Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get reliable squirt guns. Consider a pump squirt gun. Choose based on the gun's reservoir.

Answer: There's nothing that will interrupt the fun quite as quickly as a dud squirt gun. Accordingly, avoid the cheapest squirt guns, as they tend to break (not to mention leak). You don't need to get the fanciest guns on the market, but look for options that feel solid to the touch and have triggers that are easy to pull. If you do go the dollar store route, be sure to get extra in case a few don't work out. Generic options from large retailers are often just as good a name-brand options. Depending on the age of your children and the specific activity you have planned, squirt guns that fire by way of a pump instead of trigger may be preferable. For instance, young children may struggle with a trigger, but be able to pump a small squirt gun. Whether trigger or pump-powered, simple pistol-style guns will be sufficient for most projects. The reservoir that will hold the liquid paint is important for two reasons. First, how much paint do you want to equip each child with? Second, the reservoir closure is a good indication of the quality of the gun. Smaller reservoirs, of course, will be better for stationary art projects, in part because the guns will be lighter and easier for children to aim. Be sure to check the seal on the reservoir's closure. Cheap plastic plug closures are unreliable, and indicate that the toy is low quality in general. That said, these may work fine for a one-time project or party, especially if you get extra.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Good lighting is key. Have a clear background. Find a good frame. Use the Rule of Thirds.

Answer: No matter what is in the background, you actual image will look great with soft lighting. Soft lighting is where shadow transitions are soft, where there aren't strong shadows on your face or objects around you. Think about a candlelit room or mood lighting for a romantic dinner, where warm soft light is found all around you. The best places to find soft light are in open shade, where the light isn't shining directly on you. This could be on the side of a building or house. Up lighting, or hard light, can be harsh and highlight undesirable features like wrinkles and baggy eyes. If possible, try not to have anything directly behind you so you remain the focus of the photo. Solid colors or simple wall patterns are ideal, but make sure you stand out against them. If you are at a party, step away from the crowd and snap your photo. Go it alone because it is your profile picture so it should be all about you. If you are in a group photo, try to place yourself in the center. The world is filled with natural frames such as alleyways, mountain ranges, trees, doorways, even people! Put these objects around the edge of the photo so you become the main subject. This will make you the main point of interest. Divide your image into 9 equal sections by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. Position yourself and or other important images in your scene along these lines or the intersections. This will add balance and interest to your photo. If you are taking a picture with a object or monument, this is an aesthetically pleasing rule to use. Symmetry is very eye catching.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lather the gum in peanut butter. Allow the peanut butter to sit for about one minute. Scrape the gum off using a tool with a hard, thin surface such as a paint scraper. Wash the clothing immediately after using this method.

Answer: Be sure to coat the gum entirely on all sides. The oil in the peanut butter should loosen the gum's grip on your clothes. You want to give it enough time to loosen the gum without allowing it to stain your clothing too deeply. While the oil in the peanut butter is what loosens the gum, it can also stain your clothing. Be sure to use a stain remover or heavy laundry detergent and wash right after use.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take regular short breaks. Be careful with caffeine. Try working on homework with other people. Give yourself a treat when you're done.

Answer:
Instead of one super long break, take a few short breaks in between different assignments. Maybe have a five minute break for a snack after 30-60 minutes of work. Take five minutes to stretch, pop outside for a walk, or do something active, instead of just sitting and checking Facebook. It's important to make sure that you aren't sitting at a desk for hours and hours at a time. When you don't take breaks, the work can seem kind of endless. Productivity and concentration suffer, because you end up wasting some time doing other things like going on social media, doodling, or just doing poor work. Caffeine gives some students a much-needed jolt of concentration juice. For others, it's a fast-track to jittering around like a squirrel on speed. Don't drink more than the normal amount of coffee or caffeinated drink you usually consume. It will make concentrating harder. Better than caffeine is just staying hydrated. Drink water or juice instead to make sure your brain is functioning on all levels. It can be kind of hard to focus if you're alone in a tiny room with just your books and papers. Sometimes it can be helpful to work out in the open where there are other people, or to study in a big group. They can be helpful in keeping you accountable. If you say that you're working on an essay and they see you browsing Tumblr, they can point it out and keep you in check. As long as you're not sharing answers, working on homework together isn't cheating. Really, it's just smart time management and study skills. It's important to give yourself a reward for the hard work you're doing, each time you finish a task. Working toward a fun activity, treat, or some leisure time helps to motivate you to finish your work quickly, which means you'll have to concentrate. Try this: Cut some colored paper into strips or squares and write all of your assignments you have for that day. Put these in one pile. Create another pile with an equal number of rewards. Put checking your phone or Facebook page on one, playing a game for 10 minutes, watching the new episode on TV, or anything that you want to do or would do in your free time. When you finish one task, pick a treat from the pile of rewards. This is a great way to get work done and enjoy the things you like to do. Don't get too carried away with the rewards. Only one episode TV, not the rest of the season.
