Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Vacuum and wipe down the floor. Draw two lines intersecting in the center of the room. Lay down four tiles in each quadrant of the cross. Lay down tiles from the center out.

Answer: Use a floor vacuum and get all of the dust and dirt from off the surface of your floor. Then, use a damp mop or rag to wipe down the floor that you plan on laying the tile over. Let the floor dry before moving on to the next step. Measure from the corner of the wall to the center of a wall and mark it. Draw a line with chalk down the center of your floor to the other side of the room. Repeat the process on the adjacent wall so that you draw two lines that intersect in the exact center of the room.  For irregularly sized floors, break the floor up into separate pieces before drawing the center lines. This will help you know where you should start laying the tiles. Use a straightedge to help you draw the lines straight. Position each of the tiles so that the sides of the tile line up with the chalk cross that you drew. Do not use adhesive--just make sure that the tiles fit properly. Position the next tiles right against the edge of the four tiles you have in the center and work your way out to the edges of the room. Work on filling in each quadrant before moving onto the next one. Make sure to place the tiles so that each side fits snugly against the side of the tiles next to it. Continue to lay down the carpet tile until you reach the edges of the room.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go with a dark wash denim boot for a polished look. Pair your boots with darker neutrals for a sleek look. Dress your thigh-high boots up with an oversized button-up and short shorts. Wear your boots with a dress on special occasions. Throw on a blazer to take your outfit to the next level. Dress up your denim boots with a statement piece of jewelry.

Answer: Dressing up denim is much easier if the denim looks crisp and polished. Purchase a pair of boots that is made of a dark wash denim if you intend to wear them with fancier outfits. Denim boots can clash with vibrant colors and busy patterns. Opt for solid-colored, dark neutral-colored clothes instead. Tops, dresses, skirts, and shorts that are solid black or charcoal can be paired with your boots for a daring dressy nighttime look. On a night out, consider wearing a solid black strapless bodycon dress with a stretchy, fitted pair of stiletto thigh highs. If you’re going fancier, swap your t-shirt out for a button-up to bring in a classic, clean element. Let a pair of short shorts or a miniskirt peek out from underneath your button up to complete the look. Try Wearing a crisp white oversized button-up, a red leather mini skirt, and distressed stiletto thigh-highs. Dresses are typically a solid outfit choice if you’re wanting to go formal. Form-fitting, baggy, long, and short dresses can all look great with a pair of denim boots. Contrast the fit and length of the 2 to get the best possible outfit.  If you have tight, thigh-high denim boots, opt for a short swing dress. If you have baggy thigh-highs, go for a bodycon dress. If you have ankle boots, wear a dress that falls at or below the knee. Blazers can add sophistication to nearly any outfit. Put on a classic, fitted blazer over a dress or fitted top to dress up your denim boots.  Pair a dark-wash boot with a navy blazer. Wear a solid-colored bright yellow blazer with a light-wash pair of denim boots. A statement piece of jewelry can take your outfit from relaxed to chic. Put on sparkly pair of chandelier earrings, a classic gold watch, or a long pendant necklace to go for a classier vibe with your denim boots.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a pot one size up when your violets need more space. Select a pot that drains well. Purchase new potting soil. Reduce the soil density by mixing in soil additives. Pack the new pot with soil.

Answer: When you notice roots breaking from the root ball and pushing out of the soil or pot, repot the violet. If you are unsure of what size pot you need, use the plant’s leaf span as a guide. Get a pot about a third of that size. For example, if your violets have a 9 in (23 cm) diameter, use a 3 in (7.6 cm) pot. Violets grow well in a variety of different pots. Clay or terracotta pots tend to drain better by letting more air into the soil. However, violets are easier to remove from plastic pots. As long as you can ensure the soil doesn’t get soggy, use whichever type you are more comfortable with. Clay pots are particularly beneficial if you live in a warm, humid area or grow the violet in a greenhouse. Old soil gets acidic over time, so replace it to keep your violets healthy. Go to a gardening center to get a quality potting soil. Some locations sell soil specifically designed for African violets. While violets can grow in potting soil, mix in additional substances for the best chance of success. Get vermiculite and perlite from the gardening center as well. Put on gloves and mix 1 part vermiculite and 1 part perlite with 1 part potting soil. If you feel adventurous, try making your own soil. Replace the potting soil with brown sphagnum peat moss and mix it in with the additives. Spread out soil on the bottom of the new pot, then begin packing it around the sides. Leave a hole for the violet’s root ball. Pack in enough soil so that the violet’s leaves are right above the pot’s rim. Use the size of the old pot as a guide for how much soil you need.  For example, if the new pot is 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) taller than the old pot, fill it with 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) of soil on the bottom. Avoid filling the pot to the top with soil. Leave between 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) and 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) of space between the soil and rim.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take note of skin and toenail changes. Look for ulcer formation. Beware of complete lack of sensation.

Answer:
Advanced damage to autonomic nerves in your feet will likely cause you to sweat less, so there will be less moisture in the skin (which become dry, scaly and/or flaky) and toenails (which become brittle). You may notice your toenails start to crumble and look similar to a fungal infection.  If there is concomitant arterial disease caused by diabetes, lower leg skin can turn dark brown due to lack of blood flow. In addition to color changes, the texture of the skin may change, often looking smoother and shinier than before. Ulceration of the skin on the feet is a consequence of advanced sensory nerve damage. Initially, neuropathic ulcers can be painful, but as sensory nerve damage progresses, the ability of the nerves to transmit pain is dramatically reduced. Repeated injury can result in multiple ulcer formation that you may not even notice.  Neuropathic ulcers usually develop on the bottoms of feet, especially in those who constantly walk around barefoot. The presence of ulcers increases the risk of infection and gangrene (tissue death). Completely losing all sensation in your feet is a very dire situation and never considered normal. Not being able to feel the sensations of touch, vibration or pain makes it difficult to walk and puts you in danger of foot trauma leading to infection. In advanced stages of the disease, the muscles of the feet may become paralyzed, making walking without assistance nearly impossible.  Loss of pain and temperature sensation may lead to carelessness about accidental burns and cuts. You may be unaware that you're injuring your feet. Complete lack of coordination and balance puts you at risk for leg, hip and pelvis fractures due to falling.
