INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Give your lips a break from time to time if you're the type that tends to wear lipsticks and stains on a regular basis. Cosmetics can affect the quality of your skin after a while, especially when they're not properly removed. Lip color is also bad about infiltrating the tiny cracks and crevices of your lips where it can be hard to get out later.  Going natural more often will make your lipstick appear more vibrant on occasions when you do wear it. If you're worried about your lips drying out, switch to a tinted lip balm or non-matte liquid lipstick. Get in the habit of applying chapstick or nourishing lip balm daily. Look for brands like Carmex, Burt's Bees and EOS that contain moisturizing agents. Not only do chapsticks and balms form a protective layer on your lips that safeguards them from dry conditions and prevent painful cracking and splitting, they'll also soften them, meaning your lipstick will look better once it's on.  Keep chapstick handy in your purse, car or bedside table so you'll never be caught without it. There's no such thing as too much chapstick. You'll be glad to have it if you wear lipstick a lot or live somewhere with cold, windy weather! Make sure you're drinking plenty of water throughout the day. When it comes to moisturizing, water is the obvious choice and should be your go-to nutrient not just for luscious lips but for healthy everything else. When you're sufficiently hydrated, your lips will appear thick, full and rosy, and will serve as a better base for your lipstick. Most physicians and nutritionists recommend that you drink 8-12 glasses of water a day.

SUMMARY: Let them breathe. Use chapstick or moisturizer. Stay hydrated.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A land survey can be expensive. You need an experienced surveyor to complete the work. Make sure you’re clear about the need for a survey.  A land survey is a certification of a piece of land’s exact location. The survey identifies the boundaries of the property. If you’re buying or selling property, you need a land survey. The survey identifies the exact boundaries of the property in the transaction. Generally a title report will show a preliminary plat map with the lot on it if it is contained within a subdivision. This will show the boundaries of the lot. If the property is not located within a subdivision there may or may not be a survey on record and a title search report may be able to show this or you can check with the county, but not every survey is recorded. It is a good idea to record any survey made for future reference in case the report is lost or damaged. A survey is also helpful if you’re building a fence near the edge of your property. If you’re involved in a property dispute with a neighbor, a survey can help you identify accurate property lines. Keep in mind that when an investor gets title insurance for a property, they are not protected if there are boundary disputes with a standard policy. The only way to be protected over property boundary disputes is to purchase an extended title insurance policy and get a land survey. A land survey is required to get extended coverage, but it is not required to get standard title insurance that does not protect against boundary issues and disputes. For example, a garage was partially built over the property line. Had a survey been completed, the location of the property line would have been known, but without a survey it is not always possible to know these things. The PLSS is a grid system used by land surveyors to provide an exact location of a piece of property. If you understand the grid system, you’ll know where your land is located.  The grid was created using two sets of lines. The principal meridian is a set of north and south lines. East and west lines are called baselines. Your property will have a specific location based on the number and position of these lines. The grid is segregated into squares that are 24 miles on each side. A square is then subdivided into townships. A township is 6 miles on each side. Once the grid is separated into townships, it can be further divided into sections that are one square mile. The square mile sections are divided into quarters. If needed, the grid system can use grids that are smaller than one quarter. Your survey will display information based on a scale. A survey’s legend is typically presented on the right hand side of the survey, or along the bottom of the document.  A map’s scale connects the distances listed on a map to their actual size. For example, your survey may state that every inch on the survey equals 20 yards. You need to understand this relationship to confirm the size of your property. A legend is a listing of the symbols on the survey and what they mean. For example, a small circle on the survey might refer to a manhole cover. The Bureau of Land Management has a standard set of symbols that are used on surveys. Your survey, however, may include additional symbols, or symbols that are defined differently.

SUMMARY: Decide if you need a land survey. Go over the components of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). Review your map’s scale and the legend provided.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The arteries are embalmed by simultaneously introducing embalming fluid (a mixture of formaldehyde, other chemicals, and water) into an artery while draining the blood from a nearby vein or from the heart. It takes about two gallons of fluid to embalm a typical body. On men, the incision is made near the base of the SCM muscle and the clavicle. For females or younger people, the femoral site is most popular. Clean the vein point off, create an entrance point, and insert the drain tube towards the heart. Tie a ligature around the lower side of the tube. Do the same for the artery except insert the cannula instead of a drain tube. Place the cannula forceps on the artery locking the cannula in place. Use the small locking forceps to clamp off the upper side of the artery and restrict the flow. While the embalming is taking place, wash the body with a good germicidal/antibacterial soap and be sure to check for drainage while massaging the limbs to push blood out and embalming solution in. When the fluid enters the arteries, pressure will build throughout the veins, which means the fluid is moving throughout the body. You'll notice the veins bulging somewhat. Open the jugular drain tube periodically to allow blood to escape and relieve the pressure. When you have about 20% of your solution left, turn off the machine and reverse your cannula to the other side of the artery you chose to inject. This will embalm the part that was blocked by the cannula previously. Be sure to turn down the pressure, as the fluid only has to go a short distance, and you don't want to "pop the eyes." In the case of the femoral, this will embalm the lower leg. In the case of the right common carotid, this will embalm the right side of the head. When you've embalmed to your satisfaction, or run out of fluid, turn off the machine, remove the cannula, and tie off the veins and arteries you used. Suture the incisions closed. Use sealing powder to ensure there is no leakage.

SUMMARY:
Choose your incision site. Make your incision. Turn on your embalming machine and distribute the fluid. Slowly decrease the pressure. Finish.
