Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mark the desired depth on the outside of the form tube. Use a handsaw to cut the tube to length. Insert the form tube into the support hole. Backfill the support hole.

Answer: Stretch a tape measure along the side of the tube and use a carpenter's pencil to draw a line indicating the depth measurement. You'll be sawing along this line to cut the tube to the right size. Concrete form tubes can be purchased at most major home improvement centers. They typically come in 4' lengths, which you cut to size yourself depending on the needs of your project. Form tubes are available in diameters of 6 inches (15cm), 8 inches (20cm), 10 inches (25cm), and 12 inches (30cm). Make sure the tube you're using meets the size requirements outlined in your local building codes for the structure you're putting up. Lay the tube on its side and line up the teeth of the saw blade with the marking you just made. Saw straight through the tube using smooth, precise strokes, steadying it with your free hand while you work. It may help to do your sawing on grass or another soft surface to keep the tube from rolling or sliding. You can also fire up a reciprocating saw to make cleaner cuts and shave a little time off your project. If you live somewhere with particularly wet conditions, consider adding 46 inches (1015cm) to the length of the form tube. The added height will place the footing a few inches above the soil so that your lumber won't be directly exposed to standing water. Slide the tube in with the sawed-end down so that the upper end is straight and level. Once you've got the tube in the hole, press down firmly from the top to sink it deeper into the gravel base. Place a level across the opening of the tube to make sure it's sitting flush before moving on. Push the loose dirt in around the form tube using your shovel. Pile any remaining soil up around the edges and tamp it gently. With the hole filled, the tube should sit upright on its own. A freestanding tube will be much easier to fill with concrete.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider a lab-created ruby for low-priced quality. Look for "recycled" gemstones. Learn about rubies from Myanmar. Consider other source countries.

Answer: Rubies created in a laboratory are chemically identical to natural rubies, and therefore are just as durable and attractive. They are almost always a cost conscious choice than a natural ruby of similar quality, because the manufacturing process is less expensive than locating and mining natural rubies. Lab-created rubies are an especially good choice if you are concerned about the negative human rights and environmental impact of ruby mines, which can be considerable. While these are often called synthetic rubies, don't confuse them with imitation or artificial rubies, which are not real rubies and are much less durable and bright. Star rubies are considered highly attractive, but natural star rubies are extremely rare and expensive compared to lab-created ones. Any lab created ruby should be clearly marked as such, but this is where the reputable jeweler and the opportunist may be differentiated and the phrase 'Caveat emptor' (Buyer beware) should be considered. About 98% of all rubies that are sold have been on the market for decades, since rubies are extremely difficult to destroy. Some companies specifically market some of their gems as "recycled" stones, sourced from public and retail owned jewelry, arguing that no new environmental impact is produced. Critics note that purchasing new rubies supports gemstone mining communities, but recycling stones also has its supporters. It has been shown that if the provenance of a stone is known and of interest, the stone can fetch a higher price because of its history. Most of the world's rubies come from here, the country formerly known as Burma. While older rubies may come from the famous Mogok valley, they are now more typically from the region of Mong Hsu. Due to the history of the region and the many famous rubies that were mined there, Myanmar rubies have a special cachet. However, due to human rights abuses by the government of Myanmar, the importation of new gems from the region is banned in the United States and Canada, and was banned in the recent past by the European Union. The purplish-red rubies known as "pigeon's blood" rubies come from this area, and are extremely valuable, due, in no small part, to the history of the mines. Sri Lanka (old Ceylon), Thailand, and several African nations export rubies, or have in the past, but these sources tend to ebb and flow as new mines are discovered or emptied. None of these sources are as famous as Myanmar gems, but some of them may be preferable for human rights or environmental reasons. The governments of Tanzania, Ghana, and Zimbabwe are all attempting to regulate the environmental impact of mines with limited success, as the individuals or small groups involved do not have the money to comply with environmental regulations. Rubies mined in the United States are subject to environmental regulation, but they only make up a small fraction of the world's rubies.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Utilize online materials. Ask about their scores.

Answer:
Once the paper and pens are put back and the initial hurdles are over, go online for quizzes and games to see how much your child has retained. Of course, it's possible to write out quizzes yourself and you're more than welcome to do this--but simply being on a computer may make your child feel like it's less of a test and more of a fun challenge. You've done all this work at home--now how has it gone at school? If your child isn't volunteering this information, just ask! They should be proud of good grades; if they're grades aren't so stellar, you can review with them more to have better results next time. It's always an option to call the teacher and inquire about the curriculum. An involved parent is always appreciated.
