In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It doesn't have to be super full, but must be able to fully coat the entire bill from one end to the other. The basin though, has to have a flat bottom for this fix to hold. It doesn't matter what side the bill is placed in the basin with, for the side facing you, however, for simplicity, start with the front side facing you first. Be careful of the temperature of the water. Although the water should be warm, it should never be scalding hot, as this could cause the bill to loose color. About a teaspoon or two might be enough. Two teaspoons will make it stiffer yet, but even closer to brand new than just the one teaspoon. Rub the bill from one end to the other. Don't apply too much pressure that the bill's ink begins to come off, otherwise it will have no legal tender on it. Apply enough pressure, like you were brushing your hair- steady pressure running up and down the bill. Rub the bill in circles with the bristle brush. Never rub straight across otherwise the bill's ink will smear and that's not good! Repeat the process with the bristles to the back side of the bill. The soap helps restore the crispness that the bill once had when it came from the factory. Listen for the little "ticks"; these ticking sounds are the water droplets evaporating from the newly washed bill. Again, the side you begin with really doesn't matter. Don't ever spray any of the water from the iron onto the bill, unless the iron is sticking to the bill for some reason. The bill should now look closer to new than it once was.
Summary: Place the dollar bill into a water basin that is full of water. Dribble a little bit of kitchen soap into the area where the bill is in the basin. Use a bristle brush to gently rub the bill with the soapy water. Turn the bill over when you have rubbed the bill's front side with the brush, and lay the back side of the bill face down in the same basin. Remove the bill when both sides have been "cleaned". Iron the bill out with an iron and ironing board. Iron the opposite side of the bill out. Finish up.

Your screw should be long enough to penetrate completely through the wood and at least 1 inch (2.5cm) into the concrete. Measure the depth of your wood and concrete objects, and purchase screws that will fasten the wood securely. Although 1 inch (2.5cm) of concrete penetration is the minimum, deeper penetration will result in a stronger hold. The longer your screws are, the tighter they will connect the wood and concrete. Concrete screws are the newest method of fastening wood to concrete and generally the most popular because they are easy to remove. The holes should be approximately the same diameter as the screws that you're using. Drill completely through the wood and about 14 inch (0.64cm) deeper than the screw's length into the concrete. Mark the holes in the concrete and wood using a permanent marker first to make sure your holes are precise. Blow the residual dust out of the concrete hole using a vacuum or syringe blower. Copper wire ensures that the concrete screws will fit tightly into the hole. Cut a piece of copper wire approximately the same length as the concrete and wood hole, and thread it through the holes before you drive the screw in. Use a drill or screwdriver to drive the screw completely through the wood and concrete holes. If you are driving multiple screws, use the first screw you drive in as a test screw to make sure the hole is deep enough and you've used enough wire. You will know that you have used enough copper wire if the screw fits tightly into the hole and the connection between the wood and concrete is not loose or wobbly. Thread extra copper wire through the hole if it's too large for the screw.

One-sentence summary -- Select concrete screws based on the length of the intended hole. Predrill holes into the concrete and wood. Insert a piece of copper wire into the holes. Drive the screw through the wood and concrete.

Problem: Article: Think about why your boyfriend wants to break up and have empathy for him. Is his dealing with a stressful situation with family or having a hard time with work or school? Try to be there for him instead of nagging him about being with you or spending time together. Try having dinner ready when he gets home a few nights a week. Offer to help him with any projects he might have. Placing yourself in his shoes may help you figure out why he's behaving the way he is. It may also help you find a solution. If your relationship is good, there shouldn't be issues every day. But, good relationships also mean that you have the space to talk about the issues you do have in a healthy way. When these problems arise, speak to your partner about them calmly and with love. You can say something like, "It bothers me that you won't go to my cousin's wedding with me. I love you and want you to spend more time with me and my family." Urge your partner to do the same, and to speak up when issues arise so that you want work on them. Neither of you should bottle up frustrations. If you've been doing things that bother your boyfriend, consider stopping them. You might find that convincing him to stay with you is simple if you make some changes to your behavior. Work to be a better partner for him everyday. For instance, always be honest with him. Honesty is fundamental to any relationship. If you are a bit selfish, stop to think from his perspective before asking for things. Don't give in if he is asking for unreasonable things. For instance, if he doesn't like your friends and wants you to stop seeing them, he's being controlling. Consider your boyfriend's behavior. Does he break up with you often? Does he refuse to compromise even in small ways? He might be manipulating you by asking to break up just so he can control you. Get out of this relationship now so he can't continue this behavior. If he really cared about the relationship, he would try to find solutions to problems, rather than threaten to break up in order to get his way. Maybe you and your boyfriend have been together for so long that things feel really routine and boring. Spice it up a bit! Surprise him with a date night and come looking your best. Flirt with him and lean in for a long kiss when you're in the movies or watching TV. Try doing something new with him, such as taking a dance class or a painting class. Anything that gets the two of you working together would help. Space is crucial to any relationship's success. Even if he's still on the fence about breaking up with you, create some distance. Don't always answer his calls and don't respond immediately to his texts. Plan nights out with your friends and take up a new hobby to occupy some of your time. Don't use this as a means to manipulate him or control him. There are some instances where answering that call would be necessary. Rather than spending every day together, try spending every weekend together instead. You don't need to be together 24/7 in order to be a couple. Giving each other space might help you miss each other and grow closer as a result. If you spend too much time together, you might get bored of each other.
Summary:
Put yourself in his shoes. Check-in when there are issues. Adjust any behaviors you agree are bad. Break up with him if he threatens to break up with you all the time. Reignite the spark. Give each other some space.
