Problem: Article: Grip the bottom of the lock with a pair of vise-grips. Tighten the nut on the handle to ensure the lock doesn’t move around while you’re holding it. Tilt the lock away from the object it’s attached to. Don’t use your bare hands to hold the lock since you could burn yourself. Pick any location on the shackle to heat. Light the torch with a striker and turn the valve on the nozzle to make the flames into a tight cone. Hold the tip of the flame against the shackle until it turns red hot.  Find an area on the shackle that you can easily maneuver a saw around. Work in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case there’s an accident. After the lock is red hot, turn off the propane torch and let the shackle cool. Don’t dip the lock in water to cool it down, since this could strengthen the steel again. Use a fine-toothed hacksaw meant for cutting through metal. Hold the lock in place with vise-grips in your non-dominant hand, and pull the back and forth across the area you heated with your dominant hand. Apply firm pressure to the lock to cut through it completely.  The heat softens the metal and helps the saw teeth stay in place as you try to cut the lock. Hacksaws work best on metal locks.
Summary: Keep the lock sturdy with vise-grips. Hold a lit propane torch to the shackle for about 3 minutes. Let the lock cool down for 2-3 minutes. Saw through the area you heated.

Problem: Article: Once you've completed and proofread your batch file, you can proceed with saving it as an executable file. It's in the top-left corner of the Notepad window. A drop-down menu will appear. This option is in the File drop-down menu. Clicking it prompts the Save As window to open.

Problem: Article: You will need to plant plumeria seeds or cuttings to grow your own plumeria. Unfortunately, these are not very commercially available. It can be a challenge to find them, so your best bet is to obtain them from someone who already has a plumeria. Perhaps a neighbor or relative already has a plumeria and would be willing to share these with you. The seeds and cuttings can be harvested in the spring or fall to allow for the propagation of the plant. Seeds and cuttings can also be found online on websites like Amazon, although there are some concerns about the quality of these, since plumeria seeds and cuttings lose viability within a few months. This involves placing the seeds in a wet paper towel for one full day. They will absorb the moisture and look slightly swollen, indicating that they are ready to grow. This will help them to take root more quickly. Make sure they are in a warm environment while germinating. To plant plumeria seeds or cuttings, fill the container with soil and insert the seeds about .2 inches (about 5mm) into the soil or the cuttings about 2 inches (about 5cm) into the soil. Pack soil firmly around the seeds or cuttings to hold them securely in place. If planting seeds, make sure the swollen end is at the bottom and that part of the seed wing sticks out of the soil. Only plant one seed or cutting per pot. You can plant them originally in a smaller pot (about 500 mL or 16.9 fluid ounces) and then transplant them into a larger pot (2.5 gal or 9.5 liters) after the seed begins to grow in about a week to a month. The smaller pots are known as cultivation pots and can be helpful for a plant that is just beginning to grow. When you first plant your plumeria cutting, do not water it immediately. New plumerias are very delicate and their root systems will grow with minimal water. Simply make sure it has enough light and heat for about 3 weeks and then begin to gradually add water. Start by adding a half cup of water to the plant each week. Water any pre-started plants thoroughly; there is no need to wait.  In about a month or two, the plant will begin to grow leaves. This means you can regularly water it each week. When leaves are about 5 inches long, it means the plumeria is rooted and you can water it thoroughly. Once the seedling is at least 3 inches tall, you can transplant it into a larger pot. Simply remove the seedling with its soil and place it in a larger container filled with potting soil, at least a gallon in size. Simply cover the roots with soil and pack it firmly in its new pot. Opt for a plastic pot or black nursery container if possible.
Summary:
Obtain seeds or cuttings. Germinate the seeds. Plant the seeds or cuttings. Wait to water any cuttings. Transplant the seedlings.
