Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for signs of "tying up loose ends. Look out for reckless, dangerous behavior. Look for the means to commit suicide. Be aware of social withdrawal. Note any extreme changes in routine. Be aware of unusually lethargic behavior. Watch for warning signs in teens.

Answer: " People planning suicide may take measures to settle their affairs before proceeding. This is a major warning sign since someone tying up loose ends probably has a suicide plan in place. Someone who is suicidal may do one or more of these to get ready: Give away their prized possessions. Make financial arrangements, such as suddenly writing a will. Say goodbye to loved ones. A person that is considering suicide may suddenly make a point of saying a heartfelt goodbye at odd times. Since suicidal people feel no reason to live, they may take risks that could lead to death, like driving recklessly or while impaired. Here are few potential signs to look out for: Excessive use of drugs (legal or illegal) and alcohol. Reckless driving, such as driving too fast or under the influence. Unprotected sex, often with multiple partners. It's a good idea to investigate whether the person has recently purchased a gun, or might be stockpiling legal or illegal pills. If someone seems to be collecting medication or purchasing new weapons out of the blue, it's important to act quickly. Once their plan is in place the person could commit suicide at any time. Avoiding friends, family, or coworkers is common among suicidal individuals, who often quietly withdraw from normal social interactions. Take action, rather than just listening to someone who says "I just want to be left alone." If someone suddenly stops going to their weekly pick up basketball games or their favorite game nights this could be a warning sign. Skipping out on going out or taking part in activities they normally enjoy could indicate that someone is feeling unhappy, depressed, or possibly suicidal. Suicidal, depressed individuals often have little energy for basic mental and physical tasks. In particular, be on the lookout for: Unusual difficulty making ordinary decisions. Loss of interest in sex. General lack of energy, behaviors like staying in bed all day. If the person in question is a teenager, watch for additional common warning signs and possible triggers for teens. For example: The teen is in trouble with their family or the law. Life circumstances like a recent breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, not getting into their college of choice, or the loss of a close friend. Lack of friends, trouble in social situations, or withdrawal from close friends. Self-care issues, like insufficient eating or overeating, hygiene issues like infrequent showering, or lack of concern about appearance (e.g., a teenager who suddenly stops using makeup or dressing well). Drawing or painting scenes of death. Sudden shifts in their normal behavior like a drastic drop in grades, drastic personality changes, or rebellious actions may also be warning signs. Conditions like an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia can also lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and possibly suicide. A child or teen being bullied or bullying others may also be at a higher risk for suicide.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Schedule planting in the fall 6-8 weeks before a hard frost is expected. Buy crocus bulbs from a garden center or nursery. Choose a planting location with at least 3-6 hours of direct sun. Select a planting location where the soil drains well.

Answer: Plan to plant your crocus bulbs when the ground is consistently below 60F (16C) in the fall. In North America, this is typically in September or October in the North, or in October or November in the South. Resources such as the Old Farmer's Almanac and the National Weather Service can help you pinpoint when the first hard frost is likely to come to your area. If desired, you can buy a soil thermometer online or at your local garden store. Purchase high-quality crocus bulbs from a reputable mail-order seed catalog, nursery, or local garden center. Bulbs purchased from non-garden specialty sources are more likely to be second-rate or not flower at all. Choose your favorite color of crocus to make your garden unique. While crocuses are often purple, there are actually many different varieties and shades. Consult a store associate to determine which variety of crocuses will best suit the aesthetics of your garden. Pick a location for your crocuses that gets full or partial sun. The ground in constant shade will be too cool for the bulbs to thrive. The dense shade on the north side of buildings is often a poor place to plant crocuses. Try the sunny east or west sides instead. Avoid planting locations where there is poor drainage or the ground is often soggy. This can cause your bulbs to rot instead of thriving. Test your soil to determine if the area you want to plant your crocuses drains well. Dig a hole 12 inches (30cm) to 18 inches (46cm) deep in the area you're considering planting your crocuses. Fill it with water. If the water drains from the hole in 10 minutes or less, you have good drainage. If the soil takes an hour or more to drain, the drainage is poor. It's difficult to change the natural drainage of the soil, as factors such as slope of the land and sun play a large role. Planting crocuses in pots outdoors can help you create a better drainage environment, if needed.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add uncertain measurements. Subtract uncertain measurements. Multiply uncertain measurements. Divide uncertain measurements. Increase an uncertain measurement exponentially.

Answer:
To add uncertain measurements, simply add the measurements and add their uncertainties: (5 cm .2 cm) + (3 cm .1 cm) = (5 cm + 3 cm) (.2 cm +. 1 cm) = 8 cm .3 cm To subtract uncertain measurements, simply subtract the measurements while still adding their uncertainties: (10 cm .4 cm) - (3 cm .2 cm) = (10 cm - 3 cm) (.4 cm +. 2 cm) = 7 cm .6 cm To multiply uncertain measurements, simply multiply the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties (as a percentage): Calculating uncertainties with multiplication does not work with absolute values (like we had in addition and subtraction), but with relative ones. You get the relative uncertainty by dividing the absolute uncertainty with a measured value and multiplying by 100 to get percentage. For example: (6 cm .2 cm) = (.2 / 6) x 100 and add a% sign. That is 3.3% Therefore: (6 cm .2 cm) x (4 cm .3 cm) = (6 cm 3.3% ) x (4 cm 7.5%) (6 cm x 4 cm) (3.3 + 7.5) = 24 cm 10.8% = 24 cm 2.6 cm To divide uncertain measurements, simply divide the measurements while adding their RELATIVE uncertainties:The process is the same as in multiplication! (10 cm .6 cm) (5 cm .2 cm) = (10 cm 6%) (5 cm 4%) (10 cm 5 cm) (6% + 4%) = 2 cm 10% = 2 cm 0.2 cm To increase an uncertain measurement exponentially, simply raise the measurement to the designated power, and then multiply the relative uncertainty by that power: (2.0 cm 1.0 cm)3 = (2.0 cm)3 (50%) x 3 = 8.0 cm3 150% or 8.0 cm3 12 cm3
