Q: The great thing about using your tongue to loosen your tooth is that you can do it almost anywhere, no matter what. Try pushing your tooth back and forth; whatever you can do with your tongue that doesn't make your tooth hurt is fair game. You may feel an itchy feeling at the base of your tooth, near the root. This is a sign that the tooth is getting ready to come out. Each day, using a clean finger, you can gently wiggle the loose tooth. This will help the tooth gradually come out naturally. Don't try to force the tooth to move, however. Make sure to wash your hands well with soap and warm water before trying this method. Another way to get your loose tooth out is simply by enjoying a normal, healthy snack! Apples or pears make excellent choices because of their tough skins and crisp texture. If your tooth is very loose, it might be difficult to bite into food with it. However, biting with other teeth and then chewing can still help to loosen it. If the tooth is not very loose and you bite hard into something, there might be some pain. Be careful until you can tell how it feels to bite with the tooth. When a tooth is really loose, even pushing on it just a little bit can make it fall out. Sometimes, even brushing your teeth is enough to make the tooth fall out (or make it looser). Brush your teeth as normal (at least twice a day), being sure to go lightly on the loose tooth. You can tug at the tooth to help loosen it, even if it isn't ready to come out on its own, or if you don't want to pull it. Using some sterile gauze and your fingers, grasp the tooth and gently tug or wiggle it. If you do want to pull the tooth, you can use this same method, by giving the tooth a quick twist as you tug at it. The gauze can also help soak up any blood. You can also apply a small amount of oral anesthetic to the tooth and gum area before tugging at it if you are worried about it hurting. If your tooth just won't seem to come out, it may not quite be ready to fall out, so be patient. If your loose tooth isn't hurting you, distracting you, or getting in the way of your other teeth, you have no reason to worry about waiting. Usually, your baby teeth fall out in the order that they came in, starting around age six or seven. However, teeth can fall out in a different order and at different times. Your dentist will examine your teeth and answer any questions you might have about losing your teeth. Generally, it's a bad idea to try to remove a tooth that's slightly loose but not ready to fall out. Forcing a tooth to come out can hurt and often leads to lots of bleeding, and possibly infection. If a tooth is forced out before the adult tooth is ready to emerge behind it, there can be problems in the future, such as crooked teeth or a lack of space for new teeth to emerge. Tricks to force a tooth out, such as by tying one end of a string around the tooth and the other end around a doorknob, then slamming the door, are not a good idea. These can break the tooth off or cause other injury. If you do accidentally knock one of your teeth out before it's ready to fall out naturally, contact your dentist, who can help ensure that the problem is taken care of. If your baby tooth is causing you pain and it won't come out no matter what you seem to do, don't be afraid to get help. Schedule an appointment with your dentist; he or she will be able to tell what is keeping your tooth from falling out normally and may even be able to painlessly take it out for you.
A: Wiggle your tooth with your tongue. Use a finger to move the tooth a little more. Try biting into crunchy foods. Brush your teeth. Grasp the tooth with gauze. Try waiting. Don't force a tooth that won't come out. When all else fails, see a dentist.

Article: Unlike man-made countertop materials, the colors and patterns of 2 pieces of granite will never match perfectly at a seam. If you're cutting the granite slabs yourself, ormore likelypicking out slabs from a supplier, take the time to identify pieces that match up as closely as possible in terms of coloring and veining. This will make the seam much less noticeable to the eye. Professional granite suppliers are usually experts at picking out pieces of granite that will create inconspicuous seams--they can often visualize the best cuts from a granite slab with just their eyes, and perhaps with the help of imaging software. Find a supplier you trust and rely on their expertise. Before you even think about adhering the pieces together, dry-fit them in place. If the seams don't line up properly or are rough, remedy the problem. Don't seam your granite until you're happy with the edges and fit. Smooth, straight, and properly aligned granite edges are the result of careful measuring and cutting with the proper saw, blade, and skill. Most DIYers don't have the tools or the skills needed to cut granite properly, so it's essential that you work with a high-quality supplier. Uneven or rough edges can be remedied, but once again it's best to rely on your supplier to make these adjustments. Grab a soft, clean, lint-free cloth and dampen it lightly with water. You don't need any special cleaners herejust plain, clean water. Wipe the edges that will be joined, along with the surrounding tops and bottoms of the granite pieces. Let them air dry before proceeding. The goal here is simply to remove any dirt or dust before adding the epoxy. Run the strips of tape along the top faces of the granite pieces, on the 2 sides that will be joined. This simple effort will make cleanup much easier down the line. Some epoxies claim that they don't stick to polished granite, meaning you shouldn't need tape. However, even in this case, it never hurts to go with the tape when you seam granite.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pick out granite pieces that have similar veining and coloring. Dry-fit and examine the cut edges for proper smoothness and alignment. Wipe down the granite edges with a slightly damp cloth. Apply masking tape along the edges of the 2 pieces that you're seaming.

Q: Decertification election to totally remove the union. Deauthorization election to only remove the "union security" clause from the contract election. It has only one purpose and effect, to undo union required payments and membership in the union, but: Keeps the union as the exclusive bargaining representative. Keeps the collective bargaining agreement in effect, except for the required unionism clause (membership or dues become voluntary).
A:
Research the difference between these decertification and deauthorization elections. Find out about your own kind of union, like "state and local government employees" or "public school employees" who have comparable procedures that may differ from private sector "decertification" processes. Consider "public sector deauthorization laws" -- state laws governing public employees that provide for:
