INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll typically find this in the top-left corner of the remote's surface.  This method won't work on non-universal remotes. After wiping your remote's memory, you'll need to reprogram it to correspond to your different devices (e.g., the DVD player) since these connections will be reset as well. The LED light on your Vizio universal remote is at the top of the remote's surface. This is the reset code for most Vizio universal remotes.  If typing in 9 8 1 doesn't work, try 9 7 7. You can find the reset code for your remote in the remote's manual. Once it does, your Vizio universal remote has successfully had its memory wiped. Any firmware issues should be resolved after doing this.

SUMMARY: Press and hold the SET or SETUP button. Release SET when the LED light blinks twice. Type in 9 8 1. Wait for the LED to flash twice.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour 300 grams (11 oz) of potassium chlorate, 60 grams (2.1 oz) of aluminum files or shavings, and 2 grams (0.071 oz) of charcoal together in a bowl. Use a spoon to mix the powders together until they’re evenly distributed thoroughly.  Use a digital scale to weigh the proportions of each ingredient specifically. Break apart any clumps that form in the powder so the ingredients will mix thoroughly. You can purchase each of these ingredients from online chemical retailers or through retail websites like Amazon. Mix 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of dextrin with 9 teaspoons (44 ml) of water in a cup. Then pour a small amount of that into the powder mixture in the bowl and mix it together. Keep adding the water and dextrin to the mixture until it becomes like molasses.  The mixture should be like a thick liquid when you’re done mixing. You can purchase dextrin from online chemical retailers. Without any additional ingredients, the sparklers will burn white. If you’d prefer red sparklers, measure out 500 grams (18 oz) of strontium nitrate by weighing it on your digital scale and add it to the mix. Once you’ve got the correct amount, add it to the mixture. If adding the strontium nitrate makes the mixture too dry, add a small amount of water and dextrin to make it a slurry again. Instead of adding strontium nitrate for red sparklers, you can use barium nitrate to create green ones. Pour 60 grams (2.1 oz) of barium nitrate into the mixture after weighing it precisely with your scale, then mix it in thoroughly.  Be sure to mix the ingredients well so they are evenly distributed. Add more water and dextrin if the mixture gets too dry. You can use any stiff wire or wooden sticks to make the sparkler handles. Kabob skewers work particularly well. Dip each handle into the mixture and then pull it out slowly, so the top ⅔ of each stick is covered completely by the mixture. Leave the bottom third uncovered to serve as the handle.  10 inches (25 cm) is a good length for a stick, and is also the common length for kabob skewers. Make sure to leave at least  4 inches (10 cm) at the bottom for a handle. Leave the sticks in a safe, dry space that isn’t near any open flames or sparks. If you want, you can poke each stick or wire handle through a shoebox to hold them upright while they dry, but it isn’t required.  Laying the sparklers flat on their side while they dry will work as well. Do not touch the mixture until it’s completely dry or it may come off the handle. Hold the uncovered end of the stick or wire as the handle. Place the opposite end of the sparkler into an open flame and wait for the mixture to ignite.  Don’t use a lighter or match to light the sparkler or you may burn your hand. Candles work better. Keep the sparkler extended away from your body as it burns for safety.

SUMMARY: Mix potassium chlorate, aluminum files or shavings, and charcoal in a bowl. Add dextrin and water to the mixture until it becomes a moist slurry. Add strontium nitrate if you want red sparklers. Put in barium nitrate if you want green sparklers instead. Dip wires or sticks into the mixture leaving enough room for a handle. Wait 24 hours for the sparklers to dry. Expose the covered end to a flame to ignite the sparkler.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The key to understanding CHF is the word congestion. Congestion develops when the heart is unable to pump blood as quickly as it should.This may occur because the heart muscle is too weak or because blood vessels throughout the body are narrowed and constricted, causing the heart muscle to become exhausted.  Poorly functioning valves may cause the chamber to dilate from blood back-up, thinning the myocardium, decreasing pumping ability and increasing the workload. Normally, the ventricles of the heart contract (while the atria are relaxing) allowing for the filling and emptying of each chamber. If the muscle wall of the left ventricle cannot contract properly, some of the blood is left in the ventricles. Blood then backs up into the pulmonary vessels, the pressure within those vessels increases and fluid leaks into the lung tissue, producing congestion and eventually pulmonary edema (swelling) .If not corrected, the back-up of blood will soon lead to failure of the right side of the heart. This condition is called congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure is actually a complication of other cardiovascular conditions rather than a disease in itself. CHF is frequently caused by a defect in myocardial contractions resulting in myocardial failure. However, CHF may also be triggered by acute hypertensive crisis, rupture of an aortic valve cusp or a massive pulmonary embolism. There are a number of things that can be done to treat CHF - these usually involve correcting the underlying cause of the heart failure, such as hypertension or dysrhythmia.  Follow a strict low sodium diet and avoid drinking too much fluid. Get plenty of bed rest and gradually re-introduce slower-paced activity. Avoid emotional stress. Take prescription medications to treat CHF, such as diuretics, vasodilators, dobutamine and ACE inhibitors.

SUMMARY:
Understand what congestive heart failure means. Understand what causes congestive heart failure. Familiarize yourself with the treatment for CHF.
