Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use this technique on hybrid tea roses, grandifloras, and floribundas. Bring in well-drained soil from outside your garden. Use a shovel to pile 1ft (30cm) of soil around the base of the plant. Secure the mound in place if you're expecting strong wind. Remove the soil gently in the spring when the ground starts to thaw.

Answer: These varieties require some extra work and insulation. The hilling technique insulates and covers the rose bush, keeping it frozen and protecting it from the sunlight and wind. You don't want to scrape up the soil around the plant, since this can damage the root system and decrease the plant's chances of survival. Instead, buy bagged, well-drained topsoil from a local gardening or home improvement store. "Well-drained" soil simply means it has a good structure, with gaps between the soil particles to allow air and water to flow easily. You can also use compost or straw in place of soil. If you live in a particularly cold area, you may want to add an additional straw cover to your topsoil or mulch. Fill your shovel with the well-drained soil you brought in earlier and mound it up around the base of the rose bush. Keep adding more soil until you've covered the canes with a small mound, about 1ft (30cm) high and 1ft (30cm) wide. If you use compost for your hilling mound, add another 6in (15cm) of compost or straw to the top and sides of the hill. To keep your hilling material from blowing away, you can add a layer of gutter screening, chicken wire, a commercial collar, or several layers of newspapers folded in half. This will hold everything in place and ensure proper insulation over the winter. If you don't secure your hilling materials, you may need to add more throughout the winter to replace what's blown away. Take away the securing layer and slowly pull back the soil, mulch, or straw mound. Spread it around the garden with a rake, like compost.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: State your position clearly. Adjust your wedding plans as needed. Create a plan for managing family interactions.

Answer: If you've tried communicating and compromising and there's simply no way that your parents will ever be able to embrace your fiance, you need to stand firm. Be clear that their disapproval will not change how you feel about your partner or your plans for a life together. Say something like, "Mom, Dad, this is my decision to make and your disapproval will not change it. I'm sorry you can't accept the person I love, but I love you too and always will." When you dreamed of your wedding day, it probably didn't include your parents sitting there stone-faced in disapproval or worse, not there at all. Don't ignore reality and expect everyone to embrace happily on the big day. Instead, make adjustments to your wedding plans to limit unnecessary interactions or even to account for your parents' absence. If, for instance, you're having a civil ceremony because your fiance doesn't share your religious background, and this upsets your traditionalist parents, don't try to force them to come. Tell them something like, "Remember, the ceremony is at 2 o'clock at the courthouse. I'll make sure there are seats for both of you if you decide to come. And I really hope you do." Once you're married, you'll have to continue to navigate the difficult relationship between your spouse and your parents. As before, honesty, open communication, and practical adjustments are key. Clear the air when necessary, seek out compromises, and be reasonable about limiting interactions when needed. For instance, go to family gatherings alone sometimes, or be clear beforehand that the two of you can only stay a set amount of time. You should also plan an exit strategy ahead of time in case things go sour quickly.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide what paper to use. Choose where to print. Deliver your PDF to the printer. Request a proof.

Answer: There are a few things to consider when choosing what paper to use for your poster. The weight of the paper and whether or not it is coated (glossy) are the two important things you need to decide. Posters are typically printed on paper with a greater weight like 24# or 28#. The bigger the poster, the thicker the paper should be. Coated paper works best for posters. Typically a silk or gloss coated paper is used on posters to make them resist dirt and smudges. A thicker coated paper will make brighter and more saturated colors pop. Different printers will have different expertise so you need to do some research before sending your poster to print. You want a printer that will work with you and be willing to answer all of the questions you might have. Ask people for recommendations for a good printer to use. Make sure they will print on the paper you want. Ask what their turnaround time is to make sure you can get your poster when you need it. Find out from the company that will be printing your poster how they would like you to get the pdf to them. If you prefer a certain method, you can ask them if they will let you use it. Most printers can accommodate different delivery methods. Email the PDF as an attachment. Upload the PDF to the company's website. Save the PDF on a zip drive or CD to bring to the store in person. It is extremely important to request a proof from your printer. This will ensure your poster will be printed looking just as you expect it to. You will be able to check the bleed and crop marks to see that they are correct. Most proofs will be a digital file sent to you. Sometimes you can request a paper proof for an additional charge. Some printers will let you check the poster as it is being printed. This is known as a "press pass" or a "pass on press". You can ask if this is allowed, however because of time constraints many printers don't practice this anymore.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Empathize. Show compassion. Give back.

Answer:
Empathy with another person conveys warmth, validation, and caring. It is the foundation of healthy relationships, building upon listening and respect. Empathy requires that we contribute our own similar experiences through conversation and reinforce values that we share with the other person. When someone views you as empathetic, they are more likely to confide, trust, and hold you in esteem, the foundational pillars of a good relationship. Practice empathy, not sympathy: Sympathy is a feeling a sadness inspired when we hear someone else's pain and focus on our own similar tragedies. Empathy keeps the focus on the other person, attempting to listen to and feel her pain, unique from your own. Compassion requires self-analysis to examine the causes of our own pain and inspires unwillingness to inflict that same pain on others. It means supporting the right of others to thrive and be happy, even if we do not always agree with their views. At its base level, compassion is an act of kindness that reassures others that we find them worthy and valuable. Try to enact compassion in your own life by: Offer compassion to those who have mistreated you: Perhaps the hardest act of compassion is to someone we are tempted to believe does not deserve it. The best thing to do is to put yourself in the other person's positions and imagine what events they have gone through that have produced the anger and pain they inflict on others. Allow yourself to feel empathy for that pain, and channel it into kindness and tolerance for that person. Focus on common ground: People are more alike than different. We all thrive on similar things love, trust, support, belonging. Just because these desires may manifest outwardly in unique ways does not mean that we are unalike. When you find yourself dwelling on difference, try to shift your focus back to similarities by reminding yourself that, like you, this person is seeking happiness, known suffering, seeks safety, and is still learning about the world. Reciprocity is an important component of developing strong connections with others.Think of ways that you can lift a burden from the shoulders of another, if only for a moment. Showing you are there for someone and really care for them can help deepen your relationship. Offer acts of kindness. For example, you babysit for free when a neighbor needs a night off from the kids, help a friend move, tutor your little sister in math. Do these things with no expectation of payment or reciprocity do it simply as a kindness. Do something nice for others. You could give a gift or words of encouragement. Show support by lending a helping hand or offering to assist in some way. Share responsibilities in roommate or shared housing situations (such as cleaning and paying bills, etc).
