INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Boiling water will only freeze instantly if it is colder than 30F (34C). Look up the weather on your local news station or by searching online. Keep in mind that exposure to temperatures this low can be dangerous and you'll need to wear a thick coat, pants, and a hat to protect yourself. You will need to be able to toss the water in the air, so don't use more than 2 litres (0.53USgal) of water. Pour your water into a pot and heat it on your stovetop at the highest temperature. Wait a few minutes for the water to boil. Never use the stove without the supervision of an adult. You may want to enlist a friend or parent to open the door for you so that you can get outside quickly. If the water stops boiling before you get outside, this may not work. Be sure to walk carefully with the boiling pot as it is going to be incredibly hot and you don't want to spill. Hold the handle of the pot with two hands. This will help you steady the pot as you walk and will prevent dangerous spills. Let your arms down a little, then toss the pot upwards and away from you while still holding on to it. You do not want the water coming back to hit you, so be careful about doing this when it's windy. If the temperature is cold enough and the water is still boiling, you will see the water turn into snow in mid-air. The snow that you create this way is real snow! You won't generate much snow with your boiling water, but it is a neat trick and you may even be able to scoop together a small snowball.

SUMMARY: Check the weather conditions to see if the water will freeze. Boil a pot of tap water on the stovetop. Hold the pot in both hands with oven mitts and carry it outside. Toss your pot of water into the air to create instant snow. Make a snowball if you can create enough snow.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to develop basic penmanship skills, you should begin by learning how to hold your pen properly. Comfort is obviously the most important element when it comes to holding a pen or pencil, but you should also make sure that you are evenly distributing the pressure. For example, try and balance your pen evenly between your thumb, pointer, and middle finger. This will help you avoid cramping when you write and will give you the most control over your lettering. Hold the pen close to the tip for better grip and control. In order to create a unique and personal penmanship, you should also find a pen or writing utensil that is comfortable to you. Pens can come in a variety of different types, most commonly ballpoint and gel, and you may find that you prefer one over the other. Consider the comfort level of the pen, thickness of the ink, and level of control you have while writing when testing out new pens. In order to create your own writing style, you will want to start by analyzing your current handwriting and looking for any areas or things that you would like to change. Try copying out a few paragraphs of text from a book or the internet in order to see any patterns in your writing that may emerge. Once you have analyzed the lettering, try writing the same passage again and this time concentrate to correct or change some of the things you didn't like about the initial writing. Pay specific attention to the following features of your handwriting: Spacing Slant Style Height of letters Consistent baseline for letters Dotting your i's
Summary: Learn to hold your pen comfortably. Experiment with different writing utensils. Analyze your handwriting.

If you are under the age of 24 and your parents live in a different state, you have to be able to prove that you aren't dependent on them in any way for your support. Typically, you must also be able to prove that your parents are no longer claiming you as a dependent on their taxes. Generally, you are considered a dependent if your parents or legal guardians provide at least 50 percent of your financial support. Even if you have your own place, this would include things like paying your rent or other bills. You won't be considered a dependent if you are still on your parent's health insurance, provided they provide little other financial support. If you're over the age of 24, you typically don't have to prove your financial independence. However, some students under the age of 24 are also exempted from proving financial independence. There are exceptions if you: Are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces; Are married; or Have legal dependents yourself, such as children. You also don't have to prove you aren't a dependent if both of your parents are deceased or if you're a ward of the court. If you have to prove financial independence to claim residency in a state, you'll need official documents that show your income and ability to pay your own bills. Acceptable documents include: Tax returns; Bank statements; or W-2 forms. Some states will still allow you to claim in-state status even if you receive financial aid for school. However, any financial aid or loans you receive must be in your name alone.

One-sentence summary -- Show that you are not dependent on your parents. Review the exceptions for demonstrating financial independence. Gather documents to prove you pay your own bills. Limit using loans or other financial aid to subsidize your expenses.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although a good pitch requires your whole body to work fluidly, you can train specific parts with particular drills. A good drill to do that focuses on your arm action during a pitch are knee throwing drills. If you are right hander, kneel down on your right knee and pitch the ball to a friend from this position. For lefties do the opposite side. A stiff wrist is an important part of what it takes to throw a good forkball, but this can be a tricky thing to practice on its own. A good way to focus on the wrist is to hold up your pitching arm so it is bent at the elbow and the forearm is vertical. Hold it just below the wrist with your glove hand. Keeping your arm in this position, practice throwing the ball with just your wrist and fingers. To try to put it all together, you can practice pitching against a wall. If you mark a target to aim for you will be able to see how much you are managing to get your pitch to bottom out late on. If you have the equipment, you can film your practice pitches to observe in slow motion how your action looks and what sort of movement is being produced on the ball. If you are struggling with balance, practice holding your balance position, with your front leg raised and your pitching arm back, for a few seconds before pitching. Probably the most fun way to do any pitching drill is with friends. Play catch, and throw in some forkballs to try to catch each other out. If your friend is deceived by the ball as it drops down at the last second, you know it is coming along nicely. It's good to practice with a catcher as they will be able to give you good feedback on the flight of the ball. You can ask a friend, parent or coach to observe your pitch to see if they spot any problems that might be holding you back. Remember, this is a pitch that is very hard to master and can lead to injuries. Take it easy with your practices and stop if you start to feel pain in your elbow, wrist or fingers.

SUMMARY:
Concentrate on your arm action. Focus on keeping a stiff wrist. Practice the pitch against a wall. Practice with friends. Don't overdo it.
