Summarize the following:
In a court of law, it is the judge's (or jury's) opinion of you that matters. Outside of court, there is typically a person or group whose opinion of you is affected by the false accusation. Identify who is judging you in this situation so that you can focus your efforts on repairing your reputation with that person or group. For example, if you are accused of stealing at work, it is your boss's opinion of you that matters, because your boss has the authority to investigate the accusation and fire you if he or she believes the accuser's story. Sometimes, your only judge is your accuser. In these cases, the only consequence of the false accusation is the harm to your relationship with the accuser. You will need to respond to that person by acknowledging the pain they have suffered, explaining your innocence, and working together to repair your relationship. The appropriate response will depend upon your situation. Some false accusations arise from miscommunication, such as an accusation that you made a promise and did not keep it. Others arise from mistaken identity, such as an accusation that you harmed someone when in fact they were harmed by someone else. Some false accusations are completely groundless, like a made up story created by someone who wants to get you in trouble. Sometimes, an alibi is your best defense. Try to establish that you were not present when the wrongdoing occurred. Offer an alternative explanation if you can. You can try to resolve cases of miscommunication or mistaken identity by identifying the guilty party or pointing out where the accuser made a mistake. It's not entirely fair to expect you to solve a problem you didn't create, but if you are able to solve the problem, you can resolve the controversy yourself. However, avoid making any false accusations of your own. In some situations, all you can do is plead ignorance. For example, "I don't know why Mark would accuse me of making a rude comment to him in the hall. I did speak with Mark in the hallway that day, but I did not make the comment he said I made." You may need to back up your story, especially if there is going to be some legal action or other formal inquiry. Look for documents that show that you were not involved in the incident, such as receipts or photographs showing that you were somewhere else. Find witnesses who observed the incident or who were with you when the incident occurred. You can also use character witnesses who are willing to say that they know you well and know that you would not have done what you have been accused of doing. The process of defending yourself against a false accusation may be brief, or it may drag on while the someone conducts an investigation. Stick to your story and rely on your evidence and witnesses to corroborate your account of the events. Most importantly, remember to reflect on your mental health. If the controversy is dragging you down, talk to someone about it and make time for the other important things and people in your life.

summary: Identify the "judge" in your situation. Plan your response. Gather evidence and witnesses. Defend yourself.

Fill up one cup (236.6 g) of lima beans and spread them out on a pan or towel. Pick through them for shriveled and broken beans or debris. Then, rinse the beans in cold water. You can use a colander to rinse them. Put the sorted beans into a bowl filled with two or three inches (5.1 or 7.6 cm) of water. The water should be at room temperature. Allow the beans to soak overnight. If you can't soak them overnight, soak them for at least eight hours. Drain the bowl of all the water when the beans are finished soaking and rinse them in cool water one more time. Soak the beans in the refrigerator if your kitchen gets very warm. Soaking the beans helps to remove indigestible sugars. You can also use a pressure cooker to cook the beans. Add four cups (946.4 mL) of water to the one cup (236.6 g) of beans. The water should rise an inch or two (2.5 or 5.1 cm) over the beans. If you choose to cook more than one cup of beans, then add four cups of water for each additional cup of beans. Reduce the heat when the water begins to boil. Let the beans simmer for about 45 minutes. If you have a pressure cooker, allow the beans to cook for three to five minutes. You can serve the beans as a side, or you can mix them into a salad, soup, or casserole. If serving as a side, add a small amount of butter and/or pepper to the beans for flavor. Fresh baby lima beans can last up to one week if stored in a refrigerated area, but cooked beans will only be good for one day even when refrigerated.

summary: Sort and rinse the beans. Soak the beans overnight. Put the beans in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. Serve the cooked beans.

Unfold the cardboard box and lay it flat. Peel off any tape holding the flaps in place. Then, remove the flaps so your hamster has plenty of space to move through the container. Make the toy out of plain cardboard. Avoid using tissue boxes or other types of cardboard with ink, since ink can be harmful to your hamster if it is chewed and swallowed. If you make the toy out of a big cardboard box, cut it to size with scissors or a utility knife. Choose a good spot for the toy, then use a tape measure to determine how much space you have available. Mark these measurements on the cardboard before cutting it. To reduce the amount of measuring and cutting you need to do, use smaller boxes like tissue boxes. Save bigger boxes for toys left out of a cage, such as those placed inside a playpen. Another way to make use of a bigger box is to cut it into panels. Trim the panels so they're all the same size, then stack them and glue them together to create a box-shaped house. The glue will begin curing within a couple of hours. Wait for it to completely solidify so the decorations don't fall off when your hamster starts climbing on its new toy. Waiting is important, especially if you used a hot glue gun.
summary: Trim the flaps off a cardboard box with scissors or a utility knife. Measure and trim the box if needed to fit it in a cage. Leave the glue for 24 hours to dry if you used any.
