Problem: Article: Take baking soda and sprinkle it over your furniture and floors that smell like tobacco. Try to cover each of the surfaces with a thin coating of baking soda. You can pour the baking soda through a colander if you are having a difficult time spreading it around. The baking soda will absorb some of the unpleasant tobacco odors from upholstered furniture and carpet as you let it sit. You can use a rag or towel to help push the baking soda into your furniture or carpet. Run a vacuum and try to suck up all of the baking soda. Use the vacuum's attachments for hard to reach places and to vacuum down upholstery. Once you've vacuumed up all the baking soda, make sure to empty the vacuum's bag outdoors. Leave the room or house for an hour or two and come back. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine if the tobacco smell is gone once you've been around it for a long time. If the room still smells strongly of tobacco, you can repeat these steps until all of the odors are gone.
Summary: Sprinkle baking soda over furniture and the floors. Let the baking soda sit for 60-90 minutes. Vacuum up the baking soda. Leave and come back to assess the smell.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even in this case, make them as visual as possible: proper nouns and abstract ideas should be turned into physical objects. Once you know where the presentation will take place, visit the room in advance and try to notice as many details as possible.  If it's a room you already know well, you can just revisit it mentally. However, going there in person will give you an opportunity to focus on extra details you'd never noticed before. However, make sure you associate each key point to items that won't be removed on the day of the presentation.  If there's a used coffee cup on a desk, don't bother taking note of it. It will certainly be trashed before your presentation day. It's better to go clockwise as you link your key points to each item. This will make it quicker for you to find the next cue as you present. If you have a chance, it's always better to practice your presentations a couple of times in the actual room. If you can't do it, just memorize the room on your first visit and then picture it when you're practicing. Even if you have full access to the room, practicing in a different location is always a good exercise. You never know what might happen on the day of the presentation: having a mental picture of it is safe if there are any last-minute changes.  For example, if the room is moved, you can use your mental picture of the previous room as a Roman Room. Picture it in your mind as you present and you'll find all your items there, instead of in the room where you've been moved. As you deliver your presentation, look for the cues in the room that you've linked with your key points.  Memorizing a presentation will impress your audience and make your performance more engaging. Remember it's always safer to still have some notes with you, in case your memory fails you.

SUMMARY: Make a list of key points you want to memorize for your presentation. Get to know the room. Link your key points to existing items. Rehearse on location. Rehearse elsewhere. Look for your cues on presentation day.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can use either a graphite pencil, piece of chalk, or pastel stick. Flip your paper over so the front is on a table. Take your medium of choice, and shade over the back of your paper. Be sure to thoroughly cover your letters.  After it’s covered, you can dump away any excess pigment in your trash can or onto another piece of paper. Graphite pencils tend to work best. If you don't have a graphite pencil handy, you can also use a piece of chalk. Alternatively, pastel sticks also work to make your transfer. All 3 have about the same chance of leaving residue behind. Be sure you place your paper exactly where you want to paint your quote. Place 1 piece of tape on the top left corner, and 1 on the top right. If you’d like, you can stick additional pieces of tape on the bottom 2 corners. You can easily rip painter’s tape with your fingers. Use scissors if you need assistance! Start with your letters on the left side, and trace over all of the edges. As you trace, the pigment on the back of the paper will rub onto your wall, creating your outline. Press down on your pen with moderate pressure as you write. Make sure you trace over the inner and outer edges! Peel off your tape, and take down your paper from the wall. Your letters will be transferred to the wall, so you can easily fill them in with your paint. Visit a local craft store in person or online and browse stencil inventories. Many offer various quotes and phrases. Purchase 1 you like, and tape it to your wall. Then, use a pencil and trace the letters of the stencil onto your wall. Plastic stencils are a helpful way to paint quotes if you don’t own a printer yourself.
Summary: Shade the back of your print-out. Hang your paper to your wall with 2-4 pieces of painter’s tape. Draw over your letters using a ballpoint pen. Remove the paper and reveal your outlines. Purchase a stencil with a quote from a craft store for an easier solution.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put your body between passes that you receive and any defenders around you. Turn your hip or you back to the defense and try as much as you can to shield the ball from them. Messi will often already have his eyes up and looking over his shoulder at an opponent as soon as he traps the ball. When you trap a pass, try to do it by controlling it with the foot farthest away from the opponent. Though Messi often gets close enough to touch the defense, he's always got the ball closer to him and his center of gravity than his opponents. To start off on the right foot (ha!), accept the pass and trap it to create space in which to work. Keeping your eyes up, decide which direction is more likely to allow you enough space to maneuver around the defender. His hips won't lie: Look closely at the defender's hips to see which direction they're turned and what he seems to be anticipating you'll do. If you're right-footed, most defenders will instinctively guess that you'll go right, which might be your natural tendency anyway. Use that misconception to your advantage. Control the ball with the foot that matches the direction you're eventually going to go and take a step with the other foot. Messi's signature move happens so quick it's easy to miss, which is why it's so effective against defenders. Basically, to juke out a defender, Messi takes one stutter-step in the fake direction, feints, and then dribbles in the opposite with the outside of his foot. Messi brings the defender in and forces him to reveal his hand and make a mistake before blowing past them finding space. Messi isn't a flashy dribbler like Ronaldhino or a master of the step-over like Cristiano Ronaldo, he just uses simple changes of direction and ball control to do inhuman looking things. Drop it into high gear when you decide to switch direction. Blow past your opponent by flicking the ball in the direction you want to go and moving into your quick-dribble that you've been practicing so aggressively. You don't have to go super-fast to find space, you just need to make the smart dribble and catch the defender flat-footed and out of position. He won't be able to touch you.
Summary:
Shield the ball with your body. Accept passes with the foot farthest from your opponent. Locate the space. Bring the defense in by stepping in the opposite direction you want to go. Approach the defender slowly. Explode.
