Hormones also reduce the risk of bone fractures. While hormone therapy may help reduce hot flashes, it has also been connected with a variety of severe medical issues, such as breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Be sure to do thorough research and ask your doctor a lot of questions before choosing this option. Some women find that antidepressants help mitigate the symptoms of menopause. If you would prefer not to undergo hormone therapy, this might be the right option for your needs. The most effective treatment is hormone replacement therapy.

On the back of your LCD TV are holes that correspond to the screw holes on the mounting plate. If there are already screws in the holes, remove them so you can attach the plate. They may also be covered in plastic if you just bought your TV. Fit the screws through the screw holes of the mounting plate and into the corresponding holes on the TV. After you slide the screws through the slots, attach the nuts to the screws and tighten them so the mounting plate is flush against the back of the TV. The mounting plate will support the TV on the bracket, so make sure the nuts are tight on the screws! Give the mounting plate a good shake to make sure there isn't any movement. If there is, tighten up the nuts on the screws. Pick up the TV and hold it up to the mounting bracket on the wall. Align the mounting plate on the back of the TV with the slot that the plate will fit into on the bracket. Use another person to help you hold the TV up against the wall. Depending on the mounting plate and bracket that you have, you may need to slide the plate into a slot on the bracket. You may also need to screw the mounting plate to the bracket. Check the manufacturer's instructions to make sure you're connecting the plate to the bracket correctly. A cord cover is a plastic track that mounts directly to the wall on top of the wires to hide them. Use screws to mount the base to the wall beneath your TV and lay the cords inside of them. Then, snap the plastic cover in place on top of it. Choose a cord cover color that blends into your wall so it's less noticeable. You can remove the top of the cover at any time if you need to adjust or add additional wires.

Belt sizes and lengths vary depending on the brand and style, so it's important to get a perfect fit. First, check the user manual for your washing machine to see if it specifies the part or size you need for your belt. If you can't find it listed in the manual, search online for the brand and model of the washing machine so you can find the right belt that fits. You can buy replacement washing machine belts online or from specialty hardware stores. Don't try using a belt made for another machine, or else it may not fit or work properly. The drum pulley is the large circular part that connects to the machine's drum. Make sure the belt has the smooth side facing outwards and the grooved side facing inward. Loop the belt over the drum pulley so it fits into the grooves going around it. Let the belt hang loosely from the drum pulley for now. Don't try to loop the belt around the motor pulley yet since it will most likely be too tight to position correctly. Hold the belt tightly against the drum pulley so they make firm contact with each other. Feed the end of a zip tie through a hole in the drum pulley before securing the end in the clasp on the other side of the zip tie. Pull the zip tie tight so it holds the belt in place against the pulley. You don't need to use a zip tie, but it makes it easier to stretch a tight belt that's hard to install. Locate the motor pulley, which is the small circular part connected to the machine's motor and spins the belt. Pull the end of the belt tightly so it stretches around the motor pulley and fits into the grooves. It's okay if the belt hangs loosely from the drum pulley for now as long as it stays in place where you put the zip tie. Consult with the owner's manual if you have trouble determining which part is the motor pulley. Open the door of the washing machine and reach inside to hold onto the drum. Slowly spin the drum clockwise to rotate the pulley. As the drum spins, the belt will align itself on the pulley and become tight. Keep spinning the drum until you make 1 full revolution to ensure the belt stays in place. The drum will get more difficult to turn as the belt stretches on the pulleys. You can also try spinning the drum pulley itself, but it may be more difficult. Spin the drum until you position the zip tie in a place that you can easily reach. Carefully slide one of the scissor blades underneath the zip tie, and squeeze the handles together to cut through it. Pull the zip tie out from underneath the belt carefully so the belt doesn't slip off of the pulley. Don't leave the zip tie inside your machine since it could cause the belt to slip or cause damage. Be careful not to cut the belt, or else it could snap off more easily.
