In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: That's it!  From there, the recipe can deviate based on your preference for thickness; you can add more cornstarch or water until the paste is your preferred consistency.  Thoroughly mix the two ingredients together. As the cornstarch absorbs water the mixture will thicken and begin to resemble glue.  For thin cornstarch paste, use 3 tablespoon (44.4 ml) of cold water and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of cornstarch. For thick cornstarch paste, use equal parts cold water and cornstarch. Because the starch may settle, stir the simple cornstarch paste just before using it. If you're creating a thick paste, adding it to heat can make the mixing process easier.  Place 1/2 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan.  Place the pan over low heat. Stir the ingredients together until they're smooth. When the consistency is thick and gluey, remove the mixture from heat. The finished product will be somewhat translucent.  Allow everything to cool before pouring it into a plastic container for use. Using a whisk can work initially, but you'll need to switch to a heavy spoon when the mixture thickens. Use a clean plastic or glass container for storage. The mixture will keep for as long as a month in the refrigerator. If necessary, you add more water and slightly heat the mixture to soften it before use.  An old butter tub works well for larger amounts of paste. If you're making paste for multiple projects or more than one person, small yogurt containers with lids work well. This simple cornstarch paste can be used with yarn, string, Popsicle sticks, and various other children's art. After using cornstarch paste in a craft project, allow it to dry for 24 hours.
Summary: Combine cornstarch and water. Heat the mixture. Store the paste in the refrigerator. Use the cornstarch paste in your arts and crafts projects.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can collect your own data by interviewing people or counting items, or you can use data that has already been collected.  Gather information from online sources to collect data on a certain event. Ask friends and family to respond to your question and collect data from people you know. Compile all of your data and numbers into a list.  Organize your data into a table with each item labeled and explained. Make sure that you have collected enough information to answer the question or present the information that you want your pictograph to represent. If you are collecting information on states, make sure you have collected data from many different states to accurately represent your data.
Summary: Pick a source for the data your pictograph will represent. Make a list of all the data you have collected. Review your numbers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Everyone is well aware that eating beans can cause gas. You can reduce the gas-producing quality of beans by soaking dry beans before you cook them. Eating dry beans instead of canned beans can also reduce the bloating and gas associated with beans. Use fresh water when you boil the dry beans, as using the soaking water may give you more gas. While fruits and vegetables are essential to maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, some fruits and vegetables can make you more prone to gas. You can reduce your need to fart by cutting down on certain gas-causing fruits and vegetables.  Eat fewer apples, peaches, bananas, pears, apricots, and raisins. You should also avoid prune juice as it can trigger your digestive tract to release gas. Eat fewer artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, green peppers, onions, radishes, celery, carrots, and cucumbers. Many milk based products can cause gas and bloating. Reduce your consumption of dairy products like cheese, milk, and ice cream. You should also avoid packaged foods that contain lactose, like bread, cereal, and salad dressing. Carbonated drinks contain a high amount of gas in them and this can translate to high levels of gas in your body. Have less soda, sparkling water, or carbonated fruit drinks and consume water instead so you stay hydrated. You can reduce the amount of gas in carbonated drinks by leaving them out, opened, for a few hours, until the carbonation is reduced. Alcohol like beer and wine can cause bloating, indigestion, and gas. Beer in particular releases carbon dioxide as you consume it, leading to a build up of this gas and potential farting later. If you do enjoy drinking alcohol like beer and wine, sip it slowly and pace yourself. Taking your time when you drink can cause you to swallow less air, leading to a lower build up of gas in your body.
Summary:
Soak beans before you eat them to prevent flatulence. Eat less gas-causing vegetables and fruits. Cut down on dairy products like milk and cheese. Reduce your consumption of carbonated drinks. Cut down on your alcohol consumption.
