Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for damage in soft, unpainted wood. Check for small, round holes. Pay attention to sawdust on the ground. Examine your house's exterior. Ask a professional for confirmation.

Answer: Female carpenter bees use their teeth to make their nests, and softwood expends less energy. Paint can be poisonous for carpenter bees, and most shy away from decorated wood. Cedar, pinewood, and cypress wood especially attract carpenter bees. Popular nesting spots for carpenter bees include: decks, porch ceilings, fascia boards, and window trim. Carpenter bee damage is well known for its exact, even holes. After a bee has burrowed in its nest, it leaves behind a precise 12 inch (1.3cm) hole. These holes are usually made at a 90-degree entrance to the first nest chamber. When a carpenter bee digs a hole into wood, it leaves behind a small pile of sawdust. These piles are generally even and directly below their small holes drilled into the wood. Inexplicable sawdust mounds could be a sign of home infestation. Carpenter bees rarely, if ever, infest the inside of a home. For easy access to plants and protection against humans, carpenter bees construct their nests outside. if you notice wood damage inside your home, your home is probably infested by a different insect. To an untrained eye, carpenter bee damage can be hard to verify. An exterminator is trained to recognize insect damage. If hired, they can confirm your bee infestation or identify an alternative source (like carpenter ants or termites).

Answer: Radiation therapy may be a good option if your cancer is caught early, such as Stage I or Stage II cancer. Many patients have a high survival rate after the use of radiation therapy to remove cancerous cells in their body, especially if the cancer is detected early. Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams from X-rays and protons to kill cancerous cells in your throat. Your doctor may use a large machine outside your body, known as external beam radiation. You can also receive radiation through small radioactive seeds and wires placed inside your body, near your cancer, known as brachytherapy. Your doctor may suggest 3-D conformal radiation therapy, where several radiation beams are doled out in the exact shape of your tumor or tumors. You may also get radiation in the form of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), where the treatment is customized to the specific shape of your tumor. This allows the radiation to be more precise. If you have a more advanced stage of throat cancer, your doctor may recommend doing radiation therapy in tandem with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy. You may also combine radiation with other treatments if you have very large tumors on your throat. If you have very advanced throat cancer, your doctor may suggest radiation therapy to reduce your symptoms and make you more comfortable as your body experiences the cancer. Your doctor should outline the symptoms of radiation therapy before you undergo treatment so you know what to expect. Many patients develop sores in their mouth and throat, which can make eating and drinking difficult. They may then experience weight loss and malnutrition because they cannot eat or drink. You may also experience skin issues, such as blistering or peeling, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, a loss of taste, hoarseness, or difficulty breathing. Keep in mind many of these side effects will go away after you stop radiation therapy. Radiation therapy can also damage your salivary glands, causing your mouth to be permanently dry. Radiation therapy can damage your thyroid gland, so your doctor will run blood tests to make sure your thyroid is in good condition.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add a split cage insert to your gerbil enclosure. Stock both sides of the enclosure with the bare necessities. Leave out toys and other items that might cause a fight.

Answer: You can purchase a split cage insert in a pet store and put it into your existing cage. Make sure to purchase a split cage insert that will fit your gerbils' enclosure. Check the measurements on the cage before you go to the store. Choose a glass or plastic aquarium and not a wire-bottom cage. Wire-bottom cages pose hazards to gerbils since their feet can get caught and injured. Do not divide a cage that is less than a 10USgal (38L) for 2 gerbils. If the enclosure you have is smaller than this, you will need to get a new one. Place 2in (5.1cm) of bedding, a dish of food, and a bottle of water into both sides of the cage. These are the only items your gerbils absolutely need, so only put these items into each gerbil's side of the enclosure. Feed each gerbil a gerbil mix that contains pellets, seeds, grains, and dried veggies. You can also give your gerbils a few bite-sized fresh veggie or fruit pieces daily, such as broccoli, carrots, bananas, or apples. Chose water bottles that you can hang from the sides of the enclosure and replenish them daily. Shredded newspaper or paper towels are the best type of bedding for gerbils. Never use wood shavings of any kind in a gerbil's enclosure! While the gerbils are getting to know each other, don't place any toys, wheels, or other items that 1 of the gerbils might try to claim. This will increase the likelihood that 1 or both will become territorial and they will be less likely to accept each other. Provide each of the gerbils with a new food bowl and hiding spot to prevent them from being territorial over their old ones.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove anything from your pants pockets and sit cross-legged on the ground with your hands resting lightly on your knees. Lengthen your spine by imagining a string pulling on the top of your head (towards the back). Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose. Exhale slowly and turn your body as far as you can to the side without losing the lengthened spine. Repeat, turning to the other side as you exhale. Turn to each side 10 times, then switch legs (if you sit with your right leg crossed over your left, switch so that your left is over your right and vice versa) and repeat each side 10 more times.

Answer:
Push against your knee as you turn.
