INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the stopper isn't already connected to the flange, attach it according to your product's instructions. If it's a foot lock or lift-and-turn design, either twist it clockwise by hand or secure it with a screw. Specific installation steps vary, so be sure to follow the new drain's manual. If you're installing a lever-style drain, insert the plunger and linkage into the hole in the tub wall beneath the faucet. Feed it into the overflow pipe, screw the overflow faceplate onto the opening, then screw the new drain plate onto the flange. After you've installed the new drain, close the stopper and fill about of the tub with water. Let it sit for an hour, then go back and see if any water drained. If it's around the same level as an hour prior, congratulations! You've installed your drain successfully! If the seal isn't watertight, inspect the drain flange. Make sure it's sitting flush with the tub and, if necessary, remove and reinstall it. If you've installed a lever-style drain, remove the overflow plate and linkage, and twist the linkage rod's adjuster counterclockwise to extend the plunger. Some designs aren't adjustable and include linkage rods of various lengths, so you may need to swap the rod for a longer one. If you can't find the problem on your own, you might want to consult a professional plumber. There's no need to wait to fill the tub with water after installing the drain. You can use a fixture immediately after applying plumber's putty.

SUMMARY: Twist or screw on the new stopper, if necessary. Thread the linkage through the overflow hole if you have a lever drain. Add some water to the tub to test the seal.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's important that the honey is raw; if it's cooked, all the antibacterial enzymes are removed from it. Home remedies are not substitutes for medical attention if you need it. The things in this section are simply things to try that may, according to some sources, help your cut to feel better faster. You still need to wash the cut properly, use precautions for preventing infection (cover the wound while it's unhealed), and seek medical attention if it becomes infected. You can also use commercially purchased gel. Aloe vera is known for speeding up the healing process. Warm a mint tea bag in boiling water, then lay the teabag across the paper cut. Or, stick your whole finger in cooled mint tea if the cut is on your finger. Mint has a soothing effect on inflamed tissue. Blend 3 cloves of garlic with one cup of wine, let stand for 2-3 hours and then strain. Apply to the cut with a clean cloth 1-2 times a day. Stay hydrated throughout the day and eat a balanced diet to keep your body healthy. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise during the day and 6-8 hours of sleep each night.

SUMMARY: Rub raw honey onto the cut. Squeeze a little fresh aloe vera gel onto the paper cut. Try mint on the cut. Make a garlic rub. Keep a healthy routine to heal naturally.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure you do not shave your cat for too long with electric clippers. They will get hot. Take frequent breaks to let them cool. Your cat's skin is very sensitive, which is another reason to watch the heat of the clippers. Consider using lubricant to aid shaving. When shaving your cat, be sure to stretch the skin enough so you do not nick your cat. Be sure you have calmed your cat sufficiently before trying this step. Having another person to help with this step is also a good idea. Have your clippers proceed in the direction of the lie of the fur. Aim to skim the clippers over the surface. Avoid applying downward pressure to the clippers as this is more likely to abrade the skin and cause clipper-rash --- a painful condition which causes the cat to lick to try and settle the inflammation and usually causes infection. Shaving against the lie of the fur increases the risk that you will snag your cat's skin. To give your cat's coat enough protection from the sun and cold nights, leave one inch (2.54 cm) of hair. Too close of shaves can result in guard hair being embedded under the skin. This can lead to irregular hair growth and skin problems. Do not shave further down the legs and paws where skin, ligaments, and tendons are sensitive to nicking. Do not shave any whiskers (including by the muzzle, above the eyes, and the backside of front paws). If your cat appears particularly agitated while you are shaving near a sensitive area, stop immediately.

SUMMARY: Keep your clippers cool. Pull the skin taut. Move your clippers properly. Do not shave too close. Avoid high risk areas.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you remove your lens, add a few drops of sterile saline or artificial tears to each eye. This will hydrate and lubricate your eyes as well as the lenses, which will allow for easier removal. Position yourself low over a flat surface, such as over the top of your dresser or bathroom counter. This will ensure your contacts don't end up on the floor. Next, look straight ahead into a mirror so you can see your eyes. Press one index finger in between the top and bottom eyelash line. The should be the center of your contact lens, which will trap it under finger. Use the index finger of your opposite hand to pull up your upper eyelid. Move your top index finger holding the eyelid down toward your bottom lid. The result should be that the contact pops away from your eye. Use the middle finger on the hand with the contact to pull your lower eyelid down. Look up and carefully slide the contact down your eye, then pluck it out. Gently rub the contact with solution use two to three drops and rub for about 10 seconds on each side. This will loosen proteins and debris that are stuck to the lens, improving comfort and longevity of the lens. Then, drop the contact in the waiting solution container. Even if the solution you use says it is "no rub," you should not skip this step. Repeat the same method on your other eye. If that method didn't work for you, you can try the catching method. Lower yourself over a surface to ensure that the contact won't fall to the floor. Look down and place one hand under your eye to catch the contact. With the other hand, take your index and middle finger and pull at the side of your eye away from your nose, then blink. Once you blink, the contact should fall out into your hand. You may find it easiest to pull outward on just the upper lid instead of both. Repeat on the other side. If your hard contacts are unable to be removed through other methods, a tool called a suction cup (known as a DMV) can be used to help with removal. The tool adheres to the contact and uses suction to pull it out of the eye. Only use a suction cup if you can visibly see the contact in your eye. To use, moisten the center of suction cup with sterile saline solution. Looking straight ahead, apply the suction cup to the center of your contact. Gently move the suction from side to side until it adheres to the contact and it is removed. Place the contact in the solution and repeat on the other eye. Issues with your eye can cause serious, long-term effects. Seek medical attention right away if you spot warning signs such as: The inability to remove the contact from your eye An embedded contact inside your eye Abnormal vision Pain, redness, or discomfort after the contact has been removed

SUMMARY:
Get yourself ready. Position your fingers. Remove the lens. Try the catch method. Use the suction cup method. Know when to call for help.
