INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you really care about the girl, this will be easy. The best way to say sweet things to a girl you’re dating is to show that you care about what’s going on in her life. Say sweet things about her work, or her school, or how she interacts with her family if that’s important to her. You’ll know. If she played poorly in a game, or failed a test, or whatever it may be, you can be there for her.  Try to make her laugh, help give her perspective, or show that you care. Tell her that you love her no matter what, and that you like her just as much when things are going well as when things are going poorly. Ask what you can do to help. Say something like, "I'm sorry the game went poorly, but I can tell you that I think this relationship is going really well" Come up to her while she’s doing her homework and give her a big hug. Tell her something nice, like that she smells good, or that she looks really cute doing her work. It’s really nice when you aren’t expecting it to hear something like that. “I love you” is a strange phrase. It means so much when you say it, but one “I love you” doesn’t last for ever. People need constant affirmation and reassurance. If you offer this to your girlfriend without her asking, she will really appreciate it. Just tell her how happy you feel every morning to wake up next to her. Send her a text telling her how much you appreciate having her around. It doesn’t have to be sappy. You can just call out to her while she’s making herself some breakfast and say “Hey! I like you.” This could be parts of her body or her personality. Maybe she feels like she isn’t very athletic, or that she’s bad at talking to people, or that her ears are too big. Whatever it is, you’ll probably know. Without being incredibly obvious about it, try to mention how much you like these things. Tell her you love how she’s reserved around people instead of trying to be the center of attention. Trace her ears when you’re sitting together on the couch and mention how much you like them. Don’t lie, just find what she doesn’t like about herself and love it.

SUMMARY: Pay attention. Boost her spirits when she is down. Say something nice at unexpected times. Offer daily affirmation. Compliment the parts of her that she is insecure about.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set the sample to the side of the room. Then, get your water sprayer and mist down the entire area. The goal is to spray everything in the room, even the plastic sheeting on the floor. This helps any stray asbestos particles to stay down. Get any type of interior paint. Dip your brush into it and coat the spot where you took the sample. This will keep the opened sample area from releasing any potentially dangerous dust over time. Throw the brush and paint away after use. If you took a large sample, then you might want to add some drywall paste to the area before painting. Dip your drywall knife into the compound container. Then, apply the compound paste to the wall. Use your drywall knife to smooth over the area. This will make your sample spot less noticeable. Roll up the plastic flooring from one end to the other. Then, place it into a large garbage bag. Seal the bag up with tape at the top to prevent any fibers from escaping into the air. You can also put on a fresh pair of gloves at this point. Place your old ones in the trash bag. Pull out your vacuum and go over the entire floor. When you are finished, take out the vacuum bag and throw it away. If you have a bagless vacuum, wipe down the inside of the canister with a damp paper towel. Throw the used towels away. When you are finished with the entire project, place your outer clothing, gloves, and mask into a trash bag. Then, tape up the top and throw it all away.
Summary: Perform another round of water misting. Paint the sampled area. Dispose of the plastic sheeting. Vacuum the room. Dispose of your clothing and gear.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start with the goal of the game and work backwards to figure out what players will need to do to get there. Ideally, the rules you create should be simple, logical, and consistent, so that the game plays out the same way every time (with different results, of course).  In many classic board games, players roll dice and move their game piece a certain number of spaces depending on the number that comes up. More sophisticated games, like "Thunderstone" or "Settlers of Catan," challenge players to build strong card decks or score points in order to win. For a game with a “paperboy” theme, players might roll to complete their newspaper route before the school bell rings while encountering obstacles like lawn sprinklers and unfriendly dogs on the gameboard. Keep them extremely basic at first. Little by little, you can make your rule system more intricate by adding secondary objectives, random events, or penalties for making poor decisions. Different types of games will work better with a different number of players. Most board games are designed for 2-4 players, but it may be possible for as many as 6 people to participate if the rules are simple and there are enough cards or pieces to go around.  Keep in mind that the more people you have playing, the more difficult it will be to make the game mechanics work. A head-to-head strategy game could be played by as few as 2-3 people, whereas one that involves identifying a criminal from a lineup of suspects would benefit from having more players in order to make the gameplay more of a challenge. Your game might call for individual player pieces, cards, tokens, or any number of other components, depending on the theme and specific mechanics. The choice of what type of item will be used to perform the different actions is ultimately up to you. However, it will be best to go with accessories that are most practical for accomplishing the game’s goal. Stick to 1 or 2 components to keep the gameplay from getting convoluted. Players who are forced to juggle cards, coins, dice, and a pen-and-paper scorekeeping system will quickly find themselves overwhelmed. Now that you have an idea of how your game will play out, envision the exact form it will take. Designate your starting and ending points, draw out spaces, and mark where important pieces will be played. Be sure to label what each element is and describe how players will interact with them. When you’re finished, you’ll have a working blueprint for your game.  The simplest game boards are there to direct the players’ movements. Others might serve as a platform for laying down cards and reading their outcomes, or provide clues for solving puzzles. Commit a crude version of your game board to paper as soon as an idea hits you. This will make it easier for you to work out any remaining kinks without losing the thread of the game.

SUMMARY:
Devise a set of rules. Determine how many players the game will have. Decide what type of objects the game will use. Design the layout of the board.
