In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No matter what is in the background, you actual image will look great with soft lighting. Soft lighting is where shadow transitions are soft, where there aren’t strong shadows on your face or objects around you.  Think about a candlelit room or mood lighting for a romantic dinner, where warm soft light is found all around you. The best places to find soft light are in open shade, where the light isn’t shining directly on you. This could be on the side of a building or house. Up lighting, or hard light, can be harsh and highlight undesirable features like wrinkles and baggy eyes. If possible, try not to have anything directly behind you so you remain the focus of the photo. Solid colors or simple wall patterns are ideal, but make sure you stand out against them. If you are at a party, step away from the crowd and snap your photo. Go it alone because it is your profile picture so it should be all about you. If you are in a group photo, try to place yourself in the center. The world is filled with natural frames such as alleyways, mountain ranges, trees, doorways, even people! Put these objects around the edge of the photo so you become the main subject. This will make you the main point of interest. Divide your image into 9 equal sections by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Position yourself and or other important images in your scene along these lines or the intersections. This will add balance and interest to your photo.  If you are taking a picture with a object or monument, this is an aesthetically pleasing rule to use. Symmetry is very eye catching.
Summary: Good lighting is key. Have a clear background. Find a good frame. Use the Rule of Thirds.

This will tell you the amount of time the pasta should be cooked for, and this will vary depending on the brand and shape/filling of the pasta. Standard cooking times:  Dried pasta: About 8 to 10 minutes. Fresh pasta: About 2 to 3 minutes. Filled pasta: About 12 minutes. Lasagna or cannelloni: About 25 to 45 minutes. Pasta needs the space to move around and will cook unevenly if in too cramped a space. Fill with a lot of water and ensure that it is boiling before adding the pasta. For each person, add about 75g or 3 ounces of pasta. A little extra can be added and if not eaten, can be reheated the next day or used to make a pasta salad. If it is long, such as spaghetti or linguine, drop one end into the boiling water, then gradually push down the rest of the pasta as it softens through cooking. This won't take long, and watch out for the hot water and your fingers! It should not be a mush. Test before it is due to be ready; it is better to be too early than too late. Drain the pasta and get it ready for serving.

One-sentence summary -- Read the label accompanying the package of dried pasta or purchased fresh pasta. Use a large saucepan to cook pasta. Add the pasta. Cook until it is al dente, meaning that it has some resistance when bitten. Take the saucepan off the heat.

Q: Talk to your parents and agree on a method for removing your leg hair if they’re concerned about the safety of shaving. Buy razors with nourishing strips and multiple blades to avoid cuts, or opt for waxing or a hair removal cream like Veet to avoid razors altogether. You can also opt for electrolysis or laser hair removal treatment later in life, but this is definitely an option to wait on till you are older and have enough money for the procedure. Make a deal with your parents that you’ll do all the research about the health and safety risks of shaving and show them that you understand how to prevent those risks before you can start. Let them know that you understand shaving can cause razor burn or bumps, nicks and cuts, and even skin infections or painful ingrown hairs, and that you should use sharp and clean razors with shaving cream or soap and water to prevent these problems. Allow your parents to give you a short shaving lesson either from them, an older sister, or a video. Make them feel more comfortable with you shaving by letting them control the information you get about doing it safely. You can even offer or agree to have your parents there with you while you shave the first couple of times. Consider sacrificing a little bit of privacy for what you want. If you haven’t started shaving your underarm hair, ask your parents if you can start doing that first. Get them comfortable with the idea that you’re shaving at all by doing it to a smaller area of the body, and then they should soon work up to the idea of you shaving your legs, too. If you do already shave your underarm hair, you can use this to show your parents that you are already mature enough to shave safely. Make the point that doing the same to your legs is really no different. Make an agreement with your parents to pay for any of the equipment you need to start shaving, like a razor and razor blades, shaving cream or gel, waxing strips, or hair removal cream. Save up your own money from an allowance or job for this.  Offer to pay either for the first round of supplies, or for all shaving products in the future. Make a payment plan with your parents if you need to pay them back for supplies by agreeing to a certain amount taken out of your allowance every week, for example. Start out by shaving your legs below the knees only if your parents are okay with just that. This is where hair is usually darkest and more noticeable anyway. Your parents might also ask you not to shave more than a certain number of times per week or something similar, which you should follow. If they won’t say yes right away, agree with your parents on a time when you can start shaving, or when you can bring up the issue again for them to reconsider. Show your parents that this means a lot to you by being patient and waiting until the agreed-upon time to ask again or get an answer. Schedule and write down a time that everyone agrees with so you won’t forget and can remind each other.
A: Use a method they’re okay with. Show that you know about health and safety. Agree to a tutorial. Start with other body hair. Offer to pay. Agree to shave part of your leg. Be willing to wait.

Problem: Article: Since the bulb of the lily would be difficult to plant in cold, hard soil, wait until after the last frost date before transferring it outdoors. Consult local nurseries or the Old Farmer's Almanac to find out the last frost date for your area. Take a shovel or trowel and dig a 6 in (15 cm) deep hole for each Easter lily you want to plant. The deep hole will give the plant space to develop its root system. If there are any wilting or dead flowers left on the Easter lily, pluck or trim them off. Place the plant into the hole. Avoid cutting off the stem and leaves of the lily until fall. Spread well-draining soil around the sides of the lily to fill in the hole. Mound soil around the stem of the plant and press down firmly to remove any pockets of air. Water the lily immediately after you plant it and water it thoroughly every day for at least 1 week. After a week, you can begin watering the plant every few days until the root system is established. Check the soil around the lily if your region is going through a dry period. Water the plant to keep the soil moist.
Summary:
Keep the Easter lily inside until the danger of frost has passed. Dig a 6 in (15 cm) deep hole. Cut off the old flowers and put the bulb into the hole. Fill in the hole around the plant with soil. Water the plant every day.
