INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Complimenting your boyfriend is a simple and effective method of flirting. It's sometimes fun to tease your boyfriend, but you should compliment him too. Your boyfriend will appreciate knowing what you like about him, and it will boost his confidence. Let him that you think he looks nice, that you like his hair, or give him praise when he has done well on a test. Make the compliments specific to him. Think about what he likes, and what he does well. Tell him he does a great job in gym class if he's into sports. Let him know that you really liked his English essay if he enjoys writing. Compliment him, but don't overdo it. Too many compliments can seem insincere. Most everyone has a phone nowadays, so passing a note can seem a little out-of-date. The fact that note passing isn't as common is what makes it fun and flirty. It's different from the usual, and it takes more thought and effort than sending a quick message through social media or text. Take a piece of paper from your notebook, write a message, fold it up, and hand it to him during an appropriate time. Do not pass a note during class, or you might get in trouble. Wait to pass a note in the hall or during lunch. The note can say anything you want. Short and sweet is flirtier than a sappy, long love letter, though. You can write "I've been thinking about you," or "You look really awesome today." Most people like to talk about themselves and enjoy when someone shows interest in them. You might already know quite a bit about your boyfriend, but there is always more to learn. If he is talking, ask questions about what he is talking about. You can also ask questions about his past, his daily life, and his interests. If he is talking about a game he played, ask him to tell you more about how the game is played. Ask about what he likes to do after school, what he wants to do when he gets older, and what his favorite childhood memory is. A sense of humor is always attractive. It shows that you don't take things too seriously, that you know how to laugh and make people laugh, and you have the ability to let things go. Don't be afraid to tell jokes or laugh when you find something funny. You can also find the humor in whatever situation you find yourself in with your boyfriend. Find the humor in common things. Joke about the weather, about class, or something that happened in school. Think about your and your boyfriend's sense of humor. What makes you laugh? What makes your boyfriend laugh? Those are the things you will want to joke and laugh about. Sending notes is fun, but sometimes it is easier to send a flirty text. You don't have to wait for him to send you a message. You can message him first. Don't send a simple "hi." Instead, send him a sweet or funny opening text, like "I saw you falling asleep in class today." Use emoticons, especially the winks. Send him a text that you were happy to see him in class, or that you are looking forward to seeing him. Don't text him back immediately when he responds. Wait at least a few minutes. Avoid sending a text in class. Wait for an appropriate time. Make plans to continue your flirting outside of school. It's okay to ask him to hang out or go on a date after school. You can ask do to something specific, or leave it open-ended. Boyfriends will often appreciate when the other person takes initiative to ask them out. You can leave it open-ended by asking "What are you doing after school or this weekend?" Be specific by saying "I've been wanting to see this movie. Do you want to go with me?" Ask your parents permission if you are not yet at an appropriate dating age.

SUMMARY: Compliment him. Pass him a note in the hall. Ask questions. Show off your sense of humor. Send him a text. Ask him out.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look for and only use brown acorns, as these are ripe; green acorns are unripe and are unsuitable for eating (but mature green acorns can ripen in a clean, dry place). Avoid any acorns that appear mildewed, dusty, blackened, etc. Quality nutmeat will be yellowish in colour.Unprocessed, natural nuts of various kinds of oaks: White oaks produce bland tasting acorns. The best for harvesting are the swamp white oak, Oregon white oak, and the burr oak. Generally, these won't need leaching. Red oaks produce bitter tasting acorns. The Emory oak's acorns are mild enough to not require processing. Black oaks produce very bitter tasting acorns and need a lot of leaching to overcome this. Untreated raw acorns contain high concentrations of tannic acid, causing their taste to be bitter and them to be toxic to humans if eaten in large quantities. It is possible to remove the tannic acid by simply leaching it out of acorns in a pot of boiling water, pouring out the hot water and having repeated changes of water. Continue doing this until the water does not turn brown after you have strained and replaced it. Another method for leaching: place one tablespoon of baking soda into one litre of water. Leave the acorns to soak in the baking soda infused water for 12-15 hours. A Native American or rustic method is bagging the nuts and allowing them to soak in a clean, flowing stream for a few days until no brown-colored water is seen when checking their progress. Raw acorns can be stored for months without spoiling; this dramatically increases their value, being a "process as needed food resource", however, they must be dry or otherwise they can get moldy and mildewed. But only when leached are they ready to use.

SUMMARY: Gather your ripe acorns. Leach the acorns of tannins. Remove the acorns once leached and leave to simply dry or to make roasted nuts after drying, as desired.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Red is a primary color, so you cannot create it by mixing any other colors. Primary colors are colors that exist on their own and do not contain traces of any other color. Aside from red, the other primary colors are blue and yellow. Even though you cannot make pure red, you can still make other hues of red by mixing pure red with other colors. You can change the value of any red hue in a similar manner.

SUMMARY: Know that you cannot make red.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: for a banana that is yellow and lightly speckled with small brown or black spots. Some people prefer the firmer yellow-all-over stage; some prefer the softer, sweeter, stronger-flavored yellow-and-brownish stage. If the banana is not ripe, you can leave it on a warm counter for a day or two. If you are in an in-closed area, such as a room, throw it away in a closed bag or closed trashcan, otherwise the banana will fill the room with its odor. Alternatively, you can also save the banana peel to use as compost in your garden.

SUMMARY:
Buy a ripe banana. Get rid of the skin.
