Problem: Article: You will be working with chemicals that you should avoid breathing in. A basement, garage or outdoor driveway will provide a good place to work and keep chemical fumes out of your living space. You can also wear a mask to avoid breathing in fumes. If you must work in your living space, open as many windows and doors as possible and run a fan to ventilate the space. Use a drop cloth to protect the surface or floor you are working on. Leather dye can stain many surfaces, so make sure your floor is covered before you begin. It's best to dye cushions separately from the couch itself, also over a drop cloth. You can also use old clothes or rags if they completely cover the space under your couch. Remove any dust or dirt that is on the leather using a cloth and soapy water. Use a mild detergent. Do not soak the couch, as this can warp the leather. Lightly rub it with a cloth that you dip in the water and wring out. You can try to get any stains out of your leather at this point. If they are light, the dye will probably cover them up. However, dark, noticeable stains might make your final dye job look uneven. White vinegar or rubbing alcohol can get rid of most stains. If there is any part of your couch that you do not want to dye, such as wooden or metal hardware, cover it with painter's tape. Place the tape as close to the edge of the leather as possible. If you need to, cut the painter's tape to a smaller size to make it fit in any small nooks and crannies. Most leather furniture will have a protective coating to seal in dye and protect the leather. You can remove this, along with any lingering oils, by using a clean rag to rub deglazer or acetone into the surface of the couch. It will evaporate almost immediately, leaving your leather clean and ready to dye. Some of the original dye may rub off of the leather as you deglaze it. You can buy leather deglazer online or at most hardware stores. Use acetone (not nail polish remover) for a less expensive but equally effective solution. Avoid using products with alcohol or mineral spirits, as these will dry out the leather.
Summary: Carry the leather couch to a well-ventilated workspace. Place the couch on top of drop cloths and take off any cushions. Clean the entire couch with soapy water. Protect any wood or hardware with painter's tape. Deglaze the leather using a deglazer or acetone.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: On a mat or a blanket, sit comfortably with your back and neck straight. With your palms open to the sky, place your hands on your knees. Then, take a deep breath in. Kapal Bhati Pranayama literally translates as "the shining forehead." When practiced regularly, Kapal Bhati Pranayama can increase your metabolic rate, which can help you reduce and control your weight. It also stimulates the abdominal organs, and it can improve the functioning of your digestive tract. As you exhale, pull your navel in toward your spine. You may keep your right hand on your stomach to feel your abdominal muscles contracting. Don't over exert yourself; pull your navel in as much as you can. The exhalation technique is active and forceful. Try throwing out your breath by using your abdominal muscles to forcefully push out your breath. As you relax your navel and abdomen, your body will naturally inhale. Repeat this process 20 times to complete one round of Kapal Bhati Pranayama. Two to three rounds of Pranayama is sufficient. Remember to keep your awareness on breathing out.

SUMMARY: Sit in comfortable position. Exhale and pull your stomach in. Relax your navel and abdomen.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Only a trained, qualified medical professional should attempt to transport a bedridden person. Do not attempt to do this at home or in a medical setting if you are not trained and qualified to do so. Before you start moving the person, you need to make sure they are aware of what you're doing. Tell them exactly what you're going to do and why (they need to be transported) before you start the process of transporting them. In addition, talk to them as you perform each step so they know what to expect. If the person is able to sit in wheelchairs for short periods, you may be able to transport them yourself. To begin, make sure the wheelchair is next to the bed with the seat facing you. The side of the wheelchair should be close to the bed. The wheelchair needs to be stable and ready for the person to sit. Set the brakes so that the wheelchair doesn't move around. Pull the footrests up towards the wheels so that the person has a clear path to the seat. When trying to move someone, you also need to protect yourself, particularly your back and legs. Make sure you keep your legs shoulder-width apart with your knees bent. Also, don't bend at the waist. Rather, keep your spine in a natural position. Keep in mind that it can take some strength to move someone. Have someone assist you if you're not sure you can do it by yourself. If the person can't sit up themselves, you'll need to help lift them to sitting. Place an arm behind their back. Place your other arm under their knees, looping it in so you can pull them towards you. Turn the person's lower body towards the edge of the bed while simultaneously lifting from the top. You should end up with the person sitting up with their feet on the floor. Let the person sit for a moment, as the process can make them dizzy. Place your legs around the patient's outside leg (the one not near the wheelchair). Keeping your back straight, bend at the knees. Grasp the patient by placing your arms under theirs, going around the chest. Grasp your own hands in the back. Lift the patient up. if needed. If the person cannot support their weight at all, you should use a Hoyer lift to transport them. Start by placing the sling under the person by rolling them to one side and positioning it under them. Adjust the leg loops around the thighs, crossing them underneath for security. Move the lift into place. The legs position under the bed, while the top of the lift (the cradle) moves over the bed to attach to the sling. Push the lift in as far as it will go. Do not lock the brakes. Attach both sides of the sling to the appropriate sides of the cradle. Once the sling is attached, lift the person up slowly until they are just above the mattress. Swing their legs out towards the lift to clear the edge. Gently move the person away from the mattress, lowering the bed if you need to do so. Turn the person towards the seat. The patient should try to provide as much support as they can with their legs. Lower them gently when they're legs hit the edge of the seat. Tell them to grab the arms of the wheelchair to help if they can. A gait belt can give you something to grasp. You put it around the patient's waist and then use it to help lift them. If you're using a Hoyer lift, position the person over the wheelchair using the lift. Gently lower them into the wheelchair. A van with a wheelchair lift will work best. However, in a car, you can do a similar transfer as you did to the bed. Lift the person, in the same way, setting them down on the seat of the car. Place one arm behind their back and one arm under their legs to pivot them into the car. Help them buckle in.
Summary:
Do not attempt to transfer someone unless you are trained and qualified. Tell the person what is going to happen. Place the wheelchair next to the bed. Ready the wheelchair. Brace yourself properly. Help the person sit up. Lift them from the bed. Use a Hoyer lift Lower the person into the wheelchair. Transfer the patient to a car.
