Q: Monitor the amount of water your dog drinks daily.  If you notice any big changes in this amount, take note.  Drinking too much or too little can indicate a problem that requires veterinary attention.  Rule out everyday reasons such as strenuous play or a hot day. If you notice your dog drinking much more than normal for a consecutive week, see your vet. Changes in appetite, especially those that lead to weight loss or gain, can indicate illness.Unexpected weight loss or gain should always be met with a trip to the vet.  In the short term, loss of appetite for your dog can be a sign of fever, pain, or stress, as well as many other possible reasons. If the loss of appetite is combined with any other noticeable symptoms,  you should see a vet immediately. Vomiting or diarrhea is a reason for concern with your dog. These symptoms can be a sign of anything from swallowing a sharp object to ulcers to parasites.  Single instances of vomiting or diarrhea are not necessarily a cause for concern. Repeated instances,especially lasting more than twenty-four hours,require a vet.  Blood, in either vomit or diarrhea, can be a serious symptom and needs treatment as soon as possible.
A: Watch for excessive drinking. Track your dog’s appetite. Pay special attention to digestive upsets.

Article: Roses that are left tall may be damaged by heavy winds and frosts during the winter. Trim the canes down to 2 feet (0.6 m). Tie them together with twine, to help protect them from inclement weather. Heap a mound of compost around the base of the bush, then top it with a layer of straw. When the weather warms to above 51 degrees, remove the compost mound. These mites are quite common among most of the rose varieties. Using water is the most effective way to get rid of these pests. Use the hose to spray them away when you see them on your rose plants. Keeping the roses adequately watered also helps reduce pest infestations.  Use insecticides sparingly. They can end up harming your roses and other plants in your garden, and kill bugs that are actually helping your plants. Remove leaves that look discolored and shriveled. If mites continue to be a problem, try making a solution of dish soap and water and spraying that on the rose leaves once a week.  You can buy natural rosemary oil pesticide to spray on the leaves; this discourages mites without killing beneficial insects. Choosing varieties that are resistant to these common diseases, such as knockout roses, is your best bet. You can also protect your roses by using a fungicide at the beginning of the season. Go to your local nursery to ask about how to best protect plants from these diseases in your region.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Protect the roses over the winter. Spray aphids and  spider mites off with water. Protect your roses from  black spot and  powdery mildew.

Problem: Article: Article 6 of your constitution should provide the rules on elections, appointment procedures, and removal of members. This article should also provide the rules on interim appointments or elections in the case of a mid-term vacancy.  Section 1 of Article 6 can say, for example:  “Organizational elections must take place at least once per year.” This section should also provide the general rules on elections, whereas more specific election rules can be written in the organization’s bylaws. The general rules on elections may include, for example, rules on voting procedure. You can write, for example: "The winners of the elections for representatives shall be determined by plurality vote. No student, however, shall be elected as class representative unless he or she receives the vote of ten percent (10%) of the class from which he or she was elected."  Section 2 of Article 6 should provide the general appointment procedures for appointing officers, whereas more specific appointment procedures can be written in the bylaws.  Section 3 of Article 6 can say, for example:  “The members of the Board may be impeached and removed (enter grounds for impeachment and removal and enter impeachment and removal procedures).”  Section 4 of Article 6 can say, for example:  “In the event of a mid-term vacancy of an elected officer…” followed by the procedure for electing an interim or permanent replacement officer. Article 7 of your constitution should provide the names of committees, the duties of each committee, the rules on selection and removal of committee members, and the procedures for formation and dissolution of committees.  Section 1 of Article 7 can say, for example: “The standing committees of this organization shall be…” followed by a list of all standing committees. Note: a standing committee is a permanent committee whose purpose is to consider all matters that relate to a particular subject. Section 2 of Article 7 can say, for example:  “The duties of each of these standing committees shall be…” followed by a list of the duties.  Section 3 of Article 7 should provide the rules on how committee members will be selected and removed.  Section 4 of Article 7 can say, for example:  “Additional committees may be formed and dissolved by the organization…” followed by the procedures for adding and removing committees. Article 8 of your constitution should provide the rules on how the organization’s and executive board’s bylaws will be created and amended and who has the power to do so. Note: Bylaws are rules that an organization adopts to govern its internal operations and its dealings with others. These rules are intended to complement the constitution. Bylaws can be detailed rules that cannot be covered in detail in the constitution itself.  Section 1 of Article 8 can say, for example: “Bylaws of the organization shall be established and amended by…” followed by the procedures for creating and amending the organization’s bylaws.  Section 2 of Article 8 can say, for example: “Bylaws of the Board shall be established and amended by…” followed by the procedures for amending and creating bylaws of the executive board.  Bylaws should not contradict anything in the Constitution. Generally, bylaws contain detailed provisions on such topics as membership, dues, duties of officers, the Board, committees, order of business, amendment procedures, and other specific policies and procedures necessary for the organization or its operation.
Summary: Write the rules on elections, appointments, and removal of officers. Write the rules on committees. Provide for the creation of bylaws.

Q: Search online for “cigarette recycling” sites. There are a few options out there, such as TerraCycle. You will need to create a free account before you can ship the cigarettes. A few cities now offer recycling programs of their own. Check with your local government and trash disposal service to see if this is an option. First, get a cardboard box from an office supply store or ground shipping company. Fold and tape the bottom end to prepare the box. Once the filters are loaded into a durable plastic bag or container, tie the bag shut and set it in the box. Make sure the bag is tied tightly. If it is wet or leaking, the shipping company may reject it.. Fold the box’s flaps shut, making sure the bag fits firmly inside the box. When you’re done, tape all the way around each fold. Pick up the box to make sure the top and bottom hold tight and won’t open in transit. You have to get a shipping label from the website you signed up for earlier. Return to the website and indicate that you have a package to ship. They will email you a pre-paid label. Print the label, place it on the box, and tape it down.  You will need to get a unique label from the recycling service for each shipment. The label usually goes on top of the box. Consult the shipping company’s rules to clear up any confusion. Take the box to a shipping center or call the shipping company to come retrieve the box. The recycling company will tell you what shipper to contact, which can be seen on their website and on the shipping label. Follow the recycling company’s instructions in order to avoid shipping costs.  For example, TerraCycle will have you call 1-800-PICK-UPS and tell UPS you have a package with a prepaid return shipping label.  You can send the filters through your own shipping account or by using your own label, but you will have to cover the shipping charges.
A:
Join a recycling site online. Place the cigarette-filled plastic bag in a box. Seal the box with masking tape. Print and affix a shipping label to the box. Ship the box to the recycling company.
