INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some pain is expected when braces are first put on your teeth. If, however, you are still experiencing intolerable pain after a few weeks, you may want to visit your orthodontist to check in and ask questions. If the pain from your braces is too intense, it is possible that they are too tight. Having tighter braces does not necessarily mean that they will work better or that your teeth will straighten faster.  Ask your orthodontist’s opinion about the tightness of the braces. Sometimes, there are short ends of wires on the braces that will protrude and rub against the inside of your cheek. These can be extremely uncomfortable and cause mouth sores. If you have these, ask your orthodontist to snip the ends off of these wires, and you should feel immediate relief. Your orthodontist might be able to prescribe a stronger dose of ibuprofen for you if regular over-the-counter medications don’t seem to be working. Your orthodontist might also recommend other treatments, such as a bite wafer. This is a product that you bite on for a few minutes several times every hour. The motion of biting helps generate blood circulation in your gums, which can ease pain. Your orthodontist may have recommendations that will help you figure out your specific case and pain management plan. They have worked with many different people and have seen a number of different remedies that have worked for patients.

SUMMARY: Give your braces a trial period before visiting the orthodontist. Ask your orthodontist to loosen your braces. Have your orthodontist snip protruding wires on your braces. Ask for prescription strength medication or other treatment. Ask for additional strategies for reducing pain or discomfort.

One common instance in which people need to prove residency is when they are applying to study at college. The requirements will vary so you have to start by asking the financial aid office how long you must reside in the state to be eligible for in-state tuition. Most state colleges require one year of residency, but others only require three to six months. Use the online list to find your college. You should be sure to have your residency situation clarified with your college well in advance of the start of the semester. This will mean you can avoid stress and problems with fees when you are beginning college. If you haven't proven your residency by the date of your enrolment you may have to pay non-resident tuition fees. The most important thing is to provide the official required documentation for your state or college, but there are other ways to demonstrate an intention to establish residence. For example, opening a local bank account, registering a vehicle in the state, or getting a local library card, are all ways of indicating your intention to remain. These are not substitutes to the official requirements, but you can use them to supplement and strengthen your claim. As well as considering your residency and ties to the state you are applying in, you should be aware that your relationship to another state can be taken into consideration. If you have demonstrably strong ties to another state this may harm your claim to residency in the state you are applying in.  For example, if you own a house in another state, have a driver's license or are registered to vote in a different state, the assessor may question your intention to maintain or establish permanent residency. These are not conclusive factors, but should be taken into account.

One-sentence summary -- Contact the college to which you want to apply. Clarify your residency before your enrolment date. Know what else affects your claim. Understand what may harm your claim.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hanging your birdhouse from a branch or from your home is not recommended, as birds do not like when birdhouses sway in the wind. If there are poles or natural structures in the area, mount the birdhouse to one of them. Mounting it to an existing metal pole, or drilling it into the side of a barn or wood building are both great ways to set up a birdhouse. Mounting the birdhouse to an existing metal pole also protects the birdhouse from predators. Although this is not a necessity, birds are more attracted to birdhouses that receive natural sunlight in the mornings. Facing the birdhouse toward the east will also keep it from getting too hot in the afternoon, especially during the summer months or in hotter climates. Mounting the birdhouse at this level will make it easier for you to clean it out when necessary, and will also keep it away from most predators. Do not hang or mount your birdhouse lower than 5 feet (1.5 m), but feel free to mount it as high as 12 feet (3.7 m). The height range depends on the bird, so keep track of which birds are able to reach your birdhouse and make adjustments if need be. Keeping your birdhouse safe from weather will ensure that it lasts and that the birds are protected from rain or snow while they visit. Whether you hang the birdhouse or set it on a pole, keep it under some kind of existing overhang to prevent it from being damaged.

SUMMARY:
Mount the birdhouse to a pole or to the side of a building. Face the birdhouse east. Keep the birdhouse at least 5 feet (1.5 m) off the ground. Hang or set the birdhouse under an awning, roof overhang, or eaves.
