Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid having sex. Don’t use vaginal douching products. Stay away from scented soaps, bubble bath, and bath oils, as these may irritate your vagina, or alter the balance of healthy bacteria in your vaginal area. Avoid using strong detergents when washing your underwear. Use unscented tampons or pads.

Answer: Although BV is not a sexually transmitted disease, and the link between sexual activity and BV is not well understood, sex is often associated with women who have new or multiple male or female sexual partners. Although there are few cases of men infecting women with BV, practicing safe sex by using condoms is still important to avoid transmission of various sexual diseases.  Transmission of BV is more common in women having sexual intercourse with women because vaginal discharges and cervical mucus are exchanged when having sex. There is no best way to circumvent this unless you let BV fully recover or you practice total abstinence. Using a latex-free condom or dental dam during sex for the first month after completing the antibiotic treatment for BV has been shown to reduce the risks of BV recurring. Thoroughly clean any sex toys to prevent spreading the infection or even reinfecting yourself. Douching is a procedure that washes the internal vagina using water and vinegar or other douching products sold in drugstores and actually gets rid of the good bacteria. It can cause more infections and may increase the harmful bacteria in your vagina which greatly affects the normal flora causing more odor and increasing your risk for infection. It's an old practice that isn't scientifically viable anymore.  The vagina has its own self-cleaning behavior. The natural acidity in the vagina helps get rid of harmful bacteria. Douching will not affect a vaginal infection, and will likely make it worse. Soap of any sort can alter the natural balance of healthy flora in your vagina. Instead wash your genitals well with water, using your hand.  It's okay to use mild soap and water to wash the outer region of the vagina. Using hot tubs and whirlpools may also have a negative effect on your vaginal health. It's a good idea to limit the use of hot tubs if you're trying to prevent BV from recurring. Strong detergents contain chemicals that come in direct contact with your vagina causing disruption of normal flora. It changes the acid-base balance in the vagina that will alter the normal pH level. Use milder detergents in washing your underwear and rinse them thoroughly.  The best laundry soap for underwear will be free of fragrance and softeners. If you get hot and sweaty, change out of your stale underwear promptly. Changing your underwear only once a day might not be enough if you live an active lifestyle. Scented tampons or pads may aggravate the vaginal area. In addition, you should change your tampon often. Keeping a tampon in longer than the recommended number of hours can result in increased risk of bacterial vaginosis.  Alternate between wearing tampons and pads for the duration of your period. Only wear pads and liners if you need to, as they can prevent entrance of air into the genitals making the area warm and moist. This becomes an inviting environment for bacteria to thrive in.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Abide by your school’s dress code. Have a good attendance record. Go to class on time. Be where you’re supposed to be.

Answer: If your school has a uniform, make sure you wear it to school every day and it’s clean and wrinkle free. If your school doesn’t have a uniform, you still want to dress in a clean and respectable manner. Read your school’s official dress code so you can avoid accidentally violating it. Avoid unexcused absences and try to limit the days you miss school for being sick. Not only does missing school look bad on your part, it also prevents you from fulfilling your prefect duties. Other students will notice if you’re frequently coming to class late, so set a good example and arrive to class on time. If you have a genuine reason for being late, make sure you get a note and hand it to your teacher when you arrive to class. Don't hang out in the hallway or leave school grounds when you're supposed to be doing something else. As a prefect you should be available and easy to find if students or faculty need you. If you're attending boarding school, make sure you're in your dormitory when you're supposed to be so that students can come to you if they need anything.

Answer: Boyfriend jeans are baggy and comfortable, making them perfect for a weekend running errands. However, they’ll look sloppy if you just pair them with a slouchy T-shirt. Try wearing your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans with a ruffled top, instead, for an instant dose of off-duty style! You can dress the look up or down by wearing sneakers, flats, loafers, or even heels. Make this look your own! Try wearing a ruffled T-shirt under a pair of overalls, then toss on comfy canvas sneakers, for instance. If the ruffles on your blouse create a lot of volume, you can help create a sleek silhouette by opting for slim-fitting pants on the bottom. If your top is long enough, or if you’re wearing  a dress, you may even be able to wear leggings as bottoms in place of pants. For instance, if you’re wearing a long tunic top, you might add a pair of leggings and knee-high boots for a pretty cool-weather look. If you love a breezy, feminine outfit, try wearing a flowy, ruffled peasant top with a pair of silky wide-legged pants and sandals. This look is perfect if you’ll be outdoors in warm weather, since you’ll stay cool while still looking put-together.  Opt for wide-legged trousers, a structured blouse with a ruffle detail, and loafers or pumps if you want to make this outfit more appropriate for work. Make this look a little more daring by opting for an off-the-shoulder ruffle. You can wear ruffles anywhere! Ruffled swimsuits are a great way to show off your style, and you can follow the tips for flattering your figure to find a swimsuit that’s perfect for your body!   For instance, a swimsuit with a diagonal ruffle across your chest can help make your bust look larger.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mark each wire in the switch box. Disconnect the wires from the old switch. Connect the wires to the new switch. Double-check that the switch is properly oriented. Carefully push the wires back into the box and then push the switch up against the edge of the box and tighten the mounting screws into place. Replace the switch plate and tighten the screws into place. Return to the breaker box and turn the power to the light switch back on.

Answer:
A dimmer switch allows you to control the brightness of a light fixture. Use a marker or colored tape to uniquely label each wire so you can tell them apart.  Mark the wire connected to the brass screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the brass terminal as the “hot” wire. Mark the wire connected to the silver screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the silver terminal as the “neutral” wire. Finally, mark the green or copper wire connected to the green screw terminal (on the other side of the switch from the brass and silver terminals) as the “grounding” wire. The switch may have either screw terminal connectors, which will be located along the side of the switch, or push-in connector holes, which will be located at the back of the switch.  If the wires are connected to screw terminals, turn each screw counter-clockwise with a screwdriver to loosen and slide the wire out with a pair of needle-nose pliers. If the wires are connected to push-in connectors, the holes that the wires are pushed into will typically have a small slot beneath the hole. Insert a small screwdriver into the slot and push forward to release the wire. Most dimmer switches come with wires already attached. You will see two black lead wires and one green grounding wire.  Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each to expose the wire. Pair one of the black lead wires to the black hot wire in the switch box. Pair the other black lead wire to the white neutral wire in the switch box. Pair the green grounding wire with the bare or green grounding wire in the switch box. Wrap the ends of the paired wires together and secure with a wire nut. You should see the word “top” written on the switch indicating the side of the switch that should be vertically oriented toward the top.  Do not over tighten the switch plate, since it may crack under too much pressure. Go back to the new switch and flip it on and off several times to ensure it’s in working order.
