Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine if you are a wage earner. Find out your hourly salary. Multiply to calculate your annual salary if you work a fixed number of hours per week. Average your weekly number of hours if you work a different amount each week. Add in overtime payments if applicable. Adjust for sick time, vacation or a leave of absence.

Answer: A wage earner is paid by the hour. If you receive a pay rate per hour multiplied by the number of hours worked per week, then you are a wage earner. Another term for this is a non-exempt employee. Your paycheck may vary from week to week depending on the number of hours you work. If you work the same number of hours each week but you are still paid by the hour, then your paycheck may be the same each week, but you are still considered a wage earner. If you are not sure how much you earn per hour, ask your supervisor or someone in human resources. Alternately, calculate the information from your pay stub. Locate the total gross pay on your pay stub. Gross pay is your total salary before deductions for taxes and benefits. Divide that amount by the number of hours you worked in that pay period. For example, suppose your gross pay was $190 for a week in which you worked 10 hours. Calculate $190 / 10 = $19. Your hourly salary is $19 per hour. Multiply your hourly salary by the number of hours you work per week to calculate your weekly salary. Multiply this figure by 52, the number of weeks per year, to work out your annual salary.  For instance, if you work 40 hours per week and you earn $19 per hour, calculate your weekly salary by multiplying 40 x $19 = $760. Then calculate your annual salary by multiplying $760 x 52 = $39,520 If you work a different number of hours each week, keep track of your weekly hours for one month. Then find the average number of hours per week you worked, and multiply to find your annual salary.  For example, suppose in one month you worked 30 hours the first week, 25 hours the second week, 35 hours the third week and 40 hours the fourth week. Find the average weekly hours with the equation (30 + 25 + 35 + 40) / 4 = 32.5. If you earn $19 per hour, then calculate your annual salary with the equation (32.5 x $19) x 52 = $32,110. Keep track of your weekly hours with spreadsheet software or a time-tracking app. Some time-tracking apps are marketed to managers who have to keep track of hours for multiple employees. But individuals can also use them to manage their productivity. An employer must pay you overtime if you work more than 40 hours per week. The rate is one and a half times your regular rate of pay. Keep track of your regular and overtime hours each week for a period of four weeks. Calculate the average number of regular and overtime hours and work out your weekly and annual regular and overtime pay. Add these together to determine your annual salary.  Suppose in a four week period, you work 50 hours, 45 hours, 42 hours and 47 hours. If anything over 40 hours is overtime, then your weekly overtime is 10 hours, 5 hours, 2 hours and 7 hours. Calculate your average weekly overtime hours with the equation (10 + 5 + 2 + 7) / 4 = 6. If you earn $19 per hour, then calculate your overtime rate with the equation $19 x 1.5 = $28.5 Calculate your average regular weekly salary with the equation $19 x 40 = $760. Calculate your average weekly overtime pay with the equation $28.5 x 6 = $171. Add these two totals to get your total weekly salary $760 + $171 = $931. Multiply to find your annual salary with the equation $931 x 52 = $48,412. If you are paid for vacation or sick time, then you do not need to adjust any of your calculations. However, if you do not get paid for these absences, then this changes the number of weeks per year for which you get paid. Suppose, for example, that you take 2 weeks of unpaid vacation time per year. Then your work year is only 50 weeks instead of 52. Use the adjusted number of weeks per year to calculate your annual salary. To get an exact number, subtract hours for days each year when you don't work (holidays, vacation days). These should only be subtracted if they are unpaid. For example, if you only missed two days per year, you would subtract $19 x 8 hours per days x 2 days, or $304, from your annual salary.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Play the campaign. Play Extinction Mode. Master the controls. Play a private match.

Answer: If you have never played a Call of Duty game before or have never played a shooter before, this will be the best place to start. You can choose “Campaign” from the main menu. You will be given live tutorials while playing the game. The campaign does not give the same experience of playing against a live opponent and does not have any multiplayer capabilities, but you will see the difference once you are able to understand how the controls work. You can change the difficulty of the campaign before you play. You won’t need to complete the campaign in order to prepare yourself, but it will at least provide the basics on how the game plays overall. If you want to play team based games, Extinction mode is a survival mini game that can be played with three other players. Choose “Extinction” from the main menu. You can choose to play online by choosing “Online” or “Xbox Live.” You can also play with a friend in split-screen multiplayer by choosing “Local Play.” Work with others and communicate with team members to defeat hordes of enemies. Each Call of Duty game plays similar to one another, but will feature a few changes to make it easier to play the game compared to previous iterations.  If you have played a Call of Duty game before, you can easily understand the basics of movement, how to run, aim down your sights and activating streak rewards. If there are actions you would feel more comfortable with a different button or if you want to adjust your turning speed, you can adjust these under the “Control Options” in the “Options” menu. There are a few changes to how the game plays, such as the dolphin-dive move from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, now known as the run and slide. Initiate a sprint then press the crouch button to slide on your knees. If you press and hold the crouch button you will slide until you are lying down into the prone position. You can also lean around corners by standing toward a corner. Once you see an arrow appear near your aiming reticle, you can hold the aim button to lean in the direction the arrow was pointing. Private matches allow you to play against computer controlled opponents or “bots” that simulate playing against live opponents. You can also play the game with a friend with up to two players in split screen on consoles. Use private matches as an opportunity to see how unlocked weapons work. See how each weapon can be the most effective for you before trying to use them against live opponents.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Figure out how large you want your tattoo to be. Choose the placement of your tattoo. Decide between a full color, white, or black and gray tattoo. Work out your tattoo budget. Make sure to choose a design that makes you happy.

Answer:
Size is an important consideration for tattoos because it limits what kind of designs you can choose from. For instance, a very detailed portrait will not work for a very small area of skin. Alternatively, a very basic design like a music note might look odd if it is stretched out over a large part of the body.  Consult a tattoo artist for advice on size, design, and placement of your next tattoo. If you have a low tolerance for pain, opt for a smaller tattoo that will take less time. Before deciding to get a tattoo, you should decide how visible you want it to be and how it may be altered as your body ages. If you are not free to display your tattoos at work, do not choose an open area of your body to tattoo, such as your hands, wrists, ankles, lower arms, or neck. Ask your tattoo artist for advice about placement to avoid tattooing an area of the body that will stretch out and distort your tattoo, such as your lower abdomen. You should decide right off the bat what color scheme you want your tattoo to have. If you want a more subdued tattoo, a white or black and gray design is your best bet. If you want something bold, colorful, and fun, a full color tattoo is a great choice.  If you are unsure about this decision, note that you can always add color to your tattoo down the line. Before contacting tattoo artists to start planning your tattoo, you should know how much you are willing to spend on it. Good tattoo artists may charge $250 or more per hour for their work, and some tattoos will require multiple sessions. Be clear with any artists you speak to about how much you have to spend and get estimates for what the tattoo you envision will cost in total. Factor in a tip amount of at least 20% for your tattoo artist. Before settling on a tattoo design, make sure that it is something you will enjoy looking at for the rest of your life. If you love nature, for example, a tattoo of a sunrise, bird, tree, or butterfly will reflect your personal  affinity for the outdoors. Avoid settling on anything popular or trendy that does not actually bring you joy. When you have a few options sketched out, take your time and just look at all of them. Which one brings you a sense of pleasure? Which one feels like it's about you? Go for that one.
