In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Stack your new planks in the room where they're going to be installed and leave them for about 3 days. Wood shrinks and expands depending on the humidity level in your home. It's crucial that you let your new wood acclimate to it's new environment before you install it.If shrinking and swelling occur after installation, you'll be left with gaps in the finished flooring, among other serious issues. Solid and engineered wood flooring are both great replacement options. They provide a beautiful finish that will last for many years. Nailing down the flooring is usually the longest lasting and sturdiest option. It's also fairly time consuming.
Summary: Let the new flooring of your choice acclimate for 3 days. Nail down solid or engineered replacement flooring.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Maltese do like company and can bark or suffer anxiety related problems if they are left alone for long periods of time. Think about whether you can structure your day so that the Maltese is not left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. Be aware that because Maltese like to be with people, they can easily become over-dependant on human company and suffer from stress or "separation anxiety" unless trained from a young age to cope in solitude. To train the dog to do this means deliberately spending small periods of time away from the dog so that it learns to be alone. Be careful not to over pamper the dog as this can make it even more difficult for it when you're not there to fuss it. Most Maltese are friendly, outgoing, and relatively fearless but because they are small (4-7 lbs) and have delicate bones, they are easily injured. As a result, they can become fearful or aggressive. Keep an eye on them around larger animals, and show children how to hold the Maltese properly without squeezing or dropping him. If you have very young children, you might want to consider a sturdier breed like a Shih Tzu, Havanese, or Bichon. Be aware that the Maltese feel the cold easily. If your home is chilly or you live in a cold environment, then reconsider your choice of dog. Also be aware they have long silky coats, which needs daily grooming and will need to have their hair trimmed regularly because Maltese do not shed like most other breeds. Although this is an added expense (unless you learn to do it yourself), the upside is that the Maltese (like the Poodle) is a relatively hypoallergenic breed. If you can't commit to such a long term undertaking, or you expect your circumstances to change, then reconsider getting a dog , especially one that can live to be 14 or 15. Adopting a dog is a long-term commitment, not something to take lightly. There are thousands of Maltese breeders out there, but there are also plenty of purebreds in animal shelters. If you know someone with a Maltese ask where that person got it. Make sure that before you bring your Maltese home, that it gets along with other pets or children you may have. Make sure you see the Maltese puppy with his mother. If for whatever reason the mother is not present, walk away. This is a give away sign that the puppy is from a puppy mill and such immoral breeding programs should not be encouraged. Make sure your Maltese was socialized well as a puppy, as this helps make it become a confident outgoing adult.
Summary: Determine whether the Maltese personality is right for you and your lifestyle. Gauge whether you can care for a Maltese properly. Prepare to have a dog that lives well into its teens. Pick your specific Maltese wisely.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: First, fill a glass bowl or cup with hydrogen peroxide. Next, drop the jewelry into the bowl. The jewelry should be completely submerged in the liquid. If it's not, add more hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide can be found at most grocery stores. Platinum is a strong catalyst for hydrogen peroxide. If the metal is real platinum, the hydrogen peroxide will begin to bubble almost immediately. Silver is a weaker catalyst. If you don't see any bubbles immediately, allow the metal to sit in the liquid for about a minute and look for small bubbles forming around the jewelry. Hydrogen peroxide won't corrode or damage your jewelry. Rinse the jewelry under cool water to remove the hydrogen peroxide. Plug up your sink or use a sieve while washing to avoid losing your jewelry down the drain. Allow the jewelry to completely air dry before wearing it again.
Summary:
Submerge the jewelry in hydrogen peroxide. Look for a reaction. Rinse the jewelry well.
