Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do a left or right flank. Do a horn slide or a lateral slide. Do a crab step. Do a horn flash. Do a slow turn. Halt.

Answer: Turn 90 degrees to the left, pivoting on the ball of your right foot. To do a right flank, turn 90 degrees to the right and pivot on your left foot. To perform a horn slide, you will only turn the upper half of your body instead of turning on the ball of your foot. Turn the upper half of your body (along with your horn) 90 degrees right or left, while keeping your legs and feet in the same position, marching in the same direction they were before, if you are marching. For a lateral slide, do a left or right flank with the lower half of your body, but keep the upper half of your body facing the same direction as it was before. For percussionists, the crab step will substitute for a slide. To crab step to the left, on the count of 1 sidestep with your left foot over your right, taking about ¾ of a standard sized step. Then sidestep with your right foot, take a slightly larger 1¼ sized step so that you are moving at the same pace as the horn section who is taking standard sized steps each time. Make a sharp up-and-down motion with your head, which will cause the instrument to move up and down. This will accompany turning movements. Make a 90 degree turn in 4 counts. To halt, bring your feet back to the attention positing, beginning the movement with your right foot and ending on your left foot.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place your box in the window to ensure a snug fit. Attach the AC unit to the box with a single screw. Fill the screw holes in with Spackle. Caulk the edges to provide a seal against outside air. Prime every surface of the wood to make the box weatherproof.

Answer: When placing the box into your window, make sure that it fits flush and does not wiggle or fall out.  Remove the screen before placing your box into the window frame. The sash filler you built into the bottom your box should accommodate the ridges of the windowsill, fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle. The catch on the top of your box (created by the vertical and horizontal window catches) should provide a snug place for the bottom edge of the window to slide down into. If the box fits well in the window, you can now secure your AC unit to the box.  On the top flange of the AC unit, there should be a single hole meant for one screw. This is usually used to attach the AC unit to the window frame, but in this case you should put a screw through the hole into your box. Using a putty knife, smooth some Spackle over the screw holes to make them look natural and flush.  Make the holes smooth with a putty knife. Let it dry. Sand it down to make it smooth. Fill the edges with caulking to provide a seal against drafts and to keep your cold air in your house.  Caulking the edges makes sure that the AC unit does not leak air. Make sure you want to keep the AC in the box before you caulk, because this can make it a semi-permanent fixture. Priming and painting the box will make sure that it can withstand the test of time.  Let the primer dry for an hour if there is low air humidity. This will make sure that rain and humidity do not rot your wood box.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash tomatoes thoroughly after gathering them from the garden. Arrange a layer of dry tomatoes on a baking tray. Pop the tray in the freezer to flash-freeze the tomatoes. Remove the tray. Place them back in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

Answer: Wipe them off or allow them to air dry. Make room in your freezer for the tray. Keep them uncovered for 15 to 30 minutes. The larger the tomatoes, the longer they will need to stay in the freezer initially. Ensure that the tomatoes are hard. Pour the tomatoes into large freezer bags and remove all of the air. Label and date your frozen tomatoes. They should be used within two or three months. Remove them and place them to thaw on your counter. After thawing, you can easily peel away the loosened skins.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use an envelope that’s no bigger than 12 by 15 inches (30 by 38 cm). Check that your envelope isn’t thicker than 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm). Weigh your item to see how much postage you need to pay. Pay a lower price if your envelope is letter-sized.

Answer:
These are the maximum length and height measurements for large envelopes. Anything larger than this qualifies as a parcel, and it’ll cost more to send. Place the item you’re sending into your envelope. Once it’s in there, use a ruler to see how thick the envelope is. If it’s too thick, the post office will define it as a parcel. Try to make sure the item is the same amount of thickness all over the envelope. A lumpy envelope with some thicker parts and some thinner parts will also be characterized as a parcel. Go to page 37 of the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) price guide: https://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/dmm300/Notice123.pdf. This will tell you the amount you’ll need to pay per ounce. You can use multiple stamps to reach the total amount or visit the post office to pay by cash, check, or card. It costs $0.98 USD to send a large envelope that weighs 1 ounce (28 g). So long as your large envelope weighs less than 13 ounces (370 g), you can send it by dropping it in a blue USPS mailbox or by leaving it in your home mailbox with the red flag raised. If your envelope is less than 6 1⁄8 by 11 1⁄2 inches (16 by 29 cm), it counts as a letter rather than a large envelope. This means you don’t have to pay as much! Your letter can’t, however, be thicker than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm).
