When you first get your piercing done, ask the piercer to use a ring instead of a barbell. Swelling will occur around the nipple piercing, which can make the barbell feel tight in the beginning. A ring is also easier to clean since you can rotate it through the piercing. After a couple months, you can switch to a barbell if you would like. Just wait until the piercing is completely done healing. It’s very important to use sterile, surgical steel piercing jewelry when you first get the nipple piercing. This will help stave off infection and promote a quicker healing process. Your nipple is a very sensitive area and needs to be cared for properly. Jewelry made out of other materials may irritate your new piercing and may even lead to infection. Make sure that the person doing your nipple piercing is a professional, licensed piercer. This usually means that they have apprenticed under a master piercer and been given a certification of training completed. They will usually operate out of a tattoo or piercing shop. Ask your piercer for advice on what kind of jewelry to choose for your nipple piercing and be sure to follow all of their aftercare instructions.

summary: Use a ring. Choose surgical steel. Ask the advice of a professional piercer.

Writing a clear goal for each lesson and activity will help focus the learning of your students and your teaching.  For example, if you're planning a history unit on the Great Depression, you may want students to understand 1) the root causes of the Great Depression; 2) the efforts taken by Herbert Hoover to address the Depression; 3) the accomplishments of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal; 4) challenges to the emerging New Deal order; and 5) the influence of World War II in ending the Depression. Use these five goals to plan lessons and activities that will meet these goals. Normally, these begin with objectives, but also include standards addressed, materials, lessons, assessments, resources, and accommodations for all learners in the classroom. The templates provided at the end of this article may be useful for course planning. Take some time to review what resources are already available to you.  Often, there are good resources already in use and taking the time to use a previous lesson or learning methodology will save a lot of time in the long run.  Consult experienced fellow teachers; many times they will be willing to share plans and ideas. Forty-two states and the District of Columbia use the Common Core State Standards, with Alaska, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia retaining different systems.  You will be held accountable for meeting these standards; clearly understanding how your unit addresses state standards will make it easier for you and your school to report on outcomes. This exercise will help you understand how much material you can realistically fit into a unit and how you should allocate your time.  Remember to leave room for adjustment.  You may find that in practice, a given concept takes more or less time to convey than anticipated.  If, for example, you have four weeks to address the five Great Depression unit goals outlined above, you may opt to begin with three lessons on the Depression's root causes and end with two focused upon the influence of World War II in ending the Depression.  In between, you might allocate roughly a week to each of the other three goals, but leave a "float" day or two built into the schedule. Plan supplemental assignments for "float" days that, while enriching, are not required material for meeting state standards.  You'll be well-prepared if you do need the lessons, but you'll retain the capacity to sacrifice this material in favor of spending an extra day on a key learning goal. After reviewing what resources you can pull from, creating a diversity of assessment tools to evaluate learning is next.  Both formative and summative measures should be in place to ensure a broad evaluation of the objectives is met by all students.  Formative assessments monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback.  These tools help you understand how well students are grasping course material so you can make adjustments as you go.  Formative assessments typically have little or no point value -- they are meant as a check for the instructor and not as an assessment of student performance.  A formative assessment tool for our Great Depression example might be a request that students submit two key points gleaned from a lecture on the First Hundred Days of the New Deal. Summative assessments evaluate student learning and are typically given at the end of an instructional unit.  These tools typically have high point value as they do gauge student performance.  A summative assessment tool for our Great Depression example might be a research paper on a topic of the student's choosing. Given the time and the needs of your students, select what fits their learning styles and approaches that will garner their curiosity and interest.  Variety will ensure that diverse needs are met. Our unit on the Great Depression, for example, might mix periodic lectures with examination of primary source documents, conversations about images of the Dust Bowl, audio recordings of some of Franklin Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats," and viewing of the film The Grapes of Wrath. Once the unit has begun, have benchmarks to maneuver through the unit.  This will help keep you on track for time and ensure that learning objectives are being met.  Formative assessments can provide useful benchmarks. Plan points at which you will commit to move onto new material even if student understanding remains incomplete.  Spending too much time on one segment of your unit sacrifices the others.

summary: Define your objectives. Follow a standard template for preparing a unit. Survey your resources. Study the state standards and become knowledgeable about the actual content/subject matter of your unit plan. List in sequential order the major concepts in outline form to be clear on what concepts you are planning to teach within a given time frame. Plan and create your assessment tools. Pick and choose the lessons. Have benchmarks in place.

It’s best to do this before opening the remote. Some of the buttons may come flying out when you open it. Use your phone or draw a diagram if you don’t have a user manual with one in it. Also, note and document the position of any screws on the remote.  The solution used to fix on the remote takes some time to dry. Forgetting the button positioning is very easy when you’re forced to wait before putting it back together. Fortunately, you will have a handy picture to make it easier! Putting back the screws can also be confusing, so make sure you have pictures of all of them and know where they belong. Undo the cover on the back of your controller to pull out the batteries. Removing the batteries will deactivate the controller. It’s always a good idea to deactivate the controller this way before applying any sort of fluid to the electrical components inside of it. Depending on the remote, you may need to remove the batteries to open the casing anyway. All remotes are different, so taking them apart isn’t always a straightforward process. Most of them have a couple of screws in the back. Use a mini Phillips screwdriver to turn the screws counterclockwise until you’re able to remove them. If you don’t see any screws on the back, check the battery compartment and also look underneath any stickers or sliding covers.  Some remotes may not have any visible screws. These types of removes usually just need to be pried open with a dull blade. Be cautious when removing the screws. If the screwdriver slips, it could scratch up your remote. Look for a crack running along the side or edge of the remote. Most remotes consist of 2 plastic halves. By separating the halves, you can access the internal electronics. Wedge the knife into the crack, pry up the cover, and use your hands to pop it off. Handle the remote carefully to avoid scratching it. Never attempt to open it with anything sharp.
summary: Snap a picture of the button configuration before opening the remote. Take the batteries out of the remote control. Find and remove any screws keeping the remote together. Open the remote with a butter knife or another dull tool.
