Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Reduce scar irritation with a readily available silicone gel sheets at drugstores. Cover a scar with a light layer of bleaching cream. Apply sunscreen, with an SPF of 30 or higher, to prevent over-pigmentation.

Answer: It’s recommended that this method is to be used for at least three months, but the results are highly promising. Stick the sheet of the silicone gel on to a scar to increase hydration, and prevent bacteria from taking residence, further traumatizing the skin and deepening the scar. A scar forms because melanin (the chemical that gives your skin its natural pigment) is sent to “color up” the area where skin was lost through scabbing. This often results in dark splotches. Bleaching creams work to reduce the amount of melanin in a specific area. Overtime, the skin will lighten and no trace of the scar can be found. By having protection against UVA and UVB rays, the already sensitive skin around a scar won’t be irritated, and its appearance won’t be worsened.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove the floor plates with an Allen wrench. Place the poles into the ground. Adjust the volleyball poles to the required height. Attach the net rope to both poles. Tighten the winch to secure the net. Attach and tighten the net straps. Tie the ropes off to the end posts. Attach volleyball antennas to the net to spot fouls easier.

Answer: Most volleyball nets are secured to the ground through floor plates. Locate the holes in each floor plate, insert your Allen wrench, and twist the wrench until you pry the plate loose. You can buy an Allen wrench from most sports supply stores or online. Lift the pole up and insert it into the hole, holding it upright as you do so. As you lower the pole into the ground, it should click into place and stay upright without holding it.  Repeat this process with both poles. If the pole does not secure into the ground, the hole may be dirty or blocked. Remove the post and check for obstructions, removing any dust or debris as needed. Twist the volleyball poles at the bottom of the feet to raise or lower its height. If you need to make the poles higher than they can naturally go or your poles don't have adjustable feet, insert volleyball pole spacers at the bottom. The regulated net height for the following volleyball teams are:  Co-ed, standing disabled, or men's volleyball: 7 ft 11 inches (2.41 meters). Women's volleyball: 7 ft 4 inches (2.23 meters) Sitting or wheelchair volleyball: 4 ft 11 inches (1.5 meters) Senior volleyball: 7 ft 2 inches (2.1 meters) Children's volleyball: 6 ft 6 inches (1.98 meters) -7 ft 4 inches (2.23 meters) Locate the post hook on the lower half of each volleyball pole. Tie each side of the net rope to the post hook in a knot and thread the rope through the winch leader strap, a strap with a metal connector that hangs on the volleyball pole's side. Grab the winch, the handle jutting out of the pole's side, and turn it until the center of the net reaches the desired height. The center height should be match the regulation requirement for men's, women's, co-ed, or other volleyball groups. If you cannot reach the desired net height, try tightening the winch further or adjusting the pole height again. The volleyball net should have 2 additional net straps: 1 in the middle and 1 on the bottom. Grab the net straps and secure them to the hooks on each pole until the straps are horizontal and parallel to the ground. If you notice any excess rope from the net straps or net rope, loop it over the ropes and tie it in place. This will prevent tripping and injuries caused by the ropes while you play volleyball. Hold the ropes in place with loose knots to make removing the ropes simpler later on. Volleyball antennas mark the out-of-bound lines and help observers call fouls. Position the volleyball antenna over the net's top and secure it in place with a clip or other object, depending on the manufacturer. Although not necessary to play, volleyball antennas can keep the game fair.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sit down and remain calm for a few minutes. Use your fingers to find your pulse. Push your fingers against the artery until you feel a strong pulsation. Count each beat or pulsation to find your rate per minute.

Answer: Your heart rate fluctuates based on your activity. Even standing can elevate heart rate. So before you measure your heart rate, you need to allow yourself to “relax.”  A good way to find out your resting heart rate is to measure it immediately after waking up in the morning. Do not measure your heart rate after exercise as it can remain elevated and you won’t be able to get an accurate reading. Also, being stressed, anxious or upset can elevate your heart rate. Do not measure your heart rate after drinking caffeine or in a hot, humid environment as these might temporarily increase your heart rate. Use the tips of your middle and ring fingers to press down on (or palpate) the radial pulse on the inside of your wrist or on the side of your neck (your carotid artery). It might take you a moment to feel the pulsation and you might need to move your fingers around to find it. Count the number of beats in 30 seconds and multiply by two or in 10 seconds and multiply by six to get your heart rate per minute.  For example, if you counted 32 beats in 30 seconds, multiply that by two to get your resting heart rate of 64. Or, if you counted 10 beats in 10 seconds, multiply 10 by six to get a resting heart rate of 60. If your rhythm is irregular, count for a full minute. As you begin counting, start the first pulse felt as zero and the second pulse as one. Repeat the measure a few times to get a more accurate reading.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give your bird a shower or bath at least once a week, if they'll allow it. Trim the bird's claws every 3-6 months. Take your bird to the vet for beak trimming once a year.

Answer:
Many Cockatoos love the water, and they will dive right into a bowl of lukewarm bowl of water if you provide it.  The bowl should be very shallow, as they cannot swim and can drown in only inches of water.  They'll also love showers, which you can provide with a shower head or a watering can. Just start sprinkling it on your bird, and you will see it light up with excitement.  If your bird does not enjoy showers or water in general, do not fret it.  Forcing it upon them will cause unhealthy stress reactions.  Not showering will create more dander, but will not harm the bird.    When showering your bird, make sure the shower stream isn't too strong. It's best to bathe or shower your bird out of its cage, so you don't get water all over the cage. To trim your bird's nails, first you'll need to get a powdered clotting agent and guillotine-type trimmer for cats or small dogs. Have a helper hold the bird with a towel over its head, grasping the bird's body gently but firmly in 2 hands. Examine the bird's feet and look for the quick, the small pink vein running through it. Clip off the end of the nail, avoiding the quick.  If you hit the quick and your bird starts to bleed, put the clotting powder on it. You can find the powder at most drug stores and pet stores.  You can also use corn starch. If you are worried about cutting too deeply you can also use a small Dremel tool such is used for cats and dogs, which uses a rotating disk of sandpaper.  Use in short bursts to avoid the nail becoming too hot and burning the bird's toe. Trimming keeps your bird healthy and also keeps you from getting accidentally scratched.  Your veterinarian can do this for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it. You shouldn't try to trim a bird's beak by yourself. You can cut it into the wrong shape or get severely bitten. Plus, your vet will know if it needs trimming or not, and sometimes, a long beak can indicate a health condition. Find a veterinarian who specializes in birds.
