Article: There are two general types of begonias: those grown from seeds, and those grown from tubers/bulbs. The seed-started begonias tend to be a bit smaller and difficult to grow, while bulb begonias are sturdier and larger plants. Both varieties come in many color options including shades of pink, white, purple, yellow, and red. Bulb and seed begonias are annuals, although the bulbs can be saved and replanted in later years. Growing begonias from seeds or bulbs is quite difficult, so it is recommended that you head to your local nursery to pick up a small potted begonia to transplant. In rare opportunities, you may find a type of perennial begonia, but these aren't common. You can choose to start begonias from cuttings as well. Begonias are one of many common flowers that can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors. They like light or dappled (rather than full) shade, making them the perfect addition to your houseplant collection. If you plant your begonias in a pot, choose a location in your house on an eastern, western, or southern facing window. They can also be placed on a shaded porch, which gets plenty of ambient sunlight. If you're planting them in garden, place them in a shady patch under other larger plants or on the northern side of your garden. Begonias can handle partial sun, but avoid placing them in direct sunlight. Also, red-leaved begonias handle heat better than green-leaved begonias. If the shade is too dense, your begonias won't grow properly. Choose an area with indirect sunlight and partial shade. If you don't have any indoor window space for potted begonias, you'll need to use a fluorescent lamp in order to provide them with a bit of light. Rather, don't prepare soil at all, as begonias grow better in soil-free garden mix than then do in typical 'dirt'. Prepare a mixture of peat moss and soil-free potting mixture (available at gardening supply stores and nurseries). Begonias like acidic, well-draining environments which the peat moss mixture easily provide. If you must use soil outside, incorporate plenty of peat moss and organic matter into the soil to provide the best environment for your begonias. If you use a peat moss mixture, soak the moss in boiling water and allow it to cool prior to planting the begonias. You can use a 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer on your soil/soil mixture for some added nutrients for the begonias. Begonias are annuals, so they won't grow back each year. Therefore, each year you will have to replant them, typically in mid spring. Begonias don't handle cold temperatures and frost well, so wait until at least one week after the final frost of winter to plant them. If nothing else, plant them in a pot early indoors, and then transplant them outdoors when the weather warms up.

Select a type of begonia to plant. Choose a location. Prepare your soil. Know when to plant.
Article: A prototype usually focuses on the main feature of the program. For example, if you're creating a personal organizer program, your prototype may be the calendar and event-adding function. Your prototype should be able to be used as its own program. It will be the foundation of everything else, so make sure its working properly. As you iterate on the feature, continue to refine it until it works smoothly and efficiently. The prototype allows you to make rapid changes and then test them out. Have others test your prototype to ensure that it functions properly. Expect the prototype to change as you work on it. The whole point of the prototype is to experiment before committing. The prototype allows you to see if the features you want are possible before you dive into coding the program proper. If the prototype is doomed to fail, scrap it and return to the drawing board. It will save you a lot of headache down the line
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Focus on one feature. Iterate until the feature works. Don't be afraid to scrap the prototype.
Article: Don't think your preparation is done when you get to the interview. Have a piece of paper with you to take notes. Write down specific keywords, and identify specific traits and skills the company is looking for based on what the person interviewing you is saying. Maybe you haven't had a chance to highlight your people skills. Alternatively, maybe you haven't had a chance to talk about your computer skills. Make a note on your paper about these lapses, so that you can address them in an open-ended question later, such as "Why should I hire you?" For instance, you may notice the interviewer thinks you are overqualified if she keeps asking about your years of experience and how you would do with people younger than you being in charge. Alternatively, maybe the interviewer thinks you don't have the skills of the job, which you may have noticed when she asked about a specific skill that you're not strong in. If the job description wasn't particularly detailed, feel free to ask some questions yourself. That way, you have a better idea of what the job entails, so you can answer the question more directly. Ask questions such as "What goals will the person who's hired be asked to focus on immediately?" or "What qualities do you usually look for in a new hire?" You can also ask a question such as "What is a typical day like in this position?"
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Listen intently. Note what you haven't had a chance to say. Assess what the interviewer thinks of you. Push for more details.
