INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The electric bunching technique is easy to form but hard to predict. After dyeing the fabric, you should be left with several "shocks" of color dispersed at random through the cloth. You'll want to do so in small, random portions. Use one hand to hold your bunch together so they do not come loose and then draw the entire piece of fabric together into the shape of a ball. Keep as much of the cloth "face," or outer side of the fabric, exposed as possible. With one hand, hold the ball of fabric together. With your free hand, wrap several rubber bands around it to hold it together. You could also use twine or string to fasten your ball together, but in both cases, fasten your ball loosely. Fastening your ball too tightly can make it difficult for the dye to work its way into the core of the bunched fabric. This can create gaps in your dyed design. Use the minimum number of fasteners secured as loose as possible while still retaining the ball's shape. If you plan on using twine or string, it may be easiest to have a friend help you hold the bunched fabric while you tie, or vice versa. If no friends are available, lay of the string on the surface, set your ball atop the middle of the string while still holding the ball together with one hand, cross the ends of the string at the top of your ball, and use your free hand to tie a simple knot.

SUMMARY: Understand the effect. Bunch up the fabric. Fasten your ball together.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Because of increasing banking and identification security regulations in the United States, you will likely have difficulty finding a bank that will accept a third-party check. If you have a banking account and can deposit or cash the check written to you, it is almost certainly going to be easier for you to do that, then write your own check (or hand the cash) to the the third party. Signing over a check may seem like it would be more convenient (by cutting out the middleman, so to speak), but is unlikely to be so anymore. Look into electronic transfers of funds to your third party, either through your existing bank accounts or a service such as PayPal, if you are seeking another convenient option. If you: 1) have a check written to you; 2) don't have a bank account; and 3) need to pay a third party the amount of the check written to you, this is the only real scenario in which you might want to try to sign over a check. See Part III of this article for other options in this scenario. Ask the person if he/she has used a third-party check at his/her bank before. This will improve your chances of success, since there are no laws requiring banks to accept third-party checks. If you cannot contact the person immediately but know his/her bank branch, you can call the bank's customer service number to inquire about special endorsements of this kind. Ask if any special procedures are required by the bank to accept the third-party check. Some banks have enacted their own rules governing these procedures, such as requiring that both parties have accounts at the bank to ensure the funds can be transferred. Completing the signing process in person may be required by the bank and will almost certainly improve your chances of success regardless. Bring proper identification, especially if it is not also your bank.
Summary: Consider your options. Confirm that the person you want to endorse the check to, the third party, will accept a signed-over check. Confirm that the third party's bank accepts such checks and know the bank's particular procedures. Be prepared to go in person with the third party to his/her bank.

Hold the Home button for about 2-3 seconds. It may look like a pie chart, or it may say "Task manager." The button is in the bottom-left corner of the recent app list. A list of active applications will be displayed. You can see each running app's RAM and CPU usage. The most resource-hungry apps will be at the top of the list. This will force the app to quit, freeing those resources. Any apps you have open will be closed.

One-sentence summary -- Press and hold the Home button. Tap the "Task manager" button. Find the apps that are consuming the most resources. Tap "End" next to an app you want to close. Tap "End all" to close all active apps.

Q: If your vinyl is just looking weathered and faded, a heat gun can bring it back to life. Run the heat gun over the whole thing, moving back and forth so you don't stay in one spot too long. Basically, you want to gently melt the top layer of the vinyl, which in turn will give it a glossy shine. You can find heat guns in auto repair shops. Basically, they're like blow dryers, except they get much hotter, so they allow you to heat things that require higher temperatures. If you leave a heat gun over one spot for too long, the vinyl may come off. Run the heat gun over areas on vinyl trim in your car that have lost their grain. Keep going over the area so that the plastic begins to melt. It should look glossy before you move on to the next step. Put on a heat-proof glove to protect your hand from the heat. Place the paper grain-side down on the wet area. Hold it in place with your gloved hand over the area for 10-15 seconds, pressing down as you do. Peel the paper back and check on the repair. If it leaves bits of vinyl on the grain paper, make sure to scrap it off before doing the process again. Repeat if it didn't take the grain pattern the first time. Spray a vinyl resurfacing product over the whole object. Follow the directions on the product. Maintain a distance of about 1 foot (0.30m) and move over the product in a back-and-forth motion to create an even coating. Keep in mind that most resurfacing products won't fill in cracks and scratches. You should fill those in ahead of time as needed. Let it dry when you're done.
A: Run a heat gun over a weathered piece of vinyl. Use a heat gun to heat up spotty areas. Apply a piece of vinyl grain over the glossy area. Apply a resurfacing product over repairs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This type of virus places all files on your USB into a hidden folder and replaces them with shortcuts of their original names. You can usually tell you have a shortcut virus if you see small arrows over the file or folder icons. If you double-click any of these shortcuts, the virus will activate and spread to your PC.. If you're using Windows 10, try using the Using Windows Security (Windows 10) method first. If you're using Windows 8.1 or earlier, try the Using Microsoft Safety Scanner (Windows 8.1 and Earlier) method first. It's possible that Windows' own built-in antivirus software can fix the problem for you. If you're prompted to view the files on the drive or change your USB settings, just close the window for now. You'll need to know the drive letter of your USB drive (e.g., F: or D:) to remove the files. If you're not sure what it is, press the Windows key and the E key on the keyboard to open File Explorer, and then scroll down on the left panel to find your flash drive and corresponding drive letter. You may have to click an arrow or plus symbol next to "This PC" or "Computer" to see the drive. A list of results will appear. A menu will expand. This opens an administrator-level command prompt. You may be prompted to verify your password to open up the window. Be sure to include the colon (:) after the letter. For example, if your USB drive is the F drive, type F: and press the Enter key. To do this, type del *.lnk and hit the Enter key. To do this, type attrib -s -r -h /s /d *.* and press the Enter key. If your drive was infected by a shortcut virus, this should restore your files to their original locations safely. To see a list of files on the drive, type dir /s and press the Enter key.

SUMMARY:
Understand the shortcut virus. Plug the USB flash drive into your Windows PC. Press Win+S to open the Search bar. Type command prompt. Right-click Command prompt in the search results. Click Run as administrator. Type your USB drive letter and press Enter. Run the command to delete all shortcuts. Run the command to restore your hidden files.
