Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a parenthetical citation after a quote or reference. Write the author's name and page number for printed articles. Include shortened titles if you've cited multiple works by 1 author.

Answer: To avoid plagiarism, use in-text citations to attribute direct quotes, paraphrased text, or references to other authors' ideas. Usually, an in-text citation lists the source's author and the page number you've referenced in parentheses. In some cases, you may have to add more detail. The aim of an in-text citation is to point the reader to the full entry on your works cited page. When they see the in-text citation (Smith 24), they'll know to look for the full entry listed on your works cited page under the last name Smith. Place the period after the parenthetical citation instead of at the end of your text. Name the article's author, and include the page number if it's a printed article or a source that appears in both print and online. If there are 2 authors, list them alphabetically, then include the page number: (Jones and Smith 252). If there are 3 or more authors, write the first author then "et al.": (Jones, et al. 241). You only need to include the page number in parentheses if you've mentioned the author's name in your text, like this: "According to Hidalgo, a high-glycemic diet increases the risk of pancreatic disorders (12)." Skip the page number if the source doesn't have one, such as an article on a newspaper website. If your works cited page includes multiple sources by the same author, your in-text citations need to name the specific source. For the sake of brevity, just include the first few words of the title. For instance, abbreviate the title "Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity as Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer" by G. Eibl to (Eibl, "Diabetes Mellitus" 518). If you have 4 sources listed under the author Smith, the in-text citation (Smith 242) doesn't tell the reader which of the 4 Smith entries you've referenced.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a clear, plastic bag big enough to fit your potted plant. Place a damp towel in the bottom of the bag and put the plants on top. Tie the bag shut while trapping as much air as possible inside. Move the plants away from direct sunlight. Keep bigger plants in the bathtub.

Answer: The bag will trap moisture released by the plants. This moisture will then drip back down onto the plants, watering them. The bag must be clear in order to allow sunlight to pass through. The towel will help the plants retain moisture and prevent the soil from getting too dry. Only put as many plants on top of the towel as you can fit. The leaves should just barely be touching each other. If the leaves are getting cramped, get another bag. You can tie the bag shut with a rubber band or twist tie. For extra security, fold the tied part of the bag down, and wrap another rubber band around it. You can keep them indoors or outdoors, but make sure that they are out of direct sunlightpartial sunlight is fine, however. If you keep your plants in direct sunlight, they will get cooked due to the trapped heat. If the plants are too big to fit inside of a plastic bag, simply line your bathtub with a plastic sheet and several newspapers. Place the plants on top, water them until the newspapers get soaked, and close the shower curtains. Leave the light on, if you can.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Investigate the location of the stain. Cleanse oil based stains with a household detergent or ammonia. Eliminate mildew and algae with a heavy-duty cleaner. Erase organic stains with hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Use a stone poultice for metal stains. Buff out water spots and rings with 0000 steel wool as necessary.

Answer: This can provide useful information for what caused the stain. Certain stains will need special cleaning procedures to be removed from the stone. Note the color, size, shape, and pattern of the stain, along with anything in the area that might have caused it. Some common examples of oil based stains include grease, tar, or cosmetics. These will cause your tile to darken. To dissolve oil based stains, clean the area by gently wiping it with a soft cloth and a household detergent, like dish soap, or ammonia. Afterwards, dry the area with a soft towel. If detergent and ammonia fail to remove the stain, try mineral spirits or acetone. Use these sparingly and as a last resort. Flush these cleaners with water after applying, then dry the area. Mix a diluted cleaning solution containing a half cup (237 ml) of ammonia, bleach, or hydrogen peroxide with a gallon (3.8 L) of water. Clean the surface with the solution with a soft cloth, rinse the area well, then dry it with a soft cloth or towel. Never mix bleach and ammonia. Doing so will create toxic fumes that can result in serious harm or death. The most common kinds of organic stains come from bodily fluids, like urine or feces, tobacco, paper, and food. These may create a brown-pink stain. Clean these areas as you would normally with 12% hydrogen peroxide and a couple of drops of ammonia. In some cases, you may be able to get rid of an organic stain just by removing its source. After removal, wait a few days to see if the stain disappears. Hydrogen peroxide may fade or lighten the color of your stone. Test it on an out of sight location before you use it. Only use this technique occasionally to prevent color loss. Mix the poultice according to its directions. Usually this will result in a paste that is the consistency of peanut butter. Wet the stain with distilled water. Apply the paste to the stain so it is roughly to in (.64 to 1.3 cm) thick. The paste should extend beyond the stain by roughly an inch (2.5 cm). Tape plastic over the poultice, wait the time indicated on the label, then remove it according to its directions. For severe stains, you may have to reapply the poultice a few times before it is fully removed. Some stains may take five applications or more. Stain removing poultices can be purchased from your local hardware store or home center. Look for it among stone care products. Some kinds of poultice are sold as pre-made strips of treated paper. These are generally applied to stains similarly to paste poultices. Hard water can leave rings, a white film, or scale on your stone. When the stone is dry, buff the surface in a circular motion with a dry piece of 0000 rated steel wool. Wipe the surface with a clean, dry, soft cloth or rag after. Use light to moderate pressure when buffing your countertop. Too much pressure may harm the appearance of your stone.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice airbrushing on a separate piece of plastic. Wash your model car. Tape off special designs and decals. Set your model car on a wire hanger. Use a gray or off-white primer for your model car. Allow primer to completely dry before proceeding to the next step. Apply an airbrushed coat of paint onto your car. Allow the paint to dry.

Answer:
Read the user's manual for the airbrush that you are using. Once you've correctly hooked up your air brush, practice at different pressure levels to get a feeling for how the airbrush works. Use a cheap paint and airbrush on large pieces of butcher paper. Airbrushes typically cost anywhere from $25 to $300 and up. Remember to wear a protective mask and to lay out a tarp on your work area when using an airbrush. Use a mild dish detergent and cold water to wash the surface of your car. This should remove molding agents which could react poorly with your paint. Once your car is free of dirt and dust, allow it to air dry before airbrushing it. Because an airbrush paints a large area at a time, it's important that you tape off decals or designs that you want to paint in later. Once you've achieved the car has dried, you can remove the painter's tape and fill in finer details with a more precise tool like a brush. In order to quickly airbrush your car, it will need to be suspended in the air. Use a bent wire hanger as a base and stand for your model car, attaching the stand to the car from the inside. As an alternative, you can also find a stable and flat pillar to set your car on top of as you paint. Make sure to attach the car to the stand using masking tape. Connect the paint jar color that you want to use to your airbrush. Apply the first base coat with your airbrush by applying pressure to the actuator, or button on the top of the airbrush. Quickly move your hand left to right and apply mist coats at 25-30 PSI. Continue to rotate your model car as you apply more coats of paint. When you are nearing the end, lower the PSI on your airbrush to 18-20 PSI to apply the final one or two coats. Lowering the airbrush PSI will make the paint come out thicker. Do not let the thick paint run, or it may ruin your model. Be conservative on thick coats of paint. Remember to airbrush separate parts of your car, such as the hood, as you paint the car's body. Dry your car model for 24-48 hours before handling it. Keep the car in a cool area free of sunlight while it dries. Once it's totally dried, examine the car and look for areas that are not painted. Instead of airbrushing over the car again, fix small details with a brush and matching paint.
