Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify your criteria. Get out into the world. Try new activities. Be open to different types of people. Make friends with women.

Answer: Think about the things that you definitely want in a girlfriend. Perhaps you want to find someone who shares your religious views, or someone who definitely wants children. Identify your “must-haves” in a potential girlfriend.  Think about both major and minor criteria. Someone with the same life views as you is probably important. But you might also think about whether you want someone who will run marathons with you, or someone who will binge-watch TV with you, or someone who works in the same industry as you. While you may want a girlfriend who you think is extremely physically attractive, avoid putting this at the top of your list. Your relationship should be based on something less superficial than good looks. Chances are, you’re not going to meet anyone if you stay holed up in your house. Get out of your usual routines and hang out in public places where you might meet new people. Think about visiting these types of places frequently:  Grocery store Bookstore or library Coffee shop Park Hiking trail Music shop If you’re having trouble finding potential women to date, you may need to try something new to open up your circle of acquaintances. Try a new hobby or join a club, such as skiing or hiking.  Try to have some level of interest in the activity. Don’t just pretend to like an activity because there are lots of girls doing it too. Otherwise, you will start off a potential relationship with falseness. If you are in school, try taking a different type of class than what you normally take. Even if you don’t feel like you’re a creative person, you might take art or drama class. You can get to know this girl in one of her favorite classes. You may have a very particular idea about what kind of woman you’re attracted to. But there are all types of people with whom you can become very good friends and potentially romantic partners. Try not to judge a book by its cover. Expand your social circle by getting more women friends. You may have initially considered a woman as potential girlfriend material but then decided it wouldn’t work out. Don’t immediately write off this person. You two can still be friends. What’s more, she probably has lots of girlfriends.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the boutonniere correctly. Lay the boutonniere flat against the left lapel of the suit. Move the boutonniere so that the flower is on or just below the broadest part of the lapel, covering the top button hole. Lift the lapel to expose the back, holding the flower in place with your non-dominant hand. Push the pin through the back of the lapel and through the stem of the boutonniere. Guide the pin back through the stem and lapel, as though sewing a stitch. Wiggle the boutonniere to make sure it is securely fastened. Use a second pin if you need extra support.

Answer: The floral center should be facing you, and away from your date's chest. The greenery, such as the leaves, should be facing away from you, toward your date's chest. Think of it as going above your date's heart. It should be roughly equidistant between the left and right edges of the lapel. Position the stem at a slight angle so it is running parallel to the edge of the lapel. Inserting the pin from the back will keep the pin hidden so the metal won't catch the light when you take pictures. Position the pin so that it is facing down. The point of the pin should go through the stem where it is thick, just below where it attaches to the petals. The pin should be secure and lay vertically against the lapel. The overall movement is a simple push out all the way through the fabric and the flower stem, then weaving back in through the flower stem and fabric. You can also think of the pin as going forward through the fabric and stem, then back through the fabric again. The head of the pin and the point of the pin will both end up on the back of the lapel, hidden from view. Take a step back and examine the placement, making sure it is not askew or starting to pivot on the pin. If the boutonniere is heavy, you may want to secure it with an second pin. Simply stitch the pin through the lapel and boutonniere as you did before, with this second pin about half an inch below the first.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drill a hole for the leash plug with a 1.33 inch (3.4 cm) diameter drill-bit. Mix 3 oz (100 mL) of hot coat resin with catalyst and pour a bit into the hole. Let the resin cure for at least 1 day before you start to sand. Sand the underside of the surfboard with an electric sander. Moisten very fine-grit sandpaper and sand the board until it becomes glossy. Allow your board to remain unused for 3 days.

Answer: The hole you drill needs to be 2 1/4 to 3 1/4 inches (6 to 8 cm) from the tail, near the stringer. Use a small knife to peel away the fiberglass and foam until the leash plug is even with the deck. The leash plug is what holds the ankle leash to your surfboard. You can get one at a surf shop. Place the leash plug into the hole then fill the rest with resin to set it. Wipe away the excess resin with a paintbrush. After 1 day the resin will be cured and the leash plug will be completely secured to the board. You will now be able to move on to sanding and finishing your board. Sand with fine-grit sandpaper until all bumps and lumps are gone, as well as the gloss. Sand by hand in areas where it is hard to use the electric sander. Don't over sand; this will cause damage to the board. If this happens, use a small amount of surfboard resin and fiberglass cloth to fix the damage, then re-sand to smooth any blemishes. By using very fine grit sandpaper you are just polishing the finish instead of removing it. Sand until it is extremely smooth to the touch and shiny. Without this extra sanding step, your board will make your skin irritated and itchy. Let the surfboard resin completely set to finish the process. Your surfboard will be ready to hit the waves after 3 days are up!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consult a diagram of electron orbital shells. Know the difference between bonding and antibonding orbitals.

Answer:
Note that each shell lies further and further out from the nucleus of the atom. According to the property of entropy, energy always seeks the lowest possible state of order. The electrons will seek to populate the lowest orbital shells available. When two atoms come together to form a molecule, they seek to use each other's electrons to fill the lowest possible states in the electron orbital shells. Bonding electrons are, essentially the electrons that stick together and fall into the lowest states. Antibonding electrons are the "free" or unbonded electrons that are pushed to higher orbital states.  Bonding electrons: By noting how full the orbital shells of each atom are, you can determine how many of the electrons in higher energy states will be able to fill the more stable, lower-energy-state shells of the corresponding atom. These "filling electrons" are referred to as bonding electrons. Antibonding electrons: When the two atoms try to form a molecule by sharing electrons, some electrons will actually be driven to higher-energy-state orbital shells as the lower-energy-state orbital shells are filled up. These electrons are referred to as antibonding electrons.
