How to Care for Prosthetic Limbs

If you're an amputee, you may have chosen to be fitted for a prosthetic limb. You must care for it properly, or you can develop problems with your residual limb, which may mean months of trying to get along without your prosthetic.

Instructions

1

Check your prosthetic daily for tears, cracks or other signs of wear. If you find any, have your prosthetic repaired by your prosthetist before the damage gets worse and you can't use it.

2

Lubricate your joint. If the joint seems too loose, have it adjusted or repaired by your prosthetist.

3

Keep the prosthetic clean, paying special attention to the inside of the socket. Use mild soap and water and dry it thoroughly before wearing. Because the socket comes into contact with your residual limb, keeping it clean helps prevent sores or infections.

4

Wear shoes at all times with a prosthetic leg to keep from damaging the foot portion and to ensure that you maintain the proper gait

5

Ask for additional prosthetics that are specifically designed for things such as swimming or running. Don't use your prosthetic for activities for which it wasn't designed.

Report CD Pirating

It is very easy to copy a CD in this age of CD writing software. The practice is also very illegal. Pirating CD's is a federal offense punishable with jail time and a hefty fine. Reporting CD piracy can be done through the federal government or through organizations that are trying to safeguard the film, music and software industries from the practice.

Instructions

1

Gather all of the necessary information on the piracy. You will need the name of the offender, the CD or CD's involved, and the number of instances in which the CD was illegally copied. Also have the contact information for yourself as well as the offender.

2

Contact the federal government. The US Department of Justice is the agency that prosecutes CD piracy. You can contact them via mail or phone. Expect a long wait with either method, after all this is the agency that was created by the same people who masterminded the DMV.

3

Go to riaa.com, the website of the Recording Industry Association of America (see Resources below). Click on "Report Piracy" and fill in the report.

4

Look on the back of the CD, if you have it in your possession, or enter the name of the artist or song.

How to Get 100 Percent Daily Dose of Vitamin C

The U.S. recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C is 60 to 95mg per day, but many organizations suggest that you consume more. The Vitamin C Foundation recommends as much as 3000mg, and other authorities fall in between the two. It's best to get your daily dose of Vitamin C from natural sources like fruits and vegetables.

Instructions

1

Stock up on fruits and vegetables. Eat them as snacks and during meals.

2

Plan to eat five fruit and vegetable servings per day. More is better, but at least three will do in a pinch. One orange, mango or grapefruit, 2 kiwis, 2 cups of raw spinach, a cup of fruit or vegetables, or 1/2 cup of juice equals one serving.

3

Take the time to peel, slice and cook fruits and vegetables. Make the preparation and consumption of fruits and vegetables a priority.

4

Serve colorful meals. Your plate should contain greens, reds and other bright colors. The more colorful the fruit or vegetable, the higher it is in Vitamin C. Strawberries, peppers, oranges and leafy green vegetables are excellent sources of Vitamin C.

5

Drink fruit juice with meals and snacks. Orange and grapefruit juice are high in Vitamin C. Check the label on juice to make sure it contains Vitamin C.

6

Take supplements only as a last resort if you can't get five servings a day of fruit and vegetables.

How to Run a Relay Race

You jog in place, stretch, move your neck from one side, then to the other, keeping your muscles loose, but also as an attempt to calm your nerves. You pray, "Please, God don't let me mess up. Please don't let me drop the baton." And then you run.

Instructions

1

Practice handing off the baton to your team mates. You cannot practice too much. Races have been lost because of poor baton hand-offs. Your team may have the fastest runners in the track and field meet, but if a runner flubs the hand-off, he could flub the race.

2

Decide who will begin the first leg, the first runner of the race, and who will end the race, the last leg. A fast beginning will give you an advantage. If there is any distance to make up, the person running the last leg should be the fastest on the team.

3

Stay within the marked area for the baton hand-off. If the runner passing the baton or the runner receiving the baton goes past the designated area, that could disqualify your team.

4

Run and hold on to the baton.

5

Don't tense your muscles. That probably seems like an oxymoron to suggest running and relaxing your muscles since you're using your muscles for running, but it's not. Allow your muscles to work for you without tensing them.

6

Focus in front of you. Looking behind you, and turning your head to look to either side, slows you down.

7

Run your race. Stick to your strategy.

How to Dress Like a Punk

Clothing and accessories reveal much about your personality and style. Punk fashion is all about being on the edge of what is accepted or considered normal by some. It tells the world that you are not a conformist, but rather an independent individual.

2

Wear a kilt, leather or denim slim-fit pants with a T-shirt that promotes your favorite punk band or a strong political belief.

Customize your clothes by slashing or ripping them, and place laces or pins over the tears to hold them together.

4

Alter the look of your clothes by splattering bleach or paint on them.

Accessories

5

Enhance your punk look with torn fishnet stockings, bullet or studded belts, metal spikes, patches and buttons.

6

Wear safety pins (in your pierced earlobes) as earrings, military-style dog tags as necklaces, and rubber gaskets as bracelets. You may also hang a straight razor blade around your neck with a chain or pieces of a string for an edgy, dangerous-looking accessory.

7

Top off your punk look with a military jacket.

Hair and Makeup

8

Dye your hair in a bright hue such as red, orange, blue, green or purple and wear it in a spiked, Mohawk, shaved or partially shaved style. You can also bleach your hair white or platinum blond, or dye it jet black.

9

Adorn your eyes with heavy, black liner and mascara or decorate your face with sweeping, bold-colored eye shadows that extend to the hair line.

10

Apply bright red lipstick to your lips.

How to Win Space Invaders

Space Invaders was so popular in its original arcade release it caused a yen coin shortage in Japan. The arcade and Atari version have remained popular and although modern games have better graphics and more intricate game play, trying to beat Space Invaders remains a huge challenge. To score big, you must have quick hands and a winning strategy.

Instructions

1

Take advantage of a cheat enabling double shots on the Atari console. Turn the power off and hold down the reset button. While holding down the reset button, turn the power back on. Let go of the reset button and start a game and you can fire twice every time you press the fire button.

2

Shoot a narrow path in one of your barriers and then hide under it. You can continue to shoot through your path and the barrier provides at least some protection as long as the opening is as narrow as possible. This strategy ends at level five however, as there are not more barriers.

3

Prepare to beat level five before it begins. For the first five levels of the game, the space invaders start lower and lower on the screen and by level five they are as low as they can get. Hold the joystick to the right before the level begins with your finger on the fire button. Move quickly across the screen stopping briefly at each space invader in order to shoot him to clear this dangerous, low row right away.

4

Repeat this movement for each subsequent level. All levels after level five are exactly the same. By clearing out the lower row immediately, you dramatically improve your chances to beat the game. If you move quickly you can even eliminate the lower two rows by holding in place slightly longer before moving on to the next space invader.

5

Get bonus points by shooting the mother ships which cross the top of the screen. Concentrate on shooting the space invaders until you get down to two rows of four invaders. Then, avoid the space invader's fire and wait for mother ships to pass, shooting them as they do. Be careful not to shoot anymore space invaders as the mother ships will not pass if there are less than eight invaders on the screen.

6

Beat the game with 500,000 points. Although the game does continue for infinity, getting 500,000 points is a benchmark at which you beat the game.
