Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be intentional about imitating the person. Dress like the person. Imitate their mannerisms. Put yourself in the mindset of the person you admire. Imitate the person to overcome difficult situations.

Answer: Do not be shy about the fact you're imitating someone. Many people feel they have to mask their imitations to appear original, but most people with a unique sense of style modeled themselves after others at one point or another. Do not be embarrassed that you're trying to imitate someone and own your decision. Dressing like someone you admire can help you feel more like them. Take a shopping trip and purchase the type of clothes and accessories the person would normally wear. A change in your wardrobe can result in a change in your attitude.  However, don't copy their look exactly, especially if it's someone you know. If you wear the exact same clothes as a classmate, for example, they may take offense.  Instead, strive to pick clothes that resemble the general sense of the person's style. For example, say the person wears a lot of bright colors. Pick brightly colored clothing instead of seeking out the exact same striped sweater a person wore to class one day. This should come naturally, to a degree, if you observe the person frequently. However, try to make a conscious effort as well. If the person you admire tends to tap their pencil, try to do that on occasion. While mannerisms are sometimes only surface-level gestures, imitating mannerisms may help you feel more like the person. This can encourage you to act like the person as well. In any situation, pause and think about how the person you admire would act. Try to act in a similar fashion. For example, you end up spilling a drink on yourself during lunch. While your first instinct is to get upset, the person you admire enjoys self-depreciating humor. Instead of getting angry, make a joke about yourself. Imitation can help you get through difficult situations. If you encounter something stressful or scary, imagine you're the other person instead of yourself. This way, you can ignore your natural tendencies and weaknesses and come out strong. For example, say you're shy by nature and need to give a presentation. Pretend you're the person you admire presenting, who's generally outspoken. This will help you go into the presentation with confidence.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prune shrubs in late winter to mid-spring, depending on the plant. Prune the shrubs in order to reduce their height. Prune older shrubs to give them new life. Prune shrubs to remove any diseased growth.

Answer: In general, late winter through mid-spring is the best time to prune. The new flourish of growth will fill out the shrub quickly. However, if the shrub is rather large and growing vigorously, it should be trimmed during the summer. Pruning at this time suppresses aggressive growth.  Pruning from late summer through fall should be avoided. Shrubs pruned at this time will put on new, lush growth that is either lost in the fall or damaged during the winter. Blooming season and whether the shrub blooms on old wood or new wood should also be taken into consideration. For example, border forsythias (Forsythia x intermedia) bloom on “old wood” or stems that form during the previous year. They should be pruned immediately after they finish flowering, usually in mid-spring, so that they will have time to form new flower buds for the following year.  Roses (Rosa spp. and hybrids) should be pruned in late winter or very early spring because they form blooms on new stems. Broken canes need to be removed as soon as they are noticed regardless of the shrub type. Reduce the height of cane-growing shrubs by completely removing the oldest, tallest canes. Cut them off close to the base of the shrub. Prune out a few of the canes at the center of the shrub if it seems to be too crowded. You should also prune any canes that are growing at an odd angle across other canes. Over-grown, older shrubs that are still healthy can be rejuvenated. The first rejuvenation option is cutting all of the canes back to a height of 6 to 10 inches (15.2 to 25.4 cm) in late winter or early spring.  Then, in early to mid-summer after the shrub has put on new growth, prune off half of the new canes and trim several of the remaining new canes back by a few inches. The other option is to completely remove the older, thicker canes in late winter to early spring each year for three years. Remove up to one-third of the canes each time but always remove the oldest canes first. When diseases like stem canker attack a cane-growing shrub, the diseased canes should be completely removed immediately, regardless of the shrub’s blooming habit or the time of year.  Put the diseased canes into the garbage or have them removed from the property. Disinfect the pruners or loppers with household disinfectant before and after each cut to help prevent the spread of disease.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Notify the correct people of the meeting. Distribute meeting packets. Select your writing implement.

Answer: If you have a shareholders meeting, you must notify all shareholders. If you are holding a director’s meeting, then you must notify all directors. Both shareholders and directors may waive the notice requirement. However, they should have signed a waiver form. Look to see if any have and provide proper notice to those that haven’t. Every attendee will need the same set of information so that they can make an informed vote at the meeting. You should create a packet of information and distribute. Include the following:  the minutes from the prior meeting reports or documents to review before the meeting As the person taking the notes, you should decide how you want to write them down in the meeting. Generally, people still write notes in longhand, though you can use a laptop.  If you use a laptop, then any drafts will be stored electronically. This means someone can retrieve them in a lawsuit. Accordingly, you should think carefully before taking minutes using a computer.  The clicking of the computer keys is also distracting, which you should keep in mind. Ask your Chair whether they prefer you take minutes in longhand or with a laptop.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Turn off the circuit breaker feeding the pump. Open the vent or remove the test hole plug. Pour in the bleach. Attach the hose. Recirculate the water. Test for chlorine. Wash down the sides of the well. Test for chlorine indoors. Wait 12 to 24 hours.

Answer:
Depending on the type of well, you may need to open the vent pipe in order to pour in the chlorine.  The vent pipe should be located on the wellhead, it's usually about 6 inches (15.2 cm) in length and 1/2 an inch in diameter. Open the vent by unscrewing the pipe from the seal. Alternatively, you may be able to remove the cover from the top of the well, which may require removing a few screws. Once you have access to the well, carefully pour the correct amount of bleach through a funnel into the access hole, avoiding any electrical connections.  You may want to wear protective gloves, goggles and an apron when handling the undiluted bleach. If any bleach should get on your skin, rinse it off immediately with clean water. Attach the female end of the hose to the nearest spigot, then run the male end (cut off at an angle) into the hole left by the vent pipe, or directly into the well.  If the hose is not long enough to reach the well, connect additional hoses. Double-check that all electrical connections are waterproof before turning on the circuit breaker, then the water on at full volume. Leave it to recirculate for at least an hour.  The running water from the hose forces the water at the bottom of the well to flow to the surface, distributing the chlorine evenly. This ensures that any bacteria in the well water will be exposed to and killed by the chlorine. After the water has been recirculating for at least an hour, you can test for chlorine in your water supply. You can do this in one of two ways:  Pull the hose out of the vent and use the chlorine test kit to test for the presence of chlorine in the water coming out of the hose. Alternatively, you can run an outdoor faucet to see if you can detect the smell of chlorine in the water. If the chlorine test comes up negative, or you cannot smell chlorine in the water supply, continue to recirculate the water for another 15 minutes, then check again. Once you have detected chlorine in the water, re-insert the hose and vigorously swirl it around to wash any chlorine residue from the well casing and pump piping. Once you've done that for 10 or 15 minutes, turn off the hose and replace well lid or reinsert the vent pipe. Go inside and test for the presence of chlorine at every sink bath and shower, using either the test kit or your sense of smell.  Don't forget to test both the hot and cold faucets and also remember to run any addition outdoor spigots until chlorine is detected. You should also flush each toilet in the house once or twice. Leave the chlorine to sit in the water supply for a minimum of 12 hours, but preferably 24. During this time, do your best to keep water use to a minimum.
