In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It can be a little scary to express who you are most of the time. Don’t be afraid to dress how you like or talk how you normally do at home. Speak up when you have an opinion on something. Being comfortable with who you are will show others that you are honest and confident. There’s a difference between having a strong opinion on something and arguing with others. Always try to be nice, even if you disagree with someone. People should like you for who you are. If someone doesn't want to hang out with you, then move on. They may not be the right friend for you. Besides, pretending to be something you aren’t will get exhausting! If people try to pressure you into doing something that you don’t want to do, be firm when you say no. People should respect your boundaries. You’re at summer camp to meet new people and try new things, but above all else, you’re there to have fun! Having fun will not only reduce any stress you have about becoming popular, but will improve your chances of becoming popular in the first place. If you look like you’re enjoying yourself, others will want to have fun with you!  Try to relax! It’s hard to enjoy yourself if you’re paying attention to every little thing that you do.  Choose to spend your time how you want to spend it. If you waste your time doing things you don’t want to do, you’ll end up crabby and miserable. People enjoy being around people that are happy!
Summary: Express who you are and be as honest as possible. Don’t change who you are to fit in with a crowd. Have fun by relaxing and not worrying about becoming popular.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fleshing the hide is the process of scraping off the flesh and fat, which prevents the hide from rotting. Place the hide on a fleshing beam (a beam designed to hold the hide in place as you work) or on a tarp on the ground. Use a fleshing blade to scrape off all visible traces of flesh and fat using quick, strong strokes.  Flesh the hide immediately after cutting the hide from the animal's body. If you wait more than a few hours, the hide will begin to decompose, and it will fall apart during the tanning process. Be careful not to damage the hide as you scrape. Don't use a knife not intended to be used for fleshing, since it might puncture or scratch the hide. After fleshing, immediately lay the hide in the shade on a tarp and cover it with three to five pounds of salt. Make sure it is completely coated.  Over the course of a couple of weeks, continue salting the hide until it has become crispy. If you see a pool of liquid emerge from an area of the hide, cover it with more salt. Tanning solution is made from a combination of household ingredients and chemicals you'll need to source elsewhere. Gather the following ingredients:  2 gallons (7.6 L) water 1 1/2 gallons (7.6 L) bran flake water (Make this by boiling 1 1/2 gallons of water and pouring it over a pound of bran flakes. Let the mixture sit for one hour, then strain and reserve the water.) 8 cups salt (not iodized) 1 1/4 cups battery acid 1 box baking soda 2 large trash cans 1 large stick, for stirring and moving hides Begin by soaking the hide in clean water until it is soft and pliable, so it will absorb the tanning chemicals more easily. When the hide is ready to tan, peel off its dried inner skin. Then take the following steps to tan the hide:  Put the salt in a trash can and pour 2 gallons (7.6 L) of boiling water inside. Add the bran flake water and stir until the salt has completely dissolved. Add the battery acid. Make sure you wear gloves and take other precautions to prevent getting burned. Put the hide in the trash can, punching it down with the stick to make sure it is completely covered in liquid. Let it soak for 40 minutes. Fill the second trash can with clean water while the hide is soaking in the tanning solution. After 40 minutes have passed, use the stick to move the hide from the tanning solution to the clean water. Swish it around to wash off the solution. When the water looks dirty, pour it out, refill it with clean water, and wash the hide for another 5 minutes.  If you plan to use the hide to make clothing, add a box of baking soda to the rinse to neutralize the remaining acid. This will prevent the acid from harming people's skin. If you don't plan to use the hide to make clothing, you can forgo the box of baking soda, since in neutralizing the acid it lessens the acid's effectiveness in preserving the hide. Remove the hide from the rinse and hang over a beam to drain. Swab it with neat foot oil to condition the skin. Hang the hide on a stretcher or hide dryer to finish the process. Place it in a place out of the sun to dry.  After a few days the hide should feel dry and flexible. Take it down from the rack and go over the skin side with a wire brush until it has a suede-like appearance.  Let the hide finish drying until it is fully dry, which should take a few more days.
Summary: Flesh the hide. Salt the hide. Gather tanning equipment. Tan the hide. Wash the hide. Drain and oil the hide. Stretch the hide.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The best time to deadhead or prune mums you are growing outside is during the late spring up to mid summer. This is right before blooming season, so the flowers have time to branch off from the cut stems. Deadheading during the warm season also makes it less likely that the vulnerable cut areas will be exposed to cold temperatures.  If you are growing your mums in a greenhouse or indoors, you can deadhead them as soon as you see dead growths since the mums won’t be exposed to cold weather. When it’s time to deadhead your mums, inspect the plant to find the flowers or branches that are spent. Most mum blooms are orange or yellow in color when healthy, and brown when dead or dying. They also are likely drier than the other healthy flowers of the plant, often with a papery and brittle texture to their petals. If your mum plant only has a few dead blooms, you can simply pull off the browned flowers with your fingers. To do this, grip the stem of the mum right under the dead flower, then simply pinch and snap off the dead bloom. If you are growing your mum indoors or in a greenhouse, this method is probably best for you since you can continuously deadhead throughout the year and don’t have to worry about exposing your mum to cold temperatures. If many of the blooms of your mum plant are dead, but the stalks appear to be alive and are growing buds, use a pair of garden shears to clip multiple flowers off at a time. Angle the shears right under the dead blooms and clip, taking off the blooms from a whole section of the plant. Repeat until you have taken off all the dead blooms. If most or all of the blooms and stalks on your mum plant are dead, you’ll need to use a pair of gardening shears to deadhead your plant. As soon as you see new green growth from your mum plant emerging from the ground, take a sharp pair of gardening shears and clip all of the dead sections of plant as close to the ground as you can. This will eliminate not only the dead flowers, but also the dead stems of the mum plant so that it can start anew.  You may feel nervous about cutting off so much of the plant. However, if your mum is a perennial plant that went through a winter season, it’s necessary not only to cut off the flower but also the dead stems. Make sure that if you are doing a major deadheading that you do it during spring or early summer. This will give the new growths of the plant time to grow fully before blooming season in the fall. Once your mums flower in the fall, you may be tempted to deadhead any dead flowers you see among the healthy blossoms. Resist this temptation if you are growing outdoor plants in a region that has a cold winter season, as clipping back flowers right before cold weather will leave your plant vulnerable.
Summary:
Deadhead mums in late spring to mid summer. Find blooms that are wilted or dead. Pull off dead blooms with your fingers. Clip off bunches of dead flowers with shears. Shear at the bottom of the stem for major deadheading. Don’t prune outdoor mums after they flower.
