In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Using a pen or pencil, start at any point in the middle of the strip and draw a line all the way around without lifting your pen. Eventually, the pen will end up back at the point you started drawing. You have drawn a line on both sides of the loop - but without lifting your pen or crossing any edge. How did this happen? The paper has only one side! Start at a different point in the Mobius strip and see if the same thing happens. Take a highlighter and start coloring the edge of the Mobius strip without lifting the highlighter from the strip. Continue with the marker until you reach the point at which you started. You'll find both edges are colored. This indicates that the Mobius strip has only one edge! With a pair of scissors, poke a hole into the middle of the Mobius strip and cut along the line until you reach the beginning cut. It does not, as you'd expect, fall apart into two separate loops; instead you now have a single, larger one-sided loop! Like you did cutting through the center line, take the scissors and this time, cut about 1/3 of the way from the edge of the strip. Continue cutting until you reach the original cut. When you have finished cutting, you should have one small ring and one larger ring that are connected together.
Summary: Draw a line along the middle of the strip. Color the edge of the strip with a highlighter. Cut the Mobius strip along the central line you drew earlier. Cut the Mobius strip 1/3 of the way away from the edge.

You will be cooking a coffee cake in the microwave. Find a mug that's microwavable prior to mixing your ingredients. The mug should say whether it's microwavable somewhere on the label. You can also use a ramekin similar to the size of a standard sized mug. You will need to soften the butter if you got it straight from the refrigerator. Butter that's at room temperature has already been softened. This recipe calls for slightly softened butter. Place your butter in the mug. Microwave it for 10 to 15 minutes. You do not want melted butter for this recipe. You want butter that is slightly softened. Start off microwaving your butter for 10 seconds and then check it. You should also keep an eye on the butter while it's microwaving. Make sure that your butter does not begin to melt. Stir in the sugar and egg until you have a light, fluffy mixture that's even throughout. You do not need to use an electric mixer. You can simply use a spoon or fork. As you're working with small amounts of ingredients, this shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to a minute. Again, make sure to stir until the mixture is even and creamy. Use the same spoon you used to stir together the egg and sugar. Make sure to stir until you have a smooth, creamy batter. Dry ingredients include the flour and baking soda. Stir these into your cake. You may want to add the dry ingredients in small increments, as this can make them easier to mix into the batter. The precise baking time varies depending on your microwave. Bake your cake for 1 minute and then check on it. If it needs to cook longer, cook it for 10 more seconds. Keep checking on the cake every 10 seconds until it's cooked. Your cake will be ready when you can stick a fork in it and have it come out clean. The cake will be very hot when you remove it from the microwave, so make sure to let it cool for a few minutes before eating it.

Problem: Article: One of the easiest ways to do this is to apply artist-quality Gesso, a thick gel-like primer. Apply it like paint, or spread it around with a palette knife, if it's thick enough. This will allow you to control the style of the texture. You could also leave the canvas smooth and blank. Again, there are no rules for abstract art saying you must have a textured background. Many artists simply start painting on a blank canvas. Use blue painter's tape and place several lines, creating geometric shapes, such as triangles, squares, and rectangles. The goal is to create images that aren't representative of reality. The taped lines will help you paint Painter's tape will ensure that your painting has crisp, clear lines and shapes. Use rulers and pencil lines instead of tape. If you don't want to deal with the gaps that the painter's tape will cause when you remove it, try marking your canvas using a ruler and pencil. Again, lay your ruler down across several points to create geometric shapes. Decide which colors you'll be using to complete your painting. Mix them on an artist's palette or plate. You could also mix the colors directly on the canvas, but this will take away some control over the finished look. Don't worry if you happen to get paint on the painter's tape. Also, don't feel as though you must fill your entire canvas, or all of the shapes, with color. Some abstract artists will outline the colors of each shape before they begin painting. Others simply paint and decide which colors to use as they go along. As soon as you've decided the painting is complete, remove the painter's tape. If you'd like crisp, clear edges, remove the tape while the paint is still wet. If you remove the tape from a dry painting, it's liable to pull paint away with it, creating slightly rough edges. Once you remove the tape, you'll notice white lines from where the tape was covering the canvas. While you can leave it, you could also paint the lines in.
Summary:
Create a textured background. Tape lines at intersecting points across the canvas. Mix your paint colors. Paint in the spaces between the tape. Remove the tape. Fill in the blank space from the tape, optional.
