INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your parents may not mind if you build a fort in your bedroom, but they may not be happy if you build a fort in their living room. Ask your parents if you can use and move the chairs, blankets, and pillows to build a fort. Try to use a room that already has the basics for your fort in it, such as chairs and a sofa. This way, you won't have to move furniture around that much. This includes the seat and the back cushions. You may find lots of treasures under these cushions. See if there are any worth saving (such as money and toys) and store them in a box. Discard gross items, such as trash and crumbs. No fort is complete without a treasure box. Take a cushion and place it on the seat of the sofa. Lean it against the armrest, so that the side you sit on is touching the armrest. The edge of the cushion should be touching the backrest of the sofa.  If you are using regular pillows instead, put two pillows on each armrest. You want the pillows to reach the top of the sofa, so you may need more pillows. Keep stacking pillows until they are even with the top of the sofa. If you have extra cushions, you can stand them on the edge of the couch, between the two armrests. Make sure that the narrow ends of the blanket are covering the cushions, and the long edge is covering the top of the backrest. Tug on the ends so that the blanket is stretched across the top of your fort.  Something light, such as a bed sheet will work the best, because it will be less likely to make your fort cave in. Blankets and comforters are thick and will make your fort nice and dark inside because they block out light. They are also heavy, however, and may cause your fort to cave in. You can crawl into your fort now, or you can make it even bigger by using more furniture and pillows. Push two chairs in front of the sofa and turn them so that they face each other. Lean more pillows against the legs of the chairs, and drape a bed sheet over the top of the chairs. For more ideas, read the part about building a fort around chairs.

SUMMARY: Ask your parents if you can build a fort. Find a suitable room to structure your fort in. Take cushions off the sofa. Use the seat cushions to make some walls. Drape a blanket over the cushions and sofa. Think about expanding your fort.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Measure out the clear glue, and place it directly into the bowl of slime. Use a spoon to mix it into the slime thoroughly, and once it starts to hold together, take the slime out and knead it. After 2-3 minutes, the slime should no longer be runny.  If ¼ cup (60 ml) of clear glue isn’t enough to thicken the slime, add another ¼ cup (60 ml) of clear glue and stir the mixture again. It should change to a thicker consistency. If you have the time, leave the slime in a sealed bag overnight once you have added the clear glue. This will help it to gel together. Get the extra Borax, and place it into the bowl with the slime. Use a spoon to thoroughly stir it into the slime. Keep adding ¼ tbsp (0.43 g) of borax at a time until there is no excess liquid left'

SUMMARY: Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of clear glue if the slime is made with liquid starch. Use ¼ tbsp (0.43 g) of borax if you need to thicken Borax slime.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Does it match the routing diagram exactly and look like the belt you took off? If the belt does not fit properly or is not installed correctly it could damage several important components of your car such as the water pump, alternator, etc. If possible it is best to have a friend start your car while you watch the belt. You want to be sure that it is running smoothly with no squealing or slipping. Be careful to keep your hair and clothing away from any moving parts under the hood of your vehicle. If you notice anything wrong such as slack in the belt or squealing, consult your routing diagram again. You may need to re-run the belt or make sure that it is properly tensioned. You should also check again to be sure all accessory pulleys are turning freely, including the tensioner. If you cannot diagnose the problem you should take your vehicle to a professional.

SUMMARY: Step back and look at the belt. Start your car. Troubleshoot any problems.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Swelling in the skin on and around your eyes can make them look smaller. Try these steps to reduce puffiness:  Get plenty of sleep. Wash your face with cool water. Place cold, used teabags over your eyes. The tannins in the tea act as an astringent, tightening the skin. Reduce your salt intake. Too much salt leads to water retention, which leads to eye puffiness. Exercise to increase circulation, which in turn reduces water retention.

SUMMARY:
Reduce any puffiness in your eyes.
