In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A quick upgrade that can help you reload much faster is the creation of a dual magazine. If your Nerf gun uses a clip-style magazine, you can tape two of them together, with one upside down. When you run out of ammunition, you can just flip it over and keep firing without having to locate a new clip or refill the old one. If your Nerf gun uses a spring or springs to fire darts, you can increase your range dramatically by putting in more powerful springs. Take the gun apart and remove the springs. A 20 pound spring in a similar size to the one original to the gun will give you much more firepower, although you may need to reinforce the body of your gun with some PVC pipe, as the additional force can make the body fall apart. For advanced Nerf modifiers, you can further increase your range by replacing the barrel with a brass tube, and by removing the air restrictors that limit how much air can pass through the barrel. Specific details for these tasks will vary depending on your gun, but you can find instructions online for most newer guns.
Summary: Make a dual magazine. Increase your gun's range and power.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your friend has been saying or doing concerning things, let them know that you've noticed and that you're worried about them. Avoid getting upset or emotional when you do this as it may cause them to feel worse. Just tell your friend what you are concerned about in a straightforward manner. For example, you might say something like, "John, I've noticed that you stopped coming to game nights and that you are spending most of your time alone. I'm worried about you." Some examples of concerning behavior may include withdrawing, acting sad, self-harming, using drugs, gambling, or having unsafe sex. It's important not to put too much pressure on your friend to talk, but letting them know that you're there for them if they need you can help to reassure them. Offer to help them in any way that you can. Try saying something like, "I'm here for you if you ever want to talk," or, "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help." to your friend if they want to talk with you. Give your friend your undivided attention if they want to talk, such as by putting away your phone and shutting off the TV or your computer. Face them and make eye contact with them. While your friend is talking, pay close attention to what they say and nod to show you are hearing them. You can also rephrase what they say now and then to show you're paying attention. For example, you might say something like, "It sounds like you're saying that you haven't felt happy in a while. Is that right?" with your friend to gain insight into what they're feeling. Empathy is a way of understanding other people's feelings by putting yourself into their shoes. Try to imagine how you'd feel if you were going through what your friend has experienced or described. You might feel sad, angry, confused, lonely, or all of these things at once. Be sensitive to your friend's emotions as you listen and respond to them. For example, if your friend shares with you that they have been feeling depressed since the death of a family pet, imagine how you might feel if your pet died. If you have had an experience that is similar to your friend's experience, sharing it with them might help them to feel better. However, make sure to share the story in a shortened version so you don't end up turning the spotlight onto yourself. Remember that the point of sharing the story is to help your friend feel validated and less alone in their experience. For example, if your friend shares with you that they are having trouble with schoolwork and worried about failing, you might say something like, "I struggled a lot with math last year and I thought I was going to fail. I had to get tutoring after school a few days per week for a while." Or, if a friend shares with you that they're feeling depressed and don't know what to do about it, you might say, "I felt really lost, too, when I went through a depressive episode a couple of years ago. I don't know if it would help you, but therapy really helped me." Unsolicited advice is not usually received well, so it's best to avoid advising your friend about what they should do. Instead, focus on listening to them and only offer advice if they directly ask you for it. And if you do make a suggestion, make sure to maintain a non-judgmental and somewhat uncertain tone. For example, if your friend asks what they should do about a conflict with another friend, you might say something like, "I don't know if this will help you, but I usually find it's best to talk to someone when I'm having an issue with them."
Summary: Tell your friend if you're worried about them. Let your friend know that you are there for them if they need your help. Listen Empathize Tell your friend a story if something similar happened to you. Make suggestions only if your friend asks for your advice.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets through the wash once a week. Wash them in water that is at least 130F (54C). Cooler temperatures will not kill off the mites. If you own bedding that cannot be washed hot, put it in the dryer for 15 minutes at 130F (54C) or higher to kill the mites. Dry your bed linen in the dryer. Dust and pollen land on line-dried sheets. Clean comforters and pillows 2-4 times a year. Buy dust-proof, or "allergen-impermeable," covers that zip to completely seal your pillows and mattress. Opt for mattress covers that will encompass your entire bed, including your box spring. Get covers for your pillows and for your comforter as well. Clean your covers as specified by the manufacturer. Covers made of non-porous fabrics such as vinyl or plastic tend to be cheaper, and are highly effective. However, they are likely to make your bed feel hot and stuffy. For an effective and breathable option, consider a microfiber polyester cover, a cotton cover with a laminated nylon layer, or even a very tightly woven cotton cover with a high thread count. If you have had the same pillows and mattress ever since you could remember, it's time to dispose of them. Replace your pillows every 5 years, and your mattress every 10 years. Get rid of your mattress by trashing it or recycling it. To recycle your mattress, contact the manufacturer for help, or get in touch with your local recycling center. If your mattress and pillows are still in good shape, consider giving them to someone you know who isn't allergic to dust mites. Remember, dust mites are only a problem for people who are allergic to them. Latex pillows and mattresses are inhospitable to dust mites. Latex can be expensive, and not everyone finds it comfortable, so be sure to spend time testing it out in the store before you bring it home. If you don't like latex pillows, opt for wool or silk pillows, as these are less friendly to dust mites than cotton and down. Stuffed animals, decorative pillows and other fabric objects can become infested with dust mites. Launder what you have in hot water. Store these objects in another room, if possible, as any fabric in your room is liable to affect your allergy.
Summary:
Wash your bedding with hot water weekly. Cover your mattress and bedding with dust-proof cases. Get rid of old bedding. Replace your old bedding with hypoallergenic options. Remove any excess objects from your bed.
