To do a warm compress all you need to do is: 1  Take a clean and soft cloth and dip it in hot water. 2  Ensure the water is not too hot but a little more than warm. 3  Rinse the cloth. 4  Hold this warm cloth gently over your childâs sty for about five to ten minutes, depending on how comfortable your child is. 5  Do this a few times a day.
Rule #2: When abbreviating academic degrees and professional designations, use a period between each letter or element in the abbreviation. No internal spaces are necessary.
1 Capitalize acronyms, and do not use periods. When acronyms become integrated into the language as common nouns (for example, laser, radar, or scuba), they are no longer capitalized.  When using an acronym the first time, spell the phrase out and follow it with the acronym in parentheses.
