Your parents are likely to have concerns about how having a lip ring might affect your health. They will appreciate it if you’re up-front and open about the matter, which will show them that you’re not hiding anything.  Highlight the low risk of infection, hepatitis, and nerve damage as the main concerns.  Emphasize that these complications can be prevented by using a certified, licensed piercer, ensuring you have the proper immunizations for tetanus and hepatitis B, and by regularly cleaning the ring and the piercing. Mention that noticeable swelling is an expected aftereffect of a lip piercing, and that to make room for the enlarged area, a longer-than-usual piercing called a post is put in place until the swelling goes down. But add that while the larger post can cause gum damage, its potential to do so is limited since it will be replaced by a regular-size piercing after the swelling goes away in six to eight weeks. Try to play down the change in appearance by observing: "It won't look or feel much different from a fat lip after a sports accident, or a mouth sore." If your parents say that they’ve heard that lip piercings can damage your teeth by chipping them, point out that it is actually tongue piercings that cause the most tooth chipping. While there may be a slight risk of tooth damage while eating, depending on the type of lip ring you wear, you can calm any concerns your parents may have by agreeing to remove your ring before meals once the piercing has healed. You can reassure them by pledging something like, "I'll get in the routine of taking out the ring by making notes for myself as reminders."

Q: Roses require ample water to grow large, gorgeous flowers. Soak all of the roots about 1 minute at least 2 times a week in warm weather. You want to take your time watering the roses so the water reaches entirely to the roots, rather than just the surface.  To check how wet your soil is, simply stick your finger all the way into the soil. If it is dry, you should water your roses. Generally, aim to give the roses a total of 3 in (7.6 cm) of water every week. In addition to regular watering, you can spray your rose blooms with a squirt bottle once your flowers emerge. This helps keep them clean and moisturize the petals. Roses use nutrients in the soil very quickly as they grow their flowers. In particular, their primary nutrients include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. To keep them well fed, spread a 1 in (2.5 cm) layer of fertilizer over their topsoil about once a month.  You can purchase fertilizer at garden centers and home supply stores. Alternatively, you can use compost to feed your roses. When growing long stem roses, you want each plant to grow 1 large, luscious flower. Once your roses grow to about 18–24 in (46–61 cm), trim away any extra leaves and shoots from the main base stem using garden shears. In addition, go around the stem and look for any small green buds. When you find the buds, snip them off at the stem using your shears. Removing the additional leaves, stems, and buds helps the plant direct all its nutrients to the main bud. If you want to cut your  long stem flowers to display in a bouquet or a vase, trim your roses when they grow to about 18 in (46 cm) or longer. This is the length of your standard long stem rose. Trim off the extra leaves and buds with garden shears, then cut the rose about 18 in (46 cm) away from the flower. Make your cut at a 45-degree angle directly above another bud to effectively prune the flower. If you want extra-long stems, let your rose continue to grow beyond 24 in (61 cm)
A: Water your roses diligently at least every 2 days. Mist the buds with a light coating of water every 2-4 days. Apply a fresh layer of organic fertilizer once every 4 weeks. Trim your roses regularly to remove leaves, stems, and additional buds. Cut your roses when they reach 18–24 in (46–61 cm).

Article: If your water is in a glass or metal container (such as a thermos or a saucepan) and you notice condensation beginning to form, you’ll know that the water is colder than the surrounding air.  Roughly speaking, condensation will form more rapidly when the water is much colder than the air temperature. If you notice that condensation forms on the outside of a glass in 2 or 3 minutes, the water you’re dealing with is very cold. If the water in question is very cold and beginning to freeze, you’ll notice that a small layer of ice has begun to form around the edges. Water that is beginning to freeze will be very near 32 °F (0 °C), although it may still be a couple of degrees warmer, in the range of 33 to 35 °F (1 to 2 °C). If you’re looking at a bowl of water in your freezer, for example, you’ll notice small pieces of ice starting to form where the water meets the side of the bowl. This is an easy step that you can complete with a single glance. If the water is frozen (solid ice), its temperature is at or below 32 °F (0 °C).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look for condensation on the water container. Note if ice begins to form. Check if the water is frozen.

Article: An angle grinder is a power tool that is highly effective for breaking U-locks and most other kinds of locks. It's the most powerful and quick method of slicing though U-locks, but in order to handle it responsibly you need to take a few safety precautions. You practice and feel comfortable with your angle grinder before using it on your U-lock.   Put on work gloves to protect your hands, as well as goggles to stop any flyaway material from getting in your eyes. Don't wear any loose clothing or jewelry when you operate the angle grinder. Make sure that you are using the right sized disc for the grinder and that the grinder is able to go up to maximum speeds. If your U-lock is locked but not attached to anything, clamp it with a vice attached to a table. If the lock is fastened around a bicycle, adjust it so that when pressure is applied to it, it doesn't move but stays in relatively the same place. Hold your angle grinder using both hands at an angle of 15-30 degrees. Hold your angle grinder a few inches away from the U-lock and turn it on. Use both hands to hold the angle grinder and slowly bring the blade against one of the U-shaped sides of the U-lock. Don't be alarmed when you see sparks fly; even if they touch you they won't hurt you. Hold the blade against the side of the U-lock until it cuts through. This can take anywhere from 15 seconds to a few minutes.  Be very slow and deliberate when you use the angle grinder. Don't push or exert force with the grinder. Just hold the blade against the lock and wait as it chips away. If exert force while you cut, you will cut through the U-lock and then push angle grinder past it to cut whatever is behind the U-lock. If you are trying to take the U-lock off your bike or the handle of a door, you will need to create one more cut to be able to dislodge it. Use the same method to cut the U-lock as you did for the first cut, this time cutting through an area a few inches from the first cut. Stop when you complete the cut. After you finish using your angle grinder, turn it off. It's important as a safety precaution to turn it off immediately after you are finished using it. After you make the second cut, a section of the U-lock should have fallen away to make a gap in the lock. Take the U-lock off, store your angle grinder, and throw away the remains of your lock!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take the right safety precautions. Turn on and angle your angle grinder. Cut through the U-lock with the angle grinder. Make another cut a few inches from the first cut. Turn off the angle grinder and remove the U-lock.
