You Must Learn This Simple Tick Removal Trick Before You Go Outside This Spring
Ticks are tiny, nasty, carriers of disease that can be found all over the place. They are most active in spring and summer months, but are resilient and may even be found in fall and winter, depending on where you live. They can spread numerous bacterial, viral, and toxic diseases other than the most commonly known ones such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Tularemia. A tick can harbor more than one disease and thus one bite can infect a person with multiple diseases.
The facts regarding ticks are scary and if you ever get bit by one you need to remove it as soon as possible. The quicker you can get it’s head out of your skin the better, because doing so greatly reduces the chance of infection. Most people remove them with tweezers, which can be effective, but oftentimes the tick’s body gets pulled off and the head/mouth remains attached. Instead, the next time you have a live tick biting you, try this quick and easy alternative technique to help remove it.
All you need is a cotton swab, water and good lighting. Take the cotton swab and quickly dip it in water to slightly moisten the tip, which will help make it glide smoothly along the skin. Place the cotton swab tip on the back of the tick so that it’s slightly angled, and not directly over it.
Push the tick around in circles so that it rotates around it’s axis, or hypostome which is it’s mouth part. After about 3-5 rotations the tick should release it’s bite and back itself out of the skin. Now you should be able to pick up the tick with the end of the cotton swab and can dispose of it properly.
The video explains that this method works by essentially coaxing the tick with cotton swab to let go of your skin. The sides of a tick’s mouth have a bunch of tiny, barb-like, bristles that project out and help to anchor it to the skin. These mouth-anchor attachments are what makes it so difficult to properly and completely remove a tick.
They anchor the tick’s head and mouth so securely that when you go to pull it off with tweezers you often end up separating the tick’s body from it’s mouth part. The tick’s mouth remains embedded and attached, still biting you, and is now even harder to remove. With this cotton swab method, the tick will back itself out of your skin and release it’s bite. There are no nasty body parts left behind and you don’t have to dig around in your skin with tweezers, which can increase the likelihood of infection.

She Puts Vodka On Some Cotten Swabs and Rubs It On Her Face. The Reason Is Brilliant!
Vodka is the number one, best selling and most consumed, hard alcohol beverage in the world. People favor the spirit because it mixes well in cocktails and is widely available at a number of price points. Not only is it versatile in all the ways that it can be mixed and consumed, it can also be used in a variety of ways that don’t require any drinking. At it’s most basic form, vodka is mainly water and ethanol, which is produced by fermentation and then distilled. The distillation process removes any impurities or dilutions and leaves the alcohol in the vodka pure and ideal for doing a number of things.
One alternative vodka use is that it can be applied to a soft cloth and rubbed on eye or sun glasses to clean them. Gently rub the lenses until the dirt, smudges, and grease is gone and you’re done. Vodka is also perfect for cleaning shaving razors and preventing them from rusting. Simply pour some vodka in a cup and soak the razor blade in it, this will also disinfect the blades.
An age old, yet not widely known, secret for keeping cut flowers looking fresh for longer is to mix in a dash of the spirit with water in the vase. Flower bouquets will appear healthy for much longer, so long as you keep changing the water and vodka every few days. Also, to keep your skin and face looking fresh try using some vodka as an astringent. Apply it with a cotton ball onto your face to help reduce pores and clean up any acne or zits.
Another health and beauty use for vodka is that it can make dull hair appear shinier. When you shampoo add a few drops of vodka in with it and then wash and rinse as usual. When your hair dries you should notice that it looks healthier and shiny. Finally, vodka foot soaks can kill any bacteria on stinky feet and leave them smelling how they should be. The alcohol in the spirit is strong enough to kill the bacteria that are causing the smell, and if you don’t have time to soak feet you can also rub them down with vodka to clean them.
The above uses are just a few of the many ways that vodka can be utilized around the house and in beauty routines. If you have a bottle collecting dust, or the next time you happen to have one laying around unused, try using it in a non-traditional manner. Or, fix yourself a cocktail, relax, and cheers!

This Duck Waits In The Car For His Little Human. The Duck’s Reaction When He Arrives Priceless!
Nibbles waits patiently in the the front seat of the family car. He is highly alert and on the lookout for the big yellow bus that drops off his best friend at the end of their long driveway. When the school bus comes rumbling down the street, and rolls to a stop in front of the car, Nibbles perks up and begins to get excited. Finally, he sees Jonny get off of the bus and walk towards him. The sight of his best friend causes Nibbles to instantly let out a series of the cutest, most happy, and delighted sounding quacks anyone’s ever heard.
Quacks? Yes, you read that right, Nibbles is a duck, not the conventional dog that you may have imagined. He is a Rouen breed duck, which is a domesticated type that sport beautiful emerald green colored heads with white collared necks. When he was young and not yet hatched his mother passed away. That was when the Toschi family adopted him and taught the young duckling how to wear ducky diapers. That way, he can do what he loves best, spending time indoors with his family and accompanying them on car rides.
Nibbles and 10 year old Jonny have since formed a mutual, close, and special bond with each other. That is clear to see when Jonny gets in the car and plants a series of sweet kisses on the top of his feathered friends head. It’s an adorable and heart warming moment that is sure to make you smile. Forget about a boy and his dog, this story belongs to a boy and his duck.

THIS Is The Actual Reason Why There Are Folds On A Baby’s Onesie. I Wish I Knew This Earlier.
There are many ups and downs to parenthood and changing a baby’s dirty diaper most definitely falls in the down category. The stinky, messy, gross task is inevitable and numerous daily changes are necessary if you want a clean comfortable baby and household. Sometimes a baby happens to make quite a disaster in their nappy that puts mom or dad in the delicate position of trying to figure out how to best get their clothes off without transferring the mess all over their little one. There is a way to properly remove a onesie without smearing poop on the child and this video on the YouTube channel Tiaras & Prozac shows how.
First off, anyone familiar with a onesie has probably pondered what those envelope fold-like things are on the shoulders of it. Most assume they are put there to make it easier to take it off over the baby’s head, but this is not the case. Instead, the folds are there so you can pull the onesie down off the baby and thus avoid making a big mess in the event of a diaper fail.
To perform the changing trick simply roll the top of the onesie down off the shoulders, gently getting one arm through and then the other. After that it should easily roll down and slide off the baby. This way is the best method of keeping a baby clean while changing and ensuring that the mess doesn’t spread all over the place.
Hopefully this “mom hack” will make life just a little easier and cut down on all the baths that result from diaper changing fails. It is really easy to do and will save you lots of time and energy, leaving you with more of the same to put towards being an awesome parent!

Baby Attempts To Eat His First Piece Of Solid Food. But The Bunny Has Other Plans And Does THIS
A mother decided to record her 5 month old baby’s first bite of solid food so she could cherish and relive the memory forever. She set up her camera, started rolling, and gave the young child a Ritz cracker to enjoy. The baby takes his time exploring the new food, smelling it and putting it near his mouth. Right beside him is a furry bunny named Oreo who is just as interested and curious about the food as the baby is.
As the child begins to put the cracker in his mouth the bunny swiftly snatches it out of his grasp and quickly hops away. The kid never even got a nibble on it! The rabbit seized the opportunity to steal his favorite snack, Ritz wheat crackers, and took full advantage of the situation for himself. The baby seems to be unsure about what just happened and confused about why he no longer has his cracker. It was all too new and fast for him to fully understand.
When the camera zooms in on Oreo in the background it captures him happily snacking away on his favorite treat. The next time mom tries to give her baby a cracker she better keep Oreo out of the area because he is just too sneaky and quick when it comes to snagging food!

It Looks Like A Regular Sculpture. But Once It Starts Spinning I’m Completely Hypnotized!
These 3D sculptures are not only works of art they are also optical illusions when they are spun under a strobe light. They were designed by Stanford University professor John Edmark who, with help from his students, create and print 3D sculptures based on mathematical equations. Specifically, they used the Fibonacci Sequence, a series of numbers where the next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 , 21…..).
The placement of the appendages on the sculpture is based off of that sequence and that is what gives it the seemingly perfect shape. This sequence is used in computer algorithms, searches, and graphs. It can also be found in nature and shows up in the pattern where branches grow on trees, as well as in pinecones and sunflowers.
When the sculpture is rotated at a certain speed and synchronized with the strobe light, so that every time the sculpture turn 137.5 degrees one flash occurs, it appears animated. The sculptures look like they are turning, spiraling, and metamorphosing into different shapes and things. If you were to count the number of spirals on any of the sculptures it would always end up being Fibonacci numbers.
While all the math, speed, and light calculations make this artwork all the more interesting, don’t worry if you still don’t quite understand it (you are not alone ). It is awesome to look at and blends science, math, and art perfectly. Check it out and prepare to be hypnotized.
