INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Determining whether the property owner is at fault for your slip and fall is an individual determination that will not rest on the same evidence in every case. Generally, the court will look at:  Whether the property owner acted carefully so that slipping or tripping was not likely to happen Whether you caused your own fall by not seeing the condition or hazard that caused the fall when you should have seen it. Whether the property owner knew about the “dangerous condition” that caused your slip and fall either by causing it or negligently failing to fix it Whether the “dangerous condition” existed for a length of time where the property owner had reasonable time to fix it If you fall at a business, you must prove that the owner of the property or an employee of the business caused the unsafe condition, did nothing about it despite knowledge of the condition, or should have reasonably known of the dangerous surface.   Proving that the owner or employee “should have known” about the dangerous condition is difficult because the judge or jury deciding your case will decide. The question that the judge or jury will ask is whether or not a reasonable (average or normal) person would have discovered the dangerous condition fixed it upon discovery. If you slipped or fell at a residence, the landlord or owner may be held liable if you show that the person had control over the dangerous condition, repairing the dangerous condition would not have been unreasonably expensive or difficult, that a serious injury was the foreseeable consequence of the condition, and that the owner or landlord's failure to take reasonable steps to avoid an accident caused your slip and fall injury. If you believe that the owner of the premises where you fell caused your injury, write down what happened right after the accident while it’s still fresh in your mind. This information should include any visible defects in the surface where you fell, whether warning signs were present, and any contributing weather conditions. Visible defects important to note include:  Torn carpeting Changes in flooring levels Poor lighting Poorly maintained railings on stairs Cracked or broken sidewalks Narrow stairs Wet or icy flooring If you do not have evidence about the shoes and clothes that you were wearing, the owner of the property could attempt to place the blame for your fall on you. Keep the clothing and shoes aside. Do not wear them until after you have settled your case if possible. If a representative of the business offered to pay medical expenses or even admitted fault by way of apology, you can use this information in your case. While such admissions cannot always be used at trial, your attorney may use statements indicating fault at a settlement negotiation.

SUMMARY: Understand the burden of proof. Note whether the accident happened on commercial or residential property. Note the circumstances surrounding the accident. Document the shoes and clothing worn at the time. Write down the reaction of the owner/employees when you fell.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are experiencing lightheadedness, dizziness, confusion, or altered vital signs (such as a fast heart rate and an increased respiratory rate), you may have a more severe form of dehydration that warrants professional medical attention. The most common causes of severe dehydration are heat stroke (from spending too much time in the sun), extreme endurance sports, and illnesses that involve diarrhea and/or vomiting. If you believe you may have any of these medical conditions, or if you are worried that you may have severe dehydration, it is best to see a doctor sooner rather than later for treatment. IV (intravenous) fluids are the fastest and most efficient way to replace fluids if you are suffering from severe dehydration. This is because the fluid is injected straight into your vein, rather than having to go the long route of being absorbed by your digestive system. IV fluids are also tailored to your specific needs with the perfect balance of fluid, salt, and calories to optimize your body's hydration and overall health. If you have an illness such as diarrhea and/or vomiting, you may not be able to consume fluids orally (due to nausea and/or vomiting, or diarrhea which prevents absorption); therefore, IV fluids may be your only option in severe cases. It is important to understand that severe cases of dehydration require not only fluids for treatment, but also diagnosing and resolving the underlying cause of the dehydration — a job best accomplished by an experienced physician. If you try to rehydrate yourself without first identifying the cause of the problem, it is unlikely to lead to a long-term or permanent solution; therefore, if in doubt it is best to see a doctor who can guide you through the steps to getting properly hydrated and in good health once again.  The specific diagnosis underlying dehydration also affects the treatment course, in many cases. This is another reason why identifying the underlying cause is key. If you suffer from a chronic disease such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, an endocrine disorder, or hyponatremia it can be dangerous for you to make changes to your daily fluid intake. Speak with your physician about what is appropriate for you, and keep in mind that the recommendations for the general population will not necessarily apply.
Summary: Recognize signs of severe dehydration. Get IV fluids. Get a diagnosis for the underlying cause of your dehydration.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Diluted dishwasher detergent can help neutralize bleach stains on fabric, upholstery, and carpet. Different materials will require different water temperatures in order to be effective.  For fabric and upholstery, mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of liquid dishwasher detergent with 2 cups (470 mL) of cool water.  For carpet, mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of liquid dishwasher detergent with 2 cups (470 mL) of warm water. Warm water is typically preferred over cold water to treat or clean carpets as it is more effective in lifting dirt and liquid residues from the carpet fibers. Most professional carpet cleaners only use warm water to clean carpets. Work from the outside of the stain towards the center. You will have a better chance of reversing the less saturated areas away from the central point, so focus on the edges first. If you do not have a white cloth, use a colored cloth or cotton balls instead. Since you are lifting the bleach stain, it may stain whatever cloth you choose to use. You want to give the dishwasher detergent solution a chance to lift up the bleach stain. Just make sure the area is saturated with the solution before letting it soak. This will help remove any of the bleach residue that was lifted by the diluted dishwasher detergent. Continue to blot the area until it is dry, or until no more of the bleach is lifting from the treated area. Blot at the stain with more solution and rinse it with more clean water until the stain is less noticeable, or until you are satisfied with the results. The treated area of the carpet might be stiff or a bit matted once you are done cleaning it. Leave the carpet to dry overnight, and then run a vacuum over the carpet in the morning. To speed up the drying process, press paper towels into the carpet to absorb any excess liquid.

SUMMARY:
Mix liquid dishwasher detergent with water to treat the bleach stains. Dip a clean, white cloth into the solution, and blot at the bleach stain. Let the solution soak for 5 minutes. Use a clean cloth to blot the treated area with cold water. Vacuum the treated carpet once it is dry to restore the natural texture.
