You and your dogs can easily bring ticks into the house from outside, so one of the best ways to prevent an infestation is to vacuum your home regularly. Vacuuming helps suck up live ticks as well as any eggs that might have come in on you or your dogs. You should vacuum your whole house, but also pay special attention to the areas where your dogs hang out the most near their beds or favorite nap and play spots. You can prevent ticks from getting into your yard by making sure any grass and plants are neatly maintained. Cut your grass frequently, avoid storing any of your yard tools near the edge of the yard in tall grasses, and trim plants and bushes often. If you and your dogs take frequent walks, try to avoid heavily wooded areas or areas with a lot of tall grass. These types of areas are ticks' natural habitat and taking your dogs through these types of areas almost guarantees your dogs will pick up some ticks.

One-sentence summary -- Vacuum frequently. Maintain your yard and garden. Keep your dogs away from heavily wooded areas.

People often don't know about a problem unless it's directly affecting them. If you know of a water crisis happening in a nearby community, get on social media to see how you can help. Look for ways to join people who are already taking action, or start your own group. Ask for volunteers on your social media page to help you start a group dedicated to helping a particular affected region. Ask people in surrounding areas to donate water in jugs to designated drop-off centers within the affected area. Contact companies and businesses on social media and ask them to donate or help transport water to areas that are running low. Start a fundraiser to benefit a specific non-profit that's working to alleviate a clean water crisis in a specific area. Organize a small concert, open-mic, or talent show where people have to pay for admission and you donate the door money to a specific group. The groups Blood:Water, Lifewater International, and Water for Good are groups that partner with underserved communities facing water crisis in Africa. Generosity.org brings safe water to areas in Haiti, Ghana, Uganda, and India. Convoy of Hope and the Flint Water Fund are organizations helping with the crisis in Flint, Michigan. Bring your knowledge about the global water crisis to people who want more information. Choose a place to host your event. Plan out the information you want to share and invite guest speakers who are knowledgeable about the subject to speak at your workshop. Once you have some guest speakers interested, get them to commit to a date for your event. Create flyers to advertise your event and hang them up nearby the event's location. Create an event page on social media and invite people to come. Consider providing some refreshments during the event by making them yourself or asking for donations from a local restaurant or cafe. Be sure to provide resources like pamphlets, phone numbers, and websites for various ways people can help after they leave your event.

Position the log horizontally in the carriage so that the blade can cut through its center. Slide the log down the carriage until one end is flush with the blade. Cut the log in half lengthwise, then turn the saw off. To maximize the amount of lumber you get from the log, you can now cut several wide boards from the bottom of one of the halves you just cut. Once you've cut the log in half, line one of the halves up along the blade. You will need to stand it up on its edge. Turn the saw back on and cut the half into 2 equal parts. Turn the saw off and remove these parts. If you haven't cut boards from the other half already, place the remaining half log back in the saw carriage, turn the saw on, and cut this log into 2 equal parts. Always double-check that the saw is turned off when removing cut logs from the carriage to minimize your risk of injury. Place a quartered section on the saw carriage. Orient the saw blade near the open face so that you can cut a board off of it of a predetermined thickness. Turn the saw on and saw off a board. For example, if you want boards that are 1in (2.5cm) thick, align the blade 1in (2.5cm) away from one side of the log. Slide the quarter back under the blade so that the blade is positioned to cut a board of the same thickness as the first, and then saw off another board. Repeat this last step until you have cut the log into as many boards as possible. Remember to turn the log 90 before sawing off each board. Use your quarter-sawn boards to build beautiful wood products! For example, you might build a cabinet or table, use long boards for flooring, or create small objects like boxes or cutting boards. Place 2 quarters next to each other. Then slide each quarter under the blade and cut the 2 quarters at the same time. Remove the 2 resulting boards. Pull the 2 quarters apart and rotate each quarter 90. Place the quarters back under the blade, then cut another 2 boards. Repeat this process until you have cut all of the boards you can from the quarters. Freshly sawn wood typically has quite a bit of moisture in it, so your boards will need to be dried before you can use them. Find a storage spot outdoors where you can stack your boards away from trees (which can drop leaf litter and twigs) or soggy soil. To create the best air flow, elevate your boards on cinder blocks and line them up side by side. If you have a lot of boards, stack them in layers separated by thin wooden slats, then weigh the whole stack down with more cinder blocks. Look for a spot where prevailing winds will blow through the side of the stack of lumber. Use a moisture meter to check the moisture content of the wood periodically. The goal is to achieve a moisture level of around 15-20%. Depending on the weather conditions and the original moisture content of the boards, it may take several months for the lumber to dry.
