Problem: Article: You must wait until the thin-set mortar has cured completely before applying grout, which based on your brand, the consistency to which you mixed, the temperature, and the humidity can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. Since the spaces between the tiles allow air to escape as the mortar sets, it is imperative not to grout until the process is complete. After you have removed the spacers and any leveling system pegs, you can apply the grout. You’ll mix the grout with water into a thick paste and apply it with a grout float, which allows you both to push grout into the joints and even it as you go. Because travertine is a porous tile and can stain, you should use white grout with travertine. Since grout begins to set quickly, work on small sections at a time and use a damp sponge to clear any excess grout on the tiles. The amount of tile to let the grout dry will depend on the brand, but it will be clearly marked on the packaging. To extend the life of your new travertine floor or backsplash, you should apply a sealant to it. Though most sealants require waiting at least two weeks before application. For more information on that process, visit Seal Travertine.
Summary: Wait for the thin-set mortar to cure. Apply grout. Remove excess grout with a damp sponge. Use a travertine sealer.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may be surprised by how often you drive to locations that can be easily reached on foot. Even those tricky shopping excursions can be made walkable if your store is close to your house and you have a cart or wagon to hold your groceries.  Walking is excellent exercise, so think of your walks as making both you and the earth healthier. If you’re walking to work, you may need to wear sneakers and pack your work shoes in your bag. You probably won’t be the only one rocking the beat-up sneakers and pantsuit look in the morning, so don’t worry about looking unprofessional. If you have good weather, safe terrain, and feasible distances, cycle to your destinations. Even more so than walking, biking is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise. You can even use your bike to combine your commute with your trip to the gym!  Drive the route first to make sure that it is safe for biking. Additionally, cycling comes with its own rules of the road, so learn the protocol before heading out. If you’re cycling to work, make arrangements to shower or freshen up once you arrive. Keep a spare set of dry, clean clothes in your office for emergencies. Not all cities and towns have public transportation options. If yours does, commit to using it. It may not always be fun taking the often-crowded bus or underground, but mass transit is a great and eco-friendly alternative to driving.  You may be able to increase your positive outlook toward mass transportation by considering the benefits. A train ride may give you a quiet hour to catch up on your pleasure reading or finish your presentation before work starts. If you live in a rural area that doesn’t have public transportation options, approach your local government with the possibility of adding a bus route from popular residential neighborhoods to your town’s main shopping areas. If the proposal receives support from a majority of residents, it may become a reality! The process of decreasing your vehicle dependence can be a team effort. Carpooling may be your best option especially if you live in an area without good public transportation options. If you, your family, friends, and/or co-workers frequently visit the same places together, there’s no reason not to travel in groups and take turns driving. If you’re struggling to find fellow commuters to carpool with, try apps designed for that purpose. Carma and Ride both match commuters for carpools. If you’re looking for alternative means to travel longer distances than a few miles, consider purchasing a motorcycle or a scooter. These vehicles use less gas than cars, and they provide a great and fun way to limit your carbon footprint.  Before you ride your new vehicle in traffic, be sure you’ve practiced and are prepared to go out on the road safely. Some states will require you to have a different license or registration for this type of vehicle. Make sure you’re adhering to local and state laws before you ride.

SUMMARY: Walk to local destinations. Ride a bike for long distances. Rely on mass transportation. Set up a carpool with your friends, co-workers, or family members. Invest in a motorcycle or scooter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you’re certain that you want to break up, it’s best to get it over with as soon as possible. Don’t drag a dying relationship out unnecessarily. Getting the difficult conversation out of the way will put you on the path to recovery faster and save your partner from getting more invested in the relationship than they already are.  Don’t spring “the talk” on your partner without any warning. Say something like, “I need to talk to you about something important. Can we meet up tomorrow evening?” Do not break up via phone, text, or email unless you are concerned for your safety. Breaking up in person is much more considerate and respectful to your partner. Write out a list of all the points you want to cover if you’re afraid of forgetting something. Ask a trusted friend to role-play the breakup with you so you can rehearse what you want to say out loud. Breakups usually bring intense emotions to the surface for both people. Your boyfriend or girlfriend may get angry, cry, or try to talk you out of breaking up. Decide ahead of time how you will handle each of these responses, and practice staying firm in the face of these reactions while role-playing with your friend. Throughout the conversation, frame things in terms of how you feel and what you need. Avoid blaming your boyfriend or girlfriend for the breakup. This will take some of the sting out of your message and make it harder for them to argue with you. For instance, don’t say, “You don’t make me a priority in your life.” Instead, try saying something like, “I need a partner who makes time for me, and I don’t feel like you do that.” Your boyfriend or girlfriend will probably feel confused and hurt when you tell them you want to break up, and empty platitudes will only add insult to injury. Respect your partner’s feelings and their need for answers, and be straightforward about your reasons for ending the relationship. Resist the temptation to express your sorrow with a cliché like “It’s not you, it’s me” or something similar. Just say what you mean as directly as possible. Your boyfriend or girlfriend will probably have some questions for you, especially if they didn’t see the breakup coming. Don’t lie about anything just to preserve their feelings, but put an optimistic spin on the breakup if you can.  Studies have found that breakups are least painful when the person ending the relationship is kind, honest, and positive about the time they have spent with the other person.  Emphasize ways the breakup benefits both of you. For instance, you might tell your partner, "I think I would be happier if I dated someone whose personality is more compatible with my own."
Summary: Schedule a time to talk. Prepare for what you’ll say. Use “I” statements. Avoid clichés. Answer any questions honestly, but gently.
