Article: For cold starting, there is usually a choke lever or "cut-off switch" on the handlebar. On some bikes, there may be a choke lever mounted on the carburetor. Operating this will provide the necessary rich fuel mixture when the motorcycle is "cold" when it hasn't been used for more than a few hours. The dirtier the carburetor, or the colder the engine is, the more the choke will need to be engaged. You don't need to use the choke lever when starting a motorcycle "hot." If the motorcycle has been running and the engine is already hot, you won't need as much power to get it going. Just use a small amount of throttle and the engine should fire. Many bikes have a cut-off switch on the kickstand, so make sure that the kickstand is up as well. Having the bike in neutral will disable the kickstand shutoff.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look for the "choke" lever or cut-off switch.
Article: After your initial conversations, continue talking to your friend regularly. Call and text them at least weekly. The amount of contact you have will depend upon your ages as well as the frequency with which you use to communicate. For instance, if you are in high school, it is normal to talk to your best friends every day. However, if you are older and working, you may speak less regularly as you will have other responsibilities to manage. Make sure not to be the only one initiating contact. If you find that nine times out of ten, you're the one reaching out first, give your friend some space to breathe. If they reach out first, it will make your friendship stronger and more mutual. Take some time with your friend to reflect on the great memories that you have shared with one another. This would be a great time to bring out your photo album or look at your mutual photos on social media. Sit and reminisce with your friend to remind each other of these times and the good times to come. You might want to say something like "Remember that time we went to the movies and we laughed so hard we were crying? We really had so much fun together." In addition to reflecting, go out and recreate those fun memories! If you and your friend love to go to the beach, play sports, or go out to the movies, do all of those things again. This is a great way to remind each other of why you became friends in the first place and to move on from your fight. One other way to strengthen your newly rekindled bond is to further develop your trust. Though you and your friend may feel that you have not skipped a beat since your reconnected, your sense of trust may need to be reestablished. Work on communicating with them regularly to develop a mutual sense of dependability. One way to develop trust is to share secrets with each other. As your friendships progresses, begin divulging new information about yourself that they didn't know before, and asking them to do the same. You can even make a game out of it. In addition to doing things with them that you used to enjoy doing together, you can also try new things! Trying something new is a good way to get both of you out of your comfort zone and even to face your fears together. Bond over cooking a new dish together or trying out a new sport. You can also conquer a mutual fear like a fear of heights together by riding a rollercoaster or something similar. Your friendship may change in new and unexpected ways. Embrace this change. Try to avoid dwelling on how things were before. Perhaps things will fall back into place and you'll feel that you haven't missed a day together, which is wonderful. But things can feel different as well, and that's okay, too. Enjoy your new, stronger and more mature friendship and celebrate having your best friend back!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Continue conversations. Reminisce about good memories. Do the things you used to do. Redevelop trust if necessary. Try something new together. Enjoy your new friendship.
Article: Spend some time looking at different Etsy sellers, especially successful ones, to find your niche in the market. Think about how your artwork can stand out from the crowd. Consider how your work is different and how you can bring a unique perspective to what is already selling on Etsy. For example, you may use the Etsy search bar to look up sellers who are making artwork that is similar to yours. You may notice what types of artwork they sell as well as their price points and their type of clientele. Consider the age group and demographic you want to sell to. Are you trying to make artwork for a younger audience, such as children? Do you want to make artwork for an older audience, such as individuals looking for artwork for their homes or offices? Think about how you can appeal to a specific customer or niche on Etsy. For example, you may try doing animal portraits in cross stitch, rather than paint animal portraits, as these are already popular on Etsy. Or you may create custom abstract art for interiors in interesting materials like spray paint and fabric to stand out. For your artwork to be sold on Etsy, it must be handmade and/or designed by you. If you have a design partner, you must disclose this on your shop. You will also need to disclose every person involved in the making of the item. You cannot resell items that were not handmade or designed by you. You must be honest and forthcoming in your descriptions of items and in the information you provide about your shop. Appeal to a variety of shoppers by carrying artwork that ranges in price. Try to have artwork that is on the more affordable side and on the more expensive side. Giving variety can open up your shop to a wide range of buyers and encourage your customers return to buy more. Etsy finds that items $50 USD and under tend to be the most popular. You may use $50 USD as your base price and price your items up or down from there. For example, you may have several pieces that are in the $50-$100 USD range or in the $0-$50 USD range. You may then offer a few larger or more detailed pieces in the $100-$200 USD range. Do not be afraid to offer artwork that is more expensive, as some art buyers are drawn to more expensive work that is original and one of a kind.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look at what your competitors are selling and making. Pick artwork that is unique and appealing to a specific customer. Make sure your artwork meets Etsy standards. Have artwork at different price points.
