Problem: Article: Once the seedlings have established themselves, then the plants out so that there are 2 feet (0.61m) between them. If you are growing the plants in containers or otherwise want the plants to remain short and stunted, it is possible to leave only 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) between each seedling. Wait until the stems of the seedlings have already developed two sets of leaves before thinning them out. Keep the healthiest, strongest looking plants and remove the weakest. Four o'clock flowers are somewhat drought-resistant, but the should not be allowed to remain dry for more than a day or two. Try to give the plants at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water weekly, either by rainfall or hand watering with a hose or watering can. Note that flowers grown in a container will require more regular waterings than those grown outdoors. Choose a water-soluble, all-purpose floral fertilizer and apply it before a rainfall or when you water the plants. Choose a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer, which contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This type of fertilizer will promote an overall even state of health for the plant. Four o'clock flowers rarely have problems with insects and diseases, so pre-treatment for such conditions is highly discouraged. If problems do develop, treat the plants with an appropriate pesticide or fungicide. The product can either be organic or chemical. Each bush should grow a large tuber below ground. If you live in mild climates, you should be able to leave this tuber in the ground without causing damage to the plant. If you live in notably cold climates, however, you should dig it up in the late fall. Store the tubers in between layers of newspaper in cardboard boxes or wooden crates. You can also store the tubers in peat moss or sand. Do not use plastic containers or other closed boxes, since these can encourage the tubers to rot. Place the tubers in a garage, shed, or similar environment. They should remain dry and dark throughout the winter. Replant the tubers in the spring. Dig a hole large enough for the tuber in the same location it once grew. Place the tuber back in the ground, cover with soil, and care for the plant as before. If you do not want to dig up the tuber, you can usually protect it over the winter by covering the planting area with 1 or 2 inches (2.5 or 5 cm) of organic mulch. Organic mulch can include leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and newspaper. The mulch provides insulation and keeps the soil a little warmer. Note that in notably cold climates, mulch may not be enough to protect the tuber over the winter. If you are growing the plants in containers, it is also recommended that you spread mulch on top of the container during the spring or summer to help reduce the amount of water evaporation that takes place. This can help prevent the soil from drying out too severely.
Summary: Thin out the seedlings. Keep the soil moist. Apply a mild fertilizer monthly. Treat for insects and diseases only as needed. Consider digging up the tubers before winter. Consider covering the area with mulch.

Problem: Article: Minecraft allows you to easily start multiplayer games if you are all connected to the same local network. If you're at home, chances are all of your computers are connected to one network. Things may be a little more complicated in a school or work environment. Click here for details on configuring a network. You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to connect multiple remote computers together on one network. This can be great for getting friends from different places together without having to create a server. Click here for details on setting up a VPN for you and your friends. In order to connect to the game, all players must be playing the same version of Minecraft. Decide which computer will be starting the game, and then use the profile editor on all the computers to set the version to match. Start the Minecraft Launcher and click the Edit Profile button. Select the correct version from the "Use version" drop-down menu. This computer will be referred to as the "host", and should probably be whichever computer is most powerful. Load up one of your worlds in single-player mode on the host. Once the world has loaded, you can open the game up to anyone on your local network through the Pause menu. This will begin the process for setting up the network game, and a new menu will appear. You can choose between Survival, Adventure, and Creative modes, as well as toggle cheat codes on or off. Click the buttons to switch between options. The other computers on your network will now be able to connect to your game. Make sure that the computer is connected to the network, and that it is running the same version of Minecraft that the host computer is running. Minecraft will scan your network for any active games. The host computer Minecraft game should appear on the list. If the game doesn't appear, click the Direct Connect button and then enter the local IP address for the host computer. Click here for details on finding the IP address of the host. Your display should say LAN World above the game name. After selecting and joining, the world will load and you can begin playing. Once all of the players have joined, they may find themselves far away from the host, especially if the host has done a lot of exploring in the game already. The host can teleport each of the players so that they can all play together. On the host computer, press T to open the chat window, and then type /tp PlayerName HostName and press Enter. This will teleport the player named PlayerName to the host. Repeat this for all of the players. Make sure each of the players sleeps in a bed in your new location. This will ensure that they spawn there if they die.
Summary: Ensure that all of the computers are connected to the same local network. Ensure all players are running the same version of Minecraft. Start a game on one of the computers. Press the Escape key to open the Pause menu. Click Open to LAN. Decide on your multiplayer game settings. Click Start LAN World to begin the multiplayer session. Start Minecraft on the second computer. Click the Multiplayer button on the Minecraft main menu. Select the game and click Join Server. Have the host teleport all of the players together.

Problem: Article: Though it may seem obvious, reading the label on an item is a sure fire way to identify the type of leather. Products made of real leather will proudly say so on the label. If the label says, "vinyl" or "manmade materials," the item is faux. Examine the edges of the furniture or garment. Look at any place where the material has been sewn. Fake leather products will have a smooth, pristine edge that can feel almost plastic. Genuine leather will have a rougher, imperfect look around the edges. Take a close look at the pores (or small dots) of the fabric. You may have to look closely to see them. Faux leather will have pores in a perfect, consistent pattern. Real leather will have irregular, sporadically placed pores. Genuine leather can feel coarse, smooth, or somewhere in-between. Real leather is also flexible and soft. If the product in question feels very smooth or feels like plastic, it is probably faux leather. Synthetic leather can also be a bit stretchy. Familiarize yourself with leather textures by visiting a reputable leather store and getting a feel for both products. Real leather has a very distinct smell. It really cannot by replicated by faux materials. Real leather smells earthy. Faux leather may have no odor, or smell a bit like plastic. Once again, you can familiarize yourself by visiting a reputable leather store and getting a smell of both kinds of products.
Summary: Read the label. Inspect the edge. Examine pores. Trust your touch. Smell the item.
