Problem: Article: Magpies are more likely to attack you as a single person walking by yourself. If you're in a group, the magpie may feel outnumbered and is less likely to swoop down. No, this is not a joke! Because you can stare down a magpie and it won't attack, fake eyes can have a similar effect. To this end, add fake eyes to your headgear to make the magpie think you are watching it from either side of your head. You can even use googly eyes from the craft store or just ones cut out from a magazine. Another trick is to wear your sunglasses on the back of your hat or head. If you are riding a bike, attach zip ties to the helmet in a random pattern. Choose bright colors. Leave the strips long, and the bright display may be enough to distract the magpie.  You can use this tactic on its own or in combination with fake eyes. Try pipe cleaners in place of zip ties if that's what you have on hand. These garments will protect your scalp and eyes if a magpie decides to get too close. Make sure the hat is solid enough to protect against claws and a beak. If you have an umbrella, open it up and walk with it through the nesting area. It will protect you from the magpie. As an added bonus, it will keep off the sun, too! If the magpie does attack, it will likely go for the highest point: your umbrella. If you find yourself being swooped by a bird, covering your head this way may be your best bet if you have nothing else. Opt for a bag or other protective surface first, but if you have nothing else, protect your eyes and head with your arms. You can also improvise other solutions, such as a newspaper. Anything you can use to cover your head will help.
Summary: Walk in groups to discourage attacks. Wear eyes in the back of your head. Put zip ties on your helmet. Put on a solid hat and sunglasses to protect your head. Use an umbrella in nesting areas. Cover your head with your arms if needed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Simply combine equal parts sugar and olive oil to make the scrub. If you have access to unprocessed, unbleached organic fine grain sugar, use this in the scrub as it will be less likely to irritate your skin. Raw sugars that have large grains will likely be too rough on your skin. Wash your skin with a clean washcloth and clean hands, using warm water. The washcloth should be as soft as possible to prevent irritation; many dermatologists recommend a muslin washcloth.  If your skin is sweaty or dirty, wash it with a gentle cleanser instead of just water and a washcloth. If you’re wearing makeup and want to exfoliate your face, remove the makeup with a cold cream after you wash your face. Use a headband or hair elastic to keep your hair out of your face if you’re washing your face. Once your skin is wet, apply the scrub with your fingers, rubbing it in gentle circles to exfoliate the skin. In areas where the skin is less delicate, you can scrub more vigorously, but pay close attention to how your skin feels and how it is reacting to the scrubbing. If your skin feels irritated, or begins to redden, stop scrubbing immediately as your skin may be having a reaction. Always moisturize your skin after exfoliating. Be sure to choose a moisturizer for your skin type, whether that may be dry, oily, or a combination. Apply it gently with clean hands.

SUMMARY: Make the scrub using home goods. Wet the dry and affected area. Apply the scrub. Apply a moisturizer.

Q: Plan to plant your crocus bulbs when the ground is consistently below 60 °F (16 °C) in the fall. In North America, this is typically in September or October in the North, or in October or November in the South.  Resources such as the Old Farmer's Almanac and the National Weather Service can help you pinpoint when the first hard frost is likely to come to your area.  If desired, you can buy a soil thermometer online or at your local garden store. Purchase high-quality crocus bulbs from a reputable mail-order seed catalog, nursery, or local garden center. Bulbs purchased from non-garden specialty sources are more likely to be second-rate or not flower at all.  Choose your favorite color of crocus to make your garden unique. While crocuses are often purple, there are actually many different varieties and shades. Consult a store associate to determine which variety of crocuses will best suit the aesthetics of your garden. Pick a location for your crocuses that gets full or partial sun. The ground in constant shade will be too cool for the bulbs to thrive. The dense shade on the north side of buildings is often a poor place to plant crocuses. Try the sunny east or west sides instead. Avoid planting locations where there is poor drainage or the ground is often soggy. This can cause your bulbs to rot instead of thriving.  Test your soil to determine if the area you want to plant your crocuses drains well. Dig a hole 12 inches (30 cm) to 18 inches (46 cm) deep in the area you're considering planting your crocuses. Fill it with water.  If the water drains from the hole in 10 minutes or less, you have good drainage. If the soil takes an hour or more to drain, the drainage is poor.  It's difficult to change the natural drainage of the soil, as factors such as slope of the land and sun play a large role. Planting crocuses in pots outdoors can help you create a better drainage environment, if needed.
A: Schedule planting in the fall 6-8 weeks before a hard frost is expected. Buy crocus bulbs from a garden center or nursery. Choose a planting location with at least 3-6 hours of direct sun. Select a planting location where the soil drains well.
