INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Star naming services do not actually provide officially-recognized star names.  Since you will not actually own the star, you should think carefully about how much the novelty factor of “buying” the star is worth to you. Since the star-naming processes available to the public confer no official naming rights, you might choose to forego the star-selling service altogether.  It's easy to name a random star yourself and print out a certificate of ownership on your home computer.  You'd save money and still get the joy of possessing or giving a certificate bearing a star name of your choosing. Depending on the star-selling service you select, you could buy an entire star system, a binary star (two stars orbiting one another), or a star confirmed to have an orbiting planet in addition to naming just a single star.  Each will be offered at different prices. There are many different types of stars in the universe, including (but not limited to) red dwarfs, red giants, blue giants, and neutron stars.  Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in our galaxy.  They are red and cool.  Neutron stars are born from supernova explosions and have extremely fast rates of rotation.  Red giants are huge dying stars with temperatures only about half as hot as the sun.  Blue giants are rare but extremely bright, on average 60,000 times brighter than the sun. Try to match the qualities of the person you are purchasing the star for to an appropriate star.  For instance, if someone's favorite color is red, you might want to buy them a red giant or red dwarf.  Alternately, you might buy a star located in the zodiac sign corresponding to the individual's birth month. There are a growing number of star-selling services available, including the International Star Registry, Name a Star, and Online Star Registry.  Each offers unique packages and products when you name your star.  The level of quality each service provides varies.  Research your chosen service thoroughly before moving forward. Businesses dominate the star-selling marketplace.  Pale Blue Dot, however, is one star-selling service operated as a nonprofit.  Proceeds go to fund scientific research, though your star will still not be officially renamed.

SUMMARY: Ask yourself how much you're willing to spend. Decide what you want to buy. Think about what kind of star you want. Consider the person you are naming the star for. Select your service.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This plant originates from the tropics, so temperatures need to be kept consistently warm for the tree to survive. The temperature can drop below 50 °F (10 °C) for short amounts of time, but try to avoid exposing it to regular drops in temperature lower than 50 °F (10 °C).  Ficus benjamina can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 9 and above. A ficus can be grown outdoors as long as there is no risk of frost in your climate. Don't keep your ficus next to a window, door, air vent, or radiator, or else it will go through drastic temperature changes. An area with bright, indirect sunlight is the best place to keep a ficus.  Ficuses do not tolerate being moved once they have settled in a location. Even a slight change in the climate or location can cause leaves to drop. Humidity is just as important as temperature and light for a ficus. If the humidity falls below 40 percent, the tree will drop leaves. To maintain humidity, place a saucer with 1⁄8 inch (3.2 mm) of room temperature water underneath the ficus's pot. The water will evaporate and increase the humidity. Refill the saucer when water is fully evaporated.   Keep a humidifier in the room to raise the humidity. Misting the leaves during the summer months will also help increase the humidity around your plant.

SUMMARY: Keep temperatures between 65 to 75 °F (18 to 24 °C). Provide indirect sunlight for your ficus. Maintain the area at a humidity above 40 percent.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keep an eye out, and see if this person is rude or seems bored with everyone they interact with. It might not be you at all, but just how they behave with everyone. If someone has only met you once, or doesn’t usually act like they don’t like you, it’s probably nothing. Everyone has bad days, and bad days can make people grumpy and act mean. In order to be sure someone hates you, you should pay attention to how they behave over the long run rather than focusing on one or two individual events. Especially if the person you’re thinking about isn’t someone who knows you well, they might not be aware that what they are doing or saying is very upsetting to you. Some people have a great deal of difficulty understanding social cues, and may not understand your negative reaction to their behavior. Similarly, many people’s mouths are sometimes ahead of their brains, and this causes them to often say things which they later regret. An indicator of either of these is that they say hurtful things to many people. This isn’t a sign of hatred for you, it’s a sign that they have a social difficulty. If you've heard that someone hates you from someone else, consider how accurate their information might be. Ask them why they think the person hates you, and consider the reliability of their reasons. If they are known for gossiping and spreading discord, consider whether they might be telling you this to provoke excitement or whether they are trying to make things easier for everyone. If the person you think hates you acts mean only when you do something specific, consider that it might be your behavior and not you that they hate. Some things that might irritate or anger people are:  Certain topics of conversation Language or symbols they might find offensive Humor that they might consider inappropriate Requests that they do or change something How you interact with others, especially their close friends or significant others Level of physical intimacy – for example, many people hug everyone they know, and others reserve this for a select few. They may be uncomfortable with how often or little you touch them.

SUMMARY:
Don’t take things personally. Look for trends. Don’t confuse thoughtlessness for hatred. Pay attention to sources. Watch your own behavior.
