Problem: Article: When buying artist-grade acrylic, oil, or watercolor paint, look at the colors carefully. You may notice that some of the blues have more of a greenish tint, while others have more of a purple tint. You may also notice that some of the yellows have more of a green tint, while others have more of an orange tint. Choosing the wrong shade of blue or yellow will result in a murky, muddy yellow.
Summary: Know that artist-grade blue and yellow paint come in different shades.

Problem: Article: It’s rarely advisable to leave large amounts of food out for your dog to eat throughout the day, but naturally derived foods have the added concern that the meal will rot. Typically, adult dogs need to be given food weighing two to three percent of the ideal weight for their breed split between two feedings a day. If you have an active dog, you may want to feed them more or higher calorie food, and for your “couch potato” pup, less is more. Most dogs need about the same amount of key nutrients. However, certain breeds need higher or lower levels of nutrients than others. For instance, large dogs are prone to joint and muscle issues, so low calorie foods to keep them at a healthy weight are essential. Additionally, foods that include inflammation reducing, joint health supporting supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin may be a good option.  Ask your veterinarian if there are any breed-specific nutritional requirements you should know about. Find information online about your dog’s breed, and use that to make a more informed dog food purchase or to make a well-rounded meal at home. If your dog has just been weaned, you’ll need to feed them specially formulated puppy foods and feed them much more frequently than adult dogs. For senior dogs, those who are age seven and up, the converse is true. They will need far fewer calories, and may only eat once a day. Pregnant or nursing dogs will need to eat higher calorie foods, and may need to eat more frequently. Typical adult dogs should be fed a low calorie, high protein diet twice a day.  Puppies need to take in food equivalent to two to three percent of their ideal adult weight, and they need to be fed four to six times a day in the first six months. From six months to a year, continue to feed them the same quantity of food and gradually reduce feeding times to twice a day. By one year, your puppy should be ready for adult food and feeding guidelines. Continue to offer them the same quantity of food (two to three percent of ideal body weight) over two feedings. From age and seven and up, reduce the calorie content of your dog’s food and consider adding more supplements that support immune function and joint health include prebiotics and glucosamine. While most foods that are fit for humans to eat can be digested by dogs, there are some that will make your pup sick. These foods include raisins, grapes, onions, garlic, chocolate, macadamia nuts, coffee, and tea. Talk to your veterinarian about other foods that may be harmful, and make sure you exclude these from your pup’s diet.
Summary: Develop a feeding routine. Find out about breed-specific health requirements. Learn how age affects your dog’s food needs. Keep a list of foods that are unsafe for dog consumption.

Problem: Article: In a small microwave-safe mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together 2 tsp (10 ml) brown sugar, 1 tsp (5 ml) honey, and 1 tsp (5 ml) water. The honey and sugar should create a very effective "wax" for your eyebrows. This option will still be as painful as a conventional waxing kit, but it's useful if you don't have the waxing kit at home and don't wish to buy one. Microwave the ingredients on high for about 30 seconds, stirring in 10-second intervals with a spoon. It should bubble and look brown.  Do not microwave the mixture too long, however. If you make it too hot, it can turn hard and unusable. Using the mixture before it turns brown and bubbly can cause it to stay too thin, though, which will prevent it from working correctly. It should reach a temperature just a little warmer than room temperature. At this point, the wax should also be fairly thick but still soft. Use your finger or a thin spatula to apply the homemade wax to the section of hair getting removed. Hold a brush up against the side of either nostril and identify the point of your brow vertically equal to this placement. That point is where your eyebrow should begin in the center of your face. Press a clean rag against the gooey wax, covering as much of the wax as possible. Flannel, cotton, and similar materials should all work. Just make sure the fabric is clean before use. Let the wax harden and cling to the fabric for 30 to 60 seconds, then quickly rip the cloth away in one fast, fluid motion. It should remove the wax and any attached eyebrow hairs. If there are additional hairs left behind, you might want to consider tweezing them instead of repeating the wax procedure to minimize irritation. Place a pea-sized dab of hydrocortisone cream over the waxed area to sooth any irritation. You can also cool the area with a little ice and apply an antibacterial cream to minimize the risk of breakouts or ingrown hairs.
Summary: Combine brown sugar, honey, and water. Microwave for 30 seconds. Let the wax cool slightly. Apply the wax to your unibrow. Apply a cloth strip. Rip it off. Apply hydrocortisone cream.

Problem: Article: Most recycling centers accept used tires. Simply load up your used tires and haul them to the closest recycling center in your area. You may also want to call first to ensure that they will take the tires before you make the trip. If you don’t know where the closest recycling facility is, you can try searching online. There are many environmentally-friendly online sites that have gathered the information to make it easier for you to access recycling options near you. Some companies specialize in cleaning up the waste caused by excess tires by recycling old tires and using the materials to create new, eco-friendly products. You can dump your tires at one of their processing facilities and feel confident that they will be reused in an innovative, eco-friendly way. Search for such companies online and see if they have facilities near you. Some communities host tire recycling events that rotate around to new locations. These initiatives are intended to help minimize the negative impact that waste tires can have on the environment and the community by providing easily accessible recycling opportunities for residents. If you’re not sure whether your area has waste tire events, you can try inquiring at your local landfill, recycling facility, or Department of Public Works. Most tire retailers will collect used tires from customers for a small fee – usually between $5 and $20 USD, depending on the size and quantity of the tires. The retailer will take the tires off your hands and make sure they get to a proper recycling facility. Remember that not all auto shops and tire retailers will accept used tires, so you should probably call first before you load up your used tires and drag them down to the shop.
Summary:
Drop them off at a local recycling facility. Take your used tires to a specialty tire recycling processing center. Look for a waste tire event in your area. Pay a tire retailer to take them for you.
