Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure the sugar, tapioca, milk, and egg. Stir and let the pudding mixture rest for 5 minutes. Stir and cook the pudding for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool the tapioca pudding for 20 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.

Answer: Place a medium saucepan on the stove and measure 1⁄3 cup (65 g) of sugar into it. Add 3 tablespoons (28 g) of quick-cooking tapioca and 2 3⁄4 cups (650 ml) of milk. Beat 1 egg and add it to the saucepan. It's important to use quick-cooking (small pearl) tapioca because large pearl tapioca has to soak for hours before you cook it. Stir the tapioca pudding ingredients until they're combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the tapioca softens a little. Turn the heat on to medium and stir the tapioca pudding mixture. Keep stirring and cooking the pudding until it comes to a full boil. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Once the pudding is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat. Let the pudding sit for 20 minutes. Don't stir the pudding until it's cooled a little. The tapioca pudding will continue to cook and thicken as it sits. Pour one teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract into the tapioca pudding and stir it until it's distributed in the pudding. You can serve the tapioca pudding while it's still a little warm or refrigerate it and serve it cold. Consider topping the tapioca pudding with a sprinkle of cinnamon and some whipped cream.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare a standard cake batter. Preheat the oven. Grease the pans. Pour the batter into the pans. Place heat conductors in the pans. Bake until done. Remove the heat conductors. Remove the cake from the pans.

Answer: You can prepare any boxed cake mix or homemade cake batter recipe with topsy turvy cake pans. Simply make sure that you prepare enough cake batter for all the pans you'll be using. Look at the total number of servings indicated by the recipe instructions. Compare that amount to the estimated number of servings indicated for each topsy turvy cake pan you plan to use. If the recipe makes less than you need, increase the recipe. If it makes more, cut the recipe down. The exact temperature can vary based on the cake batter you prepare, but usually, you will need to preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).  If you are only baking in pans that are 10 inches (25 cm) or smaller, preheat the oven to 315 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). If you're also including a 12-inch (30-cm) or 14-inch (36-cm) layer, however, you should stick with 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). These temperature guidelines should apply to nearly all boxed cake batters and most homemade batters. If a cake has to bake at an abnormally high or low temperature, however, you should consult the instructions and preheat the oven according to the guidelines they provide. Spray each of the topsy turvy cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Make sure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly coated to prevent the finished cake from sticking.  Shortening or butter can be used to grease the pans if nonstick cooking spray is unavailable. To provide an extra layer of protection, you can also dust the inside of each pan lightly with flour after greasing it. Pour your prepared batter into each of the cake pans. Only fill the pans roughly three-quarters high with batter. Do not fill the pans to the top. Leave one-quarter of the pan (measured from the shallowest end) empty to allow the cake room to expand as it bakes. Otherwise, you will be left with layers that have a rounded top, and that rounded top will need to be trimmed off if you want the layers to stack well. Insert two to four flower nails into the batter at the deep end of each cake pan. The head of each nail should rest on the batter and the rest of the nail should point down.  A flower nail is a metal tool typically used for holding flower decorations on cakes. Note that a heating core can be used instead of a flower nail. Use two or three nails for a 10-inch (25-cm) layer and three or four nails for larger sizes. Grease the inside and outside of the heat conductor before inserting it into the deep side of the batter. If you are using a heating core, make sure that batter gets inside the core. The metal of the nail or core conducts heat, thereby providing more concentrated heat to the portion of batter it's in. By placing the conductors in the deep side of the pan, you can help the deep side cook evenly with the shallow end. The exact amount of time can vary depending on the size of the pan and the cake batter. For most cakes, you should start checking the cake for doneness after 25 minutes pass.  To check for doneness, stick a knife or toothpick into the thickest end of each cake layer. The tool should come out dry and clean. If you drag batter out of the cake, continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes and check again. Get a more accurate estimate of how long to cook the cake by referring to the recipe instructions. Once the cake has finished cooking, immediately remove the flower nails from the finished cake. If you used heating cores instead of flower nails, you will need to remove the core and carefully remove the cake from inside the core after it has cooled. Use this small cylinder of cake to fill the hole in your cake layer left by the core. Let the layers cool in their pans for 10 to 15 minutes before carefully removing each one.  Place the pans on wire racks as the cake cools inside. After 10 to 15 minutes, slide a butter knife around the edges of the pan to help separate the cake from the pan. Carefully tip the pan upside-down and tap on the bottom with your fingers. The cake should fall out. If the cake does not fall out on its own, you might need to carefully glide a knife or spatula beneath the cake while it is still in the pan to help loosen it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make the date a suggestion. Frame the date as their own idea. Explain the benefits. Ask directly.

Answer: When you are asking someone what their plans are and if they want to go on a date with you, asking indirectly can be the best way to do so.  Using indirect phrasing can make the other person feel less pressure and allow them to answer honestly.  When asking for a date, always phrase the question to be an indirect one. Ask them what their plans are.  If they don't have any, present your own plans and ask them if they'd like to join you. As you ask someone out on a date, you can try to phrase your request in a way that will make the other person feel as if it was their own idea.  People are often more comfortable with their own thoughts and ideas and are more likely to agree to your plan for the date. For example, ask about any good restaurants nearby.  When they suggest one, respond by saying that the restaurant sounds great and since they like it maybe you should both go sometime. One way of asking for a date involves phrasing your request in a way that highlights the benefits of going.  By presenting a reason why it would be a good idea to go with you on this date, the other person will be more likely to agree to the date. Explain why a certain place is worth visiting.  If they like the idea, let them know that you want to visit this place as well and suggest you go together. Some people won't like indirect questioning and it may come off as manipulative.  If you think the person you are going to ask on a date would prefer the direct approach, you should ask them in that manner.  This method avoids any potentially lost or misunderstood meaning and gets directly to the point. Simply ask if the other person would like to go on a date you have in mind.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn one-on-one defending to be useful anywhere on the field. Keep your eyes up throughout the game, especially when you have the ball. Communicate on the field, talking constantly to aid your team. Watch professional games at least once a week, learning from the best. Learn the basics of team tactics, becoming a team leader on offense and defense.

Answer:
From strikers to center-backs, everyone needs to know individual defending. So get a partner and start playing 1v1, working on handling your man and pressuring him effectively. When defending one on one, remember to:  Stay slightly crouched and on the balls of your feet.  Your knees should be bent in an athletic position, allowing you to react quickly. Angle your body, with one foot ahead of the other, so that you invite the attacker to go to one side. Force them to the sideline, or to your other defenders, instead of standing straight up and letting them choose your direction. Watch a player's hips to avoid getting tricked. Your hips are your center of gravity, and they generally telegraph where a player is going unless they're Lionel Messi. It is almost impossible to quickly change your hips direction, and you can use this to your advantage as a defender. Great players are always scanning the field, especially when they have the ball. This takes practice, as it's harder to control a ball you can't see. But learning to use the bottom of your eyesight while scanning the field is an essential skill to become a smarter, and thus better, player. Use practices to work on keeping your head up. Turn the ball over now, not in games, and you'll quickly see improvement. Great players are always talking: "Open man," "I've got the ball," "I need some help," and much, much more is constantly being shouted on the field, and there is a good reason. Soccer is a team game, and intelligent players know the team must be on the same page for all 90 minutes to get the most out of the game. Be a team leader and start chattering every game and practice. Essential things to talk about throughout the game include:   Defensive Marks: let your team know who you're covering if you want to challenge the ball, and if there are any unmarked defenders who need to be covered.  Advice to the player dribbling: don't shout tons of info at them, but don't leave them in the dark. Tell them when they have time and when there is a "man on."  Making Runs: Tell your teammate you're "overlapping!" or that "you can play it back" if they need. When you make a big run, don't assume they will always see you, especially if their head is down. Note where the players are not just when they have the ball, but off of it. What runs are people in your position making? When do they move up to attack and when do they peel back. Don't be afraid to be a bit of a critic -- use these games to learn new ideas and break down why certain things didn't work. How would you play differently, and how would you like to emulate your favorite players?  Burgeoning players can also check out tutorials, clips, and highlights on YouTube, which can help fill in gaps if you're unsure what techniques the pros are using on shots or passes. Find a team or league you love and become a fan -- the more you watch the better your play will be. A big part of soccer intelligence is learning how to work as a team. While each team has specific strategies that they must develop together, there are some tactics that hold true no matter what team you're on:   Contract on defense, expand on offense. This is the basis of all strategies -- you want to take away space on defense and create space when attacking. So, on defense, you come together near the center of the field, forming a unified base and moving together to prevent offensive threats. On offense, you try to make them break this base by stretching out to defend you and your team.  Follow up all shots, forcing the defense to react. Even decent shots can turn into goals if your team is crashing the goal on shots and crosses. This sort of pressure can upend defenses, as defenders will face their own goal on a rebound and have a very hard time clearing it safely.  Keep your shape defensively. Even if you're not playing an offside trap, the defense should be on a horizontal line, holding shape. When defenses lose this shape, they create gaps and holes between themselves. If you play in the back, always look left and right and keep everyone in a mostly even line.
