Problem: Article: Fill a pot with tap water and put it on your stove over high heat. Let the water heat up completely until it comes to a rolling boil. Turn the heat to low to let the water simmer before moving on. You can also use purified or filtered water if you're worried about any foreign substances in your tap water. Once the rooting hormone is completely cooled, put the cuttings in the pot so the bottom 12 inches (2.55.1cm) are submerged. Let the cuttings soak for at least 2-3 hours before putting them in a growing medium so they can absorb the solution. You can also dip the end of your cutting in honey before planting it in the ground for an additional layer of protection from fungus and bacteria.
Summary: Boil 2c (470ml) of water before reducing the heat. Soak plant cuttings in the honey solution for 2-3 hours before planting them.

Problem: Article: Open the file of the picture you want to edit. Go to the "Image" selection. Scroll down to "Adjustments." Highlight this option. Another selection box will open. One of the choices is "Curves." Select this option. This will open a graph like box with a line in the middle of it. By moving the line upward, you will notice the picture becomes brighter. By moving the line downward, the picture becomes darker. Once you achieve the desired result, go to the "File" menu option and click the "Save As" option.
Summary: Open Adobe Photoshop CS2. Use your mouse to click on the line in the middle of the graph. Move the line up or down to the correct the amount of brightness within the picture.

Problem: Article: Negative space refers to the elements of a composition where there isn't an object or subject (like the dark shadows in an alley, or the empty parts of a blue sky). Using a lot of negative space will change the way your viewer interprets the subject of your photo, while avoiding negative space entirely will make your image feel claustrophobic and confrontational. You can always crop your image in editing, so try to start out with more negative space when using your camera. A balance between negative space and subjects or objects results in an even composition, but that's not always what you want! Framing refers to the specific location of a camera when a shot was taken. Framing is used to talk about the order of images inside a composition in terms of a focal point, foreground, and background. When you choose to focus on a particular object or subject and ignore others, you're choosing how you want to frame your photo. When you've decided to photograph something, play around with framing by changing where you're shooting from and modifying the amount of negative space in your image. A focal point is where your eye immediately travels when you look at an image. The foreground refers to the objects in the front of your picture, while the background is a term that refers to all of the objects that are farther away. Look for natural frames, like doorways, windows, and bushes, and use them to play with perspective in an interesting way by shooting around them. The rule of thirds is a common method used for making smart framing decisions. Basically, imagine a 3 by 3 grid of vertical and horizontal lines in your camera. Try to keep important elements and focal points at the intersections between your vertical and horizontal lines.}} Avoid putting your subject dead-center in your image. This is an extremely traditional framing choice and your photograph won't appear unique or interesting. People will naturally change their behavior in front of a camera. They'll smile, look directly at the lens, and stand unnaturally. None of these behaviors make for interesting photos. If you're shooting people, wait for them to relax before snapping your image. Just make sure that you always have permission from the person that you're photographing! Setting the aperture between f/7 and f13 will result in an image with a balanced sharpness between the foreground and background. Use an aperture in this range when shooting landscapes to ensure that you pick up on a variety of details across the entire range of your shot. A tripod keeps your camera from moving or shaking when the lens is open. This is important when you're using a higher aperture, since the shutter speed will need to be higher to compensate for the f-stop.
Summary: Use negative space as a visual element in your photos. Use framing techniques to shift the focus in your photo. Apply the rule of thirds to create balanced images. Wait for your subject to relax when shooting portraits. Use a tripod and higher f-stop setting for landscape shots.

Problem: Article: and press the button on top of the productivity clock so that it starts counting time on the idle clock. This is because you first arrive at work and do things like say hello to people and organise your desk from when the cleaners came through and messed everything up. This isn't productive. You will know when this is. Note this in a log. You can even work out the percentage of time wasted.
Summary:
Get to work quickly Press the button on top of the idle clock so it starts the counter on the productivity clock. Keep it that way until you think you've stopped being productive. At the end of the day you will have a precise measurement of both productive and idle time at work. You should remember to reset the clock for the next day upon deciding to begin the journey from Work to your Home.
