Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Act quickly if you are working with fabric. Soak up any paint before working with fabric. Saturate the painted area of fabric with laundry detergent. Rinse the fabric by hand with soap and water.

Answer: When enamel paint dries on fabric, it bonds with the fibers and becomes much more difficult to remove. If you can't get to work on removing the paint right away, then place a damp towel on the area. This will at least keep the paint wet until you can remove it. Place the fabric on a hard surface. Gently swipe the edge of a butter knife or spoon against the fabric, going with the grain. This should pick up some of the stain. Then, blot at the paint with a clean rag to pick up any more excess. If the paint has dried, you can also use a knife's blunt edge to flake it away. Be very careful when using a blunt edge to remove paint from a fabric or you may damage the threads. If you see any loosening threads, stop right away. Smooth the fabric out on a hard surface. Place a thin board directly underneath the paint stain, so it won't soak through. Use a toothbrush to apply a coating of detergent to the stain. Let the detergent soak for 5 minutes. Then, scrub the stain gently with a toothbrush. After the stain begins to lift, wash the fabric as the tag suggests. Or, you can soak it in water for 12 hours. Mix a 50-50 solution of warm water and dish soap in a bowl. Soak up the mixture with a clean sponge and then sit this sponge on top of the stain. Lightly press the sponge against the stain until the paint begins to lift.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Build intimacy on an intellectual level first. Embrace your role as the warmer partner. Allow independence. Be patient.

Answer: An aquarius will want to know what makes you tick. They have an intellectual interest in others over an emotional one, which can come off as somewhat removed at first. However, if an aquarius seems to be analyzing you, this is a good sign. It means they're interested.  Feel free to share your personal ideals, opinions, and future plans with an aquarius. This is how they feel close to a person. Talking about personal feelings may bore or confuse an aquarius, at least at first. While an aquarius can be quite charming and witty, they can be rather closed off emotionally. If an aquarius seems hesitant to reveal their emotional side, this is not a bad sign. They simply find intimacy through different means. In a relationship with an aquarius, you will have to be the warmer party. An aquarius will want to learn from their partner, and one thing you can teach an aquarius is the importance of intimacy. As you bond intellectually, gently nudge an aquarius to open up emotionally. You will usually have to be the one to initiate moments of emotional intimacy, but with time your aquarius partner will appreciate this.  Encourage an aquarius to share their feelings. Begin to share yours in small increments. An Aquarius may approach your feelings on an intellectual level, at least at first, but they are loyal and kindhearted partners. An aquarius is more than willing to eventually form an emotional bond. While an aquarius may seem unmoved by romantic gestures, they do need a lot of emotional gratification. Do not be afraid to put your heart on your sleeve. Your gestures are not unappreciated, even if it seems that way at times. An aquarius will not give up their independence for anyone. Do not push your aquarius partner to do so, as this will only backfire. Respect the fact an aquarius needs a higher than average amount of alone time, and may not always consult with you on decisions. If you try to stifle an aquarius's individuality, they're likely to lose patience with you.  Never try to tell an aquarius what to do. If an aquarius asks you for advice, or expresses uncertainty about something, offer guidance without making specific suggestions. Avoid pressing an aquarius to give up independence. If you want to be with an aquarius, you need to accept the fact they will always have a strong sense of individuality. Do not be surprised if an aquarius retains their own interests, tastes, and friend circle throughout the course of a relationship. It can take an aquarius a long time to open up emotionally. Establishing intimacy with an aquarius may prove more challenging than doing so with other signs of the Zodiac. However, an aquarius has a strong sense of loyalty and a kind heart. If you are patient and understanding, an aquarius will eventually prove to be a kind and loyal partner.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Draw a line along the middle of the strip. Color the edge of the strip with a highlighter. Cut the Mobius strip along the central line you drew earlier. Cut the Mobius strip 1/3 of the way away from the edge.

Answer: Using a pen or pencil, start at any point in the middle of the strip and draw a line all the way around without lifting your pen. Eventually, the pen will end up back at the point you started drawing. You have drawn a line on both sides of the loop - but without lifting your pen or crossing any edge. How did this happen? The paper has only one side! Start at a different point in the Mobius strip and see if the same thing happens. Take a highlighter and start coloring the edge of the Mobius strip without lifting the highlighter from the strip. Continue with the marker until you reach the point at which you started. You'll find both edges are colored. This indicates that the Mobius strip has only one edge! With a pair of scissors, poke a hole into the middle of the Mobius strip and cut along the line until you reach the beginning cut. It does not, as you'd expect, fall apart into two separate loops; instead you now have a single, larger one-sided loop! Like you did cutting through the center line, take the scissors and this time, cut about 1/3 of the way from the edge of the strip. Continue cutting until you reach the original cut. When you have finished cutting, you should have one small ring and one larger ring that are connected together.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Demonstrate falling intonation at the end of a declarative sentence. Explain how intonation waves after a mid-sentence clause. Show students how intonation rises at the end of a question. Provide examples of subtle intonation cues that express meaning. Recite the same dialogue with enthusiastic and flat pitches.

Answer:
Explain that intonation usually falls at the end of a complete thought. The speaker lowers their pitch to indicate that they’ve finished making a declarative statement. Hum intonation for example sentences with a kazoo to make it easier for students to recognize changes in pitch.  A declarative sentence claims or asserts something. An imperative sentence gives a command, and intonation usually falls at the ends of these sentences, too. The other types of sentences are interrogative, which ask a question, and exclamatory, which declare something with excitement or emotion. Intonation usually rises at the ends of these sentences. Demonstrate how intonation waves, or falls and rises just slightly, to anticipate the statements that follow a clause or come next in a list. Provide examples such as independent clauses set off by commas, lists separated by serial commas, and phone numbers.  For example, recite, “He bought apples, oranges, and bananas.” Exaggerate how you inflect “apples” and “oranges” to anticipate the next word in the list, but lower your pitch on “bananas” to indicate you’ve completed your thought. A more complex example would be, “When you go to the store, which is on your way home from work, please buy apples, oranges, and bananas.” Intonation subtly waves at “store” and “work” to anticipate the sentence’s next clauses, and rises and falls when the fruits are listed. Note that some statements are straightforward, such as “How was your day?” or “Will you hold this for me?” However, a speaker might end a seemingly declarative statement with a rising tone to ask for clarification or make an exclamation.  For example, “I should go to the store” looks like a declarative sentence. However, a speaker might raise their pitch at “store,” as if to say, “Do you want me to go to the store?” Additionally, rising intonation can indicate shock, surprise, or confusion. Exclamations such as "I am so proud of you!" or "Get out of the way!" typically begin at a higher pitch than a speaker's normal speech. Intonation often rises suddenly at the end of the exclamation. Mention that speakers might end a question with a lower pitch to express dissatisfaction or sarcasm. Since these examples can be subtle, exaggerate your falling tone or use the kazoo to clearly mark the lower pitch.  An example could be, “Why did you do that,” as if to say, “I’m frustrated that you did that.” For ”What did they do now,” intonation might be lower and syllable length longer for “now,” which implies exasperation. Demonstrate how important intonation is by performing 2 versions of a sample dialogue with a student. Have them ask you questions, and respond with varied, enthusiastic intonation. Perform the dialogue again, and respond to their questions with flat, uninterested, or sarcastic intonation.  Suppose the first question is, “Are you going to the game?” Explain how saying “I am” with a rising intonation expresses excitement, while replying with a falling intonation can indicate disappointment or disinterest. Use your facial expressions and body language to clarify how different pitches communicate emotions.
