Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Boycott damaging fishing methods. Volunteer to support reef science. Help organizations dedicated to protecting coral reefs. Tell others about coral reefs. Pressure politicians to support reefs.

Answer: If you consume fish caught in a way that damages coral reefs, you are part of the problem. Not using products obtained through damaging the environment is a way to help protect the reefs. Understand which fish are caught in a way that damages reefs, and spread the word. In some countries, people actually blow up coral reefs with explosives so they can more easily catch the fish that cluster around them. Then, they sell the fish to restaurants and stores. Another devastating fishing method involves putting cyanide into the water to stun fish. This kills the coral reefs around them. Overfishing is another way that damage is caused to coral reefs. There is economic pressure in some countries to fish in this manner because coral reefs can provide as much as one-quarter of the fish eaten in some developing countries. Don't eat fish caught with bottom trawling methods. Bottom trawling is so damaging that it can destroy reefs that could live for thousands more years and exist deep in the ocean. An example of a fish sometimes caught through bottom trawling is orange roughy. Since 1998, the U.S. government has extensively mapped coral reefs to track their decline. The governmental efforts often link with private groups that accept donations and volunteers, as well as state and local efforts to protect reefs. Global efforts also exist to protect reefs. In Australia, the government has created ways for people to get involved to help protect the Great Barrier Reef. The government has created a monitoring program that allows average people to contribute to reef protection by reporting their own observations and data. Scientists study detailed maps that alert them to bleaching of coral reefs, which can be caused by rising sea temperatures and algal blooms. The data is so sophisticated that scientists receive updates every hour, focusing on coral reefs in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They monitor barometric pressure, tide levels, air and water temperature, and other factors important to coral reefs. Scientists are breeding coral reefs and then testing different varieties in environments with greater acidity and other conditions. They have also found ways to plant corals in the ocean and to spur their growth by using electrical currents. There are many organizations that work hard to stop destruction of coral reefs. Some even build artificial reefs to replace destroyed or damaged coral reefs. The Coral Reef Alliance, Reef Relief, and Planetary Coral Reef Foundation are examples of private organizations trying to save coral reefs. The organizations, and others like them, offer numerous ways for people to get involved. You can sign up as a volunteer for a coral reef organization and become involved in events and education. Join a reef cleanup. Many of the organizations rely on donations. Some reef protection organizations have educational programs for children. Reef Relief offers a coral camp in Key West, Florida to educate children about the value of coral reefs. Many people touch or otherwise harm coral reefs without intending to do so. They may simply not understand that reefs are full of fragile living creatures or realize that the smallest contact can cause them harm. Helping educate as many people as possible about coral reefs can make a difference. Many non-profit organizations devoted to reef protection offer extensive information about reefs on their websites. You can sign a pledge refusing to use coral jewelry. Governmental websites, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, offer detailed information about coral reefs, their importance, and protection. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, which was created by U.S. Congress, also works extensively on the issue. The Coral Reef Alliance urges people to educate others about the importance of reefs, and has free social media badges available that people can share to alert others to their support for protecting coral. They also offer e-cards. Legal mechanisms that protect coral reefs can be critical. Let your politicians know that you want them to support measures that will ensure coral reefs suffer less damage. Creating marine protected areas is a measure that can make a difference. Read up on local action strategies so you understand what is already being done in your area and others. The U.S. Coral Reef Task Force develops federal and state strategies to protect coral reefs.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a sunny spot in the garden to replant the daffodils. Plant the daffodil bulbs in well-drained, composted soil. Plant each bulb in a hole three times as deep as the width of the bulb. Plant any remaining bulbs back in the original location. Feed the transplanted bulbs with a water-soluble fertilizer.

Answer: Find a new spot in the garden for your divided daffodil offsets. They will prefer a sunny patch, although they'll tolerate partial shade for some of the day. A daffodil plant needs to receive at least three hours of sunlight per day. Daffodils need a well-drained soil, so try to avoid planting them anywhere that puddles form and don't easily drain away. Daffodil bulbs rot easily in wet ground. It's a good idea to incorporate plenty of compost or organic matter, such as well-rotted horse manure, into the soil. If you aren't sure how much to use, cover your soil to a depth of 2 to 4 inches (5.1 to 10.2cm) with the manure and then mix it with the existing soil. If your soil is clay heavy and tends to retain water, you might may want to add some grit into the soil to improve drainage. To plant each bulb, dig a hole three times as deep as the bulb is widethat's around 6 inches (15.2cm) in depth for a 2 inch (5.1cm) bulb. If you can, add a trowel full of compost to the bottom of the hole for the bulb to sit on. Put the bulb in the hole with the pointed end facing upwards. Fill the hole with soil and water well. You might like to top-dress (add a top layer) of fertilizer or mulch. Now go back to the area where your bulbs were growing originally and replant the bulbs using the same approach. Having such a crowd of bulbs in this patch may have taken a lot of the nutrients from the soil, so it's especially important to refresh the ground with fertilizer in this spot. In the fall, give your transplanted bulbs a good feed with a water-soluble fertilizer. During the fall the roots are most actively growing, so the fall feeding will help your transplanted bulbs get established in their new home. All bulbs will appreciate an annual top dressing of fertilizer or mulch.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a coin you're willing to make into a ring. Hold your coin on a flat, hard surface. Hammer the edges of the coin while rotating it slowly. Place the coin flat on a piece of wood. Drill a large hole in the center of the coin. Grind out the middle of the coin using a sanding wheel. Polish the ring using a polishing wheel or cloth.

Answer:
While you can use any sort of coin, it's best to start with larger ones, such as a quarter, unless you're making a ring for smaller fingers. The coin doesn't need to be newit can be spare change you already have around the house. Make sure the coin isn't valuable before deciding to turn it into a ring. Look for a flat piece of heavy metal, a concrete floor, or any other solid, hard surface. This will be your base for hammering, and you'll hold the coin on top of the hard surface. Choose a surface that won't be damaged by a hammer. A bench vise is another option for a flat, hard surface. Hold the coin using one hand so that it's sitting up straight with a sliver of an edge touching the hard surface. Use a hammer to gently hit the edges of the coin, rotating the coin slowly as you hammer so that all of the sides are hit evenly. Continue hammering until the coin reaches the thickness of a ring. Make sure your fingers aren't in the way of the hammer as it's hitting the top of the coin's edges. How thick you want your ring to be is entirely up to youroughly 0.5cm (0.20in) wide is good. Thicker rings will take longer to hammer, so be patient during this step. Avoid hitting the coin with a lot of force, as this could turn it into an oval or damage the overall form. Make sure the piece of wood is thick enough that the drill can go down into the wood without messing up the surface underneath. Place the coin in the center of the piece of wood, and either hold the coin with your fingers or use an adjustable wrench to keep the coin steady. If you're holding the coin, hold the very edges so that your fingers won't be in the way of the drill. Hold the coin steady as you drill the hole. Start with a smaller gauge and drill all the way through the coin. Switch the drill bit to a larger size, then drill through the metal again. Once you've drilled the hole, the coin should be left with roughly 0.5cm (0.20in) of coin thickness around the entire edge. If you have a sanding wheel that attaches to your drill, this is great for sanding out the rest of the coin to create a smooth ring. Hold the coin steady using your fingers or some other sort of clamp as you sand the inside of the ring until it thins out. A dremel tool with an attachable sanding wheel is also a good option. Continue sanding until the coin is the thickness you want your ring to be. Attach a polishing wheel to your drill or dremel, using a small amount of polishing compound to get the best shine. Run the polishing wheel along the inside and outside of the ring, smoothing out all of the edges so the ring is shiny and completed. To use polishing compound, dip a rag or polishing wheel into the container of polish, using a small amount to rub over the ring's surface.
