INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour both liquids into a deep bucket or similar container, being careful not to let them spill or splash. Aim for approximately one quarter of bleach for every three quarts of water you use. Stir the bleach solution using a wooden dowel.  Chlorine bleach is a caustic chemical that can be extremely harmful if ingested, inhaled or contacted with bare skin. Whenever possible, wear gloves, eye protection and a ventilator or breathing mask when working with bleach. Never combine bleach with hot water—the steam emitted from the water can carry bleach fumes with it, creating a potential breathing hazard. Heat may also partially neutralize the effects of bleach. Apply the bleach solution using a long-handled brush or roller. As an alternative, you could place the chlorine mixture in a sprayer to avoid making a mess and exposing your extremities to harsh chemicals. Pay special attention to spotted mildew growth and areas with especially heavy discoloration.  Test a sample of diluted bleach on an out-of-the way area of the concrete to make sure it won’t leech the color out of a treated surface. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated space. If your patio is partially covered, leave the doors and windows open and plan on spending no longer than about ten minutes at a time inside the enclosure. The stain-fighting power of the bleach should take effect very quickly.   To be on the safe side, it’s a good idea to go somewhere else while the bleach is soaking into the concrete. If even bleach isn’t enough to do away with trouble stains like hard water or rust, try using a sprinkle of trisodium phosphate. Finish by spraying the patio with a pressure washer to blast away any visible dirt or residue dissolved by the bleach. When you’re finished, your concrete should look as good as it did when it was first poured! Give the patio ample time to dry, then have a few friends over to enjoy your clean, inviting outdoor space. A quick pressure washing or hosing will also help clear the air of irritating bleach fumes.

SUMMARY: Mix together chlorine bleach and warm water. Brush the bleach over the stained concrete. Leave the bleach to sit for 15 minutes. Pressure wash the patio.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This size is usually easy to find, as it's the one used in most printers.

SUMMARY: Start with a standard letter-sized piece of paper that measures 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches (A4, printer paper).


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: First, carry a little notebook around with you and jot down possible members. Look at your names and narrow it down to a few. Make a pro/con list about each one. Select two or three names (your clique should have three to six members, including you) to be in your clique. You should have an alpha (the leader of the clique-you!), a beta (the alpha's assistant, second-in-command, and best friend), 1 or 2 "Charlies" (third on the group's importance list; the supporters), and the followers (members of the clique who will respect you without a doubt). Do everything together, from shopping to eating lunch in the cafeteria. Make sure you are always seen with them, so people start to see you as a clique. Have a little thing you all wear, like a piece of jewelry. Don't be too forward with the jewelry, or whatever you've chosen. Only proceed with this step when you have become best friends with your clique. Then, after school, or during a private moment, present to them. Then, casually, say, "Hey, why don't we all wear these on ___?" If the tables are all connected, put your stuff on the chairs surrounding you, so that no one sits there. Also, make sure that your clique follows steps 1-6, so it will look like a clique. Tip: make a copy of the same playlist on their phones and memorize the night before or wear them in your ears to school. (Try Pretty Girl Rock; it's a nice one for confidence.) Ensure that your clique is always having fun all the time, to make everyone envy you, hence making you the "it" clique.

SUMMARY: Start your clique. Become friends with the girls in your clique. Have a lot of inside jokes and secrets between you guys so you feel more like a group. Don't let anyone else sit with you at lunch. Move in sync with your clique everywhere you go.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most stuck songs, or earworms, are actually parts of a song, such as a catchy chorus or even just a line or two. Your brain might be replaying this because it's stuck on where to go next. Listen to the complete song from beginning to end. This may be the most effective solution, although there are still plenty of times it doesn't work. Engaging with the song doesn't work for everyone. If you hate the idea of listening to the song again, read the section below on distraction techniques. Unclear or forgotten lyrics can also frustrate your brain. Look the lyrics up online. Sing them aloud or sing silently to yourself to help your brain process the song. If you can memorize all the lyrics, this might make the song too long to hold in your head. If you can play an instrument, try to recreate the song. Grappling with the music and working out how to play it solves the problem for many musicians. Try out different tweaks and variations to break the repetitive cycle. Even if you find this difficult, a sense of control can make you less anxious about the situation. For a few minutes, or until you start feeling frustrated, try to change the song in the following ways:  Imagine turn down the volume knob of the song until it sounds like a whisper. Imagine your mind as a room with many rooms. Build barriers in front of the song, slowly caging it into a smaller and smaller area. Each time you add a barrier, the song becomes quieter and more muffled. 'Play' the song in your head at a different tempo, imagining it as (very) slow or fast. Once the song is quiet, it's time to end it. Use more visualization techniques to kick it out of your head once and for all:  Visualize a sword or sharp object within your head, severing the link between your mind and the song. Imagine a record player in as much detail as possible. Look closely at the needle moving through the groove as the song plays. Lift the needle and listen to the sudden silence.  When you get to the end of the song, sing the last note (aloud or in your head), then let the pitch drop steadily until it's much lower than any note in the song. This can sometimes prevent it starting again.

SUMMARY:
Listen to the song all the way through. Look up the lyrics. Play the song on an instrument. Visualize the song changing. Picture the song ending.
