Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write the author’s last name followed by the first initial. Write the date of the article’s publication in parentheses. Add the name of the article after the publication date. Italicize the name of the publication after the article title. Create an in-text citation if needed.

Answer: Write the author’s last name, followed by a comma, and then add the first initial followed by a period. If the author has a middle name, make that an initial as well.  For example, Mike Mullins would become: Mullins, M. Mike Andrew Mullins III would become: Mullins, M. A., III. Write an open parenthesis, the year of publication, a comma, the full month, and then the day of the month. End with a closing parenthesis followed by a period. For example: Mullins, M. (1990, April 6). Write the name of the article in sentence case with a capitalized first letter and the rest lowercase—other than proper nouns. Close that with a period. For example: Mullins, M. (1990, April 6). Keeping up with James Jones. Capitalize and italicize the name of the publication where the article you’re citing appeared. Follow that with a comma.  For example: For example: Mullins, M. (1990, April 6). Keeping up with James Jones. Time,  The name of the publication should appear in title case if it is more than 1 word. Cite a quote from the article in your essay by using an in-text citation. Write the citation as an open parenthesis, the author’s last name, a comma, the year of publication, a comma, p. and then the page number, followed by a closed parenthesis and a period. Place the in-text citation immediately after the quotation being cited. For example: He says, “Keeping up with James is a life’s work” (Mullins, 1990, p. 22). If you introduce the quote with the author’s name, include the publication year in parentheses after the name. Then, after the quote, put the p. and the page number in parentheses. For example: Mullins (1990) says that “keeping up with James is a life’s work” (p. 22).


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make an avocado, honey, and sugar mask. Combine a healthy oil with sugar. Try a cornmeal or nut meal-based scrub. Revitalize your face with a coffee scrub. Soothe and nourish with an oatmeal scrub.

Answer: Mash up an avocado and mix it with two tablespoons honey and one tablespoon sugar. The sugar will provide a soft exfoliation while the honey and avocado will nourish your skin.  If you have oily skin, add in one to two teaspoons of fresh lemon juice to help tighten skin and dry up pores. Allow the mask to sit on your face for 15-20 minutes before washing it off thoroughly. There are several different options you can choose from when it comes to selecting an oil to mix into your exfoliant scrub. Choose nut-based oils that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids to tighten and rejuvenate skin. Mix about two tablespoons of oil into one tablespoon of brown or white sugar and use a washcloth to apply to your face, scrubbing in small circles. Rinse with warm water. Some commonly recommended oils include:  Coconut oil Almond oil Olive oil Grapeseed oil Chamomile oil Avocado oil  Safflower oil Combine two to three tablespoons of either cornmeal or some sort of ground nut meal, such as almond or walnut meal, and a small amount of water. You want the scrub to be a pasty consistency. Apply a generous coating to your face and allow it to sit for about 15 minutes before washing off with warm water. Don’t use this if you have a nut allergy. The rough texture of coffee combined with the caffeic acid it contains makes it a good exfoliating agent. Caffeic acid has anti-inflammatory properties and helps increase collagen production, leaving your skin smooth and healthy.  Mix one tablespoon of ground coffee with one tablespoon of water or olive oil and apply it to your face. If you have particularly oily skin, use plain water instead of olive oil. Allow the mask to sit on your face for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. Be sure to use freshly ground coffee beans, not instant coffee. Instant coffee will dissolve in water immediately. An alternative is to steam you face for 20 minutes to open up the pores. Then mix 1 tablespoon coffee powder with milk or honey to form a thick paste. Apply this paste on your face in a circular motion. Leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off with cold water to close the pores. Particularly beneficial for people with dry skin, oatmeal scrubs can exfoliate while nourishing your skin.  Mix two tablespoons ground oatmeal (not instant) with one teaspoon salt or sugar and one tablespoon water or olive oil. If you have oily skin, opt for salt and water as additives. If you have dry skin, opt for sugar and oil to help hydrate skin. Apply the mixture to your skin and allow it to sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Allow your stove to cool. Remove the burner grates and caps. Fill the sink with hot water and dish soap.

Answer: Turn off all your gas burners and allow the stove to cool down completely before cleaning. Cleaning a stove while it is hot can result in injury. Once the burners are cool, lift them away from the stove. Place them in the sink. Burners can be placed in a large bucket or wash basin if a sink is not available. Completely submerge the burners in hot water. Add a drizzle of dish soap to the water while it is running to create suds. Allow the burners to soak while you clean the stove.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don’t make it awkward. Don’t just stand there. Keep your arms away from their neck and head. Don’t lift her up unless she asks.

Answer:
You don’t have to apologize for being tall, and the girl you’re hugging doesn’t have to apologize for being short. There’s no need to say “Guess I’ll need to bend down” or “Sorry I’m so short.” Two people hugging will always recognize the size disparity between one another. However, there’s always room for some playful honesty in moments like this. It won’t hurt to be upfront and say “Okay, how would you like to do this?” Plenty of guys might overthink the situation and wonder if it isn’t better to just allow the girl to position herself however she’s comfortable and let their own arms rest wherever seems appropriate. This, however, isn’t really fair to whoever you’re hugging. Be sure to be proactive at the start of the hug.  As suggested, be sure to bend down if hugging from the front or move your arm(s) out when hugging for the side. It’s not a terrible instinct to allow the shorter person to position themselves, but you need to meet them halfway by doing some positioning yourself. In either a side hug or a front-facing hug, your arms may very well be at the level of the shorter person’s head. Since when two people of equal height hug they simply put their arms forward, the instinct is to do the same with any other hug. As you can imagine, having your head squeezed doesn’t really constitute a great hug. Unless the girl you’re hugging is your significant other, don’t assume that just because a girl a short and you’re tall that she'd like to be lifted into the air. Some might assume it’s a playful and comical way to address the height difference, but it can quickly turn into an uncomfortable experience for the person you’re hugging.
