Article: If you need to cover your foam with one color of paint, a can of spray paint will suit your purposes well. It's cheap and, as long as a wood-glue finish is applied, it won't hurt your foam. Spray paint costs around $5 (£3.55). Shake the can up and down then side to side to ensure that the paint mixes fully. Do this for at least a minute before you start to paint. If you forget to shake the can, the product may come out unmixed. Keep the nozzle of your spray paint at least 3 ft (0.91 m) away from your project when painting it. Any closer and the density of the paint could break through the primer and destroy the foam. Paint in long, sweeping strokes to prevent drips and runs. Give the paint some time to dry before you spray another layer of paint onto your foam project. Continue to keep the can 3 ft (0.91 m) away from the foam. Spraying too close when you apply the second coat will cause your paint to wrinkle. The spray paint should dry fully within a day. Touch the paint after 24 hours to see if it is dry. If the spray paint comes off onto your fingers, give it a few more hours to dry. Turning up the heat in your working area will also help to decrease drying time.

Article: Pinworms can affect young and old alike. The means of transmission is fecal-oral. They are spread person-to-person by the ingestion of pinworm eggs in that have contaminated fingers, bedding, clothing, and other items. For instance, a child with a pinworm infection may itch his rectum and get eggs on his fingers or under his fingernails, then transmit them to an object or another person, or even re-infect himself. As you can imagine, the more you’re around people that have poor or undeveloped hygiene skills, the greater your risk.   High risk: Children in school/pre-school, people who are institutionalized, and family, household members, and caregivers of the first two groups. Children’s hands go everywhere and usually without a consistent washing. They are also often putting their hands/fingers in their mouth, touching toys, tables, each other, wiping hands on clothes, etc. The same goes for those in institutions. For both of these groups, their environments are a pinworm Petri dish.  Moderate-risk: As you might guess based on those that are high-risk, those that come into contact with any or all of the high-risk individuals are in the moderate risk category. There’s not much you can do other than make sure you follow standard hygiene guidelines. Since you can’t avoid people just because they may have pinworm, all you can do is take care of yourself as best you can.  Low-risk: This is basically everyone else. Adults who have little to no contact with either the high-risk group or fairly limited contact with the moderate-risk group are at a low risk for pinworm infections. After a pinworm egg is digested, there is an incubation period of one to two months or longer for the adult gravid female to mature in the small intestine.  Once mature, the adult female worm migrates to the colon and lays eggs around the anus at night, when many of their hosts are asleep. When they lay their eggs, they use "glue" that adheres the eggs to the anus and it is this substance that triggers the skin's itching sensation. This is why the itching is usually worse at night: the worms are migrating to the area around the rectum to lay their eggs. Scratching an itch can transfer microscopic pinworm eggs to your fingers. From there, the eggs can be transferred to the mouth or other mucous membranes. This hand-to-mouth transaction can also be accomplished indirectly as well. The eggs can be passed to various surfaces such as a shirt or desk, where they can live for two to three weeks and picked up on the hands of others who, eventually, put unwashed hands to their mouth. In addition to a noticeable irritation in the rectal area, someone can have a pinworm infection without having any symptoms. When symptoms are present, they are likely to be:  Restlessness, poor sleep, especially when this has not been an issue before Bedwetting Irritability (such as teeth-grinding) Vaginal discharge in females Bacterial skin infections If any of these symptoms are occurring, checking for the worms can be done using the naked eye, as follows:  You may be able to see worms in the anal (rectal) area, especially if you look about two or three hours after the infected person has fallen asleep. Use a flashlight (torch) to help you see clearly. You might also see the worms in the toilet after he or she goes to the bathroom. Look to see if the worms are wriggling in bowel movements. The worms are very small, about this long: ___. They may look like little bits of white thread. They may also be found on children's underwear in the morning. If you suspect a pinworm infestation, your doctor may ask you to place a piece of clear, sticky tape against the rectum. Pinworm eggs will stick to the tape. Your doctor will be able to see these eggs under the microscope.  The doctor might also take some samples from under the infected person’s fingernails and examine them for eggs. You may also use a pinworm paddle. This spatula-like device literally “scoops” the area and holds the spatula end in a plastic test tube.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Know how pinworms spread. Assess risk. Familiarize yourself with pinworms' lifecycle. Know how they transfer. Be alert for other signs of infestation. Look for actual signs of the worm. Take a sample of the infected area.
Article: To start, you'll need to gather your materials. Most of what you need for a conventional wish bracelet can be found at a local craft store. You will need the following:  Hemp twine Size 6/0 seed beads Scissors A clipboard or tape, which you'll use to pin down the twine as you braid To start your bracelet, you'll need to cut your hemp. Cut the hemp in a length big enough that the bracelet will fit around your wrist or ankle. Do not just measure the diameter of your wrist or ankle, however, as you'll be braiding the hemp which will reduce its length. About 15 inches will work for most wrist sizes, although you may need slightly more or less if your wrist is larger is smaller. When making bracelets for children, you will probably need less than 15 inches. An ankle bracelet will be larger, so you may need more hemp. For an ankle bracelet, 20 to 24 inches may be necessary. To start, you'll want to tie your strands of hemp together in an overhand knot. You'll want to leave about 2 inches of slack, as you'll have to tie the bracelet together when you're done.  An overhand knot is fairly simple. It's more or less a basic knot. Cross the end of the hemp over the rest of the hemp, making a Q-shape.  Tuck the tail of the hemp through the Q-shaped loop. Then, pull at both ends until the knot is sufficiently tight. From here, you can begin braiding the three strands of hemp together. To secure the hemp, tuck the tied end under the clip on your clipboard. If you're not using a clipboard, use a small piece of scotch tape to secure the tied end on a flat surface. Then, simply braid the ends together for about 2 and a half inches. Keep in mind, 2 and a half inches will result in about a 7 inch bracelet. If you want your bracelet to be longer or shorter than this, braid down slightly more or less.

Gather your materials. Cut three pieces of hemp based on wrist or ankle size. Tie the hemp strands together in an overhand knot on one end. Braid the hemp down about 2 and a half inches.
