Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spread steamed beans on trays as for indoor drying. Cover the beans with cloth netting that has a mesh no bigger than 1/2 inch (1.25 cm). Put the trays of beans in direct sunlight on top of a platform or some other arrangement such as spaced bricks that will allow air to circulate underneath the trays. Stir the beans gently with your fingers several times a day to help them dry evenly. Stack the drying trays of beans under a shelter and cover them with a carton or clean sheet to protect the beans from dew at night. Place the drying trays in the sun the next day after uncovering them if needed. Test for dryness after the beans have cooled from the second day of drying.

Answer: This protects them from insects and air-borne debris. Alternatively, you can consider bringing the trays indoors at night. If you know the night air will be very dry, covering the outdoor trays is not necessary. Green, snap, string, or wax beans are dry enough when they look and feel brittle. Lima or shell beans are dry enough when they look and feel hard, brittle, and break cleanly when they are broken.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Trim your cat's claws Brush your cat Get the right cat shampoo. Make your cat want to bathe.

Answer: . Your cat may become excited or scared when covered in water, so to decrease the damage they may cause, trim their nails before you give them a bath. Try to do this a few hours or even a day or two before the bath so they have time to calm down bathing. Take care to cut at a point which will not cause pain or bleeding. Giving your kitty treats as a reward for getting their nails trimmed will always make them feel better and calmer. . Do not skip this step. Brushing the cat will help remove any knots and tangles in the fur, which will be much more difficult and painful to remove once your cat is wet. If your kitty likes getting brushed, then you can use the brush to make the kitty feel more at home in the tub. Sometimes you can even brush your cat as a way to distract them enough to allow their nails to be trimmed. This is a great way of killing two birds with one stone, but you'll need another person to help you. You can get kitty shampoo from your vet or local pet store. Check the instructions to see if it's right for your cat, and dilute it with water if necessary. Using regular human shampoo can not only dry out your cat's skin but can be toxic for your cat. Don't use dog shampoo in a pinch, either. You're better off using water rather than a product that can harm your cat. You may want a washcloth for massaging the shampoo onto your cat's body, but your hands may actually be better for this. The first thing you should do is tire your kitty out, so they are at their most mellow before they enter the water. This will make them less likely to bite, scratch, or to try to get away. Pick a time when your kitty is at their calmest often after they have been fed. If they still act hyper, play with them as much as you can until they are worn out. Here are some other ways to get your kitty adjusted to the bath before you start bathing them: Put some cat toys in the empty tub. Place your cat in it and play for a few minutes. Then stop and add a little water before playing again. By doing so, you'll get your cat used to the tub and water. Bath time will soon be associated with something pleasant and non-threatening. You could also have a special toy just for bath time, such as a mouse on a string or something that floats. Only allow your cat to play with this toy in the tub and it will inspire him to look forward to bathing, instead of fearing it. You can also create positive associations with baths by offering your cat its favorite treat before and after bathing or by giving it gentle head or belly scratches as you wash it.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Refrain from responding. Set boundaries. Remain calm.

Answer: This is a common way that people express disapproval. Sometimes when people say something offensive, they're hoping for a response. When you don't give them what they want, they may register that they've offended you. This is different than simply pretending they didn't say something offensive. You must actively refrain from giving the response they want. If someone tells an offensive joke, refusing to laugh or smile shows that you don't approve of their humor. If some asks you a question and uses a slur or offensive language, you can opt to not answer. Instead of simply not responding, you can respond directly to the offensive comment. Let the person know that if they want to converse with you, they'll have to honor your boundaries. You can say, "I'm sorry, but I can't continue this conversation if you're going to use that language" or "I need you to use a different tone so that I can hear what you're saying without taking offense." This is important in order to not escalate the situation. Use a measured, casual tone when expressing your boundaries. You don't want to come off as threatening. Remember that you're not telling them what they need to do; you're telling them what your needs are in order for the conversation to continue. Even if someone has said something highly offensive, becoming visibly upset will not help the situation.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set yellow sticky traps out. Set out a trap for adult flies. Try cinnamon to kill the larvae. Use pyrethrin spray. Try biological controls. Use diatomaceous earth.

Answer:
These can be found in any garden center. Egg-laying adults will be attracted to the yellow paper and then get stuck. Place several sticky paper traps in your potted plants or garden. Remove the traps when they are covered in flies and they will be unable to lay eggs. Vinegar (or beer) will attract and kill adult gnats. All you have to do is set out a few homemade traps. Pour ordinary vinegar (or beer) into several jars with lids. Add a few drops of dish soap to the liquid. Close the lids and poke several holes into them. Leave the jars scattered throughout the area infested by gnats. The adults will fly into the jars and die. Cinnamon is a natural fungicide. It will kill the fungus that the larvae feed on, essentially starving them to death. Simply sprinkle cinnamon on the surface of the soil in your potted plants or garden beds. A variety of pesticides containing pyrethrin are available at gardening and home supply stores. These can kill adult fungus gnats, but not larvae. Since fungus gnats breed rapidly, new adults will appear each day. This means that you will have to repeat sprays every day for several weeks to control the gnats. Pesticide sprays containing bifenthrin and cyfluthrin can also work. Always follow the instructions and safety recommendations provided with the pesticide spray. A variety of other organisms, such as nematodes (roundworms), rove beetles, and certain bacteria will kill fungus gnats or their larvae. These are commercially available and sold as gnat, mosquito, or fly controls. Place a thin layer of diatomaceous eartha naturally occurring sedimentover top the top of your soil. A layer about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick will prevent gnats from laying eggs in your soil. D.E., as it's known, can be purchased at any plant supply store or nursery.
