Fermenting lawn clippings can create heat, and catch on fire. Barn fires start this way from bales of hay with no electricity; house fires have been started from a pile of lawn clippings. Decks are flammable. Place non-flammable pads under your grill. Have a fire extinguisher readily available. Stay with your grill while cooking. Turn off propane if leaving, if even for a minute. After all, you'll be right back and can turn on the propane again.

One-sentence summary -- Do not pile up la-wn clippings near a building. Be careful using a grill on a deck.

Q: An undergraduate degree takes approximately 4 years to finish. When selecting your college, consider the biological science specializations each school has. For example, larger universities may offer a major in botany along with specializations such as plant pathology, agronomy or horticulture. However, a smaller college may have only a general botany major.  Take core requirement courses such as physics, biology, chemistry, plant pathology, horticulture and agronomy. Complete undergraduate electives like math, English and speech, paying close attention to what might be useful in your career path. Complete an internship in botany. The internship helps you gain the experience you need to become a botanist. Many careers in botany require graduate training (at the Master's or doctoral level), but attending graduate school takes some forethought and planning. Don’t rush into it: it is a huge commitment of time and money, and you want to be sure you find the right program for you.  Research graduate school programs and find several you're interested in attending. Consider the programs of study offered, the program's prestige, the location of the school, and the packages available to graduate students (tuition waivers, stipends, health insurance, research opportunities, teaching opportunities, etc.) when narrowing down your choices. If you plan to attend an American university, take and pass the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), a standardized test needed to enter graduate school. The GRE tests verbal and quantitative reasoning and writing skills.  Ask professors for letters of recommendation. Hopefully you established close mentoring relationships with your undergraduate professors and they will be able to attest to your work ethic, interest in plant science, and experience in research to date. Don't ask anyone if you are unsure what type of review they would give you. Complete application requirements such as sending in a letter of intent, application fee, official transcripts and a resume. Graduate school admission committees are typically composed of faculty who will be working with the admitted students, and they tend to admit students that they think will help them with their own research, so be sure to tailor your letter of intent to mention your specific interests in botany and the faculty you want to work with and why. Consider applying to several of your top schools because you are unlikely to be accepted to all of them, especially if your GRE or undergraduate grades are less than stellar or if you have no research or other background in botany. Depending on your program of study, this could take anywhere between two and seven years to complete.  A master's degree in biological science usually takes 2 years to complete. You take courses in botany, participate in fieldwork and complete a thesis.  A doctorate degree in biological science takes 5 to 6 years to finish if you are able to attend full-time, and longer if you have to work and attend part-time. A doctorate degree generally combines fieldwork and classroom instruction, extensive laboratory research and the completion of a dissertation. Now that you have completed your advanced training, you can begin to apply for and accept a position as a botanist in your field of expertise, working in industry, government, public policy, or as a professor.  You can gain practical experience and additional job opportunities through temporary postdoctoral positions at a local university. Temporary postdoctoral fellowships provide a way to publish research findings and earn a permanent faculty or researching position and also help fill up your resume or curriculum vita. You can obtain a job through the college career placement center, online job websites, networking or classified job advertisements. Advancement opportunities for botanists include becoming lead researchers, consultants and managerial positions. Working as a lead botanist researcher includes directing other botanists and botany technicians in research projects. A botanist consultant consists of helping government agencies and businesses with botany issues. A managerial botanist means handling administrative duties such as obtaining funding for research projects. Attend seminars, workshops and courses and read academic journals to keep up to date with plant science advancements.
A: Earn an undergraduate degree in biological science. Prepare for graduate school. Attend graduate school. Work as a botanist.

Article: You may apply for the Permanent Division Fund at their website. An online application is available January 1. Each person must fill out an application. If you prefer to fill out a printed application, you may get a copy from any of the distribution centers around the state. The deadline is March 31. Be sure to gather proof of filing.  If you file online, print off the "Congratulations!" page. This contains your PFD confirmation number. If you mail it, a delivery or proof of mail receipt will suffice. If you hand-deliver the application, then be sure to ask for a receipt. Even if you file electronically, you must still sign the document. There are two ways: either print a signature page off or sign electronically.  To print a signature page, click on the "Reprint a Signature" tab at the PFD website. The link is on the right. Enter your applicant details and hit "Search." Then click "Required Item" and then "Document Center." Print off the signature page after selecting it from "Required Items." Mail the signed page to the "Alaska Department of Revenue, Permanent Fund Dividend Division, P.O. Box 110462, Juneau, AK 99811-042." It may also be faxed to 907-465-3470. Alternately, you may sign the application electronically. To do so, you must create a myAlaska.gov account. A myAlaska account is only available if you are an adult who has received the PFD previously. Step-by-step instructions for electronic signatures are available here.

Article: The baby wipes should feed through the hole on their own as you pull them out. If they don't feed on their own, simply take the lid off and re-feed them through the hole. The baby wipes should tear naturally along the perforated lines in the paper towels. This won't always happen, which is fine. If your container does not have a secondary lid, cover the hole or slit with a piece of duct tape or packaging tape. Peel the tape back to expose the hole or slit whenever you want to use the baby wipes. Fold the end of the tape back by 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) to make it easier to peel back. Boil some water for 2 minutes, let it cool to room temperature, then pour it into the container. How much water you use depends on how dry the baby wipes are and how many you have left. Use enough water to dampen the baby wipes. Some baby wipes will last only a week, but if you added tea tree oil to the solution, they should last up to 3 or 4 months. If the baby wipes start to grow moldy before then, however, toss them immediately.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Pull the baby wipes out of the container 1 at a time. Keep the lid on your container whenever you are not using it. Rehydrate the baby wipes with boiled water if they start to dry. Use the baby wipes within 3 or 4 months.
