Q: Seeds, buds, or pieces of bindweed roots could be present in a variety of soil, seed, hay, or feed mixes. Check the ingredient list before purchasing these products to ensure you don’t inadvertently introduce bindweed into your lawn or garden. The best way to keep bindweed from getting out of control is to pull it out as soon as you see it. Young shoots are much easier to get rid of than established vines. Take time each week to scour your garden for bindweed. Carefully dig out the roots and the plant from the soil and dispose of them. Bindweed flourishes when the soil is out of balance, has pH issues, and/or has high levels of magnesium and potassium. Add humus materials (like decayed plant matter), calcium, and phosphorous to your soil to amend it. Adjust the soil pH so that it fits into the recommended range based on the vegetation you are growing.
A: Avoid purchasing soil, seed, hay, or animal feed containing bindweed. Pull bindweed weekly. Ensure your soil is healthy.

Q: If you are under the age of 24 and your parents live in a different state, you have to be able to prove that you aren't dependent on them in any way for your support. Typically, you must also be able to prove that your parents are no longer claiming you as a dependent on their taxes.  Generally, you are considered a dependent if your parents or legal guardians provide at least 50 percent of your financial support. Even if you have your own place, this would include things like paying your rent or other bills. You won't be considered a dependent if you are still on your parent's health insurance, provided they provide little other financial support. If you're over the age of 24, you typically don't have to prove your financial independence. However, some students under the age of 24 are also exempted from proving financial independence. There are exceptions if you:  Are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces; Are married; or Have legal dependents yourself, such as children. You also don't have to prove you aren't a dependent if both of your parents are deceased or if you're a ward of the court. If you have to prove financial independence to claim residency in a state, you'll need official documents that show your income and ability to pay your own bills. Acceptable documents include:  Tax returns; Bank statements; or W-2 forms. Some states will still allow you to claim in-state status even if you receive financial aid for school. However, any financial aid or loans you receive must be in your name alone.
A: Show that you are not dependent on your parents. Review the exceptions for demonstrating financial independence. Gather documents to prove you pay your own bills. Limit using loans or other financial aid to subsidize your expenses.

Q: They are odd things, but if they work at it, these types of things can work on top of the therapy sessions, and are something the child will probably *want* to accomplish, and will help them gain muscle functionality. Piano relies heavily on fine motor skills, and also works on the brain. Add to this the self-esteem boost when the child plays a new song, and there's hardly a reason to not do it. These can improve balance, motor skills, self-esteem, and confidence. The teachers can also help with behavioral issues.
A: Get your child with CP to hop on one foot, or play with a ball, or other such activities. When the child is old enough, enroll them in a piano course. On top of Piano and common sports, try to get them to do something like Gymnastics, or Karate.

Q: This is usually touted as the easiest way for pure beginners to learn how to stop on ice skates. Begin by skating slowly forward, on a straightaway, with no obstacles or turns before you. As you glide, turn one skate at a 45 degree angle. Let it hang behind the other skate to create friction. Bring the dragging skate up into the instep of the leading skate. Make sure to keep your dragging skate in contact with the ice as you do this. You may need to apply some pressure. Lean back slightly, and tip your weight into the direction you're coming from. Keep your shoulders straight, pointing forward. Let your arms hang at your sides. Keep your weight on the rear foot, creating friction, until you slowly come to a stop.
A:
Try using the "T" stop at first. Drag one skate back. Pull the back skate forward. Shift your body weight to the dragging skate.
