Q: Place a saucepan on your stove and fill it with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) of cold water. Turn the heat on to high, so the water boils. Turn the heat down a little, so the water rapidly simmers. For a rapid simmer, the water should be bubbling gently, but not creating large bubbles all over the surface of the water.
A: Heat water in a saucepan.

Q: Once you have your message in mind and have settled on the elements you want to use to express it you can begin to create your comic.  Creating a basic layout for your comic will allow you to get a feel for how it will look visually and how well it conveys your message.  Think about how best to use your space. Ask yourself what elements are most important.  Give them most space and attention in your layout. You might find that some original ideas don't fit or are cluttering the comics intended message.  Consider removing these extraneous elements. After you have decided the rough layout of your comic you can begin to sketch the outlines that will make up the completed comic.  Don't worry about forming the lines perfectly as you will be able to improve them as you work.  Take your time and enjoy creating the cartoon that you are designing.  Start outlining with a pencil, allowing you to make changes later on. Once you are happy with how the sketch looks begin to clean up your lines. Clean your lines by either making them bold or by erasing any rough areas and drawing them smoothly. It's okay to make some last minute changes and add some finishing touches. If you are happy with how your comic looks you can finalize your lines using black ink. Many political cartoons make use of dialogue which is featured in what is called a speech “bubble” or “balloon”.  These “bubbles” hold the text in an empty white space, allowing the audience to clearly read it.  Draw speech “bubbles” and place your text inside of them now to represent any dialogue you wanted to include.  Speech bubbles are generally smooth and oval shaped, with a triangular extension that points towards the person speaking. You may also want to use thought bubbles.  Thought bubbles are like speech bubbles but appear as small clouds, holding your characters inner dialogue within them. If your comic calls for color you can add it after your lines have been finished.  Adding color can be a great way to make your comic stand out and may even allow for further symbolism or messages to be conveyed.  Think carefully about which colors you might want to include and take your time when adding them.  Colors can carry meaning.  For example, the Democratic party of the United States uses blue. You can use any coloring tools you feel comfortable with including colored pencils, ink, or even crayons. You may also consider scanning your black and white image into a computer and digitally coloring it. If you aren't confident in your artistic abilities you can still create your own political comic.  There are many digital tools that can help you make your idea for a political comic a reality.  These services are found both online and as software with some requiring a fee and others being free.  There are many programs that allow you to create a comic using digital art, much like you would with a pen and paper. Some services come with art preloaded, allowing you to use this art in your own layout by simply dragging and dropping figures and elements where you want them.
A: Create a rough draft of your comic. Draw the outlines. Add any dialogue. Color your comic in. Use an online service or software to create your comic.

Q: Abrupt changes in a person's personality can be the result of prescription drugs. Someone abusing prescription drugs can become aloof or combative and argumentative. If this is a dramatic difference in the person's personality, consider the possibility that the person is abusing prescription drugs.  On stimulants, the person may become talkative, but their conversation may be hard to follow. They may frequently change the subject, unable to stay focused on a topic for any length of time. You may notice a person seeming paranoid, overly anxious about what other people say or do. The person may seem defensive or argumentative, even if this is uncharacteristic. They may become less able to deal with stress, more quick-tempered or sullen.<re>  Irritability is a common characteristic of someone with a prescription drug problem. The person may appear less mature than before, refusing to accept blame for any situation or minimizing her part in it. Making poor decisions, a result of not being able to think through everyday problems, is a common side-effect of drug abuse. The person may be unable to think about things unrelated to the drug.  You may notice the person being more obnoxious or silly than usual.  Poor concentration and problems with memory are signs of drug abuse.
A: Consider changes in personality or mood. Observe emotional responses. Be aware of changes in the person's attention.

Q: If you want round-shaped bars of soap, you can make a cylinder mold. Make sure you get your liquid soap ready before preparing a cylinder mold, as you'll be pouring the soap in as you go along. To start, gather your supplies, most of which you can find at a local craft store. You will need the following:  A PVC pipe A wooden cutting board Masking tape Heavy duty wax paper or baking paper Old towels A ladle Plastic wrap Wrap the wax or baking paper around the end of the pipe, making sure to cover completely so no soap leaks out. Then, take the masking tape and wrap it around the end of the pipe. Use a few layers of tape to make sure the wax paper is secure. You can also use rubber bands. Set your pipe down vertically. Use your ladle to transfer liquid soap into the pipe. Do not fill the pipe completely. Stop when you're about 2 inches (5 cm) away from the top of the pipe. Tightly wrap the plastic wrap around the other end of the pipe. Use a few pieces of tape or a rubber band to secure the plastic wrap. You want to keep the soap insulated during the curing process. Use old towels that you do not mind damaging. Soap may leak out, causing stains or odors. Wrap the mold in enough towels to cover the pipe completely, preventing outside air from getting into the mold. Set the mold aside for 48 hours, or as long as your soap recipe indicates it will take for the soap to dry. At this point, the soap should be cool enough to remove. Choose a safe place to keep the mold, away from children and animals. You want to make sure the mold is not moved or disturbed during the drying process. Once the soap is dry, you can remove it from the mold. This can be a little tricky. You should be able to push the soap through the pipe using a bottle or jar. If you have trouble removing the soap, consider lining the mold with parchment paper ahead of time the next time you use this method. This may make the soap slide out easier.
A:
Gather your supplies. Cover one end of the PVC pipe with wax or baking paper. Fill with liquid soap. Cover the other end of the pipe with plastic wrap. Wrap the mold towels. Cool the soap. Remove carefully.
