Problem: Article: The stem is the piece that slides into the steering tube and then attaches to the handlebars. Loosen the bolts on the handlebar stem. Slide the stem on to the top of the steering tube. Center a spacer over the hole. After that:  Grease the compression bolt (the threaded bolt that screws in and keeps the stem attached to the steering tube), and insert it into the hole in the stem. Twist it into place or tighten it on with the appropriate Allen wrench. Tighten the bolts that you loosened on the stem, gradually tightening one then the other so they are evenly and snugly attached. You can install the stem on the handlebars separately and then attach the entire assembly to the fork afterward. First, loosen the clamping bolts on the stem and remove the front face plate. Then:  Place the body of the stem on the ground groove up. Rest the handlebars into the groove. Replace the face plate so that it wedges the handlebar in between the two stem pieces, and use the bolts to fasten the face plate back to the body of the stem. Tighten the bolts in an X pattern, applying even pressure to each bolt. Do this if you attached the stem right to the frame. Center the handlebars, and then attach the face plate to the body of the stem with clamping bolts. Snug them up evenly in an X pattern, but don't worry about tightening them all the way. You will be properly adjusting the handlebars later, once the bike is more complete. Align the handlebars so they are parallel with the fork.  If you installed the stem on the handlebars separately, now attach the assembly to the rest of the bike. Position the handlebars and stem onto the steering tube. Grease the compression bolt and insert it. Twist it into place or fasten it with an Allen wrench.  Install your gyro at this time if you are using one. Set the seat post clamp on top of the seat tube. Grease the inside of the seat tube (or the seat post) and insert the seat post into the seat tube. Adjust the seat to the appropriate height. Align the seat so the nose runs parallel with the frame and tighten the bolts on the seat clamp. Your seat doesn't have to be in the perfect position right now, and you can always adjust it later on. But do make sure the maximum height line is below the seat tube, otherwise you risk damaging the stem.
Summary: Attach the handlebar stem to the frame. Affix the stem to the handlebars first as an alternative. Insert the handlebars into the stem. Install the seat post.

Problem: Article: If you're going to make LGBT+ friends, it helps to know how to be a good friend, and what ignorant remarks to avoid. Your friends already have to deal with enough prejudice in the world, and they don't need any more from you (even if it's accidental). On TV and in films, the relationship seems to be all about one character and how their gay friend is always coming to the rescue. Obviously real life relationships don’t work like that, so when it comes to your new friendship, treat it as you would any other relationship.    Be a good listener. Perhaps your friend is going through a tough time or is trying to work out their own relationship issues. Remember that it’s a give and take relationship, with your supportive input being just as vital.  Don’t stereotype. If your new friend is gay, they won't automatically like fashion, shopping, or other stereotypical interests. Take time to know them for who they are, and find what you have in common.  Take an interest in their passions or dreams. One of the great aspects of friendship is sharing common interests while also learning more about each other's. For example, if your friend is a marathon runner, be the number one cheerleader at the finish line or attempt to enter one yourself. Or, if beach clean-up efforts are your friend’s passion, be the first one at the beach with rake in hand.  Support them. During times of crisis, who do you turn to? Your best friend, of course. Be the kind of BFF that your new friend can lean on and depend upon during times of crisis or emergency. Some people are worried about facing discrimination, so even if they tell you about their orientation, they might not be ready for other people to know. Don't talk about your friend's orientation unless they have told you it's okay.  It may be worth asking them who they've come out to. For example, maybe they're out at school and with their sister, but not with the rest of their family. While over time some friendships do change, the ultimate aim is to be with your best friends always, learning from them, growing and changing with them and always been there, whatever distance and changes occur between you.
Summary: Learn about LGBT+ issues. Develop a relationship that is a two-way street. Avoid outing your LGBT+ friend without consent. Be prepared to be there for the long haul.

Problem: Article: You will use 5 of the 6 socks from the pairs to make the blooms for the corsage.  Be sure to save the 6th sock so that the mother-to-be can use all 3 pairs for her baby. This design will also be suitable for either a lapel or a wrist corsage after the greenery and ribbon are attached. Start at the base, or toe, of the sock and roll inward. Hold the blooms in one hand and grab the five wires directly below the blooms with the other hand. Twist the five wires together until you reach the ends. Leave about 3” (8 cm) of wire trailing from the sock. Cut off the remaining wire. ” This will make the baby sock blooms look fuller. The blooms will now be facing forward, not upward. Twist the florist’s wire together to hold them in place. This will also minimize the sharpness of the wire which could tear the sock or be uncomfortable to wear.
Summary:
Choose 3 pairs of baby socks. Roll each sock into a rosebud. Wrap florist’s wire around the center of the rosebud. Pull gently on the top of the rosebud to  loosen the “petals. Bend the wire at a 90° angle right against the sock fabric. Arrange the blooms. Wrap the twisted wire in florist’s tape for added security.
