Q: Transfer the rice to a saucepan and add water. For every 1 cup (8 oz) of water, you should add 1.5 cups (12 oz) of water. Your saucepan should have large sides to keep the water from spilling as it boils. 5 minutes of sitting will allow your rice to cook evenly as it absorbs water. Do not cover your saucepan when you turn on the heat. Sushi rice does not need to be steamed until the saucepan is boiling. Turn the stove to high heat and let your rice boil for about 5 minutes. Avoid opening the lid while your rice boils. When you open the lid, steam escapes from the pot. Keep the rice boiling for an extra 20 minutes. Again, keep the lid closed—if you cannot resist the temptation to peek, try using a clear lid so you can watch the rice as it cooks. After 10 minutes, take off the lid and check the rice's texture. It should be soft and tender when it has absorbed enough water. Transfer the rice to a bowl and leave it to cool. Add 1/4 cup (2 oz) vinegar, 1⁄2 tablespoon (7.4 ml) (1/4 oz) vegetable oil, 1/8 cup (1 oz) white sugar, and a pinch of salt into your saucepan. Cook it over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. The ingredient amounts above are for cooking 1 cup (8 oz) of sushi rice. Adjust the amounts as needed, depending on how much sushi rice you make. Let the mixture cool 5-10 minutes, then pour it into your bowl of rice. The mixture should get your rice wet without pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Keep stirring until the rice absorbs the mixture, then let the rice sit for an additional 5 minutes. Serve the sushi rice or prepare your sushi after 5 minutes.
A: Combine the strained rice with water in a saucepan. Let the rice sit for about 3-5 minutes before turning on your stovetop. Cover your saucepan with a lid and bring it to a boil for 5 minutes. Turn the stove to low heat. Turn off the heat and let your rice sit for about 10 minutes. Combine rice vinegar, vegetable oil, white sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Stir the mixture into your rice after the sugar has dissolved. Finished.

Q: One of the best ways to hide your nose is to make another facial feature stand out more. Wearing bold eye makeup or daring lip color will cause onlookers to notice your eyes or lips more than any other part of your face, including your nose.  If you choose to accentuate your eyes, try applying dark eyeliner and mascara. If you choose to accentuate your lips, use bright or bold lipstick colors. Lip color with a little shine or sparkle can also work great. Only accentuate one feature at a time. Applying heavy makeup on both your eyes and lips can easily overwhelm your face. In addition to accentuating your lips or eyes, you can balance out your nose by making your cheekbones more prominent.  Choose a blush one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone and apply it to the apples of your cheeks. Shimmer blushes can actually work well here since they highlight skin more than matte blushes do. Similarly, you can also apply a light bronzer along the cheekbones to make them glow and stand out more. In particular, you need to keep shine off your nose. Shine catches the eye and draws more attention to a feature, so shine on your nose will make your nose look even larger.  The most important thing to do is to keep as much oil off your nose as possible. Use a gentle facial cleanser on your nose each morning and evening. Harsh cleansers can actually irritate the skin and cause it to produce more oil. Throughout the day, dab off some of the excess oil that gathers on your nose with tissue or cosmetic oil blotting paper. Make sure to use a toner and moisturizer after cleansing your face. When applying any makeup to your nose, use a matte formula instead of a shimmery formula. Use a primer before foundation so that oil does not disturb your foundation.
A: Highlight your eyes or lips. Draw subtle attention to your cheekbones. Keep the shine off your skin.

Q: First degree burns are the most common, and happen as a result of light scalding, brief contact with hot items, and the sun. The damage is only on the most superficial or outer layer of the skin.They will likely appear red, slightly swollen, and may or may not be slightly painful. Treat your first degree burn at home, since there is usually no need for expert medical attention. The outermost layer of skin has the ability to heal itself with care and time. First degree burns are classified as ‘minor burns’ and should be treated as such. Sometimes you may get an extensive first degree burn, such as a full body sunburn, but this does not need medical attention. Your skin might also appear blotchy, blisters will form, and the pain will be much more intense. Second degree burns come from brief contact with incredibly hot things (boiling water, for example), extended contact with hot items, and prolonged exposure time in the sun. Unless your second degree burn is on your hands, feet, groin, or face, treat it like a minor burn. If you have blisters, don't drain them. If the blister is drained, keep it clean by rinsing with water and swabbing with antibacterial ointment. You can also cover the ointment on the skin with a bandaid or another dressing. This dressing needs to be changed daily. A second degree burn burns through two layers of your skin. If your second degree burn is wider than three inches, covers your hands, feet, joints, or genitals, or doesn't heal over several weeks, then you should call your doctor for medical help. Third degree burns are the most serious and need immediate medical attention. These happen when extended exposure to a hot object burns through all three layers of your skin, sometimes causing muscle, fat, and bone damage. The burns will look leathery and have a white or black appearance. The pain can vary depending on the level of damage to the nerves in the skin layer (pain receptors). These burns can look “wet” because of the rupture of the cells and protein leakage. Third degree burns are always classified as a major burn and need treatment from a doctor as soon as possible. These are ‘burns’ that occur when your skin is exposed to low temperatures, like snow or ice, for an extended period of time. The area will look bright red, white, or black and will have a strong burning sensation as the skin is rewarmed. A low temperature “burn” is still considered a burn because it damages the skin's tissue layers.   Treat low-temperature burns as major burns in most cases, and get medical help for treatment.  Rewarm the skin in 37°C/98.6°F to 39°C/102.2°F water immediately after exposure. Chemical burns are another type of burn caused by skin contact with harmful chemicals that damage the skin layers. These types of burns will probably appear in the form of red patches, a rash, blisters, and open sores on your skin. Your first step is always to determine what caused the burn and to call poison control immediately.  Contact a poison control center immediately if you believe you've suffered a chemical burn. Care must be taken to neutralize and isolate the spread of the chemical.  Irrigate chemical burns with lots of water, however, avoid water if exposed to dry lime or elemental metals (such as sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, lithium etc.) as these can react with water and cause more injury.
A:
Figure out if you have a first degree burn. Know if you have a second degree burn. See if you have a third degree burn. Check low-temperature burns. Determine if you have a chemical burn.
