Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a handheld rotary tool online or at a craft store. Experiment on less expensive glass objects first. Wear goggles and a respirator. Draw an image with a marker instead of taping an image to the inside. Turn on the tool and set it to 15,000 - 20,000 RPM. Etch the glass and trace the image. Wipe away excess dust and finish tracing the image.

Answer: A handheld rotary tool is a small electrical device that has a tip that looks like a pen and can be used to etch glass. Look for a rotary tool with a flex shaft advertised in the product description or on the box. This will give the tool more flexibility, which will make it easier to control. Get a tool that comes with a diamond, tungsten, or silicon carbide tip. Etching glass by hand is a skill, so your designs may not turn out perfectly at first. Etch on cups or cheaper pieces of glass to practice your technique before moving onto more expensive pieces. Etching by hand is best used on smaller pieces of glassware rather than larger pieces of glass, like a window. Goggles and a respirator will prevent you from inhaling glass particles and getting glass dust in your eyes. You can purchase both of these things online or at a hardware store. Wear them whenever you are etching the glass. When you etch glass, work in a well-ventilated area. If you don't want to etch a printed out design, you can draw one instead. This will give your design a free-form, unique look. Draw the image directly on the outside surface of the glass with a thick black marker. Give the marker enough time to dry before you start etching.Thick lines are easier to etch than more intricate designs. Adjust the settings on the rotary tool so that the tip is rotating at around 15,000 - 20,000 RPM. You can find these instructions in the rotary tool manual. Push the button on the rotary machine to start rotating the tip. Higher RPMs might crack or damage the glass. Usually, rotary tools will have power settings that range from 1-10. If you have a tool like this, adjust the power settings to 5 or 6 to set it to 15,000 - 20,000 RPM. Lightly press the tip of the tool onto the surface of the glass to start etching. Drag the tip of the tool over the lines in your image and take notice of the marks that you're making. Continue tracing around the outside of the image before working on the inner details. You won't have to press hard to make an engraving onto the surface of the glass. It's best to work from one end of the image to the other. Continue slowly etching the image. Use a rag to wipe away dust as you work. Fill in portions of the design by moving the etching tool back and forth over the inside areas of the design. You can attach different tips onto your rotary tool for different etching effects. A diamond tip is better for etching sharp and straight edges. Silicon carbide and tungsten tips are better for shading or filling in larger areas.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try to work where there's a window. Add artificial light sources. Keep the clutter to a minimum. Decorate your space to inspire you.

Answer: To be productive and efficient, you will need good lighting. Design your space around a window. Daylight makes your workspace more positive, and exposure to sunlight improves the overall quality of your life. Align your workstation facing north or south to avoid shadows at any time of day. Position yourself adjacent to the window to enjoy the view while preventing glare on your screen. Get good window treatments that will prevent glare and keep the room from overheating on very sunny days. You need other light sources to supplement natural lighting. Light your entire workspace with pleasant overhead or ambient light. Task lights are essential for reading and other close work. A good combination of artificial light sources can compensate if your workspace does not have a window, or at night and on overcast days. Find task lights with dimmers so they can suit any task. You want a productive workspace. Cut down on clutter by only having the items you will need in your space. Make sure you have easy access to everything you need to get your work done. Invest in good desk organizers that you like. Make sure your desk is proportionate to your workspace. An extra large desk can make you feel cramped. Incorporate some empty space so you do not feel overwhelmed by clutter in your space. Include personal touches that will inspire you without overwhelming your space or distracting you from your work. Use colors that help keep you calm and happy. Balance these with more neutral colors to prevent distraction. Bring in some artwork or photos that you enjoy and that inspire you. Make the space cozy with a throw blanket. Have custom-built shelves that reflect your style. Decorate with plants.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Carry a notepad and pen around. Text or message others online. Mime to others. Communicate with open or closed off body language.

Answer: Keep a pen and a pad of sticky notes or a small notebook with you at all times when remaining silent for the day. This way, you can quickly write down your coffee order at the cafe or a reminder of your vow of silence to show to your teacher. This will make minimal, straightforward communication less complicated. Send emails or use social media to discuss things with friends, family members, teachers, or coworkers. This is an easy way to communicate complex and/or extensive information to others while not speaking. If you're good at acting or charades, you can also get your point across to someone by using gestures. You can actually communicate quite a bit just by using certain facial expressions. Consider using the thumbs up hand signal for "yes" and the thumbs down signal for "no" throughout the day. Try coming up with hand gestures for basic things that you may need throughout the day, such as asking to use the restroom. Share these hand gestures with your teachers and/or boss ahead of time so that there's no confusion on the day you remain silent. People communicate more with their body language than with their words. When remaining silent, focus on displaying open or closed body language to tell people whether or not you want them near you. If your friend sits next to you in class, make eye contact with them and smile to show that you're happy they sat there. If someone is harassing you and trying to get you to speak, cross your arms and don't look at them to show that you aren't interested in engaging.
