Problem: Article: Glide on an left outside edge in a curve slightly to the left. Your arms should be straightened behind you. Your right knee should go up in the air in front of you. As you bring your knee up, bring your arms close to your chest. Imagine that you are trying to get on a bike. This is one method of getting comfortable with the feeling of a waltz jump). Keep in mind that you are not jumping yet, you are just getting the feel of the jump. As you start the take-off, you should be leaving the ice on your left toe-pick so it is the last part of your boot that leaves the ice. Never rise off the ground on a flat blade. Never think of rotation; if you are in the right starting position you will automatically make the half rotation necessary. Don't get frustrated if it takes you some time, just keep practicing until you can go pretty high off the ground. You're going to jump off the ground, lifting up your right leg, followed closely with your left leg. When you land, be sure to keep your right foot straight. After landing, you should be skating on your right leg with your left leg extended behind you, gliding backwards. do three or four of these, and do a forward inside three turn as soon as you turn, jump with your right leg and land.
Summary: Push and glide on your left leg with the left leg being slightly bent and the right bent slightly behind you. Kick your right leg up. Swing your right foot over, and immediately bring your left foot over and extend it behind you. As you swing your right foot over, you are going to jump with your left foot before the right foot hits the ground. If you are stroking forward, do two or three powerful strokes and bend your knees. If you are doing backwards crossovers, they should be left over right.

Problem: Article: Do not use red food coloring, honey, or any other type of sugar; any of these things may end up harming the hummingbirds. Honey spoils too quickly, and low-calorie and artificial sweeteners do not give hummingbirds enough calories. Hummingbirds are attracted to the color red; consider using a red-colored hummingbird feeder. This will be more effective than dying the water red. Even though you are using much more water than sugar, you will still need to heat it in order for the sugar to dissolve completely. This should take one to two minutes. Boiling the water is important, because the high heat will kill any bacteria that might be in the water. Set the pot down on a heat-resistant surface and let the mixture cool. During this time, you can clean your hummingbird feeder or make a new one. The sugar water will later about two weeks in the fridge. If you wish to attract hummingbirds with tasty sugar water, you will need to change it every two to three days—and everyday if it is hot outside. Hummingbirds will not drink spoiled sugar water. Also, be sure to keep your hummingbird feeder in the shade; keeping it out in the sun will cause the sugar to spoil faster. Hummingbirds are not the only creatures who like nectar; bees and ants will also flock to your sugar water. Consider purchasing a hummingbird feeder with a moat that can be filled with water, or some bee guards.
Summary: Pour 4 cups (960 milliliters) of water and 1 cup (200 grams) cane sugar into a pot. Set the pot on a stove and set the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook it until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove the pot from the stove and let it cool. Fill the hummingbird feeder and store the rest of the sugar water in the refrigerator. Maintain your hummingbird feeder. Consider keeping other insects away.

Problem: Article: Take a damp cloth to remove as much of the spilled paint as possible. Use the damp cloth scoop up the paint and wipe it, rather than spreading it around. Do this until you can’t remove any more paint with only the damp cloth. After you’ve wiped up as much paint as possible, pour rubbing alcohol onto a cloth. Place the cloth on top of the area with the spilled paint. You may have to use multiple cloths if the area is large. Allow the cloth to sit on top of the paint for ten minutes. Then, wipe it up with a damp cloth. If the paint has not been removed, you can use steel wool and liquid wax to remove the paint. Liquid wax can be bought at many car shops and supermarkets, like Walmart. The steel wool should be superfine, and it can be bought from most grocery stores. Dip the steel wool into the liquid wax and gently scrub the surface until the paint is removed. Once the paint has been removed, you will need to remove all of the cleaning products from the vinyl. Use mild soap and water to clean the area. You can dip a rag into the soap and water, or you can use a mop. Then, allow the floor to dry. You can apply a coat of wax to protect the floor once it has dried. If nothing else works to remove the paint, you can use a product called PEC-12. It’s a commercial solvent that is highly effective in removing oil stains, but but it is highly toxic. Make sure to use gloves, a face mask, and eye protection when using it. Apply PEC-12 to the damaged area and use a non-abrasive wipe or cotton balls to wipe off the paint. Then, rinse with water and pat it dry with a cloth. PEC-12 can be purchased online and at many camera supply shops because it is often used to clean cameras.
Summary: Wipe up the paint with a clean cloth. Use a cloth with rubbing alcohol. Dip steel wool into liquid wax. Clean the area. Use PEC-12.

Problem: Article: This project will require copper wire (anything from 24 to 28 gauge will do), a magnet, electrical tape, a D battery, and two paper clips. Place them all on the table in front of you so you have easy access as you go about assembling the motor.  You will also need wire strippers or a blade if your wire is insulated. You can purchase all of these things at your local hardware store or at most large retail stores. Take the D battery or any other cylindrical object and wrap your wire around it at least 7 to 10 times with 2 inches (5.1 cm) of wire sticking out from each end. This will create a coil that will ultimately make up the majority of the motor.  Keep the coil tight as you wrap the wire around the battery. Make sure to leave plenty of slack on either end of the coil as you wrap it. Pull the battery (or whatever cylinder you used) out from the top or bottom of the loop you created with the wire and set it aside. You should be left with just a coil.  Be careful not to let the wire unravel as you handle the coil. If the battery or cylinder is stuck, loosen the coil wrapped around it a bit to slide it out. Take one end of the wire and pull it through the coil so it wraps around the wire and helps to hold the shape of the coil. Then repeat the process with the other end of the wire on the opposite side of the loop of the coil.  You may want to wrap each end around the wire 2 or 3 times. Make sure to leave at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of wire extending out of each end of the coil. Press the end of the wire through the coil one more time, then run the wire through the loop that creates to secure it like a knot around the coil. Then repeat the process on the opposite side of the coil using the other end of the wire.  Once finished, the coil should look like a wire circle with the two ends extending out from opposing sides. These knots aren’t required for the function of the motor, but will help ensure the coil doesn’t unravel when you’re not holding it. If the loop of the coil isn’t holding its shape well, take a small piece of tape and wrap it around the wire on the top or bottom, where the wire ends aren’t extending out from. Use the same size piece of tape on the other side of the coil to keep it balanced.  You don’t need much electric tape. A piece only about .5 inches (1.3 cm) long will be fine. If the coil holds the shape of a circle without the tape, you can skip this step.
Summary:
Gather all of your materials. Roll wire around a cylindrical object like a battery to make a coil. Loosen the coil (if necessary) and remove the battery. Wrap each end of the wire around the coil several times. Tie a knot around the coil with each loose end of wire. Add electrical tape to opposite ends of the coil if it seems loose.
