Summarize the following:
A whitish tip is a surefire indication that the marker has run out of ink. Also, if the marker makes a squeaky noise while you’re drawing or coloring, it needs to be refilled. If your marker strokes are showing up as streaky or inconsistent, you may be running out of ink. Compare strokes made by a newer or recently refilled marker to determine if the quality of the color has declined. If you’ve had your Copic markers for 3 years or longer and haven’t refilled them, it’s time to do so. Copic markers have a 3-year shelf life, meaning the ink may evaporate after 3 years, leading to inconsistent coloring.

summary: Identify a white tip or squeaky sounds. Look for streaky ink and inconsistent coloring. Refill the markers after 3 years.

Start by watching the film from start to finish without taking notes or planning out the music. Just take in the plot and allow yourself to have a natural emotional reaction to it. Let the film marinate in your memory for a day or so after watching it. Every now and then, think about the way a character or scene made you feel to get your creative juices flowing. As you watch, take notes on the film's overall tone, characters, key scenes, and scene changes. You should start to get a feel for your score's framework after at least 5 to 10 viewings. However, the right number of times depends on your creative process and the film's length and complexity.  Composing a score is all about framing the film's story, so pay attention to how the plot unfolds. For instance, the story may develop in a straightforward, step-by-step manner. In some films, on the other hand, the action jumps around and the plot unfolds through flashbacks and other non-linear devices. When you watch the film subsequent times, note cues such as character introductions, scene changes, and dramatic moments. Write down the cue’s start time, a brief description, what feeling the music should convey, and when the cue ends.  For instance, note that a chase scene starts at 24:15, its music needs to be fast-paced and exciting, and it transitions to another cue at 26:32. When the audience first meets a main character at 5:24, note that you should introduce their musical theme. You can either take detailed notes by hand or watch the film on a digital audio workstation (DAW) computer program and type in markers directly into the file while you watch. After watching the film several times, review your notes and start coming up with ideas for your cues. Determine approximately how long the cue is, then figure out a suitable tempo for the scene. Once you’ve set the tempo for a cue, hum, whistle, or play tunes on your instrument or audio program to brainstorm melodies. During the spotting process, watch the film with the director at least once. Discuss their goals for specific moments and the score at large. Ask about instrumentation, styles of music, and how they imagine the score framing the story.  Get the filmmaker’s input at the start of the process, and ask for feedback as you compose the score. Aim to meet their expectations, but trust your gut and keep in mind they’re hiring you for your expertise. Depending on the scale of the project, you may also meet with a music supervisor, sound editor, or other managing members of the crew.

summary: Watch the film straight through to get a feel for the plot. Rewatch the film several times after your first viewing. Note the start mark, desired effect, and end mark of each cue. Brainstorm tempos, instruments, and other qualities for your cues. Talk to the filmmaker about their goals for the score.

Keep taking turns in a circle until you remove every Funatomy piece from Cavity Sam. If your group is having trouble with a particular last piece, try making the time limit a little longer or add money to the reward. The winner is not necessarily the person who performed the most surgeries, but the one who earned the most throughout the game. If two players have earned the same amount, you can declare a tie, recount, or have a rematch to determine the overall champion. When you're playing on your own, you may not be able to determine a winner but you can always improve your personal best. Time yourself while playing the game and see if you can make your fastest time yet. If you finished in 15 minutes your first time, for example, try going for 12 or even 10 minutes next time! Anchor the tweezers into the board by pressing down on their front and sliding them into the tweezer compartment. Place all of the Funatomy pieces in the separate compartment underneath the game board. If you lose a board game piece and need a replacement, try contacting Hasbro for assistance: https://www.hasbro.com/en-us/customer-service/replacement-parts
summary: Finish the game when all of the cards have been completed. Count up all of the players' money to determine a winner. Try to beat your personal record if playing by yourself. Store your game and its pieces when you're finished playing.
