In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fold the thumb piece down its center and stitch along the top and side, joining them together. Stop just short of the bottom curve. If you want to hide your stitching, make sure that the right sides of all pieces face each other as you stitch and turn the pieces right-side out once they are stitched together. Alternatively, you can keep all of your stitching on the outside of the gloves, allowing it to remain visible. In that case, keep all of the pieces right-side out as you stitch them together. Hidden and visible stitches are both an option with leather, so this is merely a personal style choice on your part. Insert the open bottom of your thumb piece into the thumb hole of your trank piece. Pin the edges of the thumb to the edges of the hole, then sew around the entire joined edge. Make sure that the thumb points upward as you insert it into the thumb hole. The thumb piece edge and thumb hole should match pretty evenly. You can bend the edge of the thumb hole inward so that the right sides of the hold edge and thumb piece face each other, or you can pin/sew the right side of the thumb edge along the wrong side of the hole edge. Either option will work, so again, this is merely a matter of style preference. You will need to connect it to the palm and back sides of your trank pattern. Pin and sew in place. Attach the fourchette to the palm side of your pattern first. Once the piece has been sewn onto the palm side of the trank, attach it to the back side of the trank. Sew from the tip of the index finger and down along the palm side slit, then back up to the tip of the middle finger. When joining the fourchette to the back trank, start from the tip of the middle finger and move down the slit, then back up to the tip of the index finger. Once the fourchette between your index and middle fingers has been sewn on, move onto the fourchettes between your middle and ring fingers and between your ring and pinky fingers. The sewing method for these other two fourchettes is exactly the same as the sewing method for the first. Sew the middle/ring fourchette on next. Once it's on, sew the ring/pinky fourchette on. Work as you did before, sewing each fourchette onto the palm side of your trank first before doubling back over the back side of the glove. If necessary, pin down the glove so that the outer edges of both sides meet each other. Sew down both sides of the gloves and close up any gaps that still remain around the finger area. The only opening left by the end of this step should be the wrist opening. This, of course, remains open. If you want to hide your side seams, make sure that the right sides of your glove pieces face each other as you finish up the sewing. Turn the glove right-side out when the sewing is finished. If you want the seams to show, keep the wrong sides facing in as you sew. When you complete this step, you should have one finished glove. Follow the same exact sewing steps with your remaining pieces to make a second glove that matches the first. Sew the thumb piece together, then sew the thumb piece into the thumb hole of the trank. Stitch all the fourchettes in place, working with the index/middle combination first, followed by the middle/ring combination, and concluded with the ring/pinky combination. Note that the palm side of this glove will be the opposite of the palm side for your first glove. Stitch along the sides and open finger gaps to complete the glove, leaving only the wrist open. At this point, your gloves are finished and ready to wear.
Summary: Sew down the side of the thumb. Pin and sew the thumb on. Insert the first fourchette piece in between your first fingers. Repeat this procedure with the other two fourchettes. Sew down the side of your glove. Repeat with the second glove. Try on your gloves.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since plants can dry unevenly, spraying a chemical desiccant onto the plants can help them reach the right moisture level at the same time. Some common desiccants include glyphosate, glufosinate, and diquat. Different products may vary in how long they take to desiccate the plant. Always read the label see how long you need to give the plants, and follow all instructions as you use the product. Check in advance to ensure that the product you purchased is safe to use on foods. While this can help dry out pods, it will not make immature pods ripen faster. It will help speed up the drying process, however, if you live in an area with a short growing season. Once mature and dry, lentil plants should be easy to pull up from the ground. Grasp the plant as close to the ground as possible before lifting up. Set the plants aside in a pile until you have removed them all. It is a good idea to wear gardening gloves as you do this to protect your hands. Once the plants have been pulled from the ground, spread them out in a straight line outdoors. The weather must be sunny and dry without any wind for this to work. After a week, the plants will turn brown, making it easy to harvest the lentils from the plants. This works well if you want to speed up the drying process without the use of chemical desiccants. It does require the right type of weather, however. Choose a shed, garage, or room with good ventilation. Hang the stems upside down on a drying rack. After 1-2 weeks, the plants may turn brown and dry. This is also a good idea if the weather is very windy. Wind can damage lentil plants that have been pulled up from the ground. If you have picked your plants but have noticed that some are still unripe, you can let them ripen and dry out using this same method. Leave them to dry until the pods turn brown or yellow and rattle when shaken.
Summary: Apply desiccant about 1 week before harvest to speed up drying. Pull the lentil plants from the ground when they are ready to harvest. Lay the harvested plants to dry in the sun for an organic approach. Dry lentils indoors if the weather is too wet or cloudy.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A player cannot receive an offside penalty for receiving the ball directly from a throw-in, a corner kick, or a goal kick. In these situations the ball has left play and reset all offside statuses. When the defending team takes control of the ball, the offside status of the attackers gets reset. Any attackers who were offside for the last play are now free to interfere with the play without penalty. However, there are some edge cases where it may be unclear whether this has happened. The ref always makes the final call, but these are the general guidelines: If a defender accidentally deflects the ball or it rebounds off her, there is no offside reset. This includes an instinctive reaction to deflect the ball, although this can be a tough ref call. If the defender makes a save to prevent a goal, there is no offside reset. (This prevents offside players from gaining an advantage by waiting at the goal.) The defender must gain control of the ball before the offside player can interfere. (This can be subjective, but the offside player is usually safe if approaching from some distance away.) If a defender runs off the edge of the field due to his own momentum, he still counts as a defender when working out onside and offside positions. An offside player who does not approach the ball can still receive a penalty if she blocks the vision of a defender in a way that impairs her play. Since a rules tweak in 2013, this is the only way an offside player can receive a penalty without coming into contact with a defender or the ball. Gestures and shouting do not violate offside rules, though they may receive a penalty for unsporting conduct.
Summary:
Know the situations where an offside penalty is impossible. Understand offside resets. Take into account defenders who have run off the field. Consider offside players interfering from afar.
