INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Combine 1 cup (200 g) of granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of water in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium-high until it comes to a boil, which should take approximately 3 minutes. Once the mixture comes to a boil, allow it to continue cooking until the sugar dissolves completely, which should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Be sure to stir the mixture constantly until the sugar dissolves. When the sugar has dissolved, take the pan off the heat. Add 2 large egg whites that are at room temperature, teaspoon (1 g) of cream of tartar, teaspoon (1 g) of salt, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip the mixture on medium-high until soft peaks form, which should take 1 to 2 minutes. To separate the egg whites from the yolk, break the egg against a flat surface, such as a countertop. Separate the egg in two over a bowl, allowing the yolk to fall into the lower half. Move the yolk back and forth so the white drips into the bowl below. Continue moving the yolk until all of the white is removed. You can also beat the egg white mixture with a handheld electric mixer if you prefer. Lower the mixer speed to medium, and slowly pour the warm sugar syrup into the egg white mixture. Keep beating the mixture until it cools and has a fluffy texture, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the frosting reaches the right consistency, it is ready to spread. It's best used immediately, so smooth it over your cake or cupcakes as soon as you're finished mixing it.

SUMMARY: Bring the sugar and water to a boil. Cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt. Pour the sugar syrup into the egg white mixture and beat until fluffy. Spread the frosting immediately.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Topsoil will make the soil healthier, which will help the sod grow. Any kind of regular topsoil will work. If you don't have access to topsoil, you can use manure or compost instead. Your soil test should tell you what nutrients your soil is lacking, and give recommendations on how much fertilizer to use and what kind you should get. Get a fertilizer that meets the recommendations in your soil test and apply it to the layer of topsoil you put down. Tilling the soil will help mix in the topsoil and fertilizer you added. It will also loosen the soil and make it easier for the sod roots to attach underground. Go over the surface of the soil with the rototiller 1-2 times. Avoid tilling the soil more than that or you could damage the structure of the soil. If you don't own a rototiller, look up rototiller rentals near you and rent one for the day. Fine grading is the process of packing and smoothing the soil before you put the sod over it. Take a heavy mat and drag it over the surface of the soil several times until it's smooth. If you're working with a large area, it may be easier to use a lawn roller. Don't pack down the soil too much or the roots on the sod won't attach properly. The top .5 inches (1.3cm) of soil should be loose enough that when you walk across the soil your feet leave .5in (1.3cm) footprints. Don't lay down sod on dry soil or it won't attach properly. You want the soil to be damp, not soaked. If you water the soil and it gets muddy, let it dry some before you lay down the sod.
Summary: Add a 6-inch layer of topsoil over your existing soil. Add a fertilizer once you get your soil test results back. Use a rototiller to till the top 4 inches (10cm) of the soil. Fine grade the soil using a heavy mat. Water the soil before you lay down the sod.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use scissors to cut a straight line from end to end on one of your toilet paper rolls. Then use hot glue to attach a sturdy paper straw or wooden dowel to the center of your bottle cap. Allow the glue to dry. Open your slit toilet paper roll and position the lid so it is of the way to one end of the roll, with the straw/dowel exiting the other end of the roll. Then: Try to insert this roll, along with the cap and straw, into the uncut roll. It should be snug, but you should still be able to push the cut roll inside the uncut one. Use your hot glue to attach the bottle cap and attached straw inside the cut roll. Position the bottle cap so it is of the way to one end of the roll. The straw should exit the opposite end. Cover the outside of your uncut roll with decorative paper to cover the plain cardboard. Attach the paper with either a glue stick or tape. Once the glue is dry, use your glue stick or tape to attach a taut layer of tissue paper at one end of the roll. Hold your uncut roll so the tissue paper covered end is upside down. Add confetti to this roll, then gently insert the confetti pusher into the open end of the uncut roll until it is to of the way inside. You may need to wiggle the pusher back and forth to position it properly inside the uncut roll. Be careful not to use too much force, as it could break your tissue paper seal and release the confetti. When the moment comes for you to launch the confetti, in a rapid motion, pull back on the straw/dowel of the confetti pusher slightly, then push it forward firmly. This should cause the tissue paper to break and confetti to fly out of the popper.
Summary:
Cut a straight line from end to end on a toilet paper roll. Check the size of the confetti pusher and assemble it. Decorate your uncut roll. Load your confetti into the uncut roll. Launch your confetti.
