Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Water your plants in the morning. Keep your garden free of litter. Plant species that are naturally resistant to garden snails. Let farm birds to graze on stray snails.

Answer: Snails are most active at night, when the soil is wet and inviting. By allowing your beds to dry out slightly, you can make your garden less attractive to them. The only exception to this measure will be when you have thirsty plants like roses or impatiens that need to be watered several times per day. Only give your plants as much water as they need. Soggy soil is particularly inviting to snails, slugs, and other moisture-loving pests. Do a walk-through once a day and pick up any rubbish or refuse you happen to find. Snails often seek shelter underneath metal cans, wooden boards, and similar items. Once they find their way inside, they'll lay eggs and their number will multiply. Likewise, it may be a good idea to get rid of oddly-shaped statues, ornaments, and other garden fixtures where snails might be hiding if you've dealing with a serious infestation. Snail are hermaphrodites, which means even a single critter has the potential to lay dozens of eggs and make your snail problem worse. Some plants are better adapted to surviving snail attacks than others. Examples of resilient species include geraniums, hydrangea, impatiens, rosemary, lavender, begonias, and most ornamental grasses. By contrast, plants like hosta, dahlias, beans, cabbage, and strawberries are among the most common targets of hungry snails. If you keep chickens or ducks, allow them to roam freely in areas most affected by snail activity. These birds will hunt and eat snails and other small creatures that commonly go unseen in your garden. As an added bonus, they'll even convert them into a free fertilizer for you. Consider inviting other wildlife into your garden, if you're not worried about their numbers becoming an issue. Many types of birds, toads, and snakes have been known to make a meal of garden snails.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to a parent or trusted adult. Get law enforcement involved. Talk to a victim advocate.

Answer: If you are unable to handle the situation on your own and do not know where to start, a parent or a trusted adult is always a good resource. Your parent is not required to report any photos or messages to law enforcement and can help you decide what to do next. Talking to your parents can be difficult and embarrassing, but remember that they love you and want the best for you. Be honest and do not hide any of the details. If the behavior does not stop or the other person pursues you other ways (such as stalking, threatening or harassing), contact your local law enforcement. Some people who have been asked to stop sexting will stop. However, if the other person continues to pursue you, you may need to get the authorities involved. Always tell the truth when you talk to law enforcement. They need to know about any messages you responded to or any explicit photos that you may have sent. If you feel like you are being victimized by the person sexting you, work with an advocate to help you navigate the process. An advocate can help you gather evidence, put together a safety plan, and get civil protection. There are many different ways to find a victim advocate in your area: Call or visit the website of the National Organization for Victim Assistance. The phone number is 1-800-879-6682.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure pain with the visual analog scale (VAS). Use the numerical rating scale (NRS) instead. Use the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) to gauge pain progress. Try the Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale.

Answer: Unlike the multidimensional scales of pain determined by questionnaires, the VAS is considered a unidimensional measurement of pain because it just represents the pain's intensity, or in other words, how much it hurts. When using a VAS tool, people specify their level of pain by indicating a spot along a continuous line between two end-points. Usually a VAS tool looks like a slide ruler that's not numbered on the side the patient uses. It's appropriate to use for pain caused by all conditions. On the back of most VAS instruments (where the patients can't see), there's a numbered scale typically from 1-10 where the doctor or therapist can make note of in their charts. The VAS is the quickest and probably the most sensitive single-item measure for pain levels, although it doesn't indicate the type, duration or location of pain. Many questionnaires use a VAS drawing to determine the perceived intensity of a person's pain. In a busy health clinic, time is often precious, so another quick and easy tool to use to measure pain is called the numerical rating scale. The NRS is similar to a VAS, except the scale is numbered, sometimes from 0-10 or occasionally 0-100, which is a little more specific. Zero represents no pain, whereas the highest number on the scale represents the worst pain imaginable. The NRS can look like a slide-rule tool or it can be a printed scale on a piece of paper. The person with pain chooses the number that best represents their pain level. Like all visual or numbered scales, the NRS measurement is subjective and based on the person's perceptions. The NRS is useful for health care practitioners who want to gauge their patient's response to treatment by measuring pain levels at specific time intervals (like every week, for example). The NRS is also used in the hospital for acute pain, and to gauge a patient's response to a specific intervention, such as administration of pain medication. Unlike the VAS, the NRS has the advantage of being administered verbally, so the patient doesn't have to move, read or write anything. The PGIC scale is helpful for describing your improvement (in terms of pain) over time or as a result of some sort of therapy. The PGIC asks you to rate your current status based on 7 choices: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, or very much worse. The PGIC is helpful for practitioners to understand how their patients are responding to treatment. The PGIC can be used for a wide variety of conditions and treatments, but it lacks more descriptive language to describe pain. The PGIC is often used in conjunction with other scales or questionnaires because it provides information on changing pain levels over time, but lacks pain intensity and pain quality measurements. The Wong-Baker scale is especially useful for children and adults who might have trouble rating pain with other scales. The Wong-Baker scale uses a series of six faces to help patients identify what level of pain they feel. The scale gives patients options ranging from "no pain" to "the worst pain." The first face is smiling and a patient might point to that face to indicate that she is having no pain at all, while the last face is frowning and crying and a patient might point to that face to indicate that she is in severe pain.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Chop the 5 tablespoons (73.9ml) of butter into small cubes, keeping them cool until use. Mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until large clumps form. Keep the mixture cold until it is ready to cook.

Answer:
Make sure your butter is firm and cold before you start using it. This will give the oats, sugars, and flour something solid to bind onto while they cook, leading to big, delicious crumble topping. It can help to cut the butter into 1/2" cubes ahead of time and place in the freezer while you measure everything else out. The amount of butter in your recipe is up to you. If you want a very rich topping, you can add as many as 89 tablespoons (120130ml), though you should add 12 tablespoons (14.829.6ml) more flour and brown sugar if you do. Use a whisk to lightly mix the dry ingredients, getting rid of any clumps and making sure everything is evenly distributed. Cutting in the butter means you physically mash and cut the butter when surrounded by the flour mixture. This allows the flour to coat as much of the butter as possible, which leads to a crispy, delicious topping. You can cut the butter three ways: Food Processor: Pulse the mixture until there are still 1/4" clumps and none of the butter is uncoated with flour. Pastry Blender: These D-shaped tools have 4-5 wires at the end which effectively cut the butter up into thin slices. Cut until you have a gravel-like consistency. Fingers: Freeze the whole mixture for 2-3 minutes before working, then quickly mash the butter into the flour, aiming for a crumbly, gravel-like mixture. Remember that the colder the butter is when it hits the oven, the better your topping will be. Set the topping in a cool place, like the refrigerator, while you prepare the apples.
