Problem: Article: Depending on the method of administration, there may be a wide range of cocaine-related paraphernalia. Because snorting cocaine is the most common method of ingestion, common paraphernalia items include:  hollowed-out pens straws rolled up money or money that appears to have been rolled up razor blades, credit cards, or ID cards, often with powdery residue on the edges Smoking cocaine typically requires a pipe, which may be made from glass or constructed out of aluminum foil. Look for:  small glass pipes  aluminum foil lighters empty plastic bags, including very small crack bags Though less frequent than snorting or smoking the drug, intravenous injection of cocaine is still a common method of administration. Look for:  syringes tourniquets, including belts and shoelaces spoons, which may have burn marks on the bottom lighters
Summary: Look for straws and tubes. Identify crack cocaine paraphernalia. Recognize evidence of intravenous drug use.

Problem: Article: The wider you make the armholes, the more of your body will be visible from the side. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider how large you want to make your armholes. Try a small cut and see how it looks on you before cutting too far down. You can always cut more, but you cannot put the fabric back after you cut it. For example, if you cut your armholes down to the middle of the shirt, then your ribs and the side of your abs will be visible. Don’t cut down too far if you are not comfortable showing off these muscles. You can simply cut around the neckline to widen it a little, or cut way outside of the neckline to widen it a lot. If you prefer a deep v-neck shirt, then you can also cut a V shape out of the front of the shirt. Try cutting close to the neckline and see how that looks first. The more of the neckline you cut, the more of your chest, back, and shoulders will be visible. Trimming off the hem is more for a uniform appearance than anything else, but cutting off the hem can shorten the length of the shirt by a little or a lot. Try cutting off the hem close to the seam at first to give the bottom of the shirt the same curved appearance as the arm holes. Then, give the hem a gentle tug to curl it up like the sleeves. If desired, you can trim the hem more to make it shorter.
Summary: Make larger armholes. Cut out the neckline. Trim off the hem.

Problem: Article: Another good way to loosen up stiff joints is by doing some gentle exercises. You can even perform some exercises while you’re still in bed.  For instance, roll your shoulders and ankles in small, slow circles, or reach as far as you can above your head. Once out of bed, stand with your feet together, your arms out in front of you, and your back straight.  Slowly twist from side to side. This exercise alone will engage most of the joints in your body, improving blood flow. Physical activity is extremely important, as keeping your muscles strong will help support your joints. Further, exercise will help you sleep better, maintain or achieve a healthy weight, and improve your mood and sense of contentment. Aim to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five times a week.  Try yoga, tai-chi and other low-impact exercise such as swimming or elliptical cycling. Swimming is one of the best exercise options for people who suffer from arthritis. Try an early morning swim whenever you are able, as this can help loosen up any lingering morning stiffness. Eliminate or reduce aggravating activity, such as stair climbing, prolonged sitting and intense jogging. Stiff, swollen joints also need to be treated carefully. While you need to exercise to keep muscles engaged and loosen your joints, you also need to allow inflamed joints to cool down. If unaccustomed to exercising regularly, start slowly with short a short walk or casual swim.  If a type of exercise makes your joints warm or swollen, remove it from your exercise regimen.  Further, don’t continue any exercise that cause site-specific pain in your joints. Alternate exercise activities to decrease the amount of repetition and overuse of the joints. See a physiotherapist for help establishing an exercise regimen that works for you.
Summary: Do range of motion stretches. Exercise frequently. Balance physical activity with rest.

Problem: Article: Give your hydrangea stems a deep diagonal cut across the bottoms. A diagonal cut will help minimize damage to the stem ends Cutting the stems under warm running water will help prevent potentially damaging air bubbles from forming on the stem. Place a bit of alum powder on a plate, about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) deep. Once your hydrangea stems are cut, dip each individual stem in the alum powder. Then place the stem in a vase with water and arrange the flowers. This will help the blooms thrive for a longer period of time. You should be able to find alum in the spice section of any grocery store. Once you’ve cut the stems, you’ll need to get your hydrangea in water as quickly as you can. Fill a clean vase up with 3 in (7.6 cm) to 5 in (13 cm) of lukewarm or room temperature water. Do not crush the stem ends, as this can prevent your hydrangea from hydrating. Hydrangeas actually absorb more water from their petals than through their roots and stems. If you have cut hydrangeas that you want to keep looking nice, you’ll need to gently mist the petals with water each day to keep them hydrated. Use a spray bottle with a gentle misting stream so as not to damage the delicate petals. Fresh water will help your hydrangea blooms stay properly hydrated, and prevent them from wilting as quickly. Remove your cut hydrangeas from the vase and discard the old water. Refill the vase with fresh room-temperature water. Rinse out the vase to remove any debris before adding the fresh water. For hydrangeas that have begun to wilt, fill the vase with 2 parts ice and 1 part water. This will help cool the plants down if they are overheated. You should start to see improvements after one day. Feel free to continue the ice/water treatment for several days in an attempt to revive your hydrangeas. If your hydrangea blooms begin wilting, you can give them a bit of life support by submerging them in a bowl of warm water for up to 30 minutes. Be careful when lifting the hydrangea back up, as the water can make them quite heavy.
Summary:
Cut the stems at an angle. Dip the hydrangea stems in alum spice powder after cutting the stems. Place the cut stems in lukewarm water immediately after cutting. Mist the petals with water once a day. Replace the vase water every day. Add ice to the vase if your hydrangeas wilt when exposed to high temperatures. Dunk the flower heads in warm water if they start to wilt.
