INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before planting your companion plant seedlings in the garden, plan where to position them for optimal growth. Plant tall plants in front of low, sun-sensitive plants to block them from the sunlight. Plant pest-repellent plants next to other plants that are frequently ravaged by such pests (e.g. planting garlic near roses to ward off rose pests).

SUMMARY: Choose strategic spots in the garden for your companion seedlings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Yogurt and cottage cheese contain high amounts of probiotics that can help increase the good bacteria in your gut. Purchase yogurt products that have the label "active cultures" on it. For the best results, choose natural, plain yogurt instead of flavored yogurt. Flavored yogurt tends to be high in sugar, which can decrease the amount of good bacteria in your gut. Instead, sweeten your yogurt with fruit like bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and peaches. You can even make your own yogurt. Pickled foods are the non-dairy version of fermented food. Like yogurt, pickled foods contain high amounts of probiotics. Add pickled foods to 1 to 2 meals per day to help increase the good bacteria in your gut. Add foods like pickled cucumbers, garlic, radish, beets, and corn relish to your meals. Sauerkraut, kimchi, natto, tempeh, fermented tofu, and miso are also fermented foods. Another great way to increase the amount of good bacteria in your gut is to take a probiotic supplement. Take the supplement per the instructions on the bottle. Contact your healthcare provider if you are taking other medications, or if you are unsure how often you should take the supplement. You can purchase probiotic supplements online or from your local health food store. If you have an immune disorder, speak to your healthcare provider before adding probiotics to your diet. Drinks like kefir, whey, kombucha, and apple cider vinegar are all high in probiotics. If you are also eating foods that are high in probiotics, only consume 1 probiotic drink per week. If not, then it is ok to consume more than 1 probiotic drink per week. Though most people can't "overdose" on probiotics or have too many, cut back if you develop bloating or diarrhea.

SUMMARY: Add yogurt and cottage cheese to your diet. Eat non-dairy fermented foods if you are lactose intolerant. Take a probiotic supplement if you do not like pickled foods. Consume drinks high in probiotics.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Often being a reporter doesn't mean your boss determines your hours, the news determines your hours. When a big story breaks, you've got to be on it. Time is of the essence and it can be rapid-fire. If this type of thing thrills you, you're perfect for the job. Your schedule over time will be a little wacky, too. You'll end up working over holidays, weekends, in the middle of the night and then sometimes there will be slumps where it feels like nothing is going on. This is just how it is. There isn't anything quite like it. Whenever your name gets put into a print and something is associated with it, someone is likely to get in an uproar about it. Whether it's good publicity or bad publicity, it's important to stay well-grounded, down-to-earth, and positive. With time, it'll just brush off your shoulders. The Internet is the world's greatest platform for negative comments. It's important to realize that everyone has different opinions and not everyone is going to agree with you. Take others' words with a grain of salt. If your company likes your work, you're probably okay. In a recent report, "journalist" was the "worst career" one could choose. Why's that? Well, considering how much stress you're under, it does not pay well enough. There likely won't be six figures on that paycheck of yours to justify the insane schedule and the negative criticism, so you'll have to develop ways to cope. If it's your dream, it's worth it. Be sure to always be conscious of your stress levels. If you feel it building up, add yoga, meditation, or even a night devoted to a glass of wine and a good book to your routine. If you're stressed, your work life and your home life will suffer, so it's best avoided. Especially if you're on TV, though also if you're in print, it's incredibly important to know how you're viewed. This can change what you say, how you say it, and, in the end, make you a more successful journalist. Ideally, you're aiming for straightforward, likeable, and articulate, amongst other positive qualities. And the only way to work on your weak spots is if you know what they are. The more self-awareness you have, the easier it will be to tweak your performance. It takes a very specific kind of person to be a great journalist. It's hard work and most people aren't cut out for it. Here are just a few qualities a successful journalist has do you have them, too? They are courageous. They need to seek out a story, taking risks with interviews and publishing their name to a piece they know not everyone will like. They are relentless. A story doesn't develop on its own. They often do months of research just for one idea. They are open-minded. A good news story comes from an angle that hasn't been explored. To see that angle, they think outside of the box.

SUMMARY: Get a rush from crazy hours and a crazy schedule. Handle the limelight (and the criticism) with grace. Develop ways to cope with stress. Know how you come off. Be courageous, relentless, and open-minded.

A basic set includes: Cleaning solvent Lubricant, or gun oil A bore brush A patch holder and patches Cleaning rod A nylon cleaning brush Flashlight Cotton swabs Microfiber cloths for polishing . Always take the time to properly unload your gun and double-check to make sure that it's unloaded every time you pick it up to clean it. Remember that your gun may still have a round ready to fire after you remove the magazine, so check and remove this round. After opening the chamber, look through the barrel from back to front. Confirm that no round remains inside, either in the chamber or stuck in the barrel. No gun can be considered unloaded until you have looked through the barrel. Check the owner's manual for disassembly instructions to prepare the gun for cleaning. This will allow you to access all parts that become dirty from firing. Semi-automatic pistols and rifles will generally be stripped into their major components: barrel, slide, guide rod, frame and magazine. Revolvers, shotguns, and most other sorts of guns will not need to be stripped to clean them. Field stripping is not necessary to clean the gun thoroughly. Don't take apart your gun more than you have to unless it requires repair. Likewise, some guns can't be stripped at all and it won't be necessary to do anything but open the chamber to clean it. Find a a place with good air circulation to clean your guns. Solvent fumes are noxious and can make you sick. Likewise, the solvent and lubricant used just flat-out smell foul if you try to clean your guns indoors, so keep your family happy and don't stink up the joint. Cover your work surface with plastic bags, newspaper, or old towels you've saved for the purpose. Head out to the garage and put the door up, or clean your guns on a bright and dry day to get them cleaned properly.
