Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply warm water. Scrub the grout in a vigorous, back-and-forth motion. Try a baking soda paste. Rinse the grout with water. Dry the grout.

Answer: Fill a bucket or spray bottle with warm water. Douse small sections of grout at a time. Use a narrow scrub brush, tile brush, or stiff toothbrush. If you’re having trouble getting into corners or grout lines with your brush, try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for those areas. Instead of a scrub brush, you can try a closed-loop microfiber cloth. If so, wear gloves to protect your hands from the friction. If water alone doesn’t work, mix three parts baking soda with one part water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the grout, and let it sit for one to two hours. Spray with plain water, then scrub the grout again. Alternately, make a paste from two parts baking soda to one part hydrogen peroxide. Let the paste sit on the grout for several minutes before scrubbing it and rinsing it clean. Use clean running water, a spray bottle or a clean, wet sponge to rinse the grout. Use clean cloths to buff remaining moisture from the grout. Open a window or turn on a fan until the grout is dry to the touch.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Master your defensive stance and swing first. Adapt your aggressive style from your defensive base. Practice hard and visualize success. Show the bowler you can defend their best efforts.

Answer: Most batting instructors seem to agree that an aggressive approach should be built from the foundation of a solid defensive approach. Defensive batting allows you to focus on tracking the ball, positioning your body, and making controlled contact. Some instructors do, however, say that you should do the reverse and start by developing your aggressive swing, since this approach is usually a novice batter’s natural inclination. You’ll have to decide which approach is best for you. Assuming that you’ve chosen to develop confidence in your defensive batting approach first, use it as the basis for your aggressive stroke. In many ways, your aggressive swing will simply involve doing more of what you’re already doing—more clearing of the front leg, more hip rotation, more arm extension. If you're practicing in a batting cage or an open field, have your partner toss tennis balls from a short distance. Spend time using your defensive stroke to just make controlled contact and place the ball, then build up to your power stroke. Then, have them move back to the standard bowling position and repeat the process. Aggressive batting isn’t all physical—there’s a critical mental component involved. You have to believe you can make clean, powerful contact with the bowler’s offering. As with most aspects of cricket, practice and repetition builds confidence, and confidence is a necessity for successful aggressive batting. Before the match, and even before you step up to the wicket, take a moment to visualize your ideal power stroke and result. Envision success, not failure! Aggressive hitting isn’t just about trying to get 6 runs with every stroke. When the opposing bowler makes a great effort, simply bat the ball away safely and show them that you can handle their “best stuff.” Let them make a mistake, and then pounce on it. When done successfully, aggressive hitting is a great way to pile up runs. It can also demoralize the bowler and the entire opposing team, which can open the door to mistakes on their side and more success for yours.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mix one cup of sugar, ⅛ cup water, and ⅛ cup lemon juice. Heat your ingredients on the stove. Remove from heat. Apply and remove wax as normal. Try adding your favorite scents.

Answer: If you don't have any commercial wax handy, don't worry! It's easy to clean up your eyebrows with a homemade recipe that uses just a few common ingredients. To begin, combine one part water, one part lemon juice, and eight parts sugar in a mixing bowl. We've provided measurement suggestions above, but the recipe is very easy to adjust as long as you keep the ratios of the ingredients the same. This recipe is similar to an ancient Egyptian technique known as "body sugaring." This old technique works the same as modern waxing — it just uses ingredients that were available thousands of years ago. Pour your slushy mix into a saucepan and start to warm it over low heat on the stove. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the mixture's temperature carefully. You don't want it to boil over, so it's important not to heat it too quickly. Heat the mixture to 250o F (121o C) before continuing. At this temperature, the sugar enters what culinary experts call the "hardball" candy stage, gaining a thick, tacky, adhesive quality — perfect for waxing. At 250o F (or when bubbles appear), remove the sugar mixture from the heat. Pour it into a clean bowl. Allow the sugar mixture to cool to a temperature that isn't painful to the touch but is still "liquid" enough to use for waxing. This should take no more than fifteen minutes. At this point, you can use your homemade sugar wax basically the same way you would use ordinary artificial wax. Use a clean applicator like a piece of silverware or a popsicle stick to apply a thin layer of wax to the hair between your eyebrows in the same direction as the hair growth. Press a thin strip of cloth into the sugar wax. Wait for the sugar wax to harden, then tear the strip away from the skin opposite the direction of skin growth. You'll probably have some leftover sugar wax when you're done — you can save this in the refrigerator in a sealed container. When you want to use it again, you can simply warm it in the microwave. You don't need to warm it on the stove again. The great thing about this recipe is that it's extremely versatile — it's easy to change it to fit your needs. For instance, to give your sugar wax the scent of your choice, all you need to do is add a little of your favorite fragrance during the cooling phase. Below are just a few things you may want to consider adding to make your wax more appealing:  Crushed lavender petals Shredded mint leaves Shredded basil leaves Peppermint extract Orange peel Sandalwood extract


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a ball with the right grip for you. Identify the type of ball you are using. Select a ball of the appropriate weight.

Answer:
The holes must fit your fingers in such a way that you can hold the ball without having to squeeze and you can let go without your fingers getting stuck. Because you will be imparting rotation on the ball in the final split seconds that your hand is in contact with it, the importance of grip cannot be overstated.  With the ball resting in the palm of your dominant hand, put your middle and ring finger all the way into the two holes that are side-by-side, and your thumb in the hole under them. The holes should be the size of the fingers and thumb, and you should be able to hold the ball easily in the palm of your hand. There shouldn't be tension in the web of your thumb, nor should it be slack.  It should take very little pressure to hold the ball in your hand. If you could break an egg with that amount of pressure, it's too much. The characteristics of the core or interior weight block of the bowling ball play an important part in the ball's performance. While there are a number of different core alignments, there are two basic categories into which all balls fit. Determine which type you are using before you get started.  Look over your bowling ball and see if it has just one "pin"--the spot on the exterior, usually of a different color, indicating the orientation of the core--or a single normal pin plus a second PSA indicator/mass bias pin. If there is only one pin, the ball should have a symmetric weight block. If you bisected the ball along the axis of the pin, you would discover that both sides are symmetric. This type of ball may be easier for a beginner to handle. A ball with an asymmetric weight block should possess two pins or a pin and an indicator. Just as the name indicates, these balls do not contain symmetric cores, and can contain any shape from that of a cube to something resembling the letter "L." It may prove slightly more difficult for a beginner to attain consistent performance with these bowling balls, but practice with a single ball can certainly change that. There are two separate guidelines used to suggest the size of ball that should be used. One rule of thumb focuses on the sex of the bowler, and suggests that adult women should use a 10-14 pound ball, while adult men use a 14-16 pound ball. The alternate guideline states that a bowler should use a ball roughly 10% of their body weight, up to the 16 pound maximum size of the ball for those over 160 pounds in weight.  It is important to use a ball of the appropriate weight in order to impart the necessary amount of spin. A strong individual using a smallish ball could easily impart too much torque and put the ball in the gutter. A weaker individual using too heavy a ball could struggle to impart enough spin in order to make the ball hook. The weight of the ball should be clearly marked on it.
