An early symptom of an ingrown toenail is tender, red skin. However, you will see a marked increase in redness around the area if the toenail progresses to an infection. You may feel a warm to hot feeling around your toenail if it becomes infected. A throbbing pain may accompany the increase in temperature around your toenail as well. If the infection worsens or is left untreated, you may develop a fever. Look for pus under the skin near your nail. Pus is a sure sign of an infection. A bad odor may accompany an infected toenail that is secreting pus as well. An infected ingrown toenail may look as if red skin is surrounding a light colored area of skin (whitish in color). If you have an infection, then you will need to contact your doctor. Your doctor will be able to diagnose and treat the infection. Treatment depends on severity and can consist of soaking the feet in warm water, antibiotics, or removal of the ingrown toenail if the infection is severe.  Contact your doctor or podiatrist immediately if you have diabetes or AIDS, suffer from poor blood circulation, are on chemotherapy, or have a weakened immune system. Other reasons to see your doctor include persistent or chronic problems with ingrown toenails, if you have diabetes, a compromised immune system, or a condition affecting the nerves or the sensation in your feet, or if you have signs of infection, such as pus, redness, pain, or swelling.

One-sentence summary -- Look for an increased redness around your toenail. Notice if your skin feels hot. Watch out for green or yellow pus. Contact your doctor.

Q: Make sure that both pieces of yarn come from the same skein. In this method, you will be "felting" the yarn. If the yarn fuses together easily, it is made from wool. If it does not fuse together easily, it is made from acrylic. Yarn is made by twisting thinner pieces of yarn together. In order to felt the yarn, you will need to untwist it. Gently roll the yarn back and forth between your fingers until the threads loosen, and pull them apart into two, even groups. For example, if the yarn has 6 threads, separate it into 2 groups of 3 threads. Do this for both pieces of yarn. Each piece of yarn will have one long set of threads, and one short set of threads. You will be twisting the longer threads together to fuse the yarn together. Lay the two pieces of yarn down on the table so that frayed ends are facing each other. Move them towards each other until the long threads overlap and the short threads touch. You can do this simply by dipping them in water, or misting them lightly with a spray bottle. You can also lick them. As you roll, the long threads may come together. Don't worry if they don't come together easily or at all. This is part of the test! If the two pieces have fused together easily, and are difficult to pull apart, the yarn is made from wool. If the two pieces did not fuse together easily, and they come apart, the yarn is acrylic.  Felted wool may look dull and feel a little stiff, especially if it was soft and silky to begin with.
A: Cut two pieces of yarn that are several inches long. Untwist the first few inches of each piece of yarn and separate the loose threads into two, even groups. Shorten one set of threads on each piece of yarn. Overlap the long threads on both pieces of yarn until the short threads touch. Dampen the long threads. Rub and roll the overlapped long threads between your fingers until the yarn dries. Judge the results.

Article: You can find the mass number by rounding the atomic mass to the nearest whole number. This accounts for the fact that the atomic weight is an average of all possible atomic masses for that element, including ions.For example, the atomic weight of Carbon is 12.011, which rounds to 12. Similarly, the weight of Iron is 55.847, which rounds to 56. The mass number is calculated by adding together the number of protons and neutrons. This allows you to easily find the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the number or protons from the mass number!  Use this formula: Neutrons = Mass Number - Protons For example, Carbon’s mass number is 12, and it has 6 protons. Since 12 - 6 = 6, you know Carbon has 6 neutrons. For another example, Iron’s mass number is 56, and it has 26 protons. Since 56 - 26 = 30, you know Iron has 30 neutrons. An atom’s isotopes will contain a different number of neutrons, which changes the atom’s weight.

Determine the mass number of the element you’re studying. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the neutrons.

Article: It’s believed that the cumbia was originally a folkloric dance, in which African slaves imitated the Spanish. They did this, in part, through dressing in long skirts like the slave owners. As these two groups began to culturally and racially mix with indigenous Colombians, the cumbia became a dance of courtship and love. As such, the traditional dance almost always included pairs of men and women dancing with one another. However, they generally didn’t touch much, if at all. This was set to a new style of music, cumbia, using the rhythm of drums (the African influence) and the melody of flutes (the native Colombians). In its oldest and most traditional form, you hold a burning candle and take short, sliding or dragging steps to mimic the limited foot movement imposed by shackles on slaves’ ankles. You dance slowly along with other women in a counterclockwise circle. As you continue moving in a circle, sway your body back and forth while waving your skirt in a figure-8 motion. At times of your choosing, and without warning to your partner, approach him and spin, letting the candle pass before his face before retreating to your place in the circle.  Today, candles aren’t used much. Instead, women hold both sides of the skirt as they wave it or use one hand to wave the skirt while the other is raised in an open arc. You can dress in the original style or the more flamboyant one of today. If the former, wear a long and colorful skirt (a bolero) and a short-sleeved white shirt. Go either barefoot or in sandals, and wear your hair back. Or you can dress as many do today in long, colorful dresses. The skirt of the dress is often made of layers and ruffles and adorned with sequins. Wearing flower headdresses or a large flower tucked behind your ear is common. Large earrings and a face full of makeup are also the norm. You can go barefoot or in sandals. Much of the man’s dance involves trying to lure the woman to him. His steps and movements are  also faster than hers. Dance behind and around the woman, and take your hat on and off your head with one hand while holding the other behind your back. This gesture is intended to entice the woman toward you. When she approaches and spins, you can “crown” her with your hat before also spinning around her and then retreating. In some scenarios, the man holds a red handkerchief, bends low and fans the woman’s feet with it. Wear white pants and a white shirt; a hat or sombrero; and a large, colorful (often red) handkerchief tied around your neck. You can go barefoot or in sandals.

Get in an alluring state of mind. Sway like the women. Pursue the woman if you’re a man.
