Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open and check the valve assemblies before installation. Tape the new valves. Install the new valve. Install the sleeve. Install the flange. Install the retaining screw cover on each handle. Use bathtub caulk to seal any gaps where hardware meets the shower wall. Turn water supply back on and check for leaks.

Answer: Take all of the new valve assemblies and open them fully before installing them. Do this by turning the stems counterclockwise. Each valve needs to be opened when it's installed to allow it to seat fully on the pipe components. Be sure to identify the diverter valve and set it aside to install it last. The process of installing a new faucet will be essential the reverse process of your disassembly. If you purchased an identical or similar kit to the version you removed, it should be quite easy. Take the roll of plumber’s tape and peel the end back a couple of inches. With the new valve in one hand, hold the threaded base pointing to your other hand. Place the loose end of the plumber’s tape over the threads and secure it with your thumb, then wrap tightly around the threads clockwise for three complete wraps. Pull tightly against the threads until the tape breaks. Roll the loose end over the taped threads. Done correctly, the tape will contour to the threads. Repeat this process for all the new valve components. Taping the valves allows a tighter seal to be creating, ensuring a solid faucet that won't leak. Place the new valve into the pipe and turn clockwise with your fingers about three or four complete turns. There should be some resistance after that because of the plumber’s tape.  If the valve does not seat in the threaded pipe within the first turn or two, start again. Do not force an improperly seated valve. It will strip the threads and cause a serious leak. Repeat this step for all valves. Completely tighten the valves with adjustable pliers or an adjustable wrench. Do not over-tighten or you risk damaging the valve or the water pipes Take the threaded white nylon sleeve, slip it over each valve stem, and twist it into threaded interior of the valve base. Do not use pliers or a pipe wrench, as this will damage the threads. Wrap a cloth rag around the sleeve and grip tightly with your hand and twist it into place. Take the chrome flange and twist it onto the nylon sleeve until the base of the flange is snug against the shower wall. Place the new faucet handle over the notched tip of the valve stem. Hold the handle firmly and insert and tighten the retaining screw. Do not over tighten to avoid stripping the threads. Turn the handle clockwise to close the valve and place the handle in the shut-off position. Repeat these steps for each of the valves. Insert the covers so “H” is on the left side, “C” is on the right side, and the arrow on the diverter cap is pointing down. Caulk the fixtures where they touch the walls using a silicon caulk, and allow to dry. In general, you shouldn't use a freshly caulked shower for at least 24 hours. Turn on your water supply and check that everything works properly. Do not be surprised by some initial sputtering of the water when you test your shower faucets. The water pressure is simply forcing air out of the line. The sputtering should stop within a few seconds.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine a focus for the club. Write a mission statement. Make long-term goals for the club.

Answer: Car clubs can either focus on one car brand or model, or they can be all-inclusive for anyone who is passionate about cars. It is good to decide what you want the focus to be so that you and the people who join can get the most out of the club.  Whether you focus on one type of car or keep it open will have some bearing on the goal and mission of the club. A club focused on one car might mean your members have more in common, but an open group will most likely draw more people to want to join. You might start the club with one intention in mind, but as the club progresses you may decide that you want to shift the focus in a new direction. This is perfectly fine if it serves your members well. Your club will only grow and be successful if you have an idea of what the purpose is. It is good to write down something specific which briefly outlines what your club is about.  For example, you might say, “Our club will encourage members to perform preventive maintenance, help members build friendships, and promote responsible driving.” You may want to make new members officially accept the mission statement in some way, perhaps by signing a membership agreement. You can write up a draft of this mission statement on your own, but you can also ask others for input as new people join the club. Goals could range from reaching a certain number of members to growing into a non-profit or business. Set goals that are specific and that you can easily tell once they have been accomplished. You might even have individual members set personal goals for what they hope to get out of the club. Other examples of goals are host five car-themed charity events in the next year, have all members gain car maintenance or detailing certifications, and make a cross country road trip during the summer.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stick your chin out. Try not to blink. Highlight your eyes and cheeks. Smile!

Answer: No one looks good with a double chin. To make it less likely you will have a double chin in photos, stretch your neck out, and push your face forward slightly in the photo.  To do this, stick your chin and then tilt your head forward. This should reduce the chances you end up with a double chin in photos, as it creates a slimming effect.  Imagine that there is a string pulling your nose up to create a more refined jaw line. We've all been there. The second the camera clicks, you blink, ruining the photo! There is a strategy you can use to reduce the chances this will occur.  Asking the photographer to count to three before he or she takes the photograph will help you time this right.  Close your eyes fully right before the photo is taken. Open them slowly, just before the camera clicks. It's a good idea to make your eyes the focal point of any photo. The more you highlight the eyes, the better many people will consider the photo. Defining your cheeks can make a big difference too.  If you are female, use mascara on your eye lashes, and curl them, or apply false eyelashes. This will open up your eyes and dramatize them. Filling in your eyebrows with a slightly darker brow pencil will also emphasize your eyes. Remember that people's features often look lighter in pictures than they do in real life. Apply your makeup in natural light, though, to make sure it looks good and also use primer.  To highlight the cheekbones, apply blush and bronzer. Put the blush on the apple of your cheek, and put the bronzer around the outside of your face as well as on your cheekbones. People are attracted to radiant smiles. It makes them feel better, and so they are more likely to respond positively to your photograph.  To make your smile more natural, take a deep breath, and exhale right before the photo. Keep your jaw open, and make sure not to clench it so you look more relaxed.  You can also put your tongue behind your teeth when you smile to increase the natural look.Get someone to tell you a joke, and then have the photographer snap your reaction.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Revise your thesis statement. Re-write your thesis statement. Use specific examples. Summarize your main points. Leave a lasting impression.

Answer:
One of the most important components of an effective conclusion is a well-written thesis statement. Before you can draft your final paragraph, you need to make sure that your argument is coherent and polished. Spend some time editing and polishing your thesis statement.  Make sure that your thesis is not vague. For example, don't just say, "This is a paper about the death penalty." Instead, try being clear and specific. You might write, "The death penalty costs America millions of dollars per year, and as such, is one of the major expenditures in our penal system. This paper will examine why the justice system in the United States needs significant reforms." This is also the time to make sure that your essay is organized the way you want and that you've supported your thesis with strong evidence and analysis. You can't write a successful conclusion until you've organized your essay in a way that makes sense. Your conclusion should re-state your main points. A major part of a good conclusion is a reiteration of your argument. Take care to clearly state your argument again in the conclusion.  Do not just copy and paste your thesis statement. Put it in different words. For example, maybe your thesis statement is, "The Cold War significantly changed American foreign policy. It caused many policymakers to grow accustomed to having a defined enemy. This made for a somewhat confused foreign policy in the 1990s, after the fall of the Soviet Union." You will want to rephrase it in the conclusion. Try saying, "As demonstrated by looking at the foreign policy actions of President Bush and Clinton, the post-Cold War foreign policy suffered from a lack of coherent action. Your conclusion should remind your reader what they have learned. Take care to remind them why your argument is strong. By using specific examples, you will be strengthening the argument you've worked hard to lay out. You might consider providing a useful anecdote in your conclusion. For example, if you are writing about the plight of the polar bears, offer a story about the polar bear at the San Diego Zoo. Your paper should be organized in a way that clearly explains the main components of your argument. For example, maybe your paper on the Civil War addresses the causes and the impact on the economy and politics. Make sure that your conclusion reminds your readers of each part of your paper.  Try to synthesize. This means taking the analysis further than just simply summarizing your points. Your conclusion is a great place to not only summarize, but to draw connections. Tell your reader how your different points connect. For example, you can point out that the Civil War affected both the economy and politics, and that the two were intertwined. Your conclusion is your final chance to make a powerful impression on your reader. Make sure to include all of the necessary components in your conclusion. You will want to review it carefully after writing a draft.  Make sure that you have clearly stated your argument. Your reader should not be confused about your point. Review your main points. Have you included all of them in your conclusion? Does your conclusion explain why your topic is significant? Remember, it is your last chance to convince your reader that your research is important. Make the importance clear. You can state, "This research is significant because it illustrates connections between 19th century literature and the feminists of today."
