Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Build an indoor enclosure out of plywood or concrete. Make sure your turtle has enough warmth and light. Add substrate to the bottom of outdoor and indoor enclosures. Landscape the turtle enclosure. Create a shallow pool that your turtles can always access. Clean the enclosure regularly.

Answer: The walls should be adequately high so the turtle does not crawl out. If they are high enough -- at least two feet -- then you don't need a lid. If you do have a lid, make sure there is ventilation so the turtle can breathe. You can also use a Rubbermaid tub. If you are using a porous material, line it with pond liner so that it's easier to clean. Your indoor pen should be in a quiet room, away from slamming doors, heating/cooling vents and drafts. Put a humidifier in the room during winter or when your house is dry, because box turtles need high humidity to stay alive. If your turtle is outdoors and acclimated slowly to the temperature, it can get as cool as 45F (7C) at night. Turtles need UVB radiation which can't get through your window glass, so place a full-spectrum fluorescent light no more than 18 inches (46cm) above the substrate for an indoor enclosure. You should replace these lights every 9 months to 1 year to ensure that sufficient UVB radiation is reaching the animals. Turtles also need a basking light, so hang a 50 watt incandescent bulb with a reflector at one end of the cage. Keep the lights on for 12 hours during the day, and turn them off at night. Turn the basking light off about 20 minutes before you turn off the other light. The background room temperature should be 72 to 75F (22 to 24C) during the day and a little cooler at night. For outdoor turtles, you can use a mixture of clean, unfertilized soil and leaves, making sure that your turtle has a place to dig into and to hide in, and that there is enough soil for hibernation. You'll have to replace the soil around the wading pool as it becomes wet, preventing danger of frost. For indoor turtles, you can use potting soil or newspaper, but be sure to avoid wood shavings and corncob bedding. Make sure the substrate is deep enough for the turtle to burrow under so they feel safe. Different species of box turtle need different levels of humidity in their substrate, so do your research to figure out how often you need to mist their enclosure. Fill his enclosure with edible plants like mint, common grass, or cooking herbs like thyme or chives. Make it an adventure playground with small logs to climb, flower pots to hide in, rocks to bask on, and of course a water bowl to soak in and drink from. Part of the enclosure must get direct sun (especially in the early morning for your turtle to bask in and warm up so he'll feel like eating) and part must have shade. Turtles appreciate a pile of cut grass that you dampen daily; they will like to burrow down and sleep there. You can do this whether you are caring for your turtle outdoors or indoors. These turtles love wading in water, so make sure to have a little pool of water for your turtle to play in. Use room-temperature water, because they don't do well in cold. It's best to use a large, shallow cat litter pan or a shallow plant saucer, but a dish or pan will also work. Make sure the pan is sunk into the substrate so that the lip is level with the substrate and the turtle can approach from all sides. The water should be no higher than of their shell deep, so they don't drown. This is usually about 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.1cm) deep, but shallower for baby turtles. Clean the water daily, because turtles often poop in the water. Whether you are caring for your box turtle indoors or outdoors, it's important to keep its environment clean. You have to be diligent about cleaning its bedding at last once a week, cleaning its water bowl daily, and then cleaning the entire cage once a month, using dish washing soap (just make sure the soap is ammonia free). You can clean the enclosure with a very diluted 1:32 bleach solution, allow to air dry, then rinse. Don't use this on porous surfaces. Remove the turtle before cleaning and make sure that the soap mixture is completely gone before you put the turtle back so the chemicals in the soap or bleach don't harm it.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Chat with your grandparent and learn if she needs help. Come up with ideas of how you can help. Help your grandparent arrange the completion of bigger tasks. Show up to your grandparent's house to do the work. Do the work well. Follow through with ensuring that the hired company or contractor completes the work.

Answer: Your grandparent might still live independently, and in that case, she almost certainly would welcome help with chores around the house. Ask your grandparent if she could use your help with anything. Alternatively, if you know that your grandparent needs some help, you could surprise her by showing up unexpectedly to do the work. If your grandparent does not want to ask you to help due to pride or a strong feeling of independence, or if she is vague about needing help, think of some ways in which you can help her. Vacuum the house Dust the furniture Pull weeds in the garden Help harvest homegrown vegetables Wash the walls Deep clean the carpets Do the laundry Paint a room Sometimes, your grandparent's home might need professional work done that you cannot help complete. However, you can help your grandparent call different companies or contractors to get price estimates and to get the work scheduled. Having a new roof installed Having a new appliance delivered and installed Getting a porch or deck built onto the house Having a pest issue resolved Having some kind of renovation done inside the house, like replacing cabinets You can arrange a day and time that works for both you and your grandparent, or you can show up to surprise her. Be sure to follow through with going to her home, if she is expecting you. You will let her down and lose trust if you do not show up. Be polite and respectful if your grandparent is hesitant to let you help due to pride or feelings of independence. While she might truly need the help, she could find it offensive or upsetting if you become pushy about it. If your grandparent does not want you to do as much work as you planned to do, then complete the tasks she is allowing you to do and try to get to the others next time. You are volunteering your time to help your grandparent, but you should still be sure to complete the work to the best of your ability. Your grandparent probably did a lot to help your parents raise you, and this is your opportunity to help repay the favor. This is also a good time to show her how much you appreciate and care about her. You want your grandparent to live in comfort and health, so do your best to ensure that this happens when you offer to take care of chores personally. If you can, make plans to be at your grandparent's house the day that the work is supposed to be completed so that you can make sure it gets done. You might need to take your grandparent to your house or somewhere else for the day, depending on what kind of work is being done on her house. Take care of those arrangements ahead of time, if necessary.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Poke the nail through the bottom of each can/cup. Thread one end of the string into one of the cans. Tie the string inside the receiver. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the second receiver. Stretch the string out until it is taut. Talk to the person on the other end.

Answer:
For this simple project, you'll need: Two tin or aluminum cans, or two papers cups Five-to-ten meters of string A hammer A nail Two tin or aluminum cans will hold up better than plastic ones. The string is less likely to tear through the bottom of a tin or aluminum can. Make the holes in the cans large enough to feed the string through the holes. Take the entire length of string and thread one end of it into one of the receivers. Make sure you feed the string from the outside of the receiver through the bottom and into the receiver. Each can will be act as a receiver. Pull the string through far enough that you can tie a good knot in it without having to reach inside the receiver. If the first knot isn't large enough to keep the string from falling out of the nail hole, then knot it again. If you're using plastic cups instead of cans for your receiver, tie the string to the nail and leave the nail inside the cup. This will help keep the string inside the cup, as the string is more likely to tear a larger hole in the plastic. Make sure you secure the string in the first side before threading it into the other receiver since it will simply pull away from the first one. Now that you have finished your first receiver, you need to thread the other end of the string into the second receiver and secure it. Again, if you're using paper cups for receivers, then you may want to get a second nail that you can use to help tie off the string. All sound is created by sound waves traveling across a substance. This is the same for voices and even sounds vibrating down stringed instruments, such as violins or guitars. So, you want the string to be stretched tight like a violin string in order for the sound to travel across it effectively. Of course, you don't want to pull so tight that the string breaks or pulls the string out through the bottom of your receivers. Just pull the string tight enough that you can pluck the string and it will twang. Now that you've finished the setup for your walkie talkie, use it communicate. Speak into the receiver as the other person listens on the other receiver and send some secret messages. Do not pull the string connecting the paper cups or aluminum/tin cans too tightly when using the walkie talkies. Too much force could cause the string to pop out of the cups or cans. If you make the receivers with tin or aluminum cans, be careful when placing your ear or mouth to the cans in case there are jagged edges around the lip of the cans.
