Problem: Article: Many people who are drawn to cosmetic / plastic surgery don't stop at a single procedure. Doctor's know this and try to combine procedures sometimes for convenience and some cost savings to you although the overall price is higher, of course. However, bundling surgical procedures, especially at different areas of the body (breast implant with liposuction, for example), significantly increases the risks of life-threatening complication. Motivation to make money is strong in some doctors, but don't let their packaged deals convince you. Get another procedure once you're properly healed from the first. Ask for a "returning patient discount" on subsequent procedures instead of trying to get them all done at once. Another way of saving or recouping your money is through referral fees. As such, refer a friend or family member for a similar procedure if you're happy and get a referral fee from the doctor. Wherever your surgeon plans on operating on you (their own clinic, an independent out-patient clinic or a hospital), make sure the facility is accredited. Your safety during surgery also depends on the anesthetist and support staff working alongside your surgeon, so accreditation is some more piece of mind. Accredited operating rooms and surgical units have key life support systems just in case something goes wrong during your procedure. For accreditation, look for AAAASF, AAAHC or JCAHO operating facility certification. Don't forget about your anesthetist's qualifications. They should be either a Board Certified Anesthesiologist (BCA) or a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). To reduce your risks during your surgical procedure, make sure to follow all the advice and recommendations from your doctor, particularly what you're supposed to do the day before and the day of surgery. As such, choose a surgeon who is communicative with you and easily understood. If English is your native tongue, make sure the doctor can speak English or has a translator. Ask the doctor if they have any brochures or pamphlets that you can take home and read in order to get better informed. See if the doctor's office is open extended hours or has methods of communicating and answering questions after hours.
Summary: Avoid combining multiple procedures. Check if the surgery facility is accredited. Follow all recommendations clearly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mortar and pestles are usually made in a matching set. The mortar is a small bowl and the pestle is a wand with a curve that's perfectly shaped to grind smoothly against the mortar. The instrument may be made from wood, stone or ceramic, and you'll want to choose your material based on your culinary needs and personal preferences. Ceramic mortar and pestles are capable of grinding spices very finely, but they're also more fragile than other types. Wood mortar and pestles are durable, but they're also slightly porous, and subject to stains. It's also possible for the flavor of one spice to stay present in the mortar between uses, tainting the flavor of the next spice you grind. Stone mortar and pestles also grind very finely, but unless they're conditioned properly, fine particles of stone can get ground into the spices. Do you want to crush large amounts of spices, seeds, and nuts, or only small amounts? You will find varying sizes from palm size to bowl size, and it may even be handy to have two different sizes if you have the space and budget for it. If you plan to grind a very large amount of spices, getting a spice grinder may be more suitable for your needs. A mortar and pestle is best for just enough spices to create whatever dish or spice mix you immediately want to use.

SUMMARY: Pick the right material for your needs. Choose the size you want.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Each memory foam mattress lists its density in the product information. High-density foam is defined as above 5 (2.27 kg) and especially 6 lbs. (2.72 kg). This mattress will feel quite firm at first, but it will adapt to your body to relieve pain and pressure points. Lasting about 8-10 years, it's the best choice for those looking for durability, although it will cost more. Mid-grade foam is defined as 4 to 5 lbs (1.81-2.27 kg). This option should also provide you with a durability of about 8-10 years, and it may be more comfortable and less costly than high-density foam. Low-density foam, normally 2 to 3 lb. (0.91-1.36 kg), will likely feel more comfortable when you lie down, as you'll sink into the layer. While this foam is less expensive than higher density options, it's also less durable. You may have to replace it within 4-6 years. The ILD is another important indicator of firmness. Low ILDs will give you a soft and comfortable surface, while highers ILDs create resistance and support for your back. You generally want lower ILDs (10-11) for the top layers and at least one layer with a higher ILD (20-40) to prevent low-back pain. Memory foam is a temperature-sensitive material that softens as it comes in contact with your body heat. This is what gives it the ability to contour to your body, but the foam can also get overly hot at night. Many memory foam mattresses now offer top layers made with different materials to increase ventilation and keep you cool. Gel memory foam increases the air circulation in memory foam, providing a cooler surface. This option also offers increased and more balanced support for your back. This may help relieve chronic back pain. Be aware that the gel memory foam will be cool at first, but it will heat up to match your body temperature over the course of the night. Gel layers may only help you fall asleep. Natural latex foam maintains the same general softness and support as memory foam, but does not have its temperature sensitivity. This will likely prevent you from experiencing the cloud-like feeling that comes from memory foam. However, natural latex will not cause you to "sleep hot," and it won't give off any chemical odors. CertiPUR-US is an American-based non-for-profit program that prevents foam from including harmful metals, chemicals, ozone depleters, or dangerous gas emissions. Most mattress companies will advertise that their products have received this certification. While companies from all over the world can be CertiPUR-US-certified, the certification adheres to American standards. These standards are comparable with the European-based Eco-label. The density of latex and memory foam mattresses already inhibits the spread of allergy-causing dust mites. The bamboo cover will supplement this resistance, as bamboo is naturally dust and mildew resistant. Before you decide on a product, check out previous buyers' experiences to avoid falling into a consumer trap. Reviews will provide you with information about the relationship between the cost and the overall comfort and quality of the mattress.
Summary:
Pick high-density foam for firmness and durability. Choose medium-density foam for a compromise. Go with low-density foam for softness and a lower cost. Check the ILD rating of each layer in the mattress. Look for memory foam mattresses with cooling layers. Choose gel memory foam for a cool surface and good support. Pick natural latex foam to avoid the drawbacks of memory foam. Avoid harmful chemicals by checking for CertiPUR-US certifications. Choose a bamboo cover for hypoallergenic protection.
