Problem: Article: Straws have become a huge problem in ocean contamination--in fact, they're one of the most common pieces of trash picked up on beaches. Eliminating straw use is easy and straightforward--if you order a drink that comes with a straw, just tell the waiter, barista, or worker that you don't need one. You can also invest in reusable straws made of glass or stainless steel. Instead of ordering coffee in the usual plastic cups and tops, bring your own to-go mug or thermos and ask the cashier to fill it. Insulated tumblers can also keep your beverage hot or cold much longer. Even paper coffee cups are often coated with a plastic resin, so skip these as well in favor of a reusable vessel. Rather than use the dry-cleaner's single-use plastic bags, bring your own fabric garment bag to hold your clothing. You can purchase recycled dry-cleaner bags made of a more durable, longer-lasting plastic online. Bring fewer clothes to the dry-cleaner's to reduce your bag use as well. Although gum was originally made from natural materials such as sap and rubber, manufacturers now use a type of plastic instead. So instead of chewing and throwing away plastic, find a natural brand of gum or just use mints instead.
Summary: Skip the plastic straws. Bring a reusable tumbler or to-go mug when you order coffee. Carry your dry-cleaning in a reusable bag. Stop chewing gum.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a few main aspects of your table that you'll want to know before creating one: Title Your title will go directly after the "create table" command, and must follow the same rules as your database's name (e.g., no spaces). Column Heading You can determine column headings by typing different names into a set of parentheses (see the next step's example). Cell Length When determining cell length, you'll use either "VARCHAR" (variable characters, meaning that you can type in between one and the VARCHAR's limit number of characters) or "CHAR" (requires no more and no less than the specified number of characters; for example, CHAR(1) requires one character, CHAR(3) requires three characters, and so on). Date If you want to add a date to your chart, you'll use the "DATE" command to indicate that the column's contents will be formatted as a date. The date should be entered in YYYY-MM-DD format. Before you can input data for your chart, you'll need to create the chart's structure by typing in the following and then pressing Enter: create table name (column1 varchar(20), column2 varchar(30), column3 char(1), column4 date); For example, to create a table called "Pets" with two VARCHAR columns, a CHAR column, and a date column, you might write the following: create table Pets (Name varchar(20), Breed varchar(30), Sex char(1), DOB date); Using the "insert" command, you can enter your database's information line-by-line: insert into name values ('column1 value', 'column2 value', 'column3 value', 'column4 value'); For the "Pets" table example used previously, your line might look like this: insert into Pets values ('Fido', 'Husky', 'M', '2017-04-12'); You can enter the word NULL for a column's contents if the column is blank. If your database is relatively small, you can insert the rest of the data line-by-line by using the "insert" code. If you elect to do this, skip the next step. If you have a database which requires more lines of information than are practical to insert by hand, you can reference a text file that contains the data by using the following code: load data local infile '/path/name.txt' into table name lines terminated by '
'; For the "Pets" example, you would write something like the following: load data local infile 'C:/Users/name/Desktop/pets.txt' into table Pets lines terminated by '
'; On a Mac computer, you'll need to use the "lines terminated by" command with '
' instead of '
'. Enter the show databases; command, then select your database by typing in select * from name; where "name" is the database's name. For example, if using the "Pet Records" database, you'd enter the following: show databases; select * from Pet_Records;

SUMMARY: Understand the different table commands. Create the table outline. Add a line to your table. Insert the rest of your data if possible. Upload a text file if needed. View your table.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once most of the stain is gone, apply a laundry pre-treatment stain remover to the garment. Massage the product deep into the stain, then rinse the stain with cold water. This will remove any final residue. Most garments can be washed in warm or cool water. If your garment no longer has the care tag, use cool water and a gentle cycle. If you do not have time to do the laundry, wash the affected area with cool water and soap. Rinse the area, then pat it dry with a towel. If the stain is very light, another run through the washer may be all that is needed. If the stain is still visible, you may need to repeat the acetone treatment. Do not put the garment into the dryer if the stain is still there. You can air-dry the garment, however. The safest option is to allow the garment to air dry, but you can use a dryer if you are absolutely certain that the stain is gone. If you notice any residue after washing the garment, do not put it in the dryer, otherwise you'll set the stain. If there is any residue, put it through the washer again. You can also repeat the acetone treatment, or take it to the dry cleaner.
Summary:
Apply a laundry pre-treatment stain remover. Wash the garment using the cycle and temperature on the care tag. Wash the garment again if the stain remains. Dry the garment once the stain is completely gone.
