INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may not like to think about it, but your bathroom towel is one of the most bacteria-ridden items in your home. Bacteria grows on organic material and in damp places, making your bathroom towel a perfect breeding ground for the bacteria it collects from your skin. Spreading this bacteria can lead to skin infections and illness. Follow these steps to take care of your towels: Never share towels with other members of the household. Wash towels at least once per week or every 3-4 uses. If you are showering after athletics or a physically demanding job, wash them more often. Wash towels at high heat. Use bleach when possible to kill bacteria. Replace towels as soon as they begin to fade or smell musty. Squeeze the water out of your hair before stepping out of the shower. Avoid rubbing a towel on your hair, which could damage it and cause frizziness. Consider a separate towel for your hair. It is best to use a microfiber towel, or even a t-shirt. For long hair you can roll it into a turban. Hold your head upside down. Place the long side of the towel along the base of your head at the hairline. Close the towel around your hair and gather it at the top of your forehead. Twist the towel until it has gathered all of your hair and shortened the length of the towel, usually two or three turns. Take this tail you have created over the top of your head and tuck the tail into the edge of the towel at the base of your head. Aggressively rubbing your body with a towel can cause friction and irritation to your skin. Dry skin can flake off and patches of dry skin can spread. Instead, pat or blot your skin gently. Start at the top of your body and work your way down to your toes. Harsh tap water can be damaging to the skin. The metals in the water attach to free radicals, which attack the collagen in our skin. This can be the cause of lines in your face and clogged pores. Make sure that you absorb as much as possible before you hang your towel up to dry. If you are concerned about hard water, you my also consider installing a filtration system in your shower. Ointments and creams are superior to moisturizer and less likely to cause irritation. Just after showering is the best time to optimize this solution to dry skin.

SUMMARY: Keep a clean towel handy. Dry your hair. Pat your skin dry. Make sure you are completely dry. Apply ointment or cream to lock in the moisture which was absorbed during your shower.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For young dogs, the first sign is usually that the dog has wobbly rear legs, has difficulty climbing stairs, or is unable to jump into a car. It may also not be able to run and exercise easily, as you would expect a young dog to do. Dogs that are 6 - 12 months old can present with sudden back end lameness, or their symptoms may just gradually worsen. If both hips are affected, the dog may stand with a clearly dropped rear end. It may also move in a bunny-hop motion, swinging both back legs forward at the same time instead of moving them independently. Pain may cause the Rottweiler to be less tolerant than it was previously. Rottweilers need a lot of exercise. If they are unable to do this they can grow bored and may display a tendency toward aggression. Some dogs may react aggressively because of pain, if you go to stroke or touch the hip area. In older dogs, the key symptom of dysplasia is back end lameness. Thus, a dog may walk with a limp and when you look at it from behind you may notice there is less muscle mass on the most severely affected leg. Dogs with hip dysplasia have a tendency to rest the sore leg when standing. They may also exhibit hesitation before moving from a standing position.

SUMMARY: Look for an unstable rear end. Watch out for a dropped back or awkward movement. Be on the look out for a change in character. Pay attention to limping and muscle wasting.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For example, try 11, 12, 13, 14; 14 x 4 = 56, and 56 - 6 = 50. Or, you can multiply the sum of the middle two numbers by two. In the above case, 12 + 13 = 25, and 25 x 2 = 50. Say you have a consecutive series from 11 through 16. You'd multiply 16 x 6 = 96, then subtract 15 to get 81. Alternatively, you can multiply the sum of the middle two numbers by 3. In the above case, 13 + 14 = 27, and 27 x 3 = 81. If your series runs from 11 through 17, 14 is the middle number. Thus, 14 x 7 = 98. For any odd number (3, 5, 7, etc.) of consecutive numbers, you can always just multiply the middle number by the total number in the series. If your numbers run from 11 through 18, multiply 18 x 8 = 144, then subtract 144 - 28 = 116. You can also multiply the sum of the middle two numbers by 4. In the above example, 14 + 15 = 29, and 29 x 4 = 116.

SUMMARY: Add four consecutive numbers by multiplying the highest by 4 and subtracting 6. Add six consecutive numbers by multiplying the highest by 6 and subtracting 15. Add seven consecutive numbers by multiplying the middle number by 7. Add eight consecutive numbers by multiplying the highest by 8 and subtracting 28.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: From some early studies, a safe dose of Garcinia appears to be up to 2800 mg per day. But, it's not known what may happen if you take these amounts, so you should stay well below that dose. Once you have found a good place to buy the supplement, you need to understand how much of the HCA you need to take. The dose of HCA should be about 1500 mg per day, though this varies from supplement to supplement. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and you consult a knowledgeable healthcare professional before starting. Garcinia comes in two different forms. The first is a pill form, either in a tablet or capsule. If you buy the supplement as a pill, take the recommended dosage of garcinia as a tablet or capsule with water. Take the pill about 30-60 minutes before each meal. In general, garcinia is taken three times a day. This means that each pill should be 500 mg. That way, you stay within your daily dosage suggestions. The second form that you can take of garcinia is liquid. The liquid form of garcinia usually recommends taking 1-2 drops before every meal, but the amount can vary based on the dropper or concentration. Take the drop or drops under your tongue and let them stay for a minute or so. Then, have your regular meal 30-60 minutes later. Before you take the liquid form, ask your pharmacist or a knowledgeable healthcare professional how much garcinia is in every drop for the particular kind you have. You should also ask how many drops would equal a total of about 1500 mg of garcinia every day. Once you have the total number of drops, divide that by three and take that amount before each meal.

SUMMARY:
Learn the correct dose. Take garcinia as a pill. Consider liquid garcinia.
