Q: Another way you can help and support someone with kleptomania is to learn as much about the condition as you can. Often, it stems from underlying problems, like impulse control or anxiety. Educating yourself about kleptomania, triggers, symptoms, and treatment can allow you to help the person better. There are many websites and books you can read to help you understand kleptomania. You may also consider speaking with a doctor or psychologist about the condition. Part of the reason why people steal is because they get a rush of euphoria from it. Help the person find alternate ways to get the same good feeling that they get from stealing. Help them find hobbies or other activities to participate in. For example, the person may instead focus their energy into making crafts, learning to cook, or trying something they've never tried before. Another way to help the person is to help them stay active and engaged. This can help them focus on something else, like socializing, instead of the impulse to steal. If they have the impulse to steal, they may be able to overcome it easier if they are doing something else. You may want to keep them away from places they may be triggered to steal from. If they cannot go into a store without stealing, don't take them to the mall. For example, suggest that you go to a movie, to dinner, or to a coffee house. You can go bowling. You may even suggest that you volunteer together. Exercise can help reduce depression and anxiety symptoms and increase endorphins, the chemicals that make you feel good. Exercise may help them feel as good as they do when they steal. If the person doesn't want to exercise alone, exercise with them. You can join a gym or walk at a local track. Try doing something adventurous, like going hiking, mountain climbing, or kayaking. Take classes together, like karate, kickboxing, or dance. Yoga or Tai Chi is great exercise while also providing stress relief benefits.
A: Learn about kleptomania. Encourage the person to engage in healthy hobbies. Suggest doing an activity together. Make a pact to exercise together.

Article: Select one medium, ripe banana, yellow or specked with brown. The stronger your blender, the less you have to chop: For a weak blender, chop the banana into small pieces, or mash it into a paste with a fork. For a strong blender, slice the bananas. For a food processor, break the banana into thirds. If you have time, freeze the chopped banana to make a creamier, colder drink. Otherwise, just move on to the next step. Add the banana to a blender. Pour in about cup (120180mL) crushed ice. You can skip the ice if you're using a frozen banana, or if the weather is cool. Ice cubes will take much longer to blend, and may break a weak blender. Pour milk or your favorite milk substitute into the blender until it reaches about the height of your solid ingredients. Even regular tap water will end up creamy after blending. If you prefer precise measurements, start with 2 cups (240mL) of liquid. After blending, add more in cup (120mL) increments until you reach the desired consistency. You can use any type of milk. Blend until all ingredients are combined and smooth. This will take 13 minutes, depending on the power of your blender. Blend in more liquid for a thinner drink. Blend in more ice for a thicker drink. Most people enjoy adding a little sugar, honey, or another sweetener. Add a small spoonful, blend, and taste. Repeat until the drink is as sweet as you like it. If you are serving the banana milk to vegans, keep in mind that some vegans do not eat honey. Serve in a tall glass with a thick straw. You can also pour banana milk over cereal, porridge, or fruit.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Chop the banana. Freeze the banana (optional). Combine banana and ice in a blender. Pour in milk, milk substitute, or water. Blend until smooth. Add sweetener (optional). Serve.

Q: You should wait to prune the plants until they are getting 6 or more hours of sun a day and they are filled with blooms. Once blooms start to die, you can start deadheading. Unlike deadheading by hand, the plant will do best with a sharp cut. Choose 1 that has several dying blooms on it. Find a point just below all the dead blooms. Aim to prune them below the majority of the spent blooms, if possible. Although you must cut back portions of a healthy plant to encourage new, thick growth, pruning petunias will extend your growing season. Doing regular pruning will help you avoid pruning off all your stems at once, making them look bare for a few weeks. Occasionally, you will need to prune off a healthy blooming stem. If a stem is looking long and leggy with lots of dead blooms, sacrifice the healthy bloom on the end so the plant will bloom longer. If possible, do it right before you leave for a trip, so that you will return when the petunia returns to full bloom. Do it after a pruning session to encourage new growth.
A:
Allow your petunias to start blooming. Get a sharp pair of pruning shears or scissors. Pick up a petunia stem gently. Cut up to 1/2 of the petunia stem with your sharp shears. Prune 1 stem weekly on a small petunia plant, or prune 8 to 12 stems in a large hanging basket. Time a large pruning session for mid-summer, if you were not able to do it weekly. Fertilize petunias with a liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks.
