[H269]Help With Alcohol Withdrawal

by Gordon Warr, Gor

Loose fitting rugs can look extremely attractive, most particularly when laid over polished wood floors, but they can be dangerous unless fitted with a non-slip backing. There are a couple of simple ways of doing this.

Perhaps the easier is to paint the back of the rug with latex adhesive. Once the adhesive has dried, there is no danger of the rug slipping because it has been given what in effect is a rubber backing. If the rug is machine washable then once the adhesive has been applied you will still be able to wash it, but preferably by hand. For while the water will not damage the adhesive, the washing action of the machine may have a detrimental effect on the backing.

Another method is to lay a piece of rubberized netting underneath the rug. There is no need to fix it to the rug ? just cut to size and lay in position.

If your rugs are laid over carpet, they won't slip but they may have a tendency to creep out of position. This can be prevented by using a special foam backing, which is available in a standard size of 686mm by 1270mm and if necessary can be joined with self adhesive tape to cover the whole of the underneath of the rug.

Turn the rug over apply latex adhesive around the edges. Once the adhesives is tacky, press the backing into position. If you are dealing with a valuable rug such as an oriental one, loose lay or attach the backing to the rug with safety pins.

Relaying a worn stair carpet.

You should move your stair carpet at regular intervals ? ideally every 12 months ? to stop it wearing on the front steps. Not only will this double it life, it will also make your home a safer place, for worn stair carpets are a major cause of domestic accidents.

Unlike a room carpet which receives fairly even wear, on a stair carpet the area covering the risers receives virtually no wear, while the area covering the steps receives more wear than any other area of the house.

By moving the carpet up or down, the burden will be shared and damage minimized. If your carpet has become worn at the edges adjust it to save further damage.

For the sake of manoeuvrability, most stair carpets are laid initially with a short length turned under the top and bottom risers. If the landing carpet is fitted over the lip at the top of the stairs and down the first riser to finish in the angle made by the top step, the stair carpet can be doubled under the top step in place of a stair pad and down the second riser, allowing a good length of surplus carpet.

When relaying Pull the carpet taut over the nosing, down the riser and poke it into the gripper pins. Then pull the carpet taut over the next sep and continue in the same way down to the bottom of the flight.

Need statistics help or with any other field or subject of applied mathematics or other fields? Try asking Dr. Math at mathforum.org. This is an online open forum where people can simply submit their queries on any mathematics related subject which will be then answered by Dr. Math in a couple of days. There are many people who have already asked questions on the website and they have been answered satisfactorily. The good thing about the Math Forum is that they cater to the student's or inquirer's direct mathematics problem, rather than supplying basic theories and facts that will merely require more explanation and application.

This is because the method of the Math Forum's statistics help is learning by example. Many individuals send their questions such as math problems they encounter or other related things and Dr. Math answers it for them. Alongside the answers are more importantly the extensive explanations of Dr. Math in terms of his answer and as to which formulae and principles he used in solving the problem. He also includes the general rules in such a principle or formulae and includes other statistics help details such as exceptions and important things to note, as well as techniques on how to remember to get the formula right.

For example, in one of the questions, a forum poster asked for middle school statistics help, specifically about the definition of mean, median, mode and range. Dr. Math then answers by first proposing to define the terms and thus he gave a set of numbers which the student could presume as math grades. The first term, which is mean, is then defined in one paragraph, which is followed by a simple description as to how the mean is achieved and uses the number he has given earlier to achieve the mean as an illustrative example. He then moves on to define what the median is, explains the manner or formula used to find it and uses the same set of numbers to derive it for the example. And since the median is a bit more difficult to achieve, he provides explanation as to how it is taken. The same goes for the definitions, explanations, and illustrations of the mode as well as the range.

In the Math Forum, all the answers similar to the example above and saved and posted on the website, so that is there are other people who have the same question they can browse through the answers immediately. For the convenience of the viewer, each of the questions and answers are categorized by the field of mathematics and to the educational level they would most likely fall under. As for the forum, most of the mathematical fields are there, including statistics help, which are all subdivided into the five general stages of education, from the early school years to college.

There are also other statistics help websites on the internet, some of them are even on links where the Math Forum website is also featured. Just search for them and see which one fits you best.
