Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove the skin of the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into small pieces. Blend the pineapple chunks. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Mix in the sugar. Bring the pectin and water to a boil in a saucepan. Combine the pectin and the pineapple mixture.

Answer: Before cutting into the pineapple, give it a rinse in the sink. Then, Peel a Pineapple by laying it on its side and cutting off the top and the very bottom. Set the pineapple upright and slice off the outside skin in strips. Slice the pineapple into small, 1 inch cubes. You don't have to be precise, as you will be blending the pineapple. Just make sure that the pieces are small enough to put in a food processor or blender. Cut out any little knots or seeds that you may come across while cutting the pineapple. Drop the pineapple pieces into a blender or food processor. Blend until the pineapple reaches a smooth, somewhat pulpy consistency. Remove any seeds or rough pieces from the mixture. Wash the two lemons and cut them in half. Either in a lemon juicer or by hand, squeeze the lemon juice into the pineapple mixture. Stir with a spoon. Pour the five cups of sugar into the pineapple mixture. Stir thoroughly so that the sugar is fully incorporated into the pineapple and dissolves. Let the mixture sit for fifteen minutes or so. Combine one packet of pectin and one cup (240 ml) of water in a small saucepan, then bring the mixture to a boil on medium heat. Boil for one minute, then remove the saucepan from the stove. Pectin is a fruit extract that helps to thicken and bind jams and jellies. Different varieties of pectin sometimes call for different amounts of water to be added. Check and follow the instructions on your packet if you are supposed to use a different amount of water than one cup. Pour the pectin into the pineapple mixture and stir for one minute. You should notice that the mixture has thickened considerably and has a more jam-like texture than before. The jam is now ready to be canned or to be eaten once it has cooled down!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Figure out the age of the stamp. Determine the stamp's country of origin. Identify the stamp with a reference book. Determine the rarity of the stamp. Keep an eye out for error stamps.

Answer: Easier said than done! You may be able to determine the age based on clues in the design. Look for historical events or figures, or try to pick out words on the stamp. Exact years are not typically printed on stamps, so it can be quite difficult figure out exactly how old your stamp is. Head to an expert stamp dealer if you need extra help. The older the stamp is, the more valuable it will be--so it's worth the extra effort! Stamps printed within the last 70 years, even those in mint condition, probably won't be valued any higher than they were originally. As with the stamp's age, look for historical figures or events on the stamp, or words--knowing the language can help you narrow down the country. A picture of Queen Victoria, for example, is probably from 19th-early 20th century Great Britain, while a picture of the Hoover Dam may be mid-century American. Depending on your stamp, it might be easier to identify it before you try to determine the age and country of origin. After you've looked over the stamp's physical condition, you'll know enough about it to be able to find it in a reference book. American stamp collectors often use the Scott Specialized Catalogue (now available in an e-book format as well), while British philatelists tend to use the Stanley Gibbons catalogue. Check out your local library to see what options you have. You can try looking at online resources and catalogues as well, but do so with a grain of salt. They may not be as accredited or accurate as reference books. The stamp's rarity will depend on its age and quantity in its initial print run. The rarer the stamp, the higher the value; some stamp collectors even say that rarity is the single most important factor in determining stamp value, more than condition or age. Check in reference books or with a professional dealer to figure out the initial print run of your stamp. An old stamp won't necessarily be rare and valuable. The 1861 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamps, for example, aren't very valuable because about 150 million of them were produced. Though in general you want your stamp to be as perfect as possible, error stamps are an exception. These rare stamps have an error in the design rather than the centering, perforations, etc. Error stamps are extremely valuable because of their scarcity; there may only be 50 or 100 of them in existence. Valuable stamp errors include design errors, such as a map showing the wrong border; an omission error, such as Thatcher Ferry bridge stamps in which the bridge itself was missing in the design; or an inversion, like the American Inverted Jenny stamps, which printed a biplane upside down.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand documents in an adoption dossier need further review. Know what documents you need. Decide whether to compile the dossier yourself or hire someone.

Answer: Before completing your adoption dossier, you'll have already compiled a variety of documents for other parts of the adoption process. Most of these documents will go into your dossier. However, these documents cannot simply be thrown in an adoption dossier. They all need to be notarized, certified, apostilled, and authenticated. To get a document notarized and then certified, you need a Notary Public. Notary Publics are officials appointed by the state to serve as impartial witnesses to a variety of acts in order to prevent fraud. You can contact a Notary Public through the state department and have them notarize your documents and certify they are not fraudulent. Make sure you know when their term expires. You need someone whose term lasts at least a year. You will then need your documents reviewed by the governmental body that registered the Notary. An apostille is a seal said government body puts on a document to confirm that your Notary's signature and license are valid. Once a government official has looked at the Notary's signature and the apostille seal, they will attach a piece of paper to your document with their authorization and signature. This means your documents are notarized, certified, apostilled, and authenticated. They are ready to go into your dossier. Dossier requirements vary from agency to agency and state to sate. However, most dossiers should include the following: Health information about the adoptive parents Financial information Adoption petition and post placement agreement from your adoption agency Copies of birth certificates and marriage licenses (single parents only need their birth certificates) Any forms related to confirming your citizenship Employment verification Certificates regarding a completed home study Criminal background check results Copy of your most recent Federal Tax Return Copies of your passport Photographs of your family, friends, pets, and house Compiling an adoption dossier is a stressful process. Small mistakes can result in the delay of an adoption, and many parents would prefer to hire a professional. Hiring someone to complete a dossier for you can cost $800 to $1,000. Many companies specialize in compiling dossiers for prospective adoptive parents. Your adoption agency should be able to recommend a company for you. While you can compile a dossier yourself, many parents feel overwhelmed by the prospect of assuring they have proper documentation and authorization. Easily overlooked mistakes can translate to major issues in regards to successfully completing the adoption process. However, if you feel confident in your organizational skills you might want to save your money as adoption fees are already expensive.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Text like you mean it. Rely heavily on humor. Use your words.

Answer:
Your genuine interest in another person is the most attractive and meaningful message you could possibly send. Don't play games by being intentionally vague. Read all of your texts to yourself before sending them. Ask yourself if it'd be a text you'd be happy to receive. If the person knows you're interested, and they've reciprocated their interest in you as well, you don't have to say much to get them smiling. Try, "Thinking of you." If you're feeling more direct, go with "Wish you were here." This is more forward, as it explicitly indicates your desire to be in someone's company. It also adds an element of intrigue if the recipient doesn't know what you're up to, so you'll get their imagination whirring. Know that we're all in this together. That includes whomever you're texting. Just relax and be yourself - be simple, be honest, be true. It's always best to shoot for a smile, and even better if you can get your crush laughing. Be casual. Don't overthink it. Remember, we're talking about texting. Be a cheeseball. Quote something ridiculously melodramatic or throw a ridiculously cheesy pick up line out there. There's nothing like a bit of Shakespeare or Thoreau. Emerson once declared, "Thou art to me a delicious torment." Steal lines like this (and credit them to the appropriate authors for added drama). There are some officially bad pick-up lines that will almost should never work, and that's the point which means they somehow work. Making light of your affection for someone can be a great way to convey interest casually. There are some classics, but you probably already have a go-to in mind. Don't abbreviate everything. It can be misleading, confusing, and may even seem a bit childish. You can get away with "lol" it's practically a part of the English language but don't send acronyms or abbreviations your recipient might not familiar with it. If you're interested in them, the least you can do is thumb out complete words. Relatedly, be aware that emoticons should not completely take the place of words. Cap your emoji-use. There is definitely, definitely such a thing as too many emoticons. Personal preference is a legitimate argument here, but don't forget to occasionally mention that you're interested in having a genuine conversation if they would too. Comedy is the only realm in which it is appropriate to overuse emoticons. In particular, feel free to indulge in storytelling with emoticons. If you can wind together a solid, ideally humorous narrative using only tiny 2D images, by all means, emoji-away. Even emoticons are getting raunchy these days. Hold off on the emoji innuendos until you have an appropriate relationship with someone who might appreciate your smiley face based sultriness.
