Q: Long grass, piles of leaves, and mulch right next to your home make great hiding places for millipedes. Mow your lawn to keep the grass short and remove leaf piles that are near your house. If you have mulch, move it at least 2 to 3 feet (61 to 91 cm) away from the foundation of your home. Common millipede hiding places also include trash piles, rocks, boards, and compost. Since millipedes love moist environments, keep your home as dry as possible. Clean the gutters and check to see if downspouts are properly directing water away from your house. If you live on a floodplain, you may need to install a sump pump to keep water out of your basement. If you have a constant problem with moisture and millipedes, use extended gutters to divert the rainwater as far away from your house as possible. or crevices leading into the home. Check the walls, windows, and doors of your home for ways that millipedes could be getting in. Apply weather stripping, seal cracks, and apply caulking to prevent millipedes from getting inside. Some millipedes can crawl through vents. To prevent this from happening, install screens on the outside of each vent space. Millipedes are drawn to moisture, so set up a dehumidifier to dry out your house. If you're unsure if your house is moist, purchase an inexpensive hygrometer from the hardware store. It will show you the humidity level in your house. Run the dehumidifier until the humidity level is under 50%. Pay special attention to the subfloor crawl space and basement, if your house has these areas. These spaces are usually among the dampest, so if millipedes are entering your home, it might be through these locations. Check your city laws to see if you're allowed to keep chickens in your yard. Chickens eat many garden pests, including millipedes so they're a great natural deterrent. Since chickens eat a lot throughout the day, you probably only need a few to control the millipede population in your yard.
A: Trim your lawn regularly and remove piles of leaves or debris. Divert rainwater away from the house. Seal cracks Use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture in your house. Raise chickens that will feed on the millipedes.

Article: You can use dividers if you want a perfect circle. As you keep on practicing, you will be able to draw a perfect circle without any need of dividers or anything else. (Do not put too much pressure on the pencil while drawing this as this is "just" a baseline and you will have to erase it when you're done.) (Draw the second line a little lower from the diameter of the circle.) The two points where the circle and the horizontal line touch, mark the point where the jaw will start and the tip of the vertical line will be the tip of the chin. This line should be parallel to the first one. The eyes will be placed between the two of them. Start off with two lines on the horizontal baseline on the top, shaped like an arch. The lower lines of the eye should be straighter than the ones on the top but should still not be too straight. The lower lines should be shorter than the ones on the top but not too short. Add some eyelashes, both on the top line and the lower line. The lower tip of the oval should "slightly" touch the lower eyelid when the upper part of the oval should look like it was "half-covered" by the upper eyelid. (Check the image for this step for some more help.) Although, if you want to give her a "surprised" look, the upper part of the oval nor the lower part should not touch the eyelids "at all". Add little circles inside the eyes. These will be the sparkles. Then add the pupils. The pupils should be large but if you want to give her a "frightened" look, the pupils should be small. This is the nose. The mouth will be placed on the vertical line and just under the nose. But before erasing, mark the point where the mouth will be so it will be easier. Don't panic if you had erased the lines before marking the spot, it is easy to understand where it should be. Start with a short line, shaped like an arch. Then draw the same line, but this time upside down so that it looks like a pout. Add another little line under the mouth. This is the lower lip. Eyebrows can be straight (if you want an innocent or afraid look) or they can be arch-shaped (if you want a serious or neutral look).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start off with a circle for the head. Now draw a vertical line that divides the circle into half that is a little longer than the diameter of the circle and a horizontal one that the two lines make a 90° angle. Draw the chin with the help of these two lines. Draw another horizontal line a little higher than the first one. Drawing the eyes is the most difficult of them all. For the eyes, draw two ovals between the two lines. Put a little line on the point where the first vertical line cuts the circle. Before adding the mouth, you should erase the base lines. Draw the mouth. Add the eyebrows.

Problem: Article: While students are working on assignments in class or engaging in other methods of independent study in the classroom, you will want to go around the room and engage them about what they are doing. Ask how things are going. Don’t just ask what’s wrong, ask what they feel they are understanding really well too. Get more out of them than “I’m doing fine” or “Everything’s okay”. You can even ask them to explain what they are doing or what their understanding of the assignment is. After an assignment, look at the overall performance of the class. Identify common problems or potentially common problems and discuss these. Talk about why the mistake is easy to make and how to identify the problem. Talk about how it’s fixed or a better approach. Understanding a problem beyond “this is wrong and this is right” will give students much stronger abilities to problem solve later. Don’t cover something at the beginning of the year and never talk about it again. Constantly tie new material to the skills established in previous lessons. This will solidify and reinforce the skills that a student has gained, much like learning a language requires study every day. For example, an English lesson on writing argumentative papers may want to draw on the skills learned earlier regarding narrative works by discussing how one can use stories within argumentative papers to make emotional appeals or how voice can affect a reader’s perception of information.
Summary: Interact during independent study. Discuss weak points. Occasionally revisit old material.

Q: Typically, you will be instructed to fast for at least 12 hours prior to your appointed hour of surgery. Fasting will reduce the chances of nausea or throwing up during surgery, which can be triggered by some types of anesthesia.  Fasting includes gum, mints, and other small items. You can brush your teeth; just do not swallow any of the water or toothpaste. You will be discouraged from driving home after the surgery, due to residual effects of the anesthesia. Arrange a driver so you can get home after you are discharged without any delay. Your driver can also help you get your medications from the pharmacy on the way home. Try to avoid placing anything on your body that could inadvertently interfere with the surgical procedure. This includes jewelry, makeup, perfume, cologne, lotions, etc. Also, wear glasses instead of contacts, as your eyes may be dried out during the surgery. To expedite the process of registration and make sure you are ready for surgery on time, make sure to bring the required items. Bringing these items and having them on hand will save you time digging through your bags or returning home to get them. Bring:  A photo ID (driver's license or state identification card). Your health insurance card. A form of payment if another arrangement has not already been made. A list of the medications you are taking, the dosage and time of the day that you take them. You should also bring a list of the medications you are allergic or have had a reaction to. Walker or crutches, if necessary. Bring a case for your glasses, dentures and hearing aid, if applicable. All of these items will be removed prior to surgery.
A:
Stop eating and drinking by 12 am the night before your surgery. Arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery. Wear your glasses and leave unnecessary items at home. Bring the necessary paperwork to the hospital.
