Article: Any branches that are discolored, bare, or limp need to be removed. Take the branch in 1 hand and use your other hand to cut it off at the base of the stem with your pruners. If the base of a stem is particularly thick or tough, try using larger shears or a small hacksaw. Wipe down the blade of your pruners with rubbing alcohol after you cut off a diseased branch. This will help prevent the disease from spreading to other branches. Some branches of the bush will most likely have grown quite a bit longer than the others. Use the pruners to trim these back significantly, so that they're closer to the size of the adjacent branches. Once all the overly long branches have been trimmed, you should be able to see the natural shape of the plant more clearly. There will probably be some areas that look overcrowded with branches, especially near the bottom of the bush. By removing about one third of this wood, you'll give your bush a cleaner look. This also makes room for new branches to grow in.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cut off any damaged or dead branches. Shorten overly long branches. Remove one third of the old wood at the ground level.
Article: Once you have satisfied all of your legal reporting and payroll obligations, you are responsible for paying off the debt your business owes its creditors. You may be able to negotiate a reduced repayment if it appears that you are unable to repay all of your creditors. Your accountant and lawyer will go through all of your creditors' claims, prioritize those that you are required to pay first, and negotiate potential settlements. You must repay all of your debts before any funds can be distributed to you and/or your business partners. If you have paid off the business's debt, you can then distribute the remaining assets to the business owners or partners in accordance with the business's articles of incorporation or bylaws. You may want to consider leaving some funds in a contingency account just in case a creditor makes a last minute claim that you must pay out. After waiting a reasonable amount of time for creditors to make any last claims, you should close the remaining business accounts and distribute the funds to the owners and/or business partners. Even though your business is closed, you still have an obligation to maintain your business records for a certain amount of time. You should consider maintaining your records for at least 3 to 7 years.

Article: If a new, cute guy has just approached you, smile softly at him. You don't want to seem overly eager or too enthusiastic. This might scare him away. Just grin at him, batting your eyelashes a few times. He'll know that you are at least somewhat interested in him but aren't desperate for his company. This will make you seem approachable without seeming overzealous. This works on a guy across the room as well. If you see a guy who you want to come talk to you, smile at him across the room, making eye contact. This will send out the signal that you see him and are open to him talking to you. Using your eyes is a great way to attract the attention of a guy. When you first meet a guy, don't stare at him too much and look over too eager for his company. Bat your eyes at him, looking away only to sneak looks back at him. This will let him know you are interested and playful but not desperate. Give him a smoldering look as he says something nice to you. You want him to know that you like what you are seeing when you look at him. If you are on your morning train commute or in the grocery store and you see a guy you like, try making eye contact. When he looks up at you, hold his gaze for a second, but then look away. Then, look back at him and wait for him to look back at you. Once you catch his eye again, smile at him shyly and then look away again. Try to let him know your interested without looking desperate. He will eventually get that you think he's cute and come talk to you. Coming off as coy has a lot of do with your body language. When you interact with him, you want to let him know you are interested without telling him. Stand or sit closer to him as you talk. When you want to tell him something, lean closer to him and say it in his ear. Find a way to touch him, such as leaning on him for support while you fix your shoe or try to regain your balance. When you are thinking about an answer to a question, bite your lip or put your finger near your mouth. This will make you look alluring. Being subtle in your body movements toward him does not mean you need to hang all over him. Make subtle advances into his personal space, but make sure you read his signals. You don't want to give off desperate vibes or come on too strong. You don't have to wear revealing clothing to attract the guy you have your eye on. When you go out with your friends, wear something feminine that reveals just enough to peak a guy's interest. Wear a shorter skirt with a blouse that covers you or show a bit of cleavage in a modest length dress. This will be alluring without being trashy. You don't want to seem overzealous, easy, or desperate for attention, but you want to catch his eye. Pair these outfit ideas with a nice pair of high heels and a coy, innocent smile. The high heels will make you look amazing and catch his attention. This will make you seem confident but sweet, which will pull his attention to you. A great way to come off as coy is to play with your hair. While he is talking, twirl your hair with your fingers. You can also gently run your hands through your hair with a flirty smile on your lips. This makes you look slightly nervous, which will let him know that you are interested in him. Don't do this too much. Subtly act nervous and slightly jittery, so he thinks you are nervous. You don't want him to think that you are bored or uninterested.
