Q: Parts of the fireplace can break or wear down, and it's important to note these before the fireplace malfunctions or causes an emergency fire. While the fireplace is cool, open the damper (seal at the top of the fireplace) and inspect the flue (opening connecting the fireplace to the chimney). The flue should be open and clear of obstructions. Examine the hearth to make sure no bricks are damaged or missing, and that the firebox—the interior of the fireplace—is not cracked or damaged. If you're more comfortable letting professionals inspect your fireplace and chimney, call a local chimney sweep. They will inspect both inside and outside of your house, and inform you if any cleaning or repairs are needed. The chimney cap is at the very peak of the chimney: a small, plate-sized lid that is attached to the top of your chimney pipe to make sure that no small animals or debris fall down the chimney. If it becomes clogged or broken, smoke will not be able to exit the chimney and could back up into your house. Make sure that the cap is in good condition, and is free from cracks, ash buildup, or birds' nests. Since you'll need to climb on top of your roof to do this, make sure to observe safety precautions. Firmly ground your ladder before you begin to ascend. Even if the chimney cap is clear, ash can still build up on the inside of the chimney pipe itself. This presents a risk, as excess buildup can catch on fire and lead to a dangerous and chimney fire. If your chimney has excess internal ash buildup, during summer months, smoky-smelling air can be drawn through the chimney into the house.  To clean a chimney, you'll need a specific set of pipes and brushes that you should be able to purchase at your local hardware store. If you prefer not to clean your own chimney, a local cleaning or maintenance service should be able to do the job for you. Also inspect the chimney flashing (the seal between the chimney and roof). This should be tight and not show any signs of damage or wear. Even if your fireplace seems to be in good shape and has been inspected regularly, you need to be aware of fireplace warning signs. You may smell smoke in the room while a fire is burning, notice damaged wallpaper on the wall by the fireplace (or “hot spots,” where the wall adjacent to the chimney is intensely hot in certain places), or begin to notice rust around the damper or firebox. If you see any of these signs, call a chimney sweep or local fireplace-inspection service before lighting your next fire. You may experience downdrafts when using your fireplace. A downdraft is caused by air rushing down your chimney and pushing smoke and ash out from the fireplace into your home. Your chimney cap should prevent downdrafts, but if they occur frequently, inspect the chimney cap and make sure there are no branches overhanging the top of the chimney, as these can interfere with proper airflow.
A: Inspect your fireplace every two years. Keep the chimney cap clean. Clean your chimney annually. Be aware of signs of potential problems with your fireplace.

Q: If you're starting from zero, shooting out the front door and onto your first 10k will leave you frustrated, angry, and so sore you never do it again. In other words, don't bite off more than you can chew. If you start running with no prior exercise habits, you'll probably end up hurting yourself and quitting before you ever really started. The simplest thing to do would be to start walking. But it can be anything -- as long as you're getting physically active on a regular basis, your body will be able to handle the impending pavement pounding. Go hiking, swimming, or dancing. If it's fun, all the better! Some research suggests that barefoot running leads to fewer injuries than running in running shoes, even the fanciest ones. However, you're probably not going to be running barefoot anywhere, unless it's after chasing a kid or a meatball that rolled away unexpectedly. So look for a shoe that can simulate running barefoot. If you're willing to rock those toe shoes (Vibrams), more power to you, but there are many minimalist running shoes that do not have toe sleeves. A good pair of shoes should not disrupt the way you run. Keep your head in a neutral position, not looking up or down. Look approximately 35 feet in front of you if you're running a distance of more than 400 meters. If you're on a treadmill, try not to look down at your feet or the controls too much; it puts tension on your back. Voila! You're running! See you soon.
A: Establish a base level of fitness. Get a good pair of running shoes. Look ahead. Start jogging in place, then lean forward from the hips.

Q: Zika symptoms are often mild and they only last for around a few days to one week. Symptoms of the Zika infection may include:  Fever Nausea and/or vomiting Headache Muscle and joint pain Red eyes (conjunctivitis) and/or pain behind the eyes A rash Serious coughing One of the major challenges of recognizing a Zika infection is that most infected people have no symptoms at all. The Zika virus is transmitted by a bite from the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is the same type of mosquito that can also carry Dengue Fever and Yellow Fever. The time-frame for developing symptoms is usually three to 12 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. If you develop symptoms of Zika, they will occur within this time-frame. However, keep in mind that a lack of symptoms does not mean that you do not have Zika. The only sure way to determine if you have Zika is to have a blood test. Zika has symptoms that are similar to dengue fever and chikungunya, so even a doctor cannot diagnose you without performing a blood test.
A: Recognize the symptoms. Keep in mind that many people do not show symptoms. Consider timing. See a doctor for a blood test.

Q: To highlight multiple cells, click the top left-most cell of the data, then drag your cursor down and to the right until all cells are highlighted. A menu will appear. The name of this option varies by version. It's either on the top or side of the window that popped up. It's on the side of the window. Click the down-arrow next to the “Decimal places” menu to display the list of numbers, then click the one you want to select.  Example: To round 16.47334 to 1 decimal place, select 1 from the menu. This would cause the value to be rounded to 16.5. Example: To round the number 846.19 to a whole number, select 0 from the menu.  This would cause the value to be rounded to 846. It's at the bottom of the window. The selected cells are now rounded to the selected decimal place.  To apply this setting to all values on the sheet (including those you add in the future), click anywhere on the sheet to remove the highlighting, and then click the Home tab at the top of Excel, click the drop-down menu on the “Number” panel, then select More Number Formats. Set the desired “Decimal places” value, then click OK to make it the default for the file. In some versions of Excel, you'll have to click the Format menu, then Cells, followed by the Number tab to find the “Decimal places” menu.
A:
Enter your data series into your Excel spreadsheet. Highlight any cell(s) you want rounded. Right-click any highlighted cell. Click Number Format or Format Cells. Click the Number tab. Click Number from the category list. Select the number of decimal places you want to round to. Click OK.
