Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spread out the barley on food dehydrator racks. Dry the barley for up to 24 hours in a dehydrator. Dry the barley in an oven as an alternative. Sun-dry the grains in warm climates if necessary. Remove the rootlets. Store the barley in an airtight container.

Answer: Unfold the garbage bags and remove the baking sheets from the bags. Transfer the barley to the dehydrator racks. Spread the grains out with your hands so they're in a single layer. Drying the barley at a low temperature will stop the germination process and remove excess moisture from the grains. Set the dehydrator to 120 °F (49 °C) and turn it on. Leave the barley to dry for 6 to 8 hours, and then test it for doneness. Pull the rootlets attached to the grain. If they separate easily from the grain, the barley is sufficiently dry. Otherwise, continue dehydrating the barley until the rootlets start to fall off easily. Set the oven to 125 °F (52 °C). Transfer the barley to clean baking sheets and spread the grains out into a single layer. Place the baking sheets in the oven and dry the grains for 6 to 8 hours. Test the rootlets to see if they fall off easily, and continue drying the barley until they do. Don’t dry the barley in an oven that can't go as low as 125 °F (52 °C), because drying the barley at too high a temperature will destroy the enzymes in the grain. If you don’t have a dehydrator or suitable oven, you can dry the barley in the sun in warm, dry climates. Spread the barley out in a single layer on baking sheets. Place the barley in direct sunlight and leave it out to dry all day. Bring the barley in at night to protect it from predators, and return it to a sunny location in the morning. The drying process could take 2 to 3 days, depending on the outdoor temperature. Bring in the barley immediately if it starts to rain. When the barley is sufficiently dry that the rootlets fall off easily, turn off the dehydrator or oven, or bring the barley in from outside. Transfer the dried barley to a colander and shake the colander to remove the rootlets. To avoid having rootlets fly everywhere, shake the grains outside. Transfer the malted and dried barley to an airtight container, such as a mason jar, food storage container, or freezer bag. Store the grains in a cool, dry location, for up to a year. A good place for barley storage is a dry root cellar, or the refrigerator if you have room.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a plastic scraper to remove the dried paint. Moisten a cloth in mineral spirits. Apply nail polish remover. Wash the area.

Answer: Try scraping off the dried paint with a plastic scraper or plastic spatula. If that doesn’t work, you can use a razor. Be sure to use the razor carefully to avoid damaging the vinyl. You can also use a spoon. Pour a small amount of mineral spirits or turpentine on a cloth to moisten it. Rub it over the dried paint until it has loosened up or been removed. Repeat this step as many times as necessary. If the dried paint has not been removed, pour a small amount of acetone nail polish remover onto a clean cloth. Wipe the area until the dried paint has been removed. You may want to test the nail polish remover on a small spot of the flooring to make sure it won’t damage the vinyl. Use just water or water and mild soap to clean the area. Do this to make sure that there aren’t any remaining chemicals on the floor. Then, pat it dry or allow it to dry on its own.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider surgery as your last option. Get kidney stones removed during the kidney separation procedure. Have kidney tumors removed surgically. Repair a bent ureter with surgery.

Answer: Surgery should only be considered as a last resort if you are suffering from several conditions due to your horseshoe kidney. The risk of the surgery done to separate the two kidneys is actually very high, so it is only done in very severe cases. For the most part, surgery is done to fix conditions caused by horseshoe kidney, and is done less often to actually separate the kidneys. The surgery to separate a horseshoe kidney involves three separate surgeries in which a surgeon will work to separate, repair damage, and reconstruct your kidneys. If you suffer from frequent kidney stones and choose to have your kidneys surgically separated, the surgeon will remove your kidney stones at the same time. Again, having surgery done to separate kidneys is risky, so you should consider getting the kidney stones removed via medication and safer surgical practices (see Method 2 for more information). If a kidney tumor, particularly a cancerous tumor, is found it will have to be removed surgically to make sure that it does not cause your kidney further complications. Talk to your doctor about the different procedures available and what would work best for you based on your medical history. During a kidney tumor removal, the tumor will be dissected and the surrounding tissue will be removed. Ureteropelvic Junction “UPJ” Obstruction can occur in people who have horseshoe kidney. Because your kidneys are joined, your ureter (the duct that carries urine from your kidney to your bladder) can be in a position where it becomes bent or kinked. Surgery will be done to correct this so that your urine can flow in a normal way through your body. It is important to get surgery if you have UPJ obstruction because it can cause your kidney to dilate (open up) and can lead to cause abdominal pains, nausea, side back pain, weakness and severe colic. You may also see blood in your urine. It can also lead to a series of kidney infections.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Commit to the team on a personal level. Get something done as early as possible. Give respect to receive respect. Stop fixating on popularity.

Answer:
Demonstrate your commitment to the team by actively involving yourself in the work that goes on. Don't simply manage the team from afar; join the team members and lead them from the frontline.  A healthy and involved work ethic is an important tool you can use to show your commitment, but keep in mind that there are also times when you need to take a step back and direct from the sidelines. Demonstrating your commitment is simply done by demonstrating your investment in the well-being of the team through your actions. Make the best decisions for your team at any given moment, regardless of the sort of work you'll end up doing individually as a result. Inspire your team by solving one major hurdle or other issue almost immediately. Acting so quickly will show how serious you are about your leadership role and may encourage the rest of the team to be equally serious.  If you're coming into a previously established team, quickly identify a pre-existing problem and address it early on.  When you're leading a team from the start of its creation, watch out for early signs of trouble and address the problems as they arise. You might be the leader of the team, but if you want the other team members to respect you, you'll need to show them respect through your words and actions first. This is especially important if you took the leadership role from someone else who still remains in the group. Avoid criticizing the previous leader's work in direct terms. Instead, correct past errors without pointing out where those errors originated. Perform the work properly and make the best possible decisions, even when doing so is an unpopular move. If you're too focused on trying to “play nice,” you may start slacking on your responsibilities as the team leader. The rest of the team may actually lose confidence in you as a result. It's great to be a well-liked leader, of course, and becoming such a leader is encouraged when it is possible. The point is merely to focus on being trusted as a leader instead of focusing on being liked as a person.
