Q: Studies have found that the curcumin in turmeric, a spice often used in curry, has anti-inflammatory properties.  While more research is needed, one study found that patients who consumed foods containing turmeric reduced their symptoms and their need for other medications.  Many curries containing turmeric can be quite spicy; use care to avoid irritating the lining of your colon. People with gallbladder disease, gastrointestinal reflux, hormone-related cancers, or those on blood-thinning medication should not consume turmeric. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may reduce UC symptoms and flare-ups.  Some studies indicate that fish oil in combination with medications such as sulfasalazine can be effective.  Note that study results are mixed, and that sometimes fish oil may actually cause diarrhea. Refrain from taking fish oil if you are currently on blood-thinning medication. Our intestines contain good bacteria that keep bad bacteria from causing problems.  Frequent diarrhea reduces the population of good bacteria.  Foods such as yogurt contain “live cultures,” or probiotics – good bacteria – that can repopulate your intestines, reducing UC symptoms. Many people who have UC also have low levels of folic acid in their bodies.  Common UC medications can exacerbate this problem.  Consuming adequate folic acid helps counter UC patients’ increased risk of developing colon cancer. Note that folic acid can camouflage a vitamin B12 deficiency.  Consult your doctor about a dietary regimen that will allow you to consume adequate quantities of both nutrients. Some research suggests supplements or enemas containing this substance can improve the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.  More studies are needed to determine whether glucosamine is useful in treating UC. As with many treatments, N-acetyl glucosamine can negatively interact with blood-thinning medications. UC patients have found relief using a variety of herbal treatments.  Consult a trained health care provider to determine which varieties would be best for your system.   Note that many of these herbs interact with other medications.  Psyllium seeds may help lengthen periods of remission when taken in combination with other medication.  This insoluble fiber may exacerbate symptoms during flare-ups, so be sure to talk with your doctor before taking it.  Some UC patients may do better with soluble fiber such as flax seed or oat bran. Boswellia has anti-inflammatory properties, and some studies indicate it can work about as well as the prescription medication sulfasalazine. Slippery elm is a demulcent, which means it can protect irritated tissues and promote their healing, but should never be taken by pregnant women. Marshmallow is also a demulcent.  Avoid marshmallow if you are diabetic or take other medications, including lithium. Chamomile is often brewed as a tea to soothe the digestive tract.  Avoid chamomile if you have a ragweed allergy.  This herb can also have estrogenic properties, so use caution if you have any history of hormone-related disease. Some studies have shown acupuncture can produce relief from UC symptoms.  Acupuncture also works as a stress reliever, magnifying its useful qualities for UC patients.
A: Consume more turmeric. Increase your intake of fish oil. Add probiotics to your diet. Take a folic acid supplement. Consider N-acetyl glucosamine supplements. Pursue herbal treatments. Consider acupuncture.

Article: Just like the Xbox 360 Slim, Xbox One can easily access the Internet wirelessly in an instant! It has a built in Wi-Fi 802.11n Wi-Fi Direct that allows it to connect to your router automatically. The first time you turn on your console, it will not yet automatically connect to the Internet since it hasn’t memorized your router’s access name and codes yet. In the Network menu, Xbox One will display all the Wi-Fi hotspots within its signal’s reach. Once the Xbox One detects your router in the Network, select it and you will be able to access the Internet. You may have to enter your router’s password first, depending on your router’s security settings. Xbox One will now remember this wireless setup and use it automatically on your following sessions.  If you have an Ethernet cable connected to your console, it will automatically go into “wired” Internet connection mode. If you want to stay connected wirelessly just disconnect the Ethernet cable from your unit. You may need to adjust your console’s wireless configuration setting if your console fails to connect to the Internet. When in doubt, set everything to automatic or simply reset to default.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Access Wi-Fi. Turn your console on. Choose your signal.

Q: Look in the adhesive or bathroom repair section of a home hardware store. Buy a kit that comes with both the catalyst and hardener that you will mix together to create the epoxy.  Most epoxy chip repair kits come in shades of white to match the most common color of bathtubs. Try to choose a kit that will closely match the shade of your bathtub, or 2 kits that you can mix together to create the right color. Epoxy repair kits work to fix chips in all kinds of bathtubs including ceramic, porcelain, acrylic, fiberglass, and enamel tubs. Use warm water and dish detergent or a household tile and tub cleaner to clean the chipped area. Thoroughly dry the area with a clean rage after you finish cleaning it. You can also use acetone or rubbing alcohol to clean the area. Any product that removes grease and soap scum will work to clean the chip. Some epoxy kits come with a mixing tray and stirring stick for you to use. Mix the epoxy in a disposable tray with a toothpick or matchstick if your kit didn't come with the mixing supplies. It's a good idea to set the tray on a piece of cardboard or some scraps of paper to catch any spills. Scoop up a small amount of the epoxy with your chosen utensil. Spread it carefully in a thin layer over the chip by working in 1 direction and smooth out any spots where it pools.  Make sure that anything you use to apply the epoxy is disposable. It will be hard to get the epoxy off of anything it touches. It's easiest to start with a small amount of epoxy and add more layers than it is to put too much on and remove it. Follow the directions on your epoxy kit to let it fully dry. Gently sand the surface with 400- or 600-grit sandpaper until it feels smooth like the rest of the tub.  Some epoxy will set in 2-3 hours, at which point you can sand. Other kits may advise you to wait up to 24 hours before sanding. You can add another layer of epoxy after sanding if you can still feel the chip. Then repeat the process.
A:
Buy a 2-component epoxy kit for chip repair. Scrub the damaged area with a sponge and soap or tub cleaner, then dry it. Follow the directions on your epoxy kit to mix the 2 components together. Apply the epoxy to the chip with a small spatula, paint brush, or bottom of a matchstick. Let the epoxy dry, then sand down the surface with 400-600 grit sandpaper.
