INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In general, anything you find offensive can be harassing—especially when your tormentor knows that the behavior upsets you. However, not all offensive behavior will qualify as harassment. Instead, harassment is usually targeted behavior meant to annoy, terrorize or torment you, and can take the following forms:  stalking cyberstalking a pattern of menacing behavior communicating threats to your safety Sexual harassment law has been developed the most in employment. Congress has made it illegal to discriminate based on sex, and this discrimination includes sexual harassment. You should research workplace sexual harassment. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigates allegations of workplace sexual harassment and publishes helpful information on its website. You can certainly face sexual harassment outside the workplace. However, in order to sue, you won't sue for "sexual harassment." Instead, you might sue for harassment generally, or for another civil wrong, such as wrongful imprisonment or assault. ” The most obvious form of sexual harassment is the “quid pro quo.” This means that someone offers you something—a promotion, a raise, etc.—in exchange for sex or other favors. If you were on the receiving end of a quid pro quo, then you were probably sexually harassed.  There are many examples of a quid pro quo. For example, you might be called into your boss’s office, whereupon he shuts the door and puts his hand on your thigh. When you object, he says, “Don’t you want that promotion I was telling you about?” In this situation, there is a suggestion that in order to be promoted you must put up with his sexual advances. That is a quid pro quo. Even if you give in and accept the harassment, you can still file a sexual harassment claim. Other behavior isn’t so clearly sexual harassment and will depend on the circumstances. You should pay attention to the following, which can sometimes qualify as sexual harassment:  sexual jokes sexual slurs and epithets name calling, ridicule, and mockery touching physical threats restricting your movement (such as blocking you or leaning over you at your desk) displays of sexually suggestive cartoons or pictures Behavior can qualify as “sexual harassment” so long as it is based on someone’s sex or gender. The conduct does not need to be sexually suggestive or relate in any way to sexual activity. For example, making demeaning statements about women or men in the workplace could qualify as sexual harassment even if you are not talking about sexual activity. You might find your workplace hostile because of pervasive sexual comments. However, you also need to analyze whether you have contributed to the sexually-charged environment through your own conduct. If you regularly shared lewd jokes and made derogatory comments, then it will be difficult for you to suddenly claim that you found the environment hostile.

SUMMARY: Identify harassing behavior. Research workplace sexual harassment. Note any “quid pro quo. Identify common harassing behavior. Understand the full scope of workplace sexual harassment. Analyze your own participation in the harassment.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Calla lilies will grow multiple leaves and flower stems from one bulb. If you’re planting 1 bulb in a pot, use a 5–6 in (13–15 cm) deep pot. If you’re planting 2 or 3 bulbs in the same pot, use a pot that is around 8 in (20 cm) deep. Calla lilies can be a bit picky about their temperature. Their ideal growing conditions are between 55 °F (13 °C) and 75 °F (24 °C). If your home gets hotter than 75 °F (24 °C), you can use mulch in the pot to keep it cooler.  Spread a thin layer of mulch such as wood chips, sawdust, straw clippings, or pebbles on the top of your soil if needed. Be sure to keep your lily away from air conditioning and heating vents. Calla lilies need plenty of bright light during non-peak hours of the day. Too much midday sun can scorch their leaves.  A window facing east or west is best for your indoor lily because your lily will get either the morning or afternoon sun while still giving it some time in the shade to cool down. The east or west side of your home will work best as an area if you’re planting your lily outside. Danger of frost ends at various times for different regions, but you want to make sure whenever you plant your bulbs outside is after this time. As the first day of spring in your region approaches, pay attention to the frost levels in the mornings. If they are decreasing, your almost ready to plant. Well-draining soil dries easily after rain. Don't plant your lilies in a low spot in your garden, nor a place that holds puddles of water for more than 15 minutes after watering. If the soil is sandy where you live, you can add fertilizer to the soil to help your lily grow. For clay soils, mix in at least half potting soil to the area where you’re planting your lily. Calla lilies grow naturally near the edges of ponds, so they like moist soil. Don't allow your lily’s soil to dry out completely, but take care not to over-water it, either. Soggy soil will cause the bulbs to rot. Start with a bit of water and allow that to soak in. Check on your plant each day to see if the top is starting to dry; if so, add more water.

SUMMARY:
Choose a pot that is 5–8 in (13–20 cm) deep for indoor lilies. Keep indoor lilies in a room that stays between 55 and 75 °F (13 and 24 °C). Place lilies in a spot that gets 6 hours of non-midday sun per day. Plant bulbs outside after the danger of frost has passed. Provide well-draining soil for your bulbs. Water your plant so the soil is always moist but not soggy.
