Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be aware that seed-grown Bacopa may grow smaller flowers. Start growing your seeds in late winter. Remove the cover after the seeds germinate. Encourage bushy growth. Consider growing Trailing Bacopa from a cutting. Help your cutting to grow. Harden off your cuttings before planting them outside in the spring.

Answer: You can grow some varieties of Bacopa from seed. However, seed grown Bacopa plants generally offer smaller flowers than ones propagated by other methods. Fill a container with moist compost. Sprinkle the seeds onto the compost; do not cover them with soil. Mist the seeds with a water spray. Put the container into a clear plastic bag and place it in a bright area out of direct sunlight, such as a window ledge that is not in full sun. The seeds germinate quickly; you should see new growth within ten days. Consider removing the weaker seedlings at this point in order to thin the plants out and preserve the stronger seedlings. Once big enough to handle, you can transfer the seedlings to individual pots. Wait until all danger of frost has passed before planting the Bacopa seedlings outside. Some gardeners advise pinching off the growing tip once the Bacopa plants get to about four inches in height. This encourages bushy growth. Trailing varieties of Bacopa can be easily propagated from a cutting. To do this, in late summer cut about three inches of fresh healthy stem from a Bacopa plant using a clean sharp blade. Dip the cut end in rooting powder or hormone after you have made the cut. Remove the lower leaves on the stem, then insert an inch of cut stem into a pot containing cutting mix. You can buy special cutting compost, or make your own by mixing 50:50 vermiculite and sand. Water your cutting, then enclose it in a clear plastic bag. Keep the cutting out of direct sunlight but in a well-lit area, such as a window ledge that does not get direct sun. Make sure the cutting doesn't dry out; mist the cutting with a spray bottle if necessary. The cuttings should root after about five weeks. You can then transfer the cuttings to individual pots. Hardening off means gradually adjusting the plants to life outdoors. To do this, put them outside during the day and bring them in at night over a period of about two or three weeks.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Call around to property management companies in your area and ask if they provide what is commonly referred to as a Tenant Finder Service. If so, ask what their fee for this service is and what the fee covers. If you do use a tenant finder service, be sure they do not lock you in to anything.

Answer: Look for a service with a 100% tenant placement fee. As a landlord, you may love the fact that the service does all of the work outlined above. Here's how it works: The landlord lets the service know when the unit is coming available. The service takes the photos, inside and out, does all of the advertising and hand shows each and every potential tenant the unit available through appointments. Once they are interested, the service collects the first month's rent and the deposit (made out in the owner's name) and runs their background check, credit check, employment verification and rental verification. If all comes back great, such a service may even go so far as to create a lease and e-send it to both parties for signature. The landlord will sign, the tenants sign and then all receive completed copies for his/her files. Such a service may even meet the tenant at the home on move-in day, to be sure all utilities have been transferred, provide them with a walk-through form they can give to the landlord 7 days after move-in. Your contract needs to be "non-exclusive", meaning that if you rent it (or a friend, etc.) before they do, then no fees are due. They simply assist you in renting your property. If there is no tenant brought to the table, then no payment is due.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find people to ask. Ask for feedback. Look for commonalities. Make a self-portrait.

Answer: To help you figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are, you can do a Reflective Best Self (RBS) exercise. This helps you figure out what others think about you in order to help you find your strengths. To start, think of people in every aspect of your life. Include people from work, old jobs, and former professors or teachers as well as friends and family. Thinking of people to ask in all different areas will help you assess your personality on many levels and within many situations. Once you've chosen your candidate, send them an e-mail asking them about your strengths. Ask them to give you particular instances where they saw you use these strengths. Make sure to mention that these strengths can be skill-based or personality -based. Both kinds of responses are important. E-mail is typically the best way to do it because it takes the pressure off of doing it on the spot, gives them time to think of a response, and allows them to be more honest. Plus, it helps to have it all in writing for your later analysis. Once you receive all the results, you need to look for things that are similar in them. Read through each response and think about what it means. Try to pull out what traits each person is pinpointing, and read the specific instance to see if any other traits arise. After you interpret them all, compare them to one another and find similar traits that many people mention. It might help to make a table with a column for the name of the trait, a column for each response, and a column for your interpretation. For example, multiple people in your life told you that you handle things well under pressure, are good in a crisis, and can help manage other people in stressful situations. This means that you can stay calm under pressure, and you're likely a strong and natural leader. You can also read it as you are compassionate to others and are a people person. Once you have all the results, write a self-portrait analysis of your strengths. Make sure to incorporate all the different aspects that people pinpointed in their discussion of you and any traits you brought out in your own analysis. This isn't meant to be a complete psychological profile, but an in depth portrait of your best self. It reminds you of the characteristics you use when you are at your best and can help lead your future actions on how to strive to use them more.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exercise to get to work. Set realistic goals for yourself Stay fit during the work day. Energize your daily tasks by making them more active. Schedule break time wisely. Relax, don't tense up.

Answer:
Getting a workout in before your shift can energize you for the day ahead. It has the added benefit of cutting down on your transportation costs. If you live relatively close to where you work, consider these strategies to get in a bit of exercise before your workday even properly begins: Commute to work on a bike. Wear proper safety gear such as a helmet and pads, or a reflective vest so that drivers can see you clearly. Select one or two days a week to jog to work. Jogging on a commute may require you to keep a change of clothes at your workplace. A facility with a locker room or changing area may also be necessary. If distance and time allow for it, choose a nice day to walk to and from work. Take in the fresh air and use this time to clear your thoughts and relax before heading into the office. You might even walk to public transportation stops. Public transportation might be a commute option for you. If so, choose a route that will allow you to walk part of the way. You might even consider an unconventional way of exercising on your way to work, such as kayaking down a river to get to work or skateboarding to work. . Getting healthy is a big goal and it can include many things. Try to take some time to identify the individual goals you are working towards, such as losing 10 pounds, improving your mile run time, or simply eating fewer unhealthy foods. Make sure that you set goals that are SMART. This means that your goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. An example of a SMART goal might be something like, "I want to lose 10 pounds over the course of the next eight weeks." Seek support from your friends and family as you work towards your goals. Let them know that you are trying to be healthier at work and ask for their support. Some jobs have more flexible work hours, allowing employees to take longer breaks if the time is made up during the shift. Take advantage of your company's on-site gym if one is available. They may also be partnered with a nearby fitness center. Organize a basketball game in the parking lot with a few of your coworkers. Toss a baseball or football around with a work buddy. An extended work break is a good time to get in a long distance jog. Or, you could hit the gym during your lunch break and just have a light bite for lunch after you finish. If you have a sedentary job (lots of sitting around), moving around more during the course of the day is a good way to increase your activity level. Take the stairs in your building (if you work in a skyscraper it may not be practical to climb the stairs to your office on the 34th floor). Lift more weight than you're used to. If the office needs more photocopy paper, make an exercise of it - take a few trips to carry each box instead of using a cart. Walk to a coworker's desk instead of calling them on the phone. You'll increase the number of steps you take each day and appear more personable. If you must eat lunch away from work, walk there. Getting a carry out order and bringing it back to eat at work will increase your appetite. However, keep in mind that packing a lunch is usually healthier. If you have to order your lunch, then try to order something healthy. Break time is a worker's right that shouldn't be taken for granted. Use that time effectively and you'll be healthier for it! How you put break time to use depends on the type of job you do. If you need rest, take a breather. If you've been sitting all day, get up and move around! Know the break time policies at your place of work. Ask a supervisor if you're not sure. Follow them and don't abuse them. Take a walk whenever you get a break. Create different routes in the corridors of your building or outside if the weather is nice. If your break time is limited there are exercises that you can do at your desk. Stretch out your limbs. Shake off the fatigue. Get your blood flowing! If your job involves intense physical or mental activity, take time to unwind. Stepping away for a few moments can help calm and re-focus your mind on the task at hand. Periods of high stress are when we often fall back on bad habits. Resist the urge to cope with caffeine, a cigarette, or sweets. All three will only serve to keep you wound up. If you feel overwhelmed by your work load, wash your face with cold water, stretch your body and take several deep breaths. The additional influx of oxygen to your body will help increase your focus and productivity at work. The workday can be hectic for many people. If that's you, take a break to de-stress. There are many options available: meditation, prayer, or reading. Choose something you enjoy! If you need to blow off some steam, vent a little by talking to a trusted friend or colleague.
