INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If possible, you should begin planning your bid in the summertime, since you will have more time on your hands. Make fliers and posters, and talk to your friends about possible strategies. This can be fun. Make funny photoshopped pictures and memes and share them with your friends. Think about funny ways to distribute fliers or places to put posters. Use the summer as an opportunity to branch out a little bit. Participate in activities that might bring your into contact with new people. Go to the library, go to concerts, and go to local parks. Tell all your friends that you want to become Homecoming King. Try to tell your acquaintances as well. Be confident in your statements. if you are unsure about whether or not you should be king, other people will be unsure as well. Don't ask people if they will vote for you. Say, "I'm trying to be Homecoming King this year". You should be making a statement, not asking a question. Remember to tell your teachers as well. If some of your teachers are the key decision-makers in deciding who gets nominated, tell them first. Sometimes committees are in charge of creating and collecting ballots. Sometimes this is the yearbook club, but it could also be your student council. Leave no doubt in their minds about whether or not you are trying to become king. You can try to befriend the committee members, but this is not necessary. If it is too aggressive and sudden, it may also seem dishonest. If you are unsure of what committees are involved, you should ask a member of the yearbook club or a teacher. Make sure to ask early, because there could be a deadline for applying. Homecoming is a football event, so making an appearance at games is necessary. If you are not on a sports team, make sure that the football team knows that you support them by meeting them after the game. Befriending football players will not seem like a dishonest political move. Teams often vote together, and they are very protective of their friends. If you are friends with someone on the team, you can even go as far as to bring the team sports or energy drinks before and after the game.

SUMMARY: Start in the summer. Mention your bid early on. Figure out the nomination process. Attend sports games and encourage the football team.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for a specialized whitewall tire cleaner in the automotive section of a department store or hardware store. Regular cleaners like Comet can work well to remove dirt and discoloration on the tires, but they can dry out the tires in the process, leading to early wear. Cleaning products containing alcohol or chlorine bleach should be avoided for the same reason. For the best results, opt for all-natural whitewall tire cleaners (e.g. Simple Green). Use an SOS pad for regular cleaning of whitewall tires. Use a hose to wet the tires. Wet the SOS pad as well. If your chosen tire cleaning product is in spray form, spray it directly onto wet tires. If it is a liquid, mix the product in a bucket with water (as per the directions on the label). Soak your SOS pad in the mixture. Put a generous effort into cleaning your whitewall tires thoroughly. The effectiveness of the cleaning is just as contingent on the duration and intensity of the scrubbing as it is to the products used. If the work is too intense to tackle on your own, enlist the help of a friend or family member. Rinse your tires every few minutes while you wash them to see how clean they are getting. Reapply your cleaning product and continue until you are satisfied with the results after rinsing. After you have scrubbed your tires clean, use the hose to rinse them off thoroughly.
Summary: Use a specialized cleaner. Wet the tires and cleaning pad. Apply the cleaning product. Scrub tires thoroughly. Rinse off your tires.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Carefully slice the tip off to make a hole that you can squeeze the caulk out of. Make sure to use silicone bathroom/kitchen/plumbing caulk for your drain to ensure it is waterproof. You can get a tube of silicone plumbing caulk at any home improvement store. Put the tip of the caulk tube in the end of the caulk gun furthest from the handle. The rest of the tube will snap easily into place, as long as the tube and the gun are the same size. You can get a caulk gun that fits your caulk tube at a home improvement store. Hold the caulk gun at a 45-degree angle over a scrap piece of paper. Pull the trigger until caulk comes out in a steady stream. This will ensure that you can get an even bead of caulk out around the drain. Hold the tip of the caulk gun at a 45-degree angle to the rim of the drain hole. Squeeze the trigger and slowly move the tip of the caulk gun around the opening until there is an even line of caulk all the way around. If the caulk stops coming out at any point, then release the trigger and press it again until the caulk starts coming out again. Some caulk will squeeze out from under the lip of the drain body. This will create the waterproof seal around the drain. If no caulk oozes out after you tighten the drain body, then you should remove it and apply a bigger bead of caulk to make sure you create a tight seal. Thoroughly wipe away the caulk that oozes out around the drain after you have tightened it. Throw away the dirty paper towel. Try moistening the paper towel to wipe away the caulk if it is hard to get all of it off with a dry paper towel. Put the tip of the screwdriver against one of the nubs with screw holes inside the drain body. Hit the top of the screwdriver with a hammer to tighten the drain body about 1/2 a turn more to complete the seal. You can also use some kind of utensil, like pliers, to wedge inside the drain body against the screw hole nubs and tighten it another 1/2 a turn. Align the grid so the screw holes are over the nubs inside the drain body. Place the screws in the holes and tighten them all the way clockwise with a screwdriver. Be careful not to drop the screws down the drain when you are putting them back in!

SUMMARY:
Cut the tip off a tube of caulk with a utility knife. Insert the tip of the caulk tube into a caulk gun and snap it in place. Pull the trigger a few times to prime the tube. Squeeze a bead of caulk around the drain opening. Screw the drain body back into the pipe and hand tighten it as far as you can. Wipe away the excess caulk with a paper towel. Tap the drain clockwise with a screwdriver and hammer to tighten it all the way. Replace the drain cover on the drain and screw it down tightly.
