INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Generally, if a work has multiple authors you must list all of their names in the citation entry on your reference list. In APA style, you list the last name followed by a comma, then the author's first initial and middle initial. For instance, an author named Francis Leanne Montgomery would be listed as "Montgomery, F. L." If the author's middle name or initial is not provided, just use their first initial. For example, "Powell, J." Separate names of authors with commas. Check to make sure you have a comma after each last name and after each set of initials. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., Summers, P. T., & Autumnwood, S." When you have multiple authors, the order of their names typically is negotiated by the authors themselves. Keep the order intact as chosen by the authors. Alphabetize entries in your reference list by the last name of the first author listed. In your reference list, use an ampersand (&) rather than spelling out the word and to indicate the end of your list. If everyone listed is an editor, follow the last name with a comma and the abbreviation "eds." The ampersand is always preceded by a comma. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., & Davis, T." The year the work was published follows immediately after your list of names in parentheses. Then, add a period outside the closing parenthesis. For example: "Sunshine, S. J., Summers, P. T., & Autumnwood, S. (2010)." There is no comma between the last author's initial and the opening parenthesis. After the date, your citation next must let your readers know the complete title of the work. Capitalize the title just as you would a sentence. This means often only the first word is capitalized. If the work also has a subtitle, include it after a colon. You'll also capitalize the first word of the subtitle. The title may be in italics, depending on the type of work you're citing. This stays the same regardless of the number of authors. For example, a book title would be italicized, but an article in a scholarly journal would not be italicized. The rest of your citation tells your readers where the work was published. The type of information included depends on the nature of the source and how you retrieved it. For example, if you're citing a book written by 3 authors, your citation might be "Calfee, R. C., & Valencia, R. R. (1991). APA guide to preparing manuscripts for journal publication. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association."

SUMMARY: List all authors by last name and first and middle initials. Order the authors' names as they appear on the title page. Include an ampersand before the last author's name. Provide the year of publication in parentheses. Include the complete title of the work. Finish by noting the publication information.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take a hot shower and let the water wash over your face for five minutes. You'll open up your pores and soften whiskers, making shaving much easier. You may also wrap a hot towel around your face like barbers do for their customers. Soak a small towel in hot water and hold it firmly against your face until the towel cools. Dump out the water in your mug or bowl. Replace it with nickel-sized dollop of shaving cream or the entire soap cake. Soaps are the cheaper option and are made with a high fat, vegetable oil glycerine mixture. Creams are similar to soaps and you should look for ones with natural essential oils like jojoba or coconut oil. Avoid common shaving gels and foams. Although you can use these, they won't give you as good of a shave as quality soaps and creams.
Summary: Hydrate your face with hot water. Place shaving cream or soap on the bottom of your shaving mug.

Protect your work on the railings and trim by taping off areas where they meet the stairs. Also tape off where the stairs meet the floor upstairs and downstairs. You may also want to put down drop cloths at the top and the bottom of the stairs, although you can typically get away without them if you are painting carefully with a brush. Talk to an employee at your local paint store about which products will work best for your specific project. In general, the treads and risers should be painted with an oil-based paint that also contains a sealer so that it holds up to constant traffic. However, water-based floor and patio paints are made to be stepped on, so they hold up well on stairs as well. When purchasing primer, consider asking a paint store employee to tint it to help with coverage. This is especially important if you have a strong final coat color. A tinted primer will ensure that your top coats cover the primer color more easily and will reduce the number of top coats you need to do. Beginning at the top of the stairs, paint the first stair completely. Then skip a stair and paint the third stair down. Continue like this, working your way down so that you can have room to move as you work and so that you can leave areas alone once you paint them. Painting every other step will allow you to use the stairs as they dry. Use a brush to paint the stairs so that you can get into all of the corners easily. Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on with your finish coats. This usually takes anywhere from an hour to 4 hours, depending on the exact paint you are using. Read the label on the primer for drying times and check the primer for dryness. Start at the top again but paint the steps that haven't been primed yet: the second, fourth, and so on. Continue down until all of the steps have been primed. Start painting at the top of the stairs, making sure you completely coat the top step before moving down to the third one. Work the paint into the corners of each stair and then finish by painting smooth strokes over the big surfaces while smoothing out any blobs of paint near the corners. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying a second coat, and potentially a third. Be sure that you are getting a solid coat of paint in all of the corners, including under the front lip of each stair. You will know a third coat is necessary if you can still see primer after the second coat is dry. Once the first set of stairs are completely dry, which usually takes about a day, go back and paint the others. Work your way down, painting the second step first and then moving down to the fourth and so on. Once each coat is completely dry, you can apply an additional coat.

One-sentence summary -- Tape off areas around the stairs. Pick a primer and paint that are designed for use on floors or stairs. Start painting the primer at the top and paint every other step on the way down. Paint the primer on the other steps once the first set is dry. Paint 2 to 3 coats of the finish coat on every other step. Paint 2 to 3 coats of the finish paint on the rest of the stairs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To hold your homemade cuticle oil, you'll need a small glass bottle that's approximately the size of a nail polish container. Rinse the bottle out well with water to ensure that it's clean, and then allow it to dry upside for a couple of hours to ensure there's no excess moisture inside. A bottle with a medicine dropper top is a good option for the oil because it makes it easy to apply a small amount. A bottle with a roller ball top also works well for the oil.

SUMMARY:
Clean and dry a small glass bottle.
