Problem: Article: A watch winder is a device that keeps automatic watches wound when they are not being worn by moving the watch in a circular pattern to mimic the movement of a human’s arm. These can range in price from $50 to $400, with top-of-the-line models costing up to $8,000. There are functional, elegant and extravagant models of watch winders.  Functional watch winders may be display-friendly, with nice designs; but their purpose is almost entirely functional. These are usually on the less expensive end of the scale. Cheap watch winders can be very unreliable and are not worth the price, even if it’s low. Elegant watch winders have finer quality exteriors made of wood or leather, and they are more usually display-friendly, ready to sit on a shelf or dresser. They can still be small enough to fit in a drawer or safety deposit box. Extravagant watch winders are at the top of the price range. These are usually constructed out of fine materials and made to hold multiple watches. They may have features such as temperature control, storage drawers, synchronized time displays, and USB connections. There are winders for single watches or for multiple watches. If you have a rotation of watches that you wear frequently, you may opt to get a watch winder that can hold several watches at once. If you have just one watch that you wear frequently, a single watch winder might be more useful.  If you have watches you wear only once in a while, such as for a special occasion, then you don’t really need to bother putting it in a watch winder. If you know you will be wearing a watch to a wedding, for example, you can take it out the day before and wind it on your own, rather than going to the trouble of setting it in the watch winder for 30 minutes every day. Watch winders are good for collectors of automatic watches, especially if you have a large collection and want any one of your watches to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. Many automatic watches rely on clockwise motion, while others rely on counter-clockwise or bi-directional movement. Check with your watch’s manufacturer to figure out which motion your watch needs.
Summary: Choose which kind of watch winder you need. Choose how many watches you want to wind at a time. Determine the direction of the watch winder rotation.

Problem: Article: Use graph paper to design the shape of your blade. Try to keep it as close to actual size as possible to ease construction. Get creative with your blade design, but keep functionality and practicality in mind. The length of the blade is largely a personal preference, though large blades can be unwieldy and require lots of steel. The tang is the piece of the blade that attaches to the handle. The easiest method is known as the “full tang.” The tang will be the same thickness as the knife, and the handle is formed by attaching a piece of wood to each side with rivets.
Summary: Draw the blade. Decide on blade length. Design the tang.

Problem: Article: Instead of using a stove, you can use a kettle. This technique tends to create a greater quantity of steam that is hotter. It also avoids the possibility of scorching the edges of your envelope if you have a gas stove. Don’t hold it too close and try to get an even distribution of steam across the seal. You can place a spoon into the spout of the kettle to try to have control over the direction of the exiting steam. If it looks like it is getting too wet, move it away and be patient, you don’t want to have wrinkles give the game away. As the steam from a kettle is more intense, it might be a good idea to wear an oven glove or something similar to protect the hand holding the envelope. Wait for a few seconds after removing it from the steam and then, in much the same way as with the stove method, gently slide a flat blade under the seal to open and release it. Be very careful not to tear it, and if it doesn’t come easily give it a little more time in the steam and try again.
Summary: Put the kettle on to boil with plenty of water. Hold the envelope a little away from the spout. Ease open the envelope.

Problem: Article: Doctors prescribe antibiotics to help control diarrhea brought on by cholera. These antibiotics won’t necessarily kill the bacteria responsible for cholera, but they will shorten your symptoms. Talk to your doctor before to get these prescriptions. Typical medications that are prescribed are:  Doxycycline only requires a single pill. It is not recommended for children or pregnant women due to possible effects on tooth development, but should still be used if it is the only option.  Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, known as TMP-SMX, Bactrim, or Septra, is recommended for children. Tetracycline, like doxycycline, is not recommended for children if other options are available.  Furazolidone is recommended for pregnant women. In order to combat diarrhea, take zinc supplements. Studies show that zinc supplements can help control diarrhea problems because zinc makes the lining in your stomach and intestines less vulnerable to irritation, even when you have cholera. It is recommended that you take:  50 to 300 mg per day if you are an adult 20 mg a day for 10 to 14 days for children six months or older 10 mg a day for 10 to 14 days for children younger than six months Despite feeling weak and awful, it is really important that you continue to keep up your hygiene practices. You don't get sicker or spread the cholera to others. Wash your hands whenever you go to the bathroom or deal with dirty diapers. To prevent further water contamination, make sure you dispose of your and others human waste properly, even if you do not have a proper toilet.
Summary:
Take antibiotics. Use zinc supplements. Practice proper hygiene while sick.
