Look on the underside of the shoe’s tongue for a white label. Beneath the sizing information, real shoes have the intended gender of the wearer—either Male or Female—listed in both English and French as the shoes are made in Vietnam. Fake NMD shoes often skip the gender and simply list the model number. So for example, real men’s shoes will read “Male/Mâle” and real women’s shoes will read “Female/Femelle.” On the tongue’s underside label, look for a 13-digit security code in the bottom-most right hand corner of the label. On real NMD shoes, your left and right shoes will each have a unique number. If this number is the same on both shoes, your NMDs are fake. On each side of the upper, look for the 3 signature side stripes that are typical of Adidas shoes. On real NMD shoes, you will still be able to see the texture of the prime knit material of the uppers through the side panels. The panels should not be perfectly smooth. These panels are embedded in the shoe and should not protrude significantly. Check the heels of your NMD shoes for a rubber heel overlay with the trefoil Adidas logo as well as Adidas lettering. On real NMD shoes, a small trademark symbol is located above the letter s and slightly to the right on both shoes. Look at the ankle collar or foot opening of your NMD shoes.  Right above the laces on each side, there should be a slight bulge in the collar fabric that’s there to help your shoes fit more snugly. If your shoes don’t have this bulge, they may be fake NMD shoes.

One-sentence summary -- Read for a gender on the tongue’s label. Check for a unique security number on each shoe. Look for underlying texture through the 3 signature side panels. Inspect for a heel overlay with the Adidas logo. Look for two identical bulges around the collar of the shoe.

Q: Each room or area of a house can present its own level of decluttering difficulties. A lesser-used area may be the simplest to begin with and can therefore bring the quickest rewards. Because it is so frequently used, often by more than one person in the household, a kitchen can be more difficult to keep decluttered. De-cluttering a house full of objects, especially ones that are either broken, or likely to never be used at all will make more space for living and entertaining. Redundant objects can be removed or hidden in storage. Only the best-looking objects and knick-knacks, like vases, lamps, and chairs that fit the style and look of the room should be left on display.  Determine what you use on a daily basis and seek to have those items easily accessible. For example, if you do not use your food dehydrator often, place it into storage (basement, garage). It will save valuable space for items you may use on a daily basis (toaster, coffee maker). You may also determine usage of items based on season. For example, during the winter months you may not entertain as often. If so, you can place your serving trays and extra dishes in the basement until spring or summer comes. The same reasoning can be applied to seasonal items such as BBQ accessories (skewers, grills, etc.).
A: Understand that some areas of the house are harder to declutter than other areas. Realize that objects can stand between you and space to think and move.

Article: A small, flat wooden tool is ideal, such as the end of a wooden spoon or a French rolling pin (without handles). Plastic or hard rubber tools will also work, but require a delicate touch. Avoid muddlers with teeth, since these tear up the leaves too much. A tough herb such as rosemary needs more breaking down. Follow the instructions for fruit instead. Do not muddle in a delicate glass that may chip or break when struck. If the cocktail also calls for fruit, cucumber, or other non-herb ingredients, muddle them separately for best results. Granulated sugar tears into the ingredients as you muddle. This can be overkill for soft herbs, so add it with the fruit instead, or dissolve it in a few drops of water and add it to the cocktail separately. Mint, basil, and other soft leaves release bitter flavors when crushed or torn apart. Just press down gently with the blunt tool while you twist your wrist, then release. Do this two or three times. Use your dominant hand to muddle while you hold the glass steady with your other hand. The leaves are ready when lightly bruised, but still intact. You should be able to smell the herb, since the goal of muddling is to release flavorful, aromatic oils. You can leave the herbs in the final cocktail for presentation or strain them out, as desired.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose a gentle muddling tool. Put the ingredients in a sturdy glass. Press and twist lightly. Finish the drink.

Problem: Article: If the ignition cylinder has seized, spraying a small amount of electrical cleaner into the key hole may lubricate it enough to turn.  Be careful not to spray too much into the key hole. A few short squirts should suffice. Once done, insert the key and turn it back and forth gently to work the lubricant in. If this works, you may need to replace the ignition cylinder soon as it gets progressively worse. Debris caught in the ignition can prevent the key from turning, which will prevent the steering wheel from unlocking. Purchase canned air from a local retail or office supply store and insert the straw from the nozzle directly into the key hole. It should only take a few short sprays to clean out any debris. Put on eye protection before spraying canned air into the key hole to prevent debris from getting into your eyes. If there was any debris stuck to the key when you inserted it, it may have gotten caught in the pins of the ignition cylinder. Insert the key completely, then slide it back out. Repeat the process a few times to try to move any debris that may be caught in the cylinder.  If this works, the issue will likely continue to occur until the debris is cleaned out from the ignition cylinder. Use canned air to clean out the lock cylinder if this method worked. If your key won't turn when you insert it into the ignition it may be because the key has been damaged. Rounded or chipped teeth on the key will no longer engage the pins in the ignition cylinder to the depth necessary to spin it. Any of these could result in the key failing to turn in the ignition, which will also prevent the wheel from being unlocked.  You will need a replacement key if the key is too damaged to turn the ignition cylinder. Do not copy a damaged key. A replacement will have to be cut by a dealership that works with vehicles of your make and model.
Summary: Use a small dose of electrical cleaner in the key hole. Spray canned air into the ignition. Gently slide the key in and out a number of times. Ensure the key is not bent or damaged.

Article: You can use just a brass lacquer polishing cloth. If desired, add a small amount of spray furniture wax. Avoid wash clothes, paper towels and any cleaning product not specifically made for brass instrument care. You can safely tighten loose rod screws, but be careful not to over-torque them. Specialty swabs, pad savers and bell brushes can be washed lightly by hand with a small amount of soap. Each should last years if cleaned regularly. It should look, feel, and play beautifully! When in doubt, consult a professional.
