In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: How often you should water your herbs will depend on if they are dry or wet herbs. Dry herbs should be watered so that the soil is damp, and then the soil should be allowed to dry completely before the next watering. Wet herbs should have soil around them that is constantly moist. Check the soil by picking a bit up and running it through your fingers. If your fingers don't feel moist, it's time to water again.  Dry herbs include rosemary oregano, marjoram, sage, lavender, thyme, and tarragon. Wet herbs include basil, mint, cilantro, dill, arugula, and chives. Once your herbs have reached 6 in (15 cm) tall, you can start harvesting them. Use a pair of gardening scissors and cut off about 1/3 of the plant. Cutting near a leaf intersection will encourage quicker new growth. You can harvest annual herbs gradually by picking a few leaves at a time, or you can harvest all the leaves at once if you plan to use them up quickly or dry them for later use. When the growing season for perennial herbs is over in the early fall, you'll need to prune them. This prevents your herbs from getting too woody (as opposed to leafy) and encourages new growth in the spring. Cut away about 1/3 of the growth in the fall. Common perennial herbs include rosemary, oregano, marjoram, thyme, sage, chives, lavender, lemon verbena, mint, and tarragon. Different herbs will attract (and repel) different types of insects. The exact type of herb and insect will influence the treatment, but most pests can be taken care of with insecticidal soap or an organic insecticide.
Summary: Water your herbs according to type. Harvest the plant after it's grown to at least 6 in (15 cm). Prune perennial herbs every fall. Treat your herbs for insects.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Rotator cuff tears should always be seen by a doctor first. How you treat your shoulder will depend on the severity of the injury. Make an appointment with your doctor the moment you suspect injury or notice chronic pain in your shoulder area. Your doctor can assess the level of the tear, and let you know if conservative treatments such as rest and physical therapy will be enough to restore normal mobility. Severe or complete tears often require surgery or steroid treatment. Your doctor may use x-rays and other tests to see if surgery or other medical treatments will be necessary. While your tear is healing, rest your shoulder as much as possible. Avoid heavy lifting and rapidly extending your arm or raising it too high. Allow your arm to hang naturally, or use a sling if the weight of your arm is too much. Let your shoulder rest for as long as your doctor recommends before resuming regular physical activity. The length of recovery may depend on the severity of the injury. Start small once you resume normal physical activity. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about appropriate activities as you heal. Use a commercial ice pack or a zipper lock bag filled with ice cubes. Wrap your ice pack in a clean cloth or rag, and hold it over your rotator cuff for 15-20 minutes to help mitigate any pain and swelling that you may experience. Ice your shoulder as needed throughout the day to help manage pain and inflammation. Wait at least 30 minutes between icings to avoid complications due to the cold. Take over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and naproxen to help manage pain and soreness while your shoulder heals. Use the medication as recommended by your doctor, or based on the dosage information on the packaging.
Summary: Make a doctor's appointment. Rest your shoulder. Ice your shoulder for 15-20 minutes to control your pain. Use over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications to manage pain.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start by finding a quiet area in your house where you can address your sister in private. This may be in a room you share together or in your sister’s room. Making the apology in a private, quiet space will show your sister that you are serious about your apology and want to discuss the matter away from others.  Try to make your heartfelt apology in person, face to face. Texting or emailing an apology can seem disingenuous and may not hold as much of an emotional impact as an in person apology. You should also choose a time that is most convenient for your older sister. Do not try to apologize to her when she is in a rush and on her way out or when she is hanging out with friends at home. Choose a time where she is alone and can focus on your apology. Begin your apology by noting that you hurt your sister and that you want to address her hurt feelings. Do not use “if” or “but” when you speak to your sister. Be honest and acknowledge that your sister is upset. For example, you may say, “I understand that your feelings may have been hurt when I read your diary without asking for your permission,” or you may say, “I realize that I made you upset when I said unkind things to you in front of your friends.” You should then be willing to admit that you acted poorly or that you were in the wrong. Taking responsibility for your actions will show your sister that you realize you behaved badly and want to make amends for your behavior towards her.  Avoid mentioning your sibling’s own behavior and do not try to blame your sister or make her feel bad. You are apologizing for your actions, not putting your sister on trial for her actions. Blaming her will only make her more upset. You may say, “I know that I acted badly when I read your diary” or “I can see now that my unkind words toward you were hurtful and unfair.” You may also say, “I was mad at you but I should not have taken my anger out on you.” Make sure you own up to your actions by using “I” statements in your apology. This will show your sister that you are standing by your words and willing to acknowledge that you acted poorly towards her.  You should say “sorry” once to your sister, with intention and feeling. Avoid saying “sorry” multiple times as it may sound hollow or empty after you say it once. Maintain eye contact with her when you make your apology. This will let her know you are serious and genuine. For example, you may say, “I’m sorry for what I did to you,” or “I apologize for being hurtful and unfair toward you.” Do not expect your sister to forgive you right away. She may accept your apology but still be upset at you, or she may not respond at all to your apology. Your sister may need time to process her anger and will accept your apology when she is ready.  Keep in mind your sister is not obligated to accept your apology right away, or at all. You should be respectful toward her and give her time to forgive you. If your sister responds to your apology with feedback or comments about your behavior, you should listen to it without judgement. Be willing to listen to what she has to say and use this feedback to improve your behavior towards her in the future. Do not retaliate or get upset if she responds to your apology with comments or feedback.
Summary:
Find a quiet, private setting. Acknowledge your sister’s feelings. Take responsibility for your actions. Use “I” statements in your apology. Give your sister time to accept your apology.
