Article: Use cool water and mild laundry detergent that’s free of bleach and added dyes to wash your suit if it isn’t already clean. Fill the sink with cool water and apply the soap directly to your suit. Massage the material in the water to create suds and clean away any grime. Drain the sink, then use fresh water to rinse the suit until no more suds are visible. Squeeze the suit by hand until the suit is just damp instead of drenched. If you iron a dirty suit, you are essentially baking in any residual salt, sand, sweat, sunscreen, or lotions you may have come into contact with the last time it was worn. If you don’t have a cotton cloth specifically for ironing, you could also use a handkerchief or some other kind of scrap fabric, just as long as it is clean and made of cotton. Never put the iron directly onto the damp bathing suit, as that will damage the material. To avoid damaging the swimsuit, avoid using high heat. It’ll take a little longer to iron and dry the suit, but in the end, your suit will be in better condition. You don’t need to fill the steamer basket in the iron for this process. Because the suit is already wet, you won’t need to add moisture to it. Because you’re using a low-heat setting, be prepared to iron your suit for upwards of 10 minutes. Work systematically from the top to the bottom of the suit, using long, even strokes. Press down with force so that the heat of the iron penetrates through the protective cloth and hits the swimsuit. Even though the iron isn’t exuding a ton of heat, still be careful to not catch your fingers or grab the bottom of the iron with your bare hands. It’ll still be hot enough to burn you! Make sure to work both sides of the suit so you don’t end up with one side that shrunk and one side that is still the original size. Try flipping the suit over after going from top to bottom completely. You may also want to wipe off the ironing board with a clean, dry towel when you flip the suit over. If there is excess moisture on the board, you don’t want it getting absorbed back up into the side you were just working on. It may take 10 minutes or more, so settle in at the ironing board. Continue using adequate pressure and alternating sides so that the suit dries as quickly as possible. Once the majority of the water is gone and the suit is almost completely dry to the touch, you can stop. If you dread the idea of ironing for that long, watch a show or listen to some music while you work—it’ll help the time pass more quickly. Avoid putting your suit into the sun as the heat could mutate the colors and weaken the elastic. Leave it on the ironing board, or hang it up on a clothesline to let it finish drying. Once it is completely dry to the touch, go ahead and try it on. If it isn’t as small as you’d like, go ahead and repeat the ironing method another 1 to 2 times. If it isn’t shrunken enough after those efforts, it may be time to take it in by hand or invest in a new suit. You could pop the suit into the dryer on high heat for about 20 minutes to finish drying it. This could help the material to shrink even more, but letting it air dry will be gentler on the material.

Wash your suit, rinse it out, and thoroughly wring out the excess water. Cover the suit with a cotton cloth once it’s on the ironing board. Turn the iron on to a low- or medium-heat setting. Iron the suit, pressing down with slow, firm movements. Flip the suit over from time to time to evenly iron both sides. Continue ironing until almost all of the water has evaporated. Let the suit air dry the rest of the way before wearing it again.
Article: " That person behind you in line at the ATM or the supermarket may just be another shopper, or they could be paying close attention to you in hopes of seeing your account balance or PIN. Shade the monitor area with your hand when typing in your PIN and block others’ view of the screen. Do this even when no one is around. Some thieves use binoculars or install cameras so they can watch you from far away. There typically is a lot of identifying information in your wallet or purse. If stolen, the person can use that information to steal your identity. For your protection and to help prevent identity theft, leave anything at home that you aren't planning on using.  Don't keep all your credit cards in your wallet. Keep them in a safe or other secure location in your home, and only take with you the card you're going to use. Write "SEE ID" in your signature block on the back of the card rather than signing it. You also can secure credit cards by changing them to a PIN-only option, if possible. Avoid carrying blank checks, or any identification other than what you need. For example, you should carry your driver's license if you're driving, but you won't need your passport if you're in your home country. Thieves can access your social security number if you have your social security card in your purse or bag. Consider leaving it stored in a locked storage location and only bring it on trips where it will be needed. Even in relatively safe areas, pickpockets or purse snatchers look for easy opportunities. You can keep what information you are carrying secure by always keeping your wallet or purse close to your person and within your line of sight.  Go for a cross-body bag, rather than one you merely dangle from one shoulder. Avoid allowing the bag to hang behind you, as someone could reach in without you even knowing. If you carry a wallet, consider attaching it to your body with a chain or bungee cord. Don't just stick it into your back pocket as someone could easily pull it out. Never leave your wallet or purse unattended, such as at a restaurant or grocery store. If you're out and about, it can be convenient to take advantage of the free public Wi-Fi available at many cafés, libraries, and public parks. However, if these networks are open to all, they come with risks.  Even if the network requires a password, you should still consider that network open if the password is available to anyone. Avoid doing any banking or transmitting any sensitive personal information when using these networks. Doing so provides an opportunity for hackers to access whatever information you have stored on your hard drive. Ideally, if you want to get cash with your debit card, you should use an ATM located inside a bank branch – even if you have to go a little out of your way. Private ATM machines, particularly those outdoors, present a tremendous risk.  Look for security cameras, and inspect the machine carefully for signs of tampering before you use it. Avoid ATMs located in out-of-the-way places.Stay away from poorly-lit ATMs at night. These not only put you at risk of identity theft, but also put you at risk of being assaulted or mugged. ATM skimming occurs when thieves put a device over top of an ATM card reader that steals the information from the card when you swipe. These skimming devices also can be found on unattended point-of-service card readers, such as those on gas pumps. Look carefully for signs of tampering. Many gas pumps, for example, have a tampering seal. Do not use the card reader if the seal has been broken, and alert store staff immediately.
