Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut the fabric to as wide and long as you'd like the vest to be. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise and horizontally. Draw a curved line in the upper corner of the folded fabric. Cut out the curved line to make the neckline. Unfold the fabric and cut the center of the vest so it opens. Trim the edges of the vest if desired.

Answer: Unfold about 134 yards (1.6m) of fabric on a flat work surface. Then, use sharp scissors to cut the fabric so it's twice as long as you want the vest to end up. You'll also need to cut the fabric so it's as wide as you want the vest to be. Since you're folding this fabric before you cut it, you'll need to keep it twice as long as you want the vest once you fold it. Since the fabric should already be as wide as you like and twice as long as it needs to be, you can just fold the fabric in half lengthwise. Then, fold it horizontally. Your fabric should now look like a rectangle. Use a ruler and make a mark 3 inches (7.6cm) across from the upper corner of the folded fabric. Then, measure and mark 2 inches (5.1cm) down from the upper corner of the folded fabric and draw a curved line to connect the 2 marks. You can mark on the fabric with chalk or washable marker. Try to cut as smooth a line as possible so the neckline of your vest looks even. You can discard the scrap of fabric you cut out. Depending on the type of fabric you used, you might still be able to see a fold like from when you folded the fabric in half. You can use this as a guide or just cut a straight line from the bottom center of the front up to the neckline that you cut. Your fabric should now look like a vest and you can try it on. Decide if you'd like to cut more of the front fabric at an angle near the neckline, for instance. You can also style your vest by cutting the bottom edges into curves or points.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Say "om suastiastu". Use the right gestures. Try some alternative greetings. Say hello in Bahasa Indonesian.

Answer: To say "hello" in Balinese you should say "om suastiastu." The Balinese language has a different alphabet to Western languages, so this transcribing of the phrase for hello is written as it is pronounced in Balinese. This is a kind of pidgin version of Balinese that makes it easier for people to speak certain phrases without learning the Balinese alphabet and script. Pronounce the phrase as it is spelled. It might help to think of it in three parts "Om Swasti Astu." Place a slight emphasis on the "Om" and the repeated "ast" sounds. "Om SwASti AStu." You can listen to a recording of someone saying "om suastiastu" online to listen for the pronunciation. The greeting translates as "peace and greetings from God." The person will reply with the same phrase "om suastiastu." In Balinese culture you traditionally accompany words of greeting with a gesture. To be as polite and respectful as possible to the person you are greeting, you should hold your hands in front of your chest, in a praying position with the palms together and fingers pointed up. This is a traditional Hindu greeting, which has in recent years become more commonly used. Many people will greet you with a light handshake. Some people may touch their chest afterwards, as part of a greeting ritual. You can also try out some alternative Balinese greetings, which enable you to say things such as good morning and good evening. Having a slightly wider repertoire of greetings will help you feel a little more in tune with your Balinese hosts. To say good morning, say "rahajeng semeng." To say good evening, say "rahajeng wengi." Another very common language spoken in Bali is Bahasa Indonesian, so why not learn some basic greetings in this language too? It is common to just say "Halo" or "Hi" to greet people. It is also common to greet someone by saying "how are you?" which translates as "Apa kabar?" Other commonly used greetings will depend on what time of day it is. Good morning translates as "Selamat pagi." Good afternoon is "Selamat siang." To say good evening, say "Selamat sore." For goodnight, say "Selamat malam." You can practice your pronunciation by listening to the phrases spoken correctly online.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a full meal plan for the week. Build in 1-3 meatless days per week. Factor leftovers into your weekly menu. Prioritize seasonal fruits and veggies in your menu. Write a specific shopping list and don't deviate from it. Cook meals in batches and freeze them weekly or monthly.

Answer: Whether you're going gluten-free or not, this is one of the best ways to save money on food. By planning your menu for the week ahead, you'll know exactly what you needand don't needto buy at the store. Use a mix of recipe books, online inspiration, requests from household members, and your own creativity to come up with a full plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for the week. Eating out is always pricier than cooking at home, and even more so when you need GF options. But you might schedule 1-2 "eating out" meals per week in your menu. If you're going both gluten-free and vegan, you'll have no problem here! And, even if you're not, cutting out meat for part of the week will definitely cut down on your grocery bill. Meat products are often among the most expensive fresh food items at the grocery store. Compare the cost of ingredients for making a GF vegetarian chili versus one with beef in it, for example. GF foods like mushrooms, lentils, beans, and potatoes can be used as meat replacements in many dishes. Search online for recipe ideas. Instead of trying to avoid ending up with leftovers, view them as an opportunity to save some time and money. Use one night's leftovers in one of the following day's meals, and you'll cut back on the amount you have to buy and any potential food wastage. For instance, Monday's roast chicken can become part of Tuesday's chicken enchiladas. Or, every 2-3 days, set aside a meal as just "leftovers" and plan on reheating whatever's remaining in the fridge. In-season produce nearly always costs less at the grocery store, so plan your menu accordingly. Buy and use more asparagus, peppers, squash, apples, and so on when they're most abundant and affordable where you live. Look for farmer's markets and fruit stands in your area to get local, in-season produce. Once you've come up with your weekly menu, write down exactly what you need to get, including the amounts. Remind yourself and anyone shopping with you that your job is to buy exactly what's on the list and nothing more. Some grocers now offer online ordering and curbside pickup, which may make it easier for you to limit yourself to buying only what you need on your list. Don't grocery shop when you're hungry. Otherwise, you'll be more likely to impulse-buy things that aren't on your list. Once you get used to planning your meals in advance, consider moving on to cooking all your meals a week or even month ahead of time. There are many ways to do "batch cooking," but it essentially means cooking lots of meals all at once and freezing them for future use. You may want to dedicate one afternoon a week, or perhaps even just one a month, to doing your batch cooking. Some people join batch cooking clubs with friends and neighbors and exchange some of their bulk cooking with each other. You might need to invest in a separate freezer if you become a dedicated batch cooker.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch your piercer. Sit still. Use implant grade material. Use new needles. Throw away the needles.

Answer:
If they take you into a room without sufficient lighting, question it. They should be able to see what they are piercing. Also, watch them wash their hands and put on sterile gloves. If they already have gloves on, you are completely justified in asking them to re-wash their hands and replace the gloves with new ones. While you're getting your nose pierced, try to stay as still as possible for your piercer. It is a small pinch just like any other piercing, and you'll only feel it for a second. Titanium and surgical steel are good substitutes, but most piercers include the price of a surgical steel piece of jewellery in the price of the piercing. If you ask for gold, titanium, and niobium (niobium is the material least likely to irritate your skin) the piercer may add an additional cost. The needles that they use should be brand new and in sterilized sealed pouches. You should see them open the sealed packages. If you get into the room and the needles are already open, you are once again justified in asking for new ones. Your piercer should throw away the needles in a biohazard container after using them. They should also provide after-care instructions at this point. Most piercing salons will carry the cleaner that they are going to recommend to you.
