Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain a simple compost bin. Use a stationary compost bin. Buy a compost tumbler.

Answer: Composting bins are used to collect and store compost ingredients in a secure and sanitary way. Bins can be purchased from a hardware store or online. Bins range in design, size, features, and cost, depending on your personal needs. Opt for a model with thick, secure walls that will prevent rodents or other small animals from gaining access to your compost materials. Check with your local government office - some have programs that will give or sell you composting bins. Stationery compost bins are enclosed on all sides, have top access, and are open at the bottom, to be placed directly on the soil. Start by adding a few inches of dry, "brown" compost materials, which may include wood chips and shredded newspaper. Place a layer of "green" compost materials on top (e.g., vegetable peelings, grass clippings) and alternate layers of the two types of materials. Don't use any meat, bones, oils, or weeds in your compost. Use a pitchfork or other garden tools to rotate the compost materials every week or two to add oxygen and help the composting process. Water the compost regularly so it stays moist. The process should take a few months and should leave you with a dark, crumbly product that looks and smells like fresh soil. Compost tumblers require less effort than stationary bins and produce compost much more quickly. Add your "brown" and "green" compost materials to the bin and turn it two to four times a week, giving it several good turns each time. Your compost should be ready in approximately a month, depending on the overall volume. To speed up the process, place your compost tumbler in a sunny spot. Regularly water the compost so it stays moist.

Answer: Unlike the male, she needs to be in the receptive stage of her heat cycle in order to breed successfully. Females typically come into heat twice a year. Each heat cycle has a preparatory proestrus stage, where the female's vulva (visible to the outside) swells and she bleeds or spots blood for seven to nine days. The uterus (womb) is being prepared to make a suitable environment for the embryos to develop into puppies. After this, the bleeding slows and she becomes receptive to breeding. This stage is called estrus. This is also called standing heat, because it is the period when the female will stand to mated with the male dog. It is only during this stage that she will be able to become pregnant. The most fertile time will be at the end or just after standing heat occurs. Veterinarians can determine the stage of heat the female dog is in by collecting swabs inside the vagina and examining the cells. The swabs will collect cells which have distinctive shapes and sizes depending on the stage of estrus. This is especially helpful in those female dogs that don't swell or bleed much. Insemination is fairly straight forward once the semen is collected and the female dog is in estrus. The female is stood on the examination table with her back legs slightly extended beyond the pelvis. A pipette is used to deposit the semen inside the vagina near the cervix. The insertion of the pipette takes special skill as the female dog's vagina is quite long. The pipette is withdrawn and discarded. She should be kept standing for 10 minutes after depositing the semen. She should not sit or urinate, or the semen may run out. After 10 minutes she can walk around normally, but jumping and urinating should be avoided for about an hour.

Try exfoliating your skin with coffee grounds. Soak used grounds in hot water to make a dye. Mix expired or unneeded medicines with used coffee grounds.

Answer: Cover a baking sheet with newspaper, and scatter the grounds in a layer no more than 2in (5.1cm) thick. The thinner you spread them, the faster they'll dry. If conditions are dry and sunny, let them sit outside for 2 to 3 days to dry. Alternatively, you can dry them in the oven at 200F (93C) for a total of 20 to 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and check to see if they're dry. Wet coffee grounds promote mold growth, so any that you're storing for reuse need to be dried. Since they're abrasive and acidic, coffee grounds are good at scrubbing away residue on pots and pans. Keep in mind coffee grounds can leave behind a brown tinge, so make sure anything you clean with them is stain-resistant. Remember that coffee grounds can clog a drain. If you use grounds to scrub a pot, use a kitchen sink plug with a fine mesh drain basket to collect the grounds, then throw them in the trash. For a moisturizing, exfoliating scrub, mix a tablespoon of olive oil with 14c (59mL) of used coffee grounds. Massage your face and any areas of dry, flaky skin, then rinse off the grounds and oil with lukewarm water. If you have oily skin, skip the olive oil. Just massage your face with coffee grounds, then rinse. A teaspoon or so of grounds here and there won't clog your drains, but you still shouldn't get in the habit of pouring them down the drain. For larger amounts, like 14c (59mL), you'll definitely need to collect the used grounds with a drain stopper instead of letting them go down the drain. Grab your coffee filter filled with used grounds, tie it tightly with a rubber band, then soak it in 2c (470mL) of water. Steep it for 10 minutes, or longer for a deeper color, then mix in a teaspoon of vinegar to set the dye. Use your sepia-toned dye on paper, fabric, clothes, for touching up worn brown furniture, or to color your hair naturally. The best way to dispose of medicines is with a community drug take-back program. However, if that's not an option, you can also throw them out with coffee grounds. Put the medicine in a sealable plastic bag, fill the bag with used coffee grounds, then seal the bag and throw it in the garbage. Keep in mind that the best option is a take-back program. Contact your local pharmacy for information about local take-back programs. If none are available in your area, consider using the coffee ground method. Always dispose of narcotic pain killers and other commonly abused prescription drugs through a take-back program.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your co-workers about unionizing. Find out if you can join a pre-existing union. Contact a union organizer.

Answer:
Ultimately, a majority of your co-workers will need to vote to establish a union. By talking to your co-workers, you can gauge whether your fellow employees are likely to support a union election. Talking is also the best way to find out what changes your co-workers would like to see, and for you to share your ideas about how unionization can effectuate those changes. Keep your discussions quiet and private. Although the National Labor Relations Act guarantees the right to discuss union membership during non- work time in non work areas (like an employee lounge), keeping these discussions discreet helps avoid conflict between the management and pro-union employees. Your co-workers must find you to be trustworthy and competent, so study up on union issues, like federal and state labor law, the benefits of unions, and common employer tactics used to discourage organization. When a co-worker has a question or challenges your position, you should ready to answer quickly and confidently. To successfully organize, you must inspire and persuade you peers to follow your leadership. There may already be a union you can join that represents your industry. These organizations can guide you through the process of organizing a union at your workplace. Most U.S. labor organizations are organized under the American Federation of Labor - Congress of Industrial Organizations or the Change to Win Federation. There are also independent unions that are not affiliated with either umbrella organization, such as the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, United Electrical Workers, and Industrial Workers of the World. You can also locate local unions by searching online or in the phone book under "Labor Organizations." Keep in mind that the name of the union doesn't matter; meat packers commonly belong to the United Steel Workers. Contact your local unions to find out what industries they represent. If you and your co-workers decide that you would like to organize under an existing union, contact a union organizer at a pre-existing union to help organize a union at your workplace. Alternatively, if you can form a new independent union that is recognized by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) without working with an existing union. Be aware that the cost of running a union and the complexities of labor law may make forming a new union impractical.
