INPUT ARTICLE: Article: These salads demand high-quality, fresh ingredients, so shop at a local market the same day if possible. Tomatoes combine well with many other vegetables; here are a few popular examples:  Greek salad: 2–4 tomatoes (in eighths), 1 large cucumber (sliced thickly), 1 small red onion (sliced thinly). Toss with generous amounts of garlic salad dressing, or a Greek vinaigrette with garlic, oregano, and black pepper.   Caprese: thick slices of tomato, each topped with a slice of fresh mozzarella and a basil leaf or three. Drizzle on extra-virgin olive oil just before serving. For an extra-refreshing salad, combine equally sized cubes of tomato and watermelon. Top with black pepper, a little salt, and vinaigrette. Let stand a few minutes before serving.  Note — If storing tomatoes for more than a day, a cellar or air-conditioned room around 55-70ºF (13–21ºC) preserves flavor better than the fridge or a warm room. . Coleslaw is another summer appetizer, that pairs well with barbecue and other strong flavors. The heart of a coleslaw is a finely chopped cabbage, usually paired with other crunchy vegetables (shredded carrot is especially popular), sweet flavors (apple, golden raisins), and a binding dressing made from vinegar and mayonnaise or sour cream. Here's a recipe to get you started. . If the weather's cold and you need a hearty dinner appetizer, roast a tray of vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Season with lemon juice and herbs and serve hot.  Include a few vegetables that don't normally go into a raw salad, such as potatoes, eggplant, or cauliflower. Remember that different vegetables require different cooking times. This example tells you how to combine potatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Asian and Asian-inspired salads bring many new techniques to the table. The vegetables are often marinated for an hour or more to add an acidic tang, while spicy, salty, and sweet add a great deal of complexity. Here a couple examples:  Slice cucumbers and sweet onions very thinly, preferably with a mandoline. Marinate in a homemade Asian dressing, or this sesame lemon dressing.  Fumi salad roasts sesame seeds and almonds to add flavor to cabbage and ramen noodles. You can easily turn this into a main course by adding chicken. Add Asian flavors to any vegetable salad with soy ginger dressing or miso dressing. Go easy on these if you aren't used to them. They tend to be more concentrated than Western dressings.

SUMMARY: Serve cold tomato salad for a summer appetizer. Chop up a coleslaw Serve a roasted vegetable appetizer Put together an Asian salad.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lay out the mat in front of you where you plan on doing the handstand. That way, you'll have some padding if you fall over or lose your balance. Purchase folded panel mats from fitness and athletics stores. Extend your arms out on each side of your head. Step with 1 foot forward into a lunge position and bend forward at the hips. Place your hands down on the padded mat so they’re shoulder-width apart. Kick 1 of your legs up above you and then lift your second leg off the ground.  Keep your front knee above your ankle as opposed to your toes. Push upward using the heel of your front foot. Plyo boxes are used mostly in Crossfit and add extra support. Check that your biceps are parallel to your ears and extend one foot with your toes pointed to the floor. Start rocking backward and forward to create momentum. After gaining momentum for 2 to 3 seconds, kick yourself up with your feet, making sure that your back foot leaves the ground before your bent foot.  You may have to kick harder rather than softer—it's easier to decrease your speed to balance compared to increasing your speed to compensate for too little balance. If you over kick, turn sideways and cartwheel yourself to your feet.

SUMMARY: Place a folded panel mat in front of you. Kick 1 leg up into your handstand at a time. Grab a plyo box and kick up to the ceiling if you want a greater challenge.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before your Team Decision-Making Meeting (TDM), gather as many supporters as you can and ask them to join you. They could be neighbors, family members, teachers, doctors, etc.. They will be able to talk to the social worker and convince them of your fitness to maintain custody of your child. In addition, be prepared to discuss why it would be safe for your child to return home. For example, if your child was taken from you due to neglect, be prepared to show the social worker that you have a plan in place to never neglect your child again. As soon as is reasonably possible after your child has been removed from your custody, you will be notified of a TDM. During this meeting, you and any supporters you have will meet with the social worker and discuss whether a safety plan can be developed so that your child can be returned to you. A safety plan will address all of the safety concerns that caused your child to be taken away from you and will dictate how those concerns will be alleviated.  If all safety concerns can be adequately addressed, your child may be returned to you. However, if not all concerns can be alleviated, your child will remain in out-of-home care and a court hearing will be scheduled. At your detention hearing, a judge will get an impression of the case and will determine where your child will be placed. Before the hearing begins, you will be given an opportunity to read the petition the social worker filed and you will have an an opportunity to ask questions about it. You need to make sure you attend this hearing because vital decisions will be made about your child and their well-being. If you attend, you can help make these decisions and you will show the court that you care about your child. If you do not attend, the court will move forward without you and you will be sent a letter notifying you of the next hearing. About two weeks after your detention hearing, you will have the opportunity to attend a jurisdictional hearing. At this hearing, you will admit or deny all of the statements in the petition the social worker filed with the court. The court will then make a determination as to the truth of the petition and your statements about it. When you attend this hearing, come prepared and be sure you have read and understand the petition. If possible, bring with you evidence of your ability to care for your child.  If the judge agrees with the petition, the court will schedule a dispositional hearing, which may take place at the same time as the jurisdictional hearing or at a different time. If the judge agrees with you and finds the petition to be untruthful, the case may be dismissed and your child will be returned to you. At this final hearing, the court will listen to testimony from both sides and will consider evidence that either party presents. If the court determines that your child should remain out of your custody, the court will make orders about when and how you can visit your child and what services you will be required to complete. If the court determines that your child can be returned to you, this will happen. As a part of the court's order, you will take part in creating and following a "case plan." A case plan outlines the services you will need to take part in, the steps you will need to follow, and timelines that will be required to be followed in order to have your child returned to you. When you attend the dispositional hearing, be sure you prepare adequately. If you have people that can testify on your behalf, bring them. If you have evidence of your ability to parent, bring it. For example, if your child was taken from your custody due to unsafe living conditions, bring a new lease that shows you have moved in to a more suitable home. If your child was taken from you because you were abusing drugs, bring recent statements from rehabilitation centers stating that you are working to fix your problem.

SUMMARY:
Gather supporters. Take part in a TDM. Watch for a notification about your child's detention hearing. Attend a jurisdictional hearing. Go to the dispositional hearing. Prepare evidence of your ability to parent.
