Problem: Article: Point a flat-headed chisel directly at the mortar around the loosened brick. Lay the flat side of the chisel firmly on the brick and strike at the edge of the mortar connecting it to the brick, as though you are trying to slide a spatula under a pancake. Work around the brick, breaking apart the mortar one side at a time. Be careful not to strike the brick and damage it. Pick up a 4 in (10 cm) angle grinder at the home improvement store. Start with the vertical joints. Position the grinding disc to cut 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) into the mortar. Repeat this with the horizontal joints to free the brick.  Make sure that you choose a masonry-specific grinding disc. Be very careful when using the angle grinder. It's easy to slip and cut into the brick. Before using the grinder on bricks you plan to use, it's best to practice on an old brick or a cheap practice brick. Clear out the wall space with a mortar whisk broom or another stiff-bristle brush. If you have an air compressor, it'll also help clear out any remaining dust. Remember to wear your protective eye wear and face mask, especially if you use an air compressor. You should also watch where the debris goes so that you don't hurt yourself or others. Set the brick down on a flat surface. Hold the chisel at an angle above it. Hammer the chisel quickly and lightly while moving the tip over the mortar. If the brick needs to be replaced, bring the old brick to the store. Try to match the size and color. Clear off the debris with a wire brush or air compressor. Finish cleaning the brick by spraying it with water. Keep the brick and wall hole damp with a hose or misting bottle so the mortar sticks and cures better.
Summary: Chip away the old mortar with a hammer and chisel. Cut into stubborn mortar with an angle grinder. Brush away the debris with a whisk broom. Chisel the old mortar off the brick. Brush and rinse off the brick.

Problem: Article: To further assist you in determining the sex of fruit flies, it's helpful to know how they behave in general. For example, it is useful to note their mating habits so you can identify a male fruit fly by the way he behaves in a mating scenario. Female fruit flies choose a mate within 15 minutes. They decide based on the way the male dances and brushes against the female’s body. When one fly is still while the other hops around like it is dancing, this may be a mating ritual. The male is the one moving. If you're studying fruit flies in a controlled environment in order to study gender differences, it's good to know how long they will live. Fruit flies only live for 1/3 of a year, or about four months. They are very sensitive to temperature. They can start reproducing within a week of being born, producing hundreds of eggs at one time. You can find fruit flies buzzing with a “buzz” sound around rotting fruit. They tend to lay their eggs in fruit that has just become ripe so that by the time the larvae hatch, the fruit is rotten enough to produce the juices the flies need to survive.  Their mouths are shaped for sucking up liquids, making rotten fruit the perfect nest. You may find more females around such fruit since they are the ones interested in laying eggs.
Summary: Note how females choose mates. Be aware of their lifespan. Notice where they like to live.

Problem: Article: Slowly support your teen in developing their independence as they mature. For example, let your younger teen choose how to decorate their room and style their hair. Older teens may be able to use the car, attend activities without an adult, or hold a part-time job. A controlling parent may face increased conflict with a teen who seeks independence. Ask your teen what independence they’d like and come to some compromises. Teens are often concerned with social relationships, fitting in with peers, and making social decisions such as whether to use drugs or engage in sexual activity.  They will likely want to spend more time with friends than with their family. While it’s important for them to be a part of the family, make sure that you respect their need to engage in friendships, be with friends, and create their social identity.  Allow your teen to join clubs or groups or do other social activities (such as go to the skate park, join sports teams, or hang out with friends). Ask your teenager about their friends, and try to learn their names. Before they hang out, meet their friends in person if you can. Teens want increasing independence and this includes needs for privacy, too. It might feel like your teen is tuning you out or ignoring you, but they are likely wanting some space to be alone (or with friends). Respect their desire for privacy and consider giving them increased privacy as they get older. If your teen isn’t forthright in talking to you or wants to spend less time with you, don’t take it personally and instead, see it is a developmental stage. You do, however, get the final say in their activities and should look out for their safety. It’s natural for teens to fall asleep later (after 11 p.m.) and sleep in the next morning. Be mindful of these sleep patterns, but also encourage them to get adequate sleep. Not getting enough sleep can affect their moods, memory, and concentration.  If your teen struggles to get restful sleep, remove electronic devices from their bedrooms (cell phones, televisions, tablets, etc) so that the light does not stimulate them instead of relaxing them.  A consistent bedtime can also help with getting more restful sleep. No matter how many warnings you give, teens often prefer to learn experientially. Some teens may need to fail or make mistakes in order to learn from them and be responsible. As a parent, it’s difficult to watch your child fail. Let them know that you support them, love them, and you will be there for them, no matter the outcome. Be there to comfort your teen when they are disappointed, even if you want to say, “I told you so.”
Summary:
Allow them levels of independence. Accept their social needs. Respect their privacy. Recognize their sleep habits. Let them make their own mistakes.
