Article: The rootstock must be hardy in your area. You can plant an apple tree from seedling to use as rootstock, but you will have to wait several years to create a sturdy plant. Rootstock must be suited to your climate and local insects. Ask your local nursery about purchasing rootstock. This is the best way to ensure your type of rootstock is well suited to grafting. Discuss the varieties of scion that work well with the type of rootstock you buy when you purchase the stock from the nursery. Keep it moist, in cool conditions through the winter. Although rootstock is sold when it is a few years old, it can be purchased just before you graft. The diameters of the branches have to match; however a graft with a thinner scion might be successful, as well. Grafting success increases with practice, so you may need to cut several scion and rootstock branches before you are successful.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Plant apple trees that are known to grow well in your area. Opt to purchase rootstock in place of seedlings. Plant rootstock in pots until you are ready to use it. Ensure your rootstock and scion will be compatible in diameter. Buy several root stocks at once.

Problem: Article: Autistic children frequently have sensory processing differences, which can be stressful or even painful. Applying deep pressure causes muscles to relax. Try wrapping your child snugly in a blanket or lay several blankets across them. The weight of the blankets will create soothing pressure, but be sure not to cover their face to prevent interfering with breathing. You can order or create tools designed to provide deep pressure online. Weighted blankets, toys, vests, and lap pads are all possibilities. Massage is a good way for you to interact with your child, while applying deep pressure, which may strengthen the parent-child relationship. Position the child between your legs. Cup your hands on the child's shoulders and apply pressure. Then, move your hands slowly over their arms and shoulders. If you do not feel comfortable, consider asking a massage therapist for tips. Or, ask someone you know who gives really good back rubs. A pillow press is done by positioning the child on a soft surface such as a pillow or a couch cushion. Let the child lie or sit down, then use a second pillow or cushion to apply deep pressure to the torso, arms and legs in a slow pulsating manner. Never cover the child's face to prevent accidental suffocation.
Summary: Apply deep pressure. Give your child a deep pressure massage. Try a pillow press.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add cup (100 g) of brown sugar, cup (85 g) of honey, cup (80 g) of orange marmalade jam, 2 tablespoons (30 g) of coarse mustard, and 1 tablespoon (15 g) of spicy brown mustard to a small saucepan. Allow the mixture to heat on the stove on medium low until the sugar dissolves, which should take 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk the mixture constantly as it heats to help the sugar dissolve. Set an 8 pound (3.6 kg) spiral sliced ham in a large slow cooker. Use a pastry or basting brush to apply the glaze all over the ham, and pour some of it between the layers of the meat. Set the lid on the slow cooker, and turn it on at low heat. Allow the ham to cook for 6 to 8 hours. You'll know the ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140F (60C). Use a digital thermometer to check on the meat starting at the 6 hour mark. While the ham is cooking, check on it every two hours. Apply more of the glaze if desired to ensure that the meat is as flavorful as possible. When the ham is finished cooking in the slow cooker, carefully remove it and place it on an oven-safe platter. Next, preheat the oven's broiler for 3 to 5 minutes. Take 1 cup (237 ml) of the cooking liquid from the bottom of the slow cooker and transfer it to a small saucepan. Heat it on the stove over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes. After the cooking liquid has simmered for several minutes, begin mixing 1 to 3 teaspoons (3 to 9 g) of cornstarch into the pan. Add it 1 teaspoon (3 g) at a time, mixing it in well until it reaches your desired thickness. Once the glaze has thickened enough, brush it over the ham. Be sure to apply some between the layers of meat so the ham has plenty of flavor. Set the ham on the second to lowest rack in the oven under the broiler. Allow it to broil for 5 to 10 minutes or until the glaze becomes shiny and thick. When the ham has broiled long enough, take it out of the oven. Allow it to cool for 3 to 5 minutes, and serve while it's still warm.

SUMMARY: Heat the brown sugar, honey, marmalade, and mustards until the sugar dissolves. Place the ham inside a slow cooker and baste the ham with the glaze. Cover the slow cooker and cook the ham for several hours. Baste the ham every couple of hours. Transfer the ham to an oven-safe platter and preheat the broiler. Add some of the cooking liquid to a pan and simmer it for several minutes. Mix the cornstarch into the liquid until it thickens. Brush the thickened mixture onto the ham. Broil the ham for several minutes until the glaze is shiny. Remove the ham from the oven and serve.

Research speakers and see when to use different types. Find out which cords plug into mics and which ones go between soundboards and amps. You need to know how to set up all kinds of sound equipment. You can learn these things online through tutorial videos and also in person when you can work with sound people. Some sound equipment is the same as it was years ago, but many other technologies are continuing to evolve. Staying current on your knowledge is vital. You need to know how mix and edit in music software like Pro Tools and Cubase. If you can, purchase one of these programs and begin exploring what they can do and practice editing songs. Pick a song you like and import it into the software. Practice splitting the song into parts and changing pitches and volumes. Not all sound engineers mix new music tracks, but being able to do it will make you more versatile. It will take time to learn all of the things you can do, but it's important to start building a foundation. Because sound engineers work with so many types of electrical equipment, you will need to learn some basic electrical safety. Learn about basic electricity, such as the difference between voltage and current. You will need to know how many pieces of equipment can be plugged into a specific power strip so you don't blow a fuse or ruin the equipment. Taking classes in physics, for example, is a good place to start. If classes are not an option, consider an electrical safety training seminar. If you are still in school, you have access to some opportunities that others don't. Try to get involved with the theater program, which most likely uses a sound system during plays. Productions are often mostly run by students anyway, so this is an easy way to get hands on experience in a low key setting. In college, you also have some opportunities to get involved in running sound, even if you aren't studying it. Check in with your campus theater and see what they require for their sound people. Find out if you could start working with someone who already does it and learn from them. While you can learn on the job and get lots of experience, earning a degree shows your commitment to learning. It shows that you can work hard on something until it is complete. A degree also shows that you have been properly trained in the field. While it may not be mandatory for some jobs, it's going to make you look better to those looking to hire quality engineers. A typical degree might be an Associate's or Bachelor's of Science in Audio Engineering. The degree might also be called Sound Engineering. These degrees will tend to be a mix of music, business, and technical classes which serve to give you a well-rounded education in the field.
