Article: You should cover the container with two inches of soil, in a ratio of three quarters potting soil and one quarter coconut coir. Lightly pat down the soil to make a flat seeding surface but without compressing it too much. The seed packet may give you specific instructions for propagating the microgreens, such as how deep to plant the seed and the time to maturation. If there are specific tips or instructions for the type of microgreen, you should follow them. Place a handful of seeds in one hand. Place your hand palm upwards, at a slight angle towards the surface of the soil. Use your thumb, index and middle finger to gradually spread the seeds as they fall from your hand. Try to spread the seeds evenly.  If you are growing smaller seeds, you should aim for a ratio of ten seeds per square inch.  If you are growing larger seeds, you should aim for a ratio of five seeds per square inch. If you have any vermiculite, you can use it instead of the soil. Vermiculite is a mineral that is used for seed propagation. After applying the thin layer of soil or vermiculite, you should still be able to see some of the seeds. You don’t want to bury them completely. You should mist your greens once per day. If you are not sure whether they need water, stick your finger a half inch into the soil. If the soil is dry, they need to be watered. If it is damp, the seeds should be happy. If it is extremely wet or marshy, you may be drowning your microgreens. If you are using propagation tray, simply place another tray on top of the one you are using. If you are using a takeout or other container, you could cover it with a plastic bag. Make sure you put a few holes in the plastic bag so that the seeds don’t suffocate. It should take about a week for the seeds to germinate. A couple days after germination, take off the cover to expose the seeds to more light. Let them grow for two to four weeks before harvesting, depending on the type of microgreen.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Put the soil in your container. Look at the instructions on the seed packet. Sprinkle the seeds over the surface of the soil. Add a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Spray the seeds with a mister. Cover the microgreens to create a small greenhouse. Wait for your seeds to germinate.
Article: If you are keeping a stallion for breeding purposes, make breeding a separate process from regular training and everyday activities. Conduct breeding at a separate location (such as a designated breeding shed), and use a separate halter and lead for breeding purposes. Teach the stallion that breeding is a separate activity from everyday life.  The goal is to channel the stallion’s innate aggression and desire for dominance toward the breeding process, and remove it to some degree from regular training and other activities. In some cases, you’ll be able to train the horse so that it can be treated like and live amongst other horses normally when it’s not involved in breeding. Pasture breeding involves leaving the horses free to breed on their own terms. Other than determining which stallions and mares are available to each other, you largely relinquish control using this method.  This is the most “natural” breeding method, but it’s also the least efficient. Also, if there are multiple stallions in the field, it’s hard to know which one has successfully impregnated a particular mare. Pasture breeding can be dangerous for a stallion and a mare. Consult with your veterinarian before deciding to pasture breed. Hand breeding involves selecting a stallion and mare, bringing them together, and directly supervising the breeding process. This takes a lot of training and expertise to conduct properly, so observe and work with experienced handlers first. Hand breeding (also called live cover breeding) usually requires the presence of 3-6 experienced handlers to make sure both the stallion and mare can be properly controlled. This isn’t a job for novices! Artificial insemination removes the meeting between stallion and mare and puts you in control of the breeding process. Again, though, special training and techniques are required for this method. Unless you have been specifically trained to conduct the procedure, it’s best to hire a professional to conduct the semen collection process.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Treat breeding separately from regular handling. Use pasture breeding for the most hands-off approach. Employ hand breeding if you have experience and want a managed process. Utilize artificial insemination if you want to eliminate stallion-mare interaction.
Article: Most office chairs have a plastic tube over the extendable cylinder. Slide this all the way down or up, until you can see the metal cylinder underneath. You will not be able to adjust the height after this repair, so make sure you have it right. The seat of the chair should be level with your knees when you are standing.  If the chair won't stay up even when no one is on it, lay it on its side. If the plastic skirt covers the cylinder at this height, you will need to remove the skirt first. To do this, turn the chair upside down, push the retaining clip at the base with a screwdriver, and pull off the wheels, then the skirt. Slide the wheels back on. Get a ¾" (2 cm) hose clamp (Jubilee Clip) from a hardware store. Loosen the screw on the hose clamp (Jubilee Clip) and pull out the belt end. Wrap the clamp around the metal cylinder, but do not tighten it yet. The clamp will need to be very tight to hold the chair up. Give the clamp a better surface to grip by wrapping a strip of rubber or a couple layers of duct tape around the cylinder. Do this at the highest visible point on the cylinder,  Alternatively, scuff up this area of the cylinder with sandpaper. If the cylinder looks dirty or greasy, clean this off first. Slide the hose clamp to the top of the cylinder. Double check that the chair is at the correct height. Pull the hose clamp tight and fasten it by rotating the screw. The chair should now be unable to slide down past the clamp. The built-in height adjustment will still not work properly. If the chair is at the wrong height, move the clamp higher or lower on the cylinder. If the clamp slides off, fasten it over a strip of rubber to improve the grip, or try the PVC pipe method below.

Slide the plastic skirt off the cylinder. Set the chair to the preferred height. Wrap a hose clamp around the cylinder. Improve the grip of the clamp (recommended). Tighten the clamp as far as possible. Test the chair.
