Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare your trick. Cut out this circle from the paper. Place the rigged drinking glass upside down on another piece of the same colored paper. Begin the trick.

Answer: This trick involves a bit of preparation that you have to do before you perform it in front of your audience. This magic trick works by covering the top of a glass with a circular piece of paper that’s the same color as the piece of paper you'll perform the trick on. Make the cut neat and stick as closely as you can to your outline. If you have a sloppy circle, it will be more obvious.  Once you’ve cut out the paper circle, erase the line you drew. This will help your circular cutout to look more natural. Use an Exacto knife if you have one to cut the circle. Keep your glass over the circle while you cut to ensure you get a nice, even circle. If you don’t have an Exacto knife, you can use a pair of scissors. The mouth of the glass should look normal as if it’s simply upside down. You shouldn't be able to tell that there is a piece of paper taped to the rim. Place a quarter on the paper next to the clear drinking glass. To lend the illusion authenticity, ask an audience member for the quarter or another coin.  If you like, read aloud the year on the quarter and emphasize that the quarter must be real since it came from the audience. Show it around, give it a flip, knock it against the table to prove that it is solid. By directing your audience’s attention to the quarter, you direct focus toward an ordinary object and give it magical weight. This misdirect also keeps your audience engaged so there is less focus on the glass. Your glass should be on another piece of paper which is the same color, or on one piece of paper which is large enough to fit the quarter and glass.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See a gastroenterologist. Get a colonoscopy. Have other visual diagnostics taken.

Answer: Although your family doctor can help rule out some other causes of abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea with blood tests and a stool sample, it's best to get a referral to an intestinal specialist called a gastroenterologist. These specialists will use diagnostic equipment to look directly at the lining of the colon to see if any ulceration is present.  A blood test can confirm anemia (reduced red blood cells), which infers some sort of internal bleeding due to ulcers of perforation.  A blood test can also show elevated white blood cells, which indicates some sort of bacterial or viral infection instead. A stool sample that shows blood and pus (dead white blood cells) indicates some sort of IBD, whereas lots of bacteria or parasites indicates an infection. A colonoscopy allows your gastroenterologist to look at your entire colon by using a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached to the end of it. The "scope" is inserted into the rectum and takes pictures of the lining of the entire large intestine, so any ulcers are visualized. During the procedure, a small tissue sample (biopsy) can be taken and looked at under a microscope.  As an alternative, a flexible sigmoidoscope can also be used to be visualize the last part of the colon called the sigmoid. Sigmoidoscopy is a better choice over colonoscopy if your large intestine is severely inflamed. Scoping the colon can be somewhat uncomfortable, but usually not painful enough to warrant anesthesia or strong pain killers. Lubrication and muscle relaxants are usually enough. If your symptoms are severe, your gastroenterologist may take an abdominal x-ray after you've swallowed a thick "barium shake" in order to rule out a perforated colon. The doctor may also order an abdominal CT scan in order to see how much of the colon is ulcerated and how deep it is. A CT scan is great for distinguishing between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.  Magnetic resonance (MR) enterography is a more sensitive test for finding inflammation and ulceration in the colon and doesn't involve any radiation. Chromoendoscopy is used by specialists to rule out colorectal cancer. It involves spraying the inside of the colon with a special dye that highlights cancerous tissue.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut out shape from felt. Cut the elastic to fit around your head. Glue the felt to the elastic. Glue the elastic ends together. Embellish the headband.

Answer: Pick out one or two shapes to use on your headband. Draw the shapes on paper and cut it out to use as a pattern. Place the pattern on the felt and use a permanent marker to trace around the shape. Trace eight to ten shapes on the felt. Use scissors to cut out the shapes.  Make sure the shapes are small so you can fit them on the headband. Shapes that are about one to two inches wide work great. If you want bigger shapes, you will just have less on your headband. Hearts, stars, flowers, and circles look great on a headband. You can use two different shapes to alternate in a pattern. Measure the elastic by wrapping it around your head. Pull the elastic to stretch a little while you measure. The elastic should be about one inch longer than the circumference around your head. Pinch the elastic with your fingers where you need to cut it, and bring it down to the table. Use scissors to cut the elastic where your fingers are. Use a hot glue gun to glue your shapes onto the elastic. Start in the middle of the elastic and glue one shape onto the elastic. Move down the elastic about two inches from the center shape and glue another shape on. Glue another shape about two inches above the center shape. Continue adding shapes in both directions until you have about two inches of elastic left on either end. You should have the same amount of shapes on either side of the center shape. Overlap the elastic ends so that one end is on top of the other and glue them together with the hot glue gun. There should only be about one inch of overlap. You can add finishing touches to the headband by adding embellishments to the felt shapes.  Sew around the edges of the felt shapes to create a hand sewn look. Glue jewels or buttons on the felt for a unique look.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place beans in a colander. Run water over the beans. Pat dry.

Answer:
For the best results, put the beans in a colander or wash basket. This will let you wash the beans under the sink while the water drains.  If you do not have a colander, you can rinse the beans in a bowl, draining the water from the bowl after you wash them. If you have nothing else that will work, you can hold the beans in your hands as you wash them.  Keep a tight grasp so that they do not fall. Turn on cold water from the tap. Set the green beans under the running water. If using a bowl or colander, move the beans around with your hands to make sure that they are evenly washed.  As you run water over the beans, remove visible dirt with your fingers. The water you use to clean the beans should be water that is safe to drink. If it is not safe, use distilled or bottled water instead. You can remove extra bacteria from the beans by drying them with a towel after washing. Use paper towels to gently pat the green beans dry. Once the beans have been washed and dried, you can  trim and prepare them for cooking.
