Problem: Article: ), to the cardboard. To ensure that the reflective surface stays on properly, cut it a little larger than your cardboard and tape the extras to the cardboard using scotch tape. Stick them such that they will be creating the box shape you need. Use scotch or masking tape to hold the pieces together, temporarily. The image shows what it should look like at this point. Another viewpoint from the outside. Be sure that the gaps are closed between the pieces of cardboard. Cut off any duct tape that protrudes past the soft box. Check also that you aren't blocking anything with the tape. Be sure that it is only about a half an inch bigger than the opening of the soft box. Do this to all four sides. Using small amounts of scotch tape, fasten the edges over the side of the soft box.
Summary: Using glue or double sided tape, fasten your choice of reflective surface (aluminum foil, Mylar, etc. Piece the pieces together. While being sure that the soft box maintains its shape, start adding the duct tape to the outside. Periodically, as you progress in sticking it together, check to make sure that the soft box will fit your camera's flash. Get whatever you are going to use for the diffuser part of the soft box and place it on a table or surface. Place double sided tape over the top of the box to which you will be fastening the diffusion material. Place the box on top of the diffusion material. Using the duct tape again, secure the diffusion material to your soft box. Make whatever final adjustments that you need to be sure that your soft box is secure. Start experimenting.

Problem: Article: Remove the cap. Use a utility knife to cut off the top of the bottle slightly below where the neck straightens. To cut an even line, wrap a piece of masking tape around the bottle to mark where you'll cut. Hold the bottle top so the capless end is facing downward. Insert this into the bottle bottom. Hold the bottle top in place at the top of the bottle bottom with your fingers. Staple the top to the bottom on four opposing sides. If you don't have a stapler, tape the seam between the inverted bottle top and the bottle bottom instead. If you want to reuse your traps, fasten the bottle top and bottom with clothespins. You only need to unfasten the clothespins to clean, empty, and refill your 2-liter bottle trap. Drill two holes an inch (2.5 cm) below the top of the trap, with each hole on opposite sides of the bottle. Use a drill bit large enough to allow your cord to pass through. Feed one end apiece of a length of cord into the two holes holes. Knot the ends of the cord and it's ready to hang. Pour honey or sugar water directly into the bottom of the trap. You don't need much; a thin layer will be enough to attract bees. Bees will be attracted to the sweetness and won't be able to escape, eventually dying in the trap. Save the lives of bees by only using honey or sugar water. When you see a bee trapped inside, take it away from your home and carefully release it. To ensure bees that enter your trap don't make it out alive, add a tablespoon (15 ml) of liquid laundry soap to your bait. Distribute the soap throughout the bait by stirring it with a utensil. The soap will poison and kill all bees that ingest it. Placing your traps too close to bee access points may actually draw more indoors. Prioritize locations in the sun. Sunlight will make the bait more effective and also cause bees to die in the trap faster. Hanging traps tend to attract bees better than ground traps. Ground traps, however, can be effective guarding window access points. If you've fastened your bottle top and bottom with staples, you'll either need to remove the staples to clean and refill the trap or make a new one. Otherwise, remove the tape or clothespins, dump the contents of the trap, rinse it, and refill it with honey or sugar water. These traps will attract many kinds of insects, including ants. Use natural methods to prevent and remove ants.
Summary: Cut away the top third of a clean 2-liter soda bottle. Invert the bottle top to nest it in the bottle bottom. Drill holes and add cord to make a hanging trap. Use honey or sugar water as bait. Poison bees with laundry soap. Position your traps near bee access points. Check traps every two weeks.

Problem: Article: For example, pick a location like your bed, so that if the ferret falls, it won't land on the floor and get hurt. You could also sit in a chair or on a sofa. Until your ferret is comfortable sitting on your shoulder, never walk over a hard surface with the animal perched on top of you. Also firmly say the word "steady." Over time, the ferret will come to associate this verbal command with staying in place on your shoulders. Pet the animal and give it a few scratches under its chin so it associates perching on your shoulder with positive reinforcement. While the ferret perches, speak to it in a kind, encouraging tone. With a few repetitions, your ferret will figure out that it's rewarded if it stays on your shoulder and chastised if it tries to jump down. Since it will take the ferret some time to learn the trick, let it dismount after about 10 seconds. Even if the ferret does jump down, never strike the animal or shout at it out of anger. As before, place a treat on your shoulder, lift the ferret up, and command it: "steady." Once it's comfortable with staying in place for 10 seconds, move on to 20 seconds, then 30 seconds, then 1 minute. With enough repetitions (and enough rewards), your ferret will learn to sit on your shoulder for as long as you'd like it to. At this point, you can freely walk around your home with the ferret on your shoulder.
Summary: Train the ferret over a soft surface. Place the ferret on your shoulders and give it a treat. Say "no" in a sharp voice if the ferret tries to jump off. Train the ferret to sit on your shoulder for longer periods of time.

Problem: Article: Spread the pre-soaked soybeans on top of a lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 350F (177C) for 40 to 45 minutes, stirring them often. They are ready when they are light brown and crunchy. You can use the same technique in an electric frying pan. Grease the pan, add the beans, and fry them at 350F (177C) for 40 to 50 minutes, stirring often. Add the pre-soaked soybeans into a large crockpot. Cover them with hot water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, then cover the pot. Cook the beans on HIGH for 6 to 8 hours. Season 4 cups (620 grams) of edamame beans with 2 tablespoons (34 grams) of salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes, then add them to a large pot of salted water. Boil them, uncovered, for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the beans, then allow them to cool before serving. You can serve them in their pots or you can hull them first.
Summary:
Roast soybeans if you desire something more crunchy. Use a crock pot if you have more time. Boil young green soybeans (edamame) for 5 to 6 minutes.
