Q: This can help you monitor for new mole growth. You also should watch for discoloration or growth of old moles. If you have more than 100 moles, you are a higher risk for skin cancer. You should make an appointment with a dermatologist. Before you even consider removing a mole, you should know the type of mole and its symptoms. Some moles can be safe to remove, while others are not.  Atypical mole — Atypical moles, or dysplastic moles, can look suspicious in color and size. They can sometime be larger than an eraser head, have an odd shape, or have many colors. If you have this type of mole, consult your doctor to be sure it is not cancerous. Congenital mole — This is the type of mole you are born with. Roughly, 1 in 100 people are born with moles. They can range in size from tiny (size of a pin head) to giant (larger than a pencil eraser). Doctors suspect that people born with giant moles are at a higher risk for skin cancer.  Spitz nevus — This mole looks pink, raised, and dome shaped. It often looks like melanoma. It may ooze. It may itch or bleed. These are uncommon and mostly benign.   Acquired Mole — This term means moles that are acquired after birth. These are often called common moles. A common way to do so is to remember the “ABCD” rule. If you suspect that you have melanoma, seek medical attention immediately.  Asymmetry — The mole looks uneven, or one side does not match the other in size, shape, or color. Border that is irregular — The mole has ragged, blurred, or uneven edges. Color that is uneven — The mole has multiple shades, including black, brown, tan, or blue. Diameter — The mole is large in diameter (typically around ¼ inch wide). Evolving — The mole changes size, shape, and/or color in weeks or months time.
A: Perform a self-skin check. Count your moles. Recognize different mole types. Identify melanoma symptoms.

Q: If you're going to be on trails with steep drop-offs or rocky cliffs and your dog will be off-leash, it's better to have a dog that watches her step and has good balance than to get a dog that in her excitement might slip and fall. An agile dog will be an excellent companion for hiking because they'll be able to navigate tricky paths and trails without much assistance from their owner. Some dogs that fall in this category include:  Weimaraner Akita Dogs that are easy to train usually make excellent hiking companions because they can learn the trails and how you expect them to behave quickly. They will also usually interact well with other hikers and dogs. Some of these breeds include:  German Shepherd Labrador Retriever Norwegian Buhund Some dogs (like the Pitt Bull and Rottweiler) are prone to aggression unless trained very diligently. Others are difficult to train – like Huskies and Akitas. Be careful when choosing one of the following breeds as a hiking partner:  Pitt Bull Rottweiler Shiba Inu Husky A greyhound or a whippet, for example, will probably not enjoy a 10 mile (16 km) hike because they are bred for sprinting, not endurance. Additionally, flat-faced breeds such as English Bulldogs will struggle to breathe on long hikes and in hot weather, and so generally shouldn't undertake endurance activities. Some breeds with high endurance include:  German Shepherd Chesapeake Bay Retriever
A: Find a breed that is agile. Choose an easily trainable dog. Be cautious about certain breeds. Look for a dog with good endurance.

Q: Learning objectives help students understand why they are learning the material they are. As the teacher, you already know what you want students to achieve by the end of a lesson or the end of the term. Share that information with your students so you can all be on the same page.  For elementary school kids, you might say, “Multiplication is a way for us to add faster. Won't that be great to be able to do math super fast?" Learning objectives for a college course might include, “Students should be able to articulate all of the long-term effects of World War II on the United States by the end of the term.” Help your students succeed by giving them clear guidelines. Don't just say, “Write a paper on World War II.” Instead, state what the paper should analyze, how long it should be, and what types of sources should be used. You can use examples to help explain assignments, especially to students who aren't yet proficient in reading. For example, say, “We are going to make a poster of the solar system. You can cut out circles to represent the different planets. See how I've done that here?” When a student asks a question, it's important to give them a clear and thoughtful answer. Don't brush them off, take a moment to answer them then and there. If a student raises their hand to ask a question during class, take a moment to pause and help them out. Chances are, if someone is confused, other students might be, too.  For younger kids, you might say, "Sue, that's an interesting question! Thanks for asking. Let's all take a minute to think about that." Set aside time each day to answer emails from your students. Sometimes they might not have realized they have a question until after class is over. Be honest if you don't know the answer. Just say, "That's a great question. I'm not sure of the answer, but I'll look into it and get back to you." The syllabus is a great way for you to lay out the course themes, objectives, schedule, and expectations. Before the semester begins, make sure that you put some effort into making your syllabus clear and thorough. Remember to include key components such as:  Your contact information. Required books or resources. Graded components. Course schedule. Any school policies and procedures.
A: Explain learning objectives. Provide detailed information on assignments. Respond promptly to questions. Write a thorough syllabus for high school and college students.

Q: The measurements don't have to be exact. If you are using fresh lime juice, you will need about half a lime. If the drink is too sweet for you, you can add a little bit more lime juice. If the drink is not sweet enough, you can add more sugar. You can also use sugar packets. Each sugar packet contains about 1 teaspoon of sugar. Some people find that this is a good remedy for hangovers.
A:
Fill a glass with 8 to 10 ounces (236.59 to295.74 milliliters) of cold water. Add ½ teaspoon of lime juice to the water. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the water. Stir the water and enjoy it.
