INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do not mix your urine-stained or affected clothes with your regular laundry. It's best to keep them separate until the stain is removed. Add this to your regular detergent and machine wash as usual. Alternately, instead of baking soda, you could add 1/4 cup to your load along with your regular detergent. If it's nice and warm outside, take the item and place it in the sun. Sunlight and a light breeze can be very effective at removing and neutralizing odor.

Enzymatic cleaners are available at pet supply stores, home supply stores and big-box stores like Walmart.

SUMMARY: Place all soiled items in washing machine. Add a one-pound box of baking soda. Air dry items if possible. Machine wash again if smell persists.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: As with any surgery, risks are involved. The most common problems that develop from oral frenuloplasty occur very rarely, but include the following:  Excessive bleeding Infection at the surgical site Damage to the tongue Damage to the salivary glands Scarring of tissue at the surgical site Possible allergic reactions to the anesthesia drugs used Reattachment of the corrected frenulum after the surgery, causing recurrence of the original problem This type of problem is usually identified at birth, and the corrective surgery is usually done in infants and young children. Your doctor can discuss other options with you, if there are any available.  In some situations, the surgery is practically mandatory. When the frenulum is short and thick, and tethers the tip of te tongue to the floor of the mouth, the only option is to proceed with surgery to allow the tongue to move in a normal manner. The condition interferes with the infant or child’s ability to eat, suck from a bottle or breast, speak normally, swallow, as well as causing problems with normal tooth and gum development. Other problems may include difficulty with maintaining good oral hygiene, any activity that involves using the tongue like licking a cone of ice cream or licking the lips, and playing some types of musical instruments. If your child is younger than three months, the procedure may possibly be performed in the doctor’s office. For infants and children older than three months, most doctors recommend general anesthesia. In children, and since the procedure takes only a few minutes, anesthesia done by a method called IV sedation may be appropriate.  Your surgeon will advise you regarding the safest form of anesthesia to use in your child. Both general anesthesia and IV sedation have specific instructions that must be followed beginning at least eight hours before the procedure, and often start the night before.  Follow the instructions provided by your doctor. The main directions will be regarding restrictions of both food and water for a specified number of hours before the procedure, usually beginning at midnight on the night before the procedure is scheduled.  The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes. Depending on the severity of the condition, a few stitches may be needed.
Summary: Understand the risks of surgery. Ask your doctor if the surgery is needed. Have the surgery in your doctor’s office for infants. Ask your surgeon about anesthesia.

. Once you have clarified the areas that require improvement, focus on goal-setting. Grab a pen and notebook. Head each piece of paper with a specific goal -  personal and professional. Then, write down several action steps you must take to reach the goal. Finally, set a feasible deadline that is attainable but still challenges you. For example, you may have a goal to pay down debt. This goal may incorporate several strategies, such as paying more than the minimum monthly payment towards debt, refraining from creating any new debt, and negotiating lower interest rates on credit cards or revolving accounts. Bad habits prevent us from fully reaching our potential. Some of them are more serious, such as drinking or smoking. Others are just bothersome to, like procrastinating or making weird noises. The best way to break a bad habit is to replace it with a more healthier, adaptive alternative.  Think about some of your bad habits. When do you engage in them? What triggers the habit? What purpose do they serve? For example, you may have the habit of procrastinating, but only when you feel overwhelmed or stressed. You feel bogged down by everything, so you put it all off and do nothing. You can replace this bad habit with healthier stress management strategies such as learning to  manage time better, or  relieving stress through exercise or meditation. You don't have to wait until you reach goals or break bad habits to move closer to being your ideal self. Whether you want to get a promotion at work or gain membership into an elite organization, learn to look and act the role you desire to play. Looking and acting the part can translate to dressing like the people who already have the position you want to obtain. You may also strive to  maintain a more professional demeanor in your interactions with others. On an ongoing basis, you should take a step back and examine your progress towards reaching your goals and building better habits. If you are not satisfied with the changes you have made, go back to the drawing board and create new goals to work towards.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This may seem difficult at first, but it’s the first step to recovering from computer addiction. Remember that you don’t need to stop using the computer altogether, just set reasonable limits for now.  You can set a limit by setting a timer. When it goes off, close and turn off your computer. Walk away and go do something else. You can ask family, friends, or roommates to help you enforce the limit. They might take the computer away from you for designated periods of time or make sure you’re staying away from it during designated hours. Try making more activities for yourself. The busier you are, the less time you have to go on the computer. Ask friends or family how much time they think is reasonable for you to spend on the computer each day. Try to limit your computer time to two hours or less. You may need a computer for work or for school. If this is the case, use the computer as much as you need to for those particular applications. Otherwise, put it away.  You can uninstall programs that aren’t necessary to your work, such as games or software for entertainment. You can ask friends or family to set a password or “parental controls” to block you from accessing websites or programs that aren’t related to your work. Depending on the nature of your computer addiction, you may benefit from limiting where you use the computer. For example, if you only use the computer in a public place, you may refrain from behaviors that are easier to do in private, such as cybersex, online gambling, or watching movies. You can commit to only using the computer in the kitchen, at the library, in a coffee shop, or at a friend’s house. Write down the dates, times, and duration of your computer usage. Also write down the way you were feeling before, during and after each session of computer use.  By writing down your feelings before a computer session, you can help identify things that trigger your computer usage. Once you’ve identified the triggers, you can avoid them to help avoid computer use. If avoiding the triggers is impossible, you can choose another activity to replace computer usage. Overcoming an addiction isn’t easy, and it requires a plan. You may try a simple plan, such as quitting cold turkey; however, it’s more likely that a slower, more methodical plan will be successful for computer addiction.  Establish how much and how often you’d like to continue using the computer. Establish what kinds of activities are acceptable to continue doing on the computer. Create a calendar for overcoming your addiction. You may want to wean yourself off of the computer by using it for one hour less per day each week.

SUMMARY:
Limit your time on the computer. Only use the computer for necessary tasks. Limit where you can use the computer. Keep a computer usage diary. Create a plan for modifying your behavior.
