For jewelry decorated with porous gems, watches, antiques that have pieces held with glue, or other delicate silver pieces that can’t be immersed in water or cleaned with the electrolysis method, there are still several options for cleaning.  Mix one tablespoon (15 ml) dishwashing soap (something that’s phosphate-free and ammonia-free) with one cup (240 ml) warm water and stir well. If you want, use a hand blender to mix up some suds. Dip a soft cloth into the soapy water and wring out the excess. Use the damp cloth to clean the silver. Rinse out the cloth with plain water, and wipe off any leftover soap residue. Use a fresh cloth to buff and dry the silver. Take a tablespoon (15 g) of baking soda and mix it with just enough water to make a paste. With a soft-bristled toothbrush or cloth, clean the silver with the paste, making sure to get into the nooks and crannies with the bristles. When the silver is clean, rinse it under warm water or remove the excess paste with a damp cloth. Buff it dry with a clean cloth. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon (6 ml) lemon juice and 1.5 cups (327 ml) olive oil. Dip a cloth into the mixture, wring out the excess, and use this to polish your silver.  For small pieces that can be immersed, soak them in the oil and lemon solution and place the bowl into a small saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough water to bring the bowl off the bottom and turn the heat to medium. Bring up the water temperature and keep it hot, but not boiling, for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and take the silver out of the oil and lemon juice solution. Gently scrub the silver with a soft toothbrush. For either the hot bath or the polishing method, rinse the silver with hot water to remove excess solution, and dry it with a soft cloth. Glass cleaners like Windex can also be used to clean silver. Spray some glass cleaner directly onto a soft cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush. Use the cloth to clean the silver, and then either rinse the piece under warm water or wipe off the excess cleaner with a damp cloth. Dry and buff the silver with a soft cloth.

Q: Tell your doctor what is bothering you in detail. Have you always had sinus issues or is this a new problem for you? Do you find that you feel better or worse at a certain time of the day? How are you currently finding relief? Be specific about your symptoms because the more details you provide your doctor, the better equipped they will be to help your particular condition.  Other questions your doctor may ask: Do you have drainage? If so, how much and how frequent? What is the color and consistency? Do you feel facial pain or fullness? Reduction or loss of smell? If any of the following are present, you may have a condition more serious conditions than sinus congestion that needs immediate treatment: high fever, double or reduced vision, swelling around the eyes, pain when moving eyes, severe headache, stiff neck that is painful to move, or significant or recurrent nosebleeds. Before your doctor suggests medications or other procedures, they will likely perform a visual test. Looking into your nasal passages with a lighted scope will let your doctor see any irritation or surface level problems with your nasal passages. If necessary, your doctor may refer you to an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor. If your doctor recommends this test, they will prick your skin with small needles containing various allergens. If you show an allergic reaction to any of the prick points, then that will let your doctor know that you are sensitive to that particular allergen. This is helpful because it will let you know that you need to avoid pollen, for example, while you might be able to tolerate other kinds of potential allergens. For an allergy blood test, the idea is similar to that of a skin prick test. If your doctor recommends this test, know that the key difference is that rather than pricking your skin, your doctor will draw vials of blood to test for allergen sensitivities. This test is less accurate than skin prick tests, but it is still useful and widely used. Allergy blood tests are often used in children and others who might have complications or problems with the skin prick test. To get a clear image of what might be wrong with your sinuses, your doctor might recommend a CT scan. These scans generate an image of your sinuses, so your doctor can see if your issues are being caused by a physical problem like a deviated septum. If your doctor sees no physical problem, then they can rule out physical causes of your sinus problems.
A: Talk to your general practitioner. Have a visual inspection of your nasal cavity. Take an allergy skin prick test. Have an allergy blood test. Undergo a CT Scan.

Article: Your hormones have a lot to do with your monthly period, so it is important to take your cycle into account when beginning to use the cream to raise your progesterone levels. Your hormones are working as a team to trigger ovulation, so it's important to help balance the hormones.  You can chart your cycle by identifying the expected first day of your next period, then counting backwards two weeks (14 days) from then. This would be day 14 for a woman with a cycle duration of 28 days, or day 21 for another woman with a cycle duration of 35 days. The exact day will differ from woman to woman according to her calculations and and her cycle's usual duration. Generally, you will want to apply the cream twice a day, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Since you will likely want to apply the cream at home (so you don't have to tote it to work), you should choose two times when you are generally at home. Try to apply once in the morning, after your shower, and once at night, before bedtime. As with any medication or supplement, it can be very helpful to get into a routine when applying your progesterone cream. Make it a habit to apply your cream at the same time each day. Soon, the application will be second nature, and you will be less likely to forget a dose. If you learn that you are pregnant while using the cream, keep applying your normal doses. It is important that your progesterone levels do not drop early in a pregnancy, as that could result in loss of the fetus. Make sure to consult your doctor before you stop applying the cream.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Calculate your menstrual cycle. Pick the right time of day. Be consistent. Keep applying the cream if you become pregnant.

Article: Although bamboo has a rapid growth rate, you only need to prune it once a year if you do a really thorough job. Pruning your bamboo more frequently can actually cause it to send off more shoots. Mark on your calendar when to start pruning and coordinate it with fertilizing. Branches and leaves can cut your skin in a bamboo grove, so it’s a good idea to wear sturdy gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. Wearing sturdy gloves will also make it easier to handle and cut the canes. Nodes are where the pieces of the stem join together. You’ll see a slight bump or bulge on the stem shaft indicating this joining. To trim down the height of a bamboo plant, locate a node. Then, position your shears or plant saw right above it and cut across. Making your cut above the node also makes the pruning process easier, as these spots are less thick. Bamboo is very strong and if you cut it at an angle, it can be quite dangerous. Keep your cuts blunt and horizontal to minimize the risk. You should be able to use hand clippers for most cane. However, if the cane is rather large, opt for a pruning hand saw and extension.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Prune once a year in late summer or early fall to minimize spreading. Wear eye and hand protection. Cut above a node if you are trying to reduce height. Make straight cuts across the bamboo stem.
