INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Not all yurts require insulation or lining, but they conserve heat and protect your yurt from the elements. Install your insulation on a day that is not very windy, and do this once the rafters are all in place. Use a step ladder to reach the top middle of your yurt, and spread the liner over the rafters. Have a friend pull the hemmed end around the rafter ends. Then, place the insulation on top of the liner. You can secure the upper area while your friend secures the perimeter. To secure the lining and insulation, use a staple gun to add a staple every 48in (1020cm). Once the insulation seam is aligned properly, use the foil tape to secure the seam. If you'd like, trim the insulation around the door frame so it does not get in the way. Remove the cover from the bag and get rid of the binding straps. The cover of your yurt is often in a bag made of the same material. Untie the straps around the cover. Then, place your step ladder inside your yurt so you can unroll the cover. To do this, bring the top of the covering through the center ring opening. Once the covering is through the opening, you can let the covering unroll until it reaches your door. As you stand on the step ladder, have a friend work around the perimeter. Once the covering is unrolled, unfold it 2-3 times to cover a bit in each direction. As you do this, look for the cut-out opening for the door in the top cover valance. The cut-out has many oval grommets, rather than round grommets. Ensure the cut-out is centered over the door so you can easily install the rest of the covering. Work with your friend to unfold the rest of the covering across the top and perimeter of the yurt. Once the covering is halfway unfolded and covers half of your rafters, install a 2-5 twist-lock connectors or S-clips to secure the top cover at the door. Securing the cover near the door keeps the door detail aligned. Then, tie a cord to a few of the grommets on the top cover. Use the cord to help pull the rest of the fabric over the center ring and around the perimeter. Finally, pull the outside edge around so it is snug around the ends of the rafters. It is imperative that the top cover is centered on the center ring and pulled down evenly. If not, your covering will be crooked. You do not need to fasten the cover to the center ring. Once the covering is in place, inspect the door frame to make sure everything fits properly. Then, use a marker to indicate the oval grommet locations. Drill 764ft (0.033m) pilot holes with the provided bits, and then fasten the twist-lock connectors. If you don't drill pilot holes, you may break the twist-lock shank. If you overtighten the twist-lock connectors, you can also break the shank. Once your roof is in place, consult your instructions regarding any specific finishing touches.

SUMMARY: Install your roof insulation and liner facing if included in your kit. Take out the cover and place a step ladder in the middle of your yurt. Unroll the covering toward the door frame. Unfold your covering 2-3 times to begin wrapping the perimeter. Unfold half of the covering and secure it using connectors. Pull the top layer of the cover over the center ring and down the other side. Mark the oval grommet locations around the door to secure them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Straightening your hair can cause damage if your iron is too hot or if you make multiple passes over the same section of hair with it. To keep your hair as healthy as possible, set your iron to a temperature that's hot enough to straighten a section with 1-2 passes, but no hotter. Set your iron to about 150F (66C) if you have thin, fine hair. Set your flat iron to about 350F (177C) if you have thick, coarse hair. Set you flat iron to about 250F (121C) if your hair is thick and fine or coarse and thin. Before you begin using the flat iron, divide your hair into sections. Use clips to pull up the bulk of your hair, and then let down a thin layer of hair at the base of your head. As you straighten each section, let out a bit more hair from your clip. You should not straighten a section of hair that is wider or thicker than 1 inch (2.5cm) at a time. If you try to straighten a section that is too thick, it won't straighten properly. You may need multiple large and small clips to hold your hair in place. You can find these online or at your local pharmacy. This will help smooth out the hair and give you sleek locks. This is especially important for natural hair that may tangle easily. Use a paddle brush or a wide-toothed comb to avoid pulling your hair or breaking the strands. In order to get the best results with your flat iron, start at the roots of your hair, press down with the flat iron, and then slowly move the flat iron down the hair to the tip. Make sure that you maintain pressure the entire time. Depending on how thick your hair is, it may take a while to flat iron every section. Be patient and don't try to rush the process. If you need to, take a break for 20 minutes and start up again after you've rested. Generally, it will take about a half hour to an hour to finish flat ironing. If you have a lot of hair, it could take longer.

SUMMARY: Decide on a temperature based on your hair's texture and thickness. Divide your hair into sections. Brush each section before straightening. Start at the root of your hair and run down to the tips. Flat iron each section until your look is complete.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: First, remove any of the bear's clothing that can be washed separately so you can clean the bear itself thoroughly. Then mix a dash of soap with warm water in a sink or large bowl. Submerge the bear. To prevent the bear from becoming overly logged with water, only submerge the first part (head, limbs, back side, front side, etc) that you intend to clean. Use a high-efficiency (HE) dish or laundry detergent that produces few suds in order to make rinsing easier. Use your fingers to softly knead and massage any dirt, grime, or stains that come off easily. For tougher spots, use a sponge, face flannel, or towel. Gently rub the dirty areas until the dirt dislodges. For particularly tough spots, be sure to go soft and easy, regardless of the time it takes, to avoid pulling the fur out by its roots. Make sure to clean behind its ears, along its neck, and any other areas where seams create crevices and extra dirt might collect. Empty the sink or bowl of soapy warm. Fill it again with only water. Submerge the bear again. Gently massage it to release soapy residue. Drain the sink or bowl and repeat as needed until all soap has been removed. Again, to keep the bear from becoming excessively waterlogged, only rinse off one part at a time before submerging the next.

SUMMARY:
Bathe your bear in soapy water. Wash the bear. Rinse.
