Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spread out the pieces. Apply lubricant to inner parts of pieces. Allow the pieces to dry.

Answer: You want to be able to coat all of the cubies from your Rubik’s cube, so it helps to spread them out. That way, all of the inner parts of the pieces will be exposed. However, make sure to lay the pieces on paper towel, a towel, or an old rag in order to protect your work surface in case any of the lubricant splatters or drips. There are a variety of lubricants that can help make it easier to turn your cube. Opt for a silicone-based spray or gel -- some are designed specifically for use on Rubik’s cube, so they’re an ideal option. Apply the lubricant to the back side of the pieces where they connect to center piece according to the product instructions. Don’t forget to apply lubricant to all sides of the center piece too.   You can purchase generic silicone-based lubricant spray at your local hardware or home improvement store. If you don’t have an silicone lubricant on hand, petroleum jelly can also work. After you’ve applied the lubricant, set the pieces down on the colored sticker side. It’s important to allow the cubies to dry for at least 10 minutes to ensure that the lubricant doesn’t make the Rubik’s cube too easy to turn. Once they’re dry, reassemble the cube, and see how much more quickly you can solve it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consult your doctor. Rest your voice. Drink water. Get plenty of sleep.

Answer: Make sure to consult your laryngitis first before using at-home remedies to heal your vocal cords. Your laryngologist will be able to diagnose the problem and prescribe a treatment for your specific case.  For mild cases, your doctor may prescribe voice rest. For moderate to severe cases, your doctor may prescribe cough depressants or antibiotics in addition to voice rest. For severe cases, your doctor may prescribe surgery to fix the issue, especially if you have nodules on your vocal cords. Depending on the severity of the damage, you should rest your voice for one to five days. To rest your voice you must avoid any kind of speaking, as well as activities that may strain your vocal cords like strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Write things down if you need to communicate to others.  If you must talk, then take a 10-minute break for every 20 minutes of talking. Do not substitute whispering for talking. Whispering actually places more strain on your vocal cords than regular talking.  Activities you can do while resting your voice are reading, breathing exercises, sleeping, and watching movies or TV. Drinking water will help keep your vocal cords lubricated, which can help promote healing. Keep a water bottle with you so you can refresh your throat whenever it feels dry. At the same time, you should try to avoid liquids that can prevent a speedy recovery such as alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks. Sleep also enables your vocal cords to rest and heal. Therefore, make sure you are getting at least seven hours of sleep each night while they are healing. If you are taking a day or two off from work or school to rest your vocal cords, try not to go to bed too late.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase an epoxy applicator kit. Mix the resin and hardener. Apply the epoxy. Position the pieces as needed. Leave the epoxy to harden overnight.

Answer: Epoxies are most commonly sold as a two-part system, which consist of a couple separate components: a resin and a hardener. These components have to be combined in order to be effective.  Though not as common, one-part epoxies are also available, and can be applied straight out of the package. You can find basic epoxy kits at hardware stores, art supply shops and pharmacies, and in the home improvement aisle of most supercenters. Squeeze a small glob of each component onto a smooth, disposable surface, like a paper plate. Swirl the two substances together using a toothpick, coffee stirrer or similar utensil. Once combined, they’ll form one super-strong adhesive. Pull on a pair of gloves before you get to work. Spread a thin layer of adhesive onto the surfaces you need to glue. You can do this with the same toothpick or coffee stirrer you used to mix it, though you may have better results using something like a cotton swab that offers you more control over where it ends up.  Brush an even coating over the entire surface, being careful not to leave any large gaps uncovered. For a superior hold, apply a small amount of epoxy to both pieces rather than globbing it all onto one. Take your time configuring your work surfaces. Epoxy dries fairly slowly compared to other types of adhesives, so you won’t need to rush to get everything in place. Clamping the pieces together or resting a heavy object on top can help the epoxy form a more solid bond. Find an out of the way place to let the adhesive set up. It should dry to the touch within about 5 minutes, but it may take as long as 20 hours for it to cure completely. Try not to touch either piece too much in the meantime, if you can help it.  Epoxies solidify as they dry, which makes for a longer-lasting connection, even in wet conditions.  The drying time of a particular brand of epoxy will usually be listed on the packaging.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your partner. Remain calm. Evaluate your suspicions.

Answer:
If you think your partner is having an emotional affair, ask them. See if they get defensive, evade, or get upset. If you don't feel comfortable outright asking, you may choose to instead ask questions about the other person. Try not to accuse your partner of anything. Instead, say, "I feel you are spending a lot of time with this person. This hurts me because you are my partner, and I feel like we are not as close as we used to be." During this conversation, you should remain calm. You will not get anywhere if you are both angry. If your partner denies or admits the closeness to this other person, don't yell and get upset. Instead, take a deep breath before responding. If your partner denies everything, then take the opportunity to discuss the problem in your relationship, like how you feel emotional distance or feel neglected. You may want to figure out why you believe your partner is doing this in the first place. Have they had an emotional or physical affair before? Have other people noticed your partner's behavior? Is this based on your own issues? Determining this can help you figure out how to proceed.  Examine your own feelings. Are you jealous by nature? Are you insecure? Have you been cheated on in the past? These things may make you more sensitive and suspicious. Talk to your partner about your feelings. Sharing your insecurities or past can help you build a stronger future. You may also consider talking with a trustworthy friend or family member about your suspicions. Choose someone who you think would give you objective feedback and who your partner would not feel threatened by you confiding in them. Make sure the person is someone who will not tell other people about what you have shared because this may cause your partner to feel betrayed.
