Pour the shock into the pool slowly, moving around the pool as you do. Read the directions on the bottle to see how long to wait before swimming.

Answer: Also, wear long sleeves and pants that you don't mind messing up. These clothes will help protect you from the chemicals you'll be using. The pool needs to be circulating to mix the shock in. It's best to shock the pool at dusk. This will prevent the sun's UV rays from affecting the chlorine or other chemical and ensures that the majority of the chemical is available to shock the pool. Fill the bucket up two-thirds of the way with water. Add 1 pound (0.45 kg) of pool shock to the water, then stir it to mix it in. Go slowly so you don't splash the chemical on yourself.  Always be careful with this chemical, as it could burn your skin. Only mix 1 pound (0.45 kg) at a time. If you need more, do it a single bucket at a time. Never put the chemical in first. You risk splashing it out on yourself when you add the water. Whether you're using a liquid product or one you need to mix bucket-by-bucket, add it by walking around your pool and pouring it in at different places. Pour slowly so you don't splash yourself with the chemical. Make sure you don't get it on your skin. If you do, wash it off immediately, then check the back of the bottle to see if they recommend calling poison control. Usually, you need to wait at least 8 hours to swim, so read the bottle carefully. However, if you're using a non-chlorine shock, you may only need to wait 15 minutes before swimming. Swimming in water with too much chlorine is very dangerous. Wait until the water reads 3 ppm or less when you test it using a DPD kit.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for signs that your kitten might be depressed. Spend more time with your kitten. Find things that will entertain your kitten. Consider whether or not your kitten is depressed because she is sick.

Answer: Aside from eating, there several signs that your kitten is depressed. These include a lack of energy and sleeping more than usual, loss of interest in her regular activities, becoming reclusive, or showing aggressive behavior. The most common reason that kittens become depressed is because they are not shown enough attention. To combat your kitten’s depression and get her to start eating again, play with her and show her love as much as you can. Hold her while you are working or watching a movie, play with her in the mornings and afternoons, and praise her with treats and affection. You can’t always be home to play with your kitten. Invest in some toys that will keep your kitten entertained while you are away. Climbing trees, toys, scratching posts, and food puzzles are all great ways to keep your kitten entertained while you are away. Consider getting your kitten a friend. If you can afford to do so, you may want to bring another kitten into your home so that each kitten will have someone else to play with; however, it's important to keep in mind that integrating a new kitten can get harder as your original kitten gets older. If you pay a lot of attention to your kitten and are constantly showing her love, she is probably not depressed because you don’t play with her. Instead, she is probably depressed because she is in pain in some way, either through sickness or because she got hurt. If you can’t seem to figure out what is ailing your kitten, take her to the vet. Kittens should be playful and alert. The most likely reason for a kitten to be depressed is immediately after homing. If you have owned the kitten for a while and she is quiet, then it's more likely there is a health problem.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be aware of the three elements of a rap beat. Take inspiration from an existing song. Look for original beats online. Sample a portion of an existing track.

Answer: Learn to identify the three key elements of a hip hop beat in a song: the kick, the snare, and the hi-hats. These three elements need to be placed in a music program in a consistent pattern to create a hip hop vibe.  The kick is similar to the drum kick on drums. Most rap beats have syncopated kicks, or kicks that are in time with each other and follow a beat, which form the foundation of the beat. You can also layer your kicks, or use more than one kick at a time, to get a sharper sounding beat.  The snare is works with the kick to create the rhythm for the beat. Most rap beats have a snare every other bar to give the beat more depth. You can layer your snare by adding in other percussion like claps or cymbals.  The hi-hats give a rap beat a crisp and clipped sound, helping to keep the beat consistent and rhythmic. In rap songs, hi-hats are often played in an eight note pattern to keep the beat on time. You can also pause the hi-hats at certain points in the song to let the other instruments in the song shine through. Before you create your own beat or look for original beats, you should focus on a certain sound you want to emulate or reference. This could be a Top 40 hip hop track or an obscure track from the 70s or 80s. You could also be inspired by music outside of hip hop, like soul or funk music or even folk music.  You can then treat your rap song as a tribute to an existing track or another artist who is making music you respect and admire. Think of your song as a unique take on an existing sound. You may also want to create a certain mood with your song, such as a song to party to or bang to, or a more serious and socially conscious rap song. Most party songs tend to have a quicker tempo and a melody that people will want to dance or move to. A more serious or somber rap song may have a darker or heavier and slower beat. There are many computer programs that allow you to create beats quickly and easily. These programs, like Fruity Loops, often give you access to large sound libraries that you can play around with and manipulate as you create a beat. You can find many free original beats online that you can repurpose for your rap song. Keep in mind the sounds that you are using for inspiration and look for an original beat that best matches your inspirational song. If you are planning to create a high energy party rap song, you may look for an original beat that sounds a lot like your favorite party rap songs. If you are planning to create a more somber or serious rap song, you may look for an original beat that emulates your favorite serious or somber rap songs. Many rap artists will sample a portion of an existing track and integrate it into their original song, making it part of the beat of the song. You can take a section of an existing track and see how it might fit within your song, either as part of the beat or even as a vocal sample in the hook of your song. Many popular rap songs are based on samples. A list of sampled songs in hip hop can be found on Whosampled.com.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use extreme caution with valuable coins. Pick dirt out of small crevices. Rub with silver polish. Wipe with a paste of baking soda and water. Remove hard deposits with ammonium. Use extra-harsh treatments as a last resort.

Answer:
Cleaning a rare, collectible coin can reduce its value by over 50% due to tiny scratches or the removal of the tarnish. If the gentle cleaning methods above do not work, it's safer to have it cleaned professionally or accept an imperfect appearance. Feel free to use the methods below on common, non-collectible coins if you prefer a brighter appearance for your own collection.  An even gold, grey, or iridescent tarnish (toning) is desirable and increases the coin's value.  A black or blotchy tarnish is not ideal, but harsh cleaning can still lower the value. Continue very carefully or take it to a professional. After washing the coin in soapy water, you may still see dark areas outlining letters or detailed images. Wash again and pick away this dirt slowly and carefully using a toothpick or bamboo skewer. Take care not to scratch the coin, since the pick can scratch away the tarnish. Pointy plastic utensils are slower, but less likely to scratch the coin. Silver polishes clean metal using acid and abrasives, both of which eat away a small layer of metal. This is an easy way to brighten non-collectible coins, but will almost certainly damage the value of collectibles:  Put a coin-sized dollop of polish on a soft cloth. Fold the cloth in half to transfer the polish to two sides. Place the coin between the fold of cloth. Rub together briefly. Wipe off the coin on a clean part of the cloth. This cheaper alternative to silver polish also abrades the silver coin, causing scratches that will be visible under a magnifying glass. Minimize damage by using distilled water and mixing in just a little baking soda to make a watery paste. Dip the entire coin the paste, rub between your fingers for a minute, then rinse with water. Repeat two or three times if necessary. Pat dry. A thick buildup on ancient coins is likely "horn silver" (silver chloride). This may be worth removing, especially if it prevents identification. Submerge the coin in a 10% ammonia solution in a tightly sealed container. Remove it after a few minutes, rinse immediately in water, then brush with a soft toothbrush. Repeat as needed.   Warning: ammonia liquid and fumes are corrosive. Wear neoprene gloves and work in a ventilated area.  Some hard buildups are the result of a different chemical reaction, which may require other treatments. Consult a coin dealer first if the coin might be valuable. The following treatments are especially risky. Without expert supervision, they may remove the tarnish or pit the coin's surface. These are more often used on ancient coins, where heavy buildup may prevent identification or severely lower the value. Relatively modern, machine-made coins should only be treated this way if they have little collector's value and an unattractive tarnish:  Soak the coin in a 50/50 mix of distilled water and lemon juice for one hour.  Soak the coin in 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice mixed into 1.5 cups (360 mL) olive oil. Warm this in a heat safe container inside a water bath, but keep it below boiling.  "Dipping" treatments can return a coin to a frosty white silver appearance, which some collectors value. However, this is an extremely risky procedure that can cause blemishes to appear. Hiring a professional is strongly recommended, but you can buy a dipping solution to use at home.
