INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a tape measure to measure the distance around the stomach, right around the belly button. Hold the tape measure parallel to the floor all the way around. Place the tape measure around the area at which you expect to tutu to be worn. Measure a band of 2-in (5-cm) elastic to match the distance around your stomach. Instead of black elastic, you could also use blue, green, silver, or gold. Choose elastic that is nice enough to wear without being covered by additional fabric. Use 2 to 3 yards (1.8 to 2.7 m) of 6-in (15-cm) tulle. Half the tulle should be green and the other half should be blue. If desired, you can also add in some black tulle. Cut the tulle into strips that are twice as long as the distance between your intended waistband and knees. Knot the tulle in a double layer over the elastic band. Cover the band completely. Alternate between green and blue tulle strips, weaving the occasional black strip in if desired. Fold each tulle strip in half and place it beneath the elastic band. Hold the fold just above the band and stuff the ends and the rest of the tulle into the loop made by the fold, crossing over the elastic band and pulling the entire length of tulle through the loop. This should secure the tulle strip onto the band. Use a needle and thread to hand stitch the ends of the elastic band together, forming a continuous circle. Use your fingers to gently "fluff" and position the tulle so that the tutu looks full.

SUMMARY: Measure around the wearer's stomach. Cut a band of black elastic. Cut out strips of tulle. Attach the tulle to the elastic. Stitch the elastic together.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It takes time to get over the loss of a relationship. Your ex was a significant part of your life, even if you didn't see them in person every day, and it may take a while to get used to life without them. Let yourself feel sad, and go easy on yourself if you're feeling less focused or productive than usual. Don't rush the grieving process. If you're worried about sitting around being downtrodden, pick a day on the calendar as your "deadline." Get out all the sadness or frustration, and choose to "move on" after this date. Try to identify one thing every day that makes you feel happy. It could be a small bird landing on your windowsill, or someone giving you a compliment. Consider writing these down in your journal a collection of these may help lead you toward healing. It's common to feel lonely and isolated after ending a long-distance relationship. Reach out to your loved ones for emotional support and a sympathetic ear. Your friends and family can help build up your self-esteem and take your mind off your ex. You can ask a friend, "I'm having trouble letting go of my relationship. I know you have been through this before. How did you get over the loss of your long-distance relationship?" Or you might find that you just want to spend time with people you enjoy and who make you happy and not discuss your ex. Remember that it's your choice. Breakups have been a source of artistic inspiration for thousands of years. You don't have to be a professional artist to appreciate the benefits of venting your feelings creatively. Writing, drawing, dance, and other forms of expression can help you channel your emotions constructively, and you might even pick up a new hobby along the way. If you find yourself feeling guilty about the breakup or wondering if you did the right thing, revisit your reasons for ending the relationship in the first place. After the relationship is over, it's easy to remember only the good times. Remind yourself that, while getting over your ex will be hard for a while, you made the right decision for your long-term happiness. If you struggle with regret frequently, make a list of all the ways breaking up has improved your life.

SUMMARY: Give yourself time to grieve. Lean on family and friends for support. Find creative ways to let your feelings out. Remind yourself why breaking up was necessary.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The easiest way to do this for Minecraft is by double-clicking the Minecraft launcher and waiting for it to update itself if necessary. For Java, open Internet Explorer, go to https://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp, click Agree and Continue, and follow any on-screen prompts. If nothing happens, your Java is up-to-date. Since most modern browsers don't support Java, using Internet Explorer is the best way to ensure you don't run into any errors. The Java Development Kit (JDK) is necessary both to run Tekkit's launch file and to use Minecraft Forge later: Open the JDK website Check the "Accept License Agreement" box in the "Java SE Development Kit 8u171" section. Click the jdk-8u171-windows-x64.exe link to the right of the "Windows x64" heading. Double-click the downloaded Java file, then follow the on-screen setup instructions. Go to https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/tekkit.552560 in your computer's web browser. It's a blue button in the lower-right side of the page. Right-click the Tekkit ZIP folder, click Extract All... in the resulting drop-down menu, and click Extract at the bottom of the pop-up window. You can change Tekkit's memory allocation by doing the following: Right-click the launch file. Click Edit in the drop-down menu. Review the "-Xmx[number]G -Xms[number]G" values: The first number refers to the maximum number of gigabytes of RAM your server will use. The second number refers to the minimum RAM your server will use. Lower or raise the numbers to reflect your computer's specifications if necessary. Double-click the launch file to do so. This will open a Command Prompt window in which Tekkit will begin running your server and unpacking its necessary files. You will have to click Allow access if prompted by Windows Firewall to allow the program. Once your Command Prompt window finishes loading information, you're free to proceed with the next part of the setup process. You can close the server by typing in stop and pressing Enter.

SUMMARY: Make sure that you have the latest version of both Minecraft and Java. Install the Java Development Kit if you don't have it. Open the Tekkit download page. Click Server Download. Extract the server folder. Change Tekkit's available RAM. Run the Tekkit installation. Wait for the Command Prompt window to stop loading information.
