INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you can adjust the thermostat to any temperature without increasing the energy used, keep the heat pump set at a constant temperature. Keep doors open in your home to circulate the air from your heat pump. Set the temperature higher while you are gone so it is not continually burning energy. Moisture in the air can make a room feel hotter than it actually is. Set the heat pump to dehumidify so it can remove moisture from the air inside your home. The setting on your heat pump may refer to this setting as "dry mode." Use the fan option if you want to only circulate the air in your home rather than bringing in cool air from the outside. This option is cost-efficient and air flow can cool down your space. Your fan will run on a low setting once the temperature on your thermostat is reached. Cooling will restart once the temperature changes again. Heat pumps set on auto will switch between heating and cooling periodically throughout the day, and it will use more energy over time. Check on the unit to ensure auto mode is turned off and that it is set on "cool." Auto-fan is a different setting that controls the fan speed inside your pump. This setting is okay to use.

SUMMARY: Keep the pump on the "cool" setting at 78F (26C) for the best efficiency. Turn on the dehumidifier option to remove humidity. Use the fan only option to reduce energy use. Don't use auto mode.

If you're noticing your hair thinning, your stress levels could be to blame, and you might not even be aware of it. Taking steps to minimize your stress could create a significant change in your hair's health. Take some time to think about what stresses you out the most, then decide whether to remove the stressor or to learn new coping techniques. You can't always eliminate stress, but you can change how you deal with it. When you feel stressed out, try practicing deep breathing exercises, go for a run, or try a relaxing activity like yoga or meditation. Practicing mindfulness, where you focus on what's physically around you in the moment rather than worrying about things you can't change, is also an effective technique for managing stress. In some cases, you might be able to make changes that remove the stress from your life. For instance, if you're constantly stressed out about your job, you might consider changing careers. If there's a person in your life who makes you feel stressed, it might be better for you to spend a little time away from them. It's not always easy to get all the nutrients that your hair needs to grow, so help your body out by taking supplements.

Other hair-friendly supplements include ingredients like biotin, niacin, amino acids, and collagen. Some medications that create hormonal imbalances can cause your hair to fall out.

SUMMARY: Eat foods rich in protein, vitamins B, C, D, and E, and zinc. Minimize your stress Take a hair-boosting supplement if you need more nutrients. Check the side effects of your medications if you notice hair loss.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You need to start with your cube in the solved position to make a checkerboard pattern. Also known as a chessboard, your Rubik's cube will have a checkered pattern on each side when you are done. Begin by looking at the green side of your cube. Turn the right side of the cube two clicks forward. The three green squares should end up on the opposite side of the cube. Then, still facing the green side take the left side of the cube and turn it two clicks forward as well. Keep the green center cube facing you. Then, turn the top row clockwise by 180 degrees (two clicks). Turn the bottom row 180 degrees as well. With the green center block still facing you, turn the front face of your cube by 180 degrees (two clicks), as if you are turning a dial. Turn the back side of your cube by 180 degrees as well. You've now created a checkerboard on all sides of your cube.

SUMMARY: Start with a solved Rubik's cube. Turn the sides. Turn the top and bottom. Make your final spins.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you know or suspect that your cat has been stung by a bee, you should quickly assess whether your cat is having a reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Take your cat to the vet or animal emergency room immediately if you see any of the following symptoms: Rapid or labored breathing Facial swelling Pale gums or mucous membranes Vomiting (especially within the first 5-10 minutes after the sting) or diarrhea Weak or rapid heartbeat Collapse Bee stings are a little different from wasp or hornet stings, and you will need to take a slightly different approach to treatment depending on what kind of insect delivered the sting. If you saw the insect that stung your cat but are not sure how to identify it, you may be able to narrow it down with a visual guide like this one: https://www.southribble.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Bee-wasp-and-hornet-leaflet.pdf Wasps do not usually leave their stingers behind when they sting, but bees generally do. If your cat was stung by a bee, you will need to find and remove the stinger. Bee venom is acidic, while wasp venom is alkaline. It is better not to try to neutralize the sting with an alkaline substance (like baking soda) or an acid (like vinegar) unless you know for sure what stung your cat. Look for signs of swelling, redness, or tenderness. If your cat has been stung in the mouth or throat, or if you suspect that your cat has been stung multiple times, take your cat to the vet immediately.

SUMMARY:
Check for signs of a severe reaction. Try to determine what stung your cat. Determine where your cat was stung.
