INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hold your hand out flat with your fingers together. Wrap the yarn around your fingers about 120 times. Be sure to wrap loosely so has not to cut off blood circulation. Choose plain, medium or worsted-weight yarn for this. Start by cutting a piece of your orange yarn that is around 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) long. Thread it below the yarn bundle, between your middle and ring finger. Try to keep the short piece of yarn in position. Bring the two ends of the short piece of yarn together, and tie them into a tight knot. Flip the bundle over, and wrap the yarn to the back. Tie the yarn into a tight, double knot. Even though this is just like making a pompom, do not cut the yarn bundle apart. Cut a green or brown pipe cleaner down to 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) and place it on top of your knotted yarn. Tie the ends of the yarn over the pipe cleaner in another double knot. Fold the pipe cleaner in half, then twist the ends together to make a thick stem. If you'd like, you can curl the end of the stem over your finger, pen, or pencil. To great vines: wrap a green pipe cleaner around a skewer or pencil, pull it off, then gently pull it apart to create a spring. Wrap it around the base of the stem. Once again, do not cut the loops of yarn apart. Instead, manipulate them with your fingers so that they are evenly spread around the stem, creating a squashed, pumpkin-like shape. At this point, you can cut the loose ends of the short piece of yarn off.  Alternatively, you can tie them to a long piece of twine to make a garland.

SUMMARY: Wrap some orange yarn around your hand about 120 times. Cut a piece of orange yarn, and wrap it around the middle of your yarn bundle. Pull the yarn bundle off your hand. Tie the short piece of yarn around the yarn bundle tightly. Tie a 2-inch (5.08-centier) piece of green or brown pipe cleaner to the center of your pumpkin. Twist the pipe cleaner together to make the stem. Fluff up your pumpkin and neaten it up.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can't worry much about the traffic behind you because if you are constantly looking back, you won't see what's ahead. Accidents happen most often when bicyclists cross paths with drivers at intersections. If you keep your attention ahead of you, you're more likely to prevent an accident. If you're distracted, you may not notice a car coming in your path. Turn off the music and put your phone away while you're on your bike. That way, you can focus your whole attention on the drive.  Just like in a car, don't try to text while cycling. It could end badly! Similarly, don't talk on the phone, as that is a major distraction, even if you have earbuds in. Just like when you're in a car, pedestrians still have the right-of-way. That's true whether you're riding in a bike lane, on the street, or on the sidewalk. If you see a pedestrian trying to cross, let them go first to avoid causing issues with traffic flow. Similarly, if you're turning right, you have to let pedestrians go by on the crosswalk before turning. This is particularly important if you're riding near parked cars. A door could open at any point, so be vigilant. If possible, put space between your bike and parked cars to keep you from running into one.  Aim for about 3 feet (0.91 m) of space between you and parked cars. Avoid weaving back and forth from the curb through parked cars, as this creates problems with the traffic behind you. If you hit a pothole, it could throw you into the path of a car, so always be looking ahead at the road. Other hazards can include things like toys, debris, and grates in the road. Train tracks can also be hazardous for bikes.

SUMMARY: Keep your eyes ahead of you. Avoid distractions while on your bike. Give way to pedestrians. Watch ahead for car doors. Be on the lookout for road hazards at all times.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In some cases, such as a contract for the private sale of personal items, the other party to the contract should have a copy. However, if the contract is an employment or sales contract with a large company, determining who exactly has the contract can be more difficult. Here are some guidelines to help you determine who has the contract.   If the other party to the contract is an individual, he or she should have the original agreement with both of your signatures. If a company or organization is the other party to the contract, you will need to find the appropriate person within the organization who is likely to have a copy of the contract. The company’s Human Resource (“HR”) or Legal Department would be a logical place to start. If there is no HR or Legal department, or you cannot locate a phone number for the individual department, simply call the company’s general number. Whomever answers the phone should be able to tell you which department retains copies of executed company contracts, and direct your call accordingly. Start by looking through your personal paperwork to see if you have records showing contact information for the person or business with whom you signed the contract. Next, look in the telephone book or online for specific contact information, such as a mailing address, phone number, or email address. Social media sites are another potential source of contact information. If you have the correct contact information, it will be easier to contact the person or business with whom you signed the contract. The type of request will depend on to whom it is directed. For example, if you personally know the party who has the contract, a phone call may be the most appropriate type of request. A request directed to a large company may call for a formal letter. What follows should help you decide what type of request is most appropriate.  Telephone. For many contract requests, directly calling the person who has the contract is best. If you know the person who has the contract and you have a phone number for him or her, a telephone request may be the most appropriate. E-mail. If you are unable to reach the person holding the contract by telephone, or you do not have a direct number to him or her, you may want to send a formal email requesting a copy of the contract. Ask that a signed copy be mailed or e-mailed to you and provide your mailing address or e-mail address. Letter. If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), a government agency such as the military, or a large company has the contract, you may wish to write a formal letter requesting a copy of it. Do not send a letter to a government agency by certified mail, as the agency generally will not sign for it. You may wish to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope in order to ensure that a copy is mailed to you. In person. If e-mail, telephone, and/or written requests are unsuccessful, you may wish to visit the person’s office or place of business personally in order to request a copy of the contract. If the person accepts appointments, call and make an appointment. Otherwise, visit him or her at their office or place of business and be prepared to wait until he or she is free to see you. Online. Depending on the type of contract, you may be able to request a copy online by filling out a simple request form. For example, the National Archives and Records Administration keeps copies of all government contracts. This includes any military enlistment contracts. You can visit the National Archives and Records Administration at [1] and fill out such a request. Likewise, if you need a copy of a U-Haul rental agreement, you can access U-Haul’s website at [2] and request a copy through their online form.

SUMMARY:
Figure out who has the contract. Obtain contact information for the appropriate party. Decide what type of request is most appropriate.
