INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Making a crocheted wreath is one of the easiest types of Christmas ornaments that you can crochet, but you will need a few things to complete this project. You will need:  A ball of green yarn (medium weight). A size J (size 10) hook. Embellishments of your choice, such as pompoms, sequins, buttons, ribbon, etc. A pair of scissors. White glue or hot glue. To start your wreath, make a single chain of 10 crocheted loops. Then, connect the first loop with the last loop to form a circle. This will be the base of your wreath and you will build on it by crocheting around the outer edges. To connect the first and last loops, insert the crochet hook through the first and last loops, and then loop your yarn over the hook and pull this loop through. To begin building your wreath outwards, you will need to crochet around the outer edges of your circle using the hook. Use a double crochet stitch to expand the wreath outwards. You can make the wreath as wide as you like, but you should only need to stitch one to three times around the circle. When you have made the circle as wide as you want it to be, you can connect the ends and close it off. To do this, take your hook with the last loop you created still on it and insert it into a nearby loop. After you pass the hook through this loop, wrap the yarn over the needle and then pull it through. To secure the last loop, crochet one more loop from the free end of the yarn, cut the end of the yarn, and then pull it tight to make a knot. You can sew this end into the edge of your wreath with a darning needle. To embellish your wreath, you will can add buttons, sequins, pompoms, ribbon, or any other embellishments that you want to add. Use a white glue or a hot glue gun to secure the embellishments on the wreath. You can use any color of embellishments that you like. To hang your wreath on a Christmas tree, you will need to add an ornament hook or a piece of yarn. If you are using yarn, then tie together the ends of a 6” to 8” piece of yarn. Then, use your crochet hook to loop this yarn through the top of your wreath and then pull it through itself to secure the yarn. You can use the loop to hang the wreath ornament on your tree.

SUMMARY: Gather your materials. Make a chain of 10 and connect the ends. Crochet around the circle using double crochet. Complete the circle. Add embellishments. Finish with a hook or piece of yarn.

If your laptop has numeric pad capabilities, the NumLock key will be found on the F7, F8, or Insert key. It may be labeled "NmLk," and written in a different color below the normal key function. On laptops with a dedicated numeric pad (15 inch+), the dedicated NumLock key can be found next to ← Backspace. Some popular models, notably most of the ThinkPad line, do not have NumLock keys at all, because there is no built-in numeric pad. See the previous section for workarounds. Fn key and press NmLk. You can find the Fn key in the lower-left corner of the keyboard. The NmLk key may be F7, F8, or Insert. The NumLock indicator in the upper-right corner will turn on when the NumLock feature is active. When NumLock is activated, the keys on the right side of your keyboard turn into the numeric pad. You'll see the numbers and symbols that they turn into written on the keys below the regular characters. If you have a 15"+ laptop, you'll likely have a dedicated numeric pad to the right of the keyboard. These turn into arrow keys when NumLock is off. You can turn NumLock off and return to your regular keyboard functions by pressing Fn and the NumLock key again.

SUMMARY: Find the NumLock key on your keyboard. Hold the . Use the numeric keypad keys on your keyboard. Turn NumLock off when you're finished with the numeric pad.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can fix the nail, you need to make sure that your hands are clean and free of oils.  Use warm water and soap to wash your hands or feet. Dry well with a clean towel. Wash and dry carefully to avoid accidentally snagging the torn nail and making matters worse. If the tip of your nail broke off completely and you want to reattach it, soak the broken tip in warm water until it feels pliable again. If your nail is still attached or still pliable, disregard this step. Use the tip of the toothpick to ease the broken portion of the nail back into place. Press down on the nail with firm, even pressure, using the side of the toothpick.  Again, it is important to avoid getting glue directly on your fingers. Apply pressure for at least 1 minute to ensure that the nail adheres properly.

SUMMARY: Wash your hands or feet. Soak the detached nail in warm water. Press the nail into place.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . Let the butter soften at room temperature, so it is easily pressed but has not begun to melt. Beat this with an electric mixer's paddle attachment or a wooden spoon until smooth. Add sugar gradually. Beat until the mix becomes lighter in color and expands in volume.. Beat in the following ingredients, one at a time. Scrape the sides of the bowl down after each ingredient is thoroughly mixed. The additional egg white is important for making a cake sturdy enough to support the pineapple, while staying light and fluffy.  2 whole eggs 1 egg white 2 tbsp (30 mL) pineapple juice from the can. (Skip if using fresh pineapple, or substitute lemon juice.) 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract, or the flavoring extract of your choice Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. Whisk for a few seconds to combine. Add about ⅓ of the flour mixture to the bowl of creamed butter, and beat until no dry lumps remain. Beat in ¼ cup (60 mL) milk. Repeat with another ⅓ of the flour mixture, then another ¼ cup (60 mL) milk, then the last of the flour mixture. Just beat the ingredients until you can't see any dry flour. This batter does not need to be smooth. Spread it out with a knife so the batter covers the fruit completely and evenly. You can do this directly in the skillet used to cook the pineapple. Bake at 350 °F (177 °C) for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you have a cooking thermometer, the cake is ready when the center reaches 190–200ºF (88–93ºC). Let cool for five minutes, then loosen the edge of the cake with a knife. Put on your oven mitts and place a large serving plate over the skillet. Carefully turn the skillet and plate upside down, then lift the skillet.  Choose a serving plate with a rim, to catch the juices. If the pineapple is left behind on the pan, use a spatula to transfer it back onto the cake. This won't make a difference to the cake's appearance.

SUMMARY:
Cream the butter and sugar Add eggs and pineapple juice. Sift together the dry ingredients. Gradually combine milk, flour, and butter mixtures. Pour the batter over the pineapple. Bake the cake. Let cool and flip upside down.
