Problem: Article: Flip your vacuum upside-down and locate the screws on the bottom of your machine. Unscrew the bottom plate to access the brush roller underneath. Some vacuum cleaners will have simple clips that you can turn or push in to release the bottom plate. Check the bottom of your vacuum to see what tools you need to remove it. Make sure your vacuum is unplugged before you make any repairs. The screws holding the brush roller in place are usually found on the sides, but it may vary between different brands. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the roller, and pull it out once it's completely loose. Some rollers may have a hidden screw on the side to connect them in place. If the roller doesn't come out right away, spin it by hand to check for any additional screws. As your vacuum picks up dirt and hair from around your home, it can wrap around the roller and prevent it from spinning. Pick out any large debris with your fingers first. Then, cut through the hair with a pair of scissors so you can easily pull it off the roller. Keep a garbage can nearby so you can throw out the hair and debris right away. Be careful not to cut the bristles on your roller or else your vacuum might not work as effectively. Hold the end of your vacuum over a garbage can, and use a soft-bristled paintbrush to dust out the inside of your vacuum. Cleaning out the leftover dust and dirt ensures your roller is clean and ready to use again. You can also use an alcohol cleaning wipe to clean out the inside of your vacuum. The alcohol will evaporate quickly without leaving a mess. Reposition the roller back in place and attach the screws so it's held tightly inside. Put the bottom plate back on before plugging your vacuum back in and turning it on. Check that the roller is spinning correctly. If the roller still isn't spinning, then the belt may not be working properly.
Summary: Take off the bottom plate of your vacuum. Unscrew the roller from place. Snip any hairs with a pair of scissors before pulling them off. Dust the inside of your vacuum to get rid of any other debris. Put the roller back inside your vacuum.

Problem: Article: These include: abdominal pain often starting centrally near your belly button and gradually shifting over a few hours towards the right side (this is the most worrisome sign that likely indicates appendicitis) nausea and/or vomiting (beyond what you may have experienced in conjunction with pregnancy) fever lack of appetite. The most reliable sign of appendicitis is pain that starts out dull in and around your belly button and, after a few hours, shifts over to the right side and becomes more intense. The "classic" appendicitis pain is located two-thirds of the way between your belly button and your hip bone (this spot is called McBurney's Point). If you have appendicitis and try to lie on the right side of your body, you will feel the pain more strongly. You may also feel pain when you stand or move. Some women experience pain when they stand because they have an overly stretched round ligament (something that can occur during pregnancy). However, that sort of pain goes away within a few moments. Appendix pain, on the other hand, does not go away, so this is how you can distinguish them. Women who are 28 weeks pregnant and up will feel pain right under the lowest rib on their right side. This is because as your child and your womb grow, your appendix gets moved. Instead of it being located between your belly button and right hip (in McBurney's Point) it will move up your abdomen so that it is pushed right below the right side of your ribcage. As you most likely know, vomiting and pregnancy go hand-in-hand. However, if you have appendicitis, you will feel pain first and then you will vomit (or the nausea and vomiting will be worsened as compared to what they were previously). Also, if you are later along in your pregnancy (after the initial vomiting stage has passed), nausea and vomiting are much more likely to indicate something else going on like appendicitis. When you have appendicitis, a low grade fever usually develops. A low-grade fever by itself is not too much of a cause for alarm. However, it is really the combination of fever, pain, and vomiting that should concern you. If you experience all three of these symptoms at once, you should go see your doctor. Both sweating and paleness can be brought on by the nausea and fever you have when your appendix becomes inflamed. You will also lose your appetite - this happens to anyone experiencing appendicitis, regardless of whether they are pregnant or not.
Summary: Know the common symptoms of appendicitis. Monitor any pain you feel. Be aware that you may feel pain higher up in your body if you are in your third trimester. Pay attention if the pain you feel is followed by vomiting and nausea. Be aware if you suddenly develop a fever. Monitor any paleness, sweating, or lack of appetite that you experience.

Problem: Article: The way you set up your store will determine the value your customers believe is available. Full racks and overstocking may reduce the amount of sales that you have, so decorate and display in a way that highlights your products. You will need to keep track of items, prices, consignment agreements, dates, returns, expenses and profits. It is a good idea to invest in a bookkeeping computer and software that will keep track of these important figures and your sales. Train anyone who is involved with the business's day to day affairs on the bookkeeping procedures. Since you are buying, selling and consigning at once, figures can easily become lost or confusing. Your success depends upon keeping track of all aspects of the financial details, so that you will know if you are running at a profit or a loss. Reconcile your bookkeeping on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly basis. Doing regular reviews will help you to deal with the large amount of information you are taking in in order to run your business. If you are passionate about researching the product and a good bookkeeper, you can adjust your business practices to bring in the most money. Focus on the product that sell the best and advertise for specific consignments in order to increase your merchandise base. If you are selling collectible items, then using an online auction house will help you to move more products more quickly. Be up front with all sellers about these practices, in order to ensure they are aware. Employees in a consignment store are often asked to take on consignments, so make sure they are well versed in what you are looking for and how to keep track of new items. Understand that your product may dictate when you sell the most, and reduce your quantity of consignments if they are unlikely to sell. For example, sports equipment may be more likely to sell in the summer and the types of clothing you consign will depend upon the season.
Summary:
Practice artful presentation. Setup a detailed bookkeeping system. Adjust your consignments according to what is selling. Consider selling on the Internet or eBay as well as in the store. Train your employees to recognize good products. Plan for seasonality and slow times.
