INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take a look around the classroom and figure out who you'd like to be in your group. Before class begins or just after it ends, ask people around you if they'd be interested in meeting up. Pay attention to your classmates' level of effort in the classroom to determine if they'd be a good member of the group. Too often, students join study groups with the hope that they can coast while the rest of the group does the work. If they are not pulling their weight in the classroom, they probably won't do their share in your group. Many middle school, high school, and college courses use online learning management systems such as BlackBoard or Canvas. Through these sites, students usually have access to a messenger system or a list of email addresses of other students. If you are unsure how to find them, look for a “Help” or “Tutorial” feature on the course page, or reach out to your school's I.T. department. Only email once or twice about starting the group. It's best not to alienate and annoy your classmates with several emails. If they haven't responded after two requests, they are probably not interested. Ask the teacher to make an announcement at the beginning of class and also to post about it on your class's online message board, if available. A request from the teacher gives legitimacy to your request and you may have more luck recruiting group members this way. You can also ask the teacher if you can make the announcement yourself. This way, students know exactly who to see if they are interested in joining your group. If you have a very large class, such as college freshman survey, it may be effective to hang a flyer just outside the classroom door. For best result, keep the flyer simple and informative. Just state that you are forming a study group, state which class, and give contact information. Any more than that and people will likely not read it.  Be sure to know your school's rules for posting flyers. Many colleges and universities only allow flyers to be posted on dedicated boards. Check with the teacher or the department secretary to find out where posting is allowed. If you are in middle school or high school, ask the teacher if you can hang a flyer on the corner of the board so it is out the way, but still visible to all the students. Most schools have announcements every morning that tell the students about clubs, sporting events, or other school-related activities. Ask your teacher or someone in the school's office how to get your study group announced over the loudspeaker. Be prepared by having the announcement already written up. Keep it short, enthusiastic, and simple. Just tell them you are creating a study group, what class it is for, and how to contact you or find you.

SUMMARY: Ask your classmates if they are interested in forming a group. Email the class if you have access to everyone's addresses. Request that the teacher make an announcement about your group. Hang a flyer outside the classroom announcing the group. Announce your study group on your school's morning announcements.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A good amount to measure out is two teaspoons of each product. Even separately, these two products are good at removing hair dye stains. Together, they’re almost a sure solution. To avoid irritating the skin, choose a mild detergent that doesn't have a lot of added fragrances or dyes. This is an optional step; on its own, lemon juice won’t remove hair dye stains, but it can boost the effect of the other two products being used in this case. A dry washcloth won’t pick up as much of the mixture, and you’ll have a harder time getting the stain off your skin. You can also use cotton balls or your fingers, but a washcloth will do a better job of rubbing it into the stain. Rub gently at the stain, making sure not the irritate the skin or rub yourself raw. Depending on how much dye you have on your skin, this might take some time, so be patient. Re-wet the washcloth and re-apply the baking soda and dishwashing detergent mixture to it as necessary. Use a face cleaning product to make sure your face is clear of all products that don’t belong there. If the stain isn’t completely removed at this point, repeat the process as many times as is necessary. Baking soda can really dry your skin out, so you want to give it a moisture boost after you get the stain out.

SUMMARY: Mix equal parts baking soda and dishwashing liquid in a bowl and mix it into an evenly mixed, loose paste. Add a squeeze of lemon if you have it on hand. Dampen a washcloth with water, then dip it into the mixture you’ve created. Apply the mixture to the stained skin with the washcloth. Wash your face with warm water when the stain has been lifted from your skin. Apply a moisturizing cream to your face.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: These factors will be based on the type of fish that you want to catch. Short rods provide power for fish that give more fight while longer rods cast further. The power of a rod is how much weight in can lift, from light to extra heavy.  Rods can also be chosen based on the weight of the lure or the pound-test line that they are designed to be paired with.  Choose a graphite rod if you want a stiff yet sensitive experience and a fiberglass rod for a tough and powerful one.  Reels are classified as high or low speed  where the latter is used when needing more power to fight large fish. Some reels allow you to push a button to switch between high and low speed. Spinning rod and reels work well with top-water poppers and high-speed plugs. Use your dominant hand to hold the rod as you use your other hand to crank the handle.  Make sure you change the handle of your rod depending on which is your dominant hand. Spool the line by laying the rod on the floor and ensure that the line is going onto the reel at the same direction that the line is leaving the spool. Pinch the line and crank the reel handle a dozen times. With a slack line, drop the tip of the rod to check if the line starts to twist and spin. If it does, you have spooled the line in the wrong direction. Flip the spool over and continue in the right direction as you fill the reel. These rods work best when bottom fishing, jigging, long casting, or when using big baits. Use an open-face reel for casing or jigging to let out and retrieve the line quickly. Use a closed face reel when using lighter lures and baits. Make sure to use your thumb to control the speed of the spool and keep it slow. Baitcasting rods easily get tangled because the spool turns faster than the line as it leaves the rod. If the tangle isn’t too bad you may be able to untangle it by pulling more line off the reel. However, most baitcasting reel have either a centrifugal, magnetic, or electronic cast control to keep your line from getting tangled. Saltwater trolling rods carry a lot of line and their large bodies allow them to take extreme pressure for fighting large fish. These rods are shorter and stronger than casting rods. They may also come with a notched butt for a fighting belt or chair. Rods that are longer with a short butt are meant for use with a fighting belt or chair. Pair the rod with an appropriate line-test where a 20 pound rod and line combo works for sailfish, dolphin and marlin. Use 130 pound rod and line combo for billfish and bluefin tuna. These rods work best for either hovering over a target or to retrieve your line at high speeds. Use specialized tackle to work your lure at the correct speed, either very quickly or slowly depending on the fish. Use vertical jigging  with high-speed rods and metal lures for fast retrieval. In contrast, use rubber jigs to hover over the target or for slow, deliberate retrieval.

SUMMARY:
Consider the length, power and action of your rod. Utilize a spinning rod and reel when casting lighter lures and baits. Employ baitcasting rods and reels. Work a saltwater trolling rod for larger fish. Use saltwater jigging rods and reels.
