Problem: Article: Once you’ve removed the shrimp’s tail, head, and shell, you need to clean the shrimp to make it presentable for eating.  To clean the shrimp, put the shrimp down on a cutting board. Take a paring knife, and run the knife’s blade along the back of the shrimp, in the middle of the shrimp’s back. Cut more deeply if you want to butterfly the shrimp. You do this by pulling the small gray vein out of the shrimp. You can use the tip of the knife to do this.  Make sure you don’t cut too deeply into the shrimp’s back.  The vein is the shrimp’s digestive tract. It looks like a string. Run the shrimp under cold water when you are done peeling and deveining it. Once you’ve peeled and deveined the shrimp, it’s time to cook and eat them! There are many recipes for cooking shrimp. Or you could eat it raw with cocktail sauce.  Try turning the shells, tails, and heads into stock. To do this, wash them off and then put them in a saucepan with cold water. You will want enough to cover them. Add peppercorns, a bay leaf or fresh parsley. Simmer uncovered about 15 minutes. Strain the shells out. Add the stock to a shrimp recipe to increase its flavor.  Remember that it doesn’t take shrimp very long to cook. In fact, shrimp can cook in as little as three minutes. You will know they are done when they appear pink.
Summary: Cut the shrimp down its back. Devein the shrimp. Cook the shrimp.

Problem: Article: You can purchase a variety of different camouflage online, at hunting stores, or in most sporting goods stores. Purchase a camo shirt, pants, gloves, hat, and jacket. This will help you blend in with your surroundings and can prevent you from scaring away ducks.  If you are hunting in an area with wheat stalks or dead grass, a lighter camo is perfect. If you are hunting in an area with a lot of foliage, plants, and bushes, a greener camo is ideal. Dark black or brown camo is best in wooded areas. Decoys are hollow plastic models that float in the water and resemble ducks. If you know what species of duck you’re hunting, get a decoy that’s the same species to attract them to your hunting site. If you’re unsure of what kind of ducks you’re hunting, mallard decoys will typically attract most species of ducks. You can purchase a duck call at a hunting or sporting goods store. Using certain calls will attract ducks to your location, making it easier for them to shoot. Duck call whistles are typically the easiest for first-time hunters to use because you can just blow in them and don’t have to make a specific noise when using them. 12-gauge shotguns are the standard for duck hunting. You’ll have to decide whether you want to purchase a semi-automatic or a pump-action model. Popular duck hunting guns include the Remington 870, Winchester Model 12, and Browning BPS.  Pump action shotguns require you to cock back the gun before every shot. 20-gauge shotguns are typically used by young hunters while 10-gauge shotguns are popular for goose hunting. Lead bullets are considered toxic and cannot be used to hunt ducks. Steel, bismuth, tungsten, and other non-toxic shells should always be used when duck hunting. 3-inch (7.6 cm) shots are the most common shell size that’s used when hunting ducks.  Try out different brands of shells and determine which ones you like using the best. Popular brands include the Hevi-Shot Speed Ball, Remington HyperSonic Steel, and Kent TealSteel. A sleeve will fit around your gun and will keep it clean while you’re walking around the hunting site. Dirt and debris can get in your gun and cause it to jam, making a gun sleeve necessary if you’re hunting in mud or dirt. Waders are water repellent overalls that will keep your body dry. If you're hunting over a lake, you'll have to wade out into the water to retrieve downed ducks. Boots will prevent your shoes and socks from getting wet. This is critical if you plan on hunting in the cold weather. You can typically purchase waders in a similar camo as the rest of your gear.
Summary: Wear camouflage that blends in with your surroundings. Purchase duck decoys. Buy a duck call for the species you plan to hunt. Buy a 12-gauge shotgun. Use a non-toxic ammunition. Purchase a sleeve for your gun. Buy high boots and waders so you can retrieve the ducks.

Problem: Article: Peppers that are having difficulty bearing fruit in warm weather may benefit from being spritzed with a combination of 1 quart water and 1 teaspoon Epsom salts. Another idea is to place a tablespoon of Epsom salts in the ground at the base of the pepper plant and cover the material over with dirt so that it can soak in. Should gardeners end up with fruits that are black at the ends, a condition known as blossom end rot, they will need to find a way to add more calcium to their soil. The simplest way to do this is by watering affected pepper plants with any milk that expires in the fridge. Small amounts of soured milk can be mixed up with water if there wouldn’t be enough to use on every plant. Aphids are a typical garden pest that can be removed temporarily by a hard spray of water. Organic gardeners may want to try these bugs with neem or pyrethrum based sprays. Repeated applications may be necessary as these garden menaces are especially hard to eradicate. Temperatures below 65° or above 95° can keep peppers from producing fruit. If it is just a minor cold spell or heat wave, they will resume production once it has passed. Keep in mind that cold temperatures are especially bad for the health of peppers. Those exposed to extremely chilly weather may not recover from the experience, so it may be advisable to bring them indoors until the temperatures have warmed back up.
Summary: Use Epsom salts to encourage the plant to bear fruit. Use calcium to deal with blossom end rot. Spray the plant with water or insecticides to get rid of aphids. Protect your plants from cold or hot temperatures.
