Use gloves when working with organic material. You can purchase organic material online or at a local greenhouse or hardware store. Instructions will vary, but most fertilizer is spread around the soil surrounding a plant. If you’re uncomfortable using fertilizer, ruscus will usually grow without it. Fertilizer can speed up the growth of ruscus, but it is not necessary for the plant to thrive. Ruscus is a hardy plant.

DAP also comes in spray bottles. You can spray parts of the whelping box, but you should not spray the dam or the puppies directly with it. You can buy DAP sprays, diffusers, and collars online or at some pet stores. Your vet may also carry them. Try to keep the whelping box clean to create a comfortable environment for both the mother and the puppies. If you have other pets, you should block their access to the whelping box....

You can choose between a ceiling mount or a wall mount. For an optimal workout, most people suggest being able to move 360 degrees around the bag. This helps you work on footwork, movements, among other things. If the bag isn’t in the middle of the room, it could potentially break something or rebound off the wall and come back at you, causing injury. Most people suggest mounting a heavy bag to the ceiling in a basement or garage....

Fishing line that’s rated to hold at least 8–10 pounds (3. 6–4. 5 kg) should do the trick. Braided fishing line will be more visible and isn’t necessary to support the weight of your plane. It’s super important that you hang your plane form a stud because your ceiling may not be able to support its weight. You can find screw hooks at your local hardware or home improvement store. You can also order them online....

If you’re unsure whether your eggs are fresh, test them by placing them in a bowl of salt water. If the egg sinks to the bottom, it’s fresh. If it floats to the top, get rid of it. To keep the eggs from cracking as they boil, you can try placing a folded cheesecloth at the bottom of the pot to pad them. However, this isn’t required. Cold water helps to keep the eggs from overcooking....

Hamilton has endured a difficult start to 2018, with Sebastian Vettel winning the opening two races before Red Bull’s strategic foresight saw Daniel Ricciardo claim victory last time out in China. The Mercedes man, who is yet to sign an extension to his contract that is due to expire at the end of the campaign, trails Vettel by nine points in the drivers’ standings ahead of this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix....

Kim is not a realist (or a pragmatist), and that’s why he’s got another worry. China is also losing patience with him. Beijing, too, wants the North to return to the nuclear negotiating table–and to liberalize and expand its economy, as the People’s Republic has done. North Korea’s intransigence on both issues has seriously strained relations–so much so that Beijing could prove as much a threat to Kim’s leadership position as the United States....

Krajinovic quickly grabbed the ball and flipped it over the net as if continuing the rally, which drew cheers from the crowd and a smile from Federer. “We’re not robots,” Federer said. “I like when players show emotion like Filip did in that instant. It was a weird, strange, ridiculous point that I got very lucky to win somehow.” A little lucky and really good, Federer won 7-5, 6-3 Monday to reach the fourth round....

Feinstein made the remarks to The San Francisco Chronicle’s editorial board Thursday, pushing back on the paper’s reporting that cited unnamed congressional insiders who raised alarms about her fitness for office. The longtime Democratic lawmaker’s insistence she won’t step down comes after the most recent report questioning if she should stay in office. “I meet regularly with leaders. I’m not isolated. I see people,” Feinstein told the paper’s editorial board....

Like most nerds, I didn’t know I was one until I started school. There I quickly found out that my enthusiasm for answering the teacher’s questions made others feel I was deliberately trying to make them look bad. My classmates were not shy about expressing their feelings on the playground. Fortunately, I was tall and stood my ground, a bluff that helped repel bullies. But mostly I survived by learning to keep quiet in the classroom....

Alonso finished in fifth place in Hungary and while it is unclear which comments di Montezemolo is referring to, it is the first time he has publicly rebuked his driver. “There is a need to close ranks, without giving in to rash outbursts that, while understandable in the immediate aftermath of a bad result, are no use to anyone,” read a statement posted on Ferrari’s website. “That was a reference to the latest comments from Fernando Alonso, which did not go down well with Montezemolo, or with anyone in the team....

He came to beat him. While that goal still looks lofty, the 21-year-old Leclerc impressed on Thursday when he set the fastest lap so far of this year’s Formula One preseason testing in northeastern Spain. His effort of 1 minute, 16.231 seconds was only 0.05 seconds short of the record for the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit set by Lewis Hamilton in qualifying for last season’s Spanish Grand Prix. According to Leclerc, both he and his new car have more potential....
