Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a litter box that is at least 1.5 times the length of your cat. Place a mat outside the entrance to the litter box. Clean the litter box

Answer: Larger or overweight cats may have trouble maneuvering inside the litter box if it is too small. If you are weighing up the different sizes, always pick the larger size. If the litter box is too small, your cat is more likely to stand in its own waste and the litter is more likely to stick to its paws. Purchase a plastic or silicone mat from a department or pet store. Place it right outside the litter box so that your cat has to walk over it to enter and exit the box. This will help some of the litter to stick to the mat rather than to your cat's paws. Clean the mat regularly by simply discarding any litter granules into the bin. Wipe it down with warm, soapy water whenever you clean out the litter box. Don't use cardboard as a mat for the litter box. This is because the cardboard could get wet and therefore also stick to your cat's paws. every week. Remove feces from the box every day and change the litter in the litter box approximately twice per week or whenever you notice an odor. Wipe down the box with warm, soapy water each week. Wet litter is more likely to stick to your cat's paws than dry litter. Twice per week is an estimation for how often you need to change the litter. The actual frequency depends on how many cats use the litter box, how many litter boxes there are, and the type of litter that you use.

Answer: Lay out the borders of the garden or planter that you want to create. Dig out the inside and fill it with soil, or whatever medium you wish to use. Use a spade to dig a trench for the edging to go into. Then, pack down the trench bottom with scrap lumber so that it's flat. Hammer stakes that are about 46 inches (1015cm) long into the ground at either end of the trench. Tie or hook mason's line to the top of one stake and walk it to the other stake. Hold the twine taut and tie or hook it to the other stake. Put a brick in the trench and hang a line level from the twine to make sure it's level. Use the mason's line as reference while you place the bricks in one at a time. For each one, pound the top with a mallet and fill in the space left in the trench around the brick with soil, rocks, or mulch. Continue this until the entire trench is filled in with bricks. Water around all the your edging to help bring the components together. If the perimeter of your bed is a little too long or short, you may need to cut a brick to complete the edging. Measure the length of the space that still needs to be filled with the edging and mark the length on a brick. Position a brick chisel on top of the mark and strike down forcefully to break the brick. Use this piece to fill in the last bit of the trench.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use proper broccoli picking tools. Remember the side shoots.

Answer: When choosing a knife or clipper, make sure your tools are sharp. Clean your tools before you use them, and avoid harvesting your broccoli with any rusty tools. Precise cuts are important when picking broccoli, which will help your plant heal and prevent it from withering before you can re-harvest later on. Use gardening gloves or buy a pair, if you haven't already. Gardening gloves can keep your hands clean and protect them from garden insects. Do not literally "pick" your broccoli with your hands. Without using tools, your cuts will be uneven and will not allow your broccoli to grow side shoots later on. Besides the main head, you should see smaller broccoli heads along the sides of your broccoli. Trim these at an angle, too, using either your knife or a pair of sharp clippers. More, smaller side shoots will grow over the next 2 to 4 weeks.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Acquire good equipment. Practice the basic volleyball stance. Practice shuffling your feet. Learn how to serve the ball. Learn to pass the ball. Learn to set the ball. Learn to spike the ball. Develop a good sense of timing.

Answer:
In order to practice volleyball, you need access to good equipment, including a comfortable outfit that allows a range of body motion, shoes specifically designed for volleyball, and a good quality volleyball. As well, you should have access to a volleyball net and court. Men, especially taller men, may need to opt for a basketball shoe instead of a volleyball shoe. In order to do some volleyball drills, it can be helpful to practice against a tall smooth wall or a basketball hoop. When you play volleyball, you will assume a basic ready position. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees. Make sure your body weight is more on the balls of your feet so that you are ready to move quickly. Hold your arms loosely in front of you Many volleyball moves require you to move quickly from side to side. Minimize the amount of movement (and the amount of energy required) by shuffling your feet side to side. Stand in the basic ready stance and move sideways in a straight line. Keep your body low to the ground. Do not cross your feet over one another while shuffling. You might trip. Once you've got the hang of shuffling your feet, start integrating it into other drills, such as passing the ball to another player. Serving the ball is done from one back corner of the court. The ball is hit over the net. This puts the ball in motion in the game. To serve the ball, toss the ball straight up into the air with one hand. Bring your other arm up over your head to hit the middle of the ball. Make sure to fully extend your arm, and make contact with the ball when your arm is extended. It is also important to make sure the ball is in front of you when you make contact with it. Keep your arm moving downward in order to follow through with the hit. Your footwork is also very important here, as it can determine how hard you hit the ball, and if it even goes over the net. you can either start with the foot opposite of the hand you're hitting with, or on the same side as your hitting hand. If you start on the same side that you hit with, you will take another step, and lean on that opposite foot for leverage.If you start on the opposite foot you hit with, you will simply toss the ball, and lean in as you hit. You will need to see which works best for you, and also practice your timing. Stand in the basic ready position as the ball is moving downward. Position yourself just behind where the ball will land. The earlier you're ready to hit the ball, the more time you have to make minor adjustments. Put your arms together in front of you with your elbows close together. Hold the back of your hand in the palm of your other hand and press your thumbs together. Don't swing your arms; rather, move your shoulders to pass the ball. Use the force of your core and lower body to power the ball in the right direction. Setting the ball is a maneuver in which one player makes contact with the ball, setting it up for another player to spike the ball. Set the ball by raising your arms above your head. Touch all of your fingertips together and then pull your hands apart so there is just enough room for the volleyball. When the ball comes down over the net or is passed from another player on your team, get under the ball and bounce it up with your fingertips. Do not touch the ball with your palms. A correct set uses only the fingertips of the thumbs, index fingers and middle fingers. Work up to properly setting the ball by first catching the ball in between your fingertips. Once you've mastered the ball settling into your hands smoothly and with balance, then work on springing the ball into the air with your fingertips. Spiking the ball is a technique to hit the ball forcefully over the net so that the other team has a hard time recovering the ball. Spike the ball after another player on your team sets the ball. As the ball moves upward in the air, jump up to meet the ball at its highest point. Hit the top of the ball with the middle of your hand: this will give the ball a solid top-spin, sending it over the net. Spiking the ball effectively requires good timing. If you jump too early or too late, you'll miss hitting the ball at the best position. Practice spiking frequently to hone your timing. Volleyball is a sport that demands keeping your eye on the ball at all times and knowing when to pass, spike or hit the ball over the net. Having a good sense of timing will strengthen your defense. Develop your sense of timing by practicing drills that emphasize timing, such as blocking the ball at the net. Blocking the ball will demand that you watch the ball carefully and keep your eye on other players' movements.
