INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A boy or girl wants the kind of girl they can take home without their mom instantly hating them. They want the kind of girl they can hug without worrying about snapping her in half. He/she wants a real girl, with an actual personality. Not necessarily a Barbie. People who aim for Barbie-itude aren't worth your time. If someone will talk to you only if you're wearing a Crossing Guard of Negotiable Affections outfit, they're a jerk. Don't let anybody take advantage of you. If you think they'll grow out of it, dump him/her until they do or you'll be in for a lot of misery. Geeks are really cool people. They're usually down-to-earth and really smart. Guys/girls make really awesome normal friends, though. They're unlikely to stab you in the back or gossip about your secrets, and some guys/girls are more sympathetic than you'd think. Some people aren't sympathetic, though. They may just freeze up if you start crying, and not know what to do with you. They're not necessarily trying to be mean, and it doesn't mean they don't care. It's just that they might not know how to handle you. They can often find sound, logical solutions to your problems once you've calmed down, though, so they can still help you out a little. Some people like to fix girls' problems. Everybody has a bit of an ego, though some more than others.

SUMMARY: Don't obsess about being the perfect girl that guys or girls want to date. Don't write someone off just because they can program Linux. Remember, you can be happy without a boyfriend/girlfriend. Be careful not to trod on a person's ego unless it needs treading on.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The two main resolutions for HDTVs are 720P and 1080P Both of these are considered "HD", though 1080P is sometimes called "True HD". Most 1080P TVs can switch to 720P mode depending on the input. Not everyone can tell the difference between the two, but 1080P will result in a clearer, sharper picture.  The larger your TV, the more noticeable the difference between 720P and 1080P will become. 720P-only TVs have largely been phased out, except in the smallest models. These have 4 times the pixels of a 1080P TV, and the sharpness difference can be startling. You may need to be viewing from a specific distance in order to actually see the difference, and a lot rests on the viewers visual acuity. There isn't much out there yet that takes advantage of 4K. TV channels are not yet being broadcast in UHD, and when they do they will require new hardware to convert the signals. Netflix has a very limited selection of 4K content, and only a few Blu-rays have been treated to a 4K remaster. At this point, buying a 4K TV is more future-proofing than anything. 1080P content will still look great on your UHD TV. You won't get HD picture from a VHS player, and only certain devices are capable of outputting at 4K. Not all TV channels broadcast at the same resolution. The PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U are the only video game consoles that can output at 1080P. Computers with high-end video cards can output resolutions even higher than 4K UHD.

SUMMARY: Choose a higher resolution for better picture quality. Look at some 2160P (4K UHD) models. Understand that input matters.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In general, the least toxic cleaner is best for cement. Start with a mild cleanser, like detergent, and work your way up to chemical cleaners if necessary. Chemicals can wear cement down, so they should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. When using an acid-based cleaner, never pour add the acid to a bucket first and then the water. You should add the water followed by the acid. Doing so the other way around can cause a dangerous reaction. Many people use push brooms to target cement floors. However, push brushes are actually less effective than deck brushes. The bristles are too long to effectively remove dirt and debris from cement. If you don't have a deck brush, buy one at a hardware store.

SUMMARY: Start with less toxic cleaners. Do not pour water into acid. Use a deck brush over a push broom.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Someone enduring emotional hardship may struggle to be decisive, or may simply not know how to behave or what to do.  This is an indication of vulnerability, and is an entirely natural reaction to distress.  They may not even want to talk about whatever happened, and you shouldn’t push them to do so unless someone else’s safety or well-being depends on it. If someone insists they need space, give it to them.  Tell them you’ll check back with them in a few days.  Let them know they can contact you whenever they wish to do so and that you’re there for them whenever they want to spend time together. Don’t be incessant, but make sure you behave in a way that lets them know you’re still thinking about them, and that their wellbeing matters to you.  Call or send a card if a week goes by without hearing from them.  Avoid texting, emailing, or using social media to convey condolences, as these communication tools are informal and impersonal. Don’t avoid or ignore someone because you’re uncomfortable with what they’re going through or don’t know how to talk to them.  If you’re uncertain about what to do or say, convey your condolences and ask if there is anything you can do. If they seem to want you around but aren’t saying much, don’t let their silence bother you.  Don’t allow your own nervousness to lead you to talk nonstop.  Remind yourself that they may simply want your company.  Feel free to ask questions about how they’re feeling, or what they’re thinking about.  If they are persistently thinking about whatever happened, they likely need to talk about to it release any pent-up emotions. Avoid asking someone how they feel if you run into them at a social function.  While you should encourage them to talk about how they’re feeling, do so in an environment where you have privacy and can give them your full attention. Following a traumatic incident, some people will be physically exhausted or depressed.  They may sleep more than usual, and may let struggle to complete everyday chores. Help out by doing a load of laundry or cleaning the dishes.  Take care not to do everything though, as this may impede their recovery or make them feel pitied. People need to feel capable of taking care of themselves, even when they need a bit of help doing so. When the person seems ready, ask them what they plan to do.  Don’t be surprised if they do not know or are not excited to talk about it. Provide some potential routes that they might take while offering to help them do so. Even when making recommendations, try to do more listening than talking, and only offer actionable advice.  Any suggestions you make should be based on things they’ve said themselves. Asking them who and what they think might help is a good place to start. Stay alert for any signs of worsening emotional distress. If you ever have the inclination that they need professional help, encourage them to get it. Be prepared to do so by having the contact information to relevant people and organizations available.

SUMMARY:
Don’t rush to establish the next move. Maintain contact. Accept their silence. Help with basic needs. Help them make plans to move forward.
