Summarize the following:
Remove any stickers or unwanted nails from the wood. If it is dirty, wash the wood with  gentle soap and water. If the wood is very rough, use sandpaper or a hand sander to smooth it. A smoother surface will make it easier to apply the whitewash. If you need to use soap, make sure the wood dries completely before you begin to whitewash. Staining the wood a medium or dark brown, will help the texture and knots of the wood to shine through.  The paint and water technique works best on new lumber or wood with a very smooth surface. Staining the wood can help the final product to appear more weathered and aged, if that is the look you desire. The darker the stain you use, the more visible the wood will be under the whitewash. Let the stain dry completely before you begin to whitewash the wood. Add more water if the paint is still too thick or opaque. Thinning the paint with water will allow the wood grain to show through after you apply the white paint. A latex (water-based) paint is usually the easiest type of paint to use for whitewashing; you can also buy white stains at your local paint or hardware store. However, these may still need to be diluted with water to allow the wood grain to show.  The ratio of paint to water can be changed depending on how transparent you want the whitewash to be. If you want a lot of the wood to show through, add 2 parts of water to 1 part of paint. You might want to start with a 1:1 ratio, and then add more water if the paint is not as transparent as you desire. Use long, even strokes to spread the whitewash on the wood. Because the whitewash has been diluted with water, it will dry much quicker than normal paint. If you have a large piece of wood or furniture, you should work on small sections rather than attempting to cover the entire area at one time. Apply the whitewash in the direction of the wood grain. This will help the wood grain to show through. Allow the paint to sit for 3-4 minutes, and then wipe the excess paint off with the paper towel or rag. You should wipe in the direction of the grain. Use long, fluid, and even wiping motions to remove the paint.  The longer you leave the paint on the wood before wiping the excess off, the whiter the wood will become. If you want the wood to be mostly white with only a bit of wood showing through, leave the paint on for longer than 3-4 minutes. The exact amount of time that you leave the paint on the wood can vary depending on the type of wood, the age of the wood, and the weather. Use the 3-4 minutes as a guide, but check the paint frequently. As soon as it begins to feel tacky, the paint should be removed. Let each layer of paint dry completely, before adding another whitewash layer. The number of layers depends on how much coverage you desire. If you want a bright, very white finished product, you may need 4-5 layers. If you want more of the wood to shine through, 1-3 layers will be sufficient.

summary: Clean and sand the wood. Consider staining the wood to make the grain more visible. Mix equal parts paint and water until the paint is semi-transparent. Use a clean rag, foam roller, or paint brush to apply the whitewash. Remove the excess whitewash with a paper towel or clean rag. Add additional layers of paint if necessary.

This will begin the first phase: hop. Generally, you will want to use your dominant foot. Get a running start (lasting about 17-18 strides) so you can forcefully jump off the board. Pull your opposite foot up behind you.  Make sure not to run beyond the board during your hop, as doing so is considered a foul.  For the hop and skip, you will begin your jump with the same foot. While you are airborne during the hop, skip, and jump, never let your hands drop lower than your chest or higher than your chin. Move both arms forward, as if you are grabbing something in front of you. If your arms are too high, you are more likely to fall out of position when you hit the ground. Don't position your arms behind your back. Doing so will slow you down during takeoff and landing. During the hop and step, you will land with your dominant foot flat or roll from heel to toe. Do not put too much pressure on either your heel or toes. Once you've touched the ground, roll forward onto the balls of your feet and prepare for the step. Again with your dominant foot, jump with your back leg extended behind the body. You will keep your your back leg's heel up to prepare for the landing. Land with your back leg forward to complete the step and prepare for the final phase: jump.  Keep your knee high and parallel to your hips for correct form.  For the step, your goal is to get off the ground as soon as possible. During the jump, you will leap with your opposite (formerly back foot). By this point, you will be close to the sandpit. Bring both feet together with your knees parallel to your chest as you jump into the pit. Unlike the first two steps, land the jump with your heels first.

summary: Run up to the board and jump. Keep your arms extended in front of your body. Hit the ground with your foot flat. Start your step with the same foot. Begin the final phase (jumping) with your opposite foot.

Clear your work area and wash a ripe papaya and cucumber to remove bacteria or dirt from the skins of both. You will also need to break out your blender or borrow one from a friend. You'll need it to puree your ingredients into a fine paste. Your total supplies include:  Papaya (ripe) Banana Cucumber Bowl (for brightening mixture) Knife Blender You should cut your ingredients into the proper proportions, first. Remove the meat of the banana from its encasing skin and divide it in half. Then quarter your papaya and cucumber with a knife. Add all three ingredients to your blender. Banana and papaya both have skin fortifying and disinfecting properties that will cleanse your skin and leave it glowing. Use circular motions to massage a thick layer of your mixture onto your skin. You will want to allow time for the nutrients in your mask to infuse with and impart health benefits to your skin. Papaya has special enzymes in it that exfoliate your skin, and this can leave your skin brighter as a result! Wait for 15 minutes before using warm water to rinse your mixture from your face. Your warm water rinse should have flushed most of your masque from your skin, now you should rinse one more time with cold water. This will take off any residual mixture that's still on your skin and close your pores to prevent blockages. Dry your face by patting it dry. Rubbing might cause irritation, or can rub off fibers onto your face.
summary: Gather your ingredients and a blender. Add the ingredients to your blender. Massage the mixture into your face. Rinse your face after allowing your mixture to set. Remove any remaining mixture and close your pores.
