Article: The primary reason for raising ducks is simply for the sake of companionship. Ducks can be entertaining to watch, since they enjoy playing in the water and can form bonds to the humans that care for them. Duck eggs are richer and higher in protein, calcium, iron, and potassium as compared to chicken eggs. Many breeds of duck also lay more eggs on a yearly basis than chickens do.  Note that if you have an allergy to chicken eggs, you might be able to tolerate duck eggs. Confirm this with your doctor before consuming duck eggs, however. Duck eggs can be used for almost anything that a chicken egg would be used for, but be aware of the fact that they tend to be larger, so you will need to take this difference into account when adding them to recipes. If you end up raising a large number of ducks, you can consider using some of them for food. Duck meat contains vast quantities of protein, iron, zinc, and selenium.  Roasted duck leg contains 217 calories with 11 grams of fat, which is comparable to the amount of calories and fat in a broiler leg of chicken. Similarly, roasted duck breast has 140 calories with 2.5 grams of fat, while broiler chickens have 165 calories and 3.6 grams of fat. If you have live ducks, ducklings, and eggs to sell, you might be able to find a buyer at a nearby farm or in a rural area. When you only need to sell a few, you can usually do so without obtaining a license, but you should check with your local and state laws first before doing so.  If you plan to make a business out of selling your ducks, you will need to obtain the right licenses from the city, state, and federal levels of government. You will also need to follow strict health code regulations. If you plan to sell eggs or food or duck meat, you will also need to follow strict food and health regulations concerning the processing of meat.

Problem: Article: Moisture is a big factor in carpenter ant infestations. Often, a patch of wood will become susceptible to infestation after it's been exposed to moisture. By fixing or sealing any leaks that allow water into your house, you can make it much more difficult for carpenter ants to nest. Below are a few suggestions for eliminating the moisture that can contribute to carpenter ant infestations:  Check around windows for signs of an improper seal Check your roof and weather-facing walls for leaks Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well-ventilated Look for and fix leaky pipes Clean clogged gutters to eliminate runoff water If  carpenter ants can no longer get in  and out your house,  any indoor satellite colonies that are being fed by larger outside colonies will become isolated and may die off. Inspect the outside of your home for cracks, holes, and other small spaces that allow the passage of ants - pay special attention to the areas of exterior walls that are closest to the ground or foundation. Seal any holes you find with caulk or a strong putty. Also check around the points where water and electrical lines enter your home, as these points are extra vulnerable to ant infestation. Because carpenter ants like to make their nests in wood both inside and outside of buildings, finding and eliminating infested wood outside your wood can keep ants from making their way into your house. Carefully inspect any sources of wood near your home - if infested, move or carefully dispose of these wood sources. Places to look include:  Stumps Firewood piles Old trees, especially if their branches touch your house. Piles of yard waste If carpenter ants are a recurring problem, you may want to think about installing a small strip of gravel or stones around your home. This "barrier" zone is fairly inhospitable to carpenter ants and may discourage them from crawling into your house through holes near the foundation. Consult with a contractor to discuss the practicality and affordability of such a project at your house, or, if you're particularly handy, tackle this home improvement project yourself.
Summary: Eliminate sources of moisture. Seal up entry points, cracks and crevices. Eliminate wood materials near your home. Consider installing an artificial barrier.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Mix together 1 Tablespoon (14.7 ml) of baking soda with 1 Tablespoon (14.7 ml) of vinegar to make a thick paste. (Add a bit more more liquid or powder as needed to create a consistency similar to peanut butter). Grab a clean wash cloth, rinse it with warm water, and wring out completely. Then use your washcloth to pick up some of the paste. Dab the paste onto any location with stuck on food or stains. Allow the paste to sit for 3-5 minutes. Then scrub these spots using a soft-bristle brush until the food/stains are gone. If you do not have a soft-bristled brush, you can use a damp washcloth or the textured side of a kitchen sponge. Wipe down any places where paste was applied with a clean washcloth and warm water. Be sure to remove any remaining paste. Dry using a soft cloth or towel.
Summary: Create a paste from vinegar and baking soda. Apply this paste to stubborn stains. Rinse with warm water and dry.

When applying compression to an injured Achilles tendon it's a good idea to start wrapping above the injured area. Place the end of the bandage against the skin and then wrap the bandage around it several times to keep it in place. You want the bandage to be medium tight. This means that it is tight enough to stay in place while not cutting off the circulation. Work your way down from the ankle. When you get to the heel start wrapping around the arch of the foot and down to the toes. It may be that that very corner of your heel is still exposed after your first pass. Then wrap back up the foot and the ankle, making sure to cover areas that have not yet been covered. Keep a small amount of tension on the bandage as you go. This will keep your wraps neat but will not put too much restriction on your circulation. Once you have used up all of your bandage, it needs to be physically attached to itself. Many modern compression bandages come with Velcro on their ends, which will attach to the bandage when it is pressed on the surface. However, if yours doesn't have Velcro, you will need to use a safety pin to secure the end.
