article: Most receivers have either preamp-in and preamp-out connections or tape monitor connections. In most cases, these are the best way to connect an equalizer to your stereo. Connecting to the tape monitor channels will require connection to only your receiver. Learn how to hook up an equalizer to the receiver instead. To run a signal from your stereo receiver to the equalizer and then to your amplifier, you will need 2 sets of RCA cable (the same kind that is usually used to connect source components like turntables and CD players). The length of the RCA cables should match the length of the distance between the receiver and the equalizer. Connect one pair of cables to the pre-amp output channels on the receiver and the other end of the cable to the left and right channel inputs on the equalizer.  You will usually find these channels on the rear of the equalizer. Right channel jacks will usually take the red colored RCA plug while left channel should take white or black RCA plugs. Connect the other pair of cables from the output channels on the back of the equalizer to the left and right input channels on the amplifier. Right channel jacks will usually take the red colored RCA plug while left channel should take white or black RCA plugs. The amplifier should remain connected to the receiver with an RCA cable between the amplifier outputs and the amp inputs on the receiver. This effectively creates a loop from the receiver through the equalizer and amplifier and back to the receiver. Turn on all three components and adjust the equalizer knobs according to your preferences. You should now be able to manipulate the controls on the equalizer to change the frequency response or tone of your music.

article: If your child is watching scary movies or TV shows, this might make them fearful of being alone at night. Allow them to only watch programs designed for kids their age. Try not to let them watch more than two hours of TV per day. Ten minutes before bed, say “Would you like to go to bed now or in ten minutes?” Though they are likely to choose ten minutes from then, giving the option makes them feel more in control of bedtime, which can cut back on nightly power struggles. Your child might fall asleep faster if there is some calming music to put them to sleep. Some children, just like adults, do not like to sleep in quiet atmospheres. Dig out that old cell phone of yours and download a lullaby app like Baby Shusher or Lullabies for Babies to play them as they drift off. Let your child know that they are not to get out of bed after you say goodnight. Though you should not punish your child for doing so, you need to be firm and hold tight to this rule. If they should break it, put them back in their bed and don’t allow them into yours. Don’t debate the rules with them if they they say they’re unfair. If they should want to get out of bed, remind them of how cool their room is. Doing so will encourage them to stay put.  Say, “Wow, if I were you I sure wouldn’t wanna leave this cool room. Look at that cool sticker on the wall and look at all these toys! This place is really fun.” If your child is used to playing in their room a lot, they may struggle to associate their room with sleeping. If this is the case, consider rearranging their room to clearly separate their playing area from their sleeping area. Consider having your spouse put your toddler to bed as well occasionally so that they get a chance to interact with both of you before bed. This can help to calm your child and help them feel more secure. However, be sure to stay consistent in your routines.

article:
Lubricate the tip with petroleum jelly or water based lubricant such as “KY jelly."  Lubricating the thermometer will make the experience slightly less uncomfortable for your dog.  If you have a digital thermometer, turn it on and make sure that it is in working order before inserting it into the rectum. Most digital thermometers can read in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Check your thermometer’s directions to figure out how to change the type of reading. Mercury thermometers should be shaken down to the end closest to the mercury tip before inserting to ensure the most accurate reading. The mercury thermometer may have both Fahrenheit and Celsius, you will have to check your particular instrument. Have the other person give the dog a “hug” by placing his or her left arm under the neck of the dog and using his or her left hand to hold the side of the dog's face against the shoulder. Your helper will then place his or her right arm under the belly of the dog just in front of the back legs to keep the dog standing.  It is not uncommon for a dog to want to sit down when they feel a rectal thermometer inserted. If your dog is comfortable lying down and stays there for the temperature taking, then you can leave them lying down. Sitting is not the preferred position because the rectum will not be easily accessible. Be careful not to insert the thermometer too deep, or too shallow, as this will affect the readings. Try to gently insert along the side of the rectum, particularly if there is feces present.  The anus is the opening into the rectum, which is a long tube that collects feces. The anus is a muscular sphincter that relaxes and opens to allow feces to leave the rectum. The sphincter can shut very tightly if the dog is painful or afraid. Avoid forcing the thermometer through the anus, but do aim into the middle of the pucker where you will find the least resistance for your well-lubricated thermometer. Remember to keep your hand steady and the thermometer straight. Be deliberate in your approach. This has probably been a very intrusive and stressful experience for your dog, so be sure to use a soft touch. Clean the thermometer off after use - rubbing alcohol works well.Remember, this is the doggy thermometer for rectal use. It should not get mixed up with thermometers you use for humans.
