Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Condition the silicone cupcake liners before their first use. Coat the liners with a thin layer of vegetable oil or non-stick spray. Preheat the oven according to the directions for the cupcake recipe. Adjust the oven rack so that it's sitting in the middle of the oven.

Answer: Wash them in warm soapy water and rinse them well. This method of "seasoning" the liners this way will only be needed for the first few uses.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Flex the soles. Take longer walks. Simulate hikes. Continue until you wear them all day. Customize your boots if needed.

Answer: Once a crease begins to form along the top of each boot, roughly where your toes connect with the balls of your foot, take the boots off after your walks. Bend the boots toes up and down for a little while each day. Make the soles more flexible to decrease stiffness and allow your feet a wider range of movement. Be gentle as you do so, however, so you don't overstretch the soles and tear them! Performing squats while wearing your boots will also help loosen the soles. As short jaunts to the store or elsewhere become more comfortable in your boots, increase the length of your excursions bit by bit. Take 20 or 30 minute walks through the neighborhood each night. If your feet are feeling fine by the end of the week, use the weekend to take a longer hike through a nearby park. The following week, add another 10 or 15 minutes to your nightly walk. Be careful to increase the duration of each walk incrementally, so that you don't end up hobbled in the middle of nowhere. Since trails typically aren't as level or as smooth as sidewalks, take your boots off-road. Find short hills to put them through the motions of climbing. As your boots lose their stiffness, walk over rougher ground to test how they handle uneven surfaces. If you usually wear backpacks while hiking, wear them now with the typical amount of weight that you carry on hikes. Gradually increase the amount of use your boots receive each day until you are comfortably wearing them all day long. At this point, consider them broken in! Set them aside for hiking only so you don't wear them out from casual use. If you continue to experience the same pain in the same area with no sign of improvement, bring your boots to a store that specializes in hiking equipment. Seek assistance from their boot-fitters. Describe the pain and ask what methods and/or modifications could be done to alleviate it. Learn the leading factors that caused the pain to begin with so you know what to look out for when buying future pairs.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands and face before playing. Remove any jewelry prior to playing. Get your flute serviced at least once a year.

Answer: Your hands and mouth may have grease and oils on them that can be transferred to your flute while playing. In order to reduce the amount of grease that comes in contact with your flute, wash your hands and face before playing. This will also reduce the amount of fingerprints that transfer to your flute. Jewelry, especially rings, can scratch or damage the exterior of your flute while you are playing. To reduce this potential damage, remove your rings before you play the flute. A professional will be able to clean and adjust the keypads without causing damage to the instrument. They can also take apart the smaller pieces of the flute for cleaning, tuning, and repair. To properly maintain your instrument, you should have it serviced at least once per year.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Invite people who you are comfortable and/or close with. Do not invite acquaintances just to fill up space at your party. Text/email your list of close friends to find out if they are free. Consider the group dynamics for an outing.

Answer:
This includes the people who both love you and who you really love. Make a list of your friends and friends that you would like to share your special day with. The people who come are going to be the most meaningful part of your special day. Twenty somethings report that there are 8-10 people who they feel close enough with to share emotional support. Thirty somethings give the number between 5-10, typically. Write down a list of the people who you feel that support from. You may want to let your close friends bring a friend or two. This might make the group more diverse while also keeping it a more intimate and meaningful celebration. Facebook makes it easy to invite a great big group of people to a get together. However, it can be difficult to estimate how many people will truly come. Additionally, being around many acquaintances on your birthday that you do not feel very connected to can end up making you feel more lonely on your birthday. This is not to say that there can be no acquaintances at your party. Having a few acquaintances there might be good for the group because they are new people. However, be intentional about the acquaintances you invite, and only invite a couple of people you do not know well. Do this about four weeks before your event. Tell your friends what day(s) you are thinking of getting a celebration together and ask them if/when they would be free. Ask them what days and times work best for them. Based on who responds and when they are free, you can start to think about what to do. If you want the group to be a little bigger, ask your friends if they would like to bring a friend or two to the outing. Ask them to get back to you when they know whether they will be attending alone or with a friend so you can plan accordingly. Talk to a couple of your closest friends. Tell them that you want to have a birthday celebration with your close friends. You can start to brainstorm who would be the best to get together for a celebration. You want to make sure that the group dynamics will mix well, and your friends might have good input for how that can work out. Consider having two different celebrations for you birthday. You can get brunch with one group of your friends or family in the morning, and go out for dinner and dancing with the other group, for instance.
