Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials. Cut your soda can in a spiral strip. Flatten and trim your aluminum strip. Crease your strip so the outside ends meet. Attach your antenna to your antenna port, or to the unbroken end of your antenna. Stabilize as necessary.

Answer: Having everything on hand to repair your antenna will save you time while repairing it. You will need a flat, clear space to work, and also:  A clean soda can Sturdy scissors or shears A pen A book Needle nose pliers You will first need to cut the top of the can free from the rest of it. Now you can begin a single cut that follows around the can at a gradual angle spiraling down to the bottom of your can. You should remove the bottom of your can after you are through cutting your spiral aluminum strip. Take care when cutting your can; the aluminum may be sharp enough to cut you. Using a flat, heavy object (like a book), or even your hands, flatten your spiral strip entirely. Remove any particularly bad burrs or jagged edges from your flattened strip. Collect any shards or pieces of aluminum. These are sharp, and can result in cuts or slivers. Take your pen and run it along the middle of your strip to begin creasing your strip of aluminum. Bend the outside edges of your strip with your needle nose pliers or hands, drawing each side together above the crease you have made. The resulting shape of your aluminum will now be cylindrical. If your antenna has broken off close to the bottom, you may want to fold the outside edges of your strip around the remaining antenna nub. If your break is higher up on the antenna, wrap the outside edges around so that the antenna extends into your aluminum to stabilize the aluminum extension. If your antenna has been torn out of its port completely, you may be able to narrow your aluminum to fit in the antenna receiver hole, but if damage has been done to the port, you made need to replace the antenna assembly completely. In some cases, you may be able to sheath your antenna with your now cylindrical foil. This may result in a stable junction. However, if your antenna is flimsy or you are concerned about the elements (wind should be a serious concern for car antennas), you can further support the break by wrapping it in duct tape or electrical tape.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Contact the seller. Keep a record of correspondence. Contact your credit card company. Report to the Better Business Bureau. Write a review of your experience.

Answer: Let the merchant or online seller know that your glasses were counterfeit, and you would like your money back.  Hopefully, the seller will cooperate and give you your money back.  If they do not, let them know that you plan to contact your credit company.  This may encourage them to work things out with you. As you go back and forth with the seller, keep documentation of all the emails, receipts, and packing slips regarding your purchase.  If you have to contact your credit card company, all of this information will be helpful.  This will also create proof if the seller lies about the product that you were sold.  You can also take pictures of your glasses that you purchased. If you entered the model number into the sunglasses manufacturer website and the number did not match, print out a copy of that page as well to use for evidence. If you used a card to pay for your glasses, you can request a charge-back.  File the purchase as a billing error. It's best if you do this as soon as possible so you do not look suspicious to your credit card company. You can file this report on your credit card company's website. If you cannot find the information on the website, call your credit card company for assistance. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) if you find that your sunglasses are counterfeit. After you submit your complaint, the BBB will forward the information to the business within 2 business days.  The business will have 14 days to respond to the complaint that you filed.  The BBB will notify you of the business's response.  Most complaints are closed within 30 business days. Go to the website or Yelp page of the company where you purchased your sunglasses and leave an honest review of your experience.  Let people know that the glasses you purchased were fake.  Also discuss how the issue was resolved. If the seller gave you trouble, let everyone know.  If the seller was easy to work with, let everyone know that as well.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your materials and tools to build the coffin. Draw the center lines of a template on 2 pieces of shelf paper taped together. Create the outline of the coffin’s lid using the center lines as guides. Make a second template that is 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) smaller for the base. Create templates for the sides on 1 ft (0.30 m) wide strips of shelf paper.

Answer: Buy a roll of shelf paper, 3 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) 4 ft × 8 ft (1.2 m × 2.4 m) sheets of plywood, 1.5 in (3.8 cm) wood screws, and wood glue at a home improvement center. Make sure you have a circular saw, an electric drill, a pencil, and a measuring tape to measure and cut out the pieces and put them together.  If you don’t have power tools, you can rent them at a hardware store or home improvement center. If you want a nicer-looking simple coffin for burial purposes, you could make it out of pine instead of plywood. Draw 1 75.5 in (192 cm) straight line lengthwise down the middle of the shelf paper. Draw a 34 in (86 cm) perpendicular line 17 in (43 cm) down from the top of the first line.  The resulting line will be the shape of a cross. This will help you create the outline of the coffin. Shelf paper is paper used for lining shelves that comes in big rolls. Tape 2 pieces together side-by-side to make a piece wide enough to create your template. Note that you can change the dimensions of the coffin by adjusting any of the measurements. Draw a 24 in (61 cm) horizontal line at the top of the cross shape and a 17 in (43 cm) horizontal line at the bottom. Create the side lines by drawing straight lines to connect the ends of all the horizontal lines. You will now have the completed outline of your coffin. Cut out the first template and trace it onto another 2 pieces of shelf paper taped together. Measure in 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) all the way around and draw the new, smaller outline in the middle. Cut this new template out as well. This will be the template for the base of the coffin. It needs to be 3⁄4 in (1.9 cm) smaller so the sides can be screwed around it. Measure and cut a 24 in (61 cm)-long by 1 ft (0.30 m)-wide piece for the top of the coffin and a 17 in (43 cm)-long by 1 ft (0.30 m)-wide piece for the bottom of the coffin. Make 2 18 in (46 cm)-long by 1 ft (0.30 m)-wide pieces for the short sides and 2 59 in (150 cm)-long by 1 ft (0.30 m)-wide pieces for the long sides. This will give the coffin a depth of 1 ft (0.30 m). Feel free to make it shallower or deeper by using thinner or wider strips of shelf paper for the templates.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the threader in one hand and the needle in the other. Insert the wire threader loop through the eye of the needle. Guide the end of the thread through the threader loop. Double the thread over on itself.

Answer:
For most people, it will probably be easiest to have the needle threader in your dominant hand. If you're right-handed, for instance, you'll hold the tool in your right hand, while left-handed sewers will use their left. You’ll have much more coordination that way, which will allow you to focus on manipulating the small items you’ll be working with.  Make sure you’re gripping the needle so that the eye is pointing upwards. Those with unsteady hands may find it helpful to stabilize the needle using a pincushion or piece of cork. The larger object will hold the needle in place while you're threading so that you won't have to. It may take a few attempts to get the two pieces lined up correctly. Push the threader until the needle rests in the shallow groove next to the base. This will keep it from accidentally slipping out.  If you’re having trouble getting the threader loop through, turn the needle slightly so you can see the opening a little better. You may need to push the threader gently to force it through the eye of a smaller-sized needle. The wire threader loop will give you a much larger target to aim at. Once you’ve got the thread inside, pull the loose end to continue feeding it through. Needle threaders take the imprecision out of threading by working in reverse. Instead of guiding the thread straight through, the threader allows you to anchor it in place, then pull the needle around it. Pull the loose end back on itself so that it runs alongside the length of the thread. Gather up both ends between the thumb and forefinger of your free hand. Be sure to create enough length to keep a secure grip on the folded thread. You’ll load the threader the same way whether you want to work with single or double thread.
