Q: Allow the oil or jelly to soak in for 15 minutes. This will soften and loosen the crusts, making them easier to remove.  Because chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, including the scalp, be sure to read the manufacturers’ labels on the products to be sure that they are safe for babies. Don’t leave the oil/jelly on the baby, because this will make the crusts sticky and prevent them from naturally coming off. Coconut oil and shea butter are common natural remedies that can be applied.  Don’t use olive oil because it may encourage the growth of skin yeasts, or malassezia, and this may make the cradle cap worse.  Wash the oil off with warm water. This will also remove any natural oils that may have built up and caused dead skin cells to stick to the scalp, forming scales.  While shampooing gently massage the scalp to soften and loosen the scales. This can be done with your fingers, a washcloth, or a soft bristled baby brush. Don't scrub your baby's skin too hard, or you could irritate it. Don’t use dandruff shampoos because they may contain chemicals that aren’t recommended for babies and could be absorbed through the skin. This would only cause further irritation.  Thoroughly rinse all of the shampoo out of the baby’s hair to prevent irritation and if necessary, shampoo the baby daily. Strands of hair may come away with the flakes, but the hair will grow back. Don’t pick at the scales as this may cause an open wound which will make the baby vulnerable to an infection. Brushing the flakes out will be easiest after the bath when the baby is dry. When the flakes are wet, they will stick to the hair.
A: Rub a small amount of mineral oil, baby oil, or petroleum jelly into the scaly patches. Shampoo the baby gently with a mild baby shampoo to remove the oil/jelly and scales. Brush the loosened flakes out of the baby’s hair with a soft brush.

Q: Remove the skewers from the grill with a pair of tongs and pile them on a separate clean plate. There will be a lot of heat trapped in between the layers, so wait a few minutes before you dig in. By the time you finish getting the rest of the meal together, the sprouts should have cooled down enough to eat. You can either leave the sprouts on the skewers to keep things simple, or scrape them off into a larger serving bowl that you can pass around the table. Flame-fired brussels sprouts pair perfectly with hearty grill staples like steaks, chicken, chops, or salmon. They'll also be right at home among the usual lineup of summer veggies, including corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes. They're such a versatile ingredient that you can't go wrong! Make your grilled brussels sprouts a featured dish in a vegan or vegetarian meal.
A: Allow the sprouts to cool before eating. Serve with your favorite grilled foods.

Q: You can purchase a variety of different camouflage online, at hunting stores, or in most sporting goods stores. Purchase a camo shirt, pants, gloves, hat, and jacket. This will help you blend in with your surroundings and can prevent you from scaring away ducks.  If you are hunting in an area with wheat stalks or dead grass, a lighter camo is perfect. If you are hunting in an area with a lot of foliage, plants, and bushes, a greener camo is ideal. Dark black or brown camo is best in wooded areas. Decoys are hollow plastic models that float in the water and resemble ducks. If you know what species of duck you’re hunting, get a decoy that’s the same species to attract them to your hunting site. If you’re unsure of what kind of ducks you’re hunting, mallard decoys will typically attract most species of ducks. You can purchase a duck call at a hunting or sporting goods store. Using certain calls will attract ducks to your location, making it easier for them to shoot. Duck call whistles are typically the easiest for first-time hunters to use because you can just blow in them and don’t have to make a specific noise when using them. 12-gauge shotguns are the standard for duck hunting. You’ll have to decide whether you want to purchase a semi-automatic or a pump-action model. Popular duck hunting guns include the Remington 870, Winchester Model 12, and Browning BPS.  Pump action shotguns require you to cock back the gun before every shot. 20-gauge shotguns are typically used by young hunters while 10-gauge shotguns are popular for goose hunting. Lead bullets are considered toxic and cannot be used to hunt ducks. Steel, bismuth, tungsten, and other non-toxic shells should always be used when duck hunting. 3-inch (7.6 cm) shots are the most common shell size that’s used when hunting ducks.  Try out different brands of shells and determine which ones you like using the best. Popular brands include the Hevi-Shot Speed Ball, Remington HyperSonic Steel, and Kent TealSteel. A sleeve will fit around your gun and will keep it clean while you’re walking around the hunting site. Dirt and debris can get in your gun and cause it to jam, making a gun sleeve necessary if you’re hunting in mud or dirt. Waders are water repellent overalls that will keep your body dry. If you're hunting over a lake, you'll have to wade out into the water to retrieve downed ducks. Boots will prevent your shoes and socks from getting wet. This is critical if you plan on hunting in the cold weather. You can typically purchase waders in a similar camo as the rest of your gear.
A: Wear camouflage that blends in with your surroundings. Purchase duck decoys. Buy a duck call for the species you plan to hunt. Buy a 12-gauge shotgun. Use a non-toxic ammunition. Purchase a sleeve for your gun. Buy high boots and waders so you can retrieve the ducks.

Q: If your mouth breathing isn’t a structural or mouth issue, then it’s a habit. Breaking the habit is a matter of correcting the behavior when you notice you’re doing it. Breath through your nose instead of your mouth whenever you notice that you’re doing it. If you’re having issues breathing through your nose because it’s a habit, you can leave written reminders for yourself. Write “breathing” on sticky notes and place them on your computer or inside of books to remind yourself to use your nose to breathe. If your nose is stuffed from allergies or a cold, over-the-counter nasal sprays may be able to clear your nostrils and help your breath through your nose. Purchase the spray from a drugstore and read the directions before using it. Clear your nose first by blowing it, then carefully place the end of the nozzle into your nostril and press down on the applicator to spray the solution into your nose. Sheets and carpets can harbor pet dander and dust and can make allergies worse. Cleaning them once a week will prevent dust buildup and can make it easier to breathe through your nose.  If you sleep with your pet, you should try to sleep without them to see if that clears up your nose. Upholstered furniture is more likely to trap dirt and dust. Use leather, wooden, or vinyl furniture instead. Breathe through your nose for 2-3 minutes straight, then close your mouth, inhale deeply, and pinch your nose with your fingers. When you can't hold your breath any longer, slowly start to exhale through your nose. Continue to do this several times until you clear your nose. Many exercises like running, biking, and yoga require good breathing technique. If you get trained by a professional, they will give you the techniques you need to breathe properly through your nose. Look for classes locally and talk to your trainer about your mouth breathing problem.
A:
Breathe through your nose when you notice you’re using your mouth. Use sticky notes to remind yourself to breathe through your nose. Use a nasal spray to clear up obstructed nostrils. Clean your sheets and carpets once a week. Perform nose clearing exercises. Participate in yoga or other exercises that concentrate on breathing.
