Problem: Article: The best soil temperature during the planting stage is 55 °F (13 °C). Ideally, the temperature should warm to 77 °F (25 °C) once the plants reach the emergence stage. The minimal soil temperature for green bean seeds is 48 °F (9 °C). If the soil temperature drops below this, even at night, the seeds may not germinate well, resulting in slow growth. A trellis or other fencing is not necessary if you are planting bush beans, but if you are going with a pole variety, growing the crop without some form of trellis will severely hinder the growth and yield of your plants.  The simplest support you can provide for pole beans is a cattle panel. This is a small section of wire fence measuring about 16 feet (4.9 m) by 5 feet (1.5 m). Simply set up the fence behind your growing area before planting the seeds. You could also use a traditional pyramid trellis or a metal or plastic stake. Position either one just behind the planting location and make sure that the bottom 4 inches (10 cm) or so are underground. Each seed should also be about 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2 cm) apart and covered lightly with loose soil. If your soil is a little on the sandy side, plant the seeds a little deeper. If you're planting multiple rows of beans, leave 1–2 feet (0.30–0.61 m) of room between each row. Avoid soaking the seeds before planting or immediately after planting. When exposed to excessive moisture, green bean seeds have a tendency to crack and break. Sow each seed roughly 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart. Use your fingers to press the individual seeds down into the soil. If you're planting pole beans, they'll need to be spaced out a little more.  Plant pole bean seeds 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) apart. It's best not to start your seeds indoors, as green beans don't survive transplant well. Your seedlings likely won't thrive after transplanting. Standard wood chip mulch or straw works well with green beans. Mulch can prevent the soil from getting too cool or too warm, and it also helps the soil retain moisture. Apply roughly 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) of mulch over the plants after the soil has started to warm up.  Other good mulches include weathered straw and untreated lawn clippings. Make sure to use grass clippings that do not contain pesticides as mulch. Mulch can also help prevent the spread of weeds. You can continue sowing green bean seeds every 2 weeks if you want a continual harvest that lasts all summer and into fall. Skip a planting if you plan to be gone with the green beans are ready to harvest. Note, however, that excessively hot weather may cause the plants to drop their blossoms and pods prematurely. If you live in a region known for particularly hot summers, you may need to put a stop to your green bean growing season during the hottest months. For a final fall crop of green beans, you should sow the seeds roughly 3 months before you expect the first frost to hit. The time of your first frost will vary depending on the region you live in. If the first frost occurs before your final crop of green beans is ready to harvest, the buds or pods may drop prematurely. This is true even if the frost only occurs at night and the daytime temperatures are still within the ideal range.
Summary: Sow the seeds outdoors after the last spring frost. Set up a trellis if you're planting pole beans. Plant each seed 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) deep in the ground. Plant the bean seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep if you're using a container. Apply mulch to the soil where beans are planted. Sow additional seeds every 2 weeks. Stop planting new seeds 10 to 12 weeks before the first expected frost.

Problem: Article: Your foot should be slightly off the floor with enough room to flex it in different directions. About 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) should be enough.  If you feel unsteady, place your hand on a wall or a piece of sturdy furniture to help hold your balance. If you need to, you can also do this exercise sitting down. Keep your knee straight, and stretch your toes forward either as much as you can or until you feel discomfort. After about 15 seconds, relax your foot back to the neutral position. If your ankle doesn’t pop, you can try again or stretch your ankle another direction. After each move, hold your foot in place for 15 seconds, then relax. Once your ankle pops, you can stop, or you can continue the stretches if you want to loosen your ankle even more. Your ankle will only pop about once every 20 minutes, so there’s no need to continue stretching unless you want to. Try 5 circles each of small, medium, and large rotations, first counterclockwise, then clockwise. If the stretches didn’t crack your ankle, the rotations may help it to pop. If your ankle doesn’t pop after the rotations, let it rest before trying another method. Sometimes, only one of your ankles might need to be cracked, in which case, you don’t have to switch to the other side. However, if you’ve loosened up the muscles in one ankle, it might be best to stretch the other one as well, even if it doesn’t crack.
Summary: Stand up straight with your foot held out in front of you. Point your toes forward as much as you can for about 15 seconds. Repeat by pulling your toes back and turning your ankle from side to side. Try rotating your ankle in circles if it didn’t pop already. Switch legs and repeat if you want to crack both ankles.

Problem: Article: Portuguese is a fairly international language, and it may be possible to find classes in your area. If you can't find anything nearby, look online for MOOCs and other online courses that offer video conferences where you can practice speaking with teachers and other students.  Look for language schools in your area. Some community colleges may offer classes you can take. Search online to see if there are any Portuguese cultural centers near your town. You may also want to hire a tutor if you aren't getting enough one-to-one conversation time in your class. Depending on where you live, it can be easier or harder to find a native speaker who can tutor you in Portuguese. Contact the language department of any college or university in the area to ask if they have tutors.  Consider posting "Portuguese tutor wanted" ads on Craigslist or any local message boards. Ask your friends if they know any native speakers, teachers, or advanced students of Portuguese. If you know of other students of Portuguese in your area, organize a meet-up group so you can practice speaking together. Tune into radio stations or podcasts that play Portuguese music, or listen to music you find on Youtube or your preferred streaming service. Look up world music compilations for ideas, as many include music with Portuguese lyrics.  Enjoy traditional Fado music sung by singers like Amalia Rodrigues or Cristina Branco. Check out the delicate polyphonic arrangements of Cante Alentejano, a musical style from the Alentejo region of Southern Portugal. A great way to get into the rhythm of conversation in Portuguese is to watch movies and tv shows. If you are a beginner, try watching with the subtitles on (in Portuguese, if possible).  Check out classics of Portuguese cinema like Aniki-Bóbó. Watch children's cartoons that Portuguese children enjoy! Check out Tic Tac Tales or Romance da Raposa.
Summary: Sign up for a class online or in person. Find a tutor if you can't find a class. Listen to Fado and other music with lyrics in Portuguese. Watch Portuguese movies and TV shows.
