Write an article based on this "Finish your homework. Watch TV. Play video games. Read a book. Crank up some music. Call a friend. Go to bed."
article: If your want to make the best use of your time, sit down with your textbooks, jotters and notes and give them your undivided attention. This is a good opportunity to work on any assignments you haven't completed, since you'll be able to study uninterrupted. Should you find yourself stuck, circle the problem and ask your parents or teacher about it the next time you have a chance. Be responsible and get your homework done before you begin enjoying other activities. That way, you'll have more time to play later. Kick your feet up and look for a funny program to enjoy. There's lots of new movies and shows waiting to be discovered on streaming apps like Netflix. Grab yourself some popcorn or candy and turn an ordinary viewing session into a home theater experience. You've finally got the tube all to yourself for once! Change the channel on anything too violent or spooky, or you may just end up scaring yourself. Getting absorbed in the voices and antics on the screen can keep you from feeling quite as isolated. Hook up a console and try to beat one of your favorite games, or find a new game on your computer or mobile device to get into. You could even play multiplayer games online with your friends. Use a gaming headset to talk to your friends while you play. It will be like having them there in the room with you. Staring at a screen for too long can be hard on your eyes. Take a break every now and then to have a snack or go on a walk through the house. Take advantage of this chance to catch up on your recreational reading. You can get lost in a book for hours, all while learning fascinating new things and strengthening your imagination. Not a bad way to spend a quiet evening alone! Prepare for your night at home by picking up some new books from the library. Listen to something upbeat that you can sing along to, or slow things down with some classical music to calm your nerves. Music makes a great companion, especially when you're alone in a big, empty, silent house. Try not to play your music so loud that you can't hear what's going on around you. Throw your own private dance party. No one else is around, so you can be as silly as you want! Have a conversation about your day, your plans for the weekend or what's been going on at school. Hearing a familiar voice can be comforting. It's also a good way to pass the timejust make sure you have permission to use the phone before dialing up someone you know. Answer incoming calls right away. It may be your parents trying to get in touch with you. If you're allowed to use the internet, you could also chat with your friends online. Never talk to strangers over the phone or internet. Falling asleep can be the hardest part of being at home by yourself. If you're having trouble getting to sleep, try reading a book, working a crossword puzzle or writing in your journal until you doze off. When you wake up, it will be daylight again and your loved ones will be on their way back. Leave a light on in the hallway if it makes you feel better. Don't stay up too late or you'll be tired the next morning.

Write an article based on this "Consult your style guide to create a works cited list. Identify primary citations. Use "Ibid." or "Ibid., [page number]." for immediate repeats after primary citations. Create secondary citations when sources repeat non-consecutively. Use "Ibid." when secondary citations immediately repeat."
article: Use the style guide assigned to you by your professor to format a works cited list for your essay. This citation list is typically its own page at the end of the essay. Here you will list all the sources you used to find quotes or other relevant materials presented in your work. Depending upon your style guide, a primary citation of a book from your list may look something like this: "Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8." Examples of common style guides include the Chicago Manual of Style, the Turabian Citation Guide, and the AMA Manual of Style. For now, don't treat sources repeated in the list any differently from one another. Simply focus on creating a proper citation for each work. Look over your list and notice which sources repeat often. Use a highlighter to mark the first time a citation for a specific work appears in your list. If a source only appears on your list once, you don't need to worry about using ibid, as there are no subsequent references. Look to the citation immediately after your primary citation. If it's the same, or the same other than the page number, choose the appropriate version of ibid to use. So if you have the citation "Mike Wilson, A History of Cats (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011), 8." and the citation immediately following is the same, you can change that second citation of the Wilson book to, "Ibid." If the citation following that primary citation of the Wilson book is to page 9 of the book instead of page 8, change the second citation to "Ibid., 9." Look for places where citations to the same source repeat, but with other citations in between them. In these cases, you'll create a secondary citation for the repeating instances. Depending on your chosen style guide, you'll write a secondary citation as something like the author's name, a comma, the page number, and then a period. Let's say an unrelated citation appears between a primary reference to page 8 of the Wilson book and a second identical reference to the Wilson book. The second citation would become, "Wilson, 8." Similarly, if the second citation to the Wilson book is on page 9 rather than page 8, the citation would become, "Wilson, 9." Creating a secondary citation is the same whether there is one unrelated citation between the two or several. Look over your works cited list for places where secondary citations repeat. Change repeat secondary citations to "Ibid." for clarity. So, for instance, your list might look like: [Smith book primary citation] Ibid. [for Smith primary] [Wilson book primary citation] [Smith book secondary citation] Ibid. [for Smith secondary] Ibid., 23. [for Smith secondary with different page noted]

Write an article based on this "Suck on the pistachio shell. Eat the nut. Discard the shells in a separate bowl."
article:
This step is optional, but many pistachio eaters love to absorb the salty exterior of the nut shell before they crack open the meat within. Put the whole pistachio into your mouth, and let your mouth absorb the salt. Remove from your mouth once the taste subsides. You can also suck on the shells after you have separated them from the nut. This way, you can simply spit out the shell out into the garbage once you've finished sucking it. Once you've removed the shell, the pistachio is ready to consume. You can eat the pistachio raw, or you can add it to a larger dish. The pistachio nut is relatively soft and oblong. The color should be some combination of green, brown, and purple. Do not worry if the nut skin appears blotchy and mottled this is normal!. Once you have shelled each pistachio, eat the nut and place the nutshell into a discard pile. This might be your hand, or a cup holder, or a separate bowl. If you scatter the shells back in with the unopened pistachios, they will get in the way when you try to eat more of the nuts.
