Article: For young seedlings, shavings are best. Use a long-grain grater to shave the soap into small shavings. Hold the grater at a 45-degree angle to a flat surface and drag the soap across it. Afterward, sprinkle the pieces evenly in a circle about 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91m) from the soil that harbors your seedlings. Press the soap firmly but carefully down the grater and take care not to cut your hands. Cut each bar of soap into pieces about 12 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5cm) around. Insert a skewer into the tip and place each one just above budding plants. Replace the skewers about once a month or anytime they are destroyed by rain. These skewers are also great for dehydrating bugs and aphids in the nearby soil. Don't use more than 1 soap skewer per plant. Use a paring knife to cut your bars of soap in half. Afterward, wrap them in cheesecloth or burlap and use a stapler to fasten them to stakes in your garden. Be sure to space each piece of soap evenly across your perimeter. If you're using 33 bars of a soap for a 100 metre (330ft) long perimeter, space each bar out by about 3 metres (9.8ft). Hang each bar of soap at least 7.8 inches (20cm) from the central stems of the plants. Don't hang your soap bars directly on shrubs, as they will attract rodents when they drip down the stem. For a high volume of trees and plants, use a spray bottle or backpack sprayer. Apply the soap in a circle around each plant and tree from a distance of 3 feet (0.91m). For medium-sized gardens, use a spray bottle to apply the soap. If your garden is on the larger side, pour your liquid soap into a backpack sprayer for application. Conduct reapplication every 63 days to mimic repellent spray programs. Note that liquid soap can sometimes increase damage from other animal species. Always keep an eye out for damage and switch to bars if this appears to be the case.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Shave bar soap and sprinkle it around seedlings that have yet to appear. Create soap cubes and skewer them near budding smaller plants. Cut your soap bars in half and hang them in your garden to protect larger trees and plants. Spray liquid soap around your plants and trees if you have a big garden.

Problem: Article: Take care not to splash or spill. Set the blender or mixer to "low". Try to weigh the lye quickly, as it absorbs moisture from the air. For this reason, be sure tightly seal the container you got the lye from. The ensuing reaction between the methanol and lye produces sodium methoxide. Sodium methoxide cannot be allowed to sit for long, as it degrades in the presence of moisture. The process should take about two minutes. Proceed when mixture is clear, with no undissolved particles. Again, be attentive - the sodium methoxide will degrade rapidly, so proceed to the next step as soon as the lye is completely dissolved. Allow the new mixture to blend for about 20-30 minutes. As the reaction proceeds, two products are formed - biodiesel and glycerin. Allow the mixture to sit. The mixture should separate into two layers - biodiesel and glycerin. Because biodiesel is less dense than glycerin, it should float, forming the top layer. When it has separated completely, carefully keep the top layer to use as your biodiesel fuel. Separate the top layer from the bottom by pouring it off very carefully or using a baster or pump. Check with local waste disposal authorities to see whether glycerin can be thrown out with your normal garbage - it usually can. If you don't want to waste your glycerin, consider pouring it on a compost heap to increase the rate of decomposition or using it to make soap. Consult our wikiHow on Making Glycerin Soap for more information.
Summary: Add 200 ml methanol to glass blender or mixer. Add 3.5 grams (0.02oz) of lye. Allow the lye to completely dissolve in the methanol. Heat 1 liter (0.3USgal) of vegetable oil to 130 F (55 C) Add the hot oil to the mixture. Pour the mixture into a wide-mouthed glass container or pitcher. Allow the mixture to sit for several hours. Dispose of the glycerin properly.

Many of the serious strains of bacterial infections can be prevented with immunizations. Seasonal flu shots and pneumococcal vaccines will likely help reduce ear infections. You and every member of your family should also get a flu vaccination every year. Vaccinating yourself will help keep both you and your family safer from infection. Experts recommend that you use the PCV13 pneumococcal conjugate vaccination for children. Ask your pediatrician for advice. Wash your child's hands, toys and play surfaces frequently to reduce the likelihood of infection. Pacifiers can be vectors for bacteria, including bacteria that causes ear infections. Leakage is more likely to occur in bottle-feeding than it is in breastfeeding, making the transmission of bacteria higher. Breastfeeding also boosts your child's immune system, helping him or her to fight off infections easier. If bottle-feeding is necessary, place the child in an upright seat so that liquids drip down instead of possibly into their ear. Never give a baby a bottle while s/he is going down for a nap or to sleep at night. Do this both for the sake of preventing ear infections and for general health and safety. Prolonged usage of antibiotics can leave certain bacteria in your body or your child's body resistant to the effects of certain drugs. Only use antibiotics when prescribed by your doctor, or when other options aren't available. These facilities put your child at a 50% greater chance of developing an ear infection due to the common transmission of infections both bacterial and viral. If you cannot avoid sending your child to daycare, teach him or her a few tactics to help avoid the spread of infections such as colds, which can cause ear infections. Teach your child not to put toys or fingers in his or her mouth. S/he should avoid touching the face with his or her hands, especially mucous membrane areas such as the mouth, eyes, and nose. S/he should wash hands after eating and after using the bathroom. Eating a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins helps your body stay strong and healthy. Some research also suggests that "good" bacteria such as probiotics may help protect your body from infection. Acidophilus is a commonly studied strain of probiotic. You can find it in many yogurts.
