Q: Several palm tree varieties are considered valuable, and you can make money by uprooting them instead of destroying them. Some companies will remove the tree, buy it from you, and then relocate it. You will need to take a picture of your palm so you can figure out what type it is.  Palm trees differ by their leaves, their trunk shape, their height, and other features. Make sure these are visible in your photo. The Mexican Fan Palm and Queen Palm are the most common varieties, so they are not considered valuable. A couple of palm trees, such as the Chilean Wine Palm or the Kentia Palm, may be valuable. Search online for a picture guide of palm tree varieties. Compare your photo to the pictures to figure out what kind of palm tree you have. Then, you can make a decision on how to remove the tree.  Try a palm tree guide such as http://www.palmidentifier.com/. If you are unsure, palm tree nurseries or removal companies may be able to help you identify your tree. Removal services need plenty of space to work. Clear the area of any vehicles, furniture, and debris. Also, look for any nearby power lines the tree may fall on during removal. If your palm tree is in a small area, such as in an enclosed yard, the palm may cost too much to remove, so relocation services may decide against buying it.  Removing a palm near buildings or power lines can be dangerous, so you should hire a professional tree removal service. Trees in tight spaces are hard to remove safely, so removal companies will charge you more. Your local government may have laws against removing tall trees. This is for safety reasons, since dealing with a large tree can be dangerous for yourself or others. If your tree is very tall, consult a professional removal service.  For example, in California, you may not be permitted to cut palm trees over 12 ft (3.7 m) on your own. Tall trees often require more workers and tools to cut, so removal companies may charge you more. Once you have decided what to do with your palm tree, find a company willing to remove it. Discuss your options with removal companies in your area. Before choosing a company, always search for the company’s name online to gauge their credentials first. Read reviews from other customers.  For a palm you plan on selling, contact a tree relocation service or nursery to dig up the tree without destroying it. If you plan on cutting down the tree, call a professional removal service.
A: Take a picture of your palm tree. Research your palm tree online to find its species. Make sure the palm tree is in an accessible location. Consult your local laws about removing tall trees. Contact a reputable tree removal service.

Q: Try to remove as much of the urine as possible. This will ultimately make your job easier. Use clean paper towels and apply pressure. Repeat with new paper towels until you are unable to soak up any more urine.  Skip this step if the urine has already dried. You can also use old throw-away towels instead of paper ones. The thickness of regular towels allows for better absorption, soaking up more cat urine. If available, use a white towel. Once there's no longer a yellow-tint to the liquid being absorbed, you'll know all the urine has been absorbed. Enzymatic cleaners, like Nature's Miracle, contain special biological enzymes that break down the proteins in urine, reducing or even completely eliminating the smell. Note that some enzymatic cleaners may not work if other chemicals were used beforehand to try to treat the stain. It is generally a good idea to try the enzymatic cleaner first and saturate the area well. Follow the manufacturer’s directions closely and allow it to dry for several days. You may not have to do anything else. If an enzyme cleaner didn't completely remove the smell, use a vinegar solution. Combine equal parts of white vinegar and water in a bowl or spray bottle. Saturate or spray the soiled area. Saturate a little bit beyond the soiled area so you can be sure to remove all urine. If you have a black light or UV light at your disposal, you can see the urine glow in the dark and find the exact location of the urine spot. Use a bristle brush and thoroughly rub the vinegar/water mixture until the area is completely soaked. The vinegar will neutralize the ammonia smell in your cat's urine. Again, use paper towels or a clean rag to blot up as much vinegar solution as possible. Let the area air dry completely after you've blotted it. Wash the soiled area with a household cleaner that does not contain ammonia. Ammonia smells like urine to dogs and cats. Wipe the area clean with water. In a spray bottle, mix 10 parts water to 1 part bleach.  Put on rubber gloves and spray the soiled area. Let the bleach sit for 30 seconds, then clean the soiled area with a damp cloth. Be careful with the bleach as it may damage and change the color of some materials. If any clothing has urine, add 1 cup (60 ml) of apple cider vinegar to the laundry detergent in your regular wash. If you still smell urine, add some enzymatic cleaner to your wash. Dry cleaning may be necessary. If you can't get the smell or stain out of an item, you may just have to throw it out.
A: Blot the urine on your carpet with paper towels. Use an enzymatic cleaner. Mix up a vinegar solution. Scrub the vinegar solution into the soiled area. Dry the area thoroughly. Disinfect hard surfaces. Check clothing for urine.

Q: Rubbing alcohol is a common ingredient in most commercial hand sanitizers. Hand sanitizer is used to disinfect the hands, and does not require soap or water. Simply rubbing hand sanitizer on the hands for approximately 30 seconds, or until the liquid has evaporated, kills the majority of bacteria present. Hand sanitizer often includes additional components, such as a moisturizing element to prevent the hands from drying out, but these components are not necessary. If you are unable to wash your hands with soap and water, or if you want to ensure that your hands are completely clean, rubbing alcohol may be used to disinfect the hands.  Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol into the palm of one hand. Rub the hands together vigorously for approximately 30 seconds, or until the hands are completely covered and the alcohol begins to evaporate.  Note that rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer do not remove dirt from the hands. If your hands are visibly soiled, you may need to wash your hands with soap and water to remove the dirt from your skin. One of the most common uses of rubbing alcohol is treating wounds. This is because rubbing alcohol makes an excellent antiseptic. It kills germs by coagulating each germ's protein. Once a germ's protein is solidified, the germ dies rather quickly. Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the skin surrounding a wound. This may be particularly helpful for puncture wounds, which can introduce foreign germs into the wound. Once the wound is clean, you can bandage the wound, and seek medical attention as needed. Certain medications, like insulin, need to be injected into the body. Prior to administering an injection, it's important to disinfect the skin to prevent bacteria from being introduced into the body.  Pour 60% to 70% rubbing alcohol onto a clean cotton swab.  Thoroughly wipe the skin where the injection will be administered. Do not go over the same area twice.  Wait for the alcohol to completely dry before administering the injection. Some household medical tools, like tweezers, can harbor bacteria that could be introduced to a wound. For this reason, it's important to disinfect medical tools before use. You can do this with rubbing alcohol. Thoroughly douse the tips of tweezers in rubbing alcohol. Allow the alcohol to dry before use, to ensure that any bacteria on the tweezers have been killed.
A: Clean your hands with rubbing alcohol. Treat wounds with rubbing alcohol. Disinfect skin before an injection. Disinfect medical tools.

Q: It's more respectful to the others to lie in the same direction, and not put your feet in their face.    Continue to lie in shava asana (savasana; dead man's pose) so that your body can come back to homeostasis and receive all of the benefits of your hard work. Two minutes at very minimum is best. Ten minutes is wonderful for relaxation.
A:
Place your towel over your mat and lie down on your back with your head facing the mirrors and feet towards the back wall, just like the position practiced during class. Allow yourself to adjust to the heat. During the class, pay close attention to what the instructor says and watch the other students for an example. When class is finished, it is courteous to say the Indian word "Namaste" to your instructor as a way of saying thank you (the word means, very generally, "I recognize the divine in you"). When the class is over don't leave right away.
