Q: In some communities there is a homeowner’s association that can serve as a mediator to resolve problems between neighbours. If you have already spoken to your neighbour and the problem is not resolved, consider contacting the homeowner’s association to share your concerns and provide the details that you have gathered. If you decide to handle the situation with anonymity, contact the homeowner's association before speaking with your neighbor and ask to remain anonymous. There are authorities designated to assist neighbours with dispute resolution. While problematic, your situation is far from unique and many homeowners have experienced the same issue. Local or municipal authorities may assist you with finding a quicker resolution. Start by contacting city hall. You will need to read the local regulations to ascertain the procedures more clearly in your jurisdiction. In addition to the homeowner’s association and municipalities, you may also find assistance and direction through the fire department or police department, depending on the nature of the problem. If you do not have a homeowner’s association and the problem is escalating, consider contacting a mediation service to assist you with resolving the problem without involving attorneys. A mediator is a neutral third-party who can assist with establishing communication until a resolution is found. Recognize that this is a problem that could take some time and effort to completely resolve. Before you start, realize that engaging with your neighbour regarding this issue may result in a long-standing feud that lasts for years. Be prepared to engage in the process and mend the relationship, if necessary. Some homeowners have found this type of issue to be so disruptive, that they chose instead to sale their home (when they were not otherwise planning to do so) and move on with their lives. While this may be a last ditch solution, it may be something worthy of your consideration depending on the complexity of the situation and your ability and willingness to relocate. You probably do not want to contact an attorney until you have made a sincere effort to resolve the issue. However, there are some instances when the situation is so contentious that you simply have to seek legal assistance.
A: Contact the homeowner’s association. Identify local or municipal authorities. Find a mediator. Follow-up until the situation is resolved. Consider litigation.

Article: Hamsters can get easily injured because their bodies and bones are so small. Fortunately, not all injuries are serious enough to require treatment by a veterinarian. Take a quick look at your hamster to see if his injuries look minor (e.g, small cuts and scrapes) or major (e.g., broken limbs, lots of bleeding).  Minor injuries are typically treatable at home, but major injures require immediate  veterinary care.  If your hamster has major injuries, he will have other symptoms, including labored and raspy breathing, excessive squeals, and aggression when handled. Be mindful that hamsters can be good at hiding just how much pain they’re in. If your hamster’s injuries are major, call your veterinarian immediately to let him or know you will be arriving soon with an emergency case. Be aware that not all small animal veterinarians treat pocket pets (e.g., hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). If your veterinarian is not able to treat your hamster, ask if he or she can refer you to a veterinarian who can. By calling, your veterinarian can advise you on what first aid you can give your hamster before you get to the veterinarian’s office. If you have determined that your hamster’s injuries are minor, begin preparing to treat him at home. You will need a number of supplies, including clean towels, Q-tips, several 10cc syringes (without the needles), and some sterile 2 x 2 gauze. In addition, you will need a bottle of sterile saline, a disinfectant solution (Betadine) and an antibiotic ointment.  You can find treatment supplies at your local pharmacy. Your veterinarian can advise you on the specific type of antibiotic ointment you should use. Betadine is also known as povidone iodine. Hydrogen peroxide has commonly been used as a disinfectant, but it may not be as beneficial as previously thought. The bubbling seen with hydrogen peroxide can damage cells, so using it may do more harm than good.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look at your hamster’s injuries. Call your veterinarian. Gather your treatment supplies.

Problem: Article: Party clothes, club covers, alcohol, and cabs home get expensive. Many famous party girls are actresses and heiresses. You may not need that kind of money, but you'll still need to make a decent living.  Be sure to work in a profession that meshes well with partying. If you're a doctor or nurse, you can't party while you're on-call. Likewise, don't let partying sink your career. Don't go out partying all night when you have an important meeting in the morning. Not only will these people be responsible for preparing your fancy drinks, they'll be good allies in helping you meet more people and stay in touch with the "people who matter." Tip well. Nothing spreads a bad reputation like being a cheap party girl. Make sure if someone is buying for you, that they also tip well. Bad tipping can make you guilty by association. If you're with a bad tipper, throw in some extra cash if you can. A party girl needs her beauty sleep to be refreshed for the rest of her life - and the next party. As with all good things, they come to end and a successful party girl knows when to call it quits. Don't let too much partying ruin your health.
Summary: Have a good source of income. Be kind to your bartenders. Don't overdo the partying.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You don’t have to wait hours if the watch isn’t noticeably dirty, letting it soak for a couple of minutes in a shallow bowl or container should do the trick.  If your watch has been sitting in the mud outside your door step for ten years and you just found it, you might need to leave it for a few hours. You may choose to remove excess water with the cloth and allow the watchband to air dry, if time allows. Air drying is probably your best option.

SUMMARY: Allow the band to soak. Dry the watchband thoroughly.

Q: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder, also known as GERD or acid reflux, is a disorder is which contents from your stomach and intestines enter your esophagus. The acid from the stomach migrates upwards past your lower esophagus, causing a burning pain and, at times, actual erosion of the tissue of the esophagus. Approximately 25 to 35% of Americans are affected acid reflux.  It is uncomfortable and quite painful in some cases.   The discomfort can be assessed on a spectrum from just mild burning to a severe burning chest pain, mimicking a heart attack. The pain of acid reflux is brought on by the gastric fluid, which has a very low acidic pH. It migrates up the esophagus and finds its way into an environment where it doesn’t belong and is not intended to be, such as your esophagus. The migration of gastric fluid that causes acid reflux can be caused by a loose lower esophageal sphincter (LES). It can also be due to gravity, which can take effect if you lie down right after a meal. Acid reflux can also be caused by overeating and applying too much pressure to the LES, forcing the stomach contents back past the sphincter. Other situations that may cause acid reflux are smoking, obesity, high intake of sodium, low intake of dietary fiber, limited physical exercise, and taking certain medications. There are multiple underlying conditions that can cause or be caused by acid reflux. Other conditions that can lead to acid reflux are pregnancy and a hiatal hernia, which is where a hole in the diaphragm allows the upper portion of the stomach to enter the chest cavity.  Acid reflux can cause other conditions, such as a condition called Barrett’s Esophagus. Ask your doctor if you think your acid reflux has an underlying conditional cause or if you think it is causing more serious problems.
A:
Understand acid reflux. Recognize the causes. Be aware of underlying conditions.
