Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put plastic sheets down on the floors. Hang plastic sheets on the walls and baseboards. Use a zip wall for the open doorway. Block off vents in the space with plastic. Depressurize the area with a fan. Keep dusty work outside as much as possible.

Answer: Lay down 6-mil polyethylene plastic sheets on the floor. Tape them down with masking tape, making sure there is a 6 inches (15 cm) overlap on the sheets. You can then put a layer of foam-board insulation to protect the floors from dust and debris. Plywood would also work well. Protect the walls from dust by hanging 6-mil polyethylene plastic sheets from the ceiling to the floor. Secure the plastic sheets with masking tape. Attach plastic sheets to the baseboards using painter’s tape.  You should also cover all closed doors with plastic sheets. You can then add a layer of plywood or foam-board insulation on the walls and doors to protect them from dust. A zip wall is a specially made plastic sheet that zips open and closed. Hang the zip wall over the doorway that will act as the entrance and exit. This way, you can zip the door open and closed as you come and go, preventing dust from entering the rest of the house. You should also place sticky mats by the doorway so the dust on your shoes can be contained on the mats and does not get in the rest of the house. If you have a heating or air conditioning unit that runs through vents in the room, block off the vents with plastic so dust does not get in. Use tape to secure the plastic over the vents. If there is a return vent in the space, you may have to shut off the system for one to two hours while the work is being done. This will prevent dust from circulating in the house. Place a small fan near a window at the far end of the work area and face it outward. Make sure the fan and window frame are sealed with plastic. Tape the plastic to the sides of the fan so just the blades are exposed. Then, leave the fan on during construction to draw air into the work area and prevent dust from drifting into other areas of your home. Do not place the fan by an open window so it can blow the dust outside. This can taint the air outside and blow dust onto your neighbors. Cut wood and sand drywall outside so the dust does not get indoors. Avoid doing these jobs indoors, as this can create more dust. When you cut wood or sand drywall, attach a dust-collecting vacuum to your power tools. This will help to minimize dust circulating as you work.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands with soap and water. Gently cleanse the area you are treating with soap and water. Clean your tweezers and a sharp needle with rubbing alcohol. Find good lighting and a magnifying glass. Pull out the fiberglass fiber(s) gently with the tweezers. Squeeze the skin after all the fiberglass is gone. Wash the area again with soap and water.

Answer: Most people have bacteria and germs on their skin. However, these germs can cause an infection if they get under the skin through the nicks made by the fiberglass splinters. If the fiberglass slivers are in your hand(s), skip this step. You do not want to push the slivers deeper into your skin. Fiberglass splinters have a tendency to break. You do not want them to break off below the skin or be pushed deeper into your skin. Cleanse the area by letting soapy water flow over it, but don't rub or scrub the area. You could force fibers deeper into your skin.  Pour water into any container, rub the soap in between your wet hands, and submerge your hands in the water. Repeat until the water is soapy. If your hands are the affected area, someone will have to do this for you. The same germs that are on your hands are on the skin around the fiberglass slivers.  Once you begin to move the slivers around trying to remove them, there is a risk of infection if the germs get under the skin. Look for fine-tipped tweezers to make grabbing the fibers easier. Bacteria is on every object we use. The alcohol destroys these germs so that you do not put them under the skin as you try to pull out the fiberglass splinters. Rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol kills germs by dissolving their outer protective coating; they fall apart and die. Increase your chances of success with removing the fiberglass splinters by working in a well-lit area. The thin fiberglass fibers are a white or light yellow color. They can be hard to see when they are in your skin. Focus on the tips of the fibers and grasp them, then pull them slowly away from your skin. Try not to push them in deeper. Use a needle if this happens or if the splinter is already completely under the skin.  Use a sewing needle that has been sterilized with rubbing alcohol to gently lift skin or break through skin if you can see the splinter just under the skin. Then you can use the tweezers to remove the fiberglass.  Do not become frustrated if it takes several attempts to get the splinters out. They can be small. If the tweezers and needle truly are not effective, try using the sticky tape method. The bleeding can help wash out germs.  This is another way to keep germs from getting under your skin. Pat the area dry. Apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. You do not have to cover the area you worked on with a bandage.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Tell someone to pick a number from 1-9 without telling you. Have them multiply their number on a calculator by "9," then by “12345679. Make them show you the results or pass you the calculator. Look at the number to determine what their original number was and tell them.

Answer: Explain to them that you are going to tell them what number they chose at the end. Put on an act that you are reading their mind while they are thinking of a number. This is a super easy math trick that is easy to figure out at the end, but it’s still fun to put on a show! ” Notice that there is no “8” in the second sequence of numbers. Make sure they multiply the number they chose by "9", then by “12345679,” with no “8” in order for the trick to work. Keep pretending you are reading the person’s mind while they perform the multiplication. Tell them you will divide what number they chose at the beginning from the result on the calculator. Have them hold the calculator to face you so you can see the number or hand it to you so you can look. If you have an audience, don’t let them see the result on the screen in order to create a more dramatic effect. Whatever number you see repeating on the screen is the number they chose at the beginning. There will only be a string of a single repeating number. For example, if they chose “1,” then the calculator will show “111111111.”


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Push the board out into deep water until the fin is clear of the bottom. Get a sense of the wind direction, and maneuver the board so that the sail is downwind of the board. Swim or walk to the upwind side and clamber onto the board - elegance is not required! Raise to your feet at a slow pace. Bend your knees slightly and pull the sail up from the water with the uphaul, hand over hand like hauling in a rope. Take hold of the mast with both hands and let it swing. Practice steering(called Center of Effort Steering) in the "safety" position. Start moving. Pull with the stern wards hand (the back hand) to accelerate - let it out to slow down. Relax!

Answer:
Stay on your knees and grab a hold of the uphaul, without pulling up the sail yet. Using a beginners board should mean you are pretty stable - rock back and forth on your feet to get a feel for it. Try to keep your back and body somewhat upright. If you feel your lower back starting to ache, you are bending over too much. This is called the "safety" or "control" position: total control with next to no power. With the mast straight up tilt the mast to your left. Your body should transfer this imbalance(the center of effort of the sail is not balanced with the center of lateral resistance of the board) to the board and make the board turn(or spin) clockwise. Tilt the mast to the right and the board will turn(or spin) counterclockwise(anticlockwise). The stronger the wind and the further you tilt the faster the board will turn(or spin). In a stiff breeze you may be sailing very slowly at this point. Another steering description is as you tilt the mast to the stern the board will head up in to the wind. This is also described in the turning section of this doc. Tilting the mast to the front makes the board bear off from the wind. Look and see which side the bow of the board is in relation to you, and place your lower hand on the boom so the mast is leading the sail towards the bow(front). When you feel ready, transfer the other hand to the boom. Don't let the sail pull you down - the mast should be perpendicular to the board, so lean back and keep the arms straight. This is called the Number 7, and that should indicate the posture to you! Keep your feet behind the mast foot, with the toes of the front foot facing forwards. If you need to stop, return to the safety position, or drop the boom if it is safe to do so. Make sure it goes in front of you, and bear in mind you will get very tired if you have to keep on picking it up!
