INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Different versions of plastic require different recycling streams to process the materials, which means that you'll have to take special care to recycle your Styrofoam. It cannot be recycled with your plastic bottles, newspaper, and your aluminum cans, so don't try to set it out with your regular recycling, or drop it off at the regular recycling center. Doing so might result in all of your recycling being thrown out. While Styrofoam has insulation properties that make it an attractive packing material, using Styrofoam in your home as heat insulation is extraordinarily dangerous and illegal. Styrofoam can be used to regulate coolers, and drink coffee from, but it's also extremely flammable, which makes it dangerous to as an insulation in a home, trailer, or other environment. While EPS can be incinerated at very high temperatures in specialized incinerators, producing no more harmful chemicals than carbon and water, it cannot be burned at home. Burning in a regular fire, the type of which you'll be able to do at home, releases harmful carbon monoxide and black carbon into the atmosphere, making it dangerous. Dispose of your Styrofoam in other ways. Make sure your Styrofoam is really Styrofoam. Identify products made from Styrofoam by looking for the number 6 inside a recycling triangle. Typically, food containers and egg cartons cannot be recycled, even at the appropriate drop-off locations. These are a slightly-different variety of expanded-polystyrene, which cannot be recycled. Avoid buying and using these types of Styrofoam. Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPF) looks and feels similar to EPS, but with a slightly more plastic-like texture and a glisten to it. It feels slightly different than regular #6 EPS, and can't be recycled in the same way. Avoid any Styrofoam with a sheen on it.

SUMMARY: Never set out Styrofoam with other recyclables. Never use Styrofoam as insulation. Never burn Styrofoam. Learn what EP can't be recycled.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is the blue and white square with a smiley face in it, which is the far left icon on the default dock. This will open the finder window. Choose "File" from the toolbar at the top of your screen. Click on "New Smart Folder." This will open another screen which looks very similar to a search screen. This process again, is File>New Smart Folder. Choose the "+" icon on the far right of the top of this folder. This will open another toolbar below the current toolbar in your smart folder window. The first menu will read "Kind." The second menu will read "Any." Click the arrows next to "Any" to reveal a drop down menu. From there, select "Image." Your smart folder will be filled with thumbnails of all of the images which are downloaded to your computer. This step again is Any>Image. If you have a lot of images on your computer, you can narrow the search by setting up timelines within the window. Near the center of the very top of your toolbar in the smart folder window, is an icon with a solid line. Under that line is 3 square, another solid line, and another 3 squares. Click the arrows on the side of this icon to reveal the drop down menu. Choose "Date Created." This will separate your images and order them according to the time they were created on your computer. Search a more specific timeline using the "Kind" drop down menu. This process is File>New Smart Folder> + >Kind>Created Date>Within Last. From this point, the drop down menu will give you options to choose a specific date, or a range of dates including before and after certain dates, as well as within the week, month or year. To search around a specific date, select either "exactly," "before," or "After" and fill in the date in the box to the right. This option will give you thumbnails of all of the files created on your computer within the timeline, not just images. You will need to sift through the other files to find the images. Once you have found what you are looking for, you can click the "Save" button at the top right of the window near the "+" button. This will open a window where you can title the smart folder as well as choose where to store it. Now you can return to this folder in one click next time you want to find these images.

SUMMARY: Click on the Finder icon in your dock. Open a new smart folder. Increase your search options. Find all of the photos on your computer using the second drop down menu. Specify your search by a timeline. Save this smart folder for future reference.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Positive terminals will be indicated by the plus symbol (+), and negative terminals will be indicated by a minus symbol(-). The positive jumper cable is usually red in color if it is not labeled otherwise. The order in which you attach the jumper cables does make a difference, so follow this pattern: First connect one end of the positive jumper cable to the dead battery, then connect the other positive end of the jumper cable to the charged battery. If the jumper cables and the battery you are charging have enough power, the car engine should turn over easily and start. If the engine in the car with the dead battery fails to start, allow five more minutes to pass for the dead battery to charge. This will allow the alternator in the car to recharge the battery.

SUMMARY: Take note of the positive and negative terminals on each battery. Connect each end of the positive jumper cable to the positive terminals on each car battery. Try to start the engine of the car that contains the dead battery. Allow the car which had the dead battery to continue running for at least another five minutes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To start making your fireball from a cotton ball, first pour around cup (60 ml) of rubbing alcohol into a small bowl. Keep in mind that higher concentrations of rubbing alcohol make a larger and hotter flame, while lower concentrations make a flame that is not as hot but is easier to hold. 70% rubbing alcohol is a high concentration. If you can't find a lower concentration, dilute it to make a mixture that is one part water, 2 parts 70% rubbing alcohol. Place one cotton ball in the bowl of rubbing alcohol, turning it over to soak the entire ball in the liquid. Wear disposable gloves or kitchen gloves if you have them so that the rubbing alcohol does not get directly on your hands. After soaking the cotton ball in the rubbing alcohol, take the cotton ball out of the bowl and squeeze it to release excess alcohol. This ensures that the cotton ball won't drip rubbing alcohol, which is dangerous when you set it the cotton ball on fire. If you are handling the cotton ball with your bare hands, set the cotton ball down on a plate or counter. Wash you hands with soap and water and dry them to remove traces of rubbing alcohol. If your clothing got splashed by the rubbing alcohol, change any garments that have the alcohol on them as an extra safety precaution. If you did use gloves to soak the cotton ball in the rubbing alcohol, take off the gloves, making sure not to transfer the rubbing alcohol to your hands. Your cotton ball is now ready to be set aflame!

SUMMARY:
Pour rubbing alcohol into a small bowl. Soak a cotton ball in the rubbing alcohol. Squeeze out the cotton ball. Wash your hands.
