Article: You probably won’t see a lot of shooting stars in one night, so you have to be discerning in what you wish for. Think of things that you’ve always wanted: a million dollars, a house, a jumbo sized vanilla shake. It could be anything! Let your imagination run wild. If you’re having trouble deciding between wishes, write down a list of all of them and then choose a few through a process of elimination. Some believe that writing down your wishes on a post-it note helps it come true. Creative visualization helps you to better understand your wishes and goals. This is a manifestation technique that some think helps wishes to gain potency. If you believe in yourself and your dreams, they are more likely to come true. Instead of saying: “I wish I had a better job,” try phrasing it this way: “I am hardworking and intelligent and capable of getting a better job.” This language is positive, affirmative, and helps give your wish more weight. It’s impossible to control or change someone else. Imagine if someone else made a wish and asked for you to fall in love with them, or for you to be more beautiful or successful. These are elements that only you can control.  You can wish for things on other people’s behalf. For example, you can say, “I wish that Todd gets his second interview this next week.” It’s not useful to say something like: “I wish Todd had a nicer smile and also didn’t like watching football so much.”
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Think of all the things that you want to wish for. Write down your wish on paper. Write or say your wish as if it has already happened. Don’t wish to change another person.

Problem: Article: As a general rule, you should use 3 gallons (12 L) of water for every 1 lb (450 g) of fabric.  The water should be simmering hot when you pour it into the tub.  Glass and stainless steel will not be stained by the dye, but most plastics will become stained. If you are worried about staining the tub, consider lining it with plastic sheets before filling it with water. This works best if you are using a single tub. If you need to split the process up between two tubs, though, make sure that the amount of water and the amount of dye you add to each tub is exactly equal. Alternatively, you could use your washing machine to dye the curtains. To do so, begin by filling the washing machine basin with the hottest water possible. The rest of the process will essentially follow the same steps. There are differences between liquid and powder dyes, and there may even be further differences between dye brands. Check the instructions on your dye to determine the best way to prepare it.  Usually, you will need to prepare a bottle of liquid dye by vigorously shaking it for a minute or so. To prepare powder dye, fully dissolve one packet in 2 cups (500 ml) of very hot water. Dump your prepared dye into the filled basin or filled washing machine (whichever you decided to use). Use a paint stick or board to stir the dye in until you are certain that it has fully spread throughout the water. If the curtains are dry or cool to the touch, quickly soak them in a sink or separate tub filled with clean hot water. Hot water helps activate the dye. Your results will be as pure and even as possible if both the dye bath and the curtains are hot when you transfer the material to the dye. Place the curtains in the dye bath, submerging them completely beneath the water's surface. Allow them to sit in the hot dye for 5 minutes. Do not stir or agitate the curtains during this time. If you are using a washing machine, do not start any sort of washing cycle yet. After the first 5 minutes pass, add 1 cup (250 ml) of salt or white vinegar to the dye bath for every 3 gallons (12 L) of water. You should also add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of liquid washing detergent.  Salt and vinegar help intensify the dye color. Use salt with cotton, linen, ramie, and rayon. Use vinegar with silk, wool, and nylon. Liquid detergent allows the dye to move more freely throughout the water and into the fabric fibers. Once the additives are in the water, allow the curtains to soak in the dye bath for about two hours.  This amount of time is standard if you want to produce the intended shade; however, you can leave the curtains in for a shorter or longer time if you want a lighter or darker shade, respectively. Check the curtains periodically until you achieve the shade you want. Note, though, that the final shade will usually be a bit lighter than it appears when wet. Agitate the curtains continuously. If you are machine dyeing the curtains, set the machine on an agitate cycle and continue agitating the fabric the entire time. If you are dyeing the curtains in a tub, stir the fabric every few minutes using a large painting stick or board.
Summary: Fill a large tub with hot water. Prepare the dye. Mix in the dye. Soak the curtains. Place the curtains in the dye bath. Add salt or vinegar. Soak for several hours.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Attacks in Dark Souls are deliberate, slow, and usually cannot be canceled. This is true for both you and your opponent. The best time to strike is following a heavy attack that leaves your opponent open. Your attacks are also slow, so be conservative with your attacks, lest you leave yourself with an opening as well.  It may be advantageous to try and keep your distance for a bit and observe an enemy’s attack patterns to determine when there are openings. Always keep an eye on your stamina when attacking. Some attacks from particularly large enemies may break your guard. In these scenarios dodging is a superior option. Parries can be used once you have gained a sense for the timing of your opponent’s attacks for a critical strike.  Not all attacks (especially by bosses) can be parried. A missed parry will leave you open to attack. The risk is great, but so is the reward. Blocking is easier for beginners, but a well-timed dodge is a better way to get into a good striking position. Lock-on is a tool, not a requirement. Sometimes it can be advantageous, especially against larger enemies, to forego the target lock for better maneuverability and camera control. You can toggle target lock on and off as many times as necessary in the middle of a fight, but remember that target lock does have a range limit. Stray too far and you won’t be able to relock until you move in close again. Many of the enemies in Dark Souls will take extra damage from Fire or Lightning attacks. Often you will need to experiment to discover which enemies are weak to what if you don’t want to look them up. Using firebombs is a cheap and safe way to check for fire weakness.

SUMMARY: Time your attacks. Learn when to block, dodge, or parry. Learn when to use the target lock. Exploit elemental weaknesses.

The breathing is the same as in the previous exercise, but here we will perform the movement in 2 breaths.  Stay in exactly the same position as in the cat stretch. If your wrists are beginning to tire, relax for a few minutes and gently circle them round. As you exhale, lift the right hand and left knee off the floor, fully extending both out in opposite directions. Then exhale, and do the same on the other side. Repeat this six times in total - three times each side. Do not allow them to collapse taking the body out of line.
