article: Healthy, well-maintained lawns with strong root systems are the best way to stop purslane from overtaking your yard. A strong root system makes it more difficult for the purslane to establish itself. To build and maintain a healthy lawn system, check with a lawn and garden company in your local area. They can tell you how often you should water, for how long, and the best time of the day; and also give you advice for proper fertilization and other treatments based on the climate and soil conditions where you live. Herbicides containing the ingredients dithiopyr and pendimethalin will be the most effective, and can be used in ornamental garden areas and/or in your lawn. Do not use pre-emergent chemicals in a vegetable garden. Scotts and Spectracide brands make a granular formula that can be purchased at your local home improvement store for around $20 USD and will cover up to 5,000 square feet (460m2) Make sure you read the product label and check the weather before you apply an herbicide. Most treatments have recommended times when you should use them, like being a minimum of 60F (16C), having no wind, and allowing a drying time of 1-2 hours. Also be sure to use proper protective gear like gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from the chemical. Organic mulch should be applied in a layer that is at least 3 inches (7.6cm) thick in order to block out the sun. A thinner layer of synthetic mulch that is composed of plastic, rubber, or fabric can be effective as well. Layering grass clippings or newspaper are also effective alternatives. Clean lawnmowers, trimmers, planters, and all garden equipment that has been used in an infested area before using them in un-infested areas. This will help prevent the purslane from spreading into new areas.

Write an article based on this "Get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast. Arrive to the test location early. Talk to your employer about a disability, if necessary. Read the instructions carefully."
article: Do your best to get a good night's sleep the night before the test. Have a nutritious breakfast, like a bowl of fortified cereal or yogurt with fruit and nuts. Fatigue and an empty stomach can lower your performance. In addition, go to the bathroom before the test and take care of other potential distractions. Find out whether you're taking the test at the potential workplace or at a testing center. Make sure you know how to get there and how long the trip will take. Show up 10 to 15 minutes early, and factor traffic and other unforeseen circumstances into your travel plans. If you're taking the test at home, choose a quiet spot and make sure you have a good internet connection. If you have a disability that might impact your ability to take the test, let the employer know in advance. They may be able to rearrange the testing process to accommodate your needs. Depending on your location, your employer is likely legally required to accommodate physical and learning disabilities. Aptitude and personality tests can both include tricky wording. Don't waste too much time reading instructions, but make sure you clearly understand what a question is asking. For verbal aptitude tests, reading the questions before the paragraph they're based on can save time. If you read the questions ahead of time, you'll know what to look for when you read the paragraph.

article:
A typical sign of patellar luxation is when the dog skips on a back leg. He may be perfectly mobile and not in pain, but every now and again he skips a step. He may also carry a back leg for several steps before putting it back down again. This is due to the mechanical locking of the knee joint due to the faulty anatomy. After a few steps, things tend to shake back into place and the dog continues to walk as normal. Patellar luxation occurs in the back legs. This means your dog may move all the weight into the front legs. It is possible in some dogs for both legs to be affected by patellar luxation. If this is the case, the dog may look like he's doing a bunny hop with both legs together. If your dog has the condition in both legs, he may have difficulty jumping up onto furniture or low surfaces. In severe or long term cases, the dog may develop secondary problems. One secondary problem may be arthritis in the joint. There may be swelling or stiffness in the leg or joint. If the dog is using the leg less, he may also develop muscle wastage on that side, which means the muscles on the affected side will be smaller than the ones on the other side. Your dog may also exhibit lameness on the affected leg. Lameness means your dog won't have the ability to walk on that leg. A dog can get patellar luxation at any age. Many dogs often present symptoms as a puppy because it is a problem with the muscles of the legs. Dogs can start presenting symptoms at at eight to 10 weeks.
