Problem: Article: Soap-based insecticides have to be sprayed directly onto the insects in order to work, and this usually means spraying the leaves. Spraying the leaves on a hot day or in the middle of the day can cause the leaves to burn. The best time of day to apply the spray is in the early morning or late evening. Soap can damage or kill some plants, and you shouldn’t use soap-based insecticides on these varieties. In particular, plants to avoid include:  Sweet peas Cherries Plums Portulaca Certain tomato varieties To make sure that the soap spray won’t damage your plants, it’s important to test a small area before applying the solution liberally. Pick a few leaves that are infested with bugs and spray the top and bottom of the leaves to coat the insects. Leave the spray for 2 days and then check the leaves for damage.  If the leaves were damaged by the spray, dilute the solution and test it again. If the leaves are healthy, apply the spray to larger areas. Most soap-based insecticides use a 2 percent soap solution. For plants that reacted badly or were damaged by the soap, try reducing the soap concentration to 1 percent. To make this concentration from scratch, combine 4 cups (940 ml) of water with 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of liquid soap. You can also add 4 cups (940 ml) of water to a pre-made batch of 2 percent soap solution. Identify leaves and plants that are infested with bugs and spray the solution on the top and bottom of the leaves. The spray must come into contact with the insects directly, otherwise it won’t work. Spray the stems and soil if necessary. Leave the spray on the leaves for a few hours. After a few hours, take a garden hose or spray bottle with plain water and spray the leaves you treated. This will wash off the excess soap solution and help prevent injury to the plants. Because the spray must come into contact with the insects to work, you may need to apply the spray multiple times. Spray the affected plants daily for 4 to 7 days, or until the pests are dead. If you find you still have bugs after a week, try the mixture with a different soap, or use a commercial insecticide instead.
Summary: Spray plants in the morning or evening. Avoid spraying plants that are sensitive to soap. Test the spray on a few leaves. Dilute the soap concentration if necessary. Apply the spray liberally to the insects. Rinse the leaves with water. Repeat as needed for up to a week.

Problem: Article: Verbosity also includes a certain measure of pomposity in the execution. If you want to be counted as a verbose speaker or writer, it helps to get lost in the deep water of an overblown (and mixed) metaphor. Every molehill should not only be a mountain, but a mountain on which hordes of philandering demon spawn forth fortnightly. If you want to run on for a long time, make sure you stitch your prose together ever tighter with gapless precision. In other words, don’t let anyone get a word in edgewise.  Learn to anticipate the ends of your own sentences and start the next sentence before taking a breath. Hook a reader in with a transitional phrase at the end of a long paragraph that will force us to read on, even if we’re bored to tears. Better yet, eschew paragraphing entirely and give no rest for the weary. The long-winded know one thing to be true: “Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur” (Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound). Memorize a few good Latin phrases and insert these whenever you can.  Mix in some French or Italian, overemphasizing the pronunciation, and you'll be pretentious in four languages. Rather than saying, "He makes a habit of using arcane references", try "His modus operandi seems to be obscurum per obscurius" to give your volubility a bit of international flavor. If you have a question as to whether or not the floor is yours, it is. Take control of every conversation and don't let go of the talking stick until you've chattered everyone else into submission. Quell dissent like Ross Perot used to: constantly referring to how often you yourself are interrupted. "Can I finish? Can I get a word in please?" Ignore body language and other nonverbal clues that indicate someone else would like to speak. Keep your gaze focused off in the middle-distance as you recount the sea-faring voyages of your childhood. Ignore the snores at the table around you.
Summary: Use heavy-handed metaphors. Leave no streams in the torrent of words. Sprinkle your prose with phrases from multiple languages. Interrupt other speakers.

Problem: Article: Be aware that light bulbs are very fragile. Thus, you don't want to just toss them haphazardly in your garbage can. If the bulb breaks, the shards can cut someone.  Wrap the old bulb in the new bulb's package before throwing it away.  You could also wrap the old bulb in a newspaper or old magazine. Throw the bulb away in places that children can't reach. Make sure to recycle the bulb if possible or required in your area.
Summary: Get rid of the bulb safely.

Problem: Article: When administering an IM injection, the penetrative action of the needle creates a narrow channel, or track, within the tissues. It may be possible for the medication to leak out of the body through this track. Applying the Z-track technique reduces skin irritation and allows for effective absorption by sealing the medication in the muscle tissue.  Firmly hold to keep the skin and subcutaneous tissue in place. Pull back on the plunger slightly to check for blood return, then slowly push to inject the medication. This allows the medication to evenly disperse into the tissue. A zigzag path is created that closes off the track left by the needle and keeps the medication inside the muscle tissue. As a result, patients should experience less discomfort and lesions at the injection site. Do not massage the site as this can cause the medication to leak, as well as irritation.
Summary:
Understand the advantages of the Z-track method. Repeat the steps of hand-washing, filling the syringe, and choosing and cleaning the injection site. Pull the skin taut 1 inch (2.5 cm) laterally to the side with your non-dominant hand. Insert the needle at a 90° angle into the muscle layer with your dominant hand. Keep the needle in place for 10 seconds. Withdraw the needle in a swift motion and release the skin.
