Put on a pair of pants that fit you well. Then attach the two lengths of elastic to the back of the pants using the clips. Bring each strap up and over each shoulder, forming an “X” in the back. Pull the straps over your shoulders and to the front. Attach the front clips to your pants. Have someone help you pin the two elastic straps together where they meet in the back. This will hold the crisscross in place so you can sew it together. Take off the suspenders first by undoing all the clips. Use your sewing machine or a needle and thread to sew a diamond of stitches where the suspenders overlap, securing the "X" shape. You'll need about 5 stitches in each direction.

The average wine cork is about 1.75 in (4.4 cm) in length, and you need the screw to be long enough to drive deeply into the cork and yet protrude out of the top of it by about 0.5 in (1.3 cm). Even though the screw should never actually contact the wine, wash it off with soap and water.  If you want to clean the screw more completely after washing it off, disinfect it by soaking it in a dish of rubbing alcohol for 1-2 minutes. Even better, sterilize it by placing it in boiling water for at least 5 minutes, or ideally 15 minutes, then letting the water cool. A slightly shorter screw may work, but don’t go any shorter than 1.5 in (3.8 cm) in length. Any screw-in hook with a screw portion that’s at least 1.5 in (3.8 cm) long will work. Twist it in clockwise by hand, so that the screw portion penetrates about 1.5 in (3.8 cm), then pull on the hook portion to remove the cork.  Bicycle hooks, which you use to hang a bike from a wall or ceiling, work well for this. The hook portion is usually vinyl coated, which makes them more comfortable to grip and pull on. Before using it, clean the screw-in hook in the same manner as described for a regular screw.

To start, find a firm surface. Lay the infant on the firm surface with their face down. Make sure the infant's head is turned so they can breathe. Kneel near the infant's feet. You can also place the infant on your lap face down. Use the heel of your hand. Deliver five quick blows to the area between the infant's shoulder blades. Hopefully, an object will pop out quickly. With an infant, be firm in the blows but do not use harsh force. You do not want to press too hard, as this could hurt an infant. Gravity combined with back blows can provide adequate force to dislodge the object. If no object pops out, turn the infant over. Support their head with your hand, keeping the head slightly lower than the feet. Place your fingers on the lower half of the infant's breastbone. Make sure to keep your hand in the middle of your infant's breastbone and not to one side of another. Press down five times in a series of chest thrusts. If you see the object become dislodged, stop giving chest thrusts. Immediately call 9-1-1 if the object does not become dislodged. As you wait, repeat the back blows and the chest thrusts. Repeating the steps may cause the object to become dislodged while you're waiting.

Classic tabby cats tend to have blotchy patterns across the body, leading some people to colloquially refer to classic tabbies as "blotched tabbies". The stripes on a classic tabby cat tend to be wider and thicker than on other varieties of tabbies. Those thicker lines can contribute to the blotchy pattern that is characteristic of classic tabbies. The distinct tabby lines appear circular or swirling on classic tabbies. On some cats they may even resemble a bullseye pattern. Typical tabby cats have black stripes over an otherwise brown coat. Other color variations do occur, but these typically have the qualifying color added before the word tabby, such as a ginger or red tabby (shades of orange and white) or a blue tabby (gray and white).
