In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: During the wet seasons, bamboo is more starchy and will be more difficult to cut and could cause splitting. Plan to harvest your bamboo during the fall or winter so the bamboo is the easier to harvest. Start your harvest before sunrise since the starches will still be held in the roots at that time. Shorter shoots will grow on the outer edge of the bamboo patch. Avoid using shoots that are soft to the touch since this could mean they are diseased. Don't use bamboo that has visible mold, fungi, or cracks in the shoots. Hold the loppers near the end of the handles to have the widest range of motion. Open them until the stalk fits between the blades and close them slowly so the bamboo is not damaged. Cut the bamboo as close to the ground as you can. Loppers can be purchased at any gardening store. Closing the loppers too fast could crack and damage the bamboo stalk, preventing it from regrowing. Stab the blade of the shovel into the ground underneath the shoot you're pulling out. Push down on the shovel handle to loosen the shoot and the dirt. Once the dirt is loose, pull the shoot from the ground. Try pulling the shoot sideways with your hands first. They may be loose enough to pull by hand. Use a sharp paring knife to cut into the outer skin of the bamboo, but do not cut all the way through the shoot. Twist the woody outer layer off of the shoot and dispose of it. Fresh peeled bamboo only keeps for 1 to 2 days. You can cut the shoots to any size that is convenient for you. Use teaspoon (3 g) of salt per 1 cup (240mL) of water in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil and then turn down the heat so they simmer for 5-10 minutes. This helps remove the bitter flavor but keeps them crunchy. Store the shoots in salted water for up to 5 days. Put the blanched shoots in a jar of salted water with teaspoon (3 g) of salt per 1 cup (240mL) of water. Label the date you prepared the bamboo and place the jar in the fridge. You can also freeze the shoots in salted water to preserve them for longer.
Summary: Harvest bamboo at the start of the dry season. Choose shoots less than 6in (15cm) tall with a wide base. Use loppers to harvest bamboo less than 1.5in (3.8cm) thick. Dig the base with a shovel to get the whole shoot. Peel the skin off of the bamboo. Blanch the shoots over medium heat.

Q: This seems like a simple step, but it is commonplace to hear: His after shave was so overpowering, or his deodorant smelt so cheap. Another complaint is smelling sweaty. Men: Throw away the deodorant sprays and invest in roll-on deodorant. Not only will you not be overpowering and cheap smelling, your body odour will be better and will last the whole night, no matter how much you perspire. Ladies: Do the same. Don't believe in all those sexy ads. If it's your time of the month, purchase some dermatological and gynaecological tested spray deodorant for intimate hygiene. Even if you have brushed your teeth, never take it for granted that your breath is fine, so keep breath mints on hand. Don't use chewing gum, as there is nothing more off putting than someone chewing all the time. Besides if you are going for a meal, what are you going to do with the gum at mealtime? Most people don't know what they look like when they are chewing gum, so do yourself a favour and don't do it.
A: Take care with how you smell. Have clean breath.

Problem: Article: Aerobic or cardio exercise will help burn calories and support your weight loss. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that adults perform up to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio each week, or up to 60 minutes per day 5 days of the week. Try a variety of exercises like: walking, jogging/running, biking, using the elliptical, swimming or dancing. In addition to helping support weight loss or a healthy weight, cardiovascular activities have also been shown to help manage diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, you should also include a few days of strength or resistance training. The CDC recommends 2 days of strength training for at least 20 minutes a session. It's also recommended to do a variety of exercises so that you will work each major muscle group (legs, chest, core, arms, etc). There are a variety of activities that can count as strength training including: lifting free weights, using weight machines, yoga and pilates. There are a variety of exercises that have been promoted to help get rid of neck fat; however, most have the opposite effect. Although you might think that working or strengthening the muscles around your neck could help get rid of fat, these exercises may only bulk up your neck muscles. Bulky muscles will make your neck look thicker, not smaller. In general, when you lose weight, you will notice a decrease in the amount of fat that you carry around your neck.
Summary:
Perform cardiovascular exercises. Do 2 days of strength training. Avoid neck toning exercises.
