You'll usually find the model "number", which is actually a string of digits and letters, on the back of the TV. Go to https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/remote_codes2 in your browser. This will bring up a list of current DirecTV remote models. If you'd rather program your remote automatically, skip ahead to the third part. If you have a Genie remote (models RC-73, RC-72, RC-71B, and RC-71), skip ahead to programming a Genie remote instead. You'll find your remote's model number listed in the top-left corner of the remote's surface. You only need to know the first two numbers that come after "RC" here. For example, your remote might say "RC66XR" here, but you only need to know that it's the RC66 model. On the left side of AT&T's remote page, click the link that corresponds with your remote model. Click Add New on the tab that names the item for which you want to program the DirecTV remote (in most cases, this will be the TV). For example, if you're programming your remote for a speaker system, you would click Add New on the "Audio" tab. In the "Brand" text field, type in the manufacturer for your TV. Below the text box, click the resulting TV brand that matches your TV's brand. It's at the bottom of the page. Type the model number of your TV into the text box at the top of the page, then press Enter. The DirecTV site will give you a series of codes that work for the specified manufacturer for most DirecTV users; write down the codes so that you can try them later. If no codes appears here, your remote cannot be connected to your searched TV or component. You may only see one code appear. Click More at the bottom of the code list, then write down any further codes that appear. Once you've exhausted the number of codes that are available, you can proceed with programming your remote via the code. You can keep clicking More until AT&T alerts you that there are no more codes that will work for your manufacturer.

Summary: Find your TV's model number. Open AT&T's DirecTV remote page. Check your remote's model. Click your remote's model number. Select a component. Enter your TV's brand name. Select the correct TV brand. Scroll down and click Enter my model number. Enter your TV's model number. Write down the codes that appear. Review more codes.

Because sarsaparilla bark was outlawed by the FDA a long time ago, commercial root beer is made with root beer extract. It's commonly available in homebrew stores for $3-$5, enough to make several batches of your own homemade root beer. The materials pay for themselves in the long run. Zatarain's is a common and cheap brand that's widely available, but experiment with different varieties to find one you like best. Add two tablespoons of root beer extract after boiling the sweetener and water, before adding the yeast. Try using brown sugar instead of white for an added molasses kick to the finished product. Try out other roots for unusual earthy-botanical sodas. Licorice root extract is also available that tastes delicious and surprising, especially when mixed with a little lemon rind. Orange, grape, lemon-lime, strawberry, even lemon-papaya: fruit sodas are where it's at. Adding a few tablespoons of any fruit extracts you can find will give you a great fruity summertime soda. Instead of using extract, start your soda base with grape juice instead of water to make authentic grape soda. It's a far cry from that fake-tasting purple stuff you can get at the store. If you want to make a citrus-based soda, steep the rinds of oranges, lemons, or limes in the sugar-water mixture for several hours before straining and adding the activated yeast. You'll get the most potent flavor from the rind. Consider adding a few drops of food coloring if you want the flavor to match the look. The flavors that go into Coca-Cola are almost impossible to identify and replicate for a reason--you don't become the number one selling soda for nothing. With the right combinations of food-grade essential oils added to a basic soda mix, though, you can come close to approximating the classic flavor of the most famous cola. Experiment with different combos to get the flavor as close as possible, but start with a combination of equal amounts of the following surprising flavors to get in the neighborhood: orange lime lemon nutmeg coriander lavender It's a simple classic, cool, soothing, and refreshing. Making ginger ale from raw ginger and sweetened with honey will beat any commercial soda on the market, perfect for mixing into cocktails or drinking on ice. To make up your own ginger ale: Mix up a gallon of water, a cup of honey, and the juice of two small lemons in a big pot and bring to a boil. Grate at least two thumb-sized (about 2 inches) pieces of peeled ginger into the pot and let it cool for at least an hour. When the temperature has subsided, you can add the yeast and strain the ginger pieces through a strainer before bottling. Let it sit for at least 48 hours before refrigerating, and let it refrigerate for a few days for the best results.

Summary: Try out an old-fashioned root beer. Make fruit soda from fruit juices or extracts. Try cracking the Coke-code. Brew up some sweet ginger ale.

If your patient or loved one has a memory or cognitive impairment, you'll need to closely monitor their fluid intake. Make sure they drink 6 to 8 glasses of water or juice per day. Try to be patient if they don't want to drink water when you offer it. If they refuse, try again in 15 or 20 minutes. Offer different kinds of juice and other hydrating beverages, and try to find which options they enjoy most. Offer a daily 8 fluid ounces (240mL) glass of cranberry juice, which may also help prevent UTIs. If your patient or loved one doesn't like cranberry juice, try variations, such as cranberry apple. If your patient or loved one says that they need to go to the bathroom, help them go immediately. Holding a full bladder can cause a UTI. Check every 2 hours at a minimum or more frequently if you consistently find that undergarments need to be changed. Change them promptly if they're soiled. Never let your patient or loved one sit in a soiled diaper or briefs for an extended period of time. After helping them use the toilet or when you change their incontinence garment, wipe their private area with a clean washcloth soaked with soap and warm water. Wipe from front to back if they're a woman, and from the tip of the penis down if they're a man. Rinse or wipe away soap residue, then dry the area thoroughly when you're finished. Wash your hands before and after cleaning your patient or loved one.
Summary: Ensure your patient or loved one stays hydrated. Offer prompt assistance if they have to use the toilet. Check adult diapers or briefs at least every 2 hours. Clean your patient or loved one after they use the bathroom.
