Problem: Article: Measure 2–3 feet (0.61–0.91 m) from the leader, or the main vertical stem of the tree, then place your hand or pruning saw against the underside of the branch. Move the saw back and forth to cut a notch 1/3rd through the underside of the branch you want to cut.  Cutting a notch in the branch will protect the bark from breaking apart. If you’re cutting smaller branches you don’t have to cut a notch and you can use hand pruners. This relief cut will prevent the branch from breaking and splintering when you make your final cut. Measure 6 inches (15 cm) down from the notch and use a saw to cut off the end of the branch. After making your relief cut, your branch should be a nub with a notch cut into it. Make sure that the area under the branch is clear of people and objects. Find the branch collar, which is area of the branch where the rough bark turns into smooth bark. This should be a couple of inches away from the leader. Keep the branch collar intact when you trim so that the tree heals fully. Use your handsaw to cut off the remaining portion of the branch. Don’t cut the branch too close to the leader or it won’t heal properly. Over-pruning the tree could weaken it. Whether it’s a young or mature tree, avoid cutting away a lot of the branches at once. If you want to cut down a tree significantly, you’ll need to spread the pruning out over several seasons.
Summary: Cut a 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) notch into the bottom of the branch. Cut through the branch 6 inches (15 cm) from the notch. Cut the branch off the leader. Don’t prune more than 10%-15% of the foliage per season.

Problem: Article: Sit down in a chair where you can easily put both of your feet flat on the floor. Then, extend either your left or right leg straight out in front of you. Make sure your foot is relaxed when your leg is extended all the way. Roll your ankle a few times and point your toes and flex them back and forth to get your foot in a true relaxed state. Unless you are very flexible, it is difficult to get an accurate measurement on your own. Have another person take a tape measure or ruler and measure from the bottom of your heel to where the ball of the foot bends at the end of the ball. The measurement they get is your ideal heel height. The ball of the foot is the padded part of the sole that is between your arch and toes. If you rise up off of your heels, you will be balancing on the balls and toes of your feet. If you don’t have someone who can help you measure, you can do it on your own. Attach a tape measure to the wall at the same height your leg will be extended. Attaching it where the bottom of your heel will be is ideal for the easiest and most accurate measurement. Set up a camera against a wall at a height where it will be able to fully capture your extended leg and tape measure. You will need a camera with a self-timer, selfie stick, or remote to capture the picture. Take a few test shots to make sure you have the camera set to the right angle and height. Once you’ve taken a good photo, you can determine the measurement on the camera screen, but it’s typically easier if you upload the photo onto your computer. After it has been uploaded, you can zoom in to determine your ideal heel height or draw lines with Photoshop or a similar image editing software to make determining the measurement very easy to read.
Summary: Sit and extend your leg directly in front of you. Have a friend measure from the ball of your foot to your heel. Attach measuring tape to the wall alternatively. Set up a camera to capture the measurement on your own. Upload the photo and draw lines to determine heel height.

Problem: Article: If the word you wanted is not showing up, make sure you’re spelling it correctly. T9 can only predict words found in the dictionary. However, most phones allow you to save or “remember” words you use often, such as names or places not found in the dictionary. Try entering your word again, remembering to only press the number for the letter you need once. Take the time to store words that you want your phone to remember. Different phones have different ways to do this, but play around with your phone to figure out how to create your own personal dictionary. Add anything you know you’ll be typing often, like your best friend’s name, the town you live in, and so on. If you can't figure out how your specific phone stores words, google "Storing words in T9" along with the model of phone you're using. In other words, the letter combination 2-2-5-5 can create the words “call,” “ball,” and “balk.” Your phone doesn’t know which one you need, so this might be your issue. There are a couple ways to fix this, depending on the type of phone you’re using.  On some phones, you can press the 0 key to shuffle between words with the same number combinations. Some phones use the up and down arrow buttons to shuffle through the words. Make sure you read over your text before you press send. It’s not uncommon for T9 mishaps to create awkward or confusing moments, so proofread always. I’m sure you’d rather text your opponent that you can’t wait to “kick their butt” rather than “lick their butt”! It may be a slow process at first, but you’ll get the hang of it. Soon, you’ll be able to type out a T9 message faster than someone with a full keyboard.
Summary: Check to see if the word is entered correctly. Determine if the number combination creates multiple words. Send your first text message using T9 word.

Problem: Article: If you are using small-bubble wrap, you should wrap each bottle at least 4 times all the way around. If you are using large-bubble wrap, 2 times should be enough. You want about 3 inches (7.6 cm) of bubble wrap surrounding each bottle.  You can tape the bubble wrap in place with Scotch tape, or use rubber bands to hold it in place.  You can also purchase a partitioned packaging container, which will keep the bottles separate so they don’t knock against each other, but it’s still a good idea to wrap them in at least 1 layer of bubble wrap if you do so.  Partitioned packaging containers are usually available at shipping supply stores, and may come in the form of  a box or an insert you can place inside a box. This will keep them from leaking if any of them break during shipment. You can also seal the bottle cap with electrical tape if you are concerned about leaks. This is especially important with carbonated liquids such as beer and kombucha, which are more likely to blow their caps during shipment. Place the smaller box roughly in the middle of the larger one on top of the padding layer, and stuff more packing material around the sides of the smaller box. It should be packed tightly enough that it does not move when you shake the larger box. If the bottles contain liquid, place them upright. If not, you can place them however they fit best. Make sure you leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space between the bottles and the sides of the box. Once you have positioned the bottles in the box, surround them with packing materials on all sides. You should also stuff some packing materials between the bottles to keep them from moving around. Be careful not to pack the box too tight. Add packing materials just until the bottles don’t move when you shake the box.
Summary:
Wrap the bottles individually in bubble wrap. Seal each bottle in a plastic bag if they contain liquid. Pack the smaller box inside the larger one. Place the bottles inside the box. Stuff any empty spaces in the box with packing material.
