Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cover orchards or nest areas with netting. Thin trees in densely forested areas. Block any openings bigger than 1” wide. Install deterrent spikes on roosting areas. Install angled boards over ledges.

Answer: Netting that is too small for starlings to penetrate will prevent them from entering your orchard while still allowing sunlight and less invasive birds through.  The practicality of this approach may vary depending on the size of the area that you wish to cover. Maintaining the netting is important—holes may allow the starlings to get through. The areas may need to be covered only for a limited time.  Once the starlings move on to a new area, they may not try to return, or you may be able to continue prevention with less extreme measures. Starlings prefer to nest in areas where the trees are dense and close together.  For a long-term solution to deter the birds, consider thinning the trees on your property. Sometimes thick or commercial grade material such as metal flashing or industrial vent/chimney covers may be necessary. Metal spikes along ledges and other areas that starlings have started to roost will help drive starlings away to other areas. Boards or other materials set at a 45 degree incline along ledges and other roost areas will deter starlings due to the uncomfortable angle.  You may be able to remove the boards once the starlings have moved on to new territory.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Unplug the cord and inspect it for fraying or breaks. Use a damp cloth to wipe dust off the outside of the vacuum. Inspect all of the attachments and remove dirt or hair from them. Wipe down the hose and remove any dirt clogs.

Answer: Always unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance. Look at the entire cord for breaks in the plastic, exposed wire, or fraying. If you see any of these, don't use the vacuum because you could get shocked. If the cord is damaged, take the vacuum to a vacuum repair shop. They can inexpensively repair or replace the cord. If your vacuum is covered in dust or dirt, you'll spread it around your home as you vacuum and the dust could clog the machine's filters. Rub a damp cloth over the entire surface of the vacuum to remove built-up dirt. Ensure that you clean where pieces attach or connect. Removing dust and dirt from these areas can make a tighter seal so the vacuum works more efficiently. Take all of the attachments off of the vacuum and check them for cracks. Most vacuums come with a narrow extension wand, a dusting brush, a flat upholstery tool, and a power or turbo brush. Wipe dirt or dust from these attachments and pull away hair that might be tangled or stuck in them. For example, if hairs are caught in the turbo brush blade, take a pair of scissors and cut the hairs free from the bristles. Pull out the long stretchy hose and wipe the length of it with a damp cloth. Then, stretch it until it's straight and hold it down to the ground. Get down and look into it to see if the hose is clogged. If it is, take a bent wire or metal hanger and carefully insert it into the hose. Pull on the clog to loosen and remove it.  If the hose is clogged, you might notice a loss of suction when you vacuum. Use caution when you insert the wire into the hose since you don't want to accidentally puncture the hose.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Trim the ends off the celery, onions and carrots. Chop the celery stalks, carrots and onions into rough sections. Add the chopped fresh rosemary and fresh thyme. Fry the vegetables and spices for 10 minutes.

Answer: Peel the carrots. For a hearty stew, make sure they are about 1 inch (2.5cm) in size. Larger vegetables will keep their consistency better when heated.  Consider peeling and cubing four small potatoes if you want an even heartier stew. You could also use turnips, parsnips or rutabagas in place of potatoes.  Loosen the browned lamb bits from the bottom of the pan as you heat the vegetables.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Center the "Notes" title. Number your endnotes. Include brief yet important information in your notes.

Answer:
Do not italicize, bold, or underline this heading. If you inserted any notes into your document, the notes themselves should be included as endnotes that are listed on a separate page after the main body of the paper. Do not include them as footnotes, which are listed at the foot of each page as they appear. If you inserted your endnotes using an endnote tool on your word processor, the numbering should already be done for you.  Otherwise, make sure that each endnote is preceded by an Arabic number that corresponds to a number places in the section of the paper's body that relates to the information provided by the endnote. The first line of each endnote should be indented by 1/2 inch (1.25 cm). Endnotes should be used to discuss information that does not coherently fit into the paragraph it relates to. Your endnotes should not exceed three or four lines in lengths. Avoid long discussions. Endnotes are not the right time to bring up entirely new points.
