If you feel pain, tenderness, or discomfort when you push the hernia, stop pushing and call for medical help. Hernias can block blood flow within the abdomen which can cause a medical emergency. Pain can indicate: A hernia that's become trapped in the abdominal wall. A hernia that's become twisted and strangulated, which cuts off the blood supply. If this happens, tissue dies and can cause gangrene. While you can push a hernia back in and use a support to relieve discomfort, surgery is the only permanent treatment for hernias. Discuss whether you'd like to consider this as an option. Keep in mind that most hernias are not medical emergencies, but they can become medical emergencies. There are no medications to treat a hernia. Your doctor may recommend putting you under general anesthesia and performing open surgery. With this traditional approach, a surgeon opens the abdominal wall and repairs the hernia before closing the wall. Or, your doctor may recommend laparoscopic surgery in which small fiberoptic tools attached with a camera repair the abdominal wall. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive although you'll also need to be under general anesthesia. Recovery time is much shorter than with open surgery. After surgery, take pain medication and gradually return to your normal activity level within 3 or 4 days. You might feel sore or have nausea (from the anesthesia) which will wear off after a day or two. You should avoid strenuous activity like lifting until your doctor approves. Ask your physician when you can resume activities like sex, driving, and exercising.

Make sure the timer unit that you purchase has the same number of stations as you need for your sprinklers. It's okay if the unit has more stations that you need, but will not work if you have less. Most units come with 6-12 stations built into the system. Hang the top of the timer on the mounting screw already attached to your wall. Tighten the screw inside the unit with a screwdriver so the timer is held securely to the wall. Find the mounting hole near the bottom of the timer and attach another screw there so the unit is sturdy on the wall. If you're mounting on drywall or concrete, use anchor screws to hold your timer securely. If the unit plugs directly into the wall, make sure the cord can reach the outlet. Push the wires through the bottom opening of the new unit so they're in the access panel. Put the wires into the stations that match their label. If the unit has screw connections, hold the wire underneath the head of the screw, and tighten the screw with a screwdriver until it holds the wire securely. If your timer has tab connections, press the tab down with a screwdriver and feed the wire into the port. Release the tab so it has a tight grip. If you have a white wire, attach it to the port labeled "Common." Locate the black, white, and green power wires in the unit and match them with the power wires that run out to your sprinklers. Twist the ends of the wires of matching colors together so the current can run between them. Cover the exposed ends of the wires by twisting wire caps on top of them. If your wires are in an outdoor timer unit, make sure to use waterproof wire caps. Reconnect your sprinkler timer to power by plugging it in or turning on the circuit it's connected to. The display on your timer may flash for a few seconds before turning on completely. Turn your controller to the manual setting to test each sprinkler connection. Make sure the sprinklers are all operating correctly. If the sprinklers aren't working, turn off the power again and check for loose wire connections inside the unit. Go into the settings of your timer and set the current time and date so your sprinklers will run at the correct times. Turn the dial to "Set Watering Start Times" or select it on your display and change the time when you want your sprinklers to turn on. Then set how long the sprinklers will run during that watering session. You can choose to let your sprinklers run every day or pick specific days of the week. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your model to learn specific details on how to set the schedule. If your timer uses a wi-fi connection, you can set the program from your computer or mobile device.

Pour 1 cups (350 mL) of distilled or filtered water into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of food-grade oil and 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of liquid soap or baby wash. Stir everything together with a whisk until the ingredients combine. You can also use plain water, but be sure to boil it for 2 minutes first, then let it cool. Great types of oil include: coconut oil (melted), grapeseed oil, olive oil, and sunflower oil. If you don't have any food-grade oil, you can use baby oil instead.

This will depend on what your situation is. For example, if you did poorly on a single assignment, ask to redo it for partial credit. However, if you have a C- in the class and want to have it raised to an A- just by redoing a few assignments, your teacher will most likely say no; instead, offer to do a lot of extra credit to prove how motivated you are. It might not shoot your grade up to an A, but it'll certainly help. Instead of just doing your homework, highlight important parts and write neatly, and especially make sure that everything is legible and it doesn't look like it got mangled with by a prizefighter. This may add a few extra points, since many teachers count neatness as part of your homework grade. If you are turning in a report, it may be helpful to purchase a report cover to further demonstrate your care for your final product. Consider trying to mark someone's work whose handwriting is all but impossible to read. Think about how much extra time this must take. Sometimes opportunities for extra credit will not be so obvious, so it's important to be on the lookout and to be visibly keen. Teachers will be impressed by someone going the extra mile. Not only will you score extra credit marks, but you can make a lasting good impression on your teacher. If any of these things seem unlikely to work on your teacher, don't try them. It will be a disaster. Follow steps you're comfortable with and change/skip those you aren't. You know your teacher best, and, believe it or not, they know you too. Although extra credit can be extremely helpful, it's not meant to make up for your faults. Extra credit is designed to help bring students who have been trying in the past to further bring their grades up. It's unlikely that a teacher will assign enough extra credit to change an F to an A.
