Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select light-loving plants if you plan to put them in full sun. Opt for shade plants to put in spots that don’t get much sunlight. Provide the right amount of space for your plants.

Answer: The best location where you’ll keep the pot depends on the type of plants you purchase. Keep plants with tags labelled “full-sun” in outdoor sun-soaked spots and indoor areas by windows.  If you have a spot for the pot in mind, observe the area before purchasing your plants. Make sure it gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. If it doesn’t, go for a plant marked for shade or partial sun. Full-sun options include most flowering plants, such as petunias, geraniums, salvias, true lilies, canna lilies, and lilacs. Other sun-loving plants include those that bear fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Most herbs, including basil, lavender, and thyme, also require lots of sun. When you’re at the nursery or home improvement store, check for plant tags marked “shade-tolerant” or “moderate sun.” This means the plants need around 3 hours of sunlight or less per day.  Good flowering options include begonias, impatiens, crocuses, periwinkle, lilies of the valley, and some tulips. Ajuga and coleus are shade tolerant and produce attractive leaves in a range of colors. While they grow best with moderate sun, spider and snake plants tolerate low light levels. They're popular houseplants and require little maintenance. Shrubs, like hibiscus, fuchsia, and bougainvillea, and plants that bear fruits and vegetables typically need lots of room to grow. Go for containers that are at least 1 to 2 feet (30 to 61 cm) deep and hold at least 5 to 10 gallons (19 to 38 L) of soil.  Plants like rubber trees, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots usually do best on their own. They have large root systems and consume lots of nutrients. Plants with more modest root systems, like pansies, dusty millers, daisies, ajugas, creeping Jenny, and succulents, do well with other plants. To allow room for growth, space them about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) apart, or according to the instructions on their tags.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine what pattern you want. Dye a stripe design. Dye a bullseye design. Dye a spiral design. Dye multiple donut-shapes.

Answer: You’ve seen all types of tie dye patterns – some may have swirls, whereas others have boxes, and even others have lines.  Every pattern is achieved by manipulating the fabric in a particular way. There are hundreds of designs that you can perfect with some imagination and practice. Fold your fabric in short layers to form a tube, and then put rubber bands around the tube at intervals.  Each fold creates a new line in the pattern.  The rubber bands will create a line that spans the length of the fabric, as it is wrapped around everything and will prevent the dye from reaching the fabric. Pick your fabric up in the middle and twist, forming a band or a twisted tube.  Place rubber bands around the twisted fabric band at intervals.  The twists will create a swirled bullseye, while the rubber bands will separate the colors. Pick your fabric up in the middle and twist, but form a disk instead of a band.  Place rubber bands around the disk as if you were portioning it into six, ten, or even fourteen equal parts. This spiral design will appear to be turning in the direction that you twisted the fabric. Pick up small, random portions of your fabric and twist, forming small pillars.  Secure with rubber bands and even place one or two rubber bands up each pillar.  This technique is busy, but it allows you the opportunity to work with several color combinations and have more than one focal point in your fabric.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply flea treatments to older cats. Wash anything the kitten uses. Clean your environment. Watch your kitten for signs of fleas. Consider using pest control products.

Answer: If you have any cats in your home that are old enough for medical flea treatments, apply them to help protect your kitten.  By making it impossible for fleas to infest your older cats, your kitten will be less likely to suffer from fleas again.  Cats under 6 weeks of age cannot receive chemical treatments for fleas. Cats aged 14 weeks and older, or which are 2 lbs, may take Comfortis for fleas. Talk with your veterinarian to learn which flea medications might be appropriate for your cat. Fleas can wait and hide on any object your kitten used, such as bedding or fabric, and will return to your kitten if they are able.  Take away this possibility by throughly cleaning these items and killing any fleas that remain.  Wash your kitten's bedding on high heat to help kill any fleas that might be hiding. You may want to simply dispose of any old bedding or cloth toys. Because fleas are so small, they can easily hide in a number of places in your home.  Flea eggs can also lay dormant for a time and later hatch, potentially causing another round of bathing and flea removal for your kitten.  You will have to diligently clean these areas to make sure that there are no fleas left hiding in your home.  Vacuum all rugs and carpets in your home.  You may want to sprinkle borax on them before vacuuming. Wash all of your own sheets, blankets and pillows.  Fleas can hide in fabric and will need to be removed. If the environment isn't cleaned properly, your cat will likely become infested again. After removing the fleas from your kitten and keeping the environment free of fleas, you will need to monitor your kitten for any new infestations.  As you play with your kitten, take a moment to look around its fur for any returning fleas or signs of their bites.  Constant scratching may be a sign that your kitten has fleas. Excessive grooming can be another indication that your kitten is suffering from fleas. Run your flea comb through your kitten's fur occasionally.  Drop anything that was collected onto white paper.  If you notice small, black specks, this can indicate the presence of fleas. If your flea infestation is particularly bad or proving difficult to manage, you may want to use insecticides in your home.  These kill fleas and their larvae, preventing further trouble from the ones currently living in your house.  Some pest control methods can be quite disruptive, such as a "fogger", so make sure it is necessary before you use one.  Bring every person and all pets outside if you use a "fogger" or "bomb" type of pest control.  These products are toxic and can kill your pets if exposed directly to them. When looking for any pest control product, find one that is labeled as an "IGR".  This stands for insect growth regulator, and will make it impossible for the fleas in your home to reproduce. If you are using a spray bottle style pest control method, make sure to cover all carpets and rugs.  Remember to spray under furniture and rugs as well. Allow the house to fully ventilate and let the insecticide dry completely before letting your pets back into the targeted areas.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test your horse’s ability to move away from pressure. Train a turn on the haunch. Train a turn on the forehand. Combine your groundwork to accomplish a grounded side pass.

Answer:
The natural instinct of your horse should be to move away from where pressure is applied - the same instinct humans have. Test this reaction in your horse by bumping them with an open palm near the girth where you would bump them with your calf. They should move away from your hand, possibly already in a side pass.  Continue bumping your horse near the girth with added pressure if they do not respond to you. As soon as they take a step away, release pressure and reward them. Practice this until your horse needs only a single bump, or no bump at all (just pushing energy with your hand towards their girth), in order to move away from you. Put your horse on a lead rope, and if necessary grab a crop. Stand so that your body is positioned slightly behind the barrel of your horse’s body, and gesture with your arm or crop towards their shoulder. If they do not respond to this, then apply pressure on their shoulder. The goal is to get them to move away from your pressure by rotating their body around their back legs.  If your horse turns away or simply walks in the opposite direction rather than crossing their front legs in a turn, grab the lead rope and hold them straight ahead. As soon as your horse crosses their front legs in a turn on the haunch, release pressure, drop your eyes, and reward them for doing what you asked. Continue practicing a turn on the haunch on the ground, so that your horse will respond to the same cues when riding. Similar to a turn on the haunch, a turn on the forehand is done when your horse rotates their entire body around their front legs by crossing their back legs. Accomplish this by standing near the shoulder (to block shoulder/forward movement) and gesturing towards the haunch with your crop or open hands. If they don’t respond without pressure, add a bit by pushing against the haunch with your open hands, or tapping them with the crop.  Don’t remove pressure if your horse simply backs away or turns to the side. Straighten them out if necessary, but continue bumping with pressure until they take at least one step by crossing their legs. As soon as your horse achieves a single step in a turn on the forehand, release pressure and reward them for following your cues. Practice this over and over until your horse requires a  minimal amount of pressure to accomplish a turn on the forehand. Stand next to your horse near the barrel of their body, using a crop if necessary. Bump the girth of the horse to tell them to move away; if they don’t move how you want, give them the cues for a turn on the haunch and a turn on the forehand. Continue working back and forth between your cues until your horse clues in and does at least a single successful step in a side pass.  Reward your horse and release pressure as soon as they take even a single step in the form of a side pass. Continue doing this until they don’t need to be cued for a turn on the forehand and a turn on the haunch in order to recreate a side pass. Eventually they should only need to be bumped on their side near the girth.
