Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Reduce your cat’s stress levels. Supplement your cat’s diet with oral lysine. Consider vaccinating your cat. Minimize your cat’s exposure to allergens. Look for signs of a flare-up.

Answer: Since viral conjunctivitis is not curable, it can recur after initial treatment. These flare-ups are often caused by stress. Therefore, you should identify and remove potential stressors in your cat’s environment. For example, keep your cat’s daily routine as steady as possible.  If you have multiple cats, make sure each cat has her own ‘supplies’ (e.g., food and water bowls, toys, litter box) to reduce bullying or fighting between cats. Your cat may also feel stressed if she becomes bored. Provide her with plenty of toys and rotate them on a regular basis. Puzzle toys are especially useful for keeping a cat busy and entertained. Herpesvirus requires an amino acid called arginine to replicate. However, when the amino acid lysine is present, the virus will take up lysine instead of arginine, which will stop the virus from replicating. Your veterinarian can recommend a specific oral lysine supplement for your cat. Lysine can be used as a lifelong management option for feline herpesvirus conjunctivitis. The severity of a herpesvirus conjunctivitis flare-up can be reduced with ocular (not injectable) vaccination. The vaccination works by strengthening the immune system and making the flare-up more bearable for your cat. Discuss this vaccination option with your veterinarian. If your cat’s allergies caused her conjunctivitis, then you should reduce her to exposure to the offending allergen as much as possible. For example, if she is allergic to dust, you will need to dust your home more frequently. If she is an outdoor cat, you may need to keep her indoors and away from outdoor allergens like pollen. If your cat's eyes became irritated when you used certain household cleaners, try keeping your cat away from the area where you are cleaning. If your cat’s eyes start to look swollen and red, and you see colored discharge (e.g., green, yellow) coming from her eyes, your cat is likely experiencing a conjunctivitis flare-up. Other signs of a flare-up include increased tear production, squinting, and sensitivity to bright light. When your cat experiences a flare-up, contact your veterinarian about the best way to manage it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean the tang on both sides to remove any oils or dirt. Scuff the tang on both sides to give the epoxy some texture to stick to. Prepare the epoxy glue according to the instructions. Glue the first scale to the the tang with the prepared epoxy. Insert the pins and glue the second scale. Insert the handle into the vise and clamp it shut. Wipe off any excess epoxy with a rag soaked in acetone. Allow the epoxy to set.

Answer: You can use window cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Simply wipe the tang down with your desired solution, and let it dry. Be careful not to handle the tang with your bare hands after this.  Rubbing alcohol will work the best, but you can use window cleaner too. You don't have to clean the wood scales. The wood is porous and textured, so it will take the epoxy readily. You can do this with a metal file or even a screw. You don't have to be precise for this step, but you should wipe the surface down once you are done.  If the scales are smooth on the marked sides, it would be a good idea to scuff them as well. You can also roughly sand the scales with 120-grit sandpaper. Make sure that you are only sanding the sides that will be touching the tang. Each brand of epoxy glue is different, but in most cases, you will need to mix equal amounts of "Part A" and "Part B" in a plastic, disposable cup. Work quickly. Most epoxy glues set within minutes.  Make sure that you are using epoxy glue, and not epoxy resin or coating. Mix the epoxy using a disposable tool, as it will ruin whatever you use to stir it. It would be a good idea to wear some plastic of vinyl gloves too. You can buy epoxy glue in hardware stores. Some craft stores may also sell epoxy glue. Use a disposable knife or paint spatula to spread an even layer of epoxy onto 1 side of the tang and the marked side of the matching scale with epoxy. Press the 2 together. Working quickly, flip the knife over so that you can see the other side of the tang. Insert the pins into the holes. Coat the tang and the marked side of the remaining scale, and press them together.  You may have to hammer the second scale into place to ensure a tight fit. If you want to, you can coat the pins with epoxy too. This will make the bond even stronger. Make sure that you are inserting the handle between the pieces of plastic wrap--this way, the excess epoxy won't get everywhere. Close the vise as tightly as possible. After squeezing the 2 halves together, all the excess epoxy will have leaked out. Dip a rag in acetone, and use it to wipe off any epoxy that has leaked out from between the 2 scales. How long this takes depends on the type of epoxy you are using. Some are set and ready to use within 1 hour. Others need up to 1 day to dry. Check the label on your package of epoxy for complete drying times and instructions.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use this shuffle to impress.

Answer: Riffle shuffling in your hands is a bit more difficult than using the table, and it's more likely that the people you play cards with won't know how to do it themselves. Once learned, you can quickly end with a flashy bridge finish for additional effect.  This method is not used in casinos, since other players can often see the cards during the shuffle. Like any riffle shuffle, this does bend the cards, and can wear them out faster than other shuffles.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a traditional capo for the first four frets. Use a sliding capo for the fifth string. Get railroad spikes installed past the fourth fret.

Answer:
You can purchase capos at music stores or online. There are three conventional capos that you can get for the first four frets of the banjo. These include the elastic, clamp, and screw capos. Compare the three different kinds of capos online and choose one that meets your needs and fits in your budget.  Elastic capos are often the cheapest but least exact kind of capo. Clamp capos use a spring to create tension. Screw capos allow you to adjust the tension of the capo and are the most popular for banjos. A Shubb sliding capo is made specifically for banjos and can slide up and down the neck past the fourth fret. Shubb capos should be professionally installed by a luthier or banjo professional because they have to be screwed into the neck of the banjo. Railroad spikes are placed in holes that are punched into the frets under the fifth string and can be used as a capo for your fifth string. Take your banjo to a luthier or professional that works on musical string instruments so they can install it for you. Typically railroad spikes are installed between the seventh and tenth frets.
