In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This trick can be used anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere during the day, when the sun is visible. Lay the watch flat and face-up in your palm so that its face is parallel with the ground. Turn the watch, your hand, or your entire body so that the hour hand of your watch is pointing directly at the sun. The time on the watch doesn't matter, as long as it's accurate. If you're having a hard time lining the hour hand up with the sun exactly, you may want to use a narrow object's shadow to help you. Stick a twig or narrow post into the ground so that the shadow it casts is clearly visible. Then, line the shadow up with the hour hand of your watch. An object's shadow is cast away from the sun, so lining your hour hand up with a narrow shadow is essentially the same as lining it up with the sun itself. This is the tricky part. Find the middle point of the angle between your hour hand and the 12 o'clock mark on your watch. Before noon, you'll have to measure clockwise from your hour hand to the 12 o'clock marking, while afternoon, you'll have to measure counterclockwise from your hour hand to the 12 o'clock marking. The middle point between the two marks South, while the point directly across from it marks North. For example, if it's exactly 5 o'clock in the afternoon and you've lined up your hour hand with the sun, South is the direction exactly between the 2 and 3 o'clock marks and North is the spot across from this point (exactly between 8 and 9). Note that during Daylight Saving Time, your watch is most likely one hour "off" from the "real" time. If this is the case, substitute 1 o'clock for 12 o'clock before finding your North-South line.
Summary: Hold the watch horizontally. Point the hour hand in the direction of the sun. Bisect the angle between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock mark to find South.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Soaking the the garment in a slightly acidic solution will start to break down the gum and help release its grip on the fabric. You need only soak the gummed up portion of the garment, but you can also dunk the entire item if that is easier to do. The first option for soaking is lemon juice, either fresh-squeezed or bottled pure lemon juice. You can also use white vinegar, which may work even better if warmed. Let the garment soak until the gum begins to loosen from the garment, then scrape it away with the back of a butter knife. Rinse away the remaining juice or vinegar, then spot-clean (if necessary) and launder the garment as usual. No one would ever confuse hairspray and mayonnaise, but either one can be used as a gum-removal coating in a pinch. They may also be a bit messier than other methods, though. Coat the gum with aerosol hairspray, then let it dry. The gum will harden and be easier to scrape away. Work a healthy dab of mayo into the gum. The oils and acids in the mayonnaise will help break down and loosen the gum, and it should peel away much more easily. Rinse, spot-clean, and launder the garment as needed and recommended. Chewed gum may love to stick to cotton clothing, but if you give it an even more appealing option like something that is also sticky it may change its mind and move on without a fight. Mounting putty the kind used to hang dorm-room posters can be pressed over the gum. Once you get a good bond, peel the entire glob away. Also, you can add one more item to the long list of uses for duct tape. Lay a strip over the gum, smooth it over, then pull it off purposefully (somewhere between gently peeling and ripping it away). Once again, spot-clean and launder the garment as recommended.
Summary: Give it a sour soak. Coat it. Fight sticky with sticky.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you purchase clothes, accessories, or shoes, you can actually get hints on what type of theme they belong to. Inside the Able Sister's shops, when you click on an article of clothing by pressing "A" but before you choose any dialogue options, Mable will give you some commentary on the clothes. For example, she can say, "The sporty vibe of the rally tank is nice, right?" where "sporty" is the theme and "rally tank" is the name of the item. These will change depending on what you've clicked on. On the accessory side of the Able Sister's shop, you will need to try on the item before Labelle will tell you what theme it belongs to. Once you've tried on the item, Labelle will say, "Oh wow, that [theme] look is great on you." Then you have the option as to whether or not you'd like to buy it. You can try on an accessory by standing next to it then pressing "A." Inside Kick's shop for shoes and socks, you simply need to stand next to the item and press "A," and Kick will say, "Fan of the [theme] look?"
Summary:
Check the theme of clothes. Check the theme of accessories. Check the theme of shoes.
