Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open a 529 savings plan. Invest in a 529 prepaid tuition plan. Buy savings bonds for college. Invest in Coverdell ESAs and custodial accounts.

Answer: A "529 Plan" gets its name from section 529 of the U.S. Tax Code, which establishes such plans and the tax benefits connected to them. A 529 Plan allows you to invest money, and the income from the investments will grow tax-free. In addition to saving on federal taxes, there may be benefits on state taxes as well, depending on the state where you live. For more detailed information on establishing a 529 account, check out Choose a 529 Account. 529 Plans exist as either "Direct Sold" savings programs, which you buy directly from a plan manager, or as "Broker Sold" plans, which you arrange through a financial adviser. You may need to pay professional fees for a broker sold plan, but you get the benefit of the financial adviser's experience. To review the plans that are available, you can visit www.SavingforCollege.gov, which provides a list of all the plans available, state by state. You can review the plans, get details on the investment possibilities, and even enroll right there online. Prepaid tuition plans are sponsored by the government of individual states. To set up a prepaid tuition plan, you will contact your state's prepaid tuition program and select a contract. A contract allows you to make periodic payments toward the future estimated tuition costs. The contract sets tuition at today's current rates, for future attendance. As you make periodic contractual payments, the money is set aside in the form of credits, which you will then use when you attend college. To find the prepaid tuition plans available in your state, just search online for "prepaid tuition plan" and the name of your state. You will find the state office that manages the plans, along with information about how to enroll and begin investing. The money that you invest in a prepaid tuition plan is generally fully refundable if it is not ultimately used to attend college. However, you should check with the plan manager for specific details and possible fees. Buying federal savings bonds from the U.S. Treasury allows you to make an investment in college that will enjoy some tax benefits, while encouraging you to save money. You can purchase education savings bonds online at www.treasurydirect.gov, in amounts ranging from $25 to $10,000. The maximum purchase is $10,000 per year. The interest that you earn on federal savings bonds can then be excluded from your taxable income when you cash in the bonds to attend college. To purchase bonds, visit www.treasurydirect.gov and open a personal account by using the link "Open an Account" in the top right. You will need to provide some confidential identifying information. From there, you will be able to make investments, purchase bonds, and manage your account. For more information on the tax benefits of savings bonds, see the IRS Publication 970, "Tax Benefits for Education," available at www.irs.gov. For specific help regarding the tax benefits of savings bonds, you should speak with an accountant, tax lawyer or other tax professional. A Coverdell Educational Savings Account (ESA) is a way to invest money, through a broker or financial adviser, that provides great flexibility and tax advantages. Contributions are not tax-deductible, but the investment earnings are tax-deferred, and withdrawals that are used for education costs are tax-free. To establish a Coverdell ESA, contact a brokerage firm, mutual fund company, or other financial investment institution.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put painters tape around the sections for your lightest color. Cut corners and points in the tape with a razor. Paint 2 coats of paint in the taped off sections. Peel off the tape immediately after applying the second coat. Let the first color dry completely. Continue taping and painting until you've finished the pattern. Touch up mistakes with an artist's paintbrush.

Answer: Apply painters tape in a straight line along each edge of the sections where you will paint your lightest color. The inner edge of the painter's tape should be lined up with the pencil outline of that color. Painters tape will easily peel off once you're done with it. It's best to start with your lightest color and work your way up to the darker colors. The tape helps you paint smooth, straight lines. Make sure the tape is tightly attached to the plywood. If you have 2 overlapping pieces of painters tape at a corner, you can cut them away to make a sharp point. Line up your straight edge where you want to make the cut and cut the tape with a razor blade or x-acto knife. Then, peel off the bit of tape you sliced to reveal a sharp corner. Be very careful with the blade. If you are a kid, get an adult to help with this step. Use an exterior latex paint. Paint inside the tape lines for all the sections that are in your first color. You can use a paintbrush, a paint roller, or even a makeup sponge to apply the paint. Paint right up to the tape line and a little bit on top of the tape. That way, you'll have a crisp, full block of color. You don't have to wait for your paint to totally dry before giving it a second coat just leave it for a few minutes. You should peel off the tape while the second coat of paint is still wet, so that it leaves behind a smooth line. Peel slowly and carefully to avoid smudging. Don't worry if there are a few spots where the paint bled through the tape, because you will touch up those spots at the end. Remember to let the paint dry thoroughly before you put more tape down. It may take about an hour or more for your paint to dry, so leave your barn quilt be and go do something else to keep yourself occupied. It's really important to wait for the first color to dry completely, because if you tape over wet paint it will smudge. Tap the paint lightly with your finger to check if it's dry. If you are in a humid place, it will take even longer for your paint to dry. Remember to be patient and let each paint color dry thoroughly before moving onto the next color. Use a fresh paintbrush for each color. Remove the painters tape when you've done your last color and admire your work. There will probably be a few small spots where one color accidentally bled over onto the other color. Using a small artist's paintbrush, cover up the mistakes with a little bit of the correct color. Putting your pinky down helps keep your hand steady as you paint. If you don't trust your freehanding skills, you can also put a bit of painters tape down on the line you want to fix.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Buy lychee fruit from a grocery store or farmer's market. Purchase seeds online if you can't find fresh fruit. Clean the seed with water and paper towels. Soak the seed in room-temperature water for 3 days.

Answer:
Go ahead and choose a few of the lovely round fruits and save the brown seeds inside. Lychee fruit will be available during the typical lychee season, usually throughout May, June, and July in the Northern hemisphere. Make sure the fruit you get is fresh and completely ripe. The skin will be dark red, almost purple, and the bumps will flatten due to the amount of juice and sugar inside. Large seeds germinate better than smaller seeds. Seeds are only good for a few days once they've been removed from the fruit, so plant them right away. Don't buy lychee fruit until you're ready. There are plenty of online retailers that will ship you lychee seeds that are ready for planting. Just be aware that seeds taken from fresh fruit have a higher germination rate. Enjoy the delicious snack first, then clean off all remnants of fruit and you'll have a beautiful burgundy seed that's ready to become a tree. Get the seed wet, and then roll it gently around in the paper towel. This will remove any lingering debris. To increase the chance of germination, fill a cup or bowl with water and submerge the seed completely. After a few days, the brownish husk will begin to crack, which is a telltale sign that the seed is about to sprout. The water can be tap or bottled. Replace the water every day to maintain freshness.
