INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take a thorough look at the dog's body to determine if it has any injuries that are bleeding excessively. Look for areas in which the fur is saturated with blood or visible wounds from which blood is coming out. If the dog is bleeding severely, apply pressure to the wound with a clean piece of gauze or cloth. If the blood seeps through the first piece of gauze, apply another clean piece over it. Do not remove the soiled gauze because you could remove a blood clot that is forming and cause more bleeding. If the bleeding does not slow or stop after applying pressure for several minutes, try to slow the bleeding by applying pressure to the arteries that supply blood to the extremities. These pressure points are located on the inside of the front and back legs and the underside of the base of the tail. Use your fingers to apply pressure to these areas to help slow the bleeding. If the bleeding still does not slow, you may need to apply a tourniquet. This should be done only as a last resort. To do so, wrap a strip of cloth or gauze, a belt, leash, or something similar around the wound. You should wrap the item between the wound and the body, about two inches away from the injury. Tie a knot in the cloth and place a strong stick through the loop in the knot. Twist the stick, tightening the cloth around the dog's leg, until the bleeding slows down or stops. Secure the stick in place with tape or by tying the cloth around it again. Once the tourniquet is in place, cover the wound with a clean piece of gauze or cloth. Never leave the tourniquet on for more than ten minutes at a time. After ten minutes, release the tourniquet for several seconds to allow for some circulation, and then reapply the tourniquet. Never apply a tourniquet around a dog's neck or over a joint or fracture. Do not use a rope or piece of wire as a tourniquet, as these can cut or irritate the area. Internal bleeding can be hard to identify and treat. However, if the dog is bleeding from its mouth or anus, is vomiting blood, has blood in its stool, is in a coma, or in shock, there could be internal bleeding. It is important you get the dog to a vet as quickly as possible if you suspect internal bleeding.

SUMMARY: Look for injuries that are bleeding profusely. Apply firm pressure to the wound. Apply pressure to the arteries that supply blood. Apply a tourniquet. Check for signs of internal bleeding.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can pour tap water through a water filter, or purchase purified water if you don't have access to one just make sure the bottle is labelled as purified. You can find filter pitchers or faucet filters at most grocery and specialty stores. The filter removes chemicals that are added to normal tap water, which can affect the salinity of the solution. The boiling process will kill any living organisms, leaving you with sterile purified water. If you bought distilled water instead of purifying tap water, it should already be sterilized. After letting the water cool slightly, add sea salt and let it dissolve completely. If you need to prepare more medicinal sea salt soak, add another 9 g (1.8 tbsp) of sea salt for every extra 1 litre (4.2c) of distilled water you will use. A typical saline solution contains 0.9% salt content, similar to levels of salt in the human body. If your water has large chunks of salt left over, you need to either strain it out or add more water. Fill the shallow cup just enough to submerge the area you want to treat, such as a finger wound, or soak a clean cloth completely to dab over a larger area, such as a leg or an arm. You should expose the affected area to the soak for about 5 to 10 minutes, either by dipping the area in a shallow cup of the solution or dabbing the area with a soaked cloth. A good rule of thumb is to do it once in the morning, once around lunch, and once before you go to sleep. This helps to ensure that you break up treatment equally throughout the day. Saline solutions are recommended for post-tattoo treatment, to reduce the chance of infection. Dab a clean cloth soaked in the solution onto the area to keep a fresh tattoo sterile. Saline solutions have also been known to help sterilize small wounds, such as piercings and minor infections on the hands, which may be easier to treat by dipping the affected area into a shallow cup. You can store the excess solution at room temperature in a sealed container to use for repeat treatments or for the future. The solution should last indefinitely as long as it remains in a sealed container.

SUMMARY: Purchase 1 gallon (3.8L) of purified water, or purify tap water at home. Pour the purified water into a saucepan and boil it to sterilize it. Allow the water to cool, and add 9 g (1.8 tbsp) of sea salt. Pour the solution into a shallow cup or soak a clean cloth with it. Apply the soak to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day until it heals.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are suddenly unable to connect to the Internet, unplug it for a few seconds and plug it back in. This allows the modem to fully power down and initialize a fresh, stronger connection. After 15 seconds, reconnect the modem and wait at least two minutes before connecting to the Internet. If you experience problems connecting to the Internet, try powering down your entire network and restarting each device. This can help refresh both devices and ensure a stronger, lasting Internet connection. Power off your computer and unplug your modem from its power source. Unplug your router from its power source. Then verify that both Ethernet cables and the coaxial cable are fastened securely to your devices. Reconnect the modem to its power source. Then reconnect the router to its power source. Wait two minutes, then power on your computer. You should now be able to connect to the Internet. This helps to rule out problems with faulty equipment if you are unable to connect to the Internet. In most cases, frayed or faulty cables will prevent you from accessing the Internet. If you experience an interruption in service, contact your internet service provider. In some cases, temporary service interruptions may occur on behalf of local maintenance or outages. If you unable to establish a connection, check with your internet service provider to see if the router is compatible with the modem. Some modems may be outdated or incompatible with the routers offered by your ISP. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, contact your internet service providers to see if your modem requires any special configuration. Some cable modems must have their Ethernet ports configured before they can function properly with Internet routers.

SUMMARY: Try unplugging your modem for 15 seconds. Try restarting both your modem and router. Try switching out Ethernet cables and coaxial cables. Verify whether there are any outages in your area. Verify whether your modem is compatible with your router. Check if your modem requires special configuration.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a kitchen knife to score the foil just below the lip of the wine bottle, then remove the foil cap and throw it away. Hold the bottle securely with your free hand, but keep it well clear of the knife tip and blade. Sit down on a steady chair and hold the wine bottle in a secure position between your legs. The top of the bottle should be pointing downward, while the base of the bottle should be pointing up. Grasp the bottle near its bottom (which is now facing upward) with one hand to hold it steady.

SUMMARY:
Cut the cork foil with a knife tip and peel it away. Place the wine bottle upside down between your thighs.
