INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When the bicycle is upright, you will be able to measure the bike wheel without the bike tipping onto you. If you are measuring the bike alone, a retractable metal tape measure will be sturdier than a plastic tape measure while leaving you a free hand. This measurement is the wheel's radius, or half of its diameter. Multiply the length by two in order to calculate the tire's diameter. With the exception of BMX models, most adult bicycle wheels are between 26 and 29 inches in diameter. If your tire is mounted, check the sidewall to find the measurement. The distance is the tire's width. It can vary greatly depending on the tire's intended use. Generally, the wider the tread, the rougher the intended terrain, while narrower treads promise a smoother, faster ride. Remember when purchasing a new tire that traditional, or standard sizes place the diameter first, followed by the width. For example, a tire sized 26 x 1.75 would have a 26-inch diameter and a 1.75-inch width across the tread.

SUMMARY: Stand the bike upright by leaning it against a wall or using the kick stand. Measure the distance in inches from the ground beneath the tire to the center point of the wheel. Measure the flat part of the tire across the tread from one side to the other. Put the diameter first and the width second.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For recent and especially light scars, you should begin with creams proven to reduce the appearance of scars. Flat scars less than two years old are the best candidates for these creams.  Pick a product containing healing ingredients such as quercetin, petrolatum, and vitamin C.  Equally as important is minimizing a scar’s exposure to sunlight. Scar tissue does not react to sunlight the same way as normal tissue, so exposing a fresh scar to sunlight can permanently darken a scar, making it more apparent. There are various makeups available on the market that can temporarily hide a scar. Choose a proper color to match your skin tone and test the makeup or cream on your skin to see if you need to blend any colors for the desired effect.  Matching your skin tone can be a challenge for someone who isn’t familiar with the process. Try asking a consultant at a department or specialty store’s beauty counter for tips. Learning how to apply concealer can also take some practice. Follow the steps outlined at Apply Concealer to learn how. For deeper scars or instances when you need longer-lasting concealment than regular makeup may provide, you can look into specialty scar-camouflaging kits that contain a mixture of adhesive creams and powders. These kits form a paste that you can use to cover up a scar and can last much longer than regular makeup. You can often find these kits sold at any beauty supply shop, drugstore, or salon. Some thin, skin-tone specific concealing tapes are on the market as well. These products are best used by cutting the adhesive to match the general shape of your scar so that it blends in with the rest of your skin.
Summary: Apply a medicated, scar-reducing cream. Apply concealing makeup. Apply a scar-camouflaging kit. Use concealing or micropore tape.

Every school has a different set of rules that outline what you are allowed to wear. Although these rules vary, most schools require you to dress on the conservative side, and never show your midriff. Check out your specific school rules in the school handbook, or by asking an administrator at the school. Although you might be tempted to wear your best Friday night outfit to school, you have to remember that school is not a party. You are better off dressing comfortably. Regardless of the dress code, conservative outfits that are cute and casual are always the best option. If you show up to school too formally, others might think you are trying too hard. Keep in mind, you want to dress in a way that allows your teachers to have respect for you and not be distracted by your revealing clothes. Any attention you receive for your clothes should be positive, and not because your shirt is ultra low, or your pants are too tight. You do not want to find yourself breaking school rules and getting in trouble for inappropriate clothes. School is a professional atmosphere, so you should dress the part. Always check your clothes throughout the year for a proper fit. A top that may have once fit you perfectly, might now be riding a little too high on your stomach. Use these steps to check your clothes before you leave the house:  Raise your arms in the air, and if your stomach shows, do not wear it to school. Bend over and touch your toes to check your pants. If you find that your underwear sits higher than the top of your pants, it may be time to get rid of them. Bend over, and check the top of your shirt. If you have a lot of cleavage showing, pick a shirt that is more conservative. Do not wear a shirt that shows your bra strap. Many schools require you to have at least three fingers of coverage on your shoulders. Check the length of your skirt, dress, or shorts by putting your arms straight down by your side. If the length is shorter than your finger tips, it is not appropriate for school.

One-sentence summary -- Follow the school dress code. Dress casually. Be sure your clothes fit well.

Q: Hold up a mirror and examine all sides of your head. Look for lines left over from layering. Also, check to see if the hair length on the top of your head is balanced with the length of the fade. Go back over with the clippers to make adjustments, then finish by using trimmers or a razor to reach areas such as your neckline or near your ears. As you are learning, the haircut may not come out very well at first. You can try to correct it, or you can cut your hair short and wait for it to grow back so you can try again. Once you believe you are finished clipping, you can style the hair on the top of your head using gel or another product. This is of course optional and not needed if you chose a short fade. Because a fade involves short cuts, hair growth will be noticeable. You'll see the layers start to disappear as the hair gets longer and messier. Go back and fade your hair again or have a barber trim it. A friend can not only tell you when it's time for a haircut, but can tell you where you need to make corrections after you cut your hair.
A: Check your hair in the mirror and make corrections. Style your hair. Renew the haircut every few weeks.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can find a nail set at your local hardware store if you don’t have one. Hold the pointed end of the nail set on the head of the nail. Hammer the nail set so the nail goes into the trim. If the trim is held on with staples, use a flat-head screwdriver approximately the same size as the staples to tap them into the trim. Use a putty knife or painter’s 5-in-1 tool to pry up any staples or nails that are bent into the wood. Then, use needle-nose pliers to remove the staple or nail from the trim. Sometimes nail holes in trim can form a raised edge. It’s important to get rid of these edges on the trim or they’ll show after you fill the holes. Scrape the putty knife across the surface of the nail hole a few times to smooth out the area around the hole.  Be gentle when you’re using the putty knife. You don’t want to cause damage to the trim around the nail holes. If the trim has ridges or raised edges, use a butter knife to remove the fragments so you don’t damage the details. Any sandpaper with a grade between 120 and 220 will work. The sandpaper should be able to get off any raised fragments on the trim that the putty knife couldn’t. Brush the sandpaper across the surface of the nail holes a few times until they feel smooth.

SUMMARY:
Hammer in any nails that are protruding from the trim with a nail set. Use a putty knife to scrape off any raised fragments around the holes. Smooth down the nail holes with fine-grit sandpaper.
