Summarize the following:
Decide how you want to fake it. Map out the event on paper to better flush out your ideas for the prank. Plan to “die” in front of people you know can handle it. Gather any supplies like fake blood or a trick dagger from a local costume shop.  ”Dying” in front of someone will take a lot of convincing and dedication from you. Be prepared to go the extra mile in selling your “death" to your peers. Try to decide a good location to “die.” You probably don't want to be somewhere too public or else a bystander could call an ambulance.  Night is a good time because there won't be as much light on the scene. Pick out one or a group of your friends to witness your faux death. Begin telling them clues that you aren't doing so well. Decide if you want to “die” from an injury or disease. If you're planning a disease induced “death,” tell them about your failing health. Be dramatic to the point of them believing you.   Choose symptoms like headache, nausea, jittering limbs, or fainting. If you are planning to “die” from an injury, make up a person who is angry with you. Build up a story about how someone shady is anxious for you to pay them. Pretend to be in extreme, sudden pain. Fall to the ground holding your side. Place an open packet of ketchup in your mouth so that once you hit the floor it looks like blood is oozing out of your mouth.  Make yourself as limp as possible after having a brief convulsion. Control your breathing. Don't let them see your chest rise and fall.  Having too much of a spasm can give away your act. Do everything in subtlety when it comes to tricking your friends or the camera. Lay there until people start to get scared. Never let a “trick” get taken out of context. Come forward if the audience becomes too distraught. You can do this in several different scenarios and most of which can happen out of sight from your audience. You could have gotten into a car accident or been severely beaten while being mugged. Roughen up some of your clothes to appear as though you were severely injured. Add blood smears and tears to parts of your outfit.  Apply charcoal to parts of your face to look like you've been beaten up.  Break an old pair of glasses for an added effect. It's best to have a set time of meeting and show up late for dramatic effect. Make sure your audience is in the location you planned them to be at. Wear the clothes and makeup from your “injury.”  Limp onto the scene and begin to mutter audibly what happened like, “a . . . a . . . car crash” or “he sa. . .sa. . . said give me the ma. . .money.”  Collapse just before you reach your audience. As mentioned earlier, have an opened packet of ketchup in your mouth for when you fall. Once you hit the ground, bite down on the ketchup and allow it to ooze out of your mouth.  Once they start shaking you, asking you if you are alright, say, “gotcha!”

summary: Plan the event. Plant the seed. Enact a sudden death. Prepare your appearance as being injured. ”Die” from an injury.

Diatomaceous earth is an effective way to kill ladybugs before they can enter your garden. Wear goggles and a face mask, and generously spread the diatomaceous earth around each garden bed. You can also sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the outside of your house to prevent ladybugs getting inside.  Diatomaceous earth is safe for pets and children. However, it will kill other beneficial insects like honeybees. The goggles and face mask are only to prevent the powder being inhaled as it settles. Once it has settled, you can remove your safety gear. Deterring ladybugs from getting into your plants and home may be as simple as doing some gardening! Include plenty of mums in your garden, as these plants repel ladybugs. These protect neighboring plants and also deter ladybugs from entering your home through any doors or windows that are close by. Either plant the mums in the ground or in gardening pots and water them regularly to help them thrive. If the ladybugs in the garden are unmanageable, then an outdoor insecticide is an effective solution. Find an outdoor insecticide at your local gardening center and follow the manufacturer’s directions closely to apply it. Check the label before you begin to make sure that it's safe for any specific plants you may have, pets, and children.  Outdoor insecticides are commonly sold as either dusts, powders, or sprays. Always use gloves, a face mask, and goggles when applying outdoor insecticides.

summary: Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the yard or garden perimeter. Plant Mums around your yard or garden to repel ladybugs. Use an outdoor insecticide if the infestation is difficult to control.


Summarize the following:
before and after treating the cut. Wash up with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds before touching your cut to avoid contaminating it further. Since it’s easy to spread germs that cause infection, wash your hands again after touching the cut. Avoid touching the cut unless you’re cleaning it or changing the bandage. Scratching or playing with it can spread germs and worsen the infection. Wash the cut thoroughly, using gentle soap and warm water. This will rinse away bacteria and other infectious microbes. After washing the cut, rinse it with warm water for about 5 minutes, then gently blot it dry with a clean towel. Do not clean or rinse the cut with iodine, rubbing alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide, as these can irritate the injured tissue and slow down the healing process. Use a clean gauze pad, cotton swab, or paper towel to wipe the cut with an antibacterial ointment. Throw the pad or swab away after it touches your cut. Don’t add more ointment to the swab or set it down on a countertop. Apply antibacterial ointment 3 times a day or whenever you change the dressing. Dress the cut with an adhesive bandage or gauze to keep out dirt and prevent spreading the infection. Change the dressing at least 3 times a day, or whenever it gets wet or soiled. Don’t let the sticky part of an adhesive bandage touch the cut. Additionally, avoid touching the part of the bandage that comes into contact with your cut.
summary: Wash your hands Clean the infected cut. Apply an antiseptic or antibacterial solution. Cover the cut with a sterile bandage.
