Q: Never approach or attempt to help the animal yourself. Also, never corner wild animals or try to rescue them. Wild animals will likely feel threatened and may endanger themselves by dashing off into flood waters, fire, and so forth. Wild animals such as snakes, opossums, and raccoons often seek refuge from flood waters on upper levels of homes and have been known to remain after water recedes. If you encounter animals in this situation, open a window or provide another escape route and the animal will likely leave on its own. Do not attempt to capture or handle the animal. Should the animal stay, call your local animal control office or wildlife resource office. Animal carcasses can present serious health risks. Contact your local emergency management office or health department for help and instructions. If bitten by an animal, seek immediate medical attention.
A: Call your local animal control office or wildlife resource office if you encounter an injured or stranded animal. Let wild animals that have taken refuge in your home escape. Leave a dead animal alone.

Q: Use the misting attachment on your hose to wet the concrete. This prevents the concrete from absorbing the water from your resurfacer, which helps it adhere better. If there’s any standing water left on the concrete’s surface, push it off using a stiff-bristled broom.  If you don’t have a misting attachment for your hose, you’ll just have more water to brush off at the end. Resurfacer cannot be mixed by hand or in a barrel drum since it will not reach the right consistency. Pour the resurfacer mix and the water into a 5 US gal (19 L) bucket. Use the corded drill with a paddle attachment to blend the resurfacer together. This time, blend the resurfacer until it has the consistency of pancake batter.  Keeping the water cold will slightly increase the working time for the resurfacer. If your mixture is too thick, add 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of water at a time to loosen it. If the mix is too runny, add 1⁄2 pound (0.23 kg) of the resurfacer. This will cover 45 square feet (4.2 m2) of concrete, so adjust the amounts as necessary for the area you intend to resurface. Start at one end of your concrete slab and work your way toward the other end. Lift your bucket and pour all of the mixed resurfacer onto your concrete in a strip that’s 1 foot (0.30 m) wide by 6–8 feet (1.8–2.4 m) long. Keep the resurfacer at least 2 feet (0.61 m) away from the edge of the concrete slab so it doesn’t ooze off. Don’t pour more than 1 strip at a time since the resurfacer dries within 30 minutes. Use a long-handled squeegee to make a thin layer of the resurfacer. Work in back and forth motions until the resurfacer is smooth and between 1⁄4–1⁄2 inch (0.64–1.27 cm) thick. Do not cover the weather stripping in the joints between your slabs.  Only work on an area that’s 144 square feet (13.4 m2) or smaller so the resurfacer doesn’t dry before you’re finished. A bag of concrete resurfacer covers about 90 square feet (8.4 m2). Keep a few extra bags of resurfacer handy in case you need to add more. Smooth concrete can be slippery unless you add texture to it. After the resurfacer has been sitting for 5 minutes, drag a nylon-bristle concrete broom across the surface to create texture lines. Always brush in the same direction so the lines look neat and uniform.  Concrete brushes are available to buy at your local home improvement or hardware store. Don’t use a regular broom since the resurfacer could get caught and dry in the bristles. Continue to pour strips of the resurfacer, working towards the edge of your slab. Squeegee the concrete until it’s smooth and level, then use your broom to add texture. Stay off of the resurfacer until it’s completely dry, which usually takes around 6 hours. If the temperatures are lower than 73 °F (23 °C), the resurfacer may take longer to set. Pull the weather stripping out from the joints between your slabs.  If you resurfaced a driveway or area with vehicle traffic, wait 24 hours before driving over it. If the temperature is higher than 90 °F (32 °C), mist the resurfacer twice per day to cure it.
A: Mist the concrete so it’s damp. Mix 5 1⁄2  c (1,300 ml) of cool water with 20 lb (9.1 kg) of resurfacer. Pour the resurfacer in a small area on top of your concrete. Spread the resurfacer evenly across your concrete with a squeegee. Brush across the surface with a concrete broom to add texture to the resurfacer. Pour resurfacer until you’ve finished your entire concrete area. Let the resurfacer dry for 6 hours before walking on it and removing weather stripping.

Q: Most desktop and laptop computers use a 3.5 mm mini-jack, the type that's compatible with standard headphones and earbuds, for audio output. An HDMI port can also be used for audio output. The most common "audio in" port will be the red and white RCA (composite) jacks for an A/V connection. Other possible audio-in ports include:  3.5 mm mini-jack Digital optical audio S/PDIF digital audio Depending on your computer's output port and the TV's input port, you will need one of the following:  3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable; 3.5 mm to RCA input cable; 3.5 mm to RCA adapter and RCA cable; 3.5 mm to Digital optical adapter and digital optical audio cable; 3.5 mm S/PDIF adapter and S/PDIF cable; HDMI to Digital optical adapter/extractor and digital optical audio cable; or HDMI to Digital S/PDIF adapter/extractor and S/PDIF audio cable If you're using an adapter/cable combination, connect the correct end of the cable to the adapter. If using an RCA cable, be sure to match the red and white connectors with the corresponding colors on the input. If using an RCA cable, be sure to match the red and white connectors with the corresponding colors on the input. Take note of the port number labeled on the TV.  It's a button on the remote or on the TV itself and is typically labeled "Input" or "Source." You should see a blank screen on the TV but hear the sounds generated by your computer over the TV's speakers. If you don't hear any sound: (1) Make sure the volume is up and mute is off on both the TV and your computer; and (2) Check your computer audio output or sound settings to make sure that the output is set to the headphone jack.
A:
Locate the audio output jack on your computer. Locate an audio input port on your TV. Obtain the correct combination of adapters and/or cables. Connect the adapter or cable to your computer. Connect the correct end of the adapter or cable to the TV. Power on the TV and your computer, if you haven't already done so. Locate and press the input selector for the TV. Select the A/V port to which your computer is connected.
