If you are removing the fixture or unscrewing anything, be safe and cut the power to the area you are working on. Use your voltage detector to make sure that there is no power in the switch before proceeding. Make sure you check the light bulb and appliance before continuing, as the problem may not be with the switch. This will short the connection and prevent electricity from getting to your light. Cover up any exposed wire with electrical tape, or trim it and pull more wire through so that there is no excess wire in the switchbox. Most issues are due to a bad or loose connection. Partially unscrew the feed wire and both neutral wires. Make sure they are hooked tightly around the screw before tightening them back down. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to clamp the ends of the wire around the screw. Make sure there is enough wire exposed to make a connection with the terminal. Use a pair of wire strippers to expose at least 1/2-inch of wire. If the end of the wire is frayed or nicked up, cut it off, strip another inch of insulation off, and use this end. This is common with some older boxes, when you have two single switches hooked up instead of one double switch. A hot wire (red or black) comes out of the wall and into one switch, then out of that switch and into the other one. It may, in some cases, even return to the wall from the second switch. Don't let this discourage you -- simply attach the hot wire on the new fixture exactly how you found it on the old wire. This is why there are often two terminal screws on the feed side. Some electricians will cut the wire covering in the middle, loop the wire in the terminal, and allow the rest of the wire to continue into the wall. You should do the same thing if you see this is the case in your old switch. If checking your connections still doesn't work, you should make sure that the feed wire is in the correct side of the switch. If your switch does not have it labeled, it is the side with the metal tab, or "fin." The screws are usually black. If there are two black terminals on the same side, it does not matter which one you attach the feed to. If you are still struggling reverse the connections or check the manual included with your new switch. Many older houses won't have feed wires, but this is okay. The box is grounded to the house already, meaning you won't need one.

One-sentence summary -- Turn the power back off before you begin troubleshooting. Make sure no exposed wires are touching the metal switch box. Check the connections of the wires. You have multiple hot feed wires. Make sure that you have the feed wire connected to the right side of the switch. You don't have a ground wire.

Q: Taking care of your vision in both day and night circumstances involves seeing an ophthalmologist and/or an optometrist. Most eye doctors suggest annual appointments to be sure your vision has not significantly changed. If you do not see well in natural light, then you won't see well at night either. Schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor about your night vision. Be sure any corrective lenses you have are meeting your current needs. Your vision changes naturally over time and your prescription for lenses may need to be updated. Work with your doctor to be sure you are addressing any problem you may have with dry eyes. Healthy, moist, and relaxed eyes see more effectively in daylight and at night, while tired and dry eyes struggle to pick up motion in low light. Take it easy on your eyes by keeping them moist and rested. Blink frequently especially when you are regularly focused on a screen, like a computer, laptop, reader, or TV screen. If you struggle with dry eyes, use over-the-counter saline eye drops regularly to fight redness and provide adequate moisture, or talk to your eye doctor about using prescription strength eye products that treat conditions of dry eyes. In many routine exams, the doctor may not ask questions about night vision. Be sure to describe any problems you may be experiencing with night vision. While many visual changes are related to a natural decline with age, some cases may be tied to an underlying medical condition contributing to the problem. Examples of diseases and conditions that cause visual changes include cataracts, macular degeneration, astigmatism, glaucoma, presbyopia, and near- or farsightedness. Make an appointment with your regular doctor to evaluate possible medical causes. Some medical conditions and medications can contribute to problems with your vision. Some examples of medical conditions that may contribute to visual changes include diabetes, migraine headaches, infections, glaucoma, strokes, sudden changes in blood pressure, or sudden trauma like an injury to the head. In addition to medical conditions, there are many medications that have visual changes as part of their side effect profile. Some common examples of drugs that can alter your vision include muscle relaxers such as cyclobenzaprine, diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide, and a drug used for seizures, headaches, and mood changes called topiramate. Never alter your medications on your own. If you are experiencing visual changes that may be caused by your medications, talk to your doctor to tweak your dose or select an alternative agent that can work just as well for your condition without the unwanted visual changes.
A: Visit your eye doctor. Keep your eyes moist. Talk to your eye doctor about any specific difficulties. Consider an underlying medical reason for your visual changes. Consider your medications.

Article: Unless you find that the problem is root rot, a good soak can improve your struggling plant's health. If the plant isn't potted, then water it thoroughly with a garden hose until the water begins to pool on top of the soil instead of soaking in. If you have a potted plant, fill a bucket or sink with cold water and put the pot in the water for a couple of hours. If you find that your plant is severely scorched, soak it multiple times each day until you start to notice an improvement. Move it to an area with more shade to protect it from the sun. If you've found that your plant's suffering is the result of dryness although you water your plant often, consider putting water-storing crystals in the soil. These crystals are made to help soil retain water, so they should help your plant better handle the periods of time between waterings. Watering the plant itself can lead to fungal disease. In order to keep the plant protected, make sure to only pour the water directly on the soil. Watering properly requires a delicate balance. Both watering too much and not enough can harm your plant. To ensure that your plant gets the right amount, always touch the soil and make sure it's dry before you water the plant. For a rough estimate of the moisture level, stick a finger down into the soil. If it feels dry, you may need to water more. Research the plant's watering needs and consistently water only at the recommended frequency. Make sure to water your plant less in the winter time than you do during other seasons. The plant needs less water during this time because winter is its dormant phase.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Soak the plant. Add water-storing crystals to dry plants. Water the soil, not the plant. Monitor the soil closely and provide water as needed. Water less frequently during the winter months.
