Use a few soft pillows to prop up your injured area. Try to keep the bruised area elevated higher than chest level to control the amount of blood that pools in the bruised tissue. The more blood that pools, the darker the bruise will be and the more the area will swell up.For example, if you bruised your shin, lie down and place a few pillows under the lower part of your leg so that your shin is elevated above chest level. Heat can increase swelling, so don't apply a heating pad until your swelling goes down. You can apply a heating pad or a cloth soaked with warm water for 10-15 minutes at a time. It's safe to do this several times per day for pain relief and to help with flexibility.For example, place a cloth soaked in warm water over your bruised knee for pain relief. If you're dealing with a serious bruise and a lot of swelling, try loosely wrapping your injury with a compression or elastic bandage. This limits blood leakage in the injured tissue and helps with swelling. Make sure you don’t apply the pressure bandage too tightly!  For example, you could wrap a bruised shin or thigh. Generally, you don't need to compress minor bruises.

Summary: Elevate your injury to reduce swelling and prevent blood from pooling. Switch to a heating pad after 48 hours or when the swelling reduces. Wrap the area with a compression bandage if the swelling is bad.


Say you are on Google+ login page, and it has auto-filled the username and password (as you previously clicked "remember me" in your browser to stay signed in). All browsers for security purpose mask the password field with asterisks; this makes text secret. There is an easy way to covert those asterisks to normal text. Select "Inspect Element". After you inspect elements, a developer tool window will appear below, where you will see the code which is highlighted and code looks like <input id="password" class=" " type="password"......>. Double-click on "password" and change it to "text" like this: <input id=password class=" " type="text".......>.  Hit Enter now. After you hit enter, you will reveal a text which is replaced by masked symbols (asterisks). To replace the asterisks/dots, undo the same action. Replace "text" with "password," and it'll be back to normal.

Summary: Open your Mozilla-Firefox and view the login screen. Right click within the password field. Change the password field type. View the password.


If you leave your washing machine untouched, it can start to get smelly over time. A good preventative measure is to wipe down the interior surfaces on a regular basis to avoid buildups of grime and residue.  Use a warm washcloth to wipe down the interior. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. You can also use a bit of vinegar to help sanitize the inside of your washing machine. Add 2  c (470 mL) of bleach to the detergent container on your washing machine. Run the empty laundry machine on a hot cycle, but stop the machine as soon as the water starts swishing around. You can usually stop the machine by pressing pause, pulling out the knob, or using another method indicated in the instruction manual.  Let the hot water and bleach sit in the washing machine for approximately 30 minutes. Then finish running the load so the remaining traces of bleach are removed. Make sure you rinse out the bleach thoroughly before using the washing machine again. If there is any remaining bleach, it could possibly stain your laundry or anything else it comes into contact with. Laundry detergents that are made for use in high-efficiency washing machines are better at maintaining cleanliness because they produce fewer suds during the cleaning process than regular detergents. This means that some of the excess particles may not get rinsed out of your clothes or your washing machine. Using the high-efficiency detergent on a daily basis will help keep your machine fresher longer, and will allow you to clean your washing machine less frequently.

Summary: Wipe down the interior surfaces of the washing machine regularly. Sterilize with bleach. Use detergents made for high-efficiency machines.


Place your right hand on your partner's upper back, just below their shoulder blade. Then, keep your right arm under their left arm, and hold your partner's left hand in your right hand. In dance, there's typically one partner who sets the pace, called the leader. In traditional male-female pairs, the male is usually the lead, but that doesn't always have to be the case! If your partner is the one who's leading, place your right hand on your partner's shoulder and rest your left arm on their right arm. Clasp your partner's right hand with your left, bend your elbow slightly, and hold your hands up at about chest height. No matter which position you're dancing in, try to avoid having a stiff posture while you're swing dancing. Walking in place while facing your partner is a simple way to dance East Coast Swing. You can also walk together from side to side, or forward and backwards. Make sure that your partner steps at the same time using the opposite feet as you do. For example, if you take a step with your right foot, then they should take a step with their left foot, and vice versa. This is called a rock-step. While facing your partner, take a step back and put all of your weight on that back foot. Your partner should also step back and rock back as you do, but using the opposite foot. For example, if you step back with your left foot, then your partner should step back with their right foot.
Summary: Place one hand on your partner's back if you're leading. Hold your partner's shoulder and opposite hand if you're following. Take 2 slow steps in place while mirroring your partner. Step back and shift your weight to your back foot, then step forward again.
