Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut your gold sequin fabric. Hot glue your gold sequin waistband to the leggings. Add accents, if desired.

Answer: This will form a decorative waistband that you'll attach to the leggings with hot glue. You can cut any pattern you desire into the sequin fabric, like wavy lines or straight lines, for example. You'll need the gold sequin fabric to be long enough to fit around the waistband of your leggings. Lay the leggings out flat on your work surface with the front side facing up. Apply a line of hot glue to the waistband of the leggings. Then:  Quickly press the front of your cut, gold sequin decorative waistband into place on top of it. Take care not to burn yourself on hot glue. Repeat this process on the reverse side of the leggings so that your gold sequin waistband wraps all the way around and is on top of the waistband of the leggings. If you find your pants to be a little plain, you can accent them in the same way you did to the top of the costume. You could use more circular, gold dot stickers, perhaps up and down the side of each leg. You might also want to use your glue to attach other decorations, like fake gemstones and more.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a form for the poem. Use sensory description. Include metaphor and simile. Avoid cliches. Use humor and wit.

Answer: Love poetry can be written in many different poetic forms. Some of the most popular include sonnet and free-verse. You can try writing a love haiku or an acrostic love poem. Pick a form that you feel suits the subject of the poem and your skills as a poet.   You may also choose a form based on whether you want the poem to rhyme or have a very rigid structure. For example, for a love poem for a romantic partner, you may go for a traditional sonnet form. Focus on smell, taste, touch, sound, and feel when you write the poem. Use your senses to describe your feelings for the subject of the poem. Tap into sensory detail to discuss a shared moment with the person. For example, you may describe the sound of the glasses clinking on the table at the romantic restaurant where your partner proposed. Metaphors and similes are a good way to add some creativity and detail to the love poem. Metaphors compare one thing to another thing. Similes are when you use “like” or “as” to compare one thing to another.   For example, you may use a metaphor like, “My partner is a fierce tiger.” You can also use a simile like, “My partner is as bright as a peacock on a cold winter day.” It can be easy to slip into cliches, especially when you are writing a love poem. Avoid phrases that are so familiar they have lost their meaning. If you feel as thought a phrase or sentence is too familiar, change it up and make it more particular to your perspective as a poet.  For example, rather than use a cliche like “My love is like a red rose,” you may write, “My love is like a hothouse orchid” or “a prickly cactus.” Make the poem light and funny to avoid being too sentimental or sappy. Try to include funny moments or lines that feel silly and fun. Keep the poem witty and humorous so the subject enjoys reading it. For example, you may include a line about how your partner makes funny faces when they are upset.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up your spreadsheet. Input market information. Calculate interday returns. Use the standard deviation function.

Answer: Calculating volatility is much simpler and faster in Excel than it is by hand. Start by opening Microsoft Excel on your computer and opening a blank worksheet. The next step is to import the closing prices for the stock you are measuring. Input the closing prices vertically in the A column, with the oldest price first and the most recent price at the bottom. For example, 21 days' worth of prices would go in cells A1-A21. Interday returns are simply the difference between the closing prices of consecutive days. The results of this calculation will go in the cells adjacent to the closing prices, in column B. Calculate these returns by entering the following formula in cell B2: =(A2/A1)-1. This will calculate the percent changes between day 1 and day 2 of your range. Then, drag the formula down the rest of your range to the last price. You should now have a list of interday returns in column B. To calculate volatility, all you have to do now is use the standard deviation function. In a nearby cell (it doesn't matter where, as long as it's empty) enter the following function: "=StdDev(". Then, fill in the parentheses with your interday return data from column B. For example, if your data is contained in cells B2 to B21, enter: =StdDev(B2:21). Remember to close the parentheses. Pressing enter on the cell containing this function will give you the volatility of the stock over your chosen time range.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check out a velvet choker. Put on some velvet ankle booties. Add a small velvet accessory, such as a headband or cuff bracelet. Find a top or bottom with velvet accents.

Answer:
You may have noticed that chokers are all the rage this season.  They come in all different widths, colors, and materials, but one of the most popular is the classic velvet choker.  These iconic ‘90s pieces look great out on the town at night, but they’re also doable in the daytime.  Pair them with a flowy daytime dress or slouchy sweater to look easygoing but also on-trend and put-together. A narrower width will be more subtle than broader versions.  You can even find chokers that mimic bolo ties or ribbons, creating a longer line that doesn’t read as such a bold choker-choice. Velvet ankle booties combine luxe sophistication with a retro rock n roll attitude.  And, since they’re a relatively small part of your ensemble, they can be a good way to ease into the velvet trend.  Pair them with some skinny jeans or boot-cut trousers to highlight the lush velvet while remaining casual and cool. You’ll find that most velvet booties have platforms or chunky heels, so you might want to look for a different velvet accessory if you’re uncomfortable with heels. Chokers might be the most popular velvet accessory, but they're not the only ones available.  In fact, you can find a wide variety of hair accessories and jewelry in velvet, such as headbands, retro scrunchies, cuff bracelets, and baseball caps.  Since these components are fairly small, you can incorporate them into almost any casual outfit without feeling like you're making a fashion statement. Don't forget about handbags!  Even though you might not wear them on your body in the same way that you wear a dress or a hat, they can constitute important and attention-grabbing elements of your ensemble.  Velvet clutches and backpacks are particularly in vogue at the moment, as well as small, cross-body purses and pocketbooks. If you want to incorporate some velvet into your outfit without committing to a whole piece, look for jackets, belts, or bottoms with some velvet accents.  A velvet trim on a dress or blouse, a velvet ribbon or stripe around the waist of a blazer, or velvet buttons on a jacket can all add flair to your ensemble while remaining subtle and casual.
