Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wear a serious facial expression. Avoid giggling or smiling in conversation. Look serious when you think. Maintain neutrality in conversation. Lower your pitch.

Answer: Lower your eyebrows slightly, but do not allow them to slant inward. This can make you look angry. You should also wrinkle your brow, giving you the appearance of being deep in thought, and squint your eyes slightly. It also may benefit you to keep a straight face.  It can take some practice to get a perfect serious expression. Practice in front of the mirror. You can also ask for honest feedback. Take a picture of your serious face and send it to a friend. Have him guess what emotion you're trying to convey. Giggling can make you look nervous. It can also make it seem like you're not taking what the other party is saying seriously. Maintain a straight face during conversation.  If you have a natural tendency to giggle when nervous, work against it. Focus extra hard on the conversation if you feel the need to giggle creeping in. Keep in mind it's rude not to smile or giggle ever. If a co-worker makes a joke, offer a smile and a brief giggle; however, keep it under control. Uproarious laughter is unlikely to make you look serious. Practicing deep breathing can help you calm yourself and it gives you something to pay attention to if you’re trying to avoid nervous giggling. Serious people are often quiet and contemplative. It can benefit you to adopt a serious pose when lost in thought.  Avoid making eye contact with people around you. Fold your arms and cross your legs. Stay quiet and maintain a serious expression. You do not stay in this pose permanently. You only need to hold it until you work through your thoughts. Holding it too long may look awkward. During a serious discussion, try not to react to what you hear. Be aware of your face. Try to hold your serious expression, even if someone says something frustrating or upsetting.  This can be particularly helpful in a business negotiation. You will look unfazed by the other party's offers, leading them to believe you're not easily intimidated. Keep in mind this technique is not appropriate for every situation. A business meeting, or a school function, may warrant a neutral expression, but it may not be appropriate in in casual conversation. You may come off as rude. This can make you sound more authoritative, which can be read as serious. A high-pitched tone can make others read you as nervous and less powerful. Try lowering the pitch of your voice slightly, especially in situations that call for you to behave in a serious fashion. Just before you have to act serious, put your lips together and say, "Um huh, um huh" several times. This helps relax your vocal cords, helping you better control your pitch.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find someone to "zap". Think out what you want to zap them to do. Approach the victim. Write zap in all capitals on the back of your victim's hand. Write what they have to do. Write down who they have to do it to on the palm of their hand. If you get zapped, don't look at the palm of your hand before the designated time or let people tell you who's on your hand unless you think doing what's on your hand isn't that bad.

Answer: Do you want them to hug a guy they like? Say hello to that cute older boy? You can write almost anything. Also, think of a time in the future (two or three hours gives the victim to most suspense to find out who they have to talk to.) Just make sure the time isn't too far in the future. Everyone has a limit as to how long they can wait. Most people will appreciate you asking them if you can zap them, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Write what time it has to be before they can look at the zap (or find out who's on it) without having to do what it says. For example: 2:00 For example: Hug For example: Bob in Social Studies (you could also write the last name, instead of what class they share with the victim.)


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply for your commercial pilot’s license. Log 250 hours of flight time. Take and pass a cumulative practical exam. Complete an agricultural pilot training course. Search for jobs dusting commercial crops.

Answer: Before you climb into the cockpit, you’ll first need to be legally certified to operate an agricultural aircraft. This will require you to earn your commercial pilot's license. If you live in the US, you can apply for your commercial pilot’s license by signing up for an official flight training program sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration.  In order to be eligible to receive your commercial pilot’s licence, you must be at least 18 years of age, demonstrate fluency in the English language, and submit to a thorough physical and medical screening.  There may be other requirements in place depending on your specific state, territory, or country. Earning your license shows that you’re qualified to operate a small aircraft and are flying in compliance with FAA regulations. Of your required hours, 200 will be spent learning the ins-and-outs of operating aircraft from an experienced instructor, while most of the remaining 50 will be dedicated to flying under various conditions. You’ll also be expected to perform 10 hours of solo flight time in which you’ll learn to take off, navigate, and land a plane on your own.  Up to 50 of your 250 hours may be completed in an approved flight-simulator program or similar training module.  The hands-on portion of your flight training may take weeks or months, depending on how long it takes you to rack up your required flight hours. Upon completing your program, you’ll undergo a practical exam designed to test your expertise as a pilot. This exam covers basic aviation skills such as takeoffs, landings, emergency, instrument calibration, and emergency operations, as well as more technical aerial maneuvers. All skills will be performed under the watchful eye of an FAA Inspector or Designated Pilot Examiner. You can find a comprehensive list of the skills and maneuvers covered during the practical exam in the FAA's Airman Certification Standards document. Once you've been awarded your commercial pilot's license, your next step will be to seek out specialized agricultural aviation education. Look for ag pilot programs being offered in your area and enroll in a course that accepts pilots with your individual level of experience. Ag pilot training covers basic farming, chemistry, and entomology principles as well as fundamental aviation skills.  Courses are carried out both in the classroom and on the airstrip, and may run anywhere from 3-4 weeks to 4-6 months, depending on the amount of previous training you have under your belt. In addition to being able to operate different types of aircraft, today’s crop dusters need to be familiar with auxiliary equipment, emergency procedures, and weather patterns that may impact flying conditions. Update your resume to include your newly-acquired credentials and flying experience and begin sending it out to both commercial and private farms in your area. Some of the best places to inquire about crop dusting positions are big food companies and rural airports surrounded by open farmland. You may have to start off as a loader, technician, mechanic before you can graduate to a pilot position.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Connect your PSP or Memory Stick Duo to your computer. Create a new folder called "ISO" on the Memory Stick or PSP. Extract the PSP rar files Copy the ISO files to the "ISO" folder on your PSP or Memory Stick Duo. Disconnect your PSP or reinsert your Memory Stick Duo. Select the "Game" menu on your PSP. Select the Memory Stick option. Select the game you downloaded to open it.

Answer:
Connect your PSP to your computer using the USB cable, or connect your Memory Stick Duo to your computer using a card reader drive, or using a USB adapter. This is the folder you will copy your PSP games to. on your computer.  When you download PSP games, they are usually downloaded in RAR format.  The RAR file contains the ISO files for your games.  You need a program such as WinZip or WinRAR to extract RAR files. You can extract RAR files for free using 7-zip. When you have finished extracting the ISO files, copy the files to the ISO folder on your PSP or Memory Stick Duo.  If the game has many ISO files, you will need to copy all of them to the ISO folder. If you are downloading PS1 games, you will need to copy those files to the "PSP" folder on your PSP or Memory Stick Duo.  Not the ISO folder. After you have finished copy the ISO files to the ISO folder, disconnect your PSP from your computer, or eject your Memory Stick Duo and reinsert it into your PSP. Use the XMB to select the "Game" menu. This folder contains all the games you have installed on your Memory Stick. If the game installed correctly, it should appear in your list of games.  You can open it the same as you would for any game on your PSP.
