Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Brush your pet before each car ride. Cover your seats with a blanket. Crate your pet in the car.

Answer: In order to prevent your pet's hair from getting all over your car, you should brush your pet thoroughly before each car ride. This will remove any loose hairs from your animal and can help to decrease the amount of hair your pet leaves behind. Depending on your pet and the breed, you should brush their hair regularly to manage shedding. Place a blanket or towel on the seats or floor of your car. This can help to reduce the amount of hair that will get into your upholstery. It is also much easier to remove the blanket from the car to wash it once it is covered in your pet's hair. Keep your pet contained in their travel carrier while you are in the car. This is not only safe for you and your animal, but it will also help reduce the amount of pet hair in your car. Place the crate on the floor or secure it to a seat using a seatbelt so that the crate can not roll around while you are driving.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your numbers early. Keep checking your numbers. Talk to your doctor about statin drugs.

Answer: When possible, it's a good idea to check your CRP sometime in your early to mid 30s, especially if you have an elevated risk for heart disease. Your doctor can check your CRP with a blood test.  Your numbers might be healthy while you're young, but by checking them early in your life, you'll get a baseline number that you and your doctor can use to help predict your future risk. For most adults, CRP levels lower than 1.0 mg/L indicate a low risk of heart disease. CRP between 1.0 and 3.0 mg/L indicate an average risk, and levels above 3.0 mg/L indicate a high risk. If you have an intermediate risk of heart disease, you should consult your doctor about regular CRP testing as you get older. Depending on your health and circumstances, it might be wise to test every five years or so.  Note that there are two CRP blood tests. One shows non-specific CRP levels that occur with general internal inflammation, while the other shows highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) levels. The latter measures inflammation within your blood vessels, so this is the test you'll need if you want to determine your risk for heart disease.  If you have arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or other autoimmune conditions, your doctor may need to give you an altered form of the CRP test since these conditions can raise your levels beyond the range used to assess cardiac health. When diet and lifestyle changes aren't enough to help drop your CRP levels, your doctor may recommend statin drugs. This is especially common for patients who also have elevated LDL cholesterol. Statin drugs have pros and cons, so you should carefully consider your options before opting for this form of medication. Some possible side effects include muscle pain, muscle damage, liver damage, digestive problems, rashes, increased blood sugar, and neurological effects.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Strengthen your arms. Strengthen your legs. Tighten your chest. Strengthen your back. Define and strengthen hips and waist. Firm your glutes. Tighten your calves.

Answer: Sit on your knees, keeping your back straight. Hold a 5 pound weight in each hand. Touch your elbows to your waist. Lift the weights by bending your elbows up, until the weights touch your shoulders. Slowly lower them. Going slow helps to build muscle faster. Do 3 sets of 20. Stand up with your feet more than shoulder width apart, so they are wide, but you still feel comfortable. You won't need your weights for this exercise (unless you really want to challenge yourself). Tighten your abs (stomach muscles), and jump. Land with your knees bent, feet together. To avoid hurting knees, try to land softly on your toes like a cat. Repeat with 3 sets of 15. Put your arms out in front of you, and your legs behind you, like an upside down V. Tuck your head and keep your legs very straight. Bend your elbows like you're in a push-up, and duck your head forward so your toes are holding everything about an inch off the floor (very, very hard to explain). Do 15 total, or 3 sets of 5. Lie on your stomach. Have your arms be straight out in front of you, as your legs are straight behind you. Lift your arms and legs off of the floor. Hold for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, increasing as you get better. Squeeze your butt muscles for a body blast! Do a total of 3 times. Lie on your back. Raise your legs so your thighs are going straight up, knees are bent, and calves are pointing away from you. Put your hands by your head, elbows pointing out. Touch your knees to your elbows. This also helps your abs. It's like doing crunches. NEVER put your hands behind your head as this will strain your neck and could lead to back problems.  Do 3 sets of 15. Glutes are the muscles in your butt. Lie on your back with your feet pressed on the floor. (your legs will look like an upside down V). Put your arms straight down, parallel to your body. Raise your hips, squeezing glutes. Lace fingers together under hips. Hold 2 minutes. This is one of the easiest and best leg exercises. Stand with your legs slightly apart, but not too far out. Slowly rise on your toes and then come back down again. Do 3 sets of 20.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply a post-emergent herbicide in May. Fill in bare spots with the desired turf. Reapply the herbicide after 4-6 weeks. Mow the lawn frequently. Water the lawn only when it shows signs of water deficiency. Fertilize the lawn once or twice per year.

Answer:
The first application of herbicide should take place when the bahiagrass is small and just beginning to grow. Choose a post-emergent herbicide to kill the actively-growing grass. Spray the herbicide on your lawn as per the package directions. Post-emergent herbicides are available at your local lawn and garden shop.  Use metsulfuron to kill the bahiagrass without harming a bermudagrass lawn. Use metsulfuron, sethoxydim, or atrazine to kill the bahiagrass without harming a centipedegrass lawn. Use atrazine to kill the bahiagrass without harming a St. Augustinegrass lawn. Use imazaquin or metsulfuron to kill the bahiagrass without harming a zoysiagrass lawn. As the herbicide kills bahiagrass, bare patches will be left on your lawn. To ensure that these areas aren’t infiltrated with other weeds, promptly fill them in. Use plugs or sprigs of sod, rather than spreading seeds, for best results. To ensure that all the seeds, rhizomes, and plants are eradicated, you’ll need to apply the same herbicide again. Wait at least 4-6 weeks after the first treatment, then apply the herbicide to your entire lawn again as directed by the package instructions. The herbicide should not harm your existing grass or the new sod patches. It’s important to mow the lawn frequently to keep it healthy and prevent a re-emergence of bahiagrass. Use a sharp mowing blade, as dull blades produce brown-edged grass. Keep bermudagrass and zoysiagrass at a height of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm), centipedegrass at a height of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.1 cm), and St. Augustinegrass at a height of 2.5 to 4 inches (6.4 to 10.2 cm). Don’t cut more than one-third of the grass height at a time, or the roots may stop growing. For instance, if you want to keep your grass at a height of 2 inches (5.1 cm), cut it when it reaches 3 inches (7.6 cm) tall. Watering too often can cause bahiagrass and other weeds to flourish.  Wait until your lawn turns bluish-gray, holds footprints for more than a few minutes, or until the soil is dry and hard. Apply 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of water to the entire lawn, then wait for it to dry out before watering again. Regular lawn fertilization will prevent the bahiagrass from growing back. Use a complete fertilizer, such as 12–4–8, 16–4–8, or 18-24-6, once or twice per year. You can do a home soil test to determine when your lawn needs to be fertilized. The numbers of the fertilizer refer to how much nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, respectively, it contains.
