Q: If you are growing plants outside, but you have to wait for spring, grow your seeds inside. Seedlings take between 4 to 12 weeks to sprout. If you let them sprout inside and then transplant them into your garden, the plants will grow 4-6 weeks earlier than if you had waited to plant the seed directly into the flower bed.  Gather a small group of containers that are 2–4 inches (5.1–10 cm) deep that have drainage holes. Avoid fertilizers. Instead, use a mix of peat moss and vermiculite inside the container. Let the plants set outside in their containers for a few hours each day. Do this for at least two weeks before you transplant them into the flower bed. This will help them acclimate to direct sunlight. The best plants to transplant are tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and melons. Some plants, however, do not transplant well. These are zucchini, beans, beets, corn, spinach, turnips, and peas. Studies show that plants respond particularly well to being serenaded. When you are fertilizing the plant, talk or sing to the plant. Record your voice using a device such as a radio or tape recorder and play it to them while you're gone. This will help your plant grow faster.. Use a grow light if you are growing your plant indoors. The best grow lights are high-intensity discharge lights (HID). HID lights come in two types: metal halide (MH) and high-pressure sodium (HPS). MH bulbs cast the strongest light in the blue end of the spectrum, which causes a compact, leafy growth. HPS bulbs last longer than MH bulbs and produce light at the red/orange end of the spectrum. MH bulbs cause a flowering growth. Coffee grounds help plants grow faster because of their caffeine. If you drink coffee, put the grounds in your plant instead of throwing them away. The grounds are rich in nitrogen, which is a key nutrient in a plants diet. There have also been studies that suggest that caffeine helps the plant grow faster.
A: Grow seedlings inside. Talk to your plants. Give it light. Use coffee grounds.

Article: Take a hot shower and let the water wash over your face for five minutes. You’ll open up your pores and soften whiskers, making shaving much easier. You may also wrap a hot towel around your face like barbers do for their customers. Soak a small towel in hot water and hold it firmly against your face until the towel cools. Dump out the water in your mug or bowl. Replace it with nickel-sized dollop of shaving cream or the entire soap cake. Soaps are the cheaper option and are made with a high fat, vegetable oil glycerine mixture. Creams are similar to soaps and you should look for ones with natural essential oils like jojoba or coconut oil. Avoid common shaving gels and foams. Although you can use these, they won’t give you as good of a shave as quality soaps and creams.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Hydrate your face with hot water. Place shaving cream or soap on the bottom of your shaving mug.

Problem: Article: According to a famous group of studies known as the Harlow Studies, monkeys preferred a cloth doll without food to a metal doll with food, emphasizing the need for mammals to have physical contact. Many studies have shown that babies that are held more are less stressed as adults. Hugging a loved one or even a stranger releases a powerful hormone that affects the body's limbic system. Releasing oxytocin promotes feelings of contentment and belonging, while lowering blood pressure and heart rate. Giving and receiving hugs have a number of psychological and physical benefits, including:  Lower blood pressure. Reduction of stress. Feeling of belonging and euphoria. Increased dopamine, a hormone that stabilizes mood. Enhanced immune system. Sense of security.
Summary: Understand the importance of physical contact. Realize that hugging produces oxytocin. Learn the benefits of hugging.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stress can have physical effects on your cat because his or her immune system is already weak. When an animal is stressed, its body releases a natural steroid—cortisol—in order to help the body cope with the stress. Long term exposure to cortisol suppresses the immune system and, in a cat that already has a weakened immune system, this will decrease his or her limited ability to fight infection.: Change can really stress a cat out, from having a new pet around to moving to a new house. Try to keep your cat’s environment as normal as possible. Don't forget to continue to play with your cat. Give it toys and spend quality time with it as usual. You don't want to exhaust a cat with FIV but you do want to continue to enjoy the company of your pet. You can purchase diffusers that emit feline pheromones that will keep your cat calm. Vets recommend Feliway, which contains a synthetic version of the pheromone (a hormone messenger) that a contented cat gives off. Feliway is odorless to people, but to cats it sends of a reassuring message that all is well with the world.

SUMMARY: Minimize the amount of stress your cat feels. Keep your cat’s routine the same. Use a plug-in diffuser.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It can be hurtful to watch your best friend frequently lie for no apparent reason. Instead of lashing out in anger, show compassion for them and tell them that you're concerned. Let them know that you don't want to deal with dishonesty, and ask them if they feel like they can be honest with you. You might say, "Carly, I've noticed that your lying is getting worse. I'm really concerned. Do you want to talk to me about it?" Let them know you know about their lying. If you don't confront it directly, it may just get worse. If your friend lies compulsively, one option for dealing with their lying is taking away your attention. Don't ask questions. Don't make any remark of any kind. Simply stare at them with a blank face. Perhaps, by doing this, they'll get the picture--that you're not falling for their lies--and stop lying so often. If you get the sense that your friend is regularly keeping things from you, you may need to reevaluate confiding in them. Take a step back and refrain from giving your friend intimate information about you if they aren't returning the favor. Let your friend know that you will be happy to open up more when they are ready to reciprocate. Some people who lie are unable to control it. Pathological liars may need professional help dealing with the problem. If you suspect your friend lies without even thinking, it may be a good idea to confide in someone who can help.  Consider talking to your parents, your friend's parents, a teacher, or other trusted adult. See if this person has noticed your friend's lying problem. Put your head together with this person to determine the best course of action for helping your friend. They may need to see a professional  mental health counselor to understand what's at the root of their lying. If you have witnessed the destructive consequences of your friend's lying, use examples to convince them to get help. For instance, you might say, "You've gotten fired from two jobs in the past month due to your lying. It hurts to see you this way. It will make me feel so much better if you saw a counselor."
Summary: Express your concern. Avoid engaging them. Limit what you share. Talk to someone you trust.
