Problem: Article: Watch the ground ahead of you carefully. Try to avoid stepping on obvious sound “landmines” like twigs or fallen bark. Avoid dry grass and foliage which will crunch underfoot and make noise. Choose the clearest path to walk on – smooth, bare dirt is best. Mossy rocks also muffle the sound of your footsteps. Any time you are trying to be quiet, you should slow your pace and think about each step. Take three or four careful steps, then pause and regroup before continuing. If you rush through your steps, you will be far more likely to inadvertently make noise. Instead of spending your entire time in the forest seeing nothing but your feet, try looking ahead and planning where you want to take your next few steps. This way you can keep your head up, and see more of your surroundings. This method is sometimes called “fox walking.” Place the heel of your foot on the path ahead, then gently roll your foot down until the sole touches the ground. Avoid walking “flat-footed,” touching all surfaces of your foot to the ground at the same time – this will produce a much louder sound.  Soft-soled shoes or light boots will make the least amount of noise in the forest. Place your foot down on the outer edge first, then roll the rest of your sole down until it touches the ground. Slowly shift your weight onto your foot, listening for any crackling or crunching noises. If you hear anything, stop immediately and move your foot to a new position. Crouch low and bend your knees, then walk slowly and carefully with your body balanced low over your center of gravity. Walk slowly. Slow your pace and think about each step. Take three or four careful steps, then pause and regroup before continuing. Stand with your destination directly to the left of you. Take your right foot and swing it across the front of your left leg and quietly put it down. Then take your left leg and swing it to the left behind your right leg. You may be able to move quietly and quickly in this fashion. If you need to run in the forest, try to touch only the balls of your feet to the ground. This requires more strength and better balance than normal running, and can be quite tiring if practiced for long periods. When walking with a group, the quietest method is for everyone to walk at the same pace. If you are walking with a friend who is a fair distance ahead, you may need to adjust your timing. Because sound travels more slowly than light, you may see their foot touch down ever so slightly before it makes a sound.  Pay attention to the length of time that elapses, then use that same amount of time to adjust your own steps – put your own foot down a split second before theirs will touch the ground. By the time the sound reaches them, it will match the sound their own foot has made. Boots or shoes with light, flexible soles make the least amount of noise in the forest.
Summary: Look where you're going. Tread on live grass or bare dirt. Walk slowly. Map out your steps in advance. Walk heel-to-toe and bend at the knees. Try walking sideways if you need to move quickly. Run on the balls of your feet. Adjust for visual-aural delay.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you've got yellow-jackets or wasps that you need to get rid of, the swatting device you usually use for common houseflies is also perfectly usable for wasps and other pests that you might want to stun and get rid of. Cheap plastic flyswatters are perfectly useful in getting rid of wasps. Again, there's little reason to kill bees. If they're causing a problem, relocate the hive. Stand still in the general vicinity of the bee and track it. Wait for it to come close to you, with your swatter poised to strike. Wait until the bee lands before you move. It's usually a good idea to wait with the swatter raised and poised to swat. If you have to raise the swatter after the bee lands, it's probably going to scare it. Then it's usually too late. Stand as still as possible. Flex your wrist to swat the flyswatter forward and stun the bee. If done properly, you may not actually kill the bee, you'll just stun it. Scoop it onto a Don't swing at bees in the air. Swatting wildly in the air is a good way to anger a wasp and get yourself a nasty sting.

SUMMARY: Find a flyswatter. Locate the bee and wait for it to land. Swat quickly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The blade should be sharp and flush with the wall, with the blade facing down. Do not push the blade toward the wall, or you could damage the surface of the drywall. This method works well on plastic anchors, not metal ones. Rock the razor blade back and forth, to slowly cut through collar. Once the collar breaks off, discard it. Once the collar has been removed, you should be able to push the anchor through the wall without damaging it. Press a screwdriver into the hole where the anchor is held. It should fall out on the other side of the wall. Once the hole is clear you can proceed to patch it up, so no one will ever be able to know the anchor was there.
Summary: Push a single utility razor blade under the collar. Saw the collar off the anchor. Push the anchor through the wall with a screw driver.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you go straight from school to studying, you may feel burnt out and struggle to concentrate. Taking half an hour to prepare your mind and body for a study session can help you study more effectively.  Go for a short walk before beginning to study. Stretching by walking can help your body loosen up and clear your mind in preparation of studying.  If you're hungry, eat before studying but stick to a light snack or a small meal. Eating a heavy meal before studying can result in sleepiness. This can make it difficult to concentrate on studying. The mindset you have going into studying can affect the effectiveness of your study session. Work on fostering a positive mindset going into each study session.  Think positively when you study. Remind yourself that you are building new skills and abilities. Do not get discouraged if you struggle with something. Remind yourself you're studying because you need to improve so it's okay if you don't understand some material.  Do not engage in catastrophic or absolute thinking. Catastrophic thoughts include things like, "If I don't get this now, I never will." Absolute thoughts are things like, "I always do poorly on these exams." Instead, try to be realistic. Think to yourself, "I'm struggling with this information at the moment, but if I'm persistent I'm sure it will come to me."  Do not compare yourself to others. You're focused on doing well on this assignment for yourself. Other people's success or failure should not matter. Memory games, always known as mnemonic devices, are a means of remembering information by creating associations. They can be extremely helpful when it comes to smart studying.  Many people remember subjects by stringing words together to form sentences, the first letter of each word signifying part of a topic that requires memorization. For example, the sentence "Kings play cards on fat green stools" can be used to help remember the taxonomy ranking for animals: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.  Make sure you use mnemonic devices that are easy to remember. If you're creating your own mnemonic device, pick words and sentences that have personal meaning to you and that you will easily remember later. If you have notes, rewrite them. Rewriting the notes you have, changing the wording slightly, helps you actively engage with the material. You're not just repeating information but trying to explain it over and over again. This can help you process information and more easily remember it later on. Don't just copy out the material over and over again. Instead, try to condense it to the most basic points. Then, try to condense it again, until you have gotten to the most essential points.
Summary:
Prepare your body and mind before studying. Study with the right mindset. Use memory games. Rewrite your notes.
