Write an article based on this "Try over-the-counter (OTC) medications. Discuss prescription medication options with your doctor. Consider surgery as a last resort."
article: Particularly for minor LPR symptoms, OTC antacid medications such as Tums or Maalox may provide some short-term relief. These medications are only treating the symptoms, and won't have any effect on the LPR condition itself. If you've been diagnosed with LPR, you may want to talk to your doctor even before taking an antacid or other OTC medication. You should also consult your doctor if you find yourself taking an antacid regularly for more than 7 to 10 days in a row. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as Nexium or Prilosec, are not equally effective for everybody. If these medications don't seem to be helping your LPR symptoms, talk to your doctor about alternatives. If your LPR doesn't improve with changes to your diet, you may want to try a prescription medication that increases the pressure of your weakened sphincters to keep stomach acid down. There are also prescription drugs that reduce the number of times the sphincters relax. This can reduce or even eliminate reflux. Prescription medications may cause side effects, and some can also interact with other medications you are taking. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of any possible prescriptions, and tell them about other medications you are currently taking. These medications can be helpful in the short-term, but if you find yourself needing them for several months, it may be time to discuss surgical options with your doctor. There are several surgical treatment options for LPR. In most cases, surgical treatment is successful, but it may cause uncomfortable side effects, such as severe bloating. Your doctor will be able to discuss surgical options with you, and may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. Keep in mind that surgery typically is a permanent option that cannot be undone, regardless of the side effects you experience as a result.

Write an article based on this "Look for a recycling symbol. Learn how to glue plastics marked 6. Select a specialized glue for plastic marked 2, 4, or 5. Make the right choice for plastics marked 7 or 9. Try to identify the plastic type in other ways. Do further research if gluing plastic to another substance."
article: Different varieties of plastic require different glues. The easiest way to identify the type is to search for a recycling symbol on the plastic itself, the label, or the packaging the object came in. This symbol is a triangle formed by three arrows, and contains a number, letter or both inside or below the triangle. A recycling symbol containing a 6 or PS signifies the plastic type "polystyrene". This is best glued with a poly cement (also called plastic cement), or a specialized plastic glue such as Loctite Epoxy Plastic Binder or Super Glue Plastic Fusion. Other adhesives that will work include a cyanoacrylate (also called "instant glue" or "cyano"), or an epoxy. If your material is labeled 2, 4, 5, HDPE, LDPE, PP, or UMHW, you have a type of "polyethylene" or "polypropylene". These plastics are much more difficult to glue, and you'll need to look for a specific product that names these types on its label, such as Loctite Plastics Bonding System or Scotch Weld DP 8010. The miscellany category marked 7 or the ABS type marked 9 can indicate a variety of plastic resins, with many possible letters indicating subtypes. Your best bet for gluing it is an epoxy or cyanoacrylate. If there is no recyclable system, you may have to guess at which type of plastic it is before you can select a glue. Here's a guide to help you accomplish this task: Lego bricks are made from a type of plastic called "ABS", and are best glued using epoxy cement. ABS solvent cement will also work, but may alter the shape of the material's surface. Imitation glass, cheap toys, CD cases, and similar brittle, often clear plastic is usually "polystyrene" and can be glued using a number of adhesives. For best results, use a poly cement or a glue advertised for plastic bonding. Glue tough, hard plastic found in bottles, buckets, crates, and food containers using a product that specifically advertises the ability to bond "polyethylene" and "polypropylene". These are impossible to glue by most normal methods, so don't assume a product labeled "for plastic" will work unless it specifically mentions "polyethylene" or "polypropylene". If you are gluing plastic to wood, metal, glass, or even a different type of plastic, you'll need to commit to further research. If you can't find an answer online or by asking an experienced handyman, go to the hardware store and look at each brand of adhesive you've determined you could use following the above steps. The packaging should tell you what substances it can glue onto plastic. Visit This to That for extensive advice on which glue to use for each combination of materials. This advice will be most helpful for common types of plastic, especially polystyrene. If you are unsure which to use, try testing an adhesive with scrap material of the same types, or in an unobtrusive corner of your object in need of gluing.

article:
Storing shoes that have dirt, dust and other residues on them could cause the material the shoes are made from to degrade over time. This is especially true for shoes made of leather or suede, but all shoes benefit from being cleaned up before you store them. Even if you're just storing your shoes for the night, and you're planning on wearing them again tomorrow, it's a good idea to clean them before you put them away. Let them dry before storing. Clean leather and suede shoes by brushing off dirt and dust with a soft, non-scratchy brush. Use a special leather or suede cleaner to remove stains. Clean canvas shoes by brushing them off, then using soapy water to clean stains. Wash plastic shoes with soap and water. If you've previously been throwing all your boots, heels, and running shoes in one big pile, picking out pairs as you need them, it's time to sort your shoes. Sorting them by season and purpose will help your closet stay organized and keep your shoes in better condition than if you just toss them all together. Group your heels and other dress shoes together. Plan to store your winter boots and other winter shoes in the same place. Group flip flops, sandals and other summer shoes together. Group your exercise shoes and casual shoes together. Shoes remain in their best condition when they're not exposed to lots of sunlight or hot or cold temperatures. The best place to store shoes is in a cool, dark closet that doesn't get excessively warm and stuffy. If you don't have enough room in your closet, you could store them under your bed or on your bedroom wall. Don't store shoes in the basement, garage or other places that might get cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The fibers the shoes are made out of could break down over time under these conditions. If you're going to be storing shoes for a month or longer before you next wear them, stuffing shoes with paper helps them retain their shape. Just make sure it's acid-free paper, since paper that contains acid can damage shoe materials. Avoid using newsprint, since it could discolor your shoes. Cut up toilet paper rolls also work well. Use shoe trees for your best shoes. If you have a pair of nice leather shoes, store them with shoe trees so they stay in tip-top condition. Shoe trees made out of cedar keep shoes smelling fresh, and they also repel moths and other bugs. Shoe trees are available at shoe stores or online. If you have a nice pair of boots you want to store, use boot stands to keep them upright. If the tops flop over, they could end up with a permanent crease after a few months of storage. If you don't want to invest in boot stands, try this clever trick: use empty, dry wine bottles to keep your boots upright.
