Problem: Article: The trump suit will be the suit that will win over any other suits. To decide what you want the trump suit to be, look at your hand of cards to see which suit you have the most and highest cards in.  For example, if you have several Hearts with high numbers, you might want the trump suit to be Hearts so you have a higher chance of winning more tricks. Ultimately, there will only be one trump suit⁠—the person who wins the bid will determine the trump suit⁠. A trick is a full round of each player playing one card. How many tricks you think you’re able to win depends on how many cards of a suit you have⁠—the lowest number of tricks you can bid is 6, while the highest is 10.  To win a trick, the card you played must have a higher value than the other 3 cards played by other players. If you don’t have a great hand and don’t think you can win at least 6 tricks, you can pass. Once the trump suit is decided, the Joker will be the highest card of the trump suit. After the Joker, the Jack of the trump suit is second-highest, with the third-highest card being the Jack of the same color as the trump suit. The ranking continues down with the Ace of the trump suit, King, Queen, 10, 9, and so on. Cards that are not in the trump suit have a normal ranking of Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, and so on. For example, if the trump suit is Diamonds, the ranking would go Joker, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Hearts, Ace of Diamonds, Kind of Diamonds, Queen of Diamonds, continuing down to a 4 of Diamonds. Each player will go around saying their bid, such as “7 Spades” or “8 Diamonds.” If your hand isn’t strong enough to win enough tricks, this is when you say “pass.” Each bid has to be higher than the previous bid.  You can also bid no trumps, meaning the Joker is the only trump card. You would only bid this if you are the player who has the Joker. While you can write down everyone's bids if you want to, it's not necessary as each bid will have to be higher than the last, making them easy to remember. If you were the person who said the highest bid, you take the 3 cards in the middle. After looking through your hand, discard the 3 least useful cards face down on the table. The suit that the winner bid is now the trump suit.  The cards in the middle, known as the pot, are also called the kitty. Strategically, it's best to discard any cards of a very low value.
Summary: Determine the trump suit. Decide how many tricks you think you can win. Understand the ranking of the cards. Place your bid. Take the pot if you won the bid.

Problem: Article: Pruning your pear tree during its dormant season before it actively begins regrowth in the spring is best because the tree will put more energy into growing where it was pruned. Pruning during this time when the leaves are off the tree also allows for you to better see  what you’re doing. You should also choose a dry day to prune your pear tree. If it’s raining or snowing when you cut your tree, there’s a higher risk of infection getting into the wet cuts. If your shears or saw are old and you’re not sure if they are sharp, you can either sharpen them yourself or take them to your local hardware store to have them sharpened for a small fee To clean your shears or saw yourself, dip the blades in isopropyl alcohol for 30 seconds to disinfect them, then wipe them dry with a clean towel. Cuts that are slightly slanted will help deter water from soaking into the cut and having your branch get infected. You want to also want to make cuts right against the larger branch that the branch you're removing is growing from. Avoid leaving little stubs when you make cuts. Make a clean, slanted cut right up against the larger branch. If your tree is healthy, aim to remove 10-20% of the overall canopy of your tree in one year. This will mean more for older trees, and not much at all for younger trees. If you prune too hard, your tree may produce the vigorous upright branches called water sprouts which will start to crowd your tree. If your pruning pile starts looking a little big, or more than 10-20% of your tree, it’s time to stop immediately. Wait until next year to prune more.
Summary: Prune during the winter on a dry day. Have a sharp, clean set of shears or pruning saw. Make slanted cuts that are flush with the branches. Cut 10-20% of your tree each year.

Problem: Article: Make sure that your computer can actually burn DVDs, as older computers may not have the capability. If the AutoPlay window doesn't appear, click the Start menu and select Computer. Right-click on the DVD drive and select "Open". This can help you identify what's on this disc later. Including the date in the name can help organize your discs. There are two options when it comes to burning a data disc: Live File System or Mastered.  Using the Live File System allows you to add, edit, and delete files on the disc as long as you're using it with other Windows computers. If you select this option, the disc will be formatted before you can start adding files to it. This formatting process may take a few minutes. Mastered finalizes the disc when you're done adding files so that it can't be changed, but will allow you to use the disc in any computer or device that supports data DVDs. Once you've selected your disc format, you can start adding files to the disc. Single-layer DVDs can fit 4.7 GB of data. There are a couple of different ways that you can add files to your blank disc:  Click and drag files into the blank DVD's window. Right-click on a file or folder and select "Send to" and then your disc drive. If you're using the Live File System format, the files will be burned to the disc as soon as you copy them. This may take a few moments for larger files. When you're done adding files to your disc, you can finish the process by either closing the session (Live File System) or by burning the disc (Mastered).  Live File System - Click the Close session button at the top of the disc's window. This will finalize the disc which allows you to continue using it like a USB drive in other Windows computers. Mastered - Click the Burn to disc button at the top of the disc's window. You'll be given the opportunity to name the disc again and select your recording speed. The burn process may take several minutes to complete. At the end of the burning process, you'll be given the opportunity to burn the same data to another blank disc if you need copies. You can continue to add files to your burned DVDs as long as there is still free space available. You can do this regardless of which format you created the disc in. Follow the processes above to add more files.  Live File System - Every time you open a new session on a disc, you lose about 20 MB of usable space. Mastered - Files added to an already-burned disc cannot be deleted. DVD-RW discs are rewritable, and can be erased even if you chose the Mastered format. To erase the disc, insert it and open Windows Explorer. Select your DVD-RW in your list of devices, but don't open it. Click the Erase this disc button at the top of the window.
Summary:
Insert a blank DVD into your computer. Select "Burn files to disc" from the AutoPlay window. Give the disc a name. Choose your format. Add files to the disc. Wait for the files to be burned (Live File System). Finish the disc. Add more files to completed discs. Erase a DVD-RW.
