Q: If you want to deal with hair growth on your legs, allowing your hair to grow actually makes surface hair removal treatments more effective. Because the hair strands will be longer, there will be more for a shaver or razor to latch onto. It's a good idea to shave at night rather than during the day. Shaving at night will leave your legs feeling smoother. Shaving hair is arguably the most common way of removing leg hair. While it may not take hair out at the roots like waxing, it's relatively easy and pain-free to do. Purchase a quality razor from the health section at your local supermarket. Women's razors and men's razors are relatively the same. The only difference is that women's razors are designed to hug around natural curves in the body. Electric razors are also available, but won't result in as close of a shave. Getting cut by the razor blade indicates you may need to replace the razor. Razors are durable, but you should switch them up when they begin losing their efficiency. It is recommended you use shave gel when you shave. Soap and water alone will dry out the skin. Have a quick shower to moisten the body and open up your pores. Following that, lather the shaving gel over the area you're going to be shaving. It can be helpful to apply gel to a certain area and shave that before moving to other parts. You maximize your ability to catch hairs in your razor if you shave along with the grain. Shave down the leg before you shave up. It's a good idea to run the razor along your skin in a gentle, smooth motion. Sudden, jerky movements or thoughtless angles can risk you accidentally cutting yourself. Razor burn occurs if you try to shave too closely. If left untreated, it can result in ingrown hairs, which are a bother to tend to. If you get nicked or burned, apply an exfoliating body scrub to the area and give your skin some care. Rub the affected area and remove dead or damaged skin flakes from the area. Because electric shavers can be used without first moistening the skin, they're a perfect thing to take along with you on the go. Although it won't leave your legs hairless for as long of a time, the quickness and convenience makes it a good way to deal with it if you're in a pinch for time. Electric shavers require a degree of maintenance. Change your electric razor blade annually, assuming you're using it on a semi-frequent basis. While shaving is usually the most painless hair removal method, a shave doesn't last very long. Shaving leaves the hair follicles intact, meaning that the hair will grow back in a few days. Additionally, shaving can lead to razor burn, dry skin, bumps/nicks, and possible cuts. Ingrown hairs might form as well. Consider switching to an alternate method that removes the hair at the root.
A: Allow the hair to grow. Choose a razor blade. Apply a shaving gel. Shave in the direction your hair grows in. Treat razor burn. Tend your legs with an electric shaver. Consider switching to a root removal method.

Article: Pick things up off the floor, including rugs or anything that could trip a toddler. Changes in flooring are particularly treacherous for a new walker, so be on the lookout for rough floor transitions or uneven flooring. Dangerous floor can be easily covered with a foam play mat. Most play mats come in a variety of sizes and are made of connecting squares so that you can customize the mat to fit your space. Simply place the mat over the floor for a safer walking surface for your babyno tools or installation required. Secure large pieces of furniture, like bookshelves and entertainment systems, to the wall. These large pieces of furniture can tip over easily if your baby walks into them or tries to climb them. Attach the furniture with special baby proofing furniture hooks, found at your local home supply store, or simply use a few extra screws and hooks to make sure everything is safely attached to the wall. Add padding to sharp corners, which are often at head level, and remove and replace dangerous pieces. Furniture made out of hard materials, such as glass and stone, can be especially harmful. Pre-made furniture bumpers can be purchased; simply slide these bumpers onto the dangerous surfaces. You can also make your own bumpers with quilt batting or pool noodles cut in half and slid over the rough edge. Now that your baby can stand up and walk, not even their own room is safe. Readjust the crib to the lowest position by removing the mattress and adjusting the bottom springs so they can't climb out in the night. Move the crib away from dangerous areas, such as windows and doors, or places where a child could climb or fall. Most children probably couldn't reach windows before they could walk, but now windows pose a great safety threat. Install window guards, or adjustable mesh screens to stop your child from being able to open the window and fall out. Window guards come with adjustable hardware that can be attached directly to the inside of the window or window frame. The result is a screen that doesn't block the view, but blocks the option of a baby opening or climbing out the window. A simple way to do this is to loop blind cords together in a loose knot or tie the cords around a blind winder to keep them untangled and out of your baby's reach. Fireplaces are especially dangerous because there are lots of way for children to get hurt, but they are also very appealing to a mobile toddler. Protect your baby from the fireplace by installing a fireplace lock. Similar to an oven lock, most fireplace locks connect with an adhesive strip to the wall and make it difficult for your child to open the fireplace door. If you have a larger hearth and fireplace area, install a fireplace gate that wraps around and blocks off the entire area. These gates are typically installed with screws or hooks attached to the wall on either side of the fireplace and wrap around the front. Place furniture bumpers on hard edges of a fireplace to create a soft landing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Remove clutter from the floor. Secure large pieces of furniture that can tip over easily. Be on the lookout for sharp corners of furniture. Keep your baby safe while they are in their crib. Baby-proof your windows. Tie back loose curtains or blind strings to avoid the risk of strangling. Keep your child safe from your fireplace.

Q: Dead, damaged or diseased wood should be removed starting with the origin of the damage. This may mean cutting an entire large area if it is all damaged or dead. You will know if an area is damaged or dead if it does not have leaves during growing season when the rest of the tree is in bloom. Removing dead or damaged branches is one of the few times it's okay to prune your tree in the spring or summer. If you have sprouts growing down near the bottom of the tree out of the main trunk, these are called "suckers" and are actually part of the root system, not the fruiting system on top. They don't have any purpose on your pear tree. Prune these spouts off right at their origin up against the trunk. If you see any suspiciously straight, vertical sprouts growing from a branch of your tree, that's a "water sprout." They look different from other branches because they occur on main branches, have no curve, are somewhat short, and grow straight up toward the sky. Water sprouts have no purpose on your tree and should be cut at their point of origin on the main branch they're growing out of. Fruiting spurs grow on branches that were originally grown two years previously, so you don't need to worry about them on very young trees. They look like smaller curved branches growing off a main branch, with little bud-like shapes, or fruit buds, at the tip. Fruiting spurs usually take 1 or 2 years to grow fruit. The year after fruiting, another 1 or 2 fruit buds will appear in that spot. After 6 or 7 years, the spur will become congested with fruit buds and then you can prune them to allow new fruiting spurs to grow elsewhere. The only other reason to cut them is if the branch is dead or damaged.
A:
Prune any dead or damaged branches. Cut sprouts coming from the base of the trunk. Remove straight vertical sprouts coming from main branches. Avoid cutting fruiting spurs most of the time.
