Article: You will easily be able to tell dead palm leaves from their brown color and dry texture. Palm leaves can become damaged from a variety of reasons but the most common is because of weather. Be sure to only cut the leaves and do not yet prune the stems or trunk.  Start from the outermost layer of leaves and work your way in. If you want to prune the stem all the way back to the trunk because of damage, you should note that this will probably affect the flowering capability. Cut the stalk with a clean and sharp knife about ½ to 1 inch from the trunk. Regular pruning will allow your banana plant to remain looking lush. Make sure you have waited until you have harvested any fruit and until your plant has flowered before you prune the stem. If any suckers have sprouted away from your main banana plant, you will need to cut them down as they have a tendency to spread. It is suggested to leave at least one main sucker for your actual banana tree. The main stalk is often referred to as the maiden or mother plant. If you have a fruit bearing tree, a stalk will only bear fruit one time.

Trim any brown dead leaves with garden shears. Use a sharp blade or knife to prune the stem. Cut any suckers that have sprouted.
Article: ” or “Miss” unless requested by the widow. Typically, this form of address is not used unless the widow specifically asks to be addressed that way. For instance, if many years have passed since her spouse died, or if she’s dating someone new, she may want to drop her spouse's full name. The only way to know for certain is to ask her. For example: "Hi Aunt Anna! I am mailing you an invitation to Maddox's christening, and I want to make sure I address it properly. I know you've been dating Darrell for several years now; should I stop using 'Mrs.' and Uncle Richard's first name when addressing mail to you?" If you’ve received correspondence from the widow since her spouse’s passing, check the return address to see how she referred to herself. Using the name that she used is a good approach, especially if you feel too awkward to bring up such a difficult topic with her directly.  Check the upper left hand corner of the envelope for the return address. Her preferred name will most likely be written there. If the correspondence is formal or business related rather than personal, check the letter itself. If she signed off on the letter, her preferred form may be there. For example, "Sincerely, Mrs. Anna Hoffman." If you have a personal relationship with the widow and feel comfortable doing so, simply ask her how she would like to be addressed in the future. It’s a difficult topic to bring up, but it’s better for her to receive correspondence that is addressed to her properly. You could say: “Hi Aunt Anna! I’m getting ready to mail you a wedding invitation, and I want to make sure I address it properly. Do you still go by Uncle Richard’s full name in correspondence?”

Avoid using “Ms. Follow the widow’s lead if she’s written to you before. Ask the widow directly which form she prefers.
Article: If you can keep a calm demeanor, you'll help the autistic person feel calmer too.  Keep a patient and understanding attitude. Show them the same kindness that you'd want other people to show you if you were at your wits' end. Never shout at, scold, or punish an autistic person for being upset. They aren't doing this on purpose, and being unkind will only make it worse. If you can't control yourself, it's better to leave than to make the situation worse. Sometimes, they may be overwhelmed, and need quiet time. Other times, they might be experiencing difficult emotions related to something in their life (like a bad grade at school or an argument with a friend).  During severe sensory overload, people who are ordinarily verbal may suddenly lose the ability to speak. This is due to severe overstimulation, and will pass with relaxation time. If someone has lost the ability to speak, ask only yes/no questions that they can answer with thumbs up/thumbs down. If you cannot, encourage any people in the room to leave. Explain that unexpected noise and movement are hard for the autistic person right now, and she would be happy to hang out again sometime later. Sometimes, the person might want you there to keep them company and help them calm down. Other times, they might want to be alone for a while. Either way, don't take it personally.   If they can't speak right now, let them answer with a thumbs up/thumbs down. Or you can say "Do you want me to stay or leave?" and point at the ground and at the door, and then let them point to where they want you to be. If a small child wants to be left alone, you can sit across the room and do something quiet (like playing on your phone or reading a book) so there is still an adult present. When they're distressed, they may be unable to think clearly, and they may have trouble doing simple tasks like taking off an uncomfortable sweater or getting a drink of water. Help them out, without infringing on their personal space.   If they're tugging at uncomfortable clothing, offer to help them remove it. (Don't try to remove clothes without permission, as this can be startling and upsetting.) If they're trying to drink from the sink, get a cup for them. Move dangerous or breakable objects out of their way. Put a pillow or folded-up jacket under their head to protect it, or put their head on your lap if it's safe.   If they are throwing things, it might be that the throwing motion calms them down. Try giving them something that can be thrown safely (like a throw pillow). Let them throw it, and then retrieve it so they can throw it again. This can calm them. If you don't feel safe getting close to them, then don't. Let them continue until they calm down and wear themselves out. Parents, teachers, and caregivers may know how to help. They may be able to offer specific insight about the autistic person's particular needs.  Police are not usually trained to help with autistic meltdowns, and they may worsen the situation or hurt your autistic loved one. Instead, get someone who the autistic person knows and trusts.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take a moment to calm yourself. Ask what's wrong, if the person is able to speak. Take them to a quiet place. Ask if they want you to stay with them. Help them with any difficult tasks. Keep them safe if they are thrashing, flailing, or throwing things. Get help if you don't know what to do.
