article: Tea plants are slow growers. You won't be harvesting tea in the first couple of years. You may be able to get a tiny harvest in the second year, but it won't be much. Starting in the third year, you'll be able to start harvesting. By year 5, you'll be able to harvest regularly. Your plants will stop growing in the winter. When spring arrives, you'll see new shoots appearing on your plants. This time of growth is called a "flush." When the flush happens, that's your signal to start your harvest. To harvest your tea, simply latch onto the first 2 bright green leaves that appear during the flush. Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the leaves gently, and then pluck them away from the plant. These early leaves are the only ones you want to harvest for tea. Healthy tea plants can live to be 50 to 100 years old! As long as you maintain them properly, you'll be able to harvest tea from your plants for years to come. Follow the yearly cycle of care: fertilize and harvest in the spring, prune in the fall, and protect them from frost in the winter.

article: Investigate different martial arts to find one that captures your interest. There are hundreds upon hundreds of styles from all over the world, from traditional arts like Hung Gar, pencak silat, and Shorin-ryu karate to more sport-oriented disciplines like kickboxing, judo, kendo, and mixed martial arts (MMA). Each style distinguishes itself through its collection of techniques, tactics, training methods, and philosophical approach to combat and physical wellness. Once you've researched a wide variety of styles, narrow down your search to the ones that are taught in your area so you'll know what options are available to you. When comparing various disciplines, take your own physical strengths and limitations into consideration. For example, wushu is a dynamic style well-suited to young, athletic students, whereas a softer art like aikido may be better for people who have a history of injury. Enroll in classes and get started on your journey. Absorb everything you can, making an effort to understand not just the performance of each technique but the intent behind it. It's important for you to take your training seriously if your goal is to eventually teach others. New students should make an effort to practice for a minimum of 3-5 hours a week. Put particular emphasis on the basics. These will serve as the foundation for everything you'll learn from here on out, in business as well as martial arts. Train hard to earn your first degree black belt, or an equivalent rank in your respective style. Until then, put aside thoughts of teaching. Your main focus at this stage should be sharpening your own skills. Prospective students will be more willing to learn from an instructor who has demonstrated competency in their art. In most styles with ranking and promotion systems, attaining a basic level of mastery can take anywhere from 4-6 years. Kukkiwon Taekwondo, for instance, promotes students based on their ability to perform key techniques, which may be done in as little as 3 years, depending on your work ethic. By contrast, jiu-jitsu is a discipline where progression is notoriously slow, often taking as long as 10 years. As an instructor, you'll not only be responsible for helping students develop their technical proficiency, but imparting some of the unique cultural character of your style. Martial arts are many thingshistory, philosophy, art, ritual, and lifestyle. Each of these aspect has an important role to play in the discipline, and should not be neglected. Traditional martial arts are often viewed as a kind of heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. It's often necessary to understand the history of a style in order to understand how it has evolved to its current form.

Write an article based on this "Think about what happens when your partner fights with you. Track physical attacks that your partner has made. Look for signs of physical abuse. Count how many times you've had a "honeymoon" period. Count when you need to cover bruises or other injuries. Understand that physical abuse is usually accompanied by other abuse. Realize that physical abuse may not happen immediately."

Fights occur from time to time in relationships. An abusive partner might call what they do "fighting," but it's much more than that. The yelling, the hitting, slapping, punching, pinching, and choking are not a result of disagreements, but a "pattern of behavior" your partner uses to control you. Physical attacks can vary greatly. They can happen just once in a while, or they can happen with great frequency. They can also vary in severity. They can also be a one-time incident. The physical attacks may occur in a pattern, or can be an apparent, or a constant, underlying or overt threat. They can also make you fear for your safety or the safety of the people, things, or even pets you love. When this is the case, physical abuse can permeate and affect every aspect of your life. Keep in mind that physical attacks can "cycle." This means that there can be a period of calm, followed by an escalation, and then the attack. After the attack, the entire cycle can begin again. The actual acts of physical violence might seem like they are self-explanatory or too obvious to mention, but for people who grew up getting hit, they might not realize that this is not a normal, healthy behavior. Some of the signs of physical abuse are: Pulls your hair. Punches, slaps, or kicks you. Bites or chokes you. Denies you the right to meet your basic needs, such as food and sleep Breaks your belongings or the things in your home, such as throws your dishes, punch holes in the walls. Threatens you with a knife or gun, or uses a weapon on you. Physically bars you from leaving, calling 911 for help, or going to the hospital. Physically abuses your children. Kicks you out of your car and leaves you in strange places. Drives aggressively and in a dangerous manner while you are in the car. Makes you drink alcohol or take drugs. An abuser tends to go through a "honeymoon" period, where they appear to be the ideal partner to draw you in. They apologize and treat you well, buying gifts and being friendly. Then their behavior shifts and they start abusing again. You are slowly conditioned to accept their behavior. As a result of physical abuse, you may experience bruises, cuts or other injuries. Think about if you're wearing turtleneck shirts in the summer or wearing makeup to hide bruises. It's the physical acts of abuse that usually call the most attention to the problem of an abusive relationship. These behaviors usually occur along with emotional, mental, financial, and sexual abuse., Physical abuse may not be apparent at the beginning of the relationship. The relationship might start out with what appears to be healthy, ideal behavior. One woman recalls her husband meeting her at the train station after work at the beginning of their relationship with flowers. This story was recounted while undergoing treatment in the hospital for a broken nose when her husband threw a laundry basket at her face. She blamed herself for this injury. That perfect beginning is often what keeps victims in the relationship. Or, the troublesome behaviors can be very subtle at first. It might begin with extreme jealousy and controlling behavior, convincing the victim that this is what "real love" is like. The abuser might say that they care for the victim so deeply that they can't help their bad behaviors: "You make me so crazy, I just lose control. That's how much I care for you."
