article: Bird of paradise seeds take up to a year to germinate, and young plants may not flower for seven years. It's much easier to buy a bird of paradise plant or cutting rather than to start the plant from seed, but if you have patience it can be done. Look for bird of paradise seeds or plants in your local garden nursery.  If you live in an area where the climate is conducive to growing bird of paradise outside, you may be able to find seeds and cuttings in more than one variety. If you live in a place with cold winters, where bird of paradise won't survive outside, you're more likely to find a mature bird of paradise that has already been potted as a houseplant. If you prefer to plant seeds, get fresh seeds, soak them in water for three days (changing the water daily), and plant them while they're still fresh. Bird of paradise requires a steady temperature between 50-72 degrees Fahrenheit (10-20 degrees Celsius). If the temperature dips below freezing or gets very hot where you live, bird of paradise will die if planted in the garden. Luckily, it grows very well in a pot indoors, so you can enjoy bird of paradise no matter where you live. Bird of paradise grows best in rich, moist soil that has been amended with plenty of compost so that it drains well. Good drainage is key to the health of bird of paradise. The plant will die if its roots stay wet and waterlogged.  If you're planting bird of paradise outdoors, till the soil in your planting bed to a depth of 12 inches (30.5 cm). Work in 4 inches (10.2 cm) of rich compost or other organic material in order to enrich the soil and promote good drainage. If you're planting bird of paradise in a pot, fill up a large clay pot (equipped with drainage holes) with rich, loamy potting soil. You can mix in a tablespoon of bone meal to make the soil even richer. Bird of paradise requires full sun, so look for a spot that gets at least five hours of sunlight per day. It can survive in partial shade, but it flourishes in sun. If you're growing bird of paradise inside, it's important to keep it in the brightest room in your house. When the temperature outside is right, you also have the choice to place the plant in a sunny spot outdoors; just make sure to bring it in when the air gets too hot or cold. Depending on the variety you have and the level of care you give it, bird of paradise can grow to be 5 ft (1.5 m ) tall. It's a large plant that takes up quite a bit of space, so space your plants about 6 ft (1.8 m) apart if you’re planting outdoors.

article: Your breathing affects your speech, so deep breathing can help you stop mumbling and speak clearly. Do breathing exercises every day to help you strengthen your voice. Here are some deep breathing exercises you can try:  Exhale all of the air from your lungs, then inhale deeply until your lungs are totally full. Do this 3 or 4 times a day to help you breathe better. Exhale until your lungs are empty, then take 5 quick gasps of air to fill your lungs. Gasping engages your diaphragm, so it will help you learn to breathe more deeply. Do big “ha ha ha” laughs to help you inhale and exhale deeply. Press your lips together and laugh through your nose to help you control your breath. Lie down, place a book over your abdomen, and relax. Then, breathe in deeply so that the book rises. When you exhale, the book should fall. Talking too quickly makes it hard for people to understand you and may cause you to mumble. Fortunately, slowing down can help you fix this problem. To help you slow down, take more breaths as you speak. Additionally, make sure you’re saying every syllable of each word. Try not to worry about speaking too slowly. It may feel like you’re talking really slowly, but you’re probably speaking at a normal speed. In addition to helping you feel more confident, good posture keeps your airways open so that you can speak more clearly. While standing or sitting, keep your back straight and your shoulders rolled back. Additionally, tilt your chin up so that you’re looking straight forward. Try not to hunch forward, even when you’re sitting down. It’s okay to lean, but keep your back straight so that you can breathe easily.

article:
If you live in an area where there isn’t much within walking distance, consider riding the bus to meet your date at a restaurant or coffee shop. Plan your route ahead of time, and always make sure you are catching the correct bus. Public transportation is a great way to get around if you can’t drive.  Make sure you have your fare ready, depending on what the cost is in your area. If you are going to meet your date, make sure you plan to meet at a specific stop or location, so you don’t get lost. If you and your date are going to head out on public transportation together, try to take a more scenic route and enjoy the ride! If your date lives far away, taking a train to meet halfway may be a good option. Offer to meet your date at a place that is in the middle of both of you, such as a restaurant or a coffee shop. You can also use the transit system to take your date to a more walkable area, if there isn’t much for you to do within walking distance of your home.  Make sure you know the route of the train you are taking and which stop you want to get off at. Always check the train schedules ahead of time and plan out which train you will need to take to get home. Take your date for a scenic ride on a bus or train. There’ll be lots of new places and people to see. You’ll be able to sit and talk with your date, people watch, and cruise around the city. Choose routes that have good views. Ride the bus or the train to the end of line, and then ride the same way back!
