Q: Interventions do not always work, as the person must be motivated to change. If your loved one isn't ready, then no amount of pushing will make them stop drinking. However, the intervention will show them that people care about them and that there will be consequences for their actions. Set clear expectations and consequences for their actions. For example, "If you don't go to treatment, I'm going to stay with my sister." If your loved one seems resistant to the idea of getting treatment for their drinking problem, you might have to consult with an addiction specialist who can help facilitate an intervention. This person has experience working with alcoholics and can help you and other loved ones figure out how to move forward.  Contact a local mental health or addiction clinic to find a professional interventionist in your community. It's often best to go to family therapy while the person is involved in treatment. The family therapist could also help run the intervention, which could help avoid making the person feel attacked. To initiate recovery, your loved one will need to detox from alcohol under supervised medical care. Research programs in your area and have brochures available to show them during the intervention. Depending on the extent of their problem, they might choose from inpatient or outpatient programs that provide medical care to flush alcohol from their system and support their body during withdrawal. Reach out to other close friends and family who are concerned about the person's drinking. Tell them that you are thinking of hosting an intervention and would like them to be a part of the intervention team.  Choose people who have a significant impact on the person. The goal is to address the person’s motivation for change, therefore, choosing people who are close to the individual and whose opinions matter to the individual will be most effective. Choosing people peripherally involved in the person’s life could backfire and create hostility between you and the person you are trying to help. Have the addiction specialist walk everyone through how the meeting will go. You might also request that everyone prepare a statement to share during the meeting. Ask the person to meet with you at a specified date, time, and location. Only the key people on the intervention team should be present during the meeting.  The meeting might take place in the office of the interventionist or at someone's home. Make sure the person is sober. Tell the alcoholic why you brought them to the meeting ("...because we are concerned about your drinking."). Then, go around the room having everyone share how the alcoholic's drinking has affected them. Each person should use compassionate, motivating language, not accusatory remarks.  Express how their behavior affects you, then set a boundary in connection to that behavior. For example, you might tell them that receiving overnight calls makes it hard for you to function the next day, so your phone will be turned off during sleeping hours. Someone might say, "I got a call at 4 am saying you were in the hospital and it tore me apart. I just knew you weren't going to make it, but you did. I love you and I don't want that to happen again. You have so much potential. Please get help." Avoid whining or attacking the person. Instead, focus on what is most important to you. For example, if the loved one is a parent of a teenager, the teenager could remind the parent that they said being supportive at the teen’s events was an important way to show love. The teenager can then tell the loved one that they missed important events and the teenager feels like alcohol is more important than they are. Explain what you want them to do and what you're ready to do to help them. Provide them with clear-cut expectations so that there are no surprises or miscommunication. Clearly indicate what you want and how you will determine progress. For example, you may state the person needs to go to treatment of their choice and engage in mutual aid groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or SMART Recovery. Tell the person that you want them to agree to treatment and present the information you found on different treatment programs. Let them know that if they refuse treatment there will be consequences. For example, if you are their parent, a consequence might be to cut them off financially. If you are trying to help a loved one overcome alcoholism, you will need to modify how you relate to them.  Set strong boundaries in which you no longer lend out money, take over their responsibilities, bail them out of jail, or cover for them with their spouse or job.  You might say something like, “Tim, I love you, but I will not lend you any more money. When you are ready to stop drinking, I am here to support you.” If its your spouse, you might say, "Honey, I'm not going to call in to your work anymore. If you are hungover, you'll have to call them yourself."
A: Set realistic expectations for the intervention. Consider hiring a professional. Identify treatment programs in your area. Gather supportive loved ones. Plan a face-to-face meeting. Take turns expressing your concerns. Tell them your expectations. Communicate the consequences of not getting help. Recognize and stop enabling so they can face the consequences of drinking.

Article: The simplest, most direct way to kill a wasp is to smack it with a flyswatter. Wait until the wasp lands on a surface to rest. Swat it when it's motionless and continue to do so until it's dead. Only use a swatter if you are trying to get rid of one wasp or a small group in a concentrated area. Don't attempt to swat wasps if you have slow reflexes or haven't practiced swatting, as you are likely to get stung when the wasp flies away and tries to defend itself. Turn on the vacuum and place it about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) from the wasps. After you have vacuumed all the wasps, suck up 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of cornstarch to incapacitate them. Open the vacuum canister while it is still running, tape the opening of the bag, and then turn the vacuum off. Remove the bag and put it in a freezer overnight before throwing it away.  Choose a vacuum that has a removable bag. Vacuum wasps as spring arrives, right when they start coming out of hibernation. They tend to be slow and sluggish, making it easier to catch them and sweep them away. Flowers, food, and drinks can all attract wasps. Move flowers to the far side of your yard and be sure to clean up all food and drinks. At the end of the summer, wasps are most attracted to sugary drinks and foods. At the beginning and middle of the summer, they are more drawn to meat. Cover your food with resealable silicone lids, and avoid plastic and cling film.  Move potted flowers away from your house and avoid using sweet or floral perfumes, shampoos, lotions, or soaps. Do not let food linger outside, especially in the heat.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Swat wasps using a flyswatter. Suck the wasps up using a powerful lightweight vacuum. Hide appealing food sources.

Q: Begin blowing softly through the bundle while gently squeezing the tinder around the coal. As more tinder catches, you might have to turn and/or reshape it to keep the ember spreading into more and more of the tinder. Blowing will provide more oxygen to stoke the fire and transfer the energy from the coal to the tinder bundle. Continue blowing and gently squeezing with the tinder bundle until you get actual flames. Put it on the ground where you want your fire. Keep blowing if you need to keep the flames going. Add the toothpick size sticks on top of the bundle, then the pencil sized sticks, followed by increasingly bigger items until you have your campfire.  If you have prepared a teepee-type fire put the burning tinder bundle into the center. Keep blowing slowly and steadily to help spread the fire.
A:
Blow through the tinder bundle. Build your fire.
