INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether it be fallen leaves in autumn, fallen branches after a storm or some other accumulation of debris, a leaf blower can help you swiftly clear your turf. Designate one corner of your yard and blow all debris towards it. Once all debris is grouped, you can collect it for removal. You should only have to pass over the turf once to completely clear it of larger debris. While a leaf blower is effective for larger debris, it might not clear the grass of dust or spills. Using a garden hose, rinse the entirety of the turf. Make sure to do so lightly; too much water pressure could damage the grass. Start from one end of your yard, moving across and sweeping the hose in a circular motion as you do. Brushing the grass frequently will keep the grass blades pointed upwards, affording your lawn a more natural look. You can use a brush, as long as it has soft bristles. However, you’ll be better served using a broom or a rake; the added reach will make covering the whole yard easier and quicker. Start in one corner of your yard, and move horizontally as you brush. Once you’ve reached the opposite end, take a few steps back, and move across again. You should always brush in the same direction, against the grass’ natural grain.

SUMMARY: Use a leaf blower to get rid of debris. Rinse the turf with a garden hose. Brush the grass using a broom or rake.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Many massage therapists use their website as a way to communicate with clients, book clients, and retain new clientele. The website does not have to be fancy or state of the art. Instead, go for a basic website that showcases your business name, your certifications, the services you offer, and your unique approach to massage therapy.  You can hire a web designer to create your website for you, or create your own website using a basic website design program like Wordpress.com or Squarespace.com. You can then link your website to other social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Your business should also have a Google Plus page with accurate information that appears when your business is googled by clients. Though it may seem old-fashioned to hand out flyers, targeting your community with old-fashioned marketing can be beneficial. Go around to local coffee shops and community centers and ask if you can post flyers about your new massage therapist business. This will help you develop business in your area and lead to word of mouth marketing. Some of your clients may want to claim their massage with their company’s health fund or the government health fund so they can receive a rebate. You will need to make this option available to your clients by contacting each health fund and filling out an application form. You will then receive a provider number that you can use on your clients’ rebates to allow them to claim their massages. Offering this option to your clients will likely make your business seem more appealing to clients and keep them coming back to you for your services. To encourage your clients to continue to use your services, you can start a rewards program where your clients get discounts or bonus treatments once they have booked you a certain number of times or spent a certain amount of money. You can also set up a referrals program where clients are rewarded if they refer a friend to your business. Using rewards programs can be a simple and direct way to retain your clients and to attract new clients. However, you should not lean too heavily on these programs, as your massage therapy services should be strong enough to justify return visits from your clients.
Summary: Create a website for your business Hand out flyers in your community. Register your business with health funds in your country. Reward referrals from existing clients.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Experts recommend that all adults at least get a comprehensive dilated eye exam by the age of 40, and follow up with regular visits thereafter.  Check to see if you have vision insurance or a health policy that covers eye care. Regular health insurance typically covers screenings for those with an increased risk factor for eye disease. If you don’t have insurance coverage, find out the eye doctor’s fee for a routine exam, and for any special testing that may be required. See the right kind of eye care professional at the right time. Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians all deal with eye care and treatment but have different training and expertise.. You can request a referral for an ophthalmologist or optometrist from your family physician, or call a local hospital or medical center’s department of ophthalmology or optometry for information. Most commonly, eye drops are placed in the eye in order to dilate the pupil. The patient’s eyes are then evaluated for vision acuity, coordination of eye muscles, peripheral vision, response to light, color testing, eyelid health and function, the health of the interior and back of the eye, and pressure. Beginning at the age of six months, infants should have their first eye examination. Vision and eye development problems in children are best treated if they are caught early. Some conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, HIV or AIDS, or thyroid diseases can cause or worsen eye conditions. Additionally, you should also contact your physician right away if you have pain in the eye, unusual red eye, or any of the following issues:  Bulging or misalignment of one or both eyes Dark curtain or veil that blocks your vision Distorted, doubled, or decreased vision, even if temporary Excess tearing Halos (colored circles around lights) Loss of peripheral (side) vision New floaters (black "strings" or specks in the vision) and/or flashes of light Common eye problems and diseases include glaucoma, cataracts, conjunctivitis, retinal disorders, and macular degeneration. These diseases do not always have symptoms, so if you have a sudden change in vision, it is important to contact your health care professional right away.  Cataracts — A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, and are common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all Americans either suffer from cataracts or have had cataract surgery. Common symptoms include blurry vision and seeing halos.  Glaucoma — Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, with the main feature being damage to the optic nerve. Symptoms include slowly losing peripheral vision. There is no cure, but symptoms can be controlled through medication and surgery to lower the eye pressure.  Macular degeneration — More common even than glaucoma, macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss, affecting more than 10 million Americans. It consists of the deterioration of the eye’s macula, which is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye that controls a person’s central vision. Your physician will want to know if you have experienced certain conditions or problems before, or have had family members experience them. Diagnoses of nearsightedness and farsightedness have a genetic component. Additionally, diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration may also involve genetic causes. Flushing the eyes with saline can help if you accidentally splash cleaning products or other substances in your eyes.

SUMMARY:
Find a reputable eye care professional and go for yearly exams. Expect a number of different tests to take place during the exam. Get your children's vision tested on a regular basis. Monitor other conditions or symptoms that aren't eye-related. Tell your physician about changes in your eyesight. Explain to your healthcare provider about your and your family’s eye health history. Keep saline solution in your home medical kit.
