Q: Call your loved one, write him an encouraging card or letter, or visit him at home. This will show that you will stick by him no matter what. There are many different ways to stay in contact with the person you care about.  Make a point of seeing your loved one as often as you can without overwhelming him. If you're working, email him to check in. If you can't call every day, communicate through texting as often as you can. Your loved one may feel better, even just a little bit, if he spends some time out of the house. It can be monumentally difficult for a person suffering from depression to get outside in the first place. Offer to do something that your loved one might enjoy in the fresh air. You don't have to train for a marathon together. Just try going for 20-minute walk with your loved one. He may feel a little better after engaging in some physical activity outdoors. Some studies have shown that connecting with nature can reduce stress and elevate mood.  According to research, walking in green areas can help a person’s mind get in a meditative state, contributing to further relaxation and improved mood. Getting some sunshine will elevate a person’s vitamin D levels, which can contribute to improved mood. Even just sitting on a bench and soaking in some sunlight for a few minutes can be helpful. Your friend may get distracted, even momentarily, from his depression if he has something to engage in and look forward to. While you shouldn't force your friend to take up skydiving or learn the entirety of the Japanese language, encouraging your loved one to have some interests can help shift the focus away from his depression.  Find some uplifting literature for your friend to read. You can read together in a park, or discuss the book. Bring over a movie by your favorite director. Your friend can fall in love with a new range of movies, and you can keep your friend company while you watch. Suggest that your friend try to express his artistic side. Drawing, painting, or writing poetry can help your friend express himself. This is also something that you can do together. Whenever your friend achieves a goal, acknowledge and congratulate him. Even small goals, such as taking a shower or going to the grocery store, can be significant for someone who is depressed. You can encourage your loved one to try new things and get outside, but sometimes the best thing you can do is be there for all the mundane things. This can help your loved one feel less alone.  Being there for low-key activities like making lunch or watching TV can make a big difference. You can ease the depressed person’s burden by helping with the small things. This might be running errands, shopping for food and necessities, cooking, cleaning, or doing your loved one's laundry. Depending on the situation, giving your loved one healthy physical contact (such as a hug) can help him feel better.
A: Stay in contact. Take your loved one for a walk. Get out into nature. Enjoy the sun together. Encourage your friend to pursue new interests. Acknowledge your friend’s achievements. Be there to improve your loved one's everyday life.

Article: The fabric needs to be the same width as your desired bag, plus 1 inch (2.5 cm) for the side seam allowances. You should also add 1 inch (2.5 cm) to the overall height for the hems.  For example, if you want a 6 by 12 in (15 by 30 cm) bag, your fabric should be 7 by 25 inches (18 by 64 cm). Use a sturdy fabric, such as canvas, cotton, linen or canvas. The strip can be whatever length you want it to be, but it needs to be twice the width, plus a 1 in (2.5 cm) seam allowance. You can cut 1 long strip to make a shoulder strap, or 2 short strips to make handles.  The strap or handle does not have to match your bag. You can use a contrasting color to make your bag look more interesting. Use sturdy, woven fabric for this, like cotton, linen, or canvas. Don't use stretchy fabric. Cut a 1 by 1 in (2.5 by 2.5 cm) piece of Velcro. Find the center of the front and back top hem. Glue each piece of Velcro to the inside of your bag, right against the top edge of the hem. Wait until the glue dries, then press the Velcro together to close the bag.  Avoid using self-adhesive Velcro. The glue will eventually come off. For best results, use fabric glue. You can use hot glue in a pinch, however.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cut a piece of fabric twice the height you want your bag to be. Cut a long strip of fabric for the handle or shoulder strap. Add a Velcro closure, if you want the bag to open and close. Finished!

Q: Once the seedlings have established themselves, then the plants out so that there are 2 feet (0.61 m) between them.  If you are growing the plants in containers or otherwise want the plants to remain short and stunted, it is possible to leave only 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) between each seedling. Wait until the stems of the seedlings have already developed two sets of leaves before thinning them out. Keep the healthiest, strongest looking plants and remove the weakest. Four o'clock flowers are somewhat drought-resistant, but the should not be allowed to remain dry for more than a day or two.  Try to give the plants at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water weekly, either by rainfall or hand watering with a hose or watering can. Note that flowers grown in a container will require more regular waterings than those grown outdoors. Choose a water-soluble, all-purpose floral fertilizer and apply it before a rainfall or when you water the plants. Choose a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer, which contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This type of fertilizer will promote an overall even state of health for the plant. Four o'clock flowers rarely have problems with insects and diseases, so pre-treatment for such conditions is highly discouraged. If problems do develop, treat the plants with an appropriate pesticide or fungicide. The product can either be organic or chemical. Each bush should grow a large tuber below ground. If you live in mild climates, you should be able to leave this tuber in the ground without causing damage to the plant. If you live in notably cold climates, however, you should dig it up in the late fall.  Store the tubers in between layers of newspaper in cardboard boxes or wooden crates. You can also store the tubers in peat moss or sand. Do not use plastic containers or other closed boxes, since these can encourage the tubers to rot. Place the tubers in a garage, shed, or similar environment. They should remain dry and dark throughout the winter.  Replant the tubers in the spring. Dig a hole large enough for the tuber in the same location it once grew. Place the tuber back in the ground, cover with soil, and care for the plant as before. If you do not want to dig up the tuber, you can usually protect it over the winter by covering the planting area with 1 or 2 inches (2.5 or 5 cm) of organic mulch.  Organic mulch can include leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and newspaper. The mulch provides insulation and keeps the soil a little warmer. Note that in notably cold climates, mulch may not be enough to protect the tuber over the winter. If you are growing the plants in containers, it is also recommended that you spread mulch on top of the container during the spring or summer to help reduce the amount of water evaporation that takes place. This can help prevent the soil from drying out too severely.
A:
Thin out the seedlings. Keep the soil moist. Apply a mild fertilizer monthly. Treat for insects and diseases only as needed. Consider digging up the tubers before winter. Consider covering the area with mulch.
