Q: If you don't have a plastic bag, try to find another container you can use, such as a plastic bowl or something similar. A paper bag won't work as it will fall apart in the water.  The reason for putting the bananas in a bag is so that the water you put the bananas in to defrost doesn't affect the flavor/texture of the bananas. This is particularly important if you peeled the bananas before you froze them. The peels can either be on or off for this process, but it's simpler just to leave them on.
A: Place the bananas in a plastic bag.

Article: Drain the remaining water out of the tank through a sieve into the sink. This will prevent any gravel from falling down the drain. Remove any decor that is in the tank as well. You can simply set it on top of the gravel in the sieve. Fold the gravel with your hand and shake it side to side to get the dirt, poo, and left over food out. Use your hands to do it really thoroughly. Use a soft scrubber to scrub the glass. Dry the decor well with a paper towel and put it to the side. Never use soap on anything in a fish tank, including the tank itself. The residue is likely to remain and hurt your betta. Place the gravel and plants back into the tank before you refill it. Then pour new water into the tank and condition it. Follow the directions on the package of conditioner to determine how much conditioner to put in your fish's tank.  Use a plastic spoon to stir the water, making sure that the conditioner is mixed into the new water thoroughly. Remember to reserve enough room for the original water that you took out of the tank. Pour the old water you reserved back into the tank once the new water has been conditioned. Stir it all together well. The tank water must be the same temperature as the water was before, and should be between 72 to 80 °F (22 to 27 °C). Your fish WILL die from stress if you change the temperature too quickly. Water coming to room temperature could take a while. Check the water after 24 hours using a thermometer to make sure the water temperature matches the ambient temperature in the room. If it is not room temperature, wait a few more hours and then check it again. Slowly put the cup (where you kept your betta) into the tank and tilt the cup a bit. Your betta will slowly come out of the cup by itself. Be gentle while you're doing this, as you might hurt it's fins. Keep an eye on the betta. Once you let it go, it'll soon start exploring the tank. Set your tank back to where it was and enjoy as it swims around observing everything!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Empty the tank. Run the gravel under warm water. Rinse the tank and decor with warm water. Refill the tank. Wait 24 to 48 hours for the water to settle and come to room temperature. Reintroduce the betta to its tank.

Problem: Article: Your accessories don't have to match the table exactly, but they should complement it. Try to stick with the same theme or type of materials when you choose your accessories.  For example, if you have a rustic-looking table - made mostly from wood with an unfinished look - choose rustic accessories. These might include a vase made to look like a wooden branch or natural-looking flowers. If your table is made mostly from metal, consider choosing a few accessories that are also metal, but with a slightly different finish. You don't need to go out and buy new accessories and decorations for your table. Choose personal accessories that already match the theme or look you're aiming for.  For example, if your favorite family photographs are in metal frames, use them to complement and decorate a metal end table. You can also stack up a few of your favorite books - just make sure you put them back after you read them so you don't lose your accessories! When you're choosing your accessories, keep in mind what you'll use the table for. If you're using the table to decorate your space, you can choose accessories that will take up most of the table. If you want the table to more functional, use fewer accessories.  For example, if you're using an end table to flank a larger piece of furniture, you can use more accessories. If you're placing the end tables near a sofa or chair to hold glasses, cups, or something else, use fewer accessories. You don't want your end tables to look out of place in the rest of the room. Make sure that the table accessories match your other décor.  For example, if your house has a country feel to it, white or wooden end tables that look slightly unfinished will go well with similarly rustic accessories. If your home is more modern, choose sleek end tables with simple accessories.
Summary: Decorate the table to complement its material. Include accessories with personal meaning. Consider what you'll use the table for. Match your table accessories to your other décor.

Q: . Rather than have 2-3 big meals, try having 5-6 meals with smaller portion sizes. This can help to prevent overwhelming your esophagus with a lot of food at once and make it easier for you to digest your food properly. For example, you may have a small portion of food in the morning and then several small meals during the day, rather than a set breakfast, lunch, and dinner with larger portions. Food with lots of pepper and other spices can make your symptoms worse. Acidic foods like tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, and lemons can also cause spasms. Try cutting these foods out of your diet to see if your symptoms improve. Acidic drinks like coffee can also make your spasms worse so you should avoid drinking these, if possible. Try not to prepare food that is very hot or very cold, as the extreme temperatures can make your symptoms worse. Eat food at room temperature to avoid aggravating your esophagus. These two habits can make your symptoms worse and cause spasms to occur. Try quitting smoking or reducing how many cigarettes you smoke a day. Limit yourself to one to two drinks a month to prevent making your spasms worse. Esophageal spasms can become worse at night and make it difficult for you to sleep. To stop them, raise the head of your bed by using blocks under your bed frame or by placing a foam wedge under your mattress.  Do not try adding extra pillows under your head when you sleep, as this is not an effective option unless you buy a special pillow. You can purchase a special pillow that keeps you elevated. However, raising the bed, or investing in a bed that you can raise up, is a better option. Wait two to three hours after you eat to lie down in bed, to give your body time to digest your food and prevent spasms or heartburn. Keep these areas unrestricted by wearing clothing that is loose and flowy, such as tops that cut low at the neck. Go for clothing in breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to prevent these areas from getting too hot or tight. Losing even 5 to 8 pounds (2.3 to 3.6 kg) can make your esophageal spasms less severe and reduce their frequency. Try adopting a healthy, balanced diet and following a meal plan. Go to a fitness class at your local gym or workout at home using video tutorials online. Try walking, jogging, or biking to work every day to lose weight. These exercises can be done at work or at home in a quiet, low lit area. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Try breathing in through your nose for a count of 5 and then exhaling through your nose for a count of 5. Do this for 2-5 minutes to help you relax and stay calm.
A:
Have several small meals throughout the day Avoid spicy, acidic foods. Have food at room temperature. Do not smoke or drink alcohol. Raise your bed 15 to 20 centimetres (5.9 to 7.9 in) to help you sleep. Avoid wearing tight clothing around your neck or abdominal area. Consider losing weight if you are overweight. Try deep breathing exercises to relax your esophagus.
