In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: An act is a mini-play unto itself, made up of several scenes. The average play involves 3-5 Acts. Generally, a scene will have a given set of characters. If a new character is introduced, or if the character's move elsewhere, that indicates that you're moving on to another scene.  An act is hard to distinguish. The podiatrist story, for instance, might end its first act with the arrival of the parents and the introduction of the main conflict. The second act might involve the development of that conflict, including scenes in which the parents argue with the podiatrist daughter, Easter dinner is cooked and Church is attended. In Act three, the daughter might reconcile with the father, giving his troubled foot a once-over. The end. The more experienced you become at writing plays, you'll be able to think in terms of acts and scenes as you write your initial draft. Don't worry about it in the early-going, though. The formatting is much less important than getting the drama right. Each scene should start with stage directions, in which you describe briefly the physical components of the stage. Depending on your story, this might be very elaborate or fairly simple. This is your opportunity to influence the way the play will eventually look. If it's important to have a gun on the wall in Act One, put it in there. Also include character directions throughout the dialog. The actors will take their own liberties with the dialog and move about as they and the director sees fit, but it helps to have any particularly important (as you see it) physical motions included throughout the dialog. A kiss, for instance, is probably important to direct, but don't overdo it. You don't need to describe every minute physical movement of a character, because the actors will ignore such directions anyway. In a play, each character's dialog is marked with their name in all capital letters, tabbed in at least 4". Some playwrights will center the dialog, but it's up to you. You don't need to use quotation marks or other distinguishing features, just separate the language by including the character's name every time they speak. This includes any prologue you'd like to include to the play, a list of characters and a short description of them, any notes you'd like to include about the set up of the stage or other directing guidelines, and possibly a brief summary or outline of the play if you're considering submitting the play to theatre contests.
Summary: Break the plot into scenes and acts. Include stage directions. Tag each character's dialog. Include front-matter.

Alternate your purple shampoo use with non-tinted shampoos to keep your tint light and even. If you have warmer naturally blonde hair, you may even use the shampoo only when you notice yellowing. Pay attention to your hair and use your judgment when establishing a routine. If you're not noticing any changes after a month, you can always up your routine to 2-3 times a week. Although purple shampoo will not dye your hair, you may notice some lilac tints after you wash if it's too strong. To prevent this, mix your purple shampoo with water in a 2:1 ratio and put it in a spray bottle.  If you need to dilute the mixture further, add more water. This option is ideal for individuals with already-warm hair who are just touching up their color. In lieu of using the shampoo in the bath or shower, massage the shampoo into your hair before you get it wet. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse it out with cold water. Applying the shampoo dry can leave your hair glossier and rid it of a persistent brassy hue. Try this method if you have severely brassy hair and have seen limited results from washing with purple shampoo. Purple shampoo can dry out your hair over time. To prevent brittle, unhealthy hair, deep condition your hair several times a month after using purple shampoo, or whenever your hair starts to feel dry. If your hair is frizzy or flyaway, often has split ends, exhibits a dull color, or is prone to breakage, you may have dry hair.

One-sentence summary -- Use purple shampoo once a week or whenever you notice brassiness. Dilute your purple shampoo if it's too strong for your hair. Apply purple shampoo to dry hair for a glossy finish. Deep condition a few times a month.

Q: Powders are often sold to eliminate unwanted scents on the carpet. However, such powders leave residue in the carpet which can damage it over time. Stick to baking soda if you want to remove an unwanted smell. If there is a particularly bad smell that does not come out with baking soda, use powder very sparingly. When removing a stain, stick to blotting motions. Never rub a stain. This will not remove the stain. It will only succeed in rubbing the stain into the carpet, making it worse. When it comes to carpet cleaning, you get what you pay for. Discount cleaners often do a quick and sloppy job. They  may leave soap and debris in your carpet, causing the damage in the long run. It's worth paying a little more for a higher quality carpet cleaning company. Remember, while carpet cleaning is expensive, you only need to have it done twice a year. When using cleaners to remove stains, find a small portion your carpet that's out of sight. Apply a small amount of cleaner here. Make sure the cleaner does not damage your carpet before using it on other areas of your home.
A: Avoid carpet powders. Do not rub stains. Stay away from discount carpet cleaners. Test cleaners on a small portion of your carpet before use.

Problem: Article: This is especially important during pregnancy. You’re more susceptible to plaque during pregnancy because your body doesn’t fight it off as well; your immunity drops, and your hormonal changes can affect your entire barrier of tooth protection. If you had good dental hygiene before pregnancy, simply maintain it. If you weren’t brushing as often as you should, try getting to brushing twice daily during pregnancy.  If you find that your toothbrush is irritating your gums, try using a soft bristle toothbrush.  If you're experiencing the gag reflex due to morning sickness, get a smaller toothbrush (a kid's toothbrush is great for this). As you’re more susceptible to gum disease and inflammation during pregnancy don’t skimp on the flossing. Flossing is important to protect against periodontal disease and to remove plaque. If you are sensitive to strong tastes, use a flavorless floss. Not only will this promote the health of your baby, but it will also kelp you maintain healthy teeth during pregnancy. Sugary foods lead to the build up of plaque which can cause cavities and hurt your gum health. With the sensitivity of gums during pregnancy, this is particularly important. Calcium is necessary for healthy teeth and a healthy pregnancy. The daily amount of calcium you need while pregnant and breastfeeding is 1200mg. You can get this through food sources, including dairy, broccoli, spinach, and beans. This is the reason why it’s important to take good care of your teeth and gums when you are pregnant. These hormonal changes increase the risk of developing gum disease because it makes gums more sensitive, which makes it easier for gingivitis to develop, and this can affect the health of the unborn baby. You may have "pregnancy gingivitis," because you are more susceptible to gum disease during pregnancy. If you do have bleeding gums, you may need to see a dentist for treatment. You may experience a slight pain or burning in your gums, and your teeth may feel loose as a secondary effect of the increased inflammation.
Summary:
Brush twice daily during pregnancy. Floss at least once a day during pregnancy. Avoid sugary foods to keep your teeth and baby healthy. Get enough calcium. Understand how hormonal changes impact your teeth and gums. Check for bleeding gums.
