Problem: Article: Drain the water carefully into a clean sink. Avoid letting the water splash. It's okay if the rope falls into the sink too since you will have to rinse the excess dye from it. Wear rubber gloves and an apron to protect your skin and clothes from stains. Run warm to hot water over the rope and squeeze away the excess dye. Over time, change the water from hot to cold. Continue this process until the water running through the rope is clear. If the color is too dark, continue using warm water until you reach your desired color. Only when you're happy with the color should you switch to cold water. Once the excess dye is removed, wring out the remaining water from the rope. Loosely re-wrap the rope around the dowel and let it hang to dry. As the rope dries, it may lighten in color. Leave the color a little darker than what you want to account for this.
Summary: Dump the water and rope into a sink. Rinse the rope with warm water, slowly changing the temperature to cold. Wring out the rope and re-wrap it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The key to continued eligibility for unemployment benefits is that you are able and available for work. If you weren't both able and available all 7 days of the week, your benefits may be reduced. For example, you may have been unable to work for 2 days because you were sick. Be honest about this in your claim certification. If you were unavailable for any other reason, state that reason specifically. You may be able to keep your full benefits for the week if you were unavailable through no fault of your own. You're expected to actively look for work the entire time you're getting unemployment benefits. Some states may have specific job search sites you're supposed to use. You may also be required to attend a specific number of interviews each week, or submit a specific number of applications. Write down the name and address of any company where you submitted an application, along with the job title for which you applied. Include the date you submitted each application, and the current status of that application. This includes any follow-up calls you've made to the company or any letters you've received regarding your application. If you had job interviews over the course of the week covered by your certification, provide the name of the employer along with the date and time of the interview. You may also include the job title for which you were interviewed. If you scheduled future interviews, you may want to list those as well, along with the date when the interview is scheduled. Refusing a job offer may mean you're no longer eligible for unemployment benefits. However, you're not required to accept just any job offer as a condition of keeping your benefits. You are only required to accept an offer that is suitable for your educational background and work experience. For example, if you have a law degree, you wouldn't be required to accept an offer to be a clerk at a supermarket or fast food restaurant. If you turned down an offer but believe it wasn't in keeping with your qualifications, be prepared to explain that.

SUMMARY: Explain when you were able and available to work. Describe your job search. List any job interviews you had. Be honest if you turned down employment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Copper has mildly acidic properties which make it useful for killing invasive bacteria and fungi. It can be used to clear up almost every type of infection, including blights, powdery mildew and anthracnose. For this reason, copper is a go-to solution for many organic gardening enthusiasts. Most commercial organic fungicides contain some amount of copper. In high concentrations, copper can be toxic to humans and animals. It should therefore be used sparingly to avoid creating deposits in the soil or runoff water. Always follow the instructions on the label. Like copper, elemental sulfur is naturally antifungal. Plants displaying symptoms of leaf spots, rust or botrytis can benefit from regular application of the diluted chemical. Sulfur is more potent than other organic compounds, however, so it should be handled with caution. Never apply sulfur-based fungicides to young growth, or in extremely hot temperatures. If you're not careful, it can burn right through the foliage. Avoid using sulfur on "sulfur shy" fruiting plants like grapes, gooseberries, currants and apricots. Bordeaux mixture is a special fungicide solution made from a combination of copper sulfate, lime and water. Gardeners have been using Bordeaux mixture for centuries to fight a multitude of botanical diseases while preserving the health of their plants. When putting together your own Bordeaux mixture, it's best to follow the 4-4-50 rule4 pounds (1.8kg) of copper sulfate and 4 pounds (1.8kg) of lime diluted in 50 gallons (189L) of water. This will produce a solution that's strong yet safe. You can also purchase premade Bordeaux mixture. Commercial varieties are available in either dry or wet form to give you more control over their application. Items like grain alcohol, apple cider vinegar, oil soaps, neem oil, and baking soda are readily available and helpful for eliminating infectious growth. Most of these substances can simply be diluted with a few ounces of water and applied using a spray bottle. Try whipping up a basic DIY fungicide solution by infusing alliums (pungent plants like crushed cloves, garlic and onions) in a small amount of water or citric acid. Homemade organic solutions will be most effective for dealing with slow-moving diseases such as blights and leaf spots. More serious infections should be pruned to keep them from spreading. Natural ingredients are generally mild enough to be used on plants of all species and ages, including seedlings and offshoots.
Summary: Treat common diseases with copper. Use sulfur to deal with serious infections. Make your own Bordeaux mixture. Try a homemade remedy.

You will also need one person to serve as the referee, spinning the needle and calling out hand and foot positions. If you have more than four people at your Twister party, you may need to rotate out players, each round, so that everyone gets a change to twist. Consider setting up "stations" with separate games so that the non-players have something to do. Choose a spacious, flat, and well-lit area: a living room floor, a deck, or a patio. Make sure that you have enough space to accommodate flailing limbs, wacky poses, and falling players. You can play Twister indoors or outdoors. Take weather conditions into account--a bit of rain can quickly turn the Twister mat into a mini-Slip'N Slide.

One-sentence summary -- Make sure that you have 2 or 3 players. Pick your playing field.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Doing a split can appear deceptively simple. In actuality, this move requires a high level of flexibility in multiple muscle groups. The most important of these are the hamstrings and dorsal hip muscles (also called iliopsoas), however, stretching a wide range of lower-body muscles will ensure greater overall flexibility, lessening your risk of discomfort, pain, or injury. Additionally, this comprehensive stretching regimen prepares you to do both types of basic split - side splits and front splits. Besides the hamstrings and hip muscles, try to add stretches for as many of the following muscles as possible to your fitness routine: Lower back (lumbar region) Buttocks (glutes) Groin (especially valuable for side splits) Calves Quadriceps The stretching recommendations included the following steps in this section will target many of these secondary muscles. However, if desired, you may substitute your own preferred stretches. This stretch targets your hip muscles. Begin as if you were doing an ordinary lunge exercise - plant one foot forward and lower yourself down to the ground by bending your front leg and sliding your back leg back until your shin lies on the ground. When you've reached the floor, put your hands on your hips and gradually shift your weight forward, keeping your back straight. Continue until you begin to feel the stretch in the top of the thigh where it meets the hip. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then return to your starting position and switch to your other leg. Repeat several times.
Summary:
Know the muscles you need to stretch. Do a lunge stretch.
