In your rice cooker, combine 3 cups (555 g) of white rice, 1 tablespoon (15 g) of Dashida seasoning, 1 tablespoon (15 g) of bacon fat, ¼ teaspoon (1.25 g) of black pepper, 1 teaspoon (5 g) of chopped garlic, 4 green onion stalks that have been chopped, 1 packet achiote powder, and 3 ½ cups (828 ml) of hot water. Stir well until all of the ingredients are combined.  You can use long or medium grain rice. Make sure to rinse the rice in cool water and drain well before adding it to the rice cooker. Dashida seasoning is a beef seasoning that’s similar to bouillon. You can find it at most Asian grocery stores. You can substitute olive or vegetable oil for the bacon fat if you prefer. Achiote powder is often sold as ground annatto in the spice aisle of the grocery store. Follow your rice cooker’s instructions to turn it on and activate the Cook setting. Stir the rice after 2 minutes of cooking and then again after another 5 minutes of cooking. Once you’ve stirred it twice and have ensured that the achiote powder has colored all of the rice, you can leave the dish to cook the rest of the way. Allow the rice to cook until your cooker goes into the Warm or Keep Warm setting, which typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. When your rice cooker indicates that the rice is done, transfer it to a serving dish or platter. Serve it alongside your favorite meat dish while still warm.

Add all of the ingredients to a rice cooker and stir well. Turn the rice cooker setting to Cook, and stir it periodically as it cooks. Remove the rice from the rice cooker and serve.


Combine 1 cup (125 grams) cornstarch or cornflour, 1 cup (240 mL) white glue, 2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil, and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. It should look similar to ricotta cheese when finished. Wait until it cools down enough to handle it, then knead continually until it reaches room temperature. Using a ziploc bag or plastic wrap, store the mix in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. After that point you can adjust the consistency by kneading in additional oil or cornstarch to correct overly brittle or sticky dough (respectively).

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Mix the ingredients in a saucepan. Stir over low heat for 10-15 minutes.Remove the mixture from the heat once it starts pulling away from the side of the pan. Knead until the mixture cools. Store in an airtight container. Use after waiting for 24 hours.


A sinker is essentially a fastball with a slight twist at the end, so you should stand in a normal pitching stance. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, keeping your knees bent and upper body relaxed. Line your body up with the batter, so that your non-throwing arm is pointed toward the batting plate. Make sure the ball and your grip on it are hidden until you wind up to throw it. Seeing your grip may tip the batter off and take away the surprise needed for an effective sinker. The sinker should look like it’ll be an easier ball to hit until the last second when it begins to quickly drop toward the ground. Aim at the batter’s waist or belt area when throwing the ball to give it enough room to sink without hitting the ground. As with any pitch, try not to make it obvious where you’re aiming the ball. This can cause you to end up feeding the batter an easy run. Take a small step to the side and shift your weight onto your back foot as you bring your front knee up for balance. Quickly lean forward, transferring your weight from the back leg onto your front leg as you shift toward the batter. Pivoting your torso and following through with your chest will give your pitch a lot more power. As you go to throw the ball, pivot so that your torso faces the batter. Keep your eyes locked on your target as you release the ball and follow through.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Stand in a normal pitching stance. Aim for the batter’s belt. Start winding up. Pivot your torso toward the batter.


You may need multiple coats to achieve a glossy coat. Use spray paint in a ventilated area in clothes that you don't mind ruining. Let the box dry completely before bringing the box indoors. Apply the glue directly to the cardboard then attach the craft foam. Applying hot glue directly to foam may burn/warp your craft foam pieces.   Cut and stretch the stockings across the inside of the mouth and hot glue into place. Make sure you can see out of the mouth.

Use a ruler to draw on the outline of the face with a marker and paint the teeth and tongue. Paste BMO's name onto each side of the box with the O's covering your arm holes. Line the inside of the mouth with black stockings.


A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to uphold his side of the contract without an adequate legal excuse. A breach of contract can be indicated by a failure to perform or by words or actions that indicate future nonperformance. If you are involved in a contract that involves materials (such as the sale of an item), you should be entitled to a full recovery of materials if the other party does not fulfill his end of the contract. For example, if you sell a boat to your neighbor and give him an owner-financed payment plan but he stops making payments, you are entitled to a full recovery of the boat, regardless of the amount your neighbor has paid towards the full amount. If you are the non-breach party in a contract, you can seek to mitigate (lessen) the damages caused by the other party’s breach of contract by seeking replacement goods or services (known as “cover.”)  If the cover costs you the same or less money than your original contract, you may not be entitled to damages.  However, if your cover costs you more, you can ask the contract-breaching party to pay the damages (the difference between the original cost and the cover.)  Finding cover as soon as possible to the breach of contract can help you show the court that you’ve done your best to avoid consequential damages, or further expenses due to your own failure to act.  For example, you may have a contract with a wedding photographer.  If your photographer backs out of the contract the week before your wedding, you may need to scramble and find a new photographer at the last minute.  If the last-minute photographer costs the same as your original photographer, there are no damages.  If the last-minute photographer charges you an additional $500 for the lack of notice, you can ask that the original photographer pay the $500 fee. If you cannot uphold your end of a contract, you can refuse to fulfill the obligations that are laid out in the contract. Refusing to perform your contractual obligations will constitute a breach of contract and may expose you to a breach of contract lawsuit. Before choosing this option, you should consult with an attorney to ensure that you completely understand all consequences of deciding to breach a contract. If the other party has breached a contract, you can file a lawsuit for damages incurred due to the breach.  Be sure that you have a copy of the contract, can specifically identify how and when the breach occurred, and document any financial or other damages that you accumulated as a result of the breach.  You can hire a lawyer to file the lawsuit for you, or you can do it yourself at your local courthouse. File the lawsuit as soon as possible after the breach.  States have varying statutes of limitations for how long after a breach a lawsuit can be filed, but waiting too long can prevent you from being able to take legal action against the breaching party. After a contract has been breached, the parties involved may want to consider using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a tool to settle a contract dispute. With ADR, anyone involved in the contract often share the cost of hiring a neutral mediator. This person will assist all of you to work out a mutually agreeable outcome. The ADR process includes an evaluation by a neutral third-party who isn’t a lawyer. It also includes a negotiation and mediation.  Arbitration is another form of ADR. It allows you to take care of the problem without going to court. Arbitration is a good idea in complex cases or when damages are difficult to calculate.

Identify a breach of contract. Recover your materials. Mitigate your damages. Refuse to perform. File a lawsuit against the breaching party. Consider Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Think about what specifically makes you uneasy in this situation. Is it that you feel that your boyfriend is paying more attention to her than to you? Do you wish that your boyfriend would spend less time with his friends and more time with just you? Try to pinpoint what exactly makes you uncomfortable. Here are some examples of specific situations that might make you uneasy:  The girl touches your boyfriend in what you think is an inappropriate way. On weekends, your boyfriend spends more time with her than he does with you. Your boyfriend texts or calls her when you two are spending quality time together. They flirt in front of you. Let your thoughts sit while your jealousy simmers down a little bit. Make sure that the issues you address in your list are really what is bothering you. Look again at your list the next day and revise it. Designate a time to have a conversation just the two of you. Don’t talk to him when you are initially upset. Instead, address the issue when you are both feeling calm and rational. Here are some ways to begin the conversation:  “I’ve been feeling that you’ve been spending more time with her than with me the past couple of weeks, and it’s been making me feel insecure.” “I love that you’re happy with your friendship with her, but the way she interacts with you sometimes makes me uncomfortable.” “I am happy with our relationship, but I think there are ways that I could feel more valued and respected.” Each couple has their own "rule book" — some couples would seeing going to the movies with another girl as highly inappropriate, whereas other couples would consider this and other intimate contact okay. Having an open conversation about what each partner expects is key to guiding acceptable behaviors. Be clear about your needs — your boyfriend may have no idea his friendship or flirtation with this other girl upsets you.  Work on defining these expectations with your boyfriend. You might say something like, "I don't want you to give up your friendships with other girls, but I would appreciate it if your focus is on me when we spend time together, and not on texting her." Don't set boundaries that are vague or manipulative. Something like, "I want to spend more time with you" isn't specific enough. Try saying, “I want to spend more time together just the two of us. Could we designate a date night?” Let your boyfriend know what is and is not acceptable to you. If you are not comfortable with him giving another girl a back massage, let him know that feels disrespectful to your relationship. Be open to listening to your boyfriend's perspective and his boundaries as well. Address the concerns you have about your boyfriend’s relationship with the other girl calmly. Do not accuse him of infidelity. Focus on constructive ways to improve your relationship. Use specific language to ask him to change certain things about the way he interacts with the girl. Here are some examples of what you could say:  “I feel really uncomfortable when you choose to go to the movies alone with her on Friday night. I would like to go with you or would prefer you go in a group with other people, too.” “I feel hurt when we're spending time together and you spend that time texting with her and laughing at your inside jokes.” Finish your conversation by giving your boyfriend a compliment or by showing affection for him.  If you’re working through the problems in your relationship, that’s a positive thing! Here are some examples of good compliments:  "I really enjoy when we spend quality time together." "I feel that you really listen to me when I'm having a problem." "You make me feel happy and supported."

This can be a CD-R or a CD-RW, so long as it is blank. Most Mac computers and many Windows computers don't ship with optical drives (also known as DVD drives) into which you can insert a CD, meaning you might need to buy a USB optical drive. You can find these in tech stores and online.  If your computer has an optical drive, look for the word "DVD" on or near the drive. If you don't see "DVD" there, the drive that you have cannot burn CDs and you'll still need to buy an external one. Make sure that your optical drive has burn capabilities. This feature should be mentioned in the product description. If you're using a Mac, you'll need a USB-C optical drive, or a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter. Place the CD face-up in the DVD drive's tray, then close the tray. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click the folder-shaped icon in the lower-left side of the Start window. On the left side of the window, click the folder in which the music files that you want to burn are located. Click and drag your mouse across the files that you want to burn, or select individual ones by holding down Ctrl while clicking each one that you want to burn. This tab is in the upper-left corner of the window. A toolbar will appear at the top of the File Explorer window. This will complete the burn process and, in some cases, eject the burned disc. Your music files are now stored on the CD.

Let the ice cream sit out on the counter for about 10 minutes. This step is optional, but allowing the ice cream to sit at room temperature makes it easier to blend. As a result, your shake will be smoother and more evenly flavored. Add the three ingredients to an electric blender and blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until evenly combined and smooth.  Start with 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) mint extract. Blend, and taste with a clean spoon. If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, add another 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) extract. Do not get carried away, though. Mint extract is potent, so a little can go a long way.  Any milk or half-and-half will work for this recipe. Drop the food coloring into the shake and blend for another 15 seconds or so, just long enough to mix the color in.  As with the mint extract, start with the smaller amount before trying a larger amount. If you do not like how the shake looks with 4 drops of food coloring, slowly add up to 8 drops. You could use either liquid or gel food coloring. Gel food coloring may have less impact on the texture of the shake. Pour into a serving glass and enjoy immediately. If desired, the shake can be topped with whipped cream.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Let the ice cream soften. Blend the ice cream, milk, and mint extract. Add the green food coloring and continue mixing. Garnish with whipped cream.


Low levels of hCG may indicate an early pregnancy. Decreasing levels may be cause for concern, but only your doctor can tell you for sure. Before you feel stressed or frightened, have a conversation with your OB/GYN. They will ask you if you’re having any symptoms that might suggest your pregnancy is at risk, like vaginal bleeding or abdominal cramps. Most likely, repeat testing will be done.  Ask questions like, “Is it possible I’m not as far along in my pregnancy as we believed?” If your pregnancy is at risk, your doctor may tell you to rest in bed until things improve. You can also ask if there are any medications safe to take during your pregnancy that might help prevent miscarriage. hCG values are usually just used as guidelines, and a single low reading is nothing to worry about. Ask your doctor to check your hCG level again in a couple of days so that you can watch for trends. hCG is not a hormone that you can increase or decrease safely by yourself, and keeping a healthy pregnancy depends on a delicate balance of hormones that should be supervised by your doctor. Do not use products claiming to increase hCG. These are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and might actually cause harm to your baby.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Discuss your numbers with your OB/GYN. Repeat the hCG test. Stay away from products claiming to boost hCG.

This dress combines a pillowcase and a tank top to make a cute, jumper-like dress. The key to making this dress fit properly is to use a tank top that is already somewhat loose on your child. If you use a tank top that must stretch a lot in order to fit your child, the dress may end up too tight; the skirt part won't stretch. Here is a list of what you will need:  Tanktop Pillowcase Sewing machine Thread Scissors Pins The tank top should fit your child well, but still be just a little on the loose side. Keep in mind that the skirt part of the dress will not stretch, so if the tank top is already tight on your child, the dress will end up too small.  Try using a solid-colored tank top and a pillowcase with a pattern on it. This will be the most pleasing to the eye. Patterns on both the tank top and the pillowcase may clash or make the dress appear too busy. You can also use a fitted t-shirt as well, just make sure that it is not too tight on your child. Do not turn the tanktop inside out. The right sides of both the pillowcase and the tank top should be touching. The cut edges of the tank top should be aligned with the cut edges of the pillowcase. The pillowcase will likely be much wider than the tank top. This is normal; you will be gathering the pillowcase later. Just make sure that the side seam of the pillowcase is touching the back of the tank top. This will help keep everything in place when you go to sew. Keep the pins a few inches apart, and pin all the way around the waistline of the dress. Be sure that the cut edge of the tank top and the pillowcase are matching up, or the skirt will be uneven.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Gather your supplies. Find a suitable tank top and pillowcase. Turn the pillowcase inside out and tuck the tank top inside. Align the tank top with the pillowcase. Pin the pillowcase to the tank top.


Your fingertips are your most accessible and cost-effective tool. Start at the base of the cylinder or pad, grasp a clump of hair, and gently pry up and away. It’s important to take your time as hair strands break easily and will become difficult to remove. When it comes to hairbrush cleansing tools, the miniature hairbrush rake tops the list. While this tool is similar to a comb, it is far more effective. Cleaning rakes vary in size, as well as in single or dual sides. For bristled brushes or if you have multiple styles and sizes of brushes, a dual sided rake is more versatile. Hold the bristled hairbrush over the sink, a trash can, or take it outdoors. Brush the nylon brush through the bristles of your hairbrush. This will remove hair buildup, as well as dislodge skin and dandruff flakes. Continue brushing until the nylon brush rakes cleanly through the brush bristles.  Wash the nylon brush to remove debris and allow it to dry completely before reusing it for this purpose. Teasing combs are dual sided with bristles and a hair sectioning point called a rat tail. Beginning at the base of your bristled brush, slide the rat tail under the collected hair and gently pull away from the brush. Repeat this on all sides of the cylinder or across the entire face of the pad. Once you have loosened and lifted the hair from the shaft, simply use your fingers to roll the hair up and off. Oftentimes, the hair will clump or knot in the process of removal. Make sure to have a pair of scissors handy for these occasions. Simple cut through the clump or knot to divide it into two or three sections. Be careful not to cut too much or the smaller pieces of hair may remain stuck.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Use your fingers if your hairbrush has a light layer of collected hair. Use a miniature hairbrush rake if your hairbrush has a substantial amount of collected hair. Use a nylon brush if you already have one available. Use a teasing comb for layers of hair that are tightly wound. Use scissors to help remove stubborn hair knots and clumps.


One of a nurse's main jobs is to take direct care of patients.  You’ll likely see these people at their worst.  Nurses need to understand that their patients are human beings that are probably stressed, scared, depressed, upset, in pain, and confused.  This understanding requires the ability to be compassionate and empathetic.  Being able to put yourself in your patient’s shoes will help you understand what she's going through, and what she needs from you.  Often times, because a patient sees nurses most often, those nurses get the brunt of any anger the patient is feeling.  Being compassionate and empathetic means you do not take this anger personally.  Patients are likely sick or injured and not having a very good day!  Understanding that some patients may need to release their anger in order to reduce their stress or fear is what being compassionate is all about. In addition to patients, nurses often deal with the family and friends of their patients.  Being compassionate and empathetic means being able to show those family members and friends that you truly do care about your patient and are doing your absolute best to help her.  The following six steps can help you learn to be a more compassionate person: Step 1: Listen without judgement or formulating an immediate response. Try to understand the person's feelings, needs, and wants so that you can formulate a plan to best help her. Step 2: Reply back to the speaker based on her emotions and not her words.  For example, mean and angry words are likely a sign of someone who is scared or fearful. Step 3: Make sure you have someone who is compassionate to you.  This means having your own support system at or outside of work.  If you have a million problems on your mind, it may be harder to care about the problems of others. Step 4: Think about the whole person, not just who she is at that very moment.  You’re going to see many people at their worst, but that’s not who they really are.  Remember that there is much more to your patients than just what you see. Step 5: Think about a time when you were in a similar situation.  You may have an actual memory of your own you can borrow from, or you may simply need to imagine yourself in that situation.  Think about all the emotions you went through (or would go through) and how you felt (or would feel) in that situation. Step 6: Be able to forgive yourself for failure.  In essence, have some compassion for yourself.  You’re not going to be perfect.  You’re going to make mistakes.  But you’re human, and that’s normal.  Don’t beat yourself up. Being a nurse means you’re going to see people at their very worst.  You’ll likely have to take care of patients who are about to die.  You may need to take care of patients in an extreme amount of pain.  You may need to take care of patients who have just been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.  Constantly being around people who are suffering can take an emotional toll on you.  As a nurse you need to be able to control your emotions while you’re on the job, and not allow those emotions to cloud your judgement or slow your reaction time.  Being emotionally stable doesn’t mean keeping all your emotions bottled-up forever.  It means knowing when the time is right for letting those emotions out.  And allowing yourself that emotional release on a regular basis. Try exercise, time with friends, yoga, reading, and developing hobbies. Emotional stability also doesn’t mean developing an ice-cold personality where you do not allow yourself to care about anything.  You need to allow yourself to care about your patients in order to provide them with compassion and empathy. Having, or being able to have, emotional stability may mean you have to do certain things outside of work so you’re able to control your emotions at work.  One helpful way to develop stable emotions and have better control over your mood is to practice mindfulness. This means being in the moment without thinking about the past, the future, or anything judgmental. Being a responsible nurse means not cutting any corners.  Not allowing yourself to make an error, but if you do, making sure the proper people know about the error you made and making sure it’s corrected as soon as possible.  Being responsible also means using your best judgement when evaluating a patients' needs and making good decisions that are in the best interests of your patients. If you are a nurse that works in an emergency room or an operating room, or something similar, you also need to be responsible with your time.  You need to understand that things do not always go as planed, and emergencies do not happen on a schedule that matches your shifts.  A good nurse is prepared to work longer if necessary and understand that’s just part of the job. . In addition to being compassionate, empathetic, and sympathetic to your patients and their needs, you also need to be respectful and non-judgemental about the decisions your patient has made in life.  It is not up to you, as a nurse, to judge your patients.  It is up to you to help them and make sure they leave you care in the best possible condition — regardless of how they may have ended up in your care in the first place.  It also means not treating patients differently because of their backgrounds, ethnicity, or personality.  A homeless man who is being treated for a drug overdose deserves just as much respect from you as a pregnant woman who has been hit by a car. Being respectful of your patients also means being truthful with them.  When communicating news — good or bad — you need to understand that the patient has the right to honesty.  Be straight-forward with your patients, but do it respectfully and with compassion. Keeping calm means maintaining your level-headedness.  It means having confidence in what you’re doing and the decisions you’re making.  Your confidence will grow not only throughout your education, but the longer you’re on the job.  And as such, your ability to remain calm will also improve.  As a nurse, you can’t panic when something unexpected happens, and you can’t freeze up because you aren’t sure what to do.  When you’re first learning your job and there’s an emergency situation, a more experienced nurses may push you out of the way and take over.  Do not take this personally or be upset.  Use this moment to observe exactly what’s going on, what the nurse is doing and how, and the specific details that are driving the nurse’s decisions.  Watching a more experienced nurse, especially in a crisis, can be one of your most useful learning experiences. Find out if there are trainings offered to help you work through specific scenarios such as sudden cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, or stroke. By attending these trainings, you can practice going through these steps in a less intense environment so that in the real situation, you will be able to work through it easier. As a nurse no two days will ever be the same.  While you may have some routine, it is likely that that routine will also change every now and again.  No two patients are going to behave the same, even when they’re getting the exact same treatment.  Nurses need to be adaptable and flexible.  Nurses need to understand that their work environment and job requirements will change on a daily basis.  Being flexible and adaptable, and just going with the flow, will not only help your day go smoother, it will help reduce the amount of stress you feel. Nurses, just like many professions, are constantly learning.  Whether they learn through a formal classroom environment, or simply by observing, doesn’t matter.  What matters is that you are constantly improving your knowledge and skills, and recognizing specific areas where you might need improvement.  It also means receiving feedback from your peers and supervisors critically, and working with your supervisor and others to correct any deficiencies you have with your skills.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Understand and have the ability to be compassionate. Have emotional stability. Take responsibility. Respect everyone Keep calm under pressure and during a crisis. Adapt to new and constantly changing situations. Improve your knowledge constantly.


Your puppy should be able to stand up, lay down, and turn around in their crate. It's best not to give puppies extra space because they're liable to do their business in one corner of the crate instead of asking to go outside.  Crates often range in size from 18" x 12" x 14" for small breeds all the way up to 48" x 30" x 33" for large or giant breeds. For maximum convenience, get a crate that's the right size for your full-grown dog and insert a temporary physical divider into it to create a smaller space for your puppy. Move the divider back as your puppy grows. Both crates and dividers are available at most pet stores. Before you train your puppy to sleep in their crate, it's important to familiarize them with it and establish it as a positive place. Introduce your young pet to their new crate by putting it in a social space, like your living room, with the door open. Drop treats and/or toys into the crate to encourage your dog to explore inside it. You want your puppy to think that going inside the crate is their idea, so don't force them in it. Let them explore it at their own pace while you praise them in a happy voice. The fastest way to get your dog used to their crate is to relocate their meals to inside of it. Feeding them in their crate helps establish it as a safe, happy place.  If your puppy is wary of going into the crate at first, start by feeding them just outside the crate. Then, put their dish right by the door so that they're eating with their head inside the crate. Keep moving the food bowl further and further back with each mealtime until their entire body is inside. Once your dog is comfortable feeding in the crate, close the door while they eat and let them out immediately afterwards. Then, gradually extend the time they are in the crate with the door closed after eating from a few minutes to a quarter of an hour. This will help them become comfortable with being confined in their crate. Playing crate games teaches your puppy to stay in their crate while associating staying in it with positive rewards. Start by leading your pet inside their crate and closing the door without latching it. Have a handful of treats in one hand and hold the door with the other.  Now, open the door with one hand while feeding your dog treats through the side of the crate with the other. If they stay in their crate, they get the treats. If they try to run out, quickly close the door before they can and start again. Once they have this routine down, it's a good thing to do each morning when you're letting them out of the crate since it rewards them for staying in the crate during the night and teaches them to wait for your command to leave the crate. Playing this crate game will give your dog positive associations with their crate. It will also teach your pup that they have choices. Their good behavior and decisions will result in a reward while their bad behavior and decisions will lead to restrictions. If you want your puppy to sleep well in their own bed, you need them to associate their crate with rewards and relaxation. Confining them to their crate as a disciplinary measure will only reinforce their fear and suspicion of it. Since young puppies cannot control their bladder yet, you should not leave the puppy in the crate for more than three or four hours at a time.

Get a crate of an appropriate size. Get your puppy to go into the crate on their own. Feed your puppy meals in their crate. Play crate games with them. Never put your puppy in a crate as a punishment.


Before planting it’s important to consider if your tree will be able to successfully grow in your area.  Check if your tree is suitable and able to thrive in your area’s climate.  Determine if your space can accommodate the full grown height and width of your tree. Ensure your space is protected from high winds and that it receives adequate sunlight. If frozen soil is an issue in your area, be sure to dig the hole for your tree early in the winter before the ground freezes over. Dig a hole about four to five times the size of your tree’s root ball in diameter and slightly shallower than the root ball in depth. Livings trees that spend more than 7-10 days indoors may lose hardiness and be unable to thrive once replanted. Just as you acclimated your tree to indoor temperatures, you must do the same when preparing to bring it back outdoors. Spend about a week slowly transitioning your tree from inside your home to outside using your garage or enclosed porch. During this period, keep your tree away from high winds, direct sunlight and warm areas. Only natural burlap or biodegradable containers are safe to be planted. Treated burlap, nylon or plastic containers must be removed. If after removing the covering your tree’s roots are bound tightly together, gently break up the massed roots on the outer layer of the root ball. Plant your tree slightly higher than the surrounding soil to help with drainage. If the area where you plan to replant your tree is still frozen, you will need to wait for it to thaw before replanting. Keep your tree in a sheltered spot outdoors until the soil is thawed. Level the soil to the top of the tree’s roots. Spread 2-3” of mulch over top of the area. During the replanting process, your tree will still need water. If your area is dry in the winter, you may need to continue watering your tree once it is replanted. Monitor the soil to determine if your tree needs additional moisture or not. Do not add fertilizer to your tree’s soil until the spring. In the first year after replanting, be careful not to add too much fertilizer as the roots are not fully established yet.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Find a spot that can hold your tree. Dig the hole for your tree before the soil freezes. Take your living tree out of indoors as soon as possible. Acclimate your tree to outdoor weather. Remove the container or covering around your tree’s root ball once you are ready to replant. Plant your tree in the pre-dug hole. Fill in the hole with the original soil. Maintain moisture.


Viral meningitis is usually self limited and goes away on its own. There are a few specific viruses such as the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and HIV that require specific goal directed therapy with antiviral drugs. Viral meningitis is spread person to person contact. A groups of viruses called enterovirus is the primary source and occur most typically in the late summer to early fall. Despite it being possible to be spread by person to person contact, outbreaks of viral meningitis are rare. There are three kinds of bacteria that cause bacterial meningitis, which is the most worrisome and lethal. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common form to strike infants, young children, and adults in the US. There is a vaccine for this bacteria, however, so it is curable. It is spread most commonly from a sinus or ear infection and should be suspected when a person with a prior sinus or ear infection develops symptoms of meningitis. Certain people are at higher risk, such as those who do not have spleens and those who are older. Vaccination for these individuals is protocol. Another bacteria that causes bacterial meningitis is Neisseria meningitidis. This is a highly contagious form that afflicts otherwise healthy adolescents and young adults. It is spread person to person and outbreaks occur in schools or dorms. It is particularly lethal, leading to multi-organ failure, brain damage, and death if not rapidly identified and started on intravenous antibiotics.  It also has the distinction of causing a “petechial” rash, meaning a rash that looks like lots of tiny bruises, and this is an important distinction to note. Vaccination is recommended for all adolescents 11 to 12 years of age, with a booster at age 16. If no prior vaccine was given and the patient is 16, only one vaccination is required. The third bacteria that causes bacterial meningitis is Haemophilus influenza. This used to be a very common cause of bacterial meningitis in infants and children. However, since a Hib vaccination protocol has been introduced, rates have dropped dramatically. With the combination of immigrants from other countries that don’t follow routine vaccination or even parents who do not believe in vaccination, not all are protected against this form. Obtaining an accurate vaccination history, preferably  from the actual medical record or yellow vaccine card, is critical when this, or any, form of meningitis is considered. It is recommended that the following groups with high risk of contracting meningitis have routine vaccinations:  All children ages 11-18 U.S. military recruits Anyone who has a damaged spleen or whose spleen has been removed College freshmen living in dormitories Microbiologists exposed to meningococcal bacteria Anyone who has terminal complement component deficiency (an immune system disorder) Anyone traveling to countries which have an outbreak of meningococcal disease Those who might have been exposed to meningitis during an outbreak

In the United States, you’ll need to select a business structure before you register your business. Examples include a limited liability company (LLC) and sole proprietorship. The best choice depends on your personal assets and tax liability, so ask your attorney or accountant which structure suits your needs. An LLC is the best choice for many small business owners, especially if you want to protect your personal assets. Your personal vehicle, home, and other assets won't be at risk if your business faces bankruptcy or lawsuits. To register your business with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), you’ll need to apply for an employer identification number (EIN), which is free. Registration procedures vary by state; in general, you’ll file your business name, declare its structure, and pay registration fees.  Apply online for an EIN here: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp. Find your state’s business registration procedures here: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/state-government-websites. In the United States, you’ll need to apply for a Motor Carrier Authority Number and US DOT number with the Department of Transportation. If you only plan on traveling within state lines, you may only need an intrastate DOT number.  Find your state’s DOT requirements here: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/about/webstate.cfm. For locations outside of the United States, check with your department of transportation or other appropriate agency about licensing requirements. For example, in the United Kingdom, you’ll need to apply for a good vehicle operating license with the Traffic Commissioners of Great Britain. In the United States, you’ll need to file a Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Form (2290) with the IRS. Additionally, you’ll have to pay standard business taxes, including income tax, self-employment tax, employment taxes (if you hire employees), and applicable excise taxes, such as fuel tax. Check with your nation’s revenue service if you live outside of the United States. There are strict federal and state regulations on trucking business insurance. Contact your insurance provider or look online to find an independent insurance agent. Ask them to recommend a policy that complies with federal and state standards. In the United States, total insurance costs for trucking businesses average around $6,500 (USD) per year.

Choose a business structure. Register your business with federal and state agencies. Apply for operating licenses required by your jurisdiction. File industry-specific tax forms. Buy insurance that complies with your jurisdiction’s regulations.


Regardless of where you file your report, you need the same basic set-up. It’s best to do this immediately after the sighting so everything is fresh in your head. When it’s fresh, it’s more likely to be accurate. You'll use this information to file a report to specific agencies. Here's what to start with:  Number of witnesses (to be valid, there needs to be at least 1 other person) Time Location (if you live next to an Air Force base or other similar area, your report may be discarded) Number of objects seen Do ‘’not’’ include your personal information in the body of the report. It will have to be removed later. The more details you have, the more convincing your story will be (or the easier it will be to determine if it’s something else). Think back to experience. These are the aspects you should cover:  Lights (How many were there? Were they flashing or solid?) Color (Did the color ever change?) Brightness (Compare it to another object, if possible) Motion (How fast did it go? Did it move up and down? Back and forth? Smoothly or erratically?) Behavior (Did the object move or land, emit lights, sounds, or other objects?) Interactions with space (Did it engage with other aircraft in the vicinity, produce electrical or magnetic effects, such as a car engine stopping?) Trail, haze, etc. (Was there an aura or haze around the object, any cloud or smoke trails from the object?) Think of holding up an object at arm’s length to block the view of the UFO. Would you need a dime? A cookie? A plate? Something in between? This may be about as close as you can get. Think of the other objects around to determine how far away it was. Was it well above the trees? Hills? Power lines? Satellite towers? This can help you assess it's apparent distance. There are a few common standards currently known – does your experience fall in line with any of these shapes?   Saucer: there are three varieties – domed (stereotypical), lenticular (pistachio-shaped), and lenticular with dome  Hat: there are three varieties – conical hat, double hat, and flat top straw hat  Sphere: a standard circular shape  Saturn: in the shape of the planet, as if the object has rings  Ellipsoidal: egg-shaped when hovering, football-shaped while flying  Cylindrical: this object looks like a giant cigar  Dirigible: shaped like a pointy bullet; generally followed by a luminous plume  Triangle/boomerang: wedge-shaped or v-shaped, like a boomerang The better the weather (fewer clouds, no rain, etc.) the more reliable your story will be and the harder it will be to argue you didn't see what you saw. However, that being said – don't be tempted to lie if it was bad; it's quite easy to find out what the weather actually was that day if need be. If it was cloudy or rainy, explain how that affected your vision. Did it obscure anything, even if just partly, from view? Did anything change as the clouds parted or as the rain lifted? Could anything you saw be due to visual distortion from clouds or other natural phenomena? One of the most effective ways to make your sighting convincing is to include pictures or video – good pictures or video, that is. Don’t bother fabricating something – UFO hoaxes have been around long enough that most can be debunked.  The best photos aren’t digital. In fact, negatives (on tangible film) are best to prove it hasn’t been tampered with. If it is digital, don’t even think about even so much as resizing it. If it’s been changed from its original form even in the minutest detail, it might get thrown out. The best videos have other objects in them for reference and are stationary, so you can see the UFO’s movement, instead of a video that’s panning along with them. Were your senses impaired or impeded? These may be similar to points a law enforcement agent would cover. Think of the following details (and be honest):  Objects between you and the UFO that obscured your view If you were wearing contacts or glasses at the time of the sighting If you were wearing headphones or anything to impair or prevent your hearing If you had a cold or anything preventing your olfactory sense from working properly If you were taking prescription drugs, or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs Break it up into paragraphs to make it easy to read. Include any specific knowledge you have from your background that aids the story (for example, if you’re a pilot or have flight/mechanical training).  It doesn't have to be fancy, but it should be typed up (you'll likely submit it online, so you can just copy and paste it over) and spell-checked. The better it is constructed, the more it will be taken seriously. Include a drawing of the UFO. Do your best to show relative size, shape, lights, etc.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Immediately write down the basics of your experience. Include as many details about the object(s) as possible. Note their size and how far away the objects likely were. Include details on the shape of the craft. Note the weather at the time of the sighting. Include any pictures or video. Take note of any impediments you were facing at the time. Write it all together in a cohesive, engaging report.


Find a tree, point your cursor at a block of wood below it, and hold down your mouse button until the wood breaks and appears in your inventory.  In Minecraft PE, tap and hold the block of wood until it breaks. In Minecraft for consoles, point your cursor at the wood and hold the right trigger until the wood breaks. Press E on a computer to open your inventory. You should see a small grid in the top-right side of the inventory below the "Crafting" heading.  In Minecraft PE, tap ⋯ in the lower-right side of the screen, and tap the crafting table tab on the left side of the screen. On consoles, press X (Xbox) or square (PlayStation). Click the wood block to grab it, then click a square in the "Crafting" grid to place the block; you'll see four wood planks appear in the square to the right of the crafting grid.  In Minecraft PE, tap the wood planks icon, then tap 4 x on the right side of the screen. On consoles, select the wood planks icon, then press A or X. Click the stack of wood planks, then right-click each square in the crafting grid (four total). You'll see the crafting table appear in the square to the right of the grid.

Press ⇧ Shift while clicking the crafting table to transfer it directly into your inventory's quick-access bar.  In Minecraft PE and console editions, crafting the wood planks automatically transfers them into your inventory quick-access bar. If your quick-access bar is full, you can replace one of the quick-access items with another item from your inventory (in this case, the crafting table). Select the crafting table in your quick-access bar to place it in your hand. Face the ground, then right-click it. This will place the crafting table on the ground in front of you.  In Minecraft PE, tap the ground. On consoles, face the ground and press the left trigger. The resources needed for specific tools are as follows:   Pickaxe - Two sticks and three wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds.  Shovel - Two sticks and one wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds.  Axe - Two sticks and three wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds.  Sword - One stick and two wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds.  Hoe - Two sticks and two wood, stone, iron, gold, or diamonds. You'll need at least one stick for each tool, though most tools mandate two. To craft four sticks, open your crafting menu, place one wood plank in the bottom row of the crafting grid, and place one wood plank directly above the first wood plank. You'll see a stack of four sticks appear to the right of the crafting grid; move them to your inventory before continuing.  In Minecraft PE, tap ⋯, tap the crafting table tab, tap the stick icon, and tap 4 x on the right side of the screen. On consoles, press X (Xbox) or square (PlayStation), then select the stick icon and press A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation).

for the best breath control. The diaphragm is a muscle beneath the lungs that contracts whenever you breathe in, allowing your lungs to expand. To breathe from your diaphragm, focus on breathing so that you can see and feel your belly expanding as you breathe in. Keep your shoulders loose to get the most air. You’ll likely need to take more breaths when you’re singing high notes, making it important to practice proper breathing techniques. to help with your breathing. Sit or stand up straight when you’re singing, paying careful attention not to slouch. This will give your diaphragm more room to expand and contract correctly. It’s not necessary to point your chin upwards—instead, just look straight ahead for the best posture. Many people think that looking slightly upwards extends your voice and produces a louder sound, but really it just puts tension on the muscles in your throat. Remind yourself to relax your shoulders and facial muscles before you begin singing. If the muscles in your face, neck, and shoulders are all tense, you won’t be able to produce your best sound.  Move your neck to the left and right slowly, pausing a few seconds before switching, to release any tension in your neck. Most people hold tension in their upper body without even realizing it. Take a deep breath and release the air, helping your muscles relax automatically. Just like with most other things, you need to be consistent to truly see a difference in your high note ability. Your voice has to be trained before it can reach its full potential. Do vocal exercises each day, trying to get your voice to go a bit higher each time.  Set small goals for yourself, such as trying a new vocal exercise every few days or trying to hold your high note a second or two longer each day. Be patient—don’t worry if you’re not developing a high singing voice as quickly as you’d like. It takes time!

If your dog enjoys going for car rides with you, take this simple step to help keep it safe. Although most humans wouldn't dare jump out of a moving car, your dog might not be so hesitant. Keep the windows rolled up enough to prevent your dog from jumping out during your drive.  You might also wish to purchase a seatbelt designed specifically for your dog, to keep it as safe as can be during any road trips. Consider locking power windows as dogs may accidentally be able to roll them down. Do not leave your dog alone in the car on a hot day with the windows rolled up. This can raise temperatures to a deadly degree for your dog. A common fall hazard for dogs is any open window in your house that it can reach. Even if the window has a screen on it, your dog may still try and escape, which can lead to it suffering a dangerous fall. Any window your dog can reach needs to be kept closed enough so that your dog cannot fit out the window. If your home has potential fall hazards you should prevent your dog from accessing this areas. Keeping your dog away from these potentially dangerous ares will help keep it safe in your home.  Steep stair cases, lofts without a railing, and balconies are some examples of places in your home that your dog may fall from. Make sure to leave doors to these areas closed. You can buy pet-gates to block off staircases or doorways in your home. Never bring your dog into an area of the house that presents a fall hazard. If you notice your dog stumbling and falling without any apparent reason, it should be taken to your veterinarian as soon as possible. This may be a sign of a medical condition that your veterinarian will be able to diagnose and offer treatment options for.  Inner ear issues or ear infections can cause your dog fall down. Brain tumors, which are more common in older dogs, can also be responsible for your dog falling.

As the evening goes on, start to sneeze every so often. Blow your nose a lot in a place where your parents can hear you. If you start faking the symptoms of sickness the night before, your parents are less likely to question you when you say you’re sick in the morning.  Sickness comes in various forms, with many different symptoms. Decide on a few to use, such as an upset stomach, sneezing, or nausea, but don’t go overboard with too many symptoms. If your parents are very cautious, it may not be a good idea to pretend to be sick. They may get so worried that they rush you to the doctor immediately. If they know you lied about being sick, your punishment might be worse. Lying to your parents about being sick is worse than skipping school and will break their trust in you. As soon as you wake up, go straight to the bathroom. Make noises as if you are sitting on the toilet and not feeling good at all. Pour some water in the toilet to simulate the proper sounds. Be sure to flush the toilet at least two or three times to enhance the effect. Heat up some tea and hold the thermometer against the outside of the mug until it heats up to 101℉ or 102℉ (39℃). Be sure not to let the thermometer read 104℉ (40℃) or more, as this causes alarm and may get you taken to the doctor. Be sure to add other fever symptoms like making yourself sweat a little and saying you feel cold. The combination of the fever reading on the thermometer, visible sweat on your forehead, and saying you are cold should be enough to convince your parent that you’re feverish without raising too much concern.

Start acting sick the night before you plan to skip school. Spend a long time in the bathroom in the morning. Fake a fever reading on a thermometer.


This will be the quickest way to open the correct folder. This will open the folder for your Adobe program. For example, if you're trying to remove the license agreement from Photoshop CS4, open the "Photoshop" folder in the "App" folder. This is the file that controls the appearance of the license agreement. Note: This only works in CS4 and earlier. This will allow you to change the file name. This will turn the file into a backup so that it isn't deleted, but will keep it from being run by the program. When you launch your Adobe program again, you should be able to skip right past the license agreement. If you use multiple Adobe programs, you'll need to repeat these steps in each program's "App" folder.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Good class notes from your teacher’s lectures and class discussions can be great study tools for tests and exams. Look over your class notes and check if there are incomplete sentences or any confusing statements. Clarify anything you missed in class or are still confused about with your teacher so you can better prepare for the upcoming test. If you have an incomplete chemistry formula written down, for example, you should clarify the complete formula with your teacher or a peer. Focus on recent class notes, especially the notes made in your most recent class, as they will likely contain important information you can use to prepare for the test. One of the best ways to make your class notes more instructive is to use visual diagrams and representations, such as the scientific process of condensation. Drawing out scientific processes can help you to better visualize them and remember them later. Use a highlighter to go through your class notes and identify any key points that seem relevant to the test. Marking important concepts with a highlighter will allow you to easily scan your notes and digest complex information through the key details or points.  For example, you may have notes of the process of condensation from your chemistry class or notes on the digestive system from your biology class. These processes can be detailed and contain a lot of information that can be challenging to remember. Using a highlighter to identify key points can help you to focus on the most important details in the process without getting overwhelmed by information. In your notes on the process of condensation, for example, you may start with a definition of condensation: “The process of changing water vapor in the air into liquid water.” Rather than highlight the entire sentence, you may highlight the terms “water vapor” “air” and “liquid water”. This will help you remember the key terms of the definition so you can recall it easily when you take the test. Your teacher may provide a guide for the test that contains example questions or a list of key points that are going to be on the test. Make sure you have a copy of the study guide and use it when preparing for the test.  You should clarify the form of the test, such as multiple choice, short answer, or true/false. The form of the test will then help you better prepare for the test. If the test is multiple choice or true/false, you may want to focus on memorizing key definitions, examples, and concepts. If the test is short answer, you may want to practice writing out short answers that explain key definitions and concepts. An example study guide for a test on condensation, for example, may contain questions like, “What is the process of condensation?” “How is condensation different from evaporation?” “How can we demonstrate condensation in an experiment?” Though these questions may not be the exact ones used on the test, they will likely point to key concepts or points that you should study in preparation for the test. . Flashcards can be useful for studying difficult concepts, especially if you are trying to remember key definitions and terms. You may decide to use a color coded system to separate key definitions from key concepts and write them on different colored flashcards.  If you are creating flashcards for a test on the process of condensation, for example, you may write the definition of condensation on a green flashcard and the difference between condensation and evaporation on a yellow flashcard. You may then write the definition for evaporation on a green flashcard and the use of a pressure temperature graph on a yellow flashcard. Separating definitions from concepts can allow you to test yourself on different things using the flashcards, but still ensure they remain separate as you review them. The color coding can also help you distinguish between a definition and a concept. Recent studies have shown that studying information in chunks, also known as spaced repetition, can help you to better retain information and access it later during a test. Rather than try to memorize the entire condensation process or the complete digestive process in humans, you can break up the information into smaller sections or chunks and study each section over a period of time. Break up your study materials into chunks using a highlighter or a pen. You can also cover the information around the section with a piece of blank paper so you are only focusing on the one chunk, instead of the surrounding information. This will prevent you from getting distracted and allow you to stay focused on one section at a time. Once you have reviewed and organized your study materials, you should create a study schedule. A study schedule will allow you plan your study time in the most efficient manner possible and avoid procrastinating or wasting time. Try to plan your study schedule at least one to two weeks before the test. This will give you more than enough time to prepare and will ensure you stick to your study schedule.  The study schedule should include one to two studying methods and indicate how many hours a day you will be studying for the test. Try to plan out exactly how much time you will allot to each method and ensure you are able to cover all the information required for the test within the allot timeframe. Keep in mind most people can concentrate well for 45 minutes before losing interest or zoning out. Take breaks between study sessions if you plan to study for more than 45 minutes at a time. For example, on Monday night, you may do a twenty minutes session using the chunking method, followed by a review of key definitions using flashcards for twenty five minutes. On Tuesday night, you may do a review of the previous night’s studying and then move on to a new section in your notes. Once you complete a twenty minute session using the chunking method on a new section, you may do another round of review of key concepts with your flashcards for twenty five minutes. You may then continue this pattern until Friday, and do a big review day on the weekend, taking breaks between study sessions so you can digest the information in your study materials.

While most Google buildings are closed to non-employees, you can easily explore the outside of Google's headquarters without trouble. Be ready to walk a lot, as the entire campus stretches over more than a dozen acres of land. Note recognizable landmarks to track where you've been and where you're heading.  For instance, observe the addresses of different buildings as well as distinctive sculptures or signs. Wear comfortable shoes to help you trek across the campus without hurting your feet. Google buildings are restricted to employees and their guests, but you can visit the central point of Google's headquarters. Find these buildings west of Charleston Park. While there are other buildings on the campus, they are all more spaced out and have less going on in them than these ones.  Charleston Park is a large green area in the city. Make this the first stop on your Googleplex tour, as it is easy to access from the Google parking lots. This cluster of buildings is found near a volleyball court and small green area. In addition the the Google head office, these buildings include Google Buildings 41, 42, and 43. A life-size T-Rex sculpture was placed on the campus by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page as a reminder not to let the company go the way of the dinosaurs. Visit this iron sculpture as part of your Google headquarters tour. Locate the T-Rex, nicknamed "Stan" by Google employees, in front of the main Google buildings. Note that "Stan" is sometimes accessorized with fun items like pink flamingos by Google employees. Google's android statue garden adds a colorful sculpture every time a new operating system is developed. These sculptures are candy-themed, making  them fun and whimsical. Find the garden on the South East point of Landings Drive, a looping street running through the campus.   For instance, you can take a selfie with a jelly bean-filled Android robot, which commemorates the version 4.1 operating system. The garden is located in front of the Android building, which features a large Android sculpture above its entranceway. An impressive sight on the Google campus is one of the company's self-driving cars. There is usually at least one riding around the campus, sometimes transporting passengers to different buildings. Watch for one of these cars, which usually share campus road with other cars and Google bike riders. Google's self-driving car project is called Waymo. The Googleplex features outdoor volleyball courts that are open to the public when they are not in use by employees. Look for these courts in different spots across the campus. The easiest one to find is located in the centre of the campus, across from the main Google building. Google's campus features a gift store that is open to the public from Monday to Friday every week. The store sells Google-themed souvenirs like mugs, sweatshirts, mouse pads, and lunch boxes. Visit the store during business hours, between 10 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. to complete your visit. Google also has an online store that can be accessed at https://www.googlemerchandisestore.com/.

Scoop out a narrow depression using the tip of your trowel. Remember that miniature roses should be planted at least 6 inches (15 cm) deep, while full-sized plants and bushes may need 18 inches (46 cm) to get comfortably situated. Heap the loose soil around the edges of the container rather than throwing it out. You’ll need it to fill in the hole later. Remove the young rose from its nursery pot and transfer it to the growing container. Use your fingers to gently separate the roots so that they’re spread out evenly within the soil. Then, push the loose soil in around the plant and pat it down lightly to compress it.  The top of the soil should be about even with the bud onion (the bulbous, woody stalk at the base of the plant from which the stems will sprout), so that the roots are submerged by 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm).  Be sure to pack the soil firmly enough to anchor the rose, but not enough to smother or constrict it. Plant your rose at about the same level it was at in the pot or container. You will want a pot that is deep enough to fit your root ball and still leave about 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the soil and the top. This helps prevent spilling when watering. If you’re cultivating a full-sized species, drive a gardening stake down into the soil just off to one side of the plant and bind it to the plant's lower canes using a looped rubber band or piece of twine. Once in place, it will act as a support structure for the rose to cling to as it grows.  Sink the stake as deep as possible to make sure it's secure. Ideally, it should reach all the way down to the bottom of the container. When raising an entire bush in a barrel, washtub, or grow bag, it’s a good idea to put down multiple stakes 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) apart. If you attempt to grow larger types of roses without the aid of a separate support structure, they’ll eventually droop and spill out over the sides of the container.

Dig a hole deep enough to seat the rose. Place the rose inside the hole. Provide a stake for large roses to climb.

Remember, if you suspect someone is experiencing shock, it is best to seek medical help as soon as possible. Don't wait for symptoms to get more severe, as shock symptoms can progress rapidly. If the person is not showing signs of life (ie: no breathing, no carotid pulse), start CPR. An untrained person should only attempt chest compressions, not rescue breathing. Ask the 911 operator to talk you through the process if you don't already know how. You might find this wikiHow article on how to perform CPR helpful. Depending on your location, it might be some time before emergency services are available to help. Taking the following steps will help stabilize the person experiencing shock if her condition appears to deteriorate and it is taking time for medical help to arrive.   Offer first aid for visible wounds and injuries. Make the person comfortable. Provide her with a blanket and loosen restrictive clothing.  Keep her from eating or drinking. Since the person may be unable to swallow, it's best to avoid giving her anything to eat or drink to reduce the risk of choking.  Turn her onto her side if she vomits or begins bleeding from the mouth. This will help prevent choking. Proceed with caution if you think the person might have a spinal injury. If a person with a possible spinal injury is choking, try to keep her head, neck, and back in line while rolling both the body and head together. Only attempt this if the person does not have an injury to the head, neck, leg, or spine. This position helps improve blood flow to vital organs.  Lay him on his back and elevate his legs above the heart (about 8 – 12 inches). Do not elevate his head or place a pillow under his head. If you think this position might cause the person any pain, it's best to leave him lying flat and wait for emergency help to arrive. Even if the person seems to be breathing normally, continue to monitor her condition until help arrives. You can provide this information to emergency services when they arrive. You can help reassure and comfort the individual who might be experiencing shock. In addition, you can also monitor the person's condition until help arrives and provide valuable information to the paramedics.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Call 911 or local emergency services immediately. Begin CPR if necessary. Provide treatment. Place the person in the shock position. Monitor the person's breathing. Stay with the injured person until emergency services arrive.

Dampen a washcloth or piece of cotton gauze with warm tap water and hold it against the bleeding mole. Applying pressure will restrict the flow of blood and allow a scab to form. The water on the washcloth will also clean dirt from the cut. If the mole hasn't stopped bleeding after 30 seconds, continue applying pressure until the bleeding stops. If you’d rather not get blood on a washcloth, try using a paper towel or a clean rag. Once you’ve stopped the bleeding, lightly press an ice cube against your cut. This will constrict the small capillaries right beneath your skin and prevent the small wound from reopening. Depending on the size of the cut mole, you might only need to hold the ice cube in place for as few as 15 seconds. Try removing the ice cube after 15 seconds and see if the mole still bleeds. Since a small amount of bacteria may have gotten into the mole when it was cut, it’s a good idea to disinfect the wound before covering it. Wash the area with soap and water or wipe it with an alcohol prep pad. Then, pat it dry and apply a small dab of an antiseptic or antibiotic cream or ointment (like Neosporin) onto the scraped mole. This kind of cream comes in most first-aid kits or can be purchased at a local drug store or pharmacy. As an alternative to the antibiotic cream, splash a small amount of alcohol-free aftershave onto the cut. Or, if you don’t have aftershave, use a splash of witch hazel toner to disinfect the cut. You can purchase aftershave or a witch hazel toner at a pharmacy or department store. Once the mole has stopped bleeding, cover it with a Band-Aid. This will soak up any remaining blood and prevent dirt and dust from getting into the skin wound. If you’re concerned about the cut getting infected, cover the absorbent patch of the Band-Aid with a small amount of medical disinfectant like Neosporin.  If the mole is in a location where a Band-Aid would fall off (e.g., your knee), purchase a specialty Band-Aid designed to fit a joint like your elbow or knee. The scratched mole should heal completely within 2-3 days. If you happen to nick a mole when you’re away from a first-aid kit, you can cover the scratch with petroleum jelly or lip balm. Smear a small amount of the petroleum jelly or lip balm onto your cut mole after you’ve stopped the bleeding with a washcloth. This will form a barrier that keeps blood inside of the cut mole and keeps bacteria out. Gently wipe off the lip balm after about 30 minutes. If your mole is bleeding heavily enough that it soaks through a Band-Aid, cover it instead with a 2 in × 2 in (5.1 cm × 5.1 cm) patch of gauze. Use 2-3 strips of medical tape to secure the gauze in place. The sterile gauze will absorb more blood than a Band-Aid and will also effectively block bacteria from entering the wound. You can purchase gauze and medical tape at any large supermarket or pharmacy.

Dab petroleum jelly or lip balm onto the bleeding mole if you don’t have a Band-Aid. Cover a severely bleeding mole with gauze by applying pressure.

Ants are highly skilled at escaping from containers, no matter what precautions you may take. A store-bought ant farm will probably be safe, but if you've made your own ant farm at home you'll want to check it for any tiny gaps that might allow ants to escape.  An easy way to tell if your ant farm is secure is by filling it with water, wiping the outside dry, and turning it upside down to see if anything drips out. Only fill your ant farm with water if it's empty. Do not attempt to test your ant farm in this way if you've already filled it with dirt and/or ants. When you are ready to add your ants to the ant farm, they may attempt to rush out of their storage container. You can slow them down to more easily transfer them to the ant farm by placing them in a refrigerator for a very brief period of time.  Store the transportation container full of ants in the refrigerator at a low setting, but only for a minute or two. This should slow the ants down sufficiently. Anything longer than two minutes might kill the entire colony, so be sure that you don't leave them unattended for long. Once your ants are in their farm, they should begin exploring their new habitat and digging an extensive network of tunnels. Like all living things, your ants will have some basic needs that must be met if the ants are to survive.  Ants need a source of clean drinking water, but not too much or they will drown. Use an eye dropper to add just a few drops of clean water every other day.  Give your ants fresh food every two to three days, depending on how quickly they're eating. Small insects and tiny scraps of kitchen meat are an ideal food source for young ants, while older ants will enjoy some sweet and sugary crumbs. Keep your ants out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Try to maintain a steady room temperature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 24 degrees Celsius).

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Check your ant farm for holes. Slow down the ants so you can add them to the ant farm. Care for your ant farm.


Remove the rail bolts with a socket wrench and detach them from the table. If two lengths of rail are connected at a corner, you may need to flip them over before you detach them gently. Carefully flip the table over and unbolt the legs. Do not attempt to disassemble the rest of the table without professional help, since removing the coin-operated mechanism can make reassembly difficult or impossible. Some Valley Dynamo coin-operated tables have a metal trim covering the rail bolts. Remove the screws holding the trim in place, slide the trim toward the corner, then lift them up and out. Most tables with a ball return system are also coin-operated, but some tables from the 1970's or '80's have a simpler mechanism. In some models, removing the mechanism without damaging the table is difficult. Unless you have a manual for your model, leave the ball return mechanism attached during transport. You can usually disassemble the rest of the table as described in the standard slate table instructions. If your pool table surface is made from fiberboard (MDF), wood, or any other non-slate material, it is most likely a low-cost "disposable" table. These are not usually meant to be disassembled, not even by a professional. Transport the table in one piece. Some of these tables have folding legs to make transport easier.

Provide a summary of the article in two or three sentences:

Remove only the rails and legs from a coin-operated table. Use caution with ball return systems. Transport non-slate tables in one piece.

Unfortunately, most people who've faked their own deaths screw up this part of the process by cashing in on the insurance check they hoped to get, or getting a speeding ticket. If you want to get away with it, you've got to disappear completely.  Start by hiding out for a few weeks somewhere close by, like a cheap flophouse hotel for a few weeks to lay low. Load up on groceries and hide out watching TV while the police decide to give up on finding you. When you have to go out, wear a disguise. Eventually, you'll have to start making your way elsewhere so you can go about the process of finding your new life. . Who do you want to be, now that the old you is dead? A suave gambler and poet from South Carolina, who decided to forego his family's tuna cannery inheritance and move to Australia to work on cars? A small town bartender who had to move to the bright lights of LA? Decide who you'll want to be, and start working on:   Your new name. Practice signing it, saying it, and introducing yourself with your new name. Make it awesome. Jackson Saint-Bloodrock? Pleased to meet you.  Your new style. How will you craft your new image? Get clothes that are different from your old way of dressing and that will mask the new you people might see in the old you. Dress in such a way that you'd be able to walk past your own mother on the street, and she'll never notice you. Grow a beard, shave your head, change your hair color, embrace leather, do whatever you need to do to cultivate a completely different style.  Your story. What will you tell people about yourself? How will you introduce yourself?  How can you get away with masking your old identity when you meet new people? . Once you've gotten your new identity hammered out and you're using to introducing yourself as Horace McGillicutty, find or consider crafting your own fake documents that will let you start your new life. Flying will likely be out of the question, unless you've got some great forged documents, but try making your way somewhere far off by hitchhiking safely or taking the bus for cheap. Declaring taxes will be difficult, so working under the table and staying on the move will keep you relatively safe. Consider working migrant labors, heading west and checking out farm labor or other contract work that'll be easier get away with under the table. Mushroom picking in Oregon or California can be lucrative, as well as detasseling in Indiana or peach-picking in Georgia. Move around and see the country. Becoming a public figure probably isn't the best idea. Get ready to live a quiet and simple life, socializing little and maintaining a mysterious mist around yourself. When people start to get to close to you, it's time to move on.  Stay away from tourist locations and landmarks; there will be cameras everywhere that may capture your image.
