Problem: Article: Guava trees grow most of their new fruit at the very end of their branches. Look at the middle of your branches for old growth from previous growing season. Focus your pruning on those branches. The old growth will be brown, look shriveled, or will branch off from the branches with the newest fruit. Once you've identified old growth, use your shears to prune off that growth. Make the cut slightly above the branch collar, which is the raised ring at the base of the branch. Then use your shears to cut off the old growth. It's important that you don't make the cut flush with the intersecting branch. You want to leave the branch collar, so the cut heals properly. If the branch is too high for you to reach with your hand shears, you can use a lopper. Loppers look like hand shears, but with very long handles that allow you to reach higher branches. New branches that are small will produce fruit, but the fruit will be smaller than that you would get from larger branches. Use hand-held shears to cut away the smallest branches, leaving about 0.25in (0.64cm) of a stub at the end. This lets your tree heal properly. Every week or so, check the branches of your guava tree. To encourage the growth of large, high-quality fruits, prune away the smallest fruits in the clusters. Use small pruning shears to cut the guava's stem about 1in (2.5cm) above the branch. Guavas grow in clusters of 2 to 4 fruits. You should remove about half of the guavas in the cluster, unless more than half look very small. Doing so will help the tree direct its energy toward growing large fruit, as opposed to a bunch of small fruit.
Summary: Look for old growth in the middle of the branch. Cut off old growth at the base of the stem. Prune the smallest branches 0.25in (0.64cm) from the trunk. Cut branches with small fruits 1in (2.5cm) from the stem.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're doing an activity, use what you're doing to make for instant conversation. If you want to talk about something else, talk about things like: How gross the lunch was today "Was there something crawling in the meatloaf surprise?" How the weather is today. An old standby, but still a great conversation starter. How the football game went. Many guys like sports, and if you went to or heard about the big game, he would love to talk to you about it. If you liked your conversation, tell him you have to go but would love to talk to him again about the same things, to learn more. When you see him again, talk to him by picking up where you both left off. The more you talk, the better bond you'll grow. Friendships grow and bloom through conversation, it just takes time. Tease him and have fun with him. Just don't go to far or do it too much in case you come across as forcing the relationship. Your friendship will become as strong as ever by taking it easy and enjoying being in each other's company.

SUMMARY: Have some conversation ideas ready to hand for when try to talk to him. Show interest. Invite your new friend over to do things together and have a great time hanging out.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold the prawn by the body with one hand and use your other hand to firmly grasp the prawn's head. Place the fingers from both hands at the intersection of the head and the body, where you want the break to occur. Pull back with both hands and twist until the head detaches. Discard the unused prawn heads in the trash immediately. Hold the prawn by the body and grab the prawn tail with your other hand. Using a firm grip, pull the prawn tail off where it connects with the meaty part of the body. Throw away the tail once you remove it. Removing the tail before the rest of the shell will make the deshelling process much easier. Once you have removed the shell, you should be able to peel off the remainder of the prawn's outer layer quite easily. Use your fingers to pull the legs off from its underside. Then peel back any remaining pieces of the shell. This should leave you with just the meaty part of prawn left. Use a sharp knife to cut a small line that runs down the length of the prawn's back. This should be done on the top of the prawn, the opposite side from where the legs were. Inside, you will see a small black line. Use the tip of the knife to pull out the vein and discard it. This black vein is the prawn's intestines. Removing it will help your prawns taste much better. After deveining the prawns, you should rinse them once more with cold water. This will help ensure all remnants of the intestines are completely removed.
Summary: Remove the prawn head. Pull off the tail. Peel off the shell and legs. Devein the prawn.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Students are always trying to balance work, school, and social lives, and trying to make enough time for all these things often means they skimp on sleep. But being tired during the day means you're more likely to fall asleep in class, and even when you are awake, you will have difficulty focusing, concentrating, and retaining information. If you find you don't have time to get enough sleep because you're working too much, talk to your boss about taking fewer shifts. If you have too much homework, talk to your teachers about making more time for schoolwork during class time. If you're spending too much time with friends, restrict your social engagements to the weekends. For students over the age of 12, you likely need anywhere between seven to 10 hours of sleep every night in order to function optimally. If you're younger than 12, you likely need around 11 hours of sleep every night. Using caffeine to make up for a night when you didn't get enough sleep can be dangerous, because the caffeine may prevent you from getting a proper sleep again, create a cycle of fatigue. The idea of having a bedtime may seem childish, but the routine can help you get a better night's rest. This is especially important for people who have trouble falling asleep, because getting your body used to going to bed at the same time can help your body get on a schedule, and this may make it easier to sleep at night. If you are going to bed at the same time every night but still wake feeling tired, try moving your bed time ahead by an hour and see how the extra hour of sleep affects your daytime wakefulness. It's important to stick to your schedule at all times, even on weekends and holidays. There are a number of things that can keep you up at night or prevent you from getting a sound sleep, and avoiding them will help you get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. Don't exercise within three hours of going to bed, because exercise creates a rush of hormones and oxygen that will energize you and keep you from falling asleep. Avoid eating a large meal within an hour of bed time, because feeling full and bloated can make you uncomfortable and make it difficult to sleep. Turn the lights low and avoid electronic screens in the half-hour leading up to bedtime, as the lights will disrupt the natural circadian rhythm that governs your sleep and wake cycles. Sleep is extremely important for physical, mental, and emotional health, but there are a number of conditions that can prevent a person from getting to sleep or staying asleep throughout the night. If you suspect you're suffering from any of them, consult a doctor as soon as possible. Some of the more common sleep-disrupting disorders include: Periodic limb movement disorder and restless legs syndrome, where jerking legs and arms frequently disrupt sleep. Sleep apnea causes you to wake often because you stop breathing when you're asleep. Insomnia, which is an inability to sleep, can be caused by a wide range of factors, including stress and underlying medical issues. While most people experience short periods where it's difficult to sleep, you should consult a doctor if the condition persists. Narcolepsy is a condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, such as while sitting in class, on the bus, at a party, or in the middle of a meal.
Summary:
Don't sacrifice sleep. Go to bed at the same time every night. Avoid exercise, meals, and lights before bed. Address possible medical issues that could be affecting your sleep.
