Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut the plants close to the ground and put them right into a garbage bag. Dig up the roots to prevent them from growing back. Dispose of the plants away from where people might encounter them.

Answer: If you want to cut down large plants before getting rid of them, start by using a pair of garden shears to cut the plants as close to the ground as you can. This will cause the plant to die, and you can easily pull it away from the other plants in the area and dispose of it. Make sure to put the plants into a garbage bag immediately to prevent the oil from getting on other plants and surfaces. Keep in mind that the plant is still covered in urushiol even after it dies, so it's important to use caution when you remove it. Don't let any part of the plant come into contact with your skin. After you finish cutting the plants, you can use a shovel or pitchfork to loosen the soil at the base of the plant. Dig down to a depth of about 8in (20cm) to access the plant's roots, and then use the shovel or pitchfork to remove them. Put the roots with the other parts of the plant for disposal. Use the same precautions when digging up the roots as you do for the rest of the plant. The roots also have urushiol on them. You can bury the plants 30cm (12in) deep in the ground to keep them from creating a hazard to people in the area. Another option is to place them into a large, heavy-duty garbage bag and attach a tag or label to indicate the contents of the bag. For example, write "poison ivy" on a white, adhesive label and stick it onto the bag. Dispose of the bag with the rest of your garbage. Never burn poison ivy plants! The smoke is toxic. Do not add poison ivy plants to compost.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay calm. Smile. Greet her with a "hello". Ask a favor. Ask a question. Make a small statement.

Answer: Try not to overthink the situation. Though you want to talk to this girl very much, remember that she is not perfect and may be as nervous as you. Girls have emotions and feelings just like you do and may be wondering the right way to approach you as well. Or she may be waiting for you to make the first move!. Breathe deeply before you talk to her. Deep breaths help calm you down. When you see her, greet her with a sweet smile. Smiles indicate friendliness and warmth. You may have never smiled at her before, so she may have no idea that you want to talk to her. Smiling at her will plant a seed in her mind that you have some level of interest. She won't be as caught off guard when you actually do speak to her. If you see her in the mornings or walk past her on your way to class, tell her "hello." This will likely begin to spark an interest in her to know more about you and to talk to you. This also will guarantee that she notices you. Unless you have spoken to her before, however, don't use her name when you say "hello." She might find it creepy if you know her name but she doesn't know you or yours, especially if you go to a big school. Don't look up any information about her either because this can come across as stalker-like behavior. Only use her name if she has told you what it is. One way to begin having small conversations with her is to ask her for a small favor. This is another way to guarantee that she notices you. For instance, you might ask her something like "can you grab a cup for me?" if she is standing by the cups in the cafeteria. You might also ask something like "can you let me borrow a pencil?" if you have a class with her, just make sure that you give the pencil back. Don't do this too often. If you ask her to do things for you too often, she will begin to think that maybe you're using her. Another great way to begin having small conversations is to ask her small questions. She will appreciate the opportunity to be able to help you if you ask questions like "what page did the teacher say we should turn to?" or "what is our homework assignment for tonight?" If you're lucky, she may begin to rely on you when she has questions as well and then you can spark up conversations. You can also begin the conversation with her by making small statements that don't necessarily require a response. Saying things like "wow, it's a nice day today" or "this lunch is so good" are great ways to speak to her without fear, because such does not require her to respond. However, she will likely respond to you if she is interested, so continue the conversation from there.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pull out an old phone. Install Skype on your primary phones. Install the old phone in the room.

Answer: Go find a smart phone that you no longer use, but that is in working condition. It doesn't have to be the most up-to-date model, but it should have sufficient storage to download the Skype application. Delete other apps to make room, if necessary. Now that the old phone has Skype up and running, go through and make sure that you have active Skype accounts on any phones that you plan to use to monitor your baby, usually your primary cell phone. Use a stand or a shelf to position the phone so that it captures the entirety of your baby's room or just the crib area, essentially whatever it is you would like to view. Make sure that you get the distance right so that you can see you baby's movements, but also small details as well. It may help to pull up Skype as you are positioning the room phone. Have your partner or someone else stand in another location and tell you what they are seeing on their connected phone. This will allow you to make small adjustments in positioning.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take a step back. Shed mistaken beliefs. Accept change. Meditate Write about your past.

Answer:
In order to face the past and let go of it, you will have to think about it from an objective position. Reflect on your past, and try to narrow down exactly what is holding you back. Common detractors can take several forms: Sensual (obsession with or shame about sexual matters or material things, for instance) Aversion (pain from the past causes you to avoid a person or opportunity, for example) Ill will (wishing harm or trouble upon others) Restlessness/agitation Lack of motivation or energy Doubt Deeply-rooted beliefs often motivate our actions and thoughts in powerful ways. When you are having trouble letting go of the past, a conscious or subconscious belief might be the cause. Challenging and changing those beliefs can help you move on. For instance, you may have told yourself all your life that you want to reach a certain income level in order to be happy. However, your pursuits might have been holding you back from things you genuinely enjoy, such as hobbies or spending time with your family. Challenge your belief, resolve to spend more time on other areas of life, and reassess how you feel. It can be difficult to change deep beliefs, especially when they are informed by powerful influences like culture, family, and religion. Give yourself time to work through your beliefs, and talk to a friend or counselor if you need help. Moving forward in life can be a scary thing. Instead of fearing the unknown, however, accept change as part of life and who you are. Focus on thinking of change as a positive force: For instance, if you lose your job, stay positive by thinking of it as an opportunity to find gather new skills and experiences in a different position or career. or pray. The strong emotional responses that pain, regret, and other past stressors cause can leave lingering effects in the mind. A calm, balanced mind is an absolute necessity when letting go of the past. Meditation and/or prayer can help put your mind in a more stable and centered place. Mindfulness meditation helps one focus on the here and now. Typically, it involves focusing on your breathing as you attempt to clear your mind of distracting thoughts. If have or are open to personal faith or a religious belief, prayer can be very beneficial. If you follow a certain practice, you can follow set prayers. Alternatively, you can pray using your own words, silently or out loud. Journaling and other forms of writing (like a private blog) can be a great way to come to terms with your past and to move forward. Try writing about the things that bother you, have hurt you, or that you think are holding you back. The experience of expressing yourself can be cathartic. Since you are writing only for yourself, you also don't have to fear what others will think or say, which can build confidence.
