Dip a clean rag in water and wash away any residue left behind by the baking soda solution. Use a clean towel to dry each surface. If your fridge smells bad, open a box of baking soda and leave it in the fridge. Baking soda absorbs odors and makes your fridge smell fresh.

summary: Wipe the solution away with a damp cloth. Leave a box of baking soda in the fridge.

Single pile snap is great for young kids, for example, because it is easier to track. Only one pile in the middle of the table has to be tracked instead of several piles around the table for all players. You can choose to play with education-themed cards for kids instead of regular playing cards. The deck does not have to be a full 52 cards. If children are playing, assist them in shuffling the cards or simply shuffle the deck for them. You can start with the person to the left of the dealer, or you can start with the youngest player or some other variation. No one should look at their cards while they are being dealt. This player turns the card at the top of his/her pile over and places it face-up in the middle of the table. All players will add to this central pile of face-up cards throughout the game. Each player will flip over the top card of his/her pile and place it at the top of the center pile. Each player must turn over his/her top card quickly so that no advantage is given to one person by seeing the card first. The player who calls “Snap!” collects the center pile and adds it to the bottom of his/her face-down pile. Play resumes after the pile has been collected. When this happens, push the center pile off to the side. Continue play with a new pile. The first player to spot a card that matches the top card in the original center pile calls “Snap pool!” and collects both piles. The cards are added to the bottom of his/her face-down pile. When this happens, the player who wrongly called “Snap!” must give the top card of his/her face-down pile to the player on whose card they mistakenly called “Snap!” When the other players of the game are out because they ran out of cards, the player who is still holding cards or who has won most of the cards by calling “Snap!” wins the game.

summary: Gather a group of players. Get a deck of cards. Shuffle the deck of cards. Deal the cards face-down one at a time until all cards have been dealt. Begin play with the person to the left of the dealer, the youngest player, or however you choose. Continue play in a clockwise fashion around the table. Call “Snap” when two matching cards are laid down one after the other on the center pile. Create a snap pool when multiple players call “Snap” at the same time during the game. Give away a card if a player calls “Snap” incorrectly. Continue play until only one player remains with cards.


Summarize the following:
You should briefly restate the topic as well as explaining why it is important.  Do not spend a great amount of time or space restating your topic. A good research paper will make the importance of your topic apparent, so you do not need to write an elaborate defense of your topic in the conclusion. Usually a single sentence is all you need to restate your topic. An example would be if you were writing a paper on the epidemiology of an infectious disease, you might say something like "Tuberculosis is a widespread infectious disease that affects millions of people worldwide every year."   Yet another example from the humanities would be a paper about the Italian Renaissance: "The Italian Renaissance was an explosion of art and ideas centered around artists, writers, and thinkers in Florence." Aside from the topic, you should also restate or rephrase your thesis statement.  A thesis is a narrowed, focused view on the topic at hand. This statement should be rephrased from the thesis you included in your introduction. It should not be identical or too similar to the sentence you originally used. Try re-wording your thesis statement in a way that complements your summary of the topic of your paper in your first sentence of your conclusion. An example of a good thesis statement, going back to the paper on tuberculosis, would be "Tuberculosis is a widespread disease that affects millions of people worldwide every year. Due to the alarming rate of the spread of tuberculosis, particularly in poor countries, medical professionals are implementing new strategies for the diagnosis, treatment, and containment of this disease." Essentially, you need to remind your reader what you told them in the body of the paper.  A good way to go about this is to re-read the topic sentence of each major paragraph or section in the body of your paper. Find a way to briefly restate each point mentioned in each topic sentence in your conclusion. Do not repeat any of the supporting details used within your body paragraphs. Under most circumstances, you should avoid writing new information in your conclusion. This is especially true if the information is vital to the argument or research presented in your paper. For example, in the TB paper you could summarize the information. "Tuberculosis is a widespread disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Due to the alarming rate of the spread of tuberculosis, particularly in poor countries, medical professionals are implementing new strategies for the diagnosis, treatment, and containment of this disease. In developing countries, such as those in Africa and Southeast Asia, the rate of TB infections is soaring. Crowded conditions, poor sanitation, and lack of access to medical care are all compounding factors in the spread of the disease. Medical experts, such as those from the World Health Organization are now starting campaigns to go into communities in developing countries and provide diagnostic testing and treatments. However, the treatments for TB are very harsh and have many side effects. This leads to patient non-compliance and spread of multi-drug resistant strains of the disease." If your paper proceeds in an inductive manner and you have not fully explained the significance of your points yet, you need to do so in your conclusion.  Note that this is not needed for all research papers. If you already fully explained what the points in your paper mean or why they are significant, you do not need to go into them in much detail in your conclusion. Simply restating your thesis or the significance of your topic should suffice. It is always best practice to address important issues and fully explain your points in the body of your paper. The point of a conclusion to a research paper is to summarize your argument for the reader and, perhaps, to call the reader to action if needed. If and when needed, you can state to your readers that there is a need for further research on your paper's topic.  Note that a call for action is not essential to all conclusions. A research paper on literary criticism, for instance, is less likely to need a call for action than a paper on the effect that television has on toddlers and young children. A paper that is more likely to call readers to action is one that addresses a public or scientific need. Let's go back to our example of tuberculosis. This is a very serious disease that is spreading quickly and with antibiotic-resistant forms. A call to action in this research paper would be a follow-up statement that might be along the lines of "Despite new efforts to diagnose and contain the disease, more research is needed to develop new antibiotics that will treat the most resistant strains of tuberculosis and ease the side effects of current treatments.". The conclusion of a paper is your opportunity to explain the broader context of the issue you have been discussing. It is also a place to help readers understand why the topic of your paper truly matters. You should use the conclusion to answer the “so what” question because the significance of your topic may not be obvious to readers. For example, if you are writing a history paper, then you might discuss how the historical topic you discussed matters today. If you are writing about a foreign country, then you might use the conclusion to discuss how the information you shared may help readers understand their own country.
summary: Restate the topic. Restate your thesis. Briefly summarize your main points. Add the points up. Make a call to action when appropriate. Answer the “so what” question.
