Problem: Article: There are several types of polishes, but cream polishes work best to moisturize and add shine to your boots. Find a leather cream polish in the same color as your boot or a neutral polish that isn’t colored.  Only cowboy boots with a finish should be polished. Don’t polish suede, naked or nude finished leather, patent or microsuede leather. The advantage of using a colored polish is that it can restore color to faded boots. Just like with the conditioner, add a dollop of polish to a clean white cloth and rub it into your boots. Add another thin layer if you want more shine. Follow the directions on the package to either wipe away excess polish or let it set into the boot. Don’t wear the boots until they're dry to the touch.
Summary: Find a cream polish the same color as your boots. Add a thin layer of polish to your boots. Clean off the polish.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pre-emergent herbicides act by forming a chemical layer at the surface of the soil. As crabgrass seeds germinate, they take in the herbicide, which prevents them from sprouting and ultimately kills them. This should coincide with the blooming of the forsythia. Buy an inexpensive soil thermometer if you don't know when to time your herbicide application. Always apply the herbicide along with a starter fertilizer. Fertilizer helps thicken the turf, which in turn snuffs out crabgrass seeds that weren't killed by the fertilizer. Apply a starter fertilizer along with your herbicide and you're getting more bang for your buck. As small as the print is, you will find valuable information on time of application and safety precautions. Look for herbicides that use the following active ingredients: dithiopyr, prodiamine or pendimethalin. The herbicide that you use to snuff out unwanted crabgrass is the same stuff that will lay waste to the soft, pretty grass you actually want to cultivate. That means you have to seed during one season and use herbicide during another: Seed during the early fall and use herbicide during the spring, making sure to keep a buffer of at least 50 days in between. These will kill your grass as well so only use if you have more crabgrass than lawn or thick patches of it.

SUMMARY: Prevent crabgrass from growing in the first place with pre-emergent herbicides. Apply pre-emergent herbicides in the late winter/early spring when soil temperatures stabilize at 55°F at a depth of 4". When using herbicides, be sure to read the label carefully. Reseed or use the herbicide, but never both. Apply post-emergent herbicides in the summer, if you see crabgrass.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can’t do everything perfectly, which means you’re going to get constructive feedback every once in a while. This is how each of us learns and builds our career skills. So when you do get constructive feedback, try to take it with a positive attitude. Keep in mind that not everyone’s great at their feedback delivery, so don’t take it personally if it comes out blunt and seems a tad insensitive. Instead, just focus on the part that you can learn from. If a boss sets out a plan of action and you can rise to the occasion and meet it––well, how many ways can you say “raise” and “promotion”? At the end of the day, however, you know what matters even more than raises and promotions: the feeling of doing meaningful work in a team that fosters your talents and being appreciated and valued for the good work you do. Focus most on how you can do your part in the equation and see the world rise up to meet you.
Summary: Be positive. Keep it meaningful.

Whether you are making a homemade trap or purchasing one, make sure that you are using one that is humane. You don't want to risk injuring the kitten that you are working so hard to rescue. (You also want to make sure not to injure yourself--no one wants to get their finger caught in a trap). One of the best ways to safely trap a kitten is to use food to bait the kitten into the trap. Canned fish is an effective and inexpensive food item that you could try.  A humane trap is one that will not injure or kill the kitten. If you are going to purchase a trap, ask a local vet for suggestions on which brand to buy. Try shopping at your local pet store or hardware store. If you plan to make a trap, make sure you research ones that will neither harm nor kill the kitten. Use a trap door that will close gently but quickly and firmly after the kitten enters the trap. Ask for tips about materials at your neighborhood hardware store. Don't try to trap the kitten the first time you stop it. Instead, prepare your trap, and spend a few days placing food in there--while leaving the door of the cage open. That way, the kitten will begin to head into the trap willingly after it begins to associate it with food. Above all, you want to be as kind as possible to the kitten. Remember, it doesn't have much experience with humans. Being caught is going to be a pretty traumatic experience. Be as quiet, calm, and gentle when you are near the kitten. Catching a kitten can be a frustrating experience. You will need to be patient, not only with the kitten but with yourself. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to carry out your plan. Remember, it's best to learn some information about the kitten (age, the status of the mom) so that alone is going to take some time. After doing that, try taking a break before you start the actual trapping process. The more relaxed and confident you are, the more smoothly the whole process will go. If you are nervous about using a trap, don't worry, you have some other options. You can try gently "herding" a kitten into a confined space. Use the same method you would use if you were trying to tempt the kitten into a trap--food. Once you have the kitten corralled in a confined space (think a corner where it doesn't have an easy escape route), you can gently guide the kitten into a small pet carrier. Make sure to have a carrier (or even a box with a lid) handy before you try this method. It is possible that you won't have to lure or trap the kitten. If you can invest enough time and patience in the process, you might be able to befriend the animal enough that you can easily transport it home with you. In order to gain the kitten's trust, be a reliable force in its life. Feed it regularly, and at the same time for several days. Be calm and gentle in its presence. After enough time has passed (this could be days or weeks), the kitten might gradually come to accept your presence without fear.

One-sentence summary -- Use a trap. Be compassionate. Take a break. Lure the kitten into a confined space. Earn the kitten's trust.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is often apparent when makeup has expired, as it often dries out and/or becomes clumpy. When this happens, the makeup will not apply as smoothly. Be sure to dispose of makeup that changes texture, as it can affect the quality of your skin due to the breakdown of the chemicals and the bacteria that grows. If you have noticed a change of color in your makeup, dispose of that particular item. Over time, the product can break down and separate, causing it to change color. When this happens, it is not likely that it will apply smoothly anyway, so you should be inclined to get rid of it. Any makeup that has an odd smell should be an immediate red flag. An unusual smell generally indicates that the chemical composition of the product has changed and that it has expired. Periodically sniff your makeup to ensure that it does not have an unusual smell. If it does, toss it immediately.
Summary:
Toss makeup that has changed texture. Do not keep makeup that has changed color. Throw out makeup that has an odd smell.
