pick a venue While it takes more time and work creating a scary environment such as a haunted house will build a lingering dread in peoples hearts and minds while they expect the worst to happen at any moment When creating a haunted house or other spooky scene location is key A house or structure with scary elementslike narrow hallways squeaky steps or dark basementsis a good place to start Make a map for yourself Make sure people can easily move from room to room without difficulty 2 Pick a theme A theme will help you decide how to decorate and what elements to include For true authenticity come up with a story for why the house is haunted Is it haunted by an old lady whose husband disappeared into thin air Is it haunted by a family that was brutally murdered in the basement Make it at least a little bit believable Abandoned insane asylum Torture chamber Vampires lair Zombie invasion Evil scientists lab 3 Get some friends to help Creating a haunting house on your own can be a challenge Instead have your trusted friends dress up as eerie characters and help you decorate the house and spook the guests as they walk through the house They can leap out at people hide in closets or spring out of fake coffins You can station some guests on the porch having them play dead until the guests get close enough Then they can jump out at your guests scaring them before they even set foot in the house 4 Decorate accordingly Create spaces that build tension which is essential for a good scare A long dark hallway that must be followed will have people expecting the worst at any moment People who are tense and anxious are easier to scare Each room should have its own spooky theme so your guests are always on their toes and never know what to expect Station a volunteer in each room to help create the spooky environment and direct the guests Each room can have differently creepy effects such as a bowl of cold noodles meant to be worms or a jar of peeled grapes that are supposed to be eyeballs Create specimen jars by placing broken toys or bent utensils in cloudy water that is dyed green 5 Create scary sound effects Sound effects can go a long way in completely scaring a person out of his wits There are a few things you can do to truly scare your guests with just a few key sounds Here are some things to try Have your volunteers scamper from one side of an empty room to the other wearing heavy boots Place a few coins in an empty soda can and tie it to a string Have your volunteers shake the can to create a rattling sound Play a recording of spooky sounds in every room from the sound of a woman screaming wind wildly blowing or the sounds of chainsaw Make the most of silence Make the house absolutely silent from time to time so the fear factor goes up during the next spooky sound 6 Create spooky lighting The lighting can also go a long way in scaring the living day lights out of people You can build areas of complete darkness incorporate disorienting strobe lights into one room or pump in fog in front of a light for an eerie effect all of which will confuse a persons senses and make him more susceptible to scares Here are some other ways to create spooky lighting Designate a hallway where the guests have to wear blindfolds just make sure theyre comfortable with this Light a spotlight under fake creepy insects or a spiderweb to create a spooky shadow on the wall Drape black plastic bags around the furniture to catch a little bit of eerie light 7 Commit to the mood Always stay in character in the haunted house to maintain the illusion Dont stop and say hi to your friends Keep the haunted house completely scary and believable Dont break character not even when you escort your guests out of the house Later when the guests tell you they had a great time at your haunted house act like you have no idea what theyre talking about Method 4 Telling a Scary Story 1 Concoct a premise Whether youre making a movie writing a horror novel or just telling a story a solid premise is key Whether its caused by a spider or a dark room with a sense of dread fear lives in the brain Horror movies suspense novels or scary campfire stories are all good ways to give people a fright Watch a scare movie or read a spooky tale for inspiration Dont just create your story on the spot Though you can surely improvise its important to have your story set before you begin If you hesitate while youre telling the story then you will lose your audience 2 Say its a true story Even if your story is wildly untrue just say its a true story that it happened in your town many years ago that it happened to your cousin or that you actually saw it happen Saying something is actually true will get people to pay attention and will make your story sound more probable You can even tell people that its so secret that you cant even read about it online Say you read about it on microfilm at the local library Tell people they can do the same to confirm that the story is true obviously no one would do that but itll lend more credibility to your tale Before you jump into the story you can ask Are you sure you want to hear this Act like the story is so scary that you dont know if you should proceed 3 Build suspense From the long walk up the attic stairs to the slow opening of a door a good scare needs to be built up and anticipated Dont just give it all away or your audience wont be interested Build anticipation by acting like youre telling a normal story and let the creepy details slowly make their way into the story Keep your readers on their toes by saying things like But thats nothing compared to what happened later Or She thought that was the worst pain in the world but that was only the beginning Talk slowly and carefully Dont just rush to the scariest parts of the story Make every word count 4 Use visual aids Show people your appendectomy scar and say it was where you were stabbed by the killer in question Bring some old grainy photos of your grandparents and say theyre pictures of the victims If youve brought any other visual aids just pass them around casually like you always keep them with you The fake bloodstained clothes of the victim are also a nice touch You can even use something ordinary like the baseball card collection of a little boy who disappeared 5 Create spooky sound effects The effects can be simple If youre talking about something knocking on a door in the middle of the night knock on the floor Have a friend help out by creating other spooky sounds like a creaking opened door raindrops falling on the ceiling or the wind blowing through the trees You can also crumple a plastic bag which creates a great rustling effect 6 Embellish the details Just like the spooky atmosphere of a haunted house the details of a scary story help set the scene Describe the sounds of the abandoned warehouse or show the decaying teeth of the murderous clown The more specific your scary story is the better For example a man whose hand was severed is scary enough but a man with a severed hand whose veins leave a trail of blood wherever he walks is even more frightening Ground the story in history If it was before World War II casually mention who the president was or bring up a detail from that period to make the story sound more realistic 7 Keep it surprising Dont reveal the ordinary details that people would expect to hear in any scary story Sure everyone has heard the story of a ghost who haunts the woods late at night but how about the story of a ghost who makes people eat their own eyeballs or a ghost who inhabits the body of a little girls pet rabbit 8 Tease the ending When the story gets really scary slow down or even clam up like you cant bear to finish the story Take a deep breath and wait for people to ask what happened next Finally make your voice absolutely calm as you reveal the gruesome ending The spookiest endings are unresolved Dont solve the mystery Leave your audience to wonder if the ghost or scary person in question is still alive maybe even wandering in the woods nearby When the storys over go absolutely silent like you were so overwhelmed by the ending that you cant possibly go on Community QA Question How can I scare someone that I

How to Sell Paintings Coauthored by wikiHow Staff ReaderApproved 23 References In this Article Article Summary Creating a Brand Online Selling at Fairs and Conventions Exhibiting in Stores and Galleries Community QA 23 References Millions of people have paintings decorating the walls of their homes If youre a painter youre probably eager to share your artwork with the world One of the best ways to do this is to sell it yourself Marketing your own work takes a lot of effort but its very rewarding Finishing your paintings and creating a consistent body of work is a good start but you have to be willing to follow up by creating a personal brand and approaching buyers as much as they approach you By staying professional and cultivating a presence you can sell your paintings Method 1 Creating a Brand Online 1 Build a social media presence Youre probably already on at least one social media website Furthermore you have a basic idea about how they work Social media can be used to make connections with others and display things you find beautiful These qualities also make social media an excellent way to launch your career Here are a few different websites you should consider usingthey all work a little differently so try more than one Facebook is a good way to stay connected to a wide demographic of fans Make a fan page separate from your personal account and use it to talk about upcoming events and new pieces Instagram is populated by a younger demographic Because its so imagedriven its great to show off sketches worksinprogress and finished commissions Twitter requires pithiness but its surprisingly useful Leverage your 140character tweets to promote shows and connect with other artists Tumblr allows you to post complete works and is also a great way to build relationships with other artists since a good Tumblr is comprised of a mix of original content and artwork you find beautiful 2 Start by selling through a thirdparty website Many artists start out their online sales not through a private page but through an established website that features lots of upandcoming artists There are a few advantages to this you dont have to know how to code to get started and many new buyers feel more comfortable shopping through a website with buyer protections in place Here are a few wellknown art vendors online Artsy has been around for a while and encompasses a broad range of style If you have a particularly homespun or cute aesthetic to your work Etsy is great Spreesy is a newer site that dovetails well with an Instagram presence 3 Price your work fairly It can be really hard to figure out how to price your work many new artists end up undercharging which is simply not sustainable Dont sell yourself shortpick a pricing scheme for your pieces and stick to it Consistency is key And if youre worried that youre overcharging a tiny bit for the pieces that you sell thats often a sign that youre charging about the right amount You can start by charging by the hourfor instance if a painting took you ten hours to complete you can value your time at 15hour and charge 150 for it You can also charge by the linear inch for instance if a painting is 20 by 30 inches and you charge 050 per linear inch the total cost would be 300 Dont forget to factor in the cost of materials Include finishing touches like frames in this calculation 4 Take commissions If youve been building up an online presence and presenting a consistent artistic vision to your fans someone will probably ask you for a custom work sooner or later This is really exciting Dont get overwhelmed by the process of working with another persons vision but ask plenty of questions and offer frequent updates Make sure to send your portfolio to someone who inquires about a comissionthey should feel like your style is a good match if youre going to work together For consistencys sake price commissions similarly to other paintings of the same size materials and time commitment Ask for a deposit of 25 or so before you begin the piece This will protect you in case the buyer doesnt like the finished product In the unlikely event that the buyer refuses the painting you can keep it and sell it to someone else later 5 Pack carefully Once youve made a sale online youll have to ship out your work Wrapping the painting in multiple layers of both hard and soft materials should keep it safe in transit so that it gets to your customer as pristine as it left you Start by wrapping the painting in palette wrap an art supply that looks like plastic wrap Start by holding the wrap in the back then pull it around to the front and then to the back again Align the long edge of the painting with a large piece of cardboard and mark where the short sides rest Now flip over the painting along the long edge so that its in the middle of the cardboard Cut along the long edge so that you have a big cardboard rectangle Wrap this around the painting and secure it with packing tape Cover the cardboardwrapped painting in one or two layers of bubble wrap Secure the bubble wrap with packing tape Place the bubblewrapped painting in a nice big box then fill in gaps in the box with bubble wrap or packing peanuts Finish off by neatly addressing the box and decorating it with a few Fragile stickers 6 Consider creating your own website If youve been in the online game for a while it may be time to take your sales to your own private webpage This is a big step and one perhaps best taken if you already have a solid customer base but having your sales and portfolio all bound up under one domain name is professional and elegant You can use basic coding knowledge to make your website Using a template service like Squarespace or Weebly also works if you dont code Consider adding a blog to your website This allows for longerform thought than social media does and can also be used to draw attention to upcoming events Dont forget to link to your social media and vendors Method 2 Selling at Fairs and Conventions 1 Start local Fairs and conventions can be a great way to connect with new people and sell your artwork but they can also be expensive Theres the cost of your booth itself along with travel expenses and time off of your day job if you have one Try to sell first at events close to your home until you have a good grasp on what you need to do to succeed at a convention 2 Apply early and with care Many conventions start booking their booths nearly a year in advance youll want to stay on top of deadlines for your chosen events and apply as early as possible Most conventions have a set application including a portfolio and an artists statementthis will help the organizers determine if youre a good fit in genre and style However its just as important to know if the convention is a good fit for you Before you apply find out the answers to some of these important questions How much space is each booth allowed Is a chair included Will there be an outlet nearby Is the space accessible especially if you have any mobility considerations 3 Be professional When you go to a fair or convention youre not just there to hang out youre there to promote your artwork and your brand Be kind to everyone from guests to fellow artists to staff dont let your art spill over onto other peoples tables and clean up after yourself Pack the artwork you bring carefully and make sure to have extra packing supplies Bring business cards toothis way even if someone isnt able to buy a painting today they can refer back to you later Pay for your booth or table at the convention on time otherwise your spot may go to someone else 4 Bring decorations to go with your paintings Your paintings are what will hold most peoples attention but youll need to catch their interest first Decorate your booth in a way that matches your aesthetic and corresponds to your paintings to draw the eyes of potential customers Consider setting out small objects that correspond to your subjects for instance shells if you like painting seascapes Bring a nice solidcolored tablecloth to make an even professionallooking workspace A standing banner with your name an art sample and contact information on it can go almost anywhere and commands attention without being too obnoxious 5 Be engaging Now that youre all set up be friendly with the people who come by your table Smile and say hi to browsers and try to master the art of engaging in conversation without being too pushy You can even consider doing quick commissions like sketches or watercolors for interested buyers If you dont know what to say when someone is looking at your work a smile and a simple Hi there or Hello works wonders Its easy to engage with buyers with sincere compliments I love your shoes as well Method 3 Exhibiting in Stores and Galleries 1 Use your network Your professional network is probably bigger than you think it is and many of the most fruitful business relationships have sprung from personal friendships and connections If youre looking to sell art in a brickandmortar shop or gallery reach out to people you know who might be able to help Introduce yourself provide samples of your recent work and ask for what you need You can network in person over the phone or over email Just be polite If youre reaching out to your mothers old classmate say Hi Judy my mother told me a lot about your time together in college Im reaching out because shes mentioned your gallery before and I think it might be a good fit with my work Heres a link to my portfolio and website Thank you so much for your time Check in with old teachers and professors toothey often have resources that could help you Say Im looking into pushing my career into a more professional stage and I think exhibiting in a gallery could be the next step Do you know of any places close by that specialize in young or emerging artists 2 Do a portfolio review If you can afford it a portfolio review can help you both focus your art and sell it better Generally this involves paying a fee to a jury all the members of whom will sit down with you and talk to you abut the coherence of your work and its marketability This is a step to consider if you really want to take your painting business to the next level Be polite to the folks giving you feedback The art world is small and you never know when youre going to run into them again Dont get too bogged down by criticism No artist meets with universal acclaim so just concentrate on improving by applying constructive criticism to your work 3 Consider consignment Look for stores or boutiques in your area who you think would want to carry your items and reach out to ask if they might carry on consignment this way you pay them a portion of the profits if the item is sold Consignment is excellent for three main reasons you get publicity you dont pay anything up front and you dont pay rent on the building where they are selling your items 4 Submit to galleries The last way to sell your paintings is arguably the one with the most professional appeal through a gallery A gallery is almost like a museum in that its carefully curated and professionally staffed by art experts except that the art on its walls is for sale Apply widelyjust like if you were applying for a job you probably wont hear back from every one but each contact is valuable When submitting to a gallery stick to the submission process it follows You can find this information on the gallerys website but youll often be asked for samples and a statement especially if the gallery has a theme Submit groups of artwork with coherent ties to one another For instance you could submit a series or several paintings you did at different times that all allude to Aztec mythology Community QA Question Are landscape paintings still as popular as they ever were despite landscape photography and landscape computer art wikiHow Contributor Community

How to Set Up International Mail Forwarding Services Coauthored by wikiHow Staff 16 References In this Article Choosing a Service Enrolling with a Service Getting Your Mail Forwarded Community QA 16 References Mail forwarding services allow you to purchase goods in the US for delivery anywhere in the world This can be a valuable service for expatriates living abroad students studying overseas or for anyone doing prolonged international travel There are many international mail forwarding services Before you set up your service you may want to look into the available options and choose the service that best matches your needs Part 1 Choosing a Service 1 Assess your needs There are many options when it comes to mail forwarding services Each company offers the same basic services but there are often customizable factors that might make one service plan preferable over another Many companies offer package tracking though the tracking options may be limited to the country of origin or the country where youll be receiving your package Most services will forward letters and correspondences However some services will also forward packages magazines and bulk mail while others will not 2 Research the costs Cost may be the most prohibitive factor for some people setting up a forwarding service If you plan on receiving a high volume of mailpackages you may want to opt for an annual delivery plan which could save you money over paying per shipment Look at the service plans base rates cubicdimensional weight rates and extra cover charges For highfrequency deliveries and other perks you can expect to pay a high fee Some service plans cost hundreds of dollars per year while others may be somewhat cheaper depending on your delivery needs If you only get mail on an infrequent or irregular basis paying for an international mail forwarding service may not be worth the cost If youre unsure about potential hidden costs its best to contact a representative from the forwarding service and ask for a linebyline breakdown of your anticipated costs 3 The frequency with which you receive your packages and the turnaround time on deliveries may be a determining factor for some users Depending on your chosen service you may have the option of receiving forwarded mail weekly biweekly monthly on request or on a customizable schedule In addition to the options on how often to have your mail sent some services also allow you to have your mail held for a period usually up to 30 days so that you can have it sent in one bulk delivery 4 Look at user reviews One good way to determine a services effectiveness is to compare user reviews online Try searching for the services name and reviews in a web search or look for online compendiums that compare and contrast multiple services Part 2 Enrolling with a Service 1 Sign a user agreement Depending on the service you enroll with you may have to sign a rental agreement a forwarding agreement or both This is usually done at the time of enrollment but you may need to sign a followup agreement if you make any changes to your account Part of your user agreement may involve selecting the delivery method youd like For example you may have the option of choosing USPS First Class Mail USPS Priority Mail or FedEx 2 Complete and submit USPS Form 1583 US Postal Service Form 1583 the Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent is required to set up most international mail forwarding services This form authorizes the US Post Office to transfer your deliveries to the address you provide them with In order to submit Form 1583 you will need to provide a Postal Service employee with two valid forms of ID One form of ID must display your photograph like a drivers license or passport Social Security cards creditdebit cards and birth certificates are all considered unacceptable forms of ID You may need to provide a notarized copy of your completed USPS Form 1583 to the service you choose to enroll with 3 Provide your forwarding address When you enroll with a mail forwarding service you will be given a street address based in the US However youll need to let the forwarding service know what address you can actually receive your mail at in the country you inhabit This is typically done as part of the enrollment process but if you travel frequently you may need to update the address so that you wont miss your packages Some services let you update your delivery address as often as you need to while others may impose restrictions or additional fees Contact a representative from your chosen forwarding service to find out what your options are Part 3 Getting Your Mail Forwarded 1 Calculate the cost There are typically recurring fees associated with mail forwarding services How much those fees charge will vary depending on your chosen service and forwarding plan However there may also be onetime fees associated with setting up your account or receiving your mail Most forwarding services charge a fee which may be charged on a monthly or an annual basis There may also be a perpackage fee in addition to the monthly or annual charges This may be a flat rate or a calculated cost depending on the service you use If you have to pay by cubicdimensional weight youll need to calculate what you owe To determine the cubic weight of a package multiply the packages height times its length times its width then divide by 5000 2 Make any necessary Customs declarations Depending on where you are receiving your mail and what types of packages you receive you may be required to make a Customs declaration This may be required by US Customs or by the Customs agency in your country of occupancy Remember that different countries have different Customs laws Some are more lax while others may be more restrictive If shipping from the US to Australia for example you wont need to file a Customs declaration if the order is below 2500 US Dollars USD Each country you forward mail to has its own customs requirements You can find out your countrys requirements by consulting the US Postal Services online guide to international mail 3 Receive your mail How frequently you receive mail will depend on the service you enroll with and the specific plan you enroll in Some services will bundle and ship mail the day it is received Others will ship your mail the next day Still others bundle your mail for a week and then send you the package at the end of each week Tips Remember to factor exchange rates when determining your costs You can find exchange rate calculators online by searching for the currencies you need to work between Take advantage of savings offered through consolidation If you can afford to hold off on a shipment or two and have them bundled together this could potentially save you a lot of money Warnings Anyone willing to alter the values of your shipments or the fees youll incur are probably operating outside the law Do not get involved in any illegal operations as these could have significant legal repercussions Things Youll Need USPS 1583 form A government ID with a picture An ID with your name and address A creditdebit card or ability to wire money References httpswwwincorporatecommail_forwardinghtml httpwwwcnetcomaunewsonlineshoppingpackageforwardingfromtheustoaustralia

How to Simplify Complex Numbers Coauthored by wikiHow Staff 11 References In this Article Adding or Subtracting Complex Numbers Multiplying Complex Numbers Dividing Complex Numbers Community QA 11 References A complex number is a number that combines a real portion with an imaginary portion Imaginary is the term used for the square root of a negative number specifically using the notation A complex number then is made of a real number and some multiple of i Some sample complex numbers are 32i 4i or 185i Complex numbers as any other numbers can be added subtracted multiplied or divided and then those expressions can be simplified You need to apply special rules to simplify these expressions with complex numbers Method 1 Adding or Subtracting Complex Numbers 1 Add the real portions together Recognize that addition and subtraction are really the same process Subtraction is nothing more than adding a negative number Therefore addition and subtraction are treated as versions of the same process To add two or more complex numbers first just add the real portions of the numbers together For example to simplify the sum of abi and cdi first identify that a and c are the real number portions and add them together Symbolically this will be ac Using actual numbers instead of variables consider the example of 33i 52i The real portion of the first number is 3 and the real portion of the second complex number is 5 Add these together to get 358 The real portion of the simplified complex number will be 8 2 Add the imaginary portions together In a separate operation identify the imaginary portions of each complex number and add them together For the algebraic example of abi plus cdi the imaginary portions are b and d Adding these together algebraically gives the result bdi Using the numerical example of 33i 52i the imaginary portions of the two complex numbers are 3i and 2i Adding these gives the result of 1i which can also be written just as i 3 Combine the two parts to form the simplified answer To find the final simplified version of the sum put the real part and the imaginary part back together The result is the simplified sum of the complex numbers The sum of abi and cdi is written as ac bdi Applying the numerical example the sum of 33i 52i is 8i Method 2 Multiplying Complex Numbers 1 Remember the FOIL rule Looking at a complex number abi should remind you of binomials from Algebra or Algebra 2 Remember that to multiply binomials you need to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second A shorthand version for doing this is the FOIL rule which stands for First Outer Inner Last For an example of abcd apply this rule as follows First The F in FOIL means that you multiply the first term of the first binomial by the first term of the second binomial For the sample this would be ac Outer The O in FOIL tells you to multiply the outer terms These are the first term of the first binomial and the second term of the second binomial For the sample this would be ad Inner The I in FOIL means to multiply the inner terms These would be the two terms that appear in the middle which are the second term of the first binomial and the first term of the second binomial In the given example the inner terms are bc Last The L in FOIL represents the last terms of each binomial For the sample expression this would be bd Finally add all four products together The result for the sample binomial multiplication of abcd is acadbcbd 2 Apply the FOIL rule to complex number multiplication To multiply two complex numbers set them up as the product of two binomials and apply the FOIL rule For example the product of the two complex numbers 32i53i works as follows First The product of the first terms is 3515 Outer The product of the outer terms is 33i This product is 9i Inner The product of the two inner terms is 2i5 This product is 10i Last The product of the last terms is 2i3i This product is 6i 2 Recognize that i 2 equals 1 so the value of 6i 2 is 61 which is 6 3 Combine the terms After applying the FOIL rule and finding the four independent products combine them together to find the result of the multiplication For the sample 32i53i the parts combine to give 159i10i6 4 Simplify by combining like terms The result of the FOIL rule multiplication should yield two real number terms and two imaginary number terms Simplify the result by combining like terms together For the sample 159i10i6 you can add the 15 and 6 together and add the 9i and the 10i together The result will be 21i 5 Work through one more example Find the product of the two complex numbers 34i25i The steps for this multiplication are 326 First 35i15i Outer 4i28i Inner 4i5i20i 2 20120 Lasts 615i8i20 1423i Combine terms and simplify Method 3 Dividing Complex Numbers 1 Write the division of two complex numbers as a fraction When you want to divide two complex numbers set up the problem as a fraction For example to find the quotient of 43i divided by 22i set up the problem as follows 2 Find the conjugate of the denominator The conjugate of a complex number is a useful tool It is simply created by changing the sign in the middle of the complex number Thus the conjugate of abi is abi The conjugate of 23i is 23i 3 Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator Whenever you multiply by a fraction whose numerator and denominator are identical the value is just 1 This is a useful tool for simplifying complex numbers particularly for division problems Thus set up the example as follows Then multiply the numerator and denominator and simplify as follows Notice in the second step above the denominator contains the terms and These will cancel each other out This will always happen as a result of multiplying by the conjugate The imaginary terms of the denominator should always cancel and disappear 4 Return to complex number format Recognize that the single denominator applies equally to both portions of the numerator Split the numerator apart to create a standard complex number Community QA Question What if theres only 1 number for the denominator when it comes to complex numbers For example 8 3i2i What would the conjugate be for the denominator Technist Community Answer Here your denominator has a real number of 0 and a complex number of 2 So what youre really seeing is 83i02i So the conjugate would be 02i or simply 2i You multiply with that and it cancels out the i in the denominator Not Helpful 0 Submit

How to Speak With an Irish Accent Author Info | 10 References Explore this Article Sounding out Vowels and Consonants Mastering Style , Grammar , and Vocabulary Doing Your Research Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles Learning an accent can come in handy for many different occasions . Master the Irish accent , bewilder your coworkers and friends with your emerald flair , and put some of those Hollywood stars to shame . This should sound like a typical Dublin accent if you are doing it right . Method 1 Sounding out Vowels and Consonants 1 Soften your vowels . Many people , especially Americans , tend to harden their vowels . For example , Americans pronounce the letter A , " ay " ; those with an Irish accent would pronounce it " ah " or " aw . " Be very conscious of this in every word , but especially those vowels that come in the middle . The standard , " How are you ? " should be pronounced , " Ha - ware - ya ? " The " au " ( in " how " ) and " oo " ( in " you " ) of the Generalized American accent are not differentiated between . The sound in " night , " " like , " and " I , " is pronounced similar to " oi , " as in " oil . " Think of " Ireland " as " Oireland . " While very similar to " oi , " it ' s not the exact same . Turn the ' o ' into more of a schwa . The diphthong does not exist in American English and is similar to a compounded , " Uh , I . . . " The schwa sound ( the sound of a caveman grunt ) , as in " strut , " varies from dialect to dialect . In the Local accent , the vowel sounds more like " foot , " and in the New Dublin accent ( popular among youth ) , it sounds more like " bit . " The epsilon ( as in " end " ) is pronounced like the vowel in " ash . " " Any " becomes " Annie . " There are many different Irish dialects with numerous slight variations . Certain rules may not apply to certain dialects . 2 Harden your consonants . As a general rule , Americans have gotten lazy in their speech . " Ladder " and " latter " are pronounced the same in the US , but not to an Irishman . Give each consonant its due ( with the exception of the next rule ! ) . As a beginning sound , / d / often sounds like / d͡ʒ / or the sound that a J makes in most variants of English . That is , " due " will sound like " Jew . " As its unvoiced partner , " t " becomes " ch . " " Tube " sounds like " choob . " There is a distinction between words like " wine " and " whine . " Words with " wh " begin with an initial " h " sound ; try expelling a bit of breath before the word - - the result should be something akin to " hwine . " Some Irish accents turn " think " and " that " into " tink " and " dat , " respectively . Try " trowing " it into your speech sporadically . 3 Drop your G ' s . English is full of words that end in - ing , but you would n ' t hear an Irishman admitting it , at least not in a natural context . Whether you ' re muttering verbs or gerunds , cut it out . " Morning " becomes " mornin . " " Walking " becomes " walkin , " and so on and so forth . This stays true in all contexts . In Local Dublin , a poorer dialect , final sounds are eliminated entirely : " sound " becomes " soun , " for example . 4 Be very rhotic . For most American English speakers , this is not a problem . But if your dialect is non - rhotic ( drops word - final or inter - vocalic R ; " park " sounds like " pack " ) , be conscious of pronouncing every " r " - - be it beginning , middle , or end . Speakers of both American and British English will need to put their ' r ' more forward in their mouths than they are used to . Experiment placing your tongue further forward and higher in your mouth while saying words with an ' r ' in the middle or end . Score 0 3 Method 1 Quiz How do you pronounce the " I " in the word " night " with an Irish accent ? Method 2 Mastering Style , Grammar , and Vocabulary Speak quickly but clearly . An Irishman will not be caught saying , " coulda , woulda , shoulda . " Each sound ( unless dropped via a phonemic process ) should be given attention . Your tongue and lips will be getting a workout . If you do have pauses , use " em " to fill them . Stay away from " uh " or " um " ; " em " should be your filler . If you can throw this in naturally and without thinking , your Irishness will be upped ten - fold . It ' s used all the time - - so when you ' re thinking of how to pronounce something , you know how to fill the silence . Repeat the verb in yes / no questions . Often yes / no questions are straightforward and to the point - - as a result , we answer " yes " or " no . " Seems pretty logical , right ? Nope . That ' s not how it works in the land of Saints and Scholars . When asked , repeat the noun and verb . For example , " Are you going to Jane ' s party tonight ? " - - " I am . " " Does Ireland have unicorns ? " - - " It does n ' t . " Use the ' after ' construction . The after perfect ( AFP ) , which is one of the most characteristic features of Irish English , has given rise to a certain amount of debate and a great deal of confusion . It is used to denote recency in two situations : In between the two verbs of the past continuous ( again , denotes a recent action ) : ' Why did you go to the shop ? ' - - " I was after running - out of potatoes . " ( Do not confuse it with the English use of " seeking " or " searching for " . You are not " after buying potatoes " - otherwise you would n ' t be going to the shop ) . In between the two verbs of the present continuous ( used as an exclamation ) : " I ' m after performing on the West End ! " 4 Utilize idioms and colloquialisms . The Irish accent is full of words and phrases unfamiliar to other dialects of English . No one else may know what you ' re talking about , but sacrifices must be made to be authentic . Soon you ' ll be cod acting like a bucklepper ! Cheers : Not only is this used while clinking glasses , it ' s used in normal conversation , and consistently . It can be used to thank people and to say hello and goodbye . Work it in often ; the Irish certainly do . Lad : This term describes any male , though usually it ' s reserved for ones you ' re closer to . " Lads " can refer to a group of males and females , for the record . C ' mere : Literally , this is the same in any other dialect - - " come here . " But in Irish English , it ' s an opener that means , " listen " or even just " hey , " to grab your attention . To begin any innocuous sentence , start it with " C ' mere . " Right : This sort of serves as an alternative to " c ' mere . " It ' s multi - purpose and mainly serves to clarify . As in , " Right , we ' re meeting at 7 o ' clock by the watch tower then ? " Most British colloquialisms are also acceptable . Avoid " Top of the mornin ' to ya ! " and " Blarney ! " unless you want to be that guy 5 Think lyrically . The Irish accent is generally thought of as more ' musical ' than American English . It has a definite lilt to it that is n ' t seen in other variations of the Lingua Franca . Practice phrases a bit more ' sing - songy ' than you would in your native dialect . A good place to start is slightly higher than your natural tone . Get a little lower in the middle of the phrase , and then move back up slightly . 6 Irishmen use some words that are unfamiliar to most Americans . Runners : Runners usually refers to Jogging shoes , or Tennis Shoes . Jumper : Jumper is really plain and simple ; a sweater . Yoke : This one is kind of confusing . Yoke is like when you are trying to say what something is , but you do n ' t know the word for it . ex . : " You know the yoke that you use to clean the dust off the stand ? " It kind of means something like Thingamajig , or Thingamabob . However it also is a colloquialism for Ecstasy tablets . Boot : This simply refers to the trunk of a car . " Put the food in the boot . " Footpath : A sidewalk . Ride : A very attractive person of either sex . Gum Boil / Mouth Ulcer : A canker sore . Score 0 Method 2 Quiz Which of these examples uses the after perfect in the correct Irish English way ? Doing Your Research Listen to Irish accents . Look on YouTube and watch movies and interviews for good examples of what you ' re trying to emulate . However , beware of impersonators out there - - and there are plenty . Brad Pitt , Richard Gere , and Tom Cruise are not good examples . Stick to true native speakers ; RTÉ is a safe place to start . It is important to note that the northern counties have a quite different accent [ look up the Ulster dialect ] . Visit Ireland . In the same respect you never truly master a foreign language if you do n ' t live in the country , you will never master an accent if you do n ' t live among the people . If you go for vacation , do your best to feel out the local flavor . Go to small restaurants and listen to those around you . Make small talk with the vendors on the streets . Hire a native tour guide to show you around . Make your exposure as 24 / 7 as possible . Buy a book . Just as there are American and British English dictionaries , there are Irish dictionaries , too . What ' s more , resources abound when it comes to sources on colloquialisms and idiosyncrasies of the accent . Invest your time and money into this endeavor if you truly want your accent to shine . If a dictionary seems a bit much and would just rest on your shelf gathering dust , buy a phrase book . The idioms and figures of speech will help you get into the emerald zone . Gawking is also used instead of staring , for example , She stood there gawking at the new car . But it would be pronounced as gaw - kin the g is mainly silent . Community Q&A Question Who are some YouTubers I can watch often to pick up an Irish accent ? Community Answer Jacksepticeye is by far the best ; after only months of binge - watching his videos , I could imitate his accent . He is rather flamboyant and loud , and rather exaggerated at times ( especially his intro ; he says , " Top o ' the mornin ' to ya , laddies " as an exaggeration to make sure people notice he ' s Irish right off the bat ) , but true Irish quality . Daithi de Nogla is another good Irish YouTuber , but his accent varies greatly and may not be identified as Irish by Not Helpful 14 Helpful 169 Question How can I perfect my accent ? Community Answer Practice always helps . You can also try to exaggerate your a ' s and e ' s , like car is caur . Not Helpful 12 Helpful 57 Is It supposed to sound like a New York accent when you try it ? Not really . An Irish accent is not like any other accent in the world , that ' s why it is one of the hardest ones to learn . 25 102 I am Irish but I do n ' t sound like it at all . Any tips ? If you live among Americans or people of other accents , yours might fade out . Try hanging around more Irish people , and the accent is bound to come out . 16 69 Are there any phrases that I should avoid , either from common American slang , etc . ? Definitely avoid " top of the mornin ' to ya . Nobody in Ireland actually says that . 23 90 What people can I listen to to improve my Irish accent ? Cillian Murphy , Robert Emms , and Jason Flemyng are some . Cillian Murphy is definitely your best bet though . His Irish accent is probably the easiest to imitate . 21 71 Do you have any tips on learning an accent faster than normal ? Get just few phrases and repeat endlessly to yourself . For example : If trying an Ulster accent , try a take on the " How , Now , Brown , Cow technique used in elocution teaching and change the words to " High , Nigh , Brine , Kigh " . Towel would become Tile . 20 66 If I moved to Ireland and lived there for a few years , would I pick up the accent ? No , not necessarily , I was born in Ireland , lived there my whole life , yet I still have a distinctively American accent simply because my parents did . 14 47 What is the difference between an Irish and a British accent ? This is difficult to answer as there are several types of Irish accents and arguably many more British ones . A north west English accent ( Liverpool / Manchester ) are closer to a Dublin accent than say a Cockney one and ( in my experience ) a west Irish accent is not far off that of someone from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland . But say if you compare a standard British ( BBC ) and Dublin accent of two people with similar education and social backgrounds , the difference is not as great as you ' d 18 57 What saying or expression would help with the Irish accent ? Say " How ' s it going , " as hoe / de / gorn or hoe / de / goe / wun . Try saying that quickly and often in your most Irish accent . 7 Show more answers Ask a Question Tips Listen to interviews with the Celtic Thunder lads and Niall Horan . Try to stay away from Hollywood stars faking Irish accents . You want to do a true Irish accent , not an impression of Leonardo DiCaprio . Remember , in Ireland they have some words that mean the same thing as words Americans use , but they are different words . Familiarize yourself with the IRA . This will make it much easier to understand books and websites on the matter . Having correlating symbols to the sounds you are not used to will help you remember what they are and when to use them . Listen to interviews from The Script . The 3 members have different tones and will help you work out which you want to pursue . There are different accents for different parts of Ireland . For example , a Cork accent is completely different from a Midlands accent .

How to Spin Wool Author Info 10 References In this Article Article Summary Getting Started Preparing the Wool Spinning With A Drop Spindle Spinning the Wool TroubleShooting Your Yarn Community QA 10 References The art of spinning wool is making a resurgence in todays society People are rediscovering the unique qualities of wool the preferred spinning fiber Wool is waterproof and keeps you warm even when wet Part 1 Getting Started 1 Choose your equipment You will have to decide if you prefer a drop spindle or a spinning wheel Both have benefits and drawbacks Drop spindles are good to use when starting out but spinning wheels tend to be a faster way to spin Using a drop spindle Creating your own drop spindle is simple and easy When youve mastered the spindle youll have mastered all the different steps for spinning drawing out the fibers twisting the fibers into yarn and winding up and storing spun yarn The best drop spindle to begin with is the top whorl drop spindle with a hook at the top This one is sturdy enough to be dropped on the floor as youre getting accustomed to spinning The spinning wheel is more difficult to master than the drop spindle because it requires pedals to work the speed of the wheel and has more parts than a drop spindle However once youve gotten the hang of spinning on a wheel you can spin more quickly than with a drop spindle A spinning wheel works by rotating the bobbin using the drive band While you treadle the wheel turns and the flyer and the bobbin rotate You twist the fibers in your hand and these are wound around the bobbin You have to change the speed of bobbin in order to get the yarn on the bobbin automatically Different types of spinning wheels can facilitate the wrapping of the yarn around the bobbin in different ways 2 Learn the terminology of the spinning process There are lots of words that youre not going to be immediately familiar with when youre just starting out Youll need to learn the words for the different aspects of the spinning process before you can start spinning Roving is a continuous rope of fibers that have already been carded and are ready to spin Carding is when you prepare cleaned but unprocessed wool by hand carding or with a drum carder A drum carder is a mechanical device either hand cranked or electric that cards fibers for spinning The device you use to hand card is typically a large paddle set with 1 4 inch 06 cm curved metal tines A niddynoddy is a doubleheaded tool used in skeining spun yarn Skeining basically means to wind the thread off the spindle A skein is a length of yarn or thread that has been loosely coiled and knotted When youre spinning youre looking to create skeins of thread 3 Get familiar with the equipment Spinning wheels have the same basic equipment whatever type they are Some have more components than others but usually the basic components are the same Youll need to keep the different parts of the spinning wheel in mind when youre learning to spin The flywheel is the piece that rotates when you treadle which causes the rest of the pieces to move Not all wheels look the same or look like the typical fairytale wheel but all spinning wheels have some type of wheel The drive band wraps around the flywheel and the flyer whorl which is the pulley attached to the flyer and driven by the drive band There are different sized grooves on the flyer whorl that determine how fast the wheel will spin and the flyer a Ushaped piece of wood that has hooks lining up one or both arms these hooks store the yarn on the bobbin The drive band rotates the flyer which puts the twist into the fiber The tension knob adjusts the tension of the drive band by lowering and raising the motherofall which is the bar that mounts the flyer bobbin and tension knob The bobbin is what operates on the spindle along with the flyer storing the yarn It can operate with or separately from the drive band The orifice is the opening at the end of the spindle where the yarn goes through and connects to the flyers hooks The treadle is the pedal that operates the wheel and is used by your feet This determines the speed of the spinning wheel 4 Select a spinning wheel If youve decided that you want to use a spinning wheel rather than a drop spindle then youll need to learn about the different kinds of spinning wheels If youre just starting out it might be best to rent or borrow a spinning wheel so that you get the hang of it and decide its really what you want to do There are several different basic types of spinning wheels The Saxony is the typical fairy tale type of wheel with wheel on one end flyer on the other sloping frame and typically three legs This spinning wheel tends to be more expensive Castle wheels have the flyer positioned above the wheel They normally have three to four legs but tend to be more compact than the other types of wheels They are good for someone who has less working space In terms of more traditional wheels this one is the cheapest Norwegian wheels are similar to the Saxony They typically have three to four legs a large wheel and are usually quite ornate They are also typically within the same price range as the Saxony Modern wheels can often have an odd appearance as they are typically hybrids of other types of spinning wheels They often have better engineering than the other kinds and some can even fold up As for price it depends on the wheel but they typically run less than the previous wheels Electric spinners are nice because you dont have to worry about the treadle or the wheel they dont have them They can be placed on a table and used manually and are easy to carry and store These also tend to run more cheaply than the typical full length spinning wheel Spindle wheels dont have a flyer and bobbin Instead a pointed spike both twists and accumulates the spun yarn These are also less expensive than the typical spinning wheels 5 Know what to look for in choosing a spinning wheel There are certain things youll need to consider when youre choosing a spinning wheel These will determine the kinds of thread you spin what speed you spin at and how easy the treadles are to use The speed of your wheel what gear the treadle is in essentially determines how quickly the twist develops in your yarn Fine fibers like Merino wool and angora or short fibers like cotton require faster speeds More coarse fibers like Romney or Border Leicester need a slower speed Its best to find a spinning wheel that has a range of speeds so that it can be more versatile On single drive wheels the drive band goes around the wheel one time Then it goes around the drive pulley on the flyer or the bobbin Double drive wheels also use one drive band but it goes around the wheel twice The single drive is easier for beginners to use because it has a separate break system When you have to change the speed of the bobbin its easier to do on the single drive wheel because it breaks On the double drive wheel you actually have to speed up Bobbin capacity depends on the manufacturer There are no onesizefitsall bobbins The best way to compare bobbin capacity is to calculate the volume of the bobbin available to wind on the yarn Many manufacturers have a selection of different bobbin sizes Part 2 Preparing the Wool 1 Choose your fleece Try to get a fleece that has been just sheared because the grease makes the wool softer You will also need to keep a few things in mind when choosing your fleece These include what youre making out of the spun yarn color and faults in the fleece that will make your spinning experience difficult Think about what youre planning to do with the finished yarn Are you making socks Weaving Knitting Making outerwear Different kinds of fleece have different softness levels which youll need to look into when youre choosing the fleece to spin with Watch for certain faults in the fleece that will inhibit your spinning Avoid buying fleece with a break in it If you give a lock of fleece a sharp tug and it breaks typically in the middle this will cause pilling in the roving and make for weak yarn Fleece that has vegetable matter in it makes for difficult carding and cleaning if you like combing the fleece and have the time you can get this but otherwise its best not to Check that the crimp of your fleece is even Spread out the fleece and check at least three different areas haunch shoulder midside for example You want to make sure that one area isnt coarser and hairier than another area Wheeltoflyer ratio determines what type of yarn can be spun A wheel that has a ratio for medium or bulky yarns will be used for spinning wool so the size of your yarn will depend on your wheel 2 Wash in hot water Often you have to scour wash the fleece before carding and spinning This is to remove the oils from it which can make it difficult to spin Although you can wash in cold water its recommended that you use hot water You want the water to be hot enough to be uncomfortable but not so hot that you cant actually wash the wool Use a large bathtub or basin You can divide into sections to make it easier to wash it well and so that you dont crowd the fleece Some handspinners like to leave the grease in called spinning in the grease and wait to clean the fiber when setting the twist into the yarn However leaving in the grease can make it difficult to dye and can ruin the carding cloth on a drum carder 3 Put in about a cup of laundry detergent You can use just about any laundry detergent as long as it doesnt have bleach or added conditioner Conditioner can leave behind a filmy residue on the fleece Dont completely strip the oils out of the fleece Removing too much of the natural oils can make it as difficult to spin which is why some handspinners spin with the oils and wash later You also want to make sure that you arent using so much detergent that you have to wash the fleece ten times to get all the suds out Washing too much and too vigorously can turn the fleece into felt which you want to avoid 4 Soak fleece for 45 minutes You will want to soak the fleece in the water to get rid of dirt oils and other unclean undesirables Leaving it to soak means that you wont accidentally turn it into felt Do not allow running water to run directly on the fleece 5 Push the fleece gently into the water You will need to stir the fleece around gently with your hands or a wooden spoon handle Remember too much agitating will turn your fleece into felt 6 Rinse and repeat Each time you rinse the wool make sure that the temperature is the same as the times before The more open you allow the fleece to be in the water the fewer washrinse cycles youll have to go through Depending on how dirty or how fine the wool is you may have to do more washrinse cycles Soak the fleece in hot water with about onehalf cup of white vinegar for 30 minutes for the last rinse Mohair merino rambouillet and other finer wools tend to need multiple washes 7 Let dry Gently squeeze the wet wool Spread on a towel or drying rack or hang over your porch railing If you can put them outside to dry do that The best weather for drying wool is sunny and windy 8 Card the fleece using the method of your choose Carding aligns all the fibers in the one direction It fluffs them to make the drafting easier You can send it to a factory use a drum card or a hand comb Consider using a metal dog comb which is the most inexpensive choice If youre using carding paddles which are a good easy way to go take a piece of the clean dry fleece and drape pieces of it it one direction With the other paddle youll gently swipe across the fibers aligning them in the same direction When the fleece is fluffy and aligned put the piece aside No matter what type of carding youre doing the same basic principle is the same You are trying to align the fibers one way whether youre doing it with a metal dog comb with paddles or with a drum card One of things people tend to do wrong is overcard their fleece Your goal is to make the fleece look presentable fluffy and aligned You dont need to beat the fibers into submission Make sure that the wool is completely dry Fleece is amazing in its ability to retain water and wet fleece isnt going to card properly Part 3 Spinning With A Drop Spindle 1 Collect your tools to make a drop spindle One of the best things about a drop spindle is that it is relatively easy to make and to use If you decide to go this route then you can make your own drop spindle without much cost Gather the materials listed below A onefoot long wooden dowel Although size isnt that important a recommended diameter size is 38 of an inch This will act as the main shaft for the spindle A hook or wire that can be bent into a hook Youll make sure to hook your yarn through here Two heavy CDs to act as the whorl Rubber grommets that match the diameter of your dowel You can get these at any farm store or auto part store So if the diameter of your dowel is 38 of an inch the inside hole bore diameter should be 38 of an inch the panel hole should be 58 of an inch to match the hole in the CDs and the outside diameter should be about 78 of an inch Get a serrated knife or small saw and scissors to cut the dowel 2 Insert cup hook into the top of the dowel To do this youll need to make a hole in the center of the dowel with a pushpin Screw the cup hook into the hole so that it will stay in place 3 Insert the grommet into the hole between two CDs You want the grommet to fit snugly in the center of the CDs This can be a little frustrating since its a tight fit but once youve pulled the edges of the grommet up it should be good to go 4 Slide the dowel into the center of the grommet As long as youve judged the sizes correctly you should be finished making your drop spindle If it doesnt quite fit wrap the dowel with electrical tape until the dowel and CDs slip on and fit tightly 5 Prepare your roving For a beginning spinner one piece of roving is going to be too big Break that piece down into sections that are about 12 inches 305 cm long Carefully split your roving down the middle to form two strips instead of one This will make spinning easier if youre just beginning 6 Tie on your leader Your leader is a piece of yarn about 18 inches 457 cm long thats tied onto the spindle shaft right above the whorl the CDs Put the yarn over the whorl and loop it around the shaft underneath Put it back over the whorl and secure the end to the hook 7 Spin the fibers Letting the spindle hang beneath your hand suspended by the leader take the spindle in your right hand and the leader in your left hand Spin the drop spindle from the dowel or shaft in a clockwise direction Repeat this process in the same direction until the leader begins to take in the twist Youll leave a fluff of fiber at the end so you can join on more fiber Its a good idea to practice making the spindle rotate so that you get a feel for the direction youll be spinning the drop spindle to make the yarn 8 Wind on new fiber Keeping tension on your spun yarn allow the twist to run into the newly drafted fiber Keep repeating this process and check that there is enough twist before you move on When the yarn is long enough that the spindle almost touches the ground unhook it and wrap it around the base of the spindle next to the whorl This is called a single Youll want to leave enough yarn unwound so that you can slip it back on the book with a couple of inches to spare If you find that the yarn is pulling apart or too slack spin your spindle again to store more of the twist 9 Overlap the wool a few inches of the fluff of drafted fibers so that you can catch and twist more onto the leader Allow the twist to run into the joined fibers adding more twist by spinning the spindle because you want to make sure that your join is secure To test the join give the spindle another twist and bring your right hand back to where the left hand holds the yarn Move your left hand back about three inches as you pull and draft out more fibers of wool and allow the spindle to turn a few times Release the yarn with your right hand and left the twist move up into the fibers as you did previously Now gently pull more fibers from the fiber mass by pulling back with your left hand and allowing the twist to run into the drafted fibers Part 4 Spinning the Wool 1 Draft the wool This is when you pull fibers from material to be spun and thin them down to form the size of the yarn you want to spin If you draft more fibers your yarn will be thicker less fibers and it will be thinner If your fiber is in a long continuous narrow strip this is the form of fiber processing called roving If its in a wide rolledup bundle that unrolls into a wide rectangle that is the form of fiber processing called a batt Pick a strip about 12 inches 305 cm long and approximately thickness of your thumb this doesnt have to be exact Hold the strip of fiber in one hand doesnt matter which Pull a few fibers from one end of your strip with your other hand Drafting things the fiber down the the desired thickness for your spun yarn The spinning process will twist the fibers which also thin them down As you get better at drafting and spinning youll find it easier to judge the size of your drafts 2 Set up the leader on your spinning wheel The leader is a piece of yarn that has previously been spun and can be attached to the shaft of your bobbin Cut a piece of yarn about 36 inches 914 cm and tie it to the shaft of your bobbin Make sure that you tie it snugly Pull the leader through the orifice on your spinning wheel Once you do this youre ready to begin the actual spinning If youre just starting to spin its a good idea to practice spinning just with the leader so you get a feel for how the spinning wheel works how to start spinning the wheel just with the treadles 3 Place your fiber alongside the leader You will want to overlap them for about four to six inches Youll hold the bundle of fiber in one hand the fiber hand and the leader and fiber in the other hand this is the drafting hand 4 Begin treadling You want to make sure that the wheel is going in a clockwise motion This will create the Z twist in your single strand of spun yarn Allow the leader and the fiber to twist together holding them for a moment while they twist so that they are secure Make sure you let the wheel take up the fiber as you draft more fiber 5 Begin to spin Overlap unspun and spun fiber holding it with your nondominant hand and turn the wheel clockwise This will cause the fiber to twist which is what turns the fiber into yarn Make sure that your drafting hand is between the fiber hand and orifice of your spinning wheel You dont however have to keep your hands close to the orifice as you spin Always make sure to spin the wheel in a clockwise manner 6 Draft more wool onto the leader You will want to slide your drafting hand towards the bundle of fiber to draft more fiber to be spun Its best when youre just starting to stop spinning draft the fiber and then spin then stop and draft again As you grow more comfortable it will turn into one continuous motion Take care that you dont allow the twist to travel to the fiber in your fiber hand Your nondominant hand should be closest to the wheel and the dominant hand closer to you 7 Unwind your yarn and make into a skein You will do this once the spindle is full Wrap around your hand and elbow much like winding cord and tie at intervals with acrylic yarn This is when you might use the implement known as the niddynoddy Wrap the yarn from the bobbin onto the niddy This will create a large loop in a small amount of space which youll then tie in sections and remove by sliding it off one shoulder of the niddy 8 Set the twist Youll do this by soaking the skein in hot water and hanging it to dry You can use a plastic hanger or hang it over a drying rack Hang something heavy from the skein while drying Part 5 TroubleShooting Your Yarn 1 Avoid yarn that gets tangled Sometimes your yarn gets tangled between the bobbin and the flyer Basically this means that your treadling isnt even which happens a lot with first time spinners Break off the yarn hook it back up and start over again This can also happen because the bobbin is too full which causes the yarn to spill over the edges of the bobbin and tangle around the shaft Empty the bobbin as you would normally and start fresh 2 Find your lost end Sometimes when youre spinning you lose the end Dont fret Roll your bobbin around a few times Often the end is under the last hook that it was over Try using a piece of tape to see if you can pull up the loose end This solution works about half the time Otherwise pick the most likely end and pull enough yarn for a new leader so you can start again 3 Do something about your lumpy thread If your yarn is lumpy and bumpy it means that you arent spinning it consistently You might be pulling out too much fiber If so what you need to work on is getting into a consistent rhythm for spinning 4 Troubleshoot your handspinning Some of the same problems happen in handspinning that happen with a spinning wheel Sometimes there is a different way of fixing it as opposed to a spinning wheel for example you dont have the flyer and the bobbin and so those types of tangles arent typical Spindle gets away from you If your spindle gets away from you and the twists runs up into the fiber mass stop your spindle and untwist your fiber mass Then start the drafting again This is a very common occurrence for beginners If you have thick and thin spots in your yarn known as slubs you can do something like keep them and have a novelty yarn good for knitting scarves Otherwise you can remove the slubs by pinching the yarn with your hands on either side of the slub and untwisting until the fibers draft out a little Overtwisted yarn is a common beginners problem You can tell your yarn is overtwisted if you have a thick strand that feels very hard and dense The strand can kink back on itself when you relax your tension To fix this loosen some of the extra twist by drafting out more fibers Community QA Question Can I join two skeins somehow by putting them back on the spinning wheel wikiHow Contributor Community Answer You can join two Skeins using a niddy noddy If you put it back on the spinning wheel you will add too much twist Not Helpful 1 Helpful 1 Submit Video Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats

How to Spin a Drumstick Coauthored by wikiHow Staff Video Team Tested 15 References In this Article Spinning the Drumstick Like a Baton Spinning the Drumstick Over Your Pointer Finger Spinning the Drumstick With Four Fingers Spinning the Drumstick on Your Palm Community QA 15 References Playing the drums is pretty cool but playing the drums and incorporating stick tricks while you play is even cooler Doing stick tricks can make you come off as more experienced and confident in your abilities Most stick tricks are fairly easy to learn but in order to master them you must put in the practice Method 1 Spinning the Drumstick Like a Baton 1 Place the stick between your pointer and middle finger The basic drumstick spin is essential for any drummer to know Position the middle of the drumstick low in between your pointer and middle finger The stick should be resting in the webbing of your two fingers You can use your right or left hand to practice this trick and it will look even better when you can do it simultaneously with both hands 2 Alternate the position of your fingers With the stick in between your two fingers alternate the positioning of your fingers Your fingers should look like the legs of a swimmer moving alternatively up and down This up and down movement of your fingers will make the drumstick move back and forth in a pendulumlike motion Practice this finger movement to get accustomed to the back and forth motion of the drumstick The middle of the stick should remain in between your pointer and middle finger 3 Incorporate a figure eight movement As you alternate your fingers and the drumstick is moving back and forth like a pendulum slightly roll your wrist to get some fluidity to the movement of the stick As the stick spins begin making a circular figure eight motion with your fingers As you continue to spin the stick it will naturally slide down to the end of the stick due to gravity Because of this you will have to eventually readjust the positioning of the stick Method 2 Spinning the Drumstick Over Your Pointer Finger 1 Hold the stick in matched grip position Matched grip position is the starting position in which you hold your drumsticks Grip the stick by hooking your pointer finger around the stick and grasping the stick with the pad of your thumb You should be holding the stick approximately 4 inches from the bottom of the stick Then wrap your other three fingers around the drumstick The drumstick should be gently but securely resting in the palm of your hand 2 Position your hand vertically Normally when drumming your hands and sticks are in a horizontal position For the spin turn your hand so youre holding the drumstick vertically 3 Pinch the stick and release your other fingers Remain holding the drumstick with your pointer finger and thumb Put your middle ring and pinky fingers behind the stick while still keeping the drumstick vertical 4 Spin the drumstick backward With your three fingers behind the drumstick push the bottom the drumstick forward so the top of the stick comes toward you Your middle finger is going to be doing the majority of the pushing As the drumstick begins to spin release your thumb from the stick and allow the stick to spin over your pointer finger As the stick finishes spinning around your pointer finger release your middle finger from the stick and the drumstick will then finish spinning around your pointer finger 5 Catch the drumstick The stick will make one full rotation until it is back in its starting position As the stick comes back to its starting position catch it using all of you fingers and thumb Once back in the starting position you can continue to spin the stick Method 3 Spinning the Drumstick With Four Fingers 1 Position the drumstick between your pointer and middle finger Place the middle of the drumstick in between your index and middle finger Spin the drumstick by moving your pointer finger away from you and moving your middle finger toward you This will make the drumstick in between your fingers spin over toward your other two fingers ring and pinky finger As you do this first spin between your index and middle finger relax your ring and pinky finger so they can be pulled away and lower than your two spinning fingers This will prevent the stick from hitting those fingers as you execute the first spin 2 Hook your ring finger As the drumstick spins and travels around your middle finger hook your ring finger onto the back of the stick and allow your pointer finger to relax and straighten out This will transfer the drumstick from your pointer and middle finger to your middle and ring finger Just like you moved your pointer finger away from you and moved your middle finger toward you to get the drumstick to spin you are going to do the same movement with your middle and ring finger Move your middle finger away from you and move your ring finger toward you This will cause the stick in between your two fingers to continue spinning 3 Hook your pinky finger As the drumstick spins around your ring finger hook your pinky finger behind the stick and allow your middle finger to relax and lay flat Allowing your middle finger to relax positions the drumstick between your ring and pinky finger From this position you can again move your ring finger back away from you and move your pinky finger toward you causing the drumstick to continue spinning 4 Transfer the stick from your pinky to your pointer finger As the drumstick spins around your pinky finger it will come back around to the front palm side of your hand When it is on the palm side tuck your pointer finger down When the stick is horizontal and perpendicular to your fingers lift your pointer finger back up so it is in front of the stick At this position your pinky finger and pointer finger should be in front of the drumstick while your middle and ring fingers should be behind the drumstick As you move your pointer finger to be in front of the drumstick slowly release your pinky and ring finger so the only two fingers touching the drumstick are your pointer finger which is in front of the stick and your middle finger which is behind the stick This will put you back in the starting position and you can continue spinning the drumstick Method 4 Spinning the Drumstick on Your Palm 1 Hold the stick with an open hand Hold open your hand palm facing up and position the middle of the stick horizontally in the middle of your hand Spinning the drumstick from its middle will allow the stick to be balanced as you spin it Once you have the positioning down close your hand loosely to grip the drumstick 2 Spin the drumstick Bring your wrist back as if you are going to throw the drumstick away from you As you throw the stick open your hand all the way really wide so your fingers are almost pointing downward This will allow the jointed part of your hand where your fingers connect to the palm of your hand to be the highest point on your hand The highest point is where you want the stick to spin so it doesnt hit any of your fingers as it rotates Spin the drumstick with enough force so that it can make at least one full rotation spinning If you dont spin the drumstick with enough force it will stop spinning on your hand 3 Catch the drumstick When the drumstick starts to slow down on the palm of your hand clench your hand to catch the stick It will be easier to catch the stick if one of the ends are in between or near the space between your thumb and pointer finger Community QA Search Question Is there any way to keep the stick centered as I transfer it from my pinky finger back to my pointer finger wikiHow Contributor Community Answer It may be easier for people with bigger hands to keep the drumstick centered as they transfer it However try pulling your index finger inward toward your pinky to hook onto the stick more in the center rather than the end Thanks Yes No Helpful 10 Question When using the four finger method I cant seem to keep the stick centered What do I do wikiHow Contributor Community Answer You have to hold your hand at an angle so that if you were to loosen your grip it would slide through your hand as you crawl the stick through your fingers Let it slip the distance of one finger then tighten up as you flip again This takes lots of practice to be fluid Thanks Yes No Unanswered Questions When trying the first method the one where you spin the stick like a baton it just does not spin What do I do to make it spin Answer this question Flag as Flag as Ask a Question Already answered Not a question Bad question Other Tips Remember that learning stick tricks takes practice just like learning the actual drums Practice practice practice Warnings Dont do these tricks while performing until you are confident that you can perform them without fault Dont let the drumstick get too big on one side because you will lose control of the stick When catching the stick be sure to keep your hand relatively flat or else the stick can strike the fingertips causing pain Made Recently Awesome picture Tell us more about it Click here to share your story

How to Start a Clothing Line Author Info ReaderApproved In this Article Article Summary Getting Your House in Order Nailing Down the Basics Making the Clothes Marketing and Selling Your Line Community QA References So you dream of starting your own trendy clothing line To be successful youll have to learn how to run a business market your products and keep your customers happy Here are some basics on getting started in the clothing and fashion business Part 1 Getting Your House in Order 1 Create a solid and clear business plan Your business plan needs to lay out how you intend to manage your clothing line Try to be as realistic as possible when you write this Remember its better to underestimate your profits and be pleasantly surprised than to overestimate your abilities and be disappointed Think about these aspects in particular Executive summary An executive summary is both a description of your companys mission statement and future plans as well as a way to lure in potential investors Necessary for all businesses but especially for clothing lines which often require outside funding Company description The company description gives people an idea of what your clothing line is about what differentiates you from your competitors and the markets you want to gain a foothold in 2 Put top priority on your companys projected financials Your funding is the lifeblood of your company in its early stages Even if you dont have outside funding yet its important to get your financial ship in order and master certain basics Heres what youll need to know starting out How much money will you need in order to launch your clothing line Do you have money saved up for this or will you need a bank loan Consider an SBA loan or another type of loan to get your business started To get a loan you might need to have collateral What are your costs Read through the rest of this article then make a list of all of your anticipated costs materials manufacturing supplies equipment advertisement marketing overheads etc Add up how much it would cost to run your business for a year Will your available revenue offset these costs 3 Try to imagine how long you can personally go without pulling down a salary Do you want to do this clothing line fulltime If so how many years are you willing to wait before this company starts turning a profit thereby giving you a chance to earn a salary Or do you want it to be a side thing If it makes money its a bonus but you value expression more than profitability Try to gauge your level of involvement At the same time bet on not giving yourself a salary for about the first year of operations unless youre incredibly lucky Youll probably spend more money than you earn for the first four seasons one year Once youre established however you might be able to expand with funding from angel investors celebrities and preorders with store accounts 4 Do research on the rest of the market Who is your current and likely future competition Who is your target market How much do you think you can sell your designs for at the retail and wholesale levels Ask around Get feedback Talk to store owners and potential customers alike It can be a good idea to get a parttime retail job at a store that caters to your target market See what the store is buying and what the customers are buying Find examples of clothing that is similar to what youre going to design and learn where and for how much they sell This will give you a leg up when you need to build your own 5 Straighten out your legal obligations First of all decide on your business structure LLC partnership corporation etc In the US youll need a tax ID number a business license and youll also want to fill out a DBA doing business as form at your local bank so that you can accept checks written out to your companys name You may want to consider hiring a lawyer to either act as a consultant or be available on retainer should you need her Part 2 Nailing Down the Basics 1 Consider whether youd need employees Will you need to hire help to work on your clothing line Consider what sort of assistance youll need how many hours per week youll require and what youll be able to pay If your production is at boutique level you may be able to do all the cutting stitching and hemming yourself If you plan to start a bit bigger youll definitely need to hire production help Do you want your clothing to be produced locally Organically Are you willing to have it manufactured abroad for less money and lower quality These questions will all affect who you decide to hire Will you want a retail location If so you may want to hire help 2 Begin to build your brand Now its time to make some fun aesthetic decisions How you set up your brand will define what people associate with your clothing line so choose wisely Choose a name What name will represent your clothing line You could use your own name as did Ralph Lauren Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs a word you coin yourself such as Rodarte or Marchesa a word from another language for instance Escada means staircase or ladder in Portuguese or words whose aesthetics you like such as Iceberg Mulberry or Imitation of Christ Whatever you pick make sure its unique and recognizable Your brand name and company name can and should be different Your company name for example can be your initials or a variation of your own name while the name of the collection the clothing line should be something more creative and representative of the style youre going for 3 Design a logo Brainstorm a lot of different logos but narrow it down to one and make sure you are completely sure about the one you choose People are going to recognize you by your logo and it will confuse them if you keep changing it Check to make sure the name you pick has an available domain name and look into registering for a trademark most jurisdictions allow for and encourage this Part 3 Making the Clothes 1 Design the clothes This is the fun part for many people but its only 1015 percent of the process Make sketches get feedback and decide which ones will constitute your first collection Pick out fabrics and materials that are cost effective and current Ask whoever is producing your line whether there are any restrictions such as if they cant print certain colors If you are designing a Tshirt line get the following information from the printer size specifications specs of the design how big it can be the type of shirt you want to print on and the weightquality of the fabric for example choose thinner less expensive fabric for summer clothing lines Detail is everything When you do your sketches create a layout that shows every detail clearly and uses the proper terminology If you dont know what the terminology is find a photo and show it to the manufacturer and ask what they call it Learn the jargon and be prepared to properly identify the fabric you wish to use by weight yield content and construction After you have created your designs you should create a pattern of you product This is the blueprint of your clothing and is used by manufacturers to massproduce your designs 2 Design your collections according to season Collections are usually designed by season Most departments stores buy at least two seasons in advance while smaller stores buy one to two seasons ahead Youll need to time your design production and delivery accordingly 3 Produce the designs Bring your sketches to a seamstress manufacturer or screen printer Typically a prototype or sample is created so that you can be sure that the clothing is going to be produced the way you want it to be No matter what be sure to ask lots of questions and always get everything agreed upon in writing 4 Find your manufacturers Do an Internet search for clothing manufacturers or design clothing There are also online platforms available that help fashion brands to connect to manufacturers Many people use garment manufacturers overseas because the costs are lower Keep in mind that many overseas manufacturers only do large quantities so ask about minimums before proceeding Shop around and ask for turnaround times and how fast you can get samples sent to you they should provide samples before your designs are finalized for production Another way of finding suitable suppliers is through trade fairs Here you are able to actually speak to the manufacturers Bear in mind the conditions of manufacture consumers are much more conscious about sweat shop labor than in the past and will penalize clothing lines that use it If you know how to sew you may be able to create the patterns and prototypes yourself Consulting with someone whos an expert at sewing apparel is also an option Part 4 Marketing and Selling Your Line 1 Create a website to promote your clothing line Make sure it looks very professional and presents your line in the best light Provide contact information in case stores or other merchants want to get in touch with you If you want to give people the ability to buy clothing from your website youll need to set up a shopping cart and merchant account so you can accept credit card payments 2 Establish relationships with websites and blogs that can bring attention to your brand and site This includes selling your clothing through auction sites and arts and crafts sites that allow clothing sales Relationships drive sales whether its by word of mouth or helpful quidproquo Dont forget that 3 Promote your line These costs can run into the thousands for just one year Heres what you can do to get your brand out there Write a press release send it to local newspapers and magazines ads in papers and on websites that people in your target audience read Sponsor events that cater to your target audience Get a celebrity endorsement or get the most popular person you know to wear your stuff by giving it to them for free Use social media such as Twitter Facebook and your own blog to spread the word Make sure you have a good LinkedIn profile too 4 Use yourself as a walking billboard Wear your own fashions and ask peoples opinions and record them this will also aid you in designing a product people will like Take every suggestion a person has to offer its like having your own marketing and design team and it doesnt cost you a thing Starting out money is going to be tight so take advantage of every opportunity you can 5 Take orders Sell at festivals markets and to everyone you know Get appointments with local stores and convince them to carry your line Offer your clothing on the Internet Print a catalog and mail it to clothing stores and potential customers 6 Go to a fashion trade show if you have the funds Paying for a booth can be expensive but it can also be worth it both in terms of sales and publicity For example the MAGIC Fashion Trade Show held in Las Vegas or Europes Bread and Butter fashion trade show are great places to set your sights Tips Sometimes joining up with a designer friend or colleague can help get your clothing line off the ground with more support and ideas than just doing it alone However ensure that you are business compatiblejust because youre friends doesnt mean youll click when running a business together Try to think of a catchy name It helps your business really take off Be conscious of the need to ensure that your clothing line reflects your own principles If you care about worker fairness a healthy environment and sustainability work out the ways in which you can ensure that your clothing line lives up to these principles and is also made clear to your consumers Make sure what you do or what you take out there will be something that helps and boosts your brand See if you can find angel investors or similar investors who are willing to back your brand You might even consider going on a program such as Dragons Den to get investment and show off your clothing line at the same time Warnings Once you get into the fashion industry and start brushing elbows with celebrities it can be tempting to assume that youve got it all figured out but dont go down that road Keep looking for ways to improve Continue changing your clothing line and seeking to make progress Dont get too comfortable or else your brand will become stale Always be sure you can fulfill orders taken You will get a bad reputation quickly if you cant deliver when and what you say you will Things Youll Need Business plan Suitable place to design and work on clothing Storage for clothing Beware This can be costly Manufacturer details and certainty that you have chosen the best one for your needs do a lot of online research and telephone or facetoface discussions Mentors you really should have people who can help you survive and work through the challenges that pop up in this cutthroat industry References Jay Arrington The Official Stepbystep Guide to Starting a Clothing Line ISBN 0976416107

How to Stay Up All Night Doing Homework Coauthored by wikiHow Staff ReaderApproved 16 References In this Article Getting Organized Before Your AllNighter Executing Your AllNighter Staying Motivated During Your AllNighter Community QA 16 References Staying up all night to do homework is not advised but sometimes its unavoidable If your homework has piled up to the point that the only way to complete it is to pull an allnighter then make some preparations and get your head in the game Youre in for a long night Part 1 Getting Organized Before Your AllNighter 1 Create a workspace Find a place in your house thats clean organized and free from distractions The space should be comfortable but not so comfortable that you could easily fall asleep there Make sure you have all the resources youll need all your books assignments and stationery If it helps you to have music playing as you work work near a speaker But choose instrumental music to avoid being distracted by focusing on the song lyrics instead of your assignments 2 Gather your fuel Staying up all night is an endurance event so youll need to fuel yourself accordingly Make sure your fridge and pantry are stocked with food water milk and your favorite caffeinated beverage like coffee tea energy drinks or soda Feed your body protein rich foods like peanut butter sandwiches turkey sandwiches or hummus and carrots Stay away from sweets the sugar will cause you to crash 3 Prioritize your work If youre staying up all night you have a lot of work to do but not all of it necessarily needs to be done by the next day Make a list of all your assignments then figure out which assignments are most pressing Put the biggest assignments that are due first near the top of the list Put smaller assignments that you can complete quickly and easily near the bottom of the list Try to do these towards the end of your night when youre exhausted Any assignment that isnt due the next day should be completed on another night 4 Create a schedule Figure out what time you need to complete your work by If you have school the next day youll need some time in the morning to shower and prepare so factor in an hour to get ready Then work backwards and schedule out your night Approximate how long each assignment will take you and then block off an appropriate amount of time in your night to do the work Schedule high priority assignments early in the evening when youre still at your best Schedule in a ten minute break every two hours Use this time to get up and walk around and give your brain a break 5 Pump yourself up with a nap If youre tired before starting your work take a caffeine nap Drink a cup of coffee then immediately take a 20minute nap The caffeine will take effect just as you wake up and youll feel refreshed and energized Dont nap for longer than 30 minutes If you nap for longer than 30 you risk entering into REM sleep cycle If you dont have time for a nap take a fifteenminute walk outside It will accomplish the same thing 6 Start as soon as you can If youre planning an allnighter its because youre crunched for time but dont make it any more difficult on yourself than it has to be Start working as soon as you can and dont put the work off till later in the night Make a concrete plan of what time youre going to begin working and stick to it Set an alarm if you have to Turn off your phone and any other distractions that might impede you from beginning your work Part 2 Executing Your AllNighter 1 Begin your caffeine cycle As you start working drink one of the caffeinated beverages you have set aside Drink it slowly so the caffeine doesnt overwhelm your system and cause you to crash For every caffeinated beverage you drink drink a cup of water As the night goes on increase the time between caffeinated beverages If you feel yourself falling into a slump take a multivitamin 2 Take a break for exercise No matter how focused you are at some point your brain will hit a wall Instead of working through the slump at your computer use this time to get in some exercise A quick workout can boost your brains ability to learn and retain information which will help you break through your slump Dont do a full workout instead do some quick exercise in the form of 10 pushups 10 jumping jacks or 10 sit ups 3 Keep from falling asleep by making yourself uncomfortable Pain stimulates the brain and keeps you from falling asleep When you feel yourself nodding off try pinching your thigh or eyebrow to give yourself a quick jolt If pinching isnt cutting it splash cold water on your face for an added boost Lower the thermostat in your house or study area to keep your body alert Take a cold shower to freeze yourself awake 4 Keep the lights turned on Melatonin the hormone that makes humans sleepy is brought on by darkness so turn on your brightest lights Try to work in a room with fluorescent lighting if possible The closer the light is to your eyes the better so try to work near a desk lamp or computer screen Change rooms every couple of hours so your eyes dont have time to fully adjust to the bright lights 5 Chew gum Mint increases brain activity and improves memory so chewing gum and sucking on mint candies can help you increase your alertness and improve the quality of your work Keep a stash close to your desk and dip into it whenever you feel yourself slowing down Drinking mint tea is also a great way to get some added caffeine Part 3 Staying Motivated During Your AllNighter 1 Invite a friend to join you Misery loves company so inviting a friend to spend the evening with you is a great way of holding yourself accountable Inviting a friend who has similar assignments to yours is even better youll be able to help each other out with the work Dont invite over a friend who only wants to talk and hang out You need someone who will motivate you not distract you 2 Stay focused The best thing you can do for your allnighter is to remove any potential impediments Turn off your phone move out of the room with the TV in it and stay away from the Internet as much as possible If you know you cant go all night without checking Facebook deactivate your account for the night You can reactivate it as soon as all your work is done Give your social media passwords to a friend or parent for the evening so you cant break in to check your accounts 3 Dont try to multitask Staying up all night is already challenging enough it wont help you to try to work on more than one assignment simultaneously Stick to the schedule you created earlier and dont jump around between assignments Use your priority list from earlier cross each item off the list when its completed then move on to the next one 4 Set up a system of rewards Staying up all night is hard and you deserve a reward for doing so The reward can be big like buying a new shirt or DVD for completing all your work Or you can reward yourself intermittently throughout the night Every time you finish an assignment throw a five minute dance party Youll get some exercise in and you can listen to your favorite song Give yourself five minutes to check your phone after completing an item on your todo list 5 Take breaks When youre working hard taking a break might seem counterintuitive but its actually very important Breaks keep you from getting bored help you retain information and give you a moment to evaluate your work from afar Take 10 15 minutes every two hours to grab a snack or take a walk If you feel overwhelmed take a 10 minute break to meditate Community QA Question How can I wake up early without anyone helping or an alarm wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Check out wikiHow article Wake Up Without an Alarm Clock for some helpful tips Not Helpful 2 Helpful 3 Question How do

How to Stop Daily Stomach Aches ( for Teens ) Co - authored by Janice Litza , MD Explore this Article Relieving Stomach Aches with Medicine Relieving Stomach Aches with Herbal Remedies Eliminating Pain with Lifestyle Changes Show 1 more . . . Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References A stomach ache is pain or discomfort in the abdominal area . Stomach aches are experienced by almost everyone over the course of their lifetime , and some experience them more frequently than others . There are a number of possible causes for a stomach ache , ranging from eating the wrong food to more serious health concerns such as appendicitis . Given that frequent stomach aches can be a sign of a serious medical problem , it is important to know how to find relief as well as when you need to contact your physician . Part 1 Relieving Stomach Aches with Medicine 1 Consider over - the - counter children ' s drugs with medical advice . There are a number of medicines that are available to purchase over the counter that will help stomach aches . However it is important that you take the right medicine for the right symptoms . Before purchasing a medicine , consult a doctor or pharmacist and follow labels exactly . Child versions of medications are safest for teenagers as well . Note that if you experience daily stomach pain for several days in a row you should call your doctor and schedule an appointment to be seen . Prolonged stomach pain could be a sign of a serious health problem . 2 Take a non - aspirin pain reliever for general stomach pain . Aspirin - based pain relievers can be harsh on the stomach and even cause bleeding , so avoid taking aspirin specifically . Ibuprofen and naproxen can be irritating as well . Instead of these options , take acetaminophen to relieve stomach aches . For general stomach pain , call your doctor if it persists for several days or begins to worry you . Aspirin should never be given to children or teenagers unless prescribed by your doctor due to the risk of Reye ' s syndrome , which can be dangerous . 3 Take an over - the - counter antacid or acid reducer for heartburn . Examples of antacids or acid reducers include zantac , prilosec , and nexium . Heartburn will feel like a painful burning sensation in the chest . It will usually occur after eating or while you are lying down . It is caused by acid build up in the stomach . An over the counter antacid or acid reducer will cure most cases of heartburn . If you continue to experience heartburn for more than two weeks while on over the counter medicine , or if your pain is severe , you have vomiting , or you are unable to eat due to pain , call your doctor to schedule an appointment . Note that antacids containing aluminum can cause constipation . Also , antacids containing magnesium can cause diarrhea . Read labels carefully . Adult Pepto Bismol , Kaopectate , bismatrol , and and some other drugs marketed for heartburn contain bismuth subsalicylate . Like aspirin , this drug can cause a dangerous condition called Reye ' s syndrome in children and teens . Do not take it without a prescription , especially if you might have the flu or another virus . 4 Take a laxative or stool softener if you are experiencing constipation . Constipation is defined as having infrequent bowel movements or difficulty having a bowel movement . Generally this means less than three bowel movements per week . Constipation is relatively common , but for some it can cause stomach pain and discomfort . A laxative or stool softener can help relieve discomfort . Check with your doctor or pharmacist on which medication to try . If your constipation continues for three weeks or longer call your doctor to schedule an appointment . You should also call your doctor if you begin to lose weight or see blood in your stool . 5 Try acetaminophen , ibuprofen or naproxen for menstrual cramps . Chose one of these medicines and begin taking it , as instructed on the bottle , as soon as bleeding or cramping starts . If these medicines do not work , your doctor will be able to prescribe a stronger medicine for you . Part 2 Relieving Stomach Aches with Herbal Remedies Try drinking a cup of herbal tea . There are several options to choose from . You can drink a cup of herbal tea after each meal to help settle an upset stomach . The following three types are worth trying : Chamomile tea contains an anti - inflammatory agent that can help settle an upset stomach . You can pick up chamomile tea at almost any supermarket . Try having a cup of tea after meals to settle your stomach . You should drop the tea bag in hot , but not boiling , water , so as not to destroy chamomile ' s active ingredient . Mint tea is a useful remedy for gas , bloating , and indigestion because it works to relax stomach muscles . Peppermint tea is available at most supermarkets , but you can also use fresh mint leaves . Simply drop the leaves in hot water and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes . Enjoy this drink after meals for best effect . Make yourself a rice tea . Rice tea is simply rice , water and honey . Boil half a cup of rice in six cups of water for 15 minutes . Next strain the rice out of the water , saving the water in a bottle . Add a small amount of sugar or honey to the water and drink warm . Rice tea has been shown to help settle upset stomachs . Try a mix of yogurt and fruit juice . Yogurt can help speed up digestion because it contains active cultures . Mix yogurt with fruit juice for a healthy snack that will aid digestion . Try one part yogurt , one part juice . Carrot , apple , and peach drinks work well for indigestion . Avoid acidic fruits such as orange juice , as they can be harsh on an upset stomach . Yogurt labels will note if they contain active cultures . Be sure to only buy those with active cultures if you are using it to help with a stomach ache . 3 Drink apple cider vinegar to ease indigestion . Try mixing a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with one cup of warm water and a tablespoon of honey . This will help to reduce cramping , gas , and even heartburn . 4 Eat ginger . Ginger has been used for thousands of years to settle stomachs . Studies have shown that it is the anti - inflammatory properties in ginger that are so effective . Ginger can be taken fresh , in ginger capsules , ginger chews , or as ginger ale . 5 Try placing a heating pad or a hot water bottle on your stomach . For maximum effectiveness the pad or bottle should be around 104 ° F or 40 ° C . The heating pad or hot water bottle works by activating heat receptors deep in the body which , in turn , cause your body to not feel as much pain . This treatment is particularly recommended for menstrual pain . Eliminating Pain with Lifestyle Changes Avoid certain foods . Each body is different , so it can be difficult to give general advice about what foods should be avoided . When you eat a certain food , pay attention to how you feel afterwards . By doing this you will soon be able to pinpoint what food or foods are causing problems . Talk to your doctor to see if you may have an allergy to a certain food , gluten sensitivity , or celiac disease . Be particularly mindful about the following foods : Processed foods , including fast food , white bread , sausage , donuts , hamburgers , and potato chips . Dairy products can cause stomach aches in some people , especially if they are unknowingly lactose intolerant . Try staying off dairy products for a week to see if there is improvement , or try a soy based milk . Spicy and greasy food can irritate the stomach and should be avoided if you are experiencing stomach pains . Eat healthy foods and drink water to help with belly pain . The best foods to help with a stomach ache are high in fiber . Your stomach aches may actually be caused by a lack of fiber in your diet . It is also important that you drink water , approximately two to three liters per day ( nine to 13 cups ) is the recommended amount . Foods high in fiber include fruits like bananas , vegetables like broccoli , and many whole grains . Prunes , cherries , raisins , and apricots are particularly effective . These foods will help with regular bowel movements and prevent constipation . Eliminate foods that cause gas . Healthy foods like beans , broccoli , cabbage , and yogurt make gas in your stomach and can cause stomach pain . Eat these foods in moderation . To help prevent gas chew these foods ( and others ) thoroughly , and do not swallow too quickly . Drinking ginger ale can relieve stomach aches caused by gas . After you drink , you can try to burp or pass gas to relieve pressure . Over the counter Gas - X may also help . Avoid overeating . Overeating can cause discomfort and stomach pain , even if you eat too much of a healthy food . Try not to get all of your calories in one or two big meals ; instead , spread out your calories in three meals and one to two healthy snacks . To ease the load on your stomach , here is a detailed breakdown of how many calories should be consumed by teenagers daily . 14 – 16 year old males should have 3,100 when active or 2,300 when not active . Females should have 2,350 and 1,750 , respectively . 17 – 18 year old males should have 3,300 when active or 2,450 when not active . Females should have 2,400 and 1,750 , respectively . Avoid alcohol . Teenagers should not be drinking alcohol , but if you are it could be a cause of stomach aches . Alcohol increases the amount of acid your stomach produces , and can lead to ulcers , acid reflux and other issues . Alcohol can also cause vomiting and diarrhea . 6 Reduce stress and anxiety . Stomach aches can be caused by stress , anxiety , or depression . Try to reduce your stress level . Try exercising for 30 minutes each day with a long walk or jog . You can also reduce your caffeine and sugar intake , which can both lower anxiety and help your stomach feel better . Consider talking with a counselor if you are dealing with a lot of stress or anxiety . 7 Get plenty of rest and live healthy while having menstrual cramps . If your stomach pains are caused by menstrual cramps , you will want to have plenty of rest . In addition , you will want to avoid alcohol , caffeine and smoking . Knowing When to Seek Medical Attention Understand that stomach aches may be serious . The use of medicines , herbal remedies and / or lifestyle changes are not substitutes for medical care . Given that stomach aches can point to serious problems , it is vital that you know which symptoms to take seriously and know when to see a doctor . Visit the emergency room immediately with severe and unrelenting pain .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding . Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer . Not Helpful 15 Helpful 89 Question What if you faint while having a nosebleed ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer Fainting during a nose bleed is common , especially if you are not used to seeing blood . However , fainting from a nose bleed is not usually dangerous . If you feel like you might faint , lie down in a safe place and if possible , raise your legs up on pillows .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding . Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding . Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer . Not Helpful 15 Helpful 89 Question What if you faint while having a nosebleed ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer Fainting during a nose bleed is common , especially if you are not used to seeing blood . However , fainting from a nose bleed is not usually dangerous . If you feel like you might faint , lie down in a safe place and if possible , raise your legs up on pillows . If you faint before you can do this , lie down after you regain consciousness and put your legs up on pillows . You can also lie on your side to prevent blood from running down your throat .

Do not freak out or go nuts , breath through your mouth and stay calm , that way your pulse rate goes down and less blood comes out . Plug your nose up and look down while holding a cloth to your nose and let it stay there for a while . Putting a cold compress ( like frozen peas ) on the back of your neck can help as it makes the veins in your neck cool down and slows the bleeding since nose bleeds tend to happen when you get too hot .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding . Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer . Not Helpful 15 Helpful 89 Question What if you faint while having a nosebleed ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer Fainting during a nose bleed is common , especially if you are not used to seeing blood . However , fainting from a nose bleed is not usually dangerous . If you feel like you might faint , lie down in a safe place and if possible , raise your legs up on pillows .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding . Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer .

Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer Fainting during a nose bleed is common , especially if you are not used to seeing blood . However , fainting from a nose bleed is not usually dangerous . If you feel like you might faint , lie down in a safe place and if possible , raise your legs up on pillows .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future . You can get a nose bleed because of self - induced trauma , mostly as a result of nasal picking . This is the most common cause in young children . Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur . If you have to sneeze while your nose is bleeding , you should try to expel the air through your mouth so you do n ' t further hurt your nose or cause more bleeding . Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer . Not Helpful 15 Helpful 89 Question What if you faint while having a nosebleed ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer Fainting during a nose bleed is common , especially if you are not used to seeing blood . However , fainting from a nose bleed is not usually dangerous . If you feel like you might faint , lie down in a safe place and if possible , raise your legs up on pillows .

Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future .

Other causes include substance abuse of drugs such as cocaine , blood vessel disorders , blood clotting disorders , and trauma to the head or face . Environmental factors such as low humidity , which is common during the winter , can induce mucosal irritation and bleeding . The incidence of nasal bleeding increases in colder weather . Infections of the nose and sinuses can cause a nose bleed . Allergies can also cause mucosal inflammation , which leads to nose bleeds . In some special cases , migraine headaches in children have also been proposed as a causative . Trauma to the face can also cause a nose bleed to occur . Avoid certain situations . If you get a nose bleed , you should avoid certain situations and actions which may make it worse . Do not lean backwards . This may cause blood to run down your throat , which could induce vomiting . You should also avoid speaking and coughing . This can irritate the nasal mucosa and re - bleeding can occur .

Do not blow or pick the nose , especially if the bleeding is decreasing . You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur . Visit the doctor . There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor . If the bleeding is severe , more than a few drops , lasts more than 30 minutes , and reoccurs frequently , you should see a doctor . You also need to seek medical attention if you become extremely pale , fatigued , or disoriented . This can occur as a result of significant blood loss . If you have difficulty breathing , especially if blood passes down your throat , you need to see a doctor . This can lead to irritation and coughing . There is a chance of infection as a result , which can eventually cause breathing issues . You should always see a doctor if the nose bleed began as a result of severe injury to the nose . You should also see a doctor if you have a nose bleed while you are taking medicine that prevents blood clotting , such as warfarin , clopidogrel , or a daily aspirin . Community Q&A Question What if the pinching does n ' t stop the bleeding no matter how long I do it ? Angela Kerchner , MD Family Medicine Physician Expert Answer First , make sure that you are putting firm pressure on both sides of your nostrils and that you hold your nose that way for at least 20 minutes without letting go . If this does not slow down the bleeding , then it is possible that the bleeding is coming from further back in the nose and pinching will not reach the vessel . Also , consider any medicine you have taken recently . For example , aspirin or other medicines that decrease your body ' s ability to form blood clots may also make bleeding last longer .

This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda .

How to Stop a Nose Bleed Co - authored by Julia Bowlin , MD Explore this Article Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Understanding Nose Bleeds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Nose bleeds , also known as epistaxis , are a common complaint which can occur spontaneously . Nose bleeds occur when the inner lining of one ’ s nose is hurt or dry . The resulting damage to small blood vessels in the nose induce bleeding . Almost all nose bleeds originate from blood vessels in the front part of the nasal septum , which is the inside middle tissue separating both nostrils . Nose bleeds occur more frequently in patients with nasal allergies , sinusitis , hypertension , or bleeding disorders . If you understand the causes of nose bleeds and how to handle them , you can better manage your own nose bleeds . Method 1 Performing First - Aid During a Nose Bleed 1 Position your body . If you do not have a serious issue that led to your nose bleed , you can perform some first aid at home during a nose bleed to help stop it . To begin , sit down , since it is more comfortable than standing . Tilt head forward so that the blood drains through the nostrils . A towel can be held under your nose to collect the blood . Do not lie down as this can cause blood to pass down the throat . 2 Compress the nose . With a finger and thumb , pinch the lower fleshy end of the nose , completely blocking the nostrils . Pinching at this point directly applies pressure at the region where the blood vessels are damaged . This makes the move more effective since it will help stop the flow of blood . Keep pinching the nose for 10 minutes , then release . If bleeding continues , reapply pressure for another 10 minutes . While you do this , breathe through the mouth . 3 Cool yourself down . Lowering your body temperature can help reduce the blood flow to your nose . To do this , place ice cubes in your mouth . This helps achieve a lower temperature sooner than cooling the external part of the nose . It also will help you retain the lower temperature for longer . This is more effective than placing a cold compress over the nose . Cold compresses placed over the nose are not very effective according to a recent clinical study . You can also suck on a popsicle to achieve the same result . 4 Use oxymetazoline nasal sprays . While you have a nose bleed but not on a regular basis , you can try a medicated nose spray if you do not have high blood pressure issues . This medication causes constriction of the blood vessels in your nose . To use , take a small clean cotton ball or gauze piece , add 1 - 2 drops of the spray to it , insert them into the nostrils , continue pinching the nostrils , and check for bleeding after 10 minutes . If bleeding has stopped , do not remove the cotton or gauze for about an hour , because bleeding can reoccur . Frequent use of this drug , which is more than 3 - 4 days at a time , can cause addiction and nasal congestion . These sprays are used only if bleeding does not stop on pinching the nose after the first 10 minutes . 5 Wash your nose and rest . After bleeding has stopped , you can clean the area around your nose with warm water . After you have cleaned your face , you should rest for a while . This is to help to prevent further bleeding . You can lie down while resting . Method 2 Preventing Future Nose Bleeds Be gentle on your nose . Since nose bleeds can be caused by personal actions , there are some preventative methods that will help you prevent nose bleeds in the future . You should avoid picking your nose . Picking can cause an injury to the inner sensitive blood vessels of the nose . It can also detach the blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels and cause further bleeding . You should also keep your mouth open while sneezing to prevent expulsion of air through the nose . You should keep the inner lining of your nose moist by gently apply a coating of petroleum jelly or nasal gel inside your nose with a cotton swab twice a day . Always blow your nose gently and do it one side at a time . You should also clip the fingernails of children to avoid further injury . Buy a humidifier . To increase the humidity in your environment , you should buy a humidifier . You can use a humidifier at home or work to prevent excessive dryness , especially in the wintertime . If you do not have a humidifier , a metal container with water can be placed on top of heating radiators to humidify the air . 3 Increase your fiber intake . Constipation can lead to bearing down to pass hard stool , which causes an increase in nose bleeds because it strains your blood vessels . This can increase arterial pressure momentarily and dislodge blood clots covering previously injured blood vessels , which can eventually result in further nose bleeds . Constipation can be prevented by eating foods high in fiber and increasing your fluid intake . 4 Eat fiber to keep stools soft . Do not bear down during bowel movements , since this increases the intra - cerebral arterial pressure thereby increasing the chance of small sensitive blood vessel rupture in the nose Eating 6 to 12 prunes a day are more effective than dietary fibers and can be used to prevent constipation . You should also avoid hot and spicy foods . Heat can dilate blood vessels and precipitate bleeding . 5 Use saline nasal sprays . Saline nose sprays can be used several times each day to keep the nose moist . These nasal sprays are not addictive as they only contain salt . If you do n ' t want to buy them , you can make your own . To make your own , take a clean container . Mix 3 heaping teaspoons of iodide - free salt and 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda . Mix both the powders together . Then take 1 teaspoon of the powdered mixture and add it to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water . Mix well . 6 Eat more flavonoids . Flavonoids , which are a group of natural chemical compounds present in citrus fruits , can improve fragility of blood capillaries . Because of this , you should consider increasing your consumption of citrus fruits . Other foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley , onions , blueberries and other berries , black tea , green tea and oolong tea , bananas , all citrus fruits , Ginkgo biloba , red wine , sea - buckthorns , and dark chocolate ( with a cocoa content of 70 % or greater ) . You should not take flavonoid supplements , such as ginkgo pills , quercetin tablets , grape seed extract , and flaxseed , because they result in a higher flavonoid content and eventual toxicity . Understanding Nose Bleeds Learn the types of nose bleeds . The types of nose bleeds rely on which part of the nose the bleeding comes from . In anterior nose bleeds , bleeding arises in the front part of the nose . You can also have a posterior nose bleeds , where bleeding originates in the inner part of the nose . Nose bleeds can also be spontaneous with an unidentifiable cause . Know the causes . There are many causes for nose bleeds . When you get one , you should assess which of the causes is most likely the reason you got your nose bleed and avoid the situation if at all possible in the future .

How to Store Bagels Coauthored by wikiHow Staff 12 References In this Article Article Summary Using the Pantry for ShortTerm Storage Freezing Your Bagels Community QA 12 References There are few better ways to start off your morning than by biting into a warm perfectly toasted bagel If you like bagels youre probably going to buy more than one at a time To keep your stored bagels as fresh as they tasted on the day you got them use either the pantry or your freezer Refrigerating bagels actually makes them go stale faster Dont worry though Bagels can stay fresh outside of your freezer for several days and theyll keep for 6 months on ice Method 1 Using the Pantry for ShortTerm Storage 1 Put aside bagels you dont plan to eat in 27 days Once youve returned from the store or pulled your homemade bagels out of your oven separate them into 2 groups 1 group should contain the bagels you know you can finish within the next several days Put bagels you want to keep for any amount of time longer than that in the other group This second group is going in the freezer Fresh bagels can be safely kept in the pantry for up to about a week However after 2 to 3 days theyll start to go a bit stale Your best bet is to freeze bagels youre not sure you can eat within a 2day timeframe Storebought bagels will usually keep for about 5 to 7 days in the pantry They should be frozen if you wont eat them within the week 2 Place freshbaked bagels in a paper bag to keep them fresh Next put this paper bag inside a resealable plastic bag This combination is the best way to keep baked bagels tasting good for next few days Press the air out of the plastic bag before you seal it to lock out moisture 3 Check the bags of storebought bagels for holes or tears The plastic bags that storebought bagels come in are sometimes a little flimsy or thin If the bag doesnt have any holes you can use it to store the bagels for the next week Once youve checked for damage to the bag open it up squeeze out the excess air and then seal it again If theres even a small tear transfer the bagels to a resealable plastic bag Be sure to remove the extra air before you seal it up Generally you can use the twisttie the bag came with to reseal it If the twisttie doesnt work you can knot the end of the bag to close it 4 Preheat your oven to 350 F 177 C to toast your next bagel Before you toast sprinkle the surface of the bread with a little water Then place your bagel directly on the center rack of your preheated oven Check on the bagel after 5 minutes to see if its toasted to your liking If you prefer it a little crispier keep it in the oven for an additional 5 minutes or even longer Look in on it every 5 minutes until youre satisfied The water will revive your bagel once it hits the heated oven making your favorite baked good nice and fresh rather than hard and stale If youre worried that your bagel with slip through the cracks on your oven rack you can put it on a cookie sheet No need to grease it You can also use a toaster although the oven works best Method 2 Freezing Your Bagels 1 Preslice your bagels before freezing them Since the easiest way to eat frozen bagels is to pop them right in the toaster you wont want to thaw your bagel out to cut it in half Instead use a bagel slicer or a sharp and serrated bread knife to slice your fresh bagels in half A bagel slicer is the safest and easiest way to cut bagels in half You can purchase them online or at major retailers for less than 10 USD 2 Wrap each bagel in plastic wrap Once youve finished slicing break out your plastic wrap Place each bagel in a sheet thats big enough to wrap them up completely The plastic wrap will more effectively protect your bagels from freezer burn 3 Gather the bagels together in a resealable freezer bag To keep your freezer organized its best to put the bagels in one bag This will prevent you from having random bagels stored everywhere The resealable bag will also provide an extra layer of protection against freezer burn Use permanent marker to label the bag with the date so you know when the bagels are approaching their expiration If you dont want to go through the hassle of individually wrapping each bagel you can place them in the resealable unwrapped However be aware that they may develop freezer burn more quickly You should also transfer storebought bagels to a resealable freezer bag rather than leaving them in the plastic bag they came in These too can be wrapped in plastic wrap for more effective protection 4 Freeze bagels right after you purchase or make them This way your bagels will taste as fresh as the day you got them when youre ready to eat them again However if you miscalculate how many you can eat in 48 hours dont worry too much You can also freeze bagels you havent finished after 2 days Storebought bagels can last up to a week in the pantry While its better to place storebought bagels you dont think you can eat within this amount of time in the freezer right away they should be fine to go in the freezer toward the end of the week 5 Toast frozen bagels without thawing them The best part about frozen bagels is how easy it is to eat them when youre ready Pop the bagel in the toaster and set it to a crispier setting to give it plenty of time to bake Unlike pantrystored bagels the toaster and the oven should both be fine for warming up your frozen bagel If you choose toast your bagel in the oven at 350 F 177 C for a minimum of 10 minutes You may need to give your bagel an extra toast or a few more minutes in the oven Keep checking on it and let it cook until its crisp and warm enough for you 6 Eat bagels stored in the freezer within 6 months After 6 months your bagel will likely begin to develop freezer burn It also might not bake properly and could taste hard and stale even after a good toasting Your best bet is to go out and get another fresh batch Then you can start your storage process over again References

How to Strengthen Weak Fingernails Naturally Co - authored by wikiHow Staff | Reader - Approved | 24 References Explore this Article Styling your Nails Correctly Protecting your Nails Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles Weak , brittle , cracking , splitting nails and ragged , painful cuticles can be frustrating . Navigating the endless remedies in your local drugstore can seem overwhelming and ineffective . It seems as though there are thousands of products , from moisturizers to polishes , that promise to make your nails stronger , harder , longer , and grow faster . However , you do n ' t have to resort to using chemical hardeners or fancy treatments . You can heal your nails by taking a few practical , simple steps in everyday life . Method 1 Styling your Nails Correctly 1 Bypass buffing . Buffing is used to even out ridged fingernails . What most women do n ’ t know is that ridges in nails are a healthy part of the finger . The thickest part of the nails are the healthiest parts , and the dips are actually deficits in thickness . Therefore , when you buff your nails off , you ’ re buffing down the stronger , healthier portion of the nail . If ridges really bother you , try picking up a high quality top - coat . A top - coat that is used specifically for targeting ridging will fill in the dips on your nail . This will give you the smoothness you ’ re looking for without damaging your fingers . 2 Improve your filing technique . First , always file flat against the edge of the nail . After you ’ ve filed off your desired amount , take the emery board and file at a 45 degree angle away from the nail . This smooths the edge of your nail to prevent snagging , and it will help avoid hangnails . Always use a fine - grit nail file . The coarser grit of nail files are made for artificial nails and can be damaging and harsh on your natural ones . The same theory applies for metal files . Instead of a metal file , use an emery board that has been cushioned . 3 Clip your hangnails . Hangnails are often caused by splitting or improper cutting of nails . After your nail rips away , your skin and nail bed can be left damaged or torn . Even the smallest of tears in the skin can allow infection to enter your body . Be proactive and use nail clippers to gently clip off your hangnail . Do n ’ t chew off hangnails . Along with the ripping of your nail or skin , chewing them off transfers bacteria from your mouth directly into the wound . 4 Leave your cuticles alone . It is popular myth that cuticles are easily removed . This could not be further from the truth : cuticles are what seals and protects the nail bed . Unless you ’ re a seasoned professional , you should not be attempting to cut your cuticles yourself . It can cause unnecessary trauma and damage to your fingers . If you feel that your cuticles are truly awful , try moisturizing them instead of clipping them . By softening the cuticle with an essential oil or hand cream , you can promote happy nail growth . A second option is to use a cuticle removal cream . Cuticle removal cream is massaged into the cuticles followed by use of a soft - tipped cuticle wand to gently push the cuticle back towards the nail bed . This can help keep unruly cuticles looked more trim and clean . Method 2 Protecting your Nails Give your hands a nail soak . A DIY nail soak can be made up of any combination of oils . Try coconut , argan , or olive oil mixed with tea tree or vitamin E oil . By applying a large amount of oil to your nails with a cottonball and leaving it to soak , your nails will get a healthy dose of moisture . However , do not soak your nails in water as it will soften your nails too much and could cause the nails to bend or peel ( separate ) If you find your nails are soft and split easily , try vitamin E . Tea tree oil can be a healthy way to keep your nails clean and fungus - free . Add a happy - nail supplement to your diet . Many women find supplements to be helpful to nail growth and overall health . Biotin is good to help strengthen brittle nails . Consider investing in a high - quality supplement for hair , skin and nails . These supplements usually contain vitamins A , C , D , E , as well as many B vitamins , and folic acid , zinc , iron , calcium and biotin . When taken on a regular basis , supplements can have considerable positive effects . Not only will your nails grow stronger , you might see an improvement in your skin and hair . If your diet is lacking , a simple multivitamin can often supplement you enough to have happier nails . Weak , brittle nails are often a result of nutrient loss . Speak to your doctor to find the right multivitamin for you . Making sure you have a good intake of omega 3 oils can also reduce your risk of weak , brittle nails . Omega 3 , also known as fish oil , can be taken in supplement form or found in dairy , eggs , nuts and fats such as olive oil . 3 Be wary of what you put on your hands . Common everyday items such as nail polish remover , hand sanitizer and cleaning products are damaging to not only your nails , but will also speed up the aging process of your hands . By choosing gentler options , you can keep both your nails and hands looking young and fresh . Hand sanitizer is often alcohol based . Alcohol is drying not only to the skin , but also the nails . The alcohol will dehydrate your hands and leave your nails brittle and breakable . It is a better option to wash your hands with antibacterial soap and dry immediately , if you must use a sanitizer . Wear gloves when cleaning or gardening . Glass cleaner wo n ’ t kill you , but it certainly will hurt your nails . Keep your hands covered to prevent the moisture from being stripped away . If you forget , immediately use hand creme . Skip acetone - based nail polish remover . While acetone strips the polish off the nail , it also makes it weaker over time . Acetone is clear , harsh - smelling and highly flammable because isopropyl alcohol is typically used in the making of acetone . Instead , opt for a acetone - free available at most drugstores . 4 Do not use your nails as tools . When your nails grow , the weakest portion will always be the tip . When the weakest part is stressed , it will pull the rest of the nail up and away from the finger . This can be very weakening to the nail . So do n ’ t use your nails to open pop cans , peel off stickers , or scrape things off the counter . Community Q&A Question My nails get weaker when I am on my period , why is this ? Cecilia Flores Top Answerer This happens because of body chemistry . Try painting your nails at the beginning of your period . Polish acts as armor to the surface of your nail , making it a bit stronger . Not Helpful 0 Helpful 14 Question Does using a clear top coat protect the nails so they do n ' t get chipped ? Katyyyy Community Answer Any nail polish or top / base coat protects your nails from any chemicals and water , so yes . Not Helpful Helpful 13 What should I do if the tips of my nails sometimes look like there are two layers with the top layer flaking off ? Community Answer Trim them down and follow the advice here to strengthen them . 7 37 How do I strengthen nails that are damaged from use of acrylic nails ?

Just soak your nails daily and then after 5 minutes , then get some cotton buds to rub the oil off and soften your nails ( like a buffer but it will make them stronger ) your nails will be saved . Do n ' t forget - - no more acrylic ! 42 113 What can I do to stop biting my nails ? Use a product called , " Stop the Bite . " It works great .

Tips If you are a fan of polish , never peel it off after it begins to chip . Peeling the polish away will remove microscopic layers of nails and overtime will cause them to become soft and flexible . Warnings It is easy to buy into the promises that cosmetic companies make , but try to avoid polishes or lacquers promises to make your nails stronger or harder , or luring you in with phrases like " all natural " , " growth complex " or " results guaranteed ! " At the end of the day , these polishes are just that - nail polishes , filled with chemicals . These are a quick fix . Prenatal vitamins are often suggested as a supplement for strong hair and nails . While likely harmless , the vitamins found in these pills can often interact with other medications .

How to Survive a Bear Attack Author Info Explore this Article Steps Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Having a bear looming over you is probably one of life ' s most terrifying encounters , and rightly so . In case you ' re ever unfortunate enough to have such a close encounter , be prepared by knowing ways to survive . Steps 1 Identify the bear quickly upon your encounter . Knowing your bear has some " bearing " on how to approach an attack . Keep in mind that color and size are not reliable sole indicators of the species of bear – – even those familiar with bears can have a difficult time determining the difference between a very large black bear and a grizzly . Common features of some species of bears include : Black bears ( Ursus americanus ) : Black bears can weigh between 125 to 660 pounds ( 56kg to 300kg ) . The color of black bears tends to range from black to blond . The bear ' s muzzle is usually lighter in color than the bear ' s body ; many black bears will also sport a white patch on their throat or chest . The black bear stands about 2 - 3.5 feet ( 60 - 100cm ) tall to the shoulder and 4 - 7 feet ( 1.2 - 2.1 meters ) tall when standing on his back legs . Look for such distinguishing features as a straight face , a straight back line , small head and Brown bears ( sub - species " Grizzly " bears ) ( Ursus arctos and Ursus arctos horribilis ) : Brown bears are distributed across Eurasia and North America . They weigh between 660 and 1500 pounds ( 300 to 680kg ) , with the Kodiak bear being the largest ( rivaling the polar bear in size ) . There is debate about the amount of sub - species of brown bears but you can generally rely on the distinguishing features noted below . Grizzly bears can weigh about 550 - 1000 pounds ( 250 - 450 kg ) in interior areas , while coastal grizzlies can weigh up to 1500 pounds at peak . ( ) . Again , the coloring can be anywhere from black to blond , with the usual giveaway being that the bear has silver - tipped fur that looks " grizzled " ( or " streaked with gray hair " , hence the name " grizzly " ) . When standing , a grizzly can reach over 9 to 12 feet ( 2.74 to 3.657 meters ) tall . In brown , grizzly and Kodiak bears , look for such distinguishing features as a prominent hump over his shoulders , sloping back line , a dished or concave face , large head Sloth bears ( " Melursus ursinus " ) : Sloth bears are a nocturnal insectivorous species of bear found wild within the Indian subcontinent . Sloth bears have shaggy , dusty - black coats , pale , short - haired muzzles , and long , curved claws that they use to excavate ants and termites . A cream - colored " V " or " Y " usually marks their chests . Sloth bears ' nostrils can close , protecting the animals from dust or insects when raiding termite nests or bee hives . A gap in their teeth enables Polar bears ( Ursus maritimis ) : Male polar bears can weigh around 770 - 1500 pounds ( 350 - 680kg ) , with females being about half the size . Found in the Arctic Circle , this bear has adjusted to life on snow , ice and in cold waters . The largest terrestrial carnivore , the polar bear ' s shoulder height is about 51 - 63 inches ( 130 - 160cm ) . The usual color is white and the bear ' s body is more elongated than that of a brown bear , with a longer skull and nose . For locations of different bear species , see " Tips " below . 2 Try to quickly assess whether the bear is behaving defensively or if it is attacking you to clear its path to food ( predatory ) . This is helpful for knowing how far you can rely on trying to convince the bear you ' re not a threat so she will leave you alone ( by , for example , increasing your size , being noisy , playing dead , etc . ) . On the other hand , if you ' re viewed as prey rather than as a threat , the bear wo n ' t stop attacking you if you play dead or shout , so you ' ll need to find more effective defensive approaches that might help you to escape safely Black bear defensive attack : The bear that is defending itself will tend to swat at you and try to bite . However , it is less likely to target your head or neck ( the kill bite ) . Black bear predatory attack : The bear that is hungry will often " find you " and may have stalked you . It will go for biting the nape and the top of your head . It will grasp you with a " bear hug " while she bites you . It wo n ' t be deterred from continuing to attack you . Brown / grizzly bear defensive attack : The bear may flee or she may make a series of bluff charges to test your threat . The intended ferocity of its attack can be determined by looking at the position of her ears . The more her ears slope backwards , the more serious her intention to attack . Other indicators of an attack about to occur include hair rising on the back of her neck and back and growls . Be aware that if it runs downwind , it may signal its need to get a better smell of the Brown / grizzly bear predatory attack : The same indicators as the defensive attack , with increased seriousness of her intention ( for example , bluff charges turn into standing its ground and trying to swipe or bite you ) . If it is on all four legs , aggression will be shown in the form of swinging its head from side to side and clacking its teeth while opening and closing her mouth . Sloth bear : Sloth bears mostly feed exclusively on plants , so it ' s probably attacking you to defend itself or it ' s cubs . It will usually try to smack you and bite you , but will probably not target your head or neck . Polar bear : Polar bears are usually hungry and are dangerous . It has been known for centuries that they attack humans and they can stalk a human being for ages . They will bite you in the head . Assume the attack is predatory and that the bear wo n ' t stop attacking you . Any species of bear in your camp or worse , in your tent : This bear , regardless of species , is most likely predatory and you need to act fast to defend yourself physically . Do not act like prey – – stay calm and fight back with everything ( and everyone ) in the tent . If you notice a bear watching your campsite , contact the relevant authorities immediately . 3 Regardless of whether you ' re being attacked for predatory or defensive reasons , a bear is dangerous when he decides to attack . However , the number one coping mechanism is to keep a clear head , so above all , do n ' t panic . If you panic , your mind will go blank and you may react like a prey animal , purely from fear , which can endanger your life . Some key things to help you initially include : Try to make yourself appear bigger than you really are . Hold your arms up above your head and perhaps spread your legs a little more widely apart ( but not so as to unbalance yourself ) . You could also raise your jacket above your head to give the impression of greater height but decide realize that this may mean less protection on your body should the bear suddenly attack you and you ca n ' t put it back on quickly enough . Do n ' t use your jacket if it means removing a backpack ( see If wearing a backpack , leave it on . It ' s slightly more protection than without one , especially if you need to " play dead " ( see next step ) . Avoid making any eye contact – – eye contact can be perceived by a bear as a threat and can provoke a charge or repeated attacks . By the same token , never take your eyes off the bear in general – – know what it is doing at all times . Noise may or may not make things worse . Small bears , including black bears , can be scared away with noise . Some people believe metallic noise scares off bears because it ' s " not natural " and there are documented examples of bears running away from clanging metallic sounds . However , any noise may be effective if it ' s going to work at all . Be aware that larger bears , including large black bears and polar bears , are often simply made more curious by noise in this situation and could well come towards the noise ( i.e. , you ) to check it out . At night , use a strong flashlight or headlamp to shine lights in the bear ' s eyes , especially if a bear surprises you in your camp or tent . Even a camera flash can temporarily blind a bear in poor light or the dark . Avoid any sudden movements and never run . Animals that chase prey for a living react to movement and running trips an innate reaction to give chase until caught . A bear is able to run over 40 mph ( 64 km / h ) , so do n ' t harbor notions of outrunning the bear ! Equally , never hide in something as flimsy as a tent . The bear wo n ' t be fooled into thinking you ' ve disappeared and scuttling off to hide may well trigger the predator instinct to keep foraging for you . The common advice about climbing a tree is – – do n ' t . This is because bears ( especially black and sloth bears ) can climb trees very fast . Climbing a tree though , might increase your chances of survival if fighting a larger bear , like a grizzly bear . But some grizzlies can climb , too . It can also be useful where a bear is bluff charging , as it can indicate to the bear that you ' re not a threat . But if you do climb a tree , make sure the Try to create some distance between you and the bear – – distance is your ally while you defend yourself . Barehanded , you lack a safe enough reach to harm the bear without him harming you even more rapidly . Do your best to put something large in between you and the bear , like a tree or a rock . 4 Deal with a bear charge as calmly as possible . Some charges are tests or bluffs to see what you ' ll do , if anything . Even though it ' s hard , try to stand perfectly still and stand your ground when a bear is charging you . Some bears will be nonplussed by the lack of movement and stop considering you as a threat . However , do be readying yourself for an attack , such as preparing pepper spray or sticks , etc . during the charge . Do n ' t use the spray or hit the bear unless you are sure the bear is attacking – – some bears make several bluff charges before deciding you ' re not worth the effort and you would n ' t want to unnecessarily arouse the bear ' s wrath when she might just simply grow bored After a bluff charge , talk softly , wave your hands slowly above your head and back away slowly . Note that if a bear rears up on its hind legs – – this is often an attempt to see what is happening rather than an immediate launch into an attack . Stay still and let her assess you ; she may find you unworthy of further interest . A grizzly will tend to make a direct charge , while a black bear may zig zag charge to attack from undercover . Above all , do not run or you will trigger the bear ' s instincts to give chase . Naturally , being surprised by a stealth charging bear can make this easier said than done , so always be alert when in bear country . 5 Know when it ' s okay to play dead and when it ' s not . If the bear maintains too much interest in potentially or actually attacking you , playing dead may be an option if you ' re confronted by a brown bear or a grizzly . If you ' re certain that this is the species of bear before you , to play dead , simply drop to the ground and lie flat on your stomach . Spread your legs out ( to prevent the bear from rolling you over easily ) and cover the nape with your hands , locking your fingers together . Use your elbows to cover your face . If the bear does manage to roll you over , roll back onto your stomach again , each time . The hope is that the brown bear or grizzly will eventually grow bored with you and leave . If the bear does seem to leave , remain playing dead for some time until you can be absolutely sure the bear has really left and is n ' t just waiting for your revival . On the other hand , many bear experts recommend that you should never play dead if the bear is a black bear . ( Nor with a polar bear . ) In doing so , you might be giving yourself up for dinner . However , not all bear experts agree that playing dead does n ' t work with black bears and author of Bear Aware , Bill Schneider " , suggests that if you ca n ' t identify the bear , it ' s still best to play dead . If the brown bear or grizzly roughs you up a bit , stay flat and silent . However , if he starts to lick your wounds , stop playing dead ; the bear is getting serious about harming ( eating ) you and you ' ll need to fight back . 6 Exploit possible bear weaknesses . There are a few things that you can try to do that might lessen the bear ' s chances of successfully attacking you . First , try to defend yourself on a steep slope or grade ; in doing so , you can ensure that any bear will at least have a difficult time standing erect , thereby reducing his full weight force ( from a standing position , a bear can benefit merely from using his own weight to harm you ) . Note that attacks from the side may be difficult for the bear to see well ( Bears , as far as scientists can determine , have as good eyesight as humans . While this may deteriorate with age ( as with humans ) , do n ' t rely on alleged poor eyesight as a defense method ( namely , do n ' t play hide and seek in full view of the bear ) . 7 Fight with whatever you have . If you ' ve tried everything else and the bear is still bearing down on you , your life is in severe danger and you ' ll need to do whatever you can to survive . Reach for whatever you can to fight with . Sticks , dirt , rocks , etc . can be thrown into the bear ' s eyes , poked into his eyes , or can be used to hit him across the snout ( a very sensitive part of a bear ) . Just take care when retrieving such objects , as you will probably Do a straight - line / gut kick if you have to / can . Straight line kicks can be effective – – this is the kind of kick performed by police when breaching a door . Strike quickly and draw your leg back fast before the bear has a chance to swipe your inner thigh ( if the bear manages to do so , you ' re effectively disarmed ) . If on a hill though , realize that if the bear is lower than you , he will lead his attack with his head because of the difficulties A bear ' s neck , skull and rigid jaw muscles can be used as resistance . If done correctly , a kick landed on the face may cause hemorrhage due to the bear ' s resistance , potentially causing whiplash . If punching a bear , be aware of how useless this can be and how it can endanger you a great deal . A punch usually only works when landed squarely on the bear ' s nose . Where possible , avoid punching because it exposes your very vulnerable arms and hands . Where you can , strike and move uphill , strike and move uphill . Staying uphill may give you more of a chance to inflict enough damage to the bear to give you a chance to escape . Protect yourself above all . Be aware that you ca n ' t take a strike . The large swipes from a bear have been known to kill elk and deer in one movement ; you will likely fare no differently . Use your backpack as a shield , throw things at the bear , like your pack , camera , books , shoes and drink bottle ; preferably aim for sensitive areas of the bear ' s face , such as the nose or eyes . If you have hit the bear or caused him pain , recognize that the bear will see you as a continuing threat . He will either run away or continue his assault until he has removed his perceived threat . 8 Pull out your pepper spray and use it . This step is set apart from the previous one because you may not have any spray ( not everyone agrees with lugging around what is effectively a chemical weapon requiring careful handling and that comes with a hefty price and deteriorates quickly ) and also because you do need to know how to use it properly for it to be effective . The first thing is to understand that pepper spray is a deterrent only and may increase a bear ' s anger , so do n ' t treat it as your only response to an attacking bear . Use pepper spray at the moment of the attack . Know the range of the pepper spray you have ( it ' s usually 20 to 30 feet / 6 - 9 meters ) . Hopefully you ' ve got a big container with a good range , to help keep distance between you and the bear . Check the wind direction . It wo n ' t do you any good to spray the bear only to have the spray fog you instead . If the wind is blowing toward you , you ' ll need to carefully get to a better position . Also , if it ' s raining heavily , the spray may not be effective as it ' ll wash off quickly . Follow the manufacturer ' s instructions . You need to read the instructions before you go into bear country . You will not have time to be reading them with a bear dancing around you . Different spray brands may work differently , or new containers may have different requirements from what you ' re used to , and you need to know this in advance . Aim the pepper spray at the bear so that it will form a fog or cone cloud in the precise place where the bear is aiming to attack . Spray as soon as the bear charging you is about 40 feet ( 12 meters ) toward you , in expectation of the bear ' s arrival and yell at the same time . Expect a reaction – – the bear will experience immediate , intense pain from stinging eyes and will probably experience breathing difficulties . An angry disoriented bear will probably still come after you , so do n ' t delay if the spray has given you a chance to get away . If you forgot the pepper spray , use any repellent you have ; even insect repellent might cause stinging eyes in a pinch . However , do n ' t rely on any other form of repellent than pepper spray as your anti - bear arsenal because they generally do not make any impact at all ; use of them is a last ditch desperate act . 9 Consider the involvement of those accompanying you . Dealing with an attacking bear when in a group deserves mention . Choosing to hike , jog , run , camp , or spend time in bear country alone is n ' t necessarily wise because there is often safety in numbers . This is why many national / state / provincial park authorities in both the USA and Canada recommend that some trails can only be taken when in a group of six or more people . If you ' re confronted by a bear that wants to attack you and you ' re with companions , they can Keep communicating clearly with companions when attacked by a bear . Tell each other what you ' re about to do as both reassurance and certainty of actions . Stay calm and try not to shout unless it ' s part of your noise strategy . Avoid leaving any person alone with the bear . The strategy should be to stick together as much as possibly , to help increase the impression of a group that is hard to part . Avoid leaving alone any individual who could be singled out for attacking . One person can collect sticks , dirt , etc . while the other person shouts at the bear to distract him . In particular , protect young or vulnerable people . Do your best to shield children or panicking persons who form part of your group . Keep them close so that the bear does n ' t perceive them as an easy pick and do your best to reassure them to dampen down fear or panic reactions . 10 Escape as soon as it ' s safe to do so . As stated earlier , do n ' t ever run . If you ' ve wounded a bear enough to stop her in her tracks temporarily , walk away as fast as you can , heading in a direction away from her and toward safety . Keep something defensive in your hands , such as dirt , pepper spray , sticks , etc . , in case you need to resort to defending yourself again in an instant . Try to move away noiselessly so as not to attract any more attention . It ' s probable that you will Whenever backing away from a bear , do so facing the bear so that you can continue to watch the bear . Speak in a low monotone , as if to reassure the bear ( and probably yourself ) . If you ' re in the Arctic , try to get back to a vehicle or shelter where possible . Unfortunately , you remain a clear target while exposed against the vast tracts of snow . Moreover , a polar bear has a keen sense of smell ( they can find a buried seal pup up to 2 kilometers away ! ) . 11 Be realistic . The suggestions in this article are just that – – suggestions . There is no one checklist for surviving a bear attack and what is provided here are generalizations drawn from a variety of sources based on people ' s own bear encounter experiences . None of these approaches are guarantees of survival in a future bear encounter , as how a bear will react depends largely on the context , on how you ( and any companions with you ) react and the bear ' s own reasons , which will only become apparent as your personal bear encounter Keep bear fear in perspective ; after reading an article like this , you might think bears are out to get you . On the whole , they are not , testified to by the fact that bears have ample opportunities to attack human beings that they do n ' t choose to act upon . Bears co - exist peacefully in most areas and the few rogue bears that cause problems are usually swiftly dealt with by the relevant authorities . You can help peaceful coexistence with bears by not feeding them ( to avoid food - conditioning ) Community Q&A Question What if a bear cub is in my campsite ? Community Answer If you know which direction the bear cub came from , carefully and slowly leave the campsite in the other direction . Speak quietly to your tent mates and tell them which direction they need to go . If you have bear spray and flashlights take them with you . Stay calm and never run , just back out of the campsite slowly . The mother is likely nearby and she will remove her cub in due time . Not Helpful 5 Helpful 51 Question Are bears afraid of fire ? Community Answer Not really . Bears are actually attracted to campfires . Always be prepared with pepper spray if you have a campfire , especially if you ' re cooking because they ' ll be attracted to the smell of food . Not Helpful 0 Helpful 9 Can I kick a male bear in the groin in self - defense if I ' m being attacked ? That ' s just going to make the bear more angry , it wo n ' t do anything helpful . Also , how would you be able to get a good look to make sure it ' s a male ? 1 14 What if the bear is a cyborg ? Well then , call the press ! We seem to have found the first robotic bear . I recommend finding the evil genius who made it and fighting to the death . 3 19 What do I do if my friend gets killed by the bear ? Then it is most likely that the bear is super aggressive , and as much as you want to mourn for them , you need to get away from the bear as quickly as possible . 13 47 What do you do if you are bleeding as the bear is hunting you down ? Find a way to temporarily mend the wound , as the blood loss is more of a problem than the bear at that moment . 11 41 Can a bear contract rabies ? It certainly can , but if you can get to a doctor within 24 hours of the bite ( or , if you are vaccinated , within approximately a week ) , you ' re safe . 7 28 How do I make a bear think I ' m not trying to attack it ? A bear typically wo n ' t think that you are trying to attack it - - unless you are already attacking it , or are too close to its cubs . 15 47 What happens when you face the same deadly bear situation like in the movie " The Revenant ?

Show more answers Unanswered Questions How do I know if a bear is bluff charging instead of attacking ? Answer this question Flag as . . . Ask a Question Tips It ' s recommended that if you ' re going into bear country that you rehearse what you ' d do if you did encounter a bear . Rehearsal allows the human mind to recognize that there is a set of things to repeat without thinking ( for example , stay calm , avoid making eye contact , make yourself appear larger , gently step back without running , etc . ) and if you do go blank with fear , you at least have body memory of what to do that is both sensible and more likely to increase If you see a bear watching your campsite , make a lot of noise to try to scare it off . Report the case to relevant authorities immediately , as the bear may be stalking . Using a firearm is something that few people want to do , or even know how to do . It is a possibility only for those who know what they ' re doing and in those unique situations where the alternative ( not having a firearm ) can prove lethal . Those working in remote areas , such as field biologists , oil explorers , intrepid remote hikers , etc . , may be psychologically comforted by having a firearm . Should you choose this path , know how to use the firearm , have it easily accessible and only Bears come out any time of the day or night ; you ' re no safer just because it ' s daytime . However , bears prefer dawn and dusk over midday foraging . And hiking at night is not advised in bear country – – bears may be about and you ca n ' t see , increasing the potential for an unwanted abrupt meeting . Just like humans , bears prefer the ways of least resistance . Hence , trails attract them , so be alert even when following trails . Make yourself look strong . The stronger you are and the louder you are might scare the bear off . Many bears are not concerned about built - up , developed areas . If there is food attracting them , they ' ll be there , you may simply not have seen them , for they are very secretive . If visiting a place known for its bears , talk to locals about the safety issues . If a brown bear does approach you , makes eye contact or seems threatening it is always wise to keep your cool and submit to his dominance . Brown bears will rarely see humans as food however there can be other reasons for attack . With this in mind should the bear approach slowly lower yourself down to crouch and speak gently in calming manner to the bear , as stated do n ' t take your eyes off the bear but do n ' t make eye contact . Do n ' t make sudden movements . Bears are Ways to avoid getting attacked by a bear include : Walk , hike or jog with others , preferably a larger group . Never cook in your tent or leave food in it ; never leave any highly aromatic item in a tent , such as toothpaste or deodorant . Avoid smelling like a candy store when in bear country . Leave the perfumes , after - shave and body lotions for urban wear instead . Never feed bears ; this conditions them to see human beings as food providers and it ' s one small step to seeing human beings as food . Always report bears caught watching campsites and human gatherings . Do n ' t hike , jog or walk in bear country at night . Make plenty of noise when in bear country , to avoid surprising a bear . Leash dogs ; they can get into a fight with a bear and it ' s one the dog will never win . Never spray pepper spray on tents , clothing , etc . If you do , it acts as an attractant to bears ! The residue smells like food , so it makes sense that it can attract bears when not actually sprayed on them in defense . Bear locations : Black bears are native to North America . They prefer forested areas . In the USA , they are found in forested areas throughout most of the northeast , northern midwest , the Rocky Mountain region , the west coast and Alaska . They appear to be expanding their range or remaining stable where they are already located in the USA . In Canada , black bears are found in most provinces although they are extinct on Prince Edward Island . The black bear does exist in a few parts of Mexico but it is endangered . There are about 50 black bears for every grizzly but each species is responsible for about a half each of all bear fatalities , which means that grizzlies are more dangerous than black bears overall . Brown bears like semi - open country , often in mountainous areas , and are found in Eurasia and North America – – about 95 % of brown bears in North America are in Alaska , with the remaining brown bears along and in the Rockies , in the western Great Plains and along the upper western coast ( grizzly bears can be found in the interior and coast ) . In Europe there are some brown bears in the Pyrenees ( highly threatened ) , and brown bears can also be found in Sweden , Finland , Romania , Sloth bears are native to the subcontinent of India . The Indian sloth bear inhabits forested and grassland regions of India , Bangladesh , Nepal , and Bhutan . The Sri Lankan sloth bear is found only on the island of Sri Lanka in lowland forests . Sloth bears are not very competitive over territories , though they are known to leave markings on trees with their claws and teeth . They might also leave their feces at the base of trees . Tree markings are most common around breeding season , however , and may have as much to And polar bears , adapted fully to snow and ice , are found in the Arctic Circle . Warnings Do n ' t try to save your gear . It can always be replaced , while you can not be . Pepper spray deteriorates in strength ; check by shaking the can ( two to three sloshes means it ' s good , continued sloshing means it ' s had it ) and check the use - by date before heading out to bear country . Be aware that the bear ' s prey drive may overcome his ability to distinguish his own pain and / or the threat you pose to him . Almost all small bears can climb trees . Larger bears have been known to knock them down . Do n ' t Run , because Black Bears can run up to 40 miles per hour and Grizzly Bears can run up to 35 miles per hour which are both faster than a human . The fastest human can only run up to 27 miles per hour . Just because Baloo from " The Jungle Book " is a gentle sloth bear , do NOT be fooled ! These bears are highly dangerous to humans ! Never provoke a bear . Never fight a bear to prove anything . Bears maim and kill with ease . All the same , most bears want to avoid a confrontation with humans , so provided you ' ve made your presence well known in advance , have not cut off the bear ' s route of escape or threatened her cubs , and have not provoked her , your chances of not being attacked are much better .

How to Survive a Shuttle Run Co - authored by Michele Dolan Explore this Article Training for a Shuttle Run Fueling Your Body Preparing to Run Show 1 more . . . Questions & Answers Related Articles References Unless you ’ re a track and field athlete or a cross country runner , the idea of doing a shuttle run is probably not extremely appealing . Actually , even if you are a competitive runner , it may not seem that appealing ! A shuttle run is a test that measures speed and agility . It is performed by placing two lines approximately thirty feet apart from each other . Runners begin on one line , run to the opposite and tap the line with their hand , run back to the first line , tap it , and repeat . In another variation , runners have to pick up small blocks at the opposite line and return them to the start line . While a shuttle run will certainly get you out of your comfort zone , you can absolutely survive a shuttle run by preparing for it properly . Part 1 Training for a Shuttle Run 1 Practice your side - standing long jump . When it comes to the shuttle run , lateral — or side to side — speed is key . The side - standing long jump can help to increase your lateral power , which in turn will increase your lateral speed . Squat low , with your feet planted hip width apart . Jump to the right side by exploding off your feet and covering as much distance as possible . Do the exact same to the left side . Keep your center of gravity low , and maintain this low stance throughout the drill . Distribute your weight evenly across your feet . Do five repetitions on each side to complete one set . Do three to five sets . 2 Do carioca running drills . You ’ ve probably seen this drill before , and maybe heard it called the “ grapevine . ” To do this , move sideways toward the right . Take normal side steps with your right foot , and alternate crossing your left foot in front of the right and then behind the right . Do this for a stretch to the right , and then for a stretch to the left , alternating your left foot to the front and back . Try to hold your arms in the same position you would hold them for a normal run This drill will help you become comfortable quickly crossing your feet over each other for fast , explosive acceleration from side to side , which you will need during your shuttle run . Do five reps to each side for three to five sets . 3 Run on hills . For a great shuttle run , you ultimately want strong , fast sprinting power . However , sprinting day in and day out can cause pulled muscles and injuries . By taking your sprints to the hills , your speed will naturally be slowed down despite doing the same amount of work . In other words , you can sprint as hard as you possibly can , thus improving your leg and cardiovascular strength , while protecting your legs with reduced speed and increased control . Keep your sprints short , generally between eight to ten seconds . Take a full recovery after each sprint . Focus on standing tall as you sprint up the hill , rather than bending over and leaning into the hill . 4 Reduce your risk of injury by doing these drills two to three times a week . Shuttle runs have been criticized for causing twisted ankles , falls , and other injuries . While any athletic endeavor can potentially cause injury , doing side - standing long jumps , carioca drills , and hill sprints regularly can help prepare your body . These training techniques will increase your agility and strength , and they will help you develop the muscle memory and proper skills for the quick and explosive shuttle run . 5 Incorporate jumping and sprinting exercises into your routine . There are a wide range of exercises that can help improve your performance . These include jumping lunges , squat jumps , slalom jumps , jumping jacks , tennis drills , and burpees . To do a tennis drill , face a net on a tennis or basketball court . Sprint from side to side while still facing the net . Next try sprinting from corner to corner while still facing the net . Part 2 Fueling Your Body Eat a high - carb meal the night before the run if you ' re competing . You might have heard of the concept “ carbohydrate loading , ” and it is something that many competitive runners do before a big race . Carbohydrates are a main source of energy for our body , so loading up on carbohydrates the night before your shuttle run is like filling your gas tank . This will help you avoid burning out in the middle of the sprints . Be careful not to go too far . It might be tempting to dive into a gigantic bowl of fettuccini alfredo in the name of athletic performance , but be careful not to overindulge . You can end up sabotaging yourself , and wake up with an upset stomach or feeling groggy and slowed down . Things like rice , peanut butter , potatoes , whole wheat pasta , whole wheat bread , and granola are excellent options for a pre - run dinner . This is a great idea if you ' re competing or running a timed test . If you ' re just doing the shuttle run as a training exercise , you may not need to carb - load beforehand . Sip water throughout the day . The importance of properly hydrating the days before your shuttle run can not be overstated , but do n ’ t over hydrate . If you chug large amounts of water the day before the run , you risk throwing your body out of whack and actually feeling dehydrated on the day of your run . Remember to hydrate by keeping a bottle of water handy at all times . Sip it slowly but steadily . If you do n ’ t enjoy drinking water and have difficulty drinking enough , sip on sugar - free sports drinks or juice diluted with water . Add 2 parts water to every 1 part juice . 3 Get enough rest . This applies to resting your legs before the run , as well as getting enough sleep . While you want your legs to be rested and ready for your race , you also do n ’ t want them to be rusty . In an ideal world , you can figure out what works best for you — maybe an intense workout followed by one day of rest is the best recipe , or maybe you need to do a low - intensity workout the night before . While you ’ re figuring out what exactly works best for you Try to get a full night ’ s sleep before you do your shuttle run . Sleep deprivation can hurt your performance . Everyone has different sleep requirements , but aim to get however many hours you know works best for you . Avoid training for a few days before the run . This is especially important if this run is a major competitive event or a test . Preparing to Run Eat another high - carb meal two hours before your run . The most important thing about your final meal before the run is to choose food that you have eaten before and know wo n ’ t upset your stomach . Bananas , toast , and oatmeal are all great options . Make sure you give your body enough time to digest , so that you are n ’ t running with an uncomfortably - full belly . In general , you should n ’ t be eating to the point of fullness on the day of your run at all — just eat enough to feel satisfied . Continue to drink water up to two hours before your run . By stopping your intake two hours before , you give your body enough time to process the water . You also give yourself time to use the restroom , which is important because running with a full bladder is not ideal or comfortable . Of course , you can take occasional sips of water as needed , just do n ’ t chug a large bottle of water right before you hit the start line . Wear comfortable shoes . When it comes to running , shoes are your most important ( and only ! ) pieces of equipment . For a fast shuttle run , you ’ ll want to wear light weight shoes that will keep your steps light and quick . Make sure that you ’ ve trained in whichever shoes you decide to wear for your shuttle run , because you need to know beforehand if they are slippery , painful , or any other potential downfalls . Make sure your shoelaces are double - knotted and out of the way , because you will be rapidly changing directions during the shuttle run and do n ’ t want to risk taking a spill ! 4 Warm up . Rather than doing static stretches right before your shuttle run , move around to get your blood flowing . Jump , jog , bounce your shoulders , swing your arms , and keep yourself moving . Get your heart rate up and get oxygen flowing to your muscles , so that you are ready to take off when you get to the start line . This can also help you shake off any pre - run jitters . Do n ’ t disregard stretching completely . You can incorporate a few stretches into your warm - up , but just make sure you are moving around and actively engaging the muscles as well . You can focus on static stretches more after you complete the run and are cooling off . Finding Your Mental Strength Allow your nerves to energize you . Instead of letting your nervousness overwhelm you before your run , think about using that energy to make your legs faster than ever . Having anxiety just means you are motivated to do well , so look at it as a positive thing . As you run , channel all of those doubts and concerns into your legs , using it to propel you through the run and to the finish line . Do n ' t let your nerves or anxiety cause you to be hard on yourself . Continuously tell yourself that you will give the best performance that you can give , but it is not a life or death situation . Positive self - talk can go a long way , so it ' s important to amp yourself up rather than expect the worst . Focus on one stretch of distance at a time . Rather than thinking about how far you have to go , just think about making it to one line at a time . Look at the line you are running to . Is it really that far ? You ’ ve probably run that distance before — maybe even dozens of times . Just get to that line , and do n ’ t think about what will come next . Your mental and physical strength can and will surprise you , just focus on the immediate task at hand . Breathe through your nose and out your mouth . These are calming breaths . They will help you conserve your energy , relax your muscles , and focus on the race in front of you . Try hard to keep your breathing steady , and focus on taking in as much air as possible . If you begin breathing rapidly , your breaths will be shallow and unhelpful . Deep breaths will deliver oxygen to your muscles more efficiently and help drive you toward the finish . Relax your mind and let your legs work . When you think of completing a sprint drill , “ relaxed ” is probably not the first word that comes to mind . However , when your mind is relaxed , your body becomes relaxed . When you let go of physical tension , your legs become efficient running machines . Try to clear your mind before you begin your run . When you are at the start line , remember that you have prepared fully for this moment and there is nothing left to do but complete the run , which will be over before you know it .

How to TIG Weld Author Info | Reader - Approved Explore this Article Setting Up the TIG Machine Welding Your Metal Learning Different Types of Welds Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References In Tungsten Inert Gas ( TIG ) welding , a tungsten electrode is used to heat the metal , while Argon gas protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants . TIG welding can be used to produce high - quality , clean welds on most materials , including steel , stainless steel , chromoly , aluminum , nickel alloys , magnesium , copper , brass , bronze , and gold . Follow the steps below to get your TIG welder up and running and start welding masterpieces today ! Method 1 Setting Up the TIG Machine 1 Put on safety gear . Before operating any welding machine , make sure to put on protective eyewear , thick , fire - resistant clothing , and a welding helmet with an eye shield . 2 Connect the TIG torch . All TIG torches have a ceramic nozzle for directing argon , a copper sleeve for holding an electrode , and some way of cooling themselves . Use the adapter from your accessory package to plug the torch into the front of your machine . 3 Plug your foot pedal into the machine . The foot pedal is used to control the heat at which you are welding . 4 Select the polarity . You will pick different settings based on the type of metal that you are welding . If you are using aluminum , place the welder on the alternating current ( AC ) setting . If you are using steel or other metals , place the welder on the DC Electrode Negative ( DCEN ) setting . If your welder has a high frequency setting , it will also need adjusting . For aluminum , the switch will need to be on continuous high frequency . For steel , it should be on high frequency start . 5 Grind the tungsten . The thickness of the metal to be welded and the welding current used determine the size of the tungsten rod . Make sure to grind in a radial direction around the circumference of the tungsten , not straight toward the ends . Use the face of a fine stone to grind the tungsten electrode . Grind so that the electrode is pointing in the same direction as the rotation of the stone as a safety precaution . Grind the tungsten to a balled tip for AC welding and a pointed tip for DC welding . To make a butt weld or open corner weld ground the tungsten to a five to six millimeter stick . 6 Set up the gas flow . You want to use a pure Argon gas or mixed Argon gas such as an Argon - Helium mixture . Remove the plastic protective cap . Shift the valve body by quickly opening and closing the valve to clean any debris out of the threaded valve body . Screw the regulator on , then screw the nut tight while simultaneously twisting the regulator until it is seated in the valve . Tighten the regulator using a spanner , making sure that the pressure knob is backed off counter - clockwise . Put on the gas hose and flowmeter , then turn on the cylinder valve . Make sure to turn on the cylinder valve gently and in small increments . Usually a quarter - turn revolution is enough . Finally , check for any leaks by listening for a wheezing sound or using an aerosol leak detector spray . Set the gas flow rate by adjusting the cylinder regulator . Though the rate may vary depending on your project , usually the rate stays between four and 12 liters ( 3.2 US gal ) per minute . 7 Set the amperage . The amperage allows you to regulate the control you have over the welding process . The thicker the metal , the higher the amperage . The more coordinated you get with the foot pedal , the higher you can leave the amperage . Some conventional current ratios are : 1.6mm , 30 to 120 amps ; 2.4mm , 80 to 240 amps ; 3.2mm , 200 to 380 amps . Method 2 Welding Your Metal Clean your welding material . Your surface must be clear of debris before you begin to weld . To prepare carbon steel , use a grinder or sander and polish it down to a bare , shiny metal . For aluminum , it is best to use a dedicated stainless steel wire brush . For stainless steel , just wipe down the weld area with some solvent on a rag . Make sure to store the rag and chemicals in a safe place before welding . Insert the tungsten electrode into its collet . Unscrew the back of the electrode holder on the collet , insert the tungsten electrode , and screw the back on again . Generally , the electrode should hang about 1 / 4 - inch away from the protective sheath on the collet . 3 Clamp the parts together . Use an angle iron and / or a flat bar with c - clamps to secure the parts you want to weld together . 4 Tack weld the parts together . A tack weld is a very small weld that is intended to hold a part in place until the final weld can be completed . Place tack welds every few inches where your two metals meet . 5 Hold the TIG torch in your hand . Be sure to hold it at about a 75 degree angle with the tungsten raised no more than 1 / 4 - inch off the metal . Do n ' t let the tungsten touch the work piece or it will contaminate your material . 6 Practice using the foot pedals to control the heat . Your weld puddle should be about 1 / 4 - inch wide . It is important to keep your puddle size consistent throughout the weld to avoid a messy finish . 7 Pick up the filler rod in your other hand . Hold it so it rests horizontally at a 15 degree angle from the work piece at the base where the torch will heat the piece . 8 Use your torch to heat up the base metal . The heat of the arc will create a puddle , a pool of molten metal that is used to fuse the two pieces of metal together . Once there is a puddle on both pieces of metal , tap the filler rod into the molten puddle in quick dabs to avoid clumping . The filler rod adds a reinforcement layer for your weld . 9 Advance the puddle in the desired direction using your arc . Unlike MIG welding , where you lead the puddle in the direction that the torch is leading , with TIG welding you push the puddle the opposite direction that the torch leans . Think of your hand motion as that of a left - handed person operating a pencil . While a right - handed person moves their pencil like a MIG weld , with the angles both tilted to the right , a left - handed person has their pencil tilted to the left , though they must push the pencil to the right . Continue to advance the puddle until you have welded the entire area desired and you ' ve completed a TIG weld ! Learning Different Types of Welds Fashion an easy fillet weld . Start off with a fillet weld to get the hang of TIG welding . A fillet weld is comprised of two metals joined at right angles . Run a weld puddle at a 45 degree angle to a 90 degree corner . A fillet weld should look like a triangle from the side . Weld a lap joint . Form the weld puddle between the edge of an overlapping piece of metal and the surface of the bottom piece of metal . When these pieces fuse together , dip the filler rod into the puddle . Make a T - joint to connect two pieces of metal at a right angle . Angle the torch so that there is direct heat on the flat surface of the metal . Hold a shorter arc by extending the electrode beyond the ceramic cone . Place the filler rod where the edge of the two metals meet . Melt a corner joint . Melt both edges of the metal where they meet in a point . Keep the weld puddle in the center of the joint where the two metals meet . You will need a significant amount of filler rod for a corner joint because the metals do not overlap . Create a butt weld . Center the weld pool on the adjoining edges of two pieces of metal . This requires more skill that the other types of weld because the metals do not overlap . When finishing , decrease the amperage to fill in the crater that forms . Community Q&A Question What should I do if the block sometimes cracks during TIG welding ? How do I cool the block down after welding ? Community Answer You may be doing too much welding at a time , and building up too much heat . Try a small bit at a time . Not Helpful 0 Helpful Question What is the filler rod comprised of ? Community Answer Unlike stick or MIG welding , TIG uses argon or helium to protect the weld , so the filler rod is only comprised of your filler metal and a " coating " on the rod to protect the filler until it ' s used , which is usually copper . Not Helpful 0 Helpful What is cleaned tungsten ? Tungsten is a incredibly strong metal . You can clean it easily with warm soapy water . How do I know what amperage to set on different types of metals ? There should be a chart on your machine that has specific labels on what size metal to how much amperage it puts out . If nothing is on your welder , either look in the manual or look it up . Can I weld iron with TIG welding ? Yes , you can use TIG welding to weld iron . Unanswered Questions A while back an old timer showed me a technique where he melted a ball of aluminum ahead of the weld pool and then used capillry action to bring it back to the joint . Any knowledge of this ? Answer this question Flag as . . . How do I TIG weld using a welding machine ? Answer this question Flag as . . . Ask a Question Can you answer these readers ' questions ? On How to Remove a Name from a Mortgage Without Refinancing , a reader asks : How can I remove my sick parent from a mortgage ? Warnings Do not use Argon mixed with CO2 as your shielding gas . CO2 is an active gas and will destroy the tungsten electrode . Protect your face with a welding helmet that has a proper shade with filter lenses . Wear dry insulating gloves before turning on the welding machine . Wear safety glasses with side shields under your helmet shade . Wear durable , flame - resistant clothing and footwear when operating a welding machine . Tips If your metal is clean , no sparks will be produced as you weld . TIG welds can be made in all positions , including flat , horizontal , and overhead . No smoke or fumes should be produced as a result of TIG welding . If smoke or fumes occur , you may need to clean the metal more thoroughly . The secret of TIG welding lies mostly in getting the weld pool to form simultaneously on both pieces of metal . No flux is used in TIG welding and there is no slag to block your view of the weld puddle . As the gas tank nears its end , you will want to raise the flow rate because the mix of gases is not as pure at the bottom of the tank .

How to Take Care of a Pregnant Rabbit Author Info | Reader - Approved | 45 References Explore this Article Steps Article Summary Video Questions & Answers Related Articles Though bunnies are well known for how fast they reproduce , pregnant rabbits still need a lot of care and support to make it to term successfully . Thankfully , there are plenty of things you can do to ensure your doe ’ s pregnancy goes as smoothly as possible . Steps 1 Check if your rabbit is pregnant . Medium to large size rabbits are sexually mature at 4 to 4.5 months , while giant breeds are ready at 6 to 9 months . If your female rabbit is at this stage of maturity and you have reason to suspect that she has been breeding , then check for pregnancy as follows . A pregnancy can be detected between 10 to 14 days after mating , with 12 days being optimal ; between these days , the fetuses will start to grow rapidly , causing them to be detectable by touch , and they will feel like the size of grapes . Be gentle when feeling for them ! Be aware that false pregnancy is common in rabbits so even if you find all the signs , you are probably best checking in with your vet as well . These are some of the other signs that your rabbit is pregnant : In the third week , your doe may begin to show increased abdomen size . You may also see slight movement . She starts to have mood swings and is easily annoyed . She may also not want to be held or stroked . Your doe may begin growling at you or act differently towards you . She may begin resting on her side more to deal with discomfort of the growing kits engorging her abdomen space . When there are around two to three days left of pregnancy , she will begin nesting . This typically consists of her pulling out her fur . Note that none of these signs alone are sufficient to diagnose pregnancy . Rabbits do have false pregnancies due to hormonal fluctuations , they can also gain weight and dig in the bowls for other reasons . And conversely , many pregnant does show no signs of pregnancy until a few minutes before they are ready to kindle . 2 Expect the pregnancy of your doe to run for 31 to 33 days . It is possible that a doe with a smaller litter ( say four kits or less ) will have a slightly longer pregnancy than a doe with a litter that is larger than four . The main concern is to know the start of the pregnancy ( you may need your vet ' s help ) , as the time of birthing should not go beyond 32 days , in which case your doe needs to see the vet promptly . Without inducing labor after day 32 , a litter of dead kits is likely by day 34 . 3 Provide proper and complete nutrition for your doe during pregnancy . Your doe will need special changes to her diet to ensure that she is getting adequate nutrition ; a doe with nutritional deficiencies may abort or reabsorb the fetuses . Due to her carrying more weight , she will need extra nutrition to her eating habits . Provide her with high quality food along with fresh , clean unlimited amounts of water . Slowly make changes to her diet ( rabbits should always experience gradual dietary changes ) to include foods like : carrots , celery , cucumber , lettuce , rabbit pellets , stacks of hay , tomatoes , parsley . A diet of alfalfa hay instead of grass hay should be instituted , as well as offering more rabbit pellets than normal . Ensure access to clean water at all times . As she is pregnant , her body will be demanding more . Mix up the vegetables above into a salad with a bowl of water . A couple of days before delivery , cut back on food but not water . Doing so will mean that your doe will have a less chance of experiencing medical problems such as mastitis and ketosis . Cut the diet down to fifty percent of normal amount two days before the expected birth date . Once over , gradually go back to her normal diet and she should be back to normal within one to two weeks of kindling . 4 Provide your doe with a nest box . A nest box is where she will give birth and take care of her young . The nest box is essential because kits are born naked , blind , and deaf and have no ability to regulate their own temperature until day 7 . Nest boxes can be purchased from pet stores , and should at least 4 inches ( 10cm ) wider and longer than the doe . The nest box should be provided to your doe 26 days into her gestation period . Your doe will pick fur from her own body ( dewlap , belly , and thighs ) for her nest box , but you can help her by providing her with straw and paper If you decide to build your own nesting box , use clean wood , but never use plywood or particle board , as these products contain high concentrations of formaldehyde , which is toxic and can cause not only epithelial respiratory drying , but also permanent respiratory passage and neurological damage . 5 Be aware of the possible problems associated with a rabbit pregnancy . Forewarned is always forearmed and you ' re better at preventing problems if you know what might crop up . With a pregnant rabbit , the following problems can arise : Mastitis – This is an inflammation of the mammary glands found on the rabbit ' s belly . At the time of being about to deliver , your doe ' s mammary glands will fill with milk for feeding the kits . Mastitis occurs if bacteria gets into the milk duct and travels into the mammary gland . This can occur as a result of a poorly formed gland ( talk to your vet about checking your doe ' s glands prior to birth ) , or because she is in an unhygienic environment ( ensure that her bedding , The real tragedy is that an infected gland that is not caught in time will pass infected milk on to the kits and they ' ll die . Check the doe every day post - birth to see any signs of swelling or redness , indicators of possible mastitis ; if the mammary glands are blue , then the infection is very severe . Other signs include refusing to drink and eat , running a fever , and appearing depressed . Get her straight to the vet as she needs immediate antibiotic care . Pregnancy toxemia – This can occur in a doe that has not received adequate nutrition during pregnancy ( and false pregnancy ) , so it is important to ensure that your doe gets a high energy diet for late pregnancy , that she does not fast , and that she does not get obese . It can occur either late in pregnancy or after delivery and occurs most in Dutch , Polish , and English rabbit breeds . The symptoms include acting depressed , weakness , lack of coordination , and convulsions . If left untreated , she can die within hours , so get her to the vet immediately for treatment with an IV drip and dextrose . Killing her young – Some does will kill and eat their young . The reasons for this vary and it pays to remove any possible reasons : ensure that the nesting area is warm at all times , remove kits that fail to nurse , keep the nest clean , and keep other pets ( especially dogs ) away from the nest to reduce the doe ' s nervousness . Do not use a rabbit for breeding if she kills two litters in a row . 6 Know what to expect at the birth ( kindling ) . You should have a good idea of your rabbit ' s gestation period , either because you know from breeding timing , or you have consulted with your vet and got an agreed date of expected delivery . Some things to be aware of when your doe is giving birth include : Kindling usually occurs in the morning . Most rabbit births occur quickly , born head or feet first . However , some labor can continue for a day or two , before all kits have arrived . Dystocia , or a problem giving birth , is not usual with rabbits , so you probably wo n ' t need to help her give birth . Do be sure that the area is quiet , free of anything that could make her nervous , such as noise , other pets , unusual lights , too much heat or cold , etc . Anything that causes her to be too excited or threatened can bring her to harm or eat her kits . 7 Once all kits are born , check to see if everything is fine . Make sure they are healthy , breathing and drinking their mother ' s milk . A litter can contain up to a dozen kits . Once born , the dam will nurse them , but not continuously . Provide her with continuous fresh water as it ' s vital for a nursing rabbit . It can be fun having newborn rabbits , but do not disturb the dam or the kits . Disturbing them can stress and frighten them . Wait a couple hours , then offer your doe a favourite treat to keep her occupied while you check the kits . Remove any dead kits , as they can rot and infect the healthy ones . Once done , cover them back up with nesting material and leave them be . If you find that there are more kits than the nipples ( 8 to 10 nipples ) , they can be fostered in the first three days to a doe with a smaller litter . Just be sure to cover them with the fur from the new doe to get them accepted , and try moving the stronger , larger kits to increase the success of the transfer . Unfortunately , raising kits by hand tends to have a high death rate . Does will nurse only once to twice daily , with each kit getting about three minutes of feeding time . 8 Take care of the kits and the doe together . Kits will nurse at least until about 4 to 5 weeks , as which point they are weaned by the doe slowing down her milk production . Keep an eye on the doe ' s general health and the manner in which she interacts with her kits . If there is any aggressive behavior , deal with it as needed or call your vet to discuss . Some things to bear in mind with new kits : Kits with a sunken stomach are not getting enough milk ; a full stomach is a sign of proper feeding . Some people recommend not to touch newborn rabbits as they will get the human scent on them and the dam will eat them out of fear or rejection . This is a myth ! Domestic rabbits are already used to the smell and presence of humans . Most importantly , you should handle a kit if it falls out of the nest , as she wo n ' t try to put it back in . Upon opening their eyes at about 10 days of age , check for eyes stuck shut or for infections Until the age of 8 months , keep kits fed on rabbit pellets . Leave the kits with mother until 6 - 7 weeks of age . At this point , if the litter is large , you can remove the largest pair or trio and place them in their own cage . This will give a chance to the smaller ones to nurse for a week longer and catch up in weight . Kits should all be removed from mother by 8 weeks , as the doe may get nippy at them and try to shake them off . This also gives the kit a chance to explore its new environment . 9 Find suitable homes for the kits . Whether or not the breeding was intentional , it ' s important to find a good home for the rabbit babies . If the pregnancy was accidental , take all precautions to prevent impregnation again in the future ; the phrase " to breed like rabbits " is n ' t a cliché without good reason and there is such an over - abundance of rabbits in the world that human - caused additions are not helping . Consider getting your does spayed and your bucks neutered to prevent future " surprise " pregnancies , if this one was such For information on breeding rabbits , see How to breed rabbits for more information . Be aware ! Re - breeding can occur any time from 72 hours after your doe has given birth ! This means taking care to keep her away from male rabbits from the moment of birth . Community Q&A Question Can another rabbit be in the same pen that the rabbit is in after it gives birth ? Community Answer Do n ' t do this . It could stress out the doe and possibly cause her to eat her kits . Give her the space she needs as a new mom . Not Helpful 9 Helpful 127 Question Do you remove male rabbits upon the doe giving birth ? Community Answer You remove the buck the minute you find out your doe is pregnant . The buck can impregnate the doe again right after she gives birth , so do n ' t wait . Not Helpful 23 Helpful 196 How many kits ( baby rabbits ) can a doe ( female rabbit ) provide as a first time mom ? The average litter size is four to twelve . However , the possibilities are unpredictable , such as a doe having four kits the first time and only two kits on the second . You can feel the rabbits stomach to estimate how many rabbits are growing in there . 16 137 Will my buck eat his kits ? It is not uncommon for a buck to eat kits . As long as you keep the buck in a separate cage , he wo n ' t be able to eat his young . 12 103 How warm does it have to be for a doe to give birth ? The doe will do fine with her own temperature , but it is very important to make sure the kits are warm . They can not make their own body heat yet . This is one of the main reasons for the nest and plucked fur . 12 101 Can a female rabbit be in the same cage with a pregnant rabbit or will it destroy the kits and the nest ? No , you can not put another female in with a pregnant doe . Keep females separated regardless of pregnancy because they tend to be very territorial and will attack each other . 14 89 How long do I have to wait until I can sell the kits ? You have to wait until the kits are about 2 months old . 26 135 Will it be okay to keep a male in a cage near the pregnant doe ' s cage ? Yes . As long as they ca n ' t reach each other , it should be fine . 26 131 Can the rabbit mate with other bucks if pregnant ? No , this will cause much stress and the doe will likely run away or hide in a ball if the male is trying to mate . 54 Why is my rabbit eating the fur she shed ? Its likely that she is grooming herself , or she ' s trying to get rid of the excess fur from a molt .

Ask a Question wikiHow Video : How to Take Care of a Pregnant Rabbit Tips An average litter size will be 7 to 8 kits but can range anywhere from one to 22 . Separate the pregnant doe from any other rabbits , especially the buck . Keep a schedule of when you last bred the rabbits , so you wo n ' t be surprised if the doe gives birth again . There is a lot involved in raising a litter , especially if you ' ve opted to raise by hand . Do thorough research so that you ' re aware of all the issues from food to handling . Be on the lookout for predators . Place chicken wire or extra fencing around your garden to detour unwanted predators . Usually a doe makes a nest in a tight space , most likely behind something big like a rock . Most kindling births happen at late night or early morning . It can last for up to 2 days . Birth problems are rare in rabbits . When the time is near , do n ' t disturb your doe . She will need a peaceful environment while delivering . Kits are also known as kittens . Show 2 more tips Warnings Do not check until all kits are safely born , and the rabbit has recovered from delivery . If your doe experiences medical problems , contact your vet immediately . Breeding of any animal should not be taken lightly ; it is a huge responsibility to look after a breeding animal and its offspring . Do not breed rabbits unless you really know what you ' re doing and have good reasons as to why bringing more rabbits into the world through your attentions is a worthwhile pursuit . Rabbits are perfectly capable of breeding without human intervention , and often human involvement weakens the rabbit bloodline by keeping the weaker animals , interbreeding with closely related rabbits , and breeding rabbits too often , taking a significant toll on Rapid changes in a rabbit ' s diet are dangerous because they change the rabbit ' s intestinal environment and the rapid changes in intestinal flora that help the rabbit to digest her food can end up being toxic .

How to Tan a Hide Author Info | Reader - Approved Explore this Article Using Brain Oils Using Tanning Chemicals Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References If you hunt deer and other animals for their meat , why not use their hides as well ? Treating a hide with a tanning process ensures you ' ll end up with a supple piece of leather that can be used to make shoes and clothing or hung on the wall . Read on for two methods for tanning a hide : a traditional method that requires using the animal ' s natural brain oils and a quicker chemical method . Method 1 Using Brain Oils 1 Flesh the hide . Fleshing the hide is the process of scraping off the flesh and fat , which prevents the hide from rotting . Place the hide on a fleshing beam ( a beam designed to hold the hide in place as you work ) or on a tarp on the ground . Use a fleshing blade to scrape off all visible traces of flesh and fat using quick , strong strokes . Flesh the hide immediately after cutting the hide from the animal ' s body . If you wait more than a few hours , the hide will begin to decompose , and it will fall apart during the tanning process . Be careful not to damage the hide as you scrape . Do n ' t use a knife not intended to be used for fleshing , since it might puncture or scratch the hide . 2 Wash the hide . Use clean water and soap made from natural substances to wash away dirt , blood , and other impurities before you begin softening the skin . 3 Dry the hide . Let it dry out for a few days to prepare it for the tanning process . Bore holes along the edge of the hide and use twine to attach it to a drying rack . These wooden racks , which can be purchased at game shops , hold the hide in place as it thoroughly dries . Make sure that the hide is actually stretched , not just hung , on the drying rack . The more the hide is stretched , the larger it will be once the tanning process is complete . If you stretch your hide over a wall or barn , make sure there ' s ample space for air to circulate between the hide and the wall , or it wo n ' t dry properly . The drying process can take up to a week , depending on your climate . 4 De - hair the hide . Take the hide off of the dryer and use a rounded steel blade with a handle or an elk antler hide scraper to remove the hair from the hide . This ensures that the tanning solution can thoroughly soak the skin . Carefully scrape the hair and the epidermis from the hide . If the hair is long , cut it first . Scrape against the grain of the hair , and scrape away from yourself . Be careful near the belly area , since the skin there is thinner than the skin on the rest of the hide . 5 Brain the hide . The oils in an animal ' s brain provide a natural tanning method , and each animal has a brain just big enough to tan its entire hide . Cook the animal ' s brain and a cup of water until the brain breaks down and the mixture resembles soup . Place it in a blender so it is completely smooth . Take the following steps to apply the brain to the hide : Wash the hide with water . This removes any remaining grease and debris and makes the hide more malleable , so it will be better able to absorb brain oils . Wring the hide out , so it will be able to take in the oils . Squeeze out the excess water by placing the hide between two towels and squeezing , then repeating the process with two dry towels . Rub the brain mixture into the hide . Make sure you cover every inch of the hide . Roll up the hide and store it in a large plastic freezer bag or food storage bag . Put it in the refrigerator to let the brains soak in for at least 24 hours . 6 Soften the hide . Now that the oils have soaked into the hide , it ' s ready for softening . Take the hide out of the refrigerator and place it back on the drying rack . Wipe off as much of the brain mixture as possible . Use a heavy stick or a hide breaker to soften the hide by running the tool back and forth across it . You can also have a partner help you stretch and soften it by taking it off the drying rack and pulling on the edges from either side . Continue doing so until you are both tired , then place it back on the rack and use the hide breaker to keep working the hide . A heavy rope can also be used to soften the hide . Have a partner hold one side of the rope and work together to rub it back and forth against the hide . 7 Smoke the hide . When the skin is soft , pliable , and dry it is ready to be smoked . Stitch up any holes in the hide , then sew it up the sides of the hide to make a bag . Close one end so it is tight enough to hold the smoke . Invert the skin bag over a hole about a foot across and half that deep . Use sticks to make a rough frame to hold the skin bag open , and tie the closed end to a tree or use another long stick to keep it held up Once the little fire has a coal bed built up , start adding smoke chips to it and peg the skin around the hole . A little channel tunneled out to one side will allow you to keep the fire supplied . After smoking the first side for half an hour , turn the bag inside out and smoke the other side . Method 2 Using Tanning Chemicals Flesh the hide . Fleshing the hide is the process of scraping off the flesh and fat , which prevents the hide from rotting . Place the hide on a fleshing beam ( a beam designed to hold the hide in place as you work ) or on a tarp on the ground . Use a fleshing blade to scrape off all visible traces of flesh and fat using quick , strong strokes . Flesh the hide immediately after cutting the hide from the animal ' s body . If you wait more than a few hours , the hide will begin to decompose , and it will fall apart during the tanning process . Be careful not to damage the hide as you scrape . Do n ' t use a knife not intended to be used for fleshing , since it might puncture or scratch the hide . Salt the hide . After fleshing , immediately lay the hide in the shade on a tarp and cover it with three to five pounds of salt . Make sure it is completely coated . Over the course of a couple of weeks , continue salting the hide until it has become crispy . If you see a pool of liquid emerge from an area of the hide , cover it with more salt . 3 Gather tanning equipment . Tanning solution is made from a combination of household ingredients and chemicals you ' ll need to source elsewhere . Gather the following ingredients : 2 gallons ( 7.6 L ) water 1 1 / 2 gallons ( 7.6 L ) bran flake water ( Make this by boiling 1 1 / 2 gallons of water and pouring it over a pound of bran flakes . Let the mixture sit for one hour , then strain and reserve the water . ) 8 cups salt ( not iodized ) 1 1 / 4 cups battery acid 1 box baking soda 2 large trash cans 1 large stick , for stirring and moving hides 4 Tan the hide . Begin by soaking the hide in clean water until it is soft and pliable , so it will absorb the tanning chemicals more easily . When the hide is ready to tan , peel off its dried inner skin . Then take the following steps to tan the hide : Put the salt in a trash can and pour 2 gallons ( 7.6 L ) of boiling water inside . Add the bran flake water and stir until the salt has completely dissolved . Add the battery acid . Make sure you wear gloves and take other precautions to prevent getting burned . Put the hide in the trash can , punching it down with the stick to make sure it is completely covered in liquid . Let it soak for 40 minutes . 5 Wash the hide . Fill the second trash can with clean water while the hide is soaking in the tanning solution . After 40 minutes have passed , use the stick to move the hide from the tanning solution to the clean water . Swish it around to wash off the solution . When the water looks dirty , pour it out , refill it with clean water , and wash the hide for another 5 minutes . If you plan to use the hide to make clothing , add a box of baking soda to the rinse to neutralize the remaining acid . This will prevent the acid from harming people ' s skin . If you do n ' t plan to use the hide to make clothing , you can forgo the box of baking soda , since in neutralizing the acid it lessens the acid ' s effectiveness in preserving the hide . 6 Drain and oil the hide . Remove the hide from the rinse and hang over a beam to drain . Swab it with neat foot oil to condition the skin . 7 Stretch the hide . Hang the hide on a stretcher or hide dryer to finish the process . Place it in a place out of the sun to dry . After a few days the hide should feel dry and flexible . Take it down from the rack and go over the skin side with a wire brush until it has a suede - like appearance . Let the hide finish drying until it is fully dry , which should take a few more days . Community Q&A Question These methods both involve losing the hair . What if you want to retain it to use as a fur ? Community Answer Skip the hair removal step , then rub the brain solution onto the bare side , working it in thoroughly . Fold the hide in such a way that the brain solution does n ' t get onto the fur side . Then follow the rest of the steps . Not Helpful 15 Helpful 75 Question How do I tan a hide like a Native American and without using any modern technologies ? Community Answer Natives still had Access to salt , smoke and water , and also used the animal ' s urine to help cure the hide . There is a curing process that was accomplished with these techniques , but with more primitive methods , like using stone or glass to cut away the flesh instead of modern steel or aluminum . Not Helpful 0 Helpful 8 Why do I have to take the hair off ? Taking the hair off is mostly for aesthetic purposes . Many people find hairless leather easier to take care of than fur . If you really want to , you can leave the hair on . Be sure to only apply the solutions to the leather side , and not the hair side . 13 41 How do you tan a hide if you want to keep the hair on the hide ? Try using Borax laundry detergent . Flesh the hide , cover it in Borax and let it sit for 3 - 4 days . 32 68 What can I do to hold a hide for several months before tanning ? Perhaps try salting the hides well , drying them and storing them in a dry place . The hides must be soaked in water to release the salt before tanning . 16 Can you tan a hide after it has been frozen ? Yes . It may take a little more work to get it to soften , but you can keep pelts for six months or more in the freezer . If you kept the face on a pelt , the freezer would do damage to the nose , lips and eyelid areas , and they would n ' t look as good . 9 19 What kind of salt can I use to tan a hide ? Rock salt is more water absorbent . Sea salt tends to corrode the leather . 9 How can I keep the brain fresh while drying the hide ? Put it in a Ziploc or rubber storage container in the fridge . If it ' s going to take you a while you can put it in the freezer and take it out to thaw in the fridge the day before you ' re ready to use it . How do I tan a hide and have it become soft ? After you tanned it , while it ' s still moist , pull and stretch and work it over an edge until it ' s completely dry . What can I use to flesh a hide if I do n ' t have a fleshing tool and beam ?

How to Tease Your Hair Coauthored by Ashley Adams In this Article Prepping Your Hair Teasing Your Hair Styling Your Teased Hair Community QA 17 References If your hair is thin or tends to fall flat you may be searching for a way to add some volume Teasing or backcombing is a great way to do just that First you should wash dry and brush your hair Then youll be ready to tease and style your hair in a way that best represents you Part 1 Prepping Your Hair 1 Shampoo your hair as you normally would Before you start teasing your hair wet your hair in the shower or underneath a bath or sink faucet until its completely saturated Then massage a shampoo of your choice into your scalp to create a lather Rinse the shampoo out completely Wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo to give your hair a little more lift 2 Skip the conditioner after you shampoo Because conditioner softens hair and makes it smooth it may keep your teased hair from holding its texture Wash your hair with shampoo and dont follow up with a conditioner If you have especially dry hair apply some conditioner to only the ends of your hair This should help to keep it from looking dry while also not interfering with the teased areas 3 Dry your hair to avoid damage Teasing your hair when its wet will likely damage it You can let your hair air dry completely before you tease it but you may get more volume by blowing it dry Flip your head over and focus on drying the root area Apply a volumizing product such as mousse after you wash your hair and before you dry it to create some more lift 4 Use dry shampoo as an alternative If you dont have time to wash your hair and blow it dry apply dry shampoo to your roots This should add the appearance of volume and freshness you need in order to create a solid teased hairstyle 5 Brush out your tangles Depending on the thickness and texture of your hair you can use a paddle brush or a widetooth comb to detangle your hair Start at the ends of your hair and work your way up towards the roots to avoid pulling your hair out By brushing out your hair youll prevent tangles from getting caught when you tease your hair Part 2 Teasing Your Hair 1 Hold up a 1 2 inch 13 cm section of hair at your crown Create the section at your crown with the tail end of a rat tail comb Pull the section straight up away from your head and hold it taut to get the best results While teasing the crown is the most common method you may want a bolder look for a Halloween costume or to get an 80s hairstyle If youre going for a more extreme look section all of your hair not just the hair at your crown 2 Comb the hair down towards your scalp 3 times Use a rat tail comb or a small boarbristle brush to comb the back of your section from about midshaft down to your root area Be gentle to avoid damaging your hair 3 Clip each section towards the front of your head After youve finished teasing the first section pull it forward and clip it to your roots near the front of your head with a long hair clip This should keep the alreadyteased hair out of the way while you tease other sections 4 Create new sections underneath the first section and tease them Use the tail end of your rat tail comb to create another 1 2 inch 13 cm section just underneath the original section of hair Tease the back of the new section and then clip it to the front of your head on top of the first section Do this for all of your sections If you want more volume and youve already teased a few sections this way add a couple of sections at your crown that are just to the left and right Clip these forward as you did with other sections 5 Smooth the surface of your hair with the comb Once youve finished teasing your sections unclip them and lay them all back down naturally against your head Gently comb over the surface of the sections to smooth them out without removing volume 6 Spray the teased hair with a flexible hold waterfree hairspray After youve gotten your hair the way you want it to be spray some hairspray over the area to keep it intact for as long as possible Flexible hold waterfree hairspray should keep your hair in place effectively without making it look stiff If youre leaving your hair down then your look is complete at this point Part 3 Styling Your Teased Hair 1 Lift your hair with a hair pick to enhance volume To get a little more height slide a hair pick into your teased hair Then gently lift the pick up while its in your hair Repeat this in different areas where your hair is teased until it looks uniformly taller 2 Wear your hair in a fancy fluffedup ponytail Tease a couple of sections of hair at the front center of your head starting just behind your hairline Smooth the surface back with a comb spray it with hairspray and put your hair in a ponytail Wrap a piece of hair around the hair tie to hide it and secure the piece with a bobby pin Then hold your ponytail up and comb down from midshaft towards your hair tie 3 Try a voluminous halfup halfdown look After teasing your crown make a part that goes horizontally across your head and passes just in front of your ears Use a few bobby pins to secure the teased hair at the back center of your head Finally gather all of the hair thats on the side of the part closest to your face Comb it back gently over your teased hair and secure it at the back center of your head with a clip 4 Brush your hair from tips to roots to get it back to normal After youve rocked a teased hairstyle its important to carefully and patiently brush through your hair The teasing will likely have made your hair feel knotted and matted but you can detangle it with a soft bristle brush Slowly and gently brush small sections of your hair from tips to roots until its completely detangled If you struggle to brush the tangles out of your hair try applying more conditioner than you normally would Apply it before shampooing then rinse it out and wash your hair as you normally would Community QA

How to Tell if Someone Is Avoiding You Coauthored by wikiHow Staff ReaderApproved In this Article Identifying Avoidance Behavior Understanding Avoidance Dealing with Avoidance Community QA It can be hard to tell whether someone is avoiding you Theres a chance that your paths just havent crossed There are telltale signs however maybe youve seen himher around but she hasnt even looked at you Maybe you left himher a message on Facebook two weeks ago but she hasnt bothered to answer Imagine yourself in this persons shoes and try to understand why he or she might be avoiding you Method 1 Identifying Avoidance Behavior 1 Notice a sudden dropoff in communication Be aware when a person stops contacting you even sporadically The person may not even bother to speak with you in person perhaps heshe only contacts you via email text message and social media If you consider yourself friendly or romanticallylinked with someone but she suddenly stops talking to you it could be a sign that she is avoiding you Consider that your friend may just be busy and may legitimately want to see you They might send a message like Sorry I havent returned your calls Im just so busy with school right now Lets get together next week when I have more time However if you continue to get these messages week after weekor no message at allthen you can assume that they are trying to avoid you 2 Identify when someone is making excuses not to spend time with you Perhaps they keep blaming their busy work schedule or their hectic social life or maybe something always seems to come up If a person is consistently finding reasons to back out of plans theres a chance that they are avoiding you Dont be too harsh Things do come up and this person might legitimately feel overwhelmed by their hectic schedule Excuses indicate avoidance but they do not necessarily mean that the person doesnt want to spend time with you 3 Try to make eye contact If you encounter this person face to face try to look himher in the eyes If heshe is avoiding you odds are that heshe wont make eye contact with you If she does it may just be brief or she may roll his eyes 4 Send the person a few messages and watch the response If you send a simple Hey Whats up message and they havent responded by a few days later they might not want to talk to you Try again if you dont hear back but dont accuse them of anything just try to strike up a normal conversation If they dont respond to this second message dont keep pushing the issue Respect their reasons for avoiding you and do not give them even more reason to avoid you Some messaging services show you when a recipient has read your message Use this to gauge whether youre being ignored If she reads all of your messages but never responds this indicates at least that she isnt interested in holding a message conversation If your messages dont show up as read or seen you might be able to tell that shes online from the Chat bar or the timing of herhis other posts Use your knowledge of the persons technology habits If you know that your friend doesnt log on to Facebook very often it might be completely in character for herhim to miss your message However if shes constantly on Facebook but shes doesnt respond to your messages it seems likely that shes avoiding you 5 Listen for short disengaged answers If you manage to start a conversation with the person notice if theyre giving only short monotone answers They may just be trying to deflect your questions so that they can slip away For example you say Hey we havent talked in a while How are you they say Fine and walk away This could indicate that your friend is avoiding you 6 Be aware of how the potentially avoidant person treats you in a group setting If the friend makes a point to talk to everyone except for you they might be avoiding you Avoidance doesnt necessarily mean that someone wont spend time with you it may just mean that they dont acknowledge your presence Try to say something directly to the friend and see how they respond If the friend responds quickly and curtly then turns awayor does not respond at alltheres a good chance that your friend is avoiding you Compare this treatment to how the person acts oneonone Perhaps she only avoids you in group settings or perhaps he quickly slips away as soon as its just the two of you Try to figure out whether he does this with other people or just with you Notice whether the person leaves the room when you enter If this happens consistently it may indicate that heshe doesnt want to spend time with you 7 Consider whether this person respects your opinion If this person doesnt ask for your input in meetings or friendly discussions it may indicate that heshe is trying to ignore you Perhaps she doesnt ask you how you feel about decisions perhaps she doesnt even react when you weigh in with your perspective 8 Dont put up with someone whos stringing you along Consider whether you are a priority in hisher life Someone might be avoiding you if heshe doesnt make time for you Perhaps this person is uncomfortable committing and wants you to be content to go with the flow Look for these indicators that you may not be a priority The relationship doesnt progress it sputters through dramatic skips and hops or it stagnates or it actually sets you back This person is only around when heshe wants something from you This includes money attention sex or just an ear to talk to Consider whether you are being consistently used They only make plans at the last minute Heshe may just show up at your door or text you late at night without even trying to make plans Method 2 Understanding Avoidance 1 Ask yourself why this person might be avoiding you Perhaps you had an argument or a fallingout maybe you said something to offend the person without realizing it or you may have been making him or her feel uncomfortable in some way Think carefully about your behavior and try to identify a reason 2 Look for patterns Examine the circumstances whenever you feel avoided and notice whether any common threads run between each instance Maybe this person avoids you at certain times or with certain people maybe it has to do with you or maybe it has to do with them Put the pieces together and try to understand why Does this person seem to avoid you at certain times or when you are doing certain things For instance maybe youve recently begun to experiment with drugs and your friend doesnt like to see you in an altered state Does this person avoid you when you are with certain people Perhaps you arent the one theyre avoiding or maybe they dont like how you act around a particular group Maybe your friend is shy or introverted she is always down for a oneonone conversation but disappears quickly when you show up with a large group Does this person avoid you when heshe is trying to work or study Maybe your friend loves to spend time with you in a relaxed social setting but finds it hard to get any work done when youre around 3 Think about how you are trying to contact the person If your friend or significant other is present and engaging in person but never responds to your texts heshe might just not like communicating over text This may especially be the case if your friend leads a very busy or disciplined life it can be hard to take the time for a deep involved text conversation when youre constantly working studying or practicing 4 Consider that people grow apart Gauge whether the person has changed since she started avoiding you and if so how much he has changed Perhaps hes begun hanging out with a new group of friends maybe hes gotten wrapped up in a new love interest maybe hes busy with a new sport or hobby that isnt really your thing It is a beautiful thing to be close to someone but people change and things fall apart If you can tell that someone is moving on it might be time for you to move on too Also consider how you have changed Maybe this person acts the same as he always has but you have begun to act differently Perhaps youve started running with a new crowd of friends or youve picked up a habit that bothers your friend or you simply havent been as available Growing apart does not mean that you cant grow back together If you can feel yourself growing away from someone its your choice whether you let them go or try to keep the relationship alive Keep in mind however that this process must be mutual Method 3 Dealing with Avoidance 1 Confront the person If youre feeling certain that someone is avoiding you consider tactfully bringing up the issue Perhaps you want to right any wrongs that youve committed perhaps you suspect that your friend is avoiding you because shes going through a hard time Be respectful and direct and explain exactly whats bothering you If you arent sure why someone is avoiding you say Ive been meaning to bring this up I feel like youve been avoiding me lately Did I do something to upset you If you know why someone is avoiding you dont beat around the bush Apologize for anything that youve done and try to reconcile the situation Say for example Ive feel like things have been awkward between us ever since we had that fight last week I value our friendship a lot and I want to talk about this so that we can move past it This argument isnt worth ruining our friendship You can confront the person by getting them oneonone or you can ask a guidance counselor to moderate the conversation Consider your comfort level and choose the situation that you think will best resolve the problem 2 Ask mutual friends for insight but dont talk behind the persons back If you have mutual friends with the person who is avoiding you ask someone trustworthy to weigh in on the situation Say Do you have any idea why X would be upset with me I feel like shes been avoiding me lately Do not spread rumors or gossip about the avoidant person If you value your relationship with this person be very careful about what you say If you say negative things behind the persons back theres a decent chance that your words will find your way to hisher ears which will only further inflame the situation 3 Give the person space Sometimes people need to go through their own personal journey before they are ready to reconnect with others In many cases forcing this connection will only push the avoidant person further away Be patient be open and move on with your life If the person decides that he or she wants to be in your life you will know Make your intention clear Say It seems like you need your own space to grow right now so Im going to leave you alone If you ever want to talk my doors always open Keep your heart open It can be very difficult to move on with your life and still remain open to letting this person back in Take a step back from the relationship remember the good times and try to let go of any anger 4 Let go It can be very hard to give up on someone especially if youve invested a lot of time and energy At some point though you may need to accept that things are not going to return to the way they used to be Its a matter of growth and emotional wellbeing if you spend your hours living in the past lingering on what once was and could have been it will be immeasurably more difficult for you to learn and bloom in the present Let go Letting go does not mean forever It does not mean that you cant rekindle a friendship with this person It simply means that you arent spending your precious emotional energy on someone who isnt receptive to it right now Tips If the person keeps avoiding you for a long time it might be time to let go If they cant be bothered to spend time with you they may have simply lost interest in you If they look uncomfortable when youre around it might indicate that they arent open to your presence If you are particularly distressed about this person avoiding you ask a close mutual friend to find out why they are upset with you

How to Texture Walls Coauthored by Mark Spelman In this Article Article Summary Texturing Using Joint Compound Texturing Using Wallpaper Retexturing Using Textured Paint and Special Tools Community QA 8 References Retexturing walls is a great way to add personality to home décor Once the domain of professional home painters now there are a number of tools available at home improvement stores that make retexturing walls a feasible project for any home You can also use objects like whisk brooms combs and sponges to refinish walls This article will teach you how to retexture walls in the finish of your choice Method 1 Texturing Using Joint Compound 1 Lay painters plastic around the floor of the room Place painters plastic on windows affixing them with blue tape to hold them in place Cover any places that you do not want to get dirty Retexturing walls is a messy process so make sure all the painters plastic sheets overlap 2 Apply a 18 inch 0 3 cm thick coat of drywall joint compound on to your walls Use a drywall knife to apply the compound Drywall joint compound is a common building material It is used to create the smooth finish on top of drywall It is also a good canvas for retexturing walls You will retexture after the drywall joint compound has dried completely so if you are working alone work on one wall at a time Understand that some of the joint compound will be wiped off during the texturing process Put on more joint compound than you expect to have on the final product 3 Choose your retexturing instrument How you retexture your wall may largely depend on what instruments you use Use a small whisk broom to create the look of grass cloth on a wall Grass cloth is a cloth that is woven from plant fibers It resembles linen and is commonly used as wallpaper By taking the whisk broom and gently gliding it vertically down the wall to the bottom and then starting again at the top you can create this clothlike texture on your wall Drag a thick hair comb or paint comb vertically down the wall to create a texture of thick and even vertical lines You can also comb in an overlapping S curve with the paint comb to create a curvy textured line Use a thickbristled brush to create circles Leaving the brush in the same position simply turn it around in one revolution This should create the look of a circle Wipe the joint compound off the brush before the next revolution To create vertical beading on your walls take a window squeegee and cut grooves in it that are a few inches cm apart depending upon how close you would like your beads to be Start at the top and move the squeegee vertically down the wall Use a straight motion and a steady hand to create long straight beads or move back and forth to create a squiggled bead To create a woven look take the squeegee and draw vertical lines then drag it horizontally to create boxes that resemble woven fabric To create longer textured curves use a process called skip troweling Take a trowel and lightly brush the wet drywall joint compound at 3 to 6 inch 8 to 15 cm intervals Let the compound dry and then lightly sand the next day to remove bumps 4 Use other inventive surfaces to achieve an even but textured layer Apart from brushes combs squeegees trowels you can also use the following items to create a beautifully textured look Sponge Blot the porous side of a sponge onto newlyapplied joint compound and let the pores of the sponge create a wonderful texture Old rag Blot the flat surface of an old rag against the joint compound for a similar if less uniform effect Tissue paper Lay the tissue paper over the joint compound and depress into the compound using a clean dry roller Aerosol texture You can find this at large home improvement stores and it comes in orange peel knockdown or popcorn type 5 Allow the joint compound to dry before painting It should take several hours for the drywall joint compound to dry Afterwards go over the compound with two coats of paint using a coarse roller Method 2 Texturing Using Wallpaper 1 Purchase textured wallpaper Textured wallpaper comes in either rolls or uniform tiles that you hinge connect or stick onto your wall Search for textured wallpaper to generate a list of retail textured wallpaper providers 2 Apply the textured wallpaper to your wall Textured wallpaper comes in several different forms each of which may have different directions To apply rolls of textured wallpaper probably the most common kind simply measure the wall measure your wallpaper to fit cut out pieces of wallpaper and apply them to the wall with a strong adhesive Method 3 Retexturing Using Textured Paint and Special Tools 1 Pour either sandtextured or popcorntextured paint into a paint tray Most popular paint brands make paint in these textures Apply it directly to the wall with a paint roller Apply 1 to 2 coats and let dry This is perhaps the quickest way to retexture your walls 2 Apply Venetian plaster paint to a large steel spatula Venetian plaster paint is a 2tone paint made by popular paint brands to create the look of marble and stone on your walls Work in a 3 by 3 foot 1 by 1 m area and apply a small amount of paint in an overlapping random motion until you have a thin coat on most of the surface Allow some areas of the original wall to show through Dry for 1 to 4 hours until it is a lighter color and matte finish Apply a small amount of the Venetian plaster paint to the spatula and skim the surface at a 90degree angle to even out the surface colors Let dry as before and repeat until you have achieved your desired texture Using light grit sandpaper polish the surface in circular patterns 3 Use a double roller to retexture a wall with two colors of paint Place two complimentary colors of paint in your paint tray Work in curves going right and left to mix the paint thoroughly on your walls This method has largely replaced the use of sponges to apply different colors it is a very efficient method 4 Create the look of wood using latex paint and a wood grain tool Paint a neutral color of latex paint on your wall Roll a wood grain tool in a tray of paint and then roll it vertically down your wall alternating with both sides of the tool to produce the uneven look of wooden boards Community QA Question Can I texture my wall over painted drywall Mark Spelman General

How to Travel with a Cat Co - authored by Pippa Elliott , MRCVS Explore this Article Preparing Ahead of Time Taking Your Cat on a Trip Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Most people do not relish the thought of bringing their cats with them on a vacation or on a road trip . There are a few fearless felines that are not finicky about traveling , but for many cats , traveling and leaving their familiar surroundings can be sheer terror . However , it is possible to travel with a cat without a huge amount of problems . The key is to the prepare ahead of time by acclimating your cat to travel gradually and preparing supplies well before the departure date . Part 1 Preparing Ahead of Time 1 Acclimate your cat to traveling . If your cat has n ’ t travelled by car recently , several weeks prior to your trip , take it on several short car rides ( 30 minutes or less ) . Be sure to put the cat in the travel cage you will use on your trip to get the cat used to the noise and motion of the car and the smell of the cage . Give your cat treats while it is in the car . This will give it better feelings about being there . Look upon these as trial runs to work out any kinks before you have to take a long trip far from home . 2 Get prescription medication for motion sickness , if necessary . If your cat is prone to motion sickness , which your trial runs should determine , ask your vet to prescribe medication . Anti - nausea medication such as chlorpromazine can be used to help control motion sickness . The signs of a cat with motion sickness ( while in the car of course ) include : crying or vocalizing that does n ’ t quit after a few minutes into the car ride , excessive drooling , immobility , or acting afraid to move , or excess activity or pacing , vomiting , or urinating or defecating . Ginger has also been used to treat nausea in humans and it is safe to use in cats ; this can be found in liquid form or chews from on - line or brick and mortar pet stores or in the occasional veterinary clinic . 3 Give your cat the Bach Flower Essence " Rescue Remedy " to help it with the fear and stress of traveling or a fear of new places . Give a few drops in his water each day and a drop in the mouth before setting off each day if he is visibly distressed . You can test its effectiveness by giving an oral dose and then taking a short car ride 30 minutes later . This should be your preferred treatment , as sedatives only slow a cat whereas the flower essence will help them remain calm and confident . 4 Get prescription tranquilizers as a last resort . Try training with trial drives and non - medicated options first before resorting to medications . Your veterinarian can help you sort out which one will work best for your cat . Some options include over the counter antihistamines ( Benadryl ) and prescription medication , such as alprazolam ( Xanax ) to relieve anxiety . Discuss dosages with your veterinarian and follow their advice carefully for the best result . 5 Try any sedatives at home a few days before your trip . Observe the cat ' s behavior , and if there are any negative results , you still have time to call your vet and adjust dosages or try a different medicine . Just like people , different drugs have different effects on cats . Chances are , if your pet reacts with irritability or something else adverse , your vet will know an alternate treatment to try . Most sedatives wo n ' t knock the cat out cold and should only take the edge off . If the drug is too sedating or not sedating enough , you should let your vet know before you leave . The cat should remain alert to its surroundings , even when on the sedative . While on the medication trial , put the cat in the carrier and take it for a drive . This way , you ' ll know what behaviors to expect while you ' re traveling with a medicated cat . Make sure your vet gives you enough medication for the duration of your travel ( to and from ) and ask for an extra pill or two to try at home before you embark . 6 Get a towel or blanket and put it in your cat ' s bed , or wherever it likes to sleep , a few days before the trip . The goal is to get your cat ' s smells , and the smells of home , onto the towel . In addition , the cat will already be comfortable with the towel and find comfort from it . 7 Prepare the cage on the morning of the trip , or the night before . Put the towel your cat has been sleeping on at the bottom of the cage , and put an additional towel under the cage if the cage floor needs extra padding . Add a favorite toy to keep your cat company as well . 8 Spray the inside of the carrier and car with Feliway 20 minutes before you ' re ready to go . This mimics the pheromones that cats leave when they ' re comfortable and relaxed in their territory . It should soothe your cat on the ride . Be sure to test your cat ' s reaction to Feliway before spraying it in the carrier . A small minority of cats interpret the spray as another cat ' s markings and may have a negative or even aggressive reaction to it . Part 2 Taking Your Cat on a Trip Have your cat eat a few hours before traveling and allow it unrestricted access to its litter box . If there is room in the cage you can put a small litter box , but this is not vitally necessary . The same is true of food and water . Never make your cat stay in its carrier for longer than eight hours without providing it with food , water and a chance to use the litter box . Leave the door of the cage open to allow your cat a chance to explore the cage . You want the cat to voluntarily get comfortable going into it . Do not force your cat into the cage if it does n ’ t go in at this stage . 3 Place the cat in the carrier , then carry it to the car . You may want to place a towel or blanket over the carrier when carrying it to the car to block its view of the “ scary ” outside . Remove it when you place the carrier in the car . The carrier should be placed in a secure spot in the car , preferably strapped in place with a seat belt . If the seat belt wo n ’ t work , you can use bungee cords or small lengths of rope to secure the carrier in the car in case of sudden stops or an accident . 4 Place your cat in the carrier with the harness on . Car rides are stressful for cats regardless if they like them or not . Having a harness and a leash on the cat whenever it is out of the carrier ( even in the car ) gives you something to grab in case the cat decides to bolt from an open window or door . 5 Allow your cat to stretch its legs . Your cat wo n ' t want to go all day in its carrier . This is where the harness and leash come in . Snap the leash on and allow your cat to come out into the car for twenty or so minutes . Offering a chance in the litterbox is n ' t a bad idea , either , but do n ' t be surprised if your cat turns its nose up at the idea . 6 Spray wherever you ' re staying with Feliway ( or use the Feliway diffuser ) before putting your cat in the room . If you go out , put your cat in its carrier and the ' Do Not Disturb ' sign on your door , in case the maid should come by . If you ' re going to be out for the day , put the cat in the bathroom with its things and shut the door ( if possible ) . Then leave a note on the door stating your cat is currently in there and to please be careful not to let it out . Community Q&A Search Add New Question Question Can you leave a cat alone ?

Pippa Elliott , MRCVS Veterinarian , Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons You have two choices : use a large carrier with a litter box in one corner , or harness - train the cat and offer her toilet breaks en route . However , if the cat is fearful and anxious , she may well ' hold on ' and refuse to use a tray while travelling . If this is the case , then line her carrier with puppy pads in case she has an accident . Puppy pads are absorbent mats which wick urine away from the cat to keep her comfortable . 12 25 Can I leave my cat out of the cage while we are driving ?

She had a serious car accident 3 months ago , but recovered . Is this cruel of me ? Community Answer If it is necessary , make sure she is comfortable . Maybe keep her favorite toy with her . Check on her during the journey if possible . If she gets scared , do your best to comfort her . 9 What happens if my cat gets under the seats and wo n ' t move ? You ' ll have to wait .

Lily Keep your pet enclosed in a pet carrier or box with a soft lining . Having a pet loose in the car is dangerous and they should always be limited to a container . Always have the container on the floor , so it does n ' t fall off the seat . Your pet will fall inside of the container , but the lining should break their fall . 11 What if there are children in the car ? Is it fine if the carrier is on a child ' s lap ? It ' s always best to have the pet carrier on the floor . A child can easily drop it , scaring your pet and , depending on the contents of the container , make a mess .

Tips Note that airlines will not accept a sedated animal because it is more difficult to know if it is experiencing any health problems , including heat stroke . If you are making a long drive to the airport with your cat do not give it a sedative as it will not be able to fly . Instead , Rescue Remedy is an acceptable calming alternative as the animal remains fully alert . Do n ' t forget to bring a scratching post or cardboard scratch pad ! People have a tendency to forget this , and it may cause your cat to resort to scratching on unwanted surfaces , such as the hotel curtains or bedspreads . Cats need to scratch ; not only is it instinctual , but it also allows them to get a good stretch and use muscles they would n ' t normally use . On long trips with more than one cat , a large collapsible dog carrier that fits in the back seat is a great option . You can fit in a small covered litter box that doubles as a cat booster seat to look out the window , in addition to having room for a cat bed , food , water and toys . The zippered screened sides allow for easy access , as well as letting your cat see you and the scenery out the window . The larger carrier doubles as a safe place when visiting others with pets Warnings Make sure your cat is wearing the collar and ID tags at all times ! You never know if your cat will somehow weasel its way away . A microchip with up to date information on record with the chip company is a never - loose ID tag . A rescuer will need to have a vet or shelter scan it to get the number . Do not allow a cat unrestricted access to your car when you ' re driving . Even the smallest things can spook a cat , and the last thing you need is a cat hiding in the back of your car , under the seat where you ca n ' t reach it , or dashing under your feet to the pedals . If you ' re riding with passengers and your cat likes to look out the window , putting a harness and leash on and allowing the cat to sit that way may not be a bad idea Never leave your cat in the car alone , even with the windows cracked . It can take less than twenty minutes for your pet to overheat and die when left in a car .

How to Treat Blocked Fallopian Tubes Co - authored by Carrie Noriega , MD Explore this Article Treating Blocked Fallopian Tubes Diagnosing Blocked Fallopian Tubes Understanding the Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes Questions & Answers Related Articles References In healthy women , the fallopian tubes carry mature eggs from the ovaries to the uterus . In order for a woman to become pregnant , at least one of these tubes must remain open . When obstructions occur , sperm and egg can not meet in the fallopian tubes , where fertilization typically takes place . Blocked fallopian tubes are the problem in 40 % of infertile women , so recognizing the problem and treating it effectively is extremely important . Method 1 Treating Blocked Fallopian Tubes 1 Ask your doctor about fertility drugs . If only one of your tubes is blocked , and you are otherwise healthy , your doctor may suggest a course of fertility drugs like clomiphene , Femera , Follistim , Gonal - F , Bravelle , Fertinex , Ovidrel , Novarel , Antagon , Lupron , or Pergonal . Several of these drugs ( Lupron , Pergonal ) shut down the pituitary gland so you can control it with medication . They may be used in combination with other drugs , which cause your pituitary gland to release follicle - stimulating hormone ( FSH ) and luteinizing hormone ( LH ) , thereby increasing the likelihood that you will ovulate and become pregnant ( using the open fallopian tube ) . Note that this treatment will not work if both your fallopian tubes are blocked . If this is the case , you ’ ll need to begin with more aggressive treatment options . The most common risks of taking fertility drugs are multiple pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome ( OHSS ) . OHSS occurs when your ovaries become filled with too much fluid . 2 Consider laparoscopic surgery . If your doctor thinks you are a good candidate for surgery , they may recommend a laparoscopy to open blocked tubes and remove any existing scar tissue . Laparoscopic surgery does not always work . The success of your procedure will depend on your age and the cause and extent of your blockage . If your blocked tube is relatively healthy , you have a 20 – 40 % chance of getting pregnant after surgery . The procedure will not be painful because you will be under general anesthesia . Risks of laparoscopic surgery include bladder infection and skin irritation around the surgery site . If you have a particular kind of blocked fallopian tube known as hydrosalpinx , in which the tube fills with fluid , you may not be a good candidate for surgery . Discuss your options with your physician — they may recommend removing the tube . This kind of surgery increases your risk of future ectopic pregnancies ( in which the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus ) . If you do get pregnant after your laparoscopy , your doctor should follow your progress closely and watch for signs of an ectopic pregnancy . 3 Discuss the possibility of a salpingectomy with your doctor . Salpingectomy involves removing part of your fallopian tube . This procedure is done when a tube has a buildup of fluid called hydrosalpinx . This procedure is done before undergoing an attempt at in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) . If the end of the fallopian tube is blocked due to hydrosalpinx , a salpingostomy is performed . This procedure creates an opening in the fallopian tube near the ovaries . It is common for tubes to become re - blocked by scar tissue following this procedure . 4 Try selective tubal cannulation . If you have a blockage that is close to your uterus , your doctor may recommend selective tubal cannulation – a medical procedure done by inserting a cannula through the cervix , uterus , and fallopian tube . The cannula is used to open the blocked portion of the fallopian tube . This is an outpatient procedure and less invasive than laparoscopic surgery . It is done by hysteroscopy , in which your doctor inserts a thin tube with a camera , which allows your doctor to see inside your uterus . You may or may not need general anesthesia . Tubal cannulation is not recommended if you have other conditions such as genital tuberculosis , previous fallopian tube surgery , and severe damage or scarring in your fallopian tubes . Potential risks of this procedure include tearing of your fallopian tube , peritonitis ( infection of the tissue around your organs ) , or an unsuccessful restoration of your fallopian tube function . 5 Move on to in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) . If these treatments do not work ( or if your doctor thinks you are not a good candidate for these treatments ) , you still have options for becoming pregnant . The most common of these options is IVF , in which doctors fertilize an egg with sperm outside your body , then insert the resulting embryo or embryos into your uterus . This method bypasses the fallopian tubes , so blockages do not present a problem . The success of IVF depends on many different factors including your age and the cause of your infertility . IVF is also very time consuming and expensive and can be very difficult emotionally for patients . Risks of IVF include ectopic pregnancy , multiple births , premature delivery and low birth weight , ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome , miscarriage , and stress due to the emotional , mental , and financial burden . Method 2 Diagnosing Blocked Fallopian Tubes Understand that you may have no symptoms . Though some women with a particular kind of blocked fallopian tube may experience abdominal pain or increased vaginal discharge , most experience no symptoms at all . In most cases , women only discover the problem when they struggle to get pregnant . Make an appointment with your doctor if you are unable to get pregnant after trying for a year . From a medical perspective , “ infertility ” means that you are not pregnant after at least one year of regular , unprotected sex . If this happens to you , schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or gynecologist as soon as possible . If you are over 35 years old , do n ' t have regular menses , or have tested for ovulation and tests are negative , do n ’ t wait a year . Schedule an appointment after six months of regular , unprotected sex . Note that “ infertility ” is not the same as “ sterility . ” If you are infertile , you may still be able to conceive a child , with or without medical help . Do not assume that you will never be able to get pregnant . 3 Schedule a fertility evaluation . Your doctor will probably recommend a complete fertility evaluation for both you and your partner . Your partner will need to provide a sperm sample so that a specialist can rule out a problem with sperm count or motility . You will likely need various tests to confirm that you have normal hormone levels and are ovulating properly . If all of these tests come back normal , then your doctor will recommend checking your fallopian tubes . 4 Consider a sonohysterogram . Your doctor may recommend undergoing a sonohysterogram – a medical procedure that involves using an ultrasound to look for masses in the uterus . Your uterus will first be injected with saline water so that the doctor can see better during the ultrasound . Uterine masses can sometimes block the fallopian tubes . Fibroids , polyps or other masses near the fallopian tubes could cause the blockage . 5 Have a hysterosalpingogram . A hysterosalpingogram ( HSG ) is a medical procedure in which a special dye is injected through your cervix and into your fallopian tubes . X - rays are then taken to determine if the tubes are open or blocked . Hysterosalpingograms are done without anesthesia , and you should experience only mild cramping or discomfort . It can help , however , to take ibuprofen about an hour beforehand . This procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes . Potential risks include pelvic infection or damage to cells or tissue from radiation exposure . If your doctor suspects that your tubes are blocked , they may use an oil - based dye during the procedure . The oil can sometimes remove the blockage . 6 Ask your doctor if a laparoscopy is appropriate . Depending on the results of your sonohysterogram and hysterosalpingogram , your doctor may recommend a laparoscopy — a medical procedure in which an incision in made near your navel to find ( and , in certain cases , remove ) any tissue that is blocking the tubes . In general , laparoscopy should only be performed after other infertility testing has been done . This is partly because it is a riskier procedure : it ’ s done under general anesthesia , so it carries all of the risks associated with any major surgery . 7 Get a diagnosis . The results of these tests should determine whether one or both of your fallopian tubes are blocked . Ask your doctor to explain the extent of the blockage . Having as specific a diagnosis as possible will help to determine a treatment plan . Understanding the Causes of Blocked Fallopian Tubes Understand that sexually transmitted infections ( STIs ) can lead to blocked fallopian tubes . Knowing the cause of your blocked fallopian tubes may help your doctor formulate an effective treatment plan . Sexually transmitted infections are some of the most common causes of blockages . Chlamydia , gonorrhea , and other STIs can lead to the development of scar tissue that blocks the fallopian tubes and prevents pregnancy . This can be a problem even if your STIs were treated and resolved . Know the role of pelvic inflammatory disease in causing blocked fallopian tubes . Pelvic inflammatory disease ( PID ) can result from sexually transmitted infections and lead to blockages . If you have PID ( or a history of PID ) , you have an increased risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes and infertility . Be aware of the potential risks associated with endometriosis . In women with endometriosis , uterine tissue grows outside its normal location , implanting on the ovaries , fallopian tubes , or other organs . If you have endometriosis , know that it can lead to blocked fallopian tubes . Recognize the role of uterine infections . If you ever had a uterine infection , perhaps in connection with a miscarriage or abortion , it ’ s possible that scar tissue formed and blocked one or both fallopian tubes . Although uncommon in the United States , pelvic tuberculosis may also cause blocked fallopian tubes . Factor in past ectopic pregnancies . Ectopic pregnancies are those in which the fertilized egg implants in the wrong place , usually in the fallopian tube . These pregnancies can not grow to term , and when they burst or are removed , they can cause scarring and blockages . 6 Consider past surgeries . If you have ever had abdominal surgery , your risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes is higher . Surgeries on the fallopian tubes themselves are especially risky . Community Q&A Add New Question Question After a tubal reversal surgery that I had in 2014 , I found out that both of my tubes are blocked . What is the reason why they remain blocked ? I have no fertility issues and I just had a failed fresh IVF cycle . Carrie Noriega , MD Obstetrician & Gynecologist Dr . Noriega is a Board Certified Obstetrician & Gynecologist in Colorado . She completed her residency at the University of Missouri - Kansas City in 2005 . Carrie Noriega , MD Obstetrician & Gynecologist Expert Answer Not all tubal reversal surgeries are successful . The success rate can depend on your surgeon and on the type of tubal ligation you had . There is no way to know the exact success rate for opening tubes but this is part of the reason that pregnancy success rates are only 40 – 85 % and not 100 % .

How to Treat a Cold Sore or Fever Blisters Co - authored by Luba Lee , FNP - BC Explore this Article Treating Your Cold Sore with Lifestyle Changes Using Oral Treatments Using Topical Treatments Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References Herpes Simplex , also known as cold sores or fever blisters , are painful lesions which usually form on the lips , chin , cheeks , or nostrils . The blisters typically turn into yellow - crusted sores and then disappear within a couple of weeks . Unfortunately , people who get cold sores , which are caused by the herpes simplex virus ( usually type 1 ) , generally get outbreaks over and over again , and they are highly contagious . While there is no cure or vaccine at this time , there are things you can do speed up healing , prevent outbreaks , and stop outbreaks from spreading once they occur . Method 1 Treating Your Cold Sore with Lifestyle Changes 1 Make sure you have a cold sore . A cold sore is the same as a fever blister , but it is not the same as a canker sore . Canker sores are mouth ulcers that occur inside the mouth . While cold sores may on occasion develop inside the mouth , they are usually smaller than canker sores , and they start as blisters . Canker sores are not contagious , and they are not caused by a virus , so treatment differs from that for cold sores . 2 Recognize the signs of an impending outbreak . Before you can actually see a cold sore , you will probably be able to feel a slight tingling or burning somewhere around your mouth where the cold sore will erupt . The earlier you can detect an outbreak , the quicker you can take action to hasten your recovery . You may be able to feel a small bump or hardness in the skin in conjunction with the tingling sensation . Other early symptoms include , itching of the lips or skin around the mouth , sore throat , swollen glands , and pain when swallowing , and a fever . 3 Quarantine your sore at the first sign of an outbreak . The herpes simplex virus is highly contagious , so avoid kissing or other mouth - to - body activities at any time during an outbreak . Also avoid sharing utensils , cups , or straws with other people , and wash dishes and utensils thoroughly with disinfectant soap . Gently washing the blisters with soap and water may also help to prevent the spread of the outbreak . Wash your hands frequently , and try to avoid touching the sore . If you touch the cold sore , you can then spread it to other people or to other places on your own body , such as the eyes and genitals . 4 Treat the fever As the name fever blisters suggests , cold sores are sometimes accompanied by a fever , particularly in younger children . If fever is present , use fever - reducing medications such as acetaminophen , and monitor the fever carefully . Fight the fever with lukewarm baths ; cold compresses on the inner thighs , feet , arms , and neck ; warm tea ; popsicles ; and adequate sleep . 5 Ease the pain Over - the - counter cold sore creams may help to ease the pain of cold sores , as may painkillers such as aspirin , acetaminophen , and ibuprofen . It ' s important to note , since cold sores often affect young children , that aspirin should not be given to young children because of the risk of Reye ' s syndrome , a rare , but potentially fatal disorder . 6 Seek medical advice in particular instances . If you have a compromised immune system or if you experience a particularly severe outbreak , a fever that wo n ' t go down , an outbreak lasting more than 2 weeks , or irritation of the eyes , you should see your doctor . Some outbreaks can be serious . People with already - weakened immune systems are at particular risk of long - term complications or even death from a herpes outbreak . Herpes infections in the eyes are one of the leading causes of blindness in many countries , so be very careful not to spread the infection to your eyes , and if you have any irritation in the eyes , see your doctor at once . 7 Prevent cold sore outbreaks with a number of different methods . Although herpes simplex is still incurable , you can prevent outbreaks before they happen by : Wearing sunscreen on the lips and other vulnerable areas . Zinc oxide may help prevent outbreaks in people whose outbreaks are triggered by sun exposure . Washing towels , cloths , and linens in boiling water after each use . Keeping your immune system healthy with proper nutrition , rest , exercise and stress reduction . Not having oral sex if you have oral herpes . This can spread herpes to the genitals , even if blisters or lesions are not present . 8 Be patient If left untreated , a cold sore can last from eight to 10 days . Until then , there ' s not much you can do . Avoid squeezing or picking at a sore , as this will only slow healing . 9 Reduce your stress Studies show that there may be a correlation between stress levels and an increased likelihood for cold sores . To prevent future outbreaks and reduce the amount of time you have to suffer through a current outbreak , take time to lower your anxiety and stress levels . Method 2 Using Oral Treatments Use licorice . A key ingredient in licorice has been shown to increase the healing time of cold sores . Eat regular licorice ( made with real licorice and not anise ) or take licorice supplements . A bit of the powdered licorice supplement can also be made into a paste with water and dabbed directly onto the sore several times a day . Consume more lysine . A primary protein in the hepatitis virus that causes cold sores can be combated with a protein found in dairy products - lysine . Eat cheese , yogurt , and milk daily and look for lysine supplements at your local health food store . 3 Avoid arginine . Some research has connected herpes outbreaks with the amino acid arginine , which is found in foods such as chocolate , cola , peas , cereals , peanuts , gelatin , cashews and beer . The evidence is n ' t conclusive at this point , but if you have frequent outbreaks , you may want to try limiting your consumption of these foods and eliminating consumption during outbreaks . 4 Take an oral antiviral medication A few prescription antiviral medications , such as Penciclovir , Acyclovir , and Famciclovir , have been approved for treatment of herpes outbreaks . These medications do not cure herpes , and they have not been shown to be effective in preventing outbreaks , but they can speed up healing and reduce the severity of an outbreak . They are generally most effective if you start taking them as soon as you notice the first signs of an impending outbreak . If you have very frequent outbreaks , your doctor may prescribe these medications to be taken daily , even in the absence of symptoms , to suppress future outbreaks . Suppression therapy may be effective for some people , but clinical studies have not shown widespread success . Antiviral medications for the herpes virus work by interfering with the virus ' s replication rate . The more the DNA replication of the virus is interfered with , the more time your immune system will have fight the outbreak . Using Topical Treatments Apply a cold compress to the sore . Ice works jointly to create an environment inhospitable to the virus that causes the sore , as well as to reduce pain and inflammation that the sore may be causing . Use an ice pack or a cool water compress , rather than touching ice directly to the sore . Do not apply a cold compress for more than 10 - 15 minutes at a time . Apply a cold compress several times a day to effectively ease discomfort and ward off infection . Use tea tree oil . Tea tree oil may be used as an effective topical antiviral . Dissolve a bit of tea tree oil in two or three times as much water and apply it intermittently to the area before the cold sore has formed for several hours . This could help prevent the lesion from forming and worsening once it has come up . Dab on some milk . The proteins in milk help to heal the sore , while the cold temperature of the liquid will soothe any pain you may be experiencing . Dab a cotton ball in milk and apply it liberally to the sore several times a day . This can be done at the onset when you realize a sore might be starting up as well . Coat it in Vaseline . Keeping the cold sore covered up with petroleum jelly will help to block out bacteria and viruses that worsen the infection . Apply an ample amount of the jelly to the sore to keep it covered up and moist at all times . Be sure to do this with a clean q - tip or freshly washed hands to prevent the further spread of bacteria from your fingers to the blister . 5 Try apple cider vinegar . The vinegar works to dry out the blister , kill bacteria , and even out the pH of the sore . Applying the vinegar to an open sore may sting a bit . Use a cotton swab to dab on the vinegar to the sore several times a day . 6 Use hydrogen peroxide . This classic antibacterial works to simultaneously kill bacteria that may infect the blister while drying out the skin in the area . Pour a little onto the sore or use a cotton pad to swipe some on multiple times daily . 7 Put on a tea bag . The nutrients and antioxidants in green tea work wonders on soothing cold sores and increasing the speed at which they heal . Make a cup of green tea , and then use the tea bag placed directly on the cold sore after cooling . For an extra bit of relief , refrigerate or freeze the tea bag before placing it on your fever blister . 8 Chop up some garlic . Garlic is one of those home remedies that seems to have ties to curing many minor ailments . Create a paste out of crushed or chopped garlic and apply it to your cold sore for 15 minutes . The antibacterial properties of the garlic will help to disinfect the area and increase the healing time . Be warned , garlic is potent and may sting a bit when applied . 9 Dab on some salt . Although a slight sting - inducer , salt applied directly to your fever blister will help to speed up the healing process . Leave the salt on for a few minutes so it has time to set in , and then rinse off and follow up with a dab of pure aloe vera . The follow up with aloe will help to soothe the irritated sore and relieve any pain the salt caused . 10 Soak a cotton swab with Pure Vanilla extract . Do this 4 times a day until the cold sore is gone . Alcohol is used in the process of making the vanilla extract which could be the reason why vanilla extract helps to heal cold sores . 11 Take a topical antiviral medication . Topical medications , such as docosanol and tromantadine can be taken to curb the outbreak . Although doctors do not know precisely how docosanol fights herpes simplex , they do know that it enter the cytoplasm of cells . Tromantadine works by changing the surface composition of skin cells . Community Q&A Question What should I do after I have put the tea bag on the sore ? Luba Lee , FNP - BC Medical Review Board Expert Answer After you ' ve placed the tea bag on your sore , relax while you keep it in place for about 5 minutes . Repeat this 3 - 4 times a day for best results . Not Helpful 0 Helpful Question Can I infect a two - month - old if I just hold it ? Community Answer Most parents end up infecting their children before the age of 5 with the virus one way or another . Since you know you have it , you should be extremely careful about kissing or sharing drinks with a child since one accidental infection will lead to their having a lifetime of pain . However , if you ' re just holding someone else ' s baby for a moment , it ' s unlikely to be contracted in this manner . Not Helpful Helpful 17 Can I use a bandage on a cold - sore ? Community Answer You can , but it might prevent you from speaking clearly . Consider a liquid bandage or a cold sore patches instead ; they may be more comfortable to wear and speak with than a regular bandage . 12 34 Fever blisters are n ' t really considered herpes ? Fever blisters and cold sores are the same thing , and yes , this is herpes . It ' s not the STD type of herpes ( type 2 ) , it is oral herpes ( type 1 ) . 14 25 How do I treat a sore that ' s on my tongue ? You can put some salt on it .

Flush your mouth with hydrogen peroxide or sea salt water . 11 Can I treat a cold sore by crushing some aspirin , dabbing a cotton ball in some hydrogen peroxide , and then applying the aspirin to my lip with the cotton ball ? No , you probably should n ' t mix any chemicals with different medication ; if you do n ' t know what you ' re doing you could create a toxic substance . Is it safe to go out in the sun with a cold sore ? Yes , but you should probably put on lip balm or other sun protection . Apply it with a cotton swab or a Q - tip .

Tips Some women experience cold sore outbreaks during or just before menstruation . It is also believed that stress may cause outbreaks in some people , and so practicing relaxation techniques to reduce stress levels may ward off outbreaks for these people . A weakened immune system probably allows outbreaks in general , so it ' s a good idea to try to stay as healthy as possible by eating right , exercising , and avoiding allergens , drugs , and excessive alcohol consumption . To temporarily hide a cold sore , apply a layer of liquid bandage to cover the entire sore and allow to dry completely . Apply another layer and allow to dry again . What this does is cover the sore and provide a smooth surface for the application of lip color or lipstick , and also protects the sore from further infection . When completely dry , use a lip brush ( this can be sterilized by soaking in boiling water and bleach ) and apply a dark enough shade of lipstick that will cover the cold sore , and Just ensure the cold sore is completely covered with the liquid bandage before applying lip - color because if not , the lip - color / lipstick could irritate / worsen the sore . Make sure to use a dark enough shade of lipstick to hide the sore . To remove , wash off carefully and make sure to dry the cold sore as much as possible with alcohol .

Do n ' t be surprised if certain forms of birth control ( such as the morning after pill ) cause an outbreak . You may also have success with topical ointments , such as Abreva and Denavir . Both are designed to treat the viral infection topically and promote speedy healing . Abreva is non - prescription and is available over - the - counter . L - Lysine supplements help speed up the healing process and can usually be found anywhere vitamins are sold . Abreva gets rid of fever blisters right away . See a medical specialist if you have or think you may have persistent intraoral and oro - labial Hidradenitis suppurativa ( HS ) .

How to Treat a Pulled Muscle Co - authored by Luba Lee , FNP - BC Explore this Article Getting Immediate Relief Knowing When to Seek Medical Treatment Preventing Pulled Muscles from Occurring Show 1 more . . . Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References A pulled or strained muscle is one that has been overstretched due to physical activity , resulting in swelling and pain . Pulled muscles are common injuries that can usually be effectively treated at home . Learn how to care for your pulled muscle and decide when medical intervention is necessary . Part 1 Getting Immediate Relief 1 Rest the muscle . When you strain a muscle , stop doing the activity that caused it to be strained . Pulled muscles are actually rips in muscle fibers , and further exertion could cause the tear to grow larger and lead to a serious injury . Let the amount of pain you feel be your guide . If a pulled muscle occurs while you ' re running or playing a sport , and you have to stop and catch your breath due to the severe pain , the best thing to do is sit the rest of the game out . Take a few days to recover from the pulled muscle before resuming the activity that caused it . 2 Ice the muscle . Icing the area reduces swelling and helps ease the pain . Fill a large food storage bag with ice cubes . Wrap it in a thin towel , to protect your skin from getting damaged by direct ice . Hold the ice pack to your sore area for 20 minutes at a time 4 to 8 times a day until the swelling has gone down . A bag of frozen peas or another vegetable also works well as an ice pack . Avoid using heat , which wo n ' t reduce inflammation caused by a pulled muscle . 3 Compress the area . Wrapping the site of the pulled muscle can reduce inflammation and provide support to prevent further injury . Use an ace bandage to loosely wrap your arm or leg . Do n ' t wrap the area too tightly , or you might inhibit circulation . If you do n ' t have an ace bandage , cut an old pillowcase into one long strip and use it to compress the area . 4 Elevate the muscle . Raising the inflamed area can help the swelling go down and provide it with the proper rest it needs to heal . If you pulled a muscle in your leg , rest it on an ottoman or chair while you ' re sitting . If you pulled a muscle in your arm , you can elevate it using a sling . 5 Take a painkiller . Nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDS ) such as aspirin or ibuprofen reduce pain and help you move around more easily with a pulled muscle . Be sure to take no more than the recommended dosage , and never give aspirin to children . Part 2 Knowing When to Seek Medical Treatment Monitor your pain . Resting the muscles and using ice packs should take care of a pulled muscle within a few days . If you experience severe pain that wo n ' t dissipate , see a doctor . You may have a severe injury that needs medical attention . If your doctor determines your injury needs extra care , you may be given a pair of crutches or a sling so that the pulled muscle can rest . Prescription - strength painkillers may also be administered . In rare cases , a pulled muscle requires physical therapy or surgical care . See a doctor if you have other related symptoms . Sometimes muscle pain is related to something besides overexertion . You may think you pulled a muscle during a physical activity , but if you experience these other symptoms at the same time , make an appointment to see a doctor : Bruising Swelling Signs of infection , like itchiness and red , raised skin . Bite marks in the area of soreness . Poor circulation or numbness in the area where the muscle pain is felt . 3 Seek immediate attention if your symptoms are severe If your muscle soreness is accompanied by any of these severe symptoms , go to the emergency room or immediate care center to find out what ' s going on : Your muscles feel extremely weak . You have shortness of breath or dizziness . You have a stiff neck and a fever . Preventing Pulled Muscles from Occurring Warm up . Pulled muscles happen when your muscles get overstrained , which can often occur as a result of exerting yourself before you ' ve properly warmed up . Take the time to stretch and get your muscles warmed up before you participate in a physical activity . If you enjoy running , take a light jog before doing sprints or faster running . If you play a team sport , you can jog , play catch , or do light calisthenics before diving into the game . Use a foam roller to stretch out the muscles in your legs , back , and shoulders . This can help you warm up your body better . Stay hydrated by drinking at least 8 - 11 glasses of water daily . Dehydration increases your risk of straining your muscles . Make sure you ' re drinking plenty of water throughout the day , including during your workout . Do n ' t wait until you feel thirsty to drink water , as you ' re already getting dehydrated by the time you feel thirsty . If you exercise a lot , make sure you ' re drinking more water . You might also drink sports drinks , since low electrolytes can also increase your risk of pulling a muscle . Do strength training . Incorporating weightlifting and other strength training into your exercise routine can help prevent the chance that you ' ll pull a muscle during an activity . Use free weights at home or work out in the weight room at the gym to build a solid , strong core and keep your muscles limber . 4 Know when to stop . It ' s easy to get caught up in the moment when you ' re doing a physical activity and force yourself to keep going even when the pain in your leg or arm indicates you should stop . Remember that putting more strain on a pulled muscle will only make things worse . If you cause a deeper tear , you may have to sit out for an entire season instead of just one game . Community Q&A Question Do you go against the pain ? Luba Lee , FNP - BC Medical Review Board Expert Answer When you exercise , do n ' t go past the point of being uncomfortable . You should n ' t be in pain . Your body hurts because it ' s telling you not to go past your range of physical activity . Warm up before you exercise , then be mindful of how your body feels . If you ' re already hurt , avoid exercises that worsen your pain . Until you heal , scale back your workouts to a lower range of physical activity . Not Helpful Helpful Question My gluteus muscle is really sore . Do I ice it , heat it , or both ? Luba Lee , FNP - BC Medical Review Board Expert Answer At first , it ' s best to ice the area , which will help reduce pain and swelling . As you recover , such as around the 3rd or 4th day , you can apply heat . If your pain is moderate or intense , you can continue to use ice .

How to Tuck in a Shirt Author Info Video Team Tested In this Article Article Summary Doing a Basic Tuck Doing a MilitaryStyle Tuck Knowing When to Tuck Avoiding Tucking Mishaps Community QA 6 References The visual difference between wearing your shirt tuckedin and wearing it untucked can be quite striking Even with no other wardrobe changes its possible to appear much classier with a tasteful tuck However a sloppy tuck can give you a puffylooking midsection Dont settle for anything but the best look for yourself learn how and when to tuck your shirt to start looking great today Part 1 Doing a Basic Tuck 1 Pull your shirt as far down as possible To start put on your shirt and button it Grab the shirttails and pull them down towards the floor This gathers any extra material at the bottom of the shirt and brings the material tight over your chest for a professional look 2 Pull your trousers over your shirt If you havent already put on your pants do so Pull them up to your waist and push the bottom of your shirt inside them Pull up the zipper and fasten the button The bottom of your shirt should comfortably sit inside the waist of your pants 3 Put on a belt When you wear a tuckedin shirt you almost always accompany it with a belt even if you dont need one to keep your trousers up When you fasten the belt line the buckle up so that it sits in the center of your waist just above your zipper 4 Pull your shirt out a bit Grab the bottom edges of the sides of your shirt and give them a light tug to bring some slack back into the shirt Dont pull too much aim for only about an inch or so of material Doing this gives your shirt just a little slack so that if you turn or bend you wont pull your shirttails out of your pants It can help to do this part in front of a mirror If you accidentally pull a little too much material out of your pants you can be left with a poofie section of extra fabric at the bottom of your shirt that can sometimes look a little dopey 5 Line up the buttons of your shirt with the fly of your pants Finally give yourself a quick onceover examination For a good tuck the line formed by the buttonedup edge of your shirt should match up with the line of the fly on your pants This is called the gig line and while its not always something youll want to spend the time and effort getting just right for the most professional look possible its indispensable Since your belt buckle should be in the center of your body your gig line should intersect it or else lie quite close to it Part 2 Doing a MilitaryStyle Tuck 1 Tuck your shirt in as normal and unbutton your pants For most formal and semiformal occasions a standard tuck will work perfectly well However if youre having trouble getting that annoying poofie part of your shirt to go away fear not this tuckin trick will work wonders To start get your shirt tucked as you normally would Then unbutton your pants Youll be folding the fabric back in on itself so you need a little slack in the pants to give us room to work 2 Gather the fabric at the sides of your shirt in your hands Put your hands down at your sides and grab the shirt material thats closest to them Pinch it between your index finger and thumb on each hand Pull the material away from your body slightly until the shirt is tight across your chest Dont pull so hard that you pull your shirttails out of your pants Your shirt should stay tucked into your pants through the whole process 3 Fold the fabric back over itself Now push forward with your thumbs as you pinch the edges of the shirt between the sides of your thumbs and the fleshy part of your hand The shirt material should double up on itself forming a new flap of material Fold this flap back over the sides of your shirt The material should now be tight and fitted all around 4 Pull the shirt tight and button your pants Finally while keeping your shirt tight button your pants again If done correctly your shirt should now have a tight sleek appearance all around your midsection with no extra poofie material Note that this sort of tuck has a notorious reputation for coming undone so you may want to practice the thumb motion used to make the military tuck so that you can keep things nice and tight Some folks prefer keeping their pants buckled while doing the military tuck If you do this you wont have quite as much room to work but you also wont need to deal with the hassle of keeping your shirt tight while youre fumbling with your pants Part 3 Knowing When to Tuck 1 In general tuck in buttonup dress shirts Though there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to fashion the vast majority of dress shirts are designed to worn tuckedin Because of this if you want to look as good as possible youll usually want to have your dress shirt tucked in with one of the methods above While there are plenty of casual situations where its just fine to wear an unbuttoned untucked shirt with a tee underneath its hard to look better with this approach than you would by simply tucking your shirt in Always tuck in dress shirts that hang past your hips In these cases the extra material can make your shirt look a bit like a flowing nightgown or even a dress which will rarely be the sort of impression youll want to make 2 In general leave polos and tees untucked Just as most dress shirts are made to be worn tucked most polos and tees are meant to be worn untucked When properlyfitted these sorts of shirts should hang right up against your belt or the waist of your pants You can tell this by looking at the way the bottom of a polo or tee differs from the bottom of a dress shirt most will have a flat bottom edge rather than long shirttails in front and in back The exception here is when you have to wear an exceptionallylong tee or polo In these cases tucking the extra material in usually makes you look a little better You can tuck in normallength polos and tees as well but this can sometimes give them an overlytight appearance 3 Always tuck in your shirt for formal occasions When youre wearing a dress shirt there are certain situations in which its always advisable to tuck your shirt in For instance leaving your shirt untucked at many formal events or celebrations can be seen as a breach of etiquette bordering on disrespect Below are just a few examples of the types of situations where youll always want to have your shirt tucked in Weddings Graduations Religious ceremonies Funerals Court appearances 4 Tuck in your shirt for most business occasions In the business world some situations will almost always call for a tuckedin shirt Some of these situations are unique to certain jobs that demand formal behavior but some like job interviews are things that almost everyone will encounter Below are just a few examples of when you may need to tuck in your shirt Job interviews Meetings with new or important clients Meeting with strangers Serious work events layoffs new hires etc Note that for many jobs normal working days require tuckedin shirts or even suits 5 Tuck in your shirt for events that require class Its worth noting that some events which arent exceptionally formal and arent connected to work can still demand a tuckedin shirt In these cases an untucked shirt may not be seen as disrespectful but may be a bad idea all the same In these situations you may want to look as nice as possible either to make yourself attractive or to show that youre taking things seriously Here are just a few ideas for when you may want to keep your shirt tucked in Visits to fancy nightclubs or restaurants First dates Serious parties especially when you dont know many people attending Art exhibitions and sitdown concerts 6 Leave your shirt untucked for casual fare Its important to remember that you definitely dont always have to tuck your shirt in For instance if youre staying in for the night heading to a close friends house or just dining at a casual restaurant theres no need to tuck in your shirt or truthfully even to wear a dress shirt in the first place Casual hangouts and other events where you wont be judged on the way you look have no need for tuckedin shirts so unless you just want to look great 247 you can usually skip them Part 4 Avoiding Tucking Mishaps 1 Dont tuck your shirt into your underwear This innocent mistake can lead to the humiliating situation of having the top of your underwear show over the waist of your pants When your shirts tucked into your underwear any sort of motion that would normally pull some of the shirttail material out of your pants like bending or twisting can cause your underwear to ride up If if gets too high the results can be seriously embarrassing Some people however do like tucking their under shirt into their underwear because it keeps their actual dress shirt from becoming untucked as easily Opinions are split on this to others this is seen as the epitome of dorky fashion 2 Dont tuck in your shirt without a belt Always wear a belt when you wear a tuckedin shirt even if you dont need it to keep your pants up Dress shirts are generally meant to be worn with belts and look most professional when paired with them Leaving a belt off can make the waistline look somewhat naked and exposed especially when youre wearing a shirt that contrasts greatly with the color of your pants If you really hate wearing a belt there are alternatives For instance suspenders and sidetabs accomplish the same purpose of keeping your pants up 3 Dont untuck after having your shirt tucked in Once you make the decision to tuck your shirt in dont turn back Tucking your shirt in ruffles the material at the bottom of the shirt as its stuffed into your trousers When youre wearing the shirt tuckedin this is impossible to see because your trousers in the way However as soon as you untuck your shirt these wrinkles become visible These can be quite visually unappealing especially on lightcolored shirts so keep your shirt tucked in 4 Shy away from halftucks If youre going to tuck in your shirt tuck it all the way in Dont stop halfway through Tucking your shirt in completely in the back but leaving one of the front shirttails deliberately untucked wont usually make you look delightfully disheveled or conventiondefying Instead it will usually make you look like youve forgotten to tuck it in properly or youre trying to get attention Unless youre a teen on their way to the skate park or you truly want to stand out at the cost of looking less puttogether stay away from the halftuck Dont take this articles word for it most

How to Use a Guitar Capo Co - authored by wikiHow Staff | Reader - Approved Explore this Article Positioning the Capo on Your Guitar Playing With the Capo Purchasing a Capo Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References A guitar capo is a versatile device that ' s used by guitarists around the world . The capo enables the musician to change the key of the chords that they are playing and can help singers synch their instruments with their voices . Guitar capos are also great tools for those having difficulty with more complex guitar chords that are further down the neck . Using a capo enables the guitarist to create different tones with their guitar while using the same simplistic open chord shapes and forms that many guitarists learn when they first start playing . Method 1 Positioning the Capo on Your Guitar 1 Place your capo on the desired fret . If you ' re using tabs or sheet music , you may also notice that it tells you to barre or capo a particular fret . Slide your capo over the desired fret and close it down . It should hold down all six or twelve strings on your guitar and act the same way your index finger acts when using barre chords . When starting off , it ' s a good idea to use your capo on the first to third fret , just to get an idea of how it affects your guitar ' s tone . Keep in mind how the capo will change the key , tone , and notes that you ' ll be playing . 2 Tighten the capo close behind the fret . Tightening your capo in the middle of a fret can cause tension to be distributed unevenly across the neck . This can result in a buzzing or muted sound when trying to play your guitar . To prevent this from happening , make sure to tighten your capo as close to the edge of the fret on the side that ' s closest to the body of your guitar . 3 Tighten or loosen the screws on a screw capo . Screw capos are a popular style of capo that allow the musicians to fine - tune the capo ' s tension . This is especially useful if your guitar ' s neck is thick or you have a higher than normal action . While screw capos are accurate , they also have the drawback of taking longer to reposition . This may not be good for a live performance where you ' ll have to change your capo ' s position quickly from song to song . 4 Apply a trigger capo by squeezing and releasing the handles . Trigger capos are easy to adjust as you play . These capos rely on resistance to hold your strings down and do n ' t require you to loosen screws or adjust straps . The downfall of trigger capos is that you ca n ' t adjust the capo ' s tension . This could result in a buzzing sound if the capo is too loose or could add unnecessary tension on the neck of your guitar and strings if it ' s too tight . Trigger capos are often used in live performances because of the speed in which you can move it up and down the neck . 5 Pull the strap to tighten the tension on a toggle capo . Toggle capos are small , lightweight capos that are tightened with a strap . Toggle capos are beneficial because of their size and the ability to carry them in your pocket . They are also much cheaper than other capos and can be purchased for under $ 10 . The drawbacks are that toggle capos can break easily and do n ' t always have the most precise tension due to the nature of the strap . Method 2 Playing With the Capo Tune your guitar If your guitar is out of tune , it wo n ' t matter where you place the capo because the guitar will still sound bad . While there are different tuning configurations , the standard guitar tuning , from top string to bottom is , E , A , D , G , B , E . If you ca n ' t tune your guitar by ear , consider buying an electronic tuner that can help you get your tuning exact . Learn to play open chords on your guitar . Before you start using a capo , make sure that you have the fundamental chord shapes down . Learn how to play the basic open chords like E minor and C before moving onto more complex open chords like D minor and G . If you ' re already proficient at playing open chord progressions , then having a capo will increase your guitar versatility and you ' ll be able to make the transition much easier . Search for chord maps online or at a music store if you are having trouble playing a specific chord . 3 Determine the key you ' re playing in when playing with others . If you are playing in a group , you ' ll all want to play in the same key so that your music sounds cohesive . There are seven chords for each key , and they correspond with the seven chords in each key scale . The capo position will change the chords you are playing , thus altering the key that you ' re playing in . Move your capo up and down the neck to change the key that you ' re comfortable playing in . The progression of chords within a scale takes the pattern of major , minor , minor , major , major , and diminished . Using this pattern , you can see that the chords in the key of C are , C major , D minor , E minor , F major , G major , and A diminished . 4 Use the capo to brighten the tone of the guitar . Using a capo further down on your neck will brighten the tone of your guitar and make it easier to write happy or upbeat music . Other than helping match your vocal registry , use the capo to make your open chords sound happier . Experiment with different positions further down the neck and see what kind of sounds you can create . 5 Transpose your music using a capo . Look online for a transposition chart for guitars with capos . These charts will tell you exactly which chord you ' re playing depending on where your capo is positioned . Take some existing music you already know how to play and place the capo on a fret . Once you ' re done with that , correspond which chord shapes you need to use to match the chords you ' d normally play without a capo . 6 Understand the music theory behind the capo . When you use a capo , you can use the same open chord shapes or forms , but the chord notes will be different depending on where you placed the capo . Much like a barre chord , the capo holds down all the strings on a particular fret . This means that the same chord shapes that you ' re used to playing in the open chord position will now emit different tones with the same finger positioning on the guitar ' s neck . Moving your capo up one fret will move your chord up a half step or half - tone , while moving the capo up on the guitar ' s neck for two frets will move it up a full step or tone . For example , a C form played with a capo on the first fret has now become a C# . The G chord form played with a capo on the first fret turns into a G# , moving the chord up one half - step . When moving the capo up to the second fret , your C form has now become a D and your G becomes an A , moving your chord up a full step . Purchasing a Capo Determine which type of capo you want . There are a multitude of different capos that you can purchase online or at most music stores . Ask to try different capos at a music store to see which one you like the best . Determine if you ' ll be using the capo for live performances , or if you ' re just going to use it at home . If you ' re just using the capo at home during practice , a screw capo is the most durable and precise capo that you can get . If you ' re using the capo during live performances , consider using a trigger capo because of how quickly can you adjust it on the neck . Compare prices for capos online . Capos range in price . Determine how much money your willing to spend on this accessory before going over your options . If you ' re a new guitar player or have never used a capo in the past , you may want to go with a cheaper version , to see if you like using one . If you are a veteran guitar player and know that you enjoy using one , opt to go with a higher - quality capo . The average cost of a guitar capo is anywhere between $ 4 to $ 30 depending on the style and quality . Order your capo online or purchase one at a music store . Once you determine the capo that you want , go to an online music store or visit a physical location near you . Visiting the physical location could be beneficial because often they will allow you to test your equipment there . This could be especially valuable if you ' ve never used a capo before . Popular capo brands include Shubb , Neewer , Live for Music , and Jim Dunlop . Popular music stores include Sam Ash , Guitar Center , Truetone Music , and Dream Guitars . Community Q&A Search Add New Question Question When we put the capo on my daughter ' s guitar , the chord schemes all sound the same . Ie . it does n ' t sound any different when she strums the G , C , or D ? What are we doing wrong ? We have the Kyser brand clothes pin / spring type . She has an acoustic guitar . Community Answer Make sure that it sounds exactly the same and that the tone of the guitar is not changing . When using a capo , chord progressions are going to sound somewhat similar to the untrained ear , but are actually different chords . Listen to the tone carefully , you should notice it go up . If you ' re certain it sounds exactly the same , it ' s because the capo is n ' t actually holding down the strings . Yes No Not Helpful 0 Helpful 6 Question I am a beginner . What if the capo is in the way when I ' m trying to play a chord ? Like suppose there ' s a capo on fret 2 and the chord is D . How ' ll this work ? Community Answer You act like the fret directly below the capo is the first fret and form D normally , using the capo as the 0 fret . The fret right after the capo is fret 1 . Yes No Not Helpful 0 Helpful I ca n ' t play in A , but I was told I could put a capo on a certain fret , and it would be in A . What position would it be played in ? You can play in the G chord scheme with a capo on the second fret , and you will be playing in the key of A . So A would become G , E would be D , and B would be A . 8 What fret would I put a capo on to make Dflat easier to play ? George Malen On the fourth fret so that you only press the fifth , the octave and the major / minor third . How do I figure out which key to put it on ? You can play multiple keys in any position . For example , the key of G uses the chords G , A minor , B minor , C , D , E minor , and F diminished . It is easy to play these without a capo . You can also easily play the keys of E , C , A , D , and the minors of all of these without a capo . You could also easily play the key of G with the capo on the fifth fret ( playing the G with a " D shape I sing in the key of D , but I play the guitar better in the key of G . Is it true that if I place a capo on the third fret , I can play in the G chord but sing in D ? George Malen No , that would help if you sing in B flat . The most reasonable thing to do would be to put your capo on the second fret so that every chord you play is in D and not C .

How to Use a Luggage Strap Coauthored by wikiHow Staff In this Article Securing Your Luggage Selecting a Luggage Strapp Community QA References For those who travel often the hassle of a bag coming open is one to be avoided at all costs Zippers and clasps are no guarantee that your bad will stay shut so a luggage strap is a good safety measure to keep your bag closed Youll want to buy one that helps make your bag more recognizable and consider choosing a strap with a lock feature You can use a luggage strap to keep one bag closed tightly or to attach two bags to each other to keep them together during transit Method 1 Securing Your Luggage 1 Wrap the strap around a hardsided piece of luggage One use for luggage straps is to keep luggage from accidentally popping open at some point during transit Hardsided luggage usually has locks or clasps that can occasionally be damaged if they are thrown around For hard sided luggage that has some sort of clasp on the top wrap the strap around the luggage so that it keeps the luggage closed Place the buckle in the middle of the front or back side Cinch the strap tight against the luggage but not so much that it bends the luggage The strap should be at a right angle to the opening of the bag 2 Make sure the strap crosses the zipper of a softsided piece of luggage Softsided luggage that is packed tightly can occasionally burst at the seams A strap will help keep the luggage closed if it bursts its seams Pull it tight enough that if the zipper comes open the strap will keep the bag closed tightly 3 Strap multiple pieces of luggage together Stand your largest piece of luggage upright with handle extended Set the next largest piece on top leaning against the handle Wrap the strap under the bottom and around both pieces going through the middle of a handle with two posts or just to the edge of a handle with one post Buckle the strap on the front middle of the lower piece of luggage Cinch it tightly enough that the top piece does not move around but not so tight that either piece of luggage bends under the pressure Youll want to try your best to make it so that the handle will still shut as it will not be able to stay extended during transit 4 Secure any remaining length of strap Once the strap is secured around the luggage there may be some of the strap that is loose To avoid this loose cloth getting caught on something in transit wrap it around the portion thats flat against the luggage and tie it in place Most luggage straps are adjustable to different lengths so when you have it set for a smaller piece of luggage than the maximum youre likely to have some extra Method 2 Selecting a Luggage Strapp 1 Select an eyecatching color It can be fairly easy to get your luggage mixed up with someone elses so a luggage strap is a great way to differentiate your luggage from all of the others If you can choose a strap of bright pink or green or with a multicolored pattern it will give your luggage the pop it needs to be more recognizable If you are traveling as a family and you have similar luggage it can also be an easy way to identify whose is whose 2 Pay attention to the type of buckle Most luggage straps have the type of buckle on which you pinch the sides to release it This is probably the easiest type of release to choose Its good to test the buckle out to make sure it is easy to open but not so easy that it will open if it is jostled Some straps may come with a buckle that is similar to a belt which would require you to weave the strap itself through a metal or plastic clasp This type is not recommended as it will take you longer to secure around your luggage 3 Choose a locking strap for added security Luggage straps help hold your luggage closed but they can also provide protection against theft Some straps come with a 3digit combination that must be selected before the clasp opens This can be a deterrent for potential thieves who would consider getting into your bag While the security aspect is great some people do advise against locking straps because they say it can pose a hold up with TSA who may wish to check your luggage and would be unable to Its possible to purchase TSA approved luggage locks These locks are made so that a master key which TSA agents have can unlock the lock You can purchase these locks at most airports and travel accessory stores To make things easier it is probably best to write down the combination and keep it somewhere you can get to it easily You dont want to be stuck somewhere without the ability to get into your luggage Community QA Question How do I reset the combination on a TSA luggage lock on a strap wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Once it is unlocked simply pull off the numbers and place them back in whatever order you want Not Helpful 0 Helpful 0 Ask a Question Submit Tips It might be beneficial to wrap your luggage with two straps forming a cross pattern to make them extra secure If you have been using your luggage strap for a while it is a good idea to give it a once over to make sure it is still in good condition If the strap is worn out it might break while in use

How to Use the Dry Pail Method for Cloth Diapers Author Info Explore this Article Steps Ask a Question Related Articles References Parents who opt for cloth diapers need to find an effective method of storing those diapers after their baby or toddler soils them . The two basic methods of dirty diaper storage are wet pail and dry pail . As their names imply , wet pail involves submerging the diapers in water until you can wash them , while dry pail simply does not use any water . Dry pail is generally considered simpler and safer , and it is the more popular method of the two . Steps 1 Use a pail with a lid . A lidded container will trap most of the odor inside . Select one with a capacity of 20 to 24 quarts to make sure that you have enough room to store two days worth of cloth diapers . A flip - top garbage can usually works well and allows air to circulate inside the container , preventing the odor from becoming too overwhelmingly potent while minimizing the amount that seeps out . If you have rowdy youngsters , however , you may wish to consider a container with a tighter seal , since these are more likely to remain closed if accidentally tipped over . 2 Line your pail with a nylon or PUL tote . If you do not line your pail , you will need to clean it out separately every time you wash a load of diapers . A cloth pail liner can be removed and washed alongside the diapers , saving you time and energy . Do not use bags made of cotton or other woven fabrics , however , since these will absorb the odor and moisture from the soiled diapers . Instead , use a bag made of nylon , PUL , or another water - resistant or laminated fabric . Alternatively , use a disposable plastic bag to line the pail . Plastic bags will contain the moisture and odor created by your baby ' s diapers , and they do not need to be washed afterward . You will need to change the bag each time you wash a load of cloth diapers , though , which can get costly and wasteful . 3 Sprinkle baking soda into the bottom of the pail or use a deodorant disc . Generally , 1 / 4 cup baking soda should be enough to greatly reduce the potency of diaper - related odors . Pour it directly into the bottom of the container or into the liner . You can also sit a reusable deodorant disc at the bottom of the container , but make sure you do not accidentally wash this disc . 4 Remove any solid waste from the cloth diaper before sticking it into the pail . You do not need to worry about waste from babies still on breastmilk or formula , since it is water soluble and will not be solid enough to remove . Babies and toddlers on solids will have more solid waste , however . Dump this waste off into the toilet . Allowing it to fester inside the dirty diaper pail will only intensify the odor , and it may also lead to a less thorough cleansing when the time comes to actually wash the cloth diapers . 5 Separate and unroll the diapers . Most cloth diapers consist of an absorbent insert and a waterproof outer covering . Separate the pieces before throwing them into your pail so that you do not need to separate them before throwing them into the washing machine . These pieces must be separated for the wash ; otherwise , the diapers may not be cleaned as thoroughly . 6 Dampen a towel with vinegar or essential oil to reduce odor . Tea tree and lavender oils are the most commonly used essential oils . A few drops , soaked into an absorbent fabric rag or paper towel , can greatly cut down the odor of ammonia that urine - soaked diapers produce . A few drops of vinegar can accomplish the same task . Note that some dirty diaper bags have a small strip of fabric sewn into the inner seam of the bag . This strip of fabric is specially designed for deodorizing purposes , so if your dirty diaper bag has it , add your essential oils or vinegar directly to this strip . 7 Lay a fabric softener sheet on top of the diapers to reduce odor . Even though many cloth diaper experts do not recommend drying your baby ' s diapers with fabric softener sheets , laying a sheet on top of the dirty diapers in your dry pail can be an effective counter - measure against particularly smelly diapers . Gravitate toward sheets that use baking soda rather than those that contain a lot of perfume . Perfume can interact negatively with the odors produced by your baby ' s diapers and may actually make the situation worse . 8 Add a few more sprinkles of baking soda as needed . If you do not want to use essential oils , vinegar , or fabric softener sheets , stick with baking soda . As your pail gets fuller , the baking soda you initially sprinkled at the bottom will become less and less effective at eliminating odors . An additional , small sprinkle of baking soda on top of your dirty diapers can go a long way in freshening things up again . 9 Empty your pail every two days . You should aim to wash your child ' s dirty diapers within 48 hours , especially if you use the dry pail method . Otherwise , ammonia and other hazards , both chemical and bacterial , can build up and create health problems . Community Q&A Ask a Question Can you answer these readers ' questions ? On How to Transfer a House Deed to a Family Member , a reader asks : Can a parent ' s home be transferred into my name after her death without using an attorney if I have a living trust stating that I am to inherit the property ?

How to Pass a Drug Test With Home Remedies Will the vinegar and DIY method work to help me pass a hair drug test if only used a few times ? Tips Get at least two pail liners . This way , when one liner is in the wash , you can already have a clean liner in the pail in case you and your baby need it . Consider pail liners with elastic around the top . Elastic holds the liner in place more firmly than bags and totes with free , loose tops . Warnings Do not machine dry nylon totes . Some water - resistent fabrics , like PUL , can be washed and dried by machine , but nylon is not one of those fabrics . Nylon can be washed by machine , but it will likely get damaged if machine dried .

or The Lonely Island Part 2 Parodying an Existing Song 1 Pick a good song to parody It needs to be a song that people recognize instantly so a current pop hit or an old standard would be a good choice Again make sure its also a song that appeals to your target audience If youre writing a parody song for your friends who love hip hop you might pick a Kanye West song instead of a Katy Perry song Pick a song with a distinct chorus and verses The more separate and obvious the verses and choruses of a song are the easier it will be to write your parody The chorus can be repeated multiple times and youll only need to write new words for the verses Pick a song you like Parody writers generally admire the songs that they parody and decide to make them funnier Youll also have to listen to the song many times to write the lyrics so dont pick a song that you dislike 1 Listen to your song Listen to the song a few times to get a feeling for the beat and the flow of the lyrics Start thinking about good substitutes for words in the songs Some parodies will come naturally because the words may sound like other more funny words or plots For example Weird Als Eat It and White and Nerdy started out as Beat It and Ridin Dirty Think about potential substitutes The kind of lyrics youll want to write obviously depend on your sense of humor and the type of song but there are different things you can look out for Listen for words in the chorus that could be substituted for other words especially if the new words are silly or ridiculous Sugar by Maroon 5 might become Booger while Hotline Bling by Drake could become Burger King 2 Leave some phrases For some songs you may not have to change certain lyrics If some lines could have double meanings leave them to create extra comedic effect For example TNT by ACDC could become an education song about actual explosives while Stone Cold by Demi Lovato could turn into a song about the wrestler 3 Start generating the theme for your parody Youll want your parody to have a cohesive theme from start to finish Some parodies tell stories while others describe situations or types of people Either way youll want the chorus and verses to play off of each other instead of having them be disjointed or about topics that dont match up Change a word to something silly to generate your theme Once you have one funny word like Booger instead of Sugar or Burger King instead of Hotline Bling build the rest of the song around it Burger King could be about working at a Burger King or going on a late night run for fast food while Booger could turn into a story about gross bodily functions Make up a story If you havent found any substitute words yet simply make up your own topic The more off the wall it is the funnier your parody will be Work by Rihanna could become a story about hating your job while Trap Queen by Fetty Wap could turn into a story about a female fur trapping expert from Alaska Write educational content with a sense of humor Write a ChristianPopstyle song about Charles Darwin or a song about geology to the tune of I Love Rock and Roll Make sure to include all of the information you want to teach in your educational song the catchier it is the easier the material will be to remember Part 3 Making a Genre Parody 1 Pick a genre with lots of stereotypes that are funny and easy to exploit Every style of music has its own idiosyncrasies and stereotypes that are easy to make fun of Pop music is repetitive and silly metal is loud and angry country musicians only sing about exgirlfriends and trucks Remember your target audience too it wont make any sense to parody a classic rock song if none of your audience is old enough to remember ACDC or Queen 2 Find or record a generic instrumental A genre parody will require different resources than a song parody Since youre making fun of a style of music instead of a single song you will be able to use any instrumental track in that genre and it wont have to be well known or recognizable Check online for databases of instrumental tracks Some are free while others youll have to pay for If youre a musician record or make the track yourself If you make the track youll have a little more creative control over your parody Youll be able to ham up silly elements of a genre like long breakdowns or overthetop synthesizer choruses 3 Decide what aspects of the genre to parody There are many things about music genres that make them irritating or fun to parody Subject matter of songs attitudes of performers or aspects of the music itself can be parodied Make fun of the subject matter Flight of the Concords and The Lonely Islands are two bands that love to parody stupid or silly lyrics and subject matter check out their parodies for some examples The more vapid meaningless or overthetop the subjects and lyrics of your chosen genre the easier they will be to make fun of Parody the attitudes and actions of the genres performers Acts like Dethklok The Rutles and Spinal Tap are great examples of this All poke fun at the way that their genres performers sing act and view the world The Rutles for example performed in a feature called All You Need is Cash making fun of the Beatles commercialization Dethklok parodies metal musicians hyper masculinity violence and anger in the show Metalocalypse Note that these more elaborate parodies often involve dressing and acting like the musicians so they will be more effective if you make a music video for your parody Parody aspects of the music Every genre has memorable and unique musical characteristics make them easy to parody For example you might parody excessively long guitar solos in classic rock songs corny saxophone runs in an 80s ballad or apocalyptic sounding rap beats 4 Pick a topic for your parody Even if youre just parodying a part of a genre youll still need a whole songs worth of lyrics Pick a funny subject andor a very stereotypical one for your genre a country parody might be about having 20 tractors while a pop parody might be about a veiled innuendo Consider unexpected topics Some parodies are humorous because they introduce topics you didnt expect in a specific category For example Mac Sabbath perform songs in the style of Black Sabbath but sing about fast food You might consider writing a gangster rap song about working in an office or an easy listening song about a crazy party Part 4 Writing the Lyrics 1 Write the lyrics Once youve nailed down a theme and a few funny phrases here and there flesh out the rest of the song It might take a while and a lot of brainstorming so get ready to be creative Your lyrics will depend on whether youre writing a song parody or a genre parody In general song parodies will require more attention to detail while genre parodies only have to fit the backing track 2 Start with a blank sheet of paper Write in pencil so you can erase parts of the song if you change your mind Dont worry about changing the lyrics too many times part of the creative process is getting rid of ideas when they dont work Listen to the song slowly stopping the track after each phrase writing down lyrics that come to mind If you are more of a digital person then you can do this on the computer using a word editing program such as Notepad or Microsoft Word 3 Write the chorus first The chorus contains the hook and is the main part of the song so start there first Listen to the chorus as many times as you need to while writing If youre writing a song parody pay close attention to the flow of the words and the chorus melody You want to match these as closely as possible Pay attention to the line breaks Dont write everything out in a single paragraph Try to keep each sentence in its own line 4 Work on the verses in order Start with the first chorus and work your way to the end of the song counting bridges and breakdowns as verses too Youll want to work from the beginning to the end so that your song makes sense all the way through If you write separate verses in a random order the plot of your song may not make sense 5 Match rhymes and rhythms if youre writing a song parody The more your song sounds like the original the better and funnier the parody will be Your listener will immediately recognize a famous tune but if your lyrics and rhythm dont match the original theyll only be confused Try to closely match the types of words and descriptions as closely as possible listening to the song as many times as you need to Match the rhythm and flow of the lyrics and dont try to cram too many words into a single phrase More words may help you tell your story but it wont sound much like the original song Try to rhyme your lyrics with the actual song While it may be really difficult try to rhyme the words in your song with the words in the real song This will help it sound more like the original Use a rhyming dictionary if you get stuck 6 Exaggerate a genre parody The more outrageous and silly your genre parody is the funnier it will be In The Lonely Islands Jack Sparrow the group makes fun of rap songs with epic choruses and the choruses get more and more ridiculous and epic each time they come around Dont be afraid to ham it up a little bit for comedic effect Part 5 Recording the Parody 1 Find or make an instrumental track The instrumental track will be the backbone of your song so youll want it to be of good quality The type of track you make or download will be different depending on which type of parody you want to make Find an official instrumental If youre parodying a current song youll often be able to find an instrumental of the backing track on the artists album or website If you cant find what youre looking for search online for the instrumental on Soundcloud or Youtube DJs and electronic artists often get exclusive copies of the tracks and share them Use a karaoke track While karaoke tracks can sound a little corny or canned they might work well enough for what you want to make Search karaoke archives or websites for the track that you need You may have to pay for these tracks however Edit your own instrumental It may be possible to edit the lyrics out of the song you want to parody Certain plugins for audio editing software can remove vocals or you can cut and paste sections of a song with no lyrics to make a wordfree version The quality of your product will depend a lot on your editing skills and the type of song Play the song on your own instruments If youre skilled with a guitar piano or other instruments make your own backing track Record and edit it before you lay down vocals to make sure that you have the verses and choruses in the right places 2 Record your vocals Use recording software and a microphone to record your vocals Use audio editing software that came with your computer such as Garageband or download open source software like Audacity Edit your recording Do a few takes of your vocals and then pick and choose which are best You can edit together better performances of verses and choruses to make the best recording possible 3 Share your parody Upload your song to a platform like Soundcloud iTunes Facebook Myspace Bandcamp or Youtube This will allow many people to check out your creation Dont forget to spread the word across your own social media profiles The more interest you create the more views youll receive If you upload on Youtube consider making a music video to complement your parody Many popular Youtube videos are parodies and their videos are as funny as their songs Buy or borrow a good camera film and edit a video to go with your song to create an even bigger impression Community QA Question How can I get the background music without the singing included wikiHow Contributor

How to Get Veiny Arms Coauthored by wikiHow Staff In this Article Article Summary Making Your Veins Pop Making Veins More Visible Improving Vascular Health Community QA References Its a sign of a cut body Bodybuilders pro wrestlers and other jackedup athletes always seem to have bulging veins The easiest place to get your veins to pop out and become more visible is in your forearms which you can learn to do with a lean frame as well as learn to lose body fat to make those veins more easily visible on your body Part 1 Making Your Veins Pop 1 Try doing twenty pushups If you notice that the veins in your arms pop out sometimes but not at other times drop and do twenty pushups This is the fastest and easiest way to get your veins to pop out quickly The exercise forces blood into your forearm muscles as well as gravity If you can never see veins in your arms and doing pushups doesnt work you may need to work out to lower your body fat percentage before your veins will be visible Skip to the next section 2 Flex your forearms If you dont feel like doing any pushups or arent able to pump your forearms up a little by clenching and unclenching your fists Lay your hands out palm side up on a flat surface Now grasp both your hands to make them in to fists gripping your hand into a fist then letting go Continue this in a pumping action This action should force blood into your forearms an effect called vasodilation as youve forced your muscles to require more oxygen and thus forced more blood to flow into the area making the veins appear more prominent Stress balls or gripclamps are also good tools to use to give your fist some resistance as well 3 Let your arms hang down If youve got lean arms and big veins sometimes all youve got to do is let your arms hang down to get as much blood to fall into your extremities as possible which can cause your veins to pop out Easy and it works If you can hang over the back of the couch or the kitchen counter or some other surface that you can lean your armpits against and let your arms dangle You might start getting that pins and needles feeling if you get too much blood in your arms and theyll fall asleep Stop what youre doing when and if this happens 4 Wear a shirt with tight sleeves Muscle shirts are often worn tight to make muscles bulge and veins pop While its not recommended that you wear clothes that restrict blood flow which is unhealthy for your veins muscles and your heart it is possible to roll up the sleeves on a shirt to make a regularfitting shirt tighter or to wear a tightfitting shirt that will have the same effect Cutting off the blood flow to any part of your body is never recommended Never use tourniquets or other tiedoff bands to force the veins to the surface in your arms If left in place too long this can cause irreparable tissue damage or even result in the loss of a limb Part 2 Making Veins More Visible 1 Work out to target body fat Simply put the lower your body fat the more your veins will pop out Most peoples abs start showing at 1210 body fat and veins will start appearing on the arms and elsewhere on the body at about the same point The great thing about your arms is that you dont carry too much body fat in this area so its a little easier to get your veins to show in your forearms and biceps versus trying to get veins to show in your abs where you carry most of your body fat 2 Work out your upper body Along with cardio and a clean diet the best ways to lose weight and get the veins in your arms to pop out is to target your arms specifically You need to choose the right exercises to build up your arm muscles in order to add lean muscle mass to your biceps triceps and forearms The following are great for high volume veinpopping exercises Bicep curls Tricep extensions Skull crushers Close grip benchpress Pullups Forearm curls Forearm extensions 3 Do high volume sets To get your veins to show more visibly you want your workouts to focus on toning not bulking That means lower weight at a greater volume For example instead of curling doing 8 reps of 50 pounds curl 30 pounds for 40 reps This will cause you to tone and strengthen the specific area youre targeting 4 Do grip exercises Heavy farmers walks forearm curls reversed grip bicep curls and other gripstyle exercises are great ways of building lean muscle in your forearms and increasing the vasodilation that occurs You should notice your veins popping while you do these exercises Generally its recommended that forearm exercises should consist of an appropriate number of reps to end in muscle failure More reps less weight If you dont have access to a gym try to do some dead hangs on a doorframe These build up massive forearm vascularity forearm strength and finger strength Just put your fingers on the top of the doorframe and hang for as long as you can Do a few every day and eventually add some pullups to the routine 5 Incorporate cardio into your workout routine Vascular health is a key component to getting ripped and developing veiny arms There are two types of cardio you can choose to incorporate into your fitness plan Slow and steady cardio is the normal type of cardio where you work at a moderate intensity such as riding the elliptical walking on the treadmill or riding the bike The other form of cardio is called HIIT high intensity interval training and this is when you do super high intensity cardio for a short amount of time 2030 minutes and you do short intervals with rest in between them An example of a HIIT cardio workout would be ten 100 yard sprints with 60 seconds rest in between them An example of a slow and steady cardio workout would be 45 minutes on the elliptical machine Part 3 Improving Vascular Health 1 Find your weight loss calorie count Less body fat percentage more visible veins Its pretty much as simple as that Calculate your daily calorie needs based on your body weight age sex and height and figure out how many calories you need on a daily basis to keep your frame trim If you want a relatively easy and handsoff way of tracking your calories and exercise regimen consider signing up for a Fit Tracker account or some other app which will help to facilitate your weight loss plan 2 Try tilapia While its somewhat unproven tilapia is exceptionally rich in selenium which is thought to promote weight loss muscle growth and is thought by some to actually help to thin the skin making it easier to see your veins Its efficacy for this function is debatable but its a fact that tilapia is exceptionally good for you rich in lean protein and low in fat and calories making it an excellent addition to a healthy diet 3 Eat more lean protein Since animal products like meat dairy and eggs have a good amount of fat aim for vegetables higher in protein and lower in fat such as broccoli spinach mushrooms and kale In order to get tree branch veins in your arms you need to really focus on eating a clean diet rich in lean protein Aim for about one gram per pound of body weight if you hope to build lean muscle and get your veins to the surface Your diet is the most important aspect of your fitness plan you need to focus on if you really want to reduce your body fat percentage The type of calories you put into your body and the overall amount of calories are absolutely critical to building lean muscle mass and burning fat Lean chicken eggs and fish are all a good source of protein but also can make you gain weight Go for proteinrich soy and legumes 4 Lower your sodium intake Try to limit the amount of sodium that you take in so you can eliminate the water weight that youre holding onto which will get your skin to tighten around your muscles and get your veins to pop The less salt you take in the more visible your veins One bodybuilding trick thats not recommended is limiting the amount of water you drink before a show While this does work in eliminating the water weight and getting your skin to tighten its not recommended for overall vascular health Eliminate the salt instead and youll get the same effect Stay well hydrated 5 Eat slowdigesting carbohydrates Along with limiting your salt intake increasing the amount of slowdigesting carbs that you take in can help to eliminate the water weight that youre holding onto helping you slim down quickly and get your veins to pop out Carbs with a low giindex such as rice sweet potato and brown bread help to process out the sodium in your system and make your veins more visible especially after workouts

0 Helpful 11 Question I have no veins in my hands What can I do Abhinav4848 Community Answer Its anatomically impossible to not have veins in your arms Work out especially strength train to make the veins pop up Also very young people will not have prominent veins It begins to appear once youre quite into your teens Not Helpful 4 Helpful 30 Question Can I gain vascularity in my forearms and arms by squeezing a hand grip wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Yes you can Not Helpful 0 Helpful 7 Question How does lowering salt intake make your veins pop up wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Because salt absorbs water the body has to store more water as a basis for dissolution When salt intake is lowered that means the body has to store less water Water is often stored between the skin and muscles lowering water means the skin is tighter around the muscles which in turn leads to more visible veins Not Helpful 8 Helpful 31 Question Which exercise should I do to lower the fat percentage in my body wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Lifting When you work bigger muscle groups you burn more fat Lifting also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism While cardio is obviously great for burning fat running on the treadmill for hours on end has actually been proven to be the least effective way of burning fat as your body eventually acclimates your metabolism and causes you to burn fewer calories If youre afraid of lifting try doing HIIT HighIntensityIntervalTraining Basically alternate between short bursts of high intensity cardio and medium intervals of low intensity Doing this for 15 minutes is more effective than doing lowintensity cardio Not Helpful 5 Helpful 18 Question Can I get veiny arms by drinking more water wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Not by drinking water alone You need to exercise and burn fat to get the veins to pop Though diet and water intake are very important factors too Not Helpful 0 Helpful 3 Question How do I tighten my biceps fast wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Do chair dips pushups planks and counter pushups daily You will see results in less than 30 days Not Helpful 8 Helpful 14 Question How can I tell the difference between veins and arteries wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Veins are blue since they are returning deoxygenated blood to the heart Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the tissue and organs that need oxygen Not Helpful 45 Helpful 37 Question I work out daily and have been for almost a year but I have no sign of bulging veins Why not wikiHow Contributor Community Answer Youll probably have to lower your body fat percentage to see your veins Try a low carb high protein diet Not Helpful 5 Helpful 6 Question How many reps of 10 kg should I do to make my veins visible wikiHow Contributor Community Answer It depends on how strong you are but start with 3 sets of 10 reps If thats too easy for you progress to 5 sets of 10 reps When thats too easy try adding more weight andor increase the number of reps in each set Not Helpful 4 Helpful 4 Show more answers Unanswered Questions What can I do if the veins o hand pop out sometim Answer this question Flag as How

How to Get Rid of Stink Bugs Coauthored by wikiHow Staff ReaderApproved 11 References In this Article Article Summary Removing Stink Bugs From Your Home Keeping Stink Bugs Out Community QA 11 References Stink bugs are small harmless bugs that happen to emit a horrible smell when crushed These insects can be a huge nuisance but there are many ways you can keep them at bay Carefully sweep up or trap stink bugs in your home to prevent their stench from being released You can keep these bugs away from your home by sealing holes cutting down on lighting and spraying your outside walls with insecticide Part 1 Removing Stink Bugs From Your Home 1 Leave stink bugs intact to prevent the release of their odor Stink bugs are named for the terrible smell that is emitted when they are crushed Avoid the temptation to squish or step on stink bugs when you spot them A pungent odor will be released in your home if you do 2 Sweep up stink bugs and flush them down the toilet The best way to catch and get rid of stink bugs is to use a dust pan and brush to collect them Sweep the bugs into the dust pan gently to avoid crushing them Shake them into the toilet where you can flush them away before they have the chance to release their odor Avoid vacuuming up the stink bugs as the pressure of the machine may crush them and trap their odor in your vacuum 3 Place sticky traps around your home to trap and track stink bugs Purchase sticky insect traps from your local hardware store and place them in each room of your home This will allow you to catch the bugs but also to see where the highest number of bugs are located in your home Dispose of the traps and replace them as needed until the stink bugs are gone Place traps on windowsills to catch stink bugs as they try to enter your home Be sure to keep sticky traps out of reach of pets and children Avoid putting sticky traps outside where they might trap small animals or beneficial pollinators like bees 4 Kill stink bugs by spraying them with soap vinegar and hot water Pour 05 cups 120 ml of vinegar and 025 cups 59 ml of dish soap into a spray bottle Add 1 cup 240 ml of hot water and swirl the mixture to combine it Spray this solution on stink bugs at a close range to kill them instantly Note that the cleanup after this killing method may be messy 5 Knock stink bugs into a bucket of soapy water Stink bugs drown quickly in soapy water which may hinder the release of their stench or mask the smell Fill a bucket with hot water and dish soap Knock stink bugs off of walls curtains or other high surfaces into the solution You can also sweep up the bugs and drop them into the water When youre ready to discard the bugs you collected simply flush them down the toilet 6 Build a lighted stink bug trap out of a plastic bottle Cut the top off a large plastic soda bottle and invert it placing it back on top of the bottle upside down Use strong tape to attach a batteryoperated light to the bottom of the bottle shining upwards Leave the trap in a dark area of your home so that stink bugs will crawl in trying to get to the light and get trapped Apply masking tape or small pieces of foam to the sides of the plastic bottle to create traction making it easier for the stink bugs to crawl in Make multiple lighted traps to get rid of stink bugs quickly Part 2 Keeping Stink Bugs Out 1 Seal cracks around the building with caulking Stink bugs are likely to come into your house by way of cracks or holes on its exterior Use a urethane caulking gun to fill in small gaps Do this yearly to keep your home in solid shape Pay special attention to areas near doors and windows 2 Replace or repair damaged window screens Stink bugs can enter your home through tiny holes in your window screens Check your screens for holes and tears and close up tiny spots with superglue Patch up any holes that are larger than 1 inch 25 cm by applying a screen material patch with strong adhesive If damage to the screen is very extensive replace it entirely Consider adding screens to other possible entry points to your home like the opening of your chimney pipe or gutter openings drains and vents 3 Rub a dryer sheet on your window screens The fragrance of dryer sheets is said to repel stink bugs To add a layer of protection to your home wipe a dryer sheet over the surface of each of your window screens The scent will linger on the mesh wire and deter stink bugs from trying to enter your home For large window screens use 2 dryer sheets to cover their entire surface 4 Make a peppermint spray to repel stink bugs Pour 2 cups 470 ml of water into a spray bottle Add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil to the bottle and shake it to mix the ingredients Spray the mixture around bug entryways like windows and doors to deter bugs from entering your home You can also spray the mixture outdoors around your home to keep stink bugs at bay 5 Spray the outside of your home with bifenthrin insecticide in the fall Buy bifenthrin insecticide at your local hardware store to apply to your outdoor walls in September or October Test the spray on a hidden corner of your home and wait a few days to make sure it doesnt cause damage to the siding If it doesnt spray the chemical over the entire surface of each outside wall Spray the pesticide upwards to ensure that the entire surface is coated evenly Wear goggles and protective clothing in case some pesticide falls on you as you spray Dont spray your garden trees or other foliage with the intention of killing stink bugs For an easier solution consider calling a professional exterminator to do the job 6 Minimize lighting outside of your home Stink bugs are attracted to light and lighting just outside of your home could make it a beacon for the insects Keep lighting directly outside of the front and back entrances of your home minimal Turn off your porch light when you are not using it As an alternative purchase a motiondetector light to avoid having outdoor lights on unnecessarily 7 Place a lighted dish soap trap outside your home Catch stink bugs that might be making their way towards your home by placing a large pan of soapy water outside overnight Position a lamp so that it is shining onto the trap making it irresistible to nearby bugs Stink bugs will crawl into the trap and drown in the soapy water Note that this trap may catch other

How to Deworm Cats Co - authored by Pippa Elliott , MRCVS Explore this Article Diagnosing Your Cat ' s Worms Treating Your Cat for Worms Giving Your Cat Oral Medication Show 1 more . . . Expert Q&A Related Articles References Several types of worms can infect cats . The four most common are roundworms , hookworms , tapeworms , and heartworms . Not only do these worms pose a danger to your cat , but some of them can also infect humans and all of them can infect other household pets , so in addition to deworming kittens , recently adopted cats , and cats with symptoms , all cat owners should discuss a regular program of parasite testing and control with their veterinarians . Knowing when to deworm a cat is as important as knowing how to deworm it Method 1 Diagnosing Your Cat ' s Worms 1 Check the fecal matter . The most common sign of worms is actual worms . Look at your cat ’ s stool for them . Tapeworm segments often break off and come out in your cat ' s feces . These segments look like little rice grains . When fresh , they may even move like little worms . Look for diarrhea . A number of issues can cause diarrhea in cats , but all intestinal worms , including roundworms , hookworms , and tapeworms could potentially cause runny fecal matter . In other instances , your cat may develop blood from colon and intestinal irritation . Take a bag and collect these worms for your vet to examine . 2 Look out for vomiting . Roundworms can cause vomiting in cats . Cats may even vomit up adult roundworms . They ’ ll look like spaghetti noodles . Vomiting is also a potential symptom of heartworms . Like with their fecal matter , you should try to collect it into a small bag . Your vet will want to examine their throw up for parasites or signs of other conditions . Remember that vomiting is not an automatic sign of worms . It could be any number of issues . 3 Keep track of their weight . Cats with intestinal worms or heartworms may experience weight loss . Sometimes , the change may be drastic and other times it might be marginal . It all depends on the size and quantity of the worms . In other cases , your cat may develop an extended stomach — often called a “ pot - belly ” . If your cat ’ s belly has become rounded , it may be suffering from roundworms . 4 Check your cat ’ s gums . Normally , a cat ’ s gums should be pink . Parasites , like many worms cause gums to turn pale through anemia or sheer shock . If you cat has pale gums , schedule a vet appointment . If your cat has difficulty breathing or is lethargic , seek emergency assistance . 5 Learn what type of worms your cat has . It ' s important to know the kind of worms your cat has so that you can begin treatment . Your vet will be able to tell you this and prescribe medication and treatment accordingly . Though you do n ' t really need to understand the intricacies of each type of worm , here are the main worms you ' ll be dealing with : Roundworms are the most common parasites in cats . Nursing kittens can get them from a mother ' s milk while adult cats can get them from infected feces . Tapeworms are segmented parasites that can often be seen around the fur of a cat ' s hind quarters . They can be acquired from ingesting fleas . Hookworms are smaller than roundworms and reside in the small intestine . A cat can be infected from skin contact or ingestion . They are more common in dogs . Lungworms reside in a cat ' s lungs and are a less common parasite . They can be acquired through ingestion of a host , such as a bird or a rodent . Heartworms are possibly the most dangerous of all . Mosquitoes bite infected animals , taking little heartworm larvae in with their blood meal . The larvae grow and the next time a mosquito bites into an animal ( like your cat ) , it injects the heartworms into the bloodstream . 6 Take your cat to the vet . Do not think that you can cure your cat on your own — you ' ll need to take your cat to the vet , who will check your cat ' s stool sample and confirm the presence of worms . If you can , try to collect a stool sample ahead of time for this test . If your vet suspects heartworm disease , they may take a routine blood sample . There are many different types of worms and the treatment for one will not work for another , so it ' s important to know exactly what you ' re dealing with before you begin a course of treatment . Typically , deworming medication should be administered bi - weekly or monthly . The treatment is not a one - time deal . You may see some web sites that tell you that you can treat your cat " naturally " at home with some herbs and spices . Ignore this kind of information and take your pet to an animal health care professional . Take newly - adopted or newly - born kittens to the vet for deworming . This is a routine procedure , whether or not you think that your cat actually has worms . Kittens should be dewormed every 2 weeks from 6 weeks of age until 3 months , and then monthly until they are 6 months old . Adopted kittens should be dewormed immediately , with at least 2 additional treatments two - weeks apart each . Mothers can also pass worms on to their kittens . Method 2 Treating Your Cat for Worms Give your cat their prescription . Obtain the necessary medication from your veterinarian . You should never try to medicate with over - the - counter dewormers without checking first with your veterinarian , especially with kittens . Though it ' s most likely that your cat will be given a series of pills , other medications can come in the forms of tablets , capsules , granules , chewables , liquids , and topical treatments . Do not try to choose the medication yourself ; listen to your vet ’ s instructions for both how and how often the medication should be administered . Once you know what medication you should give your cat and how often you should administer it , it ' s important to follow the entire course of treatment that has been recommended by your veterinarian . Whether it is oral or topical , you must administer the medication to your kitty for the entire course of the treatment . Be prepared for side effects . The important thing is that they are more poisonous to the parasites ( the worms ) than they are to the host ( your kitty ) . This is why it ' s important to get help from a vet and to give your cat medication exactly as you ' re instructed to do . Some side effects include diarrhea and vomiting . Talk to your vet about what is and is not expected as a side effect from this medication , and make sure that your cat is reacting appropriately . 3 Treat roundworms and hookworms . The most common medication for roundworms and hookworms in adult cats include pyrantel pamoate , milbemycin oxime , and selamectin . Pyrantel pamoate and milbemycin oxime are oral medications and selamectin is a topical medication . In the United States , pyrantel pamoate is available over the counter , and selamectin and milbemycin oxime are available only with a prescription . Selamectin is not appropriate for use in kittens under 8 weeks of age , so young kittens are wormed with oral wormers . 4 Tackle tapeworms . The two medications most commonly used to treat tapeworms are praziquantel and epsiprantel . Both are oral medications . Praziquantel is available over the counter , and epsiprantel requires a prescription . Generally , your veterinarian will want to perform another fecal test after treatment to make sure the medication has done its job . Be sure to follow your veterinarian ' s instructions about giving the wormer and scheduling rechecks to make sure the treatment is effective . 5 Go in for a check - up . Your vet will tell you when the next time you should come back will be . Make sure to follow directions and to bring back your kitty , whether it ' s for another round of treatment or just to confirm that the worm problem has been solved . It ' s important to visit your vet when you have been told to visit so that you can make sure your kitty is healthy and happy . Giving Your Cat Oral Medication Prepare the medication . Shake up the bottle if necessary or take the pills out of the bottle . You may have to place a liquid medication into an oral syringe or eye dropper . Your vet will let you know what is the ideal delivery system . Keep it out of your cat ’ s sight . Your cat may spot the pill or liquid medication bottle and preemptively run away . Sometimes , it ' s a good idea to prepare the medications and then wait several minutes for your cat to calmly return to you so that you can safely handle him or her . Keep your kitty calm . Once you have been given the prescribed treatment for your cat ' s worms , you will need to know how to administer it . It can get a bit tricky to give a cat oral medication , but it can be done well as long as you keep your kitty calm and happy . If you are told to administer the medication at home , you ' ll need to know how to calm your cat down to give him the medicine he needs . Bundle your cat up . Wrap your cat in a small blanket , pillowcase , or towel with only its head exposed . This will keep your cat from scratching or fighting you . However , make sure your cat does n ' t feel too scared or suffocated when you do this . You can also try to administer the medication without bundling your cat up . This may ease your cat ' s anxiety , but it will make your cat harder to manage . Hold the cat securely . Sit on the floor and place your cat between your legs or on your lap . You can also have someone hold your cat for you . Having another person helping you out can make the process a lot easier . Hold your cat ’ s head properly . Place your thumb on one side and your forefinger on the other side of your cat ' s mouth . Be careful ; your cat may try to bite you here , but this comes with the territory . 6 Tilt your cat ’ s head back . While doing this , apply pressure gently on the sides of your cat ’ s mouth until its mouth opens . Try to be as calm as possible when you do this . If you ' re anxious , then your cat will sense your anxiety and will also be more worried than necessary . You should press down with the other hand on your cat ' s lower jaw , thus opening its mouth further . 7 Place the medication in your cat ' s mouth . Place the pill in the back of the mouth or squeeze liquid medication in the side of one cheek . Be careful to not put the medication down your cat ' s throat to avoid choking . 8 Help your cat swallow the medication . Here ' s what you need to do to help your cat swallow the medication most effectively : Let your cat close its mouth . Lift your cat ' s jaw so that its nose points upward . Rub your cat ' s throat gently to trigger the swallowing reflex . Maintain the same position for a few seconds or until your cat has swallowed . Be gentle throughout this process . You do n ’ t want your cat to choke on the medicine . 9 Make sure the medication has been swallowed . Release its mouth , but hold onto your cat in case it did not swallow the medication and spits it out . Release your cat only when you are sure that the medication has been swallowed . Spitting out medication is primarily a problem with capsule medication . Liquid medications are more difficult for cats to spit out . 10 Praise your cat for a job well done . Remove the blankets or covers and praise your cat for his or her good behavior . Give your cat treats , attention , and a lot of love for doing so well . This will make the process easier the next time . Your cat should associate it with something good , not something scary . It ' ll fight harder in the future to get away , if it has a bad experience with the medicine or the process . Preventing Worms in the Future Give your cat regular parasite preventative medication . Consult your vet for specifics . Some medications , such as selamectin , act broadly to protect against fleas , heartworms , hookworms , roundworms , and other parasites . Consider keeping your cats indoors . Since other infected cats , fleas , or rodents carry parasites , keeping your cat indoors will reduce their opportunities to contract worms . Many cat owners feel guilty for keeping their cats indoors . They feel like they are depriving their cats in some way . " Should n ’ t my cat be able to express their natural instincts in the fresh air and sunshine ? " This question guides their decision . In order to make this decision properly , you should weigh the pros and cons . Are the risks too great ? Consider road conditions , disease factors , environmental issues , other animals , and other human beings when you make your decision . If you decide to keep your cat indoors to avoid such risks , remember that you can closely replicate the outdoors with scratching posts , windows , and fun things to climb on . Keep fleas out of your home and yard . In general , if your cat stays indoors , then you do n ’ t need to worry about outdoor spaces . Cats are fairly well - adept at killing off fleas especially if they are not inundated with them constantly . So focus on where they spend most of their time . Home : Your primary tactic in the war against fleas should be sanitation . Wash all of your cat ’ s favorite pillows , blankets , and anything else they tend to lay on frequently . You want to wash away fleas , their eggs , and their pupae or young fleas . Thoroughly vacuum your carpet to do the same . If your case is moderate to extreme , consider using a fogger . Make sure you choose a brand that kills fleas and flea eggs . During use , humans and all animals need to clear out of the Yard : Flea control outdoors is much harder . Start by cleaning up organic debris that might harbor fleas like grass clippings , leaves , and straw . Fleas like to hide in dark , moist , and shady areas . Purchase an environmentally safe spray and douse these areas according to the instructions indicated on the product . Frequently clean your cat ' s litter box . Remove feces on a regular basis to stop worms from spreading . Wear disposable plastic gloves and possibly a face mask . You do n ’ t want to breathe in your cat ’ s fecal dust . Scoop all the litter into a garbage bag . Use paper towels and some natural antibacterial spray to wipe out the inside of the litter box . Consider even washing the litter box out thoroughly with soapy water . Then replace with clean litter . Do this once or twice a week depending on your cat ’ s litter box use . Community Q&A Question If my cat vomited up her deworming tablet , should I repeat the dose ? Pippa Elliott , MRCVS Veterinarian , Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Expert Answer If she was sick within a couple of hours , then yes , leave it a day or so and then repeat the dose . If the tablet was in her stomach for longer than 2 hours , then she may well have absorbed a good percentage of the active ingredient , so just wait until she ' s next due for worming . Not Helpful Helpful 27 Question Is it OK to deworm a cat that has an URI ? Pippa Elliott , MRCVS Veterinarian , Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Expert Answer Yes , indeed it can be a good idea as getting rids of worms could boost the immune system . Just be careful how you give the dewormer , especially if the cat has trouble breathing . Also , if the cat is on treatment , check first with the vet to make sure there are no drug interactions . Not Helpful Helpful 13 Can I use Mebex to deworm my cat ? Mebex is a human deworming medication that contains mebendazole . This drug is suitable for use in cats , but it is n ' t licensed for use in this species . This means the law requires you to use a veterinary - approved product first . There are plenty of effective alternatives for use in cats that are licensed , so this would be a better option . 7 20 How I can I deworm a cat that I ca n ' t touch or handle ? She ' s also very particular with her food . This is a tricky one . Fenbendazole ( sold as Panacur ) is odorless and tasteless when chilled , so try put the dose in the fridge and then mixing it with a tasty treat such as fish . However , fenbendazole does not get rid of tapeworms , so if you suspect she has these you need a plan B . Pyrantel ( effective against tapeworm ) comes in an injection and a spot - on form , so if you had someone who could hold the cat steady in a towel while you apply the spot - on 16 Can a cat die from having worms ? wikiHow Staff Editor Staff Answer Yes , cats can die from a severe infestation of worms , and even less severe cases can weaken the immune system and open the door to other infections . Worms can be particularly deadly for kittens that are n ' t treated . After the de - worming treatment , does the amount of worms in the poop initially increase ? Community Answer It can . If the de - worming treatment kills a lot of worms in the bowels , they ' ll be pushed out with the stool , so it will look like there ' s a lot more than usual . 19 Is there a liquid de - worming medicine ? Community Answer Yes . There are a number of liquid de - wormers available . You can get them from your vet . They will let you know how much to give you cat . 16 Wo n ' t cats choke if a pill is put into their throats ? No , they will just automatically swallow it if they do n ' t spit it out . You may have to try several times if your cat spits it out . Cat ' s do n ' t have to chew their food , they just swallow it hole ( look it up ) , so swallowing pills is a natural thing for them . 25 Will a dose of de - wormer cause problems in a pregnant cat ? Probably not , but keep an eye on your cat for any bleeding or discomfort . The babies should be fine , but if you see anything abnormal , take her to a vet . 10 Can I use dog dewormer medication to deworm my cat ?

The Health Benefits of CBD Tincture and How To Make It March 4 , 2018 | by Dianna Benjamin | Health Learn Would n ’ t it be great if you could relieve most symptoms with a single substance ? Thanks to CBD Tincture , many patients are finding relief without having to take Oxycodone for pain management , Emend for nausea , or Xanax for anxiety . So what is this bizarre “ medication ” and why are so many medical patients raving about it ? Here ’ s everything you need to know about CBD tinctures and how to make them . Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . What ’ s a CBD Tincture ? Tinctures , or herb extracts soaked in alcohol , are one of the most effective ways to take herbal medicines . To make a CBD tincture , a CBD high strain of cannabis is soaked in a high proof alcohol and then stored for up to several years . Note that when doing your own research you may find that many people refer to CBD Tincture as CBD Oil . Just know that they ’ re the same thing . Tinctures are also a low calorie , smoke - free alternative . The potency of a tincture generally means that a consumer would only need to take two to three teaspoons of the substance a day . Tinctures have numerous benefits . First , the high alcohol concentration intensifies the herb ’ s effects and expedites the absorption of its chemicals into the body . This is particularly true if the tincture is taken sublingually ( beneath the tongue ) . Because it must travel through the digestive system , the effects of the herb will take a longer time to manifest if taken orally . The arteries beneath the tongue absorb tinctures into the blood stream quite quickly , and users can expect to feel results in 15 to 45 minutes . Finally , the alcohol functions as a preservative , so , unlike other methods of consuming herbs , tinctures usually have a multi - year long shelf life . To make a CBD tincture , you will need the following ingredients and materials : 1 / 8 oz of a high percentage CBD strain 2 ounces of strong alcohol , preferably Everclear 160 or 190 , but strong rum or vodka are also acceptable options . Do not use rubbing ( isopropyl ) alcohol . 2 mason jars 1 - 2 coffee filters an eye dropper In order to convert the inactive THC - A and CBD - A to the active THC and CBD , you must decarboxylate the plant material . To do this , you must place your raw weed in a covered casserole dish and bake it at 245 F for 90 minutes . The plant material will darken and easily crumble . Place the crumbled ( but not powdered ) decarbed cannabis into one of your mason jars along with the alcohol . Let it sit for three hours . After three hours have passed , shake the liquid for 1 - 3 minutes , and then use the coffee filters to strain the liquid into the clean mason jar . Wash out the first mason jar , then strain the liquid again . Store the tincture in the mason jar , and place it in a cool , dark place for a week before using . Make sure to burp your jar once a day during the sitting week to let out the evaporated alcohol . To consume the tincture , use an eyedropper and administer a small amount of the liquid sublingually CBD is an incredibly versatile cannabinoid with an array of therapeutic uses . A CBD tincture is a smoke - free and efficient way to harness the non - toxic , non - pharmaceutical power of the cannabinoid . What is CBD ? THC produces that euphoric sensation , but this article is about another fantastic cannabinoid : CBD ( cannabidiol ) , a non - psychoactive chemical compound of the cannabis plant lauded for its many therapeutic uses CBD , one of the 85 cannabinoids ( active compounds responsible for producing the effects cannabis has on the body ) works by interacting with a person ’ s endocannabinoid system . The endogenous cannabinoid system is comprised of endocannabinoids and their receptors , which are located in the immune cells , connective tissues , glands , organs , and brain , and its purpose is to maintain the body ’ s homeostasis . CBD stimulates endocannabinoid receptors in a way that induces the therapeutic effects researchers are vigorously investigating . Cannabis strains high in CBD , such as Sour Tsunami , are good candidates when looking for a source of CBD . The Benefits of Cannabidiol It has anti - anxiety properties . Social anxiety disorder ( SAD ) induces intense feelings of fear , anxiety , self - doubt , and humiliation in response to ordinary daily activities such as answering a telephone or speaking to a stranger . SAD affects approximately 15 million — 6.8 % — Americans who typically deal with the symptoms of the mental condition for ten years before seeking professional treatment . One study found that CBD helped reduce symptoms in patients with SAD . While THC creates psychoactive effects in users , CBD works to mitigate those effects and calm consumers . CBD consumption prior to public speaking decreased anxiety and negative self - evaluation in SAD patients , demonstrating its promise as a viable therapeutic alternative to pharmaceuticals , which only lead 30 % of SAD patients to full recovery and come with a host of side effects . It has antipsychotic properties . Despite what opponents to cannabis use argue , cannabis does not cause schizophrenia , especially if that mental condition is not in the consumer ’ s family history . Schizophrenia , a chronic mental disorder , causes severely confused thinking , hallucinations , and delusions . Research suggests that CBD has antipsychotic effects that are especially beneficial for patients demonstrating chronic symptoms . More importantly , CBD causes significantly fewer side effects than the pharmaceutical options commonly prescribed to treat the condition . It suppresses the proliferation of breast cancer cells . The reactivated ID - 1 gene , a protein activated during embryonic development but shut off afterward , plays a major role in cultivating and metastasizing malignant breast cancer cells . A 2007 study concluded that CBD has the ability to reduce ID - 1 expression , suppressing aggressive tumor growth . This research represents the possibility of moving away from toxic and painful chemotherapy toward the non - toxic therapy CBD offers . It reduces nausea , especially as a result of chemotherapy . One of the many adverse reactions to chemo includes nausea and vomiting . An array of evidence indicates that both THC and CBD interactions with the endocannabinoid system have the ability to regulate that severely uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating side effect . CBD indirectly activates somatodendritic 5 - HT receptors in the dorsal raphe nucleus , receptors known for their antiemetic ( anti - nausea ) effects . In addition to these benefits , research on CBD strongly suggests that it ’ s consumption helps to reduce insomnia , epilepsy , inflammation , prion accumulation , and even the progression of diabetes . anxiety Cannabis CBD depression Education health relax Weed About Dianna Benjamin Dianna Benjamin is a freelance writer , teacher , wife , and mom horrified and fascinated by social justice and our inability - - yet constant pursuit - - to get it right . ← Previous article Next article →

Discussion 4 Timeline 5 Sources Biographie English version below Les Landry en Acadie remontent à deux souches Ironiquement ces deux ancêtres ne semblent pas avoir été parents même sils portaient le même prénom René Cest René le jeune qui est devenu le progéniteur des Landry des provinces Maritimes Quatre des huit fils de René Landry le jeune sont les aïeux des Landry du sudest du NouveauBrunswick soit Antoine René Germain et Abraham René le jeune est né vers 1634 à France Il épousa Marie Bernard fille dun père inconnue et Andrée Guyon vers 1659 Entre vers 1660 et 1690 le couple a eu 15 enfants Antoine Claude Cécile Jean René Marie Marguerite Germain Jeanne Abraham Pierre Catherine Anne Charles et Isabelle René est mort avant 1693 à PortRoyale Biography version française cidessus The Acadian Landry family stems from two ancestors who are unrelated but were both called René the older and the younger René the younger became the ancestral patriarch of the Landry family from the maritime provinces of Canada His sons Antoine René Germain and Abraham were the ancestors of families from southeast New Brunswick René le jeune was born around 1634 in France His parents are unknown Around 1659 he married Marie Bernard daughter of an unidentified father and Andrée Guyon in France Between about 1660 and 1690 the couple had 15 children Antoine Claude Cécile Jean René Marie Marguerite Germain Jeanne Abraham Pierre Catherine Anne Charles and Isabelle René and Marie are found at PortRoyal Acadia Annapolis Royal Nova Scotia Canada in 1678 At that time they had four boys and six girls Their growing family is also found in the 1686 Census Their farm comprises of 10 arpents of cultivated land 16 cattle 20 sheep Within four years the familys relative peace would be shattered by King Williams War 16891697 with France Around In May 1690 Sir William Phipps captured Port Royal destroyed the church plundered the settlement and forced the inhabitants to swear an oath of allegiance to the English crown He appointed Charles La Tourasse a former sergeant of the French garrison to serve as English commandant and leader of a council to keep the peace and administer justice Inhabitants were asked to choose six leading men to serve on the council and René Landry was among the chosen leaders Phipps left PortRoyal within 12 days of arrival Before the end of the summer seaman from two ships looted PortRoyal and burned and looted between 28 and 35 homes and habitations including the parish church An English garrison was never established possibly because the inhabitants refused to guarantee that the Indians would not attack if one was formed Dunn describes the feelings of the residents during this unsettling time Throughout this period of nominal English rule French and English vessels anchored at PortRoyal at will contributing to a sense of unease among the residents New England vessels came to trade to check on the inhabitants and to take French prizes When the English were not around French privateers operated out of the port attracting local young men as crew with the promise of plunder and outfitting the ships from local suppliers PortRoyal residents did not always appreciate the presence of the French privateers René died in his late fifties before the 1693 Census at PortRoyale Discussion Origins Stephen White does not identify his origins Another theory is Loudun Vienne PoitouCharentes citation needed Parents A longstanding myth is that Renés parents were Jean Claude Landry and Marie Sallé It started when Father Patrice Gallant tried to explain why Marie Sallé widow of Jean Claude was living close to the Landry famly in the 1686 census Could Jean Claude be an error which should read Jean Claude Landry Stephen White does not believe there is an error as it was written as Jean Claude in the Census of 1671 and 1678 Arrival in Acadia Does anyone have evidence of Renés arrival in Acadia before the 1678 Acadian Census According to 9 depositions of their descendents in 1767 Marie Bernard came with her husband from France The earliest date of their childrens marriages was Céciles around 1678 to Pierre Thériot son of Jean and Perrine Rau In the timeline below historical events relevant to Acadia and Port Royal are provided for context without actually knowing if the family was there to witness the events before 1678 1690 Peacekeeping Council Dunn p39 states that two acadians were among the six chosen men to serve on the council Danel LeBlanc and René Landry longtime Acadian residents and respected members of the community Can we assume this is René the younger René the elder had died between 1678 and 1686 The only namesake among his descendants was born to his son Pierre c1693 René

straitjacket escape from the famous Palace Theater in New York City This would mark his third and final outdoor stunt in Times Square And as always with his New York stunts he ran afoul of the police Below the original advert for the stunt a terrific photo of Houdini in action and the New York Herald s amusing account of the escape told from the point of view of the police officer who served Houdini with a summons when he came back down to earth To give this some context this was at the start of Houdinis return to the Keiths vaudeville circuit after spending two years making movies So

Events Music Texas Theaters Thursday January 3 2019 Holy smokes Thirty minutes of largely unseen Houdini film surfaces We may only be three days into the new year but our friend Leonard Hevia has made what might be the find of 2019 While browsing the Sleight of Direction YouTube channel Leo found 30 minutes of Houdini film footage much of it unknown Its contained in a video clip posted on New Years Eve titled Various TV Magic Clips from the US 1970s to before Curiously the video description doesnt even mention Houdini But oh baby The quality is very poor but the content is incredible Below is the embedded clip set to begin at the Houdini footage at 5948 you might want to mute the sound Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video Heres a breakdown of what I consider the most remarkable footage seen here Timecodes show where the clip is located in the above video Houdini Visits Gladys 012114 The most mind blowing footage for me is what appears to be unedited home movies of Houdini visiting his sister Gladys during a snowy day After several shots outside of Houdini leaving the footage is not in sequence we cut inside the house to find Gladys playing the piano as Harry and Bess enter Gladys then greets Houdinis assistants one by one Franz Kukol James Vickery Jim Collins and an unidentified assistant Two more men are greeted by Gladys and Houdini but I dont know who they are As everyone leaves Houdini takes a moment to pick up and kiss Houdinis Paris Movie 012352 This next clip is of huge significance to Houdini movie history Its the first three minutes of Houdinis 1909 movie Merveilleux Exploits du Célébre Houdini à Paris complete with the original French title cards The key here is that includes the opening incident in which Harry and Bess help a drunk man on the street and are arrested With this footage a restoration is now doable although we are still missing the very opening in which we see the Alhambra decked out in Houdini posters Houdini Coin and Cards 011448 A real mystery is this one minute of footage showing Houdini doing coin sleights and card manipulations in slow motion Its tempting to think this is a lost fragment from his 1925 Marvels in Motion appearance later released as Velvet Fingers But Houdini is dressed here in a suit instead of a tuxedo so this could be something entirely different Whatever it is its a remarkable minute of film and breathtaking to watch Houdinis hand movements Monk Table Tie Escape 012710 This is footage of Houdini doing an escape on the set of Haldane of the Secret Service This is not from the movie itself The scenario here appears to be that hes being challenged by monks played by actors and his assistants This footage has appeared in documentaries but it always cuts off as Houdini is being tied Here the footage is complete and uncut showing the full escape and Houdini being raised up on the shoulders of the ecstatic monks This compilation also includes several unfamiliar clips of suspended straitjacket escapes behind the scenes filming of The Man From Beyond the familiar footage of Houdini outside a Kansas City theater and the Rochester bridge jump Harry Kellar visiting Houdini Dash and Bess at Hardeens Flatbush home where Houdini was living at the time and several clips from The Mastery Mystery with original title cards and some footage not seen in the Kino DVD So where the heck did this film come from Im afraid I dont have any answers and I dont know who runs this YouTube Channel it appears they may be outside the US But this channel includes a treasure trove of rare magic clips and I cant help but wonder if we are somehow seeing part of the recently auctioned

family Links Methods Reality TV Television Tuesday January 1 2019 Houdini in 1919 Welcome to another year of WILD ABOUT HARRY Lets kick off 2019 with a look back at what Houdini himself was up to 100 years ago Houdini began 1919 with the flu This was not a small matter Between 1918 and 1920 the Spanish Flu pandemic killed 50 to 100 million people worldwide Fortunately Houdini beat the virus and recovered Another deathdefying escape The year 1919 would be a unique one for Houdini For the first time since he set out as a performer in 1891 he would not tour nor take the stage except for the occasional charity appearance Thats because with the release of The Master Mystery the year before the onetime Handcuff King was now focused on making movies The Master Mystery s 15 episodes continued to roll out across the East during the first half of the new year A deal was then struck with World Film Corp to open the serial in the West With his celluloid self filling theaters for him Houdini used his time at home in New York to begin work on a new book on sideshow performers or miracle mongers as he would come to call them He also performed for returning troops at the Camp Upton Athletic Field Fund and the Ballet of Victory ball at the WaldorfAstoria On April 2nd he purchased a 51 One endeavor not going so well was his New Jerseybased Film Developing Corp Large amounts of his income was going to keep the troublesome film lab afloat and managing the company was giving Hardeen ulcers But Houdini still saw movies as his future and having proven his viability as a film star Houdini signed a contract to make a feature film for Famous PlayersLasky one of the biggest producers in Hollywood Production was set to begin May 1st After performing at a benefit commemorating the 14th anniversary of the opening of the New York Hippodrome Houdini Bess and Julie Karcher traveled by train to Los Angeles arriving on April 20 They initially stayed at the storied Hollywood Hotel on Hollywood Blvd today the site of the Hollywood Highland complex before moving into a rental house possibly in Laurel Canyon Not long after his arrival Houdini paid a visit to Harry Kellar at his home on South Ardmore Avenue There Kellar presented Houdini with the gift of Psycho his celebrated automaton and Houdini began taking notes for a biography he hoped to write about the great magician Kellar who was an investor in Houdinis Film Developing Corp would be a frequent visitor to the set of Houdinis movie One of Houdinis first orders of business was to get acquainted with the studio publicity department I regard you men as important as the people who make the picture and Ill work as hard and as much for you as I do the producer he told the assembled publicists For photographers he posed for a series of dramatic Houdinilike escape images lashed to canons steam trains buzz saws and telephone poles Even though these were not actual escapes the images appeared in movie magazines and continue to appear as classic Houdini feats The studio publicity department might have also been syndicated item reporting that Houdini was considering buying the Oakland Oaks baseball team The pressbooks would also contain an article in which Houdini voiced his skepticism on a topic roaring back into vogue Spiritualism In May Houdini began filming what was originally called Circumstantial Evidence at Laskys Hollywood Studio on Selma Ave and on location around greater Los Angeles The sprawling estate of architect George Edwin Bergstrom doubled for the Cameron home today West Coast University The Harbour Apartments near downtown doubled as an insane asylum where Houdini dangled in a straitjacket below the buildings cornice The production also placed a biplane high atop Lookout Mountain where Houdini feigned wing walking as technicians rocked the fuselage for effect Near the end of the first month of production Jesse Lasky wrote Houdini from New York informing him that the consensus of opinion is that The Grim Game is the best title for the movie On May 31 the movies climatic aerial action was shot using Jennies leased from Mercury Aviation at DeMille Field in Santa Monica For the dangerous plane to plane transfer Houdini was doubled by Robert Kennedy While at an elevation of over 1000 feet the planes collided Miraculously the pilots were able to crash land and no one was killed The ending of the movie was rewritten to include the spectacular accident which had been captured on film The fact that it wasnt Houdini doing the stunt himself was kept secret Then in late June Houdini took a fall and broke the wrist he had first fractured while making The Master Mystery The injury delayed completion of the movie by two weeks Houdini enjoyed Hollywood and made the most of his time in the city When The Master Mystery opened at Clunes Theater on Broadway Houdini made a personal appearance He performed with Will Rogers at a benefit for the Actors Fund and visited his old friend Buster Keaton on the set of Back Stage at the Comique Studio in Edendale In photos taken at this time Houdini can be seen concealing the cast on his wrist behind his straw hat He also rubbed shoulders with stars of the era being photographed with the likes of Mary Pickford Cecil B DeMille Thomas Meighan and Clarence Geldart Gloria Swanson appears to have been a fan signing no less than two photos to the magician on one teasing Hocus Pocus try and find it On June 22 Houdini and Bess threw a Gala Silver Wedding Anniversary Dinner at the Alexandria Hotel in downtown Los Angeles The event was attended by 200 guests including Hollywood luminaries such as Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle On making her entrance into the ballroom Bess was so overcome she swooned Before dinner Houdini wrote her a note which read in part Sweetheart I will give you this letter after the reception tonight I am writing this whilst you and Jule are busy at the mirror making up and as I glance at you and see the happiness in your eyes I bow my head in silent thanks to Almighty God that I am the lucky man to make you happy May God keep you long for me my Precious Love Yours to the end of life and ever after EHRICH The Grim Game completed production in late July and Houdini returned to New York There he screened the movie with executives at the Famous PlayersLasky offices on 5th Avenue He also began preparing for a return to Europe in the Fall He would not only fulfill bookings in England that had been postponed because of the war but he intended to tour Italy for the first time He applied for a new passport for himself and Bess on September 3 The Grim Game opened at the BS Moss Broadway Theater the first standalone movie theater in New York City on August 25th Houdini made a personal appearance at every performance for two weeks The film garnered good box office and reviews and within days it was announced that Houdini had signed a contract to make a second Lasky film immediately The European trip was put on hold and Houdini returned to Los Angeles on September 15th But first he filed a lawsuit against his former Octagon Film partners claiming he had never been paid the 40000 for his salary and profit participation on The Master Mystery The suit would drag on into the next year The new movie which would alternate between the working titles Salvage and Deep Sea Loot took inspiration from the popular 1919 novel White Shadows in the South Seas by Frederick OBrien Whereas The Grim Game showcased Houdinis urban featssuspended straitjackets and jail escapesthe new movie would showcase his underwater skills Houdini began shooting at the Lasky Studio in Hollywood on October 10th There the interior of a submarine was built on a stage that could be flooded with water A week into shooting King Albert of Belgium visited the studio while taking a tour of Hollywood Never one to miss a chance to perform before a crowned head Houdini did an escape in the studio water tank for the Royal party In November the production moved to Riverside to shoot the extensive underwater action in the large swimming pool of La Elliotta Springs At last Houdini was able to use the underwater photography techniques pioneered by the Williamson Brothers While on location cast and crew stayed at the palatial Mission Inn where they were rumbled awake by an earthquake on November 4 While Bess appears in photos taken during the Hollywood shoot it doesnt appear she accompanied her husband on location adding fuel to rumors that Houdini and costar Lila Lee engaged in a fling The production then traveled 30 miles off the pacific coast to Santa Catalina Island which would double for the cannibal infested South Seas island where the last half of the movie is set Houdini traveled by seaplane part of an air passenger service started by Charlie Chaplins brother Sydney All I could think of was my wife and the dramatic collection Houdini wrote of the harrowing flight He had wanted Harry Kellar to join him but Kellar took one look at the plane and refused to get in The production spent approximately three weeks on Catalina which was a popular filming location wild buffalo said to have been brought over for westerns still populate the island today Each day the Catalina Flyer would shuttle cast and crew from the town of Avalon to the native village set located in a private cove called Bannings Beach today Toyon Bay Coastal scenes notably the scene in which Lila Lee is locked in a safe and thrown into the sea were shot along Avalons Pebble Beach where the production also made use of a shipwreck Houdini enjoyed the island and told the captain of the Flyer that he would one day return and build a home there While the crew stayed at the Hotel Catalina and Hotel Central the reported 200 African American extras encamped on location where they elected a man named Stoll as their mayor Houdini stayed at the newly built beachfront Hotel St Catherine It was in front of the St Catherine on November 28 that Houdini attempted some reallife movie heroics when the Catalina Flyer stalled in rough seas and began drifting into the rocks As anxious hotel guests watched and cameraman William Marshall rolled film Houdini attempted to swim a life line out to the boat But he soon found himself buffeted like a cork in the heavy surf and had to be reeled in by a pair of local divers It took the efforts of others a full hour to bring the boat in safely The incident made the papers in Los Angeles but the 300 feet of film shot that day never surfaced If Houdini had been successful in his rescue attempt Grim Game like As soon as I get through with this picture I leave immediately for London he told the local Catalina Islander newspaper Its a long jump from Santa Catalina Island to London where I expect to eat my Christmas dinner Production wrapped during the first week of December with a few days location shooting back in Los Angeles possibly the waif picnic finale Houdini then returned to New York via the Santa Fe Limited The following week the films title was finally settled on and announced as Terror Island Houdini did not embark for Europe on December 15 as initially reported Instead he spent the remainder of the year at home going through thousands of new additions to his Theatrical Collection acquired on his behalf at an American Arts Galleries auction in October He was delighted and felt he was on his way to having a young Harvard collection Then on December 30 with magic and movie equipment in tow Houdini and Bess boarded the Mauritania and set sail for England Much of the Terror Island filming details come from information uncovered for the first ever exhibition devoted to the movie at the Catalina Island Museum in 2018 Today the museum has a section devoted to the movie in their permanent display on Catalina history Thanks also to Joe Notaro of Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence and John Bengtson

Baltimore Fort Worth City of Industry and here at home Im overwhelmed by how much joy and generosity Houdini brings into my life I feel very grateful to have stumbled on this hobby 43 years ago I

George Hardeen Methods Reality TV Siberian Transport Cell Video Water Torture Cell Friday December 14 2018 Houdini and the Circumnavigators Club Houdini enjoyed belonging to fraternal clubs such as The Society of American Magicians The Magicians Club The Rabbis Sons Benevolent Association the Elks and the Masons But heres a club that I had no idea Houdini belonged to until I got a friendly email from David Mink the current president of the intriguingly named Circumnavigators Club The Circumnavigators Club was founded in 1902 and headquartered in New York As the name implies it was made up of individuals exclusively men until 1983 who had circumnavigated the globe Houdini joined the club in 1912 citing his tours of Europe and especially his journey to Australia as his credentials as a world traveler Click to enlarge Accepted as a member Houdini became Circumhoudini in the tradition of naming club members with circum before their last names Houdini attended his first banquet at the Hotel McAlpin in New York on March 2 1916 A photograph of the dinner above was shared in the March issue of the official club journal The Log which included the following account Circumhoudini traveled from New Orleans especially to attend the dinner and he spoke very nicely of how the Circumnavigators Club was the first club he had joined and that he made this long journey to meet the officers and members for the first time because he felt that it was home to him that he knew many of the members through reading The Log and that he was not disappointed Circumhoudini said he flew the first aeroplane in Australia that he is one of six pioneers living who were the original aviators and that he stopped flying when women took it up Circumhoudini is a very moderate eater at all times and he did not care for another piece of pie Furthermore on his recent trip to the Pacific coast and back he got the whole pie in the way of front page publicity in the leading newspapers of the different cities If youre wondering what the whole piece of pie thing refers to according to David Mink Harry was the featured speaker at a dinner along with John Henry Mears who set the world record for circling the globe Mears related that people of many nations particularly the Japanese are very hospitable and in Tokyo he was offered another piece of pie that cost him a bit of time on this record trip Harry who spoke next said he didnt care for another piece of pie I suppose this got a laugh Houdini would occasionally contribute to The Log himself In 1921 he took out a two page ad The first page was blank Houdini having slipped through to the second page Thats my act Click to enlarge Houdini also wrote articles for the club journal including a remarkable piece called My Happiest Christmas in 1923 made even more remarkable by the fact that Circumhoudini was Jewish In it he tells the story of when he stumbled on an idea how to make extra money as a messenger boy during the holidays This story appears in many biographies but Houdinis account in The Log provides more details including a nice tidbit about how that his brother Bill did the best handwriting in the family Below is the first page for a taste Click to enlarge Houdini remained an active member of the Circumnavigators Club for the rest of his life At one point he and John Phillip Sousa sat on the board of governors together Below is a photo of Houdini and The Log editor in 1918 The Circumnavigators Club remains active to this day The Log is still published and available to anyone to read at their official website There you can also find details on how to join The clubs mission is worth repeat here in full The Circumnavigators Club is the only organization devoted to bringing together those men and women who have circumnavigated the globe The Clubs purpose is to encourage global fellowship and understanding It strives to inspire people to see and absorb as much as they can about the world in which we live It is devoted to providing those who have circumnavigated the globe with a forum for intellectual exchange Thanks to David Mink for alerting me to this and allowing me to share these remarkable mementos of Circumhoudini UPDATE A few developments David Charvet reminds me that Edward Saint mentions Houdinis membership in the Circumnavigators Club during the famous Final Houdini Seance recording And Dr Bruce Averbook owns Houdinis membership book and card below Very nice David Mink has also uncovered a few more items related to Circumhoudini which I will share in the New Year

History Aviation Childhood Circumnavigators Club Correspondence Holidays Magazines New York Writings Thursday December 13 2018 Guest blog The Brothers Houdini reading in NYC Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz of the Houdini Museum in Scranton attended Tuesdays reading of The Brothers Houdini at the Consulate General of Hungary in New York Im pleased to share their review of the evening The Brothers Houdini review by Dorothy Diertrich and Dick Brookz We spent a interesting evening at very well presented reading of the The Brothers Houdini The Musical at the Hungarian Consulate on 223 East 52 Street in New York City The evening started with champagne wine orange juice and a fun assortment of Hungarian snacks There were several very special moments during the reading The beginning of the play sets up the strong relationship between Houdini Perry Sherman and his younger brother Theo Rico Le Bron They were close in age by two years Houdini did have a great relationship with his brother which is an ongoing theme of the show The truth is Houdini died in his brothers arms It presented the two as great pals with a lot of plans for their successful future They worked the streets to raise money to help their family A scene shows the proud boys saying Shake It covers the fact that their father Samuel Wade Mc Cullum was not in good health He died when Houdini was only 18 and Houdini vows to his mother that they will take care of her which the brothers do All is well with them as a team until they meet lovely Beatrice Rahner played by Quiana Holmes who was working with an act called the Floral Sisters A precious moment when Bess tells Houdini about how much she loves the song Rosabelle Theres a great sense that they have met their perfect love They soon after get married This leads to one of the very special moments during the reading The show is not linear but goes back and forth in time Several of the transitions are very clever and magicial For instance Bess taking on the role of assistant in the act is depicted by having Harry and his brother Hardeen present the trunk trick but at the finale instead of the brother coming out of the trunk Bess appears A very exciting and magical transition as a trick but in time and space as well There should be more moments like this Another is the scene regarding Houdinis contentious run in with the noted spiritualist Mina Crandon aka Margery Laney Allan who played several other roles to great aplomb Laneys feisty performance gave a real sense of who Mina was Margery holds a seance for Houdini and apparently talks to Houdinis mother which he exposes as a ruse Though this never happened this way it was again a dramatic juxtaposition of two actual events Houdini meets theatrical agent Martin Beck Wade McCullum who changes everything The performance of Wade McCullum was brilliant He more than aptly portrayed the two characters of Houdinis aging father Samuel and Houdinis agent Martin Beck He adds much to the characters he plays Its a joy to watch him playfully bring the story forward Martin Becks wise guy character is full of chuckles and comic relief Houdini sets out on tour having great success with his new agent in charge of the tour but leaves Bess behind Beck introduces Houdini to his new attractive assistant Daisy Pilar Martinez Daisy is interested in being more than assistant to Houdini Gordon Whitehead was played by Terrell FosterJames who presents the famous punches to Houdinis abdomen The fun story plays loose with the facts Although Houdini may have toyed with the Bullet catch in his youth and been hurt the show has him presenting it successfully In this same vein it has him rescued out of the Water Torture Cell by breaking the glass I guess in a way a homage to the Tony Curtis movie It also has Houdini taking punches in the stomach incessantly from childhood on to his untimely death which could have been a one time event Toward the end of the story Peter Scattini plays the theater manager who insists that Houdini performs even though he is gravely ill The play has a lot of potential The fact that its a musical is even more exciting As to the songs in the show only about half were presented in the time allotted but they move the story along well However the only memorable melody that people might leave humming or singing was the classic Rosabelle so it should be reprieved several times and possibly at the end It would be great to have a Broadway Show about Houdini We will do all in our power to help any such production For more information visit the official

How to Collect and Store Seeds by Center Staff MOST WILD SEEDS are collected by hand This is because desired species dont typically grow in pure stands and the topography of their environments often limits using mechanical equipment Plants are easiest to identify when they are flowering so it is a good idea to mark individual plants with flagging tape or to write down specific landmarks to help you relocate populations when the seeds are ready Always get permission from the landowner when collecting on private land and never collect on public land Areas destined to be developed or destroyed in the near future provide excellent sites for collecting seeds provided the landowner has given permission Never collect seeds from rare or endangered species collect only from plants that you find growing abundantly in a given area to ensure that you do not eradicate an isolated population Take at most only onetenth of the seeds so that enough seeds are left to reseed and perpetuate the stand Collecting seeds at the correct time is crucial for propagation to be successful Gather fruits from the ground only if they have recently dropped Reject any fruits or seeds that have been on moist ground for some time or any seed that may have started to decay or become infested with insects They could contaminate the rest of your seed harvest if combined with other seeds during storage Delayed harvesting of species with persistent pods often results in insectinfested seeds The tools and material you will need depends on the size of the harvest Basic equipment includes gloves boots dropcloths pruning shears boxes baskets and paper andor canvas bags Although plastic bags may be used for collecting storing seeds in airtight containers or plastic bags will encourage mold growth Many plants can be stripped by hand or the seed can be beaten onto dropcloths Seed Maturation Proper harvesting is aided by an understanding of seed ripening dispersal mechanisms and the influences of weather on the timing of seed maturation Flowering and fruiting dates vary from year to year Familiarize yourself with the approximate flowering and fruiting dates and be able to recognize mature fruit or seeds An early spring and dry summer for example may cause seeds to set early Seed quality also varies from year to year and from location to location Experience is often the best teacher in learning to determine when a seed is mature When seeds are mature you should begin collecting Mature seeds are usually dark in color firm and dry Seeds that are green and moist are immature and will generally produce unhealthy seedlings or fail to germinate The flesh of pulpy fruits often becomes soft and changes from green or yellowish to reddish or bluepurple when ripe Seeds are often mature a week or more before the fleshy fruits turn color and fall from the plant You can determine seed maturity by cutting open the fruit and examining seeds for firmness fullness and dark color A delay of only a few Many pods or capsules dehisce come open and expel seeds when ripe and mature at staggered intervals making collection difficult Once maturation begins check it every few days to collect any newly matured seeds You may also try inverting a paper sack over the immature seed and tying it off with string Enough light and air will reach the plant to allow it to continue growing and the sack will hold the seeds as they mature and drop with this strategy you only have to collect seeds once at the end of seed set Seed Cleaning and Preparation Seeds should be collected just before or as the pod turns brown and dries and before it dehisces The pods should be dried in single layers spread thinly on canvas cloths screens or trays elevated from the ground Curing on the pod may take longer for species other than legumes Airdrying takes one to three days depending on the humidity After the seeds have dried you can extract them from the pods by beating or threshing A mature pod will often twist and split open to drop the seeds Although not all seeds need to be cleaned before storage those with pulpy fruit should be cleaned to prevent mold Remove the pulp of large fruits by hand by rubbing on a screen or mashing with a wooden block rolling pin or fruit press being careful not to damage the seed You can clean smaller fruits with a blender as long as you are careful not to damage the seeds Blend a small amount of the seeds in a two to one ratio with water Use brief intermittent agitations at low speed and then strain the mixture to separate the Thrashing seeds separating seeds from the rest of the collected plant material is optional but it does have at least two advantages it reduces the volume of seeds to be stored which saves on storage space and deters insect eggs mold spores and other seeddisease vector most of which are removed and discarded along with the chaff The easiest way to thrash seeds is to rub the collected material against a coarse screen with a gloved hand Seed Storage The two most critical necessities for storing seeds are constant temperatures and low humidity A temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or less and a humidity of 50 percent or lower are ideal Store seeds in the refrigerator not the freezer until you are ready to plant Low temperature humidity and light level protect seed longevity If it is not practical to store seeds in your refrigerator store them in any place that is cool dark and dry protecting them from insects as much as possible Store the seeds in paper sacks to allow good air circulation and prevent molding Do not store seeds in plastic bags or other nonbreathable containers unless they are airdried thoroughly first It is important to include basic information on labels including date of collection species name location Dusting the seeds with a mild insecticide will help prevent insect infestation and kill any pests collected with the seeds Or you can insert a pest strip for several days while leaving the paper bag open to allow insects to escape Freezing the seed for a brief period may also be a viable alternative Seeds of fleshy fruits should be kept moist to maintain viability If allowed to dry out they will either germinate prematurely or not at all This type of seed should be planted immediately or mixed in a onetoone ratio of moist sand or in a vermiculite or perlite mixture depending on seed size learn more about stratification here and stored in a cool place If the root emerges from the seeds during storage the seedling should be removed and planted immediately Seed storage longevity varies from species to species Some seeds may be viable after ten years of storage while others may not germinate after two years in storage Ideally seeds should be planted within one year of collection

Home Fishing Ocean Fish ID Sportfish Croakers California Marine Sportfish Identification : Croakers Last Updated October 17 , 2013 Note : Please consult current fishing regulations for species presented in this booklet . To view information on safe fishing eating guidelines , please visit the OEHHA website California Corbina | Queenfish | Spotfin Croaker White Croaker White Seabass Yellowfin Croaker Queenfish ( Click to view larger image ) Family : Sciaenidae ( Croakers ) Genus and Species : Seriphus politus Description : The body of the queenfish is elongate and moderately compressed . The head is compressed with the upper profile depressed over the eyes . The mouth is large . The color is bluish above becoming silvery below and the fins are yellowish . Queenfish can be distinguished from other croakers by their large mouth , the base of the second dorsal and anal fins being about equal , and the wide space between the two dorsal fins . Maximum length : 20.5 inches . Range : Queenfish occur from Uncle Sam Bank , Baja California , to Yaquina Bay , Oregon . They are common during summer in shallow water around pier pilings on sandy bottoms . They are found at depths up to 180 feet ; however , occur more often from 4 to 27 feet . Queenfish are common in southern California , but are rare north of Monterey , California . Natural History : Queenfish feed on small , free swimming crustaceans , small crabs , and fishes . Adult queenfish spawn in the summer . The eggs are free floating . Tiny young queenfish , less than 1 inch long , appear in late summer and fall ; first at depths of 20 to 30 feet , gradually moving shoreward until they enter the surf zone when 1 to 3 inches long . Fishing Information : Queenfish may be caught using live anchovies as bait . They are quite often the most commonly caught fish by anglers from piers . Other Common Names : herring , kingfish , herring croaker , shiner . Largest Recorded : 20.5 inches ; no weight recorded . Habitat : Shallow Sandy Environment Return to Top of Page White Seabass ( Click to view larger image ) Family : Sciaenidae ( Croakers ) Genus and Species : Atractoscion nobilis * previously known as Cynoscion nobilis . Description : The body of the white seabass is elongate , and somewhat compressed . The head is pointed and slightly compressed . The mouth is large , with a row of small teeth in the roof ; the lower jaw slightly projects . The color is bluish to gray above , with dark speckling , becoming silver below . The young have several dark vertical bars . The white seabass is closely related to the California corbina , but is the only California member of the croaker family to exceed 20 pounds in weight . They are most easily separated from Range : White seabass occur from Magdalena Bay , Baja California , to Juneau , Alaska . They usually travel in schools over rocky bottoms and in and out of kelp beds . Natural History : The diet of white seabass includes fishes , especially anchovies and sardines , and squid . At times , large fish are found which have eaten only Pacific mackerel . At the minimum legal length of 28 inches , the average white seabass is about 5 years of age , weighs about 7.5 pounds and has been sexually mature for at least one spawning season . Fishing Information : White seabass are fished primarily with live bait in relatively shallow water , but they will also take a fast - trolled spoon , artificial squid or bone jig . Live squid appear to be the best bait for a white seabass , but large anchovies and medium - size sardines are also good . At times , large white seabass will bite only on fairly large , live Pacific mackerel . The young of this species are exceptionally vulnerable to sport anglers for two reasons . The first is that as juveniles they inhabit shallow nearshore areas , bays Other Common Names : sea trout ( juvenile ) , weakfish , king croaker . Largest Recorded : 5 feet ; 83 pounds . Habitat : Deep Rocky Environment Return to Top of Page Yellowfin Croaker Sciaenidae ( Croaker ) Umbrina roncador The body of the yellowfin croaker is elliptical - elongate with the back somewhat arched . The head is conical and blunt . The color is iridescent blue to gray with brassy reflections on the back diffusing to silvery white below . The sides and back have many diagonal dark wavy lines . The fins are yellowish except for the dark dorsal fins . The yellowfin croaker differs from other California croakers in having a single fleshy projection , a barbel , on the lower jaw and two heavy spines at the front of the anal fin . Maximum length Yellowfin croakers occur from the Gulf of California , Mexico , to Point Conception , California . They frequent bays , channels , harbors and other nearshore waters over sandy bottoms . These croakers are more abundant along beaches during the summer months and may move to deeper water in winter . The diet of the yellowfin croaker consists mainly of small fishes and fish fry ; however , invertebrates such as small crustaceans , worms and mollusks are also eaten in large numbers . Spawning takes place during the summer months when this species is most common along the sandy beaches . Maturity is apparently not reached until the fish are slightly over 9 inches long . Yellowfin croaker are most often taken by surf anglers using softshelled sand crabs , worms , mussels , clams or cut fish as bait . Catalina croaker , yellowtailed croaker , golden croaker . 21.6 inches ; no weight reported . However , an 18 inch yellowfin croaker weighed 4.5 pounds . Shallow Sandy Environment California Corbina Genus and Species : Menticirrhus undulatus The body of the California corbina is elongate and slightly compressed . The head is long and the mouth is small , the upper jaw scarcely reaching a point below the front of the eye . The color is uniform grey with incandescent reflections , and with wavy diagonal lines on the sides . This croaker and the yellowfin croaker are the only two of the eight coastal croakers present in California waters to have a single fleshy projection , or barbel , on the lower jaw . The California corbina usually has only one weak spine at the front California corbina occur from the Gulf of California , Mexico to Point Conception , California , and is a bottom fish found along sandy beaches and in shallow bays . This species travels in small groups along the surf zone in a few inches of water to depths of 45 feet . Adults have been seen feeding in the surf , at times in water so shallow that their backs were exposed . They scoop up mouthfuls of sand and separate the food by sending the sand through the gills . They are very particular feeders , apparently spitting out bits of clam shells and other foreign matter . About 90 percent of the food they eat is sand crabs . Other crustaceans and clams are of lesser importance . Males mature when 2 years old at a length of about 10 inches and females at age 3 when about 13 inches California corbina are caught throughout the year along southern California ' s sandy beaches , although fishing is at its best from July through September . They are very wary and difficult to hook as many an avid surf fisherman can affirm . Perhaps one reason is that they tend to mouth and chew their food and do n ' t strike solidly very often . Sand crabs ( usually softshells ) are the preferred bait , though some anglers swear by blood worms , mussels , clams , pileworms , and ghost shrimp . California whiting , surf fish , sucker . California corbina should not be confused with corvina which are taken in the Salton Sea . 28 inches ; 8.5 pounds . Surf Environment White Croaker Genyonemus lineatus The body of the white croaker is elongate and somewhat compressed . The head is oblong and bluntly rounded , with a mouth that is somewhat underneath the head . The color is incandescent brownish to yellowish on the back becoming silvery below . The fins are yellow to white . The white croaker is one of five California croakers that have mouths located under their heads ( subterminal ) . They can be distinguished from the California corbina and yellowfin croaker by the absence of a single fleshy projection , or barbel , at the tip of the lower White croakers have been taken from Magdalena Bay , Baja California , to Vancouver Island , British Columbia , but are not abundant north of San Francisco . White croakers swim in loose schools at or near the bottom of sandy areas . Sometimes they aggregate in the surf zone or in shallow bays and lagoons . Most of the time they are found in offshore areas at depths of 10 to 100 feet . On rare occasions they are fairly abundant at depths as great as 600 feet . White croakers eat a variety of fishes , squid , shrimp , octopus , worms , small crabs , clams and other items , either living or dead . While the ages of white croakers have not been determined conclusively , it is thought that some live as long as 15 or more years . Some spawn for the first time when they are between 2 and 3 years old . At this age they are only 5 to 6 inches long and weigh less than 0.10 pounds . These fish can be caught on almost any kind of animal bait that is fished from piers or jetties in sandy or sandy mud areas . In fact , they are so easily hooked that most anglers consider them a nuisance of the worst sort . If a person desires to fish specifically for white croakers a tough , difficult - to - steal bait , such as squid , is recommended . When hooked , they put up little or no fight . Fishing and catching is good throughout the year . kingfish , shiner , Pasadena trout , tommy croaker , little bass . 17 inches ; no weight recorded . However , a 14.5 inch white croaker weighted 1.41 pounds . Shallow Sandy Environment Spotfin Croaker Roncador stearnsii The body of the spotfin croaker is elongate , but heavy forward . The upper profile of the head is steep and slightly curved , and abruptly rounded at the very blunt snout . The mouth is underneath the head ( subterminal ) . The color is silvery gray with bluish luster above and white below . There are dark wavy lines on the side , and a large black spot at the base of the pectoral fin . The subterminal mouth , absence of a fleshy barbel and the large black spot at the base of the pectoral fin Spotfin croakers occur from Mazatlan , Mexico , to Point Conception , California , including the Gulf of California . In California , they are most commonly found south of Los Angeles Harbor . They live along beaches and in bays over bottoms varying from coarse sand to heavy mud and at depths varying from 4 to 50 feet or more . They prefer depressions and holes near shore . Spotfin croakers eat a wide variety of food items . Apparently they prefer clams and worms . Small crustaceans are also eaten extensively . They use the large pavement - like pharyngeal ( throat ) teeth to crush their food . Male spotfin croakers first mature and spawn when 2 years old and about 9 inches long . Most females mature when 3 years old and 12.5 inches long . All are mature by the time they are 4 years old and have reached a size of 14.5 inches . The spawning season runs from June to September and apparently Although some are caught throughout the year , late summer is best for spotfin croaker fishing . Good fishing seems to depend on runs . When a " croaker hole " is found and a run is on , good fishing can be had by all present whether in a bay , from a pier or in the surf . Most spotfin croaker caught are small to medium sized fish . spotties , spot , golden croaker . 27 inches . Largest taken off California by a recreational angler : 14.0 pounds in 1951 .
