Article: Clean up manure, old bedding and spilled feed. If needed, you can spray your manure pile with insecticide to keep larvae from developing. Build proper drainage systems and eliminate buckets of standing water. Cover your pool or pond at the peak of horse fly season. Horse flies can find a suitably moist and cool breeding ground in tall grasses and weeds. Insects sometimes also retreat to shady vegetated areas during hot parts of the day. To avoid this, keep your grasses trimmed and weed on a regular basis, especially along ditches. A barn, stable or doghouse will give your animals a place to retreat when horse flies are bothering them outdoors. Make sure that windows and doors are screened to prevent horse flies from entering.  The fly population should be minimal at that time, which will prevent horse flies from flocking toward the animals' wounds.

Article: It doesn’t have to align perfectly with the guest’s name above it. You can play around with the design and have the name and address align to the same left indent, align to the same right indent, or have each line be centered on the envelope. Just plan ahead for this since different addresses will be different lengths and require different amounts of space. For ease of delivery, avoid spelling out the numbers in the address. For example, write "5 Oak Lane" rather than "Five Oak Lane" Do not abbreviate any words in the street name, including directions like “North” and “South” and words such as Street, Avenue, Boulevard, Road, etc. Do not abbreviate the state. For example, you would write "15 East Main Street, Buffalo, New York." Use the numeric form for the zip code (i.e. 40001) and determine where you’d like to put it. In the U.S. it can be placed immediately after the state or just below it. It should be centered and written in the same ink that is used on the front of the envelope. The return address should be the same on every envelope so that you can more easily keep track of all the responses.

Article: Ski parks post signs that tell you the difficulty level of each slope so you can stick to runs that fit your skill level. Look for signs at the ski park you are at to see what system they use.  Common slope ratings go from green circle (easy) to black diamond (hard). If you can’t find a sign with slope ratings, don’t be afraid to ask an attendant what the rating system is or what some good slopes are for beginners. You will not be an expert on your first run, so don’t try to tackle the biggest slopes in record speed when you start skiing. Use the wedge or snowplow technique to keep yourself moving at a slow speed until you master slowing, turning, and stopping. Stop on the hill if you feel like you are picking up too much speed. You can start again and finish the hill. Be sure that you stop on the side of the trail, so other people can avoid running into you. Coming to a complete stop is one of the harder things to get used to when you begin skiing. To keep yourself and others safe, practice stopping long before you get to the very bottom of the hill.

Learn about slope ratings. Go slow while you get the hang of it. Start slowing down before you get to the bottom.
