Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pile up as much sand you can muster with a shovel into a large hill. Find a long straight piece of material that will help you make square sides like stairs. Square off and flatten the top of the sand pile. Hold the straight edge tool horizontally and cut downward on one side of the mound to start the first stair riser. Pull the straight edge out towards you a few inches to make the first level stair after you have cut down a few inches into the sand. Make the second stair exactly how you did the first cut by starting a few inches away form the first stair. Continue the “cut down, pull out” method multiple times all the way down the side of the mound. Go to the next side of the mound (right or left, it does not mater) and continue the method the same. Finish off all four sides. Finished.

Answer: If you have a friend helping you, have one person shovel while the other splashes water on the freshly dug sand. Moisture is important. This straight-edged tool can be the back of a sand chair, a 2x4 piece of lumber or even the pole of a sand umbrella. Make sure it’s a cube or a rectangular prism. This will push the sand down the hill a little so do not worry what it looks like from the bottom. Focus on the top.  Be very careful at this step for if you have very dry sand you can have a collapse. Try to keep the stairs as level as possible. Try to match the stair levels on the corners as best you can but remember you do not have to be perfect. Mayan pyramids and Egyptian pyramids typically have only 4 sides.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a thick makeup. Use a brush to apply. Apply a small amount at first. Try using a scar camouflaging kit.

Answer: There are many brands that formulate their makeup specifically to cover tattoos or discoloration, and these are also the best types to use to try to cover scarring. You may have to find these in specialty stores or online.  Look for a brand that has a good variety of shades to choose from. You want to match the shade you select to the skin around your scar, not to the scar itself. Look for a brand that specifically claims to cover or camouflage tattoos or scars; there are several highly rated ones you can search for online or in stores. If you can't find any of these in stores near you, try any "full coverage" or "maximum coverage" foundation or concealer, especially those available in stick form, as they tend to be more covering than liquids. Brushes create the smoothest application and help to blend makeup into crevices. Look for a small, rounded brush that is advertised as a concealer brush. Using the brush, gently pat a small amount of concealer or foundation across your scars and the surrounding skin. Add another thin layer if one layer is not enough. If you want to, you can set it with translucent pressed or loose powder to help it last longer. A kit generally contains several products that are designed to work together to cover scars. These kits can be more expensive than regular makeup, and more time intensive to apply. But if you have an important event like a wedding or job interview, it might be a good investment. Search for "tattoo covering kit" or "scar covering kit" online to find many different options along with user reviews.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pay attention to the phrasing of the apology. Watch for any passive aggressive phrasing in the apology. Rely on your gut instinct. Consider if you are ready to accept the person’s apology. Don't be afraid to give yourself time or have a longer conversation.

Answer: Note if they use “I” statements, such as “I realize now what I did was wrong and I regret what I did.” You should also listen to their tone of voice and their body language. Most people maintain eye contact and use a sincere tone of voice when they are apologizing. Avoidance of eye contact, or a flat or sarcastic tone, may signal that a person isn't being serious.  An authentic apology should be direct and heartfelt. For example: “I realize now that what I did was wrong and I regret it. I apologize for my actions and hope you can find a way to forgive me.” Keep in mind that body language can vary based on a person's background and disability. For example, someone with social anxiety might avoid eye contact while being sincere. This may be a sign the apology is not genuine. If someone doesn't really want to apologize, they may be quick to point out how you were wrong, or blame you for most or all of what happened. This type of phrasing could be a sign that the apology is not heartfelt and is really a way for the person to pass blame onto you or to not have to deal with the consequences of their actions.  For example, a passive aggressive apology might be: “Well, I asked you to go to the party with me, but you refused. I went alone and lied to you about it. If you'd said yes in the first place, I wouldn't have had to lie. Sorry.” In the above example, this person may not be giving you an authentic apology and may just be leaning on a bad habit of using an apology to get out of a sticky situation. For all the analysis you can do on a person's intentions, often your gut instinct can be a good gauge of whether or not to trust and accept the person's apology. Take a moment to consider the apology and listen to your gut feelings about the person and their apology. Ask yourself:   Is your gut telling you the person is being honest and sincere? Do you have any feelings of doubt or confusion around the person? Does the apology to you sound sincere? Before you accept the apology, you may want to consider the context around the apology and how well you know the person. For example:  If the person apologizing is a close friend who already has a history of bad behavior, ask yourself if they're using apologies to try to avoid facing consequences. If a family member or partner is apologizing to you for something out of character and rare, you may be more amenable to accepting their apology. People make mistakes or hurt others for a variety of reasons. It's important that you are willing to move past the person’s mistake, especially if they offer a sincere apology. If you are still questioning whether or not you believe the person’s apologetic tone, you may want to have a longer conversation with them about your concerns.  This may be a better approach than accepting an apology you do not believe is sincere and remaining resentful or upset, despite appearing to be okay with the situation.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get ready to bake the cake. Make the egg yolk mixture. Make the egg white mixture. Finish the batter. Bake the cake.

Answer:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 15 inch (38.1 cm) by 10 inch (25.4 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper with olive oil or cooking oil to make sure the cake won't stick.  In order to make a log roll, the cake must be baked in a large, shallow pan, rather than a stout pan. A cookie sheet with 1-inch high sides should do the trick. Don't skimp on greasing the parchment paper. It's important for the cake to stay intact when you lift it from the pan. Place the yolks in a large mixing bowl, and use either a whisk or a hand mixture to beat them well, until they're light and yellow. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and the pumpkin, and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Place the egg whites in a separate mixing bowl. Beat them until soft peaks begin to form. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating until the egg whites become stiffer and glossy.  Be sure the beaters or whisk  you use to beat the whites are clean and dry, or you won't be able to get peaks to form. Add the sugar gradually as you beat, rather than pouring it in all at once, to achieve a glossy texture. Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture with a spatula. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then pour it into the wet mixture. Use the spatula to gently stir the ingredients until the batter comes together. Pour the batter into the baking pan. Use the spatula to smooth it evenly across the pan, all the way to the sides and into the corners. Place the pan in the oven and bake the cake for about 15 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.  Check the cake by touching it with the back of a spoon. If it springs back, it's finished. Don't overbake the cake, or it will get crumbly. Remove it from the oven when it is just finished. Don't let the cake cool completely before moving to the next step.
