Shearing is the act of maintenance where you simply trim the outermost twigs to control length. Thinning is where you cut and remove branches throughout the shrub. Thinning is generally preferred over shearing, as exclusively shearing will encourage dense growth on the outer edges of the plant and keep sunlight from getting to inner branches. This can create a transparent or hollow look which is considered less desirable than a full, even growth....

Think back to the incident that is at issue in your lawsuit. If you were in a car accident, for example, identify the people who saw the accident. This group could include passengers in your car, bystanders, or passengers in the other car. Get a copy of the police report and read it. Witnesses might be identified in the report. Reach out to the witness and ask if they can meet you....

If you have a problem with your work environment, such as an abusive boss or coworker, make sure the person with whom you speak is not involved with or connected to the situation. Explain your reasons for wanting to leave immediately, and see if any accommodations can be made. For example, you may be allowed to work out a notice by working from home. However, if your work is not the type of thing you can do remotely, such as if you work on an assembly line, this may not be an option....

Some pH test kits require you to fill a small tube with pool water and add drops which change color based on the pH. For example, the color of your test strip might show the yellow of a banana. According to your product, this means the pH level is 7. 2. You’d want to raise the pH by a minimum of . 2 and a maximum of . 6. For a rectangular pool, the formula is length X width X average depth X 7....

Race participants will often be limited by specifying the horses’ gender, age, and record. These class specifications will be listed in the race conditions. Alternatively, you will see an alpha-numeric code to the right of track name and above the race conditions. These codes are used to convey most of the information included in the race description. That makes it possible for experts to quickly scan the header for race information....

Similarly, your map can tell you which places to avoid because they’re inauspicious and don’t support your personal goals. Astrocartography is an old concept, but was officially “invented” in the 1970s by American astrologer Jim Lewis. Lewis devised a systematic way to generate astrocartography maps based on planetary movements at the time of a person’s birth.

When you hold the ukulele up to your body to play, the G string will be the closest to your head, and the A string will be the closest to your waist. Try not to touch any other strings with your fingers, as this can cause them to make sounds while you’re playing. Keep in mind that the numbers don’t correspond with which finger you’re supposed to use. You can use whichever finger feels natural to you to press the string into the fret....

Sometimes it’s relaxing to switch off the lights, hit the bed and just lie there, looking into the dark space around you. The essence of barely seeing anything around you, and having no one see you at that moment will really allow you to reflect on the day (or not reflect), and think and feel anything that naturally comes to you. Make a point of relaxing your face while lying there....

Inflammation and redness might occur after some pain at the point of infection.

If you have the key saved as a text file, you must manually open the file on a separate computer to see the recovery key. Alternatively, reinstall Windows using an installation disc. First, your PC will download the Windows installer (if there is not one built into Windows RE). Then, your PC will run the Windows installer. The installer will erase your drive and install Windows onto your PC. Finally, you will be prompted to complete initial setup, which should not be so hard, especially because Cortana guides you through setup on the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) and later....

Some ectopic pregnancies are eliminated by the woman’s body. If your ectopic pregnancy is very early and you have no negative symptoms, your doctor may recommend “expectant management” or “active monitoring. ” With this process, you wait for approximately a month, with frequent doctor supervision, to see whether your body can resolve the ectopic pregnancy without additional treatment. In general, this approach only makes sense when your hCG (a hormone produced during pregnancy) levels are low and declining, and when you have no symptoms....

Your doctor may end up recommending you wear the boot or cast for longer. Always wear it according to your surgeon’s postoperative directions. Your surgeon will likely tell you to stay off your feet for everything but getting up to use the restroom and eat. You should also keep the foot and bandage completely dry to reduce the risk of infection. Podiatrists and surgeons will typically prescribe custom orthotic shoe inserts before ever performing plantar fasciitis surgery....

The easiest way is to put a block of cement, bricks or books under the feet of your bed near the side of your head. If that’s not an option, you can invest in plastic or wooden bed risers that support bed posts or legs. There are also “bed wedges” that you can put between your mattress and box spring, or on your mattress under the sheets. Alternatively, you can use a therapeutic wedge pillow to simulate an elevated bed....

The bag helps contain the water from the melting ice cube. If you are concerned about the water leaking, double bag the ice.

You can also hold the bag of ice against the gum....

This will give you an idea of your home’s “moisture profile. " Humidity that is too high is not healthy. It negatively affects your health and can cause mold problems along with structural issues around your home....

This method is preferred if you have a very minor peel that isn’t exposing a lot of drywall. This repair won’t last forever, but it will keep smaller issues from getting worse. If a length of tape longer than 1 foot (0. 30 m) is coming off, consider replacing it entirely. If you’re worried about creating a mess on your floor, put a drop cloth down under the area that you’re patching....
