Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wrap the strap around your load so the ends overlap on top. Squeeze the tension lever and the base handle on your tensioner. Place the bottom strap underneath the gripper plate and cutter wheel. Lift the tension handle and thread the other end into the cutter wheel. Move the tension lever back and forth to pull the strapping tight. Place a gripper seal around the 2 layered straps in front of the tensioner. Use a sealer tool to clamp the seal shut. Squeeze the tensioner’s base handle and tension lever to cut the excess.

Answer: Place 1 end of the strap on top of the load and keep it in place by having someone hold it or setting something heavy on top of it. Slide the other end beneath the load, then pull it up and over. With polyester strapping, the end that is closest to your body should be on the bottom. Adjust the straps so they run down the center of the load to keep everything in place. These pieces form the main handle on the tool. Squeezing them will lift up the gripper plate on the left side of the tool. Leave about 5 in (13 cm) of strapping in front so you have enough to secure later, and slide the strap up against the side of the tool. Once you have the bottom strapping in place, you can release the tension lever and base handle. The cutter wheel is the piece that looks like a knob on the tool’s front left side. Pushing the tension lever up will move the windlass (the middle ratcheting device on the left side of the tool) into place. The end of the strapping should go through the center line of the cutter wheel, then up through the center of the windlass. Once the strapping is in place, push the tension lever back and forth 2-3 times to tighten it up a bit and keep the strapping secure. Keep tightening until the strap is secure and taut around all sides of the load. The tensioner tool will ensure that you have a small amount of slack to apply the seals, so don’t worry about leaving any extra slack. Be careful not to over-tighten, which can damage the edges of the load and put too much strain on the strapping. Set it down with the flat side on top and the 2 bent sides tucked around the strapping. Leave about 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of the bottom strap at the front of the seal. Completely open up the sealer tool and place it directly over the seal. Press hard, bringing the 2 handles together, to push the ends of the seal tightly around the strapping. Pull the handles apart and remove the sealing tool. Now that the straps are secured, go back to the tensioner tool and squeeze the 2 handles together again. Keep gripping the handles and slide the tensioning tool off to the right to remove it from the strapping. This will activate the cutter wheel, trimming the top layer of strapping to a neat length.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Isolate the infected horse. Assess whether treatment is necessary. Apply a topical treatment for ringworm. Clean all equipment and areas that the infected horse has been in contact with. Give your horse oral medication for ringworm if topical treatment is not effective.

Answer: You need to limit the spread of the infection, which is done by keeping the infected horse away from uninfected horses. Where possible, it is best to isolate the horse for 2-3 weeks during and after treatment to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. In some cases, the horse's immune system will fight off the infection. In these cases the infection is considered 'self-limiting,' meaning that no treatment is necessary to cure that horse. However, because of the risk of infection and widespread shedding of fungus into the environment, it is advisable to treat ringworm before it has run its course.  It can take around 6 - 15 weeks for self-cure to take place. During this time the horse is a source of infection to other horses. If the lesions are itchy and the horse rubs a lot, the ringworm patches may get infected are require further veterinary attention. Signs of infection include reddening of the area, inflammation, scabs formation, or weeping or discharge from the area. The first line of treatment is to use a topical treatment that is wiped over the affected areas to damage and kill the fungus. The product licensed for use in horses contains a drug called enilconazole (Imaverol). This is a liquid which damages the structure of the fungus and kills spores. It should be applied to the skin and hairs every three days for at least four treatments.  Imaverol is concentrated and needs dilution prior to use. 1 ml of Imaverol is added to 50ml of water to make a 0.2% solution. It is best to spray the whole horse for the first treatment, in order to contact any fungus which is present but not yet showing signs of infection. After than it is acceptable to treat the infected areas only with a margin of skin around them to catch any sideways spread. The diluted Imaverol needs to contact the fungus, therefore scabs need to be removed first. This can be done by soaking them in a shampoo Malaseb (containing an antifungal agent, miconazole) and then picking them off or brushing gently with a toothbrush. Take care to wear gloves so that your skin doesn't become affected. After removing the scabs, thoroughly dry the skin so that water doesn't further dilute the Imaverol and weaken its action. Use any leftover Imaverol solution to wipe down reins and tack to decrease the risk of spread via equipment. It is also advisable to scrub down woodwork and surfaces with a 10% solution of bleach to kill the ringworm spores, which could pose a source of future infection. Oral medication, such as antifungal Griseofulvin, can be is added to the horse's feed. This treatment is usually reserved for hard-to-treat cases that are resistant to topical therapy. The horse receives treatment daily for 7 days. However, this treatment works from the inside out, and takes longer to be effective as the fungus need to contact the chemical in the blood. Also, some of the shed fungus could potentially still be infective.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide if natural colorants are right for you. Manage your expectations. Do a strand test. Decide where you will color your hair. Use a natural conditioning treatment after coloring gray hair.

Answer:
Naturally coloring your hair can be a messy process and take longer to process than chemical dyes. However, if your hair is damaged or easily damaged, natural colorants will be easier on your tresses than conventional hair dyes. It's up to you personally whether the benefits outweigh any inconvenience.  If you have sensitive skin, herbal colorants may be the best choice for you, since chemical hair dyes can cause contact dermatitis.  Natural colorants such as cassia obovata, henna and indigo are mixed into a paste that needs to sit out overnight. They also take longer to develop (from an hour to six hours) once applied to your hair. Keep in mind that the results you get with natural dyes can vary. If you have a specific desired look in mind, they might not be a good option for you. While you can plan for a general shade, natural colorants react differently to each individual's type and condition of hair. Your results will be unique and may be lighter, darker, or more varied in hue than you expect. Natural colorants, particularly tinting rinses, may not give you complete coverage of gray hair. How well it works for you depends on the method you use, how long you let it sit, and your hair type. You may need to repeat the process of coloring after 48 hours if your gray hair has not been covered successfully. Your individual hair type as well as various hair products you've used in the past affect how your hair takes to natural colorants. Save a few trimmings of hair the next time you get your hair cut, or snip a lock of hair near the back of your neck. Apply the colorant you want to use to the strand using the instructions for the method you've chosen.  After applying the colorant, wait the entire process time. Then, rinse the lock completely and allow it to dry in direct sunlight, if you can. Check the final results under bright natural lighting. If necessary, adjust the ingredient or processing time for your own hair – more or less, depending on the shade you desire. Keep in mind that your strand test may not provide an accurate result for all of your hair. Some parts of your hair, such as the top portion, may take the dye differently. This is because typical styling, touching, and environmental exposure can affect your hair. Because natural hair colorants are typically messier than conventional hair dye, you will want to think about the best place to color your hair beforehand. Cassia obovata is not staining unless there is something added to it, like rhubarb. Henna and indigo, however, are both difficult to apply and very staining.   If the weather is nice, you may want to bring one to two large mirrors and dye your hair outside. If you're dyeing your hair in the bathroom, you may want to do so inside of a bathtub or shower. When you dye your hair, wear old clothes or a hairdresser's cape. Then, cover all surfaces with plastic sheeting or old towels. You can also get a friend to help you, which can minimize the mess. When hair turns gray, not only the pigment changes. The cuticles are also thinned, making the strands of hair coarser and more prone to breakage. You can restore moisture to your hair with a natural product: egg, honey and olive oil, or coconut oil.  Cassia obovata, henna, lemon and tea can be drying to your hair, so especially consider doing a natural conditioning treatment afterwards. Mix a whole egg and apply it to clean, damp hair once a month. Leave the mixture in for twenty minutes, then rinse it out with cool water.  Massage 1/2 cup of honey and one to two tablespoons of olive oil into damp, clean hair. Allow the mixture to sit in your hair for twenty minutes, then rinse it out with warm water.  Coconut oil is in a solid state at room temperature, so warm it in your hands or a microwave (if the latter, make sure it is warm and not too hot before applying). Work a couple of teaspoons of it into damp hair and wrap your hair in an old towel (coconut oil can stain fabric). Let it sit for one to two hours, then fully rinse it out and shampoo your hair.
