INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There is no single "correct" length, so you may need to guess a little to determine how long you want the blade of your dagger to be. When designing a dagger for the first time, you should consider a length between 3 and 4 inches (7.6 and 10 cm). You can sketch out the blade first and measure your sketch to determine the exact dimensions, or you could decide on the dimensions before sketching out the dagger. Either option is acceptable. Also consider the width. Ideally, the width of the blade should be between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 and 5 cm). Handle length should be decided upon based on the size of your blade and the size of your hand. Take your hand size into consideration first. The handle should be a little longer than the width of your hand so that your hand can comfortably grab and control the handle. Measure this against the size of the blade, next. The handle should be no longer than the length of the blade but no shorter than half that same length. The handle should also be the same width as the blade at its widest point. Take the time to actually draw out your dagger design and mark all of the dimensions on your drawing. You can draw it by hand on paper or cardboard, or you could create the design on your computer and sketch it out. Work with whatever tools you feel most comfortable with.

SUMMARY: Figure out how long you want the blade to be. Determine a handle length. Draw it out.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This technique, sometimes called the LAPD technique, has the suspect interlace their fingers behind their heads before handcuffing. This can occur in a standing or kneeling position. Grasp the suspect's left wrist in your hand and press the "bow" of the handcuff against their wrist. Cuff the wrist, making sure that the cuff isn't too tight. Grasp the cuffed wrist and move it in a circular motion away from the body and behind the suspect's back. The chain of the handcuff should be coming out of the cuff away from the body. The suspect's other hand should still be resting on the back of their head. Holding the cuffed wrist in one hand, grasp the suspect's right wrist and move it in a circular motion behind the suspects back next to their cuffed hand. Press the suspect's hands together, palms facing outward, and extend your left hand to restrain both of their wrists. Some people find it helpful to hold the suspect's thumbs together to help restrain them. Try to complete this step swiftly as the subject can still resist with one hand free. If the suspect begins to struggle, subdue them before continuing to handcuff them. If the handcuffs have a double locking mechanism, this is the time to lock it. Always double check the tightness of the handcuffs. You should be able to slide your smallest finger between the cuffs and the person's wrist. Leaving the cuffs too tight can result in nerve damage to the suspect.
Summary: Handcuff your suspect with their hands behind their head. Stand behind the suspect and retrieve the handcuffs. Move the cuffed wrist behind their back. Move the other hand behind the suspect's back. Cuff the suspect's other wrist.

When the front tire is done, move on to the rear tire. Line up the strap with the rear tire, on either side, and tie it to the trailer at this point. If the trailer has hooks or other tie-down attachments, secure the strap to this point. Pull the strap towards the tire and loop it through. Wrap the tire with one complete rotation, then pull the strap towards the other side of the trailer. Make sure you only wrap the strap around the tire, not around any spokes. Tie the ratchet strap to the opposite side of the trailer. Then loop the strap through the ratchet. Crank it to tighten the strap, and continue until it pulls taut. Flailing straps can damage your car and motorcycle if you drive at high speeds. Finish the job by securing all the ends. Either tie them to the trailer, or loop them around the tightened strap portion and tie a knot. Monitor the straps as you drive. Glance through your rearview mirror to see if any have come loose, and pull over to tie them back down if they have.

One-sentence summary -- Tie a strap parallel with the rear tire. Wrap the strap around the rear tire. Attach the strap to a ratchet strap on the opposite side of the trailer. Tie down the loose strap ends so they don't flail.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When preparing shelving, take a look at the rest of your room. Notice any common colors in your furniture, walls, and flooring. Chances are a few colors appear in your room more often than others. Alter the rest of the room along with your shelf decorations to include these colors. A room theme works best when the colors you choose are interspersed throughout the room. For instance, if your room has a nautical theme, you could include white china and blue books on your shelves. The characteristics of the shelving and decorations you use should change depending on the room. Select each item carefully so it matches with the overall aesthetic of the room. Modern shelving or decorations may look out of place in a room designed to appear rustic. If you have a modern room with sleek, dark furniture, you might want to use metal shelves. Then, decorate the shelves with metal picture frames, electronics, and colorful displays. Open shelves are a focal point in a room, so you don't want the wall behind it to stand out. A neutral shade like white often works well. You can also use light colors such as a pale blue or wood paneling. Avoid dark, drab colors, since these contrast against most decorations. To highlight a few select items on open shelves, you can paint the wall behind it a bold color. Or, you can add patterned wallpaper. This adds a fun pop of color and directs the eye toward the shelves. Leave some walking space between the shelves and furniture. Also, after the work you probably went through in arranging the shelves, you won't want to obscure the decor behind a large couch. Move furniture away so the shelves are visible. Placing a large chair near a shelf can be distracting. The size of the chair draws eyes to it, so your shelves will likely be underappreciated. If you want furniture near the shelves, restrict it to a single small chair if possible. Or, make sure the furniture is a solid or neutral color so the area doesn't look too busy. This includes the walls as well as the floor. Let the shelves stand alone. Try not to hang any large or gaudy wall art next to the shelves. Also, avoid placing large cabinets or additional shelving units nearby, since this can cause your space to look overcrowded. Distracting wall decorations can include bright wall paint, wallpaper, posters, and framed art. Intersperse other storage and shelving units throughout your home to create consistency. If you wish to place other eye-catching decorations nearby, make your shelves less of a focal point. To do this, store less items on the shelves. Choose mostly items with neutral colors, such as white. Keep your room balanced by not drawing attention from nearby decorations. For example, a fancy framed painting may be on the wall. If you don't move it, it will be the first item anyone sees when they step into the room. Periodically check your room to keep your decor up to date. Clean up any clutter and eliminate any items that no longer belong there. Refill your shelves with new items to keep your decor fresh. Adjust any wall decorations or nearby furniture as needed to keep the room fresh. Even rearranging the items on your shelving can make your decor look new again. You may want to change up your decor based on the season as well. For instance, you could add Christmas decor around the holidays or include brighter items during the summer.

SUMMARY:
Establish a color theme throughout your room. Match the shelf and decoration style to the room. Paint the back wall a simple color if your shelves are busy. Use bold paint or patterned wallpaper if your shelves are bare. Move furniture at least 3ft (0.91m) away from the shelves. Decorate the area surrounding the shelves sparingly. Simplify the decor if you display other items nearby. Review your decor on occasion.
