Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash and dry your arm and hand. Cut your own Kinesio tape. Apply tape to your forearm first. Apply tape around your wrist next.

Answer: Make sure to wash your forearm, wrist and hand thoroughly before applying Kinesio tape as moisture and skin oils reduce adhesion to skin. If you don't want to use an alcohol-based cleaner, consider using white vinegar or lemon juice to remove any tough grime from your skin. An alternative to shaving hairy arms is to remove hair with wax (temporary fix) or laser treatments (more of a permanent treatment). Allow you skin a day or two to heal from the hair removal procedure before applying Kinesio tape. If you bought a roll of Kinesio tape online or from your therapist, then you'll need to cut three pieces to approximately the same lengths (as mentioned above) with some sharp scissors. The longest piece should be about 12 inches (30cm), and two shorter pieces should be between 46 inches long depending on the diameter of your wrist. Measure your wrist with a tape measure and then add an inch or so to figure out how much tape to cut. All cut strips should be trimmed with round corners so its more difficult for the edges to pull off your skin. When cutting adhesive tape, make sure your scissors are sharp and clean so it's easier to cut through the glue on the back. Use alcohol wipes to clean the scissors if needed. The first piece of cut tape you should apply is to your forearm, as it will act as an anchor for the band of tape you later put on your wrist. Before applying the tape, don't forget to flex your wrist down so that your forearm muscles are under tension. Place the tape directly over the muscles, which make up the most fleshy part of your forearm. Do not put tape over the elbow bone. The Kinesio tape may seem flimsy, but studies show that it impacts tension in muscle tissue and can prevent your wrist from flexing too much and increasing CTS symptoms. Once the forearm piece is down as an anchor, firmly apply a shorter piece around your wrist a second piece might provide more support, as noted above, especially if you have a larger wrist with strong tendons and ligaments. With your role of Kinesio tape in hand, cut a piece long enough to wrap completely around your wrist without stretching the tape. Add a second band of tape to you wrist for better support, but wrap it in the opposite direction. Make sure the "joint" of the first piece is fully overlapped by the second. Reapply the tape within three to five days as noted above.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Arrange the hood over the neckline. Sew around the shared seam. Zigzag stitch over the raw edge. Try it on.

Answer: Pin the hood to the neckline of the base garment, matching up the center and endpoints precisely. The base garment should be right-side out and the hood should be lining-side out. Fold the hood over and around the top of the garment so that the exterior side of the hood faces the outside of the garment. Begin by matching the bottom center of the hood with the back center of of the garment's neckline. Fold the sides of the hood over, matching the corners to the center front of the neckline. Once the center and endpoints are pinned in place, continue pinning around the rest of the bottom edge to secure the hood evenly around the neckline. Sew a straight stitch from one endpoint and around the back of the neckline, stopping only when you reach the other endpoint. Use the same 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) seam allowance used on your other hood edges. When finished, the bottom edge of the hood should be firmly attached to the neckline of the garment. Work back over the exposed raw edge of the hood with a zigzag stitch. Place the stitch as close to the raw edge as possible. The threads of this stitch should lock the edge in place and prevent it from fraying as you wear the hood. The project is now complete. Put on the garment and flip the hood over your head to test it out and admire your own handiwork.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Gather your thoughts. Set aside some time to talk. Tell them how you feel. Listen. Ask them out. Give them some time to think. Use your common interests to create an ideal date.

Answer:
Begin to think about all of the reasons why you like your friend and want to date them. This is crucial so that you can articulate this to them and so that you don't make a mistake and ask them out just because you are lonely. Make a pros and cons list for asking your friend out. For example, a pro might be that you both have very similar interests and have a good time together. A con might be if they are selfish or your general fear of ruining the friendship should the relationship go awry. Ask your friend if they have some time to talk to you about something. Find a time that works well for the both of you. Meet in a place that is quiet so that others won't overhear the conversation. You can also have this talk over the phone if you are nervous. Consider writing a letter if you feel that this will help you better articulate your thoughts. Now is the time to open up to your friend about your feelings. Be very honest and genuine with them and try not to be overly dramatic. Talk to them about how your feelings for them have evolved from friendly to romantic. You might say something like "This has been on my heart for a while. I think you are so wonderful and to be honest, I like you as more than a friend." After you have told them how you feel, allow them some time to also express themselves. Avoid preparing your next response to them in your head; truly and actively listen and hear them. You might want to say something like "Well, now you know how I feel. What do you think about us going out some time?" Answer any questions that they might have. If they respond positively to your talk and indicate that they like you or would want to explore a romance, too, then ask them out. You might say something like "So, I was wondering, will you go out with me this Friday night?" Recognize that this all may feel very new to your best friend and they may need some time to think about whether they are interested or if they want your relationship to change. Assure them that you don't need an answer right now and are willing to wait on them. If your friend agreed to a date on the spot, then great! Or perhaps they did not give you an answer yet but you feel that they will go out with you. Take some items to plan out a fun date for the two of you that aligns with your interests, but is still romantic in nature. Perhaps you might plan a romantic picnic in the park or a date to the movies. Base the date around something that you are both interested in or something that your friend really likes, such as a concert of their favorite band. Since this is a new experience for both of you, consider choosing an activity that you have both been interested in trying, such as the new mini golf place that just opened.
