Article: By now, your branches may be too thick for pruning shears, so a fine-toothed saw ought to do the trick.  Cut as close to the base of the trunk or branch as possible. If you leave a stub, it may harbor pests and diseases. Consider pruning the small shoots at the ends of the branches as well. This will give you bigger, tastier pomegranates! This is something that you should be doing throughout your tree's lifespan. Suckers and water sprouts will appear the most in the summer, but if you see them at other times during the year, it wouldn't hurt to prune them off. Incoming suckers and sprouts will always be thin, regardless of the tree's age, so a pair of pruning shears will do the trick. You can allow the tree to grow taller, but it will be harder to harvest it. This is because most of the fruit grows on the top of the tree. You can easily reach the fruit on a 10 to 12 ft (3.0 to 3.7 m) tall tree with a 9 ft (2.7 m) tall ladder. Most pomegranate trees will reach about 10 to 12 feet (3.0 to 3.7 m), but some varieties may grow taller. In this case, trim the branches shorter. Your pomegranate will bear lots of fruit, but there may come a time when you have to pick-and-choose which branches to keep and which branches to prune.  Cut the branches as close to collar as possible. The collar is the raised ring between the trunk and the branch. If you keep all of the branches, you'll be preventing the healthy ones from getting as much energy as they could. If the tree is still very young, you only need to trim the first 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm). If the tree is older, then it would be better to cut 12 to 24 inches (30 to 61 cm) instead. This will help expose the new wood, which will encourage more growth. Think ahead when pruning in the winter and use your best judgement. If a branch is long and close to the ground, give it a gentle pull. If it touches the ground, prune it shorter. If the fruit touches the ground, it may rot or get contaminated.

Remove dead, diseased, or crisscrossing branches in the winter. Prune away suckers and water sprouts in the summer. Keep the tree around 10 to 12 feet (3.0 to 3.7 m) tall. Prune away branches that don't bear good quality fruit. Trim the tips of the branches to encourage new growth. Make sure that the fruit does not weigh the branches to the ground.
Article: Use a sharp kitchen knife to slice both eel filets into pieces for frying. Leave the skin on the eel. If the filets still have the head and tail attached, cut these parts off and discard them. Placed the sliced eel pieces into a colander, and rinse them off in your kitchen sink. Rinse the eel under cold water from the tap. Lightly toss the eel while you’re rinsing it to ensure that it’s fully rinsed. In a large mixing bowl, combine 50 grams (1.8 oz) of corn flower and 100 grams (3.5 oz) of white flower. Both types of flour will be available at your local grocery store. Pick up the eel pieces individually and set each one in the bowl of flour. Use your fingers to roll the eel chunk over in the flour mixture until all sides are fully coated. After rolling a piece of eel in the flour mixture, set it aside on a clean bowl or plate until you’re ready to start frying. Also pull out a lid for the skillet. You’ll want to keep the eel covered while it’s frying, so that hot peanut oil doesn’t splatter. You can purchase peanut oil at a local supermarket. Since eel is a delicate meat, high heat will cause the filet pieces to burn. To keep the heat low, set the burner to 3 or 4. Place the floured eel pieces into the oil, and use a fork or tongs to turn them over every 2 or 3 minutes. Remember to replace the lid on the skillet after every time you flip the eel pieces. The eel will be cooked through inside after 10 minutes. Paper towels will absorb extra peanut oil that may still be on the eel pieces. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.  Once the eels have cooled, sprinkle them to taste with salt and serve immediately. Store leftover fried eel in an airtight plastic container. Keep it chilled in your refrigerator.

Cut the filets into 6 cm (2.4 in) chunks. Rinse the eel chunks under cold water. Combine the two types of flour. Roll the eel filet chunks in the flour mixture. Pour 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) of peanut oil into a large skillet. Fry the eels over low heat for 10 minutes. Place the fried eels on paper towels to cool.
Article: If you are new to e-cigarettes, you may want to start with an e-cigarette kit, which can be purchased online. Many light to medium smokers go for a rechargeable starter kit, instead of a disposable one, as the e-cigarette can be used many times and is more cost-effective.  An e-cigarette starter kit will contain a rechargeable battery, a charger, and a nicotine liquid cartridge. The nicotine liquid can come in a variety of flavors and different levels of nicotine. If you are a smoker who is trying to quit, you may go for a low level of nicotine and a flavor you enjoy tasting in your mouth to limit your nicotine intake. You can get a starter kit with several different flavor cartridges so you can try different flavors and find the ones you enjoy. Most e-cigarette starter kits cost about $40-$100. Consider investing a kit with a higher price point if you plan to smoke every day or at least several times a week. Going for a cheap kit may mean lower quality and poor flavor choices. Because your e-cigarette runs on lithium batteries, it is important that you fully charge the battery before using it. Many e-cigarettes will come with the battery partly or fully charged. Make sure the battery is ready to go by placing it in the charger and waiting for the charged signal or light to come on.  Most batteries for e-cigarettes are rechargeable and can last up to 250-300 uses. Batteries often last longer when they are recharged and used regularly. Avoid placing the batteries in direct sunlight and heat. Do not get them wet or drop them often against a hard surface, as this will significantly reduce their lifespan. Try to charge the battery before it is completely drained and always store your batteries fully charged. Storing the batteries with less than 50% charge left can drain their use in the long term. Once the battery is fully charged for the e-cigarette, take it off of the charger. Then, take the liquid cartridge and screw it into the slot on the e-cigarette. Your e-cigarette may come with pre-filled liquid cartridges, or you may buy e-liquid that you can then drop into the liquid cartridge. Pay attention to the liquid in the cartridge so you can note when the liquid cartridge is close to running out and requires changing. If you are planning on being a regular e-cigarette user, you may want to keep several extra liquid cartridges on hand for easy replacement.

Buy an e-cigarette kit. Charge the battery for the e-cigarette. Screw in the liquid cartridge.
