INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll know your Diaper Genie is ready for a bag refill because the refill film will say "almost empty" and "needs replacing." Diaper Genie refill cartridges are available for purchase online and in stores. A three-pack of Diaper Genie cartridges goes for around $15 USD on Amazon. Each pack consists of 270 bags per cartridge. Check eBay or sales in your area to see if you can purchase refills close to home. Hold the Diaper Genie cartridge in one hand and use the other to rip off the plastic seal at the top. Pull the bag out of the top of the cartridge and then pull it through the center of the cartridge. Tie a tight knot at the bottom of the bag. You'll need to pull about 18 inches (46cm) of bag to prepare for the next use. If you don't remember to pull out enough bag for next use, don't worry. Just be cognizant that you'll be able to fit fewer diapers in your bag than you're used to. Open the lid of your Diaper Genie and remove the old cartridge. Replace it with the new cartridge and thread the bag through the clamp so the knot hangs at the bottom of the Diaper Genie. Put the lid back on your Diaper Genie; you'll know the lid has been properly secured when you hear a snap. The clamp is located in the middle of the top portion of the Diaper Genie and is used to secure the bag in place. After securing the clamp, double check that you've tied off the bag. There's nothing worse than realizing you forgot to close the bag, after the diapers are already in the pail.

SUMMARY: Check the indicator. Remove the plastic seal. Complete the refill.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You don't have to spend a fortune to have great hair. Wash your hair every 1-2 days, have it trimmed regularly by a professional, and use a deep-conditioning treatment once a month if your hair feels dry. Choose simple hairstyles, like a bun or down in loose waves. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Getting enough sleep will make your skin look bright and fresh and will keep you from having dark circles under your eyes. Having good skin will help you look more wealthy. Rich people often have a pearly white smile. Get the same look by making a priority out of your oral health. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss every day, and use mouthwash to keep your breath fresh. Rich teenagers can afford to have their teeth professionally whitened, but you can get the same look by whitening your teeth at home. Use white strips once a week, plus brush daily with a whitening toothpaste for a pearly-white smile. If your teeth are very sensitive or have decay, you should not use whiteners. Try adding baking soda to your toothbrush when you brush your teeth instead. A light spritz of perfume or cologne can make you smell nice all day. However, too much of a scent can be overwhelming to other people, and can even cause them to have headaches. Keep moderation in mind when you apply a fragrance. Dirty, jagged fingernails are a sign of poor hygiene. Luckily, you don't have to get a manicure once a week to have nice nails. Wash beneath your fingernails when you take a shower, and keep them clipped or filed neatly. If you polish them, choose neutral shades and reapply the polish when it starts to chip. Rich teenagers usually don't wear a ton of makeup. Keep it simple with a moisturizing foundation, mascara, blush, and a neutral lipstick or lip gloss. It's okay to experiment with different makeup looks to find what looks best on you, but your focus should be on simplicity.

SUMMARY: Keep your hair neat. Get 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Make a habit out of good dental hygiene. Spritz on a little perfume or cologne before you leave the house. Keep your fingernails neat. Apply light makeup if you wear it at all.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Winnie the Pooh and his bear friends aren't the only animals who like honey. Protecting your bees from predators can ensure the vitality of your colony and a fruitful harvest. Use the following solutions to keep bee predators at bay: Put up electric barriers or chicken-wire fences to keep bears, opossums, and skunks away. Elevate hives to keep opossums and skunks out of the hives. Place birdfeeders away from hives. There may be a slight gap in time between when you introduce your bees to their hive and plants begin producing nectar. During these few weeks, feed your bees with a 1:1 mixture of water and sugar. Punch holes in the top of the hive and hang small food jars with the mixture from them. This can ensure your bees have nutrition until they can access nectar. Check the hive as often as you like. This could be once between spring introduction and fall harvesting or every day if you prefer. This can ensure your hive is flourishing, building a strong comb, and doesn't have any pests or other problems. During your check-ups of the hive, look for signs of illness, parasite infestation or other animals accessing your hive. This can help you nip potential problems in the bud before they affect your hive. Some signs of issues with your hive include: Misplaced bars Weakened colony Visible hive beetles or wax moths on the comb Lack of larvae Deformed wings . Take out the long, flat hive frames in the fall. Scoop off the honeycomb and wax into a container or bucket with a hot knife. Then allow the honey to gradually sink to the bottom of the container and remove the wax cappings that remain. This will give you delicious, raw honey to eat and wax cappings you can turn into candles or other items. Set the wax capping on a sieve or filter to strain out bits of the capping from the raw honey. Get an extractor if you prefer to strain your honey into a spigot and keep the wax separate.

SUMMARY:
Ensure your bees' safety from critters with barriers. Feed your bees as necessary. Monitor the hive at regular intervals. Watch for potential problems. Harvest Honey
