Problem: Article: Liquids help flush out the substances that cause kidney stones to form. Water is your best choice. It flushes out kidneys without adding any extra elements such as sugar, sodium, or other ingredients found in other drinks. Drink at least ten 8 ounce glasses of water daily. Avoid caffeinated beverages (and other diuretics) because they dry you out rather than hydrate you. You should have two or more quarts of urine per day, and it should be a light, barely yellow color. One of the main causes of kidney stones is concentrated urine. Salt can dehydrate you, helping to create concentrated urine. If you do eat salt, you need to counteract its effects by drinking a big glass of water afterward. Animal proteins can cause concentrated urine, one of the risk factors for kidney stones. Waste from the proteins gets into the urine and can increase the possibility of forming kidney stones. Some research indicates that insoluble fiber combines with calcium in urine and is excreted in stools. This helps decrease the amount of calcium left in the urine. Good sources of fiber include: Whole grains like oatmeal, bran, or quinoa Prunes and prune juice Leafy greens like spinach, chard, or kale The best way to deal with your diet is to consume both calcium and oxalate at the same meal. This way the calcium and oxalate can bind together in your stomach, rather than waiting until your kidney begins to process it and possibly convert it into a kidney stone. Spinach, chocolate, beets, and rhubarb all are high in oxalate. Beans, green peppers, tea, and peanuts also contain oxalate. Milk, cheese, calcium enriched orange juice, and yogurt are all good forms of calcium that you can combine with foods high in oxalate.
Summary: Drink more liquids. Avoid salt. Eat less meat. Consume more fiber. Be careful of your intake of oxalate if you have experienced calcium oxalate stones.

Problem: Article: ASHA is a professional, scientific, and credentialing organization that has over 186,000 members. They are an association composed of audiologists, speech-language pathologists, speech-language scientists and more professionals. ASHA has a searchable online directory of professionals that allows you to search by your area as well as specialties. Private speech therapists are certified speech and language therapists who have gone into private practice for themselves or an agency. They do not work in the public sector and are therefore more expensive. However, they tend to offer easier access to appointments including in-home and virtual appointments. Try sites such as www.speechbuddy.com, www.therapistratingz.com or www.yellowpagesforkids.com for assistance. If you or your child have medical insurance, contact your provider to ask for a list of speech therapists that are covered by your plan. You can narrow your search by location, specialties, gender, language, and other requirements. You can also complete these searches online through your insurance provider's patient portal. Some insurance companies require a referral from your primary care physician before being able to be seen by a specialist such as a speech therapist. Some payments are "diagnosis driven" meaning the evaluation may or may not be covered depending on the diagnosis provided by the speech therapist. Ask your insurance company prior to your appointment in order to be prepared.
Summary: Contact the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Try private speech therapists. Call your insurance company.

Problem: Article: Just because you hear a buzzing sound doesn't mean that it's a fly roaming around you. Beware of bees and wasps. You shouldn't kill these bugs because they are important for the environment and can sting you. Also beware of a horse fly. A horse fly is larger than an average house fly and can bite. Once you've identified the fly, take a survey of your environment and the supplies nearby. If you have a counter nearby, you can use it as a hard surface to squash the bug on. If you're going to catch this fly with your bare hands, you'll need to be able to follow the bug with your eyes. When flies are indoors they usually try to escape and are tricked by windows. This is where they'll usually be unless there is rotting food nearby. After following the fly's behaviour and where it is spending its time, prepare to strike. Consider before killing the fly if there is an alternative to ridding the fly from your personal space. Outline the perimeter of the fly with your eyes. Move slowly to a place you'll have the leverage to strike. Once you've positioned yourself close enough to the fly, it's time to kill. Make sure both your hands are free. Take a quick jab at the fly. The aim is to wedge the hard surface the fly is resting on with your palm. Have your other hand ready to go if you miss the fly. This way you can slam the other hand onto the fly in a flash. If you are successful in killing the fly, you need to wash your hands thoroughly. Use antibacterial soap for the most efficient wash. Dispose of the fly in a napkin into the trash. Wash the smudge off the wall as needed.
Summary: Spot the fly. Consider your surrounding. Track the fly. Plan your strike. Swat the fly. Sanitize your environment.

Problem: Article: Pick a wall that allows the whole room to see the TV and will provide the best picture quality and won't be affected by sunlight coming in from windows. You also need to consider the position of the furniture in the room and what direction they face. Because you need to screw holes into the wall to mount your LCD TV, be sure of your placement before you begin mounting it! In a living room, the center of the wall across from the main entranceway allows for a wider viewing angle. Place your TV on the wall where it's most likely to be at eye level when you're viewing it. If you plan to mostly watch it while sitting on the sofa you'll want to place it lower than you would if you plan to mostly watch it while standing or at a bar. Use a ruler or tape measure to measure from the floor to the best height to put the TV at eye level and lightly mark the height with a pencil. Placing your TV with the center at 42 inches (110cm) off the ground will put the screen at eye level with the average adult sitting down. If you plan to view the TV more often while standing, then mount it with the center of the TV 53 inches (130cm) from the ground. Mount the TV as close to eye level as possible if there's an obstruction such as an existing appliance or piece of furniture. The cables and wires of your TV and any devices you plan to connect to it can be unsightly. When you're picking a place to mount your TV, think about how difficult it will be for you to conceal them to help inform your decision. Centering the TV on a bare wall in the center of the room may make it difficult for you to hide the wires. Use furniture placement to help conceal the wires. You need to have a clear area to work in when you're mounting your LCD TV. Slide over any chairs, tables, or sofas so you can access the wall easily. Take down any paintings, pictures, or decor so they're out of your way. Gently place the items that were hanging on the wall nearby so you don't crack or break them. Take down anything hanging on the wall so they can't wobble, shake, or potentially fall when you're drilling into the wall.
Summary:
Choose a wall where you want to place your TV. Position your TV so it's at eye level. Select a location that allows you to conceal wires and devices. Move any furniture, pictures, or decor from the area.
