INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have an emergency radio, bring it into the room with you and turn it to an available frequency. Monitor any reports that you hear regarding the progress and effects of the gas attack. If your cell phone is available and working, reach out to emergency professionals, inform them of your location, and request assistance. Realistically, in the event of a gas attack, you can expect to wait some time before receiving any emergency assistance or perhaps even updates. Try to stay in contact with the outside world the best that you can. To avoid running down your radio or phone batteries, check for news at particular intervals, such as every 30 minutes. Use your cell phone to call or text for emergency services. In the event of a large-scale gas attack, you'll likely have to call many times and may have to wait a long period before getting help. When you do see a medical professional, they will assess your injuries and develop a treatment plan that fits your condition and the overall situation. Toxic gas exposure often requires continuous monitoring because your symptoms do not always develop rapidly. With chlorine exposure, pulmonary edemas can develop up to a day after initial exposure. Not all gas exposures can be treated the same. Chlorine gas exposure, for example, requires close monitoring of the pulmonary system, including oxygen treatments. It's advisable to stay indoors for as long as you can post-attack, as it takes some gases days to dissipate. Unless you are critically injured, the best plan initially is to shelter in place and wait for medical help to come to you. Not all chemical gases have antidotes, but some do. If you are exposed to an agent, seek out a medical professional. They will then determine if an antidote exists and is available for use. Sarin gas, for example, is treatable with an antidote. However, it must be used within hours of exposure.

SUMMARY: Use your emergency radio to keep track of official safety reports. Seek out supportive medical care. Take an antidote, if available, as soon as possible.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order for your natural approach to be effective, you must catch the infestation early. In early spring, begin monitoring for the presence of moths, and/or damage to your plants. Armyworm moths are grey with distinctive white dot on their forewings. You may choose to set pheromone traps to catch moths. This will allow you to get a better look at their markings. If you've caught the problem early in the season (late spring or early summer), you can release trichogramma wasps. These wasps will parasitize and ultimately kill armyworm eggs. You can purchase these wasps from some garden supply stores, or online. Unfortunately, the use of pesticides and insecticides can kill beneficial insects, along with armyworms. Instead, by encouraging the presence of these insects, as well as birds, you can naturally keep your armyworm population at bay. You can do this by avoiding the use of insecticides/pesticides, and by planting wildflowers. Ladybugs and Lacewings are both beneficial insects. Before nightfall each day, use a small gardening shovel to overturn the soil, bringing the larvae to the surface. This will allow birds to eat the larvae, which are usually out of sight. Beneficial Nematodes are microscopic soil creatures that feed on many different pests, including armyworms. However, beneficial nematodes do not harm vertebrates, honeybees, plants, or earthworms. If the introduction of other pests has not done enough to quell your armyworm problem, try using neem oil spray. Apply neem oil spray to your crops, making sure to cover stems and the undersides of leaves, as well. Avoid watering for at least 1-2 days after application. Neem oil can be destructive to armyworms at various stages of their development. Additionally, neem oil is antifungal.

SUMMARY: Watch for moths. Release trichogramma wasps. Attract beneficial insects and birds. Overturn the soil in the evenings. Release beneficial nematodes into the soil in the spring. Apply neem oil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When purchasing men's jeans, look for inseam measurements on the back label. They will typically be listed with waist size first and inseam second, so a pair of pants marked 34x32 will have a 34in (86cm) waist and a 32in (81cm) inseam. Women's jeans rarely list the inseam, so you may have to consult a store attendant, make a conversion using the brand's sizing chart, or measure the seam yourself. Websites like Search By Inseam allow you to find the inseam measurements for popular pant brands. Though compact shoes and sneakers won't make a significant difference, high heels and similar shoes may. In general, add between .5 and 1 inch (1.3 and 2.5cm) to your inseam measurement to accommodate raised shoes. If possible, measure your inseam while wearing the raised shoes to get a more precise number. Over time, jeans made from cotton, linen, and wool may shrink, something that will affect the inseam. If purchasing a name brand pair, search online for information on how much you should expect the pants to shrink. If necessary, purchase pants with an inseam that is about .5 inches (1.3cm) too large, giving the legs room to shrink.

SUMMARY:
Look for jeans that match your measurements. Add extra length if you plan on wearing the jeans with raised shoes. Check the jeans' material to see if it will shrink.
