Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Save. Borrow from family and friends. Ask about payment plans.

Answer: Simply saving is probably the best option. Putting away small amounts of money over time assure that you'll have enough for the procedure and will not have to take out loans or use a credit card. It's best to have the money upfront for most cosmetic surgeries. The main drawback, however, is that you might have to wait months or even years to secure the necessary funds. If you're unable to secure a loan or use a card, try to borrow money from family and friends. Expectations of repayment are more flexible and there will likely not be an interest rate.  If you make a late payment, your loved ones should understand. If you have anything in writing, you can agree to flexible terms and low to no interest. It can be a quick, hassle-free way to secure the money. The main drawback of borrowing from friends and family is that it jeopardizes your relationships. People frequently have falling outs over money. If you're unable to make a payment or default on the agreement you could end up estranged from a loved one. Doctors may be able to work out a payment plan with you. This way, you would not have to pay the total cost upfront.  For a doctor's payment plan, missed or late payments do not show up on a credit card. There is generally no interest. Doctors are usually flexible enough that they can create a plan that works for your specific needs. The main drawback is unpaid loans can still go to collections. This can seriously damage your credit score. It can also damage your relationship with your doctor. He or she might not be willing to help you if you're in need of future procedures.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the baby over your shoulder. Pat them between the shoulder blades. Know when the baby burped, and stop patting. Put them in front of you as soon as they burp, and show them your smiling face.

Answer: Be sure to support your child's head and neck while you do this. You might have more success lifting your baby higher, so that his or her belly is resting on your shoulder. You might want to put a burping cloth over your shoulder, especially if the child is under a year old. The bottom of their esophagus (the tube that brings food into the stomach) is not all the way developed and may be briefly sent out of whack when the baby burps. This sometimes causes them to spit up, but is perfectly natural. Do this very gently.  You should only pat them using wrist action; do not move your arm in order to burp your baby. If you don't want to pat your baby, you can also rub his or her back using a circular motion with your hand. Although a bit less effective, it often accomplishes the same thing. It might sound like a normal burp, and if it does, you know to stop. Otherwise, it could sound like a sneeze, a grunt, or just a brief, "Ump." Establish your presence again and give your baby a kiss.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider your own ability and reaction. Macerate tiny fish. Knock the fish unconscious (optional). Decapitate the fish. Pith the brain immediately.

Answer: These methods are only humane if you can perform them accurately and quickly. Skip to a different section if you think the sight of gore or a struggling fish will affect you. These methods are usually used to kill food fish or laboratory research subjects, not family pets. Unless you're experienced with fish anatomy, practice on dead fish first so you can perform these quickly and without mistakes. Fish less than 2 cm (¾ inch) long can be killed instantly in a fish macerator, which chops it apart with rapidly moving blades. Make sure to use a macerator intended for exactly your size of fish. The larger the fish is, the less humane this death is. Even if you have a macerator intended for larger fish, it may cause suffering. Stun the fish by clubbing it just above the eyes, with an appropriately sized, hard object. Repeat with more force if the fish is still conscious. There is evidence that at least some fish species can remain conscious after decapitation, so this step is highly recommended. Fish species adapted for low oxygen conditions are more likely to remain conscious after decapitation. Hold down the head and sever it with a powerful motion from a sharp knife, just behind the skull. Alternatively, you can insert the knife behind the skull and sever the spinal cord and vertebrae. This "cervical transection" is less messy, but not recommended unless you have experience with fish anatomy. Even after decapitation, the fish may still be alive for a short time. Ensure a rapid death by immediately inserting a sharp spike or knife into the brain, between the eyes. Push forward and backward to destroy the brain and the end of the spinal cord. You can use online resources to locate the most effective point to insert the spike, for various edible species.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy a pair of blending and texturizing shears. Add chunking shears to your array of scissors. Get a pair of finishing shears. Find shears with adjustable screws.

Answer:
These shears are very versatile, and are able to cut about 40-70% of hair off in a few quick cuts.  They can be used to add a level of texture, or naturally blend different levels of your hair.  There are generally 25 teeth on this particular type of shear. If you have especially thick hair to cut, these are great.  However, they can be difficult to use and leave holes in the cut, so only use them for very thick hair. They can take big chunks out at once (40-80%), and can cut through thicker hair than a standard pair of shears.  These even work best with curly hair, which is hard to cut with normal scissors.  These shears have about 7-15 teeth on them. They remove much less hair than the other two pairs of shears.  This is a great pair of shears to go back over your hair after you have already made a pass with the standard shears.  They give your hair a softer, lived in look.  However, you will have to make more passes with these shears, as they take so little off. Most, if not all shears, are stainless steel.  However, shears with an adjustable screw can make all the difference in the world.  If you find that the tension is off, then the screw allows you to adjust it.
