For this trick you will need to cut one of your cards in half. Do this with a trick deck you don't plan to use for card games. Take out four cards: three jacks of any suit and a number card (4 of hearts or 7 of diamonds). Use a pair of scissors to cut the numerical card in half so that the top and bottom of the card are still clear. Then use tape to join the ends of the severed card together. Don't tape in front of the inside of the card. Your card should now be able to be folded without tape showing. Fold the numerical card on top of one of the jacks. Hold the cards so that the masked jack is in the middle of the other jacks. When showing the hand to people it should look like a numerical card in between jacks. Once you have the prepared cards in your hand, you're ready to try it on someone. First show your audience the "three" cards. Make some type of line about how one card is being sandwiched between two jacks. You want to get them thinking about the two jacks in your hand. " Now you're ready to finalize the trick. Turn the cards over so they are face down and pull them onto a surface starting with the bottom card. The masked jack will look like any old face down card. It is important to grip and conceal the sleeve card. Have someone from the audience flip the cards over.  When finished successfully, the audience will see three jacks. Practice concealing the "mask" and work on preforming this trick quickly. The faster you can do the trick, the more convincing your act is.

The dance floor is a great outlet for having fun at a party. No one should ever feel too embarrassed to dance. If you are shy and feel uncomfortable, don't start the dance party. If partygoers are already dancing, join in, even if it is just for one song.  Dance floors are sometimes a good way to meet people. You can always compliment someone on their dance moves. Let the music take over and don't fight the temptation. You will have an easier time dancing by feeling the rhythm and moving to the beat. If there is alcohol at the party, which there probably will be, don’t be shocked. Pour yourself a drink if the host offered it to you. Don’t make it a goal to get drunk, but having a drink or two could help you loosen up and chat with people. If you don’t want to drink, respect other people's decisions for drinking.  If you're underage, be sure to skip the drinking. It's easy for underage drinkers to drink too much, landing you in the hospital or worse. You could also get into serious legal trouble. It is easy for people to over-drink at house parties due to social anxiety. Be aware of this phenomenon, and drink with caution and at a slow pace. Drink plenty of water between consuming alcoholic beverages. Alcohol dehydrates the body, so you’ll need to keep your water levels high while drinking alcohol. Don't drink with the goal of feeling social and outgoing. You could potentially become very intoxicated. Bring a deck of cards with you just in case some people want to play a card game. A popular card game at parties is poker or “Circle of Death.” There are other games you can play at parties like hide n’ seek, four corners, or a board game like Twister. House parties are all about letting loose and having fun. Don’t feel embarrassed for trying to start a game. There will be at least one or two other people who think you have a good idea.

This can be expressed as the ratio of grams of water vapor to the number of kilograms of dry air. This is called the "actual mixing" ratio. This data can be obtained online as measured from instruments such as a microwave water radiometer. Measuring the water vapor in the air is not something that can be done with household items. This is the point at which the air would be saturated with moisture and is called the saturation mixing ratio. The amount of water vapor the air can hold is dependent upon the temperature of the air. Tables are available online that will tell you the capacity of water vapor at a specific temperature.  The higher the temperature, the higher the water vapor capacity. To determine how much water vapor the air can hold at a certain temperature, reference the table at https://brownell.co.uk/datasheets/basics_humidity.pdf. This simple calculation produces the relative humidity. Thus, if the air currently holds 20 grams of water per kilogram of dry air and can hold 40 grams of water per kilogram of dry air, the relative humidity would be 20/40, or 50 percent.

Leprosy is treatable with medication, and most patients can continue their lives normally if they are treated. The disease is only mildly contagious when it is untreated, and once you are taking the medication, you are no longer contagious to others. However, if leprosy is left untreated it can cause severe problems with the limbs (hands and feet), eyes, skin, and nerves. Hansen’s disease is moderately contagious when untreated. It can spread to others by air, such as when you sneeze or cough. Remember to cover your face when you cough or sneeze to prevent airborne droplets from spreading the disease to others until you can see a doctor and begin treatment. Sometimes leprosy manifests only as a skin lesions, and sometimes it takes more severe forms. The particular treatment plan you follow will depend on the form of leprosy you have. Your doctor can diagnose this.  Leprosy can be diagnosed as paucibacillary or multibacillary (which is more severe). A case of leprosy is also classified as either tuberculoid or lepromatous (more severe, causing large lumps and nodules on the skin). A number of antibiotics (usually a combination of dapsone, rifampicin and clofazimine) are prescribed to treat leprosy. These drugs kill the bacteria that causes the disease (Mycobacterium leprae) and cure people infected by it. Your doctor will prescribe medications to take based on your particular case of leprosy.  The World Health Organization (WHO) provides the MDT free to patients around the world through the Ministry of Health. In the United States medication for leprosy is provided by the National Hansen’s Disease Program. Once you start taking the medications, you can no longer spread the disease to others. You do not have to be quarantined. Daily and/or monthly doses of dapsone, rifampicin and clofazimine may be prescribed for 24 months in many cases of leprosy.  If leprosy only shows as a skin lesion, patients may be recommended to take the medication treatment for six months.  In the United States, multibacillary cases may be treated for one year and paucibacillary cases for two years. If leprosy only manifests as a single skin lesion, the patient may be able to treat it with just a single dose of dapsone, rifampicin and clofazimine.  Multibacillary cases may require multiple treatments to cure. Drug resistance to these medications is rare. Side effects of these drugs are generally mild. Talk to your physician if you have questions.
