INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before initiating legal termination of the partnership, review your business as it currently stands. Consider, for example, how your existing contractual obligations will be affected by the dissolution. Are you locked into a contract? Will those contractual obligations continue regardless of your partnership status? Review your existing contracts, loan agreements, and leases to determine your partnership's obligations to third parties and determine how dissolution will impact those liabilities. This is important because once the partnership is dissolved, each partner will typically assume business assets and liabilities based on a percentage of ownership. You can get a third-party to conduct a valuation of your business for you. Determine whether you and your partner(s) have completed all agreed upon duties. Doing so will minimize disagreements during the dissolution process and will minimize any legal issues that you might face during the dissolution. Importantly, after the dissolution agreement has been signed, the original partnership agreement becomes void. Therefore, make sure that all parties' interests have been taken care of before the original agreement becomes void. Not doing so can result in one party suffering a loss because his rights under the original agreement are no longer enforceable.

SUMMARY: Review your leases, contracts, and loan agreements. Determine how much your business is worth. Complete all agreed upon duties.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you start spending time with your crush, you can start sending signals that you like him. This is another place you can let your eyes do the talking. At this point, you should start making eye contact with your crush for a couple of seconds, gaze, and then look away. See if they do it back. Don't keep eye contact for too long. It can be creepy. After you make eye contact with your crush, smile to yourself. Don't make it a giant grin; you don't want to seem too excited. But, a little smile lets your crush know you're happy they're paying attention to you. However you decide to flirt with your crush, it's important to be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone else to please your crush. They'll never truly like you if they don't know the real you. Also, don't try too hard on the flirting. Don't over think it. Giving your crush tons of compliments, laughing at every joke he or she makes, or constantly trying to bat your eyelashes or strike handsome poses will not seem genuine. No matter how stressful this is, try to just be calm and be your real self. After you've gotten to know your crush, if he or she seems to react well to your flirting, try touching him or her in a playful way. For example: When your crush makes a joke, laugh, and lightly touch his or her arm or hand. Another thing is to lightly punch him in the arm. If you are walking past your crush in a hallway or somewhere like that, try lightly brushing your shoulder against theirs. Make it look accidental. Lightly wiggle your fingers on your crush's hand or arm. Stand close to your crush. But, don't make him or she feel uncomfortable. If they move away, respect their space. Hold your crush's hand to lead him or her to places. When you're next to your crush, rub your fingers on his or her wrist to tickle it. Give your crush a hug when saying hello or goodbye. If you think your crush is starting to like you back, kiss their cheek to see their reaction. However, if your crush hasn't shown signs of interest in you, do not try this. If they have shown signs of interest, take the risk and try it when you two are alone.

SUMMARY: Make eye contact. Smile. Be yourself. Make contact.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Tequila is the best when it is 100% agave. Tequila that isn't 100% agave may contain corn syrup, sugar, and artificial flavors and colors. It should say 100% agave on the label. Regular triple secs range in alcohol content from 15% (30-proof) to 40% (80-proof). For a boozier margarita, choose a triple sec with a higher alcohol content such as Cointreau (40% alc/vol). Triple sec comes in a variety of brands popular ones include Curacao, Grand Marnier (actually an orange-infused cognac), and Cointreau. For a simpler margarita recipe you can skip the triple sec all together. Ripe limes have thin, shiny, soft skin; when you rub them, they should be quite fragrant. For an authentic Mexican flavor, use key limes, which are more tart and bitter than the larger Persian limes. Alternatively, use fresh lemon juice (try sweet Meyer lemons!) for a softer taste. Common sweeteners for margaritas include agave nectar (if it's not available at your grocery store, check a health food store), simple syrup, and honey. You can make simple syrup at home by mixing water and sugar in a jar and shaking it, or by heating the sugar and water together in a pan in both cases until the sugar dissolves. Depending on your tastes, you can mix 1.5 to 2 parts sugar with 1 part water. A sweetener isn't 100% necessary some people use no sweeteners at all, instead letting the orange liqueur do the sweetening. Unless you're making a blended margarita, use big ice cubes (i.e. when shaking one up in a cocktail maker). Big ice cubes won't melt as quickly as crushed ice or smaller cubes; the less the ice melts, the stronger and more flavorful your drink will be. Sea salt and kosher salt are the most commonly recommended types of salt for rimming your margarita glass. Kosher salt will make for a slightly saltier rim than sea salt. Avoid using table salt, which will create a fine-grained, clumpy rim on your glass, and make for an overly salty drink. You can also purchase pre-made salt mixes specifically for margaritas at grocery and liquor stores.

SUMMARY: Know how to select a good tequila. Know which triple sec you want. Choose the perfect limes. Use a high-quality sweetener. Use big ice cubes. Choose a high-quality salt to rim your glass with.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Collect the branches in spring when new growths are forming on the tree. Look for fresh green shoots and branches that are skinnier than a pencil to use for your rooting tonic. Use a pair or pruning shears or a sharp utility knife to cut the willow branches at a 45-degree angle so the tree doesn't develop rot. You can use any type of willow for your rooting hormone. Don't use any dead branches since they won't contain any of the natural rooting hormones. When you're ready to plant your cuttings, dip the cut ends in the willow water solution and leave them to soak for at least 2 hours so they can absorb the nutrients. After they've soaked, put your cuttings in the soil so they can start to grow. You can also use the willow solution to water your cuttings during the first month of growth to help promote healthy roots and foliage.

SUMMARY:
Collect 2 cups (256 g) of young branches from a willow tree. Soak your cuttings in the willow solution for 2-3 hours before planting.
