INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It’s so simple, and yet it is so effective. A smile immediately opens the door to a conversation. More than likely, she will smile back at you too. Smiling is very inviting and attractive. Don’t stare at her constantly and freak her out, but make sure she knows you are looking at her. If you make eye contact, smile and hold it for a second, then look away. This will let her know that you are into her, and she will be more likely to notice you.  Some say maintaining eye contact 50 % of the time while talking and 70 % of the time while listening is a good balance. Obviously there is no exact calculation, but it is a good idea to make eye contact early and often and maintain it for at least four or five seconds.  For example, try to make eye contact with her periodically while you joke around and hang out with your friends. If you can catch her eye while you are smiling and laughing with your friends she'll be more likely to notice you. She'll see you are having a good time and that you are the life of the party. This is true for both genders.. If you come off seeming sociable and confident by taking up a lot of space in the room and engaging with many different people, you are much more likely to be noticed. If you’re shy and standing in the corner you aren’t doing yourself many favors. You need to be brave and put yourself out there.  Even if you aren’t very brave, this can be an easier way to get noticed. Your friends are probably the people you feel most comfortable around. Joking with them is much easier than making conversation with the person you want to notice you. Some studies show that people think more highly of and are more responsive to you when you strike power poses. Power poses are stances in which your body is open to the group, rather than hunched or contracted. You need to be in a position where she can see you if you want to attract her attention. Stand in her line of sight at a bar or hang out near her. If you go to school with her, try walking past her in the hallway or talking to her teacher. This can at least make her acknowledge you, if only for a second. Sometimes it can be nerve wracking to talk directly to the person that you are attracted to. However, talking to other people around her while you are in a group is a good way to get her to notice you. If you are friends with some or one of her friends, you could talk to this person while they are with her. You could even ask this person to introduce the two of you. For example, if you know someone that she is talking to come up and enter the conversation by talking to that person. Then, once you reach a break in the conversation, you can introduce yourself to her without any awkwardness. It’s been shown that female hitchhikers are much more likely to be picked up if they are wearing red. It has to do with the way our brains respond to sensory cues. Consider ditching your grey sweater and wearing some brighter clothing.

SUMMARY: Smile at her. Make eye contact. Take up a lot of space in the room. Put yourself near her. Talk to people around her. Wear bright colors.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Turn the oven on to 350 °F (177 °C). Get out a rimmed baking sheet and set a wire rack on it. If you bought hot links that are still strung together, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut in between the links. Place as many hot links as you want to roast on the wire rack. Leave a few inches (about 5 cm) between each link so they brown evenly. Place the wire rack on the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the hot links for 10 minutes. Use tongs to turn the hot links over and put them back in the oven. Roast them until they're completely browned on both sides and hot all the way through. This should take another 10 minutes. Wear oven mitts to remove the wire rack and baking sheet from the oven. Use caution because grease may have dripped onto the baking sheet while the hot links were cooking. Serve the hot links with your favorite sides or cut the links up to use as part of another entree. Store leftover roasted hot links in the refrigerator. You can keep them in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
Summary: Preheat the oven and set up roasting tray. Cut the hot links if they're still connected. Arrange the hot links on the wire rack. Roast the hot links for 10 minutes. Turn and roast the hot links for 10 more minutes. Serve the roasted hot links.

Generally, the seller needs to pay any existing loans or liens. Also, the seller pays real estate commissions, title insurance policy with the buyer to receive benefit, and the balance on any leased items that remain on the property. The seller shall also transfer any existing rental or lease deposits to the purchaser at closing. The buyer can pay the deed and deed of trust recording fees, association transfer fees, transfer taxes, insurance (hazard and other), purchaser's settlement fees, and its own loan expenses. The house might sell in the middle of the tax year. Accordingly, you might want to prorate the taxes. You should explain whether taxes will be prorated and what the proration will be based on. For example, you can base the proration on the previous year's taxes, an agreed upon amount, or the most current county information.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place the 2 edges that you’re going to seam together in close proximity—roughly 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) apart. This will give you enough space to apply the 2-part epoxy to the edges, but also make it easier to squeeze the pieces together quickly. This also gives you the opportunity to take one more look at how well the 2 pieces match up. Buy a kit with rubber suction cups and metal turnbuckles (which look like very long bolts) that are intended for clamping countertop seams. For each pair of suction cups, thread a turnbuckle through the openings in the top by turning it clockwise. You want the suction cups to be spaced about 4–6 in (10–15 cm) apart on the turnbuckle so you’ll have room to work between and beneath them.  2 pairs of suction cups and 2 turnbuckles should be sufficient for most countertop seams, but you can use 3 or more for longer seams. You can also buy or rent a tool known as a “seam puller” or “seam setter” that uses vacuum pumps to pull and hold the granite pieces together. If you choose one of these, follow the instructions for proper use. Think of it as placing 2 or 3 “bridges” over the seam, with each turnbuckle serving as the bridge span and the suction cups as the bridge piers. Try to space the suction cups an equal distance from the seam—roughly 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) each.  Make sure the suction cups stick well to the granite. Try moistening the underside of each cup with a damp fingertip if needed. After you apply the 2-part epoxy to the seam, you’ll tighten the turnbuckles to pull the pieces of granite tightly together.

SUMMARY:
Lay the 2 pieces of granite side-by-side. Thread turnbuckles through 2-3 pairs of suction cups. Stick each pair of suction cups on either side of the granite seam.
