Article: . Tie the knot around the third to the last peg of the loom.    When you're done, you will have 2 loops on each peg. Do this to all of the pegs. As you pull the yarn up and over, slide the loop that remains back down to the base of the peg. Each time, you make a row of knitting for the hat. The knitting will hang down the middle of the loom. The bottom row is your first row of knitting. This step is optional, but it gives the hat a nice finished look. The brim will be half as long as your knitting to this point and will be a double thickness of knitting.  Reach through the middle and bring the very first row of knitting up and onto the pegs, essentially "folding" a brim. There will be two strands between stitches. These are the two strands you want to place on the peg. Repeat for all the stitches. Use the hook to pull the bottom loop up over the top two strands. Repeat for all pegs. After forming the brim, continue knitting the rest of the hat as above. The first row after the brim bring both strands up and over the new loop for every peg.    Repeat for the remaining pegs. Push the needle through the top center. Turn hat inside out. On the inside top of the hat, make a few stitches, then secure the loose end with a knot. Then cut the tail.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make a slip knot Wrap the yarn around the peg to the left of the first peg, starting at the back, around the front, and to the back again. Continue wrapping each peg to the left, just as in the previous step. Push all the loops down to the base of the loom, so they sit at the bottom of the pegs. Wrap each peg again, starting with the first peg, then moving left. Take the hook and pull the bottom loop over the top and off of the peg. Continue making loops and pulling the existing ones over the new loops (repeating the previous two steps). When the knitting is at least 3" (7.5 cm) long, make the brim of the hat. When the knitting is long enough for a hat (about 8" or 20cm for an adult hat, 6-7" or 15-18cm for a child hat) cut the yarn, leaving about 2 feet (60cm) of yarn to work with. Thread the yarn tail through a blunt needle. Take the loop off the first peg and thread the yarn through it. Move to the left. Pull the yarn tight. Sew a pom pom to the top.

Problem: Article: Yeast loves nothing better than a warm, moist climate to live its yeasty life to the fullest. If you want your dough to rise, you need to give the yeast what it wants.  Fill a baking pan with boiling water, and set it on the lowest rack in your oven. Place the container of dough on the middle rack, and close the oven door and allow the dough to rise. Alternately, you can boil a cup of water in the microwave, then place the container of dough in the microwave with the water, and close the door. (Don't microwave the dough!) Some people turn on the oven, and place the dough on top of the stove, covered with a damp towel. The oven keeps the surface of the stove warm, and the damp towel provides the moisture. If warm and moist isn't activating the yeast (you'll know in less than an hour), you can try adding more yeast.  Open a new package of yeast, and mix teaspoon of yeast with 1 cup (240ml) of warm water (at about 110°F/43°C) and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let this mixture proof for about 10 minutes, until it gets 1/2- to 1-inch of foam. If this fails, you will need to get fresh yeast and try again. While proofing this yeast mixture, gently warm the flat dough to about 100°F (38°C) by placing the bowl in a warm place. Adding more flour as necessary: a ratio of 60% flour to 40% liquid is usually a good ratio for bread doughs so add sufficient flour needed to balance. Knead the active yeast mixture into the dough, then let it rise in a warm, moist place.  This can also be an indicator to see if your yeast is not active. This method makes the yeast very active so when it is added to the dough, it should rise perfectly. If your dough still fails to rise, it will indicate the yeast is not at fault: there is another problem. You can also do this at the beginning of the recipe next time you make a different yeast dough.
Summary: Turn up the temperature. Add more yeast. Blend in the starter.

When you get your year-end statements in January, take a look at the performance of your mutual funds and rearrange your investments by buying and selling shares. This allows you to retain your original balance.  For example, suppose you have $100,000 which you have spread evenly across four different funds. However, at the end of the year, one fund has out-performed the rest so that it is now 30 percent of your portfolio rather than 25 percent. To rebalance your portfolio, you would want to take 5 percent of your shares in that fund and transfer them to the other funds in your portfolio. If your funds are held in a tax-deferred account such as a 401k, transferring assets between funds typically is your best option. However, with taxable accounts it's generally better to simply add new contributions to the lower-performing funds to rebalance. This way you can avoid paying taxes on the assets you sell and transfer. Performance weighting is a rebalancing strategy that involves selling shares from a high-performing fund and buying shares in your lowest-performing fund. While it seems counterintuitive, it follows the principal that funds tend to bounce back.  You can think of this as adhering to the general stock investment strategy of buying low and selling high. You typically can buy more shares in a lower-performing fund, so you'll realize a greater return when it bounces back. Rebalancing your portfolio in this way will put you further ahead in the long-term than other strategies. When investing in mutual funds, discipline and self-control are important for healthy long-term returns. If you are impatient and trade frequently, chasing high-performance funds and large gains, you end up costing yourself a lot of money.  Ultimately, anyone can be a successful investor, and mutual funds are a great investment vehicle for beginning investors. However, you must have a plan to invest and the discipline to stick to that plan. Avoid making decisions based on emotions or out of desperation. If you are questioning your motives for making an investment decision, talk to an advisor who can be objective. Typically, mutual funds will bounce back from a downturn, so it's not necessarily a good strategy to dump a mutual fund just because it performs poorly in the short-term. However, If a fund has taken an overall downward trend for awhile, it may be time to let it go.  You also should watch out for funds that change managers, especially if this happens suddenly. Different managers may have different strategies that could significantly affect performance. Be on the lookout for changes that mean the fund at present has changed character so much that it's no longer the same fund in which you originally invested. Replace it with a fund that more closely matches your original goal for that fund within your portfolio.
