Q: Toward the end of your plant's first dormant season, check the previous year's growth. The vine should be about 30 inches (76.2 cm) tall.  If the vine is not yet tall enough, cut it down to three buds again and repeat your initial pruning routine. This step is necessary if you want your grapevine to have a sturdy enough trunk to last over a long lifespan. Do this in February or March, just before the plant exits dormancy but after heavy frosts are over. If the trunk of your vine has just reached past a height of 30 inches (76.2 cm), locate the first bud positioned above that height. Cut down the top of the vine to a point directly above this bud. When done, tie the shoot to the vine's support system near the top of the vine. If the shoot is longer than 30 inches (76.2 cm), you should tie the vine to your support system at the 30-inch (76.2-cm) mark and count four or five buds above it. Bend down the remaining length so that it reaches your tie, and tie that in place, as well. If the shoot has already started to put out side laterals, choose the two laterals closest to the 30-inch (76.2-cm) mark and tie them down to your supports. Prune these down to three, four, or five buds. Tie the main stem to the support and cut it off just above the side laterals. Monitor any new shoots that form throughout the summer. Cut off any shoots that sprout from the root area or lower trunk. Good shoots should be trained throughout the summer. Tie them to your support system.
A: Verify that the your trunk is sturdy. Trim down a healthy plant. Prune especially vigorous vines differently. Maintain new shoots throughout the summer.

Q: There are a few FDA-approved saliva test kits on the market. Make sure the label on the box says “FDA-approved” so you know the labs are testing with scientifically accurate information.  Use the OraQuick kit for an accurate HIV test.  MyLAB Box gives you the option of a blood test, urine test, or saliva swab. Make sure you don’t have any leftover food particles inside your mouth before you do your test. Don’t use toothpaste or mouthwash, or it could skew the results. If something other than saliva gets into the sample, it could come out inconclusive. Make sure to collect a lot of your saliva on the cotton swab for more accurate results. Swipe along the inside of your cheek and over your gums. Place the cotton swab into the sealed container that’s provided with the lab kit. Make sure your package is sealed securely and then send it back to the lab to wait for your results. You may get your results by email or in the mail, depending on the company. When you get your results, they will tell you whether you’ve tested positive or negative for the STDs you were checked for. If you have any questions, call the number provided on the kit or talk to your doctor.
A: Purchase an FDA-approved saliva test kit. Rinse out your mouth with water before you do the test. Swab the inside of your cheek with the provided cotton swab. Seal your sample and mail it back to the lab. Interpret your results based on the instructions in the kit.

Q: Superglue (will break of used on anything thicker than a single layer of construction paper) Spot Welding (Can last a very long time) Duct tape (can use only a few times on thin paper)
A: Obtain a rotary Pizza or Pastry cutter. Mark 5 degree increments along the outer edge with Permanent Marker. Place sewing pins in a radial pattern so that their points overlap the edge by approximately 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm). Attach the pins to the rotary cutter by one of the following methods: Roll your tool along the line to be perforated.

Q: Compensatory vision therapy focuses on stimulating the brain area involved in vision. It includes training with prisms, scanning, and visual field awareness systems. The movement of images from a non-seeing site to a seeing-site helps adapt the visual field and the associated brain area, improving vision. The goal of restorative vision therapy is to stimulate the various neural connections involved in vision within brain. It includes many specific components for each type of vision impairment that occurs after stroke. It focuses particularly on the point of the eye which has the highest amount of neuronal connections. This therapy has the highest level of recovery potential. Prisms are used to correct different types of visual problems. The kind of prism and their placement may vary, depending upon the presenting signs and symptoms. For example:  In the case of double vision, the prism is placed on a glass lens to realign the abnormal positioning of the eye's gaze. In the case of visual neglect, an individual with visual neglect on the left side of his visual field would use a prism that can mirror items on his left side, to the right side of his visual field. Low vision aids are designed to help the partially sighted population. They are divided into three categories, including optical aids (hand held magnifiers, stand magnifiers, telescopes), non optical aids (enlarged prints, high intensity lamps, high contrast objects, microfiche readers), and electronic low vision aids (closed circuit TV, opaque projectors, slide projection). All of these things can greatly help your vision. Some other aids are tactile visual aids, auditory vision, spelled speech, and direct stimulation of visual cortex. Surgery is usually not an option to solve post stroke related visual problems, since the cause is not a physical trauma to the eye. However, in some instances. surgery can be recommended to correct double vision. Eye muscle surgery is usually helpful for cases of double vision caused by the narrowing of the eyes.  The procedure can help in re-positioning of the eyes. The decision to undergo surgery should be done with an extensive assessment of the benefits and the possible risks.
A:
Check out compensatory vision therapy. Try restorative vision therapy. Look into the use of prisms. Invest in a low vision aid. Consider eye muscle surgery.
