Q: How wide you cut the strip depends on how tall you want the pot to be. You need to cut the strip wide enough to include the height of the finished pot and half of the jar's diameter. You may also want to add an additional to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) for the rim. You will need one strip for each pot. Fill the pot(s) with damp soil. Plant the seeds according to the depth indicated on the package. When it comes time to transplanting the seedlings, put the entire pot into the soil. The newspaper will decompose in the soil as the seedling continues to grow.
A: Cut a strip from a sheet of newspaper. Use the pot(s).

Article: Snow forts can be anything from a simple one-wall design to more complex fortresses with four walls and a roof. Part of this decision depends on how much snow you have. Take into account length, depth and height as you estimate the amount of snow you'll need. Four feet is usually an adequate height. Use a shovel or branch to mark out the fort's perimeter. If you're low on snow, opt for a single wall with two wings on either side. If you don't have one, make it! Use shoveled snow from the driveway or anywhere else. Test the snow by making a ball in your hands. If it sticks, the snow is prime for building. If not, see the next step for making your own denser snow. Pack Tupperware containers, coolers, or plastic buckets full of as much snow as will fit, invert, and lift off the container. Alternatively, pour cold water over the snow to make a layer of ice. If you're planning to dig a tunnel, leave a space with no water poured over it so you can dig more easily.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Think about what kind of structure you want to make. Measure the size of the fort. Find a good snowdrift. Make sure the snow is dense and not loose. Use snow bricks if you can't get strong snow.

Problem: Article: Just like a purse, wallet, trunk, or garage, the bigger a backpack is, the more stuff will be piled into it (and the heavier it will be). Forget about logos, designs, or brand names, and choose a well-constructed, age-appropriate pack that is the right size for your child. If that means doing the bag shopping without the kid, so be it. If you can't cinch the straps tight enough to stay snugly over the shoulders, or if the backpack sags well below the waistline when worn, it is probably too big for your child. A backpack that has padded straps and a padded back (that is, the side that makes contact with the kid's back) will be more comfortable and may help prevent pinched nerves in the neck area. Choose models with waist straps as well, as these help to ensure better weight distribution and pack stability. Check that the straps are made of strong material, are well attached to the bag, and have sturdy but easy-to-operate buckles. Leather straps, for instance, might be more fashionable, but often simply add more weight without adding strength. Check a backpack in use for frayed straps, ripped canvas, or broken buckles. Backpacks that have one giant pocket are more prone to be overloaded with an assortment of books and who-knows-what-else. Alternatively, packs with more compartments and pockets can help reduce the overall max load and ensure that the pack's weight is less prone to shifting out of balance, which can cause falls or back injuries. Backpacks with more compartments and/or pockets can also help a disorganized child find what he needs more quickly. The proliferation of overloaded backpacks, even among young children, has led to the development of packs with wheels and telescoping handles (akin to carry-on luggage). Such packs can reduce the likelihood of back or shoulder strains, but also can increase the likelihood of trip-and-fall injuries. They also tend to be heavier than traditional backpacks, which can cause increased strain when they need to be carried. Using a bag with wheels can also put stress on the shoulder of the arm that is pulling the bag. If your child currently uses a bag with wheels, it's best to make sure they alternate hands rather than using one hand all the time. Some school districts ban the use of wheeled backpacks because of the increased risk of students tripping over them in the hallway or on stairs. Check your school's policy before considering a purchase. Indeed, tripping is the most common cause of backpack-related injuries that require emergency room visits.
Summary: Know that bigger isn't always better. Look for padding and secure straps. Pick packs with more pockets. Consider the pros and cons of wheeled backpacks.

Q: If you want to seduce someone, do not be shy. Take the initiative to make the initial eye contact. This displays confidence, which many people find attractive. People tend to be interested in those who are interested in them. If you're making the effort to meet someone's gaze from across the room, this will intrigue them. Try to make eye contact first rather than waiting to be noticed. Look for cues that another person may be interested in you. Use this an opportunity to make initial eye contact. Cues can be subtle, like someone giving a quick glance in your direction. Women may sometimes run their fingers through their hair to convey attraction. If you're shy, start things off with a couple of brief glances. A double take definitely conveys interest. Try glances at someone briefly, looking away, and then glancing again. This can show a potential partner that you're attracted to them and want their attention. In addition to making direct eye contact, watching someone from the corner of your eyes can be helpful. If you've not yet had an opportunity to start a conversation, simply watch someone from the corner of your eyes for a few minutes. Spend 5 or 10 minutes side eyeing someone you find attractive. Be cool and do make it too obvious. See if this person is looking at you as well. It can help to side eye someone while laughing at something a friend said. Laughter is infectious and can be attractive to someone you're trying to seduce. A warm smile is conveyed by your eyes as well as your mouth. If someone meets your gaze from across the room, smile. A genuine smile can show someone you're friendly and would not mind being approached. Hold a person's gaze for a few moments and then offer a smile. Use your body to convey confidence in addition to your eyes. Matching a confident gaze with a confident helps bolster attraction. Keep your body relaxed and comfortable. Try to avoid tensing muscles. Stand up straight with your shoulders back slightly.
A:
Take the initiative to make eye contact. Start with a couple of brief glances. Watch someone from the corner of your eyes. Smile. Match eye contact with confident body language.
