Cuts and scrapes may become infected when bacteria enter the wound, resulting in a skin infection. This causes changes in the texture of the skin and turns the surrounding skin red or white. Fungal infections, such as ringworm and tinea versicolor, can also trigger discolored skin patches on various parts of the body.
A plough (UK) or plow (US; both /ËplaÊ/) is a tool (or machine) used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting to loosen or turn the soil.
Sifting is a process that breaks up any lumps in the flour and aerates it at the same time by pushing it through a gadget that is essentially a cup with a fine strainer at one end. Sifted flour, which is much lighter than unsifted flour, is easier to mix into other ingredients when forming a cake batter or making dough. When flour is sifted with other dry ingredients, such as cocoa powder, this helps to combine them evenly before they are mixed with other ingredients.
