INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Regular rainfall is usually sufficient, but if the season is a dry one, water the chickpeas twice a week during the flowering and pod formation stages. Avoid "overhead" watering. Water can get on the flowers and pods, causing them to break off prematurely. Pouring water over the plant can also invite mildew to develop. When you water the chickpeas, water them directly at the soil level. Once the pods mature and the plant begins to die back on its own, cut back on watering the plant. Once every one to two weeks should suffice. Doing so encourages the drying process, which you'll want to the plant to go through before the harvest. Once the weather warms up, you should add a light coat of mulch around the stems. Doing so can retain an adequate amount of soil moisture, which is especially important if your plants are receiving full sun. Mulch can also help prevent weeds from invading the plant bed. You can add a little aged compost or similar organic material to the soil around the chickpeas mid-season. As before, though, you should avoid adding nitrogen-rich fertilizers. Chickpeas work with microorganisms in the soil to produce their own nitrogen, so they receive all the nitrogen they really need. Any excess nitrogen will cause the leaves to grow bushier and may dampen the eventual yield. When removing weeds or adding anything to the soil, you need to work carefully to avoid disturbing the plant's root system. The root system of a chickpea plant is quite shallow, so working too close to the base of the plant can cause damage to its roots. You should also avoid handling the plants when they are wet since doing so can cause fungus spores to spread quickly. Chickpeas are vulnerable to attacks by a range of different pests. You should avoid pre-treating the plant for pests, though, and instead wait until you spot pests before taking action against them. Adult aphids, leafhoppers, and mites can be controlled with a blast of water from the hose or insecticidal soap. After noticing adult pests, look for eggs and crush them between your fingers. Alternatively, simply cut away any leaves with egg cases on them. For notably bad infestations, try a natural and food-safe pesticide containing pyrethrins. You should also keep the garden free of debris to reduce the number of pests. These plants are also vulnerable to a few different diseases, including blight, mosaic, and anthracnose. Plant disease-resistant varieties when possible. To avoid the spread of disease, keep the planting bed free of debris and avoid handling the plants when they are wet. Remove diseased plants and discard them to prevent the disease from spreading. Burn them or put them in the trash, but do not use them for compost.

SUMMARY: Water regularly. Mulch as needed. Fertilize with caution. Handle the chickpeas carefully. Manage pests as you see them. Keep an eye out for signs of disease.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's really normal for toddlers to fuss and cry during this change, so try not to feel guilty or worry yourself. If your child sees you getting worked up, the situation will escalate. It can be very difficult for a parent not to give in when their child is in distress. You may feel like you are being too cold or rejecting your child, however, your toddler will be less confused and feel more secure if you stay as consistent as possible. Keep a warm, loving tone, and let your toddler know you are there, but do not give in, and do not feel guilty. If your child continues to cry and fuss at night, try to determine what the reasons are. During the day, when your toddler is calm, ask them about it. If it's just stubbornness and a desire to stay with you at night, just keep being positive and consistent about the change. If it has more to do with fearsof the dark or of monstersyou may be able to resolve the situation by adding a night light, changing some furniture, or devising some sort of security ritual. Ask them directly what is worrying them. If they don't know, make subtle suggestions to get the bottom of it. Are there shadows that can be fixed with a nightlight? Scary sounds that can be masked with light music? Lie with them for a little bit at night and pay attention to all the sights and sounds. Can they hear a lot of noise coming from other places in the house? Is there a tree that taps on the window? All of these things can be really disruptive to sleep but easily fixed. Reiterate what an exciting change sleeping in bed alone will be, and let your toddler know you are proud of how big and independent they are becoming. Show your toddler how much more room there is in the bed, and remind your toddler of the bedding and toys you picked out together for this moment. Tell your child again how exciting a time this for them. Remind them repeatedly that you are proud of them and try not to let them see you get down on yourself about the decision. It's possible that you made the change too quickly. You know your child and your family and if after a few days or weeks it still doesn't feel rightchange it. Rather than bring them back to their crib or your bed, try to change your approach. Try sitting in the room until they fall asleep. After a few nights, move to the doorway; after a few more nights, move to the hallway outside the room.

SUMMARY: Stay calm and patient if your child is very upset about the transition. Determine why your child is resisting. Stay positive, especially if your child is expressing very negative ideas. Consider a more gradual transition if your toddler continues to resist.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Verify that you've accomplished all the parts of your assignment so that you can properly address them in the conclusion. Take a few moments to make a list of what you're supposed to demonstrate or learn in the experiment. To make sure your conclusion is consistent with the rest of your report, revisit your lab report's introduction. This is a good tactic to help you brainstorm exactly what you'd like to say in your conclusion. Start mapping out the different elements of your conclusion by using the RERUN method. The RERUN method can be a useful structure overall for a short lab report, but it is especially useful for providing a conclusion to your report that reviews the experiment's important components. RERUN stands for: Restate: Restate the lab experiment by describing the assignment. Explain: Explain the purpose of the lab experiment. What were you trying to figure out or discover? Talk briefly about the procedure you followed to complete the lab. Results: Explain your results. Confirm whether or not your hypothesis was supported by the results. Uncertainties: Account for uncertainties and errors. Explain, for example, if there were other circumstances beyond your control that might have impacted the experiment's results. New: Discuss new questions or discoveries that emerged from the experiment. The RERUN method is a good start, but there may be other components that you should include. It's a good idea to talk about what you've learned in the experiment. You might also want to situate your reports within the overall research field, or how you can relate the findings to concepts you're learning in class. Your assignment may also have specific questions that need to be answered. Make sure you answer these fully and coherently in your conclusion.

SUMMARY: Go over your assignment. Revisit your introduction. Use the RERUN method. Plan other sections to add.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Temperatures higher than this allow bacteria the chance to grow and multiply. Use a thermometer to test the temperature if your fridge doesn't have an inbuilt thermometer. Place the thermometer in the fridge and leave the door closed for 5 minutes. Take the thermometer out after the 5 minutes are up and check the reading. There's no need to remove the packaging for this step as it actually helps the sausages defrost faster and more evenly while in the fridge. If you already removed the packaging, you can wrap the sausages in plastic wrap before placing them in the fridge.

SUMMARY:
Test to make sure the temperature of the fridge is below 5C (41F). Leave the sausages in their packaging.
