Q: Vegetables are low-calorie, low-fat, and naturally filling snacks. They are high in fiber and potassium and can help reduce your risk for various conditions. Try mini carrots, snap peas, marinated jicama sticks, fresh pea hummus, or parmesan-crusted zucchini fries. Fruit offers a nutritious option to curb your sweet tooth. They are self-packaged, easy to take on-the-go, and great for busy people. Try apples, bananas, raisins, fruit leather (with no added sugar), or grape tomatoes. Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet. It works to build tissue, muscle, and bones, and slows digestion, which keeps you fuller longer. Foods high in protein include fish and chicken, beans and legumes, nuts, kale, and whole grains. Try low-fat or non-fat greek yogurt with granola and fruit, hard-boiled eggs, Justin’s peanut butter packets, cheese sticks, edamame, or whole-grain protein bars. Among many health benefits, fiber-based snacks are very filling in small quantities. Foods high in fiber include oats, citrus fruits, beans, barley, whole-wheat flour, potatoes, and bran. Try spiced chickpea nuts, pumpkin seeds (still in the shell), an almond-honey power bar, or a cranberry-nut mini loaf with flaxseed. Healthy doesn’t mean sweet-free. If you love dessert, make sure to incorporate something sweet. A few healthy ideas include fruit crumble muesli bars, nut butter brownies or the three-ingredient brownie, apple cinnamon yogurt bites, and strawberry oatmeal bars.
A: Choose vegetable-based snacks. Choose fruit-based snacks. Choose snacks that are high in protein. Choose snacks that are high in fiber. Don’t exclude sweet snacks.

Q: Pai Gow Poker is a variation of poker that uses the traditional 5-card hand. However, instead of playing against the other players at the table, everyone is playing against the dealer's hand. Before you play Pai Gow Poker, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic 5-card poker hands.  Royal flush: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and a 10 of the same suit. Straight flush: 5 consecutive cards of the same suit like ace, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of clubs. 4 of a kind: 4 of the same cards, but different suits. Full house: 3 cards of the same ran plus 2 cards of the same rank. Flush: 5 cards of the same suit. Straight: 5 cards in sequence but can be from different suits, like 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 3 of a kind: 3 of the same cards. 2 pair: 2 matching cards of the same ranking and 2 matching cards of another rank. A pair: 2 matching cards. High card: the highest ranking card in the hand. In Pai Gow poker, you're dealt 7 cards each round. Once you get your cards, you need to arrange your best 5-card hand and your best 2-card hand. Your 5-card hand has to be better than your 2-card hand. For your 2-card hand, the best you can get is a pair. Not every one of the 5 cards needs to be a part of your hand. For example, if you have 3 of a kind, the remaining 2 cards can simply form the rest of your 5-card hand. In Pai Gow poker, you play against the dealer, not the other players at the table. If both your 5-card hand and your 2-card hand beats the dealer, you win the round and double the bet that you placed. Lose both of your hands against the dealer's hands, then you lose your bet. If you win 1 of your hands and the dealer wins the other, then the round ends in a push and nobody wins the round. If both of your hands tie the dealer, then the dealer wins that round.
A: Learn the 10 basic 5-card hands in traditional poker. Make your best 2 hands out of the cards you're dealt each round. Try to beat both of the dealer's hands to win a round.

Q: If you don't get rid of the bed bugs, the stains will continue to plague you. Look for bugs and eggs in and around your bed, in the drawers of nightstands and dressers, behind and under furniture, and in curtains.  A flashlight can help you spot bugs and their eggs more clearly. Bugs will be light brown and small. Eggs are often laid together in groups. Bed bugs love to hide in cracks, corners, and recessed areas. Carpets, clothing, and other fabric items can become infested with bed bugs. with heat and cold. Fabric items must be a laundered at 122 °F (50 °C) to kill bed bugs, and it'll likely take several washings before the bugs are completely removed. Fabric kept at or below 32 °F (0 °C) for 2 weeks will also kill the bugs.  Small and large items can be encased in special bed bug killing covers. These can be bought at most convenience and grocery stores. Severe infestations may require chemical treatments or the services of bed bug removal experts. Blood stains, bed bug stains, and fecal matter stains all have one thing in common: they're all organic. Cold water loosens the organic matter so it doesn’t set in the fabric. Warm water, on the other hand, will set bed bug stains. A missed egg or bed bug could result in the return of this pest. Beg bugs tend to congregate in certain areas, so keep an eye on the places the infestation was the worst so you can take action if your problem is on the rebound.
A: Locate the nesting area(s). Kill bed bugs Blot the spots with cold water immediately upon discover. Monitor hot spots to prevent reinfestations.

Q: It's best if the person who is bleeding applies pressure to his own lip, but if you must assist, be sure to wear clean rubber gloves. Using a clean towel or piece of gauze or a bandage, apply gentle but firm pressure to the cut for a full 15 minutes. If the towel, gauze or bandage becomes completely saturated with blood, apply additional gauze or bandages without removing the first layer. The cut may trickle or spot blood for upwards of 45 minutes, but if there is steady bleeding after the first 15 minutes you may need to seek medical help.  The mouth—including gums, tongue, and lips—has a lot of blood vessels and a heavy blood supply, so oral lesions tend to bleed more than cuts on other parts of the body.  Apply the pressure inward, toward the teeth, jaw, or gums. If this is uncomfortable for the injured person, place gauze or clean cloth between the person’s teeth and lip, then resume applying pressure. If the bleeding has not stopped after 15 minutes of steady pressure, if the injured person has problems breathing or swallowing, if he has loose teeth or if his teeth seem out of their usual position, if you are unable to remove all dirt or debris, or you are concerned he may have other injuries to his face, you should contact a doctor to see if the injury needs stitches or other professional treatment. Do this as soon as possible, as the chances of infection increase the longer you leave a wound open and bleeding. If you have any doubt, make sure to contact a doctor.  If the cut goes all the way through the lip, it's important to seek medical assistance immediately. If the cut is on the red part of the lip as well as on the normal colored skin above or below the lip (crosses the vermillion border), the injured person should see a doctor for stitches. Stitches will reduce the risk of infection and help make sure the wound heals in the best cosmetic way. Doctors recommend stitches if the cut is deep and gaping, meaning that you can place fingers on either side of the cut and gently pry it open with minimal effort.  Doctors may also recommend stitches if there is a flap of skin that can easily be sutured.  Deep lacerations that require stitches should not wait more than 8 hours, maximum, to receive safe treatment.
A:
Apply pressure. Check the wound after 15 minutes. Contact a medical professional if necessary.
