Q: Once a lawsuit is filed, the case enters the "discovery" phase. During this pre-trial phase of the case, parties seek facts from each other and non-parties who have information about the case. Attorneys for the parties will send written questions and requests for documents. Your lawyer should meet with you to discuss these requests and draft your response. You may have to sign a verification swearing that you answered the questions truthfully. Attorneys will take depositions of individuals under oath. Most often, attorneys will question people who they may call as a trial witness. Witnesses must answer questions under oath and in front of a court reporter. Before the start of the trial, attorneys will file motions with the court to try and have certain evidence kept out of trial or to have the case dismissed in its entirety. The judge will typically rule on these motions before the trial begins. If either party requested a jury trial, one of the very first events in the case is the selection of the jury. It is important to note that opposing attorneys can agree on a jury member, but their only really power is to strike jurors that they think will hurt their case. For instance, in a medical malpractice case, injured parties don't want medical personnel on their jury because they want their expert explaining the medical condition. A person becomes a member of the jury when neither party strikes them as a potential juror. During an opening statement, the attorneys for both parties lay out the facts of their case and tell the judge or jury what they will prove during the trial. Both parties will have the opportunity to present witnesses to support their version of the case. The opposing party will then have the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses and attempt to show that they are not credible or that they are biased. After both parties have presented their cases, each side will have the opportunity to give final arguments on the case. The burden to prove that there is a legally actionable case supported by facts is on the plaintiff in a civil case or on the prosecutor in a criminal case. Attorneys for each party will reiterate the important facts of their case. Once both parties finish their closing arguments, the judge or jury will take some time to make a final decision on the case. The jury will decide whether the plaintiff proved his or her case, and if so the amount of damages that they are due. Once the verdict is rendered, the trial is over.
A: Participate in the discovery process. File pretrial motions. Choose a jury. Give opening statements. Present and cross-examine witnesses. Give closing arguments. Receive a jury verdict.

Article: Visit a garden-supply retailer or website. Find out which breed of mantis you'd like to keep as an indoor pet and/or introduce to your yard. Expect anywhere from 50 to 200 babies, or "nymphs," to hatch from a single egg. Since mantises will not survive winter weather, wait for spring or summer to hatch them, once the weather has turned consistently warm. If you buy your egg case early, refrigerate it in a container that allows air to circulate. Then take it out four to eight weeks before you'd like it to hatch. Inspect the bag beforehand. Make sure there aren't any holes or tears. Then place the case inside, fold the bag, and use a paper clip to seal it. Keep it near a window where it will receive direct sunlight. Do not use a ziplock bag or any other airtight seal, since the baby nymphs will need air. Expect the nymphs to emerge after three to ten weeks of consistent warm weather. Check inside the bag on a daily basis throughout this time. Once you see tiny nymphs crawling around inside, remove however many you wish to keep as indoor pets and release the rest outside. Check the bag regularly, since mantises will likely eat each other if left too long on their own. Nymphs are very small and delicate, so be careful how you handle them. Use a plastic spoon to transfer them from the bag to a potted plant. Insert the spoon into the bag and wait for them to climb on, then set the spoon on top of the plant's soil.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Buy an egg case. Hatch your egg case in warm weather. Place the egg case in a paper bag. Wait for the case to hatch.

Q: Sometimes, the fertilizers we're using are inadvertently attracting dogs to our garden. Changing how and when you use fertilizer can be a great way to discourage dogs from getting into your yard. Dogs react strongly to new smells and odors, and may be put off if a smell suddenly changes. This can signal to them that another animal has potentially infiltrated their space. Switch up with fertilizers you use periodically to make dogs wary of entering your garden. Organic fertilizers are great, but can sometimes contain smells that attract dogs. Look up information on the fertilizer you're using online to see if anyone has had issues with a particular fertilizer in terms of it attracting dogs. Oftentimes, people are tempted to use rabbit or deer repellents in conjunction with fertilizers to keep dogs at bay. The problem is, such repellents often contain coyote urine and this attracts dogs. Avoid such repellents when trying to keep dogs out of your garden. Dogs are likely to return to the same spot if they believe it's dog friendly. When a dog uses your garden as a bathroom, they leave their scent behind and other dogs assume relieving themselves in this space is okay. Clean the area thoroughly after finding dog feces. Dog's often pee in the same places they defecate. Dog urine can leave burn marks on grass and plants, so douse the area with a hose shortly after removing the feces. This neutralizes the acidity of the urine and lessens its effect on the garden. You can also rake compost into the area, which contains soil organisms that balance soil biology and chemistry. Just be sure to move any compost bags well out of a dog's reach. Throw any fecal matter into a closed dumpster, after sealing it in a plastic bag. You don't want the smell to attract more dogs to the area. Whether home made or store bought, a variety of repellents cause unpleasant smells and sensations that will discourage unwanted dogs from entering your garden. Garlic, olive oil, and almond oil have been known to keep dogs away when sprinkled on or around plants or in the soil surrounding a garden. Ammonium and vinegar provide small smells that drive dogs away. Placing ammonium or vinegar soaked cotton balls around the garden, especially in places where dogs have defecated previously, may be effective in keeping pets out. Oftentimes, home remedies are hit or miss. There are specially made dog repellents, sold online or at pet stores, that are environmentally safe and not harmful to dogs or other animals. Some can be quite expensive, in the $60 to $70 range, while others sell for about $12. Some sites recommend citrus and cayenne pepper as a deterrent. This should be avoided. Citrus can be potentially harmful to dogs. While not every dog will have a negative reaction to citrus, it has caused health effects for some dogs in the past so it's best to err on the side of caution. Cayenne pepper causes irritation in a dog's face, skin, and paws. You do not want to inadvertently harm your own dog or a neighbor's dog in attempt to keep them out of the garden.
A:
Manipulate your choice of fertilizers. Clean the area thoroughly. Use repellents to keep dogs out.
