Article: Some types of pine trees used for landscaping include white pine, jack pine and Scotch pine. Ask the seller about growing environments if you live in a different climate or at a different elevation than the location where the seedling was grown. Bare-root pine seedlings must be planted during the late fall and winter, when pine trees are dormant. Container-grown seedlings can be planted at any time, although the hottest summer months will require additional shade and water to prevent dehydration and sun damage. Most seedlings can be kept for several weeks between 35 and 38 F (1.7 3.3C), but you should check with the seller in case the species you bought has different requirements. Keep the roots damp until you are ready to plant, but refrain from soaking them in water, which could kill them. If the roots form a dense ball, or circle the sides the of the container, carefully rearrange the main root branches so they are more spread out. Some seedlings are sold with a small amount of soil mixture packed around the roots. Try to keep as much of this on the roots as possible while rearranging. Each pine tree should have plenty of open space, with no small plants around its base and no root systems of other trees nearby. Choose a location where the tree will receive direct sunlight during the cooler parts of the day. If you cannot plant a pine tree somewhere with shade on its west side, instructions are included below for creating a sun shade. A mix of sand and loam is best for pine trees, but you should only need to mix in suitable organic mulch such as sphagnum if the soil is a hard clay consistency. Choose an area with well-draining soil. A 1 foot (30cm) deep hole filled with water should drain easily within 12 hours. If it does not, you may need to install drainage. Do not plant trees when conditions are windy, dry, or above 85F (30C). The soil should not have standing water or ice on the day you plant, but should not be parched either. The top layer of soil is the highest quality, so fill the bottom few inches (about 10 cm) with topsoil after you dig your hole. Be sure to dig the hole large enough that the roots still fit after you've added the topsoil. Warning: Contact your utility company to discover the location of underground lines before digging any large holes. Try to plant the tree to the same level it was planted in the nursery. If you're unsure, it is better to plant the tree too high than too low. If you're planting more than one pine tree, be sure to leave at least 10 to 12 feet (3 to 4m) of spacing so they can grow to mature width without any obstruction. Some varieties of pine may need even more space, like the huge Austrian pine. Although burlap and other biodegradable material can be left on the plant, carefully removing it gives the seedling a better opportunity for growth. Fill the hole again after planting, periodically patting down loose soil with your shovel handle, not with your feet. Fill the hole until it is level with the surrounding soil, or slightly lower if the climate is especially dry, so water can run into the roots. Have an assistant hold the tree upright while you fill the hole if necessary. . Staking pine tree seedlings is only necessary in areas of unusually high wind. If you think the pine tree is in danger of blowing over, use one or two stakes attached by ties or straps, and leave enough room for the tree to sway. Do not loop wire directly over the tree. You may need to provide a sunscreen for your small pine tree by using a tarp or sheet of painted plywood. Planting where there is shade from another tree or a building is also a practical choice. The shade should be on the west side of the tree, which is where the sun is located during the hottest parts of the day.

Choose the species of pine that is the best for your soil and your climate. Decide between using bare-root seedlings or seedlings grown in a container. Lightly water the root system and rearrange it if necessary. Choose the right area to plant your pine tree. Choose a good day for planting. Dig a hole larger than the root system and fill the bottom with topsoil. Remove the container or burlap from the seedling. Place the pine tree roots carefully at the bottom and cover with soil. Lightly stake only if the tree cannot support itself Protect young pines from hot sun.
Article: Sometimes your need for space can be more serious than simply "needing to recharge." If someone's actions upset you and that is why you want space from them, wait until you've cooled off to let them know. You'll be able to articulate better why you need space when you're feeling more level-headed. Especially if the conversation may grow heated, it is a good idea to rehearse the conversation ahead of time. Make an outline of your most important points. What do you need your friend to know? Once you have your outline, practice speaking in the mirror. You can always bring the outline with you if you think you may forget an important point. No matter how you go about it, the important thing is just to say what you need to say. Preparation is only effective up to a point. After that, you have to take the leap. Don't over think it and don't put it off. Just pick up the phone and call. You can always do this in person too, if it is easier for you. Avoid doing this online, however, as your words and intent could get misinterpreted. If you feel that your friend is frequently overwhelming your space or if you don't feel like your requests for space are being heard, you may need to set some boundaries. Healthy boundaries are the foundation of a healthy friendship. Explain which behaviors are okay, and which others are not. For example, maybe it is okay for them to email or call, but not okay from them to drop by unannounced. If you want to sever the friendship permanently, it's important to voice it. Don't put it off and give them false hope. Your need for space will not evaporate. When you need space, make sure you get it. Subtle approaches may work sometimes, but sometimes you need to be more direct. In those cases, you may need to assert your need for space more than once. Keep at it! Claiming the space you need is a powerful act of self-love!

Wait until you're not angry. Practice what you are going to say. Just say it. Establish boundaries. Be persistent.
Article: Stable paper airplanes fly farther and faster. Paper airplanes typically benefit from adding what's known as up elevator. Take the back end of the airplane, which on a standard dart-shaped plane is the wing tips, and use your finger to bend them upwards a little. This counterbalances the weight in the nose of your plane. Most planes also benefit from a little weight in the nose. This helps balance the plane so it doesn't have a tendency to fly straight up. Cover the nose in a layer or two of tape or add a paper clip. Test out out the plane and make adjustments as necessary. Most airplanes are better off being slightly nose heavy rather than slightly tail heavy. Heavier planes are better at withstanding outdoor flight. Bending the wing tips downwards is only useful for planes that try to fly upwards when launched. Use your fingers to bend them down slightly. Try throwing the plane again. If this isn't enough to balance it, you can try adding more weight to the nose of the plane. Slightly bend the end of the tail to the left. If your tail has two sides, bend the left side up and the right side down. When the air hits the bends, the plane will change the plane's direction. If your plane has a single, vertical edge for a tail, bend it to the right. Otherwise, pull the right side up and the left side down. These bends will correct the airflow to cause a more stable flight.
