Problem: Article: Make the mixture with cold water. Pour 16 fluid ounces (470 ml) of water into a bowl. Combine it with about 16 ounces (450 g) of flour, stirring until the mixture is smooth.  This mixture will create an inexpensive, non-toxic paint that can be used to give walls and other surfaces a matte finish. This paint is similar to store-bought paints, so it will last for many years. Pour about 1 ½ cups of water into a pot safe to be heated on a stove. Turn the heat on the stove up to high and wait for the water to boil. Lower the heat, stirring the mixture continually with a whisk or another mixing tool. The mixture should turn into a thick paste within 3 to 5 minutes. Once it becomes a paste, remove it from the heat. Check the paste’s consistency to ensure that it is thick. If it seems runny, give it more cooking time. Use only cold water so the paste doesn’t thin out too much. Slowly pour it onto the paste, mixing the entire time. The water will thin the paste to a paint-like consistency as you stir.. Adding the water too quickly can thin the paste out more than you want, so it won’t be thick enough to cover your walls. In a mixing bowl, combine about 8 ounces (230 g) of screened clay filler with 4 ounces (110 g) of a powder filler such as mica or iron sulfate. These ingredients give the paint color and stability, preventing unsightly peeling and cracking on your walls.  Screened clay can be ordered online or from landscaping companies. Powder fillers are often available at home improvements stores and can also be purchased online. Slowly add the clay mixture to the paste, stirring it the entire time. Mix the ingredients together until the paste reaches the consistency you desire. You can then spread it over your paint surface with brushes like you would with any regular latex or oil paint. You can thin the paint further by boiling it for up to 30 minutes, then mixing in about 32 fluid ounces (950 ml) of linseed oil. Let it cool to the touch before using it. Brush the paint over your painting surface, then wait for the paint to set. The paint will dry out in about 1 hour and cure within 24 hours. You may then wish to give your painting surface a second coating to make it look great. Move the excess to a sealed container, such as a paint can, in a closet, garage, or similar area.  Properly-stored paint should last 5 to 10 years. You can also leave the excess paint out in the open to dry, then dispose of it in the trash.
Summary: Mix cold water and flour into a mixing bowl. Boil 12 fluid ounces (350 ml) of water on the stove. Turn the heat down and stir the mixture into a paste. Stir 16 fluid ounces (470 ml) of cold water into the paste. Mix screened clay and powder filler in a separate bowl. Add the filler material to the paste. Use the paint and store the excess in a sealed container.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It’s common for English speakers to see Latin words and phrases italicized, such as in medias res (“in the middle of things”) or in loco parentis (“in the place of a parent”). However, Latin words and phrases that have entered common usage are usually not italicized -- including i.e. and e.g. To indicate a separate clause, you can either insert a comma before "i.e." or "e.g." or you can use parentheses, both of which are shown in the examples above. If you use parentheses, open them right before the "e.g." or "i.e." and close them after you have given your example or alternate definition. For American English usage, you should always put a comma right after both "i.e." and "e.g." as shown in the examples above. For British English usage, do not put a comma right after either "i.e." or "e.g." If you’re just writing for yourself or in an informal situation, you may not have any specific requirements. However, if you’re writing in a particular academic discipline, or in a particular profession (such as journalism), you will probably be asked to write in accordance with the relevant style manual. For example, APA Style, the official style of the American Psychological Association, is used widely in the social sciences and in professions like journalism. APA states that you should always put a comma after e.g. and i.e. when using them: “Some sources (e.g., Janet, 2010; Jeff, 2015) argue that mushrooms are tasty” and “There are three meals in the day (i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner)”. If you use a sentence that includes i.e. and a parenthetical comment, make sure that the restatement is directly equivalent to what you said first: you should be able to swap them out without a loss of meaning.  The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., one that uses only one piece of bread rather than two)” represents correct usage of i.e. The sentence “His favorite type of sandwich is an open-faced sandwich (i.e., a panini or similar type of sandwich)” represents incorrect usage, because “a panini or similar type of sandwich” is NOT directly equivalent to “an open-faced sandwich.” If it sounds reasonable, then you are probably using the right one. For example, "I like quiet activities (e.g., reading)" becomes "I like quiet activities (for example, reading)". When trying this with i.e., it is often easier to use "in other words" instead of "that is."

SUMMARY: Italicize only if specifically asked. Use parentheses or commas with both. Determine any style manual requirements. Ensure that what you write after i.e. means the same as what precedes it. Try replacing the abbreviations with their meaning.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Like your hands, your nails should be washed regularly. When washing your hands, make sure to gently scrub the surface of your nails. You should also scrub the undersides with soap and water to remove harmful bacteria trapped under the nails. When nails are wet, bacteria can more easily grow underneath your fingernails. Always dry your nails thoroughly after washing them. You should wear gloves when doing household chores, like washing dishes or cleaning with products containing chemicals. Like your skin, your nails may need moisturizer on occasion as well. Water can dry out natural oils in nails, which need replenishing with an over-the-counter moisturizer. When using lotion, make sure to rub some moisturizer onto the surface of each nail.  Pick a gentle moisturizer free of a lot of chemicals or added scents. If you develop a rash after starting a new moisturizer, cease use. You may have a mild allergy to that brand. You should clean clippers and other nail grooming equipment regularly. This can prevent you nails from getting exposed to bacteria. You can clean toenail and fingernail clippers with antibacterial soap and water. Make sure to dry completely before use. Toenails can sometimes become thick and difficult to trim. If this is the case, soak your toenails in warm water before cutting. Mix a teaspoon of salt in with a pint of water. Soak your toenails for 5 to 10 minutes before trying to trim them.
Summary:
Clean your nails regularly. Keep your nails dry. Moisturize your nails with lotion. Clean your clippers and nail grooming equipment. Soak toenails before clipping.
