Remove the shirt carefully. Lie it flat on a rack to dry. Use a dryer to shrink it further (optional). Repeat if necessary."
article: You'll need a pot large enough for your shirt to float around in, so use the biggest pot you have. Fill it about 2/3 of the way--if you overfill it, water might seep out when you put the shirt in. Let the water get to a rolling boil. You can put white vinegar into the water if your shirt also needs to be cleaned. Pull your shirt inside out to prevent fading, and roll it into a loose ball. Be sure not to tie it into a knot--it will shrink unevenly! To prevent scalding, lower your shirt gently into the water using a pair of tongs. Don't just toss it in the water. Fabric coming in contact with the burner can start a fire. Let your shirt sit in the boiling water for at least five minutes. The longer you keep it in there, the more likely it is to shrink, but don't keep it in the water for more than half an hour. You'll risk damaging the fibers. Be sure that the entire shirt is immersed. Turn the heat off and use a pair of tongs to pull your shirt out. Do this carefully to avoid burning yourself. Hold the shirt over the pot until it stops dripping, then move it away. Let it cool for about five minutes or until it's cool enough to handle. Set up a drying rack and spread your shirt out on it to dry. The rack can be inside or outside, but an outside rack will usually dry faster. If you dry it outside, be sure to turn the shirt inside out to prevent the sun from fading it. Don't hang your shirt--it will stretch where the clothespins are attached. If you want, you can run your shirt through the dryer on the permanent press setting to shrink it even more. Be sure to check your shirt first--it may have already shrunk enough! Try your shirt on and see how it fits. If it's still not small enough, repeat the entire cycle again. You may need to do this 2-3 times depending on how much you want your shirt to shrink.

article: In order to cut a pipe successfully with a hacksaw, you need to secure it so it doesn't move while it is being cut. This can be done by having someone else hold it, by placing it in a vise, or by clamping it to a workbench.  If you are cutting a piece of galvanized pipe that is already installed, such as when removing old galvanized water pipes, you still need to make sure that the pipe is secure. Make sure it is strapped down or held tightly before cutting so that it doesn't shake uncontrollably when being cut. If you are cutting a long piece of new pipe, you should have the longer end supported. This will make holding the pipe still while you are cutting it easier and it will stop the pipe pieces from falling once the pipe is cut. Wrap a pipe strap around the pipe and screw the other end into a secure overhead joist or beam. For example, if you are cutting a short piece off the end of a long pipe you will need to support the longer end while you make the cut. If you do not have a motorized saw and you need to cut a piece of galvanized pipe, you can use a hacksaw. This tool will take a bit of time and effort to use, but it will get the job done eventually. A hack saw works better for cutting steel than other types of hand saws because it typically has small teeth that are designed for cutting metal. These teeth can gradually remove the hard steel as you push and pull them. A hand saw with large teeth designed for cutting wood would not work well for cutting galvanized pipe. Once the pipe is cut you will need to clean up the cut. When cutting with a hacksaw you will leave a lot of burrs of metal on the pipe. Get rid of them by using a metal file around the cut, making extra sure to clean up burrs that have developed on the inside edge of the cut. You can also use a reamer or coarse sandpaper to clean up the burrs on the edge of the cut.

Write an article based on this "Compare the price of the underlying stock to your strike price. Evaluate the time value of your option. Check your account balance. Instruct your broker to exercise the option. Verify the net result."
article:
When you exercise your option, you buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying stock at the price stated in the contract. If your options have value relative to the actual stock price, you are "in the money."  A call option allows you to buy stock at the stated strike price. You'll make money if the stock is trading at a higher price than your stock price, because you can buy shares at your lower strike price. You could then turn around and sell those shares at the actual price to make money. If you have put options, you have the right to sell stock at the strike price listed on your contract. You'll make money if you exercise your options when the stock is selling at a much lower price on the open market. You are essentially forcing someone to buy shares at a higher price. You can then buy more shares at the lower price, or simply pocket the difference. For example, if you own a call option for stock at the strike price of $50, and the stock is currently selling at $100, you are "in the money" because you can buy the stock for half the price it's actually trading for. Likewise, if you owned put options for stock at the strike price of $100, and it is currently selling at $50, you are "in the money" because you can force someone to buy the stock at twice the price it's currently trading for. If you have American-style options, you can exercise them at any time – you don't have to wait until the expiration date. Exercising an option well before the expiration date means losing potential value. However, waiting it out comes with a risk that the stock price won't move the way you've predicted.  For example, suppose you are in the money on call options that don't expire for 6 months. You could exercise them now and buy the stock at your strike price. However, if the stock continues to rise, you could potentially make more money by exercising the option later. Even with American-style options, most options aren't exercised until close to their expiration date. This gives options holders the opportunity to maximize the time value of their options. To exercise a put option, you must first own the underlying stock. If you're exercising a call option, on the other hand, you need the resources to purchase the underlying stock at the strike price. Your broker may have its own rules about how much money you need to have in your account to exercise your options. Call customer service or check the educational resources on your broker's website for specific rules. You can't trade options without a broker. If you have an online broker, you may not have to do anything more than click a button. Your broker will take several steps behind the scenes to exercise your options for you.  The process is somewhat complex, but in reality it typically only takes a few minutes. You don't have any sort of relationship with the investor who is assigned the options you exercise. In fact, you likely won't even know who they are. The process is done electronically by the relevant options clearing house. When your options have been exercised, your broker will deposit your profits (less fees and commissions) into your account. For a put option, you'll have a cash deposit. For a call option, you'll have shares in the underlying stock. Commissions and fees for the transaction will be deducted from your account. If you exercised a call option, the commissions and fees will come out of the cash in your account, not from selling the shares of stock you purchased through your options contracts.
