The karat is a measurement used to designate the purity of gold. Higher ratios of gold to other metals in a piece means a higher karat count. Pure gold is 24 karat. A brass piece will not be marked with a karat count. The karat count is typically found in an inconspicuous place such as the bottom or inside of a piece, though it varies from piece to piece. ” While brass does not receive a karat count, it is sometimes marked.

Article: It needs to be tall enough to extend from the bridge of your nose down to your chin, like a surgical mask. The mask needs to be long enough to wrap around the front of your face. If it extends past your jaw, trim it shorter. Fold the mask in half lengthwise, and make a mark along edge side edge where the fold is. Unfold the mask, then fold it in half widthwise. Make another mark along the top of the folded edge. Unfold the mask when you are done.  You will have three marks: a mark along the top-center of the mask, and a mark on each side edge. Make sure that you are making the marks on the same side of the felt. Cut straight down from the top-center mark to the side-left mark. Repeat this step for the right side. You will have something that looks like a house. Fold the mask in half so that the narrow side edges match up again. Cut a > shaped notch into the side edge. Start at the bottom corner and finish at the top, right before it goes into the diagonal angle. Unfold the mask when you are done. Totomato's symbol is a large circle with a diagonal line going through it, like a non-smoking sign. The symbol should be almost the same height as the mask, with a 1/4 to 1/2-inch (0.64 to 1.27-centimeter) border at the top and bottom. Cut a piece of thin elastic so that it is long enough to loop over your ear. Thread it onto a needle with a large opening, such as a yarn needle or tapestry needle. Tie a knot onto the end of the elastic.  Try to use black elastic, if you can. You can use ribbon or string, if you want, but the measurements have to be exact. Turn the mask so that the back is facing you. Push the needle through the top corner of the notch. Pull it until the knot is against the fabric, then bring it through the bottom corner of the notch. The elastic needs to be long enough so that it can loop around your left ear. Once you are happy with the length, tie a knot into the end, then trim off the excess. When you are done, you will have two loops: one on the left side of your mask, and one on the right. Place the mask over your face, so that it covers your mouth and nose. Slip the left loop over your left ear, and the right loop over your right ear.

Article: While most places around the world require that disposable diapers be placed in regular waste bins bound for the landfill, some cities are attempting to reduce diaper waste by providing compost service.  In Toronto, for example, you can dump your dirty nappies—along with cat litter and pet waste—into a separate bin that goes to the city compost facility. Be sure to read guidelines carefully to make sure composting services accept diapers.  Portland, for example, runs a composting program that collects food scraps and other organic waste, but it does not accept diapers. If you have a back yard and a pre-existing compost heap, you can probably do your own dirty diaper compost.  If not, consider hiring a compost service that will do the dirty work for you.  These services pick up your diapers, take them to a large composting facility, and process the waste. Just make sure that you don’t dump your diaper waste into a food garden compost pile.  Only put bacteria-laden diaper waste into a compost pile you use for flowers, shrubs, and other vegetation not intended for human consumption. Composting is a great way to reduce diaper waste, but you should only do so with urine-soaked diapers.  Professional, large-scale composting facilities can accept both forms of waste because they can reach the high temperatures needed to destroy constituent bacteria, but your home compost pile cannot. Throw out the diapers containing solid waste in the usual fashion. Once you’ve accumulated two or three days worth of wet diapers, put on some gloves and take the pile out to your compost heap.  Hold each diaper above the heap and tear it open, starting on the side that would have been worn on your baby’s front side. The filling is fully compostable and most often made of sodium polyacrylate and wood pulp, also known as cellulose. The rest of the diaper’s lining, plastic, and paper is not compostable.  Set it aside and dispose of it with your other diapers containing solid waste. Using a shovel or long hoe, distribute the filling around the heap so that it’s not all lumped in one place.  Mix it into the top layer of pre-existing compost so that the fibers will begin to break down. A successful compost pile will break down constituent materials while producing minimal odors.  In order to make sure that your diaper filling begins to break down as quickly as possible, layer about half an inch of soil or lower-layer compost on top of it.  If you do this correctly, you should see visible results within a month.
