INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Constructive criticism improves a person's behavior, encouraging positive changes. Whereas destructive criticism condemns and discourages the person.  Destructive criticism demeans, discredits and hurts people. In contrast, constructive criticism improves a specific behavior without personal attacks.Their self-esteem remains intact. Your reason for critiquing someone's work or behavior affects how you deliver feedback. If you have an ulterior motive besides wanting to help the person improve, thats come across as overtly negative. Reflect on whether the criticism you intend to impart will actually be productive.  Good intentions do not always get a positive response. For example, if your friend has gained a lot of weight since you last saw each other, telling her she should lose weight for her health's sake probably won't fall on receptive ears and, in fact, she may feel hurt. Criticizing is one of those domains where intentions are less important than what you actually say and do. Instead of acting on impulse, be thoughtful and ask yourself how it would sound if you told this person what you’re thinking. Are the words you choose appropriate? What about the underlying social politics? What about yourself? For example, if you want to criticize your friend about her weight and you're naturally thin, think about how she may feel to receive this feedback from you, someone who has never struggled to lose weight nor experienced weight-based discrimination. If someone requests feedback and is willing to change, then constructive criticism is warranted. Ask yourself if the person would be better off receiving constructive criticism. Would it have a positive impact on their life? Unsolicited criticism could be hurtful. If the issue is relatively minor, such as a situation where you don't like your friend's wardrobe because she wears too much pink and you want to tell her, it may best not to say anything...unless you feel this situation is disadvantageous to or hurting her in some way. It's important to use criticism as a means to help another person, not to help yourself or have your own opinions heard. If you are in a position of authority or someone has explicitly asked you for feedback, it's acceptable to give constructive criticism. For example, if you run a business and it's time for your quarterly check-in with employees, you need to assess your employees' work and discuss strategies for improvement if you think there's room for growth. It's important to choose a peaceful time and place to deliver your critique alone because receiving any criticism in front of others is stressful. For example, it would be a bad idea to give performance reviews for each person in front of their coworkers and colleagues at a staff meeting.  Schedule a time to meet with the person. Arrange to meet in a private, non-threatening space, like an office. Allow sufficient time for the meeting so that there is room for dialogue in case the person has questions and would like to respond to your feedback. It's important not to rush these meetings so that the other person will feel valued and respected, not dumped on and dismissed. The environment where you talk should feel neutral and pleasant. If you're speaking with a loved one, it may be helpful to get out of the house to take a walk together, or go for a drive to a place you both like. If you're speaking with a colleague or student, meet in a conference room or another neutral space where you can get some privacy.

SUMMARY: Note the difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism. Good intentions. Is the criticism warranted? Determine whether you are the right person to criticize. Choose the time and place.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Trailing varieties of Lantana are pretty robust and will tolerate drought but do need plenty of light. They will tolerate a small amount of shade for some of the day but you’ll see them grow leggy (with long stems rather than compact bushy growth) and produce fewer blooms if they aren’t getting enough sun and water. You can encourage bushy growth to make good ground cover by pinching the plant back. To do this, remove the stem tips just above where each stem branches into two stems. This will encourage more side branches to form. Although Trailing Lantana tolerates drought, it will bloom better if it doesn’t get too dry. Water once or twice a week during dry periods. Removing spent flowers will encourage new ones to form so don’t be shy about trimming the bush during the growing season. You should try to trim just above a leaf set. Every few years the Trailing Lantana may get a little too woody and overgrown. A vigorous prune to within a foot of the base will usually rejuvenate the plant. Do this over the dormant season in winter or early spring.
Summary: Give your trailing Lantana lots of light. Don’t let your trailing Lantana get too dry. Trim your Lantana. Prune your Trailing Lantana.

Position the blade of the razor where the caulk meets the glass. Apply pressure to the razor and begin scraping off the caulk. Be careful when using the razor, so you don't scratch the glass or cut yourself. Set the hot air gun to a high heat setting and point the nozzle at the trouble area. After a few moments, test the area with the scraper to see if it has softened enough for you to continue. Scrape until the majority of the sealant is gone. If you don't have a hot air gun, a hair dryer on the highest setting will work just as well. Dip the sponge in the rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits and gently wipe the glass.  If there are still large bits of caulk, try applying heat again and go back to scrapping. After all the sealant is removed, dip a cloth in rubbing alcohol to get rid of any cloudiness on the glass.

One-sentence summary -- Use the razor to begin scraping the sealant off the glass surface. Apply heat with a hot air gun if the silicone does not come off easily with the razor. Remove any leftover sealant with the rubbing alcohol and sponge.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wash each quince in cool water. Stem and core the fruit and cut each one into chunks. Leave the peel intact. Place the pieces in a large soup pot or stew pot. Add enough water to cover all of the pieces by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook the quinces for 45 minutes or so, until the pieces are soft.  To test whether the quince pieces are done, poke them with a fork. If the fork slides in easily, the quince is ready. Overcooking the quince will affect the flavor, so make sure it is simmering, not boiling, as it cooks. Use a potato masher to mash the quince into pulp, leaving no large lumps. The mashed quince should be slightly runny, like loose applesauce. Add a little water if it seems too thick. Set out a large bowl. Place a mesh strainer over it, and cover the strainer with a large piece of cheesecloth. Pour the quince pulp into the cloth-covered strainer. The juice will begin to run into to the bowl, while the pulp stays in the cloth. Let the pulp strain for about 4 hours.  Check the juice in the bowl every so often. You should end up with 4 to 5 cups after a 3 to 4 hours; if it doesn't seem as though you're getting enough juice, mix some water into the pulp and continue letting it drain. Use the back of a wooden spoon or a spatula to press the pulp when the straining time is nearing an end, to extract the last drops of juice.

SUMMARY:
Prepare the quince for cooking. Cook the quince . Mash the quince. Strain the quince.
