In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fleas don't survive well in cold environments. Keeping your house as cold as possible while you are not there will force the fleas to migrate to your pets, where they will die. Purchase an electronic programmable thermostat that can turn your heat down or off while you are at work or asleep. Leave windows wide open while you are out of the house whenever possible. Doing this will keep fleas from hiding inside your cushions, under pillows or under throw blankets. Squeeze the juice out of an orange or a lemon and rub the rind over your pets' fur. Your pet will smell great, and your pet won't be harmed if it licks the citrus juices from its fur. Note that concentrated citrus oil is toxic to pets if licked, so only use the juice never essential oils. You can purchase "beneficial nematodes" from a pet shop, a gardener's supply store or a store that focuses on organic lawn care. Beneficial nematodes consume flea larvae, which prevents the next generation of fleas from invading your home. Don't worry these aren't the nematodes that can cause your pet to have heartworms. Add one teaspoon of vinegar for every four cups of water in the dog's water bowl. As your dog drinks the water, the vinegar gets into their system and make their blood taste bad to the fleas. It will take two to three bowls of water before you start to notice a difference, but it works great once the vinegar gets into the dog's system. There is no scientific evidence to back this method, though some people report having luck.
Summary: Keep your home as cold as possible when you are not around. Place covers on your furniture after you treat your house. Rub your pets' fur with citrus. Use natural predators in your yard. Use apple cider vinegar.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depression can lead to other mental and physical problems. It is important to share what you are experiencing with your doctor. Your doctor can rule out physical causes for your depression. You could also go to a therapist and find ways to deal with your problems. Even a school counselor is a good place to start. Get a referral, if necessary. Your general practitioner may be able to recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist who can better treat your depression. Doctor's appointments go fast. Here's how to plan and get the most out of your time: Write down your symptoms. Write down key personal information, including major life events that may contribute to your thoughts, beliefs, or feelings. Write down your medications, include any vitamins or supplements. Write down any questions you have for your doctor. Questions for your doctor could include : Is depression the most likely explanation of my symptoms? What treatments would you recommend for me? What kind of tests do I need? How can I best manage my depression with my other health conditions? Are there alternative or complementary treatments that you recommend? Do you have any printed materials that I can take home? Do you have a website that you recommend? Do you have a local support group that you recommend? The doctor will likely have questions for you too. Be prepared to answer the following: Do any of your relatives have similar symptoms? When did you first notice your symptoms? Do you only feel down? Or does your mood fluctuate? Have you ever had suicidal thoughts? How is your sleep? Have your daily activities been affected? Do you use any illicit drugs or alcohol? Have you been diagnosed with any mental illnesses before? Ask a trusted friend or family member to accompany you to your appointment. They can help you remember to share things with your doctor, and can help you remember what your doctor shared with you. In addition to a psychological evaluation, you can expect a physical exam, including measuring height, weight and blood pressure; and laboratory tests, including blood count and thyroid evaluation.
Summary: Make an appointment with your doctor. Prepare for your appointment. Ask someone to come with you. Go to your appointment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Model sailboats often operate with the same sophistication of design as any full-sized yacht. The more sophisticated ones are designed for racing, and the R/C sailors call them "model yachts", to distinguish their more sophisticated models from the "toy" sailboats often sold at toy stores or online. The "model yachts" sailed in competition are generally better-quality, more rugged, and more costly than "toy" sailboats. They use readily-available parts (from hobby shops), so you can repair the yachts when something goes wrong. Often, "toy" sailboats require an overseas order to get replacement parts. As with any hobby-sport, the cost of the model yacht reflects its degree of sophistication. The "model yacht" market is supplied by a number of highly qualified one-man companies as well as by a handful of larger companies. The "toy" market is generally served by larger toy companies. The long-term cost of model yachting is far less than the cost of sports fishing and golf. The start-up cost depends on the model sailors willingness and ability to build his/her own boat (from a kit or scratch), as well as the sophistication of the yacht itself. You can expect to invest as little as $450 and as much as $5,000 for a true "model yacht". After obtaining the boat and related gear, the actual cost of sailing is very low.
Summary:
Learn as much as you can about the types of a model sailboat. Expect complexity. Be prepared to spend some money.
