Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove each flower as it fades. Cut the flower stalks once they yellow or sag. Move the amaryllis to an area with bright indirect light. Water the soil whenever it begins to dry. Continue on to the summer section as soon as the weather becomes warm.

Answer: Once a flower has faded, cut the flower where it meets the main stalk with a clean knife or scissors. Make sure to remove the green lump and thin green stem attaching the flower to the stalk. This prevents the plant from producing seeds, which requires a lot of energy that could be going into survival and growth instead. The main stalks contain food and water the plant can use, but they will likely begin to droop or turn yellow shortly after the flowers fade. They are no longer useful at this point, and should be cut back to within 2 inches (5 cm) of the bulb.  Be careful not to cut the leaves or the top of the bulb. Only the flower stalks should be removed.  Do not be alarmed if sap runs out of the cut. This is normal for a well-watered plant. Most people with amaryllis plants keep them indoors while they bloom in winter. If this is the case, move the plant to a windowsill with indirect sunlight to let it adjust to increased sunlight. Pick a spot that is bright and receives lots of sunlight, but not by direct exposure. You may skip this step if the plant was already exposed to indirect or full sunlight.  In the northern hemisphere, north and east facing windows receive indirect sunlight. In the southern hemisphere, south and east facing windows do. Make sure to keep the plant relatively cool, too, at about room temperature. This is around or slightly warmer than 60 degrees F. Your amaryllis will likely require daily watering unless kept in a humid environment or planted outside in moist soil. Don't let the soil dry out completely, at least not for longer than a few hours. You’ll want to keep the soil just slightly moist at all times. After growth begins, also fertilize the plant with a half-strength, water-soluble fertilizer every two or three weeks. Depending on your local climate, this typically begins in May or June in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, warm weather usually begins in December or January.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set the welding machine to DC positive polarity. Set the amperage to the same level as the stick you're using. Tap your rod against metal to start it up.

Answer: Direct current, or DC positive, allows for a greater level of penetration than alternating current, or AC, polarity. This makes it easier for first-time welders to create a uniform bead as they begin to weld. The stick that attaches to your welding gun is an electrode and is often referred to as the "rod." Different rods will have specifications found on their packaging or in their instruction manuals that explain the proper corresponding amperage that your machine needs. The electrode should be tightened in the welding gun before you start. Lightly strike the rod against the metal like a match to start the weld. When it successfully starts welding, you'll see an electric arc coming from the electrode on your gun. Remember to wear a non-flammable apron, welding mask, and gloves before you weld.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify the main shut off valve. Shut the valve by turning it clockwise. Turn on all of the faucets to flush the remaining water in the system.

Answer: This is usually a brass valve that has a round handle. In most homes, it is located near the main water pipe leading into your home. Common locations for this pipe include the kitchen, downstairs, or a utility room. In warmer regions, you may even find this valve outside. However, in colder climates, expect to find it inside the home. This will cut off the stream of water flowing into your home. If the valve is stiff, wear a glove while closing it to protect your hand as you apply some elbow grease. After that, all appliances that use water will no longer work until the water is turned back on. Fixtures or appliances with a reservoir may still have limited usage after cutting off the water. Toilets, for example, usually flush one more time even while the supply is cut. Run your sinks, baths, and showers until the water stops flowing. When water's been bled from the lines completely, turn all of the faucets off. Now you can begin your plumbing repairs safely. When you are finished with your work, turn the valve counterclockwise to restore the water supply to your home.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fold the shemagh into a triangle. Wrap the fabric over the lower half of your face.

Answer:
With the shemagh completely open, match one corner with the corner diagonally opposite from it, folding the square in half and into a triangle. This style is not necessarily the most practical, nor is it especially traditional, but it can be a casual and trendy way to wear a shemagh. The folded edge of the shemagh should cover your nose and mouth. Two corners should appear on either side of your face, and the other corner should drape down in front of your face and over the top part of your neck and chest.
