INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Trying to control everything will most likely just ruin the moment. Just try to relax and let it happen.  You might find that the moment just doesn’t feel right. Do your best to feel out the moment and let it build up, rather than go in with a “now or never” mindset. It might be better to try another time, especially if it’s your (or her) first kiss, rather than go in and knock each other’s teeth, bump heads, or get turned down. Gently move your face closer to hers. If you know the words to the song and can carry a tune, try gently singing along to the song to her. Do your best to be just loud enough for her to hear without ruining the moment by shouting in her ear.  If you don’t know the words or aren’t comfortable singing to her, just tell her something sweet. Try saying “You are absolutely beautiful," or "You know, this dress is so gorgeous on you." As you sing or whisper a compliment, hold her close to you. Gently put your arms around her and caress her to build up the moment.  Make sure she’s comfortable, and give her space if she’s stiff or pulls away from you. Try to make this a gradual movement instead of a quick jerk. Gently tilt your head, brush your noses together, and rest your forehead against hers. Look into her eyes for two or three seconds, but try not to just give a blank stare. You should be genuine and look at her deeply - make sure you mean it!  After two or three seconds, slowly start closing your eyes. When you actually move in to kiss her, there’s nothing creepier than having your eyes open.  If she doesn't want to kiss you, she'll let you know at this stage by moving her face away from yours or trying to back away. Give her space and just dance until the song is finished, then thank her for dancing with you.

SUMMARY: Go with the flow. Move in closer and whisper something sweet. Move your face back and look into her eyes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Also known as an "overheating bath," this centuries-old technique works by stimulating the body's natural immunological response. You can take a bath at a professional Schlenz centre, but the process is simple enough to do at home. Before the bath, drink one or two cups of hot herbal tea, such as ginger, lemon balm, peppermint, elder, or goldenrod tea. If you have a weak heart, add several drops of Crataegisan to the tea to reduce the potential risk brought about by the hot bath.  Fill the bathtub with hot water. Keep the temperature between 97 and 98°F (36 and 37°C). Submerge your entire body. If you cannot fit your entire body into the tub, bend your knees so that you head is submerged. Make sure that your nose and mouth remain out of the water so that you can breathe without any problems. You should not allow the water temperature to drop during the process. Add more hot water, as needed, to maintain the heat. Allow the water to reach a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) with each addition. Remain in the bath for about half an hour. Have another person help you out of the water if you feel faint or dizzy getting out. Aside from the traditional Schlenz bath, there are other hot bath therapies you can use to induce a fever. One technique, which has been claimed to have cancer-fighting qualities, requires you to draw a hot bath, making the water as hot as you can comfortably stand. Do not scorch yourself. Mix in 2-1/4 lbs (1000 g) Epsom salts. Soak as much of your body as possible in the bath. Stay in there for a full 20 to 25 minutes, adding more hot water as needed to maintain a constant source of heat. Sip on ginger root tea during the bath to heat the body from the inside as you heat your body from the outside using the bath water.  Be careful when getting out of the bath. If you feel faint or dizzy, ask for someone else's assistance. Dry off naturally instead of drying yourself with a towel. Spread a sheet of plastic over your bed to protect it from getting wet and lie down, covering yourself with as many blankets as possible. Stay there for three to eight hours. You will sweat a lot and should stay in bed until the fever breaks. Usually, the fever will go away after six to eight hours. You can repeat this once a week for as many as six to eight weeks. A specific kind of meditation associated with Tibetan monks has been cited as a way to increase body temperature and potentially induce a fever. Scientific analysis has shown that g-tummo meditation can help raise body temperature to the temperature zone of a slight or moderate fever. The rise in body temperature has been observed during the Forceful Breath vase breathing element of the meditation, and the length of time the temperature can be sustained appears to depend on the neurocognitive element (meditative visualisation) of the meditation.  Find an expert instructor and ask him or her to guide you through the practice. The Forceful Breath vase breathing technique can be practised at home to help to regulate your body temperature.  Vase breathing is essentially breathing in clean air and then exhaling around 85% of that air. This breathing helps create a vase shape in your lower abdomen. It can be coupled with visualisation, such as picturing flames travelling up your spine. Exercise and strenuous physical activity increase your core body temperature. Doing a tough workout on a hot day, or wearing layers of clothing will make it harder for your body to cool down and lose heat. Your core temperature could rise by a few degrees. You should take care when exercising or you could induce a number of heat-related illnesses, including heat cramps and heat exhaustion.  Some athletes, wrestlers for instance, wear extra layers of clothes even plastic bags and do cardiovascular activities like running and lifting.  These athletes also go into the sauna with this apparel on in order to elevate their body temperatures and lose water weight while flushing out their systems. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids to avoid becoming dehydrated. Be aware of symptoms of heat-illnesses such as dizziness, nausea, heart rhythm problems, and visual problems. If you experience any of these symptoms stop immediately, cool down and recover.

SUMMARY: Prepare a Schlenz bath at home. Try an alternate form of bath therapy. Try g-tummo meditation. Exercise to increase body temperature.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You’ll also need a container or basket to collect your broccoli in. Ensure that your pruners/knife are clean and sharp, as this will keep your broccoli healthy after you cut it, and allow it to continue growing. Measure about 5-8 inches down the stalk below the head and clip or cut the stem. Ensure you cut at an angle to prevent rain from pooling on top and rotting the centre of the stem. Try to make the cut in one motion to avoid tearing the stalk. In the weeks after you harvest the main head, your plant may continue to grow side shoots that you can also cut off for up to three months. Check back every 3-4 days to see if there are new side shoots to harvest.  Clip these in the same way you harvest the main head, ensuring you cut the stalks at an angle and leave a couple of inches of stalk at the bottom. You can get several harvests throughout the season by following this process, and side shoots will take longer to bolt/flower.  If your plant is flowering, you can still harvest it as the flowers are edible, and can be used in a variety of soup, salad or stir-fry recipes. Rinse and thoroughly dry the florets and store your refrigerator in a loosely sealed bag or container. Broccoli stored this way will keep for up to 5 days. If you plan to keep broccoli for longer, simply blanch and freeze it. Frozen broccoli can keep for up to a year. Once the side shoots stop growing, this is a sign the plant is no longer producing. Using your gloves, pull the entire plant out, including the roots. This will make room for future crops, and stop the broccoli plant from rotting in your soil. If you have a compost system, you can add the plant to your pile and it will create nutritious food for future crops.

SUMMARY:
Gather your garden gloves and pruners, or a knife. Use your knife or pruners to clip off the main stalk. Harvest the side shoots. Store your harvested broccoli. Pull out your broccoli plant after a week of no new growth.
