Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure the distance from the floor to the mark with a ruler. Print out a ruler for a more accurate makeshift measuring tool. Use an American dollar bill to measure the distance to the mark. Create a makeshift measuring tool with a piece of printer paper. Translate your shoe size into inches or centimeters.

Answer: Place one end of the ruler flat on the floor and position it so it's pressed vertically against the wall. Mark the top end of the ruler with a pencil. Then, move the ruler up so the bottom aligns with that pencil mark and mark the new top edge.  Repeat this process until you’ve reached the mark for your height. It may be easiest to keep track of each individual measurement on a separate sheet of paper so you can easily add them all together at the end. This is the simplest and most accurate way to measure your height without a measuring tape. There are a number of 12 in (30 cm) ruler templates that you can download online and print. Then, use the printed ruler just like a wooden or plastic ruler to measure the distance from the floor to your marked height.  Other than an actual ruler, this will provide the most accurate measurement of your height. There are also ruler apps that you can download to your phone if you don’t have a printer accessible. A dollar bill in the United States is 6.14 inches (15.6 cm) long and 2.61 inches (6.6 cm) tall. Press the bill flat against the wall and slide it down so one short edge of the bill is flat against the floor. Mark the top edge of the bill on the wall with a pencil. Move the bill up so the bottom edge is now flush with your original mark, then mark the new height.  Continue until you’ve reached the mark you made recording your height. You may need to use the height of the bill—2.61 inches (6.6 cm)—to measure the final few inches of your height. You can also fold the dollar bill in half to measure approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm), or in quarters for 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). A standard sheet of letter paper is 8.5 inches (22 cm) wide and 11 inches (28 cm) long. Use this sheet of paper to measure the distance between the ground and the mark you made by the crown of your head. Fold the paper in half or in quarters to create more precise measurements, which you can mark with a pencil to create a makeshift ruler. Make sure you’re using a standard sheet of printer paper. Other sizes of paper have different dimensions. If you know your shoe size, you can roughly translate that number into a measurement. Look up a sizing chart online to estimate the length of your foot based on your shoe size. Then, place your foot on a sheet of paper and mark the distance. Use this to measure the wall between the floor and your marked height.  For example, with European shoe sizing, size 35 is roughly 9 inches (23 cm) and 40 is 10 inches (25 cm). You could also cut a piece of string the size of your foot, then use the string to measure the distance from floor to marking.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Comb your hair. Repeat treatment one week later. Inspect hair. See a doctor. Clean your home and belongings.

Answer: Even if you do an overnight treatment, you must comb your (or the person with lice's) hair every night for three weeks to ensure there are no new lice. Use a specially designed lice comb. It should have metal teeth that are long and closely spaced to one another. Avoid using plastic combs or the free combs that come with lice shampoos. No head lice product currently available will kill all lice eggs. Treatments will kill lice that already have hatched, but eggs hatch at different times so new lice can be born after treatment. Within seven to 10 days, repeat your homemade treatment. Follow the same steps you used previously. This will help kill any newborn baby and adult lice. Using your comb, separate the hair into smaller pieces. Check each section for eggs. Look also for live or deceased insects. If you continue to find lice after your second treatment, consider trying a different alternative treatment or using a prescription from your doctor. Do not let lice go untreated in any case. While you should see the doctor immediately upon discovering lice, you might need a follow-up appointment. If you or your child’s lice does not improve within three weeks, visit your doctor. Also, if your child is itching her head and the skin breaks, she could get an infection. If you suspect this, seek medical treatment. There are many topical drugs available to treat head lice. Some are available over-the-counter (OTC) while others require a prescription. Lice may be resistant to some of these treatments, so you may have to try a different one if one is not effective. Make sure you speak with your doctor before using any of these treatments.  Permethrin 1% cream (OTC ) Malathion 0.5% lotion (Prescription only) Pyrethrin 0.33% shampoo (OTC) Benzyl alcohol 5% lotion (Prescription only) Spinosad 0.9% (Prescription only) Ivermectin 0.5% topical lotion (Prescription only) Lice cannot survive for long if they fall off a human because they cannot feed. In fact, they die within one to two days if they do not access human blood. Nevertheless, it is still good to clean your home and belongings to prevent reinfestation. Complete the following steps:  Machine wash all bed sheets and the affected person's clothing worn presently or two days prior to treatment. Set your machine to a hot water (130°F or 54.4°C) setting. Machine dry on high heat all washed items. Bring any dry-clean only clothing items to the cleaner. Place hairbrushes and combs in 130°F (54.4°C) water for five to 10 minutes. Vacuum all floors and furniture pieces. Particularly focus on areas where the affected person spent time. Avoid using fumigant sprays. These can be dangerous to humans.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait for the morning of the wedding for cake toppers. Hide imperfections with edible glitter. Arrange time sensitive features as late as possible. Decorate with flowers. Remember to decorate the cake platter. Cap the cake with a wedding topper.

Answer: To protect your decorations from damage during transport or from causing unnecessary strain on your frosting/fondant, you should wait to place the most of your decorations until the morning the wedding. Don't forget all of your cake decorating tools; you may have to touch up some spots in addition to adding finishing touches. Edible glitter is relatively inexpensive and can create a magical glow in your cake. This glow can camouflage small imperfections, like bumps that may have formed in your icing. A good example of this would be flowers, which can wilt if left out for too long. Place the clean, fresh flowers in a nice arrangement on the cake right before it is displayed to guests. This touch creates a simple but elegant wedding cake decoration. You'll want to be sure that the flowers you use for decorating your cake are pesticide-free and non-toxic flower. You can find these at a local florist or an organic garden, though you may want to inform the florist your purposes for the flowers. Inspect your flowers carefully before adding any to your cake. Small bugs will likely be attracted to the sugar in your frosting and can ruin its appearance. A barren platter can leave your cake looking unfinished. You might scatter flower petals at its base, or lace an elaborate ribbon around it. Fruit that matches the color theme of the wedding can also be heaped delicately around the bottom to good effect. This will depend on the bride and groom. They may want a traditional miniature man and woman in formal wear atop their cake, or they might want Han Solo and princess Leia. Place your cake topper and your cake is ready to be admired!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find large level stones. Stack stones. Build the stone pillar at least a few inches off the ground. Place a trashcan lid on top. Secure the lid with a large stone. Fill the lid with water.

Answer:
You will need to be able to stack these stones so that they will provide a sturdy base for your bath. Look for stones that are large and relatively flat. Take the stones you have found and stack them, one on top of the other. Try to arrange them so that they are level. It will be a bit like a puzzle, as you try to match the jutting edges in some rocks with the gaps in others. Birds sometimes use bowls lying directly on the ground as birdbaths. They prefer, however, for their birdbaths to be at least a few inches off the ground, but it is not absolutely necessary that they be very high up. Once the stones are relatively level, place a trashcan lid on top of them. You do need to pile the stones very high. Your priority should be creating a level surface for the lid.  The lid should be deep enough for you to fill it with 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) of water and wide enough that there is enough room for you to put a large stone in the center and still have space for birds to get inside. It is counterproductive to have more than 2 inches of water in a birdbath. Place a heavy stone in the center of the trashcan lid to hold it in place on top of the other stones. Be sure the stone is centered or it will throw the lid off balance. Once the lid is secure, fill it with water. The birds should show up in no time!
