Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put one end of the slinky over your fingers. Move your finger and thumb along the edge of the slinky. Find out where the slinky continues through the tangle. Carefully push the end of the slinky through the tangle. Rotate the slinky at severe bends. Repeat until untangled.

Answer: Locate the least tangled end of the slinky and put four of your fingers through its center. Keep your thumb on the outside of the loop, so you can grip the end of the slinky and hold it in place. Extra-long slinkies might be easier to untangle if you keep the "good" part over your arm, or over a cardboard paper towel tube. Run your first finger and thumb along the slinky, approaching the first tangled area next to the end you're holding. The "good" end of the slinky will collect in a neat stack around your fingers. Slow down as you approach the tangled area and look closely, so you can see exactly where the slinky goes next. Pull the Slinky's tangled area apart if necessary to get a better view. Take the "good" slinky off your hand, and hold it so it stays in a neat stack. Turn the stack at an angle and fit it through a gap in the next tangle, so it joins the next length of slinky where your finger and thumb followed it. Once it's through, put the neat stack back on your fingers. Sometimes, it's easier to hold the stack in place and lift the next loop of the tangle over and around the end of the stack. If you notice a part of the slinky that's bending in completely the wrong direction, or even looks like its about to snap, try rotating the two tangled areas that are crossing each other. Once the area is under less pressure, you can safely pull apart a gap and move the neat end of the slinky through it, as described above. Continue following the slinky and collecting it on your hand. Whenever you see a tangle, use the techniques above to get through it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use dish detergent and warm water. Rinse with warm, clean water.

Answer: Fill a bucket halfway full with warm water and one or two tbsp. (15 to 30ml) of mild dish detergent. Swish it around in your bucket, until suds start to rise. After you've scrubbed the shoes thoroughly, give them a quick rinse with fresh warm water, inside, or from another bucket.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Turn off the power. Unplug the motor and disconnect the wiring. Go to the attic and remove the housing. Install the new fan. Attach the duct. Connect the wiring. Complete the outdoor work. Attach the grille.

Answer: Before you begin, you will need to turn off the power to the fan from the circuit breaker box. Put on a pair of gloves, safety goggles and a respirator and remove the grille covering from the old fan. You may be shocked at the amount of dirt and debris that fall out of it!  Unscrew or unplug the motor blower assembly from the housing unit, then open up the electrical splice unit and carefully pull out the wires. Remove the connectors and untwist the wires to disconnect them. It's a good idea to double check that power to the wires is off before doing this. Loosen the cable clamp to free the electrical cable from the fan housing. In the attic, detach the duct pipe from both the housing unit and the vent cap connector duct.  Pull the electrical cable and wiring free from the housing unit. Use a power drill to remove the screws securing the old fan's brackets to the joists, then lift the old fan from the ceiling. Head back down to your bathroom and remove the new fan from its packaging. If it has the same measurements as your old fan, you will be able to install it immediately.  But if the new fan is bigger than the old one, you will need to enlarge the hole in your ceiling. You can do this by tracing the outline of your new fan onto the ceiling, then  cutting around the outline with a drywall saw. If your new fan is smaller than the old one, you can caulk around the edges of the housing unit to fill in any gaps once the fan is installed. Go to the attic and lower the new fan into the preexisting or newly enlarged hole. Make sure the unit is properly oriented for all electrical and duct work connections. Slide out the extendable mounting brackets and secure them to the joists using your power drill and 1 inch (2.5 cm) drywall screws. You may need a helper to hold the fan in place from below as you do this. Once the fan is in place, connect a 90 degree duct elbow to the fan's exhaust port using sheet metal screws. Then attach a new 4 to 6 inch (10.2 to 15.2 cm) duct pipe to the duct elbow.  It is possible to use the duct pipe from the old fan, but if it is less than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter you will need to install a duct pipe reducer before reattaching the pipe. However be aware that using a smaller, older duct pipe will prevent the fan from working as efficiently. Insert the electrical cable through the new fans connector and secure it with a cable clamp.  Open up the electrical splice box (from either the attic or the bathroom, depending on the model) and pull out the fan wires. Attach the electrical wires to the fan wires by twisting same color wires together (white to white and black or red to black) and attaching a wire connector. Wrap the bare copper wire under the ground clip or screw and tighten to secure. Tuck all of the wires back into the electrical splice box and replace the cover. If you replaced your old duct pipe with a newer, bigger pipe, you will also need to install a larger vent cap on your roof or sidewall.  Take whatever safety precautions are necessary for working at a height. Remove the old vent cap and use a saw to enlarge the opening to the size of the new duct pipe. Pull the end of the duct pipe through the hole until 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) extends beyond the edge of the roof or sidewall. Secure in place with sheet metal screws and seal around the edges with caulk. Secure the new vent cap over the end of the duct pipe. If the vent pipe is on the roof, replace any shingles that may have come loose. Return to the bathroom and install the motor blower assembly by plugging it into the receptacle and screwing to secure. Attach the decorative plastic grille, then turn the power back on to test if your new bathroom fan is working.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait until your toddler is ready. Choose the right fork. Start with foods that are easy to pierce. Help your child use the fork. Encourage eating with the fork. Praise your child’s efforts.

Answer:
In general, it’s best to wait until your son or daughter has developed a strong pincer grasp and can use the spoon relatively well. At that point, you can introduce the fork. Most children are ready by fifteen to eighteen months or so. To begin, select a fork made for young children, with rounded tips and a lighter weight. These are both safer and easier for a toddler to use successfully. Offer larger pieces of food that are fairly easy to pierce and hold with a fork: cubes of cheese work well, as do some kinds of cooked vegetables, meats, and pastas. Avoid foods that are too small, crumbly, or slippery. You don’t want to frustrate your child unnecessarily. In the beginning, you may need to take your child’s hand and demonstrate how to pierce and pick up a piece of food. Once your toddler is two or so, it’s fine to encourage fork-eating, but don’t worry if your child continues to prefer using his or her fingers. You can wait until the preschool years to start pushing harder for better table manners. Again, let your toddler know that you are impressed with his or her new skills.
