INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bees tend to stay away from peppermint. Plant some peppermint seedlings in your garden in the spring. Place your peppermint plants at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the flowers that seem to attract the bees. Any bees that wander into your garden will smell the peppermint and stay away from your plants. There is some evidence that marigolds will work as well, although some species really enjoy pollinating marigolds. Cinnamon is also a great natural bee repellent. Once a day, sprinkle a liberal amount of cinnamon around the plants in your garden. The amount of cinnamon you use depends on the size of your garden, but you’ll probably go through at least 1 container a day for a standard-sized home. Do this for 1-2 weeks to let nearby bees know this isn’t a good area for pollination, and the bees will stop coming back to your garden. You don’t need to work the cinnamon into the soil. It’s fine to simply let it rest on top of plants and dirt. Get a ladder, bucket, and sponge. Fill the bucket halfway with water and add 1-2 squirts of dish soap. Then, sprinkle a handful of mint leaves into the water. Enlist a friend to hold the ladder for you. Wash the ledges of your roof with the minty-soap to keep bees away. If your roof is flat, pour the remaining soap and water on your roof and spread it around with a broom or large sponge. This will keep bees from setting up a colony in your chimney, roof, or garden. The odor from the mint and soap will linger for a while, and the bees that seem to be frequenting your home will look for somewhere else to set up shop. If you look thoroughly and can’t find a hive, it’s possible that the colony doesn’t live nearby. If this is the case, you can probably leave the bees alone since they’re only in your garden for the pollen. Bees are incredibly good for the environment, and if you don’t need to destroy or remove the hive, simply leave it be. If you live in an area where the temperature gets below 50 °F (10 °C) during the winter months, the hive may leave on their own. You may be able to simply wait them out.

SUMMARY: Plant peppermint in your garden to repel bees. Sprinkle cinnamon over your plants every day for a week to deter bees. Wash your ledges with soapy water and mint to keep bees from nesting. Leave the bees alone if they aren’t a bother and there’s no hive.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a quality whey protein or other protein additive. Verify that your protein additive has all essential amino acids. Amino acids help your body maintain blood and organ functions. They also help boost your metabolism.  Ensure that your protein has low levels of cholesterol, which is not a necessary addition to healthy protein options. Determine if the additive contains natural proteins. Artificially produced proteins aren't as effective in building muscles as natural proteins. This should be apparent on the label — if not, ask a sales representative. Generally, aim to have a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, especially after a workout. Plan this in advance by reading nutrition labels on your shake ingredients. It may help to write down what you are putting in your shake, and include how many grams of carbs and protein your ingredients contain. That way you can tweak your recipe to get the desired ratio. Unlike the natural carbohydrates found in grains and seeds, processed carbs are not good for your body. Starch and extra sugar is added to many foods, like cereal, snack bars, frozen and prepackaged meals, and energy drinks. Check nutrition labels and don't add anything to your shake that contains high fructose corn syrup and other sugary, processed ingredients. Although it's best to snack on fruits, veggies, and whole grains to get carbs, you can also add carbohydrate supplements to a shake before, during, or after your workout. These “high glycemic” carbs — dextrose, glucose, and maltodextrin — require little digestion and give you a quick blood sugar spike.  This helps your body absorb protein and repair muscle better. Waxy maize is another complex carb supplement that helps your body refuel by replenishing its sugar stores (called glycogen). Start the blender at a slow speed and turn it up to medium. Shut the blender off, and pour your blended shake into a glass or travel mug. Make sure the texture is smooth and there are no sharp chunks in your shake before you enjoy it.

SUMMARY: Start your protein shake with a good base. Create the right carb-to-protein ratio. Avoid processed carbs. Try carb supplements. Blend your ingredients together for a smooth shake.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are certain behaviors that may indicate inhalant abuse. These include odd smells of chemicals on your child's breath or in his room. You may also find stashed or hidden paint cans or cleaning materials around his room or around your house. He may also have stains or marks left on his hands, his clothes, or on his face from paint or markers used as inhalants. There are materials that are associated with the dispersal of inhalants. Inhalant abuse can be done using the inside of a paper or plastic bag, in balloons, or through a saturated cloth. Look for these materials in your child's room or notice if he carries them around. Immediately after inhaling the product, the person experiences a sense of euphoria as well as dizziness or faintness. They will also have incoherent or slurred speaking and poor coordination. Following this initial feeling of being high, many who abuse inhalants will experience:  Sleepiness Lack of inhibition Irritation Faintness Hallucinations or delusions  Nausea Slurred speech Changes in mood Decreased appetite If your child has been abusing inhalants for a long time, there are additional symptoms that might arise. Long-term inhalant abuse can produce apathy, depression, and poor judgment. Because inhalants affect the nervous system and increase levels of dopamine, causing great pleasure and reward, inhalant abuse can become habitual and addictive. Long-term inhalant abuse has been linked to a greater risk of STDs, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. There is a link between inhalant abuse and developing tumors as well as a decreased immune system. Additional dangers include bone marrow loss, hearing loss, and heart and lung damage. In some cases, inhalant abuse can cause death when the person uses a very potent or highly concentrated substance, which causes suffocation or heart attack. This has been termed sudden sniffing death. Chemicals that are associated with sudden sniffing death included chemicals from air conditioning coolant, butane, electronic contact cleaners, some aerosols, and propane.

SUMMARY: Look for the behaviors associated with inhalant abuse. Learn the delivery method. Notice the behavioral and physical effects. Recognize long-term behavioral effects. Understand long-term medical effects.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once speed is gained, driver can pedal like normal. And the rider on handlebars can leave their legs dangling in the air. This method is quite fun. It is easy to go fast.

SUMMARY:
If you have a mountain bike you could try having the second person sit on the handlebars. Have the second person mount the handlebars and hold on. Then have driver use legs to gain some momentum. Note Driver can alternate from which side of neck he looks on. The faster you go the easier it is to balance. For the rider to dismount all they need to do is hop off.
