Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove small sprouts a couple of times during the summer. Cut off any new branches growing towards the trunk or other branches. Prune away damaged branches immediately. Thin out fruit-producing branches in early summer, when apricots are about one inch.

Answer: Snipping off new growth helps make sure that all of the tree’s branches are getting enough light. Heading off fresh branches early will train your tree to keep growing in the proper structure and will lessen the number of large branches that need to be removed later, once they start causing problems. If a branch breaks because of heavy winds or because it’s bearing a lot of heavy fruit, remove it as soon as possible. Make the edges of the break clean by cutting away any jagged or broken pieces to promote healthy, quick healing. This process helps prevent the tree from over-producing, and improves fruit color and health throughout the tree.  Keep an eye out for boughs that are producing a lot of apricots and becoming too weighed down, and cut away some of the branches to prevent breakage. If your apricot tree is only producing a substantial apricot crop every other year, thinning out fruit branches on heavy years helps to correct the tree and encourage it to produce a consistent crop every year.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with a small block of soft wood (pine, basswood or balsa) 1" wide by 1" tall, 4" long. Mark on the wood with a pencil the trace lines as shown in the image. Chisel cavities on both sides of the outlined ball. Turn the block over and repeat. Cut the slivers from the ends of the block. Carefully whittle the slivers from the ball until it can roll freely within the frame.

Answer: Notice that the circle overlaps the edge lines a little.  What you're doing is chiseling from the outside in until you have only a sliver remaining in the center, as shown.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/55\/Whittle-a-Ball-in-a-Cage-Step-4Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Whittle-a-Ball-in-a-Cage-Step-4Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/55\/Whittle-a-Ball-in-a-Cage-Step-4Bullet1.jpg\/aid42434-v4-728px-Whittle-a-Ball-in-a-Cage-Step-4Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":325,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"514","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid hot and humid places. Wash your hands often with soap and water. Take cool showers to keep your body from sweating. Control your anxiety and stress.

Answer: Your body will sweat in order to reduce its temperature. Being in hot weather will raise your body temperature. If you are outside a lot during hot parts of the year, consider taking regular breaks indoors where it is cooler, or seeking regular refuge in the shade or under an umbrella. Public areas, such as coffee shops, libraries, and museums, often have air conditioning during hotter months. It is generally acceptable to spend time in these areas in order to relax and beat the heat. Though this may seem counter-intuitive, rinsing your hands with cool water can lower your body temperature, preventing excess sweat. Using soap will keep your hands healthy and bacteria-free. Make sure you dry your hands completely with a soft cloth after washing them.  Excess hand washing may make them too dry. Either limit hand washing or consider using a lotion after washing. An alcohol-based hand sanitizer can also keep your hands cool. Cool showers are a great way to reduce your body heat in hot weather or long days. Take care that you don't shower too much; too much cleansing can leave your skin dry and without essential oils, which may interfere with healthy sweating. Consider using a moisturizer or body lotion, as well as an antiperspirant, after showering. Stressful situations can make you sweat more than usual. Control your stress levels through daily exercises such as yoga, meditation, or massage. Consider practicing different relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and even laughter. Mix and match these techniques for your daily life in order to combat different kinds of stress--do yoga in the morning, for instance, and breathe deeply throughout the day. Warm baths can help you control your stress (and sweat) levels, even if they do raise your body temperature.
