In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pick up the bulk of the vomit with a couple of dry, folded paper towels, but take care not to squash the vomit particles down into the carpet. Using a spoon or knife may help. Start blotting and dabbing the vomit until the chunks and moisture are mostly gone. With each blot and dab, be sure to use a clean section of the towel; you may need more than one towel if the carpeted area is large. This will absorb the rest of the moisture that remains below the surface of the carpet. Cover the entire carpeted area with baking soda or corn starch. The baking soda or corn starch will likely dry within 2 hours, and they may become clumpy. Once the baking soda or corn starch is dry, use a vacuum to completely suck up the remaining particles. These cleaners are readily available in the cleaning aisle of your local store, or in the pet supplies aisle. Check the container before buying the cleaner to make sure it is enzyme based; this means the cleaner will break down the odor-causing proteins so they can be removed - a good example is Nature's Miracle. They are effective in removing stains, too. Spray the area with the cleaner until it is very damp. The cleaner container may say that the cleaner needs to sit for a longer or shorter period of time. Read the back of the container for specific instructions. Generally, 1-2 hours will allow the product to remove stains and odor. You may even want to keep your pet in a different room for the time being. Once the cleaner completely dries, it can be walked on again.
Summary: Use paper towels to remove as much of the vomit as possible. Using paper towels or an old rag, absorb any remaining moisture. Sprinkle the area with baking soda or corn starch. Vacuum up the baking soda or corn starch once dry. Apply an enzyme based carpet cleaner. Let the cleaner sit for 1-2 hours. Keep your pet away from the area until it dries.

Once the leaves reach at least 2 inches (5.1cm), you can start harvesting your butter lettuce at any time! The earlier you harvest the leaves, the sweeter and more tender they will be. As the lettuce continues to grow, the leaves will become more bitter. Wash the leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels before eating them. It is not recommended to pull leaves from a lettuce head if you plan to harvest the entire head. Full heads will reach maturity and be ready to harvest between 55 and 75 days. Use the shears or knife to cut the lettuce just below the crown, about 1 inch (2.5cm) from the ground. Do not wash the lettuce until you are ready to use it. Place a couple of paper towels around the unwashed lettuce to help absorb excess moisture. Keep the bag or container tightly sealed until you are ready to use the lettuce. Be sure to thoroughly wash your lettuce before eating it. Pay special attention to full heads of lettuce to make sure you clear out insects that may be hiding in the inner leaves. If you use neem oil or a pesticide on your lettuce, then you'll need to thoroughly clean it before you eat it. You may want to use a vegetable wash.

One-sentence summary -- Pull lettuce leaves off as needed for immediate use. Use garden shears or a knife to harvest a full head of lettuce. Store your lettuce in a plastic bag or container in the fridge for 7-10 days.

Q: As you and your brother grew up together, you've probably had your share of fights. However, sometimes squabbles cross a line and become hostile acts or even bully-like behavior. In those instances, it's best to get a parent involved who can mediate the situation and take action as needed. Picking on a sibling is normal. However, if your brother continuous to torment you about the same topic over several days or weeks, it might be bully behavior. If your brother doesn't apologize or try to make up with you after a fight, or continues to show hostility towards you at all times, it's a sign of bullying. Having some type of advantage, like being bigger/older/more popular, can quickly turn simple sibling rivalries into a bullying situation. If you think your brother is legitimately bullying you, talk to a parent right away. If you believe that a situation is out of control and you haven't been able to reach any kind of agreement on your own, it may be helpful to have one or both parents moderate a conversation. This can allow both you and your brother to express your thoughts and feelings on the conflict in a safe, supportive environment. Your parents can also help keep the peace if a disagreement arises, and ultimately give some type of command on how to proceed. Have your parents sit down with both of you individually, then together to moderate a family discussion. Encourage your parents to try and find a solution that makes everyone happy. Ideally, you should be able to arrive at some type of win/win situation. If you were unsuccessful at reaching a compromise on your own with your brother, your parents' final say in the matter should resolve the conflict. If your parents are ignoring your brother's aggressive, annoying, or otherwise problematic behavior, you may need to bring it to their attention. Ask your parents to be fair and apply the same rules to both you and your brother, and to enforce the rules to keep the peace. Your parents may not be aware of the situation, or may not realize its extent. It's easy for parents to get caught up between work and family distractions. Make a point of bringing problems to your parents' attention when you haven't been able to resolve those issues on your own. This may not stop your brother at the moment from being annoying, but it can help you build a stronger sibling relationship. It can also provide a much-needed break from any tension that might have been building between you at home. Sometimes getting out of the house and having a positive, shared experience can help you bond with a sibling. At the very least, a group outing should distract your brother from his problematic behavior. You can use the time with your family to find things that make everyone happy, and try to incorporate those elements into your everyday lives.
A: Recognize behavior that requires a parent. Have your parents mediate a conversation. Encourage your parents to enforce the rules. Try to plan family activities that bring everyone together.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To increase conversation, your room should be just large enough to hold your guests and have breathable circulation. This will encourage guests to mingle and get to know people they might not normally talk with. For parties between friends, too close is generally better than too open. Clustering all of the seats together can make the room feel unbalanced and discourage close conversations. Visually divide the room into quadrants and place an equal amount of seats in each quarter. Unless you're having a movie night, TVs are distracting and inhibit conversation. Ignore the TV while setting up your furniture or even face chairs away from it to encourage conversation. If your TV takes up a lot of space and is removable, you may store it in the other room during the party. In case anyone is left without a chair and wants one, keep a few folding chairs nearby. If a guest wants to join a seated conversation, they can set up a folding chair to feel comfortable and welcome. You can also use throw pillows or beanbags for extra seating, if needed.

SUMMARY:
Choose a party area that is contained, yet comfortable. Arranging your furniture in seating arrangements for 2-4 people. Set your furniture away from the TV. Keep extra chairs on hand.
