Problem: Article: Look for particularly bulky sets of leaves and branches or branches that should be shortened, and follow these down to the main branch. You should be cutting as far down as you see greenery using pruning shears, making a cut at the base of a branch if possible.  To cut down as far as you see greenery, look at the branch and see where the leaves are growing on it. Only cut as far down as the greenery is growing. Overgrown boxwoods become super thick, not allowing light or air to reach the middle of the shrub, which results in an unhealthy plant. On boxwoods that have not been trimmed in several years, decrease the size of the shrub over many growing seasons. Only cut ⅓ of the total shrub so it stays healthy. This will help tame the shrub while also making the boxwood look better for the viewer. Use pruning shears to clip off stray taller branches so that the shrub is level and rounded. Many times, the stems sticking out will be new growth showing lighter green colored leaves. Instead of focusing on making the outer layer of the shrub look its best, pull aside the branches of the boxwood to look inside. Make sure you’re pruning branches that you can’t easily see as well as the ones that you can. If your boxwoods have grown an incredible amount and a simple pruning won’t suffice, get a pair of pruning loppers. Cut back the main limbs so that they’re at a reasonable height, and work on maintaining the rounded shape of the bush.  In this case, some of your branches may be leafless when you cut them back. Remember not to cut off more than one-third of the shrub each growing season. Pruning loppers have a longer handle and are great for more heavy-duty pruning.
Summary: Thin the plant to allow more light and air to reach the middle. Trim off branches that are sticking out above the shrub. Prune the whole plant, not just the tops that are easily accessible. Use loppers if the growth of your boxwoods are out of control.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some business or companies might have strict rules against any kind of fraternizing between co-workers. Consequences for doing so could even be termination, so make sure you know what the rules are before you pursue the girl at work. Sometimes, policies like these only exist if the co-workers are on different levels. For example, it might be against the rules for a supervisor to date or pursue his subordinates. Other times, there are no policies in place regarding workplace romance at all. Not only is that just bad form and pretty rude, you might end up in a sticky situation if the girls find out. If you want to flirt with or pursue a girl at work, stick to her only, and don’t throw pick up lines at every girl in the office. More often than not, gossip tends to circulate around workplaces. You don’t want to end up with a few ladies having bad things to say about you, and then everyone hearing about it. It could make your place of work a very unpleasant place to be. These kinds of relationships can cause a lot of friction in the workplace as they could possibly make other employees think there is favoritism happening. Make sure the girl you’re flirting with is at the same level as you in the company. Women are especially subjected to criticism when dating people in the workplace. Make sure you aren’t putting a female co-worker into a situation in which she could be negatively judged. If she reacts negatively to your gestures, joking, or singling out, take the hint and don’t push it any further. She might report unwanted attention to your boss, or things could simply get very awkward at work.  If she isn’t responding to your flirting, or if she shows signs of wanting you to stop, make sure you listen to your gut and don’t push things. If she feels harassed or threatened, she could file a sexual harassment complaint against you, or report you to a supervisor. If she seems uncomfortable or unreceptive when you flirt with her at work, talk to her after work. Apologize and explain yourself. You may find out that she was only shutting down your advances because you were at work. Read her signals and body language. If she shies away, or looks upset or irritated, back off. If things go sour with someone in the workplace, you might find yourself feeling uncomfortable and awkward at work. Office gossip might not end up in your favor, or being around the girl who turned down your advances might just feel awkward. Weigh the pros and cons of pursuing the girl at work before you do so. If the idea of things possibly going badly and resulting in an uncomfortable workplace doesn’t seem to outweigh the pros of pursuing the girl you like, then consider looking for someone outside of work.

SUMMARY: Understand the policies on workplace romance at your job. Avoid going after multiple girls at work. Avoid flirting with a superior, or someone below you. Understand that she might not want you to flirt with her. Realize that failed office relationships can lead to an unhappy workplace environment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first thing that each player does at the start of his or her turn is to draw a card from the pile. Cards cannot be taken from the discard pile. Only the face down cards may be drawn. When you draw a card, read what it says to do and follow the directions.  Some cards have special rules that allow you to split the move between two pawns, take the place of an opponent’s pawn, or move backwards. You need to draw either a 1 or 2 to make your first move. If you draw a card that will advance one or more of your pawns past another player’s pawns or past your own pawns, then you can jump over them. Do not move other players’ pawns if you jump them, just move to the space that your card allows you to go to. If you land on a space that is occupied by an opponent’s pawn, then you will need to bump it back to the START space. Two pawns can never occupy the same space in Sorry. If you draw a card that would move one of your pawns to a space you already own, you do not get to move that turn. Leave all of your pawns where they are and let the next player take his or her turn. If you land on a SLIDE triangle that is not the same color as the pawns you have chosen, then you get to slide to the circle at the end of the triangle. As you slide, bump any other pawns (including your pawns) back to the START space. If the triangle is the same color as your pawns, do not slide. Just stay put on the triangle and move as usual during your next turn. Each player has a SAFETY ZONE that is the same color as his or her pawns. If the card that you draw allows you to do so, you may move into your SAFETY ZONE. Doing so may protect you from losing the progress you have made with one of your pawns. On a subsequent turn, you can move your pawn back out of the SAFETY ZONE if the card allows you to do so. It is possible that you and your fellow players will draw all of the cards in the deck before the end of the game. If you do, then simply shuffle the deck and replace the cards face down on the card spot of the Sorry board. To win Sorry, you need to get all of your pawns to the home space. Getting your pawns home sounds simple, but it may take time because other players will bump you back to START. You also need to draw the exact number of spaces between a pawn and your home space in order to get there. The number cannot be higher than the amount of spaces between your pawn and the HOME space.
Summary:
Draw a card at the beginning of each turn. Jump over pawns that belong to you or to other players. Bump your opponents’ pawns if you land on an occupied space. Slide if you land on a SLIDE triangle. Observe the SAFETY ZONE. Shuffle the discard pile if you use up all of the cards before the game is over. Get all of your pawns to the HOME space to win the game.
