INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remove excess food and waste and spot-clean the cage as needed with a wet paper towel. Scoop out any soiled bedding and replace it with dry, fresh bedding. This should be done every single day. If your guinea pig spills water into the food dish, remove that food and replenish the dish with fresh, dry food. Doing this every day will help prevent bacteria from growing in the food and water receptacles.

SUMMARY: Spot-clean the cage. Refill food and water. Wash food and water dishes in hot, soapy water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: One of the most common reasons for ear pimples is lack of hygiene. Touching your ears with unwashed hands can transfer oil and bacteria to the skin, which clogs the pores and causes pimples. Make sure to keep the shell of your ear, your earlobes, and behind your ear cleaned. Shampoo, gel, and other hair products can get on the ear and cause pimples. Use soap and water and clean when you shower or wash your face and hair. Clean the inside of your ear when needed. Make sure to irrigate the ear with solution and don't use cotton swabs inside your ear. Wipe your ear after every shower. This is when the pores are slightly open, so you can remove excess oil and help reduce blackheads. Another common way of getting ear pimples is through the telephone. Wipe down your cell phone after use. It is especially important to wipe down a telephone if you share it with other people. Since earbuds go into your ears, they can get caked with oil, earwax, and other dirt and grime. When earbuds are out of your ear, they can pick up dirt and other contaminants. When you place them back in your ears, that stuff transfers. Use an alcohol wipe to clean your earbuds after each use. If the pimple is in your external ear, don't use earphones until it is gone. This will aggravate the pimple. Wipe over it with an anti-bacterial wipe, since the pimple could return if your earphones are dirty. If you get ear acne often, your ear is covered with black dots, or you have a zit that is draining fluid, you need to see your doctor. You also should see a doctor if your ear blemish is very painful and lasts longer than a week. They can give you something to help clear it up and determine if the underlying cause is hormonal.

SUMMARY: Wash your hands. Clean your ears. Wipe your ears after a shower. Wipe your telephone. Clean your headphones. See a doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you start making any major lifestyle changes, you should meet with a therapist. Talk therapy is an effective way to treat ADHD and to deal with the frustration that often accompanies this disorder. With talk therapy, you will work one-on-one with a therapist to develop strategies that can help you deal with your ADHD symptoms. A therapist can help you to determine what you need to work on and guide you through your treatment for ADHD. For example, you and your therapist may find that you struggle the most with time management and organization. Your therapist could then teach you about strategies for improving these skills. Getting regular daily exercise may also help to improve the symptoms of ADHD. Some studies have shown that you can get even more benefits from exercising if you do your exercise outdoors, but keep in mind that this may not work for everyone. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day or at least on most days. Some good options include: riding a bike hiking running swimming skiing dancing or taking an aerobics class Practicing relaxation techniques on a daily basis can also help to reduce symptoms of ADHD. Try to set aside at least 15 minutes for relaxation activities every day. Some good relaxation exercises include: Yoga. Yoga may improve symptoms of ADHD by helping you to rebalance your mind. This can be especially helpful when you are feeling overwhelmed or restless. Meditation. Meditation shows more promising results than other treatment methods, such as dietary changes. Meditation relaxes you and increases your ability to concentrate over time. It can also help to control impulsivity and your ability to plan things. EEG Biofeedback. Although more studies are needed, this relaxation training method has shown some promising results for those with ADHD. During an EEG biofeedback session, you would have sensors attached to your scalp and you would practice controlling your stress levels with the aid of a video that represents your brainwaves. Over time, these sessions can help you identify the best ways to control your stress. Keep in mind that EEG biofeedback has to be conducted in a clinical setting. Not getting enough sleep can make your ADHD symptoms worse. Getting plenty of quality sleep each night may help you to function better the following day by increasing your ability to concentrate and deal with stressful situations. However, keep in mind that this treatment method does not help everyone and it probably will not be enough to treat your ADHD on its own. Make sure that you consider other treatment options as well. Some strategies that may help you get more sleep include: avoiding caffeine in the afternoon and evening sticking to a bedtime routine, such as taking a bath, brushing your hair and teeth, dimming the lights, and then listening to some soft music in bed going to bed at the same time every night (even on the weekend) keeping your bedroom dark and cool

SUMMARY: Talk to a therapist. Exercise every day. Include relaxation techniques in your daily routine. Sleep more.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Move the bookcase out of the way. Use a yardstick to mark the center of the stud with a vertical line. If this is impossible, you can attach your brackets at the top, into a center stud. For tall shelves, this is the best place to secure a bookcase into a stud because it is the least noticeable place. You can also use door chain latches in place of L brackets if you want to move the shelf regularly. Install the chain on the wall and the slide on the top of the shelf. Drill the other side of the L bracket into the wall with washers and three-inch wood screws. Drill until the screw head is almost even with the bracket, but avoid stripping the screw. If you can't find a stud, you should install wall anchors before you drive screws into drywall or masonry. Drill a pilot hole into the wall and push the wall anchor in. Then, align the brackets and drill with three-inch screws. Place an L bracket between the wall and the side of your shelf, where it will hit a stud. Repeat the same procedure on either side of the shelf.

SUMMARY:
Remove the books. Use a stud finder to locate studs in your wall. Replace your bookcase, positioning it at a point right between the wall studs. Use a stepladder to gain access to the top of the shelf. Place an "L" bracket so that it is flush with the wall and the shelf. Drill the L bracket into the top of the shelf with your cordless screwdriver using screws that will go all the way through the top of the shelf. Ask a friend to hold the bookcase flush with the wall if it is tipping forward. Repeat on either side of the shelf.
