Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen for suicidal ideation. Look for behavioral changes or clues. Watch for other signs of suicide risk. Ask if they have a plan. Call emergency services Stay with your friend.

Answer: Suicidal ideation is having and/or expressing thoughts of suicide. Perhaps you have become concerned because your friend expressed thoughts of suicide, or made a statement like, "The world would be better off without me." Remain calm and try to get as much information as possible. You want to determine, to the best of your abilities, if you think this person is in imminent danger of hurting themselves. Do not interrogate them (even though you will probably want to); rather, spend most of your time listening, asking occasional questions. Other examples of suicidal ideation you might hear include things like, "I wish I was dead," "Everyone would be happier if I was gone," or "It would have been better if I were never born." Your friend might also seem hopeless about life in general or a particular situation, or you may have noticed very sudden personality changes in your friend (extreme depression or anxiety, for example). Remind your friend you are there for them. You could say, "Thank you for telling me this. You mean a lot to me, and I want to support you." Suicidal people often follow similar patterns of behavior. Consider if you've recently seen any of the following in your friend: Increased drug or alcohol use Change in their normal routine; for example, sleeping more or less, or not going to school or work Mood swings or other personality changes Reckless or self-destructive behavior (using drugs, driving recklessly) Giving away possessions, particularly important ones Looking for a way to kill themselves; for example, researching suicide methods online Saying goodbye to people in a way that makes you think they are saying goodbye forever. There are warning signs you can look out for in someone who may be contemplating suicide or going through some kind of distress, which could possibly lead to suicide. These may include: Unbearable feelings. Is the person who is expressing suicidal ideation (SI) feeling hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness, despair, and/or self-doubt? Usually, the more intense these negative emotions are the more "unbearable" it is for the person experiencing them, and the more likely it is for suicide. Preparing to die. Does the person's behavior reflect that they are "taking care of business" or making final plans. I.e., preparing wills, life insurance, giving away valued possessions, or making verbal references to what others may or may not do after they are gone? Rehearsing suicide. Has this person been rehearsing suicide, such as discussing various methods of how they would take their own life? For example, they might talk about killing themselves with a gun, knife, rope, overdose and/or drug abuse, car crash, or walking into traffic. Changing behaviors. Pay attention to the behaviors of someone who you think may be contemplating suicide. Are they using drugs or alcohol? Be aware that when emotionally unstable people are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the impulsivity of their behaviors increase as well and they may make unsound rash decisions to act out their suicidal thoughts. Isolation. Is the person disconnecting from friends and family? Are they increasingly isolating themselves? Prior mental health issues. Is there a prior mental health diagnosis? Sometimes, someone who is experiencing mental illness and is not properly supported with connections to formal and informal support systems may be at higher risk of experiencing SI. Try to determine if the person has a plan to kill themselves. Ask the person if they know their timeline and method. For example, have they stockpiled pills, or do they have access to a weapon? Have they written a note to be left behind? If a person has a plan they can articulate to you, you need to act very quickly. The more detailed the plan is, the more likely it is that the individual will act on it. You could say, "Have you thought about how you would do it? Do you know when you would do it?" Ask questions in a matter-of-fact way. Even though it is extremely disturbing news, remain calm and non-judgmental. Do not be afraid to ask your friend these direct questions. Asking them about suicidal thoughts or plans will not cause them to act upon them. if necessary. If you believe that you are in an emergency situation, that a suicide attempt is about to or has already happened (if you believe the person ingested pills, for example), call emergency services, such as 911 in the US, immediately. It is better to have called and been wrong than to have ignored your gut feeling. For example, say your friend calls you in the middle of the night and sounds very different. They share with you their thoughts of suicide and suddenly they are silent. While it is possible they have fallen asleep, you are not able to rouse them through the phone. If they live alone or you do not have a way to contact anybody they live with, this is a time to call emergency services. If you do not believe the person is in immediate danger, call a suicide helpline first to have them help you assess the situation and determine the next steps you should take. Another option is to call the person's therapist, primary care provider, or psychiatrist (if there is one). Having accessible, trained help will help both of you during this time of crisis. If you believe that your friend is at high-risk for suicide, do not leave them. Stay with the person until someone else that your friend trusts is able to be there, or reach out for professional help. Keep talking to your friend until additional help arrives. Make sure there is nothing around the person that they could use to harm themselves. Figure out what makes your friend calm and comfortable, and go with that. If it seems like your friend seems calmer with your quiet presence, it might be better to sit quietly with them and offer reassuring support by holding their hand or sitting closely to them. If your friend seems reassured by your voice, keep talking. Talk to your friend about what they mean to you, the fun times you've had, or favorite memories together.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Scrub the cantaloupe. Remove the seeds. Store leftovers.

Answer: Rinse the melon under running water and scrub it thoroughly with a vegetable brush. This will remove dirt and pathogens from the skin, and prevent food-borne illnesses. Once the rind and green have been cut from the melon, cut the cantaloupe in half through the center. Place the halves cut-side up on a flat surface. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from the center, but don't scoop out the sweet and juicy orange flesh. The seeds can either be discarded into a compost bin or cleaned and roasted like pumpkin seeds. Transfer any leftover cantaloupe chunks to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for about three days. For longer storage, keep the cantaloupe in the freezer for up to a year.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Turn the box upside-down. Drill at least 10 holes into the 24" x 36" board. Cut a piece of black mesh fabric to cover the inside of the bottom board. Turn the box right-side up again. Place the mesh fabric inside against the bottom board. Drill at least 10 holes into the remaining 24" x 36" (60 cm by 90 cm) board. Cut or tear newspaper into 1" (2.5 cm) strips for the worm bedding. Place the torn newsprint into the worm bed box. Add some dirt and peat moss so that the worms can burrow and dig.

Answer:
The 24" x 36" (60 cm by 90 cm) board should be on top. Cut a piece of black mesh fabric to cover the inside of the bottom board. Staple the fabric to the board by stapling along the perimeter of the fabric. The fabric will prevent the worms from leaving the box while still allowing them to breathe. Cover the top of the board with black mesh fabric, and staple the fabric into place. This board is the lid for your worm bed, and you can set it aside for the moment. Avoid using glossy magazine paper, which is toxic to worms. Spray the bedding with water so that it is damp but not dripping wet. Ideally, the worm bin bedding should be at about 80% moisture.
