Brain Teaser Answer:
That allows the clock to only watch the
last digit of time. For example, you
have the alarm clock set for 5:30 – the
snooze alarm will sound when the last
digit is nine. If they made it 10 minutes
the alarm would sound immediately or
the clock would need more circuitry.
Treating Severe Back Pain
Knowing what to do when you have that
sudden bolt of back pain can shorten the
episode significantly. Try this:
Lie down immediately in a bed or
mattress on the floor to be
comfortable.
Apply ice for 10 to 30 minutes.
Call your doctor or chiropractor.
To
prevent
back injury:
Get up by rolling to your side first.
On a bed, swing your legs over the
edge. On the floor, get on your
knees first and find assistance to
rise up to standing.
CAUTION: Don’t sit in your
comfy, overstuffed chair. It can
make the back pain worse. Sit only
in a straight-back chair with arm
rests to push off when you stand up.

Q. I am thinking of selling my home later this year.
What can I do to fix it up and net more from the sale?
A.
Remember when you put your home up for sale it becomes a product
on display. Getting rid of clutter makes it easier for potential buyers to walk
through the property and see themselves living there. You may also need to
tackle a few home improvement projects to get a good price for your property.
Start with the walls.
Freshly painted walls in a neutral color invite a
potential buyer to imagine the home with their things in it. You want enough
wall decoration to make your home attractive, but it is easy to overdo it.
When removing wall décor to paint, leave most of it packed away.
Freshen up the kitchen.
Kitchens often sell a home. You will want to
make sure it is bright, clean and reasonably updated. Consider replacing the
hardware or adding a new backsplash between the countertops and hanging
cabinets. If you have to replace appliances, stainless steel is an option that
offers clean lines and is easy to keep clean.
Enhance the curb appeal
with neat, trim landscaping. Your home will
likely be viewed on the internet before a buyer visits the property. A clean
exterior makes better looking photos and helps your home look more valuable.
