Q: It's possible that your dog climbs on the couch because they know you snack there, and there might be crumbs in the cushions. Or maybe your cat climbs on the kitchen counter because they know you put their food bowl up there from time to time. Whatever piece of furniture your pet is climbing on, there's a chance they've come to associate that location with food. Keep food away from the furniture you're trying to train your pet away from, and promptly clean up any messes you make on or near that furniture. One way to train your pet out of using furniture (and keeping your pet off, even when you're not home) is by making the furniture less comfortable. Buy some cheap place mats and cover one side of them with double-sided scotch tape. You can then lay these sticky mats, with the adhesive side up, on whatever counters or couch cushions your pet is drawn to, or just apply double-sided tape directly to the furniture. The sticky sensation will be extremely uncomfortable, yet it won't harm your pet, and if you're using place mats it won't damage your furniture, either. Aluminum foil is another simple furniture deterrent that will make furniture loud and uncomfortable, and therefore undesirable, without harming your pet or damaging your furniture. Simply lay sheets of aluminum foil across couches, chairs, and counter tops. You can also use an upside down plastic carpet runner across your couch and chair cushions. A simple way to keep pets off your couches and recliners is by laying other furniture, like folding chairs, across the cushions. This will remove all temptation by making the furniture completely inaccessible to your pet, yet it's still simple enough for you to easily remove when you want to sit on the couch or chair. One way to train your pet out of climbing onto furniture, especially when you're not home, is to lay a gentle trap. A good example of a harmless (yet effective) booby trap is to stack a bunch of empty soda cans on the furniture. Be sure the empty cans are well-rinsed, to ensure that no sticky residue gets on your furniture. You can build a little pyramid, either on a couch cushion or on the headrest above an armchair, and if your pet tries to climb up the toppling cans will frighten him off the furniture. Over time it may startle him enough to stay off the furniture permanently. If you don't want to create your own furniture blockers, there are a number of commercially-available furniture deterrent devices on the market. The Snappy Trainer consists of a large paddle attached to a sensitive trigger, which can detect when an animal has climbed onto the couch or chair cushion and causes the whole device to snap up in the air. The SSSCAT, another motion-activated device, shoots a blast of air at your pet if they cross the motion sensor while climbing onto your furniture. The Sofa Saver is a device you lay across the couch, and if your pet climbs onto it, the device activates a noisy alarm that will scare away your pet. Each of these devices can prove to be highly effective because they startle your pet without causing any harm, and they can be used even when you're not home.
A: Keep food away from the furniture. Use double-sided tape. Use aluminum foil. Block access to furniture. Create a gentle booby trap. Buy a deterrent device.

Article: Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of vegetable oil to a large pan, and place it on the stove. Let the oil heat on medium for 1 to 2 minutes or until it begins to shimmer. You can substitute butter for the vegetable oil if you prefer. When the oil is hot, mix teaspoon (1 g) of cumin seeds into the pan. Let the seeds heat until you hear them sizzle or crackle, which should take 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add 1 dried red chile to the pan with the cumin seeds. Allow the chile to cook briefly to help soften it and release its oils. You can find dried red chilies at Indian grocery stores, spice markets, and many online retailers. Add 1 cup (150 g) of finely chopped onion to the pan, and sprinkle some salt over them. Allow the onions to cook until they become soft and translucent, which should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once the onions are tender, mix 1 teaspoon (2 g) of grated ginger and 1 teaspoon (3 g) of chopped garlic to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients, and allow the mixture to saute for 1 minute.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Problem: Article: Fit the teeth of the hinge on the door with the teeth of the hinge on the door frame. Have someone hold the door in place as you attach it to the door frame with screws. If your hinge has screws, use the same ones you removed to reattach the hinge to the door. If it has hinge pins, insert the pins into the interlocking teeth from the top of the hinge and tap them in with a hammer. Hammering in the hinge pins will attach the door to your door frame. Take your doorknob and place it into the doorknob hole. Secure it to both sides of the door with screws and make sure that it works properly. If you've done everything correctly, your new door should be installed!
Summary: Hang the new door in the doorframe. Screw in the hinges or reinsert your hinge pins. Install your new door knob.

Q: Confirm that you're using monophasic pills and that you already have the next pack. Make sure that you can discern between the active pills (which suppress your period) and the placebo pills (which trigger a week of withdrawal bleeding). Use a calendar to chart out your birth control schedule for the weeks leading up to the period that you want to skip. Monophasic pills cause less spotting than multiphasic pills, making them better suited to skipping periods. However, you can still skip a period using multiphasic pills. Ask your gynecologist about which pills you can skip in order to miss your period. If you aren't already on a birth control program, speak to your gynecologist about starting. Only take birth control pills that you've been prescribed by a licensed physician. If you are taking monophasic pills, then you just need to take the same pill every day. If you are using multiphasic pills, then you'll need to be careful to keep to the schedule. If you aren't sure, ask your gynecologist for advice on how to proceed. If your birth control is packaged with a "period week" of placebo pills, feel free to discard the placebos. They are sugar pills, and you won't need them if you are going to skip your "period." Skip the placebo pills. Begin the next month's birth control packet immediately at the end of the regular three-week regimen. Make sure that you are ready with the new pills as the three-week mark approaches! Remember: if you're taking birth control, you are not actually getting your period on the fourth "placebo" week of the month. The bleeding that occurs is "withdrawal bleeding" as your body responds to stopping the hormones. Withdrawal bleeding does not pose a serious risk to your health and skipping withdrawal bleeding does not affect your health. It is safe to skip your period indefinitely using hormonal birth control. You may experience minimal spotting. However, this should not last more than a day. Monophasic pills are more stable than multiphasic pills, and thus less likely to trigger spotting. If you've been taking the pills for three or more weeks, you can pause to take a period whenever it's convenient. Simply stop taking your active birth control pills for four days. Then, start taking the active pills again. Consider taking up to a week's break from your contraceptive after any skipped withdrawal period. It's good to give your body a rest.
A:
Prepare your pills. Take the pill as prescribed for three weeks. Start a new pack of active pills. Stop taking the pills to have a period again.
